I came across this question which I initially ignored believing that the data was insufficient:
Calculate the pressure exerted by one mole of $\ce{CO2}$ gas at $\pu{273 K}$ if the van der Waals' constant $a = \pu{3.592 dm^6 atm mol^{-2}}$. Assume that the volume occupied by $\ce{CO2}$ molecules is negligible.
I saw that I had 2 variables $P$ and $V$ and logically from what I'd dealt with with real gases I concluded that there must not be a unique solution, but the answer (which can be incorrect) mentioned a unique value of $P$.
I tried solving by writing the equation of state:
$$\left(P+\frac{a} {V_\mathrm{m}^2}\right)V_\mathrm{m} = RT$$
By writing it as a quadratic in V we get
The discriminant of this quadratic is $D = R^2T^2 - 4aP$.
This implies that not all pressures are feasible since $D<0$ for some values of $P$. But for most other values of $P$, $D>0$ which implies that there are 2 values of $V_\mathrm{m}$ for a certain $P$. But looking at the compressibility factor ($Z$) vs $P$ graphs for various gases I found that for a certain $P$ there was only one $Z$ at a temperature, which means there should be only one solution? So the only possibility is that $D=0$ which yields a fixed value of $P$ and hence a fixed value of $V_\mathrm{m}$. That gave me the right answer.
But that seems really wrong since temperature alone shouldn't be able to dictate a unique state and that also implies that volume or a real gas is independent of the volume of container which sounds terribly wrong.
I strongly feel $D=0$ caused this but I don't see why not.
I would like to observe only the gaseous state, i.e, set the temperature above the Critical Temperature.

 $\begingroup$ Why do you think that having multiple possible values for V is illogical? $\endgroup$ Jul 2 at 15:08
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ I have looked at the compressibility factor (z) vs pressure for various curves and have found that there was only one z for a given p $\endgroup$ Jul 2 at 16:35
 - $\begingroup$ Hence doesn't that mean there is only one volume for a certain (p,z) pair? $\endgroup$ Jul 2 at 16:36

 $\begingroup$ I couldn't comment because I have less reputation to do so, but I wanted to suggest looking at this text here _URL_… Although it worked in your case, all roots may not be identical and at subcritical temperatures, 2 of the 3 roots (if real), do have a physical significance $\endgroup$

Fundamentally, the problem is in the problem statement. The proper form for the Van der Waals equation is
which would give a cubic equation when we try to isolate the molar volume. It is this cubic equation that usually has one or three roots that can be correlated with the possible phases, as described in the other answers. Apparently the bookmakers wanted to simplify the equation to a quadratic one, but in so doing they give it spurious mathematical properties which do not match the physics and thus confuse you.
The quadratic equation is accurate in the limit of high temperature and low pressure, where the liquid volume can indeed be ignored... for the larger root only. The smaller root in this situation will be smaller than the liquid volume which the full VdW equation models as $b$, so properly putting in that $b$ term would blow that small root out of the water. The small root is not really a root, even approximately.
So pick the larger of the two roots which is the only one that really matches with the proper VdW equation.
The van der Wals expression can be shown graphically at constant temperature by the curve ABCDEFG in following diagramm, if the temperature is lower thant the critical temperature. enter image description here
Try to follow the line. Start at A with a large volume of gas and a small pressure. Increase the pressure. The volume decreases from A to B and C. But after C, along CDE, the volume and the pressure decrease simultaneously : this is absurd and ridiculous. Something should be done to explain this stupid CDE fragment. After E, the line EFG makes sense : the pressure must increase to get a smaller volume.
The reason of the nonsense is that when going from A to B, something new happened to the compressed gas. At B, the first drop of liquid appears. The system has to be cooled, but when the volume decreases to V < V(B), the pressure and the temperature do not change. The amount of liquid gets more and more important. When it arrives in F, the gas is totally transformed into a liquid. So the behavior of the system is described by the horizontal line BDF. If on wants to still decrease the volume, the pressure becomes quickly very high, as everybody knows that liquids are nearly incompressible.
So the compression of a gas A is described by the line ABDFG, where the surface BCD is equal to the surface DEF. The line AB corresponds to a gas. The horizontal line BDF corresponds to two phases (gas and liquid). The line FG corresponds to a liquid. The two solutions of van der Wals equation correspond to the points F and B.

Hondo (main hall) of Sogen-ji Temple
Shoin-style architecture related to Kanamori Nagachika
Sogen-ji Temple was constructed to memorialize the spirit of Kanamori Nagachika, the first lord of Takayama Castle, and was named after the posthumous Buddhist name of Nagachika.
One of the attractions of Sogen-ji Temple is its hondo built with a copper sheet and hip-and-gable roof construction, which was originally the council hall in Sannomaru of Takayama Castle, relocated in 1635.
The six-foot long board-lined corridor in the kesho-yaneura (the visible underside of the roof) was originally an earthen floor at the entrance. Beyond the nine-foot long corridor are a large room and a naijin (the inner sanctum at the center), with an area for four rooms on the right side and an area for two rooms on the left side. These are the structural remains of a shoin-zukuri-style architecture, fitting for the mansion of a feudal lord.

late Middle English: from late Latin appositio(n-), from apponere 'to apply' (see apposite)
It is possible to place one noun or noun phrase next to another one in a sentence, so that it explains or amplifies it. For example:The Connecticut legislator James Lanman pursued classical studies at Yale College before joining the bar in 1791. Here the short phrases The Connecticut legislator and James Lanman work in parallel. They are said to be in apposition to each other.In the example above, the sentence would work grammatically with only one of the phrases:The connecticut legislator pursued classical studies at Yale College before... James Lanman pursued... But neither of these alternative versions is completely satisfactory. The first leads us to ask, "Which Connecticut legislator?," while the second prompts. "Who is James Lanman"See also parenthesis.

The mask who wasn't there
Does a visual mask need to be perceptually present to disrupt processing? In this research, we proposed to explore the link between perceptual and memory mechanisms by demonstrating that a typical sensory phenomenon (visual masking) can be replicated at a memory level. Experiment 1 highlighted an interference effect of a visual mask on the categorization of auditory targets and confirmed the multimodal nature of knowledge. In Experiment 2, we proposed to reactivate this mask in a categorization task on visual targets. Results showed that the sensory mask has disrupted (slower reaction times) the processing of the targets whether the mask was perceptually present or reactivated in memory. These results support a sensory-based conception of memory processing and suggest that the difference between perceptual processes and memory processes is characterized by the presence (perception) or the absence (memory) of the sensory properties involved in the activity.

text: A model predictive control law is given by the solution to a parametric optimization problem that can be precomputed offline and provides an explicit map from state to control input. In this paper, an algorithm is introduced based on wavelet multiresolution analysis that returns a low complexity explicit model predictive control law built on a hierarchy of second order interpolets. The resulting interpolation is shown to be everywhere feasible and continuous. Further, tests to confirm stability and to compute a bound on the performance loss are introduced. Since the controller approximation is built on a grid hierarchy, convergence to a stabilizing control law is guaranteed and the evaluation of the control law in real-time systems is naturally fast and runs in a bounded logarithmic time. Two examples are provided; A two-dimensional example with an evaluation speed of 31 ns and a four-dimensional example with an evaluation speed of 119 ns.

