5/29/2023 0 Comments Female chimpanzee![]() ![]() In trees, chimpanzees may move by swinging from their arms, in a form of brachiation. This hand morphology allows chimpanzees to use their hands as “hooks” while climbing, without interference from the thumb. Chimpanzees have very long hands and fingers, with short thumbs. Legs are shorter than are the arms, which allows these animals to walk on all fours with the anterior portion of the body higher than the posterior. The arms are long, such that the spread of the arms is 1.5 times the height of an individual. Some of the differences seen between captive chimps and wild chimps may be due to subspecific differences in size. Although data from individual subspecies are not available, it appears that P. In captivity individuals typically attain greater weights, with the top weight reaching 80 kg for males and 68 kg for females. In the wild, males weigh between 34 and 70 kg, whereas females are slightly smaller, weighing between 26 and 50 kg. When standing erect, they are 1 to 1.7 m tall. Range elevation 0 to 2,750 m 0.00 to ftĪdult chimpanzees have a head and body length ranging between 635 and 925 mm.Some populations are known to inhabit primarily savanna habitat. Although they are typically thought of as living in tropical rainforests, they are also found in forest-savanna mosaic environments, as well as in montain forests at elevations up to 2,750 m. ( Nowak, 1999)Ĭhimpanzees utilize a great diversity of habitat types. In the far eastern portion of the range, from the northwestern corner of Zaire into western Uganda and Tanzania, P. troglodytes troglodytes inhabits forested regions. From the Niger river to Congo, in the central portion of the range, P. Pan troglodytes verus occurs in the western portions of the range, from Gambia to the Niger river. There are three recognized subspecies of common chimpanzee. They are found from Gambia in the west to Uganda in the east, excluding the region bordered by the Congo and Lualaba rivers in central Zaire (Congo) where their sister species, bonobos ( Pan paniscus), are found. They are distributed from about 10 degrees N to 8 degrees S, and from 15 degrees W to 32 degrees E. A common hypothesis is that females use such calls to advertise to prospective males they are ready to mate, which in turn incites competition that leads to the strongest partner and highest quality offspring.Chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes) inhabit the tropical forests of central Africa. Researchers have long been interested in mating calls of different animals, especially primates. The findings show that chimps - our closest living relatives - can use their calls flexibly in response to social factors while knowing more about the apes could help in conservation efforts, he added. “If you confuse paternity, they are more likely to provide that female with future support.” ![]() “They are trying to make the high-ranking males think they are the father,” said Simon Townsend, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of St. The study of chimp copulation calls also found that females seem more concerned with having sex with as many mates as possible rather than just finding the strongest male as a way to confuse paternity and secure future protection for offspring. ![]()

5/29/2023 0 Comments Affinity designer eraser tool![]() ![]() Why? Developing stable, bug-free apps takes a lot of time. I will definitely let them know my thoughts in my reviews of their apps and maybe we should take it to social media, I think the only way they might listen is if they realize their lack of attention to their current users is causing them to not bring new users because we're talking about how they lag behind in basic expected features, it's only fair that potential newcomers are warned about what to expect from Serif. Hopefully one day soon, they'll start to listen. So I would encourage you to "fight the good fight" and continue to press forward to speak your might loudly in these forums. If folks start abandoning Affinity apps, then nothing better will come. Yes, you really can be upset with Serif yet support them at the same time. Yet, I am still opening to moving forward with them. What I am not fine with is endless waiting in vain. And if the right thing involves a different paid app, so long as it has most of what we've been asking for through the years, I'm fine with it. I can only hope their owner will do the right thing before it's too late. I am not an insider so my words have no impact on their company. We need to see that somebody in their company finally stood up and said to the engineers, "Enough is enough, you idiots! From today, we're going to do something great!" Seriously, they need a Steve Jobsian style tongue lashing from within. They just need to show us they are not only listening but acting on what they hear. The ball is in their court to obliterate all criticism from me and other faithful users. I am one of their biggest fans and biggest critics. They need a firm kick on the pants, let me tell you. I've been in this forum FOR YEARS and ignored most of that time, yet I stubbornly refuse to give up on Serif. Well, count me out of the paid updates then □ĭon't give up so easily. I just wish Serif could make me love them more. And I say all this while still loving my Affinity apps. That isn't going to happen without major feature additions and meaningful updates. I came here several years ago in hopes the Affinity suit could unseat Adobe. But letting the apps languish with minor updates is disheartening to say the least. If they came to us and said, we need to charge for an updated version to bring you all you've been requesting, most of us would jump in a heartbeat. If Serif would just respond, that's really all we ask. But in terms of the feature roadmap, there's little they can do. ![]() Sometimes the replies in this forum from members with mega-posts to their name can be helpful. I might have put too much faith in Affinity. ![]() In this case this thread from 2017, saying it's in the roadmap, another