The current focus for hygiene research is on the healthcare environment, including personnel, and how it contributes to the transmission of Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAI), a common and mostly preventable patient safety issue. This is due to a pattern of findings within the research that highlight that:
Although it is not yet established how clean surfaces must be in order to prevent the transmission of HAIs1, preliminary research has investigated the levels of contamination and whether implementing various interventions may contribute to a reduction in colony counts after certain time periods.
The most common interventions have been education, monitoring and cleaning intensity. One study found that it would take one additional full time staff member whose role solely focused on high touch surfaces to significantly reduce the rates of MRSA in the hospital setting1.
Whilst research in the area of environmental contamination is relatively new, data has been collated to demonstrate the level of contamination, particularly within hospital settings. Schabrun (2006)2 reports that over 70% of equipment is contaminated whilst Dancer (2014)3 found that screening confirms repeated contamination of items, equipment, and general sites in bed spaces and rooms of infected patients and often throughout multiple clinical areas in a health care institution.
Interestingly, equipment in less critical areas, such as general wards, outpatients, or allied health departments, are less likely to have stringent cleaning protocols, predisposing these departments to carrying larger numbers of microorganisms2.Further, several studies show evidence of the ability for bacteria to survive from days to weeks on inanimate objects (MRSA was found to survive nine weeks)4 underscoring the importance of environmental hygiene in the control of infection and cross-transmission4, 5.
It has also been shown that merely touching a contaminated surface can result in the same frequency of MRSA contamination as touching the infected patient5 reiterating the need for increased measures in protection such as protective barriers and stringency in cleaning protocol.
A 2016 study of Australian hospitals found a great discrepancy between cleaning practices amongst facilities and wards, despite detailed guidelines, leading to subjective standards of cleanliness across facilities6. With varying resources, general standards, protocol adherence and monitoring, it is extremely difficult to establish a baseline against which all facilities can be measured, nor can a general program be easily rolled out to address any issues. There have been several studies which have examined the efficacy of particular interventions.
One such study examined the effectiveness of a trio of strategies such as 'hygiene bundles', ongoing education and stricter monitoring of hygiene protocol; whilst successful short term, replication and maintenance in the "real world" was not sustainable due to inadequate training, skill level of workers, as well as general non-compliance to the prescribed protocol7. Otter et al (2013)8 reported that hospital hand hygiene compliance was significantly more likely following patient contact as opposed to patient environment contact, meaning any transfer of contaminants was likely to persist for longer and play a more significant role in forward transmission of disease.
In terms of effective cleaning measures, 70% alcohol was found to be the most effective agent with up to 80% reduction of contamination2. However, it is unknown how this agent will affect the quality of the equipment and fabrics in the long term. Another major drawback in the use of these cleaning agents, is the gap between the recommended instructions and real life application and use. Adherence to correct cleaning protocol is not closely monitored, and many infection prevention institutions provide 'guidelines' to ensure adherence which primarily use a subjective visibility scale to determine cleanliness. Additionally, it has been established that some illness causing bacteria persist despite more than one cycle of cleaning using hospital grade disinfectant9; 27% of rooms remained contaminated with MRSA following 4 rounds of bleach disinfection. Similarly, 43% of surfaces were contaminated with norovirus RNA after 1 round of bleach disinfection, and 16% of surfaces were contaminated after 2 rounds of bleach disinfection8.
With the use of towels, studies have demonstrated that the more absorbent a towel, the longer a microorganism can survive10. In particular, it was shown that Staph can survive up to three weeks in cotton towels – which are commonly used in therapy clinics and hospitals - despite regular laundering10. It was concluded that normal washing, or laundering of towels – whether done in house or externally, was not enough to remove all viable microorganisms from them10.Read the Australian Hygiene Guidelines 🡢


for many years. The issue for a flight crew is how to mitigate the smoke so that they can safely fly the aircraft. For this thesis, the feasibility of having a Negative Pressure System that utilizes the cabin altitude pressure and outside altitude pressure to remove smoke from a flight deck was studied. Existing procedures for flight crews call for a descent down to a safe level for depressurizing the aircraft before taking further action. This process takes crucial time that is critical to the flight crew's ability to keep aware of the situation. This process involves a flight crews coordination and fast thinking to manually take control of the aircraft; which has become increasing more difficult due to the advancements in aircraft automation. Unfortunately this is the only accepted procedure that is used by a flight crew. Other products merely displace the smoke. This displacement is after the time it takes for the flight crew to set up the smoke displacement unit with no guarantee that a flight crew will be able to see or use all of the aircraft's controls. The Negative Pressure System will work automatically and not only use similar components already found on the aircraft, but work in conjunction with the smoke detection system and pressurization system so smoke removal can begin without having to descend down to a lower altitude. In order for this system to work correctly many factors must be taken into consideration. The size of a flight deck varies from aircraft to aircraft, therefore the ability for the system to efficiently remove smoke from an aircraft is taken into consideration. For the system to be feasible on an aircraft the cost and weight must be taken into consideration as the added fuel consumption due to weight of the system may be the limiting factor for installing such a system on commercial aircraft.

FE simulation based friction coefficient factors for metal forming
Description
The friction condition is an important factor in controlling the compressing process in metalforming. The friction calibration maps (FCM) are widely used in estimating friction factors between the workpiece and die. However, in standard FEA, the friction condition is defined
The friction condition is an important factor in controlling the compressing process in metalforming. The friction calibration maps (FCM) are widely used in estimating friction factors between the workpiece and die. However, in standard FEA, the friction condition is defined by friction coefficient factor (µ), while the FCM is used to a constant shear friction factors (m) to describe the friction condition. The purpose of this research is to find a method to convert the m factor to u factor, so that FEA can be used to simulate ring tests with µ. The research is carried out with FEA and Design of Experiment (DOE). FEA is used to simulate the ring compression test. A 2D quarter model is adopted as geometry model. A bilinear material model is used in nonlinear FEA. After the model is established, validation tests are conducted via the influence of Poisson's ratio on the ring compression test. It is shown that the established FEA model is valid especially if the Poisson's ratio is close to 0.5 in the setting of FEA. Material folding phenomena is present in this model, and µ factors are applied at all surfaces of the ring respectively. It is also found that the reduction ratio of the ring and the slopes of the FCM can be used to describe the deformation of the ring specimen. With the baseline FEA model, some formulas between the deformation parameters, material mechanical properties and µ factors are generated through the statistical analysis to the simulating results of the ring compression test. A method to substitute the m factor with µ factors for particular material by selecting and applying the µ factor in time sequence is found based on these formulas. By converting the m factor into µ factor, the cold forging can be simulated.

Compressible flow through a porous medium: choking at pore scale and its implications
Description
Production from a high pressure gas well at a high production-rate encounters the risk of operating near the choking condition for a compressible flow in porous media. The unbounded gas pressure gradient near the point of choking, which is located
Production from a high pressure gas well at a high production-rate encounters the risk of operating near the choking condition for a compressible flow in porous media. The unbounded gas pressure gradient near the point of choking, which is located near the wellbore, generates an effective tensile stress on the porous rock frame. This tensile stress almost always exceeds the tensile strength of the rock and it causes a tensile failure of the rock, leading to wellbore instability. In a porous rock, not all pores are choked at the same flow rate, and when just one pore is choked, the flow through the entire porous medium should be considered choked as the gas pressure gradient at the point of choking becomes singular. This thesis investigates the choking condition for compressible gas flow in a single microscopic pore. Quasi-one-dimensional analysis and axisymmetric numerical simulations of compressible gas flow in a pore scale varicose tube with a number of bumps are carried out, and the local Mach number and pressure along the tube are computed for the flow near choking condition. The effects of tube length, inlet-to-outlet pressure ratio, the number of bumps and the amplitude of the bumps on the choking condition are obtained. These critical values provide guidance for avoiding the choking condition in practice.

