Authorship attribution is the process of identifying the author of a text. Classification-based approaches work well for small numbers of candidate authors, but only similarity-based methods  are applicable for larger numbers of authors or for authors beyond the training set . While deep learning methodshave been applied to classification-based approaches, applications to similarity-based applications have been limited, and most similarity-based methods only embody static notions of similarity . Siamese networks have been used to develop learned notions of similarity in one-shot image tasks, and also for tasks of mostly semantic relatedness in NLP. We examine their application to the stylistic task of authorship attribution on datasets with large numbers of authors, looking at multiple energy functions and neural network architectures, and show that they can substantially outperform both classification- and existing similarity-based approaches. We also find an unexpected relationship between choice of energy function and number of authors, in terms of performance .

Authorship attribution is the process of identifying the author of a text. Approaches to tackling it have been conventionally divided into classification-based ones, which work well for small numbers of candidate authors, and similarity-based methods , which are applicable for larger numbers of authors or for authors beyond the training set ; these existing similarity-based methods have only embodied static notions of similarity. Deep learning methods, which blur the boundaries between classification-based and similarity-based approaches, are promising in terms of ability to learn a notion of similarity, but have previously only been used in a conventional small-closed-class classification setup . Siamese networks have been used to develop learned notions of similarity in one-shot image tasks, and also for tasks of mostly semantic relatedness in NLP.

Lead bias is a common phenomenon in news summarization, where early parts of an article often contain the most salient information. While many algorithms exploit this fact in summary generation, it has a detrimental effect on teaching the model to discriminate and extract important information  . We propose that the lead bias can be leveraged in  a simple and effective way in our favor to pretrain abstractive news summarization models on large-scale unlabeled corpus : predicting the leading sentences using the rest of an article. Via careful data cleaning and filtering , our transformer-based pretrained model without any finetuning achieves remarkable results over various news summarization tasks. With further finetuning, our model outperforms many competitive baseline models. Human evaluations further show the effectiveness of our method .

Pre-training techniques have been verified successfully in a variety of NLP tasks in recent years. Despite the wide spread of pre-training models for NLP applications, they almost focused on text-level manipulation, while neglecting the layout and style information that is vital for document image understanding. In this paper, we propose textbf LayoutLM to jointly model the interaction between text and layout information across scanned document images, which is beneficial for a great number of real-world document image understanding tasks such as information extraction from scanned documents. We also leverage the image features to incorporate the style information of words in LayoutLM. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that text and layout are jointly learned in a single framework for document-level pre-training , leading to significant performance improvement in downstream tasks for document image understanding.

Recent research has achieved impressive results on understanding and improving source code by building up on machine-learning techniques developed for natural languages. A significant advancement in natural-language understanding has come with the development of pre-trained contextual embeddings, such as BERT, which can be fine-tuned for downstream tasks with less labeled data and training budget, while achieving better accuracies. However, there is no attempt yet to obtain a high-quality contextual embedding of source code, and to evaluate it on multiple program-understanding tasks simultaneously; that is the gap that this paper aims to mitigate. Specifically, first, we curate a massive, deduplicated corpus of 6M Python files from GitHub, which we use to pre-train CuBERT, an open-sourced code-understanding BERT model; and, second, we create an open-sourced benchmark that comprises five classification tasks and one program-repair task, akin to code-understanding tasks proposed in the literature before. We fine-tune CuBERT on our benchmark tasks, and compare the resulting models to different variants of Word2Vec token embeddings, BiLSTM and Transformer models, as well as published state-of-the-art models, showing that CuBERT outperforms them all, even with shorter training, and with fewer labeled examples. Future work on source-code embedding can benefit from reusing our benchmark, and  comparing against CuBERT models as a strong baseline.

I have tried this to get the mix and max, but have no idea how to continue the process?

grouped = df.groupby(['HOUSEID', 'PERSONID','STRTTIME', 'ENDTIME'])['TDTRPNUM']
max = grouped.max()
min = grouped.min()

Can you help me with this or give me a hint?

Use groupby with agg, and finally rename your columns:
print (df.sort_values(["HOUSEID","PERSONID","TDTRPNUM"])
         .groupby(["HOUSEID", "PERSONID"], as_index=False)
         .agg({"STRTTIME":"first","ENDTIME":"last"})
         .rename(columns={"STRTTIME":"firsttrip_time","ENDTIME":"lasttrip_time"}))

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, DIY-IT is about to rock some code on the house!

WordPress, in versions 2.9 and greater, supports a UI feature called post thumbnail.

They also call it "featured image," just to keep things interesting.

The purpose of this UI feature is to give theme developers a standard way to get and display a thumbnail or main image for a given post.

Prior to when this feature became available, most theme developers had to find their own approach to store and reference a thumbnail, which resulted in a lot of incompatibility problems for users when switching themes.

Since I want my AI Editor and AI Publisher code to be as generalized as possible, I decided to spend a weekend updating my code to support featured images, rather than my own hacked variant of thumbnail storage and retrieval.

