FAQs about the Cardiology Recertification Exam
Here are some common questions that we are asked about taking the Cardiology MOC Exam:
How much does the exam cost?
The cost of the exam is included in a candidate's 10-year MOC program fee. The fee covers one examination for every specialty area a candidate chooses to maintain. The 10-year fee is $1940 for internal medicine, $2060 for internal medicine with a focused practice in hospital medicine, and $2560 for any subspecialty.
How long does the exam last?
The exam lasts one day.
What is the format for the exam?
The exam consists of multiple choice with a single best answer. There are multiple editions, or forms, of the exam, each of which consists of a different set of questions. The questions primarily focus on patient scenarios, while some require interpretation of visual materials. The exam will likely mirror your day to practice as it is meant to be a clinically focused exam.
What does the exam cover?
The exam covers the following topics:
 - Arrhythmias: 13%
 - Congestive Heart Failure: 13%
 - Coronary Artery Disease: 12.5%
 - Acute Coronary Syndromes and Acute Myocardial Infarction: 12%
 - Valvular Disorders: 12%
 - Congenital Disorders: 5%
 - Pericardial Disease: 4%
 - Aorta and Peripheral Vascular Disease: 9%
 - Hypertension and Pulmonary: 7%
 - Physiology and Biochemistry: 6%
 - Pharmacology: 5%
 - Miscellaneous 1.5%
How is the exam scored?
The exam is pass-fail, based on the candidate's performance on the entirety of the test. Questions left unanswered are scored as incorrect, therefore candidates are encouraged to guess if they are unsure of the answer to a question.
How long will it take to receive my results?
Candidates will receive their results in the mail approximately three months after the last exam given in the candidate's testing area.
How should I prepare for the exam?
The American Board of Internal Medicine offers a preparation tutorial for the examination. There are many books on the market to help test takers prepare, such as the bestselling Cardiology Intensive Board Review guide from the Cleveland Clinic. The Cleveland Clinic also hosts an annual symposium each summer to help candidates prepare. You may also prepare by reviewing reference materials or completing a practice self-assessment independently. We suggest taking the Board Vitals Cardiology MOC question set at least once in timed mode.

"Go out into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to all creation," Jesus said. Aid to the Church in Need takes this assignment literally. For instance, since 1979, our organisation has been a publisher and global supplier of the Child's Bible, which has been translated into 193 languages and has already been distributed more than 51.6 million times. Often in poor countries, the Child's Bible is the first book that children receive in their own language; frequently, it is the only picture book that the little ones can get hold of in their entire lives.
In 2022 alone, 1,290,363 religious books were produced and distributed with the help of ACN.
For some children the Bible is the only picture book that they can get hold of.
In addition, Aid to the Church in Need promotes YOUCAT, the illustrated Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is now available in 70 languages. Since 2016, our foundation has also been the publisher of DOCAT, a modern translation of the social teachings and doctrine of the Catholic Church.

Anterior Lumbar Plate System
Fri, 07/13/2007 - 7:42am
The AEGIS™ Anterior Lumbar Plate System treats degenerative conditions of the lumbar spine. With a plate specifically designed to correspond to the lumbar spinal anatomy, this system has the lowest profile of any anterior lumbar plate system and can be implanted mid-line or laterally between any two vertebrae in the lumbar region, including the sacrum (L1-S1). The AEGIS is contoured to recess into the space between two vertebral bodies and features angled tabs (15 degrees) that attach the plate to the cortical rim (anterior edge) of the vertebrae. The plate also uses a patented screw locking mechanism that uses cams instead of screw covers or other means to hold the screws in place. The plate system also has a unique, semi-rigid design that allows for load sharing between the construct and the bone graft, reducing the risk of screw breakage and encouraging fusion.

Poser 8 Revealed: Editing and Posing Figures - Part 2
Scaling and Tapering Elements
The Scale tool (S) changes the size of the element along a single axis, but you can cause the element to be uniformly scaled along all axes at the same time by holding down the Shift key while dragging. The Taper tool (P) is similar to the Scale tool, except it scales only one end of an element leaving the other unchanged. The result of a tapered element is to make the object long and thin or short and fat. Figure 3-19 shows a figure whose chest and collarbones have been scaled.
Although the real place to apply colors and textures to a figure element is in the Material Room, which is covered in Chapter 8, "Creating and Applying Materials," you can place basic flat colors to elements using the Color tool (C). Clicking with this tool on an element causes a pop-up color palette, shown in Figure 3-20, to appear. You can select a color from this pop-up color palette by dragging over the color that you want to select. Clicking a color in the palette closes the pop-up color palette. Figure 3-21 shows a figure with a dark color applied to its body.
The Color tool adds colors to material groups such as Shirt, Pants, Skin Color, and so on, instead of to elements. If you create a new material group, then you can apply color to a specific element. More on material groups is covered in Chapter 8, "Creating and Applying Materials."
Using the View Magnifier Tool
The View Magnifier tool allows you to zoom in on an area without changing the parameters of the current camera. To use it, simply click the area that you want to zoom in on. Each successive click zooms further in on an area. Clicking with the Ctrl key (or Command key on the Mac) held down zooms out. You can also zoom in on a region by dragging over the zoom area with the View Magnifier tool. Figure 3-22 shows a zoomed figure that used the View Magnifier tool.
Using the Direct Manipulation Tool
The Direct Manipulation tool surrounds the selected element with icons that can be used to move, rotate, and scale the selected element, as shown in Figure 3-23. By dragging these controls, you can change the element's position, rotation, and scale in the X, Y, and Z axes. The yellow boxes at each axis let you scale the selected object and the red, green, and blue circles let you rotate about a single axis with red for the X-axis, green for the Y-axis, and blue for the Z-axis. These controls have the same effect as dragging the corresponding parameter dial.
The mouse cursor changes to match the corresponding action when moving it over the top of the various controls for the Direct Manipulation tool.

This piece features a great penetration twin of chabazite, surrounded by chabazite crystals, some of which are also twinned. The chabazite crystals are sharp with good lustre. Upon close examination, one can see a bit of colour-zoning, into almost a honey-golden hue in a couple of places. In excellent condition, no damage to the main crystals, and some incomplete crystals around the periphery where this was attached to surrounding rock.
A great chabazite twin, nicely situated among the accompanying crystals.
About These Red Chabazites From Wasson's Bluff
In one relatively small zone at Wasson's Bluff, the chabazite crystals are a particular dark red hue – more intense and lighter than a brown, and most are a bit deeper and darker than a brick red or deep orange. This zone has produced sporadically over history. Most often, days of very hard work in this area yield absolutely nothing, but a few isolated finds in recent years have produced a small number of excellent pieces – these specimens are from those finds.
In historic times, these particular deep-coloured chabazites from Wasson's Bluff were known as "acadialite", named for Acadia (which is the English for L'Acadie, the colonial-era name for this part of Canada). The name "acadialite" is sometimes still seen on older collection labels, sometimes as a species name and sometimes as a varietal name. Under current nomenclature, these specimens are known as chabazite, with "acadialite" now considered a historical synonym.

