Cell pH of rat renal proximal tubule in vivo and the conductive nature of peritubular HCO3- (OH-) exit.
Intracellular pH (pHc) was measured on surface loops of rat kidney proximal tubules under free-flow conditions in vivo using fine tip double-barrelled pH microelectrodes based on a neutral H+ ligand. The microelectrodes had Nernstian slopes and a resistance of the order of 10(12) omega. By using a driven shield feed back circuit the response time to pH jumps was lowered to around 1 s. At a peritubular pH of 7.42 and a luminal pH of 6.68 +/- 0.13 (n = 27), pHc was 7.17 +/- 0.08 (n = 19). Perfusing the peritubular capillaries suddenly with bicarbonate Ringer solutions of plasma-like composition which were equilibrated with high or low CO2 pressures, acidified or respectively alkalinized the cells rapidly as expected from the high CO2 permeability of the cell membranes. Such data allowed us to calculate the cytoplasmic buffering power of the tubular cells. Sudden peritubular perfusion with Ringer solution containing only 3 mmol/l of HCO3- at constant physiological CO2 pressure led to a similar fast cell acidification which indicated that the peritubular cell membrane is also highly permeable for bicarbonate or OH- (H+). The latter response was completely blocked by the stilbene derivative SITS at the concentration of 10(-3) mol/l. The observations indicate first that pHc of rat proximal tubule is more acidic than was previously thought on the basis of distribution studies of weak acids, second that intracellular bicarbonate concentration is around 13 mmol/l and third that bicarbonate exit across the peritubular cell membrane is a passive rheogenic process via a conductive pathway which can be inhibited by SITS.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Lesson Title: Understanding pH and its Effects on Cells

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about pH and its effects on cells. We will discuss what pH is, how it is measured, and how it affects the function of cells.

What is pH?
pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is calculated using the formula: pH = -log10[H+], where [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, while a pH below 7 is acidic and a pH above 7 is alkaline.

How is pH measured?
pH can be measured using a pH meter or pH indicator. A pH meter uses a glass electrode that is sensitive to changes in pH. The electrode is placed in the solution and the pH is displayed on a screen. A pH indicator is a substance that changes color depending on the pH of the solution. The color change can be used to determine the pH of the solution.

Why is pH important?
pH is important because it affects the function of cells. Cells are sensitive to changes in pH and can only function within a certain range. For example, the enzymes in cells work best at a specific pH, and if the pH changes, the enzymes may not function properly. Additionally, cells use pH to regulate their internal environment.

Example:
Consider a cell in the human body. The cell needs to maintain a specific pH to function properly. If the pH outside the cell changes, the cell must respond to maintain its internal pH. This can be done by using buffers, which are substances that absorb excess hydrogen ions and prevent a significant change in pH.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about pH and its effects on cells. We discussed what pH is, how it is measured, and why it is important. We also looked at an example of how cells regulate their internal pH. By understanding pH, we can better understand how cells function and how they respond to changes in their environment.

text: For this week I selected a photo from my trip to Cuba earlier this year.. This photo was taken in Havanna. The old buildings from time past are still present. They give Havanna a real nice atmosphere. As you can see, these buildings desperately need maintenance. Although, the original grandeur of the building still persists.. One can only hope, that the recent political developments enable Cuba to restore such buildings to their original grandeur, rather than replacing them with modern 'architecture'.

Lesson: Introduction to Photography

**Section 1: What is Photography?**
Photography is the process of capturing light and turning it into an image. It is a way of recording moments and memories through pictures. Photography is an art form that requires creativity, skill, and knowledge of light, composition, and subject matter.

**Section 2: How does Photography work?**
Photography works by exposing light-sensitive material to light. When light hits the camera's sensor or film, it creates an image. The amount of light that enters the camera determines the exposure of the image. Photographers use different techniques to control the amount of light that enters the camera, such as adjusting the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

**Section 3: Types of Photography**
There are several types of photography, including portraiture, landscape, wildlife, architecture, and documentary. Each type of photography requires different skills and techniques. Portraiture involves capturing people's faces and expressions, while landscape photography involves capturing the beauty of nature. Wildlife photography involves capturing animals in their natural habitats, while architecture photography involves capturing the design and structure of buildings. Documentary photography involves capturing events and stories that tell a narrative.

**Section 4: Composition**
Composition is an essential aspect of photography. It refers to the arrangement of elements within a frame. Good composition involves balancing the subject matter, using leading lines, and creating a sense of depth. Photographers use the rule of thirds to compose their images effectively.

