- Architects use techniques such as window placement, skylights, and reflective surfaces to maximize natural lighting.

Topic 4: Artificial Lighting
- Artificial lighting is necessary when natural lighting is not sufficient or when it is not possible to use natural lighting.
- Architects choose different types of artificial lighting based on the intended use of a space and the desired atmosphere.
- For example, task lighting may be used in a reading nook to provide enough light for reading without causing eye strain.

Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Topic 5: Lighting and Energy Efficiency
- Lighting accounts for a significant portion of energy consumption in buildings.
- Therefore, architects design buildings that minimize energy consumption by using energy-efficient lighting systems.
- For example, motion sensors can detect when a room is unoccupied and turn off the lights automatically.

Topic 6: Lighting and Safety
- Lighting is crucial for safety in buildings.
- Poor lighting can cause accidents, injuries, and property damage.
- Architects ensure that there is adequate lighting in stairwells, parking lots, and other high-risk areas.

Glossary:
- Natural lighting: light that enters a space through windows and skylights.
- Artificial lighting: light that is produced by electrical sources such as lamps, bulbs, and LEDs.
- Task lighting: focused light that is directed towards a specific area or task.
- Ambient lighting: general lighting that creates a uniform illumination throughout a space.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, lighting is a critical component of architecture that affects the visual appearance, comfort, and functionality of a space. Proper lighting can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a building while improper lighting can make it look unattractive. Architects use different types of lighting, such as natural, artificial, and task lighting, to create the desired atmosphere and functionality in a space.

abstract: 'In this paper, we examine the long-neglected yet important effects of point sampling patterns in point cloud GANs. Through extensive experiments, we show that sampling-insensitive discriminators ([*e.g.* ]{}PointNet-Max) produce shape point clouds with point clustering artifacts while sampling-oversensitive discriminators ([*e.g.* ]{}PointNet++, DGCNN) fail to guide valid shape generation. We propose the concept of sampling spectrum to depict the different sampling sensitivities of discriminators. We further study how different evaluation metrics weigh the sampling pattern against the geometry and propose several perceptual metrics forming a sampling spectrum of metrics. Guided by the proposed sampling spectrum, we discover a middle-point sampling-aware baseline discriminator, PointNet-Mix, which improves all existing point cloud generators by a large margin on sampling-related metrics. We point out that, though recent research has been focused on the generator design, the main bottleneck of point cloud GAN actually lies in the discriminator design. Our work provides both suggestions and tools for building future discriminators. We will release the code to facilitate future research.'

# Lesson: Understanding Point Cloud GANs
## Introduction
Point cloud GANs are a type of generative adversarial network (GAN) that generates 3D shapes or objects from scratch. They have many applications, such as in computer graphics, virtual reality, and robotics. In this lesson, we will learn about the key components of point cloud GANs, including the discriminator and the generator. We will also explore the concept of sampling patterns and how they affect the quality of the generated shapes.
## Section 1: Overview of Point Cloud GANs
A point cloud GAN consists of two main components: the discriminator and the generator. The discriminator is responsible for evaluating the quality of the generated shapes, while the generator creates new shapes based on the feedback it receives from the discriminator.
## Section 2: Sampling Patterns in Point Cloud GANs
The quality of the generated shapes depends on the sampling pattern used by the discriminator. There are two types of sampling patterns: sampling-insensitive and sampling-oversensitive. Sampling-insensitive discriminators produce shape point clouds with point clustering artifacts, while sampling-oversensitive discriminators fail to guide valid shape generation. To overcome these issues, we can use a middle-point sampling-aware baseline discriminator called PointNet-Mix.
## Section 3: Evaluating Point Cloud GANs
To evaluate the quality of the generated shapes, we can use several metrics that form a sampling spectrum of metrics. These metrics weigh the sampling pattern against the geometry of the shapes. By using these metrics, we can determine whether the generated shapes are accurate and realistic.
## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about point cloud GANs, sampling patterns, and how to evaluate the quality of the generated shapes. We also explored the concept of the sampling spectrum and how it can be used to improve the performance of point cloud GANs. By understanding these concepts, we can apply them to other areas of computer science and engineering.

