A workflow is what you use to define what should happen when a form on your website is submitted. This could be sending an email with the information from the form or it could be setting up a notification in a tool like Slack.
 The most common workflow is to present a "Thank you" message when a form is submitted, and then also send the email to a designated mail inbox.
 In your Umbraco Uno website a workflow has already been set up for you, and you only need to choose which email you want to notify, when a form has been submitted.
 In this article you will learn how to start using the default workflow, and you will also find information on how to set up your own custom workflows.
 Please be aware that you will need to fill out the Contact form email field, in the General settings page found under Settings in the Content section.
 This requires you to have set up a form. If you don't have a form set-up yet, you can learn how to do that in the Setting up a form section.
 Finding the workflows
 In this part, we will learn how to enter the configuration menu for workflows. We will be working with a form that contains the following:
 - A Name field using a short answer
 - An Email field using a short answer
 - A Question using a long answer
 This is how you get into the configuration of your workflow:
 1. Navigate to the Forms section of the backoffice.
 2. Here, select the form you want to add a workflow to.
 3. At the bottom of the page, you will find a section containing a checkmark saying on submit.
 4. Click Configure workflow.
 5. The pop op window will contain the workflow that currently exists.
 Editing the existing workflow
 If you choose an empty form when setting up a new form, it will come with a working workflow. You will have to make a slight update to it before it functions optimally. This can be done in the configuration menu for workflows.
 1. Click the box Send template email to.
 2. In the field called Sender email, you should add something like [email protected]
 3. It is recommended to choose Igloo template.
 4. Hit submit and then hit submit in the next menu as well.
 Now the workflow will be working optimally if you followed the steps to point.
 Creating a custom workflow
 In this section, you will learn how to make a custom workflow that sends an email to your inbox of choice.
 1. First, give the workflow the name you want it to have in the Workflow Name field.
 2. Put a checkmark in the Active* so that the workflow is active.
 3. The Include Sensitive Data will be left unchecked unless your form contains sensitive data.
 4. Ensure that the Email is set to the email which should receive replies from forms.
 5. Next up is the Sender Email. Here you can add something like [email protected]
 6. If you want to reply directly to the customer from the forms reply, you can add {email} to the ReplyToEmail this will fetch the email from the field called email in the form.
 7. Next, you have the option to choose the subject of the email.
 8. In the next field, you can pick a template. It is recommended to use Igloo-template.cshtml.
 9. Finally, leave Attachments unchecked, unless you have an upload-field in the form, and want to receive the uploaded files through the workflow.
 this is the workflow settings
 The above is for setting up a workflow from scratch. This will be needed if you choose any of the two forms templates coming with the basic install of Umbraco Uno.

Kenya publishes baseline assessment on business & human rights as a precursor to National Action Plan
Author: Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, Published on: 12 September 2017
"Kenya National Baseline Assessment on Business & Human Rights 2017
…[D]uring the 2015 UN Universal Periodic Review, Kenya accepted a recommendation to develop a NAP for the implementation of the UNGPs. This Baseline Report has been prepared to support the development of NAP. The baseline seeks to assess some of the country's key laws and regulations that guide the conduct of business in order to identify the extent to which they speak to human rights, their enforcement, gaps and recommendations. It is as a result of desk review of the extent to which the government of Kenya has implemented its obligations in promoting the respect of human rights, protecting against human rights violations by business enterprises through policies, laws and regulations and their enforcement as well as provision of appropriate and effective remedies for breach.
This report will be complemented by country-wide stakeholder consultations with businesses, communities and civil society organizations and government that seek to identify the most common areas of tension between business and human rights, how they manifest and recommend solutions that address them. The report is divided into two sections. The first section, introduction, presents a brief summary of the journey towards NAPs including where we are globally; the methodology used in preparing this baseline; and the country context. The second section comprises key findings and recommendations of state obligations under pillars 1 and 3 and assesses the extent to which the government in its policy -making and legislative action, enforcement and provision of judicial and non - judicial remedies adheres to the UNGPs. The report is not exhaustive in its analysis of the current status of implementation, and focuses on the issues of land and natural resources; labour, environment, revenue transparency and; accountability and access to remedy. The choice of the five issues was based on a non -scientific survey of the most common areas of impact by business operations that affect the enjoyment of human rights.

Usage-based pricing: How does this work within Fivetran?
Written by Nicolas Beunen
Thursday 11 March, 2021
Fivetran, I've heard the name....
But what does it do?
The classic data integration tools force analysts to predict what insights they can get from a limited data set and then build a resource-intensive workflow around it that is dated and inflexible.
Fivetran changes that all, with its fully automated data pipeline built especially for analysts.
With automation extracting and loading the disparate data directly into your data warehouse, Fivetran provides a faster, better way to centralize all of your data sources so you can quickly model and obtain meaningful insights.
Pay only for the rows you consume
Pricing model of FivetranPricing is based on your Fivetran usage, simple. Consumption is based on the amount of'monthly active rows' within your warehouse. These'monthly active rows' (MARs) are only counted and thus invoiced when a row is updated or inserted in your warehouse.
Pricing scales logarithmically, which simply means, when you replicate more data through Fivetran, you'll see the value of one credit stretched across more rows. The more you use, the more a credit will be worth, the more rows can be inserted and updated per credit.
So to get a decent understanding of how many active rows you have per month, there's a simple calculation you can do:
Example of Fivetran pricing
Total amount of rows in your warehouse X the percentage of updated/new rows in your warehouse.
The resulting number will give you your total amount of monthly active rows. In this example we take into account that 10% of the rows are updated. This is an estimation. In general this percentage is somewhere between 10% and 20%.
The conversion rate of MARs to credits is determined by the consumption table. The more you use, the more a credit will be worth.
There are different pricing models
There a 3 main pricing tiers, that are especially designed to fit most use-cases/companies. In these 3 tiers, credits will be priced differently. You can always upgrade your plan if your usage has outgrown the current plan.
1. Starter - Jumpstart your data initiatives!
The starter platform gives you access to the pre-built connectors and post load transformations to get started with automating data integration to power your business insights.
This model is best fit for companies that have a small handful of web application sources that and don't really need real-time data.
1 Fivetran credit = $1.00
2. Standard - Control business logic and automate integrations
The standard platform unlocks the database connectors for your marketing, ERP, product or other data into your warehouse. This tier also grants access to the API's for programmatic management of your account. You'll also have access to 15-minute syncs for real-time reporting, which you can use to make better decisions.
This model is best fit for the biggest part of companies, as it supports all integration use-cases.
1 Fivetran credit = $1.50
3. Enterprise - Solve the most complex business requirements
The enterprise platform includes all features of the Starter and Standard models, but also includes additional support. By supporting VPN tunneling and having the possibility to use custom user roles, Fivetran can help maintain the internal security & compliance rules. This model also has a industry-unique SLA that guarantees your data access and your access to 5-minute syncs that maintain your business-critical data replication needs.
This model is best fit for companies that have advanced internal security and compliance rules/needs.
1 Fivetran credit = $2.00
So, how can we pay for all this awesomeness?
There are 2 payment options available for Fivetran at this point, monthly or annually:
1. Credit card
Paying via your credit card is definitely the fastest method. All you have to do is input your credit card details in your Fivetran account. That way, on a monthly cadence, your usage will be automatically billed. Of course you have access to detailed reports about billing in your Fivetran account to follow up on everything.
2. Contract
You can also leverage a contract by contacting the Fivetran sales team through Biztory. This method offers more possibilities to explore discounts, get best-practice advice on your use-case and get the highest possible value out of your purchase.
Does this sound like a lot of work or money? It is not.
Let's get in touch, we'll gladly show you how Fivetran will save you time and resources, make your data engineer's life easier and finally provide a stable and scalable solution to data pipelining.
You can always start a free trial, just get in touch with us and we'll hook you up!

