Find file structure APIedit
This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will apply best effort to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.
Finds the structure of a text file. The text file must contain data that is suitable to be ingested into Elasticsearch.
Requestedit
POST _ml/find_file_structure
Prerequisitesedit
 - If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have monitor_ml or monitor cluster privileges to use this API. See Security privileges.
Descriptionedit
This API provides a starting point for ingesting data into Elasticsearch in a format that is suitable for subsequent use with other machine learning functionality.
Unlike other Elasticsearch endpoints, the data that is posted to this endpoint does not need to be UTF-8 encoded and in JSON format. It must, however, be text; binary file formats are not currently supported.
The response from the API contains:
 - A couple of messages from the beginning of the file.
 - Statistics that reveal the most common values for all fields detected within the file and basic numeric statistics for numeric fields.
 - Information about the structure of the file, which is useful when you write ingest configurations to index the file contents.
 - Appropriate mappings for an Elasticsearch index, which you could use to ingest the file contents.
All this information can be calculated by the structure finder with no guidance. However, you can optionally override some of the decisions about the file structure by specifying one or more query parameters.
Details of the output can be seen in the examples.
If the structure finder produces unexpected results for a particular file, specify the explain query parameter. It causes an explanation to appear in the response, which should help in determining why the returned structure was chosen.
Query parametersedit
charset
(Optional, string) The file's character set. It must be a character set that is supported by the JVM that Elasticsearch uses. For example, UTF-8, UTF-16LE, windows-1252, or EUC-JP. If this parameter is not specified, the structure finder chooses an appropriate character set.
column_names
(Optional, string) If you have set format to delimited, you can specify the column names in a comma-separated list. If this parameter is not specified, the structure finder uses the column names from the header row of the file. If the file does not have a header role, columns are named "column1", "column2", "column3", etc.
delimiter
(Optional, string) If you have set format to delimited, you can specify the character used to delimit the values in each row. Only a single character is supported; the delimiter cannot have multiple characters. If this parameter is not specified, the structure finder considers the following possibilities: comma, tab, semi-colon, and pipe (|).
explain
(Optional, boolean) If this parameter is set to true, the response includes a field named explanation, which is an array of strings that indicate how the structure finder produced its result. The default value is false.
format
(Optional, string) The high level structure of the file. Valid values are ndjson, xml, delimited, and semi_structured_text. If this parameter is not specified, the structure finder chooses one.
grok_pattern
(Optional, string) If you have set format to semi_structured_text, you can specify a Grok pattern that is used to extract fields from every message in the file. The name of the timestamp field in the Grok pattern must match what is specified in the timestamp_field parameter. If that parameter is not specified, the name of the timestamp field in the Grok pattern must match "timestamp". If grok_pattern is not specified, the structure finder creates a Grok pattern.
has_header_row
(Optional, boolean) If you have set format to delimited, you can use this parameter to indicate whether the column names are in the first row of the file. If this parameter is not specified, the structure finder guesses based on the similarity of the first row of the file to other rows.
line_merge_size_limit
(Optional, unsigned integer) The maximum number of characters in a message when lines are merged to form messages while analyzing semi-structured files. The default is 10000. If you have extremely long messages you may need to increase this, but be aware that this may lead to very long processing times if the way to group lines into messages is misdetected.
lines_to_sample
(Optional, unsigned integer) The number of lines to include in the structural analysis, starting from the beginning of the file. The minimum is 2; the default is 1000. If the value of this parameter is greater than the number of lines in the file, the analysis proceeds (as long as there are at least two lines in the file) for all of the lines.
The number of lines and the variation of the lines affects the speed of the analysis. For example, if you upload a log file where the first 1000 lines are all variations on the same message, the analysis will find more commonality than would be seen with a bigger sample. If possible, however, it is more efficient to upload a sample file with more variety in the first 1000 lines than to request analysis of 100000 lines to achieve some variety.
quote
(Optional, string) If you have set format to delimited, you can specify the character used to quote the values in each row if they contain newlines or the delimiter character. Only a single character is supported. If this parameter is not specified, the default value is a double quote ("). If your delimited file format does not use quoting, a workaround is to set this argument to a character that does not appear anywhere in the sample.
should_trim_fields
(Optional, boolean) If you have set format to delimited, you can specify whether values between delimiters should have whitespace trimmed from them. If this parameter is not specified and the delimiter is pipe (|), the default value is true. Otherwise, the default value is false.
timeout
(Optional, time units) Sets the maximum amount of time that the structure analysis make take. If the analysis is still running when the timeout expires then it will be aborted. The default value is 25 seconds.
timestamp_field
(Optional, string) The name of the field that contains the primary timestamp of each record in the file. In particular, if the file were ingested into an index, this is the field that would be used to populate the @timestamp field.
If the format is semi_structured_text, this field must match the name of the appropriate extraction in the grok_pattern. Therefore, for semi-structured file formats, it is best not to specify this parameter unless grok_pattern is also specified.
For structured file formats, if you specify this parameter, the field must exist within the file.
If this parameter is not specified, the structure finder makes a decision about which field (if any) is the primary timestamp field. For structured file formats, it is not compulsory to have a timestamp in the file.
timestamp_format
(Optional, string) The Java time format of the timestamp field in the file.
Only a subset of Java time format letter groups are supported:
 - a
 - d
 - dd
 - EEE
 - EEEE
 - H
 - HH
 - h
 - M
 - MM
 - MMM
 - MMMM
 - mm
 - ss
 - XX
 - XXX
 - yy
 - yyyy
 - zzz
Additionally S letter groups (fractional seconds) of length one to nine are supported providing they occur after ss and separated from the ss by a ., , or :. Spacing and punctuation is also permitted with the exception of ?, newline and carriage return, together with literal text enclosed in single quotes. For example, MM/dd HH.mm.ss,SSSSSS 'in' yyyy is a valid override format.
One valuable use case for this parameter is when the format is semi-structured text, there are multiple timestamp formats in the file, and you know which format corresponds to the primary timestamp, but you do not want to specify the full grok_pattern. Another is when the timestamp format is one that the structure finder does not consider by default.
If this parameter is not specified, the structure finder chooses the best format from a built-in set.
The following table provides the appropriate timeformat values for some example timestamps:
Timeformat Presentation
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ
2019-04-20 13:15:22+0000

