Also, indirect ELISA assays take longer to run than direct ELISAs since an additional incubation step for the secondary antibody is required. Among its disadvantages is the possibility of cross-reactivity of secondary antibody to the adsorbed antigen, which could increase background noise. ![]() Indirect ELISA delivers greater flexibility since different primary antibodies can be used with a single labeled secondary antibody. The indirect ELISA method has high sensitivity since more than one labeled secondary antibody can bind the primary antibody it is more economical than the direct ELISA as fewer labeled antibodies are needed. Second, an enzyme conjugated secondary antibody that is directed against the host species of the primary antibody is applied. ![]() First, an unlabeled primary antibody binds to the specific antigen. Less prone to error – as less reagents and fewer steps are requiredīest for: when analyzing the immune response to an antigen.įigure 3 demonstrates how an indirect ELISA is set up antigen is adsorbed to a well in an ELISA plate. No signal amplification - reduces assay sensitivity Less flexible - each target protein needs a specific conjugated primary antibody Mainly because all proteins in the sample, including the target protein, will bind to the plate Finally, the direct ELISA technique is typically used when the immune response to an antigen needs to be analyzed.įaster than other ELISA – the technique has fewer stepsĪntigen immobilization is not specific - may cause higher background noise than indirect ELISA. As no secondary antibody is used there is no signal amplification, which reduces assay sensitivity. Direct ELISA is less flexible since a specific conjugated primary antibody is needed for each target protein. This is primarily because all proteins in the sample, including the target protein, will bind to the plate. As the antigen immobilization is not specific, higher background noise may be observed in comparison to indirect ELISA (see below). Although there are some disadvantages to this method. no potentially cross-reacting secondary antibody needed. The assay is also less prone to error since fewer reagents and steps are needed, i.e. The antigen is then detected by an antibody directly conjugated to an enzyme such as HRP.ĭirect ELISA detection is much faster than other ELISA techniques as fewer steps are required. In general, ELISAs can be grouped into the four main categories:įigure 2 illustrates the setup of direct ELISA an antigen is immobilized in the well of an ELISA plate. The detection antibody is either directly conjugated to an enzyme, such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP), or provides a binding site for a labeled secondary antibody. After immobilization, a detection antibody is added, which binds to the adsorbed antigen thereby leading to the formation of an antigen-antibody complex. The capture antibody has to be specific to the target antigen and is mainly used in a specific ELISA type called “ sandwich ELISA”. This can be achieved by direct adsorption to the plate’s surface or by using a “capture antibody”. An adjuvant, which is a chemical that provokes a generalized activation of the immune system that stimulates greater antibody production, is often mixed with the antigen prior to injection.The first step in an ELISA experiment is the immobilization of the antigen in a sample to the wall of the wells of a microtiter plate. On re-exposure to the antigen, those B cells capable of producing antibody with higher affinity antigen-binding sites will be stimulated to proliferate and produce more antibody than their lower-affinity peers. Affinity maturation occurs because of mutations in the immunoglobulin gene variable regions, resulting in B cells with slightly altered antigen-binding sites. The memory cells also undergo affinity maturation, resulting in a pool of antibodies with higher average affinity. The second injection will activate memory cells that make class IgG antibodies against the antigen. ![]() Lab animals are usually injected at least twice with antigen when being used to produce antiserum.

![]() A 5x5x5 one using highly enriched fuels might get you something like 15KRF already, and so on. Generally you can expect about 2-4KRF/t from a passively cooled 3x3x3 reactor that uses entry-level fuels like LEU-235. The cooling is much more complicated (but much more fun) as well) - just putting enderium everywhere and calling it a day won't work. NC also has tons of different fuel types, and the more volatile ones obviously give more power (but also more heat/explosions if built wrong). NC's energy production is a function of how hot your fuel burns, and how much your reactor can absorb without overheating (unlike ER's reactors, NC's can melt down if you build them wrong). NuclearCraft doesn't work like Extreme Reactors does, where (basically) the bigger you build it, the more power it produces.

