of the partial inbreeding coefficient. In that matrix, the value in row \(i\) and column \(j\) indicates the probability of IBD of individual \(i\) for alleles coming from ancestor \(j\). Values in the upper diagonal of the matrix always take values of zero. Of course, the summation of \(F_{i(j)}\) over every column \(j\) equals \(F_{i}\) when \(j\) are founder ancestors.
m <- ip_Fij(arrui, mode = "founders") # ancestors considered are founders (by default)
base::rowSums(m) # this equals ip_F(arrui) %>% .$Fi
By default, ip_Fij only considers partial inbreeding conditional to founders, but it can also be extended to any ancestor using the mode = "all" argument. A custom number of individuals can also be used (see ?ip_Fij). Note however that for a large number of individuals, the computation of this matrix may require a substantial amount of time. In every case, columns of the returned matrix are sorted by ancestor identity use.
Figure below shows the contribution of the two founders in the Barbary sheep pedigree to inbreeding values \(F>0.35\).
arrui <- arrui %>% purgeR::ip_F()
tibble::tibble(founder1 = m[, 1], founder2 = m[, 2], Fi = plyr::round_any(arrui$Fi, 0.025)) %>%
 tidyr::pivot_longer(cols = c(founder1, founder2), names_to = "Founder", values_to = "Fij") %>%
 dplyr::group_by(Fi, Founder) %>%
 dplyr::summarise(Fij = sum(Fij)) %>%
 ggplot() +
 geom_bar(aes(x = Fi, y = Fij, fill = Founder), stat = "identity", position = "fill") +
 scale_x_continuous("Inbreeding coefficient (F)", limits = c(0.35, 0.625)) +
 scale_y_continuous("Partial contribution to F (in %)", labels = scales::percent_format()) +
 scale_fill_manual(values = c("darkgrey", "black")) +
 theme(
 panel.background = element_blank(),
 legend.position = "bottom"
 )
Alternatively, partial inbreeding can also be estimated via genedrop simulation (using option genedrop). This will however result in less precise estimation of \(F_{i(j)}\), and might only be convenient to use in terms of performance for very large and complex pedigrees. In these cases, a value of genedrop = 100 might give results that are well correlated with exact estimates (\(r > 0.9\) for the pedigree examples provided).
Ancestral inbreeding coefficient
The ancestral inbreeding coefficient (\(F_{a}\), Ballou 1997) measures the probability of IBD of an individual for an allele that has been in homozygosity in at least one ancestor.
This parameter provides information not only about inbreeding, but can also be used to detect purging, since individuals with inbreeding \(F\) and ancestral inbreeding \(F_{a}\) are expected to be more fit than individuals with the same level of inbreeding but lower \(F_{a}\), given that the ancestors of the former have survived and reproduced despite their higher inbreeding (see Boakes & Wang 2005 and López-Cortegano et al. 2018 for analyses using this parameter).
Ancestral inbreeding can be estimated for an individual \(i\) with dam \(d\) and sire \(s\) as:
\[F_{a_{i}} = \frac{1}{2}[F_{a_{d}} + (1-F_{a_{d}})F_{d} + F_{a_{s}} + (1-F_{a_{s}})F_{s}]\] Alternatively, a gene-dropping simulation approach can be used, following Baumung et al. (2015), providing unbiased estimates of \(F_{a}\). This is because, above expression assumes that \(F\) and \(F_{a}\) are uncorrelated, which is not true.
Both approaches can be used with the function ip_Fa. Note that the computation of \(F_{a}\) requires estimating \(F\) in advance. Use argument Fcol to declare a column with \(F\) values if it has been computed and saved in advance (this will save time), or leave it blank to compute it on the go.
# F was pre-computed above
darwin %>%
 purgeR::ip_Fa(Fcol = "Fi") %>%
 dplyr::filter(names == "William Erasmus Darwin")
#> id dam sire names Fi Fa
#> 1 60 54 52 William Erasmus Darwin 0.06298828 0.001953125
# Compute F on the go (it won't be saved in the output)
# And enable genedropping
atlas %>%
 purgeR::ip_Fa(genedrop = 1000, seed = 1234) %>%
 dplyr::select(id, dam, sire, Fa) %>%
 tail()
#> id dam sire Fa
#> 943 943 882 737 0.6475
#> 944 944 653 822 0.6000
#> 945 945 653 822 0.6000
#> 946 946 740 822 0.6050
#> 947 947 740 822 0.6075
#> 948 948 897 737 0.6340
\(F_{a}\) can also be estimated based on population estimates of \(N_{e}\) and generation numbers, using the expression from López-Cortegano et al. (2018):
\[F_{a(t)} = 1 - (1-\frac{1}{2N})^{\frac{1}{2}t(t-1)}\] This can be achieved with the function exp_Fa (e.g. exp_Fa (Ne = 50, t = 50)).
Purged inbreeding coefficient
The purged inbreeding coefficient (\(g\)) gives the probability of IBD for deleterious recessive alleles. The reduction of \(g\) when compared to standard inbreeding depends on the magnitude of a purging coefficient (\(d\)) that measures the strength of the effective deleterious recessive component of the genome (García-Dorado 2012), so that \(d=0\) implies \(F=g\), and higher \(d\) (up to 0.5) means lower \(g\) in more inbred individuals. It can be calculated in pedigreed populations from the purged kinship coefficient (\(\gamma\)), in a similar way as standard inbreeding, following the methods described in García-Dorado (2012) and García-Dorado et al. (2016):
\[\gamma_{i,i} = \frac{1}{2}(1+g_{i})(1-2dF_{i})\]
\[\gamma_{i,j} = \frac{1}{2}(\gamma_{i,j_{d}}+\gamma_{i,j_{s}})(1-dF_{j})\] Where \(j_{d}\) and \(j_{s}\) are \(j\)'s mother and father respectively, and \(i\) is older than \(j\).
The function ip_g computes the purged inbreeding coefficient, given a value of \(d\). The choice of a proper value of \(d\) can however be complex. A separate vignette titled "Inbreeding and Purging Estimates" describes methods to help computing the inbreeding load as well as the purging coefficient.

What is an OID?
Introduction to OIDs
An object identifier (OID) is an extensively used identification mechanism jointly developed by ITU-T and ISO/IEC for naming any type of object, concept or "thing" with a globally unambiguous name which requires a persistent name (long life-time). It is not intended to be used for transient naming. OIDs, once allocated, should not be re-used for a different object/thing.
It is based on a hierarchical name structure based on the "OID tree". This naming structure uses a sequence of names, of which the first name identifies a top-level "node" in the OID tree, and the next provides further identification of arcs leading to sub-nodes beneath the top-level, and so on to any depth.
A critical feature of this identification mechanism is that it makes OIDs available to a great many organizations and specifications for their own use (including countries, ITU-T Recommendations, ISO and IEC International Standards, specifications from national, regional or international organizations, etc.).

