How Do You Make Swelling Go Down Fast?
How long does it take for swelling to go down?
What naturally reduces swelling?
What to eat to reduce swelling in feet?
Magnesium-rich foods (tofu, spinach, cashews) Magnesium deficiency causes water retention in the body. Therefore, when you are suffering from swollen feet, eat magnesium-rich foods. These include tofu, spinach, cashews, almonds, dark chocolate, broccoli and avocados.
Does ibuprofen help with swelling?
Should I heat or ice first?
Is swelling a sign of healing?
Swelling. Swelling is a sign that your immune system is repairing your wound. The blood vessels widen to ease blood flow and send oxygen, vitamins, and minerals to your injury.
Does ice reduce swelling after 24 hours?
Icing is most effective in the immediate time period following an injury. 1 The effect of icing diminishes significantly after about 48 hours. In an effort to reduce swelling and minimize inflammation, try to get the ice applied as soon as possible after the injury.
What medicine stops swelling?
What causes whole body swelling?
Edema occurs when tiny blood vessels in your body (capillaries) leak fluid. The fluid builds up in surrounding tissues, leading to swelling. Mild cases of edema may result from: Sitting or staying in one position for too long.
Can I leave an ice pack on overnight?
Is apple cider vinegar good for swelling?
What happens if you ice too long?
How do you reduce swelling without ice?
Is heat or cold better for swelling?
Does ice reduce swelling?
How long does it take for swelling to go down with ice?
How do I reduce swelling?
Does swelling get worse before it gets better?
Is swelling good for healing?
Swelling isn't good for us all the time. It initially helps by recruiting healing factors that accelerate how quickly cells migrate to the site of injury – but swelling is also bad because it destructs and distends the tissues, and distorts the anatomy.
Does heat help swelling go down?
Using the ice helps to narrow blood vessels and keeps swelling down. People who often exercise should use ice after working out, not heat. Ice will help reduce any swelling from a grueling workout routine. Heat, on the other hand, can increase swelling and prevent muscles from healing.
What kind of tea reduces swelling?

I'm writing a game, and I need to simulate a the path of a cannon ball. I imagine I would have the initial velocity vector, and a vector for gravity. Is there a good tutorial on how to do this? (maybe I need to read some high school text books?)
migrated from stackoverflow.com Nov 24 '11 at 21:15
What I would do is learn how to use Cocos2d. You can use a function thats kind of like a timer, it is called 60 times a second by default but you can change this.
What you would do with this is update the x/y position of your sprite (the cannonball image) by a minuscule amount inside this time function, called ccTime.
If your actually looking for the math for the trajectory, here is an amazing tutorial on that
Here is a question on a forum very similar to yours
You show read the basics of the trajectory from where you can extract any equation you need.

An animation sequence is a sequence that is not associated with a song (or video, or other audio file). This is as opposed to a musical sequence.
There are some other differences between animation sequences and musical sequences:
|•||Animation sequences can contain loops, which musical sequences cannot;|
|•||Tracks in an animation sequence can be of different lengths, while tracks in a musical sequence must be the same length;|
|•||Generally speaking, only one musical sequence can be played at a time (although there is an exception to this, described in the help page on musical sequences), whereas many animation sequences can be played simultaneously.|

It is widely acknowledged that the purity of a carrier gas is critical for the performance, longevity and maintenance of analytical instruments - "contaminants in gases can significantly impact your analysis. Oxygen, hydrocarbons, and moisture can cause loss of sensitivity and accuracy of the GC and damage your column." (1) Variations in the sensitivities of samples may cause high baseline noise in analytical results due to water moisture and oxygen, which could distort the sample results.
To identify the appropriate hydrogen source for the operation, it is essential to understand the purity of different hydrogen supply methods, this will have a significant impact on the performance of analysis conducted.
In addition to stable results, the use of research grade (or better) high purity hydrogen can provide various other benefits. "Oxygen is known for causing column stationary phase and inlet liner degradation in analytical instruments, further damaging the decomposition of labile analytes." (2)
Removing contaminants like oxygen is vital to GC performance because "as the column is heated, very rapid degradation of the stationary phase occurs. This results in the premature onset of excessive column bleed, peak tailing for active compounds and/or loss of efficiency (resolution) by the time oxygen damage is discovered, significant column damage has already occurred. In less severe cases, the column may still be functional but at a reduced performance level. In more severe cases, the column is irreversibly damaged." (3)
The purity of the carrier gas is a critical factor to consider to obtain stable results and to extend the service life of the GC column. Understanding the supply of a carrier gas and the variability that is introduced into a process is critical.
In general, there are two methods to supply hydrogen to laboratories:
- Bulk hydrogen delivery usually sourced from large natural gas reformation plants and stored in cylinders or tube trailers for easier delivery
- On-site hydrogen generation via water electrolysis
The bulk delivery method has been in practice for decades, and has proven to be a reliable hydrogen source for the laboratory market. The purity content of bulk hydrogen and the cost for guaranteed high purity are the key factors to consider when choosing a hydrogen source for gas chromatography applications.
Water moisture, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbon are some of the most common contaminants present in bulk hydrogen delivery, negatively affecting analyses. (4)
It is necessary to take appropriate measures to mitigate these contaminants to control the performance of analytical instruments and ensure accurate results. Packaging, distribution, and purification methods all affect the purity of the gas supplied to the customer.
The variability of purity, and in certain cases the reliability of supply, has prompted several lab managers and chemists to consider generating their own hydrogen via water electrolysis. On-site hydrogen generation via water electrolysis delivers a research grade pure hydrogen source for use as a carrier gas, providing users with complete control over cost and supply.
Hydrogen generated via Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) water electrolysis technology is free from impurities other than oxygen, nitrogen, and water moisture in trace amounts that are well below levels that have a negative impact on the sample results or column life. As a result, the hydrogen is allowed to maintain a consistent level of purity.
Testing was performed by two third-party laboratories to examine the output of a hydrogen gas generator producing 99.99999% pure hydrogen to be employed as a carrier gas for GC analysis. As mentioned earlier, the carrier gas purity is a key factor as it not only impacts the sample results in analytical testing but also the longevity of analytical instruments employed.
Water moisture and oxygen output levels were the target contaminants in the analysis. A Proton OnSite® model G600-HP was the hydrogen generator used. A Delta-F DF-550 Nanotrace Oxygen Analyzer, with a detection level down to 0.2 ppb and resolution of 0.1 ppb, was used to measure the oxygen and a GE Moisture Monitor Series 35 IS was used to measure the water moisture output.
Guaranteed Ultra High Purity and Consistent Results
Proton's water electrolysis system's enabling feature is the proton exchange membrane (PEM), which allows only positive ions and water to cross between compartments. As the membrane also acts as the electrolyte in the cell, the system does not require harmful liquid electrolytes such as concentrated potassium hydroxide.
During PEM water electrolysis, pure deionized water (H2O) is split into its components, hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2), on either side of this membrane. When a DC voltage is applied to the electrolyzer, water fed to the anode or oxygen electrode are oxidized to oxygen and protons, while electrons are released.
The protons (H+ ions) then pass through the PEM to the cathode, or hydrogen electrode, where they are reduced to hydrogen gas upon reaction with the electrons from the other side of the circuit.
The two reactions that occur in the cell are as follows:
2H2O → 4H+ + 4e- +O2
4H+ + 4e- → 2H2
The only possible components of the streams are hydrogen, oxygen and water moisture (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Illustration
The hydrogen generator used in this experiment utilizes Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology with a high differential pressure design, generating hydrogen at 8 barg and oxygen at ambient pressure in a safe and efficient manner. This significant pressure difference eliminates the chance of oxygen entering the hydrogen stream, ensuring superior unity safety and producing ultra high pure hydrogen for analytical applications.
Figure 2 shows that the average oxygen levels measured from the output of the hydrogen gas generator was less than 0.55 ppb after achieving a stable baseline. Figure 3 displays the water content testing results, showing the hydrogen gas generator performance at approximately 20 ppb.
With oxygen below 1 ppb and water moisture content below 20 ppb, the total impurities are less than 50 ppb. Therefore, the hydrogen gas purity of the G600-HP is around 99.999995%, approaching 99.999999%.