The objective of this thesis was to compare various approaches for classification of the 'good' and 'bad' parts via non-destructive resonance testing methods by collecting and analyzing experimental data in the frequency and time domains. A Laser Scanning Vibrometer was employed to measure vibrations samples in order to determine the spectral characteristics such as natural frequencies and amplitudes. Statistical pattern recognition tools such as Hilbert Huang, Fisher's Discriminant, and Neural Network were used to identify and classify the unknown samples whether they are defective or not. In this work, a Finite Element Analysis software packages (ANSYS 13.0 and NASTRAN NX8.0) was used to obtain estimates of resonance frequencies in 'good' and 'bad' samples. Furthermore, a system identification approach was used to generate Auto-Regressive-Moving Average with exogenous component, Box-Jenkins, and Output Error models from experimental data that can be used for classification

Active and passive precision grip responses to unexpected perturbations

The development of advanced, anthropomorphic artificial hands aims to provide upper extremity amputees with improved functionality for activities of daily living. However, many state-of-the-art hands have a large number of degrees of freedom that can be challenging to control in an intuitive manner. Automated grip responses could be built into artificial hands in order to enhance grasp stability and reduce the cognitive burden on the user. To this end, three studies were conducted to understand how human hands respond, passively and actively, to unexpected perturbations of a grasped object along and about different axes relative to the hand. The first study investigated the effect of magnitude, direction, and axis of rotation on precision grip responses to unexpected rotational perturbations of a grasped object. A robust "catch-up response" (a rapid, pulse-like increase in grip force rate previously reported only for translational perturbations) was observed whose strength scaled with the axis of rotation. Using two haptic robots, we then investigated the effects of grip surface friction, axis, and direction of perturbation on precision grip responses for unexpected translational and rotational perturbations for three different hand-centric axes. A robust catch-up response was observed for all axes and directions for both translational and rotational perturbations. Grip surface friction had no effect on the stereotypical catch-up response. Finally, we characterized the passive properties of the precision grip-object system via robot-imposed impulse perturbations. The hand-centric axis associated with the greatest translational stiffness was different than that for rotational stiffness. This work expands our understanding of the passive and active features of precision grip, a hallmark of human dexterous manipulation. Biological insights such as these could be used to enhance the functionality of artificial hands and the quality of life for upper extremity amputees.

Whilst we are primarily a Bird Club we are also very interested in non-bird records from offshore.
Most of our non-bird records relate to cetaceans - whales, dolphins and porpoises, and insects such as butterflies and moths. We also have records of fish, turtles and bats.
Identifying marine animals is often more difficult than identifying birds and wherever possible a brief sketch/description should be made of what is visible if identification is not certain. E.g. any white areas, shape of dorsal fin etc.
Some useful hints are provided by Caroline Weir, who verifies our marine animal observations. You can improve your identification by being familiar with what is and what isn't common in the North Sea. We have further information on the identification of cetaceans.
We welcome all insect reports - even though many are sent in dead! Butterflies and moths found dead should only be sent in to the Recorder if they cannot be identified offshore.
Initially, a photograph could be emailed to us to assist in identification. Colleagues at Aberdeen University can assist in the identification of specimens sent in or for whichphotographs have been emailed to us.
Occasionally, bats are found offshore - often alive. These cannot be sent onshore without following an established procedure.
Prof. Paul Racey of Aberdeen University has provided guidelines which should be adhered to in the event that a bat is found.
Bat records from offshore have provided useful information on the Nathusius' Pipistrelle - a species found primarily on the European mainland.


How to Play Audio using MediaPlayer using Xamarin in Visual Studio
How to Play Audio using MediaPlayer using Xamarin in Visual Studio
In the previous post (Audio Recording using MediaRecorder using Xamarin in Visual Studio), we have seen how to record an audio. In this post we are going to see how to play audio using Xamarin. The Simplest way to play audio in android is using the inbuilt MediaPlayer class.
Lets create the User interface for the App.
Add a button in the Main.axml file, assign an id (myButton) to the button, so that we can use it in the cs files.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="_URL_
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Button
android:id="@+id/myButton"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/playAudio" />
</LinearLayout>
Now go to MainActivity.cs and do the following.
Create the Click event handler for the button (myButton) and use the MediaPlayer to play audio.
In order to play audio the following steps has to be done in the following order.
 1. Create and instantiate the MediaPlayer
 2. Set the Source for the player by passing the source as parameter for the SetDataSource method.
 3. Initialize the playback by calling the Prepare
 4. Call the Start method to start playing.
Here is a quick visual representation of the steps that you can give a quick look.

The MediaPlayer starts Playing the Audio, if the audio has to be paused, resumed or stop, we can use the following methods.
 1. To pause the Audio use the Pause
 2. To resume the Audio use the Start Which resumes form where the audio has been paused.
 3. To stop the Audio recording use the Stop
 4. Release method can use to release the resources when not needed.
Sample code is provided below.
audio play
when we run the app, we can see the button Play Audio. which plays the audio provided as Data Source.
I hope this post helps in playing the audio using Xamarin.

Earth Law Center's First Initiative in Africa
I'm so excited to tell you that Earth Law Center and the River Ethiope Trust Foundation ("RETFON") just launched an initiative to establish legal rights for the River Ethiope in Nigeria. The River Ethiope would be the first waterway in Africa to gain legal rights recognition. The Ethiope is also Earth Law Center's first initiative in Africa!
So what does rights recognition mean for the Ethiope River?
The Ethiope doesn't get human rights, by the way. It's not going to vote or pay taxes. With rights, the Ethiope gains legal protection from pollution, diversion, and dams. It also means that local communities have the right to sue would-be destroyers of the river in court because they'd be suing on behalf of the river.
More about the Ethiope River
You can find the River Ethiope in the Delta State of Nigeria. It begins in the community of Umuaja, where it emerges from the earth at the base of a giant silk cottonwood tree – a place of worship for adherents to the traditional Olokun and Igbe religions. The river then runs for approximately 70 kilometers (43 miles) and empties into the Atlantic. It is believed to be the deepest inland waterway in Africa.
Local communities rely upon the River Ethiope for drinking, bathing, fishing, medicine, agriculture, and many other purposes. It also supports rich biodiversity. Threats to the river include industrial contamination, oil spills, solid waste disposal, and impacts from a growing population and booming tourism industry – particularly at the river's mysterious source, which is being degraded by overuse.
Other rivers have already gained rights recognition
The River Ethiope seeks to join a growing list of rivers whose rights have already been recognized. In 2017, a treaty between the New Zealand government and M?ori tribe of Whanganui recognized the Whanganui River as a "legal person" possessing rights. Just five days later, the Uttarakhand High Court in India recognized the Ganges (or "Ganga") and Yamuna Rivers and their surrounding ecosystems as rights-bearing entities, although the Supreme Court of India later stayed this decision. Also in 2017, Colombia's Constitutional Court ruled that the Atrato River possesses inherent rights to "protection, conservation, maintenance, and restoration."
But we can't do this alone. For us to truly halt and reverse the destruction of our natural environment, we all need to join in. To paraphrase Buckminster Fuller, on Spaceship Earth, there are no passengers, only crew.

