Any argument for the existence of an infinitely-intelligent, creator god, is illogical I’m going to make simple arguments to begin. Any justification for the existence of an infinitely-intelligent, creator god must have the following two components: He is infinitely-intelligent He is omnipotent To say that god does not have any of these, or even to say that he only has one, is to suggest that god is not a god, but rather some kind of restricted or limited entity. Something cannot be so complicated that it had to be designed. Complexity, as a product of understanding, arises when something needs to be complex. For example, a television set is not complicated for any other reason than because it has to be. If that particular television set was not as complicated, then it would either work sub-optimally or not at all. Hence, the television set is as complicated as it has to be – it does not make sense to say that something is so complex that it had to be designed. Things that are unnecessarily complex show a lack of understanding Comparatively, a television set can be more complicated than it needs to be, but this would indicate a product that lacks understanding. If the television set were to have extra wires that did not impede nor benefit the system, then you could say that the designer of the television set did not fully understand what was required. The goal of intelligence is to strive for simplicity, and making things unnecessarily complex does the exact opposite. To say that the universe is ‘finely tuned’ is to say that the creator god is not omnipotent If the universe is finely tuned, then it would imply that god doesn’t have any control over aspects of our reality, otherwise he wouldn’t have to tune in the first place. The fact that he can ‘play the universe out of tune’ suggests that he can create a flawed universe, of which he does not want (hence the tuning). This is not to mention how silly it is that god has to make up for his mistakes when he sets the rules in the first place. To say that the universe is finely tuned is to contradict the nature of the creator god. Something cannot be conscious without demonstrating intelligence I think this is fairly self-evident, but I will address any objections should my opponent make them. It is not possible to demonstrate infinite intelligence and infinite power at the same time In order for god to demonstrate infinite intelligence, he would have to limit himself to a test of some kind. When no limits are available and no goals are known, unintelligent actions are indistinguishable from intelligent ones. So, god must limit himself and set knowable goals in order to show that he is infinitely-intelligent (or else give us some kind of alternative way of measuring intelligence, of which he has yet to give us). However, in limiting himself to testing conditions, he, at the very least, hides his omnipotence – you cannot play a game of chess in order to show how smart you are, without first limiting yourself to the rules. And thus, it can be written as so: Demonstrations of omnipotence require the absence of limitations Demonstrations of consciousness require demonstrations of intelligence Demonstrations of intelligence require the presence of limitations Conclusion Evidence for god, via complexity, indicates nothing. Intelligence (limited) and Omnipotence (unlimited) are mutually exclusive, and such a creator god could only ever appear be contradictory in nature. Thus, any attempt at arguing for an infinitely-intelligent, creator god is illogical.

A common symbol in modern weddings it the image of knot. The phrase "tie the knot" as a euphemism for marriage that is also commonly recognized. Where does this originate from? | cqadupstack-english |
The automatic detection of objects within complex volumetric imagery is becoming of increased interest due to the use of dual energy Computed Tomography (CT) scanners as an aviation security deterrent. These devices produce a volumetric image akin to that encountered in prior medical CT work but in this case we are dealing with a complex multi-object volumetric environment including significant noise artefacts. In this work we look at the application of the recent extension to the seminal SIFT approach to the 3D volumetric recognition of rigid objects within this complex volumetric environment. A detailed overview of the approach and results when applied to a set of exemplar CT volumetric imagery is presented. | scidocs |
In 2006 the IAU deemed that Pluto was no longer a planet because it fails to "clear" the neighborhood around its Kuiper Belt orbit. Presumably, this is because Pluto (1.305E22 kg) has insufficient mass to do the job. How massive must a body in Pluto's orbit (semi-major axis 39.5 AU) be to "clear" its orbit? Would Mars (6.24E23 kg) or Earth (5.97E24 kg) be declared planets if they were in Pluto's orbit? | cqadupstack-physics |

I don't think that every teacher in schools should have guns, but some should. Also none of them should be forced to carry a gun. If indded they want to have a gun in their class they should have to have a mental eval than have training. They gun should be kept in a safe place where none of the kids know where its is and can't get to it. So yes I do think some of the teachers should have a gun it could save someone's life if not many. | webis-touche2020 |

I defined a function in _Mathematica_ to process a pre-generated string. More specifically, I'd like to process some parts of C codes generated from MMA. Basically what my function does is to expand the `pow` function in C, so it involves finding a string pattern and replacing it. I know using MMA is not the best way to solve this problem, but unfortunately the language I'm most familiar with is MMA...Anyway, here's my function: ExpandPowInCode[code_] := StringReplace[code, Shortest["pow(" ~~ x__ ~~ "," ~~ y__ ~~ ")"] -> If[StringMatchQ[x, ___ ~~ "+" ~~ __] || StringMatchQ[x, ___ ~~ "-" ~~ __], Nest[StringJoin["(" <> ToString[x] <> ")", "*" ~~ #] &, "(" <> ToString[x] <> ")", ToExpression[y, InputForm] - 1], Nest[StringJoin[x, "*" ~~ #] &, x, ToExpression[y, InputForm] - 1]]] It works as I expected, namely expanding , for example, `"pow(x,2)"` into `"x*x"`. The `If` condition will help when dealing with plus/minus sign in the first argument of `pow`. For example, ExpandPowInCode["pow(a x+b,3)"] > `"(a x+b)*(a x+b)*(a x+b)"` However, at the first time I executed `ExpandPowInCode`, I always got the following error messages: > `StringMatchQ::strse: String or list of strings expected at position 1 in > StringMatchQ[x,___~~+~~__]. >>` > > `StringMatchQ::strse: String or list of strings expected at position 1 in > StringMatchQ[x,___~~-~~__]. >>` Although `ExpandPowInCode` still gave me the correct result, the appearance of error messages was really annoying...Moreover, when I executed the function again later, the error messages no longer appeared as if everything were correct. Has anyone ever met this odd situation? | cqadupstack-mathematica |
I agree that LGBT epole should have the right to partnership and the same rights as heterosexuals. You still have not stated: Why should the government control marriage? Marriage is a bond between two people. For many it is a religious institution, and for others it is not. Marriage should not be a legal contract the way it is now. If LGBT people want to live together, they can. Government should not be able to recognize any marriage, they should stay out of it. Without government in marriage, Civil Unions is useless. Good day. | webis-touche2020 |

