DIETCOST
The DIETCOST programme has been developed, using Python, to model the cost of healthy and current, less healthy population diets using combinations of a list of commonly consumed foods, a set of min and max quantity/serves constraints for each, and specified food group and nutrient intakes based on dietary guidelines (healthy diets) and nutrition survey data (current diets for different population groups). The programme has been applied in New Zealand as a case study for the total population, specific ethnic population groups and changes in cost over time.
The programme is available for other research groups and is supported by a DIETCOST manual. Let us know if you are interested in using the programme or require support. Please contact Stefanie Vandevijvere: _EMAIL_.

Solution To End Lynchings? Only Produce Female Calves Through Artificial Insemination, Says BJP Minister Giriraj Singh
Bobins Abraham
Bobins AbrahamUpdated on Sep 05, 2019, 16:23 IST
Union Minister for Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Minister Giriraj Singh seems to have found a solution for the lynching menace in the country in the name of cattle protection.
According to Singh, through artificial insemination, if we ensure that only female calves are born, incidents of lynchings will also end.
"In the near future, only female calves will be born through sex-sorted semen. Now, the cases of mob lynchings in the name of stray cattle won't be reported," Singh said.
Mob Lynching
Explaining the logic behind his suggestion Singh stated that people tend to abandon bull calves as they are a financial burden for the farmers and they later become stray cattle.
Earlier such animals used to be sold to slaughterhouses, but since most of the states banned cattle slaughter, the farmers end up dumping them on the streets.
Singh also suggested that female calves born using semen from genetically superior bulls will also improve fertility and increase milk production which will ensure that the farmers keep them longer and not abandon them when they become less productive.
Mob Lynching
Last week Singh had said that "with help of the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and Embryo Transplant, the unproductive livestock in the country will be utilized as surrogate mothers. The word 'factory' was used to explain these techniques to friends who pet cows and not to open political factories for people."
"We will use IVF technology from cows giving 20 litres milk, on cows which stop giving milk. We will bring a revolution," he had said.
Lynchings in the name of cow protection have been for long an issue in the country. Many, especially those from the Muslim community were trashed and even killed by the so-called cow vigilantes merely on the suspicion of cattle smuggling.
Mob Lynching
Another major problem states that have banned cattle slaughter are facing is the increasing number of stray cows. After most of the slaughterhouses were shut down due to the ban, farmers in states like UP began abandoning their unproductive cows on the streets. Fed up with the alarming number of stray cows attacking their crops, farmers in UP had resorted to locking cow in their hundreds inside government buildings like schools and hospitals, demanding that the government should take them away.

text: Recent evidence suggests that the timing of DNA replication is coordinated across megabase-scale domains in metazoan genomes, yet the importance of this aspect of genome organization is unclear. Here we show that replication timing is remarkably conserved between human and mouse, uncovering large regions that may have been governed by similar replication dynamics since these species have diverged. This conservation is both tissue-specific and independent of the genomic G+C content conservation. Moreover, we show that time of replication is globally conserved despite numerous large-scale genome rearrangements. We systematically identify rearrangement fusion points and demonstrate that replication time can be locally diverged at these loci. Conversely, rearrangements are shown to be correlated with early replication and physical chromosomal proximity. These results suggest that large chromosomal domains of coordinated replication are shuffled by evolution while conserving the large-scale nuclear architecture of the genome.

There is ample evidence from different research disciplines that location factors such as employment opportunities or the availability of amenities and facilities are a powerful predictor of settlement behaviour. Recent research suggests that citizens' mean personality traits could be an additional predictor of where young people settle. We therefore explore 1) the extent to which recent graduates in the Netherlands are geographically clustered with respect to five different personality traits, 2) whether the geographical clustering of graduates is intensified as they grow older, 3) how regional environmental characteristics are related to personality traits, and 4) the extent to which personality traits play a role in graduates' location choices. Our results reveal a distinct geographical clustering of personality traits among the different regions in the Netherlands. We also show that this geographical clustering becomes more blurred as graduates age. The results furthermore show robust associations between personality traits and several environmental characteristics with respect to demographic, economic, health, political, sociocultural, crime, and religious outcomes. In addition, we show that personality traits play a role in graduates' location choices. Economic factors seem to have a larger impact in determining location choices than personality traits.

Water Released To Farmers In Klamath Basin
DATE: July 25, 2001
BACKGROUND: Interior Secretary Gale Norton announced July 24, 2001 that the federal government would release 75,000 acre feet of water from Upper Klamath Lake to farmers in the Klamath Basin Project. According to Norton, the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) has determined that the water level in the lake is higher than expected and therefore the extra water will be released as early as July 25. BOR had shut off water to the irrigation ditches earlier this spring to save the endangered sucker fish and threatened coho salmon.
TEN SECOND RESPONSE: It's nice to see the administration recognizing the importance of family farms in the scheme of the Endangered Species Act.
THIRTY SECOND RESPONSE: While the release of water may be too late for most farmers for this season, it shows that the administration recognizes the importance of the livelihood of its citizens in balance with nature. Now we need to take steps to amend the Endangered Species Act so people are considered as important as wildlife.
DISCUSSION: The amount of water to be released is about one sixth of the amount available to farmers during a normal season. Approximately 10,000 acre feet of water will be needed just to prime the canal system. (One acre foot of water covers one acre of land with water one foot deep.) Although the late release of water will not help most row crop farmers, it should provide enough moisture to livestock and wells and perhaps save alfalfa and hay crops, according to Norton.
Norton said that none of this water would make it downstream to the wildlife refuge where about 1,000 bald eagles over-winter.

Energy efficient system found in "walking" protein
October 11, 2005 – A protein called kinesin has a "walking" mechanism that is very energy efficient and could be used to develop future molecular-sized machines without worries about problems caused by heat, Japanese researchers said Monday, reports the Jiji Press.
Kinesin has been known as a nanometer-scale biological motor that transports various substances between cells and helps cell division. It produces eight-nanometer steps along microtubules and usually moves forward, though sometimes going backward.
Using a technique called "optical tweezers," the researchers, led by Osaka University Prof. Toshio Yanagida, discovered the mechanism of how kinesin sets its direction and walks one foot after another like humans.
Kinesin has sensors on its "feet" that determine which way the protein should go by interpreting thermodynamic information known as entropy, according to their report published online by Nature Chemical Biology yesterday.
The protein only consumes a very tiny amount of energy when it sets the direction, and requires no energy for a walk because it takes advantage of a phenomenon called Brown motion, in which surrounding water molecules that are moving randomly due to heat, hit kinesin's "legs" to eventually help them take steps forward.
"When you try to make highly integrated tiny devices like computer chips, you will find heat is a big problem," Yanagida said. "But further studying kinesin's walking mechanism, which does not produce heat but use it, could lead to a major breakthrough."