Lesson: Introduction to Fishing Lures

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

A fishing lure is a type of artificial fishing bait designed to attract fish. These lures are usually made from materials such as plastic, metal, or wood and come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. They can be used to catch different types of fish, including bass, trout, and salmon.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

One popular type of fishing lure is the spoon lure. Spoon lures are designed to mimic the movement of a small fish or other prey, which attracts larger fish to bite. They are typically made from metal and have a concave surface that reflects light, making them visible underwater.

Another type of fishing lure is the crankbait. Crankbaits are designed to look like small fish or other prey, and they vibrate and wobble as they move through the water. This action attracts fish to bite. Crankbaits can be used to catch a variety of fish, including bass, walleye, and pike.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

In real-world scenarios, fishermen use fishing lures to catch fish in various environments, such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. They must consider factors such as water depth, water temperature, and time of day when selecting the appropriate lure.

For example, if fishing in a lake during the summer, a fisherman may choose to use a spoon lure that reflects sunlight and imitates a small fish. If fishing in a river during the fall, a fisherman may choose to use a crankbait that imitates a dying minnow.

## Glossary

- Fishing lure: A type of artificial fishing bait designed to attract fish.
- Spoon lure: A type of fishing lure that mimics the movement of a small fish or prey.
- Crankbait: A type of fishing lure that vibrates and wobbles as it moves through the water.
- Artificial fishing bait: A man-made object used to attract fish.

## Conclusion

Fishing lures are an essential tool for fishermen, allowing them to catch various types of fish in different environments. By understanding the theoretical concepts and practical applications of fishing lures, fishermen can make informed decisions about which lures to use and when, ultimately leading to successful fishing trips.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy: strategies for prevention and management of complications.
The placement of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes is within the realm of the head and neck surgeon because most are proficient in the use of rigid and flexible esophagoscopes. The ability to provide comprehensive care for the patient with head and neck cancer provides further incentive for the head and neck surgeon to adopt this technique. Although it is a technically simple procedure, the surgeon must be aware of the range of complications that can occur with PEG. We review our experience with PEG focusing on the complications as well as strategies for the prevention and management of these complications. A retrospective review of the records of patients who underwent PEG at Stanford University by the Head and Neck Surgery Service between July 1992 and December 1998 was conducted. A total of 103 patients were identified, of which 84 (82%) were patients with head and neck cancers. Complications associated with PEG were identified. All PEGs were performed using the pull technique. There was no mortality associated with the procedure. Minor complications occurred in 11 cases (10.7%). These included cellulitis (4), ileus (3), tube extrusion (1), clogged lumen (1), and peristomal leakage (2). The only major complication was a single case of PEG site metastasis. The review of our experience with PEG tube placement revealed a low complication rate. Safe PEG placement was achieved by transillumination of the abdominal wall and confirmation by ballottement. In addition, appropriate patient selection, use of perioperative antibiotics, as well as meticulous post-procedure care contributed to the low rate of complications. For the patients with head and neck cancer, a barrier should be placed between the tumor and the instrumentation at the time of tube placement.

Lesson: Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG)

## Introduction

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is a procedure used to insert a feeding tube into the stomach through the abdominal wall. This procedure is commonly performed on patients who have difficulty swallowing or require long-term nutritional support. In this lesson, we will discuss the steps involved in performing a PEG, the potential complications associated with the procedure, and strategies for preventing and managing these complications.

## Step-by-step guide to performing a PEG

1. Consultation and preparation: Before the procedure, the patient should be thoroughly assessed by a multidisciplinary team, including a gastroenterologist, surgeon, and dietitian. The patient's medical history, current medications, and nutritional status should be reviewed.