WAIT::Table -- Module for maintaining Tables / Relations
 require WAIT::Table;
Creating a Table.
The constructor WAIT::Table->new is normally called via the create_table method of a database handle. This is not enforced, but creating a table does not make any sense unless the table is registered by the database because the latter implements persistence of the meta data. Registering is done automatically by letting the database handle the creation of a table.
 my $db = WAIT::Database->create(name =>'sample');
 my $tb = $db->create_table(name => 'test',
 access => $access,
 layout => $layout,
 attr => ['docid', 'headline'],
The constructor returns a handle for the table. This handle is hidden by the table module, to prevent direct access if called via Table.
access => accessobj
A reference to an access object for the external parts (attributes) of tuples. As you may remember, the WAIT System does not enforce that objects are completely stored inside the system to avoid duplication. There is no (strong) point in storing all your HTML documents inside the system when indexing your WWW-Server.
The access object is designed to work like as a tied hash. You pass the refernce to the object, not the tied hash though. An example implementation of an access class that works for manpages is WAIT::Document::Nroff.
The implementation needs to take into account that WAIT will keep this object in a Data::Dumper or Storable database and re-use it when sman is run. So it is not good enough if we can produce the index with it now, when we create or actively access the table, WAIT also must be able to retrieve documents on its own, when we are in a different context. This happens specifically in a retrieval. To get this working seemlessly, the access-defining class must implement a close method. This method will be called before the Data::Dumper dump takes place. In that moment the access-defining class must get rid of all data structures that cannot be reconstructed via the Data::Dumper dump, such as database handles or C pointers.
file => fname
The filename of the records file. Files for indexes will have fname as prefix. Mandatory, but usually taken care of by the WAIT::Database handle when the constructor is called via WAIT::Database::create_table().
name => name
The name of this table. Mandatory
attr => [ attr... ]
A reference to an array of attribute names. WAIT will keep the contents of these attributes in its table. Mandatory
djk => [ attr... ]
A reference to an array of attribute names which make up the disjointness key. Don't think about it - it's of no use yet;
layout => layoutobj
A reference to an external parser object. Defaults to a new instance of WAIT::Parse::Base. For an example implementation see WAIT::Parse::Nroff. A layout class can be implemented as a singleton class if you so like.
keyset => keyset
The set of attributes needed to identify a record. Defaults to all attributes.
invindex => inverted index
A reference to an anon array defining attributes of each record that need to be indexed. See the source of smakewhatis for how to set this up.
Creating an index
must be called with a list of attributes. This must be a subset of the attributes specified when the table was created. Currently this method must be called before the first tuple is inserted in the table!
Creating an inverted index
 (attribute => 'au',
 pipeline => ['detex', 'isotr', 'isolc','split2','stop'],
 predicate => 'plain',
The attribute to build the index on. This attribute may not be in the set attributes specified when the table was created.
A piplines specification is a reference to an array of method names (from package WAIT::Filter) which are to be applied in sequence to the contents of the named attribute. The attribute name may not be in the attribute list.
An indication which predicate the index implements. This may be e.g. 'plain','stemming' or'soundex'. The indicator will be used for query processing. Currently there is no standard set of predicate names. The predicate defaults to the last member of the pipeline if omitted.
Returns the reference to the associated parser object.
Returns the array of attribute names.
Must be called via WAIT::Database::drop_table

Based on data below, which acide is like to have the highest conductivity?
ACID Bond strength
1 Answer | Add Yours
The strength of an acid is proportional to the number of molecules and ions that are present in the acid solution. The stronger the acid the more ions that are present and the weaker the acid the more molecules that are present. Because there are more ions present in a strong acid, stronger acids are better conductors of electricity. But what does acid strength have to do with bond strength. In a strong acid molecules are easily broken apart into ions, and therefore, the bond strength is weak. However, in a weak acid molecules are not easily broken apart into ions, and therefore, the bong strength is strong. Consequently:
Strong acid = more ions = weak bonds = better conductivity
Weak acid = less ions = strong bonds = poorer conductivity
Therefore, because HCl has the weaker bonds, it is more conductive than HF.

Diagnosis related group (DRG) is a patient classification system adopted on the basis of diagnosis consisting of distinct groupings. It is a scheme that provides a means for relating the type of patients a hospital treats with the costs incurred by the hospital. DRG are based upon the patient's principal diagnosis, ICD diagnoses, gender, age, sex, treatment procedure, discharge status, and the presence of complications or comorbidities.
It is a system developed for Medicare as part of the prospective payment system that utilizes a predetermined rate per case or type of discharge. DRGs have been used in the US in inpatient hospital discharge and the emergency department encounter query modules since 1983 to determine how much medicare pays the hospital, since patients within each category are similar clinically and some groups of patients having common demographic, diagnostic, and therapeutic attributes use the same level of hospital resources.

DAX Studio – What do all those numbers mean in the server timing output?
When you run a query in DAX Studio with the Server Timings feature switched on you will see output like the following.
image
A number of the metrics that are gathered by the server timings have been abbreviated and if you may not be aware of what they all mean. The topic of performance tuning DAX queries can get quite involved. This post is just designed to give a brief overview and bit of background about how the different metrics are calculated.
Metric Description
Total This is the total query duration in milliseconds – taken from the Query End profiler event. This is the total time the server took to process the query. (so it will exclude any time the client took to process the result set)
SE CPU This is the amount of CPU time that was spend on Storage Engine queries (note that this figure *may* not be 100% reliable, so don't place a high amount of importance on it) the blue ratio under SE CPU is the factor of SE CPU over SE and is a very rough indicator of the average parallel operations that the SE was running. This figure is calculated by adding up the CPU duration from the Storage Engine events
FE This is the amount of time spent in the Formula Engine, calculated by Subtracting the SE duration from the Total. The blue figure underneath is the percentage of FE / Total
SE This is the amount of time spend in the Storage Engine, calculated by adding up the duration of all the Storage Engine queries. The blue figure underneath is the percentage of SE / Total. As a rough rule of thumb you want to try to get your queries to spend more time in the Storage Engine as it is multi-threaded so can do more operations in parallel. While the Formula Engine is single threaded and cannot make use of multiple CPU cores. Note that you cannot have a query that is 100% handled in the storage engine as the FE sits over the top of the SE. The FE is what issues the requests to the SE and it also serializes the result set before it is sent back to the client
SE Queries this is the number of Storage Engine queries that were performed during the processing of the query
SE Cache this is the number of Storage Engine cache hits
You may also wonder what that "SQL like" query is that captured by the scan event. This is called xmSQL and is textual representation of the requests that the Formula Engine sent to the Storage Engine. As far as I am aware there is no way of executing these queries, they are merely a textual representation of the requests sent to the Storage Engine to enable people to understand what operations the storage engine was performing.

