Measurement of temperature/time in welding processes
For documentation of welding parameters, power source calibration or defect analysis in arc welding, stud welding or resistance welding processes, the company HKS-Prozesstechnik has developed a system that enables the detection of numerous measured parameters such as current, voltage, gas flow and cooling time. High performance pyrometers from Micro-Epsilon are used to measure the cooling time. A double laser sighting system is used for alignment with the desired measuring point in order to view the exact spot position and to simplify adjustments. The recording of the cooling time t8/5 is performed between two adjustable limit values (usually 800°C / 500°C). As soon as the minimum value is not reached, the recording process stops and saves the cooling time and the temperature profile for further evaluation.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in lowering intra-ocular pressure (IOP) levels and reducing the number of medications in patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).
Methods: A systematic review was conducted by searching various databases including MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE (Ovid), CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of ScienceCore Collections, BIOSIS Previews, and Scopus. Duplicates were removed and articles were screened using EPPI Reviewer 4.0. A meta-analysis was conducted using STATA 13.0. Weighted mean difference (WMD) was computed and the heterogeneity statistic was assessed using the I2. Fixed and random effects models were computed based on heterogeneity.
Results: We identified 31 articles that met our inclusion criteria. We found that Sequential SLT versus pharmacotherapy had an IOP-lowering effect favoring pharmacotherapy: WMD= 5.92% (95% CI [3.06, 8.79]) and WMD= 2.73% (95% CI [0.24, 5.23]) at 6 and 12 months, respectively. Adjunctive SLT had a greater IOP-lowering effect compared to pharmacotherapy, WMD= -8.98% (95% CI [-17.19, -0.77]). A significant reduction in the post-operative medications was observed up to 17 months. No serious complications were reported.
Conclusion: Adjunctive SLT may lead to significant reduction in IOP compared to topical medications. Additional studies need to be conducted on SLT alone, without previous treatment in order to determine its IOP-lowering effect.

CAROLINA REPORTER & NEWS
A crowd of adults and children packed into Barnes and Noble Booksellers Saturday to meet Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt, the author of a new children's book.
Earhardt was signing copies of her most recent book titled "Through Your Eyes." Earhardt explained that the inspiration for the book came from her daughter.
"It's called Through Your Eyes because it's what I learned through her eyes, just the simple things," Earhardt said. "Appreciating the rain and appreciating a dog or appreciating a flower." This is her second children's book.
Earnhardt, a South Carolina native, said she was inspired to write the book on a day where the rain wouldn't stop.
Overwhelmed with pushing around her baby's stroller and going back to get her umbrella from her apartment, she noticed something about her daughter that changed her perspective of life.
"She saw rain for the very first time and she was just in awe," Earhardt said. "She was looking at the rain with her eyes wide open and her mouth wide open and I thought 'this is the first time my child has ever seen rain, a human being seeing rain.'"
After seeing that miraculous moment of her daughter looking at rain, Earhardt stated that she learned an important lesson through her daughter's eyes.
"I've learned to appreciate it because I saw her see rain for the first time and it made me realize that I need to walk through life looking at life in a different way," Earhardt said. "Just appreciating the small things."
Surrounded by fans of all ages in Barnes and Noble, Earhardt's perspective of seeing children and adults reading her book is a different feeling for her.
"It's so surreal when I see parents and children read my book," Earhardt said. "I'm just a girl from South Carolina and here I am writing books and the books are in different languages and being distributed all over the world."
Earnhardt, a South Carolina native, studied journalism at the University of South Carolina, graduating in the class of 1999.
After learning her craft through USC's senior semester program, Carolina News, she joined WLTX-News 19 as a morning anchor.
She moved to San Antonio, Texas to work at KENS-TV, another CBS affiliate, and eventually obtained a job for FOX News as a conservative political commentator in 2007.
It took nine years for Earhardt to earn what she calls her dream job of co-hosting "Fox & Friends" in the morning.
She tells any intern not to be discouraged if their dream job is not available when they want it to be.
"It took me 20 years in the profession to get there, half of a lifetime," Earhardt said. "So, I always tell interns don't expect to get the main anchor position tomorrow, you have to work for it."
Earhardt remains grateful for the journey she went through to earn her dream job.
"It's well worth the wait," Earhardt said. "Because now I will be in this profession, hopefully, or in this position for a very long time. And I appreciate it because of all the hurdles I had to go through."
It's the hurdles that she said makes her job at Fox & Friends more special.
"It's amazing. I love my profession and I love my job," Earhardt said. "I love being at the national level and waking people up every morning. It's pretty phenomenal. I'm very blessed."
With the book, she hopes to teach kids and adults to embrace the good and bad times through her story.
"[I hope] they appreciate even the hard times because they always take us to the good times," Earhardt said. "And so, you can look back when you're on top of the mountain and look down at the valley and realize all that you went through, helped you get where you are."
Another lesson Earhardt wants kids to get from her book revolves around taking control of their lives.
"I hope that it teaches children just to realize this is their life," Earhardt said. "They only have one life, this is not a dress rehearsal."
Earhardt also wants to encourage kids to understand the importance of having their parents on their side.
"They have to be happy and that we as parents want them to be happy and no matter what they do, they're going to be loved," Earhardt said. "And I just pray that they find their way in life."
One parent came to the book signing to share an important picture in his life.
Bob Self shared a photo he took with his daughter 36 years ago, which he says is similar to Earhardt's book cover in image and spirit.
"On her cover, it's almost an identical picture of these two pictures," Self said. "So, that was the coincidence. I'm getting this for my daughter for her Christmas present."
Earhardt has one final lesson she wants kids to take from her book.
"The lesson is, no matter what you want to do, you can do it," Earhardt said. "It's the true American story."
Earhardt donated a portion of the proceeds from her book sales to the military charity, Folds of Honor, resulting in $50,000 going to the charity.

text: Microinjection molding has been drawing more and more attention due to its great advantages such as cost effectiveness and mass production capability. In this work, an experimental study was carried out in order to investigate the effect of the mold surface roughness on the achieved filled length of the molded microfeatures. For this purpose, an aluminum mold insert with microchannels having different surface roughness values was designed and fabricated using ultraprecision diamond machining and micromilling method. The experimental results revealed that increasing surface roughness of the microchannel wall led to a decrease in the filled length of the molded microfeatures. It was also found that with increased melt temperature or injection velocity, the effect of surface roughness was weakened by high-pressure trapped air inside the microchannels during injection process. Finally, the influence mechanism of the mold surface roughness was discussed.

Radiation protection instrumentation - Installed ambient dose equivalent rate meters, warning and monitoring assemblies for neutrons with energies from thermal to 20 MeV
Assemblies of this type are commonly defined as area radiation monitors. They are normally employed to determine continuously the radiological situation in working areas in which the radiation field may change with time, for example, nuclear power plants, particle accelerators, high-activity laboratories, fuel reprocessing plants, etc., and provide alarms when the radiation field goes outside predetermined limits.
The assemblies considered in this document comprise at least:
- a detector assembly, which may, for example, consist of a detector probe (for thermal neutrons such as BF3 proportional counter, 3He proportional counter, 6LiI(Tl) scintillation detector, etc.) and a moderating and absorbing medium surrounding the detector;
- a processing assembly, which may be fitted into a centralized panel, which, in the case of warning assemblies and monitors, provides signal outputs and contacts capable of activating alarm or other trip circuits;
- alternatively, the case when all the processing electronics are placed within the detection unit (so called smart blocks) may be considered. In this case the functions of the processing assembly will be composed of only the indication, the providing signal outputs and contacts.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1994This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- this document has been updated to take account of the requirements of the relevant IEC standards, IEC 60532:2010 and IEC 61005:2014.

Eugene Stanley, Boston University Do the movements of animals, including humans, follow patterns that can be described quantitatively by simple laws of motion? If so, then why? These questions have attracted the attention of scientists in many disciplines, and stimulated debates ranging from ecological matters to queries such as 'how can there be free will if one follows a law of motion?' This is the first book on this rapidly evolving subject, introducing random searches and foraging in a way that can be understood by readers without a previous background on the subject. It reviews theory as well as experiment, addresses open problems and perspectives, and discusses applications ranging from the colonization of Madagascar by Austronesians to the diffusion of genetically modified crops.