LabelIn the early nineteenth century the disciplined and heroic volunteers at Philadelphia's several dozen fire companies wore special hats to identify themselves. Modeled on fashionable stovepipe hats but made in leather to withstand heat and water, these hats were also proudly worn at pumping contests and when marching in parades. Fire companies carefully selected their names and painted symbols; these included Ben Franklin, founder of the first fire company in 1736, evocations of the power of water, and the nobility of the American Indian.


Les Riches Douaniers
Les Riches Douaniers
French group of media artists
Interview: 10 questions
1. Tell me something about your life and the educational background
Les Riches Douaniers is a organisation composed of two artists initially very miscellaneous. Anecdotally, one attended the first international exhibition of video at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels in March 1975, while the other was not born.
2. When, how and why started you filming?
We have teamed up to produce sounded film in 2000 under the name of Les Riches Douaniers.
3. What kind of subjects have your films?
We have always made digital movies, without a camera, sometimes abstract. Our first films were CD-Clips. Today most of our films are machinima to various topics that evoke the problem of the hero: heroes wandering aimlessly, hero who commits suicide, kamikaze, mostly violent heroes, etc …
Initially, the principle has always been to reveal images through listening. In our abstract films, processing of the image was very slow, the music created the awaiting and depicted the progression of images. In our machinima music continues to have a special place. We play on extreme music that we produce by a system that we developed through the study of the sound spectrum. We play on the presence of silences. In one of our machinima films made in 2006, music was performed live.
5. Tell me something about the technical equipment you use.
We need especially high-speed computers, softwares like Photoshop, Premiere, etc., as well as game consoles and video games.
We create only new media kind of film, as we work with digital images into 3D. We work now in HD. We believe that the role of new media is growing constantly in the everyday world of cinema. For example, we have been approached by a festival in the Philippines (Cinemanila), wich used to be a classic movie festival.
7. How do you finance your films?
Sometimes it is commissioned work ( like festival Diése in 2007 in Dijon, for example). Also, at the present time we work for a musician for film on which the people are tell to play music for one hour. But it still exceptions.
We work in partnership, rendering images, and building musics, and sounds. But sometimes we ask singers to help. Since the creation of Les Riches Douaniers we have never worked individually.
As we work from games, they effect us. For example, in our latest film "Kamikaze", the player is climbing on an industrial building, because we found the opportunity to do so by playing. So we work like Godard where such instantaneous inspired him.
We are working on a feature film whose music is performed live by an orchestra. We would have time and money to conduct more full-length high-definition for example through the ZKM in Karlsruhe.

Geographic targeting orders are a tool used by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to detect and prevent money laundering. Geographic targeting orders impose AML requirements on obligated firms, in addition to standard Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) AML/CFT obligations, when they deal with certain transactions over a specified value.
Geographic targeting orders are often used by FinCEN to prevent money laundering on the high-value real estate market. Given their scope, financial institutions in the United States should understand the regulatory requirements that will be imposed upon them under a geographic targeting order and how their AML responsibilities will be affected.
A geographic targeting order (GTO) affects financial institutions within specific areas of the United States, imposing additional record-keeping and reporting requirements for transactions over a certain value. FinCEN issues GTOs under the authority of the BSA (31 USC 310).
Each GTO sets out the areas of the United States in which it is applicable and what types of firms must comply with its record-keeping and reporting obligations. GTOs are issued for a limited period of time. Prior to 2001, GTOs were valid for up to 60 days, but under the US Patriot Act, that limit was extended to 180 days. FinCEN can extend that 180-day period in certain circumstances.
Noncompliance with a GTO may result in both criminal and civil penalties. FinCEN may impose fines of up to $500,000 and seek individual prison sentences of between 5 and 10 years.
Under standard Bank Secrecy Act AML/CFT requirements, firms must submit reports to FinCEN for transactions that exceed $10,000. Under a GTO, FinCEN can set that threshold at any level, mandating reports for any transaction value.
Relevant transactions should be reported to FinCEN within 30 days. Like the standard BSA reporting requirement, GTO transaction reports should be submitted via IRS form 8300 and include the following information:
- The identity of the individual representing the firm, along with identity verification documents such as driver's license or passport.
- The identity of the purchasing individual or entity, or the purchaser's beneficial ownership.
- Transaction details, including the amount transferred, total purchase price and date of closure.
GTOs are often issued to prevent criminals using the real estate market to launder money. In 2019, FinCEN extended a geographic targeting order for high-value real estate transactions in locations across the United States, lowering the transaction reporting threshold to $300,000. The GTO applies to all title insurance companies handling real estate transactions that meet the following criteria:
- The purchaser is a legal entity, defined by the GTO as a corporation, LLC, partnership or similar.
- The transaction is valued at the GTO purchase price threshold, in this case $300,000.
- The purchase is made in cash without a loan or similar external financing.
- The purchase is made, in any part, using currency or check.
The geographic areas in which the GTO applies are:
- The Texas counties of Bexar, Tarrant or Dallas
- The Florida counties of Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach
- The Boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island or Manhattan in New York City, New York
- The California counties of San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Mateo or Santa Clara
- The City and County of Honolulu in Hawaii
- The Nevada county of Clark
- The Washington county of King
- The Massachusetts counties of Suffolk or Middlesex
- The Illinois county of Cook
Firms must understand how GTO requirements will affect them and ensure the order is integrated into existing AML/CFT compliance programs. Under the BSA, firms should already have customer due diligence and transaction monitoring processes in place to identify customers and beneficial owners and should seek to align those objectives with the GTO for efficiency and accuracy. Similarly, AML/CFT teams should understand the details of a GTO and be prepared to ensure ongoing compliance should FinCEN extend the order past its 180-day limit.

