T-lymphocyte subpopulations in pregnant women with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes.
The thymus-dependent immune system is involved in the disease process underlying Type 1 diabetes. Several studies have thus shown the distribution of peripheral T-lymphocyte subsets to be altered in diabetics. Unlike many other autoimmune diseases which improve during pregnancy, Type 1 diabetes has a higher incidence in pregnant than in non-pregnant women. Therefore, in this study the distribution of lymphocyte subpopulations in the blood was examined in pregnant, newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetic patients and compared with values from non-pregnant patients and healthy controls. The pregnant diabetics displayed a higher percentage of CD8+ cells (28.4 +/- 1.2%) than the non-pregnant diabetics (21.6 +/- 1.3%, p less than 0.005), but did not differ from the controls (29.0 +/- 1.3%). The CD3+ and CD4+ cell distribution displayed no significant difference within the groups. Among the pregnant diabetics a positive correlation was found between the percentage of CD4+ cells and the week of pregnancy when diabetes was diagnosed (p less than 0.01). No other correlations between immunological and clinical parameters were found. Thus the subsets of immune cells are not changed in an autoimmune direction for pregnant, newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetics as they are for non-pregnant. Therefore, the increased incidence of Type 1 diabetes in pregnant women is unlikely to be due to intensified autoimmune alterations in the immune system, but rather to changes induced in the beta-cells during pregnancy as discussed.

Lesson: Understanding the Immune System and Autoimmune Diseases
Introduction:
The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend our body against infections and diseases. It is made up of two main types of cells: lymphocytes and phagocytes. Lymphocytes are responsible for detecting and destroying foreign substances, while phagocytes engulf and digest them. In this lesson, we will learn about the immune system, its components, and how it can go wrong in autoimmune diseases like Type 1 diabetes.
Section 1: The Immune System
- The immune system is made up of lymphocytes (B cells, T cells) and phagocytes (macrophages, neutrophils).
- B cells produce antibodies that help neutralize pathogens, while T cells help regulate the immune response.
- Phagocytes engulf and digest pathogens.
- The thymus is an organ where T cells mature and are tested for self-tolerance.
- The spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow are all part of the immune system.
Section 2: Lymphocyte Subpopulations
- There are two main types of lymphocytes: B cells and T cells.
- B cells produce antibodies that help neutralize pathogens, while T cells help regulate the immune response.
- Within these two types, there are different subpopulations of cells, such as CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
- CD4+ T cells help activate B cells and other immune cells, while CD8+ T cells directly attack infected cells.
Section 3: Autoimmune Diseases
- Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells and tissues.
- Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
- In some cases, the immune system may not recognize self-tissue and attack it, leading to autoimmune diseases.
- The exact cause of autoimmune diseases is unknown, but genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors may contribute.
Section 4: Conclusion
- Understanding the immune system and its components is crucial for understanding autoimmune diseases like Type 1 diabetes.
- Lymphocyte subpopulations play a crucial role in the immune response and can be affected in autoimmune diseases.
- Further research is needed to understand the exact mechanisms behind autoimmune diseases and develop effective treatments.

- Type 1 diabetes: An autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.


text: VGA and XGA are supposed to handle 720 p but many factors place limits on the ability to display 720 effectively. HDMI was developed specifically for HD, or 720 and up, 1080 being the goal. HDMI has now become the digital stndard interface. VGA is analog and 720p is a bit of a reach. A video card or even an external unit with the HDMI would be the PC approach, but the monitor may not have that interface. Once that conversion from analog to digital is done on the pc, then any unit with an HDMI port will work as a display.

Lesson: How to Choose the Right Display Interface for Your Computer

Introduction:
In today's world, technology has advanced so much that we have different display interfaces for our computers. The most common ones are VGA, DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort. It can be challenging to determine which interface is suitable for your computer or monitor. In this lesson, we will explore the differences between these interfaces and help you choose the right one for your needs.

