Defining Data Types in Juvix
A crucial aspect of any programming language is the ability to define custom data types. In Juvix, these are known as inductive types. An inductive type is a type with elements constructed from a finite set of constructors.
Consider as a first example where we define a data type Bool with two constructors, true and false.
type Bool :=
| true : Bool
| false : Bool;
Syntax of Data Type Declaration
General Declaration
The declaration of a data type in Juvix consists of the keyword type, followed by a unique name, optional type parameters, and constructors.
type <name> <type-parameters> :=
 | <constructor1> : <type1>
 | ...
 | <constructorn> : <typen>;
In this syntax:
 - <name> represents a unique name for the declared data type.
 - <type-parameters> denote optional type parameters in the form A B C ... or with typing information (A : Type). These parameters define the return type of the constructors, i.e., <name> <type-parameters>.
 - <constructor1> through <constructorn> are the constructors of the data type. Each constructor has a unique name and a type, which can be the type of the declared data type or a function type from the types of the arguments to the type of the declared data type.
While there are variations in the syntax for declaring a data type (see the ADT syntax and record syntax), the most general syntax is the one outlined above.
Note
A data type declaration implicitly declares a module with the same name as the data type, containing the symbols of the constructors, and the type of the data type itself. One can open this module to access these symbols or hide it to prevent access to them.
Example of data types
The Unit type, the simplest data type, has a single constructor named unit.
type Unit := unit : Unit;
We then declare the Nat type, representing unary natural numbers. It introduces two constructors: zero and suc. For instance, suc zero represents one, while suc (suc zero) represents two.
type Nat :=
| zero : Nat
| suc : Nat -> Nat;
These constructors function as regular functions or patterns in pattern matching when defining functions. Here is an example of a function adding two natural numbers:
syntax operator + additive;
+ : Nat -> Nat -> Nat
| zero b := b
| (suc a) b := suc (a + b);
ADT syntax
As an alternative to the above syntax, we can use a more familiar and compact syntax for declaring data types. This syntax is inspired by ADT syntax in Haskell.
type <name> <type-parameters> :=
 | <constructor1> <arg1-1> ... <arg1-n>
 | ...
 | <constructorN> <argn-1> ... <argn-n>;
Different from the previous presentation, here the constructors do not have typing information.
If a type constructor as above has no arguments, then its type is the type of the data type being declared. In the case the type constructor has arguments, then its type is the function type from the types of the arguments to the type of the data type being declared.
For example, the Nat type can be declared as follows:
type Nat :=
| Z
| S Nat;
Another example is the List type, which is polymorphic in the type of its elements.
type List A :=
| Nil
| Cons A (List A);
Polymorphic data type
A data type can possess type parameters. When a data type has a type parameter A, it is referred to as polymorphic in A.
A classic example of this concept is the List type, which is polymorphic in the type of its list elements.
syntax operator :: cons;
type List (A : Type) :=
| nil : List A
| :: : A -> List A -> List A;
The following function determines whether an element is in a list or not.
elem {A} (eq : A -> A -> Bool) (s : A) : List A -> Bool
| nil := false
| (x :: xs) := eq s x || elem eq s xs;
For more examples of inductive types and how to use them, see the Juvix standard library.


IA Scholar Query: Eavesdropper Selection Strategies in Wireless Source Localization Networks. _URL_ Internet Archive Scholar query results feed en _EMAIL_ Tue, 27 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT fatcat-scholar _URL_ 1440 QSLT: A Quantum-Based Lightweight Transmission Mechanism against Eavesdropping for IoT Networks _URL_ Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a promising paradigm for Internet of Things (IoT) networks against eavesdropping attacks. However, classical quantum-based mechanisms are overweight and expensive for resource-constrained IoT devices. That is, the devices need to frequently exchange with the QKD controller via an out-band quantum channel. In this paper, we propose a novel Quantum-based Secure and Lightweight Transmission (QSLT) mechanism to ease the overweight pain for IoT devices against eavesdropping. Particularly, the mechanism predistributes quantum keys into IoT devices with SIM cards. Using one of the keys, QSLT encrypts or decrypts IoT sensitive data. It is noting that an in-band key-selection method is used to negotiate the session key between two different devices. For example, on one IoT device, the in-band method inserts a key-selection field at the end of the encrypted data to indicate the key's sequence number. After another device receives the data, QSLT extracts the key-selection field and decrypts the data with the selected quantum key stored locally. We implement the proposed mechanism and evaluate its security and transmission performances. Experimental results show that QSLT can transmit IoT data with a lower delay while guaranteeing the security performance. Besides, QSLT also decreases power usage by approximately 58.77% compared with state of the art mechanisms.

Such enhanced network agility will require developing a self-evolving capability in designing both the network architecture and resource management to intelligently utilize resources, reduce operational costs, and achieve the coveted quality of service (QoS). To enable this capability, the necessity of considering an integrated vertical heterogeneous network (VHetNet) architecture appears to be inevitable due to its high inherent agility. Moreover, employing an intelligent framework is another crucial requirement for self-evolving networks to deal with real-time network optimization problems. Hence, in this work, to provide a better insight on network architecture design in support of self-evolving networks, we highlight the merits of integrated VHetNet architecture while proposing an intelligent framework for self-evolving integrated vertical heterogeneous networks (SEI-VHetNets). The impact of the challenges associated with SEI-VHetNet architecture, on network management is also studied considering a generalized network model. Furthermore, the current literature on network management of integrated VHetNets along with the recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) solutions are discussed. Accordingly, the core challenges of integrating AI/ML in SEI-VHetNets are identified. Finally, the potential future research directions for advancing the autonomous and self-evolving capabilities of SEI-VHetNets are discussed. Amin Farajzadeh, Mohammad G.