Propelling bacteria ease liquid flow
Oct 7, 2009
The combined action of swimming bacteria can reduce the viscosity of a liquid by up to a factor of seven, according to a pair of researchers in the US. This surprising discovery could lead to new microfluidic applications such as extremely well controlled and efficient mixing devices.
Bioscientists and physicists alike are interested in how tiny biological entities such as bacteria and sperm cells can propel themselves. Observations and models have revealed that a variety of non-trivial mechanics may lie at the heart of these propulsion systems. One interesting feature, hinted at by models, is that the viscosity of a liquid – that is, its resistance to flow – could be significantly reduced by the presence of swimming bacteria.
Now, Andrey Sokolov and Igor Aranson of Argonne National Laboratory in the US have tested this theory and confirmed it to be the case – to a much larger extent than anyone had predicted. The researchers carried out two complementary experiments using Bacillus subtilis, the rod-shaped bacteria chosen for its swimming ability. In both cases, the bacteria – which are approximately 5 µm long and 0.7 µm in diameter – were suspended in a nutrient-rich medium to a concentration of approximately 2 × 1010 cm-3.
The researchers found that they could control the mobility of Bacillus subtilis by varying the amount of available oxygen dissolved in the fluid. Therefore, the swimming speed of bacteria was controlled by steadily replacing the air in the experimental chambers with nitrogen, and tracking the bacteria using fluorescent markers. After approximately two minutes, the bacteria had reached a complete standstill.
In the first experiment, the researchers triggered a miniature vortex using a magnetically controlled probe. They then inferred the viscosity of each suspension from the time it took each vortex to decay. In the second experiment, they calculated the viscosities more directly by measuring the torque generated by a rotating magnetic microparticle also suspended in the fluid.
In both experiments, the viscosity of the bacterial solution was reduced by up to a factor of seven, so long as there was sufficient oxygen to keep the bacteria moving.
While the researchers do not offer a full physical description of why the viscosity varies in this way, they attribute the reducing viscosity to the conversion of oxygen and nutrients into mechanical energy. "The bacteria are effectively absorbing energy and injecting it directly into the liquid," explained Aranson. The researcher told physicsworld.com that he can imagine this mechanism finding a role in industry, for example to enhance mixing processes in microscopic systems.
Roberto Di Leonardo, a microfluidics researcher at Rome University, can also see the potential of this research for industry. "Bacterial suspensions could play a more interesting role as advanced, 'active' lubricants for micro-machines," he says. Di Leonardo notes, however, that the "contamination" with organic microfluid could be problematic in some applications.
One of the new directions that Aranson hopes to pursue is the development of a bacterial micromotor that is self-starting. "These micromotors are asymmetric with 200–400 µm miniature gears immersed into the suspensions of swimming bacteria and energized due to collisions with bacteria," he says.
This research has been published in Physical Review Letters.

The First Transistor Radio Made In Salina Is Now Headed For The Smithsonian
Let's head back to the early years of the 1950s. The War just ended, and new technology was emerging all over the world. Here in America it was 1953. The cutting edge of technology was the transistor radio. That cutting edge of technology was created right here in Central New York.
General Electric's plant in Salina in 1953 turned theory into reality with the transistor radio. Engineers led by Arthur P. Stern went to work proving that transistors could replace tubes in a radio. This team created GE's first prototype of a transistor radio. How big was this first prototype?
About the size of a pound cake, lacking a speaker and held together with slot-head screws, the radio wasn't meant to be sold to the public, but rather to demonstrate the viability of transistors, said Jeff Marier, an engineer at Lockheed Martin, who also collects radios. Marier shared the story of the radio with Baldwinsville students last week, explaining to them that the radio is "part of the history of innovation in our country and part of our history in Syracuse."
On Friday (11/16), that prototype will be received by the Smithsonian Institution to become part of its permanent collection of electronics. If it wasn't for this great invention you'd never be able to listen to Central New York's Greatest Hits!

LISP Function that Returns True If Atom Is In List
Question:
Tag: list,recursion,lisp,common-lisp
I'm trying to write a function (deep-find) that takes in a list and another argument and returns T if that argument is present in the list. For example, if I called (deep-find '(A B (C D)) 'C) it should return true, but if I called (deep-find '(A B (C D)) 'F) it should return false. Here's the code I have so far, but it returns nil every time:
(defun deep-find (L n)
 (cond
 ((null L) nil)
 ((equal n (car L)) t)
 ((deep-find (cdr L) n))))
Answer:
Your code does not return NIL every time; it works well for simple lists. For instance (deep-find '(A B (C D)) 'A) returns T as it should.
You have three cases in your cond: end of list, list head check, and list tail check. However, there is nothing regarding trees in that. So, you need another condition that recurses into the deeper levels of a tree in case of a branch in the tree:
(defun deep-find (L n)
 (cond
 ((null L) nil)
 ((equal n (car L)) t)
 ((listp (car L)) ; in case of a branch,
 (or (deep-find (car L) n) ; check the branch,
 (deep-find (cdr L) n))) ; and check rest of the list
 ((deep-find (cdr L) n))))

Focus: Economic Botany
Focus: Economic Botany
Economic botanists explore the interface between people and plants to describe the cultural uses of plants, explain the origin of specific useful plants and develop strategies for the sustainable use of plant resources. Ever since its founding in the late 19th century, The Field Museum and its scientists have studied the great variety of ways that people use plants. In fact the Museum's first Curator of Botany, Charles Frederick Millspaugh, had a special interest in economic botany and tropical plants which resulted in a direction and influence that continues at the Museum today.
The Natural Products Initiative aims to revitalize the tradition of economic botany at The Field Museum and to highlight the essential contributions of the plant world to our everyday lives.

Apprenticeships provide routes into a variety of careers and offer the opportunity to earn, learn and achieve nationally recognised qualifications at the same time.
They are for people looking for a job that enables them to carry on learning, and for those already in employment who want to gain further qualifications.
There are three levels of Apprenticeship available for those aged 16 and over:
Apprentices work towards work-based learning qualifications such as a QCF Level 2, Key Skills and, in some cases, a relevant knowledge-based qualification such as a BTEC.
These provide the skills you need for your chosen career and allow entry to an Advanced Apprenticeship.
Advanced apprentices work towards work-based learning qualifications such as QCF Level 3, Key Skills and, in most cases, a relevant knowledge based certificate such as a BTEC.
To start this programme, you should ideally have five GCSEs (grade C or above) or have completed an Apprenticeship.
Higher Apprenticeships work towards work-based learning qualifications such as NVQ Level 4 and, in some cases, a knowledge-based qualification such as a Foundation degree.
Apprenticeships take between one and four years to complete, depending on the type of framework/programme. Apprentices stay with the Trust for the set period of time and will work as part of a team whilst also having nominated study time to achieve the national apprenticeship qualification.
Apprentices do real jobs, so you're paid while you learn. You will start earning from day one of your Apprenticeship. There is no set rate of pay for apprentices, however all employed apprentices must receive a wage of no less than £95 per week.
For general information about apprenticeships in England visit the National Apprenticeships website.

Is symmetry identity?
International Studies in The Philosophy of Science 02/2012; 16(2). DOI:10.1080/02698590220145061
Source: arXiv
ABSTRACT Wigner found unreasonable the "effectiveness of mathematics in the natural
sciences". But if the mathematics we use to describe nature is simply a coded
expression of our experience then its effectiveness is quite reasonable. Its
effectiveness is built into its design. We consider group theory, the logic of
symmetry. We examine the premise that symmetry is identity; that group theory
encodes our experience of identification. To decide whether group theory
describes the world in such an elemental way we catalogue the detailed
correspondence between elements of the physical world and elements of the
formalism. Providing an unequivocal match between concept and mathematical
statement completes the case. It makes effectiveness appear reasonable. The
case that symmetry is identity is a strong one but it is not complete. The
further validation required suggests that unexpected entities might be
describable by the irreducible representations of group theory.

