What is Quantization?
CAML query daterange not working Redefining "cited on" string (and others) in biblatex I'm trying to modify the strings biblatex uses to set the "cited on" string used in the bibliography to identify the pages where a given references has been cited.    What I gather from the biblatex documentation (e.g., § 4.9.2.16) is that something like   \renewbibmacro{backrefpage}{&lt;newtext&gt;} \renewbibmacro{backrefpages}{&lt;newtext&gt;}   ought to work, but they have no effect for me (I'd also like to get this working for the "visited on" string, urlseen).  My MWE is unchanged from , with the addition of these (and related lines) just about anywhere. Why do people risk death by joining Starfleet if not for money or preservation of their homes? Watching Star Trek made me think of a few "deeper" questions about Starfleet, which are all related to the Star Trek TV series.  So, let's take for example the Dominion War: people are dying every second, ships get destroyed and cadets are still joining although they know they are probably going to die unless they are with Picard or Sisko.  As I read and got to understand, money has no value anymore, latinum is the general trading currency in the universe. But people on Earth don't trade and don't earn their paychecks. Earth is a much better place than today and yet young boys and girls from every culture/civilization are joining Starfleet as they are willingly signing their death note.  Why are they joining, what motivates them? They might know that they're probably going to die.  They don’t earn paychecks. They could be doing any other job, yet they choose this. And what's more interesting how many died on battlefields must be lined up in front of StarFleet every day?  What do they receive after service? Why are they doing it other than preserving their homes? Is there a fast way (without looping over all edges/faces/verts) using ops.mesh or bmesh to get the lists of indices associated with mesh islands as shown below? These islands are part of one mesh but are disjoint from each other.    I know how to select the boundaries by running the operator Select boundary Loop or calling bpy.ops.mesh.region_to_loop() but can't find any API calls to return the vert/edge/face indices associated with the individual islands. Different Google Searches return different titles for the same page How can I prove that the additive group of rationals is not isomorphic to a direct product of two nontrivial groups? I am working through Paolo Aluffi's new GSM text on my own (self-study). On page 63, he asks the reader to     Prove that $\Bbb{Q}$ is not the direct product of two nontrivial groups.   For some context, this is an exercise following a section entitled "The category Grp".  I am assuming that he means "is not isomorphic to the direct product of two nontrivial groups", and I can see two possible ways to proceed with this proof, but have been unsuccessful with either approach.    Approach 1:  Show that the additive group of rationals has a property that is preserved by isomorphism that the direct product of two nontrivial groups does not have or vice-versa.  This seems challenging unless I can significantly narrow down the properties that a direct product of two nontrivial groups that was isomorphic to $\Bbb{Q}$ would necessarily have.  Approach 2:  Considering the section in which this question occurs, show that if $G$ and $H$ are nontrivial groups and $\Bbb{Q} \cong G \times H$, then there are homomorphisms $\varphi_{G}:\Bbb{Q} \rightarrow G$ and $\varphi_{H}:\Bbb{Q} \rightarrow H$ which do not factor or do not factor uniquely through the product $G \times H$.  This would be a contradiction, as $G \times H$ is a final object in the category Grp.  I would greatly appreciate suggestions on how to proceed further with either of these approaches or with alternate approaches. Is is possible to restore the MFT of a NTFS partition after a format?