How are OIDs allocated and what is a registration authority?
OID registration standards
At each node, including the root, there is a requirement for some organization or standard to be responsible for allocating arcs to sub-nodes and recording that allocation (together with the organization the subordinate node has been allocated to), not necessarily publicly. This activity is called a Registration Authority (RA).
In the OID tree, RAs are generally responsible only for allocation of sub-arcs to other RAs that then control their own sub-nodes. In general, the RA for a sub-node operates independently in allocating further sub-arcs to other organizations, but can be constrained by rules imposed by its superior, should the superior so wish.
The registration tree is indeed managed in a completely decentralized way (a node gives full power to its children).
The registration tree is defined and managed following the ITU-T X.660 & X.670 Recommendation series (or the ISO/IEC 9834 series of International Standards).

What is an OID repository?
Features offered by this OID repository
Initially, it was left for each Registration Authority (RA)in the hierarchy to maintain its own record of allocation beneath that RA, and to keep those allocations private if it so chose. There was never any policing of this. An RA in the hierarchy was its own master and operated autonomously.
In the early 1990s Orange developed software for their internal use which was generic enough to provide a publicly available repository of OID allocations.
Information on OIDs is often buried inside the databases (perhaps sometimes paper) maintained by an immense number of RAs. The information can be hard to access and is sometimes private. Today this OID repository is regarded as the easiest way to access a large amount of the publicly available information on OIDs: Many OIDs are recorded but it does not contain all existing OIDs.
This OID repository is not an official Registration Authority, so any OID described on this web site has to be officially allocated by the RA of its parent OID. The accuracy and completeness of this OID repository rely on crowdsourcing, i.e., each user is welcome to contribute data.

4.4. Transclusion
XMLmind Ebook Compiler has good support for transclusion, that is the ability to include contents found in an input HTML page into another input HTML page. This feature is implemented using a standard mechanism called XInclude.
Example, "page1.html" contains paragraph having id="notice":
1
2

Interest rates are subject
to fluctuation without notice.

Because this paragraph has an id, it's possible to include it in "page2.html":
1
2
3
4
5
6

Paragraph found in page2.html.

<xi:include href="page1.html" xpointer="notice"
 xmlns:xi="_URL_ />[1]

Other paragraph found in page2.html.

The corresponding output HTML page will then contain:
1
2
3
4
5
6

Paragraph found in page2.html.

Interest rates are subject
to fluctuation without notice.

Other paragraph found in page2.html.

Note that transclusion works fine not only between two input HTML pages, but also:
However transclusion does not work between an input HTML page and an ebook specification.
Example 4-2. Transclusion works fine within the same input HTML page
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

Interest rates are subject
to fluctuation without notice.

... ELSEWHERE in page1.html ...
<xi:include href="" xpointer="notice"
 xmlns:xi="_URL_ />
Notice href="" to refer to the same file.
Transclusion is most often used between the input HTML pages and a "utility HTML page" which is not an input HTML page but which contains useful "snippets".
Example, excerpts from "snippets.html":
1
2
3
4
5

XMLmind Ebook Compiler.

XMLmind XML Editor.

XMLmind.

Now, including snippets in an input HTML page:
1
2
3
4
5
6

9

<xi:include href="snippets.html" xpointer="ebookc"
xmlns:xi="_URL_ /> is free, open source software
developed by <xi:include href="snippets.html" xpointer="xmlmind"

<xi:include href="snippets.html" xpointer="xxe"
xmlns:xi="_URL_ /> is a commercial product

[1] Creating xi:include elements by hand is tedious and error prone. It's strongly recommended to use an XInclude-enabled editor like XMLmind XML Editor to do that. With XMLmind XML Editor, creating an xi:include element is as easy as copying a reference to an element (Ctrl+Shift-C) from one page and then pasting it (Ctrl-V) into another page.

Did you know? The lifespan of joint sealants exhibits significant variability, influenced by factors such as environmental conditions, product types, and structural settling. Ranging from 5 to 10 years, with some requiring repairs in as little as a few years, proper maintenance is crucial. It is essential to incorporate an annual sealant inspection regimen for your buildings. This proactive approach ensures their resilience against the challenging weather elements typical of the Mid-Atlantic region: rain, snow, ice, wind, and more. An improperly sealed building, or a building with worn out and deteriorated sealant, will cost you – both in additional expenses for preventable repairs, additional heating/air conditioning expenses, problems related to insect or vermin infestations, etc.

Regarding the downcomer duct, similar factors need to be taken into account as with the gas cooling tower. Owing to the smaller cross-sections and the higher velocity that results, the evaporation time is reduced compared to the gas cooling tower. The required outlet temperature and the available evaporation distance determine the amount of water required and the droplet size necessary for complete evaporation.
Complete evaporation is required to prevent material build-up and to ensure the durability of the downstream fan. Due to the higher gas velocity and the resulting decrease in evaporation time, finer droplets are required. This is why almost exclusively twin-fluid systems are used. In order to provide the perfect solution, we configure the systems according to your process data and duct dimensions.

icipe MLN research recognised
9 – 13 May 2016, Praque, Czech Republic – icipe's research on the use of satellite data to map the severity of maize lethal necrosis (MLN) in Kenya earned significant recognition at the 2016 European Space Agency (ESA) Living Planet Symposium.
A paper titled: Mapping maize lethal necrosis severity in Kenya using multi-spectral high to moderate resolution satellite imagery, presented by Richard Kyalo et al.,was selected as the most innovative out of more than 1500 oral paper presentations made at the Symposium. Richard is a PhD Candidate in the icipe Geo-Information Unit.
The paper presented findings of the research, which show the possibility of using time-series and multi-sensor satellite data (with permissible spatial resolutions) to monitor the spatial distribution of MLN disease infestation rates in small scale farms in western Kenya. Satellite data on MLN severity could complement field efforts and lead to more synoptic and wide-area information on where intervention efforts need to be prioritised. If MLN severity maps are combined with other crop productivity constraints information data feeds (such as droughts and soil fertility), decision making in regard to farmers' risks and ultimately food security can be significantly improved.
This research is funded through a small grant from the Advisory Service on Agricultural Research for Development (BEAF), run by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.The Remote Sensing Department of the University of Wuerzburg, in cooperation with the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), was the German collaborator in this project.

Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) was first described by Sir Thomas Lewis in 1910. In the AIVR heart rhythm, your lower heart chambers beat slower than normal. With this type of rhythm, your heart's ventricles or lower chambers may start your heartbeat, if your natural pacemaker located in the upper chambers is unable to pace the heart.
Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) is a ventricular rhythm consisting of three or more consecutive wide QRS complexes, with gradual onset and gradual termination. AIVR is usually seen during acute myocardial infarction reperfusion (following thrombolytic therapy or percutaneous coronary intervention), and rarely manifests in people with completely normal hearts or with structural heart disease.
How to Spot Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm on Your Watch ECG
Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) is traditionally defined as an ectopic rhythm with more than 3 consecutive premature beats, with gradual onset and gradual termination, and usually competitive with the sinus rhythm.
These are the characteristics of how you identify accelerated idioventricular rhythm:
- Rhythm: Regular (in most cases)
- P Wave: Absent
- PR Interval: Not measurable
- QRS: Wide (>0.12 sec), bizarre-looking
Unlike ventricular tachycardia, which is faster than 100 beats per minute, accelerated idioventricular rhythm has a rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Common Symptoms of Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm
Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) is usually a benign and well-tolerated arrhythmia. Most cases of AIVR will require no immediate treatment for this dysrhythmia because AIVR is usually self-limiting and resolves when the sinus rate exceeds that of the ventricular foci. Usually, people with accelerated idioventricular rhythm don't have any symptoms. If they do, they include:
- Passing out
- Heart palpitations
Any Cause for Concern?
For most people, accelerated idioventricular rhythm is harmless and goes away without treatment. However, if your heart palpitations don't stop and you get lightheaded, you may need further evaluation. Other options include medication or procedures to get your heart rhythm back to normal.
As always, if you show signs of a potential accelerated idioventricular rhythm, contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible to rule out the presence of harmful underlying conditions.
Still Not Sure How to Spot Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm on Your Watch ECG?
Your smartwatch can be your partner in looking after your heart. If you're concerned about accelerated idioventricular rhythm, get your smartwatch ECGs reviewed by experts within minutes on the QALY app: iOS and Android.

Offloading Strategies for the Rendering Process in Edge-enabled Virtual Reality Games
Schmit, C. (2022) Offloading Strategies for the Rendering Process in Edge-enabled Virtual Reality Games.
[img] PDF
6MB
Abstract:For the optimal quality of experience (QoE), the user should play the VR game at the highest resolution, without stalls or quality switches and at a minimal start-up delay. Current Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) have insufficient local processing power to meet these requirements. Using Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC), the HMD offloads (communicates computationally heavy tasks to servers at the base station) and awaits the results. Aided by these servers' considerable computing power and their proximity to the HMD, offloading can reduce the end-to-end rendering delay. However, if channel conditions are adverse, the network transmissions endanger the latency requirement of VR applications that expect a response in milliseconds. Rendering strategies decide, per frame, the location of processing and the resolution quality. Instead of approaching the process on a frame-by-frame basis as done by existing work, we evaluate the user's QoE using all aforementioned QoE metrics and focus on the strategies' explainability. Results show that rendering strategies that frequently offload to the MEC servers and use encoding schemes achieve the best QoE-scores. Furthermore, results show that dynamic strategies can deteriorate the QoE when frequently alternating between different resolutions. Hence, rendering frames at higher resolutions is only advisable when sustainable for an extended period.

Crossing Large Gaps And Chasms
The following trick is a simple way to cross large gaps if you cannot figure out how to solve the puzzle (for example, catapults). Re-allocate your skill points, if needed, to equip Zoya with the low gravity arrows and Amadeus with the Conjure 2 or higher abilities. Create a low gravity field and suspend one of Amadeus's boxes within it, refire the low grav arrows, and reposition the box as needed to center the bubble over the chasm. Suspend two or more of Amadeus's boxes within the field to create a bridge. With some practice, you can move the low gravity field with you as you jump from box to box.
Super Mario Surprise
Work your way through the first half or so of the secret Dwarven Caverns stage and you'll reach an area where you can use a drill machine to access a switch that will open the pathway allowing you to advance. That switch is located in the room's lower right corner, and you may notice a door just beyond it that appears to be a dead end. A double jump will allow you to pass the door, though, and beyond it you'll find a cool Easter Egg that pays homage to Super Mario Bros.

Query tuning/planner method configuration v14
These configuration parameters are used for planner method configuration.
edb_enable_pruning
Parameter type: Boolean
Default value: true
Range: {true | false}
Minimum scope of effect: Per session
When value changes take effect: Immediate
Required authorization to activate: Session user
Allows the query planner to early prune partitioned tables. Early pruning means that the query planner can "prune" (that is, ignore) partitions that aren't searched in a query before generating query plans. This setting helps improve performance because it prevents generating query plans of partitions that aren't searched.
Conversely, late pruning means that the query planner prunes partitions after generating query plans for each partition. The constraint_exclusion configuration parameter controls late pruning.
The ability to early prune depends on the nature of the query in the WHERE clause. You can use early pruning in only simple queries with constraints like WHERE column = literal, for example, WHERE deptno = 10.
Don't use early pruning for more complex queries such as WHERE column = expression, for example, WHERE deptno = 10 + 5.

The Victorian Energy Upgrades program (VEU program) is an initiative to slash energy bills by providing energy-efficient products. The program is devoted to the diminishment of greenhouse gas emissions. The program encourages people to install energy-efficient products such as LED bulbs and tubes as they consume less energy.
Modernization of the electric industry is one of the federal government's main initiatives and we should embrace this with open arms.
The upgrade process is done by Accredited Provider (AP) and their representatives in residential and commercial premises to reduce power consumption. APs create Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) for each upgrade. Market activity determines the price of certificates and the amount of incentive or discount a business or household will receive on an energy upgrade.
The VEU program is administrated by the Essential Services Commission (ESC), which is an independent regulator of retail energy.
Victorian Government Energy Efficiency Targets
Why upgrade to LEDs under the VEU program?
- Free and discounted LED products are installed under the program
- The program helps in greenhouse gas emission reduction
- All the upgrades are done by A-Grade electricians across the state
- Get high quality LED products installed for free
- Get away from future power price hikes
How does the Victorian Energy Upgrades program work?
- Installer assess your premises and suggest LED products for the installation
- Installation is done by an A-grade electrician/installer
- Once the upgrade process is complete, the Accredited Provider (AP) generates Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) for the LED upgrade
- Old lighting bulbs/products are collected and safely disposed of
- You start saving
What do we offer under the VEU program?
We are Accredited Provider (AP) under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. The program provides energy upgrades for every eligible household and business in Victoria. We help Victorian households and businesses switch to LEDs and save thousands of dollars per year on their lighting cost. We replace old lights such as globes/incandescent bulbs, CFLs, and halogen downlights with LED lights for free in households. If you are a resident of Victoria and using old lights, you are certainly eligible for the upgrade.

Sunon Liquid Circulation Cooling (LCC) System
The need for this kind of cooling technology is being driven by the thermal challenges that are associated with ever increasing processor speeds. As CPUs and associated electronics become faster, and hotter, the ability to dissipate this heat with conventional air cooling devices is becoming increasingly difficult. Even when the heat can be removed with active air cooling devices, the price that must be paid with noisier acoustics (due to the high fan speeds required) is often unacceptable to both the system designer and the product end user.
With increased thermal efficiency provided by a liquid heat transfer medium, liquid circulation cooling does offer significant cooling advantages over conventional air cooling. Presently, however, there are still several key limitations of liquid cooling that have prevented its widespread adoption by the majority of the mainstream desktop and notebook computer makers.

