Wavelength of red light
Extracts from this document...
Introduction
Quality of Measurement Coursework
Wavelength of red light
The Aim
The target is to take measurements to calculate the wavelength of red laser light by using the diffraction grating formula. Therefore I will use a variety of diffraction gratings. To improve accuracy I will always do the experiment with and in absence of two lenses. With this step I hope to get closer to the real wavelength.
The Set-up
Equipment list:
 1. red laser
 2. two metre rulers
 3. wall or projector screen
 4. double slit
 5. slit holder
 6. variety of diffraction gratings
 7. diverging lens
 8. converging lens
 9. two lens holders
 10. graph paper
 11. cello tape, blue tack
 12. marker pens

The light from the laser passes through the diverging lens and splits up. Afterwards the converging lens concentrates the light. This process gives a more focused and smaller dot on the wall which leads to higher accuracy. The grating causes the concentrated light to break up again.

Middle
To use the formula for the diffraction grating we need to find the spacing between each gap in the grating.

Then we use the diffraction grating formula.

Where d is the distance between each slit, θ the angle calculated above, n the order of the maxima and λ the wavelength to be calculated. We rearrange the formula:

Example
Without lenses
Diffraction grating: 80 lines per mm
Order of the maxima: 1
Distance between central maximum and 1st order spectrum: 10.4cm
...read more.
Conclusion
The grating was not always aligned at right angles to the laser beam.
Interpretation
I proved that the method using lenses increases accuracy. So for my final wavelength I will use the results with lenses. I also showed that increasing the lines per mm on a diffraction grating gets closer to the actual wavelength. So I can use a weighted average:
image07.png
If we have a look on the visible spectrum of the electromagnetic spectrum we can see that 634nm is in the red section.
image08.jpg
In total I can say that there is a very small uncertainty included in my result. As stated in the uncertainty section, the uncertainty is always under 1%. There are very few errors which are exercisable, too.
I am satisfied with this experiment, because increasing the lines per mm would not give me a significant change in the wavelength. All in all I am very close to the actual wavelength.

3 star(s)
The method used gives a good value for the wavelength of laser light. Greater attention to the use of measurement techniques to reduce uncertainty would improve the grade. Also the final value should be compared to the stated value using a percentage deference calculation. 3 Stars

 1. Pass or Fail a Class Step 1.jpg
 Never do the assigned homework, and never study for a test.
 2. Pass or Fail a Class Step 2.jpg
 Always arrive late to class and make noise dropping books as you enter. It can be disturbing everyone else.
 3. Pass or Fail a Class Step 3.jpg
 Do not be prepared for class. Do not do the homework assignment, and always leave your books at home, so you are not able to follow the work as discussed during class.
 4. Pass or Fail a Class Step 4.jpg
 Never answer correctly when called up, complain and make up excuses why you do not know the right answer and act as if you do not care.
 5. Pass or Fail a Class Step 5.jpg
 Get an F in all your tests, classwork and homework. This will most certainly cause you to fail.
 6. Pass or Fail a Class Step 6.jpg
 If possible, stay up as late as possible, that way you can fall asleep in class.
 7. Pass or Fail a Class Step 7.jpg
 Fake being sick often to skip school.

 Act like an idiot and pretend to be 3 grades younger than you are (if you have a younger sibling then this should be easy)
Method 2 of 2: To Pass
 1. Pass or Fail a Class Step 11.jpg
 Bring your required books to class, with a notebook and pencil to take notes.
 2. Pass or Fail a Class Step 12.jpg
 Always study when you go home, and do your homework carefully. Make sure you place the homework in a school folder so you will not forget to bring it to class.

A German waste management association seeks a water turbine that is suitable for fluctuating water volumes and flow rates. The turbine is to be installed at a landfill site. The electricity produced should be fed into the public grid. A European partner is sought who can provide a suitable turbine within a commercial agreement with technical assistance.
A German waste management association wants to implement a small water turbine at a landfill site. The surface water drainage system of the landfill site has a drop height of approximately 50 m with a maximum flow rate of 80 l/s. The catchment area accounts for approx. 240.000 m² with an average precipitation of 990 mm/a. A retention basin with a volume of 1000 m³ is present and can be utilized to adjust the flow rate. However, as the system is dependent on precipitation, the water volume and flow rate highly fluctuates.
Hydropower experts, who were consulted, informed the waste management association that fluctuating flow rates as well as the low water volumes prove to be problematic for existing water turbines on the market. The only offers made to date had a payback period of more than 30 years and could thus not be accepted.
The waste management association is thus looking for a European company that can give advice and provide a water turbine and assist with implementation at reasonable costs within a commercial agreement with technical assistance.
- Type of partner sought: • The water turbine should be suitable for fluctuating water volumes at rather low flow rates up to 80l/s
- Ideally the water turbine could be installed in the already existing gravity pipe system, as a bypass in pressure pipes will cause additional investment. However, a bypass in pressure pipes is also acceptable.
- The produced electricity shall be supplied to the public electricity grid.
- Specific area of activity of the partner: A partner is sought for a commercial agreement with technical assistance
Area of activity of partner: provider of water turbine
Tasks to be performed: Evaluate the situation at the landfill together with the waste management association and identify and provide a suitable turbine. Give advice and assistance with the installation.