The ‘Carolina’ portion of the pepper’s name is easy to guess, with the pepper originating in South Carolina. The Carolina Reaper is a cross-breed between the La Soufriere pepper from Saint Vincent and the Naga Viper pepper from Pakistan. Cultivated from the Capsicum Chinense plant, it produces exceptional heat levels. The Trinidad Scorpion pepper held the hottest pepper in the world title until two years later, in 2013, when the Carolina Reaper ripped that title out from under it.Ĭarolina Reaper peppers were developed by a US breeder, Ed Currie, in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The ghost pepper reigned supreme on the hottest pepper scale from 2007 to 2011 when the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper took the title. ![]() Ghost peppers get their name from their Assamese name, “bhut” which means “ghost.” People say that the pepper received this name because the pepper’s heat sneaks up on its victims like a ghost. In 2007, Guinness World Records named the ghost pepper as the hottest chili pepper in the world with a rating over one-million Scoville Heat Units (SHUs). Originating in India, the ghost pepper is a hybrid chili pepper known as bhut jolokia-Bhutan Pepper in Assamese. To understand what these peppers are, we must first determine the heat levels they produce and which pepper reigns supreme on the hotness level. Carolina Reaper is a long-standing debate on which pepper is hotter and what makes them so spicy. So, what’s the difference between them? We’re going to show you here. ![]() These peppers are popular in Western cuisine for creating the right level of heat in various brines, rubs, chutneys, curries, and salsas. While they are dangerous if consumed incorrectly, they add immense flavor and spice to your dishes if properly prepared. They are known to cause severe reactions if eaten on their own or by someone who may have an allergy. Carolina Reapers are some of the hottest peppers in the world. ![]() ![]() The death of these two great Ethiopian patriot warriors in battle against each other was much lamented by both Ras Mengesha and by Emperor Menelik II. Ras Alula was also wounded and died in February of 1897. Ras Hagos was defeated and died shortly thereafter of serious wounds. Ras Alula then retired to live the life of an elder statesman and advisor to Menelik II, but quarelled with Ras Hagos of Tembien and went to war against him only eleven months after Adowa, even though both the Emperor and Ras Mengesha pleaded with both men to refrain from fighting. Ras Alula however would go on to fight the Italians and participated with valour at the Battle of Adowa in 1896. Ras Alula tried valiantly to support the Emperor’s designated heir, Ras Mengesha Yohannes, but infighting among the Tigrean relatives of the late Emperor and the Italian seizure of Mereb Melash and the establishment of their new colony of Eritrea forced Ras Alula to give up this venture and both he and Ras Menshesha evenually submitted to Emperor Menelik II. However, the Mahdists burned Gondar and the Emperor marched back north to confront them at Mettema where he was killed in 1889. Before the confrontation with the Italians escalated further, Alula had to follow the Emperor south to put down a rebellion by King Tekle Haimanot of Gojjam, and to prepare to put down a parallel uprising by Menelik of Shewa. This last action was subsequent to the Italian seizure of Massawa and Sa'ati threatening Ethiopia for the first time. Ras Alula fought and defeated the Mahdists at Keren and at Kufit in 1885 and anihilated an Italian force at Dogali in 1887. Ras Alula established Asmara (now the capital of Eritrea) as his regional seat. ![]() Woizer Amlesu however died soon after their marriage.Įmperor Yohannes IV made Ras Alula ruler of Hamasein and all Mereb Melash (modern Eritrea) displacing the native nobles earning both him and the Emperor much local resentment. However in order to enhance his position at the Imperial court, he divorced his wife and married Woizero Amlesu Araya, daughter of of Ras Araya Dimtsu, the powerful and much respected uncle of Emperor Yohannes IV. Ras Alula was first married to Woizero Bitweta and had three children. ![]() He was named “Turki Basha” by Emperor Yohannes for his role in these battles. Alula participated bravely in the Ethiopian victories over Egypt at the battles of Gundet and Gura in 18. The meteoric rise of this humble born figure caused much envy and bitterness among the higher born nobles of Yohannes’ court. He came to the notice of the regional nobleman, Dejazmatch Kassa Mercha, who eventually became Emperor Yohannes IV of Ethiopia, who would raise him to the high title of Ras (equivalent to the European title of Duke). Son of a humble peasant, Alula earned distinction and respect among his peers for his leadership, his humor, his loyalty and his bravery from a young age. Known popularly as “Alula Aba Nega”, Ras Alula was born in Menawee district of Tembien in Tigrai province sometime between 18.

