Methanotrophs: As an Environmental RemedyBY: Lal Chand Malav | Category: Environmental-Biotechnology | Submitted: 2015-05-05 11:17:20
Article Summary: "Methanotrophic bacteria are inimitable and ubiquitous bacteria that utilize methane as a sole source of carbon and energy from the atmosphere. They are highly specialized group of aerobic bacteria and have a unique capacity for oxidation of certain types of organic pollutants like alkanes, aromatics, halogenated alkenes, etc. Ox.."
Methanotrophs: As an environmental remedies
Authors: Lal Chand Malav, Shakeel A. Khan, Sandeep Kumar, Mahesh Kumar Malav
Global warming is the burning issue worldwide now. Methane (CH4) is one of the greenhouse gases (GHGs), which contributes to global warming. Methane is about 25 times more effective as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide (CO2). Methanotrophs are the only known significant biological sink for atmospheric CH4 and play a crucial role in reducing CH4 load up to 15 % to the total global CH4 destruction (Singh et al. 2010).
Broad-spectrum methane oxidizing methane monooxygenase (MMO) enzyme is found only in methanotrophs, which possess two forms, namely membrane-associated or particulate form (pMMO) and soluble or cytoplasmic form (sMMO). The pMMO is found in all known methanotrophs except for the genus Methylocella (acidophilic) (Theisen et al. 2005), while the sMMO is present only in a few methanotroph strains (Murrell et al. 2000). There are several sources that generate huge amount of toxic heavy metals/metalloids (Cr, Cd, Pb, As, Cu, Zn, Ni, Hg, etc.) and organic pollutants into the environment (Wijnhoven et al. 2007). Soils contaminated with heavy metals and/or organic pollutants are generally left abandoned for several years and therefore may not be safe for agricultural production.
Remediation of hazardous organic pollutants by methanotrophs-
Methanotrophs synthesize both particulate and soluble forms of methane monooxygenases (pMMO and sMMO, respectively), which can co-metabolize diverse type of hydrocarbons and halogenated organic compounds including aromatics.
Remediation of heavy metals by methanotrophs-
Methanotrophs also influence the speciation and bioavailability of metals in the environment. Eg. Reductive transformation of soluble and more toxic Cr(VI) into a less toxic Cr(III)species by methanotrophic bacteria (Methylococcus capsulatus Bath), as the Cr(III) is insoluble and tends to get precipitated at high pH.

Source: Pandey et al.,2013
Factors affecting methanotrophic remediation-
temperature, pH, salinity, sodicity, drought, and different types of chemicals, population of methanotrophs and the ammonium and/or nitrite ions concentration.
Genetic engineering in methanotrophs for enhanced bioremediation-
With the aid of biotechnology and genetic engineering, bacteria have been exploited for in-situ bioremediation of a wide range of pollutants. Genetic engineering in methanotrophs may provide opportunities to exploit the unusual reactivity and broad substrate profile of MMO for maximum benefit in the field of remediation technologies and to manipulate the tolerance, degradation potential of methanotrophs against various organic and inorganic pollutants through introduction of desired genes. Thus, the development and application of genetic engineering of the native methanotrophs will definitely offer more efficient and enhanced bioremediation of the pollutants viz. heavy metals, organics or co-contaminants, making the bioremediation more viable for environment remediation.

Limitations to methanotrophic bioremediation-
1. High cell density cultivation
2. Number of culture conditions and
3. Fermentation technologies
4. Slow growing strains
5. Low solubility of methane and
6. Oxygen in aqueous phase

