I understand that both are similar in structure
But how can they be easily identified as one or the other?
Is it simply based on the presence or lack of a named root (the root is identified as a particular ancestor) or outgroup?

At which "stage" do you want to identify the tree? When it's a file (Newick), or when it's a drawn figure? – Michael Kuhn Dec 15 '11 at 8:32
I'd say a drawn figure? Like something you would find on a google search for phylogenetic tree (images.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=phylogenetic%20tree) – arcyqwerty Dec 15 '11 at 8:36

In case of a drawn figure, either look for the a short stem to the left, or for an explicitly labelled outgroup. Trees derived from phylogenetic analyses are unrooted by default, you need to root it by either making an arbitrary (but hopefully informed) decision or by adding an outgroup.

So when you say root it by making an arbitrary decision, does that mean labeling a particular ancestral individual as a root? Also, does this consider midpoint rooting? – arcyqwerty Dec 15 '11 at 8:43
Midpoint root is certainly one of the ways you can choose to root your tree. IMHO rooting a tree of species or proteins without an outgroup is done by adding an extra root node. – Michael Kuhn Dec 15 '11 at 8:45
And just to clarify, how would the 'extra root node' appear on a diagram? As just a labeled point from where the rest of the tree branches off from? – arcyqwerty Dec 15 '11 at 8:47
Usually, there's a short stem going in a different direction than all the other leaves. But a labelled point is also fine, I guess – Michael Kuhn Dec 15 '11 at 8:51
Ok, thanks for your help :) – arcyqwerty Dec 15 '11 at 8:51

Trees can not be distinguished from each other because every unrooted tree can be made rooted by adding a root and vice versa by deletion.
If you mean dendrograms... the root is always the one node where the distance to each leaf is the same. But I don't know of an unrooted dendrogram.
share|improve this answer
Yes, but how would I be able to tell whether or not a tree has a root Like how to tell between an unrooted tree and a midpoint rooted tree? – arcyqwerty Dec 15 '11 at 8:30
If you really mean trees. They are not distinguishable. – peri4n Dec 15 '11 at 8:36

It is estimated that 300 million people use Google every day in their quest to find information on the web. Imagine having the ability to not only search online text files for specific words but also to search audio files for specific sounds. Thanks in part to Messiah College Engineering Professor Randy Fish, that technology is now patented.
Fish and a team of five others have spent the past seven years perfecting and patenting "audio hot spotting," a search engine technology that allows users to search audio files for a specific word or phrase, a particular speaker, a speaker's tone, or characteristics like laughter and applause.
This type of "audio hot spotting" might, for example, be helpful to a user who only wants to hear the portions of a speech that caused an audience to react with applause or laughter.
The challenge, according to Fish, was developing the artificial intelligence algorithms able to discern emotion in a voice, regardless of whether the voice is male or female, and to recognize applause and laughter generically.
Other systems attempt this type of audio searching, Fish says, but only this patented system gives users access to emotions and non-speaking sounds in addition to searching on what was said or who said it.

Medai (Hyperoglyphe japonica)
Hyperoglphe japonica, the Pacific barrelfish or medai. Image Credit: Ben Young Landis/CC-BY)
"And also tonight we have bluenose."
The name caught my ear. I had never heard of such a fish. Yet here was the chef listing it as part of today's specials, to the sushi bar patron to the right of me.
Time to google. The cell signal was poor in this elegantly refitted, brick-walled building, and the photos loaded slowly.
I held up the phone. "Sensei, is this the fish?"
The Google.
The Google.
"Yeah, looks like that!"
Bluenose, the Google explained, referred to Hyperoglyphe antarctica, which is being marketed as "bluenose sea bass" (ah, sea bass, that pesky catch-all term again) or "Antarctic butterfish", while FishBase listed its United Nations records name as "bluenose warehou".
"In Japanese, we call it me-dai. We got this from Kyushu."
Kyushu is the third largest island of Japan, located to the nation's southwest, and close to the Korean Peninsula. Kyushu city names that might be familiar to American ears include Kumamoto—source of the famed oyster species—and Nagasaki—site of the second atomic attack in human history.
But the Kyushu location threw my original identification in doubt. The listed localities for "bluenose" are in the Southern Hemisphere, in the seas off of South America, southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
So when eating Japanese, speak as the Japanese. Another Google search—this time including the Japanese name, medai—turned up the correct identity for the sashimi now presented before me.
Hyperoglyphe japonica at the Izu Mido Sea Paradise aquarium. Image Source:
Medai is the Japanese name for Hyperoglyphe japonica, a very close relative of the bluenose—and as you can see, they are very similar in appearance. Medai, however, are only found in the seas around Japan.
The words medai is written in kanji characters as 目鯛, with "me-" (目) meaning "eye" and "-dai" (鯛) being the term in Japanese for snappers and porgies, but also as a general term for other similarly shaped fish (see previous stories on ishidai and onaga-dai).
"Eye" of course is referring to the large, round, doll-like eyes of this sleek but otherwise generic-looking fish:
The name
The name "medai" refers to the relatively large eyes of the species, Hyperoglyphe japonica. Image Source:
Taxonomically, medai and bluenose are not snappers nor porgies, but their generic-looking bodies belie some pretty strange things about the group they do belong to.
Medai and bluenose belong to the Family Centrolophidae–known as the medusafishes and barrelfishes in English. They're called this because as young fish, many species hide under drifting seaweed or floating debris like barrels—while other species live among the bells and tentacles of jellyfish (or "medusa" as they are called classically, as if jellyfish were the mythical medusa's head of deadly hair, drifting about the sea without a body).
And so these baby fish float out in the open sea, growing up in these mobile nurseries, feeding on different critters in the debris. The juveniles have cartoonishly large, snub-nosed heads, until they grow larger and stretch out into more "fishy" shapes, at which time they swim down to deeper waters to live. Medai can grow to 3 feet (90 cm) and are found around in depths of 500 feet (150m) or more.
As adults, medai do retain that snub-nosed look—a look that unites a broader group of fishes they belong to, the Stromateoidei. Ichthyologist Richard L. Haedrich, in his 1967 review of this odd taxonomic group, writes with a wink about their shared facial bone structure:
There is no mistaking the "stromateoid look"…once recognized, the stromateoid expression is not likely to be forgotten. It is a fat-nosed, wide-eyed, stuffed up look, smug and at the same time apprehensive. Some stromateoids might even be accused of a certain prissiness.
Haedrich's review (which, for you fish geeks out there, is a great piece of natural history writing) mentions the other characteristic uniting this taxonomic group: they all have a "pharyngeal sac" in the back of their throat.
Imagine if you had a little fleshy sac in the back of your throat, filled with soft teeth like a cat's tongue, which chewed up your food a little before you swallowed it. That's what all these stromatoid fishes have, to different extents: medai have less toothy sacs, while other stromateoids have more complexly toothed sacs (Doiuchi and Nakabo 2006).
What was this sac originally evolved for? This appears to still be an unanswered question, since the diet of stromateoid fishes are not well known. Ironically, jellyfish might also be the answer here. Haedrich speculates:
Shelter is not all the jellyfish provide. Many stromateoids have been observed actively feeding on their hosts…the diagnostic pharyngeal sacs of stromateoids may have been perfected partially in response to this sort of diet.
As in somehow, this pre-chewing process facilitates digestion of jellyfish tissue, as one presumes that the gelatinous and often toxin-injecting tissue of jellies might be a little hard on a stomach, unprocessed.
Speaking of chewing, I've probably fed you more science than you can digest in one sitting. I certainly learned a lot from this happenstance introduction to a new species, let alone getting into all the strange details of a whole group of fishes. Of course, I also enjoyed tasting medai sashimi for the first time—it has a delicate but firmly muscled texture like that of snapper and other tai, but has a more buttery, sweeter taste more akin to hamachi and other fishes of the jack family (in fact, medai is sometimes passed off as higher-priced species like hamachi by dishonest merchants; see Iguchi et al. 2012).
Now let's go catch some medai.

