Ion-exchange in glass substrate has long been an enabling technology for optical waveguides device manufacturing.
Thus, in the last years, hybridization of ion-exchanged glass waveguides components has become a promising method
for functional integration. In that context, we propose a Integrated acousto-optic Polarization Analyzer Sensor (IPAS)
made by ion-exchange in a glass substrate. The IPAS consists in two Y-junctions that give three different outputs. The
first one is simply one output waveguides of the first Y-junction. The two other outputs are the waveguides following the
second Y-junction. A piezoelectric plate is placed over the entrance waveguide of the second Y-junction. It creates an
artificial anisotropy when it is excited electrically. For each one of the three output signals, a polarizer is inserted
between the waveguide's end and a photodetector. The IPAS is a compact hybrid realization insensitive to vibrations and
easy to realize. It is capable to determine, with adequate signal processing, the polarization state of a light beam.
Experimental results are obtained with a single buried straight waveguide made by low birefringence Ag+↔Na+ ion-exchange.
The measured polarization state is compared with a commercial polarization analyzer.

Learning Credal Sum-Product Networks
Amelie LevrayVaishak Belle.
learning tractable models for imprecise probabilities
Probabilistic representations, such as Bayesian and Markov networks, are fundamental to much of statistical machine learning. Thus, learning probabilistic representations directly from data is a deep challenge, the main computational bottleneck being inference that is intractable. Tractable learning is a powerful new paradigm that attempts to learn distributions that support efficient probabilistic querying. By leveraging local structure, representations such as sum-product networks (SPNs) can capture high tree-width models with many hidden layers, essentially a deep architecture, while still admitting a range of probabilistic queries to be computable in time polynomial in the network size. While the progress is impressive, numerous data sources are incomplete, and in the presence of missing data, structure learning methods nonetheless revert to single distributions without characterizing the loss in confidence. In recent work, credal sum-product networks, an imprecise extension of sum-product networks, were proposed to capture this robustness angle. In this work, we are interested in how such representations can be learnt and thus study how the computational machinery underlying tractable learning and inference can be generalized for imprecise probabilities.

12 Fascinating Facts About A Colorado Bird You May Have Never Seen
Colorado is home to over 500 species of birds and a lot of outstanding bird habitats, but have you ever seen this bird?
Owls of Colorado
Among all of the birds in Colorado, there are no less than 13 different species of owls including the popular great horned owl, the short-eared owl, the eastern screech owl, and the snowy owl - like the ones you see in the movie Dumb and Dumber.
One of the lesser-known Colorado owls is the burrowing owl which can be found throughout Colorado in various suitable habitats. These are small, long-legged, short-tailed, long-winged birds that stand 7 to 10 inches in height.
Birds That Live Underground
What is unusual about the burrowing owl is the fact that is that it doesn't live in trees, but usually in dry, open areas with short grasses and no trees. These birds can fly, but they actually nest in underground burrows created by prairie dogs, squirrels, or badgers. That means you might see burrowing squirrels on golf courses, cemeteries, airports, vacant lots, and pastures.
Burrowing Owls Can Be Difficult To Spot
The problem is, they can be really hard to spot if they aren't moving since they spend so much time on the ground and can often be hidden by forage. Oftentimes, the color of their feathers blends right in with the landscape. Additionally, since they often are using vacated prairie dog burrows, from a distance, they could appear to be prairie dogs instead of owls. Knowing what to look for and where to look is the key.
Colorado Parks & Wildlife says the owl habitat is slowly disappearing and burrowing owls have been negatively impacted by insecticides that kill grasshoppers, crickets, and beetles. The birds could become an endangered species in the near future.

Differences in psychotropic drug prescriptions among ethnic groups in the Netherlands
Psychotropic drug use in Europe and the USA has increased in the past 20 years. The rise in mental health-care use instigated a debate about possible differences in prevalence rates between different ethnic groups in the Netherlands, although the exact differences were unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether these minority groups were more or less likely than the native population to receive psychotropic drugs.
A descriptive population study was conducted using the Agis Health Database, containing demographic and health-care consumption data of approximately 1.5 million inhabitants of the Netherlands. Rates of prescriptions of psychotropic drugs from 2001 to 2006 and adjusted odds ratios for psychotropic drug prescriptions among native Dutch, Turkish and Moroccan ethnic groups were calculated. These data were analysed using logistic regression, after being adjusted for age, gender and socioeconomic status.
The mean year prevalence of psychotropic drug prescriptions from 2001 to 2006 was 14.0%. Except for a decrease in anxiolytic drugs, the prescriptions of psychotropic drugs increased from 2001 to 2006. These trends were the same for all of the ethnic groups considered. Among both the Moroccan and Turkish populations, there was a higher risk of antidepressant and antipsychotic drug prescriptions, and a pronounced lower risk of ADHD medication and lithium prescriptions compared to the native population. Among the Turkish population, the risk of anxiolytic drug prescriptions was greater than in the native population.
Compared to the native population in the Netherlands, first- and second-generation Turkish and Moroccan immigrants had an increased risk of antidepressant and antipsychotic drug prescriptions and a decreased risk of ADHD medication and Lithium prescriptions. Further research is needed to clarify whether patients of different ethnic backgrounds with the same symptoms receive similar diagnosis and adequate treatment.

