This study compared the effects of immune-modulating and general balanced formulas on lymphocyte distribution and leukocyte adhesion molecule expression in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Twelve patients with Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score 8~15 were allocated to 2 groups. Control group received general balanced formula whereas test group received either one of the immune-modulating formula (Impact-glutamine or Nu-Immune). The immune-modulating formulas contain arginine ω-3 fatty acid and glutamine in addition to complete balanced nutrition. Blood samples were collected before and 3 and 7 d after enteral feeding in all patients, and were analyzed for lymphocyte distribution and leukocyte adhesion molecule expression by flow cytometry. The results showed that after enteral feeding for 3 days, the CD8 percentage was higher and CD4/CD8 ratio was lower in the test group than those of the control group. There were no differences in CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19 distribution and leukocyte CD11a/CD18, CD11b/CD18 expression before and after enteral feeding in both groups. Also, no differences in these parameters were observed between the 2 groups. Since CD3 is the marker of T cells and CD19 is the marker of B cells, and CD11a/CD18, CD11b/CD18 expression are correlated with inflammatory reaction, these results suggest that immuno-modulating formulas do not result in immunosuppression. Compared with the balanced formula, immuno-modulating formula had no favorable effect on lymphocyte distribution and leukocyte associated inflammation in ICU patients.

Moderate Flooding Continues Along Huron River
February 26, 2018
A flood warning continues for the Huron River in Hamburg Township.
River levels are dropping throughout Michigan after flooding last week and over the weekend because of heavy rains and melting snow. Moderate flooding is occurring along the Huron River. Flood stage is 6.5 feet. The Huron River is at 7.1 feet and slowly falling. The flood warning is in effect until further notice, although the river is forecast to fall below flood stage late Wednesday. The National Weather Service says dry weather is expected for the next few days which will allow rivers to continue to slowly recede across the region. However, another system coming through Thursday may bring more significant rainfall that could result in rises in the rivers again.
Meanwhile, the Grand River in Grand Rapids crested Sunday more than two feet higher than flood stage, after peaking Friday in the Lansing area. In southwestern Michigan, the Kalamazoo River was receding after peaking above a 1947 record. Some used kayaks and jet skis in flooded areas. (JM)


VSWR Return Loss Table or Chart
- table showing the conversion between reflected power, VSWR and return loss.
When designing or building an electronic circuit, using radio frequency elements the return loss is of great importance as are the voltage standing wave ratio, and reflection coefficient for the signal. This can be of great importance when using or designing RF equipment.
While it is often necessary to calculate the VSWR or return loss, when undertaking RF design, or maintaining or using RF equipment it can some times be useful to convert between return loss, VSWR and voltage reflection coefficient.
Return Loss (dB) is defined as a ratio of the incoming signal to the same reflected signal as it enters a component. The Return Loss (RL) may also be explained as the difference between the power of a transmitted signal and the power of the signal reflections caused by variations in link and channel impedance. A return loss plot indicates how well the link and channel's impedance matches its rated impedance over a range of frequencies. High return loss values mean a close impedance match, which results in greater differentiation between the powers of transmitted and reflected signals.

Illinois State Museum Quaternary Studies Program
Scientists in the Museum's Quaternary Studies Program investigate the environments, plants, animals, and human adaptations of the Pleistocene (Ice-Age) and Holocene (last 10,000 years). This interdisciplinary research program examines past environments, biota, and human lifeways using the combined expertise of earth, natural, and social scientists. It's one of the few programs in the country that examines long-term trends in the climate, landscape, and biota of the Midwestern United States, with an emphasis on the period from 40,000 years ago to the present, while integrating changing human-land interactions over the last 11,500 years.

AI can detect human emotions with wireless signals
Image credit: Dreamstime
An AI has been developed that can reportedly use wireless signals to reveal peoples' inner emotions.
According to researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the use of radio waves to measure heartrate and breathing signals can be used to predict how someone is feeling even in the absence of any other visual cues, such as facial expressions.
Participants were initially asked to watch a video selected by researchers for its ability to evoke one of four basic emotion types: anger, sadness, joy and pleasure.
Whilst the individual was watching the video, the researchers sent radio signals like those transmitted by wireless systems, such as radar or Wi-Fi, towards the individual and measured the signals that bounced back off them. By analysing changes to these signals caused by slight body movements, the researchers were able to reveal 'hidden' information about an individual's heart and breathing rates.
Previous research has used similar non-invasive or wireless methods of emotion detection. However, in these studies data analysis has depended on the use of classical machine learning approaches, whereby an algorithm is used to identify and classify emotional states within the data.
For this study, the scientists employed deep learning techniques, where an artificial neural network learns its own features from time-dependent raw data, and showed that this approach could detect emotions more accurately than traditional machine learning methods.
Achintha Avin Ihalage, a PhD student at Queen Mary, said: "Deep learning allows us to assess data in a similar way to how a human brain would work, looking at different layers of information and making connections between them.
"Most of the published literature that uses machine learning measures emotions in a subject-dependent way, recording a signal from a specific individual and using this to predict their emotion at a later stage.
"With deep learning, we've shown we can accurately measure emotions in a subject-independent way, where we can look at a whole collection of signals from different individuals and learn from this data and use it to predict the emotion of people outside of our training database."
Methods to detect human emotions are often used by researchers involved in psychological or neuroscientific studies, but these approaches could also have wider implications for the management of health and wellbeing.
Ahsan Noor Khan, a PhD student at Queen Mary and first author of the study, said: "Being able to detect emotions using wireless systems is a topic of increasing interest for researchers as it offers an alternative to bulky sensors and could be directly applicable in future 'smart' home and building environments.
"In this study, we've built on existing work using radio waves to detect emotions and show that the use of deep learning techniques can improve the accuracy of our results.
"We're now looking to investigate how we could use low-cost existing systems, such as Wi-Fi routers, to detect emotions of a large number of people gathered, for instance in an office or work environment."

Te Papa Research Fellow Patrick Brownsey was recently contacted about a population near Levin of the very rare Ophioglossum petiolatum.
Ophioglossum are odd looking ferns, as befits a common name of "adder's tongue ferns". We don't have a picture of O. petiolatum (stalked adder's tongue fern), but the related O. coriaceum is similar; O. petiolatum has a rounder leaf and a longer fertile spike than shown in the drawing below.
Ophioglossum petiolatum has a Nationally Critical conservation status in New Zealand. More details and photos from the Plant Conservation Network.
Pat saw the Hokio population about 30 years ago, and wrote an article about it. A local landowner wanted to know if the population still persisted. Primary Science Teacher Fellow Wendy Hogg and I joined Pat for the hunt, but we were unsuccessful. The area is much changed, and it seems unlikely (but not impossible) that O. petiolatum survives near Levin. 1985 article about Ophioglossum petiolatum at Hokio (2.3 MB pdf).
However, we did find the unusual, floating liverwort Ricciocarpos natans. Although only a centimetre or two across, it is very distinctive. It has a Nationally Endangered conservation status, but it is probably under-collected, and may be more common than appreciated. Please look out for it amongst the "duckweed" on your local ponds!