I am classifying some political articles by their bias w.r.t. a particular issue into 5 categories ( _strongly in favour, mildly in favour, neutral, mildly against, strongly against_ ). For most cases, the classification is quite simple, but I want some form of validation to be able to make sure that other subjects would classify the articles almost in the same way. As I have about 2,000 articles and no funding, I can't really ask other people to classify the entire dataset. An idea would consist of extracting a random sample and make other people classify the sample, and then look at the inter-subject agreement. If this approach makes sense, how do I determine a suitable sample size for this kind of validation w.r.t. to an error (e.g. 1%)? Cheers, Mulone | cqadupstack-stats |
I had create a custom field "date" with this format 16/09/2013 (d/m/Y). How can i compare date and show only post with date from today ? This is my query that don't work !! $args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 100, 'meta_key' => 'date', 'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'order' => 'ASC', 'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => 'city', 'value' => 'London', 'compare' => 'LIKE' ), array( 'key' => 'date', 'value' => date("Y/m/d"), 'compare' => '>=', 'type' => 'DATE' ), ) ); | cqadupstack-wordpress |
I am trying to create a WordPress website where a user can post a car that he is trying to sell with contact details for it. I have most of the things figured out about how this website will work. My only problem is creating a search form for it. I would like the search form to contain two `<select>` boxes. The first one should have a list of all the cars and the second one a list of all the models. When the user selects a car from the first box, the second box should dynamically generate a list of model cars. I do not know if this is even possible in WordPress. I could not find any resources about this. Is there any way to achieve this? I am not looking for exact code but some directions on this if there are any. | cqadupstack-wordpress |
Freedom "These principles are ingrained in American culture as the unalienable rights that all people are entitled to, & that all threats to those rights are, by nature, not in the best nature of the US. In fact, these are such American ideals that they're represented in the constitution by the Due Process clause in the constitution, meaning that everyone has these unalienable rights unless proven guilty of a crime worthy of having those rights taken away, & the 14th amendment which repeated the fact that everyone is equal under the law & has the right to life, liberty, & property. " That is essentially my argument based on the rights of the people. Americans have a right to life, liberty, & property + pursuit of happiness. The government is constructed & its purpose is to protect those rights, among them, the 2nd amendment. Americans have a right to use their property, in this case guns, to protect their life, liberties, property, & pursuit of happiness. It is estimated that 1/3 to even 1/2 of the population own guns, that is 100-150 million people. [1] There is around 33,600 deaths by guns annually, includes accident, negligent, murder, & suicides. [2] That means that .0003% of the population did something resulting in a life taken, that also means that 99.9997% was accident free, no suicide or homicides. Legally, the other 99-149 million+ gun owners shall be free & the government has 0 reason to attempt to deny them of that right based on due process. Cause they have not committed a crime to warrant an arrest, placed on trail, & certainly not found guilty of trail by a jury of their peers. Furthermore, 90% of the people oppose a complete ban and confiscation. [3] So, from a legal & a freedom aspect, there should not be a gun ban. Gun bans don't work Comparing pre & post gun ban crime rates for the UK, Ireland, Jamaica, & Australia, it tells you that the murder rates increased or was similar to pre gun ban. [4] [5] However, other crimes did indeed increase, the UK is considered the most dangerous nation in Europe, worse than the US & South Africa. [6] However, there is a law in Kennesaw GA, that requires heads of households to own a gun & crime rates have decreased, resulting in a murder free environment for 25 years, despite predictions that that American county would become the wild west. [7] Whereas, other counties enacting opposite laws have seen increases in crime rates. [8] Lets look at the most painfully obvious proof that gun ban doesn't work... At our schools. The law abiding Americans accept this obviously proven mistake at great cost to, as you said, America's future. Instead of allowing responsible people, I'm sure we agree that most teachers are responsible, whom owns a firearm to conceal carry, or the principle, or someone there to have access to their gun to defend the school against a potential intruders. Defense There are a multitude of potential threats the American people face. Animal attacks in the 100s of 1000s for just dogs [9], criminals, invasion, & tyrannical government. These threats are real, a ban & confiscation of firearms would result in much larger number of potential fatalities against animals, criminals would be embolden by their victims reduced chances, invasion of the United States could forget about strategic planning for the stiff resistance of the American people thanks to a ban, & the people would be forced to live under a government that controls the monopoly of force which is a very dangerous gamble to take. A famous quote comes to mind when I write this, "Those that give up liberty for temporary safety will lose both & deserve neither" Now for a comparison between legal defense gun uses vs illegal gun uses in crime. " A 1995 study in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology based upon a 1993 nationwide survey of 4,977 households found that over the previous five years, at least 0.5% of households had members who had used a gun for defense during a situation in which they thought someone "almost certainly would have been killed" if they "had not used a gun for protection." Applied to the U.S. population, this amounts to 162,000 such incidents per year. This figure excludes all "military service, police work, or work as a security guard. " [10] The estimated number of times guns are used in defense against a criminal range in the low 100,000-millions. Report from the CDC puts the number of times Americans used a gun to frighten an intruder away at about 500,000. [10] The Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology estimates that the number of times guns are used in defense is over 1 million. [10] A 1982 survey of felons in prison concluded that 34% was scared off from a gun owner, 40% didn't commit a crime out of a belief that the victim was in possession of gun, & 69% of them knew someone else that were scared off with a gun. [10] The lowest estimates of occasions that Americans use guns in defense is multiple times higher than they are used to murder. Average estimates are about the same number of times guns are used illegally, high estimates rivals or surpasses violent crimes. The CDC also concluded that gun ownership is an important crime deterrent. [11] Bad for the economy A ban on guns would result in a serious problem for the economy, there are over 155,000 workers that are good paying jobs in that industry. Even more workers that revolves around that industry. Those businesses provide near $7 billion in taxes, & near $50 billion to the economy. A ban would cause those people their jobs, assuming they have a families it easily affects 310,000 people not counting real possibility that they have children. [12] Entire states are dependent on the gun industries, the gun industry employs more people then GM. [13] To put it in a little perspective, America's gun industries, if they were a nation, would rank around 82nd wealthiest nation in the world, there are 173 nations. [14] So the gun industry provides America with more money than half of the world's nations can provide itself. Violence would ensue The American reaction towards a call of confiscation would be negative to say the least. As I said earlier in this round, 90% of Americans oppose a total gun ban & any attempt to confiscate them. A large % of Americans refuse to register their weapons. [15] [16] The last time authorities went on a hell bent mission of gun confiscation resulted in the 'shot hear round the world' [17], I don't imagine the reactions of freedom loving people in the United States would respond much differently. The people of the United States having been born & raised understanding that the 2nd amendment is the ultimate line of defense against tyranny, & knowing that when seconds truly matter, cops are minutes away. Americans will not quietly surrender what is considered the most important right the American people have. [1] http://bearingarms.com... [2] http://www.cdc.gov...

BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms in the gene encoding the β-adrenergic receptors (β-AR) have a pivotal role in the functions of the autonomic nervous system. Using heart rate variability (HRV) as an indicator of autonomic function, we present a bottom-up genotype–phenotype analysis to investigate the association between β-AR gene polymorphisms and heart rate dynamics. METHODS: A total of 221 healthy Han Chinese adults (59 males and 162 females, aged 33.6±10.8 years, range 19 to 63 years) were recruited and genotyped for three common β-AR polymorphisms: β(1)-AR Ser49Gly, β(2)-AR Arg16Gly and β(2)-AR Gln27Glu. Each subject underwent two hours of electrocardiogram monitoring at rest. We applied an information-based similarity (IBS) index to measure the pairwise dissimilarity of heart rate dynamics among study subjects. RESULTS: With the aid of agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis, we categorized subjects into major clusters, which were found to have significantly different distributions of β(2)-AR Arg16Gly genotype. Furthermore, the non-randomness index, a nonlinear HRV measure derived from the IBS method, was significantly lower in Arg16 homozygotes than in Gly16 carriers. The non-randomness index was negatively correlated with parasympathetic-related HRV variables and positively correlated with those HRV indices reflecting a sympathovagal shift toward sympathetic activity. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate a bottom-up categorization approach combining the IBS method and hierarchical cluster analysis to detect subgroups of subjects with HRV phenotypes associated with β-AR polymorphisms. Our results provide evidence that β(2)-AR polymorphisms are significantly associated with the acceleration/deceleration pattern of heart rate oscillation, reflecting the underlying mode of autonomic nervous system control. | trec-covid |

This paper focuses on the problem of identifying influential users of micro-blogging services. Twitter, one of the most notable micro-blogging services, employs a social-networking model called "following", in which each user can choose who she wants to "follow" to receive tweets from without requiring the latter to give permission first. In a dataset prepared for this study, it is observed that (1) 72.4% of the users in Twitter follow more than 80% of their followers, and (2) 80.5% of the users have 80% of users they are following follow them back. Our study reveals that the presence of "reciprocity" can be explained by phenomenon of homophily. Based on this finding, TwitterRank, an extension of PageRank algorithm, is proposed to measure the influence of users in Twitter. TwitterRank measures the influence taking both the topical similarity between users and the link structure into account. Experimental results show that TwitterRank outperforms the one Twitter currently uses and other related algorithms, including the original PageRank and Topic-sensitive PageRank. | scidocs |
This paper proposes quiz-style information presentation for interactive systems as a means to improve user understanding in educational tasks. Since the nature of quizzes can highly motivate users to stay voluntarily engaged in the interaction and keep their attention on receiving information, it is expected that information presented as quizzes can be better understood by users. To verify the effectiveness of the approach, we implemented read-out and quiz systems and performed comparison experiments using human subjects. In the task of memorizing biographical facts, the results showed that user understanding for the quiz system was significantly better than that for the read-out system, and that the subjects were more willing to use the quiz system despite the long duration of the quizzes. This indicates that quiz-style information presentation promotes engagement in the interaction with the system, leading to the improved user understanding. | scidocs |
Free market wages on top of living wage? UBI doesn't dictate that all forms of payment be stopped, just that the govt provides costs of living in the form of either a weekly check, or as your tax refund with a basic of CoL deducted on top of your work related purchases. The free market can expand all it wants on top of that, it's just that now everyone has a fallback when the free market contracts as it inevitably will because infinite growth only works if you have infinite resources to fuel infinite growth. | fiqa |

