Can 360 feedback replace performance appraisals there has been a growing sentiment for some time now that performance appraisals are rather useless rather, everyone is now going gungho about feedback feedback can be real time and ongoing that's what employees need as it actually helps. During a 360-degree review, a team member can expect to receive feedback from all angles supervisors, direct reports and peers will all chip in with their views on that person's skills, behavior, and impact on the rest of the team it's a completely different way to approach the traditional performance review,. The 360-degree approach to providing feedback is quite different from the traditional, top-down performance feedback that was once commonplace 360 assessments differ in several ways: well-rounded review traditional performance reviews involve the employee getting feedback directly from her/his manager while a. Design and use a survey to compare 360 feedback to traditional supervisoronly feedback 11 survey the subjects for their satisfaction with the multi-source feedback 12 revise the multi-source feedback system of a k-12 school district based on the feedback of the employees 13 develop a script/notebook that would. If you are not using 360 degree feedback you could be falling to traditional workplace dynamics as the different sectors harness all of these rapidly changing processes, slowly but surely the implementation of the 360-feedback tool is gaining traction related article: workforce happiness: how to keep your team. 360 degree feedback is a key tool in assisting employees to maximise their potential it provides feedback from a range of sources (such as managers, peers, direct reports, and customers or clients), offering many advantages over traditional single-source feedback 360 degree surveys are increasingly. Sogosurvey helps you collect accurate and helpful information through 360- degree feedback surveys enable employees and others to answer specific questions related to performance learn more. Traditional 360 degree surveys have shown a low level of agreement between self-ratings and "other's" ratings research suggests that self-ratings are typically higher than "other's" ratings by as much as one half a standard deviation this presents a challenging feedback situation where there is little.
Unlike, the traditional top-down appraisal where a supervisor appraises the performance of their subordinate, 360 degree feedback incorporates multiple perspectives by using feedback from a principle of 360 degree feedback: provides an understanding of how the employee is perceived from different perspectives. The purpose of the 360 degree feedback is to assist each individual to understand his strengths and weaknesses and to contribute insights into aspects of paperwork/computer data entry overload: in traditional 360 evaluations, multi-rater feedback upped the sheer number of people participating in the. Paradoxes of 360-degree feedback programs and offers suggestions for managing them significant another difference from traditional performance a survey of the members of the society of human resource managers found that 35 percent of the organizations used 360-degree feedback primarily for executives.

Looks at the difference between success and failure with regard to 360‐degree feedback projects, stressing the need for a formalized structure to facilitate effective implementation many factors that are non‐issues with traditional surveys can be fatal to 360‐degree assessment, such as those factors shown in table i. To compare the means from the survey results of the traditional method to the survey results of the 360-degree feedback method and to determine if there is a significant difference between the means, or if the differences are due to sampling errors created by random sampling findings the purpose of this study was to gain. Develop questionnaire a questionnaire used for 360 degree feedback typically contains items that are rated on a 4 to 7 point scale these items may be developed to measure different dimensions of job performance (eg, communication, teamwork, leadership, initiative, judgment,) questionnaires also typically include.
Companies use 360 degree feedback as a development tool and performance appraisal tool what 360 feedback surveys do not measure includes performance objectives, meeting basic job requirements, and basic skills what the 360 degree feedback system does is help companies get a better understanding of their. Reality has caused an increasing number of organizations to begin using 360- degree feedback for appraisal rather than exclusively for development this carries with it some significant pros and cons multirater feedback can be used for both development and appraisal purposes there are, however, important differences. Executive summary in this groundbreaking white paper, we challenge the notion that the best way to get honest feedback is through an anonymous process many researchers argue that using an anonymous 360-degree process can produce the opposite of the intended resultsthe anonymity will make.
Is 360 degree feedback better than traditional evaluations studies show 360 degree feedback assessments can have a positive economic impact when used for leadership development a study by j folkman showed the relationship between turnover and leadership effectiveness he showed effective leaders have. 360-degree feedback is so named because it solicits feedback regarding an employee's behavior from a variety of points of view (subordinate, lateral, and supervisory) it therefore may be contrasted with downward feedback ( traditional feedback on work behavior and performance delivered to subordinates by supervisory. Research by 3d group (2013) shows that the use of 360 degree feedback is now used for developing employees at all levels, extending beyond traditional recipients such as senior management and leadership groups there is also growth in the use of comparisons to previous years scores these results.

Kairit Kaur (University of Tartu / Tallinn University Library): Totentanz and graveyard poetry: how to grasp the Baltic German reception of English Literature and Culture
Writing my theses "Dichtende Frauen in Est-, Livund Kurland, 1654–1800. Von den ersten Gelegenheitsgedichten bis zu den ersten Gedichtbänden" (Poetry writing women in Estonia, Livonia and Courland, 1654–1800. From the first occasional poems to the first poetry collections), Tartu 2013, I encountered the interesting phenomenon of a Baltic German occasional poem published in Tallinn in 1759 that might have been inspired by the English graveyard poetry that was popular at the time in Western Europe and in Russia. There was, however, no research into the reception of English literature in 18th-century Estonia. When I started work as a specialist in old books at the Tallinn University Academic Library in 2013, I got the chance to catalogue subclass XII (poetry and drama) of the library of the Estonian Literary Society, a Baltic German learned society founded in 1842. In addition to Baltic German poetic and dramatic works it contains many works of mostly Western European literature, primarily German, but also French and English, and – to a lesser extent – Italian, Spanish and Scandinavian. As a researcher, my aim is to investigate how world literature came to Tallinn and Estonia, combining history of books and literary history. When and in what ways did English literature come to Estonia? What was read in original languages and what reached the Baltic German reader via German translation? Who possessed English literature and how did it shape the local literature? Which part of it reached later Estonian national literature and which did not, and why? In my presentation I would like to describe and discuss my first findings, taking subclass XII as the starting point.

I want to cut a model which otherwise would be too big to 3D print in 4 parts . I use the fastcarve add-on and use a plane to slice the model in 2 in the y-axis (|). When I then select a half and use another plane to slice it in the x-axis (-) the object isn't cut in half. Instead it seems like it seperates the part of the object that overlaps with the plane and cuts out those thin portions. What I'd like is a cut that seperates the upper from the lower portion (from each half).
The same happens when I join 2 planes to make a cutter (see images below).
How can I do this?

I don't know a lot about 3D print but maybe you could cut your object with the Boolean modifier (cut in half in my example to make it simple):
 - Create the object you want to cut, save a copy somewhere on a layer.
 - Create a cube, put it on the left side of your object.
 - Duplicate the whole thing (object + cube) with a shiftDenter.
 - Click M to put the duplications on layer 2.
 - Stay in layer 1, select your object and give it a Boolean modifier with the cube as Object.
 - Go in layer 2, duplicate the cube and stick it to the right of the first cube with the help of the Snap option (Vertex/Closest modes). Delete the left cube of this second layer.
 - Same thing as layer 1, give your layer 2 object a Boolean modifier, with the cube as Object.
 - Now you can apply the booleans, your object will be cut in half (half left and half right), and these two halves will perfectly match.
 - To divide by 4 you can duplicate 4 cubes (last picture), then duplicate these 4 cubes and the object 4 times in 4 layers, then keep one cube per layer and use a Boolean > Intersect mode on each object of each layer, you'll get 4 quarters.