Given their growing popularity and availability, and advances in communications technology, more sophisticated ways to disable these vehicles must be sought. Various forms of jamming are used to disable drones, but more advanced techniques such as deception and UAV takeover are considerably difficult to implement, and there is a large research gap in this area. Currently, machine and deep learning techniques are popular and are also used in various drone-related applications. However, no detailed research has been conducted so far on the use of these techniques for jamming and deception of UAVs. This paper focuses on exploring the current techniques in the area of jamming and deception. A survey on the use of machine or deep learning specifically in UAV-related applications is also conducted. The paper provides insight into the issues described and encourages more detailed research in this area.

The major enabler for this exciting ecosystem is the provision of broadband, low-delay, and reliable wireless coverage to the ever-increasing number of vessels, buoys, platforms, sensors, and actuators. Towards this end, the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in maritime communications introduces an aerial dimension to wireless connectivity going above and beyond current deployments, which are mainly relying on shore-based base stations with limited coverage and satellite links with high latency. Considering the potential of UAV-aided wireless communications, this survey presents the state-of-the-art in UAV-aided maritime communications, which, in general, are based on both conventional optimization and machine-learning-aided approaches. More specifically, relevant UAV-based network architectures are discussed together with the role of their building blocks. Then, physical-layer, resource management, and cloud/edge computing and caching UAV-aided solutions in maritime environments are discussed and grouped based on their performance targets. Moreover, as UAVs are characterized by flexible deployment with high re-positioning capabilities, studies on UAV trajectory optimization for maritime applications are thoroughly discussed. In addition, aiming at shedding light on the current status of real-world deployments, experimental studies on UAV-aided maritime communications are presented and implementation details are given. Finally, several important open issues in the area of UAV-aided maritime communications are given, related to the integration of sixth generation (6G) advancements. Nikolaos Nomikos, Panagiotis K.

Illustrating the complexity of the problem and contributing to the search for realistic solutions, this cumulative dissertation deals with privacy threats posed by mobile apps, web tracking, and embedded sensors. The dissertation starts with an introductory chapter that establishes the motivation and introduces the theoretical background, followed by four parts: Part I focuses on privacy threats posed by sensors embedded into consumer devices. First, three studies provide an overview of the rich variety of personal information that can be inferred from eye-tracking data, accelerometer data, and voice recordings. Second, a study on users' perceptions about the privacy impacts of voice and speech analysis is presented. Third, the feasibility and detectability of smartphone-based eavesdropping is investigated, addressing accelerometers as a possible eavesdropping channel. Fourth, the privacy-invading potential of video games and their associated sensor-equipped hardware is explored. Part II focuses on data practices of mobile apps. An undercover investigation is presented, probing whether app vendors comply with transparency obligations prescribed by EU's General Data Protection Regulation. While the law grants consumers the right to access the personal data that companies hold about them, the study reveals severe obstacles to exercising this right in practice.

How to Make a Freedom of Access Act Request
There is no central government records office that services Freedom of Access Act requests. Each public body or agency responds individually to requests for its own records. To submit a request, you should determine which public body or agency is likely to maintain the records you are seeking and submit a request to the individual designated as the Freedom of Access Act contact for that body or agency. Please refer to the State of Maine Freedom of Access Act Contacts list for individual contact information.
Is there a form that must be used to make a Freedom of Access Act request?
No. There are no required forms.
Does my Freedom of Access Act request have to be in writing?
No. The Freedom of Access Act does not require that requests for public records be in writing. However, most bodies and agencies ask individuals to submit requests in writing in order to maintain a record of when the request was received and what records were specifically requested.
What should I say in my request?
In order for the body, agency or official to promptly respond to your request, you should be as specific as possible when describing the records you are seeking. If a particular document is required, it should be identified precisely—preferably by author, date and title. However, a request does not have to be that specific. If you cannot identify a specific record, you should clearly explain the type of records you are seeking, from what timeframe and what subject the records should contain.
For example, assume you want to obtain a list of active landfills near your home. A request to the state Department of Environmental Protection asking for "all records on landfills" is very broad and would likely produce volumes of records. The fees for such a request would be very high; the agency would likely find your request too vague and ask that you make it more specific. On the other hand, a request for "all records identifying landfills within 20 miles of 147 Main Street in Augusta" is very specific and the request might fail to produce the information you desire because the agency has no record containing data organized in that exact fashion.
You might instead consider requesting any record that identifies "all active landfills in Augusta" or "all active landfills in Kennebec County." It is more likely that a record exists which contains this information. You might also want to explain to the agency exactly what information you hope to learn from the record. In other words, if you are really trying to determine whether any active landfills near your home in Augusta accept only wood waste, this additional explanation may help the agency narrow its search and find a record that meets the exact request.

I was looking at a book of FEM on problems of Diffusion-Transport.
$$-div(\mu \nabla u) + b \cdot \nabla u + \gamma u = f \qquad in~\Omega$$ $$u = 0 \qquad in~\partial\Omega\text{ (in the boundaries)}$$
It says that if $\displaystyle \frac{|b|}{\mu} \gg 1$ then the problem is a problem dominated by transport.
Taking some stuff from the previous chapter, more precisely the Galerking analysis of stability and convergence, and the approximation of the error, we have
$$\displaystyle M \cong \mu + |b| \qquad \textrm{continuity constant}$$ $$\alpha = \mu \qquad \textrm{coercivity constant}$$
Then it has $$\displaystyle \frac{M}{\alpha} \cong1+\frac{|b|}{\mu} \gg 1$$
As a consequence of that, it concludes that, the estimation of the error is $$\displaystyle ||u -u_h|| ≤C\frac{M}{\alpha}h^r|u|_{H^{r+1}(\Omega)}$$
which tell us that the Galerkin's method could give unsatisfactory results if the space step $h$ isn't small enough.
I Can't understand how can it conclude such thing. Any idea? Please, do not give complex explanations, I'm just trying to understand this FEM stuff, I'm a computer science student more than a math one.

