site of the package where the display was in, you find the corresponding number like: NX4832T035 in my case.
 3. Then you can select the display direction: vertical or horizontal and confirm all setting by pressing the OK button.
After we create the project you have to know the basic functions of the Nextion Editor. From the picture above you see that there are 8 planes that are described in the following section:
Main Menu: In the Main Menu you find standard options and settings. For example you can open, save and close projects, find the general settings and look for updates.
 - In the tools category you can add new fonts with the font generator. In the generator you can choose from different fonts and select the height. It is useful to create more than one font for your project.
Nextion Editor Font Generator
Toolbar: In the Toolbar you can also open, save or create a new project. In the second line there are multiple functions to align the components of the toolbox. Also you find other functions that we will use:
 - Compile: Before you transfer the project to the display you have to compile the current code.
 - Debug: The debug window is a good option to check how to display will look like. Also you can check implementations that are programmed directly on the display.
Nextion Editor Debug
Toolbox: In the toolbox are all components that you can add to your project. By clicking on a component it is added to the design plane. There are some advanced components that are only available for the intelligent series. The following picture shows what components are available for the different series of displays.
Nextion Editor Toolbox
Resource Plane: In the resource plane you add pictures, fonts as well as video and audio data that is included in the program files.
Event Code: In this section you can define program code that is executed when a component is used. For example you can define what should happen when a button is pressed and what should happen when this button is released.
Toolbox Plane: In the toolbox plane you define the attributes of the selected component. These attributes are separated into two categories:
 1. Can change at run time
 2. Cannot change at run time
The following pictures shows which attributes belong to which of the two categories. The most important attributes which are also needed for the Arduino program code are the "id" and the "objname".
Nextion Editor Toolbox Plane
Page Plane: With the Nextion displays you can create virtual pages where you can show different information. You HMI needs at least one page that is added when you create a new project. Also you can export and import pages so save time and reuse different kind of pages.
Design Plane: The design plane is your main window where you layout the interface with different components that you add with the toolbox.
If you want full detailed information about all features of the Nextion Editor, you can visit the editor guide.
The following video shows how I create a new project for my display and add a font as well as some components.
Nextion Display - Screen Recording
In the video you see the following steps that I make. These basic steps help you to get your first interface running.
 1. I created a new project and save the project on my disk.
 2. After the project is created, I choose the right display model and the select the display direction.
 3. In the resource plan I could add a previous created font but I wanted to create new new one via the Font Generator in the setting menu bar.
 4. The created font is saved to the disk and added to the current project.
 5. For this example I create a text field and changed the text and the maximal text width from 10 to 30. If I had not created a font previously, then I would get an error message.
 6. I created also a button and set the text to button, how creative 🙂
 7. The last step is to check if everything is running in the debugger.
How to get the interface from the Nextion Editor to the display?
The short answer would be via a micro SD card, but in reality it was a little bit trickier. The basic requirement for the Nextion display is that the SD card has to be in FAT32 format. First I tried to use a 64 GB micro SD card but unfortunately when I tried to format the card in Windows 10 there was no option to format the 64 GB micro SD card to FAT32.
SD Card Format
SD Card Format details
Also I tried to format the SD card via the windows PowerShell but this did not work either and I don't wanted to install a third party application only to change the format of the SD card once.
But I was lucky that I found a 32 GB SD card and the formatting via the PowerShell worked this time with the command: format /FS:FAT32 E: (E is the name of the volume of the SD card)
SD Card Format PowerShell
After the SD card is ready we have to compile our code to make sure that the compiler does not find any errors. You find the compile button ins the Toolbox and the output of the compiler in the output box at the bottom left in the Nextion Editor.
Nextion Editor Compile 2
The next step in the Nextion Editor is to export the TFT file to the micro SD card. Click on File in the main menu and select TFT file output. Now you choose your FAT32 formatted micro SD card and export the file to the card. If you wish, you could check if the TFT file is on the SD card.
Nextion Editor TFT output 1
Nextion Editor TFT output 2
The last step is to place the SD cart into the SD card slot of your Nextion display. After powering the display up, you see that the display recognizes the SD card and loads the file in the internal memory of the display.
Nextion Display Upload TFT
Now you disconnect the display from the power source and remove the sd card after transferring the .tft program.
The next step is to prepare the Arduino IDE to enable the connection between the Arduino or ESP8266 based microcontroller and the Nextion display.
Arduino IDE preparation for Nextion Displays
Good news: the Nextion developers created a library for Arduino and Raspberry Pi that makes the coding much easier. The bad thing is, that this library is not included in the Arduino IDE library search. Therefore we install the library manually in 4 steps:
 1. Download the Arduino library for Nextion Display as ZIP file from the official github repository to a local folder of your choice.
 2. Go to your download folder and unzip the zip file. You should get a folder named: ITEADLIB-Arduino-Nextion-master
 3. Rename this folder to: ITEADLIB_Arduino_Nextion.
 4. Move the ITEADLIB_Arduino_Nextion folder to your Arduino IDE installation libraries folder. If you do not know how your library folder is located you can search for Arduino/libraries and will find the folder, see the following picture.
Arduino Libraries Folder
The Nextion library is configured for the Arduino Mega. If you use the Arduino Mega for this project, you can skip the next step. But if you use for example an Arduino Uno, like me, we have to change the configurations of the library because the Arduino Mega has two hardware serials and the Arduino Uno for example only one.
In the library folder open the NexConfig.h file and change the following three lines:
 - Line 27: comment line with //
 - Line 32: comment line with //
 - Line 37: change Serial2 to Serial
Now everything is setup and we can create our first basic example. After the basic example I show you a more advanced example where we also use the program function of the Nextion display itself.
Basic Nextion Example – Increase Counter
The first example is an easy basic example where you learn how to add buttons and use a number field to make a counter with a reset button. This example has only one page to keep it simple. If you are new to the Nextion display, this tutorial is right for you, but if you are already advanced, you can jump to the next example where I show you a more complex example.
You can download every file I use in this example with the following download button. You download a zip file that includes the Nextion Editor TFT file, the used fonts, a picture and the Arduino script.
If you have not already started your Nextion Editor, you can open it now. Like in the video I showed you at the beginning of this tutorial, the first step in a new project is to select your Nextion display and select the horizontal or vertical display direction. In the second step you can create one or more fonts for this project. I created two fonts, one with a height of 16 and the second with a height of 32 to display text a little bit bigger.
I also want to display a picture in the display. Therefore I select picture in the resource plan and with the red plus sign I added the logo of the DIYI0T bog as picture. To display the picture on the display, I choose picture in the toolbox to add a picture frame to the interface. Now you have assign the right picture ID to the frame. Therefore set the pic setting in the toolbox plane to 0.
I also add all other components that we need from the toolbox:
 - 1 text field
 - 2 buttons

Superconductivity Demonstration Kit for physical science and physics provides all of the materials needed (except liquid nitrogen) to successfully demonstrate the characteristics of superconductivity and the Meissner Effect.
This item can only be shipped to schools, museums and science centers
Superconductivity is the spectacular characteristic of the total disappearance of electrical resistance when a superconductor is cooled below a critical temperature. Another important and unique property of superconductors is that if a magnetic field is applied to the superconductor, the effect of magnetization can be reversed. This reversible magnetic behavior is called the Meissner Effect. It is this Meissner Effect that would enable a train to levitate above its tracks. Since there would be no friction between wheels and track, the train could operate while consuming very little energy.
This unique demonstration kit will provide you with all the materials needed (except liquid nitrogen) to successfully demonstrate the characteristics of superconductivity and the Meissner Effect. Each demonstration kit includes one rugged 1" superconductor, one rare earth magnet, one non-metallic forceps and one "how to" instruction manual.

