The Keris Bali Surapati is an extraordinary keris made in the nineteenth century in Bali, Indonesia. This ancient Balinese keris features the dapur Surapati, which in Java is called 'Pasopati'. It has a straight blade that still is in excellent condition considering the fact that it was made almost two hundred years ago.
On the surface of the blade, we can see the distinctive pamor pattern named 'Gubet Udan Mas'. This pamor motif represents golden rain drops, which symbolize the upcoming change of events that will bring windfall luck and fortune. A keris which has a pamor pattern of the 'udan mas' variety, is often classed as a top range pusaka item worth a lot of money. Moreover, the esoteric powers of this type of pamor are believed to be extremely powerful. Hence, the magical aspects of a keris featuring pamor Udan Mas are known to bestow upon the owner numerous blessings of good luck, and will provide the opportunities for increasing one's riches.
The hilt of this keris is made in traditional Balinese style; the word 'danganan' is used for the name of this kind of hilt. It is the original danganan hilt, and is carved in the form of the Hindu Monkey God Hanoman. Also, there are traces of the aging process visible on the surface of the hilt, indicating its authenticity.
Thus, the Keris Bali Surapati is an invaluable collector's item for one who seeks an ancient Balinese heirloom keris ('pusaka'), which, at the same time, serves as a mystical means to increase one's financial status and wealth.


text: This study introduces design, integration, control, and analysis of a hybrid microgrid (MG) testbed including a 300 kW wind energy plant of three 100-kW permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs), 50 kW solar energy plant of 200 solar panels, and a 50 kW fuel cell stack. Generation side of the hybrid plant coupled on 120V dc bus where wind energy plant consists of uncontrolled diode rectifier and dc-dc buck converter rail while the solar and fuel cell plants are just controlled by dc-dc buck converters. The energy conversion of solar energy plant is operated by using proportional-integral (PI) controller assisted perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The dc-dc converters of the left generators are operated with PI controllers. All the dc-dc converters are constituted with mosfets that are switched at 30 kHz. The islanded AC grid of the plant is built by three-phase inverter that generates 480 V 60 Hz industrial voltages of the U.S. The inverter is operated by a sinusoidal pulse width (SPWM) modulator where the modulation index is set to 0.8 and switching frequency to 5 kHz. The proposed testbed is assumed essential to test and validate several case studies in terms of MG and renewable energy source integration issues. The most recent power control methods (PQ) and amplitude controls (V-f) can also be implemented by using the presented testbed.

Focus: Human Rights and the ECHR
The United Nations Human Rights Committee, the monitoring treaty body of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, is one of the most important and highly regarded international human rights institutions. This article seeks to explore if geograph ical, political and cultural considerations influence the votes of committee members in decisions on individual communications. This article introduces an original dataset of the votes and backgrounds of committee members (CMs), hand coded by the author. The method used in the article is an empirical-quantitative analysis of the votes of CMs. The article finds that certain geopolitical voting patterns do exist in the votes of CMs. Evidence for cultural voting patterns is more limited. However, the article finds that usually voting patterns of individual CMs do not influence the final decision of the committee and that the decisions of the committee should be generally regarded as unbiased.

Protocol For Stomach Cancer
These protocols are designed to help you decide which products would be best to use for stomach cancer. Do not feel obliged to follow the protocols exactly as given -- many people have beaten cancer using just one or two of these supplements. They are all top cancer killers -- even the cancer fighting supplements in the second or third groups listed below test much stronger than the usual supplements being used to fight cancer.
The best minimum to take is all the Vital supplements suggested in the protocol below appropriate for you. The protocols take into account the amount of cancer, whether avoiding swelling and inflammation is an issue, and the synergistic way in which the products work together.
If you are using just one or two supplements, and the cancer is going away, then you are taking the right amount. If it is reproducing faster than it is being killed, and is growing, you need to increase the number of supplements you are using, or their dosage. So it is certainly possible to start out with just one or two of whatever supplement you want to use, no matter if they are in the second or third group in the protocols. Just be sure to hit the cancer harder if it is not getting better in a few months.
After each supplement in the protocol is a letter indicating how important it is. The list is divided up based on three descending levels of importance.
 1. V = Vital (crucial must do's -- the most valuable supplements to use)
 2. I = Important (add on if at all possible)
 3. VG = Very good to add on
Depending on the amount of cancer and your overall health...

If the cancer has spread to any of the detoxification organs, you need additional supplements to support them, whether they are the liver, kidneys, colon or lymph system.
For the liver, add on UltraLiver12, 3 bottles for 1 month's supply. If you are trying to avoid swelling or pain, use Liver Balance Plus instead, 3 to 4 bottles a month since UltraLiver12 will also kill cancer cells.
For the kidneys, add on Kidney Rescue, 3 bottles for 1 month's supply.
For the lymph system, add on Custom Elixir LS, 2 bottles for 1 month's supply.
For the colon, add on GI Pro, 1 bottle per month.
Once the cancer is gone and to prevent the cancer from returning, you will need to continue on a reduced protocol for an additional year. This will give your body time to heal itself and adjust the internal environment to one in which cancer cannot thrive. Cut the number of products by approximately a third to half, and reduce their dosages by about the same for 6 months.
Then, you would once again reduce the number of products and their dosages even more.
For cancer prevention:
Take two bottles of CSE per month for 6 months to detoxify cells and get more nutrients and oxygen into cells. It will also kill any cancer cells that may be remaining in your body. Plus use one bottle of StressDefense per month for 3 to 6 months to boost the immune system so that it can handle any cancer cells that may still be in your body. Then continue with one bottle of CSE for at least 6 more months. Ongoing is best. To be more vigorous in your cancer prevention, also use two OxyDHQ per month for the first 3 to 6 months. It will also help to oxygenate and detoxify cells -- and kill cancer cells.

text: Aiming at the performance evaluation problem of tidal energy turbines in the application of periodic time-varying flow velocity, with the goal of maximizing the efficiency of energy harvesting in practical applications, an evaluation system combining the characteristics of flow velocity changes in practical applications is proposed. After long-term monitoring of tidal current flow velocity in the applied sea area, the actual measured tidal current periodic flow velocity is divided into several flow velocity segments by using statistical segmentation, and the evaluation flow velocity of each flow velocity segment and its time proportion in the tidal current cycle are obtained. A test device with constant torque regulation is built, and capture power tests of different torque loads are carried out under each evaluation flow rate. After comparison, the maximum captured power at each evaluation flow rate is determined. We calculate the weight based on the time proportion of each evaluation flow velocity and obtain the turbine average power of the tidal cycle, thereby evaluating the overall energy capture performance of the turbine under the periodic time-varying flow velocity. Finally, the application test of the turbine in the actual sea area shows that the thin-walled airfoil turbine is more suitable for the sea area, which is the same as the pool evaluation result. The result shows that the evaluation system is reliable and effective and has significance for guiding practical engineering.

