Grasping the seedling disinfection before the spring sowing, the spring rodent control, the Qingyuan sweeping and the spring irrigation, and the work of killing and killing the spring, can prevent and control the occurrence of crop pests and diseases in the whole year can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Rice seed disinfection
Seed-borne bacteria is the main source of re-infection of various diseases. Seed disinfection can reduce the spread of diseases and effectively reduce the incidence of diseases in the year, especially for the prevention and treatment of disease.
(1) Directly soak the rice seeds with 25%-500% of the prochloraz cream 2500-3000 times for 36-48 hours. After soaking, the seeds can be directly germinated without washing. (2) Disinfect with 85% strong chlorin solution, first pre-soak the grain with water for 8 to 12 hours, pick up the drip dry water, and soak it in 500 times of strong chlorin dilute solution for 12 hours, rinse with water. Net, then germination sowing in the usual way. It is recommended to use a breathable cloth bag to load seeds during germination. It is forbidden to use germination bags such as plastic bags and snakeskin bags to germination, and wash them 2-3 times a day during germination to keep the seeds moist.
Rice seedbed disinfection
Before planting, the smooth water will be moistened, and then evenly sprayed with 70% dikesone wettable powder or 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder 800 times, and then sown, which can reduce the rot of the seedlings. The occurrence of illness and nursery.
Spring is the peak period of pests and breeding in the agricultural areas. Each village must seize this critical period, and carry out a rodent control before the spring sowing spring, and use the village and village as the unit to uniformly release the rodenticide bait. Promote the rotation of anti-coagulant rodenticides that are highly effective, safe, and free of secondary poisoning, such as enemy sodium Salt, sea-killing ether, and bromadiolone . It is strictly forbidden to use highly toxic rat poisons that are prohibited by the state, such as tetramine and fluoroacetamide.
The spring irrigation and mites work is carried out in time before the emergence of the wintering mites of the mites such as the mites and the mites. In the winter idle field, the ploughing field will be irrigated in time, and the running water will be irrigated for 2 to 3 times in the winter green fertility field, which will accelerate the decay of the rice blast and the death of the overwintering insect source, and reduce the base of the insect source.

order to find duplicates. This process is commonly referred to as de-duplication.
Below screen shot shows an example Data Flow that performs several common transformations. Data is imported from Excel and transformed in a few steps. Right before the destination, a Fuzzy Grouping is added to the Data Flow.
When you edit the Fuzzy Grouping, you will find some similar settings to the Fuzzy Lookup. Note that on the Connection Manager tab, shown in below screen shot, the only property is the connection to SQL Server. This is because there is no reference table that the Fuzzy Grouping needs to join. It just needs the connection where it can store its temporary data.
Each column in the input has two settings that you can set. The first is the checkbox (below screen shot shows a few columns selected). This determines whether the Fuzzy Grouping will use this column to identify duplicates. The Pass Through column enables columns to appear downstream even when they are not used in the identification of duplicates.
Another thing that above screen shot highlights is that the Fuzzy Grouping Transformation provides the same capability as the Fuzzy Lookup to set a minimum similarity on a column-by-column basis.
On the Advanced tab, shown in below screen shot, you can fine-tune the Fuzzy Grouping to specify the overall Similarity threshold. If a potential matching row does not meet this threshold, it is not considered in the de-duplication. You can also set the output columns.
Just as in the Fuzzy Lookup, you can see the output by adding a Data Viewer to the output path from the Fuzzy Grouping. Below screen shot illustrates how the Fuzzy Grouping works. A _key_in column and a _key_out column are added to the Data Flow. When the Fuzzy Grouping identifies a potential match, it moves the row next to the potential match row. The first row key is shared in the _key_out column. The _key_in identifies where the rows originated.
As the example in Figure 10-20 shows, there are a couple of matches. LastName was misspelled in _key_in value of 6, but because the similarity _score is 95 percent, the engine determined it was a match (it was above the similarity threshold of 80 percent defined in Figure 10-19). In another couple of rows highlighted, the street address is slightly different.

The key to the Fuzzy Grouping is the _score column. If you wanted to just go with the Fuzzy Grouping results and de-duplicate your source, you would add a Conditional Split Transformation to the Data Flow and allow only rows through the Condition Split whose _score == 1 (the double equals is the expression language Boolean logic match check). Alternately, you could define custom expression logic to choose an alternate row.
As the preceding two sections have demonstrated, both the Fuzzy Lookup and the Fuzzy Grouping provide very powerful data cleansing features that can be used in a variety of data scenarios.

About Supercritical Girl
"With Great Properties, comes Great Opportunities"
Supercritical Girl (@cindy_supercritical) found out about the wonders of supercritical fluids from a special course in thermodynamics during her undergraduate days, where she learnt about the applications of supercritical carbon dioxide for solvent-free extraction. Ever since then, she has been fascinated with the powers of supercritical fluids and its applications.
With the Singapore-MIT Alliance (MEBCS) scholarship for both MSc and PhD studies, she began her journey of working with supercritical fluids. (Thesis title: Fabrication of controlled release devices using supercritical Fluid Techniques). She spent some time at MIT (Chemical engineering department) at Professor Jefferson Tester's lab, learning and working with postgraduate students in MIT on supercritical fluid equipment. She subsequently developed her first set of custom built supercritical CO2 processing unit for her research. Completing her PhD in 2008, she joined leading supercritical CO2 Research and Development company in the Netherlands FeyeCon D&I B.V as Project Leader, working on projects using supercritical CO2 for food, pharma and medical applications.
Returning home to Singapore together with her family, Supercritical Girl then joined Newcastle University, Singapore as Assistant Professor with the Chemical Engineering Program (Newcastle University in Singapore). She continues to pursue her research in supercritical CO2 applications and is committed to develop new applications for food and sustainable development. Supercritical Girl is committed to increasing the awareness and knowledge of supercritical fluid processes to the public as well as local industries. She held the role of Director of Excellence Learning and Teaching for Newcastle University in Singapore and as acting Director of Operations for Chemical Engineering Program, and was also promoted to Associate Professor in 2018.
Today, Supercritical Girl is back at her alma mater (National University of Singapore, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) where she is looking forward to new and exciting ways to enhance the learning experiences of students and to integrate her research interests with her teaching.
She believes in the advantages of supercritical CO2 research, because of the unique properties of the fluid! "With GREAT PROPERTIES, come GREAT OPPORTUNITES"

TECH TIP: Picatinny vs. Weaver Rail Specifications
Readers often ask "What's the difference between a Weaver scope rail and a Picatinny Rail?" The answer is not as simple as it seems. The dimensions of a Picatinny Rail should be consistent (from one rail-maker to another), since there IS a government spec. Conversely, there is some variance in "Weaver-style" rails. The width of the groove is the most important difference between Picatinny Rails and weaver rails. "Mil-spec" Picatinny rails will have a grove width of 0.206″ while Weaver rails typically have a narrower, 0.180″ groove width.
Brownell's has a helpful GunTech Article that discusses the Picatinny Rail vs. Weaver Rail. That article explains:
"What are the differences between the 'Picatinny' and the 'Weaver' systems? The profile of the two systems is virtually identical. Depending on the quality of the machining done by the manufacturer, the two systems should be indistinguishable from the profile. The key difference lies in the placement of the recoil grooves and with width of the grooves. MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) grooves are.206″ wide and have a center-to-center width of.394". The placement of these grooves has to be consistent in order for it to be a true 'Picatinny'MIL-STD system. Weaver systems have a.180" width of recoil groove and are not necessarily consistent in a center-to-center measurement from one groove to the next.
In many instances, a Weaver system has a specific application that it is machined for, so interchangeability is not necessarily an issue. A MIL-STD-1913 system must adhere to the specifications listed above in order for it to be considered MIL-STD, since the military desires uniformity in the recoil grooves to allow for different systems to be mounted on the weapon with no concern for compatibility.
Now, what does this mean to you? Boiled down, it means that accessories designed for a Weaver system will, in most cases, fit on a 'Picatinny' system. The reverse, however, is probably not the case. Due to the larger recoil groove, 'Picatinny' accessories will not fit a Weaver system. There are, of course, exceptions to every rule, but for a good rule-of-thumb, [full-width] 'Picatinny' won't fit Weaver, but Weaver will fit 'Picatinny'."