Antonio is a masculine given name of Etruscan origin deriving from the root name Antonius. It is common name among Romance language-speaking populations as well as several Slavic countries in the Balkans, Lusophone Africa and South Africa.[1]
In the English language it is translated as Anthony, and has some female derivatives: Antonia, Antónia, Antonieta, Antonietta, and Antonella'. It also has some male derivatives, such as Anthonio, Antón, Antò, Antonis, Antoñito, Antonino, Antonello, Tonio, Tono, Toño, Toñín, Tonino, Nantonio, Ninni, Totò,, Tonini, Tony, Toni, Toninho, Toñito, and Tõnis. The Portuguese equivalent is António (Portuguese orthography) or Antônio (Brazilian Portuguese). In old Portuguese the form Antão was also used, not just to differentiate between older and younger but also between more and less important, In Galician the form is Antón, in Catalan Antò, and in Basque Antxon. The Greek versions of the name are Antonios (Αντώνιος) and Antonis (Αντώνης).
The name derives from Antonius, a well-known Latin family name, probably of Etruscan origin. The Roman general Marcus Antonius held that the origin of the name was Anthon (Ανθών), son of Hercules. This myth, recorded by Plutarch, was probably created by Marcus Antonius himself, in order to claim divine parentage. The name was in use throughout the Roman world which, at its height, comprised the whole of the Mediterranean and much of Europe as well as the Middle East. When the Roman Empire became Christian, the name continued in popularity because of the many great saints who bore the name. Later, the name was spread all around the world as Christianity was introduced to other locations (e.g. the Far East, the Americas, Australia, and Sub-Saharan Africa).

Gods Eye river
Although not as well made as the kingsroad, a reliable track runs along the eastern shore of the river to an unnamed town near the river's source at the Gods Eye. Cottages, cabins, and farms are also in the vicinity.
The Map of the South from A Dance with Dragons, the "Westeros" map from The Lands of Ice and Fire, and the "Riverlands" map from The World of Ice & Fire depict the Goldroad as running west from King's Landing, crossing the Gods Eye river, and then crossing south of the Blackwater. "The Known World" and "The West" maps from The Lands of ice and Fire, however, depict the Goldroad as running south of the unnamed river's confluence with the Blackwater.
A Clash of Kings
Yoren leads his group of recruits for the Night's Watch, including Arya Stark. He hopes to travel west of the Gods Eye to avoid traffic on the kingsroad. Their route west is blocked by the river, however, and Woth reports that a wooden bridge has been burned up. Yoren instead leads them north to the unnamed town.
The river was a blue-green ribbon shining in the morning sun. Reeds grew thick in the shallows along the banks, and Arya saw a water snake skimming across the surface, ripples spreading out behind it as it went. Overhead a hawk flew in lazy circles.—thoughts of Arya Stark

How To Install Composer on Fedora 39
Install Composer on Fedora 39
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Composer on Fedora 39. Composer is a crucial tool for modern PHP development. It is a dependency manager that allows developers to manage and control packages that a PHP project requires. By automating the process of installing and updating project dependencies, Composer significantly simplifies the workflow for PHP developers.
This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add 'sudo' to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the PHP Composer on a Fedora 39.
Prerequisites
Before diving into the installation process, let's ensure that you have everything you need:
 - A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 39.
 - It's recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
 - You will need access to the terminal to execute commands. Fedora 39 provides the Terminal application for this purpose. It can be found in your Applications menu.
 - You'll need an active internet connection to download Composer and its dependencies.
 - A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you're not careful when acting as the root.
Install Composer on Fedora 39
Step 1. First, update the system packages to ensure that you have the latest versions. This can be done using the following command:
sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf update
Step 2. Installing Composer on Fedora 39.
Next, you need to download the Composer installer script using the curl command. Run the following command in the terminal:
curl -sS _URL_ -o composer-setup.php
To ensure script integrity, use the hash published on the Composer website:
HASH="$(curl -sS _URL_
php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === '$HASH') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
Now, you can install Composer using the installer script. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
To verify that Composer has been installed successfully, you can run the following command in the terminal:
composer --version
With Composer downloaded, let's configure it to be globally accessible. Move the Composer executable to a system-wide directory and add it to the system path:
sudo mv composer /usr/local/bin/composer
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin
source ~/.bashrc
Step 3. Utilizing Composer in PHP Projects.
Composer simplifies project initialization, dependency management, and installation. Navigate to your project directory and execute:
composer init
Follow the interactive prompts to create your composer.json file. Once completed, install project dependencies:
composer install
Composer intelligently fetches and installs the specified dependencies, optimizing your development workflow.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Composer. Thanks for using this tutorial for installing the PHP Composer on your Fedora 39 system. For additional or useful information, we recommend you check the official Composer website.

Equations Describing Autonomous Transcriptional Regulatory Circuits
 International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
 Li Pengfei; Hu Gang; Chen Runsheng
 2008-01-01
 Gene transcriptional regulation (TR) processes are often described by coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). When the dimension of TR circuits is high (e.g. n ≥ 3) the motions of the corresponding ODEs may, very probably, show self-sustained oscillations and chaos. On the other hand, chaoticity may be harmful for the normal biological functions of TR processes. In this letter we numerically study the dynamics of 3-gene TR ODEs in great detail, and investigate many 4-, 5-, and 10-gene TR systems by randomly choosing figures and parameters in the conventionally accepted ranges. And we find that oscillations are very seldom and no chaotic motion is observed, even if the dimension of systems is sufficiently high (n ≥ 3). It is argued that the observation of nonchaoticity of these ODEs agrees with normal functions of actual TR processes

 We provide unified phenomenological description of magnetooptic effects being linear and quadratic in magnetization. The description is based on few principal spectra, describing elements of permittivity tensor up to the second order in magnetization. Each permittivity tensor element for any magnetization direction and any sample surface orientation is simply determined by weighted summation of the principal spectra, where weights are given by crystallographic and magnetization orientations. The number of principal spectra depends on the symmetry of the crystal. In cubic crystals owning point symmetry we need only four principal spectra. Here, the principal spectra are expressed by ab initio calculations for bcc Fe, fcc Co and fcc Ni in optical range as well as in hard and soft x-ray energy range, i.e. at the 2p- and 3p-edges. We also express principal spectra analytically using modified Kubo formula.
 20. Chapter 35: Describing Data and Data Collections in the VO
 Science.gov (United States)
 Kent, B. R.; Hanisch, R. J.; Williams, R. D.
 The list of numbers: 19.22, 17.23, 18.11, 16.98, and 15.11, is of little intrinsic interest without information about the context in which they appear. For instance, are these daily closing stock prices for your favorite investment, or are they hourly photometric measurements of an increasingly bright quasar? The information needed to define this context is called metadata. Metadata are data about data. Astronomers are familiar with metadata through the headers of FITS files and the names and units associated with columns in a table or database. In the VO, metadata describe the contents of tables, images, and spectra, as well as aggregate collections of data (archives, surveys) and computational services. Moreover, VO metadata are constructed according to rules that avoid ambiguity and make it clear whether, in the example above, the stock prices are in dollars or euros, or the photometry is Johnson V or Sloan g. Organization of data is important in any scientific discipline. Equally crucial are the descriptions of that data: the organization publishing the data, its creator or the person making it available, what instruments were used, units assigned to measurement, calibration status, and data quality assessment. The Virtual Observatory metadata scheme not only applies to datasets, but to resources as well, including data archive facilities, searchable web forms, and online analysis and display tools. Since the scientific output flowing from large datasets depends greatly on how well the data are described, it is important for users to understand the basics of the metadata scheme in order to locate the data that they want and use it correctly. Metadata are the key to data discovery and data and service interoperability in the Virtual Observatory.

Effects of the baking process on the chemical composition, sensory quality, and bioactivity of tieguanyin oolong tea
Tieguanyin oolong tea (TOT), a semi-oxidized tea originating from Anxi county in China, is categorized into jade TOT, medium-baked TOT, and deep-baked TOT, based on different baking processes. To study the effects of baking, chemical analysis, sensory evaluation, and bioactivity assessments of the three TOTs were conducted. The results indicated that the baking process promoted the formation of colored macromolecules (e.g., theabrownins), which affected the color of tea infusion. Free amino acids underwent the Maillard reaction and generated specific Maillard reaction products, such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural, which modified the taste and aroma. Floral and fresh volatiles were remarkably reduced, while multiple new volatiles were produced, forming a typically baked aroma. The antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity were reduced after baking, which might be associated with the decrease of monomeric catechins. These results provide a scientific basis for understanding the changes caused by the baking process.