Research progress on transcriptional regulation of floral scent in Dendrobium officinale
Orchid plants are the most species-rich plants and highly interact with pollinators via visual or olfactory cues. Biosynthesis and emission of floral scent (e.g. linalool, geraniol) to the atmosphere facilitate the olfactory cues and ensure successful pollination. Economically important ornamental flowers, including the orchids Dendrobium officinale, have a particularly high content of monoterpenes, comprising linalool, geraniol and their derivatives. However, information on transcriptional regulation of terpene biosynthesis remains limited, and few studies have been focused on monocots, especially on monocot aromatic flowers.
With the introduction of Prof. DUAN Jun, Dr. YU Zhenming from the South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, investigate the MeJA-responsive DobHLH4 promotes DoTPS10, which is involved in linalool biosynthesis. The chloroplast-localized DoTPS10 functioned as a linalool synthase based on evidence that recombinant DoTPS10 specifically catalyzed the heterologous production of linalool from GPP (Figure 1). DobHLH4 during floral development was positively correlated with DoTPS10 (R2 = 0.985, p < 0.01). The nuclear-targeted DobHLH4, a transcription activator, activates and directly binds to the DoTPS10 promoter. Transient overexpression of DobHLH4 in D. officinale petals increased significantly linalool accumulation (Figure 2), and concomitantly upregulated the expression of linalool biosynthetic genes, suggesting that DobHLH4 functions as a positive regulator of the formation of linalool by modulating DoTPS10 expression.
Furthermore, MeJA-inducible DobHLH4 physically interacted with DoJAZ1. A hypothetical model is illustrated that JA-activated DobHLH4 functions in the accumulation of linalool. In the absence of JA or low JA, DobHLH4 interacts with DoJAZ1 without targeting DoTPS10, which attenuates the transcriptional activation activity of DobHLH4 at the DoTPS10 promoter, thereby decreasing linalool accumulation. In the presence of JA, DobHLH4 is recognized by SCFCOI1 (the JA receptor) and subsequently degraded by the 26S proteasome. DobHLH4 is then released and activates the DoTPS10 promoter, thereby enhancing the accumulation of linalool.
The present study illustrates that DobHLH4 acts as a positive regulator in linalool biosynthesis, and provide a feasible strategy for promoting linalool accumulation by JA-mediated transcriptional regulation in orchid plants.

Oxford Conference on Zoroastrianism 5-7 July 2010
The Aram Society for Syro-Mesopotamian Studies announces a new series of conferences on the subject of Zoroastrianism. The first, which will be held in Oxford on 5-7 July 2010, aims to study Zoroastrian religion and culture throughout the Levant. The emphasis will be on exploring how Zoroastrianism interacted with Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Gnosticism and ancient Near Eastern non-biblical religions. Cultural interaction is the keynote.
Who is Aram?
Aram takes its name from "Aramaic" -- the Semitic language which was a focal point of ancient Syro-Mesopotamian cultures from the 8th century BC, when it became the official and commercial lingua franca of the Near East,* until the 7th-10th century AD when it was extensively replaced by Arabic following the spread of Islam. Aramaic was influenced at first by Akkadian, then from the 5th century BC by Persian, and from the 3rd century BC onwards by Greek, as well as by Hebrew, especially in Palestine. In the time of Jesus, it was widely spoken (as well as written) throughout the Semitic area and it was, of course, the language of Zenobia and the main tongue of Palmyra. It still survives today (as Syriac and Mandaic), especially for religious rites, in some scattered places.
Aram is not confined solely to Aramaic studies, however, but deals with all the cultures that were influenced by Aramaic civilisation across the greater Syro-Mesopotamian region and the so-called Fertile Crescent -- a great swath of territory over thousands of years.
In fact, as we learn from their website, the Aram Society is building the foundation for the study of continuity between the Aramaic culture and other Syro-Mesopotamian civilisations. Past conferences showed how closely intertwined they are, and that Aramaic civilisation would not have flourished without this intellectual cross-fertilisation. The many connections between the different cultures demonstrate that the Syro-Mesopotamian man** is born out of a process of uninterrupted cultural continuity since the beginning of history.
Zoroastrianism is just one piece of the puzzle along this cultural continuum.
Zenobia and Zoroastrianism
Zenobia has not neglected Zoroastrianism either.
Some background on the tight links between the Sassanian-Persian Zoroastrian religion and the Kings of Kings (Church and state were born of one womb, joined together never to be sundered) is described in Zoroastrian Stuff.
Then, Zenobia told the story of Tansar, the chief 'teaching priest,' and how he restored the true faith after the depredations of Accursed Alexander and his successors, in Zoroastrian Stuff II:
Do not marvel, Tansar says, "at my zeal and ardour for promoting order in the world, that the foundations of the laws of the Faith may be made firm. It is as if I heard the voices [of the spirits of the virtuous dead] uttering praise, and saw the gladness and radiance of their countenances. When we are united we shall speak of what we have done and be glad.And, finally, in Zoroastrian Stuff III, Zenobia covered the astonishing 'autobiography' written on a rock relief by the Chief Magus-Priest, Kirdir, who boasted of having established orthodoxy and persecuted heretics: From the beginning I, Kirdir, have laboured hard for the sake of the gods, rulers, and my own soul.
Cultural Interaction in Oxford
Scholars are invited to submit papers for the Aram Society's 2010 conference.
All queries should be addressed to the conference secretary Dr Shafiq Abouzayd
at the Aram Society for Syro-Mesopotamian Studies,
The Oriental Institute, Oxford University, Pusey Lane, Oxford OX1 2LE, England.
Tel. ++1865-514041. Fax ++1865-516824. Email: _EMAIL_
Dr Abouzayd has kindly confirmed to me that non-specialists interested in the subject will be welcome to attend. I hope to be there.
* Circa 700 BC, the ambassadors of the Assyrian King Sennacherib and the son of the Judaean King Hezekiah negotiated in Aramaic before the walls of Jerusalem when they didn't want to be understood by the population: "Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the [Aramaic] Syrian tongue; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall." (2 Kings 18:26). A few hundred years later, it was the language of the people.
** I trust that Aram includes the female sex under the rubric of 'the Syro-Mesopotamian man'.
My note on Aramaic is based on K. Beyer, The Aramaic Language: its distribution and sub-divisions, Göttingen, 1986.

