Purpose
TUCKER analysis for n-way arrays.
Synopsis
model = tucker(x,ncomp,initval,options) %tucker model
pred = tucker(x,model) %application
tucker(model) % provides a table of variances per component.
Description
TUCKER decomposes an array of order K (where K ≥ 3) into the summation over the outer product of K vectors. As opposed to PARAFAC every combination of factors in each mode are included (subspaces). Missing values must be NaN or Inf.
Inputs
 - x = the multi-way array to be decomposed and
 - ncomp = the number of components to estimate, or
 - model = a TUCKER model structure.
Note that when specifying (ncomp), it must be a vector with K elements specifying the number of components for each mode.
Optional Inputs
 - initval = if initval is the loadings from a previous TUCKER model are then these are used as the initial starting values to estimate a final model,
if initval is a TUCKER model structure then mode 1 loadings (scores) are estimated from x and the loadings in the other modes (see output pred),
 - options = discussed below.
Outputs
 - model = a structure array with the following fields:
 - modeltype: 'TUCKER',
 - datasource: structure array with information about input data,
 - date: date of creation,
 - time: time of creation,
 - info: additional model information,
 - loads: 1 by K+1 cell array with model loadings for each mode/dimension,
 - pred: cell array with model predictions for each input data block,
 - tsqs: cell array with T2 values for each mode,
 - ssqresiduals: cell array with sum of squares residuals for each mode,
 - description: cell array with text description of model, and
 - detail: sub-structure with additional model details and results.
 - pred = is a structure array, similar to model, that contains prediction results for new data fit to the TUCKER model.
Options
options = a structure array with the following fields:
 - display: [ {'on'} | 'off' ], governs level of display,
 - plots: [ {'final'} | 'all' | 'none' ], governs level of plotting,
 - waitbar: [ {'on'} | 'off' ], governs use of waitbar while calculating,
 - weights: [], used for fitting a weighted loss function (discussed below),
 - stopcrit: [1e-6 1e-6 10000 3600] defines the stopping criteria as [(relative tolerance) (absolute tolerance) (maximum number of iterations) (maximum time in seconds)],
 - init: [ 0 ], defines how parameters are initialized (see PARAFAC),
 - line: [ 0 | {1}] defines whether to use the line search {default uses it},
 - algo: this option is not yet active,
 - blockdetails: 'standard'
 - missdat: this option is not yet active,
 - samplemode: [1], defines which mode should be considered the sample or object mode and
 - constraints: {kx1 cell}, defines constraints on parameters (see below). The first three cells define constraints on loadings whereas the last cell defines constraints on the core.
CONSTRAINTS
The options field constraints is used to employ constraints on the parameters. It is a cell array with number of elements equal to the number of modes of the input data X. Each cell contains a structure array with the following fields:
 - nonnegativity: [ {0} | 1 ], a 1 imposes non-negativity.
 - unimodality: [ {0} | 1 ], a 1 imposes unimodality (1 local maxima).
 - orthogonal: [ {0} | 1 ], constrain factors in this mode to be orthogonal.
 - orthonormal: [ {0} | 1 ], constrain factors in this mode to be orthonormal.
 - exponential: [ {0} | 1 ], a 1 fits an exponential function to the factors in this mode.
smoothness.weight: [0 to 1], imposes smoothness using B-splines, values near 1 impose high smoothness and values close to 0, impose less smoothness.
 - fixed.position: [ ], a matrix containing 1's and 0's of the same size as the corresponding loading matrix, with a 1 indicating where parameters are fixed.
 - fixed.value: [ ], a vector containing the fixed values. Thus, if B is the loading matrix, then we seek B(find(fixed.position)) = fixed.value. Therefore, fixed.value must be a matrix of the same size as the loadings matrix and with the corresponding elements to be fixed at their appropriate values. All other elements of fixed.value are disregarded.
 - fixed.weight: [ ], a scalar (0 ? fixed.weight ? 1) indicating how strongly the fixed.value is imposed. A value of 0 (zero) does not impose the constraint at all, whereas a value of 1 (one) fixes the constraint.
 - ridge.weight: [ ], a scalar value between 0 and 1 that introduces a ridging in the update of the loading matrix. It is a penalty on the size of the esimated loadings. The closer to 1, the higher the ridge. Ridging is useful when a problem is difficult to fit.
 - equality.G: [ ], matrix with N columns, where N is the number of factors, used with equality.H. If A is the loadings for this mode then the constraint is imposed such that GAT = H. For example, if G is a row vector of ones and H is a vector of ones (1's), this would impose closure.
 - equality.H: [ ], matrix of size consistent with the constriant imposed by equality.G.
 - equality.weight: [ ], a scalar (0 ? equality.weight ? 1) indicating how strongly the equality.H and equality.G is imposed. A value of 0 (zero) does not impose the constraint at all, whereas a value of 1 (one) fixes the constraint.
 - leftprod: [0], If the loading matrix, B is of size JxR, the leftprod is a matrx G of size JxM. The loading B is then constrained to be of the form B = GH, where only H is updated. For example, G may be a certain JxJ subspace, if the loadings are to be within a certain subspace.
 - rightprod: [0], If the loading matrix, B is of size JxR, the rightprod is a matrx G of size MxR. The loading B is then constrained to be of the form B = HG, where only H is updated. For example, if rightprod is [1 1 0;0 0 1], then the first two components in B are forced to be the same.
 - iterate_to_conv: [0], Usually the constraints are imposed within an iterative algorithm. Some of the constraints use iterative algorithms themselves. Setting iterate_to_conv to one, will force the iterative constraint algorithms to continue until convergence.
 - timeaxis: [], This field (if supplied) is used as the time axis when fitting loadings to a function (e.g. see exponential). Therefore, it must have the same number of elements as one of the loading vectors for this mode.
 - description: [1x1592 char],
If the constraint in a mode is set as fixed, then the loadings of that mode will not be updated, hence the initial loadings stay fixed.

Dried Apricots
The Fall 2018 semester is less than 2 weeks away, and so what better time to talk to you about drying some Apricots. This is a very basic problem that I hope many of you can solve on your own. For those of you that cannot, I believe you will be able to understand the solution without too much difficulty.
The 133rd Riddle put out by The Riddler included the following Eternal question about percentages:
You loaded a drying shed containing 1,000 kilograms of apricots. They were 99 percent water. After a day in the shed, they are now 98 percent water. How much do the apricots weigh now?
First of all, you should try this problem on your own. I think you can get it. Before you do, however, at least get a guess. That is the point of the problem, since even I was a little surprised by the answer.
The Solution
I'll talk you through it first, so that you can perhaps follow how a mathematician would do it afterwards.
If 99% of 1000 kilograms is water, than 990 kilograms of the apricots is water, leaving 10 kilograms (1%) of what will eventually be the purely dried-out apricots. These are all the initial values prior to the apricots going in the shed.
Now, they are left in the shed for a day, and some of the water has evaporated out of the apricots. We need to understand that the total weight of the apricots and the weight of the water has both decreased by some amount (the water that evaporated). We also need to understand that the 10 kilograms of dried apricots to-be has not changed.
If we are given that the apricots are now 98% water we want to deduce that the 10 kilograms of dried apricots to-be now represents 2% of the entire weight, rather than the original 1%.
So, 2% of what is equal to 10? That can be quickly found by dividing 10 by.02, which gives you 500. The answer is 500 kg.
Wait, what? The weight decreased by half? Did I do this right?
Indeed, we have, as you can check the answer seeing that both 500-10=490 and 0.98*500 = 490.
A mathematician would have given the unknown and desired quantity of the weight of apricots after a day some variable name, like w. Then, she would have set up the equation .02w=10, and solved for w by dividing both sides by.02.