A Look At Shaker Woodworking
What it takes to be Shaker
The first Shakers came to America from England in 1774. Following them from the outside world, they recruited members to live and work in self-sufficient, communal settlements. By the early 1800s there were 18 Shaker communities in seven states.
Shakers became known in the world outside their settlements for excellence in whatever they grew or made, especially their furniture. In keeping with the Shakers' unadorned lifestyle, they built purely functional pieces devoid of ornamentation. Yet their furniture displayed delicately constructed, graceful lines, and sensitivity to proportion reminiscent of Danish modern or Scandinavian-style furniture of the 20th century.
The 1830s marked Shaker furniture's Golden Age. But they continued producing it, even commercially, into the early 20th century.
Native wood from the forest Shakers used local trees. Ash, basswood, birch, butternut, cherry, white pine, and sugar maple (especially figured) were common in New England settlements. Beech, chestnut, yellow poplar, and walnut were added in Kentucky and Ohio. Fruitwood (apple, pear, etc.) was used widely for pulls.
Finishes varied with the stock Because several woods went into chest of drawers, cabinets, and tables, these types of furniture were painted. In the early 19th century the paint was opaque. Later, it was a wash through which the grain was visible with varnish as a top coat. Chairs and rockers made of only one kind of wood were varnished or shellacked after staining. Darker hardwoods, such as cherry, were finished with linseed oil.
Joinery that stayed together The Shakers invented the tongue-and-groove cutting machine, so they employed it to edge-join boards. Splined grooves, butt joints, lap joints, through tenons (wedged and keyed), and dadoes for shelving were favorite joinery methods. Dovetails are the most observable construction feature. They were used for their strength and durability rather than for appearance.
Details didn't decorate Shaker case goods featured drawers, usually combined with larger storage spaces covered by frame-and-panel doors. Except for a restrained top-edge molding in cove, quarter-round, or bullnose shape, case goods were simple. They sat directly on the floor, had cut feet, or applied legs.
Side chairs, hung on wall pegs when not in use, were light and graceful with plain turned stiles, legs, and stretchers. Finials at the top of the stiles were intended as handles to lift the chair, not as decoration. The bottom of the back legs usually had turned tilters (early Shaker) that protected the floors. Later, tilters were commonly made of brass.
Rocking chairs had finials atop their stiles, too, or a plain crossbar on which to hang a pillow. On the top of the front arms were mushroom-shaped, wooden tenon covers. Chair and rocker seats featured woven wood splints, rush, leather, cane, and, after 1830, colorful cloth tape made on special looms.
Trestle tables were known for gracefully arched feet (on small tables, too). A raised stretcher beneath the top added leg room for seating comfort.

The objective of this study was to evaluate savory (Satureja hortensis L.) powder (SP) and savory methanol extract (SE) levels on ileal microbial population when fed to 1-day-old to 6-week-old broiler chicks. A total of 225-day-old broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 5 treatments with 3 replicates and fed for 42 days. Treatments included no supplement (control), 1.0% and 2.0% SP in feed, 50 and 100 ppm SE in drinking water. Data analysis was performed using SAS software and means were separated using Tukey's pairwise method. The results showed that including 1.0% or 2.0% SP in broiler feed or 50 and 100 ppm SE in the drinking water significantly (P < .05) reduced the ileal Escherichia coli population when compared to birds receiving the control treatment. The ileal Lactobacillus population was significantly (P < .05) greater from birds receiving the 50 and 100 ppm SE treatments when compared to birds receiving the control treatment. Furthermore, there were no significant effects on ileal E. coli and Lactobacillus populations among the four treatments of savory. The results revealed that SP or SE can be used as an alternative to antibiotics in broiler chicken feeds.

This information includes, but it is not limited to: o Type of network the device is connected: public, work, home. o Trusted network? Y/N. o First time visited network? Y/N. o Network geographical location. o Mobility? Y/N. o Operating System (OS) network profile, including security/trust related parameters. Most modern OSs keep metadata associated to the networks they can attach to, as for example the level of trust the user or administrator assigns to the network. This information is used to configure how the device behaves in terms of advertising itself on the network, firewall settings, etc. But this information can also be used to decide whether to configure a local MAC address or not, from which SLAP quadrant and how often. o Triggers coming from applications regarding location privacy. An app might request to the OS to maximize location privacy (due to the nature of the application) and this might require that the OS forces the use of a local MAC address, or that the local MAC address is changed. This information can be used by the device to select the SLAP quadrant. For example, if the device is moving around (e.g., while connected to a public network in an airport), it is likely that it might change access point several times, and therefore it is best to minimize the chances of address collision, using the SAI or AAI quadrants. If the device is not moving and attached to a trusted network (e.g. at work), then it is probably best to select the ELI quadrant. These are just some examples of how to use this information to select the quadrant. Additionally, the information can also be used to trigger subsequent changes of MAC address, to enhance location privacy. Besides, changing the SLAP quadrant used might also be used as an additional enhancement to make it harder to track the user location. Last, if we consider the data center scenario, a hypervisor might request local MAC addresses to be assigned to virtual machines. As in the previous scenarios, the hypervisor might select the preferred SLAP quadrant using information provided by the cloud management Bernardos & Mourad Expires November 14, 2020 [Page 8] Internet-Draft DHCPv6 SLAP quadrant selection May 2020 system (CMS) or virtualization infrastructure manager (VIM) running on top of the hypervisor. This information might include, but is not limited to: o Migratable VM. If the function implemented by the VM is subject to be moved to another physical server or not. This has an impact on the preference for the SLAP quadrant, as some quadrants are better suited (e.g., ELI/SAI) for supporting migration in a large data center. o VM connectivity characteristics , e.g.,: standalone, part of a pool, part of a service graph/chain. If the connectivity characteristics of the VM are known, this can be used by the hypervisor to select the best SLAP quadrant. 4. DHCPv6 Extensions 4.1. Address Assignment from the Preferred SLAP Quadrant Indicated by the Client Next, we describe the protocol operations for a client to select a preferred SLAP quadrant using the DHCPv6 signaling procedures described in [I-D.ietf-dhc-mac-assign]. The signaling flow is shown in Figure 3. +--------+ +--------+ | DHCPv6 | | DHCPv6 | | client | | server | +--------+ +--------+ | | +-------1. Solicit(IA_LL(QUAD))------->| | | |<--2.

