|Manganites belonging to the series Gd1−xSrxMnO3 (x=0.3, 0.4 and 0.5) were prepared by wet solid-state reaction and their thermoelectric power was evaluated. Thermoelectric power measurements revealed a peak value at ∼40 K. All the samples exhibited a colossal thermopower at ∼40K and in that Gd0.5Sr0.5MnO3 exhibited a maximum value of ∼35mV/K, which is the largest reported for these class of materials at this temperature. Temperaturedependent magnetisation measurements showed that the samples exhibit a phase transition from paramagnetic to spin-glass–like state at these temperatures. Plausible mechanisms responsible for the observed colossal thermoelectric power in Gd-Sr manganites are discussed

|The present work derives motivation from the so called surface/interfacial magnetism in core shell structures and commercial samples of Fe3O4 and c Fe2O3 with sizes ranging from 20 to 30 nm were coated with polyaniline using plasma polymerization and studied. The High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy images indicate a core shell structure after polyaniline coating and exhibited an increase in saturation magnetization by 2 emu/g. For confirmation, plasma polymerization was performed on maghemite nanoparticles which also exhibited an increase in saturation magnetization. This enhanced magnetization is rather surprising and the reason is found to be an interfacial phenomenon resulting from a contact potential.

|Fine particles of barium ferrite (BaFe12O19) were synthesized by the conventional ceramic technique. These materials were then characterized by the X-ray diffraction method and incorporated in the natural rubber matrix according to a specific receipe for various loadings of ferrite. The rubber ferrite composites (RFC) thus obtained have several applications, and have the advantage of molding into complex shapes. For applications such as microwave absorbers, these composites should have an appropriate dielectric strength with the required mechanical and magnetic properties. The N330 (HAF) carbon black has been added to these RFCs for various loadings to modify the dielectric and mechanical properties. In this article we report the effect of carbon black on the mechanical and dielectric properties of these RFCs. Both the mechanical and dielectric properties can be enhanced by the addition of an appropriate amount of carbon black

|Superparamagnetic nanocomposites based on g-Fe2O3 and sulphonated polystyrene have been synthesized by ion exchange process and the preparation conditions were optimized. Samples were subjected to cycling to study the effect of cycling on the magnetic properties of these composites. The structural and magnetization studies have been carried out. Magnetization studies show the dependence of magnetization on the number of ion exchange cycles. Doping of cobalt at the range in to the g-Fe2O3 lattice was effected in situ and the doping was varied in the atomic percentage range 1–10. The exact amount of cobalt dopant as well as the iron content was estimated by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The effect of cobalt in modifying the properties of the composites was then studied and the results indicate that the coercivity can be tuned by the amount of cobalt in the composites. The tuning of both the magnetization and the coercivity can be achieved by a combination of cycling of ion exchange and the incorporation of cobalt

|Nanosized ZnFe2O4 particles containing traces of a-Fe2O3 by intent were produced by low temperature chemical coprecipitation methods. These particles were subjected to high-energy ball milling. These were then characterised using X-ray diffraction, magnetisation and dielectric studies. The effect of milling on zinc ferrite particles have been studied with a view to ascertaining the anomalous behaviour of these materials in the nanoregime. X-ray diffraction and magnetisation studies carried out show that these particles are associated with strains and it is the surface effects that contribute to the magnetisation. Hematite percentage, probably due to decomposition of zinc ferrite, increases with milling. Dielectric behaviour of these particles is due to interfacial polarisation as proposed by Koops. Also the defects caused by the milling produce traps in the surface layer contributes to dielectric permittivity via spin polarised electron tunnelling between grains. The ionic mechanism is enhanced in dielectrics with the rise in temperature which results in the increase of dielectric permittivity with temperature.
|Nickel–rubber nanocomposites were synthesized by incorporating ferromagnetic nickel nanoparticles in a natural rubber as well as neoprene rubber matrix. Complex dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability of these composites were evaluated in the X-band microwave frequencies at room temperature using cavity perturbation technique. The dielectric loss in natural rubber is smaller compared to neoprene rubber. A steady increase in the dielectric permittivity is observed with increase in the content of nickel in both the composites. The magnetic permeability exhibits a steady decrease with increase in frequency and magnetic loss shows a relaxation at 8 GHz. The suitability of these composites as microwave absorbers is modeled based on the reflection loss which is dependant on the real and imaginary components of the complex dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability.

|Magnetic properties of nano-crystalline soft magnetic alloys have usually been correlated to structural evolution with heat treatment. However, literature reports pertaining to the study of nano-crystalline thin films are less abundant. Thin films of Fe40Ni38B18Mo4 were deposited on glass substrates under a high vacuum of ≈ 10−6 Torr by employing resistive heating. They were annealed at various temperatures ranging from 373 to 773K based on differential scanning calorimetric studies carried out on the ribbons. The magnetic characteristics were investigated using vibrating sample magnetometry. Morphological characterizations were carried out using atomic force microscopy (AFM), and magnetic force microscopy (MFM) imaging is used to study the domain characteristics. The variation of magnetic properties with thermal annealing is also investigated. From AFM and MFM images it can be inferred that the crystallization temperature of the as-prepared films are lower than their bulk counterparts. Also there is a progressive evolution of coercivity up to 573 K, which is an indication of the lowering of nano-crystallization temperature in thin films. The variation of coercivity with the structural evolution of the thin films with annealing is discussed and a plausible explanation is provided using the modified random anisotropy model

|Ferrofluids belonging to the series NixFe1 xFe2O4 were synthesised by two different procedures—one by standard co-precipitation techniques, the other by co-precipitation for synthesis of particles and dispersion aided by high-energy ball milling with a view to understand the effect of strain and size anisotropy on the magneto-optical properties of ferrofluids. The birefringence measurements were carried out using a standard ellipsometer. The birefringence signal obtained for chemically synthesised samples was satisfactorily fitted to the standard second Langevin function. The ball-milled ferrofluids showed a deviation and their birefringence was enhanced by an order. This large enhancement in the birefringence value cannot be attributed to the increase in grain size of the samples, considering that the grain sizes of sample synthesised by both modes are comparable; instead, it can be attributed to the lattice strain-induced shape anisotropy(oblation) arising from the high-energy ball-milling process. Thus magnetic-optical (MO) signals can be tuned by ball-milling process, which can find potential applications