**Section 5: Light and Exposure**
Light is one of the most crucial elements of photography. It affects the mood, tone, and overall look of an image. Photographers use different types of light, such as natural light, artificial light, and mixed light, to create different effects. Exposure refers to the amount of light that enters the camera. Proper exposure is essential to ensure that the image is not too dark or too bright.

**Section 6: Camera Settings**
Camera settings are essential for capturing good images. Photographers use different camera settings, such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, to control the amount of light that enters the camera. Aperture refers to the size of the lens opening, while shutter speed refers to the length of time that the camera's shutter is open. ISO refers to the sensitivity of the camera's sensor to light.

**Section 7: Post-Processing**
Post-processing is the process of editing images after they have been captured. Photographers use different software programs, such as Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, to edit their images. Post-processing involves adjusting the color, contrast, and brightness of an image.

**Conclusion**
Photography is an art form that requires creativity, skill, and knowledge of light, composition, and subject matter. By understanding the basics of photography, such as exposure, composition, and camera settings, photographers can capture stunning images that tell a story or evoke emotions. With practice and patience, anyone can learn to take beautiful photographs.

**Glossary**
- Aperture: The size of the lens opening
- Exposure: The amount of light that enters the camera
- ISO: The sensitivity of the camera's sensor to light
- Composition: The arrangement of elements within a frame
- Rule of Thirds: A composition technique that divides the frame into nine equal parts
- Leading Lines: Lines that lead the viewer's eye through the image

#101: Chanoma

4:29 PM

Hi guise!
I haven't gotten the chance to go out with emilyy in a while (more like a long time), so we (MLYS) decided to go out on one of the days we had early leave on! Due to the craze about Chanoma being the Green Tea/Matcha Master, we opted to try it out! I have no idea if we're ahead of the trend or just jumping on the bandwagon!

Chanoma is a Japanese cafe, which sells green tea deserts, drinks, and Jap-dogs (Japanese style hotdogs). As we were quite full and it was very hot, we chose two deserts:

Matcha Anmitsu ($6.50) consists of green tea soft serve, a dollop of red bean, dango and agar jelly at the bottom. It tasted as I expected: green tea; red bean; rice cakes; agar jelly. Done well, but no WOW-factor (this is what happens when you're a HSC language student! HAHA!!)

Matcha Shiratama Parfait ($9.50) was 1/2 a cup of matcha ice cream, Special K cornflakes, red bean, dango, strawberries, canned fruit (pineapple and peach), taro and sweet potato "jelly" (which you can't see..), wafer, ice cream cone, pocky and whipped cream
To me it tasted the same as the anmitsu, only because it was practically the same thing.... Not much to say about it (see above (?)) except the fact that pineapple and matcha DO NOT match AT ALL....The cornflakes gave it a nice crunch, but got soggy rather quickly...
Also, it was rather "hard" to eat....there were so many elements that you had to get through (i.e. the cone, wafer, pocky etc.), so get a friend if not two to help you with this one.

Overall, the food was nice. However, to me, it felt a bit rip (maybe because I'm so poor compared all the other office working people who eat there). They have a soft serve cone there, priced at $2.90, but if I were to choose, I would walk across the road to have Mizuya's $1 soft serve...tastes rather similar, except Chanoma's is in a waffle cone...

I might not come back for green tea(..or will I?), but i will to try out the Jap-dog and maybe the Shaker Fries! Maybe I'll give their Matcha floats a try, but who knows!

# Lesson 1: Introduction to Matcha

## Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about Matcha, a type of powdered green tea that originated in Japan. We will explore its history, health benefits, and cultural significance. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the basics of Matcha and appreciate its unique flavor and aroma.

## Objectives
- Understand the history and cultural significance of Matcha
- Explain the health benefits of Matcha
- Identify the differences between Matcha and other types of green tea
- Recognize the unique flavor and aroma of Matcha

## Background
Matcha is a fine powder made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It has been used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies for centuries. The name "Matcha" comes from the Japanese word "macha," which means powdered tea. Matcha is known for its bright green color and distinct taste, which is slightly bitter and sweet.

## History
The practice of drinking Matcha dates back to the 9th century when Chinese Zen Buddhists began drinking powdered tea to stay alert during long hours of meditation. In the early 12th century, the practice of drinking Matcha spread to Japan, where it became an important part of Japanese culture. Today, Matcha is still widely consumed in Japan and has become popular around the world.

