A react-spring driven masonry-like grid with enter/exit and shared element transitions.
How to use
import { Grid } from'mauerwerk'
 // Arbitrary data, should contain keys, possibly heights, etc.
 // Key accessor, instructs grid on how to fetch individual keys from the data set
 keys={d => d.key}
 // Can be a fixed value or an individual data accessor (for variable heights)
 // If you leave it undefined it will assume 100% container height
 heights={d => d.height}
 // Optional: number of columns (make it responsive yourself using react-measure/react-media)
 // Optional: space between elements
 // Optional: removes the possibility to scroll away from a maximized element
 // Optional: delay before minimizing an opened element
 // Optional: animates the grid in if true (default)
 {(data, open, toggle) => (
 {open && Opened/maximized content here}
 {open? 'Close' : 'Open'}
You feed mauerwerk any data-set (an array of objects most likely), give it accessors so it can access keys (which can be names, hashes, etc., the same keys you'd normally hand over to React), and either a fixed cell height or individual heights. You render out each individual cell via render-prop. You'll receive three arguments:
 1. data, the item from your data-set
 2. open, the cells state, depending on whether it is true or false you can display varying content or use further animation prototypes to transition from cell-state to maximized-state
 3. toggle, use this to maximize/minimize your cell
You probably don't want flip between open/closed content using static conditions. mauerwerk comes with two simple to use effects:
 - Fade will fade contents in according to the show property. It's a simgple wrapper around react-spring's Transition, you can feed it the same properties (config, from, enter, leave, update). By default it will just move opacity from 0 -> 1.
 - Slug lets elements "crawl" in. It's a wrapper around react-spring's Trail. By default it will move opacity from 0 -> 1 and translate y from 40px -> 0px.
These two would work outside the Grids context if you wanted to use them elsewhere.
import { Grid, Slug, Fade } from'mauerwerk'
 {(data, open, toggle) => (

 Opened content
 Some text
 Close

 Cell content
 Some text
 Open
 Content that would apply to both open and closed state

I have another more specific question about passing data between forms in VB.net
I have a form with over 50 variables that I need to access on a second form and if i followed the method above, my form 2 will end up way too long and time consuming.
I'm making a complex calculation software that prompts user inputs values and calculates all those unknown variables. I need to display all the resulting values in the 2nd form. and from the 2nd form, i want to give the users an option to export all those values to an ms Excel sheet.
Here is an example of what I did in reference to the guide from the above link, Is there anyway to group the multiple properties into one for form2?
Feel free to copy and paste the code.
'form1 with a button and textbox Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim Obj1, Obj2 As New Form2 Dim TDX, TBX, a As Decimal a = TextBox1.Text 'user input value b = 1 + a c = 2 + a Obj1.TDX = b Obj2.TBX = c Obj1.Show() Obj2.Show() End Sub End Class
'form2: 2 labels Public Class Form2 Public _b, _c As Decimal Public Property [b]() As Decimal Get Return _b End Get Set(ByVal b As Decimal) _b = b End Set End Property Public Property [c]() As Decimal Get Return _c End Get Set(ByVal c As Decimal) _c = c End Set End Property Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Label1.Text = _b Label2.Text = _c End Sub End Class

Read My Meter
Your PSNC Energy gas meter measures the amount of natural gas you use each month. Though they vary in size and shape, gas meters record usage by tracking the filling and emptying of the compartments inside the meter.
If you would like to track your usage over time, you can record your readings using our meter reading tracking table (PDF,14KB). But first, it will be helpful to understand how to read your meter. Doing so is easy. Just follow the steps below.
How to Read a Meter
The dials that record the amount of gas used are grouped together in a row of four or five on your gas meter. Each represents a single number in the reading. Here's how to read the meter dials on the meter at your home:
 1. Read the meter dials right to left, writing down the numbers in the same order (right to left).
 2. If the hand points between two numbers, use the lower number. When it points between 9 and 0, always read it as 9.
 3. When a dial pointer appears to be exactly on a number, look back at the dial to the right. If the pointer on that dial has not passed zero, the reading on the dial in question is the lower number.
Reading a Sample Meter
Sample meter
 - Dial A - The hand is in between the 9 and the 0, when the hand is in between two numbers, use the lower number. Dial A's number is 9. (this dial goes clockwise.)
 - Dial B - The hand is between the 2 and the 3, so this dial should be read as 2. (this dial goes counterclockwise.)
 - Dial C - The hand is between the 4 and the 5, so this dial should be read as 4. (this dial goes clockwise.)
 - Dial D - The hand is between the 5 and the 6, so this dial should be read as 5. (this dial goes counterclockwise.)
The correct reading for the sample meter is 5429. This means 5429 hundred cubic feet (CCF) of gas or 542,900 cubic feet.
Is Your Meter Accessible?
Even with Automated Meter Reading technology, PSNC Energy field representatives on occasion will need to manually read your gas meter. To provide the best service, make sure we can reach and read your meter.
 - Keep shrubs trimmed; don't block the meter.
 - Secure your animals if you know there is an appointment scheduled for PSNC Energy to visit your meter.
 - Unlock gates that allow meter access.
 - Never tamper with the meter or paint over the read dials
 - Do not chain or electrically ground anything to the meter.

The influence of governance rearrangements on flood risk management in Kampala, Uganda.
Author / Authors:
The importance of governance rearrangements (reassignment of positions, roles, and responsibility among actors in governance processes) and their implications on flood risk management has gained currency in evaluative environmental governance literature. However, much work has concentrated on building and applying frameworks to evaluate impacts of decentralisation, such that frameworks to evaluate impacts of recentralisation are still lacking. This paper uses the case of Bwaise III informal settlement in Kampala, Uganda, to assess the impacts of local government rearrangements on flood mitigation. We adapted a Water Governance Assessment Framework and conducted 22 in‐depth interviews with stakeholders, searched documentary sources, and carried out transect walks. We generated qualitative data on stakeholder experiences and perceptions regarding governance quality and flood mitigation prereform and postreform. The data were analysed using thematic content analysis to produce a scoreboard measuring changes in governance dimensions against progress in flood mitigation. In a follow‐up survey, 24 structured interviews were conducted to validate the data. Results show that the rearrangements led to time and cost savings, increased revenue, and sped up the implementation of flood management strategies and measures. The findings can be useful to policymakers at the interface of governance and flood management.

Social environmental influences on the development of fighting behavior in male mice were studied with respect to two types of factors: the necessary conspecific interactions; and the critical age of such interactions. Males housed with females fought as much as isolated males, but males housed with males or with a group of males and females fought much less, indicating that the lack of male-male interactions causes the increased "isolation-induced" fighting in the test situation. Males isolated or housed with females for 1 mo showed similar fighting tendencies whether the isolation occurred during the second month of age or during the third month of age. This suggests that the early juvenile age is not the critical point in development of fighting, rather that isolation from other males can increase fighting of male mice at juvenile as well as at adult ages.