The Indiana Department of Transportation announces that chip seal preservation is scheduled to begin on or after Monday, July 29, weather permitting. Work is scheduled to begin on U.S. 231 between U.S. 36 to just north of the CSX Railroad in Greencastle. This roadway will be closed to through traffic, but open to residents and businesses. Motorists should expect long delays. Work is scheduled to last through Thursday, August 1.
Motorists will be directed around the closures utilizing U.S. 36 to S.R. 75 to U.S. 40 and back.
Drivers can expect lane restrictions and traffic directed by flaggers while INDOT maintenance crews maintain access for vehicles. Motorists are urged to seek an alternate route. If driving through the chip seal work zone, drivers should take extra caution, drive slowly and allow additional space between vehicles to prevent stone chips from damaging windshields or paint.
Once the chip seal has cured, crews will sweep the highway clear of loose stone, apply a fog seal surface coat and paint pavement markings.
National research has shown that every $1 used to preserve INDOT roadways saves $6 to $14 in future costs. After years of heavy traffic and winter freeze-thaw cycles, small cracks typically develop in our highways. If left untreated, moisture seeps into these cracks and form potholes when water freezes and expands. As the name implies, a chip-seal treatment seals off the cracks. The stone chips provide improved traction for stopping, especially during winter.


À la carte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see À la carte (disambiguation).
À la carte /ɑːləˈkɑrt/[1] is a French language loan phrase meaning "according to the menu", and used
 - in reference to a menu of items priced and ordered separately, i.e. the usual operation of restaurants. This is in contrast to a table d'hôte, at which a menu with limited or no choice is served at a fixed price.
 - to order an item from the menu on its own, e.g. a steak without the potatoes and vegetables is steak à la carte
 - to describe a retail pricing model in which goods or services traditionally bundled together are separated out, putatively giving the consumer greater choice at lower cost. Examples include airline pricing where in-flight drinks or snacks are not complimentary, on-line music purchasing where individual tracks can be bought instead of entire albums, or pay television where individual channels can be ordered rather than a bundle of channels.
The phrase was adopted into English in 1826, predating by a decade the common use of the French language loanword "menu".[2][3]

SAMtools count
View full source code on GitHub
This applet performs a basic samtools view -c {bam} command, referred to as "SAMtools count", on the DNAnexus platform.
Download BAM Files
For bash scripts, inputs to a job execution become environment variables. The inputs from our dxapp.json file are formatted as shown below:
{
 "inputSpec": [
 {
 "name": "mappings_bam",
 "label": "Mapping",
 "class": "file",
 "patterns": ["*.bam"],
 "help": "BAM format file."
 }
 ]
}
The object mappings_bam, a DNAnexus link containing the file ID of that file, will be available as an environmental variable in the applet's execution. Use the command dx download to download the BAM file. By default, when we download a file, we will keep the filename of the object on the platform.
dx download "${mappings_bam}"
SAMtools Count
Here, we use the bash helper variable mappings_bam_name. For file inputs, the DNAnexus platform creates a bash variable [VARIABLE]_name that holds a string representing the filename of the object on the platform; because we downloaded the file using default parameters, this will be the filename of the object on this worker as well. We use another helper variable, [VARIABLE]_prefix, the filename of the object minus any suffixes specified in the input field patterns. From the input spec above, the only pattern present is '["*.bam"]', so the platform will remove the trailing ".bam" and create the helper variable [VARIABLE]_prefix for our use.
readcount=$(samtools view -c "${mappings_bam_name}")
echo "Total reads: ${readcount}" > "${mappings_bam_prefix}.txt"
Upload Result
Use dx upload command to upload data to the platform. This will upload the file into the job container, a temporary project that holds onto files associated with the job. When running the command dx upload with the flag --brief, the command will return just the file ID.
counts_txt_id=$(dx upload "${mappings_bam_prefix}.txt" --brief)
Note: Job containers are an integral part of the execution process, to learn more see Containers for Execution.
Associate With Output
The output of an applet must be declared before the applet is even built. Looking back to the dxapp.json file, we see the following:
{
 "name": "counts_txt",
 "class": "file",
 "label": "Read count file",
 "patterns": [
 "*.txt"
 ],
 "help": "Output file with Total reads as the first line."
}
We declared a file type output named counts_txt. In the applet script, we must tell the system what file should be associated with the output counts_txt. On job completion, usually at the end of the script, this file will be copied from the temporary job container to the project that launched the job.
dx-jobutil-add-output counts_txt "${counts_txt_id}" --class=file

Hello readers! Welcome. In this article on 'above vs over', we are going to learn the correct usage of both the words with some example sentences. You will have an exercise at the end of the article. Once you are done with reading the article try to finish the exercise so that you can easily consolidate what you have learned.
Above vs Over
Both 'Above' and 'Over' are prepositions used to express the vertical relationship between two things. But the basic difference is that the word Above tends to suggest the meaning 'on a higher level than' whereas the word Over is used to suggest closeness between two things.
- ABOVE – a higher level than
- OVER – closeness
Let's see the following example sentences with the above words.
- The mother dog stood over her pups to save them from rain
- His house was on a hill above a beautiful beach
Both the words 'Above' and 'Over' in the above examples show a vertical relationship. In the first sentence, 'over' suggests closeness between the mother dog and her pups, and in the second example, the word 'above' suggests a higher altitude of the hill compared to the beach.
Some more examples:
- There was a picture above the door
- There was a picture over the door
Both above and over can be used in the above example. The first one suggests that there was a picture on the wall above the door and the second one suggests that the picture was on the door itself. Thus we can use the words above and over to show a higher level and closeness respectively.
Exercise: Fill in the blanks in the following sentences with either above or over.
- My house is _______ the tree
- The maid spreads a blanket _______ the mattress
- The clouds are moving fast ________ the city
- He slept _______ the bench
- He applied red paint _______ the white paint