Gunshot Audio Classification
A proof-of-concept machine learning project for first responders, to detect the sound of a gunshot
Created By: Swapnil Verma
On May 24, 2022, nineteen students and two teachers were fatally shot, and seventeen others were wounded at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, United States. An 18-year-old gunman entered the elementary school and started shooting kids and teachers with a semi-automatic rifle. The sad part is that it is not a one-off event. Gun violence including mass shootings is a real problem, especially in the USA.
Deaths due to gun violence in 2022
Deaths due to gun violence in 2022
Gun violence is a massive problem and I alone can not solve it, but I can definitely contribute an engineering solution toward hopefully minimizing casualties.
Here I am proposing a proof of concept to identify gun sounds using a low-cost system and inform emergency services as soon as possible. Using this system, emergency services can respond to a gun incident as quickly as possible thus hopefully minimizing casualties.
My low-cost proof of concept uses multiple microcontroller boards with microphones to capture sound. They use a TinyML algorithm prepared using Edge Impulse to detect any gunshot sound. Upon a positive detection, the system sends a notification to registered services via an MQTT broker.
To learn more about the working of the system, please check out the Software section.
The hardware I am using is:
- Arduino Portenta H7
- Arduino Nano BLE Sense
- 9V Battery
In the current hardware iteration, the Arduino Nano BLE Sense is powered by a 9V battery and the Portenta H7 is powered via a laptop, because I am also using the serial port on the Portenta H7 to debug the system.
The software is divided into 2 main modules:
- Machine Learning
The machine learning module uses a tinyML algorithm prepared using Edge Impulse. This module is responsible for identifying gunshot sounds. It takes sound as input and outputs its classification.
After preparing the dataset, we need to design an impulse. The Edge Iimpulse documentation explains the impulse design in great detail so please check out their documentation page to learn about impulse design.
As you can see, I have selected MFCC as the preprocessing block, and classification as the learning block. I have used the default parameters for the MFCC preprocessing. For training, I have slightly modified the default neural network architecture. I have used three 1D convolutional CPD layers with 8, 16 and 24 neurons, respectively. The architecture is illustrated in the below image.
Neural Network Architecture
Add an Extra Layer
I trained the model for 5000 iterations with a 0.0005 learning rate. My final model has 94.5% accuracy.
The Edge Impulse Studio's Model testing tab enables a developer to test the model immediately. It uses the data from the test block and performs the inference using the last trained model. My model had 91.3% accuracy on the test data.
One nice feature Edge Impulse provides is versioning. You can version your project (like Git) to store all data, configuration, intermediate results and final models. You can revert back to earlier versions of your impulse by importing a revision into a new project. I use this feature every time before changing the neural network architecture. That way I don't have to retrain or keep a manual record of the previous architecture.
After completing the training, it's time for deployment. The Deployment tab of the Edge Impulse Studio provides three main ways of deploying the model onto hardware: (a) by creating a library (b) by building firmware, and (c) by running it on a computer or a mobile phone directly. I knew that I need more functionality from my Arduino hardware apart from inferencing, so I created a library instead of building firmware.
Just select the type of library you want, and click the Build button at the bottom of the page. This will build a library and download it onto your computer. After downloading, it will also show a handy guide to include this library in your IDE.
Adding a Library
The coolest part is that I don't need to retrain the model or do anything extra to deploy the same model onto multiple devices. The examples of the downloaded library will have example code for all the supported devices of the same family.
Just select an example as a getting started code, modify it according to your need and flash it. The Arduino Nano BLE Sense and Portenta H7 use the same model generated by Edge Impulse. I trained the model only once, agnostic of the hardware and deployed it on multiple devices which is a time saver.
Inferencing is the process of running a neural network model to generate output. The image below shows the inference pipeline.
Gunshot Detection Pipeline
The microphones in the Nano BLE Sense and Portenta H7 pick up the surrounding sound (stages 1 & 2). The sound data is then preprocessed using the MFCC block (stage 3). The preprocessed data is then sent to a Convolutional Neural Network block (stage 4) which classifies it into either the gunshot class or the other class (stage 5).
To learn more about the project please follow the below link.
The output of the machine learning module is then processed before sending it to the cloud via the Communication module.
This module is responsible for sharing information between boards and sending positive predictions to the registered emergency services.
The Nano BLE Sense sends its inference to the Portenta H7 via BLE. The Portenta H7 then sends the positive output (i.e. detection of gunshot sound) of its inference and Nano BLE's inference to a subscriber via MQTT. I have used the cloudMQTT broker for this project.
To download the software please use the below link:
My testing setup and the result are illustrated in the video below. The system is connected to my laptop which is also performing the screen recording. On the upper left side, we have an Arduino serial window which is showing the output from the Portenta H7, and on the lower left hand, we have an audio player. On the right-hand side, we have cloudMQTT's WebSocket UI, which shows the incoming notification via MQTT. The sound for this video is played and recorded using my laptop's speaker and microphone.
In the video above I am playing different categories of sound and one of that categories is a gunshot. The system outputs the classification result to the Arduino serial port whenever it detects a sound from the other class but does not send it to the receiver. The moment it detects a gunshot sound, it immediately sends a notification to the receiver via CloudMQTT.

