Simultaneous detection and identification of four pome fruit viruses by one-tube pentaplex RT-PCR.
A pentaplex reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (Pentaplex RT-PCR) in a single tube was developed for the simultaneous detection of the pome fruit viruses: Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) and Apple mosaic virus (ApMV). This is the first report of the simultaneous detection of all four viruses and host mRNA as an internal specific control. Pentaplex RT-PCR was applied successfully throughout the year, using different plant organs (leaves or dormant buds). The sensitivity of detection by monoplex- and pentaplex RT-PCR assays was comparable. Different combinations of mixed infections of viruses were identified in samples of infected apple and pear trees from different geographical regions. The pentaplex RT-PCR assay developed was sensitive, simple, rapid, and reliable for simultaneous detection of the four viruses in extracts of leaves or dormant buds.

Lesson: Understanding the Importance of Sleep for Brain Health

Introduction:
Sleep is a vital component of our daily lives. It is essential for physical and mental well-being. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of sleep for brain health. We will discuss the impact of sleep on memory, learning, and cognitive function. We will also examine the consequences of sleep deprivation and strategies to improve sleep quality.

Section 1: The Impact of Sleep on Memory and Learning

**Theoretical Concept:** Sleep plays a crucial role in memory consolidation and learning. During sleep, the brain processes and stores information from the day.

**Practical Example:** Imagine you are studying for an exam. You spend hours reviewing notes and practicing problems. However, you don't get enough sleep. When you take the exam, you struggle to recall information and make mistakes. This is because your brain didn't have the opportunity to consolidate the information during sleep.

**Definition of Purpose:** Sleep is essential for memory consolidation and learning because it allows the brain to process and store information effectively.

Section 2: The Consequences of Sleep Deprivation

**Theoretical Concept:** Sleep deprivation occurs when an individual does not get enough sleep. This can have negative effects on brain health.

**Practical Example:** Imagine you have a big project due tomorrow. You decide to stay up all night to work on it. However, the next day you feel groggy and have trouble concentrating. This is because you didn't get enough sleep, which affects your brain function.

**Definition of Purpose:** Sleep deprivation can have negative effects on brain health, including impairing memory, attention, and decision-making skills.

Section 3: Strategies to Improve Sleep Quality

**Theoretical Concept:** There are several strategies that can improve sleep quality. These include maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and avoiding stimulants such as caffeine and electronics before bed.

**Practical Example:** Imagine you want to improve your sleep quality. You start by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. You also create a relaxing bedtime routine, which includes taking a warm bath and reading a book. Finally, you avoid using electronics before bed. As a result, you fall asleep faster and wake up feeling more rested.

**Definition of Purpose:** Strategies such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and avoiding stimulants can improve sleep quality, leading to better brain health.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, sleep is essential for brain health. It plays a crucial role in memory consolidation and learning. Sleep deprivation can have negative effects on brain function, including impairing memory, attention, and decision-making skills. However, there are several strategies that can improve sleep quality, leading to better brain health. By understanding the importance of sleep, we can take steps to ensure that we get enough rest and optimize our cognitive function.

Glossary:
- Sleep: A state of rest during which the body recovers and the brain processes information.
- Memory Consolidation: The process by which memories are strengthened and stored in the brain.
- Learning: The process of acquiring new knowledge or skills.
- Sleep Deprivation: A condition in which an individual does not get enough sleep.
- Cognitive Function: The ability to think, learn, and remember.

Self-Debate Discussion:
Is it important to prioritize sleep over other activities? Why or why not?

Re: Man, I'm that lazy.

Well, I guess I should resize the sprites for the starting animation on the first attack at least. I also would have liked to add a third attack but I'll probably never finish the idea that I have on mind.

About the upside down situation. This was based on the Kyokushi Nanaya attack, but on steriods. That one involved, spin like a top, throw knife fast enough to rip out some organs, somersault jump following the knife at the same speed to create a loose-loose situation. The weird impossible jump is the reason why he's upside down.