This would allow me to switch themes without having to go into a theme's code and spend hours rewriting the thumbnail display module for every theme I wanted to use.

How I figured it out

I had a heck of a time finding any documentation about how to turn an attachment into a featured image.

The WordPress Codex has some good information for theme writers about using a featured image, but the general assumption is that an actual user will click the UI and upload an image.

I had 12,776 featured images I needed to create, so I wasn't about to do it by hand.

One way to find out how WordPress does something is to step through the code.

So, if possible, it's best to find another way.

What I did was open up the database in a MySQL viewer (I like HeidiSQL) and watch what changed as I added data.

I always use a dummy WordPress install, so it's easy to see if a record is added or deleted.

When I added an image to a post, I noticed that a new post record was created, with the parent_id pointing to the parent content post.

The problem is, when you upload an image using the featured image UI, the exact same behavior happened.

There was absolutely no difference in the posts table.

The next thing I did was look through the other WordPress tables, paying special attention to the postmeta table, which adds key/value pairs to a given post.

As it turned out, while no new postmeta record was created when I just added an image, when I added a featured image, a record was created with the key '_thumb_id' set to the ID value of the inherited image post.

I further tested it by removing that record and I noticed that the featured image disappeared from the UI.

When I put the record back, the featured image came back as well.

Now, as with all hacks, it's important to understand that since this isn't documented, the core developers might change this at any time.

No matter, for now it works, and that's all you can ask for on a long, holiday weekend.

Implementation

Now, before I show you my code, understand that everyone has their own coding style, this is intended as one-time use code, and -- as you all well know -- programming is not my main job responsibility.

So, if you have constructive suggestions about coding, I'd love to hear them.

Also, while we're at it, here's another disclaimer.

I don't guarantee this will work for you, I can't debug your code, and your mileage may vary.

My code needs to do more than just take an existing media asset and register it as featured image.

So I built a one-time use plug-in that loops through every published post and retrieves an image file name I'd previously planted in a custom field.

It then runs the following chunk of (sanitized) code, which "inserts" the image as a WordPress attachment to the post.

$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype($filename, null ); $mime_type = $wp_filetype[type]; $attachment = array( 'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'], 'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($filename)), 'post_name' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($filename)), 'post_content' => '', 'post_parent' => $post_id, 'post_excerpt' => $thumb_credit, 'post_status' => 'inherit' ); $attachment_id = wp_insert_attachment($attachment, $filename, $post_id); if($attachment_id !

= 0) { $attachment_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $filename); wp_update_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $attach_data); update_post_meta($post_id, '_thumbnail_id', $attachment_id); }

You may have noted, in the previous paragraph, that I put the word "inserts" in quotes.

That's because the wp_insert_attachment function doesn't actually insert an attachment.

What it does is update the function records to indicate that an attachment would be there, if it had actually been moved in place.

The wp_update_attachment_metadata attempts to record further information about the image attachments, but it turns out it didn't work in my application without a little special sauce.

WordPress uses the concept of function filters, which are simply PHP functions it calls during the execution of specific WordPress functions.

One such filter is the _wp_relative_upload_path filter, which WordPress calls during the wp_insert_attachment process, when it needs to create a relative upload path (i.e., a path from a current directory, rather from root).

This filter proved essential, because I had discovered that wp_insert_attachment didn't actually move the image files into place in the /files directory, where WordPress expected them.

So, by creating the following filter, I was able to do a one-time move of those files to where they were supposed to be, and then pass back a valid relative file specification.

add_filter('_wp_relative_upload_path', 'zenpress_wp_plugin_convertaithumbs_upload_path'); function zenpress_wp_plugin_convertaithumbs_upload_path($old_file) { $uploads = wp_upload_dir(); $file_name = basename($old_file); $new_file = $uploads[path] . '/' .

$file_name; if(!file_exists($new_file) and !

is_dir($old_file)) { // copy this bad boy into the new location copy($old_file, $new_file); } // prepend the month and day subdirectory to the file name, and return it up the chain $new_url = $uploads[subdir] . '/' .

$file_name; $new_url = ltrim($new_url, '/'); // get rid of extra / in path return $new_url; }

update_post_meta($post_id, '_thumbnail_id', $attachment_id);

Finally, once I'd managed to get the image to register properly with WordPress's media system, it was time to take advantage of the featured image capability.

To turn something into a featured image, simply set '_thumb_id' to the value of the post image ID, as I did here:One final note: my first run exceeded PHP's allowed execution time, so I first thought I'd go in and modify my php.ini.

But I really like reentrant code , so instead, I decided to just run a check at the beginning to see if '_thumbnail_id' existed.

If it did, I'd skip processing that post.

There are better ways to make sure PHP doesn't overdo its processing time, but as I mentioned, this was one-time-use code, so I just went for the expedient solution.