Hand Bearing Compasses
Plastimo Iris
The Plastimo Iris 50 is a hockey puck style hand bearing compass with good reviews from our customers.
What they do
A hand bearing compass is used to measure the magnetic direction of sighted objects relative to the user. Two key questions you ask yourself while on the water usually concern your heading and your position. A steering compass tells you where you are going but its smaller sibling, the hand bearing compass, holds the answer to where you are. Unlike a GPS receiver that does the same–perhaps quicker, more conveniently and more precisely–the hand bearing compass does not rely on electrical power or satellite reception. It is a good backup and a formidable instrument for racing sailors to see who is sailing faster on the same tack or gybe.
How they work
A hand bearing compass allows you to take bearings of distant objects, which you can then transfer to a paper chart to create plot lines. Taking bearings of at least two objects that are 45 or more degrees apart results in intersecting lines on the chart, giving a position fix. To improve accuracy, we recommend taking bearings of three different objects and several sightings of each one and taking an average of the readings.
Hand Bearing Compasses
Different styles
We offer several different hand bearing compasses, either in "hockey puck style" or with pistol grips. High-end binoculars also come with bearing compasses, and many boaters prefer a good set of binoculars over a hand bearing compass, because they're easy to use.
How to take a bearing
To use an arm's-length compass (usually with a pistol grip), put the lanyard around your neck to stabilize the unit. Hold the compass at eye level, then line up the V-notches in the sighting vanes on the top of the compass with the desired object; now check the bearing on the compass card. If this sounds like juggling while walking across the street, you feel the same way we do. It can be tough to keep compass and sights lined up and checking some small numbers all at the same time. Add to that the motion of a boat in a seaway and poor visibility and you face long odds of taking an accurate bearing.
Hand Bearing Compasses
A better choice is a hockey puck style compass with an infinity prism that is held up to your cheek, and lets you sight across the top of a small prism. When you are focusing on the object in the distance, the prism projects the bearing into your field of vision so you don't have to shift your eyes. Object and bearing are in focus at the same time, which is a tremendous asset for taking accurate bearings in rough conditions.
Operating a digital compass is very much like taking a snapshot. You use the unit's aiming system to take the sight, then press a button. The compass stores the bearing in electronic memory for future recall.
Avoiding a Collision
Hand Bearing Compasses
Take a bearing upon first sighting another approaching vessel, like a ship. Take a second bearing a few minutes later and repeat at regular intervals. If the approaching ship's bearing remains the same, you are at risk of a collision. It their bearing has changed, rotate so you are sighting along the original bearing. If you're now looking at the water in front of the ship, you'll pass ahead of it. Sighting behind the vessel means it will pass ahead of you.
What to look for
 - Compactness: We really like the models that are comfortable to wear around your neck on a lanyard and fit easily in a pocket, so you can keep them nearby.
 - Night Lighting: Like other navigation instruments, bearing compasses should have night-lights. Some use small battery-powered lamps. Others have glow-in-the-dark lighting which uses small quantities of photosensitive or radioactive gas. We like this type best because it is ready at a moment's notice, and never needs charging or new batteries.
 - Accuracy: A precisely graduated card and excellent damping are critical for obtaining accurate sights. On a moving boat, most people can get a bearing accurate to 2-3 degrees using a well-damped, infinity prism compass that is held near the cheek. In a seaway, pistol grip compasses that are held at arm's-length are probably accurate to about 10 degrees. Sources of error that affect the quality of your bearing include inaccurate aiming, violent motion, steel-rimmed glasses and bad visibility.


Redial: Interactive Telephony : Week 8
Getting outside the phone: Objects and Displays
We have talked quite a bit about the power of the voice and our relationship to it as humans. Quite a bit is being done at ITP in the realm of new interfaces and displays which is equally as exciting. In this class we will explore the possibilities for combining these.
Objects
We know that with Asterisk, we have powerful means to access data on the network and the ability to interact with that data. What if we took the next step, using physical objects also connected to the network and utilized the phone as interface to those objects?
This is pretty easily accomplished using Asterisk/AGI/PHP on one side and Arduino/Xport on the other. Combining these two gives us the ability to give voice to our projects or allow them to be controlled with a simple phone call and something like touch tone.
How to
Kate Hartman put together a great page with sample code for how to accomplish this.
Examples
Christin Roman's Telebunny
Botanicalls
something more than: Kam Kam Mobile Alert
Ideas
Home Automation, Alarm System, Monitoring, anything!
Displays
Processing is great for developing single user, rich graphical applications. What if we could use processing to drive a multiple user display that was controllable by a simple phone call?
Asterisk + Processing
Dan Shiffman put together a nice tutorial and a bunch of sample code that helps us get started.
In his example, Dan is using Java as the language to create an AGI script (as opposed to PHP which we have been using up to this point). He is also using something called EAGI which is the Enhanced Asterisk Gateway Interface which allows us to get at the actual audio data of the call (normal AGI does not).
Unfortunately, there is a little quirk with using Java and EAGI in that Java needs to open a special file on the file system that allows it to access the live audio stream. This file is identified by the "process id" of the EAGI application and Java does give us the means to access this information. Therefore we have to use a little shell script to launch the Java process instead of launching the Java application directly.
NET-ID_extensions.conf:
[redial_NET-ID]
exten => s,n,EAGI(/path/toyour/shellscript/runEAGI.sh); Pointing to shell script with EAGI

Shell Script (runEAGI.sh):
#!/bin/sh
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/java -classpath /path/toyour/javaclass/ JEAGIClient $$

The $$ in the shell script is the actual process id and it is being passed to the Java application as if it were a command line argument.
To actually run this example we first need to download Dan's example files: JEAGI Client: JEAGIClient.java, Client.java
JEAGI Server: JEAGIServer.java, ServerThread.java Processing examples: Asterisk.pde, AsteriskMulti.zip
Since EAGI/AGI processes are per call, we need to have a server running somewhere on the server deal with connections from Processing as well as from Asterisk and hand them back and forth. Dan created a JAEAGIServer.java application (which relies upon ServerThread.java) to communicate back and forth.
Servers need a port to listen on. In order for us not to step on eachother's toes, we need to use unique ports for servers. For this class we should use 9000 + our extension. For me this would be 9010, for you it might be 9232 or something like that.
You need to change this port in each of the applications (client, server and processing):
JEAGIServer:
int portNum = 9010;
Asterisk.pde:
client = new Client(this, "yourserver", 9010); // Port is whatever you set it up to be
JEAGIClient:
JEAGIClient jeagi = new JEAGIClient(Integer.parseInt(args[0]),"localhost",9010);
Finally we need to compile and run..
To compile Java on our Asterisk server we need to point to:
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/javac
This is the javac compiler (there is a built-in one that can just be used by calling javac but this one is newer).
Run this command in the directory containing all of the .java files from Dan:
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/javac *.java

Now we can start up the server process. Dan put the server class into a "package" so in order to run it we need to create a foler called "server" and then run it:
[sve204@asterisk javaagi]$ mkdir server
[sve204@asterisk javaagi]$ mv JEAGIServer.class server/.
[sve204@asterisk javaagi]$ mv ServerThread.class server/.
[sve204@asterisk javaagi]$ /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/java server.JEAGIServer
Server running at asterisk.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu/128.122.151.44 9010
Waiting for a new connection:

Assuming I setup my extensions.conf correctly, any calls that come in should show show up in the terminal window for this server. (You will probably also have to make the runEAGI.sh script executable by asterisk.)
/127.0.0.1:50968 connected.
Waiting for a new connection:
reading: sve204_gizmo,newcall
broadcasting: sve204_gizmo,newcall
reading: sve204_gizmo,2
broadcasting: sve204_gizmo,2
reading: sve204_gizmo,6
broadcasting: sve204_gizmo,6
reading: sve204_gizmo,#
broadcasting: sve204_gizmo,#
reading: sve204_gizmo,8
broadcasting: sve204_gizmo,8