Gah, seriously? Has it been more than a year and a half since the last time? I sure do lack any kind of willpower.

Modified dat files to implement this. Be sure to read the README file before trying to overwrite anything.

Re: Man, I'm that lazy.

Having the character available through all the game would be a bit complicated. Characters gets added or removed all around the game. You would need to track all those instances and the character limit number, wich would mean to modify all the data files related to stages.

I guess implementing something along the lines of Saber Lily and Magical Amber would be far more easier, but, I'm not really sure how does those two cases work.

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total possible outcomes. In other words, it measures the chance of an event happening. For example, if we toss a fair coin, there are four possible outcomes: heads or tails, which occur with equal probability (1/2). If we flip a coin five times, there are 32 possible outcomes (2^5), but only one of them is heads five times in a row. So, the probability of getting heads five times in a row is 1/32 or approximately 0.031.

**Section 2: Basic Principles**

There are three basic principles of probability:

1. The sum of all probabilities is equal to one. This means that the total probability of all possible outcomes must be equal to 1.
2. The probability of an event not occurring is equal to one minus the probability of the event occurring. For example, if the probability of getting heads on a coin toss is 1/2, then the probability of getting tails is also 1/2.
3. Independent events have a cumulative probability. This means that if two events are independent (i.e., the occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other), then the probability of both events occurring is the product of their individual probabilities.

**Section 3: Applications**

Probability can be applied in various fields such as:

1. Gambling: Casinos use probability to determine the house edge in games like blackjack, roulette, and slots.
2. Insurance: Insurance companies use probability to calculate premiums based on the risk of an event occurring.
3. Medicine: Doctors use probability to determine the likelihood of a patient developing a certain disease or condition.
4. Engineering: Engineers use probability to design systems that are safe and reliable.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, probability is a useful tool for determining the likelihood of an event occurring. By understanding the basic principles and applications of probability, we can make informed decisions and predictions in various fields.

Q:

Which units has the relation $E=mc^2$?

Fast everyone knows the relation  $E = mc^2$  but I still ask me, which units the relation has.
$c$ is the velocity of light. It means, a constant, isn't it? We therefore just have the relation $E = \text{constant} \times m$
Ok, nice to know the mass and the energy are directly proportional. But the constant is only a constant; with another unit system, it would be another one...
What is wrong to my reflection?

A:

Yes, the proportionality constant $c^2$ is a dimensionful constant which means that its numerical value depends on the choice of units. In SI, it's about $10^{17}\,{\rm{ m^2/s^2}}$. However, theoretical physicists routinely use units in which simply $c=1$ which simplifies many equations.
If a quantity has different values in different unit systems, it doesn't mean that the numerical value is irrelevant. For example, one's height may be 5.9 feet or 180 cm – different numbers – but it's still different from a human whose height is 4 feet = 122 cm. The point is that the information about the units has to be attached to the number and the combination "number, unit" preserves all the physical information and it is independent of the units.
$E=mc^2$ says that one kilogram of matter carries the latent energy of $10^{17}$ joules. one may express the same sentence in many other units. For example, one pound of mass carries $5\times 10^{23}$ ergs of latent energy or so. One may use many conventions but this fact doesn't mean that there is no information in the sentence.
The only wrong thing about your reflexion is that you seem to think that something is wrong.

Lesson: Units and Dimensionless Quantities in Physics

Introduction:
Units are essential in physics because they provide a standardized way of expressing quantities. In this lesson, we will learn about units and dimensionless quantities in physics.

Section 1: Units and Dimensional Analysis

Topic 1: What are units?
Units are standards used to measure physical quantities. They provide a standardized way of expressing quantities, making it easier to compare results and solve problems.

Topic 2: What is dimensional analysis?
Dimensional analysis is a technique used to determine the relationship between different physical quantities. It involves expressing each quantity in terms of a common set of units, known as the base units.