Patricia Beatty's historical novels and her engagement with feminism
In this paper, I place Patricia Beatty's historical novels that feature girl protagonists in the context of the women's movement. I argue that Beatty, a self-identified feminist, writes into her novels a woman-centered history. In so doing, she was writing in the same tradition as women historians in the 1970s, who were challenging the absence of women from traditional historical narratives. In her novels set in the American West, she writes about women's domestic lives, their work, and their move toward independence and suffrage in the nineteenth century. In novels set in the Civil War and Reconstruction, she writes about the displacement of women mill workers in the South. She also addresses issues of prejudice and slavery. An analysis of the texts of Beatty's historical novels and her notes makes visible her attitudes and values toward feminism, which are based on the concept of equality rather than difference. Beatty's contribution to writing in women's history in her novels has largely been unrecognized, but her commitment to valuing the lives of women and the lives of others, who have been subjected to discrimination, cannot be doubted.

Work preferences represent the extent to which an individual derives satisfaction from engaging in different tasks. For example, some people are more satisfied working outdoors, while others are happy to sit at a desk.
Research indicates that job satisfaction is directly influenced by the degree of match between individual vocational preferences and specific job requirements (i.e. job fit).
Hiring people whose work preferences match a job's requirements can significantly:
The Revelian Work Preferences Profile assesses individual work preferences across the following eight areas, encompassing tasks that occur across a broad scope of occupational roles:
People completing the Revelian Work Preferences Profile are asked to indicate their preference for one of two tasks in a series of questions. Analysis across all items is conducted to identify their job preferences.
Each individual's job preferences are compared to a position profile, completed online by a supervisor or the position incumbent, and an overall match classification is calculated. The higher the percentage match, the more likely the individual will 'fit' the requirements of the job and be satisfied at work.

Three shift registers are illustrated above. The outermost moves by discrete jumps, it is in one state for an entire second before jumping into the next state. The middle register moves continously from second to second, occupying fractional second states. The innermost shift register is a quantum shift register.

Jamaican cuisine the Ital way:
Ital cooking is a type of Jamaican cuisine developed by the Rastafarian faith who believed that natural foods, herbs and vegetables are the way to go. Rastafarians doesn't practice the consumption of meat and foods that are produced by synthetic chemicals.
Today Ital cuisine is well sort after in Jamaica and else where throughout the world. Credit must be given to the Rastafarian elders who created dishes to that fit into their beliefs.
At first Rastafarians was ridicule by locals as many people were ignorant to many healthy lifestyles. However, it came to past when these same people are being thoroughly warned by doctors to eat the healthier.
The revelation is that Rastafarians has introduced healthy recipes into the Jamaican cuisine. The no meat, dairy products and chemically produce foods surely has being adopted by many. Eating lots of raw foods was Rastafarian forte. Now we see conventional nutritionists recommending that 75% of ones complete diet should be raw foods.
Past generations had planted lots of fruit trees in Jamaica that continues to produce. They produce naturally without any fertilizer about from what naturally occurs over the years due to break down of organic materials. While many people don't stop to think about it, but they are having nature's best. These produce are marketed elsewhere as organic and fetch higher prices than normal.
Ital cooking brings another dimension in the Jamaican cuisine which makes it truly interesting. As the saying goes that prevention is better than cure, let your food be your medicine. Ital cuisine is just that.

Harold Willmott EARDLEY
Year of Birth: 1891
Place of Birth: Sydney, New South Wales
Date of Enlistment: 17 September 1915
Date and Place of Embarkation: Not applicable
Ship: Not applicable
Unit(s): 5th Depot Battalion
Regimental Number: Not applicable
Died: 1 November 1915
Harold Willmott Eardley was born in Sydney, NSW, in 1891, the second son of Thomas Robert Eardley and Mary Stedham. He also had two sisters. His father was an engineer and they moved north to Cairns after spending time in Charters Towers where Harold attended the Charters Towers State School.
Harold was living in Rockhampton in 1913 and enlisted on 17 September 1915. He gave his age as 24 years 7 months, his occupation a Labourer and named his mother, Mary of Sheridan Street, Cairns as his next of kin. His height was 5 feet 5 1/2 inches, weighed 10 stone 7 pounds with dark complexion, brownish eyes, dark brown hair. His religion was Church of England and his address was Railway Boarding House, Mt Morgan.
At the same time as Harold enlisted, his father, Thomas, was making his own contribution to the war. He organized the making of walking sticks for the wounded soldiers, made form Silky Oak from North Queensland. The sticks were sold for 1/- but all funds were for a double benefit, to be returned for distribution amongst the wounded men here and at the Dardanelles, while the sum realised by their sale went to swell the Patriotic fund, a movement that was set up for the returned soldiers.
Harold never made it overseas. He died in Brisbane General Hospital on 1 November 1915 from pneumonia following measles and is buried in the Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane.

