Driving your Nissan Murano with engine hesitation or slow acceleration is not only infuriating, it can also be dangerous when overtaking or when crossing an intersection. Sluggish acceleration is a symptom of an underlying problem with your Murano, which must be resolved urgently before it does more damage to your vehicle.
The most common causes for slow acceleration in Nissan Murano are clogged air filter, dirty mass air flow sensor (MAF), clogged fuel filter, fuel pump malfunction, faulty oxygen sensor, dirty throttle body, worn spark plugs and clogged catalytic converter. Less common causes are faulty throttle position sensor (TPS), bad ignition coils, dirty fuel injectors, clogged engine oil filter, transmission problem, worn piston rings and blown head gasket.
1. Clogged air filter
If the air filter is dirty in your Nissan Murano, it can have a negative effect on the performance of the engine, as less air passes through the dirty filter which suffocates the engine. This ultimately also increases fuel consumption. In the worst case, the engine can stall if the air filter is extremely clogged.
Replacing the filter on your Murano takes a few minutes and does not require any special knowledge. So this is the first thing you should check.
2. Dirty or faulty mass air flow sensor (MAF)
Defective or dirty mass air flow sensor (MAF) in your Nissan Murano can result in loss of power, uneven engine running, erratic idling, misfires, poor exhaust emission values including black smoke. The mass air flow sensor is part of the engine's intake system and is located between the air filter box and the throttle valve. It is not only important for power delivery in your Murano, but also for the lowest possible pollutant emissions.
What happens when MAF sensor malfunctions in Nissan Murano?
If the MAF sensor is defective or dirty, it does not send correct measured values to the control unit of Murano. The optimal amount of fuel can no longer be calculated which results in either too little or too much fuel injected into the combustion chambers. The engine runs too "lean" or too "rich". This can cause the engine warning light to illuminate in the instrument cluster and the fault can be read out by a diagnostic device.
What causes MAF sensor to fail in Murano?
The mass air flow sensor is a wearing part. As the mileage increases on your Murano, it can happen that increasingly inaccurate values are sent to the engine control unit. With a noticeable loss of performance and high mileage, a defective MAF sensor should definitely be considered. However, the sensor can also malfunction earlier. When driving fast in heavy rain, water can occasionally pass through the air filter, which can severely impair the function of the MAF sensor. In rare cases, the MAF sensor can also be damaged by oil vapors flowing back out of the crankcase ventilation after the engine has been switched off.
How to check if the MAF sensor is bad in Nissan Murano?
Reading out the fault codes using a diagnostic device is relatively reliable. If you see P0100, P0101, P0102, P0103 or P0104 code in the OBD2 scanner, it indicates a problem with the mass air flow sensor. However, it can happen that there are no error codes. In case of doubt, the sensor may have to be replaced. But this should only be done after an extensive analysis as the MAF sensor may not be responsible for the symptoms of poor acceleration in your Murano.
Can I clean a dirty MAF sensor in Nissan Murano?
In some cases, cleaning the mass air flow sensor can help the sensor measure the correct values again. However, caution is advised here, as the sensor parts are very sensitive to touch. Find the location of the MAF sensor in your Murano, unplug the electrical connectors, and remove the sensor from the housing. Spray at least 10 spurts of MAF cleaner onto the sensor and then let it air dry for an hour or until completely dry. Do not use cloth or cotton swabs to clean the sensor, as it can damage it.
Note (MAP Sensor): If you can't find MAF sensor in your vehicle, it is possible your vehicle may not have one, especially if its an older vehicle. Instead, the air mass flow rate is calculated by the control unit using the data from the MAP sensor. A faulty MAP sensor presents more or less the same symptoms as a faulty MAF sensor.
3. Clogged fuel filter
If the fuel filter is clogged in your Nissan Murano, not enough fuel can get into the engine. This causes loss of power and jerking of the vehicle when accelerating. In worse case scenario, engine cuts out while driving due to insufficient fuel supply.
If this happens, the control unit in Murano can detect the lack of fuel problem and the engine check light will illuminate. You may see error code P0087 when you connect OBD2 scanner to your vehicle, which indicates a fault within the fuel delivery system.
How does the fuel filter get clogged in Murano?
The fuel filter is designed to prevent rust particles and other debris from your vehicle's fuel tank from getting into the engine, where they would cause expensive damage. If you don't follow the maintenance schedule of your Murano and don't change the fuel filter on time, the permeability of the filter drops and so does the fuel pressure in the engine. To a certain extent it does not matter, but if the fuel filter becomes too dirty, the engine performance will be reduced.
4. Clogged catalytic converter
The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust system in Nissan Murano and its main purpose is to convert exhaust gases that are harmful to health and the environment into less harmful byproducts. Over time, toxins accumulate and clog up the catalytic converter, especially if the vehicle has racked up a lot of miles.
What are the signs of bad catalytic converter in Nissan Murano?
Common signs of clogged catalytic converter in Murano are irregular running of the engine, unusual exhaust gas odor, poor fuel economy, engine check light illuminates, limited performance above a certain speed or loss of performance, and sometimes rattling noises.
How long does the catalytic converter last in Nissan Murano?
There are many factors that affect its service life, but typically the catalytic converter last between 70,000 and 100,000 miles in Murano. However, it can fail much earlier due to other faults, for example: misfires in the engine, bad air-fuel mixture, faulty oxygen sensor or coolant in the combustion chambers can lead to catalytic converter failure.
5. Faulty oxygen sensor
The oxygen sensor in Nissan Murano monitors the level of pollutants in the engine's exhaust gases and reports the data to the control unit that continuously adjusts the air to fuel ratio in the engine. If the oxygen sensor develops a fault, it will send incorrect readings to the control unit which can result in slow acceleration, loss of power, irregular idling, engine hesitation, or stalling.
Can a bad O2 sensor lead to catalytic converter failure in Nissan Murano?
Faulty oxygen sensors are the leading cause of catalytic converter failures. If you suspect a problem with O2 sensor, you should act immediately and get it checked by a professional mechanic. O2 sensors are relatively cheap compared to the price of catalytic converters, which can easily cost you over a thousand dollars to replace.
How to check for faulty oxygen sensor in Murano?
If there is any fault in the oxygen sensor, it usually illuminates the engine check light in the instrument cluster of Murano. You can diagnose the problem by connecting an OBD2 scanner to your vehicle. If you see any error code from P0130 to P0135 or from P0150 to P0155, it indicates a problem with the upstream oxygen sensor.
6. Dirty throttle body
Dirty throttle body can also be the cause of slow acceleration in your Nissan Murano. The common signs of dirty throttle body are poor engine performance, erratic idle, the engine react poorly to movements of the accelerator pedal, and the engine sputters or stalls.
One of the main causes of a faulty throttle is internal contamination. The throttle valve regulates the supply of air to the internal combustion engine. Over time, dirt and grime that escapes through the air filter can accumulate in the throttle body, this results in improper throttle valve movement, which causes problems with the control of the air supply.
7. Faulty throttle position sensor (TPS)
The throttle position sensor or TPS is used to determine the opening angle of the throttle valve. The information obtained is sent to the control unit and contributes to the calculation of the amount of fuel required. The symptoms of defective throttle position sensor in Murano are usually reduced engine performance, engine jerks, RPM fluctuations when idling and a slow drop in speed after the driver has released the accelerator.
If you see any error code from P0120 to P0124 on OBD2 scanner, it indicates a problem with the TPS sensor.
8. Fuel pump malfunction
The fuel pump in your Nissan Murano is like a beating heart that pumps fuel to the engine when the vehicle is running. A malfunctioning fuel pump can result in irregular or decreased acceleration, poor engine starting behavior, engine jerking or stalling while driving and a decrease in fuel efficiency.
Common causes of a defective fuel pump are leaks or contamination within the pump, this can illuminate the engine check light in your Murano. Diagnostic codes that a bad fuel pump can trigger are P0230, P0231, P0232 and P0087.
9. Bad spark plugs or ignition coils
If the spark plugs in your Murano are not generating sparks properly, the engine will no longer


text: I am having some issues with the derivation of the Planck Radiation Formula, as for instance given in _URL_ . My point is that the assumption of cavity modes implies the formation of standing waves inside the cavity walls. In most situations in nature (e.g. the sun) it is however absolutely inconceivable that here standing waves could develop, simply because there are no walls or other sharp boundaries. So with the fundamental theoretical assumption in the derivation not applicable at all, why is it that the Planck Radiation Formula still describes the solar spectrum to a good approximation?

BPM Voices: Using business rules to mine business rules test scenarios
In this column, Pierre Berlandier presents a flexible solution to the problem of creating and selecting of test scenarios, based on the different components of the WebSphere® ILOG® JRules Business Rules Management System (BRMS) platform. The solution leverages the Decision Warehouse to capture a detailed trace of the scenario executions, and the Business Action Language for mining the desired test scenarios.