How does AI Dungeon encrypt player data?
How does AI Dungeon encrypt player data?
How does AI Dungeon encrypt player data?
Data encryption is an important piece of our strategy to protect players' privacy. As you would expect, AI Dungeon encrypts player data, including the text of adventures.
However, using an AI Language model creates some unique constraints on encryption strategies, so there are some nuances in how encryption can work with an AI experience like AI Dungeon.
AI language models must be sent prompts in plain text. This means that any encrypted story data that is going to be passed to the language model must first be decrypted to use with AI. This is true for ALL AI-based services, including AI Dungeon and other platforms similar to ours.
When data is encrypted, a key is required to unlock that data. Without a key, we wouldn't be able to display your adventure text, it would be rendered as gibberish. We also wouldn't be able to send text to the AI for generating the next part of an adventure.
The encryption key can be stored locally (on your device) or remotely (on the server). Most consumer applications, including AI Dungeon, store the encryption key on the server.
Other platforms use local storage for their encryption keys, since storing it locally makes unauthorized access to data more difficult, in theory. Local keys are more difficult to access, but that doesn't eliminate the need to transmit plain text to the AI model. As was mentioned earlier, AI requires plain text. That means plain text data is still being transmitted between the player's device and the AI servers. Since text is decrypted before going to the AI server, whether the key is stored locally or on a server, we feel the additional security benefit of client-side key storage is minimal, but also comes with some important tradeoffs.
Local key storage has negative tradeoffs. For instance, if you forget your username or password, you'll lose access to your data permanently. Thousands of our players would have permanently lost access to their accounts and stories if we had used local keys. Local key storage also introduces complications in supporting multiple devices on a single account.
Because of these tradeoffs, we've decided that server side storage of encryption keys best serves the needs of our players. It let's us help players recover their data if a password is forgotten, and it also makes it easier for us to support native applications for iOS and Android.
We may consider adding client side key storage as an option for players who understand the risks and tradeoffs.

How Medicaid Recovers the Cost of Long-Term Care From Your Estate After You Die
If Medicaid pays for nursing home care, the state can try to collect reimbursement for these costs from the person's assets after he or she dies.

Medicaid will often pay for nursing home care even for those who have assets that could be used to pay for care. This is possible because Medicaid does't count assets such as a house or car (these are called noncountable assets). But after the person's death, the state Medicaid program can try to collect medical costs from the deceased person's estate. This is called "estate recovery."
Medicaid Estate Recovery
The federal government has an established policy requiring that all states must try to recover the costs paid on behalf of those who received certain types of Medicaid coverage during their lifetime. All states attempt to recover long-term care costs, including home health services and hospitalizations while in long-term care, and some try to recover regular Medicaid costs as well (though they can generally only recover costs paid for those who were 55 or older or institutionalized when they received Medicaid benefits).
When an individual becomes eligible for Medicaid, federal law requires that the state send the individual a written notice describing the rights of the state to recover Medicaid-paid medical costs following the individual's death.
Ways States Recover Costs
While individual state laws on estate recovery vary, they all boil down to two different ways to recover costs paid: recovering from the deceased person's estate and putting liens on the person's property.
Recovering From the Estate
The first method states use is to seek repayment from the estate of a deceased Medicaid beneficiary. Each state defines the term "estate" -- meaning what type of property Medicaid will go after -- differently. Some states are fairly conservative about what they will try to take -- they have the right to recover costs from real estate, personal property, and other assets only if they are included within the deceased person's "probate estate." A probate estate includes only assets that were owned solely by the individual at the time of death, where there is no beneficiary or joint owner designated. Joint accounts, payable on death accounts, and contracts that have designated a beneficiary are not included in the probate estate.
Other states use a broader definition of the term estate that includes any assets an individual had legal title to or interest in at the time of death, including property that bypasses probate. In these states, the estate includes assets that the individual attempted to convey to a survivor, heir, or assign through an arrangement such as a joint tenancy, tenancy in common, survivorship, life estate, or living trust.
To recover expenses paid under the probate definition of estate, the state files a claim in the probate estate of the decedent just as would any creditor. Under the more expansive definition of estate, the state must enforce its rights by notifying heirs of its rights under state law.
Lien on Real Estate
The second method for recovering Medicaid costs paid is to place a lien on any real property owned by the person who received Medicaid coverage. During the person's lifetime, the state places a lien on the person's property. When the property is sold, either before or after the person's death, the state can collect repayment from its share of the sale proceeds, as would any other lienholder.
When States Can't Recover Costs
Even though the states must recover for costs paid when appropriate, there are certain prohibitions that states must follow. States cannot recover Medicaid-paid costs in the following situations.
 - Surviving spouse. The deceased person's spouse is still living, regardless of where that spouse lives.
 - Minor, blind, or disabled child. There is a surviving child under the age of 21, blind, or disabled, regardless of where that child lives.
In addition, states cannot recover costs from the former home of the deceased person in the following situations.
 - Sibling caregiver. There is a sibling who resided in the home for at least one year prior to the institutionalization of the deceased and who continues to reside in the home and has an equity interest in that home.
 - Child caregiver. There is a child who resided in the home for at least two years prior to the institutionalization of the deceased, who continues to reside in the home, and can demonstrate that the care they provided delayed the institutionalization of the deceased.
When States Can Forego Cost Recovery
One situation where a state may "waive recovery" (decide not to try to collect repayment) is when the deceased person's heirs can prove that recovery of Medicaid costs will impose an "undue hardship." Most states consider undue hardship to be when when the deceased person's inheritors have limited income and the estate is their sole income-producing asset (for example, a family farm or other family business that produces a limited amount of income).
The state must notify the deceased person's inheritors of its recovery rights and allow them an opportunity to claim an exemption from estate recovery (such as undue hardship or being a sibling caregiver).
A state can also waive estate recovery when it is determined that it would be too expensive to try to collect repayment from the estate. Each state is allowed to establish its own rules on what is not cost-effective.
Limit on Amount That Can Be Recovered
There is a limit on how much can be recovered by the state. States cannot recover more than the total amount spent by Medicaid on the individual's behalf at or after age 55. Also, states may not recover more than the amount remaining in the estate after claims of other creditors are fully satisfied. The order of payment by which creditors are paid is set forth in state law.

Abstract: Coal fires have been found to be a serious problem worldwide in coal mining reserves. Coal fires burn valuable coal reserves and lead to severe environmental degradation of the region. Moreover, coal fires can result in massive surface displacements due to the reduction in volume of the burning coal and can cause thermal effects in the adjacent rock mass particularly cracks and fissures. The Wuda coalfield in Northern China is known for being an exclusive storehouse of prime coking coal as well as for being the site of occurrence of the maximum number of known coal fires among all the coalfields in China and worldwide, and is chosen as our study area. In this study, we have investigated the capabilities and limitations of ALOS PALSAR data for monitoring the land subsidence that accompanies coal fires by means of satellite differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) observations. An approach to map the large and highly non-linear subsidence based on a small number of SAR images was applied to the Wuda coalfield to reveal the spatial and temporal signals of land subsidence in areas affected by coal fires. The DInSAR results agree well with coal fire data obtained from field investigations and thermal anomaly information, which demonstrates that the capability of ALOS PALSAR data and the proposed approach have remarkable potential to detect this land subsidence of interest. In addition, our results also provide a spatial extent and temporal evolution of the land subsidence behavior accompanying the coal fires, which indicated that several coal fire zones suffer accelerated ongoing land subsidence, whilst other coal fire zones are newly subsiding areas arising from coal fires in the period of development.

