  Medical News: Yoga in Middle Age Linked to Reduced Weight Gain - in Primary Care, Alternative Medicine from MedPage ...
Be aware that this study found an association between practicing yoga weekly for four or more years and a reduction in weight gain in both middle-aged normal weight and overweight participants.
There was a 12.6-pound gain for non-yoga group versus 9.5 pounds for the yoga group.
Strikingly, for those who were already overweight, the total weight gain difference came to 18.5 pounds, showing that some participants in the observational study lost weight.

 Primary gain Information
The presumed motivation of secondary gain is the overall reduction of anxiety.
Secondary gain is often confused with primary gain in the forensic setting, incorrectly equated or confused with malingering or viewed as a conscious or deliberate process that should therefore disqualify the litigant from receipt of any settlement.
In the field of chronic pain determined to be a pain disorder, the secondary gain involved usually consists of the management of emotions that otherwise could be overwhelming to the conscious mind by converting them to the palpable experience of pain, thus harnessing the energies and reducing overall anxiety.

 ACS::HRC#1 : Gain, Noise, Linearity, Saturation
The main goal is to measure the primary system gains of 1, 2, 4 and 8 e-/DN with the photon-transfer method as well as the read noise for each amplifier of the HRC flight build 1 detector.
A sequence of flat field pairs is acquired at each gain setting, over as wide a range in count levels as possible, from the read-out noise at low levels (usually at the shortest integration time of 0.1 sec), through the linear part of the curve, and up to non-linearities and saturation at the highest levels.
The system gain (e-/DN) and total noise (e-) of the primary gain settings of 1, 2, 4, and 8 for the HRC build 1 detector were measured.

 ACS::WFC#4 : Gain, Noise, Linearity, Saturation
The main goal is to measure the primary system gains of 1, 2, 4 and 8 e-/DN with the photon-transfer method as well as the read noise for each amplifier of the WFC flight build 4 detector.
We give preference to the SSDIF gains since their photon-transfer curves are more complete, and to the TB/TV 3 read noise, because of the completely dark environment of the chamber (no straylight contamination on the imaging area of the bias frames).
The system gain (e-/DN) and total noise (e-) of the primary gain settings of 1, 2, 4, and 8 for the WFC build 4 detector were measured.

 The DCM: Chiropractic Primary Care, Part II
The DCM: Chiropractic Primary Care, Part II The announcement of Western States Chiropractic College's plans to implement a new degree program leading to a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine (DCM) in the June 3, 1994 issue of Dynamic Chiropractic, has stimulated a flood of telephone calls and letters about the program.
Another concern is that the chiropractor who enters the DCM program would not be able to deliver primary care after one additional year of training, and even if competency was attained, the power structure of the medical profession would never allow a chiropractor to serve as a primary-care provider.
The DCM curriculum, which builds on the competencies in basic science, clinical diagnosis, and patient management gained in four years of rigorous study in the DC program, is a rational approach to the creation of a conservative primary-care provider.

 GMRT Primary Beam Shapes
The `primary beam' which is what the main lobe of the far-field pattern is generally referred to as in radio astronomy modulates the field of view.
All the sources in the field, depending on their location within the beam are multiplied by the gain pattern of the primary beam.
This is generally achieved by modelling the primary beam of the antenna by a high-order polynomial or a gaussian.

 Rules of the Game: Two-Handed Fighting (Part One)
Primary Hand, Primary Weapon: If a character is only attacking with a single weapon, it’s fine to treat that as a primary weapon, regardless of what hand it’s held in.
Attacks with a primary weapon in a two-weapon attack take a penalty on the attack roll because attacking with two weapons at once proves very tricky.
When you use both ends of a double weapon, you fight exactly as though you're wielding a one-handed weapon in your primary hand and a light weapon in your off hand -- think of a double weapon as having a primary end and an off-hand end.