This week is Tongan Language Week – Uike Kātoanga'i 'o e Lea Faka-Tonga. This is the second blog post for this week where the Pacific Cultures team highlight collection items that relate to Tongan language and culture.
This is a kumete, a wooden bowl used in Tongan communities for the preparation of kava, a beverage made from the roots of the kava plant. A person preparing kava will crush the roots into a powder-like form before mixing it in a bowl with water to suitable strength and taste.
The most important use of kava is in meetings and ceremonies. Important guests and occasions are honoured with the formal serving of kava in coconut shell cups. Kava is also consumed informally, sometimes in kava clubs. While these informal kava drinking circles are often social, they are also important venues for the preservation of Tongan language and culture. Conversation, song, humour and even relationships are nurtured around the bowl through the sharing of the beverage among family and friends.
At Te Papa we collect tangible items associated with kava drinking such as kumete, kava cups and photography of specific events. However, just as interesting are the intangible elements of culture that make these artefacts significant – the stories, tales and cultural practices.
Watch this video clip from the Tales from Te Papa series where the Reverend Tevita Finau explains how kava drinking can play a role in the arts of Tongan courtship. Click here to Go to video.

A new research center, led by engineers and scientists at The Johns Hopkins University, plans to address these fears by creating new tools to gauge risks associated with hazardous waste sites and by developing new ways to clean up harmful pollutants. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently approved a five-year $5.2 million grant to launch this new Center for Hazardous Substances in Urban Environments, based at Johns Hopkins. The funds will support research and allow center participants to provide technical help to community groups, state, municipal and local environmental regulators and industry representatives in the Northeast. Researchers from four other institutions the University of Maryland, Morgan State University, the University of Connecticut and the New Jersey Institute of Technology will participate in the new center and share in the EPA grant.
"Before we applied for this grant, we asked regional EPA officials about the most serious challenges they faced," said Ed Bouwer, a Johns Hopkins professor of geography and environmental engineering who serves as the center's director. "One of the top issues they mentioned was urban livability making sure that people in cities have air, water and soil that will not expose them to toxic substances. The other big issue was brownfields abandoned lots and buildings that may contain hazardous materials. If you can redevelop these properties, you can create jobs and improve the tax base. So the cities and states have an economic incentive to promote new construction on the brownfields if the environmental concerns can be addressed."

As family historians venture into cemeteries to look for more clues about their ancestors many wonder what, if anything, the symbols on headstones mean.
While most headstone symbols do have a textbook meaning, many were chosen simply because the person who died requested such a design, or because the person choosing the headstone liked how it looked. They may not have realised their chosen design had meaning. Fashion also played a big part, as did the need to impress. Therefore the true representation of a headstone symbol may never be known.
Nevertheless, it's interesting to know the potential meanings behind various symbols. Here are some examples I've found in the rural cemeteries of Canterbury, New Zealand. This is an ongoing project so please check back for updates or subscribe to this blog to receive automatic notifications of updates.

Triggerfish, Grey and Queen
Grey and Queen Triggerfish are found on rocky and coral reefs throughout much of the Atlantic Ocean, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. They grow at moderate to fast rates, reach sexual maturity at an early age, and can release millions of eggs.
Grey Triggerfish is commercially caught in the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic, while Queen Triggerfish is mostly caught in the Caribbean Sea. There is little information about the abundance of either species, but one report found that Grey Triggerfish in the Gulf of Mexico is overfished. Management regulations for these species include gear and area restrictions, and annual catch limits have recently been established in all regions.
Most Grey Triggerfish and some Queen Triggerfish are caught with hook and line gear, which causes minimal habitat damage and moderate levels of bycatch.

Juan Marichal (historian)
Juan Marichal (February 2, 1922 – August 9, 2010) was a Spanish-Canarian historian, literary critic and essayist. Marichal also served as a professor at Harvard University. Marichal spent years in exile during the Franco dictatorship following the end of the Spanish Civil War.
Marichal was born on February 2, 1922, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. He moved with his family to Madrid in 1935. However, he soon relocated to both Valencia and Barcelona before attending school in Paris, France. He graduated from French lycee in Casablanca, near the end of the Spanish Civil War.
In 1941, Marichal boarded a ship with other exiles from the Spanish Civil War and sailed from Casablanca to Mexico at just 19 years old. He enrolled at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, where he studied literature and philosophy. He worked at a box factory as a student to pay for his tuition.
Marichal became a professor at Luis Vives Institute, an organization in Mexico founded by Spaniard exiles. He moved to the United States, where he enrolled as a doctoral student at Princeton University in New Jersey due to a scholarship obtained for him by Edmundo O'Gorman, a Mexican historian and philosopher. Marichal received his doctorate in literature from Princeton University in 1949.
Marichal taught literature at Harvard University in Massachusetts after obtaining his doctorate, where his courses, which focused on Spain and the Spanish-language, included El Cid. He later spent more than 10 years writing his most famous work, The Complete Works of Manuel Azaña, a Spanish politician. He also published the writings and works of his father-in-law, Spanish poet Pedro Salinas, Three Voices of Pedro Salinas, in 1976. Marichal was a recipient of the Spain National Prize in Literature in 1996 for his work as a historian and was awarded the Canary Prize for Literature in 1987.
Juan Marichal died on August 9, 2010, at his home in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, at the age of 88. His death was announced by the regional government of the Canary Islands. He was predeceased by his wife, Solita, the daughter of poet Pedro Salinas.. The couple had one son.

Adam D. McCune
Politician. Born: November 26, 1827, Jefferson County, Ohio. Married: Margaret A. Medill, October 2, 1851. Died: August 18, 1866.
Born in Jefferson County, Ohio, on November 26, 1827, and raised on a farm, Adam D. McCune married Margaret A. Medill on October 2, 1851, and they moved their young family, which consisted of two sons and a daughter, to Kansas in 1857. He immediately purchased 540 acres of land in Leavenworth County, turned "his attention to general farm pursuits," and was active in local affairs. McCune easily won election on June 7, 1859, as delegate to the Wyandotte Convention, and thus became a part of his county's ten-member Democratic delegation. Although he seems not to have played a significant role in the convention, McCune served on the five-member committee appointed to investigate the perjury charge leveled against delegate William Hutchinson near the end of the proceedings. When McCune died on August 18, 1866, just nine years after moving to Kansas, Margaret McCune was left the head of a household of eight children, ages sixteen to two years. "The outlook might have been discouraging to some, but not so to her," reported the Portrait and Biographical Record in 1899. "With indomitable spirit, and assisted by her children, she conducted the farm, superintended the planting and harvesting of the crops, and finally succeeded in clearing the debt. Since then she has been uniformly prosperous."