Post-mortem MRI may detect cause of sudden cardiac death
From: Cardiology Today
Researchers were able to identify chronic, subacute, acute and peracute MI using post-mortem cardiac MRI on human forensic corpses of patients who experienced sudden cardiac death. The imaging technique, they wrote, may offer a viable alternative to clinical autopsy.
Post-mortem MRI detected at least one ischemic lesion in 76 of the 136 cases. The causes of death in these cases were determined to be cardiac-related in the final forensic case assessment. In these patients, the researchers identified 124 myocardial lesions, 25 of which were chronic, 16 subacute, 30 acute and 53 peracute. Confirmation of chronic, subacute and acute lesions could be made histologically and macroscopically, with 100% agreement between autopsy and post-mortem MRI findings.
The researchers were unable to observe peracute lesions macroscopically on autopsy but were able to verify peracute lesions found on post-mortem MRI in targeted histological evaluations in 62.3% of cases. Peracute lesions could be linked to a matching coronary finding in 84.9% of cases. The remaining 15.1% did not have a matching coronary finding but presented with severe myocardial hypertrophy or cocaine intoxication.
"Post-mortem imaging is a new tool to explore [sudden cardiac death]. As in popular television series, the careful collection and analysis of data from different sources, including clinical information and advanced post-mortem imaging, lead to the identification of the cause of death," André Schmidt, MD, PhD, of the Medical School of Ribeirao Preto, University of São Paulo in Brazil, wrote in an editorial comment. "From an epidemiological point of view, it will probably reduce the number of cases of unknown origin and may contribute to the establishment of a cost-effective diagnostic protocol."

OUT to sea on the Sunshine Coast, an epic river of flight is wheeling its way south on the great annual mutton bird migration.
But like every great surge of nature, some of these long-distance fliers are starting to drop from the skies and wash up on beaches along Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay islands.
Biosecurity Queensland test results on several short-tailed shearwaters, otherwise known as mutton birds, which have fallen victim to their non-stop mass migration from Russia to rookeries in Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, may be available today.
The Department of Environment and Resource Management believes the birds were probably suffering from exhaustion after encountering bad weather along the way.
"A similar event occurred five years ago when short-tailed shearwater birds were found deceased around Fraser Island," a DERM spokesman said.
"Tests at that time confirmed they died from emaciation and starvation as a consequence of the migration."
He said more than a million migratory birds travelled thousands of kilometres to and from Australia each year.
Coast migratory bird enthusiast Jill Dening said mass deaths usually were weather and starvation related and were nothing to be alarmed about.
"They fly by in their millions. It's like a river of birds and it's nature's way of sorting out the strongest," she said.

Migratory birds declining, govt monitoring habitat
New Delhi: The population of endangered migratory bird species is either decreasing or stable, but the central government is working to protect them during their sojourn, says Environment and Forests Minister Jayanthi Natarajan.
The number of migratory birds arriving in India depends on various factors, including habitat quality, preference and human disturbances along their migratory routes, Natarajan said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha Tuesday.
However, as per the latest Asian Waterbird Census coordinated by the Wetlands International, the population of threatened migratory birds in the entire flyway region, which includes Central Siberia, Mongolia, Central Asian republics, Iran, Afghanistan, the Gulf and the Indian subcontinent, is either decreasing or stable.
Natarajan said the central government is providing financial and technical assistance to specialised institutions like the Salim Ali Centre for Ornithology and Natural History (SACON), the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) for conducting studies to monitor the populations of important bird species and their habitat.
WII, BNHS and SACON are monitoring migratory birds in the Keoladeo National Park in Bharatpur in Rajasthan. BNHS is also working in Point Calimere in Andhra Pradesh.
In Himachal Pradesh's Pong Dam wetlands, one of the largest manmade wetlands in northern India, the BNHS is tracking the migratory routes of the barheaded goose and some duck species through satellite.
A study on the status of trans-Himalayan and Himalayan birds, including migratory ones, is being conducted by the WII.
Crossing national and international boundaries, millions of migratory birds descend in India to avoid the extreme winter chill in their native habitats.
According to "Handbook on Indian Wetland Birds and their Conservation", written by scientists of the Dehradun-based Zoological Survey of India, of the 1,230 species found in the Indian subcontinent, nearly 350 are migrants.
The most abundant winter migrants to the Indian subcontinent are ducks and geese. Both constitute about 85 percent of the population.
The book says the birds go by celestial navigation. The birds possess sensory objects that can trace the waves generated by earth's magnetic field. The migration starts when the winds are favourable, mostly at dusk.

A collection of iconic images illustrating the experience of Australian prisoners of war on the Burma Railway have, in the words of the English artist who created them, returned "home".
The works have been bought by Tattersall's and will have their permanent home at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
Their creator, Jack Chalker, studied at the Royal College of Art in London and started the war with a British artillery unit but was demoted after an altercation with an officer.
In 1942, he was among the allied prisoners shipped to Thailand in overcrowded trains to build the railway line linking that country and Burma.
There, the man who yesterday described himself as "a fringe Anzac" first came into contact with Australians.
"The Australians were vigorous and ingenious and they hated all the bullshit that I hated in the British Army," he said.
"I responded to the Aussies. They could live rough and make do in the worst of conditions. I made a lot of Australian friends and wanted to be with them."
In a hospital camp, he met Colonel Edward "Weary" Dunlop, the surgeon who famously preserved the morale of his men amid starvation, maltreatment and disease.
Dunlop later recalled the young Chalker as "a stripling Michelangelo whose nose, due to onslaught by a Japanese guard, had a similar malalignment to that of the Master".
Dunlop soon recognised that beneath Chalker's gentle, courteous manner lay a spirit hardly less daring than his own.
In the absence of photographic records, Dunlop realised "the immense historical value" in Chalker's ability to record not only the detail of prison camp life, but also the various diseases to which the prisoners of war were subject.
Completed on scraps of cloth and paper, the drawings then had to be hidden in places such as an artificial limb to survive the frequent searches by guards.
Chalker says he recognised Dunlop's stature "almost immediately".
"He worked his guts out for everyone else, even when he was sick. He was always there. You thought, 'If Weary's here, we're okay.'
"Looking back, you realise how bloody lucky you were. For three-and-a-half years, he battled on."
Chalker was present the day Dunlop, having been log-tortured and with broken ribs from a beating with sticks, limped back to the hospital tent and resumed his operating schedule.
"You think, 'Who else would do this'?" Now 84, Chalker says: "When Weary died, he took a part of us with him."
Included in the collection is Chalker's painting of Dunlop performing an amputation in the bamboo hut lined with mosquito netting that passed for an operating theatre in the Chungkai camp in 1943.
The collection also has possibly the most famous of all Burma Railway images. Titled Working Men, Konyu Camp, October 1942, it shows a barefooted man supporting an emaciated companion, who is struggling along with a bamboo walking stick.
The Jack Chalker Collection will remain on display in the Melbourne Museum's Australia Gallery until June 23.