text: first i have a quick question, for average power of a transverse harmonic wave the equation has the quantities tension, frequency and amplitude. the question asks me to find how much i need to change each quantity to increase the power by a factor of 100, i understand all that but then it asks me which quantity is the easiest to change. i got that the tension needed to be increased by a factor of 10000, and the frequency and amplitude only needed a factor of 10, im not quite sure if frequency or amplitude is easier to change, im guessing frequency because amplitude cannot be directly changed, whereas frequency you just move the string up and down faster? anyways to the question im having trouble with: 1) the linear mass density of a nonuniform wire under constant tension decreases gradually along the wire so that an incident wave is transmitted without reflection. The wire in uniform for -infinity < x <= 0. In this region a transverse wave has the form y(x,t) = 0.003cos(25x-50t) with x,y in meteres and t in seconds. From x = 0 to x =20m the mass density decreases from initial mass density to (initial mass density / 4). For 20<= x < infinity, the mass density is constant at (initial mass density / 4). a) what is the wave velocity for large values of x b)what is the amplitude for large values of x? c) give y(x,t) for the large values of x i got part a and it turns out to be 4 m/s, but i dont know what to do to get the amplitude, also in part c how do i find the k and w(omega)? is the k constant?

the self variable in a closure. This is necessary for the WebSockets access to have access to the component's state.
Then, the App constructor registers handlers for the following messages: 'board', 'color', 'turn' and 'victory'. In each cases it updates the relevant parts of the state. Note, the handlers are registered in the constructor, but will be called later as the game progresses.
let self = this
this.state.socket.on('board', board => {
this.setState(...self.state, {board: board})
});
this.state.socket.on('color', color => {
this.setState(...self.state, {color: color})
});
this.state.socket.on('turn', player => {
if (player = this.state.color) {
this.setState(...self.state,
{message: "You're up. What's your move?",
yourTurn: true})
} else {
this.setState(...self.state,
{message: player + ' is thinking...',
yourTurn: false})
}
});
this.state.socket.on('victory', player => {
let newState = {yourTurn: false}
if (player = this.state.color) {
newState['message'] = 'You win!'
} else {
newState['message'] = 'You lose!'
}
this.setState(...self.state, newState)
});
}
Remember the onColumnClick function the board receives to invoke when a column is clicked? It's a one-liner that just sends a 'click' message to the server.
onColumnClick = column => this.state.socket.emit('click', column);
The render() function is pretty straight-forward. It renders the header, then the InfoBar and then the board passing the necessary props from the state.
render() {
return (

Connect Four

<InfoBar color={this.state.color}
message={this.state.message} />
<Board board={this.state.board}
onColumnClick={this.onColumnClick}
yourTurn={this.state.yourTurn}/>

)
}
Here is an illustration with some arrows of a victory:
WebSockets are a great technology for client-server applications where the server needs to send messages, events or notifications to the client without being prompted or polled constantly.
In this post, we went though a full-fledged example of a Node server and React clients that communicate over WebSockets and together implement the classic Connect4 game. As a bonus, we used SVG for rendering the board and pieces.
Now, it's your time to go out there and build awesome stuff with WebSockets.

Abstract
The influence of the light microscopical stains, Calcofluor white and Congo red, on the process of chitin microfibril formation of the chrysoflagellate alga Poterioochromonas stipitata (synonym Ochromonas malhamensis) was studied with light and electron microscopy. There is a concentration-dependent inhibition of lorica formation with both dyes. In the presence of the inhibitors malformed loricae are made, which do not show the usual ultrastructure and arrangement of the chitin microfibrils. Instead of long, laterally associated microfibrils, short rods or irregular networks of subelementary (15-25 .ANG.) fibrils are found. Microbial assembly obviously takes place on the accessible outside of the plasma membrane. There must be a gap between the polymerization and microfibril formation reactions, allowing the stains to bind to the polymerized subunits. Thus, later association of these units to form microfibrils is disturbed. The microfibril-orienting mechanism also depends on normal microfibril formation. A model summarizing these hypotheses is suggested.

Perry Medina uses this trick to create an automatically expanding outline around his text. The trick is to use a multileader and then do a quick grip-edit of the leader so that the leader has a length of zero and is essentially invisible.
"Set up a multileader style with the following settings:
1) "In the Leader Structure tab, first change the Set landing distance to zero, then uncheck the Automatically Include Landing check box. (You cannot set the landing distance if the Automatically Include Landing check box is unchecked).
2) "In the Content tab, make sure the Frame text option is checked. Then set the Landing gap to 0.01.
"Set this multileader style current and draw a multileader and type in a few words. Select the multileader, click on the grip at the arrowhead end of the leader and then stretch it to and click on the grip at the opposite end of the leader. (You may need to zoom into the text so you don't pick the wrong grip). You have just set the leader length to zero and you are left with an expandable outline that will conform to the shape of your text!
"You may need to tweak the Landing gap number depending on your other settings. If you don't have the proper Landing gap set, you may see a small dot that may show up when plotting. The small dot is the leader. The number should be set so the end of the leader is on top of the outline around the text. By doing this the leader is not visible."
NOTES FROM CADALYST TIP PATROL: Once you get one of these set up you can copy it and use it where you want to. You could also create a similar object using a dimension style. That might be a bit easier to use because you don't have to worry about the leader. In the dimension style manager, create your style, turn on text framing and turn off all dimension lines, extension lines, arrows, etc.

Can you not just check Text frame under the mulitleader style (or Properties Pallette)and remove the leader to get the same effect? I use that alot and works the same without having to mess with the grips.

Version 2.2.0 of Project Configurator will help make migrations of both configurations and projects easier and safer by addressing some key challenges we've heard from users.
While planning or working on a migration, many users want to know the right way to handle configuration items that exist both at the source and target instances. Actually, there is not a single "right way" to do that. Sometimes the default behavior of Project Configurator (apply the configuration it had at the source) is correct, but in some other situations you would prefer to rename one of the objects so that they become different unrelated items.
Either way, the first step is detecting these coincidences between the configuration in both instances, that might eventually become a conflict during the migration if they are not intended to represent the same thing. In order to detect them, the JIRA admin running the import would review carefully the trace of a simulated import. This posed two problems. First of all, in migrations of medium or high complexity it can become a time consuming and error-prone task. Second, it would detect only those coincidences that imply changes to the existing configuration of the target object. Most often, this is what a conscious JIRA admin would be after, but in some cases even a coincidence without changes might be relevant. For example, if both instances have a status called "On hold" but meaning two completely different things, you would not want after the migration to have issues that are in the same status, but for two very different reasons.
Version 2.2.0 of Project Configurator addresses these concerns with two new features that will help make migrations of both configurations and projects seamless. The first feature is called "Import conflict detection". If you supply an import file (either XML "config-only" or a zip with complete projects) it will produce a report with all configuration objects in JIRA that will be treated as equivalent to objects represented in the new configuration. So this removes the need to review a simulated import trace to detect the coincidences. All of them are shown in a single report. Even better, the report will also show where those configuration objects are used at the target instance. This facilitates analyzing the impact of the potential conflict and also renaming the coincident object (if this is the chosen option).
The other feature is called the "Used by" report. It shows the dependencies between configuration objects in a JIRA instance, in other words, where they are being used. For example, for what projects has a custom field values in issues? Is a custom field used in any workflow? And a screen? Is this field configuration used for more than one field configuration scheme? The "used by" report provides a compact answer to all these and similar questions. It is also easily navigable, as the user can click on an object that uses another and see where the first one is being used, thus moving up in the chain of dependencies.
We expect this report to be very useful when a JIRA admin wants to reorganize configuration items, for example renaming some of them or making sure that a project does not rely on configuration objects shared with other projects. Or simply when an object is going to be changed and we want to know the impact of that change!

