Paper Title:
A New System for Measuring the Auto-Fluo Changes in Age-Related Macula Degeneration after Intravenous Injection of Bavecizumab Medicine
Abstract: In aged people, age-related macula degeneration is the second prevalent disease after diabetes which causes blindness. The only cure for age-related macula degeneration is the Bavecizumab intravenous medicine injection. To prove this treatment, the number of dead cells in macula area should be considered. In this paper, to obtain the number of dead cells, a novel system has been presented for measuring the existing auto fluorescence in macula area of retinal images. This combinational system is composed from three parts; pre-processing of retinal, processing the images, and understanding the images. The pre-processing level, includes eliminating margins, and reversing retina image. In processing level, the image is segmented, and features are extracted, where the segmentation has been done using techniques like morphology, dynamic thresholding and connected components. The specifications of target areas are the Euclidian distance to the center of the image, and density. In the understanding level of image, collecting the specifications of each class, macula area and the measurable parameter for evaluating the amount of auto fluorescence is obtained which is useful for determining the number of dead cells in macula area. The results are concluded using probabilistic analysis including linear regression and correlation between data. The method is tested on a database composed of 34 retina images belonging to patients of age-related macula degeneration.
Keywords: Age-related macula degeneration, Connected components, Morphology, Macula, , Retina image.

Performance Analysis of BLDC Motor Using Basic Switching Converters
Abstract: In this paper a comparative study of CSI fed BLDC motor using Boost and Buck Converter are presented. Traditionally BLDC motor drives are fed by Voltage Source Inverters (VSI). Current Source Inverters (CSI) on the other hand does not require the huge DC link capacitor thereby reducing the cost and losses in the system. The large value of the inductor can be replaced using suitable Boost and Buck converter. In this paper a basic structure of a DC boost converter and a basic structure of a DC buck converter are proposed in PSIM to provide the nominal power to BLDC motor from a fixed DC source and to control the speed of the system. The effectiveness of proposed system is validated by simulation results.

Energy Efficiency Improvement in Thermal Power Plants
Abstract: The purpose of the study outlined in this is to identify major energy loss areas in Zimbabwe's thermal power stations and develop a plan to reduce them using energy and exergy analysis as the tools. The energy supply to demand is narrowing down day by day around the world due to the growing demand and sometimes due to ageing of machinery. Most of the power plants are designed by the energetic performance criteria based not only on the first law of thermodynamics , but the real useful energy loss cannot be justified by the fist law of thermodynamics, because it does not differentiate between the quality and quantity of energy. The present study deals with the comparison of energy and exergy analysis of thermal power plants stimulated by coal. Our national electricity requirement is about 2100MW against 1615MW supply; this is evident of about 21% deficit in terms of power requirements. In view of this situation, the project seeks to increase output from the Power Stations (PS) in the process closing down on the power shortages now and in the future through effective and efficiency improvement.

A New Method of Image Compression Using Multi wavelet Technique with MFHWT and ROI in SPIHT
Abstract: In medical field the images produce by the modality is in the form of large file, in order to get the opinion from other doctors images are send using electronic media. As the file of images is very large to send, we require to have compression for images but with compression there is loss of information in the image. To minimize the loss and to increase the quality of image and requires compression is also to be done, wavelet transformation technology plays a vital role. So, in this paper we consider that multi wavelet with Region of Interest (ROI) selecting portion will not only give the quality but also reduce the loss of information from image. And we are going to implement the multi wavelet transformation with Modified Fast Haar Wavelet Transform (MFHWT) in Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees algorithm.

An Efficient Technique of Multimodality Medical Image Fusion using Improved Contourlet Transformation
Abstract: In medical field to diagnosis the disease an advance technology is used that is multimodality images. To find best diagnosis for a particular disease we perform image fusion. Major issue in multimodality medical image fusion is how to fuse two or more images of different modalities, so that we get more accurate information. To perform efficient fusion contourlet transformation gives the up to mark results. So, In this paper, we propose an improved contourlet transformation, in which we are using multi scale decomposition and considering that DFBs can be modified with Log Gabor Filter in place of low pass and high pass filter. Log Gabor filter localizes an image more accurately and also minimizes the DC Component (noise in image) with which we are improving the quality of fused image. In this paper, we are considering Registered Medical Images. Performance of proposed method is evaluated by five qualities.