Our industry loves talking about food (honestly, who doesn't?). So, when talking professionally about your product, it's nice to explain the texture and taste on a scale everyone understands. That's why we have Texture Profile Analysis (TPA). It began as a trained sensory panel measuring and describing the textural properties of food. Today, specialized equipment can be used for a more objective and scalable option.
What does texture profile analysis tell you?
TPA helps describe the textural attributes of the food product, which are broken down into different primary categories:
- Hardness: the initial force used to deform
- Cohesiveness: how the item holds together
- Viscosity: flow rate
- Elasticity: the rate at which a deformed item reforms, or its springiness
- Adhesiveness: rate at which item comes away from probe (instrumental) or roof of mouth/teeth
The primary categories can be further broken down into secondary categories:
- Resilience: measurement of how a sample recovers from deformation in relation to speed and forces
- Brittleness (Fracturability): the initial force needed for a material to fracture
- Chewiness: energy required to chew a solid food until it is ready for swallowing
- Gumminess: energy required to disintegrate a semisolid food until it is ready to swallow
Each of these categories can been broken down even further to give a clearer picture of the food. Measurements are made by compressing an item to a set distance and analyzing the force it takes for the item to deform.

TIFF Compression and Fill Order
The TIFF compression options allow you to select the specific compression methods to use on different types of outputted TIFF image files.
TIFF Compression
The Advanced Monochrome option (sometimes also known as fill order) allows you to select the order in which bits are stored within a byte when writing image data to the file. This option is used generally with fax format TIFF files.
Fill MSB to LSB - When storing in most significant bit to least significant bit (MSB to LSB) fill order, bits are stored starting at the high-order bit of each byte, with successive bits stored at the next-highest bit until the byte is filled.
Fill LSB to MSB - when storing in LSB to MSB fill order, bits are stored in reverse, starting at the low-order bit of each byte. LSB to MSB fill order is recommended only when dealing with black and white images, and with the CCITT Group 3 1D compression method.

Marcus-like inversion in electron transfer in neat ionic liquid and ionic liquid-mixed micelles.
PMID 21466177
Abstract
Ultrafast photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) to coumarin dyes in a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL, [pmim][BF(4)]) and in a mixed micelle containing the RTIL and a triblock copolymer, (PEO)(20)-(PPO)(70)-(PEO)(20), (Pluronic P123) is studied using femtosecond upconversion. A Marcus-like inversion in the rate of PET is observed in neat RTIL. This is attributed to high viscosity and nanostructuring of the RTIL. Diffusion and the rate of PET in the neat RTIL are slower than those in the RTIL-P123 mixed micelle. The coumarin dyes exhibit faster electron transfer and translational diffusion (anisotropy decay) in the RTIL-P123 mixed micelle compared to that in the P123 micelle.

To do this we introduce a partial order in the set of submonoids(More)

I'm having trouble understanding Postgres's CASCADE DELETE behavior.
If table_A REFERENCES table_B, and the column referenced could have multiple instances of the same value, will the table_A row be DELETEd even if there are still valid references upon a table_B DELETE?
If so, how can table_A only be DELETEd by CASCADE when there are no valid references left?

I think you must be misunderstanding CASCADE foreign keys, and/or the rules around foreign keys in general.
A foreign key can only refer to a table with a unique constraint or primary key. So in your example, you cannot create a foreign key referencing table_b if there can be multiple instances of a value in the referenced column.
When you DELETE FROM ... a table, and another table has an ON DELETE CASCADE foreign key reference to it, all referencing rows are deleted from the other table.
The column referenced cannot have multiple instances of the value, because you cannot create a foreign key to a column that is not unique.
The referring column of the table with the constraint may have multiple values that refer to the column in the referenced table. If so, when the referenced value is removed, all these are deleted, as you would expect in a CASCADE.
regress=> CREATE TABLE table_b (id integer);
CREATE TABLE
regress=> INSERT INTO table_b (id) VALUES (1), (2), (3), (1);
INSERT 0 4
Can't create the foreign key, no unique constraint or PK:
regress=> CREATE TABLE table_a (b_id integer REFERENCES table_b(id) ON DELETE CASCADE);
ERROR: there is no unique constraint matching given keys for referenced table "table_b"
Can't add a PK or unique constraint, has duplicates:
regress=> ALTER TABLE table_b ADD PRIMARY KEY (id);
ERROR: could not create unique index "table_b_pkey"
DETAIL: Key (id)=(1) is duplicated.

UCLA Chemists Create Nano Motor
Researchers at UCLA, the University of Bologna, and the California NanoSystems Institute have created a nanometer size motor powered by sunlight. The researchers said that the results of their research will be published on January 31st in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The nanometer size, molecular motor could be used in nanoelectronics, molecular computers, or as nano valves for the delivery of anti-cancer drugs or other medicines. The research taps a molecular scale system called a rotaxane, a moleculer component which is about six nanometers long. The researchers said that they will next work on taking their nanomotor technology and putting them on surfaces and into membranes.

The Imaginative Treatment of Geometry in Waldorf Education
A. Renwick Sheen, Ms.C. (Tech.)
edited by David Mitchell Newly revised edition
Geometry was my favorite of all math subjects – in large part because I was taught through drawing and proofs, not through the formulaic method that seems to be so popular right now. Mr. Sheen bases his exploration of geometry on the tenet that experience through drawing is of great value to a student, and I couldn't agree more. His method of presentation is concerned with experience through drawing, which leads to a stimulation of the child's imagination and understanding of logical relationships. This book is particularly valuable for teachers of grades 6-8 and is richly illustrated. New revised edition.

Oregon Elects First-Ever Kid Governor to Help Fight Bullying
11-year-old Dom Peters has a three-point plan to combat bullying across the state.
Oregon Kid's Governor
Earlier this month, 11-year-old Dom Peters was elected first-ever Kid Governor in the state of Oregon. He ran on an anti-bullying platform and was voted in by a majority of the state's 5th-graders. A victim of bullying himself, Peters understands the pain that comes from being picked on at school or online and promised to create a comprehensive plan that ensures bullying is taken seriously in Oregon.
What even is a Kid Governor? And what powers do they hold? The Kid Governor Program began in Connecticut in 2015 and is designed to encourage students to learn about government while exploring their passion for a specific issue. Each year, a new student is elected and given a platform upon which to help raise awareness and propose changes that could make a difference in their communities.
Oregon is only the second state to join the program by creating a state-wide 'office' for civic-minded kids, and elected officials pulled out all the stops for its first-ever Kid Governor inauguration ceremony. Several top lawmakers were in attendance including Senator Peter Courtney, who spoke about the three branches of American government. Kid Governor Peters then gave his inaugural address, in which he laid out his "three-point plan" to help combat bullying at school and on the internet.

Obviously, bullying remains a serious issue for kids across the country, as they're no longer just susceptible to teasing and harassment on the school playground. And it's clear that Peter's platform resonated with other fifth-graders. Hopefully, he can use his time in office to enact some positive change for Oregon students, not to mention learn a few things that might help get him elected to higher office someday down the road.