|Nanoparticles are of immense importance both from the fundamental and application points of view. They exhibit quantum size effects which are manifested in their improved magnetic and electric properties. Mechanical attrition by high energy ball milling (HEBM) is a top down process for producing fine particles. However, fineness is associated with high surface area and hence is prone to oxidation which has a detrimental effect on the useful properties of these materials. Passivation of nanoparticles is known to inhibit surface oxidation. At the same time, coating polymer film on inorganic materials modifies the surface properties drastically. In this work a modified set-up consisting of an RF plasma polymerization technique is employed to coat a thin layer of a polymer film on Fe nanoparticles produced by HEBM. Ball-milled particles having different particle size ranges are coated with polyaniline. Their electrical properties are investigated by measuring the dc conductivity in the temperature range 10–300 K. The low temperature dc conductivity (I–V ) exhibited nonlinearity. This nonlinearity observed is explained on the basis of the critical path model. There is clear-cut evidence for the occurrence of intergranular tunnelling. The results are presented here in this paper

|Fine particles of cobalt ferrite were synthesized by the sol–gel method. Subsequent heat treatment at different temperatures yielded cobalt ferrites having different grain sizes. X-ray diffraction studies were carried out to elucidate the structure of all the samples. Dielectric permittivity and ac conductivity of all the samples were evaluated as a function of frequency, temperature and grain size. The variation of permittivity and ac conductivity with frequency reveals that the dispersion is due to Maxwell–Wagner type interfacial polarization in general, with a noted variation from the expected behaviour for the cold synthesized samples. High permittivity and conductivity for small grains were explained on the basis of the correlated barrier-hopping model

|Nanoparticles of nickel ferrite have been synthesized by the sol–gel method and the effect of grain size on its structural and magnetic properties have been studied in detail. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies revealed that all the samples are single phasic possessing the inverse spinel structure. Grain size of the sol–gel synthesized powders has been determined from the XRD data and the strain graph. A grain size of 9 nm was observed for the as prepared powders of NiFe2O4 obtained through the sol–gel method. It was also observed that strain was induced during the firing process. Magnetization measurements have been carried out on all the samples prepared in the present series. It was found that the specific magnetization of the nanosized NiFe2O4 powders was lower than that of the corresponding coarse-grained counterparts and decreased with a decrease in grain size. The coercivity of the sol–gel synthesized NiFe2O4 nanoparticles attained a maximum value when the grain size was 15nm and then decreased as the grain size was increased further.

|Flexile single layer electromagnetic wave absorbers were designed by incorporating appropriate amounts of carbon black in a nitrile butadiene rubber matrix along with an optimized amount of magnetic counterpart, namely, barium hexaferrite for applications in S, C, and X-bands. Effective dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability were measured using cavity perturbation method in the frequency range of 2–12 GHz. The microwave absorbing characteristics of the composites were studied in the S, C, and X-bands employing a model in which an electromagnetic wave is incident normally on a metal terminated single layer. Reflection loss exceeding 20 dB is obtained for all the samples in a wide frequency range of 2–12 GHz when an appropriate absorber thickness between 5 and 9mm is chosen. The impact of carbon black is clearly observed in the optimized composites on the mechanical strength, thickness, band width of absorption, dielectric properties,

|Multimodal imaging agents that combine magnetic and fluorescent imaging capabilities are desirable for the high spatial and temporal resolution. In the present work, we report the synthesis of multifunctional fluorescent ferrofluids using iron oxide as the magnetic core and rhodamine B as fluorochrome shell. The core–shell structure was designed in such a way that fluorescence quenching due to the inner magnetic core was minimized by an intermediate layer of silica. The intermediate passive layer of silica was realized by a novel method which involves the esterification reaction between the epoxy group of prehydrolysed 3-Glyidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane and the surfactant over iron oxide. The as-synthesized ferrofluids have a high saturation magnetization in the range of 62–65 emu/g and were found to emit light of wavelength 640 nm ( excitation = 446 nm). Time resolved life time decay analysis showed a bi-exponential decay pattern with an increase in the decay life time in the presence of intermediate silica layer. Cytotoxicity studies confirmed the cell viability of these materials. The in vitro MRI imaging illustrated a high contrast when these multimodal nano probes were employed and the R2 relaxivity of these ∗Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.

|Mn1-xZnxFe2O4 nanoparticles (x=0-1) were synthesized by wet chemical co-precipitation techniques. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were effectively utilized to investigate the different structural parameters. The elemental analysis was conducted using energy-dispersive spectrum and inductively coupled plasma analysis. The magnetic properties such as magnetization and coercivity were measured using vibrating sample magnetometer. The observed magnetization values of the nanoparticles were found to be lower compared to the bulk counterpart. The magnetization showed a gradual decrease with zinc substitution except for a small increase from x=0.2 to 0.3. The Curie temperature was found to be enhanced in the case of ferrites in the nanoregime. The variation in lattice constant, reduced magnetization values, variation of magnetization with zinc substitution, the presence of a net magnetic moment for the zinc ferrite and the enhancement in Curie temperature in Mn1-xZnxFe2O4 all provide evidence to the existence of a metastable cation distribution together with possible surface effects at the nanoregime.
|The magnetocaloric properties of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were investigated to evaluate the potential of these materials as magnetic refrigerants. Nanosized cobalt ferrites were synthesized by the method of sol–gel combustion. The nanoparticles were found to be spherical with an average crystallite size of 14 nm. The magnetic entropy change ( Sm) calculated indirectly from magnetization isotherms in the temperature region 170–320 K was found to be negative, signifying an inverse magnetocaloric effect in the nanoparticles. The magnitudes of the Sm values were found to be larger when compared to the reported values in the literature for the corresponding ferrite materials in the nanoregime.

|Fine particles of barium ferrite (BaFe12O19) belonging to the M-type hexagonal ferrites were prepared by the conventional ceramic techniques. They were incorporated into a nitrile rubber matrix according to a specific recipe for various loadings to produce rubber ferrite composites (RFC). The percolation threshold is not reached for a maximum loading of 130 phr (parts per hundred rubber). Here in this paper, the magnetic properties and processability of the nitrile rubber based RFCs containing barium ferrite (BaF) and HAF carbon black is reported. The magnetic properties of the ceramic ferrite and these rubber ferrite composites were evaluated and it was found that the coercivity values of RFCs were less than that of the ceramic BaF, but remained constant with the loading of both the ferrite filler and carbon black. However, other properties like saturation magnetization and magnetic remanence increased with the loading of ferrite filler.