The results are presented concerning the experimental studies of noise and vibration spectra during abrasive treatment of welded joints of the body and rod structures. Welding is related to one of the most popular technologies for joining metal structures. One of the mandatory steps after welding operations is the weld dressing. Mechanical grinding of the weld after welding due to its accessibility is very popular. The studies were carried out both at manual abrasive treatment of the welds, and on the flat-grinding machines in the open space, and in the conditions of industrial premises. In the course of experimental studies, dangerous and harmful production factors arising during welded structures processing were established. The spectral composition of the acoustic characteristics was identified. Based on the results of measurements, the empirical dependence was obtained related to the vibration reduction depending on the distance to the source on the rod elements and body structures. The obtained data are confirmed by the correctness of theoretical conclusions on the regularities of the formation of noise and vibration spectra, as well as the contribution of noise sources to the sound field at the operator workplace. The results of the research allow to confirm the appropriateness of the theoretical approach to the description of the regularities of the noise and vibration process.
The established regularities in the formation of noise spectra, as well as the fact that the difference in the calculated and experimental sound pressure levels actually correspond to the measurement errors, allow to perform acoustic noise protection systems at the design stage of similar technological processes in accordance with the sanitary noise norms at the operator workplaces.

It's something we've all been through. You and your roommate have been living together for 36 hours and it's become almost impossible to ignore the massive elephant in the room. You killed as much time as you could by talking about the admitted students' days at other colleges you were accepted to, stripping naked and comparing the sizes of your Intel Science Fair trophies, etc. But it's been eating you up inside, and finally you just have to ask: is your roommate also a valedictorian? Here are some tips on how to navigate "The Talk."
- Make sure you are both comfortable enough with each other to have "The Talk." It's important to you show your roommate you have a vulnerable side before revealing the full extent of your megalomania. Try telling them about some bullshit time when you experienced failure and how you pretended to learn from it, like when you were doing a group presentation and realized you couldn't do it all by yourself because your group was greater than the sum of its parts but also because everyone was required to present at least one slide so you stood in the back of the room with phonetic cue cards and hoped that Brett wouldn't butcher the pronunciation of "momentous" as badly as he did in rehearsal. See – social interaction isn't all that different from writing your application essays!
- Read the room(mate). You might be able to gauge whether your roommate was a valedictorian just from context clues. For example, tell them your favorite song is "Pomp and Circumstance" and that you need to listen to it every night in order to fall asleep. If your roommate does not immediately echo this sentiment and don their graduation robes as pajamas, chances are they weren't a valedictorian. You can tell for sure by staying awake and listening to see if they recite their valedictory address in their sleep. If they don't, either they're not a valedictorian or Pavlov was full of shit!
- Play it cool. While saying something like "Please tell me you were worthwhile enough as a human being to be your high school valedictorian, like me" seems polite because you said "Please," such direct phrasing might come off as rude. Instead, try saying something a bit more passive, like "Hey. Just wondering if you felt like telling me if you were valedictorian or not. Okay, never mind. I'm sorry I even asked." The best way to be polite is to always apologize in advance for everything.
Now here's the difficult part: what if your roommate isn't a valedictorian? Well, first off, you can always hope they went to one of those wishy-washy snowflake high schools that don't have ranks or valedictorians because they are worried about "anxiety" and "depression." But even then, you'll have no way to assure that they would've been valedictorian if their school did have them. Worst comes to worst, remember that being valedictorian isn't everything. Because at the end of the day, if they're not a valedictorian, it means their parents have a lot of money. And isn't that what matters most of all?

