Det Chief Insp Jordan added: "The key to immobilising any mobile phone is to make a note of the unique IMEI number. This can be obtained by dialling *#06#.

"The number is built into the phone and cannot be altered.

"If the phone is lost or stolen, the IMEI number can be given to the network company which will immobilise it so it can no longer be used."

Det Chief Insp Jordan said phone companies should be congratulated for their efforts to combat theft.

"It goes without saying that if the mobile has no value it is no longer attractive to criminals," he said.

West Yorkshire police launched a force-wide campaign in May, texting more than 4,000 mobile phone users across the county with a message reminding them if their mobile is stolen they should contact their network and have it barred, ensuring it never works again.

"Young people are particularly vulnerable to this type of crime," said Det Chief Insp Jordan.

"It is important to keep mobile phones out of sight when they are not being used.

"Don't send text messages or make calls in crowded areas like shopping centres and high streets where they can be snatched out of your hand."

He said the message was also being given directly to criminals in police custody.

"Posters will be displayed in our cell areas and a leaflet will be given to everyone who is arrested to make them realise that stealing mobile phones is no longer profitable and a waste of time," he said.

Since April this year, almost one in five street robberies involved the theft of a mobile phone and 133 phones have been taken during house burglaries.

Pta Lets Concerned Voices Be Heard

August 31, 1989

"Into the 90s with PTA." The Hampton Council of PTAs is composed of parents, teachers, administrators and friends of public education representing 34 units. The council provides units a forum for coordination and communication. Each unit provides parents and teachers a forum to share their experience and knowledge about children. Members support public education and work with principals, the superintendent and the school board on behalf of children.

Representatives of the National PTA testify at congressional and White House hearings and before the appropriations committee of the Senate on behalf of America's children. The National PTA is asked for comments on the rules and regulations that implement national legislation. The National PTA provides people to serve on committees, to work with governmental agencies and educational institutions to review curriculum, advise on textbooks, or discuss educational policy. Your voice is heard if you belong to PTA. Members of local PTA units, through the National PTA, can mobilize their great potential to influence Congress on important legislation. The National PTA is a lobbying group in the best sense of the word, represented by volunteers whose strength is in numbers and integrity.

Americans are a very mobile population, and many families move during the school years of their children. They hope the new school will be as good as the one they left behind. The PTA gives reason to believe this will be true because we know that PTAs everywhere are scrutinizing their schools and working to provide the best education for all children.

Hampton Council of PTAs' projects include:

Preschool vision screening - trained PTA volunteers, directed by the Virginia Society for the Prevention of Blindness, screen all kindergarten and first grade students in city schools for amblyopia.

Reading is Fundamental - part of the National RIF Program. Each child receives three books during the year. RIF distributions are based on freedom of choice and pride in ownership.

C.W. Miller Scholarship - awarded to a graduating student planning a career in education or other youth-oriented professions.

Substance abuse prevention and intervention - Hampton Council of PTAs received a grant from the Virginia State Plice Association to provide painters' caps for the students particpating in a "Just Say No" march. PTA cooperates and coordinates activities with the Hampton Intervention and Prevention Project.

Additional projects include: leadership training workshops, the National PTA Cultural Arts Contest, the state PTA essay contest, a retired teachers luncheon and a citizen-of-the-month luncheon. Add to these projects the activities and programs sponsored by each PTA unit.

PTAs are alive and well in Hampton. As we move into the 90's with PTA, our membership goal is to match our student enrollment. We currently have a 44 percent PTA membership to enrollment.