The differences between a prawn and a shrimp
Ever wonder if there are differences between a prawn and a shrimp? I did thought that it was just the term used in different regions. Now i know.
1 comment :
 1. Shrimp vs Prawn – Some Major Differences
 source : _URL_
 Generally, Shrimp are smaller than Prawn, but in some cases prawn can be small and shrimp can be big.
 Shrimp have claws only on two pairs of legs. While Prawn have claws on three pairs of their legs.
 Shrimp's legs are shorter than Prawn's legs.
 Prawn belong to the Dendrobranchiata and Shrimp belong to the Pleocyemata suborder of the Crustacean family.
 Prawns have lamellar gills while Shrimp have branching gills.
 Shrimp's front pincers are bigger while Prawns have bigger second pincers.
 Prawn is semi-transparent, we can see its internal organs through the skin. But Shrimp are usually pigmented.
 Prawn lay their eggs while Shrimp carry their eggs during the entire breeding season.
 Prawn's body is segmented. Shrimp's body is comparatively flatter.
 Prawns have claws on three pairs of their legs, while Shrimp have claws on three pairs of their legs.
 Shrimp is rich in vitamin D while Prawn is a rich in vitamin E.
 Shrimp are most often seen in the United States or Latin Anerican countries. While Prawns are usually common in Asia.
 Prawns have a stronger and more aromatic flavor and smell than Shrimp.
 Shrimps are typically harvested from salt water and Prawn from fresh water.

Sample code from this series
Quick note - I've updated this post to use the more accurate term "Document" than the less-accurate, DDD-specific term "Aggregate". In the images, it still has the older term "Aggregate", let's pretend I fixed all those images.
In the last post, I walked through the general problem of distributed transactions, and some potential ideas around coordinating activities between similar or disparate resources. In a lot of cases, I would prefer to simply wrap our actions in a transaction, but as the resources I'm trying to transact together move further apart (process-wise or network-wise), transactions between these multiple resources becomes impossible.
If I can only perform reliable transactions with a single resource at a time, whether that resource is a database or single record in Cosmos DB, I need to design my interactions so that both the business data and communications transact together. That means that my communication needs to be in the same transactional store as my business data!
In the case of Azure Cosmos DB, I need to place my communication that I both send and receive inside my document. I store incoming communication because any request to change data needs to be idempotent. I could just have some business rule "all actions must be idempotent", I can also achieve this by simply storing the incoming requests and checking to see if I've already processed this request before performing the action.
For outgoing communication, I can't interact with any other resource transactionally, so I store outgoing communication on what I can control - the document. So our final document looks like:
When I perform an operation, communication and business data either save successfully or the entire operation rolls back.
Dispatching Changes
When I find I have an operation that needs to affect more than one resource, I then use my outbox to communicate with those external resources:
I can then safely transact that single resource:
Now that I've completed the first action, I can now begin my interaction with other resources. I use a dispatcher to do so - something that's responsible for reading from a resource's outbox:
And pass them to the correct resource:
Each resource receives the incoming message, and performs 2 actions:
 - Affect the business data
 - Store the incoming message in the inbox
This entire operation is transactional:
With that resource successful, the dispatcher moves on to the next resource. However, this operation can fail:
When this happens, we move the message to an external retry queue:
At this point the dispatcher is complete - but because we still have a failed resource, we can't remove our event from the original document's outbox.
In our half-completed state, we need to re-process the outbox for our document. So our dispatcher wakes up from the Retry message and reads the messages in the original document's outbox:
The dispatcher dispatches our message again to each of the receiving resources, processing each one in turn. Our first resource has already processed this message, which it knows because it's checked its Inbox before changing the data (making it idempotent):
With that complete, the dispatcher can move on to the (previously) failing document:
And that document can now succeed. Of course, there might be a bug or something actively preventing us from succeeding - so in that case we'll need to design explicit failure strategies. For now, let's assume that our operations will eventually succeed. Once we've confirmed that we've successfully dispatched our message to all receivers, we can go back to our original document and remove the message:
This is then saved in its own individual transaction:
In each step of the way, we have to work in smaller transactional steps that can be individually retried at least once, since each operation is idempotent. By storing our communication in the same transactional boundary of our business data, we can introduce reliable resource coordination when each of our resources isn't able to participate in that transaction.
In the next post, I'll walk through some code examples of this pattern in Cosmos DB.

Ever wondered what that "3" on social media means? You know, when someone comments "3" on a post or sends it as a message? Well, you're not alone! In the world of social media, "3" has become a popular slang term that carries a specific meaning and is widely used by our generation. It's a shortcut, a secret code if you will, that we use to express agreement, approval, or even a sense of enthusiasm towards something. It's like a virtual high-five or a fist bump that we send to show our support or agreement with what someone has posted. So, in this blog, we'll dive deeper into the meaning behind "3" and explore how it has become a part of our unique online language. Get ready to decode the mystery and uncover the power of "3" in the world of social media!
What does <3 mean on social media actually?
In simple terms, when you see someone typing "3" on social media, it's a way of expressing love or affection. It's like sending a virtual heart or a symbol of adoration. You might come across comments like "I love this 3" or "You're amazing 3" on posts. The number "3" represents a sideways heart symbol, where the curves of the number resemble the rounded shape of a heart. It has become a shorthand way for people to show their fondness or appreciation for something or someone. So, the next time you see "3" on social media, know that it's a sweet gesture of affection that adds a touch of love to online interactions.
7 ways to use <3 on social media
Express Love and Affection:
Use "3" to quickly show that you love or really like something on social media. It's like giving a virtual heart or saying "I love this!"
When you see something you admire or enjoy, leave a comment with "3" to let the person know that you think their post is great. It's a simple way to give a quick compliment.
React to Cute or Heartwarming Content:
If you come across something adorable or heartwarming, respond with "3" to show that it made you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's like saying "Aww, this is so sweet!"
Support Friends' Achievements:
When your friends accomplish something important, like graduating or getting a promotion, use "3" to celebrate their success and show that you're proud of them.
Send Virtual Hugs:
If someone needs comfort or support, sending "3" can be a way to give them a virtual hug. It shows that you care and want to offer some warmth and encouragement.
If someone shares their artwork, photography, or creative projects, respond with "3" to let them know that you appreciate their talent and think they're really creative.
Using "3" in your social media interactions helps spread positivity. It's a simple and friendly way to show support, love, and appreciation for others, making the online world a happier place.
What are the variations of <3 on social media?
"❤" or Heart Emoji:
The heart emoji is a popular and widely recognized symbol for love and affection. It can be used in place of or alongside "3" to convey similar sentiments.
"Love this!" or "I love it!":
Instead of using a symbol or emoji, you can explicitly express your love by typing out the words. It adds a personal touch to your comment or response.
"So cute!" or "This is adorable!":
When you encounter something adorable or cute, you can use these phrases to show your appreciation and express affection without specifically using "3" or a heart symbol.
"You're the best!" or "You rock!":
These phrases are alternative ways to express admiration, love, and support for someone's achievements, talents, or qualities.
"Sending hugs!" or "Virtual hugs!":
If you want to offer comfort or support to someone, you can use these phrases to send virtual hugs, indicating that you care about them and want to offer reassurance.
"Amazing work!" or "Incredible job!":
When acknowledging someone's creativity or achievements, these phrases can be used to express admiration and appreciation.
Meaning of "3" on social media has evolved into a shorthand expression of love and affection. This simple digit has become a symbol of adoration, similar to a virtual heart, and is used to convey fondness, approval, and support. It adds an extra layer of warmth and emotion to online interactions, allowing us to connect and communicate in a concise yet meaningful way. Whether it's expressing love for a post, appreciating someone's creativity, or celebrating achievements, "3" has become a powerful tool to convey positive sentiments and spread virtual affection. So, the next time you come across "3" on social media, embrace its significance and join in the language of love that has become an integral part of our digital culture.