Figure 3. Water content results from G600-HP
Efficiency is a critical factor for laboratories when testing a sample. High purity hydrogen can benefit analysis. Based on the ability to reduce band broadening, high purity carrier gas enables lower detection limits. Sharp peaks can be obtained with high purity hydrogen, simplifying the process and improving the performance.
When performing trace analysis on samples with extremely low concentrations, a high purity carrier gas must be relied on to ensure a stable reading. There are many advantages when introducing a high purity carrier gas into GC testing.
In addition to high sensitivity, faster analysis, and lowered baseline noise, hydrogen generated on-site with a high purity hydrogen generator offers additional benefits. "Ensuring gas hygiene is one of the most important steps you can take to optimize GC system performance. Impure gases can introduce contaminants, or cause installation delays, premature instrument failure, and flawed results." (5)
"All but the 6.0 grades of gas are qualified by statistical quality control. Generally, 10% or fewer of the cylinders in a fill batch will be analyzed to verify gas quality....The problem with per cylinder guarantees is that the analytical costs incurred by the gas supplier to ensure the gas quality of each cylinder are passed along to the customer." (4)
When it is determined that certified high purity gas is required for a lab, the cost associated with this requirement becomes an issue. "The inefficient use of increasingly expensive and rare gas can go right to your bottom line." (5) Alternatively, many labs prefer to purchase uncertified cylinder gases.
In doing so, gas chromatography manufacturers often suggest that laboratories purchase gas traps, such as moisture traps, oxygen traps, and hydrocarbon traps and contamination traps, as a final line of defense, to filter impurities and purify the inlet carrier gas, resulting in additional consumable expenses.
Laboratory professionals can benefit from producing high purity hydrogen on-site in both certified and uncertified gas cylinder sourcing, achieving better control over their gas purity and costs associated with hydrogen supply to their GC analyses.
"The general principle is that your GC gases should be free of the impurities that would interfere with your specific analysis or would degrade your chromatographic equipment." (4) On-site hydrogen generators that employ PEM technology use only DI water and electricity, so their output does not contain any impurities except trace amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, and water moisture.
The G600-HP produces research grade hydrogen with less than 20 ppb water moisture and less than 1 ppb oxygen, eliminating the need for laboratories to purchase purification tools, such as gas traps, which further increase the cost of their processes. "This reduces the risks of column damage, sensitivity loss, and instrument downtime." (1)
Extended Column Life
Using hydrogen as a carrier gas for gas chromatographs can be very beneficial, especially in extending the service life of the column as it enables a faster analysis due to the higher linear velocity of hydrogen. Using hydrogen also keeps the column temperature low due to the speed of the separations.
Column life is a quintessential aspect of maintaining sound analytical instruments and ensuring stable readings. The use of inappropriate carrier gas makes columns susceptible to many contaminants. The presence of contaminants not only threaten the condition of the analytical instruments, but also the testing results.
"With extended use, columns may accumulate absorptive debris or experience a loss of surface deactivation that leads to increased polar peak tailing and subsequent loss of resolution as well as compromised minimum detectable levels," (6) making it vital for laboratory professionals to secure a safe and dependable high purity carrier gas for analytical testing.

text: Abstract A review is presented of the unitarity problem in modern quantum cosmology - quantum gravity theory of spatially closed worlds. Based on the usual path-integral quantization of true physical variables, we arrive at the standard Dirac-Wheeler-DeWitt formulation of quantum cosmology, which now becomes supplemented with the algorithms for conserved probability amplitudes and thus constitutes a manifestly unitary field theory. The related issue of the many-fingered time parametrizing the unitary evolution in quantum cosmology is discussed in much detail. We also give a review of the generalized canonical quantization in relativistic gauges of Batalin, Fradkin and Vilkovisky (BFV) and show that the Dirac-Wheeler-DeWitt formalism occupies an intermediate position between quantizing the physical variables and the BFV theory. The unitarity approach, which is developed in the exact theory within the framework of the formal path-integral quantization, is confirmed at a strictly operatorial level in the one-loop approximation of a semiclassical loop expansion. In particular, the general semiclassical solution of the Wheeler-DeWitt equations is presented and its implications in the theory of the early inflationary Universe are considered. The prospects of the third-order quantization and the unification of unitary quantum cosmology with the Euclidean quantum gravity are briefly discussed.