A question was asked in the meta of Skeptics.SE about an old question and the OP said that the question would be closed if posted today. I wanted to ask them why do they think that the question would be closed if posted today, so I wrote a comment > Why do you think that that question would be closed today? I know that the question "Why do you think that the leafs are green?" is correct, also referring to the subject of a post or sentence as "that question" is correct as well. Can I combine these correct forms and create a question with the wording "that that"? | cqadupstack-english |

I need to create a web map showing many raster layers. I am using mapserver and want to use Openlayers, however I can't find any good tutorial about it. I see a couple of old questions (1 and 2) saying that there were no good documentation. Have the things changed recently? I would like to find a tutorial teaching from basics to rather complicated things with good explanations of the code and pictures/examples of the results. For now I managed to do only the simplest web map with my _.map_ file, but I need to customize it (add legends, group layers, add more controls, embedding, etc). | cqadupstack-gis |

I want to calculate the influence of different factors on a list of y. The problem is, that some of the y are also include in the factor matrix, so cv.glmnet would compute a coefficient around 1 for this factor, but I want that it is zero, so only the other factors are considered for the coefficient matrix. So my question is, are there any options to exclude the factor in this case or to change the coefficient to zero during the calculating? My easy solution would be to set the values of the factor to zero, so that it can't have an influence. Script: for ( i in 1:dim(allsamples)[1]) { #allsamples= x genes, Y samples gene=as.data.frame(allsamples[x,]) #for one gene --> Y observations gene=as.numeric(gene) gene=gene[-1] #expression of the influence factors tfs=t(data.matrix(tfgenes)) colnames(tfs)=tfgenes[,1] tfs=tfs[-1,] # set expression to zero if gene=influence factor? if(length(intersect(gene,colnames(tfs)))==1) { tfs[,intersect(gene,colnames(tfs))]=rep(0,125) #row or column?? }else { tfs=tfs } z=NULL #repeat regression for(i in 1:100) { cv.fit=cv.glmnet(data.matrix(tfs),gene,family="gaussian",nfolds=10, alpha=1,type.measure="mse") lambda=cv.fit$lambda.min z=rbind(z,lambda) } # all lambda.min mean_lambda_min=mean(z) #regression with the mean lambda minimum fit=glmnet(data.matrix(tfs),gene,family="gaussian",lambda=mean_lambda_min,alpha=1) # matrix of coefficients for each gene matrix=rbind(matrix,t(as.matrix(coef(fit)))) } | cqadupstack-stats |
I got down voted for my comment. But, this is exactly what a lot proponents of higher capital taxes argue. That, if you are not a hoarder of wealth; then, you should not worry about a high capital gains tax. And, again as the video clearly demonstrated. Capital gains prevent labor gains; where the lower and middle classes earn. | fiqa |

The question is in the title. I know that EM algorithm could do maximum likelihood estimation for models that have latent variables. I would like to know can we get the (estimated) value of these latent variables once the algorithm is finished ? I know the question is vague and it depends on problems so I try to describe mine as follow: I have a random point process (failure process) with ${T_i}_{ \lbrace i \geq 0 \rbrace}$ denote the failure times. At each failure we have a flag $Z_i \sim \mathcal{B}(p)$, where $\mathcal{B}(p)$ is a Bernoulli distribution, to indicate the realized action, though in the end we can not observe $Z_i$ but only $T_i$. I might note that $T_i$ is not iid because it depends on the realized action at $T_i$ to jump from $T_i$ to $T_{i+1}$. With the help of EM algorithm, I can estimate $p$ and others parameters BUT I couldn't know the value (or estimated) of $Z_i$ since this algorithm don't mention. So I would like to know if there are any articles discuss this one? Any idea is welcome and thanks in advance ! | cqadupstack-stats |
I've create pie charts using pgf-pie and I have exactly the same problem as in this pgf-pie issue. I changed pgf-pie code to draw small percentages outside of the main circle. But I have one problem that remains: if the numbers are very very small the values are written on top of each other: IMHO this can only be fixed on the chart itselft. I added names to all nodes that print percent values. I want to change style or position of these nodes. Is there any way to do this? changed pgf-pie code at line 58. %\path (O) -- ++(\midangle:\innerpos) %node {\scalefont{#3}\beforenumber\fnum\afternumber}; \pgfmathprintnumberto{#3}{\fnum} \ifthenelse{\lengthtest{#3 pt < 10pt}} { \path (O) -- ++ (\midangle:\radius) node[inner sep=0,align=left,anchor=west,rotate=\midangle](nums#3){~~\fnum}; } { \path (O) -- ++(\midangle:\innerpos) node {\scalefont{#3}\beforenumber\fnum\afternumber}; } diagram: \begin{tikzpicture}[every legend entry/.append style={text width=5cm,font=\footnotesize},scale=0.95] \pie[ sum=auto, text=legend, rotate =90, radius=5.0, after number=\%, ] { 0.444/message transport other, 67.792/sign, 0.175/forwarding, 0.433/links send other , 1.093/serialize message, 2.336/send message, 2.336/link receive , 2.232/forwarding receive , 10.770/parse signature block, 11.818/verify signature, 0.570/parse message content} %\draw (0,0) node[outer sep=0pt,fill=blue,below of=nums0.433,anchor=west] {filled};\end{tikzpicture} | cqadupstack-text |
Well said. I will finish my with three stages. Rebuttal, Any further arguments, Closing Statement.Rebuttal:Con makes two arguments. Self identification and Game usage. "Jimmy Graham was classified and drafted as a TE when he came into the league [1]. On his own Twitter profile, he identifies himself as a TE [2]."Being drafted to a certain position does not force you to stay in that position. Players may change to a different position based on team need. While I believe his Twitter Bio wasn't changed since he was drafted, he could have called himself the "King of Prussia" and it would be true. I am also sure before the season he assumed he would be considered a tight end, but his on field play showed otherwise.Graham is 6-7 265lbs. This is out of the ordinary for a WR, yes. However, Matt Ware, cornerback of the Arizona Cardinals, is 6-2 215lbs. The average cornerback is 5-11 195lbs. It is not uncommon, and would actually be odd, if there were no outliers in anatomical averages at a certain position.The second argument: Game usage. 'Close' is an ambiguous term, and all of offensive players could be considered 'close'. Tight ends are considered to line up just off the offence tackles, on the line of scrimmage to assist with blocking, as part of there duty as a tight end.Graham was taken off the field on many defensive plays because he is a poor blocker diminishing one of his obligations as a TE, making him more as of WR.The argument has been made that he will line up in such a position and motion out to the Slot thus thickening the plot. Offensive schemes are becoming increasingly complex. They require a lot of motion to keep the defense unaware of routes, blocking schemes, etc. Wide receivers occasionally start in the backfield (normally held by a Running Back) and then motion out wide. Quarterbacks have been known to motion out wide in the commonly known "Wildcat" scheme. Motioning on plays is typical among any eligible receiver on offense and has little bearing on ones position. A defense has the right to assign any defenders to any player it deems fit. A typical WR (for example Wes Welker) could line up in the backfield, or next to the offensive line similar to a TE. However, the defense will still put a cornerback on him because of his speed. Defenses choose to put a linebacker or safety on Graham because of his size. The typical cornerback is not strong enough to battle Graham, so they choose bigger defenders to handle his bulk. Defenses do not dictate an offensive players position, they merely adapt to the circumstances. The Collective Bargaining Agreement describes "at which the Franchise player participated in the most plays during the prior League Year" not 'which defender typically covers a certain position'.Which leads me into my Final Argument...Where Graham may start a a snap in the tight end position, but he motions to the Slot position(normally held by a WR). Therefore, he is beginning that play as a WR. Regardless of where he started Pre-Snap, He ends up as a WR based on the CBA. Which should require him to be paid as such.I believe we will now see changes, regardless of the outcome for Jimmy Graham's Franchise Tag Salary, in how we determine position for players.