Object Description
An oil painting by Andreas Kodros made in 1994. The bottom is a tan/pink colored ground with rocks of the same color on the edge. In the middle of the rocks is a dead tree that has two roots on the ground and then has the trunk and a few branches off of that. The water behind the rocks is a dark blue and gray color that meets with the sky which is almost all grey clouds except the top left corner where there is a little blue sky and white clouds.
Dr.Andreas Kodros was born in Athienou, Cyprus and earned his medical degree at the University of Athens School of Medicine in 1952. He finished his residency in Otolaryngolgy at the University of Illinois and then went on to practice medicine at the Weiss Memorial Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, and the Children's Memorial Hospital until 1987. Dr.Kodros also studied art at the Pancyprian Gymnnasium in Nicosia, Cyprus. He mostly uses oils but also works with watercolors, acrylics, and airbrush. His art has been on exhibt at many places in Cyprus and the United States. He passed away in 2002 and his wife a year later.

Private Online Philosophy Tutoring in Macau
You can rely on Varsity Tutors to help you find quality philosophy tutoring in Macau. Philosophy is the discipline that examines questions about the nature of existence and knowledge. Whether you're studying one of the dozens of additional subfields in philosophy, such as Political Philosophy, Social Philosophy, or Business Ethics, you can connect with a qualified philosophy tutor in Macau who can provide the support you need through one-on-one sessions.
Studying with an experienced tutor who is familiar with the topics you're learning can benefit you in many ways. As a student enrolled in the University of Macau or a different local institution, you can expect to encounter many topics that challenge your critical thinking. China philosophy tutors can provide a comprehensive overview of a range of subjects from formal fallacies and civil disobedience to behaviorism and digital ethics.
No matter what questions you have about these topics, your Macau philosophy tutor can answer them or help you find the answer right away. Each session takes place in a one-on-one setting without classroom distractions, allowing your tutor to focus solely on your learning needs. This also allows them to provide a much more personalized learning experience.
With Macau philosophy tutoring, your tutor can procure customized learning materials that cater to your preferred learning style. Private tutors can create visual aids like charts and diagrams for visual learners or focus on listening and speaking for auditory learners. Whether you're studying the relationship between law and morality or methods of cross-cultural philosophy, your tutor can use a learning style or try different techniques until they find one that works for you.
Professors typically have a set curriculum they have to follow for the academic year. That means they may only have a short amount of time to review a certain topic before they have to move on. A benefit of Macau philosophy tutoring sessions is that your tutor can move at your pace. For example, if you need more time reviewing topics like decision procedures or environmental ethics, your tutor can allocate more time in a session until you're ready to move on.
Likewise, if you're already familiar with the theory of evolution or objectivity in science, your tutor can simply skip these topics altogether. This allows you to make the most out of the time you have available with your tutor.
You can connect with an experienced philosophy tutor in Macau who can help you set up an effective learning plan that considers your academic strengths and learning goals. As your tutor gets to know you, they can identify areas of opportunity and incorporate those into your lesson plan. Whether you're studying a subfield like the philosophy of law or the philosophy of art, a lesson plan that is centered on you personally can help you work more effectively towards your individual academic goals.
With philosophy tutoring in Macau, you can learn how to identify common fallacies and develop strong arguments with your tutor through our Live Learning Platform. This is a virtual classroom that includes several handy features that can help you discover and build up any knowledge gaps. For example, you can use the live video chat feature to discuss topics like mind-body dualism or theories of confirmation with your tutor. They can also use the platform's virtual whiteboard to explain competing theories of reality like momentariness, emptiness, non-dualism, and realism.
Another feature that you may find useful is the shared document editor. Your tutor can use it to review your coursework and offer immediate feedback. All sessions are automatically recorded on the platform, so you can reference previous lessons whatever you have extra time to study.

text: The site depicted in this painting is Pirlinyarnu (Mt Farewell), about 165km west of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory. Two Jangala men, rainmakers, sang the rain, unleashing a giant storm that collided with another storm from Wapurtali. The two storms travelled across the country, from Karlipinpa near Kintore. A Kirralanji (brown falcon [Falco berigora] ) carried the storm further west until it dropped the storm at Pirlinyarnu, forming an enormous Maliri (lake). A 'mulju' (soakage) exists in this place today. At Puyurru the bird dug up a 'warnayarra' (rainbow serpent). The serpent carried water with it to create another large lake. Whenever it rains today hundreds of 'ngapangarlpa' (bush ducks) still flock to Pirlinyarnu. The 'kirda' (custodians) for this Jukurrpa (dreaming) are the Jangala/Jampijinpa men and Nangala/Nampijinpa women.

Beyond the aetiology debate: the "great LSD scandal" at Newhaven Private Hospital & the social foundations of mental health legislation in Victoria, Australia
AuthorLomax, Megan Kristine
AffiliationSchool of Historical and Philosophical Studies
Document TypePhD thesis
Access StatusOpen Access
© 2017 Dr. Megan Kristine Lomax
This research presents a case for the extension of existing analyses of Australian psychiatric scandals beyond the conclusion that such events are an inherent feature of the profession by virtue of its failure to resolve the aetiology debate. A mid-century impasse in the aetiology debate – the continuous shifting over time of professional commitment between organic and environmental aetiologies of mental illness – has been identified as the catalyst for the emergence of the therapeutic paradigm of eclecticism that fostered the deep sleep therapy and 'Therapeutic Community' programs that were central to Australia's two infamous psychiatric scandals at Chelmsford and Townsville, respectively. While these two affairs were enduring the scrutiny of commissions of inquiry, the recommendations of which translated to the legislative reform of mental health services in the states of New South Wales and Queensland, a third such scandal was unfolding at Newhaven Private Hospital in Victoria involving the "injudicious use" of therapeutic LSD. By the late 1980s and early 90s, a number of former "patients" of Newhaven emerged claiming that they had never suffered any mental illness and that the LSD they had received had not been administered for therapeutic purposes but rather as a recruitment tool for a fringe religious sect known as The Family that had commandeered the hospital and the loyalty of a number of its staff. What constituted the scandal at Newhaven, however, was the fact that these activities continued unchallenged despite the implementation of statutory regulations – the Poisons (Hallucinogenic Drugs) Regulations 1967 – designed specifically to protect against the abuse of therapeutic hallucinogens. Having avoided any formal inquiry of its own, the Newhaven case represented not only a compelling narrative history opportunity, but also a test of the robustness of the prevailing argument that such scandals emerge as a consequence of the profession's failure to achieve consensus on the aetiology of mental illness against the implication that inadequate legislation facilitated the abuse. Using the case of Newhaven as a working example, this research analyses the historical mental health legislation of Victoria and parliamentary debates to construct a legislative history of the aetiology debate and confirm its role in the emergence of psychiatric scandal, arguing that the Poisons (Hallucinogenic Drugs) Regulations 1967, and indeed mental health policy more broadly, were in fact products of the debate. Furthermore, it demonstrates how, far from being insulated within the profession of psychiatry, the debate itself was informed by wider prevailing social, cultural, political and economic trends. The abuse of therapeutic LSD unfolded under permissive regulations which reflected the permissive nature of broader mental health policy embodied in the Mental Hygiene Acts and their signature initiative of deinstitutionalisation. This permissiveness was a symptom of the underlying atmosphere of eclecticism that characterised mid-century psychiatry in Victoria as it sought to accommodate simultaneously the biological and social bases for the eugenic and community-based measures, respectively, that developed in response to the co-emergent social forces of the 'mental hygiene' and 'anti-psychiatry' movements.

We show here that this technique works equally well for metallic hydrides. Additionally, we find that the thermodynamic data obtained optically on thin Pd-H films agree very well with Pd-H bulk data. This confirms that hydrogenography is a valuable general method to determine the relevant parameters for hydrogen storage in metal hydrides. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.