First Flush Devices - A Review
by Doug Pushard
What is a First Flush? Is there one perfect type of First Flush device? Where do I put a First Flush on my rainwater catchment system?
First Flush or Rain Diverters, as the name implies, flush off the first water of a storm before it enters the storage tank. This is the water that could be the most contaminated by particulates, bird droppings, and other materials laying on the roof. Eliminating these contaminants before they enter into your storage and conveyance system is critical to keeping rainwater clean.
After screening your gutters, a First Flush device is the next line of defense in keeping your system and water clean. This is especially true if the water is used inside the house or where children or those with weakened immune systems may come in contact with the water.
Over the years, numerous articles have been written about First Flush devices and it is still an area of much research. However, it is generally agreed that these devices can improve the quality of the rainwater, lengthen the life of your system components, and reduce overall maintenance. The simple diagram above depicts the theory behind these devices (i.e. draining off first rainfall before it enters the tank).
Below is a summary of some the major articles and resources addressing First Flush devices. These should provide a general reference in evaluating the need for a first flush and the type of device best suited for your unique situation.
Rainwater Harvesting Pty Ltd First Flush website article
This article discusses the wide array of designs and sizes of First Flush devices with pictures of the different designs. According to this article, First Flush devices are a critical component of rainwater harvesting systems. By preventing the first, most contaminated water from the roof they:
- Improve rainwater quality and safety
- Help extend the life of pumps (used to distribute rainwater for use)and internal appliances (such as hot water systems, washing machines, dishwashers, etc)
- Reduce tank maintenance
This article sites a study done in Australia which preliminarily concludes that the quality of the water improves dramatically with the use of First Flush water diverters.
First Flush Device Comparisons - An article by Kenneth Vidacovich published
February 2004, and available on Green Pages compares Constant-Volume Containers and First Flush Devices. This article reviews the effects of rain intensity, the general variability of rainfall intensity and maintenance issues in terms of functionality and possible health concerns. Cost estimates are made in order to compare the costs of two popularly used configurations.
This article provides an excellent overview article with detailed comparison between the two different types of devices with good instructions on how to construct a device. The author of the article is the President of FloTrue, a manufacturer of a First Flush device.
A major point from the article: "Rainfall events "generally" start at a low intensity (i.e. mist or drizzle), and rain intensity is the critical washoff factor; it is likely that a constant-volume container will substantially fill with clean water. Then, when more intense rains begin, debris and contaminates from the roof can undesirably wash into the water storage vessel. This is the major pitfall of constant-volume First Flush devices. First Flush valves can be designed to substantially overcome this pitfall."
The Texas Manual on Rainwater Harvesting - 3rd Edition - is an excellent manual that is recommended reading for anyone interested in rainwater harvesting.
Included in this manual is a chapter on First Flush devices and instructions on how to build a simple low-cost device.
People for Rainwater FAQ from Japan states that according to research done in March - April 1980 on rainwater collected from the roof of an office building in central Tokyo, about 0.19 - 0.39 of an inch (.5 - 1 cm) of rainfall was needed to wash the surface of the roof. Other research, done in August - September 1986, also in central Tokyo, measuring the degree of change in water quality in rainwater collected from a roof after a period of about 11 days of no rain, showed that water quality is generally stable after 0.59 - 0.78 of an inch (1.5 - 2 cm) of rain. In other words, even after a dry spell, only about the first 0.59 of an inch (1.5 cm) of rainwater is affected by pollutants accumulated on the rain-collecting surface.
Effects of First Flush on Rainwater Qualitypublished in May 2006, by the International Rainwater Catchment found that First Flush systems contribute signifcantly to reducing the contaminents that are washed off the roof harvesting area.
According to this article, rainwater users can reduce their risks of disease from contaminated rainwater consumption by regular maintenance and using a well-designed system. A range of pathogens has been found in roof-collected rainwater including Salmonella, Campylobacter, Giardia and Cryptosporidium. The likely sources of these pathogens were faecal material deposited by birds, frogs, rodents and possums, and dead animals and insects, either in the gutters or in the water tank itself.
However, detailed event studies undertaken in South East Queensland (SEQ) in Australia have shown that discarding the first.039 of an inch (~1 cm) of runoff with a First Flush device usually does little to substantially reduce the event mean concentration of bacteria and heavy metals entering a rainwater tank during a storm event.
The article also discusses a study by SEQ on first flush devices that highlighted the complexity of roof runoff chemistry. A current research project is underway which is investigating the effect of geographic location (i.e. cities, suburbs, air quality) on bulk contaminant deposition on roofs, the interaction of roofing material and rainfall characteristics on contaminant concentration in the runoff, and the transformation of contaminants that occur in a rainwater tank due to biogeochemical processes.
Rainwater Harvesting Technology Filters and Separatorsby Development Technology Unit of
the School of Engineering,
University of Warwick, covers all the different types of first flush options including: manual, fixed volume, fixed mass and flow rate. Additionally, the article includes the pros and cons of different placements (i.e. at downpipe, in downpipe, etc) of the filter options.
Key highlights from this article: 1) users will usually only spend 5-10% of cost of system on filtering the water, 2) manual systems are usually employed only in very low cost situations, and 3) filtration systems require maintenance and are usually disabled if not easy to maintain.
In summary, First Flush devices can improve the quality of your rainwater, but how much is still under debate. However, all devices that remove impurities and particulates before your water is stored are a good thing. Consequently, regardless of the proven and agreed upon health consequences, cleaning your rainwater will reduce your maintenance and lengthen the life of the system components.
Some general rules of thumb:
- As a general guideline First Flush devices should remove about 10 gallons (37.8 liters) of water per 1,000 square feet (92.9 square meters) of roof/catchment area
- Remember to size for each downspout of the catchment/roof area
- If harvesting rainwater in an area with high pollution (e.g. urban area with poor air quality), an area with lots of dust or other pollution sources, a larger First Flush is required
- First flush devices need to have an easy way to open and maintain. If not, the First Flush will most likely be disabled.

Background: Newer generation biocomposite anchors are hypothesized to resorb more reliably and faster, while allowing for bone ingrowth and replacement.
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to (1) assess anchor resorption and bone ingrowth over time, (2) identify tunnel widening or potential reactions to the implants, (3) compare imaging findings for different sites of labral repair, and (4) determine patient subjective outcomes with the use of biocomposite anchors in glenoid labral repair.
Study design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
Methods: We enrolled 22 patients to participate in a 24-month outcomes study that included subjective and objective outcome assessments after glenoid labrum repair surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed at 6 and 12 months to identify any potential reactions to implants. Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed at 12 and 24 months to determine anchor resorption and bone ingrowth. Sixteen patients and 47 anchors were available for follow-up at 24 months. An independent, fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologist read the scans. Subjective outcome scores measured at 24 months postoperatively included Simple Shoulder Test, Tegner activity scale, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder scores.
Results: No adverse events were reported with the use of biocomposite anchors at the end of the study period. At 12 and 24 months, respectively, CT scans demonstrated that an estimated 68% and 98% of combined anchor material had been absorbed, 56% and 78% of the anchor material had been replaced by soft tissue of variable density, and 9% and 20% of total anchor volume was replaced by bone. No obvious mechanical failure of the labral repairs was detected on nonarthrogram MRI. Three of the 47 anchors showed bone cyst formation. Tunnel widening (expansion beyond tunnel diameter of 3 mm; 2.9-mm drill hole utilized) was seen in 55% of the anchors but decreased between 12 and 24 months, consistent with bone replacement. Tunnel widening was seen more in anteroinferior and posterior glenoid anchor locations (84% and 57%, respectively) than in superior labral anchors (13%). Subjective outcome scores at 24 months for ASES and UCLA shoulder scores averaged 88 and 30, respectively. All but one patient were satisfied with their outcome at 24 months.
Conclusion: Our imaging evaluation indicates resorption of newer generation biocomposite anchors with progressive bone replacement at 12 and 24 months while maintaining acceptable subjective outcomes.