Why does Sunny come back to Holden's room?
Holden gets into bed and thinks about religion and Jesus. He considers himself an atheist. He hears a knock on his door and opens it, still wearing his pajamas. Maurice and the prostitute, Sunny, come into his room and demand five dollars. Holden refuses to give it to them, even when Maurice threatens him. Sunny takes Holden's wallet and pulls out five dollars. He begins to cry and calls them thieves. Maurice snaps him in the privates, punches him in the gut, and leaves him crumpled on the floor. Holden pretends he's been shot and fantasizes his revenge.

The Schoolmaster Engineer: Adam Anderson of Perth and St Andrews _PHONE_
Kenneth Cameron (2007)
The Ferguson Gallery, formerly Perth's old water works, which now houses the celebrated J D Ferguson art collection, is an outstanding feature of Scotland's industrial archaeology. Strangely, this architectural and engineering triumph, the powerhouse of the city's first genuinely clean drinking water system, was the creation of a schoolmaster, Dr Adam Anderson (_PHONE_), Rector of Perth Academy.
In his revised and extended biographical study of this native of Kincardine-on-Forth, Kenneth Cameron describes the origins and construction of Anderson's water system and of a bewildering array of other contributions to his adopted city, during a period of rapid economic change, technological advance, social upheaval, and political and religious crises. Anderson's personal contributions towards the Georgian Fair City's public service infrastructure, economic well-being, and its environmental preservation were unequaled, and many proved durable.
This study provides, in addition, glimpses of Kincardine's mercantile past, a worm's eye view of student life at St Andrews University at the turn of the 18th century, and of the challenges facing an ambitious itinerant tutor migrating annually between Enlightenment Edinburgh and rural Angus. Political turmoil in Perth in the First Reform Act era, and of strife amongst the professoriate of St Andrews University, where Anderson secured controversially the chair of natural philosophy nine years before his death, also feature.
A native of Perth, Kenneth Cameron attended Perth Academy. After graduating initially from Aberdeen, he completed a PhD in Scottish History at Edinburgh University, before qualifying in librarianship at Strathclyde. Posts in archives and librarianship at Dundee University led to eventual responsibility for Bibliographic Services, before he returned to Strathclyde University in 1986 as Depute Librarian. Dr Cameron's first real encounter with Adam Anderson was when, as a very young member of the former Perth Town Council, he actively supported the decision to preserve the former waterworks for posterity. The first edition of The Schoolmaster Engineer was published by the Abertay Historical Society in 1988.

See "gn help buildargs" for an overview of how build arguments work.
Most operations take a build directory. The build arguments are taken from
the previous build done in that directory. If a command specifies --args, it
will override the previous arguments stored in the build directory, and use
the specified ones.
The args specified will be saved to the build directory for subsequent
commands. Specifying --args="" will clear all build arguments.
Formatting
The value of the switch is interpreted in GN syntax. For typical usage of
string arguments, you will need to be careful about escaping of quotes.

gn gen out/Default --args="foo=\"bar\""
gn gen out/Default --args='foo="bar" enable=true blah=7'
gn check out/Default --args=""

If you set a value in a build's "gn args" and never use it in the build (in
a declare_args() block), GN will normally print an error but not fail the
build.
In many cases engineers would use build args to enable or disable features
that would sometimes get removed. It would by annoying to block work for
typically benign problems. In Chrome in particular, flags might be configured
for build bots in a separate infrastructure repository, or a declare_args
block might be changed in a third party repository. Treating these errors as
blocking forced complex multi- way patches to land what would otherwise be
simple changes.
In some cases, such concerns are not as important, and a mismatch in build
flags between the invoker of the build and the build files represents a
critical mismatch that should be immediately fixed. Such users can set this
flag to force GN to fail in that case.

Normally GN will look up in the directory tree from the current directory to
find a ".gn" file. The source root directory specifies the meaning of "//"

first thing loaded.
Specifying --root allows GN to do builds in a specific directory regardless

The root target is the target initially loaded to begin population of the
build graph. It defaults to "//:" which normally causes the "//BUILD.gn" file
to be loaded. It can be specified in the .gn file via the "root" variable (see
"gn help dotfile").
If specified, the value of this switch will be take precedence over the value
in ".gn". The target name (after the colon) is ignored, only the directory
name is required. Relative paths will be resolved relative to the current "//"
directory.
Specifying a different initial BUILD.gn file does not change the meaning of
the source root (the "//" directory) which can be independently set via the
--root switch. It also does not prevent the build file located at "//BUILD.gn"
from being loaded if a target in the build references that directory.
One use-case of this feature is to load a different set of initial targets
from project that uses GN without modifying any files.

