I successfully included \usepackage[section]{placeins}, which positions my figures just before bibliography in a very nice way, but there is another problem. The first page of my paper which contained title, abstract and some introduction, now only has title and everything is flashed at the second page. How can i fix that? If i remove \usepackage[section]{placeins} then the first page problem does not appear, but there are the figure between bibliography in the end.
I have 5 tables and a section after them. After creation of an output file I have two tables on one page, then a section and last 3 tables on next page.  What I want to achieve is to put tables and section below them.  \begin{table}[ht]\footnotesize \centering \begin{tabular}{|ll|} ...... \end{tabular} \label{tab:result} \end{table}  \section{Section below tables}
Drawing different tikz shapes parameterized by data from a file I have a file with three columns of data, x, y, r.  # x y r 1 1 0.1 2 2 0.5 3 3 1.2   and so on. I'd like to loop over the rows, and draw a circle at x,y with radius r for each row.  I first thought I'd use pgfplots with customized marks, but I couldn't figure out how to pass the radius parameter into the pgfplot mark handler. Then I thought I'd use tikz and pgf directly, but I couldn't figure out how to reference the values for r inside a draw command sequence.   Any thoughts ? I'd be very grateful for some help. In response to  question, I started to think about what it means when a Wild Magic Surge results in a "You cast spell-X".  So, "specific beats general" gives:   You can cast a second spell when you would not normally be allowed to You can cast a spell you don't know If the surge forces you to cast a concentration spell you would lose any concentration spell that you currently had active Subject to what the specific entry says you can target it how you like Unless the specific entry prohibits it you could use metamagic on the spell   I am pretty confident in all of the above but if anyone disagrees please address in an answer.  Here comes the question.  How does this impact on your available spell slots?  "You cast ..." to me suggests that if you have an applicable slot available then you have to use it to cast the spell because that is the general rule for casting spells but if you don't then "specific beats general" and it is cast anyway.  Specific examples:     You cast fireball as a 3rd-level spell centered on   yourself   This must be a 3rd level spell:   if you have a 3rd level slot available you have to use it? if you don't, if you have 5 sorcery points and a bonus action available must you use these to get that slot? if you don't have any of that then the spell goes off anyway?      You cast confusion centered on yourself.   No level specified and confusion is a 4th level spell:   if you have a 4th level slot available you have to use it? if you have a 4th, a 6th and an 8th level slot you can choose which one to use? if you have only a 5th level slot but also 6 sorcery points and a bonus action, you could choose to use the 5th level slot or use the points to create a 4th level slot? if you don't have any 4th level or higher slots but you have 6 sorcery points and a bonus action available must you use these to get that slot? if you don't have any of that then the spell goes off anyway?   And so on ... Title of a book telling about people teleported to a hostile planet while in deep meditation I read it sometime in the 90's but it seemed at least 15 years old at that time. The title might be containing something with 'wolves' or 'wilderness'.  Alert - Spoilers below      The book tells of some (I think) earth cult that dictates the practice of meditation. This cult is somewhat of a scam as When reaching the top level of meditation the meditator is either teleported or his consciousness abducted (I can't remember..) to be used as a calculation machine by the abductors.   Any references would be greatly appreciated. Skyrim crashes as soon as I boot up into the menu. How do I fix this? Whenever I boot up Skyrim, it crashes as soon as it reaches the main menu with no dialog or anything. I thought this was related to my using dual monitors somehow, but I disconnected the other monitor and the game still crashed. I tried running the game in different resolutions, both full-screen and windowed, at various quality settings; no dice. My computer does meet the minimum requirements to play Skyrim.  How do I fix this problem? Examples of bijective map from $\mathbb{R}^3\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ Removable singularities and an entire function Function $f(z)$ is an entire function such that $$|f(z)| \le |z^{n}|$$ for $z \in \mathbb{C}$ and some $n \in \mathbb{N}$.  Show that the singularities of the function $$\frac {f(z)}{z^{n}}$$ are removable. What can be implied about the function $f(z)$ if moreover $f(1) = i$? Draw a far-reaching conclusion.  My attempt: If the singularities of $\frac {f(z)}{z^{n}}$ are removable, it is entire (not sure, need help with the justification) and bounded, so constant from Liouville's theorem, the constant value of the funcion is $i$, hence $f(z)=iz^{n}$.   But what about the $n$ here, is it arbitrary? Could somebody help me prove the removability of the singularities and suggest if my attempt is going the right way? Auto size image to page size in InDesign I've got an InDesign document with 100 A4 pages.   I've got 100 assets (a mixture of .jpg and .pdf files) and I want to place 1 per page. If an image is not the proportion of the A4 page I would like to get it as big as it can be on the page before it hits into the margin. Ex. if it's a portrait image it should be as large as it can be before hits the top/bottom margin. If it's a landscape image it should be as large as it can be before hits the left/right margin.   At the moment I'm dragging each file across and resizing them manually. Is it possible just drop them on the page and get them auto resized ? Show that $\sum_{n = 1}^\infty n^qx^n$ is absolutely convergent, and that $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}$ $n^qx^n = 0$ I'm having trouble with proving the following for my math study:  Let $x$ be a real number with $|x| &lt; 1$, and $q$ be a real number. Show that the series $\sum_{n = 1}^\infty n^qx^n$ is absolutely convergent, and that $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}$ $n^qx^n = 0$  I tried this:  $\sum_{n = 1}^\infty n^qx^n$ = $x + 2^q + 3^qx^3 + ...$ $= x(1 + 2^qx + 3^qx^2 + ...)$  So far, I don't know how I have to do this, I tried to apply the root test on this, but for that I would need to compute the lim sup of the series, so I thought that was not correct. Could you explain me how to prove this?  Thanks in advance! How to sort an array of objects containing null elements? Technique for finding the nth term I'm a trainee teacher and I need to pass a skills test in maths, but I'm having trouble in this particular area of algebra in finding the nth term of any sequence. I've been given a series of questions to answer one of them is:  Find the nth term of the sequence 3, 8, 15, 24.  I not only need to know the answer but more importantly the technique.

