Metastatic skeletal disease in the pediatric population.
We reviewed the autopsy, clinical, and radiographic records of 39 patients with metastatic skeletal disease (age range 18 months-20 years). There were 11 different primary tumors responsible for skeletal metastases, of which neuroblastoma was the most common (16 patients). Other commonly occurring tumors giving rise to secondary skeletal deposits were rhabdomyosarcoma (seven), teratoma-teratocarcinoma (four), and Wilms tumor (three). Overall patient survival ranged from 2 weeks to 72 months, with an average of 10.2 months. Those patients presenting without skeletal metastases at the time of diagnosis of the primary tumor had a survival time averaging 16.2 months (range 3-72 months), whereas those patients presenting initially with skeletal metastases at the time of diagnosis of the primary tumor had a survival time of 8.5 months (range 0.5-23 months).


Q:

Symfony2 losing form data on bind

I came across an issue with Symfony2 forms that I can't figure out, namely, on the form there are 5 checkboxes for user roles. These are defined in an entity as constants and added to the form type, like such:
public static $GENERAL_ROLES = array(
    "ROLE_ADMIN" => "ROLE_ADMIN",
    "ROLE_USER" => "ROLE_USER",
    "ROLE_WORKER" => "ROLE_WORKER",
    "ROLE_PM" => "ROLE_PM",
    "ROLE_PM_MANAGER" => "ROLE_PM_MANAGER"
    );

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder
        ->add('username', null, array('required' => true, 'label' => "Login"))
        ->add('expiresAt', 'date', array(
            'label' => "End account date"
            'required' => false,
            'widget' => 'single_text',
            'format' => 'dd-MM-yyyy',
            ))
        ->add('plainPassword', 'repeated', array(
            'type' => 'password',
            'options' => array('translation_domain' => 'FOSUserBundle'),
            'first_options' => array('label' => 'Mot de passe'),
            'second_options' => array('label' => 'Confirmation'),
            'invalid_message' => 'fos_user.password.mismatch',
        ))
        ->add('roles', 'choice', array(
            'label' => 'Role',
            'mapped' => true,
            'expanded' => true,
            'multiple' => true,
            'attr' => array('class' => 'control-label'),
            'choices' => \FullSix\ProjectForecastBundle\Entity\Login::$GENERAL_ROLES
          ))
    ;
}

So far so good, the choices appear on the form. When I submit with all roles checked, if I check $_POST, all the roles are there, all good. However, when I do $form->bind($request), things start to go south.
In the validator,
class LoginValidator extends ConstraintValidator
{
    public function validate($login, Constraint $constraint)
    {
        if ($login->getPlainPassword() || $login->getUsername() || $login->getRoles() || $login->getExpiresAt()) {
            if (!$login->getPlainPassword()) {
                $this->context->addViolation($constraint->noPasswordMessage);
            }
            if (!$login->getUsername()) {
                $this->context->addViolation($constraint->noUsernameMessage);
            }
            if (!$login->getRoles()) {
                $this->context->addViolation($constraint->noRole);
            }
        }
    }
}

only 4 of the 5 roles are still here, specifically all except ROLE_USER. The funny thing is, if I change the value from ROLE_USER into anything else, it works fine. It only breaks with this particular value.
I couldn't find any info on weather symfony has something against using this name, or what.
Anyway, I'm really curious why this issue occurs, so if anyone could enlighten me that would be great :). Thank you.

A:

It's as Cerad said, because the entity extended FOSUserBundle:User and this means it will always have the role user, it filtered out the ROLE_USER from the form. Thank you for your answer. In the end my colleague who was working on this went with another approach but I was still curious :)

Q:

Reassign variable in a List within for-loop

I want to reassign a variable within a for loop traversing over an ArrayList of Objects. But whatever I try it seems that nothing has any effect. Basically my code looks like this:
for (int i = 0; i < enemies.size(); i++) {
    AbstractEnemy enemy = enemies.get(i);

    if (enemy.intersects(bullet)) {
        enemy.getsHit(bullet.getDamage());
        bulletList.remove(bullet);
        if (enemy.isDead()) {

            // This does not work
            enemy = new ExplodingEnemy(enemy.x, enemy.y);

        }
    }
}

What am I doing wrong?

A:

Creating a new enemy does not have any effect because you are assigning the enemy object to a temporary variable with the lifetime limited to a single loop iteration. If you want to store the enemy object in the list of enemies, you need to add a call of set method, like this:
enemy = new ExplodingEnemy(enemy.x, enemy.y);
enemies.set(i, enemy);

this would replace the old object representing an enemy with the one you have just created.

A:

enemy = new ExplodingEnemy(enemy.x, enemy.y);

is just changing the reference and not the object referenced by the reference. For that you need an internal handle to the object in form of an exposed method, which can modify the object from inside.

Chelsea will go nowhere without managerial stability

The merry-go-round of managers at Chelsea will never bring sustained success, writes Alex Sharp

André Villas-Boas only took charge at Stamford Bridge in June 2011 Photo: The Sport Review

The inevitable axe has swung. André Villas-Boas is no more and Roman Abramovich is searching for yet another manager at Chelsea.

The 34-year-old Portuguese is out after having failed to keep the Stamford Bridge egos happy and clearly struggled to motivate them for a fight for fourth place in the Premier League

Was it fair? Villas-Boas won just 19 of his 40 games in charge of Chelsea – the lowest win percentage at the club since Glenn Hoddle. That is sackable form at any top European club but Chelsea are in a transition, the old guard are on the way out and new blood needs a chance.

