Google's latest homepage Doodle celebrates Guillermo Haro, a Mexican astronomer who in 1959 became the first Mexican elected to the Royal Astronomical Society.
Today (March 21) would have been Haro's 105th birthday. He gives his name (along with astronomer George Herbig) to Herbig-Haro objects, glowing arcs and splotches of light that come from baby stars creating shock waves as they blast out high-speed jets of material into surrounding gas. The relatively short-lived objects point the way to the universe's newborn stars. He also discovered bright variable stars called flare stars in the Orion constellation, which can unpredictably boost their brightness for minutes at the time.
"Born in Mexico in 1913, Haro grew up during the Mexican revolution and graduated in philosophy before embarking upon a career in astronomy," Google representatives wrote in a blog post. "Haro's legacy endures to this day through the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics, which he established to support science students in their professional careers. The institute also runs an observatory named after him in the Mexican state of Sonora."

History of Newton
ornate letter in 975, Edric, a thegn of Essex, left land at Newton and Hauxton to his lord, King Edgar. The King promised these lands to Bishop Aethelwold for the newly founded Ely Abbey, but died before the completion of the transaction. Edric's brother Alwold, having the deeds in his possession, seized the Newton land, saying that it was distinct and separate from Hauxton. The monks maintained that the Newton and Hauxton lands were inseparable and there were prolonged disputes. Eventually, Ealdorman Beorhtnoth, who felt he owed a debt to the monks, purchased the land for them. In the reign of King Cnut (_PHONE_), Newton was obliged to supply enough food to support the Abbey for two whole weeks each year - a kind of rent for the land.
In 1086, the manor was called Hauxton; Newton was not separately named in the Domesday Book. The land remained with Ely Abbey throughout the Conquest. When the See of Ely was founded in 1109, the former Abbey estates were divided between the Bishop and the Prior and monks. Hauxton-Newton was given to the Prior and monks. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539, the Dean and Chapter of Ely Cathedral were allowed to have the manor and the lordship was vested in them and nowadays rests with the Church Commissioners. Because the manor farm was in Newton, the name of the manor became Newton-Hauxton. But the earlier church was that of Hauxton, so the joint parish name put Hauxton first. Hauxton must have been the earlier settlement.

There's nothing worse than a hard and unripe avocado ruining your day.
A food tech startup called One Third unveiled a fruit scanner that can detect the ripeness of products at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Using proprietary algorithms, the scanner can interpret the results of a near-infrared laser to determine an avocado's shelf life in real time.
Named for the fact that a third of all food produced worldwide is wasted, the company uses a cloud-based fresh produce scanner system that helps reduce food waste by predicting shelf life.
While the current generation of product scanners can only provide information on laboratory-specific tests such as sugar content and acidity, OneThird's device can tell you about freshness or potential shelf life.
This can reduce food waste in these situations by up to 25 percent on average.
"The astronomical amount of food that is wasted each year is heartbreaking, especially when so much is wasted in affluent countries. We've worked hard to develop technology to help address this ongoing global challenge that directly impacts food insecurity," said Marco Snikkers, CEO and Founder of OneThird.
"We are proud to have developed the first product that accurately and objectively predicts the shelf life of fresh produce. Interest has been overwhelming and we want to accelerate the global deployment of our technology'
The company manufactures two variants of the system, one for the end user in the product aisle and another for growers in the supply chain.

Crepe paper Easter egg dye recipe
Get your kids into the Easter spirit fast with this super-easy crepe paper Easter egg dye recipe. The brighter the colour of crepe paper you choose - the more fun the colour of the egg! This recipe is also a great kids Easter craft to keep them busy over the Easter holidays.
- Different colour crepe paper
- Hot water
- Small bowls or cups
- Slotted spoon
- Cooking oil
- Soft cloth
Soak crepe paper in hot water in individual bowls or cups for each colour.
Add eggs and allow to sit in water until he desired colour is achieved.
Remove with slotted spoon and allow to dry.
Polish with small amount of cooking oil and soft cloth.
- Also try making Easter egg dyes with natural ingredients.
- Dyeing eggs naturally is as much a science experiment for the kids as an art and craft activity. By experimenting with different foods, you can create a rainbow of colours with which to dye your Easter eggs.
- Hardboil your eggs first, and the kids can draw on the eggs with crayons before you dye them. The patterns will appear once they are coloured.
- If you want to keep your dyed eggs for a long time, you will need to blow out the contents of the egg. This can be tricky, so perhaps it's easier to simply make a basket full of colourful, hard-boiled eggs that will last as long as the chocolate stash from the Easter bunny.
- Thanks to our sister company Kidspot Australia, for creating the instructional video.

Dynamic system settings for SOAP integrations
Updated on April 6, 2022
Pega Platform provides dynamic system settings that you can use to modify SOAP integrations in your system. For example, you can modify the time and number of idle HTTP connections if a high system load negatively affects the performance of SOAP connectors.
For more information about updating dynamic system settings, see Editing a dynamic system setting.
The following table provides the dynamic system settings that you can configure for your SOAP integration:
SOAP integration settings
Owning rulesetNamePurposeValue typeDefault value
Pega-IntegrationEngineAxis2_IdleTimeoutLimits the amount of time that the system holds idle HTTP connections in the requestor-level connection pool before evicting or closing the connections.
Consider changing this value if periods of high system load negatively affect the SOAP connector performance.
Integer (milliseconds)180000
Pega-IntegrationEngineAxis2_Max_ConnectionsLimits the total number of idle HTTP connections that the system holds in the requestor-level connection pool.
Consider changing this value if periods of high system load negatively affect the SOAP connector performance.
Integer100
Pega-IntegrationEngineAxis2_Max_HostConnectionsLimits the number of idle HTTP connections to a particular host that the system holds in the requestor-level connection pool.
Consider changing this value if periods of high system load negatively affect the SOAP connector performance.
Integer1000
Pega-IntegrationEngineDisableEpochDateTimePrevents the inclusion of default date values of the _PHONE_ format when mapping empty date values from the clipboard during XML serialization.
When you set this dynamic system setting to true, the system leaves the serialized XML value blank.
Booleanfalse
Pega-IntegrationEngineDisableMustUnderstandHeaderPrevent run-time failures in SOAP connectors that occur when the SOAP response contains a SOAP header that has a mustUnderstand attribute with a value of true or 1.
When you set this dynamic system setting to true, the SOAP connector run time suppresses the third-party code that returns an exception when the mustUnderstand attribute is present.
Booleanfalse
Pega-IntegrationEngineEnableJCIFSEngineEnables the use of the JCIFS open-source library for SOAP or REST connectors that use NTLMv2 authentication.
When you set this dynamic system setting to true, the connector uses the JCIFS library instead of the default Apache library for authenticating the connection.Note: As licensing restrictions prevent the JCIFS library from being distributed with Pega Platform, install the JCIFS library into the Pega classpath as a separate step.
Booleanfalse
Pega-IntegrationEngineEnableRequestOnlyFaultMappingDetects server-side processing failures in SOAP connectors when the configuration uses the Request only option.
When you set this dynamic system settings to true, the connector waits for the service endpoint to return a SOAP fault message in case the request is not successfully processed. By default, the connector does not wait for a response or detect server-side processing failures.
Booleanfalse
Pega-IntegrationEngineHTTPS/AllowAllHostnamesControls the mechanism to temporarily bypass the SSL/TLS security checks, which can be useful during the development of Pega applications that use SOAP or REST connectors.Important: Do not set this dynamic system setting to true in production environments, as it significantly lowers the level of protection from malicious attacks.Booleanfalse
Pega-IntegrationEngineParseXML/DOM/DoNotConvertBooleanValuesDetermines whether to retain the original Boolean value from the source XML when mapping to a TrueFalue property on the clipboard during XML parsing.
When you set this dynamic system setting to true, the TrueFalse property follows the XML source value, which can be any of the following values:
 - true
 - false
 - 1
 - 0
Otherwise, the value set on the clipboard is either true or false.
Booleanfalse
Pega-IntegrationEngineStreamXML/DetectEmptyPropertiesPrevents the inclusion of unwanted element or attribute tags for properties that contain an empty string or empty list value during XML serialization.
The default behavior during XML serialization is to include these tags depending on the presence or absence of the property on the source clipboard page. This behavior can be an unreliable way to determine whether the application has set the property.Note: Changes to this value require a revalidation and resave of all XML Stream rule instances.
Booleanfalse
Pega-IntSvcsXML/RemoveEmptyPropertiesFromPagePrevents the inclusion of unwanted element or attribute tags for properties that contain an empty string or empty list value during XML serialization.
When you set this dynamic system setting to true, the system purges the source page of empty properties before the XML serialization.Note: This setting is an alternative to the StreamXML/DetectEmptyProperties dynamic system setting that does not require you to resave existing XML Stream rules.
Booleanfalse
Pega-IntegrationEngineSwitchToOldAssemblerControls the run-time implementation of Parse XML rules.
Consider changing this value if slow XML parsing negatively affects the performance of the SOAP connector.Note: Changes to this value take effect immediately and do not alter the values that are mapped to the clipboard from the source XML.
Booleanfalse