Cutting PVC pipe with a string is an easy process; all you need is the right type of string, a small flame, and a pair of scissors. The key is to use a string that is not prone to melting – like waxed twine, kite string, or fishing line.
Start by measuring the length of string you need to cut the pipe, add an extra 10 inches, and thread the string through the pipe. Tie the ends of the string together, then tie it off to a stationary object, such as a pipe anchor.
To ensure the string won't slip off, wrap a couple of turns of electrical tape around it.
Next, use a small flame to slowly heat the pipe where the string is wrapped around. Keep it just hot enough to melt the plastic, but not so hot that it char or flames. You will see a split develop along the string's wraps, so adjust the flame as needed.
As the plastic melts, use a pair of scissors or pruning shears to cut through it. Once the pipe is cut through, you can use sandpaper to smooth out the edges. This process is simple, economical, and avoids the need to purchase PVC cutters or saws.
What is the tool to cut PVC pipe?
The best tool to cut PVC pipe is a handsaw. Handsaws have been used for centuries to effectively cut through a variety of materials, including PVC pipe. For best results, you'll want to purchase a good quality saw blade that is specifically designed for cutting plastics.
This will help ensure that your line is straight and even. When using a handsaw, it is important to make sure that the pipe is held securely in a rafter or vise so it doesn't move while you're cutting.
Safety glasses or a face shield should also be worn at all times to protect your eyes from any particles that may be created during the sawing process. Additionally, it may be helpful to use a framing square to help ensure straight cuts.
It is also possible to use a reciprocating saw, jigsaw, or an electric handsaw with a PVC cutting blade, however handsaws remain a popular choice owing to their versatility and affordability.
Can you cut threaded pipe?
Yes, you can cut threaded pipe. Depending on the material, you can use either a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, jigsaw, rotary cutting tools, or a small pipe cutter to achieve a clean cut. For steel and iron piping, a hacksaw should be used for precision cuts.
For plastic threaded pipe, a good quality jigsaw should provide the best results. When using a power saw, you'll need to use a drop cloth or other material to catch the cut away pieces so they don't fly around the room.
If you are using a pipe cutter, wrap the pipe in masking or painter's tape so that it doesn't slip in the cutter when you are trying to make your cut. Above all else, use safety glasses and gloves whenever you are cutting threaded pipe.
How do you cut a threaded pipe without ruining threads?
Cutting a threaded pipe without ruining the threads can be done using a few different methods.
The simplest method is to use a hand pipe threader. This tool has a pair of adjustable jaws that you place around the threaded portion of the pipe. Then, you use a file or a thread saw to carefully and slowly cut the pipe while inside the threader's jaws.
The threader will protect the threads, allowing you to make a clean, even cut.
If the cut is going to be near the end of the pipe, then using a hacksaw is a good option. Be sure to use a metal saw blade, and clamp the pipe securely to a workbench. This will help to keep the pipe from moving as you cut, allowing for a straight and accurate cut.
To further protect the threads from damage, you can wrap them in masking tape or a rag.
Finally, you can also use a pipe cutter to make the cut. A pipe cutter uses a sharp, hardened wheel to easily and accurately slice through pipes of various sizes. Be sure to adjust the cutter to the correct size for the pipe you're working with, and slowly guide it around the pipe to make the cut.
This is a good method if you don't have a threader or hacksaw handy.
How do you use a PVC wire cutter?
Using a PVC wire cutter is an easy and effective way to cut through PVC wires and pipes. Before you use the cutter, make sure to properly measure and mark the cut site. It is important to leave enough room to account for any adjustments that may be necessary after the cut is complete.
Once you are confident with the correct size, insert the blade of the PVC wire cutter into the cut area. Automated wire cutters usually require two hands to operate, so it may be helpful to use two hands for better leverage.
Use a slow steady motion to move the PVC wire cutter in a circular motion. If the cut is too rough, use sandpaper to fine sand the edges.
Once the PVC wire cutter has made it through the entire section of material, using a small rotary saw or chisel may be necessary. This will help to smooth out the cut area. After the cut is complete, inspect it to make sure the cut is even and free of any burrs or defects.
You can then glue or solder the pieces back together, or use the cut piece as part of your project.
Are PVC pipes easy to cut?
PVC pipes are relatively easy to cut, depending on the size of the pipe. Smaller PVC pipes can be cut using a simple handsaw or a PVC pipe cutting tool. For larger pipes, a chop saw or power saw works best.
Before sawing a PVC pipe, it is important to remember to wear safety glasses and to ensure the pipe is held securely in place. It is also important to ensure the blade used to cut the PVC pipe is sharp to allow for a cleaner, more accurate cut.
Can PVC pipe be cut with hacksaw?
Yes, PVC pipe can be cut with a hacksaw. This is one of the most convenient and cost-effective ways of cutting PVC pipe, as most people already have a hacksaw available in their home or workshop. There are several easy steps to follow to make the cutting process a success.
First, ensure that there is adequate ventilation in the room, as PVC can release toxic fumes when cut. Measure the PVC, draw a line with a marker at the desired length and then secure the PVC by using a vice or clamps to hold it in place.
Ensure that the blade of the hacksaw is sharp. Place the blade of the hacksaw at the mark and begin sawing slowly, without applying too much pressure. Continue cutting until you reach the opposite side of the line.
Sand the edges of the PVC with a sandpaper to make them smooth. The PVC can now be used for whatever project you have in mind.

Yes, you can cut PVC pipe at Home Depot. Most stores offer pipe cutters that are designed specifically for cutting PVC pipe. These cutters are usually equipped with sharp blades that are designed to easily slice through the PVC pipe.
Some stores also offer mechanical saws that are specially designed to cut PVC pipe as well. Depending on the size of the pipe, Home Depot may offer a variety of pipe cutters that can help you achieve the perfect cut.
If you don't see the right tools available in the store, Home Depot staff can help you find the right size and type of cutter for your job.
Can you use a pipe cutter for PVC?
Yes, you can use a pipe cutter for PVC. Pipe cutters are specifically designed to make quick, clean cuts on multiple types of pipes, including PVC. They are an effective and safe way to cut PVC pipes without damaging them.
A pipe cutter has a circular cutting wheel at the tip that rotates as you tighten it to cut through the pipe. The blade will be drawn into the wheel and cut the pipe cleanly. When using a pipe cutter to cut PVC, it is important to rotate the blade several times or until the blade is fully embedded in the wheel to ensure a clean cut.
To prevent damage to the wheel, make sure you lubricate the edges of the pipe before you start cutting. Once you have finished cutting, be sure to replace the wheel and clean off any debris from the wheel before you store the pipe cutter.
Can I use a tubing cutter to cut PVC pipe?
Yes, you can use a tubing cutter to cut PVC pipe, but when doing so it is important to pay careful attention to the instructions for proper use of the tubing cutter for maximum efficiency and safety.
A tubing cutter is a device that is designed to easily and safely cut through tough materials such as PVC pipe. Using a tubing cutter is often the easiest way to cut PVC pipe as it will provide a clean, smooth cut without damaging the pipe, which can be difficult to accomplish without the proper tool.
To use the tubing cutter, first secure the plastic pipe in a vise. Make sure that the blade of the tube cutter is centered on the line that needs to be cut. Slowly tighten the knob of the tubing cutter until the blade digs into the plastic pipe and then rotate the tube cutter around the pipe while keeping the blade on the line.
Continue to tighten the knob slightly and rotate around the pipe until the cut is complete. After the