2. Local anesthesia: The patient is given local anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

3. Skin preparation: The skin is cleaned and prepared with a surgical scrub solution.

4. Placement of the PEG tube: Under fluoroscopy guidance, a percutaneous puncture is made through the abdominal wall into the stomach. A gastrostomy tube is then passed through the puncture site and into the stomach.

5. Securing the PEG tube: The PEG tube is secured to the abdominal wall with sutures or a skin-fastening device.

6. Dressing and post-procedure care: A sterile dressing is applied to the site, and the patient is monitored closely for any complications.

## Potential complications and strategies for prevention and management

1. Bleeding and hematoma formation: To minimize the risk of bleeding, the puncture site should be chosen carefully, and hemostasis should be achieved before inserting the PEG tube. If a hematoma does form, it can be managed conservatively with compression or surgically if necessary.

2. Perforation: The risk of perforation can be reduced by using appropriate puncture sites and techniques. If a perforation does occur, it may require surgical intervention.

3. Leakage: Leakage can occur at the site where the PEG tube exits the abdominal wall. To minimize this risk, careful attention should be paid to the positioning of the tube. If a leak does develop, it can be managed by replacing the tube or repairing the site of the leak.

4. Infection: Infection is a common complication of any surgical procedure. To minimize the risk of infection, strict aseptic techniques should be followed during the procedure. If an infection does develop, it can be managed with antibiotics and possibly require the removal of the PEG tube.

5. Dislodgement or displacement of the PEG tube: The PEG tube can become dislodged or displaced, leading to a need for reinsertion. To minimize this risk, the tube should be secured firmly to the abdominal wall.

6. Gastrointestinal obstruction: Although rare, gastrointestinal obstruction can occur due to the presence of the PEG tube. To minimize this risk, the tube should be placed in a location that allows for normal gastrointestinal function.

7. Skin issues: The skin around the PEG site can become irritated or infected. To minimize this risk, proper wound care and hygiene should be followed.

Conclusion

In conclusion, PEG is a valuable procedure for patients who require long-term nutritional support or have difficulty swallowing. By understanding the potential complications associated with the procedure and implementing strategies for prevention and management, patients can be safely and effectively treated with PEG.

The background description provided herein is for the purpose of generally presenting the context of the disclosure. Work of the presently named inventors, to the extent it is described in this background section, as well as aspects of the description that may not otherwise qualify as prior art at the time of filing, are neither expressly nor impliedly admitted as prior art against the present disclosure.
Internal combustion engines combust an air and fuel mixture within cylinders to drive pistons, which produces drive torque. Air flow into the engine is regulated via a throttle valve, which adjusts a throttle area to control air flow into the engine. A fuel control system adjusts the rate that fuel is injected to provide a desired air/fuel mixture to the cylinders and/or to achieve a desired torque output. Increasing the amount of air and fuel provided to the cylinders increases the torque output of the engine.
In spark-ignition engines, spark initiates combustion of an air/fuel mixture provided to the cylinders. In compression-ignition engines, compression in the cylinders combusts the air/fuel mixture provided to the cylinders. Spark timing and air flow may be the primary mechanisms for adjusting the torque output of spark-ignition engines, while fuel flow may be the primary mechanism for adjusting the torque output of compression-ignition engines.
Exhaust gas passing through an exhaust system may include particulate matter. Exhaust components, such as particulate filters, have been developed to filter the particulate matter. These components, however, increase the cost and mass of a vehicle.
A system described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,989,989 (hereinafter “the '989 patent”), the description of which is incorporated herein in its entirety, describes a system that includes a temperature estimation module and a fuel control module. The temperature estimation module estimates a piston temperature associated with a cylinder based on engine operating conditions. The fuel control module controls an injection timing associated with the cylinder, an injection pressure associated with a cylinder, an injection location associated with a cylinder, or a number of injections per engine cycle associated with the cylinder based on the estimated piston temperature.

