De Quincey and the Lake poets
I feel that an investigation into the friend ships between each of the Lake Poets and DeQuincey is worthwhile. The intercourse of these great personalities and the effects they produced on one another are sources of valuable information . It will be the object of this study to present the personal and social lives of the Lake Poets and their devotee, with a view of finding contributions and detractions made to each other by this association
Commerce Clause Restraints on State Taxation of Energy Resources: A Suggested Framework for Analysis
Lower Bounds in the Preprocessing and Query Phases of Routing Algorithms
In the last decade, there has been a substantial amount of research in
finding routing algorithms designed specifically to run on real-world graphs.
In 2010, Abraham et al. showed upper bounds on the query time in terms of a
graph's highway dimension and diameter for the current fastest routing
algorithms, including contraction hierarchies, transit node routing, and hub
labeling. In this paper, we show corresponding lower bounds for the same three
algorithms. We also show how to improve a result by Milosavljevic which lower
bounds the number of shortcuts added in the preprocessing stage for contraction
hierarchies. We relax the assumption of an optimal contraction order (which is
NP-hard to compute), allowing the result to be applicable to real-world
instances. Finally, we give a proof that optimal preprocessing for hub labeling
is NP-hard. Hardness of optimal preprocessing is known for most routing
algorithms, and was suspected to be true for hub labeling
Zero Trust Implementation in the Emerging Technologies Era: Survey
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the shift from the
traditional perimeter model of security to the Zero Trust (ZT) framework,
emphasizing the key points in the transition and the practical application of
ZT. It outlines the differences between ZT policies and legacy security
policies, along with the significant events that have impacted the evolution of
ZT. Additionally, the paper explores the potential impacts of emerging
technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing, on
the policy and implementation of ZT. The study thoroughly examines how AI can
enhance ZT by utilizing Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to analyze patterns,
detect anomalies, and predict threats, thereby improving real-time
decision-making processes. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates how a chaos
theory-based approach, in conjunction with other technologies like eXtended
Detection and Response (XDR), can effectively mitigate cyberattacks. As quantum
computing presents new challenges to ZT and cybersecurity as a whole, the paper
delves into the intricacies of ZT migration, automation, and orchestration,
addressing the complexities associated with these aspects. Finally, the paper
provides a best practice approach for the seamless implementation of ZT in
organizations, laying out the proposed guidelines to facilitate organizations
in their transition towards a more secure ZT model. The study aims to support
organizations in successfully implementing ZT and enhancing their cybersecurity

Urinary Markers of Glomerular Injury in Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy, the leading cause of renal failure worldwide, affects approximately one-third of all people with diabetes. Microalbuminuria is considered the first sign and the best predictor of progression to renal failure and cardiovascular events. However, albuminuria has several limitations. Therefore, earlier, more sensitive and specific biomarkers with greater predictability are needed. The aim of this paper is to discuss the current literature on biomarkers of glomerular injury that have been implicated in diabetic kidney disease
How JWST can measure First Light, Reionization and Galaxy Assembly

Assembly.Comment: 12 pages, Latex2e requires 'elsart' (included), 7 Postscript figures.

Dust-penetrated morphology in the high-redshift universe: clues from NGC 922
Results from the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) North and South show a large
percentage of high-redshift galaxies whose appearance falls outside traditional
classification systems. The nature of these objects is poorly understood, but
sub-mm observations indicate that at least some of these systems are heavily
obscured (Sanders 2000). This raises the intriguing possibility that a
physically meaningful classification system for high-redshift galaxies might be
more easily devised at rest-frame infrared wavelengths, rather than in the
optical regime. Practical realization of this idea will become possible with
the advent of the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST). In order to explore
the capability of NGST for undertaking such science, we present NASA-IRTF and
SCUBA observations of NGC 922, a chaotic system in our local Universe which
bears a striking resemblance to objects such as HDF 2-86 (z=0.749) in the HDF
North. If objects such as NGC 922 are common at high-redshifts, then this
galaxy may serve as a local morphological `Rosetta stone' bridging low and
high-redshift populations. In this paper we demonstrate that quantitative
measures of galactic structure are recoverable in the rest-frame infrared for
NGC 922 seen at high redshifts using NGST, by simulating the appearance of this
galaxy at redshifts z=0.7 and z=1.2 in rest-frame K'. Our results suggest that
the capability of efficiently exploring the rest-wavelength IR morphology of
high-z galaxies should probably be a key factor in deciding the final choice of
instruments for the NGST.Comment: 7 pages, 12 Figures. Accepted for publication in A&A. Better version