be used to switch between versions of the page below.
The overflow behavior of a header content area can differ depending on the type of contents displayed there. Facets would wrap, while a control like the visual filter (lab preview) would require a paging overflow.
When the header content is collapsed – either by clicking the title or by scrolling the page – a very condensed summary of the header content appears in the header title. The summary includes the following information:
- Icon (placed in front of the title)
- Most important attribute
- Filter criteria
It will be important for applications to define a meaningful string to summarize the header content.
There are currently a number of predefined floorplans that have been adapted to the dynamic page layout, such as the overview page, list page, initial page, work list, and object page.
All of them make use of the snapping header concept to allow for rich header content that can be hidden when required. In the page content area, there are different concepts for the different floorplans:
- The overview page features cards which, depending on their type, can display different contents and be arranged by the user.
- The page content of the list page usually consists of a table, chart, or combination of both. The same applies for the worklist, which is usually headed by a tab strip.
- In the object page, the content is organized into sections. Each section can be accessed using an anchor bar on top of the page, which doesn't scroll away. Each section can contain forms, tables, charts or other controls aligned to a grid of up to four columns, depending on the screen size.
Actions and Toolbars
The dynamic page layout features a more powerful concept to offer actions to the user. In general, we intend to bring actions closer to the element that they affect.
Therefore, we have introduced toolbars in tables and forms for their actions. Following the same logic, we introduced a toolbar in the header title for actions that belong to the page to indicate that these actions are global.
Global actions on page level could be:
- Request Access
- Change Status
All these actions affect the whole page and are not meant to finalize a certain state. Instead those actions belong to the object displayed on that page.
Initial page floorplan with a footer toolbar with the determining actions Save and Cancel.
In addition to the actions on the page title, we offer an improved footer toolbar for determining actions, meaning actions that finalize a transient state of the page and which should therefore be at the end of the page.
Determining actions include:
All those actions should be triggered as a result of reviewing the object or to determine the state of the object. Save orCancel, for instance, end the state of being editable. Approve and Reject determine the pending state of a work item. As finalizing or determining actions, these action should be placed at the end of the screen to follow both the reading flow and flow of action.
In order to make the footer toolbar easier to find, we've introduced a padding around the toolbar to set it apart from the window frame. We therefore called it the floating toolbar. In addition to the padding, we introduced an animation when the toolbar appears so that the user's attention is immediately drawn to it.
The new dynamic page layout is the basis for new floorplans in SAP Fiori going forward, as it offers a number of powerful advantages over other page layouts:
- A fixed header title area gives a clear indication of the page content and provides access to page's global actions any time.
- The flexible header content minimizes when scrolling to provide the possibility to display rich header information, as well as powerful filtering controls without permanently blocking screen real estate.
- The new floating footer toolbar overcomes some of the usability issues of the older version of the footer toolbar, providing direct and intuitive access to determining actions.
Standardizing most of the SAP Fiori floorplans on this dynamic page layout will not only improve this usability of the individual pages, but it will also lead to more consistency and coherence across the different pages, also when used side-by-side.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The life cycle of a butterfly – egg to caterpillar to chrysalis and finally winged flight – is a common yet amazing example of life transformation from nature's book.
There are many comparisons about that transformation that can be made to our human experience.
One comparison is the value of nurturing a young child; enabling it to take flight and reach its full potential in life. Every month of the year, we are reminded of various issues that impact the nurture of young children.
For instance, April was designated as Child Abuse Prevention Month, and May as Depression Awareness.
Service providers working across the service spectrum are involved in raising awareness of these impacts, as well as providing on-going family support services that assist children in Lake County to reach their full potential.
Recently St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake was awarded a Community Transformation Grant from the Centers for Disease Control.
This collaborative project to better population health and reduce chronic disease is bringing together public health, hospitals, clinics, behavioral health services, schools, tribal health, child welfare, family support, Lake Family Resource Center, First 5, People Services, NCO Community Action Agency and others to act as the Health Policy Cabinet for the project, entitled Climb to the Peak of Health.
The project is named to represent Mt. Konocti and the breathtaking beauty that awaits at the summit, thereby making each step to the top worthwhile.
Among the objectives of the Community Transformation Grant project is to create awareness of the important role that emotional health plays in chronic disease. Research shows that experiences during early childhood influence brain development and are pivotal for shaping future health and well-being.
Similar to humans, the butterfly starts life as a very small egg. The mother butterfly must lay her tiny eggs on just the right kind of leaves or the caterpillar will not eat the leaves and thus have no food to keep growing. Humans also need good nourishment through every stage of life to keep growing.
This not only means parents providing healthful food for children, but also developing safe emotional attachment, providing supportive guidance through the various stages of development, and showing children how to develop positive relationships with others.
What happens during a child's formative years has lifelong implications. We are living in a time when one out of every five children is exposed to domestic violence in our country and about five children die each day due to child abuse. Home may be "where the heart is," but for many, home is heart-breaking.
Relationships in the household between parents and children optimally provide the safety of a cocoon. A strong family provides a protective shield for children and a solid foundation that children can depend on. Life has ups and downs and difficult times, but children benefit from seeing their parents cope and bounce back. This is an important way they learn coping skills.
Children also benefit from extended family and friends who provide support when needed. A nurturing home life has a lasting influence on a child's development. Like the butterfly, it enables children to leave the cocoon and launch into a healthy adult life in which they are able to fly on their own.
However, growing up in a home where safety and well-being is at risk, often takes a toll on the direction of one's life, one's health and collectively on the community.
Research from the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACE) shows that a traumatic childhood takes a significant toll on health. Those suffering substantial childhood trauma have double the risk for early death compared with adults who had not endured adverse childhood experiences.
Types of trauma (known as ACE factors) include child abuse (sexual, physical, and emotional), neglect (physical and emotional), chaotic, dysfunctional households in which the mother is treated violently, or a household member is an alcoholic or drug user, or is imprisoned, or is diagnosed with a mental illness, or parents are separated or divorced and the child feels abandoned by one or both parents.
Each type of trauma is given a score of one, with 10 the maximum score. A person who was emotionally abused, physically neglected and grew up with an alcoholic father who spent time in prison, would receive a score of four.
Researchers note that someone with six or more of these factors may die 20 years prematurely because a strong link between these adverse childhood experiences and adult onset of chronic illness was found.
Those with ACE scores of four or more had significantly higher rates of heart disease and diabetes, as well as a 390 percent increased likelihood of pulmonary lung disease; 240 percent increased likelihood of hepatitis; 460 percent increased likelihood for depression; and 1,220 percent for suicide. Those with an ACE score of six had a 4,600 percent increase in the likelihood of becoming an IV drug user.
Adverse childhood experiences are common; 64 percent of those in the original ACE study conducted at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego had experienced one or more categories of the ACE factors.
In a small pilot study done in Lake County that percentage was higher – about 82 percent had one or more factors.
Research linking ACE factors to premature death is in early stages, but researchers note that even if cutting life expectancy by 20 years is not an exact statistic, the study definitely bears out that exposure to early trauma is an important public health issue.
Researchers from different disciplines have found that trauma alters the function and development of children's brains and nervous systems and that a person's experiences can turn on genes that manufacture chemical stressors that affect the brain.
That's what's happening in the brains of traumatized children who become hyper-vigilant, edgy, impulsive, and have hot tempers – and it's happening everywhere, including to our own children in Lake County.
They develop behaviors that get them into trouble and can lead to getting involved in risky behaviors such as smoking, drinking too much alcohol, eating too much, working too much, and more - all negatively affecting their health.
The cycle repeats and continues through multiple generations, shaping families and in turn impacting the communities we live in.
A healthy community is one in which emotional well-being at all ages is valued and opportunities that offer hope and healing are available for those struggling with unhealed emotions.
Why emotional health is important
There is a strong connection between the body and the mind – and the health of each aspect of your "self" is very important.
From an early age, we realize this when we feel nervous about something or experience "butterflies in our stomach" or sweaty palms.
These are examples of how thoughts affect the body.
– Stress is not something "out there" that happens to you (daily hassles, change, the environment, loss, work or lack of work, finances, relationships, inner conflict, etc.) it's our internal responses (moods, physical reactions, etc.) to situations as we perceive them. The goal is not a stress-free life, but to keep stress within manageable limits so it doesn't turn into "distress" (excessive stress that is destructive to physical, mental, and emotional health).
– Our attitude, internal self-talk, support systems, health practices, coping methods, ability to relax, ability to communicate, and the way we see ourselves all factor into how we manage stress.
– Researchers find increased risk for heart attacks in people with increased levels of worry, especially over financial and health concerns.
– There is a higher risk for heart disease in people who carry anger and in people who are depressed, according to researchers.
– People who are anxious, unhappy, or depressed are more likely to develop high blood pressure.
– Sleeplessness and lack of sleep contributes to high blood pressure and being overweight.
– People with strong support systems – such as friends, family, a pastor, physician, or counselor, along with community ties – cope better with stress.
– Physical activity protects physical and emotional health, relieves stress, and makes you feel good. Take a walk every day if you can.
– People who have peaceful minds and actively practice achieving inner peace are more content and happy with the lives.
– Using community resources to address issues of emotional well-being can afford opportunity for hope and healing.