Get access to games that arent even available yet. Reports have shown that VPNs can reduce ping times speeding up your online gaming reducing the risk of lag and letting you enjoy stronger and more consistent performance in your favorite titles.
It also means you are paying for a certain bandwidth.
Does using a vpn increase ping. Improving ping would mean that the ping speed youre getting is the lowest possible. Rather it leads to an increase your actual ping due to the delays in transferring your data to a server getting the response and then transmitting it back to you. Ping times could be reduced in this scenario.
Using a VPN will always increase your ping time. Improve lag and reduce ping by using a faster server connection. Heres everything you need to know to get the BEST POSSIBLE ping time.
Basically VPN packets tend to take a more direct route than your normal ISP packet. Because a VPN service may slow down your Internet connection due to encryption you can minimize damages by enabling split tunneling. No a VPN service will not be able to improve your ping.
This difference is less noticeable when connecting to a VPN server either near your location or near the location of the server you connect to. A VPN can surely decrease your ping millisecond. It will be much better if you change your DNS settings or your ISP.
Using a VPN connection to play an online game is much better than using internet connections provided by ISP. 12K views Answer requested by. Heres how it all works.
Thats because of the inevitable delays as when on a VPN your data first gets transferred to a server. Gamers are always looking for ways to improve their ping times and a virtual private network VPN might be the answer. In order to get the best ping results when using a VPN the general rule is to connect to a VPN server as close as possible to where the target server eg.
Ideally anything below a ping of 20ms is considered to be great while anything above 150ms is reflected as a noticeable lag. Instead it can even lead to an increase in your actual ping. It is quite handy for reducing ping time.
The two network devices will communicate more effectively if the ping is lower. A good VPN allows the information to flow freely from the computer to the server the game is being played on. Of course a VPN does offer privacy and security as well.
Split tunneling is a technique used for filtering apps to control VPN and non-VPN traffic. VPN is nothing more than a dedicated routing service more often than not a better routing provider than your existing ISP. Server load and network problems can complicate this however which is why you might want to run ping tests on a number of different servers.
Generally speaking a VPN isnt going to serve as a reliable way to increase internet speeds unless youre dealing with some very specific causes. A VPN certainly decreases the ping that people suffer in their online games. VPN packets usually take a more direct route as compared to that of your normal ISP packet.
A VPN increases your ping because it adds extra steps to your internet traffic reaching its destination making it longer and more complicated. Simply put it VPN will only improve the ms ping and packet loss if you have a bad ISP with bad routing using a VPN on a dial-up will not magically makes your internet connection faster. If you are using a dedicated circuit-type VPN that means your ISP is providing you with a path through the Internet.
Internet Service Providers always influence your ping based on the internet speed they provide. This means that with a VPN you will have both a smoother and faster internet connection. A VPN can certainly decrease the ping you have in your online games.
Your games server is physically located. Depending on the location of the VPN server you can get ping times that are almost as fast as without a VPN. Choose a VPN server close to your geographical location for the lowest possible ping time.
In fact when there are many users all connected to the same server you may want to move to another one in the same location. If you are using a site-to-site type VPN then your ISP is unaware you have setup a VPN. All you have to do is to connect to a suitable VPN server.
A good VPN service should allow the information to flow more freely from your computer to the server of the game you are playing. A VPN decreases the ping rate of your online games. Can a VPN Improve Ping.
Using a VPN for gaming helps you. Just want to measure the ping to a specific site or server. But if you end up signing up with the wrong provider you wont see an improvement in your ping.
The answer is yes if you go with a right VPN thats fast and secure. Windows users can do so by opening the Command Prompt and typing ping followed by a space and then a URL or IP address. So even if it wont speed up your internet in many cases it still is an excellent investment.

MagAssemble LLC is a start-up company commercializing Pattern Transfer NanomanufacturingTM, a technology developed in the laboratory of Dr. Thomas M. Crawford at the University of South Carolina.
Using Pattern Transfer NanoManufacturing (PTNM™) platform, MagAssemble manufactures nano-to-micro scale custom patterns with ~10 nanometer resolution and nanometer-to-centimeter areas to create optical coatings and diffractive optical elements. The MagAssemble nanomanufacturing process creates templates which organize ferrous nanoparticles (~10 nm diameter) into nanopartice patterns. These nanoparticle patterns can then be used to create both simple and complex optical designs/functionalities for optical systems such as fiber optics, lenses, and optical sensors. The nanopatterns can be directly built into not only flat surfaces of Si, glass, fused silica and optical fibers to create high quality, robust and miniaturized optical components, but also curve surfaces of lenses to reduce design complexity and component weight. These functionalities can be realized without sacrificing PTNM's low cost and simplicity, which commercial alternatives currently can't provide. MagAssemble has demonstrated prototype PTNM™ optical coatings, high efficiency reflection Si and transmission SiO2 diffraction gratings, and pump (980 nm)-signal (C band) combiners


