US 2020/0050105 Al 65 Feb. 13 2020 -continued [0123] Of the foregoing PAGs those having an anion of formula (IA’) or (ID) are especially preferred because of reduced acid diffusion and high solubility in the resist solvent. Also those having an anion of formula (2’) are especially preferred because of extremely reduced acid diffusion. [0124] Also a sulfonium or iodonium salt having an iodized or brominated aromatic ring-containing anion may be used as the PAG. Suitable are sulfonium and iodonium salts having the formulae (3-1) and (3-2).

• A Label can indicate a logical grouping of set of Pods and give an application identity to them. • In addition to the preceding typical use cases labels can be used to store meta‐ data. It may be difficult to predict what a label could be used for but it is best to have enough labels to describe all important aspects of the Pods. For example having labels to indicate the logical group of an application the business charac‐ teristics and criticality the specific runtime platform dependencies such as hard‐ ware architecture or location preferences are all useful. Later these labels can be used by the scheduler for more fine-grained scheduling or the same labels can be used from the command line for managing the match‐ ing Pods at scale. However you should not go overboard and add too many labels in advance. You can always add them later if needed. Removing labels is much riskier as there is no straight-forward way of finding out what a label is used for and what unintended effect such an action may cause. Another primitive very similar to labels is called annotations . Like labels annotations are organized as a map but they are intended for specifying nonsearchable metadata and for machine usage rather than human. The information on the annotations is not intended for querying and matching objects. Instead it is intended for attaching additional metadata to objects from vari‐ ous tools and libraries we want to use. Some examples of using annotations include build IDs release IDs image information timestamps Git branch names pull request numbers image hashes registry addresses author names tooling informa‐ tion and more. So while labels are used primarily for query matching and perform‐ ing actions on the matching resources annotations are used to attach metadata that can be consumed by a machine. Another primitive that can also help in the management of a group of resources is the Kubernetes namespace . As we have described a namespace may seem similar to a label but in reality it is a very different primitive with different characteristics and purpose. Kubernetes namespaces allow dividing a Kubernetes cluster (which is usually spread across multiple hosts) into a logical pool of resources. Namespaces provide scopes for Kubernetes resources and a mechanism to apply authorizations and other policies to a subsection of the cluster. The most common use case of namespaces is representing different software environments such as development testing integration testing or production. Namespaces can also be used to achieve multitenancy and provide isola‐ Distributed Primitives | 9 Namespaces Annotations

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Stock Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities PART II The Company’s Common Stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DRQ. The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low sales prices of the Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the indicated quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013. There were approximately 100 stockholders of record of the Company’s Common Stock as of December 31 2014. This number includes the Company’s employees and directors that hold shares but does not include the number of security holders for whom shares are held in a “nominee” or “street” name. The Company has not paid any dividends in the past. The Company currently intends to retain any earnings for the future operation and development of its business and does not currently anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors will review this policy on a regular basis in light of the Company’s earnings financial position and market opportunities. Information concerning securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is included in Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2012 the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. In the fourth quarter of 2013 the Company repurchased and cancelled 85 840 shares at a total cost of $10 million. In the first half of 2014 the Company repurchased and cancelled 869 699 shares for $90 million. As of May 27 2014 the Company had repurchased the maximum amount authorized under the stock repurchase plan. On June 12 2014 the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized an additional stock repurchase plan in which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. In the third quarter of 2014 the Company repurchased and cancelled 512 053 shares at an average price of $98.11 and a total cost of $50.2 million. In the fourth quarter of 2014 the Company repurchased and cancelled 639 550 shares at an average cost of $77.85 for a total cost of $49.8 million. As of December 24 2014 the Company had repurchased the maximum amount authorized under the stock repurchase plan.

120 might be modified such as when moving a corresponding object 120 between regions. When logical representations 202 are modified in this way the template 116 or region 118 can update the appropriate data source 124 to reflect the modification. [0064] In the illustrated example for instance a note object 302C is moved from a region 118G showing note objects 302C for in-progress to-do items to a region 118H showing note objects 302C for completed to-do items. In this example the logical representation 202 associated with the moved note object 302C can be modified to indicate the completion of the to-do item and the data source 124 can be updated with the modified logical representation 202. Other views of the same data at other instances of the whiteboard application 104 can then be updated based on the modified logical representation 202 stored at the data source 124. [0065] As shown in FIG. 7B templates 116 and regions 118 can also be configured to initiate actions 702 based on changes to the logical representations 202 associated with objects 120. In the illustrated example for instance the logical representation 202 for a note object 302C has been modified as a result of the movement of the note object 302C from the region 118F to the region 118G. In particular the logical representation 202 associated with the moved note object 302C has been modified to indicate that the note object 302C represents a completed task rather than an in-progress task. [0066] In response to the modification of the logical representation 202 associated with the note object 302C the template 116 or the region 118G has initiated an action 702. In this example the action 702 is the transmission of an email message indicating completion of the task associated with the note object 302C. Other types of actions 702 can be initiated in response to the modification of logical representations 202 associated with other types of objects 302 in other configurations. [0067] As also shown in FIG. 7B different regions 118 can provide different views of the same logical representations 202. In the illustrated example for instance the region 118G presents objects 120 for completed tasks as note objects 302C. Simultaneously the region 1181 presents the objects 120 for completed tasks in a histogram shown the number of completed tasks as of their completion dates. The region 1181 is updated as changes to the logical representations 202 of the objects 120 take place. For example when the logical representation 202 for the note object 302C is changed as a result of the movement of the note object 302C from the region 118G to the region 118H the region 1181 updates its display to reflect completion of a task on 3/17.

customers are included in revenues and represent less than one percent of total revenues. The corresponding sales taxes paid are included in cost of goods sold. Value added taxes collected from customers in international jurisdictions are recorded in accrued expenses as a liability. Revenue is recorded net of discounts. Sales returns are accrued based on historical sales return experience which we believe provides a reasonable estimate of future returns. A portion of Enterprise Networks products are sold to a non-exclusive distribution network of major technology distributors in the United States. These large organizations then distribute or provide fulfillment services to an extensive network of value-added resellers and system integrators. Value-added resellers and system integrators may be affiliated with us as a channel partner or they may purchase from the distributor in an unaffiliated fashion. Additionally with certain limitations our distributors may return unused and unopened product for stock-balancing purposes when such returns are accompanied by offsetting orders for products of equal or greater value. We participate in cooperative advertising and market development programs with certain customers. We use these programs to reimburse customers for certain forms of advertising and in general to allow our customers credits up to a specified percentage of their net purchases. Our costs associated with these programs are estimated and included in marketing expenses in our consolidated statements of income. We also participate in rebate programs to provide sales incentives for certain products. Our costs associated with these programs are estimated and accrued at the time of sale and are recorded as a reduction of sales in our consolidated statements of income. Unearned revenue primarily represents customer billings on our maintenance service programs and unearned revenues relating to multiple element contracts where we still have contractual obligations to our customers. We currently offer maintenance contracts ranging from one to five years primarily on Enterprise Networks Division products sold through distribution channels. Revenue attributable to maintenance contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the related contract term. In addition we provide software maintenance and a variety of hardware maintenance services to Carrier Networks Division customers which include customers of the acquired NSN BBA business under contracts with terms up to ten years. At December 31 2013 and 2012 unearned revenue was as follows: Other income (expense) net is comprised primarily of miscellaneous income and expense gains and losses on foreign currency transactions investment account management fees and gains or losses on the disposal of property plant and equipment occurring in the normal course of business. Earnings per common share and earnings per common share assuming dilution are based on the weighted average number of common shares and when dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. See Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The Board of Directors presently anticipates that it will declare a regular quarterly dividend as long as the current tax treatment of dividends exists and adequate levels of liquidity are maintained. During the years ended December 31 2013 2012 and 2011 we paid $21.4 million $22.8 million and $23.1 million respectively in shareholder dividends. On January 21 2014 the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share to be paid to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 6 2014. The ex-dividend date was February 4 2014 and the payment date was February 20 2014. The quarterly dividend payment was $5.1 million. We use the acquisition method to account for business combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting we recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value on the acquisition date. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets acquired. Costs incurred to complete the business combination such as legal accounting or other professional fees are charged to general and administrative expenses as they are incurred.

A. Putze et al.: An MCMC technique to sample transport and source parameters of Galactic cosmic rays. II. studies (Moskalenko et al. 2001)—the posterior PDF of L extends from 25 to 85 kpc for model III (most probable value at 46 kpc). In terms of statistics the best-fit model is stil model III for which the χ $^{2}$/d.o.f is 1.41. Modified DM ( r$_{h}$ = 0 ): the presence of a local bubble re- sults in an exponential attenuation of the local radioactive flux see Sect. 2.3 and Eq. (10). We thus expect to have a different best-fit parameter for L in that case. The re- sulting posterior PDFs of L and r$_{h}$ and the correlations to the propagation parameters for this modified DM are given in Figs. 6 and 7 for models II and III respectively. The most probable values are gathered in Table 7 (third and last lines). As expected the local bubble radius r$_{h}$ is negatively correlated with the Galactic halo size L . The effect is more striking for model III where the favoured range for L ex- tends from 1 to 50 kpc. The most probable value is 8 +8 − $_{7}$kpc for a local bubble radius r$_{h}$ = 120 +20 − $_{20}$pc. The χ $^{2}$/d.o.f of this configuration is 1.28 instead of 1.41 for the standard DM. The improvement to the fit is statistically significant according to the Fisher criterion. The situation for model II is different. The halo size L is already small for the standard configuration r$_{h}$ = 0. Adding the local bubble radius r$_{h}$ to the fit decreases the most probable value of L only slightly to 4 +1 − $_{1}$kpc and the measured value of r$_{h}$ is compatible with 0 pc. In addition the χ $^{2}$/d.o.f is 3.69 and hence poorer than for the configu- ration without the local bubble feature. In this model (dif- fusion/reacceleration no convection) a local underdensity is not supported. We repeat the analysis for the remaining isotopic ratios. The resulting marginalised posterior PDFs of the Galactic halo size L and the local underdensity r$_{h}$ are given in Figs. 8 and 9 for models II and III respectively. The correlation plots with the transport parameters are similar to those of Figs. 6 and 7 and are not repeated. Standard DM ( r$_{h}$ = 0 ): as for the $^{10}$Be/$^{9}$Be ratio (red- dotted line) L is well constrained in model II at small val- ues for the $^{26}$Al/$^{27}$Al (green-long dashed-dotted line) and $^{36}$Cl/Cl (blue dashed-dotted line) ratios covering slightly different but consistent ranges from 4 to 14 kpc. The width of the estimated PDFs increases when moving from the $^{10}$Be/$^{9}$Be ratio to the $^{36}$Cl/Cl ratio due to the decreasing accuracy of the data. In the same way the adjustment to the data becomes poorer as expressed by the increase in χ $^{2}$/d.o.f from 3.59 to 4.09. Used alone the radioactive ratio $^{10}$Be/$^{9}$Be constrains the most precisely the halo size L but the constraints obtained with the other radioactive ratios are completely compatible within the 2 σ range. The most likely value of L is ascertained when the three radioactive ratios are fitted simultaneously (black solid line). The best-fit model is model III where the overall cov- ered halo size range extends from 20 to 140 kpc. The most probable value found for L with 68% confidence level (CL) errors is 62 +7 − $_{10}$kpc. Modified DM ( r$_{h}$ = 0 ): the resulting marginalised poste- rior PDFs of L are shown in Figs. 8 and 9 (lower left) for models II and III respectively. Again the extracted PDFs for all radioactive ratios are completely compatible for both models. As described above the decrease in L is more pro- nounced for model III than for model II. This decrease can Fig. 9. Same as in Fig. 8 but for model III. Fig. 8. Model II: marginalised posterior PDFs of the Galactic geometry parameters for the standard DM ( r$_{h}$ = 0 top panel) and for the modified DM ( r$_{h}$ = 0 bot- tom panels).

MySQL 8.0 FAQ: MySQL Chinese Japanese and Korean Character Sets A.11.1. What CJK character sets are available in MySQL? The list of CJK character sets may vary depending on your MySQL version. For example the gb18030 character set is not supported prior to MySQL 5.7.4. However since the name of the applicable language appears in the DESCRIPTION column for every entry in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHARACTER_SETS table you can obtain a current list of all the non- Unicode CJK character sets using this query: (For more information see Section 26.3.4 “The INFORMATION_SCHEMA CHARACTER_SETS Table” .) MySQL supports three variants of the GB ( Guojia Biaozhun or National Standard or Simplified Chinese ) character sets which are official in the People’s Republic of China: gb2312 gbk and (as of MySQL 5.7.4) gb18030 . Sometimes people try to insert gbk characters into gb2312 and it works most of the time because gbk is a superset of gb2312 . But eventually they try to insert a rarer Chinese character and it does not work. (For an example see Bug #16072). Here we try to clarify exactly what characters are legitimate in gb2312 or gbk with reference to the official documents. Please check these references before reporting gb2312 or gbk bugs: •The MySQL gbk character set is in reality “Microsoft code page 936” . This differs from the official gbk for characters A1A4 (middle dot) A1AA (em dash) A6E0-A6F5 and A8BB-A8C0 . 5258 A.11.9 Why does my GUI front end or browser display CJK characters incorrectly in my application using Access PHP or another API? ................................................................................... 5264 A.11.10 I’ve upgraded to MySQL 8.0.

