How to select a DC Block
A DC Block is a coaxial component that prevents the flow of DC current into the RF Signal path, thereby minimizing interference. The key specifications to look for when looking for an rf or microwave dc block are:
Type: There are three main types:
Inner DC Blocks: Inner dc blocks have a capacitor in series with the center conductor.
Outer DC Block: Outer dc blocks have a capacitor in series with the outer conductor.
Inner/Outer DC Block: Inner-Outer dc blocks have a capacitor in series with both the inner and outer dc block.
Connector: RF DC blocks are available in a number of connector options – sma dc blocks, bnc dc blocks etc. There are also options available where the input and the output connecters are different.
Impedance: The impedance of the dc block is matched to the circuit impedance to prevent any reflections. 50 Ohms and 75 Ohms are the two most common options.
Frequency (MHz): The frequency up to which the DC Block can effectively block out the DC signal from the RF Signal path.
Power Rating (W): This is the level of power that the dc block can handle.
Breakdown Voltage (V): This is the voltage beyond which the dc block ceases to operate.
everything RF lets you search for both commercial and military RF Microwave DC Blocks by specification. You no longer need to look through individual supplier websites or catalogs to find the DC Block that meets your requirements. everything RF simplifies the process for you.


Retraining reactions to smells
Principal Investigator:
Florida State University
One of the major factors that has been found to contribute to suicide risk is a pattern of experiencing feelings of anxiety. A well-known example is that Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are at a higher risk of suicide than other Veterans. Thus it makes sense that if ways could be found to help Veterans reduce feelings of anxiety, it could also reduce suicide risk in those Veterans. And this is exactly what Wen Li and Brad Schmidt, psychology researchers at Florida State University, have set out to do, focusing on helping Veterans and others learn to handle anxiety-causing smells.
Many Veterans, particularly those with PTSD, are distressed by certain smells, such as those of burning rubber, gunpowder, and various flammable liquids. One study found, for instance, that 93 percent of combat Veterans with PTSD reported being distressed by the smell of burning rubber.
A major problem with many of these Veterans, Li explains, is that they are highly sensitized to these smells and that even of whiff of a particular odor is enough to trigger anxiety. Someone who is highly sensitive to the smell of gasoline, for example, might become distressed by coming close to someone who had just filled up his car's gas tank, even if the gas odor was so slight that most people wouldn't even notice it. The regular anxiety episodes caused by such a sensitivity can be very distressing.
Thus Li and Schmidt have set out to use a technique called "perceptual retraining" to help Veterans and others reduce their sensitivities to such odors. The idea behind the retraining is that people with such sensitivities are not drawing a distinction between a very slight smell, which is unlikely to signal the presence of a problem, and a strong smell, such as from a large gasoline leak, which could indeed indicate some sort of danger.
"PTSD patients," Li says, "can't differentiate between a minimum-level smell and a threat-level smell. They see a little bit of 'red' in everything. They pay attention to the small amount of red signal, while in healthy controls this will be dismissed. We want to train them to dismiss this small amount of threat signal while maintaining their ability to detect something that is truly a threat."
Li has previously used perceptual retraining to help people with social anxieties improve their ability to read emotions on other people's faces. Social phobics are much more sensitive that other people to signs of anger in a person's face and will report a face as angry that others see as neutral. The retraining involves showing the social phobic different faces showing a spectrum of expressions from neutral to angry—with the faces generated with a morphing program with a neutral face on one end and an angry face on the other—and asking the person to identify the emotion. The subject gets immediate feedback—yes, that's right, or no, that's not right—and within a relatively short time learns to identify the truly angry faces from the ones that are mostly neutral.
To help Veterans that respond anxiously to certain smells, Li has developed a variation on this approach that is designed to work with odors. It is based on a similar "morphing" technique, except in this case is it odors and not faces that are being morphed. By mixing, say, gasoline into a neutral-smelling liquid such as anisole, which smells something like anise seed, she can produce a range of odors, from those that have a very faint gasoline smell to those that smell strongly of gasoline. With that she can train people who are sensitized to the smell of gasoline to distinguish between mostly neutral smells with just a hint of gasoline and those that truly do smell of gasoline. The purpose of the training, Li says, is to create "a psychological distance between a minimal, insignificant signal and a real signal."
As of the end of 2016, Li had completed the odor perceptual retraining in four people, each of whom had been found to have heightened sensitivities to the sorts of smells that service members experience during deployment—in particular, burning rubber, gunpowder, and gasoline. She had hoped to enroll more subjects by that point, she said, but the protocols are time-intensive, and her funding came through relatively late in the consortium's first phase of the consortium. Although the project was funded only through August 2016, Li is working on a no-cost extension, and in the remaining eight months of that extension she is hoping to enroll more subjects and accumulate more data for her analysis.
After that, Li says, she hopes to use the current study as a pilot project to serve as the basis for a longer, better funded study, assuming the initial results are promising. Ultimately, of course, the goal is to add another tool to the kit of psychologists and therapists working to reduce the risk of suicide among Veterans.

This is useful if you want to compare the positions from a SpanQuery with the positions of items in
a filter. For instance, if you had a SpanFilter that marked all the occurrences of the word "foo" in documents,
and then you entered a new SpanQuery containing bar, you could not only filter by the word foo, but you could
then compare position information for post processing.