Topic 3: Base units
The base units in physics are the meter (length), the kilogram (mass), the second (time), and the ampere (electric current). All other units can be derived from these base units.

Topic 4: Derived units
Derived units are units that are formed by combining the base units. For example, the joule (J) is a derived unit of work, which is defined as the force applied over a distance.

Topic 5: Dimensionless quantities
A dimensionless quantity is a physical quantity that has no units. It is expressed in terms of fundamental constants, such as the speed of light (c) or the Planck constant (h).

Example: The fine structure constant (α) is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the strength of the electromagnetic interaction between elementary charged particles.

Section 2: Using Units in Physics Equations

Topic 1: How to use units in physics equations
When using units in physics equations, you must ensure that the units on both sides of the equation are consistent. This is known as the principle of homogeneity.

Topic 2: Consistency in units
To ensure consistency in units, you must use the same units for the same quantity throughout the problem. This means that if you use meters for length, you must use meters for all distances in the problem.

Topic 3: Conversion factors
Conversion factors are used to convert one unit to another. For example, to convert meters to kilometers, you multiply by 1000.

Example: If you have a distance of 5 meters, you can convert it to kilometers by multiplying by 1000, giving you a distance of 5 km.

Section 3: Practice Problems

Problem 1: Convert 25 meters to kilometers.
Solution: To convert meters to kilometers, you multiply by 1000. Therefore, 25 meters is equivalent to 25 km.

Problem 2: Calculate the volume of a cube with side length 5 meters.
Solution: The volume of a cube is given by the formula V = s^3, where s is the side length. Therefore, the volume of the cube is 5^3 = 125 cubic meters.

Problem 3: Calculate the energy of a body with mass 2 kg moving at a speed of 5 m/s.
Solution: The energy of a body is given by the formula E = 0.5mv^2, where m is the mass, v is the velocity, and E is the energy. Therefore, the energy of the body is 0.5 * 2 kg * (5 m/s)^2 = 20 Joules.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about units and dimensional analysis in physics. We saw that units are essential for expressing physical quantities and that dimensional analysis is a technique used to relate different units. We also learned how to use units in physics equations and solved practice problems to reinforce our understanding.

Glossary:
- Base units: meter, kilogram, second, ampere
- Derived units: joule, watt, newton
- Dimensionless quantities: fine structure constant, Planck constant

Self-Debate Discussion:
Is it necessary to learn about units and dimensional analysis in physics? Why or why not?

Lesson: The Importance of Checks and Balances in Government

**Introduction:** In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of checks and balances in government. We will explore how this system of power distribution between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches helps to ensure that no one branch becomes too powerful.

**Section 1: What are Checks and Balances?**

Checks and balances refer to the way in which the different branches of government are designed to limit each other's power. This means that each branch has some control over the actions of the others, so that no single branch can become too powerful.

**Section 2: Why are Checks and Balances Important?**

Checks and balances are important because they help to ensure that the government functions properly. If one branch of government becomes too powerful, it could start making decisions that are not in the best interests of the people. By limiting each other's power, the branches of government can work together to make sure that everyone's rights are protected.

**Section 3: Examples of Checks and Balances**

One example of checks and balances is the way in which the president must sign bills passed by Congress before they become law. This gives the president some control over what happens in Congress, but it also means that the president must work with Congress to get things done. Another example is the way in which the Supreme Court can declare laws passed by Congress to be unconstitutional. This gives the court some control over what happens in Congress, but it also means that the court must work with Congress to make sure that laws are fair and just.

**Section 4: Self-Debate Discussion**

What do you think would happen if one branch of government became too powerful? How do you think checks and balances can help to prevent this from happening?

**Glossary:**

- Checks and Balances: A system in which the different branches of government limit each other's power.
- Executive Branch: The branch of government that is responsible for carrying out the laws.
- Legislative Branch: The branch of government that makes the laws.
- Judicial Branch: The branch of government that interprets the laws and ensures that they are applied fairly.