LEAD-ALKALINE GLAZED EGYPTIAN FAIENCE: PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION OF PTOLEMAIC PERIOD FAIENCE VESSELS IN THE COLLECTION OF THE WALTERS ART GALLERY
3 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 3.1 STEREOMICROSCOPY
Broken edges of vessel fragments and vessels with minor breakage and losses were examined under the microscope. All pieces exhibit a layered structure, which is composed of a body, an underglaze, and a glaze layer.
The body appears to be white or pale yellow (see table 2) and is very fine textured. In some cases the body contains small, bubblelike holes in the broken edges, indicating trapped air bubbles. The underglaze is present only at localized recessed areas to reveal surface designs. It appears to be thick and is opaque. The underglaze was probably applied as a layer of slurry overall, then wiped off from raised areas, leaving it collected in the recesses. It would be very time-consuming to fill each individual recess of a complex and detailed surface design. The glaze is present overall on both the interior and the exterior. It appears to be thin and transparent. Drip marks are observed in the interior of some of the vessel fragments and vessels, indicating that the overall glaze is applied. The glaze is weathered and exhibits a fine network of cracks. It is abraded and worn, particularly in the raised areas.
The underglaze and the glaze can be easily distinguished visually by the contrasting color hues used (see table 2). In general, the underglaze is greenish blue to blue, and the glaze is pale yellow to light green. The underglaze has a stronger and darker color than the glaze, thus emphasizing the design (see figs. 2, 3). The underglaze is also thicker than the glaze (see table 2). In addition to its usual colors, yellow is used as an accent for the underglaze in two cases (acc. nos. 48.367 and 48.379). The yellow underglaze is present only on the raised dot decorations. The examination of a half-broken dot indicated that the raised dots were probably created in the mold rather than applied after molding. The dots have the same body material underneath the yellow underglaze.
3.2 3.2 XERORADIOGRAPHY
Xeroradiography contributed to the understanding of the forming and the construction process. All pieces appear to be made from a mold or from piece molds. Neither circular lines associated with wheel-turning nor specific orientation of any particles was observed. The interiors of enclosed vessels, such as jars, are not as smooth as the exteriors, thus further suggesting the pressing of an object against a mold. In many cases, the xeroradiograph revealed numerous round or oval-shaped holes in the bodies. The holes are probably associated with air bubbles produced during the kneading of the body material. The trapped air bubbles (up to 2 x 3 mm) in the body indicated that the body was not very plastic and was hard to manipulate (fig. 4).
Xeroradiograph, taken at 130 kv, 2.4 mA, and 10 seconds, revealed numerous round or oval-shaped holes in the bodies of some faience vessel fragments in the study. From top left: acc. nos. 48.2696, 48.379, and 48.381; from bottom left: acc. nos. 48.374, 48.380, 48.383, and 48.375
Joints were observed in the xeroradiograph, which confirmed that piece molds were used for making objects with complex shapes or large size. The rhyton (see fig. 2), tall jars with narrow openings, and bowls with both interior and exterior relief decorations are examples of the use of piece molds. After the piece was taken out of the mold, the final details and designs were enhanced through carving and/or incisions.
3.3 3.3 ENERGY DISPERSIVE X-RAY FLUORESCENCE (ED-XRF)
In most of the pieces analyzed, lead, copper, iron, calcium, and antimony were detected qualitatively by ED-XRF in the surfaces of both the glaze and the underglaze. However, a tile, acc. no. 48.1664, was alkaline glazed. Being an exception, it was excluded from the study. All the remaining 20 pieces consistently exhibited an intense lead peak in the ED-XRF spectra. This finding led to questions about the faience glaze: Was the glaze a pure lead-silica glaze or an alkaline glaze containing lead? For the eventual selection of fragments for further analyses, the 20 pieces were divided into two groups based on the varied amounts of copper and iron present in the glaze and the underglaze layer. In one group of 14, the glaze layer contained more copper than the underglaze; in the other group of 6, the glaze layer contained more iron than the underglaze.
3.4 3.4 SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (SEM)
3.4.1 3.4.1 Examination
Based on the ED-XRF results and stylistic diagnosis, five representative pieces (acc. nos. 48.376, 48.377, 48.379, 48.380, and 48.386) were selected (see fig. 3) for in-depth SEM analysis, with one additional sample taken from a raised dot area of a bowl (acc. no. 48.367) to determine the yellow colorant.
All polished sections of the samples were examined under the reflected light of a polarized microscope (100x). The thickness of the glaze layer, the underglaze layer, and the body were defined. Munsell soil color and Munsell color charts were used for determining the colors of each layer. The lighting conditions used for all color readings were to simulate daylight generated by a lamp, which combined both incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. The color choices of green, blue-green, and yellow in glazes were highly fashionable in the Ptolemaic period, as opposed to the predominantly turquoise blue used previously.
3.4.2 3.4.2 SEM-WDS Results
The analyses of the glaze layer were carried out in an area where glaze alone is present or in the glassy areas, to avoid the underglaze. For example, the glaze analysis of acc. no. 48.379 was carried out on the exterior where only glaze is present (fig. 5), and the glaze analysis of acc. no. 48.380 was done in the glassy matrix of the glaze layer (fig. 6). Obvious cracks and voids were also avoided when selecting analytical sites; however, the presence of extensive microcracking throughout the weathered surface of the glaze layer meant that ideal areas for glaze analysis do not exist. The analyses of the underglaze layer were carried out in the glassy matrix visible on the back-scattered electron images (figs. 6–7) as a white dense band away from the glaze layer. SEM-WDS analyses (in oxide wt%) of the glaze layer reveal that the major oxide in the glaze is silica (SiO2), ranging from 68% to 78%. A considerable amount of lead was identified in the glaze layer, with lead oxide (PbO) ranging from 2.4% to 11.1%. The alkali content, combining sodium oxide (Na2O) and potassium oxide (K2O), is below 1%. The chloride content is somewhat high, ranging from 1.2% to 2.5%, a finding that often suggests the glaze surface has been weathered (Freestone 1998).
Back-scattered electron image of a polished section of acc. no. 48.379, showing only the exterior glaze layer and the quartz body at 200x, 25 kv. The glassy glaze layer has penetrated into the body and has a network of fine cracks. The body contains chiefly quartz, seen as gray, and interstitial glaze material, seen as white spots.
Back-scattered electron image of a polished section of acc. no. 48.380, showing the exterior glaze layer (gray glassy area), the underglaze layer (a white band area), and the quartz body (gray crystalline grains) at 150x, 25 kv. The body contains interstitial glaze material, seen as white spots.
Back-scattered electron image of a polished section of acc. no. 48.377, showing partially the exterior glaze layer alone with the quartz body (upper half of the image) and the exterior glaze layer and the underglaze layer with the quartz body (lower half of the image) at 60x, 25kv
The solubility of chlorine in the alkaline glaze depends upon the amount of sodium present in the glaze. At about 15% Na2O, the solubility of chlorine is about 1.3%, which is about the maximum amount of chlorine that is found in unweathered alkaline glazes and glasses (Barber and Freestone 1990). When the surface of the glaze is weathered away, some of its components still remain, and chlorine content could actually be increased

A Historical Look at the Heceta Head Lightstation
Published: 04/16/2019 Updated: 08/13/2019
Sitting 205-feet above sea level and visible for over 21 miles, Heceta Head Lighthouse towers high above a scenic viewpoint on Oregon's Central Coast and is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the United States.
Sitting on a remote Oregon Coast headland midway between Umpqua River and Yaquina Bay, Heceta Head Lighthouse was first lit on March 30, 1893. The lighthouse is the last major coastal beacon established in Oregon. It is among the most architecturally impressive lighthouses on the West Coast, placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1973. The cape and lighthouse owe its name to Don Bruno de Heceta of the Spanish Royal Navy, who in 1775 commanded an expedition to explore the Pacific Northwest. For more than a century the spectacular sentinel guided mariners through treacherous waters. When Oregon finished construction of US Highway 101, electricity and motorists followed, making the Oregon Coast a sightseeing destination. Heceta Head is highly visible to northbound travelers and notably the most photographed lighthouse in Oregon.

Marathon reservoir was created by constructing a dam located in Attica at the junction of Charadros and Barnabas streams. Works for the construction of the dam began in 1926 and completed in 1929. The dam has been made by concrete and is entirely covered by Pentelic marble, which gives it uniqueness worldwide.
Due to its proximity to Athens, Marathon reservoir functions as an auxiliary intake source in cases of emergency. Its water supply is done by Iliki and Mornos reservoirs and through Yliki Aqueduct and Mornos – Yliki Aqueduct.