 - $\begingroup$ Thanks, I did something similar. I extrude the plane so i got a box and used the "interesect" option in the fast-carve addon (same thing as using a boolean modifier)...Weird that it will slice on the vertical axis but not on the horizontal... $\endgroup$

Segment an object in X, Y and Z
Using a script written for blender 2.80
enter image description here Split this thing 4 in x 3 in z
I've been playing around with a bmesh bisect script that is a lot quicker, but unfortunately doesn't fill in the slices like a boolean. Here is a boolean modifier version.
The method is similar in using the bounding box to align the planes.
 1. Add a bisect plane, make it solid by adding a solidify modifier and thickness. Use the object dimensions to make sure it is both way bigger and thicker.
 2. Slice along the bounding box, shave a piece off as a dupe, flip the direction of thickness and shave that piece off original. By shave I am using boolean difference modifier enter image description here Example of reversing the boolean by negating the thickness of the solidify modifier
 3. Add a boolean difference modifer to object, make the plane the modifier object.
 4. Move the Plane to each cut location and repeat the process on result meshes for each axis.
 5. Clean up, remove the plane

Lindsley Hollow is where the runoff from Bear Cub Pond flows down along Route 206. There are rock piles going straight up the hill, in a row, visible from the road.Going uphill, they can still be seen in some spots, even among ferns that are between knee and waist high.Following the row of rock piles, this ominous pile of rocks appears where the row of smaller piles terminates.Here is a close up of the largest rock pile at the base of the large mound of rocks. Notice the stone row at the far upper right corner of the photo (behind the Striped Maple).Using the large Red Maple with the low Y joint (to the left of the stone row) as a reference point, here is a close up of part of the stone row.In the photo above, just behind the stone row, is a small quarry. My suspicion is that the ominous mound was created by the quarry. However, this has left me with more questions than answers. What were they quarrying? If they were quarrying stone for barn foundations, why did they leave so much rock behind? Why do the row piles lead up to the quarry?
There are other rock piles around, not in the row and seemingly separate from the quarry, although nearby.Then the large stone with the piece of feather-and-wedge-split-granite (from the Near Bear Cub Pond post) is just north and downhill from the quarry. The granite, not being indigenous to the area, would not have come from the quarry. Any ideas on what might have gone on here would be welcome.

of data (the grid contents). I see no significant disadvantages over rolling your own matching algorithm, and it simplifies the whole process. – David Gouveia Dec 28 '11 at 14:47
_USER_, that's just a phrase for people who are not too comfortable with Regex. If they decide to solve a problem with regex, they now have two problems: (1) the actual problem they want to solve (2) writing the regex pattern to solve that problem – iamserious Dec 28 '11 at 14:52
Going back to the 'now you have two problems' - Regex will have problems as soon as you have more items than the ASCII printable range, unless your regex processor supports unicode and you can guarantee that certain combinations won't trip the regex NFA compiler up. You could throw together your own DFA (quite easily actually) to match patterns; but regex would be the best way to go while prototyping. – Jonathan Dickinson Dec 29 '11 at 13:57

I can't tell you how the Minecraft one works - although I am sure if you looked at MCP (if you have a legal copy of Minecraft) you could find out.
I would implement this as follows:
 1. Have some disk-based dictionary/hashmap (B+Tree/SQL-Light) - the value would be the item ID of the recipe result.
 2. When a user is crafting something simply find the first row/column with an item INDEPENDENTLY; combine those into an offset.
 3. Find the last row/column with an item, again, independently.
 4. Compute the width and height from the items and add it to the key.
 5. Loop over the range of the bounding box you just computed and append the ID of each item (using your usual for (y) { for (x) }).
 6. Look the key up in the database.
So for example lets say we have two ingredients; X and Y and blanks being *. Take the following recipe:
First we work out the bounding box, yielding (2,0)-(2,2). Therefore our key would look like this [1][3] (1 width, 3 height). Next we loop over each item within the bounding box and append the ID, thus the key becomes [1][3][X][Y][Y] - you then look this up in your dictionary/DB and you will get the result of that recipe.
To explain the independence in step 2 more clearly, consider the following recipe:
The top/left is clearly at 0,0 - however the first item you would typically encounter would be either 0,1 or 1,0 (depending on your loop). However if find the first non-empty column as well as the first non-empty row and combine those co-ordinates you will get 0,0 - the same principal applies to the bottom/right of the bounding box.

_USER_ (This is my first answer) not really, it is more dependant on a hashmap structure (whether it is bigtable-like or in-memory). The reason I answered again is because I was worried about hash collisions leading to poor performance - at least in a in-memory hashmap.

