Q:

Getting the last token of a macro argument

It is easy to get the first token of a macro argument.  Ignoring some irrelevant complications, you do something like this:
\def\firsttokof#1{\first(#1)}
\def\first(#1#2){#1}

It's equally easy to get all the remaining tokens after the first one:
\def\nonfirsttoksof#1{\rest(#1)}
\def\rest(#1#2){#2}

As I understand it, this is because TeX does pattern matching from left to right, taking the shortest possible match.  In \first and \rest, the shortest possible match for #1 will always be a single token.
But how can you get the last token of a macro argument?

A:

Assuming that you need only parameterless macros, here's a way that recognizes also a trailing space or closed brace.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{expl3,l3regex}

\def\B{ab{c}}

\def\D{ab\linebreak}

\velleman_grab_last:N \A
\velleman_grab_last:N \B
\velleman_grab_last:N \C
\velleman_grab_last:N \D

\ExplSyntaxOff

With the help of \regex_replace_once:nnN we leave in \l_velleman_test the last item in the "meaning" of the control sequence. Then we sort out the cases.
In the case the last item is a space, another check has to be done; we keep also the last but one item; if it's a brace then the last item is surely a space; otherwise we look whether it's a control sequence.
There is still some small problem, but this should be enough for a start. For example the macros don't work for \space and the last test is inaccurate if the trailing space follows a control symbol.

A:

With all due respect to egreg's impressive answer, I think reversing the token list and grabbing the now-first argument might be slightly easier albeit less general:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{expl3}
\begin{document}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\cs_new:Npn \my_tl_last:N #1
  {
    \tl_reverse:N #1
    \tl_head:N #1
  }
\tl_set:Nn \l_tmpa_tl {ab{cd}ef}
\my_tl_last:N \l_tmpa_tl
\ExplSyntaxOff
\end{document}

Storing the result might need a slight alteration depending on what you're looking for…

A:

This answer is based on egreg's, simplified.  If one wants to get the last item (brace group or single non-space non-[begin/end]-group token) in a list of tokens, simply use \tl_item:Nn \foo { -1 }.  If one wants to get the last token, the easiest way is to use the (experimental) l3regex module, as egreg noted.  Here I define \velleman_get_last:nN, which expects two arguments: some tokens, and a control sequence in which to store the result.
In most cases, \regex_extract_once:nnN { . \Z } { <tokens> } \result will do the trick: the regular expression means "any token (.), followed by the end (\Z) of the input ".  The line just below that converts from the result of \regex_extract_once:nnN (currently a sequence) to a token list.  The only case that needs to be treated specially is when the last token is an explicit end-group character.  This cannot be put into a macro to give the result: we test for that with \regex_match:nnTF { \cE. \Z }, where the regex means "a catcode (\c) end-group (E) token with arbitrary character code (.), followed by the end (\Z) of the input", and in that case, we put \c_group_end_token, an implicit end-group token, into the token list.

In the October-December 2010 issue of this journal, Abdulrahman *et al*.\[[@ref1]\] summarized their clinical experience with some of the available ureteral metal stents.

I gladly accepted to write this comment in order to clarify certain points which are confusing many if not all of our colleagues:

In today\'s nomenclature, "Stenting" is the use of a hollow device to create a pathway, support a structure, or opening of hollow organs that are partially or completely obstructed due to benign or malignant obstructive diseases. Under this description, also externally communicating urethral catheters or the double-J\'s which create a pathway should be called "stents", but they are not. The word "stent" cannot be found in a dictionary. It derives from the name of a British dentist, Charles Thomas Stent, lived in the 19^th^ century, who used metallic scaffolds for immobilizing tissues. Scaffolding tubular devices to tutor occluded blood vessels were introduced in the early 1980s and were named "stents" which became an accepted term in the medical vocabulary. What we call today ureteral double-J stents are in reality "intraureteral catheters" made of various polymers. The newcomer to this list is the Resonance, which is a bare metal, non-expandable double-J which does not have a lumen. None of the double-Js are scaffolding devices because of their small caliber. They just create a pathway but do not create a scaffold in the ureter. For this, they need to be large in caliber and have a large lumen. Studies demonstrated that the lumen of most double-J stents occlude within a few weeks and urine drains around the stent. The way the Resonance drains the kidney is quite speculative. Its caliber is 6 Fr. For giving its double-J shape, it has a centrally positioned metal wire filling almost all its luminal space. Drainage is obtained through capillary drainage around the spiral outer wall.

Then, there is a myth of conventional polyurethane stents crushing under the pressure of tumor. Although there are many reports on conventional polyurethane stents occluding in malignancies, to the best of my knowledge no one could show a case where such a stent crushed under the pressure of a tumor. External malignant compression on an ureter can occlude urine drainage, but cannot crush a polyurethane stent. The reason for failure of the polyurethane ureteral stents in malignant cases is because their lumen occludes early by debris and the peristent space occludes by the compressing/strangling tumor. In two separate studies, metal coil and metal coil reinforced ureteral stents were compared with conventional ureteral stents withstanding compression.\[[@ref2][@ref3]\]

Unfortunately, these comparisons were done using unrealistic conditions. In these studies, the stents compared were put and compressed between two metal surfaces. This is far from what happens in real life. No tumor is metal hard, and the way a tumor develops by cell division cannot be simulated by approximating two metal surfaces for crushing a stent.

Another point of confusion is the term of "chronic obstruction" describing an obstruction necessitating long-term stenting. There should be a separation between benign and malignant obstructions. There are clear differences in the occlusion mechanisms between an intrinsic pathology causing a benign obstruction, a primary or infiltrating ureteral malignancy and the compression of an extraureteral tumor. These differences are the cause of differences in success rates when double-J stent is used for benign and also malignant obstructions.

Ureteral stenoses necessitating long-term stenting are caused by intrinsic malignant disease of the ureter, compression, or infiltration of malignancies of the abdominal organs or by iatrogenic reasons such as trauma during ureteroscopy or gynecological accidents. Ureteral anastomoses or ureteral reimplantation to the bladder or bowel made reservoirs or conduits, ureteral ischemia during renal transplantation are additional reasons for the development of ureteral stenoses. Because of a lack of a better alternative and its affordable price, for restoring the obstructed urinary flow, currently small-caliber double-J ureteral stents which were developed more than 30 years ago are used. They have to be changed every 3-6 months.