|Polycrystalline single phasic mixed ferrites belonging to the series Ni1−xZnxFe2O4 for various values of x have been prepared by conventional ceramic techniques. Pre-characterized nickel zinc ferrites were then incorporated into a natural rubber matrix according to a specific recipe for various loadings. The processability and cure parameters were then determined. The magnetic properties of the ceramic filler as well as the ferrite loaded rubber ferrite composites (RFC) were evaluated and compared. A general equation for predicting the magnetic properties was also formulated. The validity of these equations were then checked and correlated with the experimental data. The coercivity of the RFCs almost resemble that of the ceramic component in the RFC. Percolation threshold is not reached for a maximum loading of 120 phr (parts per hundred rubber by weight) of the filler. These studies indicate that flexible magnets can be made with appropriate magnetic properties namely saturation magnetisation (Ms) and magnetic field strength (Hc) by a judicious choice of x and a corresponding loading. These studies also suggest that there is no possible interaction between the filler and the matrix at least at the macroscopic level. The formulated equation will aid in synthesizing RFCs with predetermined magnetic

|Here we report the multiferroic nature of charge ordered manganite Gd0.5Sr0.5MnO3 for the first time. The temperature variation of dielectric constant shows broad relaxor type ferroelectric transition at around 210K and magnetization measurements shows weak ferromagnetism at 50K. The dielectric peak is very close to charge ordering temperature which is an evidence of the link between electronic state and increase of dielectric response. Butterfly variation of capacitance with voltage confirms ferroelectric nature of the sample at room temperature

|Nickel nanocomposites were prepared by incorporating nickel nanoparticles in a neoprene matrix according to a specific recipe for various loadings of nickel particles. The dielectric properties of these composites were evaluated for different frequencies ranging from 100 kHz to 8MHz at different temperatures from 30 ◦C to 120 ◦C. The dielectric permittivity increases with increase of nickel concentration. Increase in temperature enhances the permittivity initially, till 40 ◦C and thereafter the permittivity decreases. The dielectric loss exhibits relaxation peaks and the peaks shift to lower frequencies with increase in volume fraction of the nickel nanoparticles in the matrix. The evaluation of magnetic and dielectric properties of these composites suggests that the dielectric permittivity can be tailored by an appropriate loading of the filler using semi-empirical equations and the magnetic properties vary according to simple mixture equations

Investment Fund Seeks to Find a Marketable Cure for ALS
The founders of a for-profit investment fund aimed at finding a marketable cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease which all three founders have, recently announced that they will organize an ALS investors day on May 19 in Amsterdam, during which they will reveal the blueprint of an approach to finding a marketable cure for the disease.
A news release from the organization states that the ALS investment fund will allocate capital to create sound investment opportunities for investors and also "fill the ALS treatment pipeline with hope."
According to co-founder Bernard Muller, nominated EY entrepreneur of the year in Netherlands, this latest initiative, which follows the organization's launch of a global genetic research study called project MinE, "will enable us to show the potential impact of a truly meaningful investment that will bring hope to patients without ignoring the demand from investors for a return on their investment and it will also bring cost savings for health insurers as well as real translational research and shared success."
The fund reportedly hopes to raise €100 million and is aimed at impact investors.

By Mark Soltau
STANFORD, Calif. - Wide receiver Kodi Whitfield has been pining to contribute to the Stanford offense this season, and Saturday against Washington State, he got his chance.
The 6-foot-2, 188-pound true freshman from Loyola High in Los Angeles, made his first career reception in the first quarter. The play only went for six yards, but it was a start.
Late in the fourth quarter, Whitfield made a key seven-yard catch on third-and-four to extend a drive and keep the clock running, as 19th-ranked Stanford held on to beat the upset-minded Cougars, 24-17.
"It was great finally having the hard work pay off," said Whitfield. "The coaches put a plan in for me and got me an early touch. It just feels good to finally transfer practice into the game."
Earlier in the week, David Shaw, the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football, said he has been trying to get the speedy Whitfield more involved, but the ball just hasn't been thrown his way.
"You can't really complain," Whitfield said. "It's just the way things work out. I get equal opportunities and finally got to capitalize today."
Whitfield's father, Bob, was an All-America offensive tackle at Stanford and a Pro Bowl selection in the NFL. He usually attends games, but was not among the announced crowd of 41,496 at Stanford Stadium.
"None of my family was here," smiled Whitfield. "The one game they don't come to, I do well. They might have to stay home for the rest of them."
For much of the game, the Cardinal offense struggled against the Washington State defense. The Cougars outgained Stanford in total yards, 385 to 256, and ran 84 plays compared to 52 by the Cardinal.
"We just weren't executing," Whitfield said. "We weren't doing the things that got us to this point and made us the team that we are. Toward the end, you started to see a little of that as our defense played out of their mind - as usual - and our offense came up with a key first down."
Prior to the season, the coaching staff told Whitfield he would get a chance to contribute right away. He never lost confidence and has kept working hard in practice.
"Yea, definitely," he said. "That's what I worked hard for in the summer, high school and all that stuff, just for the opportunity. For it to happen in a game finally is just great."
* * *
Stanford sacked WSU quarterback Jeff Tuel 10 times for minus-62 yards. Still, he was elusive, prolonged drives by scrambling 17 times, and often gave the Cardinal defense fits.
"He's a very mobile quarterback," said senior nose tackle Terrence Stephens. "He's a senior and knows what he's doing. You've got to contain him and force him to make bad throws."
Tuel completed 43 of 61 passes for 401 yards, and was only intercepted once. But it was a big one, junior free safety Ed Reynolds returning it 25 yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
Admittedly, the Cardinal front seven was frustrated at times.
"Always," said Stephens. "Trying your hardest and not getting there is frustrating. But you've just got to keep fighting and it worked out in our favor."
Afterward, there was no big celebration by Stanford players. It was more relief, knowing they had avoided a loss without playing their best football.
"At the end of the day, it's not what we wanted," Stephens said. "But we got the win and know we need to try and continue to improve. That's all we can do. Good teams come down on themselves when they don't meet up to their expectations. And that was not our expectation of performance."
* * *
Extra points: Shaw said true freshman offensive left tackle Andrus Peat had his best week of practice and rewarded him with a second-half start that carried throughout the rest of the game ... true freshman Joshua Garnett received his first collegiate start at right guard ... wide receiver Ty Montgomery suited up but did not play for the third consecutive game due to an undisclosed injury ... the 1992 Cardinal football team celebrated its 20th anniversary on Saturday and many former players, including quarterback Steve Stenstrom and running back Glyn Milburn, were recognized at halftime ... Stanford's newest Nobel laureates, Prof. Brian Kobilka and Prof. Alvin Roth, were honored on the field during the break between the first and second quarters ... Stanford supporter Tench Coxe was the game's honorary captain.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Portal 2 FCS print, a bit disappointed at the quality http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=61033&th=12606#msg_61033 <![CDATA[Edit (15/04/2013): Problem solved, the reprint came out great: Click here to see