insert derived values (W, Gh/J, etc.) where sufficient values are given.
If more than one structure is provided, each will be included in the template separately up to a maximum of 4. This allows for minimum and maximum power consumption figures, and minimum and maximum hash rates (if not coinciding with the power consumption figures). Further values, e.g. to demonstrate non-linearity, are outside the scope of this template and should ideally be noted in a chip's datasheet.
Important: If you do not have exact figures but have values from which to roughly calculate them, such as from a complete miner's specification, you can enter a mathematical expression. For example, if you know that a miner is advertised as being 800Ghash/s, and a picture tells you that it has 12 chips, you can use mining=800/12 and the template will calculate the hash rate. The main reason for entering these values directly has to do with sourcing, such that others can verify the values entered. In this example, a hash rate of 66.67 is unlikely to be found through a search or through checking sources. Similarly, if only a miner's (800Ghash/s) at-the-wall power consumption (400Watt) and the power supply's efficiency (83%) is known, you can use mining=800/12:400/12*0.83
optional comma separated list of up to four mining structures
syntax: mining=Gh:J,V:Hz
example (no suffixes): mining=200:0.82,0.78:175
example (suffixes for clarity) mining=200Gh:0.82J,0.78V:175Hz
die Technical data about the chip die itself.
optional multiple value parameter
Note: The Gh/mm² and η-factor values are automatically derived from the die size and node process sizes if the hash rate is also known.
syntax: die=foundry,node,topology,size
example: die=TSMC,28nm,full custom,3.5x3.5
die.foundry The foundry that produced the chip wafers. Typically this will be one of TSMC, Global Foundries, UMC, or SMIC, but there are other foundries especially for older node sizes.
optional string
die.node Node size. This should be specified in nanometers (nm) and may include the 'nm' suffix for clarity. Sizes should not be specified in µm.
optional string
die.topology The topology of the chip. This can be difficult to ascertain as many manufacturers won't say, or rely on multiple technologies. This value will typically be one of hard copy, full custom or gate array. hard copy generally refers to an FPGA design that was turned into an ASIC by path of least resistance; letting software solve it. full custom may include a custom designed core but with placing and routing automated.
optional string
die.size Physical size of the die, expressed in millimeters length'xwidth and may include the 'mm' suffix for clarity, e.g. 4x4mm
optional dimensions string
package Details of the package used for the chip.
optional multiple value parameter
syntax: package=type,size,markings
example: package=QFN,8x8mm,BTC2000 / [date code] / [lot #]
package.type The package type and pin count used for the chip. This will typically be one of QFN, BGA or FCBGA, followed by the number of pins. The number of pins on some packages can be difficult to determine. For example, a BGA may consist of 32 rows and 32 columns, but have its corner pins removed, or the shadow area under the die may not have any pins at all. When the pin count varies wildly from what a simple rows * columns calculation would provide, use the rows * columns calculation, append an asterisk (in this example, BGA1024*, and if possible supply media showing the pins on the chip more clearly in the pics parameter if not already specified.
optional string
package.size Physical size of the package's board presence without any leads - i.e. just the dimensions of the (plastic / ceramic) package - expressed in millimeters length'xwidth and may include the 'mm' suffix for clarity, e.g. 9x9mm
optional dimensions string
package.markings Plaintext transcription of the markings on the package, excluding pin 1 indication markers. New lines should be substituted by / (space before and after the slash character).
Bare packages should have their markings specified as 'none'.
If the markings include a logo, the logo may simply be described as company logo or device logo, though in the case of logos that incorporate text this text should be noted.
Special markings may be indicated by place holders, e.g. [lot #] and [date code].
optional string
datecodes A list of date codes found in the wild. Date codes can help establish manufacturing runs. Typical date codes exist of a week number and a year, both as two digits, together. However, more complex date codes exist and if in use may not be easy to decipher without a datasheet.
optional comma separated list of strings
syntax: datecodes=code1,code2,...
example: 3913,4013,4113
warning A warning state, where applicable. The only three warning states currently recognized are:
needinfo: Inserts a text noting that more information on this chip is desired.
vaporware: Inserts a text noting that the chip may not actually exist.
scam: Inserts a text noting that the chip is the subject of a scam accusation.
These warnings should not be used lightly. Lack of information on a chip does not necessarily imply a scam, and should instead be set to needinfo. When there are strong indications that the chip simply doesn't exist vaporware is an appropriate state. Only when there are strong scam accusations should the scam state be used. If it is known that a chip never reached production because it was canceled, use the canceled state.
There are no 'warnings' for chips that are legitimate, currently available or currently under production. Simply leave out this parameter, and no warning will be inserted.
Important: If set, further information must be provided in the notes parameter. optional needinfo|vaporware|scam
syntax: warning=needinfo|vaporware|scam
example: warning=vaporware
notes Any additional notes that should be added. This may include trivia (back story behind a name, for example), specifications not yet addressed in the template, or anything else you feel may be of interest.
optional string
syntax: notes=arbitrary string
example: notes=The Blockerator 2000 doesn't actually exist.
miners A (non-exhaustive) list of miners that use this particular chip. These miners may be [wiki linked] or plain linked if there is information on the particular miner available. However, this should absolutely not be used to refer to miners that do not (yet) exist. As with the entirety of the wiki, it is not advertising space.
optional list of comma separated strings
syntax: miners=miner1,miner2,...
example: miners=Blockerator 2K,Blockerator2K1
sources A list of sources. In order to prevent a link cloud or link clutter, while acknowledging the need to prevent [citation needed], this parameter should be used to list your sources. Anybody interested in checking where information came from can then put in the small effort to find it.
Note: If you are uploading media, consider putting the source citation in the media's description instead, and make sure to choose an appropriate license. For company logos this is usually because it will be a wordmark, simple geometric shapes argument, or just 'fair use' based on being illustrative. The latter argument also tends to apply to chip shots. However, if you can provide your own original photos, that would be preferred.
optional list of comma separated source citations.
syntax: sources=data1<ref>source1</ref>,data2 & data 3<ref>source2&3</ref>,...
example: sources=all the things: thin air (original research)
showsources Adds the citations below the template output. If the page has a <references /> tag, they will then be listed there.
optional boolean 0|1
syntax: showsources=0|1
example: showsources=1

Network settings for cloud voice features in Microsoft Teams
Learn about network regions, network sites, network subnets, and trusted IP addresses. These terms and concepts are used throughout our cloud voice documentation for Location-Based Routing for Direct Routing and dynamic emergency calling. If you're deploying these cloud features in your organization, you must configure network settings for use with these features in Microsoft Teams.
This article gives you an overview of the network settings that are common to Location-Based Routing and dynamic emergency calling. Depending on the cloud voice feature and capability that you're deploying, you configure some or all these settings. For steps on how to configure these settings, see Manage your network topology for cloud features in Teams.
Note
Any feature-specific requirements for network settings are documented in the configuration topics for that feature.
Network region
A network region contains a collection of network sites. It interconnects various parts of a network across multiple geographic areas. For example, if your organization has many sites located in India, you may choose to designate "India" as a network region. Each network site must be associated with a network region.
The same network regions are shared by Location-Based Routing for Direct Routing and enhanced emergency services. If you already created network regions for one feature, you don't have to create new network regions for the other feature.
Network site
A network site represents a location where your organization has a physical venue, such as an office, a set of buildings, or a campus. Network sites are defined as a collection of IP subnets. Each network site must be associated with a network region.
You can also use network sites to enable and configure emergency calling.
Network subnet
Each subnet must be associated with a specific network site. A client's location is determined based on the network subnet and the associated network site. You can associate multiple subnets with the same network site but you can't associate multiple sites with the same subnet.
Subnet information is used to determine the network site on which an endpoint is located when a new session is initiated. When the location of each party in a session is known, the cloud voice feature can apply that information to determine how to handle call setup or routing.
For each network site, work with your network admin to determine which IP subnets are assigned to each network site. For example, the New York site in the North America region can be assigned the following IP subnets: 172.29.80.0/23, 157.57.216.0/25, 172.29.91.0/23, 172.29.81.0/24. If Bob, who usually works in Detroit, travels to the New York office for training, turns on his computer and connects to the network, his computer will get an IP address in one of the four ranges that are allocated for New York, for example, 172.29.80.103.
Trusted IP address
Trusted IP addresses are the internet external IP addresses of the enterprise network. They determine whether the user's endpoint is inside the corporate network before checking for a specific site match.
If the user's external IP address matches an IP address that's in the trusted IP address list, the cloud voice feature checks to determine the internal subnet where the user's endpoint is located. A match can be made against either IPv4 or IPv6 IP addresses and is dependent upon the format of the IP packet sent to the network settings. (If a public IP address has both IPv4 and IPv6, you must add both as trusted IP addresses.)
If the user's external IP address doesn't match an IP address that's in the trusted IP address list, the endpoint is classified as being at an unknown location.


The potential of self-supervised networks for random noise suppression in seismic data
Claire Emma Birnie, Matteo Ravasi, Sixiu Liu, Tariq Ali Alkhalifah
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
Abstract
Noise suppression is an essential step in many seismic processing workflows. A portion of this noise, particularly in land datasets, presents itself as random noise. In recent years, neural networks have been successfully used to denoise seismic data in a supervised fashion. However, supervised learning always comes with the often unachievable requirement of having noisy-clean data pairs for training. Using blind-spot networks, we redefine the denoising task as a self-supervised procedure where the network uses the surrounding noisy samples to estimate the noise-free value of a central sample. Based on the assumption that noise is statistically independent between samples, the network struggles to predict the noise component of the sample due to its randomicity, whilst the signal component is accurately predicted due to its spatio-temporal coherency. Illustrated on synthetic examples, the blind-spot network is shown to be an efficient denoiser of seismic data contaminated by random noise with minimal damage to the signal; therefore, providing improvements in both the image domain and down-the-line tasks, such as post-stack inversion. To conclude our study, the suggested approach is applied to field data and the results are compared with two commonly used random denoising techniques: FX-deconvolution and sparsity-promoting inversion by Curvelet transform. By demonstrating that blind-spot networks are an efficient suppressor of random noise, we believe this is just the beginning of utilising self-supervised learning in seismic applications.