Patients with chronic obstructions need stenting for long months, or even for years. Such patients need long-term stenting with nonoccluding large-caliber devices. During the recent years, new approaches for ureteral stenting have been tried.\[[@ref4]\] This brings the era of metal stents into urological practice. Theoretically, like in the vascular system, noncovered, large-caliber metal mesh stents (24-30 F) had to provide a relief also to ureteral obstructions. Several attempts to use large-caliber bare metal mesh wire vascular and biliary stents in the ureter failed. Tissue proliferation through their interstices causing restenosis limited their use. To prevent restenosis, drug-coated or covered vascular stents have been tried to be used as ureteric stents. Some of these stents had large migration rates (81.2% with the externally covered Passager compared to 22.2% with the internally covered Hemobahn endoprosthesis). The implanted Passager caused a "trumpet-like" ureteral narrowing above the proximal end of the stent indicating reactive tissue proliferation. With the Hemobahn stent hyperplastic tissue development at the end of the stent was reported in 27.7% of the cases.\[[@ref5][@ref6]\]

The function of the ureter completely differs from blood vessels. Blood vessels are almost inactive tubes allowing blood to flow forward. In contrast to this, the ureter has variable calibers all along its length and the flow of urine is obtained by its peristaltic function. This makes difficult to stent the ureters the way blood vessels are stented with vascular stents. Additionally, vascular stents are permanently implanted, where in the ureters most stents are for short- or long-term use, to be removed after a period of time.

Currently, three different metal ureteral devices which are approved for deobstructing the ureter are available. They are Memokath 051, the Resonance, and the Allium URS. Only the Memokath 051 and the most recent Allium URS can be called stents because of their large lumen. The Memokath has a nitinol made bare metal closed coiled body and a thermo-expandable bell-shaped end for anchoring. Its caliber is 10.5 F.\[[@ref7]\] The Allium URS has a nitinol made skeleton fully covered with a strong proprietary polymer made thin membrane giving its tubular shape. It comes in two calibers of 24 and 30 F. These stents have a main body with high-radial-force and softer end segments to reduce the development of obstructing reactive proliferative tissue. The stent also have a feature to make its easy endoscopic removal. It can be inserted either antegradely or endoscopically. The Resonance coiled metal double-J has a 6 F caliber without a distinct lumen.

Like any device in medicine stents also are not devoid of problems. The Memokath 051 and the Resonance have their inherent problems of reactive tissue proliferation at the ends of the stent, encrustation, and stone formation\[[@ref8]\] The nonsuitability of the Memokath 051 in benign ureteral obstructions were reported in the past.\[[@ref9]\] There are very large outcome differences between the limited number of papers published on the Resonance stents. Modi *et al*. reported a 38% failure rate. The authors recommended "vigilant monitoring" of the patients with a Resonance stent. Comparing these results with Liatsikos *et al*., 100% success in malignancy patients and 56% failure in benign ureteral stricture patients in 8.5 months are somehow confusing.\[[@ref8][@ref10]\]

The problem with these reports is that the failures are reported, but the reasons of the failure are not analyzed in depth. Such reports should include more details on the pathology, length and place of the stricture, infection, the need for pre-dilation, etc. This additional information can give us more clues to understand the reason for the different outcomes. During the 24^th^ Engineering and Urology Meeting in Chicago (2009), Clayman\'s group mentioning failures they had with the Resonance, checked the function of this stent in laboratory conditions. On the basis of this study, they reported that the Resonance may cause a clinically significant functional obstruction.\[[@ref11]\]

Reports on the Allium URS are very few. It seems that their geometry allows stent wall apposition to the ureteral wall for allowing intraluminal flow. However, when positioned in the ureteral orifice its migration has been reported in a recent presentation during the 28^th^ World Congress on Endourology held in Chicago (2010).

Hopefully, the organ specific new large-caliber ureteral stents will solve, if not all but most of the deficiencies of the current double-Js. However, their long-term efficacy will have to proven in large clinical studies.

Q:

Separable differential equation, answer correct?

I've tried to solve the following equation the way I've been taught:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y}{2x} $
$y'*\frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{2x} $
From the form $y'g(y) = f(x) $ we assign $g(x) = \frac{1}{y}$ and $f(x) = \frac{1}{2x}$.
Proceeding by rewriting the left hand side (where $G(y)$ is a primitive function of $g(y)$):
$\frac{d}{dx}G(y) = \frac{1}{2x}$
$G(y) = ln(y)$
$\frac{d}{dx}ln(y) = \frac{1}{2x}$
$ln(y) = \int\frac{1}{2x}dx$
$ln(y) = \frac{1}{2}\int\frac{1}{x}dx$
$ln(y) = \frac{ln(x)}{2} + C$
$ln(y) = ln(e^{(ln(x)/2) + C})$
$y = e^{(ln(x)/2) + C}$
Where the last line would be my answer. However the textbook says that the answer is as simple as $y^2 = Cx$. Am I doing it the wrong way?

A:

Hint: $y=e^{0.5\ln(x)+C}=e^{\ln(x^{0.5})+C}=x^{0.5}e^C$.
Rename $e^C=\sqrt{C_1}$ and you get $y=\sqrt{C_1}\sqrt{x}$. Square this expression and you get $y^2=C_1x$.

A:

Your answer is correct. Squaring both sides gives:
$$y^2=e^{\ln(x)+2C}\implies y^2=e^{\ln(x)}\cdot e^{2C}\implies y^2=x\cdot e^{2C}$$
Since $C$ is an arbitrary constant, you can substitute $k=e^{2C}$ to obtain your general solution.


Identify and analysis crotonylation sites in histone by using support vector machines.
Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a newly discovered histone posttranslational modification, which is specifically enriched at active gene promoters and potential enhancers in mammalian cell genomes. Although lysine crotonylation sites can be correctly identified with high-resolution mass spectrometry, the experimental methods are time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to develop computational methods to deal with this problem. We proposed a new encoding scheme named position weight amino acid composition to extract sequence information of histone around crotonylation sites. We chose protein data from Uniprot database. A series of steps were used to construct a strict and objective benchmark dataset for training and testing the proposed method. All samples were characterized by a significant number of features derived from position weight amino acid composition. The support vector machine was used to perform classification. Based on a series of experiments, we found that the sensitivity (Sn), specificity (Sp), accuracy (Acc), and Matthew's correlation coefficient (MCC) were respectively 71.69%, 98.7%, 94.43%, and 0.778 in jackknife cross-validation. Comparison results demonstrated that our proposed model was better than random forest algorithm. We also performed the feature analysis on samples. Identification of the Kcr sites in histone is an indispensable step for decoding protein function. Therefore, the method can promote the deep understanding of the physiological roles of crotonylation and provide useful information for developing drugs to treat various diseases associated with crotonylation.