One critical challenge in the development and maintenance of a rule-based decision service is to gather a collection of relevant test scenarios. Relevance is, of course, subjective and can be defined from different points of view: for the business, relevance can mean testing the behavior of a very specific aspect of the business policy that has not been exercised extensively yet. For IT, a set of test scenarios may be considered relevant if it offers enough coverage among all the possible decision paths.
Building test scenarios from scratch for a real-life decision with tens (and often hundreds) of data points can be a daunting task, both for the business, which has to work inductively on the rules to select the proper scenario values, and for the IT groups, which have to debug the test scenarios to ensure that they are complete, well-formed and eventually executable by the rule engine. The activity thus needs the combined knowledge of the business, the rules implementation, and the BRMS platform.
Meanwhile, the production database that supports a business application often contains a treasure trove of potential test data. It is usually possible to extract request data that is (or has been) submitted to the production system and transform it, so that it conforms to the request format that is expected by the rule-based decision service. However, to exploit this large number of potential test scenarios, we have to provide an easy way for the business to mine and select them, based not only on characteristics of the test data, but also on the execution details and the outcome of the scenario.
The goal of this article is to present a flexible solution to the problem of creation and selection of test scenarios, based on the different components of the ILOG JRules BRMS platform. It proposes, in particular, to leverage:
 - The Decision Warehouse to capture a detailed trace of the scenario executions.
 - The expressiveness and the business-friendly nature of the Business Action Language (BAL) as an efficient tool for mining the desired test scenarios.
Test scenario selection process
The information needed to perform test scenario selection is composed of the input and output data, as well as the detailed record of the steps that led to the output data using the given input. For example, one may want to gather the test scenarios where the primary applicant of a loan has a credit score that is less than 650 and for which the rule "Retired Applicant Discount" has been applied.
The information needed to design such criteria is typically captured by the execution trace recorded by the JRules Decision Warehouse component. The first step to prepare the mining of test scenarios from a production system database is therefore to run all candidate scenarios extracted from this production database through the business rule service and capture the execution traces in the Decision Warehouse, as shown in Figure 1.
Once the execution trace objects are available, they can be used as the input of a rule-based decision which rules are implementing the desired selection criteria.
As a result of the selection process, the business will expect test suites that are captured in the business friendly format supported by the Excel® spreadsheets for the Decision Validation Services (DVS) component. The last step is thus to transform the raw collection of scenarios into a well-organized and manageable DVS Excel test suite, using the DVS serialization API.
The three steps are illustrated on Figure 1:
 1. Capture of the execution trace by the Decision Warehouse.
 2. Selection of relevant scenarios by applying rules to the execution traces.
 3. Serialization of scenarios and output to a DVS Excel test suite.
The following sections describe in detail how to perform these three steps.
Figure 1. Test scenario selection process
Test scenario selection process
Note that we are assuming in the rest of this article that the eXecution Object Model (XOM) for the business domain ruleset is based on XML Schemas, which facilitates the serialization and deserialization of information captured by the Decision Warehouse traces.
Capturing the execution traces
The Decision Warehouse provides a flexible way to store execution traces through a custom DAO. In our case, we will rely on the default DAO, which will enable us to store and retrieve the execution trace as an instance of the JRules IlrDWTrace API class. Enabling the capture of traces by the Decision Warehouse is controlled through ruleset properties, which can be either defined when the ruleset is deployed or dynamically managed through the Rule Execution Server console:
 - The monitoring.enabled property shall be set to true, so that traces are captured.
 - The ruleset.bom.enabled property shall be set to false, so that the input and output parameters of the candidate scenarios are recorded as XML code, and not the BOM representation.
Selecting the scenarios
Our goal here is to prepare the environment for a rule project in which rules can be written against potential test data but also the properties of the execution of business rules against this test data.
To support our examples, we will use a simple Lending business rules application, composed of a rule project defining a BOM entry (loan-bom) with three classes: Borrower, LoanRequest and LoanResponse, and a separate rule project (loan-rules) which implements the Eligibility and Pricing rules, using the previous BOM. The loan-rules project has a LoanRequest input parameter and a LoanResponse output parameter.
BOM for trace objects
In order to be able to write rules on the different information provided by the execution trace, we need a BOM entry to model the trace object structure and verbalize its properties.
We thus need to define a rule project (we will call it scenario-selection-bom) that defines the BOM entry illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2. DW trace BOM entry
DW trace BOM entry
This entry can be created by pointing the Java Execution Object Model property of the project to the jrules-res-execution.jar file, which is part of the ILOG JRules platform distribution. The methods of the IlrDWTrace and its parent interface IlrExecutionTrace are particularly relevant to writing discriminating conditions as they allow access, among other properties, to:
 - The input and output parameters
 - The execution duration
 - The list of executed rules and tasks (execution events)
 - The rules not fired, and the tasks not executed
The list of execution events captured by the trace contains:
 - IlrTaskEvent elements, a recursive structure composed of the tree of events (rules events and task events) that have been fired.
 - IlrRuleEvent elements, a record of a rule instance that has been fired.
Figure 3. Execution events captured by the trace
Execution events captured by the trace
Selection rule project
Armed with the generic BOM for trace objects, as well as the specific BOM used by the business project, we can now define a rule project (we will call it scenario-selection-rules), which receives the execution trace to examine as an input parameter and returns as an output a Boolean string telling whether the scenario represented by the trace should be selected or not. The references between the different rule projects are shown in Figure 4..
Figure 4. Rule project relationships
Rule project relationships
Ruleset variables
The execution trace object coming from the Decision Warehouse will contain a serialized version of the input and output parameters in either the BOM form or as XML strings for projects using an XML XOM.
We need to bind this data to objects inside the engine so that we can manipulate them. For an XML XOM, this binding can be performed by using an XML data driver that translates an XML Schema to an execution object model (XOM).
We can thus declare a set of variables in the scenario-selection-rules project and initialize them using an implementation of an IlrXmlDataDriver interface (for example, IlrXmlDefaultDataDriver). Once an XML data driver instance is available, we can create the internal JRules objects from their XML serialized form using an IRL expression of the form, as shown here:
ObjectClass input =
 (ObjectClass)xmlDataDriver.readObject(new StringReader(inputString));
In our Lending example, we would define two ruleset variables, loanRequest and loanResponse, which could then be initialized using a Technical Rule on the following model:
when {
then {
 String loanRequestString =
 loanRequest =
 (LoanRequest)driver.readObject(new StringReader(loanRequestString));
 String loanResponseString =
 loanResponse =
 (LoanResponse)driver.readObject(new StringReader(loanResponseString));
Rule Flow
The rule flow for the scenario selection project is straightforward: the first task is dedicated to the initialization of the ruleset variables (see previous section), and the next task is the collection of scenario selection rules (see next section), as shown in Figure 5.

From the late nineteenth century through the beginning of World War II, the best jobs available to African Americans in Portland, Oregon were on the dining cars that came through Union Station and at the hotels around it. Because white-owned businesses were largely closed to people of color, a community of black-owned businesses and social organizations grew in the area surrounding the station. A new exhibit at the Oregon Historical Society explores work and lives of Portland's African American railroad workers and their families just in time for the 2013 Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and National Black History Month.
"All Aboard: Railroading and Portland's Black Community," an exhibit created by Oregon Northwest Black Pioneers and the Oregon Historical, and funded in part by a grant from Oregon Humanities, focuses on the African American railroad workers in Portland in the 1800's through the 1940's and the community that grew around Portland's Union Station over the years. The interactive exhibit, which was assembled with the help of an advisory committee of former railroad workers, children of railroad workers, and local historians, features period uniforms and articles from historical black newspapers, and places the stories of Portland's railroad workers within the context of Oregon's racial history.
The exhibit opened on Tuesday, January 15th, at the Oregon Historical Society Museum, 1200 SW Park Avenue, Portland, OR, and runs through April 21st.
The museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free for OHS members and residents of Multnomah County, and $5–$11 for nonmembers and nonresidents. On Monday, January 21st, admission is free in honor of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. For a calendar of related events, visit the OHS website.

. As a plane wave reflects off some reflector, the reflector directs the wave fronts formed by the Huygens' wavelets just as a light reflector directs light "rays." The same law of reflection is followed for both sound and light, so that focusing a sound wave is equivalent to focusing a light ray.
Reflectors of appropriate shape are used for a variety of purposes or effects. For example, a parabolic reflector will focus a parallel wave of sound onto a specific point, allowing a very weak sound to be more easily heard. Such reflectors are used in parabolic microphones to collect sound from a distant source or to choose a location from which sound is to be observed and then focus it onto a microphone. An elliptical shape, on the other hand, can be used to focus sound from one point onto another—an arrangement called a whispering chamber. Domes in cathedrals and capitols closely approximate the shape of an ellipse, so that such buildings often possess focal points and function as a type of whispering chamber. Concert halls must avoid the smooth, curved shape of ellipses and parabolas, because strong echoes or focusing of sound from one point to another are undesirable in an auditorium.