Supporting waste pickers in Brazil's cities: what's needed and what needs to change?
A recent study highlighted the crucial role waste pickers play in three Brazilian cities, but how can their working lives be improved and how can their valuable knowledge be incorporated into city plans for managing waste and meeting climate change targets?
WIEGO, in collaboration with the Urban Institute at the University of Sheffield, led an exploratory climate change mapping with waste pickers across Brazil and with an in-depth look at three cities in Brazil – Manaus (Amazonas), Salvador (Bahia) and Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais). It set out to understand waste pickers' perspectives on climate change, to map impacts on workers' earnings, work routines and health, and to draw in their knowledge and preparedness regarding adaptation and coping strategies.
Support is lacking
Studies of waste pickers usually include some discussion of the lack of support from local and national government. But too few studies have looked at all sources of support.
Our research found that 30% of waste pickers reported they had not received any type of support from the government, civil society or the private sector to help cope with climate events. Of those who recalled receiving support, this primarily came from the private sector (34%), followed by city government (31%) and NGOs (23%).
Regarding the data on city government, 25% cited the support of the institution in general, 12% from civil defence teams and 7% from the Municipal Basic Sanitation Agency. The most common form of support was ad hoc donations from institutions, NGOs or private actors – sometimes in the form of material support such as food baskets or equipment.
Since cooperatives often mediate partnerships, non-organised waste pickers tend to be excluded from support offered by local institutions.
Call to action for city governments
Many interviewees underscored the role city governments could play in strengthening institutional support networks to enable waste pickers' work. In addition, waste pickers emphasised the city government's role in providing a workable legal framework to facilitate inclusive solid waste management policies.
As one male (organised) waste picker from Bahia commented: "City governments should sign contracts with the cooperatives to establish solid waste collection and pay waste pickers for services provided, including for non-organised waste pickers. With solid waste collection, we are reducing public spending given how there is a decrease in waste sent to landfills."
In some cases, city government is also seen as a potential advocate to challenge structural discrimination and racial exploitation.
A female organised waste picker leader from Minas Gerais highlighted this clearly: "[The city] government plays a key role in hiring waste pickers and complying with the National Policy on Solid Waste. For those of us who are black and poor, we don't have access to the means of production. The city government's support is not charity… our challenges have to be addressed in the economic sphere, not only the social one."
Policy and practice interventions urgently needed
Building waste pickers' resilience to the effects of climate change builds resilience for the whole city. Their lived experience and knowledge are already shaping crucial responses to climate change, but building resilience requires concerted actions by a range of stakeholders.
- Invest in systematic monitoring of extreme weather to establish effective early warning systems, in tandem with training in response procedures. These should include emergency measures – as well as self-care and collective-care skills. Local governments and civil society could fund peer-to-peer support programmes for organised and non-organised waste pickers. Cooperatives and other waste picker networks play a key role in facilitating access to information and should be partnered in these initiatives.
- Invest in climate-sensitive workplace infrastructure. Climate change impacts are exacerbated by existing infrastructure and workplace equipment deficits. Waste pickers identified the need for improved drainage systems, flood-resistant storage spaces and improved ventilation, as well as better-designed recycling equipment.
Government funding institutions such as the Pro Catador (a programme to coordinate actions from multiple agencies and channel funds for inclusive recycling) and Caixa Econômica Federal (a Brazilian national bank in charge of urban infrastructure, including solid waste management) could create climate change funding lines for these infrastructural improvements.
Waste pickers, civil society and academia should have direct input into the design of these interventions. Special attention should be paid to supporting the needs of street pickers (autonomous and organised), such as the provision of water fountains and sheltered workspaces.
- Strengthen access to climate-sensitive social protection and services. Local, state and national governments need to plan and coordinate effectively for climate change risk management. As extreme weather events intensify, it is important to consider safety nets (such as emergency cash and food transfers), as well as longer-term support (such as child grants and pensions).
A climate-sensitive social protection system needs to be integrated with early warning and emergency response systems. Climate change impacts on workers' health will require robust health systems capable of integrating climate change-related illnesses and injuries into primary healthcare services.
- Provide waste pickers with information on climate change realities and best practice adaptation strategies. Local governments, academia, civil society and waste pickers would benefit from co-producing material that is easily understood by non-specialists and credible to multiple audiences. This would enable waste pickers to have agency over an issue that directly affects their livelihoods.
- Establish a system of monitoring climate change impacts on waste pickers. The lack of data presents a barrier to a more nuanced understanding of how climate change impacts different groups of waste pickers and their workplaces. An ongoing monitoring system would help map, plan and monitor the effectiveness of adaptations.
Multiple stakeholders could provide expertise in setting up the system – including city government, civil defence teams, local and national environment officials, academia and civil society allies, as well as organised and non-organised waste pickers.
- Commit to institutionalised participatory forums. All levels of government and the private sector need to commit to ongoing, regular dialogue with organised and non-organised waste pickers and other key allies in civil society to plan effectively for climate adaptation solutions. Stakeholders should take advantage of municipal and state waste and citizenship forums, as well as sectoral committees at the national level, to prioritise attention to climate change effects.
- Build ecosystem of support networks. City governments play a key role in facilitating the recognition of waste pickers as service providers, implementing inclusive solid waste management practices, and mediating access to social protection schemes, to create a robust recycling culture. Cities should bring together a range of stakeholders who commit to building an institutional ecosystem of support networks to withstand climate shocks, including for waste pickers.
- Officially acknowledge waste pickers' contributions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The UN Paris Agreement on climate change provides targets for reducing emissions through national, regional and locally determined contributions – providing a roadmap for governments.
Waste pickers' contributions to achieving these targets at city, state and national level need to be modelled and incorporated both into the plans, and when monitoring progress. This is critical for accessing climate finance for waste management interventions in tandem with recognition of waste pickers' needs.
It challenges the prevalent idea that workers in informal employment are an impediment to achieving the agreed targets when in fact the opposite is true.

When hurricanes, wars or other emergencies force authorities to respond, three essentials top their list of must-haves: water, electricity and refrigeration.
In a project funded by the U.S. Army, two University of Florida (UF) engineers, S.A. Sherif and William Lear, successfully tested a combined power-refrigeration system that can provide all three, and with further development, be made small enough to fit inside a military jet or large truck.
Both the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the military now rely on large generators to produce electricity in hazard zones. For cooling, they either haul in ice or electricity-hogging refrigerators. Depending on the location and emergency, imported fresh water may be another major logistical expense and challenge.
Hoping to cut costs and simplify the process, the Army has provided a $750,000 grant to a Florida company funding the research on an alternative. The researchers solution: a small system that ties a novel gas turbine power plant to a heat-operated refrigeration system.
The refrigeration makes the gas turbine more efficient, while also producing cool air and portable water. The turbine can run of conventional fossil fuels, as well as biomass-produced fuels for hydrogen.


Flow banding
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Flow-banded rhyolite in the Dunn Point Formation (Ordovician) exposed near Arisaig, Nova Scotia.
Flow banding at the rim of a peridotite intrusion. Dark and green pyroxenite bands at the bottom represent the melt, brownish lherzolite bands at the top the solid phase. Near Midsund, Norway, 1 euro coin for scale.
Flow banding is a geological term to describe bands or layers that can sometimes be seen in rock that formed from the substance molten rock or magma.[1]
Flow banding is caused by friction of the viscous magma that is in contact with a solid rock interface, usually the wall rock to an intrusive chamber or, if the magma is erupted, the surface of the earth across which the lava is flowing.
The friction and viscosity of the magma causes phenocrysts and xenoliths within the magma or lava to slow down near the interface and become trapped in a viscous layer. This forms laminar flow, which manifests as a banded, streaky appearance.
Flow banding also results from the process of fractional crystallization that occurs by convection if the crystals that are caught in the flow-banded margins are removed from the melt. This can change the composition of the melt in large intrusions, leading to differentiation.
In layered intrusions, flow banding can occur with crystal accumulation, forming pseudo-sedimentary structures.

In descriptive set theory, a tree on a set X is a collection of finite sequences of elements of X such that every prefix of a sequence in the collection also belongs to the collection.
The collection of all finite sequences of elements of a set X is denoted X^{<\omega}. With this notation, a tree is a nonempty subset T of X^{<\omega}, such that if \langle x_0,x_1,\ldots,x_{n-1}\rangle is a sequence of length n in T, and if 0\le m

III)-aqua-ion was determined to be 110 µs. In contrast the complex exhibits a considerably longer lifetime (> 120 µs). Analysis of the time-resolved spectra indicated the formation of a 1:1 complex. At an urea concentration of 1 M the complex is stable till pH 6 but starting at pH 7 the luminescence spectrum changes due to formation of europium(III) hydroxides. Using the factor analysis program SPECFIT the stability constant of the complex log ß110 was determined to be -0.08.
In contrast to europium(III), the luminescence spectrum of curium(III) in aqueous solution shows only one emission peak at 593 nm. Upon complexation with urea the peak is red-shifted to 598 nm and the luminescence intensity decreases. The lifetime of the curium(III)-aqua-ion was determined to be 68 µs but the lifetime of the complex is considerably longer (> 75 µs). Analysis of the time-resolved spectra indicated the formation of a 1:1 complex. At an urea concentration of 1.5 M the complex is already formed at pH 1 and till pH 5 the luminescence spectra are identical. Starting at pH 6 the luminescence intensity decreases significantly due to the formation of curium(III) hydroxides. Using the factor analysis program SPECFIT the single spectra of the different species were calculated and the stability constant of the complex log ß110 was determined to be between -0.8 and -0.9.
Comparing the complexation of urea with europium(III) and curium(III), it seems that the latter is complexed inferior to the first one although it is obvious that both form very weak complexes. This can be explained with the structure of urea in aqueous solution over the whole pH range investigated in this study. The results obtained indicate that urea unlikely plays a role in heavy metal binding in urine and that other substances will have greater complexing potential.

