revtex and algorithm error

Floating environments created with the float package (as algorithm is) are incompatible with the revtex4-1 class.
The only way you have to include such an environment in your document, is to use the floating specifier H, which avoids the environment to float.
MWE:

\documentclass[aip, amsmath, amssymb, reprint]{revtex4-1}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{dcolumn}
\usepackage{bm}
%\usepackage{float} % loaded by algorithm
\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{algpseudocode}

\usepackage{lipsum} % just for dummy text

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]

\begin{algorithm}[H]
  \caption{Hello}
  \label{EPSA}
   \begin{algorithmic}[1]
   \State $T_m= \min\limits_k (T_c(k)),  k_m= \arg\min\limits_k (T_c(k))$
   \end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

\lipsum[1]

\end{document}

When a quick and simplistic latex-style formula is needed in Inkscape, the "Latin Modern Roman" font may be used. Latest versions of Inkscape incorporate buttons to create subscripts and supersripts when editing text.

How to use svn merge to preview svn update

How to use svn merge to preview svn update

1. Change to the root directory of your working copy.
2. Run the command:
   

   svn merge --dry-run -r BASE:HEAD .
   

   Note: The trailing “dot” is the path of the working copy, and it is required even if you are already inside the working copy, which you should be after step 1.
   
3. The above command requests a “dry run” of what will happen if we receive all changes that occurred after our working revision (BASE) and the most recent revision in the repository (HEAD). This is what svn update does, too.
4. Review the output of svn merge and check for conflicts. If you spot any, try using svn diff to determine what is causing the conflict, or just prepare yourself to fix the conflict ASAP!
5. Now that you know how friendly or destructive update will be with your working copy, run svn update to let the fun begin!