Multilayer optical films, i.e., films that provide desirable light transmission and/or reflection properties at least partially by an arrangement of microlayers of differing refractive index, are known and used in an ever increasing variety of applications.
Multilayer optical films have been demonstrated by coextrusion of alternating polymer layers. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,610,724 (Rogers), U.S. Pat. No. 4,446,305 (Rogers et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,623 (Im et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 5,448,404 (Schrenk et al.), and U.S. Pat. No. 5,882,774 (Jonza et al.) each disclose multilayer optical films. In these polymeric multilayer optical films, polymer materials are used predominantly or exclusively in the makeup of the individual layers. Such films are compatible with high volume manufacturing processes, and can be made in large sheet and roll formats. An illustrative embodiment is shown in FIG. 1.
In typical constructions, the film bodies comprise one or more layers of such multilayer optical films, sometimes referred to as an “optical stack”, and further protective layers on one or both sides thereof. Illustrative protective layers include, e.g., so-called “skin layers” on one or both sides comprising more robust materials, e.g., polycarbonate or polycarbonate blends, which impart desired additional mechanical, optical, or chemical properties to the construction. U.S. Pat. No. 6,368,699 (Gilbert et al.) and U.S. Pat. No. 6,737,154 (Jonza et al.) disclose illustrative examples thereof. It is also common to further include additional outer layers for protection, e.g., removable buffer layers sometimes referred to as “premask layers” which protect the film body during early handling and processing and are then removed during later manufacturing steps. Illustrative examples include polyethylene-based films and polyurethane-based films. An illustrative embodiment is shown in FIG. 2.
Many product applications, however, require relatively small and sometimes numerous pieces of optical film. For these applications, small pieces of multilayer optical film can be obtained from a larger sheet of such film by subdividing the sheet by mechanical means, such as by cutting the sheet with a shearing device (e.g., a scissors), slitting the sheet with a blade, or cutting with other mechanical apparatus (e.g., die stamping and guillotines). However, the forces exerted on the film by the cutting mechanism can cause layer delamination in a region along the cut line or edge of the film. This is particularly true for many multilayer optical films. The resultant delamination region is often discernable by a discoloration or other optical degradation relative to intact areas of the film. Because the multilayer optical film relies on intimate contact of the individual layers to produce the desired reflection/transmission characteristics, as a result of degradation in the delamination region it fails to provide those desired characteristics. In some product applications, the delamination may not be problematic or even noticeable. In others applications, particularly where it is important for substantially the entire piece of film from edge-to-edge to exhibit the desired reflection or transmission characteristics, or where the film may be subjected to mechanical stresses and/or wide temperature variations that could cause the delamination to propagate in the film over time, the delamination can be highly detrimental.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,991,695 (Tait et al.) discloses a method for using laser radiation to cut or subdivide optical films using, inter alia, removable liners to support the film and cut pieces. Though laser converting of polymeric materials has been known for some time, see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,010,231 (Huizing a) and U.S. Pat. No. 6,833,528 (De Steur et al.), laser conversion of optical film bodies has not provided desired results. In the region of the optical body near the cutting zone, i.e., the edge, heat generated during the laser converting process often results in degradation of one or more components of the optical film body that impairs desired optical performance. The heat is often observed to disrupt the desired crystalline character of some layers in the optical film, making the component layers in such regions relatively amorphous in character such that desired birefringence is not achieved. As a result, the apparent color of the body in that region is not uniform to other portions of the body located more distantly from the cut zone. Further, the polycarbonate materials commonly used as skin layers tend to yellow upon exposure to the heat encountered during laser conversion, further impairing desired optical performance of the film.
There exists, therefore, a need for an improved method for subdividing multilayer optical film bodies and articles comprising such film. Preferably, the method would not produce delamination or color shifting or yellowing at the cut lines or film edges, would cut the film cleanly without substantial debris accumulation on the film, and would be compatible with automated and/or continuous manufacturing processes.


If you talk to me more than once, chances are you will probably know about my obsession with a children’s toy product, Bionicle. For point of reference, Bionicle was a children’s toy line created by Lego at the start of the 2000’s. It featured buildable action figures and had a set of short novels to create a story to go along with the toy line – basically becoming Power Rangers, Pokemon, and/or Transformers, but with a different spin. During the first year of its run (2001) Bionicle generated over $161 Million (£100 Million) [1] in revenue for LEGO, and roughly the same in first years of its run. This success is a major reason why Bionicle was largely responsible for the continuation of the LEGO Company and its success today. During the 90’s LEGO had been suffering losses and were running out of time and money, and Bionicle came in to save the day.

Now, if Bionicle is nothing more than a children’s toy line that begs the question, what made it so “popular” or least loveable by a child who was born on the wrong side of the 90’s. I will answer that question for myself, and hopefully will instill a degree of understanding to the general audience as to why I remain loyal to a dead franchise. My love of these toys stems from my early childhood. In fact this shares the timing of another one of my hobbies, pipecleaners.

Now like most children, I too, had those few things that I really enjoyed and were permitted by my parents. In my case, a major part of my childhood was Bionicle. I remember I used to ask my parents all the time for them, but never was able to get ahold of many of the figures; luckily this is where pipecleaners came in. With the fuzz covered wires I could create my own action figures and doll out justice upon the evildoers. So, like any loyal fan, some of my first creations were pipecleaner versions of the actual Bionicle characters, and then I fused the pieces and pipecleaners and also created my own characters. You could say that Bionicle was my first fandom. And one could even make the argument that because of my love for these plastic representations of bio-mechanical beings I became a writer.

With Bionicle kick starting the process, I quickly amassed several legions of pipecleaner creations, many of whom were reminiscent of the heroes themselves (the Toa). I quickly began to create stories in my mind where the Toa would fight alongside the heroes of another franchise to defeat a great evil. Those in turn evolved into stories featuring my own characters and my own worlds – simple as I was merely a child then. I credit a great deal of my creativity and storytelling skill to these great, wonderful, and deep Biological Chronicle based beings.

I have many thanks to give to my first fandom. The great Bionicles of the days past are no more and we are left with nothing but memories. I give thanks to the Bionicle series for giving me a great childhood where I believed in heroes. I thank you for the all the good times and stories I have had with you and the plastic figure I still own. I thank you for inspiring me in that early stage of my life to create and tell stories and without that inspiration I might not have written this piece this day. I also have a practical use for my love of Bionicle. Even my online handle, gamer tag, and partial pseudonym are a throwback to Bionicle. The first few stories in the Bionicle Universe feature a character known as the Chronicler, and I have taken that title upon myself in my work to honor my roots and give tribute to the greatness of my childhood fandom.