This study investigated the feasibility of Moringa oleifera seed cake powder (MOSCP), a natural product after oil extraction, for Congo red (CR) removal from aqueous solution. Coagulation experiments indicated that CR was efficiently removed by MOSCP in short time. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy spectra showed that large amount of proteins was contained in MOSCP. The removal of CR was contributed to both the adsorption and charge neutralization of proteins on the surface of MOSCP particles, and nucleation of these particles. No significant impact of solution pH was observed on CR removal under acid and neutral conditions, but the CR removal decreased remarkably with increasing pH under basic condition. An optimal MOSCP dosage was found that was linearly proportional to CR initial concentration. ? 2014, Balaban Desalination Publications.

عنوان مقاله [English]
Past studies have shown that dam-foundation rock interaction has significant effects on dynamic response of concrete dams. Moreover, several methods have been presented to investigate this subject such as, boundary element approach or the combination of boundary element and finite element procedures. Most of these methods are relatively complicated. Therefore, in the present study, a new computer program has been developed with a simplified approach. In this program, the dam body and foundation rock are modeled by three-dimensional finite element method. The results obtained by the present method (i.e., FE-FE approach) are very similar to the results published by previous complicated methods. Furthermore, this program is able to also utilize damping solvent extraction method. Therefore, the effects of damping solvent extracting on increasing convergence rate for dynamic response of concrete gravity dams has also been studied.

An increase in expenses has led to the introduction of rationalisation in healthcare. With this comes the emergence of business operation analytics of each entity with a view to improve the business operations with unaltered quality of work. A hospital-based clinical laboratory is part of the healthcare system, but it can also be viewed as an independent unit. The goal of the clinical laboratory as a unit is the accuracy and reliability of laboratory tests. Today, the benchmarks of financial business operations are becoming more important; productivity evaluation, i.e. efficient business operations.
Laboratory business operation analytics provide us with an insight into a successful business performance. The increase in productivity of clinical laboratories relates to the technical development of the laboratory diagnostics, which can at first be viewed as an expense, because it requires a financial investment. The introduction of an IT system into the laboratory leads to a better control of work procedures, improvement of work organisation, saving time and subsequently affects productivity. The laboratory business operation analytics, as well as the financial cost-effectiveness of the investment can be seen by developing an economic model, i.e. model of a laboratory as an economic entity. The creation of the model of a laboratory as an economic entity implies the identification of revenues and expenses and their comparison in a specific time period, typically one year.
A sum that shows whether the laboratory performs its business operations profitably or not is obtained by comparison of total revenues and all expenses of the clinical laboratory. It is the starting point from where the measures for business performance improvement shall be taken.
The introduction of an IT system into the laboratory leads to a better control of work procedures, improvement of work organisation, saving time and subsequently affects productivity.
The goal of this study was the analysis of the clinical laboratory business operations as an economic entity over one year, as well as the analysis of business operations of the model, with a potential improvement and deterioration of business performance compared to the basic model. The models were made using SWOT analysis; the model of deterioration was based on weaknesses and threats, and the model of improvement on strengths and opportunities of the laboratory, as shown in one previous study.

GCH Našice is a non-profitable institution funded from the State Budget of the Republic of Croatia through the Croatian Institute for Health Insurance (CIHI).
Profit and Loss Account The analysis of laboratory performance was carried out using the method of profit and loss account, which shows the profitability of the laboratory. The basic elements of the profit and loss account are revenues and expenses, and the difference between them represents profit or loss in business operations and proves profitability. The total revenues consist of the fees charged for the tests performed and the expenses are all expenses necessary for earning the revenues. The revenues and expenses are categorised.
Graded profit in the profit and loss account is shown using the contribution margin, gross profit, and operating profit. Contribution margin is total revenue less direct material expenses. Gross profit is the difference between total revenue and total production expenses. Operating profit with a positive number sign indicates profitable business operations, whereas negative number sign indicates unprofitable business operations.
Economic Sensitivity AnalysisEconomic sensitivity analysis was used to show how business operations may be altered by changing one or more parameters in the profit and loss account. Three models with changed operating profit as compared to the basic model were shown, i.e. the economic sensitivity analysis was performed, for which the data had been obtained through the SWOT analysis.
Results and Discussion
The profit and loss account for 2008 showed profitable business operations of the laboratory and the positive operating profit in the amount of 470,423 euro. Using the economic sensitivity analysis, three models with modified operating profit were developed:
- Reduced tests;
- Technological improvement (automation with informatisation); and
- Technological improvement with three employees less and additional tests.
Weaknesses and opportunities represent internal characteristics of the laboratory, whereas the strengths and threats are derived from the clinical laboratory environment, in other words the geographical surroundings in radius of fifty kilometers with 100,000 inhabitants.
In the reduced tests model, the number of tests was reduced for all specialist tests in outpatient services and none were performed for primary healthcare. The operating profit would amount to only 21,542 euro.
The technological improvement model, due to the expenses for automation and informatisation, would reduce the operating profit to 431,464 euro.
In the increased operating profit model, conditioned by the technological improvement that would facilitate the work with three employees less with simultaneous addition of tests, it would amount to 535,804 euro.
This research shows that the clinical laboratory GCH Našice performed its business operations profitably in 2008. Profitable business operations were shown in the profit and loss account, where the operating profit was positive and amounted to 470,423 euro. The profit realised in the clinical laboratory GCH Našice in the amount of 470,423 euro represents operational earnings that would remain to the owner of a business entity on the market.
The SWOT analysis tested the threats for the laboratory arising from its surroundings. The threat to the analysed laboratory is loss of patients, i.e. reduced tests, which could become real by the establishment of a new clinical laboratory in the radius of 50 km with 100,000 inhabitants. The establishment of such a laboratory, which could take over patients from the primary healthcare providers and provide specialist tests for outpatients, would decrease the operating profit to only 21,542 euro. In order to prevent such threats from becoming real, it is necessary to continuously develop the laboratory and to perform market research.
The technological improvement model that would introduce potential automation and informatisation showed the reduction in operating profit to 431,464 euro in comparison to the basic model. This reduction in the operating profit is actually the price for potential automation and informatisation, which is not high compared to its benefit, since the difference in the operating profit is only 38,959 euro. Regardless of the price, potential automation and informatisation significantly improve the quality of service. The inexistence of total automation and informatisation in the laboratory is a weakness that could become an opportunity, because it facilitates work with three employees less as well as performing additional tests. Those additional tests in the researched laboratory are the ones performed by other laboratories in the radius of approximately 50 km, such as medical examinations, physician's certificates or laboratory tests that are directly paid. If the potential to carry out additional tests, work with three employees less with automation and informatisation, as shown in the technological improvement with additional tests and three employees less model, were realised, the operating profit would increase to 535,804 euro.
Business performance could be improved either by augmenting the scope of work, connected with the expansion on new markets, which is a customary practice in the US and market-oriented states or by reducing the costs through monitoring the work procedures in detail. Constant development, monitoring of market demands and reduction in operating costs can certainly lead to the improvement in business performance of the laboratory, independent of its funding.
The risks of reduced tests amount to 448,881 euro, the potential to increase the profit 65,381 euro. Hence, the risk of the decrease in profit is seven times higher than the potential increase based on opportunities. In other words, the results showed a potential decrease in the operating profit by 95 percent, because it would be reduced from 470,723 to only 21,542 euro, whereas the potential increase in the operating profit could be only to 535,804 euro or 14 percent. In conclusion, reduced tests due to the establishment of a new clinical laboratory would have a significant negative impact on the profitability compared to the potential increase of profitability.
Such business analysis can result in positive financial breakthrough even in the institutions where primary health system function is not making profit. It clearly shows the need for basic education in economics and its implementation by managers in individual departments in the healthcare system. The profitability of any clinical laboratory can be increased using the analytics shown in this report and using the knowledge in economics.