Some of the most important challenges in this area include dealing with hand occlusion, fast hand movement, illumination changes, or background complexity. While most of the state-of-the-art results in the field have been achieved using deep learning-based models, the previous challenges are not completely solved. In this paper, we propose a hand pose aware model for isolated hand sign language recognition using deep learning approaches from two input modalities, RGB and depth videos. Four spatial feature types: pixel-level, flow, deep hand, and hand pose features, fused from both visual modalities, are input to LSTM for temporal sign recognition. While we use Optical Flow (OF) for flow information in RGB video inputs, Scene Flow (SF) is used for depth video inputs. By including hand pose features, we show a consistent performance improvement of the sign language recognition model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that this discriminant spatiotemporal features, benefiting from the hand pose estimation features and multi-modal inputs, are fused for isolated hand sign language recognition. We perform a step-by-step analysis of the impact in terms of recognition performance of the hand pose features, different combinations of the spatial features, and different recurrent models, especially LSTM and GRU. Results on four public datasets confirm that the proposed model outperforms the current state-of-the-art models on Montalbano II, MSR Daily Activity 3D, and CAD-60 datasets with a relative accuracy improvement of 1.64%, 6.5%, and 7.6%. Furthermore, our model obtains a competitive results on isoGD dataset with only 0.22% margin lower than the current state-of-the-art model.


Making The Pinhole
Cut out a piece of aluminium from the drinks can, about 15mm square. Place the aluminium onto some thick cardboard. Using the fine sewing needle or sharp pin, gently press into the centre of the aluminium. Twist the pin between your fingers while doing this so that it slowly "drills" a hole through the metal. Don't push down hard with the pin so that it goes straight through, the idea is to produce a very small hole with clean edges.
The ideal diameter of the pinhole is about 0.2mm, smaller is OK, larger and the images produced will be less sharp.
 Colour the back of the pinhole black, again this should help reduce internal light reflections in the camera
Place the aluminium onto the box so that the pinhole is exactly in the centre of the square hole in the top of the box.
Tape the aluminium onto the box, securing all four sides

Since 1 January 2018, Dutch greenhouse horticulture companies have been legally obliged to purify their residual water flows with certified water treatment systems. These systems must remove at least 95% of plant protection agents from wastewater. Paul Moerman of the Dalipa pepper nursery in Bleiswijk sees the importance of this general water purification requirement. "It's a good thing for the image of the sector, although Dutch vegetable growers are already very environmentally conscious. I think that, certainly in comparison with other European countries, we grow peppers in the most sustainable way possible."
Use of plant protection agents
Irrespective of the water purification requirements, the Dalipa pepper nursery has for a long time been striving to use as little water as possible and to recirculate as much water as possible. "In principle, that is quite easy to do when growing peppers, although the rising sodium content can sometimes be a challenge," says Moerman. "That's why I think that completely emission-free growing is virtually impossible; ultimately, you do have to discharge some water now and again." The use of plant protection agents was, however, the pepper grower's main reason for investing in a water treatment system. "Certain agents may only be purchased and used if your greenhouse has a water treatment system. That in itself is also a good development, because the fewer plant protection agents are found in the surface water, the more agents we will still be permitted to use."
Dalipa was one of the first nurseries to start using the Ridder CleanLite more than a year ago. "We simply felt it was important to comply in good time with all the legislation and regulations surrounding water purification. We came across the CleanLite through our regular installer BE De Lier; the unit was easy to install, and also did not require a huge investment. The CleanLite could easily be integrated into our existing system."
The pepper nursery now uses a Ridder CleanLite system at two separate locations. "It's good to see that the sector has paid a lot of attention to this subject. Our ambition is nonetheless to remain at the forefront and to stay up-to-date. That's why in our company we devote a lot of attention to sustainable developments, just as we do with 'Next Generation Greenhouse Cultivation'. I have a brother who grows peppers in Canada, and who still regularly comes over to visit us to see our innovations in the Netherlands. The new water purification requirements contribute to our sector's green and innovative image."
Planting new crops with a clear conscience
The time to plant new crops is once again approaching for many Dutch horticultural companies. It is generally a period in which a large amount of water is consumed and the whole farm is again hygienically prepared for a new growing season. A lot of contaminated water flows are usually released during these cleaning activities. This can cause problems for growers who do not yet have a water treatment system in their greenhouse. To assist this group of growers in preventing environmentally harmful discharges, this autumn Ridder is offering an attractive promotion for the BZG-certified CleanLite water treatment unit.
Since 1 January 2018, Dutch greenhouse horticulture companies have been legally obliged to purify their residual water flows with certified water treatment systems. These systems must remove at least 95% of plant protection agents from wastewater. According to René van der Stam at Ridder, many growers have invested in such a system over the past year. "As always, however, there are still some growers who are adopting a 'wait-and-see' policy and who do not yet have their water treatment strategy in order. It is expected that, with the start of the new growing season, the water authorities will be carrying out additional checks for the presence of water treatment systems, the non-compliance with standards and water discharges. Growers without a water purification solution are running a significant risk of fines or prosecution."
The CleanLite unit, which last year was rated the best by the Wageningen University & Research (WUR) calculation tool, has been specially developed to help growers comply with legal water purification requirements in an affordable and environmentally-friendly manner. The CleanLite purifies the water of any residues of plant protection agents by using a combination of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and the injection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The result is that polluting substances are fully broken down in a completely biological manner and residual water flows can be safely discharged to the surface water or into the sewerage system. Van der Stam: "Over the past 12 months we've sold a particularly large number of CleanLite systems. The system is in high demand among growers who are looking for an affordable solution that is easy to implement. We've noticed that the unit is also very popular among growers who have not previously used any other Ridder water systems."
Special autumn promotion
Ridder is keen to help growers get their water management in order quickly. For this reason, a special promotion has been set up for the BZG-certified CleanLite water treatment unit, in collaboration with dealers and installers. "We are delighted to help growers without a water treatment system to get their residual water flows in order. That's why we're offering an attractive discount on all treatment units that are ordered from week 40 onwards and delivered on site before 1 January 2019," explains Van der Stam. "The popularity of the CleanLite means that we're able to supply the units directly from stock."
For more information on the special autumn promotion for the CleanLite, please contact us or your Ridder dealer.