The Division for Planetary Sciences sadly announces that Michael J. Drake, Regents' Professor, director of the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory and head of the department of planetary sciences, died September 21st at The University of Arizona Medical Center-University Campus in Tucson, Ariz. He was 65.
Drake, who joined the UA planetary sciences faculty in 1973 and headed LPL and the planetary sciences department since 1994, played a key role in a succession of very high-profile space projects that garnered international attention for LPL and the University such as the Cassini mission to explore Saturn, the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer onboard NASA's Mars Odyssey Orbiter, the HiRISE camera onboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Phoenix Mars Lander. Drake was currently the principal investigator of the most ambitious UA project to date, OSIRIS-REx, a mission designed to retrieve a sample of an asteroid and return it to Earth.
Drake also was a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the Geochemical Society and the Meteoritical Society, and he was president of the latter two. He led a major undergraduate teaching effort in planetary sciences, even though the department was created as a graduate program.
He will be missed as a world-class scientist, a valued colleague and professor and a great contributor to Planetary Sciences.

Ethopia – (Ethos / Utopia)
Developing a string of Eco villages in the Mures Valley between Lipova and Savarsin.
Being developed by an American with 21 years experience in Romania and a life time of experience
in American communities.
Each community, i.e. eco village is being developed with the goal becoming self reliant and be developed within an existing rural village. Ethopia works with the villagers to develop produce and products, create marketing for the products, and establishing commercial businesses to provide a wider economic base.
The Ethopia village network will provide a wider base to provide enough production to develop a brand and make logistics more efficient. The creation of a model in each village will provide examples for the villagers to incorporate.
A Community Supported Agricultural Initiative is being developed in Arad to provide a market for Ethopia production and village production in general.
Each Ethopia village community begins with a house, garden and land with an extended family of 4 to 10 persons depending on the size of the house.

Some Ruggedness (DRS) Comparisons for Mountain Ranges
A natural question to ask is "is Mountain Range X more rugged than Mountain Range Y?" This is a bit of a slippery question, but ORS gives one way of answering such questions, by quantifying a certain measure of the ruggedness of a region.
We do this essentially by taking the average ORS value of each point in the region. This results in a measure of ruggedness, which we call domain relief and steepness (DRS), which rewards both relief and steepness. Click here for an old, but still valid, explanation of DRS. See the bottom of this page for acknowledgements.
NEW: Technical rough draft paper on RORS and DRS (ruggedness)
However, there is still the question of how large a region to select to represent the range in question, since ranges do not have precisely delineated boundaries. I have decided not to decide; rather, I present the data in graphical format, with ruggedness values calculated for various different versions of each range. (I also present tables below with the same data.) See below the first graph for a more detailed explanation of what these graphs mean.
NOTE: Most of these calculations use an old version of DRS (which we used to call simply "ruggedness", or "Rug"), which in turn used an old normalization of ORS (spire measure). The old version differs from the most recent version by up to 25%, in a way that depends on the steepness of the terrain. These DRS calculations remain qualitatively correct, but direct comparisons between these numbers and the ORS values for individual peaks are suspect. I plan to eventually update these DRS calculations to the new version of ORS.
NEW: A detailed workup of the Wasatch Range in Utah (using the most recent version of DRS)
A preliminary workup of Zion National Park in Utah (also using the most recent version of DRS)
Here is a comparison of some of the world's most rugged ranges.
Nepal Karakoram Pamir Alps SW BC Coast
Click on the name of a range in the legend box to see pictures of some of the regions displayed on this graph.
Here is how to read this graph and the others like it on this page. For example, let's look at the Nepal Himalaya. The data point at Area = 99200 km^2, Rug = 261m, indicates that if we look at all the possible subregions of Nepal with area 99200 km^2, the most rugged such region has a ruggedness (roughly, average spire measure) of 261m. This is a rather large interpretation of "The Nepal Himalaya," as you can see by the picture here.
If we focus down to a smaller size, and still look for the most rugged region, the average ruggedness will increase, since we are picking the best parts of the larger region. So for example, the data point at Area = 50300 km^2, Rug = 307m, indicates a fairly restrictive interpretation of "The Nepal Himalaya," which excludes much lowland and plateau terrain. And the data point at Area = 7500 km^2, Rug = 421m, just selects parts of the Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Mansiri, and Ganesh Himals, the very ruggedest parts of the Nepal Himalaya. At the left-hand extreme of the Nepal curve, the data point at Area = 1200 km^2, Rug = 471m represents just the Annapurna Himal, which turns out to be the ruggedest massif within the Nepal Himalaya, and probably the ruggedest massif in the world.
A similar story is true for all of the ranges on this graph and on all the graphs on this page: one can look at a large version of the range, encompassing everything one could define as being in that range, including much foothill terrain, but this will lead to a relatively low average ruggedness. Or one can look at smaller and smaller versions of the range, or subranges/massifs within the range, always selecting the most rugged region with a given size. These will have higher and higher average ruggedness as the size decreases, but they will be less representative of the range as a whole.
Further notes:
 1. Note that the area (x) axis uses a logarithmic scale.
 2. When the graph of one range (say the Karakoram) is always above that of another range (say the Pamir) then we can confidently say that the first range is more rugged. If the curves are close (e.g the Karakoram and the Nepal Himalaya) or cross each other, we can't judge one or the other as the clear winner.
 3. Some ranges are bigger in area than others; e.g. the curve for the Pamir stops around 30,000 km^2 since the range is simply smaller than some of the others. Also, for some ranges I have not calculated ruggedness values for all possible areas. Here, the calculations for A < 10000 km^2 focus on the best part of a range, or even the single most rugged massif.
 4. Although I have not put explicit error bars on the plotted points, a difference of less than 5% is never significant. Also, the lines between the data points are simple linear interpolation, so they are not very precise.

of EEG-based ML/DL methods and statistical feature for seizure diagnosis, it is unclear what the advantages and limitations of these works are, which might preclude the advancement of research and development in the field of epileptic seizure diagnosis and appropriate criteria for selecting ML/DL models and statistical feature extraction methods for EEG-based epileptic seizure diagnosis. Therefore, this paper attempts to bridge this research gap by conducting an extensive systematic review on the recent developments of EEG-based ML/DL technologies for epileptic seizure diagnosis. In the review, current development in seizure diagnosis, various statistical feature extraction methods, ML/DL models, their performances, limitations, and core challenges as applied in EEG-based epileptic seizure diagnosis were meticulously reviewed and compared. In addition, proper criteria for selecting appropriate and efficient feature extraction techniques and ML/DL models for epileptic seizure diagnosis were also discussed. Findings from this study will aid researchers in deciding the most efficient ML/DL models with optimal feature extraction methods to improve the performance of EEG-based epileptic seizure detection.