Generate a Physical Data Model Using the API
Once you have created data sources for your database, generate a physical data model (PDM).
The PDM describes the tables of your database and represents how the actual data is organized and stored in the database. The logical data model (LDM) is then mapped to the PDM and ultimately determines your analytical options when you build insights and dashboards.
To generate the PDM, do the following:
 1. Check the data types in your database.
 2. Scan the relational model of your database.
 3. Store the PDM under the corresponding data source.
Check the Data Types in Your Database
Make sure that the columns that you want to include in the PDM have the supported data types assigned. The data types are validated using the JDBC data types. To find out how the JDBC data types are mapped to the data types in your database, see the documentation for your database.
The following JDBC data types are supported:
 - BIT
 - TINYINT
 - SMALLINT
 - INTEGER
 - BIGINT
 - CHAR
 - VARCHAR
 - LONGVARCHAR
 - CLOB
 - NCHAR
 - NVARCHAR
 - LONGNVARCHAR
 - NCLOB
 - SQLXML
 - ROWID
 - FLOAT
 - REAL
 - DOUBLE
 - NUMERIC
 - DECIMAL
 - DATE
 - TIMESTAMP
 - TIMESTAMP_WITH_TIMEZONE
 - BOOLEAN
Columns with an unsupported data type are skipped and not included in the PDM.
Scan the Relational Model of Your Database
To scan the relational model in your database, submit a POST request to api/actions/dataSources/<data-source-id>/scan. <data-source-id> is the ID of the data source that corresponds to the database you want to scan.
By default, all the tables, views, and columns in your database are scanned, and a JSON file with a declarative definition of the PDM is generated. To generate a more accurate PDM, especially when your database contains a large amount of tables/views, you can do the following:
 - Change tables, views, and columns so that the database contains only the entities that have to be included in the PDM.
 - Fine-tune the API request to narrow down the scope of the database objects to scan:
 - Define what to scan: tables, views, or both.
 - Define the prefix to scan only the tables/views whose names contain this prefix.
You can also prepare the tables/views for use in complex analytical scenarios.
Example: Scanning the demo-ds data source that represents the pre-installed PostgreSQL database with the sample data prepared in the GoodData.CN Community Edition image
The PDM definition will be saved to the pdm.json file.
Bash
PowerShell 7
curl $ENDPOINT/api/actions/dataSources/demo-ds/scan \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -H "Accept: application/json" \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer YWRtaW46Ym9vdHN0cmFwOmFkbWluMTIz" \
 -X POST \
 -d '{"separator": "__", "scanTables": false, "scanViews": true}' \
 | jq . > pdm.json
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "$ENDPOINT/api/actions/dataSources/demo-ds/scan" '
 -ContentType 'application/json' '
 -H @{
 'Accept' = 'application/json'
 'Authorization' = 'Bearer YWRtaW46Ym9vdHN0cmFwOmFkbWluMTIz'
 } '
 -Body '{"separator": "__", "scanTables": false, "scanViews": true}' | ConvertTo-Json > pdm.json
Store the PDM under the Corresponding Data Source
To store the generated PDM under the corresponding data source, submit a PUT request to /api/layout/dataSources/<data-source-id>/physicalModel. <data-source-id> is the ID of the data source that corresponds to the scanned database. In the API request, specify the JSON file with the PDM definition.
Example: Storing the PDM generated from the demo-ds data source
Bash
PowerShell 7
curl $ENDPOINT/api/layout/dataSources/demo-ds/physicalModel \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer YWRtaW46Ym9vdHN0cmFwOmFkbWluMTIz" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -X PUT -d @pdm.json
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Put -Uri "$ENDPOINT/api/layout/DataSources/demo-ds/physicalModel" '
 -ContentType 'application/json' '
 -H @{ 'Authorization' = 'Bearer YWRtaW46Ym9vdHN0cmFwOmFkbWluMTIz' } '
 -InFile pdm.json
Once you have stored the PDM, build the LDM.
Advanced Use Cases
Multiple Datasets Mapped to the Same Table
This is typically needed when one table represents multiple logical entities, and each entity should be represented by a separate dataset in the LDM.
While the LDM Modeler supports mapping of multiple datasets to the same table, publishing an LDM with such mapping fails.
To avoid this issue, create multiple views on top of the table and map each dataset to a separate view.
For example, you have two tables, users and tickets.
 - The users table contains ticket creators and assignees.
 - The tickets table contains the assignee_id and creator_id columns.
To avoid mapping multiple datasets to the users table, do the following:
 1. In the database, create two views on top of the users table: v_users_assignees and v_users_creators.
 2. In the LDM, create three datasets: assignees, creators, and tickets.
 3. Map the tickets dataset to the tickets table.
 4. Map the assignees dataset to the v_users_assignees view.
 5. Map the creators dataset to the v_users_creators view.
 6. Create a relationship from the assignees dataset to the the tickets dataset using the assignee_id column as a primary key in the assignees dataset.
 7. Create a relationship from the creators dataset to the tickets dataset using the creator_id column as a primary key in the creators dataset.
No Single-column Primary Key in Tables
While the LDM Modeler supports setting multi-column primary keys in datasets, publishing an LDM with multi-column primary keys fails.
To avoid this issue, create one-attribute primary keys in your database:
 1. Concatenate the table columns that comprise the primary key in the table.
 2. Calculate a hash value for the concatenated columns.
 3. Use the hash value as a one-attribute primary key.
Multiple PDMs Generated from the Same Data Source
If you need to prepare different PDMs from the same data source to serve various business needs, we recommend that you create multiple data sources from the same database and generate a PDM for each data source separately.
To narrow down the scope of the database to scan, you can create views with different prefixes and only scan the database with a specific prefix for each data source. Also, you can define different credentials/privileges or schema for each data source.


RMSCookieConnector - Using Cookies in J2ME
By: Michael Juntao Yuan and Ju Long Printer Friendly Format
The RMSCookieConnector class stores cookies in an RMS record store. An RMS record store is accessed by its name, rather than reference, and can persist between soft resets, or reboots. That ensures an old session remains valid when a user later returns to an application after previously quitting it. Considering most people use their mobile information devices for many different tasks simultaneously, cookie persistence is a desired feature.
Remember, RFC 2109 allows us to separate cookies for different sites by examining the domain attribute associated with each cookie. However, implementing the full specifications in RFC 2109 requires rather complex string parsing and proves quite expensive in terms of memory footprint and CPU usage. Instead of being fully specification-compliant, we decided to use a simpler approach: We simply discard all the attributes information accompanying the set-cookie header and associate each cookie with the real host it comes from. We derive the host name from a call to HttpConnection.getHost(). When we connect to that host again, only cookies from the same host will be used.
We store these cookies and their host names in an RMS record store. An RMS record store only has a one-dimensional structure with sequentially ordered data fields. Starting from field number zero, we store cookies in even-numbered fields and associated host names in the odd numbered fields that directly follow each cookie field. The cookie storage and retrieval code is illustrated below:
// Get cookies from the connection and store them with host names.
static void getCookie(HttpConnection c) throws IOException {
 RecordStore rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore(cookieStoreName, true);
 // "While" loop to iterate through headers and get cookies
 // in to cValue strings.
 /* Start loop. */
 // Write the cookie into the cookie store.
 int newID = rs.addRecord(cValue.getBytes(), 0, cValue.length());
 // We set the domain default to the current server.
 String dValue = c.getHost();
 if ( dValue == null ) {
 // If there is no valid domain,
 // we do not keep the cookie.
 rs.deleteRecord(newID);
 } else {
 // All upper case for easy comparison in the future.
 dValue = dValue.toUpperCase();
 // Write the domain into the cookie store.
 rs.addRecord(dValue.getBytes(), 0, dValue.length());
 }
 /* End loop. */
 rs.closeRecordStore();
 return;
}
// Fetch cookies from record store and set into the connection header.
static void addCookie(HttpConnection c, String url) throws Exception {
 String domain;
 // Chunk of code to parse domain from input url.

 StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();;
 RecordStore rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore(cookieStoreName, true);
 RecordEnumeration re = rs.enumerateRecords(null, null, false);
 String cookie = "", cookieDomain = "";
 // Iterate through the cookie record store and find cookies
 // with domain matching the current URL.
 //
 // isCookie is used to tell whether the current record is
 // a cookie or an associated domain.
 boolean isCookie = true;
 while ( re.hasNextElement() ) {
 if ( isCookie ) {
 cookie = new String(re.nextRecord());
 } else {
 cookieDomain = new String(re.nextRecord());
 // Cookies are valid for sub-domains.
 if ( domain.endsWith( cookieDomain ) ) {
 buff.append( cookie );
 buff.append("; ");
 }
 }
 isCookie = !isCookie;
 }
 rs.closeRecordStore();
 // If we do have cookies to send, set the composed string into
 // "cookie" header.
 String cookieStr = buff.toString();
 if ( cookieStr == null || cookieStr.equals("") ) {
 // Ignore.
 } else {
 c.setRequestProperty( "cookie", cookieStr );
 }
 return;
}
Following the examples, you can associate each cookie with more properties, such as URL path and expiration time, in real-world applications when such needs arise.

How many checklists does it take before we have a checklist approach to disclosure?
ASX today released its interim guidance on reporting scoping studies. This has proven to be a thorny issue for miners who have sought to provide the market with guidance on the outcome of such studies, which are often conducted internally, based on a limited geological understanding on the underlying resource and within a wide range of accuracy (typically +/- 50%) regarding economic outcomes.
ASX seeks to augment the guidance provided in ASIC's revised IS 214 and, in an approach which seems at odds with a stated desire to avoid a "checklist approach" to compliance, adds a checklist for listed companies to follow in preparing scoping study announcements.
There are a number of key takeaways:
- ASIC's guidance: After the confusion and rancour following ASIC's April Information Sheet 214 – Mining and Resources – Forward Looking Statements (IS 214), which was interpreted to prohibit publication of scoping studies without present evidence of project finance, ASIC revised IS 214 in October 2016. The revision confirmed secured funding is not necessarily required in order to establish that reasonable grounds exist for a production target, but stopped short of giving guidance as to at what point an assessment of a company's relative market capitalisation, financial position, financing track record and support, relevant metrics and the state of relevant economies might provide a "reasonable basis" for a finance assumption.
- Reasonable grounds for assumptions: Both ASIC and ASX clearly state they are looking for reasonable grounds for the disclosed assumptions made as to finance, not definitive statements as to financing capacity.
ASX notes, in an apparent attempt to reassure the average compliant explorer: "resource entities at early stages of the project assessment process will often not be in a position to make definitive statements about the availability of funding needed for development…" ASX also suggests that, where there are no reasonable grounds to think any entity can raise project finance on its own, the entity might disclose what the options are, such as a sale of project equity, and what reasonable basis there is for thinking those options might be available…. but is that a lifeline, or another can of worms?
- A proximate warning: Both regulators want to see a clear statement of current financial capacity and expected finance requirements to achieve outcomes stated in a scoping study, with warnings as to a lack of certainty of funding, and the potential dilution impacts of any equity raising. ASX has provided an indicative five paragraph cautionary statement for companies' assistance, which should be used when reminding investors that the company might not be able to raise project finance when needed. The statement augments the JORC code requirement for an appropriate cautionary statement.
- Other disclosure points: ASX also reminds companies of the basics:
- Follow Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules
- Use JORC terminology
- Be fair and balanced
- Don't put forward looking statements in the headline
- Don't describe results as a per share value without reasonable grounds
- Use an approximate rounded range for targets
- Disclose assumptions about modifying factors, and a sensitivity analysis
- Your material assumptions include Section 4 of Table 1 of JORC
- Be careful with assumed timeframes and sequencing of categories of resources for production and development
- A checklist: The guidance annexes a checklist which ASX is encouraging entities to complete to verify compliance. It takes directors through the disclosure points above and Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules. Although companies aren't required to complete the checklist, in cases where ASX has concerns over a scoping study announcement, it may request the company to complete and return the checklist under Listing Rule 18.7, whereupon it will presumably find its way onto the company announcements platform.
No-one denies ASX and ASIC's work will encourage an improvement of the standard of reporting on scoping studies. However, we are now moving into a potentially uncomfortable combining of "hard" and "fuzzy" regulation of disclosure. This will increase the compliance burden for listed resource companies and doesn't help with some big questions which a checklist approach is ill-suited to answer. For example – what constitutes reasonable grounds for an assumption that a company can obtain project finance?
We expect that, like the much lamented Corporate Governance Statement in Appendix 4G, ASX is inexorably moving towards a checklist approach to disclosure in this field. But we still don't have any comfort that a combination of warning statements and a checklist approach will be enough for ASIC.

set boxwidth bw1
plot 'rnd.dat' using (bin($1,bw1)):(1./(bw1*n)) smooth frequency with boxes t tstr(bw1)
set boxwidth bw2
plot 'rnd.dat' using (bin($1,bw2)):(1./(bw2*n)) smooth frequency with boxes t tstr(bw2)
Here is the result, with two bin width
Besides, this really is a rough approach to histogram and more elaborated solutions are readily available in R. Indeed, the problem is how to define a good bin width, and this issue has already been discussed on stats.stackexchange.com: using Freedman-Diaconis binning rule should not be too difficult to implement, although you'll need to compute the inter-quartile range.
Here is how R would proceed with the same data set, with default option (Sturges rule, because in this particular case, this won't make a difference) and equally spaced bin like the ones used above.
The R code that was used is given below:
par(mfrow=c(1,2), las=1)
hist(rnd, main="Sturges", xlab="", ylab="", prob=TRUE)
hist(rnd, breaks=seq(-3.5,3.5,by=.1), main="Binwidth = 0.1",
 xlab="", ylab="", prob=TRUE)
You can even look at how R does its job, by inspecting the values returned when calling hist():
> str(hist(rnd, plot=FALSE))
List of 7
 $ breaks : num [1:14] -3.5 -3 -2.5 -2 -1.5 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 ...
 $ counts : int [1:13] 1 1 12 20 49 79 108 87 71 43 ...

 $ density : num [1:13] 0.004 0.004 0.048 0.08 0.196 0.316 0.432 0.348 0.284 0.172 ...

 $ xname : chr "rnd"
 $ equidist : logi TRUE
 - attr(*, "class")= chr "histogram"
All that to say that you can use R results to process your data with Gnuplot if you like (although I would recommend to use R directly :-).
TukeyHSD after within factors ANOVA
As an alternative to traditional repeated-measures ANOVA for within-subject design, you might consider using linear mixed-effects approach. It is being increasingly used in the scientific community and avoids some of the ANOVA pitfalls while allowing for more complex error structures. With continuous response variable, the nlme package is enough, but you can also use lme4 which further allows to cope with categorical response variables. For multiple comparisons (including Tukey's post-hoc tests), then, the multcomp package (see the glht() function) can be used with mixed-effects models fitted with nlme::lme, as described here: Repeated Measures ANOVA using R.
One short remark about your design: If your response (dependent) variable, Ratio, is a proportion or a bounded value, you may think of using a different link function.
Interface between Octave and R
I do not know of any active R/octave project, but if you're just after finding roots for a given polynomial you can use one of the polynom or PolynomF package:
Here is an example with P(x)= 6 + 5x + 4x^2 + 3x^3 + 2 x^4 + x^5.
In octave,
octave[2] > p = 1:6;
octave[3] > roots(p)
ans =
 0.55169 + 1.25335i
 0.55169 - 1.25335i
 -1.49180 + 0.00000i
 -0.80579 + 1.22290i
 -0.80579 - 1.22290i
In R,
> library(polynom)
> p <- polynomial(6:1)
> pz <- solve(p)
> pz
[1] -1.491798+0.000000i -0.805786-1.222905i -0.805786+1.222905i

