text: Suppose two teams, A and B, are playing a match to see who is the first to win n games (for some particular n). We can suppose that A and B are equally competent, so each has a 50% chance of winning any particular game. Suppose they have already played i + j games, of which A has won i and B has won j. Give an efficient algorithm to compute the probability that A will go on to win the match. For example, if i = n − 1 and j = n − 3 then the probability that A will win the match is 7/8, since it must win any of the next three games.

The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey (original 2005; edition 2005)
by Candice Millard
Work details
The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey by Candice Millard (2005)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Exciting and interesting. I read it because my dad did. I've not read enough other similar books to judge it objectively or say anything really, but I did really like it.
Excellent reading; highly suspenseful.
This book is called a biography (918.113] and tells of the later life of Theodore Roosevelt after he lost his last try for the presidency but for me it was more a story of the rain forest and an adventure. Roosevelt decides to go on an exploration in South America Amazon. Once there, plans change and instead of taking a known route the expedition decides to go down an uncharted tributary of the Amazon called The Rio da Dúvida. No one on the expedition was prepared for the environment they entered. They did not know the rain forest or how to survive the rain forest and this was all in the early 1900s when there were no phones, no planes and no way to stay in communication with people once they entered this uncharted area. Roosevelt was in his fifties and not in the best of health for such a challenge to endurance. The author, Candice Millard, makes this an enjoyable read that pulls you along like the rapids that the men encounter over and over on the Dúvida. This book covers the natural history of the rain forest flora and fauna and the ecosystem. It also introduces the culture of the indiginous people found living in the rain forest. So this book is natural history, a travel book, an adventure and a biography.
The story of how Teddy Roosevelt decided to travel down an uncharted river, the River of Doubt, in the Amazon basin. Roosevelt and his crew don't have enough supplies or decent boats for the journey and they barely make it through the trip alive. The book starts off slow and doesn't really pick up until the group reaches the River of Doubt. It is at times a harrowing story but I was so annoyed with the group for going into this situation totally unprepared that it lessened my appreciation for the story.
The River of Doubt by Candice Millard
The River of Doubt is about an exploration of a 1,000 mile tributary of the Amazon through dense rain forest and hostile native tribes. However, the most notable part of the exploration is that one of its leaders was former President Teddy Roosevelt. Shortly after loosing his bid for re-election when Roosevelt ran as a third-party candidate, Roosevelt wass persuaded to go to South America where he would speak to various heads of state and tour the Amazon. However, Roosevelt soon transformed what was originally conceived as being more of a pleasure cruise into something much more adventurous - an exploration of one of the unmapped waterways in the Brazilian interior.
Millard, who is an excellent writer, explains how the idea then spun out of control with plans being made for an expedition by people who did not understand what exploring this part of the world meant. Meanwhile, Roosevelt who had a long history of adventure seeking and challenging himself, failed to grasp until very late in the process that the organizers to whom he had entrusted the details did not really understand the undertaking well enough. Moreover, Roosevelt himself comes across as foolishly confident of his ability to persevere, especially considering his age.
The story of the expedition makes clear just how dangerous the journey truly was and how close Roosevelt came to dying in the attempt. The idea of an ex-President disappearing into the wilderness for months today in order to explore unknown lands is unthinkable today. Of course, the modern world also has fewer blank spaces on our maps too. There are no 1,000 mile rivers that lay undiscovered and it has now become a challenge to avoid contact with the rest of the world for months, even in remote places.
Millard's book was a fascinating read for her discussion of Roosevelt's character and the events of the trip itself. I will say that much of the description of the perils of the rain forest read a lot like the descriptions in Jungleland and the Lost City of Z but I suppose there are only so many ways to describe the environment. Ultimately though it is the involvement of Roosevelt that elevates this well done book of exploration into a unique historical event.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0767913736, Paperback)At once an incredible adventure narrative and a penetrating biographical portrait, The River of Doubt is the true story of Theodore Roosevelt's harrowing exploration of one of the most dangerous rivers on earth.
The River of Doubt—it is a black, uncharted tributary of the Amazon that snakes through one of the most treacherous jungles in the world. Indians armed with poison-tipped arrows haunt its shadows; piranhas glide through its waters; boulder-strewn rapids turn the river into a roiling cauldron.
After his humiliating election defeat in 1912, Roosevelt set his sights on the most punishing physical challenge he could find, the first descent of an unmapped, rapids-choked tributary of the Amazon. Together with his son Kermit and Brazil's most famous explorer, Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon, Roosevelt accomplished a feat so great that many at the time refused to believe it. In the process, he changed the map of the western hemisphere forever.
Along the way, Roosevelt and his men faced an unbelievable series of hardships, losing their canoes and supplies to punishing whitewater rapids, and enduring starvation, Indian attack, disease, drowning, and a murder within their own ranks. Three men died, and Roosevelt was brought to the brink of suicide. The River of Doubt brings alive these extraordinary events in a powerful nonfiction narrative thriller that happens to feature one of the most famous Americans who ever lived.
From the soaring beauty of the Amazon rain forest to the darkest night of Theodore Roosevelt's life, here is Candice Millard's dazzling debut.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:19:15 -0400)
Chronicles the 1914 expedition of Theodore Roosevelt into the unexplored heart of the Amazon basin to explore and map the region surrounding a tributary called the River of Doubt, detailing the perilous conditions they faced.