Creating Bode Plots
by Jeffrey Kantor (jeff at nd.edu). The latest version of this notebook is available at _URL_
Summary
This notebook demonstrate uss of the Python Control Systems Library to create and annotate Bode plots. Documentation of the control systems library is available here.
Initializations
These are the standard initializations with the Python Control Systems Library.
The control library is imported with full prefix control. This is good practice to avoid name conflicts with other libraries.
The control library has a bug where it continues to make use of the deprecated hold command from matplotlib. This results in warnings being issued. Use the warnings library to turn off these distracting warnings.
In [1]:
%matplotlib inline
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import control
import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')
Creating Bode Plots
Specify a Transfer Function
Given a transfer function with time delay
$$G(s) = 0.2 \frac{0.5s + 1}{1.5s^2 + 0.5 s + 1}$$
the first task to create an object representing the transfer function.
In [2]:
# requires coefficients of the numerator and denominator polynomials
# the coefficients are given starting with the highest power of s
G = 0.2*control.tf([0.5,1],[1.5,0.5,1])
print(G)
 0.1 s + 0.2
-------------------
1.5 s^2 + 0.5 s + 1
Adding Time Delay
Time delay is a common feature of process control applications. The current version of the Python Control Systems Library does not provide a specific representation for time delay. However, the library does provide a function pade to create high-order Pade approximations to time delay.
$$G_p(s) = e^{-0.25s} G(s)$$
Here we add a third order pade approximation for a time delay of 0.25 time units.
In [3]:
(num,den) = control.pade(0.25,3)
Gp = control.tf(num,den)*G
print(Gp)
 -0.1 s^4 + 4.6 s^3 - 86.4 s^2 + 576 s + 1536
-------------------------------------------------------------
1.5 s^5 + 72.5 s^4 + 1465 s^3 + 1.205e+04 s^2 + 4800 s + 7680
Bode Plot using Default Options
Function control.bode() returns values of the magnitude ratio, phase lag, and frequency (in rad/time) for a given transfer function. It also creates a bode plot as a side effect.
In [4]:
mag,phase,omega = control.bode(Gp)
Specify Frequency Range
The default frequency range created by bode is often too wide. Use numpy.logspace() to Fortunately, it is possible to specify a desired set of frequencies at which to evaluate the Bode plot. The frequencies are always specified in radians per unit time.
In [5]:
w = np.logspace(-1.5,1,200)
mag,phase,omega = control.bode(Gp,w)
Setting Other Plotting Options
Bode plots can be customized with several key options as demonstrated in this cell. Note that setting Hz = True only changes the x-axis of the resulting bode plot, both input and output frequencies are still specified in radians per unit time.
In [6]:
mag,phase,omega = control.bode(Gp,w,Hz=True,dB=True,deg=False)
Adding Features to the Bode Plot
In addition to creating plots, the bode function returns numpy arrays containing the magnitude, phase, and frequency.
Crossover Frequency and Gain at Crossover
This data can be used to annotate or add features to a Bode plot. The following cell interpolates the phase data to find the crossover frequency, then interpolates the magnitude data to find the gain at crossover.
In [7]:
w = np.logspace(-1,1)
mag,phase,omega = control.bode(Gp,w);
plt.tight_layout()
# find the cross-over frequency and gain at cross-over
wc = np.interp(-180.0,np.flipud(phase),np.flipud(omega))
Kcu = np.interp(wc,omega,mag)
print('Crossover freq = ', wc, ' rad/sec')
print('Gain at crossover = ', Kcu)
Crossover freq = 5.042527421277537 rad/sec
Gain at crossover = 0.014611811647525856
In [8]:
mag,phase,omega = control.bode(Gp,w);
plt.tight_layout()
ax1,ax2 = plt.gcf().axes # get subplot axes
plt.sca(ax1) # magnitude plot
plt.plot(plt.xlim(),[Kcu,Kcu],'r--')
plt.plot([wc,wc],plt.ylim(),'r--')
plt.title("Gain at Crossover = {0:.3g}".format(Kcu))
plt.sca(ax2) # phase plot
plt.plot(plt.xlim(),[-180,-180],'r--')
plt.plot([wc,wc],plt.ylim(),'r--')
plt.title("Crossover Frequency = {0:.3g} rad/sec".format(wc))

Using jQuery UI in CGI C++ Web application
Friday December 07, 2012 ()
In this demonstration we will illustrate how to integrate jQuery into a cgicc C++ web application. We will also show how to use cgicc forms and cookies to manage user session. The example that follows also illustrates using, jQuery's Tab view, Dialog, Accordion panel and button widgets.
The application described here was tested in Debian on Apache2. This application can be found here _URL_ See the "related" article near the bottom of this page for help in setting up Apache2 virtual host in Debian Linux for use with cgi. It is also an introduction to cgicc.
To enable a page to use jQuery and jQuery UI, the add the following snippet to the head section of your page.
<head>
 <title>Sample</title>
 <link rel="stylesheet"
 href="_URL_ />
 <script src="_URL_
 <script src="_URL_
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css" />
 <script>
 $(function() {
 $("#tabs").tabs();
 });
 </script>
All files referenced in the above code (line 4) can be downloaded to your own server and change those lines reflecting the location of the download files. Line 4 is the UI base/default theme. Change this theme to the desired theme only make sure you have downloaded or pointed to that theme css file as in line 4. Line 9 above is the tab view handler. It will look for a <div /> in the page with an id of tabs (#tabs). To use a <div /> using its class use .tabs (or any other name desired) instead. The dot (.) that preceeds the name signifies that the name is a class name.
jQuery, UI, and themes and its documentation can be found here _URL_ See the documentation for additional options for creating widgets.
Documentation for cgicc can be found here _URL_
Below is our cgicc page enabled with jQuery UI with start theme. Lines beginning in line 41 corresponds to line starting at line 4 above. Lines from 55 corresponds to line 9 above.
Line 77 show how a tab view is defined. Notice the id attribute tabs, this corresponds to line 53 in the handler code.
The same principle applies to other jQuery UI widgets. You define a handler code and a selector which is either an id (preceeded with a #) or a class (preceeded with a dot (.) in the head section, and then create a div in the body with that id or class.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "cgicc/CgiDefs.h"
#include "cgicc/Cgicc.h"
#include "cgicc/HTTPHTMLHeader.h"
#include "cgicc/HTMLClasses.h"
#include <glog/logging.h>
//#include <stdio.h>
//#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace cgicc;
int main(int argc, char **argv) {

 Cgicc cgi;
 const_cookie_iterator cookies;
 const CgiEnvironment& env = cgi.getEnvironment();
 string logged = "new";
 // Check if user is currently logged
 for (cookies = env.getCookieList().begin();
 cookies != env.getCookieList().end(); ++cookies) {

What is it?
Ethical investment will ensure that your cash is not invested in companies that destroy the environment, are involved in the arms trade, back animal testing, support repressive regimes or are involved in gambling or pornography.
You can also avoid firms which have a poor employee rights record or promote alcohol or tobacco consumption.
On the other hand, there may be positive reasons for investing in a particular company. For example it may have specific environmental protection practices or have ethical employment practices, such as recognising trade unions or treating workers fairly.
But ethical investment isn't just about a clear conscience - it can also make good financial sense. The theory is that companies which behave responsibly run less risk of hitting problems with regulators, costly court actions, strikes or boycotts of their products.
The ethical investment market is growing fast and there are now a whole range of ethical products available including savings accounts, unit trusts, investment trusts, Isas and pensions.
There are a few financial institutions which attempt to do business in an ethical way, such as the Co-operative Bank, Shared Interest and Triodos Bank. Opening a savings account at one of these will ensure that your money is not lent to companies involved in the arms trade, or which violates employment laws, or any number of other ethical concerns.
However you may have to sacrifice a little bit of interest as most of the market-leading accounts come from less ethically-responsible banks and building societies.
Stock market investments
If you want to invest ethically in the stock market there are a range of funds available. The fund managers invest according to strict ethical criteria and research companies thoroughly to ensure that they stick to their ethical corporate principles.
There are more than 30 UK funds which apply ethical or environmental criteria. To discover whether a particular fund matches your own concerns, you should study the fund manager's stated investment policies.
If you prefer to invest directly in shares then you could contact the Ethical Investment Research Service (Eiris) on 0207 _PHONE_ (_URL_
Eiris is a charity which aims to raise public awareness of ethical investment and it will screen your existing portfolio for positive and negative features and create a list of companies that match your chosen ethical criteria.
Investing directly will give you the right to attend a company's annual general meeting, when you will be able to raise any concerns with the firm's bosses.
Eiris also publishes the Money & Ethics guide which includes details of all ethical products available and the ethical investment policies of the different funds available. The charity maintains a list of advisers who put at least 40% of their business in ethical funds.
Some ethical funds perform as well as more traditional funds but others lag behind many non-ethical funds because of the investment restriction placed on fund managers. Large companies with sound track records tend to have diverse interests. They are as a result less likely to meet a fund manager's ethical criteria.
Some ethical funds have a natural bias towards smaller companies. These firms tend to be regarded as more risky than investing in larger companies because they usually have less financial muscle and a shorter track record. But they can also offer potentially higher rewards.
TIP: As with any stock market fund, it's worth looking at how it has performed over a one, three and five-year period. Compare this with the performance of a major stock market index. With ethical funds it pays to choose a smaller companies fund for this comparison.