Trans-radial prosthesis is a wearable device that intends to help amputees under the elbow to replace the function of the missing anatomical segment that resembles an actual human hand. However, there are some challenging aspects faced mainly on the robot hand structural design itself. Improvements are needed as this is closely related to structure efficiency. This paper proposes a robot hand structure with improved features (four-bar linkage mechanism) to overcome the deficiency of using the cable-driven actuated mechanism that leads to less structure durability and inaccurate motion range. Our proposed robot hand structure also took into account the existing design problems such as bulky structure, unindividual actuated finger, incomplete fingers and a lack of finger joints compared to the actual finger in its design. This paper presents the improvements achieved by applying the proposed design such as the use of a four-bar linkage mechanism instead of using the cable-driven mechanism, the size of an average human hand, five-fingers with completed joints where each finger is moved by motor individually, joint protection using a mechanical stopper, detachable finger structure from the palm frame, a structure that has sufficient durability for everyday use and an easy to fabricate structure using 3D printing technology. The four-bar linkage mechanism is the use of the solid linkage that connects the actuator with the structure to allow the structure to move. The durability was investigated using static analysis simulation. The structural details and simulation results were validated through motion capture analysis and load test. The motion analyses towards the 3D printed robot structure show 70-98% similar motion range capability to the designed structure in the CAD software, and it can withstand up to 1.6 kg load in the simulation and the real test. The improved robot hand structure with optimum durability for prosthetic uses was successfully developed.
Transparent object detection and reconstruction are significant, due to their practical applications. The appearance and characteristics of light in these objects make reconstruction methods tailored for Lambertian surfaces fail disgracefully. In this paper, we introduce a fixed multi-viewpoint approach to ascertain the shape of transparent objects, thereby avoiding the rotation or movement of the object during imaging. In addition, a simple and cost-effective experimental setup is presented, which employs two single-pixel detectors and a digital micromirror device, for imaging transparent objects by projecting binary patterns. In the system setup, a dark framework is implemented around the object, to create shades at the boundaries of the object. By triangulating the light path from the object, the surface shape is recovered, neither considering the reflections nor the number of refractions. It can, therefore, handle transparent objects with a relatively complex shape with the unknown refractive index. The implementation of compressive sensing in this technique further simplifies the acquisition process, by reducing the number of measurements. The experimental results show that 2D images obtained from the single-pixel detectors are better in quality with a resolution of 32×32. Additionally, the obtained disparity and error map indicate the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method. This work provides a new insight into 3D transparent object detection and reconstruction, based on single-pixel imaging at an affordable cost, with the implementation of a few numbers of detectors.
The enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is the gold standard clinical diagnostic tool for the detection and quantification of protein biomarkers. However, conventional ELISA tests have drawbacks in their requirement of time, expensive equipment and expertise for operation. Hence, for the purpose of rapid, high throughput screening and point-of-care diagnosis, researchers are miniaturizing sandwich ELISA procedures on Lab-on-a-Chip and Lab-on-Compact Disc (LOCD) platforms. This paper presents a novel integrated device to detect and interpret the ELISA test results on a LOCD platform. The system applies absorption spectrophotometry to measure the absorbance (optical density) of the sample using a monochromatic light source and optical sensor. The device performs automated analysis of the results and presents absorbance values and diagnostic test results via a graphical display or via Bluetooth to a smartphone platform which also acts as controller of the device. The efficacy of the device was evaluated by performing dengue antibody IgG ELISA on 64 hospitalized patients suspected of dengue. The results demonstrate high accuracy of the device, with 95% sensitivity and 100% specificity in detection when compared with gold standard commercial ELISA microplate readers. This sensor platform represents a significant step towards establishing ELISA as a rapid, inexpensive and automatic testing method for the purpose of point-of-care-testing (POCT) in resource-limited settings.
A developed colorimetric pH sensor film based on edible materials for real-time monitoring of food freshness is described. The mixed natural dyes from edible plants Clitoria sp and Brassica sp were extracted and incorporated into ι-carrageenan film as a colorimetric pH sensor film for monitoring food spoilage and its freshness. The color changes of the developed colorimetric sensor film were measured with chromametry and UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively. Experimental results show that colorimetric pH sensor film demonstrated statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between CIE-L*a*b* coordinates color system indicated that the developed colorimetric sensor film was able to give a gradual change in color over a wide pH range. The color of the colorimetric sensor film also changes discretely and linearly with factors that contribute to food spoilage using shrimp and durian samples. Moreover, the developed colorimetric pH sensor film has the potential to be used as a safe, non-destructive testing and also a flexibly visual method for direct assessment of food freshness indicator during storage.
A minimally-sized, triple-notched band ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna, useful for many applications, is designed, analyzed, and experimentally validated in this paper. A modified maple leaf-shaped main radiating element with partial ground is used in the proposed design. An E-shaped resonator, meandered slot, and U-shaped slot are implemented in the proposed design to block the co-existing bands. The E-shaped resonator stops frequencies ranging from 1.8⁻2.3 GHz (Advanced Wireless System (AWS1⁻AWS2) band), while the meandered slot blocks frequencies from 3.2⁻3.8 GHz (WiMAX band). The co-existing band ranging from 5.6⁻6.1 GHz (IEEE 802.11/HIPERLANband) is blocked by utilizing the U-shaped section in the feeding network. The notched bands can be independently controlled over a wide range of frequencies using specific parameters. The proposed antenna is suitable for many applications because of its flat gain, good radiation characteristics at both principal planes, uniform group delay, and non-varying transfer function ( S 21 ) for the entire UWB frequency range.
A compact ultrawideband (UWB) antenna based on a hexagonal split-ring resonator (HSRR) is presented in this paper for sensing the pH factor. The modified HSRR is a new concept regarding the conventional square split-ring resonator (SSRR). Two HSRRs are interconnected with a strip line and a split in one HSRR is introduced to increase the electrical length and coupling effect. The presented UWB antenna consists of three unit cells on top of the radiating patch element. This combination of UWB antenna and HSRR gives double-negative characteristics which increase the sensitivity of the UWB antenna for the pH sensor. The proposed ultrawideband antenna metamaterial sensor was designed and fabricated on FR-4 substrate. The electrical length of the proposed metamaterial antenna sensor is 0.238 × 0.194 × 0.016 λ, where λ is the lowest frequency of 3 GHz. The fractional bandwidth and bandwidth dimension ratio were achieved with the metamaterial-inspired antenna as 146.91% and 3183.05, respectively. The operating frequency of this antenna sensor covers the bandwidth of 17 GHz, starting from 3 to 20 GHz with a realized gain of 3.88 dB. The proposed HSRR-based ultrawideband antenna sensor is found to reach high gain and bandwidth while maintaining the smallest electrical size, a highly desired property for pH-sensing applications.
In this paper, a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with high gain and wide impedance bandwidth for fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication applications is proposed. The dielectric resonator antenna is designed to operate at higher-order TEδ15x mode to achieve high antenna gain, while a hollow cylinder at the center of the DRA is introduced to improve bandwidth by reducing the quality factor. The DRA is excited by a 50Ω microstrip line with a narrow aperture slot. The reflection coefficient, antenna gain, and radiation pattern of the proposed DRAs are analyzed using the commercially available full-wave electromagnetic simulation tool CST Microwave Studio (CST MWS). In order to verify the simulation results, the proposed antenna structures were fabricated and experimentally validated. Measured results of the fabricated prototypes show a 10-dB return loss impedance bandwidth of 10.7% (14.3-15.9GHz) and 16.1% (14.1-16.5 GHz) for DRA1 and DRA2, respectively, at the operating frequency of 15 GHz. The results show that the designed antenna structure can be used in the Internet of things (IoT) for device-to-device (D2D) communication in 5G systems.

Expressions
The value for any layout property, paint property, or filter may be specified as an expression. An expression defines a formula for computing the value of the property using the operators described below. The set of expression operators provided by MapLibre GL includes:
 - Mathematical operators for performing arithmetic and other operations on numeric values
 - Logical operators for manipulating boolean values and making conditional decisions
 - String operators for manipulating strings
 - Data operators, providing access to the properties of source features
 - Camera operators, providing access to the parameters defining the current map view
Expressions are represented as JSON arrays. The first element of an expression array is a string naming the expression operator, e.g. "*" or "case". Elements that follow (if any) are the arguments to the expression. Each argument is either a literal value (a string, number, boolean, or null), or another expression array.
[expression_name, argument_0, argument_1, ...]
Data expressions
A data expression is any expression that access feature data – that is, any expression that uses one of the data operators: get, has, id, geometry-type, properties, or feature-state. Data expressions allow a feature's properties or state to determine its appearance. They can be used to differentiate features within the same layer and to create data visualizations.

 "circle-color": [
 "rgb",
 // red is higher when feature.properties.temperature is higher
 ["get", "temperature"],
 // green is always zero
 0,
 // blue is higher when feature.properties.temperature is lower
 ["-", 100, ["get", "temperature"]]
 ]
}
This example uses the get operator to get the temperature value of each feature. That value is used to compute arguments to the rgb operator, defining a color in terms of its red, green, and blue components.
Data expressions are allowed as the value of the filter property, and as values for most paint and layout properties. However, some paint and layout properties do not yet support data expressions. The level of support is indicated by the "data-driven styling" row of the "SDK Support" table for each property. Data expressions with the feature-state operator are allowed only on paint properties.
Camera expressions
A camera expression is any expression that uses the zoom operator. Such expressions allow the appearance of a layer to change with the map's zoom level. Camera expressions can be used to create the appearance of depth and to control data density.
{
 "circle-radius": [
 "interpolate", ["linear"], ["zoom"],
 // zoom is 5 (or less) -> circle radius will be 1px
 5, 1,
 // zoom is 10 (or greater) -> circle radius will be 5px
 10, 5
 ]
}
This example uses the interpolate operator to define a linear relationship between zoom level and circle size using a set of input-output pairs. In this case, the expression indicates that the circle radius should be 1 pixel when the zoom level is 5 or below, and 5 pixels when the zoom is 10 or above. Between the two zoom levels, the circle radius will be linearly interpolated between 1 and 5 pixels
Camera expressions are allowed anywhere an expression may be used. When a camera expression used as the value of a layout or paint property, it must be in one of the following forms:
[ "interpolate", interpolation, ["zoom"], ... ]
Or:
[ "step", ["zoom"], ... ]
Or:
[
 "let",
 ... variable bindings...,
 [ "interpolate", interpolation, ["zoom"], ... ]
]
Or:
[
 "let",
 ... variable bindings...,
 [ "step", ["zoom"], ... ]
]
That is, in layout or paint properties, ["zoom"] may appear only as the input to an outer interpolate or step expression, or such an expression within a [let]../expressions/index.md/#let) expression.
There is an important difference between layout and paint properties in the timing of camera expression evaluation. Paint property camera expressions are re-evaluated whenever the zoom level changes, even fractionally. For example, a paint property camera expression will be re-evaluated continuously as the map moves between zoom levels 4.1 and 4.6. A layout property camera expression is evaluated only at integer zoom levels. It will not be re-evaluated as the zoom changes from 4.1 to 4.6 – only if it goes above 5 or below 4.
Composition
A single expression may use a mix of data operators, camera operators, and other operators. Such composite expressions allows a layer's appearance to be determined by a combination of the zoom level and individual feature properties.
{
 "circle-radius": [
 "interpolate", ["linear"], ["zoom"],
 // when zoom is 0, set each feature's circle radius to the value of its "rating" property
 0, ["get", "rating"],
 // when zoom is 10, set each feature's circle radius to four times the value of its "rating" property
 10, ["*", 4, ["get", "rating"]]
 ]
}
An expression that uses both data and camera operators is considered both a data expression and a camera expression, and must adhere to the restrictions described above for both.
Type system
The input arguments to expressions, and their result values, use the same set of types as the rest of the style specification: boolean, string, number, color, and arrays of these types. Furthermore, expressions are type safe: each use of an expression has a known result type and required argument types, and the SDKs verify that the result type of an expression is appropriate for the context in which it is used. For example, the result type of an expression in the filter property must be boolean, and the arguments to the + operator must be numbers.
When working with feature data, the type of a feature property value is typically not known ahead of time by the SDK. To preserve type safety, when evaluating a data expression, the SDK will check that the property value is appropriate for the context. For example, if you use the expression ["get", "feature-color"] for the circle-color property, the SDK will verify that the feature-color value of each feature is a string identifying a valid color. If this check fails, an error will be indicated in an SDK-specific way (typically a log message), and the default value for the property will be used instead.
In most cases, this verification will occur automatically wherever it is needed. However, in certain situations, the SDK may be unable to automatically determine the expected result type of a data expression from surrounding context. For example, it is not clear whether the expression ["<", ["get", "a"], ["get", "b"]] is attempting to compare strings or numbers. In situations like this, you can use one of the type assertion expression operators to indicate the expected type of a data expression: ["<", ["number", ["get", "a"]], ["number", ["get", "b"]]]. A type assertion checks that the feature data matches the expected type of the data expression. If this check fails, it produces an error and causes the whole expression to fall back to the default value for the property being defined. The assertion operators are array, boolean, number, and string.
Expressions perform only one kind of implicit type conversion: a data expression used in a context where a color is expected will convert a string representation of a color to a color value. In all other cases, if you want to convert between types, you must use one of the type conversion expression operators: to-boolean, to-number, to-string, or to-color. For example, if you have a feature property that stores numeric values in string format, and you want to use those values as numbers rather than strings, you can use an expression such as ["to-number", ["get", "property-name"]].
If an expression accepts an array argument and the user supplies an array literal, that array must be wrapped in a literal expression (see the examples below). When GL-JS encounters an array in a style-spec property value, it will assume that the array is an expression and try to parse it; the library has no way to distinguish between an expression which failed validation and an array literal unless the developer makes this distinction explicit with the literal operator. The literal operator is not necessary if the array is returned from a sub-expression, e.g. ["in", 1, ["get", "myArrayProp"]].
// will throw an error
{
 "circle-color": ["in", 1, [1, 2, 3]]
}
// will work as expected
{
 "circle-color": ["in", 1, ["literal", [1, 2, 3]]]
}