Cytochrome c peroxidase, or CCP is a water-soluble heme-containing enzyme of the peroxidase family that takes reducing equivalents from cytochrome c and reduces hydrogen peroxide to water:
- CCP + H2O2 + 2 ferrocytochrome c + 2H+ → CCP + 2H2O + 2 ferricytochrome c
Cytochrome c peroxidase can react with hydroperoxides other than hydrogen peroxide, but the reaction rate is much slower than with hydrogen peroxide.
It was first isolated from baker's yeast by R. A. Altschul, Abrams, and Hogness in 1940,[1] though not to purity. The first purified preparation of yeast CCP dates to Takashi Yonetani and his preparation by ion exchange chromatography in the early 1960s. The X-ray structure was the work of Thomas Poulos and coworkers in the late 1970s.[2]
The yeast enzyme is a monomer of molecular weight 34,000, containing 293 amino acids, and contains as well a single noncovalently bound heme b. Unusual for proteins, this enzyme crystallizes when dialysed against distilled water. More so, the enzyme purifies as a consequence of crystallization, making cycles of crystallization an effective final purification step.
Much like catalase, the reaction of cytochrome c peroxidase proceeds through a three-step process, forming first a CCP-compound I and then a CCP-compound II:
- CCP + ROOH → CCP-compound I + ROH + H2O
- CCP-compound I + e− + H+ → CCP-compound II
- CCP-compound II + e− + H+ → CCP
CCP in the resting state has a ferric heme, and, after the addition of two oxidizing equivalents from a hydroperoxide, it becomes an enzyme of formal oxidation state V. However, both low-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy show that the iron in CCP-compound I is a +4 ferryl iron, and not in oxidation state V. The other salient feature of CCP-compound I is a long-lived free-radical, whose signal suggests a species other than the porphyrin free-radicals of other peroxidase compound I species. Early on it was recognized to be an organic free-radical, with the bulk of evidence now linking it to the side-chain of the tryptophan residue (Trp-191).
Unlike most peroxidases, CCP-compound I is fairly long-lived, decaying to CCP-compound II with a half-life at room temperature of 40 minutes to a couple hours.

Kingfisher Denies Report on Further Debt Recast
MUMBAI -- Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. Wednesday denied a media report which said the carrier's lenders have rejected its proposal for a fresh round of debt restructuring.
"This is factually incorrect and I have to formally deny that we have conceived of any further debt restructuring plans in Kingfisher Airlines," Ravi Nedungadi, finance chief at the carrier's parent, UB Group, said in a statement.
The Times of India newspaper reported earlier in the day that banks have informally rejected the new proposal from India's second-biggest carrier by market share because of the airline's "weak finances" and losses the lenders incurred in converting loans to equity.
As part of a debt recast exercise early this year, Kingfisher converted a part of its loans to shares and issued those shares to its lenders and some founder companies. The recast helped the airline trim its debt to 60.07 billion rupees ($1.23 billion) in January from 76.51 billion rupees.
Kingfisher Wednesday also said that it plans to swap high-cost rupee loans with cheaper foreign-currency debt. It didn't elaborate.
It has also asked banks to replace the cash reserves held by airplane leasing companies as maintenance reserves, with bank guarantees, to free up cash.