About the design: Students in Skolos' studio were challenged not only to come up with great Green Patriot designs (which they did by the dozens), but also to get their ideas out of the classroom and into the world. Working in pairs or individually the students developed and implemented campaigns. The results were phenomenally creative and impactful.
"The sponsored research studio collaboration with Ed Morris and his Green Patriot project had a rare energy and a life of its own almost from day one. I have never worked with students that have been more enthusiastic about a topic and who have generated so much amazing work. Learning about climate change and considering how to communicate its urgency has been a very meaningful experience and one I will never forget in my teaching." - Nancy Skolos

With collective strong sound wave head, strong sound wave of 40000HZ may be emitted to vibrate fat cells at top speed and produce numerous vacuum air pockets inside and outside the fat cells, robustly impact fat cells to generate introverted blast and disintegrate triglyceride into glycerol and free fatty acids. Then RF waves at frequency of 1MHZ is used for exhausting the integrated glycerol and free fatty acids through hepatoenteral circulation. Finally, vacuum RF and energy electrode are used for positioning and tightening fat. In physics, it is known as "cavitation". Micropore introverted blast inside and outside cell may lead to enhanced molecular motion and a higher energy level and this will finally cause fat cell rupture and thereby achieve the effects of body building and losing weight.

A neuro-fuzzy inference engine for Farsi numeral characters recognition
Information Technology Dept., School of Engineering, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran; Information Systems Dept., DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada
Expert Systems with Applications 01/2010; DOI: 10.1016/j.eswa.2010.02.088
Source: DBLP
ABSTRACT Character recognition of Farsi and Arabic texts as an open and demanding problem needs to encounter sophisticated specifications of the characters such as their shapes, continuity, dots and also, different fonts. Utilizing fuzzy set theory as a tolerant approach toward uncertainty and vagueness and artificial neural networks as a machine learning method in this paper, we propose a neuro-fuzzy inference engine to recognize the Farsi numeral characters. This engine takes holistic approach of character recognition through the comparison of the unknown character's features with the features of the existing characters that itself is characterized through Mamdani inference engine on fuzzy rules which is largely enhanced with a multi layer perceptron neural network's learning on features of the different fonts' characters which leads to more comprehensive recognition of Farsi numeral characters in the proposed system. Having applied this novel engine on a dataset of unknown numeral characters consisted of 33 different Farsi fonts, it yielded more accurate results than the corresponding researches. The recognition rates of unknown numeral characters are greater than 97% except for Farsi character 4, so as the proposed schema could not score a better result than 95% for this numeral character which implies its recognition is still in need of more enhancement.

 ABSTRACT: The performance of a code-division multiple-access (CDMA) cellular system for different RF modulation techniques, such as quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) and differential phase-shift keying (DPSK), is analyzed. The analysis emphasizes how voice quality deteriorates with increasing system load and determines the maximum acceptable load and minimum acceptable E b/ N 0 for producing acceptable quality voice

 ABSTRACT: This paper proposes an optimization method for designing type-2 fuzzy inference systems based on the footprint of uncertainty (FOU) of the membership functions, considering three different cases to reduce the complexity problem of searching the parameter space of solutions. For the optimization method, we propose the use of a genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the type-2 fuzzy inference systems, considering different cases for changing the level of uncertainty of the membership functions to reach the optimal solution at the end.