Section 1: Understanding the Different Display Interfaces

Topic 1: VGA
- VGA (Video Graphics Array) is an analog interface that has been around for a long time.
- It was initially designed for CRT monitors and is not ideal for modern displays like LCD and LED monitors.
- VGA can support a maximum resolution of 640x480 pixels at 320x200 pixels.
- Due to its analog nature, VGA is prone to interference and signal degradation, making it unsuitable for high-quality displays.

Topic 2: DVI
- DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a digital interface that was designed to replace VGA.
- It supports higher resolutions than VGA, with the ability to display up to 2560x1600 pixels.
- DVI comes in two types: DVI-D (single-link) and DVI-I (dual-link). DVI-I can support resolutions up to 1080p.
- DVI is a good choice if you have an older monitor that doesn't support HDMI or DisplayPort.

Topic 3: HDMI
- HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface that was designed for high-definition displays.
- It supports resolutions up to 4K (3840x2160 pixels) and can transmit audio and video signals through a single cable.
- HDMI is the most common interface for modern displays, including TVs, monitors, and projectors.
- It is also widely used in consumer electronics devices like DVD players, Blu-ray players, and game consoles.

Topic 4: DisplayPort
- DisplayPort is a digital interface that was designed to replace both VGA and DVI.
- It supports resolutions up to 5K (5120x2880 pixels) and can transmit audio and video signals through a single cable.
- DisplayPort is commonly found on modern computers and displays, especially those targeted at gamers and professionals.
- It also supports features like audio return channel (ARC) and multiple display support.

Section 2: Choosing the Right Display Interface for Your Needs

Topic 1: Resolution Support

MIT’s legacy as one of the world’s most prestigious technical universities has a curious byproduct — a history of clever pranks, or “hacks.” Take a look at the University’s long history of clever public disruptions. Latest: According to Rachel D., an MIT Admissions blogger, Lobby 7 was converted into the anti-gravity Battle Room from the novel ‘Enders Game’ on the same weekend the movie adaptation was released. Outside, Killian Court was draped with banners signiying three different armies in the sci-fi story: Grffin, Dragon, and Tiger.

The day after the “Breaking Bad’’ finale, students turned the school’s Alchemist into an homage to Heisenberg, the alter-ego of show’s main character.

Unknown persons converted the scaffolding construction workers are using to install a new skylight in MIT’s Great Dome into a Pac-Man reference. (Lights along the L-shaped scaffolding, representing the dots from the game, are seen better at night.) This may be the most recent stunt by MIT’s student body, but it’s far from the first.

In 2012, MIT hackers turned the Green Building, the tallest building in Cambridge, into a giant, playable, full color game of Tetris. The project was the result of almost five years of planning, according to MIT’s school newspaper.

In April 2012, an odd addition appeared on the Stata Center roof in MIT. Hackers placed a Dalek, a cyborg from the British series “Doctor Who” on top of the school’s Computer Science and Artificial Laboratory.

In 2010, Cantabrigians noticed a strange sight atop an MIT building: A police call box reminiscent of the time machine used by science fiction hero Doctor Who.

In 2009, MIT students built an upside-down room at the Wiesner building on Ames Street in Cambridge, according to the Cambridge Chronicle. The students furnished the room with a pool table, framed painting, and leather seats.

The upside-down room even featured a cat.

2009

An anonymous group of students scaled the Great Dome of the campus and installed the first seven notes of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” The prank highlighted the resemblance of the dome’s horizontal lines to a blank piece of sheet music.

2009 A half scale replica of the Apollo Lunar Module was placed on the Great Dome to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the moon landing.

2009

MIT students placed a replica of an MBTA’s Red Line car on the Great Dome. The solar-powered installation rode around the entire circumference.

2007

MIT pranksters transformed a statue of John Harvard — the namesake of Cambridge’s other well-known university — into a video game character from “Halo 3.”

2006

A fire truck appeared on the top of the Great Dome, one of the signature buildings on the campus.

As you’ll see in the coming slides, putting things on top of the dome is a recurring theme for MIT pranks.

2006

A Civil War-era cannon was moved from rival CalTech to the area outside MIT’s Green Building.