After reading a little bit about history of the silk road, was curious about Cyrus the Great.
Cyrus the Great was the founder of the Persian Empire beginning in 550 BCE after conquering surrounding lands, including Babylonia. His empire spanned from Egypt to Turkey to Mesopotomia, and is still considered the father of Iran and one of the greatest leaders of all time. When he conquered a land, he was a merciful leader. The Persian Empire standardized administration of many things, including laws, road networks, a mail system and the belief in "one god." It also had a provincial system (dividing its empire into 20 states) and implemented a 20% tax system, except Persians paid no taxes. Cyrus the Great heavily influenced Alexander the Great 200 years later.

Authorization, users, groups, and the object model in SharePoint 2013
Last modified: September 17, 2015
Applies to: SharePoint Foundation 2013 | SharePoint Server 2013
In this article
Security policy
Users, groups, and principals
High-level view of object relations—scopes, users, groups, and roles
User tokens and access control lists
Object model changes: obsolete but backward-compatible security objects
Guest roles (Limited Access) to accommodate shared resources
Removing users from a scope or from all scopes
Additional resources
In SharePoint 2013, access to websites, lists, folders, and list items is controlled through a role-based membership system by which users are assigned to roles that authorize their access to SharePoint 2013 objects.
To give a user access to an object, you can add the user to a group that already has permissions to the object, or you can create a role assignment object, set the user for the role assignment, optionally bind the role assignment to the appropriate role definition with base permissions, and then add the assignment to the collection of role assignments for the list item, folder, list, or website. If you do not bind the role assignment to a role definition when assigning a user to a role, the user has no permission.
Following are ways that SharePoint 2013 provides to control access to its objects:
 - Objects can use the same permissions as the parent website, list, or folder (inheriting both the roles and users available on the parent object), or they can use unique permissions.
 - Sites, lists, folders, and items each provide role assignment collections, enabling fine management of user access to objects.
 - Groups consist of users and may or may not be assigned to roles. SharePoint 2013 includes the following three groups by default:
 - owners (administrator)
 - members (contributor)
 - visitors (reader)
 When you create a website with unique permissions through the user interface, you are directed to a page where you can assign users to these groups as part of provisioning the site.
 - Anonymous access allows users to contribute anonymously to lists and surveys, or to view pages anonymously. You can also grant access to "all authenticated users" to allow all members of your domain to access a website without having to enable anonymous access.
 - Site creation rights (CreateSSCSite and ManageSubwebs) control whether users can create top-level websites, subsites, or workspaces.
Users become members of a SharePoint object indirectly through a group that has a role assignment, or directly through a role assignment. Users also can be members of a Microsoft Windows NT Domain Group that is added to a group or to a role. A role definition associates a user or group with a single right or set of rights corresponding to values of the Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBasePermissions enumeration. Each user or group has a unique member ID.
You can use the object model to create or modify role assignments and definitions differently than the way you can through the functionality of the addrole.aspx file and the editrole.aspx file. Unlike these pages, which are presented in the user interface, the object model does not enforce rights dependency, so you can create a role definition with an arbitrary combination of rights. But, plan carefully when using the object model to customize role definitions and permissions, because a poorly planned role definition and inappropriately assigned rights can lead to a bad user experience.
For more information about SharePoint 2013 rights, see SPBasePermissions.
A security policy provides a way to enforce uniform security throughout all site collections within a web application (virtual server). Through policy, you can assign a role, or collection of rights, to individual SharePoint 2013 users, and to domain groups using Windows authentication or pluggable authentication systems, but not to SharePoint groups. Each policy entry specifies rights for a user or group in the web application.
Policy is set at the logical web application level or at the zone level. A user can have, for example, different policies on http://Server and _URL_, even if the two web applications have the same content.
Rights can be granted or denied through policy. Granting a right gives that right to the user or group on all secured objects within the web application, regardless of local permissions on the object. Denying a right is given a higher priority than granting the right, actively blocking that right for the user or group on all secured objects within the web application. Denying all for a user prevents that user from accessing any content, even if the user has explicit permissions on specific content: policy overrides site-level permissions.
In policy roles, the users and groups are identified by both their security identifier (SID) and their login or user name. Applying a policy role is similar to managing permissions for a website, list, folder, or document: You add users or groups and assign them to one or more role definitions. Each web application has its own policy roles. Another difference between policy roles and managing permissions is that central administrators can deny a right to a user throughout a web application.
Note Note
Central administration policy roles differ from the role definitions for a site collection.
An individual user (SPUser) gains access to a SharePoint object directly through an individual role assignment, or indirectly through membership in either a domain group or a SharePoint group (SPGroup) that has a role assignment. In a direct role assignment, the user is the principal (SPPrincipal). In a domain group or SharePoint group role assignment, the domain group or SharePoint group is the principal.
SharePoint Server supports Windows users (for example, DOMAIN\User_Alias) and external users (through pluggable authentication). The user identity is maintained by the identity management system (for example, the Active Directory directory service). The user profile (which includes the user's display name, email address, and other information) is scoped to the site-collection level. Changing a display name affects the entire site collection.
A group is a collection of users through which SharePoint Server manages security. User-based management is straightforward for simple sites, but becomes more complex as the number of uniquely secured resources grows. For example, a user may have the Contribute role for list 1, the Read role for list 2, and the Design role for list 3. This model does not scale well if there are, for example, 50,000 users—which would result in access control lists (ACLs) being 50,000 access control entries (ACEs) long on every uniquely secured object.
Groups provide an answer to the manageability and scale problems of user-based permissions management. Group-based management may be more abstract or more difficult to conceptualize, but it enables easier management of complex sites with many uniquely secured objects. For example, when adding a user to a group that has already been granted the appropriate role on various objects in the system. The permissions checking for groups scales better because far fewer group ACEs need to be stored.
SharePoint Server supports two kinds of groups: domain groups and SharePoint groups. Domain groups remain outside SharePoint Server control; users cannot use SharePoint Server to define, browse, or modify domain group membership. SharePoint groups are scoped to the site-collection level, and they can be used only within the site collection. Domain groups can be used anywhere within the scope of the Active Directory directory service.
A principal is a user or group that is used to control security. If you add a user to a site, the user is the principal, but if you add a group to the site, the group is the principal. The key to scaling security in SharePoint Server is to keep the number of principals per scope reasonable. By using groups, a smaller number of principals can be used to grant access to a much larger number of users.
Figure 1 shows a high-level view of the SharePoint Server security management system in a logical database diagram. Each box represents a security object in the system. The lines represent relationships between the objects. The 1 and N notation represents the type of relationship. The figure shows how permissions data is structured into a user token and an ACL.
Figure 1. Authorization object relations
Authorization object relations
A scope represents a uniquely secured object or set of objects. You can scope to site, list, folder or item level.
Users and groups have a many-to-many relationship (N to N). Each user (SPUser) can be a member of multiple groups, and each group (SPGroup) can contain multiple users.
Rights and role definitions also have a many-to-many relationship (N to N). Each right (SPBasePermissions) can be part of multiple role definitions. For example, the Insert List Items right is included in the Contributor, Designer, and Administrator role definitions. Each role definition (SPRoleDefinition) can also contain multiple rights. For example, Contributor includes the rights for inserting, updating, and deleting list items.
Role definitions and role assignments (SPRoleAssignment) have a one-to-many relationship (1 to N). Each role definition is used in multiple role assignments. The readers on list 1 and the readers on list 2 may be different, but their role assignments can share a single role definition: Reader.
Users or groups and role assignments have a many-to-many relationship (N to N). Each user or group can be a member of multiple role assignments on a given object. For example, a user may have both the Designer role and the Administrator role on the same object.
Scopes and role assignments have a one-to-many relationship (1 to N). Each scope has