Hydraulic Cone Crusher can process a variety of materials, including some of the higher hardness of the material, it can be in a variety of broken, fine crushing, ultra-fine crushing operations to provide unparalleled crushing performance, here focuses on hydraulic cone crusher hydraulic How to check the quality of oil Check the quality of hydraulic oil, the main check the following three aspects:
1, hydraulic cone crusher oil oxidation
To determine the degree of oxidation of hydraulic oil, usually from its color, smell on the start. If the color of the hydraulic oil is dark brown and has a bad odor, it has been oxidized. The darker the brown, the stronger the stinking smell, the more the degree of oxidation is increased. At this time, the new oil should be replaced.
2, hydraulic cone crusher oil containing water levels
There are usually two methods for judging the degree of moisture mixed in hydraulic oil. First, according to the change of color and odor, if the color of the hydraulic oil is milky white and the odor does not change, it indicates that the mixed water is too much. Second, take a small amount of hydraulic oil droplets on the hot iron plate, if issued a "horn" sound, then contain water, this time, should be replaced by new oil.
3, the hydraulic oil contains impurities in the situation
Judge the hydraulic oil contains impurities, usually the following two, one, after a period of mechanical work, take a few drops of hydraulic oil on the hand, twist with your finger to see if there are metal particles, two, in the sun Under the observation of whether there is a tiny flash point. If there are more metal particles or flash points, then prove that the hydraulic oil contains more mechanical impurities, this time, the hydraulic oil should be replaced, or release the hydraulic oil, for not less than 42h precipitation time, and then filter After use.


Other Guitar & Bass Effects Pedals
Other Guitar Effects Pedals
Guitar effects pedals are mostly compatible with numerous guitar types, including bass, acoustic and electric guitars. They alter the way the instrument sounds and create a variety of special effects as well, which adds texture and richness to the way music sounds and gives any guitar even more versatility to produce a wide array of tones and effects, as well as speed up and slow down notes.
What Are Some Guitar Effects Pedal Types?
When it comes to selecting guitar pedals, there are a few distinct types to consider. A distortion pedal adds an element of grit to your guitar and distorts the sound to boost it and produce a completely different dynamic than your instruments usual sounds. Reverb pedals give off an echo sound, and a delay pedal records a specific sound, then plays it whenever you desire. It can also repeat the sound over again and tweak the way it comes across, such as creating an echoing tone. To achieve multiple types of effects in one, consider a pedalboard, which is a unit (or panel) that keeps all your multiple pedals together and organised, making them easy to see so you can use the pedal you want at the right time.
What Are Some Features of Guitar Pedals?
Not only do guitar pedals twist and distort sounds to create new and different ones, but they have other features as well. Pedals amplify and boost sound as well as control the volume of your guitars sounds. You can use pedals to modify the essential elements of your sound, including customising equalisation and other adjustments that contribute to your overall sound as you play. Multiple pedals together can create a sound thats all your own, giving your guitar a signature style.
What Are Some Guitar Pedal Brands to Consider?
As with any type of musical accessory, there are a few brands to keep in mind as you shop for guitar pedals. These brands may vary by price as well as by which perks each pedal has to offer, so consider the type of effects youre looking for as you shop for effects pedals for your bass or acoustic instrument. Some brands to look for include Behringer, Boss, Electro-Harmonix and TC Electronic. Make sure to select the pedal that corresponds to your guitar type, and pick up any extras you may need, such as cords and cables or a pedal board.

The natural environment plays an important role in Australia's economy and way of life. To manage it effectively, governments, industry and the community need comprehensive, trusted and timely environmental information to make sound environmental decisions. To support this need, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (the Bureau) is leading the National Plan for Environmental Information initiative that will deliver improved quality, coverage, usability and access to environmental information. As one element of the initiative LISAsoft has supported the Bureau in piloting parts of a National Environmental Information Infrastructure (NEII). This pilot has demonstrated the process of modelling and publication of environmental information from atmosphere, ocean, land and water domains.
There are multiple challenges involved in achieving an effective infrastructure. First, the source data, which is continuously updated by multiple agencies, needs to be dynamically collated into aggregated datasets to facilitate macro analysis. This requires development and agreement upon standard data formats, processes and tools which source agencies can use to publish the source data. Once aggregated, the data requires distribution and publishing in a manner that can easily be accessed and manipulated by end users. This requires a robust and reliable publishing infrastructure, built upon standard interfaces, which can be used easily and efficiently by existing or provided tools. Furthermore, the infrastructure developed needs to be both feasible and sustainable. As such, the Bureau has selected a distributed design, based upon OGC standards based services and formats.
This early NEII pilot has focused on the development of standard information models, and a reference implementation of a source data node. LISAsoft has helped the Bureau by:
- Consulting on and documenting the NEII architecture design.
- Defining some of the information models required.
- Developing pilot implementations of an NEII node. The NEII node publishes data via a Web Feature Service (WFS) interface using the GeoServer spatial data server. GeoServer has been the target of recent CSIRO development efforts to create a service capable of supporting the complexity of data models required for projects such as NEII.
- Configuring a web based catalogue which can be used to find datasets. This is based upon the Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW) interface, and implemented using the Open Source GeoNetwork application.
- Testing of the conformance of the services within the pilot.
- Domain Modelling during international, OGC standards development testbeds
- Co-authoring a Domain Modelling Cookbook with CSIRO
- Testing conformance of Web Feature Services in both Australian Spatial Data Infrastructures as well as in OGC testbeds.
- Deploying, configuring and optimising GeoServer for multiple projects.