Presentation on theme: "00-014. Verifying the Presence of Eggs Once the egg chamber discontinuity is located by patient digging and scraping, the presence of eggs is confirmed."— Presentation transcript:
00-014. Verifying the Presence of Eggs Once the egg chamber discontinuity is located by patient digging and scraping, the presence of eggs is confirmed by gently digging into the neck of the egg chamber with fingers until eggs are seen. The sand is replaced to continue to protect the ping-pong sized eggs and the excavation backfilled. Loggerhead clutches on St. Catherines average 113 eggs per clutch. After validating the egg chamber, the position of the clutch is marked and the body pit is refilled to the level and contour of the beach surface.
00-015. Probing Problems Other methods of locating clutches of eggs are employed in other sea turtle programs. One of these, probing, is a technique using a rod or stick to gently probe the bottom of the nest to locate the typically softer sand of the egg chamber neck. Although effective, this technique has been found to be extremely hazardous as the eggs may easily be broken by probing too vigorously. This technique is used only as a last resort in our program and only by experienced personnel.
00-016. Screening to Protect from Predators Once the clutch is validated it is protected from predators by screening. A wire screen is placed directly over the egg chamber and held in place with steel stakes made from iron reinforcing rods called "rebar." This protects the eggs from being dug and eaten by raccoons or pigs. A second screen with a 1 x 2 mesh may be used on top of the flat screen. In areas liable to depredation we also place a Cumberland Cage over the other one or two screens. A painted stake is then marked with the nests number and placed near the screened nest.
Predation Management Management of predators involves l 1. Covering of nests l 2. Trapping l 3. Targeted Hunting
00-017. Relocating Nests Some areas of the beach are prone to be eroded or inundated by storm-driven tides. Some nests deposited during neap tides are deposited on the back beach in areas certain to be inundated by the higher spring tides. Such nests are moved to safer, nearby areas within twelve hours of their deposition. New egg chambers are dug to conform to the actual egg chamber, the eggs are carefully removed one or two at a time and cradled in a bucket on a cushion of sand, carefully transported to the nearest safe area, and redeposited one or two at a time, then covered as if an in situ nest.
00-018. Locating the Nest on Beach Grid The nest is then surveyed in onto a beach grid survey to locate the nest within a meter of its geographic position on St. Catherines Island. A beach grid can be established either by direct measurement with a 100m tape or measuring wheel or by geographic positioning system (GPS).
00-019. Notebook Documentation Data on the nests, its date of deposition, photographic documentation, geographic location, position of the beach, nature of the local habitat, and other unique aspects of the nest are then recorded in each scientists notebook. Other observations made during the days work are also entered to make a permanent record of each scientists activity each day. Data on nest dimensions and morphology was collected in 1994 to document relative size of egg chambers and nests to determine the chance of a randomly digging predator discovering the egg chamber.
00-020. Computerization of the Data The data taken in the field is transcribed onto a computerized data base and onto computerized data forms. These data can then be manipulated by computer to analyze patterns and attributes and to generate required reports. Daily work efforts, an up-to-date monitoring list, and cumulative nest data were recorded on a spreadsheet.
00-021. Conservation Research Each year we initiate a line of research to study and enhance the production of Loggerhead sea turtles on the Georgia coast. During 1993 and 1994 we monitored temperature of the sand above, within, and below nests, during 1994 we studied learned behavior in predators, during 1995 we studied the effects of ground water on nesting habitat, in 1996 we continued the ground water study and initiated a study of moving nests to small areas called "nurturies." Research is important because it allows us to experiment with techniques to enhance hatchling production to help conserve threatened Loggerhead sea turtles.
00-022. Daily Monitoring From the time the first nest is deposited on St. Catherines Island until the last nest hatches every nest is monitored every day, except at the very end of the season. Daily observations allow us to recover screens eroded by blowing winds, to exhume nests buried by blowing sand, and to expediently deal with predators who are learning depredation techniques too rapidly. Tracks of predators and other significant nest events are recorded as a code on daily monitoring lists which list all nests in location sequence on the beach.
00-023. Emergence of Baby Turtles After 50-60 days, the eggs hatch and the hatchling turtles begin wiggling their way toward the surface. As they do, the sand falls below them and they work their way to a location just below the surface. In the dark of the evening, the hatchlings suddenly become active and emerge as a group onto the beach and scurry into the ocean. Once in the ocean they enter a swimming frenzy which lasts for many hours which assures that they become widely dispersed in the ocean. The large clutch size, night time emergence, and swimming frenzy are mechanisms which have evolved to assure survival of some individuals from the ravages of predation. Evidence of an emergence includes an emergence crater or hole and a myriad of small crawlways made as the turtles scamper to the sea.
00-024. Stoping After hatching the mass of baby sea turtles begin digging their way to the surface. As they dig upward, sand falls around and under them. This process, called stoping in the mining industry, allows the turtles to loosen sand above them and pack it in beneath them, forming a floored chamber, a stope. Occasionally a rain will occur as the baby turtles are stoping their way to the surface. When this happens, the sand becomes cohesive and does not easily fall from the ceiling, but forms an arch across the top of the nest. In extreme circumstances, this arch will not allow the sea turtles to touch the ceiling, stopping the stoping and exposing the turtles to death by drowning (if the rain continues) or by desiccation (if the conditions last too long). St. Catherines protocols mandate digging nests which are hatching and have been inundated by heavy rains (3" or more).
00-025. Hatchling The baby sea turtles are small 2-3 inch replicas of adults which often reach 300-400 pounds and 3-4 feet in length at maturity. The baby sea turtles normally crawl across the beach at night enter the ocean and then enter an instinctive swimming frenzy for about 36 hours which acts as a dispersal mechanism to protect them from predators. Conservationists believe that 1 in 1,000 hatchlings may survive to reproductive age.
00-026. Real-World Experience! Three to five days after the last hatchlings emerge, each nest is carefully dug to find any hatchlings remaining in the egg chamber. Eggs are sorted into categories in stacks of 10 hatched eggs, unhatched eggs, and dead sea turtles to be counted. Whatever the condition of the eggs in the nest, it must be dug; leading to interesting sounds, smells, and sights.
00-027. Hands-On Science! Interns particularly enjoy finding live baby sea turtles remaining in the egg chamber. The babies are carried back to the Turtle House in insulated coolers to await release during the darkness of night by the interns and faculty. The St. Catherines Island Sea Turtle Conservation Program protocol calls for their release in as natural a way as is feasible; involving crawling across the beach, no artificial lights, and as little noise as is feasible.