5 Holiday Safety Tips
The holiday season is a time to be jolly and joyful, but it's also a favorite time of year for thieves. If you aren't sure what to watch for, things like property damage, theft, and anxiety could put a damper on your holiday celebrations. Here are some tips to get you through the holiday season safely and securely:
 1. Don't leave expensive packages in your car.
Not everyone at the mall on Black Friday is there to enjoy the deals. Sometimes thieves are looking to take advantage of shoppers who have just spent hard-earned cash on a good bargain.
One of the best security measures you can take while shopping is to drop off purchases at home instead of storing them in your car. This is especially true of consumer electronics, which tend to come in identifiable boxes. Simply covering these packages with a blanket or hiding them beneath other boxes won't conceal them from clever thieves. Take your purchases home as soon as you leave the store.
 1. Minimize bags and stay aware in crowded shopping malls.
The more bags you have with you, the less likely you are to notice a thief slipping away with one or two. And the busier the shopping mall is, the easier it can be for a determined thief to escape into the crowd.
When you're shopping at a crowded mall, go with a group of friends instead of shopping solo. Try to keep the amount of bags you carry at a minimum. If possible, consolidate purchases from different stores into a single bag.
 1. Don't throw away your receipts, owners' manuals, and warranties.
Before they break into your house, thieves often go through your recycling bins or trash cans to find receipts, warranties, and other signs of recent purchases. Instead of throwing away or recycling your paper documents, take them to a nearby recycling center. If you have a paper shredder, run receipts and warranties through it before placing them in your bin. Better yet, hang on to your receipts and warranties for a year or two—you never know when you might need them.
 1. Be discreet with boxes and packaging materials.
One of the best ways to let a burglar know what gifts you received is to stack the boxes on your driveway or in your overflowing garbage or recycling bin. Take these common-sense steps to conceal your purchases from prospective thieves:
 - Flatten the boxes and turn them inside out before recycling them.
 - Store the boxes indoors until garbage day.
 - Shred the boxes or tear them into small pieces.
 - Take cardboard boxes to a nearby recycling facility.
Carelessly tossing large boxes in the trash significantly increases the risks of your home being burglarized. To stay safe, keep the boxes carefully out of sight until you can dispose of them appropriately.
 1. Employ security measures if you travel out of town.
If you're traveling over the holiday season, don't leave your home unguarded. Instead, implement and activate several crucial home security measures.
In particular, consider investing in a professionally installed home security system. Motion sensors and outdoor security lighting are excellent ideas year round, as are deadbolt locks, sash locks for windows, and motion sensors inside your house. Similarly, set your TVs and lights to random timers that simulate a human presence in your home. Light and appliance timers are relatively cheap and come with a wide range of options.
Most importantly of all this holiday season, use common sense as you make important purchases. Don't advertise your expensive belongings, be discreet with product packaging, and don't store items in your car as you run from store to store.

Prediction of the Standard Deviation of Wind Speed Turbulence
Turbulent wind speed is a vital component of wind speed, corresponding to the small-scale uncertainty of wind speed. The wind power output and aerodynamic loads are significantly influenced by turbulent wind speed. The present paper concentrates on the study of turbulent wind speed prediction, which is hardly addressed in previous studies and is a novel approach to understand turbulent wind speed in advance. In the present study, turbulent wind speed is measured by turbulence standard deviation. Although turbulent wind speed itself is unpredictable, the correlation analysis proves that the turbulence standard deviation is predictable within a proper time horizon. As a result, the turbulent wind speed can be understood ahead of time by predicting turbulence standard deviation. The 10-min ahead, 30-min ahead and 60-min ahead predictions of turbulence standard deviation are provided by Support Vector Regression and Kernel Ridge Regression. Furthermore, the average wind speed is fused into the forecasting model to improve the prediction accuracy of turbulence standard deviation.
Keywords: Wind speed, Turbulence, Uncertainty, Standard deviation, Predictability, Correlation analysis

Zend Framework 101: Zend_Log
Creating Your First Logger
To begin, I'll show you how to create a basic file-system logger. To achieve this we must instantiate the
Zend_Log class, then add a writer to this object. We will use a writer that writes log messages to the file system.
The class we use to write log messages to the file system is
Zend_Log_Writer_Stream. This class accepts the path where the log messages should be written to as the first argument to the constructor.
Listing 1 shows an example of creating the logger and adding the writer to it. You can either add the writer when instantiating
Zend_Log (such as
new Zend_Log(new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream(...))), or as shown in the following listing.
require_once('Zend/Log.php'); require_once('Zend/Log/Writer/Stream.php'); $logger = new Zend_Log(); $writer = new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream('sample.log'); $logger->addWriter($writer); $logger->log('sample message!', Zend_Log::INFO);
The above listing concludes by calling the log() method on the
Zend_Log object. This records a message to the log. Listing 2 shows an example of how the log file appears after this code is run.
$ cat sample.log 2009-04-11T14:47:20+09:00 INFO (6): sample message!
In the next section I'll cover the recording of events in greater detail.

grass. The dark-colored mice may be, overall, more fit than the light-colored mice, and at first glance, one might expect the light-colored mice be selected for a darker coloration. But remember that the intermediate phenotype, a medium-colored coat, is very bad for the mice—they cannot blend in with either the sand or the grass and are more likely to be eaten by predators. As a result, the light-colored mice would not be selected for a dark coloration because those individuals that began moving in that direction (began being selected for a darker coat) would be less fit than those that stayed light.