Among these challenges is how to deal with problems where new categories constantly occur, and the datasets can dynamically grow. Most contemporary learning algorithms developed to this point are governed by the assumptions that all testing data classes must be the same as training data classes, often with equal distribution. Under these assumptions, machine-learning algorithms can perform very well, using their ability to handle large feature spaces and classify outliers. The systems under these assumptions are called Closed Set Recognition systems (CSR). However, these assumptions cannot reflect practical applications in which out-of-set data may be encountered. This adversely affects the recognition prediction performances. When samples from a new class occur, they will be classified as one of the known classes. Even if this sample is far from any of the training samples, the algorithm may classify it with a high probability, that is, the algorithm will not only be wrong, but it may also be very confident in its results. A more practical problem is Open Set Recognition (OSR), where samples of classes not seen during training may show up at testing time. Inherently, there is a problem how the system can identify the novel sound classes and how the system can update its models with new classes. This thesis highlights the problems of multi-class recognition for OSR of sounds as well as incremental model adaptation and proposes solutions towards addressing these problems. The proposed solutions are validated through extensive experiments and are shown to provide improved performance over a wide range of openness values for sound classification scenarios.

Some signs and symptoms of seizures include confusion, abnormal staring, and rapid, sudden, and uncontrollable hand movements. Epileptic seizure detection methods involve neurological exams, blood tests, neuropsychological tests, and neuroimaging modalities. Among these, neuroimaging modalities have received considerable attention from specialist physicians. One method to facilitate the accurate and fast diagnosis of epileptic seizures is to employ computer-aided diagnosis systems (CADS) based on deep learning (DL) and neuroimaging modalities. This paper has studied a comprehensive overview of DL methods exploited for epileptic seizures detection and prediction using neuroimaging modalities. First, DL-based CADS for the epileptic seizures detection and prediction using neuroimaging modalities are discussed. Also, descriptions of various datasets, preprocessing algorithms, and DL models which have been used for epileptic seizures detection and prediction have been included. Then, research on rehabilitation tools has been presented, which contains brain-computer interface (BCI), implantable, cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), hardware implementation of DL techniques on field-programmable gate array (FPGA), etc. In the discussion section, a comparison has been carried out between research on epileptic seizure detection and prediction. The most important challenges in epileptic seizures detection and prediction using neuroimaging modalities and DL models have been expressed. In addition, future work proposal in the fields of datasets, DL, rehabilitation, and hardware models has been proposed. The final section is dedicated to the conclusion and incorporates the most significant findings in this field.

RoboBlox is a 4X4 3D Blox artwork which comprises of a sculptural frieze, interactive artwork and a 'making of RoboBlox' video (see below). While the artwork is inspired by Thieri Foulc's 2D-Morpholo Tile Game and the Oulipo French Movement, the muse of RoboBlox's sculptural frieze is the windy Brisbane/Maiwar river. The artwork uses rules and constraints to trigger the creation of the blocks which also serves as the basis of interactive creative engagement between the public and artwork. To create the individual block designs, QUT Design Robotics and UQ researchers coded a novel computational workflow into an industrial robotic arm to hotwire-cut polystyrene into the desired designs.
The making of RoboBlox Video
As robots will be commonly used in design education and fabrication, this artwork is an exploration into finding novel ways to communicate robotic design processes. This is important as designers and architectural manufacturers are likely to rely on robotic systems for the production of design and architectural work in the coming future. In keeping with this approach, a video which explains the design and manufacturing process of RoboBlox was placed within the exhibition. It elaborates on the workflow where open-source plug-ins were used particularly to develop a web-based interactive design platform and code that translates 2D graphics into 3D forms. It further documents the eventual robotic fabrication of the frieze pieces.
RoboBlox was exhibited in Brisbane, Australia at:
- Brisbane Art Design (BAD) festival from 10 May – 11 August 2O19
- Robotronica 2019 on 18th August 2019.

New test for developers in Maine: climate change
Huge development around Moosehead Lake would create 500,000 tons of CO2 over 50 years, environmentalists say.
A plan to build thousands of new homes next to a lake in Maine's north woods faces an environmental test that may one day challenge developers nationwide: What's the carbon footprint of a new subdivision or land development?Skip to next paragraph
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
At hearings last month, Maine environmentalists unveiled for state regulators what is being called a first-in-the-nation study of the greenhouse-gas emissions expected from a huge development planned for Maine's Moosehead Lake. Some observers call it a new front in an emerging battle between environmentalists and developers that started in California two years ago.
"What we're asking in the [Maine] case, for the first time, is to consider the net carbon impacts of a major proposed development," says Michael Stoddard, deputy director of Environment Northeast, the Boston environmental research group that did the study.
So how much carbon does a development emit? Environment Northeast estimates that the plan to clear 14,000 acres of forest to build about 2,300 apartment units and homes could generate up to 500,000 metric tons of carbon-dioxide emissions over 50 years, if emissions of vehicles traveling to the distant site are included. The US emits some 12,000 times that amount in a single year.
The developer, Plum Creek Timber Co., disputes the analysis.
"Our plan in Maine is very sensitive to the carbon-footprint issue," says Kathy Budinick, spokeswoman for Seattle-based Plum Creek. "If our plan is approved, more than 400,000 acres of land will be permanently conserved in perpetuity for sustainable forestry, representing the second-largest conservation easement in US history. It's really quite a phenomenal carbon outcome."
At issue is not just the size of a development but the amount of driving it encourages. By being so far from major cities and accessible only by car, the Plum Creek project would produce, conservatively speaking, an additional 9,500 tons of emissions annually, according to the Environment Northeast study. That's the equivalent of putting an extra 1,850 vehicles on the road.
"It's our belief that we can't meet the nation's transportation goals for climate change just by improving automobile technology," says Alan Caron, president of GrowSmart Maine, an antisprawl group that lobbies for compact urban planning and public transportation systems and helped sponsor the Plum Creek study. "You have to pay attention to where things are located."
States eye impact of developments
Other states are beginning to scrutinize the climate impact of real estate developments.
At least 35 states have climate-action plans or are in the process of developing them, says Reid Ewing, executive director of the National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education at the University of Maryland. Of those, 17 states have set emissions targets for greenhouse gases.

Use of a Scribe
Use of a Scribe
May 23, 2019
We are hiring a scribe for the doctor because it will help improve his documentation. Is there anything we need to know about how to document this?
Yes, absolutely. This situation should be clearly delineated so a third party reviewer can identify the provider who performed the service, and the record should be signed by both parties (the scribe and physician).
Remember, a scribe does not ask the patient any questions, nor does a scribe do an examination of the patient. A scribe merely records the information obtained by a provider. Bottom line is that a nurse practitioner or physician assistant generally does not act as a scribe.
Example of statements:
I, (scribe name), am serving as a scribe to document services personally performed by (physician name), based on my observation and the provider's statements to me.
I, (physician name), attest that (scribe name) is acting in a scribe capacity, has observed my performance of the services, and has documented them in accordance with my direction.