I have had a huge crush on this guy forever. I knew I didn't have much of a chance with him considering he lives approx 4200 Miles away, and he doesn't do long distance. Then, this other guy who's a good friend of mine asked me out the other day. Both are 3 years older than me (oopsie) by the way. Anyway, I told the guy that asked me out about how I just broke up with my previous boy friend because I liked another guy, but I was still getting over the break up (which I was I wasn't lying) and I didn't want to go straight into another relationship 2 days after I broke up with someone. He automatically assumes it was him I liked and he's been strongly flirting with me ever since. My now ex boy friend lives near me. The guy I like lives approx 4200 miles away, and the guy that asked me out lives approx 3000 miles away. I feel like I'm leading the guy that asked me out on because I'm letting him flirt with me and think that I like him back when I don't. I'm clueless and I don't want to ruin our good friendship and I'm afraid I'll get called a "slut" or "whore" or etc. for liking someone else other than him. I hope this made sense and if it didn't I'll clarify. xoxo
I feel I am leading someone on?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 2
Wow that was a mouthful. My advice to you is this dear, Be honest and upfront with the guy who asked you out. If you're crushing on another man then let him know that. Trust me no man wants to be lead on and it will be better in the long run that you were up front and honest with him about how you felt about him from the beginning than letting flirt with you and and making a fool of himself over time. If her as good of friend like you say he is he will understand and thank you for being up front and honest with him.21|10|0
Okay thank you!!! I'm most definitely NOT trying to lead him on and I'll try to clarify and be upfront with him asap (: I've been lead on as well and I know it is notttt a great feeling. Thank you!!
You're in too deep. You can't lead him on forever. Confess, ask for forgiveness, and if you can be friends. When he finds out be understanding that his feelings are hurt. I wish people didn't led others on. Its really uncool.11|00|0
Thank you! I agree. I've been lead on before and it definitely is not fun. I'm most definitely not TRYING to lead him out and I'll try to get everything straight and clarified (: thanks again!!

A last-minute repair at Hornsby K-8 has kept sixth- through eighth-grade pupils without a hot lunch for a week, and it will be another week before the cold sandwiches are exchanged for hot plates.
Just days before school began Aug. 7, the Richmond County fire marshal determined the exhaust hood in the kitchen of the school's second building, which houses about 311 pupils, needed to be replaced, leaving the kitchen unusable for cooking, said Joe Bradenburg, the school nutrition coordinator.
The situation is the first in recent history for the school system and has left some parents concerned.
"We've served these sorts of lunches for field trips, but we've never had to confront this for an extended period," Mr. Bradenburg said.
For most of the summer, the second building of Hornsby, which was East Augusta Middle School until this year, was under renovation, Mr. Bradenburg said. Crews were removing asbestos, painting and repairing restrooms in the cafeteria, but once the fire marshal declared the exhaust hood a hazard, all work was halted.
"Now we have replaced the hood, but we have to complete the other work that must be done," Mr. Bradenburg said.
The repairs are to be finished by Aug. 24, but if not the students will begin eating lunch in the first building, where pupils in pre-K through fifth grade are housed, Mr. Bradenburg said. The pupils haven't been eating in the first building because of remaining construction work.
"The building has no coverage or walkway to the first building, and clearly that would have been an issue with the weather we've had this week," Mr. Bradenburg said. "These are things that will be resolved soon."
Dorothy Law said she isn't satisfied with that reasoning. Her twin great-nieces are in seventh grade at Hornsby.
"They haven't been eating their lunches all week," she said Thursday. "At least they could have been eating in the other building. This is not something they should slack on."
Assistant Principal Charles Givens said the lunches are temporary and are still satisfying the pupils' nutritional needs.
"We're using high-quality lunches that have sandwiches and vegetables," he said. "There are just a couple of minor issues that have to be resolved before hot meals can be served."