"Blowback, "Cocaine Commodity Chains and
Historical Origins of the Mexican Drug Crisis
Dr. Gootenberg, a noted historian of
global drugs, reveals our long hemispheric entanglements with
cocaine. Since 1910, cocaine's production and marketing chains
north have shifted in important ways, leading to ever-larger
supplies of the illegal drug and hotspots of violence closer and
closer to the United States, including Mexico. Much of this
perilous trade has been the unintended consequences--or
"blowback'--of previous U.S. attempts to restrict the drug.
Gootenberg will speculate what may happen as the cocaine now
globalizes once again.
Paul Gootenberg, is a Latin American historian
with interdisciplinary interests in commodity history, state
formation, economic ideas, and social inequality. He is a
specialist on modern Peruvian and Mexican history. As a Rhodes
Scholar he attended St. Antony's College, Oxford, before earning a
doctorate in History at the University of Chicago in 1985.
Gootenberg's books include Between Silver and Guano
(Princeton, 1989), Imagining Development (California,
1993) and the edited volume, Cocaine: Global Histories
(Routledge, 1999). He has held research fellowships from the
Guggenheim, Fulbright, Institute for Advanced Study, Russell Sage
Foundation, ACLS, and Wilson Center, and has been active in various

Proposal Would Make N.H.'s Moose Permit Lottery Even More Competitive
The Annual Moose Hunt Lottery may become even more exclusive. New Hampshire Fish and Game is proposing a plan to give out only 51 permits this year, and that's down from 71 permits issued last year. It's the lowest it's been since the system started in 1988.
NHPR's Peter Biello spoke with Kristine Rines about the proposal and the state's moose population. Rines is the Moose Program Leader at New Hampshire Fish and Game.
This transcript has been edited for clarity.
This is just a proposal at the moment, but it tells us a bit about the moose population in the state. Tell us why a reduction in moose hunting permits is important.
Each year we set the season, and the season parameters are kind of set to try and reach established goals, which are developed by the general public every 10 years. We manage moose in six regions across the state. Each region has a moose population goal and a cutoff threshold for hunting. And those were set in our 10 year planning process, which took place in 2015. So we strive to achieve those population goals by changing numbers of permits within each region.
Was this a planned reduction or is it in response to some new knowledge you've gathered about the state of the moose population in New Hampshire?
Every year we do monitor the population, and based on that monitoring some areas are stable, some areas saw a decline last year due to various factors. The Southwest actually declined to the hunting cutoff threshold. So in response to some of the declines, the permits have been reduced and southwestern region hunting permits have been suspended.
So overall it's an attempt to let the moose population reestablish to a comfort that you're comfortable with?
Hunting is not impacting this population. We are taking about one percent at this rate. I mean, cars are taking three percent. What is driving these populations are parasite loads. So we are allowing hunting because the populations continue to be close to the goals as set by the general public within each region, and we'll continue to allow hunting probably at some different levels than this year based on how the population changes. But the hunt is not what is causing this population to change. It's kind of like saying, "Gee, I'm dying of lung cancer. I have a hangnail. That's what I'm going to focus on." We can't change the overall major impact to this moose population, which is our change in climate, which is in turn changing parasite loads. But we can try and change the hunt, and its impacts to the population overall is not going to be too impressive.
When it comes to regions of the state, where are moose most threatened and why? For example, is there a greater prevalence of the insects that do them harm in one part of the state as opposed to another, or are there more moose-car collision in one part of the state than another?
As far as the parasites go, it's a very different story depending on what part of the state you're in. Everything from the White Mountains north, the parasites that are of greatest concern are winter ticks. That is where we are doing our study is in the northern portion of the state, and that is where tick loads are causing moose to decline. South of there it is brainworm, which is influenced primarily by deer densities, which are increasing because our winters are shorter. And then overall as far as car collisions, we actually see some of the highest levels of car collisions through the White Mountains because there are very limited areas for the cars. They all funnel through on three major road systems, and those areas are also where moose tend to be. So that has the highest of vehicle collisions in the state.
And what are your concerns if this hunting limit isn't dropped from 71 to 51?
Depending on whether it stays at 71 or 51, is that going to have a big major impact on the moose population itself? No, it probably won't. But we have a responsibility to the general public to change in the face of changing conditions. So we are meeting that obligation by changing the number of permits in an attempt to reduce our own impact on the population.
This year may be a good year for moose, ironically enough, because we did have a drought last summer, which we are finding out now may reduce tick impact. We just have to see what happens. Regardless, we can't look into the future and say, "Oh, things are going to get better." We can only do what we do based on the actual information we have currently at hand.

Day of the week Calculator
Calculation of the Day of the week: Enter or set a date and the day of the week for this date will be shown according to the Gregorian calendar. In China the calendar is standard since 1929, Japan uses the calender from 1873, and Korea since 1896. This calendar is used in the UK since 14 September 1752 until now.
Pope Gregory XIII left out ten days because the calendar was in delay in comparison to the course of the year. The reform was a daring step for him and an ambitious goal for the world. It took centuries until all regions of the world followed.
The Gregorian calendar adjusts the difference to the solar year by adding more leap days. It was introduced initially in continental Europe. The first valid date is 15th October 1582. The Julian calendar, which was used before, showed a divergence of ten days to the solar year (the duration the earth turns around the sun).
The Julian as well as the Gregorian calendar start from the premise that the year one is the first year after the birth of Christ, i.e. the first year anno domini. This means that the third millennium has started on New Year 2001.
Here you will find information about calculating the day of the week for a date that you have chosen. The day of the week is based on the Gregorian calendar. The algorithm is based on the everlasting calendar from Theodor Wagner. (US/NA).

Communication case studies for health care professionals : an applied approach, 2nd editionCommunication Faculty Book Gallery
Description/SummaryPreceded by: Interactive case studies in health communication / Michael P. Pagano. c2010. The importance of good communication between health professionals and patients has been well documented. Not only does it foster patient satisfaction, it can have a profound effect on health outcomes. This casebook/workbook helps students, faculty, and health care providers to assess and practice key interpersonal and health communication skills. It presents 45 communication scenarios for students to critique and rewrite in order to enhance the interpersonal relationships of participants. The second edition builds on the first with the addition of 11 new cases and theoretical discussions of interpersonal, gender, intercultural, organizational, and media communication. Additionally, the new edition analyzes each scenario in detail to facilitate broader use by an interprofessional team and expand awareness of the specific skills needed by each health care professional. The new Take-Away Considerations feature at the end of each case study reinforces an understanding of the elements of effective communication. With an eye to time management, each chapter includes effective and ineffective examples of interpersonal communication and interpersonal relationship building. Cases follow the same format including theoretical underpinnings of a particular skill or set of communication skills, an overview of key topics, initial interaction (for role play or analysis), discussion questions (with space for answers), interactive activities and an alternate interaction highlighting more effective communication behaviors, follow-up discussion, key points, and Take-Away Considerations. Scenarios can be used for role play and follow-up discussion in the classroom, for small group work, or individually, as well as in the simulation center and for interprofessional education courses.

