A hydraulic analysis of the Mad River in a reach at Springfield, Ohio was made to determine the effects of relocating State Highway 41 in 1976. The main channel was cleaned by the dredging in the vicinity of the new highway bridge and at the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railway bridge upstream. The new highway was placed on a high fill with relief structures for flood plain drainage consisting of 12-foot corrugated metal pipe culvert and a bridge opening to accommodate the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railway and a property access road. The effect of the new highway embankment on drainage from the flood plain was requested. Also requested was the effect that might be expected on the elevation of flood waters above the new highway embankment if the access road through the new highway embankment were raised.
The study indicates that the improvement in the capacity of the main channel to carry water was such that, up to discharge equivalent to a 25-year frequency flood, the water-surface elevation in the reach upstream from the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railway bridge would be about 0.6 foot lower than under condition prior to the construction on State Highway 41. Diversion through the Mad River left bank levee break above the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railway bridge to the flood plain would be decreased about one-half in terms of rate of discharge in cubic feet per second. The maximum difference in elevation of the flood water between the upstream and downstream side of the new State Highway 41 embankment would be about 0.2 foot, with and additional 0.4 foot to be expected if the access road were raised 1.5 feet.

If the mouse moves, each photo will be different. Then all the sensor has to do is to analyze the differences to determine the coordinates. When we say "photo," we obviously don't mean a realistic portrait of your desk, but rather snapshots that bring out the irregularities and the structure of its surface. This makes it easier to compare the differences and determine movement.

What are people who read tea leaves called? Taylor's profession is formally known as tasseography or tasseomancy — terms derived from the French tasse, for cup, and the Greek suffix graph, for writing, or mancy, for divination. Practitioners look for insights by examining the patterns created by loose tea leaves left over after a cup has been drained.
What is the origin of reading tea leaves? Tea leaf reading, also known as tasseography, is said to have origins in Asia, the Middle East, and Ancient Greece, with Middle Eastern cultures typically using coffee. However, modern tea leaf reading began in the 17th century, when tea was introduced from China to Europe.
Is tea a reading divination? History of Tea Leaf Reading
Tea leaf reading is a special type of divination (fortune-telling) that involves interpreting the patterns of leftover tea leaves in a cup of tea. Tea leaf readers look for special symbols and shapes in these tea leaves, and use them to make predictions.
What does the phrase read the tea leaves mean? DEFINITIONS1. to look at the tea leaves in the bottom of a cup for a sign of what will happen in the future. Synonyms and related words. To use, or to be affected by magical or supernatural powers.

The contact obstacles include the a-frame, dogwalk, teeter, and table. Before the use of running contacts, high level performance of these obstacles generally required a stop in the contact zone (the end parts of the contact that are painted a different color, usually yellow). The most common stopped performance requires the dog to keep the two rear feet on the contact while the two front feet are on the ground (commonly referred to as 2 on 2 off). This is more difficult on the teeter, especially for lighter medium-sized dogs, and it's impossible for very small dogs because of the rebound of the plank when it first hits the ground.
Running contacts apply to the a-frame and dogwalk only, as the table requires a 5 second wait for the dog and the teeter requires the dog to wait until the plank hits the ground before the dog can leave the obstacle. Running contacts let the dog run up and over the obstacles without stopping, and care must be taken to teach the dog to hit the contact zone while running, which takes a lot of training and understanding for both handler and dog. Today, running contacts are mostly taught by teaching the dog to touch a mat. The mat is transitioned to a plank, which is eventually elevated to resemble a dogwalk. From there, the mat can be placed on an actual dogwalk. For more information on training running contacts, start with our podcast with Silvia Trkman, the 3-time FCI World Champion from Slovenia, who popularized running contacts: Interview with Silvia Trkman
For all the contacts, the most common problems arise for the exact same reasons as problems in the start line behavior—confusion over criteria, and stress over making mistakes.
First, when dogs are confused about criteria, they often have good stopped contacts at home or practice but not at trials. That's because at home, the handler rarely continues running a course if the dog misses a contact, especially if their instructor is watching. Instead, they redo the contact, or at least require the dog to perform the very end behavior (getting into a 2 on 2 off position without doing the entire obstacle). In a trial, when dogs miss a contact, or the dog hits the contact but self-releases, handlers simply ignore the mistake and keep running. When that happens, the dog learns that the criteria for the stopped contact behavior has changed—there are two different sets of criteria, one for home and one for trials. Some dogs take a middle approach and slowly creep into the contact zone at trials, waiting for the release from the handler. The amount of time lost on contacts, especially the dogwalk, can be agonizing for trainers. The solution is simple: never reward a dog who fails to meet criteria, in practice or in trials.
Second, when contacts have been a point of conflict in training, dogs often become avoidant of the entire obstacle in a trial. They are reluctant to set up, they avoid eye contact, they sniff the ground, and they remain in position even after the release cue is given. For this group of dogs, you need to change the way you deal with mistakes in your training. We recommend listening to this podcast: How to Work Through Mistakes in Your Agility Training
Here are two resources for improving your contacts (an article/video and a podcast):
- A Quick Training Tip for Improving 2 On 2 Off Contact Performance
- Five Tips for Better Contact Performance
The teeter is a special obstacle because it causes many problems for fearful dogs who will do it in practice but not in trials. Dogs can fear the teeter for three reasons, and they must be addressed in teaching the teeter: the loud sound the teeter makes when it hits the ground, the actual movement of the teeter, and the height of the teeter. Teeters can also look like dogwalks to the dog as they approach them, so it's important that the dog understand the difference between the two obstacles based on verbal cues, which have to be given very early, not when the dog is about to step onto the obstacle.