I am trying to show that the following equation system:
$$e^u+e^v+2-4e^{x^2-y}=0$$ $$\sin u+xu-v^4-y=0$$
Does not define $(y,x)$ as a function of $(u,v)$ implicitly around $(0,0,0,0)$.
Attempt What I tried to do was find $u,v$ such that in a small radius of (0,0,0,0) the equation would have no solution. My best guess was $u=0, v=R$ (where $R =$ radius), but I had difficulty showing that the system then has no solution.
Help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Differentiate implicitely with respect to u and v and evaluate at 0. Then see if the Jacobian matrix is singular. – PAD Jul 5 '12 at 7:32
We hadn't learned this technique yet (this is a question from a former exam I'm prepping with)... is there another solution? – ro44 Jul 5 '12 at 7:41

You have the right idea. Setting $u=0$ simplifies the system to $e^v+3=4e^{x^2-y}$, $y=-v^4$. The key observation is that the exponent $x^2-y$ cannot be negative, and this is a problem for the first equation when $v<0$.

Oh! I missed the fact that $y=-v^4$, thought it was $y=v^4$. – ro44 Jul 5 '12 at 16:40

The implicit function theorem guarantees you a nice solution $x=x(u,v)$, $\ y=y(u,v)$ with $x(0,0)=0$, $\ y(0,0)=0$ if a certain "technical condition" is satisfied, but has nothing to say if this condition is not satisfied (which is the case here).
On the other hand we can go and solve the system for $x$ and $y$ explicitly. From the second equation we deduce $y=x u+\sin u-v^4$, and plugging this into the first equation gives $$e^u+e^v+2=4\exp(x^2-x u-\sin u+v^4)$$ or $$x^2 - xu -\sin u +v^4-\log\Bigl(1+{e^u-1\over4}+{e^v-1\over4}\Bigr)=0\.$$ This is a quadratic equation for $x$ which you can solve explicitly, but it might have complex solutions for some $(u,v)$ near $(0,0)$. Maybe you don't allow this.
To see what happens we retain only the terms of order $\leq2$ in $u$ and $v$. We then have the equation $$x^2-x u-{5\over4}u-{1\over4}v-{1\over32}(3u^2-2u v+3v^2)=0$$ with the formal solutions $$x={1\over2}\Bigl(u\pm\sqrt{5u+v+{\rm quadratic\ terms}}\Bigr)\.$$ Here the radicand is negative on one side of a quadric going through the origin of the $(u,v)$-plane. This implies that in the immediate neighborhood of $(0,0)$ there are points $(u,v)$ to which correspond no real $(x,y)$ solving the given system of equations.

Nanostructured photocatalysts for green chemistry and sustainable catalysis
Nanoscale materials with precise structure and composition offer unique opportunities in the development of catalytic processes for green and sustainable chemistry. Following a long tradition of successful undergraduate researchers and summer interns in our lab, SULI students in the Vela group will apply principles of nanomaterial synthesis, green chemistry, and catalysis to investigate photochemical transformations of renewable and alternative energy sources, with an emphasis on carbon dioxide (CO2) and biomass-relevant substrates.
The Vela group focuses on the design of distinct, powerful and widely applicable synthetic strategies spanning the continuum between the molecular and nano scales, and that enable effective processing and incorporation of nanomaterials into innovative energy conversion and catalytic technologies. We are particularly interested in the use of hybrid heterostructured nanocomposites as photocatalysts for the selective solar-to-chemical energy conversion of biomass-derived substrates (polyols) into useful chemicals (biopolymers) and fuels (molecular hydrogen).

Calf thymus DNA characterization and its adsorption on different silica surfaces
MetadataShow full item record
DNA adsorption is the initial stage of gene therapy for drug delivery systems and solid phase extraction methods of DNA purification. High pore volume and high adsorption capacity are simple requirements not only for producing'smart' drug delivery systems but also the development of purification kits. Silica is the most used material for this purpose. The present study aimed at elucidating the calf thymus DNA biosorption process by the characterization of calf thymus DNA and silica to increase the efficiency of the currently used silica material. Mesoporous silica has long been used for DNA adsorption and silica aerogel is the new adsorbent investigated in the present study. When DNA solution was freeze dried on a silica wafer, self-assembled super helices formed as shown by atomic microscopy (AFM). Thus DNA existed not as single molecules but as large sized agglomerates in water. Thus it could be adsorbed in the macropores and on the external surface of adsorbents. Adsorption of calf thymus DNA to a silica aerogel, a mesoporous silica gel and a silica wafer was investigated in the present study. Silica aerogel was synthesized from TEOS by a supercritical ethanol drying process. The DNA adsorption capacity of the silica aerogel was nearly two times that of the mesoporous silica gel due to its macroporous structure and its higher silanol content. Silica aerogel was found to be a very promising material for DNA adsorption. Therefore silica aerogel can be considered as a good candidate for the delivery of DNA.

||In this thesis,I discuss the wave pass on submerged bweakwater,and theheight of submerged breakwater,different slope of submerged breakwater|
with breaking wave relations.I do experiment to find the regular between breaking wave and the design of submerged breakwater.I use different submerged breakwater,there are two slope.There are 1/2 and 1/5.The height of submerged breakwater is 45 cm,the wide of submerged breakwater is 75 cm.the water deep is from 50cm to 90 cm,Wave cyclical is from 1.2 sec to 2.7 sec,I use H L to choose wave height,and save the data of incident wave.and then I analysis the data to get t K and energy.I also memorize the site of breaking wave and breaking type. From the experiment ,we know that wave do not be broken, be broken, and the regular of breaking wave and breaking type ,so we can use the regular to design the height of submerged breakwater, the slope of submerged breakwater. So we can use the least costs to protect the seacoast. When we know local wave condition, we can design the height of submerged breakwater to break wave that is dangerous for seacoast ,or we want to break wave when the wave height at 1 m or 2 m or others design the height of submerged breakwater. When σ^2h/g is between 0.3 and 2.5,we can find that when R/H0' is smaller than 1,the wave will break。When wave break bysubmerged breakwater ,we can find the slope of 1/5 is better than the slope of 1/2 to reduce the wave.Both slope of 1/2 and slope of 1/5 are effective to reduce wave energy at Hi/R=2.