Technical Field
The present invention relates to solar cells and more particularly to a tandem solar cell device and method to achieve greater collection efficiency.
Description of the Related Art
Solar cells employ photovoltaic cells to generate current flow. Photons in sunlight hit a solar cell or panel and are absorbed by semiconducting materials, such as silicon. Electrons gain energy allowing them to flow through the material to produce electricity.
When a photon hits silicon, the photon may be transmitted through the silicon, the photon can reflect off the surface, or the photon can be absorbed by the silicon, if the photon energy is higher than the silicon band gap value. This generates an electron-hole pair and sometimes heat, depending on the band structure. When a photon is absorbed, its energy is given to an electron in a crystal lattice. Electrons in the valence band may be excited into the conduction band, where they are free to move within the semiconductor. The bond that the electron(s) were a part of form a hole. These holes can move through the lattice creating mobile electron-hole pairs.
A photon need only have greater energy than that of a band gap to excite an electron from the valence band into the conduction band. Since solar radiation is composed of photons with energies greater than the band gap of silicon, the higher energy photons will be absorbed by the solar cell, with some of the energy (above the band gap) being turned into heat rather than into usable electrical energy.
A solar cell may be described in terms of a fill factor (FF). FF is a ratio of the maximum power point (Pm) divided by open circuit voltage (Voc) and short circuit current
            (              J        sc            )                  :            FF    =                    P        m                              V          oc                                  J          sc                      .  The fill factor is directly affected by the values of a cell's series and shunt resistance. Increasing the shunt resistance (Rsh) and decreasing the series resistance (Rs) will lead to a higher fill factor, thus resulting in greater efficiency, and pushing the cells output power closer towards its theoretical maximum. The increased efficiency of photovoltaic devices is of utmost importance in the current energy environment.
To increase efficiency, tandem cells have been employed where a first solar cell is integrated with a second solar cell. Such cells typically employ a microcrystalline Silicon based bottom cell, which includes microcrystalline Silicon for a p-doped layer, an intrinsic layer and an n-doped layer for the cell. These types of cells suffer from slow growth rates during manufacture. The growth rate for high quality microcrystalline cells may be about 2-3 Angstroms/sec for a 1.5 micron thickness, and can take 1-2 hours to grow the microcrystalline Silicon. This results in higher cost. In addition, since a top cell in such device also includes a form of Silicon, current sharing between the top and bottom cells is excessive, e.g., Jsc for the tandem device is often less than Jsc for an individual cell.
Thin-film materials of the type Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (CIGS), while efficient, include rare indium metal, which is expected to be of high cost and short supply in future large-scale photovoltaic device production—an issue which is further exacerbated by the growing indium consumption for thin film display production. Other materials such as Cu2S and CdTe have also been proposed as absorbers but while Cu2S suffers from low stability in devices, rare tellurium and toxic cadmium limits CdTe usage.

Activation of the TGFalpha autocrine loop is downstream of IGF-I receptor activation during mitogenesis in growth factor dependent human colon carcinoma cells.
The inappropriate expression of TGFalpha in growth arrest contributes to malignant progression in human colon carcinoma cells. Early stage, non-progressed colon tumor cells show a down-regulation of TGFalpha in growth arrest and require both nutrients and growth factors for re-entry into the cell cycle. In contrast, highly progressed cells up-regulate TGFalpha during growth arrest and require only nutrients for re-entry. Given the importance of TGFalpha in malignant progression, this work addressed the regulation of TGFalpha expression in the early stage colon carcinoma cell line, FET. Growth-arrested FET cells down-regulated the expression of TGFalpha, EGFr and, in turn, EGFr activation. These quiescent cells continued to express high levels of IGF-IR protein, but IGF-IR activation was undetectable. Cell cycle re-entry required exogenous growth factor activation of the IGF-IR by insulin or IGF-I. This IGF-IR activation resulted in S phase re-entry and was accompanied by an approximate threefold induction of TGFalpha expression along with EGFr activation at 1 h following release from growth arrest. Activation of IGF-IR occurred within 5 min of cell-cycle re-entry. Previously identified DNA binding proteins which bind to a unique TGFalpha/EGF response element within the TGFalpha promoter were similarly induced following IGF-IR activation. The addition of EGFr neutralizing antibodies abolished the activated IGF-IR stimulated S phase re-entry. Moreover, disruption of the growth arrest associated down-regulation of TGFalpha in FET cells by constitutive TGFalpha expression abrogated the requirement for IGF-IR activation for cell cycle re-entry. Consequently, this study indicates, for the first time, that IGF-IR activation up-regulates components of the TGFalpha autocrine loop resulting in TGFalpha-mediated EGFr activation which was critical for IGF-IR mediated re-entry into the cell cycle from the growth-arrested state.

Lesson: Understanding the Regulation of TGFalpha Expression in Colon Carcinoma Cells

Introduction:
TGFalpha is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. In cancer cells, the inappropriate expression of TGFalpha can contribute to malignant progression. In this lesson, we will explore the regulation of TGFalpha expression in early-stage colon carcinoma cells and understand how it affects the cell cycle and malignant progression.

Section 1: Understanding the Regulation of TGFalpha Expression

Topic 1: The Importance of TGFalpha in Cancer Cells
TGFalpha is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. In cancer cells, the inappropriate expression of TGFalpha can contribute to malignant progression.

Topic 2: The Role of IGF-IR in TGFalpha Regulation
Early-stage, non-progressed colon tumor cells show a down-regulation of TGFalpha in growth arrest and require both nutrients and growth factors for re-entry into the cell cycle. In contrast, highly progressed cells up-regulate TGFalpha during growth arrest and require only nutrients for re-entry.