Former Nansemond Ordnance Depot is in Suffolk, Virginia, at the end of State Route 135 off Interstate 664. The site is on the James River at the mouth of the Nansemond River, six miles across Hampton Roads from Newport News and about 11 miles west of Norfolk.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District manages the formerly-used defense site project at Former Nansemond Ordnance Depot. Project support is also provided by Huntsville District, USACE's Center for Expertise on ordnance-related issues, and Norfolk District for other related efforts.
The original ordnance depot covered about 975 acres. This area has subsequently been divided and ownership has changed, and it is currently occupied by Tidewater Community College, General Electric, Virginia Department of Transportation, and Hampton Roads Sanitation District. Dominion Land owns the property to the southwest, part of which intersects FNOD boundaries. Interstate 664 was constructed in the early 1990s and crosses the eastern part of TCC holdings.
In 1987, Former Nansemond Ordnance Depot became a matter of public concern when a piece of crystalline TNT was found at Tidewater Community College's former Portsmouth campus. This initiated extensive historical research, investigations, testing and removal actions. As a result of these findings, the Environmental Protection Agency placed this site on its National Priorities List in 1999. (Read about the Superfund cleanup process here)
The 1999 NPL listing identified six source areas:
1. James River Beachfront Area
This area was used as a general disposal site during the World War II era. The waste disposed of at the JRB was mainly debris waste, including metal and construction and building debris. Large (greater than 5 feet in diameter) chunks of molten metal were also observed along the eroded bank of the JRB. This area is located on the James River in a portion of the FNOD currently owned by the TCC. This area is now protected by a revetment, which was constructed after the removal activities. Ordnance scrap discoveries included bomb fins, 170-mm projectile shells and a cannonball (none of which were live). A human health and ecological risk assessment of the site is planned to evaluate soils left in place beneath the revetment as well as soils at the bluff and to satisfy CERCLA requirements.
2. TNT Removal Area
This area is approximately two to three acres in size and is located along the north side of College Drive on the TCC campus. The site was used as a
disposal and maintenance area for ordnance related waste, bulk explosives, propellants, small arms ammunition, and scrap metal during the period of 1917 to about 1950. Bulk explosives were removed along with contaminated soil. Some explosive contamination remains in site soils and groundwater. Ordnance clearance continues into 2003. Data collected from the next sampling event will be used along with appropriate historical data to delineate both groundwater and soil contamination. Crystalline TNT located during the ongoing magnetic anomaly investigation will be removed.
3. Main Burning Ground (MBG)
This Area of Concern (AOC) is located on the GE property. Previous uses of the site include the burning and cleaning of ordnance during and after WWI and WWII. Currently, the site area is mostly wooded except for former railroad paths and periodic openings in the tree canopy. Contaminants of concern appear to include both organics and inorganics. There are also unexploded ordnance (UXO) issues associated with the site. A removal action for the ordnance was begun in early 2000. A special issue, which impacts this area, is the presence of both ordnance and HTRW.
4. Horseshoe Pond
Horseshoe Pond is located on the Dominion Lands property, south of the GE plant and west of the Impregnation Kit AOC, and is approximately 1.2 acres in size. The site was previously used as a disposal and burning area for solid waste and ordnance. Because the site is mostly wetlands and in the Chesapeake Bay resource protection area, it is unlikely to be developed. Contaminants of concern appear to include both organics and inorganics. There may also be UXO issues with the site.
5. Impregnation Kit Area (IKA)
IKA is approximately 300 feet in diameter and is located to the south of the GE plant on the Dominion Lands Inc. property. The site was used as a disposal area for WWI impregnation kits and other debris. A final close out report has been completed. The area is intended to be closed out with a No
Further Action Proposed Plan and Record of Decision.
6. Track K Dump (Tire Pile)
The Tire Pile is located on the TCC campus. The site contains abandoned automobile/truck tires and may have been used as a solid waste dump. A
removal action was completed and confirmatory sampling was performed in 2002. A No Further Action Proposed Plan and Record of Decision are planned, provided the Site Screen Planning shows no further site investigation is necessary.
Site screening areas include:
1. The Nansemond River Beach Front
2. Streeter Creek/Lakeview Drive Ground Scars
3. Near and Off-shore Areas
4. GE Pond/Nansemond culvert
5. Tidewater Community College Lake and J-Area lake
6. Marine Corps Power Generation Building
7. Area J Lake and Possible Burning Ground Area
8. Abandoned Wastewater Treatment Plant
9. Tract A & B burning ground
10. Track A – Explosive Magazine Line & Eastern Disposal Area/Pit
11. Tract G – Explosive Magazine Line ground scars and mounding
12. Tract H & I – Explosive Magazine Line ground scars and mounding
13. Tract J – Explosive Magazine Line ground scars and mounding
14. Tract K – Explosive Magazine Line ground scars and mounding
15. Tract K – Explosive Magazine Line landfill
16. PCB transformer removal
17. Steam Heating Plant removal
18. Photo lab basement
19. Suspected Underground Storage Tanks
20. Officer's Pool Chlorine Containers
FNOD consisted of approximately 975 acres, and was acquired by the Department of the Army between 1917 and 1928 by various deeds, easements, permits, and Declarations of Takings. The site has been associated primarily as an Army ammunition depot.
The Nansemond Ordnance Depot originated as Pig Point Ordnance Depot and played an important role in the storage and shipment of various types of munitions during both World War I and World War II.
The Depot was constructed and commissioned the Pig Point Ordnance Depot between November 1917 and December 1918. Constructed in support of the Port of Embarkation in Newport News, the depot functioned as a temporary munitions storage and overseas shipment facility. Between November 1917 and July 1918, a limited number of ammunition storage facilities and a few barracks for a small component of guards were constructed at the Depot. The end of this construction period was marked by the completion of a 4,800-ft pier built to handle overseas shipments.
Between July 1918 and December 1918, construction increased at a rapid pace so that by November 1918, the Constructing Quartermaster had completed the Depot at a cost of about $3.5 million. At the signing of the Armistice, the Depot was able to handle 1,300 tons of ammunition daily.
In March 1919, all enlisted men were to be discharged and replaced by civilians, who were to conduct Depot operations under the direction of a small cadre of officers. However, just prior to the discharge of the enlisted personnel, transports began to arrive from overseas with very large quantities of ammunition to be placed in storage at the Depot. The mission of Pig Point changed in 1919 to add distribution and processing of captured enemy munitions. The Depot received ammunition from overseas, prepared ammunition for storage, transferred ammunition to other locations, and performed other salvage and disposal operations.
Between World War I and World War II, these operations continued on both domestic and captured munitions. In 1929, the name was officially changed to the Nansemond Ordnance Depot. Principal operations included preparation of ammunition and components for permanent storage, painting and marking shells and containers, segregation of certain lots of ammunition, transference of powder charges from fiber to metal containers, salvage of munitions parts, and inspection and disposal of unserviceable ammunition by defusing or burning. Smokeless powder was burned on site as part of demilitarization activities, and ammunition was broken down, with the metal separated out and salvaged. During this period, barges were used to dump unserviceable ammunition at sea.
During the 1920s and 1930s, improvements to the Depot were completed, such as the construction of guard towers and steel water tanks, construction of concrete bomb-proof storage facilities, the building of a renovation and salvage plant, maintenance and the laying of additional railroad track, and the grading of additional roads to and within the Depot. Near the onset of World War II, major renovation projects and new construction commenced, including the demolition of the old pier and the beginnings of construction for a new pier, construction of jetties, hard surfacing of roads, clearance of firebreaks around magazines, and the extension of the railroad to the pier location.
During World War II, while under the jurisdiction of the Ordnance Department, the Depot was instrumental in supporting operations at the Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation. This support included temporary storage and transshipment of all types of ammunition overseas. Toward the end of the war, the mission of the Depot was changed to function as an intermediate and distribution depot and to perform reconditioning of ammunition. It also received captured enemy munitions for processing and further shipment to U.S. military facilities, such as Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland, for technical examination.

