This section contains internal utilities used by the library's implementation
along with tools used in development and testing.  These tools have
limitied documentation, but now have quite stable interfaces
and may also be useful outside Boost.Math.

There is no doubt that these components can be improved, but they are also
largely incidental to the main purpose of this library.

These tools are designed to "just get the job done", and receive minimal
documentation here, in the hopes that they will help stimulate further
submissions to this library.

[Sporopollenin accumulation in Nicotiana tabacum L. microspore wall during its development].
Accumulation of sporopollenin components in microspore wall, its polymerization dynamics and possible participation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in this process has been studied. For this purpose fluorescent and electron microscopy (TEM) was used. It has been determined that phenylpropanoid components of sporopollenin that form the exine accumulate in the microspore cell wall at the middle and late tetrad stages. At the late tetrad stage, they fully cover the microspore surface and accumulate abundantly in aperture areas. In accordance with this, numerous thick sporopollenin lamellae, electron-dense and acetolysis-resistant, emerge in aperture areas. Exine in the areas between apertures includes both acetolysis-resistant sporopollenin and washout components. These particular parts of the wall are intensively stained with fluorescent dye MitoSOX, which detects the presence of ROS. The staining disappeared after the treatment of microspore with superoxide dismutase, demonstrating the presence of superoxide in the exine. Superoxide easily converts to hydrogen peroxide, which can cause oxidative polymerization of sporopollenin components, leading to the formation of chemically stable biopolymer. The data obtained favor the hypothesis of ROS involvement in the formation of sporopollenin.

Lesson:
Introduction to Pollen Development in Plants

Pollen is a crucial part of the reproductive system of flowering plants. It contains the male gametes that fertilize the female eggs, enabling the plant to produce seeds and continue its life cycle. The development of pollen is a complex process that involves several stages, including the formation of microspores, the growth of the pollen tube, and the release of male gametes.

In this lesson, we will explore the accumulation of sporopollenin in the microspore wall during the development of pollen in Nicotiana tabacum L. We will use fluorescent and electron microscopy to study the accumulation of phenylpropanoid components of sporopollenin in the microspore cell wall and the formation of thick sporopollenin lamellae in aperture areas. We will also investigate the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the polymerization dynamics of sporopollenin.

Section 1: Introduction to Pollen Development

Pollen is the male reproductive cell in flowering plants. It is produced in the microsporangium, a sac-like structure that develops from the sporogenous tissue. The microsporangium undergoes several divisions to produce a large number of microspores. These microspores eventually develop into pollen grains.

Section 2: Accumulation of Sporopollenin Components in Microspore Wall

The exine, or outer layer of the pollen grain, is made up of sporopollenin, a complex and highly resistant organic polymer. The accumulation of sporopollenin components in the microspore wall has been studied using fluorescent and electron microscopy. It has been determined that phenylpropanoid components of sporopollenin accumulate in the microspore cell wall at the middle and late tetrad stages. At the late tetrad stage, they fully cover the microspore surface and accumulate abundantly in aperture areas.

Section 3: Role of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in Pollen Development

The presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the exine has been investigated using fluorescent dyes. It has been shown that ROS are present in the areas between apertures, where they can cause oxidation of the exine. This oxidation may play a role in the polymerization dynamics of sporopollenin.

Section 4: Formation of Thick Sporopollenin Lamellae in Aperture Areas

Electron microscopy has revealed the presence of numerous thick sporopollenin lamellae in aperture areas. These lamellae are electron-dense and acetolysis-resistant, indicating their importance in the structural integrity of the exine.

Section 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, our study has provided insights into the accumulation of sporopollenin components in the microspore wall during pollen development. The presence of ROS in the exine suggests that they may play a role in the polymerization dynamics of sporopollenin. The formation of thick sporopollenin lamellae in aperture areas indicates the importance of these structures in the structural integrity of the exine.

Glossary:
- Microspore: a haploid male gametocyte that develops into a pollen grain
- Exine: the outer layer of the pollen grain
- Sporopollenin: a complex and highly resistant organic polymer that forms the exine
- Phenylpropanoid: a class of organic compounds derived from phenylalanine
- Reactive oxygen species (ROS): molecules containing oxygen that can cause oxidation
- Polymerization: the process by which monomers combine to form a large molecule
- Aperture: an opening in the exine that allows the passage of male gametes

Self-Debate Discussion:

Is it possible that the presence of ROS in the exine could have negative effects on pollen development? Could the oxidation of sporopollenin components lead to the weakening of the exine and make the pollen grain more susceptible to damage? How might this affect the ability of the plant to reproduce successfully?