2003 A replica of the first airplane appeared on the Great Dome to celebrate the 100th anniversary of controlled powered flight. The Wright Brothers’ plane replica included a dummy figure.

2001

A snowman appeared on top of the dome.

1999

The pranksters turned the dome into Star Wars character R2D2.

1994

A police car was put on top of the dome.

1985

A speed limit sign geared toward an advanced audience.

1982

MIT made its mark on the Harvard-Yale football game by burying a weather balloon and then inflating it during the match. It exploded. Recently, MIT interrupted another Harvard-Yale game by tossing out stuffed beavers from a balloon above.

1979

A plastic cow from Hilltop Steakhouse was hoisted up to the top of the dome.

1972

The piano launch from the roof of Baker House. The piano launch is now an annual event at MIT.

Early 1970s

Pranksters embracing their school’s reputation for braininess customized a street sign.

Early 1970’s

Another street sign from the same era warned motorists they were entering MIT’s territory.

1962

Pranksters turned the MIT dome into the Great Pumpkin. Hackers reprised the pumpkin prank in 1994 by hanging cloth from the dome and putting orange filters over the lights.

1928

This hack involved a cow on a dorm roof.

Interior magnet rotary machines are well known in the art and include interior magnet motors and generators. Interior magnet rotary machines are a type of permanent magnet rotary machines and generally comprise a rotor having magnets built inside it. Examples of interior magnet machines may be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,700,097 and 4,486,678.
Interior magnet machines have been widely investigated because their unique rotor structure combines synchronous and induction characteristics in a solid rotor that utilizes permanent magnets. Interior magnet machines may be used in different environments, with alternating current or direct current, and they provide a generally constant torque output throughout their speed range, which can include very high speeds due to the interior magnet rotor construction. Interior magnet machines are also preferred because of their contactless two-dimensional (perpendicular to the rotor axis) flux path between the rotor and stator.
Prior to the development of interior magnet machines, rotary machines were characterized by electrical windings on a rotor, the use of slip rings or brushes to accommodate the rotation of the windings or to commutate the flow of electricity, and the maintenance of a rotating electrical connection. This type of prior machine requires the rotor to be in electrical contact with the stator. Thus, slip rings and brushes are necessary even though they degrade operational efficiency through power loss from the electrical resistance of the brush contact, and through mechanical friction loss due to the drag of the brushes on the rotor. The windings on the rotor also significantly increase the mass of the rotor, necessitating slower rotational speeds or more energy from a prime mover. Moreover, the constant rotation, heating, and magnetic forces exerted on the coils and their insulation cause them to fatigue, crack, degrade, and ultimately fail with time.
The interior magnet machine solves these problems by mounting permanent magnets, rather than electromagnets, on the rotor. This eliminates the need for rotating electrical connections, saves the electrical power otherwise expended in exciting the field, lessens the amount of internal heat generation, and increases power density.
Notwithstanding the above advantages, interior magnet machines have not been widely used because a viable method for mass producing an interior magnet machine at low cost has heretofore not been available. See for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,725,750, which describes an internal magnet rotor having a frame including a group of trough-shaped openings around the periphery thereof, extending parallel to the axis of the rotor frame, within the central portion thereof. A corresponding trough-shaped permanent magnet is inserted in each rotor frame opening.
Unfortunately, the rotor of the aforesaid U.S. Pat. No. 4,725,750 is difficult to efficiently mass produce because of the need to provide trough-shaped openings in the central portion of the rotor. In particular, the rotor frames must be made one at a time by a molding operation, or each trough-shaped opening must be individually cut from the central portion of the rotor frame. Molding or cutting are inherently slow and expensive, and as such, these rotors cannot be efficiently mass produced.
Moreover, besides being inefficient from a mass production standpoint, the machine described in the aforesaid U.S. Pat. No. 4,725,750 is inefficient, because of the flux leakage paths that are associated with the trough-shaped centrally located magnets. As is well known to those having skill in the art, flux leakage causes hysteresis loss, eddy current loss, heat production, and magnetic paths that operate at less than full saturation, resulting in low energy density and an increase in bulk and weight. Furthermore, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to uniformly magnetize these trough-shaped magnets, particularly at their respective ends.