SAI Competency Framework
The Society of Actuaries in Ireland has developed a competency framework comprising the knowledge, skills and attributes that actuaries typically draw on in their work.
This framework is aligned to our vision, mission and goals. For each competency definition within the framework there is an indication of appropriate capabilities and behaviours across three competency levels.
The framework is intended to be suitable for use by all members of the Society of Actuaries in Ireland from student through to experienced professionals and regulated roles, and in traditional industry sectors, adjacent sectors and wider fields. However, it is not a mandatory tool and does not enforce any additional compliance requirements on any member.
The purpose of the competency framework is to:
- Support members in the identification of their learning and development needs, in relation to both their current role and any future roles to which they aspire. By reviewing the detailed competencies within the framework and considering (together with a line manager, for example) what competencies might typically be expected for a given role, members can identify gaps in their own current competency profile.
- Facilitate members in identifying which parts of the Society's Continuing Professional Development programme are relevant to the development and enhancement of specific competencies.
- Promote the profession to external stakeholders. In support of this, the competency wheel has a prominent role on the website and in marketing material used to promote the profession.

Keywords: Amputation, COVID-19 pandemic, diabetes, diabetic foot, diabetic ulcer.
Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the indirect impact of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on diabetes-related lower extremity amputations.
Patients and methods: Patients who underwent lower limb amputation due to complications of diabetes between August 2019 and February 2020 (control group) and August 2020 and February 2021 (pandemic group) were retrospectively reviewed. None of the patients had a previous COVID-19 infection. Patients' amputation level and latest diabetes follow-up date until amputation were recorded.
Results: A total of 19 feet of 19 patients (14 males, 5 females; mean age: 70.0±10.5 years; range, 53 to 91 years) in the control group and 18 feet of 18 patients (12 males, 6 females; mean age: 70.4±11.3 years; range, 54 to 91 years) were included. There was no statistically significant difference in amputation levels between the two groups (p=0.959). The mean time elapsed from the last diabetes control in the control and the pandemic group was 5.9±12.8 months and 8.2±9.8 months, respectively (p=0.038). A total of eight (42.1%) patients in the control group and seven (38.9%) patients in the pandemic group did not have a follow-up for diabetes in the last year prior to amputation (p=0.842).
Conclusion: Although the COVID-19 pandemic seems to cause a delay in the routine medical care of patients with diabetes, it appears not to have an indirect effect on the lower extremity amputation level and incidence. Patients' adherence may be the major determinant in amputation surgery.
Introduction
The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndromeCoronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first began in China and led to a global novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020.[1] As the spread of the pandemic has continued, more than a million deaths were reported due to COVID-19 infection worldwide.[2] Due to the rapid spread of the virus, healthcare systems were exposed to a large number of COVID-19 infection patients which created a potential collapse risk of healthcare systems.[3] Healthcare authorities and governments around the world have made several attempts to overcome the rapid spread of the virus such as lockdowns, school closures, cessation of international transportation.[3]
A curfew was announced in Turkey on March 21st, 2020, for the citizens over the age of 65 years and who had chronic diseases and individuals aged below 20 years. In addition, many businesses were shut down or encouraged to work remotely.[4] These self-isolation regulations changed the routine daily activities of individuals. The reflection of the self-isolation principles that kept individuals at home was observed in daily life such as decreased traffic density, trauma prevalence, and reduced associated hospital admissions.[5,6]
As the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic ended, many indirect effects of the pandemic have developed on patients' health due to the obstacles caused by self-isolation principles and lockdowns. Most of the patients with chronic illnesses did not have a regular follow-up during the pandemic due to individuals' fear of getting the virus or self-isolation regulations.[7] Since patients with diabetes require regular follow-ups, the COVID-19 pandemic turned out to be a barrier in diabetic patients' glycemic control indirectly in addition to its direct effects on glycemic control such as disturbing B-cell dysfunction.[8,9] Moreover, COVID-19 has been shown to cause vascular problems including coagulopathy and vasculopathy,[10] which is an important direct effect of the virus for diabetic patients. The disruption of achieving routine diabetes control have been reported to increase diabetes-related complications including diabetic foot and lower extremity amputations.[11]
There are few studies investigating the combined effect, both indirect and direct, of the COVID-19 pandemic on amputation incidence and levels;[12,13] however, the literature is lacking for a study examining the indirect impact of the pandemic individually on diabetes-related amputations. In the present study, we hypothesized that the delay in the time of admission to the medical centers due to COVID-19 pandemic might cause an increase in the amputation level and frequency due to the uncontrolled period of the blood glucose. We, therefore, aimed to evaluate the indirect impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on diabetes-related lower extremity amputation incidence and levels in a single institution in a patient population without a history of COVID-19 infection during the pandemic.
Patients and Methods
This single-center, retrospective study was conducted at Karabük University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology. We reviewed patients who underwent lower limb amputation due to complications of diabetes between August 2019 and February 2020 (control group) and August 2020 and February 2021 (pandemic group). None of the patients had a previous COVID-19 infection. Patients who had a COVID-19 infection history, traumatic amputations, secondary amputations due to previous failed amputation, and without a diagnosis of diabetes were excluded. A written informed consent was obtained from each patient. The study protocol was approved by the Karabük University Faculty of Medicine Ethics Committee (1.10.2021/No: 626). The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.
Patients' age, sex, amputation level, latest diabetes follow-up date, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels prior to amputation were obtained from the hospital registry records. Time elapsed from the latest diabetes follow-up until amputation was calculated for each patient. The presence of any diabetes follow-up in the last year before the amputation was noted. Amputation levels were classified as follows: at or below ankle, below the knee, at or above knee. Postoperative wound complications were recorded.
Statistical analysis
Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS version 23.0 software (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Descriptive data were expressed in mean ± standard deviation (SD) for continuous, while categorical variables were expressed in number and frequency. Distribution of variables was measured with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The Student t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis. Categorical variables were compared using the Pearson chi-square test. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
A total of 19 feet of 19 patients (14 males, 5 females; mean age: 70.0±10.5 years; range, 53 to 91 years) in the control group and 18 feet of 18 patients (12 males, 6 females; mean age: 70.4±11.3 years; range, 54 to 91 years) in the pandemic group met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean age and sex distribution between the control and pandemic group (Table I).
Of the 19 feet in the control group, four feet had an amputation at or distal to ankle joint, 10 feet had below knee amputation, and five feet had an amputation at or proximal to knee joint. Of the 18 feet who underwent amputation in the pandemic group, there were four amputations at or distal to ankle joint, 10 below knee amputations, and four amputations at or above the knee joint. There was no statistically significant difference in amputation levels between the two groups (p=0.959) (Figure 1).
A total of eight (42.1%) patients in the control group and seven (38.9%) patients in the pandemic group did not have a follow-up for diabetes in the last year prior to amputation (p=0.842). The mean time elapsed from the last diabetes control to amputation in the control and the pandemic group was 5.9±12.8 months and 8.2±9.8 months, respectively (p=0.038).
There was no statistically significant difference in the mean HbA1c levels before the amputation and mean length of stay at hospital in the control and the pandemic groups (Table I). In the control group, five (26.3%) patients had postoperative wound complications, while four (22.2%) patients had in the pandemic group (p=0.772).
Discussion
The COVID-19 outbreak has caused several health issues due to the suspension of routine healthcare practice. Most of the patients with chronic conditions such as cardiac diseases and diabetes mellitus were unable to have a regular follow-up visit due

Running your iPad with a wireless connection can work well for most. But if you are running a continuous application like Robin, in a space where frequent wifi drop offs are common you may want to consider hardwiring your iPads to run off an ethernet connection.
What do I need to connect my iPad to a wired ethernet?
The iPad doesn't offer an ethernet port so you will need a few adapters. We've tested and confirmed the following set up, but other adapter configurations may work, too.
Once you have the correct adapters setting up ethernet is simple.