This “project” Villas-Boas talked of wasn’t conjured up with Abramovich in the same room and he was evidently hired back in June as a flavour of the month.

The Russian billionaire risked a lot, and as ever paid a lot, but has been unwilling to forgo a season to build a formidable side once again.

Instead he’s opted for Roberto Di Matteo for the rest of the campaign. A new manager provides a catalyst for improved performances but let’s not forget Di Matteo will be tainted by his association as Villas-Boas’s number two – and he struggled to improve West Brom.

The wages, astronomical transfers and the idea of ‘buying the title’ are crippling the game and creating a harsh, uncompromising atmosphere.

Look at Arsenal, without a trophy in seven frustrating years but after a sensational derby win and resolute victory at Anfield, the grass is now looking a lot greener at the Emirates. The fans aren’t now hounding Arsène Wenger and even Theo Walcott is getting a few cheers.

The dire situation down at Stamford Bridge must have Wenger smiling from ear to ear. Liverpool somehow lost to his Gunners, Chelsea flopped, Newcastle drew and crucially Spurs lost.

If you take away the Arsenal ‘Invicnibles’ and the Champions League final jouney of 2006, then finishing fourth with this season would be near the top of Wenger’s accomplishments at the club.

So the start was absolutely abysmal and incrementally, Wenger has hauled his players back into the Champions League places to perhaps challenge Spurs for the automatic third spot.

His previous squads have been blessed with world class players, legends of the game, but he has had to fight a chronic injury list and lack of solid, available transfer targets.

Now, a third-place finish in the league would surely quiten his doubters if he builds properly for a title assent next season. Wenger deserves a successful, trophy laden swan song.

Abramovich has an obvious blueprint to follow at Arsenal and more eveidently at Manchester United. Consistency is the key and the merry-go-round of managers at Chelsea will never bring sustained success.

Antitumour activity of 1-naphthol against L1210 leukaemia in vivo and Ehrlich ascites tumour cells in vivo and in vitro.
1-Naphthol inhibited ascitic fluid formation in mice infected intraperitoneally with either L1210 leukaemia or Ehrlich ascites tumour cells (EATC). A significant increase in life span was observed in EATC but not in L1210 bearing mice dosed with 1-naphthol (50-60 mg/kg). 1-Naphthol caused a concentration-dependent toxicity to EATC in vitro.