That's the DIY-IT spirit for you -- first, and foremost, get it done.

I'll be working on a lot more PHP and WordPress over the coming months, so stay tuned for other deep dives into interesting features.

Q:

Proc Tabulate in SAS: repeating class names for each row

If I want to summarize my data by class1 and class2 and show the sum of var1, what's the simplest code to get an output that looks like:
    Class1  Class2  Var1Sum
    a       x       123
    a       y        34
    a       z       990
    b       y        98

I tried the below:
proc tabulate data=datasetname;
    class class1 class2;
    var var1;
    table class1,class2,var1*(SUM);
run;

which gets me:
    Class1  Class2  Var1Sum
    a       x       123
            y        34
            z       990
    b       y        98

A:

One way would be to use PROC SUMMARY to create a result dataset and then use PROC PRINT to create your report:
proc summary nway data=mydata;
   class class1 class2;
   var var1;
   output out=summary(drop=_type_ _freq_) sum=Var1Sum;
run;
proc print data=summary;
run;

I don't use PROC TABULATE myself, but if you are looking for a reporting-only solution, read up on the PROC REPORT procedure.


Q:

OCaml - equality of two hashtables and function with nested labelled arguments

I want to compare two hashtables for equality:
open Core.

Std

let hashtables_equal (x_tbl: ('a, 'b) Hashtbl.t) (y_tbl: ('a, 'b) Hashtbl.t) : bool =
  (Hashtbl.length x_tbl = Hashtbl.length y_tbl)
  && Hashtbl.for_alli x_tbl ~f:(fun ~key ~data -> Hashtbl.existsi y_tbl ~f:(fun ~k ~d -> k = key && d = data))

The function f in for_alli and in existsi has two labelled arguments ~key and ~data.

The code as it is above does not compile, due to using incorrect labels.

However, I want to reference the ~key and ~data labelled arguments from within the nested function.

A:

You can give a local name to a labelled argument, you don't need to use the label itself as the name.

let hashtables_equal x_tbl y_tbl =
    Hashtbl.length x_tbl = Hashtbl.length y_tbl &&
    Hashtbl.for_alli x_tbl ~f: (fun ~key ~data ->
        Hashtbl.existsi y_tbl ~f:(fun ~key:k ~data:d ->
           k = key && d = data))

For what it's worth, there appears to be a function in Core that compares hash tables for equality:
let hashtables_equal x_tbl y_tbl = Hashtbl.equal x_tbl y_tbl (=)

The last parameter, (=) in this case, is for comparing elements in case the usual comparison isn't what you want. (

As it wouldn't be for hash tables, as a case in point.)


The present method of towing commercial aircraft on the ground at airports today requires the support of a minimum of two and in some cases three maintenance personnel.

First a tow bar is selected that is compatible with the type of aircraft to be towed or pushed back from the airport gate.

As many as 15 different tow bars may be required in an airport gate area to accommodate the various types of aircraft which have different designs of coupling means attached to their nose landing gear.

The selected tow bar partially supported on two wheels is then manually attached to the towing vehicle by means of an eye arrangement.

Next the vehicle under power moves the wheel supported tow bar to line up the coupling end of the tow bar in close proximity to the coupling means attached to the aircraft's retractable nose landing gear.

The coupling end of the tow bar is then manually lifted and lined up for the manual manipulation of the locking mechanism.

This lining up and locking operation requires a vehicle operator and at least one person to lift, align, and effect the coupling of the tow bar to the aircraft.

Before the aircraft is towed or pushed back from the gate two additional operations must be accomplished.

First a person must hook up a telephone connection line to the aircraft in order to communicate with the aircraft pilot while walking along the aircraft under tow.

The second operation required before towing is the manual disengagement of the aircraft nose hydraulic steering system so as to allow steering of the aircraft while under tow.

Finland

Finland ( ; , ), officially the Republic of Finland (, ), is a Nordic country located in Northern Europe. Finland shares land borders with Sweden to the west, Russia to the east, and Norway to the north and is defined by the Gulf of Bothnia to the west and the Gulf of Finland to the south that are part of the Baltic Sea.


Finland

Finland largely remained an agrarian country until the 1950s. After World War II, the country rapidly industrialised and developed an advanced economy, while building an extensive welfare state based on the Nordic model, resulting in widespread prosperity and a high per capita income. Finland joined the United Nations in 1955 and adopted an official policy of neutrality. Finland joined the OECD in 1969, the NATO Partnership for Peace in 1994, the European Union in 1995, the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council in 1997, and the Eurozone at its inception in 1999.


Finland

The earliest written appearance of the name "Finland" is thought to be on three runestones. Two were found in the Swedish province of Uppland and have the inscription "finlonti" (U 582). The third was found in Gotland. It has the inscription "finlandi" (G 319) and dates back to the 13th century. The name can be assumed to be related to the tribe name "Finns", which is mentioned at first known time AD 98 (disputed meaning).