## Health Benefits
Matcha is rich in antioxidants, which are compounds that protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells, leading to illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Drinking Matcha may help reduce the risk of these diseases by neutralizing free radicals.

Additionally, Matcha contains a compound called catechin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is linked to several chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer. By reducing inflammation, Matcha may help lower the risk of these diseases.

Finally, Matcha may also help improve mental focus and clarity. This is due to the amino acid L-theanine, which is found in Matcha leaves. L-theanine has a calming effect on the mind, while also promoting alertness and concentration.

## Differences Between Matcha and Other Types of Green Tea
Unlike other types of green tea, Matcha is made from ground tea leaves. When preparing Matcha, the entire leaf is used, resulting in a richer, more complex flavor than other types of green tea. Additionally, Matcha contains a higher concentration of antioxidants and caffeine than other green teas.

## Conclusion
Matcha is a unique and flavorful type of green tea that has a rich history and cultural significance in Japan. It offers numerous health benefits, including reducing the risk of chronic diseases and improving mental focus. By understanding the basics of Matcha, you can appreciate its unique flavor and aroma and enjoy this delicious beverage.


text: At the Lisbon European Council meeting (2000), the European Union declared a new strategic goal: “to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge based economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion”. The aim is to advance Europe further towards a new, digital economy.. But, since the inception of the information age, debates have ensued re: the relationship between information and communication technology and economic growth. Often fuelling this debate is the productivity growth differentials between the European Union and the United States of America, particularly during the 1990s and early 2000s.. As part of a college assignment, I wrote the following report to discuss the contribution of ICT sector technological change to the economic growth of the EU and USA.Take a look if you wish… The Economics of IT

Title: The Contribution of ICT Sector Technological Change to Economic Growth

Introduction:

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been a driving force behind economic growth in many countries around the world. In this report, we will explore the contribution of ICT sector technological change to the economic growth of both the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA). We will examine the role that ICT has played in these economies, as well as the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

The Role of ICT in Economic Growth:

ICT has had a significant impact on economic growth in both the EU and the USA. It has facilitated the development of new industries, increased productivity, and created new job opportunities. The use of ICT has also enabled businesses to operate more efficiently, reduce costs, and expand their reach.

In the EU, the ICT sector accounts for approximately 5% of total economic output. This is significantly higher than the global average of 3%. The EU's ICT sector is also responsible for creating over 6 million jobs, which is equivalent to 3% of the total workforce.

Similarly, in the USA, the ICT sector accounts for approximately 10% of total economic output. This is the highest contribution of any sector in the US economy. The ICT sector is also responsible for creating over 10 million jobs, which is equivalent to 7% of the total workforce.

Challenges and Opportunities:

While the ICT sector has contributed significantly to economic growth in both the EU and the USA, there are still challenges that need to be addressed. One of the biggest challenges is the digital divide, which refers to the gap between those who have access to ICT and those who do not. This divide can create disparities in education, employment, and overall quality of life.

Another challenge is the need for continued investment in ICT infrastructure. As technology advances, it is essential that countries continue to invest in their ICT infrastructure to ensure that they remain competitive in the global marketplace.

Opportunities also exist for countries to leverage ICT to drive innovation and growth. For example, the development of smart cities utilizing ICT could lead to more efficient use of resources, reduced environmental impact, and improved quality of life for citizens.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the ICT sector has played a significant role in driving economic growth in both the EU and the USA. While there are still challenges that need to be addressed, there are also opportunities for continued growth and innovation. By investing in ICT infrastructure and leveraging the power of technology, countries can continue to drive economic growth and improve the lives of their citizens.

text:
After signing the country’s strictest abortion ban into law Wednesday, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) explained her reasoning in a statement, citing “Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God.”

But that belief is not reflected in the state’s abysmal statistics when it comes to child mortality, child poverty, food insecurity, education, child care, or paid family leave. Indeed, Ivey’s stated commitment to giving “every person the best chance for a quality life and promising future” doesn’t seem to extend beyond the womb.

Under Alabama’s total abortion ban, providers could face jail time of 10 to 99 years for providing abortions. Patients are exempt from criminal and civil charges. The only exception is if the health of the pregnant person is at serious risk. There are no exceptions for rape or incest. The law will go into effect in 2020, but is expected to be met with lawsuits before then.