A history of mafia in the united states of america
Visit Website Did you know? However, chaos and crime reigned across the island as the fledgling Italian government tried to establish itself. In the s, Roman officials even asked Sicilian Mafia clans to help them by going after dangerous, independent criminal bands; in exchange, officials would look the other way as the Mafia continued its protection shakedowns of landowners.
The government believed this arrangement would be temporary, lasting just long enough for Rome to gain control; instead, the Mafia clans expanded their criminal activities and further entrenched themselves in Sicilian politics and the economy. The Mafia became adept at political corruption and intimidated people to vote for certain candidates, who were in turn beholden to the Mafia.
Even the Catholic Church was involved with Mafia clans during this period, according to Raab, who notes that the church relied on Mafiosi to monitor its massive property holdings in Sicily and keep tenant farmers in line.
In order to further strengthen themselves, Sicilian clans began conducting initiation ceremonies in which new members pledged secret oaths of loyalty.
Of chief importance to the clans was omerta, an all-important code of conduct reflecting the ancient Sicilian belief that a person should never go to government authorities to seek justice for a crime and never cooperate with authorities investigating any wrongdoing.
However, in the s, the Mafia rose again when mob-backed construction companies dominated the postWorld War II building boom in Sicily. Over the next few decades, the Sicilian Mafia flourished, expanding its criminal empire and becoming, by the s, a major player in international narcotics trafficking.
The American Mafia, a separate entity from the Mafia in Sicily, came to power in the s Prohibition era after the success of Italian-American neighborhood gangs in the booming bootleg liquor business. Like the Sicilian Mafia, American Mafia families were able to maintain their secrecy and success because of their code of omerta, as well as their ability to bribe and intimidate public officials, business leaders, witnesses and juries.

However, during the s and s, prosecutors in America and Italy began successfully employing tough anti-racketeering laws to convict top-ranking mobsters.

Free Flight Airplanes are gliders that can fly for several minutes - from a handlaunch - when properly trimmed.
Free Flight Airplanes
Free Flight airplanes are non-motorized model airplanes that you hand launch or bungee launch. Once they reach altitude, they are pre-trimmed to fly in a gradual circular pattern, and if conditions are right, ie. thermal activity, they can stay aloft for several minutes and longer. When done correctly, a free-flight airplane is a thing of beauty to behold.

.6.0
findFiles :: [FilePath] -> String -> IO [FilePath] #
Search through the given list of directories for the given file and returns all paths where the given file exists.
The behavior is equivalent to findFilesWith. Details can be found in the documentation of findFilesWith.
Since: directory-1.2.1.0
findFile :: [FilePath] -> String -> IO (Maybe FilePath) #
Search through the given list of directories for the given file.
The behavior is equivalent to findFileWith, returning only the first occurrence. Details can be found in the documentation of findFileWith.
findExecutablesInDirectories :: [FilePath] -> String -> IO [FilePath] #
Given a name or path, findExecutable appends the exeExtension to the query and searches for executable files in the list of given search directories and returns all occurrences.
The behavior is equivalent to findFileWith using the given search directories and testing each file for executable permissions. Details can be found in the documentation of findFileWith.
Unlike other similarly named functions, findExecutablesInDirectories does not use SearchPath from the Win32 API. The behavior of this function on Windows is therefore equivalent to those on non-Windows platforms.
Since: directory-1.2.4.0
findExecutables :: String -> IO [FilePath] #
Search for executable files in a list of system-defined locations, which generally includes PATH and possibly more.
On Windows, this only returns the first ocurrence, if any. Its behavior is therefore equivalent to findExecutable.
On non-Windows platforms, the behavior is equivalent to findExecutablesInDirectories using the search directories from the PATH environment variable. Details can be found in the documentation of findExecutablesInDirectories.
Since: directory-1.2.2.0
findExecutable :: String -> IO (Maybe FilePath) #
Given the name or path of an executable file, findExecutable searches for such a file in a list of system-defined locations, which generally includes PATH and possibly more. The full path to the executable is returned if found. For example, (findExecutable "ghc") would normally give you the path to GHC.
The path returned by findExecutable name corresponds to the program that would be executed by createProcess when passed the same string (as a RawCommand, not a ShellCommand), provided that name is not a relative path with more than one segment.
On Windows, findExecutable calls the Win32 function SearchPath, which may search other places before checking the directories in the PATH environment variable. Where it actually searches depends on registry settings, but notably includes the directory containing the current executable.
On non-Windows platforms, the behavior is equivalent to findFileWith using the search directories from the PATH environment variable and testing each file for executable permissions. Details can be found in the documentation of findFileWith.
makeRelativeToCurrentDirectory :: FilePath -> IO FilePath #
Construct a path relative to the current directory, similar to makeRelative.
The operation may fail with the same exceptions as getCurrentDirectory.
makeAbsolute :: FilePath -> IO FilePath #
Convert a path into an absolute path. If the given path is relative, the current directory is prepended and then the combined result is normalized. If the path is already absolute, the path is simply normalized. The function preserves the presence or absence of the trailing path separator unless the path refers to the root directory /.
If the path is already absolute, the operation never fails. Otherwise, the operation may fail with the same exceptions as getCurrentDirectory.
Since: directory-1.2.2.0
canonicalizePath :: FilePath -> IO FilePath #
Make a path absolute, normalize the path, and remove as many indirections from it as possible. Any trailing path separators are discarded via dropTrailingPathSeparator. Additionally, on Windows the letter case of the path is canonicalized.
Note: This function is a very big hammer. If you only need an absolute path, makeAbsolute is sufficient for removing dependence on the current working directory.
Indirections include the two special directories . and .., as well as any symbolic links (and junction points on Windows). The input path need not point to an existing file or directory. Canonicalization is performed on the longest prefix of the path that points to an existing file or directory. The remaining portion of the path that does not point to an existing file or directory will still be normalized, but case canonicalization and indirection removal are skipped as they are impossible to do on a nonexistent path.
Most programs should not worry about the canonicity of a path. In particular, despite the name, the function does not truly guarantee canonicity of the returned path due to the presence of hard links, mount points, etc.
If the path points to an existing file or directory, then the output path shall also point to the same file or directory, subject to the condition that the relevant parts of the file system do not change while the function is still running. In other words, the function is definitively not atomic. The results can be utterly wrong if the portions of the path change while this function is running.
Since some indirections (symbolic links on all systems, .. on non-Windows systems, and junction points on Windows) are dependent on the state of the existing filesystem, the function can only make a conservative attempt by removing such indirections from the longest prefix of the path that still points to an existing file or directory.
Note that on Windows parent directories .. are always fully expanded before the symbolic links, as consistent with the rest of the Windows API (such as GetFullPathName). In contrast, on POSIX systems parent directories .. are expanded alongside symbolic links from left to right. To put this more concretely: if L is a symbolic link for R/P, then on Windows L\.. refers to ., whereas on other operating systems L/.. refers to R.
Similar to normalise, passing an empty path is equivalent to passing the current directory.
canonicalizePath can resolve at least 64 indirections in a single path, more than what is supported by most operating systems. Therefore, it may return the fully resolved path even though the operating system itself would have long given up.
On Windows XP or earlier systems, junction expansion is not performed due to their lack of GetFinalPathNameByHandle.
Changes since 1.2.3.0: The function has been altered to be more robust and has the same exception behavior as makeAbsolute.
Changes since 1.3.0.0: The function no longer preserves the trailing path separator. File symbolic links that appear in the middle of a path are properly dereferenced. Case canonicalization and symbolic link expansion are now performed on Windows.
copyFileWithMetadata #
Arguments
:: FilePath
Source file
-> FilePath
Destination file
-> IO ()
Copy a file with its associated metadata. If the destination file already exists, it is overwritten. There is no guarantee of atomicity in the replacement of the destination file. Neither path may refer to an existing directory. If the source and/or destination are symbolic links, the copy is performed on the targets of the links.
On Windows, it behaves like the Win32 function CopyFile, which copies various kinds of metadata including file attributes and security resource properties.
On Unix-like systems, permissions, access time, and modification time are preserved. If possible, the owner and group are also preserved. Note that the very act of copying can change the access time of the source file, hence the access times of the two files may differ after the operation completes.
Since: directory-1.2.6.0
copyFile #
Arguments
:: FilePath
Source filename
-> FilePath
Destination filename
-> IO ()
Copy a file with its permissions. If the destination file already exists, it is replaced atomically. Neither path may refer to an existing directory. No exceptions are thrown if the permissions could not be copied.
renamePath #
Arguments
:: FilePath
Old path
-> FilePath
New path
-> IO ()
Rename a file or directory. If the destination path already exists, it is replaced atomically. The destination path must not point to an existing directory. A conformant implementation need not support renaming files in all situations (e.g. renaming across different physical devices), but the constraints must be documented.
The operation may fail with:
 - HardwareFault A physical I/O error has occurred. [EIO]
 - InvalidArgument Either operand is not a valid file name. [ENAMETOOLONG, ELOOP]
 - isDoesNotExistError The original file does not exist, or there is no path to the target. [ENOENT, ENOTDIR]
 - isPermissionError The process has insufficient privileges to perform the operation. [EROFS, EACCES, EPERM]
 - isFullError Insufficient resources are available to perform the operation. [ED