Talk:Examples of Bias in Wikipedia/Archive10
From Conservapedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"Wikipedia allows the use of B.C.E. instead of B.C. and C.E. instead of A.D."
Here is Wikipedia's policy:
"Both the BCE/CE era names and the BC/AD era names are acceptable, but be consistent within an article. Normally you should use plain numbers for years in the Common Era, but when events span the start of the Common Era, use AD or CE for the date at the end of the range (note that AD precedes the date and CE follows it)."
Much of the world has been using the so-called "Common Era" indicator for some time. This is the same reason that Wikipedia occasionally allows British spellings (i.e. colour or fibre) and use of the metric system in articles - hardly evidence of bias. A restriction of the usage of C.E. or B.C.E., on the other hand, would be Western-centric and biased.Archibald 19:27, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
 - Archibald, your posting borders on the pedantic! How many articles, using AD or BC actually remain that way? Editors are constantly changing to the secular-progressive CE. --şŷŝôρ-₮KṢρёаќǃ 19:35, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
 - A "Pedant" is one who focuses on trivialities while ignoring the big picture. This word does not apply to my post. Wikipedia policy tries to avoid ANY date suffixing to avoid this type of controversy. The majority of the English-speaking world is now using the "C.E." system. Nevertheless, Wikipedia neither supports it nor discourages it. This cannot be bias. To research your claim, I jumped to five random historical articles on Wiki. Three used AD/BC dating, and two used no dating (just writing, for example, "The year 1300"). In my experience editors who terraform an article to change its dating system are usually disciplined. If I attempt to go through an article and append "AD" to every date, you can be sure my edit will be reverted by an editor. Again, Wiki neither discourages not supports any counting system.Archibald 00:00, 1 October 2007 (EDT)
"The majority of the English-speaking world is now using the "C.E." system"
Huh? I doubt this is true, but if it is it is an example of enforced politically correct speech and nothing more. I never heard of "C.E." until about 1996, and even then in 1996 it was only in the context of a pagan writer openly hostile to the Christian basis of Western culture. If it is in common usage today, I would ask why, who decreed that it should be in common usage, who is promoting it, and what their real agenda is? "C.E." is a neologism. It was not in significant usage prior to the past few years, and probably not used at all before the 1990s. Use of neologisms is bias. I would go so far as to say that anything that came into common usage after about 1988, when the political correctness movement started becoming a significant force affecting the culture, is suspect because of the probable influence of multiculturalism and other aspects of the P.C. movement, and should be questioned at best and in most cases not used at all. Parrothead 22:39, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
" 'C.E.' is a neologism." That's true, and it's also true that "Common Era" dating catches on mainly with people who wish to remove references to Christ from daily life. (Laughably futile, as the date itself - still a reference to Christ's birth - is absolutely ingrained in the system.) Still, though prefer to continue using "A.D." and "B.C." because I see no reason to change, some tiny percentage of Wiki articles use "C.E." merely reflecting that a certain percentage of the population prefers that system.Shocktherapy 09:56, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
New #1 - WP's CP entry
Maybe add a line or two of how several sysops (Ed Poor, Karajou (editing as an anonymous IP), Mr. Martinez were the ones I spotted on the fly) edited the article and often tried to add their own bias to it, but apparently never, ever touched that claim you mentioned (which has been in the article since March or April, btw.)? (I didn't check each and every edit in the long edit history, but if my claim about the no-touching is wrong, I'll be happy to concede the point as soon as somebody shows me the diff), meaning that they apparently saw nothing wrong with it.
And sourcing aside, how can you say that CP is not supportive of YEC when you support sysops like Conservative and others, who openly push YEC in key articles, making it look like the most likely alternative while merrily bashing "evolutionism" and related old-earth concepts? CP seems to go to great lengths to make all issues connected to an old Earth look like some wild theory with no proof at all. If you wish to prove me wrong, be my guest. This is just my impression after a good while of lurking and posting. --Jenkins 17:46, 30 September 2007 (EDT)
If I've added "bias" to an article, please give the article name and expose the "bias" you allege that I added. Otherwise, I must assume you are simply making a personal attack for ideological reasons (as liberals habitually do). Ironically, liberals (when caught doing this) will then generally add insult to injury by claiming conservatives do what liberals actually do: again, without supplying actual examples. The term Democrats invented for this, the "politics of personal destruction", applies splendidly (or abysmally?) to liberals. I wish liberals would return to the roots of liberal education and use evidence and reason to make arguments, instead of groundless jabs. --Ed Poor Talk 07:54, 1 October 2007 (EDT)
[meaningless blather omitted by sysop Ed Poor]
I stand by what I said, and exactly by what I said. What you or Andy try to put into my mouth is none of my business. If you feel like blocking me for that post, go ahead. But I feel you hurt me enough by slapping me around with your pretty little speech about ideological attacks and how liberals and Democrats attack without providing examples. But of course, that was anything but an attack or whatever. Here, just do it. I'll stand still. An hour? A day? A month? Or hey, maybe a permanent one! After all, Conservapedia has so many active editors left, it can easily afford to permanently block a guy who created, like, THIRTY or so most wanted pages within ten days. And oh, another block will do WONDERS for my motivation to help! Yes, all in the name of justice for my bad, bad attack. Do I sound bitter?...can you be blocked for that? --Jenkins 08:29, 1 October 2007 (EDT)
Your motivation is not an issue. The only thing that matters is whether our readers can trust you. I asked you to give the article name and expose the "bias" you allege that I added. Your response implied that you hadn't made the allegation at all. Then you went on an emotional tangent and (as I predicted) followed up your denial with a tit for tat attack, as if your failure to provide examples of your false accusation is excused by my not giving fresh examples of what is common knowledge: that liberals (like you) make ideological attacks without providing examples.
I don't know if you really believe what you are saying or are simply hoping to confuse the reader with convoluted arguments. But you can take a week to think over what you have done. Perhaps you will choose to clarify whether or not you think I have "added bias" to any encyclopedia article. Unless you are prepared to give an example, you would do well to take that back. That is the only way you can regain trust: by admitting your error.
Unlike liberals, we conservatives are very forgiving people. Just admit your mistake, embrace the truth and join us! :-) --Ed Poor Talk 09:04, 1 October 2007 (EDT)
Your first paragraph, even if true, would not be a defense for Wikipedia, so it is irrelevant and I'll ignore it.
Your second paragraph fails to address the essence of Wikipedia's defamation as quoted in point 1: "Conservapedia is a wiki-based web encyclopedia project with the stated purpose of creating an encyclopedia... supportive of... Young Earth creationism."
This is a great example of the danger of ellipses. Maybe it was different when whoever wrote this, but here's what it says now: "Conservapedia is an English-language wiki-based web encyclopedia project with the stated purpose of creating an encyclopedia written from a sociallyand economically-conservative viewpoint supportive of Conservative Christianity." This is a true statement that few CPers would argue with. Young Earth creationism is mentioned in the next sentence, which makes this "quote" pathetically misleading and its attempted point laughably meaningless. RWest 15:08, 11 October 2007 (EDT)
It's not just that Wikipedia's statement is false. It

It's perhaps not surprising that Lovell Chen often encounters the name of John Monash, given his influence on the history of engineering in Australia in the first half of the 20th century. He was not only an outstanding First World War military leader and pillar of Melbourne society but also a civil engineer of note, playing a major part in introducing reinforced concrete into local construction practice. However, our most recent project associated with him is the masonry and steel Chandler Highway Bridge (1891). It was constructed as part of the Outer Circle Railway and designed by the Victorian Railways chief engineer, with Monash as supervising engineer while still an undergraduate.
[ photo: Outer Circle Railway Bridge c.1900, courtesy State Library of Victoria ]
General Sir John Monash (_PHONE_) was born in Dudley Street, West Melbourne, to Prussian emigré parents. He attended Scotch College senior school, excelling in mathematics, and the University of Melbourne, studying engineering and law — and co-founding the Melbourne University Union. His studies took an erratic course when his mother fell fatally ill, leaving his father stricken. To help support the family, Monash worked for more than two years on the construction of Princes Bridge over the Yarra in central Melbourne. He passed his third year studies in 1887, and in 1888 took the position with the Outer Circle Railway, staying with them until it was finished in 1891. He worked for Melbourne Harbour Trust while completing his degrees.
[ photo: John Monash sitting for a portrait by James Quinn, London c.1919, courtesy State Library of Victoria ]
In April 1894, Monash went into private practice with Joshua Thomas Noble Anderson (_PHONE_) who subsequently won the patent rights for Victoria for Monier reinforced concrete construction. The firm of Monash & Anderson built concrete bridges all over the state, and manufactured concrete pipes with successful businessman/contractor David Mitchell (_PHONE_), father of Dame Nellie Melba. A switch to the construction of buildings started in 1905: with John Gibson as managing director, Monash set up the Reinforced Concrete & Monier Pipe Construction Co. Ltd. and continued to work under the protection of the Monier patents. The business was very successful but the First World War was about to intervene. After the war, the construction company was taken over by W.R. Hume and Monash became a director of Hume Pipe Co. (Aust) Ltd. In June 1920 he was appointed general manager of the State Electricity Commission of Victoria.
Among the Monash-associated projects that Lovell Chen has worked on is Princes Bridge (conservation management plan, stone conservation works), Wimmera Flour Mill at Rupunyap (heritage assessment), Morell Bridge (paint colours and decorative scheme), 30 Oliver Lane in Melbourne (conservation management plan, finishes investigation), Yarraville SEC Terminal Station (heritage appraisal), and Chandler Highway Bridge (conservation and conversion works). The buildings in Oliver Lane are the first in Australia to be wholely constructed in reinforced concrete.
[ photo: Bridge strengthening works, c.1955, courtesy State Library of Victoria ]
Work on the Chandler Highway Bridge has just begun. It was constructed to take two lines of rail track, though only one was laid, and consists of two through-type lattice truss girders supported on brick and bluestone piers. Its four spans are each about 30.5m. Adapted to road use in 1930, the bridge is now being converted for pedestrian and cycle use, with a new road bridge constructed alongside. We are working on the conservation of the original fabric.