Has anyone ever made something like this and does it taste good?
I've been asked by a local engineering company to make some cookies for their team that's riding in the BP MS150 bike ride in a couple of weeks. I would love to do this, but a couple of people on the team are allergic to eggs, which is one of the key ingredients in most cookie recipes.
If anyone has made these before, will you please share your recipe with me? I've googled some recipes, but I want to hear from the cookie masters before I experiment.
I like the Brown Bag Shortbread recipe (Classic Shortbread) on this page (there are other recipes too) -- the recipe isn't large but it tastes great. It's meant to fill one shortbread mold.
Of course you can roll out and cut shortbread too.
Can shortbread cookied be decorated like sugar cookies?
I will have to find out how severe the allergies are on this team before I proceed with decorating, though. If it's something in the yolks that they're allergic to, then I should be okay to use the whites in RI, but if the whites are a problem, then I won't be able to decorate with RI at all.
Are you looking for ANY cookie recipe or just the rolled-out-cut-out kind? I have one or two non-egg ones, but the book is at the shop so I can't get them for you until tomorrow.
Here is a recipe my friend Carla gave me. She makes it with her mom every year. The only problem is....it seemed to spread on me even after I froze the dough before baking. GOOD LUCK!
Beth in KY
1 stick of butter or ½ cup of shortening (we always used butter, I would think if you used shortening you would need the buttered flavor)
1 tbsp milk
¾ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cup flour (we used self rising and omitted the soda, salt and baking powder, but Im including those amounts too if you want to use all purpose)
½ tsp soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
Sift dry ingredients, cream first four and add dry, chill and roll out on floured surface. You can drop these out on a cookie sheet and they puff up so prettyI personally love these that way. Dont over cook!!!! They need not get golden.
Indydebi - I'd like to have a couple different varieties of eggless cookies. I want to experiment with different ones before I feed them to paying customers.
My coworkers will eat just about anything and give me feedback on it.
bethola - Thanks for the recipe. I'm going to try it this weekend.
GREAT! Let me know if you find the "secret" of how to keep them from spreading so much! We made them for the Bus Ministry at Church for the Christmas Party. Of course the kids ate 'em right up! Well, MAYBE a couple were a little brown around the edges and "we" had to eat the "ugly" cookies! LOL
PS You're Welcome! Happy Baking!
Just found a recipe for Cream cheese rollout cookies, there is no egg in it. Put orange extract & a touch of vanilla in them.
Just took them out of the oven. They reminded me of the taste of the dough on the old Hostess brand fruit pies. This would be very nice with some jam in a thumbprint cookie shape.
Used this cookie cutter on this recipe. These cutters worked perfectly with this recipe. I'll roll them out thinner next time I make them.
AThe foolproof holiday roll out cookie recipe from Cook's Illustrated uses cream cheese instead of egg and doesn't spread when rolled thin.
This recipe worked so well in keeping the details of the cookie stamp, it's more of a visual thing than a taste thing for me. I posted it here on CC to share a nice recipe as an alternative to the normal cookie recipe with eggs. I'm happy to keep my SFSC recipe for regular cookie baking.
I have one which has ground almonds and coconut in, no eggs.
They are delicious, I usually dust them with icing sugar.If you are interested in the recipe let me know.

Forums > General Industry > Are blondes not taken as seriously as brunettes?
I am on LA Casting which is the major casting website for actors/models in the Los Angeles area. I literally see hundreds of casting calls. I have been noticing a consistant repeat pattern of the casting calls specifically requesting "no blondes" or "brunettes only". Many of them seem very firm about it.
There have been many times when I am going through a casting call and I am perfect for it until I get to the part that says "no blondes". Very frustrating. Right now this blonde is not having more fun.
Then when I look at the talent section of Craigslist, I see alot of requests for blondes. The casting calls on Craigslist are mostly (not always) for adult/porn oriented shoots.
So it seems that blondes are wanted more for sexy adult work and brunettes are preferred for serious main stream commercial work.
Has anyone else noticed this? I have wondered if I change my hair color if I might get more commercial work.
So is the ditzy, sexy blonde stereotype at work here? I am curious.

I feel you on this. I'm put instantly in the commercial category and I do feel partly because of my hair (but I am shorter -only 5'8")
Recently I did a shoot and it was more editorial/ black and white/ high fashion look and all the brunettes had very edgy looks and mine if course had a glamour spin "Blake lively" look to it lol
(I'm so tired of doing glamour by now)
And yes porn. I've been asked to do a lot of (and turn down) nude/ porn/ over sexualized shots because of the blonde hair/ blue eyed look.
I feel the blonde hair=sexy is a cop out, it can def be edgy

Many feel that blonde and brunette are better suited for certain looks, historically its been that way for sure. I don't feel that it matters much but there is a "blonde hair blue eyed" bombshell thing, where the "girl next door" look is left for brunettes for example.
Mar 15 13 11:04 pm Link
I am going to keep an eye out and look at the models/actors in commercials and print ads to see if the type of roles blondes versus brunettes are put in.
This commercial for Trop 50 comes to mind. The blonde is the one who is is happy because her friends think she had work done. All of the friends are brunette. The blonde is not quite ditzy but rather shallow thinking about her looks
If this is of interest check out the commercials and print ads and see what you think.