Now we can run the processing code and connect to the same server.
First we need to configure the processing applet to connect to the correct server on the correct port:
 client = new Client(this, "asterisk.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu", 9010); // Port is whatever you set it up to be and asterisk.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu is the host name

In Dan's example, you will notice a snippet of code that looks like this:
if (client.available() > 0) {
messageFromServer = client.readString(); // Read it as a String
}

This is the snippet that receives the communication from the server. It comes in in the following format:
callerid,digitpressed

We can do a bit more than he is doing in his example by splitting these up and doing different things based on the digit that is pressed. Here is an example which moves a ball around the screen:
import processing.net.*;
// Declare a client
Client client;
// A String to hold whatever the server says
String messageFromServer = "Waiting for call.";
PFont f;
int x, y;
void setup() {
 size(600,200);
 frameRate(30);
 // Create the Client
 client = new Client(this, "asterisk.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu", 9010); // Port is whatever you set it up to be and asterisk.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu
 background(0);
 x = width/2;
 y = height/2;
}
void draw()
{
 background(0);
 // Display message from server
 fill(255);
 ellipse(x,y,50,50);
 // If there is information available to read from the Server
 if (client.available() > 0) {
 messageFromServer = client.readString(); // Read it as a String
 String[] parts = split(messageFromServer,",");
 if (parts.length > 0)
 {
 String part = trim(parts[1]);
 if (part.equals("1"))
 {
 x-=10;
 y-=10;
 }
 else if (part.equals("2"))
 {
 y-=10;
 }
 else if (part.equals("3"))
 {
 y-=10;
 x+=10;
 }
 else if (part.equals("*"))
 {
 x-=10;
 y+=10;
 }
 else if (part.equals("0"))
 {
 y+=10;
 }
 else if (part.equals("#"))
 {
 x+=10;
 y+=10;
 }
 }
 }
}

Dan also has an example which works with multiple callers.

text: This work encompasses an analytical procedure and experimental tests for the study of creep/recovery, stress relaxation, and viscoelastic behavior, focusing on the glassy state, of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy filament wound composites of distinct fiber orientation: 4, 4, and 4. The laminate with longitudinally aligned fibers did not show significant creep and its storage modulus was the highest in comparison to the other angles. Both creep and recovery responses were studied based on a Weibull distribution approach at two stress levels (2 and 5 MPa) and the results were found more comprehensive for the highest level. Stress relaxation modulus was calculated using 1% strain and decreased with the fiber orientation angle. The results were corroborated by those of isothermal tests based on non-linear regression.

Social protection and cash transfers to strengthen families affected by HIV and AIDS
Social protection in the form of cash transfers is receiving increasing recognition as an important part of a comprehensive AIDS response. The urgency of cash assistance for food purchases is underscored by emerging evidence on the interactions between nutrition and AIDS disease progression.
This monograph examines how social protection can be used to protect children and families affected by HIV and AIDS. It reviews evidence on the impacts of 10 unconditional cash transfer (UCT) programmes in southern and East Africa and 10 conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs in Latin America.
It also reviews key policy debates relevant to programme design, as well as debates around conditionality. The authors also consider the relative strengths and weaknesses of food transfers and nutrition programmes, public works, and microcredit and livelihoods programmes, and social services.

When the coaxial cable is in the near field of a center fed, 1/2 wavelength dipole and it does not run perpendicular to the antenna, it is subjected to imbalanced near field currents. The coupling effect will be cos $\theta$. The result is that the exterior braid of the coax may carry common mode current. OCF and end fed antennas also promote common mode current due to their inherent imbalance. Running the coax parallel to the dipole should be avoided.
The significance of the common mode current is dependent upon factors such as coax length, the grounding of the coax, common mode chokes, the frequency of operation, imbalance of the antenna, etc. Antenna modeling programs can be used to estimate the subseptibility of a particular configuration.
The effects of common mode currents can include RF shocks in the shack, interference with home electronics, coupling of nearby RFI into the antenna, alteration of antenna resonance/SWR and an alteration of the antenna pattern and gain.
A common mode choke at the feed point of the dipole and another one at the shack entrance or at least out of the near field of the antenna can be deployed to mitigate the effects. Ferrite based common mode chokes or 1:1 current baluns tend to be the best multiband performers. Some report success by burying the coax.
It is also helpful to avoid odd multiples of 1/4 wavelength coax as this promotes the formation of common mode currents. Note that the coax velocity factor does not come into play since this current is on the exterior of the braid. Instead, use a 0.95 to 0.97 velocity factor to account for the outer coaxial jacket.

 The diffusion and the electrical migration of ions in the molten alkali nitrates LiNO{sub 3}, NaNO{sub 3} and KNO{sub 3} and in their mixtures have been examined using stable or radio-active isotope indicators. This experimental works shows that there are large differences in the diffusion coefficients and the electric mobilities when they are compared using the Nernst-Einstein formula. An interpretive model has been put forward which shows the role played by poly-ionic displacements: in a salt AC the particles moving are not only the free ions A{sup -} and C{sup +} but also the groups [A{sub n}C{sub m}]{sup (m-n)+}... These results confirm the importance of electrostatic attraction and of the polarizability of the ions. This mechanisms, furthermore, explains the inversions of electrical mobilities often observed in liquid ionic media.

 2. Mixed hyperfine interaction in amorphous Fe-Zr sputtered films in external magnetic field - a 57Fe Moessbauer study

 Conventional 57 Fe-Moessbauer spectroscopy provides only information about the magnitude of the splitting QS in the case of electric quadrupole hyperfine interaction, but not on the sign of the main component of the electric field gradient (EFG) or the asymmetry parameter which are sensitive to the local environment of the 57 Fe nuclei. This kind of information is obtained by measurements in external magnetic fields. In the case of amorphous Fe-Zr sputtered films mixed hyperfine interaction leads to a clear change in the behaviour of the Zr-rich and the Fe-rich alloys, indicating the existence of magnetic clusters in the Fe-rich samples.

