  • Jupyter Reference Guide
    – 1 – Nicholas Bowman, Sonja Johnson-Yu, Kylie Jue Handout #15 CS 106AP August 5, 2019 Jupyter Reference Guide This handout goes over the basics of Jupyter notebooks, including how to install Jupyter, launch a notebook, and run its cells. Jupyter notebooks are a common tool used across different disciplines for exploring and displaying data, and they also make great interactive explanatory tools. Installing Jupyter To install Jupyter, run the following command inside your Terminal (replace python3 with ​ py if you’re using a Windows device): ​ $ python3 -m pip install jupyter Launching a notebook A Jupyter notebook is a file that ends in the extension .ipynb, which stands for ​ ​ “interactive Python notebook.” To launch a Python notebook after you’ve installed ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Jupyter, you should first navigate to the directory where your notebook is located (you’ll be there by default if you’re using the PyCharm terminal inside a project). Then run the following command inside your Terminal (if this doesn’t work, see the “Troubleshooting” section below): $ jupyter notebook This should open a window in your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) that looks like Figure 1. Jupyter shows the files inside the current directory and allows you to click on any Python notebook files within that folder. Figure 1: After running the jupyter notebook command, you should see a window that ​ ​ ​ lists the Python notebooks inside the current directory from which you ran the command. The picture above shows the Lecture 25 directory. – 2 – To launch a particular notebook, click on its file name. This should open a new tab with the notebook.

  • Tilde-Arrow-Out (~→O)
    Chapter 5: Derivations in Sentential Logic 181 atomic). In the next example, the disjunction is complex (its disjuncts are not atomic). Example 2 (1) (P ´ Q) → (P & Q) Pr (2) •: (P & Q) ∨ (~P & ~Q) ID (3) |~[(P & Q) ∨ (~P & ~Q)] As (4) |•: ¸ DD (5) ||~(P & Q) 3,~∨O (6) ||~(~P & ~Q) 3,~∨O (7) ||~(P ∨ Q) 1,5,→O (8) ||~P 7,~∨O (9) ||~Q 7,~∨O (10) ||~P & ~Q 8,9,&I (11) ||¸ 6,10,¸I The basic strategy is exactly like the previous problem. The only difference is that the formulas are more complex. 13. FURTHER RULES In the previous section, we added the rule ~∨O to our list of inference rules. Although it is not strictly required, it does make a number of derivations much easier. In the present section, for the sake of symmetry, we add corresponding rules for the remaining two-place connectives; specifically, we add ~&O, ~→O, and ~↔O. That way, we have a rule for handling any negated molecular formula. Also, we add one more rule that is sometimes useful, the Rule of Repetition. The additional negation rules are given as follows. Tilde-Ampersand-Out (~&O) ~(d & e) ––––––––– d → ~e Tilde-Arrow-Out (~→O) ~(d → f) –––––––––– d & ~f 182 Hardegree, Symbolic Logic Tilde-Double-Arrow-Out (~±O) ~(d ± e) –––––––––– ~d ± e The reader is urged to verify that these are all valid argument forms of sentential logic. There are other valid forms that could serve equally well as the rules in question. The choice is to a certain arbitrary. The advantage of the particular choice becomes more apparent in a later chapter on predicate logic.

Received: 6 August 2020; Accepted: 2 October 2020; Published: 5 October 2020 Abstract: It is known and accepted that the gut microbiota composition of an organism has an impact on its health. Many studies deal with this topic, the majority discussing gastrointestinal health. Adenomatous colon polyps have a high prevalence as colon cancer precursors, but in many cases, they are hard to diagnose in their early stages. Gut microbiota composition correlated with the presence of adenomatous colon polyps may be a noninvasive and efficient tool for diagnosis with a high impact on human wellbeing and favorable health care costs.

  • Orthographies in Grammar Books
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 30 July 2018 doi:10.20944/preprints201807.0565.v1 Tomislav Stojanov, [email protected], [email protected] Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistic Republike Austrije 16, 10.000 Zagreb, Croatia Orthographies in Grammar Books – Antiquity and Humanism Summary This paper researches the as yet unstudied topic of orthographic content in antique, medieval, and Renaissance grammar books in European languages, as part of a wider research of the origin of orthographic standards in European languages. As a central place for teachings about language, grammar books contained orthographic instructions from the very beginning, and such practice continued also in later periods. Understanding the function, content, and orthographic forms in the past provides for a better description of the nature of the orthographic standard in the present. The evolution of grammatographic practice clearly shows the continuity of development of orthographic content from a constituent of grammar studies through the littera unit gradually to an independent unit, then into annexed orthographic sections, and later into separate orthographic manuals. 5 antique, 22 Latin, and 17 vernacular grammars were analyzed, describing 19 European languages. The research methodology is based on distinguishing orthographic content in the narrower sense (grapheme to meaning) from the broader sense (grapheme to phoneme). In this way, the function of orthographic description was established separately from the study of spelling. As for the traditional description of orthographic content in the broader sense in old grammar books, it is shown that orthographic content can also be studied within the grammatographic framework of a specific period, similar to the description of morphology or syntax.

  • 1St Rule: FANBOYS and Compound Sentences FANBOYS Is a Mnemonic Device, Which Stands for the Coordinating Conjunctions: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So
    1st Rule: FANBOYS and Compound Sentences FANBOYS is a mnemonic device, which stands for the coordinating conjunctions: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So. These words, when used to connect two independent clauses (two complete thoughts), must be preceded by a comma. A sentence is a complete thought, consisting of a Subject and a Verb. Conjunctions should not be confused with conjunctive adverbs, such as However, Therefore, and Moreover or with conjunctions, such as Because. 2nd Rule: Introductory Bits When using an introductory word, phrase, or clause to begin a sentence, it is important to place a comma between the introduction and the main sentence. The introduction is not a complete thought on its own; it simply introduces the main clause. This lets the reader know that the “meat” of the sentence is what follows the comma. You should be able to remove the part which comes before the comma and still have a complete thought. Examples: Generally, John is opposed to overt acts of affection. However, Lucy inspires him to be kind. If the hamster is launched fifty feet, there is too much pressure in the cannon. Although the previous sentence has little to do with John and Lucy, it is a good example of how to use commas with introductory clauses. 3rd Rule: Separating Items in a Series Commas belong between each item in a list. However, in a series of three items, the comma between the second and third item and the conjunction (generally and or or) is optional, whereas in a list of four items, the comma is necessary.