What kind of jewellery goes best with your skin tone?
Jewelry is the only thing closest to your skin and what most people notice about your outfit first. When buying jewelry, most people only consider their style and preferences. However, another important factor to consider when choosing jewelry is skin tone. If you've ever noticed that your friend's gold or silver necklace looks much better on it, but doesn't have the same sparkle as you, it's probably because it doesn't match your shade. So how does knowing your skin tone help you choose jewelry? This is because certain metals and stones are perfect for certain skin tones. But once you learn how different types of jewelry can accentuate your skin tone, you'll be able to find the perfect jewelry that will look the best on you.
Categories of skin tone
The first thing you need to keep in mind is that skin color and skin tone are two different things. Your skin color (overtone) is the color of the skin you were born with. It can change due to environmental factors such as sunbathing or burning in bright sunlight. The skin tone (partial shade) never changes. This can be attributed to your ethnicity and biological makeup, which includes pigmentation, melanin, etc.
There are three broad categories of skin tones – cool, warm, and neutral.
Neutral skin tone – Your veins will be both blue and green, equally or tilted one way or the other. If you are exposed to the sun, you will tan or get burned. Sometimes it can depend on the part of the body that is exposed to the sun.
Warm skin tones – Take a good look at your wrists. If your veins look green, you have a warm skin tone. If you stay in the sun for too long, you get tan very easily.
Cool skin tones – People with cool skin tones will have blue or purple veins. Alternatively, people with cool skin tones will burn from too much sun, rather than sunbathing. This is because they have a lower melanin count.
What jewellery you should get
Matching skin tones to metals – Now that you've determined your skin tone, it's easier for you to find the perfect piece of jewelry. People with cool skin tones look best in light metals such as silver, platinum, and white gold, especially jewellery for your wedding day . Those with warm skin tones will look good in gold, rose gold, copper, and brass. People with neutral skin tones have the best of both worlds – both yellow and white metals.
Matching skin tones to gemstones – Matching metals to your skin tone always ensures that your jewelry doesn't look weird when you wear it. However, metal isn't always the focal point of your jewelry – its gemstones. When the gems in your jewelry match your skin tone, they give your piece a more consistent look.
Cool skin tones work well with light colors such as blue and purple as they add some brightness and liveliness to cool skin. So if you have a cool skin tone, go for gems like sapphires and amethysts. Warm tone—People with warm tones will have a yellow skin tone. Yellow, an earth color, will go well with other earth tones such as red, yellow, orange, brown, and turquoise. Reach for a jewelry set with rubies, garnet, coral, lemon, etc. Neutral tone—since you are a mix of both, you are free to choose any Women chokers necklace Jewellery as they will all look flattering.

What is occult bacteremia?
Occult means hidden. Bacteremia is germs (bacteria) in the blood. So occult bacteremia is when bacteria are in the blood but haven't yet caused illness or symptoms other than a fever. Because the bacteria haven't yet caused sickness, the bacteremia is "hidden."
Occult bacteremia happens in babies and children under 3 years of age. After that age, bacteremia always causes symptoms.

What are the symptoms of occult bacteremia?
The only symptom is:
Fever higher than 102° F (38.9° C)
A baby or child who has other symptoms (such as cough, sore throat, or runny nose) has an actual infection, not occult bacteremia.
How can doctors tell if my child has occult bacteremia?
To find occult bacteremia, doctors do:
Doctors may do other tests to look for a bacterial or viral infection, such as:

The age of the child is important. Babies under the age of 3 months may need more tests and even to stay in the hospital during testing. Doctors can't always tell just by looking at very young babies whether they have occult bacteremia or a serious bacterial infection.
How do doctors treat occult bacteremia?
Doctors treat occult bacteremia with antibiotics. Your child may also be given medicine, such as acetaminophen, to reduce fever. Children under 3 months who are sent home with a fever should be seen again by the doctor in 24 to 48 hours.

Canada's Golgotha
1 Thessalonians 4:14
In the Canadian War Museum there's a bronze sculpture by an obscure British artist named Derwent Wood. Entitled Canada's Golgotha, the small bas-relief, less than a metre square, depicts a Canadian soldier crucified to the door of a barn while on-looking German soldiers mock his plight.
The origin of Canada's Golgotha goes back to the Second Battle of the Ypres. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post reported that Canadian soldiers knew of a sergeant who was nailed to a door with bayonets and then shot. The Toronto Star of May 11, 1915, told of a Canadian sergeant lashed to a tree by his arms and legs and bayoneted 60 times. As is often the case, the story came from a second-hand witness who died in the arms of the storyteller. "C. J. C. Clayton, a New Zealander who is serving with the British Red Cross and is now wounded, brings a message from Capt. R. A. Allen of the 5th Canadian Battalion, who comes from Vancouver and who died of wounds in a hospital in Boulogne May 2, confirming the horrible story of the crucifixion of a Canadian sergeant by the Germans …"
In commenting on the story, Canadian historian, Desmond Morton, says "It was a remarkably useful story. In a Christian age, a Hunnish enemy had proved capable of mocking Christ's agony on the cross … providing a means of transforming casual colonials into ruthless fighters."
But there are problems with the story. The German and Canadian governments believe the atrocity is unproven. The Imperial War Graves Commission says that Capt. Allen of the 5th Battalion died on April 30, not May 2. Furthermore, the sergeant is not identified. (A British wartime nurse pinpointed the incident and named Sgt. Harry Band of the 48th Highlanders as the victim. However, although a certain Harry Band died on April 24, 1915, with no known grave, he was a private from the 16th Regiment and not a sergeant). Yet the legend was born and has grown in the telling.
In contrast, Israel's Golgotha is a historical reality (cf. The Works of Flavius Josephus, Dissertation 1, p. 665). There is no doubt that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ of Nazareth actually happened. It isn't a legend or myth. "We believe that Jesus died and rose again" 1 Thessalonians 4:14. And as a result millions have banked their lives on it. As it says in God's infallible Word, "They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get. It was the third hour when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS. They crucified two robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left" Mark 15:22-27.
Two Golgothas'; one Canadian and one Israeli, one recent and one ancient, one unproven and one proven, one designed to alienate and one designed to reconcile, one cast against the backdrop of hatred and one etched in love, one representing war and one representing peace, one largely forgotten and one ardently remembered …