Lesson: Introduction to Geometry

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of the shape, size, position, and properties of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. It is an essential subject that helps us understand the world around us better. In this lesson, we will explore the basic concepts of geometry, including points, lines, angles, triangles, and polygons.

**Section 1: Theoretical Concepts**

**Topic 1: Points**
A point is a basic geometric concept that represents a specific location in space. It has no dimensions and is usually represented by a dot or a letter. For example, the point A (A) represents the location of a particular object.

**Topic 2: Lines**
A line is a straight path that extends infinitely in both directions. It is a one-dimensional object with no width or height. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, and they can be thick or thin. They can also be broken down into segments and endpoints.

**Topic 3: Angles**
An angle is the figure formed by two lines that intersect each other. The angle can be measured in degrees or radians, and it can be acute, right, or obtuse, depending on the size of the angle. The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180 degrees.

**Topic 4: Triangles**
A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees. Depending on the length of its sides and angles, a triangle can be classified as an equilateral, isosceles, or scalene triangle.

**Topic 5: Polygons**
A polygon is a closed figure with straight sides. It can be classified as a triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, or decagon, depending on the number of sides and angles.

**Section 2: Practical Examples**
We can use geometry to solve real-world problems, such as finding the area and perimeter of different shapes. For example, if we want to find the area of a triangle, we need to know the base and height of the triangle. The formula for finding the area of a triangle is: Area = (base x height) / 2.

Is there a role for a specialized follow-up clinic for survivors of pediatric cancer?
Due to advances in chemotherapy and supportive care, greater than 70% of patients with childhood cancer will survive 5 years. However, there are long-term physiological and psychological sequelae of these treatments that may not manifest until pediatric survivors are into adulthood. Various studies done in the long-term pediatric survivors have noted that they are at increased risk for poor health and for chronic health problems. One complicating factor in treating these patients for their health problems is that many childhood cancer survivors are unaware of their past medical history and what their past cancer treatment entailed. There are also a number of barriers to medical care in survivors of childhood cancer which include inadequate insurance coverage for many and lack of knowledge of long-term effects physicians. As pediatric cancer survivors age they usually transition to community physicians. This paper proposes different models for follow-up clinics for survivors of pediatric cancers so childhood cancer survivors are not be subjected to cost ineffective or excessive evaluations but rather medical screening tests that are risk and guidelines that are set forth by experts.

TORONTO — The Canadian Football League has reached an agreement with the French American Football Federation to work together to grow the game by providing new opportunities for players, it was announced Tuesday.

“This is the perfect extension of everything we are working to accomplish with our CFL 2.0 strategy,” Randy Ambrosie, Commissioner of the CFL, said following meetings between the two organizations.

“On every point, we found common ground, a shared drive to grow the game of football.”

The two organizations agreed to:

Include a select group of French players in the CFL’s national scouting combine in Toronto this March, an event which already promises to feature players from the German Football League as well as the top Canadian prospects from U SPORTS and the NCAA.

Create new opportunities for Canadian players to play in France, including junior players and players who have completed their U SPORTS eligibility.

Share resources by working to facilitate coaching exchanges and the development of officials.

Seek a broadcast/streaming deal that would see CFL games and first division French games available to fans in France.

“We have had a strong link with Canada for the past 15 years,” said Tristan Genet, Chief Financial Officer of the French American Football Federation.

“Making this bridge stronger and bigger is important to growing the game in both places,” added Pierre Trochet, the Federation’s Head of Business Operations and International Relationships.

There are more than 100 young players from France already playing football in Quebec in CEGEP, the province’s pre-university and technical college system. Several more are playing for Quebec universities in U SPORTS.

“We are agreeing here to take this existing infrastructure and really build on it,” Ambrosie said.

The French American Football Federation includes 23,000 members, 15,000 football players and a first-division league of 12 teams.

It is responsible for 300 affiliated tackle football, flag football and cheerleading associations. France’s national team are the reigning European champions.

The French federation is just the latest group to sign onto Ambrosie’s vision to strengthen the CFL and football around the world by strengthening ties between countries where gridiron football is played.