 Hi Shapeways community,

 My latest order arrived today and this was my first print using full colour sandstone (FCS from here on out). When I saw this, I couldn't help but feel disappointed with my print as it seemed to have very heavy frosting/noise and I was hoping any veterans using FCS could advise me before I contact shapeways customer service.

 As mentioned, it's my first print in FCS so it's possible I'm setting my expectations too high, but when I look at other people's pictures, it seems to just make me think this isn't quite right.

 For instance, nervousSystem posted up this recently ( http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=12598& amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp;start=0&).
 There's also this one by Ad-Edge ( http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=11846& amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp;start=0&).
 The colours are very nice/consistent throughout and there is far less "frosting" than I see on mine (even in the dark areas on their models it seems).

 Below are some pictures and little blurbs that highlight what I am trying to illustrate in the picture. I've included some hi-res links also so you can get a better look if you need it. The noise/frosting does come out fractionally more in the pictures I do have to say, but it's not wildly out from what it is like in real life.

 Scale is approx 10cm x 10cm x 1cm

 Hi-res link
 Lot's of "frosting" throughout the model. Especially noticable on the dark areas.

 Hi-res link
 Another angle, just for comparative reasons. Again showing the heavy frosting all over the model.

 Hi-res link
 In this picture I wanted to try and photo the angled edge on the red portion of the model. I'm not sure if the picture picks it up, but in real life, it has a somewhat yellow tinge to all that frosting/noise on the angular side of the red portion.

 Hi-res link
 This is more focused on the flat red portion

 Hi-res link

If you look at nervoussystems images, you can see some "frosting" as you call it. But it looks like the lighting hides it better. Also by the layers it looks like their items are bigger than yours. So the images being taken farther back would look less frosted. You are always welcome to contact service about how you feel about your prints. We like to know how we impress, and how we are below your expectations. I'd read Ad-Edges post more, and look at post production techniques for bringing the best color our of your color prints. ]]> Youknowwho4eva 2013-01-29T20:53:34-00:00 Re: Portal 2 FCS print, a bit disappointed at the quality http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=61035&th=12606#msg_61035 <![CDATA[Thanks Youknowwho4eva, really appreciate the fast response.

 Even holding it at an arms length away and looking at it at different angles (for seeing different lighting conditions on the surface), you are right, at some angles it's more noticeable than others. However, at any angle I've looked at it so far (again, at arms length), the "frosting" (I'm not sure if there's a better word for describing it?) is still quite considerable in comparison to other people's prints (not just the 2 examples I mentioned earlier).

 AD-Edge did post some before and after "post production" pictures, but even the "before" pictures didn't appear to have as much as I seem to see on my print.

 A concern of mine is that if I put this up for public sale and people have to use 'post-production' techniques to remove this 'frosting' (that's if this is not a misprint issue, but how it would normally print with this material), it can be a turn off for potential buyers and also mean that this cannot be sold on shapeways publicly. Instead I may have to order these, carry out post-production and then sell them on ebay or alike myself, charging additional for post-production and a second postage to the end customer. Or just not sell these

 I'll hold off contacting customer services until tomorrow just in case anyone else has an opinion on this. As I mentioned, it's my first FCS print so I was just keen on hearing what others who print in this material have to say, as I have nothing to compare this to myself first hand.

 I don't want to keep this entire thread negative, so I will say that one thing that I was impressed with. It did seem to come out fairly strong and it doesn't seem "slightly brittle" as the materials page describes it (I wouldn't hit it against a wall or anything, but I would say this could withstand a good force). I'm not sure if that's because of this particular model's geometry or not, but like I said, I was impressed.

 Thanks again for such a quick response.]]> Psychobob 2013-01-29T21:34:05-00:00 Re: Portal 2 FCS print, a bit disappointed at the quality http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=61036&th=12606#msg_61036 <![CDATA[I suspect at least part of that effect/defect may depend on your choice of colors (dithering - the ZCorp printers are sort of a cross
 between a state-of-the-art 3D printer and a mid-1990s inkjet).]]> mkroeker 2013-01-29T22:28:17-00:00 Re: Portal 2 FCS print, a bit disappointed at the quality http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=61045&th=12606#msg_61045 <![CDATA[Hmm, I think that looks a little odd. From my experience, the color should be solid and mostly matte, no variation beyond suddle lighting from fine texture and print layers. Your print looks like white goo is left behind along each printed layer at random amounts.

 If lighting was to blame, then why does the white goo get thicker and thinner over flat areas like on the red surface.

 Take a look at my large full color print I got this month. I was absolutely amazed at the quality. Color was bright and vivid, solid, and nothing to clean up. This is a how looks straight from Shapeways. Lighting is two recessed lights directly above and some soft surrounding lights.

 Spike Full Color Print: http://shpws.me/n98V

 2nd to last picture has some nice closeups. Such as the wooden stump and books, face, you can begin to see some print lines and texture, but no white goo or frosting on anything. I'm glad received a good print so customers that order have good reference in case they receive a bad print, especially for what they paid.