**Conclusion:**

Checks and balances are an important part of our government. They help to ensure that no single branch of government becomes too powerful, and that everyone's rights are protected. By understanding how this system works, we can better appreciate the complex balance of power that makes our government function.

The implementation of the European Directive No 391/89, among the other news, introduced the obligation for the occupational physician to actively participate to the assessment of risks. The reduction of the incidence of "historical" professional pathologies and the arising of work-related disease is making the role of the occupational physician, in the survey and risk assessment, ever more important, especially in consideration of the physiological and biomechanical peculiar competences required. In addition, a correct risk assessment allows to optimise the valorisation of human resources. The occupational physician, in other terms, can not only protect the health of workers, but "save" jobs too. The survey carried out in a logistic unit of a large-scale distributors group, documented herein, can give evidence of that.

Lesson: Introduction to Risk Assessment and Occupational Health

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Risk assessment is the process of identifying potential hazards and evaluating the risks associated with them. It is an essential part of occupational health and safety management. The aim of risk assessment is to prevent accidents and ill health among workers by identifying and controlling potential hazards.

### Section 2: Questions and Answers
**Question:** What is the importance of risk assessment in occupational health?
**Answer:** Risk assessment is crucial in occupational health because it helps identify potential hazards and evaluate the risks associated with them. By identifying and controlling potential hazards, risk assessment prevents accidents and ill health among workers.

**Question:** Who is responsible for conducting risk assessments in the workplace?
**Answer:** Employers are responsible for conducting risk assessments in the workplace. They must ensure that all potential hazards are identified and controlled to prevent accidents and ill health among workers.

### Section 3: Definitions and Examples
**Definition:** A hazard is any thing or situation that has the potential to cause harm, including injury, illness, or death, to workers. Examples of hazards include chemical substances, heavy machinery, and extreme temperatures.

**Definition:** A risk is the chance of something bad happening, such as an accident or ill health, as a result of exposure to a hazard. Risk is calculated by combining the likelihood of an event occurring (probability) with the consequences of that event (severity).

**Example:** A factory that uses heavy machinery to produce products has a hazard. The risk of this hazard is the likelihood of someone getting injured by the machinery. The severity of the risk would depend on the probability of the event occurring and the potential consequences of the event.

### Section 4: Practical Examples Using Mathematical Abstractions and Real-World Scenarios
**Mathematical Abstraction:** We can use the following formula to calculate the risk of a particular hazard: Risk = Probability x Severity.

**Real-World Scenario:** Suppose a construction site has a probability of 0.1 (10%) of someone getting injured by falling debris, and the severity of the injury ranges from minor to severe, with a probability of 0.5 (50%). Using the formula above, we can calculate the risk of this hazard as follows: Risk = 0.1 x 0.5 = 0.05, or 5%. This means that there is a 5% chance of someone getting injured by falling debris at the construction site.

### Section 5: Critical Thinking Discussion
**Question:** How can we ensure that risk assessments are effective in preventing accidents and ill health among workers?

**Answer:** To ensure that risk assessments are effective, employers should involve workers in the process, provide adequate training and resources, and regularly review and update the assessments as necessary. Additionally, employers should prioritize addressing the highest risks first and take action to control potential hazards.

### Glossary
- Hazard: Any thing or situation that has the potential to cause harm, including injury, illness, or death, to workers.
- Risk: The chance of something bad happening, such as an accident or ill health, as a result of exposure to a hazard.
- Probability: The likelihood of an event occurring.
- Severity: The potential consequences of an event.
- Occupational Health: The promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental, and social well-being of workers in all occupations.