Introduction Each of the Channel Islands is home to an endemic subspecies of deer mouse that is found nowhere else on earth. In some cases, island deer mice are the only terrestrial mammal occuring on the island. They thrive in the varied habitats on the islands, with populations densities that are higher than anywhere else in the world. The island deer mouse population is an important part in the ecosystem, as food for predators, and as consumers of seeds-including those of non-native plants.
Quick and Cool Facts
Deer mice are widely spread across North America; however each of the five Channel Islands has its own distinct sub-species.
Deer mice populations at Channel Islands National Park have been monitored since 1992.
Island deer mouse population densities are higher, and fluctuate more, than anywhere else in the world.
Deer mice exhibit population dynamics that differ markedly from mainland populations of the same species.
Climate and predation (by island foxes on some islands, and owls on others) are the most important factors determining island deer mouse population fluctuations.
Generally, more rain provides more food for the species, yet abundant rain with cold winters may in fact decrease the deer mouse population.
Appearance Deer mice from the Channel Islands have dark brownish-black tipped hairs on their back, a buffy band on their sides and then grey at the base. In general, island mice are darker than mainland mice. Deer mice are the prototype for "field mice" with large, bulging eyes, big ears, a bi-colored pattern and a long tail.
Range The deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus is the most widespread North American rodent. It is found throughout southern Canada, the United States, and north and central Mexico, including Baja California. It is most commonly called the deer mouse, although that name is common to most species of Peromyscus. It is absent from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal plains of the United States, but its range does extend to the coast in east Texas. However, each of the Channel Islands are home to a different subspecies of deer mouse that is found nowhere else on earth.
Habitat Due to the diverse habitat of the Channel Islands, nesting is found in the natural cover of the landscape. The deer mouse will nest alone on most occasions but will sometimes nest with a deer mouse of the opposite sex. The deer mouse is generally a nocturnal creature.
Feeding Food selection is dependent on both habitat and season. Deer mice feed heavily on larvae from lepidopterans (includes moths and butterflies) and other insects in the spring. They can eat large volumes and are capable of ridding an area of many insects that may be detrimental to trees. In the fall, seeds become a major food source and are stored in caches for use during the winter.
Island studies have shown that deer mice occasionally prey on eggs and nestlings of Scripps's murrelets on Santa Barbara Island. However, the annual reproductive success of murrelets was not related to deer mouse densities. Likewise, research on San Miguel Island showed that as seed predators, deer mice had limited impacts on giant coreopsis populations, especially when compared to the negative competitive effects of non-native annual grasses.
Reproduction Deer mice on the Channel Islands have been found to show definite breeding seasons, with the majority of reproduction occurring during the spring and summer months with generally two litters produced. The normal gestation period range is from 22-35 days, with the average being 26 days, and mice are considered in their juvenile pelage from birth to 11 weeks, while sub adults are from 11-21 weeks.
Park research has shown that island deer mouse population densities are higher than anywhere else in the world. However, population dynamics on different islands vary in response to numerous factors, including predator diversity, vegetation community structure, and climate.
For example, monitoring data shows that deer mouse densities on San Miguel Island are strongly limited by the endangered island fox (Urocyon littoralis littoralis), whereas on Santa Barbara Island, where there are no foxes, mouse densities are much more variable. Predation by barnowls on Santa Barbara Island can drive th emousr population to extreme lows. Unlike the generalist island fox, barn owls are more specialized predators and do not switch to other prey species when their their primary prey (mice) decline.
In addition, research has revealed that rainfall is a strong driver of deer mouse population dynamics. High winter rainfall encourages plant growth which provides food resources, while drought reduces plant growth and limits mouse productivity. However, abundant winter rain combined with cold temperatures may actually increase winter mortality and reduce the number of mice that survive from fall to spring.
Conservation Status The island deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus, is listed by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, tolerance of a broad range of habitats, occurrence in a number of protected areas, and because it is unlikely to be in decline.
Deer mice populations at Channel Islands National Park have been monitored since 1992. Nine permanent grids have been established in various habitats on Anacapa, San Miguel and Santa Barbara Islands. These grids are sampled twice each year during the spring and fall seasons and mark/recapture methods are used to determine population densities.
The objective of the monitoring is to identify trends in the deer mice population, evaluate the general health of the population utilizing weight, age, sex, and reproductive information and to increase our understanding of how island ecosystems respond to changing environmental conditions.

TEMPERATURE EFFECT ON DIODE
The following graph shows the effect of temperature on the characteristics of diode
A-B curve: This curve shows the characteristics of diode for different temperatures in the forward biase. As we can see from the figure given above, that curve moves towards left as we increase the temperature. We know with increase in temperature, conductivity of semiconductors increase. The intrinsic concentration (ni) of the semiconductors is dependent on temperature as given by:
Eg is the energy gap
K is a voltage man constant
A is a constant independent of temperature
When temperature is high, the electrons of the outermost shell take the thermal energy and become free. So conductivity increases with temperature. Hence with increase in temperature, the A-B curve would shift towards left i.e. curve would rise sharply and the breakdown voltage would also decrease with increase in temperature.
A-C curve: This curve shows the characteristics of diode in the reverse biased region till the breakdown voltage for different temperatures. We know ni concentration would increase with increase in temperature and hence minority charges would increase with increase in temperature. The minority charge carriers are also known as thermally generated carriers and the reverse current depends on minority carriers only. Hence as the number of minority charge carriers increase, the reverse current would also increase with temperature as shown in the figure given on the previous page.
The reverse saturation current gets double with every 10 C increase in temperature.
C-D curve: This curve shows the characteristics of a diode in reverse biased region from the breakdown voltage point onwards. As with increase in temperature, loosely bonded electrons are already free and to free the other electrons, it would take more voltage than earlier. Hence breakdown voltage increases with increase in temperature as depicted in the figure shown in the figure given on the previous page..


Telling a Story with Test Code
 You block advertising 😢
Would you like to buy me a ☕ instead?
A few weeks ago, I wrote about naming unit tests BDD style using Given/When/Then. In this article, I have expressed the thought that I do not like to repeat information in the description and in the expect statement. After writing some tests the way I've described in this article, I noticed a couple of drawbacks.
Keeping test code DRY?
Generally speaking, the principles of DRY do not apply to test code. And even more, generally speaking: DRY is not a principle you should follow blindly. But still, I find it not ideal to repeat certain information in tests (and code in general).
describe('sum()', async (assert) => {
 assert({
 given: 'no arguments',
 should: 'return 0', // This is the same information as ...
 actual: sum(),
 expected: 0, // ... this.
 });
});
The example above is taken directly from an excellent article about a similar topic from Eric Elliott. Although I like the straightforwardness of his RITE way very much, I don't like the repetition of information. But avoiding repetition might not be the best thing to do anyway. What's more is that it's harder to tell a story that way, which, in my opinion, makes this approach less practicable for testing UI components. Still, I'm very tempted to take a closer look at Eric's RITE way in the future.
describe('deposit()', () => {
 describe('Given the balance is 1.000 €.', () => {
 const bankAccount = {};
 beforeEach(() => {
 bankAccount.balance = 1000;
 });

 describe('When making a deposit of 100 €.', () => {
 const amount = 100;
 const theBalance = deposit({ amount, bankAccount });