Meanwhile, Alabama has the fourth worst infant mortality rate in the country, at 7.4 deaths for every 1,000 births, according to the most recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data. This number is actually the lowest in the state’s history, a glaring sign that infant health has long been a major problem in Alabama. And there are significant disparities between black and white infants: The Alabama Department of Public Health found that the 2015 infant mortality rate for black infants was the highest it has been in a decade, at 15.3 per 1,000 births, while the white infant mortality rate was at its lowest, at 5.2.

But the Alabama legislature has done little to tackle this problem, choosing instead to focus primarily on “fringe issues and oddball causes that don’t improve Alabamians’ lives and health,” the editorial board of a local newspaper wrote in 2018.

The same holds true of the state’s child poverty rate. A 2018 report by VOICES for Alabama Children found that there were more children living in poverty in 2018 than in 2000. About 26.5% of children in Alabama live in poverty, including about 30% of children under the age of 5.

Alabama is also one of the most food insecure states in the country, with more than 16% of the population struggling to afford food. This means that more than one in five children grow up hungry. The problem, as Hunger Free America CEO Joel Berg explained to Alabama Today, has much to do with the state’s lack of a minimum wage, instead abiding by the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.

“It’s no surprise that we again found that states with higher minimum wages have less hunger among working people and states with lower minimum wages had more hunger among working people,” he said.

Exacerbating the situation are recent drops in food stamp recipients, thanks to the expiration of a federal waiver that allowed Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients to be exempt from work requirements. Now, all able-bodied SNAP recipients between the ages of 18 and 49 who aren’t raising children must have at least a part-time job to qualify for benefits. Last year, 38,000 Alabamians lost eligibility to food stamps.

Alabama consistently ranks as one of the worst states when it comes to public education. The state’s per pupil funding of $9,497 is significantly lower than the national average of about $11,400. Similarly, Alabama has done little to enact regulations for childcare services, allowing hundreds of child care centers to claim a religious exemption from licensing, even as child injuries and deaths at unlicensed centers have garnered attention over the past few years.

The average family in Alabama has a tough time affording child care, as the cost of taking care of one infant demands 11% of a family’s income. Research by the Economic Policy Institute found that this cost is “out of reach for low-wage workers.”

Making matters worse, Alabama does not have a statewide paid family leave policy. According to the National Partnership for Women and Families, “This means Alabamians face impossible choices when new children are born or adopted and when serious personal or family health needs inevitably arise.”

Lesson Title: The Impact of Beliefs on Public Policy

Introduction:
Public policy is influenced by many factors, including personal beliefs. This lesson will explore how personal beliefs can impact public policy, using the example of Alabama's strict abortion ban.

Section 1: Understanding Personal Beliefs and Public Policy

**Topic 1: Personal Beliefs**
Personal beliefs are ideas that individuals hold to be true, but may not have scientific or factual evidence to support them. These beliefs can be influenced by culture, religion, upbringing, and personal experiences.

**Topic 2: Public Policy**
Public policy refers to the laws, rules, and actions of government that affect citizens. Public policy is created by elected officials who represent the interests of their constituents.

**Question**: How can personal beliefs impact public policy?
**Answer**: Personal beliefs can impact public policy by influencing the decisions of elected officials. For example, if a politician holds a personal belief that abortion is wrong, they may support laws that restrict access to abortion services.

Section 2: The Abortion Ban in Alabama

**Topic 1: The Abortion Ban in Alabama**
In 2019, the state of Alabama passed a law that banned all abortions, except in cases where the mother's life was in danger. The law was signed by Governor Kay Ivey, who stated that she believed every life was precious and a sacred gift from God.

**Question**: How does the abortion ban in Alabama reflect the personal beliefs of Governor Ivey and other supporters?
**Answer**: The abortion ban in Alabama reflects the personal beliefs of Governor Ivey and other supporters because they believe that all lives are precious and should be protected, even if it means restricting a woman's right to choose.

Section 3: The Impact of Personal Beliefs on Public Policy

**Topic 1: Child Mortality**
Despite having some of the strictest abortion laws in the country, Alabama also has one of the highest rates of child mortality in the United States. This suggests that personal beliefs may not always align with policies that actually improve people's lives.

**Topic 2: Child Poverty**
Alabama also has one of the highest rates of child poverty in the country. This suggests that personal beliefs may not always align with policies that actually improve people's lives.

**Topic 3: Food Insecurity**
Alabama also has a high rate of food insecurity, which means that many families struggle to get enough to eat. This suggests that personal beliefs may not always align with policies that actually improve people's lives.

