From the Word web dictionary:     Study: Consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to   discover essential features or meaning   Particularly, I am looking for a word (synonym of 'study') which describes reading the research literature thoroughly (e.g. in order to review it), and getting the most out of it.   Actually I am writing a proposal for a software application to search and read research literature. So I want to say that it will be designed and optimized in a way that you can get the most out of reading the research articles (because of features like highlighting terms of interest, e.g. highlighting all names of cars in an article about different automobile manufacturers).  So I want a word used in this kind of meaning/context. Any suggestions are welcome.    Edit: I just applied bold format to the part of the question which describes why it is different from the other question, i.e. a part of my question is that the word/phrase should describe that there are features available to get the most out of the reading experience.
Sometimes we read books rather quickly and don't give them much (or any) thought, so the action 'reading' does not necessarily imply that we have given enough thoughts to any book we read.   Is there a word that describes reading a book with great care; usually but necessarily slowly over a long period of time.
How to prove that any idempotent matrix is diagonalizable? How does Java's PreparedStatement work? I am planning to replace repeatedly executed Statement objects with PreparedStatement objects to improve performance. I am using arguments like the MySQL function now(), and string variables.   Most of the PreparedStatement queries I have seen contained constant values (like 10, and strings like "New York") as arguments used for the ? in the queries. How would I go about using functions like now(), and variables as arguments? Is it necessary to use the ?s in the queries instead of actual values? I am quite confounded. I am using Ubuntu 16.04, with Gnome 3.18. Using extensions I have gotten rid of the dash panel and only use the Applications Menu in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. (I don't have Unity.) What I can't figure out is how do you add a new program, move software around to different categories, and create new categories?  Also, any keyboard shortcut to access the Applications Menu? In reading about the  protocol I noticed how much its proofs-of-work apparently depend on  of the SHA-256 hash function. And so  presumably do many other applications.  How do researchers go about proving uniformity of proposed hash functions? Is it just an empirical matter of running many inputs through the function and observing the distribution of outputs, or can one formally prove the property? Where could one (non-crypto-expert) learn about how such proofs are constructed and look one up e.g. for the case of SHA-256? Showing OSM source acknowledgment on the map in QGIS? I am using OpenStreetMap as a base layer via XYZ tiles in QGIS 3.01.  I can't seem to find a way of having source acknowledgement appear on the lower right corner of the map.  Can somebody point me in the right direction? Software was blocked from opening because it is not from an identified developer I went to run LibreOffice on my OS X 10.9 and it would not let me install it. It said it was from an unidentified developer. I'm aware of the security features of the Mac and went to System Preferences to allow the software to run.   When I opened this setting I saw a button that said, '"LibreOffice" was blocked from opening because it is not from an identified developer.' and there was a button next to it that said "Open Anyway". I clicked this button and nothing happened. I clicked it multiple times, like a hundred, out of frustration. Is there something else I need to do? Could someone verify this is not a bug?   UPDATE: I've included the photo below of what my System Preferences screen looked like and the button I pushed that didn't work.  UPDATE II: So I tried opening the application again and went into the system preferences and pressed the "Open Anyway" button again and nothing happened at first but a few minutes later while I was typing an email something flashed across my screen, possibly another dialog (or more likely a chewpacabra), but it quickly disappeared and the next thing I know LibreOffice launched! Remove Sender name ( not email address) from outgoing Mac Mail Is there a continuous function such that $\int_0^{\infty} f(x)dx$ converges, yet $\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}f(x) \ne 0$? I've tried to find any solution or proof for $$\langle x| x' \rangle=\delta(x-x'),$$ but I only came to this post:   So I got the information, that the vector $|x\rangle$ form a dirac-normalized basis for the Hilbert Space.   