I'm not exactly clear what your question is? Which of the steps you state is not clear to you? – Wolfgang Bangerth Jan 22 '13 at 2:24
1 Answer 1
up vote 2 down vote accepted
If you follow the analysis until the last equation, then you can see the problem. You write:
$|| u-u_h|| \le C \frac{M}{\alpha} h^r |u|_{H^{r+1}(\Omega)}$
which from the expression just above it could also be written as
$|| u-u_h|| \le C \left(1+\frac{|b|}{\mu}\right) h^r |u|_{H^{r+1}(\Omega)}$
Now say you want to solve a problem for a fixed mesh size. In the first problem $|b|=\mu$, then you have
$|| u-u_h|| \le 2C h^r |u|_{H^{r+1}(\Omega)}$
Now you move to the next problem and the transport is strong compared to diffusion, $|b|=10^4 \mu$.
$|| u-u_h|| \le 10^4 C h^r |u|_{H^{r+1}(\Omega)}$
So on a mesh with fixed size, the second solution is orders of magnitude worse. The only way to improve it is to decrease $h$ to an amount that resolves the transport scale (counteracting the huge constant).
share|improve this answer
I can see that the second solution is worse, so I suppose we decide to reduce the step size $h$ because is the only parameter that we can manipulate to make that result better, is that true? – BRabbit27 Jan 22 '13 at 7:37
Yes, that is why $h$ must be'small enough'. – Nathan Collier Jan 22 '13 at 8:19

Centring of Floating Roof
Proper sealing of a floating roof rim space as well as the general life expectance of a sealing system are based on adequate and sufficient centring of the floating roof.
Foam filled primary seals and spring loaded seals can offer sufficient centring forces. Liquid filled seals provide little centring forces and require perfect tank roundness.
The centring characteristic and the specific centring forces of a certain sealing system can be described by comparing the compression forces existing at two diametrical points of the floating roof, as shown in the following diagram. Sealing systems with good centring characteristic show progressive increase of sealing forces when the rim space is reduced.

What do Tom Petty's songs have in connection with the moon and space?
Musicians have a great privilege: While they will eventually have to leave this world, their music will live on and continue to touch our hearts even after they pass. The world-renowned and well-loved American singer, Tom Petty, passed away last October (10.02.17), age 66.
Aside from his solo career, Petty was also a member of a band that included several famous musical artists: Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, George Harrison and Jeff Lynne. The band was called The Traveling Wilburys, which many considered to be a supergroup.
In 1989 (when your parents were kids), Petty released a solo album titled "Full Moon Forever". This album featured one of Petty's most famous signature songs: "Free Falling". Something similar happens to a capsule (a chamber for entering Earth's atmosphere) that is part of the manned Russian spacecraft Soyuz, for example when it's carrying astronauts or cosmonauts returning to Earth from missions on the International Space Station. After the capsule enters the Earth's atmosphere and the falling speed of the re-entry capsule is reduced due to the air resistance, a large drogue parachute is deployed and slows down the capsule's fall. When it reaches the height of one meter above the ground, rocket engines are fired to soften the landing. Teams that monitor the landing know the exact location in advance, and arrive at the landing site to retrieve the cosmonauts or astronauts and take them back home, to Earth's familiar gravity.
Free Falling / 1989
If you want to learn more about the Soyuz, you can see the article from the Israel Space Agency – here (in Hebrew)
Link to the article about the Soyuz on the Israel Space Agency website
Another song by Petty that the SpaceIL Kids team really loves is "Learning to Fly":
"I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing."
Petty was right. Landing is one of the hardest challenges of any aircraft.
We at SpaceIL also put a lot of time and effort into planning the landing phase of our spacecraft on the Moon.
Learning to Fly / 1991
Farewell, Tom Petty, and thanks for the music.
Many thanks to Meni Aviram for the music consulting and to Yoav Landsman for the scientific consulting.

EN12090 - Determination of Shear Behavior of Thermal Insulation Products
This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the shear behavior. It is applicable to thermal insulating products used in building applications.
The tests described in this standard do not determine pure shear behaviour, but measure the effects of applying two opposite parallel forces to the major faces of the test specimen. The application of a force tangentially to the major surface of the test specimen is considered to represent more closely the stresses imposed upon thermal insulation products in many building applications, particularly walls, than other methods of measuring shear performance, e.g. bending tests.
In principle there are two methods of tests, both in a shear mode:
- Single test specimen arrangement
- Double test specimen arrangement
Single test specimen arrangement
The test machine exerts longitudinal shear forces through two parallel plates bonded to a single test specimen. The parallel plates are mounted to tension coupling mounted to the load cell and the base adaptor of the test machine. This flexibility takes care of the effect of specimen varied thickness.
Test specimen size: (L) 250mm (W) 50mm (T) 100mm
Double test specimen arrangement
The test machine exerts longitudinal shear forces through three parallel plates bonded to a double test specimen. The parallel plates shall be rigid, with the outer plates attached to a fixed mounting to the base of the test machine and the central plate to a tension coupling mounted to the load cell of the test machine.
Test specimen size: (L) 200mm (W) 100mm (T) 100mm
We suggest using a tensile testing system of dual-column design together with the appropriate test fixture according to the testing standard.
For this test, we use the specimen protect feature of Bluehill when loading the specimen and fixture into the machine. This is to prevent any overloading of specimen during this process prior to test. We then in the test method drive to a preload to eliminate any slack in the specimen, then at a constant speed of the crosshead of 3mm/min until a failure occurs. it is important to have a high-speed intelligent test data sampling rate of 100 Hz to the PC ensure the capture and record of shear strength and shear modulus.

The Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherds (Ashton Unity) was founded in Ashton-Under-Lyne, England, in 1826 as a "sick and burial club". It's popularity grew swiftly and the movement crossed the border into Scotland in 1868. The first lodge, the "Pride of Leven Lodge No1335" was founded in Dumbarton in 1868, in Glasgow in 1870 and in Edinburgh in 1876. In the 1990s, the society changed its name from the Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherds (Ashton Unity) to The Shepherds' Friendly Society and the society is still trading under this name.

Program to transform Vector data into image file.
Posted on 2003-11-17

Last Modified: 2013-11-19
I have building sketch information stored in a database in vector format. I need to find a program to change this data to an image that I can then display on a web page.
We have aproximately 550,000 sketches stored, these sketches do not change very often, and there is a flag in the database to tell me when they were last modified.
I would like either a program to grab the data from the database, create the image, and let the browser know where the image is.
OR
A program that I could run once to create all the sketch images, and then run weekly and only update the sketches that have changed.
Here is a sample of the data for one sketch:
A0CU24R29D24L29
A1R10CR9D4L9U4
A2R11D4CR7D3L7U3
A3U4CL2U8R2D8
A4U5R29CU19R11D19L11
A5U24CU5R19D5L15
A6U24R19CU8R10D8L10
The image that this information represents can be found at this link:
_URL_
I know that the first two characters of the record are a sequence number and represent the different rectangles on the sketch (A0=A, A1=B, A2=C, etc)
All units are in Feet
Directions are U=up, D=down, R=right, L=left
The record assumes the same starting point for each record. The directions and distances then move to the starting point of the rectangle, C tells you to start the rectangle, and the remaining information describes the rectangle.
Let me know if any additional information is needed.

That appears to be Logo, or some variant of it, and certainly one could program Logo to read that.
Personally I haven't run across Logo since the 70's, so I won't be much more help than pointing you here:

Logo is alive and kicking. What you need is someone who knows something about it to write you a little program to read your data. Apparently there is a Windows version of Logo, free.

I have been looking for a solution for exactly the opposite of what you are wanting to do. What I needed was a way to record the mouse movements in a Flash sketchpad and then send them to a database...sorta like creating a drawing and then being able to edit it later. I am still working on the final solution but what I suggest is for you to figure out what the logo codes are and how they translate into a image and then convert that into flash language. You then wouldnt have to worry about file management - only the database file.
Essentially the Flash method for drawing is:
set a x_origin and y_origin
then move to a new position and create a line along the way
Line width, alpha (or transparency) and color can all be set. Freehand drawing is essentially a collection of lines that are so short when they are looked at together they appear to a single line.
And ofcourse your file output from the database would be a SWF.

That's interesting that Flash apparently uses some of the very simple (and therefore: good!) concepts from logo. Seems resonable that you could pull that data into Flash, just need to tell it where you don't have data (the alpha, color and what not).
And there are, no doubt, other ways that are similar. A few years back (maybe pre-flash) I knew somebody doing some server-side vector somehow (probably in cgi or php) to let the client browser design custom furniture. Must be similar since the data is so simple.
resedlar, how is it that you kick out drawing of this data currently? Or do you? A peek inside that program may be all you need to figure out a simple way to automate the process.

Currently we have a vendor who created the vector information from gif images that we had on file. The vendor sold us a back end program for doing property assessments. They offered to sell us the program to transform the vectors to images at first. However we have two web sites, one is free to the public and does not contain the sketch and the second is a paid site that contains the sketch along with other information that is not needed by the public. The vendor now wants to host the paid site for us for a percentage of the proceeds, they realize that the only thing we need is a way to transform the vectors to images so they are now claiming that they don't have a program that they can sell us. Even though the vendor is currently transforming the vector data to images on it's own version of the paid site.
Unfortunately I am just a lowly ASP program and don't have the abilty to tell the vendor to got to ....

Apologies that I didn't follow up on this more, but thanks for the points. Seemed to me something that could be easily tackled in a variety of ways. But you need to play around with it, or hire someone to spit out your diagrams. A couple of days work at the most I think.
Hope it worked out.

Hey Snazzy,
I have written a VB application that creates the images. Still need to do some finish work on it. I'm sure someone better in VB would be done already. But the lead with Logo gave me some ideas on how this needed to be done.
Thanks for the help.

Tedeschina Tower
Tedeschina Tower
This element belongs to the categories: Garrison defence, Towers
Remaining part of a 14th century defensive tower.
Tedeschina Tower
The Tedeschina Tower is located on the western side of the Castello district.
Built in the early 14th century, it was named after a group of German mercenaries that lived in the ancient stronghold of Castel di Castro.
Restored in 1376 after the siege of Marianus IV of Arborea, during the sixteenth century it was incorporated by Rocco Cappellino in the Concezione bastion. During these works, the tower, which originally was between 10 and 12 meters high, was lowered.
The bricks testify to the restoration works that took place over the centuries.