Pros and cons of gearing ratios
Pros of gearing ratios
A gearing ratio is a useful measure for the financial institutions that issue loans, because it can be used as a guideline for risk. When an organisation has more debt, there is a higher risk of financial troubles and even bankruptcy.
Gearing ratios are also a convenient way for the company itself to manage its debt levels, predict future cash flow and monitor its leverage.
Cons of gearing ratios
Using a company's gearing ratio to gauge its financial structure does have its limitations. This is because the gearing ratio could reflect a risky financial structure, but not necessarily a poor financial state. While the figure gives some insight into the company's financials, it should always be compared against historical company ratios and competitors' ratios.

What's the difference between AES-CBC and AES-GCM?
Authors list
We recently incorporated AES-GCM encryption as an encryption option for updated installations and default encryption for new installs and we will continue to add this feature in all applications.
AES-GCM is a more secure cipher than AES-CBC, because AES-CBC, operates by XOR'ing (eXclusive OR) each block with the previous block and cannot be written in parallel. This affects performance due to the complex mathematics involved requiring serial encryption. AES-CBC also is vulnerable to padding oracle attacks, which exploit the tendency of block ciphers to add arbitrary values onto the end of the last block in a sequence in order to meet the specified block size.
The Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) of operation (AES-128-GCM), however, operates quite differently. As the name suggests, GCM combines Galois field multiplication with the counter mode of operation for block ciphers. The counter mode of operation is designed to turn block ciphers into stream ciphers, where each block is encrypted with a pseudorandom value from a "keystream". This concept achieves this by using successive values of an incrementing "counter" such that every block is encrypted with a unique value that is unlikely to reoccur. The Galois field multiplication component takes this to the next level by conceptualizing each block as its own finite field for the use of encryption on the basis of the AES standard. Additionally, AES-GCM incorporates the handshake authentication into the cipher natively and, as such, it does not require to handshake.
AES-GCM is written in parallel which means throughput is significantly higher than AES-CBC by lowering encryption overheads. Each block with AES-GCM can be encrypted independently. The AES-GCM mode of operation can actually be carried out in parallel both for encryption and decryption. The additional security that this method provides also allows the VPN to use only a 128-bit key, whereas AES-CBC typically requires a 256-bit key to be considered secure.
CBC ciphers were removed in May of 2021. Information based on this decision can be found here.
You are able to use GCM ciphers (such as aes-128-gcm) on any of our OpenVPN ports. Simply change the cipher, and also add the line 'ncp-disable' to your config file.
Although AES-256-GCM is available, it is costly from a computational standpoint at this time and should be used with other practices and methods to ensure enhanced security and privacy.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyPool frogs emerge from hibernation in spring, at a date depending on the weather conditions. They spend the first few weeks basking in the sun. Around mid-May, breeding begins, with the males croaking loudly by day and night. Females lay 2 or 3 clumps of spawn in the male chorusing area. The tadpoles feed on algae and detritus, and metamorphosis (when the tadpoles emerge as froglets) occurs from August-September. Pool frogs mature after 2-3 years. The adults feed on invertebrates, and take some flying insects by snapping at them as they fly past.

The mortality in the ICU for pediatric HSCT recipients remains high. Early pulmonary complications continue to be an obstacle to the survival. We hypothesize OI is a predictor for mortality in critically ill pediatric HSCT recipients. Retrospective review of pediatric HSCT recipients between 2002 and 2010 who required intensive care during the same hospital admission as their transplant. Twenty-eight patients accounted for 31 ICU admissions. Twenty-six (84%) admissions required mechanical ventilation. Ten (38%) mechanically ventilated admissions were placed on HFOV. Mortality of those mechanically ventilated was 70%. An OI ≥ 20 at any point during ventilation was associated with 94% mortality, while an OI ≥ 25 had 100% mortality. There was a significant association between maximum OI at any point during mechanical ventilation and ICU mortality, with the odds of dying increasing by 13% for each unit increase of max OI (OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.01-1.26, p = 0.03). An OI of 20 had a sensitivity of 0.89 and specificity of 0.83 for predicting mortality. OI has a strong association with ICU mortality among pediatric stem cell recipients.

China says no cover-ups using state secrecy as excuse
Updated February 04, 2014 11:02:01
China has unveiled new rules telling officials not to cover up what should be publicly available information using the excuse it is a state secret.
State media said the new mandate, due to come into force on March 1, was a move towards greater government transparency.
Government departments "must not define as a state secret information which by law ought to be public", the official Xinhua news agency said on Sunday.
The rules also state that "the scope of what is secret should be adjusted in a timely manner according to changes in the situation".
Officials who discover that state secrets have been compromised will have to report the problem within 24 hours and will be punished if they cover up the leak or fail to report it.
But the rules offer no explanation for what public information will be covered that cannot be called a state secret.
China has notoriously vague state secret laws, covering everything from the number of people executed every year to industry databases and even pollution figures.
Information can also be retroactively labelled a state secret.
The issue received international attention in 2009 when an Australian citizen and three Chinese colleagues working for mining giant Rio Tinto were detained for stealing state secrets during the course of tense iron ore negotiations.
The government has come under pressure from its own people to be more open, especially on sensitive issues like the environment, which have no obvious implications for national security.
Chinese officials, particularly at the local level, often seek to invoke secrecy laws to prevent embarrassing problems that could lead to punishment, such as police brutality or pollution, from being reported to more senior officials.