On my mission, when I was assigned to the Northern Lights Samoan ward, I was also instructed to begin learning the Samoan language. I found that as I learned, the pronunciation of the words, rhythm and air of the language closely mirrored my childhood fandom. (The names of the characters and places in Bionicle are based on the Polynesian Languages). Who knew that after so many years, my love for the toys of my childhood would help me in the real world to partially learn and speak a new language? More than that, it helped me stay sane and keep a grasp on reality. As I had previously explained, the stress of serving a mission is intense and sometimes hard to deal with, and Bionicle helped me get through that. Even though it had originally been canceled in 2010, it was brought back in 2015 for a two year run. 2015 and 2016 would see the release of the Second Generation Bionicles. Almost as if it was brought back for me and my mission, it saw the light of day once more. It was glorious, and I was able to enjoy building these figures to destress on my mission.

In conclusion, to this day, I still love Bionicle. I read the stories, watch the movies, play the games, and build the figures, I still create stories featuring character that I have created and that are already part of the series. Truly, I would say that Bionicle is my first fandom, and it will always have a special place in my heart, even if I have no one to share it with. I will always remember my childhood because of Bionicle. I will always remember the tale of the Bionicle; find your unity, perform your duty, and claim your destiny. I would love to see them revived for another go someday, but I understand that all things must end in time.

The Mask of time,

the first bit of Lore created in the Bionicle Universe.

End in Time, more like begin in time.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - At a hearing last fall, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told lawmakers that he and his team were working to put the $700 billion financial bailout fund “out of its misery.” But some in Washington now see a second, backdoor bailout in its place.

On December 24, the Obama administration announced it was extending an unlimited credit line to mortgage finance agencies Fannie Mae FNM.N and FRE.N Freddie Mac, which would keep them afloat no matter how high their losses.

Representative Dennis Kucinich, an Ohio Democrat who was an early opponent of Obama in the 2008 presidential race, thinks the move is backdoor way to help banks, and a congressional subcommittee he leads is investigating the Treasury’s decision to cover unlimited losses at the housing finance companies.

“This new authority must be used responsibly and for the benefit of American families,” Kucinich said. It “cannot be used simply to purchase toxic assets at inflated prices, thus transferring the losses to the U. S. taxpayers and acting as a backdoor TARP.”

That’s exactly what Treasury is doing, says Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic Policy Research in Washington.

“This looks like the original TARP,” Baker said, referring to $700 billion financial rescue fund, known officially as the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

The original bailout program, devised by former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, “was a plan to help the banks restore their capital position by buying bad assets at and above market price, and that looks like what Fannie and Freddie will be doing if they are incurring losses of this magnitude.”

The Treasury’s announcement said the unlimited credit line for the two government-controlled companies would be in place through the end of 2012, weeks after Obama would face voters if he seeks a second term.

The Treasury also said it was scrapping plans for the two agencies, which play a role in funding three-fourths of all U.S. residential mortgages, to reduce the size of their investment portfolios. The 2010 limits on their portfolios, in fact, would allow their investment holdings to grow.

CALL TO ARMS

Kucinich is not the only one on Capitol Hill up in arms. House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, a California Democrat, said he doesn’t like the idea of a “blank check” for Fannie and Freddie.

And Darrell Issa, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, called it “a continuation of the bailout policies that have mortgaged away the future solvency of our country.”

As the financial crisis unfolded in 2008, Paulson announced that the mortgage agencies would get an explicit guarantee from the federal government: $100 billion each. The Obama administration doubled that in early 2009 to $200 billion each. Combined, Fannie and Freddie have so far tapped about $111 billion.

Until the 2008 announcement, investors had seen their congressional charter and existing line of credit with Treasury as an implicit guarantee of support from the federal government.

The Obama administration now hopes its new, unlimited and even more explicit guarantee will bolster investor confidence and bring private sector buyers back into the market to help hold down mortgage costs.

But mortgage rates are expected to rise in the coming months as the Federal Reserve ends its $1.25 trillion program to purchase mortgage-backed securities at the end of this quarter. Freddie Mac sees the average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage rising to 6 percent by the end of the year.

Higher mortgage rates could smother any emerging rebound in the still-fragile U.S. housing market, and a further decline in home prices could likely create more foreclosures.

That would leave many banks with even weaker portfolios. Banks could dump their toxic mortgage assets onto Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, since their portfolio loan limits are now capped at $810 billion by the end of this year.

They had earlier been set to be 10 percent lower than 2009 year-end levels. Fannie said on December 28 its mortgage investments ended November at $752.2 billion, down 4.9 percent from the end of 2008. Freddie Mac’s mortgage investment portfolio shrank in November to $761.8 billion, a 5.8 percent decline for the first 11 months of the year, the company said December 23. December figures are not yet available.

Treasury officials have said their move to allow unlimited losses for three years is merely precautionary. But the Center for Economic Policy Research’s Baker said, “you only take precaution against conceivable events in the world.”

He adds that it is hard to imagine that Fannie and Freddie would have losses of more than $400 billion from mortgages originated before September 2008, suggesting the agencies are incurring losses on what they have bought since 2008, “which should raise a lot of eyebrows.”

The administration said it plans to lay out a vision for the future of the two agencies in the president’s fiscal 2011 budget proposal in February. But officials caution against expecting too much detail.


Hong Kong. Indonesian diversified conglomerate Lippo Group has invested Rp 628 billion ($45 million), or 350 million Hong Kong dollars, in Chinese internet giant Tencent, the world's eighth most valuable listed company and owner of leading internet services including WeChat, Snapchat and Spotify, and technology companies such as Tesla.

The investment highlights Lippo's continued digital transformation and investment into the fourth industrial revolution, the group said in a statement on Monday (25/06).

Lippo, a pan-Asian group with strategic investments and operations across eight markets globally, is the largest integrated services group in Indonesia, serving more than 60 million unique customers across its real estate, malls, department stores, hospitals, telecommunications, media and financial services businesses.

Lippo’s 350 million Hong Kong dollars investment into Tencent comprised of new Tencent shares and equity-linked notes (ELNs). The investment is made by Lippo's Hong Kong investment subsidiary.

Tencent's market capitalization passed $500 billion last November, making it the first listed Chinese firm to do so and briefly overtaking Facebook as the world’s fifth biggest firm.

Co-founder Ma Huateng, nicknamed Pony Ma, is the 17th richest person in the world, with a fortune of $45.3 billion — four places behind Google co-founder Sergey Brin, according to the latest Forbes rich list.

Tencent's core business is built on messaging app WeChat, the world’s largest mobile gaming franchises, and an ecosystem of services (for its 1 billion users) usually offered by Silicon Valley firms that have no foothold in China.

Tencent Video, a streaming service much like Netflix, is the biggest of its kind in China and carries exclusive content including HBO series “Game of Thrones”. The service more than doubled in size in 2017, drawing more than 40 million paying subscribers.