The CFL recently reached a similar agreement with the German Football League and its governing federation. It also recently held a Combine and Draft in Mexico as part of an agreement with the Liga de Futbol Americano Profesional (LFA), the pro league in Mexico.

Ambrosie also plans to hold meetings here in Europe with football leaders from Austria, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

He has said the international component of CFL 2.0 is designed to expand the CFL’s talent pool, give Canadian players more opportunities around the world and pave the way for international broadcast and streaming deals for the Canadian professional league.

The conformation of the chromatin core particle is ionic strength-dependent.
We have examined the susceptibilities of the histones within the HeLa chromatin core particle to covalent modification by a diol-epoxide derivative of the carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo(a)-pyrene. Core-particle histones exhibit substantial variation in their relative susceptibilities to modification, depending upon the ionic strength of the environment. In contrast, the relative susceptibilities of either purified histones or histones in urea-denatured core particles are insensitive to changes in ionic strength. The variations in the pattern of modification of core particle histones occur primarily at ionic strengths at which the histones remain associated with core-particle DNA (0 to 0.6 M NaCl). Non-histone proteins influence the ionic strength-dependent variations in histone modification. The results imply that the ionic strength of the environment affects the conformation of the core particle and that the nucleoprotein has a flexible structure.

Lesson: Understanding the Conformation of Chromatin Core Particles

Introduction:
Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It plays a crucial role in packaging DNA and regulating gene expression. The core particle of chromatin contains histone proteins, which help in organizing the DNA into a compact structure. In this lesson, we will explore the conformation of chromatin core particles and how it is affected by the ionic strength of the environment.

Section 1: The Structure of Chromatin Core Particles
- Chromatin core particles consist of DNA wrapped around histone proteins.
- The structure of chromatin can change depending on the cellular environment.
- Histone proteins can undergo covalent modification, which can affect gene expression.

Section 2: The Effect of Ionic Strength on Chromatin Conformation
- The conformation of chromatin core particles is dependent on the ionic strength of the environment.
- At low ionic strength, histones are more likely to be modified, leading to a more open structure of chromatin.
- At high ionic strength, histones are less likely to be modified, leading to a more compact structure of chromatin.

Section 3: Applications
- Understanding the conformation of chromatin core particles can help researchers understand how gene expression is regulated.
- This knowledge can be applied to develop new treatments for diseases caused by abnormal gene expression, such as cancer.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we explored the conformation of chromatin core particles and how it is affected by the ionic strength of the environment. We learned that the structure of chromatin can change depending on the cellular environment and that histone proteins can undergo covalent modification, which can affect gene expression. We also discovered that the ionic strength of the environment plays a crucial role in determining the conformation of chromatin core particles. By understanding these concepts, researchers can gain valuable insights into how gene expression is regulated and potentially develop new treatments for diseases caused by abnormal gene expression.

Lesson: Understanding Effort Values in Pokemon

Introduction:
In the world of Pokemon, Effort Values (EVs) play an important role in determining the strength and effectiveness of a Pokemon in battle. In this lesson, we will learn about what EVs are, how they work, and how they can be used to improve our Pokemon's abilities.

What are Effort Values?

Effort Values, or EVs for short, are a measure of a Pokemon's ability in battle. They are divided into two categories: Attack EVs and Defense EVs. Each time a Pokemon participates in a battle, it gains EVs based on its performance in that battle. The more powerful the attack or defense, the more EVs the Pokemon will gain.

How do EVs work?

When a Pokemon gains EVs, they are stored in its Effort Point (EP) meter. Each Pokemon has a maximum EP limit, which is determined by its nature. When the EP meter is full, the Pokemon's EVs are used to increase its Attack and Defense stats. The higher the EVs, the stronger the Pokemon becomes.

How can EVs be used to improve my Pokemon's abilities?

To improve your Pokemon's abilities using EVs, you need to train it in specific areas. For example, if you want to increase your Pokemon's Attack stat, you should train it against powerful opponents who use physical attacks. Similarly, if you want to increase your Pokemon's Defense stat, you should train it against opponents who use special attacks.

Conclusion:

Understanding Effort Values is essential for any serious Pokemon trainer. By training your Pokemon in specific areas, you can improve their abilities and make them stronger in battle. Remember to always pay attention to your Pokemon's EP meter and ensure that they are gaining EVs in the areas you want them to. With this knowledge, you can turn your Pokemon into powerful creatures that will dominate the battlefield.

