    1. The intent behind the creation of an Annotation or the inclusion of a particular Body or Target is an important property and represented by a Motivation resource.

      When looking at annotation as an engagement metric, it is important to understand the motivation of the person creating the annotation. This is anticipated in the model.

    1. The technical and theoretical details underlying clinical informatics are beyond the scope of this chapter. What follows is a concise introduction to topics and resources of general interest in this field, presented to help clinicians use information technology for the benefit of patient care.

    1. Geological models that aid in the understanding of buried valleys are a product of recent studies in the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) (e.g., Barnett et al. 1998; Sharpe et al. 2002a; Russell et al 2003a; Logan et al. 2005). This work has contributed an emerging robust geological framework, yet these data have not been analysed in the context of the Laurentian valley system and its evolution over time. In contrast, conceptual hydrogeological models that might provide a framework for Laurentian valley aquifers (Fig. 1) a

    1. This subset constituted 24% of the total frame, and was identified by Genesys Sampling Systems using a multiple regression model including covariates such as demographic variables, magazine subscription data, and data on purchasing behavior. According to Genesys Sampling Systems, the model is capable of identifying a subset of households with probability 0.6 of containing at least one age-eligible individual.

    1. In the 21st century, Pacific island countries (from herein PICs) continue to leverage for tourism the attributes that have imbued them, including appeals to their cultural, geographical, and climatic allure (Pratt & Harrison, 2015).

      Interesting.

    1. Buried valleys have been recognized as important components of the geology of southern Ontario (Fig. 1) from the time Spencer inferred that an ancient Laurentian river network may have helped form the Great Lakes (Spencer 1881, 1890). More than 100 years later, there is no clear idea of the form, geometry, and nature of the Laurentian valley system, nor of its sedimentary fill.

    1. It was found that the three new emerging districts (District 2, 9 and ThuDuc) are highly vulnerable to floods, but the local government still implements the plan for attracted investments in housing without an integrated flooding management. This is also in line with the development pattern of many coastal cities in Southeast Asia, as economic development can be seen as a driving factor.

    1. Social media networks provided immediate solutions to a few problems with those early blogging networks: they relieved the moderately heavy lift in getting started and they created the possibility of connections that were immediate, dense, and growing. But as those networks expanded, they both pulled authors away from their own domains — so much quicker to tweet than to blog, and with a much speedier potential response — and they privatized and scattered conversations.

    1. The default methodology when undertaking these predictive exercises is to assume the plants themselves are static entities. However, changes in weed distributions may often reflect evolutionary change in the plants themselves, and frequently correspond to anthropogenic influences such as cropping practices (Clements et al. 2004)

    1. I have the option to link the main link for the bookmark to the Hypothesis link for “all annotations” on the source, but I’m thinking most readers will want to go directly to the source to read more.

      Again, when I click what I think is a link to take me to "all annotations available in the source" or even to the source, all I get is a black framed version of this block quote. Really confusing...

    1. That is why one company, Schumacher Homes of Akron, Ohio, has a fresh new design on offer: a house with an open floor plan, with its kitchen, dining area, and living room all flowing into one another. But then, behind the first kitchen, lies another. A “messy” kitchen. There, the preparation for or remainders from a meal or party can be deposited for later cleanup, out-of-sight, out-of-mind.

    2. At every turn, IPython chose the way that was more inclusive, to the point where it’s no longer called “IPython”: The project rebranded itself as “Jupyter” in 2014 to recognize the fact that it was no longer just for Python.

      Such an interesting progression!

    1. The school additionally offered multiple programs that both supported students in the college application process and helped educate parents about the process.

      There was no mention of such programs at Capital. Did they not exist, I wonder? Or just not exist for the kids in the study?

    1. he odd result of this is that we have trending topics in networks like Twitter and Facebook, where the vast majority of updates are short and trivial, but we don’t have easily-explorable tags, hashtags or trending topics for articles and stories that are longer and more substantive.

      Another critical point.

    2. It’s striking that we likely have author information provided as metadata on the majority of articles published today, but almost none of our reading tools expose this information in useful ways, or let us search or explore using the metadata.

    1. Most scholars of hypertext of the time pointed to Vannevar Bush's 1945 article "As We May Think" as an important precursor to the Web and as providing important guidance for necessary development. Bush's model of hypertext was much richer than that of the early Web. Among other things, he envisioned people who would put together articles (or "trails") by finding a sequence of useful pages in different sources, annotating those pages, inserting a few pages of their own, and linking it all together. While the Web had "live links", those links were limited to the original authors of the text, so The Web provided essentially none of the features necessary for Bush's more collaborative model.

      Great summary.

