Research Topics
Summary: Separation of one or more kinds of cells from whole blood with the return of other blood cell constituents to the patient or donor. This is accomplished with an instrument that uses centrifugation to separate the cells into different layers based on the differences in cell density (displacement) or drag coefficients in a current (elutriation). The procedure is commonly used in adoptive transfer to isolate NK cells, lymphocytes, or monocytes.

Throttle curve for learning to fly
I am getting a T-rex and G3 Simulator. I read an article by Nigel Fraser Ker on setting up the T-rex. It talks about the throttle and pitch curves and for a beginner only using positive pitch. Is that the way to learn and will G3 be setup that way or will it be setup to have a full pitch range?
What is the setup called when the middle of the throttle is neutral and up and down give + and - pitch. Is that a flight mode?
|Jun 08, 2006, 01:38 AM
don't have G3 so can't comment on its models.
The mode you are talking about is usually called "idle up" (throttle constant while pitch goes from all neg to all pos.). You can learn to fly with a mode that has all positive pitch. That way if you have to slam the throttle down, the heli won't slam down to the ground.
|Jun 08, 2006, 02:51 AM
On g3 the impala trainer would be a good heli to use. I think its only positive pitch, and it has training balls on it.
|Jun 08, 2006, 03:21 AM
You want a few degrees of negative pitch, otherwise the helicopter is near impossible to fly in the wind. In real life, anyway :-).
|Jun 08, 2006, 03:44 AM
I have G3, and haven't bothered to look for a way to remove negative pitch.
I recommend that from the start, you use G3 the way you will eventually fly the real heli, in idle-up mode. On the simulator, slamming the throttle stick down in a panic will cause a spectacular shower of parts, which will shock you, but won't cost you a penny!
But what it will do, is get your brain to really appreciate the danger of doing it for real. If you set up the G3 controller with the idle up switch the same as your real Tx, you can then start up in normal mode, and once the rotor is spooled up, flick the idle-up switch and fly.
Now, let's move to the real heli. I suggest that you set up mechanical idle-up pitch to be + & - as per Finless's videos, and then adjust your pitch curve to be something like 30-50-50-75-100. The idea is that dropping the stick slightly below middle won't cause a slam, but if you really need to lose altitude without losing control (which can happen with normal, as reducing pitch also reduces throttle), you can bring the stick right down until you have reached a reasonable height.
Another thing to do in G3 is to go for the throttle hold switch before you crash, as this is a very good habit to be in when flying the real one.
I could hover before I got G3, but I am staggered at how much better I fly now that I spend a lot of time on the sim.

Offensive lineman Michael Reardon will decide by the end of this week whether to return to the USC football team for a fifth season or join the workforce.
Reardon, who started the final five games of 2010 at left guard, has been debating whether to play football one more year or take a job with his dad's company.
Reardon has been accepted into the graduate program at USC's Annenberg School, so he'd get a year of free school if he kept playing.
It also gives him a deadline; second-semester classes start Jan. 10.
"It has made me look at it in a new light," said Reardon, who still classified himself as "indecisive."
One other factor: Reardon just got engaged, having popped the question to his unsuspecting girlfriend at midnight on New Year's Eve.

|Multiple Crossings > Xander-Centered
|During the spell that activated the potentials, Xander was the 'heart'. What if, due to that spell, he really did become the Heart of the Slayers? And due to that, all the Slayers world-wide, knew he was important and special?
I want a fic that has Xander as the Heart, where all the Slayers want him as their Watcher, or as a brother, or in some cases as a lover. However, I want this to be a Xander/Faith/Oz fic. And I want Xander to be Melinda Halliwell's Watcher. (The daughter of Piper and Leo from Charmed, younger sister of Wyatt and Chris.)
I also want something to have happened in Africa where Xander disappeared for a month and Faith and Oz were the ones that found him. He had reverted to his Hyena-feral self, and Oz's wolf is the only thing that calmed him. After a while, he is sent with Faith and Oz to be Melinda's Watcher so he can better heal without all the other Slayers at the school swarming/mothering him to death.
Spike needs to be important too. Either he was a doomed relationship with Xander that ended amicably and Spike is still protective of him, or Spike see's Xander as his 'pet' and is still protective of him.
And this story should include as many crossovers as relevantly possible. Yup. Have fun.