Legislation Governing Skip Permits
The placement of skips and containers on the highway is governed by the Highways Act 1980 Section 139.
Within this a local authority is given discretion to determine the following:
- The siting of the skip:
- Its dimensions.
- The manner in which it is to be coated with paint and other material for the purpose of making it immediately visible to oncoming traffic;
- The care and disposal of its contents;
- The manner in which it is to be lighted or guarded;
This means that each local authority does have its own interpretation of what constitutes a skip, how it should be marked, located and lighted.
Specification of a builders skip
Within the regulations A Builders Skip means a container designed to be carried on a road vehicle and to be placed on a highway or other land for the storage of builders materials or the removal and disposal of builders rubble, waste, household and other rubbish or earth and shall when carried on a road vehicle comply with the appropriate Motor Vehicle Construction and Use Regulations.
In Bradford for example a skip is defined as a container that shall not exceed 5m in length and 2m in width.Whereas in Newcastle for example a 20ft storage container will be managed under a skip permit.Some Councils have a scale of charges depending on the size of the skip and others have a single price for any size.
As a minimum:
- The builders' skip shall be clearly and permanently marked with the owner's name and with his telephone number or address.
- The container should be clearly visible at all times with vertical red and yellow fluorescent reflective markings at each end in accordance with the Builders Skips (Markings) Regulations 1984 (SI 1984/1933) (effective 1 January 1986) and BSS All _PHONE_.
- If on a highway then cones and lights are required to comply with Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual and the ends shall be painted yellow. During the hours of darkness the owner shall provide, maintain and light four yellow lamps, fixed securely to the skip(s), one to each corner.
- The skip(s) shall be placed in such a position as to be clearly visible to traffic approaching from either side at a distance of not less than 100m (330ft)
- It shall neither be placed within a distance of 30m (100ft) from a road junction nor in such a position to block any sight line at an entrance, junction or bend nor to impede surface water drainage not obstruct access to property, fire hydrants, gullies, manholes and apparatus of any
- Statutory Undertaker, nor be placed in such a position as to contravene any Traffic Order or regulation made under the Road Traffic Acts. It/they shall, when sited in the carriageway, be placed near the edge of the carriageway with the longer side parallel thereto.
- It/they shall not be placed in such a position as to partly or wholly obstruct a footway without the express permission of the Strategic Director for Environment & Infrastructure or his representative, to be granted only after consultation and agreement with the Police and conditional upon a 1m. wide pedestrian walkway being provided in the carriageway properly protected and signed and with yellow lights lighted at night.
If a local authority deems that the skip falls outside of their interpretation of section 139 for a builders skip then they will often cite Highways Act 1980 section 169 which can be summarised:
A license is required where building, demolition work or the alteration, repair, maintenance or cleaning of any building, requires to erect or retain on the highway any scaffolding or other structure which obstructs the highway (hereafter in this section referred to as a "relevant structure").
The container is being considered as a 'Relevant structure'. The requirements of this Relevant Structure vary dependent on the local authority. Some may treat this as a construction site requiring hoarding, cones and illumination. Others may simply require a hoarding license.
What To Do
For every site we need to establish the ownership of the land upon which skips or containers are placed. Housing association land is most likely to be owned by the council and will require a permit.
Please notify Red Kite Recycling of any intended site at least a week in advance in order to determine ownership with the council, provide quotes for Purchase order, apply for any permits and order skips.

Measurement of porphyrins and porphyrin precursors in blood, urine and faeces are the main tests for assessing patients with symptoms that may be caused by porphyria. Measurement of enzyme activities in cells and DNA testing for mutations are most useful for assessing people who may be affected but do not currently have symptoms and close relatives of affected persons.
- Measurement of porphobilinogen or PBG in urine is the most important test for diagnosing an acute neurological porphyria.
- Measurement of porphyrins in urine, faeces, red blood cells and blood plasma are used to differentiate the various types of porphyrias that may have the same symptoms.
- Measurement of enzyme activity in red blood cells may be used to identify relatives of persons with AIP who also are potentially affected.
- Identification of specific mutations in genes (DNA testing) is used to identify potentially affected persons and is available through Porphyria Specialist Laboratories (see the list for links at the end of this article).

Pain and suffering reports/Federal Rule 1006 Summaries
Demonstrative Evidence Image 2Pain and suffering reports/Federal Rule 1006 Summaries
Pain and suffering reports (also known as Federal Rule 1006 summaries) developed by an expert witness can help the judge and jury understand the details of treating an injury. Instead of bringing on a parade of witnesses, an option is to retain an expert who can review the medical records and summarize the pain and suffering. The Federal Rule of Evidence Rule 1006 states that contents of voluminous material may be presented by the summary. The comments on that rule state that the use of summaries is often the only practical means of presenting the contents of voluminous evidence to the judge and jury. The person who prepared the summary should be available to testify at the time of trial as to the method of preparation of the document and/or to give an explanation of the summary.
A nurse is an ideal person to prepare such a report. While doctors specialize in diagnosing and treating disease, nurses care for the whole person. The identification of complications, the administration of pain medications and the analysis of medical records falls within the scope of practice of a nurse. Physicians tend to minimize pain and suffering. A great deal of attention has been focused on this issue recently. Efforts are being made to teach physicians how to appropriately manage pain by prescribing sufficiently strong narcotics incorrect dosages. One of the reasons for the development of clinical practice guidelines on the management of pain was due to the prescription of inappropriate medications and dosages. Nurses are frequently involved in assessing and relieving pain. A nurse is able to explain to the jury the medical procedures involved in the patient's care, using the language they can understand so that they can appreciate what the plaintiff went through.
The Federal Rule 1006 Summary which summarizes medical records is a strategic tool that should not be overlooked when the circumstances of the case warrant the preparation of this type of report. The types of cases in which this type of report is helpful to include the following:
 1. The patient has suffered serious physical injuries as a result of personal injury or malpractice.
 2. The medical records detail the pain and suffering experienced by the patient.
 3. The patient is dead, cognitively impaired or otherwise unable to provide a coherent description of the suffering that accompanied the injury.
The typical components of a pain and suffering report include a narrative summary of the patient's medical history, a vivid description of the complications and problems experienced by the patient, quotes from the medical record, and charts of complications and pain medications. Medical records, patient diaries and interviews with the patient can be used to prepare this type of report. The length of the report can vary from 5-12 or more pages, depending on the size of the medical records and the injuries.
Federal Rule 1006 summaries are used to reach a settlement in the case. The following case histories demonstrate that this tool brings results. Med League provided experts in these cases:
1. A woman was admitted to a hospital for treatment of cervical cancer. The oncologist made an arithmetic error and ordered a total dose of chemotherapy that was 4 times larger than it should have been. The pain and suffering report provided vivid descriptions of how the plaintiff's body became swollen, her skin peeled off in strips and blood oozed from her eyes. The case was settled out of court for $1.4 million with a structured settlement payout of $4 million. The family received $500,000 for the woman's 15 days of pain and suffering.
2. An 18 month-old toddler developed severe esophageal burns after he drank acrylic nail primer at a beauty shop. He went through a year of painful dilations of his esophagus before he finally healed. Using the pain and suffering report, the attorney was successful in settling the case for $100,000 and acknowledged that the size of the verdict was quite good considering that there were $10,000 in medical expenses and the child sustained no permanent damage.
3. An elderly man developed complications after a gall bladder surgery and slowly died over a three month period of time. The testimony at the time of the trial focused on the pain and suffering endured by this man during his agonizing death. The jury awarded $560,000.
4. A physician received a head injury when she was rear ended. A pain and suffering report was prepared using her diary which she kept on her computer. The 250 pages of daily entries were summarized in an 8-page report accompanied by a lengthy chart which detailed her symptoms. The attorney was able to settle the case for $700,000 which was the policy limit.