 Also, here's a white and dark-gray figure with a new photo I took at the same time/ similar lighting, printed back in November 2011.
 Toon Lemur Full Color Print: http://shpws.me/lBnL

 My first Lemur print had to be reprinted actually. Two were ordered around the same time, one by a friend and one for me. We received them a week apart. My friend lives in the Netherlands near Shapeways, while I'm in the US. Her copy was good, not perfect, but acceptable to her. While mine had several defects. Not exactly goo, but odd patches of uneven color and rougher print lines than usual. The link below is a thread I started over the issue. You see her print, mine, and the final reprinted copy. There are a lot of close-ups, different lighting, so sometimes it does look like there's frosting on the gray areas. Though, my final copy looks great at any distance.

 Thanks for keeping us updated, looking forward to seeing the improved piece. Sometimes below-par prints slip through, then other times they'll make the judgement call to reprint it before mailing. They did the latter with my recent order of my Spike print. It missed the estimated shipping date 3 days ago. So I contacted Shapeways today and they told me it had to be reprinted.

 Also, yesterday a customer told me their order came in and it looked great, with very short production time. That was a big worry off my mind. If you're worried about this happening again to customers, add a good disclaimer in the description. Probably mentioning Shapeways excellent customer service will usually determine a reprint is acceptable if the quality doesn't meet your pictured sample quality, a perfect print.]]> Brian123 2013-01-31T17:23:01-00:00 Re: Portal 2 FCS print, a bit disappointed at the quality http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=61123&th=12606#msg_61123 <![CDATA[Please not that Sandstone is listed as half a week delay.

 I received some re-prints that Shapeways had organised for me and the snowy/frosty issue was fixed. It took a little while to arrive as they had the printer issues, but that wasn't a problem for this model.

 Unfortunately it looks like there's a new problem on the reprints. So I thought I would update this thread so others can see that Shapeways did indeed do a reprint for me on the original issue and also so that I have uploaded some new pictures that I can point Shapeways customer services at.

 The new problem is that the reprint seems to be missing chunks of layers in areas on the model. Pictures speak louder than words and will be much more clear that I can describe, so I've got some pictures below to show the issue. The original print didn't have this issue, so I'm sure it's a misprint.

 Hires link
 First a quick picture showing the difference between the original and the reprint. Looks far better, the snowy issue is much better, the colours are solid this time and even the graphics look sharper. However, this picture doesn't show the problem. Keep scrolling down to see it.

 Hires link
 This picture helps show the issue. There's a big clump on the red button part that is raised and there are then divots in various other areas. The 1st print didn't have this issue.

 Hires link
 This image is a colour coded version of the above picture to help illustrate the problematic areas. The bright green area shows the parts that are raised, the pink shows all the divots or recessed areas.

 Hires link
 Not so concerned bout the bottom, but just illustrating there are some divots here also.

 Hires link
 Not a big issue, but in 1 place there seems to be a clump of glue. I'm sure I could pick this free, but I'll wait to hear back from shaepways before I try anything in case it damages it.

 So, off to contact Shapeways CS again and will report back once more on the outcome.

I'm sure they'll have it fixed for you. I'm hoping recent problems are due to a color printing facility moving to a new location, which caused a delay for a recent print of mine.

 Speaking of that print, I just received it and everything looks perfect except for a small visible layer of glue stuck to it. Unfortunately that excess glue is right on the character's face and is not removable. Like having a dead pixel in the center of a new screen, small, but ruins it as a whole. I'm waiting to hear from Shapeways. I did notice two tiny spots that were oddly raised or recessed like the issues on your 2nd portal print, located on the flat base. Almost didn't notice it, so no where near as bad as your print, but the glue on the face is very distracting.

 My first print of the model was perfect, except for issues that were my fault. I revised the model and ordered this 2nd print to be my final piece. After all that hard work, and delays, it's hard to settle for one with a defect that wasn't there on the previous print.

 Here's a post I made asking if anyone knows techniques to remove this glue, but no responses, includes photos:

 So what was the outcome after over the re-print with new issues?

 I just received my re-print 30 minutes ago and it had a new issue that never occurred with other prints of it. This time they overlooked the material inside the mouth.

 I've done two prints before, a test print that was smaller, and the final print with a white goo on the face. The inside of the mouth on those prints were perfect, you could see the tiny ugola, which showed off the detail of 3D printing. This time, the whole back of the mouth is filled with white. This must be the first time for this issue since I've not heard any complaints from customer orders. It's modeled feature I clearly point out with a detailed photo on the product page.

 The back of the mouth is actually a hole to the hollow head, and the head can drain through the neck into the body, and so on to the bottom of the base.]]> Brian123 2013-03-18T20:46:46-00:00 Re: Portal 2 FCS print, a bit disappointed at the quality http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=64415&th=12606#msg_64415 <![CDATA[Hi Brian,

 The first print seemed to have a snowy issue. Shapeways looked into this and it was apparently caused by not being submerged in the solution long enough. So they then issued a second print.

 That print then had the latest issues where it looked like there were missing layers from the model in various places, again Shapeways offered to reprint again for me.

 I'm currently now waiting on the delivery of the 3rd print, which is on a delivery van as we speak and estimated to be delivered by today. Once I've received the new print I'll report back on that.

 In regards to your item, I would say if you've printed the model before and not had an issue, but on the latest one you have, get in touch with customer services. They're generally pretty good at coming back to you on any issues. It's worth taking some photos for them also to illustrate the issue and so they can identify exactly what was wrong. You don't necessarily have to upload them to the forum if you don't want to, but you will need to upload them somewhere for them to see the pictures as I don't believe the web form allows you to attach any pictures.

The box arrived at the office and I opened it up, looked pretty good .... at first.

 The surface didn't have any errors like print 2, and there didn't seem to be a snowy issue like in print 1. However this time, the colour seems to look like it's faded and has a tinge of cream throughout.

 As always below are some pictures to explain the problem.