Análisis del agronegocio de la cadena productiva de lácteos en Montería (Córdoba)
Doria Pestana, Joiver David | 2022-07-26
The dairy production chain is a complex system made up of different links, where the basic product is milk production. The objective of this work was the analysis of the agribusiness of the dairy production chain in Montería. The study was carried out in a participatory manner, with the different links of the productive chain, 80 farms located in 10 districts of the municipality of Montería, five collection centers and five processing companies were surveyed; questions were asked about the characteristics of the production units, production volumes and manufactured products, as well as the measurement of innovation through the Agricultural Innovation Survey (ENIAGRO); Similarly, 50 consumers were surveyed to find out product preferences; and finally the physicochemical, compositional and hygienic quality of the milk produced in the production units of the municipality of Montería was evaluated. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics; obtaining that the dairy production chain in Montería is made up mostly of small and medium producers, with a traditional subsistence activity and a medium level of schooling; they have insufficient infrastructure and tools to carry out their activities, one cause of this situation being the lack of investment on their own initiative or by the state, they have low productivity and little degree of associativity. In most of the milk samples evaluated, it was evidenced that the percentages of fat, protein, non-fat solids and total solids are higher than the minimum established by Decree 616 of 2006.

Gaziosmanpaşa (pronounced [ɡaːziosˈmanpaʃa]; old name: Taşlıtarla) is an impoverished working class municipality (belediye) and district of Istanbul, Turkey, on its European side. With a population of 400,000 plus, it is one of the most populous districts. In 2009 Gaziosmanpaşa district were the divided to three districts: Gaziosmanpaşa, the central; Sultangazi, the northern part and Arnavutköy, the northernmost part. Esenler and Bayrampaşa are at west, Sultangazi is at north and Eyüp is at south and east of district.
This was empty, stony pasture until the 1950s when immigrants from the Balkans (especially from Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Western Thrace) were settled here. Much of their housing was illegally built, primitive tiny cottages. Gaziosmanpaşa expanded rapidly during the 1970s and 80s due to migration from eastern Anatolia. The population is still growing with half the people under 20 years old. NBA's Orlando Magic star, Hedo Türkoğlu, who played in the 2009 NBA Finals, was born in the district. The NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers center Semih Erden was also born in the district.
Gaziosmanpaşa today[edit]
The centre of Gaziosmanpaşa is still inhabited by the descendents of the 1950s and 1960s Balkan immigrants. Now most of the original illegal houses are being pulled down and replaced with semi-legal blocks of flats, to house the children and grandchildren.
Other areas, often isolated communities far out of the city, are dominated by populations of migrants from Anatolia. These areas are an ethnic, religious and political melting pot. In particular, one area of Gaziosmanpaşa has a substantial population of migrants from Tunceli Province, a province mainly populated by people who claim both Kurdish and Zaza identities. The mixture of people plus the number of young people in the communities has at times given Gaziosmanpaşa the unfortunate reputation for being the centre of crime and of left and right wing violence in Istanbul, with many Istanbul people referring to the area as 'little Colombia'.
The city council is trying to spend its way out of this situation by putting in sports facilities, theatres, shopping centres and better transport to the city. But still more and more housing is being built. As the area has grown without sufficient control or regulations the city is still struggling to put in schools and other infrastructure throughout Gaziosmanpaşa to support the population, while industrial development is taking place too.
The area itself suffers from unemployment despite the industry coming in, and the main employers are small workshops producing light fittings, electrical goods, clothing, lathe and metalwork and car repairs.
The district was named after Gazi Osman Pasha, a prominent Ottoman general who had been active in the Balkans.

When it comes to exfoliating your skin, salt scrubs and sugar scrubs are two popular options. Both provide numerous benefits and help to reveal smooth and healthy-looking skin. But what are the differences between these two types of scrubs, and which one is right for your specific needs? In this post, we will explore the benefits of salt scrubs and sugar scrubs, helping you make an informed decision.
Salt scrubs are typically made with coarse salt granules, such as sea salt or Himalayan salt. Here are some of the key benefits of using salt scrubs:
- Exfoliation: The granules in salt scrubs are larger and more abrasive, making them ideal for removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. This deep exfoliation can leave your skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.
- Detoxification: Salt has natural detoxifying properties, which can help draw out impurities and toxins from your skin. This makes salt scrubs especially beneficial for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
- Improved Circulation: The abrasive nature of salt scrubs stimulates blood flow to the skin's surface, promoting better circulation. Increased blood flow can aid in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, resulting in a healthier complexion.
Sugar scrubs, on the other hand, are made with granulated sugar, often mixed with oils or other natural ingredients. Let's explore the benefits of using sugar scrubs:
- Gentler Exfoliation: Sugar granules are smaller and less abrasive than salt, making sugar scrubs a better option for sensitive or delicate skin. They effectively remove dead skin cells without causing irritation or micro-tears.
- Hydration: Sugar scrubs have a natural humectant property, meaning they help retain moisture in the skin. The sugar granules dissolve during exfoliation, leaving behind a soft, hydrated feeling on your skin.
- Nourishment: Many sugar scrubs contain nourishing ingredients like oils, vitamins, or antioxidants that provide additional benefits to your skin. These ingredients can help replenish and rejuvenate the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and supple.
Ultimately, the choice between salt scrubs and sugar scrubs depends on your skin type and personal preferences. If you have oily or acne-prone skin and prefer a more intense exfoliation, salt scrubs may be the right choice for you. However, if you have sensitive skin and desire a gentler exfoliation with added hydration, sugar scrubs might be a better fit. Experiment with both types to see which one your skin responds to best, and enjoy the benefits of smoother, healthier skin!