The Making of the first: Highlights of the Golden Haggadah on vellum
General characteristics:
1. To produce an original manuscript, a Haggadah, based on the artwork of the famous Golden Haggadahpublished in Guadalajara, Spain, circa 1320.
To accomplish this, we will use the same materials and techniques used in Medieval times: real vellum/parchment, calligraphy, illumination, miniaturizing, raisedand flat-gold gilding, as well as artistic bookbinding.
2. The Haggadah will be accompanied by a How-to Book Guide that will explain the following:
a. The meaning of the book: Cultural/traditional aspects of the Haggadah
b. The art of the book: explaining the use of different materials and artistic techniques such as vellum, gilding, natural pigments and others.
Specific characteristics:
Our team of multidisciplinary artists will work on several specific areas of the publication, according to their skills:
1. Calligraphy (Hebrew, English and Spanish)
2. Flat and raised gold-gilding
3. Pigment making
4. Drawing and painting
5. Bookbinding
6. Vellum making (lambskin)
The Golden Haggadah will measure 8.5" x 5.5"
Date of release: Passover 2012
Enjoy the singular beauty of these extraordinary books which, by preserving the ancient tradition of Illuminated Manuscript making, also highlight the artistic and cultural values of its content.

Trait kvarn::prelude::utils::prelude::compact_str::core::ops::Drop
1.0.0 · source ·
pub trait Drop {
 // Required method
 fn drop(&mut self);
}
Expand description
Custom code within the destructor.
When a value is no longer needed, Rust will run a "destructor" on that value. The most common way that a value is no longer needed is when it goes out of scope. Destructors may still run in other circumstances, but we're going to focus on scope for the examples here. To learn about some of those other cases, please see the reference section on destructors.
This destructor consists of two components:
 - A call to Drop::drop for that value, if this special Drop trait is implemented for its type.
 - The automatically generated "drop glue" which recursively calls the destructors of all the fields of this value.
As Rust automatically calls the destructors of all contained fields, you don't have to implement Drop in most cases. But there are some cases where it is useful, for example for types which directly manage a resource. That resource may be memory, it may be a file descriptor, it may be a network socket. Once a value of that type is no longer going to be used, it should "clean up" its resource by freeing the memory or closing the file or socket. This is the job of a destructor, and therefore the job of Drop::drop.
§Examples
To see destructors in action, let's take a look at the following program:
struct HasDrop;
impl Drop for HasDrop {
 fn drop(&mut self) {
 println!("Dropping HasDrop!");
 }
}
struct HasTwoDrops {
 one: HasDrop,
 two: HasDrop,
}
impl Drop for HasTwoDrops {
 fn drop(&mut self) {
 println!("Dropping HasTwoDrops!");
 }
}
fn main() {
 let _x = HasTwoDrops { one: HasDrop, two: HasDrop };
 println!("Running!");
}
Rust will first call Drop::drop for _x and then for both _x.one and _x.two, meaning that running this will print
Running!
Dropping HasTwoDrops!
Dropping HasDrop!
Dropping HasDrop!
Even if we remove the implementation of Drop for HasTwoDrop, the destructors of its fields are still called. This would result in
Running!
Dropping HasDrop!
Dropping HasDrop!
§You cannot call Drop::drop yourself
Because Drop::drop is used to clean up a value, it may be dangerous to use this value after the method has been called. As Drop::drop does not take ownership of its input, Rust prevents misuse by not allowing you to call Drop::drop directly.
In other words, if you tried to explicitly call Drop::drop in the above example, you'd get a compiler error.
If you'd like to explicitly call the destructor of a value, mem::drop can be used instead.
§Drop order
Which of our two HasDrop drops first, though? For structs, it's the same order that they're declared: first one, then two. If you'd like to try this yourself, you can modify HasDrop above to contain some data, like an integer, and then use it in the println! inside of Drop. This behavior is guaranteed by the language.
Unlike for structs, local variables are dropped in reverse order:
struct Foo;
impl Drop for Foo {
 fn drop(&mut self) {
 println!("Dropping Foo!")
 }
}
struct Bar;
impl Drop for Bar {
 fn drop(&mut self) {
 println!("Dropping Bar!")
 }
}
fn main() {
 let _foo = Foo;
 let _bar = Bar;
}
This will print
Dropping Bar!
Dropping Foo!
Please see the reference for the full rules.
§Copy and Drop are exclusive
You cannot implement both Copy and Drop on the same type. Types that are Copy get implicitly duplicated by the compiler, making it very hard to predict when, and how often destructors will be executed. As such, these types cannot have destructors.
§Drop check
Dropping interacts with the borrow checker in subtle ways: when a type T is being implicitly dropped as some variable of this type goes out of scope, the borrow checker needs to ensure that calling T's destructor at this moment is safe. In particular, it also needs to be safe to recursively drop all the fields of T. For example, it is crucial that code like the following is being rejected:
use std::cell::Cell;
struct S<'a>(Cell<Option<&'a S<'a>>>, Box<i32>);
impl Drop for S<'_> {
 fn drop(&mut self) {
 if let Some(r) = self.0.get() {
 // Print the contents of the 'Box' in 'r'.
 println!("{}", r.1);
 }
 }
}
fn main() {
 // Set up two 'S' that point to each other.
 let s1 = S(Cell::new(None), Box::new(42));
 let s2 = S(Cell::new(Some(&s1)), Box::new(42));
 s1.0.set(Some(&s2));
 // Now they both get dropped. But whichever is the 2nd one
 // to be dropped will access the 'Box' in the first one,
 // which is a use-after-free!
}
The Nomicon discusses the need for drop check in more detail.
To reject such code, the "drop check" analysis determines which types and lifetimes need to still be live when T gets dropped. The exact details of this analysis are not yet stably guaranteed and subject to change. Currently, the analysis works as follows:
 - If T has no drop glue, then trivially nothing is required to be live. This is the case if neither T nor any of its (recursive) fields have a destructor (impl Drop). PhantomData and ManuallyDrop are considered to never have a destructor, no matter their field type.
 - If T has drop glue, then, for all types U that are owned by any field of T, recursively add the types and lifetimes that need to be live when U gets dropped. The set of owned types is determined by recursively traversing T:
 - Recursively descend through PhantomData, Box, tuples, and arrays (including arrays of length 0).
 - Stop at reference and raw pointer types as well as function pointers and function items; they do not own anything.
 - Stop at non-composite types (type parameters that remain generic in the current context and base types such as integers and bool); these types are owned.
 - When hitting an ADT with impl Drop, stop there; this type is owned.
 - When hitting an ADT without impl Drop, recursively descend to its fields. (For an enum, consider all fields of all variants.)
 - Furthermore, if T implements Drop, then all generic (lifetime and type) parameters of T must be live.
In the above example, the last clause implies that 'a must be live when S<'a> is dropped, and hence the example is rejected. If we remove the impl Drop, the liveness requirement disappears and the example is accepted.
There exists an unstable way for a type to opt-out of the last clause; this is called "drop check eyepatch" or may_dangle. For more details on this nightly-only feature, see the discussion in the Nomicon.
Required Methods§
1.0.0 · source
fn drop(&mut self)
Executes the destructor for this type.
This method is called implicitly when the value goes out of scope, and cannot be called explicitly (this is compiler error E0040). However, the mem::drop function in the prelude can be used to call the argument's Drop implementation.
When this method has been called, self has not yet been deallocated. That only happens after the method is over. If this wasn't the case, self would be a dangling reference.
§Panics
Implementations should generally avoid panic!ing, because drop() may itself be called during unwinding due to a panic, and if the drop() panics in that situation (a "double panic"), this will likely abort the program. It is possible to check panicking() first, which may be desirable for a Drop implementation that is reporting a bug of the kind "you didn't finish using this before it was dropped"; but most types should simply clean up their owned allocations or other resources and return normally from drop(), regardless of what state they are in.
Note that even if this panics, the value is considered to be dropped; you must not cause drop to be called again. This is normally automatically handled

Encyclopedia - The Rainbow Division
The 'Rainbow Division' was the nickname given to the U.S. 42nd Division. It was so-named because it was comprised - deliberately - from National Guard Units from 26 states and the District of Columbia. Colonel Douglas MacArthur, the new division's Chief of Staff (and ultimately its commander), remarked that "the 42nd Division stretches like a Rainbow from one end of America to the other".
In addition to the National Guard Units the 42nd Division (created in August 1917) also included four infantry regiments from New York, Ohio, Alabama and Iowa along with men from many other U.S. states.
One of the first American divisions to reach the battlefields of the Western Front in November 1917, the Rainbow Division first saw action fighting alongside the French in February 1918. The division played a notable role in six major campaigns, including the Battle of Champagne in July 1918, in addition to fighting at Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel, Verdun and the Argonne.
With the armistice the Rainbow Division was assigned German occupation duties. Its service officially came to an end in May 1919. The division was re-activated with America's participation in the Second World War.
A "red cap" was a British military policeman.