A comparison of the performance of mono-Si and poly-Si photovoltaic modules operating under Kosovo climate condition
Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy
The performance analysis and evaluation of a real grid-connected photovoltaic system operating under mild continental climate condition of Kosovo is conducted in this paper. The PV system is installed on a flat roof of the laboratory building at Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering. With fixed monocrystalline silicon (m-Si) and polycrystalline silicon (p-Si) module types with an installed capacity of 1.76 kWp and 2.16 kWp respectively, inclined at an angle of 45 • C, facing south and
... , facing south and through two solar inverters, the latter feds the low voltage distribution grid with electricity. Performance and meteorological data for each type of modules were collected and analyzed for the period between December 2014 to November 2015. The m-Si PV modules have shown higher performance compared with p-Si PV modules. Electricity production during the monitoring period was 1286.57 kWh/kWp from p-Si modules and 1328.21 kWh/kWp from m-Si modules. The annually average daily final yield (Y f ), the annual average value of performance ratio (PR) and system efficiency (η sys ), for the p-Si PV modules were found to be 3.53 kWh/kWp/day, 80% and 11.67% respectively. In addition, corresponding values for the m-Si modules were 3.64 kWh/kWp/day, 84% and 12.78% respectively. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the performance of the photovoltaic system under study with other photovoltaic systems installed in various countries worldwide was carefully investigated and presented in this paper.

WHY DO WINDSCREENS NEED TO BE ALWAYS CLEAR?
The Road Traffic Act states it is an offence to a drive a vehicle with a chip or crack in the windscreen and could result in a fine and fixed three penalty points on your driving licence. It is therefore imperative that as soon as you notice any windscreen damage or anything that impairs the driver's vision, to address this immediately and your windscreen is clear. Furthermore, the Highway Code states that "windscreens and windows must be kept clean and free from obstructions to vision".
Here are some basic "rules of the road" to keep your windscreen clear on your journey
CLEAR YOUR WINDSCREEN GLASS AT START OF YOUR JOURNEY
Some vehicles are equipped with a demister button on the dashboard and will clear the windscreen whilst others have heated front windscreens. Another useful tip is to switch the air-conditioning unit on even in winter as this quickly dries the air in the car and car glass surface. You can also use a micro-fibre cloth to wipe your windscreen and applies equally to rear windscreens, side windows and wing mirrors. Another advice is to try demisting sprays which can be highly effective and may last for several days in some cases.
WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR ON THE ROAD
- Avoid driving to close to large vehicles such as HGVs, which can be dangerous and cause damage not only to the windscreen but to the vehicle body itself.
- Whilst this seems common sense, it is also illegal to drive too close to the vehicle in front of you as this increases the risk of your vehicle being hit by flying debris or small stones that can crack or chip your windscreen.
- Try to avoid driving on newly-laid surfaces as these can easily chip your windscreen and in some cases may even occur from the vehicle driving in front of you.
OTHER TIPS TO LOOK OUT FOR
- Whether it is air freshener or a key ring, it is actually illegal to hang an object from the rear-view mirror if this directly obstructs the driver's line of vision.
- Ensure you wear glasses that protect against sun glare and from other traffic, as this can be a potential distraction to drivers.
- Wipe your windscreen inside and out to reduce the amount of glare from the sun or road traffic on your journey.
- Clean your windscreen wipers regularly. Good windscreen wipers need to effectively clean the screen at all times and so worn out wipers could result in damage to the windscreen glass itself and can in turn be more costly than replacing the wipers themselves. A badly worn wiper can obstruct the driver's vision and could lead to a serious situation such as an accident and as a result may invalidate any potential insurance claim.
- If your windscreen is damaged even by small stone chips or cracks, this is not only distracting but can impair your vision whilst driving. It is essential that the damage is inspected immediately as it is highly likely that it will get worse, comprising the windscreen strength. However, this clearly is not always possible if you are on the road and you don't want to be stuck roadside waiting for windscreen replacement or repair especially during cold or freezing winter time.

 1. Human subject research studies that do not include direct participant contact may continue.
 2. Human subject research studies that include participant interactions and can be completed virtually should be conducted virtually provided the IRB has approved the virtual/remote interaction for a particular study.
 3. Human subject studies that require participant contact should adhere to the following guidelines.
 1. Studies that require face-to-face assessments or visits can continue, weighing risks and benefits for the participants. The CDC recognizes high-risk groups for severe outcomes with COVID-19. As part of the ongoing consent process, research participants at high risk for severe negative outcomes should understand the risks of breaking physical distancing.
 2. Prior to a face-to-face visit, research personnel must confirm the participant's appointment and perform telephone wellness screenings no more than 24 hours prior to the scheduled visit, if applicable.
 3. Participants visiting a UNC Health facility must be rescreened by front desk staff upon arrival. Research personnel must rescreen participants upon arrival for all visits that will occur in non-clinical spaces before the visit begins (i.e., confirm there are no symptoms, etc.). Any participant who fails rescreening should be immediately masked and isolated in a private room. Clinical study personnel should be contacted and recommendations from Infection Prevention regarding referral for testing should be followed.
 4. During face-to-face visits, research personnel should maintain a physical distance of 6 feet whenever possible, wear face-masks (see Section g. below), and wash hands before and after face-to-face interaction with a human research participant.
 5. Interactions should take place in an outdoor setting, if possible.
 6. Cleaning: Individual laboratories and research cores must: (1) Develop and use a regular schedule for frequently cleaning and wiping touched surfaces and objects (e.g., door and cabinet handles, faucets, light switches, keyboards, and other frequently touched objects) with an approved disinfectant or disinfectant wipes. (2) Follow routine surface decontamination of common equipment like instrumentation and computers. (3) Disinfect any surface that may be thought to be contaminated. (4) Use an approved disinfectant such as a 10% bleach or 70% alcohol solution. Please refer to the EPA list of acceptable disinfectants for use against SARS-COV-2 for more information.
 7. Face Masks: All research personnel conducting research at a UNC Health facility must follow UNC Health's mask policy regarding proper usage and storage of masks for employees, and masks for participants and guests.
 4. As part of the ongoing consent process, if the participant is visiting campus, he or she should also understand the potential harms of visiting the research site during the COVID-19 pandemic and agree willingly to the visit. Each participant should be given the chance to discuss the expected risks and benefits and make an informed decision regarding participation, along with support from the study team. Remote consent is encouraged if approval has been granted by the IRB.
 5. Research that involves participants of 10 or fewer individuals in a group, such as a focus group, is allowed. Seating should be arranged to allow 6 feet between group members, and all focus group participants must wear masks.
 6. If research involves travel or overnight stays, accommodation and meals should allow for adequate physical distancing (6 feet or more) wherever feasible. Vehicle occupancy should be limited to no more than two people in a standard car, with open windows while travelling, if possible. Vehicle occupants should wear masks.
 7. For additional UNC Health Guidance on COVID-19, please visit the Clinical Research Support Office (CRSO)'s response page.


