Is it normal for a journal submission to show “With Editor” for more than forty days?
What steps does a manuscript typically go through from submission to publication (or rejection) in a typical journal? How are these steps referred to, in particular by editorial systems, and how long do they each typically take?  Note that this question is about the typical situation and hence not about:   Journals with an atypical workflow, e.g. those that allow for an instantaneous reviewer–author interaction. Exceptional steps or rare occurrences such as withdrawal or .   This is a canonical question on this topic as per . Due to its nature, it is rather broad and not exemplary for a regular question on this site. Please feel free to improve this question.
Show that f(x) = inf{g(x1)+h(x2)} is convex subject to x1+x2=x and where g(.) and h(.) are convex functions.  Can I just go about this by using the regular definition of a convex function or which properties should I use? I know that the sum of convex functions is convex, but the infimum part confuses me. Thank you Please help me to draw the following diagram:  \begin{displaymath} \xymatrix{ H\ar[r]&amp;H .1={}_HI_Q\supset 1.Q&amp;Q\ar[l]_\epsilon^{\cong}  \\  &amp;R\ar[u]\ar[r]&amp;R\ar[u] } \end{displaymath} Word for a person who continually tries to teach you when it's not necessary I've experienced this way too many times, and the best example I can give is a person who treats you like you have no idea how to do X and who keeps teaching you how to do it. I feel handicapped. Take for example how to play a card game. You know how to play the game because you've played it 5 times. However, there is a person always insists on explaining the game to you - like you are always new to the game - when you don't actually need any help and you just want to think for yourself. Another example situation is doing a repetitive task which you already have experience with, and yet the person continually tries to 'teach' you when you don't need help/already know how to do it. It almost makes you mad because you really don't need help. As an example which recently happened to me:  &quot;Hey, do you remember how to start the wood chipper?&quot; &quot;Yes I do&quot; &quot;Okay, well, let me show you one more time&quot;  Again, is there a term for someone who does this? Controlling colors of points in ListPlot How can I give a user one password for normal usage when logging in, and another password for system administration and sudo access? I want one user to have two passwords. How to apply standardization/normalization to train- and testset if prediction is the goal? I've got a situation where I have a 240V 30A dryer line, and I want to power something else from the same circuit, but NEVER at the same time as the dryer. I'm looking for a switch to use, like a DPDT ON-ON break-before-make switch. There are tons of DPDT switches I've found, and most seem to be ON-OFF. Hardly any show their wiring diagrams, so if they don't give more details, I don't know if they'll work. Note: the second circuit will not use more than 15A, maybe just 12A.  I'm hoping someone can recommend specific switches that will do what I want. Manufacturer and exact part# is what I'm looking for.   Personally, I don't care if it's a knife switch, something that looks like a standard light switch, two buttons, has relays, I don't care. The breaker box is full, it's a long and difficult wire run, and I do not need a separate circuit because I'll NEVER need to run both devices at once.  I could resort to just using one plug and unplugging one then plugging the other one in, but I don't see the point of constantly exposing live wires (the plugs) where something could inadvertently fall on them or water could be sprayed, instead of keeping things all sealed in the wall with a safe, simple switch between two plugs. How can I find the files that were stored on my flash drive before I installed Ubuntu to it?   Edit: No, I didn't format it, my files are still on the flash drive root. I just need to know how to access them there. Spoilers Alert!!!      Bran sees that Jon is the son of Lyanna at Tower of Joy.   However, People of the north won't just believe words.  Howland Reed was with Eddard at the tower, Eddard is dead, but Howland could be alive. Even if Howland Reed comes forth and tells Jon's true lineage. It will still be just words.   Why would the people believe the words of a child and an old man? Why did Eve die with Maelon's data available? I saved Wrex in ME1, I saved Maelon's data in ME2, the import screen in ME3 confirmed this.    When I get to the missions on Tuchanka, I completed every one of the side missions before starting the mission where they take down the Reaper and distribute the genophage cure.  Then when I finally get to the lab, Mordin tells me that Eve has died.    Yet every site I've been to says that keeping the data allows her to live.  So why did she die? As much as I like having the hardcover core rule-books in front of me, usually I read or reference most information for RPGs on my computer.  Unfortunately, my google-fu has failed me at finding places to buy a Player's Handbook PDF, or even whether said PDF exists at all.  My question is this: Is there any place I can go to legally buy a D&amp;D 5e core rulebook PDF?  I'm not looking for the starter set or basic rules, since those are incomplete (and free), I'm just looking for the core books in PDF format. Does the Black Panther suit give extra speed? So in Civil War, the Black Panther suit seems to give the suit holder some extra speed, because the guy was running as fast as Bucky and Captain America.  So does it give extra speed? If so, how does that work? Converse to Chinese Remainder Theorem So as seen on this question , we know that if $(n,m) \neq 1$, then $\mathbb{Z} /mn \mathbb{Z} \ncong \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$, because the right hand side does not have an element of order $nm$.  But take a more general setting. Let $R$ be a commutative ring, and let $A,B$ be ideals in $R$. $A$ and $B$ are said to be comaximal if $A+B=R$. If $A, B$ are comaximal, then we have: $R/AB \cong R/A \times R/B$. In this setup, is the converse true?      If we have $A, B$ ideals in $R$ such that $R/AB \cong R/A \times R/B$, do we always have that $A$ and $B$ are comaximal? Why does network ad URL from SO to history.SE mention Ask Ubuntu? Today, I was on Stack Overflow when I noticed an interesting ad pointing to history.SE (actual square ad, not just Hot Network Questions).  The link in the ad was:    which resolves to:  https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/23946/what-were-greek-and-roman-sails-made-from?utm_medium=ad&amp;utm_source=http-askubuntu-com-questions-471178-converting-hundreds-of-jpg-to-pdf-using-te&amp;utm_campaign=history.stackexchange.com-promo&amp;utm_content=23946  (link form for conveniece: )  The confusing part os the URL is: utm_source=http-askubuntu-com-questions-471178-converting-hundreds-of-jpg-to-pdf-using-te. The ad is from SO to history.SE, it doesn't have anything to do with Ask Ubuntu, so why does it appear in the URL? Is this a bug?

Improving your own suggested edit makes you leave the First Posts review queue When reviewing the First Posts (and Late Answers) review queue, after you suggest an edit, you're back in the review queue and the I'm Done button is activated. So far, so good, but when I realize I want to edit something else as well (I often forget the tags), I can click the 'edit' link again. When I'm done improving my suggested edit, I'm suddenly outside the review queue.    This does not happen if you have enough reputation (2k) to edit posts straight away; then you always stay in the review queue. alias multi commands as one alias I made an alias for youtube-dl  with some options  like that  yd="youtube-dl -cit -f 18"   so I can download it like   yd URL   I want to modify it to show only the two lines from the output using   grep -e "Downloading video #" -e ETA  I can make it in two aliases using the |   but is there a way to make it one alias How can I access and process nested objects, arrays or JSON? I'm trying to create globally-unique identifiers in JavaScript.  I'm not sure what routines are available on all browsers, how &quot;random&quot; and seeded the built-in random number generator is, etc. The GUID / UUID should be at least 32 characters and should stay in the ASCII range to avoid trouble when passing them around.