You only have free questions left (including this one).
Here's a sample binary tree node class:
_USER_ ICKBinaryTreeNode : NSObject _USER_ (nonatomic) NSInteger value; _USER_ (nonatomic) ICKBinaryTreeNode *left; _USER_ (nonatomic) ICKBinaryTreeNode *right; - (instancetype)initWithValue:(NSInteger)value; - (ICKBinaryTreeNode*)insertLeft:(NSInteger)leftValue; - (ICKBinaryTreeNode*)insertRight:(NSInteger)rightValue; _USER_ _USER_ ICKBinaryTreeNode - (instancetype)initWithValue:(NSInteger)value { if (self = [super init]) { self.value = value; } return self; } - (ICKBinaryTreeNode*)insertLeft:(NSInteger)leftValue { self.left = [[ICKBinaryTreeNode alloc] initWithValue:leftValue]; return self.left; } - (ICKBinaryTreeNode*)insertRight:(NSInteger)rightValue { self.right = [[ICKBinaryTreeNode alloc] initWithValue:rightValue]; return self.right; } _USER_
Consider this example:
A binary tree. To the left of the root is a subtree with a node containing 30, its left child containing 20, and its right child (highlighted in blue) 60.
Notice that when you check the blue node against its parent, it seems correct. However, it's greater than the root, so it should be in the root's right subtree. So we see that checking a node against its parent isn't sufficient to prove that it's in the correct spot.
We can do this in time and additional space, where n is the number of nodes in our tree. Our additional space is if our tree is balanced.
One way to break the problem down is to come up with a way to confirm that a single node is in a valid place relative to its ancestors. Then if every node passes this test, our whole tree is a valid BST.
What makes a given node "correct" relative to its ancestors in a BST? Two things:
 - if a node is in the ancestor's left subtree, then it must be less than the ancestor, and
 - if a node is in the ancestor's right subtree, then it must be greater than the ancestor.
So we could do a walk through our binary tree, keeping track of the ancestors for each node and whether the node should be greater than or less than each of them. If each of these greater-than or less-than relationships holds true for each node, our BST is valid.
The simplest ways to traverse the tree are depth-first and breadth-first. They have the same time cost (they each visit each node once). Depth-first traversal of a tree uses memory proportional to the depth of the tree, while breadth-first traversal uses memory proportional to the breadth of the tree (how many nodes there are on the "level" that has the most nodes).
Because the tree's breadth can as much as double each time it gets one level deeper, depth-first traversal is likely to be more space-efficient than breadth-first traversal, though they are strictly both additional space in the worst case. The space savings are obvious if we know our binary tree is balanced—its depth will be and its breadth will be.
But we're not just storing the nodes themselves in memory, we're also storing the value from each ancestor and whether it should be less than or greater than the given node. Each node has ancestors ( for a balanced binary tree), so that gives us additional memory cost ( for a balanced binary tree). We can do better.
Let's look at the inequalities we'd need to store for a given node:
A binary tree with a root node of 50. To the left of the root is a node containing 30, whose left child contains 20, whose left child (highlighted in blue) contains 10.
Notice that we would end up testing that the blue node is <20, <30, and <50. Of course, <30 and <50 are implied by <20. So instead of storing each ancestor, we can just keep track of a lowerBound and upperBound that our node's value must fit inside.
We do a depth-first walk through the tree, testing each node for validity as we go. If a node appears in the left subtree of an ancestor, it must be less than that ancestor. If a node appears in the right subtree of an ancestor, it must be greater than that ancestor.
Instead of keeping track of every ancestor to check these inequalities, we just check the largest number it must be greater than (its lowerBound) and the smallest number it must be less than (its upperBound).
BOOL ICKIsBinarySearchTree(ICKBinaryTreeNode *root) { // start at the root, with an arbitrarily low lower bound // and an arbitrarily high upper bound NSMutableArray *nodeAndBoundsStack = [NSMutableArray new]; [nodeAndBoundsStack addObject:@{ @"node":root, @"lowerBound":_USER_, @"upperBound":_USER_ }]; // depth-first traversal while (nodeAndBoundsStack.count) { // pop from the stack NSDictionary *nodeAndBounds = [nodeAndBoundsStack lastObject]; [nodeAndBoundsStack removeLastObject]; ICKBinaryTreeNode *node = nodeAndBounds[@"node"]; NSNumber *lowerBound = nodeAndBounds[@"lowerBound"]; NSNumber *upperBound = nodeAndBounds[@"upperBound"]; // if this node is invalid, we return NO right away if (node.value <= lowerBound.integerValue || node.value >= upperBound.integerValue) { return NO; } // this node must be less than the current node if (node.left) { [nodeAndBoundsStack addObject:@{ @"node":node.left, @"lowerBound":lowerBound, @"upperBound":@(node.value) }]; } // this node must be greater than the current node if (node.right) { [nodeAndBoundsStack addObject:@{ @"node":node.right, @"lowerBound":@(node.value), @"upperBound":upperBound }]; } } // if none of the nodes were invalid, return YES // (at this point we have checked all nodes) return YES; }
Instead of allocating a stack ourselves, we could write a recursive function that uses the call stack. This would work, but it would be vulnerable to stack overflow. However, the code does end up quite a bit cleaner:
BOOL ICKIsBinarySearchTreeHelper(ICKBinaryTreeNode *root, NSInteger lowerBound, NSInteger upperBound) { if (!root) { return YES; } if (root.value >= upperBound || root.value <= lowerBound) { return NO; } return ICKIsBinarySearchTreeHelper(root.left, lowerBound, root.value) && ICKIsBinarySearchTreeHelper(root.right, root.value, upperBound); } BOOL ICKIsBinarySearchTree(ICKBinaryTreeNode *root) { return ICKIsBinarySearchTreeHelper(root, NSIntegerMin, NSIntegerMax); }
Checking if an in-order traversal of the tree is sorted is a great answer too, especially if you're able to implement it without storing a full list of nodes.
time and space.
The time cost is easy: for valid binary search trees, we'll have to check all n nodes.
Space is a little more complicated. Because we're doing a depth first search, nodeAndBoundsStack will hold at most d nodes where d is the depth of the tree (the number of levels in the tree from the root node down to the lowest node). So we could say our space cost is.
But we can also relate d to n. In a balanced tree, d is \log_{2}{n}. And the more unbalanced the tree gets, the closer d gets to n.
In the worst case, the tree is a straight line of right children from the root where every node in that line also has a left child. The traversal will walk down the line of right children, adding a new left child to the stack at each step. When the traversal hits the rightmost node, the stack will hold half of the n total nodes in the tree. Half n is, so our worst case space cost is.
What if the input tree has duplicate values?
What if NSIntegerMin or NSIntegerMax appear in the input tree?
We could think of this as a greedy approach. We start off by trying to solve the problem in just one walk through the tree. So we ask ourselves what values we need to track in order to do that. Which leads us to our stack that tracks upper and lower bounds.
We could also think of this as a sort of "divide and conquer" approach. The idea in general behind divide and conquer is to break the problem down into two or more subproblems, solve them, and then use that solution to solve the original problem.
In this case, we're dividing the problem into subproblems by saying, "This tree is a valid binary search tree if the left subtree is valid and the right subtree is valid." This is more apparent in the recursive formulation of the answer above.
Of course, it's just fine that our approach could be thought of as greedy or could be thought of as divide and conquer. It can be both. The point here isn't to create strict categorizations so we can debate whether or not something "counts" as divide and conquer.
Instead, the point is to recognize the underlying patterns behind algorithms, so we can get better at thinking through problems.
Sometimes we'll have to kinda smoosh together two or more different patterns to get our answer.