Challenges Faced by Manufacturing Companies in Sustaining Conformance to ISO9001:2008 in Zimbabwe: A Case Study of a Textiles Manufacturing Company
Abstract: Development of the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System (QMS) has seen many companies willing to implement it and get certification so as to improve quality delivery. Due to the globalization phenomenon, certification to ISO9001 becomes a prerequisite. Many manufacturing companies in Zimbabwe have been certified in a quest to improve their quality delivery. The main certification body in Zimbabwe is the Standards Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ). This paper is based on a case study research for KT Textiles and it assesses the challenges that one certified manufacturing company is facing in a bid to sustain conformance to the ISO 9001: 2008QMS. Questionnaires and Interviews were the main research instruments used in the study. There was also reference to archival records and minutes of important meetings from the organization. Using stratified random sampling, questionnaires were administered to both managers and employees drawn from different departments. Employees were also interviewed to provide further information to compliment the questionnaire data. The data was analyzed using statistical graphs and charts. This research identified how the organization applies the 8 principles of ISO 9001:2008 QMS. The research findings revealed that the main challenges faced by the firm in maintaining the QMS are lack of top management involvement and support, lack of employee creativity and innovation, lack of focused internal audits, preventive maintenance schedule and data analysis lack priority.

Modal Analysis of Porosity Defects in High Pressure Die Casting with a Neural Network
Abstract: High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) is a complex process that results in casting defects if configured improperly. However, finding out the optimal configuration is a non -trivial task as eliminating one of the casting defects (for example, porosity) can result in occurrence of other casting defects. The industry generally tries to eliminate the defects by trial and error which is an expensive and error -prone process. This paper aims to improve current modelling and understanding of defects formation in HPDC machines. We have conducted conventional die casting tests with a neural network model of HPDC machine and compared the obtained results with the current understanding of formation of porosity. While most of our findings correspond well to established knowledge in the field, some of our findings are in conflict with the previous studies of die casting.

E-Learning Objectives, Methodologies, Tools and its Limitation
Abstract: E-Learning is the use of technology to enable people to learn anytime and anywhere. E-Learning can include training, the delivery of just-in-time information and guidance from experts. It has become an increasingly popular learning approach in higher educational institutions due to the rapid growth of Internet technologies. E-Learning allows users to fruitfully gather knowledge and education both by synchronous and asynchronous methodologies to effectively face the need to rapidly acquire up to date know-how within productive environments. There is also present various limitations in E-Learning. This review work discusses on various E-Learning Objectives, methodologies and tools and limitation of E-Learning. The main focus of e-learning methodologies is on both asynchronous and synchronous methodology. The paper looked into the three major e-learning tools .The paper also looked E-Learning limitation in particular related with technologies, personal issues, comparison with traditional campus learning, design issues, and other issues .Finally the paper suggests that synchronous tools should be integrated into asynchronous environments to allow for "any-time" learning model and also given a remark that E-Learning needs to improve from various barriers.

World Class Manufacturing status Assessment for a Margarine Producing Company in Zimbabwe
Abstract: The world has become global in the way goods and services are produced and marketed. The stiff global competition faced by these companies necessitates a need to embark on radical strategies in the form of World Class manufacturing philosophies to survive, make profit and remain competitive. While companies in developing countries strive to adopt these World Class Manufacturing (WCM) philosophies into their production process, there is often lack of a measure on their progress towards world class manufacturing status besides the improvement in productivity. This paper's focus is on how companies can assess their progress in terms of achieving a world class manufacturing status. The research starts with an assessment of the world class status of the company that has adopted best manufacturing practices. A Current State Radar Chart (CSRC) is drawn to see the company's position on the radar. Researches methods (questionnaires, interviews, company audit) are used to identify wastes according to WCM. WCM techniques were used to minimise wastes. A Future State Radar Chart (FSRC) is drawn to assess the improvements made. The company was operating its margarine production process at 35% of a world class process. The major waste identified was the downtime. Downtime contributed to 74% of the total available time leaving production only 26% of the available time. WCM techniques realised a reduction in downtime by 30% and increased the available time for production to 56%. These changes achieved a 56% of a world class process on the FRC drawn.