The Poverty of Clio challenges the hold that cliometrics — an approach to economic history that employs the analytical tools of economists — has exerted on the study of our economic past. In this provocative book, Francesco Boldizzoni calls for the reconstruction of economic history, one in which history and the social sciences are brought to bear on economics, and not the other way around.
Boldizzoni questions the appeal of economics over history — which he identifies as a distinctly American attitude — exposing its errors and hidden ideologies, and revealing how it fails to explain economic behavior itself. He shows how the misguided reliance on economic reasoning to interpret history has come at the expense of insights from the humanities and has led to a rejection of valuable past historical research. Developing a better alternative to new institutional economics and the rational choice approach, Boldizzoni builds on the extraordinary accomplishments of twentieth-century European historians and social thinkers to offer fresh ideas for the renewal of the field.
Economic history needs to rediscover the true relationship between economy and culture, and promote an authentic alliance with the social sciences, starting with sociology and anthropology. It must resume its dialogue with the humanities, but without shrinking away from theory when constructing its models. The Poverty of Clio demonstrates why history must exert its own creative power on economics.

Decorative lamps for living room is one of the most important lighting you need to care in your house. A living room even if decorated with a sense of high art will not look beautiful without proper lighting. In a home, each room requires a multifunctional lighting, both in terms of its usefulness to illuminate the room as well as to provide decorations for the room. The amount of lighting needed a room depends on the size of the room itself. Some rooms have a large size requires more than one lighting, to be able to reach dark corners. How can you determine the shape of a lamp, the size, as well as a range of the light, we will discuss it here.
What makes a decorative lights for living room is significant for the elegance look of the room? Decorative lights for living room is usually the center of attention in a house. The use of decorative lights in a home has long been used by humans, which since the Middle Ages. The beauty of decorative lights will indicate the social status of the owner of the house, and in antiquity is usually owned by the royal family or wealthy noble family. In antiquity uses decorative lights chandelier with a very large size and made with a classic style of metal. The lights came from the candles these people light on in the evening.

Naturalistic Driving Studies (NDS) is a research methodology that has the potential to improve existing approaches for collecting data about driver behaviour and performance in normal driving conditions. Analysis of naturalistic driving data in normal driving conditions provides a possibility of big data sets that can be used to understand the characteristics that lead to vehicle crashes and/or near crashes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of NDS to improve driver behaviour and adherence to road rules. Making use of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as a theoretical framework, the study managed to illicit responses from both drivers and management, in companies where the technology is used, to show that NDS provides the company and drivers with information that can improve driving ability. Overall, the results provide a clear indication that by making use of the data generated through use of NDS, it is possible to identify risky driver behaviour, which can inform the design and implementation of driver improvement projects.

JavaPlot is a library that can be used as a way to create gnuplot plots on the fly through pure Java commands. In contrast with other common gnuplot Java libraries, it uses Java structures to store the various plot parameters, including datasets.
Moreover, it is flexible enough to give special parameters to gnuplot, even if the library does not yet support it. JavaPlot software uses Java's Exceptions to inform the user if something went wrong.
Java 1.5 (or better) is needed for this library. The reason is the extensive usage of various 1.5 technologies, such as Generics and autoboxing, to help maipulation of plot data. It has been tested with gnuplot 4.2. Older versions might or might not work.
This library has been checked in Windows XP, Linux (Debian) and Mac OS X (Tiger & Leopard). It should work on any other system, if you fine tune the special parameters needed.
First you have to include this library in your classpath. Then the easiest way to start creating plots, is to create a new instance of JavaPlot object.
A test case can be found under test/com/panayotis/gnuplot/GNUPlotTest.java. It needs JUnit4 to run, but you can safely copy&paste the ocde from this example to match your needs. For more detailed information, see the provided javadoc. Most methods should be self explanatory.
If you want to go deeper into the library, it is important to understand "ProeprtiesHolder" class, which is the base properties holder of this library.. This class is able to store pairs of values (such as key-value pairs). Use the set() and unset() method of this class to add parameters which will be used when creating the gnuplot program.
There are some things that are not supported yet. These are mainly the multiplot environment and splot-family commands. Still, using methods like getPreInit() and getPostInit() you might be able to simulate them.
If you want to use SVG output in Java, you need a library to handle SVG files. Such a library is SVGSalamander provided with this package. There is a bug in this library, though, which ignores color values. Thus all colors in SVG graphs are black.

A French company is marketing hydrogen bikes for the first time in the world. What are the advantages compared to their cousins with lithium battery?
It's rocket fuel! Hydrogen is considered today to replace fossil fuels in airplanes or cars, and is now used to drive bicycles of a new type. Pragma, a company that specializes in building hydrogen fuel cells, has been developing hydrogen bikes since 2013. Based in Biarritz, it is the only company in the world that produces and markets this type of bike in large quantities.
Hydrogen bikes belong to the family of electric vehicles, and they differ from traditional electrically powered two-wheeled bikes in the way they generate power. There is no battery, but a fuel cell that converts the hydrogen stored in a tank placed under the handlebars into electricity. No greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, just a few drops of water and a bit of heat.
Despite its weight of 30 kg, the bike can reach 25 kilometers per hour without being forced, and it can travel about 150 kilometers on a single charge, which is within the high mid-range of bikes with a battery. But unlike this, recharging is very fast: a tank of hydrogen fills up in just two minutes at a convenient station, compared to several hours of charging lithium batteries.
see also – Bike, the new star of downtown
The hydrogen bike is also more environmentally friendly than its lithium battery-equipped cousin: the fuel cell has a lifespan three times longer than batteries, is much better recycled and contains 1,000 times fewer rare metals. Therefore, the environmental impact is low, provided that green hydrogen is used, that is, it is produced without fossil energy. Herein lies the problem: Most hydrogen production today consumes natural gas and sometimes uses polluting processes. A situation that the French government wants to change thanks to an investment plan of nearly 9 billion euros to produce carbon-neutral hydrogen by 2030.
" I am always told that hydrogen is the energy of the future when in fact it can work today ", confirms Pierre Forte, president and founder of Pragma, a company specializing in hydrogen fuel cells that has been marketing hydrogen bikes since 2017. Currently, the second generation of "Alpha neo" bikes is available for rental this summer from about a dozen rental companies in France. Equipped with charging stations, as at Azay-le-Rideau in Indre-et- Loire, Aix-les-Bains in Savoie or Porticcio in Corsica." We have good feedback from rental companies who have ordered a fleet of our bikes. Many people today struggle to manage the batteries of their electric bike fleet. Often you have to charge them all at the same time in the middle of the day, and some have to leave it half empty. The charging of hydrogen bikes is much faster and therefore easy to regulate ', he pleads.
Available for long-term rental in 2023
The third generation of bikes with improved autonomy and longevity should be marketed by the company in 2023, which it wants to offer to long-term rental from individuals. " We plan to deploy a network of charging stations next year in Montpellier, Toulouse, Nantes, Bordeaux and southern Paris. Individuals will be able to purchase a model (around 5,000 euros) or sign up for a long-term rental (89 euros per month for rent for 4 years with built-in maintenance and unlimited hydrogen at the stations).

