Does this lemma really not exist yet?
lemma smul_mem_span {α β : Type} [ring α] [add_comm_group β] [module α β] (a : α) (x : β) (s : set β) (h : x ∈ span α s) : a • x ∈ span α s :=
This has nothing to do with spans, it is a fact on submodules. Try submodule.smul _ _ h
.
Oh right. I found this out once before and forgot again :-)

class: center, middle, inverse, title-slide # Heterosis and inbreeding depression ## Inbreeding depression
Heterosis: its genetic basis and biometrics
Utilization and fixation of heterosis ### Deependra Dhakal ### 2019/04/21 (updated: 2020-10-01) --- class: inverse, middle, center # Inbreeding depression --- - Inbreeding depression is reduction in fitness as a direct result of inbreeding. - In theory, the heterosis observed on crossing is expected to be equal to the depression upon inbreeding, considering a large number of crosses between lines derived from a single base population. - In practice, plant breeders are interested in heterosis expressed by specific crosses between selected parents, or between populations that have no known common origin. - Reduction in fitness is usually manifested as a reduction in vigor, fertility, and productivity. - The effect is more severe in the early generations (5-8). - Plants including onions, sunflower, cucurbits, and rye are more tolerant of inbreeding with minimal consequences of inbreeding depression. - Plants such as alfalfa and carrot are highly intolerant of inbreeding.  --- - Inbreeding is measured by the coefficient of inbreeding (F), which is the probability of identity of alleles by descent. The range of F is zero (no inbreeding; random mating) to one (prolonged selfing). - An unfit (deleterious) recessive allele is fairly quickly reduced in frequency but declines slowly thereafter. - On the other hand, an unfit dominant allele is rapidly eliminated from the population, while an intermediate allele is reduced more rapidly than a recessive allele because the former is open to selection in the heterozygote. - The consequence of these outcomes is that unfit dominant or intermediate alleles are rare in cross-breeding populations, while unfit recessive alleles persist because they are protected by their recessiveness. --- - In Figure (a) there is no inbreeding because there is no common ancestral pathway to the individual, A (i.e., all parents are different). - However, in Figure (b) inbreeding exists because B and C have common parents (D and E), that is, they are full sibs. - To calculate the amount of inbreeding, the standard pedigree is converted to an arrow diagram, as shown in (c). - Each individual contributes 1/2 of its genotype to its offspring. The *coefficient of inbreeding* (F) is calculated by summing up all the pathways between two individuals through a common ancestor as: `\(F_{BC} = \sum{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^s}\)` , where s is the number of steps (arrows) from B to the common ancestor and back to C. For example, B and C probably inherited `\((1/2)(1/2) = 1/4\)` of their genes in common through ancestor D. Similarly, B and C probably inherited 1/4 of their genes in common through ancestor E. (Notice that individual whose inbreeding coefficient is being calculated does not constitute the loop and is hence ignored.) - Given the proportion of common genes, F can be calculated by squaring the proportion -- i.e. `\(F = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{4}\)`. Here we sum twice because two loops are involved with same proportion of genes common. ---

Pedigree diagrams can be drawn in the standard form (a, b) or converted to into an arrow diagram (c).