Asphalt Driveways Kilmore Big County Dublin
Asphalt is an inexpensive solution for large surfacing areas. When you use it for a smaller surface, however, it can cost a little more than usual.
While asphalt is often referred to as asphalt tarmac, the two things are not actually the same. The main difference between asphalt and tarmac is that asphalt is tremendously hard-wearing, but the main disadvantage is that it's not as hardy as tarmac in relation to continuous deterioration by car tires.
However, asphalt is less affected by extreme weather and requires less maintenance. Another difference is that asphalt is kinder to the environment than tarmac.
When the driveway gets old, you can recycle asphalt and reuse the material elsewhere fairly easily. For driveways you can also use asphalt concrete.
Find out more about our Asphalt Driveways Dublin service here.
What is asphalt concrete?
Asphalt concrete is a blend of asphaltic cement mixed with grit or sand which delivers a long-lasting and hard-wearing driveway. These driveways are more expensive again as they are harder to repair than asphalt or tarmac. Also, Asphalt concrete gets damaged more easily by fluctuating temperatures.
How Long Will An Asphalt Driveway Last?
The way you treat your driveway will determine the lifespan of asphalt. For instance, extreme weather conditions and heavy traffic can cause dents and cracks in the driveway. So, the eventual life expectancy of an asphalt driveway depends on several factors just like tarmac. However, the general life expectancy of an asphalt driveway is about 20 years.
The Differences Between Tarmac VS Asphalt driveways Kilmore Big County Dublin
While tarmac and asphalt are usually used for pavements, driveway surfaces, and roads, they aren't the same. Asphalt is a mixture of aggregates and bitumen that needs up to two days before it completely cures. On the other hand, Tarmac is a combination of crushed stone and tar that cures quickly.
Here are the main differences between tarmac vs asphalt:
- Asphalt offers a better finish and smoother surface than tarmac. This helps to increase tire grip and makes it a more suitable, safer option for driveways and roads. This is because tarmac consists of larger aggregates than asphalt.
- Asphalt is reusable but tarmac is not. You can scrape off the asphalt surface as well as reprocess the material to use for a different project. This makes asphalt a more eco-friendly choice in comparison with tarmac.
- Tarmac is likely to get damaged by diesel or petrol spills, while asphalt needs less maintenance.
- Asphalt is slightly more expensive material to use over small surface areas.
- Similarities Between Tarmac and Asphalt
- Both are used for a wide range of paving applications.
- Both paving materials have the same makeup.
- They each contain petroleum products, fillers such as sand, and aggregate such as stone.
- Both are suitable for large loads and heavy vehicles.
Both asphalt and tarmac are used for surface pavements, roads, and driveways, but they aren't the same material. Tarmac or tarmacadam is a blend of tar and larger aggregates, whereas asphalt is a blend of bitumen and smaller aggregates. Tarmac is easy and quick to install and a litte bit cheaper than asphalt for driveways.
Asphalt is slightly more eco-friendly than tarmac as you can break and reuse it at the end of life. Since asphalt tops are smoother in comparison with tarmac, they are safer to drive on because of better tire grip.
Where Are Tarmac And Asphalt Used?
Both asphalt and tarmac materials are extensively used for roads (such as motorways, highways, caravan parks, private roads, car parks, etc.,). They are also used on pavements and driveways. Contact Quality Driveways Dublin for Asphalt Driveways Kilmore Big County Dublin. Both elements are extensively used in domestic and corporate settings.
Which Product Is Cheaper?
Among the two materials, tarmac is a bit cheaper than asphalt.
What Are The Benefits Of Asphalt And Tarmac?
Both elements offer longevity, durability, and ease of installation compared with other surfacing such as Block Paving.
Which Product Is More Environmentally Friendly?
Asphalt is slightly more eco-friendly than Tarmac.

Discrimination analysis of excitatory and inhibitory neurons using Raman spectroscopy
We have succeeded in discriminating between intact excitatory and inhibitory neuronal cells with Raman analysis. Excitatory and inhibitory neurons have several differences in their electric activities, but it can be difficult to determine their types based only on visual appearances. As Raman spectroscopy does not require any staining or labeling, its use in live neuronal cells is possible. In the present study, we used primary neurons obtained from rat cerebral cortexes, which we cultured on a glial feeder layered culturing dish for 15 days. The Raman spectra of the intact neurons on the dish were obtained; the neurons were then immunostained and their types determined. Partial least squares regression-discriminant analysis (PLSR-DA) was employed for classification of the excitatory and inhibitory neurons. The results demonstrated a high feasibility for use of Raman spectroscopy for discrimination analysis of inhibitory and excitatory neurons in a nondestructive manner.

|Location||Fiji, Viti Levu|
|Central coordinates||178o 2.00' East 17o 37.00' South|
|IBA criteria||A1, A2|
|Altitude||500 - 1,324m|
|Year of IBA assessment||2006|
Summary This site supports the largest known population of Long-legged Warbler, has good populations of Pink-billed Parrotfinches and is the most likely site for the, possibly extinct, Red-throated Lorikeet.
Site description This site covers the upper slopes of Tomaniivi or Mt Victoria, Fiji's highest mountain 1,324m asl, and extends on to the lower slopes in the north-east.
Key Biodiversity Greater Tomaniivi is perhaps the best hope for Red-throated Lorikeet surviving anywhere in the world but ongoing surveys are still required to confirm its current status. The population of Long-legged Warblers may be much larger than currently known but, again, requires further fieldwork.
Non-bird biodiversity: Tomaniivi supports several threatened plants, some of which are endemic to the mountain, e.g. Schefflera costata. Recent PABITRA (IAS/Dept Forestry/ BirdLife/WCS) surveys at Wabu discovered the tree Acmopyle sahniana, Fijian Blossom-bat and an insectivorous bat, probably Polynesian Sheath-tail-bat. Herpetological surveys have found very few reptiles or amphibians (but include the endemic Fijian Tree Frog and Green Tree Skink, perhaps because the site is relatively cold.