The effect of phonon scattering upon resonance Raman scattering: The use of monochromatically excited resonant light scattering as a probe of ultrafast dephasing and relaxation in the condensed phase71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438760View Description Hide Description
The effects of excited state relaxation and dephasing upon resonance Raman scattering from a molecule in the condensed phase are considered from the perspective of a simple scattering event model, in the weak field limit. The model contains the minimum interactions necessary to produce dephasing of monochromatically excited resonant light scattering (MERLS). Emphasis is placed on how the different relaxation and dephasing processes determine the coherenceproperties of MERLS, from localized electronic states of a molecule perturbed by the environment. We consider how MERLS can be used to probe the line broadening mechanisms of vibronic absorption bands and associated phonon side bands. A comparison is made between the dephasingeffects observed by the time dependent coherent spectroscopic techniques (e.g., photon echoes) and those detectable by spectral analysis of MERLS.
Order–disorder phase transitions in NH4Br x Cl1–x crystals71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438761View Description Hide Description
Single crystals of NH4Br x Cl1–x have been investigated ultrasonically over a wide range of pressure, temperature, and composition. Using the elastic constant c 44 as a convenient probe, we have established the p–T–xphase diagram in the region where the orientations of NH4 + ions undergo long‐range ordering. Two critical surfaces exist: one corresponding to ''ferro'' ordering and one corresponding to ''antiferro'' ordering. These surfaces intersect in a line of triple points closely related to the bicritical points in magnetic spin–flop systems. The adiabatic elastic constants c 11 and C′ (as well as the acoustic absorption associated with these waves) have also been measured along several isobaric paths. The results are consistent with the existence of a master p–Tphase diagram valid for all values of x.
Hydrogen bonding and order–disorder phenomena in ammonium halide crystals71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438762View Description Hide Description
The ordering of NH4 + ions in CsCl‐type ammonium halide crystals is analyzed in terms of a model involving Ising pseudospin–phonon coupling. Direct interactions between NH4 + ions stablize parallel (''ferro'') ordering, and indirect interactions due to spin–phonon coupling stabilize antiparallel (''antiferro'') ordering. The strength of this coupling depends on the mass of the halide ion X, the frequency of an M‐point transverse acoustic lattice mode, and the gradient ΔV′ in the potential for the hydrogen bond between NH4 + and X−. All available data for ordering in NH4Cl, NH4Br, NH4I, ND4Cl, ND4Br, NH4Br x Cl1–x , (NH4) y M1–y Cl, and (NH4) y M1–y Br are used to obtain empirical values of the potential parameter ΔV′. The magnitude of this quantity and the variations in its value with changes in halide ion, pressure, deuteration, and substitution of NH4 + by alkali ions are completely consistent with expectations for systems with weak N–H⋅⋅⋅X hydrogen bonding.
Investigation of the dielectric constants and the diamagnetic anisotropies of cyanobiphenyls (CB), cyanophenylcyclohexanes (PCH), and cyanocyclohexylcyclohexanes (CCH) in the nematic phase71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438763View Description Hide Description
We have measured the dielectric constants of cyanobiphenyls (CB), cyanophenylcyclohexanes (PCH), and cyanocyclohexylcyclohexanes (CCH) using a capacitance bridge with a dielectric cell having a guard ring. The ratio Δχ/Δε was also measured for these materials using a new technique which is applicable when Δχ is small or even negative. As a surprising result we have found that this ratio is almost independent of temperature. The temperature dependence of the diamagneticanisotropies and the dielectric constants of these compounds are given and the results are discussed in terms of the molecular properties.
Study of electronic properties of the SF6 molecule by (e,2e) spectroscopy71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438764View Description Hide Description
(e,2e) spectroscopy has been used to obtain information on the electronic properties of the SF6 molecule, in particular on the valence states. The ordering of the orbitals given by ESCA spectroscopy has been confirmed. The measured electron momentum distributions are compared with the ones calculated from literature wave functions and show a poor agreement. Namely, it is shown that the minimum energy criterion that is successful in calculating the energy eigenvalues is not always sufficient to determine a good wave function basis set suitable to reproduce other chemical‐physics properties. Bonding character of the three outermost orbitals is evidenced well by their momentum distributions; two configuration interaction peaks following the valence orbitals are characterized as well.
Sub‐nanosecond time resolved transient photoconductivity in anthracene71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438765View Description Hide Description
Observations are reported of current, time resolved to 800 psec, in a measurement of transient photoconductivity in anthracene. These measurements indicate that the transient currents associated with photogeneration, polaron formation, and hot carrier motion are over within 800 psec of the light illumination. These measurements also have revealed a new transient photoconductivity effect, a current peak whose duration equals the duration of the laser illumination. Possible origins of the current peak are considered.
Alkali halide photofragment spectra. I. Alkali iodide bond energies and excited state symmetries at 266 nm71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438766View Description Hide Description
Photofragment spectroscopy studies of the five alkali iodides have been done at 266 nm. For the four heavier iodides exclusive production of excited I2 P 1/2 atoms is found; for LiI, both ground and excited I atoms are produced, with ground state atoms favored two to one. From the measured alkali atom recoil time‐of‐flight distributions the following bonddissociation energies (D 0 0) in kcal mol−1 are determined: LiI 81.6±1.0; NaI 71.8±0.5; KI 76.2±0.5; RbI 75.3±0.5; CsI 79.7±0.5. No evidence of dimer photodissociation is found. From recoil angular distributions the percentage parallel character of the transitions at 266 nm is found to be 60±4, 54±2, 51±2, and 51±2 for NaI,, KI, RbI, and CsI, respectively. The transition in LiI leading to ground state I atoms is 29%±3% parallel. Implications of these and other results for the nature of the first and second excited states of the alkali iodides are discussed.
