Working with Handle Graphics Objects
Graphics Objects
Graphics objects are the basic elements used to display graphs and user interface components. These objects are organized into a hierarchy, as shown by the following diagram.
When you call a plotting function, MATLAB® creates the graph using various graphics objects, such as a figure window, axes, lines, text, and so on. Each object has a fixed set of properties, which you can use to control the behavior and appearance of your graph.
For example, the following statement creates a figure with a white background color and does not display the figure toolbar:
Common Graphics Objects
When you call a function to create a graph, MATLAB creates a hierarchy of graphics objects. For example, calling the plot function creates the following graphics objects:
 - Figure — Window that contains axes, toolbars, menus, and so on.
 - Axes — Coordinate system that contains the lines representing the data
 - Lineseries — Lines that represent the value of data passed to the plot function.
 - Text — Labels for axes tick marks and optional titles and annotations.
Different types of graphs use different objects to represent data. All data objects are contained in axes and all objects (except root) are contained in figures.
The root is an abstract object that primarily stores information about your computer or MATLAB states. You cannot create an instance of the root object. The handle of the root object is always 0.
Object Handles
When MATLAB creates a graphics object, MATLAB assigns an identifier to the object. This identifier is called a handle. You can use this handle to access the object's properties with the set and get functions. For example, the following statements create a graph and return a handle to a lineseries object in h:
x = 1:10;
y = x.^3;
h = plot(x,y);
You can use the handle h to set the properties of the lineseries object. For example, you can set its Color property:
You can also specify the lineseries properties when you call the plotting function:
h = plot(x,y,'Color','red');
You can query the lineseries properties to see the current value:
The get function returns the answer (in units of points for LineWidth):
ans =
Finding the Properties of an Object
If you call get with only a handle, MATLAB returns a list of the object's properties:
If you call set with only a handle, MATLAB returns a list of the object's properties with information about possible values:
Setting Object Properties
All object properties have default values. However, you can change the settings of some properties to customize your graph. There are two ways to set object properties:
 - Specify values for properties when you create the object.
 - Set the property value on an object that already exists.
Setting Properties from Plotting Commands
You can specify object property value pairs as arguments to many plotting functions, such as plot, mesh, and surf.
For example, plotting commands that create lineseries or surfaceplot objects enable you to specify property name/property value pairs as arguments. The command
[x,y,z] = peaks;
plots the data in the variables x, y, and z using a surfaceplot object with interpolated face color and light gray colored edges.
Setting Properties of Existing Objects
To modify the property values of existing objects, use the set function. Plotting functions return the handles of the data objects that they create (lines, surfaces, images, and so on). For example, the following statements plot a 5-by-5 matrix (creating five lineseries objects, one per column), and then set the Marker property to square and the MarkerFaceColor property to green:
y = magic(5);
h = plot(y);
In this case, h is a vector containing five handles, one for each of the five lineseries in the graph. The set statement sets the Marker and MarkerFaceColor properties of all lineseries to the same values.
To set a property value on one object, index into the handle array:
Setting Multiple Property Values
If you want to set the properties of each lineseries to a different value, you can use cell arrays to store all the data and pass it to the set command. For example, create a plot and save the lineseries handles:
h = plot(magic(5));
Suppose you want to add different markers to each lineseries and color the marker's face color the same color as the lineseries. You need to define two cell arrays—one containing the property names and the other containing the desired values of the properties.
The prop_name cell array contains two elements:
prop_name(1) = {'Marker'};
prop_name(2) = {'MarkerFaceColor'};
The prop_values cell array contains 10 values: five values for the Marker property and five values for the MarkerFaceColor property. Notice that prop_values is a two-dimensional cell array. The first dimension indicates which handle in h the values apply to and the second dimension indicates which property the value is assigned to:
prop_values(1,1) = {'s'};
prop_values(1,2) = {get(h(1),'Color')};
prop_values(2,1) = {'d'};
prop_values(2,2) = {get(h(2),'Color')};
prop_values(3,1) = {'o'};
prop_values(3,2) = {get(h(3),'Color')};
prop_values(4,1) = {'p'};
prop_values(4,2) = {get(h(4),'Color')};
prop_values(5,1) = {'h'};
prop_values(5,2) = {get(h(5),'Color')};
The MarkerFaceColor is always assigned the value of the corresponding line's color (obtained by getting the lineseries Color property with the get function).
After defining the cell arrays, call set to specify the new property values:

Set the values of an object's properties.
Specifying Axes or Figures
MATLAB always creates an axes or figure if one does not exist when you execute a plotting command. However, when you are creating graphics from a program file, it is good practice to create and specify the parent axes and figure explicitly, particularly if others people use your program. Specifying the parent prevents the following problems:
 - Your program overwrites the graph in the current figure. A figure becomes the current figure whenever a user clicks it.
 - The current figure might be in an unexpected state and not behave as your program expects.
The following example shows a MATLAB function that evaluates a mathematical expression over the range specified in the input argument x, and then plots the results. A second call to the plot function plots the mean value of the results as a red line.
function myfunc(x)
 % Evaluate the expression using the input argument
 y = 1.5*cos(x) + 6*exp(-.1*x) + exp(.07*x).*sin(3*x);
 % Calculate the mean
 ym = mean(y);
 % Create a figure, axes parented to that axes
 % and the using the axes
 hfig = figure('Name','Function and Mean');
 hax = axes('Parent',hfig);
 % Hold the current plot and add a red line along the mean value
 hold on
 plot(hax,[min(x) max(x)],[ym ym],'Color','red')
 hold off
 % Add a tick label that shows the mean value
 % and add a title and axis labels
 ylab = get(hax,'YTick');
 set(hax,'YTick',sort([ylab ym]))
 title ('y = 1.5cos(x) + 6e^{-0.1x} + e^{0.07x}sin(3x)')
 xlabel('X Axis'); ylabel('Y Axis')
First, define a value for the input argument and call the function:
x = -10:.005:40;
Finding the Handles of Existing Objects
The findobj function enables you to obtain the handles of graphics objects by searching for objects with particular property values. With findobj you can specify the values of any combination of properties, which makes it easy to pick one object out of many. findobj also recognizes regular expressions.
For example, you might want to find the blue line with square marker having blue face color. You can also specify which figures or axes to begin searching from, if there are more than one. The following four sections provide examples illustrating how to use findobj.
Finding All Objects of a Certain Type
Because all objects have a Type property that identifies the type of object, you can find the handles of all occurrences of a particular type of object. For example,
h = findobj('Type','patch');
finds the handles of all patch objects.
Finding Objects with a Particular Property
You can specify multiple properties to narrow the search. For example,
h = findobj('Type','line','Color','r','LineStyle',':');
finds the handles of all red dotted lines.
Limiting the Scope of the Search
You can specify the starting point in the object hierarchy by passing the handle of the starting figure or axes as the first argument. For example,
h


Visual representation of the *emergency* colormap. Statistics of the *emergency* colormap.
The emergency colormap is a visual representation of the emergency warning lights on emergency vehicles in many countries. Unlike many other diverging colormaps, emergency is a cyclic colormap, covering the full lightness range and using the colors red and blue. Because emergency is a cyclic colormap that is CVD-friendly, it is the main colormap to use for plots with cyclic or periodic information.