At December 31 2004 $535.5 million was available for future issuance in debt securities preferred shares common shares or warrants from our $1.1 billion shelf registration. We have significant unencumbered real estate assets which could be sold or used as collateral for financing purposes should other sources of capital not be available. The following table summarizes our unsecured notes payable issued during 2004 from our $1.1 billion universal shelf: We may redeem the notes at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount and accrued interest plus a make-whole provision. The notes are direct senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. We used the net proceeds to reduce indebtedness outstanding under our unsecured line of credit. During 2004 we paid off $30.0 million of maturing medium-term notes. These notes had interest rates ranging from 6.9% to 7.2%. We also paid off $200.0 million of maturing unsecured notes payable which had an interest rate of 7.1%. Additionally we repaid six conventional mortgage notes totaling $58.2 million which had a weighted average interest rate of 7.3%. We repaid all notes payable using proceeds available under our unsecured line of credit. At December 31 2004 and 2003 the weighted average interest rate on our floating rate debt which includes our unsecured line of credit was 2.5% and 2.2% respectively. We use fixed and floating rate debt to finance acquisitions developments and maturing debt. These transactions expose us to market risk related to changes in interest rates. Management’s policy is to review our borrowings and attempt to mitigate interest rate exposure through the use of long-term debt maturities and derivative instruments where appropriate. As of December 31 2004 we had no derivative instruments outstanding. For fixed rate debt interest rate changes affect the fair market value but do not impact net income to common share- holders or cash flows. Conversely for floating rate debt interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value but do impact net income to common shareholders and cash flows assuming other factors are held constant. At December 31 2004 we had fixed rate debt of $1 429.6 million and floating rate debt of $146.8 million. Holding other variables constant (such as debt levels) a one percentage point variance in interest rates would change the unrealized fair market value of the fixed rate debt by approximately $65.9 million. The net income available to common shareholders and cash flows impact on the next year resulting from a one percentage point variance in interest rates on fl oating rate debt would be approximately $1.5 million holding all other variables constant. Changes in revenues and expenses related to our operating properties from period to period are due primarily to property developments dispositions acquisitions and the performance of the stabilized properties in the portfolio. Where appropriate comparisons are made on a dollars-per-weighted-average-apartment home basis in order to adjust for such changes in the number of apartment homes owned during each period.

RELAXED BELIEF PROPAGATION 10 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 −15 −14 −13 −12 −11 −10 −9 −8 Measuerment ratio = n/m Median NSE (dB) Linear MMSE Linear MMSE + Proj Relaxed BP Opt MMSE theoretical asymptotic minimum squared error. We see that the median squared error of relaxed BP at n = 50 matches the theoretical asymptotic performance well. Fig. 7 also compares the relaxed BP method to two other simple algorithms. One is the linear MMSE estimator which is equivalent to the MMSE estimator assuming Gaussian noise. The second estimator shown in the curve labeled “Linear MMSE + Proj ” is the linear MMSE estimate followed by a projection step. A key observation of the work [33] [34] is that any estimate (including the linear MMSE estimate) can be improved by simply projecting the estimate onto the set of vectors x consistent with the bounded noise. An estimate ̂ x is consistent with the noise if ‖ y − Φ$_{̂}$ x ‖$_{∞}$ ≤ δ . The works [33] [34] show that projecting to a consistent estimate always reduces the squared-error and can offer significant gains at low values of β (what is called high oversampling). Similar results and algorithms have been reported elsewhere [35]–[37]. The figure shows that projecting the linear MMSE estimate does indeed offer reductions in the squared error especially for small β . However the relaxed BP algorithm in comparison is even better. Fig. 7. Relaxed BP algorithm with a Gaussian prior and bounded noise output channel. The plot compares the simulated relaxed BP performance against the predicted performance based on density evolution. Also shown is the performance of the linear MMSE estimator with and without projection to the consistent set. The reason that the relaxed BP algorithm shows a perfor- mance improvement over the projected linear MMSE estimate is that projecting the linear MMSE estimate will generally result in a point only on the boundary of the consistent set. In contrast the relaxed BP algorithm will attempt to find the centroid of the consistent region which will likely have a smaller error variance. To validate the relaxed BP method and analysis for non- AWGN output channels we next considered a bounded uniform noise channel. Specifically we assumed that the output channel is given by (3) where the components of the noise vector w are i.i.d. and uniformly distributed in an interval [ − δ δ ] for some δ > 0 . Among other applications this bounded noise model arises in the study of subtractive dithered quantization [31] [32] where the uncertainty interval corresponds to a quantization region. C. Estimation with Bounded Noise VII. CONCLUSIONS We have presented an extension to Guo and Wang’s relaxed BP method in [13] to non-AWGN measurements. The algo- rithm applies to a large class of estimation problems involving linear mixing and arbitrary separable input and output distri- butions. Unlike standard BP relaxed BP is computationally tractable even for dense measurement matrices. Our main result shows that in the large sparse limit relaxed BP achieves the same asymptotic behavior as standard BP as described in [14]. In particular when certain state evolution equations have unique fixed points relaxed BP is mean-square optimal. Given the generality of the algorithm its computational simplicity and provable performance guarantees we believe that relaxed BP can have wide ranging applications. We have demonstrated the algorithm in two well-known NP-hard problems: com- pressed sensing and estimation with bounded noise. Unfortunately optimal MMSE estimation with bounded uniform noise involves an integration over an n -dimensional polytope which is generally computationally intractable. How- ever the relaxed BP algorithm can be readily applied to the relaxed BP problem with bounded noise providing a simple computationally-tractable algorithm for this problem. Fig. 7 shows a simulation of the relaxed BP algorithm with a bounded uniform output noise channel. The simulation used a vector x with n = 50 zero-mean i.i.d. Gaussian components. Similar to the previous experiment we again used a measurement matrix Φ with Gaussian i.i.d. components. Also bounded uniform noise in the interval [ − δ δ ] results in a noise variance of µ$_{w}$ = δ $^{2}$/ 3 . In this experiment the noise level δ was adjusted such that SNR$_{0}$ in (46) was equal to 10 dB. We varied the values of the measurement ratio β = n/m and for each value of β the points labeled “Relaxed BP” in Fig. 7 plots the median NSE over 1000 Monte Carlo trials of the relaxed BP algorithm using 20 iterations in each relaxed BP run. The main theoretical limitation of the work is that it applies to large sparse random matrices where the density of the measurement matrix must grow at a much slower rate than the matrix dimension. An interesting avenue of future work would be to see if the dense matrix analysis of the AMP algorithm in [11] and [22] can be extended to relaxed BP. Before proving our main result the next number of ap- pendices develop some preliminary results. We begin in this appendix with some simple extensions to the Law of Large As in the previous experiment the SE equations have a unique fixed point and thus relaxed BP is theoretically asymptotically optimal with a minimum variance predicted by the SE fixed point.

37 Temporal evolution of the central fixation bias By extending a recently published model of saccade generation (SceneWalk model; En- gbert et al. 2015; Sch¨ utt et al. 2017) we were able to account for the empirical data. The model is based on two competing pathways that provide potential saccade targets (attention map) and keep track of recently fixated locations (fixation map). To generate a strong early CFB we needed to assume that the sudden image onset led to a strong central activation in the attention map. The dynamic model was the only model to qualitatively reproduce the CFB and the relation between saccade latency and the distance to center of the second fixation. However in its current form the model underestimated both effects. A control model that randomly selected saccade targets from the distribution of empir- ically observed fixation locations (Density model) performed worse than the SceneWalk model but demonstrated that fixations are distributed randomly and proportional to the empirical distribution on the image after about 2 s. Note a very similar target selection mechanism is often assumed in saliency models where targets are sampled randomly from a saliency map. By incorporating systematic eye movement tendencies these models im- prove (c.f. Le Meur & Liu 2015). A model similar to the SceneWalk model but without a fixation map (Gauss Model) performed well in terms of likelihood but did not repro- duce the temporal evolution of the CFB or influences of saccade latencies. Finally a pure central fixation bias model (CenterBias model) performed poorly on all measures. Our results imply to use a modified version of the scene viewing paradigm to study bottom- up and top-down processes of target selection beyond the CFB. To minimize the influence of the sudden image onset we suggest to use a fixation marker that disappears about 125 ms after image onset. In addition due to the dependence of successive fixations scene exploration should not exclusively start near the image center. Instead initial fixations (fixation markers) should be evenly distributed across the entire image or even with a preference towards the periphery. Central parts of the image will be fixated when the

Let T be an estimating functional of θ such that T ( H$_{n}$ ) = ̂ θ$_{n}$ where H$_{n}$ is the corresponding empirical distribution. Suppose that T is Fisher consistent i.e. T ( H$_{θ}$ ) = θ . The influence function of T introduced by Hampel [9] measures the effect on the functional of a small fraction of point mass contamination.

Chapter 3. Using Python on Windows 28 Python Setup and Usage Release 3.9.5 From file associations 3.8.2 Shebang Lines For example if the first line of your script starts with 3.8.3 Arguments in shebang lines The launcher should have been associated with Python files (i.e. .py $_{.pyw}$ $_{.pyc}$ files) when it was installed. This means that when you double-click on one of these files from Windows explorer the launcher will be used and therefore you can use the same facilities described above to have the script specify the version which should be used. The key benefit of this is that a single launcher can support multiple Python versions at the same time depending on the contents of the first line. If the first line of a script file starts with$_{#!}$ it is known as a “shebang” line. Linux and other Unix like operating systems have native support for such lines and they are commonly used on such systems to indicate how a script should be executed. This launcher allows the same facilities to be used with Python scripts on Windows and the examples above demonstrate their use. To allow shebang lines in Python scripts to be portable between Unix and Windows this launcher supports a number of ‘virtual’ commands to specify which interpreter to use. The supported virtual commands are: #! /usr/bin/python The default Python will be located and used. As many Python scripts written to work on Unix will already have this line you should find these scripts can be used by the launcher without modification. If you are writing a new script on Windows which you hope will be useful on Unix you should use one of the shebang lines starting with$_{/usr}$ . Any of the above virtual commands can be suffixed with an explicit version (either just the major version or the major and minor version). Furthermore the 32-bit version can be requested by adding “-32” after the minor version. I.e.$_{/usr/bin/python2.7-32}$ will request usage of the 32-bit python 2.7. New in version 3.7: Beginning with python launcher 3.7 it is possible to request 64-bit version by the “-64” suffix. Furthermore it is possible to specify a major and architecture without minor (i.e.$_{/usr/bin/python3-64}$ ). The$_{/usr/bin/env}$ form of shebang line has one further special property. Before looking for installed Python interpreters this form will search the executable$_{PATH}$ for a Python executable. This corresponds to the behaviour of the Unix$_{env}$program which performs a$_{PATH}$ search. The shebang lines can also specify additional options to be passed to the Python interpreter. For example if you have a shebang line: #! /usr/bin/python -v Then Python will be started with the$_{-v}$ option • python • /usr/local/bin/python • /usr/bin/python • /usr/bin/env python

Pump grease in here Remove grease fitting Lubricating bearing in this area Figure 7-42. Lubricating propeller bearings. Propeller overhaul should be accomplished at the maximum hours or calendar time limit whichever occurs first. Upon receipt for overhaul prepare a document that tracks the propeller components throughout the overhaul process. Research all applicable ADs current specifications and manufacturers’ SBs for incorporation during the overhaul process. Double check the serial number and make notes on the work order regarding the general condition in which the propeller was received. As you disassemble and clean the unit perform a preliminary inspection on all related parts. Record those revealing discrepancies requiring rework or replacement in the overhaul record by part number along with the reason for the required action. Discard all threaded fasteners during disassembly and with a few exceptions permitted by the manufacturer replace with new components. Many specialized tools and fixtures are required in the disassembly and proper reassembly of propellers. These tools are generally model specific and range from massive 15-foot torque adapter bars and 100-ton presses down to tiny dowel pin alignment devices. Dimensionally inspect components that are subject to wear to the manufacturer’s specifications. After passing inspection anodize aluminum parts and cadmium plate steel parts for maximum protection against corrosion. Strip nonferrous hubs and components of paint and anodize and inspect for cracks using a liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) procedure. Etch rinse dry and then immerse the parts in a fluorescent penetrant solution. After soaking in the penetrant rinse them again and blow dry. Then apply developer which draws any penetrant caught in cracks or defects to the surface. Under an ultraviolet inspection lamp the penetrant clearly identifies the flaw. Certain models of hubs are also eddy-current inspected around critical high- stress areas. Eddy-current testing passes an electrical current through a conductive material that when disturbed by a crack or other flaw causes a fluctuation on a meter or CRT display. This method of inspection can detect flaws that are below the surface of the material and not exposed to the eye. Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) is used to locate flaws in steel parts. The steel parts of the propeller are magnetized by passing a strong electrical current through them. A suspension of fluorescent iron oxide powder and solvent is spread over the parts. While magnetized the particles within the fluid on the parts surface immediately align themselves with the discontinuity. When examined under black light the crack or fault shows as a bright fluorescent line. The first step in blade overhaul is the precise measurement of blade width thickness face alignment blade angles and length. Then record the measurements on each blade’s inspection record and check against the minimum acceptable overhaul specifications established by the manufacturer. Blade overhaul involves surface grinding and repitching if necessary. Occasionally blade straightening is also required. The manufacturer’s specification dictates certain allowable limits within which a damaged blade may be cold straightened and returned to airworthy condition. Specialized tooling and precision measuring equipment permit pitch changes or corrections of less than one-tenth of one degree. To ensure accuracy take frequent face alignment and angle measurements during the repair process. Precision hand grind the blade airfoil to remove all corrosion scratches and surface flaws.