You want to see how quickly the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers converges on φ.
Phi, known by the nickname "the golden ratio" and written as \$φ\$, is an irrational number, almost as popular as π and e. The exact value of \$φ\$ is \$\frac {1 + \sqrt 5} 2 = 1.618...\$
The Fibonacci sequence is a recursive series of integers calculated by
$$F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2} \\ F_0 = 0 \\ F_1 = 1$$
Calculate \$φ\$'s value and the ratio \$\frac {F_n} {F_{n-1}}\$. How closely does \$φ\$ match the ratio?
\$n = 2\$, ratio: \$\frac 1 1 = 1.000\$, compared to \$1.618...\$, 0 decimal spots match
\$n = 5\$, ratio: \$\frac 5 3 = 1.666...\$, compared to \$1.618...\$, 1 decimal spot matches
1 integer \$n\$ to calculate \$\frac{F_n}{F_{n-1}}\$
\$ n >= 5\$
1 integer \$x\$, indicating the number of decimal places that match the value of \$φ\$
It is acceptable that the program only works accurately until the float precision limit of the language.
Test Cases
Input -> Output
5 -> 1
10 -> 2
12 -> 2
15 -> 5
20 -> 7
23 -> 7
25 -> 9
50 -> 18
100 -> 39
Do not round the ratio of \$\frac{F_n}{F_{n-1}}\$
Rounding will give you errors.
Let's look at \$n = 5\$ again.
\$1.666...\$ rounds to \$1.7\$ and \$1.618...\$ rounds to \$1.6\$, so 0 is the wrong answer.
Useful information and math.
The limit of the ratios of the consecutive Fibonacci terms as \$n\$ tends to infinity is the golden number \$φ\$. The inverse of this ratio is \$\frac 1 φ\$ which equals to \$φ−1\$.
\$\frac 1 φ = φ -1 \$
\$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{F_n}{F_{n-1}} = φ\$

The relevant function is g, which takes n as input and returns the number of matching decimal digits between \$\varphi\$ and \$F_n/F_{n-1}\$. It probably won't work if the answer is larger than 15 because that's the maximum precision allowed by Doubles.
f=0:scanl(+)1f is the standard Haskell definition of the Fibonacci numbers.
e?n=floor$10^e*f!!n/f!!(n-1) is a function (?) which computes $$ \left\lfloor10^e\cdot\frac{F_n}{F_{n-1}}\right\rfloor. $$
g n=last[i|i<-[1..n],i?n==i?99] finds the largest exponent i such that $$ \left\lfloor10^i\cdot\frac{F_n}{F_{n-1}}\right\rfloor=\left\lfloor 10^i\varphi\right\rfloor. $$ Note that \$\varphi\$ is computed as \$F_{99}/F_{98}\$ to save bytes, since the error is far beyond the accuracy of Doubles. Also, the fact that the answer will always be smaller than n is exploited.

Palisade Knowledge Base
HomeTechniques and Tips@RISK DistributionsDistribution Parameters from "Alt" Distributions
3.22. Distribution Parameters from "Alt" Distributions
Applies to:
_USER_ 5.x–7.x
When I specify a distribution in terms of percentiles or "alt parameters", how does _USER_ figure out the parameters of the distribution?
That's a good question. If you have a RiskPertAlt or RiskTriangAlt, for example, _USER_ finds what parameters of a standard RiskPert or RiskTriang would give the percentiles you specified. But there's no formula. Instead, _USER_ has to use a process of successive approximations to find the right parameters for the RiskPert. And it's the same for all the other Alt distributions, as well as RiskTrigen, which specifies two of a triangle's three parameters as percentiles. RiskUniformAlt is the exception; see below if you want to know the theory.
How can I find out what standard parameters _USER_ computes for Alt functions?
 1. In the Define Distribution window's left-hand column, click the drop-down arrow next to Parameters: Alternate.
 2. A Parameters dialog opens; clear the check box for Alternate Parameters in that dialog and click OK.
 3. In the Define Distribution dialog, click OK to write the non-Alt function to the cell, or Cancel to keep the Alt function.
For example, paste this formula into an empty cell:
Press Enter, and then click Define Distributions. (As an alternative, you could click Define Distributions on an empty cell, select the distribution, and enter the parameters in the dialog.)
Click the drop-down arrow to the right of Alternate, remove the check mark for Alternate Parameters, and click OK just once. The display now shows the equivalent regular parameters, α1=1.295682, α2=1.121222, Min=-4.990886, Max=17.204968. (Because these are rounded values, some statistics and percentiles may be slightly different from their values in the Alt distribution.) The full non-Alt distribution is shown in the Cell Formula box near the top of the Define Distributions dialog:
If you now click OK, _USER_ will replace the Alt distribution in your worksheet with that non-Alt distribution; if you click Cancel, the Alt distribution will remain in your worksheet.
I have to convert a number of Alt functions to standard parameters. Is there some way to do this with worksheet functions?
For some Alt functions, yes. The attached workbook gives examples.
If the standard parameters of a distribution are statistics like min, max, and mean, you can use RiskTheoMin and other "Theo" statistic functions to find those parameters. The triangular distribution, for example, has parameters of min, mode (most likely), and max, and you can get them by applying those "Theo" functions to the TriangAlt or Trigen.
If the parameters don't map directly to statistic functions, but there are formulas in the help file, you can solve those formulas to find the parameters. For instance, the help file says that the mean and variance of a BetaGeneral are
μ = min + α1(max−min)/(α12)
σ² = α1α2 (max−min)² / ( (α12)² (α12+1) )
Solving for α1 and α2 gives
α2 = ( (μ−min)(max−μ)/σ² − 1 ) (max−μ) / (max−min)
α1 = α2 (μ−min) / (max−min)
The attached workbook shows about a dozen examples, mostly less complicated than that. Unfortunately, not all distributions have closed-form expressions for the statistics in terms of the distribution parameters; for those, the only choice is the method above using the Define Distribution window.
What about RiskUniformAlt? I'm curious how _USER_ can use a formula to convert it to standard parameters, when the other Alt distributions require successive approximations.
This section shows the algebraic solution for those who are interested, although the techniques given above are quicker and simpler. Unlike all the other Alt functions, _USER_ uses formulas to convert RiskUniformAlt to the equivalent non-Alt function. Consider RiskUniformAlt(C1,x1,c,x2) where C1 and C2 are cumulative ascending percentiles >0 and <1. How is that converted to the equivalent RiskUniform(min,max)?
The CDF (cumulative distribution function) for RiskUniformAlt is a straight line passing through your desired percentiles (x1,C1) and (x2,C2). But the same straight line also passes through (min,0) and (max,1), although you don't yet know the values of min and max. Therefore the equation of the CDF is
C = (x − min) / (max − min)
Substituting your two desired percentiles (x1,c1) and (x2,C2) gives C1⋅(max − min) = x1 − min and C2⋅(max − min) = x2 − min. Solving those as simultaneous equations in min and max gives the formulas
min = (x1⋅C2 − x2⋅C1) / (C2 − C1)
max = min + (x2 − x1) / (C2 − C1)