R fisher.test print only p-value
If you take a look at the values returned by a call to the fisher.test() function (see help(fisher.test) in R), you will notice that there is p.value among others. So you just need to use $p.value on your R object. Here is an example, in R:
tab <- replicate(2, sample(LETTERS[1:3], 10, rep=TRUE))
fisher.test(table(tab[,1], tab[,2]))$p.value
can't set border linewidth for bars of rowstacked histogram
I would not use set style fill solid border -1 (or better, noborder), but rather define a specific line type that can be used to customize boxes, e.g.
bw=0.1
n=500
bin(x,width) = width*floor(x/width) + bw/2.0
set boxwidth bw
set style line 2 lc rgb 'gray30' lt 1 lw 2
set style fill pattern 5
plot 'rnd.dat' using (bin($1,bw)):(1./(bw*n)) smooth frequency with boxes ls 2
Here, boxes are drawn using dark gray and line width of 2.
Is there a Java alternative to Prefuse that is under active development?
Protovis is the successor of Prefuse (and now, D3 is under active development). Protovis-Java is a partial implementation of the Protovis toolkit in Java. There's a nice example gallery, but I have no experience with the Java side.
As an alternative, you might consider Processing, with some example of use in Java here, or its Javascript counterpart, Processing.js. There were even a port for Scala + Processing: Spde.
How to implement R model in C++ code
You're asking for a linear regression model (here, R glm() stands for generalized linear model, but as you're using an identity link, you end up with a linear regression). There are several implementation available in C, for example the apophenia library which features a nice set of statistical functions with bindings for MySQL and Python. The GSL and ALGLIB libraries also have dedicated algorithms.
However, for lightweight and almost standalone C code, I would suggest taking a look at glm_test.c available in the source of the snpMatrix BioC package.
Following the updated question, it seems you rather want to predict the outcome based on a set of regression parameters. Then, given that the general form of the hypothesized model is y=b0 + b1 _ x1 + b2 _ x2 + … + bp * xp, where b0 is the intercept and b1, …, bp are the regression coefficients (estimated from the data), the computation is rather simple as it amounts to a weighted sum: take each observed values for your p predictors and multiply by the b's (don't forget the intercept term!).
You can double check your results with R predict() function; here is an example with two predictors, named V1 and V2, 100 observations, and a regular grid of new values for predicting the outcome (you can use your own data as well):
> df <- transform(X <- as.data.frame(replicate(2, rnorm(100))),
 y = V1+V2+rnorm(100))
> res.lm <- lm(y ~ ., df)
> new.data <- data.frame(V1=seq(-3, 3, by=.5), V2=seq(-3, 3, by=.5))
> coef(res.lm)
(Intercept) V1 V2

TestConfigurations_Update Operation
Applies to QAComplete 14.3, last modified on February 19, 2024
Replaces the test configuration information with that from the specified TestConfiguration object. Uninitialized properties are cleared.
First, you usually call TestConfigurations_Load to get a test configuration by ID, change some of its properties, and then pass the updated object to TestConfigurations_Update.
Requirements
The authenticating user must belong to a user group that has the Update privilege for Test Lbirary.
Parameters
The operation uses the following parameters:
AuthenticationData : AuthenticationData, required
An AuthenticationData object containing the login information and the project ID that contains the test configuration.
TestConfiguration : TestConfiguration, required
A TestConfiguration object that represents the configuration with updated properties.
SendEmailAlert : string, required
Y means send an email alert to the subscribed users after updating the test configuration.
Any other value (for example, N or empty string) means do not send email alerts.
Result
None.
Remarks
The TestConfiguration object has matching Id and Name properties, for example, FolderId and FolderName. To set them, specify the value only for the Id property. The corresponding Name property will be set automatically.
Example
Sample Code
C#
string login = "[email protected]";
string password = "p@ssword";
int projID = 10372;
// Specifying the test configuration to update
int ID = 254;
ServiceSoapClient service = new ServiceSoapClient();
// Preparing AuthenticationData
LoginInfo loginInfo = service.GetLoginInfo("", login, password);
AuthenticationData authData = new AuthenticationData();
authData.AppCode = loginInfo.AppCode;
authData.UserId = loginInfo.UserId;
authData.PassCode = password;
authData.DeptId = loginInfo.DeptId;
authData.ProjId = projID;
// Loading the test configuration
TestConfiguration testConfig = service.TestConfigurations_Load(authData, ID);
// Updating the status of the configuration
testConfig.IsActive = "N";
// Updating the test configuration
service.TestConfigurations_Update(authData, testConfig, "N");
Console.WriteLine("The test configuration was updated");
Java
String login = "[email protected]";
String password = "p@ssword";
int projID = 10372;
// Specifying the test configuration to update
int ID = 254;
ServiceSoap service = new Service().getServiceSoap12();
// Preparing AuthenticationData
LoginInfo loginInfo = service.getLoginInfo("", login, password);
AuthenticationData authData = new AuthenticationData();
authData.setAppCode(loginInfo.getAppCode());
authData.setUserId(loginInfo.getUserId());
authData.setPassCode(password);
authData.setDeptId(loginInfo.getDeptId());
authData.setProjId(projID);
// Loading the test configuration
TestConfiguration testConfig = service.testConfigurationsLoad(authData, ID);
// Updating the status of the configuration
testConfig.setIsActive("N");
// Updating the test configuration
service.testConfigurationsUpdate(authData, testConfig, "N");
System.out.format("Test configuration was updated");

text: Tomorrow's global uncertainties will test the capability, capacity, and innovative nature of the United States Army. The U.S. Army Operating Concept provides a set of core competencies to develop such an adept force. This force must act decisively and effectively in complex environments that are further limited by resource constraints. Secondly, innovative concepts are needed to overcome the static institution that emphasizes process over efficiency. The ability of units to sustain readiness is critical in providing the right force mix when and where needed. This paper will analyze U.S. Army Pacific's execution of an operation named "Pacific Pathways," and how it embodies those core competencies outlined in the Army Operating Concept. It will also provide recommendations that may enhance utilization of the Total Force in operationalizing the Regionally Aligned Forces initiative across the Army. These include readiness sustainment; use of pre-positioned stock; and greater integration of the Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational efforts in such a dynamic environment.