 3. Stabilisation and precision pointing quadrupole magnets in the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC)
 CERN Document Server
 Janssens, Stef; Linde, Frank; van den Brand, Jo; Bertolini, Alessandro; Artoos, Kurt
 This thesis describes the research done to provide stabilisation and precision positioning for the main beam quadrupole magnets of the Compact Linear Collider CLIC. The introduction describes why new particle accelerators are needed to further the knowledge of our universe and why they are linear. A proposed future accelerator is the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) which consists of a novel two beam accelerator concept. Due to its linearity and subsequent single pass at the interaction point, this new accelerator requires a very small beam size at the interaction point, in order to increase collision effectiveness. One of the technological challenges, to obtain these small beam sizes at the interaction point, is to keep the quadrupole magnets aligned and stable to 1.5 nm integrated r.m.s. in vertical and 5 nm integrated root mean square (r.m.s.) in lateral direction. Additionally there is a proposal to create an intentional offset (max. 50 nm every 20 ms with a precision of +/- 1 nm), for several quadrupole ma...
 4. The Role of Interaction Patterns with Hybrid Electric Vehicle Eco-Features for Drivers' Eco-Driving Performance.
 Science.gov (United States)
 Arend, Matthias G; Franke, Thomas
 2017-03-01
 The objective of the present research was to understand drivers' interaction patterns with hybrid electric vehicles' (HEV) eco-features (electric propulsion, regenerative braking, neutral mode) and their relationship to fuel efficiency and driver characteristics (technical system knowledge, eco-driving motivation). Eco-driving (driving behaviors performed to achieve higher fuel efficiency) has the potential to reduce CO 2 emissions caused by road vehicles. Eco-driving in HEVs is particularly challenging due to the systems' dynamic energy flows. As a result, drivers are likely to show diverse eco-driving behaviors, depending on factors like knowledge and motivation. The eco-features represent an interface for the control of the systems' energy flows. A sample of 121 HEV drivers who had constantly logged their fuel consumption prior to the study participated in an online questionnaire. Drivers' interaction patterns with the eco-features were related to fuel efficiency. A common factor was identified in an exploratory factor analysis, characterizing the intensity of actively dealing with electric energy, which was also related to fuel efficiency. Driver characteristics were not related to this factor, yet they were significant predictors of fuel efficiency. From the perspective of user-energy interaction, the relationship of the aggregated factor to fuel efficiency emphasizes the central role of drivers' perception of and interaction with energy conversions in determining HEV eco-driving success. To arrive at an in-depth understanding of drivers' eco-driving behaviors that can guide interface design, authors of future research should be concerned with the psychological processes that underlie drivers' interaction patterns with eco-features.

Background: Melasma, which is fairly common in Indians, causes significant emotional and psychological impact. A Hindi instrument would be useful to assess the impact of melasma on the quality of life in Indian patients. Objective: To create a semantic equivalent of the original MELASQOL questionnaire in Hindi and validate it. Methods: A Hindi adaptation of the original MELASQOL (Hi-MELASQOL) was prepared using previously established guidelines. After pre-testing, the Hi-MELASQOL questionnaire was administered to 100 women with melasma visiting the out-patient registration counter of Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi. These women were also administered a Hindi equivalent of the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) questionnaire. Melasma area severity index (MASI) of all the participants was calculated. Results: The mean MASI score was 20.0 ± 7.5 and Hi-MELASQOL score was 37.19 ± 18.15; both were highly, positively and significantly correlated. Reliability analysis showed satisfactory results. Physical health, emotional well-being and social life were the most adversely affected life domains. Limitations: It was a single-center study and the number of patients studied could have been larger. Conclusion: Hi-MELASQOL is a reliable and validated tool to measure the quality of life in Indians with melasma.

|Control of Voltage Source Inverter Using Multidimensional Feedback Quantization Modulator
Institute of Electrical and Control Engineering
|Feedback quantization;optimal control;three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI)
|This paper describes a novel switching signal generator for three-phase voltage source inverters. Unlike conventional space-vector pulsewidth modulation (SVPWM) which achieves three-phase input voltage by a combination of the basic space vectors, the proposed scheme produces optimal switching commands to minimize the filtered measure of quantization error. Under specific selections of the filter matrix and the quantization scheme, it is shown that the proposed modulator is equivalent to SVPWM. An experimental platform is built to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. It is shown that the switching number of the proposed method is reduced without sacrificing the harmonic distortion within the input frequency band under various reference signals.

Discovering Linkage Patterns among Web Services using Business Process Knowledge
Abstract. "Discovering relations among web services has been a fruitful research topic in services computing. Such relations are useful for service discovery, selection, composition, etc. The much information about web services is available, the better/more relations can be discovered. Based on the technical information provided in WSDL files, simple relations can be discovered. Finding more comprehensive relations requires additional information, such as semantic descriptions, information about service consumers, or service compositions. Rich semantic service descriptions are not so common in practice. Experiments have shown that similar users do not necessarily use the same web services. Using service compositions gives good results, however, researchers assume that they have access to such compositions, which is not the typical case in practice. Additionally, using service compositions is not sufficient to determine types and strengths of such relations. In this work, we propose a novel approach to discover relations among web services in the form of linkage patterns based on the configurations of business processes that use them. We specify types and weights of the discovered linkage patterns based on control flow patterns in business processes. We have implemented this approach using Oryx, a process modeling tool and repository, and Depot, a service registry, and validated it through real-world examples, as we show in this paper."

Vacuum tubes are widely used for various applications. These vacuum tubes are supplied by high voltage power supplies. The amount of delivered energy from the high voltage power supply to the vacuum tube is an important issue during the vacuum arc in the tube. The protection mechanism consists of a shunt crowbar which diverts the fault current from the tube to itself as a parallel path. Detection of the vacuum arc is crucial and only one sensor is usually employed to detect the vacuum arc. This characteristic intensifies the interference susceptibility of the vacuum arc diagnosis system in a noisy environment. As a result of the noise, the arc detection system can report false alarms. False...

Application base for simulators and software for study of complex systems
BASILES is the result of a cooperation led by CNES with SPACEBEL. It's a numerical simulation framework capable of designing and implementing advanced simulators. Since the creation of BASILES in 2004, CNES has used this framework to model the equipment and environment of many satellites, and to simulate their behavior during their missions. BASILES has proven its worth in the space sector but its applications extend beyond. Whether you are in the research or industry sector, BASILES can adapt to answer your problems.
Thus BASILES makes it possible to design, develop and exploit complex system simulations, by providing structuring components such as a sequencer (or kernel) and its services, model libraries, an automatic generator of the structural code (FTN, C, C++, java), a command interpreter, introspection and testing tools, and some GUI for the design, the execution and the exploitation of results. The infrastructure also offers a coding standard and a proven methodology to allow development using accepted industry standards.
In addition, BASILES makes it possible to distribute or divide the simulation on several machines, to reduce computing times, or to connect and to synchronize simulators of different types. BASILES can connect to a processor emulator or physical devices once the necessary interface is available.


Birnbaum, while a noted biographer of Japanese women and their works, reminds us that she is "not writing the woman's story this time around." Her duty to Foujita, she believes, makes it necessary for her to take his point of view in everything. Still, Birnbaum does an outstanding job of presenting her main thesis, exploring in intriguing detail the artist's dilemma as a man between two countries and two cultures, and in the process she gives a vivid picture of the international art scene during the World Wars, background vital for understanding many of today's cultural clashes, misunderstandings, and surprising fusions.

(Mimosa, Silk tree)
A large shrub or small tree, Albizia julibrissin is native to Iran to Japan. It is a fast-growing plant whose seedlings can become invasive. It can be seen growing in the wild in the southeastern U.S. and California in waste places, fields, and along roads.
However, its bipinnate, ferny leaves and fluffy pink flowerheads that cover the tree in summer make it a garden-worthy plant, as do the fragrance emitted by the flowers, which attract bees. Seed pods that resemble flat beans follow the flowers and persist into winter. Still, care should be used so that seeds from garden plants can't escape into the wild.