Lesson: How Internal Combustion Engines Work

Introduction:
Internal combustion engines are a type of engine that generates power by burning fuel and air inside the engine's cylinders. These engines are used in many vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and boats. In this lesson, we will learn how internal combustion engines work and how they produce power.

Section 1: Overview of Internal Combustion Engines

Topic 1.1: How Internal Combustion Engines Produce Power
Internal combustion engines produce power by burning fuel and air inside the engine's cylinders. The pistons move up and down inside the cylinders, and as they do so, they turn a shaft that connects to the engine's transmission. This shaft transmits power to the wheels or propeller of the vehicle.

Topic 1.2: Components of Internal Combustion Engines
Internal combustion engines consist of several components that work together to produce power. These components include the cylinders, pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, camshaft, intake and exhaust valves, spark plugs, and fuel injection system.

Section 2: The Combustion Process

Topic 2.1: Spark Ignition Engines
In spark-ignition engines, the air and fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug. The spark plug creates a small explosion in the cylinder, which pushes the piston down and creates power. The amount of air and fuel in the mixture determines how much power is produced.

Topic 2.2: Compression Ignition Engines
In compression ignition engines, also known as diesel engines, the air and fuel mixture is compressed until it gets hot enough to ignite on its own. Then, a spark plug is used to ignite the mixture, creating power. Diesel engines produce more power than spark-ignition engines because they use a higher compression ratio.

Section 3: Controlling the Engine

Topic 3.1: Throttle Valve
The throttle valve controls the amount of air that enters the engine. By adjusting the throttle area, the driver can control how much air flows into the engine and how much power is produced.

Topic 3.2: Fuel Control System
The fuel control system adjusts the amount of fuel that is injected into the engine. By controlling the amount of fuel, the system can provide the correct air/fuel mixture to the cylinders and achieve the desired torque output.

Glossary:
- Cylinder: A chamber in the engine where combustion takes place.
- Piston: A movable component inside the cylinder that converts linear motion into rotational motion.
- Connecting rod: A rod that connects the piston to the crankshaft.
- Crankshaft: A shaft that converts the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion.
- Camshaft: A shaft that controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves.
- Spark plug: A device that creates a small explosion in the cylinder to ignite the air and fuel mixture.
- Fuel injection system: A system that injects fuel into the engine's cylinders.

Conclusion:
Understanding how internal combustion engines work is important for anyone interested in vehicles or engineering. By learning about the components and processes involved in producing power, we can better understand how these engines work and how they can be improved.

text: Details Jonathan Hänel. Jonathan Hänel. Jonathan is investigating thermoelectricity - the interdependence of an electric field and a temperature gradient in a solid - of strongly correlated electron systems. Thermoelectricity can be used for enviromental-friendly energy harvesting from (waste) heat and, from a fundamental point of view, to probe electron organization in solids, especially if the electrons are strongly correlated. The measurement of the Seebeck and Nernst effect is technically challenging and therefore one of the main tasks is to build a new measurement setup for a dilution refrigerator to be used at low temperatures down to 50 mK and in magnetic fields up to 16 T. With this setup newly grown single crystals of strongly correlated materials are to be measured. The results are expected to advance the understanding of interesting phenomena in these compounds, like Kondo insulation or quantum criticality.

Lesson: How to Create a Mission Statement

### Section 1: Introduction
A mission statement is a short paragraph that explains the purpose and goals of an organization. It is a fundamental tool that helps organizations stay focused on their long-term vision and guides them towards making decisions that align with their values. In this lesson, we will learn how to create a mission statement by following these steps:

1. Identify the ultimate truth: The first step in creating a mission statement is to identify the ultimate truth that guides your organization. This could be a belief, a value, or a principle that you hold dear. For example, if your organization is based on the principles of honesty and integrity, then your ultimate truth could be "Honesty is the best policy."