The present invention relates to computer speech recognition. More particularly, the present invention relates to computer speech recognition performed by conducting a prefix tree search of a silence bracketed lexicon.
The most successful current speech recognition systems employ probabilistic models known as hidden Markov models (HMMs). A hidden Markov model includes a plurality of states, wherein a transition probability is defined for each transition from each state to every state, including transitions to the same state. An observation is probabilistically associated with each unique state. The transition probabilities between states (the probabilities that an observation will transition from one state to the next) are not all the same. Therefore, a search technique, such as a Viterbi algorithm, is employed in order to determine a most likely state sequence for which the overall probability is maximum, given the transition probabilities between states and the observation probabilities.
A sequence of state transitions can be represented, in a known manner, as a path through a trellis diagram that represents all of the states of the HMM over a sequence of observation times. Therefore, given an observation sequence, a most likely path through the trellis diagram (i.e., the most likely sequence of states represented by an HMM) can be determined using a Viterbi algorithm.
In current speech recognition systems, speech has been viewed as being generated by a hidden Markov process. Consequently, HMMs have been employed to model observed sequences of speech spectra, where specific spectra are probabilistically associated with a state in an HMM. In other words, for a given observed sequence of speech spectra, there is a most likely sequence of states in a corresponding HMM.
This corresponding HMM is thus associated with the observed sequence. This technique can be extended, such that if each distinct sequence of states in the HMM is associated with a sub-word unit, such as a phoneme, then a most likely sequence of sub-word units can be found. Moreover, using models of how sub-word units are combined to form words, then using language models of how words are combined to form sentences, complete speech recognition can be achieved.
When actually processing an acoustic signal, the signal is typically sampled in sequential time intervals called frames. The frames typically include a plurality of samples and may overlap or be contiguous. Each frame is associated with a unique portion of the speech signal. The portion of the speech signal represented by each frame is analyzed to provide a corresponding acoustic vectors. During speech recognition, a search is performed for the state sequence most likely to be associated with the sequence of acoustic vectors.
In order to find the most likely sequence of states corresponding to a sequence of acoustic vectors, the Viterbi algorithm is employed. The Viterbi algorithm performs a computation which starts at the first frame and proceeds one frame at a time, in a time-synchronous manner. A probability score is computed for each state in the state sequences (i.e., the HMMs) being considered. Therefore, a cumulative probability score is successively computed for each of the possible state sequences as the Viterbi algorithm analyzes the acoustic signal frame by frame. By the end of an utterance, the state sequence (or HMM or series of HMMs) having the highest probability score computed by the Viterbi algorithm provides the most likely state sequence for the entire utterance. The most likely state sequence is then converted into a corresponding spoken subword unit, word, or word sequence.
The Viterbi algorithm reduces an exponential computation to one that is proportional to the number of states and transitions in the model and the length of the utterance. However, for a large vocabulary, the number of states and transitions becomes large and the computation required to update the probability score at each state in each frame for all possible state sequences takes many times longer than the duration of one frame, which is typically approximately 10 milliseconds in duration.
Thus, a technique called pruning, or beam searching, has been developed to greatly reduce computation needed to determine the most likely state sequence. This type of technique eliminates the need to compute the probability score for state sequences that are very unlikely. This is typically accomplished by comparing, at each frame, the probability score for each remaining state sequence (or potential sequence) under consideration with the largest score associated with that frame. If the probability score of a state for a particular potential sequence is sufficiently low (when compared to the maximum computed probability score for the other potential sequences at that point in time) the pruning algorithm assumes that it will be unlikely that such a low scoring state sequence will be part of the completed, most likely state sequence. The comparison is typically accomplished using a minimum threshold value. Potential state sequences having a score that falls below the minimum threshold value are removed from the searching process. The threshold value can be set at any desired level, based primarily on desired memory and computational savings, and a desired error rate increase caused by memory and computational savings.
Another conventional technique for further reducing the magnitude of computation required for speech recognition includes the use of a prefix tree. A prefix tree represents the lexicon of the speech recognition system as a tree structure wherein all of the words likely to be encountered by the system are represented in the tree structure.
In such a prefix tree, each subword unit (such as a phoneme) is typically represented by a branch which is associated with a particular phonetic model (such as an HMM). The phoneme branches are connected, at nodes, to subsequent phoneme branches. All words in the lexicon which share the same first phoneme share the same first branch. All words which have the same first and second phonemes share the same first and second branches. By contrast, words which have a common first phoneme, but which have different second phonemes, share the same first branch in the prefix tree but have second branches which diverge at the first node in the prefix tree, and so on. The tree structure continues in such a fashion such that all words likely to be encountered by the system are represented by the end nodes of the tree (i.e., the leaves on the tree).
It is apparent that, by employing a prefix tree structure, the number of initial branches will be far fewer than the typical number of words in the lexicon or vocabulary of the system. In fact, the number of initial branches cannot exceed the total number of phonemes (approximately 40-50), regardless of the size of the vocabulary or lexicon being searched. Although if allophonic variations are used, then the initial number of branches could be large, depending on the allophones used.
This type of structure lends itself to a number of significant advantages. For example, given the small number of initial branches in the tree, it is possible to consider the beginning of all words in the lexicon, even if the vocabulary is very large, by evaluating the probability of each of the possible first phonemes. Further, using pruning, a number of the lower probability phoneme branches can be eliminated very early in the search. Therefore, while the second level of the tree has many more branches than the first level, the number of branches which are actually being considered (i e., the number of hypotheses), is also reduced over the number of possible branches.
Speech recognition systems employing the above techniques can typically be classified in two types. The first type is a continuous speech recognition (CSR) system which is capable of recognizing fluent speech. The second type of system is an isolated speech recognition (ISR) system which is typically employed to recognize only isolated speech (or discreet speech), but which is also typically more accurate and efficient than continuous speech recognition systems because the search space is generally smaller. Also, isolated speech recognition systems have been thought of as a special case of continuous speech recognition, because continuous speech recognition systems generally can accept isolated speech as well. They simply do not perform as well when attempting to recognize isolated speech.
Silence information plays a role in both systems. To date, both types of speech recognition systems have treated silence as a special word in the lexicon. The silence word participates in the normal search process so that it can be inserted between words as it is recognized.
However, it is known that considering word transitions in a speech recognition system is a computationally intensive and costly process. Therefore, in an isolated speech recognition system in which silence is treated as a separate word, the transition from the silence word to all other words in the lexicon must be considered, as well as the transition from all words in the lexicon (or all remaining words at the end of the search) to the silence word.
Further, in continuous speech recognition systems, even if the system has identified that the speaker is speaking discretely, or in an isolated fashion, the CSR system still considers hypotheses which do not have silence between words. This leads to a tendency to improperly break one word into two or more words. Of course, this results in a higher error rate than would otherwise be expected. Moreover, it is computationally inefficient since it still covers part of the search space which belongs to continuous speech but not isolated speech.
In addition to employing the silence phone as a separate word in the lexicon, conventional modeling of the silence phone has also led to problems and errors in prior speech recognition systems. It is widely believed that silence is independent of context. Thus, silence has been modeled in conventional speech recognition systems regardless of context. In other words, the silence phone has been modeled the same, regardless of the words or subword units that precede or follow it. This not only decreases the accuracy of the speech recognition system, but also renders it less efficient than it could be with modeling in accordance with the present invention.
A speech recognition system recognizes speech based on an input data stream indicative of the speech. Possible words represented by the input data stream are provided as a prefix tree including a plurality of phoneme branches connected at nodes. The plurality of phoneme branches are bracketed by at least one input silence branch corresponding to a silence phone on an input side of the prefix tree and at least one output silence branch corresponding to a silence phone on an output side of the prefix tree.
In one preferred embodiment, a plurality of silence branches are provided in the prefix tree. The plurality of silence branches represent context dependent silence phones.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the speech recognition system includes both a continuous speech recognition system lexicon, and an isolated speech recognition system lexicon. The system switches between using the CSR lexicon and the ISR lexicon based upon a type of speech then being employed by the user of the system.

Array of Chaos Part 2: LOVE

There are few moments in life you always despise, the
moments when you can’t interpret your own thoughts, you can’t identify with
yourself. This article is written in one of such weak moments, since these
moments are characterized by the fuzziness of thoughts which offer no such
underlying relations, thus the article lacks a unifying theme in itself and is
more of a realization of various unrelated emotions. This is second part of the article which has been trisected

#LOVE

Love always poses a pertinent question “Whether what I feel
is love?” But then the question is ambiguous as we can never clearly state what
love is; it’s just a word in its own, the emotions you associate with it truly
defines what the word signifies for you and even then this definition is
subject to modification for a person as well, ‘What we felt was a divine bond
few years ago may seem like an infatuation later’. I can never be an authority to tell what love
really is; maybe I still don’t know myself. But it is worth sharing the forms
of love I have come across which clear defies those ideal definition of I have
heard of. Significance of love at
different times in our lives is tumultuous, in spite of this, we never get tired of seeking love, may
be because love is an extreme form of the social acceptance we seek. It is
difficult to overlook the extent to which the idea of love, the unification of
thoughts, the intertwining of life, appeal to our senses. It’s useless to argue
what love really is, and its meaning should be left to individual’s discretion.
But one thing is for sure, no one is certain when they are in love according to
their own understanding as well, so what
most of us do is we make ourselves believe that we are in love, and may be this
ability to make ourselves believe that we are in love with someone is what love
truly is.