Link-layer addresses (i.e., MAC addresses) are assigned in blocks. The smallest block is a single address. To request an assignment, the client sends a Solicit message with an IA_LL option in the message. The IA_LL option MUST contain a LLADDR option. In order to indicate the preferred SLAP quadrant(s), the IA_LL option includes the new OPTION_SLAP_QUAD option in the IA_LL-option field (with the LLAADR option). 2. The server, upon receiving an IA_LL option, inspects its contents. For each of the entries in OPTION_SLAP_QUAD, in order of the preference field (highest to lowest), the server checks if it has a configured MAC address pool matching the requested quadrant identifier, and an available range of addresses of the requested size. If suitable addresses are found, the server sends back an Advertise message with an IA_LL option containing an LLADDR option that specifies the addresses being offered. If the server supports the new QUAD IA_LL-option, and manages a block of addresses belonging to the requested quadrant(s), the addresses being offered MUST belong to the requested quadrant(s). If the server does not have a configured address pool matching the client's request, it MUST return the IA_LL option containing a Status Code option with status set to NoQuadAvail (IANA-2). If the client specified more than one SLAP quadrant, the server MUST only return a NoQuadAvail status code if no address pool(s) configured at the server match any of the specified SLAP quadrants. If the server has a configured address pool of the correct quadrant, but no available addresses, it MUST return the IA_LL option containing a Status Code option with status set to NoAddrsAvail. 3. The client waits for available servers to send Advertise responses and picks one server as defined in Section 18.2.9 of [RFC8415]. The client SHOULD NOT pick a server that does not advertise an address in the requested quadrant. The client then sends a Request message that includes the IA_LL container option with the LLADDR option copied from the Advertise message sent by the chosen server. It includes the preferred SLAP quadrant(s) in the new QUAD IA_LL-option. 4. Upon reception of a Request message with IA_LL container option, the server assigns requested addresses. The server MAY alter the allocation at this time. It then generates and sends a Reply message back to the client. Upon receiving a Reply message, the client parses the IA_LL container option and may start using all provided addresses. Note that a client that has included a Rapid Commit option in the Solicit, may receive a Reply in response to the Solicit and skip the Advertise and Request steps above (following standard DHCPv6 procedures). Bernardos & Mourad Expires November 14, 2020 [Page 10] Internet-Draft DHCPv6 SLAP quadrant selection May 2020 5. When the assigned addresses are about to expire, the client sends a Renew message. It includes the preferred SLAP quadrant(s) in the new QUAD IA_LL-option, so in case the server is unable to extend the lifetime on the existing address(es), the preferred quadrants are known for the allocation of any "new" addresses. 6. The server responds with a Reply message, including an LLADDR option with extended lifetime. The client SHOULD check if the received MAC address comes from one of the requested quadrants. Otherwise, the client SHOULD NOT configure the obtained address. It MAY repeat the process selecting a different DHCP server. 4.2. Address Assignment from the SLAP Quadrant Indicated by the Relay Next, we describe the protocol operations for a relay to select a preferred SLAP quadrant using the DHCPv6 signaling procedures described in [I-D.ietf-dhc-mac-assign]. This is useful when a DHCPv6 server is operating over a large infrastructure split in different network regions, where each region might have different requirements. The signaling flow is shown in Figure 4.

Hot waxing is an ancient, tried, and tested method of hair removal. Although it can be painful, many swear by it as the best way to remove bikini line and leg hair.
Hot waxing is one of the better hair removal methods for the start of summer, as you do not need to worry about hair removal for several weeks afterwards. Done carefully and safely (ideally in a Salon) hot waxing is also popular as a method to reduce hair growth over time.
However, hot waxing has its drawbacks – especially when done at home with over-the counter hot wax products.
Disadvantages of hot waxing
- Waxing can result in-grown hairs and other skin problems – from skin redness and bumps in the days directly after waxing to follicle damage and hyperpigmentation in the long term.
- Waxing may not result in less or thinner hair. It may in fact result in the growth of shorter hairs that cannot be removed as easily.
- There may be a loss of skin elasticity in a particular area over time due to the pulling and heating effects of waxing.
- It can be painful and is not suitable for sensitive areas such as underarms.
Potential health dangers of hot waxing
Most of the disadvantages to hot waxing are cosmetic. However, they can lead to real health dangers
- Hot Waxing can result in burns if not done responsibly.
- Skin and follicle wounds pose a risk of infection
- In-grown hairs can also very easily lead to infection.
Hot Waxing at home vs at a Salon
- Although waxing can be a quick and efficient hair removal solution, it can be dangerous and is not the healthiest method for at home hair removal. Waxing can be especially dangerous for certain areas of the body if not done correctly. The more sensitive and thinner your skin, the more susceptible it is to irritation, burns, damage, and infection.
- Done at home, from a pain perspective, hot waxing also not suitable for bikini lines either – even though, ironically, it is a preferred method of hair removal for bikini lines!
However, done correctly in a Salon, by a professional, hot waxing is far safer and less painful – and ideal for bikini lines as well as large areas of body hair.
Hot waxing may still be considered preferable to shaving in many cases. However, there are several other options that offer better long-term body hair management and healthier, safer, and better hair removal and reduction on hair growth over time.

The LMIP uses the CAP standardized billable test (SBT) to establish a common basis for counting tests among laboratories. Unlike other
methods of test counting (relative value units [RVU] and unadjusted billable tests), the CAP standardized billable test eliminates billing,
accounting, and interpretation variations across institutions. The LMIP shields your institution from these data issues and ultimately
provides you the most accurate comparisons.
Many hospital-wide benchmarking tools do not define test counting methodology.
As a result, LMIP users have reported that laboratory cost per test - as measured
by hospital-wide benchmarking programs - can vary widely and external comparisons
can be misleading. For example, one participant in a hospital-wide benchmarking
program may "explode" profile tests and count each component individually, while
another participant may count the profile only once. The laboratory submitting
the higher test number will appear more productive, although that may not be the case.
Because this diversity in CPT code usage does not create "apple to apple" comparisons, the LMIP uses the SBT to insure that all laboratories count tests in a uniform manner. The SBT as a stable entity, provides management with a reliable tool to track laboratory operations over time.
The SBT is the primary measurement of output for participating laboratories. The SBT is defined as a test or procedure that meets all of the following criteria:
- Ordered by a physician or caregiver
- Associated with a CPT code
- Generates a result, product, or billable phlebotomy procedure
- Performed by laboratory personnel
The LMIP users guide, which is provided to every LMIP subscriber, provides detailed instructions for counting billable tests. LMIP also provides subscribers with spreadsheets that make it easy to count tests properly. A sample spreadsheet is available for viewing on screen or downloading directly to your hard drive.

Turner to Monet
The Australian Sketcher of November 1873 shows von Guérard's grand Kosciusko painting displayed at the Vienna Exhibition with other contributions from the Australian colonies. It and another of the artist's paintings, Cape Woolamai 1872, are surrounded by photographs and maps, produce, flora and fauna, as well as a case of mineral samples and other specimens of interest.1There is some irony here. Von Guérard detailed the lichen on rocks in North-east view from the northern top of Mount Kosciusko – most noticeably on the platform on which the cloaked figure stands – but other parts are less convincing.
When von Guérard arrived in Australia in 1852 he was already an established artist, having trained in Rome and Düsseldorf. He had probably seen works by Friedrich; Carus's published writings also circulated widely during the 1830s and 1840s, the periods of von Guérard's study at the Staatliche Kunstakademie. In his new southern homeland the artist familiarised himself with native flora by sketching in the Melbourne Botanical Gardens, exactly the close observation of nature promoted by Carus. Von Guérard's works are an intriguing mix of topographical accuracy and German traditions of the Sublime: we find a range of protagonists throughout his oeuvre, figures often tiny, seen at an angle or with their backs to the picture plane. As Bruce puts it, von Guérard thus synthesises active, intelligent observation with a 'predominance of feeling over reasoning'.2
In 1862 von Guérard joined an expedition to the Australian Alps. Led by the Bavarian scientist Georg von Neumayer, the expedition was commissioned by the Government of Victoria, part of an international project to measure the Earth's magnetic fields. As well as a geophysicist and an artist, the party comprised Neumayer's assistant, two guides and his dog Hector – all of whom are immortalised in the painting. Von Guérard made a number of sketches during the course of the expedition. In Melbourne the following year he produced North-east view from the northern top of Mount Kosciusko.3It is a major painting, regarded as one of his finest artistically, and most accurate topographically.
In North-east view from the northern top of Mount Kosciusko areas of the foreground and the mound of large boulders at right are particularly perplexing. Indeed as Bonyhady tells, the rocks were introduced by von Guérard to emphasise human insignificance. They serve to provide a link between foreground, the distant mountains and the sky, that records the passage from heavy rain to bright sunshine.4Most importantly, in aesthetic terms, the rocks echo those on the peaks at the centre of the composition, gloriously patterned by the snow that has melted to reveal the grassy slopes underneath.
Mount Kosciusko, an anglicised spelling, was named by the explorer Count Paul Strzelecki in 1840 after the Polish-Lithuanian general Tadeusz Kociuszko.5 The peak was subsequently discovered to be slightly lower than its neighbour, Mount Townsend – although in order that Mount Kosciuszko retain the distinction of the highest mountain in Australia, the names were reversed.