APPENDIX K ITF RULES OF TENNIS Decision: No. Case 2: Is the server allowed to have one or both feet off the ground? The service is a fault if: 19. SERVICE FAULT Decision: Yes. a. The server breaks Rules 16 17 or 18; or b. The server misses the ball when trying to hit it; or c. The ball served touches a permanent fixture singles stick or net post before it hits the ground; or d. The ball served touches the server or server’s partner or anything the server or server’s partner is wearing or carrying. Case 1: After tossing a ball to serve the server decides not to hit it and catches it instead. Is this a fault? Decision: No. A player who tosses the ball and then decides not to hit it is allowed to catch the ball with the hand or the racket or to let the ball bounce. Case 2: During a singles match played on a court with net posts and singles sticks the ball served hits a singles stick and then hits the correct service court. Is this a fault? Decision: Yes. If the first service is a fault the server shall serve again without delay from behind the same half of the court from which that fault was served unless the service was from the wrong half. The server shall not serve until the receiver is ready. However the receiver shall play to the reasonable pace of the server and shall be ready to receive within a reasonable time of the server being ready. A receiver who attempts to return the service shall be considered as being ready. If it is demonstrated that the receiver is not ready the service cannot be called a fault. 20. SECOND SERVICE 21.

In citations for a group ( atomic group) in the present specification in a case where the group is denoted without specifying whether it is substituted or unsubstituted the group includes both a group not having a substituent and a group having a substituent. For example an "alkyl group" includes not only an alkyl group not having a substituent (unsubstituted alkyl group) but also an alkyl group having a substituent (substituted alkyl group). "Actinic rays" or "radiation" in the present specification means for example a bright line spectrum of a mercury lamp far ultraviolet rays represented by an excimer laser extreme ultraviolet rays X-rays electron beams (EB) or the like. In addition in the present invention light means actinic rays or radiation. Unless otherwise specified "exposure" in the present specification includes not only exposure by a bright line spectrum of a mercury lamp far ultraviolet rays represented by an excimer laser extreme ultraviolet rays X-rays extreme ultraviolet rays or the like but also writing by particle rays such as electron beams and ion beams.

GPC follows a method using HLC-8120 (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) TSK gel Multipore HXL-M (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation 7.8 mmIDx30.0 cm) as a column and tetrahydrofuran (THF) or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as an eluent. Hereafter the pattern forming method of the present invention will be described in detail. <Pattern Forming Method> The pattern forming method of the present invention includes: a step (1) of forming a film using an actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition (hereinafter also referred to as a "composition") including a resin (hereinafter also referred to as a "resin (A)") having an acid-decompos› able repeating unit capable of decomposing by the action of an acid to generate an acid having a pKa of 3.0 or less a step (2) of exposing the film using actinic rays or radiation and a step (3) of carrying out development using a developer including an organic solvent after the exposure to form a negative tone pattern. According to the present invention it is possible to provide a pattern forming method having excellent perfor› mance of resolution and line width roughness as well as reduction in film shrinkage (PEB shrinkage) in a PEB process particularly in the formation of an ultrafine pattern (for example a pattern having a line width of 20 nm hp or less). The reason thereof is not clear but presumed as follows for example. For example it is thought that in a case where a film is formed using a composition including a resin having an acid-decomposable repeating unit capable of decomposing by the action of an acid to generate methacrylic acid and is developed using a developer including an organic solvent after the exposure to form a negative tone pattern the developer including an organic solvent permeates into the pattern part and thus performance of resolution perfor› mance and line width roughness is deteriorated. In contrast Hereafter embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. According to the present invention it is possible to provide a pattern forming method having excellent perfor› mance of resolution and line width roughness as well as reduction in film shrinkage (PEB shrinkage) in a PEB process particularly in the formation of an ultrafine pattern (for example a pattern having a line width of 20 nm hp or less). In addition according to the present invention it is possible to provide a method for manufacturing an elec› tronic device including the pattern forming method.

The dijet angular distribution has been used to extend the limits on the quark compositeness mass scale ADD large extra dimensions and the TeV − 1 extra dimensions. The 95% C.L. lower limit on the compositeness mass scale is 2.8 TeV. The 95% C.L. lower limit for compactification mass scale in the TeV − 1 model is 1.5 TeV. The limits on the ADD large extra dimensions range from 1.9 TeV to 1.3 TeV depending on the number of extra dimensions in the HLZ formalism. The 95% C.L. in the GRW formalism is 1.6 TeV. In most cases these are the best limits to date. We thank Andrew Beretvas Kenichi Hatakeyama and Marek Zielinski for reading the manuscript and for insightful comments. [1] Gross DJ Wilczek F Phys.

Table 1 As previously stated the shear tests were performed following cyclic stretching. Results determined in connection with the full strip (3 inch X 0.75 inch) showed a maximum shear strength of 35.6N. Individual half strip 1 (1.5 inch X 0.75 inch) showed a maximum shear strength of 27.7N and individual half strip 2 (1.5 inch X 0.75 inch) showed a maximum shear strength of 22.5N. Therefore with regard to attachment strength under shear loading although the individual half strip segments had lower adhesion strength that the single full strip the combined shear strength of the two individual segments exceeded that of the single segment construct.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS CONTINUED operating experience and deep relationships in these core markets enable us to better serve our tenants increase operating efficiencies and pursue opportunities for growth. And most of our markets are outperforming others throughout the country as the supply of new office space in them has been limited. In 2002 we acquired seven office buildings totaling over 742 000 square feet for $123.5 million all in our core markets. Each of these acquisitions—including Soundview Plaza in Stamford Connecticut and 16 and 18 Sentry Park West in Blue Bell Pennsylvania—fit well into Mack-Cali’s premier suburban property portfolio. Because of the caliber of our assets our buildings are not only attractive to tenants but to buyers as well. As a result we were able to complete the sales of 13 buildings for over $163 million this year in non-core markets such as Dallas Houston Phoenix and Tampa. Building Our Tenant Base Despite the slow economy our occupancies remained strong with 92.3 percent of our portfolio leased. Our proactive early lease renewal program implemented several years ago has helped us maintain our strong tenant base. By renewing leases up to two years in advance of expiration we kept our buildings well-leased with laddered maturities and manageable rollovers even in this economic downturn. Mack-Cali’s exceptional property management is also key to keeping a well-leased portfolio.We are first and foremost real estate operators and since day one our Company has adhered to a “tenant-first” philosophy that puts us at the forefront of our industry in customer relationships.This is the reason why so many companies have made Mack-Cali their preferred provider of office space. 2

Known Limitations of NDB Cluster •A DROP TABLE or TRUNCATE TABLE operation on an NDB table frees the memory that was used by this table for re-use by any NDB table either by the same table or by another NDB table. • Limits imposed by the cluster’s configuration. •Database memory size and index memory size ( DataMemory and IndexMemory respectively). •The maximum number of operations that can be performed per transaction is set using the configuration parameters MaxNoOfConcurrentOperations and MaxNoOfLocalOperations . •Different limits related to tables and indexes. For example the maximum number of ordered indexes in the cluster is determined by MaxNoOfOrderedIndexes and the maximum number of ordered indexes per table is 16. • Node and data object maximums. The following limits apply to numbers of cluster nodes and metadata objects: •As of NDB 8.0.18 the maximum number of data nodes is 145. (Previously this was 48.) •The total maximum number of nodes in an NDB Cluster is 255. This number includes all SQL nodes (MySQL Servers) API nodes (applications accessing the cluster other than MySQL servers) data nodes and management servers. •The maximum number of metadata objects in current versions of NDB Cluster is 20320. This limit is hard-coded. 3968 23.1.7.3 Limits Relating to Transaction Handling in NDB Cluster A number of limitations exist in NDB Cluster with regard to the handling of transactions. These include the following: See Section 23.1.7.11 “Previous NDB Cluster Issues Resolved in NDB Cluster 8.0” for more information. Management and API nodes may use node IDs in the range 1 to 255 inclusive. A data node must have a node ID in the range of 1 to 144 inclusive. (In NDB 8.0.17 and earlier releases this was 1 to 48 inclusive.) Bulk loading TRUNCATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE are handled as special cases by running multiple transactions and so are not subject to this limitation. Note Note Recall that TRUNCATE TABLE drops and re-creates the table. See Section 13.1.37 “TRUNCATE TABLE Statement” . A number of hard limits exist which are configurable but available main memory in the cluster sets limits. See the complete list of configuration parameters in Section 23.3.3 “NDB Cluster Configuration Files” . Most configuration parameters can be upgraded online. These hard limits include: DataMemory is allocated as 32KB pages. As each DataMemory page is used it is assigned to a specific table; once allocated this memory cannot be freed except by dropping the table. See Section 23.3.3.6 “Defining NDB Cluster Data Nodes” for more information.

Table of Contents Index to Financial Statements Our ability to bring our Southwest Appalachia production to market will depend on a number of factors including the construction of and/or the availability of capacity on gathering systems and pipelines that we do not own. We refer you to “Marketing” within Item 1 of Part I of this Annual Report for a discussion of our gathering and transportation arrangements for Southwest Appalachia production. We limited our activities in areas beyond our assets in Appalachia during 2020 and 2019 as a result of the commodity price environment as we focused our capital allocation on these more economically competitive plays. There can be no assurance that any prospects outside of our development plays will result in viable projects or that we will not abandon our initial investments. Excluding 2 518 519 acres in New Brunswick Canada which have been subject to a government-imposed drilling moratorium since 2015 we held 9 764 net undeveloped acres for the potential development of new resources as of December 31 2020 in areas outside of Appalachia. This compares to 27 334 net undeveloped acres held at year-end 2019 excluding the New Brunswick acreage. New Brunswick Canada. We currently hold exclusive licenses to search and conduct an exploration program covering 2 518 519 net acres in New Brunswick. In 2015 the provincial government in New Brunswick imposed a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing until it is satisfied with a list of conditions. In response to this moratorium we requested and were granted an extension of its licenses to March 2021. In May 2016 the provincial government announced that the moratorium would continue indefinitely. Given this development we fully impaired our investment in New Brunswick in 2016. We are currently working with Canadian officials to extend our licenses although we cannot assure that the licenses will be extended past March 2021. Unless and until the moratorium is lifted we will not be able to develop these assets. Other Acquisitions and Divestitures In November 2020 we completed a merger with Montage Resources Corporation (the “Merger”) pursuant to which Montage merged with and into Southwestern with Southwestern continuing as the surviving company. At the effective time of the Merger we acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock in Montage in exchange for 1.8656 shares of our common stock per share of Montage common stock. The Merger expanded our footprint in Appalachia by supplementing our Northeast Appalachia and Southwest Appalachia operations and by expanding our operations into Ohio. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report for more information on the Merger. During 2019 we sold non-core acreage for $38 million. There was no production or proved reserves associated with this acreage. • The decrease in 2020 E&P capital investing as compared to the prior year resulted from reduced average well costs as well as our commitment to invest within our cash flows from operations which are heavily dependent on commodity prices supplemented by the remaining proceeds from the Fayetteville Shale sale.

Depressants are drugs that reduce the body’s functioning in many areas. These drugs lower blood pressure reduce mental processing and slow motor and reaction responses. There are several types of drugs that can cause a depressing effect on the body including tranquilizers motion sickness medication some types of stomach medication decongestants and antihistamines. The most common depressant is alcohol. Stimulants are drugs that excite the central nervous system and produce an increase in alertness and activity. Amphetamines caffeine and nicotine are all forms of stimulants. Common uses of these drugs include appetite suppression fatigue reduction and mood elevation. Some of these drugs may cause a stimulant reaction even though this reaction is not their primary function. In some cases stimulants can produce anxiety and mood swings both of which are dangerous when flying. Figure 17-9.