 Something that was much insisted on when I was at school, because i guess some kids found it hard to get their heads round. Like 1M HCl or NaOH are 1N but 1M H2SO4 or Na2CO3 are 2N. You get the idea? - it's the same as the distinction between molar masses and equivalent masses (or weights as we used to call them).
 I think they have been phased out of teaching now, have they? If so it's no loss, they are unnecessary.

 Normality meant different things at different moments in time. There was a period when normality depended on the reaction - so 1M sulfuric acid was 2N in the reaction with NaOH, but 1N inteh reaction with CaCl. Then IUPAC decided to make it always reaction with H+ or e- - so 1M sulfuric acid would be always 2N. Then, IUPAC decided they created so much confusion it is better to deprecate normality at all.
Have something to add?

Howto:Place 3D objects with the UFO
From FlightGear wiki
Revision as of 22:28, 29 July 2009 by Flug (Talk | contribs) (command keys are lower case; don't work if done in upper case.)
Jump to: navigation, search
The UFO aircraft is a superb tool for placing a new (or old) 3D object at any arbitrary location in the scenery with just a few clicks of the mouse.
Placing objects in the scenery is a really easy way to contribute to the FlightGear project. It doesn't require any programming knowledge, and you can contribute something valuable in 15 minutes.
Below is an overview of placing, editing, & saving objects using the UFO. You can get a brief overview of the movement and editing commands by pressing ? while flying the UFO.
Choosing your object
The first thing you need is a 3d model to place in the scenery. The FlightGear Scenery Database (_URL_ maintains a huge library of generic models, which will have been included in your FlightGear installation.
If you have created your own model you should save it in a subdirectory of your FG root folder. Two options seem reasonable, although others are possible as well:
a) Save it in the directory Flightgear/data/Models/. That is the standard directory where the UFO will go when you press the Space bar. Let's say you have created a CAT III marker, called catii-iii.xml. In this example, we create a subdirectory Flightgear/data/Models/Tabu/ and save our catii-iii.xml there. The downpoint: The directory Flightgear/data/Models/ is the place where all shared models from the FG Scenery Database are saved and as your universe of own models grows, you might confuse both.
b) You can also save your own models in an other subdirectory like Flightgear/data/mymodels (or any other name). Or if they are shared models which have only one fixed position, like the KSFO terminal, you can save them in the respective subdirectory of the Scenery folder, e.g. Flightgear/data/Scenery/Objects/w130n30/w123n37/mymodels (or directly in w123n37). To browse objects anywhere on your computer, press l when using the UFO.
If creating your own object, make sure it is the correct size! In Blender, units are meters and the Caliper script may help. Note that you should not use Google Earth to determine the correct size. See here and here.
Selecting the ufo
Placing objects with UFO html m49fbed81.jpg
Now start Flightgear, and choose UFO as your aircraft.
Placing objects
Once Flightgear has been started, fly with the UFO to the place you want the model to be positioned.
Note that you should not use Google Earth to determine the correct position due to licensing problems. See here and here.
Placing objects with UFO html 5fa8d7b1.jpg
Let's say we want to position the catii-iii.xml object at the end of a taxiway. We stop the UFO just above this intersection and press the space key, a Select Model window will open up where the contents of the Flightgear/data/Models/ directory will be shown (or press "L" and you can go to any desired directory). Select your model from this list, then close the window. The selected model path/name will be display in green text at the bottom left of the FlightGear screen.
Placing objects with UFO html m184fb381.jpg
To place the object, simply left-click on the position that you want to place it. By default it is placed completely horizontal and rotated to point North. It will probably not have the correct orientation and it will be partly covered by the surrounding terrain, but we can adjust that.
Placing objects with UFO html 12ee70a1.jpg
Rotating objects
Fly closer to the ground with the UFO, so that you can see it better.
Now press TAB (or Ctrl-I), and use the resulting sliders to adjust the latitude/longitude/elevation/heading of the model. NB: "Pitch" and "roll" will not be saved, so using them might be fun, but won't help eventually.
Placing objects with UFO html 439816e9.jpg
See the UFO from the 'White Project' of the UNESCO page for more information on the UFO command keys and exported file locations, or press ? while in FlightGear.
Deleting objects
There are three different ways to three different situations in which which you want to delete an object:
You want to delete the last object that you placed in this session:
Press the backspace button.
You want to delete an object that you placed in this session, but you have placed one or two models after it:
That means that it is no longer active. Activate it by placing one more model on the object you want to delete, press the backspace button. Result: The model you want to delete starts blinking, which tells you that it is active.
You want to delete an obkect that is already saved in the corresponding .stg file and you don't know where it is:
You don't know the filename: The model you want to delete is probably a shared model. You find it in the scenery database. Now you know the model's file name (e.g. generic_skyscraper_01.ac or Office26x22.xml).
You still need to know where you find it. Place any model on that building and press d to know in which file you find it (see Exporting the result below). If there are several objects of that type and you want to delete only one of them, find the one closest to the coordinates of your model placed on top.
Open the .stg file, delete the whole model entry (see Exporting the result below). Done.
Exporting the result
Now that the model is correctly positioned, press the D key to dump the model position data to the terminal. A few lines will be printed on the console, providing the necessary orientation data.
Placing objects with UFO html m4cf0cbf7.jpg
The most important lines are the last ones:
# e000n50/e008n50/_PHONE_.stg
OBJECT_SHARED Models/Tabu/catii-iii.xml 8.57928135 50.03667992 _PHONE_ 111.1
The first line identified the location of the scenery file for the object. The OBJECT_SHARED line indicates the objects name, longitude, latitude, altitude and orientation. This can be read by FlightGear itself and can be (submitted) to the FlightGear Scenery Object Database.
You can also save these coordinates into your own scenery file so that your changes will not be lost the next time you start FlightGear.
Saving the changes to your scenery
In the terminal window, you get three sections printed out by the UFO with very detailed information about what's going on. We need the lines at the end.
As noted above, the UFO helpfully exports the name of the scenery file where the object's coordinates have to be saved. In our example
e000n50/e008n50/_PHONE_.stg
The default location for scenery files is Flightgear/data/Scenery/Objects/. Simply open the referenced .stg file, add the OBJECT_SHARED line to the bottom and save the file. Now you have your object's position saved, and it will appear inside the scenery every time you start Flightgear!
In our example we would open _PHONE_.stg in Flightgear/data/Scenery/Objects/e000n50/e008n50/ and add the following line.
OBJECT_SHARED Models/Tabu/catii-iii.xml 8.57928135 50.03667992 _PHONE_ 111.1
Saving to XML
Alternatively, if you press the e key while developing scenery with Ufo, fgfs will generate an xml file with the dump of your current work in a "ufo-model-export.xml" file.
Under unix the file is saved to ~/.fgfs and under windows it is saved to %APPDATA%\flightgear.org
You can later reload this XML file with --config= command-line parameter:
Example for Linux:
fgfs --config=$HOME/.fgfs/ufo-model-export.xml
While flying UFO, press ? for details about these and other commands.