Red Hat Training
A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5.4.4. Creating Thinly-Provisioned Logical Volumes
As of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 release, logical volumes can be thinly provisioned. This allows you to create logical volumes that are larger than the available extents. Using thin provisioning, you can manage a storage pool of free space, known as a thin pool, which can be allocated to an arbitrary number of devices when needed by applications. You can then create devices that can be bound to the thin pool for later allocation when an application actually writes to the logical volume. The thin pool can be expanded dynamically when needed for cost-effective allocation of storage space.
Note
This section provides an overview of the basic commands you use to create and grow thinly-provisioned logical volumes. For detailed information on LVM thin provisioning as well as information on using the LVM commands and utilities with thinly-provisioned logical volumes, see the lvmthin(7) man page.
Note
Thin volumes are not supported across the nodes in a cluster. The thin pool and all its thin volumes must be exclusively activated on only one cluster node.
To create a thin volume, you perform the following tasks:
 1. Create a volume group with the vgcreate command.
 2. Create a thin pool with the lvcreate command.
 3. Create a thin volume in the thin pool with the lvcreate command.
You can use the -T (or --thin) option of the lvcreate command to create either a thin pool or a thin volume. You can also use -T option of the lvcreate command to create both a thin pool and a thin volume in that pool at the same time with a single command.
The following command uses the -T option of the lvcreate command to create a thin pool named mythinpool that is in the volume group vg001 and that is 100M in size. Note that since you are creating a pool of physical space, you must specify the size of the pool. The -T option of the lvcreate command does not take an argument; it deduces what type of device is to be created from the other options the command specifies.
# lvcreate -L 100M -T vg001/mythinpool
 Rounding up size to full physical extent 4.00 MiB
 Logical volume "mythinpool" created
# lvs
 LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert
 my mythinpool vg001 twi-a-tz 100.00m 0.00
The following command uses the -T option of the lvcreate command to create a thin volume named thinvolume in the thin pool vg001/mythinpool. Note that in this case you are specifying virtual size, and that you are specifying a virtual size for the volume that is greater than the pool that contains it.
# lvcreate -V1G -T vg001/mythinpool -n thinvolume
 Logical volume "thinvolume" created
# lvs
 LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert
 mythinpool vg001 twi-a-tz 100.00m 0.00
 thinvolume vg001 Vwi-a-tz 1.00g mythinpool 0.00
The following command uses the -T option of the lvcreate command to create a thin pool and a thin volume in that pool by specifying both a size and a virtual size argument for the lvcreate command. This command creates a thin pool named mythinpool in the volume group vg001 and it also creates a thin volume named thinvolume in that pool.
# lvcreate -L 100M -T vg001/mythinpool -V1G -n thinvolume
 Rounding up size to full physical extent 4.00 MiB
 Logical volume "thinvolume" created
# lvs
 LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert
 mythinpool vg001 twi-a-tz 100.00m 0.00
 thinvolume vg001 Vwi-a-tz 1.00g mythinpool 0.00
You can also create a thin pool by specifying the --thinpool parameter of the lvcreate command. Unlike the -T option, the --thinpool parameter requires an argument, which is the name of the thin pool logical volume that you are creating. The following example specifies the --thinpool parameter of the lvcreate command to create a thin pool named mythinpool that is in the volume group vg001 and that is 100M in size:
# lvcreate -L 100M --thinpool mythinpool vg001
 Rounding up size to full physical extent 4.00 MiB
 Logical volume "mythinpool" created
# lvs
 LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert
 mythinpool vg001 twi-a-tz 100.00m 0.00
Striping is supported for pool creation. The following command creates a 100M thin pool named pool in volume group vg001 with two 64 kB stripes and a chunk size of 256 kB. It also creates a 1T thin volume, vg00/thin_lv.
# lvcreate -i 2 -I 64 -c 256 -L100M -T vg00/pool -V 1T --name thin_lv
You can extend the size of a thin volume with the lvextend command. You cannot, however, reduce the size of a thin pool.
The following command resizes an existing thin pool that is 100M in size by extending it another 100M.
# lvextend -L+100M vg001/mythinpool
 Extending logical volume mythinpool to 200.00 MiB
 Logical volume mythinpool successfully resized
# lvs
 LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert
 mythinpool vg001 twi-a-tz 200.00m 0.00
 thinvolume vg001 Vwi-a-tz 1.00g mythinpool 0.00
As with other types of logical volumes, you can rename the volume with the lvrename, you can remove the volume with the lvremove, and you can display information about the volume with the lvs and lvdisplay commands.
By default, the lvcreate command sets the size of the thin pool's metadata logical volume according to the formula (Pool_LV_size / Pool_LV_chunk_size * 64). You cannot currently resize the metadata volume, however, so if you expect significant growth of the size of thin pool at a later time you should increase this value with the --poolmetadatasize parameter of the lvcreate command. The supported value for the thin pool's metadata logical volume is in the range between 2MiB and 16GiB.
You can use the --thinpool parameter of the lvconvert command to convert an existing logical volume to a thin pool volume. When you convert an existing logical volume to a thin pool volume, you must use the --poolmetadata parameter in conjunction with the --thinpool parameter of the lvconvert to convert an existing logical volume to the thin pool volume's metadata volume.
Note
Converting a logical volume to a thin pool volume or a thin pool metadata volume destroys the content of the logical volume, since in this case the lvconvert does not preserve the content of the devices but instead overwrites the content.
The following example converts the existing logical volume lv1 in volume group vg001 to a thin pool volume and converts the existing logical volume lv2 in volume group vg001 to the metadata volume for that thin pool volume.
# lvconvert --thinpool vg001/lv1 --poolmetadata vg001/lv2
 Converted vg001/lv1 to thin pool.

Recklinghausen Tonometer (sphygmomanometer), Germany, _PHONE_
This tonometer is a type of sphygmomanometer. A sphygmomanometer measured the force, rate and variations in the pulse. The tonometer consists of two overlapping cuffs. It measures the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This means the force that blood flows with from the heart into the arteries and the forces as the heart relaxes and fills again with blood. It is the commonest technique for measuring blood pressure. It is also completely safe. This device was developed by Heinrich von Recklinghausen (_PHONE_) in the 1920s. He was a leading researcher in blood pressure and blood pressure measurement.

text: This article is a theoretical examination of tactility in the Czech surrealist filmmaker Jan Švankmajer's film Down to the Cellar (1983). Švankmajer's deployment of tactile images in a surrealist context shows the need for a discussion of the imagination's role in the embodied film experience. Departing from Laura Marks's The Skin of the Film, this article seeks to explore the surrealist embodied imagination through surrealist poetics of analogy, as defined by Andre' Breton, and the link between these and Walter Benjamin's writings on mimesis. Finally, the film is viewed from the perspective of Gaston Bachelard's ideas of ''the imagination of matter,'' where matter is seen as a highly potent stimulant for the imagination. Bachelard's notion of the imagination's multisensory properties further lends credence to Švankmajer's aims to liberate the imagination of the spectator through images that invoke touch.