RAINCATCHER is very effective at planting trees and shrubs because it reduces the number of deaths by transplant. It accelerates the development of the roots which contributes to a faster growth of the plant and an increase of the productivity for the professionals of the activity.
RAINCATCHER is also very effective for sowing without risk of drying out in a climate that is a little too arid or for capturing morning dew in hot and humid climates. These different functions are realized by RAINCATCHER BLUE, or GREEN, or DEW.
Plantations of ornamental trees
- Dig a hole about 3 times larger than the root system of the tree,
- Mix the extracted soil with 200 to 300 g of crystals per m3 of soil homogeneously,
- Fill the hole with 10 cm of mixed soil,
- Position the tree and return the remaining soil mixed in the soil.
- Finalize the filling of the surface hole with 5 cm of unmixed soil.
It is necessary to avoid putting RAINCATCHER without mixing it under the roots because these, once the product hydrated, will be disturbed by a single focus of humidity.
It is noted that 200 g / m3 of RAINCATCHER crystals, after a normal watering during the first 15 days, will expand until reaching a gel volume of 60 liters which may cause a slight bending of the soil surface . The settlement will then occur naturally according to irrigations which can be reduced by half after the plantation is ensured.
Fruit tree plantations
Fruit trees are often smaller and sometimes more sensitive than ornamental trees that are mostly adapted to the area where they are planted.
Also, we recommend a second method that ensures the taking of the graft with a success rate of 98-99%.
Before planting the fruit tree, the roots should be immersed in a gel solution with a ratio of 5 to 7g per liter of water (the gel will not be saturated).
The gel will act to envelop the roots and adhere to it because its unsaturated state will give it a fat structure. Thus, during planting, the young tree will be in closer contact with the soil and will immediately have an optimal moisture reserve to resist the stress of transplantation.
When planting the tree, add 50g of RAINCATCHER crystals to the bottom of the hole homogeneously, which is the equivalent of two boxes of matches. This is in soil with at least 25% clay. In sandy soil, the dose of RAINCATCHER can be doubled.
At the end it is necessary to water abundantly then maintain a normal watering during 15 days before being able to reduce the irrigation.
Conifers need less water than their colleagues and do not like too much stagnant moisture from their roots. However, this category of trees continues to grow during the winter, which can lead to water stress in certain regions.
It is therefore advisable to proceed in a similar way to fruit trees for planting with reduced doses.
Before planting, roots should be immersed in a gel solution at a rate of 5 to 7g per liter of water to maintain close contact with the soil after planting and to ensure sufficient initial moisture reserve.
When planting, we recommend to evenly distribute 3 g at the bottom of a 15 cm hole for a small tree and 5 g at 40 cm depth for an older tree (> 5 years).
At the end, it is necessary to water abundantly during a few days so that RAINCATCHER returns in action.
Whether for the establishment of a golf course, a park or a lawn at home, RAINCATCHER gives very good results. Depending on the climate, and to optimize the germination of lawn grass, use RAINCATCHER BLUE or GREEN.
The more dry the climate and the sandy soil, the higher the doses will have to be revised.
In a standard environment, continental climate at European latitudes, we recommend proceeding as follows:
- Return the land using a tiller to remove stones and weeds,
- Spread RAINCATCHER at a rate of 20 to 100 g / m2 in a homogeneous way according to the climate,
- Return the land again to bury the RAINCATCHER between 2 and 10 cm maximum depth according to the type of soil,
- Sow the grass then pass a roll,
- Water the surface correctly for a week,
- As soon as the first herbs come out, you can slow down the watering.
RAINCATCHER will remain effective for 3 to 5 years depending on the sun and therefore the rapidity of its biodegradation by UV.
RAINCATCHER will achieve a harmonious lawn with an elegant "green carpet" thanks to a homogeneous germination and thanks to the aeration it will provide on the ground and all this with a greatly reduced watering. RAINCATCHER allows the growth of turf on all types of terrain: stony, sandy or shaded by trees.
RAINCATCHER is the essential tool for any landscape gardener or nurseryman as it allows to obtain excellent results while simplifying the work.
It can also be used in the manufacture of decorative flower beds or garden plants and also for all transplant operations.
When we create a garden, we often face the problem of watering which differs according to the plants and the lengths of their roots. This problem can be solved by adding different doses of RAINCATCHER to each plant.
For plants with shallow root systems
The RAINCATCHER crystals are mixed with the soil at a depth of 10 cm at a rate of 30 to 70 g per square meter of soil, depending on its structure (30 g for very clayey soils, 50 g for loamy soils and 70 g for sandy soils). Subsequently and for at least 15 days, water the soil thoroughly so that the effect RAINCATCHER can act.
For plants with deeper root systems (> 30 cm)
You have to dig a hole of 20 cm and apply the same doses. The roots, during their development, will naturally seek the contact of the RAINCATCHER nodules saturated with water and will be grafted to pursue together their burial.
When transplanting shrubs, RAINCATCHER crystals should be sown uniformly at the bottom of the hole provided for this purpose, the depth of which is 20% greater than the root size. We advise to place 10 to 20g per shrub depending on the nature of the soil, as explained above. At the end of the planting, water abundantly for 15 days to allow time for the water to penetrate to the crystals.
If it is observed that some shrubs or shrubs are drying out, it is possible to rehydrate the bed with RAINCATCHER a posteriori. In this case, remove a thin layer of soil around the plant with drying conditions to a depth of 5 cm. Then, it is necessary to hydrate in a crystal tray at the rate of 40g for 10 liters of water in order to create a gel. Once the gel in its solid state (for such a quantity, it can take a few hours), it must be distributed in the form of a homogeneous layer around the shrub or bush so as to complete the excavation created while leaving 2 cm on the surface. To protect the gel thus arranged from the sun's rays, it is necessary to fill the surface with a suitable mulching.
If you want your plants to benefit from RAINCATCHER after planting, it is possible to introduce our product afterwards to be able to reduce irrigation and save water or prevent drying out of a tree.
The technique consists in perforating the soil before introducing the doses of RAINCATCHER which must be calculated based on the diameter of the trunk of the tree or shrub concerned.
Generally, the perforations are made in the root zone, and more precisely on the ground trace of the diameter drawn by the envelope of the foliage. The number of holes, their depth and the doses of RAINCATCHER to be used depend on the type of tree and its size.
Our team of specialists will be able to tell you the exact doses to apply depending on the desired effect.