This feature debut from Eyre is also being billed as the first film written, directed, and co-produced by American Indians, but hanging it on the indigenous hook does Smoke Signals a disservice.
At once poignant and slyly humorous, Eyre's film touches on the universal themes of loss, betrayal, redemption, and father/son relationships in ways that echo not only inside the reservation but outside as well.
Inclusively, the short story and the film have a correspondent plot: two Native Americans on a prodigious and agonizing journey to Phoenix, Arizona in search of the ashes of Victor's deceased father.
Both the film and short story portray familiar characterization, such as Victor's and Thomas' dreadful memories from their childhood which primarily affect their personalities.
Victor's memories of his father (Arnold) are bitter, as he remembers him as an alcoholic who fought with his mother and abandoned him and his mother when he was only a boy.
On that fateful day when he left, Victor ran after the car for as long as he could.
What follows, then, is less road trip than voyage of discovery, that takes the unlikely partnership from the scrubby, hardscrabble reservation to the final resting place of their only real male authority figure, and beyond.
Eyre's film, which has a screenplay by Sherman Alexie and is based on stories from his book The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, isn't nearly as wearyingly downbeat as a capsule description might make it sound.
The stories of Smoke Signals and "This is What it Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona" are built around the same narrative with a few dissimilarities here and there.
Smoke Signals is the film version based from the short story "This is What it Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona.


Difference Between 3G and LTE
Both the term 3G and LTE are advanced technologies that are used in mobile phones.
3G vs LTE
The difference between 3G and LTE is that the 3G is the oldest technology of the group, and it is slower than the LTE. On the other hand, LTE is a new technology, which is ten times faster than 3G.
3G vs LTE
The term 3g refers to the third generation network, which is the oldest technology in the group.
It was the first technology that has provided sufficient speed to the user so that they can experience decent speed on a smartphone. Before 3g, the user used 2g technology where the data was too slow, and also,
the user had to wait for a long time to load data.
LTE is referred to as Long Term Evolution. This technology can be ten times faster than 3g. it is also referred that the network speed depends upon the signal strength and network load.
it is also believed that LTE also does not meet its theoretical speed, but it is still faster than the 3G.
Comparison Table
Parameter of Comparison3GLTE
Definition It is referred to as the third generation network, which was the first technology that has provided sufficient speed to the user so that they can experience decent speed on a smartphone.LTE refers to a long-term evolution, which is the newer version of 3G. LTE is derived from the idea of mobile connectivity. It is a peak for the many year resource and development.
Speed 3G can run up to 7.2 Mbps, which means it is slower than the LTE.LTE can be run up to 100 Mbps, which means it is faster than the 3G.
Servers 3G is an old technology that has stable, established servers. LTE is a new technology that does not have stable, established servers in it.
What is 3G?
3G is referred to as a mobile communication standard, which is the third generation network.
The 3G service provider can enable 3g technologies because it allows connecting the internet through our smartphones.
Before 3G was launched, people used 2G, and they had to spend a lot of time waiting as the webpage loaded back at that time.
It just frustrated many people, but after the 3G was launched, it was changed. 3G was first launched in Japan in 2001, and it has been used since that time.
It is a third evolution project which was first launched in the early 80s, which is almost twenty-one year of development.
3G is considered as the 3rd generation networking standard that provides cell phone technology, which is highly introduced to provide high-speed data service on a mobile device.
It becomes more widespread so that it can connect the internet at a practical speed that is far better than the previous generation of mobile technology.
This network has explained to the world that mobile phones are not just limited to text messages and voice calls; rather than we can download a huge lot of information to the phone with the help of the internet.
And not only that, users can stream video and audio from thousands of miles away and can also be used in office work where multimedia can be exchanged between co-workers.
Lastly, 3G makes the smartphone worthwhile as it changes billions of people's communication easy and makes the user accept more advanced technologies such as 4G and 5G.
3g
What is LTE?
LTE refers to a long-term evolution, which is the newer version of 3G.
LTE is derived from the idea of mobile connectivity. It is a peak for the many year resource and development.
LTE is mainly compared with 4G, but the speed of 4G is much higher than LTE's current capabilities. LTE is a popular term used in North America to explain the fast speed mobile data connection.
Both 4G and LTE have similar connection speed but are very advanced as compared to 3G. It is also believed that the LTE stands just behind 4G.
It provides high-speed broadband data and high-speed mobile; it also supports public safety functions and telephone service. It is also believed that the safety net has its frequency on the LTE spectrum.
This network also has special features so that they can manage their network. The first feature is that it assigns the priorities to the customer.
It is considered that emergency calls get higher priorities, and if there are many numbers of folk in the network, then the priorities will decide which call should be connected and which call be disconnected.
Another feature is that LTE is that it is a self-organizing network, which means if there is an outage. The calls will be rerouted automatically to another path but it will revert to an optimally designed path, once the service is restored.

Geomechanics and Data Analytics: Bridging between ISIP and Geology
February 6, 2019 admin No comments exist
ISIP values are favoured by many in the industry because they are accessible and relatively easy to measure. Nevertheless, there are still questions on the nature of ISIP and its relation with geological and operational parameters. What is briefly shared here includes some short excerpts on ISIP characterization from some comprehensive regional studies on unconventional plays, These Canadian Discovery Ltd. studies implement Hybrid Data-Physics Analytics techniques for field characterization and fracturing and production optimization.
What is ISIP?
During hydraulic fracturing operations, as soon as the pumps are off, a sudden drop happens in the pressure curve (E to F in the graph below) and pressure falls to a value called Instantaneous Shut-in Pressure (ISIP). This drop occurs because the pressure caused by flow turbulence and friction during injection almost instantly disappears (see this article to learn more).
What is the geomechanical meaning of ISIP?
With no influence from the dynamic flow, the mechanical characters of the rock and fracture are probably less masked in ISIP compared to the the recorded pressures during pumping. This is one of the reasons that ISIP has gained so much popularity in the industry. Some may argue that ISIP is the 'real' fracture propagation pressure (FPP) as it does not include the dynamic effects of the fluid flow. There are also some who assume that ISIP is same as closure pressure or minimum stress which hardly makes any sense. There are also others who try to find relations between ISIP and minimum stress and/or pore pressure which can make sense. For instance, the figure below shows the variation of ISIP and pore pressure gradients for numerous wells in a play.
Can we implement such relations and develop models that use ISIP for finding stress or pressure? The answer could be yes if we can find out what other factors can also influence ISIP and find the proper algorithm to correlate these parameters.
Does ISIP have a significant geological character?
Maybe one way to answer this question is finding out if there is a pattern that connects ISIP to geographical parameters of a play (e.g., well location) or even more specific geological parameters. As an example, the map below shows the variation of mean ISIP gradient of numerous wells throughout a play and demonstrates an apparent geological pattern.
What are the parameters that influence ISIP the most?
Despite its significant influence, geology is not the only parameter affecting ISIP and there are plenty of other operational factors such as well orientation, completion method, fracturing technology, fracturing fluid, rate of injection, proppant volume, fracture spacing, etc. that may also influence ISIP.
Can we define models to relate ISIP to geology and operations?
In other words, can we implement machine learning algorithms to find meaningful models that can predict ISIP? Let's take a look at the results of an advanced algorithm that predicts ISIP from a number of geological and operational parameters for a random test sample of the data for numerous wells:
As the graph tells, despite all the possible variations and errors that we can imagine, ISIP can be predicted with a relatively good accuracy if we use the right geological and completion/fracturing parameters and proper modeling algorithms.
In our studies, geological character and predictability property of ISIP are used for field characterization, fracturing/production optimization and seismicity risk mitigation.

text: As with other socially-responsible industries, the real estate industry must be a part of addressing issues relating to communities and the environment. Towns and cities, as well as recreational developments, have environmental impacts and, with growing awareness of land use issues and pollution, the public requires both the public and private-sectors to collaborate to address these problems. Home ownership is also considered by many in a democratic society to be a right but, for many of the poor and disadvantaged, this becomes an unrealizable dream. Real estate professionals are conscious of these issues, including urban sprawl, and are exploring ways to help governments and communities to address them. This section provides a brief introduction to some of these important issues facing the real estate industry.