2. Determine your organization's purpose: Once you have identified your ultimate truth, you need to determine what your organization exists to do. This involves understanding your organization's reason for being and what it hopes to achieve. For example, if your organization exists to provide superior communication services, then its purpose could be "To provide superior communication services to our clients."

3. Define your target audience: The next step is to define your target audience, which is the group of people you want to serve with your products or services. For example, if your organization is a radio station, your target audience could be people who love music and enjoy listening to the radio.

TfL's 'refusal on funds has delayed bridge'

Hard slog: work on Albert Bridge should have finished this summer but the new completion date is set for December

Transport for London was today accused of holding back funds for work on the restoration of Albert Bridge.

Kensington and Chelsea council officials say TfL refused to pay for staff to work longer hours on the project which has closed the bridge to traffic for 18 months and caused major travel disruption.

Deputy leader Nicholas Paget-Brown said severe weather last winter and worse than expected corrosion had set it back, adding: "We are working around the clock to get the bridge completed as soon as possible.

"Last year the council asked TfL if they would pay towards longer working hours on the bridge but they declined to do so."

But Garrett Emmerson, chief operating officer for surface transport at TfL, blamed the council, saying: "We are urging the council to work longer hours but there are issues with residents and noise. We are pushing them to get this work done."

TfL provides 75 per cent of funding for the work which had been due to be completed this summer. The finishing date has been pushed back to December.

Lesson: Understanding Government Budgets and Taxes

Introduction:
Governments at all levels (local, state, and federal) create budgets to allocate resources and determine how much money they will collect in taxes. In this lesson, we will learn about government budgets and taxes and how they impact our daily lives.

Section 1: What is a Government Budget?

A government budget is a plan that shows how much money the government expects to receive and spend over a certain period of time. It includes revenue sources like taxes, fees, and grants, as well as expenditures such as salaries, benefits, and infrastructure projects.

Section 2: Types of Taxes

There are several types of taxes that governments use to fund their operations:

1. Income Tax: A tax on income earned by individuals or businesses.
2. Sales Tax: A tax added to purchases of goods and services.
3. Property Tax: A tax on the value of land and buildings.
4. Excise Tax: A tax on specific items like alcohol, tobacco, and gasoline.

Section 3: How do Taxes affect us?

Taxes are necessary for the government to provide essential services like roads, schools, and public safety. However, they can also impact our daily lives in various ways:

1. Inflation: When governments increase taxes, it can lead to inflation, which means that prices for goods and services go up.
2. Jobs: High taxes can make it difficult for businesses to operate, leading to fewer job opportunities.
3. Services: If the government does not collect enough taxes, it may not be able to provide essential services.

Section 4: Analyzing a Budget

To analyze a government budget, we need to look at the revenue sources and expenditures. We can ask questions like:

1. Are the revenues enough to cover the expenses?
2. Are there any areas where spending is higher than expected?
3. Are there any programs that could be cut to reduce the budget deficit?

Section 5: Conclusion

Understanding government budgets and taxes is important because it helps us understand how our government operates and how our tax dollars are being spent. By analyzing a budget, we can identify areas where spending could be reduced or programs that could be improved. Ultimately, this knowledge empowers us to make informed decisions and participate in the democratic process.

Glossary:
- Budget: A plan that shows how much money the government expects to receive and spend over a certain period of time.
- Revenue: Money received by the government from taxes, fees, and grants.
- Expenditure: Money spent by the government on salaries, benefits, and infrastructure projects.
- Tax: A compulsory contribution to state revenue, usually based on income or consumption.

Self-Debating Discussion:

1. How does the government decide how much money to spend and how much to collect in taxes?
2. Do you think the government should increase taxes to provide more services, or decrease taxes to give people more money to spend? Why?
3. Can you think of any examples where taxes have positively or negatively impacted your life?

LANSING — The Michigan Film Office announced Thursday the television pilot for “Low Winter Sun” has been approved for a film incentive from the state.