Finland

It has been suggested that the Finnish word "Suomi" is first attested the Royal Frankish Annals annal for 811, which mentions a person called "Suomi" among the Danish delegation at a peace treaty with the Franks. If so, it is also the earliest evidence for the change from the proto-Finnic monophthong to the Finnish diphthong . However, some historical linguists view this interpretation of the name as unlikely, supposing another etymology or that the spelling originated as a scribal error (in which case the sound-change > could have happened much later).


She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said, Dont mind, but what do you mean, I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round?
She said I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean
As she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of bein the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me, Be careful of what you do
Dont go around breakin young girls hearts
And mother always told me, Be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do
Cause the lie becomes the truth
Hey-ay
Billie Jean is not my lover
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son, hoo!
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Hoo!
For forty days and for forty nights, the law was on her side
But who can stand when shes in demand?
Her schemes and plans
Cause we danced on the floor in the round, hee!
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
 Do think twice!
She told my baby wed danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby cryin, his eyes were like mine
Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me, Be careful of what you do
And dont go around breakin young girls hearts

But she came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Hey-ay
Billie Jean is not my lover
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no, no-no-no-no-no-no
Billie Jean is not my lover
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Ah, hee-hee-hee!
Hee! Hoo!
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
No-no-no, hoo!
Billie Jean is not my lover
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no, no-no-no-no
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
You know what you did
She says he is my son
Breakin my heart, babe
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not
Billie Jean is

Im gonna make a change
For once in my life
Gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As I turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin my mind
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
A summers disregard, a broken bottle top
And one mans soul
They follow each other on the wind, ya know
Cause they got nowhere to go
Thats why I want you to know
Im starting with the man in the mirror
Im asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
Na-na-na na-na-na nana-nana
Ive been a victim of a selfish kinda love
Its time that I realize
There are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me pretending that theyre not alone?
A willow deeply scarred, somebodys broken heart
And a washed-out dream
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya see
Cause they got no place to be
Thats why Im starting with me
Im starting with the man in the mirror
Im asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
Im starting with the man in the mirror
Im asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
Im starting with the man in the mirror
Im asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
Cause when you close your heart
Then you close your mind
 Im starting with the man in the mirror
 Im asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that
Change!

Its close to midnight
Something evils lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes
Youre paralyzed
Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no ones gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know its thriller, thriller night
Youre fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight, yeah
Ooh
You hear the door slam
And realize theres nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if youll ever see the sun
You close your eyes
And hope that this is just imagination
But all the while
You hear a creature creeping up behind
Youre out of time
Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There aint no second chance
Against the thing with 40 eyes, girl
Thriller , thriller night
Youre fighting for your life
Inside a killer, thriller tonight
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
Theres no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
Theyre open wide
This is the end of your life, ooh
Theyre out to get you
Theres demons closing in on every side
They will possess you
Unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time
For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night
Ill save you from the terror on the screen
Ill make you see
That this is thriller, thriller night
Cause I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller , thriller night
So let me hold you tight
And share a killer, thriller, chiller
Thriller, here tonight
Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller , thriller night
So let me hold you tight
And share a killer, thriller
Im gonna thrill you tonight
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize yalls neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpses shell
Im gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller, ooh, babe
Im gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller, oh, darling
Im gonna thrill you tonight
Ooh, babe
Im gonna thrill you tonight
Oh, darling
Thriller night, babe
Ooh
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grisly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Discovery of an ovine alpha S2-casein variant.

A novel ovine alpha S2-casein variant has been detected using discontinuous polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at alkaline pH, two dimensional electrophoresis and immunoblotting. It is characterized by a greater negative net charge and a lower isoelectric point compared with the most common ovine alpha S2-casein variant. The phenotypic frequency in the Manchega breed is 5.5%.


Yield and composition of milk from lactating mares: effect of body condition at foaling.

The yield and composition of milk from nursing mares were studied during the first 2 months of lactation in two groups of six and five saddle mares respectively made thin or fat before foaling, then fed ad lib. post partum. Milk yield did not significantly vary with body condition (16.5 and 15.4 kg/d for fat and thin mares respectively). Milk from fat mares had a higher fat content than milk from thin mares; the reverse was found for protein. The composition of milk fat was modified: milk of fat mares was poorer in short- and medium-chain fatty acids (C8-C14). Milk fat output was affected by body condition: 252 and 187 g/d for fat and thin mares respectively. This can be explained by a difference in lipid mobilization, as shown by variations in non-esterified fatty acids.


Milk removal in familiar and unfamiliar surroundings: concentrations of oxytocin, prolactin, cortisol and beta-endorphin.