Shock compression data for liquids. I. Six hydrocarbon compounds71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438767View Description Hide Description
Dynamic high pressure equation‐of‐state data are reported for 1,3‐ and 1,4‐cyclohexadiene, cyclohexene, cyclohexane, toluene, and n‐hexane initially in the liquid state. Plane shock waves generated by high explosives produced pressures of 0.5 to 43.0 GPa and densities to twice normal density. Toluene and n‐hexane exhibit transformations at 12.6 and 19.0 GPa, respectively, but cyclohexadiene, cyclohexene, and cyclohexane do not. Decomposition of the molecule is the probable cause for the transition. Results indicate that reducing the number of double bonds by adding hydrogen pairs to the benzene molecule causes the transition to disappear. The shock velocity−particle velocity (u s −U p ) data for toluene, toluene, cyclohexadiene, and n‐hexane are best represented by one or more line segments while cyclohexene and cyclohexane are fit by a quadratic in particle velocity. An extrapolation of the U s −U p curves to zero particle velocity result in a U s value for each liquid that is approximateley 40% higher than the bulk sound speed. The specific volume at a particular pressure for these liquids is ordered such that the hydrocarbon with the larger hydrogen‐to‐carbon ratio has a larger specific volume. This behavior is similar to that observed for other hydrocarbons.
Theory of the Rydberg spectrum of triatomic hydrogen71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438768View Description Hide Description
Energies and properties of the fifteen lowest Rydberg states of triatomic hydrogen are computed using Koopmans theorem with a large Gaussian basis set constructed to represent both core and Rydberg orbitals. Tests indicate that computed virtual orbital energies have converged to within a few wave numbers of the s p d SCF limit. All excited electronic states are computed to have geometries and vibrational force constants close to those of H+ 3. Jahn–Teller effects are weak. Small quantum defects and nearly integer values of electronic angular momenta indicate atom‐like character for the Rydberg states. Predicted vibronic transitions are in remarkably close agreement with rotational band spectra recently observed by Herzberg. Results using our model are in complete accord with Herzberg's assignment of the strong emission bands observed near 5600 and 7100 Å, and offer a reasonable interpretation of the previously unassigned, weak emission bands observed near 6200 and 8500 Å.
Band structure in the C–H stretching region of the Raman spectrum of the extended polymethylene chain: Influence of Fermi resonance71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438751View Description Hide Description
The C–H stretching region of the Raman spectrum of the extended polymethylene chain is unexpectedly complex. This complexity is derived in large part from Fermi resonance interaction between the symmetric C–H stretching fundamental and a near continuum of overtones of the methylene &HCH scissors fundamentals. The Fermi resonance interaction equation is set up and solved for this system. Two unknown parameters are involved: the Fermi resonance interaction constant for an isolated methylene group and the frequency of the unperturbed symmetric C–H stretching fundamental. With adjusted values for these parameters and a reasonable form for the &HCH scissors dispersion curve, the observed positions and relative intensities of bands associated with the stretching fundamental can be accounted for quantitatively.
Vibrational correlation splitting and chain packing for the crystalline n‐alkanes71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438752View Description Hide Description
Vibrational correlation‐splitting patterns for the infrared active methylene rocking–twisting fundamentals of the orthorhombic and monoclinic n‐alkanes have been determined and analyzed.Polarization measurements show that the splitting patterns are different for the two structures. A simple two parameter coupled oscillator model accounts for the observed shapes of the c axis dispersion curves. It is suggested that the results of this analysis may be useful in establishing the type of packing involved in crystals containing long‐chain hydrocarbon molecules.
Generalized Langevin theory for gas–solid processes: Continuum elastic treatment of surface lattice dynamics71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438753View Description Hide Description
Model studies of the systematics of elementary atom–solid energy exchange processes are presented. The studies are based on the generalized Langevin equation (GLE) classical trajectory method [S. A. Adelman and J. D. Doll, J. Chem. Phys. 64, 2375 (1976)] and on a full isotropic continuum elastictreatment of both bulk and surface solid atom velocity response functions ? (t). Within both bulk (BEM) and surface(SEM)elasticmodels, the solid dynamics is parameterized by two bulk properties, a Debye frequency ω D and a transverse to longitudinal sound velocity ratio R s . The Debye model used in earlier GLE simulations is a specialization of the BEM,R s =1.0, and thus does not include surface effects, e. g., Rayleigh waves, accounted for in the SEM. The main results of the trajectory studies are as follows: Gas–solid energy transfer efficiency within the BEM depends very sensitively on R s (for fixed ω D ). For physical R s values ∼0.2–0.6, BEMenergy transfer is often much larger than Debye energy transfer.SEMenergy transfer is relatively insensitive to R s and is, moreover, dominated by the Rayleigh mode contribution to ? (t). The SEMenergy transfer is often fortuitously of comparable magnitude to Debye energy transfer.
Reorientational motions in compressed viscous fluids: Selectively deuterated glycerol71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438754View Description Hide Description
The pressure and temperature dependence of the deuteron NMR spin–lattice relaxation timeT 1 have been measured in liquid glycerol‐d 4, (D2COH)2CHOH, and glycerol‐d 3, C3H5(OD)3, within the pressure range 1 bar to 5 kbar from −10° to 125 °C. The experimental deuteron relaxation data which reflect intramolecular reorientational motions are interpreted in terms of a Cole–Davidson distribution of correlation times. Within experimental error the distribution width β=0.44 is found to be independent of temperature and pressure. A single correlation time model and a model allowing for internal and overall reorientation fail to explain the experimental data without introducing an arbitrary adjustable parameter. The reorientational motions of the carbon backbone and of the hydroxyl groups are strongly correlated reflecting the effect of hydrogen bonds. By comparing the magnitudes of the T 1 values at the minimum of the T 1 vs T plots in glycerol‐d 4 and glycerol‐d 3 the deuteron quadrupole coupling constant is found to be 202 kHz for the hydroxyl deuteron. The dependence of the average correlation time ?2 upon viscosity and the ?2 variation with temperature and density is explained on the basis of a Debye type two term phenomenological equation. A discussion of the experimental data in terms of this equation suggests that the extent of the hydrogen bond network in liquid glycerol is relatively insensitive to density changes but very much reflects the temperature effects. The temperature and pressure dependence of the average correlation time ?2 suggests that the reorientation of the glycerol molecule proceeds via a large‐angle jump diffusion mechanism. A detailed comparison of the present results with the conclusions of other NMR studies is presented.