 --- class: inverse, middle, center # Hybrid vigour (Heterosis) --- - Hybrid vigor may be defined as the increase in size, vigor, fertility, and overall productivity of a hybrid plant over the mid-parent value (average performance of the two parents). - It is calculated as the difference between the crossbred and inbred means: `$$Hybrid~vigour = \frac{F_1-\frac{(P_1+P_2)}{2}}{\frac{(P_1+P_2)}{2}}$$` - The estimate is usually calculated as a percentage. - The synonymous term, heterosis, was coined by G.H. Shull. - Advantageous hybrid vigor is observed more frequently when breeders cross parents that are genetically diverse; When two inbred lines of outbred species are crossed. - The practical definition of heterosis is hybrid vigor that greatly exceeds the better or higher parent in a cross. - Hybrid breeding in maize quadrupled yields of maize in US between 1930s and 1970s. --- ## Genetic basis of heterosis - To explain the genetic basis for why fitness lost on inbreeding tends to be restored upon crossing, two theories have been proposed. - Dominance theory: C.G. Davenport in 1908 and later by I.M. Lerner, - Overdominance theory: Shull in 1908 and later by K. Mather and J.L. Jinks. - A third theory, the mechanism of epistasis (non-allelic gene interactions), has also been proposed. --- ## Dominance theory - The dominance theory assumes that vigor in plants is conditioned by dominant alleles, recessive alleles being deleterious or neutral in effect. - It follows: a genotype with more dominant alleles will be more vigorous than one with few dominant alleles. - Consequently, crossing two parents with complementary dominant alleles will concentrate more favorable alleles in the hybrid than either parent. - In practice, if too many deleterious alleles are present, it makes it difficult to inbreed to recover sufficient loci with homozygous dominant alleles. - Inbreeding depression occurs upon selfing because the deleterious recessive alleles that are protected in the heterozygous condition (heterozygous advantage) become homozygous and are expressed. - Assume that each dominant genotype contributes two units to the phenotype, while a recessive genotype contributes one unit. - A cross between two inbred parents could produce the following outcome: ---  --- ## Overdominance theory - The phenomenon of the heterozygote being superior to the homozygote is called overdominance (i.e., heterozygosity _per se_ is assumed to be responsible for heterosis). - Theory assumes that the alleles of a gene (e.g., A, a) are contrasting but each has a different favorable effect in the plant. - A genotype with more heterozygous loci would be more vigorous than one with less heterozygotes. - Consider a quantitative trait conditioned by four loci, and assume that recessive, heterozygote, and homozygote dominants contribute 1, 2, and 1.5 units to the phenotypic value, respectively:  --- ## Biometrics of heterosis ### Better parent heterosis (Heterobeltiosis) `$$\large Hybrid~vigour = \frac{F_1-Better~parent}{Better~parent}$$` ### Mid parent heterosis `$$\large Hybrid~vigour = \frac{F_1-\frac{(P_1+P_2)}{2}}{\frac{(P_1+P_2)}{2}}$$` --- ### Commercial heterosis `$$\large Hybrid~vigour = \frac{F_1-Commercial~Hybrid}{Commercial~Hybrid}$$` --- class: inverse, middle, center # Types of hybrids --- - Commercial applications of hybrid breeding started with a cross of two inbred lines (a single cross - AxB) and later shifted to the more economic double cross, ([AxB]x[CxD]) and then back to a single cross. - Other parent combinations in hybrid development have been proposed, including the three-way cross ([AxB]xC) and modified versions of the single cross, in which closely related crosses showed that the single cross was superior in performance to the other two in terms of average yield. - However, it was noted also that the genotype x environment interaction (hybrid x environment) variability was more than twice that for the double crosses, while the mean variability for the three-way cross being intermediate. --- - This indicated that the single crosses were more sensitive or responsive to environmental conditions than the other crosses. - Whereas high average yield is important to the producer, consistency in performance across years and locations (i.e., yield stability) is also important. - Double and three-way crosses have a more genetically divergent population for achieving buffering. - Today commercial hybrids are predominantly single cross, of best combining parental inbred lines. - For outline of mating scheme, See Lecture 7 on "Hybridization techniques and its consequences". --- ## Maintenance of genetic male sterility and its application

Call me lazy, call me cheeky, but breakfast in bed is my preferred option.
If the male human isn't in charge, I often get a dish of treats left next to my furry Emours den on one of the upper platforms in my cage. I particularly like carrots and sunflower seeds, but I won't turn my nose up at such tasty morsels as parsnip, mushroom, dried banana and walnuts. Saying that, I do hope that they vary the menu a bit more soon. I have been offered apple and grape, but I think they got the message that I wasn't keen after I left those things untouched.
Now, I don't get the treats if the big fella is in control of feeding. I heard him say that he didn't want me to expect to get tasty tidbits. I notice, however, that he's always treating himself. Just give me one day in charge and I'll show him!
You might think that it's perfectly acceptable for me to tuck in to my treats in full view of my human family. And I will on occasion indulge their need to see me feeding. However, I do prefer to savour my snacks at my leisure in the privacy of my den. Hauling my loot in my cheeks is do-able, even if I want to hide it in my ground floor appartment. But it is a bit of a chore.
So, I gave them a hint that I wanted breakfast in bed. After the snack bowl appeared, and no one was looking, I dragged the entire bowl into my furry den. It blocked the entrance, but who cares! I've been working on creating a rear entrance to the den. It's taken a couple of weeks but I managed to bite and scrape through one of the seams at the back. An escape hatch!
They commented that I was being cheeky and moved the bowl out of the den, albeit not before I'd snaffled a few of the seeds. I was determined to dine in comfort so dragged the bowl back into the den. Get the message! Bring the food to me. Don't expect me to go to the food.
Is it too much to ask for a bit of equal treatment? I've seen my humans delivering drinks and snacks right into another human's hands. Equality For Hamsters!