If experiencing the unpleasant can trigger gleeful memories of past, then that spell in past must have been extraordinarily cheerful.
When I last wrote a blog, I was still in college. Writing a blog was one of the leisure I could pursue given the luxury of time. But more importantly, writing a blog was testimony of my naive belief that an idea should always be expressed and mere expression of a thought can spark a change in itself. Such were those days. Today I am writing to pay reverence to a time when to me world still appeared to be salvable (I am not certain of it being a word, but it suited my purpose the most). "I am pissing steam"

It all started with today's fucking cold weather in Bangalore. Yes, to my surprise, it does get chilly here. Though, it is not really worrisome, but it did get me thinking about the steam pissing cold ( as Tanuj would put it) we used to have in the campus. Those were the times when I used to leave a laptop under my blanket with Call …

"For all its faults we love this city." - The city of Djinns
The thought of spending a couple weeks in Delhi in mid-April is something most people would dread and yet, I was brimming with excitement and anticipation. To me, it presented an opportunity to break away from the monotonic work culture of Bangalore and to reminisce about the old days with my college wing-mate in the city I once used to call my second home. Now, while sitting in my return flight to Bangalore, I am penning down my memoir of this trip to Delhi. Heat, Warmth and Hotheads
Summer heat was the first thing I sensed after stepping out of my flight in Delhi. This experience completely wiped out whatever tranquil effect was lingering on from the mesmerising aerial view of the city from my flight- ’ The floating island of lights in the sea of darkness' . I estimated the temperature in Delhi at the moment - validated it using the Accuweather app and registered the fact that Delhi nights were hotter than …

If you are unable to notice the apparent irony in the aforementioned

a society where notions of secularism are derived from political acuity and
intellectual hypocrisy. The term secular has been frequently in a skewed sense
by the government in order to justify controversial policies, political parties
to procure votes, by intellectuals to exhibit religious tolerance and
sensitivity and the revered media to denounce the so-called ‘non-secular

been meddling with the idea of secularism is such a way that it is being
misconstrued by the majority of commoners. For decades, policies have been amended,
minorities have been appeased and vote banks have been secured in the name of secularism.

About Me

I believe nothing is definitive and thus, I can't really describe how I am. In actuality, how I am to X will certainly differ from how I am to Y. However, due to concurrence of opinion a majority of such X and Ys (my friends) I am forced to believe that I do possess certain traits which is witnessed by most of them. It is indisputable that I am more serious than I should be.
I am dogmatic(they all say and I always disagree, which eventually confirms their acquisition). I am weird and boring(disputable). However everything mentioned can be false as well. It depends on how much you know me..and frankly speaking you never know enough.

Un homme de 58 ans a été condamné vendredi par un tribunal britannique à la perpétuité pour le meurtre de sa nièce, âgée de 25 ans. Christopher Wall était accusé d'avoir frappé Hayley, qui était aussi sa compagne, avec un écran plat et possiblement une porte dégondée, rapporte la BBC .

La jeune femme avait été découverte, blessée, dans une rue de Bournemouth où elle vivait, en décembre dernier. Elle avait succombé à ses blessures neuf jours plus tard.

Deux semaines de procès

Christopher Wall a été déclaré coupable après un procès de deux semaines. Il devra passer un minimum de 14 années derrière les barreaux.

Au moment de la sentence, le juge a précisé à l'accusé: "Vous aviez l'impression que vous étiez amoureux. Mais tout ceci est arrivé car votre relation était explosive, marquée par les coups et la violence."

L'oncle dit s'être défendu

L'oncle quinquagénaire aurait expliqué s'être défendu après que sa "compagne" l'a frappé avec une paire de ciseaux. Des coupures en ce sens ont été observées sur ces mains et son dos. "J'ai répondu à l'agression", s'est-il défaussé.

Avant de mourir, Hayley aurait déclaré aux médecins qui la soignaient que son oncle l'avait frappée avec le téléviseur. Celui-ci, cassé, a été découvert dans le logement qu'ils occupaient. Des traces de sang ont été retrouvées dans la chambre et la salle de bain.

La famille dit ne pas être au courant de cette relation incestueuse

La famille de Hayley, apprenant sa mort, a indiqué ne pas être au courant de la relation incestueuse qu'elle entretenait avec son oncle. "Si nous avions su, nous aurions tout fait pour l'empêcher, a-t-elle déclaré, selon le site Somerset Live (en anglais). Nous nous demanderons toujours si nous aurions pu éviter cela et nous sentirons toujours coupable pour cela."