Road barriers, is are very common word often listen and used for road constructions, prohibited areas, and excavation sites. These are the stop or slow down sign for the people moving on roads as pedestrians and drivers. A similar type of barrier accommodation that is designed and developed solely for elevating the protection level of pedestrians from slow moving vehicles are the water filled barriers. These are portable, strong, sturdy, heavy, and filled with water and sand composition tools that block a particular area of the road which is at high risk of danger. These barriers ensure safety to road vehicles from the road obstacles and incidents like vehicle rollover, collisions, and accidents. On the other hand, acrow prop is a sort of steel tubing device that is used to lend support to heighted walls bearing overhead loads. Acrow prop for sale Melbourne is widely employed by construction contractors during infrastructure development and in industries where multiple mechanical tools are involved in the technical processing. These are used for floors, ceilings, walls, as temporary beams, and false work applications.
Water filled barriers
A physical road obstacle that is specially installed for safety purpose is the water filled barriers. Conventionally, concrete barriers were more common. However, better durability and quality shock absorption range make water barriers a successful alternative. These are portable and are removable when the construction work is over or the prohibition of entry has to be lifted from a place.
Water filled barriers are light in weight, are flexible, affordable, and practically usable for a long period of time. Presence of these barriers recommends a decrease of 70kph vehicle to 50kph, in order to reduce worker injury or vehicle collision. These devices are commonly used in instances like
- When a section of road is enclosed
- Temporary blockage or edging to create active traffic lanes
- Setting awareness of the ongoing road work
Acrow prop for sale Melbourne
Acrow prop is steel tubing that has a preliminary accommodation in the construction field and industrial processes as a tool to bear overhead loads of walls, ceiling, floors, roofs, beams, trenches, etc. Acrow prop are used in a large number, especially if multiple storey building is under work, therefore, these can be rented or purchased according to convenience and budget. Acrow prop for sale Melbourne is quite an affordable choice as it will cut-down the overall cost that will be invested in its purchase.

Purpose: To assess the effect of hyaluronic acid instillation after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction for improving pain, range of movement, and function of the knee.
Methods: 28 men and 4 women underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction for isolated ACL rupture (partial or complete) and instability after recreational sports injury 2 to 120 months earlier. They were randomised to undergo arthroscopic ACL reconstruction followed by intra-articular viscoseal instillation (13 men and 3 women) or arthroscopic ACL reconstruction alone (15 men and 1 woman). The knee injury osteoarthritis outcome score (for pain, symptoms, activities of daily living, sport and recreation function, and quality of life), range of movement, knee circumference, and analgesic use were assessed on days -1, 1, and 2, and weeks 2, 6 and 12.
Results: Patient demographics were similar at baseline. At postoperative days 1 and 2, all subscales of the knee injury osteoarthritis outcome score (except for quality of life) were significantly higher in the viscoseal group. At weeks 2, 6, and 12, improvement in both groups equalised. Knee swelling (change in knee circumference) was significantly less in the viscoseal group at days 1 and 2 (p=0.009 and p=0.038, respectively, Mann-Whitney U test). Only one patient in the viscoseal group had a limited range of movement. No patient developed any adverse reaction.
Conclusion: Intra-articular viscoseal instillation improved pain control and swelling 2 days after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction.

Once upon a time there was a bookseller. His name was Frederic G. Melcher, and he knew in his heart that books for children were just as important as books for adults, if not more so. Why, he wondered, are they so often ignored? He thought and thought, and decided in the end that it didn't matter why; what mattered was that he did something to change all that.
He did. In 1921, he proposed the Newberry Award to the American Library Association, an award named for 18th-century English bookseller John Newbery and to be awarded to the most distinguished American children's book published the previous year. The Association's Executive Board approved the idea, much to the joy of children's librarians everywhere, and the first Newbery Award was given in 1922.
The express purpose of the medal was "To encourage original creative work in the field of books for children. To emphasize to the public that contributions to the literature for children deserve similar recognition to poetry, plays, or novels. To give those librarians, who make it their life work to serve children's reading interests, an opportunity to encourage good writing in this field."
Not only the winning books, but runner-up Newbery Honor Books, are included in the list of titles. Melcher's brainchild was the first children's book award in the world, and remains the measure all the others. He went on to initiate the Caldecott Award for best illustrated children's book, and together the Newbery and the Caldecott provide the standard for evaluating children's books in the United States and beyond.

Possible Sandro Botticelli Fresco
Painting Found in Ruined Hungarian Castle.
06/10/2007 - A restoration project in Esztergom,
Hungary has resulted in a surprise possible attribution of a
painting to Early Italian
Renaissance painter Sandro
Botticelli. While restorations have been ongoing since 2000
on the four-piece mural, it is only in recent weeks that art
historians have recognized the hand of Sandro Botticelli in the
one of the fresco paintings.
One of the 4
fresco painting, ca.
hereto see our fine art
The mural paintings were commissioned to decorate the castle
chapel by Janos Vitez, Archbishop of Esztergom. To paint the
frescoes, Vitez employed the school of Fra Filippo
Lippi to whom Sandro Botticelli was apprenticed. The
images depict the four medieval virtues, a common theme of the
Apparent in the fresco painting to even a casual observer
is the flowing red hair characteristic of Sandro Botticelli's
Simonetta Vespucci, who died in 1476, but who Botticelli
continued to paint for the remainder of his career.
Janos Vitez was a Hungarian Humanist
who was born around 1400 and reigned as archbishop in Hungary
from 1465 to 1472.

Moving a turbine without any interfering veins? Only using smooth discs and adhesion with the air? The Tesla Turbine, made by Nikola Tesla, was certainly a marvel in its time. But this is no ordinary Tesla Turbine, but a Perez - Tesla Turbine.
The Tesla Turbine was made to be simple and elegant. Pressurized air entered through the periphery, circled about, and spiraled out of the center exit. And as it did it adhered to the smooth discs inside, pulling them and affecting rotary motion. However, the air, which had been following such a graceful path, would make a hard 90 degree turn when it exited the discs. The Perez - Tesla Turbine, available here, extends Tesla's design by using trumpet shaped discs, instead of Tesla's flat discs. This allows for an even smoother transition of the working fluid throughout the engine.
The axle mount for the turbine contains a fixture so that it can be mounted to a Lego Technic axle. Just blowing into the turbine, will cause this engine to rotate, though pressurized air can be used.
** Extreme caution must be used that this turbine not be driven so hard and fast, that it will disintegrate and pose a danger of flying shards. **