 Here a picture of all 3 prints I've had done to date of this model (the oldest is on the left and the most recent is on the right). It's been progressively been getting better, but as you can just about make out in this picture, the latest's prints colour is off. It seems to be faded and have somewhat of a tinge of cream to the colour. The previous two prints had issues but as you can see their colours match whilst the latest doesn't.
 HiRes link

 This picture shows the 2nd print and the 3rd print (most recent) side by side and a bit closer together. The latest print on the right has a cream tinge to it.
 HiRes link

 Here's I've stacked the 2 pieces ontop of each other to make it much easier to compare. The latest print is on the bottom and the previous print is on top. As you can see there is a cream tinge to it and some of the colours look faded. In the previous version (the top one), you can see a difference between the black and dark grey 'legs' of the piece. In the most recent (bottom piece), there's not that much of a difference between the two.
 HiRes link

 This shows the bottom of the piece. ot too concerned about the bottom, but this does show the colour difference. The most recent print is on the left and the previous print is on the right. It has a cream tinge and is much more faded than the previous version.
 HiRes link

 So the history so far is:-

 Print 1 - Snowy finish and very 'noisy' colours as a result. No problems with the surface as such

 Print 2 - Colours were good, no snowy issues and colours were smooth. Surface had divots and layer chunks missing

 Print 3 - Surface was good and smooth, pretty glossy I might add which I liked. Colours look wrong as they seem to have a tinge of cream and looks faded (more obvious in some areas than others)

 So, I'm off to contact Shapeways again for attempt number 4. I bet they must love my emails(!)

 On the plus side, I did order a second item in strong and flexible, and that came through and looks fine from what I can tell. I'll post that one up in a week or two once I've finished processing it.

 The latest reprint arrived last week and I'm sure Shapeways CS will be happy to hear that they can see the back of me on this, as I'm very pleased with the re-print!

 I've only had enough time to take a very quick picture but below is picture of the new re-print. No frosting/snowy issues, layer chunks missing or incorrect colours! The colours look really nice in person

 At this point in time, I'm also feeling those misprints may have actually been a blessing in disguise as I now have some spares to test smoothing out on.

 So far the first test was a disaster, simply spraying on my usual varnish reacted in a really odd way (I can only imagine it reacted to the glue solution these are dipped in) and completely frosted over. You could barely see any of the original texture below it. I got a few more tests going on the pieces (trying a varnish I use for oil paints now), but can't report back on anything yet.

 Once I've finished those test I'll probably then make a post on my website, take some better pictures and then maybe even put this up in my shop

The Yankees on Tuesday believed they had made major progress in their negotiations with free-agent left-hander CC Sabathia. And while they weren't certain he was ready to accept their six-year, $140 million offer, they were feeling better about it than ever.We owe some thanks to reader SCOTT97701 for his comment that originally alerted us to the developing story.
In other late-breaking news (it's late-breaking here in the east, anyway), Joe Girardi left his meeting with Ben Sheets impressed.
The Yanks are also being mentioned as front-runners for Derek Lowe. The Phillies have also emerged as prominent bidders on Lowe, according to Bryan Hoch.
A.J. Burnett's agent piped up to say his client is still interested in Atlanta, and doesn't expect to sign a deal this week. That's no surprise, as we've mentioned, it only behooves Burnett to wait until Sabathia signs.
And finally, WasWatching informs us (via the St. Petersburg Times) that the Rays are interested in both Jason Giambi and Bobby Abreu. Can't say we blame them for their interest, as both would fit in nicely into that Rays lineup.

As one of its three core competencies in ethics, entrepreneurship, and sustainable business practices, the University of Wyoming College of Business launched its current Business Ethics program in 2005 under the guidance of Professors O.C. and Linda Ferrell. Endowed by the Daniels Fund, the program is a statewide initiative that draws on and reinforces Wyoming's existing reputation as a highly ethical place in which to do business. The Business Ethics program advances research and teaching regionally and nationally via the Daniels Fund Ethics Consortium of eight universities across the Rocky Mountain West.
The College believes that exposing students to "real world" decision situations and interactions with senior business and government decision makers, as well as integrating ethical decision making methods throughout the business curriculum, are essential for students as they prepare to assume roles in today's fast-paced, globalized business world. Wyoming businesses, community colleges, and NGO's use the program as a business ethics and social responsibility resource, while providing living examples of ethical decision making challenges in return.
Tim Mazur is the Bill Daniels Distinguished Professor of Business Ethics. In this role, which Tim began in Summer 2014, he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses, leads business ethics initiatives both on- and off-campus, and represents Wyoming in the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative.
Previously, Tim spent eight years as the Chief Operating Officer of the Ethics & Compliance Officer Association (ECOA), the world's leading professional association for ethics and compliance officers and their staffs. Tim helped lead the ECOA's pursuit of its mission from two perspectives: operational and functional. As operations leader, Tim managed the association's $2.5 million budget and led its staff of ten. On the functional side, Tim leveraged his experience as a former ethics officer at two Fortune 500 corporations to help Executive Director Keith Darcy shape the association's strategy.
Tim is an ethicist with 27 years of experience in business ethics and social responsibility. Prior to joining the ECOA, Tim was vice president, ethics, at Countrywide Financial Corporation. Tim joined Countrywide after serving as regional ethics and compliance officer and regional privacy officer for Blue Cross Blue Shield in Colorado.
Tim's first few years in ethics and compliance were as a management consultant, at times with KPMG LLP, the Council for Ethics in Economics, the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, the Josephson Institute for the Advancement of Ethics, and the Ethics Resource Center. In these roles, Tim helped 44 clients reshape their law-based compliance programs into values-based ethics programs.
Prior to Wyoming, Tim has taught in the M.B.A. programs at six universities, published numerous professional articles, and served as executive-in-residence at a business school. He has sat on the boards of two nonprofit organizations and appeared on national television, in print, and on radio as a business commentator. He worked in Washington, D.C., for the U.S. Congress; delivered testimony at a hearing before the U.S. Sentencing Commission; and, in a criminal matter, served as an expert witness to the U.S. Department of Justice for judging the effectiveness of a corporate ethics program.
Tim earned his M.B.A. degree in business economics and public policy at The George Washington University and a B.A. degree in political science at San Diego State University.