One Author's Perspective
nahaiGina Nahai is a best-selling author of four novels and professor of Creative Writing at the University of Southern California. Her novels have been translated into 18 languages and have been selected as "One of the Best Books of the Year" by the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune.
You are credited with being the first to write a book in English about the 3,000 year-old story of the Jewish people of Iran. How can that be? The reason I wrote my first book, Cry of the Peacock, was because I realized that nothing had been written about the history of the Jews in Iran except for one book by Dr. Habib Levy. I was told by many people that the Jews of Iran had survived the rule of the mullahs by staying under the radar: they did not want to draw any attention to themselves. There were many well known Jewish poets, philosophers and writers in Iran, but they never wrote about themselves. Now, during the time of the Shah - who was very friendly to the Jews - Dr. Habib Levy wrote a book, History of the Jews in Iran, in Farsi, and he was careful not to complain about or criticize the Muslim clergy.
How did you do your research?
There was hardly any mention of Iranian Jews in the literature, and my research was conducted before the existence of Google. Consequently, I had to rely on the Library of Congress, other libraries and databases. I don't know how many tomes and volumes of travel books I had to sift through looking for some mention of a Jewish community anywhere in Iran; and the rest was seven years of interviews for the book. Cry of the Peacock pieces together the entire history of where the Iranian Jews came from and what happened to them, especially during the last century.
What was the reaction to this book? Many people said, "I didn't know that there were Jews in Iran." And at first, bookstores didn't know in what section to put my book. Is it literature? Does it belong in the travel section? Is it Judaica? Today my books can be found in the fiction literature section.
Have your books been printed in Iran? I know at least two of them have been translated. Iran does not recognize our copyright laws so they pirate the book and whoever translates it first has the rights to the book. I have no approval rights over the translation.
Do they credit you as the writer? Yes, they do.
Are there others writing in English about the Jews of Iran now? Yes. The same time that Caspian Rain was published in 2007, Dalia Sofer wrote a book about a Jewish family in Iran called The Septembers of Shiraz.
Was her style similar to yours? What everyone calls magical realism? No, and I do not consider my books to be magical realism. To me, magical realism has a sweetness to it…a sort of happy, fairy tale nature in which terrible things don't happen. My books have more realism than magic. Things happen of a magical nature, but overall there is a heaviness to my stories, a harsh reality. When Garcia Marquez, the pioneer of magical realism, won the Nobel Prize for Literature, in his acceptance speech he said that what the West calls magical realism is in fact the reality of places like South America and Asia where they have a longer and more bitter history. The point being that even the author credited with inventing magical realism doesn't think of his work as magical realism. So I've accepted this magical realism title, but I really just write about reality.
What is your process? I begin with a question. The preoccupation with the answer is the seed for the book. Then I create the characters. Once I have characters, I try to come up with a story. I go through several versions until I find it. Once I get going, I hear the voices of the characters and transcribe their voices. By the way, all of my characters are based on real people. I was once at a book signing, reading from one of my books, when I looked up and saw a mother and daughter in the front row crying. When I asked them why they were crying they told me that they were the characters in my book. And, it turns out that they were.
How did you become a writer? While I was in law school at USC, I was considering taking a leave of absence. One day on campus I passed a trailer, and I don't know what made me go inside, but I did. They were beginning a new creative writing class and I signed up. The first thing I wrote about was my maternal grandmother. My husband and others gave me so much encouragement that I kept on writing and never returned to law school.
What traits are required to be a writer? You must be persistent and have faith that you will finish the book, that someone will be interested and that what you are doing is worthwhile. You must believe there is a purpose to what you are writing.
What book do you hesitate to write? I am actually writing the book now that I have hesitated to write for the past ten years. It is about the Iranian Jews in America, mainly in Los Angeles. I hesitated because I didn't think that it would be compelling. I knew that I would be very critical, but as I write it, I find that I have some criticisms, but also great admiration.
Have your children read your books? I know my daughter has read two, but I don't think my sons have. In fact, my eighteen year old son says when people tell him that they like one of my books, he is embarrassed to tell them that he hasn't read it.
I would be interested to know what are some of your favorite books? A recent book would be White Tiger by Aravind Adiga. I enjoyed Lolita, in spite of the subject matter, because of the writing. I love the southern writers - Faulkner and Tennessee Williams. There are so many books that I have loved.
What makes a book good? Beautiful language, an unknown revealed, and when you can feel the passion of the author.


. This simultaneous attack against a surprised Israel led to an amazing conflict over the course of the next several weeks that changed the state of affairs in the middle east.
At the time this was happening, Robert C. Martin ("Uncle Bob") had already been in the software business for three years. Today, he is still a practicing programmer, working with code every day, and extending his knowledge of the art and skill of modern software development.
One of Uncle Bob's largest contributions to our understanding of object oriented programming is a set of principles known as SOLID, which I'd like to share with you.
Today, I'm going to talk briefly about the Single Responsibility Principle, which is the 'S' in SOLID. This principle is very easy to remember. It simply states that any class that you write should only have one reason to change. We frequently change our classes after we write them, because the customer changes directions on us, or because our understanding of the technical requirements change.
Where we get into trouble is that our classes have too many things in them. Changing one thing causes a change to something else. Changing one thing requires us to re-test something else. Changing one thing requires us to change things somewhere else. We create extra work for ourselves. We create extra bugs for ourselves.
The Single Responsibility Priniciple is a discipline which can keep us from creating extra, unnecessary work for ourselves. By writing our code more simply, in smaller chunks, we can insure that WHEN change comes, it affects the smallest amount of code possible.
Uncle Bob's book chapter on the Single Responsibility Principle provides a deeper view into the subject.

BM) studies have demonstrated that grey matter abnormalities are involved in the pathophysiology of late-life depression (LLD), but the findings are inconsistent and have not been quantitatively reviewed. The aim of the present study was to conduct a meta-analysis that integrated the reported VBM studies, to determine consistent grey matter alterations in individuals with LLD. A systematic search was conducted to identify VBM studies that compared patients with LLD and healthy controls. We performed a meta-analysis using the effect size signed differential mapping method to quantitatively estimate regional grey matter abnormalities in patients with LLD. We included 9 studies with 11 data sets comprising 292 patients with LLD and 278 healthy controls in our meta-analysis. The pooled and subgroup meta-analyses showed robust grey matter reductions in the right lentiform nucleus extending into the parahippocampus, the hippocampus and the amygdala, the bilateral medial frontal gyrus and the right subcallosal gyrus as well as a grey matter increase in the right lingual gyrus. Meta-regression analyses showed that mean age and the percentage of female patients with LLD were not significantly related to grey matter changes. The analysis techniques, patient characteristics and clinical variables of the studies included were heterogeneous, and most participants were medicated. The present meta-analysis is, to our knowledge, the first to overcome previous inconsistencies in the VBM studies of LLD and provide robust evidence for grey matter alterations within fronto-striatal-limbic networks, thereby implicating them in the pathophysiology of LLD. The mean age and the percentage of female patients with LLD did not appear to have a measurable impact on grey matter changes, although we cannot rule out the contributory effects of medication.
 3. Some preliminary formulations toward a new theory of matter
 Shekhawat, V.
 1976-01-01
 Matter is pictured as a primitive fluid substratum having the fundamental property of fluctuating at a constant frequency. From this are derived the discrete properties of space and time, and it follows that, at the microlevel, talk of pure space and pure time involves ambiguities. A new interpretation of Planck's constant emerges according to which it is a quantum of matter-time combination. Thus, a quantum of matter-space combination should exist. On pursuing further the hydrodynamic model, such a constant is in fact discovered as the drag-quantum of the quantum fluid. A fourth-degree differential equation is considered which, with the help of this new constant, generates spectra of frequency, mass, and fine structure constants. The theory seems to answer some important fundamental questions
 4. Partial differential equations & boundary value problems with Maple
 Articolo, George A
 2009-01-01
 Partial Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems with Maple presents all of the material normally covered in a standard course on partial differential equations, while focusing on the natural union between this material and the powerful computational software, Maple.

 5. Skew differential fields, differential and difference equations
 van der Put, M
 2004-01-01
 The central question is: Let a differential or difference equation over a field K be isomorphic to all its Galois twists w.r.t. the group Gal(K/k). Does the equation descend to k? For a number of categories of equations an answer is given.