1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to electro-optical devices for directing the propagation of light energy and, more particularly, concerns light guiding apparatus for multiplexing and demultiplexing data conveyed by propagating light streams.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Arrangements for guiding multimode optical beams within plates of electro-optical materials such as LiTaO.sub.3, LiNbO.sub.3, or the like have been discussed by the present inventor and his associates in the technical paper: "Electro-Optic Channel Waveguide Modulator for Multimode Fibers," Applied Physics Letters, Volume 28, No. 6, Mar. 15, 1976, page 321. In such devices, opposed metal strip electrodes may be affixed to both major faces of the transparent electro-optically active plate. Light is coupled into and out of the plate by glass fiber guides abutting at normal incidence the ends of the active plate adjacent opposide ends of the electrodes. Small refractive index changes produced in the electro-optic plate when suitable voltages are applied to the opposed electrodes control propagation of light from the input fiber guide with respect to an output fiber guide. Thus, modulators, hybrid couplers, and switches have been devised using various configurations of such guided wave optical systems. Also, multiplexing and demultiplexing devices have been formed by combining a plurality of electrically switchable three-port hybrid couplers. Two such switchable hybrid couplers may be combined to form a high-isolation single-pole, double throw switch, while N such couplers may be employed to generate an electrically controllable N:1 multiplexer or demultiplexer.
Electrically switchable three-port optical hybrid couplers exist in the prior art. However, with the exception of the coupler described by the present inventor and his associates in the technical paper: "Multimode Achromatic Electro-Optic Waveguide Switch for Fiber-Optic Communications," Applied Physics Letters, Volume 28, No. 12, June 15, 1976, page 716, these prior art switchable hybrid couplers generally operate only with a single mode of optical energy propagation and therefore do not have certain desirable structural features and the consequent advantages of the multimode coupler. The switchable multimode coupler of the latter technical paper is again provided with input and output fibers and with pairs of electrodes that are electrically decoupled by a gap therebetween to establish a main optical channel and a branching channel. A voltage is applied to the main channel electrodes across the thickness of the crystal in a manner to induce a refractive index increase and to form a light wave guide under the same electrodes. With no voltage or a reverse voltage applied to the branch guide electrodes, light energy does not significantly couple to the branch channel. When a voltage is applied to the branch guide electrodes, the light energy propagating in the main channel is caused to divide between the two optical channels.
These and other electro-optically switchable multimode devices may be used according to the present invention to afford efficient multiplexer or demultiplexer devices. For example, a further switchable coupler device suitable for the present purpose is presented in the A. R. Nelson U.S. patent application Ser. No. 796,103, filed May 12, 1977 for an "Electro-Optic Multiplexer with High Interchannel Isolation" and assigned to Sperry Rand Corporation. This latter device employs input and output fiber guides coupled to optical barrier wave guides formed by the application of voltages to electrodes positioned on the top and bottom surfaces of an electro-optic crystal to decrease the refractive index in the crystal between the electrodes and thus to form optical wave guides which are outlined by the electrodes. The electrodes may be positioned, for example, to form a main optical wave guide, a branch optical wave guide, and an optical gate at the intersection of the main and branch wave guides. Coupling of optical energy from the main wave guide to the branch wave guide is accomplished by removing the voltage from the gate electrode, thus eliminating the barrier existing between the two wave guides. Optical energy may be switched between the two wave guides by providing a second gate electrode in the main wave guide path and alternately applying a voltage between the two gate electrodes.
These and other switchable coupler devices, whether single or multimode, generally require relatively large voltages and power levels for excitation of the switching electrodes. These voltage levels, being of the order of 400 volts, for example, represent a principle limitation to the utility of prior electrically switchable devices with respect to, for instance, switches, multiplexers, and demultiplexers of the surface wave type. To realize a truly competitive optical multiplexer design, the low switching voltage levels available from simple conventional semiconductor driver stages are needed, levels such as about five volts. While the optical requirements for multiplexing will be reasonably well met by available prior art switchable optical couplers, the voltage and consequent power requirements have not been economically met. It is therefore the primary object of the present invention to provide a system for operating electrically switched coupler devices in optical multiplexers and demultiplexers such that relatively low excitation or switching voltages and low power may be efficiently employed.

Studies of the biogenic amine transporters. V. Demonstration of two binding sites for the cocaine analog [125I]RTI-55 associated with the 5-HT transporter in rat brain membranes.
Earlier work characterized the binding of the high-affinity cocaine analog 3 beta-(4-125iodophenyl)-tropane-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester ([125I]RTI-55) to membranes prepared from rat caudate. That investigation demonstrated that [125I]RTI-55-labeled serotonin (5-HT) transporters in addition to dopamine (DA) transporters and resolved [125I]RTI-55 binding to 5-HT transporters into two distinct components. In the present study, we characterized [125I]RTI-55 binding to membranes prepared from whole rat brain minus caudate. The first series of experiments established that [125I]RTI-55 labels both DA and 5-HT transporters and that 50 nM paroxetine and either 1000 nM 1-[2-(diphenylmethoxy)ethyl]-4-(3-phenylpropyl)homopiperazine (LR1111) or 500 nM (RTI-120) could be used to block [125I]RTI-55 binding to the 5-HT and DA transporters, thereby generating selective assay conditions for the DA and 5-HT transporters, respectively. Selective lesioning of dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons with intracerebroventricular 6-hydroxydopamine and 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine selectively decreased [125I]RTI-55 binding to DA and 5-HT transporters, respectively, thereby confirming the selectivity of the assay conditions. The ligand-selectivity pattern of the whole brain minus caudate 5-HT transporter correlated significantly with that of the caudate 5-HT transporter, although there were some striking differences for selected test agents. Additional experiments resolved [125I]RTI-55 binding to the 5-HT transporter into two components. A ligand-selectivity analysis of the two components failed to identify a highly selective test agent. In summary, the major findings of the present study are that [125I]RTI-55 labels both DA and 5-HT transporters in membranes prepared from whole brain minus caudate, that 50 nM paroxetine and either 1000 nM LR1111 or 500 nM RTI-120 can be used as a blocking agent to generate selective assay conditions for the DA and 5-HT transporters, respectively, and that [125I]RTI-55 binding to the 5-HT transporter can be resolved into two similar components.