1000kg/h Carbonization Furnace Plant Was Shipped to Congo
Congolese customers ordered a continuous carbonization furnace and charcoal grinder with an output of 800-1000kg/h from our charcoal machine factory for the production and sale of barbecue charcoal. The Congolese customer has inspected the charcoal processing project for nearly half a year and finally decided to purchase carbonization equipment to produce barbecue charcoal. He said that his local barbecue charcoal is in great demand, and he believes that his investment decision is correct, and he will surely create great benefits for himself.
How to make barbecue charcoal in Congo?
At present, the Congolese charcoal production still uses a more traditional method, that is, charcoal kilns are used to carbonize various types of wood and logs. Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of charcoal equipment, the production of charcoal can be carried out with a dedicated carbonization furnace. Considering the low production efficiency of traditional charcoal processing methods and high labor costs, the Congolese customer decided to try to import charcoal machines to produce charcoal.
Why choose the continuous carbonization furnace to Congo?
The Congolese customer understood the difference between different types of carbonization furnaces when consulting us because after consulting him for more information, we recommended continuous carbonization furnaces to him. Why do we recommend a continuous carbonization machine to him?
This is mainly determined by the customer's raw materials. The customer stated that the raw materials used to produce charcoal are mixed, but mainly agricultural waste such as rice husks, wood chips, and peanut husks. The main feature of the customer's raw materials is that they are small in size, so there is no need to use a grinder for processing.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the ultrasonographic (US) features of anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) and the diagnostic performance of US-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) therein. Materials and Methods: Eighteen cases of ATC diagnosed between January 2001 and May 2011 were included. FNAB was performed in all cases. Initial FNAB results were divided into three groups: 1) the cytological ATC group, cytological diagnosis of ATC; 2) the underestimated group, cytological diagnoses of malignancy other than ATC; and 3) the false negative group, cytological diagnoses of atypical, benign and non-diagnostic lesions. We retrospectively reviewed US findings and compared treatment modalities between each group. Results: Among the 18 patients, there were nine in the initially cytological ATC group, four in the underestimated group and five in the false negative group. The most common US features of ATC were a solid (64.7%) and irregular shaped (88.2%) mass with lymph node involvement (76.4%). However, except for lymph node involvement (p=0.003), US findings for each group were not statistically different. The initial cytological diagnostic accuracy of ATC was 50% (9/18). Surgery was performed less in the ATC group (11%) and the false negative group (20%) than the underestimated group (75%). Conclusion: The US features of ATC were not especially different from other types of aggressive thyroid cancer. A correct diagnosis of ATC by initial US-FNAB was made in 50% of the patients, which is significant in that therapeutic surgery can be undertaken in lower numbers if correctly diagnosed.

Key words Pes cavus
Magnetic resonance imaging
Peroneus longus hypertrophy
Springer Online Journal Archives _PHONE_
Abstract Enlargement of the peroneus longus muscle is a common occurrence in patients with forefoot pes cavus, and may contribute to the cavus deformity. The present study compares the morphology of up to five lower leg muscles from 17 patients with forefoot pes cavus with those of normal muscles. Eight cases had an identifiable neurogenic cause for the cavus. In four cases of hereditary motor-sensory neuropathy, the tibialis anterior showed more severe damage than the peroneus longus. In two cases of cerebral palsy, fibre atrophy and increased oxidative enzyme activity were observed. In nine clinically idiopathic cases, the histological appearances ranged from normal to generalised fibre atrophy or hypertrophy in individual muscles. There was a trend for the mean fibre area to be greater in peroneus longus than in tibialis anterior in six of the idiopathic group of patients. The muscle cross-sectional area on magnetic resonance imaging was correlated closely with the mean fibre area measured on tissue sections. In idiopathic forefoot pes cavus, fibre hypertrophy in peroneus longus (relative to tibialis anterior) may contribute to the cavus deformity. Muscle fibre hyperplasia may contribute to the peroneal muscle enlargement in Friedreich's ataxia. In none of the cases was peroneus longus enlargement due to fat or fibrous tissue replacement.

This article reviews the rate of body dissatisfaction and weight bias among young children. It was initially hypothesized that body-image begins much earlier than adolescence, where most interventions take place. Out of fifty articles read on the subject, forty-five peer reviewed articles were included in this review. The findings of these articles were synthesized for a comprehensive review on the topic. Results suggested that weight bias begins around three years of age, while body dissatisfaction begins around age five for girls, and seven for boys. Rates of body dissatisfaction among children were similar to the rate among adolescents, averaging out to be 50%. Results were also similar between males and females, concluding that body dissatisfaction is similar regardless of gender. However, protective factors, such as race and ethnicity, and the absence of weight bias and misclassification in parents, often decreased the rates of body dissatisfaction. Interventions have been implemented as a means to increase body satisfaction in children and adolescents, but none have been successful. Most interventions provided an increase in knowledge for participants, but changes in behavior were not seen long term. The conclusions reached in this study include an optimal age for intervention, between three and seven, and provide information on where this dissatisfaction could stem from.