Topic 3: The Regulation of TGFalpha Expression in FET Cells
Growth-arrested FET cells down-regulated the expression of TGFalpha, EGFr, and, in turn, EGFr activation. These quiescent cells continued to express high levels of IGF-IR protein, but IGF-IR activation was undetectable.

Section 2: The Cell Cycle and Malignant Progression

Topic 1: The Cell Cycle and Malignant Progression
The cell cycle is a series of events that take place in a cell, leading to its division and duplication. When cells are unable to control their cell cycle, they can become cancerous, leading to malignant progression.

Topic 2: The Role of TGFalpha in Malignant Progression
The inappropriate expression of TGFalpha in growth arrest contributes to malignant progression in human colon carcinoma cells.

Section 3: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

Topic 1: The Effect of TGFalpha on Cell Growth
The activation of the TGFalpha autocrine loop is downstream of IGF-I receptor activation during mitogenesis in growth factor-dependent human colon carcinoma cells.

Topic 2: The Impact of TGFalpha on Cell Differentiation
The inappropriate expression of TGFalpha in growth arrest contributes to malignant progression in human colon carcinoma cells.

Topic 3: The Role of TGFalpha in Apoptosis
Early-stage, non-progressed colon tumor cells show a down-regulation of TGFalpha in growth arrest and require both nutrients and growth factors for re-entry into the cell cycle. In contrast, highly progressed cells up-regulate TGFalpha during growth arrest and require only nutrients for re-entry.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have explored the regulation of TGFalpha expression in early-stage colon carcinoma cells and its impact on the cell cycle and malignant progression. We have also examined the practical examples and real-world scenarios that demonstrate the importance of TGFalpha in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. By understanding the role of TGFalpha in cancer cells, we can develop strategies to target and control its expression, potentially leading to more effective treatments for colon cancer.

text: Hi, silly question, but.... I urgently need a BSL (boot sole length) number for my 2008 model Tecnica Diablo Race Pro 130 boots in size 29.5.. I just bought these boots, and unfortunately they are stored somewhere where I won't be able to get at them for a couple of weeks. But I need their BSL for a binding fitting.. Here's a pic of the exact model:. Can anyone help me with a BSL for this boot in a 29.5 size? Thanks.

textbook:
Sure, I can help you with that! Unfortunately, the BSL (boot sole length) number for the Tecnica Diablo Race Pro 130 boots in size 29.5 is not readily available online. However, I suggest that you contact the manufacturer or the retailer where you purchased the boots, and they should be able to provide you with the BSL number. Alternatively, you could try searching for the BSL number on the manufacturer's website or in the product manual.
If you still have trouble finding the BSL number, I recommend measuring the length of the boot sole yourself using a ruler or a tape measure. The BSL is typically the length of the boot sole from the heel to the toe, measured in millimeters. Once you have the BSL number or have measured the boot sole, you can use that information to determine the appropriate binding height for your ski boots.

Low viscosity of densely and highly polymerized human hemoglobin in aqueous solution--the problem of stability.
The viscosity of highly and densely polymerized human hemoglobin is low enough in reasonable concentrations to serve as an effective oxygen carrying blood substitute. But polymerisation with glutardialdehyde leads to instable polymers. In contrast polymerisation with diisocyanate gives stable polymers which can be fractionated. Fractionation reduces viscosity. The viscosity of the fractionated polymers is at 5 g/dl as low as the viscosity of plasma.

Lesson: Introduction to Homeopathy

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses very dilute solutions of natural substances to treat illnesses. It was developed in the late 1700s by a German physician named Samuel Hahnemann. The basic principle of homeopathy is "like cures like," meaning that a substance that causes certain symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat someone with similar symptoms.

### Section 2: Practical Examples
One example of homeopathy in action is the use of arnica montana for muscle pain and soreness after exercise. Arnica montana is a plant that contains a substance called helenalin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. When taken as a homeopathic remedy, it can help reduce swelling and pain in muscles.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Another example of homeopathy is the use of chamomile for teething babies. Chamomile is a flower that contains a compound called apigenin, which has anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties. When given as a homeopathic remedy, it can help soothe the discomfort of teething and promote better sleep.

### Glossary
- Homeopathy: A system of medicine that uses very dilute solutions of natural substances to treat illnesses.