First of all, we have to determine why the dog shivering, many friends may be because the dog shivering in winter, and feel that a variety of diseases. Feeling that the nutrition is not enough too thin to feed the dog a lot of nutritious food without moderation, but will lead to the dog's own height development is seriously affected. Usually in the process of feeding as long as to ensure that the dog's nutrition is more balanced, because in many cases the dog must be fed for a long time through the scientific modulation to ensure the nutritional value.
If the dog shivers regularly in winter, it may be due to the weather, and if it is because of the weather you don't have to worry about it. This is because even human beings are known to shake a little to fight the cold. In most cases, if the weather is very cold and the hair on the dog is thin, then shivering does occur.
If the dog has been beaten by some stranger or bullied by some one, it may also develop a panic shiver. Then at this point of time we must look to see if the dog appears to be injured. It is important to carefully check the different parts to see if there is any injury, if it is injured it should be bandaged immediately otherwise there may be viral infections.
A lack of calcium in the dog may also lead to convulsions. This is because the dog may tremble all over the body once there is a problem of calcium deficiency. In many cases, dogs like to chew bones because of this reason. So in the usual feeding process, must pay attention to the balanced diet, of course, for the dog calcium deficiency can be through the calcium tablets to supplement the calcium content. Sprinkle a layer of powdered calcium tablets in the appropriate food to ensure that the pet's diet is balanced.


ousman rhyme). To try to improve accuracy, I wrote a regular expression
that interprets the rhyming part of the word as follows:
a) if the word ends in a "y", the rhyming part is the "y" and any vowels
immediately before it: "flY", "plAY".
b) if the word ends in an "e" not directly following a vowel, the rhyming part
is defined like in (c), excecpt the silent "e" is treated as a consonant:
"possIBLE", "remAKE".
c) otherwise, the rhyming part is the part containing the last group of one or
more vowels followed by any consonants: "shACK", "sEA", "sEE".
The regular expression is as follows:
 my $vowel = '[aeiou]';
 my $consonant = '[b-df-hj-np-tv-z]';
 my $consonant_or_e_not_y = '[b-hj-np-tvwxz]';
 my $match_ending_letter = '[aiouy]';
 my $match_continuing_letter = $consonant;
 ) ) {
Though impressive, in practice it's not any more accurate than the last-threeletters algorithm, and it's probably less accurate. Oh, well.
Finding rhymes is truly not for the fainthearted programmer. For example, the
words "food" and "good" don't rhyme even though their spelling suggests that
they would, and the word "read" can be pronounced either like "reed" or "red",
depending on its function in the sentence.
But if you ever do get really good at teaching poetry to computers, perhaps
you can join Damian Conway, "the mad scientist of Perl", who wrote a Perl
module to automatically generate a haiku before displaying an error message.
As he puts it:
 When a program dies
 what you need is a moment
 of serenity.

Distributed Computing Using Airshed
Many large applications today make use of parallel and distributed computer systems to obtain the cycles they need. A wide variety of such systems is available, and their architectures range from shared-memory systems to loosely-coupled, distributed-memory systems such as workstation clusters, to heterogeneous combinations of these systems. The preferred platform at any given time will depend on convenience, availabilty, and application-specific factors such as input sizes and running time estimates.
In this project, we investigate how applications can be distributed over heterogeneous sets of systems connected by high-speed networks. We are using a particular scientific application, the Urban and Regional Multiscale (URM) Airshed model, to drive our work. We initially distributed the model by hand using PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine), and showed how exploiting a combination of task and data parallelism creates a parallel application that runs efficiently on a variety of parallel architectures. This effort also exposed some of the problems of writing distributed applications using explicit message passing. A variety of problems showed up as a result of different compilation and runtime environments and the need for different performance tradeoffs on each of the systems. We are currently working with the Fx parallelizing compiler group to automate some of these tasks.
 - Parallelism in URM.
 - Performance using PVM.
 - Airshed in Fx.
 - Parallelism in URM
 The URM model is a three dimensional, time-dependent eulerian mathematical model which accounts for the transport, deposition and chemical evolution of various pollutants in the atmosphere. The program uses a three dimentional array to model the atmosphere. This array represents a three-dimensional multiscale grid of chemical concentrations.
 The Airshed program spends most of its time in two main computational phases: a horizontal transport phase (Horiz), and a combined chemistry and vertical transport phase (ChemVert). Both phases can be solved using data parallelism, although they distribute the concentration array along different dimensions (see data-parallel speedups). In the case of ChemVert, the parallelism can simply be exploited using a DOALL loop across the grid cells. The nature of the parallelism in HORIZ is more complicated, since for each layer, during the first timestep of each hour, the global stiffness matrix is assembled from inputs (wind fields, geometry, etc.) and factored into LUD (Lower-Upper-Diagonal) components. The LUD factors are then used to perform the advective transport for the different species in the species loop. Since the stiffness matrix only changes once per hour, the same LUD factors are used for each timestep and each species in the layer. Since the two phases access the data structure in different ways, the two phases in the distributed implementation are separated by a global transpose.
 Structure of Horiz and ChemVert Phases
 The data parallelism in the Horiz and ChemVert routines is the main source of parallelism. However, many other forms of parallelism are available. They fall into two classes: parallelization of ''secondary'' tasks such as IO and communication, and pipelining of various preprocessing tasks with the main computation. None of these optimizations applied in isolation results in much parallel speedup, because each optimization applies to only a relatively small fraction of the sequential computation. However, when the data parallelism inside the Horiz and ChemVert is exploited, their impact is much larger, since their relative contributions to wall-clock time are higher.
 The wide range of parallelism present in URM is by no means unique. Many other applications (especially other physical simulations based on multiple time scales or geometries) include different types of parallelism.
 Performance using PVM
 Airshed was parallelized using PVM and has been executed on a number of systems, including the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC)'s Cray C90, the PSC DEC Alpha Supercluster, and a group of Alpha workstations distributed in the Carnegie Mellon Computer Science department.
 The above numbers support a number of observations. First, the two data parallel components have almost linear speed up in each of the environments that they were executed in (e.g. see ChemVert speedup graph, below). However, in an exclusively data-parallel paradigm, tasks that are not data-parallel play the same role that sequential computations play in Amdahl's law - they severely limit the overall application speedup. Some of these tasks have been parallelized using task parallelism in PVM. The results clearly show the need for an environment that exploits both data parallelism and different types of task parallelism.
 Airshed in Fx
 We are working with the
 Fx parallelizing compiler group at CMU to try to automate some of the tasks associated with heterogeneous distributed computing. Fx is a FORTRAN dialect that allows mixed task and data parallelism. Its data parallelism is essentially HPF, while the task parallelism follows a macro-dataflow model. The Fx extensions to FORTRAN are quite powerful -- we have been able to express all the parallelism needed to achieve high speedups for programs with the same structure as the Airshed model. Our current activities focus on restructuring Airshed and tuning the Fx compiler so that we can realize this potential with the actual Airshed program.
 Taskand Data-Parallel Program Graph
 The ChemVert phase of Airshed application was successfully ported to a number of platforms using Fx. The results confirm what we observed earlier: the (data parallel) ChemVert phases achieves almost linear speedup. Note that contrary to the PVM approach, Fx allows us to achieve this performance using a single source code, i.e. the code is very portable.