Eight cows were machine milked either in an operating theatre or in their familiar barn. During the experiments, milk flow curves were recorded and blood samples were taken for determination of concentrations of oxytocin, prolactin, cortisol and beta-endorphin. The milking cluster was attached without udder preparation. After cessation of milk flow, air was blown into the vagina for 2 min. When milk flow had stopped again, 1 i.u. oxytocin and finally 10 i.u. oxytocin were injected to remove the remaining milk. After the start of milking, oxytocin remained basal in unfamiliar, but increased in familiar surroundings. Therefore, during normal milking only 9% of total milk was removed in unfamiliar, whereas 79% was available in familiar surroundings. In response to subsequent vaginal stimulation in the operating theatre, oxytocin increased transiently in five cows and 15-71% of the milk was removed in these animals. In the other three cows in the operating theatre, oxytocin remained basal during vaginal stimulation, and no more milk was available. After injection of 1 i.u. oxytocin, 56 and 11%, and after injection of 10 i.u. oxytocin, 13 and 8% of milk was removed in unfamiliar and familiar surroundings respectively. Concentrations of prolactin increased during the course of milking in both treatments. Premilking concentrations of cortisol and beta-endorphin were elevated in unfamiliar as compared with familiar surroundings. During the course of milking, cortisol increased slightly and beta-endorphin decreased in unfamiliar, whereas both hormones increased markedly during milking in familiar surroundings.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)


Intraosseous chondroid syringoma of the hallux.

A 25-year-old black woman had a deformed right great toe. X-ray examination revealed extensive lytic change in the distal phalanx, to which technetium uptake was limited. The amputation specimen revealed a benign chondroid syringoma in the subungual tissue that penetrated and permeated the bone. Chondroid syringoma is rare in the foot, and we present what we believe is the first such immunohistochemically confirmed case involving bone.


Chronic cutaneous dysesthesia syndrome: a psychotic phenomenon or a depressive symptom?

A 54-year-old woman had a 4-month history of sensitivity to all forms of light. Evaluation revealed no detectable abnormalities. A diagnosis of chronic cutaneous dysesthesia syndrome was made, and the patient experienced slow, steady resolution with oral pimozide. We discuss the classification, diagnostic categories, treatment principles, and prognosis of this disorder and summarize our experience with 13 other patients.


An unusual case of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

A 28-month-old boy had firm, red nodules for 4 months that were mostly localized to the face. The eruption was preceded by conjunctivitis, eyelid edema, and swelling of the root of the nose. He also had dyspnea, anisocoria with areflexia, swelling of the parotid glands, and hepatosplenomegaly. A bone marrow aspirate showed 25% eosinophils. A skin biopsy specimen revealed a lymphohistiocytic infiltrate that involved the entire dermis. Most of the cells expressed antimacrophage markers; S-100 was negative. Electron microscopy showed poorly differentiated histiocytes without any specific marker. Steroid therapy induced complete clearing. Two years later, after several cutaneous recurrences, the patient is free of disease. We believe that this case represents a nodular, benign non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis with cutaneous lesions that differ from previously described histiocytopathies.


Cutaneous meningioma underlying congenital localized hypertrichosis.

A 28-year-old man had a circumscribed hypertrichotic area on the left lumbar region since birth. A biopsy specimen showed numerous normal-appearing hair follicles and arrector pili muscles. In the subcutaneous layer a mass of dense collagenous connective tissue formed the background in which ill-defined foci of meningothelial cells in nests and pseudovascular spaces were seen. Collagenous structures (pseudopsammoma bodies), some of which showed calcification (psammoma bodies), were also seen. A diagnosis of cutaneous meningioma was made.


Primary anaplastic large-cell lymphoma of the skin. A case report suggesting that regressing atypical histiocytosis and lymphomatoid papulosis are subsets.

A patient with primary anaplastic large-cell lymphoma of the skin with characteristic clinical findings is described. The diagnosis was made on the basis of histologic and immunohistochemical findings. The phenotype of the tumor cells was not determined, but rearrangement of the T-cell receptor beta gene indicated that the tumor was of T-cell lineage. Despite high-grade malignancy of the tumor cells, the patient unexpectedly had a benign clinical course. The findings in this case suggest that regressing atypical histiocytosis and lymphomatoid papulosis type A are subsets of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.


Cicatrizing conjunctivitis as a predominant manifestation of linear IgA bullous dermatosis.

Linear IgA bullous dermatosis is an uncommon mucocutaneous autoimmune disorder that is distinct from dermatitis herpetiformis and bullous pemphigoid. Two patients who had significant conjunctival involvement but minimal skin disease are described. Irreversible conjunctival scarring indistinguishable from ocular pemphigoid developed in both patients.


Minocycline-induced oral pigmentation.

Oral mucosal pigmentation is an infrequently reported side effect of minocycline. Two patients with minocycline deposition within teeth and bone, demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy, are described. Minocycline is the only tetracycline reported to cause discoloration of the oral mucosa. This may be the result of deposition of an insoluble degradation product of minocycline in the underlying bone. Pigmentation is not necessarily dose-dependent and may take months or years to resolve.


Obese individuals have an increased risk of developing a variety of diseases, including type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension.