 The purpose of this study was to address the feasibility of characterizing the contrast both between and within grey matter and white matter using the phase difference enhanced (PADRE) technique. PADRE imaging was performed in 33 healthy volunteers. Vessel enhancement (VE), tissue enhancement (TE), and PADRE images were reconstructed from source images and were evaluated with regard to differentiation of grey-to-white matter interface, the stria of Gennari, and the two layers, internal sagittal stratum (ISS) and external sagittal stratum (ESS), of optic radiation. White matter regions showed decreased signal intensity compared to grey matter regions. Discrimination was sharper between white matter and cortical grey matter in TE images than in PADRE images, but was poorly displayed in VE images. The stria of Gennari was observed on all three image sets. Low-signal-intensity bands displayed in VE images representing the optic radiation were delineated as two layers of different signal intensities in TE and PADRE images. Statistically significant differences in phase shifts were found between frontal grey and white matter, as well as between ISS and ESS (p < 0.01). The PADRE technique is capable of identifying grey-to-white matter interface, the stria of Gennari, and ISS and ESS, with improved contrast in PADRE and TE images compared to VE images. (orig.)

text: Two Indian wheat cultivars viz. C-306 and RAJ-3765 were used for gluten extraction and developed gluten based edible film. The wet and dry gluten yield of C-306 cultivar was significantly higher than that of RAJ-3765. Five glycerol concentrations viz. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 g were tried for film formation and developed films were then compared. Film thickness was independent on glycerol concentration. Tensile strength decreased and % elongation at break increased with an increase in glycerol concentration. Film prepared from C-306 cultivar required higher force than RAJ-3765 for puncture test. As the concentration of glycerol increased the puncture strength decreased. Water vapor transmission rate increased with increase in concentration of glycerol. Water vapor transmission rate, solubility in water (22.7 to 100%) and HCL (42 to 61%) were lower in C-306 than RAJ-3765 edible film. Results clearly showed that quality of gluten significantly affect the film forming properties. © All Rights Reserved.

Growing Success Glue Band Trap
- Protect your top fruit
- Suitable for organic gardeners
- Effective on fruit trees and ornamental trees
Save your home-grown apples, pears and plums by trapping the moths that produce maggoty fruit and ruin your well-earned crops.
Pesticide-free this form of trapping is effective and ideal for the organic grower and gardener. This green band is beyond the colour range visible to beneficial insects so beneficial bees and other insects like lacewings and hoverflies are safe from harm.
Winter moths lay their eggs during the colder months by climbing up tree trunks to lay eggs. The eggs then hatch and give you unwanted maggoty fruit. With this adhesive sticky band you stop the wingless moths from laying eggs where the maggots can get to fruit. Stopping them in their tracks saves your fruit year after year.
We suggest you apply in early autumn and remove in spring when the female moths are no longer active. Span the band right around the circumference of your tree at 50-80cm (20-32in) above ground level. Be sure to apply a band to your stake too if the stake meets the tree above the tree band so the moths have no alternative than to meet the sticky trap.
Every band is very sticky so wear gloves and wash your hands afterwards thoroughly.See Full Description +

What is Taking Action?
CCIS believes that the adoption of invasive species prevention best practices that encourages the public to get involved, change their behaviours, and start taking action will result in the reduction of introduction and spread of invasive species. This approach is based on the principles and theory of Community Based Social Marketing (CBSM), which is described as:
"Initiatives delivered at the community level that focus on removing barriers to an activity while simultaneously enhancing the activities' benefits."
— Doug McKenzie-Mohr, Ph. D. from "Quick Reference: Community-Based Social Marketing"
See Take Action Programs for Canada for more details/case studies on specific national programs being developed based on the principles of Community Based Social Marketing. Read more below about the principles and theory behind CBSM, and key components to an effective CBSM plan:
Community Based Social Marketing – Principles and Theory
Traditional marketing often is focused at creating awareness. Many of the measures of traditional marketing success are awareness measurement analytics – examples include: number of promotion pieces distributed, number of people to an event, number of subscribers to a magazine a particular advertisement has been placed in, etc. Unfortunately, there is not a direct correlation between awareness and having people actually moving to the next step of the desired action.
A classic example of this lack of correlation between awareness and taking action can be found examining blood donation in Canada. The Canadian Blood Services survey data has determined that: 97% of people are aware of blood donation; additionally they also understand and agree that donating giving blood is critically important. However, on average, only 3% of people in Canada actually donate blood. This is the challenge between creating awareness verses motivating people into changing their behaviour so they start taking action.
Key Definitions associated with CBSM:
- Social Marketing - Social marketing is the systematic application of marketing, along with other concepts and techniques, to achieve specific behavioral goals for a social good. Social marketing can be applied to promote merit goods, or to make a society avoid demerit goods and thus to promote society's well-being as a whole. For example, this may include asking people not to smoke in public areas, asking them to use seat belts, or prompting to make them follow speed limits or to stop behaviors that are spreading invasive species (Source: Wikipedia).
- Branding - Branding is critical component of creating a common consistent recognizable and repeatable message and is an important part in developing and delivering effective programs. A brand is the idea or image of a specific product or program that the target audience (consumers) connect with, by identifying the name, logo, slogan or design of the organization who owns the idea or image. Brand recognition also builds organization reputation and sets a standard to which the organization should strive to maintain or surpass. CCIS recognizes the importance and value of having commonly recognized aligned brands and programs across Canada. Across Canada, Council's members will work to build common national education and awareness approaches to help improve consistent messaging and effective programs. Over time, the goal is to have a rich range of resources that are used across Canada with key target audiences.
- Measurement methodology - for measuring changes for target audiences - Measurement of behaviour change is important for determining effectiveness of programs. Surveys have been used successfully in the past to measure changes in awareness and in targeted behaviours by comparing baseline pre-program data to data after the program has been implemented. Positive behaviour change has shown to be successfully achieved after implementation of the Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers program in the US. This was one of the first invasive species programs developed specifically using CBSM principles.
7 Key Components to an Effective Community Based Social Marketing Plan:
- Identify a mandate – mission statement. Why are you doing this?
- Research – get some background on your project.
- Survey - Next, survey your audience.
- Pilot the Project - try it out – smaller scale means less expense before you go for full deployment.
- Build - you know what you want to build – what tools do you need to do it?
f. Remove Barriers/obstacles
- Deploy Social media vehicles with traditional vehicles:
a. Wired and non-wired. E-banners, bulletins, newsletters, Facebook, Twitter, Yammer, Wiki's, Blogs.....non wired – guerrilla tactics, door to door, in the malls focus testing
b. Focus group test again – control group receives no prompts/intervention while the other group receives the social prompts. Randomly assign households/individuals to either group.
- Measure, measure, measure
Note: Full deployment is ready once focus groups have effectively changed their behaviour. Failure to identify barriers and benefits will often result in a program that either has a diminished impact or no impact at all (Doug McKenzie-Mohr)
CCIS has developed an Action Plan that identifies key priorities for managing invasive species in Canada through changing behaviour, including national education and awareness goals and objectives.
National invasive species management programs and initiatives are based on key pathways for the introduction and spread invasive species across Canada.
Across Canada, many of the programs that have been implemented in the past several years have been based on using the principles of Community Based Social Marketing (CBSM) and targeted at changing specific behaviours of individuals.