Tree – Determining Age
Q: I am trying to find out the age of several live oak trees at my father-in-law's house in north Florida. Is there some general way to determine their age based on their diameter?
A: According to Certified Arborist Brian Arnold _PHONE_), determining the age of the oaks through non-invasive observation would be almost impossible. The diameter of the trunk is influenced by many factors, including soil conditions, rainfall and sun exposure. The trunk of a hundred year old tree growing in a good spot might be twice the size of an equally aged tree growing in poor conditions.
It is possible to count tree rings using a tool called an increment borer. The tool bores a hole in the tree trunk and removes a slender core of tissue reaching the center of the trunk. Brian advises against the borer tool because the hole can give insects and diseases access to the trunk interior.
Maybe your best bet is to try contacting previous owners of the house to ask about their earliest memories of the trees.

The organic peaches, pears, grapes and apples Kinju Watanabe grows in Fukushima City have shown no detectable radiation, despite soil contamination in the area of 2,000 Becquerels per kilogram, and other farmers' fruits testing at 40-80 Bq/kg.
Although grown in contaminated sectors, Fukushima organic produce distributor Takehiro Makuta says all the food he distributes has tested "ND," not detected—below the detection limit of the measurement device, not necessarily zero.
Some researchers theorize that bacteria and fungi that flourish in organic soil prevent the crops from absorbing cesium, or transmute the cesium into non-radioactive barium.

After six months to a year of planning to create your customer-driven agenda, your Customer Advisory Board convenes. At the first break, the sponsoring company Customer Advisory Board team is concerned – okay, they are panicked – because the discussion is not staying on point. No one can figure out why. If we could be a fly on the proverbial wall, we might see what's going on.
- A too-dominant speaker – be it a member or executive – is likely taking too much air time.
- The remedy is expert Customer Advisory Board facilitation to draw out the members that are sitting on the sidelines.
- And, those advance interviews will have surfaced topical interests among the members that the facilitator can leverage to redirect or expand the conversation.
- The account review on-site before the meeting is a good opportunity to sort out the members most likely to want air time so that you have a solid "game day" plan to flank and divert as needed.
- One-way meeting content is the other culprit.
- Usually this is because the company is telling, or worse yet selling, and the content overlooks framing questions for members to create the basis of a discussion.
- Simply ask and build in thoughts about: What does the company want to know? What do members want to know? The advance interviews produced material clues, so integrate them as jumping-off points for discussion.
- The walk-through two weeks before the meeting and on-site create good opportunities to uncover the "talking heads" orientation.
Hearing and speaking abilities of members and executives are too inconsistent to ensure that all can literally be heard. Customer Advisory Board meetings are often held in large ballrooms or other spacious facilities. Acoustics are not always terrific. Two best practices resolve the vagaries of sound quality.
- Table top microphones are available for each two participants.
- All participants leading a discussion wear a microphone.
These resources are critical, not nice-to-have, especially if you have over 20 participants gathering. And, regardless of how well someone thinks their voice can carry, everyone hears better when voices are projected.
Your Customer Advisory Board members are spending time and effort to provide guidance for your business. Your company is expending considerable resources – money and Leadership Team commitment. Attending to the detail steps to ensure everyone is heard during the meeting enables a return on the investment for all.

Change in pulse transit time and pre-ejection period during head-up tilt-induced progressive central hypovolaemia
- 327 Downloads
Traditional vital signs such as heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) are often regarded as insensitive markers of mild to moderate blood loss. The present study investigated the feasibility of using pulse transit time (PTT) to track variations in pre-ejection period (PEP) during progressive central hypovolaemia induced by head-up tilt and evaluated the potential of PTT as an early non-invasive indicator of blood loss.
About 11 healthy subjects underwent graded head-up tilt from 0 to 80°. PTT and PEP were computed from the simultaneous measurement of electrocardiogram (ECG), finger photoplethysmographic pulse oximetry waveform (PPG-POW) and thoracic impedance plethysmogram (IPG). The response of PTT and PEP to tilt was compared with that of interbeat heart interval (RR) and BP. Least-squares linear regression analysis was carried out on an intra-subject basis between PTT and PEP and between various physiological variables and sine of the tilt angle (which is associated with the decrease in central blood volume) and the correlation coefficients (r) were computed.
During graded tilt, PEP and PTT were strongly correlated in 10 out of 11 subjects (median r = 0.964) and had strong positive linear correlations with sine of the tilt angle (median r = 0.966 and 0.938 respectively). At a mild hypovolaemic state (20–30°), there was a significant increase in PTT and PEP compared with baseline (0°) but without a significant change in RR and BP. Gradient analysis showed that PTT was more responsive to central volume loss than RR during mild hypovolaemia (0–20°) but not moderate hypovolaemia (50–80°).
PTT may reflect variation in PEP and central blood volume, and is potentially useful for early detection of non-hypotensive progressive central hypovolaemia. Joint interpretation of PTT and RR trends or responses may help to characterize the extent of blood volume loss in critical care patients.