Sleeping immediately
Sleeping immediately after dinner increases the risk of stroke by 66%, so it is recommended to spend at least one hour after dinner. This is a result of research by scientists from the Medical Faculty in Ionia, Greece. Scientists examined about 500 individuals, half of whom suffered a stroke and the other half acute coronary syndrome (a common form of heart disease with a decreased blood flow in the heart due to clogged arteries). Respondents were divided into two groups – those who waited 60 to 70 minutes after dinner, then went to sleep and those who went to bed immediately.
In the second group, individuals were bound to encounter a stroke, while individuals who held up somewhere in the range of 70 and 120 minutes were 76% secured. In addition, sleeping at least one hour after dinner reduces the risk of acute coronary syndrome. One of the consequences of too fast going to bed after eating is Reflux. In a loosening up position, the circumstance in which the stomach corrosive comes back to the throat is exacerbated, and the long haul outcomes are harm to the mucous film of the throat.

ComEd Owned Street Light Audit
Like a lot of communities around Chicago, The Village of Glencoe has a small collection of street lights that they own and maintain. The rest of the lights are owned and maintained by ComEd, and The Village is then billed for their usage. ComEd provides The Village of Glencoe with a list of all the lights in its database that are within Glencoe's village limits. The Public Works department asked the GIS Department to see if all the lights could be mapped out and then analyzed to make sure that The Village was being billed correctly and that ComEd had the right information for each street light that they owned.
The GIS Department began using a combination of address information, aerial imagery, and Google Streetview to find the locations of each street light provided by ComEd. First, the street light locations were mapped against the Village's address and street range databases placing them in the general vicinity. Then by using a combination of aerial imagery and Google Streetview, the locations of each light were narrowed down. Any street lights in the ComEd database that can't be mapped will be then marked in the database and the Village will have to have discussions with ComEd to figure out the discrepancy. When the street light mapping is completed, The Village of Glencoe will then be assured that they are being billed correctly for their street light usage and that their own street light database is up-to-date.

on the order that libraries are loaded, and that is unacceptable.
For example, given sample library module "a.v":
'define MACRO_A 1
module a(input x);
 always @(x) $display("x=",x);
endmodule
and sample library module "b.v":
module b(input y);
'ifdef MACRO_A
 always @(y) $display("MACRO_A is defined",,y);
'else
 always @(y) $display("MACRO_A is NOT defined",,y);
'endif
endmodule
If a program instantiates both of these modules, there is no way to know which will be loaded first by the compiler, so if the definition of MACRO_A in "a.v" were to escape, then there is no way to predict or control whether MACRO_A is defined when "b.v" is processed. So the preprocessor processes automatic library module files as if they are in their own compilation unit, and you can know that MACRO_A will not be defined in "b.v" unless it is defined on the command line (a "-D" flag) or in the command file (a "+define+" record.)
Of course if "a.v" and "b.v" were listed in the command file or on the command line, then the situation is different; the order is clear. The files are processed as if they were concatenated in the order that they are listed on the command line. The non-library modules are all together in a main compilation unit, and they are all processed before any library modules are loaded.
It is said that some commercial compilers do allow macro definitions to span library modules. That's just plain weird. However, as of 31 December 2007, there is a special case that Icarus Verilog does handle.
Preprocessor definitions that are made in files explicitly listed on the command line or in the command file, do pass into implicitly loaded library files. For example, given the source file "x.v":
module main;
 reg foo;
 b dut(foo);
endmodule
'define MACRO_A
And the library module file "b.v" described above, the situation is well defined; assuming the "x.v" file is listed on the command line or in the command file. The library module will receive the MACRO_A definition from the last explicitly loaded source file. The position of the define of MACRO_A in the explicitly loaded source files does not matter, as all explicitly loaded source files are preprocessed before any library files are loaded.
Continuous assign l-values can implicit-define wires Edit
The IEEE1364-2001 standard, Section 3.5, lists the cases where nets may be implicitly created. These include:
 - identifier is a module port, or
 - identifier is passed as a port to a primitive or module.
This does not seem to include continuous assignment l-values (or r-values) so the standard does not justify allowing implicit declarations of nets by continuous assignment.
However, it has been reported that many Verilog compilers, including the big name tools, do allow this. So, Icarus Verilog will allow it as well, as an extension. If -g2x (the default) is used, this extension is enabled. To turn off this behavior, use the -g2 flag.
Dumping array words ($dumpvars) Edit
Icarus has the ability to dump individual array words. They are only dumped when explicitly passed to $dumpvars. They are not dumped by default. For example given the following:
 module top;
 reg [7:0] array [2:0];
 initial begin
 $dumpvars(0, array[0], array[1]);
 ...
 end
 endmodule
array[0] and array[1] will be dumped whenever they change value. They will be displayed as an escaped identifier and GTKWave fully supports this. Note that this is an implicitly created escaped identifier that could conflict with an explicitly created escaped identifier. You can automate adding the array word by adding an index definition
 integer idx;
and replacing the previous $dumpvars statement with
 for (idx = 0; idx < 2; idx = idx + 1) $dumpvars(0, array[idx]);
This will produce the same results as the previous example, but it is much easier to specify/change which elements are to be dumped. One important note regarding this syntax. Most system tasks/functions keep the variable selection (for this case it is a variable array word selection) context. If $dumpvars() did this then all callback created would point to this element and would use the same index which for the example above would have the value 2. This is certainly not what is desired and for this special case when $dumpvars() executes it uses the current index value to create a constant array selection and that is monitored instead of the original variable selection.
 %g/%G Format Specifiers Edit
In the _PHONE_ standard there is a general statement that the real number format specifiers will use the full formatting capabilities of C. This is then followed by an example that describes %10.3g. The example description would be correct for the e format specifier which should always have three fractional digits, but the g format specifier does not work that way. For it the .3 specifies that there will be three significant digits. What this means is that %g will always produce one less significant digit than %e and will only match the output from %f for certain values. For Example:
module top_level;
 real rval;
 initial begin
 rval = _PHONE_;
 $display("This is g and e: %10.3g, %10.3e.", rval, rval);
 rval = 0._PHONE_;
 $display("This is g and f: %10.3g, %10.3f.", rval, rval);
 rval = 1.234567890;
 $display("This is more g and f: %10.3g, %10.3f.", rval, rval);
 end
endmodule // top_level
Will produce the following output:
This is g and e: 1.23e+09, 1.235e+09.
This is g and f: 0.123, 0.123.
This is more g and f: 1.23, 1.235.
Referencing declarations within an unnamed generate block Edit
The IEEE1364-2005 standard permits generate blocks to be unnamed, but states:
"If the generate block selected for instantiation is not named, it still creates a scope; but the declarations within it cannot be referenced using hierarchical names other than from within the hierarchy instantiated by the generate block itself."
The standard later defines a scheme for automatically naming the unnamed scopes for use with external interfaces.
Icarus Verilog implements the defined automatic naming scheme, but does not prevent the automatically generated names being used in a hierarchical reference. This behaviour is harmless - the automatically generated names are guaranteed to be unique within the enclosing scope, so there is no possibility of confusion with explicit scope names. However, to maintain code portability, it is recommended that this behavior is not exploited.
 %v format specifier can display vectors Edit
The IEEE1364-2005 standard limits the %v specifier in display strings to work only with a single bit. Icarus Verilog extends that to support displaying the strength of vectors. The output is a strength specifier for each bit of the vector, with underscore characters separating each bit, a la "St0_St1_Pu1_HiZ". Most other tools will just print the strength of the least significant bit of a vector, so this may give different output results for code that otherwise works fine.
assign/deassign and force/release of bit/part selects Edit
Icarus Verilog allows as an extension the assign/deassign and force/release of variable bit and part selects in certain cases. This allows the Verilog test bench writer to assign/deassign for example single bits of a variable (register, etc.). Other tools will report this as an error.
repeat statement is sign aware Edit
The standard does not specify what to do for this case, but it does say what a repeat event control should do. In Icarus the repeat statement is consistent with the repeat event control definition. If the argument is signed and is a negative value this will be treated the same as an argument value of 0.
Icarus Verilog specific system tasks Edit
Icarus Verilog defines some additional system tasks that may not be present in other implementations. There are probably more than one, but right now we can document one of them here:
 $finish_and_return(code);
 - This function operates the same as the $finish system task, but adds the feature of specifying an exit code for the interpreter. This can be useful in automated test environments to indicate whether the simulation finished with or without errors.