Tablespaces Adding Tables to a General Tablespace General Tablespace Row Format Support After creating a general tablespace CREATE TABLE tbl_name ... TABLESPACE [=] tablespace_name or ALTER TABLE tbl_name TABLESPACE [=] tablespace_name statements can be used to add tables to the tablespace as shown in the following examples: CREATE TABLE : ALTER TABLE : Support for adding table partitions to shared tablespaces was deprecated in MySQL 5.7.24 and removed in MySQL 8.0.13. Shared tablespaces include the InnoDB system tablespace and general tablespaces. For detailed syntax information see CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE . General tablespaces support all table row formats ( REDUNDANT COMPACT DYNAMIC COMPRESSED ) with the caveat that compressed and uncompressed tables cannot coexist in the same general tablespace due to different physical page sizes. For a general tablespace to contain compressed tables ( ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED ) the FILE_BLOCK_SIZE option must be specified and the FILE_BLOCK_SIZE value must be a valid compressed page size in relation to the innodb_page_size value. Also the physical page size of the compressed table ( KEY_BLOCK_SIZE ) must be equal to FILE_BLOCK_SIZE/1024 . For example if innodb_page_size=16KB and FILE_BLOCK_SIZE=8K the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE of the table must be 8. The following table shows permitted innodb_page_size FILE_BLOCK_SIZE and KEY_BLOCK_SIZE combinations. FILE_BLOCK_SIZE values may also be specified in bytes. To determine a valid KEY_BLOCK_SIZE value for a given FILE_BLOCK_SIZE divide the FILE_BLOCK_SIZE value by 1024. Table compression is not support for 32K and 64K InnoDB page sizes.

Table of Contents Pension expense is affected by the accounting policy used to determine the value of plan assets at the measurement date. The Company applies the expected return on plan assets using fair market value as of the annual measurement date. The fair market value method results in greater volatility to pension expense than the calculated value method. The amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect the fair value of the Company's long-term pension liabilities at the plan measurement date and the fair value of plan assets as of the balance sheet date.

The Company updates the mortality assumptions for the U.S. plans to incorporate the current mortality tables issued by the Society of Actuaries adjusted to reflect the Company's specific experience and future expectations. This resulted in a $1 300 000 decrease in the projected benefit obligation for the U.S. plans for the year ended December 31 2018. Certain assumptions used in computing the benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost for the U.S. and U.K. defined benefit pension plans were as follows: The discount rate assumptions reflect the rates at which the Company believes the benefit obligations could be effectively settled. The discount rates were determined based on the yield for a portfolio of investment grade corporate bonds with maturity dates matched to the estimated future payments of the plans' benefit obligations. 88 U.K. Defined Benefit Plans: 2018 2017 Discount rate used to compute benefit obligations 2.77 % 2.61 % Discount rate used to compute periodic benefit cost 2.61% 2.65% Expected long-term rates of return on plans' assets 3.98 % 4.23 % U.S. Qualified Plan: 2018 2017 Discount rate used to compute benefit obligations 4.30 % 3.63 % Discount rate used to compute periodic benefit cost 3.63% 4.15% Expected long-term rates of return on plans' assets 6.20 % 6.30 %

2 IV. THE ROLE OF THE CURRENT MASS AND THE PHASE DIAGRAM ( µ µ e ) FIG. 2: Phase diagram of neutral matter in ( µ m π ) plane. FIG. 1: The constituent quark mass M the pion condensate N and meson masses as a function of µ at T = 0 in the neutral phase for a toy value of the current quark mass m = 10 keV. In the past years a large number of the analysis about π c condensation have been performed in the chiral limit. In this section we investigate the role of the finite current quark mass in π c condensation. In order to do this we set the cutoff Λ and the coupling G to the values spec- ified above and we treat m as a free parameter. As a consequence the pion mass at µ = T = 0 m$_{π}$ in the fol- lowing is a free parameter as well. In Fig. 2 we report the phase diagram in ( µ m$_{π}$ ) plane in the neutral case. The solid line represents the border between the two regions where chiral symmetry is broken and restored. The bold dot is the critical endpoint of the first order transition. The shaded region indicates the region where π c conden- sation occurs. In the chiral limit ( m$_{π}$ = 0) our results are in good agreement with those obtained in Ref. [16]. Indeed there exist two critical values of the quark chem- ical potential µ$_{c}$$_{1}$ and µ$_{c}$$_{2}$ corresponding to the onset and vanishing of π c condensation respectively. When the current quark mass increases a shrinking of the shaded region occurs till the point µ$_{c}$$_{1}$ ≡ µ$_{c}$$_{2}$ for m c π ∼ 9 MeV corresponding to a current quark mass of m ∼ 10 keV. Hence the gapless π c condensation is extremely fragile with respect to the symmetry breaking effect of the cur- rent quark mass. As a final investigation in Fig. 3 we report the phase diagram of quark matter in the ( µ µ$_{e}$ ) plane when the current quark mass is tuned to m = 5 . 5 MeV. At each value of ( µ µ$_{e}$ ) we compute the chiral and pion condensates by minimization of the thermody- namical potential. The solid line represents the first or- der transition from the π c condensed phase to the chiral symmetry broken phase without the π c condensate. The bold dot is the critical endpoint for the first order transi- tion after which the second order transition sets in. The dashed line indicates the first order transition between the two regions where chiral symmetry is broken and restored respectively. The dot-dashed line is the neu- trality line µ neut e = µ$_{e}$ ( µ ) which is obtained by requiring the global electrical neutrality condition ∂ Ω /∂µ$_{e}$ = 0. the threshold for the onset of the condensation is found to be µ$_{e}$ = m$_{π}$ i.e. when the absolute value of the electric chemical potential equals the vacuum pion mass. We now consider neutral quark matter at µ = 0 and T = 0 and we want to study the relation between the threshold of π c condensation at finite density and the in- medium pion masses in the neutral ground state (for fur- ther recent studies at finite baryon and/or isospin chem- ical potential see also Refs. [13 14]). In Ref. [10] it is shown that at the physical point m = 5 . 5 MeV there is no room for π c condensation in the neutral phase (sim- ilar results obtained also in Ref. [15]). Even though the picture changes when the current mass is lowered for our discussion it is enough to state that we consider a current quark mass of the order of 10 keV. In Fig. 1 we plot M and N in the neutral phase as a function of µ . In this fig- ure M$_{π}$ 0 M$_{π}$ ± denote the in-medium pion masses defined by the poles of the pion propagators in the rest frame computed in the randomt phase approximation (RPA) to the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equation. The positive and negative solutions of the BS equation in ω corresponds to the excitation gaps for π + and π − which are ( M$_{π}$ + + µ$_{e}$ ) and ( M$_{π}$ − − µ$_{e}$ ) respectively. From Fig. 1 we notice that the transition to the pion condensed phase is of second order and it occurs at the point where M$_{π}$ − = µ$_{e}$ . For a more detailed mathematical discussion of the numerical results shown in Fig. 1 we refer to [9].

stationary states of the system. Branches (4) and (5) have no linear counterparts since at µ ≃ 2 . 828 × 10 − 12 eV they “collide” and disappear. The states that belong to these branches are asymmetric exhibiting two nodes. The state with larger number of atoms (for a fixed chemical potential) has one node approximately at the barrier and one node in one well. The other state has both nodes in one well. Once again the occupation number in the well with two nodes is less than the one of the well with one node so as to balance the chemical potential. Branch (6) starts from the second excited state of the linear problem hence µ → ω$_{2}$ as N → 0. Therefore the density of the respective state is symmetric and there is one node in each well. Branch (7) starts from the third excited state of the linear problem and µ → ω$_{3}$ as N → 0. The states belonging to this branch have three nodes one located in each well and one at the barrier and are symmetric. Close to the linear limit at µ ≃ 2 . 795 × 10 − 12 eV two asymmetric three-soliton branches namely branch (8) and its mirror image with respect to the z = 0 axis bifurcate from this state. This state has two nodes in one well and one in the other. The occupation number in the well with more nodes is smaller than in the well with just one node in order to balance the chemical potential. Notice that there exist two more three-soliton branches without linear counterparts but they only occur at higher chemical potentials — where the BEC has occupied four-wells rather than two — so they will not be considered here. Next let us study the stability of the states belonging to the above mentioned branches by considering the respective excitation spectra shown in Fig. 2. In this figure the (blue) ⋇ symbol denotes a positive Krein sign mode (or a zero one for a vanishing frequency) the (green) × symbol a negative Krein sign mode i.e. a negative energy anomalous mode and the (red) (+) symbol a vanishing Krein sign i.e. an eigenmode associated with com- plex/imaginary eigenfrequency. Generally speaking there are two different kinds of insta- bility corresponding to the cases of either a purely imaginary eigenfrequency or a genuinely complex eigenfrequency. The latter case gives rise to the so-called oscillatory instability stemming from the collision of a negative energy mode with one of positive energy. The first panel of Fig. 2 shows the BdG spectra along the first branch. The imaginary part is zero for every value of the chemical potential a fact reflecting the stability of this state. The absence of negative energy modes is expected as this state is actually the ground 11

PART I Year ended December 31 2008 2009 2010 NT$ NT$ NT$ (in billions) Broadband access revenues: Broadband access (ADSL and FTTx) 20.0 19.9 20.3 We provide FTTx internet services with downlink speeds of 10 20 50 and 100 Mbps in 2010. The number of our FTTx customers increased significantly in 2008 2009 and 2010 as prices became more affordable coverage areas expanded and customer demand for higher bandwidth heightened. Many of new FTTx customers have migrated from using our HiNet dial-up and ADSL internet services. Of the approximately 2.04 million FTTx customers as of December 31 2010 approximately 84.8% were those that migrated from our ADSL services. We also provide FTTx access services to other internet service providers that do not have their own network infrastructure and as a result our FTTx customers also include some customers that only use us for the FTTx data access line and choose another ISP to provide internet services. Of the approximately 2.04 million FTTx customers as of December 31 2010 approximately 1.8 million were also our HiNet subscribers. We currently offer various promotional packages to encourage more migration of our HiNet dial-up and ADSL subscribers to our FTTx service. As of December 31 2010 44.4% of HiNet subscribers accessed the internet through our FTTx service and we expect this ratio to increase in the future as a result of these promotional measures. Our market share of Taiwan’s broadband market was approximately 83.8% 83.0% and 80.5% in 2008 2009 and 2010 respectively. The following table sets forth our broadband service customers as of each of the dates indicated. Our ADSL service offers downlink speeds that range from 256 kilobits per second to 8 Mbps and uplink speeds that range from 64 kilobits per second to 640 Kbps. In December 2001 we began providing symmetrical digital service with uplink and downlink speeds of 512 kilobits per second. After our promotions in 2004 to increase customer access speeds including our promotions for customers to upgrade to higher-speed access the average uplink and downlink speeds of our customers have increased substantially. In 2010 we offered ADSL low speed customers a free upgrade to high speed ADSL service. As of December 31 2010 approximately 84% of our customers had subscribed for downlink speeds of over 2 Mbps and our average downlink speed was 6.1 Mbps. Our FTTx service offers downlink speeds of 10 20 50 and 100 Mbps matched with uplink speeds of 2 2 3 and 5 Mbps respectively. We have experienced competition in the ADSL and FTTx service market from other fixed line operators and cable operators. Our strategy is to continue the migration of ADSL subscribers to FTTx so as to increase the average revenue per user. In addition in order to strengthen customer loyalty we have provided free speed upgrades for ADSL customers who were using lower speed services since August 2010. Due to the aforementioned initiatives we were able to maintain the number of our broadband subscribers. Our revenues from providing internet access are generated from installation fees monthly subscription fees and usage fees from fixed line telephone calls made by dial-up customers to access HiNet which are recorded as domestic data services revenues rather than as local revenues. Usage fees from fixed line telephone calls made to access internet service providers other than HiNet are recorded as local revenues. 28 As of December 31 2008 2009 2010 ADSL service customers (in thousands) 3 241 2 666 2 329 FTTx service customers (in thousands) 1 070 1 638 2 045 Average downlink speed (Mbps) 4.33 5.1 6.1