Kids sue Obama for violating their constitutional 'climate change' rights
Backed by an environmental group and climate activist James Hansen, 21 kids appeared in an Oregon District Court on Wednesday, part of a lawsuitagainst President Obama for encouraging the use of fossil fuels. They also claim this is leading to increased global warming, which is a violation of their constitutional rights. Similar to a suit that was filed last summer in Massachusetts, in which the judge threw out the case, the children aged 8 to 19 seek to hold "President Obama and various federal agencies responsible for continued fossil fuel exploitation" and the "alleged failure to prevent the harmful impact of climate change."
The suit was originally filed on August 12, 2015, and Judge Thomas Coffin heard oral arguments yesterday on whether to dismiss the climate change case brought by 21 young people from around the nation. The plaintiffs saythat the government has known for 50 years that using fossil fuels like oil and natural gas are causing global warming and that "continuing to burn fossil fuels would destabilize the climate system." They hope their case will put the science of global warming in "front of the federal judiciary" and show how the government has been complicit in exploiting the usage of these dino fuels.

Text Area fields - Line breaks removed when appending to thread via business rule
Answer ID 8578 | Last Review Date 04/01/2021
Why are the line breaks removed from my text area fields when they are inserted into the incident thread via a business rule?
Text Area type Custom Fields, Appended via Business Rules
Oracle B2C Service, All supported versions
When the contents of a text area or text field custom field are appended to the incident thread using variables, the line breaks are removed.
This behavior is expected because the text area custom fields store data in plain text format. When a variable is applied to a thread entry, the content of the variable is inserted as plain text content in an HTML environment. This removes the line breaks in the text area field and inserts everything as a single string.
The only ways to insert the contents of a text area field and keep the line breaks is to manually insert the appropriate line breaks in a thread entry while the thread editor is in rich text mode or insert at each line break in the custom field or change the thread type to plain text.
Text area will show content in plain text format.

An environmental compliance review evaluates the operations and equipment at a property, determines the applicable environmental requirements, identifies where gaps exist, and presents a pathway to compliance. Compliance gaps may be caused by many factors, including acquisition of new operations, the continuous development of new environmental regulations, facility growth or expansion, and personnel changes resulting in loss of inherent knowledge.
- Electrical Generators
- Fluorescent Light Bulb, Battery, and Used Oil Disposal
- Stormwater Discharges
- Refrigerant / Coolant Use
- Storage of Common Materials
The above operations and equipment may trigger air permit requirements, EPA NESHAP requirements, water discharge permitting, spill plan development, waste disposal management requirements, and EPCRA reporting requirements. While understood and proactively managed by large industrial facilities, these regulations often are not well communicated to other business sectors and may represent unidentified liabilities.
Examples of gaps identified and remediated by Nova during past reviews at non-industrial properties include:
To support a client's liability assessment and management processes during due diligence, Nova designs environmental compliance support that aligns with the level of risk presented by a property. Commonly as an extension of a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment, but also as a stand-alone effort, Nova conducts Limited Environmental Compliance Reviews for residential, commercial, institutional, and light industrial properties. These reviews determine applicable requirements and identify compliance gaps. They are commonly conducted within the typical timeframe of due diligence efforts and are scoped to ensure cost-effective identification of primary concerns that present real liabilities. Nova then works with the client to develop corrective actions to ensure sustainable compliance.
Due diligence efforts to identify compliance liabilities have been a standard tool used by industry professionals for many years. When appropriately tailored to a client's needs, Nova's Limited Environmental Compliance Reviews are valuable for a wide range of property types.

The unique structure of Concrete Cloth GCCM makes it easy to install for a variety of applications, such as channel lining, slope protection and containment. It can be hung vertically, laid in trenches or cut and formed into irregular shapes. Unlike regular concrete, Concrete Cloth materials can be installed in the rain and other wet conditions, which virtually eliminates project rescheduling. It has a low alkaline reserve and a low wash rate for a minimal ecological impact.
The material is available in three thicknesses that come in bulk rolls or small portable batch rolls.
It is typically used to replace conventional concretes, riprap, shotcretes and some geotechnical fabrics for a wide range of erosion control and protection applications.
The most common examples include: ditch lining, slope stabilization, secondary berm protection, culvert invert protection and geosynthetic liner protection.
When stored in the manufacturer's packaging, Concrete Cloth material can be kept for up to 12 months after shipment without a significant decrease in performance capabilities.
Concrete Cloth material will start to lose its performance capabilities once opened and should be used within a few days to prevent any significant decline. It is a best practice to reseal any packaging after opening it to extend the shelf life as much as possible.
The material can be hydrated using saline or non-saline water, and the water does not need to be potable. The minimum ratio of water to Concrete Cloth material is 1:2 by weight. It cannot be over-hydrated, so an excess of water is always recommended.
Water may be pumped from an available water source in the installation area or trucked in via a water truck. Most contractors choose to bring in water with a water truck or use a local water source.
It is not possible to over-hydrate Concrete Cloth material, but if under-hydrated the material will not reach its full strength and the setting time may be prolonged. The material will fully hydrate underwater from immersion.
The thickness you need depends on the application. Contact us for assistance with your specific application. Widths, sizes and weights/thicknesses are listed on our data sheets and product pages.
Concrete Cloth material is supplied in its natural color, mottled grey. The fiber surface of the material can easily be colored by painting with reputable exterior masonry paint.

Investigation into laser re-melting of inconel 625 HVOF coating blended with WC
Al-Taha, Zuhair Y. (2009) Investigation into laser re-melting of inconel 625 HVOF coating blended with WC. PhD thesis, Dublin City University.
Full text available as:
High velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying of Diamalloy 1005 powders mixed with WC particles onto steel (304) is considered and laser re-melting of the resulting coatings is examined. Laser re-melting process is modeled to determine the melt layer thickness while temperature increase is formulated using the Fourier heating law. The morphological and metallurgical analyses prior and post laser re-melting process are carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique is used to determine the residual stress developed in the coating while the analytical formulation is adopted to predict the residual stress levels at the coating base material interface. The indentation tests are carried out to determine the Young's modulus and fracture toughness of the coating prior to laser re-melting. Corrosion resistance of coating is measured using potentiodynamic polarization technique prior and post laser treatment process. The predictions of the melt layer thickness are in good agreement with experimental results. The presence of WC particles modifies temperature rise and its gradient in the coating while affecting the Young's modulus, residual stress levels, and fracture toughness of the coating. The differences in the thermal properties of Inconel 625 powders and WC particles result in formation of small size cellular structure through polyphase solidification. WC dissolution in the central region of the large polycrystalline cells is observed due to the loss of carbon through carbonic gas formation. The results of corrosion tests prevail that significant improvement of corrosion resistance can be achieved after laser treatment process.

The circumzenithal arc or Bravais' arc is an optical phenomenon similar in appearance to a rainbow. However, it arises from refraction of sunlight through horizontally oriented ice crystals within cirrus clouds. The ice crystals in the cirrus clouds are generally hexagonal. A fair amount of cirrus clouds from an associated thunderstorm complex located out across Missouri were streaming southward through Kentucky Friday afternoon. Typically these arcs form no more than one quarter of a circle centered on the zenith and on the same side as the sun. The colors are inverted from your typical rainbow with blue on the inside to red on the outside of the arc.
This photo was taken Friday afternoon near Rineyville, KY.


text: Surface and core formation, thermal and electronic properties of ternary cubic CdZnTe clusters are investigated by using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT.) calculations. In this work, MD simulations of the CdZnTe clusters are performed by means of LAMMPS by using bond order potential (BOP). MD simulations are carried out at different temperatures to study the segregation phenomena of Cd, Zn and Te atoms, and deviation of clusters and heat capacity. After that, using optimized geometries obtained, excess charge on atoms, dipole moments, highest occupied molecular orbitals, lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals, HOMO-LUMO gaps (E-g), total energies, spin density and the density of states (DOS) have been calculated with DFT. Simulation results such as heat capacity and segregation formation are compared with experimental bulk and theoretical results.