Because they receive compensation (generally interest + dividends) for loaning out the shares. I own an asset X. Somebody else wants to borrow asset X for some time period. I agree to loan them asset X in return for some form of compensation (generally a rate of interest plus, in this specific case, any dividend payments). The reasons why I own asset X, and why they want to borrow asset X are irrelevant to the transaction. The only relevant points are the amount of compensation and the risk that they might default on the loan. This applies equally well to shares as to money or any other kind of loan-able asset. | fiqa |

i have done this many times but not via a form so i am getting a weird issues when trying to assign a "selected" based on the current post term id... Maybe the use of get_the_category and then get_categories creates a conflict? Any one has any idea as to why this might happen? No matter what the selected item is the last one and not the Current post (get the post id via an outside form) category Here is my code: <?php $postId = $_POST['postid']; // the value is recieved properly $currentCategory = get_the_category($postId); // the value is recieved properly $currentCategoryId = $currentCategory[0]->term_id; // the value is assigned properly $categories = get_categories('hide_empty=0'); // the value is recieved properly $optionname = "postcats"; // the value is recieved properly $emptyvalue = ""; // SELECET DROP DOWN TERMS echo '<select name="'.$optionname.'" class="clientList"><option selected="'.$selected.'" value="'.$emptyvalue.'">'.__('Choose a category','sagive').'</option>'; foreach($categories as $category){ // next line seem to not work! if($currentCategoryId == $category->term_id) {$selected = 'selected="selected"';} echo '<option name="'.$category->term_id.'" value="'.$category->term_id.'" '.$selected.'>'.$category->name.'</option>'; } echo '</select>'; ?> . **if i try to echo the $currentCategoryId outside the foreach it works but not inside it.. kinda wierd!** Your help would me most appreciated. | cqadupstack-wordpress |

I'm trying to formalize the probability density function for a rather simple process, but I'm having difficulty writing it precisely. Specifically, consider simulating a 1-D Gaussian random walk starting from X_0 until some stopping condition (which happens in finite time almost surely). Specifically, let RV $X_0 \sim \pi(\cdot)$ for some known density $\pi$, given RV $X_n$ then $X_{n+1} \sim \mathcal{N}(\cdot; X_n, 1)$, where $\mathcal{N}(x;\mu,\sigma)$ is the normal PDF evaluated at point $x$ with mean $\mu$ and variance $\sigma$. Also we are given function $S : \mathbb{R} \to (0,1)$ where $S(x)$ gives the probability of the chain terminating at point $x$. So, given a sequence of points $X_0,...,X_n$ we can write the PDF as $$ p(x_0,...,x_n) = \pi(x_0)\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} \mathcal{N}(x_i; x_{i-1}, 1)(1-S(x_i))\mathcal{N}(x_n; x_{n-1}, 1)S(x_n) $$ Now, we add in one final annoying detail: that after the chain terminates we choose a _single point from the sequence uniformly at random_. My question: How can I write the PDF $f(x')$, where the RV $X'$ is the point chosen by this process? My guess is to define a PMF for the uniform distribution $u(x'|x_0,...,x_n) = \\{ 1/(n+1) \ \text{if} \ x \in \\{x_0,...,x_n\\}; 0 \ \text{otherwise} \\}$ giving: $$ f(x') = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \int u(x'|x_0,...,x_n)p(x_0,...,x_n) dx_0...dx_n $$ but $u$ is not defined for infinite sets (even though I assume $S$ will terminate the chain in finite time), and is it even a valid conditional density, being defined over a discrete set like that? I get the sense I am breaking a lot of rules here. | cqadupstack-stats |