New scientific findings from an effort to restore fish spawning habitat for lake sturgeon, walleye, lake whitefish and other native fish in the St. Clair River will be shared during a public event in Algonac City Park on Aug. 28, 2012 at 11 a.m. Researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey Great Lakes Science Center and Michigan Sea Grant College Program will discuss how the construction of an acre of rock reefs placed on the river bottom is providing new hope for struggling fish species, such as lake sturgeon.
Scientists will share underwater video footage showing lake sturgeon spawning on the reefs even before the construction was complete, and will explain how such populations can be rebuilt by restoring fish habitat that was removed by previous modifications of the river system.
"The science said: 'If you build it, they will come,' but we hardly could have dreamed of such an enthusiastic reception to this newly created rocky habitat for sturgeon and other native fish of the Great Lakes," said USGS Director Marcia McNutt. "They started spawning on it while we were still dropping the rock! This success gives us hope for recovery for species that have endured many challenges to survival over the past decades."
Led by Michigan Sea Grant, the Middle Channel Reef Project is supported by grants from NOAA, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative through EPA, and the Huron-Erie Corridor Initiative partners. The new reefs are designed to enhance fish reproduction and rebuild native fish populations (lake sturgeon, lake whitefish, and walleye) in the channel connecting lakes Huron and Erie. USGS scientists, looking at factors such as water velocity and depth, developed a model to predict where to build fish habitat in the St. Clair River's Middle Channel.
"The fact that we are already observing sturgeon spawning on the Middle Channel Reefs helps validate the science that guided the planning, design and location of this project. We are all excited and appreciate the support from NOAA, EPA and others," said Dr. Jennifer Read, Assistant Director of Michigan Sea Grant and Principal Investigator of the Middle Channel Reef Project.
The St. Clair River effort is part of a long-term collaboration involving a team of scientists and partners, including federal, tribal, state, provincial, and private groups interested in restoring valuable native fish populations in the Huron-Erie Corridor; the international Corridor between the United States and Canada that connects southern Lake Huron, the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River, and western Lake Erie.
Officials from a number of federal, state and local agencies – including USGS, Michigan Sea Grant, the U.S. EPA Great Lakes National Program Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, NOAA, and Michigan Department of Natural Resources – will participate in the Algonac event and discuss how restoration efforts such as the St. Clair project support the economic vitality and ecological health of the region.
The Algonac event is free and open to the public. It will highlight a number of fish habitat restoration successes within the Huron-Erie Corridor, supported by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and others.
The Middle Channel Reef Project is the third of six spawning habitat projects to be constructed in the Detroit and St. Clair River Areas of Concern by 2014, with funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, NOAA and others. Earlier projects included the Belle Isle and Fighting Island projects constructed in the Detroit River, in 2004 and 2008, respectively. Project supporters and partners include: USGS, Michigan Sea Grant, EPA, NOAA, Smith Group JJR, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Faust Corporation, Michigan Wildlife Conservancy, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
See videos, photos and project updates about the Middle Channel Reef Project posted on the Huron-Erie Corridor website.

Kingdom of God? Guna Pictured in Lotus, Conch & Paired Fish
The lotus is South Asia's iconic flower. The lotus flower was a prominent symbol in ancient history, remaining so today. Lotus plants possess a unique structure in their leaves which provide a self-cleaning ability, allowing the flowers to emerge from mud untarnished. This natural trait created symbolic references of the flower as rising out of the mud, untouched by filth. The Rgveda first mentions the lotus in a metaphor (RV 5.LXVIII.7-9) where it seems to describe a wish for the safe birth of a child.
When Vishnu was the dwarf Vamana, his consort Lakshmi appeared from a lotus in the great churning sea as Padma, or Kamala, both of which mean "Lotus". Lakshmi maintains a close connection with the lotus, having her abode within the flowers themselves.
A Shankha is a Conch shell of ritual and religious importance. The Shankha is the shell of a large sea snail but in mythology the Shankha is the emblem of Vishnu and is often used as a trumpet.
The Lotus and the Shankha are two of the eight Ashtamangala (auspicious signs) teaching tools. They serve as illustrations or symbols for timeless qualities or gunas. Numerous texts discuss the concept of gunas, innate natural forces that together transform and keep changing the world. The three gunas in Samkhya thinking are: sattva (goodness, constructive, harmonious), rajas (passion, active, confused), and tamas (darkness, destructive, chaotic). Nyaya and Vaisheshika schools of thought allow for more gunas. How about the Kingdom of God as a guna?
The Lotus Flower illustrating Sattva, Rajas, Tamas Gunas in Samkhya thinking
Jesus saw the Kingdom of God as an operating quality, a guna, since it is organically changing and overcoming the world. He taught that we are invited into the Kingdom of God, but also needing Dvija to do so. He then gave a series of stories (called parables) on the nature or guna of the Kingdom of God using plants, Shankhas and paired fish (Ashtamangala signs) as his teaching tools to help us understand the guna of the Kingdom of God. Here are his parables of the Kingdom.
Parable of the Sower and the Four Soils
Matthew 13:1-9
Lotus seeds have a life force causing them to germinate
What did this parable mean? We do not have to guess, since he gave the meaning to those who asked:
Matthew 13:18-19
But these seeds cannot germinate on a trodden path
Matthew 13:20-21
The sun's heat can kill the life from the seed
Matthew 13:22
Other plants can hinder the growth of the Lotus flower
Matthew 13:23
In the right soil the Lotus plant will grow and multiply into beauty
There are four responses to the message of God's Kingdom. The first has no 'understanding' and so evil takes the message away from their hearts. The remaining three responses are all initially very positive and they receive the message with joy. But this message must grow in our hearts through difficult times. Mental acknowledgement without affecting our lives is insufficient. So two of these responses, though they initially received the message, did not allow it to grow in their heart. Only the fourth heart, who 'hears the word and understands it' would truly receive it in the way that God was looking for.
Jesus taught this parable so we would ask ourselves: 'Which of these soils am I?'
The Parable of the Weeds
After explaining this parable Jesus taught a parable using weeds.
28 "'An enemy did this,' he replied.
Matthew 13:24-30)
Wheat & Tares: Before ripening wheat and tares look the same
Here he explains this parable.
Matthew 13: 36-43
Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast
Jesus also taught some very brief parables with illustrations from other common plants.
Matthew 13:31-33
The Mustard seed is small.
Mustard plants grow lush and big
The Kingdom of God would start small and insignificant in this world but would grow throughout the world like yeast working through the dough and like a small seed growing into a large plant. It does not happen by force, or all at once, its growth is invisible but everywhere and unstoppable.
Parables of the Hidden Treasure and Pearl of Great Value
Matthew 13: 44 -46
Conch shells can contain great treasure but they are not seen
Inside some conch shells are pink pearls
Pink pearls are very valuable
These parables focus on the value of the Kingdom of God. Think of a treasure hidden in a field. Being hid everyone passing by the field thinks the field is of little value and thus they have no interest in it. But someone realizes there is a treasure there making the field very valuable – valuable enough to sell everything in order to buy it and obtain the treasure. So it is with the Kingdom of God – a value unnoticed by most, but the few that see its worth will gain great value.
The Parable of the Net
Kingdom of God will sort people as these fishermen at Goa
Jesus used another of the Ashtamangala – the pair of fish to teach about the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God will separate people into two groups as fishermen separate fish into two groups. This will happen on Judgment day.
The Kingdom of God grows mysteriously, like yeast in dough; with great value hidden from most; and it arouses diverse responses among people. It also separates people between those that understand and those that do not. After teaching these parables Jesus then asked his listeners this question.
"Have you understood all these things?" Jesus asked.
"Yes," they replied.
Matthew 13:51
What about you? If the Kingdom of God is understood as a Guna moving through the world it still is of no benefit to you unless it can move through you too. But how?
Jesus explains in his parable of Living Water like a Ganga Tirtha.

