Air quality monitoring in Auckland dates back to 1964 when TSP and lead monitoring commenced at the Global Environmental Monitoring (GEMs) site in Penrose and at a site in Mt Albert. Additional monitoring at the Penrose GEMs site included sulphur dioxide (SO2) and smoke monitoring in 1975, NOx in 1987, PM10 in 1994 and PM2.5 in 1997. Monitoring of smoke and SO2 was discontinued during 2000. A second Auckland GEMs monitoring site was established in 1975 in Mt Eden, initially measuring lead and TSP, with the additions of NOx in 1991 and PM10 and PM2.5 in 1997.
The seven-day average TSP data from Auckland suggests some decrease in TSP concentrations since the 1970s, particularly at the Penrose monitoring site (Figure 3.1). The extent to which this reflects reductions in the PM10 component is uncertain.
Details of the air quality PM10 monitoring sites within the Auckland region up until December 2001 are shown in Table 3.1. These include a number of industrial and traffic monitoring sites as well as the Henderson, Takapuna, Mt Eden and Manukau residential sites.
Table 3.2 summarises the PM10 concentrations measured at the Auckland residential ambient air quality monitoring sites until December 2001. The table shows that exceedences of the 24-hour average guideline value occur at Takapuna (1997) and Henderson (1999). Extrapolations of this measured data show that if monitoring was undertaken every day during the winter months, it is likely that more exceedences of the guideline value would have occurred.
Because the proportion of days monitored at most sites is low, annual average results for some years and sites have not been reported owing to potential errors associated with limited sampling. For this report, a reporting criterion for annual averages of 15% has been used. The sample error associated with this is around 12%. Data indicates some annual average guideline value exceedences in Henderson and Mt Eden. Although the annual average concentrations for Takapuna using the TEOM method are below the annual average guideline value, this method tends to under-report PM10 concentrations relative to the required gravimetric method. Section 13.1 estimates the impact of the TEOM monitoring method on reported 24-hour and annual average concentrations. Data for Manukau are excluded because of potential inaccuracies associated with the optical monitoring method.
Figures 3.2 and 3.3 show the percentage of measured 24-hour average PM10 concentrations within the air quality categories at "residential neighbourhood" monitoring sites in Auckland. These figures show that the majority of concentrations are within the acceptable and good air quality categories for PM10. Figures 3.4 and 3.5 show the percentage of measured 24-hour average PM10 concentrations within the air quality categories at the Penrose "industrial dense" and the Khyber Pass "traffic peak" monitoring sites. Both the annual and 24-hour average guideline values have been breached at these sites.