Internet Use in Europe
Internet use affects people's lives in a variety of ways and many aren't immediately obvious. For instance, studies show that internet usage positively affects how open and accepting people are to other cultures and other ways of life.
In Europe, internet penetration has topped 85%, a figure that's far above the global average, but across the continent national figures vary widely. As of 2016, 190 million people had a broadband internet connection. More than two-thirds of people who have internet access are using the internet on a daily basis.
Total internet use across Europe
Overall, home internet access in Europe is high, but while in some countries internet penetration is well over 90%, in others it's struggling to top 60% to 70%. For the most part, central Europe is leading the way, while Eastern Europe is lagging behind in terms of home internet connectivity.
Between 2007 and 2016, the percentage of European Union citizens with home internet access increased from 55% to 85%.
Contrasts in internet access across Europe
High-speed broadband that's both accessible and affordable is one of the most important ways to promote the development of a well-informed society. While overall internet penetration is high within the EU, there are significant differences between those countries with the highest internet usage rates, and those with the lowest.
Across all of Europe, 82% of people used in the internet in 2016, with Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, and Germany leading the way in terms of connectivity. In these countries, over 90% of people are internet users. Within the EU, the countries with the highest home internet access rates are Luxembourg and The Netherlands, each of which have achieved rates of 97%. Of those with internet access, 83% of people use broadband internet.
However, in other EU countries the story is very different: internet is less widely available, and usage is much lower. For instance, as of 2016 70% of Portuguese are internet users; in Greece and Portugal the figure is at 69%. Romania and Bulgaria have the lowest rates of internet usage, at 60% and 59% respectively. For some countries these figures increased slightly in the following year. Romania, for example, had climbed to 62.8% by 2017, and Portugal to 72.4%, but in Greece and Bulgaria the figures remained unchanged.
In the so-called EU candidate nations—including Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovinia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Turkey—internet penetration ranges from 66% in Albania and 67% in Serbia, to 80% in Kosovo. Overall internet penetration in these countries is at 69.6%.
countries, there are also differences in internet use that depend on other factors. One of the most prominent is the divide between people in urban areas and people in rural locations.
In urban areas, an average of 88% of people have home internet access. Towns and suburban areas have almost the same level of access, at 86%. In rural areas, the figure drops to 80%. However, this is a continent-wide average, and the breakdown by country indicates that in countries where overall internet access is low, the gap between urban and rural internet access is much wider. In fact, it may be the lack of rural internet access that is bringing down the overall figures for those countries with the lowest internet penetration rates, such as Romania and Bulgaria.
Usage behaviour in the EU
Overall in the EU, 71% of people use the internet on a daily basis. Around half of EU citizens use online banking. Social media use is similarly widespread, with 52% of people using social media networks in 2016. Both men and women use the internet for entertainment purposes—56% of men and 51% of women use the internet at least once a week for watching TV shows and films.
Mobile versus home internet use in Europe
As might be expected, patterns of mobile internet use mimic those which have already been noted for home internet use and overall internet penetration. The general trend is that countries where internet penetration is highest also have the highest rates of mobile internet use. However, while home and work internet access is achieving near-saturation rates in some countries, mobile internet penetration still lags behind somewhat. In Western Europe, around 62.% of the population owned smartphones in 2017, while in Central and Eastern Europe, limited access in several countries puts the regional average at 43.6%,
Worldwide, mobile internet penetration is high, at 3.7 billion unique users as of 2017. And mobile devices account for 49.7% of web page views worldwide. As expected, Europe has one of the highest mobile penetration rates, at 76.6%. Europe is second only to the Americas in this regard, where the mobile penetration rate is at 78.2%.
Interestingly, it's Asia and Africa that are leading the way in terms of mobile web page views, rather than Europe or the Americas. Both Africa and Asia have become "mobile first" markets where it's easier for companies to market and sell mobile devices than laptop or desktop computers. In large part this is simply because it's more accessible, affordable, and convenient for users to maintain an internet connection using mobile rather than home internet. Therefore, on these continents people are using their mobile connections more often, rather than splitting internet use between mobile, work, and home connections as in Europe and the Americas.
On the Way to Developing a Digital Europe
There are significant differences between and within countries in terms of internet penetration, internet access, and mobile internet usage. While some countries are adapting quickly and easily to the digital revolution, for others progress is coming much more slowly. This is especially true in isolated rural areas, as well as in a small number of countries both within and outside the EU.
As Europe focuses on the development of a single digital economy, the push to extend internet access in those countries that are lagging behind is sure to become stronger in the coming years. If Europe is to develop a fully-functional single digital economy it's vital that the divide between rural and urban internet access, as well as that which exists between different countries in the EU, be explored and addressed.

RALEIGH, N.C. (December 4, 2012) - Smart water networks can save utilities across the globe up to $12.5 billion a year according to research commissioned by Sensus, a leading provider of intelligent solutions for electric, gas and water utilities. The findings, published in a white paper titled Water 20/20: Bringing Smart Water Networks Into Focus, provide insight from more than 180 utilities worldwide.
The report shows that system performance improvements in areas such as leakage and pressure management, network operations, and water quality monitoring, coupled with informed decision making about the allocation of capital expenditures, can stimulate dramatic savings when driven by the real-time data that a smart water network provides.
A smart water network is an integrated set of products, solutions and systems that enables utilities to remotely and continuously monitor and diagnose problems, prioritize and manage maintenance issues, and use data to optimize all aspects of water distribution network performance.
The report and extensive interviews with utilities worldwide found that, collectively, leaked water alone costs them an estimated $9.6 billion each year. By preventing leaks and enhancing the effectiveness of both water quality monitoring and system maintenance, smart water networks can help utilities recoup those losses and more.
"Water utilities are under pressure from growing demand, aging water systems and increasing energy prices," said Peter Mainz, CEO and President of Sensus. "Smart water networks can ease that pressure and save utilities worldwide billions of dollars each year. These savings mean more than 5 percent of utilities' budgets could be reinvested to improve water networks and help address the global water scarcity crisis."
Within the next decade, approximately two-thirds of the world's population, or 4.6 billion people, will experience water stressed conditions that occur when the demand for water exceeds the available amount during a certain period or when poor quality restricts its use. Water scarcity, coupled with the link between gross domestic product (GDP) and the availability of drinking water, has prompted Sensus to call for water industry collaboration to successfully implement smart water networks worldwide.
"The savings and environmental and societal benefits we've identified are only possible if we start working together," said Mainz. "'Business as usual' means more of the usual losses – of both water and money. If we act now to implement smart water networks, we will preserve this vital resource for future generations."

 You could remove it but part of the meaning would be lost. "ci" shows some kind of proximity (in space and/or in time) in regard to the person speaking.
 In context, it can mark a contrast between a previous time (that would be "cette fois-là") when the woman wasn't "contente".
 So the speaker asks if she is satisfied this time, in opposition to the other time when she was not.
 The English equivalent would be:
 Cette fois-ci = This time here
 Cette fois-là = That time there
 (even though in English it is very rare to speak like this, this type of specification is common in French)

Australia's chief vet says the ESCAS system, designed to safeguard the welfare of Australian livestock sent for slaughter overseas, is "performing very well".
Dr Mark Schipp says there have been improvements in welfare and transparency in receiving markets since ESCAS was implemented, and some countries within the South-East Asian region are now voluntarily adopting the system domestically as well.
Dr Schipp acknowledges that there are still tensions within some markets over elements of the ESCAS system and its implementation.
But he says Australia is also being commended overseas for its leading role in improving livestock welfare. READ MORE

