Sometimes I need to look up a certain cross section, say the inclusive Z production cross section at $\sqrt{s}$&nbsp;=&nbsp;7&nbsp;TeV. Is there a place where 'all the' cross sections are tabulated (experimental and theoretical), like the branching ratios are in the ? I know it might be hard, because there is often not 'the' cross section and you have to take into account generator cuts and the likes, but still there should certainly be a review somewhere?
Where to find cross section data for $e^{-}$ + $p$ $\longrightarrow$  $p$ + $e^{-}$ ?  does not include it.
How we fix (La)TeX math coding to be left aligned In display math (employing $$...$$) content normally gets aligned centered. But, I need it to be left aligned. Any suggestions?  Example  $$f(x) = \frac{{{{\sin }^2}x{\mkern 1mu} \cos x}}{{\sin x + \cos x}} -          \frac{1}{4}\tan (\frac{\pi }{4} - x){\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu}           \forall {\mkern 1mu} x \in R - \{ n\pi  - \frac{\pi }{4}\} ,n \in I$$ Use SUM In Update Statement I am attempting to use SUM() in my SET statement for my UPDATE.

How to set edge bevel weights from a python script I need to set weights for some edges from a python script. I have tried looping through object.data.edges and setting bevel_weight values but I can't get it right. It only works if I have first edited some edge's bevel weight by hand from the 3d-view's transform window. But I would like to get it work from my script without any manual hacking.  Steps to reproduce:  Start Blender with default cube and switch to Scripting view.  Try to set weights for all edges:  for edge in C.object.data.edges:     edge.bevel_weight = 1.0   Verify that values changed:  for edge in C.object.data.edges:     edge.bevel_weight   Switch into edit mode in 3d-view and open up transform window by pressing n. Select edges to see that the change did not work (bevel weights are all zero). Switch back to object mode and read values again in scripting console to see that they were reset to zero:  for edge in C.object.data.edges:     edge.bevel_weight   Go back to edit mode and change some edge bevel weight straight from the transform window by hand. Go back to object mode and change values again from the scripting console:  for edge in C.object.data.edges:     edge.bevel_weight = 1.0   This time it works, bevel weights are 1.0 when you go back to edit mode and look from the transform window.   Any ideas? My final need is to apply a bevel modifier to only some set of edges and that's why I'm trying to mark them by using weights. Using vertex group for bevel modifier does not work in my situation, since I need to specify edges, not vertices, which to bevel.   I'm using Blender v2.71. Analog voltage level conversion (level shift) I have a joystick that puts out analog voltage somewhere between 1.5V and 3.5V.  I want to transform this range of voltage to control a motor controller that takes analog voltage between 0V and 5V.  How do I level shift and amplify properly? The Degree of Zero Polynomial. I wonder why the degree of the zero polynomial is $-\infty$ ?  I heard that, it is $-\infty$ to make the formula $\deg(fg)=\deg(f)+\deg(g)$ hold when one of these polynomials is zero. However, if that was the only reason we could have said that it is $\infty$ instead. I just picked up a copy of Windows 7 Pro OEM for install on my computer.  Guy at the store said the only real difference between OEM and standard retail box was tech support.  However, the outside of the box has this big warning that says "The software must be installed with an OPK"?  What is the OPK?  Is it really necessary?  The MS site about it seemed to say it was optional.  EDIT:  BTW - I'm just an individual tinkerer, and not a System Builder Company Employee.  I should have made that clear.  I've used sysprep in a professional setting in the past, so I'm somewhat familiar with its concepts. Why do DNGs only show in low resolution on Google Photos? Through my NAS at home I store and backup all my photos on Google Drive. These photos also show up on Google Photos. I use Lightroom and convert all photos to DNG when copying to my NAS.  When I look at the photos in Google Photos the image is rather small. Clicking the (i) info button tells me the image has a resolution of 1024x680, file size 9.8 MB and a MP of 0.7. This is probably just a preview or thumbnail of some sort, but how do I view the image in larger resolutions in Google Photos? AES plaintext is smaller than 128 bits - how to expand? We are currently developing a little AES implementation in a crypto-course at university.  As far as I know, AES uses a 128 bit block length, so all data that will be encrypted gets split up into blocks of 128 bits (16 bytes) into a 2d-array (or 1d in implementation) with 4 &times; 4 fields.  I was wondering and didn't find out what to do if the entered string to encrypt is not 128 bits long? The question is going further by thinking that there will never be exactly n &times; 128 bits of data to encrypt.  For a smaller key given by the user (e.g. "test") I know there is a key expansion algorithm defined.  But what should be done for data that is less than 128 bits? Let $n\in\mathbb N$ and let $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ be natural numbers smaller than $10^n$. Write each $a_k$ in base $10$ and add $0$'s to the left of each decimal expansion, if needed, so that each $a_k$ is written with $n$ digits. Consider the matrix such that the entries of the $k$th row are the digits of $a_k$ (written in the same order). Let $d\in\mathbb N$ be such that $d$ divides each $a_k$. Prove that $d\mid\det A$.   For instance, suppose that $n=4$ and that your numbers are $3876$, $2784$, $684$, and $8388$, each of which is a multiple of $12$. Then$$A=\begin{bmatrix}3 &amp; 8 &amp; 7 &amp; 6 \\  2 &amp; 7 &amp; 8 &amp; 4 \\ 0 &amp; 6 &amp; 8 &amp; 4 \\  8 &amp; 3 &amp; 8 &amp; 8\end{bmatrix}$$and $\det A=-360$, which is, in fact, a multiple of $12$.