Frequently Asked Questions
Colonial often receives questions about what we do and how we operate. Below are some of the more common questions we receive. If you can't find an answer to your question here, or elsewhere on our website, please contact us.
.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of petroleum products are transported by Colonial?
Colonial transports various grades of gasoline, diesel fuel, home heating oil, jet fuel and fuels for the U.S. military. The products Colonial carries are fungible, meaning they are interchangeable. The different brands of gasoline take on their specific brand qualities when additives are placed in the product by our customers, and after the product has left the pipeline.
Colonial has active product codes for 38 different grades of gasoline-including reformulated gasoline (RFG) and multiple vapor pressures for each grade, seven grades of kerosene (including two for military), 16 grades of home heating oil and diesel fuel (including diesel fuel marine for the U.S. Navy and light cycle oil) and one grade of transmix. Of the 62 codes, 29 are for fungible products and 33 are for products that must be shipped on a segregated basis.
How big are batches?
Mainline batches vary from 75,000 to 3,200,000 barrels. The smallest mainline batch (75,000 barrels) may be made up of three 25,000-barrel fungible batches. Batches delivered on smaller stublines vary from 2,500 barrels minimum up to 350,000 barrels.
What is the difference between fungible and segregated products?
Fungible products shipped on the Colonial system are generic products. These products meet published Colonial specifications. Shippers will receive equivalent product but may not get back the actual product shipped. Segregated products are branded products or blendstock materials. On segregated shipments shippers receive the same product they injected into the system.
How are different grades of product kept separate in the pipeline?
Different product batches are pushed through the system abutting each other. The stream is always in a turbulent flow condition which minimizes mixing. Products are sequenced in the pipeline according to their characteristics. For example, regular unleaded gasoline may be shipped next to a batch of premium unleaded gasoline. When the flow of product is "cut" or diverted for delivery or into a storage tanks, the "cut" is made to protect the entire premium gasoline batch, thus allowing some premium to be added to the regular, unleaded gasoline. Similar steps are taken to protect distillate products such as jet fuel, Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and home heating oil. When products with incompatible characteristics come into contact with each other, the resulting interface is defined as transmix. Transmix is stored separately and re-processed into a useful product.
What are Colonial's quantity requirements for shipments?
Colonial's minimum quantity or "tender" of products to be shipped on a segregated batch basis is 75,000 barrels. However, several shippers may make up joint fungible batches by tendering a minimum of 25,000 barrels each. Deliveries to final destinations in most cases may carry from a minimum of 2,500 barrels delivered on stublines to 5,000 barrels delivered on mainlines.
How fast do products move in the pipeline?
At about three to five miles per hour in mainlines. The greater the volume being transported on a given day, the faster the product moves. It generally takes from 14 to 24 days for a batch to get from Houston, Texas to the New York harbor, with 18.5 days the average time.
Who owns the petroleum being transported?
The shipping companies. Colonial neither buys nor sells petroleum products. It provides transportation services only. On average, it costs between two cents and 4.5 cents to transport a gallon of fuel. Guidelines for rates charged by Colonial and other petroleum pipelines are set annually by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Companies can then apply for rate changes, which are reviewed by the FERC. Transportation costs are stable and do not fluctuate with the cost of crude oil or prices at the pump.
What are "smart pigs?"
Smart pigs is a term used to describe sophisticated electronic equipment that travels inside the pipeline looking for anomalies or signs of the pipe wall weakening. Different tools are designed for different purposes, such as detecting cracks, thinning of the wall or other issues that would require the pipeline to be excavated for closer inspection and, if necessary, repaired or replaced. Research into technology such as smart pigs is an important investment in pipeline safety made by Colonial, the rest of the pipeline industry, the U.S. goverment's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).
Do older pipelines need to be replaced?
Properly maintained, steel pipelines can last virtually forever. This requires proper maintenance, inspections and steps to prevent corrosion. When a section of pipeline needs repair, it can be cut out and replaced with new pipe. If the issues are located in a relatively small section of pipe, operators will sometimes install a "sleeve" around that section of pipe. Once welded in place, the repaired section of pipe is ready to be placed into service. The proper maintenance and inspection of pipelines are but two ways pipeline companies ensure the safety of their operations.
Call Before You Dig

Why does yooz leak liquid?
Why does yooz grapefruit leak liquid? Many users of yooz grapefruit have long been troubled by the problem of Vape leakage, so why does yooz grapefruit leak liquid? To understand this, we must first figure out the cause of yooz pomelo leakage.
 1. Why does yooz grapefruit leak liquid?
In fact, liquid leakage from electronic atomization is a relatively common phenomenon, and the mainstream electronic atomization products currently on the market basically have such problems. It can be said that if you choose electronic atomization, you must accept and understand such a phenomenon. This is not a question of which agency or brand. It is a common industry problem, and yooz vape pod system grapefruit is no exception.
In fact, in many cases, the liquid leaks when the manufacturer sends it to the distributors, and the distributors are helpless. Under normal circumstances, slight liquid leakage in the cartridge is a normal phenomenon, as long as you open the package and wipe it clean and install it, it will not affect normal use.
 1. Is it condensate or leaking liquid?
Another situation is that condensate will appear during the operation of the atomizer, which is mistaken for leaking by the user. Therefore, we must first learn to distinguish the difference between condensate and smoke liquid.
How is the condensate produced? Generally speaking, the smoke liquid is not inhaled after being atomized. The PG (alcohol fusion agent) in the smoke liquid is condensed in the air to form a liquid containing a small amount of smoke liquid. Inhalation will eventually taste sweet and irritating. Let everyone mistake it for leaking liquid. The color of the condensed night is dark brown, and the liquid leaked by the smoke bomb is mainly light yellow, which is still very different.

Philadelphia Museum of Art: Handbook of the Collections
Like the neighboring Kota, the Fang people made reliquary guardian figures that were placed above containers holding the bones of ancestors. Fang guardians, however, are not nearly as stylized as Kota examples. They most often represent full-bodied figures whose sculptural forms are created to transmit aspects of Fang philosophy. The Fang believe that the successful person is able to balance the opposing forces within the environment and the persona, such as male and female or youth and age. Concomitantly, successful Fang sculptures display similar qualities of equilibrium and life, as are admirably expressed in the tensions between the muscular legs, hips, arms, and shoulders and the more columnar neck and torso of this powerful male guardian. Additional vitality was given through repeated applications of palm oil, which resulted in the thick brown patina, and the now missing metal disks around the eyes, which provided constant vigilance. It would be surprising if the Arensbergs, who owned this figure, did not admire its affinities to their 1909 drawing of a man by Pablo Picasso, which displays the same sturdy equilibrium.