After two betas in which we have been able to soak up what is in store for us New World, you can already propose a basic guide with tips to get started. The Amazon Games game can be a real revolution within MMOs thanks to some of its approaches.
From the objects that you must carry to some tips not to mess it up With the combat system, you have to take a lot of things into account if you want your experience in this title not to be difficult for you. Take out paper and pen, let's go there.
New World Basics Guide: Tips for Conquering the New World
The New World system forces you to eat every so often to regain life naturally, and failure to do so will not refill your health bar out of combat. Therefore, before going on missions, ALWAYS check that you have enough food.
Always take a look at how long you have left to be run out of food buff, and as soon as it is finished he returns to eat to be able to maintain the hunt.
Types of damage
In the game there are several types of damage:
This means that each enemy will have resistance to one type of damage and will be vulnerable to another type. Ideally, you should know yourself well types of damage that performs the moveset of your weapons to know what to attack each enemy with.
The simplest indicative to know if the damage is effective is the color system:
- If the damage is not effective, the numbers will come out in blue.
- The White indicates that it is neutral damage.
- Yes it is yellow, the damage is effective.
- The color Orange indicates that it has been a critical hit (it does not matter if they resist). Attacks from behind are critically assured.
The last tip regarding damage is simpler than the mechanism of a pencil: learn your moveset. It is important that you know which attack to use at each moment, as it is not the same to face a single enemy than several at the same time.
Collecting and crafting
The first thing you need to know is something pretty obvious: the better the materials of your gathering tools, the more useful it will be. You may be interested in spending some time in the first city you arrive to get the iron toolsEven if that means wasting a bit of time grinding.
The idea is that ALL your gathering skills go up evenly, because you are going to need it if you want to create suitable equipment. As resources ALWAYS appear in the same place, you can create your own routes or collection areas to get materials quickly.
This brings us to the inevitable question of "bread for today, hunger for tomorrow"No matter how lazy you are to collect at the beginning, if you don't do it and at some point you want to level up your gathering skills, you will have to go back to previous areas to do so, and that's not too pleasant.
The bags, as in any MMO, they are a key point of the game if you do not want to run out of space in the blink of an eye. Although you can create the bags yourself, don't forget to take a look at the market from time to time to see if there are any interesting bags.
You will get bag gaps with the passage of the levels, and it is vital that you fill them with the best bags you can.
Travel fast and save time
The game has a fast travel system between cities (and only between cities) that costs a particular material (the Azoth). It is a wonderful way to save time, although being a finite material (and difficult to find at the beginning of the game) it is more advisable to use the return to the inn.
Another very important detail of fast travel is that, the more you carry, the more it will cost. Try to store the objects that you do not need on top, and get rid of the weapons that you do not need at the moment (or convert them into materials).
To save time, you have two options: go back home or to the inn that is linked to you. You can have several houses boughtSo try to buy them in distant cities to save as much time (and money) as possible. Use the linked inn as a extra house, and in this way you can have more coverage of the map.
Two other ways to save time would be to place a camp near the area where you are going to do missions (especially if they are dangerous missions) to reappear there, or not to do it and, once the missions are finished, select the option of "reappearance" to appear in the city where you have the inn.
There is a total of 3 factions in the game, and you can only change factions once every LONG time, so don't make the decision lightly. The best thing you can do to make the decision is to take a look at the equipment that each one offers to find out which one interests you the most.
In order to face other players you have to mark you within a city, and when you go out you can do it. Keep in mind that you will not be able to form a group with people who DO NOT have the active flag, so remember to deactivate it if someone in your group does not have PvP activated.
The New World equipment is VERY customizable, and you can combine the armor parts however you want. The thing is, there is a fairly simple relationship between armor weight: the lighter the armor, the more damage you will do, although you will also hold less.
The Balance It is really important, because even if you are going to have more damage and you are going to roll better, the reality is that you are going to endure much less. In the end, it will be up to you to decide what your style of play is.

The light-scattering properties of dental enamel and dentin were measured at 543, 632, and 1053 nm. Angularly resolved scattering distributions for these materials were measured from 0° to 180° using a rotating goniometer. Surface scattering was minimized by immersing the samples in an index-matching bath. The scattering and absorption coefficients and the scattering phase function were deduced by comparing the measured scattering data with angularly resolved Monte Carlo light-scattering simulations. Enamel and dentin were best represented by a linear combination of a highly forward-peaked Henyey–Greenstein (HG) phase function and an isotropic phase function. Enamel weakly scatters light between 543 nm and 1.06 μm, with the scattering coefficient (μs) ranging from μs = 15 to 105 cm−1. The phase function is a combination of a HG function with g = 0.96 and a 30–60% isotropic phase function. For enamel, absorption is negligible. Dentin scatters strongly in the visible and near IR (μs ≅ 260 cm−1) and absorbs weakly (μa ≅ 4 cm−1). The scattering phase function for dentin is described by a HG function with g = 0.93 and a very weak isotropic scattering component (~2%).

The question asked "where we might meet" total boundedness. One situation where you do not meet it is classical analysis or geometry in finite-dimensional spaces; in $R^n$, bounded and totally bounded are equivalent concepts. So the intuition and conditions for appearance are necessarily more subtle.
Geometrically, a space fails to be totally bounded if and only if it contains an infinite set of points with all pairwise distances at least $d$ for some $d > 0$. This is just the negation of the definition of totally bounded: if for some $\epsilon > 0$ there is no finite set of points whose $\epsilon$-neighborhood covers the space, then we can build an infinite set of mutually $\epsilon$-separated points by placing in the set any point $p_1$ and for $n>1$ inductively adding to the set any point $p_n$ not inside the $\epsilon$-neighborhood of the preceding points. For finite-dimensional spaces this can happen only for a sequence of points that escapes to infinity. But in infinite dimensions an infinite set of $d$-separated points can be packed into a ball of finite radius.
Boundedness and total boundedness are both properties of the completion of the space. A metric space has either boundedness property if and only if its completion does. Considering complete metric spaces is convenient because total boundedness (for a complete metric space) is equivalent to the space being compact. So one might want a topological characterization of the difference between bounded and totally bounded, for complete spaces. However, any metric space can be converted into a bounded one (without affecting total boundedness, completeness, or the topology) by replacing the metric $d$ with $d/(1+d)$ or some other bounded monotonic function that preserves the property of being a metric. So topological characterization suitable for understanding the difference between bounded and totally bounded (complete) spaces is more elusive. Maybe one should consider uniform spaces instead.
Returning to the question of situations where total boundedness appears, there are at least two:
As far as total boundedness requires infinite-dimensionality and a metric, it comes up naturally in functional analysis.
It also appears in so-called "constructive analysis", i.e., analysis using direct and generally negation-free arguments, as in Errett Bishop's book. The concept of total boundedness first arose from a (classical) logical analysis of the Heine-Borel theorem and what was required to extend it to general metric spaces. In a situation where nonconstructive arguments, such as determining whether a given sequence has infinitely many positive terms, are not present, spaces like the real numbers are not all that different from general metric spaces, and an analysis of which hypotheses were "really at work" in the classical proofs is useful for building the theory in the more general and direct fashion that Bishop advocated. So where boundedness might be used in a finite-dimensional classical argument, one might use total boundedness in the constructive one. This is similar in flavor to the question above in the comments, of what characterizations are true without the axiom of choice.