I know that the dirac-delta distribution is defined like this: $$\delta(x-x') = \begin{cases} 0 &amp;\mbox{if } x\neq x' \\ \infty &amp; \mbox{if } x=x' \end{cases},$$ this means that my x' is a point on my x axis where I have my infinite high peak. And also $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dx\cdot \delta(x-x')=1.$$  But how actually correlate this with the scalar product of vectors x, x' in the Hilbert Space that form a so-called 'diracl-normailzed" basis of it?  Can you give me some tips on this please? Or maybe you actually know a link, where this is explained. I need a non trivial  examples of group isomorphism that maps $G\to H$ such that   $G/H \cong G$. Is the function differentiable at $0$? Let $$f(x) = \begin{cases}\begin{align*}&amp;\cos{\dfrac{1}{x}}, &amp;x \neq0 \\ &amp;0, &amp;x=0. \end{align*}\end{cases}$$ Is the function $F(x) = \displaystyle \int_{0}^x f dx$ differentiable at $0$?  We can see that the function $f(x)$ is continuous everywhere except $x=0$. In order to show differentiability we will need to show the derivatives from the left and right are equal. So we need to show that $$\lim_{h \to 0^+} \dfrac{F(x+h)-F(x)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \dfrac{F(x+h)-F(x)}{h}.$$ The derivative from the right is $$\lim_{h \to 0^+} \dfrac{F(x+h)-F(x)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \dfrac{\displaystyle \int_{0}^x\cos{\dfrac{1}{x+h}}-\int_{0}^x\cos{\dfrac{1}{x}}}{h}$$ and the derivative from the left is $$\lim_{h \to 0^-} \dfrac{F(x+h)-F(x)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \dfrac{\displaystyle \int_{0}^x\cos{\dfrac{1}{x+h}}-\int_{0}^x\cos{\dfrac{1}{x}}}{h}.$$ I am not sure how to proceed. I want an editor that is as good as TextPad (for Windows) for compiling and running Java programs on Ubuntu 12.04. Please suggest one. Supersymmetry vs multiverse I'm a complete noobe in physics and quite honestly need help. My question is simple, based on CERN's tentative findings stating the Higgs boson at a mass of ~125 GeV: Is the physics community leaning more towards supersymmetry or multiverse? How do I make multiple spawn points in minecraft vanilla? Possible Duplicate:             What is correct? The jury was divided or The jury were divided? I am told that the latter is accurate because all of the jury do not have the same opinion in the particular case. Then, how does the subject verb agreement fit in 'The jury is still out' ? I mean, 'The jury is out' would allude to a situation were the opinion on a matter is (are?) still divided. Update a field without changing the node I need to change a field in a node without altering the 'changed' timestamp. I know this was possible in Drupal 7 using field_attach_update(), but that has been removed since then.  I could use an update query and change the field directly in the database, but I was wondering if there is a better way (or a replacement for field_attach_update()). paragraph numbering I am using the paragraph section head, i.e.,   \paragraph{This is a cool paragraph}    I would like it to compile with numbering. If I change the secnumdepth (i.e., \setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}) this will work, but produce the "wrong" type of numbering, i.e.,      1.1.1.1 This is a cool paragraph      1.1.1.2 This is another cool paragraph etc.   What I would like is      1 This is a cool paragraph      2 This is another cool paragraph   or, if not,      1.1 This is a cool paragraph      1.2 This is another cool paragraph   where the first 1 indicates the section number and suppresses the subsection and subsubsection numbers. Can this be done? Issue in using longtable within table environment I have an issue making a long list with wrapped text. The table can be several page long. I use longtable and assign the width for each column but as soon as I put it in the \begin{table} \end{table}, it does not work. It clips the table. I want to make a label for the table so I put it in the table environment.  And is there a way to automatically adjust the width so that I don't need to assign the value manually?  Thank you.

Naturally, there are quite a few tools that promise to simplify this. In fact, I have somewhat lost track of all the tools available, and I'd like to gather your valuable experience into one big post. Some of the tools are mentioned in , but I feel there's much more around.  I'd suggest that somebody starts an overview with an alphabetic list (so that I can accept this answer and it stays on top), and that everyone replies with a "community wiki" entry, one reply per tool, and inserts the tool into the list.  Personally, I use Excel2LaTeX, but I'm unhappy with having to fire up Windows in order to generate the LaTeX code. I'm thinking of a rewrite as a standalone Python tool using the xlrd library, but I'm not too inclined to reinvent the wheel. Order of items in a context menu