Correlation function modeling via the third‐order memory function: Application to ethane71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438755View Description Hide Description
In order to understand the vibrational correlation function of the ν3 band of liquid C2H6, it has been necessary to include third‐order memory functions in the modeling procedure. The analysis indicates that the vibrational dephasing process may be a complex one involving both the spinning motion around the threefold symmetry axis and the tumbling motion of the axis itself. Information about the molecular dynamics in the temperature range 93–168 K has been obtained out to 7 ps.
Mixtures of hard spheres in the Percus–Yevick approximation. Light scattering at finite angles71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438756View Description Hide Description
In a previous paper (I), a new equation for the light scattering (or small angle x‐ray or neutron scattering) of a concentrated p‐component mixture of spherical (colloidal) particles in a low‐molecular weight solvent was derived. Use was made of Baxter's factorization of the direct correlation matrix. It was found that the light scattering intensity can be formulated in factorized form as well. The formalism was applied to a multicomponent system of hard spheres treated in the Percus–Yevick approximation. For zero scattering angle, a rather simple, exact expression was obtained. In this paper it is proved that a closed expression can also be obtained for finite scattering angles. It contains at most 18 (averaged) functions of the scattering angle for any number of hard sphere components. This makes it possible to apply the equation to a continuous distribution of hard sphere diameters. A series expansion is given for small scattering wave numbers.
Potential energy curves for NO+71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438757View Description Hide Description
In recent years, high‐resolution photoelectron spectroscopy and a b i n i t i o calculations have considerably revised and enlarged the understanding of the electronic structure of the NO+ ion. Based on these results, new potential energy curves for the electronic states of NO+ below 24 eV have been constructed and are given here. RKR potentials were calculated from new molecular constants for the eight experimentally well‐defined states. For the other states, the main features of the potentials were estimated from theoretical calculations and from isoelectronic analogies. A brief review is given of the information on which each potential energy curve is based.
Rate constants for the reactions of metastable NO+ (a 3Σ+) ions with SO2, CO2, CH4, N2, Ar, H2, D2, and O2 at relative kinetic energies 0.04–2.5 eV71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438758View Description Hide Description
Rate constants for the reactions of NO+(a 3Σ+) ions with SO2, CO2, CH4, Ar, N2, H2, D2, and O2 have been measured for relative kinetic enegeies 0.04–2.5 eV in a flow‐drift tube. Most of these reactions are fast and show little kinetic energy dependence. The reaction with Ar is slightly endothermic and its rate constant increases substantially with increasing energy. For the reactions with SO2, CO2, CH4, and Ar, the reactive channel, largely charge transfer, predominates over quenching. For N2, the reactive and quenching channels are appriximately equal. Lastly, for H2, D2, and O2, quenching predominates, except at higher energies for O2, where the two channels are about equal.
On the product ratios of the reactions of Ar+ with NO and NO+ (a 3Σ+) with Ar at 300 K71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438759View Description Hide Description
The reaction of Ar+ with NO to yield the possible ground‐state NO+(X 1Σ+) and metastable‐state NO+(a 3Σ+) product ions has been studied near 300 K in a flow‐drift tube using helium and argon buffer gases separately. The ''apparent'' rate constant obtained in the argon buffer is an order of magnitude smaller than the rate constant obtained in the helium buffer. The difference in the rate constants is due to the ''back'' reaction of the NO+(a 3Σ+) product ions with the argon buffer‐gas atoms to yield the possible product ions NO+(X 1Σ+) and Ar+. The ratio of the rate constants places precise limits on the product ratios in both cases; namely, the Ar+ + NO reaction yields greater than 85% NO+(a 3Σ+) ions and the ratios NO+(a 3Σ+) + Ar reaction yields greater than 85% Ar+ ions. The data also show that the rate constant for the quenching of NO+(a 3Σ+) ions by NO is (8.0±4.0) ×10−10 cm3/s at 300 K.
Production of NO+(a 3Σ+) ions in the reaction of N+ ions with O2 at 300 K71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438769View Description Hide Description
It is well known that NO+ ions constitute about 45% of the product ions of the ionospherically important reaction of N+ ions with O2. However, NO+ ions in both the ground X 1Σ+ state and the metastable a 3Σ+ state are energetically possible. The present study uses a selected‐ion flow tube to determine the percentage of NO+(a 3Σ+) product ions. It is known from separate studies that NO+(a 3Σ+) ions react rapidly with N2 to form N2 +; therefore, the addition of N2 and the occurrence of N2 + ions provide a monitor for the possible NO+(a 3Σ+) product ions from the N+ reaction with O2. It is found that NO+(a 3Σ+) production accounts for less than 2% of the total rate constant at 300 K.
Molecular dynamics study of a polymer chain in solution71(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.438770View Description Hide Description
The behavior of a polymer chain in solution has been simulated by means of molecular dynamics techniques. The polymer itself is represented by a freely linked chain of hard spheres and the solvent by a hard sphere fluid. Both the equilibrium configurational properties of chains of various lengths and their time‐dependent autocorrelation functions are studied. The equilibrium behavior agrees with the results of previous work. The decay of the autocorrelation functions is exponential over a considerable range and the relaxation times, thus defined, appear to scale with the chain length. The effect of the solvent density is also examined.