first class includes simple aggregation techniques like ranking, summation or average. Ranking is a very basic way to measure trustworthiness. In ranking algorithms, ratings are counted and organized in a descending order based on that value. This measure has no exact reputation score. Instead, it is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance/trustworthiness. Examples for systems using ranking algorithms are message boards like Slashdot or citation counts used to calculate the impact factor in academic literature. Other aggregation techniques that are well known due to the implementation on eBay or Amazon are the summation (adding up positive and negative ratings) or the average of ratings. Summation, though, can easily be misleading, since a value of 90 does not reveal the composition of positive and negative ratings (e.g. +100,-10 or +90,0). The average, on the other hand, is a very intuitive and easily understandable algorithm.
Statistic: Many of the prominent trust models proposed in the last years use a statistical approach to provide a solid mathematical basis for trust management. Applied techniques range from Bayesian probability over belief models to Hidden Markov Models. All models based on the beta probability density function (beta PDF) are examples for models simply using Bayesian probability. The beta PDF represents the probability distributions of binary events. The a priori reputation score is thereby gradually updated by new ratings. The result is a reputation score that is described in a beta PDF function parameter tuple (α, β), whereby α represents positive and β represents negative ratings. A well known model using the beta PDF is the Beta Reputation system. A weakness of Bayesian probabilistic models, however, is that they cannot handle uncertainty. Therefore, belief models extend the probabilistic approach by Dempster-Shafer theory (DST) or subjective logic to include the notion of uncertainty. Trust and reputation models involving a belief model were proposed by Jøsang or Yu and Singh. More complex solutions that are based on machine learning, use the Hidden Markov Model, a generalization of the beta model, to better cope with the dynamic behavior. An example was introduced by Malik et al..
Fuzzy: Aggregation techniques classified as fuzzy models use fuzzy logic to calculate a reputation value. In contrast to classical logic, fuzzy logic allows to model truth or falsity within an interval of [0,1]. Thus, it can describe the degree to which an agent/resource is trustworthy or not trustworthy. Fuzzy logic has been proven to deal well with uncertainty and mimic the human decision making process. Thereby, a linguistic approach is often applied. REGRET is one prominent example of a trust model making use of fuzzy logic.
Graph-based: A variety of trust models employ a graph-based approach. They rely on different measures describing the position of nodes in a network involving the flow of transitive trust along trust chains in network structures. As online social networks have become popular as a medium for disseminating information and connecting people, many models regarding trust in social networks have lately been proposed. Graph-based approaches use measures from the field of graph theory such as centrality (e.g. Eigenvector, betweenness), distance or node-degree. Reputation values, for instance, grow with the number of incoming edges (in-degree) and increase or decrease with the number of outgoing edges (out-degree). The impact of one edge on the overall reputation can depend on several factors like the reputation of the node an edge comes from or the distance of two nodes. Popular algorithms using graph-based flow model are Google's PageRank as well as the Eigentrust Algorithm. Other examples are the web-of-trust or trust models particularly designed for social networks as described in. As mentioned above, the weighting and aggregation phases are incrementally run through for several times due to the incremental nature of these algorithms.
The classification of the computation engine's components used in different trust models in this taxonomy is not limited to one component of each primary class. Depending on the computation process, several filtering, weighting and aggregation techniques can be combined and run through more than once. Malik et al., for instance, introduced a hybrid model combining heuristic and statistical approaches. However, our taxonomy can reveal the single logical components a computation engine is built on. Moreover, it serves as an overview of existing approaches. Since every currently known reputation system can find its position, to the best of our knowledge, this taxonomy can be seen as complete. Though, an extension by new classes driven by novel models and ideas is possible. Our hierarchical component taxonomy currently contains 3 primary component classes, 14 secondary component classes, 23 component terms and 29 subsets. Table 2 shows an excerpt of the hierarchical component taxonomy with building blocks of the primary class "weighting". The full taxonomy is provided in Additional file 1: Table S1.
The component taxonomy as a framework for design with reuse
The hierarchical component taxonomy introduced in the former section serves as a natural framework for the design of reputation systems with reuse. To support this process, we set up a component repository combining a knowledge and a service repository. Thus, it does not only contain information about software components on implementation level but also provides extensive descriptions of the ideas applied on a conceptual level. This comprehensive set of fundamental component concepts and ideas combined with the related implementation allows the reuse of both ideas and already implemented components.
In this section, we firstly describe the conceptual design of our component repository in detail. Then, we elaborate on the implementation of a web application employing our thorough repository to provide design knowledge for reuse on a conceptual and an implementation level.
Conceptual design of the component repository
Reuse-based software engineering can be implemented on different levels of abstraction, ranging from the reuse of ideas to the reuse of already implemented software components for a very specific application area. In this work, we want to apply our taxonomy for reuse on two levels – a conceptual level and an implementation level. Therefore, the developed repository provides design knowledge for reuse on two logical layers (see Figure 3).
Reuse on conceptual level
When reusing an implemented component, one is unavoidably constrained by design decisions that have been made by the developer. A way to prevent this is to conceive more abstract designs that do not specify the implementation. Thus, we provide an abstract solution to a problem by means of design pattern-like concepts. Design patterns are descriptions of commonly occurring problems and a generic solution to the problems that can be used in different settings. Our design pattern-like concepts consist of essential elements that are exemplary depicted in Table 3.
Reuse on implementation level
On implementation level, we provide fully implemented reusable components by means of web services in a service-orientated architecture. These services encapsulate the concepts' logic and functionality in independent and interchangeable modules to achieve the separation of concerns. The web services are incorporated via well-defined interfaces. All services provided are registered as artifacts in the service repository. An artifact contains essential information about one live reachable service such as ID, type (REST or ws), URL, description, parameters, example calls, example output, the design pattern that is implemented by the service, and tags describing the functionality. Table 4 shows an example artifact for the design pattern described above.
Implementation of the repository
To demonstrate the feasibility of our approach, we have prototypically implemented the repository as a web-based application in a three-tier client-server-architecture. To give an overview of the chosen architecture, we distinguish between server-side and client-side implementation.
On server-side, the logic is implemented in PHP on an Apache server (logic layer) connecting to a MySQL database (persistent layer). The MySQL database contains all data regarding the design patterns as described in Table 2. Each of these design patterns is also implemented in a web service. To enable a standardized realization of new web services and a flawless call via standardized interfaces, we employ an abstract class Component. All components (implemented as web services) must inherit from this class, which particularly requires overwriting the function calculate_values. To make the generic component independent of the input data, developers are advised to make use of the PHP function func_get_args(). In this way, distinct components can receive a variety of arguments. To consistently handle client calls, our architecture is extended by a WebserviceCallHandler. Figure 4 depicts the schematic layout.
All web services implementing the trust pattern currently described in our knowledge repository have been created and registered as artifacts in our service repository. Furthermore, these artifacts are described in detail including a definition of input, output and example calls as defined in Table 4.
Example call of a filtering component via the WebserviceCallHelper
To rigorously demonstrate the proper functioning and quality of our approach, we carry out a two-part evaluation of our artifact in this section. As there is currently no comparable framework, we firstly perform a descriptive scenario-based evaluation. According to Hevner et al., this is a standard approach for innovative artifacts like ours. To demonstrate the completeness of our taxonomy, we secondly conduct a static analysis, in which we match all components to the trust properties described in Section 'The notion of trust and its properties'.
Scenario analysis: Reputation system development
The fictitious web developer John Gray runs an electronic marketplace platform for philatelists and numismatics. The platform has been launched with his friends as the first users but has been growing fast. Meanwhile, most users do not know each other in person anymore. As a result, many of the initial users have stopped interacting with the newcomers as they do not trust them. After realizing this problem, John decides to introduce an online reputation system in order to establish trust among the strangers. In the following, we describe how our knowledge and service repository can help him to build a reputation system that perfectly meets his requirements.
Having read the basics on our component model, John concludes that he wants to build a computation engine that makes use of components of all three phases – filtering, weighting and

The J. Paul Getty Museum and Cabinet des Médailles of the Bibilotheque nationale de France (the department of coins, medals, and antiques of the National Library of France) are collaborating on the research and conservation treatment of the Berthouville Treasure, an extraordinary group of Roman silver objects from Paris.
The collection of ancient luxury items will be at the Getty Villa for a three-year-long conservation project followed by an exhibition. This project is an example of excellent collegial collaboration and a unique opportunity to study and treat this collection of ancient objects.
This rich cache of approximately 95 ancient Gallo-Roman silver vessels was discovered by a farmer plowing his field near the village of Berthouville in the region of Normandy, approximately 150 kilometers west of Paris, in March 1830. Shortly after this valuable discovery was made, it was determined that the collection was from the treasury of an ancient shrine dedicated to Mercury Canetonensis, a major deity of Roman Gaul. It seems to have been hastily buried during an invasion in the 3rd century A.D.
The collection arrived at the Getty Villa's conservation studios in Los Angeles in mid-December 2010, in eight large wooden crates accompanied by two of the Cabinet's curators, Mathilde Avisseau-Broustet and Cecile Colonna. Early the next morning—together with Getty Villa curators, museum registrars, preparators, and art conservators—they began the lengthy phase of carefully unpacking and sorting each object in preparation for detailed observation. Each object was carefully examined to assure that the items had arrived intact and undamaged.
While undergoing conservation treatment here at the Getty, each piece will be individually photographed, radiographed, cleaned, conserved, and closely studied by Museum conservators and curators, as well as Getty Conservation Institute scientists in preparation for an exhibition in 2014 at the Getty Villa.
We are very excited to continue this collaborative project, and will update you here as our work progresses.