Prove that if $A$ is regular then $\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj}(A)) = (\det A)^{n-2} A$ I met a guy on a sugar daddy dating site and we talked, I told him my situation and he said he would help.   He asked for my bank account information and I told him you can use cash app or PayPal to go through. He said his account manager deals with his finances. So I set up an account with a bank that I don’t use so that my primary account isn’t used.  Eventually he was in the process of sending me money and we had agreed on a amount that wasn't crazy. But then he asked for my address and I asked why and he said just wondering. Then said he wanted to send me a surprise for being his baby. Which I didn’t give.  Then later on he sent the money and said he sent me a bonus and that I was supposed to use that to pay his mothers caregiver, which he didn’t mention until after.  I kept questioning him and he was saying that he works in construction and he’s trusting me to carry out the errand. Then he said don’t let him down and I asked him if he was threatening me and he kept saying I need this done but didn’t really answer my question.  Am I being scammed? I’m about to change my password but is this a scam? If I want to solve the equation $4x = e^x$, is there a way to solve for $x$ without graphing and looking for intersection? How to make password-less login work I generated a key and copied it to my target:  ssh-keygen ssh-copy-id username@hostname   I left the the location of the key as default and did not set any passphrase.  For a small while after that, I was able to ssh username@hostname without being prompted for a password, and then it stopped working for some reason. Given the length ot the sides $a , b$ and $c$  of $ \triangle ABC$.  What is the length of the radius of the circumcribed circle?  After some formula substitution I came to the monster formula:  $$ \frac {a b c}{\sqrt{2a^2b^2+2a^2c^2+2b^2c^2-a^4-b^4-c^4}} $$  Can this formula be simplified? I need to host several Apache virtual hosts with SSL from a single IP.  Now - I understand that because SSL wraps around the HTTP request, there's no way to know which host is being requested until a public key has been sent to the client first. This essentially breaks the possibility of SSL virtual hosts using a standard SSL certificate.  I have obtained a Unified Communications Certificate (UCC), otherwise known as a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) certificate. This allows me to serve the same certificate for multiple domains.  I would like this to be the certificate served by Apache for any SSL request - and then have Apache resolve the virtual host as usual, once the encryption has been established.  How should I configure Apache for this? I have tried to research how this can be done, but all I can find are quotes which say that it is possible, but no specifics:    wiki.apache.org/httpd/NameBasedSSLVHostsWithSNI     While Apache can renegotiate the SSL   connection later after seeing the   hostname in the request (and does),   that's too late to pick the right   server certificate to use to match the   request hostname during the initial   handshake, resulting in browser   warnings/errors about certificates   having the wrong hostname in them.   serverfault.com/questions/48334/apache-virtual-hosts-with-ssl     Incidentally, it is possible to have   multiple SSL-secured named virtual   hosts on a single IP address - I do it   on my website - but it produces all   sorts of warnings in the Apache logs,   and certificate warnings in the   browser. I certainly wouldn't   recommend it for a production site   that needs to look clean.   -David Jul 31 at 4:58   www.digicert.com/subject-alternative-name.htm     Virtual Host Multiple SSL sites on a single   IP address. Hosting multiple   SSL-enabled sites on a single server   typically requires a unique IP address   per site, but a certificate with   Subject Alternative Names can solve   this problem. Microsoft IIS 6 and   Apache are both able to Virtual Host   HTTPS sites using Unified   Communications SSL, also known as SAN   certificates.     Please help. Working with a CSV data file with 100 millions rows (and 30 columns) $X^n-Y^m$ is irreducible in $\Bbb{C}[X,Y]$ iff $\gcd(n,m)=1$ I am trying to show that $X^n-Y^m$ is irreducible in $\Bbb{C}[X,Y]$ iff $\gcd(n,m)=1$ where $n,m$ are positive integers.    I showed that if $\gcd(n,m)$ is not $1$, then $X^n-Y^m$ is reducible. How to show the other direction. Please help. I've been programming in Java for a while and just got thrown onto a project that's written entirely in C#.  I'm trying to come up to speed in C#, and noticed enums used in several places in my new project, but at first glance, C#'s enums seem to be more simplistic than the Java 1.5+ implementation.  Can anyone enumerate the differences between C# and Java enums, and how to overcome the differences?  (I don't want to start a language flame war, I just want to know how to do some things in C# that I used to do in Java).  For example, could someone post a C# counterpart to Sun's famous Planet enum example?  public enum Planet {   MERCURY (3.303e+23, 2.4397e6),   VENUS   (4.869e+24, 6.0518e6),   EARTH   (5.976e+24, 6.37814e6),   MARS    (6.421e+23, 3.3972e6),   JUPITER (1.9e+27,   7.1492e7),   SATURN  (5.688e+26, 6.0268e7),   URANUS  (8.686e+25, 2.5559e7),   NEPTUNE (1.024e+26, 2.4746e7),   PLUTO   (1.27e+22,  1.137e6);    private final double mass;   // in kilograms   private final double radius; // in meters   Planet(double mass, double radius) {       this.mass = mass;       this.radius = radius;   }   public double mass()   { return mass; }   public double radius() { return radius; }    // universal gravitational constant  (m3 kg-1 s-2)   public static final double G = 6.67300E-11;    public double surfaceGravity() {       return G * mass / (radius * radius);   }   public double surfaceWeight(double otherMass) {       return otherMass * surfaceGravity();   } }  // Example usage (slight modification of Sun's example): public static void main(String[] args) {     Planet pEarth = Planet.EARTH;     double earthRadius = pEarth.radius(); // Just threw it in to show usage      // Argument passed in is earth Weight.