**Topic 4: Education**
Alabama spends less per student on education than most other states. This suggests that personal beliefs may not always align with policies that actually improve people's lives.

**Topic 5: Child Care**
Alabama also has a shortage of affordable childcare options, making it difficult for parents to work and provide for their families. This suggests that personal beliefs may not always align with policies that actually improve people's lives.

**Topic 6: Paid Family Leave**
Alabama does not have a statewide law requiring paid family leave, which means that many families cannot afford to take time off to care for a new baby or a sick family member. This suggests that personal beliefs may not always align with policies that actually improve people's lives.

Conclusion:
Personal beliefs can play a significant role in shaping public policy. However, it is important to consider whether these beliefs align with policies that actually improve people's lives. By examining the impact of personal beliefs on public policy, we can better understand how decisions are made and work towards creating policies that benefit all citizens.

Glossary:
- Personal Beliefs: Ideas that individuals hold to be true, but may not have scientific or factual evidence to support them.
- Public Policy: Laws, rules, and actions of government that affect citizens.
- Abortion Ban: A law that prohibits abortion except in cases where the mother's life is in danger.
- Child Mortality: The number of deaths of children under the age of five per 1,000 live births.
- Child Poverty: The percentage of children living in households with income below the poverty line.
- Food Insecurity: The lack of access to enough food for all household members to live active, healthy lives.
- Education: The process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and values.
- Child Care: Services that provide care for children while their parents are working or attending school.
- Paid Family Leave: Time off work with pay to care for a new baby or a sick family member.


text: Sunflowers belong in summer, and this collection of 6 sunflower fabrics was inspired by Finnish margarine ad from the late '70s: 'what did we spread on our bread prior to Flora'. The margarine package was white with big, stylized flowers surrounding the container. Somehow it came to my mind while at grocery store, now seeing greatly changed Flora package.. The Flora collection has three different colored sets: large and small patterns for white with bright colors, blue-teal cools and yellow-hot and pink flowers. On each, the large patterns have the same layout with six inches diameter flower faces, but all three small flower designs have different patterns from straight to alternating lines with 1.5 inch wide flowers. All six patterns show beatifully, or should I say, smashingly together and are available through my spoonflower store printed on fabric or wallpaper..

Lesson: Patterns and Designs in Fabric and Textiles

**Introduction:**
In this lesson, we will learn about patterns and designs in fabric and textiles. We will explore the different types of patterns, how they are created, and how they can be used in various applications. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to identify different types of patterns, understand their significance, and create your own designs.

**Section 1: Types of Patterns**

There are several types of patterns used in fabric and textile design. These include:

1. Geometric patterns: These are created using shapes such as circles, squares, and triangles. They often have a repetitive design that is symmetrical.

2. Floral patterns: These patterns feature flowers, leaves, and other natural elements. They can be realistic or stylized, and may be used to create a specific mood or atmosphere.

3. Abstract patterns: These patterns do not represent any specific object or image. Instead, they are created using lines, shapes, and colors to form a visual composition.

4. Texture patterns: These patterns are created using different textures such as stripes, checks, and plaids. They can be used to add interest and dimension to a design.

Lesson Title: Understanding Hybridization in Plants

Introduction:
Hybridization is the process of crossing two plants to produce offspring that are genetically different from their parents. This process has been used for centuries to improve crop varieties and create new plant species. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of hybridization in plants, its benefits, and the different types of hybridization.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is to understand the process of hybridization in plants and its significance in plant breeding and genetics.

Section 1: What is Hybridization?
Topic 1: Definition of Hybridization
- Hybridization is the process of crossing two plants to produce offspring that are genetically different from their parents.
- This process involves the exchange of pollen between two different plant species to create a new plant variety.
- The resulting offspring, known as hybrids, inherit traits from both parent plants.

Topic 2: Benefits of Hybridization
- Hybridization allows plant breeders to combine desirable traits from different plant varieties to create new, improved varieties.
- This process can result in plants that are more resistant to pests and diseases, have higher yields, and are better suited to specific growing conditions.
- Hybridization also enables the creation of new plant species with unique characteristics that can be used for various purposes, such as food, medicine, and ornamental purposes.

Section 2: Types of Hybridization
Topic 1: Self-Pollination
- Self-pollination occurs when pollen from a flower is transferred to another flower on the same plant.
- This type of pollination results in offspring that are genetically identical to one or both parents.
- Self-pollination is common in plants that produce large amounts of pollen, such as corn and wheat.