Helical magnetorotational instability in a liquid metal experiment with reduced Ekman pumping
Stefani, F.; Gerbeth, G.; Gundrum, T.; Szklarski, J.; Rüdiger, G.; Hollerbach, R.
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) is one of the most promising candidates to explain turbulence and angular momentum transport in accretion disks which is essential to understand the mass accumulation of stars and black holes. Only recently, a possible connection of MRI with the dynamo process in the Earth's core was discussed. We study a special type of MRI in a Taylor-Couette experiment with the liquid metal alloy GaInSn under the influence of a helical magnetic field (Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 184502; Astrophys. J. 649, L145-L147; New J. Phys. 9, 295). This helical MRI sets in at Reynolds numbers of the order 1000 and Hartmann numbers of the order 10, quite in contrast to the standard MRI with an purely axial magnetic field which would require much larger values. Particular focus is laid on recent results of a modified experiment with strongly reduced Ekman pumping at the endplates in which sharper transitions between stable and unstable regimes are observed.

Stochastic resonance in a noise triggered relaxation oscillation model of Earth's magnetic field reversals
Stefani, F.; Fischer, M.; Gerbeth, G.; Günther, U.; Sorriso-Valvo, L.
One of the most interesting features of Earth's magnetic field reversals is their pronounced asymmetry, including a slow dipole decay and a fast recreation of the reversed dipole. This asymmetry indicates a possible connection with relaxation oscillations as they were early studied by van der Pol. A simple mean-field dynamo model (Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 (2005), 184506) is analysed with view on this similarity, and a comparison of the time series and the phase space trajectories with those of paleomagnetic measurements is carried out. For the case of highly supercritical dynamos a very good agreement with the paleomagnetic data is achieved (Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 143 (2006), 828; Geophys. Astrophys. Fluid Dyn. 101 (2007), 227). Deviations of both numerical and paleomagnetic reversal sequences from Poisson statistics are touched upon (Phys. Earth Planet. Inter. 164 (2007), 197). The observed clustering property of reversals is interpreted as a feature of ''punctuated equilibrium'' which is, in turn, typical for metastable systems. We show that both metastability and the relaxation oscillation character have their common root in the typical spectral behaviour of the non-selfadjoint dynamo operator. In addition, we try to constrain the most essential parameters of the dynamo model by the typical time scale of individual reversals, the clustering characteristics, and the stochastic resonance phenomenon (_URL_.3932). The latter was recently shown to appear with a time period typical for the Milankovitch cycle of the Earth's orbit eccentricity.

Optical contrast in ion-implanted amorphous silicon carbide nanostructures
Takahashi, S.; Dawson, P.; Zayats, A. V.; Bischoff, L.; Angelov, O.; Dimova-Malinovska, D.; Tsvetkova, T.; Townsend, P. D.
Topographic and optical contrasts formed by Ga+ ion irradiation of thin films of amorphous silicon carbide have been investigated with scanning near-field optical microscopy. The influence of ion-irradiation dose has been studied in a pattern of sub-micrometre stripes. While the film thickness decreases monotonically with ion dose, the optical contrast rapidly increases to a maximum value and then decreases gradually. The results are discussed in terms of the competition between the effects of ion implantation and surface milling by the ion beam. The observed effects are important for uses of amorphous silicon carbide thin films as permanent archives in optical data storage applications.

Thermodynamical Data of uranyl carbonate complexes from Absorption Spectroscopy
Götz, C.; Geipel, G.; Bernhard, G.
Aqueous uranyl carbonate complexes play an important role in the hydrogeology of uranium mining areas and nuclear waste disposals. Many publications are available for the stability of uranyl carbonate complexes, but thermodynamical data like the enthalpy or entropy are rare. We determined thermodynamical data from spectroscopic studies for the uranyl carbonate complex UO2(CO3)34- in the temperature range from 5°C to 70°C. We found for the reaction enthalpy the value 36.25 ± 4.31 kJ/mol and for the reaction entropy a value of 297.082 ± 13.839 J/(K∙mol).

Fabric and Micro-morphological Characteristics Study of different Rainfall Intensities Impact on Soil
Rain can break down soil aggregates and lead to formation of structural crusts, which effect on seed germination
and soil water infiltration. In this research work, the impact of different rain intensities on micromorphological
characteristics was studied. Experiments for simulating rainfall-runoff were carried out in different rain intensities (20, 37
and 47 mm/hour) on five soil samples with different physical and chemical properties and after the exit of gravitational
water, the undisturbed soil samples were prepared by Kubina boxes. Then the soil samples thin sections were provided and
studied with polarized microscope. Micromorphological characteristics of upper and lower parts of the crust were studied
under different rain intensities with Image Tool3. Results indicated the main changes in upper and lower parts of crusts by
different rainfall intensities and down ward movement of particles caused clay accumulation in 1.5 to3cm of crusts. Also
intensity of 47 mm/hours produced a strong suspension and a Hallo pedofuture formation around the sand particles and Tuff.
The classification of each slide, in two upper and lower parts with 0-1.5cm and1.5-3cm thicknesses, implied the existence of
structural and void shape changes in soil fabric. Quantitative comparison and classification of three Voids Ferret Diameter

J(1.34s) and statistical analysis of data variance with five replication in Factorial Split- Split plot design variance analysis of
databy MSTAT-C software indicated that there were significant differences at 5% level between the effect of soil type,
rainfall intensity and Ferret diameter data in upper and lower part of crusts.

Kia Ora Stud
Kia Ora Stud
Until the recent ascendency of 'Arrowfield' under the astute stewardship of John Messara the stud in the area to produce the majority of champion stallions was Kia Ora Stud in the Segenhoe Valley near Aberdeen. During the 20th century Kia Ora stood no fewer than three champion stallions who between them won 10 championships: 10% of the national total during the 100 years. 'Magpie' won twice in 1928 and 1931; 'Midstream' three times in 1948, 1951 and 1952; 'Delville Wood' five successive titles 1953 – 1957 inclusive. Only Widden Stud exceeds this record throughout the 20th century.

1937 – Percy Miller and the Kia Ora Stud
Percy Miller was a successful businessman and a hobby breeder with half a dozen mares. In 1914 he embarked on commercial thoroughbred production and purchased the cattle property Kia-Ora, over the Pages River from the established Segenhoe Stud, just east of Scone. With manager Bert Riddle, Miller set about developing Kia-Ora as a fully operational horse stud and by 1917 was able to offer two yearlings at the Sydney Easter Sales. It was to be the start of a sustained and most remarkable breeding record. In the same year a horse called Magpie ran second in the English 2000 Guineas and eventually came to Australia where he was acquired as a stallion by Percy Miller. Over the next decade Magpie became one of Australia's leading sires producing many feature race winners at Kia-Ora including Windbag, Amounis and Talking. This became the pattern with a succession of successful sires standing at Kia-Ora. Most notable of these were Midstream and Delville Wood who also became premiership winning sires and were responsible for such champions as Shannon, Delta, Hydrogen and Evening Peal.
They were to leave a legacy in a superb brand of brood mares but most remarkable about the record of Kia-Ora was the high percentage of winners that came off the property and the huge numbers, for the times, of well-grown yearlings that were sold off the stud. This peaked with 105 yearlings offered at the 1941 Sydney Easter Sales, while there were 103 catalogued in 1928 and 99 in both 1931 and 1936 for a total of 2,862 yearlings presented for sale between 1917 and 1949. Bert Riddle was the manager through all these years but on his death in 1952, four years after Percy Miller, the stud was scaled back by the family and finally dispersed in 1957. Kia-Ora had a series of owners from then on and amongst the stallions that stood at the farm were Australian champions Gunsynd and Baguette. Despite the numbers of horses bred at Kia-Ora being far less than before the winners kept coming, including top two year old Gretel and Caulfield Guineas victor Sou'wester.
The present owners took over Kia-Ora in 2000 and have re-developed the famous stud farm returning it to its former glory and once again making it home to some of the best bred mares in Australia.