    1. In 2008, Stephen Hawking, the renowned physicist who wrote A Brief History of Time, presided over the unveiling of a clockmaker’s monument to time. The Corpus Clock, created by the inventor and horologist John C. Taylor, does not look like a clock. Its shiny gold disk features 60 notches that radiate from its center. Lights race around the edges of the disc, and a spherical pendulum swings slowly beneath it.

      This clock is so strange--you won't be able to stop staring at it...

    1. While I was pregnant, I found out that women love to recount their birth experiences. It didn’t matter if it was a new mom I ran into at my doctor’s office or the grandmotherly cashier at the grocery store: Everyone had a birth story to share.

      Never tell another woman your birth story. It's not a competition. It's always the worst when it is happening to you. And if you had a good experience--shut up about that too.

    1. No one can say Sudan, a northern white rhino, didn’t live a full life. He was the subject of countless works of art. Famous actresses and heads of state traveled across the globe to meet him. He even had his own Tinder profile.

Indeed, perhaps the most obvious thing to send (though it’s a bit macabre) would just be whole cryonically preserved humans (and, yes, they should keep well at the temperature of interstellar space!). Of course, it’s ironic how similar this is to the Egyptian idea of making mummies—though our technology is better (even if we still haven’t yet solved the problem of cryonics).

      Interesting idea. This would tell aliens a lot about us.

    2. right now there are just four spacecraft outside our solar system (and another one that’s headed there), and there are under 100 spacecraft more-or-less intact on various planetary surfaces (not counting hard landings, melted spacecraft on Venus, etc.).

    1. Burdekin was born in 1896 in Derbyshire, England. Her parents wouldn’t allow her go to Oxford, as her brothers had, so she married an Olympic rower, had two daughters, immigrated to Australia, started writing, left her husband, and then returned to England. The 1930s were her most fecund creative period, when she wrote 13 novels, six of which were published.

Deletion of MrgprA3+ sensory neurons significantly inhibits itch behavior not only in acute itch conditions14, but also in chronic itch conditions13,15, demonstrating that this neuronal population is crucial for mediating itch sensation. However, whether the chronic itch response requires the activation of Mrgprs in MrgprA3+ neurons is unknown.

    1. The contemporary university is a strange chimaera. It has become an institution for teaching undergraduates, a lab for medical and technological development in partnership with industry, a hospital, a museum (or several), a performance hall, a radio station, a landowner, a big-money (or money-losing) sports club, a research center competing for government funding, often the biggest employer for a hundred miles around, and, for a few institutions, a hedge fund (“with a small college attached for tax purposes,” adds one wag).

      "ponied up" is the official term?

    1. Peer review prior to data collection and analysis is tasked with suggesting improvements to problems in study methodology. This enables authors to improve their study design. Subject to an in-principle acceptance, authors will be able to conduct their research in the knowledge that their research will be published, regardless of the results, and with the confidence that their study methodology has been independently reviewed. This new approach will also offer authors the flexibility to analyze and report unexpected findings.

      Wouldn't annotation be a great way to get feedback on these results?

    1. Today, scientists' success often isn't measured by the quality of their questions or the rigor of their methods. It's instead measured by how much grant money they win, the number of studies they publish, and how they spin their findings to appeal to the public.

    1. Compared to 2005, in 2012, the PR principle failed to track sectoral CO2 flow, and embodied CO2 in import and interprovincial export increased, with manufacturing contributing the most; manufacturing should take more carbon responsibilities in the internal linkage, and tertiary sectors in the net forward and backward linkage, with sectors enjoying low carbonization in the mixed linkage; inward net CO2 flows of manufacturing and service sectors were more complicated than their outward ones in terms of involved sectors and economic drivers; and residential effects on CO2 emissions of traditional sectors increased, urban effects remained larger than rural ones and manufacturing and tertiary sectors received the largest residential effects.

    1. Modulating these many pathways requires alteration of expression of a diverse array of genes, which takes place via the coordinated action of various stress-responsive transcription factors as well as chromatin-associated factors. While there is some understanding regarding the role of transcription factors, enzymes catalyzing covalent histone modifications and chromatin remodeling complexes in responses to various abiotic stresses in plants (Sahoo et al., 2013; Kim et al., 2015), the role of histone chaperones in stress response remains enigmatic

    1. Indeed, part of what sets Coates apart from other journalists or public intellectuals is that he tells his audience that historians’ works need to be consulted if they want to understand American history. Like any good high-school math student, Coates shows his work, illustrating which history books lead him to his conclusions.

      This would seem like a no brainer to me. We should demand it of journalists and public intellectuals.

    1. Donohue syndrome and Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome usually have homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the IR gene, and patients with these diseases have severe insulin resistance together with various symptoms, such as growth retardation, occasional hypoglycemia from infancy, intrauterine growth retardation, and low birth weight [3–6]

      Not sure this is a wide-ranging trend.