Topic 2: Cross-Pollination
- Cross-pollination occurs when pollen from one plant is transferred to another plant of a different species.
- This type of pollination results in offspring that are genetically different from their parents.
- Cross-pollination is common in plants that produce small amounts of pollen, such as flowers.

Topic 3: Backcross Breeding
- Backcross breeding is a type of hybridization that involves crossing a hybrid plant with one of its parent plants.
- This process is used to increase the percentage of one parent's genes in the hybrid offspring.
- Backcross breeding is commonly used in plant breeding to create plants with specific traits, such as disease resistance or improved yield.

Section 3: Examples of Hybridization
Topic 1: Corn
- Corn is a hybrid plant that results from the cross-pollination of two different plant species.
- The resulting offspring, known as corn, is genetically different from its parents and has unique characteristics, such as large ears and high yields.
- Hybrid corn is used for food, animal feed, and industrial purposes.

Topic 2: Roses
- Roses are a popular example of hybridization in plants.
- Roses are created by crossing different rose varieties to produce new plant varieties with unique characteristics, such as color, fragrance, and size.
- Hybrid roses are used for ornamental purposes in gardens and landscapes.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, hybridization is an important process in plant breeding and genetics. It allows plant breeders to create new plant varieties with desirable traits, such as higher yields, improved resistance to pests and diseases, and unique characteristics. By understanding the different types of hybridization, we can appreciate the significance of this process in improving plant varieties for various purposes.

Glossary:
- Hybridization: The process of crossing two plants to produce offspring that are genetically different from their parents.
- Pollen: The male reproductive cell in plants.
- Fertilization: The process by which pollen fertilizes an ovum in the female reproductive system.
- Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs): Organisms that have had their DNA altered in some way to produce desired traits.

Self-Debate Discussion:
- Should GMOs be used in plant breeding?
- What are the potential benefits and risks of using GMOs in plant breeding?

Q:

Random Forest: IncNodePurity and Feature Selection for Binary Logistic Regression

After creating a Random Forest object using randomForest with around 500 candidate variables, I used importance(object) to display IncNodePurity for each of the candidate variables in relation to the binary outcome of interest (Payment/No Payment).
I am aware that IncNodePurity is the total decrease in node impurities, measured by the Gini Index from splitting on the variable, averaged over all trees. What I don't know is what should be the cutoff for candidate variables to be retained after making use of randomForest for feature selection in regards to binary logistic regression models. For example, the smallest IncNodePurity among my 498 variables is 0.03, whereas the largest IncNodePurity is 96.68.
In summary, I have one main question:
Is there a cutoff for IncNodePurity? If yes, what is it?
If no, how do you determine the cutoff? Do you simply take 10 candidate variables with the largest IncNodePurity if you want a model with only 10 predictor variables?
Any thoughts or references are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A:

I don't believe such a cutoff exists, although the variable importance plots can be informative. Carry out two experiments. Rerun the random forest and see how the list changes. Delete an observation and also observe. In my experience, the answer relates to what is the goal of feature selection. For example, why not use every variable to make predictions. The random forest can easily do that. We usually use feature selection for a reason, for example, seeking a rule using just a small number of features that can easily be measured in the future. In my case, the number was set by the technology I plan to use the diagnostic on. More importantly, if you are using feature selection, this has to be repeated at each iteration of cross-validation. Searching this site for "cross-validation", "feature selection", and "stepwise regression" will give you a start.

textbook: tice can be helpful in determining which variables are most important for predicting the outcome of interest. Instead, you could consider using a variable selection method such as stepwise regression or LASSO regression to select the most important variables based on their contribution to the model's predictive power. Additionally, you could use cross-validation techniques to ensure that your final model is not overfitting the data. Ultimately, the choice of how many variables to include in your model will depend on the specific context and goals of your analysis.

Lesson Title: Understanding Waterlogged Heritage

Overview: In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of protecting waterlogged heritage sites and the steps involved in preserving them. We will explore the hydrological context of these sites and the methods used to collect baseline evidence, monitor conditions, and model likely outcomes. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to identify key factors that contribute to the preservation of waterlogged heritage sites and apply this knowledge to new problems.

Section 1: Introduction to Waterlogged Heritage

Waterlogged heritage refers to archaeological sites that have been submerged underwater for a long period. These sites are often found in areas where water levels have risen due to natural disasters or human activities such as dam construction. They provide valuable information about past civilizations and cultures that have since disappeared.