These are methods which you can register pre-call and post-call external functions to augment their functionality. People familiar with more esoteric languages may think of these as "method combinations".
This could be used to add optional preconditions, user-extensible callbacks (a-la emacs) or a thread-safety mechanism.
The four exported calls are:
All have the signature (class, methodName, callable), and the callable they take must always have the signature (instance, *args, **kw) unless the particular signature of the method they hook is known.
Hooks should typically not throw exceptions, however, no effort will be made by this module to prevent them from doing so. Pre-hooks will always be called, but post-hooks will only be called if the pre-hooks do not raise any exceptions (they will still be called if the main method raises an exception). The return values and exception status of the main method will be propogated (assuming none of the hooks raise an exception). Hooks will be executed in the order in which they are added.
|Class||HookError||An error which will fire when an invariant is violated.|
|Function||addPre||hook.addPre(klass, name, func) -> None|
|Function||addPost||hook.addPost(klass, name, func) -> None|
|Function||removePre||hook.removePre(klass, name, func) -> None|

UBC Theses and Dissertations
Application of life-cycle approaches for the evaluation of high performance buildings Storey, Stefan
The market shift towards high performance buildings is posing a major challenge to decision- makers, designers and developers. They need to know what constitutes high performance design and practice, what the environmental consequences of decisions are, and how buildings are performing relative to anchored benchmarks. This doctoral dissertation provides building designers and operators methods on how to use life-cycle approaches to inform design and track performance. The research focuses on a case-study of the lifecycle impacts of advanced buildings at UBC, built to various standards of performance including the current best-practices (LEED standards) and the currently emerging 'regenerative' standard. Life-cycle approaches are used to explore simulated impact over time in terms of quantified financial and environmental metrics. The research novelty is in the integration of life-cycle models; the aggregation of compatible separate studies to provide a larger overview of building performance. Additionally, the analysis leverages the benchmarking capabilities of the UBC Life-cycle Analysis database - a high-resolution survey of 30 UBC buildings – to show that the contribution of rapid churn building products, such as information technology, contributes a disproportionally high amount to embodied impacts. The study also analyses operational impacts based on utility consumption data for 70 conventional buildings versus 10 best practices (LEED Gold) buildings at UBC with respect to building age and building type. The results show that, in contrast to previous studies, older buildings often outperform new buildings. The dissertation concludes that benchmarking and multi-stakeholder modeling life-cycle approaches are critical for informing expert opinion during decision-making. Attention to modeling construction, and ensuring broad participation is key to 'useful' modeling. The process of creating a life-cycle model is often more informative than modeled final results; collective understanding and communication – the basis of good decision-making – improve through participation and stakeholder interaction.

How to take care of your crane
Maintaining your crane is well worth the effort. Here are three ways to enhance the safety and efficiency of your overhead crane for years to come:
By Claudio Urdampilleta, Technical Trainer, Konecranes Training Institute
1. Implement a customized maintenance plan
First and foremost, companies should employ a maintenance plan that meets their unique needs and circumstances. At Konecranes, our approach to maintenance is Lifecycle Care. This is a systematic, consistent, comprehensive and professional approach to crane maintenance that aims to provide the Highest Lifecycle Value for the customer.
2. Invest in upgrades
Equipping your crane with the latest technology helps it run more smoothly, endure stress and last longer. For example, Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) technology enables programming and control of electric motors via electronic displays. VFD not only improves operator safety, maximizes crane reliability and saves energy costs, but it also drastically minimizes mechanical stress on components.
If your crane consistently suffers from wear and tear, it may be time to implement upgrades. Konecranes expert engineers are well equipped to help customers decide which modernizations are best suited to their needs.
3. Emphasize training
Crane inspectors, maintenance personnel and operators can work safely once they've developed knowledge and expertise. Because of this, comprehensive employee training is an essential component of any crane care plan.
Inspectors and maintenance personnel should be educated on full the range of equipment they're using and have a firm grasp of the inspection process. Crane operators should also master principles of proper safety crane usage, because misuse commonly causes equipment damage and preventable accidents.

A formal model for analysis and control of human-involved computer integrated manufacuring systems
Abstract (Summary)iii Two separate and very distinct approaches to research related to factory control have been pursued – automatic control and man-machine interactions. In spite of the significant work conducted in both areas, very limited crosscutting research has been conducted in this important integration area. It is still true that human integration into highly automated manufacturing environs can be cumbersome and result in system anomalies (crashes and illogical transitions). Research in this critical integration area has likely been limited due to the nature and tools used in these two areas. The focus of the proposed research is to develop formal models and controllers that utilize previous work in both of these critical areas in order to create a comprehensive framework for controller modeling and development containing both automatic and human components. The proposal offers a vision of how a human can fit within a computer-control framework so that the system can take full advantage of tasks and activities that humans do well, and those that computers perform more effectively. The specific classes of human activities addressed herein include: 1) dynamic decision making and 2) physical material handling. The environment that is modeled is one that contains CNC machines, robots, automatic storage systems, and humans. To address the central issue of the proposed work, an automata-based system control model is used to control flexible automated equipment on the shop-floor. Hooks for integrating the human into the controller are modeled by creating a descriptive model using finite state methods where a set of possible human activities is developed. An operator function model characterizing the behavior of human in the various shop-floor iv roles is developed so that a logical partition of activities can be created. Transition methods and software tools that allow the human and computer system to interact seamlessly are developed for a general class of automata and operator function models. It is critical to identify how parts are handled in a system so that a system controller for the human-automation cooperative system can consider possible situations caused by a human operator. For this reason, the impact of human activities on the control complexity from a part states' view is addressed. The number of possible part flows at a certain state is used to measure the control complexity. Finally, a structure specification of a human-automation interaction and a formal approach to describe the operational features of the structure are presented from a control-theoretic perspective.