Toolchain and Buildroot
uClibc developers provide tools to generate toolchains and root filesystems with the uClibc standard C library.
The Toolchain tool allows to generate a toolchain for a variety of architectures, including MIPS and MIPSel.
The Buildroot tool allows to generate both a toolchain and a root filesystem for a variety of architectures, including MIPS and MIPSel. Using a configuration tool (similar to the one used for the Linux Kernel), you can select compiler version, binutils version, and all softwares that should be included in the root filesystem. Then the Makefiles will automatically download, configure, compile, install and generate the toolchain and the root filesystem image.

How to show/hide a broken window
In the course of mitigating the incident, your responders may open doors and break windows. You can show this effect using environment variables in the same way as the instructions relate in "How to embed a victim in a node/location". That article gives the background information about environment variables, as well as the article "Adding Environment or Participant Variables".
As a follow-on to this article, if you want to show or hide smoke as a result of breaking the window, see our article "How to Change the State Programmatically."
Essential Idea
The essential elements you will need to add a broken window are:
 1. A picture of the location with the window intact
 2. A picture of the window broken
 3. An environment variable that will say whether the window is intact or broken.
Pictures typically come out of digital cameras at a high resolution, at least 180 or 300 dpi, and often more than 1000 pixels wide. For screen rendering, you can reduce the dpi to 72, and the overall size (for a picture filling the whole screen) to 640x480. You should reduce your broken window picture (item #2, above) by the same proportion as you reduce the node/location photo.
Note: You can resize the image inside of Flash, but that does not reduce the picture's dpi--it only scales the photo down. This means the photo still takes up the larger space. Larger space is not bad in itself, but it then requires more bandwith to transmit around your network, so there can be loading delays. Therefore, we recommend smaller sizes.
The essential idea is to create a Movie Clip with your broken window picture, and create an environment variable to hold the status of the clip as visible or invisible. Then you will add code to check the status of the variable when the movie first loads, as well as hook up a routine that detects when the value changes -- and you will tell the broken window clip to show or hide itself, depending on the value.
The steps are:
 1. Place your node photo at the bottommost layer of your movie.
 2. On a higher layer you will import your broken window graphic. Position the broken window exactly in the place you want it to appear, covering the intact window.
 3. Then, by choosing Modify > Convert to Symbol... (with the broken window selected), you convert it into a Movie Clip -- this allows it to be given an (instance) name to which we can refer (so we can write code to tell that instance to show or hide itself).
 4. Now give this instance an Instance Name (for example, "broken1").
 5. Create a new layer to hold the code that will tell the broken window to turn on or off.
 6. Open the Actions panel and enter the following code into the panel:
function eVarValChg (id, val) {
 if (id == "WINDOW1" && val == "true") {
 broken1._visible = true;
 } else if (id == "WINDOW1" && val == "false") {
 broken1._visible = false;
var win1Val = _parent._parent.getEnvironVar("WINDOW1");
if (win1Val == "true") {
 broken1._visible = true;
} else {
 broken1._visible = false;
There are two blocks of code to explain. In the first block, the code that begins with function eVarValChg defines a routine that CommandSim knows to call if an environment variable changes (for example, the instructor sets the value of a variable). Whenever a variable changes, the variable name (the message) is passed in as id and as well as the new value (val). The next line checks to see if the message is WINDOW1, which will be the name of our environment variable. If it is, then the routine sets the visibility of the broken window Movie Clip to visible (true) or invisible (false), depending on whether the value coming in is true or false.
The second block is an instruction to execute when the movie first loads. Instead of waiting to be told the value of WINDOW1, it queries CommandSim for the value, and based on the value, it sets the broken window MovieClip to visible or invisible.
The preceding steps have taken care of all the things we need to do in the node's Flash file. Now we have to add the environment variable WINDOW1 to our scenario definition.
The simplest way is to open the Scenario Designer tool and choose the STATES & VARIABLES tab. In this tab on the top right is an area in which you can create or modify environment variables. When you click to add an environment variable, it will ask you for the name (which is what instructors see, and may have spaces), the id (in our example, WINDOW1) which cannot have spaces, and the starting value. Type in a name, type in WINDOW1 for the id, and make the starting value false if you want the broken window to be invisible by default, or true if you want to start the scenario with the window broken already.
Once you save your scenario file, and then use the ServerFilePrep tool to package it into a form for the server, you are all done. When you load the instructor panel next, you should see your environment variable in the STATES & VARIABLES tab on the instructor panel. If you click the name, the current value will appear in the box below. You can enter the new value (true or false), then press the Do It button. The clock must be running (not paused) for the new value to take effect.
Note: if you prefer to make the change directly in the scenario XML file (without using the Scenario Designer), you can add the following to your scenario definition file, replacing the line that reads

We strongly urge you to make a backup copy of the scenario definition file before you edit it, in case you enter an incorrect character or accidentally delete something important. Flash is unforgiving with errors in XML files.
For an example of this, you can use the example file from the article "How to embed a victim in a node/location".