Section 2: Importance of Protecting Waterlogged Heritage Sites

Protecting waterlogged heritage sites is essential because they contain valuable information about our past that would otherwise be lost forever if not preserved properly. Additionally, these sites can provide important clues about how people lived in the past and help us understand how climate change may impact our future.

Section 3: Preserving Waterlogged Heritage Sites

Preserving waterlogged heritage sites involves several steps, including:

1. Collecting Baseline Evidence: This involves gathering data about the site before any preservation efforts begin. This includes taking measurements of the site's current condition, photographing it, and recording its location.

2. Monitoring Conditions: Once baseline evidence has been collected, it is essential to monitor the site's conditions over time. This can involve taking regular measurements of things like water levels, temperature, and humidity.

3. Modeling Likely Outcomes: Based on the data collected and monitored, experts can create models that predict what might happen to the site in the future. These models can help guide decision-making about when preservation in situ (preserving the site in its original location) is appropriate and likely to succeed.

Section 4: Hydrological Context and Modelling

The hydrological context of a waterlogged heritage site refers to the water levels and conditions in the area surrounding the site. Understanding this context is crucial for determining the best way to preserve the site.

To model likely outcomes, experts use various methods such as:

1. Hydrodynamic Modeling: This involves creating computer models that simulate how water moves through the environment. These models can help predict how changes in water levels or other factors might impact the site.

2. Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction: This involves studying historical records and other evidence to reconstruct what the environment was like in the past. This information can help experts understand how the site may have changed over time and what factors may have contributed to its current condition.

Section 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, protecting waterlogged heritage sites is essential for preserving our past and understanding how climate change may impact our future. By following the steps involved in preserving these sites, we can ensure that valuable information is not lost forever. By applying the principles learned in this lesson, we can continue to protect and preserve these important pieces of our history.

Lesson: Economic Substantiation of Intensifying Pediatric Surgical Departments
Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about economic substantiation of intensifying pediatric surgical departments. We will cover the following sections:
I. Introduction to Economic Substantiation
II. Calculating Economic Efficiency and Averted Economic Loss
III. Intensive Work in Pediatric Surgical Departments
IV. Conclusion
I. Introduction to Economic Substantiation
Economic substantiation is the process of justifying the need for economic resources by demonstrating the potential benefits and cost savings that can be achieved through the intensification of pediatric surgical departments. This involves analyzing the current state of the department and identifying areas where improvements can be made to increase efficiency and reduce costs.
II. Calculating Economic Efficiency and Averted Economic Loss
To calculate economic efficiency and averted economic loss, we need to consider the following factors:
- Postoperative complications: By reducing postoperative complications to 0.3%, we can save a significant amount of money that would have been spent on additional medical care and hospital stays.
- General hospital stay: By reducing the general hospital stay to 3.0 days, we can increase bed turnover and save more than 203,000 roubles annually.
- Increased bed turnover: By intensifying the work of pediatric surgical departments, we can hospitalize additionally at least 900 patients annually, which will result in increased bed turnover and further cost savings.
III. Intensive Work in Pediatric Surgical Departments
Intensive work in pediatric surgical departments involves the implementation of a complex of therapeutic and preventive measures that produce a purposeful effect on the wound process. This includes the use of advanced techniques and technologies to minimize the risk of complications and reduce the length of hospital stays.
IV. Conclusion
By intensifying the work of pediatric surgical departments, we can achieve significant cost savings and increase efficiency. This can be achieved by reducing postoperative complications, reducing the general hospital stay, and increasing bed turnover. These improvements will result in averted economic loss and a positive return on investment.
Glossary:
- Economic substantiation: The process of justifying the need for economic resources by demonstrating potential benefits and cost savings.

In Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, President Barack Obama touted the many ways that the economy has improved over the past year: lower unemployment, stronger economic growth, and lower gas prices. Wages are still stagnant but these improvements, particularly the lower gas prices, are boosting the president’s approval rating toward 50.

Republicans still aren’t willing to admit that the economy has taken significant steps over the past 12 months, but their economic attacks on the president have shifted. No longer do they cite the unemployment rate as an indicator of the failure of Obamanomics. The new statistic du jour is the labor force participation rate (LFPR). Republicans aren’t wrong to be concerned about this number. But the reason it’s trending downward predates Obama—and the party’s newfound focus on this stat is indicative of the political problem that an improving economy poses for the GOP.

