 night, try one of our mummy bags, which feature extra shoulder space and adjustable draw cords for maximum comfort and heat retention.
Our collection also features a hammock-compatible ultralight down sleeping bag, 0-degree option that is multi-functional, combining the best features of both a rectangular and mummy bag to offer extra room for comfort. Made with the highest quality water repellent materials, the hammock-compatible 0-degree models are made to keep a backpacker warm, dry, and protected whether sleeping in a camping tent on the ground or in a hammock.
Differing from a 20-degree sleeping bag, a 0-degree bag is primarily intended for lower temperatures but designed to serve users across all four seasons, mainly to those looking for comfortable warmth when opting for hammock camping.
Hyke & Byke 0-degree sleeping bags are insulated with duck or goose down and available in three sizes - short, regular, and long. Depending on the model you choose, there are either five solid colors or five two-tone color combinations available at your disposal.
All Hyke & Byke 0-degree sleeping bags have a lifetime warranty to the original owner against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.[2 new methods for determination of the height of patella].

A short review of the literature on various methods of determining the height of the patella in the sagittal plane is given. These methods are critically appraised. Two new measuring techniques based on other well-known ones are presented which have a number of advantages over those currently used. The accuracy of the two methods is about the same. The new patellar height angle is recommended. Both methods use the distal end of the femur as a reference and depend on the degree of bending of the knee on lateral films. Since, for technical reasons, a standardized lateral view, e.g., with 30 degrees flexion, is not feasible, both methods require a conversion table which indicates the knee-bending angle to within 5 degrees. In order to differentiate better between a knee cap at normal height and a patellar dystopia an intermediate or transition zone is stipulated. Measuring of the height of the patella requires more knowledge and experience than is generally realized. There is still no really convincing and absolutely reliable measuring method.Two experiments assessed the effect of vocabulary difficulty on three measures of text comprehension���free recall, summary recall, and sentence recognition. In Experiment 1, the effects of differing proportions of rare-word substitutions were examined. It was found that a high rate of difficult vocabulary (one substance word in three) was required before reliable effects on comprehension were evident. In Experiment 2, difficult vocabulary was placed in important text elements in one form of the passages, and in unimportant elements in another. These forms were contrasted with easy vocabulary forms in their effects on the three comprehension measures. Only on the summary measure was there an overall effect of difficult vocabulary in important elements. The results are discussed in terms of the salience of the signaling value of unfamiliar words. �� 1983, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
UPDATE: Video emerged this morning providing a closer look at just what happened with Chance and a fan onstage. It appears that a fan rushed the stage and tried to hug Chance, who didn't look too happy about it. The video has been embedded below.

Pizza, Hamilton, naps, hot showers, puppies, HBO's Sunday night programming — these are all things that fall into that category.
It's tougher with music though. With an art form so subjective and personal, it takes someone truly special to get us all on the same page.
Enter Chance the Rapper, the 23-year-old Chicagoan whose fans span a spectrum deeper than the Grand Canyon — from President Obama and President Beyoncé to the young, sold-out crowd jumping up and down in delirium at the Fillmore Miami Beach.
Chance started the show like he was ripping off a Band-Aid. The moment the curtain peeled back, he had already traveled the length of the stage twice, convulsing and dancing like he was trying to purge some unwanted spirit from within himself. Calling it energetic is a sad understatement. What Chance has is so much more than just energy. Chance performs like he's just been freed from a cage. Chance performs like an iPhone that's been charging for 73 years.
He fought through "Angels" and then leaped right into "Blessings," and before the bathrooms could clear out, the crowd had broken a sweat.
Chance, possibly a little steamy as well, pulled off his denim jacket and got more comfortable in a plain white T-shirt. The music stopped, and he finally took a moment.
"I just realized that I did it again," he said, somehow not out of breath at all. "I got too excited. I've done, like, four or five songs because I get really excited when I get to Miami." Chance took a deep breath and then introduced himself.
"Hi, my name is Chance the Rapper."
And the crowd roared. There is something about Chance the Rapper — even just hearing him say his own name — that elicits a warm feeling from deep inside your stomach. He's so easy to root for. His spirit of positivity shines so bright — and in direct opposition to the incredible violence of his hometown streets of Chicago's South Side. His intentions are so clear, which is a rarity not only in the music industry but in the world.
And last night, those intentions were to share his music — and soul — with Miami. That's just what he did, with the help of a cast of puppets, for the next hour. Chance's live show was a theatrical journey through his own subconscious — which was often narrated by a massive puppet lion named Carlos.
It was fun and silly but also powerfully nostalgic and personal in a way most of the millennial crowd could surely relate to. These goofy creatures talked us through much of our childhood. Now, older but not any less scared, we watched as they counseled Chance on love, success, and art.
It helped to build a feeling of community few concerts can achieve — until one sad moment snapped that momentum in half. Deep into the third act of the show, it appeared there was some sort of commotion near the front of the room. A fan jumped up onstage and tried to hug Chance, who was blindsided by the assault. Chance and his band quickly walked off as the lights and music cut out. The crowd was left shrugging in their seats for about five minutes, wondering if this was part of the show — maybe some metaphor for the thin line between fan and artist.
It wasn't. And we waited a few more minutes.
"Who would assassinate Chance the Rapper?" someone in the crowd asked out loud.
And then, as hope was draining from the Fillmore, we heard a tiny whoop from backstage, Chance's way of letting us know the show would go on. He emerged, though he looked shaken and unsure — hesitant for the first time all night.
He thanked us and told us this had been the best show of his tour. Then, staring at the ground, he said, "It's kind of hard to jump back into the narrative thing, so I think I'm just going to finish with my last couple of songs."
It felt like we were watching our best friend's ice cream cone melt. There was a helpless feeling as Chance moseyed into his last few songs bravely. You wanted to run onstage and give him a hug, but — well, we all saw how that just turned out.
So the crowd did its best to sing along and build Chance back up. It worked, and by the time he reached "Blessings (Reprise)," Chance was back, swinging his arms like he was trying to fight off a thousand ghosts. His voice seemed to waver in a register it hadn't reached all night.
"The people's champ must be everything the people can't."
He sung that line with force. He sung that line for God and his mom and Chicago and President Obama. It's a fact he's learning more and more the larger his flame grows: The bigger it gets, the harder it is to control.Tunable electromagnetic bandgap performance of coplanar waveguides periodically loaded by ferroelectric varactors

To achieve tunable electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) performance, ferroelectric varactors are considered, in LC circuits, for periodically loading coplanar waveguides (CPWs). Asymmetric or symmetric tuning of the bandgap width may be achieved by changing the capacitance of the varactors in the LC circuits. To validate this concept, tunable EBG arrays based on silicon substrate CPWs, including thin film SrTiO3 (STO) varactors, are fabricated and tested experimentally. The EBGs are designed so that the first band gap starts between 20 and 30 GHz. Up to 10% tuning is achieved, under 20‐V DC applied bias, in the EBG structures. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