Using Moira in your own app#
This tutorial shows how to integrate Moira into your own application. It explains the basic steps by showing how Moira is used in vAmiga, the Amiga emulator Moira was originally developed for.
Configuring Moira#
We start by examining the compile-time options chosen by vAmiga. The following options are set in MoiraConfig.h:
 - #define PRECISE_TIMING true
Moira is run in precise timing mode, which means that a sync call is initiated before each memory access. This gives vAmiga the ability to emulate the surrounding logic up to the point in time when the memory access actually happens. This is an essential feature in Amiga emulation, as many applications rely on accurate bus timing. In fact, the lack of this feature in Musashi was the reason I implemented Moira in the first place. Note that this feature is only available for the M68000 and M68010. M68020 emulation is always done in simple cycle mode, regardless of how this preprocessor variable is set.
 - #define VIRTUAL_API false
All functions of the Moira class that are required to be implemented by the client (vAmiga) are declared as non-virtual. This means these functions will be statically linked, resulting in a small performance boost compared to virtual functions.
 - #define EMULATE_ADDRESS_ERROR true
The M68000 and the M68010 signal an address error when a word or longword access to an odd address is attempted. Since some Amiga titles rely on this behavior, address error emulation is enabled in vAmiga.
 - #define EMULATE_FC true
All M680x0 CPUs are equipped with three so-called function code pins (FC pins). Whenever memory is accessed, the value on these pins allows external hardware to check the access type. Although the Amiga does not make use of those pins, emulation is enabled in Moira to accurately emulate the M68010 CPU. Unlike the M68000, the M68010 includes the current value of the FC pins in some stack frames.
 - #define ENABLE_DASM true
This option instructs Moira to create a lookup table with all disassembler handlers. The creation of this table is mandatory for using the disassembler. If the disassembler is not needed, it is advisable to set this option to false, since the lookup table consumes a decent amount of memory.
 - #define BUILD_INSTR_INFO_TABLE false
During initialization, Moira is able to create an optional info table that stores information about the instruction, addressing mode, and size attribute for each of the 65536 opcode words. In vAmiga, the creation of this table is omitted because the information is not needed.
 - #define MIMIC_MUSASHI false
This option instructs Moira not to run in Musashi compatibility mode, resulting in higher accuracy.
Subclassing Moira#
Having learned how Moira's compile-time options are configured, we take a deeper look on how Moira is integrated in vAmiga. The most prominent class in vAmiga is the Amiga class. It has the following structure:
class Amiga : public Thread {
 ...
 // Core components
 CPU cpu = CPU(*this);
 CIAA ciaA = CIAA(*this);
 CIAB ciaB = CIAB(*this);
 Memory mem = Memory(*this);
 Agnus agnus = Agnus(*this);
 Denise denise = Denise(*this);
 Paula paula = Paula(*this);
 ...
};
vAmiga's CPU class is a subclass of the Moira class. It's main purpose is to add additional functionality to what Moira already offers. E.g., the CPU class provides capabilities for serializing and deserializing the CPU state which is important for saving and loading emulator states (snapshots). In addition, the CPU class enhances the Moira class with overclocking support. If you are interested in how overclocking is implemented in vAmiga, please refer to the How-to section.
In CPU.cpp we find the implementations of all Moira functions that interact with the environment. Since we have declared the API as non-virtual, none of these functions have a default implementation. Therefore, all functions must be implemented even if there is nothing to do. Thus, many functions are defined with an empty function body. E.g.:
void
Moira::didReset()
{
}
This function is one of the delegation methods Moira provides. It is called at the end of the reset handler to allow the client to perform special actions.
Other functions do have a non-empty implementation such as functions for accessing memory. E.g., this is how read8 and read16 are implemented in vAmiga:
u8
Moira::read8(u32 addr) const
{
 return mem.peek8<ACCESSOR_CPU>(addr);
}
u16
Moira::read16(u32 addr) const
{
 return mem.peek16<ACCESSOR_CPU>(addr);
}
At first glance, the code seems to speak for itself. Moira's memory request is passed to the mem object, which is an instance of vAmiga's Memory class. Lookin closer, however, it's no longer that clear. How does Moira know about the various Amiga components such as the memory? These objects are not part of the Moira class. Well, the answer is they are, because in vAmiga we use a slightly modified Moira class. In fact, the class is declared as follows:
class Moira : public SubComponent {
 ...
}
As you can see, Moira inherits from the SubComponent class which is the base class of most Amiga components. One important purpose of the SubComponent class is to provide convinient access to all other components of the virtual Amiga. This is done by declaring a number of references that are initialized in the constructor:
class SubComponent : public AmigaComponent {
protected:
 Agnus &agnus;
 Amiga &amiga;
 Blitter &blitter;
 ...
 Memory &mem;
 ...
};
Here we go. The mem object is inherited from the SubComponent class and allows any Moira function to access Amiga memory.
Side note: If you spot a violation of the loose coupling principle here, please remember that we are talking about an emulator which a very special kind of software in various ways. The Amiga is a very tightly coupled system, and we wouldn't do ourselves any good if we tried to emulate it with a loosely coupled software system.
$$$
Creating a run loop#
Last but not least, let's take a closer look at where vAmiga executes the CPU, i.e. where it calls Moira's execution function. As you may have noticed, the Amiga class inherits from the Thread class, which provides capabilities for concurrent code execution. Whenever an instance of the Amiga class is created, an emulator thread is spawned automatically.
Amiga::Amiga()
{
 ...
 // Start the thread and enter the main function
 thread = std::thread(&Thread::main, this);
 ...
}
Inside the function main one of the following functions is executed, depending on the operating mode of the thread:
 - execute<SyncMode::Periodic>();
 - execute<SyncMode::Pulsed>();
Both functions call the execute function which is implemented inside the Amiga class. This function is one of the most prominent, since it implements the emulator's run loop. It is structures as follows:
void
Amiga::execute()
{
 while (1) {

 // Emulate the next CPU instruction
 cpu.execute();
 // Check if special action needs to be taken
 if (flags) {
 ...
 if (flags & RL::BREAKPOINT_REACHED) {
 ...
 auto addr = isize(cpu.debugger.breakpoints.hit->addr);
 msgQueue.put(MSG_BREAKPOINT_REACHED, addr);
 newState = EXEC_PAUSED;
 break;
 }
 ...
 }
 }
}
We are finally there. Right at the beginning of the body of the while loop is the place where Moira's execution function is called. Variable flags is used to trigger special actions inside the run loop. E.g., when Moira reaches a breakpoint, a dedicated bit in variable flags is set. The bits are checked inside the run loop and trigger special actions if it is set. In case of the breakpoint flag, vAmiga first performs some actions which are not important here. After that, it notifies the GUI by sending a MSG_BREAKPOINT_REACHED message. Finally, it puts the thread into paused state and exits the run loop.

NASHIK: The three-day science festival that concluded on May 1, saw a huge response by Nashikites from all quarters and a host of scientific creations by students.
The science festival organized by Vidnyan Prabodhini was an exhibition of scientific projects by the students of this Sunday science school. For three days beginning from April 29, students exhibited their science models and projects at Limaye Hall at Sarvajanik Vachnalaya. Amongst the different projects, the plastic bottle boat became very popular and it was tested in swimming pools and in the Godavari river.
The students took three months to make this boat. The bottles were held together with aluminium and copper frames. "Four hundred and eighty empty one-litre mineral water bottles were used for making the boat. It can carry around 200kg weight," said volunteer Sarang Shah. Most of the projects were based on mechanisms, on weather, civil engineering and chemistry. A voltaic cell that can generate electricity from lemon by copper and zinc plates was displayed.
Ice-cream sticks and toothpicks were used to make bridges. The toothpick bridge can bear 30kg weight while the ice-cream bridge can bear around 80-90 kg weight. Scientific puzzles and games were also on display.
Fifty displays on scientists from Charaka to Steven Hawking were exhibited, along with some information about them. Sixty students also displayed their science models and projects.
This is the second such exhibition by the Sunday science school.
Speaking more about the concept of this school, organizer and the brain behind the concept Rupesh Nerkar said, "The Sunday science school began last year with an aim to provide some practical knowledge to the students, explore their scientific imagination and encourage them in their efforts. The concept is that students spend two hours every Sunday throughout the year and get hands-on experience. The projects that are made by them throughout the year are displayed in an exhibition at the end of the year."

Commercials without a Break by Hope Epton
Exercise has long been linked to reducing the risk of chronic conditions. So if it's so good for us, why do people simply not have the time to workout? It's more likely that it is not a priority, because 30 minutes a day doesn't seem too much to dedicate to your overall health.

So where do you find the time? Simple. If you watch one hour of television, you have on average 20 minutes to workout during commercial breaks. While it's recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) that you perform at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week, this is certainly a good start.

The average television commercial is 30 seconds long, sometimes it can be a minute, and rarely longer. Having this in mind, you can perform a different exercise for each commercial, or a series of exercises throughout one commercial break.

Here is an example of a Commercial Break-Out. On average, there are about 4-5 commercial breaks in an hour of programming, so each round can be done per break, and repeated if there is time.

This sample workout requires no additional equipment: (Please consult your physician before beginning this or any exercise program.)

Round 1:
Plank for 30 seconds, 10 Pushups, 10 Mountain Climbers, and 10 Burpees

Round 2:
Plank for 30 seconds, Crunch time: 10 Regular, 10 Bicycle, and 10 Reverse Crunches

Round 3:
Plank for 30 seconds, 10 Front Lunges, 10 Squats, and 10 Reverse Lunges

Round 4:
Plank for 30 seconds, 10 Flutterkicks, 10 Vertical Leg Crunches, and 10 Heel Touches

Round 5:
Plank for 30 seconds, 10 Dips, 10 Back Extensions, and 10 Table Tops

Want more of a cardio challenge? Add 10 jumping jacks or jog in place for 30 seconds between each round.

If you have a stability ball, watch your favorite program sitting on the ball instead of the couch. You will burn extra calories and strengthen your core. If you have dumbbells or resistance bands you can incorporate an array of additional exercises into your regime.
Make your health a priority while enjoying your favorite television programs.

aha is a noun meaning "rage" in Quenya.
PQ *akhâ from Root *AKH.
In the First Age, aha was pronounced acha.
Aha is also the name of the eleventh letter of the Tengwar alphabet. In Westron it was called Shé and it had the value of sh in Mannish modes.
The original name of Aha was Charma and in Quenya it had the value "ch". Over time the "ch" in Quenya softened to "h" at the beginning of words and the letter, now called Acha, was only used in the middle of words where ch still retained. Still later the "ch" sound disappeared altogether and the letter name as well became Aha.
In Sindarin, Aha still refers to the "ch" sound. In Westron the letter is called Shé and has the value of "sh".