thread says the roadmap was deleted. Seems every time I search for something Affinity related, I always find the first result to be a thread about it from a few to several years old saying it's not available or coming soon (but it never did come). ![]() ![]() ![]() DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU'VE FINISHED THE GAME OR DON'T CARE ABOUT SPOILERS.) (SO MANY SPOILERS THAT I'M NOT GOING TO MARK THEM. I reckon this has to be the biggest chapter of the three by a good margin. ![]() There will be a lot of decisions, both personal and political. What else will be going on? This has to be the chapter where Kayto Shields finally moves a romance or two into full gear. Right down to special surgery to make those heart images appear in her eyes. I'd find it hilarious if Claude was actually a sophisticated spy who's been acting like a bimbo all along to get everyone to underestimate her. Icari could just be on the take but I really doubt it. Not intending to betray them to Arcadius, and a bit doubtful about what she's doing, but a good soldier obeying orders.Īva is out of the question, Asaga pretty much too. Kryska could be sending info to some sort of Alliance superiors who could turn out to be Arcadius-owned. But again, probably not with her knowledge IMO. In a similar vein, Sola could be bugged or something, a deliberate plant of some sort, because of the weird stuff with the cold sleep only being a couple months. But there might be some kind of twin-resonance-thing, where she gives away data somehow just by existing, like the Arcadiuses can sense where she is because she's their clone. If she had been, she wouldn't have been giving Kayto all those clues, like about Arcadius feeling familiar and haunting her and stuff, or obsessing about the odd nature of the black hole disaster. In smaller issues, who's the spy on the Sunrider? (Is it even consciously a spy?) I think it's pretty clear Chigara isn't a spy, at least deliberately. Where else will they crop up? Will Arcadiuses try to resurrect the New Empire? Do they have the Admiral? Or, are they influential in the wimpy political party? Or both? Will the Sunrider now have to fight the Alliance, or part of it? Meanwhile, gotta figure Arcadiuses have influence in the Solar Alliance. 2, huh? Because our heroes could end up fighting for Fontana's side of PACT against Arcadius-controlled pieces. Since Fontana holds the Legion now, maybe it's OK if you don't kill it in ch. But Arcadius(es) may retain control of part of it, leading to some kind of civil war in PACT. main impression of original PACT ideals is it was some kind of socialist revolution against the exploitative upper crust, which is fine by me although YMMV. So that means PACT will now be ambiguous at worst. Arcadius says his clones control lots of stuff galaxy-wide cuz there are hundreds of them and they're all superior and stuff. Fabulous Fontana staged a coup to rescue the original ideals of PACT from Arcadius. ![]() So, the plot's going to look a bit different in chapter 3, right? I mean, it's not simply PACT vs. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Green ember quotes![]() It is both a call to action, to war, and a message of hope. The heroic actions at the end of the first book are chronicled and used to rally the rabbits to the cause of reclaiming their lost kingdom. This is part of a verse that is from a tale within the tale. Healing is on the horizon, but a fire comes first. He thought less of how he worked to serve … and more about what he accomplished.” This is from an older rabbit speaking to a family member who is questioning why another family member turned out to be a traitor and is followed up with this: “He began to think less about the grand cause and more about his place in it. Sometimes I think we’re all bad, when we focus on our own place. That third rabbit was certainly a liar but happened to be speaking the truth this time, which, if anything, made him all the more dangerous. This is a more experienced and knowledgeable, though not really older, rabbit speaking to a more sheltered, ignorant one trying to convince him to not trust a liar. I love this quote, but it’s interesting going back and reading the context to discover that the speaker was somewhat wrong in this instance. You can choose what you believe, Shuffler, but you can’t change what’s true. This quote is from the target of that anger to the first rabbit and is preceded by this: “‘Picket,’ he said quietly, ‘stay angry. One rabbit was angry, probably rightfully so, but angry at the wrong rabbit. If you aren’t angry about the wicked things happening in the world all around, then you don’t have a soul. “I regret many things that I’ve done, … but most of all I regret those moments when I said to Fear, ‘You are my master.'” This was from a father speaking to his nearly grown children and is a follow-up to another great quote that I did not, for whatever reason, copy down in my commonplace book. It’s only that, when you’re older, you hand out wisdom to your children like you know everything, but it is sometimes hard to follow your own advice. Here are those five quotes with a brief explanation of their original context. ![]() I don’t think this new context perverts their original meaning, but it’s worth noting that it is not the context in which the words were originally written (or read by me). I don’t know about the one-year-old, but the rest of us, from six to forty years old, are thoroughly enjoying it.)įive months later, I went back and re-read those quotes out of the original context and in the context of the current events of 2020 and was impacted again by those words. We’ve started reading it together as a family after I finished it on my own. ( The Green Ember series is a children’s fantasy story about rabbits. Smith’s The Green Ember series and transcribed five quotes from them in my commonplace book. ![]() Back in January of this year (2020), I read the first two books of S.D. If something I encounter causes me to pause for whatever reason, I try to record it in that notebook.