This corresponds to one photon every 10^2506 seconds or one photon in 10^2499 years. Considering that the age of the universe is only about 10^10 years, we would still have to wait for 10^2489 "universe-ages" until we would see a single photon at 1 mm from the surface! Even our outrageous astronomical number crunching didn't help to get a grip on this number, since it didn't bring down the value of the exponent much at all: 10^2489 is still unimaginably large. This fast decay of the evanescent wave is the reason why a relatively thin cladding layer is enough to completely block the evanescent field from leaking energy out of optical fibers....

The term "Traditional agri-food products (PAT)" refers to those products whose processing, preservation and maturing methods are practiced in a given territory in a homogeneous manner and according to traditional rules and consolidated over time for a period of no less than twentyfive years. The national list of PATs is published and updated annually by the Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policy. The first list of 2000 contained 2,188 PAT; in 2018 there are included in the same list 5,056 PAT.
Among the 20 Italian regions, in first place we find Campania (with 515 PAT), followed by Tuscany (461) and Lazio (409). The Campania is also the region with the highest percentage of plant products (223), followed by Tuscany (192), Veneto (118), Liguria and Puglia (both with 101).
In the national list of PAT, it is possible to find numerous plant genetic resources and in particular local varieties, consumed as such or as an ingredient in gastronomic products. European consumers largely say (77%) that respect for local tradition and know-how is an important factor in their decision to buy European food products. In general, consumers associate local products with freshness and genuineness, link with the landscape, adoption of eco-sustainable production methods, traceability, non-approved food and sociality linked to local purchasing.
For all these reasons the PAT represent an
important and original expression of the vast Italian cultural heritage and can become a useful lever for the promotion of Italian territories and agriculture.

A Trailblazing Black Architect Who Helped Shape L.A.
Originally published on Fri June 22, 2012 8:37 pm
Paul Revere Williams began designing homes and commercial buildings in the early 1920s. By the time he died in 1980, he had created some 2,500 buildings, most of them in and around Los Angeles, but also around the globe. And he did it as a pioneer: Paul Williams was African-American. He was the first black architect to become a member of the American Institute of Architects in 1923, and in 1957 he was inducted as the AIA's first black fellow.
His granddaughter, Karen E. Hudson, has been chronicling Williams' life and work for the past two decades. Her latest book, Paul R. Williams: Classic Hollywood Style, focuses on some of the homes of his celebrity clients. They feature many characteristics that were innovative when he used them in the 1920s through the '70s and are considered common practice now — like the patio as an extension of the house, and hidden, retractable screens.
When Paul Williams began his career, he could find no black architects to be his role models or mentors. Born in downtown Los Angeles in 1894, Williams became orphaned before he turned 4 when his parents, Chester and Lila, died of tuberculosis. A family friend raised him and told him he was so bright, he could do anything he wanted. And what he wanted was to design homes for families — perhaps because he lost his own so early in his life. Despite warnings from those who thought he was being impractical ("Your own people can't afford you, and white clients won't hire you," was one such warning), Williams became an architect.
His work has come to signify glamorous Southern California to the rest of the country — and to the world. One of his hallmarks — a luxuriantly curving staircase — has captivated many a potential owner. Retired financial services magnate Peter Mullin remembers how he felt when he saw his 1925 Colonial, the first one Williams built in L.A.'s posh Brentwood neighborhood.
"The first time I saw it, I didn't think I could afford the house, but if I could afford the staircase, I wanted to take it with me!" Mullin laughs. He bought the house — once inhabited by producer Ingwald Preminger, brother of director Otto — and has enjoyed it for 35 years.
"Every now and then, I think about leaving," Mullin admits. "Then I look around... and I can't. I just love this place."
That sentiment may explain why Williams' homes don't come on the market very often.
Bret Parsons is head of the architectural division of John Aaroe Group, a Beverly Hills real estate brokerage handling multimillion-dollar properties. He says when Williams homes come up for sale, real estate agents scramble to get the listing. "They're gobbled up in seconds," he says. "They're an absolute pedigree for someone to have in their arsenal."
Parsons says Williams homes posses grace, design and elegant proportions, which attracted people with money and taste.
Several of them were celebrities from Hollywood's heyday. Williams built an elegant bachelor pad for Frank Sinatra when the singer was between marriages. Lucille Ball and husband Desi Arnaz were clients. So was Cary Grant. Danny Thomas was both client and friend — Williams designed St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis gratis, as a favor to Thomas (and made Thomas promise not to tell, so he wasn't deluged with similar requests). In recent years, Denzel Washington, Ellen DeGeneres and Andy Garcia all have lived in Williams homes.
At the Beverly Hills Hotel, Williams designed the iconic Polo Lounge, the Crescent Wing and the Pink Palace's signature loopy signage. He also chose the colors — pink and green — that would signify the ultimate in service to its pampered guests for a century.
Actor-philanthropist Bill Cosby recalls seeing a Williams home when he and wife Camille went house-hunting. The TV series I Spy made Cosby famous — and rich. He and Camille wanted to live in Beverly Hills, and they wanted a brick home. "Brick is not conducive to the desert heat that is Los Angeles," Cosby chuckles, "but we were looking for brick."
To the East Coast Cosbys, brick symbolized a certain kind of moneyed refinement. "Back home, stucco was for poorer people — and in the winter, it was cold," he recalls. So when they were shown a 1932 brick Colonial Revival floating on rolling lawns, they were intrigued. When they walked inside, they were sold. "The entry was grand," Cosby says, drawing the swirl of the staircase in the air with one finger, "but once one entered the house, it became a home."
That innate ability to make grand spaces cozy is another Williams signature.
Sitting in the 1951 home Williams designed for himself, his granddaughter says her grandfather made many pragmatic adjustments to the reality of racism in his day. "He taught himself to draw upside down so white clients wouldn't be uncomfortable sitting next to him." And, Hudson says with a smile, "it became one of the things he was known for." Williams toured construction sites with hands clasped behind his back, like an English royal, because he wasn't sure every person would want to shake a black man's hand. So he gave them the option of extending their hand first. Many of the neighborhoods in which his homes were located were closed to him because of his race.
That's something California had in common with several other American states — not all of them in the South. Hudson notes that there were also restrictive covenants in greater Los Angeles. "By law, he could not live in some of the places [where he designed homes]. Particularly in Flintridge, where he designed his first home in his own office, the land deed said a black person could not even spend the night."
She says Williams found a way to work around such barriers because he had an ultimate goal in mind. "He believed that for every home and every commercial building that he could not buy and that he could not live in, he was opening doors for the next generation."
In a 1937 essay for American Magazine called "I Am a Negro," Williams shared some of his own philosophy.
"Virtually everything pertaining to my professional life during those early years was influenced by my need to offset race prejudice, by my effort to force white people to consider me as an individual rather than a member of a race," he wrote. "I encountered irreconcilables who simply refused to give me a hearing, but on the whole, I have been treated with amazing fairness."