The smallest AI chip in the world called Mipy chip is here. The makers of the chip claim that Mipy is not only the smallest but also the lowest in cost available in the AI chip market.
Developed by the collaboration of a team of Taiwanese researchers from the National Taiwan Normal University and an IC design house 'AVSdsp,' this chip has a production cost as low as $1 — yep, you read it right!
This chip has a deep-learning image-recognition AI circuitry incorporated in it that can be used in various large-quantity applications such as home, advertising, education, car, police, security, industrial and toy products.
According to the developers, Mipy is a cooperative integrated circuit that manufacturers can place alongside the main controller chip. It can also be built into any printed circuit board very easily if it has a primary audio-video processing function.
AI-capable chips are the future and will be implemented in pretty much every device in the coming years. All the biggest tech players have already embraced the AI revolution and right from smartphones to self-driving cars, these chips are going to change the way they work now.
Presently, smart speakers like Amazon Echo or Google Home are the cutting edge of artificial intelligence for us, but they mostly rely on network links for their intelligence.
However, that is going change with the inclusion of built-in AI chips that would let them process the voice commands faster and get the tasks done more efficiently. With the production costs getting as low as one dollar for an AI chip, the floodgates for AI-based devices are going to open real soon.

Using Database User Authentication
The configuration of the 'securityDatabase' Data Source above is not shown but it is just like Spring database configuration.
The queries that Spring Security uses by default are:
SELECT username, password, enabled FROM users WHERE username = ?
SELECT username, authority FROM authorities WHERE username = ?
The default statements above assume a database schema similar to:
CREATE TABLE USERS (
USERNAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
PASSWORD VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
ENABLED SMALLINT,
PRIMARY KEY (USERNAME)
);
CREATE TABLE AUTHORITIES (
USERNAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
AUTHORITY VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (USERNAME) REFERENCES USERS
);
Notice in the custom queries defined in the slide the 'enabled' part of the query is mapped as 'true' since it is assumed the table referenced does not have this column but Spring Security expects it. If the table does have some column similar to 'enabled' it should map to a boolean type (like a '1' for enabled and '0' for disabled).
The custom queries above would work with a database schema of:
CREATE TABLE MEMBER (
ID BIGINT NOT NULL,
USERNAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
PASSWORD VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,

);
CREATE TABLE MEMBER_ROLE (

1.10 LDAP Authentication
It is common to have an LDAP server that stores user data for an entire organization. The first step in using this with Spring Security is to configure how Spring Security will connect to the LDAP server with the ldapAuthentication builder.
auth.ldapAuthentication()
.contextSource()
.url("ldap://localhost").port(389)
.managerDn("cn=Directory Admin")
.managerPassword("ldap");
You can also use a "embedded" LDAP server in a test environment by not providing the 'url' attribute and instead providing ldif files to load
auth.ldapAuthentication()
.contextSource()
.url("ldap://localhost").port(389)
.managerDn("cn=Directory Admin")
.managerPassword("ldap");
LDAP Authentication
The 'manager-dn' and 'manager-password' attributes of <ldap-server> are used for how to authenticate against the LDAP server to query user details. If using the embedded LDAP server the default for the 'root' will be "dc=springframework,dc=org" if you do not supply a value.
In order to configure Spring Security there are a number of attributes related to LDAP that have various defaults that may affect how your LDAP configuration behaves. This slide is meant to simply introduce the feature. One step you should take when attempting to use Spring Security with LDAP is to avoid configuring everything at once. Start with an embedded list of users to test the other configuration settings and then switch to using LDAP. Also try using the embedded LDAP server with an ldif file exported from your LDAP server with a few sample users.
1.11 What is Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)?
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard that allows identity providers (IdP) to pass authorization credentials to service providers (SP). It's a security protocol similar to OpenId, OAuth, Kerberos etc. SAML is the link between the authentication of a user's identity and the authorization to use a service. SAML adoption allows IT shops to use software as a service (SaaS) solutions while maintaining a secure federated identity management system. SAML enables Single-Sign On (SSO), which means users can log in once, and those same credentials can be reused to log into other service providers.
1.12 What is a SAML Provider?
A SAML provider is a system that helps a user access a service they need. There are two primary types of SAML providers, service provider, and identity provider. A service provider needs the authentication from the identity provider to grant authorization to the user. An identity provider performs the authentication that the end user is who they say they are and sends that data to the service provider along with the user's access rights for the service. Microsoft Active Directory or Azure are common identity providers. Salesforce and other CRM solutions are usually service providers, in that they depend on an identity provider for user authentication.
1.13 Spring SAML2.0 Web SSO Authentication
This diagram from wikipedia explains how SAML works:

Pic
Pic source- CC BY-SA 3.0, Link
1. User hits the Service Provider URL Service provider discovers the IDP to contact for authentication
2. Service provider redirects to the corresponding IDP
3. User hits the IDP and identifies the user
4. IDP redirects to the Login form
5. Redirect to Service provider Assertion consumer URL (the URL in Service provider that accepts SAML assertion)
6. SP initiates redirect to target resource
7. Browser requests for the target resource
8. Service provider responds with the requested resource
1.14 Setting Up an SSO Provider
For SAML authentication to work we need an identity provider (IdP). There are various providers, such as Active Directory, Azure, AWS, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Onelogin, etc. Obtain the domain name and fully qualified domain name of the Active Directory server. To enable SSO on Active Directory, the following steps are typically performed:
 - Ensure that LDAP is configured on the Active Directory (AD) server.
 - From the AD Server, run ldp.
 - From the Connections menu, click Connect, and configure Server name, port, and select SSL option.
 - When the LDAP is properly configured, the external domain server details are displayed in the LDP window. Otherwise, an error message
 appears indicating that a connection cannot be made using this feature.
 - When the LDAP is properly configured, the external domain server details are displayed in the LDP window. Otherwise, an error message
 appears indicating that a connection cannot be made using this feature.
1.15 Adding SAML Dependencies to a Project
 Here are the dependencies in Gradle
◊ compile group: 'org.springframework.security', name: 'spring-securitycore', version: "4.2.3.RELEASE"
◊ compile group: 'org.springframework.security', name: 'spring-securityweb', version: "4.2.3.RELEASE"
◊ compile group: 'org.springframework.security', name: 'spring-securityconfig', version: "4.2.3.RELEASE"
◊ compile group: 'org.springframework.security.extensions' , name:
'spring-security-saml2-core' , version : "1.0.2.RELEASE"
1.16 Dealing with the State
Microservices are stateless to achieve scalability and high availability. But you need to keep state in order to maintain position in the client-server conversation, reduce chattiness of the conversation by minimizing client-server round trips. State is maintained either within a client-server session or within a cross-session conversation. State may not need to be maintained outside the established session duration and can be expired.
1.17 How Can I Maintain State?
 You have two options. One is to maiintain state on the service's side. You can use a caching solution or durable store. Here, you may want to configure TTL for session / state to be expired (e.g. for abandoned sessions, timed-out sessions, etc.). Other option is to have the client send its state as part of the request, ie. cookies, custom HTTP headers, part of the request URL (query strings), as part of the payload.
1.18 SAML vs. OAuth2
OAuth is a slightly newer standard that was co-developed by Google and Twitter to enable streamlined internet logins. OAuth uses a similar methodology as SAML to share login information. SAML provides more control to enterprises to keep their SSO logins more secure, whereas OAuth is better on mobile and uses JSON. Facebook and Google are two OAuth providers that you might use to log into other internet sites.
1.19 OAuth2 Overview
OAuth is an authorization method to provide access to resources over the HTTP protocol. It can be used for authorization of various applications or manual user access. It is commonly used as a way for internet users to grant websites or applications access to their information on other websites without giving them the passwords. This mechanism is used by companies, such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, and DropBox, to permit the users to share information about their accounts with third party applications or websites. It allows an application