In the early 20th century, fireplaces were not very efficient at keeping homes warm. Frustrated with this situation, a young woman named Alice H. Parker decided to design a new heating system. The design she eventually patented is considered the first heating system with independently controlled units and fueled by natural gas.
Creating a new comfort zone
By Parker's time, thousands of patents had been issued for heating stoves and furnaces, but hers may have been the first using a zone control approach. This was a fine achievement for any inventor, but all the more remarkable considering that Parker was an African-American woman. When she applied for the patent in July 1918, few opportunities were open to women of color. Women didn't even have the right to vote!
It took more than a year to earn the patent, which was finally granted in December 1919. It read: "To provide a comparatively simple, reliable and efficient heating furnace in which gas is employed for the fuel, whereby economy of labor and fuel cost is effected and greater flexibility in the operation obtained."
Parker's heating furnace had several unique features:
- Cool air was drawn into the furnace and then sent through a heat exchanger.
- Warm air was delivered throughout the home via air ducts.
- A multiple, individually controlled burner system used natural gas.
- The temperature could be adjusted in different areas of the building.
According to the patent, each combustion chamber contained a gas burner connected to a gas manifold with a pipe. A regulating valve was operated using pull chains from a point remote from the furnace. A pilot burner lighted the main burner as soon as the gas was turned on. Baffle plates at the bottom of each unit arranged alternately at opposite sides produced more effective heating.
Discovering a little-known inventor
Not much is known about Alice Parker's life. She lived in Morristown, New Jersey, when she submitted her patent. She may have attended classes at the Howard University Academy in Washington D.C., a high school connected to Howard University. The academy was established to prepare students for attending Howard's College of Liberal Arts.
Parker is said to have earned a certificate with honors from the academy, another remarkable achievement for an African-American woman at that time. There is little additional information available about her education or career, except for a March 1920 announcement in a Seattle paper, Cayton's Weekly, that she had been issued the patent.
Parker's invention could be considered the precursor of the forced-air central heating systems used today. She was finally recognized for her invention almost a century later. In 2014, the New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce named Parker one of the state's 25 greatest innovators — one of only five women to make the list.

A Study of a Simplified Theory of Gravity Concentration in Coal Jigs
R. P. CHARBONNIER
To understand the operation of jigs and other separating processes based on differences in gravity, it is desirable to analyse the motion of various particles in given media under specific conditions. A summary of the earlier theories shows that they lead to unsatisfactory or excessively complicated formulae in cases such as coal jigging. By adopting a simplified theory of the motion of particles in a fluid, the size and duration of the initial accelerated motion of a particle falling in hindered settling can be calculated. Based on this mathematical analysis, examples referring to actual coal jigging practice show that it is desirable to prolong and / or repeat, as frequently as possible, the optimum conditions corresponding to an effective acceleration of the particles. The separation is then obtained according to gravity rather than to particle dimensions, as would be the case if the velocity of the particles were allowed to approach its terminal value. To achieve this gravity separation, it is suggested that the suction phase of the jigging cycle be artificially prolonged and the frequency of pulsations increased as much as possible for washing the coals of smaller sizes.

Various beam theories are formulated in literature using the nonlocal differential constitutive relation proposed by Eringen. A new variational framework is derived in the present paper by following a consistent thermodynamic approach based on a nonlocal constitutive law of gradient-type. Contrary to the results obtained by Eringen, the new model exhibits the nonlocality effect also for constant axial load distributions. The treatment can be adopted to get new benchmarks for numerical analyses. 1. Introduction Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a topic of major interest both from theoretical and applicative points of view. This subject is widely investigated in literature to describe small-scale effects [1–4], vibration and buckling [5–13], and nonlocal finite element analysis [14–18]. A comprehensive review on applications of nonlocal elastic models for CNTs is reported in and therein references. Buckling of triple-walled CNTs under temperature fields is dealt with in . An alternative methodology is based on an atomistic-based approach which predicts the positions of atoms in terms of interactive forces and boundary conditions. The standard approach to analyze CNTs under axial loads consists in solving an inhomogeneous second-order ordinary differential equation providing the axial displacement field, see, for example, . The known term of the differential equation is the sum of two contributions. The former describes the local effects linearly depending on the axial load. The latter characterizes the small-scale effects depending linearly on the second derivative along the rod axis of the axial load. This model is thus not able to evaluate small-scale effects due to, constant axial loads per unit length. This approach, commonly adopted in literature, is based on the following nonlocal linearly elastic constitutive law proposed by Eringen : where is a material constant, is the internal length, is the Young modulus, is the normal stress, the apex is second derivative along the rod axis, and is the axial elongation. Indeed, integrating on the rod cross section domain and imposing that the axial force is equal to the resultant of normal stress field we get the differential equation where , with being first derivative along the rod axis of the axial displacement field , where is the rod length and denotes the cross section area. Since the equilibrium prescribes that the first derivative of is opposite to the axial load , we infer the well-known differential equation (see, e.g., ) as follows: Note that the nonlocal contribution vanishes for

to t_station by the
foreign keys trip_code and station_no.
Several types of plankton stations involve multiple units of gear,
each with their own mesh size and wire winches. In such cases,
details of these gears are recorded in the table t_gear_unit (Table
7), and are linked to t_station by the foreign keys trip_code and
station_no. The default for a single gear unit is for all data to be
recorded in t_station.
Samples of fish eggs are taken from each tow and are staged under
a microscope (by the number of cell divisions that have taken place).
The table t_eggs (Table 8) records the counts of the number of eggs
for each stage as collected for each sample from each catch.
Samples of the total catch from the plankton tow are also sampled
to determine the relative abundance of species. These abundance data
are recorded in the table t_abund (Table 9). This includes abundance
of fish, salps, zooplankton and microzooplankton.

Pot metal is a slang term used to refer to cheap metal alloys with a low melting point. The low melting point makes this metal very easy to cast, but the generally low quality can cause problems during casting and at a later date. There is no formal definition of pot metal, so it can be hard to determine its contents. Some common metals included in such alloys include zinc, lead, copper, and tin, among others.
The mixed contents of pot metal make it highly unpredictable, which can be a problem for people who are trying to create specific items. It has a tendency to become very soft and porous, and over time, it is subject to deformity. Pot metal also tends to break or bend easily, making it unsuitable for many tasks, and because some of the metals commonly included are toxic, pot metal can also be hazardous to human health.
Rapid and easy casting is the primary advantage to pot metal. No sophisticated foundry tools are needed, as comparatively low temperatures are needed to turn it into a castable liquid, and specialized casts and molds aren't necessary either. Some people like to use pot metal to play around in the foundry, experimenting with molds and ideas before using metals of higher quality, and this metal can be useful in the production of some items.

NORMAN, OK — An experimental green roof on the National Weather Center at the University of Oklahoma
is up for a Keep Oklahoma Beautiful
award in the Educational Institution category, according to The Oklahoma Daily.
The meteorology and architecture departments have joined forces to grow plants on the roof of the National Weather Center to test their effect on energy usage and stormwater runoff, the article stated.
"It can help with cooling and if we get natural cooling it helps reduce energy consumption," meteorology professor Petra Klein said.
"It also has positive impacts on air quality ... the plants themselves help to clean the air and by using less energy means fewer emissions," Klein added.
The green roof concept has been around for centuries, but found contemporary support in the last 30 years, the article noted.