In Indonesia, Lippo’s nine unique sectors are all pushing to digitalize. In addition, it has established a digital investment group to lay strong foundations for the fourth industrial revolution. This includes Venturra Capital having invested in 24 start-ups in the last 2 years, mataharimall.com, and OVO — Indonesia’s leading payment and marketing platform.

TAXI DRIVERS FUMING AS CABS FACE SCRAPHEAP OVER EMISSIONS TARGET

NEARLY half of Edinburgh’s taxis are to be forced from the road in a massive emissions cull, the Evening News can reveal. All black cabs older than ten years will need to be replaced by 2020 under a new Edinburgh City Council policy, accounting for 616 vehicles of a fleet of 1316.

Drivers have slammed the council plans to meet EU guidelines as rushed and poorly researched, with many likely to have to quit the trade as it faces a £20 million upgrade bill. “We want to be part of the solution on air quality and we should be getting support from the council,” Edinburgh Taxi Association chairman Mark McNally said. “But we feel that we’ve been singled out as a group and the benefits are insignificant. We feel let down in being asked to jump through hoops. It’s unacceptable.” With drivers facing forking out up to £62,000 for a top-of-the-range new taxi, representatives fear for their futures.

“Some of these guys are 55 or 60-plus and they won’t be given finance to renew these vehicles,” Mr McNally said. He maintained the taxi trade was committed to helping improve air quality in the city, but that measures have been adopted way ahead of other initiatives, including low emission zones.

“We find ourselves singled out with no evidence to show what impact this will have on improving air quality,” he said. Although many drivers still use cars more than ten years old, Mr McNally assured these were still viable vehicles. “Some of these guys keep older vehicles on the road relatively cheaply, but they have to pass the same tests as a brand new car,” he said. “If it doesn’t pass, then it’s taken off the road.” The Edinburgh Taxi Association polled its 500 members and four in five said they would find it difficult to continue in the trade in light of the new fleet requirements.

New age restrictions on taxis come into effect in April next year, though drivers get a year’s leeway if their car’s licence expires in 2020. Patrick Gallagher, 44, from Moredun, has been a cabbie in Edinburgh for a decade and drives a 12-year-old model. “I found out in March it had to be off the road next April – 13 months’ notice, whereas in London they got five years’ notice,” Mr Gallagher said. “There are guys in their 50s and 60s taking part-time work because they can’t afford 50, 60 or 70 grand on a new taxi. After April, they might not have jobs and who’s going to employ them at that age? Council-owned Lothian Buses got £800m from the government [to meet emissions targets]. Taxi drivers get no help.” A council spokeswoman said drivers were consulted since June 2016, leading to tweaked plans, including dropping the age limit of cars from five years to ten.

Proposals were drawn up to bring the Capital in line with most other UK cities. “The council is responding to growing public concern about the impact of air pollution on their health by introducing a range of measures to ensure people can breathe clean air in the city,” the spokesman said.


[Laparoscopic Treatment of Splenic Artery Aneurysm].
Visceral artery aneurysms are a rare but dangerous vascular pathology. The branches of the coeliac trunc are most frequently affected, especially the splenic artery. A visceral aneurysm is usually diagnosed only when a bleeding complication occurs due to rupture. It is therefore recommended to treat this pathology at an early stage after diagnosis. Endovascular elimination is the preferred procedure. However, if endovascular elimination is not suitable, the visceral aneurysm can be successfully treated by minimally invasive surgery. Splenic artery aneurysms are located at the splenic hilum, and are therefore considered to be at high risk of splenic ischemia and secondary complications following endovascular coiling. Laparoscopic treatment of splenic artery aneurysm. In the case of complex vascular pathologies unsuitable for an endovascular approach, laparoscopic treatment of splenic artery aneurysm is a safe and effective minimally invasive option and alternative.


Zim migrants leader met VP Mohadi over documented nationals in SA

A leader of the Zimbabwe Migrants in South Africa Ngqabutho Nicholas Mabhena has met the Vice President Kembo Mohadi discuss over the documented citizens in that country.

"l had occasion to meet with the Vice President Hon Mohadi in Harare to discuss documentation of Zimbabweans in South Africa in the following categories, 2010 amnesty to those who had fraudulently acquired authentic South African documents; South African White paper on International Migration which speaks to SADC Work Visa, SADC Business Visa & SADC Cross-Border Trade Visa - according to the new policy, there must be a bilateral agreement between the two governments to issue the said visas to Zimbabweans. This seeks to assist undocumented Zimbabweans who missed out on special permits in 2010," he said.

"Zimbabweans in South Africa who are not documented as Zimbabweans (who do not have Zim birth certificates, Zim ID & passport). The request is to have the Zimbabwean office of the Register General to set up a registration centre in South Africa to assist the affected."

He said without saying much on the outcome of the meetings as there are internal consultation within the Zimbabwean government and also with the South African government, talks are going on well.


Animal-rights Expert Endorses Kosher Plant

A leading expert on the humane treatment of animals is giving a stamp of approval to the nation’s largest kosher slaughterhouse after previously criticizing the plant.

Temple Grandin, an animal science professor, issued her endorsement last week, after visiting the AgriProcessors slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa. The plant, owned and run by Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidim, has been the subject of criticism since 2004, when an animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, released video footage from inside the slaughterhouse that showed cows going to a loud and violent death. When Grandin initially viewed the video, she said it was the “most disgusting thing I’d ever seen.”

After her June 27 visit to Postville, Grandin stood by her original statements but said that AgriProcessors appears to have improved its slaughter process.

“What I saw there today was working very well,” she told the Forward after her full-day visit, for which she was paid as a consultant by AgriProcessors.


Food & Drink The Best Pizza Spots in Atlanta

Max's Coal Oven Pizza | Andrew Thomas Lee Photography Max's Coal Oven Pizza | Andrew Thomas Lee Photography

Atlanta’s been killing the pizza game for a while now. It still may not get the top billing of certain other cities that will go unmentioned, but if you live here, chances are you don’t feel you need to go further than the Old Fourth Ward to get slices and pies in various sizes and shapes that compete with the best pizzas in the country, if not the world. These are the very best in Atlanta.

MTH Pizza Smyrna Smyrna Brick-oven pizza with new takes on the classics

Todd Mussman, Ryan Turner, and Chris Hall have proven with restaurants like Muss & Turner’s and Local 3 that they know how to do food. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that their new brick-oven pizzeria is rising like its high-protein, 72-hour-cold-fermented dough, which makes the light and crisp crust upon which supercharged flavors are delivered. Don’t let it bother you that they don’t do slices (16-inchers only) or substitutions (you can take stuff off your pie but can’t add anything). They have solid, stepped-up takes on the classics, including a roasted ‘shroom, pecorino, and ricotta funghi with crisped thyme, or the “My Tenderoni (P.Y.T.),” which is basically a pepperoni pie, but with the meat cut fresh from a slab. There are also chef-driven pies like “Jimmy Two Times” with fennel sausage and fennel salami, and “The Hell Boy,” which brings spice from Calabrian chilies and spreadable spicy salumi.