Questions About Two Bearded Blokes: The Montreal Thefts
.I have been looking at that Egypto-Roman head stolen last October from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and wondering where it came from. What actually is it? It is described in the media reports as
"a marble head from the Roman Empire, dating from the first century AD. [...] small, about 20 by 21 centimetres, and had been part of the permanent collection of the Montreal art institution for decades.
The only photo released at the time of the announcement of the theft (for example the one above from the Montreal Gazette) is not too informative. I would like to see some shots from other angles. On what basis is its authenticity affirmed? What stylistic parallels are there in fact and how close are they? How did it enter the national collections and where in "the Roman Empire" was it dug up/knocked off from? Or did it just "surface"? Like Montreal's Fraggonard drawing for example? Looks a bit odd to me from the material presented in all the news releases.
While we are at it, could the Museum tell us how the knocked off bit of Achaemenid palace relief ("Head of a Guard, Fragment of a low relief 5th c. B.C. Sandstone 21 x 20.5 x 3 cm") got from Persepolis (really?) into their collections? Why is the top corner rounded off so oddly? What has been done to turn a piece of monument into (too, it seems) portable art? Is this real or recently produced? What is its collecting history? According to the Montreal Gazette: "The Persian piece [was] donated to the MMFA by Cleveland Morgan in 1950...", where was it before then?
Does it not too look rather suspicious, for example when you compare it with the images of the soldiers on the actual walls? Is not the head dress rather crude and linear compared to those on the walls, and for example this example sold recently by Christie's? Why does it have vertical tooling on the stone not visible on blocks on the wall even if photographed in raking sunlight?
Even if they are kosher antiquities with unimpeachable collecting histories establishing they really were both knocked off real monuments, what is the point of displaying these trophy pieces extracted from a larger whole in a Canadian museum? What does the museum goer get from looking at a sawn-off bit of a relief that says nothing about the message of the actual art-work concerned, which was the whole relief? Surely is this Persepolis relief fragment not a good case for going back to the site with the long-term aim of restoring the wall it came from?
The Art Market in action Persepolis April 2009
(Photo Copyright Sanaz Shirshekar). What kind of person would buy such a block with the marks of the circular saw visible on all four edges? Somebody who cares about the heritage of the past, or some selfish lout who does not care as long as he gets his hands on a bit of it all for himself? (and it makes no difference if they then try to offload it onto a local museum afterwards)
UPDATE the suggestion here that the Persepolis head might be of modern production, later turned out to be wrong, when it was found where it had been taken from by a study of old photos.
Dorothy King said...
Christie's London sold one of those reliefs in the summmer of 1994 - and Saddam Hussein tried to claim it back as looted. It sold because someone was able to find paperwork going back to the 19th century showing it had been legally acquired off the Ottomans (receipts rather than a Firman).
I know exactly what you mean about the cut marks - and know nothing about this particular relief... but most of them were legally acquired and exported a long time ago.
Paul Barford said...
This is (reportedly) from Persepolis, not Iraq.
But if Montreal Museum can show us the nineteenth century receipts, or their equivalent, that would be great. Less great if they cannot.

A precise light waveguide combined total analysis system (TAS) is thought to be one of the most powerful functional elements needed to realize a "ubiquitous healthcare" system. In accordance with this concept, we have proposed a fundamental structure of detecting forward and side scattered light from small particles illuminating laser power through light waveguide formed in a thin resin layer. Based on this concept, we demonstrated its effectiveness of detecting both forward and side scattered light in in-plane direction (Fig.1) by using a trial-manufactured TAS chip. Acquiring further various physiological properties, it is necessary to illuminate them with smaller cross section size of cores of light waveguide, and furthermore, to construct fluorescence detecting systems.

In general, when considering the choice of floor coating to protect the floor of a workshop and a workshop, the practical performance and cost will be considered. Based on these two points, we suggest that customers should start with the following factors: 1、防火花与防静电
1, fireproof flower and antistatic
For some occasions, there is a demand for floors.
2. Cost budget
Select suitable floor type and thickness according to budget.
3. Base level situation
(1) base strength: General requirements, compressive strength is greater than or equal to 20MPa
Smoothness: is it necessary to repair with epoxy mortar?
4, mechanical performance requirements mainly consider the following three aspects:
Wear resistance: what vehicles will be used when the floor is in use?
Pressure resistance: how much load will be used when the floor is in use?
3. Impact resistance: will impact force cause floor surface detachment?
5, chemical performance requirements mainly consider the following two aspects:
Acid and alkalinity: the type and concentration of corrosive chemicals used.
Solvent resistance: solvent type and contact time.
6, aesthetic requirements
(1) color requirement: do we need color division area?
Brightness requirement: choose matte or bright light.
Smoothness requirement: is there any requirement for the smoothness of the floor?
7, safety requirements
If the floor is located in an oil contaminated environment or ramp, it is necessary to choose an anti slip floor.

text: Secure and private authentication protocol is important in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. To date, researchers have proposed many RFID authentication protocols. However, these protocols have many flaws due to lack of theoretical support in designing these protocols. In this work, first we present the security and privacy requirements in RFID authentication protocols. Then we examine related works and point out problems in designing RFID authentication protocols. To solve these problems, we propose,and briefly prove three theorems. We also give necessary examples for better understanding these theorems with concrete protocols. At last, we give our suggestions on designing secure and private authentication protocols. The security and privacy requirements, theorems, and suggestions will facilitate better understanding and designing of RFID authentication protocols in the future.

Pakistan, China custodians of world's ancient civilizations
An exclusive interview with Social Diary Director of China Cultural Centre, Mr You Yi
By: Zubair Qureshi
Since his arrival in Islamabad less than two months ago (on September 2, 2016) Chinese Cultural Counselor Mr You Yi is already working on a number of ideas and themes to further promote cultural and people-to-people ties between China and Pakistan. A man full of ideas and deep insight Mr Yi has no ambiguity about his role as the cultural ambassador of China in Pakistan and takes pride in the fact that he is in a country that is considered the most trustworthy friend of China. Mr You Yi has earlier served as a diplomat in Finland, Canada, New York City, USA, Netherlands and Ethiopia.
In an exclusive interview, Mr You Yi candidly outlined his plans and vision to strengthen cultural ties between the two countries.
Q: How do you view relations between Pakistan and China especially in the historical perspective?
Mr You Yi: Both Pakistan and China have quite a history of good relations in various fields ranging from economic, cultural, education and industrial to education, sports and art and artists. Pakistan is in fact among the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with China and it is because of Pakistan that China opened up to the outer world. That's why we value our relations with Pakistan and consider it our great friend.
Q: Which are the untapped areas that can be addressed to further strengthen friendly ties between the two countries?
Mr You Yi: Pakistan is China's all-weather friend, a strategic partner and there are areas which have huge untapped potential for mutual cooperation like tourism, education, art and artists and cultural exchange. China and Pakistan are working on CPEC which will prove game changer in the region, however, at the same time he emphasized that besides economic corridor, cultural corridor is equally important. It will serve to win people's hearts.
Q: As cultural counselor of China in Pakistan what way forward have you put before yourself in order to promote cultural relations between China and Pakistan?
Mr You Yi: I am looking forward to working at different levels. We have a certain framework to move simultaneously in the areas of education, tourism, art and cultural exchange and women cooperation.
Q: Does your plan include exchange of youth or scholarships for Pakistani students?
Mr You Yi: The government of China is offering scholarships to the Pakistani youth and recently a batch of Pakistani students has left for Chinese universities. Besides, cultural and economic cooperation we have also room for cooperation in the fields of sports. We shall cooperate in this particular area as well. Another area is language of each other's country. Urdu is being taught at certain Chinese universities, similarly in Pakistan Chinese language is being taught, which is again a reassuring factor. It will also serve as a medium of cooperation and coordination between the two countries.
Q: Pakistan is facing a number of challenges like extremism, terrorism, poverty and militancy. What recipe will you offer to overcome them?
Mr You Yi: The government and people of China are deeply concerned about the menace of terrorism and we extend all out cooperation and assistance to curb this menace. The purpose of the CPEC and cultural cooperation is to build mutual prosperity and mutual benefit which is key to lasting peace.
Q: How can prosperity return to Pakistan?
Mr You Yi: I view political stability and economic prosperity interlinked. Unless there is political stability and things are well in place, dream of prosperity I fear will remain largely unrealized. Pakistan should take maximum advantage of China's Trade Policy. China is now the world's second largest economy and China's trade with the rest of the world reached 4 trillion US Dollars last year. In 1949, China's GDP per capita was only 35 US Dollars. Now the GDP per capita reached US$8000.
In the end, Mr You Yi said that Beijing and Islamabad have been close partners for decades, the ChinaPakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a reflection of intensified and expanded bilateral cooperation at a time of rising Chinese geopolitical ambition and persistent concerns about Pakistan's security and development. Chinese Cultural Consular, You Yi ranked the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Culture and other Pakistani organizations for making the celebrations of 67th Anniversary of founding of People's Republic of China (1949- 2016) a great success in Pakistan.