This paper presents a novel robust people counting system based on fusing the depth and vision data. Conventional algorithms utilize the monoscopic or stereoscopic vision data to count people. However, these vision-based people counting methods often fail due to occasional illumination change and crowded environment. In the proposed algorithm, both the top-view vision and depth images are captured by a video-plus-depth camera mounted on the ceiling. The depth image is first processed by a morphological operator to alleviate depth artifacts such as the optical noise and lost data. Then the human object is extracted using a human model from the preprocessed depth image. Finally, the trajectory of the detected object is established by applying the bidirectional matching algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves over 98% accuracy in various testing environments.

CultureUnited Arab Emirates
Sometimes a city's biggest secret is hidden in its name. But take a closer look at the names of these famous metropoles and all will be revealed!
In Arabic, the name of the capital of the United Arab Emirates means 'Father of the Gazelle', most likely in reference to the animals that populate the emirate.
You don't need to dig too deep to find the meaning behind the name Amsterdam. It refers to the 'dam' on which the city was constructed along the River Amstel. So literally translated, Amsterdam means 'the dam of the Amstel'.
It only takes a basic knowledge of Greek mythology to find the origin of the name of Greece's capital city. The goddess of wisdom, war and craft was called Athena.
The old name for this French city was Burdigala. By chopping the word up, we find the words 'burd' (muddy) and 'gala' (creek). So the name Bordeaux would originally have meant 'the creek in the marshes or wetlands'.
Dubai was named for a type of grasshopper, or locust, which thrives in this desert region. Its Arabic name is 'dibba'.

The researchers' primary interest was tracking wages after respondents started their first jobs, and they found a clear correlation between wage growth and smoking. Munasinghe and Sicherman found a 4.7 percent gap (after controlling for a range of family and individual characteristics) between smokers' and nonsmokers' first wages (what people were paid at their first full-time job).
Though this result was consistent with many previous findings that smokers earn less than nonsmokers, earlier studies didn't take wage dynamics into account. Because Munasinghe and Sicherman did consider wage dynamics, their results were more definitive: over the first decade of employment, the difference in wages increased dramatically — nonsmokers' wages grew to be anywhere from 15 to 40 percent higher than those of smokers. The far-reaching NLSY data allowed the researchers to eliminate variables other than smoking — including sex, age, race, health, schooling, cognitive ability, religion and neighborhood income — that might correlate with the wage changes they observed.

Tom Brody, Rebutting Obviousness Rejections by Way of Anti-Obviousness Case Law, 99 J. Pat. & Trademark Off. Soc'y 192 (2017)
Claims in patents include both structural elements and functional elements. Functional elements occur in various categories: (1) Functional elements that mandate a particular range of structures that are able to perform the required function; (2) Functional elements that mandate a particular cooperation between structures; (3) Compound noun/function functional elements, (4) Active-type functional elements; (5) "Capable of"-type functional elements, (6) Single-word structural elements that are typical nouns, but that are also functional elements, e.g., "plasticizer," and (7) Quasi-functional elements that lack any patentable weight. This article discloses which of these types of functional elements confers the broadest claim scope, and which are most resistant to rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 102 or 35 U.S.C. § 103. The author also announces the discovery of a paradox in patent law, namely, the Newman Paradox, and compares it with another paradox, the Wands-Vaeck Paradox. This article describes two different traps, which can result from a failure to understand the proper construction of functional elements. These traps are The Hough/Hovath Trap, and The Trap of In re Robertson. This is the first article to provide an in-depth analysis of cases from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB"), previously known as the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences ("BPAI") ("Board").

Matching pesticides with the correct nozzle type can seem intimidating, especially when browsing through those nozzle charts with many colors and small print. Here's advice for making the selection process simpler.
It's important to ensure the nozzles you're using are correct for the product being applied. Otherwise, you may end up losing time, money and potentially good relations with your neighbors. Finding the right nozzles starts with considering what products will be used.
What you're spraying plays a large role in selecting the correct nozzle. After determining which product will be used, find out if the pesticide activity is systemic or contact. Contact herbicides do not move through the plant, so they require good spray coverage on the target plants to work effectively. Bryan Young, professor of weed science at Purdue, recommends medium to coarse or very coarse nozzles for contact herbicides.
When selecting finer nozzles for contact herbicides, avoid going too fine. This can lead to issues such as spray drift, the droplets staying aloft in the air or the droplets evaporating altogether before hitting the intended target. Increasing the spray pressure will not solve these problems.
"Some applicators will think, 'I'm going to add more spray pressure so I can push the spray into the canopy,'" Young says. "My message is, you cannot push a fog, so boosting the pressure can create more problems than good."
To achieve better coverage, Young recommends increasing carrier volume. He says 15 to 20 gallons per acre is ideal for contact herbicides, depending on what size spray droplet is being used.
Pete Illingworth, a farm crew member at Purdue, will apply his contact herbicides at 30 gallons per acre. "I want to drown them and make sure everything gets covered," he says.
Illingworth explains this is possible for him because he sprays 500 acres, so he doesn't have as much acreage to cover. He typically applies atrazine and Corvus for preemergence on corn, and later he applies Buctril and Capreno for postemergence. In beans, he applies Zidua Pro for preemergence, and Liberty and Zidua SC for post.
The nozzle that Illingworth used to swear by was a Hypro flat fan at 110 degrees. This nozzle allowed him to spray a large volume and achieve good coverage. Now, Illingworth likes using an air induction-type nozzle set on 15-inch spacings because it still delivers good coverage while cutting back on spray drift.
While coverage is important with contact herbicides, total coverage is not necessary when applying systemic herbicides. Young recommends coarse to extremely coarse droplets for those products. He says to avoid going beyond the extremely coarse size.
"Ultra-coarse droplets are really nobody's friend for pesticide activity," Young explains. With larger droplet sizes, you start to compromise adequate coverage. While systemic herbicides don't require the thorough coverage that contact herbicides do, it is still important for a minimum number of droplets to be intercepted by the target weeds. With that said, some herbicide labels require the use of ultra-coarse droplets to mitigate spray drift.
Young explains that with the herbicide diversity today, you typically won't find one nozzle that works for all your products. He says AIXR nozzles or similar are the most popular. They are air-inducted nozzles that can maintain their pattern over a wider pressure range.
He sees twin fan nozzles gaining traction as farmers move to using more contact herbicides and needing more thorough spray coverage. For now, he explains that nozzle selection can only be effective if it meshes well with how one sprays.
"I can't emphasize enough that how they spray is important because the pesticide you pour in the tank isn't going to work unless it's effectively applied," Young says. "The better you are at applying it, the more effectively it will perform."