Slim & Husky’s West Midtown West Midtown Artisan pies, craft beer, and hip-hop culture

The Nashville-bred “Pizza Beeria” takes its artisan pies as seriously as it takes craft beer and hip-hop culture, all of which you’ll see tastefully curated at the Howell Mill location, and its soon-coming second setup near the Atlanta University Center. The three main partners are all HBCU grads, and are particularly interested in giving back to gentrifying African-American communities through jobs and student scholarships, but all of that is only possible because they make good money making really good pizzas, proven recently by winning a televised “Best Cheese Pizza” contest on Good Morning America. Adding to all that goodness is how they name their ovular flatbreads, like the all-meat “Cee No Green” and the spicy margherita “Red Light Special.”

Amalfi Pizza Downtown Downtown True Neapolitan pizza, with the certification to prove it

It’s one thing to serve Neapolitan pizza; it’s another to be included in the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, which identifies and promotes “true Neapolitan pizza (verace pizza napoletana), i.e., the typical product made in accordance with the characteristics described in the AVPN International Regulations.” Amalfi is the first to receive the recognition in Georgia, and when take your first bite, you’ll understand how they earned it (operating partners Stephen de Haan and Greg Grant studied at two highly respected pizzerias in Italy under pizzaiolo maestros). The pies are made with ingredients from Italy’s Campania region, and baked at 900+ degrees in one of their 6,000-pound Italian brick ovens, so they’re done in one minute flat.

Nina & Rafi Old Fourth Ward Old Fourth Ward Detroit-style pizza from the folks behind O4W

O4W Pizza is incredible, but it’s in Duluth. Unless you live in Duluth, you’re probably more likely to visit this more central intown location from O4W pizzaoli Anthony Spina and partner Billy Streck (of Cypress Street Pint & Plate, Hampton + Hudson, etc.). You can get the “Super Margherita” in round or thick square Detroit format -- and both are good, but it's crazy to not get the Motor City versions, particularly if you’re a meathead. The “Toni Pepperoni” is outstanding, but the Detroit-style “I Love Pepperoni” takes it to a whole new level with its deeper dish and crispy-cheesed crust.

Jack’s Pizza & Wings Old Fourth Ward Old Fourth Ward A dingy neighborhood classic for humongous slices

Don’t let that terrible photo on their website fool you; this dingy, graffiti- and sticker-splashed O4W pizza den has outlasted lots of neighbors because they do a great job at their namesake. You can get whole pies, but most folks do fine with the huge, unevenly cut slices. These slices are not beautiful, but they are wonderful in their way. Also, your pizza won’t be fast, and you should park somewhere very, very visible. But these are all minor inconveniences when you get inside and find community, cheap beer and pizza. The classics here are the jalapeno, bacon, spinach, green pepper, and sliced tomato-topped “Hangover,” or the ridiculous-but-still-delicious “Soul Food,” with fried chicken, collards, mashed potatoes, and gravy instead of marinara.

Fellini’s Various locations Various locations An affordable, dependable Atlanta classic

Not including Fellini’s in a list of Atlanta’s best places for pizza amounts to a diss, and dissing Fellini’s is damn-near like dissing OutKast. Sure, it may not be the absolute best, but Fellini’s slices are still sizeable and super-affordable -- you’ll pay more for that overrated slice at your local mall food court, and feel less happy when you’re done. Whether you’re out on the patio at Howell Mill, Ponce de Leon, South Buckhead on Peachtree, Roswell Road, or wherever, you can’t deny that the balance of properly baked crust and pie, with fail-proof red sauce and a modest but sturdy selection of toppings, makes for an authentic lunch or dinner that’s low-brow enough to remind you that Old Atlanta is still very much alive, and loves you. Never hate on Fellini’s.

Ammazza Old Fourth Ward, Decatur Old Fourth Ward, Decatur New York-meets-Naples pizza and an extensive craft beer selection

The Edgewood location survived two head-on collisions (we'll never understand how two cars hit a very noticeable brick building on different occasions in the same place). It took a while to reopen, and more than a few places came around in the time it took to get back to the business of making pizza. But Ammazza is back, and opened a new Decatur location, and didn’t lose a single step in saucing, cheese-ing and baking their NY-meets-Naples style of pie. You can tell that’s still The Spotted Trotter’s meats, you can taste the balance of Caputo 00 flour, water, yeast, and sea salt that makes the dough that becomes perfect crust once heated in those beautifully tiled 900-degree ovens on the other side of the kitchen’s looking glass, and you can still match your desired pizza with a great selection of craft beer, whether you prefer Georgia or regional, or even something from as far as Sweden, Switzerland, or Quebec. Get here immediately and have the red-sauced Amarena (black cherry sausage, peppadew peppers, caramelized onions), the white-sauced Terra (sauteed wild mushrooms, goat cheese, truffle oil), or even the green Springer Mountain chicken pesto. Just take your time parking, please.

Argosy East Atlanta East Atlanta Great wood-fired pizza in a veritable nerd heaven

Not just a great beer bar, an analog arcade or comic book bruncher’s dream palace, EAV’s nautical-themed watering hole is home to way more than wooden sea creatures and owl murals. The wood-fired oven at the back of the joint slings tantalizing pies like the roasted garlic, asiago cream sauce-based Butternut Pie with black truffle honey pancetta; or the pepperoni/grass-fed beef/house-made sausage Mutiny on the Bounty, which according to the Beastie Boys is "what it's all about."

Sapori di Napoli Decatur Decatur Neapolitan-style pies from two brothers who grew up on the Amalfi Coast

Two brothers from Naples, who grew up spending weekends in a small country town on the Amalfi Coast named Agerola, moved to Decatur and started make the bossest pies in the suburb. That’s really about it. If you like Italian meats, San Marzano tomatoes and all that other Neapolitan tradition, you’ll be just fine here, especially if you order the Carnosa, which also includes bufala mozzarella, Italian sausage, spicy sopressata salame, and cotto ham.

Avellino's Brookhaven Brookhaven A pizza so good you'll visit Brookhaven

Take a great neighborhood pizza pub that started in Decatur, combine it with people who have impressive sauce skills, and you have the best place in Brookhaven for your pizza fix. They seem to specialize in spicy pizzas, but the bravest among you will try the legendary Alla Diavola, or “deviled” pie. They require you sign a waiver for that one.