How to move a window if titlebar is overlapped by Ubuntu menu Given a $k$-manifold $M$, such that $\partial M$ is a $(k-1)$-manifold, there is a standard way in which $\partial M$ inherits the orientation of $M$. So if $M$ is oriented by the form field $\omega$, then $\omega_\partial=\omega(v_{\text{out}},v_1,\dots,v_{k-1})$ orients $\partial M$, where the $v_1,\dots,v_{k-1}$ are basis vectors for a tangent space on a point of the boundary, and $v_\text{out}$ is an outward pointing vector (see here: , which follows the exposition of Hubbard &amp; Hubbard).  In practice I find this very difficult to interpret. How can one find this $v_\text{out}$ in practice?   For instance, take $M$ to be defined by $z=x^2+y^2$ for $x\ge0$ (technically a manifold with boundary, in fact a half-paraboloid). It's a fact that $\partial M$ is defined by the parabola $z=y^2$. If $M$ is oriented by $dx\wedge dy$, how does this induce an orientation on the boundary (in fact we should obtain a 1-form that induces an orientation on the boundary)?   Note: I find the whole discussion of boundary orientation to be rather clumsy in its exposition. In the case of surfaces inducing orientations on boundary curves, I was originally taught to imagine that the normal vector that induces the surface orientation is me walking on the surface. This normal should walk along the boundary such that the surface lies to its left. OK - but how does this translate to the $v_{\text{out}}$ interpretation, so that we can generalize to other dimensions easily?)  Edit: An ideal answer would merge the intuitive approach with the rigorous approach, if possible. I would grateful to anybody who could help order my (at present confused) understanding! When adjusting the volume in Windows 8.1, a box appears at the top left corner of the screen. This box sticks around for ~13 seconds before it fades away.

Multiple Apple Developer Accounts WP List Table custom quick edit box - post meta data missing and columns change on submit I have extended class WP_List_Table to create a custom sortable table of posts along with a quick edit box with custom meta boxes.  The meta boxes populate and save but when I click submit the field values disappear and the defaults ( cb, title, tags, cats, etc) which are not even included in my class get added back to the column saved. This throws off the other columns on the page.  The saved custom field values return when the page is refreshed.  It seams like on submit the $post_object is missing.  I'm using a hacked get_inline_data function that includes the meta_values in my quick edit form instead of calling get_inline_data in my class.