Casting that say "no blondes" just means they dont think blonde hair fits the look theyre casting for.

Diamonds are a girls best friend but Blondes have more fun according to the lyrics. I'm an equal opportunity shooter. My fashion clients like blondes, red heads and brunettes. They tend to stay away from the bleach blondes or will advise the agency if they love the look except the hair color.

despite my neutral thoughts on natural hair colors, one does not need to go far to hear about sex appeal amplified by people that are blonde or choose to be blonde. some people automatically switch to a role once their hair is blonde. And there are also MORE than enough naturally blonde people to reinforce every stereotype of blonde people you can think of.
people that are attracted to blondes, are really attracted to blondes. you never hear "and she's bruunnnettttte" as a particularly distinctive quality about someone. although people prefer other natural hair colors, or some people look better as a whole with other hair colors, nobody really focuses on hair on those people as the sexually appealing part.
all this was meant to reveal the mystery behind all those adult castings looking for blondes.

Fair color doesn't determine a single thing aside from… well… hair color. It doesn't indicate anything about a person's talent, ability, intellect, or personality. People who try to argue differently (that blondes are dumb or that redheads are feisty) are idiots. Sorry I'm not sorry.

Thanks Jordan. I do understand that. But to me it does seem that there is a pattern of people specifically not casting blondes for parts in commercial work. I haven't seen the 'no blondes" casting calls just a few times, but many times. If it was this simple then I would see a number of no brunettes casting calls...but I don't see this. When I do see blondes requested it tends to be on things like Craigslist for adult or sexy type parts.

It just depends on what they are casting for.
I think blonde hair and blue eyes is very commercial. So much that sometime I think of blonde hair and blue eyes as being generic.
Maybe they are just looking for something else.

I do think you are right. I know people really don't think blondes are "dumm" or ditzy/dizzy but it is common enough stereotype that I do think advertisers sometimes avoid casting blondes, unless the part they are casting plays into the blonde stereotype which further perpetuates it.

Look into using Natural Instincts boxed hair dye. They have several brunette shades that are semi-permanent and won't damage your hair.
It's a short term solution to open you up to more LA casting availability.

True it is easy to change my hair color. But it is not so easy to change over my entire commercial port and re do all of those pictures with me as a brunette. Plus LA Casting charges for every picture added. I would also have to change every picture in my website. I guess it would be nice to know if it will really make a difference before going through all of the effort and expense. The thing is I may not know unless I try it. It is a catch 22 situation.

In don't usually shoot blondes for three reasons. First, blondes are a dime a dozen. Second, most of the time it's a color not found on human beings. But third and most important, most blondes I have seen have over processed their hair and it looks like straw. Dried out, no sheen, usually flies away and with no body. If you are going to color it, take care of it.

When shooting in black & white, many photographers prefer blondes because the hair can tend to have more life / contrast to it.

You state that like it is a widely accepted fact. It isn't. It's simply your observation which, in my opinion, is incorrect or lacks a broader view of the industry. Actually, that's being kind. Your observation is likely to be the opposite of the reality. Although it would be almost impossible to make a truly empirical survey, I would suspect a broad view of the models/actors actually cast in projects is statistically higher than the population by a great margin which would refute your observation.

I take all blondes seriously. Even if they dye their hair blue! ;-P

So I can only speak for myself. But were I to say 'no blondes', it would be because you're a lot more likely to get bottle blondes than actual blondes, and I don't want to see roots or super-dark eyebrows on a blonde. Ditto for redheads ... I think about half of the "redheads" I've met/photographed actually had red hair, and a lot of them didn't even have believable red hair. You see a lot of blondes or redheads, presumably who did the dye job themselves, that don't understand how colour works as applied to your hair, and don't understand that the same tone doesn't look right on everyone.
If I was a casting director, and I just wanted 'a natural girl' and I didn't care who she was of have any personal interest in the project, I'd probably ask for a brunette. You might get some dyed black brunettes, but most of the brown-haired women you get will actually have brown hair.
No, it's not fair that I'd make a blanket statement that excludes a lot of naturally coloured blondes or redheads, or those that have their colour done well. But it could save me half a day of wasted time in casting, so fairness goes right out the window.
But that's just me. Maybe these other guys really do dislike blondes, I don't know.