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Non-IFRS Measures Alaris’ public communications often include written or oral statements which contain forward-looking information. Statements of this type are included in this annual report and may be included in our other filings with Canadian securities regulators or in our other communications. Many of these statements can be identified by looking for words such as “believe” “expects” “will” “intends” “projects” “anticipates” “estimates” “continues” or similar words or the negative of such words. All such statements are made pursuant to the applicable provisions of and are intended to be forward-looking statements under applicable Canadian securities legislation. Statements containing forward-looking information include but are not limited to comments with respect to our objectives and priorities for 2012 and beyond our growth strategies or future actions the future actions and expected funding requirements of our Private Company Partners (as described herein) and the results of or outlook for our operations and those of our Private Company Partners or for the Canadian and U.S. economies. By their nature forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and U.S. economies in 2012 and how that will affect our business and our ability to identify and close new opportunities with new Private Company Partners are material factors we considered when setting our strategic priorities and objectives and our outlook for our business. Key assumptions include but are not limited to assumptions that the Canadian and U.S. economies will continue to grow moderately in 2012; that interest rates will remain low; that our Private Company Partners will continue to make distributions to Alaris as and when required; that the businesses of our Private Company Partners will continue to grow; that Alaris will experience positive resets to our annual royalties and distributions from our Private Company Partners in 2012; that tax rates and tax laws will not change significantly in Canada the U.S. or the Netherlands; that more private companies will require access to alternative sources of capital; and that we will have the ability to raise required equity and/or debt financing on acceptable terms. We have also assumed that capital markets will continue to improve and that the Canadian dollar will strengthen modestly relative to the U.S. dollar. In determining our expectations for economic growth we primarily consider historical economic data provided by the Canadian and U.S. governments and their agencies. There is a significant risk that our predictions forecasts conclusions or projections will not prove to be accurate that our assumptions may not be correct and that actual results may differ materially from such predictions forecasts conclusions or projections. Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable we caution readers of this Annual Report not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements as a number of factors could cause actual future results conditions actions or events to differ materially from the targets expectations estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements. The future outcomes that relate to forward-looking statements may be influenced by many factors including but not limited to those factors listed under the heading “ Risks & Uncertainty ” in our Management Discussion and Analysis herein. We caution that this list of risk factors is not exhaustive. Other factors could adversely affect our results. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Alaris investors and others should carefully consider these factors as well as other uncertainties and potential events and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements. Alaris does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements whether written or oral that may be made from time to time by the organization or on its behalf except as required by law. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are presented for the purpose of assisting our investors in understanding our operations prospects risks and other external factors that impact us specifically as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The terms “EBITDA” and “distributable cash” (the “Non-IFRS Measures”) are financial measures used in this Annual Report that are not standard measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Alaris’ method of calculating the Non-IFRS Measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore the Alaris’ Non-IFRS Measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. EBITDA refers to net earnings (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS before depreciation and amortization net of gain or loss on disposal of capital assets interest expense and income tax expense. EBITDA is used by Management and many investors to determine the ability of an issuer to generate cash from operations. Management believes EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine our ability to generate cash available for debt service working capital capital expenditures income taxes and dividends. Distributable Cash means Alaris’ net income prepared in accordance with IFRS excluding non-cash items that include stock-based compensation expense future income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Therefore we have that sup t ≥ 0 || ˜ Π w $^{1}$( t ) − ˜ Π w $^{2}$( t ) || ≤ α$_{2}$ sup t ≥ 0 || w $^{1}$( t ) − w $^{2}$( t ) || . Since α$_{2}$ < 1 one can conclude by using a contraction mapping argument that there exists a unique fixed point ˜ w ( t ) = { ˜ w$_{ij}$ ( t ) } of the operator ˜ Π : Ψ$_{δ}$ → Ψ$_{δ}$ which is a solution of (4.10). To complete the proof we need to show that there does not exist a solution of (4.10) with σ = 0 different from ˜ w ( t ) . Suppose that θ$_{p}$ ≤ 0 < θ$_{p}$$_{+1}$ for some p ∈ Z . Assume that there exists a solution w ( t ) = { w$_{ij}$ ( t ) } of (4.10) different from ˜ w ( t ) . Denote by z ( t ) = { z$_{ij}$ ( t ) } the difference w ( t ) − ˜ w ( t ) and let max t ∈ [0 θ$_{p}$$_{+1}$ ] || z ( t ) || = ¯ m. It can be verified for t ∈ [0 θ$_{p}$$_{+1}$ ] that The last inequality yields ‖ z ( t ) ‖ ≤ α$_{3}$ ¯ m. Because α$_{3}$ < 1 we obtain a contradiction. Therefore w ( t ) = ˜ w ( t ) for t ∈ [0 θ$_{p}$$_{+1}$ ] . Utilizing induction one can easily prove the uniqueness for all t ≥ 0 . □ Remark 4.1 In the proof of Theorem 4.1 we make use of the contraction mapping principle to prove the exponential stability. In the literature Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals LMI technique free weighting matrix method and differential inequality technique were used to investigate the exponential stability in neural networks [12 54 57].

the gap δE gradually decreases with the increase of the width N and beyond a certain value of N the rate of decrease of this gap becomes much small and eventually it ( δE ) becomes almost a constant. Quite similar feature is also observed if we plot the variation of the energy gap as a function of the length M keeping the width N as a constant and due to the obvious reason we do not plot these re- sults further in the present description.

The sharpness in the I - V characteristics and the current amplitude solely depend on the coupling strengths of the ribbon to the side attached electrodes viz source and drain. It is observed that in the limit of weak coupling defined by the condition τ$_{S}$$_{(}$$_{D}$$_{)}$ << t current shows staircase like structure with sharp steps. While in the strong coupling limit described by the condi- tion τ$_{S}$$_{(}$$_{D}$$_{)}$ ∼ t current varies quite continuously with the bias voltage V and achieves large current amplitude compared to the weak-coupling limit. All these coupling effects have already been explained All these basic features of electron transfer can be much more clearly explained from our investi- gation of the current-voltage ( I - V ) characteristics rather than the conductance-energy spectra. The current I is determined from the integration proce- dure of the transmission function ( T ) (see Eq. 8) where the function T varies exactly similar to the conductance spectra differ only in magnitude by a 6

Subsequently our Progressive Series created a spectrum of loan programs designed to meet borrowers’ varying credit profiles and loan re- quirements. The Progressive Series incorporated more flexible risk-based underwriting guidelines and competitive pricing while maintaining prudent investment parameters. The philosophy of the Progressive Series is that no single borrower characteristic should automatically determine whether an application for a mortgage loan is approved or denied. The “Progressive Express TM ” Series with its one-page streamlined application no income or asset verification requirement and same-day credit approval has been our most innovative product to date. The concept is to underwrite loans focusing on the borrower’s Fair Issac’s Credit Score (FICO) an electronic evaluation of past and present accounts on the borrower’s credit bureau report. The borrower’s ability and willingness to repay the mortgage loan obligation and an assessment of the adequacy of the mortgage property as collateral for the loan also figure highly in the credit approval process. At Impac we continuously seek new ways to better serve and command a growing share of the non- conforming mortgage loan industry. We are finding ways to complete transactions better and faster. Our products meet a wide spectrum of borrowers’ needs prove more profitable for our customers and ultimate- ly we believe will deliver consistent reliable earnings for our shareholders.

ON GENERALIZED MAX-LINEAR MODELS IN MAX-STABLE RANDOM FIELDS 3 It is well known (e.g. de Haan and Resnick (1977) Pickands (1981) Falk et al. (2011)) that a rv ( η$_{1}$ . . . η$_{d}$ ) is a standard max-stable rv iff there exists a rv ( Z$_{1}$ . . . Z$_{d}$ ) and some number c ≥ 1 with Z$_{i}$ ∈ [0 c ] almost surely (a. s.) and E ( Z$_{i}$ ) = 1 i = 1 . . . d such that for all x = ( x$_{1}$ . . . x$_{d}$ ) ≤ 0 ∈ R d The condition Z$_{i}$ ∈ [0 c ] a. s. can be weakened to P ( Z$_{i}$ ≥ 0) = 1. Note that ‖·‖$_{D}$ defines a norm on R $^{d}$ called D -norm with generator Z . The D means dependence: We have independence of the margins of X iff ‖·‖$_{D}$ equals the norm ‖ x ‖$_{1}$ = ∑ d i $_{=1}$| x$_{i}$ | which is generated by ( Z$_{1}$ . . . Z$_{d}$ ) being a random permutation of the vector ( d 0 . . . 0). We have complete dependence of the margins of X iff ‖·‖$_{D}$ is the maximum-norm ‖ x ‖$_{∞}$ = max$_{1}$$_{≤}$$_{i}$$_{≤}$$_{d}$ | x$_{i}$ | which is generated by the constant vector ( Z$_{1}$ . . . Z$_{d}$ ) = (1 . . . 1). We refer to Falk et al. (2011 Section 4.4) for further details of D -norms. Let S be a compact metric space. A standard max-stable process η = ( η$_{t}$ )$_{t}$$_{∈}$$_{S}$ with sample paths in ¯ C $^{−}$( S ) := { g ∈ C ( S ) : g ≤ 0 } is in what follows shortly called a standard max-stable process (SMSP). Denote further by E ( S ) the set of those bounded functions f ∈ R S that have only a finite number of discontinuities and define ¯ E $^{−}$( S ) := { f ∈ E ( S ) : f ≤ 0 } . We know from Gin´ e et al. (1990) that a process η = ( η$_{t}$ )$_{t}$$_{∈}$$_{S}$ with sample paths in C ( S ) is an SMSP iff there exists a stochastic process Z = ( Z$_{t}$ )$_{t}$$_{∈}$$_{S}$ realizing in ¯ C $^{+}$( S ) := { g ∈ C ( S ) : g ≥ 0 } and some c ≥ 1 such that Z$_{t}$ ≤ c a. s. E ( Z$_{t}$ ) = 1 t ∈ S and Note that ‖·‖$_{D}$ defines a norm on the function space E ( S ) again called D -norm with generator process Z . The functional D -norm is topologically equivalent to the sup-norm ‖ f ‖$_{∞}$ = sup$_{t}$$_{∈}$$_{S}$ | f ( t ) | which is itself a D -norm by putting Z$_{t}$ = 1 t ∈ S see Aulbach et al. (2013) for details. P ( η$_{1}$ ≤ x$_{1}$ . . . η$_{d}$ ≤ x$_{d}$ ) = exp ( − ‖ x ‖$_{D}$ ) := exp ( − E ( max i =1 $_{ ... d}$( | x$_{i}$ | Z$_{i}$ ) )) . P ( η ≤ f ) = exp ( − ‖ f ‖$_{D}$ ) := exp ( − E ( sup t ∈ S ( | f ( t ) | Z$_{t}$ ) )) f ∈ ¯ E $^{−}$( S ) .

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS THE NUMBER 1 CURE FOR THE GREATEST KILLER OF CHILDREN After the critical early weeks of life for a newborn baby automobile crashes are the leading cause of death for American children with tens of thousands more children being seriously injured. Small children unless they are properly restrained become flying missiles until a stationary object stops their forward progress. It is a tragic fact that most deaths and injuries resulting from automobile crashes could have been avoided if parents had taken the time to properly buckle up their children in an approved child restraint system. There are many types of child restraint systems available at department stores children’s shops and even through some mail order catalogs. Shop around for the car seat that will best suit your child and your car before your baby is born. Insure your baby’s first ride home from the hospital is a SAFE ride!

A M P H E N O L C O R P O R A T I O N 2 0 0 4 A N N U A L R E P O R T Business Strategy The Company's strategic objective is to further enhance its position as a leading global designer manufacturer and marketer of connectors interconnect systems and cable products. The Company seeks to achieve this objective by pursuing the following strategies: y Continue to Develop Application-Speci fi c Interconnect Solutions for OEMs. The Company seeks to expand the scope and number of its preferred supplier designations and application-speci fi c product opportunities with OEM and original design customers. The Company works closely with its network of such customers at the design stage to create and manufacture innovative solutions to meet customers' speci fi c interconnection needs. The application-speci fi c products designed and manufactured for OEMs and original design customers generally have higher value-added content than other interconnect products and have been developed across all of the Company's product lines. In addition to solidifying its relationship with OEMs and providing a source of high value added sales this product development strategy has a number of important ancillary bene fi ts. For example once an application-speci fi c product has been developed for a particular OEM customer the new product often becomes widely accepted in the industry for similar applications. Thereafter the demand for these new products grows as they become incorporated into products manufactured by other potential customers thereby providing additional sources of revenue. y Expand Product Lines. The Company's product line strategy is to provide a complete product offering in its focus markets. Management believes that it is very important to continually develop the breadth and depth of Amphenol's product lines in order to maintain its designation as a preferred supplier with many OEM original design and electronic manufacturing services customers. By expanding its product lines the Company is able to leverage its extensive customer relationships to cross-sell additional interconnect products. Moreover given that many OEMs and other customers are reducing the size of their supplier base Amphenol believes that the expansion of its product lines with new value added integrated solutions helps to further solidify its importance to existing customers and enables it to effectively market products to new customers. y Expand Global Presence. The Company intends to further expand its global manufacturing engineering sales and service operations to better serve its existing client base penetrate developing markets and establish new customer relationships. As the Company's multinational OEM original design and electronic manufacturing services customers expand their international operations to access developing world markets and lower manufacturing and labor costs in certain regions the Company 10