As far as I can tell within an Fourier Transform Spectrometer the spectral information is gained from changing the path length along one arm, this sounds very similar to a michelson interferometer but using two apertures instead of one.
So are there any underlying differences between the two?

You are right, fourier transform spectrometer is just a scanning Michelson interferometer. In spectroscopic applications these are just synonims. Spectral information is a fourier transform of intensity dependence on path length, thus the name. Usually a term wavemeter is used, meaning some interferometric device to measure wavelength, including FTS as well as Fabry–Pérot interferometers.

There are notable examples of computers "proving" results discovered by mathematicians, what about the opposite:
Are there interesting conjectures "discovered" by computers and proved by humans?
Possible example in graph theory is "Some Conjectures of Graffiti.pc (2004-07)," suggested by Joseph O'Rourke in another answer.
The question might not be well defined because "discovered" is controversial.

The starting point of the mathematical theory of solitons for the Korteweg-de Vries equation was the numerical experiment of Kruskal and Zabusky in 1965, showing that solitons of different amplitudes, hence traveling at different speeds, crossed each other and reemerged (almost) undisturbed. I think this is an appropriate example in this thread, since this is an actual new phenomenon, totally unespected, discovered by computer simulation, then rigorously proved and widely generalized to constitute a whole new mathematical theory.

In our paper The numerical measure of a complex matrix (Comm. Pure and Appl. Math.,65 (2012), pp 287--336), T. Gallay and I proved that the restriction to some zones of the numerical density of an $n\times n$ matrix is polynomial of degree at most $n-3$. The only reason why we were led to this result is because of numerical experiments shown some evidence. Does it qualify?
Later on, we found that this polynomiality is related to the so-called lacunas for hyperbolic differential operators.

This is not precisely a conjecture, but the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam experiment seems to be the first time mathematicians and physicists realized that lack of integrals of motion does not necessarily lead to chaos or ergodicity, thus paving the way for KAM theory.

One problem that perhaps fits in this category is the exact solution of the hard hexagon model by Rodney Baxter. In this case computer calculations revealed surprising patterns which suggested that the model was solvable, but it required someone like Rodney Baxter to first recognise these patterns, and then go ahead and find the solution. A large grey area in the nature of the question is the extent to which the computer "discovered" the solution.
This discovery is described in Ch. 14 of Rodney Baxter's book "Exactly Solved Models in Statistical Mechanics".
There must be other examples of computer discoveries in the field of solvable models in statistical mechanics, as to some extent this is the nature of field. However, to me this example stands out, as to the best of my knowledge there was no a priori expectation that the model was solvable before the computer calculations were performed.

No one has mentioned the case of commutative algebra. The appearance of computer algebra systems allowed researchers in commutative algebra and/or algebraic geometry to generate lots of examples which then lead to conjectures, later proved by hand. Look at this quote from Eisenbud's home page, for instance:
"Ever since the early 70s I've used computers to produce examples in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, and I've developed algorithms to extend the power of computation in this area. I recently joined Mike Stillman and Dan Grayson in the project to (further) develop the Macaulay2 system for symbolic computation. "

Interesting. To what extent generation of conjectures is automated? – joro Mar 26 '12 at 13:21
Ok, maybe this doesn't correspond exactly to what you wrote in the last gray box. It is to a rather primitive extent, since there should be some conjecture already. Then examples may be generated (which would be too lengthy/tedious to compute by hand) that could support or refute the conjecture. – Camilo Sarmiento Mar 26 '12 at 14:41
You seem to be asking about computers formulating conjectures later proved by humans. As one not having had much exposure to the issue, I wonder how to teach a computer (maybe with some form of heuristics?) assessing it has found a plausible conjecture: in this case computer misses the comfort of knowing a result is true for it has proven it's true, while human mathematicians can use instinct or some kind of common sense. However, I found this:

Thanks. I edited the question asking about conjectures. – joro Mar 25 '12 at 10:06
I agree that it may be difficult to program a computer to find conjectures which it can't then prove, but can then be proven by humans. Much easier seems to be to find and prove theorems, or to search for counterexamples to conjectures.
That's why I am thinking at another possibility: explore mathematical constructions using computer programs, and from the observed patterns and regularities, suggest conjectures. So, not the program will be the one which suggest the conjecture, but he human user. Exploring mathematical constructions is done in experimental mathematics. On this Wikipedia page there are some examples of patterns observed when using numerical and graphical simulations, under the titles "Finding serendipitous numerical patterns" and "Visual investigations".

We all know that an electric motor gets hot when it is running. But do you know that the heat coming from the motor poses a big challenge to engineers that design motors? More generally, have you ever wondered how electric machines, e.g. motors or generators are designed?
The heat that comes from a motor or generator during operation can damage the device if the heat is not properly managed. In trying to model heat transfer in electrical machines, electrical engineers have often relied on numerical techniques, which rely on expert knowledge. However, these techniques are general and computer intensive. Today, data-driven modelling techniques are becoming popular in modelling heat transfer in electrical machines.
Engineers that design electrical machines deal with multiple and often competing objectives. The objectives may include maximising efficiency, reducing cost, and many other desirable operational characteristics. An optimal design therefore involves trade-offs between the different objectives in question. Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms, which are a group of algorithms that are inspired by nature, are used in identifying optimal designs. The challenge with the use of these techniques in electric machine design is that the algorithms take long and need significant computing power to evaluate each design to identify the optimal design solutions. Depending on the problem and the number of evaluations required, the process can take weeks or even months to complete.
My PhD research trying to address these two problems: modelling heat transfer in electrical machines and speeding up the optimisation process of electric machine design. The research is part of a collaboration between Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria.
I was awarded a SICSA Saltire Emerging Researcher Scheme grant to undertake a six week research visit at Johannes Kepler University, our collaborating university (from 1 June to 14 July 2022). The purpose of the visit was for me to better understand the domain problem within which my research falls and to build relationships with collaborators. As a computer scientist, we use computing techniques to address real life problems and for one to do a good job, an understanding of the problem is always necessary. This was the basis of the research visit.
At JKU, I was hosted at the Institute of Electrical Machines and Power Electronics (EAL (in German)). EAL is known globally for its research in electrical machines and works closely with the Linz Center of Mechatronics (LCM) a spin-off company from JKU. LCM is one of the world's leading mechatronics centers and the owners of the SyMSpace, one of the most advanced simulation-optimisation frameworks for mechatronic engineering.
Before the visit, I had made some progress in modelling heat transfer using datasets that we had received from collaborators at JKU. Upon arrival, the collaborators spent time explaining the whole process of how motors operate and the challenges caused by heat. They also explained how the data we earlier received was collected and what each attribute meant. To me this was important because I transitioned from just looking at the data as such, to understanding what each data point meant.
During my stay I worked alongside staff and students from EAL and other visiting engineering students from China and Italy. I held regular meetings with my collaborators who provided feedback to the work I was going and answered questions that I had. I was introduced to more research output on the subject matter as I continued to carry out my research in modelling heat transfer. I also worked on additional modelling problems.
I completed my visit on 14th June 2022 and returned to Aberdeen with a good understanding of electrical machines and the domain problem that my research is addressing. I also know the people at JKU that I will continue to work with for the rest of my PhD programme. In the coming weeks to months, we will continue to work together with collaborators at JKU and produce manuscripts for presentation at relevant conferences.
I believe that my visit strengthened collaboration between RGU and JKU in some way and between Scotland and Austria more broadly.
I would like to thank SICSA for awarding me the grant, collaborators at JKU for hosting me, my supervisors at RGU for their support and admin staff at the National Subsea Centre for making the logistical arrangements. Thank you all.