In Your 50s? Working Dream Job a Silver Bullet
HUNT VALLEY, Md. ( TheStreet) -- In the first of this two-part series, we discussed the amazing leverage that can be gained, even in the case of an apparently floundering retirement scenario, when moving from a higher-cost-of-living area to one that is cheaper. But I fully recognize that while many will see this as an exciting retirement adventure, some would view it as a life-ending transition due to their attachment to their current home, especially if they're near family.
You do still have another option, and much as silver bullet No. 1 was summed up in one word -- "move" -- so too is No. 2: Work.
|Retirees should consider continuing to work, but this doesn't mean full time or doing work that drains you. This is a license to create a dream job.
It's not what you think. If you're one of the many retired or soon-to-be retired who've dutifully labored for a lifetime, largely motivated by the vision of the day you'd be able to dance your way out of your office, never to return, I'm not intending to obliterate that daydream. In fact, the only way this second silver bullet will work is if you're able to find -- or create -- a vocation that gives you as much or more joy than being fully retired. And this isn't just advice coming from your financial planner, but also your doctor, as Anne Tergesen discovered in her 2005 BusinessWeek cover story, Live Long and Prosper. Seriously. She quotes Dr. Jochanan Stessman, head of the geriatric and rehabilitation department of Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, as saying, "There's a strong argument for continuing to work throughout life."This doesn't mean you have to work full time; nor does it mean you should be doing work that drains you. This is your license to create your dream job and begin to plan a phase of life we'll call pseudo-retirement: You're working enough to keep your mind and body functioning at high levels with enough income to reduce your need to tap your nest egg. Let's look at this in the context of our hypothetical retiree: Age of couple: 62
Assets: Includes a home worth $500,000 and a nest egg of $800,000
Liabilities: Mortgage of $200,000
Income need: $100,000
Income: Social Security brings in $18,000 and the nest egg, at 4%, brings in $32,000, for a total $50,000.

Unprecedented Measurements Provide Better Understanding of Methane Emissions During Natural Gas Production
A new study from The University of Texas at Austin reports on extensive measurements of methane emissions — including the first measurements for methane emissions taken directly at the well pad — during completion operations for hydraulically fractured wells. A team of researchers from UT Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering and environmental testing firms URS and Aerodyne Research completed measurements at 190 natural gas production sites across the United States. The study was published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

"Best version I have ever heard."
I have hundreds of audio books. This is not only the best version of the bible I have ever heard it is also just an amazing listen in general. The cast of readers and huge range of sound effects make you feel like your in a movie theater. I will be buying the entire set. If your like me, I always wanted to read the bible but it became boring after a time. This is audio book will fix that. It really makes the bible feel like an adventure.
"good biblical dramatization"
his deep voice is perfect for the creation passage of Scripture.
some of the background noises (crickets) were a little more prominent than i thought they needed to be but it did not detract from the reading of the bible passage.
It's pretty good, even though its only 10 minutes long
No other book compares to this story because it comes straight from the Bible
I have the entire audio Bible, so I enjoyed all of it
No, wasn't long enough to move me, even though the story of Creation is a beautiful story.
Sci-fi has nothing over God
"A Good Bible Story"
A well written and read children's Bible story, hope that more Bible stories will be available soon
An audible addict:)
Yes! I would like to buy the book
Performance is captivating
Yes, by the book as this is only a review
"Voice tooo boomy"
I find it hard to listen to as this Mega Bass VOICE keeps on saying And the Looooord Goood yada yada.
I enjoy the Message Bible Recordings better.
"bible reading only"
this is merely a bible reading and despite it being free is not worth the download space.

What the fanciest hospital suites forget
In a March 4 Atlantic article, Lindsay Abrams asks how much should be spent beautifying hospitals. She reviews evidence that making the hospital experience more appealing and comfortable can actually improve health outcomes. For example, natural lighting can ease pain and elevate mood. But the issue of how hospitals are designed goes far beyond creature comforts. Most notably, the move from shared to private hospital rooms has major implications for what the hospital experience means to patients. Given the choice, who wouldn't opt for a private room? But on closer analysis, the choice for many turns out not to be quite so clear.
A friend has given birth in two very different places. One birth experience took place in an old-world hospital where she stayed on a ward, a large room housing up to a dozen patients. This hospital boasted a relatively thin staff, a skimpy food service, and relatively few amenities. The other birth took place in a state-of-the-art U.S. women's hospital, replete with private rooms and guest services rivaling a five-star hotel. Had some problem arisen with her labor and delivery, there is little doubt that the U.S. hospital would have been able to provide more sophisticated equipment and personnel to deal with it. However, both births proceeded uneventfully. So which birth experience did she prefer?
In our haste to control infections, we isolate them. In our zeal to preserve confidentiality, we prevent patients from getting to know each other.
Many of my colleagues in medicine naturally assume that she would choose the women's hospital back in the States. It offers second-to-none medical technology, world-class health professionals, and out-of-this world creature comforts that leave many patients feeling more thoroughly pampered than at any other time in their lives. Yet when asked where she would prefer to have her next baby, she replies unhesitatingly that she would opt for the old world hospital. Why? There she felt less alone. She could talk and bond with other patients. She felt like part of a community of mothers. "It just felt so good being with all those other moms," she says with a wistful smile.
Over the past century, the architecture of the American hospital has undergone a dramatic transformation. At one time, patients were generally housed in open wards, where each was aware of what was happening with the others and conversations between patients were common. Then wards were replaced with smaller rooms, generally occupied by two patients. In both situations, privacy could be difficult to sustain, in part because doctors and nurses seeking to preserve privacy could often do little more than pull a curtain. Today, the ward is ancient history and the double room is fast going the way of the dinosaurs. Hospitals being built today feature private rooms.
Nobody wants to lose sleep due to a roommate's television viewing or snoring. Yet sometimes our zeal for privacy gets the better of us, short-circuiting opportunities for compassion and community. It is hard to be ill and in pain, especially seriously so, but such burdens are often magnified when we shoulder them alone. When the poet John Donne famously wrote that "No man is an island," he was not making a purely descriptive statement. He was also highlighting our powerful need for companionship -- someone to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, and a human being to share our experiences with. Typically, the events taking place in hospitals represent experiences when we need one another most.
In some respects, hospitals increasingly resemble high-security prisons, where we go out of our way to preclude patients from interacting. In our haste to control infections, we isolate them. In our zeal to preserve confidentiality, we prevent patients from getting to know each other. They sometimes begin to feel as though they are being kept like specimens in hermetically sealed containers. To spend day after day in a single room, particularly when visits from family and friends are few and far between, can resemble a form of solitary confinement. Yet patients are not only threats to one another. They can also serve as mutual bridges to companionship and healing.
Even though health professionals such as nurses and doctors frequently interact with patients, there is a limit to what we can offer. For one thing, the people in white coats and surgical scrubs are often too busy to allow the development of a deep human connection. Moreover, many of us have never been seriously ill or hospitalized ourselves. By contrast, other patients often know what the world looks like from the vantage point of a hospital bed. They have been through similar travails, and certain kinds of conversations may be possible only with another sick person. While some patients may do well in isolation, others long for more human contact.