Available Information Item 1A. Risk Factors Adverse economic conditions a reduction in client spending a deterioration in the credit markets or a delay in client payments could have a material effect on our business results of operations and financial position. In an economic downturn the risk of a material loss related to media purchases and production costs incurred on behalf of our clients could significantly increase and methods for managing or mitigating such risk may be less available or unavailable. Clients periodically review and change their advertising marketing and corporate communications requirements and relationships. If we are unable to remain competitive or retain key clients our business results of operations and financial position may be adversely affected. The loss of several of our largest clients could have a material adverse effect on our business results of operations and financial position. 3 We file annual quarterly and current reports and any amendments to those reports proxy statements and other information with the SEC. Documents we file with the SEC are available free of charge on our website at http://investor.omnicomgroup.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is filed with the SEC. The information included on or available through our website is not part of this or any other report we file with the SEC. Any document that we file with the SEC is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Economic conditions have a direct impact on our business results of operations and financial position. Adverse global or regional economic conditions pose a risk that clients may reduce postpone or cancel spending on advertising marketing and corporate communications projects. Such actions would reduce the demand for our services and could result in a reduction in our revenue which would adversely affect our business results of operations and financial position. A contraction in the availability of credit may make it more difficult for us to meet our working capital requirements. In addition a disruption in the credit markets could adversely affect our clients and could cause them to delay payment for our services or take other actions that would negatively affect our working capital. In such circumstances we may need to obtain additional financing to fund our day-to-day working capital requirements which may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Even if we take action to respond to adverse economic conditions reductions in revenue and disruptions in the credit markets by aligning our cost structure and more efficiently managing our working capital such actions may not be effective. In the normal course of business our agencies enter into contractual commitments with media providers and production companies on behalf of our clients at levels that can substantially exceed the revenue from our services. These commitments are included in accounts payable when the services are delivered by the media providers or production companies. If permitted by local law and the client agreement many of our agencies purchase media and production services for our clients as an agent for a disclosed principal. In addition while operating practices vary by country media type and media vendor in the United States and certain foreign markets many of our agencies’ contracts with media and production providers specify that our agencies are not liable to the media and production providers under the theory of sequential liability until and to the extent we have been paid by our client for the media or production services. Where purchases of media and production services are made by our agencies as a principal or are not subject to the theory of sequential liability the risk of a material loss as a result of payment default by our clients could increase significantly and such a loss could have a material adverse effect on our business results of operations and financial position. In addition our methods of managing the risk of payment default including obtaining credit insurance requiring payment in advance mitigating the potential loss in the marketplace or negotiating with media providers may be less available or unavailable during a severe economic downturn. We operate in a highly competitive industry. Key competitive considerations for retaining existing clients and winning new clients include our ability to develop solutions that meet client needs in a rapidly changing environment the quality and effectiveness of our services and our ability to serve clients efficiently particularly large multinational clients on a broad geographic basis. While many of our client relationships are long-standing from time to time clients put their advertising marketing and corporate communications business up for competitive review. We have won and lost accounts as a result of these reviews. To the extent that we are not able to remain competitive or retain key clients our revenue may be adversely affected which could have a material adverse effect on our business results of operations and financial position. In 2019 our 100 largest clients represented approximately 51% of our revenue. Clients generally are able to reduce or cancel current or future spending on advertising marketing and corporate communications projects at any time on short notice for any reason.

Strong non-manipulability. The definition of strong non-manipulability appeals to a topo- logical notion of ‘large’ set of distribution as a co-meager set. The goal of the definition is to capture the idea that regardless of the strategy he uses to creates forecasts the unin- formed expert will fail on a large set of stochastic processes. This definition has been used in the expert testing literature but we recognize that such topological notion has well-known drawbacks. In particular it does not indicate odds of discrediting the uninformed expert. We view the main contribution of our theorem to be the very fact that there exists a test which is not manipulable. The strong non-manipulability property is a bonus. De-Finetti’s Theorem. For every λ ∈ Δ([0 1]) let ε$_{λ}$ ∈ Δ( { 0 1 } $^{N}$) be the distribution of infinite sequence of i.i.d coins with probability q of success where q is drawn from λ : Clearly the distribution ε$_{λ}$ is exchangeable. De-Finetti’s Theorem states that the map λ ∈ Δ([0 1]) ↦→ ε$_{λ}$ is one-to-one and onto the set Γ of exchangeable distributions over { 0 1 } $^{N}$ and its inverse is given by µ ∈ Γ ↦→ ¯ µ ∈ Δ([0 1]) where ¯ µ ∈ Δ([0 1]) is the push-forward of µ under L (i.e. ¯ µ ( B ) = µ ( L − $^{1}$( B )) for every Borel subset B of [0 1]) and L : { 0 1 } N → [0 1] is the limit average Since the map λ ↦→ ε$_{λ}$ is continuous and its domain Δ([0 1]) is compact it follows that the maps λ ↦→ ε$_{λ}$ and µ ↦→ ¯ µ are homeomorphisms. A non-manipulable test. Our proof uses the following proposition. Proposition 3. Let Q be a compact metric space and let Δ( Q ) be equipped with the weak- ∗ topology. There exists a Borel function t : Δ( Q ) × Q → { FAIL PASS } such that 9 (5) L ( s$_{0}$ s$_{1}$ . . . ) = lim sup n →∞ ( s$_{0}$ + · · · + s$_{n}$$_{−}$$_{1}$ ) /n.

Actually two distinct energy scales 2 Δ ∗ and E$_{res}$ are involved in a marked contrast with the conventional superconductors: 2 Δ ∗ arises from the anti-ferromagnetic N´eel order parameter N which is respon- sible for pairing with its coupling strength decreasing almost linearly with doping whereas E$_{res}$ = 2 Δ$_{p}$ which is respon- sible for condensation. Therefore E$_{res}$ must scale with the superconducting transition temperature T$_{c}$ i.e. E$_{res}$ ∼ k$_{B}$T$_{c}$ with k$_{B}$ being the Boltzmann constant [see Fig. 1 right panel]. Similarly 2 Δ ∗ scales as 2 Δ ∗ ∼ k$_{B}$T $^{∗}$ with T ∗ being the so- called pseudogap temperature [13 14]. In addition one may expect that E$_{res}$ < 2 Δ$_{d}$ simply due to the fact that the pre- dominant d -wave superconducting component survives ther- mal fluctuations. Considering that both the superconductin g gap Δ$_{d}$ and the transition temperature T$_{c}$ characterize the su- perconductivity they should track each other in the entire dop- ing range implying Δ$_{d}$ ∼ k$_{B}$T$_{c}$ . In fact for the t − J model our simulation indicates that E$_{res}$ ≈ 1 . 25 Δ$_{d}$ [9].

This naturally results in a crossover from the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) regime to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrie ff er (BCS) regime as conjectured in Ref. [15] which in turn is essentially equivalent to the phase fluctuation picture proposed by Emery and Kivelson [16]. However there is an important di ff erence: the superconduc- tivity weakens in the heavily underdoped regime not only be- cause of the loss of phase coherence but also because of the decrease of the superconducting gap Δ$_{d}$ with underdoping.

We em- phasize that the pseudogap near the antinodal region does not characterize a precursor to the superconducting state in the sense that the pseudogap smoothly evolves into the supercon- ducting gap at 13 30 31]. Instead it coexists with the superconducting gap of the -wave symmetry in the su- perconducting state. More likely a precursor pairing occurs in the nodal region [32] with its onset temperature lower than but above which may be identified with the Nernst regime [33 34]. As observed the superconducting gap near the nodes scales as 29]. This makes a strong case for our argument if one takes into account the smallness of the -wave superconducting gap. On the other hand ample evi- dence has been accumulated over the years for the universal scaling relation res valid for both soft modes i.e. the spin-triplet resonance mode in inelastic neutron scattering experiments [35 36 37 38 39 40 41] and the spin-singlet mode observed as a peak in electronic Raman scatter- ing [21 42 43 44 45 46] respectively. The experimentally determined is around 6 quite close to our theoretical es- timate. This presents a possible resolution to the mysterious problem [42]: the mode is a charge collective mode as a bound state of (quasiparticle) singlet pairs originating from (heavily) overdoped regime as a consequence of the evolution of the Fermi arcs in the underdoped regime to a large Fermi surface in the (heavily) overdoped regime [30 31]. We em- phasize that the pseudogap near the antinodal region does not characterize a precursor to the superconducting state in the sense that the pseudogap smoothly evolves into the supercon- ducting gap at T$_{c}$ [13 30 31]. Instead it coexists with the superconducting gap of the d + s -wave symmetry in the su- perconducting state. More likely a precursor pairing occurs in the nodal region [32] with its onset temperature lower than T ∗ but above T$_{c}$ which may be identified with the Nernst regime [33 34]. As observed the superconducting gap near the nodes scales as k$_{B}$T$_{c}$ [29]. This makes a strong case for our argument if one takes into account the smallness of the s -wave superconducting gap. On the other hand ample evi- dence has been accumulated over the years for the universal scaling relation E$_{res}$ = κ k$_{B}$T$_{c}$ valid for both soft modes i.e. the spin-triplet resonance mode in inelastic neutron scattering experiments [35–41] and the spin-singlet mode observed as a A$_{1}$$_{g}$ peak in electronic Raman scattering [21 42–46] respec- tively. The experimentally determined κ is around 6 quite close to our theoretical estimate. This presents a possible res- olution to the mysterious A$_{1}$$_{g}$ problem [42]: the A$_{1}$$_{g}$ mode is a charge collective mode as a bound state of (quasiparticle) singlet pairs originating from the fluctuating p$_{x}$ ( p$_{y}$ )-wave su- perconducting order. Second is the pairing symmetry really of d + s -wave na- First let us focus on the two distinct energy scales 2 Δ ∗ and E$_{res}$ . Physically the two distinct energy scales mea- sure respectively the pairing strength and the coherence of the superfluid condensate. This naturally leads to two di ff er- ent phases: one is characterized by incoherent pairing which may be identified with the pseudogap phase; the other is as- sociated with the emergence of a coherent condensate of su- perconducting pairs which may be identified with the super- conducting phase of d + s -wave symmetry [see Fig. 2]. Evi- dence for the two distinct energy scales was reported in angle- resolved photoemission spectra [17–20] electronic Raman spectra [21–24] scanning tunneling microscopy [25] c -axis conductivity [26] Andreev reflection [27] magnetic penet ra- tion depth [28] and other probes (for a review see Ref. [29]. Actually these studies indicate that the gap near the antinodal region which is identified as the pseudogap does not scale with T$_{c}$ in the underdoped regime whereas the gap near the nodal region may be identified as the superconducting order parameter in the cuprates [17–23]. This identification o ff ers a natural explanation why the two distinct energy scales in the underdoped regime merge into one single energy scale in the and $_{res}$. the superfluid condensate.

Draft Document for Review February 7 2020 3:15 pm 8464ch02_Architecture.fm The TS7700 with SAA function activated uses policy management with z/OS host software to direct scratch allocations to specific clusters within a multi-cluster grid. The Management Class construct determines which clusters should be used for a workload when SAA is enabled by using the LI REQ DEVALLOC command. In a stand-alone environment the mount is directed to the virtual drives of this cluster. In a grid environment specific mounts are more advanced. For more information see 2.4.12 “Mounting a specific virtual volume” on page 71. In the stand-alone environment the following scenarios are possible: 2.2.6 Mounting a specific virtual volume GLYPH<SM590000> A valid copy exists in the TVC. In this case the mount completes quickly and the host can access the data immediately. GLYPH<SM590000> A valid copy does not exist in the TVC. In this case the following options are available: – If it is a TS7700T the volume exists in CP1-CP7 and was copied to physical tape. The virtual volume also is recalled from a stacked volume. Mount completion is signaled to the host system only after the entire volume is available in the TVC. – If it is a TS7700C the volume exists in CP1-CP7 and was copied to an object store. The virtual volume also is recalled from the cloud tier. Mount completion is signaled to the host system only after the entire volume is available in the TVC. – Assuming a stand-alone cluster if no consis tent copy exists in disk cache or within attached tape or cloud the mount fails. If in a grid a peer’s TVC can be chosen as well. Any recalled virtual volume remains in the TVC until it becomes the least recently used (LRU) volume unless the volume was assigned a Preference Group of 0 or the Recalls Preferred to be Removed from Cache override is enabled by using the TS7700 Library Request command. If a recalled volume is modified the new instance of the volume is premigrated to tape or cloud and the previous instance is invalidated. If the recalled volume is not modified no premigration occurs unless a pool configuration change occurred as part of the mount. For example if the primary or secondary pool changes as part of a mount operation a premigration occurs to one or both pools. Any instance in a previous pool is invalidated. Furthermore copies to remote TS7700 clusters in a grid configuration are not required if modifications were not made unless the Management Class also changed and retain copy modes is not enabled. Any specific or private mount must target a logical volume that is assigned to a non-scratch category. The tape management system (TMS) prevents a scratch volume from being mounted in response to a specific mount request. Also the TS7700 treats any specific mount that targets a volume that is assigned to a scratch category which is also configured through the MI as scratch. If this process occurs the temporary tape header is created and no recalls take place. The DFSMS Removable Media Manager (DFSMSrmm) or other TMS likely fail the mount operation because the expected last written data set for the private volume was not found. Because no write operation occurs the original volume’s contents are left intact which accounts for categories that are incorrectly configured as scratch within the MI. 34 IBM TS7700 Release 5.0 Guide