Enjoy an endless view of the cloud forest
The Observation Tower
One of the best ways to enjoy the beauty of Mashpi is from the observation tower. From here, we can appreciate a wonderful view of the canopy and the complex structure of the tropical forest, and on clear days we can see the lodge, the Reserve's boundaries and a mosaic of forest, crops and little villages beyond.
The tower is a metal structure with a staircase that rises about eight stories (26 m or 85 ft), ideal for the wildlife lovers. Species spotted from here include toucans, woodpeckers, barbets, tanagers and parrots, as well as birds of prey.
The observation tower is located near the Sky Bike and we combine the two activities.
The combination of activities – Sky Bike, Observation Tower and hike – lasts about 3 hours.
This trail leads from the Sky Bike landing station to the road, following the course of the river. Here we can come across a very special palm: Irearthea deltoidea, famous for being able to 'walk' towards the light in order to improve its chances of growth.

above the melt source, where magma may freely migrate because rock temperature is above melt solidus. The top of the free-ride layer, which corresponds to the melt solidus ( TS) isotherm, is at the 'limiting depth', zS. After magma passes through the free-ride layer, the magma 'front' is always at the limiting depth. We modeled the thickening and heating of the crust above the source as melt at its liquidus ( TL) intrudes it pervasively from below. We found that: (a) magma quickly warms crust below zS to about TL, forming a step in temperature at zS; (b) the front ( zS) moves up through the crust as more magma is intruded; (c) as magma is emplaced at the front, a mingled layer of about half magma half crust forms below it, so that the total rise of the front corresponds approximately to half of the thickness of magma added to the free-ride layer; (d) the rate of rise of the front depends on the temperature difference between crust and TL, and slows down as the magma front rises; (e) for most reasonable intrusion rates and volumes, the crust above zS feels little influence of the intrusion, because the diffusion time scale is much smaller than the rise rate of the front. In summary, pervasive migration is an efficient way of heating the lower to middle crust, and can result in an injection complex several kilometers thick, consisting of about half magma and half original crust.

 The Santa Ba??rbara Granite Massif is part of the Younger Granites of Rondo??nia (998 - 974 Ma) and is included in the Rondo??nia Tin Province (SW Amazonian Craton). It comprises three highly fractionated metaluminous to peraluminous within-plate A-type granite units emplaced in older medium-grade metamorphic rocks. Sn-mineralization is closely associated with the late-stage unit. U-Pb monazite conventional dating of the early-stage Serra do Cicero facies and late-stage Serra Azul facies yielded ages of 993 ?? 5 Ma and 989 ?? 13 Ma, respectively. Conventional multigrain U-Pb isotope analyses of zircon demonstrate isotopic disturbance (discordance) and the preservation of inherited older zircons of several different ages and thus yield little about the ages of Sn-granite magmatism. SHRIMP U-Pb ages for the Santa Ba??rbara facies association yielded a 207Pb/206Pb weighted-mean age of 978 ?? 13 Ma. The textural complexity of the zircon crystals of the Santa Ba??rbara facies association, the variable concentrations of U, Th and Pb, as well as the mixed inheritance of zircon populations are major obstacles to using conventional multigrain U-Pb isotopic analyses. Sm-Nd model ages and ??Nd (T) values reveal anomalous isotopic data, attesting to the complex isotopic behaviour within these highly fractionated granites. Thus, SHRIMP U-Pb zircon and conventional U-Pb monazite dating methods are the most appropriate to constrain the crystallization age of the Sn-bearing granite systems in the Rondo??nia Tin Province.
 18. The global age distribution of granitic pegmatites

 McCauley, Andrew; Bradley, Dwight C.
 2014-01-01
 An updated global compilation of 377 new and previously published ages indicates that granitic pegmatites range in age from Mesoarchean to Neogene and have a semi-periodic age distribution. Undivided granitic pegmatites show twelve age maxima: 2913, 2687, 2501, 1853, 1379, 1174, 988, 525, 483, 391, 319, and 72 Ma. These peaks correspond broadly with various proxy records of supercontinent assembly, including the age distributions of granites, detrital zircon grains, and passive margins. Lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites have a similar age distribution to the undivided granitic pegmatites, with maxima at 2638, 1800, 962, 529, 485, 371, 309, and 274 Ma. Lithium and Ta resources in LCT pegmatites are concentrated in the Archean and Phanerozoic. While there are some Li resources from the Proterozoic, the dominantly bimodal distribution of resources is particularly evident for Ta. This distribution is similar to that of orogenic gold deposits, and has been interpreted to reflect the preservation potential of the orogenic belts where these deposits are formed. Niobium-yttrium-fluorine (NYF) pegmatites show similar age distributions to LCT pegmatites, but with a strong maximum at ca. 1000 Ma.