3.1 Software libraries and toolkits

More recently, particularly in work on fully generic spacetimes, where all three spatial dimensions must
be treated numerically, there has been a strong trend towards the use of higher-level software libraries and
modular “computational toolkits” such as Cactus[74] (http://www.cactuscode.org). These have a
substantial learning overhead, but can allow researchers to work much more productively by focusing more
on numerical relativity instead of computer-science and software-engineering issues such as parameter-file
parsing, parallelization, I/O, etc.

A particularly important area for such software infrastructure is mesh
refinement5.
This is essential to much current numerical-relativity research but is moderately difficult to implement even
in only one spatial dimension, and much harder in multiple spatial dimensions. There are now a number of
software libraries providing multi-dimensional mesh-refinement infrastructure (sometimes combined with
parallelization), such as those listed in Table 1. The Cactus toolkit can be used in either unigrid or
mesh-refinement modes, the latter using a “mesh-refinement driver” such as PAGH or Carpet[134, 131]
(http://www.carpetcode.org).

In this review I point out event and apparent horizon finders which have been written in particular
frameworks and comment on whether they work with mesh refinement.


**Are you the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf?**
Yes, I'm [private] of the ICS_SCAN Project. My account name is [private] when I push the project as a master, but recently, I have changed my name to [private] because the press to me. I delete the master and the first fork of my ICS_SCAN become the master. Maybe you can find that what I say is true in my history operations.
**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.**
I pushed my ICS_SCAN in June,2018, I cannot remember clearly about the exact time. And many people forked the ICS_SCAN. But recently, my company tell me that the code is a secret project and they will abuse me if I donnot get the code down. I first make the project to private. Then I donnot keep it, so I delete the project. But I find the first fork became the master, so the code canbe found in the internet even I delete my code. And there are many forks of my ICS_SCAN. I beg you to help me to delete all the forks, because I donnot want to the code spread in the internet, Or I will be abused.
Before I rename my account and delete the respo, the URL is [private], now I delete it, this become 404. Maybe you can confirm it by check the history. Thank you. And I am really nervous about it.
**What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL:**

Hoffman, J.

         {¶1}   Appellants Smith-Kadey, LLC and Jerry Smith appeal the judgment entered

by the Ashland Municipal Court awarding Appellee Companions of Ashland, LLC attorney

fees and costs in the amount of $17,977.00.

                            STATEMENT OF THE FACTS AND CASE

         {¶2}   Tiffany Behrendsen is the owner of Appellee. Appellant Jerry Smith is part

owner of Appellant Smith-Kadey, LLC. From 2004 to 2012, Behrendsen was employed

by Smith, working for his businesses and assisting in the administration of nursing homes.

While employed by Smith, Behrendsen started her own separate business, Appellee in

the instant case.

         {¶3}   Appellee leased space from Appellants in two locations in Ashland.

Appellee expanded to Mansfield, leasing space in a building owned and managed by

Smith.

         {¶4}   Smith has an interest in a business named “Care Companions of Ohio,”

which provides similar services to Appellee, training nurse’s aides. Initially Smith and

Behrendsen had an amicable business relationship, exchanging clients their businesses

were unable to serve, with Appellee sending nurse’s aides to complete clinicals at nursing

homes operated by Smith.

         {¶5}   Behrendsen left her employment with Smith in 2012, to focus solely on

operating Appellee. Thereafter, Smith considered Appellee to be a competitor which

threatened his businesses.

         {¶6}   Appellee stopped sending nurse’s aide trainees for clinicals in Smith’s

nursing homes. Smith became upset with Behrendsen, threatening, “I have more money
Ashland County, Case No. 18-COA-008, 18-COA-009                                         3

than you, you do not want to go down this road, you will be sorry if you do.” He demanded

she fire the employee who recommended Appellee no longer send trainees to Smith’s

facilities. Behrendsen declined to fire the employee.

       {¶7}   Smith pressured Behrendsen to eliminate the word “Companions” from her

business name, despite the fact the word is frequently used in names of home health care

businesses. Smith told her if she would stop using “Companions” in her business name,

“we’ll make ‘this’ all go away.”

       {¶8}   Smith harassed Behrendsen and Appellee for at least four years with phone

calls, text messages, and lawsuits, and by interfering with her business relationships.

Because of Smith’s conduct, Appellee vacated the property in Mansfield. At the time she

signed the lease in Mansfield, Smith assured her it was identical to the leases she

previously signed in Ashland. However, the Mansfield lease included a vague non-

compete clause in an attempt to restrict Appellee from competing with Smith’s

businesses. A lawsuit ensued in Richland County wherein Smith and his wife sued

Behrendsen. The Richland County Common Pleas Court found the non-compete clause

invalid. Ultimately the case was settled and dimissed.

       {¶9}   In September of 2013, Smith served a three-day eviction notice on Appellee

for one of the Ashland properties. The notice did not mention unpaid rent as the basis for

the eviction, and ultimately Appellants did not pursue the eviction.