Mortality in Mental Disorders and Global Disease Burden Implications A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
12 de fevereiro de 20151min
Elizabeth Reisinger Walker, PhD, MPH, MAT; Robin E. McGee, MPH; Benjamin G. Druss, MD, MPH
For all-cause mortality, the pooled relative risk of mortality among those with mental disorders (from 148 studies) was 2.22 (95% CI, 2.12-2.33). Of these, 135 studies revealed that mortality was significantly higher among people with mental disorders than among the comparison population. A total of 67.3% of deaths among people with mental disorders were due to natural causes, 17.5% to unnatural causes, and the remainder to other or unknown causes. The median years of potential life lost was 10 years (n = 24 studies). We estimate that 14.3% of deaths worldwide, or approximately 8 million deaths each year, are attributable to mental disorders.

The primary survey for understanding the trends of the biological sciences postdoc population is the Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (GSS) administered by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics. Here, we analyzed the yearly changes in the biological sciences postdoc population at institutions surveyed by the GSS. We find that institutional variability in reporting their biological sciences postdoc populations, which sometimes varies by more than 2-fold over consecutive years, masks larger trends in the employment of biological sciences postdocs. Universities indicated the most common cause for the changes was improving institutional policy and tracking of postdocs. We propose the adoption of a unified definition of a postdoc, consolidation of postdoc titles and the creation of an index to better assess biological sciences postdoc trends.}, URL = {_URL_ eprint = {_URL_ journal = {bioRxiv} }

How many books are enough books for a preschooler?
Preschooler looking at a tall stack of books.1,000 books is a great goal, according to the 1,000 Books Foundation, a nonprofit organization which has enlisted the help of libraries across the US to promote reading. Their effort, "1,000 Books before Kindergarten," has a simple goal: Children should be read 1,000 books before they start kindergarten.
1,000 books before kindergarten? Yes. They can be all different books or some of the same books read over and over to a child. The reading can begin in utero, or when the child is an infant or toddler, but the counting must stop by the day the child starts kindergarten. Parents are encouraged to write down the name of every book and the date it was read (Log sheets are available at 1000 books). Writing down the names promotes accountability, and the growing list encourages persistence.
1,000 books might sound daunting, but if a parent reads one book a day for three years, that is more than 1,000 books. Many parents read more than one book a day, making the feat even easier. And if a parent reads a book to two or three children at a time, that counts as a book for each of them.
Some libraries provide their patrons with a journal in which they can list the titles. Some libraries offer stickers to children for meeting benchmark goals. Some local newspapers publish the picture of all children who reach 1,000 books.
Have you participated? Were you able to reach 1,000 books? Let our readers know. –Mrs. K
Of course there are some parents who may be turned off by the idea of listing the title of every book read every day. I know that would become tedious for me. It reminds me of diets where you list every food eaten every day. After a few weeks, most of us cannot maintain the daily log. But how about just a check mark or a number on the calendar…adding up the total at the end of the month and then adding on as the year continues. –Mrs. A

) / 2) * 4 (SP bytes on array prev) <= 512 KB (L2 cache)
Assuming the array size n1 in unit stride dimension in the order of n1=1K:
s^2 <= 512K/(1K * 8 * 4) , which gives: s <= 4
That is, an initial estimate for our tiling is n1_Tblock=n1, n2_Tblock=4, and n3_Tblock=4*16/2=32. This also implies no blocking in the unit-stride direction, and thus preserving long contiguous memory read streams on this particular choice. At first it might seem like a too 'narrow' blocking size n2_Tblock=4 in the space second dimension. But recall that computations will also load halo cells prev(i1,i2±r,i3), r<= R=4, so the effective blocking size in the second dimension is n2_Tblock+2*R.
Note that on this initial version: 1) We don't implement any time blocking/time skewing scheme. There is no code dedicated to exploit either interior cell property or the fact that the entire problem might be solved on a single SMP system. 2) Also there is no loop-level blocking: the tiling happens only at 'thread-blocking' level when work is assigned to threads via the blocking[*] list of indexes. One may consider implementing multi-level blocking to attempt finer control of data-to-core assignment: a thread-blocking using slightly larger blocks and then loop tiling when applying the actual stencil computation within each thread. 3) We don't take into consideration host-to-coprocessor and coprocessor-to-host transfer times. Only stencil compute time on the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor.
Additionally, for this first post we refrain from extensive code changes to experiment with vectorization of the finite differences. A C/C++ version of the routine without specific optimizations may basically look like:
// apply 8th order ISO stencil on block [i1b..i1b+n1_Tb]X[i2b..i2b+n2_Tb]X[i3b..i3b+n3_Tb]
void apply_stencil(float *ptr_next, float *ptr_prev, float *ptr_vel, float *coeff, // arrays

 const int n1_end = n1-4, n2_end = n2-4, n3_end = n3-4;
 const float c0 = coeff[0], c1=coeff[1], c2=coeff[2], c3=coeff[3], c4=coeff[4];
 const int n1n2 = n1*n2;
 const int n1_2 = 2*n1, n1n2_2 = 2*n1n2;
 const int n1_3 = 3*n1, n1n2_3 = 3*n1n2;

EXPORT, VALIE. Facing a Family, 1971. VALIE EXPORT Catalogue of the moving exhibition. Ed. Éditions de L'Oeil. Montreuil: 2003. (p73)
Although exceeding these terms, the work of VALIE EXPORT, can be analyzed for its relation with the house/home. Particularly, the TV-Action work from 1971, "Facing a Family", a piece of broadcasting video art in which a family is recorded watching television, and the viewer becomes the object of the family's gaze, while the family is the object of the viewer. This program was transmitted live through Austrian television, and the viewers could be other middle-class families watching television. By creating an eternal loop, VALIE EXPORT talks about the objectification of the family as a bourgeois ideal; the domesticity as a spectacle (as much as in the Dutch windows) and the incidence of the media into the family. In addition, she is 30 years ahead to problematics posed by Reality television.
From the point of view of the terms used in this bibliography, VALIE EXPORT is talking about the home. The home as an idea, with the objectification of the family and a place that needs sources of energy from outside. In this case, the external source of energy is communication. The question that follows this statement was formulated by Michel de Certeau: what do they make of what they "absorb," receive, and pay for? What do they do with it?

Let us make an in-depth study of depository system. After reading this article you will learn about: 1. Features of Depository System 2. Advantages of Depository System.
Features of Depository System:
A depository system has the following features:
(a) Day-to-day basis of reconciliation is made by NSDL;
(b) Securities are divisible and, as such, can be transacted by any quantity;
(c) Securities are allotted International Security Identification Number (ISIN) by SEBI;
(d) The benefit of depository system is enjoyed by the investor/owner of securities; and
(e) CDSL and NSDL are the Depository Participants to act as agent.
Advantages of Depository System:
Enjoyed by Investors:
i. It eliminates bad deliveries;
ii. It computes the settlement cycle very fast;
iii. It makes immediate transfer and registration of securities;
iv. It eliminates all risks associated with physical certificate;
v. It also provides nomination facility to the investors;
vi. It reduces trading cost;
vii. Since it is paperless trading, no share certificate and deed etc. are required.
Enjoyed by the Capital Market:
(i) Dues are settled in a very short time;
(ii) It also eliminates bad delivering;
(iii) It also eliminates the problems arising from odd lots of securities;
(iv) It eliminates the physical handling of paperwork's;
(v) It reduces errors;
(vi) Questions of loss, mutilation of securities does not arise.
(vii) Huge number of transactions can be settled at a very short time.
Enjoyed by the Company:
(a) It reduces the risk of loss of securities and, at the same time, reduces the fraudulent activities;
(b) It avoids the checking of shares, deeds and various papers,
(e) No share certificate is issued as the securities are divisible;
(d) It reduces the various costs which require secretarial help;
(e) It supplies better communication facilities
(f) Easy availability of data and information (i.e. issue of bonus share, right share, dividend declaration, etc.) are available which helps the shareholder to take decisions.
Disadvantages of Depository System:
The Depository System is not free from snags. Some of them are:
(a) Number of frauds may be increased as there is no physical checking;
(b) Practically, to set up a single depository is not possible;
(c) MDS (Multiple Depository System) invites the problems of coordination.
Although the Depository System is not free from snags, even then it is a boom to the world of capital market. It, no doubt, proves an efficient transfer system and helps the investors and the company in various forms. It overcomes the problems from bad delivery, counterfeit certificates, etc. It also reduces various cost and expenses (i.e. Registration cost).