Dr Adnan shares important update about Nawaz's health | Pakistan - Geo.tv
by Web DeskLONDON: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif and Dr Adnan Khan on Friday gave important health updates about former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
Speaking to media, Shehbaz said that Nawaz had gone through the process of cardiac intervention seven times.
"He was monitored by a doctor from Switzerland," said Shehbaz. "Some tests will be conducted today and some tomorrow."
Nawaz's personal physician Dr Adnan said that arteries carrying blood to Nawaz's brain were 80 percent blocked.
"Nawaz's medical appointments are booked," he said. "If the need arises, he will be taken to the hospital."
The government removed Nawaz's name from the ECL after a verdict from the Lahore High Court allowed the former prime minister to go abroad without the government's conditions.
However, the court included an undertaking from both Nawaz and Shehbaz which said that he would return to Pakistan after he recovered.

-This is a short portfolio about me as a student in Moringa school attending moringa-prep.
During the short period doing Moringa-prep i have been able to learn basic HTML, how to use CSS to style my web page, how to use git to commit/clone repoitorie and how to use the Command line to navigate through the computer's direcotory or code in it using vim.
Here are links to some of the coding that i have been able to do during this short period;
I actually don't have much to say, but i'm just a typical Kenyan how is trying to make something out of himself in today's world.
I dont have a huge work experience.I worked for 9 months at sales, selling clothing
wears,foot wear,kitchen ware,food and beverages.
Then i did online typing for about 2 months which really enhanced my typing skills.
I did Kenya's 844 system in nursery level, primary level at Uasin Gishu primary school and secondary level at Concord Boys High school. After finishing my high school studies i joined the university level at Multimedia University to persue a bachelors degree on Film production and animation which i did it for only one academic year,after that during the begining of my second academic year i deferred my studies due to being unable to meet the high feee charges. After that i didn't want to waste time and money, so i decided to teach my self how to code, then my brother introduced me to Moringa school and told me that its the best place to learn how to become a program developer.
My hobbies are swimming, dancing, playing ches, travelling to exotic places for adventure and learning new things or skills that i had an interest of knowing how to do it.
My Interests are a lot but to make it brief, i'm Interested to learn programming language as a whole, i'm also Interested to learn spanish and chinese languages and lastly i'm Interested in becoming my own boss.
*Note:This is not a full history about my life. If your in the interest of knowing more about me you can find me in my email address at;danmark.chemuren@gmail.com.

I humbly introduce myself to you; I am Mrs. Alhaja Rashidat Azmil the wife Of Captain Azmil who served in Iraq.I am contacting you base on trust and humanitarian assistance which I urgently need from you. The recent concluded US led war against my country has left my family totally devastated as I lost my Husband to the cold hands of death and the children lost thei father.Long before this war started, my late husband had in his custody $20.7 Million U.S Dollars, but due to serious threat of war from the United States and the collision forces (if our dictator president does not amend his ways), my husband had to act fast and at such deposited these funds in a Diplomatic Condominium in a neighboring country for the purpose of our family survival after the war might have been over. I am writing you this letter because our dreams was not fulfilled as we could not leave Iraq before the war but we did however succeeded in getting the children to a neighboring country first before trying to proceed with getting ourselves out. It was in the process of us (my Husband and I) escaping to a neighboring country that we came under friendly fire. It was this mistake that took my husband’s life and critically injured me as the truck we were in went out of control into a brick wall. I was rushed to a military hospital in a neighboring country where I am currently admitted and writing this letter. I am recovering well and now that my health has improved dramatically, I need to think of the futureof my Children and who to trust in sending theentire amount kept by my late husband for investment and acquiring immigration papers for my children. If you believe you can assist me on this endeavor,kindly reply me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>so that I shall forward to you all the details required to carry on this transaction successfully. I look forward to your prompt favorable response.Thanks for your understanding. Yours Respectfully, Mrs. Rashidat Azmil. N.B (If you have received this email in error, please accept my apology. If you no longer wish to receive email from me, please do not reply. Your request will be honored). ____________________ http://www.email.si/