       {¶10} On March 15, 2016, Appellants served on Appellee notice to leave the

premises as to both Ashland properties. The notice gave non-payment of rent for eight

months, totaling $20,088.00, as the reason for the eviction. Evictions actions were filed

as to both leased properties on March 22, 2016.
Ashland County, Case No. 18-COA-008, 18-COA-009                                          4

      {¶11} Appellee supplied proof of rent payments for several of the months in

question, which Appellants refused to acknowledge. Appellants did not amend their

complaints, and continued to pursue both actions. Appellee could not produce records

demonstrating it had paid rent for three of the months in question: December 2008, July

2009, and October 2009. Smith waived rent for December of 2008, as it was Appellee’s

first month in business. The parties stipulated rent was unpaid for July and October of

2009, in the total amount of $5,000.00.

      {¶12} Following a hearing before a magistrate in the Ashland Municipal Court, the

magistrate found Appellants waived the three-day notice to vacate by accepting rent

payments following service of the notice. The magistrate recommended the eviction

actions be dismissed, Appellants be granted judgment for two months rent as stipulated

by the parties, the claim for delinquent rent for December of 2008 be dismissed,

Appellee’s counterclaim for unfair competition be dismissed, and Appellee’s request for

attorney fees be heard if properly brought before the court. Neither party objected to the

decision of the magistrate, and the court entered judgment in accordance with the

magistrate’s decision.

      {¶13} Appellee filed a motion for attorney fees and cost for frivolous conduct. After

a hearing before the magistrate, the magistrate found Appellants’ eviction actions were

based on a factual contention which had no evidentiary support and were not warranted

under existing law. The magistrate found Appellants’ conduct in filing factually untrue

allegations, seeking forfeiture after clear waiver, and attempting to terminate the lease

was motivated by an improper purpose to unfairly destroy, damage or harass Appellee.

The magistrate determined Appellee met its burden of proof to demonstrate Appellants’
Ashland County, Case No. 18-COA-008, 18-COA-009                                           5

subjective intent was to annoy, harass, and maliciously injure Appellee. Accordingly, the

magistrate found Appellants’ conduct was frivolous under R.C. 2323.51, justifying an

award of attorney fees. The magistrate found Appellee is entitled to an award of fees in

the amount of $8,250.00 to Attorney Lang and in the amount of $6,730.00 to Attorney De

Santo, and Appellee further was entitled to reimbursement from Appellants for the

expense of transcribing the trial transcript in the amount of $2,997.00.

       {¶14} Appellants filed objections to the magistrate’s decision. The court overruled

all objections and entered judgment in accordance with the magistrate’s decision.

       {¶15} It is from the January 16, 2018 judgment of the court Appellants prosecute

their appeal, assigning as error:

              THE TRIAL COURT ERRED IN FINDING PLAINTIFFS’ CONDUCT

       TO BE FRIVOLOUS AND AWARDING ATTORNEY FEES AND COST.

       {¶16} Appellants first argue the court erred in hearing both cases, and all causes

of action together, rather than bifurcating the forcible entry and detainer actions from the

claims for unpaid rent.

       {¶17} R.C. 1923.081 provides:

              A trial in an action for forcible entry and detainer for residential

       premises, other than an action against a deceased resident of a

       manufactured home park, or for a storage space at a self-service storage
Ashland County, Case No. 18-COA-008, 18-COA-009                                              6

       facility, as defined in division (A) of section 5322.01 of the Revised Code,

       pursuant to this chapter may also include a trial on claims of the plaintiff for

       past due rent and other damages under a rental agreement, unless for good

       cause shown the court continues the trial on those claims. For purposes of

       this section, good cause includes the request of the defendant to file an

       answer or counterclaim to the claims of the plaintiff or for discovery, in which

       case the proceedings shall be the same in all respects as in other civil

       cases. If, at the time of the trial, the defendant has filed an answer or

       counterclaim, the trial may proceed on the claims of the plaintiff and the

       defendant. A plaintiff who is a park operator may seek a judgment for past

       due rent and other damages under a rental agreement against a deceased

       manufactured home park resident in a separate civil action for damages.

       {¶18} Appellants argue the court should have proceeded in a summary nature on

their claim for eviction, citing Smith v. Wright, 65 Ohio App. 2d 101, 416 N.E.2d 655 (8th

Dist. Cuyahoga 1979) and Haney v. Roberts, 130 Ohio App. 3d 293, 720 N.E.2d 101 (4th

Dist. Scioto 1998) for the proposition while R.C. 1923.081 permits joinder of forcible entry

and detainer actions with related actions for damages, such joinder was not intended to

alter the summary nature of forcible entry and detainer actions.

       {¶19} However, the record is devoid of any objection to the proceeding employed

by the trial court. Further, Appellants failed to file objections to the magistrate’s report of

March 24, 2017, which disposed of the underlying claims for eviction and rent, and has

therefore waived any claim of error on appeal. Civ. R. 53(D)(3)(b)(iv).
Ashland County, Case No. 18-COA-008, 18-COA-009                                              7

       {¶20} Appellants next argue the award of fees was not properly itemized as to the

separate causes, and further the fees were not specifically identifiable as the result of the

frivolous conduct.

       {¶21} On several occasions, Appellants indicated to the court they would stipulate

to fees as demonstrated by invoices from the attorneys involved in the case. Tr. (7/25/17)

5-7, 111-113. The doctrine of invited error provides “a party is not permitted to take

advantage of an error that he himself invited or induced the court to make.” Bd. of Clark

Cty. Commrs. v. Newberry, 2nd Dist. Clark No. 2002–CA–15, 2002-Ohio-6087, at ¶ 16,

quoting Davis v. Wolfe, 92 Ohio St.3d 549, 552, 751 N.E.2d 1051 (2001). By stipulating

to fees at the hearing, Appellants have not only waived any error, they invited the court

to award fees based on the affidavits and invoices submitted by Attorneys Lang and

DeSanto. We note the court did not award the full amount of fees set forth in the invoices.