LFN Guild Reports
I thought I'd start a new thread to keep folks up to date with the happenings of our official LFN guilds and where they are now. We've been a part of The Old Republic since it's launch and our humble guilds have had quite a history, particularly TWC.
So here's the first report...
LFN Guild Report #1
TWC has managed to get 25 members (46 toons), 3 of who aren't even members of LucasForums!
IMB has a respectable 15 members (26 toons) however, if things go the way I hope they're going, we may see a nice increase in that number soonish.
TWC have a number of people who have reached level 50. Jeff, Mav (who is leading the charge with TWO lv50 toons), Kusanavi, and myself got there first. Then out of nowhere mim comes along with his Scoundrel and hits 50. We've taken him on some hard mode flashpoint runs and I've personally gone through quite a few dailies with him. The crazy guy is so committed to dailies that he does them practically every day, we find it hard to keep up with him!
IMB also has quite a few level 50 toons on its roster with DarthParametric leading the charge with not one, but two lv50 characters. Along with him is Miltiades and myself with my beloved Silvana.
The newest member of both guilds at the time of this post is Chevron 7 locke
...which I've only just noticed.
For the under 50s, we've been seeing a lot of folks from both TWC and IMB logging on and playing their toons. Most folks are going solo but there have been quite a few times when people have teamed up which is great. I know I played through quite a bit of the Sith Warrior storyline with DP which was fun since we got to see both sides of the light side/dark side divide. Hopefully we can get more of that happening with the endgame content.
Quite a few of us have been working on our crafting skills and we've been helping out as many of the under 50 guild members as possible. I've been gearing up as many of the Troopers and Smugglers as I can in our guild and I know others have been crafting items for other members of the guild too. If you want any kind of help with gear, just let folks in the guild know in-game or better yet, in this forum, and we can help you out.
Moving on to community news, TWC have been out and about in force among the community in Vornskr. The first time our members cooperated with folks outside of the guild was when Jeff, Mav, Kus and I were on Belsavis doing dailies and we passed a group that was waiting around for other of its members to come and help defeat the world boss. I happened to have spoken with the leader of that group, Axe of the guild "Chimera" randomly on the fleet station one day and recognised him. Next thing we know we were part of their ops group and taking on that world boss to try to get the magenta crystal schematic from it. We teamed up with them a few times more but things really picked up once something called the "
Casual Alliance
" caught out attention on the official forums.
Zazz and Sujin of Clan Dukane, another guild on Vornskr, started up an alliance of smaller guilds on the server that have all banded together to tackle endgame content together which alone we wouldn't be able to do. Our for leading lv50 members, Jeff, Mav, Kus and myself have done many Operations with them and have formed quite a relationship with the people of the Casual Alliance. In our latest victory, we were able to complete both Hard Mode Operations over the weekend where we all had a hell of a lot of fun.
We're hoping others from TWC will join us in doing Operations and hard mode flashpoints when the time comes
Of course, there's no rush, everyone has their own pace.
Anyway, that's what's been going on lately on our LFN guilds since we started our journey with TOR. If anyone else has anything to add about what they've gotten up to with the guilds, let us know.
| Ch4 coming soon...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Joe Morgan was contrite speaking to the media for the first time Thursday after being arrested nearly two weeks ago for DWI and driving without a valid license.
"I made a mistake for sure," Morgan said after the Saints' final minicamp practice. "As a man I can say that. It was something that was truly a mistake. The good thing about it is that I didn't get hurt and nobody else got hurt. That was a God-given thing. God is teaching me a lesson. I'm learning.
"I learned the hard way, but it's good that I actually learned that lesson."
Saints Coach Sean Payton said after Thursday's practice he feels Morgan could be the team's No. 3 receiver and the deep threat in the passing game in 2013. So Morgan's spot on the roster, regardless of the arrest, seems pretty secure. Morgan admitted, though, he put himself in jeopardy by being arrested with a blood-alcohol level of .218 percent.
"Of course that's something you have to think about," Morgan said. "That's my job. If you did something in your job, you would be concerned if it was your job. That was something in the back of my mind, but once I sat down and talked to Coach Payton, it was something that we could handle."
Morgan wouldn't go into details about what was said in his meeting with Payton, but said "it wasn't all hugs and kisses" from his teammates after he return to the team from his arrest. He said there were some "lashes" from his teammates and they were treating him as if they were his big brothers. But overall, Morgan said he feels the support from his teammates through his legal troubles.
"One of the good things about this team, is
that it's not like guys don't care about you at all," Morgan said. "They
actually look at you like family. I call a lot of the guys around here my
brother. When they found out the situation, everyone was calling to say 'Joe,
are you OK?' They were making sure my well being was taken care of first
besides the football aspect of it.
"I love that part of the New Orleans Saints, that it's a family atmosphere."
It's the same type of message Drew Brees gave to Morgan last week when the arrest occurred.
"He's got a great (meeting) room that he's in there with guys like Lance Moore and Marques Colston, guys who have been around a long time and done things the right way and true pros," Brees said. "What you find is leaders is pull him under their wing and give them the best advice they can. But in the end, there's consequences to actions and you pay your debt and you move on. And hopefully you're better for it."
Morgan is subject to possible discipline by the NFL regarding his arrest. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said alcohol-related violations of law are covered under the substance abuse policy. Aiello added that a first-time offense, with no aggravating circumstances, calls for a fine of two game checks up to maximum of $50,000.
Morgan has participated in every organized team activity and minicamp session since his arrest. The third-year receiver said he feels like he'll have to work harder throughout the offseason and beyond to make up for his legal mistakes.
"No matter who it is, if it was me, or the average Joe, it's something that's viewed as bad," Morgan said. "But given my status or whatever, I'll just get more out there than anybody else. It's just something that comes with the nature of the business."

EPA Proposes Regulations on Biggest Greenhouse Gas Emitters
By Jim Tankersly in the Los Angeles Times, September 30 3009
The Environmental Protection Agency announced plans today to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, factories and oil refineries -- a warning shot to Congress that if it does not move to curb global warming, the Obama administration will act on its own.
The proposed regulation would apply to large-scale industrial sources of the heat-trapping gases but not to smaller sources, such as new schools, as some critics of EPA action had feared. It will force new -- or substantially modified -- industrial emitters to "demonstrate the use of best available control technologies and energy efficiency measures" to minimize greenhouse-gas emissions, according to the EPA.