COVID-19 Global Cases
Loading data...
Footnotes
Methodology Note
This data visualization uses a sankey diagram to responsibly display the overall reported cases and death toll of the 2019-2020 novel COVID-19 pandemic broken down by geography.
The visualization pulls from live data but a periodically updated static dataset is used as a fallback depending on latency of your connection.
All reporting is at the country level with the exception of the United States which contains state-level detail.
Data sources
The data is derived from Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CSSE).
This visual uses consolidated data sources of the JHU CSSEE data sources from @covid19 and @NovelCOVID.
Data Grouping
All countries of total confirmed cases less than are grouped into one category labeled "Other" to reduce visual noise in the visualization.
The United States is further broken down by state. States with total confirmed cases below are grouped in the "Other" category.
The specific threshold values are noted in the footnotes section.
Time-lapse Grouping
When animating through the various years, the data grouping threshold dynamically changes to ensure the visualization does not become too cluttered and difficult to read.
The "Other" category is necessary to accurately display the distributions but will fluctuate independently of the rest of the data because of the dynamic thresholds.
Total Confirmed Metric
The JHU CSSE consolidated total of confirmed cases of COVID-19. Note that confirmed cases are just that, and there are an unknown quantity of unreported COVID-19 cases.
Total Deaths Metric
The JHU CSSE consolidated total COVID-19 related deaths reported by various governmental agencies.
Total Recovered Metric
The consolidated total reported recovered cases. Keep in mind that the reporting of this metric is likely to be inconsistent across global government agencies.
Active Cases Metric
The visualization computes this number by subtracting the total recovered and total deaths from the total confirmed cases:
Active Cases = Total Confirmed - Total Deaths -
Total Recovered
Death Rate
The visualization computes this number by dividing the Total Deaths metric by the Total Confirmed cases:
Death Rate = Total Deaths / Total Confirmed
The technical term for this ratio is the Case Fatality Rate (CFR). The CFR is different than the Crude Mortality Rate (CMR) which calculates the likelihood of someone in the general population dying from the virus.

--- layout: default title: On Generative Algorithms - Differential Mesh ---
Since Differential Mesh seemed to be working quite well I decided to make an attempt at recreating the same behaviour in three dimensions. In some sense this is "just" a matter of adding a third dimension, and letting things go from there. However, there were a few other challenges as well. First of all avoiding collisions is a bit more tedious in 3D. Secondly making sure that your mesh is consistent is a little more complicated. (I use a variation of the Half-Edge Data structure to represent the mesh and all operations on it.)
Similarly to Differential Line and Differential Mesh the problem of collisions/self-intersections isn't really solved at all here. By adjusting the various forces it is possible to get it to behave well enough that collision detection isn't needed (most of the time …). Having said this, I should also point out that this is the first time I attempt to write a generative 3D mesh, so I can guarantee you that there are better ways of doing this out there.
One of those better ways is Floraform by Nervous System. Another one (although strictly speaking not a mesh, as I've understood it) is Cellular Forms by Andy Lomas.
If you want to play with 3D meshes on your own I recommend trying out Blender, which has a complete Python API. You can see an example of mine here. You could also try Processing combined with HE_Mesh by Frederik Vanhoutte.
The above image is a rendering of a mesh done in Blender using the Blender Cycles Rendering engine. As you can see it has a rather "frayed" appearance. This is a result of the chosen growth strategy. In a manner similar to the food source method used to create Differential Mesh the growth of this mesh is controlled by applying the concept of "growth intensity". Vertices with high growth intensities will be more inclined to move than vertices with lower intensities—which in turn causes new vertices to be added to the mesh.
When we start the simulation certain vertices are given a growth intensity of one, whilst the remaining vertices have a growth intensity of zero. As the simulation progresses the growth intensity will gradually spread to neighboring vertices, similar to how heat spreads through a piece of metal.
To make the mesh grow outwards outside edges of the mesh will be randomly assigned a growth intensity of one during the course of the simulation. If we do this assignment in a scattered manner we will get frayed meshes such as above. On the other hand, if we apply the growth intensity on the edge more uniformly, we will get results such as in the example below.
Sorry there aren't any animations on this page, read on to see another one!Previous: Differential Mesh Next: Fractures