How do you unscrew bike pedals?
At a Glance:
 1. Use a pedal wrench or hex key to unscrew the pedals from the crank arms. Right pedals loosen by turning counter-clockwise, left pedals loosen clockwise.
 2. Apply bike grease to the new pedals and screw them in at an even 90 degree angle.
 3. Screw in until each pedal is fully inserted and tight; then hit the road!
How do you remove pedals without a pedal wrench?
How do you remove old mountain bike pedals?
How do you remove a stubborn pedal?
How do you remove a bike crank without a puller?
How do you remove a Shimano crank without a tool?
Can you remove a bottom bracket without tool?
Almost anything can be taken apart without proper tools, including bottom brackets. it, but it can be done. The right tool for the job(any job) makes life much easier and will lower your frustration level by leaps and bounds.
How do you fix a bike crank?
Why does my bike pedal keeps falling off?
A pedal that falls off is usually a sign that the pedal and the crank arm threads are severely damaged. The pedal should be replaced, but the crank arm threads can be repaired by reaming out the existing threads and tapping in a new "helicoil".
Why is my crank wobbling?
It may just be that it's a one-piece "cartridge" and is rattling around in the frame, or it may be that the unit is "loose bearings" and the bearing caps need to be adjusted. Or there may have been some sort of failure of the bearings.
Can you Rethread a bike crank?
There are many ways that crank threads can become stripped, but by far the most common way is through cross-threading the pedal thread when installing the pedals. Cross-threading a pedal is when you install the pedal on an angle, and the pedal threads cross the crank threads which wrecks the thread on the crank.
How much does it cost to fix a bike pedal?
Cost of Replacing Pedals at a Bike Shop
Pedal installation at professional bike shops ranges but will average around $10.00 for the set. This is a quick and easy procedure, and the price reflects that.
Which crank arm is reverse thread?
Remember, the left pedal spindle is reverse threaded. Turn it clockwise to remove the pedal when facing the crank arm. The right side is normal, so turn it anti-clockwise to loosen it.
How do you fix a stripped thread on a bicycle pedal?
What thread size is a bicycle pedal?
Bicycle pedals are commonly a 9/16″ x 20 threads per inch. The inside diameter of the internal thread (the "nut") must be smaller. Measured in millimeters, the OD of the pedal is typically 14.2mm. For cranks the internal thread is nominally 13mm.
Can you helicoil a bike crank arm?
A properly installed helicoil can be stronger than the original tapped aluminum. The trick is properly installing it, which takes fixturing the crank arm in a drill press or milling machine to drill the hole and guide the tap. If whoever does the work is knowledgeable and equipped to do this, it should be fine.
Are bike pedal threads universal?
Bicycle pedals are not universal. The 9/16" is the near-standard in bike pedals, meaning that the majority of bikes can fit a 9/16" pedal. But since the 9/16" is not the only pedal size available, it can't be truly said that bicycle pedals are universal. Luckily, there is an almost-standard pedal size available.
Are all pedals 15mm?
The flats on almost all modern pedals take a 15mm spanner, though many pedal spanners also have a 9/16-inch jaw for older pedals.

Sujet : Wasserstein Random Forests and Applications in Heterogeneous Treatment Effects
We propose a new family of Random Forests that can be used to estimate conditional distributions and we highlight its applications on the estimation of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects. We first provide a brief introduction on Breiman's original RF. Then, we present a reformulation using some simple equivalence between empirical variances and Wasserstein distance of empirical measures, which heuristically indicates that Breiman's splitting criterion can be used to obtain conditional distribution estimates in both univariate and multivariate cases. Additionally, respecting the samephilosophy of Breiman's construction, we propose some variant splitting criteria that are more dedicated to the conditional distribution estimation problems. Some preliminary theoretical connections will be revealed, along with various numerical experiments. We expect that the same methodology may also inspire more general supervised learning algorithms such as Boosting and Aggregation, to make them suitable for conditional distribution estimation.

Are microwaves distributed unevenly in the oven? Why do manufacturers claim that microwaves with turntables are more effective than microwaves without turntables?
As the microwaves bounce around the inside of the cooking chamber, they tend to interfere with one another. There are usually regions in which the waves that follow various paths almost cancel one another and regions in which the waves reinforce one another. These regions don't cook food equally well. If the microwaves are canceled in one region, cooking will be slow there. If the microwaves reinforce one another in another region, cooking will be fast there. If you simply leave food in one place and try to cook it in the microwaves, the cooking will be uneven. However, if the food is rotated continuously, these good and bad cooking regions will be blurred away so that the food will all cook at about the same speed.

Customizing (Web Script Template) the footer text for a Surf page
Name Customize the footer text for a Surf page via Web Script Template change.
Extension Point Surf Extension Modules
Description This tutorial demonstrates how to customize the page footer Web Script template to add some extra text to the footer. The tutorial walks through how to find the related component and Web Script.
Implementation Steps It is often necessary to customize different parts of a Surf Web Script. This tutorial shows you how to customize the template for a Web Script. The approach looks something like this:
 1. Find the page component that corresponds to the content that should be changed.
 2. Identify the Web Script that is used to deliver the content.
 3. Identify what part of the Web Script need changing to achieve the customization, in this case the template.
 4. Create your customized version of the {web script id}.get.[html|json|..].ftl file.
 5. Use a Surf Extension module to define the Web Script override.
Related Information This tutorial assumes that you are familiar with the Spring Surf development framework. If you are new to it then read up on it here before starting this tutorial. If you have not already done so you should also review the Introducing SurfBug topic as this tool is used in this tutorial.
Source Code Go to code
This tutorial assumes that you completed Installing and Configuring software and generated an AIO project.
Tutorial implementation steps:
 1. Add a new Share AMP module called customize-webscript-template-share to the AIO project. Instructions for how to do that can be found here (Note. do not add a Repository AMP).
 2. Identify the Web Script that delivers the content that should be customized.
 For this we use the SurfBug tool. Once the tool is activated (from http://localhost:8080/share/page/surfBugStatus) we can identify the Web Script as follows:
 Here we have scrolled to the bottom of the Dashboard page where the footer is located. Then we have clicked on the last component enclosed in red lines and representing the footer. This brings up the above black box that contains information about what Web Script that is delivering the content for the footer component (and then also the controller). In this case it is the footer.get.* Web Script in package org.alfresco.components.footer that we need to target. You can also identify the Web Script via the url (i.e. /components/footer).
 3. In the new Share AMP project create a new Web Script override package org.alfresco.tutorials.customization.footer.template.
 The directory path that needs to be created is: all-in-one/customize-webscript-template-share/src/main/amp/config/alfresco/web-extension/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/tutorials/customization/footer/template.
 We can choose any package path we want and then specify it in the Surf Extension Module, we will see this in a bit. However, it is important that we use a package path that will not clash with another Extension Module, deployed by some other AMP.
 For example, if we just used org.alfresco.tutorials.customization.footer and then another AMP was deployed with some other customization to the footer, using the same package path. Then if one extension module is undeployed its customizations will still be picked up if the other module is active. This is because both modules are using the same package path.
 4. Add our customization of the Web Script template file in a file named footer.get.html.ftl located in the /tutorials/customization/footer/template directory:
 <@markup id="additional-footer" target="html" action="before" scope="global">

 Additional Footer!