On April 26, 2018, Calibre 50, along with Colombian Urban singer J Balvin, received an award from Pandora Radio for being the first artists to surpass a billion streams on the platform. Calibre 50 made their Rodeo Houston debut on Mato a sold out crowd. In March 2017, Calibre 50 made history when the band became the first Regional Mexican act to perform on the Conan show on an episode that took place in Mexico City. He was subsequently replaced by Alejandro Gaxiola. Two months later, sousaphone player Martín López also left the band to work on another project, "La Iniciativa". In January 2014, drummer Augusto Guido left the band to work on his own group, "Los de Sinaloa" he was replaced by Erick García. Throughout its history, the band has recorded different styles of songs such as rancheras, corridos, ballads, cumbias, charangas, boleros, and huapangos. Their first nationwide hit was "El tierno se fue" ("The nice guy is gone") in 2011, a ranchera written by Lalo Ayala which contains many innuendos and describes a sexual act in detail. The name of the band comes from the comparison "with an element that will symbolize the strength and impact that the project has on the lives of the members, as well as those who like the Regional Mexican genre."Ĭalibre 50 first achieved notoriety for their controversial songs among them corridos. They chose the name by which they are known today: Calibre 50. However, the original Colmillo Norteño sued them over the name, and after a legal dispute Muñoz' band was forced to change their name later in 2010. The name of this new band was "Puro Colmillo Norteño", and they recorded their first album, " Renovar o Morir", under that name, as well as their first single ("El infiernito"). Nevertheless, conflicts with the other members of the band led Muñoz to quit Colmillo Norteño in early 2010, and he founded his own band later that year, recruiting Armando Ramos as guitarist and backing vocalist, Martín López as sousaphonist, and Augusto Guido as drummer. With Muñoz, the group scored the hit songs "Sueño guajiro" and "Hotel El Cid" in 2009, among others. Their musical style employs a fusion of norteño and banda music, known as norteño-banda, with low notes played by a sousaphone instead of a bass guitar as is traditional in norteño music.īefore forming Calibre 50, Edén Muñoz had been the accordionist and vocalist in the norteño-banda group, Colmillo Norteño. The band is one of the most streamed regional Mexican acts in recent history. Formed in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, in 2010 by Edén Muñoz, the band has had several lineup changes, with the current roster consisting of lead vocalist Tony Elizondo, diatonic accordionist José Mario "Marito" Gastélum, twelve-string guitarist Oscar Arrendondo, sousaphonist Alejandro Gaxiola, and drummer Erick García. ![]() Calibre 50 ( Spanish pronunciation: ) is a regional Mexican band. ![]() PdfFiller offers three monthly/annual subscription plans depending on your use.

Like we mentioned earlier, there could be a very small number of users who really do need a standalone Word to PDF converter and, if you do, this one will work. Instead, when you’re creating or editing the document in Word or Google Docs, just pick the 'PDF' option when you go to download or save. You may be OK with this if you’re just using it as a once-off, but it means the app isn’t a long-term free Word to PDF solution.įree Word To PDF Converter isn’t a bad app, it’s just underwhelming - it works well enough, but no one really needs an app to convert Word to PDF. Once those 14 days are up - in theory - you’ll have to pay up, or stop using the app. Instead, it’s actually a 14-day free trial of a paid app. ![]() Having a paid app to do a task you can do for free elsewhere isn’t the worst sin imaginable (buyer beware, eh?), but calling it “free” when it most certainly isn’t doesn’t make a good impression. For the rest of us, however, it’s totally unnecessary and we wouldn’t waste our time. We suppose you might want your Word to PDF converter offline or you might somehow have a collection of Word documents that you didn’t create and can’t edit, in which case this app might be of interest. Microsoft Word and Google Docs both allow you to save Word documents in PDF format. This means that Free Word To PDF Converter is essentially a paid app that performs a task you can do for free elsewhere. It’s a 14-day trial version of a paid product and its one saving grace - the ability to add a password to your converted PDF - is behind the paywall. So why aren’t we impressed? Well, firstly, although it’s called “Free Word To PDF Converter”, it isn’t. It’s easy to install, easy to use, and gives good results. Who needs to convert Word to PDF?įree Word To PDF Converter does exactly what it claims to, quickly and smoothly. We don’t know this for sure, however, so you might want to run your own tests. ![]() We don’t get any advice as to which is better, but we can assume that if you have many documents, in parallel might be more time-consuming. You can choose the output folder (and decide to open it on completion or not), and choose to convert your documents using a queue system or in parallel. If you’re lining up lots of docs, it might take a little longer, but not much.įree Word To PDF Converter has a few additional settings that might be of interest. Unless you’re converting a lot of Word documents at once, the process should be very quick and smooth. Once you have your Word documents lined up, check the output parameters in the lower-left corner, and hit the big green button. So, to actually convert your Word documents to PDF, you add them via the button - you can’t drag and drop. Finding your way around is easy - it’s clearly marked where you can add files or folders of Word documents, there’s a large section in the center where the business of converting goes on, and the settings you can tweak are in the lower part of the window. It has a pretty standard Windows app look to it, not very old but not clean and modern either. Appearance-wise, this free PDF converter isn’t much to look at. There’s no funny business with the install process, you don’t need to sign up to anything, and you can start converting without any messing around, something we’re grateful for. exe, install the converter, and you can begin to use it immediately.