Is this the face of President Barack Obama's closest living Irish relative?
Irish researcher Gabriel Murray says it is.
Murray says that Kilkenny woman Jane de Montmorency Wright is directly related to Obama through the Kearney family from County Offaly.
Jane's great, great, great grandmother was Rose Kearney, a daughter of Bishop Kearney whose connection to Obama has already been defined.
Film maker writer Gabriel Murray discovered the links while researching a book and a documentary titled "Obama's Irish Roots."
He also discovered that the only standing ancestral home of Obama is the former Bishop's palace, now the Kilkenny Heritage Center.
"Obama's Irish Roots" included a segment on Bishop John Kearney, a direct descendant of President Obama who is buried in St. Canice's Cathedral in Kilkenny city.
Shot in Offaly, Kilkenny, Dublin, Ohio and Indiana, the film traces President Barack Obama's ancestry along his maternal heritage, a journey of 7,000 miles from Ireland to Hawaii. It covers 1,000 years of his family history.
Obama's great-great-great-grandfather, Fulmouth Kearney, left his home in Offaly in the 1890s and traveled to Ohio via Baltimore, settling in Indiana. His daughter Mary Ann Kearney married into the Dunham family. She eventually settled in Witchita, Kansas, giving birth to Obama's grandfather.

Modern juristic persons often are powerful entities and they play an influential role in society. Their activities are often accompanied by serious transgressions that have a severely detrimental impact on human beings and their environment. The effective prosecution of juristic persons is therefore necessary. The juridical foundations of the liability of juristic persons are, however, one of the most controversial issues in criminal law theory. Individualistic theories postulate that juristic persons are merely collections of individuals. The conduct and fault of individuals constituting a juristic person must therefore form the basis of the criminal liability of the juristic person. In the United States, for instance, the foundation for the criminal liability of corporations on federal level is vicarious liability. Another individualistic model (mostly associated with English common law jurisdictions) is the so–called doctrine of identification. Only the conduct of individuals who are regarded as the 'directing minds' of the organisation may be attributed to the organisation. These approaches deny the complex structures and decision making processes that exist especially in big corporate entities. According to realistic theories juristic persons are entities which are not dependant on their composite members. Each juristic person has its own unique personality. The culture and ethos of a juristic person influence the conduct of individuals attached to it as well as the degree in which the juristic person abides by the law. The identity of a corporation can be established by investigating the internal structure thereof. The existence of monitoring mechanisms and educational programmes within the organization, as well as the degree to which the organisation condones or disapproves of unlawful conduct, are some of the factors which may be indicative of the corporate culture. This approach is a development of the late twentieth century and has recently been adopted in the legislation of some foreign legal systems, most notably Australia. Section 332(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 provides the basis for the criminal liability of juristic persons in South Africa. In essence the conduct and fault of functionaries (and sometimes even outsiders) are attributed to the juristic person. In terms of the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Act juristic persons may only be fined upon conviction. This approach reflects the individualistic view of corporate criminal liability. In this study recommendations are made for the purpose of improving the South African law in this regard so as to reflect a more realistic approach. The recommendations are based on an examination of realistic models proposed by legal and social theorists and legislation adopted by foreign countries which are based on these theories. It is also recommended that more sentencing options must be made available to bring about the restructuring of corporations which have committed crimes.

Proficiency Exam Information
The week of March 4, 2013, is crucial for high school students in the Clark County School District. It is when high schools will administer the High School Proficiency Exams (HSPE) in mathematics, writing, reading and science.
Students are strongly encouraged to prepare for the exams and attend school on the test days. Seniors who have already passed the HSPE in mathematics, writing, reading and science, along with all ninth, tenth and eleventh grade students, should check their school's testing schedule and attendance requirements.
Seniors who still need to pass any portion of the exam - mathematics, writing, reading or science - are advised to be at school on those test day(s) and ready to go.
CCSD's HSPE campaign will include posters in schools and a ParentLink telephone message.