The current study examined whether negative illness perceptions help explain the link between depression and quality of life. Seventy patients with epilepsy completed standardized self-report questionnaires measuring depression, illness perception, and quality of life (QOL). Illness perception statistically mediated the relationship between depression and QOL (Indirect effect (CI; confidence interval) = -.72, lower limit = -1.7, upper limit = -.22, p <.05). Results held with and without adjusting for potential confounding variables (age, sex, ethnicity, income, and seizure frequency) and when operationalizing depression as a continuous variable that indexed severity of symptoms or as a dichotomous variable that indexed criteria consistent with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. This study is the first to suggest that illness perceptions may be a useful target in screening and intervention approaches in order to improve QOL among low-income, racially/ethnically diverse patients with epilepsy.

Filters
Filters consist of the following elements: a filter name, filter rules, machine classes, operating system types, and connection types.
Filter Rules
Filter rules are comprised of a condition, match, value triplet. A filter can have multiple filter rules. The logic used to evaluate multiple filter rules is based on the Rule Aggregate option. If the Rule Aggregate option is set to AND (All Rules), all rules must evaluate true for the filter to return true. If the Rule Aggregate option is set to OR (Any Rule), the filter will return true if any rule evalutes true. The Rule Aggregate option applies to all rules in a filter. It is not possible to specify AND logic for some rules and OR logic for other rules. Table 1 lists the possible conditions and provides example values.
Condition Value
Group Membership Tests for membership in specified group.
Example:
Value: Accounting
Returns true for users that are members of the accounting group.
Primary Group* Tests value against user's assigned Primary Group.
Example:
Match: Is (Exactly)
Value: Domain Users
Returns true for users with Domain Users assigned as the Primary Group.
User Name Tests value against user's logon name.
Example:
Match: Is (Exactly)
Value: GPBurdell
Returns true if the user's logon name is GPBurdell.
TCP/IP Address Tests value against the IP address assigned to the client machine. If multiple IP addresses are assigned to the client, the first four IP addresses are tested.
Example:
Match: Is (Exactly)
Value: 192.168.1.1
Returns true if the client machine has IP Address 192.168.1.1.
Example:
Match: Begins With
Value: 10.1
Returns true if the first two octets of the client IP Address is 10.1.
Host Name Tests value against the fully qualified TCP/IP hostname.
Example:
Match: Is (Exactly)
Value: atl-001.xyz.com
Returns true if the client machine has atl-001.xyz.com assigned as the TCP/IP hostname.
Computer Name Tests value against the NetBIOS computer name.
Example:
Match: Is (Exactly)
Value: ATL-001
Returns true if the client machine is named ATL-001.
MAC Address Tests value against the address of the network adapter.
Example:
Match: Is (Exactly)
Value: 00306E053085
Returns true if the client's network adapter has address 00306E053085.
Example:
Match: Begins With
Value: 00306E
Returns true if the client's network adapter has an address that begins with 00306E. Since the first six digits of a MAC address identify the vendor, this filter would return true for network adapters manufactured by Hewlett Packard.
Domain Tests value against the domain the client machine is a member of. On Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME, tests value against the workgroup the client machine belongs to.
Example:
Match: Is (Exactly)
Value: XYZ
Returns true if the client machine is a member of the domain or workgroup XYZ.
Logon Domain* Tests value against the domain the user is logged on to.
Example:
Match: Is (Exactly)

Returns true if the user is logged on to domain ABC.
Logon Server Tests value against the name of the logon server.
Example:
Match: Is (Exactly)
Value: ADC01
Returns true if the server named ADC01 processed the user's logon.
Site** Tests value against the name of the Active Directory site the client machine resides in.
Example:
Match: Is (Exactly)
Value: Default-First-Site-Name
Returns true if the client machine resides in site Default-First-Site-Name.
TS Client Name Tests value against the NetBIOS name of the client machine connecting to the terminal server.
Example:
Match: Is (Exactly)
Value: ATL-001
Returns true if the client machine connecting to the terminal server is named ATL-001.
TS Session Name Tests value against the session name assigned to the client machine connecting to the terminal server.
Example:

Value: ICA
Returns true for all client machines connecting to the terminal server via the ICA protocol.
Table 1: Filter Rules
NOTE: Filter conditions denoted with a single asterisk can only be used on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME clients if the KXRPC Service is installed. Filter conditions denoted with a double asterisk require an Active Directory domain infrastructure and full Active Directory support on your clients. Full Active Directory support is included as part of the base operating system on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003. On Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME, you will need to install the Active Directory Client Extension to have full Active Directory support. The Active Directory Client Extension, commonly referred to as the DSClient, is available from Microsoft.
Machine Class
Allows filters to include or exclude different machine classes. Available choices are Desktop/Laptop, Terminal Server, Member Server, and Domain Controller. The Desktop/Laptop machine class will return true for all client machines that are not Terminal Servers, Member Servers, or Domain Controllers.
Operating System
Allows filters to include or exclude different operating systems.
Connection
Allows filters to include or exclude different network connection types. Available choices are LAN and Dial-up. The logic used to determine the connection type is based on active Remote Access Service (RAS) connections. If the client machine has one or more active RAS connections, it is assumed the user is on a Dial-up connection.

Managed Object Model
Managed Object Model can be defined as the set of objects that are used to form a blueprint describing the managed object we use in our application. In other words, the Managed object model can be seen as a schema that the CoreData uses.
It is an instance of NSManagedObjectModel class. However, the Managed Object Model includes the application's entities, the properties, and the relationship between them. In the previous section of this tutorial, we have created entities and added values to them.
A managed object model allows Core Data to map from records in a persistent store to managed objects that we use in the application. The model is a collection of entity description objects (instances of NSEntityDescription).
An entity description describes an entity, the name of the class used to represent the entity in the application., and it's properties.
Creating an Entity
As we have discussed in the previous section of this tutorial, if we want to use CoreData in the XCode project, we need to check the Use CoreData checkbox.
This will create a.xcdatamodeled class. To create an entity, click Add Entity button in the xcdatamodeled class, as shown in the below image.
Defining an Entity
We can define the entity in the entity pane in the right of the XCode. Here, we must notice that the entity name and the class name are not the same. The entity structure in the data model may not match the class hierarchy. The entity pane is shown in the following image.
An entity is abstract if we do not create any instances of that entity. We make an entity abstract if we have a number of entities that all inherit from a common entity that should not itself be instantiated. For example, in the Student entity, we can define Person as an abstract entity and specify that only concrete subentities (Student) can be instantiated. By marking an entity as abstract in the Entity pane of the Data Model inspector, We are informing Core Data that it will never be instantiated directly.