Case-control study of Meige's syndrome. Result of a pilot study.
A pilot case-control study was conducted to identify possible risk factors for Meige's syndrome. Patients with Meige's syndrome and age- and sex-matched controls suffering from other neurological diseases were recruited from the Movement Disorders Clinic and Neurology Outpatient Department of the All India Insititute of Medical Sciences. All participants were interviewed and information regarding psychiatric and medical illnesses, use of medications, exposure to fumes, dust and pets, characteristics such as marital status, socio-economic status, alcohol, tea/coffee use, tobacco use, betel nut chewing and family history of neurodegenerative diseases among first-degree relatives was ascertained. We found that betel nut with tobacco chewing was a significant predictor for Meige's syndrome (adjusted odds ratio 7.4, 95% confidence interval = 1.0-59. 82). The role of local irritation or the effect of some chemicals in tobacco and betel nuts needs further evaluation of the pathogenesis of Meige's syndrome.

Lesson: Introduction to Case-Control Studies

### Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about case-control studies, a type of observational study used to investigate the association between a risk factor and an outcome. We will focus on a pilot study conducted to identify possible risk factors for Meige's syndrome.

### Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Define case-control studies and explain their purpose
- Identify the steps involved in conducting a case-control study
- Understand the importance of controlling confounding variables in case-control studies
- Analyze the results of a case-control study on Meige's syndrome

### Background
Meige's syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements of the eyes and face. In this pilot study, researchers aimed to identify possible risk factors for Meige's syndrome by comparing patients with the condition to those with other neurological diseases.

### Section 1: What are case-control studies?
Case-control studies are a type of observational study used to investigate the association between a risk factor and an outcome. They involve comparing two groups of people - those with the outcome of interest (cases) and those without the outcome (controls) - to determine if there is a difference in the frequency of a risk factor between the two groups.

### Section 2: How are case-control studies conducted?
Step 1: Select the cases and controls
- Cases are individuals with the outcome of interest (in this case, Meige's syndrome)
- Controls are individuals without the outcome but share similar characteristics with the cases (e.g., age, sex, and other neurological diseases)

Step 2: Collect data on potential risk factors
- Interview participants to gather information on psychiatric and medical illnesses, use of medications, exposure to fumes, dust and pets, and other characteristics such as marital status, socio-economic status, alcohol, tea/coffee use, tobacco use, betel nut chewing, and family history of neurodegenerative diseases among first-degree relatives

Step 3: Analyze the data
- Calculate the frequency of the risk factor in cases and controls
- Use statistical methods to determine if there is an association between the risk factor and the outcome

### Section 3: Controlling confounding variables
Controlling confounding variables is essential in case-control studies to ensure that the observed association between the risk factor and the outcome is not due to other factors. In this study, the researchers controlled for several confounding variables, including age, sex, and other neurological diseases. By doing so, they were able to isolate the effect of betel nut with tobacco chewing on the risk of developing Meige's syndrome.

### Section 4: Results of the study on Meige's syndrome
The study found that betel nut with tobacco chewing was a significant predictor for Meige's syndrome (adjusted odds ratio 7.4, 95% confidence interval = 1.0-59. 82). This suggests that there may be a relationship between betel nut with tobacco chewing and the development of Meige's syndrome.

### Glossary
- Case-control study: A type of observational study that compares cases (individuals with the outcome of interest) to controls (individuals without the outcome) to determine if there is an association between a risk factor and an outcome
- Confounding variable: A variable that affects the observed association between a risk factor and an outcome if it is not controlled for in the analysis

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about case-control studies and how they are conducted. We also explored the importance of controlling confounding variables in these types of studies. Finally, we analyzed the results of a case-control study on Meige's syndrome, which suggested that betel nut with tobacco chewing may be a risk factor for the condition. By understanding the principles of case-control studies and their applications, we can apply these skills to other areas of research and problem-solving.

Lesson: Introduction to Energy Storage Technology

**Objective:** To understand the basics of energy storage technology and its applications.

**Section 1: Theoretical Concepts**

- Energy storage refers to the process of capturing and storing energy produced by renewable sources like solar and wind power.
- This stored energy can be used later when there is no sunlight or wind, or during peak hours when there is an increased demand for electricity.
- Energy storage technology is essential for integrating renewable energy sources into the power grid.

**Section 2: Practical Examples**

- A common example of energy storage technology is a rechargeable battery, which stores electricity until it is needed.
- Another example is a flywheel, which stores kinetic energy and can release it back into the system when needed.
- Large-scale energy storage systems are also being developed, such as pumped hydroelectric storage, which uses water to store excess energy.