The ARTS IN THE ALPS PERFORMANCE LABORATORY aims to cross fertilise UGA's performing arts, geography-urban studies and computer science communities to produce innovative performance as research (PAR1) (Nelson 2013, Riley & Hunter 2009). This new interdisciplinary community of 41 academics will allow the development of cutting edge art research, digital documentation, performance literacy tools and innovative forms of material and immaterial heritage. This will push the very boundaries of the scientific disciplines themselves, both methodologically and epistemologically, and in turn, create a new pluridisciplinary ecosystem at CUGA2. The aim is to align ourselves with the ways in which PAR is practised internationally and to draw on and develop UGA's body-society-technology (BST) expertise in performance. This will reframe the way in which fieldwork in performance, geography and computer science at UGA is practiced, produced and disseminated. Organised as three Work Packages (WP), each will maintain a tensional relation between the representational, the non-representational and the experiential aspects of performance making processes and productions. These Work Packages are:
WP1: Performance as Research Observatory
This WP will focus on the ontological, epistemological and methodological questions that arise from the transposition of PAR from the arts to social sciences (more specifically geography and urban studies) and computer science and back again. One of the underpinning questions is: How will we define the polysemic body across disciplines?
WP2: The stage as site, the virtual and the physical
Performance dramaturges and computer scientists will experiment with digital documentation techniques in theatrical contexts. Together researchers will address issues of real time capture, indexation and analysis of live performance asking:
To what extent does the virtual stage (media, mobiles, etc) shift the very notion of dramaturgy (weaving of actions) and documentation itself?
WP3: Mapping movement across bodies, spaces and communities
We will draw on the geography and urban planning's expertise in public space, performance's approach to the kinaesthetic and choreographic and computer science's capacity to capture and create multi-representational documentation prototypes of bodies in motion.
Designed as a continuum, WP1 will analyse, contextualise and interact the outcomes from the PAR experiments in WP2 and WP3. The results will include innovative open source archives of performance in terms of creative process, analysis and documentation.

Nitrous oxide administration
Nitrous oxide will move into air-filled cavities in the body that normally contain nitrogen; so as nitrous oxide transfers from the blood into the space, nitrogen transfers out. However, nitrous oxide is 34 times more soluble than nitrogen in blood. Thus, substantial quantities of nitrous oxide leave the blood and enter the bowel, but not much nitrogen can leave the bowel to enter the blood. The result is that during exposure to nitrous oxide, like in other compliant spaces, the volume of gas in the bowel increases. The amount of the increase depends on the alveolar partial pressure of nitrous oxide, the intestinal blood flow, and the duration of nitrous oxide administration.
It has been calculated that the volume of and enclosed air pocket can be doubled be inhalation of by 50% N2O and quadrupled by inhalation of 75% N2O after several hours.

What does the world look like through the eyes of a mantis shrimp? It's not a question most of us would think to ask, but a new study has given us the answer: It looks like nothing humans (or any other animals) have ever seen.
It turns out that these exotic sea critters—affectionately known to the researchers in the study as "shrimp from Mars"—can see a kind of light that, as far as we know, is not apparent to any other animal on the planet. Not only that, but certain parts of the shrimps' bodies can reflect the same kind of light, creating a signal only other mantis shrimp can see. Thanks to this phenomenon, the creatures have their own visual code—a completely private way to communicate with one another as they scuttle across the ocean floor.
A research team well versed in the ways of mantis shrimp was tipped off by a set of unusual structures within the animals' eyes. These structures use the same principles as man-made detectors built to sense circularly polarized light—a specialized kind of light used to reduce the glare off computer monitors and take clearer photographs. When the researchers poked tiny electrodes into the shrimps' eyes and directed circularly polarized light onto them, they found that the same cells responded in different ways, at times recognizing the properties of circularly polarized light.
As for what one mantis shrimp looks like to another, Tom Cronin, a biologist at the University of Maryland Baltimore County and one of the study's authors, says that "it's impossible to know."

Sybil Ludington(Sybil Ogden)
American Revolution heroine
Birthplace: Fredericksburg, N.Y. (now called Ludingtonville)
Ludington, the daughter of a New York militia colonel, is often called the "female Paul Revere." On April 26, 1777, the Ludingtons learned that the British, under Gov. William Tryon, were attacking Danbury, Connecticut, where revolutionaries stored their weapons. Sybil, 16 at the time, rode 40 miles through the night on horseback to gather soldiers to protect the armaments. The 400 troops that assembled successfully thwarted the British.Died: 2/26/1839

Product Description
Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis (HNPK)
Hereditary nasal parakeratosis (HNPK) is an inherited skin disorder that affects Labrador retriever dog breed. The disorder is characterized by development of crusts and fissures on the affected dog's nose pad. Generally, parakeratosis is a benign skin condition which causes dry and scaly skin. The disease is not contagious and some forms of it are hereditary, just like hereditary nasal parakeratosis in Labrador retriever
Characteristics and symptoms
Stratum corneum is the upper layer of the skin. It is composed of dead cells and as such contributes greatly to skin's barrier function. The cells in this layer lack nuclei and are high in keratin, an important protein for moisture retention, which keeps the skin flexible and strong. These cells are peeled off with time and replaced with new cells which are constantly being produced in the layer underneath.
In parakeratosis, the cells of stratum corneum retain their nuclei and are not completely keratinized, which causes loss of moisture and dry skin. With time, the condition progresses and dry scales start to form, which can result in deep cracks and fissures. Symptoms develop on the nose pad of affected dogs between 6 to 12 months of age. Fissures can be a source of inflammation and bacterial infection of the nasal skin. The condition can be painful and irritating, but the affected dogs are otherwise healthy. With the progression of the disorder, changes in the nose pigmentation occur, fading from its natural dark colour to a lighter pink shade.
There is no cure for hereditary nasal parakeratosis in Labrador retrievers. In order to preserve the dog's quality of life, lifelong maintenance and treatment of condition will be needed.
The disorder is caused by a point mutation in SUV39H2 gene. The mutation causes a delay in the differentiation of the keratinocytes in the nasal epidermis. Hereditary nasal parakeratosis is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Healthy parents of an affected puppy are obligate heterozygotes and therefore carry one mutant allele. Heterozygotes have no symptoms. When mating two carriers, each cub has a 25% chance of being affected, a 50% chance of being an asymptomatic carrier, and a 25% chance of being unaffected and not a carrier.