We developed a simple method to perfuse oil–water in electrowetting displays. The theoretical model to simulate the progress of water entry into the interlayer while squeezing the oil was established. It shows that the minimum inlet pressure of water required to enter the interlayer must counteract the capillary pressure difference at the interface and the hydraulic resistance. In addition, the condition to remain the dyed oil in the pixels after the entry of water is affected by the pixel size and the height of interlayer. The perfusion experiment coincides with the simulation which confirms the theoretical conclusion that the pixel size and interlayer thickness influence the thickness of the remained oil films.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Alcohol Addiction or Alcoholism is a generally spread sickness which influences ordinary existence of a person. Alcoholism can be considered because of numerous components including hereditary qualities, sex, social environment, and psychological well-being of a man.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment in Chennai
Alcoholic is a man who experiences alcoholism while alcoholism is the disease. Alcoholics are continual with alcohol and don't know the amount to drink and can't control over day by day reiteration of devouring alcohol in huge amount, regardless of the possibility that it is bringing on significant issues to his body, work and family.
Manifestations of Alcoholism
It is extremely hard to comprehend the contrast between social drinking and issue drinking (Alcohol Addiction). Alcohol is a broadly utilized and accessible drug which is acknowledged in numerous societies. Alcohol is devoured so regularly by various age bunch individuals and in social capacities also. Additionally alcoholics used to conceal their drinking propensities from their family and friends and family.
Taking after sign or side effects could be of Alcohol Addiction
Alone Drinking
Doesn't know the amount to drink
When to Drink? ( Starts from morning or any odd time)
Professional or individual issues because of alcohol utilization
Financial Crisis because of alcohol utilization.
Hiding their drinking
propensities from their friends and family
Losing his enthusiasm for side interests and exercises which he/she used to appreciate.
Requiring an expansive amount of alcohol to feel better.

Tarpitting is the practice of deliberately inserting a delay into certain SMTP communications that are associated with spam or with other unwanted traffic. To be effective, these kinds of communications typically rely on generating a high volume of traffic. By slowing an SMTP conversation, you can dramatically reduce the rate at which automated spam can be sent or at which a dictionary attack can be conducted. Legitimate traffic may also be slowed by tar pitting.
The tar pit feature is available in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and in several third-party SMTP servers. The tar pit feature in Windows Server 2003 works by slowing all responses that contain SMTP protocol 5.x.x error codes. An administrator can configure the delay that is introduced by the tar pit feature.
Tar pitting affects only anonymous SMTP connections. Authenticated sessions are exempt. Therefore, if you regularly exchange lots of SMTP mail with another organization,
and you find that tar pitting is affecting that traffic, you can bypass tar pitting for that organization by authenticating SMTP communications.

Queen Tarzi's legacy
We have all seen them: black and white pictures of 'liberated' Afghan women in miniskirts walking through the streets of Kabul. They challenge stereotypical depictions of women's oppression, and elicit a warm and nostalgic mirage of the old, 'free' Afghanistan. The western media might be familiar with these pictures, but for feminists in Afghanistan, one woman championed the battle for gender equality. Queen Soraya Tarzi is regarded by many Afghan women as the quintessential embodiment of Afghanistan's progressive golden age. She features upon the most important pages in Afghan history as the most prominent symbol of feminism, inspiring thousands of girls sixty years after her death.
Soraya Tarzi was born on November 24 of 1899 in Damascus, Syria. She was the daughter of the exiled Afghan intellectual Sardar Mahmud Tarzi. Habibullah Khan, the King of Afghanistan, issued a general pardon, and many exiled families returned to Kabul. The Tarzi family was one of them. Soraya Tarzi met Habibullah Khan's son Amanullah Khan and married him in 1913. Habibullah succeeded his father as King of Afghanistan in 1926. Soraya had studied in Syria and had received an honorary degree from Oxford University. She had liberal values; gender equality was a priority within her reform agenda, and so she accompanied the king in official visits and cabinet meetings, even travelling to conflict zones with him. During her official visits to Europe, she stunned many politicians with her intelligence and skills in marksmanship.
Queen Soraya shone like a star. In an era in which the Mullahs had banned photography – claiming that if a person took a picture for their passport, then a death would follow – Soraya was often photographed in black and white, wearing western cocktail gowns, luxurious fur coats and oversized, flattering hats. Her fashion taste was characterised by an eclectic mixture of western and traditional styles which even inspires women three generations later. One is Manizha Nabizada, founder of the lashes empire QueenTarzi®, a brand used by many beauty bloggers, vloggers and make-up artists. 'Queen Tarzi lashes represent royal, powerful and compassionate women with a mission. Just like Soraya,' she explains.
'Queen with a mission' describes Soraya well. Her life wasn't limited to the glamour and glitter of the Royal Palace. Progressive for her time, she spearheaded a turbulent feminist revolution. Described as a warrior princess, Soraya's courage was featured in the illustrated cartoon book Rejected Princesses by Jason Porath. Alongside her role as Queen of Afghanistan, she was also Minister of Education in a period when women couldn't vote in most parts of Europe. She worked to obtain women's rights to vote, run for office and to participate in nation building. Due to her efforts, women were granted voting rights when Afghanistan implemented universal suffrage. Queen Soraya also founded the first women's hospital and girl's school, and arranged for women to access higher education abroad.
Not everyone appreciated the reforms she introduced. The religious right had serious concerns about the rapidity of Westernisation, and the catalysing role of the Queen in this process. Their main concerns were co-education and suffrage. When the Queen whipped off her veil, and many socialites followed her example, the opposition grew. Her bold attempts towards social reforms were considered radical and anti-Islamic by many religious clerics. She was accused of blasphemy. The kingdom was toppled by a coup. Short thereafter Soraya and her husband left the country for Italy.
Feminism in Afghanistan stalled until the early '60s when a wave of feminists revisited her 1920s values. 'No doubt Queen Soraya had a huge impact on the education and emancipation of Afghan women. We continued her legacy years after her exile,' says Amilia Spartak, a prominent and outspoken pioneering feminist. who has spent more than 40 years in this field. 'The foundations of the second generation of feminism in Afghanistan were built in 1965 by Dr. Anahita Ratebzad. Anahita was Afghanistan's first medical doctor, first female MP and Ambassador, and later on she made history by becoming the first female Prime Minister of Afghanistan. She was the founder of the Democratic Association of Women of Afghanistan, and also a Tarzi by descent. Our generation fought against forced hijab and gendered inequalities, yet the golden era of our triumph is often ignored due to political marginalisation.'
Even though the progress of women's rights was halted during the civil war of the 1990s once again, Soraya's struggle was continued by the following generations. Other women were inspired by Soraya. Tahmina Arian is one. She wrote a book called 'Veil is not my Culture' and faced the same accusations that our queen did in the early 1920s. Despite the threats upon her life, Tahmina is determined to continue her fight against forced hijab. She told me: 'As a child, I attended many family parties where I discovered that women in Afghanistan live in a very restricted world. Gatherings, and conversations between Afghan women always raised strange questions in me. I had read about the tradition of slavery. Sometimes I imagine this is the actual life of Afghan women. Forced hijab is important part of this.'
A hard journey is ahead, but a new generation of Sorayas have blossomed. They represent our hope to protect her legacy – and lead Afghanistan to a more prosperous future.

Understanding the FQDN ACL Feature
Starting in ASA version 8.4(2) (Feature not available in 8.5(1) code) , ACL entries can contain a new type of object that represents a fully qualified domain-name. This allows administrators to create ACL entries that contain a new object type fqdn that represents a hostname. For this functionality to work, the ASA must be able to resolve these FQDN's to one or more IP addresses. The object then becomes a representation of those IP addess(es).

Basic Configuration
Step 1: Define DNS server
Since the ASA has to be able to resolve each hostname to one or more IP addesses, we must define what DNS server the ASA can use.

domain-name cisco.com
!
dns domain-lookup inside
dns server-group DefaultDNS
 name-server 192.168.1.200
 domain-name cisco.com

Step 2: Create the FQDN object for the host name in question
Similar to creating other object in the 8.3.x code and later, we need to define the fqdn under the object

object network obj-hr88.cisco.com
 fqdn hr88.cisco.com

Step 3: Add the FQDN Oject to an ACL
Reference the newly created Object in an ACL on the ASA so we can begin to resolve it

access-list inside_in deny ip any object obj-hr88.cisco.com
access-list inside_in permit ip any any
Verify the ACL with FQDNs
Once the access-list is applied to the security policy of the ASA, the ASA will resolve the DNS entries to IP addresses, then use those IP addresses in the access-list.