What is a nursing case study?
Open Posted By: surajrudrajnv33 Date: 13/01/2021 Graduate Dissertation & Thesis Writing
A nursing case study is an in-depth study of a patient that is encountered during the student's daily practice in a practicum. They are important learning experiences because the student can apply classroom/theoretical learning to an actual situation and perhaps make some conclusions and recommendations.
Case Study, Critical Thinking, Ethical Decision Making, and the Nursing Process
1. Mrs. Elle, 80 years of age, is a female patient who is diagnosed with end-stage cancer of the small intestine. She is currently receiving comfort measures only in hospice. She has gangrene of her right foot and has a history of diabetes controlled with oral agents. She is confused and the physician has determined that she is unable to make her own informed decisions. The hospice nurse, not realizing that the weekly order for CBC and renal profile had been discontinued, obtained the labs and sent them to the nearby laboratory for processing. The abnormal lab results obtained later that day revealed that the patient needed a blood transfusion. The hospice nurse updated the patient's medical power of attorney who was distressed at the report. The patient's wishes were to die peacefully and to not have to undergo an amputation of her right foot. But if the patient receives the blood transfusion, she may live long enough to need the amputation. The patient's physician had previously informed the medical power of attorney that the patient would most likely not be able to survive the amputation. The patient's medical power of attorney had made the request to cease all labs so that the patient would receive comfort measures until she died. The patient has no complaint of shortness of breath or discomfort. (Learning Objective 4)
a. What ethical dilemma exists?
b. Who are the stakeholders and what gains or losses do each have?
c. What strategies should the hospice nurse take to resolve the ethical dilemma?

One of the most visited castles in Georgia is Ananuri Fortress – the fortress of the Aragvi Eristavs, located on the Zhinvali reservoir of the Aragvi river.
It is a tourist magnet thanks to several facts:
- Firstly, fantastic landscapes open up here: at the same time, a huge lake among the mountains, a castle of the late Middle Ages, and an old church with a tiled roof.
- Secondly, there are two churches of the seventeenth centuryin Ananuri. There are only 3-4 of them in all of Georgia.
- Thirdly, the fortress is conveniently located – just 70 kilometers from Tbilisi on the Georgian Military Road.
- Finally, the Zhinavli reservoir is characterized by clear water, in which you can swim with a beautiful view to the fortress.
Despite the fact that there are a lot of attractions in Ananuri, they are all located on a very small area inside the fortress walls of the bastion.
As a result, you can visit them literally in one and a half to two hours, taking into account swimming in the Zhinvali reservoir. If you don't plan to swim, you can plan with 40 minutes to visit Ananuri. During this time, you will visit the Assumption Church of the 17th century, the ancient tower of the 13th century next to it and go up to the very top to take spectacular photos and selfies.
The place on which Ananuri Castle is built is strategically extremely important, because on the one hand there is a reservoir, and on the other a mountain.
That is why the first ensemble tower was built here to protect the city of Dusheti, which was the residence of the Georgian mountain princes Eristov-Aragvi, from invaders coming from the Daryal Gorge. Subsequently, the building grew and turned into a full-fledged fortress, which, in the event of an enemy attack, served as a reliable fortification and cover for the retreat of local residents to the mountains.
Ananuri fortress was proposed by the Georgian government for inclusion into the UNESCO World Heritage List

|Configuring Geronimo Eclipse Plugin to publish POJO projects as Shared Libraries||Configuring your development environment|
This tutorial will demonstrate the usage of Eclipse XML tools to generated Geronimo specific deployment plans.
We DO encourage users to leverage GEP for schema validation, because GEP has already integrated these schema files in its distribution package. The steps described in this article are only for your reference.
You might be experiencing certain XML validation problems when using Geronimo Deployment Plan Editor in Eclipse v3.5(Galileo), it's a known defect of the Xerces feature in WTP. Try the following workaround in Eclipse v3.5 to avoid the problem:
- In the toolbar, select Windows->Preferences
- Expand XML section, and then select XML Files->Validation
- Uncheck the Honour all the XML schema locations option, and then save all the changes.
To run this tutorial, as a minimum you will be required to have installed the following prerequisite software.
- Sun JDK 5.0+ (J2SE 1.5)
- Eclipse 3.4.1 (Eclipse Ganymede SR1 distribution)
- Apache Geronimo v2.2
Details on installing eclipse are provided in the Development environment section. This tutorial is organized in the following sections:
Configuring Eclipse for geronimo schema
- Geronimo schema files can be found in /schema. Copy all these schema files to a folder say geronimoschema. Content of these files might be different by release.
- Add the following XML catalog file to this folder and zip it. This will give you a

- On the next screen select General->Project. Select Next.
- Name the project as geronimoschema and Select Finish.
- Under Project explorer right click on geronimoschema project and select Import. Then select General->Archive File. Select Next.
- On the next screen Browse to
geronimoschema.zipcreated in step #2. Once done select Finish.
- Under the geronimoschema project you can see all the schema definitions.
- Next select Window->Preferences from Eclipse menu.
- On the next window select XML->XML Catalog. Select User Specified Entries and click Add.
- On the next window click the icon beside Location and select workspace.
- Select GeronimoSchema.xmlcatalog. Select OK.
- Specify the key, for example, geronimoschema.
- On the next screen you can see geronimoschema listed.
Using the configuration in application development
- For the next steps we will consider the Stateless Session Bean project.
- Consider the Few More Configurations section in the above tutorial where you have to add a dependency element for database pool.
- In StatelessSessionEJB select ejbModule->META-INF->openejb-jar.xml. Right click and select Open With->XML Editor.
- Once you have the openejb-jar.xml select Design tab.
- You can edit the fields by double clicking against each fields.
- Once done open the source tab you can see the dependency element added to openejb-jar.xml.
This completes the illustration of using Eclipse xml tools for Apache Geronimo.


Top 10 cult groups in Nigerian Universities, their Motto and Symbols – #1 and #2 are are the deadliest
Top 10 cult groups in Nigerian Universities: Why are cults so popular among the youths nowadays? What are the main types of cultism in Nigeria and what symbols do they have? Let's look through the essence of each of them! It is possible that lot of people don't even know that there is a list of cults in Nigeria, which usually thrive at universities and even outside of campus. The main reasons of why some people become members of such movements are the lust for the power, riches, and prestigious status in the society.
What is cultism?
According to the Oxford Dictionary, cultism can be described as a religious or social group whose beliefs are secret, individualistic, and esoteric. Actually, cultism involves carrying out some ritualistic practices. Usually, cultists share some common objectives and ideas. So, they are unknown to the society and also, some cult leaders' true intentions are unknown even to the members of the particular cult. So, let's summarize the main characteristics of cultism:
1) it is a spiritual or religious practice;
2) it is a secret practice;
3) it is practiced by a group of individuals;
4) its policies are unknown to the general public;
5) it has an impact on the lives of the individuals;
6) it's people have a common value.
The first cultism movement in Nigeria was called "Pyrates". It was founded in 1952 by Nobel Prize winning author Wole Soyinka and his friends. Later they were called "Sea Dogs". After some time, another kind of community was created. These are what we known today as "secret cults".
Types of cultism in Nigeria and their symbols
So, let's look through the main types of cultism in Nigeria and their symbols. Some Nigerian confraternities do not hide their symbols, while others keep them in secret and only members of that cult know what they are.
1) Pyrate Confraternity "The National Associations of Sea Dogs"
As we have already mentioned, it is controversially the first "secret cult" in the Nigerian University System. Its two main symbols are a skull, two cross-bones and an anchor. The cult's purposes are: "against expiring convention, tribalism, for humanistic ideas and partnership and knighthood."But their hay days soon ended when the Buccaneers branched out from them.