When it is clear that his glacier would die, he joins a cruise ship and explains to the tourists the wonders of the Antarctic. However, during the trip the ignorance of the holiday makers, their non-existing respect for the foreign world and the advancing ice melting make him even more desperate.

the speed of the computer and the network, you can change the parameters with practically no problem at frequencies of hundreds of ms or more. However, if you need to change such values periodically, you should use the data port.
(G)Timing of update
The configuration parameters can be updated at any time from tools such as RTSystemEditor and rtshell. However, actually changed parameters are reflected in actual variables at a certain timing before being referenced in functions used in functions such as onExecute and onActivated. The update timing is as follows.
At initialization Immediately after onInitialize ()
When activated Just before onActivated() is called
On error Immediately after onError()
Active state Immediately after onStateUpdate() ≒ After onExecute, immediately before the next onExecute()
(G)Is it data or parameters?
For example, consider a system that periodically sends data from a remote sensor to a central server. Data is sent only once per hour, and the server logs it. Should this data be sent using the data port? Or should I use the service port or should I use the configuration?
Since what is sent is data of the sensor, it can be said that it is best to send using the data port. Since the configuration is a mechanism to set the parameters from the outside, even if the update frequency is once per hour, it is inappropriate to communicate this data to the components in the configuration . However, if you want to realize complicated interactions (such as transactions) between the client and the server that can be realized with the data port, the service port may be used.
(G)Is it a service or parameter?
Whether it should be a data port or a configuration, in practice it will not get lost much. On the other hand, I think that there are many situations where you are at a loss as to whether you should change the parameters in the RTC logic from the service port or as configuration parameters.
If a component provides some sort of typical and somewhat comprehensive functionality, that functionality is provided externally through the interface of the service port. The service interface provides operations to acquire the target state and change the setting · mode · parameters. Apart from acquiring the state, the function of setting up and changing the mode parameter is very similar to the configuration.
As it turns out, it does not matter much which way you set it, but the function of the target RTC has already been defined as a service interface, and it is necessary to acquire and set the state, etc., to provide a somewhat complicated function In that case, it can be said that operation via the service interface is suitable. It is a good idea to use the configuration for setting other simple parameters and modes.
(G)Summary
In this theory, I explained how to define and how to use the configuration function. Parameters in the logic should be externalized using this function as much as possible to improve the reusability of the component. You also need to pay attention to what you should or should not do for the configuration parameters. If you use the configuration function effectively, the components you create will also be highly reusable.
Configuration file and command line options (Basic)
Configuration file (rtc.conf)
The component manager reads the configuration file rtc.conf at startup. A configuration file is normally created with the name rtc.conf, but you can pass a configuration file created with any name.
Location of rtc.conf
rtc.conf is usually placed in the same directory as the RTC executable file (standalone component: xxxComp, xxxComp.exe executable RTC etc.) and its settings are loaded automatically. Alternatively, you can use the -f option to load a configuration file of arbitrary name. If rtc.conf is not in the same directory as the executable file or if it is not specified with the -f option, it reads rtc.conf placed on the system instead.
Reading priority of rtc.conf is set as follows.
On Linux / Unix
 1. Command line option "-f"
 2. Environment variable "RTC_MANAGER_CONFIG"
 3. Default configuration file "./rtc.conf"
 4. Default configuration file "/etc/rtc.conf"
 5. Default configuration file "/etc/rtc/rtc.conf"
 6. Default configuration file "/usr/local/etc/rtc.conf"
 7. Default configuration file "/usr/local/etc/rtc/rtc.conf"
 8. Embedded configuration value
For Windows
 1. Command line option "-f"
 2. Environment variable "RTC_MANAGER_CONFIG"
 3. Default configuration file "./rtc.conf"
 4. Default configuration file "%RTM_ROOT%/%RTM_VC_VERSION%/rtc.conf"
In Windows, rtc.conf (usually C:\Program Files\OpenRTM-aist\(version number)\(Version of VC) placed under the directory specified by the environment variables "RTM_ROOT" and RTM_VC_VERSION )) Is loaded.
Main setting items
Below are the setting options of rtc.conf which is often used. In addition to the following options, various options can be specified in rtc.conf. For details rtc.conf setting item list.

text: For the past three decades the mountain gorillas of Karisoke Research Center have been the subject of many studies focusing on their behaviour and ecology. Long-term observations on known individuals, from birth to death, as well as data on social behavior within and between groups have led to an understanding of many aspects of the social system of gorillas. The findings have made significant contributions to models of comparative primate behavioral ecology. Mountain gorillas have also been the focus of intense conservation efforts, which have become a model for conservation programs elsewhere. While most of what we know about the genus Gorilla is based on mountain gorillas, data on the other two recognized subspecies have increased over the past 20 years. This book highlights and summarizes some of the behavioral, ecological, and conservation work on mountain gorillas, and makes comparisons with findings from other study sites. Aimed at graduate students and researchers in primatology and behavioural ecology, it will also appeal to all those interested in gorilla conservation, and represents the Most up-todate and diverse collection of information available on this endangered ape.