Lesson: Introduction to Interior Magnet Rotary Machines

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Interior magnet rotary machines are a type of permanent magnet rotary machines that have a rotor with magnets built inside it. These machines have been widely investigated because of their unique rotor structure, which combines synchronous and induction characteristics in a solid rotor that utilizes permanent magnets. This allows them to provide a generally constant torque output throughout their speed range, which can include very high speeds due to the interior magnet rotor construction.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

One example of an interior magnet machine is an electric motor that uses permanent magnets in its rotor to create a magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with the stator's magnetic field, causing the rotor to rotate and produce motion. The use of permanent magnets in the rotor allows for a more efficient and compact design compared to traditional motors that use electromagnets.

Another example of an interior magnet machine is a generator that uses the same principles as an electric motor but in reverse. The rotor's permanent magnets interact with the stator's magnetic field to produce an electrical current, which can then be used to power electrical devices.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Why are interior magnet rotary machines preferred over other types of rotary machines? One reason is their contactless two-dimensional (perpendicular to the rotor axis) flux path between the rotor and stator. This allows for a more efficient and compact design compared to other types of machines that require physical contact between the rotor and stator. Additionally, interior magnet machines can be used in different environments, with alternating current or direct current, and they provide a generally constant torque output throughout their speed range, which can include very high speeds due to the interior magnet rotor construction.

## Glossary
- Permanent magnets: Materials that exhibit strong magnetic properties and can retain their magnetization for long periods of time.
- Synchronous and induction characteristics: In the context of rotary machines, synchronous refers to the production of a rotating magnetic field by a rotating magnetic field, while induction refers to the production of an electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor due to a changing magnetic field.
- Torque output: The measure of the rotational force that a machine can produce.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the unique features of interior magnet rotary machines and how they can be used in various environments. We also explored practical examples of these machines, such as electric motors and generators, and engaged in self-debating discussions about why they are preferred over other types of rotary machines. By understanding the theoretical concepts, practical examples, and self-debating discussions related to interior magnet rotary machines, we can apply these skills to new problems and further our understanding of the field of rotary machines.

IMO, emacs wins just for it's sheer flexibility.

Yeah, it sucks at first, but if you're a professional text wrangler, you owe
it to yourself to try to master one of the big two (emacs or vim)...

I kept trying out emacs, getting scared off, trying it out again, scaring away
again... But I always came back because other text editors annoyed me with
their lack of ability to do exactly precisely what I wanted.