php implementation code for reading large files
 - 2020-05-27 04:38:17
 - OfStack
In php, the fastest way to read a file is to use some functions such as file, file_get_contents, and so on. A few lines of code can do what we need very nicely. However, when the operating file is a relatively large file, these functions may be inadequate, the following will start with a requirement to explain the common operation method for reading large files.
There is a log file of 800M, which has more than 5 million lines, and php returns the last few lines.
Implementation method
1. Directly use file function to operate
Note: as file function is all content of one sex will read into memory, and php written 1 in order to prevent some poor program takes up too much memory and lead to system memory is insufficient, the server downtime, so by default only maximum 16 M USES memory, this is done through php. ini memory_limit = 16 M to set, in this value if set to 1, the memory usage is not restricted.
The following is a snippet of code using file to fetch the last line of the file.
The entire code takes _PHONE_ (s) to complete.
$fp = fopen($file, "r");
$num = 10;
$chunk = 4096;
$fs = sprintf("%u", filesize($file));
$max = (intval($fs) == PHP_INT_MAX)? PHP_INT_MAX : filesize($file);
for ($len = 0; $len < $max; $len += $chunk) {
$seekSize = ($max - $len > $chunk)? $chunk : $max - $len;
fseek($fp, ($len + $seekSize) * -1, SEEK_END);
$readData = fread($fp, $seekSize). $readData;
if (substr_count($readData, "\n") >= $num + 1) {
preg_match("!(.*?\n){".($num)."}$!", $readData, $match);
$data = $match[0];
echo $data;
My machine is 2 G memory, when press F5 operation, system directly gray, nearly 20 minutes to recover, visible all such a big file read into memory directly, how much is serious, so not all may not, memory_limit this things can't be too high, otherwise just make a phone call to the room, let the reset machine.
2. Directly call linux's tail command to display the last few lines
From the linux command line, you can use tail-n 10 access.log to easily display the last few lines of the log file. You can use php to invoke the tail command.
The entire code execution takes 0.0034 (s)
file = 'access.log';
$file = escapeshellarg($file); // Secure escape of command line arguments
$line = 'tail -n 1 $file';
echo $line;
3. Directly use fseek of php for file operation
This is the most common method, which does not need to read all the contents of the file into the content, but operates directly through the pointer, so the efficiency is quite efficient. There are many different methods to operate the file using fseek, and the efficiency may be slightly different.
Method 1
First, find the last bit of EOF through fseek, then find the starting position of the last row, take the data of this row, find the starting position of this row again, take the position of this row, and so on, until you find the $num row.
The implementation code is as follows
The entire code execution takes 0.0095 (s)
function tail($fp,$n,$base=5)
$pos = $n+1;
$lines = array();
while(count($lines)< =$n){
} catch (Exception $e){
$pos *= $base;
return array_slice($lines,0,$n);
Method 2
The method of fseek is still used to read from the end of the file, but instead of 1 bit and 1 bit, it is 1 block and 1 block. For each block of data read, the read data will be put into 1 buf, and then the number of line feed characters (\n) will be used to judge whether the last $num line data has been read.
The implementation code is as follows
The entire code takes 0.0009(s) to complete.
$line = 10;
$pos = -2;
$t = " ";
$data = "";
while ($line > 0) {
while ($t!= "\n") {
fseek($fp, $pos, SEEK_END);
$t = fgetc($fp);
$pos --;
$t = " ";
$data.= fgets($fp);
$line --;
fclose ($fp);
echo $data
Methods 3
The entire code execution takes 0.0003(s)
$file = 'access.log';
$data = file($file);
$line = $data[count($data)-1];
echo $line;

Hi Paul, During recovery, Derby replays all write operations performed after the last checkpoint and finally undoes all the operations performed by transactions that hadn't been committed at the time the database was taken down. If the database is shut down cleanly, a checkpoint will be invoked, so that there should be nothing to do in the recovery phase on the next start-up. If shutting down the database cleanly isn't an option, one way to reduce the recovery time is to increase the checkpoint frequency. Then there should be fewer operations to replay on the next start-up. This can be achieved by setting the (undocumented) database property, which specifies the maximum number of bytes of transaction log before a checkpoint is triggered. The default is 10MB. The minimum value accepted is 100000 bytes. However, you say that you see that recovery takes a very long time even if no operations were performed the last time the database was running, in which case there should be no operations to replay. Does the database's log directory contain many and/or big files? The files in that directory contain the transaction logs that need to be replayed on recovery. If there are many files there, it might be that you are running with log archive mode enabled (typically used when taking backups), which prevents old log from being deleted. You can check if that's the case by looking at the file in the database directory and see if it contains "". -- Knut Anders