Dilworth Theater, Charlotte, N.C. 1939
Henderson County Public Library, Henderson, N.C.
The Dilworth Theater in Charlotte, N.C., was built for North Carolina Theatres, Inc., the company used by the Charlotte-based Wilby-Kincey theater chain for its North Carolina operations. The Dilworth was one of four Wilby-Kincey theaters operating in Charlotte. Located in the Piedmont region of the state, Charlotte had surpassed Wilmington as the state's largest city in 1910, and by 1940 had a population of more than 100,000, approximately thirty percent of which was African American. Charlotte was also the county seat of Mecklenburg County, the most populous county in North Carolina, with more than 150,000 residents. The Dilworth was located at 1609 South Boulevard in the neighborhood of the same name in South Charlotte.
In his book on Stillwell's drawings, Buildings as History: The Architecture of Erle Stillwell (Mitchell 2006, p. 132), William Mitchell describes the Dilworth as an exercise in "economical theater design".
Construction was concrete block, covered with stucco at the street front. The roof framing was steel bowstring trusses, clearly expressed in the front elevation. The Art-Deco design of the front was achieved solely by grooves in the stucco, forming pilasters on each side of the ticket lobby, a pattern of squares above, and two horizontal bands extending outward.
Plans for the Dilworth illustrate Stillwell's use of steel roof trusses, a construction technique common to movie theaters by the late 1930s. Such trusses enabled architects to design auditoriums capable of seating thousands of people and still provide unobstructed views of the screen from all parts of the house. Charlotte Herzog notes that in 1919, Thomas Lamb, architect of the Capitol Theater in New York City, employed a 170-foot steel truss, at that time the longest ever used in a building. (Herzog 1980, p. 85)
The Dilworth was the first North Carolina theater Stillwell had designed to be located outside of downtown and the first intended to be used as a secondrun houseshowing Hollywood films some months after their initial release in downtown theaters at cut-rate prices.
Front ElevationCharlotte Dilworth Theater, Courtesy of Henderson County Public Library, Henderson, N.C.
Dilworth was one of Charlotte's first "street-car" suburbs, planned in the 1890s and built out over the next four decades. The Dilworth Theater was approximately 1.5 miles from the center of downtown Charlotte.
The Dilworth had no mezzanine or balcony and little in the way of lobby or lounge amenities. Patrons bought their tickets from the box office in a recessed exterior lobby and entered the lobby, off of which were located toilets and a small cosmetic room for women. The shallow lobby led directly into the 600-seat auditorium. The screen was set into a small stage, but the Dilworth had no provisions for anything but the simplest forms of live entertainment (no fly loft or dressing rooms). The absence of a balcony suggests that the Dilworth was not designed to accommodate African Americans. Newspaper articles accompanying the opening of the theater make no mention of segregated spaces, and no "colored" admission prices are given in ads for the theater.
The Dilworth opened on Saturday, July 15, 1939. As had become customary, a dedication ceremony was held, attended by the mayor and open to the public. Much was made in newspaper coverage of the Dilworth Theater's contribution to the neighborhood, with local merchants taking out congratulatory ads and reminding readers of their convenient location in Dilworth. ("New Dilworth Theatre Opens, Filling Need for Large Section," Charlotte News, July 16, 1939, p. 10-A.)
The theater was destroyed in a fire in 1984.

The appraisal of zanamivir (Relenza) is an excellent working example of this difficult and important process.

Death by Heidegger Name: Institution: Introduction Death is concept that presents a number of challenge most of which make its explanations unclear. Every living organism eventually dies a fact that increases the human curiosity on the concept. Among the most conspicuous philosophers who tried to understand the concept of death is Martin Heidegger…
Extract of sample
However, death is more complex since it allows no chance for experience. Every other explanation about death to him is therefore mere speculation. Additionally, he observes that everyone is conscious of their inevitable death and always portray fear of the concept but people live their days fully without any psychological disturbance implying that people accommodate the sense of death. Every living organism eventually dies, this is a knowledge that man have but the fact that man cannot always explain the concept of death, people cannot always prepare for it. Scientists in their explanation of death allege death is a state of lifelessness that every organism acquire because of exhaustion of the body tissues. This is a general and a more realistic explanation but its application is relative as different interests groups offer more explanations to the human life well past their deaths. People believe in the existence of God and the life after death, this increases man's curiosity on the topic of death. However, unlike every other human concept, it is impossible to have a practical study of death. The only people with adequate experience of death are the dead themselves who unfortunately do not ever come back to share their experience with the living....

ife robin Erithacus (rubecula) superbus - a species of its own? Dutch Birding 23: 140–146.
- Although Dietzen et al. (2003) conclude that both Tenerife and Gran Canaria populations are independently derived from mainland populations and should constitute two species or all be placed in E. rubecula as subspecies, their data does not allow for a definite conclusion. The alternative explanation – that Tenerife was colonised by already-distinct Gran Canaria robins – has not been explored and the proposed model relies only on probabilistic inference. Likewise, the seemingly exact molecular dating is doubtful as it assumes a molecular clock that may or may not be correct, and of course the assumption that the ancestor of all robins was similar in colouration to superbus and not the continental birds is, being inferred from their model of colonisation, entirely conjectural.

Hierarchical refinement in isogeometric analysis for flexible multibody impact simulations
Detailed impact simulations in flexible multibody systems can be simulated based on reduced isogeometric analysis (IGA) models. However, a precise simulation of an impact requires a high element resolution in the contact area. Usually in IGA, global refinement methods are used, which are easy to implement. However, in the literature, also the use of hierarchical local refinement is proposed. The local refinement generates fewer countable degrees of freedom compared to an equivalent global refinement. Numerous application areas can be found in the literature, such as contact simulations, where the computational effort is reduced by local refinement. In this work, we introduce the inclusion of hierarchically refined IGA models within the floating frame of reference formulation. Thereby, the hierarchically refined IGA model is reduced and applied in impact simulations. In two application examples, we simulate the impact of twoand three-dimensional spheres and compare with an analytical solution. The focus here is on the comparison of calculation times and accuracy of globally and locally refined reference models. The third application example consists of two flexible double pendulums and is devoted to systems in which the bodies undergo both arbitrary rigid body motions and small elastic deformations.