Yes but the trendy new term is plant-based diet, and I think the attraction for a vegan fast food would be to get a quick, healthy meal that is reminiscent of typical fast food. The way meat protein is consumed in the US and elsewhere is typically in conjunction with other processed ingredients. If someone figures out a good menu with relatively healthy vegan food, I definitely think they could be successful. Something like Jamba Juice where they have many locations inside or next to gyms seems like it could work. Smoothies don't always cut it and a quick, cheap, healthy snack would be fantastic after or before a work out. Honestly I never go to restaurants that serve meats and order something that is strictly vegan/vegetarian. If there was a place I could go to quickly that specializes in vegan food I would love to give it a try. | fiqa |

By default, WordPress strips out any content that might be unescaped HTML in comments from unregistered users, which is good to protect against XSS, but it unnecessarily extends that filtering into `<pre>` elements too. On my blog, where almost every post generates comments that benefit from HTML code snippets, that filtering has caused my users (and myself) lots of frustrating trouble. Is there a way to "fix" that overly aggressive filtering inside `<pre>` elements within unregistered comments, without disabling it for the rest of the comment?

Polymorphism of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene is reported to be associated with ischemic heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. In this study, we investigated the relationship between Kawasaki disease and insertion/deletion polymorphism of ACE gene. Fifty five Kawasaki disease patients and 43 healthy children were enrolled. ACE genotype was evaluated from each of the subjects' DNA fragments through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Frequencies of ACE genotypes (DD, ID, II) were 12.7%, 60.0%, 27.3% in Kawasaki group, and 41.9%, 30.2%, 27.9% in control group respectively, indicating low rate of DD and high rate of ID genotype among Kawasaki patients (p<0.01). Comparing allelic (I, D) frequencies, I allele was more prevalent in Kawasaki group than in control group (57.3% vs. 43.0%, p<0.05). In Kawasaki group, both genotype and allelic frequencies were not statistically different between those with coronary dilatations and those without. ACE gene I/D polymorphism is thought to be associated with Kawasaki disease but not with the development of coronary dilatations. | trec-covid |

Cellular uptake of therapeutic oligonucleotides and subsequent intracellular trafficking to their target sites represents the major technical hurdle for the biological effectiveness of these potential drugs. Accordingly, laboratories worldwide focus on the development of suitable delivery systems. Among the different available non-viral systems like cationic polymers, cationic liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) represent an attractive concept to bypass the problem of poor membrane permeability of these charged macromolecules. While uptake per se in most cases does not represent the main obstacle of nucleic acid delivery in vitro, it becomes increasingly apparent that intracellular trafficking is the bottleneck. As a consequence, in order to optimize a given delivery system, a side-by-side analysis of nucleic acid cargo internalized and the corresponding biological effect is required to determine the overall efficacy. In this review, we will concentrate on peptide-mediated delivery of siRNAs and steric block oligonucleotides and discuss different methods for quantitative assessment of the amount of cargo taken up and how to correlate those numbers with biological effects by applying easy to handle reporter systems. To illustrate current limitations of non-viral nucleic acid delivery systems, we present own data as an example and discuss options of how to enhance trafficking of molecules entrapped in cellular compartments. | trec-covid |

Rabies has been eliminated from domestic dog populations in Western Europe and North America, but continues to kill many thousands of people throughout Africa and Asia every year. A quantitative understanding of transmission dynamics in domestic dog populations provides critical information to assess whether global elimination of canine rabies is possible. We report extensive observations of individual rabid animals in Tanzania and generate a uniquely detailed analysis of transmission biology, which explains important epidemiological features, including the level of variation in epidemic trajectories. We found that the basic reproductive number for rabies, R(0), is very low in our study area in rural Africa (∼1.2) and throughout its historic global range (<2). This finding provides strong support for the feasibility of controlling endemic canine rabies by vaccination, even near wildlife areas with large wild carnivore populations. However, we show that rapid turnover of domestic dog populations has been a major obstacle to successful control in developing countries, thus regular pulse vaccinations will be required to maintain population-level immunity between campaigns. Nonetheless our analyses suggest that with sustained, international commitment, global elimination of rabies from domestic dog populations, the most dangerous vector to humans, is a realistic goal. | trec-covid |