 Existential resistance to life: ambivalence, avoidance & control Journal of Heart Centered Therapies - Find Articles
The primary gain of a neurotic behavior is that intrapsychic conflict and tension are reduced through the use of a defense mechanism, such as repression, regression, denial, or rationalization (Kaplan and Sadock, 1991).
The primary gain of resistance to life is reducing the fear of failure and/or success, of death anxiety or the fear of annihilation, of despair and separation anxiety, of the fear of intimacy or engulfment and the deep longing for connection underlying either one.
The secondary gain of using resistance (and the resulting hardships and isolation) can be to avoid challenge, intimacy or connection.

 The Seattle Times: Local News: Parties ask court to scuttle top-two primary
March 2004: The Legislature approves a "Louisiana-style" — or top-two — primary, which is similar to the blanket primary in that voters may vote for anyone regardless of party.
The level of cooperation between the state Republican and Democratic parties on the primary case is striking, considering both camps are slugging it out in a Wenatchee courtroom over who will be the state's governor.
Although the blanket primary served as a way to winnow the field of major-party candidates to one Democrat and one Republican, the parties complained it allowed interlopers — voters who didn't share their beliefs — to help select their candidates.

 The VHF Gain Game
A 5/8th wave antenna has 3dB gain over a 1/4 wl antenna ONLY when the groundplane is perfectly flat, located at the base of the antenna, is nearly solid conductive metal, and extends out for a few wavelengths in every direction.
The gain comes exclusively because the 5/8th wave has a current maximum (radiation center) 3/8th wave above the groundplane, and the reflection from the groundplane at low incident angles is in the correct phase to form a null at high angles in the far field.
One point about the gain antennas and mountains etc is that I doubt most of us live in the shadow of a huge mountain with the repeater on top of it.

With the much-publicized New Hampshire primary past, South Carolina voters are suddenly the most important people in the world to the GOP candidates.
South Carolina primary voters have a history of sticking with front-runners and established candidates, underscored by the fact that no GOP candidate since 1980 secured his party's nomination without winning South Carolina.
New Hampshire's impact on American politics began long before its primary gained importance – in 1831, the state legislature was the first one in the country to support a national nominating convention for the president and vice president.

 Astrocartography of Princess Grace
Primary Mercury is also positioned in a vertical, Midheaven position near the tiny princi­pality of Monaco (43N42; 7E23), where she later assumed her final role, as Princess Grace.
According to biographer James Spada, Grace was born into a family that pro­vided her with little understanding or emotional support.1 The domineering temperament of her parents and the athletically oriented atmosphere in which her other siblings thrived were anathema to the more introverted and artistic young girl.
Her first opportunity to gain “freedom” (Primary Uranus)—acceptance into a respected school of dramatic arts—provided her with a chance to meet other like-minded artists who would respect her cre­ative goals.

 Medical News: Calcium Plus Vitamin D May Cut Older Women's Weight Gain - in Primary Care, Weight Management from ...
Explain to interested patients that this study suggests that calcium and vitamin D supplements may have a small effect to help prevent weight gain in postmenopausal women but the benefit is greater for those getting less than the recommended 1,200 mg daily amount of calcium.
Because the study was in postmenopausal women, it is possible to generalize to a group for whom slow but steady weight gain can be a common health concern, they said.
Preventing weight gain is an important public health goal, and caloric restriction and daily physical activity should still be considered the basic tenets of weight management, the researchers said.

In conclusion, however, the circuit effects a large current gain but there was no power gain.
Walt's current probes and high resolution test equipment were able to measure the input power during the short pulse of the primary circuit.
In addition to measurement problems, the lack of replication of a current gain appears to stem from substituting components with high internal resistance, slow switching rate capability, or not matching impedance to maintain a sharp pulse.

Patients' symptoms often have a significant psychological component, and physicians sometimes categorize psychological motivators into primary and secondary gain.
For example, if a patient is particularly guilty about being unable to perform some task, their medical symptoms may be amplified as a psychological defense against the guilt.
These may but need not be recognized by the patient.