The n+ and n- are the positive and negative element nodes, respectively. The expr is an expression yielding the inductance in henries. This is the partial derivative of flux with respect to branch current, possibly as a function of other circuit variables. The keyword can alse be given as ''inductance'', or may be omitted since this is the default parameter. Note that the expression can depend on the branch current, in which case the device is nonlinear.
The second form allows specification of a polynomial inductance, which will take the form
Inductance = c0 + c1. i + c2. i2...where i is the current flowing through the device from the positive to the negative element nodes. There is no built-in limit to the number of terms.
The optional initial condition is the initial (time-zero) value of inductor current (in amps) that flows from n+, through the inductor, to n-. The initial conditions (if any) apply only when the uic option is specified in transient analysis.


Thermocapillary rupture in falling liquid films at moderate Reynolds numbers

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
Abstract
An experimental study of the flow of a water film over a heated surface for Re = 15-50 was performed. The influence of the development of thermocapillary instability on the wave amplitudes, the deformation of the surface of the liquid film, and the formation of the first stable dry spot on the heater are investigated. It is shown that the interaction of waves with thermocapillary structures can lead to an increase in the critical heat flux corresponding to the rupture of the liquid film, as compared with the data known in the literature.

Nutrition for Improving Your Energy: A Guide for Cancer Survivors
Without question, good nutrition is at the foundation of the cancer recovery process. A lot of my patients and colleagues and friends come in looking for more energy. After treatment and remission, fatigue is something that lingers for a lot of cancer survivors. How do we really assess nutrition in order to be able to focus on building more energy?
In my last post, I shared the Nutrition Model that I use in my work with cancer survivors – it includes looking at our food choice from the lens of being Nourishing, Nurturing and Natural. I have also shared insights about why fad diets are generally not appropriate for cancer survivors, as many people are starting from a depleted state.
In this post, I will shift the focus to how to use nutrition to help recover and rebuild your physical energy, so that you can start thriving again.
Understanding the Basics of Nutrition
There are 2 words you likely hear when people talk about nutrition:
Macronutrients – The "big" nutrients in the food we eat. These include protein, carbohydrates and fats (which can be broken down even further into subcategories, but for today we will keep it simple and focus on these terms). What is important to know about macronutrients is that they provide your body with energy in the form of calories.
Micronutrients – The "small" nutrients in the food we eat. These include vitamins (Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, etc.) and minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium, etc.) Micronutrients don't give us energy directly, but not having enough of a micronutrient can disrupt one of the physiological pathways that allow our body to have mental or physical energy.
When we are talking about rebuilding and recovering energy through nutrition, first and foremost, we need to focus on the macronutrients in our diet. Our foods are made up of a combination of all 3 macronutrients. Some foods are predominantly one or two macronutrients, like meat, which is mostly protein and some fat, or like bread, which is primarily carbohydrates. Whereas, other foods are a combination of all three, like milk and dairy products.
When we are working on creating better balance with nutrition to help with energy levels, the most important thing is to ensure we're eating foods that provide us with the right combination of all three. When we have the right combination of all three at a meal it can help to limit cravings and stabilize blood sugars, which can help us have more consistent energy levels across the day.
A 30 year old woman came to see me to talk about her nutrition. She wanted to cut down on the refined sugars in her diet to support her overall health, but she was having difficulty controlling her sugar cravings. In addition, she was experiencing extreme fatigue. We talked about the impact her food choices were having on her physiologically, the emotional component that was associated with the cravings, but more importantly, we talked about how her low protein intake was impacting her.
Originally, she came to me wanting to follow a vegetarian diet. Plant-based diets can offer a lot of health benefits, but in this young woman's case, it wasn't supporting her best health simply because it wasn't giving her the right balance of macronutrients, primarily in terms of getting enough protein. She had been leaning very heavily on carbs up until that point, because they were easy plant-based choices. As a result of eating a high carbohydrate, low protein diet, her blood sugars were spiking up and down all day long. When this happens, it can make us feel exhausted at certain times of day. When her blood sugars, and her energy dipped, her body would crave sweets, keeping her trapped in this cycle. She wanted to be able to have freedom in her food choices.
In her situation, getting more protein into her meals was key to breaking the cycle.
Timing of meals
In North America, a lot of times we can struggle with timing for foods because we don't always make time for eating. Our meals are often consumed around our work schedule or our other priorities. After cancer remission, a lot of people will start to go back to work and they'll begin struggling with either energy levels because their meal routines are not ideal.
I see this happen with my husband. He starts work at 6:30 in the morning. He has to be up, dressed, get everything ready, including having his coffee and breakfast, before then. By the time he gets home at 5:00 PM at night, has dinner and winds down, he's sometimes eating over a 20 hour period. Timing of when we eat is very important, especially in cancer remission.
There are some newer studies that are highlighting the benefits of fasting for cancer survivors. There is a great long-term study of breast cancer survivors where they were able to show that if people fasted for 13 hours and ate during an 11 hour window, they were able to cut down their cancer recurrence risk by almost 50%. This is a practical strategy that can have a big impact!
Now you may be wondering, "won't I have more food cravings if I don't eat for long periods?" In this particular study the fasting periods were not unreasonably long. Compared to intermittent fasting protocols in the diet world, these fasting windows are shorter. Also, there is some interesting research that suggests that food cravings are more than a result of just physiological deprivation of food to the body. Rather there may be a psychological component or a "conditioned response" to situations of food deprivation that triggers food cravings. When studied, they found that food cravings dissipated over the long-term. As long as the foods you are eating are well balanced and nourishing, short fasting windows like these can offer some long-term health benefits.
Key Takeaways for Rebuilding Your Energy Using Nutrition
Consider the balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats (macronutrients) in your meals if you are experiencing frequent cravings for sweet and sugary foods.
Consider the timing of your meals. Consider your day, when you're the most hungry, when your energy dips, and the flow of your routines, and determine how to best include meals and snacks to give you consistent energy. Make eating well a priority; make sure that you have time for eating.
Nutrition is more than what we eat, but also when we eat. Short windows of fasting have been shown to have some benefit to reducing the risk of cancer recurrence.