Lamborghini versus Tesla- History, Technology, Performance compared
Tesla and Lamborgini are two of the most popular and innovative car companies in the whole world, with very different approaches to automotive engineering and design. Lamborghini is known for its high-performance, luxury sports cars, while Tesla has been a pioneer in electric vehicles and sustainable energy. In this essay, I will compare and contrast Lamborghini and Tesla in the context of their history, innovation, design, performance, and sustainability.
History:
Lamborghini was founded in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini, who had previously made a fortune manufacturing tractors. The company soon made a name for itself as a manufacturer of high-performance sports cars, with models like the Miura, Countach, and Diablo emerging as legendary representations of the pinnacle of the automobile industry.
On the other hand, Tesla was founded in 2003 by Elon Musk to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. Initially, the company produced the Tesla Roadster, an electric sports car based on the Lotus Elise. Since then, Tesla has expanded its range to include a range of electric vehicles, including the Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y.
Innovation:
Both Lamborghini and Tesla are known for their innovation in the automotive industry. Lamborghini has been at the forefront of high-performance engineering with advanced technologies like all-wheel drive, active aerodynamics, and hybrid powertrains.
Tesla has been a pioneer in electric cars and sustainable energy. The company's electric powertrain technology is some of the most advanced in the world, with high-performance electric motors, advanced battery management systems, and software that allows for over-the-air updates.
Design:
Lamborghini and Tesla prioritize design in their vehicles. Lamborghini is known for its bold, aggressive styling, sharp angles, dramatic curves, and bold color schemes. The business creates visually stunning vehicles that convey a sense of speed and power.
Tesla prioritizes simplicity and elegance in its design language. The company's cars are sleek and modern, with clean lines and minimal ornamentation. With an emphasis on aerodynamics and energy efficiency, Tesla's design philosophy stresses functionality and efficiency.
Performance:
Lamborghini is renowned for its high-performance sports cars, with models like the Aventador and Huracán capable of reaching top speeds of over 200 mph. The company's cars are known for their precision handling, powerful engines, and advanced suspension systems.
Tesla's electric cars are also known for their performance capabilities, with models like the Model S and Model 3 capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds. While Tesla's cars may not have the same raw power as a Lamborghini, they are known for their instant torque delivery and smooth, silent acceleration.
Sustainability:
One of Tesla's primary goals is to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy, and the company's electric cars are a crucial part of that mission. By producing cars that run on electricity rather than gasoline, Tesla is helping to reduce emissions and combat climate change.
On the other hand, Lamborghini has not historically prioritized sustainability in its vehicles. While the company has made some strides towards reducing emissions, such as introducing hybrid powertrains in some of its cars, Lamborghini's focus has primarily been on performance and luxury.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Lamborghini and Tesla are two very different car companies with various approaches to automotive engineering, design, and sustainability. While Tesla has been an innovator in electric vehicles and sustainable energy, Lamborghini is renowned for its high-performance sports cars. Both companies have made significant contributions to the automotive industry, and it will be interesting to see how they continue to innovate and evolve in the years to come.
FAQs
Are Teslas superior to Lamborghinis?
It's not fair to directly compare a Tesla to a Lamborghini because they serve different purposes and have various strengths. It operates on electricity and emits no emissions. Tesla is superior for its sustainability and efficiency. Lamborghini is better due to its better speed, luxury, and ease.
Was a Tesla faster than a Lamborghini?
Yes, there have been instances where a Tesla has beaten a Lamborghini in a straight-line drag race. For example, in 2019, a Tesla Model S P100D raced against a Lamborghini Aventador SV, and Tesla won the race. The Tesla Model S P100D is an electric car with an impressive 0-60 mph time of 2.4 seconds, while the Lamborghini Aventador SV has a 0-60 mph time of around 2.8 seconds. But it's important to remember that the results of a competition between a Tesla and a Lamborghini rely on several variables, including the particular models under scrutiny, the race's circumstances, and the drivers' prowess. In some scenarios, a Lamborghini may be ready to outperform a Tesla, especially on a track or through other performance-related metrics.

plate is then sent into the furnace for thermal curing, in which the setting of the curing line of the curing furnace is particularly important because the temperature of the curing line is directly related to the deformation of the cured quartz stone plate: if the temperature of the curing line is too low, it will lead to the later deformation Large; if the temperature on the curing line is not uniform, it will cause stress on the surface and local parts of the plate. During the later polishing process, the plate will be deformed due to stress release. After the quartz slab comes out of the curing line, use iron pipes with a wall thickness of less than 3 mm to lightly tap various parts of the plate. If the sound is crisp, it means that the curing effect is good; if the sound is dull, it means that the curing effect is not good.
(7) Placement of semi-finished products after curing
For the placement of the semi-finished board, if the shrinkage of the resin is small, the bottom of the board can be placed on the A-frame vertically; if the shrinkage of the resin is large, it is recommended to lay the board flat to the bottom, and the surface of the board must be cleaned, ensure the flatness of the plate later. After solidification, the board must be placed for 24 h, and the polishing process can not be performed until the board is completely cooled.
(8) Polishing
The smaller the particle size, the lower the gloss. The gloss after polishing is generally around 40 °. The larger the particle size, especially the plate containing large-particle glass, the higher the gloss. The gloss after polishing is generally around 60 °. Selection of polished surface: the surface in contact with the template is generally used as the polished surface because the flatness and smoothness of this surface are better. This surface has fewer impurities in the fabric process, and this surface has high density during curing. Therefore, it is ideal to choose this side as the polished surface. Selection of grinding block: choose good quality granite stone grinding block and reasonable mesh matching. Polishing speed: The polishing speed varies depending on the raw material formula and the color of the plate. For example, for small particles and pure color plates, the linear speed should be slowed down during the polishing process; while for large particles and glass particles and light-colored plates, the linear speed can be relatively faster.
Quartz Big Slabs Producing
4 Common problems and solutions in the production process of artificial quartz stone plate
In the production process of quartz stone, due to improper operation control, various defects such as deformation, cracking, discoloration, discoloration, dusting, watermarks, pinholes, pores, impurities, etc. will occur. How to avoid these defects and reduce the waste of cost, sum up the following experience:
Deformation: It is mainly related to the composition of the formula, the curing method, whether the curing is sufficient, and whether the storage method of the semi-finished product / finished product is appropriate. The solutions are as follows: 1) Formulate a reasonable formula structure, adopt reasonable curing methods and accurate curing methods such as secondary curing technology, and heat the board up and down during the movement to be fully heated. 2) Choose a reasonable storage method according to the quality of the resin.
Discoloration: Discoloration is mainly related to the properties of the resin, colorants, and curing agents. The solution is as follows: 1) Use a resin with good stability. 2) A thermal curing agent is used to ensure that the curing agent can fully react without residue during the heating process. 3) Adopt inorganic pigments, good weather resistance.
Pores: Pores are divided into two categories, one is small pinholes, usually because the vacuum can not reach -0.1MPa, and the resin content in the formula is too high; the second is large irregular pores, usually because of the formula structure Unreasonable, uneven cloth, not compact when pressed by the press, and uneven cloth force. The method of prevention is: First, use good vacuum equipment, use special vacuum pump oil and do good maintenance; Second, the seal of the press and the pipeline is better, and the vacuum chamber of the press is smaller; Third, it must be formulated The formula structure; Fourth, we must have good molding equipment and mature production technology and operating procedures. Watermark: The appearance of the watermark is caused by uneven pressure and uneven movement of the plate during the pressing process, which results in uneven distribution of the toner used inside the plate. However, under the control of a mature production process, a press with strong pressure and vibration can prevent this problem.
Wear scars: Wear scars are the most common problem, especially on dark and solid boards. The use of special grinding blocks can reduce or eliminate such dark marks, and choose a reasonable polishing speed according to the color of the plate and the particles.
5 Conclusion
There is no doubt about the market space of quartz stone, and artificial quartz stone slabs have replaced some natural stones and ceramic products as a development trend. At present, there are still some quality problems or product defects, and the production technology needs to be further improved, but the artificial quartz plate has excellent physical properties and decorativeness. In recent years, it has gained rapid popularity in economically developed countries. In addition, due to the environmental protection of artificial quartz stone, in today's emphasis on low-carbon environmental protection, many space designers prefer artificial stone to natural stone. Therefore, the consumption habits of quartz plates will inevitably expand to the whole world.