Tipster Alexandre Marion sends us a tip about the AutoCAD Block Attribute Manager command, better known as Battman.
"I've found a command called Battman (pretty easy to remember, right?) that lets you reorganize a block the way you want it, without having to enter the Block Editor. This really helps out in situations such as dealing with a block made by someone with no experience."
Notes from Cadalyst Tip Patrol: Battman is the command you want to use in AutoCAD to help you manage the block attributes of a specific block. It doesn't change the information that you put into a block that has attributes; it manages the attribute objects of a block instead.
To use it, type Battman on the Command line. This will bring up the Block Attribute Manager window. Select a block, then edit the settings of the attributes in that block. If you edit a block's attributes, remember to press the Sync button; this will update every instance of that block in your file.


Kitesurf in Sardinia
Post pubblicato il:
Kitesurf in Sardinia
What is kitesurf?
Kitesurf is the water sport that most increases regarding the number of people that practice it. It was born from the union of two amongst the most known water sports: windsurf and wakeboard. It is considered a trend now and in the near future.
This sport was spread by French and Hawaiian people at the end of 90' years and now you can see people kitesurfing almost in every beach or lake worldwide. Their colored sails zip through all water surfaces in the world where there is a bit of wind.
 Kitesurf is based on a very simple principle: it uses the wind as a propeller. The kitesurfer, using a bar with two ropes 30 meters long, move the kite to obtain the speed and direction desired. The boards are similar to those used by wakeboarders, and today there are many different types of boards to satisfy even the most discerning kitesurfer.
The pleasure this sport gives is to water plan, draw by the wind.
Why so many people practice kitesurf?
Kitesurf is probably so attractive because…it is easy to learn. It is much easier to learn than windsurf or wave surf. Probably kitesurf attracts always more people because you can learn pretty quickly how to water plan, jump and perform aerial manoeuvres.
The kite has a strong vertical traction, what allows not only to reach high speed but even take off sucked in by the wind, the main emotion kitesurfers look for.
Another advantage of this sport is the fact that the equipment needed is not awkward and it is easy to be transported in the car luggage compartment, with no need to carry boards over the top of the car. It has a big advantage over windsurf, which equipment includes tree, goose-neck and extensions.
The kite can be fold and fits into a backpack. The kitesurf board is not bulking and the ropes can be rolled around the bar.
There are different kite models, but with 2 you can cover most of the wind conditions and practice kitesurf with no problems.
Are there different types of windsurf?
There are more styles. To ride big waves it is necessary to use a mono direction board, similar to the ones used by surfers. To make some acrobatics moves the board needed is the bi direction one that are better when there are no big waves.
Water planning is called freeriding, while the kitesurf style that consider jumps and acrobatic evolutions is called freestyle. The kitesurf practiced over the waves is called wavestyle and the one on calm waters wakestyle.
What is necessary to practice kitesurf?
It is necessary to take 12/14 lessons to acquire the basic knowledge one needs for a safe and autonomous practice. Even if it is not mandatory, it is warmly recommended attend a course because kitesurf is an extreme sport anyway and, even if the equipment are safe, there are many pitfalls, especially regarding others.
Kitesurf gives fun even with low wind. The perfect wind for a beginner is the one between 12 and 14 knots. A more expert athlete is able to use, together with the right equipment, winds between 8 and 40 knots.
There are many kitesurf schools that lends the necessary equipment to practice it during the lessons and thereafter one can simply rent or acquire the equipment for him/herself.
To practice kitesurf you need:
 1. A complete kite, what means the kite plus the bar and ropes;
 2. A kitesurf board;
 3. A trapeze;
 4. Safe equipment (protection vest, helmet, diving gear, etc)
Where and when is it possible to practice kitesurf in Sardinia?
Sardinia offers the possibility to practice kitesurf from April to October. There are two locations that offer excellent position both for the wind and the local structure to facilitate the practice of this sport.
Kitesurf in north Sardinia
In north Sardiia, the reference is Porto Pollo. This cute bay has a favorable position regarding the wind that allows the practice of this sport at any level.
To reach Porto Pollo it is better to arrive or land at Olbia (port and airport) and stay in one of the beautiful hotels that are nearby Porto Pollo.
It could be the ideal occasion to a father and son vacation, as Luci di La Muntagna hotel offers a special promotion for a parent travelling with a child. The hotel is located in the famous Porto Cervo and have a wonderful panorama above the marina.
Otherwise Abi D'Oru hotel, on Marinella beach, close to Porto Rotondo and Olbia.
A third solution could be La Coluccia hotel, in Santa Teresa Gallura.
Kitesurf in south Sardinia
In south Sardinia, the best place for kitesurf is Chia. It is a wonderful beach with perfect conditions for practicing water sports such as kitesurf.
The choice here goes to Aquadulci hotel, close to Su Giuddeu (400 m), a very beautiful beach known for its sand dunes.
Contact us for more information.

Links and gordian numbers associated with generic immersions of intervals
William Gibson, Masaharu Ishikawa
研究成果: Article査読
10 被引用数 (Scopus)
抄録
A divide is the image of a generic, relative immersion of intervals in the unit disk. In the present paper we remove the relative condition by introducing a generalized class of divide called free divides . We describe how to define the link of a free divide in a well-defined way and, further, show that its unknotting (gordian) number is still equal to the number of double points of the immersed intervals. This extends the result of A'Campo concerning unknotting numbers of just relative divides. We conclude the paper with a table of free divides and their links which, by virtue of the main result, are tabulated according to their unknotting numbers.

How to: Configure the cursor threshold Option (SQL Server Management Studio)
Use the cursor threshold option to specify the number of rows in the cursor set at which cursor keysets are generated asynchronously. When cursors generate a keyset for a result set, the query optimizer estimates the number of rows that will be returned for that result set. If the query optimizer estimates that the number of returned rows is greater than this threshold, the cursor is generated asynchronously, allowing the user to fetch rows from the cursor while the cursor continues to be populated. Otherwise, the cursor is generated synchronously, and the query waits until all rows are returned.
To configure the cursor threshold option
In Object Explorer, right-click a server and select Properties.
Click the Advanced node.
Under Miscellaneous, change the Cursor Threshold option to the desired value.
Use the cursor threshold option to specify the number of rows in the cursor set at which cursor keysets are generated asynchronously. If you set cursor threshold to -1, all keysets are generated synchronously, which benefits small cursor sets. If you set cursor threshold to 0, all cursor keysets are generated asynchronously.