Through the application of economic concepts, theories, and principles, examination candidates should assess the role of economic agents in the allocation of scarce resources, and adopt multiple perspectives in understanding real-world economic issues. Examination candidates recognise trade-offs and consequences from decision-making, and arrive at well-reasoned economic decisions. Candidates should develop knowledge, skills, and values, and take an active interest in Singapore's economy and the global economy as contributing and concerned citizens.
To help economics students thrive in a fast-changing VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) world, one of the key 21st Century Competencies emphasised in the Economics Curriculum is Sound Reasoning and Decision Making. These are under the domain of Critical and Inventive Thinking. Given the importance of decision-making skills, the decision-making approach through an economic lens will be used to front disciplinary thinking in A Level Economics.
In this economics syllabus, decision-making is now framed as a process where economics students analyse how decisions are made from the perspectives of different economic agents (e.g., consumers, producers, and governments), adjusting for changes where appropriate.
Examination candidates will take account of the benefits, constraints, costs, perspectives, and necessary information, while recognising the impact of intended and unintended consequences arising from the decisions made, and corresponding trade-offs. Examination candidates will also recognise that decision-making by economic agents can have multi-faceted, short and long term implications that impact other economic agents.
Examination candidates will understand how the market forces of demand and supply interact to bring about market equilibrium (i.e., the economic concepts of the price mechanism, invisible hand, and coordination of the allocation of resources). Examination candidates will also examine the strategies of firms to achieve their varied objectives – and profit maximisation is not the only goal or aim of firms.
In addition, candidates understand that while rational decisions made by consumers and producers are necessary for the functioning of markets, these individual decisions may lead to inefficient and inequitable outcomes. And in response, governments may intervene through public policy measures to improve efficiency and equity, while recognising limitations, unintended consequences, and possible trade-offs of government intervention. This theme provides insights into real-world microeconomic issues and opportunities to deepen economic reasoning, analysis and application of microeconomic concepts to both Singapore, and the global economy.
Thank you for reading and cheers.