Histogram equalization and specification have been widely used to enhance information in a gray scale image, with histogram specification having the advantage of allowing the output histogram to be specified as compared to histogram equalization, which attempts to produce an output histogram that is uniform Unfortunately, expanding histogram techniques to color images is not very straightforward Since humans are sensitive to chromatic changes, care must be taken to ensure that incorrect colors are not produced. Additionally expanding the one-dimensional histogram used in gray level histogram techniques to a joint histogram (usually of three variables representing the primary colors of red, green, and blue) can yield specified histograms which have no physical meaning, hence making if difficult to determine the set of histograms required for a desired enhancement in this paper, we describe a method of extending gray level histogram specification to color images by performing histogram specification an the luminance, saturation, and hue components in the color difference C-Y color space. These methods take into account the relationship between the luminance and saturation components while yielding specified histograms that produce natural-looking results. (C) 1999 SPIE and IS&T.

Where and When?
Flunstellas are thoughts that appear floating with a life of their own in social spaces, such as cafes, libraries, schools, hospitals and shops. Not everyone can see them, of all age groups children, teenagers and older people seem to see them the most. Often people have claimed to have seen them after intense emotional experiences.
What do they look like?
There are many different breeds and species of Flunstellas, each with different shapes, colors, markings and sizes. Some glow, some fade and some display information as text, pictures or moving images.
How do they move?
They move around in a variety of different ways, some smoothly, some aggressively, some choosing to just hover at a particular point. They are highly social, they have been seen following each other and flocking in groups and attacking each other. They seem to be able to sense what is happening around them, acting differently when close to different people, objects and other thoughts. They don't seem to be intelligent in themselves, in fact individually they seem quite dumb.

Conjuration magic is the art of summoning creatures from other planes, creating magical weapons and armor, and repelling undead creatures. Summoning creatures is particularly useful, providing the spellcaster with an ally in combat. A wide range of different creatures can be summoned, depending upon the spellcaster's ability.
- A Novice can only cast Novice level Conjuration spells.
- An Apprentice can cast Apprentice and Novice level Conjuration spells.
- A Journeyman can cast Journeyman, Apprentice and Novice level Conjuration spells.
- An Expert can cast Expert, Journeyman, Apprentice, and Novice level Conjuration spells.
- A Master can cast all Conjuration spells.
As your Conjuration skill increases, the Magicka cost to cast conjuration spells decreases, according to the following equation:
Cost = BaseCost * (1.4 - 0.012 * Skill)
The maximum value for Skill in this equation is 100; increases past 100 will not continue to decrease spell-casting cost.
You gain 6 experience points every time any conjuration spell is cast upon an appropriate target, regardless of the magicka cost. Of all the spellcasting skills, this is the highest rate of experience gain, and therefore increasing conjuration requires the fewest spell casts.
General tips for increasing spell-casting skills are provided at General Magic Strategies.
The best non-custom conjuration spell for practice is Bound Dagger. It is one of the cheaper conjuration spells, and it is the easiest spell to chain cast. In general, bound weapon spells can more easily be chain-cast than bound armor spells: all you have to do is sheath the weapon, and the effect terminates, allowing it to immediately be cast again.
To create a custom practice spell, the best effect is probably Summon Skeleton. It is the cheapest summon effect, so a one second duration spell has a base cost of 1 Magicka. On the other hand, most bound armor effects are almost as cheap, so some characters may prefer to create a short-duration bound armor training spell. The cheapest conjuration effect is Turn Undead, but it requires an undead target to gain experience (which can be overcome by summoning an undead creature as a target, especially if you are in an enclosed area so your target won't run too far away).

- Trainers: Pay for conjuration lessons.
- Conjuration Training: A Master Conjurer wants proof of your ability before he will train you.
- Skill Books: Books that provide lessons in conjuration.
- Increasing Attributes: Tips on training skills to improve the Intelligence attribute.
- Magic Items: There are multiple generic items with the fortify conjuration enchantment.
- There are no Unique Items that fortify the conjuration skill. These do not include Leveled Items such as those received from quests, or Artifacts.
There are no Free Skill Boosts available for Conjuration.
When your skill reaches 70 or higher, NPCs will start saying: "You smell of death. Been conjuring up dead things?"
The following races provide initial skill bonuses in conjuration:
The following standard classes include conjuration as a major skill:
A list of all standard conjuration spells can be found on the Spells page. The effects available through conjuration fall into three general groups: Summon effects; Bound effects (Bound Armor and Bound Weapons); and Turn Undead. None of these effects are available as custom potions. Following are all of the individual effects (see the individual effect pages for full details on availability; the Magical Effects article also provides a summary):
The following table provides the messages that are displayed when your Conjuration skill levels up.
|Apprentice||Through steady practice you have discovered more creatures to summon from the planes of Oblivion. You are now an Apprentice in Conjuration magic and can cast Apprentice level Conjuration spells.|
|Journeyman||Through steady practice you have discovered more creatures to summon from the planes of Oblivion. You are now a Journeyman in Conjuration magic and can cast Journeyman level Conjuration spells.|
|Expert||Through steady practice you have discovered more creatures to summon from the planes of Oblivion. You are now an Expert in Conjuration magic and can cast Expert level Conjuration spells.|
|Master||Through steady practice you have discovered more creatures to summon from the planes of Oblivion. You are now a Master of Conjuration magic and can cast Master level Conjuration spells.|
- Summoned monsters can have their souls trapped.
- Conjured creatures are unaffected by the difficulty settings, leaving them just as destructive and durable. This makes conjuration excellent for a high difficulty game, while lessening its power somewhat on an easy game.