The labor force participation rate is the number of people who are either employed or actively looking for work as a share of the population that could be working. Under Obama, the rate has declined from 65.7 percent in January 2009 to its current rate of 62.7 percent, its lowest point since the late 1970s. (It peaked at 67.3 percent in 2000.)

There are a few reasons why the LFPR has declined. First, the country is aging as baby boomers retire. An older country means a lower percent of the population will be in the labor force. This is a structural reason for the LFPR’s recent decline—it was going to happen regardless of the underlying economic conditions. That’s why many economists forecasted that the rate would slowly fall over time.

But then the financial crisis hit, sending the participation rate shooting down. Given the bleak economic conditions, many workers dropped out of the labor force altogether. These discouraged men and women would like a job, but think their prospects are too dim to even spend time looking for work. Younger Americans stayed in school, looking to bolster their resumes instead of entering the job market. The number of people who collect Social Security Disability Insurance has also risen substantially. Initially, at least, these were cyclical reasons for the LFPR’s decline—they were caused by the recession and were expected to turn around as the economy improved. Discouraged workers, for instance, were expected to reenter the labor market once the recovery took hold and their jobs prospects improved.

Lesson: Introduction to Economic Indicators

### Overview:

Economic indicators are measurements that help us understand how well the economy is doing. They can provide valuable information about the health of the economy, and help us make informed decisions about investments, spending, and saving. In this lesson, we will learn about some of the most commonly used economic indicators, including Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Unemployment Rate, and Inflation Rate. We will also explore how these indicators are calculated and interpreted, and why they are important.

### Section 1: Introduction to Economic Indicators

An economic indicator is a measurement that helps us understand how well the economy is doing. These indicators can provide valuable information about the health of the economy, and help us make informed decisions about investments, spending, and saving. Some common economic indicators include Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Unemployment Rate, and Inflation Rate.

### Section 2: Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is one of the most widely used economic indicators. It measures the total value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders during a specific time period. GDP is calculated by adding up the value of all final goods and services produced, minus the value of any intermediate goods and services used up in the production process.

Why is GDP important?
- GDP tells us how much economic activity is taking place within a country.
- A growing GDP is usually a sign of a healthy economy.
- A shrinking GDP can indicate a recession or economic slowdown.

How is GDP calculated?
- GDP is calculated by adding up the value of all final goods and services produced, minus the value of any intermediate goods and services used up in the production process.
- There are different methods for calculating GDP, including the expenditure approach, the income approach, and the output approach.

Example: If a country's GDP is $1 trillion, it means that the total value of all goods and services produced within that country during a specific time period was $1 trillion.

### Section 3: Unemployment Rate

The Unemployment Rate is another important economic indicator. It measures the percentage of the labor force that is currently without a job, but is actively seeking employment. The Unemployment Rate is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed people by the total labor force, and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

Why is the Unemployment Rate important?
- A low Unemployment Rate is usually a sign of a strong economy.
- A high Unemployment Rate can indicate a weak economy or a recession.

Example: If a country has an Unemployment Rate of 5%, it means that 5% of the labor force is currently without a job, but is actively seeking employment.

### Section 4: Inflation Rate

The Inflation Rate is another important economic indicator. It measures the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and subsequently, the purchasing power of currency is falling. The Inflation Rate is usually expressed as an annual percentage change.

Why is the Inflation Rate important?
- High inflation can erode the value of money over time, making it less valuable.
- Low inflation is generally considered desirable because it allows people to plan for the future with more certainty.

Example: If a country has an Inflation Rate of 2%, it means that the general level of prices for goods and services is rising at a rate of 2% per year.

### Section 5: Conclusion

Economic indicators are important tools for understanding how well the economy is doing. By tracking indicators like GDP, Unemployment Rate, and Inflation Rate, we can make informed decisions about investments, spending, and saving. These indicators provide valuable information about the health of the economy, and help us plan for the future.

text: My passion for working with leather developed from my work on Disney/ABC’s #1 rated television show “Once Upon a Time” as the onset Prop Master. Through my experience on Once and countless hours in the shop, I’ve developed a personal style and design that I love to wear. Hopefully you will too. Every piece is unique and hand crafted. There may be slight imperfections that come along with the hand made process. I stand behind my work. I design and create my pieces to last. I was tired of buying expensive name brand belts and having them fall apart in less than a year. I decided to make my own using genuine leather, high quality dyes and finishes and Italian hardware. I antique the buckles and some of the hardware to give another custom unique look to the finished piece. Its hard for me to part with my pieces so i have a huge belt collection now. Feel free to add to your collection with your first krsd.