How do you know when a Peruvian avocado is ripe?
TIP: The best way to tell if your avocado is ripe is by feel. TIP: If your avocados aren't quite ripe enough to eat, simply place them in a paper bag with another fruit like a banana or apple. Place the bag near a window and the fruit gasses will ripen the avocado.
How do you know when Hass avocados are ready to pick?
Internally, the seed coat turns from ivory to dark brown upon maturity. To determine fruit maturity, pick one of the larger fruits and keep it at room temperature until it softens. It is mature if it softens to good consistency, is not tough and leathery or bitter, does not shrink or shrivel, and is good to eat.
Are avocados from Peru safe to eat?
Washington, DC May 17, 2017— Following the 2016 USDA announcement claiming Hass Avocados are a "healthy" food, the AHA has now granted the Peruvian Avocado Commission certification rights to the Heart-Check mark for its marketing promotions and campaigns.
Are Hass avocados from Peru?
While both the imported Mexican and Peruvian avocados are Hass varieties, there are crucial differences in the climate in which these avocados are grown. In Peru, avocados are grown in an arid climate with the help of intensive irrigation infrastructure.
What Peruvians call avocados?
Palta is one of the most common names to call avocado in Spanish. They call it palta in Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina.
Should you refrigerate avocados?
Avoid avocados that feel mushy or have dents and dips in the skin. Once ripe, eat the avocado in the next day or two, or store it whole and uncut in the refrigerator for up to three days. Cold slows down ripening, so don't buy unripe avocados and put them in the refrigerator. They won't ripen properly, if at all.
How many times a year does an avocado tree bear fruit?
How many fruit will a mature tree produce in one year? It is possible for an avocado tree to produce 200 to 300 fruit per tree once it is about 5-7 years of age. The avocado tree, however, alternates bearing. This means that the tree may produce a large crop one year, and then produce a small crop the following year.
How long do Hass avocados take to mature?
Hass avocado trees will start producing fruit in roughly five years. The avocados will not begin to ripen until you pluck them from the tree, so leave them hanging until you need them.
Does it take 9 months to grow an avocado?
Two Crops of Avocados Yep, that also means it takes an avocado 12-18 months to grow and become ready to eat. The avocados you see at the grocery store or farmers' market took 12-18 months to grow and mature. It's no wonder they're so delicious – they're similar to a nice, maturing wine or tasty aged steak.
Where are avocados grown in Peru?
Growing Conditions Our Peruvian avocados enjoy a Mediterranean climate and are grown along picturesque beaches in the highlands off the northern coast and central desert regions.
What percentage of avocados come from Mexico?
Mexico supplies 45 percent of the international avocado market. Of the 57 avocado producing countries, the other major producers are Dominican Republic, Peru, Colombia, and Indonesia in that order.
Does Peru grow avocados?
Peru's avocado crop for the 2021 calendar year is estimated at 560,000 tons. Peru grows mainly two types of avocados. Most avocado farms can be found along Peru's desert coast. Larger producers use water from the Andes via federal water channels.
What is a giant avocado?
The giant avocado, dubbed the "avozilla" – which has been making the rounds on social media – can weigh anywhere between 800 grams to 1.3 kilograms. By comparison, a regular Hass avocado weighs around 170 grams.
What is avocado in India?
In India, avocado is not a commercial fruit crop. It was introduced from Sri Lanka in the early part of the twentieth century. In a very limited scale and in a scattered way it is grown in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Karnataka in the south-central India and in the eastern Himalayan state of Sikkim.
Does Mexico grow avocados?
National production has grown 8% annually since 2009; the country produced 2.2 million tons of avocados in 2018 alone. Although the majority of Mexico's avocados come from the state of Michoacán, the avocado boom is now pushing into other regions – a move that may threaten the country's forests.

The DOE Technical Assistance Partnerships (TAP) program promotes CHP technology solutions for the industrial and manufacturing sector, critical infrastructure, institutions, commercial facilities, and utilities seeking to reap the many benefits of CHP. Building upon previous TAP program successes, HARC will manage program activities in eleven states over the next five years. The Southcentral TAP Region includes Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, with DOE funding of about $2.7 million. Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota comprise the Upper West TAP Region, funded with $1.48 million from DOE.
DOE TAPs promote the many advantages of CHP with technical resources to assist in evaluation and installation of CHP systems. While CHP is widely known for improving energy efficiency, it is increasingly recognized as a way to make facilities more resilient against power outages. Natural disasters in recent years have underscored the importance of resilient energy infrastructure for continuity of operations, especially for critical facilities such as hospitals, college campuses, and governmental installations.


how can i make my own firesteel?
is there any way i can make a small firesteel keyring and if there is can you post a link to instructions for it!!! thanks!!!
How to make the stick itself? You can't. It's patented. Flint is just as good. Magnesium and flint is better. Go to the camping section and buy a magnesium fire starter+flint for $3.
jonjones484 years ago
fire-steel is actually not easy to make. fire steel is an "pyrophoric. usually fire-steel is made by extruding an alloy of: A) cadmium-iron-carbon B) boron-phporus-iron-carbon C) boron-manganese-iron-carbon and so on... they're steel rods softened by an additive and/or have increased flamabily from another additive.
haulbag4 years ago
I once had a "Mountain Man" at a Boy Scout encampment show us how to make fire steel. First, he had taken an old garage door spring, heated it, and let the high-carbon steel slowly cool to take the temper out of it. He then heated it and straightened it out while it was hot. Then, he cut it into 8 to 10 inch sections. Next, he heated coal in about a 24 inch diameter metal bowl-like contraption used for blacksmithing. He threw the rods of steel into the coal and heated it with a bellows until the steel pieces glowed red. We then used tongs to pull out a piece and shaped it with hammers and pliers into a semi-flattened, C-like shape that would fit around the knuckles of your hand and grip your index and pinky fingers. Then we reheated the metal to glowing red. Next, we took out the steel piece and dropped it into cold water to temper it.
To use it to light charcloth, you put the steel around your fist and strike it on something hard and sharp-edged, like a chipped piece of flint. Here's an excellent article about making charcloth:
I suppose this would also work if you just left the steel in the shape of a straight rod and scraped it with a sharp knife or other hard and sharp-edged implement. It is the burning bits of steel, and not the flint, that makes the spark.


Adobe AEM (CQ5) and OpenText TeamSite: 10 things in common
Share Button
Among enterprise-class web experience management systems, the two most sophisticated systems that are often pitted against each other are HP TeamSite and Adobe Experience Manager. Both Forrester and Gartner rank these products highly and often place them as leaders in the digital experience (aka content marketing/ web experience management/digital engagement/ customer experience management) space.
Technologically, at their core, the products are very different. A developer may cringe to read "similar" and these product names in the same sentence. However, we are going to look at it from the perspective of a business user – a marketer who potentially uses this system versus a technical administrator or developer.
From a business perspective, they tend to serve a similar purpose for a similar audience. They both provide a way to manage, engage and measure digital customer experiences (See Forrester's Wave report or Gartner's Magic Quadrant)
In this blog, we talk about the common features between the HP TeamSite and Adobe Experience Manager (previously called CQ or CQ5).
1. Authoring & Publishing:
Both systems have an authoring and a rendering platform. Business Users author content by using a web browser. Content is activated/pushed/published/deployed to a separate runtime environment (server or group of servers) that renders and serves content to web visitors.
2. Page templates:
They both provide page templates and have a rendering process to display content. A Page template could be an empty shell or packed with business+design logic – allowing developers to create the necessary authoring experience.
3. Mobile friendly/Mobile First:
They both allow you to create Mobile versions of a website and provide emulators to preview content in various devices. Of course, client-side Responsive, or RWD is supported by both systems.
For adaptive design – where the server determines the HTML to be sent to the user's device, TeamSite uses Trilibis. Adobe Experience Manager uses similar HTML tags for rendering device specific content as explained here.
4. Page construction model:
They both use a page 'fragment model'. You build a webpage from smaller pieces of the page called "Components". AEM's Component model is more sophisticated as it allows a rich "clientlib" architecture that allows CSS and JS pre-processors. This means, with the right architecture, you can control and optimize your page footprint for faster performance. TeamSite, on the other hand, depends on client-side logic including newer fameworks like React.js to be used that more or less achieve the same result.
5. Dynamic content:
Both allow you to dynamically pull content from their respective content repositories and transform the content to meet web-page needs. AEM uses OSGi Bundles that allows you to do powerful java based processing, while TeamSite has a POJO like concept using Java 'externals'. From a business perspective, suffice it to know that they both provide "back-end" frameworks to integrate with other systems.
6. Workflows:
They both provide workflows to meet content governance needs. Their workflow management and development tools are built into the product, requiring no separate installations.
7. Multi-variate Testing:
They both allow you to do MVT and A/B testing. TeamSite has an add-on module called Optimost that lets you create such Tests. Adobe AEM's Test&Target module achieves the same.
8. Segmentation and targeting:
They both allow you to segment and target audience and provide customizable content depending on business rules.
9. Taxonomy management:
They both allow content to be Tagged. Tagging of content allows easy search and classification of content based on customizable taxonomies.
10. Customizable and (yes) Expensive:
Last, but not least, they are both intended to satisfy complex requirements, as is often the case for large organizations. They are both highly configurable which is both a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. The extensible nature of these products and the bells and whistles they provide are also a reason for their high licensing costs.