Containment Booms
Oil Containment Booms
During spill responses, sensitive locations are threatened by oil slicks, but these areas can be protected by using specialized equipment, such as oil booms. An oil boom, also referred to as a containment boom, is a temporary floating barrier designed to contain an oil spill. Oil booms reduce the possibility of pollution on shorelines, rivers, and oceans while collecting oil in thick surface layers to allow for easy recovery for your company.
ABASCO manufactures oil containment booms in our facility located in Humble, Texas. Our oil booms are designed using plastic, metal or other materials to slow the spread of oil and keep it contained. We manufacture a full line of oil spill containment booms for all applications and environmental conditions, including conventional booms, air-inflated booms, self-inflating booms and permanent booms.
Floating Oil Boom Types
There are several types of oil containment booms that ABASCO manufactures depending on the application and conditions.
 - Inland/Nearshore Oil Booms: Utilize smaller floatation members and lighter weight ballasts, which are best for applications with light wind and small waves.
 - Offshore Oil Booms: These containment booms usually have larger floatation members and can handle heavier ballasts.
Containment Boom Frequently Asked Questions
How do containment booms work?
The primary purpose of a containment boom is to contain and limit the area which has been impacted by a hydrocarbon or chemical spills. A floating boom's performance is determined based upon buoyancy, roll response and heave response within a given application to contain hydrocarbons or chemicals generally during a spill event. These application factors will better determine which is the right containment boom design and options using several evaluation criteria.
What are the benefits to using containment booms?
Oil booms mitigate the negative impact to the environment caused by hydrocarbon or chemical spills and also reduce financial impacts through timely cleanup which limits the area exposed to the spill.
What are the various types of boom used for oil spill containment?
The most common types of containment booms are conventional curtain boom, permanent boom, fence boom, air inflated boom, self inflated boom and tidal/shoreline booms.
Where can I use a containment boom?
In accordance with local, state and federal guidelines a containment boom can be used on most bodies of water based upon using the correct boom selection criteria and deployment techniques to properly contain a hydrocarbon or chemical spill.
What factors determine what type of boom I need?
Several criteria are utilized for proper containment boom selection to include water body classifications (ASTM F1523 or OPA 90) which is based upon wave heights and conditions. These determine the basic physical design requirements including overall boom height and reserve buoyancy. Additional considerations would be a boom's roll response in currents; heave response in waves; freeboard height and skirt depth and forces on the boom which will require a review of oil boom strength.
How do I store and care for my boom?
Oil booms should be cared for in accordance with an operations and maintenance manual where the boom is preferably not exposed to sunlight, harsh weather conditions or rodents which can damage the boom fabric. Additional considerations would be the boom stack height; secured on pallets to avoid abrasion; properly cleaned after deployments and repairs made if any operational damage in accordance with repair kit instructions.
What types of boom accessories will I need?
Depending upon deployment requirements, boom accessories can include tow bridles, handles, repair kits, anchor kits, rope, lighted buoys, shoreline anchors, storage boxes, boom reels, deployment rollers or pads and other potential items based upon the location requirements.
How effective are oil booms?
Oil spill containment boom effectiveness is based upon a proper evaluation of the location conditions and utilizing the selection criteria for the correct containment boom which includes a review of the float/skirt heights, tensile strength and reserve buoyancy. Following the proper deployment and containment guidelines should result in proper boom containment performance in most cases.

As indispensable parts of the tanks for oil and chemical storage and transportation, the tank floors have stringent nondestructive testing requirements owing to their severe operating conditions. In this article, a synthetic aperture focusing technology method is proposed for the circumferential scanning of the tank floor outside the tank using ultrasonic guided waves. The magnetostrictive patch transducer (MPT) is designed and manufactured for the generation and receiving of the SH0 mode. Based on the exploding reflector model (ERM), the relationships between guided wave fields at different radii of polar coordinates are derived in the frequency domain. The defect spot is focused when the sound field is calculated at the radius of the defect. Experimental validations are performed for the defect inspection in an iron plate. The angular bandwidth of the defect spot is used as an index for the angular resolution. The results of the proposed method show significant improvement compared to those obtained by the B-scan method, and it is found to be superior to the conventional method—named delay and sum (DAS) in both angular resolution and calculation efficiency.