What does 10Ah mean on a battery?
What does 10Ah mean on a battery?
Amp Hours: Should always be listed, typically 10 to 20 Amp Hours ( abbreviated " Ah " ) a measure of how many fixed number of Amps a battery can sustain for 1 hour.. ( C rate ). Or, double the amps for half the time.. Or half the amps for two hours.. etc.
Which is bigger mAh or Ah?
1000 mAh is equal to a 1 Amp Hour (AH) rating.
How many amps is a 10Ah battery?
10 Amps
The capacity of a battery is generally rated and labelled at the 1C Rate (1C current), this means a fully charged battery with a capacity of 10Ah should be able to provide 10 Amps for one hour.
How long will a 12V 10Ah battery last?
Up to 80% capacity for 2,000 cycles in recommended conditions. The typical SLA has 500 cycles. Dakota Lithium batteries last so long that the price per use is a fraction of traditional batteries.
How long will a 36v 10Ah battery last?
about 18 miles
A 36-volt 10-Ah battery pack has 360 watt hours (36 X 10 = 360). If you are nitty with your energy usage, each mile you travel will cost you about 20 watt hours. Therefore a 360 watt hour pack will get you about 18 miles. The range can vary widely depending on where and how you ride.
How many hours will a 10Ah battery last?
So, if a battery has 10 Ampere hour rating, it will last for 10 hours if it takes 1 Amperes of current.
How long does a 10Ah ebike battery last?
A 36-volt 10-Ah battery pack has 360 watt hours (36 X 10 = 360). If you are nitty with your energy usage, each mile you travel will cost you about 20 watt hours. Therefore a 360 watt hour pack will get you about 18 miles. The range can vary widely depending on where and how you ride.
How long will 35ah battery last?
12 V, 35 AH battery works out to be something like 420 Watt Hours. A 85 Watt fan would run for about 5 hours – in theory. Practically, it would be less. Assuming an Invertor and Battery efficiency of 75% and 80%, it would be about 3 to 3.5 hours.
What does 12V 10Ah mean?
mAh or Ah, means Milliamps Hour (mAh) or Amps Hour (Ah). This is a very misleading unit. When a battery is rated with mAh or Ah, it should always associated with a voltage. A 10Ah @ 12V battery capacity is bigger than a 10Ah @ 5V battery.
How many amps is 12Ah?
12 amps
So for a 12Ah battery 1C = 12 amps.
How many amps is 20000mah?
20 amps
The power pack is 20000 milliamp hours to convert to amps divide by 1000 so 20 amps. To convert amps to watts you multiply the voltage by the amps at 5 volts the pack is 100 watts. So the charge is 2.1 amps at 5 volts maximum.
How many amps is 10000mAh?
10 Ah
Milliampere-hours to ampere-hours table
Milliampere-hours (mAh) Ampere-hours (Ah)
1000 mAh 1 Ah
10000 mAh 10 Ah
100000 mAh 100 Ah
_PHONE_ mAh 1000 Ah
What is 20Ah battery?
If a battery is rated at 20Ah capacity at 20HR, it means that the battery can discharge 1 Amp per hour over that 20 hour period. A High Rate Battery will typically be rated at 10HR or less. So if a High Rate Battery that is 20Ah capacity at a 10HR, it would be able to discharge 2 Amps per hour over a 10 hour period.
What is 12AH battery mean?
The second is the Ampere-hour (Ah) rating of the battery which is 12 Ah for this particular battery. This means that if the discharge rate of the battery is given as 1 C (100% Capacity) Amps, the battery can provide a current of 12 Amps for 1 hour.

On day 3 of our FestiveNESS Design Advent Calendar, we explore the materiality of meteorites. From sites of ancient worship to apocalyptic films, the meteorite has been an object of interest and speculation for thousands of years. Despite the scientific investigations that accompany each meteorite fall, there is a lot of room left for speculation. Astral Bodies by the Madrid-based ENORME Studio delves into this world, considering how design can bring down-to-earth questions about this unknown territory.
Ph. Javier de Paz García
Astral Bodies by ENORME Studio
When a meteorite touches earth it is baptized with the name where it was found. This is the case for the meteorites Auria, Baroña, Cervo, Ézaro, Allariz, Herbón, Elviña, Sálvora, and Trevinca. They represent the places in Galician geography where astral bodies have landed. It is also the starting point for each meteorite found in the exhibition. Created using fibracolour, a DM colored in mass that provides aesthetic and functional novelties, the colors that make up each body help to tell the story of the singular traces that mark their histories.
Auria is the meteorite that has fallen in the city of Ourense, hence its composition of yellow and black Fibracolour that is reminiscent of the ancient Roman excavations of the city. On the shore of the Atlantic Ocean lies the Castro of Baroña, one of the oldest Celtic settlements in Galicia. Another meteorite takes the name of this millennial site and is inspired by its different heights and infinite views. Also on the coast is Cervo, a small town full of color and vitality which gives its name to a meteorite composed of red, gray, anthracite gray, and black Fibracolour.
The gray Fibracolour, together with the Terracota Nova melamine design, are the protagonists of Ézaro, one of the meteorites with the most personality. Its colors transport the visitor to the cliffs and waterfalls of the area. Also from the province of A Coruña, Elviña is composed of many layers of gray Fibracolour, which give a monolith perspective to a piece full of forms and subtleties.
In Allariz the vivid and attractive colors of the multitude of gardens that flood the city as well as the Lila Hawaii melamine design are the inspiration to recreate this gray Fibracolour meteorite.
The talcum green and the black Fibracolour make up Herbón. The meteorite takes its name from this municipality of Padrón, where the production of peppers is what makes it stand apart.
Another new meteorite, named Sálvora Island, famous for its beaches, cliffs, and wildlife, is composed of black Fibracolour. It veneers in a natural way as found in the wood materials of Palisandro Mumbai, Kandy Ebony, and Lebanon Cedar.
Trevinca, the highest meteorite in the Astral Bodies exhibition, takes its name from the tallest mountain in Galicia. Composed of black Fibracolour, this piece is the center attention of this astral world.