Coleus Add Color To Summer Shade
By Norman Winter
Central Mississippi Research & Extension Center
Gardeners are always asking me what they can plant for color in the shade. Many people overlook foliage plants like coleus, and the new varieties of coleus will amaze you.
With the advent of the SuperSun coleus, we have varieties that will work right out in the middle of a pasture. Texas A & M has been evaluating coleus for full sun conditions in scorching hot cities like El Paso, Houston, Amarillo and Dallas/Fort Worth.
Burgundy Sun and Plum Parfait -- both burgundy -- scored highest in that Texas competition. In addition to excellent sun tolerance, they both have outstanding growth characteristics.
Plum Parfait has beautifully ruffled, lance-shaped leaves which are a purplish-plum color early in the growing season. The dark color is a survival advantage enabling the young plants to tolerate hot, full-sun conditions.
As summer's heat hammers away at other bedding plants, Plum Parfait becomes even more attractive, developing bold pink margins along its leaves. Choose prominent places in the landscape for this cultivar where it can be enjoyed close-up and appreciated for its beautiful pink highlights.
Plum Parfait actually grows prettier in Mississippi than in Texas. For two years at the Truck Crops Experiment Station in Crystal Springs, it grew beautifully in combination with Salsa Salmon-BiColor salvia.
Burgundy Sun is characterized by the deep, rich burgundy color of its large, oval- to heart-shaped leaves. This cultivar takes center stage when you want a strong visual impact, especially at a distance. It reaches a mature height of about three feet and is great planted behind a petunia like Pink Wave.
Solar Sunrise and Solar Shadow are other new coleus for those sunny or part-sunny areas that are so beautiful they are almost indescribable. Although they comprise the same colors, each leaf is different which also makes it difficult to describe.
Both plants have maroon, yellow, green and almost a plum or purple-colored leaves. Some have speckled bands of these colors and others look patchworked. The thing that sets Solar Sunrise apart from other coleus is its absolutely gigantic leaves.
Lemon Twist is another great coleus for the partially shady areas. It is a lemon-lime color and is gorgeous when planted with brightly colored impatiens in the lavender to purple range.
While all of these coleus are great for containers, our landscapes seem to come alive with a tropic carnival atmosphere once we put them in a well-prepared bed.
Coleus are low maintenance plants and easy to grow. They are almost foolproof when planted in well-drained soil and not overwatered. Keep flower buds pinched to encourage leaf production. Cutting grown coleus purchased from your nurseryman is the way to go for high quality. Seed-grown coleus are less satisfactory and are selected to produce flowers and seed.
Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers that can cause excessive greening. I like to lightly feed with a 10-10-10 fertilizer monthly.
Mulch your entire bed after planting to conserve moisture and to help your plants get established in their new home. Water your plants thoroughly at planting. Keep the root balls moist during the first 10 days after planting, then water as needed.
Just prior to a killing frost, it is easy to take cuttings of your coleus for enjoyment indoors. Coleus root quickly and are excellent choices for sunrooms and atriums.

Some bears are especially fond of larval bees and honey and will actively seek out hives in their home range. Consequently, beehives should be located as far as possible from timber and brush providing bears with cover and travel routes. Honey crops should be harvested as soon as possible after the spring, summer and fall nectar flows to reduce the attractiveness of hives to foraging bears, and prevent the loss of the new honey crop in the event of depredation. When possible, apiaries should be moved to new locations if bear activity is detected nearby.
To minimize possible damage to hives and prevent bears from establishing bad habits, apiaries in occupied habitat should be protected using electric fences, or at a minimum use bear-resistant platforms (with an overhang more than two metres above the ground).
Electric fencing has been shown to be almost 100 per cent effective in deterring bear damage. Compact apiaries are easier to protect with bear-resistant fencing than those scattered over a larger area, so beekeepers should consolidate hives to form the smallest apiary that can be practically managed.

Permanent Research Commons link: _URL_
Black mudfish (Neochanna diversus) were found at 39 of 80 sites in the Waikato region, New Zealand, ranging from large wetlands to small swampy streams. Of the sites with mudfish, 87% were dry at some time during summer. Sites with mudfish also generally had emergent and overhanging vegetation and tree roots, and showed low to moderate human impact. Black mudfish coexisted at some sites with juvenile eels or mosquitofish, but were absent from all sites with common bullies (Gobiomorphus cotidianus) or inanga (Galaxias maculatus). Sites with mudfish had almost exclusively semi-mineralised substrates or peat; only one site had mineralised substrate. Geometric mean catch rate for the 39 sites with mudfish was 0.70 fish per trap per night. Mean summer water depth was only 2.1 cm at sites with mudfish, compared to 22.6 cm at 41 sites without. Winter and maximum water depths were also less at sites with mudfish than at sites without mudfish. Mean turbidity was 11.5 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) at sites with mudfish, but 21.3 NTU at sites without mudfish. Mudfish catch rates were negatively correlated with summer water depth, winter water depth, disturbance scale rating, and turbidity. A discriminant function model based on these variables successfully predicted 95% of the sites with mudfish. Habitat preference curves are also presented.

Multiple of 999 can be Split into Groups of 3 Digits which Add to 999
From ProofWiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Theorem
Let $n$ be a (strictly positive) integer multiple of $999$.
Then it is possible to split $n$ up into groups of $3$ digits, counting from the unit position, to form $3$-digit integers which add up to $999$.
Examples
\(\displaystyle 4 \times 999\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle 3996\) $\quad$ $\quad$
\(\displaystyle \leadsto \ \ \) \(\displaystyle 3 + 996\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle 999\) $\quad$ $\quad$
\(\displaystyle 15 \times 999\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle 14 \, 985\) $\quad$ $\quad$
\(\displaystyle \leadsto \ \ \) \(\displaystyle 14 + 985\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle 999\) $\quad$ $\quad$
\(\displaystyle 47 \times 999\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle 57 \, 942\) $\quad$ $\quad$
\(\displaystyle \leadsto \ \ \) \(\displaystyle 57 + 942\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle 999\) $\quad$ $\quad$

When you load a Haskell source module into GHCi, it is
normally converted to byte-code and run using the interpreter.
However, interpreted code can also run alongside compiled code in
GHCi; indeed, normally when GHCi starts, it loads up a compiled
copy of the
base package, which contains the
Why should we want to run compiled code? Well, compiled code is roughly 10x faster than interpreted code, but takes about 2x longer to produce (perhaps longer if optimisation is on). So it pays to compile the parts of a program that aren't changing very often, and use the interpreter for the code being actively developed.
When loading up source files with
GHCi looks for any corresponding compiled object files, and will
use one in preference to interpreting the source if possible. For
example, suppose we have a 4-module program consisting of modules
A, B, C, and D. Modules B and C both import D only,
and A imports both B & C:
A / \ B C \ / D
We can compile D, then load the whole program, like this:
Prelude> :! ghc -c D.hs Prelude> :load A Skipping D ( D.hs, D.o ) Compiling C ( C.hs, interpreted ) Compiling B ( B.hs, interpreted ) Compiling A ( A.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: A, B, C, D. *Main>
In the messages from the compiler, we see that it skipped D,
and used the object file
D.o. The message
indicates that compilation for
isn't necessary, because the source and everything it depends on
is unchanged since the last compilation.
At any time you can use the command
to get a list of the modules currently loaded
*Main> :show modules D ( D.hs, D.o ) C ( C.hs, interpreted ) B ( B.hs, interpreted ) A ( A.hs, interpreted ) *Main>
If we now modify the source of D (or pretend to: using Unix
touch on the source file is handy for
this), the compiler will no longer be able to use the object file,
because it might be out of date:
*Main> :! touch D.hs *Main> :reload Compiling D ( D.hs, interpreted ) Skipping C ( C.hs, interpreted ) Skipping B ( B.hs, interpreted ) Skipping A ( A.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: A, B, C, D. *Main>
Note that module D was compiled, but in this instance because its source hadn't really changed, its interface remained the same, and the recompilation checker determined that A, B and C didn't need to be recompiled.
So let's try compiling one of the other modules:
*Main> :! ghc -c C.hs *Main> :load A Compiling D ( D.hs, interpreted ) Compiling C ( C.hs, interpreted ) Compiling B ( B.hs, interpreted ) Compiling A ( A.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: A, B, C, D.
We didn't get the compiled version of C! What happened? Well, in GHCi a compiled module may only depend on other compiled modules, and in this case C depends on D, which doesn't have an object file, so GHCi also rejected C's object file. Ok, so let's also compile D:
*Main> :! ghc -c D.hs *Main> :reload Ok, modules loaded: A, B, C, D.
Nothing happened! Here's another lesson: newly compiled
modules aren't picked up by
*Main> :load A Skipping D ( D.hs, D.o ) Skipping C ( C.hs, C.o ) Compiling B ( B.hs, interpreted ) Compiling A ( A.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: A, B, C, D.
HINT: since GHCi will only use a compiled object file if it
can sure that the compiled version is up-to-date, a good technique
when working on a large program is to occasionally run
ghc ––make to compile the whole project (say
before you go for lunch :-), then continue working in the
interpreter. As you modify code, the new modules will be
interpreted, but the rest of the project will remain