S Managed Microsoft AD domain and configure it as a Subordinate CA.
 2. Set up an S3 bucket to store the certificate revocation lists (CRLs) and certificates of both CAs.
 3. Deploy a Microsoft Windows Server Standalone Root CA (in this case, RootCA) so that it can issue a certificate to SubordinateCA that grants SubordinateCA permissions to issue certificates. This step includes installing the Microsoft Standalone Root CA and uploading the certificate revocation lists (CRLs) and certificates to the S3 bucket created in Step 2.
 4. Deploy a Microsoft Windows Server Enterprise Subordinate CA to your AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory (in this case, SubordinateCA) so that it can issue certificates to your directory's domain controllers to enable LDAPS. This step includes joining SubordinateCA to your directory domain, installing the Microsoft enterprise CA, and obtaining a certificate from RootCA that grants SubordinateCA permissions to issue certificates, and uploading the certificate revocation lists (CRLs) and certificates to the S3 bucket created in Step 2.
 Note: You can complete the activities described in Steps 3 and 4 through automated or manual deployments.
 5. 5. Create a certificate template to be issued to domain controllers (in this case, LDAPOverSSL) with auto-enrollment configured so that your AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory domain controllers can obtain certificates through auto-enrollment to enable LDAPS.
 Note: Step 5 is not needed with the automated deployment. The Quick Start already provisions a certificate template for you.
 6. If you choose the cross-forest PKI enrollment option to deploy the CA architecture, use your existing on-premises Microsoft PKI infrastructure to enable LDAPs on AWS Managed Microsoft AD.
 Note: Step 6 is for setting up cross-forest PKI enrollment. It is not used by the automated or manual deployments and can be skipped.
 7. Configure AWS security group rules so that AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory domain controllers can connect to the Enterprise Subordinate CA to request certificates.
 8. Test LDAPS access by using the LDP tool.
I now will show you these steps in detail. I use the names of components—such as RootCA, SubordinateCA, and Management—and refer to users—such as Admin and CAAdmin—to illustrate who performs these steps. All component names and user names in this post are for illustrative purposes only.
Deploy the solution
Step 1: Delegate permissions to CA administrators
In this section, you will delegate permissions to a user who can manage your Enterprise CAs. Your user then can join an Enterprise CA to your AWS Managed Microsoft AD domain and create the certificate template in your CA.
To enable use with a Microsoft Enterprise CA, AWS added a built-in AD security group called AWS Delegated Enterprise Certificate Authority Administrators that has delegated permissions to install and administer a Microsoft enterprise CA. By default, your directory Admin is part of the new group and can add other users or groups in your AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory to this security group. If you have established trust with your on-premises AD directory, you can also delegate CA administrative permissions to your on-premises users by adding on-premises AD users, global groups to this AD security group.
To create a new user (in this case CAAdmin) in your directory and add this user to the AWS Delegated Enterprise Certificate Authority Administrators security group, follow these steps:
 1. Sign in to the Management instance using RDP with the user name Admin and the password that you set for the Admin user when you created your directory.
 2. Launch the Microsoft Windows Server Manager on the Management instance and navigate to Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.
 Figure 2: Screnshot of the menu including the 'Active Directory Users and Computers' choice
 3. Switch to the tree view and navigate to corp.example.com > CORP > Users. Right-click Users and choose New > User.
 Figure 3: Screenshot of choosing New < User
 4. Add a new user with the First name CA, Last name Admin, and User logon name CAAdmin.
 Figure 4: Screenshot of completing the 'New Object - User' boxes
 5. In the Active Directory Users and Computers tool, navigate to corp.example.com > AWS Delegated Groups. In the right pane, right-click AWS Delegated Enterprise Certificate Authority Administrators and choose Properties.
 Figure 5
 6. In the AWS Delegated Enterprise Certificate Authority Administrators window, switch to the Members tab and choose Add.
 Figure 6
 7. In the Enter the object names to select box, type CAAdmin and choose OK.
 Figure 7: Screenshot showing the 'Enter the object names to select' box
 8. In the next window, choose OK to add CAAdmin to the AWS Delegated Enterprise Certificate Authority Administrators security group.
 Figure 8: Screenshot of adding "CA Admin" to the 'AWS Delegated Enterprise Certificate Authority Administrators' security group
 9. Also add CAAdmin to the AWS Delegated Server Administrators security group so that CAAdmin can RDP in to the Microsoft Enterprise CA machine.
 Note: If you plan to follow Step 3, automated deployment option, you must also add the user to the AWS Delegated Administrators group. If the user is not a member of this group, the deployment will fail.
You have granted CAAdmin permissions to join a Microsoft Enterprise CA to your AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory domain.
Step 2: Set up S3 bucket to store certificate revocation lists (CRLs) and certificates
Note: If you do not want to use an S3 bucket to store the certificates and CRLs you do not need to. If you choose not to use S3, you will need to store and host the CRLs on the Enterprise CA itself in order for the AWS Managed Microsoft AD domain controller to be able to reach the CRLs. You can find information on how to do this here.
 1. 1. You need to create or use an existing S3 bucket that is used to store both CAs certificates and certificate revocations lists (CRL). See here for steps on how to create an S3 bucket.
 2. Ensure public access is NOT blocked. See here how to set S3 bucket public access.
 3. Create three (3) folders named Root, Subordinate, and Private. See here for steps on how to create S3 folders.
 Note: For all examples in this guide, we will be using the S3 bucket named corp-example-com.
If you use the Quick Start automation to deploy the CA architecture, proceed to the next step: Step 3, automated deployment option. If you are deploying the CA architecture manually, skip to Step 3, manual deployment option. If you are using cross-forest PKI enrollment to deploy the CA architecture, skip to Step 5: Create a certificate template.
Step 3, automated deployment option: Install and configure an offline CA and add a Microsoft Enterprise CA to your AWS Managed Microsoft AD
Note: This option assumes that you do not have a Root CA deployed. If you have a Root CA, skip to Step 4, manual deployment option: Add a Microsoft Enterprise CA to your AWS Managed Microsoft AD.
Step 3a, automated deployment option: Create an AWS Secrets Manager secret to store the CAAdmin service account information
In this section, you store the CAAdmin account credentials in an AWS Secrets Manager secret. This secret is needed for the automation that creates the CA infrastructure.
Note: if you prefer, you can use the Admin account instead of the CAAdmin account.
 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Secrets Manager console.
 2. Choose Store a new secret.
 3. On the Store a new secret page, under Select secret type, choose Other type of secrets.
 4. Under Specify the key/value pairs to be stored in the secret, do the following:
 1. In the first field, enter username, and in the same row, in the next field, enter CAAdmin.
 2. Choose Add row.
 3. On the new row, in the first field, enter password, and on the same row, in the next field, enter the password for CAAdmin.
 4. Under Select the encryption key, choose DefaultEncryptionKey. Secrets Manager always encrypts the secret when you choose this option. You can also choose a key that you created.
 5. Choose Next.
 5. Under Secret name, enter a name for the secret.
 6. Leave the default settings for the remaining fields and choose Next.
 7. For Configure automatic rotation, choose Disable automatic rotation, and then choose Next.
 8. Review the settings, and then choose Store to save your changes. The Secrets Manager console returns you to the list of secrets in your account with your new secret included in the list.
 9. Choose your newly created secret from the list, and take note of the Secret ARN value. You will need it in the next section.
Step 3b, automated deployment option: Deploy an offline Root CA and Microsoft Enterprise Subordinate CA using the Microsoft Public Key Infrastructure Quick Start template
In this section, you are deploying an Offline Root CA and Microsoft Enterprise Subordinate CA using the Microsoft Public Key Infrastructure Quick Start. Because you use a Quick Start template for this deployment, you only need to enter the following information – do not change the default values for any fields not explicitly mentioned here:
 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS CloudFormation console.
 2. Choose Create Stack.
 3. For Prepare template, choose Template is ready.
 4. For Template source