No targets are currently set for this indicator.
The health and quality of life of Puget Sound residents is partially dependent on their ability to collect local resources for ceremonial, subsistence and recreation foods. Moniting the frequency with which residents do so, and how this varies by geography and demographics, can help managers understand where to prioritize efforts to protect or educate about the health of local foods.
Oregon State University Human Dimensions Lab
Data are collected every 2 years via paper survey to a random sample of Puget Sound households. The population chosen for this survey was a clustered random sample of Puget Sound residents, with an initial sample of 9,000. Due to undeliverable addresses, the total sample reached was less than 9,000. In 2018, the response rate was 28 percent for a total of 2,323 individual responses. In 2020, the response rate was 25 percent for a total of 1,843 respondents.
Also appended is a 2021 purposive sample of 180 Latinx respondents who were selected using a variety of techniques, including:
This one-time survey was conducted to approach Latinx respondents in diverse, potentially more culturally-appropriate ways, to determine if the Latinx respondents to our general public survey significantly differ from the overall Latinx population of Puget Sound (e.g., do Latinx respondents to our biennial random sample survey represent a biased group of Latinx?). To answer this question we compared the responses to the purposive sample to 1) all non-Latinx respondents in the general public survey and 2) only Latinx respondents to the general public survey.
Starting in 2020, we distinguished the tracking of shellfish harvest to include three separate categories: 1) clams, includes all clams except razor clams (e.g., geoducks, oysters and muschles), 2) crab and shrimp, and 3) squid.
On average, the majority of Puget Sound residents rarely harvest local foods other than plants and berries. The mean response to all local foods was 1.43, which equates to halfway between rarely (1-2 times per season) and never. This was true for both the random population and the purposive Latinx sample.
While on average, all counties harvested local foods rarely or between rarely and never, respondents from San Juan and Jefferson counties tended to harvest local foods more frequently.
2020 local food harvest data was not significantly different from 2018 local food harvest data. Those that harvested the least common local foods (waterfowl, deer, and elk) also tended to harvest the most frequent foods (plants, berries and mushrooms). As such, we can consider a summation of all local foods harvesting as an index for this Vital Sign.
For the random sample of Puget Sound, seven percent of the variation in responses could be predicted by demographics. Men and people living in rural areas were more likely to harvest local foods. For the Latinx purposive sample, 21 percent of the variation in responses could be explained by the fact that Latinx who were more educated were more likely to collect local foods. Based on similar types of research, other factors likely include, but cannot be demonstrated through these data, prior experience with local food harvesting, being connected to friends who harvest, and individual personality traits.
This is the second iteration of collecting these data. We do not anticipate significant differences to appear until several years of monitoring.

In computer science, the number of concurrent users (sometimes abbreviated to CCU) for a resource in a location, with the location being a computing network or a single computer, refers to the total number of people simultaneously accessing or using the resource. The resource can, for example, be a computer program, a file, or the computer as a whole.
Keeping track of concurrent users is important in several cases. First, some operating system models such as time-sharing operating systems allow several users to access a resource on the computer at the same time. As system performance may degrade due to the complexity of processing multiple jobs from multiple users at the same time, the capacity of such a system may be measured in terms of maximum concurrent users.
Second, commercial software vendors often license a software product by means of a concurrent users restriction. This allows a fixed number of users access to the product at a given time, and contrasts with an unlimited user license. For example: Company X buys software and pays for 20 concurrent users. However, there are 100 logins created at implementation. Only 20 of those 100 can be in the system at the same time. This is also known as floating licensing.
Concurrent user licensing allows firms to purchase computer systems and software at a lower cost because the maximum number of concurrent users expected to use the system or software at any given time (those users all logged in together) is only a portion of the total system users employed at a company. The concurrent licenses are global and shared by anyone who needs to use the system. This contrasts with "named-seats" licensing, in which one license must be purchased for each and every individual user, whether they are using the system or not.
If a company employs 400 system users in which 275 work during the day and 125 work at night, then they can opt to purchase only 275 concurrent user licenses since there will never be more than 275 users on the system during a normal work day. The night workers share 125 of the day users' licenses to use the system. For named-seat licenses, this same company would have to purchase 400 individual licenses, one for each user, and licenses would not be globally shared. The available options for licensing are entirely at the discretion of the vendor selling the product.

Port of Felixstowe explores green hydrogen production
Image credit: Port of Felixstowe
ScottishPower and Hutchison Ports are developing plans to build a production plant for 'green' hydrogen to provide clean fuel for customers at Britain's busiest container port.
The multi-hundred-megawatt facility could deliver up to 40 tonnes of hydrogen per day, which the companies say has the potential to decarbonise industry and transport in eastern England.
The hydrogen – produced from water using electricity from renewable sources – would be used for onshore purposes, such as road, rail, and industrial use, with the potential to create liquid forms, such as green ammonia or e-methanol. This could, in turn, provide clean fuels for shipping and aviation, and create opportunities for cost-effective export to international markets.
The project team aims to continue engineering and site development works to align with customer demand from 2025 onwards.
ScottishPower says 'homemade' green hydrogen has clear benefits for the security of UK energy supply and is a safe, long-term energy solution that could be vital for those who cannot decarbonise their operations through renewable electricity alone.
As well as accelerating the potential for cleaner industrial processes at the port, green hydrogen is seen as a solution for the heavy transport sector, which is a significant contributor to the UK's current carbon emissions.
Barry Carruthers, hydrogen director at ScottishPower, said: "This strategically important project could potentially create a clean fuels hub that could unlock nationally significant decarbonisation for the region, as well as playing a role in international markets.
"It's perfectly located not far from our existing and future offshore wind farms in the East Anglia region, and demonstrates how renewable electricity and green hydrogen can now start to help to decarbonise road, rail, shipping and industry."
ScottishPower already has two green hydrogen projects in Scotland, in the Cromarty Firth and at Whitelee in Glasgow.
Last year, to coincide with COP26, the Port of Felixstowe announced plans to order 48 electric tractors and 17 zero-emission remote controlled electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes (ReARTGs) as the first batch of new equipment in a move to phase out diesel-powered yard cranes.
The port handles more than 4 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) and is used by around 2,000 ships each year, including the largest container vessels. Approximately 6,000 heavy goods vehicles pass through the port and surrounding areas every day, creating a substantial opportunity to help decarbonise goods transport in the UK.