Fu sacrifice
Torune being reincarnated with Fū as the sacrifice.
Next, a living sacrifice is required for the soul of the reincarnated to use as a vessel.[3] Once all prerequisites for the technique have been met, the acquired DNA of the person is smeared on a special scroll and once the scroll is activated, the remains spread out in the form of a special seal with the living sacrifice in the centre. Then dust and ash encase the sacrifice's body, giving them the same appearance that the reincarnated had at the time of their death. The process is apparently somewhat painful as seen when Fū was used to reincarnate Torune. The person is then reincarnated and the end product is usually stored in a casket until summoned by the user. The user can theoretically reincarnate a limitless number of people in this way, so long as they have enough sacrifices, chakra and DNA to perform the technique.[3] Despite this, this technique also has limitations, such as the individual having limitations that inhibited them in life such as Nagato's lack of mobility and depending on the summoner's mastery of the technique, the reincarnated individuals might not be brought back with the full power they had in life. However, reincarnating an individual with full power provides a potential risk to the user as the reincarnated can resist the restraining properties before they can have a talisman implanted into their brains. Although, this has only happened twice.[10] Any chakra of the sacrifice used for the reincarnation is completely overridden with the chakra of the one being reincarnated, thus a sensor type would only sense the chakra of the reincarnated soul and won't sense anything of the victim's original chakra signature. Even though destroying a shinobi's clothing causes it to regenerate, if it was taken off willingly without destroying the clothing, it will not reform on the reincarnated. Also, any unique anatomy will be restored with the reincarnated such as Hanzō's poison gland.
It is possible for a reincarnated shinobi to be revived into a real living body again. However, any modifications to the reincarnated that already exists elsewhere will be removed as a result. Madara, for example, was resurrected without his Rinnegan, because they already existed elsewhere and were not with him when he died.[11]
Edo Tensei 2
Deidara being "activated" after being reincarnated.
When first summoned, the body of the reincarnated is stored in a coffin; their body will appear grey and in a state of minor "decay": marred by cracks and other imperfections, and the individual will also appear to be "disengaged". After inserting a talisman, their bodies become "rejuvenated", regaining their original complexion and their eyes lose their glassy state; however, their sclerae take on a grey colouring, however this has no affect on the ability of the reincarnated and they can be left in this "decay" state if the summoner chooses to give them free reign. They retain their personality, memories, and all abilities they had in life, including kekkei genkai, kekkei tōta and summoning contracts.[12] When the reincarnated is conscious and their personality is suppressed, their sclerae becomes black and gain white irises.[13] Also, any conversation the reincarnated has with others, including other reincarnations, will not be heard by the user that is controlling them from a distance.
Edo Tensei Tag
The talisman used to control the reincarnated.
Different talismans can be used to enact different degrees of control. Orochimaru's talismans completely eliminated the personalities of the summoned, turning them into mindless killing machines under his command. Kabuto prefers to use a weaker controlling talisman on certain individuals, allowing them to retain some degree of their own personality. The latter method is useful for psychological warfare,[21] and can also allow the summoned individual to tap into their own emotions, memories, or creativity to enhance their effectiveness in combat,[22] but also carries a host of drawbacks; it takes more effort to retain control with the weaker binding which can make it possible for the hearts of the summoned to be swayed by strong emotions, which can result in the soul breaking free and returning to the Pure World,[17] or the reincarnated contradicting orders that they are given.[23] Reincarnated shinobi with their personalities still intact have their movements limited to certain actions, and are basically on "auto-pilot" to react to enemy techniques.[24] Once they recognise an enemy technique their bodies are programmed to counter it with an appropriate method.[25] The individual can also control their movements to a degree such as making poor combat decisions. While the Third Raikage was forced to fight the Fourth Division of the Shinobi Alliance Army he was able to distance himself from Gengetsu, to increase the Fourth Division's ability to seal them off. Gengetsu went on to comment if it wasn't for that, they wouldn't have been sealed off. Also, if a reincarnated isn't the type to control their emotions very well and get excited over a battle, they can actually end up being an even bigger threat despite wanting to be defeated.
Kabuto controlling the revived
The pebbles and grid Kabuto uses to monitor the reincarnated shinobi.
Unlike while they were still alive, the reincarnated have unlimited chakra[31] and stamina; able to fight continuously as neither Kimimaro, Itachi nor Hayate showed any fatigue from their illnesses as they did in life, and Itachi was even able to use multiple Mangekyō Sharingan techniques without showing exhaustion, while minor uses caused fatigue in life. The reincarnated are impossible to kill by normal means. Any damage they receive will easily regenerate, be it lost limbs or complete disintegration. Not even killing the summoner gets rid of them.[32] It is also shown even if part of the head of a reincarnated shinobi is destroyed, if enough of the head remains, they are still capable of performing techniques to counter the enemy.

The reincarnated can also have their bodies modified and experimented on. While the technique usually reincarnates one as they were upon death, the reincarnated can also have various points from their life combined to get the best possible results as seen with Madara Uchiha, having been brought back "beyond his prime" despite dying a withered old man. In addition to regaining his physical youth with peak health and combat prowess, he also retained the Wood Release and Rinnegan abilities he had in his old age.[37][38][39] Madara also lost no chakra from using any of his techniques because of the technique, giving him even greater power. In the anime Kabuto also experimented on Blue B who had Gyuki's chakra added to his reincarnated body through cells cultivated from the horn that was broken in the tailed beast's last rampage.[40] Tobi also modified the eyes of the reincarnated jinchūriki to match his own, though this was only due to the use of the Six Paths of Pain technique which caused his eyes to be reflected in theirs,[41] as well as resealing the tailed beasts back into their respective hosts.[42] It also appears that despite gaining many enhancements, the reincarnated shinobi cannot gain full access to the new abilities, unless they are brought back to the world of the living as a living being; like in the case of Madara Uchiha. Similarly, while the reincarnated shinobi can access any abilities from any points of their life if modified for such, should the target be brought back to life, any lost anatomy from life will return as such; for example, Madara losing his eyes once revived since he had transplanted them to Nagato while alive.
Weaknesses and Methods of Countering
 1. Seal away the soul of the reincarnated individual.
 2. Have the summoner end the technique. As they are unlikely to do this voluntarily, using a genjutsu to trick them into cancelling the technique is ideal. The sequence of hand seals for cancelling the technique is Rat → Ox → Monkey → Tiger → Dragon → Boar and saying "release" (解,

We present here our studies concerning the variation of refractive index with the optical gap in amorphous silicon prepared by glow discharge decomposition of silane. The study has been carried out in the light of the models of Penn, Wemple-Didomenico, Ravindra et al., Moss and Bahl-Bhagat. It is essentially seen that the model of Bahl-Bhagat is good enough to explain the relative shifts in the refractive indices in terms of the changes in the gaps on introduction of hydrogen into amorphous silicon. However, because of weaknesses associated with the fitting parameters, we propose here an alternate model which explains fairly well the dependence of the index of refraction on the optical gap. Furthermore, to explain the gradient of the refractive index vs optical gap plots, we see that a simple model like that of Moss would suffice. This is all the more interesting by virtue of the fact that the Moss formula is basically representative of the atomic picture. Of course, the constant depends on conditions during formation of the sample. Under some limiting conditions, the Bahl-Bhagat relation is shown to reduce to the linear form like that of Ravindra et al. We also attempt to analyse qualitatively the dependence of dispersion energy and the average excitation energy on temperature in the light of the Wemple-Didomenico model. The present study has been carried out for samples prepared by glow discharge at different substrate temperatures and with different hydrogen concentrations.

The CIF format only defines layout geometries, so extra features like an abutment box and text are defined with user extensions. Alliance uses an extension coming originally from the company VLSI Technology. Magic uses an extension from Mead and Conway. This is why a script is needed to put an Alliance abutment box into a CIF file written from Magic.
Magic also doesn't understand REF geometries so these too have to be put in with a script.
The CIF files have the diffusion geometries both as separate N and P diffusions and as a single diffusion layer with separate N and P implant layers. The layer definitions can be found in the file

Uncovering Ancient Egyptian Treasures
When The Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu watercolor was accessioned by WAM in 1925, it marked a seminal moment of American excitement and fascination with ancient Egyptian culture and archaeology.
This significant watercolor presents part of a register and column from the mortuary temple complex of Ramses III, located near the West Bank of Luxor, Egypt. The temple was first recorded by Europeans at the turn-of-the-nineteenth-century and later described in detail, capturing the public imagination. Given the ongoing interest in the temple, an initial clearing and excavation began in 1859, continuing for the next 40 years.
Today, the complex remains a significant archaeological site containing more than 7,000 meters of relatively well-preserved reliefs, colossal statues, a hypostyle hall, a columned portico, and evidence of several buildings that once surrounded it.