Project Foundry is an online project based learning (PBL) management system that allows students to design projects, keep track of deadlines and communicate with advisors and their parents what they have been working on throughout the day. Project Foundry is used by PBL schools throughout the country. Designed and built by practitioners who understand the project process, NLCS students can more easily keep on top of what academic requirements they must complete, how much credit they've earned, and access their transcripts, graduation standards, and projects.
Any given day, an NLCS student will use Project Foundry to:
- Develop a project proposal for a new project.
- Explain what she/he worked on through the day by logging about what he/she completed in a specific project.
- Write a journal entry to his/her advisor
- Examine what graduation standards still need to be completed.
Advisors, students, and even parents can have Project Foundry accounts to track progress! Email Nick at _EMAIL_ to request a parent account. Please include your first and last name, your email address, and your student's first and last name. Basically, students use Project Foundry to log at least hours every day, every week, and every year to stay on track. These hours turn into credits when students finalize projects or finish seminars with a passing grade.

Seven Things About Everything
Essay By: frog
Religion and spirituality
It may be controversial to explain Everything.
Submitted:Oct 11, 2009 Reads: 185 Comments: 0 Likes: 1
In the infinite space which everything is included, there are seven truths. Everything is cyclical, has equilibrium, can be broken down, is connected, is hypocritical, has the capability to go on forever, and comes to an end. Using various life like examples, we can find out the seven things in which drive people, plants and animals, the things the living create, and the space in which is inhabited by them.
Everything is cyclical. The easiest definition to a cycle is anything that repeats itself. The cyclical nature of the earth's rotation is true in people themselves. The earth goes round and so do humans. Where there is the happiness and joy of life there is the sadness and sorrow of death. A child is born an old man dies. A tree grows and it gets struck down by lightning. An idea emerges and it gets lost within the realms of history. The cycle of rain, seasons, and time are all included. What is true of physics and science and earth itself is also true for John, our imaginary example man.
There are two types of cycles. The first are good cycles which can be defined as any cycle that leads to receiving any necessity of life or seen as positively affecting life. The necessities of life are food, water, shelter, and love. (Love meaning sex and the continuance of the precious gift of life.) There are also bad cycles and these can be defined as any cycle that impedes one from receiving any necessity of life or seen as negatively affecting life.
John was caught up in many cycles that benefited his life and the lives of many others. He was involved in academics and his academic success gained him money which in turn allowed him to buy food, water, and shelter. John studied for school, went home practiced piano, helped his mother with chores, and then went to bed. He woke up the next morning and repeated the same process. These were all cycles that were seen as good and benefited John. When John grew older he found himself doing the same things but instead of school he found himself going to work, getting paid, buying food, and going to bed.
There are thousands of good cycles all of us find ourselves doing. Some examples include; showering, working, singing, dancing, exercising, volunteering, going to church, watching television etc. Now many would question that if John had watched television all his life he would be a nobody, but we must remember that the definition states what is seen to benefit life and leads to the gaining of one of the necessities of life is what defines a good cycle. John's balance of time is what would make him a success and this balance is what we will discuss after we touch on bad cycles.
John may seem so far to be free of bad cycles but there are some poor cycles that he participated in. When he turned eighteen he became very distressed because it was his senior year and decided that it was ok for him to smoke. What John failed to realize was that smoking was a cycle that would not benefit his life because he would soon find out that his "game" was no good anymore. John decided to quit his habit of smoking and he found himself in a worse situation than just not trying to smoke in the first place. He became easily angered and was short tempered after deciding to quit. John also became depressed after quitting smoking. He lost interest in many things and found himself not enjoying many activities he use to. He quit piano, quit sports, and became a couch potato watching T.V. day after day. These ongoing behaviors of doing what society calls nothing are called bad cycles because they cause misery for John and everyone around him.
Many people find themselves participating in bad cycles or non cycles. Some examples of bad cycles include; smoking, drinking, binging, purging, gambling, not practicing, not showering, quitting, prostitution, excessive porn, etc. Keep in mind the definition of bad cycles they are what impedes one from receiving a necessity of life and is seen as negatively affecting one's life. Some may question why quitting is a bad cycle, but remember it is only referring to quitting good cycles. Next we will discuss the fact that the earth is in a natural equilibrium.
I lied we are going to keep you in suspense until the next paragraph to discuss equilibrium. I also lied because there is a third controversial cycle. If numbers truly go on forever it is very possible that not only cycles go on forever but they are only a part of something much larger. For example if we look at time fragments we have seconds, minutes, hours, weeks, months, seasons, years, decades, eons, and so forth. Those periods must get smaller and larger forever if we look mathematically at them. There is the cycle that is called the accumulative which is referring to any cycle that starts out small and gets larger. A good example yet a tongue biter is evolution. Another example would be the capacity to get smarter and smarter over time but we know that sooner or later those other cycles will bring that capability to an end. We call that old age. Another improvable theory would suggest that our lives are only part of something much larger just like red blood cells are making us live there is a possibility that there is something studying us discussing what it is our purpose is. This section will make more sense once we continue on with equilibrium and the other facts to life.
We are always in search of the right balance, we don't want too much and we definitely will not settle for less. The earth needs good just as well as evil because what a boring life it would be for everyone without bad. There would be no heroes, no Nobel Peace winners, no need to get off our ass to do something because everything would be good just as is. I couldn't imagine a world without good either. Life and death fall in this category of equilibrium because without one there isn't the other. There is a female and male to create life without man or woman neither would exist. Even our biological bodies follow this rule and we call it homeostasis. What is true for the world is true for John.
What occurred to John after quitting was a physics term called equilibrium. What is true in physics is true with John. John deciding to quit a bad habit led to the effect of being ill tempered. It is true that it takes two negatives to create a positive. Because John did decide to quit(bad) something bad(bad), the two bads created good. Some may ask what about killing someone bad? Because we are dealing with life and death which is a natural cycle killing is always bad. It would be like trying to stop water from flowing downhill, possible yet stupid.
Each action has an equal and opposite reaction. There are many examples that we have hidden through our words. Stress is a label we put on uncomfortable living in everyday life. In health class we are taught to get rid of that stress by journaling, screaming in a pillow, and in anyway venting. Another example is what we find if we as humans move to space. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. We move to space which is good because we save the planet we are on from overcrowding. The negative is obviously unknown, but could include littering space with random metal objects from space shuttles. Beginning wars in space could be a problem. The cost of living in space and those who die figuring out how to live in space could be a few of many other problems to match with the good effects of living in space. A better example would be here from earth. Why were older siblings and adults able to get away with more in their age time? John's parents were able to get away with more mischievous behavior than John was ever to get away with. John found it hard to vent growing up. This is because John had to work less than his parents. His parents mowed the lawn with a push while John always got to use a rider so therefore the bad things he is able to do are less because he has spent less time doing good. Those who spend more time doing good spend more time doing badly in a sense.
What about relationships some may ask. Ah yes, the chemistry between people must follow the rules just as everything else. She or he must complete me. Personality plays a great role in relationships. If you have two people with the same personality they will have the same interests but will not make the best companions for each other. The magnet example opposites attract and similarities repel sums it up well. In our world putting two people who are exactly alike together for a long period of time is going to cause problems. If you were to compare a parent who had a major problem with a specific child to the child, their personalities would show up as the same. "We don't want them to make the same mistakes as we did" "you're acting just like your mother". Women complete men as men complete women and their personalities in the cases of failed marriages will be similar and vice versa.
What about John and Sabrina? John and Sabrina should by all means get a divorce if their personalities are too much alike. They are friends who met and just had many of the same interests. They like to volunteer, they both have happy personalities, they are very generous, and by all means that relationship really ends in a disastrous divorce because the divorce (negative) needs to match there successes in the past. Only after messy kid dividing divorce can John and Sabrina make a realistic life. No one has a perfect life.