If it upgrades to Spike-o-pult, the monkey will lose its bandana (and will not obtain it again if they upgrade to Juggernaut) and receives a catapult with a spiked ball (the spiked ball becomes much larger if it is upgraded to Juggernaut). In Bloons TD 5, if upgraded on any two upgrades for the first and second paths, they will receive a colored bandana (red or green). In Bloons TD games, the Dart Monkeys are much thinner than their Bloons counterparts. On the top of his head are two tufts of hair, and on his face are two beady, black eyes (prior to BTD6), and a tiny nose and mouth.

![]() ![]() Needless to say, when “Cities in Motion” came out in 2011, I was all for showing…well, someone…how to handle traffic patterns and mass transit once and for all. That, plus after putting in so much energy in Sandbox, Campaign mode can be easily ignored.Most, if not all of us, hate traffic. It's just that it's tough to justify the same amount of work in Campaign mode without incetives. I can't get the satisfaction rating past 80% though. Now I have $6.01 million and I can't seem to spend it fast enough! That's thanks to the 39 bus/trolleybus routes, eight metros, two waterbuses and nine trams running at once.after 200 hours of play. In my Sandbox scenario your method applies (once the citizen requests are turned off). But as that money repleneshes and you use it for more lines, that figure multiplies! You'll only make around $100 a day, so it'll take several day cycles to pay off one bus. It takes a long, long time to get the money started. The running out of money deal is why I advised against trying this all at once. However, when I performed this in Campaign I would either a) run out of money, or b) my reputation would drop into single digits (it was due to an early bug which had since been fixed). Originally posted by Lone_Wolf:I found that that worked via Sandbox. When the perpendicular bus line becomes severely over-used and you have enough money built up, replace it with a tram line. Just start with two bus lines crossing each other perpendicularly, then as you make more and more money, keep adding parallel bus lines one at a time. Also, you do NOT want to build all of these lines at once. Mind you that with each scenario completed, your infrastructure in the city will remain as it did when the scenario was completed. The way I did this, I managed to cover the entire island and make absurd income due to "forced transfers". My tactic for the first scenario was to build several parallel bus lines on one of the large islands (I chose the northern one), and then have all of those bus lines connected to each other by a perpendicular tram line. The only thing I ran into was a misunderstanding of how the completion percentages worked. Originally posted by Mochigai HHL-CO:I managed to get through the entire campaign just fine without much trouble. Then at least we could hope for bigger changes in the game in the future, like a completely new UI and normal campaign. UI designer may deserve an even more stern lecture, although I don't know how to design good UI myself.Īt times like this I regret greatly that games are rarely open-source. Just to explain to him why things like that should not be done. That being said, I still would like to have a talk with campaign designer. Collossal Order seems to be a smaller company, like my own workplace, so they probably have the same problems we do: while there is less bureucracy, there is more chaos, which may be OK for development, but very bad for planning. Their programmer(s) probably are too busy with reproducing bugs & trying to fix them, while fending off designers/managers requests for new features ("that SHOP should have been up and running two weeks ago, for goodness sake!"), So, managers don't know the real state of patch (both list of fixes and ETA) and are afraid to tell community anything, for the fear of being exposed as liars later. I am a game developer by trade myself, so I probably can justify bad communications. There are a lot of ways to improve it, but I'm afraid its too late, because good campaign requres a lot of design, and a lot of content (so players have SOMETHING to unlock, you know). I realise that for most players CIM is about sandbox and maybe multiplayer, but it is unfortunate that sequel's campaign is so unsatisfying. Changing of cities and time periods in the first game was SO much better (even if it was very far from perfect). From what I'm seeing, campaign in this game isn't going to give me any of it. Maybe I'll try to repeat the first level once more and see if I can do better, but still. I can't bring myself to play this "campaign" any longer. which happens to be the very same level, with all my hated infrastructure intact, and a new lofty goal of achieving a better coverage! Not a new city. But finally, I finished the level, got the achievement and moved on to the next level. I was sick of this darned city, of my blundered attempt at building mass transit system. In the end, I was building lines randomly just to add a little bit more coverage. I had to cover the whole map with lines to get those "15% coverage". So I struggled with the very first level of campaign for nearly a week. |