It is not often that a mining company finds itself headlining space publications and astronomy journals, but that is exactly what happened to North American Nickel (NAN-V, WSCRF-O) when the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland announced that the company's Maniitsoq nickel-copper project was the site of the Earth's oldest-known meteorite impact, dating back 3 billion years.
Maniitsoq is located on Greenland's southwestern coast — around 160 km north of Nuuk, the country's capital — and consists of 4,800 sq. km of exclusive exploration licences. Data on the site reaches as far back as the 1960s, including geophysical work by Falconbridge and Cominco in the late 1990s.
"What impressed me about the project was that Falconbridge reviewed all 119 drill holes that a company from Denmark had completed in the sixties," chairman and CEO Rick Mark explains. "It's really unusual for a company of our size to get our hands on solid information for a land package that big. Sometimes you see rock sampling, but to have that much historic core was quite something — I mean, it is literally ten years' worth of work."
Historic drill work was completed by a private company from Denmark called Kyrolitselskabet Oresund in the mid-1960s, and includes 6,287 metres of drilling at an average depth of 60 metres.
The work focused on exposed sulphide mineralization and associated electromagnetic anomalies. Historic assay results include: 10 metres grading 2.7% nickel and 0.6% copper at the Imiak Hill target in hole 9; 5 metres carrying 2% nickel and 0.43% copper at the Quagssuk target in hole 3; and 13 metres of 2.24% nickel and 0.63% copper at the Fossilik target in hole 1.
Cominco flew a large portion of the Greenland norite belt in 1995 with a Geotem fixed-wing airborne electromagnetic system. The company discovered limited anomalies at the time, though resampling of the historic core by Cominco and Falconbridge demonstrated a relatively high nickel tenor in the sulphides — with Falconbridge's work showing 8% nickel in 100% sulphide. According to Mark the companies were on the right track, but lacked the necessary technologies.
"We looked at the historic airborne data, and figured probably two-thirds of the Cominco stuff wouldn't have seen a thing because they had to fly too high and too fast," Mark comments. "We were sort of familiar with that because we've worked with the Geotech's VTEM system in the past, and we've told the 'low and slow' story with helicopter technology for years. So with the helicopter-born electromagnetic technology and modern computing power, suddenly these anomalies are popping up."
The story's focus shifted slightly following news that North American Nickel was sitting on a major meteor impact site. Anyone familiar with the Sudbury basin in Ontario can attest to the potential geological implications of a large-scale meteoritic event. Major mining outfits like Vale (VALE-N) and Xstrata (XTL-L, XSRAF-O) are still active in what has become one of the richest mineral jurisdictions in the world for nickel-copper and platinum group metal deposits.
"What we ended up looking at was the original thesis of a long-lasting igneous event. We hadn't thought too much about the impact story in the beginning because frankly, we weren't sure the markets would be interested in that side of it," Mark explains. "Of course, it would be interesting to look at something similar to the mineralized camps in the Sudbury basin, but we were worried it would distract from the story. But when we made the announcement it ended up on these space-related websites and all over the place, so we're getting some more exposure because it is a neat idea."
To fund its 2012 exploration program, North American Nickel closed a US$3.4-million private placement with Sentient Global Resources Fund in late May. Sentient received 20 million units at 17¢ per share.
The company's first step was to complete helicopter-flown VTEM surveys. North American Nickel received the results from its airborne geophysical work on July 24, and found that Maniitsoq contained 50 conductive zones, many with promising strike lengths. The company identified 12 high-priority zones it intends to target in a drill program scheduled for mid-August.
"The nickel tenure graph is strictly diagonal, which means it is consistent across the entire seventy-five kilometres," Mark concludes. "Now, at sixto eight-percent nickel, that can only happen if there are multiple events contributing to the structure. We're seeing some light nickel mineralization at surface, and according to our model the mineralization should drop. And sure enough, one hundred sixty metres down there are three football-field sized anomalies sitting there, and we're hoping for nickel sulphide."
Mark says working in Greenland is similar to working in the Canadian Arctic, though he is quick to point out that transporting fuel and supplies to camp is easier because of the area's nearby international airport, and the regional port is ice free year-round. The company has a four-month exploration window similar to operations in the Canadian North, though it's possible to set up winter camps and extend work to 10 months, if the project moves to more advanced stages.
North American Nickel maintains a tight share structure with the Sentient group and VMS Ventures (VMS-V, VMSTF-O) — a company exploring similar deposits in Manitoba and Ontario that shares much of North American Nickel's geological and management teams — holding nearly 50% of the company's fully diluted position. VMS and Sentient also retain a first right, which lets the companies maintain their share structure.
North American Nickel has bounced around the 12¢ to 18¢ range since early April. The company received a bit of a boost on results from its airborne geophysical results on July 24, when shares jumped 19% to a quarterly high of 22¢ at presstime on above-average, 231,000-share volumes. The company has 77 million shares outstanding for a $10.5-million market capitalization.

Clean feeding utensils help keep calves healthy
February 18, 2011
Clean and sanitized pails and nipples should be stacked separately and stored off the floor until completely dry.
Click image to enlarge
Would you mix soiled bedding, dirt or manure in with the milk replacer, colostrum or waste milk before feeding it to pre-weaned calves? Of course not! Yet, there are calf feeders using pails and nipples that have not been cleaned and sanitized or that have become contaminated since the last feeding. Recent research at Penn State (Journal of Dairy Science, Nov. 2010) evaluated the effectiveness of pasteurization by measuring bacteria counts in the waste milk before and after pasteurization as well as in the milk fed to calves. The research results showed that pasteurization reduces the number of bacteria in milk. No surprise! However, they also found that all types of bacteria counts were higher in samples pulled from calf buckets at feeding than in pasteurized milk before feeding. The researchers concluded that this is a good indicator that milk is frequently contaminated between pasteurization and feeding. I think this is a good reminder of why it is important to always clean and sanitize feeding utensils right after use as well as take measures to prevent contamination of those utensils and the milk before feeding.
Proper cleaning and sanitizing procedures of feeding utensils can mean extra work and it does take time. This may seem like a small matter, given the bacteria and other pathogens in the total environment to which the calf is exposed. However, the details of all calf management practices can make a difference in having healthy calves or sick calves. It's important to have a consistent, efficient, cost-effective approach to keep the utensils clean and sanitary, everyday. It takes someone being responsible to get it done. It may take writing up a protocol stating the procedures to be used, then posting them so that anyone who feeds the pre-weaned calves understands them and follows them, every time.
Here are some suggestions to make sure feeding utensils are as free of bacteria and pathogens as possible:
Cleaning and sanitizing:
- Every utensil used for feeding calves must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each feeding. This includes balling guns and stomach tubes. Nipple buckets should be taken apart and cleaned.
- Have enough feeding utensils to be able to clean and disinfect between uses, especially on sick calves. If nipples or buckets are shared by multiple calves during a feeding, they must be disinfected between calves.
- Begin cleaning milk-feeding utensils by rinsing in cold or lukewarm water. Using hot water during rinsing makes the milk proteins stick to the surfaces.
- Just "rinsing-off" and storing the utensils is not good enough.
- After rinsing, then use water at least 120oF that contains both a detergent and a disinfectant. Expose the equipment to the solution as long as possible. The longer the exposure to chlorine the greater the opportunity for killing bacteria. Use 1 cup of fresh household-strength bleach in 5 gallons of very hot water. If there are calves with scours – use 1½ cups to 5 gallons. Dump nipples into the solution. Fill the bottles with it.
- Use a wash acid at a rate of about 1 ounce per 5 gallons of lukewarm water to get rid of any possible remaining milk solids on the containers. Most bacteria will not grow in very acid conditions. Acid sanitizers designed for manual cleaning of bulk tanks work well in this application.
- After washing, rinse in cold water.
- After cleaning and sanitizing, allow containers, nipples, balling guns, stomach tubes to air dry.
- Avoid stacking pails inside each other until completely dry. Bacteria can grow rapidly where there is moisture, no sunlight and poor air exchange. For this reason, freshly washed pails should not be placed upside down on a concrete floor.
- There needs to be enough esophageal feeders to dedicate one to each sick calf for that feeding or that day.
- Avoid using feeding buckets that have scratches (plastic) or other rough surfaces as this allows bacteria to reside in them.
- Colostrum, milk replacer, dry feed and water sources should always be clean and placed outside the pen where contamination cannot occur from urine and manure.
- Clean hands, boots and clothing are a must for the calf feeder so contamination of the clean and sanitary calf feeding utensils and equipment cannot occur.
- Disinfect the boots after entering pens with sick animals.
Having clean and sanitary calf feeding utensils may not be a revolutionary idea. But following these suggestions can help decrease the exposure of the calves to disease organisms and improve their health, survivability and growth rates. They can be applied to every calf raising situation on every farm, whatever size operation.