Whatever one thinks of Pope John Paul II, no one doubts that he is a passionate man. Passionate about his native land; passionate about the church; and especially passionate about the truth of Jesus Christ. That passion infuses his fourteenth encyclical, Ecclesia de eucharistia, exhorting Catholics to rekindle a sense of awe and gratitude for the "great and transcendent mystery" of the Eucharist.
Relatively short by this pope's standards, the new encyclical, issued this past Holy Thursday, is unique in its personal tone and urgency. Readers will find particularly arresting the pope's exegesis of Luke in illuminating the sacrificial meaning of the Eucharist, his heartfelt reflections on Eucharistic adoration, and his celebration of the sacrament's eschatological nature. John Paul II's evocative recollections of his fifty-six years of priesthood, his expressions of devotion to Mary, his admiration for the Eastern fathers, and his invocation of the aesthetic dimensions of the liturgy enhance this letter and propel its argument. It is hard not to be moved by the depth of the pope's devotion to the eucharistic mystery: "The Eucharist is a straining towards the goal, a foretaste of the fullness of joy promised by Christ (see Jn 15:11); it is in some way the anticipation of heaven, the 'pledge of future glory.'"
To a good many Catholics, that description of Ecclesia de eucharistia may come as something of a...

Colour me blue for fall
One of the things you learn as a painter is that if you want to make colours pop, you use a "complementary colour" or, a colour that is opposite a particular colour on the colour wheel.
That made me think about why so many people want to come to the Parry Sound area to see our beautiful fall colours - the oranges, reds and golds are off-set by the beautiful blue water and skies that are all part of the package!
Once again this year, Explorer's Edge is offering people an incentive to come and see our extravaganza of colours...all you have to do is to book a two-night stay at 40 Bay Street Bed & Breakfast for a visit from September 16th until November 15th - you MUST make your booking by September 15th in order to qualify - and if you are among the lucky 500 people to qualify, you will receive a $50 gas card plus $50.00 worth of cash vouchers to use at local attractions, restaurants and stores.
I have lots of suggestions for ways to enjoy those two days...and make the most of your time in Parry Sound. There are numerous ways to enjoy the fall colours - from the water by taking a cruise on the Island Queen, from the sky with Georgian Bay Airways or through the woods on an ATV with Bear Claw Tours. If your preference is for going under your own steam, why not try a canoe or kayak with White Squall, bike portions of the Park-to-Park Trail or hike the Fitness Trail or paths in Killbear Provincial Park.
So, don't wait - these Fuel and Fun Fall packages sell out fast!