The Netherlands / Audiospot
The province of Zealand and Flanders play a key role at the end of World War II. From September 4 until November 8 1944 the Battle for the Scheldt takes place with the objective to open up the ports of Antwerp for the Allied war effort. Scottish troops enter Middelburg on November 6, 1944. The capital of the province of Zeeland is a battered city. Not because of havoc wreaked by the Battle of the Scheldt, but because of violence of war on May 17th, 1940.
May 17, 1940 is a black day in the history of Middelburg. This is the day that a big part of the city centre was destroyed. Not as a result of a German bombing, which was thought for a long time, but as a result of heavy figthing between German troops and French defenders, who came to the Dutch' aid. Back and forth firing caused a major fire in which almost 600, mostly monumental, buildings were lost. Many residents had fled the city in time, therefor the number of civilian casualties was limited to 20.
The destruction of Middelburg is sometimes called 'the forgotten bombing'. Unlike the well-known bombing of Rotterdam, only few people know what happened in Middelburg.
Visit the Zeeuwse Ankers website (Zeeland Anchors) for comprehensive information, personal stories and videos about the Battle of the Scheldt.


Wordbee has an online, collaborative translation editor that allows for several different methods for splitting the workload between translators. Separate files can easily be assigned to different translators. Single files can be split manually, before translation, and then combined after translation, or they can be kept as a single file and split within Wordbee for the sake of creating separate jobs. Finally, translators can simply translate in the same file simultaneously, using the collaborative editor. In this case, you may need to make some simple adjustments to word counts to reflect how the workload is being split. Furthermore, there are layers of automation that can help you with dividing and assigning files for translation in a project. If translations are inconsistent between different users, the system will flag it during the quality assurance check.

text: Advances in computing has undoubtfully been one of the main catalysts in the formation of the discipline always known as Statistics. A fundamental question addressed here is whether computing facilities, such as parallel or high performance computing, could assist in the development of methodologies that render stronger results, based on some predetermined optimality criterion. The candidate at the hand of which this enquiry is made, is the arc length of some statistical function. Estimation, goodness-of-fit, linear regression and non-linear regression, which may all be considered as central themes in Statistics, are revisited, and redefined in terms of this new measure. The results resulting from these arc length methodologies are obtained from simulation, as well as from real case studies, and contrasted to that obtained using their classical counterparts. Mathematical premises for the proposed methods are provided, together with the documentation accompanying the companion R package, along with the data utilised for the applications.


i need help on my help on my homework.
the question is SOLVE: 1/x+1=5/2
there is a couple of questions like this one this in my homework, and this is the first one. so i figure that if i can get help on this one that i will be able to do the rest on my own? i would be very grateful if someone could help me please?
ps "/" means divided and then on the second bit it's "5 over 2" thanks.
Well this question is about solving equations so what we need to do first is get x by itself on the left hand side of the equation. We need to take the +1 over to the right hand side where it will become -1 (inverse rule) so the equation is now 1/x = 5/2 - 1 5/2 is the same as 5 divided by 2 which is 2.5 so 2.5 - 1 = 1.5 or 3/2 as a fraction so 1/x = 3/2 now we need to multiply the denominators by the opposite numerators (kriss kross) so we get 2 x 1 = 3 x X 2 = 3X no we divide both sides by 3 so x = 2/3

Intelligent Choice of Characteristic Parameters of Oilstone in Honing of Titanium Alloy Cylinder Based on Artificial Neural Network
Titanium alloys have good mechanical properties and organizational stability. However, due to the larger viscousity of titanium, a reasonable choice of the characteristic parameters of oilstone will directly affect the quality and efficiency of honing processing. This article solved multi-objective problem using artificial neural network with fast convergence and high precision. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between the workpiece material, materials status, surface hardness, the required surface quality and various parameters of oilstone, the improved artificial neural network algorithm-GCAQBP was adopted, through coding optimization of input and output parameters, model of intelligent choice of oilstone's parameters was constructed about titanium alloy cylinder honing processing. Through experimental studies, it is shown that the intelligent model can choose quickly with high reliability compared with the traditional experience.

Tool(3U) InterViews Reference Manual Tool(3U)
NAME
Tool - base class for tool objects
SYNOPSIS
#include <Unidraw/Tools/tool.h>
DESCRIPTION
Tool is an abstract base class for objects that support direct manipulation of components. Tools employ animation and other visual effects for immediate feedback to reinforce the user's perception that he is dealing with real objects. The user grasps and wields a tool to achieve a desired effect. The effect may involve a change to one or more components' internal state, or it may change the way components are viewed, or there may be no effect at all (if for example the tool is used in an inapropriate context).
Conceptually, tools do their work within viewers, in which graphical component views are displayed and manipulated. Whenever a viewer receives an input event (such as a mouse click or key press), it in turn asks the current tool (defined by the enclosing editor object) to produce a manipulator object. A tool implements its CreateManipulator operation to create and initialize an appropriate manipulator, which encapsulates the tool's manipulation semantics by defining the three phases (grasp, wield, effect) of the manipulation. Moreover, a tool can delegate manipulator creation to one or more of the GraphicView objects in the viewer to allow component-specific interaction. A tool's InterpretManipulator operation accesses and analyzes information in the manipulator that characterizes the manipulation and then creates a command that carries out the desired effect. If a tool delegated manipulator creation to a graphical view, then it must delegate its interpretation to the same view.
PUBLIC OPERATIONS
virtual Manipulator* CreateManipulator(
Viewer*, Event&, Transformer*
)
virtual void InterpretManipulator(Manipulator*)
Operations that define how the tool reacts when it is used and its ultimate effect. The tool can defer manipulator creation and interpretation to a GraphicView. This allows the same tool to behave differently depending on the component it manipulates.
CreateManipulator creates a manipulator that is appropriate for the tool. It receives the viewer in which the manipulation will take place, an event with which to initialize the manipulator if necessary, and the coordinate transformation that maps canvas coordinates into the subject's coordinate space. InterpretManipulator is called following manipulation and defines how to construct a command that carries out the manipulation's desired effect.
virtual void SetControlInfo(ControlInfo*)
virtual ControlInfo* GetControlInfo()
Tools use a ControlInfo object to store information from which to build a user interface for engaging the tool. These operations set and get the ControlInfo object. SetControlInfo does not delete the ControlInfo being replaced.
virtual Component* Copy()
Return a copy of the tool. Subclasses should redefine this operation to return an instance of their type.
virtual void Read(istream&)
virtual void Write(ostream&)
Read and write the tool's contents to a stream to support catalog operations. Read and write typically call first the corresponding operations defined by their parent class, and then they read or write their class-specific state. Note that you must ensure that the objects are read in the same order they are written.
virtual ClassId GetClassId()
virtual boolean IsA(ClassId)
GetClassId returns the unique class identifier for the Tool subclass, while IsA returns whether the instance is of a class or subclass corresponding to the given identifier. IsA typically checks the given identifier against the instance's own (as defined by its GetClassId operation) and, failing that, calls its parent classes' IsA operation. All subclasses must redefine GetClassId and IsA to ensure that their identifiers are unique and that instances are written and read properly.
PROTECTED OPERATIONS
Tool(ControlInfo* = nil)
The constructor is protected to prevent instatiation of the abstract base class. The ControlInfo object is optional, but only tools that have no visible manifestion in the interface should omit it.
ControlInfo* CopyControlInfo()
CopyControlInfo is a convenience function that subclasses may use in their Copy operation. It returns a copy of the tool's ControlInfo object if it non-nil, simply checking for a nil argument before calling the corresponding Copy on the ControlInfo object.