As the incidence of obesity continues to increase in developed countries, a better understanding of adipose tissue homeostasis becomes critical.

Our laboratory has found that human adipose tissue, preadipocytes and mature adipocytes produce prolactin (PRL), a 23-kDa protein.

We also found that PRL is capable of increasing glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 murine adipocytes.

Recently, we generated a novel human adipocytes cell line, named LS14, which expresses and releases PRL.

LS14 cells express many adipocyte-specific genes and undergo full differentiation upon exposure to adipogenic medium.

This cell line provides us with a unique opportunity to examine both the regulation and functions of PRL in human adipocytes.

Our first objective is to determine the control of PRL gene expression in LS14 cells by identifying PRL promoter elements and then examine the effects of putative PRL releasing and inhibitory factors on PRL gene expression and release.

Our second objective is to examine the role of PRL in glucose transport in LS14 cells.

We will determine the effect of PRL on glucose uptake in LS14 cells and whether this occurs by increasing translocation and/or expression of Glut4, the insulin-dependent glucose transporter which mediates glucose uptake by adipocytes.


Q:

JavaScript appended child (div) only shows up after ALL code has been executed

Long story short: got an upload file element and a button with an onclick function called "start".

So, all of these happens way after all DOM content is loaded.

createLoader: function(){
    var outerDiv = document.createElement('div');
    var innerDiv = document.createElement('div');
    innerDiv.className = '_gisplayloader';

    var mapDiv = this.getContainer();

    /*outerDiv.style = ' opacity: 0.5; background-color: grey; justify-content: center; display: flex;';
    outerDiv.style.position = 'absolute';
    outerDiv.style.zIndex = '999999999';*/
    outerDiv.className = '_gisplayLoaderOuterDiv';
    outerDiv.style.height = mapDiv.offsetHeight;
    outerDiv.style.width = mapDiv.offsetWidth;
    outerDiv.appendChild(innerDiv);
    this.loaderDiv = outerDiv;

    mapDiv.parentElement.insertBefore(outerDiv, mapDiv);
}

This is the loader/spinner create and append code.

It works instantly if I call it through the browser console.

Inside start(), it reads the uploaded file and onloadend calls another function that calls createLoader().

function start(){
    //var data = new Array();
    var time = Date.now();

    console.log("starting...");

    var reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onloadend = function(){
        var data = JSON.parse(reader.result);
        var datareadtimestamp = Date.now();
        makeChoropleth(map, data ,options,null);
    }
    reader.readAsText(document.getElementById("file").files[0]);
}

The simplified version of makeChoropleth function:
makeChoropleth: function(bgmap, geometry, options,defaultid){

    var gismap = new Choropleth(bgmap, geometry, options); //inside here it calls createLoader()

    //the next 3 functions take about 5-10s to execute all together
    gismap.processData(geometry);
    gismap.draw();
    gismap.buildLegend();

    if(options.loader !

= false){
        //  gismap.loader(); that would hide the loader.

disabled it so i could check if the loader was appearing at all
    }
}

Unless I put a breakpoint somewhere inside makeChoropleth, the loader only shows up upon all code completion.

The following code takes almost 10 seconds to finish, which is more than enough to create the loader (assuming it is asynchronous).

A:

if you want the loader to show up before the file finishes reading you need to call it before the onloadend event, in the start() function.

function start(){
    //var data = new Array();
    var time = Date.now();

    console.log("starting...");

    var reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onloadend = function(){
        //stuff here only runs after the file is read completely!

        var data = JSON.parse(reader.result);
        var datareadtimestamp = Date.now();
        makeChoropleth(map, data ,options,null);
    }
    reader.readAsText(document.getElementById("file").files[0]);
    createLoader();
}

if you want the loader to show up after the file read finishes but before your Choropleth code runs, the easiest way is to put a 1ms timeout on your 5-10s operation to give the browser time to do a reflow. (

otherwise the blocking code will run first).

Try:
makeChoropleth: function(bgmap, geometry, options,defaultid){

    var gismap = new Choropleth(bgmap, geometry, options); //inside here it calls createLoader()

    //the next 3 functions take about 5-10s to execute all together
    setTimeout(function(){
        gismap.processData(geometry);
        gismap.draw();
        gismap.buildLegend();
    },1);

    if(options.loader !

Context: Provided is a universal Ku band LNB (9.75/10.600 GHz) which is fitted at the end of the dish and pointed at the correct satellite constellation; most digital receivers will receive the free to air channels. Some broadcasts are free-to-air and unencrypted, some are encrypted but do not require a monthly subscription (known as free-to-view), some are encrypted and require a monthly subscription, and some are pay-per-view services. To view the encrypted content a VideoGuard UK equipped receiver (all of which are dedicated to the Sky service, and cannot be used to decrypt other services) needs to be used. Unofficial CAMs are now available to view the service, although use of them breaks the user's contract with Sky and invalidates the user's rights to use the card.