it. A typical
situation is applying selected bug fixes from the development version
of a program to a release branch. The cherry-picked changes will not
be committed automatically; you need to do that explicitly.
Typing _USER_{A} will cherry-pick the current commit and will also
commit the changes automatically when there have not been any
Typing _USER_{v} will revert the current commit. Thus, it will apply
the changes made by that commit in reverse. This is obviously useful
to cleanly undo changes that turned out to be wrong. As with _USER_{a},
you need to commit the changes explicitly.
Typing _USER_{C-w} will copy the sha1 of the current commit into the
kill ring.
Typing _USER_{=} will show the differences from the current commit to
the _USER_{marked} commit.
You can mark the current commit by typing _USER_{.}. When the current
commit is already marked, typing _USER_{.} will unmark it. To unmark
the marked commit no matter where point is, use _USER_{C-u.}.
Some commands, such as _USER_{=}, will use the current commit and the
marked commit as implicit arguments. Other commands will offer the
marked commit as a default when prompting for their arguments.
_USER_ Reflogs
_USER_ Reflogs
You can use _USER_{l h} and _USER_{l H} to browse your _USER_{reflog}, the
local history of changes made to your repository heads. Typing
_USER_{H} will ask for a head, while _USER_{l h} will show the reflog of
The resulting buffer is just like the buffer produced by _USER_{l l} and
_USER_{l L} that shows the commit history.
_USER_ Commit Buffer
_USER_ Commit Buffer
When you view a commit (perhaps by selecting it in the log buffer,
_USER_{History}), the ''commit buffer'' is displayed, showing you
information about the commit and letting you interact with it.
By placing your cursor within the diff or hunk and typing _USER_{a}, you
can apply the same patch to your working copy. This is useful when
you want to copy a change from another branch, but don't necessarily
want to cherry-pick the whole commit.
By typing _USER_{v} you can apply the patch in reverse, removing all the
lines that were added and adding all the lines that were removed.
This is a convenient way to remove a change after determining that it
introduced a bug.
If the commit message refers to any other commits in the repository by
their unique hash, the hash will be highlighted and you will be able
to visit the referenced commit either by clicking on it or by moving
your cursor onto it and pressing _USER_{RET}.
The commit buffer maintains a history of the commits it has shown.
After visiting a referenced commit you can type _USER_{C-c C-b} to get
back to where you came from. To go forward in the history, type
_USER_{C-c C-f}. There are also _USER_{[back]} and _USER_{[forward]}
buttons at the bottom of the buffer.
_USER_ Diffing
_USER_ Diffing
Magit typically shows diffs in the ''unified'' format.
In any buffer that shows a diff, you can type _USER_{e} anywhere within
the diff to show the two versions of the file in Ediff. If the diff
is of a file in the status buffer that needs to be merged, you will be
able to use Ediff as an interactive merge tool. Otherwise, Ediff will
simply show the two versions of the file.
To show the changes from your working tree to another revision, type
_USER_{d}. To show the changes between two arbitrary revisions, type
You can use _USER_{a} within the diff output to apply the changes to
your working tree. As usual when point is in a diff header for a
file, all changes for that file are applied, and when it is in a hunk,
only that hunk is. When the region is active, the applied changes are
restricted to that region.
Typing _USER_{v} will apply the selected changes in reverse.
_USER_ Tagging
_USER_ Tagging
Typing _USER_{t t} will make a lighweight tag. Typing _USER_{t a} will
make an annotated tag. It will put you in the normal
_USER_{*magit-log-edit} buffer for writing commit messages, but typing
_USER_{C-c C-c} in it will make the tag instead. This is controlled by
the _USER_{Tag} field that will be added to the _USER_{*magit-log-edit*}
buffer. You can edit it, if you like.
_USER_ Resetting
_USER_ Resetting
Once you have added a commit to your local repository, you can not
change that commit anymore in any way. But you can reset your current
head to an earlier commit and start over.
If you have published your history already, rewriting it in this way
can be confusing and should be avoided. However, rewriting your local
history is fine and it is often cleaner to fix mistakes this way than
by reverting commits (with _USER_{v}, for example).
Typing _USER_{x} will ask for a revision and reset your current head to
it. No changes will be made to your working tree and staging area.
Thus, the _USER_{Staged changes} section in the status buffer will show
the changes that you have removed from your commit history. You can
commit the changes again as if you had just made them, thus rewriting
Typing _USER_{x} while point is in a line that describes a commit will
offer this commit as the default revision to reset to. Thus, you can
move point to one of the commits in the _USER_{Unpushed commits}
section and hit _USER_{x RET} to reset your current head to it.
Type _USER_{X} to reset your working tree and staging area to the most
recently committed state. This will discard your local modifications,
so be careful.
You can give a prefix to _USER_{x} if you want to reset both the current
head and your working tree to a given commit. This is the same as
first using an unprefixed _USER_{x} to reset only the head, and then
using _USER_{X}.
_USER_ Stashing
_USER_ Stashing
You can create a new stash with _USER_{z z}. Your stashes will be listed
in the status buffer, and you can apply them with _USER_{a} and pop them
with _USER_{A}. To drop a stash, use _USER_{k}.
With a prefix argument, both _USER_{a} and _USER_{A} will attempt to
reinstate the index as well as the working tree from the stash.
Typing _USER_{z -k z} will create a stash just like _USER_{z z}, but will
leave the changes in your working tree and index. This makes it easier
to, for example, test multiple variations of the same change.
If you just want to make quick snapshots in between edits, you can use
_USER_{z s}, which automatically enters a timestamp as description, and
keeps your working tree and index intact by default.
You can visit and show stashes in the usual way: Typing _USER_{SPC} and
_USER_{DEL} will pop up a buffer with the description of the stash and
scroll it, typing _USER_{RET} will move point into that buffer. Using
_USER_{C-u RET} will move point into that buffer in other window.
_USER_ Branching
_USER_ Branching
The current branch is indicated in the header of the status buffer.
You can switch to a different branch by typing _USER_{b b}. This will
immediately checkout the branch into your working copy, so you
shouldn't have any local modifications when switching branches.
If you try to switch to a remote branch, Magit will offer to create a
local tracking branch for it instead. This way, you can easily start
working on new branches that have appeared in a remote repository.
Typing _USER_{b b} while point is at a commit description will offer
that commit as the default to switch to. This will result in a
detached head.
Typing _USER_{b m} will let you rename a branch. Unless a branch with the same
name already exists, obviously...
To create a new branch and switch to it immediately, type _USER_{b n}.
To delete a branch, type _USER_{b d}. If you're currently on that
branch, Magit will offer to switch to the'master' branch.
Deleting a branch is only possible if it's already fully merged into
HEAD or its upstream branch. Unless you type _USER_{b D}, that is.
Here be dragons...
Typing _USER_{b v} will list the local and remote branches in a new buffer
called _USER_{*magit-branches*} from which you can work with them. See
_USER_{The Branch Manager} for more details.
_USER_ The Branch Manager
_USER_ The Branch Manager
The Branch Manager is a separate buffer called _USER_{*magit-branches*}
with its own local key map. The buffer contains both local and remote
branches. The current

Part I examines the history of sealed adoption records in the United States and in California and how the social forces of the time contributed to the sealing of previously open records. Part II discusses the need for legislative reform by examining policy arguments supporting open records. Part III examines constitutional rights of privacy under the United States and California Constitutions respecting both birthparents and adoptees. Part IV argues that the California legislature should declare privacy rights in sealed adoption records for both adoptees and birthparents. Part V analyzes AB 1349 and concludes that in both versions the privacy rights of birthmothers who do not desire disclosure are not adequately protected by the inclusion of a contact preference option. In addition, the failure of the amended bill to allow access to the court adoption files ensures that the informational privacy rights of both birthparents and adoptees in these records will continue to go unrecognized and unprotected. Finally, Part VI recommends statutory changes in the California adoption records law that will sufficiently protect the competing privacy rights of adoptees and birthparents. To rectify the current situation, there should be a presumption of openness in all adoption records, as well as a shift in the burden of persuasion to show why the records should not be opened.