Both here on stack overflow and on Java Effective it is suggested that strategy design patterns should be stateless. In fact in the book it is also suggested to make each strategy object a singleton. The problem I have is that some strategies I envision for my program need states/fields. Either because they are path-dependent in their behavior or because I want them heterogeneous (a statistical distribution of similar strategies, if you prefer). This forces me to break both Java Effective suggestions: I instantiate a new strategy for each user class AND each of these strategies contain its own fields. Is that very bad? Should it be done differently? It was suggested to me to keep the fields that make the strategy heterogeneous in the class that uses it and then pass it as an argument. I find that very anti-oo. Those fields don't belong to the user class. In fact, if that class uses another strategy it might not need those fields at all. That seems to run against the reason I am using the strategy pattern in the first place. Mostly I am just very confused * * * I make a simple example here. Imagine you have a class Gambler, which represents somebody making bets on horses. Now this class will require a strategy predictStrategy that will work something like this: interface predictStrategy{ public Horse predictWinningHorse(HorseRace r); } Now, I can have many implementations where the strategy is to choose at random, or pick the white horse or whatever. That's easy. Imagine though that I implement a strategy that looks at past predictions and somewhat "learns" from its past mistakes. Clearly each strategy will have to have its own memory on which to learn. I might have to add one more method to the interface (or make an extension) interface predictStrategy{ public Horse predictWinningHorse(HorseRace r); public void addObservation(HorseRace r, Horse oldPrediction, Horse actualWinner); } So that the Gambler class calls "strategy.addObservation(...)" at the end of each race to improve its predictive power. Can this be **really** be done with a _stateless_ strategy object? It seems impossible to me. | cqadupstack-programmers |

Recent advances in microelectronics and integrated circuits, system-on-chip design, wireless communication and intelligent low-power sensors have allowed the realization of a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). A WBAN is a collection of low-power, miniaturized, invasive/non-invasive lightweight wireless sensor nodes that monitor the human body functions and the surrounding environment. In addition, it supports a number of innovative and interesting applications such as ubiquitous healthcare, entertainment, interactive gaming, and military applications. In this paper, the fundamental mechanisms of WBAN including architecture and topology, wireless implant communication, low-power Medium Access Control (MAC) and routing protocols are reviewed. A comprehensive study of the proposed technologies for WBAN at Physical (PHY), MAC, and Network layers is presented and many useful solutions are discussed for each layer. Finally, numerous WBAN applications are highlighted. | scidocs |

Electrochemical analysis of sweat using soft bioelectronics on human skin provides a new route for noninvasive glucose monitoring without painful blood collection. However, sweat-based glucose sensing still faces many challenges, such as difficulty in sweat collection, activity variation of glucose oxidase due to lactic acid secretion and ambient temperature changes, and delamination of the enzyme when exposed to mechanical friction and skin deformation. Precise point-of-care therapy in response to the measured glucose levels is still very challenging. We present a wearable/disposable sweat-based glucose monitoring device integrated with a feedback transdermal drug delivery module. Careful multilayer patch design and miniaturization of sensors increase the efficiency of the sweat collection and sensing process. Multimodal glucose sensing, as well as its real-time correction based on pH, temperature, and humidity measurements, maximizes the accuracy of the sensing. The minimal layout design of the same sensors also enables a strip-type disposable device. Drugs for the feedback transdermal therapy are loaded on two different temperature-responsive phase change nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are embedded in hyaluronic acid hydrogel microneedles, which are additionally coated with phase change materials. This enables multistage, spatially patterned, and precisely controlled drug release in response to the patient’s glucose level. The system provides a novel closed-loop solution for the noninvasive sweat-based management of diabetes mellitus. | scidocs |
The clinical serial interval of an infectious disease is the time between date of symptom onset in an index case and the date of symptom onset in one of its secondary cases. It is a quantity which is commonly collected during a pandemic and is of fundamental importance to public health policy and mathematical modelling. In this paper we present a novel method for calculating the serial interval distribution for a Markovian model of household transmission dynamics. This allows the use of Bayesian MCMC methods, with explicit evaluation of the likelihood, to fit to serial interval data and infer parameters of the underlying model. We use simulated and real data to verify the accuracy of our methodology and illustrate the importance of accounting for household size. The output of our approach can be used to produce posterior distributions of population level epidemic characteristics. | trec-covid |
"I would hold off on making that threat (closing your account). First, because as others have said, it's not likely to help.

After that, you might try sending a letter to corporate HQ. A lot depends on the particular ""feature"" you are talking about and why they removed it. It could be that 1) the bank finds the feature is just too costly provide for free, 2) there may be a technical reason why they can no longer provide it, 3) it could be as simple as that few to none of their customers (excluding you) are actually using the feature, or 4) it could be that due to changing regulation, or market forces, no bank is offering that feature anymore. Also, while they may not care specifically about your business, the local branch has an incentive to not drive customers away if it can be reasonably avoided." | fiqa |
We follow pair programming in our company and always face the issue of balanced and effective pair rotation within the developers on stories. We follow a simple metrics in which every developer's name is mapped with every other developer and we mark the respective intersection whenever two developers are pairing. This is not working out well, we cannot track how much time a pair has spent pairing and people forget to update the metrics many times. Tracking the pair rotation is helpful because we want the project knowledge to be shared across the team, and not just one pair. So usually what happens is, whoever is pairing keeps pairing till the entire story is completed (given they have better context), and no body else knows about what is being done & if the story or a regression/production bug comes back, the same pair has to pick it up (leaving whatever they are currently doing), which is what creates a bottleneck. Are there any known metrics that can be used for tracking the pair rotations. | cqadupstack-programmers |
In this answer to a previous question of mine about scripting languages suitability as shells, DigitalRoss identifies the difference between the macro languages and the "parsed typed" languages in terms of string treatment as the main reason that scripting languages are _not_ suitable for shell purposes. Macro languages include nroff and m4 for example. What are the design decisions (or compromises) needed to create a macro programming language? And why are most of the mainstream languages parsed rather than macro? This very similar question (and the accepted answer) covers fairly well why the parsed typed languages, take C for example, suffer from the use of macros. I believe my question here covers different grounds: 1. Macro languages or those working on a textual level are not wholly failures. Arguably, they include `bash`, `Tcl` and other shell languages. And they work in a specific niche such as shells as explained in my links above. Even `m4` had a fairly long time of success, and some of the web template languages can be regarded as macro languages. 2. It is quite possible that macros and parsed typing do not go well together and that is why macros "break" common languages. In the answer to the linked question, a macro like `#define TWO 1+1` would have been covered by the common rules of the language rather than conflicting with those of the host language. And issues like "macros are not typed" and "code doesn't compile" are not relevant in the context of a language designed as untyped and interpreted with little concern for efficiency. 3. The question about the design decisions needed to create a macro language pertain to a hobby project which I am currently working on on designing a new shell. Taking the previous question in context would clarify the difference between adding macros to a parsed language and my objective. I hope the clarification shows that the question linked doesn't cover this question, which is two parts: 1. If I want to create a macro language (for a shell or a web template, for example), what limitations and compromises (and guidelines, if exist) need to be done? 2. (Probably answerable by a link or reference) Why have no macro languages succeed in becoming mainstream except in particular niches? What makes typed languages successful in large programming, while "stringly-typed" languages succeed in shells and one-liner like environments? | cqadupstack-programmers |