The West Village Historic District of Buffalo is a 22 acre neighborhood in one of the city's oldest residential areas. It is one of only a few in our country to achieve three designations as an Historic District under both the City of Buffalo and New York State, and it is also listed in the Federal National Register of Historic Places. The jewel of the West Village Historic District is unquestionably Johnson Park.
It is named for Ebenezer Johnson. So who is he, and why is this park named for him?
Ebenezer Johnson. Photo from Buffalo City Hall photos.
Ebenezer Johnson was from Connecticut. He studied as a physician in Cherry Valley, New York, where he met and married his first wife, Sally. He came here in 1810 and opened his medical practice in what was just a glimmer of what he himself would witness Buffalo become during his time here. During the War of 1812 he accepted a position as an assistant surgeon with the volunteers of New York State.
After the war, he returned to Buffalo and opened a drug store as well as resuming his medical practice. After 1823 he became very active in business and eventually became well known for construction, real estate, trade and banking. No small feat. He became quite successful and next turned to politics. He held several posts and sat on many boards, and in 1832 when Buffalo was incorporated as a city he was elected by the common council as Buffalo's first mayor. Ah, that's why the park is named for him! That, and the following…
That same year Johnson broke ground on a grand home located on a large piece of property he owned on Delaware Avenue between Chippewa and West Tupper. It was completed in 1834. The home was referred to as "the Cottage" and was considered the most palatial home in Buffalo to date. On the property itself there was a man made lake, fruit orchards, a large vegetable garden and flower gardens. The 25 acre property and "Cottage" was a well known spot for socializing among the elite in Buffalo.
The "Cottage". Photo from "Buffalo's Delaware Avenue: Mansions and Families", by Edward T. Dunn.
Johnson served a second term as Mayor of Buffalo in 1834-35, after having turned down the nomination in 1833. Mayoral terms at the time were one year.
Sadly his wife passed away in 1834. He remarried a year later to Lucy Lord. Johnson continued to be an influential member of Buffalo society until selling his estate and leaving the city sometime around 1847, when he moved to Tellico Plains, Tennessee, where he owned an iron ore mine with his brother. He passed away there in 1849.
During the 1850's Johnson's property was divided up into one of the most elegant residential sections of the city at the time. The lake became part of Rumsey Park on the estate of Bronson and Evelyn Hall Rumsey. The Cottage was re-purposed as The Female Academy, the most elite, all girls school in the city. Incidentally, it was the first institute of higher learning for women in the country. (!) The Female Academy still exists today as Buffalo Seminary, now located on Bidwell Parkway.
The "Cottage" Photo credit to "History of the City of Buffalo and Niagara Falls." Published by The Times, 1896.
An 1876 map of city parkland indicates that Frederick Law Olmsted redesigned the green space in the center of Johnson Park and incorporated it into his overall design of our Park System. And it shows. You only have to walk through the park to feel Olmsted's presence here. The flow of the park is just lovely. No other way to describe it.
Many of the homes on Johnson Park that were built in the 1850's still exist, and many have been recently restored to their former glory. They are close together, fostering that "neighborly, friendly" feel we discussed in the second part of this series. And like the other residential parks as well, Johnson Park is a great place to walk and to meet and talk to fellow Buffalonians, whether you live there or not. The people here are indeed friendly, and more than willing to discuss what they know of the park and the homes lining it.
Johnson Park has suffered through the socio-economic troubles that have touched our city, and indeed our whole country. Thankfully, Johnson Park and the city of Buffalo both have committed residents willing to stay the course. And like the city itself, the results in Johnson Park are showing. This is due in great part to the commitment of the Johnson Park Association and the Cary Street Association, both of whom lead the way in ensuring that both Johnson Park and the West Village Historic District will remain as an integral, thriving neighborhood in Buffalo for a long time to come.
Hutchinson Technical Institute which borders Johnson Park on South Elmwood Avenue
I get a feeling in this park. It's a nostalgic feeling of days gone by. At the same time I feel a sense of future here, like the residents have a clear vision of what they hope for the neighborhood. It makes me want to stay. Live here. Experience city living at its absolute best. That, is Johnson Park.
Go see it, you will be enchanted!
I hope you enjoyed my series about Buffalo's Residential Parks.

VIDEO: Graduate Students Create Solar-Powered Batteries
A team of graduate students designed and constructed prototypes of rechargeable solar-powered batteries for their Design 401: Human-Centered Design course, and their design recently won honorable mention in the 2010 Dow Sustainability innovation Challenge.
These batteries, tentatively called "Helios" after the sun god of Greek mythology, are each equipped with small solar panels that recharge the battery when exposed to direct sunlight.
"We're trying to use solar energy to solve common everyday problems," said graduate student Akshay Thakker. "And one of the problems we see in today's world is that people use way too many batteries."
Other team members include:
- Zeke Markshausen
- Scott Aikin
- Lenore Kaplan
Team members say they still need to overcome the challenges that coincide with using solar power, such as poor efficiency, in order to develop a product that could replace hundreds of regular batteries that would normally be thrown into landfills across the country.

Designing a JSF Page
The first thing you want to do after getting the page open in the
designer is to expand the palette on the right hand side of the
design by clicking the left arrow on the top of it:
The palette will read the tag libraries out of your build path
and load them so you can utilize the Drag and Drop interactions
with building your web pages.
Some of the more important tag groups to be aware of are as
There are the most common sets of tags you will likely be using
while designing your pages. Let's use these items to Drag and
Drop a login form onto our new page.
First we drag a JSF HTML
form onto the page and update the page text a bit:
Now we want to layout a typical login form with a username,
password and login buttons. To lay these items out nicely, it
sounds like it would be a 3x2 table, but if we want to include space for login error messages, we would likely want a 3x3 table.
In JSF there is a component that will layout it's contents in a table automatically for us, it's called a panelGrid. Let's go ahead and drag a panelGrid into our form and be sure to set the columns value to 3:
The first thing to notice is that when the panelGrid is added, the designer automatically adds 4 sample components to it, to get an idea of how output will work.
For this tutorial, we are going to place the following components in the panelGrid in the given order:
- outputText: "Username:" label
- inputText: username text field (ID=username)
- message: display username error messages (FOR=username)
- outputText: "Password:" label
- inputSecret: password text field (ID=password)
- message: display password error messages (FOR=password)
So we haven't added the buttons yet, but at this point our form is done and properly laid out and looks like this:
It's important to note that the message components will only be rendered when they have messages to display.
Now let's add our buttons. Given the layout of our login form, we may want to left-align the buttons under the input boxes to make the form look nice. If we simply place a single button in each cell (1 under Password, 1 under inputSecret) they are going to be unevenly spaced. However, the way the panelGrid works is to take components added directly to it, and lay them out in a table, cell-by-cell. To be able to group our two buttons together, and place them under the input fields, we will need to use a panelGroup.
The first thing we need to do is add an empty component (we used an empty outputText) to the panelGrid, so it places it under the Password label. Second, we need to add a panelGroup, so it places it under the input fields. Then inside the panelGroup, we will add our two buttons. The result looks like this:
Once that panelGroup is added, we don't have to add another component to be placed under the existing message components. The panelGrid will keep everything laid out correctly.
Now the design portion of our page is done and has given you a good idea of how the designer works. Of course, if you were building a real JSF application, you would need to step back into the page, and using the designer, assign action handlers to the buttons, and value bindings to the input fields to make sure your managed bean was correctly backing the values on this page.
These steps are outside the realm of this tutorial, which was simply intended to introduce you to the new Visual JSF Designer. If you'd like to see how to design a real JSF application, please check out the JSF Tutorial in the MyEclipse help documents or available from the MyEclipse site.