Prioritizing SCM for Managing Inconsistency in Distributed Software Project Development
Abstract: The evolution of software engineering has been constant over the past four decades. Some major technological discontinuities, however, can be identified in this progress, which caused a more radical rethinking of the previous established approaches. This, in turn, generated research for new methods, techniques and tools to properly deal with the new challenges. Distributed Software Development (DSD) has recently evolved, resulting in an increase in the available literature. Organizations now have a tendency to make greater development efforts in more attractive zones. The main advantage of this lies in a greater availability of human resources in decentralized zones at less cost. There are, however, some disadvantages which are caused by the distance that separates the development teams. Coordination and communication become more difficult as the software components are sourced from different places, thus affecting project organization, project control, and product quality. New processes and tools are consequently necessary. This paper highlights the software engineering process for distributed software development and related topics in coordination of projects and project artifacts. Different configuration management systems (CMS) approaches and techniques are discussed; these include client-server, k-mutual exclusion, and distributed configuration management systems. New trends in CMS technologies and approaches are also outlined here. Some major areas are addressed in this paper like: how does CMS enable collaborative work; information exchange among clients at different geographical areas and the knowledge management across distributed clients.

Performance Analysis of Two Mono Leaf Spring Used For Maruti 800 Vehicle
Abstract: In this paper we look on the suitability of composite leaf spring on vehicles and their advantages. Efforts have been made to reduce the cost of composite leaf spring to that of steel leaf spring. The achievement of weight reduction with adequate improvement of mechanical properties has made composite a very replacement material for convectional steel. Material and manufacturing process are selected upon on the cost and strength factor. The design method is selected on the basis of mass production. From the comparative study, it is seen that the composite leaf spring are higher and more economical than convectional leaf spring. After prolonged use of conventional metal Coil Spring, its strength reduces and vehicle starts running back side down and also hits on the bump stoppers (i.e. Chassis). This problem is entirely removed by our special purpose Composite leaf Springs.

Pixel Value Differencing Image Steganography Using Secret Key
Abstract: In this paper, secure steganography is used to obtain high capacity of image for data hiding. Both color and gray scale images have been used as cover file for PVD method. Then a secret key is used to control the message embedding process. To estimate how many secret bits will be embedded into the pixel, largest difference value between the other three pixels close to the target pixel is used. This makes edge areas of image to be used for higher embedding capacity. In order to avoid the need of a copy of cover file at receiver, size of message file is also embedded in stego file. Thus only stego-image is required at receiver. Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) is used to measure the quality of stego images.

Network Lifetime Extension by DSR Modification in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Abstract: Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is self-organizing and self-configuring network that provides mobile users with communication facility and information access regardless of location and any centralized control. The most important characteristic of such networks is the independence of any fixed infrastructure. Therefore, it can be rapid and easily deployed. The typical application of Ad Hoc networks includes battle field communication, emergency relief, information sharing at conference or classroom etc. Routing is one of the important issues in MANETs due to their highly dynamic and distributed nature. Also nodes in MANET are usually battery powered. Draining out of a node can partition the network and result into reduced packet delivery and network lifetime. In this paper one of the existing protocols is selected and modified to make it energy efficient. The modified algorithm tries to increase network lifetime by implementing few modifications to basic DSR protocol. Remaining node energy is used to implement energy conservation. It is observed from the simulations that this algorithm improves network lifetime of MANETs.

That is so nice! enjoy it! what are you going to do with your down time?
lol well I'm on moms.com and facebook and I have the kettle boiling to have a nice cup of tea and some cookies. Enjoying the reprieve while I can as my poor little fellow is teething and even tylenol and homeopathic teething gel is not helping him much. finally managed to get him to sleep after a good 20 minutes of crying.
that is nice. Have you tried teething tablets or tylenol?
I ordered teething tablets and have them coming. I have tried tylenol and teething gel, a teething ring from the fridge, a cloth what was wet and put in the fridge, a bottle with some ice cold water in it and lots of different things.
Hoping the teething tablets do the trick tomorrow when I get them.