Walking is a basic movement we use every day, but it can require discipline to walk enough to gain health benefits. It's recommended that individuals take at least 10,000 steps each day.
If you have been sedentary for a long period of time, you will want to start out slower and aim for shorter distances. Write these tangible goals down in a notebook or calendar so that you can keep yourself on track and monitor small successes. or exercise, which can be easily measured by a pedometer.
Generally, the best locations have a flat terrain, straight path, smooth surface and minimal traffic. The convenient choice would be the neighborhood around your block, but if the road is too steep, curvy or just not what you're looking for, you might want to consider other areas around your town.
You can go to your nearest high school; many schools allow town residents to walk the track when not being used.
Take your car to a park if it's too far away to walk; parks are often flat and very peaceful.
Some cities have bike boulevards (e.g., Bryant Street in Palo Alto, CA)or walking paths that are relatively flat and well-maintained. They also generally have less traffic from cars. These are good areas to pick for walking as well.
If you won't be tempted by the stores, shopping malls are also good locations for walking around. They are flat, large, and probably contain many different paths so you won't become bored.
If you live near a large body of water, the shoreline can be a nice, relaxing place to get some fresh air and to work in an early morning hike.
If indoor exercise is your thing, use a treadmill set to a slow speed for walking.
Don't expect to see fast results. Incorporating walking into your daily schedule is about making healthier choices towards a better lifestyle, and it's a change that you should maintain indefinitely. Don't use walking as a get-fit-quick scheme or as a quick, one-shot weight loss tool.
Make sure you have consumed at least 8-16 ounces of water an hour before you are about to walk. Drink more water if you plan to walk for a longer time. You don't want to become dehydrated while you are exercising, especially under a hot sun.
Make sure that no matter how far you get from your starting point, you are able to get back there. Walking on an oval track no more than a quarter mile around should be perfect.

On Tuesday, Chad Pollitt of Business 2 Community posted a very interesting article about
dying content marketing campaigns. Many businesses believe that their content marketing strategies simply are not working.
People are sparking debates about the subject all over the Internet. Some insist the problem is quality, others say it's a matter of quantity. But, according to the Pollitt:
"The reason most marketers believe their content isn't effective has little to do with quality and/or quantity. Great content goes unread everyday on the Internet. Most believe their ineffectiveness is a content problem. In actuality, however, it's an audience problem."
In other words, you don't necessarily have to increase your content marketing strategy budget to make it more effective. If you're not getting the results you desire, your content's quality or how frequently you publish may not be the problem. (This is information most content marketing companies don't want you to know.)
Getting Lost in the Content Crowd
The amount of content created and published online each day is growing tremendously. And, the number of people online searching for solutions to their problems increases each day, too. Many of them end up reading content looking for these solutions.
But, the rate of content publishing is increasing at such a fast pace. This makes it almost impossible for search engines to keep up. That's why it's getting harder and harder for entrepreneurs and small businesses to be heard online. Most of their content simply gets lost in the downpour of new content being published each second of the day.
So, what's the problem with your content marketing strategy campaigns?
As noted above, the problem is not your content marketing strategy. You're having an audience problem.
Continuing to produce better and more content just adds to all of the noise online. Most consumers visit trusted sites when they're seeking information about product and service solutions. Then, they simply digest only what they believe is relevant to their lives and current issues.
In most cases, these trusted sites already have developed, healthy audiences. Most entrepreneurs and small businesses who think their content is ineffective don't have loyal audiences of their own. And, there lies the issue. You have an audience problem.
As soon as content marketers begin to realize this, they will take steps to figure out how to get content cited, covered and featured by these trusted sites, especially those with large audiences. Some of these may include:
- Paid media channels
- Earned media channels
- Native advertising
- Advertiser tutorials
- Influencer outreach methods
Better Content Distribution is Key
Ready to get better results from your content marketing strategy campaigns? Then, it's time to concentrate less on producing content, and concentrate more on improving distribution.
Better distribution will help you with the following:
- Improve the quality of your overall online content
- Accelerate the feedback cycle about your brand online
- Create higher quality, relevant backlinks to your site
So, stop spending every penny of your content marketing budget on getting new content created and written. Instead, put aside a large chunk of that budget, and invest it in earned media channels and paid media channels.
Earned Media VS Paid Media
What's the difference between paid media and earned media? Well according to Todd Wasserman:
"If you pay to have something distributed, then it's paid media. But if someone else distributes it for you, then it's earned media."
Concentrating your efforts on earned media and paid media channels will help your brand break out from all the noise online. Then, your content will become more effective among your target audience, improving your content marketing strategy as a whole.

St. Louis Park, Minn. - In honor of Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month, Park Nicollet hosted a free skin cancer screening event at the Frauenshuh Cancer Center on Saturday, May 17th.
"Demand was off the charts this year, with 103 people coming in to be screened." said Dr. Larisa Speetzen, a Park Nicollet dermatologist who donated her time at the event. :That's encouraging because it means the public is getting the message that prevention is key."
Melanoma of the skin is the most common type of cancer in the United States, with nearly 1,500 new cases reported last year in Minnesota. The American Academy of Dermatologists designates May of each year as a month to raise awareness and encourage screening for the disease.
"Melanoma and other skin cancers are highly treatable and curable if detected early, but that's a problem for people who don't have good access to coverage or care," Dr. Speetzen said. "We use this event each year as an opportunity to reach out to people in our area who might not otherwise get the care they need, and to educate the public about the need to protect one's skin."
28 team members from Park Nicollet dermatology and the Frauenshuh Cancer Center donated a total of 100 volunteer hours to the screening event. Of the 103 individuals who were screened, 38 were referred for follow up for further evaluation based on their results - including eight who showed signs of non-melanoma skin cancer.

|"Approximate Solutions to Second Order Parabolic Equations with Applications to Option Pricing"
|Ph.D. Thesis Defense
|Wen Cheng, Advisers: Anna Mazzucato/Victor Nistor
|In this thesis, we consider second order parabolic equations with coefficients that vary both in space and in time (non-autonomous). We derive closed-form approximations to the associated fundamental solution by extending the Dyson-Taylor commutator method recently developed by Costantinescu, Costanzino, Mazzucato and Nistor for autonomous equations. We establish error bounds in Sobolev spaces and show that, by including enough terms, our approximation can be proven to be accurate to arbitrary high order in the short-time limit. We show how our method can give an approximation of the solution for any fixed time and within any given tolerance. To extend our results to large time, we introduce the so called bootstrap scheme, and show that the total error is still under control in this scheme, but the short time limitation can be removed. For applications, we adapt our ideas to Kolmogorov backward equations that appear in various research fields, such as option pricing. We also numerically compare our results with many other methods in the literature and show that our Dyson-Taylor Commutator method is algorithmically more elementary, it works for more general PDEs, and it gives fairly accurate approximations that are good enough in practice.