 </@markup>
 This template will be processed after the out-of-the-box footer template. What we are doing here is just telling the template engine that we want to insert some extra footer content before the out-of-the-box footer content. The location of the new footer content is determined by the action attribute, which we set to before to get our additional footer text displayed above the original footer text. Specifically it is displayed above the markup section tagged with the html id, which we specify with the target attribute.
 You can find out the available markup sections by looking in the original template file, which in this case is tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/footer/footer.get.html.ftl:
 <@markup id="css" >
 <#-- CSS Dependencies -->
 <@link href="${url.context}/res/modules/about-share.css" group="footer"/>
 <@link href="${url.context}/res/components/footer/footer.css" group="footer"/>
 </@>

 <@markup id="js">
 <@script src="${url.context}/res/modules/about-share.js" group="footer"/>
 </@>

 <@markup id="widgets">
 <@createWidgets/>
 </@>

 <@markup id="html">
 <@uniqueIdDiv>
 <#assign fc=config.scoped["Edition"]["footer"]>

 <#if licenseHolder != "" && licenseHolder != "UNKNOWN">
 ${msg("label.licensedTo")} ${licenseHolder}

 </#if>
 ${msg(fc.getChildValue("label")!"label.copyright")}

 </@>
 </@>
 In most cases there is only one markup section for additional HTML and it is called html. You can also see markup sections for css, js, and widgets, which can be used to inject for example additional JavaScript and Stylesheet files.
 5. Add a new Surf Extension Modules file called customize-webscript-template-extension-modules.xml to the all-in-one/customize-webscript-template-share/src/main/amp/config/alfresco/web-extension/site-data/extensions directory (note. it is important to give this file a unique name when several Share AMPs are installed, otherwise the last one wins):
 <extension>
 <modules>
 <module>
 <id>Customize Web Script Template for Footer</id>
 <version>1.0</version>
 <auto-deploy>true</auto-deploy>
 <customizations>
 <customization>
 <targetPackageRoot>org.alfresco.components.footer</targetPackageRoot>
 <sourcePackageRoot>org.alfresco.tutorials.customization.footer.template</sourcePackageRoot>
 </customization>
 </customizations>
 </module>
 </modules>
 </extension>
 This extension module identifies the package with the Web Script that we want to override by setting the targetPackageRoot property. When we have set what Web Script to override we use the sourcePackageRoot property to tell Alfresco where to pick up the customized Web Script files.
 This module will be deployed automatically when the application server is started as we have the auto-deploy property set to true.
 6. The implementation of this sample is now done, build and start the application server as follows:
 /all-in-one$ mvn clean install -Prun
 7. Now, login to Alfresco Share (http://localhost:8080/share) and you will see the additional footer texts at the bottom of the Dashboard page:
 Note: A Surf Extension module like this can be deployed and undeployed during runtime. And this means that an Administrator can control when different customizations should be

It's been my understanding that the gram is a unit of measure of the amount of mass that comprises a body as opposed to weight, because weight is actually a measure of the pull of gravity. Therefore, an item with a measurement of NN grams on earth will still read NN grams on the moon, whose gravitational pull is one-seventh that of the earth. Also, that same object may weight X pounds on earth but will weigh Y pounds on the moon.
The reason I'm asking is that on an automotive forum (where I'm a member) people have been discussing pistons weighing NN grams and their needing to shave some material so the rotating assembly is balanced. When I stated grams are a measure of mass and not weight, well all hell broke loose with some people stating I was wrong and that it didn't matter. Well, if something is to balance then it stands to reason that the amount of material should be consistent for proper operation.
Some cursory searches on the InterWeb Thingy produced links that stated the gram is a measure of weight.
When did this happen? Grams as a unit of mass was drilled into us by two different high school teachers as well as a college instructor.
From Astronomy to Zoology, from Bathyspheres to O'Neill Colonies, the wonders of discovery and invention are on topic here.

Well, grams and its multiples are definitely used as a measure of weight. According to the Wiki page, it measures mass. According to the Wiki page on mass, there is inertial mass and gravitational mass. What this exactly means, I don't know. I'm guessing that for purposes of measurement on the surface of the Earth, there is equivalence.

Prior international datasets have demonstrated equivocal results in the rate of surgical procedures for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD) following the introduction of biologic medications. The first biologic medication licensed for use in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) was infliximab in 1999. The current study examined national trends in intestinal resection for CD in the ROI following the introduction of biologic medications.
The Irish Hospital In-Patient Enquiry database was examined for the period 2000–2010. Cases of CD and relevant surgical interventions were identified using International Classification of Diseases, ninth and tenth editions. Using Irish census data to establish population denominators, trends in population-based procedure rates were examined. Trends were tested for significance with Spearman rank tests.
From 2000 to 2010, there were 11,796 patient admissions with a principal diagnosis of CD. The rates of admission for CD overall (r2 = −0.191, P = 0.574) and for emergencies (r2 = 0.055, P = 0.873) did not change; however, elective admissions reduced (r2 = −0.636, P = 0.035). The mean length of stay reduced (r2 = −0.783, P = 0.004). The rates of small bowel/right colon procedures (r2 = 0.282, P = 0.401) and proctectomy (r2 = −0.209, P = 0.537) did not change. Left colon procedures reduced (r2 = −0.800, P = 0.003) while the rate of total colectomy increased (r2 = 0.718, P = 0.013).
During the decade following the introduction of biologic medications in the ROI, the rate of elective hospitalization and length of stay reduced. However, there has not been a dramatic reduction in the rate of intestinal resection for Crohn's disease at a population level.