NAME
Class::MakeMethods::Template::Universal - Meta-methods for any type of object
SYNOPSIS
 package MyObject;
 use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Universal (
 'no_op' => [ 'twiddle' ],
 'croak' => [ 'fail', { croak_msg => 'Curses!' } ]
 );

 package main;
 MyObject->twiddle; # Does nothing
 if ( $foiled ) { MyObject->fail() } # Dies with croak_msg
DESCRIPTION
UNIVERSAL META-METHODS
The following meta-methods and behaviors are applicable across multiple types of classes and objects.
Universal:universal
You can use any of these features in your meta-method interfaces without explicitly importing them.
Modifiers
 - -private
 Causes the method to croak if it is called from outside of the package which originally declared it.
 Note that this protection can currently be circumvented if your class provides the method_init behavior, or another subroutine that calls methods by name.
 - -protected
 Causes the method to croak if it is called from a package other than the declaring package and its inheritors.
 Note that this protection can currently be circumvented if your class provides the method_init behavior, or another subroutine that calls methods by name.
 - -public
 Cancels any previous -private or -protected declaration.
 - -self_closure
 Causes the method to return a function reference which is bound to the arguments provided when it is first called.
 For examples of usage, see the test scripts in t/*self_closure*.t.
 - -warn_calls
 For diagnostic purposes, call warn with the object reference, method name, and arguments before executing the body of the method.
Behaviors
 - attributes
 Runtime access to method parameters.
 - no_op.
 - croak.
 - method_init.
no_op
For each meta-method, creates a method with an empty body.
 no_op => [ qw / foo bar baz / ]
You might want to create and use such methods to provide hooks for subclass activity.
No interfaces or parameters supported.
croak
For each meta-method, creates a method which will croak if called.
 croak => [ qw / foo bar baz / ]
This is intended to support the use of abstract methods, that must be overidden in a useful subclass.
The -unsupported and -prohibited interfaces provide alternate error messages, or a custom error message can be provided using the 'croak_msg' parameter.
method_init
Creates a method that accepts a hash of key-value pairs, or a reference to hash of such pairs. For each pair, the key is interpreted as the name of a method to call, and the value is the argument to be passed to that method.
Example: After declaring the below method_init method, $self-init( foo=>123, bar=>456 );> is equivalent to $self-foo(123); $self->bar(456);>.
 Class::MakeMethods->make( 'method_init' => [ 'init' ] );
forward_methods
Creates a method which delegates to an object provided by another method.
Example:
 use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Universal
 forward_methods => [
 --target=> 'whistle', w,
 [ 'x', 'y' ], { target=> 'xylophone' },
 { name=>'z', target=>'zither', target_args=>[123], method_name=>do_zed },
 ];
Example: The above defines that method w will be handled by the calling w on the object returned by whistle, whilst methods x and y will be handled by xylophone, and method z will be handled by calling do_zed on the object returned by calling zither(123).
Parameters: The following additional parameters are supported:
target
Required. The name of the method that will provide the object that will handle the operation.
target_args
Optional ref to an array of arguments to be passed to the target method.
method_name
The name of the method to call on the handling object. Defaults to the name of the meta-method being created.

Title text: Billy Joel briefly detained
In the United States and Canada, the term multiple-alarm fire is used to categorize the level of response to fires by local authorities, for instance how many units responded to the alarm. The range typically only goes through a small number of levels: typically a one-alarm fire, two-alarm fire, and three-alarm fire, perhaps up to five or six alarms in some cities, though a ten-alarm fire did occur two months before the comic near where Randall lives.
In the comic, a newspaper front page is shown with its cover story reporting a "50,000-alarm" fire, with a picture of a factory on fire. The humor lies in the unusual use of the term. Instead of indicating the severity of the fire, the number merely indicates the number of alarms being manufactured or stored in the factory at the time of the fire. As indicated by the sound waves, or agitrons, shown in the image, at least some of those alarms appear to have been set off. It is unclear what the causal relationship between the alarms and the fire is. The presence of fire might have activated those alarms (e.g. if they are smoke detectors), the sounding of alarms might have caused the fire to start (e.g. due to workers' attention being diverted from other critical operations), or they might be unrelated events that happened at the same time.
The title text mentions the musician Billy Joel being detained briefly as a suspect for the fire. But he was quickly released, likely because he didn't start the fire, which is a reference to his song "We Didn't Start the Fire". In other words, Billy Joel's claim that he is not responsible for the fire at the alarm factory has been taken seriously enough for him to be released. Also, the reference is humorous because it compares the literal fire depicted in the factory to the metaphorical fire in people's hearts, in the song. (Or just ignores the fact that the song's fire was metaphorical, for the sake of the joke.)
The incident where Billy Joel got arrested for arson was earlier shown on a similar folded newspaper with only one line of text visible next to an image. This was in comic #4 of 821: Five-Minute Comics: Part 3.
This all fits together as the cover of the single is also a newspaper page with a picture of Billy Joel beneath a headline which is the title of the song. The column of text to the right of the picture is readable here. It is not easy to read it through as some of the text continues outside the image. (The text is a section of the lyrics for the song starting from "Richard Nixon" after the fourth chorus continuing in to the next chorus).
The lyrics of the song is also mentioned in 1775: Things You Learn.

Smart Phones Are Changing Real World Privacy Settings Thursday, May 10, 2012
TAU research finds that smart phone users develop new concepts of privacy in public spaces
With endless applications, high-speed wireless Internet access, and free messaging services, smart phones have revolutionized the way we communicate. But at what cost? According to researchers at Tel Aviv University, the smart phone is challenging traditional conceptions of privacy, especially in the public sphere.
Dr. Tali Hatuka of TAU's Department of Geography and Dr. Eran Toch of TAU's Department of Industrial Engineering have teamed to measure the impact of the smart phone phenomenon on privacy, behavioral codes, and the use of public space. Their early results indicate that although spaces such as city squares, parks, or transportation were once seen as public meeting points, smart phone users are more and more caught up in their technology-based communications devices than their immediate surroundings.
Smart phone users are 70 percent more likely than regular cellphone users to believe that their phones afford them a great deal of privacy, says Dr. Toch, who specializes in privacy and information systems. These users are more willing to reveal private issues in public spaces. They are also less concerned about bothering individuals who share those spaces, he says.
Inside a private bubble
Dr. Hatuka says that smart phones create the illusion of "private bubbles" around their users in public spaces. She also believes that the design of public spaces may need to change in response to this technology, not unlike the ways in which some public areas have been designated as "smoking" and "non-smoking." Dr. Toch also notes that smartphones and personal computing devices are becoming more "context-aware," adjusting themselves in terms of brightness and volume to the user's location and activity.
To examine how smart phones have impacted human interactions in public and private spaces, the researchers designed an in-depth survey. Nearly 150 participants, half smart phone users and half regular phone users, were questioned about how telephone use applied to their homes, public spaces, learning spaces, and transportation spaces.
While regular phone users continued to adhere to established social protocol in terms of phone use — postponing private conversations for private spaces and considering the appropriateness of cell phone use in public spaces — smart phone users adapted different social behaviors for public spaces. They were 50 percent less likely to be bothered by others using their phones in public spaces, and 20 percent less likely than regular phone users to believe that their private phone conversations were irritating to those around them, the researchers found.
Feeling lost without a phone
According to the researchers, smart phone users were also more closely "attached" to their mobile devices. When asked how they felt when they were without their phones, the majority of smart phone owners chose negative descriptors such as "lost," "tense," or "not updated." Regular phone users were far more likely to have positive associations to being without their phones, such as feeling free or quiet.
The next phase of the study will be a more in-depth analysis of how smart phone users incorporate this technology into their daily lives. It requires users to install an application that the researchers developed called Smart Spaces. The application is designed to track where the participants go over a three-week period and how they use their phones while there. This will give researchers a better idea of how smart phone users interact in both public and private spaces during the course of a typical day.
Dr. Hatuka and Dr. Toch believe that their complete findings can reveal clues about the future of public space and how it will be designed in order to meet the needs of those it serves. "We are entering a new phase of public and private spaces," says Dr. Hatuka, suggesting that physical spaces need to be redesigned as arenas which could enhance personal interaction.