Metallurgical Interconnections for Extreme High and Low Temperature Environments
George G. Harman
The material properties and requirements for wire bond and flip chip interconnections that can be used in packaging chips for extreme high and low temperature environments [from +460 'C (HTE) down to -200 'C (LTE)] are described. The most commonly used Au-Al wire bonds should be avoided in the HTE range, along with any other metallurgical interfaces that form brittle intermetallics and/or Kirkendall voids. Gold-gold bonds improve with time and temperature. Thus, a clear preference is given for gold (or other noble metals) in the HTE environment for both wire and flip-chip bonds. For LTE and intermediate temperature ranges, such as on Mars and most earth satellites, conventional interconnections (Au and Al wire bonds) to Al chip metallization (bond pads) are acceptable. Also, normal flip-chip solder bumps are acceptable, but without plastic under-fill. Information and techniques for using extreme temperature range materials, such as CTE matching between chip and substrate, high temperature polymers, etc., are presented. Unusual failure mechanisms, such as possible electromigration of wire interconnections in HTE, are described. It is concluded that, with proper selection of materials, interconnections can be reliable in both extreme environments.

and Implementation of Screencasts for the Study of Neuropathology in Medical Education
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine
Growing up in a technology-rich world, millennials crave information at their fingertips. When confronted with a question, they want just enough information right when they need it. When faced with these immediate needs in pathology, many medical students become frustrated when required to sift through volumes of text and resources before arriving at a clear and concise answer. While traditional resources have their place in pathology, there is still much room for technology-enhanced resources, such as screencasts, to enrich the undergraduate medical pathology curricula.
Screencasting is a dynamic technology, well suited towards teaching highly visual content such as pathology. Through a screencast, an instructor is able to simultaneously display images while providing narration for these images. Unlike a recorded lecture, which may be provided simply for student convenience, a screencast is designed with the primary intent to be an asynchronous learning tool. It is apparent that medical students are already turning to screencasts. The availability of such resources with the intent to teach pathology, however, is lacking. Additionally, these existing resources fail to meet the needs of millennials in being concise, effective at delivering the intended message, and readily available.
One of added advantages of screencasts are the potential for availability across platforms. The technology gives students to access the resource on the go through mobile devices or during a dedicated study session on personal computers. The simplicity of the screencast platform has shown an improvement of student buy-in to use of the technology.
Here we describe the development and evaluation of concise screencasts which are both effective and efficient at delivering information right when a student needs it.
We have developed short (5 minute) screencasts related to neuropathology topics and designed them according to established multimedia design principles. To evaluate the educational value of these screencasts we conducted a randomized control trial in which medical students were administered a pre-test to assess baseline content knowledge, assigned a screencast or a text-based resource to interact with. These students were subsequently administered an immediate post-test to assess learning gain, and 2 weeks later administered a second post-test to assess retention.
We show the difference in both knowledge acquisition and retention in learning neuropathology through screencasts when compared to text-based resources. We also describe the relative efficiency of each resource by describing the relationship between time spent with a resource and learning gains.
This study demonstrates the value of neuropathology screencasts in undergraduate medical education. It takes the approach of evaluating a technology-enhanced resource for its educational value before including it in the medical curriculum. This allows us to have greater confidence in the educational value of these screencasts compared to traditional text-based resources.
114 – Qualitative Perspectives Addressing Challenges in Preparing Medical Students for the Boards, Wards, and Practice: A Reflection in Designing a More Student-Oriented Pathology Curriculum
Sarah Li, OMS-II
Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine – Harlem
At Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine – Harlem, the General Pathology (GenPath) first-year course is designed to be sequential with the second-year Systemic Pathology (SysPath) course. They are both constantly evolving, focusing more towards board-style questions and clinical vignettes. The flipped classroom curriculum utilizes pre-recorded lecture videos, three-hour weekly discussions, and limited exam questions. Also, medical students can attend weekly optional boards review sessions, held for about two to four hours during the academic year, to solve boards-based questions.
To continually evolve courses, meet required curriculum, and maximize preparation for medical boards exams (USMLE Step 1/COMLEX Level 1), a focus group of six participants, comprised of 3rd year medical students and alumni (1 resident and 1 practitioner), was undertaken. Questions gathered opinions and suggestions to: (1) the General and Systemic pathology courses, (2) the flipped classroom format, and (3) the optional boards review sessions. Focus groups were recorded using Zoom video conference and transcribed. Two authors reviewed the recordings and compiled themes for discussion and future course development.