g. patient outcome, diagnosis) for a patient.
 - When determining a feature score in dependence upon the data items, different transformations may be applied to determine the feature scores in dependence upon the data items. The transformations may vary between models, with different transformations being applied to determine scores associated with different model. The transformations may vary for different types of features score, with different transformations being applied to different data items.
 - In some examples, the score for a feature is determined in dependence upon a single data item. For example, the time of admission of a patient into a hospital provided in a data item, may be used by the conversion module to produce a feature score representing this time. However, in other cases, the score that is assigned to a particular feature may be determined in dependence upon the number of times that the relevant data items appear in the set of data items. For example, in the example of FIG. 10, the score assigned for abdominal pain may be higher due to multiple data items indicating abdominal pain that are present in the standard format data.
 - Although the score for certain features may be dependent upon the number of times that certain data items appear in the set of data items, there may be certain limitations upon the counting of data items when determining the score. Specifically, the score that is calculated in dependence upon the number of data items depends upon whether a plurality of the data items were recorded within a certain time window. If a plurality of data items were recorded within a predefined time window, those plurality of data items are counted as being a single data item for the purposes of determining the feature score. The time windows repeat sequentially one after the other.
 - In an example, a time period of one day may be defined for calculating a score associated with abdominal pain. A plurality of sequential time windows of one day are defined. Any data items indicating abdominal pain that fall within a particular one day time window are treated as a single data item for the purposes of determining the feature score.
 - Another way in which the score that is assigned to a particular feature may depend upon the applicable time associated with the data items is through the use of a decay function. For example, when determining a score, more weight may be given to records that were made more recently or for which the applicable time is more recent. For example, when determining the score to be assigned for chest pain, the information that chest pain was recorded on 5 Feb. 2018, may be given more weight than the information that chest pain was recorded on 10 May 2017. The calculation of the score is performed using rule based operations executed by the conversion module. The rules may be based on mathematical functions, for example linear or sigmoid. Parameters for the rules can be adjusted (gradient, minimum/maximums, coefficients) during the optimisation phase (S340 in FIG. 7). For example, the contribution to a score for chest pain may be adjusted to approach zero as the time elapsed since a data item indicating chest pain approaches 2 years.
 - Another way of generating the score is to use a binary score for indicators which are either present or not present. For example, a family history of the particular disease is scored by 1 or 0 for a patient, regardless of the number of times a family history of the disease appears in the set of data items for that patient. For example, a person either has a family history of heart disease or they do not, and a score associated with a family history of heart disease will be set to either 1 or 0.
 - Another technique for generating a score that is performed by the conversion module is to determine the score in dependence upon the rate of change of a numeric value indicating by a series of data items. For example, the conversion module may determine a score indicating the rate of change of a patient's health condition in dependence a plurality of data items, each comprising a descriptor for that health condition.
 - Another way of generating a score is to generate an average of values which have been reported over a time period. For example, if a column in the training data set relates to smoking, and the patient has reported different number of cigarettes being smoked per day at different times in their history, an aggregate number can be recorded as the score. The aggregate number could, for example, be an average or a mean, or any other statistical representation of the individually reported numbers. One possibility is a rolling mean of previously collected values. Such a rolling mean may be applied to determine a score associated with blood test values.
 - The conversion module also applies categorisation to determine the scores for a particular patient. For example, each data item may be placed into a category depending upon a value for a feature that it represents. A statistical operation (e.g. averaging or determining standard deviation) is then performed to the categorisation values to obtain a score for the feature. A numeric value is associated with each category and is assigned for each data item in that category. The average of the numeric values for each data item is determined and used to provide a score for a patient. The standard deviation of the determined numeric values may also be determined and used for determining the score for the patient.
 - In some cases, as mentioned, the data items may comprise metadata. For example, a data item representing a blood test measurement may comprise an indication of the units of measurement. The conversion module calculate the features scores in dependence upon this metadata. For example, the conversion module may interpret the descriptor (e.g. containing a blood test result) using the metadata (e.g. the unit of measurement for the blood test result).
 - The following description provides an example explanation of machine learning processes that may be used to implement embodiments of the application. Furthermore, a description of the hardware in which embodiments may be implemented is provided.
 - Machine Learning is a branch of research for enabling computer systems to solve problems and perform tasks without explicit instructions. Machine learning systems autonomously analyse data sets, referred to as 'training data', in order to train mathematical models during a training phase. Once trained on the basis of the training data, the mathematical model is then applied to data sets to make predictions and/or decisions during an operating phase.
 - There are two distinct types of machine learning, referred to as supervised learning and unsupervised learning. In supervised learning, the training data for constructing the model includes both input data and desired output data. The parameters of the model are tuned on the basis of the input data so as to result in a model that is able to approximately generate the output data from the input data. The output data typically comprises a set of labels that have been provided by humans to label the sets of input data.
 - Supervised learning may be used to perform classification of input data into a particular category. For example, a mathematical model that is trained to perform optical character recognition may, when provided with data representing an image of a letter of the alphabet, output an indication of the one of the 26 different letters of the alphabet that is shown in the image. This type of model is referred to as a classifier model, since the image is classified into one of a set of categories (i.e. letters of the alphabet). Another type of supervised learning model may be used to perform regression analysis of input data. In this case, the output data comprises one or more continuous values rather than a discrete class. For example, a mathematical model may be trained to output an estimate for the value of a property given a set of input data, including location, size, age, etc.
 - In unsupervised learning, the training data for constructing the model includes input data, but does not include labels or outputs of the model. Instead of training the model to reproduce the output data from the input data, in unsupervised learning, the model is trained on the basis of commonalities in the training data and provides outputs based on the presence or absence of those commonalities in the future input data. Unsupervised learning has applications in dimensionality reduction and in cluster analysis.
 - One type of model widely used in the field of machine learning is the artificial neural network. Neural networks comprise arrangements of sets of nodes which are interconnected by links and which interact with each other. The principles of neural networks in computing are based on information about how electrical stimuli convey information in the human brain. For this reason, the nodes are often referred to as neurons. They may also be referred to as vertices. The links are sometimes referred to as edges. The network can take input data and certain nodes perform operations on the data. The result of these operations is passed to other nodes. The output of each node is referred to as its activation or node value. Each link is associated with a weight. A weight defines the connectivity between nodes of the neural network. Many different techniques are known by which neural networks are capable of learning, which takes place by altering values of the weights.
 - FIG. 4 shows an extremely simplified version of one arrangement of nodes in a neural network. This type of arrangement is often used in learning or training and comprises an input layer of nodes, a hidden layer of nodes and an output layer of nodes. In reality, there will be many nodes in each layer, and nowadays there may be more than one layer per section. Each node of the input layer Ni is capable of producing at its output an activation or node value which is generated by carrying out a function on data provided to that node. A vector of node values from the input layer is scaled by a vector of respective weights at the input of each node in the hidden layer, each weight defining the connectivity of that particular node with its connected node in the hidden layer. In practice, networks may have millions of nodes

This is a 1816 model infantry briquet. This example is interesting for a few reasons. First off its scabbard is marked with an anchor, associating it with the French Marines who were stationed on board French vessels. These are fairly scarce, but as there is no matching mark on the briquet itself I cannot guarantee that the two came together originally.
Secondly, this blade was made by Weyersberg, one of the oldest sword makers in the world (known today as WKC). You can see a little crown peering at the junction of the hilt and blade, hiding the king's face itself which is common on imported blades from this maker. The blade was then probably assembled and sold by Henraux in Paris. An armorer who had access to a Solingen depot.
The sabre is massive, and in great shape, very solid with patina but very little pitting. The scabbard is in good overall shape, missing the sewing at the back but still maintaining its shape perfectly. the is a little bit of a break around the chape which makes it unstable. This is not a major problem though, and it could be eventually repaired.
A great piece for the collector of French pieces.

Water control structures to be opened on Harris Chain
PALATKA – The St. Johns River Water Management District will open the Burrell and Moss Bluff locks and dams in Lake and Marion counties on Dec. 5 due to rising water levels. The structures will be open for the first time in more than 2½ years.
Lake levels on the Harris Chain are managed according to a flood control regulation schedule that requires releases once water levels reach certain elevations. The area has received above normal rainfall over the past year and lake levels have risen, leading to a return of the discharges.
"The District will release some water from lakes Dora, Harris, Eustis and Griffin because of the increasing water level in those lakes," said Jay Brawley, Lake Apopka and Upper Ocklawaha River Initiative leader for the District. "These releases will allow for flood protection and will return flow through the Harris Chain of Lakes and the Upper Ocklawaha River."
Management of lake levels allows for a variety of activities, including boating and fishing, and positively impacts ecologic functions. If the lake levels drop to minimum desirable levels, the District will re-evaluate the discharges.
An extended drought led the District to stop all discharges through the chain's water control structures in spring 2012. In June 2012, after receiving input from the public, the District's Governing Board voted to end discharges until water levels returned to the minimum desirable levels.
Because Lake Apopka is four inches below its minimum desirable level and 12 inches below regulation, no discharges are needed at this time through the Apopka-Beauclair Lock and Dam in Lake County. If the regulation schedule is reached for Lake Apopka, releases will begin there as well.

