![]() When we think of providing our bodies with energy, we usually think about movement and physical activity. The cells of your body need glucose to obtain energy, and they cannot function without it. Glucose is a simple sugar that your body gets from the food you eat. This test helps to detect hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and diabetes (which can occur after long-term steroid therapy). Tests of blood glucose levels are performed to determine if an individual’s blood glucose is in normal range. Low BUN levels are uncommon and are usually not as important they can suggest certain conditions, such as malnutrition, over-hydration, or liver disease, but doctors usually use other tests to monitor these conditions. Even though increased protein levels in a person’s diet can cause their blood urea nitrogen levels to increase, elevated BUN may suggest kidney involvement due to lupus or another condition such as dehydration that causes decreased blood flow to the kidneys. To evaluate an individual’s BUN level, blood is drawn from the vein, and the concentration of urea nitrogen in the blood is evaluated and compared to a standard value for that person’s age range. From the liver, urea travels in your blood to the kidneys, which filter the urea and flush it from your body in the form of urine. The liver produces nitrogen in the form of ammonia (NH3) as it breaks down proteins into their constituent amino acids. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN): The BUN test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood.The eGFR is an educated estimate of the amount of blood that is filtered per minute by your glomeruli and is often used to detect kidney damage. Glomeruli are tiny ball-shaped structures in your kidneys that help filter blood and prevent the loss of valuable substances, such as blood cells and proteins. Your serum (blood) creatinine level can also be combined with your age, weight, and gender to evaluate your estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). In addition, since creatinine is usually removed from the blood at a constant rate, blood creatinine levels can be used as a standard by which doctors can compare other urine or blood tests. The combination of blood and urine samples can be used to evaluate a creatine clearance-how effectively your kidneys filter small molecules, such as creatinine, from your blood. Sometimes individuals are asked to provide a 24-hour urine sample for further assessment.Other conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, can also cause elevated creatinine levels. Increased blood creatinine levels may indicate an increase in lupus involvement of the kidney. Creatinine levels are measured by taking a sample of blood from your vein then, the concentration of creatinine in your blood is compared to a standard amount for your age and sex. Creatinine is formed at a constant rate in the body and excreted by the kidneys, so by evaluating the amount of creatinine in your blood, your doctor can determine how efficiently your kidneys are working. Creatinine: Creatinine is produced by your muscles as they breakdown creatine, a substance involved in muscle contraction.The creatinine blood test and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test are used to assess kidney function in people with lupus kidney disease (nephritis). Your doctor will counsel you regarding the results of your personal blood work and laboratory tests. The information below is meant to provide an overview of these tests. Usually, it consists of about 7-25 tests. A blood chemistry panel is another common test used to evaluate a variety of components. ![]()

Ranked 3,066th, she just barely made it into the top 16 for Kansas. He’s playing against BayleeDeLaurier who’s been into pinball for just over a year. But you know I’m here to have fun," says Phil Cridlebaugh, who is ranked 194th in the world, and leads in Kansas state rankings. "I’m kind of a point whore so I like to try to win as much as I can to increase my ranking. The bar is also IFPA sanctioned and hosts tournaments that add to player’s international rankings. It’s about the high score, solving the puzzle, keeping the ball in play, and practice. "But i can’t remove all the people space.”ĭuring the tournaments there’s a small buy in, but players don’t come for the prize money. ![]() "I know I’ll have eight there I hope to find room for ten," laughs Scholes. He hopes to be able to house more machines and tournaments. In fact, this next week Scholes is moving to a new bigger location less than a mile away to 614 Reynolds Ave in Kansas City, Kan. It’s like an NCAA bracket style, with double elimination rounds, and they attract all levels of players - and lots of them. Piles of quarters and drinks fill the tables.Įvery week since 403 Club opened in 2011, the narrow bar tucked away in Strawberry Hill has hosted open tournaments. They rotate between seven different machines: The Twilight Zone AC/DC and Wizard of Oz from the new Jersey Jack pinball manufacturer. "It’s unusual to see a bank of pinball machines in the Midwest anywhere," says Marion Richards, who is at 403 Club for a tournament with his two kids, ages 8 and 9 who also play. When he opened his bar, 403 Club in Kansas City, Kan., in 2011 he wanted to make it a pinball destination. He credits the dwindling local pinball population of the past 15 years to bar owners and vendors not wanting to deal with all the upkeep on the complicated machines. Scholes played a lot of pinball growing up. "It’s a grassroots movement in the fact that there’s only a few people that are trying to bring it back especially in Kansas City, and you know it’s gaining popularity so I don’t think it’s all for naught," says Scholes. "Three or four years ago I couldn’t even tell you one tournament in Kansas, and now there’s dozens," says Zach.Īnd that has a lot to do with Kansas City bar owner Artie Scholes. ![]() The increase isn’t just seen in the typical pinball hot spots like Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Denver and places on the west coast. "If you flash forward to today, there are actually over 1600 events with 22,000 players ranked, and it just keeps increasing up every year," says Zach. Zach says at the time when they re-launched there were only 50 events annually and 500 players ranked world wide. So, in 2005 the Sharpe brothers took over the once defunct International Flipper Pinball Association ( IFPA) and started a professional ranking system for players. There was no, like, umbrella of trying to achieve something outside of just one tournament," says Zach. Zach and Josh Sharpe competed through their teens and into adulthood in various tournaments, but they wanted to take pinball competitions to the next level. With it’s legalization and newer technology, pinball took off with arcades in the 1980s and 90s all around the country. "Like, our dad saved pinball," says Zach. He testified before the New York City Council in 1976 calling his shots with a ‘Babe Ruth-esque’ style to prove that pinball is in fact a game of skill. Their father Roger Sharpe is a pinball designer and is idolized in the pinball world. He and his brother Josh Sharpe, ranked 24th, were raised on pinball. ![]() “I am currently ranked 2 out of approximately 22,000 players in the world.” says Chicagoan Zach Sharpe, who is what you might call a pinball wizard. ![]() ![]() Their atmosphere and service is definitely 5 star compared to other Chinese dim sum place I’ve ever been to.

