Notes and Comments: Pretrial Detention in Maryland: The Aftermath of Gerstein v. Pugh
Get PDFIn Gerstein v. Pugh the United States Supreme Court held that although a suspect arrested without a warrant is entitled to a judicial determination of probable cause to detain, the procedure for such a determination is not a critical stage of the prosecution. The author examines the implementation of the Gerstein decision in Maryland and concludes that the present procedures are inadequate to safeguard Fourth Amendment rights of an accused

My Healthy Body by L. Framer and F. Gerstein
No full textFromer, Liza, and F. Gerstein. My Healthy Body. Toronto: Tundra Books, 2012. Print. Liza Fromer is a broadcast journalist with a degree in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson University. In addition to working with The Discovery Channel and being a weekend anchor and reporter at A-Channel in Calgary, Liza has co-hosted CityTV’s Breakfast Television, hosted The Weather Network’s “Good Morning Toronto” and SLICE network’s series, “The List”. Currently, Ms Fromer lives in Toronto, as does her co-author sister-in-law, Dr. Francine Gerstein, a family physician and cosmetic medicine practitioner. Together they have co-written My Healthy Body and five other books that make up the Body Works Series. My Healthy Body opens with an author’s note about seeking medical advice for health concerns, then covers the following topics: sleep, exercise, nutrition, vaccination, eye and dental care, and the importance of family and friends, learning, and personal hygiene. Fun facts and true/false questions signal the end of each topic. Colourful illustrations depict children engaged in a variety of daily activities related to the health topics being discussed. The book focuses on the role that individuals play in being healthy. While it does not specifically situate health behaviours in a broader context of health promotion (i.e., that being healthy is affected by many factors, one of which is individual behaviour) the sections on family and friends and learning, although presented from a personal choice perspective, are a nod to some of these broader determinants. Overall, My Healthy Body is engaging and informative without being text heavy. However, it does have a few limitations. Firstly, I was surprised that, despite the book being written and published in Canada, the nutrition section does not refer to Canada’s Food Guide, highlighting the USDA’s guide instead. Similarly, the section on exercise eschews the more inclusive term, physical activity, used in the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines. Secondly, while the publisher’s website lists the book as suitable for children ages six to nine years old, this book includes vocabulary that may be more suited to the upper end of this range and readers may need assistance to understand some of the terms. Some terms are introduced in plain language, followed by the medical term in parentheses. This treatment of health-related terminology is inconsistent – some words, such as “tissues”, “self-esteem”, “obesity” are not defined in the text, nor are they addressed in the brief glossary at the end of the book; unexpectedly, the glossary does introduce some terms that do not appear in the text (e.g., antigen). Finally, the book ends abruptly, with no conclusion, suggestions for further reading, or mention of the glossary.

The Database of Macromolecular Motions: new features added at the decade mark
Get PDFabstract: The database of molecular motions, MolMovDB (http://molmovdb.org), has been in existence for the past decade. It classifies macromolecular motions and provides tools to interpolate between two conformations (the Morph Server) and predict possible motions in a single structure. In 2005, we expanded the services offered on MolMovDB. In particular, we further developed the Morph Server to produce improved interpolations between two submitted structures. We added support for multiple chains to the original adiabatic mapping interpolation, allowing the analysis of subunit motions. We also added the option of using FRODA interpolation, which allows for more complex pathways, potentially overcoming steric barriers. We added an interface to a hinge prediction service, which acts on single structures and predicts likely residue points for flexibility. We developed tools to relate such points of flexibility in a structure to particular key residue positions, i.e. active sites or highly conserved positions. Lastly, we began relating our motion classification scheme to function using descriptions from the Gene Ontology Consortium.The final version of this article, as published in Nucleic Acids Research, can be viewed online at: https://academic.oup.com/nar/article-lookup/doi/10.1093/nar/gkj04

<p>This repo contains optimal harmony and form+harmony based models for analyzing popular music as an evolutionary structure. Our model architecture is based on a traditional VAE, but with an energy-based prior that penalizes a measure of ‘evolutionary distance’, in this case informed by temporal distance across song release dates (see schematic below), in the latent space. The key output of each model is a set of latent ‘evolutionary signatures’, or characteristic distributions of chord/form k-<em>mers </em>that can be used to predict the date and genre of each song. We use the McGill Billboard corpus of popular song annotations as our database.</p>
<p>The subdirectory ‘harmonic_formal’ contains the code for training the model based both on chord progressions and formal features. The subdirectory ‘km4’ contains the code for training the model based on chord progressions of length 4.</p>
<p>In addition to the optimal models, we include some other configurations that we tested, including variants on the coarse-graining of formal units (models suffixed with ‘_A’, ‘_B’, and ‘_None’, referring to projection matrices A and B, where A retains formal categories that comprise the first 99% of the data, and collapses all others into a category of ‘other’; and B bins together semantically similar formal units), and different means of normalizing formal feature vector ‘X_struct,’ which in its raw form contains the counts of each formal category (models suffixed with ‘_binarized’ or ‘_zscore’ utilize these normalizations. These are contained within the ‘models’ folder of each subdirectory. Additional items of interest, including code for processing the McGill Billboard dataset, are included in the ‘supplemental’ folder. The ‘McGill-Billboard’ folder contains all raw data.</p>
<p>All code is currently written for MatLab.</p>