Asus's ultrabook entry was a major attraction of the IFA event at Berlin. The new UX21 is an 11.6 inch machine with a pure aluminum build. There is a rumor about an updated version of the Asus ultra book assumed to be called as the UX31. It would be as thin as UX21 with 0.67 inch and is expected to have an identical configuration of 2nd generation Corei7, i5 processors. The notebook would also feature a 2 second sleep resume along with its 10 days of standby. It would be a lighter design weighing just 2.9 pounds.
The UX21 and UX31 are expected to have its launch in September this year. The launch of the two editions of the Asus in September suggests market dominance by the MacBook Air. The full specification of the Asus ultra books is not completely known but there are reports from resources that the unit would consist of an Intel Core i5 and i7 processors with at least a 2 GB of DDR3 memory. It would also consist of a 64 or 128 GB SSD and also a USB 3.0 for synchronizing the unit with other supported external hard wares. The ultrabook weighs just a 1 KG, its major advantage.
The success in the market for Ultrabooks however depends on the affordability of the unit. It has been already promised by the company that the ultrabook will be tagged with affordable price in India keeping it below $1000 (Rs 45,000). To fulfill the promise it's geared with Sandy Bridge Core processors and it is expected to come with heavy discount offers from the manufacturers. Intel is planning to achieve a market share of up to 40% for all the costs of all its notebooks by the end of the year 2012.

"excellent care today, the staff deserve you to..."
About: Royal Oldham Hospital Royal Oldham Hospital Oldham OL1 2JH
Posted by Anonymous
What I liked
The Victoria Unit, which I visited today, looked after me brilliantly and all the staff were friendly , compassionate and helpful. The outside area was a lovely place to sit while waiting and much appreciated. Overall it was as painless as such a day could possibly have been.
What could be improved
Your staff were let down by the system that sends letters out to patients. Mine had no mention of what the appointment was actually for and as I have had several recent referrals I had to ring to check. Also I was not told the appointment would take all day. I pity people who had had to take time off work or had other sommitments! The staff were at pains to apologise but it was not their fault! You need to sort out the red tape and make sure relevant info is included, it's only fair when your frontline staff are working so hard.
Response from Royal Oldham Hospital 4 years ago
We are pleased you found the staff friendly and helpful on your visit to the Victoria Unit at the Royal Oldham Hospital.
We are sorry to hear you were not told your appointment would be a long one.
We will forward your comments to the department manager for her to address your concerns.

Spring is in the air! Easter eggs galore!
Spring break was last week and we had maybe ONE and a half days with Spring-like weather! So, Autumn is quite the artist and she has been B.E.G.G.I.N.G. me every hour... ok, every minute... to dye eggs! Sooo... since I love to dye eggs out on the patio, I said we could do it if it got warm enough. Which it did... so, HERE are the kids with their big bowl of eggs!
Autumn helped me set up the table outside and it turned out really cute... it was a little windy out that day, so we did need to weight a few things down... but, it worked out really well!
And let the dying begin! They both had their own sets of dye, so they didn't need to share... which worked out perfectly.
Nathan at work.
Autumn at work
Here is another one of Autumn, isn't this the most colorful photo ever? I love!
Nathan showing off some of his finished eggs... I love how his 'jack o lantern' look is starting to fill in some... he really lost a lot of teeth right after Christmas!
Autumn took forever to dye all of her eggs and Nathan was much quicker... I think due to him being a couple years older. Nathan loved turning all of his eggs into Ninja turtles, so that sort of evened out the time... while she was still dying, he was working with stickers.
Every so often, Autumn would just randomly throw one of her eggs out into the yard... she'd tell us that it was an 'ugly' egg and she didn't like its color. Nathan would then run out and take it, even though it was cracked! lol! These kids crack me up!
My favorite egg that Autumn did... she used a wax crayon and wrote her name and it is so dainty and small. I had no idea she could even write this small. Oh, I just want to keep this egg forever. :)
After they dyed their eggs, I got a photo of them with the eggs under the tulip tree.
All of Nathan's ninjas
Autumn and her eggs... poor girl didn't have as many as Nathan, because he dyed them faster before I realized it AND she threw several in the yard, because she didn't like their color. lol. But, she was proud of her eggs!
After the eggs had dried, I told the kids to wait in the house and I hid all of their eggs in the back yard. Then, I let them search for them. Ohhh, did they have fun. :)
Both of them looking for eggs
Except... Nathan thought it'd be funny to throw one of Autumn's eggs at her and it hit her on the back of her shirt. And... it just so happened to be her most favorite pink egg and it was now cracked. Oh did the tears fly. Don't worry, we made her a new pink egg inside... I had an extra pink dye tablet leftover from a previous year. Oh, bless her heart. :)
Fortunately, Nathan's most favorite egg did not get cracked or damaged during the egg hunt.
Nathan counting all of the eggs he collected. What a fun day that was... I wish the warm temps would have stayed as it SNOWED today! Ugh!
If you follow me on Instragram, you saw that I went to Hobby Lobby this week and found the most darling ceramic egg holder. I hope to display a few of their eggs that they dyed in this until Easter. Oh, do I love HobLobs! Stay tuned for some Easter and Spring crafts coming your way on the blog soon! Happy Spring!