Effects Of Postal Service Cuts Could Ripple Through Middle Class
Originally published on Sat February 9, 2013 12:11 pm
SCOTT SIMON, HOST:
The continued downsizing of the U.S. Postal Service has especially hit African-Americans and armed forces veterans. These are two groups that have long relied on postal jobs for a good income, job security and a path to the middle class. For more, we're joined by Philip Rubio. He's a former letter carrier who's now an assistant professor of history at North Carolina A&T State University and author of the book, "There's Always Work at the Post Office: African American Postal Workers and the Fight for Jobs, Justice and Equality."
Mr. Rubio, thanks for being with us.
PHILIP RUBIO: Thanks for having me, Scott.
SIMON: The U.S. Postal Service historically has been a large employer of African-Americans. Why is that?
RUBIO: Well, since 1865, since the end of the Civil War, it became a job magnet for African-Americans. Oftentimes, when they couldn't find work in the private sector, especially in the South when textile mills appear and they're only hiring whites or industrial jobs are only open to blacks, you know, the most dirty, dangerous or menial. But 1865's a date when they're actually able to start working.
SIMON: And this history has persisted into our time?
RUBIO: Yes. It was a place where African-Americans could find jobs to pursue while they were trying to find work, maybe in their chosen profession. Maybe they had degrees. It was not uncommon for doctors, lawyers and dentists, or people trying to get those, the graduate and professional degrees, to be working for the post office.
SIMON: And the post office, I guess, has been kind of a job magnet for veterans too?
RUBIO: Yes, it has. Since the Civil War, you know, with veterans' preferences for disabled veterans and, you know, that was a way for the federal government, you know, to tell veterans thank you for your service. The number one government agency was the post office. It was a secure job, the wages were decent, and so with each, you know, with each succeeding war, for instance, you get a lot of veterans coming back.
SIMON: And this has persisted to this day too?
RUBIO: It has. At one point, let's say, I think by 1948, half of all postal workers were veterans. It's down around 31 percent today because not as many people serve in the military, but it's still the biggest employer of veterans.
SIMON: How has working for the post office been for many a kind of gateway into the middle class?
RUBIO: Well, it provided a middle-class status for African-Americans especially. The fact that you had - the pay wasn't always great, but it was regular and with benefits and job security you could accumulate wealth. That means you could provide higher education for yourself and your children. By 1940, 28 percent of black postal workers had some college education, compared to 5 percent overall.
African-Americans also had the protection under the Civil Service Act of 1883. They also had protection in case a local postmaster wanted to fire them for civil rights activity. So, you know, this actually led to black community development.
SIMON: It's irresistible to note that it seems like there will be a substantial number of letter carriers and other people who work for the post office looking for jobs now. Where else can they work?
RUBIO: That's a good question, especially because one out of every two letter carriers, for instance, is over the age of 50. And, well, automation already removed a lot of clerk jobs. That's going to be hard for letter carriers and postal workers in general, to, you know, to transition. I mean, they have a skill and it is a skill, that they perform, and it's, you know, it's a service. The post office is not a charity. It's a - that we should keep alive just so people can have good middle-class incomes. It's a self-supporting universal service.
SIMON: Philip Rubio, assistant professor of history at North Carolina A&T State University. Thanks very much for being with us.
RUBIO: Thank you for having me, Scott. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Legs are the foundation of all humans – you stand on it every day. ;) Manga legs range from detailed and buff to generic, simplified lines. Simplified legs being the norm. Below is a row of legs in the front view. The first leg is typical, showing the simplified version I mentioned. Notice how the middle is practically straight and has no curves while the outer edge is just the opposite. The second example, on the other hand, has curves at both sides of the leg. Taking a closer look, the legs are shaped like cylinders with one end slightly wider than the other end from hip to knee, from knee to ankle.
At side and back view, the same idea applies. The back view of the leg tends to have dashes | / \ | indicating the back of the knee. You can also do the same at the front using one or two dashes except reversed | \ / |.
One important aspect about legs that you must keep in mind is when it is against another object whether if it's a chair or it's own self, the leg tends to widen out. The muscle gets pushed to the side or upwards depending on the situation. Above and the one below are three of such examples.
Top: Leg pushing up on itself.
Middle: Leg resting on chair.
Bottom: Leg against itself and on the floor.


How to document the scene following a car crash
| Jan 7, 2021 | Personal Injury
A New York car crash may leave you reeling, but the actions you take right afterward may have a big impact on the outcome of your case, should it go to court. The more you do to document the crash scene and gather evidence that supports your side, the better, and there are some important steps to take when doing so.
According to Edmunds, once you exchange information with any drivers involved in the crash or any witnesses who were on the scene, you should start taking pictures of the crash site and vehicles involved.
What to photograph
When documenting the crash scene, use your cellphone to take pictures. In addition to photographing your vehicle and any damage it suffered during the wreck, take pictures of any obstructions, conditions or other hazards in the roadway or near it that may have played a role in your crash.
You should also take photos from multiple angles. Start about 10 feet away from your car or truck and then work your way toward it, snapping pictures along the way. Make sure, too, to zoom in close on any damage done to your vehicle during the crash.
When to photograph
It is wise to photograph the scene anytime you find yourself involved in a crash that warrants exchanging information. It is also wise to do so even when you believe you might be at fault. The images you snap may provide evidence of other factors that may have contributed to the crash, potentially reducing your liability.
Assessing safety should always be the first step following a car crash. Once you determine that there are no serious injuries, move forward with documenting the scene.

, abstract = {In this paper we present a web-based software solution to the problem of implementing real-time collaborative neuroimage visualization. In both clinical and research settings, simple and powerful access to imaging technologies across multiple devices is becoming increasingly useful. Prior technical solutions have used a server-side rendering and push-to-client model wherein only the server has the full image dataset. We propose a rich client solution in which each client has all the data and uses the Google Drive Realtime API for state synchronization. We have developed a small set of reusable client-side object-oriented JavaScript modules that make use of the XTK toolkit, a popular open-source JavaScript library also developed by our team, for the in-browser rendering and visualization of brain image volumes. Efficient realtime communication among the remote instances is achieved by using just a small JSON object, comprising a representation of the XTK image renderers{\textquoteright} state, as the Google Drive Realtime collaborative data model. The developed open-source JavaScript modules have already been instantiated in a web-app called MedView, a distributed collaborative neuroimage visualization application that is delivered to the users over the web without requiring the installation of any extra software or browser plugin. This responsive application allows multiple physically distant physicians or researchers to cooperate in real time to reach a diagnosis or scientific conclusion.

This derivation does not require assumptions such as a spatially constant diffusion coefficient, or ad hoc selection of a propagator. In particular, the boundary conditions that implicitly incorporate the microstructure into the diffusion MR signal can now be included explicitly through a spatially varying diffusion coefficient.