The Regulation of Water Intake in Our Body

The thirst response begins when osmoreceptors detect a decrease in water levels in the blood.

Osmolality is the ratio of solutes in a solution to a volume of solvent in a solution. Plasma osmolality is thus the ratio of solutes to water in blood plasma. A person's plasma osmolality value reflects his or her state of hydration. A healthy body maintains plasma osmolality within a narrow range, by employing several mechanisms that regulate both water intake and output.
Drinking water is considered voluntary. So how is water intake regulated by the body? Consider someone who is experiencing dehydration, a net loss of water that results in insufficient water in blood and other tissues. The water that leaves the body, as exhaled air, sweat, or urine, is ultimately extracted from blood plasma. As the blood becomes more concentrated, the thirst response—a sequence of physiological processes—is triggered. Osmoreceptors are sensory receptors in the thirst center in the hypothalamus that monitor the concentration of solutes (osmolality) of the blood. If blood osmolality increases above its ideal value, the hypothalamus transmits signals that result in a conscious awareness of thirst. The person should (and normally does) respond by drinking water. The hypothalamus of a dehydrated person also releases antidiuretic hormone (ADH) through the posterior pituitary gland. ADH signals the kidneys to recover water from urine, effectively diluting the blood plasma. To conserve water, the hypothalamus of a dehydrated person also sends signals via the sympathetic nervous system to the salivary glands in the mouth. The signals result in a decrease in watery, serous output (and an increase in stickier, thicker mucus output). These changes in secretions result in a "dry mouth" and the sensation of thirst.
Decreased blood volume resulting from water loss has two additional effects. First, baroreceptors, blood-pressure receptors in the arch of the aorta and the carotid arteries in the neck, detect a decrease in blood pressure that results from decreased blood volume. The heart is ultimately signaled to increase its rate and/or strength of contractions to compensate for the lowered blood pressure.
Second, the kidneys have a renin-angiotensin hormonal system that increases the production of the active form of the hormone angiotensin II, which helps stimulate thirst, but also stimulates the release of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands. Aldosterone increases the reabsorption of sodium in the distal tubules of the nephrons in the kidneys, and water follows this reabsorbed sodium back into the blood.
If adequate fluids are not consumed, dehydration results and a person's body contains too little water to function correctly. A person who repeatedly vomits or who has diarrhea may become dehydrated, and infants, because their body mass is so low, can become dangerously dehydrated very quickly. Endurance athletes such as distance runners often become dehydrated during long races. Dehydration can be a medical emergency, and a dehydrated person may lose consciousness, become comatose, or die, if his or her body is not rehydrated quickly.

Choose this magnetic aerial if you prefer a roof-mounted option to the standard Highway aerial. Recommended for use in areas with marginal digital radio reception.
"When we first heard about an external aerial for the Pure Highway, we were dead excited. Why? Because we'd tried an in-car DAB receiver before, with a mounted external aerial installed. The result was rock-solid reception, even in fringe areas. The theory behind it is simple: you get 360° unobstructed reception from the network of DAB transmitters.
So we couldn't wait to test this add-on for the Highway: it was potentially a great investment if it meant the end of bubbling and screeching in areas of relatively low signal strength.
The installation of the aerial was pretty much a doddle. The aerial slipped through to the outside of the car via the passenger door. The aerial itself was mounted with the help of a strong magnet, which clutched firmly onto the roof of the car. The passenger door was then slammed shut without a problem.
Let's now discuss the performance in our tests. One word: Wow! Indeed, the robustness of the signal that we'd anticipated proved not to be a disappointment. Areas where we'd normally found the window sticker-mount aerial to struggle to pull in a good enough quality signal, we'd get at least 50% signal strength. To summarise, we'd gained an impressive improvement."

Multilevel factor analysis models are widely used in the social sciences to account for heterogeneity in mean structures. In this paper we extend previous work on multilevel models to account for general forms of heterogeneity in confirmatory factor analysis models. We specify various models of mean and covariance heterogeneity in confirmatory factor analysis and develop Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedures to perform Bayesian inference, model checking, and model comparison.
We test our methodology using synthetic data and data from a consumption emotion study. The results from synthetic data show that our Bayesian model perform well in recovering the true parameters and selecting the appropriate model. More importantly, the results clearly illustrate the consequences of ignoring heterogeneity. Specifically, we find that ignoring heterogeneity can lead to sign reversals of the factor covariances, inflation of factor variances and underappreciation of uncertainty in parameter estimates. The results from the emotion study show that subjects vary both in means and covariances. Thus traditional psychometric methods cannot fully capture the heterogeneity in our data.

developed from over 35 years of external peer review and is embedded into the Qtrigger application for use as well as the ability to customize the application for user-specific triggers. In this new era of electronic records, it is simply impractical and illogical for healthcare organizations to rely upon labor intensive, manual medical record abstraction techniques of the past to implement an OPPE trigger process.
Electronic Proctoring for Credentialing Electronically Using Performance & Outcomes Metrics (v1.5)
"Proctoring" is the required process to evaluate the current clinical competence of practitioners to perform specific patient interventions or treat certain conditions. In American hospitals, proctoring is required of all physicians new to a hospital or on the medical staff and applying to perform a new clinical "privilege" by the Joint Commission Standards for Focused Professional Practice Evaluation (FPPE). Proctoring under FPPE is required in three (3) circumstances:
- New privileges – when the organization has no direct knowledge of a practitioner's competence for a specific privilege (a) either at initial appointment to the medical staff and the practitioner is requesting clinical care privileges for the first time, or (b) when existing practitioners on the medical staff request a new privilege.
- Clinical care concerns – when Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) data demonstrates clinical concerns regarding a practitioner's competency, the medical staff process reverts to FPPE to conduct a focused review, previously known as "peer review" to proctor current clinical competence.
- Threshold reappointment criteria not met when an adequate volume of cases is not available to assess current competence.
QualOptima v1.5 is the Qproctoring application to electronically capture clinical data from existing databases, primarily the electronic medical record, and impose performance and outcomes metrics to evaluate current clinical competence. Q relies upon clinical performance measure sets from authoritative medical specialty organizations, supplemented by QualPRO panels of clinical experts and in collaboration with medical device companies for metrics. In the future, Qproctoring will also become an educational tool as well as performance and outcomes measurement tor the ultimate product potential.
Beyond Compliance – QualOptima (v2.0)
Early adopters of Q's QualOptima Connectivity & Analytics Systems will discover that the database derived from the compliance applications provide ultimate enterprise management for their organization. After 35+ years of measuring clinical performance and outcomes in external peer review engagements, Q is uniquely positioned to market the QualOptima product to meet the needs of all constituents in the organization to achieve clinical, financial and operational efficiencies and outcomes.
Q's first-to-market clinical intelligence software is the complete solution for healthcare providers, payers, employers, and insurance companies seeking to achieve optimal clinical, financial and operational outcomes. QualOptima empowers value-driven, patient-centered, personalized care focused on real-time and predictive patient management and patient safety, with optimal quality demonstrated by outcomes correlated with resource use and cost.