Dim sum is best fresh out of the steam platters and succulent dishes. I don't know why anyone would want to buy dim sum takeout on vacation. Remember that dim sum is generally an afternoon thing not served after 2:30 in most Restaurants.įor a fun Chinatown dim sum experience I might suggest lunch time at Oriental Palace or Great Eastern.įor Super high quality, city view is definitely high on the list but note they only serve lunch and close about 2:30 for the last customer. I really like City View for the food, but if I was a tourist I wouldn't want to go there because it really has no authentic old-time Chinese feel. It is fun if you're looking for dive dim sum, but honestly last time I went there it was just so filled with European tourists and no Chinese that the allure really dimmed for me.

Though they did eventually get back together, Elle reports that they mostly decided to keep things quiet going forward.

By Alyssa Bailey Published: Oct 29, 2021. According to E!, the couple split in June 2016 after seven months of dating - but at the time, a source claimed they could likely "get back together tomorrow." We're not sure if the rumors were ever true, but if they did quietly split, they sorted it out quickly behind the scenes. ![]() ![]() ![]() It begins with a glossary of notation (I like it when books do this) and ends with a 9-page bibliography. There are lots of diagrams, and although equation-heavy it doesn’t hang about proving things, sending you to the references instead. It’s short, about 200 pages, and nicely printed. “Explorations in Time-Frequency Analysis” is a monograph digressing on things the author has found interesting in the past 30 years, which - what luck! - happen to be about time-frequency analysis. Returning to the paper recently, I learned that Flandrin had written a book on the subject, and I bought a copy hoping it might bridge the conceptual gap. (It turns out there are other good reasons one could make this choice, but I didn’t know that. So I didn’t really understand the paper, and a programmer has plenty to do, and that is one reason why Sonic Visualiser’s “Peak-Frequency Spectrogram” layer calculates instantaneous frequencies from the phase difference between successive columns, something which I found much easier to understand. I can dimly remember this world, because my undergraduate degree - who am I kidding, my only degree - started out as pure maths, but I haven’t inhabited it for any of my working life. Both time-domain functions and time-frequency representations are continuous, and practical questions about overlap and window length don’t arise. Signals are finite-energy functions over infinite domains, and a spectrogram is a double integral over time and angular frequency. ![]() The Auger & Flandrin paper instead comes from a world that summarises a spectrogram as a two-dimensional Wigner-Ville distribution filtered with a smoothing window leading to a time-frequency representation of the Cohen’s class. The language used in a publication like the DAFx book is typical in this world. There is nothing particularly mathematical about the implementation of this, and any intuition used by the programmer is a mixture of the visual and techniques from the world of engineering. The smoothing window is because your Fourier transform - a thing which matches up sinusoids of different frequencies against a signal to identify which ones would add up to it - operates on an infinite signal, consisting of the input you give it repeated forever in both directions: this will have a discontinuity each time it wraps around, and the smoothing window removes some of the frequency artifacts from these discontinuities. The short slices are because you want a fixed, smallish number of output bins, and you have various tradeoffs - time and frequency resolution and computational efficiency - to consider in that. For a programmer, a spectrogram comes from taking short overlapping slices of a sampled signal, multiplying each by a smoothing window shape, applying a short-time Fourier transform, and taking the magnitudes of the complex output bins to get one column of the spectrogram per slice of input. I have since realised this is partly because it isn’t all that clear with its notation, but there is also a big gap between the naive programmer’s view (that’s mine) of a spectrogram and the mathematical analysis used in the paper. I read this paper about 15 years ago and didn’t understand it. Illustration from Auger & Flandrin (1995) This crunchy publication (21 pages, dozens of equations and figures) took a pleasing idea - replacing the familiar grid-format time-frequency spectrogram with a field of precisely localised points calculated using both magnitude and phase of the frequency bins, rather than only magnitude as a traditional spectrogram does - and set out the mathematics of applying it to a number of different time-frequency and time-scale representations. Patrick Flandrin is a physicist and signal-processing researcher whose name I first encountered as co-author (with François Auger) of a 1995 IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing paper called “Improving the Readability of Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Representations by the Reassignment Method”. ![]() |