This hypothesis was mainly supported by a qualitative evaluation of "path neighborhoods" reconstructed with diffusion MRI (dMRI) tractography. Notwithstanding the potentially important implications of the sheet structure hypothesis for our understanding of brain structure and development, it is still considered controversial by many for lack of quantitative analysis. A means to quantify sheet structure is therefore necessary to reliably investigate its occurrence in the brain. Previous work has proposed the Lie bracket as a quantitative indicator of sheet structure, which could be computed by reconstructing path neighborhoods from the peak orientations of dMRI orientation density functions. Robust estimation of the Lie bracket, however, is challenging due to high noise levels and missing peak orientations. We propose a novel method to estimate the Lie bracket that does not involve the reconstruction of path neighborhoods with tractography. This method requires the computation of derivatives of the fiber peak orientations, for which we adopt an approach called normalized convolution. With simulations and experimental data we show that the new approach is more robust with respect to missing peaks and noise. We also demonstrate that the method is able to quantify to what extent sheet structure is supported for dMRI data of different species, acquired with different scanners, diffusion weightings, dMRI sampling schemes, and spatial resolutions. The proposed method can also be used with directional data derived from other techniques than dMRI, which will facilitate further validation of the existence of sheet structure.}, issn = {_PHONE_}, doi = {10.1016/j.media.2017.03.007}, author = {Tax, Chantal M W and Westin, Carl-Fredrik and Dela Haije, Tom and Fuster, Andrea and Viergever, Max A and Calabrese, Evan and Florack, Luc and Leemans, Alexander} } @proceedings {_PHONE_, title = {Proceedings of the 9th Image Guided Therapy Workshop}, volume = {9}, year = {2017}, pages = {1-54}, author = {Kapur, Tina and Clare M.

Thanks in advance

I am very confused at what the question is. Can you expand? What do you mean by "compile word doc"? When you're talking about saving as pdf do you mean saving from a browser somehow? If you are talking about comparing links in a word doc to links in a pdf then Selenium is definitely not the right tool for the job since it will only automate interacting with web elements within a browser. – Sam Woods Nov 1 '13 at 19:58
Sam you got the question in correct way, I am downloading the document from internet but before downloading, I am sending document in word form and then downloading it in pdf/tex/doc. type(depends). Now the new document I got having links and I need to validate that links with original document – Tami Nov 4 '13 at 15:39
1 Answer 1
This is how I approached a similar situation in validating a PDF creation service.
 1. Convert the doc -> PDF using an automated method you control. This will be your oracle.
 2. Use your conversion process under test
 3. Do a file comparison between the two PDFs
That method seems to me the easiest to implement, but it may not meet your test needs.
Another approach could be to parse both the doc and the pdf, then use regex to grab the URLs and do a comparison.

Thanks Daniel. I've been reading the docs, and i think I've worked out what I need to do to implement this. Could you let me know if this sounds like the correct approach? Indexing 1. Sub-class TokenFilter, and add extra functionality that calls setPayload() on each token 2. Write a custom analyser that uses the new TokenFilter sub-class 3. As I only want this to apply to certain fields, I'll use the PerFieldAnalyserWrapper Searching 1. Sub-class Similarity, and over-ride the scorePayload() method with the example code you linked to. 2. When I create an IndexSearcher, call the setSimilarity() method on it, so that it uses the new sub-class. 3.

Commercial Bank is the most important functionary of the financial system play a dynamic role in the economic development of a nation as well as Bangladesh. Economic history shows that financial development always starts with a banking system. In a country's development, the banking systems' contribution is highest in the initial stage of development compared with the other financial systems. An attempt has been made in this paper to evaluate the comparative performance of these two sectors of banks operating in Bangladesh. The specific objectives of the study are to evaluate the growth trend of general business activities of selected banks and identify the comparative commercial profitability, employee efficiency and overall performance of studying banks during 1995 to 2004. On the basis of the analysis considering the above measures included in this paper, it has been observed that the profitability performance as well as trend of general business operation and employee efficiency of the selected private banks was far better than the selected public banks for the study period.

Missing blades of Laminarian algae, Eisenia bicyclis, Ecklonia cava, and E. kurome, have been observed in the marine forests along the coast of Nagasaki Prefecture, since 1998. In many cases, characteristic marks thought to be caused by fish grazing were left on the edge of remaining blades. To obtain further evidence for this, we observed the grazing behavior of seven species of fish common in this area, and analyzed the characteristics of bite marks on E. kurome in experimental tanks.
In the observations of grazing behavior, six species of fish grazed on E. kurome. Three species, Calotomus japonicus, Signanus fuscescens, and Kyphosus lembus grazed on E. kurome more actively than the other species, and left characteristic bite marks on the blades. The shape and size of bite marks on the blades were useful for identifying the species that caused the lost blades. In natural marine Ecklonia beds, as in Eisenia beds, large schools of these three herbivore species might cause the lost blade phenomenon on a large scale along the coast in this area.