Context: At the beginning of the 20th century, important advancement in geological science was facilitated by the ability to obtain accurate absolute dates to geologic events using radioactive isotopes and other methods. This changed the understanding of geologic time. Previously, geologists could only use fossils and stratigraphic correlation to date sections of rock relative to one another. With isotopic dates it became possible to assign absolute ages to rock units, and these absolute dates could be applied to fossil sequences in which there was datable material, converting the old relative ages into new absolute ages.

Question: What did using fossils help change for scientists?


Context: Packet mode communication may be implemented with or without intermediate forwarding nodes (packet switches or routers). Packets are normally forwarded by intermediate network nodes asynchronously using first-in, first-out buffering, but may be forwarded according to some scheduling discipline for fair queuing, traffic shaping, or for differentiated or guaranteed quality of service, such as weighted fair queuing or leaky bucket. In case of a shared physical medium (such as radio or 10BASE5), the packets may be delivered according to a multiple access scheme.

Question: If there is no radio or 10BASE5, how are the packets delivered?


Context: Many complexity classes are defined using the concept of a reduction. A reduction is a transformation of one problem into another problem. It captures the informal notion of a problem being at least as difficult as another problem. For instance, if a problem X can be solved using an algorithm for Y, X is no more difficult than Y, and we say that X reduces to Y. There are many different types of reductions, based on the method of reduction, such as Cook reductions, Karp reductions and Levin reductions, and the bound on the complexity of reductions, such as polynomial-time reductions or log-space reductions.

Question: What are two examples of different types of reduction?

Karp reductions and Levin reductions
Cook reductions, Karp reductions


Context: In 1096, Crusaders passing by the siege of Amalfi were joined by Bohemond of Taranto and his nephew Tancred with an army of Italo-Normans. Bohemond was the de facto leader of the Crusade during its passage through Asia Minor. After the successful Siege of Antioch in 1097, Bohemond began carving out an independent principality around that city. Tancred was instrumental in the conquest of Jerusalem and he worked for the expansion of the Crusader kingdom in Transjordan and the region of Galilee.[citation needed]

Question: When did Tancred lay siege to Antioch?


Context: In October 2010, the open-access scientific journal PLoS Pathogens published a paper by a multinational team who undertook a new investigation into the role of Yersinia pestis in the Black Death following the disputed identification by Drancourt and Raoult in 1998. They assessed the presence of DNA/RNA with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) techniques for Y. pestis from the tooth sockets in human skeletons from mass graves in northern, central and southern Europe that were associated archaeologically with the Black Death and subsequent resurgences. The authors concluded that this new research, together with prior analyses from the south of France and Germany, ". . . ends the debate about the etiology of the Black Death, and unambiguously demonstrates that Y. pestis was the causative agent of the epidemic plague that devastated Europe during the Middle Ages".

Question: What scientific journal in France published a prior analysis of the Black Death?

The suspected green mamba was found on a ship that had docked in Aberdeen from west Africa last month.
The snake died after it was placed in a freezer by the animal charity after attempts to rehome it with specialist reptile keepers failed.
The snake was later identified as a harmless green tree snake.
Police Scotland said a complaint was under consideration.
Scottish SPCA Ch Supt Mike Flynn said: "We were called out after a green snake arrived in Aberdeen on a boat from Africa.
"The snake was thought to be a green mamba, one of the deadliest snakes in the world. The snake was taken by police escort to our Aberdeenshire animal rescue and rehoming centre.
"Sadly the snake, which staff genuinely believed to be a green mamba, had to be put to sleep after our attempts to rehome it to specialist reptile keepers were unsuccessful."
He added: "We could not keep the snake in our centre due to severe health and safety concerns, as the closest anti-venom is held in Bedford. Green mambas also require a Dangerous Wild Animal Licence which the society does not have.
"The safety of our staff and the public is paramount and as such the snake was placed in a freezer where it passed away.
"The Scottish SPCA is proud of its policy not put healthy animals to sleep. Animals are only put to sleep on veterinary advice if they are too ill or too aggressive to be rehomed, or where we are legally required to do so.
"The decision to euthanise the snake was not taken lightly. Unfortunately, the snake has since been identified as a harmless green tree snake. This has been an honest mistake on the society's part as we genuinely believed this was an extremely deadly snake."
The western green mamba feeds on small animals and rodents and is mainly found in the coastal tropical rainforests of western Africa.
Experts say its bite can be fatal in as little as 30 minutes.

A complaint about the Scottish SPCA putting what was thought to be one of the world's most deadly snakes to sleep is being investigated by police.


The all-rounder has been included in the T20 squad to face Sri Lanka on 5 July at the Ageas Bowl, having been part of the World T20 squad in March.
"It's nice to be involved again," the 26-year-old slow left-armer and right-handed batsman told BBC Radio Solent.
"I wasn't expecting to be as I thought Moeen Ali would, but him being rested hands me another opportunity."
Dawson failed to make an appearance during England's run to the World T20 final in India this year, but his limited-overs performances for Hampshire this season have kept him in contention.
"I'm not sure what team they'll go with," he said.
"I've had some good performances for Hampshire in one-day and T20 cricket and if I keep going with that, hopefully I might get a chance."