Feature idea from a user:
I'm not sure if this is the place for requests(or ideas), but I have a simple idea agama could introduce to the next version of their wallet.
My idea is to add a "NAME" column in the Receiving Addresses part of the wallet. If this name was attached to each address, and could be edited at will. This would be a simple addition that would help keep track of different addresses in the one wallet. For example, if you have 3 addresses, 1 you use for hodling, 1 for rec...


The year 2012 was an unusal year. As a sophomore in the self-employed battlefield, I experienced a lot this year, and learned my lessons.
If you ask what the biggest lesson I've learned, I would say - the only thing unchanged is the change itself, you need to prepare for it and adapt to it. For the year 2012, the obvious changes for the team were:
- We lose a key team member and it hurt me a lot.
- We acquired fresh blood and that was a great shot.
- We had to cut down the size of the team to move faster. Believe me, I felt much more paintful than anyone else. For the whole month I was in anguish until everyone paved to their new journey.
- We built a series of city guide apps, which got passionate responses from our users. One of the apps, Hong Kong Travel Guide, held a position of No. 1 in travel leaderboard of Hong Kong app market for a period, which was a wonderful thing considering that we spent $0 to market it.
- We successfully built our next gen software and would launch it formally early next year.
There were several great changes on me:
- I finished one of the greatest upgrade in my life - my lovely baby, lingxi, born at the end of this year.
- I read tens of books but most of them were not in CS field. This year I began to be obsessed by philosophy and literature of the pre-Qin period, so I read quite a few on that.
- I started using Meteor, a great nodejs framework for next gen web applications. By using Meteor, I spent about 5 nights on creating a collaboration tool for my team. Now this tool, called teamspark, is the defacto collaboration software of the team.
- I started blogging again. This time, by using octopress and sublime, I was totally immersed in the joyous composing state.
- I changed my little red elf Palio to a medium-sized car. For my baby, of course.
Just like what I've done for the past years, this retrospection will be divided into several parts, including work, study, life and finance. I'll try to make it more personal.