Levels of 7.8, 18.5 and 26 mole % deuterium oxide were administered sequentially to Coturnix japonica (Japanese quail) via the drinking water. The primary effect observed was on egg frequency, which decreased from a normal level of 0.89 for 7.8 mole % D2O to a low of 0.38 during the administration of 26 mole % D2O. Adverse symptoms, such as hyperexcitability, convulsions, skin ulcerations, comatosity, weight loss, or death, which have been associated with deuterium toxicity in other animals, were not observed in these experiments. The amount of deuterium deposited in the water of the egg was 6.9, 13.98, and 19.83 mole % when 7.8, 18.5 and 26 mole % deuterium respectively was administered. For each period, the deuterium content of egg water rapidly reached a maximum concentration after which the concentration decreased slightly. This dilution effect has not been noted previously in body fluids from other animals.

A gold nanoparticle-coated screen-printed carbon electrode was used as the transducer in the development of an electrochemical immunosensor for Ara h 1 (a major peanut allergen) detection in food samples. Gold nanoparticles (average diameter=32 nm) were electrochemically generated on the surface of screen-printed carbon electrodes. Two monoclonal antibodies were used in a sandwich-type immunoassay and the antibody–antigen interaction was electrochemically detected through stripping analysis of enzymatically (using alkaline phosphatase) deposited silver. The total time of the optimized immunoassay was 3 h 50 min. The developed immunosensor allowed the quantification of Ara h 1 between 12.6 and 2000 ng/ml, with a limit of detection of 3.8 ng/ml, and provided precise (RSD <8.7%) and accurate (recovery >96.6%) results. The immunosensor was successfully applied to the analysis of complex food matrices (cookies and chocolate), being able to detect Ara h 1 in samples containing 0.1% of peanut

During the years that Winifred operated her 'Cintra'
dress making business in London she became friends with one of her
customers whose name was Miss Christina Knowles. In 1920 Christina had
bought Spilsill Court, a beautiful house near Staplehurst in Kent, which
was originally built in 1286 for the de Speldselle family. The house had
been much altered over the years and she continued the improvements.
Christina was responsible for, amongst other things, re-organising the
gardens in contemporary Elizabethan style. Pleached alleys of hornbeam,
shrubberies, a rock garden and a knot garden in the shape of the fleur
de lys were laid out. She also built a shrine in remembrance of her
mother, which still stands, in the garden. In order to give employment
to the men of Staplehurst during the depression Christina converted
the flax mill/tythe barn into a theatre which is still in use today and
wonderfully preserved. This is much how Winifred Fortescue would have
found Spilsill during her visits to stay with Christina Knowles.
In 1932 her husband
John Fortescue's health been a major problem having
suffered what was almost certainly a stroke. Although he recovered he was
very fragile. After six months recovery he succumbed to a chill and
pneumonia. Once again he recovered and his health improved. Escaping the
intense heat in the south of France in the summer of 1933, a visit to
friends and relatives in England provided a welcome boost. For the
duration of the visit they stayed with Christina Knowles at Spilsill.
The picture below was taken during this stay and they are pictured
standing in the porch. The exact date it was taken is unknown but it is
September 1933. It is possibly the last picture taken of Sir John.
Perhaps they had stepped outside for Winifred to enjoy the cigarette
which is in her right hand?
The couple left Spilsill to return to Provence
towards the end of September and enjoyed five days in the warm sunshine
of the south of France as the grapes ripened. On the sixth day John was
taken ill and after a series of misdiagnoses by several doctors
taken to Sunny Bank Hospital in Cannes with severe abdominal pains. His
usual doctor was away at the time. He died from peritonitis at the
hospital on September 22nd 1933 after an operation for appendicitis
performed too late.

Serious Simulations, LLC, a provider of human motion based, mixed reality (MR) and virtual reality (VR) training systems, has launched a wireless VR processor aimed at improving wireless VR display performance for high resolution screens.
The patent pending wireless VR processor features a two-step process, that manipulates simulation/game video streams in the GPU by conducting pre-wireless transmission image processing. The wireless transmissions are sent in landscape mode only, so upon reception by the headsets receiver, the Serious Simulations specially designed "reformatter" device re-organizes the pixels on-the-fly for delivery directly to the display screens. The process works for all high resolution displays such as the LCD, LED, OLED, and AMOLED screens claims the company.
"While designing our wireless head/helmet mounted displays using high resolution small format cell phone/tablet displays, we found it necessary to innovate a new approach to overcome the significant processing delays that existed between wireless transmitters that are natively landscape devices, and cell phone displays that are natively portrait devices," said Christopher Chambers, Co-Founder and CEO of Serious Simulations in a statement.
Serious Simulations claim the speed of the device is such that it takes less than 20 micro-seconds to deliver the first pixel of the wireless image from the GPU to the screen, and actually gains speed during the process.
"This method is so fast it is literally a zero-frame latency procedure, and is essentially a zero-time latency procedure. Eliminating big chunks of latency greatly improves the VR experience, enhances the suspension of disbelief for better training or entertainment, and greatly reduces the chances of trainee or player discomfort. Our goal is to advance the notion that high resolution wireless VR displays can and should be as efficient as wired VR displays. It really is time to untether the VR user community," adds Chambers.
VRFocus will continue to follow Serious Simulations latest VR developments as they're announced.