Despite recent efforts to characterize the uncertainties involved with geological profiles and soil and rock properties, there has been limited study on their spatial correlations and how such features may be included in the engineering decisionmaking process. This paper presents an integrated framework for geostatisical analyses, which incorporates the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) method with the Matern autocovariance model. Statistical tests are conducted including those for data normality, constant variance, and outliers, which ensure the fundamental assumptions of REML are not violated in the residual analyses of site data, meanwhile offering simple checks for potential errors in the dataset. The proposed approach also allows quantification of uncertainties in the subsurface profiles at the unsampled locations. The approach is illustrated through investigations on spatial correlation features of geological profiles at two project sites in Hong Kong. The number of irregularly spaced boreholes varies from 150 to 350 in the two cases, and the large volume of data enables the variations in rockhead levels to be studied through the proposed framework. In addition, the existence of geological faults in one of the sites is found to significantly affect the spatial variability of the rockhead level, as indicated by the reduced scales of fluctuation and spatial dependence, which corresponds to increased uncertainty in areas intersected by faults.

In 1953, the Santa Susana Field Laboratory also became a center of excellence for research, development and testing of nuclear energy, non-nuclear liquid metals and alternative energy sources, including solar.
Much of the work conducted on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy at the Energy Technology Engineering Center, or ETEC, involved metallic sodium systems. This research on liquid metals technology was used to support the design and development of nuclear power throughout the U.S.
The Sodium Reactor Experiment was one of the first commercial nuclear power plants to provide electricity to the public, powering the city of Moorpark in 1957. The SRE experienced an accident in 1959 when overheating caused fuel damage in the reactor's core. During the accident, primary power and cooling were maintained, coolant continued to circulate throughout the reactor core and the reactor vessel remained intact, preventing a meltdown. Following the accident, the SRE was repaired and operations continued, without incident, until the end of the project in 1964.
The System for Nuclear Auxiliary Power (SNAP) program was developed to test SNAP nuclear reactors in a simulated space environment. The SNAP10A was the first U.S. reactor to be placed into orbit when it was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in 1965.
ETEC also supported studies on advanced solar collectors for commercial electricity production, as well as the development of energy conversion processes designed to turn coal into liquid and gas fuels.


North east pet owners urged to record cat activity
Cat owners are being asked to record what their pets catch in terms of small animals. Picture: Complimentary
Have your say
PET owners are being urged to record precisely what their cats drag in as part of a pioneering project to record the species of mammals spread across the north east of Scotland.
The bizarre survey has been launched to help in the creation of a Mammal Atlas for Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray and the Cairngorms National Park.
Cat owners across the area are being asked to record the various animals their beloved felines bring in through the cat flap. And the survey organisers are even planning to host two "Look What the Cat Brought In" events to help moggy owners to identify the various mammals.which have fallen prey to their pets.
A spokeswoman for Aberdeenshire Council explained: "The North East Scotland Biological Records Centre (NESBReC) is compiling the Mammal Atlas for 2015 but is appealing for help from local walkers, pet owners and animal lovers.
"Small mammals are particularly under recorded and taking a note of what the cat catches and takes home is a very useful way of compiling the data."
She added: "A survey by the Mammal Society in 2001 found that the average household cat can catch up to 40 creatures a year. Mice tend to be the most popular mammal prey, followed by voles and shrews. Larger mammals, such as rabbits,weasels, stoats and squirrels were also recorded. Cats can roam up to over half a mile away each night and have a home range of 28 hectares (70 acres).
"Records of the animals that cats have caught could be the only way for NESBReC to get information on mammals in certain areas."
Councillor Isobel Davidson, the chair of Aberdeenshire Council's Education, Learning and Leisure Committee, said:"The Mammal Atlas is an important project for the north-east of Scotland and I am glad to see NESBReC coming up with interesting and engaging ways for people to get involved.
"It might be unpleasant when the cat brings an animal into the house, but now at least it can be a useful indicator of the mammals living in your area."
Glenn Roberts, the NESBReC manager, said: "We really welcome everyone in the North east of Scotland to get involved in the creation of a Mammal Atlas. The most common species are often overlooked, and even if you have never looked at mammals before, it is easy to get involved in recording wildlife and photos are always welcomed."
Pet owners are being asked to record what species their cat dragged in, and where and when they saw it.
The spokeswoman added: "Pictures can be sent to NESBReC even if you are not sure what the mammal is."
NESBReC is a partnership between Aberdeenshire Council, Aberdeen City Council, Scottish Natural Heritage, the University of Aberdeen, the RSPB and Forestry Commission Scotland.

circumstances; in this case, as a side-effect of the nodes repelling each other from a greater distance, they are more inclined to line up in such a way that they don't intersect. This could create other problems, however, such as the bunching you observed (neighbouring nodes are having too great an effect on nearby clusters) and, in general, greater repulsion forces will lead to diagrams that are more (unnecessarily) spread-out.
 You should be able to improve the layout of the nodes by tweaking just the constants (and leaving the force calculations alone) – you may have to increase/decrease them by several orders of magnitude to get a noticeable effect. The addition operator in the Vector class (as pointed out in comments on this post already) could benefit from the improved accuracy that the Math.Atan2 method offers (vs my Math.Tanh approach) – after changing the implementation, my results improved measuredly.
 Once again, thanks for taking the time to explore the algorithm – I hope this goes some way to answering your questions.
 - vote
 Thank you for your answer, I'll continue trying to adjust the constants.
 I understand why it is wrong to change the laws of physics 🙂 but if I don't succeed in adjusting, I will probably have to leave these changes and settle with the side-effects (which are acceptable for my problem domain). I will also consult with my professor.
 Thank you again and continue the good work!