NDCG (normalized discounted cumulative gain) metric.
Inherits From: Metric
Calculates NDCG@k for a given set of top_k values calculated from a list of gains (relevance scores) that are sorted based on the associated predictions. The top_k_list can be passed as part of the NDCG metric config or using tfma.MetricsSpec.binarize.top_k_list if configuring multiple top_k metrics. The gain (relevance score) is determined from the value stored in the 'gain_key' feature. The value of NDCG@k returned is a weighted average of NDCG@k over the set of queries using the example weights.
NDCG@k = (DCG@k for the given rank)/(DCG@k DCG@k = sum_{i=1}^k gain_i/log_2(i+1), where gain_i is the gain (relevance score) of the i^th ranked response, indexed from 1.
This is a query/ranking based metric so a query_key must also be provided in the associated tfma.MetricsSpec.
gain_key Key of feature in features dictionary that holds gain values.
top_k_list Values for top k. This can also be set using the tfma.MetricsSpec.binarize.top_k_list associated with the metric.
name Metric name.
compute_confidence_interval Whether to compute confidence intervals for this metric.
Note that this may not completely remove the computational overhead involved in computing a given metric. This is only respected by the jackknife confidence interval method.

This is a very common question asked, and the answer is Yes... and No.
On flat ground, with an S or M type soil, a slab will be the cheaper option. However, where soil quality is poor or affected by trees or ground movement, a raised floor will often be cheaper.
On sloping sites, where fill is over 500-600mm, a raised home will often be the most cost-effective option. Where fill is needed, concrete piers need to run through the fill into natural ground. The amount of concrete required can be very expensive. Similarly, where sloping sites have slope stability issues, these piers can be extremely large and expensive.
Another question arises whether garages should be raised or built on an in-filled slab. This is where blockwork is laid and in-filled with compressed soil, in which a slab is laid on top. Personally, I saw the in-filled slab method used for years when I started working with builders. Then I realised that:
a) it was much cheaper to keep the garage floor raised and only block the driveway level with the garage,
b) in-filled slabs often sank as the soil further compressed over time. This resulted in cracking in the slab and walls pulling away from the main home.
Demographics also play a part in deciding between slab and raised options. In rural areas, or areas where labour and/or concrete is very expensive, a raised floor option will be cheaper.
If owner-building, a raised floor generally works out comparable to concrete.
Generally, anything on a flat residential block is built on a slab. Most homes on semi-rural, rural or sloping sites are build with a raised floor.

Data-mining-based system for prediction of water chemistry faults
Industrial Electronics, IEEE Transactions on
Fault monitoring and prediction is of prime importance in process industries. Faults are usually rare, and, therefore, predicting them is difficult. In this paper, simple and robust alarm-system architecture for predicting incoming faults is proposed. The system is data driven, modular, and based on data mining of merged data sets. The system functions include data preprocessing, learning, prediction, alarm generation, and display. A hierarchical decision-making algorithm for fault prediction has been developed. The alarm system was applied for prediction and avoidance of water chemistry faults (WCFs) at two commercial power plants. The prediction module predicted WCFs (inadvertently leading to boiler shutdowns) for independent test data sets. The system is applicable for real-time monitoring of facilities with sparse historical fault data.

Abstract : In this thesis, a study of the atomization of cylindrical water jets with tools belonging to the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems is proposed. This original study begin with an introduction on the field of atomization and the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. The first part of this work allows to define precisely the measured quantity recorded by a light scattering technique, by means of analytic and numerical computations. An artefact on the measurements, limitating their interpretation for an excited and a free water jet, is identified. However, the first results are in agreement with the theories (Rayleigh and Weber) and show that the dynamics of perturbations, evolving along the jet, is characterised by "intermittent bursts".
To remove the artefact, a shadow technique is developped and compared to the precedent one. The measurements are then shown to be linearly related to the jet diameter for any perturbation amplitude. Type-I phase intermittency is pointed out. In the case of free jets, this intermittency is also observed although in a less obvious way. When the flow velocity profile acts as the principal components on the jet breakup mechanisms, the deterministic dynamics is lost. In this case, we also observe that early initiations of perturbations imply a reducing of the breakup length.
A statistical symbolic dynamics allows to precise the nature of the behaviours observed for different control parameters in the case of free jets : the dynamics of the jet subject to the velocity profile action, which can be seen as a destabilisation of the flow toward turbulence, is of stochastic nature ; while deterministic dynamics could be described by a complete binary symbolic dynamics.
Key words : Nonlinear dynamical systems - Phase intermittency - Symbolic dynamics - Instability - Cylindrical liquid jet - Shadow/Extinction technique - Atomization.

text: Spherical microphone arrays facilitate spatial analysis of sound fields. At the high frequencies the array performance is limited by spatial aliasing. In this paper we present a method to extend the bandwidth of the array through optimal aliasing cancellation. The advantage and novelty of the proposed method is that aliasing cancellation is achieved through signal processing without physically modifying configuration of the spherical microphone array. In this work we show that by taking into account the expected aliasing pattern with respect to the given array sampling scheme, a beamformer which suppresses the grating-lobes can be designed. This beamformer achieves a higher directivity-index at frequencies previously considered as out of the microphone array operating range, therefore increasing the overall frequency range of operation. A simulation example with a 32 elements spherical microphone array illustrate the proposed method.