BA applied at 100 mg·liter–1 increased the rate of cell layer formation in the fruit cortex, indicating that BA stimulated cortical cell division. The maximum rate of cell division occurred 10 to 14 days after full bloom (DAFB) when fruit relative growth rate and density reached a maximum and percent dry weight reached a minimum. Cell size in BA-treated fruit was similar to the control. Cell division ended by 35 DAFB in the control and BA-treated fruit when percent dry weight and dry weight began to increase rapidly and fruit density changed from a rapid to a slower rate of decreased density. These data support the hypothesis that BA-induced fruit size increases in 'Empire' apple result largely from greater numbers of cells in the fruit cortex, whereas the fruit size increase due to NAA or CB is a consequence of larger cell size.

TestSetup is a JUnit class you can use if you want to introduce initialization in your JUnit tests that only get invoked once, and not once before test method, which is what JUnit does (making it difficult to make sure that an initialization method is only invoked once during the lifetime of the class). I wrote more about this oddity not long ago.
A recent weblog entry about TestSetup shows how to use it, which is pretty straightforward. I still have a big problem with this solution, and what JUnit forces you to do to work around this "design choice": it forces you to introduce static methods in your code.
I don't have anything against static methods in general, I tend to use them as much as possible whenever they don't need access to any non-static fields since it decreases the coupling between my classes. However, static methods are particularly evil when they modify state, and by extension, force you to declare static fields.
Which is exactly the only choice that JUnit leaves you.
The problem with non-const static methods is that they break badly in several cases:
 - Multi-thread access.
 - Different objects thinking they are accessing private content, while it is actually shared.
 - Reuse of the same JVM.
This last point is particularly important. By forcing you to introduce static methods in your code, JUnit guarantees that if somebody ever invokes your class several times from an ant task while not providing the flag fork="yes", your code will break in mysterious ways.
Classes in object-oriented programming obey very simple rules:
 - If you invoke your initialization from the constructor, it will only be invoked once.
 - If your content is not static, it is guaranteed to be private to your instance.
JUnit violates these two principles and I just can't get used to it. Instead of righting a wrong with another wrong, why not return to the most intuitive way of doing this and letting test writers implement methods that are guaranteed to be invoked once?
Of course, these is also an alternative. :-)

For some orders you can make a DNS entry to complete domain control validation. If the order is not validating the following steps can help identify the issue.Check if the domain is using a CNAME
If the domain you are trying to validate is using a CNAME (other than the validation CNAME) then DNS validation can not be complete. This could be the base domain, the www record or any sub-domain included within the certificate. You can either remove the CNAME or amend it to an A record until the validation is completed.Check the DNS record is live
You can verify the DNS record is live using _URL_
and selecting DNS Lookup. Enter the domain record and Choose TXT for record type if validation a RapidSSL, Geotrust, Thawte or Symantec order or CNAME for Comodo orders.Check the record is on the correct sub-domain
The DNS record should always be placed on the base domain not any sub-domain records.Check the record has not expired
The string provided to add to DNS is only valid for 7 days. If the DNS string was added 7 days after it was generated or the validation has not completed after 7 days then the string will have expired and a new one will need to be generated. At this time you will need to cancel the order and restart a new order to achieve this.

How can I taken into account the rectangular shape of the screen to ensure that circles are drawn exactly to the padded boundary?
The following works for a 'round' area, but not a rectangular one...
dx = abs(center.x - place.x);
dy = abs(center.y - place.y);
dh = Math.sqrt((dx * dx) + (dy * dy));
radius = dh - padding;

I think this should work. Not tested.
dx = abs(placeLocationPixels.x - ourLocationPixels.x)
dy = abs(placeLocationPixels.y - ourLocationPixels.y)
ox = dx - ((screenSize.x / 2) - padding);
oy = dy - ((screenSize.y / 2) - padding);
if (ox < 0) ox = 0;
if (oy < 0) oy = 0;
radius = sqrt((ox*ox) + (oy*oy));
edit: this is not in any particular language.

I'm not sure but maybe you can calculate the convex hull, and then circumscribe it into a rectangle, then you will have the scale of your map to ensure that every circle is shown on the screen.

Winter is coming: Farmers' Almanac predicts cold and snowy Maritime winter
The Canadian Farmers Almanac is predicting at least 5 major storms for the Atlantic Region
The warmer fall days in Atlantic Canada will soon be replaced by winter, and the Canadian Farmers' Almanac said it's going to be colder and snowier than normal this year.
The 2018 edition of the Almanac is predicting colder temperatures — about one to two degrees below normal — and above-normal precipitation in many parts of the Maritimes.
Peter Geiger, editor of the Canadian Farmers' Almanac, said he doesn't expect too much snow until about January, but it could appear as early as November.
Geiger said Atlantic Canadians should expect one storm in January, two storms in February and two in March.
Those storms are predicted to hit:
- Jan. 20 to 23
- Feb. 4 to 7
- Feb. 16 to 19
- March 1 to 3
- March 20 to 23
"It'll be a substantial winter, at least according to the Farmers' Almanac," Geiger said in an interview with Information Morning Fredericton.
"There is at least one storm on [February] 4th to the 7th where we talk about 30 to 60 centimetres and, as you know, the amounts of snow can vary by small geographies," he said.
Geiger said there are no more specific amounts of snow because they work in general terms. The Almanac predicts the weather two years in advance.
The history of the Farmers' Almanac
The tradition of predicting the weather has gone on since 1818, but the Farmers' Almanac has become more than just a forecast tool. It also includes household remedies and advice for living well.
Geiger's family has been in charge of the book since the 1930s.
The formula for predicting the weather was created by the Almanac's first editor, David Young, who was a mathematician, calculator and astronomer.
The mathematical formula looks at sunspot activity, planet positioning and the effect the moon has on the Earth.

syntax borrows from the clause opening a type switch, but with an explicit
 2194 type rather than the type keyword:
 2195