Why Garden with Insight is not for sale
A little history
We started out wanting to make a garden simulation that was educational, entertaining, and easy to use, that covered all major aspects of gardening, and was accurate. We wanted to sell the garden simulator and make a profit so we could invest the profit in other educational simulations in the future. While we still have hopes of selling a future version of Garden with Insight, for the moment we are giving this version away.
We decided to work with EPIC (Erosion/Productivity Impact Calculator), an agricultural simulation created by the USDA Agricultural Research Service because 1) it was well respected and validated; 2) it covered some of the aspects we wanted to simulate; 3) it came with large data sets; and 4) it was publicly available. At first we tried to use the EPIC model as a reference, but we found that the documentation left large gaps that only the source code could explain, and the source code was so difficult to follow that to understand it we had to translate it. So one of us spent nearly a year translating nearly the entire EPIC model from FORTRAN to C++. In retrospect, translating the whole EPIC model was a wrong turn for two main reasons.
 - EPIC emphasizes water and wind erosion very strongly, and devotes a lot of complex code to detailed simulations of water movement and runoff. But in a small garden, erosion is not important enough to merit all that attention. On the other hand, simulating home gardening does require a fairly complex plant growth model, to harvest individual cucumbers, for example; but the EPIC plant growth model is very simple and has major gaps (no flowering model, for example). So we spent a lot of time translating source code that we didn't need, and had to write a lot of code that EPIC didn't have.
 - EPIC, like most agricultural models in FORTRAN, is extremely difficult to read and understand from a programmer's point of view. And the EPIC source code is about 17,000 lines of FORTRAN. In addition, our backgrounds were not in soil science, so we were learning as we went. The result is that even after translating EPIC and modifying it for the home garden, we still understand it only incompletely and feel that our adaptation of it is barely adequate.
We also made some other mistakes along the way, including: 1) using Windows instead of the Macintosh (we knew the Mac better but went with Windows because of the larger market); 2) using Delphi instead of Smalltalk (which is better suited for creating simulations) because of licensing fees; 3) being too ambitious about what to include in our first version (we should have started smaller); 4) doing too little user testing; and 5) working in too much isolation.
What we've got now
Version 1.0 of Garden with Insight is finally complete, but it is neither as accurate, comprehensive, or easy to use as we had hoped. For these reasons, we think it will have a small market. It doesn't fit well into any existing niches: it's not a simple program, or a modeling environment, or a database, or a game, or a garden planner. While we think the program has merit as a microworld, that niche is not very well developed. Nor is the program extendible enough (e.g., via a built-in programming language) to be a true microworld.
People tend to have specific expectations about software based on other products on the market that appear similar on the surface. In talking with people, we have frequently got these responses.
 - Home gardeners ask, "Will it help me plan my garden? Does it have [name of specific plant]?"
 - Teachers ask, "Will it fit into my restricted curriculum and short class periods?"
 - Kids ask, "Is it a game? How do you win?"
 - Academic researchers ask, "How can it be serious if it has a cute front end?"
 - Funding agencies and foundations ask, "Why should we give you money when you can just sell the product?"
Of course, these are stereotyped responses (and a lot of people do like the product for what it is). It would take a significant investment to shift these perceptions or address them in other ways (by splitting the product, for example). We could certainly address some of these issues by focusing the product more clearly, doing more user testing, writing a teachers' guide, and investing in some expensive marketing about the value of microworlds and the insights they provide. At the moment we don't have the resources to do these things. So the strategy we've adopted is to let the product slowly percolate through the culture on its own by making it freely available.
Possible plans
If we are able in the future to continue work on this project, we plan to create two new products, described as follows.
 - The first product would be a simple, appealing product that teaches organic gardening. This product would have a graphical interface somewhat like the garden window in the existing product, but would cover more of the gardening experience. Elements would include testing the soil, getting weather reports, trading with neighbors, getting advice from the library, selling produce in a market, dealing with insects and animals (both beneficial and pest), thinking about where food comes from and how it is produced, and seeing the long-term negative effects of pesticide use. The program's models would be very simple, probably combining rule-based systems and fuzzy logic with simple growth functions. We would use what we have learned in making the existing product to create these simplified models.
 - The second product would be a simulation development system for gardening, agriculture, and other scientific areas. One of the most important things we have learned while making this simulation is that we have learned more about gardening than anyone can learn while using our program, because we learned by writing the program. The logical extension of the existing program is a modeling environment where the user starts by constructing simple models, then progresses to more complex simulations. The modeling environment would include facilities for graphing and statistical analysis, and a debugger and source code control system. (Probably both of these next-generation products would be written in Smalltalk.)
The bottom line
Creating next-generation products based on Garden with Insight in the future is not incompatible with giving it away today. Actually, the name recognition from Garden with Insight may help us to raise funds or sell other educational simulations in the future. Also, we think the general benefit of releasing understandable source code based on EPIC will greatly outweigh the small private benefit to us of selling the product (and thus limiting distribution and use of the source code).
The licenses we have considered in releasing the program and source code are as follows:
 - an absolutely free public-domain license (redistribution and reuse are permitted in any form) like that used with Python;
 - a license that permits redistribution of the source code but only if changes to the base system are made available to all (like the Apple educational object economy license for Squeak Smalltalk);
 - a General Public License (GPL), or copyleft, where redistribution is permitted and all work done using the code must also be redistributable (see the GNU GPL web site for details);
 - a license like that used with Inform (an interactive fiction authoring system) where you can use the source code but cannot redistribute it with any substantial changes; and
 - a license that allows anyone to download the source code from our web site but only use it on one computer and never redistribute it in any form.
We have chosen the GNU General Public License because we want to preserve the possibility of third parties licensing the code from us for their own commercial efforts, and also because we want an open evolving system for researchers and educators to improve (and the GPL forces university researchers to keep their improvements public).
In conclusion
Just because we have decided to use the GPL for this version doesn't mean we think people shouldn't charge for (or pay for) software. When people pay for software, they usually also get upgrades, technical support, printed documentation, and convenience. Still, we also think it would be nice if there were more free educational software supported by foundations, the government and schools, since education is a public good.

How do I import my recipes from Now You're Cooking?
You can either follow these instructions below or use CB2CB to convert your recipes.
To import recipes from Now You're Cooking you need to use the Export Recipes command from the File menu in Now You're Cooking. That command is not activated until you close the recipes. Use the Generic Text File setting. It will create a text file on your computer.
You then will need to edit that text file so the recipes are in a format that MasterCook can import. Open and edit that text file with Windows NOTEPAD. Do NOT use Word.
MasterCook can import several recipes within one text file as long as they are in a basic format such as this example:
Glazed Spiced Pecans
2 1/2 cups pecans
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon rum flavoring or vanilla
Heat nuts at 250 F for 15 min. Blend and cook sugar, water, salt and spices to soft ball stage. Do not stir. Add flavoring. Stir in nuts until creamy and coated. Turn onto wax paper, separating as they cool.
Notes: unknown, Knoxville, Tennessee
Use the above example, you start out with 5 @ symbols on one line. Then have a blank line. Then a line with the recipe title. Followed by another blank line. Then lines of ingredients. Followed by another blank line. Then paragraphs of directions. Then another five @ symbols to let MasterCook know another recipe follows.
Set up all the recipes like this in the text file. Then use the Import command from the File menu in MasterCook. Direct it to this text file that you created using the instructions above.
- It's important that the blank lines are completely blanks (no spaces even) since it tells MasterCook the breaks between recipe parts.
- The five @ symbols are important because they tell MasterCook when a new recipe begins.
- No other text should be on the line with the @ symbols.
- All text needs to be aligned to the left with no indentations.
- Do NOT use fraction symbols. They must be three characters instead, such as 1/2.