The story is set in Detroit and starts with a crime that will alter a Detroit detective’s life forever. The project is expected to shoot throughout metro Detroit early this fall.

“Low Winter Sun” is an adaptation of the award-winning Endemol scripted British miniseries and is a co-production between Endemol Studios and AMC Studios. Chris Mundy (Criminal Minds, Cold Case) wrote the pilot and serves as show runner and executive producer.

“This is a high profile project that brings with it the possibility of securing a television series that takes place and is shot here in Michigan,” said Carrie Jones, director of the Michigan Film Office. “Series like this provide long-term work for our crew and this one in particular would provide ample opportunities to showcase landmarks throughout metro Detroit to a national audience.”

The project was awarded an incentive of $1,344,412 and expects to hire 124 Michigan workers with a full time equivalent of 23 jobs.

The pilot is slated to be delivered to AMC for consideration in its line-up of shows that already includes Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels and The Walking Dead.

To date in 2012, six projects have been awarded a total of $16,117,583 on $54,928,454 of approved production expenditures for the year. These projects are expected to create 849 Michigan hires with a full time equivalent of 238 jobs.

The Michigan Economic Development Corp. Film Review Committee, comprised of senior MEDC staff including the Michigan Film Commissioner, reviews all completed applications.

Using the statute to guide approval decisions, preference is given to projects that best meet the following criteria:
* The production is financially viable.
* Utilization of existing infrastructure (studios, post-production facilities, equipment rental, etc.).
* The number and wage levels of direct jobs for Michigan residents created by a production.
* Ability to show Michigan in a positive light and promote the state as a tourist destination.
* Magnitude of estimated expenditures in Michigan.

The Michigan Film Office was created in 1979 to assist and attract incoming production companies and promote the growth of Michigan’s own film industry. The Film Office also administers the incentive program for film, television and other digital media production in Michigan.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to saddle riding vehicles.
2. Discussion of the Background
Motorcycles have engine sections disposed at downward portions thereof. Typically, such a motorcycle is structured to protect the engine with a cover member as appropriately. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 2006-027397 discloses an under cover structure for a motorcycle including a horizontal cylinder and an exhaust pipe extending rearwardly from a lower portion of the engine. The structure includes an under cover disposed so as to cover an area downward of the engine and a front portion of the exhaust pipe and a mud cover covering a front surface of the engine. This structure can protect the lower portion of the engine and the front portion of the exhaust pipe from splashing mud and flying gravel.
Some other motorcycles include exhaust gas purification devices. One type of such an exhaust gas purification device is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 2005-240711. Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 2005-240711 discloses an engine exhaust gas purification device, in which a catalytic device is connected to an exhaust port, the catalyst includes an exhaust gas introducing section oriented substantially at right angles, and a catalyst case is connected immediately below the exhaust gas introducing section. Such a structure allows the catalyst to be quickly activated during cold starting and an exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust port to be blown perpendicularly against a wall of the exhaust gas introducing section. The exhaust gas can thereby be inhibited from flowing along an outside of a pipe, so that a uniform flow of the gas can be ensured relative to the catalyst.

In this lesson, we will learn about technical specifications in lighting equipment, specifically low-pressure HO lamps. We will explore the different aspects of these lamps, such as their power rating, manufacturing standards, and performance characteristics. By understanding these specifications, we can make informed decisions when purchasing lighting equipment for our homes or workplaces.

Section 1: Power Rating
Power rating is an essential specification to consider when purchasing lighting equipment. Low-pressure HO lamps come in different wattages, ranging from 80W to 120W. The higher the wattage, the brighter the light output. However, higher wattage also means higher energy consumption, which can lead to higher electricity bills. Therefore, it is crucial to find a balance between light output and energy efficiency.

Questions:
- What does "wattage" mean in the context of lighting equipment?
- How does the wattage of a lamp affect its light output?
- What are the benefits and drawbacks of using a high-wattage lamp?