After "Attention" is sounded, civilians are expected to stop and stand respectfully still, or if driving, come to a complete stop if it is safe to do so. Approximately five minutes before colors, the word is passed, “First call, first call to colors.” At 0800 or sunset, “Attention” is sounded on the bugle or one blast is blown on a police whistle. Morning and evening colors occur at 0800 and sunset respectively. This process can be a bit intimidating at first but remember, they are there to keep you and the Navy team safe.

Cardiac dysfunction is often silent in diabetic patients and not detected until later stages. This unique disease entity is presented as left ventricular dysfunction, independent of atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, or hypertension. In conclusion, these studies show that cardiomyocyte MyD88 plays an apathogenetic role in DCM and Sch B specifically targets MyD88 to reduce inflammatory DCM.ĭiabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a prevalent diabetes-induced secondary complication that leads to heart failure. Cardiomyocyte-specific MyD88 knockout also protects mice against cardiac inflammation and injury in type 1 diabetic mice. Treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetic mice with Sch B protects heart function, reduces myocardial injuries, and decreases secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Inhibiting or silencing MyD88 is associated with reduced levels of HG-induced inflammatory cytokines and myocardial injuries in vitro. Further studies indicate that Sch B directly binds to and inhibits MyD88 activation, but does not alter MyD88-independent Toll-like receptor signaling in vivo and in vitro. RNA sequencing and inflammatory qPCR microarray show that Sch B mainly affects myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88)-dependent inflammatory gene expression in HG-challenged cardiomyocytes. It is shown that Sch B prevents high-level glucose (HG)-induced hypertrophic and fibrotic responses in cultured cardiomyocytes. ![]() In this study, the authors explore the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of Schisandrin B (Sch B), a natural compound with anti-inflammatory activity against DCM. Targeting key proteins in inflammatory signaling may provide new therapy for DCM. ![]() Diabetes manifests as chronic inflammation and leads to the development diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Card game simulator betting![]() ![]() If at any point during the round the pot becomes empty, the round ends and a new round begins. If a player's wealth becomes zero, the player quits the game. If the player wins, the player receives the amount of money bet from the pot otherwise, the player contributes the amount of money bet to the pot. Assuming that the second card is an ace, it is automatically declared “high.” After the two cards are dealt to a player, the player bets an amount of money, ranging from 0 to the pot amount, that the third card dealt will be strictly between the two already dealt cards (which we designate as event ). Assuming that the first card is an ace, the player must declare it “low” (of value 1) or “high” (of value 14). Subsequently, each player is dealt two cards, one at a time, face up. In the beginning of the round, every player contributes a fixed amount of money (henceforth assumed to be equal to 1), known as the “ante,” to the pot in order to play. Aces can be associated with either 1 or 14, subject to further rules stated below. The cards from 2 to 10 are associated with their face values, while Jack, Queen, and King with the values 11, 12, and 13, respectively. The game is played in rounds and with a standard deck of 52 cards. From this point of view, Betweenies make a particularly interesting case study for KC. This feature can actually lead to ruin even if this strategy is followed. As we will throught see below, however, the set of rules of this particular game does not fall within the scope of the general case considered in, in view of the fact that the player needs to contribute an amount of money in the beginning of each round for the right to play in this round. KC is famous for suggesting an optimal betting strategy which, at the same time, eliminates the possibility of the gambler getting ruined. In this work we calculate the probabilities associated with the game, namely, the probability that a given hand is dealt and the probability of winning given the hand dealt, and we suggest a betting strategy based on Kelly's criterion (KC). Though the exact rules vary, the main concept is that the player is dealt two cards and bets on whether the value of a third card dealt about to be dealt will be between the values of the two previously dealt cards. ![]() The card game of “(In-)Betweenies” or “In-Between” is also known under many alternative names including “Between the Sheets“, “Red Dog”, “Acey Deucey”, and “Yablon.” It comes in many variants and is offered as a gaming option in several casinos and online casinos. We also provide some gameplay simulations. Issues, and analyze the strategies it suggests. Afterĭiscussing the shortcomings of the direct approach, we introduce an information-theoretic technique, Kelly'sĬriterion, which basically maximizes the expected log-return of the bet: we offer an overview, discuss feasibility Present the exact rules of the two main versions of the game, and we study the optimal betting strategies. In the game of Betweenies, the player is dealt two cards out of a deck and bets on the probability that the third card to be dealt will have a numerical value in between the values of the first two cards. ![]() |