Returns a range containing all elements with the given key in the container. The range is defined by two iterators, one pointing to the first element that is not less than key and another pointing to the first element greater than key. Alternatively, the first iterator may be obtained with lower_bound(), and the second with upper_bound().
1,2) Compares the keys to key.
3,4) Compares the keys to the value x. This overload only participates in overload resolution if the qualified-id Compare::is_transparent is valid and denotes a type. They allow calling this function without constructing an instance of Key.
Parameters
key - key value to compare the elements to
x - alternative value that can be compared to Key
Return value
std::pair containing a pair of iterators defining the wanted range: the first pointing to the first element that is not less than key and the second pointing to the first element greater than key.
If there are no elements not less than key, past-the-end (see end()) iterator is returned as the first element. Similarly if there are no elements greater than key, past-the-end iterator is returned as the second element.
Since insert always inserts at the upper bound, the order of equivalent elements in the equal range is the order of insertion. (since C++11)
Complexity
Logarithmic in the size of the container.

Quantcast
Longear sunfish
The longear sunfish (Lepomis megalotis) is a species of freshwater fish in the sunfish family (family Centrarchidae) of order Perciformes. Native to the an area of eastern North America stretching from the Great Lakes down to northeastern Mexico, this species prefers densely vegetated, shallow waters in lakes, ponds, and sluggish streams..
The longear sunfish reaches a maximum recorded length of about 24 cm (9.5 in), with a maximum recorded weight of 790 g (1.7 lb).
Its diet can include insects, aquatic invertebrates, and small fish.
While L. megalotis is readily caught by anglers, the fish are typically too small to be useful as food, and most anglers release them.
Trade in the longear sunfish is restricted in Germany because of the potential for environmental damage caused by introduced sunfish species.

2. Omitting parentheses around method arguments when not appropriate
Better use paranetheses parentheses for argument lists unless you are sure.
For instance, a left paranthesis parenthesis after a method name must always enclose the parameter list.
This may cause the compiler to to assume a complete statement although it is meant as continuing in the next line. It is not always as obvious as in the following Exampleexample.
myVariable = "This is a very long statement continuing in the next line. Result is=" + 42 // this line has no effect
4. Forgetting to write the second equals sign of the equals operator
As a rsultresult, a comparison expression turns into an assignment.

Short Time Period Atmospheric Density Variations and a Determination of Density Errors from Selected Rocketsonde Sensors.
ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES LAB WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE N MEX
Pagination or Media Count:
Atmospheric density changes as observed from nine soundings taken over a three and one half hour time span are described. Arcasonde, Datasonde and inflatable falling sphere sensors were used to determine the density structure. There was general agreement between the mean densities derived from the spheres and the Arcasonde and Datasonde sensors however, the sphere data show more variation from sounding to sounding. A paired data test using 42 soundings showed that the first estimate of the standard deviation of sensor random error of density for the Arcasonde was 0.75, for the Datasonde 0.77, for the sphere 2.86 and for the Arcasonde-Datasonde comparisons 1.38. In an analysis of variance procedure, the percentage change in atmospheric density over various time spans was determined. Author

The current article describes a position statement and recommendations for actions that need to be taken to develop best practices for promoting scientific integrity through open science in health psychology endorsed at a Synergy Expert Group Meeting. Sixteen Synergy Meeting participants specializing in health, social and behavioural psychology convened to discuss priority issues regarding scientific integrity promotion and open science in health psychology. The group developed a set of recommendations for researchers, gatekeepers, and research end-users. The group process followed a nominal group technique and voting system to elicit and decide on the most relevant and topical issues. Seventeen priority areas were listed and voted on, 15 of them were endorsed by the group (5, 6 and 4 from each area). Each of the issues was considered by the group and formed the basis of this position statement. Specifically, the following priority actions for health psychology were endorsed: (1) for researchers: advancing when and how to make data open and accessible at various research stages and understanding researchers' beliefs and attitudes regarding open data; (2) for educators: integrating open science in research curricula, e.g., through online open science training modules, promoting preregistration, transparent reporting, open data and applying open science as a learning tool; (3) for journal editors: providing an open science statement, and open data policies, including a minimal requirements submission checklist. Health psychology societies and journal editors should collaborate in order to develop a coordinated plan for research integrity and open science promotion across behavioural disciplines....