What's interesting is that images like The Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu often served as souvenirs for foreign travelers. Here, the watercolor highlights the architectural elements and reliefs visible to visitors of the temple. The large columns and heavy geometric design, iconic features of the site, are highlighted via a subtle tilt at the column's base. The perspective places the viewer in the shade beneath the pillars further emphasizing their weight and imposing stature. In addition, the relief in the left panel is in the sharpest focus likely because this panel depicts Ramses III, to whom the site is dedicated.
The Rameses III relief presents two figures facing one another with two small cartouches hovering between their heads. The figure at left is a depiction of the falcon-headed god Ra. In addition to his distinctive falcon-like features, the pharaoh Ra is associated with the noon-day sun, depicted here as a circle above his head. The second figure's proximity to the god indicates his high status, and the cartouche indicates that he is the pharaoh Ramses III. A detail from a relief of Ramses III from the sanctuary of the Temple of Khonsu at Karnak (seen below) further confirms the figure in the Carter watercolor as Ramses III.

The Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu was painted in 1909 by Howard Carter who was best known for his contributions to the 1922 discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb. One of the best-preserved ancient burial sites ever unearthed, it sparked worldwide press coverage and is still considered one of the greatest archaeological finds in modern history.
Carter was born in Britain, the son of the artist Samuel John Carter. Artistic talent ran in his family as he grew up taking art lessons, with three of his ten siblings exhibiting their artwork at the Royal Academy. During his youth, Carter developed his artistic skills copying details of a family friend's Egyptian antiquity collection. At age 17, he grew increasingly involved in Egyptian archaeology by recording and copying Egyptian tomb decorations. In 1905, between excavations, Carter moved to Luxor, Egypt and began working as a freelance draughtsman, painting watercolors for tourists, and serving as a local guide.
The Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu was completed in 1909, the same year Carter began supervising excavations for Lord Carnarvon who served as the primary financial backer for the archeological dig. In 1922, in his proposed final season of work under Lord Carnarvon, that King Tut's tomb was discovered by Carter and his team.
Following the frenzy of the King Tut discovery, Carter became something of a celebrity who lectured across Europe and the United States throughout 1924. The acquisition of Carter's watercolor by WAM in 1925 occurred at the height of public anticipation around the excavations at the King Tut burial site and Carter's popularity. The excavation of the tomb continued for a decade coming to an end in 1932, but it forever left its mark on the world of art history and archaeology.
The Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu will be on display in the Museum's upcoming exhibition on Egyptian art and artifacts, Jewels of the Nile, along with five other watercolors by Carter in the WAM Collection. Jewels of the Nile will be on view June 18, 2022 through January 29, 2023.

Here's the Scoop on How "Kimono Couture" went Virtual
Rachel Parikh, WAM's Assistant Curator of Asian and Middle Eastern Art, reveals the behind-the scenes details about our first virtual exhibition, Kimono Couture: The Beauty of Chiso, for which she was project manager.
As project manager (with very short notice), how did you approach creating this virtual exhibition, essentially shifting from a static to dynamic presentation?
I first met with Vivian Li and Christine Starkman, the co-curators of the exhibition, to discuss what concepts, ideas, and visual elements they wanted to bring to life in a virtual format. We wanted to emphasize the enduring and innovative artistry in creating a kimono at Chiso, the renowned 465-year-old, Kyoto-based kimono house. We decided that it would be best to tell this story through a variety of themes, from the materials used to decorate the kimono, to the collaborative process in its production (Chiso employs nearly 600 artisans!).
I teamed up with an amazing web engineer, Amanda Cheung, and designer, Ian Dickens, to create the exhibition. They intuitively understood what we wanted for the look and feel. Through their thoughtful and striking designs, layouts, and animations, Amanda and Ian masterfully conveyed Chiso's core value: bi hitosuji, which translates to "nothing but beauty".
How was this experience different from curating a physical exhibition?
Obviously, we were not directly working with the objects. While this makes certain aspects of curating a show easier, it does give rise to other challenges, especially from an engagement standpoint. In an in-person exhibition, wall labels are usually supplement to what you are seeing and experiencing, but in a virtual format, you have to lean into story-telling. Thus, we made the virtual exhibition both interactive and animated to not only guide the visitor through an experience that made sense, but to also give them an engaging way to understand and appreciate the subject matter.
Image from Kimono Couture Week 1. Each section of the exhibition
 concludes with a "Featured Kimono" tab for the viewer to learn more
 about the kimono representing that week's theme.
What was the biggest challenge?
This was an unprecedented venture for WAM, so we didn't have anything to compare it to. We had to work through the learning curve, and that involved making sure everyone was on the same page. We were able to learn from the experience and create something that is beautiful, insightful, and inviting. Now, we have a set-up that we can replicate moving forward.
Additionally, because the virtual exhibition was the first of its kind for WAM, another challenge was figuring out how to contextually navigate it. Kimono Couture was intended to be an in-house exhibition. We realized early on that we cannot replace it or replicate an in-person experience, and so we had to shift our thinking and our approach for it to be successful on a virtual platform, which, for example, involved readapting elements, like the flow and content.
Image from Kimono Couture Week 3 discussing the main decorative
 techniques with behind-the-scenes images of the Chiso artisans at work.
What was the thinking behind staggering the exhibition over 10 weeks?
We wanted the exhibition to be immersive for the visitor to get the most out of their experience with the material and to get to know Chiso. We thought that staggering the show over 10 weeks was a great way to achieve this. Each week, the visitor encounters a new theme through a different Chiso kimono. These bite-sized moments allow for one to really understand the material and content. We like the idea of creating a full story over time, in a sense mimicking the long, storied history of Chiso. The concept is also part of the exhibition's overall interactive experience—it invites you to come and be part of a new theme.
One of my favorites is "Decorative Techniques", which features hotspots on a Chiso kimono that explains all the different tie-dyeing techniques used to create the garment. The staggering also provides a personalized experience—you can come visit any time and experience it how you want, whether it's visiting every week, or waiting until all the weeks are revealed and binging it like a Netflix show.

Additionally, the 10 weeks also acts as a countdown to our in-house exhibition, The Kimono in Print: 300 Years of