The African Regional Organisation of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC-Africa) has commended the recent decision by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to lift, with immediate effect, a large part of the sanctions imposed on Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, and Guinea on account of military takeover of power.
The West African regional bloc last Saturday announced it is lifting most sanctions imposed on Niger over last year's coup, in a new push for dialogue following a series of political crises that have rocked the region in recent months.
In a statement on Tuesday by Akhator Joel Odigie the ITUC-AFRICA General Secretary, the organisation representing the interest of African workers, said with the lifting of sanctions on these countries, there is the need for intensification of diplomatic efforts and negotiations to address the underlying governance issues that contribute to the military takeover in the region.
"ECOWAS should actively facilitate, through diplomatic means, the restoration of democratic principles and the rule of law in the affected countries. This process should involve legitimate and procedures and inclusive consultations with all critical stakeholders such as workers and their trade union organisations, in alignment with the sub-regional bodies' standards," Odigie noted in his statement from the Lomé headquarters of the organisation.
He said for workers, businesses, economic sectors and people who have suffered from the effects of the sanctions, ECOWAS should seek and deploy bilateral and multilateral cooperation and assistance mechanisms to aid and speed up recovery.
The ITUC-Africa scribe, however, said the organisation is nevertheless deeply concerned about the prospective withdrawal of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso from ECOWAS, recognising the potential adverse effects on regional unity, socioeconomic development, and the overall wellbeing of citizens.
He said, "Recognising the significance of the unity of ECOWAS and, by extension, Africa's unity for the continent's integration and development, prosperity, and global relevance, ITUC-Africa wish to underscore the critical need for the concerned member states to reconsider their withdrawal. We advocate for a constructive dialogue within the 12-month deadline outlined in the ECOWAS treaty to resolve this impasse.
"Importantly, we urge ECOWAS to urgently reassess its efficiency, liberate itself from external influences, and prioritise the welfare of West Africa's and Africa's populace. It is critical that the organisation fundamentally fit into the logic of its 2020 vision of moving from the ECOWAS of States to the ECOWAS of the people.
"As African workers, we reiterate our conviction and preference for a people-driven, people-centred, and people-minded democracy that should be "the only game in town".
"Democracy must serve the people by guaranteeing their welfare and well-being. Also, we reaffirm that for real and enabling democracy to be achieved and thrive, strong institutions must be built, and the sanctity of the rule of the rule of law must be vigilantly and eternally upheld. As organised workers, we reiterate our commitment to contributing to attaining these ideals."
He said African workers will actively prosecute the Global Campaign for Democracy that the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) will launch on the 4th of March 2024.
He urged ECOWAS to find the courage and political will to discourage constitutional manipulation and manoeuvring, especially by civilian actors, saying it is one of the actions diminishing trust and confidence in national democratic projects and processes.
"ITUC-Africa calls upon all stakeholders to prioritise dialogue, diplomacy, unity, cooperation, collaboration, and solidarity to overcome the current impasse while steadfastly upholding democracy, human rights, and regional integration in the ECOWAS region," he said.

There is no software required to configure the GSM modem. The modem must be set up using an Ethernet connection to a PC.
Figure 5-9 GSM/CDMA Modem
An Account must be set up with a local GSM cellular service carrier. To activate the modem, you will require an IP Address supplied by the service carrier to be assigned to the modem. They will also provide you with an activated SIM card.
The following are the steps required to set up the GSM modem:
- Attach the antenna to the modem.
- Insert your SIM card (not included) into the top (primary) spot of the modem (see illustration below).
- Connect the Ethernet Cable (null modem cable) from the modem to your PC.
- Use the STS Remote Station with your connected battery, STS Controller, and Distribution Box to connect the modem to a power supply. Turn the modem on using the Modem Control option in the STS Controller.
- After the connection has been established, you should see the message as shown in Figure 5-11 at the bottom right of your PC screen. Doulbe-click the network icon.
- If using Windows XP, in the Local Area Connection Status window, the Support tab should display the same Default Gateway and Subnet Mask, as shown in Figure 5-12. The IP Address does not have to match, but it should begin with 192.168.1.XXX (XXX is any number between 2 and 255), thus matching the Default Gateway. Close the window.
- Open your web browser and enter the IP Address "192.168.1.1" in the URL address bar. The main configuration menu of the modem will be displayed.
- Select "Mobile" under the Configuration menu.
- Make sure the Service Provider selected is correct, and the Service Plan/APN is set to "internet.com". Click on "Serial Ports" under the Configuration menu and click on the Port that is available. This should be Port 1 by default.
- In the Port Profile window, select "TCP Sockets" and click Apply.
- Make sure the Serial Port Configuration matches the screen in Figure 5-14. Enter the IP Address provided by your Internet Service Provider in the IP Address field. The TCP Port should be set to either "49152", "49200", or "49800" depending on your setup and Operating System. When finished, click Apply.
- Select Basic Serial Port Settings to set up the communication parameters. The following settings should be entered:
- Baud Rate: 115200 bits/second
- Data Bits: 8

From the definitions we can observe that there were no unanimity of views among the different writers. Those who want to enlarge the scope can be called the Macro demographic group and those who maintain narrow view can be put in the micro demography group.
Views of Spencer, Vance, Ryder,Lorimer,Moore, etc., fail within the category of macro demography. Under macro demography the writers have studied the causes of slow or rapid grow of birth rate, death rate, population growth, sex ratio and health conditions,etc.
Many economic issues like unemployment, income condition of the masses, standard of living, labour conditions and living standard, production, consumption, saving-habits, correlation between population and economic development are all part of Macro Demography Study
Social problem' like marital status, composition of the family, growing trend about t caste, religion, education, etc, form part of macro demography. Geography can also be studied with the help of macro demography For example problems of migration, urbanization, etc form part of macro demography.
According to the narrow view we study demography as small units like individual, family, group etc In fact these units constitute the primary elements of macro analysis For instance if we study the fertility rate of women in Rewa or Bhopal, it forms part of
micro demography. On the other hand, if we study the fertility of women for the whole of India or Madhya Pradesh, and Rewa and Bhopal divisions are included as units of the same, then the study will fall within the macro analysis. According to Prof. Bogue
"Micro Demography is the study of the growth, distribution and redistribution of the population within community, state, economic area or other local area. This included both numerical and composition aspects and is performed by using meaningful subdivision of community of local areas." [continues]

Submicrometer tomography of cells by multiple-wavelength digital holographic microscopy in reflection
Publication types: Journal Article - Publication Status: ppublish
We present first results on a method enabling mechanical scanning-free tomography with submicrometer axial resolution by multiple-wavelength digital holographic microscopy. By sequentially acquiring reflection holograms and summing 20 wavefronts equally spaced in spatial frequency in the 485-670 nm range, we are able to achieve a slice-by-slice tomographic reconstruction with a 0.6-1 mum axial resolution in a biological medium. The method is applied to erythrocytes investigation to retrieve the cellular membrane profile in three dimensions.