Busbar temperature monitoring is important to ensure that the energy distribution system is operating at its optimum. A properly functioning busbar system will reduce the load on the transformer and hence extend its life. Additionally, a busbar system can help in detecting anomalies early, so that they can be corrected before they lead to power outages.
Busbar temperature monitoring is important because it allows utilities and operators to identify and correct problems as early as possible. By monitoring busbars, operators are able to detect problems such as overheating, corrosion, or poor insulation. This not only saves time and money but also avoids potential disasters.
Busbar temperature monitoring is important for a variety of reasons. When a busbar is subject to high temperatures, it can cause problems. For instance, a busbar that is too hot could start to emit smoke or flames. This could lead to a catastrophic fire. Additionally, if the busbar becomes too hot, it could start to degrade. This could lead to problems with the electrical connections or the mechanical components of the busbar. Finally, high temperatures can also cause mental fatigue in the busbar. This can lead to failure and potential injury.
By monitoring busbar temperatures, businesses can avoid these problems. Monitoring also allows businesses to identify when there are problems with the busbar and take appropriate action. For example, if there is smoke or flames emanating from a busbar, then the business may shut down operations until the problem is fixed. If there are signs of metal fatigue, then the business may replace the busbar before it fails completely.
There are many benefits of BUSBAR temperature monitoring!
Busbar temperature monitoring is important for two reasons: first, it can help you identify and diagnose problems with electrical equipment, and second, it can help you optimize the performance of your electrical system.
If you have a busbar temperature sensor installed in your electrical system, it will monitor the temperature of the busbar (a metal conductor used to transfer electricity between two or more devices). If the temperature of the busbar rises above a certain threshold, this will indicate that there is a problem with your electrical system. By monitoring the busbar temperature, you can quickly identify and fix any problems.
Additionally, by optimizing the performance of your electrical system, you can ensure that your equipment is operating at its best. By monitoring the busbar temperature, you can determine which devices are producing heat (known as heat sources), and then make adjustments to reduce or eliminate these sources of heat. This will help to improve the overall performance of your electrical system
Busbar temperature monitoring is important for a number of reasons.
First, it can help identify and diagnose problems with the electrical system more quickly. If there is an issue with the bus bar, it can cause short circuits in the system, which could lead to a fire. By monitoring the bus bar temperature, you can detect any problems sooner and take action to prevent them from becoming major disasters.
Second, busbar temperature monitoring can help protect the equipment and personnel working with it. If the bus bar is too hot or cold, it can cause discomfort or even injury. By keeping track of the bus bar temperature, you can make sure that it remains at a safe level and avoid any issues.
Finally, bus bar temperature monitoring can help conserve energy. If the bus bar is too cold or hot, it will use more energy to operate than necessary. By tracking the bus bar temperature, you can make sure that it remains at a comfortable level and save money on your energy bills.
Busbar temperature monitoring is an important safety precaution that you should take when operating your plant. By monitoring the busbar temperature, you can ensure that the heat transfer between the hot and cold sides of the busbar is constant and reliable. This will help to protect your equipment and keep it running smoothly.

Google Tag Manager (GTM) Launches a new feature "Server-Side Tagging" into public beta
Since Google Tag Manager's launch in 2012, the platform has quickly become the industry standard for managing tracking scripts. GTM allows web developers and agencies to quickly and easily add, update, debug, and deploy measurement code to your site or app with the main purpose of tracking user interaction and website performance all in one place.
Google Tag Manager will trigger code to load when key events take place, as the code will be executed in the user's browser. This does have a few drawbacks, however. One of which is that by having more tracking scripts, the site will likely take longer to load a web page. Additionally, some users may have specific browser plugins or settings that prevent all of your tracking scripts from working properly. We can now address these issues by moving code used for tracking purposes to cloud servers instead running them "client-side".
What are the benefits of using Server-Side Tagging?
Google Tag Manager's Server-Side Tagging allows you to run the tracking scripts on cloud servers instead of client side inside the end user's web browser. For example, if you are using Google Analytics without server-side tagging, when a user visits your website they will also connect ( to load a Google Analytics script. With the use of server-side tagging, the end user will not make a direct connection to (, instead the Google Analytics script will load and run on the cloud server. When tracking events take place on the website, the code is sent to a cloud server where they are processed and routed.
The cloud servers are setup under subdomain on your site e.g. ( By setting up the servers under your domain you keep all data transfers between your site and the servers as first party data.
Tracking scripts are less likely to be blocked by ad blockers and third-party plugins as those tools are typically designed to block scripts by the URL e.g. ( With Server-Side Tagging implemented they will now be hidden on the Cloud server.
Faster Load times
By moving third party code from website to a cloud server, the end user will no longer need to load the third-party code which will result in faster page time loads for the websites.
Data security
By running tracking scripts server side, tracking IDs and API keys will be hidden from the end user. This can also help prevent spam and keep API keys secret for increased security.
Data Collection Control
With server-side tracking, third party vendors will only have access to the data you provide them and will not be able to collect any additional information data on users who visit your site. By collecting and distributing data in a server-side environment data is sent through your cloud server before it is processed and routed by 3rd party tags.
Tracking integrations
Google Tag Manager Server-Side tagging currently offers built-in integrations with Google Analytics Universal (classic) and Google Analytics 4. In some cases, you will need to use APIs to connect to tracking platforms such as Facebook. More integration is expected to come; however, this is still early in the beta stage.
Drawbacks to Server-Side Tagging
Google Tag Manager Server-side tracking does have some drawbacks to also consider prior to implementation.
Associated Costs
Unlike the standard version of Google Tag Manager, there are costs associated with GTM server-side tagging. You will need to set up virtual machines on the Google Cloud Service in order to run the integration.
Limited Resources
Server-Side Tagging is still early in the beta and there is not a wealth of resources currently available.
Traditional Tracking Still Required
GTM Server Side Tagging does not completely replace the need for traditional tracking setup. Your website will need trigger events to send the GTM Server.
Some Tracking Features Not Available
It is unlikely that tracking that uses features such as heatmaps, mouse tracking, scroll tracking, and session recording will ever be made compatible.