LONDON: A new study has revealed that the use of an ordinary light bulb in your room can help hackers to eavesdrop on your conversations.
The study is conducted by researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Weizmann Institute of Science. The research talks about a side-channel attack named 'Lamphone,' that allows hackers to spy on sound with the help of a remote electro-optical sensor.
This sensor helps analyze a hanging light bulb's frequency response to sound. Researchers state that Lamphone attack by hackers helps them recover human speech and singing from 25 meters away in case there's a hanging light bulb somewhere near.
Moreover, human speech can be identified by Google Cloud Speech API, and singing can be identified via Shazam and SoundHound.
The study states that fluctuations in the air pressure on the surface of the hanging bulb cause the bulb to vibrate very slightly which is further exploited by eavesdroppers to recover speech and singing.
To analyze this response of a hanging bulb to the sound, they used an electro-optical sensor and learned how to isolate the audio signal from the optical signal. They also developed an algorithm to recover sound from the optical measurements obtained from the vibrations of a light bulb that was captured by the sensor.

I was reading up on electrostatic particle accelerators when I read a statistic stating the efficiency of converting wall electrical power (the electrical power from the outlet) into beam power in an accelerator. I tried finding out why this was the case and doing some first cut calculations. The most I could come up with was a lot of the power gets wasted by particles not being efficiently collimated, I.E. most of the accelerated particles hit the wall. Now, I'm pretty sure that is not the only reason, I assume depending on the quality of the vacuum, scattering by the leftover gas molecules would also contribute to the lost beam power, as well as losses via emitted radiation from focusing the charged particles with magnetic fields.
Am I getting this right? Or am I missing some huge power draw that sucks most of the power away from the beam? I know the efficiency depends somewhat on the beam maximum energy (since higher energy beams have higher brehmstrahlung and cyclotron radiation losses), I'm looking at the power efficiency of a 10 MeV electrostatic electron beam accelerator.
Why are 10 MeV electron electrostatic particle accelerators so inefficient?

Surface Insulation Resistance
07 March 2003
Surface Insulation Resistance (SIR) testing, is a non-destructive methodology used to evaluate electronic assembly materials and processes as one measure of reliability.
The goal of SIR testing is to catch dangerous propensities for electro-chemical failure mechanisms, such as unacceptable electrical leakage under humid conditions, corrosion and metal migration, before they can occur on produced assemblies.
Three factors need to be present for electro-chemical failures to occur: electrical potential, moisture and an ionic residue. Electrochemical failure can best be visualised using the VENN Diagram. Increasing and decreasing these factors can be thought of as increasing and decreasing the diameter of the circles.
In SIR testing, temperature and humidity levels are artificially elevated to accelerate the moisture factor. A voltage is applied to provide a power source. If the test substrate has a low ionic content, then the measured SIR will remain "acceptable". If the ionic content is high, such as from improperly cured solder resist or from flux residues, then "unacceptable" leakage currents, corrosion and metal migration will occur.

Question: What Is The Difference Between Weld And Attach In Cricut?
What does Weld do on Cricut?
The Weld tool allows you to join shapes to create a single customized image by removing any overlapping cut lines.
This can be a great way to simplify a design, keep the letters of a word connected, or combine shapes to create new designs..
Why can't Cricut slices use TI?
First quirk: you can only slice two shapes at one time, so if you have more than two things selected the Slice tool in the lower right corner will be grayed out. If you find this grayed out, you may have an object grouped — use the Ungroup tool at the top of the layers panel to ungroup.
How do I put letters together on my Cricut?
After you have positioned the letters exactly how you want them, use the Weld tool to connect them. Don't forget to weld your letters together or Cricut will cut each letter out individually. Select all of the letters that you would like to connect, and click the Weld button in the bottom-right corner of Design Space.
What is the difference between group and attach in Cricut?
Like Group, Attach will keep your project together on the canvas. However, unlike group, when you send it to the mat in Design Space, it will keep its formatting and stay as one. Attach is specifically useful when adding text as writing.
Why does Cricut fill in letters?
This happens because the letter next to it was overlapped just a little too much. You can undo and try to scoot it over just a tiny bit and try again. You can also increase the size of the whole word, correct any needed spacing, and weld. Then return it to the size you need.
What does it mean to flatten in design space?
Flatten is a tool that turns multi-layered images into a single-layered image. SVG cut files with multiple layers can be flattened down into single-layered images, printed out with your printer, and cut out with your Cricut machine, using print-and-cut.
Why won't Cricut let me attach?
Using Attach in Cricut Design Space is pretty simple, but there are a few rules you have to follow. You must be working with at least two shapes/layers. You can't attach a single layer; the Attach button will be greyed out if only one layer is selected. Attaching always fastens shapes "down" to the bottom layer.
How do I get my Cricut to cut exact layout?
To change the position of your design on the cutting mat, all you need to do is select your design and manually drag it to change its position. Wherever you drag the design on the mat, the position will be locked in and your Cricut will cut it out in that exact position on your mat.
What does Weld attach and flatten mean on Cricut?
print then cutIf you attach you're telling your machine to cut everything in one mat; that's why it changes colors. Something similar happens with weld; you are making all those layers into one. Unless, you are trying to print then cut (flatten), then your designing process is done, and you need to cut.
Why won't Cricut let me weld?
Using Weld in Cricut Design Space is pretty simple, but there are a few rules you have to follow. You must be working with at least two shapes/layers. You can't weld a single layer; the Weld button will be greyed out if only one layer is selected. Welding always merges shapes "down" to the bottom layer.
How do I make lines thicker in Cricut Design space?
Note: There's no way for you to add a thick line, but I will show you a trick that may work for you as well.Let's learn together.Step 1 – Add a scoring line.Select Draw or Cut to get solid lines.Create a thick line with a square.Different Linetype for thick lines in Cricut Design Space.Right-click and select save!Oct 5, 2020
Can you undo weld on Cricut?
If you weld shapes or text together, you need to be absolutely sure that everything is in the correct position, because at this stage there is no way to unweld something in Cricut Design Space. … If you weld something, and then click 'undo' immediately, it will unweld.
What is SnapMat on Cricut?
What is SnapMat? SnapMat helps you visualize image and text placement by capturing a photo of your material on the cutting mat. You can see the layout as a virtual mat preview. Images and text can be repositioned over the photo for ideal placement.
What does it mean to attach on Cricut?
Attach holds your cuts in position relative to one another so that images on the cutting mat are positioned exactly as arranged on the Canvas. Add images and text to the project and arrange as desired. Select the images you would like to cut in a specific arrangement. You will want to attach by layer or color.
What does slice mean in Cricut?
What does contour mean in Cricut Design space?
The Contour tool allows you to hide a portion of an image layer by removing any unwanted cut lines. Follow the detailed steps below to use the Contour function. Step 1 – You will need to ungroup an image first if it has multiple layers.

Science Fair Project Encyclopedia
A student of Paul Hindemith, Etler is noted for his highly rhythmic, harmonically and texturally complex compositional style, taking inspiration from the works of Bartok and Copland as well as the dissonant and accented styles of jazz.
Though he played with the Indianapolis Symphony in 1938, he abandoned his orchestral life shortly thereafter to focus on his increasingly successful compositional career (one which, during this period, earned him two Guggenheim Fellowships). In 1942 he joined the faculty at Yale University as conductor of the university band and instructor of wind instruments, where he began his studies with Hindemith. He also taught at Cornell University and University of Illinois before accepting the post he held until his death at Smith College.
Notable works include his two woodwind quintets (from 1955 and 1957), the 1963 "Quintet for Brass Instruments", and "Fragments" for woodwind quartet.
Etler is also the author of Making Music: An Introduction to Theory, an introductory-level theory text published posthumously in 1974.