Are diet changes necessary after suprapubic cystostomy?
After the intervention, it is important to have a healthy and balanced diet and an adequate daily fluid intake.
After suprapubic cystostomy make sure you have an adequate daily fluid intake from 2 to 3 l, to encourage drainage and prevent urinary infections. Avoid bladder-irritating drinks like alcohol, coffee, tea, and fizzy beverages, drink water, milk and fresh juices and include soup in your daily diet.
The importance of a healthy diet
It's essential to avoid constipation after suprapubic cystostomy because it can block the catheter and increase the pressure on the bladder. In order to avoid constipation, include foods with a high content of fibers in your diet, such as:
Fibers promote digestion and decrease the chances of constipation.
Please follow your doctor's recommendations and avoid the factors that can impair the result of the procedure.

with anticipated errors, the scenario may be different. If you work with importing data from an untrusted source, your code may be peppered with error checks and error handling, but hopefully in this case, you also have the time to test that your code actually works. And for all you care, the main meat of such a procedure may be exactly all that error handling.
Not only should your error-handling code be short and simple, it should also be robust, solid and consistent. That is, there is little use in writing error-handling code that only works for some situations.
Our next point is finding safe ground. That is, when an unanticipated error occurs, you are in a situation where you don't know what is going on, and you need to back out to a place where you again have full control, and where you know that you can continue executing without the error causing further accidents down the road. In many situations this means clean up, log and terminate. In the context of database code, "clean up" typically means to roll back, something I will discuss in more detail in the next section. Logging is not mandatory, but it helps forensic investigations. And terminate means just that – your code stops executing. Termination can be done in different ways. Typically you should reraise the error, so that the caller can make its own decisions. Maybe the caller anticipated your failure and has a plan B. Or it hasn't, and the caller will apply the same measures and so the call stack unwinds, and maybe eventually all execution will terminate – there was simply no safe ground to find. Which in the case of stored procedure called from an application is quite a common case. (And then it is up to the application is to find safe ground. For a GUI application that would be to wait for user input in the form from which the database call was made.)
The final point is communicate. Almost always you should communicate the error one way or another. For unanticipated errors this is normally done by reraising the error. Never must you silently terminate without explaining why. When it comes to anticipated errors, it is a little different. In the example above where you try to delete and in case of a foreign-key error set an isactive column to 0, there is rarely reason to make a noise about this. On the other hand, if you are processing data from an untrusted source, any errors should be raised to the caller, logged into an error table or whatever that fits into the context.
An Ideal Handling of Transactions?
If you program a database application, and you write error-handling code, you need to consider the possibility that there may be a transaction in progress. How to deal with this? Let's first look at this from a general perspective. Ideally, a stored procedure should only meddle with its own work. That is, if an error occurs inside a transaction, the procedure should roll back all work the procedure has performed inside that transaction. Or more exactly, it should roll back to the starting point for the piece of atomic work. The procedure may have performed other units of atomic work before that point, which it sees little reason to roll back.
But if the caller has an outer transaction, the procedure should not roll back that outer transaction, but only communicate the error to the caller, and then it is up to the caller what to do with the error. Maybe roll back, maybe try a plan B. Note that the caller here does not have to be an outer stored procedure, but it could also be a client program. What we are aiming for here is a strictly modular transaction scope.
Can this be achieved in SQL Server? The answer is largely negative. True, we could code your procedures this way (for brevity, I use the syntax introduced in SQL 2008 where variables can be initiated in the DECLARE statement):
CREATE PROCEDURE SinisterFootwear AS
 DECLARE @havetran bit = CASE @@trancount = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END,
 @tranname varchar(32) = replace(convert(char(36), newid()), '-','')
 BEGIN TRY
 IF @havetran = 0
 BEGIN TRANSACTION @tranname
 ELSE
 SAVE TRANSACTION @tranname
 -- Do work nere
 IF @havetran = 0
 COMMIT TRANSACTION
 END TRY
 BEGIN CATCH
 ROLLBACK TRANSACTION @tranname
 EXEC error_handler_sp
 END CATCH
That is, if there already is an active transaction when the procedure commences executing, we don't issue a new BEGIN TRANSACTION, but instead we create a savepoint with SAVE TRANSACTION. @tranname is a GUID (with the dashes stripped, to fit in 32 characters), which we can trust to be unique. At the end of the TRY block, we commit only if we own the transaction ourselves. In the CATCH block we roll back, but only our own work. That is, only if we started the transaction ourselves we roll back it all, else we only roll back to the savepoint.
What's wrong with this model? There are several conflicts with the principles I presented in the previous section.
So while the above is noble, and may even be implementable in Oracle or DB2, this is SQL Server, and we need to find something simpler – and something more simple-minded. SQL Server itself is a horrible place when it comes to error-handling. Please don't get me wrong, I think the above is highly desirable, but to achieve this in SQL Server, there are a couple of things that Microsoft would need to address. Here is a quick outline of the most important points:
All this said, there is a corner of SQL Server where all points but the third are covered: natively compiled stored procedures which I presented in Part Two. But since their feature set is so limited, it is not much of help for our daily chores where the main bulk of our code will be traditional stored procedures even if we embrace In-Memory OLTP.
Throw Your Ideals Away – This is SQL Server
If the conclusion from the previous section is that we cannot roll back to a savepoint, what do we do in case of an unanticipated error? The answer is: roll back the entire transaction. Something went wrong, what we don't know, but we cannot take responsibility for that data produced by the transaction is consistent. Since we can't fulfil our contract, we must roll back it all.
We have seen that different errors in SQL Server have different outcomes and trying to understand all these possibilities can be quite confusing. But we can summarise the situation in a couple of points. As long as you run with XACT_ABORT OFF and there is no TRY-CATCH, the following applies:
 1. You cannot rely on that an error will abort the execution; execution may continue with the next statement.
 2. You cannot rely on that you will be able to process or log the error; the error may abort the execution.
 3. You cannot rely on that any open transaction will survive the error.
 4. You cannot rely on that the transaction will be rolled back because of the error.
 5. You cannot rely on that you will be able to roll back the transaction yourself in case of an error – execution may be aborted and leave the transaction orphaned.
 6. Even if you don't start a transaction in your procedure yourself, and nor is one active when your procedure starts executing, you cannot rely on that there is no active transaction when your procedure exits – a procedure you call may start a transaction and then run into a scope-aborting compilation error.
 7. If you have an open transaction and call another stored procedure, that procedure may have rolled back the transaction when it returns.
Or with other words, you have very little control.
If you run with XACT_ABORT ON, but you don't use TRY-CATCH, this changes for the points above:
 1. Still applicable, but the number of errors for which this can happen is largely reduced.
 2. Fully applicable.
 3. Fully applicable.
 4. Still applicable, but the number of errors for which this can happen is largely reduced.
 5. Entirely voided. If execution is aborted, the transaction is always rolled back – recall that this also applies to attention signals.
 6. Entirely voided. With XACT_ABORT ON, these errors abort the batch.
 7. Still applicable, but the number of errors for which this can happen is largely reduced.
This is quite an improvement; you have almost a consistent and safe behaviour. But there are a few situations where you have to be careful:
Despite these holes, using SET XACT_ABORT ON is good enough as your sole error handling in a simple system where you only have a handful of procedures that don't nest, or for something you assemble fairly quickly for a proof-of-concept. The main concern in the list above is RAISERROR in nested procedures, so one could argue that in SQL 2012 and later, it's better to use ;THROW, since ;THROW always aborts the execution and rolls back the transaction when XACT_ABORT is ON.
What if you use TRY-CATCH, but do not use XACT_ABORT ON?
 1. Voided. Execution is diverted to the CATCH block.
 2. Still applicable, if reduced. But you cannot catch compilation errors in the TRY block.
 3. Still applicable; the transaction may be doomed.
 4. Still applicable, but reduced. Compilation errors are still a problem.
 5. Still applicable, only reduced for ;THROW.
 6. Voided, as you can control this in the CATCH block.
 7. Voided.