This article is about ozamiz misamis occidental philippines. If you ever wanted to find out more about dating girls from around the world, this is for you. Read more of ozamiz misamis occidental philippines:
About ozamiz misamis:
The name ozamiz misamis comes from the Spanish "ozamico" or "ozamis." The name girls looking for men originates from the island of Ozamiz in the middle east. In early history, the people there used the local name "Mizamiz" as the local name of their people, which means "Mizamis." The term "Mizamis" was used for the whole island in the region, but the name "ozamiz" was reserved for the specific town of Ozamiz in Ozamiz district. The "ozamiz" suffix, which can also mean "love" was added to the word in late medieval times. Today, this word has become a common term for the type of people in a certain area.
ozamiz is a tropical, subtropical and subtropical island located on the south west corner of Africa.
The area of Ozamiz was first settled by Muslims in the middle ages. Later, the island was settled by Jews, who were the only Asians in the region, who were called "Mizass". At that time, there was no English word for the word "Mizass".
Ozamiz is divided into a number of different districts with their own languages. There are different districts in Ozamiz called "Zaman" (the name is derived from the Arabic word, "zaman", which marisa raya means "the place"). The main town of Ozamiz is known as "Kizamiz". The district of "Mizas" is a mix of the other two. The name Ozamiz means "the place where the sun rises". "Ozamiz" is a port city (called "Pangkas", the port of the sun). In most of the districts in Ozamiz, the most common language of the people is kaittie the same as their region's language, "Sawan". The people of Ozamiz have a very high standard of health, with an average life expectancy of 66 years. Ozamiz is known for the quality of its food. You can find the best food anywhere in the world, it's just expensive. It's like it was made for everyone. But it's cheap. That's why there are so many good restaurants here. And because the food is so cheap, you don't need a lot of money to live a healthy life here.
There are many places to eat and drinks in Ozamiz. And the people are friendly. The people here really are very nice. The food is amazing. And you can find many restaurants and bars. And there are lots of places to do some shopping. I had a great time staying in this little town of Ozamiz. This is a great place to visit. I recommend you go to this little town in Ozamiz Philippines for a couple of days. They are very cheap to stay here. I stayed in one room. It cost me less than US$5 per day and a lot of the other girls in the town are quite cheap to spend a little bit more for a bigger room or more comfy chairs. The town is not too crowded or too small. It's just a little town with a lot of history.
I love this town. It's so small, you can take an hour and get somewhere to go and it's a nice place to relax. I recommend going there for one or two nights. It's nice to have the whole town to yourself. There are all the little restaurants where you can relax with a good drink or a cup of coffee. This is a good place to get to know a local girl, meet other local girls and have a few drinks. There is also a lot of cute girls in the area and they'll all be happy to chat to you. In all, I really recommend this place for a night of fun.
I just came back from a trip to Ozamiz and it was like a whole different world. Ozamiz is one of my favorite cities, and this is free online date the place I'll return to. We went to one of the famous bars and found this very cute girl there. She was super nice and asked about me for some reason. She was so friendly and the atmosphere was really laid back. I'll definitely be coming back. The food is so yummy, it's a must-visit for any traveler. We ate at a super-friendly place and had a nice conversation about a lot of things.
This place is beautiful, very classy, very clean and very chill. Everything is so good here. I had the fried chicken and it was amazing! I am so happy I decided to try it out. The portions datingsite are so big! And the food is so good. I recommend it!
Wow. This place was sooooo good. The atmosphere is relaxed but has a great sense of place and there is always enough to eat. I have never been here as a waitress or the owner, but have tried a couple other places and celibataire.com found the quality of food and service to be a step above. It is a little noisy, but if you are not in a hurry to leave, you will not be disappointed. My favorite part of the meal was the grilled chicken. It was good but it was also juicy, tender, and very flavorful. The only bad part was that it was very oily. That can be a little bit of a bummer if you are a meat eater.
Great food! We ordered the grilled chicken and shrimp. Very flavorful, but we didn't get the shrimp portion we were expecting. They gave us the fried calamari instead, which I thought was pretty good but was very fatty. I asian dating free chat also got the mango salad for my main dish. It was a really healthy salad, with mango chunks in every bowl. Also, we had our main dish served with a rice bowl that was super filling. We ended up getting about 8 people total with us, so it's not like it was just us. They were very accommodating with us asking if we could take a break after our first course. I don't think it's anything like what you'd find in other places.

"Sports is great binder & leveler it teaches respect for all"
The idea got planted when I switched on my TV for the 2016 Euro Cup opening match, For a second looking at the French team in the match i got confused whether it was an Afro cup.
Does Race or Ethnicity has relationship on how you perform in a particular sport, What Inherent Traits stand out with a particular race/ethnicity/group of people which might tilt a particular sport in their favor.
Olympics was my chance to analyze this and it has to be driven by data and analytical techniques. The findings/observation/indication shared in the article are solid. So the winner here is not USA,Britain or China but a Race/Ethnic Group due to the specific traits they posses more than the others
Classifying Each Sports Based on Bio-Motor Trait/Ability
Went through each sport and based on what human Motor ability/trait is most needed categorized them as: Strength (physical), Speed, Endurance, Coordination/Mental Strength & Mix of these
How to read the sample chart…. The trait needed most is highlighted in green, the 2nd most trait needed is highlighted as yellow and the 3rd most is in Red. A particular sport may need a unique trait (i.e Shot Put ) or a combination of traits (i.e Rugby Seven).
The Point System (weightage)
~2300 individual athletes won medals (either Gold/Silver/Bronze) in Individual or Team Events. Here each athletes medal,countries cultural inclination to the sport, each countries sporting infra,each countries is accounted.
- Individual Gold Medal=5 Points, Individual Silver=3, Individual Bronze=1
- Team Gold=10 Points, Team Silver=6, Team Bronze=2
- High Cultural Inclination/History/Origins/Historical Wins/Idols=-1 ( points)
- Sporting Infrastructure/Money per Athlete= -1 (Negative Points)
- High Population=-1 (Negative Points)
Why Infra,Population & The Sports History in the Country…. i.e To compare Afro American Athletes with African Athletes in a particular event it is fair to factor in Infrastructure behind the athlete.
The Races/Ethnic Groups
Well there are 4 broad races, but Olympics is no fun without maximum participation and teams hence included as many ethnic groups I could research based on modern era.
WIP…..please visit in next 2 days for complete analysis……

(Medical Xpress) -- Research from North Carolina State University demonstrates that a relatively new microscopy technique can be used to improve our understanding of human tissues and other biomedical materials. The study focused specifically on eye tissues, which are damaged by scarring in diabetic patients.
Our findings are a proof of concept, showing that this technique is extremely effective at giving us the data we need on these tissues, says Dr. Albena Ivanisevic, co-author of a paper describing the research. Specifically, it gives a great deal of information on the composition of these tissues, as well as the tissues topography, or surface characteristics. Ivanisevic is an associate professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and associate professor of the joint biomedical engineering program at NC State and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The study is one of the first to explore how this technology, called bimodal dual AC mode microscopy, can improve our understanding of human tissues and biomaterials.
The research team, which included researchers from Purdue University and the University of Louisville School of Medicine, examined two types of eye tissue from diabetic patients. Specifically, they looked at the inner limiting membrane (ILM), which is the surface layer of the retina, and so-called epiretinal membranes. Epiretinal membranes are scar tissues that form on the ILM in diabetics. Scar tissue can cause significant damage to the retina and, if untreated, may lead to blindness.
There are multiple treatments for this scarring. In the United States, a common technique is for a surgeon to peel off the ILM, removing the scar tissue with it. In many other parts of the world, surgeons inject dye into the eye to better distinguish the parts of the eye they will operate on. This process is not currently allowed in the United States, due to concerns about the dyes toxicity.
The researchers launched this project, in part, to determine if bimodal dual AC mode microscopy could be used to provide a better understanding of the topographical properties of the ILM. Further, the researchers wanted to use the technology to see if it offered insight into how or whether various dyes affect the topographical characteristics of the ILM. All of this information could be used to improve surgical outcomes and to foster research into additional treatments for the condition, Ivanisevic says.
The researchers found that bimodal dual AC mode microscopy, an atomic force imaging technique, captured the properties of the tissue in exceptional detail. Atomic force imaging effectively runs a probe over the surface of a material to collect data on its topography, similar to the way in which a record players needle runs over the surface of an album.
The next step would be to use this technology to assess the utility and potential risk of various dyes, Ivanisevic says. If we can find a dye that is extremely effective and poses little risk, it may be approved for use in future surgeries.
The paper, Deposition of Triamcinolone Acetonide and Its Effect on Soft Tissue Topography, was published online June 5 in Advanced Healthcare Materials. Lead author of the paper is Celimar Valentin-Rodriguez, a Ph.D. student at Purdue. Co-authors are Ivanisevic and Dr. Tongalp Tezel, of Louisville. The research was supported by a George Washington Carver Fellowship and Research To Prevent Blindness Inc.
More information: The paper, Deposition of Triamcinolone Acetonide and Its Effect on Soft Tissue Topography, was published online June 5 in Advanced Healthcare Materials. Lead author of the paper is Celimar Valentin-Rodriguez, et al, of Louisville. The research was supported by a George Washington Carver Fellowship and Research To Prevent Blindness Inc.
Bimodal imaging is utilized to characterize the topography of human tissue samples. The deposition of Triamcinolone Acetonide (TA) on various surfaces including surgical human inner limiting membrane (ILM) samples and collagen fibrillar sheetswas studied. Changes in composition were well defined with bimodal imaging when TA deposition was examined on mica. TA sedimentation resulted in observable changes in ILM topography when compared to collagen fibrillar sheets. The heterogeneous chemical and topographical features of the ILM tissues promoted the TA crystallization compared to the flatter and homogeneous collagen surfaces. Higher spatial resolution was achieved by imaging ILM samples in the new bimodal imaging mode. The most apparent difference was observed in the imaging of ILM samples which had been exposed to the steroid TA. The study demonstrated the usefulness of bimodal imaging to evaluate tissue samples.