from a fixed finish date, the start date is based on the actual time needed to complete each phase. What's wrong with this picture? Because both the start and finish dates are fixed, the schedule cannot expand or contract.
Also, scheduling from the finish date assumes that there is no project buffer, or extra time added to the end of the project, to allow for delays in completion of the project, unless you take that into consideration in selecting the finish date from which to schedule backward.
When you encounter a date field, you can use the built-in pop-up calendar to select a date.
If you change your mind about the date you selected, you can click the area designated Today at the bottom of the calendar to immediately return to today's date. This closes the calendar pop-up. Of course, pressing Esc closes the window entirely, without saving the changes you've made.
Understanding the Current Date and Status Date Text Boxes
The computer's internal clock initially determines the date listed in the Current Date text box. Changing this text box has several implications:
The date determines the location of the dashed (current) date line on the Gantt Chart view time line.
The current date appears in the header of the Project Summary standard report as an As Of date. You also can display the Current Date text box in headers or footers on other reports by typing the appropriate code in the header or footer definition.
You can customize Project to start new tasks based on the current date instead of on the project's start date. You do so by selecting Tools, Options, selecting the Schedule tab, and changing a setting next to New Tasks: Start on Project Start Date or Start on Current Date.
The Current Date can be used for benchmarking the progress of tasks, but you can use an alternative date for this as well. If you specify a date in the Status Date field in the Project Information dialog box, this is the date Project uses for placing the progress lines in the Gantt Chart view. In addition, if there is a date in the Status Date field, Project uses this date when calculating the Earned Value fields and for tracking purposes in the Update Project dialog box.
To change the Current Date field or enter a date in the Status Date field, select the field and type the date or click the drop-down arrow to select a date from a calendar pop-up.
Understanding the Project Statistics Dialog Box
You use the Statistics button at the bottom of the Project Information dialog box to display the Project Statistics dialog box (see Figure 3.5). You can also display this dialog box by clicking the Project Statistics button on the Tracking toolbar.
Figure 3.5 The Project Statistics dialog box gives a quick summary of the status of a project.
The Project Statistics dialog box displays summary information about a project. You cannot manually change the data in this dialog box; you can only view and print it.
You can use the Project Summary report (in the Overview category) to print out the project statistics. Reports are accessed from the View menu.
The Project Statistics dialog box shows the current, or currently scheduled, values for five project parameters: the start and finish dates and the total duration, work, and cost. If you have saved the baseline copy of the schedule, the baseline values also are displayed, for comparison.
When work is actually performed on the project and progress on tasks is recorded, the information in the Actual row is updated. The percentage complete of the duration and work of the project are shown at the bottom of the dialog box, in the Percent Complete section.
To close the Project Statistics dialog box, click the Close button.
Using the Properties Dialog Box
In the Properties dialog box, you can view and edit a number of options that describe a project. To open the Properties dialog box, choose File, Properties. The Properties dialog box has five tabs; the Summary tab is the default.
You can display information from the fields in the Properties dialog boxespecially fields from the Summary tabin the header or footer area of printed views or reports for a project. See Chapter 13, "Printing Views and Reports," for more information.
The Summary Tab
In the Summary tab of the Properties dialog box (see Figure 3.6), you can supply descriptive information about a project and the people associated with it. You can include the options at the top of the tab (Title, Subject, Author, Manager, and Company) in reports, as header or footer text. The options Category, Keywords, and Comments are useful when you're searching through previously created project files on your hard disk. You can use the Hyperlink Base option to indicate the main address to the hyperlinks you have in your project. This can be a link to another file on your computer or server or a link to a location on the Web.
→ To learn more about linking files to a Web site, see "Publishing Projects on the Web," at _URL_.
Figure 3.6 The Summary tab of the Properties dialog box presents descriptive options that are useful in reports and for searching for files to open.
To change any of the options on the Summary tab, select its text box and type an entry. Press the Tab key after you have finished typing the entry to move to the next option. Except in the Comments list box, pressing the Enter key on this tab selects the OK button and closes the dialog box.
If the newly created project originated from a template, the template name appears at the bottom of the dialog box.
You can select the Save Preview Picture check box to have Project save a thumbnail sketch of the current view when you save the file. You can browse these preview pictures when you search for files by using the File, Open command. The Save Preview Picture check box is not selected by default.
If you have trouble locating files in the future, you can use the Open dialog box to search for words entered in the fields of the Summary tab to find the needed file.
The General Tab
The General tab of the Properties dialog box describes the file that stores the project document. It provides statistics about the project file: the name, type, location, and size of the file, as well as the dates when the file was created, last modified, and last opened. This tab is blank until the document is saved as a file.
The Statistics Tab
The Statistics tab of the Properties dialog box provides useful statistics about your work with the project document, including when it was created, last modified, last accessed, and last printed It also shows who last saved the file, which is useful for shared files in a workgroup. The Statistics tab also shows how many times the document has been revised and the total amount of computer time spent editing the file.
The Contents Tab
The Contents tab of the Properties dialog box displays the most commonly reviewed statistics about the current project schedule: the start and finish dates; the scheduled duration, work, and cost; and the percentage completed for both duration and work. The Contents tab displays summary statistics about the project schedule.
The Custom Tab
With the Custom tab of the Properties dialog box you can add additional properties to a file. Then, you can search for files by the values of these properties. Based on the information in Figure 3.7, for example, you could search for all projects that have Marketing in the Department Value field. The bottom row in the Properties list box shows that a property named Department has been created for this document, with the text value Marketing.
Figure 3.7 The Custom tab of the Properties dialog box allows you to set up custom search parameters.
To create a custom property for a project, follow these steps:
Choose File, Properties.
Choose the Custom tab.
Type a property name in the Name list box. The drop-down list below the Name list box lists commonly used properties. If you want to use one of these, select it.
Use the Type drop-down list to define the type of data to place in the field. You should use this option only when you will type the value of the property instead of linking it to a field in the project file. When you link the property value to a project field, the Type drop-down list is unavailable. The allowable data types are Text, Date, Number, and Yes or No (logical).
If you chose Text, Date, or Number previously, type a value in the Value text box. If you chose the Yes or No option in the Type list box, you see Yes and No buttons in the Value box. Select the one you want to use.
Click the Add button to add the property to the list in the Properties dialog box.
If you want to link a property value to a project field, follow these steps:
Choose File, Properties.
Choose the Custom tab.
Type a property name in the Name list box.
Select the Link to Content check box (refer to Figure 3.7). The Type list box is grayed out, and the Value text box becomes a drop-down list. The name of the text box changes to Source.
In the Source drop-down list box, choose the field that has the value you want the property to reflect.
Click the Add button to add the property to the list in the Properties dialog box.
If you want to delete a custom property, select it in the Properties list and click the Delete button.
If you want to modify the value for a property, select the property name in the Properties list. This places the current name and value in the text boxes at the top of the dialog box. Change the Type or Value fields as needed, and the Add button changes to Modify. If you change the Name field, you have to use the Add button to include it as a new property. You could then use the Delete button to remove the original, leaving the newly named version. Then you could click the Modify button to complete the change.
When you finish the custom properties list

Defect depth quantification using lock-in thermography
Publication Type:Journal Articles
Source:Quantitative InfraRed Thermography Journal, Volume 12, Number 1, p.37–52 (2015)
In this paper we explore the defect evaluation in austenitic stainless steel (SS) using Lock-in technique and the effect of modulation frequency on defect detectability. A review of international literature indicates that while such studies have been attempted on materials like Perspex and composites, studies on austenitic SS like AISI 316, which are widely used in nuclear and other process industries, have been limited. For depth quantification, blind frequency method and phase contrast method have been discussed. The one dimensional analytical modeling proposed by Bennett and Patty has been adopted in blind frequency method. The investigation on the effect of defect size and shape on blind frequency and phase contrast has been carried out. The phase contrast method for depth quantification was found to be appropriate.

Ion exchange with copper-tetraamine on NaA (LTA) type synthesised zeolite
Keywords:Copper, Derivatogram, Ion-exchange, NaA zeolite, Tetraamminecopper(II) sulphate , X-ray diffraction
A crop growing in the right quantity and quality can only be secured if nutrients are provided in an adequate quantity and available form. Copper (Cu) has primary importance among microelements in growing winter wheat. Lack of Cu hinders nitrogen uptake by plants. Therefore, increasing bioavailability is important in crop production. It has been conducted successful foliar fertilisation experiments with Tetraamminecopper(II) sulphate for several years. The efficiency of the applied compound was enhanced by the application of a retarded nutrient-supply. To secure retardation, ion exchange was carried out in NaA type synthesized zeolite with Tetraamminecopper(II) sulphate. Structure of Tetraamminecopper(II) sulphate, and zeolite ion-exchanged by copper-tetraamine was analysed with a derivatograph and X-ray diffraction. Derivatograph analyses revealed heat stability. X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that copper-tetramine ions exchanged a significant part of the sodium ions of zeolite in ion exchange.