 test(
 'Then I expect the balance to be 1.100 €.',
 () => expect(theBalance).toBe(1100),
 );
 });
 });
});
This example may not seem too bad at first glance, but we all know what happens when time passes, and several developers work on this piece of code: at some point, the text in the description and the value in the expect statement no longer match.
// Time has passed, requirements have changed,
// the 'expect' statement was updated, the
// test description was not.
test(
 'Then I expect the balance to be 1.100 €.',
 () => expect(theBalance).toBe(1200),
);
That was the main reason for me to establish the rule that the description text describes the When and the expect() statement replaces the Then.
describe('deposit()', () => {
 describe('Given the balance is 1.000 €.', () => {
 // ...
 test('When making a deposit of 100 €.', () => {
 // ...
 // Then I ...
 expect(theBalance).toBe(1100);
 });
 });
});
Unfortunately, there are situations where this does not work very well.
describe('calcAnswerValueAverage()', () => {
 describe('Given there are unanswered questions.', () => {
 const questions = [
 {
 id: 1,
 // ...
 answer: {
 text: 'Yes',
 value: 2,
 },
 },
 {
 // ...
 answer: {
 text: 'Partially',
 value: 1,
 },
 },
 {
 // ...
 answer: null,
 },
 {
 // ...
 answer: null,
 },
 ];
 test('When calculating the average value.', () => {
 const value = calcAnswerValueAverage(questions);
 expect(value).toBe(1.5);
 });
 });
});
In the test code above, there is one critical piece of information missing: the expectation of how empty answers should be handled. When taking a closer look, we might find out that it seems like unanswered questions are ignored when calculating the average value. Ideally, we want to be able to take the test code as a blueprint for writing the implementation. This is not possible if we write such tests.
describe('calcAnswerValueAverage()', () => {
 describe('Given there are unanswered questions.', () => {
 // ...
 describe('When calculating the average value.', () => {
 const value = calcAnswerValueAverage(questions);
 test(
 'Then I expect unanswered questions to be ignored.',
 () => expect(value).toBe(1.5),
 );
 });
 });
});
Now in this example it is absolutely clear how the calcAnswerValueAverage() function is expected to behave.
calcAnswerValueAverage()
 Given there are unanswered questions.
 When calculating the average value.
 Then I expect unanswered questions to be ignored.
You can give those instructions to a developer and they should know how to build something that fulfills those requirements.
If we go back to the deposit example, we can change it up a bit so we can avoid the repetition problem altogether.
 describe('deposit()', () => {
 describe('Given the balance is 1.000 €.', () => {
 // ...
 describe('When making a deposit of 100 €.', () => {
 // ...
 test(
- 'Then I expect the balance to be 1.000 €.',
+ 'Then I expect the balance to be updated.',
 () => expect(theBalance).toBe(1100),
 );
 });
 });
 });
I'm not 100% certain if it is better to give up clarity for the sake of avoiding repetition. But in many cases, which are more like the calcAnswerValueAverage() example, tests written that way are more useful in comparison to repeating information in the expect statement.
Objections
It may seem like a lot of work to write our tests this way. I believe that writing the specifications of our components and functions in plain english can help us tremendously in understanding the problem we are trying to solve more thoroughly. And this, in turn, can help us to write a more straightforward implementation.
Wrapping it up
An important aspect of test code is that it can serve as documentation of how your application should behave in certain (edge) cases. Therefore it might be worth it to have redundancy if, in return, we get a perfectly obvious specification of how our application is expected to behave. It's a trade-off.

关键字：Wireless energy and information transfer; wire-less energy transfer; D2D communication; stochastic geometry; meta distribution
摘要：As a key enabling technology for truly sustainable operation of devices, wireless energy and information transfer (WEIT) has attracted significant attention in wireless com-munication networks. Previous works on WEIT network analysis mostly concentrated on the energy outage probability or the expectation of the transferred energy at the typical wirelessly powered device using stochastic geometry. These calculations are relatively straightforward, but they only provide limited information on the energy extracted by the individual devices. This paper considers a WEIT-enabled device-to-device (D2D) network with the ambient RF transmitters distributed according to a Poisson point process and focuses on the meta distribution of the transferred energy, which is the distribution of the conditional energy outage probability given the locations of the RF transmitters, to show what fraction of devices in the network satisfy the target energy outage constraint if the required transmission energy is given. Furthermore, we derive the meta distribution of the transmission rate under an energy outage constraint and introduce a new notion of transmission efficiency, termed wirelessly powered spatial transmission efficiency, which is defined as the density of concurrently active links that rely on the wireless energy transfer technique and satisfy a certain reliability constraint that has a rate greater than a predefined threshold. Our analysis provides insightful guidelines for the most efficient way to operate a WEIT-enabled self-sustainable D2D communication network.

Difference Between UHF Microphone and VHF Microphone
micro_phoneUHF vs VHF Microphones
Microphones are used to capture sound, whether its from the human voice, animals, or even from the environment, and either amplify it for rebroadcast or to record it for later use. Although VHF (Very High Frequency) and UHF (Ultra High Frequency) are both used to describe frequencies, these are not related to the frequency of the voice that is being recorded. Instead, it is related to the transmission of the voice signal from the microphone to its receiver on wireless microphones.
VHF microphones usually transmit at around 170Mhz to 216Mhz while UHF microphones transmit between 450Mhz and 952Mhz, which is over ten times the difference in the frequency range that devices can use. UHF microphones benefit from this very wide range of frequencies that can be used by manufacturers. This makes it less prone to interference as you are less likely to encounter another UHF device that transmits at the same frequency within range of each other. VHF microphones are a little bit more prone to this due to the number of VHF microphones in existence and the very narrow frequency spectrum.
But if there was no trade-off to the advantage of UHF microphones, VHF microphones would no longer exist in the market today. The disadvantage of UHF microphones is in the relatively high cost of these microphones. Because most people see no significant advantage to UHF microphones, only a price difference, VHF microphones are still widely used. And for most users of VHF microphones, it works flawlessly without any problems.
For most applications, VHF microphones would usually suffice as the probability of having a device that would interfere with it is still quite low. But for people who intend to work in areas where there are a lot of transmitters that work in the VHF range, having a UHF microphone is a must. UHF microphones are also advised to those who wants to ensure that their microphones work every time. In cases where microphones are absolutely essential, like in TV or radio broadcasting or concerts, having both types is the only way to go. So that you can switch to the other in case one is not working properly.
1.UHF and VHF are two divisions of the radio frequency spectrum
2.VHF microphones transmit between 170Mhz and 216Mhz while UHF microphones transmits at around 450Mhz to 952Mhz
3.UHF microphones tend to be less prone to interference compared to VHF microphones
4.UHF microphones cost more than VHF microphones

PostPosted: Visual C# General, Build a 'long' number from two int's Top
Hello,
i'm wondering whether it is possible to "build" a long number from two int's. My aim is to make it platform independent, thus i can't use any shift operators. With them, i would do something like that:
long number = (long)myInt | (((long)myInt2) << 32);
Does anybody have an idea

Combining two ints into a long is very much a platform dependent operation. You could potentially encapsulate this operation by first discovering the endianess of the platform (using BitConverter.IsLittleEndian) and then using appropriate shifting sequence.

Actaully, the simplest solutions might actaully be the one. :) Instead of you worrying about endianess, let the JIT worry for you.
Keep the casting to avoid leading 1's from messing your end result:

 uint a1 = _PHONE_;
 uint a2 = _PHONE_;
 long x = (long)((ulong)a1 * (ulong)4294967296 + (ulong)a2);

The "endian-ness" of the platform should be hidden by .Net, so as far as I know the simple solution using shifts should work...

At first I thought that you were wrong, but then I saw the err of my thinking. Their memory footprints are different, but the actual operation is math based, and is done in registers, and the storage mechanism doesnt affect the process at all as we are not operating over memory locations as we used to ages ago. So yes, I stand corrected, the below formula will work on both systems (cast is still needed to prevent negative i1 from messing up the result)
long l2 = (long)((ulong)i1 << 32 | i2);
That being said, what little-endian systems support .NET I havent heard of any yet...