Have you ever noticed dark spots or dots on your legs after showering, despite just having shaved them? These are known as "strawberry legs," and they can be difficult to treat and prevent. In this article, we'll discuss what strawberry legs are and how to treat and prevent them for smooth, flawless legs.
Introduction to Strawberry Legs
Strawberry legs are a condition where small, dark spots appear on the skin. The spots are a result of clogged pores and trapped dead skin cells. Strawberry legs can be caused by a number of things, including shaving, tight clothing, and humid weather.
What Causes Strawberry Legs?
There are a few different things that can cause strawberry legs. One common culprit is shaving. Shaving can cause hair follicles to become ingrown, which can lead to dark spots and scarring on the legs. Another possible cause of strawberry legs is clogged pores. When dead skin cells and oil build up in pores, they can become dark and visible on the skin. Excess sun exposure can also cause strawberry legs, as UV rays can darken the skin and damage hair follicles.
How to Prevent and Treat Strawberry Legs
If you're like most women, you want to have smooth, flawless legs. But sometimes, even with the best leg-shaving techniques, you can end up with strawberry legs. Strawberry legs are caused by razor burns or ingrown hairs, and they look like small red bumps on your skin.
There are a few things you can do to prevent and treat strawberry legs. First, make sure you're using a sharp razor when you shave. A dull razor will cause your hair to break instead of cutting it cleanly, which can lead to irritation. Second, try shaving in the direction your hair grows instead of against the grain. This will help prevent ingrown hairs. Finally, be sure to moisturize your skin after shaving to soothe any irritation.
Home Remedies for Strawberry Legs
There are a number of home remedies that can help treat and prevent strawberry legs. Exfoliating the skin on a regular basis is important in order to remove dead skin cells and keep the pores clear. This can be done with a loofah, body scrub, or even just a washcloth. Be sure to moisturize after exfoliating to keep the skin hydrated.
Another home remedy for strawberry legs is to try using a mixture of baking soda and water as a scrub. This will help to exfoliate the skin and improve circulation. For an extra boost, add some lemon juice to the mixture.
If you are prone to razor burn, try using an electric razor instead of a traditional one. This will help to prevent ingrown hairs and irritation. Be sure to shave in the direction of hair growth and use a moisturizing shaving cream or gel.
It is also important to wear sunscreen when exposed to sunlight, as this can help prevent dark spots and uneven skin tone. Choose a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and apply it generously before going outdoors. Reapply every two hours or as needed, especially if you are sweating or swimming
Medical Treatments for Strawberry Legs
There are a few different medical treatments that can be used to treat strawberry legs. These include:
1. Laser therapy: This involves using a laser to target and break down the pigmentation that is causing the darkening of the skin.
2. Microdermabrasion: This is a process of exfoliating the skin with a fine abrasive to remove the dead skin cells that are contributing to the problem.
3. Chemical peel: A chemical peel uses strong chemicals to break down and remove the outer layer of skin, which can help to improve the appearance of strawberry legs.
4. Prescription creams: There are some topical creams that can be prescribed by a doctor which can help to lighten the skin and improve the appearance of strawberry legs.
IPL Hair Removal
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal is a popular hair removal method that uses high-intensity light to target the hair follicles and inhibit hair growth. Many people are concerned that IPL hair removal may cause strawberry legs, however, research suggests that IPL hair removal is unlikely to cause strawberry legs.
One of the main reasons IPL hair removal is not likely to cause strawberry legs is that it does not involve shaving or waxing. Instead, the light energy is delivered directly to the hair follicle, which helps to inhibit hair growth. This means that the hair is not being cut or pulled out at the surface of the skin, which can lead to irritation and ingrown hairs, which are the main causes of strawberry legs.
Another reason IPL hair removal is unlikely to cause strawberry legs is that it is a gentle, non-invasive treatment. Unlike other hair removals methods, such as electrolysis or laser hair removal, IPL does not use heat or chemicals to remove hair. This means that it does not cause injury or irritation to the skin, which is essential for preventing strawberry legs.
Tips and Tricks for Achieving Flawless Skin
There are a few things you can do to help achieve and maintain flawless skin on your legs. Exfoliation is key to keeping your skin smooth and free of blemishes. Use an exfoliating scrub or loofah in the shower 2-3 times per week, focusing on areas that tend to be dry or rough.
In addition to exfoliating, be sure to moisturize your legs daily after showering. This will help hydrate the skin and keep it looking its best. Choose a lotion or cream that contains SPF for added protection from the sun's harmful rays.
Finally, take care of your overall health by eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise. This will not only improve your legs' appearance, but also your overall well-being!

Intermittent Spring
Ebb and Flow Springs - Rhythmic Karst Springs - Potajnice
ebb and flow spring, ebbing and flowing well, tidewell. A spring or flowing well exhibiting periodic variation in volume of flow; the periodicity, which is often irregular, is attributed to siphonic action.

Intermittent Spring refers to a spring that goes dry regularly with a very short frequency, which means minutes, hours or probably days. Such springs pour normally, then the flow decreases until it stops completely and then starts again and returns to full strength after a certain time. The discharge roughly follows a sinusoidal function, whereby frequency and amplitude are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Typical duration for a period, i.e. a complete run, is in the hour range. Actually there are three types of such springs, only one is karst related. The other two are geysers, caused either by heat or by gas like carbon dioxide. However, we are here for the karst springs.
This unusual behaviour is explained by a simple theory: a cavity in the mountain (a cave) has an outlet through a siphon, which is bent upwards, not downwards. The cavity fills up until the siphon is completely full of water. Now the water in the drain branch draws water out of the cave lake until the lake level has dropped to the drain branch and air enters the siphon. The effect stops and the water flows out on both sides of the siphon. Then the cycle starts all over again. The duration depends on the size of the cavity, the height difference in the siphon and the inflow.
According to Bögli (1980) this allows four possible variations:
 - permanent rhythmic springs: the intermittent action continues the whole time but the length of the period changes with the water supply, since this determines the duration until the basin is full.
 - seasonal rhythmic springs:
 - occurring during the rainy season: if the inflow is higher than the possible outflow, the high water level the siphon becomes continually flooded. Such springs are intermittent only at low and mean water levels.
 - occurring during the dry season: if the cave chamber is not watertight and the inflow of water is small the siphon will not be filled. In this case the spring is continually dry during low water levels and becomes intermittent at mean and high water levels.
 - occasionally rhythmic springs: the combination of very high inflow at some times and alternative outflow, which is actually the combination of the last two, results in an intermittent spring only at mean water level. During high water levels it flows continually, during low water levels it is completely dry.
As karst is very responsive to seasonal changes in precipitation, seasonal rhythmic springs are the most common type. In other words, most springs will appear quite normal when you visit them, to see the effect you have to visit at the right time of the year, and the weather should be right too.
The basic principle is quite simple and has many uses. For example, you can use a garden hose to drain water from a barrel or to fetch petrol from a fuel tank. It is also used in washing machines for the fabric softener: as long as the fill quantity is below the limit, the fabric softener remains in the container. However, as soon as it is rinsed by the machine, a small siphon fills up and finally sucks the container empty. And this principle is known for a long time, the oldest use is probably Pythagoras' Cup, if you fill it normally it works well, but if you are greedy and pour too much it will empty and all the wine is gone.
This type of source is so rare that we listed only about half a dozen. According to Gavrilovic (1985) there are only about 30 intermittent springs worldwide, 20 of them in Slovenia. Later the number was estimated 100 worldwide. However, research never stalls and there might be more known by now, for example in southeast Asia which was almost unexplored at that time. We have given some examples, but most are quite unsatisfactory because they are either not freely accessible, the effect only occurs under certain conditions, or has ceased at some point, for example due to mining activity. We therefore only recommend the Fontaine de Fontestorbes, the Intermittent Spring and the source of the Wasserlochklamm.