10 side-band peak. This energy difference should be equal to the vibron energy ω$_{0}$ as it is given by exact MCIST calculations. Note that the limits of BA-based calcula- tions were also been studied by Lee et al. in a somewhat different context in Ref. [60]. In conclusion this means that Hartree-Fock (or BA) based calculations for electron-vibron interaction are only valid for weak coupling as can be expected from a perturbation-expansion based theory. Hence one needs to include higher-order diagrams in the electron-vibron self- energies to go beyond the commonly-used self-consistent Born approximation (Hartree-Fock) in order to obtain correct results for a wide range of parameters. The ef- fects of the higher-order diagrams (here second-order-DX and DPH diagrams) are explored in detail in the follow- ing sections. Additionally although MCIST calculations are only valid in the off-resonant transport regime at and near equilibrium they include all possible higher-order dia- grams (with bare vibron propagator) and hence can be used as a reference for any perturbation-expansion-based NEGF calculations performed at equilibrium or in the quasi-equilibrium regime. In this section we present results for the spectral func- tions when the second-order diagrams (see Figure 3) are included in the calculations of the Green’s functions. The reader can find more information about the mathemati- cal expressions for the self-energies corresponding to the second-order diagrams in Appendix A. These diagrams fall into two types—the double- exchange DX diagram corresponding to vertex correc- tions and the dressed vibron diagram which includes a single electron-hole bubble renormalizing the vibron propagator and hence giving rise to polarization effects. We have used three different levels of approximation to calculate these Green’s functions: Firstly calcula- tions with no self-consistency—the Green’s functions are simply calculated using the diagrams in Figure 2 and Figure 3 using the bare propagator G$_{0}$ as the electron Green’s function. In our model G$_{0}$ is the Green’s func- tion of the central region connected to the leads with no electron-vibron interactions. This is a first-order pertur- bation expansion for which Σ H F DX and / or DP e -vib [ G$_{0}$ ]. We use the abbreviations BA (Born approximation for non self-consistent Hartree and Fock diagrams) and BA+DX (DX for double exchange) and BA+DX+DPH (DPH for dressed vibron for the GW -like diagram) in the follow- ing. of the resonant transport regime (i.e. vibron side-band peaks on both sides of the main peak). This is essentially due to the fact that in MCIST one does not take prop- erly into account the statistics of the Fermi seas of the left and right leads. See for example Eqs. (28) and (29) there are no leads’ Fermi distributions in the retarded component of the leads’ self-energies Σ r $_{L R}$. Now comparing BA-based calculations with the exact MCIST calculations one can see from figure 9 that the BA-based calculations give the wrong polaron shift i.e. the normalized position of the main peak ε$_{0}$ especially in the strong electron-vibron coupling regime. Further- more BA-based calculations also give the wrong energy separation between the main peak and the first vibron Secondly we perform partly self-consistent calcula- tions where the Green’s functions are calculated with the first loop of self-consistent calculations with the Hartree and Fock diagrams. We use these Green’s functions as a starting point to calculate new corrected Green’s func- FIG. 9: (Color online) Equilibrium off-resonant spectral func- tions calculated with the MCIST technique and NEGF-SCBA for the off-resonant regime. The upper panel shows results for weak electron-vibron coupling ( γ 0 /ω 0 = 0 . 5) while the lower panel shows results for strong electron-vibron coupling ( γ 0 /ω 0 = 0 . 8). MCIST calculations give exact results in this case and can also be performed at the same level of approx- imation as SCBA (see main text for details). MCIST-SCBA and NEGF-SCBA are virtually identical but show large dis- crepancies for the peak positions (main peak and more espe- cially for the vibron side-band peaks) in comparison to the exact results.

POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Defined contribution plans Defi ned benefi t plans C. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date considering all its inherent risks and uncertainties as well as the time value of money. The unwinding of the effect of discounting is recorded in the income statement as an interest expense. based on the market yields for high-quality corporate bonds on the balance sheet date. Plan assets are qualifying insurance policies and assets held by long-term employee benefit funds that can only be used to pay the employee benefits under the plan and are not available to the Group’s creditors. They are measured at fair value and are deducted in determining the amount recognized on the balance sheet. With the exception of insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation features for which potential future losses are already considered in establishing the liability a provision is recognized for onerous contracts in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the resulting obligations exceed the expected future economic benefits. The cost of the plans is determined at the beginning of the year based on the prevalent actuarial assumptions discount rate and expected return on plan assets. Changes in assumptions discount rate and experience adjustments are not charged to the income statement in the period in which they occur but are deferred. A liability is recognized for the undiscounted amount of short- term employee absences benefits expected to be paid within one year after the end of the period in which the service was rendered. Accumulating short-term absences are recognized over the period in which the service is provided. Benefits that are not service-related are recognized when the event that gives rise to the obligation occurs. The unrecognized actuarial gains and losses are amortized in a straight line over the average remaining working life of the employees covered by the plan to the extent that the gains or losses exceed the corridor limits. The corridor is defined as ten percent of the greater of the defined benefit obligation or the plan assets. The amortization charge is reassessed at the beginning of each year. The corridor approach described above was not applied retrospectively to periods prior to the transition to IFRS (January 1 2004). The Group has issued defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. A plan is classified as a defined contribution plan when the Group has no further obligation than the payment of a fixed contribution. All other plans are classified as defined benefit plans. The contribution payable to a defined contribution plan for services provided is recognized as an expense in the income statement. An asset is recognized to the extent that the contribution paid exceeds the amount due for services provided. The defined benefit obligation is based on the terms and conditions of the plan applicable on the balance sheet date. Plan improvements are charged directly to the income statement unless they are conditional on the continuation of employment. In this case the related cost is deducted from the liability as past service cost and amortized over the vesting period. In measuring the defined benefit obligation the Group uses the projected unit credit method and actuarial assumptions that represent the best estimate of future variables. The benefits are discounted using an interest rate The Group has issued share-based plans that entitle employees to receive equity instruments issued by the Group or cash payments based on the price of AEGON N.V. common shares. Some plans provide employees of the Group with the choice of settlement. For share option plans that are equity-settled the expense recognized is based on the fair value on the grant date of the share options which does not reflect any performance conditions other than conditions linked to the price of the Group’s shares. The cost is recognized in the income statement together with a corresponding increase in shareholders’ equity as the services are rendered. During this period the cumulative expense recognized at the reporting date reflects management’s best estimate of the number of shares expected to vest ultimately. Share appreciation right plans are initially recognized at fair value at the grant date taking into account the terms and conditions on which the instruments were granted. The fair value is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured at each SHARPENING OUR FOCUS

Changes in the Company’s accounting policies on transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS with respect to the recognition and presentation of current and deferred income taxes are as follows: Canadian GAAP – Recognition of a deferred tax asset or liability for a temporary difference arising from inter-company transactions is prohibited. Such temporary differences may arise when the tax base of the asset in the buyer’s jurisdiction differs from the carrying amount of the asset in the consolidated financial statements. Further cash tax paid or recovered as a result of a transfer of an asset is recorded as a deferred tax asset or liability in the financial statements and recognized through tax expense when the asset leaves the Company or is otherwise utilized. IFRS – There are no such exceptions under IFRS. Therefore deferred tax is recognized for temporary differences arising on inter- company transactions measured at the tax rate of the buyer and cash tax paid or recovered on inter-company transactions is recognized in the period incurred. Canadian GAAP – Previously unrecognized deferred tax assets of the acquirer company are recognized as part of the cost of the acquisition when such assets are more likely than not to be realized as a result of a business combination through goodwill. IFRS – Previously unrecognized deferred tax assets of an acquirer company are recognized through earnings if realization is probable as a result of the business combination. As a result the Company was required to recognize deferred tax assets of $14.1 million that become realizable as a result of the restatement of the 2007 FPI acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3 in earnings. Canadian GAAP – Benefits for uncertain tax positions are determined based on whether it is more likely than not that an uncertain tax position will be sustained upon examination and the amount of benefit recorded is based on the single best estimate of the amount to be realized. IFRS – The provision for uncertain tax positions is a best estimate of the amount probable to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company determined that there was no impact on transition to IFRS with respect to the recognition and measurement of its uncertain tax positions. Canadian GAAP – Changes to deferred income tax assets not previously recognized relating to pre-acquisition periods are adjusted through the purchase price allocation first reducing goodwill and intangible assets associated with the business combination and only after exhausting those amounts reducing income tax expense. IFRS – Changes to pre-acquisition acquiree deferred income tax assets not previously recognized beyond 12 months of the acquisition date are recorded to the income statement. Reclassifications required on transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS with respect to deferred taxes are as follows: Canadian GAAP – Deferred taxes are split between current and non-current components on the basis of either (1) the underlying asset or liability or (2) the expected reversal of items not related to an asset or liability. IFRS – All deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. defeRRed tax ReClassifiCation aCCounting foR inCome taxes in business Combinations aCCounting foR unCeRtainty in inCome tax positions defeRRed taxassets ofan aCquiReR Company not pReviously ReCognized inteR-CompanytRansaCtions 116 HIGH lIneR FooDS InCoRpoRAteD

which resembles · · · 002002002002 · · · in a one- dimensional infinite lattice. If the PU is employed the system falls into an absorbing state in one unit time even if the system size is infinite. However if we employ the RSU that is the master equation the probability that this configuration evolves into an absorbing state in finite time is zero. Still the density of active sites is zero in the infinite-time limit (the average density of active sites at time t in the RSU is e − $^{t}$/ 3). As this example suggests it is appropriate to study the time dependence of the density of active sites. From the above consideration we define the third order parameter φ$_{3}$ as configuration C$_{t}$ . For the RSU we define ρ ( C ) as the average density of active sites in the steady state of the master equation (3) if the system evolves from the con- figuration C . Obviously ρ ( C ) = 0 irrespective of update rules if S ( C ) = 0. Although S ( C ) = 1 implies ρ ( C ) > 0 ρ ( C ) generally depends on the update rule. For example consider a con- figuration (0202) for the TM ˜ F in Eq. (16) with V = 4. Obviously ρ ( C ) = 1 / 2 for the PU. In the RSU there are two possible patterns (0202) and (1012) up to transla- tion. Since the average waiting time to the next jump of the first pattern is 1/2 while that of the second pattern is 1 the probability that the first (second) pattern is found in the steady state is 1 / 3 (2/3). Thus ρ ( C ) = 1 / 3 when the RSU is employed. Now we define the second order parameter φ$_{2}$ as where P$_{0}$ is the initial distribution and ζ satisfies Eq. (9). As we have shown φ$_{2}$ depends on the update rule which should be contrasted with φ$_{1}$ . Since ρ ( C ) ≤ S ( C ) for any C φ$_{2}$ cannot be larger than φ$_{1}$ . Thus φ$_{1}$ = 0 implies φ$_{2}$ = 0. For finite V φ$_{1}$ = 0 should imply φ$_{2}$ = 0. Thus a phase transition point for finite V if it exists is the same irrespective of whether φ$_{1}$ or φ$_{2}$ is used as an order parameter. Although transition points for finite V do not depend on which order parameter is used it is nontrivial to an- swer whether or not the infinite-size limit affects this conclusion. This is because there are configurations such that ρ ( C ) → 0 under the infinite V limit while S ( C ) = 1 for any V . For example if C = · · · 1111201111 · · · for the TM (16) ρ ( C ) = 1 /V → 0 while S ( C ) = 1 for any V . In Appendix A we show that it is always possible to construct such a configuration with E = Z$_{m}$ for any symmetric TM. If such configurations exist for any E in the range Z$_{m}$ ≤ E ≤ Z$_{M}$ we cannot exclude the possi- bility that φ$_{1}$ and φ$_{2}$ for the same initial condition can give different transition points in the infinite-size limit. Presumably an ignorant preparation for the initial con- dition as independent and identical Poisson distributions would not generate such complications. This might be an interesting question but we will not pursue the difference in φ$_{1}$ and φ$_{2}$ any further in this paper. where n ( C V ; t ) is the number of active sites averaged over ensembles at time t when the system evolves from the initial configuration C . For convenience we will ex- clusively refer to ρ$_{a}$ ( t ) as the activity density (at time t ). Although we did not mention it explicitly the infinite-size limit above should be understood as lim sup to guarantee the existence of the limit for any sequence of P$_{0}$ . It may be tempting to claim that if S ( C ) = 0 for any finite V the limit of n ( C V ; t ) should be In the previous two sections the infinite-size limit when necessary is preceded by the infinite-time limit. Now we discuss the consequence of changing the order of the two limits. If the infinite-size limit is taken first we cannot assign a unique value to S ( C ) introduced in Sec. III A irrespec- tive of the update rule. For example consider the TM However it is not true in general. For example consider again the TM (16) with an initial configuration C$_{0}$ ρ$_{a}$ ( t ) = lim sup V →∞ ∑ C n ( C V ; t ) V P$_{0}$ ( C ; ζ V ) (29) φ$_{3}$ = lim t $_{→∞}$ρ$_{a}$ ( t ) (30) lim t →∞ lim V →∞ n ( C V ; t ) V = 0 .