Two existing low schools were merged and expanded into one wide school. Design: SBH architects, in collaboration with Petra Hartman and Ruud-Jan Kokke.
The existing schools respectively had 6 and 8 classrooms. As a result of the new construction, 10 classrooms were added and a passageway of two floors with some independent office units and work stations for students. The building houses two schools, a daycare center and a BSO (after-school daycare).
The cooperation with SBH resulted in a building for which the decorative elements could directly be processed within the architecture.

How to Modify Your Car to Run on Alcohol Fuel
How to modify your car to run on alcohol fuel
Last Updated on June 10, 2022 by Bernard Juchli
It feels strange that you can modify your car to run on alcohol fuel. Truthfully, alcohol can be your fuel source in the absence of gas. You will no longer experience a gas shortage, join the queue at the pump or get to pay higher fuel prices. Some farm tractor makers still produce alcohol engines. However, they are export only, so you do not get to see them around.
How to modify your car to run on alcohol fuel
Looking at the current state of international politics, you can see that imported crude oil is affected and the cost is always on the rise. With alcohol, you no longer have to rely on crude oil to power your vehicle. Apart from consuming alcohol during an event, it can also relieve the pain of refilling gas.
Meanwhile, nearly all gasoline-powered engines can run on alcohol as fuel and you require just minor and inexpensive engine modifications to get started. If you have decent mechanical skills alongside the hand tools, this engine modification would be even easier.
What Are the Different Types of Alcohol Fuel?
Some centuries ago, some automakers manufactured vehicles that run on alcohol fuel. The Ford Model T, for instance, could run on alcohol, gas, or both but this was not the case after top oil companies influenced manufacturers into using gasoline.
Below are the two types of fuel alcohol:
 - Ethanol
 - Methanol
To build your vehicle engine to run on alcohol fuel, ethanol alcohol is the best option. Ethanol is made by fermenting sugars from organic sugar materials, including rice, corn, wheat, and sugarcane.
Methanol, on the other hand, can be distilled from wood and is commonly used in Indy-type race vehicles. It can also be sourced from petroleum but is toxic and can result in ingestion. Although methanol can power your car engine, it produces less energy than ethanol.
Can You Distil Alcohol Fuel at Home?
Yes, you can distill alcohol fuel from home, and is perfectly legal. You can distill alcohol as low as 40¢ per gallon according to your still size, grain cost, and fuel you use for powering it. So, how do you make distilled alcohol? You may check Instructables' guide for creating distilled oil.
Alternatively, you can buy alcohol from most wholesale chemical supply companies. Alcohol you buy from a supplier is denatured, and this means that the manufacturer meets the government-approved standard make the alcohol unfit for consumption. Denatured alcohol should be treated like gasoline because it is poisonous and not fit for human consumption as food.
You would have to refer to the supplier to know the price but you can budget $1,000 (this price is stipulated and subject to change) for a 55-gallon drum of 200-proof ethanol. It is economical to purchase in bulk and save money. Most suppliers sell differently, so you want to compare the prices from various companies to save more money.
How to Modify Your Car to Run on Alcohol Fuel
For a start, you want to try this out on a vintage car. It also works on boats, lawnmowers, farm implements, emergency generators, and motorcycles. You can also buy a cheap car from Craigslist to test the project before extending it to your primary vehicle.
 1. Prepare your vehicle and conversion materials
Decide what car to use for this conversion. Of course, it must be a car that runs on gasoline. It should be your rickety but functional car.
If you have none, you can invest a few hundred dollars to get it online. You need an old car that barely runs or that you rarely use. Make sure not to use a vehicle you would need for transportation because the adverse effect of alcohol on the vehicle can stop it from running. Besides, you are not using gasohol here but alcohol which is far different from the gasoline your car is designed for.
The tools you basically need include the following:
 - Carburetor
 - Overhaul kit for carburetor
 - T valve
 - Manual choke kit
 - Fuel hose
 - Barb fittings (about 3) for fuel hose
 - Teflon tape
 - Sizeable gallon tank
 - Spark plugs
 1. Modify the fuel line
We assume that you have decided whether to make this fuel to alcohol conversion permanent or be able to use gasoline when it is readily available.
If you are converting your car to run on alcohol permanently, you have to modify the gas tank to alcohol. In this case, you will dry out and replace the gasoline with alcohol. You do not need a mixture of gas and alcohol. The reason is that both materials will not mix unless you completely get rid of water in the alcohol.
If you want the car to run on gasoline, then you want to install a dual-fuel system.
In this tutorial, we make the alcohol tank from a 5-gallon heavy-walled Nalgene plastic container. You can also use a metal container if you have any around. The size of the container depends on your car and what you want and you can mount it on the vehicle roof or trunk. Regardless of what you use for your alcohol tank, you need something sturdy, clean, and leakproof.
 1. Install a pickup tube for the fuel tank
You need to mount a pickup tube with a similar outside diameter as the existing fuel lines. You can measure the tube at about 1/16" from the bottom of your tank make it protrude at about 1" from the top. You will also need a vent tube for air to replace the liquid whenever it is consumed so that the tank does not collapse. Create a hole on the tank sizeable for the vent and fuel lines epoxy. You can also braze your pickup tube in place to the pipe plug depending on what material you use.
Install the tank. Place the tank where you want it in the car. Ensure to strap or fasten it securely to prevent the tank from overturning. You can weigh it in-between your back seats or anything to stop it from shaking. After mounting the tank, you want to make sure you can connect it to the existing fuel line. You can use a T-shaped valve, either the manual or electric valve with 2-3 inlets, depending on what you want.
 - Compatible with Luxe Neo Bidets (Neo 110, Neo 120, Neo 180, Neo 185, Neo 250, Neo 320) and Vi-110
 - Shut-off Valve gives ability to turn off or reduce/adjust the water pressure coming into the bidet
 - Ideal for households with children (bidet can be "locked" so it cannot be turned on by accident)
 - Size of 7/8" x 7/8" x 1/2" (The 7/8" ballcock thread is same as 15/16"-14UNS). Replaces the cold water t-adapter that comes with Luxe Bidet
 - Strong metal and ceramic valve with beautiful Chrome finish, for smooth and reliable operation
Mount the valve. You need to mount the valve somewhere practical. It can be on the inner fender or floorboard to keep the handle operational inside the car. In this case, you do not have to raise the hood whenever you have to switch from one fuel to another.
To reroute your fuel lines, you can use a fuel hose. Ensure to connect the hose to the T-shaped valve. You can use standard barb fittings and then apply Teflon tape on the threaded connections to prevent leaks. To install the T valve and change the fuel lines, mount the T valve wherever you prefer. You may have to install the barb fittings. Now, do the following:
 - Use the fuel hose to connect the alcohol to one of the T valve inlets.
 - On the inlet side of the fuel pump, remove the hose between the pump and the metal fuel line from the gas tank.
 - Using the fuel hose, connect the metal fuel line to the remaining T valve inlet.
 - Using a third length of fuel hose, connect the "T" valve outlet to the inlet side of the fuel pump.
You want to be sure that the lines are leakproof and secured without any moving component obstructing them. You can now switch between your fuel (gasoline and alcohol) system by flicking your valve.
 1. Disassemble your carburetor
The carburetor is the heart of your engine that feeds the appropriate air and fuel to the cylinders. We have the one-, two- and four-barrel carburetors. Note that every carburetor operates in the same way. Alcohol will burn efficiently with about a 9/1 ratio. What you want to do now after placing the tank is to remove, modify and replace the carburetor in this ratio.