text: Optical reflectance (OR) and electro-reflectance (ER) spectroscopies were employed to study the resonant optical properties of GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum wells based Resonant Bragg Structures (RBS) at excited states. The RBS samples have 60 periods of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well/barrier grown on semi-insulating GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy with slightly different thicknesses of well/barrier. We observed enhanced OR and ER features when exciton energy coincides with the energy of the Bragg reflection peak, a double resonance condition. Bragg peak can significantly be tuned by changing the angle of incidence of the light. Exciton energies can be tuned by changing the temperature, external electric field and the thickness of the quantum wells. By tuning the Bragg peak for double resonance in the RBS samples of different thicknesses, we observed the electro-reflectance features related to the transitions of x(e2-hh2), x(e2-hh1), x(e2-lh1), x(e2-hh3) and x(e1-hh3) excitons along with the sharp features of x(e1-hh1) and x(e1-lh1) ground state exciton transitions from the ER experiments. The excitonic transitions x(e2-hh1), x(e2-lh1) and x(e2-hh3) which are prohibited at zero electric field, were also observed due to the increased overlap of the electron and hole wave functions caused by the electric field; built-in electric field or applied DC bias.

The geometries, electronic structures, polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities of organic dye sensitizer 4-methoxybenzonitrile was studied based on Ab Initio HF and Density Functional Theory (DFT) using the hybrid functional B3LYP. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrum was investigated by Time Dependent DFT (TDDFT). Features of the electronic absorption spectrum in the visible and near-UV regions were assigned based on TDDFT calculations. The absorption bands are assigned to π→π* transitions. Calculated results suggest that the three excited states with the lowest excited energies in 4-methoxybenzonitrile is due to photoinduced electron transfer processes. The interfacial electron transfer between semiconductor TiO2 electrode and dye sensitizer 4-methoxybenzonitrile, is due to an electron injection process from excited dye to the semiconductor's conduction band. The role of nitro group in 4-methoxybenzonitrile in geometries, electronic structures, and spectral properties were analyzed.

This includes experimental, climatological, theoretical, modelling, and remote sensing studies.
The 13th European Polar Low Workshop will be hosted by the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD), Paris, France. Similar to previous workshops, we aim to bring together scientists and forecasters to present their latest work and recent findings on polar lows and related research. The idea is to share new knowledge and to encourage discussions on improving forecasting and understanding of polar lows and phenomena outlined above. The workshop will not have a registration fee!
Participants are invited to submit abstracts in all the above-mentioned areas by 18 December 2015.
We hope to see you in Paris in April 2016!


text: This chapter discusses the draft Hydrological Basin Plan (HBP) for the Guadalquivir river basin and its related Programme of Measures (PoM). It argues that the Guadalquivir draft HBP is a useful strategy for the achievement of sustainable water management because it details economic and technical measures to control demand whilst fulfilling waste water treatment objectives. The two main issues that define the Guadalquivir draft HBP are: reducing water demand; and investment in point pollution. The Guadalquivir draft HBP is an example of integration of traditional Spanish water planning institutions, mostly focused on hydrological planning, with the new demands arising from the implementation of the water framework directive (WFD) and its ecological objectives, as well as with the expected decline of water availability due to climate change. The HBP and PoM imply a significant increase in cost of services of water for both the urban and irrigation sectors.

Mountain, mist, waterfall
How much do we remember about the landscape, once we have left it?
A glimpse of water here, a mountain top appearing out of the cloud over there. We remember the sudden glimpses of light over the mountains, we remember the wet feet as we wade through the bog. These multiple exposure images were made in and around Torridon and Applecross during 2016.
I enjoy using my camera as my paint brush. Unworried by having to focus the camera and using deliberate camera movement there is great freedom to make images that capture the mood and weather of the day. Making multiple exposure digital images, is like applying layer upon layer as you would overlay paint. The layers for my digital photographs are taken on the same day, in the same landscape; to capture the sense of place, to hold onto a fleeting memory.
Traditionally multiple exposure images were made on film, in the camera. Now the layering can be done in comfort,sitting in front of the fire, using software. However, there is no extraordinary manipulation, adding of texture or 'photoshopping' in these images, only the laying of one photo on top of another.

Washington, Mar 19 : When it comes to recognising positive emotions like sensual pleasure, relief and achievement, there exists a strong cultural divide, according to researchers at University College London''s psychology department.
The scientists studied a range of non-verbal emotional vocalizations, such as screams and laughs, in two very different cultural groups.
They compared the responses of Westerners to those of the remote and culturally isolated semi-nomadic Himba people of Namibia.
And it was found that both groups recognised vocalizations expressing the six basic emotions - anger, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, and surprise.
This indicated that they, like facial expressions, are universally evolved functions.
However, when an additional set of positive emotions was introduced - achievement, sensual pleasure and relief - they were only reliably recognized by the Western subjects.
These newly discovered cultural variations suggested that the vocalization of some positive emotions might be learned socially, rather than representing products of evolution.
Describing the experiment as ''fascinating'' in her review, F1000 Faculty Member Argye Hills, of Johns Hopkins Medical Institute, said that the study "highlights the importance of considering a range of positive emotions in cross-cultural research."
The study has been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA. (ANI)


Streptococcus pyogenes pSM19035 requires dynamic assembly of ATP-bound ParA and ParB on parS DNA during plasmid segregation
 loading Checking for direct PDF access through Ovid
Abstract
The accurate partitioning of Firmicute plasmid pSM19035 at cell division depends on ATP binding and hydrolysis by homodimeric ATPase δ2 (ParA) and binding of ω2 (ParB) to its cognate parS DNA. The 1.83 Å resolution crystal structure of δ2 in a complex with non-hydrolyzable ATPγS reveals a unique ParA dimer assembly that permits nucleotide exchange without requiring dissociation into monomers. In vitro, δ2 had minimal ATPase activity in the absence of ω2 and parS DNA. However, stoichiometric amounts of ω2 and parS DNA stimulated the δ2 ATPase activity and mediated plasmid pairing, whereas at high (4:1) ω2:δ2 ratios, stimulation of the ATPase activity was reduced and δ2 polymerized onto DNA. Stimulation of the δ2 ATPase activity and its polymerization on DNA required ability of ω2 to bind parS DNA and its N-terminus. In vivo experiments showed that δ2 alone associated with the nucleoid, and in the presence of ω2 and parS DNA, δ2 oscillated between the nucleoid and the cell poles and formed spiral-like structures. Our studies indicate that the molar ω2:δ2 ratio regulates the polymerization properties of (δ•ATP•Mg2+)2 on and depolymerization from parS DNA, thereby controlling the temporal and spatial segregation of pSM19035 before cell division.