Of course you are free to choose the models you want to work with when it is for your own personal work. Everyone has favorite traits that they like and that is fine. As far as blondes being a dime a dozen I beg to differ. Blondes are not rare by any means but there are way more brunettes than blondes. This doesn't make one hair color better than another...that comes down to personal preference and neither choice is wrong.

I know the casting director is just going by what the directors/client's vision of the role is. My question is are the final clients/directors not wanting blondes because of the blonde stereotypes? From what I have seen "no blondes" really does seem to be a frequent pattern. No this is not 100% or the vast majority of casting calls, but it is frequent enough that I see this almost everyday.

Actually I never stated this was fact. I mentioned that this is a pattern that I have been noticing and I have posted this thread to see if other people have noticed this as well. Of course I don't see all of the casting calls in the world/US. I only see the casting calls that fit my age group in the Los Angeles Area so again this is why I brought up this post to see if other models/actors in other areas other age groups see this too.

I dont know much about the LA film market. But, I do know about the LA fashion market and as far as the major agencies are concerned, authentic real natural blondes, such as Aussie, Norwegian, Scandinavian, etc. are always in depend.
And the opposite being true of the fake, bleach blond.

I do think you are right that natural blondes would be in demand for fashion work. This is of course assuming that the blondes have the age and body stats for fashion. For the purpose of this thread I am mainly asking about the commercial market.

If you are a true Commercial Actress/Model I would have expected you to have all the hair colors available in your Portfolio.
Wigs are Cheap and not so damaging to your hair...

You bring up an interesting point, I wish it was that simple. The thing is what would a commercial model/actor put as his/her hair color in the stats section of the the casting websites? Multiple colors is not an option. For one casting call a model/actor may need to be blonde for another casting call brown hair may be needed.

I hope that's not true in most cases... But I do see what you mean. And I have experienced that feeling not only in castings but in life in general! Some people really seem to believe the "dumb blonde" stigma, or they don't get the right impression of me because of my blonde "bombshell" look, and I'm not taken seriously at times. I have considered going brunette so many times but could never bring myself to actually do it. I've been blonde my whole life!

Some blondes are and some aren't. If you run around in "Blondetourage" clicks with fake hair extensions looking for attention, taking pics of each other all day/night. No one with any sense is going to take you seriously except those GWCs and men that drool over that kind of stuff.
But I don't think hair color alone determines if you are taken seriously.
For the casting it's just they are looking for a specific type, that's what casting is for. To find the type you're looking for.
I'll cast for blondes sometimes and others brunettes or redheads.

The clothing company, I worked for did a 3 year study,
Changing models in the same clothes as modeled before.
Blonds sold the most clothes, Brunettes a little less and others not so much.
This was a international company based in Greece but with sale in US and Asia.
A similar study at Red Robin of tips - blonds, obnoxious blonds, brunettes, and glasses in that order. Glasses really killed tips.
Same girl was blond, obnoxious and brunette and then put on glasses - and a record of tips kept.

depends on where you live. My boyfriend lives in holland, and there are tons of natural blonde adults here, and not the brownish-blonde, but really light, golden, blonde. And pretty much all dutch children (unless they have foreign roots, like maroccan) are blonde. You can also find a lot more blondes in scandinavian countries. So to say that it's a color not found on human beings is incorrect.

Tips for fabulous party invitations
August 10, 2016 · Print This Article
Are you preparing to host a party? Whether it is a kid's birthday party, a graduation celebration or a milestone birthday, sending out invitations to your guests is the perfect way to add to the festive feel. At Minuteman Press Hyde Park, we pride ourselves on being experts in the fields of printing, copying and design services and if it is invitations which you are after, we are here to make your wishes come true.
What to remember when designing a party invitation
When planning an invitation for an event, there are a number of crucial factors to consider, including:
- Ensuring that the information given is correct. Remember to give all the necessary details, including RSVP instructions, dress codes, specifications regarding any gift preferences and directions to the venue.
- Choosing the right colour. The colour which you choose for your invitation sets the tone for the day. If it is a formal event, you might want to consider neutral colours, such as white, grey and beige. However, if the occasion is casual and promises to be a day of fun, such as a kid's birthday party, go for something bright, such as red or yellow.
- Choosing the right graphics. Imagery is important for invitations, in serving to add to the theme for the day. Whether it is something subtle, such as a chic image of a bird or leaf, or something playful, such as a bucket and spade, the graphics of an invitation are an important consideration.
- Adding a little something extra to match the theme. Whether it is a piece of lace or a pressed flower, attaching something tactile to an invitation is sure to create an extra special feel.
Whatever the occasion, be it personal or business related, Minuteman Press Hyde Park promises to meet all your print needs. With our wide range of products and services, where the design and production of invitations is just one of our many specialties, Minuteman Press Hyde Park wants to be your partner in print.