Hampshire's Liam Dawson says it would be "amazing" to make his England Twenty20 debut on his home ground.


The Egypt-backed plan had envisaged a regional forum which analysts say might have forced Israel to reveal whether or not it has nuclear weapons.
The proposal was blocked by the US, the UK and Canada. The next review is set for  2020.
Israel neither confirms nor denies it has a stockpile of nuclear weapons.
Speaking after four weeks of negotiations, US Under-Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller accused Egypt and other Arab countries of "not willing to let go of these unrealistic and unworkable conditions" for future talks.
She also said some participants tried to "cynically manipulate" the whole process.
But Egypt warned that the failure to reach a deal "will have consequences in front of the Arab world and public opinion", the Associated Press news agency reports.
Last month, Egypt had proposed to stage a regional conference - with or without Israel's participation and without an agreed agenda.
Some analysts suggested that this move might have forced Israel - which is not a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) - to publicly clarify its position on nuclear weapons.
Decisions at NPT review conferences - held every five years - are made by consensus.
The failure of the current talks means the next gathering could only be held in 2020 at the earliest.

A UN conference aimed at preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons has ended in failure after a row over a nuclear-free Middle East proposal.


Mothers-to-be are more likely to get malaria as their immunity is lowered, says the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG).
Malaria carries serious risks for mother and baby including miscarriage, stillbirth and premature labour.
The tropical disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and causes a fever, flu-like symptoms, vomiting and diarrhoea.
There have been no malaria-related deaths in pregnant or recently pregnant women in the UK in the past decade but the RCOG says it has been receiving inquires from worried women.
In the UK, about 1,500 cases of malaria are reported each year and about 10 people will die, said the RCOG.
It says all non-essential trips to areas with a high risk of malaria should be avoided.
Risk areas include large areas of Africa, Asia including China and India, Central and South America, parts of the Middle East and some Pacific Islands.
If the trip is unavoidable, the college advises women to seek advice from a centre with expertise in malaria which will provide information on ways to reduce the risk of infection.
Women should make sure they are aware of the risk, take out measures such as mosquito nets for bite prevention and take anti-malarial medication.
Philippa Marsden, who chairs the RCOG's patient information committee, said although the risks were still relatively small it was important that women were well-informed.
Cath Broderick of the RCOG women's network said: "If women are worried about symptoms after returning from a high-risk country and think they may have malaria, they should see a doctor immediately and inform them of their recent travels."
Symptoms can take a week or more to develop after being bitten.

Pregnant women should visit countries with a risk of malaria only if their trip is essential, experts are warning.


Researchers at the University of Sheffield said the tumours were effectively "fertilising" the bone to help themselves grow.
The study, in the journal Nature, said it may be possible to protect bone from a tumour's nefarious influence and consequently stop the cancer's spread.
Cancer charities said this opened up "a whole new avenue for research".
Around 85% of breast cancers that spread around the body end up in bone, at which point the cancer is difficult to treat and more deadly.
The scientists, in Sheffield and the University of Copenhagen, discovered patients with secondary cancers had higher levels of an enzyme called LOX being produced by their tumours and released into the blood.
Bone is constantly being broken down and rebuilt. But in a series of experiments on mice, the research team showed LOX was disrupting the process and leaving lesions and holes in the bone.
Using drugs to block LOX prevented the cancer from spreading.
Dr Alison Gartland, a reader in bone and cancer biology at the university, told the BBC News website: "We think it's a significant breakthrough in trying to prevent metastases (secondary tumours) in breast cancer.
"The cancer cells in the primary tumour are actually fertilising the soil for the future growth of itself, LOX is changing the environment in bone to make it better to grow."
The animal tests also showed that a set of osteoporosis drugs called bisphosphonates could prevent the spread of cancer.
Bisphosphonates also interfere with the way bone is recycled in order to strengthen it.
They are already given to some cancer patients, but the Sheffield team believe they could have a much larger role.
The effect was discovered only in oestrogen-negative breast cancers. They account for around a third of cases, but are far more deadly.
Katherine Woods, from Breast Cancer Campaign and Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said: "By unveiling the role that the protein LOX is playing, these results open up a whole new avenue for research and treatments that could stop breast cancer spreading to the bone.
"The research also adds weight to the growing body of evidence supporting the role of bisphosphonates in stopping secondary breast cancer in its tracks.
"The reality of living with secondary breast cancer in the bone is a stark one, which leaves many women with bone pain and fractures that need extensive surgery just when they need to be making the most of the time they have left with friends and family."
The findings may also apply in colon cancer.

Breast cancers can manipulate the structure of bone to make it easier to spread there, a study has found.