97 points Wine Spectator: "Shows a very ripe nose, with rose, berry and hints of meat. Full-bodied and powerful, with chewy tannins and a long, long finish. Massive yet balanced. What a wine. The greatest Saffredi ever made. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Alicante. Better than previously reviewed. Best after 2012." (10/07) 95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Le Pupille's 2004 Saffredi is a remarkable wine, in fact the aromatics alone are worth the price of admission. This French oak-aged blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Alicante possesses stunning harmony as layers of plums, blackberries, toasted oak, mint and flowers emerge from its vibrant, structured frame. The tannins are remarkably polished. From start to finish, this beautifully sculpted wine is a high class effort from proprietor Elisabetta Geppetti and oenologist Christian Le Sommer. It is highly recommended. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024." (06/08) Three Glasses, Gambero Rosso: "...an extra year's bottle aging seems to have benefited the wine, which is in dazzling form. Saffredi '04 walked away with Three Glasses in one of its best-ever versions. This stylish blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and alicante has crystal clear aromas and beautifully gauged oak. The palate is soft and sophisticated with very subtle tannins and delightful progression." (2008)

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP)—Legislative officials say a special New York Senate committee is recommending either censuring or expelling Sen. Hiram Monserrate following his misdemeanor assault conviction last year.
The officials are familiar with the report and spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly. They say the decision leaves fate of Monserrate in the hands of the full Senate.
A lawyer for the Queens Democrat, Joseph Tacopina, has said there's no legal foundation for expulsion.
Monserrate was convicted of dragging his girlfriend but acquitted of a felony. Her face was slashed by broken glass during what both called an accident.

Fortigent, LLC, a leading provider of outsourced wealth management solutions for financial advisors and institutions targeting high net worth clients, has selected IndexIQ's IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy SMA Portfolio as an Alternative Investment solution for the firm's Access Overlay TM customizable UMA program, it was announced today.
Fortigent's selection of the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy SMA represents the latest global financial platform to offer IndexIQ's flagship hedge fund replication strategies. Approximately 90 firms use Fortigent to support their investment research, performance reporting, Unified Managed Account (UMA), and alternative investment needs, and the firm has more than $50 billion in assets on the platform.
"We are thrilled with Fortigent's selection of IndexIQ's IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy SMA to be one of the alternative investment SMA solutions in Fortigent's fast-growing UMA program," said Adam Patti, IndexIQ's CEO. "Our fundamental value proposition is to offer financial advisors and investors a transparent, liquid, low cost set of alternative investment products and, particularly within the context of today's very uncertain economic and market conditions, that value proposition is resonating."
Scott Welch, Co-Founder and Senior Managing Director of Investment Research & Strategy at Fortigent, added: "We are excited to include IndexIQ's IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy SMA in our Access Overlay™ customizable UMA program. This portfolio is the first alternative investment strategy offered in an SMA format selected to be included in our UMA program. In this low return, highly volatile market, we believe advisors may benefit if they can offer alternative investment portfolios that are easy to understand, easy to implement, and easy to rebalance. One of Fortigent's core service offerings is to support advisors in employing effective and innovative alternative investments as they build and manage globally diversified portfolios – and we believe IndexIQ's IQ Hedge solution should be considered by our clients navigating the still-nascent but rapidly growing liquid alternative investment space."