We are delighted to announce that Doricana Fest are partnering with Mackies of Scotland for our first festival. It's an honour to share the stage with one of Scotland's finest family businesses.

Also, they've been listening to my two albums on a non stop loop for a few weeks. The milk yield during this period of time will be noted and we shall find out if 'Country Music' (Doricana) improves milk yield in dairy cows…….watch this space!
As for tickets to Doricana:

At about 3 am I sent a text mssg to my.crush case I wanted to hear from him, abd wad pretty horny... But it was NOT a booty call.
anyways, he replied instantly something like "hey what's up? , going home, u? What you doing?" but I didn't reply cause all of my friends told me not to , so as to keep him wondering.. And I didn't do it cause I really didn't know what to say that wasn't just the "hey at a party".. I hate playing stupid games and I feel I made a stupid move
what do you think? Guys! What would you think in his position?
My problem is also that I don't want to look desperate, and I am afraid that he is replying just because he is too nice and I lent him some books so he is being polite because of that too.
Most Helpful Guy
Playing mind games on guys, although it is advertised to be effective, is a very bad idea. Because there is always a chance that the guy realizes he is being "played with". And that doesn't end well for either party involved.
Plus, if you can't get a guy to be interested in you without referring to tricks, may be he is not meant to be interested in you. May be you are really not his type.
Anyways, coming back to your main question:
Texting him at 3:00 AM implies a "need". People don't really chat at 3:00 AM unless there really is a reason for them to. BUT, it is still a good thing that you texted him. This doesn't make you seem desperate. This makes you seem "interested". There is a difference.
But not replying to his text, in my opinion, is a bad idea. First of all, it is slightly rude. Second of all, it implies hat you are "not" interested, which conflicts with texting him at 3:00 AM, leading to confusion on his side.
If I were the guy, I'd first of all be confused about receiving one message from you at 3:00 AM and then not hearing from you again that night. Then, I would say "whatever" and just forget about your text, which would place you back at square one.
My suggestion is that you create conversation. Don't text him too late at night if you don't want him to think you are too interested, but when you do, hold the conversation. That implies that you respect him, enough to care what he has to say. Plus, it reveals whether he is interested to talk to you as well.
He could reply out of politeness to a few texts, but holding a conversation for a long time is a question of actual interest, rather than politeness. And to clarify, this is not a mind game. This is a "test". There is a difference.
And even if the guy passes this test, he could be just a friend. But at least you'd know that you are not "no one" to him.
Finally, I don't know you, or this guy, as well as you do. So you should double-think about anything you read in my answer that seems unreasonable, inapplicable, or otherwise doesn't make sense according to your own judgement.
Anyway, good luck with your crush. =)10|10|0
do you think I should tell him just I wanted to see you, cause he asked what I wanted that night, and I don't want to be to forward

thanksssss for the great and large answer .

Mercurials were native to the planet Mercury.
Mercurials were tall, humanoid, and smooth and silver. Their arms ended in points and their feet ended in flat discs.
Soon after the Sunwatcher project was set up on Mercury by Earth humans, the Mercurials were attacked by "giants". One of the Mercurials was found and brought onto the base, and it tried to communicate with the humans to warn them of the threat. With the help of the Second Doctor, the Mercurials learned that the "giants" were actually the solar pylons that powered the base. (PROSE: Mercury)