ASA# show access-list inside_in
access-list inside_in; 4 elements; name hash: 0xd3a8690b
access-list inside_in line 1 deny ip any object obj-hr88.cisco.com
 access-list inside_in line 1 deny ip any fqdn hr88.cisco.com (resolved)
 access-list inside_in line 1 deny ip any host 10.32.2.4 (hr88.cisco.com) (hitcnt=10)
 access-list inside_in line 1 deny ip any host 10.32.2.3 (hr88.cisco.com) (hitcnt=35)
access-list inside_in line 2 permit ip any any (hitcnt=12022)
The 'show dns' command will display the IP to hostname mappings currently active on the ASA

ASA# show dns
Name: hr88.cisco.com
 Address: 10.32.2.4 TTL 13:27:02
 Address: 10.32.2.3 TTL 13:27:02
Best Practices
Use a trusted DNS server
Obviously it is important that the DNS server used by the ASA for FQDN resolution is trusted, since the responses from this DNS server will affect the security policy of the ASA. You also want to ensure that your DNS server is stable and has a very low latency since your security policy will rely on the results it recieves.

Increase the lifetime for short-lived DNS records
When the ASA receives the response from the DNS server for the ACE hostname resolution, the answer has a Time to Live (TTL) associated with it. The ASA will keep that domain-to-ip mapping active until the TTL expires, at which time the ASA will re-resolve the IP address of the hostname.

The output of 'show dns host hostname' will show the TTL of the DNS entry on the ASA:

ASA-dns-acl.png

In some cases, DNS responses might be extremely short, on the order of a few seconds. Usually, low lifetimes like this are employed by DNS load-balancers and content hosting services where IP addresses change frequently. If many DNS entries are used on the ASA, short TTLs might cause the ASA to re-resolve the IP addresses very frequently, therby causing extra load on the ASA, DNS server, and the network.

The ASA can be manually configured to increase the TTL of each response it receives by a set time value, using the command
'dns expire-entry-timer minutes minutes'. For example, to increase the timeout by 60 minutes you would use the following command:

 dns expire-entry-timer minutes 60
Limitations of the Feature
It should be emphasized that this new FQDN ACL feature on the ASA is not a replacement for URL filtering solutions. Administrators attempting to write basic ACL policies that permit or deny traffic to FQDN names outside of their organization might have intermittent success, due to the factors discussed below. The preferred methods for blocking access to certain websites is the use of an external URL filtering server, or by using the application inspection on the ASA to control the access.

Sites returning DNS responses with low TTL cause unpredictable access
Some popular websites such as _URL_ send back DNS responses with very low Time To Live (TTL) values. The screenshot below is from a packet capture. It shows that the DNS server responded back to the request and indicated that the TTL of the entry was only 20 seconds.
This means that a computer would continue to use the IP 69.171.224.14 for _URL_ for 20 seconds, and after 20 seconds it would re-resolve the DNS entry and use the new IP address the DNS server responded with :

smallDNSTTLfacebook.png

The ASA will behave slightly differently with the TTL indicated in the DNS response. By default (and at a minimum) the ASA always adds one minute to the TTL (due to the default command 'dns expire-entry-timer 1') of the response received to the DNS request, meaning that in this case the ASA would consider the entry valid for one minute and twenty seconds.

ASA# show dns
Name: _URL_
 Address: 69.171.224.41 TTL 00:01:20
ASA#
The side effect of this is that the inside client will start using a new IP address for _URL_ one minute before the ASA updates its own IP to hostname mapping, and during that time the access-list line might not match. This would result in the clients being permitted or denied intermittently when they access _URL_.

Multiple hostnames resolve to the same IP address
If two hostnames resolve to the same IP address, the ASA cannot distinguish between the two, since it is essentially blocking or permitting the traffic based on the destination IP address in the packet. Many popular webpages have moved away from hosting thier own content to using content delivery networks like Akamai, Amazon CWS. This means that come FQDN's may resolve to IP addresses used by these content hosting providers and they may host multiple sites worth of content on the same IP. This is also seen with Webhosting companies like GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc. These providers may use one signle IP to host hundred of websites. The content served to you web-browser is determined based on the URL accessed (and the Host: field in the HTTP request). Let take a simple example of 'URL FIltering' and see how it can go awry. Here is the simplified config:

object network obj-superbadwebsite.com
 fqdn superbadwebsite.com
!
access-list inside_in deny ip any object obj-superbadwebsite.com
access-list inside_in permit ip any any
Now lets say that superbadwebsite.com is hosted by HostingCo which also hosts benign websites like catsinsinks.com (benign all-beit a time waster). HostingCo uses webservers at 64.102.67.9 an 64.102.67.10 so now our ACL looks like:
access-list inside_in line 1 deny ip any object obj-superbadwebsite.com
 access-list inside_in line 1 deny ip any fqdn superbadwebsite.com (resolved)
 access-list inside_in line 1 deny ip any host 64.102.67.10 (superbadwebsite.com)(hitcnt=5)
 access-list inside_in line 1 deny ip any host 64.102.67.9 (superbadwebsite.com)(hitcnt=120)
access-list inside_in line 2 permit ip any any (hitcnt=4423)

If someone in your network wants to browse the site _URL_ they will not be able to. This is because catsinsinks.com will resolve to either of the IP's that HostingCo uses, both of which are blocked because they were the A-Records returned when we resolved superbadwebsite.com. This issue can be summed up in the follow way:

FQDN functionality in ACLs is not a replacement for HTTP Filtering. It cannot distinguish what content is being sent.

Multiple DNS names for the same website
Another reason to stay away


Assignment 6 (Dead Code Elimination)
This assignment is due Monday April 18th at 11:59pm.
For this assignment you are expected to identify and eliminate dead code. Dead code is any instruction that does not affect the output of the program (a function, in particular). For DCE (dead code elimination), you will need to use def-use chains to reason about instructions that do not affect the outputs. Remember that the output of a function is not limited to what it is returning.
Those who implemented assignment 4 in LLVM, and have relied on the SSA property to find def-use chains with a linear scan of the LLVM-IR, are expected to implement a further requirement for this assignment, whether they are choosing URCC or LLVM for this assignment. That is Common Subexpression Elimination (CSE). An example of this optimization has been illustrated below.
Adopted from [1]
For CSE, you must first do the AVAIL analysis and then reason about expressions that are redundant.
Note 1: Since LLVM does not permit copy instructions, you may need to use the "ReplaceAllUsesWith" method to replace all uses of c with t. Also, since LLVM uses the SSA representation, you might need to insert new phi nodes.
Note 2: You do not need to implement partial redundancy elimination (PRE) for this assignment.
Your are expected to test your optimization pass by counting the number executed instructions. To do so, you are provided with a test script. Download this script into your URCC repository.
If you are using URCC for this assignment, you can easily run "./test.rb all" to run all the tests. You can also run an individual test by running "./test.rb #{program_name}".
If you are using LLVM for this assignment, you will need to reimplement Test.test method in the script above by following the current implementation of that method. This is where you need to compile a program and apply your optimization, and instrumentation. You are allowed to use your peers' test scripts.
The "./test.rb all" command will give you a "urcc_test_results.txt" file that includes the program outputs (along with your dynamic instruction count. Remember to print the instruction count as a single line "INST COUNT: x", where x is the number of total executed instructions). Include this file in your report, along with your test script (if modified) and instructions on how to run the tests. Do not forget to give a thorough explanation about your implementation.
Note: URCC appears to be failing on generating a correct executable for two of the test cases: sort.c and tax.c. You can exclude these test cases by removing them from the test directory.