The PS3 is no stranger to science. [email protected] was one of the first applications designed to take advantage of the PS3's powerful cell processor for medical purposes. Now, scientists have used the PS3 to solve one of the many mysteries surrounding black holes.
Scientists at the University of Alabama and the University of Massachusetts created a cluster of 16 PS3s to run research on the vibration of black holes. Though the PS3 has been used to assist research in the past, this experiment is the first one done exclusively on the console. While supercomputers can be rented out, the cost of doing so is astronomical, according to Dr. Lior Burko, professor at UA: "If we had rented computing time from a supercomputer center it would have cost us about $5,000 to run our simulation one time. For this project we ran our simulation several dozens of times to test different parameters and circumstances, so you can see how much that would have cost us." The PS3 cluster, on the other hand, only cost $6,000 to build, and allowed scientists to run as many simulations as they needed for no additional cost.
For those interested in the research itself, this experiment resolved a dispute over what speed black holes stop vibrating. This vibration occurs when a black hole first forms, or when it swallows up matter. Burko compared this vibration to that of a bell, except with gravitational waves instead of sound waves. The experiment used the PS3 cluster to simulate a vibrating black hole and then found out how long it took to return to its "quiet" state.

Methods to Repair Corrupted MDF and LDF Files
03 Feb
MS SQL Server is a relational database management system that is used for storing and retrieval of data when requested by other applications. The SQL database mainly comprises of three files- MDF, NDF and LDF. The first two files from the primary and secondary database of SQL Server and the latter stores the log database of SQL server database transactions. While the data files and the log file are accessed by a common server, these files do not share the same location for their storage. Both the data files and the log file are associated with SQL server; in this blog however, we will restrict our discussion to how to repair corrupted .mdf and .ldf files.
Primary & Log Database of SQL Server
Primary database aka Main Database File (MDF) as the name suggests is the main database file of SQL Server that are associated with other files. There exists only a single MDF file for every SQL Server database, which stores data items like triggers, views, stored procedures, etc. It would not be wrong to say that MDF file is the primary element for administration of SQL database.
The LDF (Log Database File) store the entire log information of the transactions or activities carried out in the SQL Server. They play a very crucial role in the restoration of SQL server data in cases of data disaster. The size limitation of LDF is decided at the time of the database designing. Information related to records updation, record deletion, insertion of new record, etc.
Corruption in MDF and LDF Files
Maintaining the database integrity of SQL server is the top priority of the users as any mishap can lead to loss of data that at times cannot be recovered easily. There can be umpteen reasons, which can end the MDF and LDF files in a corrupted state. Some of the reasons for MDF and LDF corruption are:
 1. The biggest reason behind the corruption of MDF and LDF files is the storage size. In case the data exceeds the limit of MDF and LDF file, corruption is likely to occur.
 2. In case the SQL server database is modified during the DROP operation, there are great chances of MDF and LDF files corruption.
 3. Hardware issues such as problem in the hard drive sector storing the SQL database, may lead to corruption of the database.
 4. Virus intrusion is also an important factor when it comes to corruption of MDF and LDF files.
Manual Solutions to Repair Corrupted MDF and LDF Files
In order to repair a corrupt MDF and LDF file, DBCC CHECKDB command can be used. It recovers the data from a corrupt SQL database file that has been damaged due reason such as logical corruption. This involves running an executable code in the SQL server in order to repair corrupted MDF and LDF files.
dbcc-checkdb
Note: Before running the DBCC CHCKDB command, the backup of the existing database should be taken.
In case the repair process fails and the backup of the MDF and LDF files does not exist, the user will not be able to restore the database back to its original state and hence will end up in having a corrupt MDF and LDF file.
Alternate Solution to Repair Corrupted MDF and LDF Files
Regarding the drawbacks of the manual procedure to repair corrupted MDF and LDF files, third party solutions are preferred over them. One such commercial utility that can be deployed for repair corrupted MDF and LDF files is SQL Server Database Recovery Tool. The software recovers the entire data from corrupt MDF and LDF files and save it in SQL compatible scripts or directly in SQL server database.