Section 2: Manufacturing Standards
Manufacturing standards are another essential aspect of lighting equipment. A high-quality lamp should adhere to strict manufacturing standards to ensure consistency in performance and longevity. Cosmedico, a reputable lighting equipment manufacturer, meets all the necessary manufacturing standards, making their lamps reliable and consistent in performance.

Questions:
- What are manufacturing standards, and why are they important in lighting equipment?
- How does Cosmedico ensure that their lamps meet these standards?
- What are the consequences of using a lamp that does not meet manufacturing standards?

Section 3: Performance Characteristics
Performance characteristics refer to the specific features that make a lamp suitable for a particular application. These characteristics include color rendering index (CRI), color temperature, and light output. A high-quality lamp should have a high CRI, which measures how accurately the lamp reproduces colors. It should also have a high color temperature, which affects the warmth or coolness of the light. Finally, the light output should be sufficient for the intended application.

Questions:
- What is the color rendering index (CRI) and why is it important in lighting equipment?
- How does color temperature affect the appearance of objects illuminated by a lamp?
- What is light output, and how is it measured?

Conclusion:
Understanding technical specifications in lighting equipment is crucial when purchasing lamps for our homes or workplaces. By considering power rating, manufacturing standards, and performance characteristics, we can make informed decisions and choose the best lamp for our needs. By applying these concepts, we can ensure that our lighting equipment meets our requirements and provides optimal performance for years to come.

This is by far the best, most efficiently designed fridge I have ever had. I've had a side by side, a side by side counter depth and a regular counter depth. This fridge, at ~22 cu ft, fits more food and is easier to organize and find things than ANY other fridge I have had. I was nervous about the side and shorter/counter depth. No problem whatsoever. The only small complaint I have is that I wish the veggie drawer was deeper (I buy packaged lettuce in plastic crates and just 1 consumes most of the drawer). The freezer is well organized and easy to find things. I like the sliding drawers, very flexible. My only small complaint is that the larger/deeper drawer at the bottom which goes all the way across the freezer has a fixed plastic divider in the middle that cannot be moved. It makes it more difficult to fit larger/bulker items. Very bright inside, well lit.

We are fairyly happy with our new applicances, but are disappointed with the stainless steel finish on them. We were lead to understand KitchenAid had a better finish that didn't show the marks as easily. However we are finding it quite difficult to keep them looking good. Haven't found a product to do the job yet.

Got a great deal on this refrigerator and were excited to purchase a model that usually would have been beyond our price range. However, after using the refrigerator for 9 months now, it's just been average. It works, has a couple cool features, like the door alarm and slide-out freezer tray but the usability is quite poor. The ice bucket scoop is on the left hand side and the handle points left, meaning you can't grab it with your right hand unless you cross your arms over. Also, if the right door is closed first, the left door will often bang into the edge of the right door and prevent you from closing the refrigerator unless you open the right door, close the left door and then close the right door again.

In the 20 months since I've purchased this product, the P trap failed causing water to leak onto my newly refinished hardwood floor and then the ice cube maker failed likely due to a faulty thermostat. Of course, the warranty is only good for 12 months, which should tell you something about KitchenAid's confidence in their product.

We bought this style to replace a side by side after a remodel, the ability to prepare and store large platters was a primary objective. The shelves are easily rearranged, or taken out for cleaning. The counter depth looks great in the kitchen. We had added the Pro Line gas stove during the remodel and the refrigerator really added to the finished look of the kitchen. The French door style puts vegetables and deli items at a more convenient height. The large storage space in the doors put more of the refrigerated items within easy access. The layout of the freezer holds far more than I thought it would.

We bought this a month ago to replace an aging Sub-Zero built-in with the same Cu. Ft. Storage area. The organization of the space in the new Kitchen-Aid is much better, so it feels as if it is bigger. We love the freezer compartment organization, and also the internal filtered water dispenser that takes up no space.