This Is a Summary of Some of the Key Points from Kant
To be happy is to attain a mean between virtues, morals, pleasures, and goals. There are two kinds of mean. The first mean is arithmetical and it is the same for everyone, and is according to entity itself. The second mean is ethical and it is not the same for everyone. It is according to us. If a person can learn to find a balance and become satisfied with his situation as a result of that balance, he will be happy. Consider a situation of this paper - It has taken me time to complete, and I have had pains in writing it, but I write it to achieve a greater goal, a good grade. …

About White Steenbras (Pignose Grunter)
White steenbras ( Lithognathus lithognathus) are endemic, spawning fish highly prized by recreational fishers. They are found in estuaries (juveniles) and surf (sub-adults) and inshore zone (adults). Populations were heavily overfished in the 80's which lead to a collapse in the fishing industry. White steenbras are listed as Endangered on IUCN's list for threatened species and are rated as no-sale species within South Africa.
2. How was it caught or farmed?
Only recreational fishers with special permit may catch white steenbras following a daily bag (1) and minimum size limit (60cm). Recreational fishers are not allowed to sell their catches.
3. Where is it from?
White steenbras are endemic to the waters around the Orange River up to KwaZulu-Natal. Due to its no-sale status management, consists of monitoring and permit enforcement on a local scale.

Searching for virus phylotypes
Motivation: Large phylogenies are being built today to study virus evolution, trace the origin of epidemics, establish the mode of transmission and survey the appearance of drug resistance. However, no tool is available to quickly inspect these phylogenies and combine them with extrinsic traits (e.g. geographic location, risk group, presence of a given resistance mutation), seeking to extract strain groups of specific interest or requiring surveillance.Results: We propose a new method for obtaining such groups, which we call phylotypes, from a phylogeny having taxa (strains) annotated with extrinsic traits. Phylotypes are subsets of taxa with close phylogenetic relationships and common trait values. The method combines ancestral trait reconstruction using parsimony, with combinatorial and numerical criteria measuring tree shape characteristics and the diversity and separation of the potential phylotypes. A shuffling procedure is used to assess the statistical significance of phylotypes. All algorithms have linear time complexity. This results in low computing times, typically a few minutes for the larger data sets with a number of shuffling steps. Two HIV-1 data sets are analyzed, one of which is large, containing >3000 strains of HIV-1 subtype C collected worldwide, where the method shows its ability to recover known clusters and transmission routes, and to detect new ones.Availability: This method and companion tools are implemented in an interactive Web interface (_URL_), which provides a wide choice of graphical views and output formats, and allows for exploratory analyses of large data sets.Contact: _EMAIL_, _EMAIL_ information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Design of attitude determination and control system for Hokkaido Satellite
Koichiro Sugimoto, Kosei Ishimura, Daigaku Igarashi
Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper
1 Citation (Scopus)
Abstract
This paper describes the design and performance verification of the attitude determination and control system for the Hokkaido Satellite. The main missions of the satellite are earth observation during sunlight and laser communication during sunshade. The purpose of the attitude determination and control system is to stabilize the attitude around three axes within three degrees. The satellite is stabilized by a momentum wheel (MW). The attitude determination system consists of an earth sensor and an inertia reference unit (IRU). Based on the Kalman filter, the determination system can estimate three attitude angles and IRU bias rates without a yaw sensor. The control modes of the satellite are an attitude acquisition mode, a normal mode and a safe-hold mode. For the normal mode of the wheel-stabilized earth pointing satellite, a new pointing control law is proposed. The proposed law simultaneously achieves nutation dumping and angular momentum direction control relative to the orbital coordinate system. The control law consists of pitch angle control by MW, roll and yaw axes control by magnetic torquers (MTQ) and angular momentum control by MTQ. Through numerical simulations, it was confirmed that the determination laws and the control laws can achieve the required attitude accuracy and stabilization time.

The very first sign of the Wootodo birds was found in the ancient cave drawings in 1787.
The cave was based in the highest peaks of the Alps and was discovered by the alpinist Jakob Messner who reached the peak of Mont Blanc for the first time. It was evident, that the drawing dated back to 10,000 BC.
For the first time, the real Wootodo bird was spotted in the highest German mountain – Zugspitze. The Wootodo was said to be a mix of a racoon and an owl and was described as being around 0,5 m tall and weighing about 6 kg.
The first photo of a Wootodo Bird
With the beginning of the photo cameras, the first Wootodo bird pictures came out. It was identified by its distinct appearance: burgundy coloured fur-feather body, white belly, black & white racoon type fluffy tail, owl peek and cute tiny wings.
The Unique Features of Wootodo
The most intriguing feature of the Wootodo birds was their ability to build their nests in the most magnificent places. The explanation of this was, that as it is half racoon, they are very curious and want to explore places, and the owl half make them see what others do not see. There is even a legend saying, that if you are lucky enough to find a nest of a Wootodo bird, you become gifted with the unbelievable intuition and highest sense for uniqueness.
Wootodo Birds in Danger
Sadly, these special abilities attracted the attention of more and more hunters, and the numbers of Wootodos started dropping rapidly. The major reduction took part during the Golden age of Alpinism, in _PHONE_, when hundreds of hikers started exploring the mountains, and most of the nests were destroyed.
The Unofficial Extinction
Although the extinction of the Wootodo has not yet been announced officially, none have been spotted since the 1890s. The last sighting of this animal was in one of the Alpen villages, in 1887. It is thought, that they migrated down the valley to protect their nests from the hikers.
Wootodo spotted in Leipzig!
To our great surprise, one Wootodo bird was spotted in Germany, the city of Leipzig during the summer of 2018. It is not clear are there more Wootodos out there, but this particular bird is truly spectacular! In fact, because he (we tend to think it's a male), is now no longer in the mountains, his ability to find the unseen beauty transformed into the special intuition for unique events. It looks like he immersed in the city lifestyle and applied his skills for the social world. Another kind of beauty. The beauty of special.
Wootodo the Woo!
So it happened that this super rare Wootodo bird landed in Leipzig, and to our big surprise, he heard about us trying to build a more cosy and unique event community and so decided to become friends with us and help. Wootodo birds as we mentioned above are super curious and insightful for the uniqueness and good vibes, thus we thought it is perfect to call this community Wootodo! Oh, and as his first word was "Woo" we thought of a perfect name - we present you, Wootodo the Woo! <3

Day-ahead Load Probabilistic Forecasting Based on Space-time Correction
Author(s): Fei Jin, Xiaoliang Liu, Fangfang Xing, Guoqiang Wen, Shuangkun Wang, Hui He* and Runhai Jiao
Volume 14 , Issue 3 , 2021
Published on: 07 December, 2020
Page: [360 - 374] Pages: 15
DOI: 10.2174/2352096513666201208103431
Abstract
Background: The day-ahead load forecasting is an essential guideline for power generating, and it is of considerable significance in power dispatch.
Objective: Most of the existing load probability prediction methods use historical data to predict a single area, and rarely use the correlation of load time and space to improve the accuracy of load prediction.
Methods: This paper presents a method for day-ahead load probability prediction based on spacetime correction. Firstly, the kernel density estimation (KDE) is employed to model the prediction error of the long short-term memory (LSTM) model, and the residual distribution is obtained. The correlation value is then used to modify the time and space dimensions of the test set's partial period prediction values.
Results: The experiment selected three years of load data in 10 areas of a city in northern China. The MAPE of the two modified models on their respective test sets can be reduced by an average of 10.2% and 6.1% compared to previous results. The interval coverage of the probability prediction can be increased by an average of 4.2% and 1.8% than before.
Conclusion: The test results show that the proposed correction schemes are feasible.
Keywords: Day-ahead load probabilistic forecasting, long short-term memory, space-time correction, kernel density estimation, short-term load forecast, residual modeling.