{\left\...
...\left\{ {{y_n^q-1}\over {y_n-1}} \right\}}}
={p\over q}=\beta .\end{displaymath}
The next lemma shows that $\{y_n\}\to 1$ and completes the proof of theorem 7.10.
7.11 Lemma. Let $\{x_n\}$ be a sequence of positive numbers such that $\{x_n\}\to 1$, and $\{x_n\} \not = 1$ for all $n\in\mbox{${\mbox{{\bf Z}}}^{+}$}$. Then for each $q$ in $\mbox{${\mbox{{\bf Z}}}^{+}$}$, $\displaystyle { \{x_n^{{1\over q}}\} \to 1}$.
Proof: Let $\{x_n\}$ be a sequence of positive numbers such that $\{x_n\}\to 1$. Let $\displaystyle { y_n=x_n^{{1\over q}}}$ for each $n$ in $\mbox{${\mbox{{\bf Z}}}^{+}$}$. We want to show that $\{y_n\}\to 1$. By the formula for a finite geometric series
\begin{displaymath}1+y_n+\cdots +y_n^{q-1}={{(1-y_n^q)}\over {1-y_n}}={{(1-x_n)}\over {1-y_n}}\end{displaymath}
so
\begin{displaymath}(1-y_n)={{(1-x_n)}\over {1+y_n+\cdots +y_n^{q-1}}}.\end{displaymath}
Now
\begin{displaymath}0 \leq \vert 1 - y_n\vert ={\vert 1-x_n\vert \over \vert 1+y_...
...n\vert \over 1+y_n+\cdots +y_n^{q-1}} \leq \vert 1 - x_n\vert.
\end{displaymath}
Since $\{x_n\}\to 1$, we have $\lim\{\vert 1 - x_n\vert\} = 0$, so by the squeezing rule $\lim \{\vert 1 - y_n\vert\} = 0$, and hence
\begin{displaymath}\lim \{ y_n\} = 1.\mbox{ $\diamondsuit$}
\end{displaymath}
7.12 Lemma (Calculation of $A_1^b{[}t^r{]}$.) Let $b$ be a real number with $b > 1$, and let $r\in\mbox{{\bf Q}}\setminus \{-1\}$. Then
\begin{displaymath}A_1^b[t^r] =
{b^{r+1}-1\over r+1}.\end{displaymath}
Proof: By lemma 7.7,
\begin{displaymath}A_1^b[t^r]=(b^{r+1}-1)\lim\Big\{ {{b^{{1\over n}}-1}\over {b^{ {{r+1}\over
n}}-1}}\Big\}.\end{displaymath}
By theorem 7.10,
\begin{displaymath}\lim\left\{ {{b^{{1\over n}}-1}\over {b^{ {{r+1}\over n} }-1}...
...r n}}-1}
\over {b^{ {1\over n} }-1}}\right\}}
={1\over {r+1}},\end{displaymath}
and putting these results together, we get
\begin{displaymath}A_1^b[t^r]={{b^{r+1}-1}\over {r+1}}.\mbox{ $\diamondsuit$}\end{displaymath}
7.13 Lemma. Let $r\in\mbox{{\bf Q}}$, and let $a,c \in \mbox{${\mbox{{\bf R}}}^{+}$}$, with $1 < c$. Then
\begin{displaymath}A_a^{ca}[t^r] = a^{r+1} A_1^{c}[t^r]. \end{displaymath}
Proof: If
\begin{displaymath}P = \{ x_0,x_1,\ldots,x_n\} \end{displaymath}
is a partition of $[1,c]$, let
\begin{displaymath}aP = \{ ax_0,ax_1,\ldots,ax_n\} \end{displaymath}
be the partition of $[a,ca]$ obtained by multiplying the points of $P$ by $a$. Then
\begin{displaymath}
\mu(aP) = a\mu(P).
\end{displaymath} (7.14)
If
\begin{displaymath}S = \{s_1,s_2,\ldots,s_n\}\end{displaymath}
is a sample for $P$, let
\begin{displaymath}aS = \{as_1,as_2,\ldots,as_n\} \end{displaymath}
be the corresponding sample for $aP$. Then
\begin{eqnarray*}
\sum([t^r],aP,aS) &=& \sum_{i=1}^n (as_i)^r(ax_i - ax_{i-1})\\...
...um_{i=1}^n s_i^r (x_i - x_{i-1})\\
&=& a^{r+1} \sum([t^r],P,S).
\end{eqnarray*}
Let $\{P_n\}$ be a sequence of partitions of $[1,c]$ such that $\{\mu (P_n)\}\to 0$, and for each $n\in\mbox{${\mbox{{\bf Z}}}^{+}$}$ let $S_n$ be a sample for $P_n$. It follows from (7.14) that $\{ \mu( aP_n)\} \to 0$. By the area theorem for monotonic functions (theorem 7.6), we have
\begin{displaymath}\left\{ \sum([t^r],P_n,S_n) \right\} \to A_1^c[t^r] \mbox{ and }
\left\{ \sum([t^r],aP_n,aS_n) \right\} \to A_a^{ca}[t^r].
\end{displaymath}
Thus
\begin{eqnarray*}
A_a^{ca}[t^r] &=& \lim \{ \sum([t^r],aP_n,aS_n) \} \\
&=& \li...
...r],P_n,S_n) \} \\
&=& a^{r+1}A_1^c[t^r]. \mbox{ $\diamondsuit$}
\end{eqnarray*}
7.15 Theorem (Calculation of $A_a^b{[}t^r{]}$.) Let $a,b\in\mbox{${\mbox{{\bf R}}}^{+}$}$ with $a<b$, and let $r\in\mbox{{\bf Q}}$. Then

- Encoding induction in correctness proofs of program transformations as a termination problem (2012)
- The diagram-based method to prove correctness of program transformations consists of computing complete set of (forking and commuting) diagrams, acting on sequences of standard reductions and program transformations. In many cases, the only missing step for proving correctness of a program transformation is to show the termination of the rearrangement of the sequences. Therefore we encode complete sets of diagrams as term rewriting systems and use an automated tool to show termination, which provides a further step in the automation of the inductive step in correctness proofs.
- Computing overlappings by unification in the deterministic lambda calculus LR with letrec, case, constructors, seq and variable chains (2011)
- Correctness of program transformations in extended lambda calculi with a contextual semantics is usually based on reasoning about the operational semantics which is a rewrite semantics. A successful approach to proving correctness is the combination of a context lemma with the computation of overlaps between program transformations and the reduction rules.The method is similar to the computation of critical pairs for the completion of term rewriting systems. We describe an effective unification algorithm to determine all overlaps of transformations with reduction rules for the lambda calculus LR which comprises a recursive let-expressions, constructor applications, case expressions and a seq construct for strict evaluation. The unification algorithm employs many-sorted terms, the equational theory of left-commutativity modeling multi-sets, context variables of different kinds and a mechanism for compactly representing binding chains in recursive let-expressions. As a result the algorithm computes a finite set of overlappings for the reduction rules of the calculus LR that serve as a starting point to the automatization of the analysis of program transformations.
- Towards correctness of program transformations through unification and critical pair computation (2010)
- Correctness of program transformations in extended lambda-calculi with a contextual semantics is usually based on reasoning about the operational semantics which is a rewrite semantics. A successful approach is the combination of a context lemma with the computation of overlaps between program transformations and the reduction rules, which results in so-called complete sets of diagrams. The method is similar to the computation of critical pairs for the completion of term rewriting systems. We explore cases where the computation of these overlaps can be done in a first order way by variants of critical pair computation that use unification algorithms. As a case study of an application we describe a finitary and decidable unification algorithm for the combination of the equational theory of left-commutativity modelling multi-sets, context variables and many-sorted unification. Sets of equations are restricted to be almost linear, i.e. every variable and context variable occurs at most once, where we allow one exception: variables of a sort without ground terms may occur several times. Every context variable must have an argument-sort in the free part of the signature. We also extend the unification algorithm by the treatment of binding-chains in letand letrec-environments and by context-classes. This results in a unification algorithm that can be applied to all overlaps of normal-order reductions and transformations in an extended lambda calculus with letrec that we use as a case study.