A trainera is a traditional boat of the Cantabrian sea coast at the southern end of the Bay of Biscay, propelled by oars, and formerly sailing. It is a boat of fine lines with raised prow and rounded stern, to resist the waves of the Cantabrian sea. Traineras were originally used by fishermen to bring in the day's catch of anchovies and sardines from sea to market, usually competing to sell their caught fish before others came in. Today, this historical tradition has become a major sport of coastal boat racing.
Other languages and etymology
The name trainera (Spanish), traineru (also treineru, treñero or triñero in Basque), traînière (French) and traiñeira or traíña (Galician) is derived from the word traína, a closely woven net used in the fishing of sardines and anchovies, itself derived from Latin tragināre, from trahĕre "to pull, drag".
The historic trainera regattas, estropadak in Basque, are a popular sport held all along the Bay of Biscay, all the way through the coast of Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia between July and October. Numerous competitions are held each year such as the oldest regatta Bandera de Santander or the most famous Kontxako Bandera, and there are various trainera leagues such as the premier league Liga San Miguel or the second divisions Liga Asociación de Remo del Cantábrico and Liga Galega de Traiñeiras.
Boats and rules
Today the boats are manned by a crew of 13 oarsmen sitting in pairs (except for the thirteenth, who sits alone in the bows) and a cox standing up facing them in the stern. The bowman or bow-woman also has a 15th oar which is used for helping with the steering in tight turns. As is common in other such events, the cox is responsible for steering the boat and keeping up the morale of the team. Each boat flies a particular flag and wears a team strip and often the boat is painted in the team's colours as well.
Traditional materials were entirely cedar and beech wood, with the construction process taking at least a month or month and a half. The boats themselves are 12m long, 1.72m wide (at midship), 95 cm. bow, 75 cm stern and 60.5 cm in depth. The total weight of the boat including baton, bench, and hitters have to be 210–230 kg but may not weigh less than 200 kg (excluding oars and equipment). Nowadays, traineras are made of carbon fiber and kevlar with techniques similar to those in aeronautical construction (such as for Airbus wings. Boats are fitted amongst other things with GPS systems, creating better boats but also pushing up prices. The lifespan of a boat at a top club is usually two or three years. In the 1970s a trainera cost around 45,000 pesetas; 2008 prices start at around €25,000.
A race normally covers a distance of 5.5 km with either a single trip to a buoy and back or two return trips. Each boat has its own lane and may not cross into another boat's lane and the oars (and boats) of different boats may not touch. A race is normally restarted if something irregular happens within the first 20 seconds of a race. Apart from the prize money for each race, the winning team is awarded a bandera (flag) of the town or autonomous community. The winning team traditionally holds all oars vertically into the air, the so-called remos arriba or arraunak gora, "oars up".
Women and traineras
Although most rowing teams were male, evidence from the historical bertsos tells us that female rowers existed, referred to as batelerak in Basque. The name derives from batel, a name for a smaller type of boat with 4 rowers and a cox. Evidence can also be seen in the traditional batelera dantza (batelera dance) which is performed by women with oars.
More recently, female teams have also begun to take plains in the trainera regattas proper.
The origins of the various kinds of trainera regatta lie in fishing and whaling, both highly important sources of income in earlier periods. Traditionally, the first boat back at the quay got the best price for their fish. As the boat and all equipment was usually owned by the skipper and the crew hired by oral contract, the skipper would first deduct the boat and net share (25%) from the earnings, then deduct any further expenses for bait and provisions. Only then would the remained be shared in equal parts so it was in everybody's interest to get back as fast as possible to get the best price possible.
Similarly, when whaling was at its height in along the Bay of Biscay teams would race to be the first to reach a sighted whale.
- The trainera which has and elevated prow and rounded stern, ideally suited for navigating the choppy waters off the coast at speed needed to catch anchovy and sardines. The crew consists of 13 rowers and one cox. The rowers are divided into two rows of six, plus the bow rower, who is alone on his bench.
- The trainerilla (Spanish for 'little trainera') has a crew of 6 rowers and one cox, all sitting in a row.
- The batel is a smaller boat used close to the coast for a variety of fish, with 4 rowers and a cox.
The first documented regatta which was held as a sporting event was in 1859 in the Bay of Santander between the people of Castro Urdiales and some Biscayan crews. The Castro Urdiales team won the race and regattas have been held as sporting event ever since.
Much more important was the race held in Santander two years later, in 1861, in the presence of Queen Isabella II on official visit to the capital of Cantabria. The Cantabrians beat back to the Biscayans and the local press echoed the news and even a famous folk song known as the Jota del Regateo was composed. The Flag of Santander is still held today, making it the oldest rowing competition that is still celebrated in Spain.
The first documented estropada in Basque Country was twelve years later, in 1871, between the people of Hondarribia and Pasaia, involving a bet about who could reach San Sebastián first setting our from Hondarribia. The Pasaia team won the 13 mile race. Originally the teams would race from one particular seaside town to another but today most races are held locally.
In 1916 a man from Mutriku called Bizente Ormazabal built a new, sleek type of boat for a group from Getaria called Golondrina (Spanish for 'swallow'). At the same time motors were introduced to the fishing industry so the commercial use of rowing boats quickly disappeared and more and more were used for the estropadak. Over time the design changed, building more for speed than fishing, reducing the weight and the width.
As rowing turned from a profession into a sport, fewer and fewer fishermen competed and more and more teams were put together from non-seafaring backgrounds as they could train more regularly than fishermen.
The most famous of all trainera regattas today is the Kontxako Estropadak, Kontxako Bandera o Bandera de la Concha, Kontxako Badia / Bahía de la Concha being the name of the main bay of Donostia. It was first organised by the city's council in 1879 and is said to have drawn a crowd of some 12,000 spectators.

The English Textura and Great Primer Uncials
Textura, known more commonly as "blackletter," is the oldest form of European movable type: it was this style of letter which appeared in the 42-line bible printed by Johann Gutenberg in Mainz around 1455. The subject chosen for this digitization is the English Textura cut by Henric Pieterszoon Lettersnijder before 1492, which emerged as the most common type for Dutch books of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Amazingly, the brass "matrices" from which this type was cast still survive, in the collection of the Enschedé Museum in Haarlem. They may be the oldest set of matrices in the world.
Accompanying the textura lowercase is a set of "uncials," a medieval analogue of the modern drop cap, also cut by Pieterszoon around 1508. Both faces are reproduced from Sixteenth Century Printing Types of the Low Countries, by H. D. L. Vervliet and Harry Carter, Menno Herzberger & Co, Amsterdam, 1968. The textura's lowercase a has been borrowed from the a-macron sort, the hairlines of its lowercase o have been thinned, and its lowercase d has been widened. As with the other faces in the Historical Allsorts package, characters that postdate the original source have been fabricated; it is otherwise authentic.

Why is there no reactionary international theory?
MacKay, Joseph; LaRoche, Christopher David
Why is there no reactionary international theory? International relations has long drawn on a range of traditions in political thought. However, no current, or even recent, major school of international-relations theory embraces reactionary doctrine. This is more surprising than some might assume. Reaction was once common in the field and is now increasingly common in world politics. In this note, we define reaction and show that no active and influential school of international-relations...[Show more]

Malaysia is set to attract over 2 trillion baht in investment in 2023, according to the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA). The report revealed that the approved investments in Malaysia during 2022 reached 264 billion ringgit (approximately 2.05 trillion baht) covering 4,454 projects and is expected to create 140,370 job opportunities for Malaysians.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) accounted for 61.7% of total investment, or 163 billion ringgit (about 1.26 trillion baht), while domestic direct investment accounted for 38.3%, or 101 billion ringgit (approximately 7.85 billion baht). China topped the list of all approved FDIs, followed by the United States, the Netherlands, Singapore, and Japan.
The service sector recorded the highest amount of approved investment at RM154 billion (approx. 1.19 trillion baht), followed by the manufacturing sector at RM84.3 billion, and agriculture at 26.3 billion ringgit (about 204 billion baht).
According to the Malaysian Minister of International Trade and Industry, Malaysia is making every effort to become the digital hub of ASEAN rapidly. This is due to the country's developed infrastructure in information and communication technology, knowledgeable and capable personnel in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, a strong intellectual property protection framework, and the rule of law.
Malaysia's steady economic growth has been attracting a considerable amount of foreign investment. With the government's efforts to provide a conducive business environment, the country aims to maintain its momentum and continue to attract investors, leading to further economic growth and job creation.


Top 8 Landlord Legal Responsibilities in Idaho
How to stay out of legal trouble with your tenants in Idaho. Here's how.
Related Ads
Landlord & Tenant Books and Forms
Successful property managers in Idaho know the importance of staying on top of landlord-tenant law. They choose tenants in a nondiscriminatory way, maintain their rental properties, and follow state rules on the return of security deposits. Less successful landlords too often fail to comply with their legal responsibilities, with the result that many end up spending a great deal of time and money dealing with tenant disputes and lawsuits.
Here are top ways to follow the law and stay out of legal trouble in Idaho.
1. Comply With Anti-Discrimination Laws
2. Follow State Rent Rules
All landlords want their tenants to pay rent on time and without hassle. If you need to raise the rent or evict a tenant who hasn't paid rent, you'll want to be sure you comply with the specific rules and procedures in Idaho. State law regulates several rent-related issues, such as how much time (three days in Idaho) a tenant has to pay rent or move before a landlord can file for eviction. For details, see Idaho Termination for Nonpayment of Rent and Other Rent Rules.
3. Meet State Security Deposit Limits and Return Rules
Security deposits are among the biggest sources of dispute between landlords and tenants. To avoid problems, be sure you know state rules, such as when the deposit must be returned (21 days after the tenant moves out, or up to 30 days if both landlord and tenant agree). Using a landlord-tenant checklist when a tenant moves in (and moves out of) a rental, and sending a written security deposit itemization when the tenant leaves will go a long way in avoiding disputes.
4. Provide Habitable Housing
You are legally required to keep rental premises livable in Idaho, under a legal doctrine called the "implied warranty of habitability." If you don't take care of important repairs, such as a broken heater, tenants in Idaho may have pursue various options, such as moving out.
5. Prepare a Legal Written Lease or Rental Agreement
6. Make Legally Required Lead Paint Disclosures
Landlords must comply with required federal disclosures regarding lead-based paint on the property, or face hefty financial penalties.
7. Follow Exact Procedures for Terminating a Tenancy or Evicting a Tenant
State laws specify when and how a landlord may terminate a tenancy. Failure to follow the legal rules may result in delays (sometimes extensive) in terminating a tenancy. Idaho laws are very specific as to the amount and type of termination notice--for example, depending on the situation, such as the type of lease violation, a landlord must give a tenant three days' notice before the landlord can file for eviction. See State Laws on Unconditional Quit Terminations and State Laws on Termination for Violation of Lease for more information on these types of termination notices in Idaho.
8. Take Advantage of Legal Resources Available to Landlords