Lesson: Understanding the Policy Improve on Marijuana Laws

Introduction

In this lesson, we will explore the recent policy change on marijuana laws announced by the U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. We will examine the impact of this change on states that have legalized marijuana and discuss the implications for the future of marijuana legislation in the United States.

Section 1: Understanding the Policy Improve

The U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently announced a policy change on marijuana laws. This change directs federal prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against individuals and businesses involved in the sale, distribution, and use of marijuana, even in states where it is legal.

Question: Why did the Attorney General make this change in policy?
Answer: The reason behind this change is not entirely clear, but some believe it is due to the administration's tough stance on drugs and the desire to enforce stricter drug laws.

Section 2: Impact on States that Have Legalized Marijuana

The policy change has a significant impact on states that have legalized marijuana for medical or recreational use. Since the announcement, there has been uncertainty and confusion among business owners, patients, and advocates about the future of their operations.

Question: How does this policy change affect Colorado, which has fully legalized marijuana?
Answer: In Colorado, the policy change could lead to increased enforcement actions against businesses operating in compliance with state law. This could potentially disrupt the established regulatory framework and create chaos in the market.

Section 3: Future of Marijuana Legislation

The immune response to citrullinated antigens in autoimmune diseases.
Post-translational modifications of proteins occur very frequently. One of these modifications, citrullination, is the result of arginine deimination operated by an enzyme, peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD), whose activity is under strict genetic control. Serum antibodies reactive with citrullinated proteins/peptides are a very sensitive and specific marker for rheumatoid arthritis. Genes encoding for PAD enzymes have been investigated in RA: the PADI4 gene confers susceptibility to RA in Japanese patients, but not in Caucasians.

Lesson: Post-translational modifications and their role in autoimmune diseases

### Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about post-translational modifications and how they play a role in autoimmune diseases. We will cover the definition of post-translational modifications, the process of citrullination, and the role of citrullinated proteins in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

### Section 1: Introduction to Post-Translational Modifications

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) refer to changes that occur in proteins after they have been synthesized. These modifications can alter the structure, function, or stability of the protein. PTMs are essential for various cellular processes, including signal transduction, protein folding, and degradation.

### Section 2: Citrullination and its role in autoimmune diseases

Citrullination is a type of PTM where the amino acid arginine is converted to citrulline by the enzyme peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD). This modification can change the properties of the protein, such as its conformation or stability. Citrullination has been implicated in several autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

In RA, antibodies against citrullinated proteins/peptides are a sensitive and specific marker for the disease. The presence of these antibodies indicates that the immune system is reacting to citrullinated proteins, which may be a result of PAD enzyme activity.

### Section 3: Genetic factors and PAD enzymes in autoimmune diseases

The activity of PAD enzymes is regulated by genetic factors. For example, the PADI4 gene has been shown to confer susceptibility to RA in Japanese patients, but not in Caucasians. This suggests that genetic differences in PADI4 may contribute to the development of RA in different populations.

### Conclusion

Understanding post-translational modifications and their role in autoimmune diseases is crucial for developing targeted therapies and improving our understanding of disease mechanisms. By studying citrullination and other PTMs, we can gain insights into the complex interplay between genetics, immune responses, and protein function in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

### Glossary
- Post-translational modifications (PTMs): Chemical changes that occur in proteins after they have been synthesized
- Citrullination: A type of PTM where arginine is converted to citrulline by the enzyme PAD
- Peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD): An enzyme responsible for citrullination
- Autoimmune diseases: Conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells and tissues
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA): A chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the joints

- You need to evaluate the guitar's physical condition, including any damage, wear, and tear.

Topic 3: Assessing the Rarity
- Rarity is another factor that contributes to a guitar's value.
- You need to assess whether the guitar is rare or unique, and if so, how much this adds to its value.

Practical Examples:

Example 1: You come across a guitar that appears to be a 1960s Fender Stratocaster. To identify whether it is indeed a vintage guitar, you would examine its physical characteristics, such as the body shape, neck shape, and pickup configuration, and compare them to the features of a 1960s Stratocaster. You would also look up information about the guitar's production and any notable events in its history.

Example 2: You have found a vintage guitar that you believe is worth appraising. To do so, you would research similar guitars that have been sold recently to get an idea of its market value. You would then evaluate the guitar's physical condition, assessing any damage, wear, and tear. Finally, you would assess the guitar's rarity, evaluating whether it is unique or rare and how much this adds to its value.