You don't have to fit the common criminal stereotype to be charged with a criminal offense. Regular people are arrested everyday, often for a mistake or a misunderstanding. But when you are facing a criminal charge, that's little reassurance. Even a disorderly conduct charge has the potential to change your life in a significant manner; understanding your rights and having an experienced advocate on your side can minimize this impact.
Disorderly Conduct Charge? Call _PHONE_.
People find themselves facing Massachusetts disorderly conduct charges everyday. Often these charges are levied when a frustrated police officer gets annoyed or aggravated. But annoyance of one officer is rarely enough for a conviction.
Massachusetts Disorderly Conduct Laws
What is disorderly conduct? Massachusetts law defines a "disorderly person" as one who acts with purpose to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm; or recklessly creates a risk thereof by
 - Engaging in fighting or threatening, violent or tumultuous behavior, or
 - Creating a hazard or physically offensive condition by any act which serves no legitimate purpose.
While annoying an officer or generally being a pain in their but might not win you any points, it certainly doesn't fulfill all of the aspects of this offense. Often an officer will overestimate the risk you create, making it seem as if your behavior has created a hazard or offensive condition. If you attorney can show that the situation was misunderstood and possibly blown out of proportion, there's a good chance the charges can be dropped.
Disorderly Conduct Penalties
If you are convicted of disorderly conduct in Massachusetts, this offense carries up to 6 months in jail.
In some situations, officer misinterpretation isn't to blame for your arrest and charge. Perhaps you did engage in fighting or other actions that could be considered disorderly conduct. If this is the case it is your attorney's job to advocate on your behalf, seeking to show the courts that you deserve mercy and a second chance.
Depending on your criminal record, your attorney may be able to work out a plea agreement with the prosecutor to ensure you don't have to serve jail time. Instead, you may be allowed to serve your sentence within the community while on probation.
The specifics of your potential penalty and the likelihood that you'll walk away with no consequences depend wholly on the facts of your case. Discussing all of the facts of your case with a criminal defense lawyer is the first step in ensuring the most positive result possible.
If you've been charged with Massachusetts disorderly conduct, contact us to speak with a local defense lawyer that can help.

To make conversions in recipes, you need to understand how milliliters relate to grams in different situations. For water, converting mL to g is easy. But with other ingredients it is much more complicated.
mL to Grams converter: water, flour, sugar, salt, butter (mL to g)
Type a value in the input field to convert the value to grams:
What Is a Milliliter?
You will often see milliliters in recipes written outside of the United States because it measures volume in the metric system. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter (L). A liter is the volume of 1 kilogram of water at 4 degrees Celsius.
If you need to convert to the imperial system, one milliliter is equal to about ⅕ teaspoon or 0.03 fluid ounces. A mL is sometimes called a cc (cubic centimeter). The symbol representing a milliliter is mL.
What Is a Gram?
A gram is also a common measurement in recipes written outside of the United States. It measures mass and weight in the metric system. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram (kg). And there are 1,000 milligrams (mg) in one gram.
If you need to convert to the imperial system, one gram is equal to 0.035 ounces (not fluid ounces). The symbol representing a gram is g. You should use a kitchen scale to get the most accurate measurements in grams.
Milliliters Vs. Grams
Milliliters and grams are both measurements in the metric system, but they measure different things. Milliliters measure volume, and grams measure weight. Volume is the amount of space the ingredient takes up. Weight is the gravitational force on the ingredient.
Because different ingredients have different densities, their weights will be different even if they take up the same amount of space in a container. For example, a milliliter of water and a milliliter of sugar don't weigh the same in grams even though they take up the same amount of space. This is because they have different densities.
Converting mL to g
As explained in the section above, you cannot convert mL to g without knowing the density of the ingredient. The precise conversion between milliliters and grams is dependent on the density of the ingredient being weighed.
If you know the density of the ingredient, you can convert milliliters to grams and grams to milliliters.
- To convert mL to g, multiply the volume in milliliters by the density in g/mL.
Grams = volume (mL) × density (g/mL)
- To convert g to mL, divide the weight in grams by the density in g/mL.
Milliliters = weight (g) ÷ density (g/mL)
The only easy conversion from mL to g is water. Water has a density of 1 g/mL, so one gram of water is equal to one milliliter of water. But for other ingredients, their densities will vary, so each milliliter will weigh a different number of grams.
Conversion Table for Common Ingredients
Ingredient Milliliters (mL) Grams (g)
To convert mL to g, you need to know the density of the ingredient. The densities of ingredients will vary, so each milliliter (volume) will weigh a different number of grams (weight).

Archdeacon of Sheffield and Rotherham
The Archdeacon of Sheffield and Rotherham is a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Diocese of Sheffield, responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy within the six area deaneries.
In 1884 the Archdeaconry of Sheffield, consisting of the rural Deaneries of Sheffield, Handsworth, Ecclesford, Rotherham and Wath, was created within the Diocese of York from part of the York archdeaconry.
In 1913 the deanery of Wath was split off to form part of the new Archdeaconry of Doncaster.
In 1942 the deaneries of Sheffield and Handsworth were abolished and replaced by the deaneries of Attercliffe, Ecclesall, Hallam, Laughton and Tankersley.
The current (2014) six deaneries comprise Attercliffe, Ecclesall, Ecclesfield, Hallam, Laughton and Rotherham.

Wireless power transmission (WPT) through microwave beams represents a key technology for the long distance transfer of energy in the absence of a traditional electrical network. Its importance is demonstrated by the increasing research and industrial activities concerned with the design, manufacturing, and prototyping of efficient WPT systems. In this framework, several design methodologies are being investigated for the synthesis of transmitting antenna arrays able to maximize the power beaming efficiency of WPT systems. In this contribution, the state-of-the-art design techniques for WPT arrays are reviewed, and some of the latest advances in this field are discussed.


DC-MBR: Distributional Cooling for Minimum Bayesian Risk Decoding
12/08/2022

Minimum Bayesian Risk Decoding (MBR) emerges as a promising decoding algorithm in Neural Machine Translation. However, MBR performs poorly with label smoothing, which is surprising as label smoothing provides decent improvement with beam search and improves generality in various tasks. In this work, we show that the issue arises from the un-consistency of label smoothing on the token-level and sequence-level distributions. We demonstrate that even though label smoothing only causes a slight change in the token-level, the sequence-level distribution is highly skewed. We coin the issue distributional over-smoothness. To address this issue, we propose a simple and effective method, Distributional Cooling MBR (DC-MBR), which manipulates the entropy of output distributions by tuning down the Softmax temperature. We theoretically prove the equivalence between pre-tuning label smoothing factor and distributional cooling. Experiments on NMT benchmarks validate that distributional cooling improves MBR's efficiency and effectiveness in various settings.