 2. Hydrogeologic characterization of a fractured granitic rock aquifer, Raymond, California
 SciTech Connect
 Cohen, A.J.B.
 1993-10-01
 The hydrogeologic properties of a shallow, fractured granitic rock aquifer in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, California were investigated via the analysis of borehole geophysical logs and pumping tests. The drawdowns produced during these tests are not indicative of any simple conceptual aquifer model, and borehole logs show that the granite is intensely fractured. These observations are suggestive of a complex fracture-flow geometry which is extremely difficult to decipher. However, through the measurement of orientations of individual subsurface fractures from acoustic televiewer logs, and correlation between particular fractures and electrical resistivity and thermal-pulse flowmeter logs, it was found that the aquifer is, in general, comprised of two subhorizontal and nearly parallel zones of unloading fractures. Downhole flowmeter measurements taken in several wells provide further evidence for

Long before Kerrygold was ever heard of - in fact, as far back as written records go - dairying has played a starring role in Ireland. In the old days, Irishmen kept cattle for milk more than for meat, and status was derived from the bounty of your herd.
How did cows become the cornerstone of Irish wealth? Simple. Ireland was made for milk. It has everything you need to make a cow happy: good soil, a mild climate, moisture-bearing southwesterly winds, and all the green grass you can chew.
It didn't take long to figure out that happy cows produce amazing milk, which can then be churned into unbeatable butter. As early as the 17th century, Ireland was sharing its butter with the world. Irish boats were being met at the dock by salivating Swedes, Danes, Portuguese, Frenchmen, Spaniards and American colonists - just as Kerrygold butter is today.
The butter is so appealingly golden that it looks as though it has been colored, although the color is natural, coming from the beta-carotene in the intense green Irish grass consumed by the cows. Made in the style of all premium European butters, Kerrygold's higher fat content gives its butter a distinctive richness. The foil wrapper preserves freshness and premium quality

RenderJPG is straightforward to those developers familiar with GDI+. It initialize and destroy GDI+ with GdiplusStartup() and GdiplusShutdown respectively. It loads the "yes.jpg" with the Bitmap class. bmp is the Bitmap with the same dimension as the video. We fill bmp with black color using FillRectangle(). Then we calculate the aspect ratio of the jpeg file and video frame. If w_ratio_jpg is greater than w_ratio_bmp, it means image is wider than video so you will see 2 horizontal black bars at the top and bottom of the video, otherwise you shall see 2 vertical black bars on the 2 sides of the video. In other words, we try to render the image as much as to cover the video while maintaining its original aspect ratio. To get bmp pixel pointer, we must call LockBits() and UnlockBits() afterwards after use. You notice in the double for loop, the image is rendered vertically upside down, so that it appears correctly in the video output.

Two JPEG Video
For the third example, we display first image and slowly alphablend with the second image until it appears. You can see the effect by looking at the video.
Since main function is exactly the same as previous except frameRenderer is set to Render2JPG, we skip showing it.
Render2JPG is almost similar to RenderJPG, except it loads 2 jpeg with the Bitmap class. The transparency stored in alpha variable is zero(total transparent) and 255(total opaque) when the duration is less or equal to 1000 milliseconds and is more or equal to 2000 milliseconds respectively. Between duration of 1000 and 2000 milliseconds, the alpha is calculated. A little note about the frame_duration = 1000 / fps: it is imprecise because it is in integer. For example, when the fps is 30

An accurate weighing system for crimping and dry-rolling machines
The innovative Kelvin Cave on-board weighing system for crimping and dry-rolling machines takes the guesswork out of the tonnage being processed allowing accurate application of preservatives and a reliable measurement of crop yield.
The system comprises three integrated load cells; one each in a pair of independently levelling hydraulic rear jack legs and one on the drawbar. These are linked to a computer unit that can be located in the tractor cab and interfaced by a series of push buttons and an LCD screen. Set-up and operation is both quick and simple:
- Machine is hydraulically jacked and levelled.
- Tare weight of the unladen machine is recorded and the system zeroed.
- The hopper is filled and a micro-switch on the grain door triggers the computer as the first of the grain is delivered to the rollers. Loss in weight from the hopper is detected by the load cells and output from the elevator calculated in kilos per second.
The key strength of the system lies in the fact that it is not necessary to suspend operation while the hopper is replenished. As soon as any gain in weight as grain is tipped into the hopper is detected, the computer suspends real-time output monitoring and calculates the average output over the previous corresponding period. Once it detects that no further weight is being added to the hopper it adds the weight to the last recorded figure and the system reverts to real-time calculations once again.
This means an entire batch of grain can be processed without interruption.
Exhaustive trialling across a range of cereals has shown consistent accuracy to within ±1% of actual weighbridge checks. Batch data can be stored in the computer and recalled at any time or downloaded for permanent logging.
The weighing system has been developed jointly between Kelvin Cave Ltd and weighing equipment specialist Griffiths Elder and employs proven technology throughout.
It is available for retrofit on certain machines and as an affordable option on all new models.

Buffel grass spread may threaten sheep nutrition
Summer rain over the past three to four seasons has provided ideal growing conditions for buffel grass, a weed that could pose considerable risk to native vegetation, sheep nutrition and increase the impact of a wild fire.
Natural Resources Northern and Yorke Team Leader Landscape Kevin Teague says while buffel grass has been around for at least the past 25 years in the Northern and Yorke region, summer rains have seen the plant "explode" in growth, particularly along Highway 1 between Port Augusta and Port Pirie.
"It's been a sleeper weed, so even though we knew buffel grass had been in small areas for a long time, it's been very localised, but in the last three years we've had good summer rains and it's just exploded, spreading into areas we haven't seen it in before," he says.
Mr Teague says while buffel grass has long been known for its benefits as sheep feed during summer months, the weed's competitiveness and ability to set seed has the potential to out compete native vegetation, vital for balanced sheep nutrition.
"Buffel grass's ability to colonise an area is of particular concern, it can invade and choke out native vegetation," he says.
"While there's plenty of native vegetation around, sheep can do all right on buffel grass, but if that native vegetation is not there they won't.
"We don't want to get to a stage of a monoculture of buffel grass because then the sheep won't thrive, they won't get the nutrition they need from a mix of native vegetation along with the buffel grass.
"We know it provides green feed for the sheep during the summer months, but it's the long-term effects we're most worried about."
Mr Teague says buffel grass also poses a greater threat during the event of a wild fire as it burns much hotter than native vegetation.
"Because it burns so much hotter, the seeds and crowns of native vegetation could be burned out," he says.
"Normally in the event of a wild fire this native vegetation could grow back, but because it's so much hotter we could see it burnt out and potentially buffel grass becoming the dominant species in a location.
"We could see buffel grass grow so thick that there's no chance for native vegetation to grow back into an area."