 Thanks for this! I might be making a silly mental mistake here but it seems like you don't need to calculate these angles at all. If you know your hypotenuse (i.e. your distance between your points) – you can get your x and y force component as: xForce = xDiff/dist * force and yForce = yDiff/dist*force. It seems that by converting to angle form and then getting back your rise and run by using atan then sin and cos you're just using up lots of computation cycles and as noted above possibly introducing inaccuracies. I could be totally missing something though! Regardless a very helpful tutorial/demo.
 - vote
 All we have to work with are the magnitude and direction for each of the two vectors being added; these do not form right-angled triangles, so there is no hypotenuse. The only technique I know of to add vectors is to break them into their x and y components, add these together and then obtain the new magnitude (Pythagorus' Theorem) and direction (arc tangent). If you know of a more efficient way to add vectors in terms of their magnitude and direction only, i'd be very happy if you shared it 🙂
 - vote
 Again, could be missing something but the idea is never to compute your vector (magnitude and angle) in the first place. For both the attraction and repulsion algorithms, for each node you compute the force between it and every other node, summing all of the xForces and yForces as you go. If point m is at (0,0) and point n is at (4,3), then distance between the two is sqrt(4^2 + 3^2) = 5. We can then do our force calculations and get the total force along this hypotenuse using the computed distance. Then, the x-component of that force should just be (4-0)/5 * force and the y-component should be (3-0)/5 * force. This should be equivalent to what I believe you're doing, which is using atan to get the angle from rise over run (4/3), and then later demcomposing it before you add your vectors to get x – cos(theta) * force – and y – sin(theta) * force. But that's just going in a circle right, as sin(atan(y/x)) * force = y/dist * force – where dist is the hypotenuse. You should never need to go to angle form in the first place. And although the two ways should be equivalent when doing something O(n^2) like this doing trig functions is hugely costly, not to mention possibly introducing inaccuracies as previously discussed.
 Its also completely possible that I'm being stupid and missing something obvious. My trig is definitely a bit rusty!
 - vote
 You make a fair point. It may be worth investigating whether an x/y component representation results in faster computation times for the force-based algorithm (as a whole) compared to the magnitude/direction representation. It will still be necessary (or, at least, most convenient) to compute angles to determine the force vectors – but by making vector addition less costly, there could be a real difference in performance. I'll make this the subject of a future article!
 - vote
 Still not sure why "It will still be necessary (or, at least, most convenient) to compute angles to determine the force vectors". If you have everything separated into x and y components you can just sum all x forces and all y forces for a given node and then add xForce to xVelocity and yForce to yVelocity. Should never have to deal with angles at all.
 - vote
 When calculating the attraction and repulsion forces, it's convenient to use the magnitude & direction representation; the magnitude of the force is based on the distance between two nodes and the direction is always the bearing from one node to another. The force calculations would be more complex if they were written in terms of X and Y components.
 However, I have done some preliminary tests using an alternative Vector implementation that stores X and Y components instead of magnitude and direction; it offers a constructor which accepts magnitude and direction, to allow the force calculations to remain unchanged. This means that trig functions are only used when calculating the forces and not during vector addition. Using the demo application I included with this post, i'm seeing an approximate 33% performance boost using this approach – so I guess I have you to thank for that! 🙂

 Hi Brad,
 Is it easy to implement the changes, to achieve the performance boost, to the rev1 code supplied with this article?
 BTW thanks for the already great rev1 version with I just found and got running in LinqPad 🙂

 Hi Peter,
 I've updated the article – see in the Download section. This is a drop-in replacement for the old Vector class.
 Hope this helps!

 I have found this very interesting. Do you have a version in Visual C++ (e.g. MFC)? How easy do you think it would be to port? Any tips?
 - vote
 I have not ported the code to C++ myself, but the force-based algorithm itself would not be difficult to implement in C++. The most complicated functionality to port would be the drawing/rendering code (since that is very API-dependant) – however, if you are a whiz with GDI+ or other common graphics APIs for C++, you should be fine.
 - vote
 I implemented a force diagram in CUDA (Nvidia's Graphics Language), which is basically C++ (all the classes and such are standard C++). Its super fast, you can basically simulate millions of nodes in real time, and I'm going to try to make it scale to multiple GPUs. Currently it is coupled with a webserver, outputting JSON to be consumed by a webpage (for which I use processing.js to do the visualization). Eventually I'll just use an OpenGL context to render 3D network graphs straight to screen, but that's a bit in the future. I'm planning on building this into a full-fledged GPU-powered graph database, but I'll put up a link to my github repository of the code soon (next week or two hopefully) which may be of use to you – since its basically all C++ (you could port the CUDA kernels to C++ with ease, since CUDA is basically a subset of C++).

 Hello Bradley,
 Thank you very much for uploading your work. I would like to know is it possible to reimplement your example in WPF? I am student, and my task is very similar to this, but I need to provide solution in WPF, which yet I don't know very well.. Can you tell me your opinion about that, how complicated it would be?
 - vote
 I believe that it would be relatively simple to rework my implementation in WPF. The biggest difference is that WPF does not use GDI+ (System.Drawing namespace) for rendering, rather the functionality of its own System.Windows.Media and System.Windows.Imaging namespaces. Where GDI+ is a raster-based API, WPF is vector-based. While the current Draw() method is called every time the screen needs to be updated, drawing the diagram using a Graphics object, you would simply output a Drawing object containing various Geometry objects that represent the nodes (e.g. EllipseGeometry) and the connectors (e.g. LineGeometry). Once you assign this Drawing object to a Window (I believe they can be placed inside many different WPF elements; Image, Canvas, Panel, etc) the WPF engine will take care of drawing it for you.
 There are equivalent types in the WPF namespaces for most (if not all) of the types used in my implementation – for example, the Point and Rectangle classes. Once you replace the GDI+ rendering code with equivalent WPF code, everything else in the algorithm remains the same; the calculation of forces, the vector mathematics, they are not dependant on the presentation layer. I do not have much experience with WPF myself, but I think this exercise would