With emacs, whatever I want to do... It's just another line of lisp in .emacs.
Or sometimes another package in .emacs.d and another line in .emacs...

~~~
j2d2
I don't think it sucks much at first at all... Most people I know that have a
hard time with emacs don't want to learn anything fancy and think the arrow
keys are fine for navigation. Let them watch you program for a few minutes and
they'll be so impressed that they'll happily learn the new commands. OR,
they're not cut out for technology anyway...

I had a bit of trouble with it at first, until I realized that I was supposed
to be pulling it apart and making it bend to my every editing whim.

The combination of keyboard-focused editing, on-the-fly extensibility, and
decently thorough and clear documentation has made emacs my editor of choice
for just about everything.

Not to mention that you can get a constant source of ideas to code to keep
yourself sharp, if that's your sort of thing.

Now I'm not much of a programmer, so the answer may be obvious to some of you,

I have used pretty much all of those and then some (e, EditPlus, Komodo, etc)
over several years and the best the only one I finally fell in love with was
VIM.

Actually decided to use Vim cause my "e" trial expired and I have never looked
back. Been using it for a few months and text editing is so fluent, easy and
intuitive despite the strong learning curve. Take an hour or so each day (or
every few days) and do a chapter on the 500 page Vim book.

Lesson: Introduction to Data Integration and ETL Development

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Data integration is the process of combining data from multiple sources into a unified dataset. This process is essential for data analysis, reporting, and decision-making. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) is a type of data integration that involves extracting data from multiple sources, transforming it into a common format, and loading it into a destination database.

In this lesson, we will learn about the core concepts of data integration and ETL development, including:

1. What is data integration?
2. Why is data integration important?
3. What are the steps involved in ETL development?
4. What are some common tools used for ETL development?

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider an example where we need to integrate data from two different databases - Database A and Database B. The goal is to create a single dataset that contains all the information from both databases.

1. Extract: We use an ETL tool to extract data from both databases. The tool connects to each database and retrieves the data according to our specifications.
2. Transform: Once the data is extracted, we need to transform it into a common format. For example, we may need to convert dates, rename columns, or aggregate data based on certain criteria.
3. Load: Finally, we load the transformed data into a destination database. This could be a new database or an existing one.

Now let's look at a real-world scenario. Suppose you work for a retail company that has an online store. You need to integrate data from the website's sales database with the inventory database. The goal is to create a single dataset that shows the total sales for each product in real-time.

Using an ETL tool, you can extract data from the sales database and the inventory database. Then, you can transform the data by joining the two datasets based on the product ID and aggregating the sales data. Finally, you can load the transformed data into a destination database that shows the total sales for each product in real-time.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

1. Why is data integration important?
    - Data integration is important because it allows us to combine data from multiple sources into a unified dataset. This enables us to analyze data more effectively, make informed decisions, and gain insights that would not be possible otherwise.

2. What are some common tools used for ETL development?
    - Some common tools used for ETL development include Informatica PowerCenter, SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services), and Talend Open Studio. These tools allow us to extract data from multiple sources, transform it into a common format, and load it into a destination database.

## Glossary

- Data Integration: The process of combining data from multiple sources into a unified dataset.
- ETL (Extract, Transform, Load): A type of data integration that involves extracting data from multiple sources, transforming it into a common format, and loading it into a destination database.
- Destination Database: A database where the transformed data is loaded after the ETL process.
- Real-time Data: Data that is updated continuously as it is being processed.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the core concepts of data integration and ETL development. We also explored a real-world scenario where we integrated data from two different databases to create a single dataset. By understanding these concepts, we can apply them to other data integration and ETL development tasks in the future.

Lesson: Introduction to Financial Literacy

## Section 1: The Importance of Financial Literacy

Financial literacy refers to the ability to understand and use various financial skills, including personal finance management, budgeting, and investing. It is an essential life skill that can help individuals make informed decisions about their money and achieve their financial goals.

## Section 2: Basic Concepts in Financial Literacy

**The Time Value of Money:** The concept of the time value of money states that money today is worth more than the same amount of money in the future due to its potential earning capacity. This means that investing early can lead to significant returns over time.

**Budgeting:** Budgeting involves creating a plan to manage your income and expenses. It includes tracking your spending, setting financial goals, and making necessary adjustments to meet those goals.

**Saving and Investing:** Saving refers to setting aside money for future use, while investing involves putting your money into assets that have the potential to grow in value over time. Both saving and investing are essential components of financial literacy.

## Section 3: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

**Example:** Imagine you have $10,000 to invest. If you put it in a savings account with a 2% annual interest rate, after one year, you will have $10,200. However, if you invest that same $10,000 in stocks that yield an average of 8% per year, you could potentially have over $10,800 after one year. This example demonstrates the importance of investing and the potential benefits of compound interest.

**Discussion:** Why is financial literacy important? How does the concept of the time value of money apply to everyday life? What are some ways to save money and invest wisely?

## Section 4: Glossary

**Financial Literacy:** The ability to understand and use various financial skills, including personal finance management, budgeting, and investing.

**Time Value of Money:** The concept that money today is worth more than the same amount of money in the future due to its potential earning capacity.

**Budgeting:** Creating a plan to manage your income and expenses by tracking your spending, setting financial goals, and making necessary adjustments to meet those goals.

**Saving:** Setting aside money for future use.

**Investing:** Putting your money into assets that have the potential to grow in value over time.