Fishing can cause harm and distress to fish during the catching and handling process. Fishing can cause physical injuries, stress, and even death to fish.
You should read: Does Fly Fishing Hurt Fish? (7 more Questions Answered!)
Fishing, a popular recreational activity enjoyed by millions worldwide, involves the catching and handling of fish. However, it is important to consider the impact that fishing has on the well-being of fish.
While some argue that fishing is a sustainable practice with minimal harm to fish populations, others believe that it can cause significant harm and distress to the aquatic creatures.
This contentious issue raises several questions: does fishing hurt fish? What are the potential consequences of this activity on fish populations?
In this article, I will explore the impact of fishing on fish and delve into the various factors that influence their survival.
Table of Contents
How Bad Does Fishing Hurt The Fish?
Fishing can harm fish both physically and mentally, causing them pain when they are hooked and suffocating when removed from water.
It can also negatively impact the environment through overfishing and habitat destruction. To lessen this harm, use barbless hooks, practice catch-and-release methods, and maintain proper water conditions when fishing.
While fishing may seem like a harmless sport, there is some debate about the impact it has on fish.
While fishing does have some impact on fish, responsible angling practices can significantly minimize harm and contribute to sustainable fishing.
By practicing catch and release methods, using proper handling techniques, and supporting conservation efforts, anglers can enjoy their sport while minimizing their impact on fish populations and aquatic ecosystems.
Catch And Release Method:
- Fish that are caught and returned to the water may experience some level of stress, but the overall impact is generally minimal.
- The catch and release method allows fish to be released back into their natural habitat, giving them a chance to survive and reproduce.
- Proper handling techniques, such as wetting hands before touching the fish and using barbless hooks, can reduce injury and increase the fish's chances of survival.

Injuries And Mortality:
- Despite efforts to minimize harm, fishing can still cause injuries and mortality to fish, especially if not done responsibly.
- Fish may suffer from hook injuries, internal damage, or exhaustion due to prolonged fights.
- Studies suggest that the mortality rate varies depending on factors such as hook type, angler experience, and handling practices.
- Overfishing and unsustainable fishing practices can have a substantial impact on fish populations and marine ecosystems.
- Habitat destruction, bycatch (unintentional capture of non-target species), and the depletion of food sources can disrupt the delicate balance of aquatic ecosystems.
- Responsible fishing practices, such as adhering to fishing regulations and supporting sustainable fisheries, are essential to minimize the environmental impact of fishing.
Considerations For Ethical Angling:
- Anglers should prioritize ethical angling practices, respecting fish as living creatures and being mindful of their well-being.
- Applying proper techniques and equipment can help reduce harm and stress to fish during the fishing process.
- Understanding and following local fishing regulations and conservation guidelines is crucial to preserve fish populations and their habitats.
Do Fish Heal After Being Hooked?
Yes, most fish, especially 'Bony Fish,' can heal from hook wounds. Healing depends on the injury's severity and location.
You may also like to know: Do fish feel pain when they get hooked? Like humans do?
Careful hook removal is crucial to avoid additional damage. Despite their ability to heal, the stress and potential injuries from catch and release can negatively impact fish. Using barbless hooks and proper catch-and-release techniques can minimize harm.
Healing Process Of Fish:
Fish possess the ability to heal from injuries, including those caused by hooks. While the process varies depending on the severity of the injury and the species of fish, here are some key points to consider:
Is Fishing Considered Cruel?
Whether fishing is considered cruel is subject to varying perspectives.
On the other hand, viewpoints like those from Go Fishing Outdoors suggest that while there is a level of harm inflicted, the degree of cruelty can depend on the method of fishing.
Ultimately, the debate revolves around individual values and beliefs concerning fish sentience, ecological impacts, and the ethics of sport or commercial fishing.
Fishing is a complex topic, and opinions on its cruelty can vary greatly. Here are some key points to consider:
- Different perspectives: The perception of fishing depends on individual values and beliefs. Some people argue that catching and taking fish from their natural habitat is inherently cruel, while others maintain that fishing is a natural part of the food chain and can be done responsibly.
- Methods of fishing: The cruelty of fishing can also depend on the methods used. Certain techniques, such as catch-and-release fishing, aim to minimize harm to the fish by quickly returning them to the water unharmed. On the other hand, some methods, like certain commercial fishing practices, can cause significant harm and stress to fish populations.
- Impact on fish: While fish are undoubtedly affected by the act of being caught, the degree of harm can vary. Fish have a different nervous system than mammals, making it difficult to determine the extent of pain they may experience. Research suggests that fish can feel stress and pain due to the presence of certain neurotransmitters, but the intensity and perception of this pain are still debated among scientists.
- Fishing regulations: Fishing regulations and guidelines are put in place by governing bodies to protect fish populations and promote sustainability. These regulations aim to establish limits on the number and size of fish that can be caught, as well as dictate certain fishing practices. Adhering to these guidelines is crucial in minimizing the potential harm caused by fishing.
- Individual responsibility: Ultimately, the ethical responsibility lies with the fisherman. Educating oneself about sustainable fishing practices, understanding local regulations, and taking steps to minimize harm to the fish can help ensure responsible angling.
While it is impossible to provide a definitive answer to whether fishing is considered cruel, an awareness of the potential impacts and responsible fishing practices can make a significant difference. Reflecting on our individual values and striking a balance between our love for the activity and the well-being of the fish is essential when engaging in this popular pastime.
Do Fish Remember Being Caught?
Yes, research indicates that fish can remember being caught. Some studies show that certain species can recall the event even up to 11 months later, leading them to avoid similar circumstances.
Their memory duration can vary from a few days to years, and is often linked to their associative abilities. This can influence their responses to certain lures or fishing techniques.
However, it's important to remember that fish's memories tend to be relatively short-term and the capacity can differ among species.
Fish may not have the same memory capacity as humans, but they do possess the ability to remember certain events and learn from them.
Here are some key points to consider:
While fish do have memory capabilities, the extent to which they remember being caught is still a subject of scientific exploration. It is important to consider the potential impact of fishing on fish and employ responsible fishing practices to minimize any potential harm.
What Is The Most Humane Way Of Fishing?
The most humane way of fishing depends on the intent of the activity. If it's catch and release, it's advisable to use barbless hooks, proper tackle and minimize the time the fish is out of water.
For fishing aimed at eating, humane killing involves stunning the fish, through methods such as percussive stunning or spiking, before bleeding it out. Techniques like a strong bonk to the head or ikejime are also humane methods of killing fish. In dire situations, clove oil can be used for euthanizing fish.
Catch And Release:
- Catch and release is a fishing practice that involves catching a fish and then releasing it back into the water.
- This method aims to minimize harm to fish by allowing them to return to their natural habitat unharmed.
- It is important to handle the fish with care and use proper techniques to ensure their survival after release.
- Using barbless hooks can significantly reduce the harm caused to fish during fishing activities.
- Barbless hooks are easier to remove from a fish's mouth, reducing the risk of injury and stress.
- This practice is considered more humane as it allows for a quicker and less traumatic release of the fish.
- Proper fish handling techniques can play a crucial role in minimizing harm to fish.
- It is important to wet your hands before handling the fish to protect their slimy coating.
- Avoid squeezing or applying excessive pressure to the fish, as this can cause internal injuries.
Single Hook Vs. Treble Hook:
- Using a single hook instead of a treble hook can also reduce the harm caused to fish.
- Treble hooks have multiple points, making them more likely to cause extensive damage.
- Using a single hook decreases the chances of deep hooking and allows for easier removal.
Time Spent Out Of Water:
- The time a fish spends out of water can have a significant impact on its survival.
- It is essential to minimize the time a fish is exposed to air by keeping it in the water as much as possible.
- Taking quick photos or measurements is fine, but prolonged exposure to air should be avoided.
Fishing can potentially harm fish, but there are ways to minimize the impact and practice more humane fishing methods. Catch and release, using barbless hooks, proper handling techniques, opting for single hooks, and minimizing the time spent out of water can all contribute to the well-being and survival of fish.
By implementing these practices, anglers can enjoy their fishing experience while prioritizing the welfare of