Study
frontend tech
For frontend bolerplate, I studied twitter bootstrap, and kept an eye open on HTML5 bolerplate.
For javascript,
- The biggest surprise is Meteor.
- I became a fan of underscore but looking forward to lodash.
- I liked the simplicity of backbone but finally I chose ember for my projects.
- After seeking for many local storage packages, I locked down to amplify.
- I learned reveal.js and embedded it into octopress for easy slide composition.
- I played with d3 and nvd3 in the project teamspark for displaying statistics charts.
Backend tech
- The biggest surprise is Meteor, too.
- I began to fight in the nodejs battlefield.
- I reread RFC2616 for grouping my knowledge fragments about HTTP.
- I mastered the technique of seamlessly deploying.
- Though we switched our major server for tukeq.com from AWS to local IDC (you know the reason) and removed almost all services outside mainland China (such as cloudflare) for about a year, I still payed close attenttion to technologies used by AWS, Cloudflare, Mixpanel, Optimizely, etc.
- I switched DB server from mongodb back to mysql for company's projects but mongodb is still my favorite for personal projects.
- "Generate to static" technology like Jekyll caught my attention, and I did spend quite a few time on it.
- I picked up my C / assembly / Makefile experience again, and use makefile in my projects for a kind of automation.
- I started to read several hot open source code like redis which in pure C.
Books I read for my personal interest
- History: I read several books regarding history. For the first time in my life, I finished reading 史记.
- Literature: I reread 三国演义 and 水浒 (including 金圣叹批读水浒传).
- Philosophy: I read 老子, 论语, 荀子, 庄子. I like 庄子 the most.
- Biography: I read 李鸿章传 and 王安石传 (not finished) by 梁启超. 李鸿章传 might be the best biography I've read so far. It did a lot of interesting comparisons among Li and other politician, like Bismarck in Germany.
- Science: I read quite a few psychology books like 职业心理学 (translated by 邹韬奋) and several books about common sense, like The Story of Mankind by Hendrik Willem van Loon.
- Others: I read 三字经, Aespo's Fables, Grimm's Fairy Tales, and Andersen's Fairy Tales, both for me and for my lovely baby. The Aespo's Fables taught me a lot.
Life
Lingxi was born
My wife got pregnant early in this year. That was an unexpected pleasure. After a ten-month growing, bringing us many, many joys and pains, this little creature jumped out to this world finally. Since then she became the center of the family.
I would spend as much as time on her education. I knew I could bring her a plentiful life but what I concerned the most was the richness of her spirit.
Boring but peaceful prenatal life
I watched 0 movie, 0 play and 0 game this year. I did several excursions to 北戴河, 十渡, 红螺寺, 大觉寺 but made 0 long journey.
THE first five-year WEDDING anniversary
My wif got pregnant on the same day of our five-year anniversary. Thanks to god's mercy!
Finance
As self-employed, I took 0 or low salary for the past 2 years for the good of the company. Fortunately, the family's incoming could cover the expenses. We lead a much tighter life than 2 years ago but we were much happier than before. 孔子 once said
君子谋道不谋食，忧道不忧贫。
士志于道，而耻恶衣恶食者，未足与议也。
Epilogue
You may ask why I wrote this in English, is it a kind of show-off? No. There are two reasons:
- This blog is written for myself. It's not intended to get other's comments.
- Just before I started to write, I got an inspiration - I've not used English for quite a long time, why not write it in English to see what's the current status?
As usual, here's lingxi's latest photo:

It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half concealing.
Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her.
It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with
Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed."
<

He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened
to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message.

Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to
her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death.

On this Saturday, November 23, the renowned Waterford Male Voice Choir will lead the singing at 7.30pm Mass in Ss Peter and Paul’s Church in Clonmel, and afterwards give a short concert and performance of some of the world's favourite choral pieces.
The choir began in 2001. In their first year they had only nine or ten members. They now have fifty.
They perform mainly in the Waterford area at a number of Masses, as well as at concerts with visiting choirs and in support of good causes. They are the current holders of the New Ross Male Voice Choir Choral (AIMS) Festival trophy – a competition which they have won on a number of occasions.
They have also travelled abroad to Wales, Weighbridge, Krakov, Vienna, Rome, Barcelona and next year to Sweden.
They have sung at venues including The National Concert Hall, The Konzart Hall in Vienna, The Irish College in Rome and the best of all at a Mass in St. Peter's in Rome for the Holy Father.
Everyone is welcome to attend their performance at Mass in Clonmel.

Table that displays the xml report file that Nuke generates. To open a file, use the Open File button on the toolbar.
Each colum is a frame and on each row you will find the node name. Because some nodes could have long names, by hovering over a row, a tooltip will appear displaying the entire name.
The table offers a the same search bar that is found on the Dag page, so the same features are available here; filter nodes using regex, filter by name, class etc.
When loading a xml file, the plugin will try to verify that is a valid xml file before loading;
that is, will try to check for syntax errors, and if is a valid Nuke profiling file.
When one or the other is not correct, the plugin will give an alert message with some indication on how to fix
it (e.g. missing closing tag).
Also keep in mind that, if you are trying to load an xml file that just be generated form Nuke, remember that, You must close the Nuke app in order for the file to be completed.
The entire table can be un-docked from the Nuke main window.
This can be done in two ways;
The table allows to sort columns in ascending or descending order by clicking on a column header.