Kness Ant-No-More is an outdoor ant control station which can be filled with insecticide bait.
It is recommended to use a bait insecticide to kill ants. Certain species of ants, like pharaoh ants, when sprayed can create additional colonies which makes eliminating them much more difficult. Another reason why it is not recommended to use residual insecticides or contact killers on ants is that this will never kill the Queen of a colony. Spraying a residual or using a contact killer merely kills the worker ants. The key to have the ants disappear is having a bait brought back to the ants nest so it can be dispersed within. Once this occurs, the ant colony will collapse and die. In addition, ants must live to carry the insecticidal bait back to their colony. If a residual was sprayed first and then a bait was placed down, the ants would die in transit. The bait would then be useless.
For these reasons, it is important to use a ant control station outdoors to eliminate and prevent ant infestations.
This product is used with Greenway Ant Bait or the Greenway Liquid Ant Bait. The special desgin of the Ant No More allows it to use both gel and liquid simultaneously. This is because there is a divider inside the bait holder.


Rendering Views and Updating them with Ajax
This wiki article has not been tagged with a corresponding Yii version yet.
Help us improve the wiki by updating the version information.
I wanted to implement a widget that could refresh itself through Ajax without refreshing the whole page. CGridView and CListView are excellent examples of such widgets.
I spent some time trying to understand how a controller renders it's view(s) and then looked at the actionAdmin and actionIndex actions of an app generated by gii. The views generated by these actions contain CGridView and CListView widgets respectively.
My case study was a simple Dashboard application, where I have two view – left and right in the same page (layout file). The sequence diagram outlines how these two pieces are rendered and how they're merged with the layout file to generate a page the user will see. I came up with the sequence diagram below.
If the pieces appear unfamiliar to you, you might want to read – Rendering View Files in Yii here (if this link get's deleted, google the title).
Sequence Diagram
It might be worth mentioning that, the default implementation of the aforementioned widgets, requests the "owning" controller (the one that created the widget) to render it's entire view again through an Ajax request. When a response arrives, the html response (page) is parsed using jQuery and the section (div) that the widget is interested in is extracted. The widget's contents are then replaced with the extracted (partial contents) one.
In a typical application's controller, where one might be displaying several models/views, it might make sense to write a controller that returns just the partially rendered view without any layout applied. This should cut down some time for you depending on how complex your views/models are. This approach, if thought out carefully should also maximize code sharing.
If I have provided inaccurate information, please feel free to comment and let me know.

The Role of 5 MVA Power Transformers in Industrial Settings
Power transformers are essential components in industrial settings, and the 5 MVA power transformer plays a critical role in many applications. Here are some of the key roles that 5 MVA power transformers play in industrial settings:
 - Voltage Regulation: 5 MVA power transformers are used to regulate the voltage of electrical power systems. They can step up or step down the voltage depending on the application, allowing for efficient power transmission and distribution.
 - Power Distribution: 5 MVA power transformers are often used to distribute power from high-voltage transmission lines to lower-voltage distribution systems. They help to ensure that power is distributed evenly and reliably to various areas in an industrial setting.
 - Motor Starting: In many industrial applications, large motors are used to drive equipment. 5 MVA power transformers are often used to supply the necessary voltage and current to start these motors, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
 - Power Quality Improvement: Power transformers can help to improve the quality of power by reducing voltage fluctuations and harmonics. This is especially important in industrial settings where sensitive equipment can be damaged by poor power quality.
 - Energy Efficiency: 5 MVA power transformers can help to improve the energy efficiency of industrial systems. By regulating voltage and reducing losses in power transmission and distribution, they can help to reduce energy consumption and costs.
 - Backup Power: Power transformers can also play a role in providing backup power in industrial settings. They can be used to connect backup generators to the main power system, ensuring uninterrupted power supply in the event of an outage.
In summary, 5 MVA power transformers play a critical role in many industrial applications, helping to regulate voltage, distribute power, improve power quality, increase energy efficiency, and provide backup power. They are essential components in modern industrial systems and help to ensure efficient and reliable operation.


Enhanced sorption cycle stability and kinetics of CO2 on lithium silicates using lithium ion channeling effect of TiO2 nanotubes
J. S. Lee, C. T. Yavuz*
Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., accepted.
DOI: 10.1021/acs.iecr.6b04918.
Lithium silicate (Li4SiO4) is a promising high temperature CO2 sorbent because of its large CO2 capacity at elevated temperatures with low materials cost. However, the conventional nonporous Li4SiO4 shows very poor CO2 adsorption kinetics. Thus, a Li4SiO4–TiO2 nanotubes complex was synthesized where LiOH and fumed silica would be calcined around TiO2 nanotubes. TiO2 nanotubes in Li4SiO4 structure functioning as open highways, lithium ions were able to channel through the bulky structure and enhance the sorption kinetics, leading the total adsorption capacity to near theoretical values. Furthermore, cyclic studies at 700 °C revealed strong stability over at least 10 cycles. These findings indicate that stability and kinetics of CO2 sorption can be greatly improved by the nanotube composites of known adsorbents.

Volume strain: Due to the application of external force, if the volume of an elastic body is changed without changing its shape, the strain is called volume strain. It is measured by the unit change of volume.
Explanation: It is the ratio of the change in volume of a body to its original volume. If VV is the original volume of a body and V + ΔV is the volume of the body under the action of normal stress, the change in volume is ΔV.
Let the initial volume of an object = V and due to application of external force the change of volume = ΔV.
So, according to definition, volume strain = change of volume / original volume = ΔV /V
So, the volumetric strain is the unit change in volume, i.e. the change in volume divided by the original volume.

PLATELET GELATINASES AND SURVIVAL OF BREAST CANCER PATIENTS WITH OBESITY: THE RELATIONSHIP WITH MENOPAUSAL STATUS

Summary. Obesity increases the risk of developing and worsens the course of some types of cancer, in particular breast cancer (BC). It is known about the paradoxical influence of obesity on the course of breast cancer associated with the menopausal status of patients. Aim: to investigate survival in connection with the levels of generation of superoxide radicals and activity of platelet gelatinases, the redox state of the tumor-adjacent adipose tissue (TAAT), the body mass index (BMI) and the menopausal status of patients with breast cancer. Object and methods: TAAT samples (post-operative material) and blood samples of 70 women with breast cancer were studied. EPR spectrometry, polyacrylamide gel zymography, general clinical and statistical methods were used. Results: in premenopausal patients, the rate of generation of superoxide radicals (SR) by platelets at normal weight and obesity does not differ, while in postmenopausal patients there is a significant difference between them (p<0.05) (by 1.4 times). An association between the levels of platelet and TAAT SR in postmenopausal patients was revealed. In premenopausal patients, the difference between the activity of platelet gelatinases in obesity and normal weight is unreliable (p>0.05), while in postmenopause there is a significant reliable difference (p<0.05) in the indicators of the total activity of MMP-2 and -9 according to normal weight and obesity (in 2.3 times). For postmenopausal patients, there is a high reliable association of activity indicators of platelet gelatinases and the speed of their SR generation. With platelet MMP-2 activity levels higher than 42 IU, patients had a significantly shorter life expectancy (p = 0.02) and a higher risk of adverse disease course (HR = 2.7) compared with lower enzyme activity levels. With platelet MMP-9 activity levels higher than 65 IU, patients had a significantly shorter life expectancy (p = 0.04) and a higher risk of adverse disease course (HR = 1.75) compared with lower enzyme activity levels. Conclusions: it is likely that in postmenopause, obesity is the most important prothrombogenic factor, which contributes to the survival of disseminated tumor cells (DTC) in the vascular bed and metastasis. This is due to the fact that estrogen metabolites additionally disturb the balance in the redox state of adipose tissue, thereby contributing to the deepening of systemic oxidative stress and thrombus formation. The obtained results indicate the prospect of finding and researching the factors that determine the paradoxical effect of obesity on the course of breast cancer, as promising prognostic markers for personalized approaches in anticancer therapy.