### Conclusion
Understanding the importance of risk assessment in occupational health is essential for preventing accidents and ill health among workers. By identifying potential hazards and evaluating the risks associated with them, employers can take steps to control these hazards and protect their employees' health. This lesson has provided theoretical concepts, practical examples, and critical thinking discussions to help students understand the importance of risk assessment in occupational health.


text: The Law of Bondage. >> Wednesday, January 30, 2013. This week's Gallery is Bond. And you know I'm only going one way with it!. But in the Guiding forums it is very different. People regularly don't have the same opinion but the vein of the threads is different. It is supportive even in it's differences. These 2 threads aren't examples of outstanding support or difference but they were my catalysts for today's thoughts on the reason why I know it's 'safe' in Guiding.. But there are so many moments when it feels good, right, welcoming, supportive and those moments usually come from times of togetherness when we rejoin those bonds..... All of us are responsible as individuals for maintaining this supportive bond. It is the Moral of the mighty Oak.

Lesson: The Law of Bondage

## Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about the Law of Bondage, which states that "the more you try to control something or someone, the more it will try to control you." We will explore the concept of bondage and how it relates to our lives.

## Section 1: What is Bondage?
Bondage refers to the state of being bound or enslaved by something or someone. It can be physical, emotional, or mental. In this lesson, we will focus on the concept of bondage in terms of relationships and personal growth.

## Section 2: The Law of Bondage
The Law of Bondage states that the more you try to control something or someone, the more it will try to control you. This means that the more you try to hold onto something or someone, the more you will be held back by it.

## Section 3: Examples
Let's consider some examples to understand the Law of Bondage better.

1. In a relationship, if one person tries to control the other person's actions and decisions, it can lead to resentment and distance. The more the controlling person tries to control the other, the more the controlled person will feel trapped and suffocated, leading to a breakdown in the relationship.

2. In personal growth, if you try to force yourself to do something you don't want to do, it can lead to frustration and stagnation. For example, if you force yourself to wake up early every day without wanting to, you may find it difficult to maintain the habit, and it may even harm your overall productivity.

## Section 4: Conclusion
The Law of Bondage reminds us that the more we try to control something or someone, the more it will try to control us. Instead, we should focus on building healthy relationships and pursuing personal growth in a way that feels natural and authentic. By understanding and applying the Law of Bondage, we can avoid unnecessary struggles and live a more fulfilling life.

Geneva (AFP)

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres held "highly constructive" talks on Cyprus with key parties, enabling a clear vision of what could lead to a settlement, the UN said on Saturday.

Guterres met on Friday with President Nicos Anastasiades, the Greek-Cypriot leader who heads Cyprus's internationally-recognised government, and his Turkish-Cypriot counterpart Mustafa Akinci. He also met with the so-called guarantor powers Greece, Turkey and Britain.

Guterres' spokesman said the series of talks, held in the Swiss alpine resort of Crans-Montana, was "highly constructive... a positive, results-oriented meeting."

"A clear understanding emerged of the essential elements of a package that might lead to a comprehensive settlement in Cyprus," the spokesman added.

The talks continued "at the political level" on Saturday and Guterres "remains fully engaged" in the effort, the spokesman's statement said.

The negotiations have been billed as the best chance for resolving one of the world's longest-running political crises.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when Turkish troops invaded and later occupied its northern third in response to an Athens-inspired putsch seeking union with Greece.

Turkey maintains more than 35,000 troops there.

Hopes of reunification depend greatly on a drastic reduction of Ankara's military presence.

Several previous peace drives have stumbled over the issue, with Greek-Cypriots demanding a total withdrawal of what they say is an occupying force and minority Turkish-speakers fearful of ethnic violence in the event of a pullout.

A diplomatic source told AFP that Ankara was prepared to slash its troop numbers by as much as 80 percent, but Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu went on national television Thursday to deny a withdrawal was planned.

The talks began in an upbeat mood on Wednesday.

However, a source close to the discussions said that the atmosphere hardened on a number of issues -- particularly the Turkish-Cypriot demand for an alternating presidency in any future united state.

Cavusoglu also told reporters the Crans-Montana talks would be the "final conference" on the Cyprus problem, adding: "We need to reach a settlement."