 2196
 2197

 2198 value.(typeName)
 2199

 2200
 2201

 2202 and the result is a new value with the static type typeName.
 2203 That type must either be the concrete type held by the interface, or a second interface
 2204 type that the value can be converted to.
 2205 To extract the string we know is in the value, we could write:
 2206

 2207
 2208

 2209 str := value.(string)
 2210

 2211
 2212

 2213 But if it turns out that the value does not contain a string, the program will crash with a run-time error.
 2214 To guard against that, use the "comma, ok" idiom to test, safely, whether the value is a string:
 2215

 2216
 2217

 2218 str, ok := value.(string)
 2219 if ok {
 2220 fmt.Printf("string value is: %q\n", str)
 2221 } else {
 2222 fmt.Printf("value is not a string\n")
 2223 }
 2224

 2225
 2226

 2227 If the type assertion fails, str will still exist and be of type string, but it will have
 2228 the zero value, an empty string.
 2229

 2230
 2231

 2232 As an illustration of the capability, here's an if-else
 2233 statement that's equivalent to the type switch that opened this section.
 2234

 2235
 2236

 2237 if str, ok := value.(string); ok {
 2238 return str
 2239 } else if str, ok := value.(Stringer); ok {
 2240 return str.String()
 2241 }
 2242

 2243
 2244
Generality

 2245

 2246 If a type exists only to implement an interface and will
 2247 never have exported methods beyond that interface, there is
 2248 no need to export the type itself.
 2249 Exporting just the interface makes it clear the value has no
 2250 interesting behavior beyond what is described in the
 2251 interface.
 2252 It also avoids the need to repeat the documentation
 2253 on every instance of a common method.
 2254

 2255

 2256 In such cases, the constructor should return an interface value
 2257 rather than the implementing type.
 2258 As an example, in the hash libraries
 2259 both crc32.NewIEEE and adler32.New
 2260 return the interface type hash.Hash32.
 2261 Substituting the CRC-32 algorithm for Adler-32 in a Go program
 2262 requires only changing the constructor call;
 2263 the rest of the code is unaffected by the change of algorithm.
 2264

 2265

 2266 A similar approach allows the streaming cipher algorithms
 2267 in the various crypto packages to be
 2268 separated from the block ciphers they chain together.
 2269 The Block interface
 2270 in the crypto/cipher package specifies the
 2271 behavior of a block cipher, which provides encryption
 2272 of a single block of data.
 2273 Then, by analogy with the bufio package,
 2274 cipher packages that implement this interface
 2275 can be used to construct streaming ciphers, represented
 2276 by the Stream interface, without
 2277 knowing the details of the block encryption.
 2278

 2279

 2280 The crypto/cipher interfaces look like this:
 2281

 2282

 2283 type Block interface {
 2284 BlockSize() int
 2285 Encrypt(dst, src []byte)
 2286 Decrypt(dst, src []byte)
 2287 }
 2288
 2289 type Stream interface {
 2290 XORKeyStream(dst, src []byte)
 2291 }
 2292

 2293
 2294

 2295 Here's the definition of the counter mode (CTR) stream,
 2296 which turns a block cipher into a streaming cipher; notice
 2297 that the block cipher's details are abstracted away:
 2298

 2299
 2300

 2301 // NewCTR returns a Stream that encrypts/decrypts using the given Block in
 2302 // counter mode. The length of iv must be the same as the Block's block size.
 2303 func NewCTR(block Block, iv []byte) Stream
 2304

 2305

 2306 NewCTR applies not
 2307 just to one specific encryption algorithm and data source but to any
 2308 implementation of the Block interface and any
 2309 Stream. Because they return
 2310 interface values, replacing CTR
 2311 encryption with other encryption modes is a localized change. The constructor
 2312 calls must be edited, but because the surrounding code must treat the result only
 2313 as a Stream, it won't notice the difference.
 2314

 2315
 2316
Interfaces and methods

 2317

 2318 Since almost anything can have methods attached, almost anything can
 2319 satisfy an interface. One illustrative example is in the http
 2320 package, which defines the Handler interface. Any object
 2321 that implements Handler can serve HTTP requests.
 2322

 2323

 2324 type Handler interface {
 2325 ServeHTTP(ResponseWriter, *Request)
 2326 }
 2327

 2328

 2329 ResponseWriter is itself an interface that provides access
 2330 to the methods needed to return the response to the client.
 2331 Those methods include the standard Write method, so an
 2332 http.ResponseWriter can be used wherever an io.Writer
 2333 can be used.
 2334 Request is a struct containing a parsed representation
 2335 of the request from the client.
 2336

 2337

 2338 For brevity, let's ignore POSTs and assume HTTP requests are always
 2339 GETs; that simplification does not affect the way the handlers are
 2340 set up. Here's a trivial but complete implementation of a handler to
 2341 count the number of times the
 2342 page is visited.
 2343

 2344

 2345 // Simple counter server.
 2346 type Counter struct {
 2347 n int
 2348 }
 2349
 2350 func (ctr *Counter) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
 2351 ctr.n++
 2352 fmt.Fprintf(w, "counter = %d\n", ctr.n)
 2353 }
 2354

 2355

 2356 (Keeping with our theme, note how Fprintf can print to an
 2357 http.ResponseWriter.)
 2358 For reference, here's how to attach such a server to a node on the URL tree.
 2359

 2360

 2361 import "net/http"
 2362 ...
 2363 ctr := new(Counter)
 2364 http.Handle("/counter", ctr)
 2365

 2366

 2367 But why make Counter a struct? An integer is all that's needed.
 2368 (The receiver needs to be a pointer so the increment is visible to the caller.)
 2369

 2370

 2371 // Simpler counter server.
 2372 type Counter int
 2373
 2374 func (ctr *Counter) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
 2375 *ctr++
 2376 fmt.Fprintf(w, "counter = %d\n", *ctr)
 2377 }
 2378

Efficient Checking of Individual Rewards Properties in Markov Population Models
|Title||Efficient Checking of Individual Rewards Properties in Markov Population Models|
|Publication Type||Conference Paper|
|Year of Publication||2015|
|Authors||Bortolussi L, Hillston J|
|Conference Name||Quantitative Aspects of Programming Languages and Systems (QAPL)|
|Keywords||Markov population models, Rewards, Stochastic Approximation, Stochastic model checking|
In recent years fluid approaches to the analysis of Markov populations models have been demonstrated to have great pragmatic value. Initially developed to estimate the behaviour of the system in terms of the expected values of population counts, the fluid approach has subsequently been extended to more sophisticated interrogations of models through its embedding within model checking procedures. In this paper we extend recent work on checking CSL properties of individual agents within a Markovian population model, to consider the checking of properties which incorporate rewards.

