  • Attachment G – CHP AMBER, SILVER, BLUE and YELLOW Alerts [Source: CHP]
    Attachment G – CHP AMBER, SILVER, BLUE AND YELLOW Alerts [source: CHP] By legislation the California Highway Patrol (CHP) is responsible for public alerting in specified circumstances. CHP uses a variety of alert dissemination tools including Changeable Message Signs on freeways, the broadcast Emergency Alert System (EAS), Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) and social media. Details appear in the following CHP Information Bulletins. G-1 INFORMATION for Allied BULLETIN Agencies BULLETIN NUMBER 217 AMBER ALERT PROGRAM UPDATE AND ENDANGERED MISSING ADVISORIES The purpose of this Information Bulletin is to provide an AMBER Alert program update and discuss the use of an Endangered Missing Advisory (EMA) for circumstances where the statutory criteria for an AMBER Alert are not met. Both procedures have proven to be very successful in locating abducted and missing children when implemented in an appropriate manner. Background America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response Alert, or AMBER Alert, is a program that partners California’s law enforcement community, media broadcasting agencies, and the public in locating abducted children. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to provide the public with immediate information about a child abduction via widespread media broadcasts and to solicit help from the public in the safe and swift return of the child. In cases where the AMBER Alert criteria are not met, there are other options for law enforcement agencies to use to disseminate information to the public. Activating an AMBER Alert Local law enforcement agencies investigate reports of an abducted or missing child. Ultimately, the local investigating law enforcement agency determines if the AMBER Alert activation criteria specified in Section 8594 of the Government Code (GC) have been met.

  • Silver Or Gold: the Color of Brass Instruments in the Late Middle Ages
    1 Silver or Gold: The Color of Brass Instruments in the Late Middle Ages Timothy J. McGee The purpose of this article is to lay out some details I have gathered about brass instruments during the late Middle Ages as a way of requesting assistance from the readers of this jour- nal. As will become immediately evident, I am using the word "brass" in its meaning as a synonym for "cup-mouthpiece instruments," because my question has to do with the actual material the instruments were made of. In the process of researching the activities of the civic musicians of Florence during the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, I have encountered considerable confusion about the material used for trumpets and trombones, and about the symbolism intended by the use of particular metals. Here is what I have found. The earliest reference to the employment of civic musicians in Florence is from gov- ernment documents of 8 February 1292' naming six trumpet players (tubatores) along with a player of the cenamella (probably a double reed) and another who played cimballella (undoubtedly the cymbals). The civic ensemble, known as the trombadori, was part of the ceremonial presence of Florence, participating in all official functions such as the frequent processions welcoming distinguished foreign visitors to the city, civic celebrations in honor of saints' days, or assemblies in which the governing executive appeared in public. The trombadori also accompanied the military in the field, and acted as representatives of the city of Florence by participating in celebrations in other cities. The earliest reference is as follows: ..

  • First-Principles and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies of Functionalization of Au32 Golden Fullerene with Amino Acids
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN First-principles and Molecular Dynamics simulation studies of functionalization of Au32 golden Received: 4 August 2017 Accepted: 18 July 2018 fullerene with amino acids Published: xx xx xxxx M. Darvish Ganji1, H. Tavassoli Larijani2, R. Alamol-hoda1 & M. Mehdizadeh1 With the growing potential applications of nanoparticles in biomedicine especially the increasing concerns of nanotoxicity of gold nanoparticles, the interaction between protein and nanoparticles is proving to be of fundamental interest for bio-functionalization of materials. The interaction of glycine (Gly) amino acid with Au32 fullerene was frst investigated with B3LYP-D3/TZVP model. Several forms of glycine were selected to better understand the trends in binding nature of glycine interacting with the nanocage. We have evaluated various stable confgurations of the Gly/Au32 complexes and the calculated adsorption energies and AIM analysis indicate that non-Gly, z-Gly and also tripeptide glycine can form stable bindings with Au32 at aqueous solution via their amino nitrogen (N) and/or carbonyl/carboxyl oxygen (O) active sites. Furthermore, cysteine, tyrosine, histidine and phenylalanine amino acids bound also strongly to the Au32 nanocage. Electronic structures and quantum molecular descriptors calculations also demonstrate the signifcant changes in the electronic properties of the nanocage due to the attachment of selected amino acids. DFT based MD simulation for the most stable complex demonstrate that Gly/Au32 complex is quite stable at ambient condition. Our frst-principles fndings ofer fundamental insights into the functionalization of Au32 nanocage and envisage its applicability as novel carrier of the drugs. Drug delivery has gained a lot of attention as it can minimize the side efects of various drugs.

During extreme excitement the male will often roll his head on his back, or even bathe. I have not observed Preening-behind-the- wing, but W. von de Wall (pers. comm.) has observed a male per- form it toward a female. Finally, Wing-flapping appears to be used as a display by males, and it is especially conspicuous because each sequence of it is ended by a rapid stretching of both wings over the back in a posture that makes visible the white axillary feathers, which contrast sharply with the black underwing surface. Copulatory behavior. Precopulatory behavior consists of the male swimming up to the female, his neck stretched and his crest de- pressed, and making occasional Bill-dipping movements. He then suddenly begins to perform more vigorous Head-dipping movements, and the female, if receptive, performs similar Bill-dipping or Head- dipping movements.

  • Characterization and Functionalization of Iron-Oxide Nanoparticles for Use As Potential Agents for Cancer Thermotherapy at the U
    Characterization and Functionalization of Iron-Oxide Nanoparticles for Use as Potential Agents for Cancer Thermotherapy By Nora O’Reilly A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Animal Science) At the University of Wisconsin-Madison 2013 Date of final oral examination: April 18th, 2013 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Professor Ralph Albrecht, Animal Science, Pediatrics, Pharmaceutical Sciences Professor Mark Cook, Animal Science Professor Amin Fadl, Animal Science Professor Manish Patankar, Obstetrics and Gynecology Professor Chris Brace, Radiology, Biomedical Engineering i Abstract This thesis presents experimental studies of iron oxide nanoparticle synthesis, functionalization, and intracellular hyperthermal effects on murine macrophages as a model in vitro system. Colloidal suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are of particular interest in Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH). Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have garnered great interest as economical, biocompatible hyperthermia agents due to their superparamagnetic activity. Here we seek to optimize the synthetic reproducibility and in vitro utilization of IONPs for application in MFH. We compared aqueous synthetic protocols and various protective coating techniques using various analytical techniques and in vitro assays to assess the biocompatibility and feasibility of the various preparations of nanoparticles. Using a co-precipitation of iron salts methodology,