I have just installed latex on my mac. I opened the texwork and I can type in latex script there, whenever I compile it, I will get an output. But is it possible to have the output instantly standing side by side, so that when I type, I can see the change immediately? Do I have to get any other plugin? | cqadupstack-text |
I am doing a scattering simulation of a gaussian wave packet on a finite square well. I have solved numerically the Schroedinger equation and I know the values of the wave function after the scattering process before and after the square well. To be more clear, this is the situation after the scattering process: (the wave function is not normalized, the biggest packet is moving towards left, the smallest towards right) I know that the tasmission coefficient is defined as: $T=\frac{\vec{j}_{trasmitted}}{\vec{j}_{incident}}$ where the flux $\vec{j}$ is defined as: $\vec{j}(x)=\psi^*(x)\frac{\hat{p}}{2m}\psi(x)-\psi(x)\frac{\hat{p}}{2m}\psi(x)^*$ Now, for an unormalizable function like $C*e^{ikx}$ I am able to determine T, it is easy because the flux is constant. But in this case the flux is not constant before and after the square well. Maybe the probability to find the particle after the square well (and so the area under the part of the normalized $|\psi|^2$ that crossed the barrier) is the correct value of the transmission coefficient? If my hypotesis is correct, could you give me some references where it is expalined? | cqadupstack-physics |

I have recently set up GeoServer instance and uploaded raster data and a set of field boundaries. I would like to be able to select a field boundary and have the server return the portion of the raster that falls within the polygon (not the bounding box). Is this possible with a WMS request or how can it be done? Any help would be appreciated! | cqadupstack-gis |

It seems on so many of my routes I'll get 1-2 stops that have 100+ angry passengers waiting at them. At some point adding more vehicles doesn't do any good, as they get too congested and end up causing long queues. What are some other tactics for reducing the queue size? | cqadupstack-gaming |
How would one go about allowing reader-submitted reviews of different custom- post-types? For example, if I had a site with a custom-post-type Restaurant and custom- post-type Accommodation. The review structure for each would basically be the same (name, email, comment and rating), and just the star-rating would be styled differently (cutlery vs beds instead of stars). When you view each restaurant, you'd see the reviews for that restaurant, and when you view the restaurant archive, you'd see all the restaurant reviews but not the accommodation reviews, and vice versa for accommodation. Would customising the comments ability in WP be sufficient for something like this? | cqadupstack-wordpress |
I'm trying to get NHL Slapshot to update the roster and schedules but it's giving me the error "Cannot connect to EA server"... I don't know why because I've been playing online multiplayer for call of duty... any idea why the error happens and how I can resolve it? | cqadupstack-gaming |
Have you ever tried http://www.wproots.com/ultimate-guide-to-meta-boxes-in- wordpress/ ? It's good classes to create metabox. But I'm having problem with the validation. I tried the `sanitize_callback` parameter to sanitize URL, so I used `esc_url` but the field still accepted all values. What is the problem here? Here's my code add_smart_meta_box( 'themename_slides_url', array( 'title' => __( 'Slides Options', 'themename' ), 'pages' => array( 'slides' ), 'context' => 'normal', 'priority' => 'high', 'fields' => array( array( 'name' => __( 'Slides URL', 'themename' ), 'id' => 'slide_url', 'default' => '', 'desc' => __( 'Type the URL of the slide', 'themename' ), 'type' => 'text', 'sanitize_callback' => 'themename_sanitize_url' ), ) ) ) function themename_sanitize_url( $new, $meta_key, $id ) { if( esc_url( $new ) ) return $new; } Any idea ? | cqadupstack-wordpress |

Electropalatographic and acoustic data reported in this study show differences in closure location and degree, dorsopalatal contact size, closure duration, relative timing of events and formant frequency between clear /l/ and dark /l/ in two dialects of Catalan (Valencian and Majorcan). The two Catalan dialects under investigation differ also regarding degree of darkness but essentially not regarding coarticulatory resistance at the word edges, i.e. the alveolar lateral is equally dark word-initially and word-finally in Majorcan, and clearer in the former position vs. than the latter in Valencian, and more resistant to vowel effects in the two positions than intervocalically in both dialects. With reference to data from the literature, it appears that languages and dialects may differ as to whether /l/ is dark or clear in all word positions or whether or not initial /l/ is clearer than final /l/, and that articulatory strengthening occurs not only wordand utterance-initially but wordand utterance-finally as well. These and other considerations confirm the hypothesis that degree of darkness in /l/ proceeds gradually rather than categorically from one language to another. | scidocs |