Clarice Lispector - Biography
Clarice Lispector (_PHONE_) was a Brazilian novelist and short story writer. Her innovation in fiction brought her international renown. References to her literary work pervade the music and literature of Brazil and Latin America.
Clarice Lispector was born in Chechelnyk, Podolio, Ukraine on the ninth of December 1920. She was the youngest daughter of a Jewish family. They were targeted during pogroms that happened during the political turmoil of the early twentieth century. Clarice Lispector's older sister Elisa would write about these experiences in her novel No Exilio. After the destruction and instability of Ukraine in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Civil War, the family fled to Romania.
From Romania, the Lispectors would sail to Brazil in 1922. Clarice Lispector's mother had family who lived there. She was still very young when her family relocated to Maceió, Alagoas in the northeast of Brazil. On arriving in their new homeland, the children were to receive new names. Lispector's first name had been Chaya before she was renamed Clarice. Her mother health deteriorated prompting a move to the larger community of Recife, Pernambuco. Lispector's mother, finally, passed away in 1930.
Clarice Lispector was educated at the Colégio Hebreo-Idisch-Brasileiro. The school offered normal educational sources in addition to offering Hebrew and Yiddish language courses. The Ginásio Pernambucano admitted Lispector in 1932. This institution was the most academically respected in the region. In 1933, Clarice Lispector encountered Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf. This novel convinced Clarice Lispector that she was meant to write.
In 1935, the remainder of Clarice Lispector's immediate family moved to Rio de Janeiro. Her father hoped that by moving to the capital he would have more business opportunities. She would enter the Law School of the University of Brazil in 1937. During this period of education, Lispector would publish pieces of journalism for Agência Nacional and A Noite. She also wrote short fiction. Her first piece of short fiction,"Triunfo", was published by the journal Pan in 1940. This same year, Clarice Lispector's father would die from complications from a medical procedure.
Clarice Lispector published her Perto do Coração Selvagem in 1943 when she was the tender age of twenty-three. This novel recounts the inner life of Joana. The style of this book was very innovative. The next year she was awarded the Graça Aranha Prize for the best first novel. Many felt she had given Brazillian literature a unique voice in the larger context of Portuguese literature. Her examination of the internal lives of her characters was reminiscent of the style of Virginia Woolf and James Joyce.
In 1944, Clarice Lispector married Maury Gurgel Valente, a young Brazillian diplomat. To complete the legal obligations for the marriage, Clarice Lispector was required to become nationalized. Valente moved the couple to Belem in northern Brazil. He worked with foreign nationals who were using Brazil as a base of operations for the military actions of World War II.
In 1944, the couple traveled to Naples, Italy for Valente's work. He was stationed at the Brazilian Consulate. This city was the center of operations for the Brazilian soldiers who were fighting against the Nazis. For the next fifteen years, Clarice Lispector traveled throughout the United States and America. While in Italy, Lispector became acquainted with Giuseppe Ungaretti. The Italian poet would translate excerpts of her first novel. Giorgio de Chirico painted her portrait. But perhaps her most significant action was that she finished the O Lustre.
In 1946, Clarice Lispector and her husband would move to Bern, Switzerland after a short trip to Brazil. Clarice Lispector found life in Switzerland suffocatingly boring. Over the course of their residence in Switzerland, her boredom deteriorated into depression. Despite her melancholy, Clarice Lispector was able to compose her third novel A cidade sitiada. In 1948, Clarice Lispector gave birth to Pedro Gurgel Valente.
In A cidade sitiada or The Besieged City Clarice Lispector recounts the story of Lucrécia Neves as her life relates to the growth of São Geraldo. Lispector utilizes metaphors of sight as a unifying trope. In contrast to her normal glowing reviews, her third novel was unloved.
In 1949, Clarice Lispector and her family returned to Brazil. They lived in Rio de Janeiro for a year before moving to Torquay, Devon. Her husband was appointed a delegate to the General Agreement of Tariffs and Trade. The family remained in England for most of 1951. However while in London, Clarice Lispector had a miscarriage, prompting a return to Brazil.
Clarice Lispector's Alguns contos was published in 1952 when she had returned to Rio de Janeiro. The Ministry of Education and Health was the organ through which this slim bolume was published. She would later use much of this material for her novel Laços de família published 1961. Lispector began to write for a newspaper Comício. For this newspaper she wrote under the name Teresa Quadros.
During the fall of 1952, Clarice Lispector and her family relocated once again. This time the family moved to the capital of the United States, Washington D.C. The family would remain in this city for seven years. During this time she became an intimate friend with Erico Verissimo, another Brazillian writer. The Rio de Janeiro journal Senhor published many of Lispector's pieces of short fiction during this period.
Life as a diplomat's wife made Clarice Lispector miserable. The years away from her family made her feel increasingly lonely. In 1959, Lispector with her children returned to Brazil. She wrote her most influential novels including The Passion According to G.H. as well as Family Ties (or Laços de família).
After returning to Brazil, Clarice Lispector faced economic hardships. She strove to get a publisher interested in Family Ties. The book incorporated much of the short fiction that Clarice Lispector had written before 1960. Many view this work as one of the quintessential Brazilian short fiction.
A paixão segundo G.H or The Passion According to G.H. has become one of the most famous books of Clarice Lispector's career. The book is viewed by many to represent her finest and most groundbreaking work. In this work, Clarice Lispector recounts the story of a wealthy woman who has a transcendental experience after confronting a cockroach.
In 1966, Clarice Lispector was injured. She had taken a pill to help her sleep. When she passed out, Lispector was still holding a lit cigarette. The burn was so severe that doctors considered complete amputation of her hand. For the next eleven years, Clarice Lispector wrote despite her pain.
In 1967, Clarice Lispector released O Mistério do coelho pensante translated into English as The Mystery of the Thinking Rabbit. This was her first attempt at writing a book for children. She also returned to writing newspapers columns. This time she wrote for Jornal do Brasil. Many of these publications were gathered into a collection after her death called A Descoberta do mundo or The Discovery of the World.
The following year, Clarice Lispector took part in the protests against the military rule of Brazil. She continued writing both fiction and pieces of journalism. She started conducting interviews for the magazine Manchete. In the years that followed, she began to paint. She also translated the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Oscar Wilde.
The First World Congress of Sorcery in Bogota invited Clarice Lispector to attend in 1975. A translation of her story "The Egg and the Hen" was read at the convention. This story was chosen for its mixture of occult and spiritual elements.
In 1977, Clarice Lispector published A Hora da estrela or The Hour of the Star. This novel examines poverty and power relationships in Brazil. This was also the year that Clarice Lispector succumbed to ovarian cancer.