Converting a carport to a fully enclosed structure requires good design for curbside appeal. To create a neat enclosure, use materials that harmonize with the house, especially if the carport is connected to the house or close by. Your goal is to construct the enclosure as a garage space with a movable front door on tracking that lifts with a garage-door opener system. Build the roof line of the enclosed carport to look original to the house construction. Use roofing materials, overhangs and paint colors that complement the house, too.
Things You'll Need
- Concrete
- Rebar
- Plywood sheathing
- Asphalt shingles
- 2-by-6-inch boards
- Garage main door
- Walkout exterior door
- Nails
- Roofing felt
- Metal roofing
- Garage door tracking
- House siding
- Automatic garage door opener
- Electric wiring
- Drywall
- Epoxy paint
Examine the carport foundation carefully to ensure there is no cracking. Ask a concrete mason to offer advice if you're unsure whether the concrete foundation is thick enough to support new framework, house siding and the garage door. Add 4 inches of concrete reinforced with rebar, if necessary. Be sure to remove old concrete completely to pour a new floor if the old floor has serious cracks and gaps.
Check the structural strength of the existing carport framing. Figure out if roof rafters are installed on the recommended 16-inch centers, so you can install plywood sheathing and asphalt shingles, for example. Work on enclosing the wall framing first, however, because wall framing must fully support all roof weight.
Cut and install wall studs from 2-by-6-inch boards around the enclosure, leaving the main garage door opening and an opening for a walk-out door as well. Install 2-by-6-inch framing boards for the enclosure framework, versus smaller 2-by-4-inch boards, to accommodate door weight and any siding on the structure. Construct the main door opening and side door opening by nailing king studs from the top plate to bottom plate to define the door width. Cut a header board to fit across the top edge of the roll-up door and walkout door.
Frame any planned windows by cutting king studs from 2-by-6-inch boards as well. Cut and nail into place headers to fit across the top of the windows.
Cut additional rafters, if needed, to strengthen the carport framing for the enclosure. Nail ½-inch plywood sheathing over the roof of the building. Enclose the roof overhangs to match the house overhangs, so the new enclosure looks original to the house construction. Cover the sheathing with roofing felt and install asphalt shingles or metal roofing, as possible choices.
Install the garage doors and windows before nailing house siding on the exterior. Screw the garage door tracking to attic framework with 4-inch screws, following the manufacturer's instructions. Ask an expert to help you install the garage door tracking because any margins can cause the garage door to slip off tracking and fall, possibly injuring or killing someone. Cover the new building enclosure with tongue-and-groove boards, siding made from cement fibers or vinyl siding. Add door and window facings and trim as needed before staining or painting the structure.
Install the automatic garage door opener after you have added any interior finishing. Run wiring for the automatic opener through the attic of the space before nailing sheets of drywall in the ceiling area. Install drywall on walls of the structure, if you desire, and paint the concrete floor with epoxy paint.