I purchased this refrig in May '13. Despite adjusting the temp controls, the items in toward the back of the first and second shelves are always getting frozen. Also, the doors don't shut and stay shut unless I close the doors pretty hard then make sure they are both pressed shut. The last two french door refrigerators I used (Jenn-Air and GE Monogram) would simply swing shut then sort of suction themselves closed with a tight seal. Not this thing. It was by no means the cheapest of the stainless French-Door refrigerators of this size. I would not buy it again.

I initially really liked this refrigerator. It has plenty of space, is well organized, bright, etc. After about 6 months, we started having trouble. Food started to freeze, even at the suggested temperature setting. And, we noticed brown spots starting to show up on the front of the refrigerator near the handles. This turned out to be corrosion. We called Kitchenaid to get service. They are fixing the temperature issue now, but said there is no warranty or repair for the exterior finish. They offered to send some stainless 'brightener.' I have only used stainless cleaner or polish on this unit. My only conclusion is that this unit has seriously inferior stainless. I installed other stainless appliances at the same time (Thermador, Bosch) and those all still look great. I guess I would say, use caution.

Extreme delta brush in a patient with anti-NMDAR encephalitis.
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is a severe, potentially treatable, disorder and prognosis depends on early recognition and prompt immunotherapy. We report a case of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis with atypical age and gender, and a characteristic electroencephalographic pattern that supported the diagnosis. A 66-year-old male presented with psychiatric disturbances and focal seizures with alteration of consciousness, and progressed to a state of akinetic mutism. Auxiliary tests were negative or non-specific for anti-NMDAR encephalitis. Electroencephalographic monitoring revealed a unique pattern; the extreme delta brush. The patient improved with immunotherapy and was asymptomatic at six months of follow-up. Ancillary testing was positive for anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibodies. Extreme delta brush is a recently described electroencephalographic pattern presenting in only one third of patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis. The identification of this pattern, as in our case, may guide early diagnosis and treatment of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis.

Lesson Title: Anti-NMDAR Encephalitis: A Rare Causes of Seizures and Akinetic Mutism

Introduction:
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is a rare autoimmune disorder that affects the brain. It is characterized by seizures, altered consciousness, and akinetic mutism. Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial for a good prognosis. In this lesson, we will learn about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of anti-NMDAR encephalitis.

Section 1: Symptoms and Diagnosis
- Anti-NMDAR encephalitis can present with various symptoms, including seizures, psychiatric disturbances, and akinetic mutism.
- The disorder is often misdiagnosed as other neurological conditions due to its atypical presentation.
- Electroencephalographic monitoring can reveal a unique pattern called the "extreme delta brush," which can support the diagnosis.
- Ancillary testing, such as antibody testing, can confirm the presence of anti-NMDAR antibodies.

Section 2: Treatment
- The primary treatment for anti-NMDAR encephalitis is immunotherapy, which involves the use of medications to suppress the immune system.
- Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial for a good prognosis.
- In some cases, additional treatments may be necessary to manage specific symptoms or complications.

Section 3: Real-World Examples
- Consider a patient who presents with seizures, psychiatric disturbances, and akinetic mutism.
- Electroencephalographic monitoring reveals an extreme delta brush pattern.
- Ancillary testing confirms the presence of anti-NMDAR antibodies.
- The patient is treated with immunotherapy and shows significant improvement within weeks.

Conclusion:
Anti-NMDAR encephalitis is a rare but treatable disorder that can present with seizures, psychiatric disturbances, and akinetic mutism. Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial for a good prognosis. Electroencephalographic monitoring can reveal a unique pattern called the extreme delta brush, which can support the diagnosis. Ancillary testing can confirm the presence of anti-NMDAR antibodies. Immunotherapy is the primary treatment for this disorder. By understanding the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of anti-NMDAR encephalitis, we can better recognize and manage this condition in our patients.