Utilizing measurements on a lanthano-aluminosilicate core optical fiber, the specific effects of lanthana (La2O3) on the Brillouin characteristics of silica-based oxide glass optical fibers are described. Lanthana is an interesting species to investigate since it possesses a wide transparency window covering the common fiber laser and telecom system wavelengths. As might be expected, it is found that the properties of lanthana are very similar to those of ytterbia (Yb2O3), namely, low acoustic velocity, wide Brillouin spectral width, and a negative photoelastic constant, with the latter two properties affording significant reductions to the Brillouin gain coefficient. However, lanthana possesses thermo-acoustic and strain-acoustic coefficients (acoustic velocity versus temperature or strain, TAC and SAC, respectively) with signs that are opposed to those of ytterbia. The lanthanoaluminosilicate (SAL) fiber utilized in this study is Brillouin-athermal (no dependence of the Brillouin frequency on temperature), but not atensic (is dependent upon the strain), which is believed to be, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of such a glass fiber utilizing a compositional engineering approach.

Quantum ESPRESSO (pw) & phono3py calculation
Quantum espresso package itself has a set of the force constants calculation environment based on DFPT. But the document here explains how to calculate phonon-phonon interaction and related properties using phono3py, i.e., using the finite displacement and supercell approach.
An example for QE (pw) is found in the example-phono3py/Si-QE directory.
To invoke the QE (pw) interface, --qe option has to be always specified:
% phono3py --qe [options] [arguments]
When the file name of the unit cell is different from the default one (see Default unit cell file name), -c option is used to specify the file name. QE (pw) unit cell file parser used in phono3py is the same as that in phonopy. It can read only limited number of keywords that are shown in the phonopy web site (_URL_
 1. Create supercells with displacements
 % phono3py --qe -d --dim="2 2 2" -c Si.in
 In this example, probably 111 different supercells with displacements are created. Supercell files (supercell-xxx.in) are created but they contain only the crystal structures. Calculation setting has to be added before running the calculation.
 2. Run QE (pw) for supercell force calculations
 Let's assume that the calculations have been made in disp-xxx directories with the file names of Si-supercell.in. Then after finishing those calculations, Si-supercell.out may be created in each directory.
 3. Collect forces
 FORCES_FC3 is obtained with --cf3 options collecting the forces on atoms in QE (pw) calculation results:
 % phono3py --qe --cf3 disp-00001/Si-supercell.out disp-00002/Si-supercell.out...
 or in recent bash or zsh:
 % phono3py --qe --cf3 disp-{00001..00111}/Si-supercell.out
 disp_fc3.yaml is used to create FORCES_FC3, therefore it must exist in current directory.
 1. Calculate 3rd and 2nd order force constants
 fc3.hdf5 and fc2.hdf5 files are created by:
 % phono3py --qe --dim="2 2 2" -c Si.in --sym-fc
 2. Calculate lattice thermal conductivity, e.g., by:
 % phono3py --qe --dim="2 2 2" -c Si.in --pa="0 1/2 1/2 1/2 0 1/2 1/2 1/2 0" \
 --mesh="11 11 11" --fc3 --fc2 --br


Quick Answer: Can A Brain Scan Show Mental Illness?
Can MRI scan detect mental illness?
MRIs and related technology are becoming increasingly adept at diagnosing mental illness.
Currently, magnetic resonance imaging can play an important role alongside the observations of physicians and other mental health care professionals..
Can EEG detect mental illness?
Electroencephalography, or EEG, technology that measures brain function could encourage earlier diagnoses of common mental and neurological disorders, including autism, ADHD and dementia, according to findings published in The Neurodiagnostic Journal.
Can a brain scan show ADHD?
Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to identify people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from patients without the condition, according to a new study published in Radiology.
Can a brain scan show bipolar?
Can an EEG detect bipolar disorder?
Generally, routine electroencephalography (EEG) is unnecessary in the evaluation of bipolar disorder, or manic-depressive illness (MDI).
Can an EEG detect anxiety?
Increased communication between the amygdala and hippocampus appear to correlate with symptoms of depression and anxiety, in findings that may have treatment implications, new research suggests.
What does slow brain waves on an EEG mean?
Focal slow wave activity on the EEG is indicative of focal cerebral pathology of the underlying brain region. Slowing may be intermittent or persistent, with more persistent or consistently slower activity generally indicating more severe underlying focal cerebral dysfunction.
Can you see mental illness on a brain scan?
Brain scans alone cannot be used to diagnose a mental disorder, such as autism, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder. In some cases, a brain scan might be used to rule out other medical illnesses, such as a tumor, that could cause symptoms similar to a mental disorder, such as depression.
What can a brain scan detect?
CT scans, which use X-rays to detect brain structures, can show evidence of brain atrophy, strokes and ischemia, changes to the blood vessels, and other problems such as hydrocephalus and subdural hematomas. MRI scans use magnetic fields and focused radio waves to detect hydrogen atoms in tissues within the body.
Will a brain scan show depression?
What is the rarest mental illness?
Can a neurologist detect mental illness?

Philosophy: Guide to Happiness. Epicurus on Happiness
Misty Masse
April 20, 2015
Ever since ancient times human beings have looked to philosophy for the secret of happiness. Epicurus found more knowledge on the pursuit of happiness than any other philosopher out there. Very little of Epicurus has survived over the years, most of his books have been lost over the centuries leaving his suggestions on happiness to be reassembled with few remains of information. Epicurus did believed that we could all find a way to be happy the problem was that everyone was always looking in the wrong place for that happiness. He promised that he could show us how to find happiness and how to live a happy life without feeling guilty for it. Can money solve everything? Can it bring happiness to our lives? Those are the questions Epicurus wanted us to stop and think about before giving suggestions on finding happiness. Epicurus did say that pleasure is the most important thing in life. With the life he lived his was far from pleasurable, but he was happy and content with the simple life he had. Epicurus did not live a luxurious life, he had a simple house, always drank water rather than life and no luxurious or expensive foods. Most people feel that material things will make them happy giving them the impulse for a shopping spree. Epicurus thought he understood the need for our shopping sprees or for spending too much money and that was because we don't really understand what we need and the difference of what we want. Epicurus found ways to achieve happiness without spending money, and the first thing he thought we needed was friends. He took friendship very seriously. He took friendship seriously because he believed friends were a major source of happiness. He stated that to never eat a meal or snack alone, because eating alone is the same as being a lion or a wolf. You should always have a companion when eating. The second thing Epicurus thought was needed to achieve happiness was freedom. In order to achieve freedom, Epicurus thought you needed to be economically independent and financially stable. We must free ourselves from the everyday prison of life and politics. Live a simple life. Epicurus also believed the third way to achieve happiness was an analyze life. He meant that we need to take time off from all the worry and stress we consume on a daily basis and analyze what is causing it. We can diminish the stress and worry if we have time