Antico Home Park/Westside Home Park/Westside The pizza that beat the crowd to the Neapolitan boom

Little Italy is now a thing just outside of Georgia Tech’s campus, and it began with Antico. Though there have been lots of Neapolitan places that have sprung up since its success, Antico still has a loyal following and multiple locations now, including Avalon, The Battery at SunTrust Park, and even Miami. They still won’t let you build your own pizza or make any mods, but the sausage and sweet red peppers are still perfectly deserving of the line that forms out the door every day.

Fritti Inman Park Inman Park Reasonably sized hand-tossed happiness that's been around but still feels brand new

Perfectly puffed crusts lie just beneath sauce and cheese (and pesto, and salami, and beef, and ricotta, etc.). Seriously, with approximately 30 houses recipes, you’ll have to take your time getting through all of these.

Varuni Napoli Krog Street Market Krog Street Market True Neapolitan pie makes KSM's wait well worth it

It didn’t take long before folks noticed the lack of pizza at Krog, but things were made right with the introduction of Luca Varuni’s beloved recipe of all-Naples-sourced ingredients. With a stretched 800-square-foot counter stand that lets you see the action going in and out of the tiled ovens, Varuni Napoli offers a faster version of its heavily praised Morningside location’s pies, letting you choose toppings to build your own from a margherita or bianca base; or order a few standards from the menu like the buffalo mozzarella Nonna Mia or the pepperoni and pork sausage Bastardo. It’s also hard to not love a pizza you can order with a tapped Negroni Reserva cocktail.

Colletta Alpharetta Alpharetta Show-stealing pizza in a flossy Italian restaurant

That wood-fired pizza oven puts out one of the tastiest pies in the metro area -- one that’s actually worth the drive to the Avalon shopping center off 400 North. The crisped crust makes a fantastic margherita or even prosciutto pizza, which comes with ricotta, pickled baby bell peppers, fontina, and garlic, and you’ll enjoy it enough that you might not try their upstanding duck ragu pappardelle, lump crab, and shrimp farfalle, or other pasta dishes.

Max's Coal Oven Pizza Downtown Downtown Consistently good crustiness from hot coals

Those who remember Max’s will tell you it’s worth braving the traffic around Marietta Street in order to get a boxful of these quick cooking pies. There are 18 topping choices (capicola, crimini mushrooms, etc.) and 10 steady menu options, ranging from the four-meat salumi to the arugula and prosciutto pie, which is dressed with lemon pepper arugula. They keep things quality by the use of what they say is “the only genuine coal-burning oven in Georgia.”

Savage Pizza Little Five Points Little Five Points The OG of L5P that makes one of ATL’s greatest pies

It’s hard to say exactly what makes Savage so good, because it predates most of the pizza spots that are doing the Neapolitan thing. It’s just always reliable, simply delicious, still the same ol’ pizza that has an honesty you don’t need to double-check. You can still get a 9-inch small with four slices, a six-slice medium 12-inch, or go large on 16 inches and eight slices. They don’t kill you with cheese, they don’t slop you with sauce, and they don’t collapse with the crust. This is how you quietly survive almost 30 years of whatever “pizza wars” you’ve been hearing about in ATL.