At Spectrum Health United Hospital, new moms come from all walks of life and with unique birthing plans that staff and physicians seek to accommodate whenever possible. But one variable remains constant – every expectant parent hopes that the welcoming of a new baby will be the best experience possible. To make those hopes a reality, planning is underway to expand and renovate the obstetrics department at United Hospital.
The project will create five additional private postpartum rooms and renovate space to include three private labor and delivery suites. The end result will be eight postpartum care rooms and one additional labor and delivery room. This renovation will allow for enhanced privacy, patient experience and growth.
"We strive to provide the best possible care to our patients" said Andrea Sterling, DO, United Hospital OBGYN. "Through this expansion and renovation, patients and families at United Hospital will be provided with more comfort and an enhanced exceptional experience."
Philanthropic support is essential to add these new private rooms. Recently, Spectrum Health Foundation United & Kelsey Hospitals approved the designation of proceeds from the 2014 charity ball to the renovation project. The 2014 charity ball will be held Feb. 9 at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids.
For information on how you can help make the OB department expansion possible, contact the Spectrum Health Foundation United & Kelsey Hospitals at 616-225-6427. To make an appointment with a Spectrum Health United Hospital OB provider, call 616-754-2944.

Isn't it funny how we use to dread getting AF and now that is something we look forward too!! I am glad you got it! I am glad that you are going through that healing now!
I know how it is going to see your nephew. My sister is pregnant (our due dates were a month apart) and its hard trying to keep a smile on your face when she is talking all about getting to find out what she and her DH are having next month and here I am talking about going and getting my D&C.
Its all the start of the healing. Its hard on every woman who is going through so much loss to be excited for what is the most precious time in a woman's life! Enjoy your nephew! And know that your baby is gonna be here soon..... God's perfect timing is everything!

Hi Jackie I'm glad you got your period and that you were able to see your nephew. I am still waiting for mine, I lost my baby boy on Jan. 22. I have been with my neices' baby pretty much everyday I have fed her and bathed her and has made me feel better as well. We will also start trying in April can't wait. It will be here before we know it. Take care
Z&H, A16, M14, B12, A11,A4, our angel in heaven Alexander left us 1/22/09, A3/11/10, A 6/4/2011, Due 11/12/12!
Jackie I'm glad (seems wrong to say) that your period has statrted and it gives me hope for mine to start soon too. It's suprising how much I want to have it when I used to dred every month but let me tell you once I have one I am going to be counting down the days till the next one and then counting down those days b/c it's back in the saddle after that. Hopefully after May is so har dofr us June will be so happy b/c I will be pregnant again.
My husband's cousin has a 15 month old little girl that we see frequently so I understand the how seeing your nephew helped. It was hard seeign her the first time which was only 10 days after we lost Ziggy but it was also good. What wasn't good was when the mother (cousin-in-law) said they were going to try and get pregnant by August with their 2nd I wanted to wring her neck. I had only lost our child 10 days prior.
I am finding it hard not to ask random women if I can hold their baby.
�Aimee wife of Kyle. Mommy to our angel babies�Ziggy Ann (1/21/2009), Baby Klink (5/21/2010), and Liberty Ann (3/30/2011-4/19/2011).

Dear all,
I found this really great WP Plugin Post Office. It is just perfect for my workflow (dictate with Dragon Naturally Speaking text, refine with images in Word 2010, save for future refinements, upload current version, keep the formats AND the images etc.)
Great work guys - thanks a lot for sharing.
However, I have one problem. I format plain text by adding extra lines. The plugin removes the extra lines. I cannot easily add the extra lines in the visual mode of the wp editor, however. I have to use <p> </p> in the html view instead.
Is it possible to fix this in the plugin. Keep the paragraphs in the upload?
Thanks a lot.

Things round here have taken a turn for the slow. I had surgery on my wrist on Friday, and now my right arm is in a splint. I'm left handed so thankfully I am not completely hopeless, but it has made many things, including sewing, a lot harder to do!

Old Age Support and the Well-Being of the Elderly in the People's Republic of China
Date: August 1996
Creator: Pei, Xiaomei
Description: One of the major issues concerning old age security is the adequacy of support systems for the aged population. Population aging and economic development in the People's Republic of China have raised the question about the ability of the family to take care of the elderly. Using the latest data collected by the Research Center on Aging in China of a national representative sample of the aged population, this study develops a model to examine the effectiveness of family support for the elderly during the current socio-economic transition of the society. The model also examines the adequacy and effectiveness of state welfare systems on the aged population and the effect of select socio-demographic factors on the well-being of the elderly in China. The investigation into the social, economic, and health aspects of the life of the elderly provides the background knowledge for understanding the support systems for the elderly in China. The multivariate analyses of the effects of the elderly support systems within the framework of shared functions of the primary groups, and the bureaucracy in achieving social goals, identify the important effects of the economic conditions of the family and the state income maintenance programs on the sense of ...

Counseling Service Needs of Chinese College Students: Student, Faculty, and Student Affairs Staff Perceptions
Date: May 1988
Creator: Chang, Sheue Mei
Description: This study was designed to explore the different perceptions of college students' counseling service needs as well as the perceptions of counseling services by the student, faculty, and student affairs staff groups and subgroups of each group. The research approach of this investigation was a case study of one national university in the Republic of China. This study tested seven hypotheses and the major findings are as follows: there were significant differences among students, faculty, and student affairs staff members' perceptions of counseling services in terms of importance and success. Although all three groups agreed that the achievement of the counseling goals were important, the students showed a significantly stronger expectation than did faculty members. Findings related to the success of counseling services in the institution indicated that student affairs staff members showed higher mean scores than did the faculty and students. All three groups perceived a significant discrepancy between the importance of counseling services and the success of counseling services. Moreover, all subgroups of students, as divided by demographic variables, perceived a significant discrepancy between the importance and success of counseling services. All subgroups of faculty and student affairs staff members, except the members of military instructors and members ...