Dutch Caribbean Whale Sanctuary this year
Before the end of 2012, the Netherlands will set up a marine mammal sanctuary for whales and dolphins in the Dutch Caribbean waters, recently announced the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation. This is one of the outcomes of a meeting with the neighboring countries of the Dutch Islands in the Caribbean, the French Islands, the USA, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, about the cooperation between whale sanctuaries.
Whales like the humpback whale often migrate thousands of kilometers from cold northern waters in summer to the tropical Caribbean Sea in winter, so that cooperation is necessary for effective protection.
The participants also agreed to examine the possibilities of setting up a regional network of underwater microphones. This will help to map the sounds made by whales and dolphins, and can register noise from among others ships and speed boats. Noise pollution from ships and speed boats disturbs the possibilities for the whales to communicate with each other. The sound equipment makes it possible to responsibly make the whales visible to tourists.
The French 'Agoa' marine mammal sanctuary and the Dutch Caribbean Islands had already been doing research on the marine mammals around the French and Dutch Windward Islands. This collaboration will be continued. As such, joint surveys will be conducted in which a group of researchers will observe in a structured manner where cetaceans such as humpback whales, sperm whales and orcas, are exactly found and in what numbers. This will take place both around the Windward and Leeward Islands.
The meeting, organized by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation, an IUCN State Member, took place on 4-5 June 2012 on the St. Maarten Island. The purpose of the meeting was the development of joint initiatives and programs for research and protection of whales and dolphins. The initiative builds on the marine mammal action plan of the regional Protocol for the protection of species and areas, the SPAW (Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife) Protocol.
For more information, please contact Paul C. Hoetjes, Policy Coordinator for Nature at the National Office for the Caribbean Netherlands, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture & Innovation.

JTU Institute for Education and Culture
09 July 2009
The Japan Teachers' Union (JTU) is the oldest and largest union for teachers in Japan. NFER was commissioned by the JTU to undertake a comparative study of England, Scotland and Finland's working teachers practice. The JTU compared the workload conditions of teachers in England and Scotland to those in Japan, in order to advocate for change to policies on Japanese teachers' working conditions. The aim was to see how good working conditions affected academic performance.
The NFER approached a sample of headteachers, deputy headteachers, assistant headteachers and class teachers across England and Scotland, who were asked various questions about their working life. Finland was of interest because of its high pupil academic attainment, and England due to its compulsory national curriculum testing. Schools in Scotland were approached because of their similarity to English schools but without compulsory national testing. Representatives from the JTU also visited four schools in England and Scotland to observe working conditions and practices for themselves.
The report contains comparisons of the following:
- hours worked
- time preparing for class
- perceptions of teacher tasks
- pressures associated with changes to education policy
- attitudes of student\families
- difficulties with taking breaks and days-off.
This summary report is a fascinating insight into the differences in teachers' working conditions across four countries.


John Moses Browning
gunsmith, inventor
Born: 1/21/1855
Birthplace: Ogden, Utah
Raised by Mormon parents, he made his first gun from scrap iron at age 13. He founded the Browning Brothers Company, which was responsible for several innovations in firearms, including the breech-loading single-shot rifle (1879) and the Browning automatic pistol (1911). The company's history is entwined with that of World War I: the pistol used to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand in 1914 and thus begin the War was a Browning, and the Browning machine gun (1917) and the Browning automatic rifle (1918) figured prominently in the War.
Died: 11/26/1926

Extractables and Leachables
Single-use technology has grown in both complexity of design and criticality of application in the past twenty years, offering increased flexibility while significantly reducing the risk of contamination in manufacturing equipment. The implementation of single-use technology into a process requires a well-defined plan that minimizes surprises during the later stages of implementation.
With the integration of single-use systems (SUS)* into downstream processing and thus closer to the final drug product, considerations of extractables and leachables (E&L) have become a critical issue within the industry. Lack of standardization,...

Statewide exploratory commercial scallop surveys will commence from 1 April 2023. The aim of the surveys are to identify beds of scallops that might be considered for opening during the 2023 season or a future season.
A scallop dredge can be deployed for the purpose of a scallop survey in all State Scallop waters other than scallop dredge prohibited areas, waters less than 20 metres deep and areas identified as a priority for targeted surveys. Commercial quantities of scallops can be retained with a maximum of 50 tonnes per scallop area (areas 1-6 in the map below).
The North West and White Rock/ Great Oyster Bay have been identified as priority areas for targeted surveys, as indicated on the map below. These surveys will be overseen by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies Survey (IMAS).
It is proposed to undertake a camera survey of the Boags Commonwealth Marine Park in the North West scallop area, the aim of this survey will be to identify if there are sufficient scallops in the marine park to serve as a spawning biomass closure for the region.
Tasmanian scallop areas.
Exploratory survey- takes place during the statewide scallop survey period, used to locate and identify potential candidate open areas, commercial scallop fishing can take place and commercial quantities of scallops landed within an approved framework. Fishers must measure up to 50 scallops from survey tows.
Targeted Surveys- target known scallop beds usually identified during an exploratory survey, information from the survey will be used to make decisions regarding potential open areas. Targeted surveys will follow a more structured format developed by IMAS and are typically designed provide estimates of scallop density/ biomass and size structure. A targeted survey will have an IMAS observer on board to oversee the survey and data collection.
Opportunistic surveys- exploratory surveys can take place as scallop fishers transit from an open area to port or whilst participating in other fisheries. No scallops can be retained. Fishers must measure up to 50 scallops from survey tows.
A survey authorisation is required to participate in any survey.