This can be done with two 9 V batteries (as seen below), but can I do this with two non-identical wallwarts? I'm trying to continue the numbering of examples in enumerate environments in beamer. For example, I'd like one slide to feature   Foo Bar   and the next slide   Zip Yadda   My strategy so far has been to define a counter that saves the enumerate counter at the end of the first environment and can then be queried to set the enumerate counter at the start of the second enumerate environment. (This is essentially the proposal also found at )  That works wonderfully so long as I don't try to uncover elements of the slide sequentially. The problem, of course, is that as each of the pdf-pages that make up the slide is created, the counter is advanced. Here's a MWE.  \documentclass{beamer}  \setbeamercovered{highly dynamic}  \newcounter{saveenumi} \newcommand{\seti}{\setcounter{saveenumi}{\value{enumi}}} \newcommand{\conti}{\setcounter{enumi}{\value{saveenumi}}}   \begin{document}  \begin{frame}[&lt;+-&gt;]   \begin{enumerate}   \item foo   \item bar%     \seti   \end{enumerate} \end{frame}  \begin{frame}[&lt;+-&gt;]   \begin{enumerate}     \conti   \item zip   \item yadda%     \seti   \end{enumerate} \end{frame}  \end{document}   As the second slide is progressively uncovered (pages 3 and 4 of the resulting PDF), the counter at the beginning of the enumerate environment is advanced each time. So page 3 of the PDF has the right numbering, (3) and (4) respectively, while the fully revealed page has the wrong numbering. Pictures follow:   on one of the slides    on the following one Seeking block (sub-district) level boundaries for India? I'm looking for block (sub-district) level shapefiles for India.

Where Username Like '%_d' EDIT:  My question was poorly worded.   I wasn't asking about showing $\ln(1+x) &gt; \frac{2x}{2+x}$ for $x&gt;0$.

How can I solve the folowing Diophantine equation with two unknowns? Find one integer solution to the following Diophantine equation:   \begin{equation*} \\\forall \,x,y \in \mathbb{Z}\\ 6xy + x - y = 274 \end{equation*}   The resultat ist $x = 9$, $y = 5$ (Obtained with  )  I need to know a method that allows me to reach such a result. How can I calculate the value of these two variables in a Diophantine equation? For example: 6xy + x - y = 458 Do photons bend spacetime or not? I have read this question:     where Safesphere says in a comment:     Actually, photons themselves don't bend spacetime. Intuitively, this is because photons can't emit gravitons, because, as any massless particles not experiencing time, photons can't decay by emitting anything. The latest theoretical results show that the gravitational field of a photon is not static, but a gravitational wave emanating from the events of the emission and absorption of the photon. Thus the spacetime is bent by the charged particles emitting or absorbing photons, but not by the photons themselves.        where John Rennie says:     as far as I know there has been no experimental evidence that light curves spacetime. We know that if GR is correct it must do, and all the experiments we've done have (so far) confirmed the predictions made by GR, so it seems very likely that light does indeed curve spacetime.   Now this cannot be right. One of them says photons do bend spacetime, since they do have stress-energy, but it is hard to measure it since the energy they carry is little compared to astronomical body's stress-energy. So they do bend spacetime, it is just that it is hard to measure it with our currently available devices.  Now the other one says that photons do not bend spacetime at all. It is only the emitting charge (fermion) that bends spacetime.  Which one is right? Do photons bend spacetime themselves because they do have stress-energy or do they not?