Damn. I've tried that when Ramones told me but still not working. I've checked the capx of Nimtrix and the only difference is how the objects are created (instead of "on start o flayout" is a variable comparison).
I'll ceck it out later but I see the calling is not the problem.
Antylope I see the problem now. When you destroy an object it's not actually destroyed until the end of the event block. So you're picking the old object instances before they're destroyed.

Lighting Designer: Fixture Targeting
A light fixture is frequently focused on a subject, whether that's a person, or an object. Just as frequently, the fixture or the subject has to move, meaning that the fixture is no longer focused correctly. Also, users needed to know which fixtures are focused on which subjects at a glance, and whether other objects on the plot will be affected by a light's beam.
At this point, it's just me with Lighting Designer. I'm the designer and developer, and also the beta tester.
This is actually a feature that doesn't exist in many plotting apps. Most take a "drafting" approach, in which fixtures are placed and rotated, but don't interact much with what's around them. One of the cornerstones of the Lighting Designer UX is that the plot is not a flat, static document; it's a living thing that should encourage interaction and flexibility.
Typically, plots get crowded, especially for studio settings. It's hundreds of light fixtures all nestled together, each threading the needle to illuminate what it's supposed to. So the user's most difficult task is knowing which fixtures are focused on which subjects. Also, a subject can have 30 lights focused on them; so if they move, all of those fixtures are now unfocused. Users needed a way to make those adjustments automatically. They also want to know how these movements affect the light hitting the subject.
The solution was a function called targeting. A light fixture's aim is controlled by dragging a crosshairs around the plot, and if the crosshairs are released on another plot object, the selected fixture is now targeting that object. If the fixture is moved, it automatically adjusts its rotation to point at its target; if the target moves, the targeting fixture rotates to follow it.
The other part of the solution was exposure calculation. This has been a big request from users for a long time, and this was absolutely the time to do it. Our third-party database partner supplied candela and beam angle values for its fixtures, and I built a table so users could enter their own values, or calculate them from light meter readings. Using that data, I could display the fixture's beam on the plot, and also determine its brightness when it hits its target subject.
Candela is the unit for the amount of light emitted in one direction, so to find the brightness on the subject I convert that to foot-candles, which is a measurement of the amount of light hitting an object:
To convert foot-candles to lux (which is a common European unit of brightness), I simply multiply the foot-candles by the constant 10.76391, because foot-candles and lux are just like feet and meters; two ways of measuring the same thing. If I wanted to calculate brightness in terms of f-stop, for a camera, I would use the formula:
F-stop is actually the denominator of a fraction; when 1 is the numerator, that ratio represents the focal length of the lens (e.g. 50mm) to the diameter of the lens aperture. (This is why a smaller f-stop actually means a wider aperture.) Although this mathematical f-stop can be expressed as a floating-decimal value, in practice it's usually assigned as a standard f-stop number and an adjustment of 0.1 to 0.9, as displayed on a light meter. The time and ISO values may also be adjusted to achieve certain effects, and the user can get a sense of what they'll need to light for those adjustments.
This was fairly easy to implement on the engineering side, but it still left the problem of knowing which fixtures were targeting which subjects. After some test usage, I came up with the idea of pointers: an arrow from the targeting fixture to its target. The user can decide whether it appears only when one of the objects is selected, or when the plot is rendered, or always. They can also choose to display certain identifying information about the targeting fixture, such as its purpose, distance, calculated brightness, and channel (a unique ID number that's very useful in lighting practice).
In addition, I allowed the user to set their own "mid tone," which is their ideal exposure, in foot-candles, lux, or f-stop. For instance, if they were designing for a film, they'd set their mid tone to the camera's f-stop. That way I can have the fixture's beam stop when it reaches that mid tone, giving the user a helpful hint about whether they need to dim the fixture, spot the lens, or switch it for a more powerful one. In addition, the pointer label shows how many foot-candles, lux, or f-stops over or under the mid-tone each fixture's brightness is, giving the user even more information to make informed decisions ahead of time.
What I Learned
I got a lot of compliments for these features; users loved being able to see instantly which fixtures were targeting which subjects. They also really appreciated the exposure calculation; it can never be 100% accurate because of things like dirty lenses and electrical fluctuations, but it provides excellent approximations so they can make decisions beforehand. These improvements allowed them to move more quickly on set and make their plot a living part of their workflow, rather than just a passive reference, which is a large part of the Lighting Designer brand and mission.