Findings of Fact 76-79.

       {¶22} Finally, Appellants argue the court erred in finding their conduct frivolous

because Appellee stipulated to owing back rent in the amount of $5,000. They further

argue again the court erred in hearing all causes of actions concurrently and mixing the

cases, while at the same time arguing “[t]here was no delay in the cases or a needless

increase in the cost of litigation since the trial court heard all causes of action together.”

       {¶23} R.C. 2323.51(A)(2)(a) defines frivolous conduct:

              (2) “Frivolous conduct” means either of the following:

              (a) Conduct of an inmate or other party to a civil action, of an inmate

       who has filed an appeal of the type described in division (A)(1)(b) of this
Ashland County, Case No. 18-COA-008, 18-COA-009                                            8

      section, or of the inmate's or other party's counsel of record that satisfies

      any of the following:

             (i) It obviously serves merely to harass or maliciously injure another

      party to the civil action or appeal or is for another improper purpose,

      including, but not limited to, causing unnecessary delay or a needless

      increase in the cost of litigation.

             (ii) It is not warranted under existing law , cannot be supported by a

      good faith argument for an extension, modification, or reversal of existing

      law, or cannot be supported by a good faith argument for the establishment

      of new law.

             (iii) The conduct consists of allegations or other factual contentions

      that have no evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, are not likely

      to have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further

      investigation or discovery.

             (iv) The conduct consists of denials or factual contentions that are

      not warranted by the evidence or, if specifically so identified, are not

      reasonably based on a lack of information or belief.

      {¶24} The initial decision of whether a party's conduct is frivolous is a factual

determination, particularly if the alleged conduct was intended to harass or maliciously

injure. Ceol v. Zion Indus., Inc., 81 Ohio App.3d 286, 291, 610 N.E.2d 1076, 1078–1079

(1992). Because the trial judge has the benefit of observing the course of proceedings

and is familiar with the parties and attorneys involved, a reviewing court is obligated to
Ashland County, Case No. 18-COA-008, 18-COA-009                                             9

defer to the trial court's findings that one party harassed or injured another. Id. at 292,

610 N.E.2d at 1079–1080.

       {¶25} The magistrate specifically found, as noted by the trial court, the testimony

of Behrendsen and other witnesses who testified on behalf of Appellee to be credible,

while finding the testimony of Appellant Smith to lack credibility. The decision of the

magistrate on the underlying action, which as noted above Appellants failed to object to,

was incorporated into the magistrate’s decision in the instant case. In that decision the

court found Appellants waived the forcible entry and detainer action by accepting rent for

a period of eight years after the alleged violation of the lease agreement for non-payment

of rent. The court further found Appellants could have sued Appellee for the $5,000 due

in back rent without filing eviction actions. Following the hearing on frivolous conduct, the

court found Appellants’ claims for eight months of unpaid rent were false, as they had no

records to support their claims, while Appellee was able to prove payment of five month’s

rent and waiver of an additional month’s rent. The court further found Appellants conduct

in filing factually untrue allegations and seeking forfeiture after clear waiver was motivated

by an improper purpose to destroy, damage, or harass Appellee and Behrendsen. The

court found Appellants’ purpose was to destroy Appellee’s ability to fairly compete.

       {¶26} We find no error in the finding Appellants engaged in frivolous conduct.

Appellants do not argue the court’s finding they harassed or injured Appellee is

unsupported by the evidence. The eviction action was clearly waived by acceptance of

rent. Further, while claiming Appellee owed rent for eight months, Appellants had no

records to support their claim. While the parties ultimately stipulated to two months back

rent due, the evidence throughout the case supports the court’s conclusion the instant
Ashland County, Case No. 18-COA-008, 18-COA-009                                   10

action was an attempt to harass Appellee and Behrendsen in order to prevent Appellee

from competing with Appellants’ own businesses. The assignment of error is overruled.

The judgment of the Ashland Municipal Court is affirmed.

[Vitrification of oocytes and embryos: the law, the results, the future].
The French bio ethical law published in 2004 did not authorize the transfer of embryos submitted to a research program, or even issued from gametes concerned by an experimentation. Vitrification process was still considered as an "experimental" technique; thus it was impossible to vitrify either oocytes or embryos, whereas numerous international studies emphasized the interest of this technique for both oocytes and embryos, in particular if they were vitrified at the blastocyst stage. The new revised law (7/7/2011), clearly authorizes oocyte vitrification; moreover, studies intended to improve ART efficiency, are now permitted, enabling vitrification of embryos.


Snake bite envenomation in Ecuador.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the burden of snake bite in Ecuador and to identify the difficulties of snake bite management in Ecuadorian health facilities. A survey based on national health statistics was carried out in Ecuador to estimate the overall incidence and mortality due to snake bites. During the period 1998-2007, the average annual incidence and mortality was respectively 11 and 0.5 per 100 000 inhabitants. The at-risk population was represented mainly by males aged 10-54 years. Snake bite incidence increased during the rainy season and El Niño. According to one data source, the majority of snake bites occurred in the coastal region (56%) compared with the Amazonian rainforest (11%) and the highlands (33%). This geographical variation in snake bite incidence may reflect the distribution of venomous snakes and human population densities and activities. This preliminary national survey on the incidence of the envenomings due to snake bite in Ecuador showed a stable incidence over the time period studied but was heterogeneous in the three geographical regions of Ecuador. The incidence and mortality were higher in the lowland humid regions where Bothrops species are abundant.