NHibernate Caching: The Secong Level Cache Space Is Shared!
time to read 3 min | 439 words
Let us assume that you have an architecture that demands that you'll have a database per client (quite common, by my experiance), but the application layers are the same. This is usually done for reasons of security and/or scalability. So there is no way a client can get information for another client.
This is fairly simple to handle with NHibernate, you just create a session factory per each client. This is actually an advantage, since you can start playing with the implementations of the classes for each client. (Yes, you are reading me correctly. In this case, it possible to turn NHibernate into an Inversion Of Control container).
The issue turns up when you have caching turned on. Assuming you have an entity of the same type with the same identifier in two of the databases, you may very will mix the data when it is cached. NHibernate maintain a single second level cache per session factory, so you are supposed to be safe from this. The problem is that the cache space is shared (and it has to be shared).
Let us take an example of an Employee object with id of #5, which exist in both IniTech and Fuzbar databases. When the employee instnace is loaded and put in the cache, the cache key that is used looks something like: "NHibernate:Entities.EmployeeManagement.Employee:5@5". Now, when we try to load an employee from the second database, we first lookup in the cache, finding that there is an instance there, because the cache keys matches.
This is happening because the cache space (so to speak) is the same space for all the caching strategies. For SysCache, it is the ASP.Net cache that is used for the cache space. For distributed caching, Memcached is used. In both cases, if the same cache key is generated, the information will be returned even if the key was actually inserted by another session factory.
In this sceanrio, I solved the issue by modifying the SysCacheProvider to be aware of the current database, and insert the current database name to the cache key. This solved all the issues in one stroke.
The JIRA issue for this is here. I was surprised to learn that I was the first to encounter this, and in the comments to the JIRA issue, I found that indeed I wasn't the first. :-)
The issue is solve by specifying cache region prefix in the session factory configuration, but the functionality wasn't ported to NHibernate yet.

A Practical Application of Code of Ethics in Failure Case Studies
Forensic Engineering 2022: Elevating Forensic Engineering - Selected Papers from the 9th Congress on Forensic Engineering
Several packages of failure case studies have been published by the Education Committee of the ASCE Forensic Engineering Division aiming to promote failure literacy of professionals and students in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries. This paper discusses the efforts of the committee to compile a collection of failure case studies of ethics, including design flaws of Citicorp Building (NY, US), Harbour Cay Condominium collapse (FL, US), Rana Plaza collapse (Savar Upazila, Bangladesh), Sampoong Superstore collapse (Seoul, South Korea), Versailles Wedding Hall (Israel), Hyatt Regency Walkway collapse (MO, US), Montreal Olympic project management failure (Montreal, Canada), and Flint water crisis (MI, US). The paper discusses the overview of three cases in ethics and provides guidance on using these cases to understand and interpret the code of ethics of professional engineers. Lessons learned from these cases are presented, reaffirming that all professional engineers should commit to ethical responsibilities in society, the natural and built environment, the profession with regards to their clients, employers, and peers. It concludes that the health, safety, and welfare of the public should take precedence over all other responsibilities of practicing professional engineers.

"Spokane is taking what's described as another big step toward improving water quality.
New policies adopted last week require City Hall purchasing managers to give preference to PCB-free products ranging from road paint to packaging materials. The goal is to cut the amount of toxic pollution being swept into the Spokane River and other waterways from largely unregulated sources.
'Even though the manufacture of PCBs have been outlawed and banned, they're a byproduct of certain manufacturing processes,' said Council President Ben Stuckart, who calls the carcinogenic man-made compound one of the most dangerous pollutants getting into the river. "So, products that we have still often contain PCBs.'"

The British architecture firm, Zaha Hadid Architects, working together with Estonia's Esplan, have been awarded the first place in the design competition for the new terminal of the Rail Baltic railway at Ülemiste, Tallinn.
Rail Baltic is a planned 870 km electrified railway from Tallinn in Estonia to the Lithuanian-Polish border. The terminal will be the starting point of the Rail Baltic line connecting Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius with the European high-speed rail network, Zaha Hadid Architects said in a statement.
The Ülemiste terminal is designed as a connecting public bridge used by the local community as well as multi-modal transport hub for commuters, national and international rail passengers in addition to air travellers using the adjacent Tallinn airport, the company added.
Smooth integration of other public transport
"Circulation routes through the building have determined the station's spatial geometry to aid navigation and the smooth integration of bus, tram and rail lines that intersect at the terminus," the company noted.
"Incorporating a modular structural system built in phases to enable ongoing operations on the rail lines throughout construction, the station has been designed and planned to BREEAM benchmarks and guidelines."
BREEAM, the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, first published by the Building Research Establishment in 1990, is the world's longest established method of assessing, rating and certifying the sustainability of buildings. More than 250,000 buildings have been BREEAM-certified and over a million are registered for certification – in more than 50 countries worldwide.
Also designing the Tallinn Old City Harbour
Rail Baltic Estonia announced the international design competition for the terminal station in Ülemiste in May 2019. The competition ended on 3 September.
In August 2017, it was announced that Zaha Hadid Architects were to design the Tallinn Old City Harbour. The Port of Tallinn praised the company's innovative and integrated approach to Tallinn's maritime gateway. "Zaha Hadid has very skilfully created a balanced connection between urban space and the port area with some carefully considered access roads and traffic solutions," Valdo Kalm, the chairman of the Port of Tallinn, said in a statement at the time.
Zaha Hadid Architects is a British international architecture and design firm founded by the Iraqi-British Zaha Hadid (_PHONE_), who was the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize (2004), equivalent of the Nobel Prize of architecture. Her firm's major works include the BMW Central Building in Leipzig, Germany; the Bridge Pavilion in Zaragoza, Spain; the Guangzhou Opera House in China; the Riverside Museum in Glasgow, Scotland, the UK; the London Aquatics Centre in the UK; and the Port Authority Building in Antwerp, Belgium, among many others.