FREEZE-DRYING (LYOPHILIZATION):
FREEZE-DRYING (LYOPHILIZATION) BY A.SREE PRIYA M-Pharmacy 1 st Sem (Pharmaceutics) Priyadarshini College Of Pharmaceutical Sciences
FREEZE-DRYING (LYOPHILIZATION):
FREEZE-DRYING (LYOPHILIZATION) DEFINITION :- Freeze-drying is a process of drying in which water is sublimed from the product after it is frozen. It is a drying process applicable to manufacture of certain pharmaceuticals and biologicals that are thermolabile or otherwise unstable in aqueous solutions for prolonged storage periods, but that are stable in the dry state. The term "lyophilization" describes a process to produce a product that "loves the dry state".
Theory:
Theory The drugs which lose their viability in the liquid state and readily deteriorate if dried in air at normal atmospheric pressures, these may be heat sensitive or they may react readily with oxygen, so that in order to be stabilized, they must be dehydrated to a solid state and this is carried out by freeze-drying also known as lyophilization , gelsication or drying by sublimation . The dried product can be readily redissolved or resuspended by the addition of water prior to use, a procedure known as reconstitution.
principle:
principle The main principle involved in freeze drying is a phenomenon called sublimation, where water passes directly from solid state (ice) to the vapor state without passing through the liquid state. Sublimation of water can take place at pressures and temperature below triple point i.e. 4.579 mm of Hg and 0.0099 degree Celsius. The material to be dried is first frozen and then subjected under a high vacuum to heat (by conduction or radiation or by both) so that frozen liquid sublimes leaving only solid ,dried components of the original liquid.
FREEZE DRYERS:
FREEZE DRYERS Freeze dryers are composed of four basic components: 1. A chamber for Freezing and vacuum drying, 2. A vacuum source, 3. A heat source, and 4. A vapor-removal system.
Lyophilization Equipment ::
Lyophilization Equipment : A lyophilizer consists of a vacuum chamber that contains product shelves capable of cooling and heating containers and contents. A vacuum pump, A refrigeration unit and associated controls are connected to the vacuum chamber. Chemicals are generally placed in containers such as glass vials that are placed on the shelves within the vacuum chamber. Cooling elements within the shelves Freeze the product. once the product is frozen, the vacuum pump evacuates the chamber and the product is heated. Heat is transferred by thermal conduction from the shelf, through the vial, and ultimately to the product.
Processing::
Processing: The fundamental process steps are: 1. Freezing : The product is frozen. This provides a necessary condition for low temperature drying. 2. Vacuum : After freezing, the product is placed under vacuum. This enables the frozen solvent in the product to vaporize with out passing through liquid phase, a process known as sublimation. 3. Heat : Heat is applied to the frozen product to accelerate sublimation. 4. Condensation : Low-temperature condenser plates remove the vaporized solvent from the vacuum chamber by converting it back to a solid. This completes the separation process.
The freeze drying process::
The freeze drying process: There are four stages in complete drying process: 1. Pretreatment 2. Freezing 3. Primary drying 4. Secondary drying.
Slide 9:
Pretreatment : It includes any method of treating prior to freezing. Methods of pretreatment include, freeze concentration, solute phase concentration, formulation to preserve product appearance, formulation to increase surface area etc…
Slide 10:
Freezing : Freezing is usually done using a Freeze drying machine. In this step it is important to cool the materials below its triple point, the lowest temperature at which solids and liquids phases of the material coexist. This ensures sublimation rather than melting.
,:
, Primary drying : During the primary drying the pressure is lowered, and enough heat is supplied to the material for the water to sublimate. In this phase about 95% of water in the material gets sublimated. This phase may be slow (can be several days in the industry) because, if too much heat is added, the material's structure could be altered. Pressure is controlled through the application of partial vacuum.
Slide 12:
Secondary drying : The secondary drying phase aims to remove unfrozen water molecules, since the ice was removed in primary drying phase. In this phase the temperature is raised than primary drying phase and can be above 0 °C. Usually the pressure is lowered in this phase to encourage desorption. After the freeze-drying process is complete, the vacuum is usually broken with an inert gas, such as nitrogen, before the material is sealed. At the end of the operation, the final residual water content in the product is extremely low, around 1% to 4%.
Lyophilization Container Requirements:
Lyophilization Container Requirements The container in which a substance is lyophilization must permit thermal conductivity, be capable of tightly sealed at the end of lyophilization cycle and minimize the amount of moisture to permeate its walls and seal. The enclosed reagent can only remain properly lyophilized if the container in which they processed meet the requirements.
FREEZE-DYERES:
FREEZE-DYERES Product viewable single shelf Freeze-dryer Development Freeze-dryer
Production Freeze-dryer:
Production Freeze-dryer
Advantages:
Advantages 1.Product is stored in dry state-few stability problems. 2.Product is dried without elevated temperatures. 3.Good for oxygen and/or air-sensitive drugs. 4.Rapid reconstitution time. 5.Constituents of the dried material remain homogenously dispersed. 6.Product is process in liquid form. 7.Sterility of product can be achieved and maintained.
Disadvantages:
Disadvantages 1. Volatile compounds may be removed by high vacuum. 2. Single most expensive unit operation. 3. Stability problems associated with individual drugs. 4. Some issues associated with sterilization and sterility assurance of the dryer chamber and aseptic loading of vials into the chamber. 5. High energy costs (2-3times more than other methods). 6. Long process time.
Applications ::
Applications : Pharmaceutical and biotechnology : Pharmaceutical companies often use freeze-drying to increase the shelf life of products, such as vaccines and other injectables.By removing the water from the material and sealing the material in a vial, the material can be easily stored, shipped, and later reconstituted to its original form for injection. Food Industry :Freeze-drying is used to preserve food and make it very lightweight. The process has been popularized in the forms of freeze-dried ice cream , an example of astronaut food .
Slide 19:
Technological Industry : In chemical synthesis , products are often freeze-dried to make them more stable, or easier to dissolve in water for subsequent use. In bioseparations, freeze-drying can be used also as a late-stage purification procedure, because it can effectively remove solvents. Furthermore, it is capable of concentrating substances with low molecular weights that are too small to be removed by a filtration membrane. Other Uses : Organizations such as the Document Conservation Laboratory at the United States National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) have done studies on freeze-drying as a recovery method of water-damaged books and documents. In bacteriology freeze-drying is used to conserve special strains .

Hydrogen Hustle: Report Exposes Dirty Energy Wish-List to Co-opt Hydrogen Funding
WASHINGTON – Today, Friends of the Earth released a report that details how dirty energy industries are seeking to manipulate the 45V hydrogen production tax credit for their own financial gain. Hydrogen Hustle provides a roadmap of key polluter demands to undermine hydrogen emissions requirements. The new report comes at the start of a three-day public hearing on the credit sponsored by the Treasury and IRS.
- Big Oil, major utilities companies and nuclear giants are undermining the Biden Administration's modest steps towards a "three pillars" approach to hydrogen.
- Fossil fuel companies are joining forces with factory farms and landfills to demand that dirty fossil hydrogen be allowed to claim the highest tier of the credit.
- Prominent Blue State governors, including Jay Inslee and Gavin Newson, are using their credentials as climate leaders to weaken the integrity of the 45V credit.
- Big Oil is attempting to "lock-in" the Department of Energy's low-ball estimate for methane leakage,
- Methane gas "certifiers" like Project Canary are siding with Big Oil to further weaken the Biden Administration's already flawed approach to emissions modeling.
"If Big Oil and other polluters get their way, then the hydrogen credit will become yet another fossil fuel cash grab," said Sarah Lutz, Climate Campaigner at Friends of the Earth and author of the report. "It is more important than ever for the Biden Administration to stand firm with a strong, science-driven approach."
Earlier this year, Friends of the Earth led over 75 environmental and justice-oriented groups in a letter to the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department, calling on them to ensure that dirty energy industries like fossil fuels, nuclear, wood, and methane biogas can't obscure their true emissions. In 2023, FoE first sounded the alarm on Big Oil's campaign to weaken the hydrogen tax credit. Now that the Biden Administration has released its draft guidance, the Hydrogen Hustle report provides a Cliff Notes guide to how polluters' lobbying has adapted and on the environmental cost of potential concessions.