Interested in Fresno?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Fresno each week.
Fresno's history is built on the history of Fresno County which was named for Fresno Creek which was named for the vast number of ash trees in the area ("fresno" is Spanish for "ash tree"). Whew! But it was another creek—okay, a river—that really shaped the city's history. On Christmas Eve in 1867, the San Joaquin River flooded the city of Millerton, located in the northeast corner of Fresno County. When the flood waters receded, the citizens moved back... but they didn't forget.
In 1872, the Central Pacific Railroad added a station for its Southern Pacific line to service a large farm in Fresno County; it was called the Fresno Station and was later shortened to just Fresno. Eventually, a store was added to the farm and the station and the first seeds for a town were planted. Many Millerton residents, still remembering the flood, literally packed up and moved together to Fresno. In no time, Fresno displayed the accoutrements of a typical western town, like saloons; it also displayed the effects of a typical wild western town, with a busy sheriff, frequent fires and even its own damaging flood in 1884. Before the century was over, Fresno was incorporated as a city.


text: Superconductivity (S) and Ferromagnetism (F) are of antagonistic characters and they hardly coexist together at the macroscopic level due to the incompatible nature of their electronic states. However, in thin film heterostructures a range of complex states can arise as a result of the mutual interaction between the two order parameters. Despite the enormous interest in this area, there are very few techniques capable of measuring the spatial variation of magnetic flux density perpendicular to the plane of the film. This is of specific interest to understand the nature of magnetic interaction occurring in the close vicinity of the F/S interfaces. The use of microscopic probes like neutron and muon could be potentially useful to address this problem. Polarised neutron reflectivity (PNR) technique involves specular reflection of spin polarised neutrons from the surface of a thin film and is sensitive to the spatial change of magnetisation perpendicular to the plane of the film. In the Low energy muon spin rotation (LE-μSR) technique, the spin polarisation of muons are used to measure the distribution of internal magnetic fields at different thickness of the sample by way of tuning the implantation energy of the incoming muons. In this talk, successful use of these two techniques to understand the coupling between the two order parameters in mutilayered F/S systems will be presented.

QUESTION 112
Drag and Drop Question
You need to implement triggers to automate responses to the following events:
– SQL Server logons
– Database schema changes
– Database updates
Which trigger types should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate trigger types to the appropriate scenarios. Each trigger type may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: LOGON
Logon triggers fire stored procedures in response to a LOGON event. This event is raised when a user session is established with an instance of SQL Server.
Box 2: INSTEAD OF INSERT
An "INSTEAD of trigger" is executed instead of the original operation, and not combining with the operation. INSTEAD OF triggers override the standard actions of the triggering statement. It can be used to bypass the statement and execute a whole different statement, or just help us check and examine the data before the action is done.
Box 3: DDL
DDL statements (CREATE or ALTER primarily) issued either by a particular schema/user or by any schema/user in the database
Note:
You can write triggers that fire whenever one of the following operations occurs:
DML statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) on a particular table or view, issued by any user
DDL statements (CREATE or ALTER primarily) issued either by a particular schema/user or by any schema/user in the database
Database events, such as logon/logoff, errors, or startup/shutdown, also issued either by a particular schema/user or by any schema/user in the database

StateProvinceID
How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, select the appropriate Transact_SQL segments in the answer are.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: INDEX
Box 2: ON
Box 3: INCLUDE
INCLUDE (column [ ,… n ] ) specifies the non-key columns to be added to the leaf level of the nonclustered index. The nonclustered index can be unique or non-unique.

QUESTION 114
Hotspot Question
You are developing queries and stored procedures to support a line-of-business application.
You need to use the appropriate isolation level based on the scenario.
Which isolation levels should you implement? To answer, select the appropriate isolation level for each scenario in the answer area. Each isolation level may be used only one.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: READ UNCOMMITTED
Transactions running at the READ UNCOMMITTED level do not issue shared locks to prevent other transactions from modifying data read by the current transaction. READ UNCOMMITTED transactions are also not blocked by exclusive locks that would prevent the current transaction from reading rows that have been modified but not committed by other transactions. When this option is set, it is possible to read uncommitted modifications, which are called dirty reads. Values in the data can be changed and rows can appear or disappear in the data set before the end of the transaction.
Box 2: READ COMMITTED
READ COMMITTED specifies that statements cannot read data that has been modified but not committed by other transactions.
SERIALIZABLE specifies that statements cannot read data that has been modified but not yet committed by other transactions.
Box 3: REPEATABLE READ
REPEATABLE READ specifies that statements cannot read data that has been modified but not yet committed by other transactions and that no other transactions can modify data that has been read by the current transaction until the current transaction completes.
Box 4: SNAPSHOT
If READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT is set to ON, the Database Engine uses row versioning to present each statement with a transactionally consistent snapshot of the data as it existed at the start of the statement.

My understanding that if you are addressing a bishop, the correct form is "Vladyko," while if you are referring to a bishop in the third person, the form is "Vladyka." Even if they sound the same in English, we should follow the spelling conventions. So the title of this article should be changed if the definition is to remain the same. --Fr Lev 05:42, September 19, 2014 (PDT)

Adapa, son of Ea and Sumerian king of Eridu, was regarded as the first man and sage, but was not considered immortal. Whereas Adam is claimed to have named the beasts and fowl, the Akkadian myth credits Adapa with the invention of speech. On a fishing expedition in the Persian Gulf the south wind buffeted him but the strength of his curse broke its wings. Afterwards he was summoned to heaven by Anu who was displeased by his action. Before he left Ea dressed his son in sackcloth and told him not to partake of any food that he was offered while there. Greeted by Tammuz (see Ishtar), Adapa informed the dying king that he mourned his absence from earth, a sentiment that was well received. His frank admission of guilt greatly appeased Anu who offered him the "food of life" and the "water of life," of which Adapa refused and returned to Eridu.
Another legend tells of his wrath for Ea, Adapa like Adam discovered his father's advice was intended to deny him immortality. He suffered the same consequence as Adam by learning that henceforth disease and death became the fate of humankind. A.G.H.

Origanum minutiflorum is a rare herb, endemic to the high-altitude region of the Western Taurus Mountains, where its limited growth stretches in a narrow band between the Isparta and Antalya provinces. The Taurus Mountains reach well over 3700 meters (over 12,000ft) and are rich in naturally occurring mineral deposits, such as chromium, silver, copper, iron, ignite and zinc.
This high-altitude region is also abundant in limestone, waterfalls, and underground rivers, which contribute to the pristine growing conditions that produce this rare, highly sought after Origanum.
What's the difference between Origanum vulgare, Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum and this oil, Origanum minutiflorum?
The Origanum perennial is a member of the Lamiaceae family and has well over 50 species and subspecies, ranging from the common vulgare to the endemic species of minutiflorum and hypericifolium.
Each species and subspecies of Origanum are made up of similar organic compounds that provide the plant varying degrees of powerful "anti" properties.
Origanum's highly sought-after antimicrobial properties include antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial and antiparasitic compounds, although many more "anti" properties are known to exist within the plant and have been scientifically studied.

This paper presents the results of the concentrations (μg/L) and fluxes (g/ha) of priority substances in stormwater from three watersheds with different land use patterns (namely, residential, urban dense, high urban density). Samples were collected at the outlet of these watersheds. Thirteen chemical groups were investigated corresponding to 88 individual substances before treatment. Results showed that stormwater discharges contained 55 substances, among them some metals, organotins, PAHs, PCBs, alkylphenols, pesticides, phthalates, cholorophenols and volatile organic compounds. Therefore, stormwater was highly contaminated. However, this contamination was often comparable from site to site, since no significant difference of the pollutant load was observed between the land use patterns.