Piano Music of Native Chinese Composers, with Particular Focus on the Piano Works Since 1950: a Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works of J.S. Bach, L.v. Beethoven, S. Prokofiev, F. Chopin, R. Schumann, J. Brahms, M. Ravel, and A. Skryabin
Date: May 1988
Creator: Yang, Shu-mei
Description: This documents aims at the identification of the sources of influence upon the styles of selected 20th century Chinese composers. Personal influences are reflected as well as those general influences specific to the different stylistic periods discussed. Most important, however, is the description of the methods by which these composers employ contemporary compositional devices to project musical gestures that are uniquely Chinese: elements of culture which are fundamentally programmatic and intimately related to the lives of the Chinese people. The introduction of Western music and musical instruments to China in the early 17th century and cultural exchanges with Japan served to gradually westernize the musical environment and training. The establishment of decidedly Western schools was accomplished at the beginning of this century, with the founding of Peking University and Shanghai National Conservatory. Music theory was taught, as well as history and composition, but with an emphasis on the practices of the 18th and 19th centuries. Compositions from this period reflect Western techniques from these eras, with some use of the pentatonic scale. In the 1930's, nationalism arose, a mirroring of the 19th-century European nationalistic trends. This philosophical conception has remained essentially unchanged to the present, as composers have aimed to ...

A Study of the Perceptions of the Role of Deans of Students at Selected Universities in the Republic of China
Date: May 1988
Creator: Chen, Chin Kuei.
Description: This study was designed to explore the perceptions of the leadership behavior of deans of students at 15 universities in the Republic of China (ROC). The study groups included the deans of students, student affairs staff members, and student leaders within the 15 universities. The Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ) was employed to assess the leadership behavior of the deans of students in the dimensions of initiating structure and consideration. The population included 10 current deans of students and 8 former deans of students, 173 student affairs staff members, and 224 student leaders. In addition, six current deans of students and one officer of the Ministry of Education were interviewed by the researcher. The conclusions are as follows. 1. Current and former deans of students had the same perceptions and expectations of the leadership behavior in the initiating structure and consideration dimensions. 2. Effective leadership behavior of deans of students was associated with high scores on initiating structure and consideration. 3. Deans of students employed different leadership behaviors to lead the student affairs staff members and student leaders. 4. The leadership behavior of the deans of students was inclined toward high initiating structure and low consideration. 5. Deans of students ...

Energy Policy in the Republic of China and Japan, 1970-1985: A Comparative Examination of Energy Politics and Policies
Date: August 1987
Creator: Wang, Han-Kuo
Description: The impact of the energy crises in the 1970s hit all oil-importing countries much harder than it hit countries endowed with domestic supplies of energy. Energy politics and policies for the oil-importing countries have become vital issues that need to be examined. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine and compare the energy politics and policy processes in the Republic of China (ROC) and Japan during the period of 1970-1985. The study focuses on the politics of energy policies, using a policy analysis or systems framework for examining the policy processes in the two countries. A comparison is made of energy environments, the political actors, the institutions, and finally the substance of energy policy. An assessment is then made of the effects or consequences of energy policies on these two countries. In attempting to study energy politics and policies in these two Asian countries, the researcher began with a policy model or conceptual schema of energy politics from which the researcher raised a number of research questions. These questions were used to guide the direction of the study. A comparison was first made of energy systems, and then the major actors in the energy resources field were identified by ...

I noticed there were quite a few threads regarding this subject. But none of them contained any information that solved my issue tonight. All of a sudden, the Add to Any window would not display upon mouseover hovering, but the ATA share and save options would appear in a new web browser window (in large Mama style). It didn't make sense to me that one had to insert code snippets here and there in .php files or test the issue in another theme, etc... I think many Forum users failed to recognize that maybe your anti-tracking module is/was the culprit by blocking Add to Any from displaying the share/save window. That's what I discovered. One has to troubleshoot issues going through a list of very basic culprits first, then move on to the more exotic experiments and solutions. I'm fortunate enough to have delved for 10 years as a support engineer for a popular 3D SW product developer. But that was in another life ;).
Please pass this info along to whomever can benefit from it.

American Teacher
- Studio: First Run Features
- Release Date: Sep 30, 2011
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
There is a passionate, combative and riveting documentary to be made about the plight of the American schoolteacher, but unfortunately the well-meaning, unfailingly decent and overly slack American Teacher isn't it.
The movie is a curious blend of teacher-appreciation mandate and recruitment video, though it's not always clear at whom the narration's gravely spoken factoids are directed.
American Teacher doesn't come close to doing what it sets out to do, but it does end up as a heartfelt, bittersweet portrait of several teachers.
Its inspiring portraits of hardworking subjects make a fine case for raising the bar by rewarding excellence rather than punishing failure.
What's made powerfully clear is that we've reached a dire point of crisis that, while largely rooted in economics, is about so much more than dollars and cents.
There are no user reviews yet.

Wine Details
Wine Description
(From 2005 Vintage) Aromas of currant and fresh flowers follow through to a medium-to-full body, with chewy tannins and a slightly woody finish, but the fruit comes through. Turns long and pretty.
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2010 Vintage) Château Meyney's vineyard is planted of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot, on a perfectly-drained gravel soil that provides ideal conditions for grapes ripening. This unusually high share of Petit Verdot explains a particular trait of the wines, which regularly show notes of leather and musk after a period of time. The wine is full-bodied, well-rounded and structured. After ageing, the wine displays the remarkable charm of the best Saint-Estèphe: complexity, balance and harmony.