 - The car-sharing concept originated in Switzerland in 1987, and one of the largest car-sharing opera- tions in the world is still run by Mobility Switzerland, in close partnership with the Swiss Federal Railway. It runs a fleet of 1,650 cars in more than 930 locations, and has enrolled more than 58,000 members. As well as its size, the Swiss program has enjoyed enormous success in influencing travel behavior. Surveys show that members who gave up their car after joining the car-sharing program increased their transit usage by 35%, from 3,560 miles per year to 4,810 miles per year.

Did you know that David Hockney has experimented with different mediums throughout his career?
This section provides further insights into the "bigger picture" of the artist's creative process and introduces several parts of it: (i) his use of watercolors and acrylic; (ii) his stage and opera designs, such as those made for Igor Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress (1951) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Die Zauberflöte (1791); (iii) his use of photography-related mediums and optical devices to represent perspective and (iv) his interest in state-of-the-art technology, such as the iPhone and iPad.
Stage design is an important and less-known part of Hockney's artistic output. He created his first opera design in 1975 for Igor Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress (1951)—see image of one of the original models (ink and photography on cardboard). Afterward, theater became a great influence on his art and aesthetic approach. In his designs, Hockney employs a variety of mediums, such as prints, collage, or painting, which he also applies onto their three-dimensional versions. He often creates models—initially small ones, like the ones shown here. His stage designs for New York's Metropolitan Opera's triple bill of Erik Satie's Parade (1916–17), Francis Poulenc's Les mamelles de Tirésias (1947), and Maurice Ravel's L'enfant et les sortilèges (1917–25) as well as a Stravinsky triple bill in 1981—Le sacré du printemps (1913), Le rossignol (1914), Oedipus Rex (1927)—later reappeared in his Los Angeles home, which he painted in the same bright dark red and blue colors. Afterwards, he created designs for Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde (1857–59) in 1987, Giacomo Puccini's Turandot (1921–24) in 1992 and 1993, and Richard Strauss's Die Frau ohne Schatten (1918) in 1993 and 1996.
The bright, bold colors and large-scale of the stage designs announce his return some years later to the Yorkshire landscape, featured in the exhibition.
The Arrival of the Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, in 2011 (twenty-eleven) (2011), a 52-part work consisting of 51 iPad drawings and an oil painting on 32 canvases, can be considered as an evolution of his theatrical vision, as this monumental work also assumes a cinematic quality.
In the early 1960s, David Hockney shifted his attention from oil to the water-based medium of acrylic, which he used for a considerable period of time as this newly developed paint allowed him to capture the quality of the light and the sunny environment of Los Angeles. The resulting vibrant colors are employed to startling effect in paintings of showers, swimming pools, and lawn sprinklers executed in the late 1960s and 1970s.
In the early years of the 21st century, Hockney turned to watercolor, often considered an old-fashioned medium. He mastered it through extensive practice and highly valued the speed of execution it afforded. In 2002–04, Hockney traveled throughout northern and southern Europe, and these trips resulted in a series of landscapes, a "return to simplicity" in his words. In these works, Hockney explores how to create space with only a few lines. Technically, there is no pencil under the color, just paint applied directly onto the paper with "as few brushstrokes as possible" and a limited palette, sometimes only four colors.
When Hockney first started to paint from observation in Bridlington, East Yorkshire, he used watercolor to record the changing landscape through the seasons. The exhibition includes 36 Yorkshire watercolors.
David Hockney has always been radical in his use of unconventional technology to make art, from the Polaroid camera and fax machines to the iPhone in 2009, iPad in 2010, and high-definition DVR more recently; the iPad, in a sense, substituted his need for sketchbooks. Hockney has said that he delights in its immediacy, which allows him to work very fast to capture the changing light and conditions of a scene. When working directly from observation, Hockney uses the Brushes application. In this way, he mimics the Impressionist technique of painting en plein air, often depicting the same subject done at a single location and varying his painting hours or times of the year. Hockney spends hours painting outdoors in all seasons and in a variety of mediums.
The large iPad prints of the monumental Yosemite Valley in California (2011) are explorations of the sublime landscape. In these and other works, Hockney reflects the idea of 18th-century philosopher and politician Edmund Burke, later clarified by German philosopher Immanuel Kant in Critique of Judgment (1790), that beauty "is connected with the form of the object," having "boundaries," while the sublime "is to be found in a formless object," represented by "boundlessness."
The use of this tool opened up a whole range of new possibilities for art making and enabled Hockney to produce drawings in different sizes.
Hockney has had a long-term, love-hate relationship with the camera between periods of intense experimentation and attempts to completely reject its influence.
By the 1970s, the use of photography allowed him to be both subject and observer. Family members and close friends became recurrent subjects, both in photography and other mediums. His parents often posed for him, emulating traditional studio paintings, and in the early 1980s his close friends appeared in photographic composites made up of multiple Polaroid snapshots. Evoking Cubist fragmentation, these photocollages are influenced by the work of Pablo Picasso, whom he greatly admired. In this period, Hockney created over 100 Polaroid images and more than 200 photocollages with a Pentax 110 single-lens reflex camera and a 35 mm Nikon. Also, photocopy machines provided Hockney with another tool to produce numerous prints that he sent by fax and allowed him to work on his own and at great speed. These devices opened up a new world to Hockney's creative process.
An intense period of investigation on the old masters followed, including research on their use of lenses, mirrors, and other optical tools, such as the camera lucida, which was patented in 1807. Experimenting with how this device could have helped artists from the past, he used it to produce more than 280 portraits in 1999–2000.
More recently, Hockney has used digital technology in creating large-scale landscapes made of numerous elements, as seen in this exhibition. In them, photographs were not used in a preparatory phase, but rather helped the artist map the progress from one painting to another; back in the studio, the images could be assembled in a computer to indicate how the entire work would look.

Previous observations (see publication 3933) indicate that combined 7 Hz sinusoidal and parallel static magnetic fields can induce a significant increase in diffusion rate of substrate across carbonic anhydrase-loaded liposomes. A direct involvement of charges of stearylamine on the lipid membrane surface was also found.
In this study the influence of 7 Hz magnetic fields (Bdc=50 µT and Bacpeak=50 µT) on the kinetic of carbonic anhydrase located on the external surface of liposomes was examined. Specifically, it was evaluated whether conformational changes in the catalytic and/or substrate-binding sites of the enzyme might cause the observed effect on carbonic anhydrase-loaded liposomes.
|Chamber||3 cm³ silica cuvette|
|Setup||field components perpendicular to cuvettes|
No difference in the apparent Km (Michaelis-Menten constant) between exposed and sham-exposed samples was revealed. On the contrary the apparent Vmax (maximal velocity of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction) was increased by approximately a factor of 2 after exposure. In spite of the proteolytic digestion (proteinase K incubation) of this external carbonic anhydrase, a significant increase of enzymatic activity, as a function of increase in the diffusion rate of substrate across the lipid bilayer, was found in the exposed samples.
Based on these data, a conformational change induced by the field on the carbonic anhydrase located on the external surface of liposomes is excluded as an explanation for previous observations, supporting the primary role of bilayer stearlyamine in the interaction with ELF.
A model of extremely low frequency interaction explaining the physical phenomenon induced on the dipole of stearylamine has been developed.