In Jordan there is considerable interest in the development and production of nanotechnology; where many institutes were established such as: "Nanotechnology Research Center "at the Jordan University of Science and Technology / Irbid, and Hamdi Mango Center for Scientific Research at the University of Jordan in Amman, in addition to the Royal Scientific Society. There are also many different efforts in Jordanian universities in scientific research on nanotechnology. At least, 200 scientific publications were published in the field of nanotechnology.
Currently, no accurate statistical information is available on the number of industrial facilities that uses nano-materials in their industries due to the following: 1 - The recent development of nanomaterials is not well understood or recognized in statistical terms. 2 - Jordanian factories use imported raw materials in the form of nano-particles. 3 – The lack of sufficient awareness and development of nanomaterials. 4 - The raw materials containing ultrafine particles are more expensive than the usual raw materials.
1- A primary components for the manufacture of paints (calcium carbonate, kaolin, bentonite). The pharmaceutical industry and cosmetics. 2 - as a product of the mining industries such as: Jordanian phosphate. Cement. Roack and Stone quarries Marble and granite
Currently, there are no rules or legislation in Jordan dealing with nano-materials, but in principle these materials can be subjected under the laws and legislation for chemicals.
At this moment, poor activities and responsibilities regarding to the nanomaterials and nanotechnology issues been carried out by different local and national authorities such as Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Industry and trading, Jordan Institution for Standards and Metrology, research institues and universities. This is due to the lack of information and knowledge regarding nanomaterials manegment. However, these authorities will be more focused and active if this issue got a higher concern at the national level at recent time, these responsibilities can be summarized as bellow: - Establishing a database about nano-materials used, existing locally, imported as well as the users. - Control of products containing nano-particles, whether imported or locally produced. - Develop guidelines to deal safely with this technology. - Development of legislation for the use of these nano-materials in Jordan. - Disposal of waste resulting from dealing with this technology in environmentally safe ways.
Due to lack of experince and poor information about nanomaterials and nanotechnology, the situation for the non state sector is similar to the government sector as mentioned above., however, the expectation from this sector can be addressed as follows: - Educate citizens, especially workers in various sectors that use nanotechnology. - Contribute to the support and development of scientific research on nanotechnology
Some parties outside the government sector plays an important role in the management of nanomaterials such as: 1 - University of Jordan - Hamdi Mango Center for Scientific Research Was created at the University of Jordan in 1999 by a generous donation from the late Ali Mango. in the year 2009, the center starts to fund contribute to the scientific research in nano fields. - The College of Science at the University of Jordan is one of the important research centers in the Kingdom and especially in the field of nanotechnology, this is due to availability of human resources as well as the scientific instruments, such as: Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FEI), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), XRD, XRF and Xray single crystal. 2 - University of Science & Technology In 2009, the University of Science and Technology began the initial steps to establish a Nano-Technology Center in collaboration with the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign U.S. This center will serve three main purposes: - Create a scientific base of research in the fields of nanotechnology - Establish joint programs in research, development and innovation - Establish cooperation with companies and industrial enterprises to produce and develop products for the local and global markets. 3- Atomic Energy Commission: Electron accelerator project (SESAME Synchrotron) was built in Allan, Salt where more than 80% of infrastructure and beam lines were completed. This device is used to diagnose the characteristics of optical, electronic and molecular structure of the nanomaterials used in various fields. In addition, the body is found in devices used to diagnose the constituent elements of nanomaterials.
Despite the limited material resources and logistics capabilities, researchers were able to use the techniques of Jordanians Nanotechnology in the following applications:1 - computer operations: registration of a patent relating to detailed designs for a new computer circuits critical technology uses carbon tubes nanometric "Carbon Nanotubes" within nanometric dimensions. The importance of this research in the manufacturing of robotic devices nanomedical for possible future use in the fields of medical and military 2 - Systems Biology: Record a research team Jordanian patents in the field of Nanotechnology and its applications in systems biology. Thanks to the invention group was able to produce micro-magnetic multiple items from the fly ash from the hearths, iron and steel plants have been used in the rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria in water sources and disposal of them, and characterized the results are promising in the fightagainst cancer.
Nano-particles waste in Jordan can be divided into two categories: - Natural sources, such as volcanoes, storms, desert sand - Artificial sources, such as cement plants, industrial and mining factories, Nano-particles waste can present in air, soil and water. - Waste present Air: Recently, monitoring of gaseous air pollutants and dust particle are in the micron size only, detection of nano-waste is not listed under any international or local standards for air quality. Ministry of Environment is currently monitoring air quality through three projects are distributed as follows: - Study the levels of gases in the area of Jordan (Al-Zarka)) to monitor plant emissions of heat-emitted from AlHussein electric Station and Alkhirbeh Alsamra. - There are five monitoring stations in industrial sites: 1 - Amman 2 - Balqa (Cement Fuheis) 3 - Alzarka (Alrusaifeh) 4 - Mafraq 5 - Tafila (Alrashadih). - There are three monitoring stations in the industrial cities: Karak, Amman and Irbid. - The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority is currently monitoring all levels of toxic emissions - Waste present in the soil: There is no tests in Jordan to monitor the contamination of soil in the nano-scale level. The nano waste in the soil might be from the sediment that comes from the air or the irrigation, rainfall and floods - Waste present in the water: There is no standard specification for measuring nanomaterials in water. The Ministry of Environment in the collaboration with the Ministry of Water, is currently monitoring water quality in the Jordan in five sectors:: - Ground water, springs and artesian wells. - Floods and valleys of a flood. - Water Dams - Traditional water (domestic wastewater) by observing the 33 stations of which 22 are under the authority of water and 11 belonging to the private sector. - Industrial waste water:
Jordan still in the initial phases of dealing with nanotechnology, it requires time and infrastructure as well as technical and financial resources in order to achieve an advanced level in the world. Therefore it requires encouraging studies and research for measuring the severity of nanomaterials on human health and their impact on the environment different. There must be technical laws that enable all stakeholders to monitor nanomaterials and to ensure their compliance with the Jordanian standards. 1. There is no national umbrella to manage and coordinate national efforts in this area. 2. Jordan lacks legislation on safe management and handling of nanomaterials 3. lack of sufficient awareness of nanotechnology for the working staff in relevant government agencies (Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Customs Department of Jordan, etc...) 4. lack of sufficient awareness and knowledge of workers in the private sector, whether factories or companies. 5. lack of a database of nano-materials with the relevant authorities to enable them to deal easily with this technique.
1. Establish a national umbrella to manage and coordinate national efforts in the field of nanotechnology 2. Amending legislation and laws in line with the development of nanotechnology. 3. Launching awareness workshops for technical staff operating in the relevant authorities (Standards and Metrology, founder of the Food and Drug Administration, the Customs Department of Jordan) 4. to set up proper rules that determine the technical specifications of nano-materials. 5. to establish real database on products containing nanoparticles. 6. Support national capacity to deal with nanotechnology.

6. Confirm the working temperature range
The temperature of the measuring medium should be within the working temperature range of the transmitter. If used over temperature, it will produce a larger measurement error and affect the service life; in the production process of the pressure transmitter, the temperature influence will be measured and compensated to ensure the measurement error caused by the temperature of the product is within the range of the accuracy level. In high temperature occasions, you can consider choosing a high-temperature pressure transmitter UPB8 or adopting auxiliary cooling measures such as installation of condensers and radiators.
7. Confirm the compatibility of the measuring medium and the contact material
In some measurement occasions, the measurement medium is corrosive. At this time, it is necessary to select materials compatible with the measurement medium or perform special processing to ensure that the transmitter is not damaged.
8. Confirm the process connection
The company's products use threaded connection (G1/2", G1/4", M20×1.5) as the standard interface form. If customers need other special interface forms, they can be designed and produced according to customer requirements.
9. Confirm the power supply and output signal
The product adopts DC power supply and provides a variety of output signal options, including 4～20mA, 0～5VDC, 1～5VDC, 0～10mA and 232 or 485 digital output.
10. The pressure transmitter UPB1 confirms the on-site working environment and other needs to know whether there is vibration and electromagnetic interference, etc., and provide relevant information when selecting the model to take corresponding treatment.

A new experimental vaccine that aims to cure alcoholism will give anyone who has been vaccinated an immediate and head-splitting hangover after just one sip of booze.
According to the Daily Mail, scientists at the University of Chile have spent a year developing the experimental drug as a way to combat alcoholism.
The shot is effective for about six months to a year and works by speeding up the hangover process. The vaccine works by sending a biochemical message to the liver to stop it from expressing the genes that metabolize alcohol.
The liver normally turns alcohol into acetaldehyde, a hangover-inducing organic chemical compound that is then broken down by a metabolizing enzyme.
If a person who's received the shot tries to drink alcohol, they will almost instantaneously experience severe nausea, accelerated heartbeat and general discomfort, according to the Daily Mail. Essentially, the vaccine shot is to get alcoholics to associate drinking with bad side-effects and misery instead of fun, relaxation or as a way of coping with life problems.
What's more, there's no going back. Once a person has been vaccinated, he or she must stop drinking for at least half a year to avoid experiencing the immediate nightmare effects.
Researchers said that preclinical trials using mice to determine the correct dosing of the new vaccine is expected to begin next month. Investigators hope that the results of the preclinical trials will lead to human clinical trials this coming November.
Dr. Juan Asenjo, director of the Institute for Cell Dynamics and Biotechnology at Universidad de Chile, told The Santiago Times that while the new drug is not a cure-all, it serves as an important first step.
"People who end up alcoholic have a social problem; a personality problem because they're shy, whatever, and then they are depressed, so it's not so simple," Asenjo said, according to The Santiago Times. "But if we can solve the chemical, the basic part of the problem, I think it could help quite a bit."
The doctor believes that the new vaccine could potentially help millions of people around the world.
"In Chile, according to the most recent 2011 study from the World Health Organization, one in 15 men have an alcohol use disorder."
According to the latest government statistics from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, nearly 17.6 million American adults are alcoholics or have alcohol problems. People with alcoholism typically have a strong need to drink, cannot control their alcohol intake once they've begun drinking, experience withdrawal symptoms if they stop drinking and need to drink a lot to feel the "high" of alcohol.
Alcoholism can carry many serious health risks like cancer, organ damage and birth defects. Drinking can also increase the risk of death from car accidents and other injuries as well as the risk of homicide and suicide.
Asenjo says that if the vaccine passes clinical trials, it could have a "worldwide impact".
"If it works, it's going to have a worldwide impact, but with many vaccines one has to test them carefully. I think the chances that this one will work are quite high," he said.
Asenjo said that the idea of the new vaccine came from Asia, where between 15 and 20 percent of the East Asian population have a mutation that inhibits the breakdown of alcohol in their bodies.

In this study, a Simulink model based on fundamental thermodynamic principles to predict the dynamic and steady state performance in a twin shaft Industrial Gas Turbine (IGT) has been developed. The components comprising the IGT have been implemented in the modelling architecture using a thermodynamic commercial toolbox (Thermolib, EUtech Scientific Engineering GmbH) and Simulink environment. Measured air pressure and air temperature discharged by compressor allowed the validation of the modelling architecture. The model assisted the development of a computational tool based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for compressor fault diagnostics in IGTs. It has been demonstrated that modelling plays an important role to predict and monitor gas turbine system performance at different operating and ambient conditions.