Modeling the formation and deposition of frazil ice beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf
Andreas Bombosch, Adrian Jenkins
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
Large areas of the Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf are underlain by layers of marine ice, which form when supercooled seawater circulating beneath the ice shelf freezes. The freezing process initially produces a suspension of disc‐shaped frazil ice crystals, and these are subs quently deposited onto the ice shelf base in areas where the flow of water is slack enough. This has been modeled assuming that the freezing takes place within buoyant plumes of Ice Shelf Water ascending the ice shelf base from source regions near the grounding lines of the major inlet glaciers. The deposition of the majority of the suspended frazil ice is found to occur in spatially discrete bursts, where peak rates of accumulation at the ice shelf base exceed 1 m yr−1 of solid ice. There is a good correlation between the location of the zones of crystal deposition and the position of the upstream limits of the marine ice layers. The high rates of localized accumulation account for the rapid buildup observed in the layer thickness, which then gradually declines as the marine ice is carried downstream with the flow of the ice shelf. Model results also suggest an origin for the ice platelets observed at depth in the water column near the Filchner Ice Shelf.

Acoustothermal tweezer for droplet sorting in a disposable microfluidic chip

Abstract
Precise control over droplet position within a microchannel is fundamental to droplet microfluidic applications. This article proposes acoustothermal tweezer for the control of droplet position, which is based on thermocapillary droplet migration actuated by acoustothermal heating. The proposed system comprises an acoustothermal heater, which is composed of a slanted finger interdigital transducer patterned on a piezoelectric substrate and a thin PDMS membrane, and a PDMS microchannel. In the proposed system, droplets moving in a droplet microfluidic chip experience spatiotemporally varying thermal stimuli produced by acoustothermal heating and thus migrate laterally. In comparison to previous methods for droplet sorting, the acoustothermal tweezer offers significant advantages: first, the droplet position can be manipulated in two opposite directions, which enables bidirectional droplet sorting to one of three outlets downstream; second, precise control over the droplet position as well as improved droplet lateral displacement on the order of hundreds of micrometers can be achieved in a deterministic manner, thereby enabling multichannel droplet sorting; third, the PDMS microfluidic chip is disposable and thus can be easily replaced since it is attached to the substrate by reversible bonding, which allows the acoustothermal heater to be reused. Given these advantages, the proposed droplet sorting system is a promising droplet microfluidic lab-on-a-chip platform for tunable, on-demand droplet position control.

Coevolution
Absolute or Relative Fitness
Traditional evolutionary techniques rely on a fitness function that measures how high is a certain instance of a program in the pyramid of learning. The genetic algorithm is trying to reach a maximum fitness value.
However, in more realistic domains the calculation of an absolute fitness value must be abandoned. We want to use the computer to solve a problem for which we ourselves don't know the answer.
The technique of coevolution tries to learn by setting an arms race where partial solutions compete among themselves for partial credit. The fitness value for a particular individual is its relative success in the current generation.
As the evolutionary experiment goes on, it is difficult to have a measure of general improvement, since there is no available measure. In Tron we use only inconclusive indicators: The duration of the games (games among knowledgeable players should be longer) or the performance against a human player or a certain individual program used for comparison.

What is a Grammar Stream?
Swindon Academy Grammar Stream was launched in September 2016 and is the only Grammar Stream in Swindon. A Grammar Stream is an educational arrangement whereby a group of students are educated in a mainstream school, but follow a Grammar School-style curriculum that is taught by subject specialist teachers. All pupils in the Grammar Stream have been identified as having the ability to understand the level at which work is taught, meaning that the teacher has less differentiation to address in their teaching and the group will make good progress together.
A Grammar Stream has several advantages over Grammar Schools: firstly, a Grammar Stream in Swindon enables local pupils to enjoy a Grammar-style curriculum, without having to undertake a long bus journey twice daily to Grammar Schools outside of the Swindon area. Secondly, pupils who attend the Grammar Stream are from a variety of backgrounds and are mixed gender, meaning that pupils learn how to socialise and communicate effectively with others.
Swindon Academy is well-placed to provide a Grammar Stream for several reasons: Firstly, we have a highly successful partnership with Marlborough College, a prestigious school who supports the educational experiences of our pupils. Secondly, Swindon Academy was rated a 'Good' by Ofsted in May 2017 in all areas. Thirdly, Swindon Academy is the top school in Swindon for student progress. Finally, GCSE results were the highest ever with Year 11 pupils achieving 67% 5A*-C, including English and maths in 2018.

PostgreSQL – REGEXP_REPLACE Function
 - Last Updated : 01 Feb, 2021
The PostgreSQL REGEXP_REPLACE() function is used to replaces substrings that match a POSIX regular expression with a new substring.
Syntax: REGEXP_REPLACE(source, pattern, replacement_string, [, flags])
Let's analyze the above syntax:
 - The source is a string where the search and replace opertaion in executed.
 - The pattern is a POSIX regular expression for matching substrings which is to be replaced.
 - The replacement_string is a string which replaces the substrings using match the regular expression pattern.
 - The flags argument is used to control the behaviour of the function for matching characters.
 - The PostgreSQL REGEXP_REPLACE() function returns the final string after the replacement of the original string with the substring.
Example 1:
For instance imagine you have a name of a person in the following format:
first_name last_name
And you want to rearrange the name as follows:
last_name, first_name
To do this, you can use the REGEXP_REPLACE() function as shown below:
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE('Raju Kumar', '(.*) (.*)', '\2, \1');
Example 2:
Suppose you have data in the form of a string. This string is mixed with alphabets and digits as follows:
The following query removes all alphabets e.g., A, B, C, etc from the source string:
SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE('ABC12345xyz', '[[:alpha:]]', '', 'g');

The Leakwise sensors use a patented, high- frequency Electromagnetic Absorption technique. Each floating sensor houses a high-frequency electromagnetic energy transmitting and receiving antennas which continuously monitor the liquid surface. Since water absorbs more electromagnetic energy than hydrocarbons, changes in the absorption rate of water indicate the presence or buildup of hydrocarbons.
The Leakwise sensors can be used to detect and monitor the buildup of separated or emulsified non- soluble hydrocarbons on water and other aqueous solutions. No other oil sheen monitoring system does this.

Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS)
The Star Plot is one of popular methods for visualization of multivariate data. This method displays each data record as a star-shaped icon by mapping all variables (dimensions) on radiating rays (axes) originated from a single point. The number of such icons is equal to the number of data items (records). As the number of dimensions and the size of data set increase, Star Plot visualization soon becomes too cluttered because many rays have to be accommodated within small circular area and individual icons also become too small. To overcome these problems associated with visualization of high-dimensional multivariate data, we propose different ways of effectively using the Star Plot method. First, instead of displaying multiple star-shaped icons, one for each data item, we plot all data items together. With this overlapping, the entire display space can be used for rendering. Second, we shift the origin outward to produce a circle in the center, the circumference of which provides the origin points for the respective axes and increase the spacing between rays toward low-value ends. Third, to accommodate a very large number of dimensions, we adopt a multi-level approach in which we partition the dimensions into groups and plot corresponding rays in multiple concentric circular rings. For instance, our two-level Star Plot draws a subset of rays (e.g., 1/4th of total dimensions) in inner small circle and the rest (3/4th dimensions) in outer larger ring. The GUI support allows the user choose desired Star Plot option and also dynamically adjust the dimension partitioning and the ring boundary. We have demonstrated the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed Star Plot extension by visualizing three multivariate data sets of varying number of dimensions.