Dmytro Bortniansky (1751 – 1825) was an Ukrainian composer and conductor of Rusyn descent. A unique and influential figure in Russian and Ukrainian music, Dimitry Bortnyansky was primarily known for his sacred choral concertos and multi-movement a cappella compositions that both struck out new paths for various combinations of tutti and solo voices and helped Westernize the Eastern Slavonic tradition. He also wrote many hymns, which, like his choral concertos, gained wide currency throughout late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century Europe. Bortnyansky wrote 55 surviving choral concertos (at least 23 others are lost), and also composed operas, keyboard sonatas, and chamber works.

NASA's James Webb Telescope reached a crucial milestone the week of March 10–16, as researchers found a dangerous vulnerability in self-driving vehicles and made strides in animal conservation.
Researchers demonstrated that industry-standard self-driving vehicle sensors are vulnerable to a hack that tricks them into seeing objects as closer or farther away than they actually are. The researchers suggest adding a two-camera setup to sensors or implementing data-sharing with other vehicles to reduce the risk from this type of attack.
Scientists discovered an extinct cat-like predator called Diegoaelurus vanvalkenburghae, which preceded the saber-tooth tiger by 40 million years. It's part of a little-known animal group called Machaeroidines, which subsisted on meat but aren't closely related to modern carnivores.
Researchers decoded the DNA of the vulnerable Arabian oryx, an important step for future breeding programs that could bring the animal back from the brink of extinction. The Arabian oryx was once extinct in the wild, but wild populations today number around 1,200 thanks to breeding in captivity.

The study explores educational contexts of shaping youth's feeling of cultural identity. Te opinions of lower secondary school teachers are referred to in regard to the tasks and contents of multiand intercultural education implemented at this educational stage. Moreover, the new curriculum base for lower secondary schools is considered here and an analysis of a Polish language course book for grade I is undertaken with focus on the issues which are of interest to the authoress. What is also indicated are the consequences of educational practice for the identity of lower secondary school learners who live in the Polish-Czech borderland in Cieszyn Silesia. Every activity, also pedagogical, always takes place in particular conditions and is subject to the influence of environmental factors. Te need for situating the activities associated with identity shaping in particular contexts and considering them as outer determined in many ways is an obvious fact and does not require any justification. Due to the pedagogical thought, appropriate regard for the educational context as a factor explaining the presence, contents, course and results of educational practice in the learner's identity is far from sufficient. Therefore, this is worth closer consideration.

Low-Crosstalk Controlled Impedance Board
It is proposed to combine stripline and co-planar methods for controlled impedance boards as a means of reducing crosstalk in semiconductor devices. The proposal reduces crosstalk between signal lines by a factor of three.
Controlled impedance boards in single or multi-layer environments are designed using the stripline, microstrip, or co-planar methods. In the conventional stripline technique shown in Fig. 1, a controlled impedance line is obtained by having a ground plane 1 on the top and another ground plane 2 on the bottom of the conductor 3 and varying the clearance 4 between conductor 3 and ground planes 1 and 2. The
(Image Omitted)
microstrip method uses a similar technique except that the ground is on only one side of the signal for use in single-layer boards.
The stripline technique has the limitation that the signal lends itself to picking up crosstalk from its neighboring signal trace. The conductors 3 and 6 have to be kept apart to reduce the crosstalk. The increased distance 5 from conductor 3 to conductor 3 is undesirable, especially with higher frequencies and faster signal edges.
The co-planar design uses ground lines on either side of a conductor 3. The impedance is maintained by varying the clearance 7 between conductor 3 and ground line 6 which varies the capacitance induced on the conductor 3. This reduces the crosstalk, but it is desirable to reduce it even further.
A combination of the stripline and c...

What are the rules for splitting words at the end of a line?
In printed texts, especially those with narrow columns, it's necessary from time to time to divide the last word in the line, and put some of it on the line below. The computer's automatic word-breaking system can execute this, but sometimes the output is 'wrong': tran + scend or trans + cend, des + pite or de + spite, the + rapist or ther + apist and go on and on. Yet dictionaries are far from unanimous about word-breaking.
That being said, I wonder if there are any 'rules' or guidelines that can be helpful in word-breaking actions.

The Regional Municipality of Waterloo is constructing a new Water Treatment Plant at the site of the existing Strange Street Pumping Station in the City of Kitchener. The existing pumping station building is listed under the City of Kitchener's Heritage Register as a non-designated property of heritage value or interest. Therefore, the heritage structure is being restored and enlarged through a building addition with reservoir. The new building will house a new water treatment process designed to accommodate increased flow and treatment requirements.
The project involved several sub-projects including installation of three (3) low lift pumps, three (3) high lift pumps, two (2) backwash supply pumps and two (2) supernatant pumps. Interpump was contacted by Stantec, the engineer contracted by the Region of Waterloo, to assist with selecting the vertical and submersible turbine pumps for the new treatment plant.
Interpump engineers worked closely with Stantec to customize the design to meet the project requirements. Many pump models were analyzed and compared in order to achieve an optimal pump design. Multiple design constraints such as a wide flow range requirements and low water level close to the minimum submergence requirements of the pumps made the Backwash and High Lift vertical turbine pump selections especially difficult. Vertical turbine pumps are used in high chlorine water (>1mg/L), therefore non-standard materials had to be used. Moreover, the low water level for the supernatant pumps was marginal for the original concept using submersible turbine pumps. We investigated self-priming pumps and also canned vertical turbine pumps. It was determined that there was insufficient floor space to accommodate these pump styles. Ultimately, the design proceeded with submersible turbine pumps in flow inducer sleeves. Interpump provided design guidance for the flow inducer sleeves.
Interpump engineers selected and proposed eight multi-stage Xylem Goulds VIT-DIFM vertical Turbine pumps and two Xylem Goulds VIS-BAT Submersible Turbine Pump that could meet all the requirements of the site. The pumps selection was assisted using Goulds Water Technology (a Xylem Brand) selection software. Goulds Water Technology also provided additional Engineering analyses and reporting to verify that there was a sufficient margin between the pump axial, lateral, and torsional critical speeds and pump operating speeds to avoid vibration issues in the field.
Interpump was proudly selected as the supplier for these pumps over other competitors. As part of the supply contract, Interpump will also provide site assistance during pump start-up and commissioning.