Device-to-device communication is a well-known and widely used component of many existing wireless technologies, including ad hoc and cellular networks. Examples include Bluetooth and several variants of the IEEE 802.11 standards suite, such as WiFi Direct. These example systems operate in unlicensed spectrum
Recently, the use of device-to-device (D2D) communications as an underlay to cellular networks has been proposed as a means to take advantage of the proximity of wireless devices operating within the network, while also allowing devices to operate in a controlled interference environment. In one suggested approach, D2D communications share the same spectrum as the cellular system, for example by reserving some of the cellular uplink resources for D2D communications use. However, dynamic sharing of the cellular spectrum between cellular services and D2D communications is a more likely alternative than dedicated reservation, because cellular spectrum resources are inherently scarce and because dynamic allocation provides greater network flexibility and higher spectrum efficiency.
The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) refers to Network Controlled D2D as “Proximity Services” or ProSe, and efforts aimed at integrated D2D functionality into the Long Term Evolution (LTE) specifications are underway. The ProSe Study Item (SI) recommends supporting D2D operation between wireless devices—referred to as user equipments or UEs by the 3GPP—that are out of network coverage, and between in-coverage and out-of-coverage wireless devices. In such cases, certain UEs may regularly transmit synchronization signals to provide local synchronization to neighboring wireless devices.
The ProSe SI also recommends supporting inter-cell D2D scenarios, where UEs camping on possibly unsynchronized cells are able to synchronize to each other. Still further, the ProSe SI recommends that in the LTE context, D2D-capable UEs will use uplink (UL) spectrum for D2D communications, for Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) cellular spectrum, and will use UL subframes from Time Division Duplex (TDD) cellular spectrum. Consequently, the D2D-capable UE is not expected to transmit D2D synchronization signals—denoted as D2DSS—in the downlink (DL) portion of the cellular spectrum. That restriction contrasts with network radio nodes or base stations, referred to as eNodeBs or eNBs in the 3GPP LTE context, which periodically transmit Primary Synchronization Signals, PSS, and Secondary Synchronization Signals, SSS, on the downlink.
The PSS/SSS enable UEs to perform cell search operations and to acquire initial synchronization with the cellular network. The PSS/SSS are generated based on pre-defined sequences with good correlation properties, in order to limit inter-cell interference, minimize cell identification errors and obtain reliable synchronization. In total, 504 combinations of PSS/SSS sequences are defined in LTE and are mapped to as many cell IDs. UEs that successfully detect and identify a sync signal are thus able to identify the corresponding cell-ID, too.
To better appreciate the PSS/SSS configurations used by eNBs on the DL in LTE networks, FIG. 1 illustrates time positions for PSS and SSS in the case of FDD and TDD spectrums. FIG. 2 illustrates PSS generation and the resulting signal structure, FIG. 3 illustrates SSS generation and the resulting signal structure.
FIG. 2 particularly highlights the formation of PSS using Zadoff-Chu sequences. These codes have zero cyclic autocorrelation at all nonzero lags. Therefore, when a Zadoff-Chu sequence is used as a synchronization code, the greatest correlation is seen at zero lag—i.e., when the ideal sequence and the received sequence are synchronized. FIG. 3 illustrates SSS generation and the resulting signal structure. In LTE, the PSS as transmitted by an eNB on the downlink is mapped into the first 31 subcarriers on either side of the DC subcarrier, meaning that the PSS uses six resource blocks, with five reserved subcarriers on each side, as shown in the following figure. Effectively, the PSS is mapped on to the middle 62 subcarriers of the OFDM resource grid at given symbol times, where “OFDM” denotes Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, in which an overall OFDM signal comprises a plurality of individual subcarriers spaced apart in frequency and where each subcarrier at each OFDM symbol time constitutes one resource element.
As FIG. 3 illustrates, the SSS are generated not using Zadoff-Chu sequences, but rather using M sequences, which are pseudorandom binary sequences generated by cycling through each possible state of a shift register. The shift register length defines the sequence length. SSS generation in LTE currently relies on M-sequences of length 31.
With the above in mind, the following equation defines the physical cell identifier of a given cell in an LTE network,NIDCELL=3NID(1)+NID(2),where NID(1) is the physical layer cell identity group (0 to 167), and where NID(2) is the identity within the group (0 to 2). As noted, this arrangement defines a cell identifier space of 504 values. The PSS is linked to the cell identity within the group NID(2), while the SSS is linked to the cell identity within the group NID(1) and the cell identity within the group NID(2). In particular, the PSS is a Zadoff-Chu sequence of complex symbols having length-62. There are three root sequences, indexed by the cell identity within the group NID(2). As for the SSS, two length-31 sequences are scrambled as a function of the cell identity from the group NID(1) and from the group NID(2). A receiver obtains the cell identity conveyed by the PSS and SSS by demodulating the PSS to obtain the value within the group NID(2) and then uses that knowledge to demodulate the SSS to obtain the value within the group NID(1).
Because of the desirable properties of the Zadoff-Chu and M sequences used to generate the PSS and SSS in LTE, and because of the preexisting investment in algorithms and associated device-side processing as just outlined, there is an express interest in reusing these “legacy” PSS/SSS signal generation and detection techniques for D2D Synchronization Signals, D2DSS. Further aspects of D2DSS were considered at the TSG RAN1 #74bis meeting of the Technical Specifications Group or TSG responsible for the Radio Access Network (RAN) in 3GPP. TSG RAN is responsible for defining the functions, requirements and interfaces of the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) and the Evolved UTRAN (E-UTRAN), for both FDD and TDD modes of operation. The following working assumptions were set forth in the meeting:                Synchronization sources transmit at least a D2DSS: D2D Synchronization Signal                    a. May be used by D2D UEs at least to derive time/frequency            b. May (FFS) also carry the identity and/or type of the synchronization source(s)            c. Comprises at least a PD2DSS                            i. PD2DSS is a ZC sequence                ii. Length FFS                                    d. May also comprise a SD2DSS                            i. SD2DSS is an M sequence                ii. Length FFS                                                As a concept for the purpose of further discussion, without implying that such a channel will be defined, consider a Physical D2D Synchronization Channel or PD2DSCH:                    e. May carry information including one or more of the following (For Further Study or FFS):                            i. Identity of synchronization source                ii. Type of synchronization source                iii. Resource allocation for data and/or control signaling                iv. Data                v. others FFS                                                A synchronization source is any node transmitting D2DSS                    f. A synchronization source has a physical identity PSSID            g. If the synchronization source is an eNB the D2DSS is Rel-8 PSS/SSS            h. Note: in RAN1#73, “synchronization reference” therefore means the synchronization signal(s) to which T1 relates, transmitted by one or more synchronization source(s).
Even though a range of different distributed synchronization protocols are possible, one option under consideration by the 3GPP is based on hierarchical synchronization with the possibility of multi-hop sync-relay. In short, some nodes adopt the role of synchronization masters—sometimes referred to as Synchronization Heads (SH) or as Cluster Heads (CH)—according to a distributed synchronization algorithm. If the synchronization master is a UE, it provides synchronization by transmitting D2DSS and/or PD2DSCH. If the synchronization master is an eNB it provides synchronization by PSS/SSS and broadcast control information, such as being sent using MIB/SIB signaling, where MIB denotes “Master Information Block” and SIB denotes “System Information Block.”
The synchronization master is a special case of synchronization source that acts as an independent synchronization source, i.e., it does not inherit synchronization from other nodes by use of the radio interface. UEs that are under coverage of a synchronization source may, according to predefined rules, transmit D2DSS and/or PD2DSCH themselves, according to the synchronization reference received by their synchronization source. They may also transmit at least parts of the control information received from the synchronization master by use of D2DSS and/or PD2DSCH. Such a mode of operation is referred to herein as “sync-relay” or “CP-relay.”
It is also helpful to define a “synchronization reference” as a time and/or frequency reference associated with a certain synchronization signal. For example, a relayed synchronization signal is associated with the same synchronization reference as the sync signal in the first hop.
A number of advantages or benefits flow from reusing legacy PSS/SSS for D2DSS. sync signals. For example, because UEs must already detect and process PSS/SSS signals transmitted from eNBs in the network, substantially the same algorithms and processing can be reused for detecting D2DSS if the same PSS/SSS sequences are used for D2DSS. However, it is recognized herein that a number of potential issues arise with such reuse.
Consider, for example, the assumption that the cell-ID [0, . . . , 503] identifies a synchronization reference or source provided from an eNB operating in an LTE network. In a similar fashion, one assumes that a D2D identity will be used to identify a synchronization reference or source provided from a D2D-enabled UE. The D2D-identity may be significantly longer than the cell-ID, e.g., 16 bits or more, and it cannot be mapped to the D2DSS without significantly degrading sync detection performance.

Sampling properties of random graphs: the degree distribution.
We discuss two sampling schemes for selecting random subnets from a network, random sampling and connectivity dependent sampling, and investigate how the degree distribution of a node in the network is affected by the two types of sampling. Here we derive a necessary and sufficient condition that guarantees that the degree distributions of the subnet and the true network belong to the same family of probability distributions. For completely random sampling of nodes we find that this condition is satisfied by classical random graphs; for the vast majority of networks this condition will, however, not be met. We furthermore discuss the case where the probability of sampling a node depends on the degree of a node and we find that even classical random graphs are no longer closed under this sampling regime. We conclude by relating the results to real Eschericia coli protein interaction network data.


Vermont woman dies in kayak accident on Buffalo National River

BUFFALO NATIONAL RIVER, Ark. (KTHV) - The National Park Service says a woman kayaking dies in an accident while on the Buffalo National River.

On May 6 at 2:30 p.m. a 79-year-old Vermont native drowned after her head struck a tree and her kayak overturned. A friend that was with her says she was underwater for several minutes before she could reach the victim's kayak. She says she was unable to turn the kayak upright or get her friend's head out of the water.

Boaters floating down the river helped turn the kayak upright and get the woman out of the water. It is thought the woman was underwater for about 40-45 minutes.

The accident happened just upstream from the Ozark Campground.

National Park Service rangers, along with Newton County Search and Rescue, recovered the body. The river was running at 588 cubic feet/second.