In some contexts, the term powdered sugar is used to indicate all forms of refined sugar that have been ground or powdered. In other words, it encompasses any sugar with a fine grain including confectioners' sugar. Confectioners' sugar is a powdered sugar though not all powdered sugar is confectioners' sugar.
In other cases, confectioners' sugar may refer to a specific fineness, or the extent to which the sugar has been ground. The fineness of sugar is denoted by a number between 3 and 10 followed by an X. The higher the number, the finer the grind. Confectioners' sugar is 10x sugar. Note that not all packages of sugar will have the fineness of the grind indicated on the label. Let's review more of the similarities and differences between confectioners' sugar and powdered sugar in another SPICEography Showdown.

Originally trained in sculpture and drawing Wendy Miller is a Sydney based multidisciplinary artist working across video, installation, objects, and mixed media. Unconfined by constraints of a single medium, her work investigates themes of ruin, disintegration and disorder. Paper for fragility, clay for disintegration or fabric for decadence, Miller selects materials that specifically encapsulate her aim in order to create works in which form and concept intrinsically coalesce.
In this way, Miller explores the current state of the Anthropocene; the irreversible impact of the human on the planet. Her work is a delicate tribute to botanicals with sinister undertones. She contrasts the beauty and intricacy of plants with a sense of darkness and devastation to shine a light on the irreversible acts of extinction and human destruction. Flora is portrayed as an incredibly charged subject matter that therefore enables her to explore contemporary themes of beauty, wonder and delicacy alongside themes of capitalism, colonialism and ecological ruin. The visual, olfactory and sensual nature of flora provides the theatre that slows the viewer to contemplate these larger issues.
Miller similarly draws on the theme of ruin to introspectively comment on the damage wreaked by colonialism. She examines the role her colonial ancestors played in the frontier wars that resulted in the near genocide of Tasmanian Aboriginals. Flora is used as a symbol of these atrocities throughout her work. In addressing these colonial histories Miller highlights the continuing global impact on contemporary society.

Abstract
Summary
Blötberget, in the Ludvika Mines of Bergslagen mineral district of central Sweden, is well-known for its iron-oxide, sometimes apatite-rich, deposits. There is also a renewed interest in exploring and mining the deposits due to accessibility to the market and recent advancements made in the mining and metallurgical technologies. During two field campaigns (2015 and 2016), high-resolution reflection seismic data were acquired using both cabled-and wireless-recorders as well as a landstreamer system. In this study, we have merged the two datasets and process them together to provide deeper information on the extension of the mineralization and potential unknown resources at depth. We show how the merged dataset images the mineralization much better and deeper than known also potential reflections under the known ones that can be targeted through a drilling program. This study demonstrates reflection seismic method is a powerful tool for imaging iron-oxide mineralization at depth. We argue that they should be acquired more routinely at the site for mineral exploration purposes. It also paves the way for justifying a 3D seismic survey in the area.

prismaNode
The prismaNode method works just like the prismaObject method with a couple of small differences:
 - the findUnique function now only receives an id. This is to support relays ability to load nodes by id.
 - there is a new id option that mirrors the id option from node method of the relay plugin, and must contain a resolve function that returns the id from an instance of the node.
1
builder.prismaNode('Post', {
2
// This is used to load the node by id
3
findUnique: (id) => ({ id }),
4
// This is used to get the id from a node
5
id: { resolve: (post) => post.id },

prismaConnection
The prismaConnection method on a field builder can be used to create a relay connection field that also pre-loads all the data nested inside that connection.
1
builder.queryType({
2
fields: (t) => ({
3
posts: t.prismaConnection(
4
{
5
type: 'Post',

11
),
12
}),
13
});
Copied!
options
 - type: the name of the prisma model being connected to
 - cursor: a @unique column of the model being connected to. This is used as the cursor option passed to prisma.
 - defaultSize: (default: 20) The default page size to use if first and last are not provided.
 - maxSize: (default: 100) The maximum number of nodes returned for a connection.
 - resolve: Like the resolver for prismaField, the first argument is a query object that should be spread into your prisma query. The resolve function should return an array of nodes for the connection. The query will contain the correct take, skip, and cursor options based on the connection arguments (before, after, first, last), along with include options for nested selections.
The created connection queries currently support the following combinations of connection arguments:
 - first, last, or before
 - first and before
 - last and after
Queries for other combinations are not as useful, and generally requiring loading all records between 2 cursors, or between a cursor and the end of the set. Generating query options for these cases is more complex and likely very inefficient, so they will currently throw an Error indicating the argument combinations are not supported.
relatedConnection
The relatedConnection method can be used to create a relay connection field based on a relation of the current model.
1
builder.prismaNode('User', {
2
findUnique: (id) => ({ id }),
3
id: { resolve: (user) => user.id },
4
fields: (t) => ({
5
// Connections can be very simple to define

 - defaultSize: (default: 20) The default page size to use if first and last are not provided.
 - maxSize: (default: 100) The maximum number of nodes returned for a connection.
 - resolve: (optional) Used as a fallback when a connection is not pre-loaded. It is optional, and generally should NOT be defined manually. If used it works like a combination of the resolve method of relation and prismaConnection. The default will use the findUnique of the current model, with an include for the current relation. It is also batched together with other relationships to improve query efficiency.
 - totalCount: when set to true, this will add a totalCount field to the connection object. see relationCount above for more details.

SUN-REACH Secretariat organises a parliamentarian workshop in Burundi
On 31 October 2015, the SUN-REACH Secretariat in Burundi organised a workshop with parliamentarians to draw their attention to ways they can help in educating Burundians in the fight against malnutrition. The meeting was attended by Eric Nshimirimana, the Deputy Chief of Cabinet of the Burundi Second Vice-President, Dr. Joseph Butore. He shared that Burundi is one of the most affected countries by malnutrition and that the issue of food security and nutrition fits well with the goals set in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, second generation, which states that the agricultural sector goal is to provide each Burundian adequate food quality and quantity, and reduce underweight.

How Can I Produce High-Quality Breathing Air and Save on Energy Costs?
Problem: I need a breathing air system for my business, but I want to make sure my energy costs aren't going to increase. What can I do to keep costs down?
Solution: Pneumatech's Breathing Air Purifiers are built to provide high-quality breathing air while running efficiently to keep energy costs down. The BA Series offers advanced energy management for low operating costs.
How does the BA Series help you save on energy?
 - Compressor synchronization
 - Purge nozzle optimization
 - PDP control - Dew Point switching
Sync your air compressor to the breathing air purifier to ensure that both units are running or not running when needed. Purge nozzle optimization helps reduce the amount of air waste, and PDP control changes dew points as needed depending on the environment and current ambient conditions.
The BA Series also offers best-in-class performance thanks to unique valve and exhaust design (patent pending), lowest pressure drop during drying and lowest purge loss by ensuring maximum purge air expansion during regeneration.
Specially engineered valve manifolds includes the pilot air controlled 3/2 valves with reliable and fast switching helps to reduce the pressure drop to a minimum. This does not only result in a low-pressure drop over the dryer, but also ensures maximum purge air expansion during regeneration. That lowers the purge air consumption drastically. The gas sensors are available as an option to optimize the system further. The possibility to connect the signals to the PureLogic Controller offers optimal control and monitoring.