Mono and stereo performance of the two SST-1M telescope prototypes
Jakub Jurysek (on behalf of SST-1M Group), ICRC 2023, Nagoya, Japan, 26. 7. – 3. 8. 2023
The Single-Mirror Small-Sized Telescope, or SST-1M, was originally developed as a prototype of a small-sized telescope for CTA, designed to form an array for observations of gamma-ray-induced atmospheric showers for energies above 3 TeV. A pair of SST-1M telescopes is currently being commissioned at the Ondrejov Observatory in the Czech Republic, and the telescope capabilities for mono and stereo observations are being tested in better astronomical conditions. The final location for the telescopes will be decided based on these tests. In this contribution, we present a data analysis pipeline called sst1mpipe, and the performance of the telescopes when working independently and in a stereo regime.

- Low maintenance
- Versions for in-line, immersion or tank installation
- Ideal for evaporative towers, process waters, concentrated solutions
- Made from a polypropylene mold loaded with fiber glass
The S411/IND sensor uses the conductivity measurement system with inductive sensors, which has many advantages over other conventional methods, as the absence of electrodes in contact with the fluid to be measured makes the system virtually maintenance-free and re-calibrated for long periods of time.
The S411/IND sensor has a large tolerance with respect to the sensor coating phenomen, probably the most common problem found in measurements with traditional electrodes. The sensor is engineered to obtain a low cost product without sacrificing quality performance, this result was obtained by making a polypropylene mold loaded with glass fiber which contains the sensor.
The system thus allows to maintain all the advantages of the inductive measurement.

The dose equivalent in rem is numerically equal to the absorbed dose, D, in rad multiplied by the quality factor Q. 1 rem = 0.01 sievert. (See sievert, rad). Note: for most medical applications involving x-ray or gamma emitters, the numerical values of the absorbed dose in rad, dose equivalent in rem and exposure in R are roughly equivalent numerically.

The MRC Nano coated glass guarantees the necessary optical quality and also does not have any adverse effect on a correspondingly high-quality lens. The MRC Nano coating contains a multi-layer anti-reflective component with 7 layers per filter side to prevent annoying reflections. An outer layer with the usual dirt- and water-repellent properties is applied as the final layer. This not only provides all-around protection for the filter, but also makes it easy to clean and maintain the filter pane. The light attenuation itself is very uniform over the entire visible range and therefore produces optimal, color-neutral images.
- Reducing the amount of light entering the camera
- Suitable for both analog and digital cameras
- Selective sharpness by achieving larger apertures – ideal for portraiture
- Long exposures producing a cotton candy effect on moving water and deserted streets void of people and cars
- Wipe effects, continuous light trails
- MRC Nano Coating
- Made in Germany
*Please Note: ND filters must not be used for direct visual solar observation (risk of blinding). They let through UV- and IR-rays which harm the eyes. Special sun filters for direct observation of the sun are available from astronomy suppliers.

Cell Selection and Re-Selection
Cell selection entity handles the cell selection/ reselection functionality, it is responsible for selecting the most suitable cell to camp on for the UE. The cell selections are made on different parameters. These parameters include the Power parameters and the parameters included in the system information Broadcasts.
Cell Selection Criteria
In order to be the candidate for a suitable or acceptable cell, the following criterion is to be met:
Srxlev > 0
Srxlev = Qrxmeasured – Qrxlevmin – Pcomposition
Cell Re-Selection Criteria
The cell reselection is performed on the basis of the ranking of the current and the neighboring cells. The ranking is performed on the basis of the following R values
Rs = Qmeas,s + Qhysts
Rn = Qmeas,n – Qoffsets,n
Cell Selection Process Diagram
In the Idle mode the CSE performs the following tasks in order to select a cell:
1. When a PLMN is selected the cell selection is made through one of the cell selection procedures
2. If suitable cell is found the UE camp normally on the cell.
3. In camp normally state the cell reselection is made depending upon the triggers described later in this document.
4. If no suitable cell found in 2, the UE searches for an acceptable cell and enters the camp on any cell state
5. In camp on any state the cell reselection is made depending upon the triggers, if no suitable cell found the UE move to any cell state
6. If suitable cell found in 5 the UE move to the camp normally state.
7. In either state i.e. camped normally or camped on any when ever the UE returns from the connected mode to the idle mode the UE tries to camp on the last cell used for camping in the connected mode.
8. In case last cell in 5 is not a suitable or acceptable cell, procedure 1 and 4 are repeated depending upon the camped state.
The following figure shows the process diagram of the cell selection and re-selection
in idle mode for LTE.

long escort mission, each batch of vessels had continuous overseas performance for months, and never had engine problems. This showed that domestic GT25000 gas turbine's reliability and economy were adapted to China's needs. The power system based on the GT25000 could continue to improve its technology and performance deficiencies.
According to the "China Aviation News" reports, the QC185 medium power gas turbines achieved first ignition on 29 August 2010, and idle state to achieve stable operation. The QC70 low-power gas turbine completed the first phase of reliability testing, which lasted 13 months, on 22 August 2010. From both the volume and power perspective, both can be used for naval power, QC185 can be used for large destroyers, QC70 can be used in hovercraft. This showed that China had developed and manufactured equipment Gas Turbine, a key step forward in the road.
China's gas turbine technology has been unable to break through bottlenecks because the gas turbine industry itself faces institutional problem. The most important reason was the lack of a long-term engine development plan for China's aviation industry. Due to a late start, lack of experience and industrial base, China has failed to come up with the core of a large-scale practical machine model.

Appeal to the Australian Government to Ratify the
United Nations Convention on the Protection of the Rights of
All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families
(The Migrant Workers Convention)
International Migrants Day – 18 December 2011
The Migrant Workers Convention is one of the nine core United Nations human rights treaties. It has been ratified by 45 countries. On this 21st anniversary of the signing of this Convention and eight years after it entered into force, we join in the civil society appeal to Australia to ratify the Convention and to be become a leader advocating for the protection of human rights of those who work outside their country of origin. The Convention upholds what is already obvious: that the rights of migrants and their families are human rights.
Australia and Ratification of the Convention
The Australian government has stated that its laws are already consistent with the standards of the Convention.
Australia's voice and leadership on this issue will make a difference for migrants everywhere and will reinforce the efforts of those in Australia working to ensure these commonly accepted employment standards are upheld.
Australia has been one of the greatest migrant receiving countries in history, and the modern Australian community has come into being through generations of migration. In 2010 Australia was home to 6 million migrants born in over 200 countries of the world. The country has strived for a high standard in the inclusion accorded to new arrivals, and to ensure that they become part of its community. The Convention will help Australia to advance this high standard into the future as the world responds to the globalisation of labour. Ratification will complement existing government efforts to address the exploitation of migrant workers that occurs via clandestine labour movements and labour trafficking.
Conditions Faced by Migrant Workers Around the World
It is intolerable that an individual working far from home should be kept in virtual slavery.
It is unacceptable that a worker should be denied the rightful wages they have earned, simply because they are working outside their country of birth.
Women or men carrying out the work of caring for the homes of their employer, should not be denied their human dignity and such work should not be denied the respect it deserves.
Farm workers who tend to the crops and collect the produce that feeds the world, are entitled to expect that society will uphold their human rights. All workers are entitled to a safe place of work.
All migrant workers and their families are entitled to the equal protection of the law which is their fundamental human right.
These are some of the conditions that the Convention addresses.
Appeal to Australia
Australia has been a strong and clear voice in international forums for international human rights standards. Its voice has been raised for the rights of women, for children, against torture, against racism, for civil and political rights, and for economic, social and cultural rights. By ratifying the Convention, Australia can play a leading role in our region and support neighbouring nations to end the exploitation of migrants. We appeal to Australia to ratify and to stand as a strong advocate for these human rights in international forums in which it participates.
This statement has been issued by the Human Rights Council of Australia, in support of the Campaign for Australian ratification of the Migrant Workers Convention. For more information visit: _URL_