The overwhelming amount of foundational GenPath material necessary for SysPath was insufficiently reviewed during SysPath. Participants recommended streamlining GenPath content, emphasizing key concepts, and reviewing supplemental GenPath concepts prior to corresponding SysPath lectures, allowing students to integrate foundational and clinical knowledge. Additionally, Histology/Histomorphology recognition should be waned while increasing emphasis on Pathophysiology, Radiology, and Lab Medicine, concepts stressed more on the boards. Furthermore, interactive sessions should integrate more multidiscipline-based clinical vignettes with application and higher-order multiple choice boards-style questions. Lastly, supplemental resources such as Pathoma should be incorporated into the courses to emphasize high-yield boards relevant content.
The universal advantage of the flipped classroom allows for students to manage their time and the option to rewind/review concepts requiring extra time to commit to memory; however, consensus was that the videos were too long. Students take 5-7 concurrent courses with 1-4 video lectures per class per week, culminating in insufficient time to grasp concepts and prepare for weekly interactive sessions. Recorded videos also varied in year of recording, which may cause confusion regarding up-to-date content and boards relevancy. In addition, multiple faculty involvement in lecture recordings, interactive sessions, and writing exam questions contributed to "too many cooks in the kitchen," causing confusion with different teaching styles.
Overall, participants feel that review session were helpful; the practice questions guided thinking towards boards exam skills. This bolstered critical thinking over recall. One challenge to the extra-curricular boards review sessions was that there was insufficient time to add to students' busy schedules. A universal suggestion was to incorporate previous systems reviews during boards review sessions as a refresher and also reminder to keep on top of previous material.
To continually make Pathology education more student-oriented as to maximize their future as physicians, feedback was obtained from previous students on course challenges, flipped classroom learning, and optional boards review sessions effectiveness. Streamlined content, organized lecture styles, boards preparation, and clinicopathologic integration were emphasized.
115 – Bone Marrow Biopsies on Cadavers as a Model to Integrate Laboratory Medicine within a Basic Science Curriculum
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso Paul L. Foster School of Medicine
Medical education in laboratory medicine is lacking considering the impact of laboratory testing on the current medical community. Appropriate ordering and interpretation of lab tests is an important skill for practicing physicians. Challenges to integrating lab medicine instruction into the pre-clinical medical education include finding time within an already packed curriculum and low medical student interest. Team based learning and interactive sessions have been utilized by medical schools to improve student engagement and learning. Medical students have found that procedure-based activities such as lumbar puncture simulations and bone marrow biopsy learning modules improved their anatomy knowledge. However, few studies have explored the utilization of a procedure-based activity to teach aspects of laboratory medicine.
We propose that a team-based activity featuring bone marrow biopsies on cadavers can be a model to engage medical students to learn important aspects of laboratory medicine in the setting of a comprehensive study of related gross anatomy, histology, physiology, and pathology. Organization of the activity led by a trained pathologist could be as follows:
- Team-based learning: Medical students would be assigned into groups of 5 or 6 students. Each group would be given a scenario of a patient on whom a bone marrow biopsy has been ordered. The scenario would include history and physical exam findings as well as initial laboratory results and imaging if relevant.
- Procedure-based learning: Each medical student would have the opportunity to take a bone marrow biopsy on a cadaver in the gross anatomy lab with guidance from a pathologist after reviewing the related anatomy of the pelvis. If possible, the pathologist would also show students how the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy are processed.
- Comprehensive learning: Each team of students would be provided slides to be viewed under a microscope or electronic images that reflect results from their patient's bone marrow biopsy and aspirate. Depending on the scenario, students would be exposed to other tests like flow cytometry immunophenotyping, chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), molecular testing, or microbiology testing. Each team's case scenario and findings would be discussed within the entire group at the conclusion of the activity.
Current trends in medical education have reduced traditional didactic methods of teaching in favor of team-based learning and flipped classrooms. A procedure-based activity such as performing bone marrow biopsies on cadavers would introduce students to concepts of laboratory medicine in the context of a comprehensive review of anatomy, histology, and physiology. Such an activity would maximize time dedicated to the instruction of these topics in a tight curriculum and expose medical students to the clinical relevance of lab medicine in the context of a procedure they will likely see on the wards and will need to be able to interpret.
116 – Application of Interactive Self-directed Online Pathology Modules with Gaming Features in Place of Traditional Lectures
Amirah Kuzu MS4
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso
Analyzing an H&E-stained tissue sample for histologic abnormalities can be an overwhelming task for a medical student. It is difficult to differentiate between normal versus abnormal structural features, especially when there are multiple structures within the tissue sample and it is not clear to medical students which structure(s) they should be viewing.
The plethora of material in the time allotted for each lecture makes it difficult to ask the professor for clarification. Thus, it should not be surprising that many medical students rely heavily on outside Step 1 resources, such as pathoma, to learn anatomic pathology. The problem with such resources is the cost and the unavoidable deficiency in pathology and histology education their use creates compared to the information provided