121 ANNUAL REPORT 2010 analysis considers the interdependency between interest rates and lapse behavior for products sold in the Americas where there is clear evidence of dynamic lapse behavior. Management action is taken into account to the extent that it is part of AEGON’s regular policies and procedures such as established hedging programs. However incidental management actions that would require a change in policies and procedures are not considered. Each sensitivity analysis reflects the extent to which the shock tested would affect management’s critical accounting estimates and judgment in applying AEGON’s accounting policies$^{ 1}$. Market- consistent assumptions underlying the measurement of non- listed assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect the shock tested. The shock may also affect the measurement of assets and liabilities based on assumptions that are not observable in the market. For example a shock in interest rates may lead to changes in the amortization schedule of DPAC or to increased impairment losses on equity investments. Although management’s short-term assumptions may change if there is a reasonable change in a risk factor long-term assumptions will generally not be revised unless there is evidence that the movement is permanent. This fact is reflected in the sensitivity analyses provided below. The accounting mismatch inherent in IFRS is also apparent in the reported sensitivities. A change in interest rates has an immediate impact on the carrying amount of assets measured at fair value. However the shock will not have a similar effect on the carrying amount of the related insurance liabilities that are measured based on prudent assumptions or on management’s long-term expectations. Consequently the different measurement bases for assets and liabilities lead to increased volatility in IFRS net income and shareholders’ equity. AEGON has classified a significant part of its investment portfolio as ’available for sale‘ which is one of the main reasons why the economic shocks tested have a different impact on net income than on shareholders’ equity. Unrealized gains and losses on these assets are not recognized in the income statement but are booked directly to the revaluation reserves in shareholders’ equity unless impaired. As a result economic sensitivities predominantly impact shareholders’ equity but leave net income unaffected. The effect of movements of the revaluation reserve on capitalization ratios and capital adequacy are minimal. AEGON's target ratio for the composition of its capital base is based on shareholders' equity excluding the revaluation reserve. The sensitivities do not reflect what the net income for the period would have been if risk variables had been different because the analysis is based on the exposures in existence at the reporting date rather than on those that actually occurred during the year. Nor are the results of the sensitivities intended to be an accurate prediction of AEGON’s future shareholders’ equity or earnings. The analysis does not take into account the impact of future new business which is an important component of AEGON’s future earnings. It also does not consider all methods available to management to respond to changes in the financial environment such as changing investment portfolio allocations or adjusting premiums and crediting rates. Furthermore the results of the analyses cannot be extrapolated for wider variations since effects do not tend to be linear. No risk management process can clearly predict future results. As an international group AEGON is subject to foreign currency translation risk. Foreign currency exposure exists when policies are denominated in currencies other than the issuer’s functional currency. Currency risk in the investment portfolios backing insurance and investment liabilities is managed using asset liability matching principles. Assets allocated to equity are kept in local currencies to the extent shareholders’ equity is required to satisfy regulatory and self-imposed capital requirements. Therefore currency exchange rate fluctuations will affect the level of shareholders’ equity as a result of translation of subsidiaries into euro the Group’s presentation currency. AEGON holds the remainder of its capital base (convertible core capital securities perpetual capital securities subordinated and senior debt) in various currencies in amounts that are targeted to correspond to the book value of the country units. This balancing mitigates currency translation impacts on shareholders’ equity and leverage ratios. AEGON does not hedge the income streams from the main non-euro units and as a result earnings may fluctuate due to currency translation. As AEGON has significant business segments in the Americas and in the United Kingdom the principal sources of exposure from currency fluctuations are from the differences between the US dollar and the euro and between the UK pound and the euro. AEGON may experience significant changes in net income and shareholders’ equity because of these fluctuations.

[0015] FIG. 5B is a graph that relates the principal components of a set of data to a null space of the set of data; and [0016] FIG. 6 is a flow diagram of one embodiment of a method for controlling a system. [0017] As discussed above a physically independent signal may not always be appropriate for providing commands to a system due to the difficulties associated with users providing separate independent commands when they are otherwise occupied with performing another task. Further in instances where a system may be automatically controlled to some extent while also accepting commands from a user the criteria associated with selecting appropriate control input modalities for a user may also change. Accordingly in some instances rather than using a physically independent signal a user may separately operate in some applications it may be desirable for a system to be controlled using one or more signals that may be provided to a system while a user is otherwise occupied in performing a task in a manner that is intuitive repeatable and voluntary. [0018] In view of the above the inventors have recognized and appreciated the benefits associated with systems that enable a user to provide commands to a system using the combination of forces applied by a plurality of body parts that may be otherwise occupied in performing a task. Specifically commands may be provided by exploiting a type of redundancy in forces that the user may apply while engaged in performing one or more tasks. For example a user may provide commands to a system through sensors disposed on the hands or other portion of the body even while the hands of the user are occupied in a task. In one such embodiment if the task involves manipulating a power tool or other object simply holding the power tool may use a minimum grasping force where the grasping force may be the sum of forces generated by individual fingers. Accordingly the sum of the forces may satisfy a certain condition such as providing enough force to ensure that the power tool does not slip. However the distribution of applied forces among multiple fingers may still be arbitrary. This implies that a user may still provide commands with a distribution of finger forces while holding or otherwise interacting with an object. This sensing of different DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The aggregate fair value of these contracts was $(0.2) million at November 30 2004. At November 30 2003 the Company had foreign currency exchange contracts for the Euro British pound sterling Canadian dollar Australian dollar Japanese yen and South African rand with a notional value of $58.9 million all of which matured in 2004. The fair value of these contracts was $(1.7) million at November 30 2003. Contracts with durations which are less than 5 days and used for short-term cash flow funding within the Company are not included in the notes or table above. During 2004 the foreign currency translation compo- nent in other comprehensive income was principally related to the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Company’s net investments in France the U.K. Canada and Australia. The Company did not hedge its net invest- ments in subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates in 2004 2003 or 2002. Interest Rate Risk – The Company’s policy is to man- age interest rate risk by entering into both fixed and variable rate debt. The Company also uses interest rate swaps to minimize worldwide financing costs and to achieve a desired mix of its fixed and variable rate debt. The table that follows provides principal cash flows and related interest rates excluding the effect of interest rate swaps by fiscal year of maturity at November 30 2004 and 2003. For foreign currency-denominated debt the information is presented in U.S. dollar equivalents. Variable interest rates are based on the weighted- average rates of the portfolio at the end of the year presented. Note: The table above displays the debt by the terms of the original debt instrument without consideration of interest rate swaps. These swaps have the following effects. The variable interest rate on $75 million of commercial paper is hedged by interest rate swaps through 2011. Net interest payments on the $75 million will be fixed at 6.35% during this period. Interest rate swaps settled upon the issuance of the medium-term notes maturing in 2006 and 2008 effectively fixed the interest rate on $294 million of the notes at a weighted-average fixed rate of 7.62%. The fixed interest rate on $100 million of the 6.4% medium-term notes due in 2006 is effectively converted to a variable rate by interest rate swaps through 2006. Net interest payments on these notes are based on LIBOR plus 3.595% during this period. The fixed interest rate on $50 million of 3.35% medium-term notes due in 2009 is effectively converted to a variable rate by interest rate swaps through 2009. Net interest payments are based on LIBOR minus .21% during this period. 31

tion for team workspaces projects and even specific applications. But ultimately for a greater isolation of certain environments namespaces are not enough and having separate clusters is common. Typically there is one nonproduction Kubernetes clus‐ ter used for some environments (development testing and integration testing) and another production Kubernetes cluster to represent performance testing and produc‐ tion environments. Let’s see some of the characteristics of namespaces and how they can help us in differ‐ ent scenarios: 10 | Chapter 1: Introduction • ResourceQuotas can also limit the total sum of computing resources we can request in a given namespace. For example in a cluster with a capacity of 32 GB RAM and 16 cores it is possible to allocate half of the resources—16 GB RAM and 8 cores—for the production namespace 8 GB RAM and 4 cores for staging environment 4 GB RAM and 2 cores for development and the same amount for testing namespaces. The ability of imposing resource constraints on a group of objects by using namespaces and ResourceQuotas is invaluable. • ResourceQuotas provide constraints that limit the aggregated resource consump‐ tion per namespace. With ResourceQuotas a cluster administrator can control the number of objects per type that are allowed in a namespace. For example a developer namespace may allow only five ConfigMaps five Secrets five Services five ReplicaSets five PersistentVolumeClaims and ten Pods. • Each Kubernetes Service belongs to a namespace and gets a corresponding DNS address that has the namespace in the form of <service-name>.<namespace- name>.svc.cluster.local . So the namespace name is in the URI of every Ser‐ vice belonging to the given namespace. That’s one reason it is vital to name namespaces wisely. • Some other resources such as namespaces themselves nodes and PersistentVo‐ lumes do not belong to namespaces and should have unique cluster-wide names. • By default namespaces provide scope for resources but nothing isolates those resources and prevents access from one resource to another. For example a Pod from a development namespace can access another Pod from a production namespace as long as the Pod IP address is known. However there are Kuber‐ netes plugins that provide networking isolation to achieve true multitenancy across namespaces if desired. • A namespace provides scope for resources such as containers Pods Services or ReplicaSets. The names of resources need to be unique within a namespace but not across them. • A namespace is managed as a Kubernetes resource.

CREATE INDEX Statement •The index type for a non- SPATIAL index depends on the storage engine. Currently B-tree is used. •Permitted for a column that can have NULL values only for InnoDB MyISAM and MEMORY tables. • KEY_BLOCK_SIZE [=] value • index_type Index Options Following the key part list index options can be given. An index_option value can be any of the following: KEY_BLOCK_SIZE is not supported at the index level for InnoDB tables. See Section 13.1.20 “CREATE TABLE Statement” . Some storage engines permit you to specify an index type when creating an index. For example: CREATE TABLE lookup (id INT) ENGINE = MEMORY; CREATE INDEX id_index ON lookup (id) USING BTREE; Table 13.1 “Index Types Per Storage Engine” shows the permissible index type values supported by different storage engines. Where multiple index types are listed the first one is the default when no index type specifier is given. Storage engines not listed in the table do not support an index_type clause in index definitions. The index_type clause cannot be used for FULLTEXT INDEX or (prior to MySQL 8.0.12) SPATIAL INDEX specifications. Full-text index implementation is storage engine dependent. Spatial indexes are implemented as R-tree indexes. BTREE indexes are implemented by the NDB storage engine as T-tree indexes. For indexes on NDB table columns the USING option can be specified only for a unique index or primary key. USING HASH prevents the creation of an ordered index; otherwise creating a unique index or primary key on an NDB table automatically results in the creation of both an ordered index and a hash index each of which indexes the same set of columns. 2525 Note Storage Engine Permissible Index Types InnoDB BTREE MyISAM BTREE MEMORY / HEAP HASH BTREE NDB HASH BTREE (see note in text) Table 13.1 Index Types Per Storage Engine For MyISAM tables KEY_BLOCK_SIZE optionally specifies the size in bytes to use for index key blocks. The value is treated as a hint; a different size could be used if necessary. A KEY_BLOCK_SIZE value specified for an individual index definition overrides a table-level KEY_BLOCK_SIZE value. If you specify an index type that is not valid for a given storage engine but another index type is available that the engine can use without affecting query results the engine uses the available type. The parser recognizes RTREE as a type name. As of MySQL 8.0.12 this is permitted only for SPATIAL indexes. Prior to 8.0.12 RTREE cannot be specified for any storage engine.

MongoDB Documentation Release 3.0.4 The method returns a WriteResult object with the status of the operation. Upon successful update the WriteResult object should have "nModified" equal to 1 . The method returns a WriteResult object with the number of documents removed in the "nRemoved" field. Note: The cluster’s mongos instances will fail to detect the authorization model downgrade until the user cache is refreshed. You can run invalidateUserCache on each mongos instance to refresh immediately or you can wait until the cache is refreshed automatically at the end of the user cache invalidation interval . To run invalidateUserCache you must have privilege with invalidateUserCache (page 421) action which is granted by userAdminAnyDatabase (page 412) and hostManager (page 410) roles. For a sharded cluster repeat the downgrade process by connecting to the primary replica set member for each shard. Result The downgrade process returns the user data to its state prior to upgrading to 2.6 authorization model. Any changes made to the user/role data using the 2.6 users model will be lost. Text Index Version Check If you have version 2 text indexes (i.e. the default version for text indexes in MongoDB 2.6) drop the version 2 text indexes before downgrading MongoDB. After the downgrade enable text search and recreate the dropped text indexes. To determine the version of your text indexes run db.collection.getIndexes() to view index specifica- tions. For text indexes the method returns the version information in the field textIndexVersion . For example the following shows that the text index on the quotes collection is version 2. Chapter 12.