Marvel's Venom and other symbiotes like him are known for having a vast array of powers, making them and their hosts virtually unstoppable to most humans. These powers include shapeshifting, superhuman physical faculties and a myriad of other useful skills utilized by Venom and Carnage. One version of Venom, however, has a power that might influence the Venom and Spider-Man movies going forward.
The Maker has noted that the Ultimate Universe Venom symbiote has multiversal properties, a power that just showed up in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. This could affect not only the powers of the symbiotes in the comic books, but also how they affect future live-action movies. Here's a look at how the different comic book Venoms influenced the powers shown in the movies and what this means for the burgeoning cinematic Spiderverse.
Powers of the Venom Symbiote
The gooey Venom symbiote is most known for being able to contort and extend its mass in whatever way it sees fit, even without a host to bond to yet. It can mimic a humanoid frame and typically manifests eyes and a fanged face, as well as tentacles or tendrils with which to interact with its environment.
Once bonded to a host, its powers include vastly improving their strength and physical faculties to far beyond superhuman levels. This was especially the case for the burly Brock, who was already a bulky bodybuilder. They can also take on and augment other attributes of their hosts. The host and the symbiote can communicate with each other mentally, as well as draw off of each other's memories and experiences. The one major drawback is that symbiotes are weak to loud sounds, with piercing melodies causing them to leave their host in pain.
While it's mostly very similar to the 616 version, the Venom symbiote of the Ultimate Universe differed in some key ways. Instead of being an alien symbiote, it was an experiment created on Earth by Peter Parker and Eddie Brock's fathers. They created the creature with the intent of making a biological "suit" that would heal its wearer from disease and protect them from harm. Unfortunately, Richard Parker died before it could truly be perfected, and it was designed in its prototype stage to only work for his DNA.
Due to this, the suit mutates when Eddie Brock gets a hold of it, turning into the monstrous Venom. This version of Venom had to constantly feed on living tissue of others in order to counteract the fact that it was also consuming its host, who was not biologically compatible with it. Likewise, instead of sound, this symbiote has a weakness for to fire.
The suit in the Venom movies has mostly been based on the mainstream version of the symbiote, but its need to feed and its weakness to fire was taken from the Ultimate Universe. This could see the movie truly utilize one of Ultimate Venom's most overlooked powers.
Into the Venomverse
In Venom #20, The Maker — the now villainous version of the Ultimate Universe's version of Reed Richards — acquires the Venom symbiote. He mentions that it almost seems to be tailor-made to help with multiversal travel, which explains why Maker was able to do such a task so easily with the symbiote in his possession.
This does seem strange considering that the Ultimate symbiote was made on Earth and isn't an alien, but it also makes sense. Given that it's designed to heal and protect its user, the symbiote protecting them from the rigors of interdimensional travel just makes sense. This could also back up the symbiote in Venom: Let There Be Carnage stating that it has knowledge of various different worlds. The creators of the movie likely had knowledge of this recent revelation in the comics about Ultimate Venom, given that Cates and Stegman, the recent run's creators, were thanked in the credits.
As mentioned, the movie Venom symbiote has some elements of the Ultimate Venom, so interdimensional properties could be one of these powers. If this power ends up extending to all symbiotes going forward, it also opens the door to more multiversal adventures. After all, some already believe that Spider-Man's new suit in No Way Home has ties to the symbiotes, and given that movie's multiversal story, it could end up being the case. Whether or not traveling throughout the dimensions remains a power of the symbiotes in the comics or the movies, however, remains to be seen.

Excavations from surface require detailed investigation and proper design. The deeper and steeper they become, and the weaker the rock in which they are excavated, the more care is required. A large open pit mine requires just as much an understanding of the geology in which it is to be created as an underground mine. It also requires the measurement of the stresses within the rock mass as the disruption of these stresses by excavation may lead to rock breakage and the progressive development of the rock fracture system within the rock mass. Where the rock has broken cohesion ceases to exist and resistance to failure is purely frictional.
The presence of fractures enables water to operate within these which changes the state of effective stress within the rock mass. This change in effective stress is due to more than water pressure variations alone. It is additionally a function of the open fracture area within which the fluid acts. Because the fractures have direction the effect of fluid is also directional, acting normal to the joint surfaces. As fractures progressively develop the effect of water pressure within the rock mass becomes more pronounced. This may be described by an open area fraction, . Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a slope containing open joints with a nominal effective open area fraction, , of 0.6. In Figure 2 these have developed and coalesced so that the open area fraction approaches unity.
One of the objectives in developing a surface excavation is to avoid the development of fractures, but if this is unavoidable then there is a need to ensure that the water pressure within these is minimised. This might in some cases be achieved by avoiding water getting into the fracture system but is in most cases more a case of ensuring that adequate drainage is achieved to keep water pressures at safe levels.
Sigra provide many relevant services to assessing and designing deep excavations. These include geology, rock property measurement, rock stress measurement, groundwater investigation as well as monitoring. The latter includes the monitoring of movement, stress change and fluid pressure. Sigra can design slopes and has particular expertise in drilling and slope drainage in a variety of rocks and soils. Figure 3 shows a piezometer installation on a slope.