A secure and reliable potable water supply for the communities of Wandering River and Grassland
The Wandering River regional waterline is a 150-milimetre, 88-kilometre system that extends from Boyle to Wandering River via Grassland in Athabasca County.
Wandering River's existing water treatment plant was scheduled for demolition by the end of 2012, necessitating a new potable water supply source. The solution? A regional water system extension would enable a connection to the community of Grassland 55 kilometres to the south as well as the farming and acreage owners along the proposed system.
The system consists primarily of fusible polyvinyl chloride (FPVC) pipe. This represents the largest project by length of FPVC pipe directionally drilled and installed to date in North America. This was also the first regional waterline project in Alberta completed using a design-build delivery.
Directional drilling was used for the entire length as it presented several advantages including winter construction, reduced cleanup, and minimized disturbances to landowners. In fact, as the project was nearing completion, the owner shared with the design-build team the story of a local resident who was curious as to when construction was scheduled to commence!
With this project, Alberta embarked on a significant new chapter in the construction of potable water systems. Our team and the design-build team undertook this project with the understanding that success or failure here would directly impact future opportunities to carry forward the design-build methodology for municipal water systems. Through a committed team effort from the owners, operators, designers, contractors, sub-contractors, and others, this project was a huge success.

Due to phenomena such as urban heat islands, outdoor thermal comfort of the cities' residents emerges as a growing concern. A major challenge for mega-cities in changing climate is the design of urban spaces that ensure and promote pedestrian thermal comfort. Understanding pedestrian behavioural adaptation to urban thermal environments is critically important to attain this goal. Current research in pedestrian behaviour lacks controlled experimentation, which limits the quantitative modelling of such complex behaviour.
Combining well-controlled experiments with human participants and computational methods inspired by behavioural ecology and decision theory, we examine the effect of sun exposure on route choice in a tropical city. We find that the distance walked in the shade is discounted by a factor of 0.86 compared to the distance walked in the sun, and that shadows cast by buildings have a stronger effect than trees.
The discounting effect is mathematically formalised and thus allows quantification of the behaviour that can be used in understanding pedestrian behaviour in changing urban climates. The results highlight the importance of assessment of climate through human responses to it and point the way forward to explore scenarios to mitigate pedestrian heat stress.

Using the Toolbox
Using the Toolbox
The Toolbox is a sliding tree control that behaves much like Windows Explorer, but without grid or connection lines. Multiple segments of the Toolbox (called "tabs") can be expanded simultaneously, and the entire tree scrolls inside the Toolbox window. To expand any tab of the Toolbox, click the plus (+) sign next to its name. To collapse an expanded tab, click the minus (-) sign next to its name.
The Toolbox displays icons for items that you can add to projects. Each time you return to an editor or designer, the Toolbox automatically scrolls to the tab and item most recently selected. As you shift focus to a different editor or designer or to a different project, the current selection in the Toolbox shifts with you.
The Toolbox only displays items appropriate to the type of file you are working in. In an HTML page, for example, only the HTML and General tabs are available. In a Windows Form, every category of Windows Forms controls is displayed. No Toolbox items are displayed while editing Console applications, because they are typically designed without a graphical user interface., and on the target .NET Framework version.
The collection of available controls also depends on the .NET Framework version your project targets. By default, Visual Studio 2010 projects target the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile. This reduces the size of deployment packages by not requiring the entire .NET Framework for installation. If your project requires a control that is not supported by the Client Profile, you can set your project to target .NET Framework 4 by editing the project properties.
You can customize the Toolbox by rearranging items within a tab or adding custom tabs and items. For more information, see How to: Manage the Toolbox Window and How to: Manipulate Toolbox Tabs. To add or remove Toolbox items, use the Choose Toolbox Items Dialog Box (Visual Studio). Items that can be made available as Toolbox icons include components from the .NET Framework class library, COM components, controls for Windows Forms and Web Forms, HTML elements, and XML namespaces.
NoteNote
The actual component files on your computer are not affected when you add or remove icons from the Toolbox.
When you choose a different settings combination, the current Toolbox state is cleared. Choosing a different settings combination can change which Toolbox tabs are now available, and what items are displayed on a tab. For more information, see Working with Settings.

text: Radiocarbon analyses of carbonate materials provide critical information for understanding the last glacial cycle, recent climate history and paleoceanography. Methods that reduce the time and cost of radiocarbon (14C) analysis are highly desirable for large sample sets and reconnaissance type studies. We have developed a method for rapid radiocarbon analysis of carbonates using a novel continuous-flow accelerator mass spectrometry (CFAMS) system. We analyzed a suite of deep-sea coral samples and compared the results with those obtained using a conventional AMS system. Measurement uncertainty is <0.02 Fm or 160 Ryr for a modern sample and the mean background was 37,800 Ryr. Radiocarbon values were repeatable and in good agreement with those from the conventional AMS system. Sample handling and preparation is relatively simple and the method offered a significant increase in speed and cost effectiveness. We applied the method to coral samples from the Eastern Pacific Ocean to obtain an age distribution and identify samples for further analysis. This paper is intended to update the paleoceanographic community on the status of this new method and demonstrate its feasibility as a choice for rapid and affordable radiocarbon analysis.

The Endocrinology and Nutrition Unit of the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital (HUVR) wanted to evaluate the benefits of adding mobility to teleconsultation for patients with type 1 diabetes.
The teleconsultation system allowed patients to access their clinical reports, communicate with healthcare professionals and record information from their glucose meters and insulin pumps.
The Technological Innovation Group of the Virgen del Rocío Hospital together with the company Primum Health IT aimed to provide mobility to teleconsultation by configuring a mHealth project for the Virgen del Rocio University Hospital: a project called mTelesalud-Diabetes.
Primum Health IT is a company specializing in mHealth solutions. Its system allows remote monitoring of type I diabetes patients. The Primum solution has its own telemedicine platform.
This project presented the challenge of integrating the Telehealth platform of the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital with the external chronicle monitoring platform of Primum.
The messaging included general measurements such as blood pressure, weight and pulsations as well as glucose measurements and patient comments. In addition to the exchange of clinical information, the publication on a clinical wall that allowed communication between doctors and patients was to be implemented.
Caduceus brought its expertise in clinical systems integration and interoperability to ensure that information from the monitoring platform was available to hospital healthcare staff.
System integration had to meet certain technical requirements.
The information had to be encapsulated in the format ISO EN13606 based on archetypes. ISO EN13606 aims at semantic interoperability for the communication of Electronic Health Records (EHR). The standard establishes two models:
- Reference model: represents, independently of knowledge, the general components to represent any information of the EHR.
- Models based on archetypes: specify the structures defined by the reference model, modelling and restricting knowledge concepts.
The use of archetypes is utilized to encompass clinical concepts built on a reference model for electronic medical record information. This gives a semantic meaning to the data structure.
The two-way communication had to follow the IHE XDS (Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing) clinical documentation profile. This profile facilitates the registration, distribution and access of electronic health records among health organizations. To do this, a repository and a document register are defined. These documents are provided and consumed by participating organizations.
After analyzing the systems involved, it was decided to implement an interoperability solution based on Mirth Connect as the integration engine.
For the project, Mirth version 3.1.0 was used, on which the necessary channels were implemented to establish the exchange of ISO EN13606 according to IHE XDS profile. PostgreSQL was deployed as the integration database.
The solution developed by Caduceus was designed to integrate the HUVR telemedicine system with the mHealth platform of Primum.