**Section 3: Real-World Scenarios**

- Energy storage technology is being used in electric vehicles to store energy from the grid and provide power to the vehicle's motor.
- It is also being used in homes and businesses to store excess solar power generated during the day for use at night.
- In the power grid, energy storage systems can help balance supply and demand by storing excess energy during periods of low demand and releasing it during periods of high demand.

**Glossary:**

- Energy storage: The process of capturing and storing energy produced by renewable sources.
- Renewable energy: Energy derived from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, and geothermal heat, that are replenished at a faster rate than they are consumed.
- Power grid: A network of electrical generators, transmission lines, and transformers that carries electricity from suppliers to consumers.

**Conclusion:**

Energy storage technology is becoming increasingly important as we transition to a world powered by renewable energy sources. By understanding the basics of how this technology works, we can begin to apply it in our daily lives and help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.


text: With the deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq at the end of next year creeping nearer, the U.S. has to find some way to convince the Iraqi government to allow a continued military presence, which is the likely outcome despite the U.S.-Iraq status of forces agreement containing the deadline.. One means by which this will be accomplished, relabeling “combat forces” something else, perhaps remaining as “military advisers” or something to that effect, has already been discussed. Thomas E. Ricks outlines another rationale for maintaining a military occupation of Iraq in the New York Times, offering up a variation on a theme that has been familiar throughout the war that is likely to become a mainstay in the political discourse..

Lesson: How to Analyze and Debate Current Events

Introduction:
In today's world, being able to analyze and debate current events is an essential skill. It allows us to understand the complexities of the world around us and make informed decisions about our future. In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze and debate current events related to the United States' military presence in Iraq.

Section 1: Understanding the Topic

The topic for this lesson is the United States' military presence in Iraq and the efforts to convince the Iraqi government to allow a continued military presence beyond the deadline set by the U.S.-Iraq status of forces agreement.

Question 1: What is the current situation regarding the U.S. military presence in Iraq?
Answer 1: The U.S. has a deadline to withdraw all troops from Iraq by the end of next year. However, the U.S. wants to continue to have a military presence in Iraq.

Question 2: What is the likely outcome of the U.S.'s efforts to keep troops in Iraq?
Answer 2: It is likely that the U.S. will find a way to keep troops in Iraq, possibly by relabeling them as something else, such as "military advisers."

Question 3: Why does the U.S. want to keep troops in Iraq?
Answer 3: There are several reasons why the U.S. wants to keep troops in Iraq, including maintaining influence in the region and protecting American interests.

Section 2: Analyzing the Issue

There are several factors to consider when analyzing the issue of the U.S.'s military presence in Iraq. These include the legal implications of staying beyond the agreed deadline, the impact on Iraqi sovereignty, and the potential consequences of continued occupation.

Question 4: Is it legal for the U.S. to stay in Iraq beyond the agreed deadline?
Answer 4: The legality of staying in Iraq beyond the agreed deadline is a matter of debate. Some argue that it is legal because the U.S. and Iraq signed a status of forces agreement that allows for a continued presence. Others argue that it is not legal because the deadline was set and should be respected.

Question 5: How does the continued occupation of Iraq affect Iraqi sovereignty?
Answer 5: The continued occupation of Iraq by foreign troops undermines Iraqi sovereignty and can be seen as a violation of international law. It also creates resentment among the Iraqi people, which can lead to further unrest and violence.

Question 6: What are the potential consequences of continued occupation?
Answer 6: The potential consequences of continued occupation include increased resentment and violence among the Iraqi people, further destabilization of the region, and a continued drain on U.S. resources.

Section 3: Debating the Issue

Debating current events requires us to think critically and engage in thoughtful discussion with others. In this section, we will consider different perspectives on the issue of the U.S.'s military presence in Iraq.

Perspective 1: Those who support continued occupation argue that the U.S. has a responsibility to protect its interests in the region and that continued occupation is necessary to prevent Iraq from becoming a safe haven for terrorists. They also argue that the U.S. has invested too much time and resources in Iraq to simply withdraw.

Perspective 2: Those who oppose continued occupation argue that the U.S. has no legal right to stay in Iraq beyond the agreed deadline and that continued occupation undermines Iraqi sovereignty and creates resentment among the Iraqi people. They also argue that the costs of continued occupation far outweigh any potential benefits.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the issue of the U.S.'s military presence in Iraq is complex and multifaceted. By understanding the legal implications, impact on Iraqi sovereignty, and potential consequences of continued occupation, we can engage in thoughtful debate and analysis. Whether you support or oppose continued occupation, it is essential to consider the facts and engage in critical thinking when discussing current events.