So for newtrunk I applied a similar patch to speed up Solr's tests. You can see it here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=926470&view=rev In this case the output is not interleaved because it uses a special formatter. So it basically looks just like you are not using parallel at all. Additionally -Dtestpackage, -Dtestpackageroot, -Dtestcase all work, the former two are also parallelized. So, I propose we do the same thing for Lucene tests. Solr was simple because it does not have these junit failed flag files. I propose we just remove these, like how Solr does contrib.

Suppose that the following data are available on commercials' effectiveness and these variables, all on appropriate scales.
View Solution:
Is there a regression relation here between commercial effectiveness and any of the independent variables? Explain.
View Solution:
Answer to relevant QuestionsThe following data are the asking price and other variables for condominiums in a small town. Try to construct a prediction equation for the asking price based on any of or all the other reported variables. Can you judge how well a regression model fits the data by considering the mean square error only? Explain. A study of Dutch tourism behavior included a regression analysis using a sample of 713 respondents. The dependent variable, number of miles traveled on vacation, was regressed on the independent variables, family size and ...A computer program for regression analysis produces a joint confidence region for the two slope parameters considered in the regression equation, β1 and β2.

Singapore lost but can still sing Chinese anthem
Singapore lost, it was a good match considering that it sort of lasted quite long. Comparatively to Hong Kong's match, it is already very good. Singapore's table tennis team got a silver this time. This is also the first medal awarded to Singapore since our independence.
It's a good year after all. This could well increase Olympics awareness in Singapore. It's a little unfortunate that the table tennis team did not comprise of – ahem – too many Singapore natives. At least I can see Li Jiawei singing the Chinese national anthem too.
I guess that ends our Beijing Olympics quest for medals. I look forward to four years later.

I never get asked on dates!
Sometimes I will sleep with them (and they do come back for more), sometimes I will just kiss them and nothing more, but either way they don't ask me out.
I'm not considered dumb or annoying (though dumb annoying girls get dates!)
What might I be doing wrong?
A lot of people have said don't sleep with them - I don't sleep with every guy I meet!
Could I be giving off wrong vibes?
I am considered sexy/attractive, and have been told this makes me hard to approach.Should I dress more girlie and less sexy, even if its not "me"?
I am very well educated and travelled etc - could this be intimidating?
Most Helpful Guy
Every girl deals with this. The difference is that many (most?) girls don't have sex outside of relationships, so most of these guys will find that out, lose interest, and move on.
A lot of guys have figured out that women want male attention enough that many of them will agree to sex outside of a relationship if the guy makes it clear that's the only way he'll give her attention, even though the girls really want a relationship. But by doing this, they give the guys all the power, and none of the responsibility. Guys get the sex they want, but without having any limits or responsibilities that normally come with a relationship. So, why would they WANT a relationship?
The answer is that many guys still DO want a relationship, but they are outnumbered by the ones who don't. And the ones who don't are made up of the most attractive/confident/popular guys, because they're the ones who can use those attributes to get easy sex from girls without any commitment.
As a girl, what you need to be able to do is quickly determine what a guy is really looking for, and if that isn't a relationship, you need to dump them and move on. Yes, that means you'll be dumping a lot of guys, and a lot of them are going to be attractive guys that you'd really like to date. Do it anyway. If you get weak and give in, you'll get a reputation as "easy prey" and other guys will try to get the same thing from you.
You have to be willing to let guys go, even attractive ones, and focus only on those willing to be in a relationship with you. If all girls did that, guys would quickly rethink their "no relationship policy", but with so many girls giving up easy sex, guys have gotten used to getting away with it.74|32|0