Andrew will discuss his theories on where portal locations might be found. Are these portals connected with parallel worlds or realities? Might they be used by extraterrestrial intelligences to travel from one side of the galaxy to the other? Andrew will show us that both the existence of portals, and the manner of interaction with ultra-terrestrial n-beings, are integrally bound with both human interaction and the process of quantum entanglement. Here we will see how humans can experience such localities.

Roxane is an original typeface designed by the author in response to a design analysis of visual attributes that enhance the legibility of font characteristics. The author takes issue with scientific legibility studies which focus on isolating variables to obtain verifiable results, but which are not useful in the more complex and holistic design of specific type faces. Visual analysis of type form attributes and visual principles provide the framework for this more holistic enterprise. The principles and attributes are demonstrated visually throughout the article, ending with Roxane, a type face developed with these principles in mind.Visible Language 33.3: 1999
Roxane: A Study in Visual Factors Affecting Legibility
Stuart Gluth teaches graphic design, leads the Design Research Group at the University of South Australia and is a partner in the design consultancy interDesign. The breadth of his interests is indicated by his passion for typography, which has led to a masters degree from the ANCT in Paris, following initial studies in industrial design. He is currently campaigning for Ph.D. degrees in design practice and for the acceptance of designing as researching.

Building research capacity in Education: evidence from recent initiatives in England, Scotland and Wales.
|dc.contributor.author||Fowler, Zoe Louise|
|dc.contributor.author||Davies, Susan MB|
|dc.description.abstract||There is a pressing need to build research capacity in Education across the UK to combat the effects of the ageing research population and the increasing polarisation between research-intensive institutions and the remainder of the field. This paper draws data from three evaluations of recent initiatives across the UK to explore the necessary conditions for effectively building research capacity. Technicist and situated learning models are explored in relation to the immediate and longer term professional development of the research workforce, and we identify that central to the effectiveness of this professional learning is: (1) interpersonal support from more experienced colleagues; and (2) institutional support for research engagement, primarily in the provision of time and an infrastructure which can support research activity. We conclude that the development of, and engagement with, inter-institutional, inter-project communities is imperative to this process.|

Across from the Rock for Fort St Joseph is a stone cross that stand up on a hill that overlooks the river. At the bottom of the cross is carved the word Allouez.
The stone cross marks the location where Father Jean Claude Allouez is buried after his death in 1689. Born in France in 1622, Father Allouez was ordained in 1655, and then sailed to Quebec. He travelled the area by land and canoe and established several missions in the western Great Lakes region. He was fluent in Native American languages and after the death of Father Jacques Marquette he was assigned to continue Fr. Marquette's work.
Allouez came to Fort St. Joseph where he died. His final resting place was marked with a simple wooden cross. In 1918, the Women's Progressive League marked the site with a stone cross bearing his name.

Text +hunit
module Test.HUnit.Text
HUnit Test.HUnit.Text
Text-based test controller for running HUnit tests and reporting results as text, usually to a terminal.
PutText :: (String -> Bool -> st -> IO st) -> st -> PutText st
HUnit Test.HUnit.Text
data PutText st
HUnit Test.HUnit.Text
As the general text-based test controller (runTestText) executes a test, it reports each test case start, error, and failure by constructing a string and passing it to the function embodied in a PutText. A report string is known as a "line", although it includes no line terminator; the function in a PutText is responsible for terminating lines appropriately. Besides the line, the function receives a flag indicating the intended "persistence" of the line: True indicates that the line should be part of the final overall report; False indicates that the line merely indicates progress of the test execution. Each progress line shows the current values of the cumulative test execution counts; a final, persistent line shows the final count values. The PutText function is also passed, and returns, an arbitrary state value (called st here). The initial state value is given in the PutText; the final value is returned by runTestText.
putTextToHandle :: Handle -> Bool -> PutText Int
HUnit Test.HUnit.Text
Two reporting schemes are defined here. putTextToHandle writes report lines to a given handle. putTextToShowS accumulates persistent lines for return as a whole by runTestText. putTextToHandle writes persistent lines to the given handle, following each by a newline character. In addition, if the given flag is True, it writes progress lines to the handle as well. A progress line is written with no line termination, so that it can be overwritten by the next report line. As overwriting involves writing carriage return and blank characters, its proper effect is usually only obtained on terminal devices.
putTextToShowS :: PutText ShowS
HUnit Test.HUnit.Text
Accumulates persistent lines (dropping progess lines) for return by runTestText. The accumulated lines are represented by a ShowS (String -> String) function whose first argument is the string to be appended to the accumulated report lines.
runTestText :: PutText st -> Test -> IO (Counts, st)
HUnit Test.HUnit.Text
Executes a test, processing each report line according to the given reporting scheme. The reporting scheme's state is threaded through calls to the reporting scheme's function and finally returned, along with final count values.

Cichlids: a host of opportunities for evolutionary parasitology.
Thanks to high species diversity and a broad range of speciation mechanisms, cichlid fishes represent a textbook model in evolutionary biology. They are also of substantial economic value. Despite this importance, cichlid parasites remain understudied, although some are more diverse than their hosts. They may offer important insights into cichlid evolution and the evolution of host-parasite interactions. We review five major lines of research conducted on cichlid parasites so far: the study of parasite diversity and speciation; the role of parasites in cichlid diversification; the evolutionary ecology of host specificity; historical biogeography; and biological invasions. We call for more research in these areas and suggest approaches to valorise the potential that cichlid parasites hold for the study of evolutionary parasitology.