jondrush wrote:I don't care about total length of road on map, why would anyone? I only care about segment count, junction complexity and naming complexity. Two-way ramps are typically the simplest regions of the ramp, straights and simple bends... Why do we care about flaky GPS on close ramps? There is only one solution to a ramp, you get on, you get off...
The "why" is that you get many of the same problems that arise when a road is too narrow to justify splitting it:
- visual clutter of parallel segments that are only a few feet apart
- the need to adjust the geometry of two segments instead of one
- recalculations when it looks like you are headed back onto the highway, resulting in URs
- GPS tracks that look like you're headed the wrong way on a one-way segment, resulting in MPs.
When we had a splitting tool I would adjust geometry once, then split. I've made a request of Waze to see if we can somewhat duplicate this functionality.
Considering how widely it was misused in Cartouche, I don't think making a "split two-way road" feature available to the WME world would be advisable, unless they figure out a way to undo it just as easily.
Every junction is a calculation that the routing server has to make. One-way to two one way is one decision. Two-way adds three decisions, at least.
The only difference in the example I provided, as far as the routing server is concerned, is the junction where the off- and on-ramps for Route 128 meet the two-way segment. Approaching that junction in either direction, only one turn is possible. So it adds the one-time fixed cost of one additional junction look-up; it does not add a new branch to the routing tree.
Also more ways for the editor to get it incorrect.
We can spend all day weighing the relative merits of storing an extra junction vs. storing two parallel sets of geometry nodes, of the possibility of an editor overlooking a turn restriction vs. the accuracy of smartphone GPS. The bottom line is, responsibility for this corner of the map tends to land on my shoulders; and I believe mapping it this way--which I find easy, reliable and effective, or I would have done it differently--is within the discretion allowed by the editing guidelines.

Configuration of a New Prostate Disease Nomogram Predicting Prostate Biopsy Outcome Correlating Clinical Indicators Among Asian Adult Males With Elevated Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)
This is a cross-sectional study prospectively collecting data from all patients who had
their first Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) prostate biopsy at the Stone and Prostate
Treatment Center of St. Luke's Medical Center-Quezon City . Data will be collected uniformly
for the purpose of building a clinical care prostate biopsy database. The indication for
prostate biopsy is either a suspicious DRE findings or elevated Prostate specific antigen
(PSA) level (>4.0ng/ml) or both. The clinical information gathered will include the 1.
Identified risk factors (age, family history, race, Body Mass Index (BMI) - kg/cm2,
prostatitis, and medications) 2. Clinical indicators of prostatic diseases (abnormal
digital rectal examination, hypoechoic lesion on transrectal ultrasound), and 3. PSA (ng/ml)
and its derivatives (age-specific PSA, PSA density, PSA velocity, Free PSA percentage).
(Refer to Data Collection Form). Basic demographic data such as patient's height and weight
will be measured using standard weight scale (Detecto 439 Mechanical Scale with Height rod,
Webb City MO, USA). A urologist member of the team will perform DIgital Rectal Exam (DRE) on
all patients before or after the TRUS. Serum free and total PSA level is measured at the
Institute of Pathology using Siemens ADVIA Centaur Free PSA and PSA (Seimens Healthcare
Diagnostics, USA) within a month prior to the prostate biopsy. Prior to prostate biopsy, the
prostate will be scanned using a biplanar 7.5 Megahertz probe (GE Medical Systems Kretz
Ultrasound, Zipf, Austria. Prostate volume is measured by a radiology technician [member of
the staff team] of the center using the transverse and sagittal planes with the standard
equation of measurement for prolate ellipsoid [width (w) x height (h) x length (l) x 0.523].
All prostate biopsy will uniformly required 12 cores (extended scheme) or more prostate
tissue strips under ultrasound guidance with Fr 18 25cm biopsy device (Bard Urological, US),
it is performed systematically to covers lateral and medial aspects of the apex, midgland
and base of the right and left prostate lobes. Two additional biopsies are obtained if the
ultrasound image or DRE findings indicate suspect areas.
All acquired specimens are placed in a formalin-filled container and sent for
histopathologic examination. All specimens are examined by at least 2 board-certified
pathologists at the Institute of Pathology to determine the presence of inflammation
(acute/chronic prostatitis), other disease entity, or carcinoma (if positive for carcinoma,
reading include grade using Gleason score, cancer length in biopsy specimen, percent of
cancer involvement. All pathologists are blinded from the clinical indicators of the