The cooling system is the most critical component in a laser cutter, a well maintained system will last many years if not indefinitely, also a well maintained system will increase the cooling efficiency and life span of the laser tube.
We know that the primary cooling fluid is water, but what is the difference between distilled, deionized and tap water?
Some people recommend the use of biocides and algicides to prevent bacterial growth. But why do we disagree?
We have written this article to help explain our reasoning and methodology for recommending the use of pure distilled water as a cooling medium with no added impurities.
Distilled water has low conductivity due to the absence of mineral content. This is important due to the high voltages present in a dc excited laser. By adding impurities and additives to the system you are not only increasing the fluids conductivity but also its ability to absorb minerals and oxygen present in the surrounding environment further increasing the conductivity.
Typically a DC excited laser operates with voltages in the range of 15-65kV thats 65,000V DC, at these voltages you have to take into consideration the air gap, conductivity of surrounding materials and the capacitive coupling effect of the glass laser tube. Its hard to comprehend but at these voltage levels electricity can travel through air, glass and water. By raising the conductivity of the cooling water, you are potentially creating a shorter (less resistant) path to ground for the electricity to travel. The end result of this can be
- Output power loss
- Damage to sensitive electronic equipment
- Positively charge cooling fluid, this can cause a range of issues including galvanic corrosion, this issue is further compounded when adding sodium based impurities such as bleach.
- A ringing noise coming from the power supply.
Image from _URL_
We are not going to attempt to calculate the conductivity of the cooling medium as this value will not be of any use to anyone.
What we will try to do is educate on why we believe pure distilled water to be the ultimate cooling medium.
- Tap water – Not recommended due to the presence of naturally occurring minerals, mineral content increases the conductivity of water.
- Engineered cooling fluid – specific fluids are now available for similar applications. At this present moment we haven't found anything that is as practical as distilled water.
- Deionized water – made by running water though electrically charged resin. If you have deionized water made from distilled water that has been sitting out exposed to air, it becomes ordinary distilled water. It's fine to use this type of leftover deionized water in place of distilled water. Unless you're certain it won't affect the outcome, do not substitute one type of water for another for any application that specifies which type to use.Helmenstine, Anne Marie, Ph.D. "The Difference Between Distilled and Deionized Water." ThoughtCo, Dec. 28, 2018, _URL_-versus-deionized-water-609435.
- Distilled water – a process that involves boiling water and condensing the steam to achieve a solution with a very low to no mineral content. The quality of distilled water is affected by the process and stages used during distillation.
Bacterial growth in cooling systems is a common issue we must overcome. Bacterial growth will reduce the cooling efficiency of the fluid, and in severe cases will reduce its ability to flow. Once a bacterial free system is achieved it can be maintained by regular water changes and the use of a silver coil.
Bacteria like most living organisms need light, food, water and suitable temperature to bread and survive. Unlike humans when conditions become unfavorable bacteria will spread spore that will remain dormant until the living conditions become unfavorable again.
This is why we recommended shocking the systems to kill off all spores and bacteria before attempting to maintain a bacteria free cooling system.
Preventing bacterial growth in a cooling system
- Seal the system, ensure minimal air can circulate the system, ensure air tight seals on hoses, ensure lids are always correctly seated etc. Ensure water return hose is always below the water level to prevent the return flow from aerating the water reservoir.
- Remove light exposure, replace the clear silicone hoses for black silicon hoses. This will stop the bacteria from receiving light exposure needed to aid growth.
- Heat, even when the laser is not in use it is advisable to keep the chiller running. Lower temperatures will slow down bacterial growth. This is not always possible or practical.
- Regular water changes, we recommend changing water once every 3 months. But for a well maintained system we have seen water free of bacteria after several years.
- Insert a silver coil into your water reservoir, the oligodynamic effects will cause damage and death to cells present in the cooling water.
Algaecides and Biocide treatments
We do not recommend the usage of algaecides or biocidal treatments due to the corrosiveness of some of these solutions, not to mention the effects on the ph instability that they can caused. They are simply not required as a preventative method of maintaining a bacterial free fluid.
The only method we recommended to prevent growth is a single silver coil in the reservoir.
Known as the oligodynamic effect, silver ions bond to cellular proteins and enzymes causing damage to cells and death. Silver can be purchased inexpensively for this exact purchase in the form of a silver coil. When placed into the cooling the silver oxidising releasing ions into the cooling medium. Do not be concerned about placing metal into the cooling water, it poses no risk of increasing the conductivity of the water, this is due to the fact that silver is insoluble in water.
If absolutely necessary the only algaecide we would recommend is the Tetra brand Algae Control, its primary active chemical is Polyquaternium (WSCP) also known as Poly[Oxyethylene(Dimethyliminio)Ethylene (Dimethyliminio)Ethylene Dichloride].
We often see people advising bleach being adding to your cooling formula as a biocide, most specifically the Clorox brand. If you take a few moments to study the safety data sheet of this product you will notice the two primary ingredients.
- Sodium hypochlorite – Its corrosive properties, common availability, and reaction products make it a significant safety risk. In particular, mixing liquid bleach with other cleaning products, such as acids or ammonia, may produce toxic fumes.Source wiki
- Sodium hydroxide – is a highly caustic base and alkali that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. Source wiki
The above properties make the product absolutely unsuitable for use in a cooling system with sensitive components as a long term solution.
Shocking a system with regular Chlorine based bleach and water mixture is ok as a short term solution to killing bacterial growth.
Mix chlorine based bleach with regular water at 1:4 ratio. Run this mixture around your system for 24 hours. Ensure this mixture is thoroughly flushed out the system. We recommend several flushing washes after shocking a system.
You can flush the system by draining all liquids, fill with regular tap water. Circulate for one hour, drain system and repeat.
For the final flush we recommend to flush with distilled water.
Bleeding air from your cooling loop
Pockets of localised air in the cooling loop of the laser tube will lead to a reduction in heat transfer, the larger the pocket of air the lower the efficiency of the loop to cool the specific area.
The laser tube is sensitive to temperatures greater than 25'c with long term irreparable damage being possible. air pockets located in the cooling cavities of the tubes optics, both reflective final mirror and columinating lens can lead to superheating of the optical components. This is also why bacterial growth is common to be found at either end of the tube, where conditions are hotter and more favorable for bacterial growth.
We have written an article that covers this subject in depth, we recommend having a read for yourself.
Please do not use cooling additives, they are simply not needed. If you are struggling to maintain stable temperatures in your cooling system your problem lies in your setup or chillers cooling ability, not the cooling waters ability to transfer heat.
A popular subject, we all know glass laser tubes tend to crack when filled with water and frozen. This is never a desirable scenario to find yourself in. We recommend the use of storage heaters, or if budget allows a chiller with heating function.
Antifreeze can be introduced into the system, but we would never recommend to rely on it for a long term solution as it has its trade offs.
Any antifreeze that is suitable for our specific application will have reduced thermal transfer properties. For example propylene glycol (the base chemical of most "RV Antifreeze" tends to change in viscosity and gel up in cold conditions.
Automotive antifreeze is not suitable for our application due to the presence of silicon hoses and sensitive gaskets in the chiller / water pump being susceptible to degradation.
If you absolutely have to use an antifreeze we recommend the use of 99.9% proof propylene glycol. But expect to see an increase in bacterial activity. In this case you will have to add a biocidal treatment to your cooling fluid.
Mix PG with distilled water at a 1:1 ratio.
Surfactants – a compound that lowers the surface tension of water to help with the removal of air. Once again using surfactants has its own trade offs, we recommend the best method of removing all air from a system is by using gravity