It's a terrible shame that this was very good advice.
Third paragraph hit the nail on the head..
Most Helpful Girl
I can tell you this from my personal experience. I have been in the same shoes as you for a while. The reason guys only see a hook-up in you is that they get intimidated or blinded by your gorgeous physical appearance at the first sight. This automatically puts you in the category of women who have good looks (vs. intelligence) as one of their main attributes. And chances are, if you say "no" to sex and guys still don't ask you out, sex is all they wanted from you from the start and the very reason they approached you. I am not saying all hopes are lost that someone will show up and express a completely different kind of interest in you. It will just take a while. 99% of guys have no fear when it comes to complimenting you on your looks by showing their physical attraction to you. But, it will take some time and waiting for that 1% to come up to you as well and ask for something different. I myself look sexy, attractive and get hit on a lot every time I go out. Does it matter to me whether someone wants to date me or not? Not at all. I do not say "yes" to hook-ups, but the attention I get from guys does boost my ego. I am happy with the way I am, regardless of what it is that guys want from me. Know your worth deep inside and keep your head up high, gorgeous! Eventually, you will meet someone who will know it, too...11|00|0

Birmingham Quartet Share New Track on Huw Stephen's Radio 1 Show
Following smartly on their success of their debut LP Be Slowly, JAWS have shared their dirtier and grungier new standalone single 'Bad Company' via Huw Stephen's Radio 1 show. That isn't to mean that they've abandoned their way with a pop melody, though. The track is simply of a more roiling, pounding, and less sunny disposition than what we are usually accustomed to from the group. The band will be self releasing the track on June 8th, and you can catch them playing it live all over England this summer at a plethora of festivals.

It is often assumed that mechanical factors are important for effects of exercise on muscle, but during voluntary training and most experimental conditions the effects could solely be attributed to differences in electrical activity, and direct evidence for a mechanosensory pathway has been scarce. We here show that, in rat muscles stimulated in vivo under deep anesthesia with identical electrical activity patterns, isometric contractions induced twofold more hypertrophy than contractions with 50–60% of the isometric force. The number of myonuclei and the RNA levels of myogenin and myogenic regulatory factor 4 were increased with high load, suggesting that activation of satellite cells is mechano dependent. On the other hand, training induced a major shift in fiber type distribution from type 2b to 2x that was load independent, indicating that the electrical signaling rather than mechanosignaling controls fiber type. RAC-α serine/threonine-protein kinase (Akt) and ribosomal protein S6 kinase β-1 (S6K1) were not significantly differentially activated by load, suggesting that the differences in mechanical factors were not important for activating the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin/S6K1 pathway. The transmembrane molecule syndecan-4 implied in overload hypertrophy in cardiac muscle was not load dependent, suggesting that mechanosignaling in skeletal muscle is different.

I would. I can only connect with people who are older than me so..00|00|0
Yeah you'd probably be very mature and intelligent for your age.
- Show AllShow Less
Highly intelligent? You sound very cocky there. I wouldn't say im highly intelligent but I am way more matured than people my age. Nah, not all. Some of my sisters friends are pretty cool tbh.
Well I say highly because everyone is intelligent but some are more so than others. There's no such thing as stupid people.

It has been widely acknowledged that blockchain offers an opportunity to reduce costs, to improve efficiency, to reduce risks and, overall, to provide a better customer service, which ultimately is what financial services need to be all about. One of the main challenges in the UK financial world, though, is how to integrate blockchain into the existing financial system, particularly the infrastructure that underpins the workings of the financial system.
This event will address blockchain technology from the user-led point of view and analyse its potential for the financial services industry – particularly its infrastructure – in the UK and beyond. It will explore how the qualities of this new technology will change the face of business for financial services institutions and what the opportunities for development and new business will be.

text: Packet Drop Attack Detection Techniques in Wireless Ad hoc Networks: A ReviewKennedy Edemacu, Martin Euku, Richard SsekibuuleArXiv2014Wireless ad hoc networks have gained lots of attention due to their ease and low cost of deployment. This has made ad hoc networks of great importance in numerous military and civilian applications. But, the lack of centralized management of these networks makes them vulnerable to a number of security attacks. One of the attacks is packet drop attack, where… (More)

Can I display received form answers on a website?Asked by leebar on June 24, 2015 at 01:26 PM
Can I put a comment form on my site?
I am contemplating building a site that needs a form for people who want to add a comment about their service experience, for instance, or a testimonial if you will. Is that available to me if I'm using your free service. Possibly similar to the screenshot I've attached that comes from a site I saw on the internet.