The Indy Grab is another basic trick that will serve you well. This trick will involve using your hands while your feet are strapped to the snowboard. Using the opposite hand of the foot you have strapped to the front section of the board, grab the toe area between the bindings and turn the board to the left or right.
The idea is to maintain your momentum and your balance while changing the direction you are headed. As with the jump, start out on flat land while you master this trick then move on to other types of terrain.
Another popular trick for the beginner to master is the Backside 180. Your expertise in jumping comes into play with this trick. To start out, again employ a level surface, but with a small bump in the terrain.
Just as you approach the bump, enter a jump. Bend your knees up to your chest while in the jump, grabbing the toe area in a similar fashion as you do with the Indy Grab. Move the board to the left or the right while still in your jump.
Immediately let go of your grab and straighten out your legs for the landing. As with any kind of a jump, you want to land flat. If executed properly, you will not lose momentum and will continue to move forward in a different direction than when you entered the jump.
One last basic trick has the colorful name of a Roast Beef. For this trick, you will be aiming at a roller. As you prepare for the jump, spring up as hard as you can, pulling your legs up toward your chest.
Grab the back of your board with the hand that corresponds to the foot you have in the heel position of the board, and lift your opposite arm into the air. Release your hold on the backside of the board and return to a slightly crouching position for your landing.
If performed correctly, you will clear the roller and continue your speed at the same level as when you entered your jump.
As is true with learning any new technique, have someone on hand who has mastered these tricks. This may be a friend, or an instructor of a snowboarding class. Not only is this an essential safety measure, but this also allows another pair of eyes to observe your form and offer suggestions on what you need to do in order to improve your performance during the learning process.
Snowboarding is a lot of fun, and learning new tricks only increases your enjoyment of the sport. Once you have mastered these few basic tricks, you will be ready to move on to more complicated techniques.

Delving deep into Data 'Black Hole' requires a Powerful Spotlight
As Central Banks develop their thinking and understanding around the creation of Data Strategies in which large amounts of banknote data are translated into meaningful information, experienced software development firm 7 Layer says important insights are available with the right approach.
The banknote equipment environment can appear daunting. Mixed fleets of machines collecting data at an enormous rate, each storing the data in different locations, formats and versions and over many years, can start to look overwhelming.
"This infamous data "black hole", just like light into an actual black hole, takes data in but emits nothing. To extract that data and uncover insights from it is a matter of applying the right technology, and with NoteChain® we now have the software to start exploring massive amounts of data quickly and efficiently," says Phil Ball, Technical Director at 7 Layer and an expert in data analytics when applied to the cash logistics industry.
"Defining what the Bank needs from the data and, therefore, defining the questions to be answered, is the key to translating data into meaningful information," says Mr. Ball. "Once it is clear what information the Bank is specifically seeking, we are in a position to use the advanced tools that are now available to us to process this data at an enormous scale."
Identifying the questions that need to be answered ultimately leads to evidence-based decision making. It is the basis of a Data Strategy, which becomes the blueprint for the approach a Bank takes to drive improvements in all aspects of its currency management program.
"To create the information needed to give Central Banks full command over their currency management system, reading banknote serial numbers is key. Once we can track an individual banknote, we can connect it to all its sensor data. We can then make sense of literally billions of data points across a currency system," says Mr. Ball.
"Besides answering the right questions, powerful data analytic software can also uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations, trends, previously unobserved customer behaviours and other useful information."
NoteChain® is designed to do exactly this. Sensor data (with serial numbers) is collected from a wide and varied range of machines in different formats, it is cleansed and de-duplicated, then run through a series of customised algorithms that translate this raw data into the requested information in the form of a customer-defined dashboard.
The visualisations are carefully designed to be straightforward and easy to understand. They are developed to answer specific questions relevant to currency management including optimising demand and supply, the specification of the banknote and the performance of the banknote in circulation.
Says Mr. Ball, "Another issue is to unearth so-called good data which is considered to be not only consistent, but sufficient to answer the right questions and efficient to gather."
In applying NoteChain® to a currency system, besides ensuring that the Bank owns the data itself, the practicalities of setting up the right approach to access and bring together good data depend on a number of factors, including:
 - how many physical sites are part of the network
 - the mix of banknote equipment being used
 - third parties who are handling the banknotes at different points in the system, and
 - understanding any Notes Held to Order used
NoteChain® is the world's only data analytic platform designed specifically for end-to-end currency management. It provides accurate, bespoke banknote currency performance insights that can only be accessed via the computational power of this data analytic solution.

Verrazano Globe, 1530
Gilded copper
Diameter 5 1/2 inches (133mm)
Purchased by Pierpont Morgan, 1912
Item description:
One of the earliest dated globes, this gilded sphere depicts the world as known from the explorations of Giovanni da Verrazano, who journeyed to the New World in 1524. He sailed along the coast from South Carolina to Newfoundland, becoming the first European since the Norse colonizers of ca. 1000 to visit New York and Narragansett Bay. The globe, executed by sculptor Robertus de Bailly in 1530, was based on a 1529 map by Verrazano's brother, Girolamo. Like the map, it identifies the newly charted North American continent as Verrazana.

Non-Directiveness
Non-directiveness refers to the nature of the genetic counseling process. According to the principle of non-directiveness, the genetic counselor has the responsibility to provide the client with accurate information about a test or outcome but should remain neutral and not try to influence the decisions made by the client.
Narration Transcription
Non-directiveness is an approach we use in providing genetic information in counseling in as balanced a fashion as possible without exerting pressure or coercion as to what the clients' decision should be or what their actions should be following our session. Non-directiveness is really most often thought about within the context of decision making when it comes to childbearing issues, but extends into almost any aspect of genetic counseling when helping a family, helping an individual, make decisions that are based upon their values, their beliefs, and the issues that they feel most important.

What does Harmony Stand for?
Harmony comes from the Latin harmonĭa, which derives from the Greek ἁρμονία , which means agreement, concordance, combination, and the verb ἁρμόζω (harmozo), which means to adjust, connect.
Harmony occurs when there is a balance and a convenient and adequate proportion, concordance and correspondence of some things with others, and where appropriate, pleasing to the senses, for example, to the eye, such as colors. Something in harmony is usually something really beautiful, cheerful, pleasant, relaxing and peaceful, although in music, for example, there is also harmony that produces tension, or is dissonant.
In music, especially in western music, harmony is the art of uniting and combining different sounds, but consistent and pleasing to the ear, which are emitted simultaneously.
It is also called harmony to science, technique and discipline that allows both the formation, succession and modulation of the chords (combination of three or more different notes that sound simultaneously or in an arpeggio), such as the chaining and combination of these forming a musical composition.
The harmony works as accompaniment, frame and base of one or more melodies.
In the literature, harmony is called the pleasant variety of sounds, pauses and measures that results in both verse and prose for the proper combination of syllables, voices and clauses used.
The expression 'have harmony with' or 'live in perfect harmony' can mean having an agreement, a good friendship or relationship, a relationship of peace, good communication and good correspondence or compatibility of opinion and action with someone or with a group.
However, the concept of harmony depends on each culture and each era, that is, what was harmony in the second century, may not be in the twentieth century and what is harmony in China, may not be in Spain.