The Importance of Environmental Lapse Rate
The Environmental Lapse Rate (ELR) plays a crucial role in the success of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems. AAL refers to technology-based solutions that support independent living for elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities. These systems utilize various sensors and devices to monitor the environment and provide assistance when needed. Understanding the environmental lapse rate is essential for designing effective AAL systems.
Defining the Environmental Lapse Rate
The environmental lapse rate is the rate at which temperature decreases with increasing altitude in the atmosphere. It is an important factor in determining weather patterns and climate conditions. The lapse rate varies depending on various factors such as air density, pressure, and moisture content.
Implications for Ambient Assisted Living
For Ambient Assisted Living systems, the environmental lapse rate has significant implications. These systems rely on temperature sensors to detect variations in the surrounding environment. By understanding the lapse rate, AAL systems can adjust their operations accordingly and provide appropriate assistance.
Optimizing AAL Systems
To optimize the performance of AAL systems, it is necessary to consider the environmental lapse rate. By taking this factor into account during system design, developers can ensure accurate temperature readings and more reliable operations. This, in turn, enhances the overall success of AAL systems in supporting independent living.
Q: How does the environmental lapse rate affect AAL systems?
A: The environmental lapse rate impacts AAL systems by influencing temperature variations. These systems rely on accurate temperature readings to provide appropriate assistance. By understanding the lapse rate, AAL systems can adjust their operations accordingly.
Q: Are there any other factors besides the lapse rate that affect AAL system performance?
A: Yes, besides the environmental lapse rate, factors such as humidity levels, air pressure, and air quality can also impact the performance of AAL systems. These factors must be considered during system design and calibration.
Q: How can developers address the environmental lapse rate in AAL system design?
A: Developers can address the environmental lapse rate by incorporating accurate temperature sensors and algorithms that account for temperature variations. Additionally, regular calibration and maintenance of the sensors is necessary to ensure optimal performance.
The environmental lapse rate plays a key role in the success of Ambient Assisted Living systems. By understanding this factor and incorporating it into system design, developers can enhance the accuracy and reliability of temperature readings. This, in turn, improves the overall effectiveness of AAL systems in supporting independent living. Considering the environmental lapse rate is crucial for creating advanced and efficient AAL solutions.


text: By statistical treatment of air-pressure data at the summit of Int. Fuji, an attempt was made to discuss the year by year fluctuations in variability of the magnitude of North Pacific anticyclone during _PHONE_ in the relation to characteristic of summer. The air-pressure, at the height of the observation station (3, 772m), generally varies from 625 mb in winter to 650 mb in summer. The properties of summer is well discribed by a dominancy of the North Pacific anticyclone over Japan. From the 45-year mean annual variation of the air-pressure at Mt. Fuji, it can be seen that the period from July through September, i.e., period including the midsummer, coincides with the one when the air-pressure is above 645 mb. Accordingly, the value of 645 mb is adopted as the representative of the dominancy of the North Pacific anticyclone in the present study. Then following four indices are defined. Nam ely, (A) first day of period above 645 mb in air-pressure at the summit of Mt. Fuji, (B) last day of the period, (C) total number of days for the period and (D) accumulated air-pressure above 645 mb. In addition, (E) ending day of Baiu and (F) total number of days of south-high-north-low surface pressure pattern (summer-type pressure pattern) are discriminative for summer con-ditions. Correlation coefficients among the time series (A)-(F) were calculated. The correlation coefficients between (D) and (E) and between (D) and (F) were -0.556 and 0.712 respectively. The accumulated air-pressure is recognized as a significant indication for summer conditions. Variation of the value of index (D) was represented to be at maximum stages in the beginning of the analyzed period (_PHONE_), and in the middle (_PHONE_), and at a minimum stage during the decade of _PHONE_. After 1963, the fluctuation of the index has been large (see Fig. 5). It indicates that the climate of summer has recently tended to be unstable. According to agricultural data, cold weather damages over Japan occurred twelve times throughout the analyzed period. All the damaged years except 1945, 1964 and 1969 were clearly in accordance with the negative anomaly of the accumulated air-pressure values. In 1980, for example, unusual low temperatures were due to northeasterly cold air advecR tion following the blocking activities over the Sea of Okhotsk. The magnitude of North Pacific anticyclone was remarkably weak and the value of the accumulated air-pressure above 645 mb was reduced to 104. 1 mb day, only 55 percent of the mean value. We can thus investigate a variation of summer property using the indices mentioned above for analyses of the climatic change.

The infusion of market-logic has undermined American universities as democratic institutions. This issue was examined through an analysis of what role universities play in democratic governance. As a philosophical inquiry, the data were seminal texts from political science, education, and philosophy, such as those by Alexis de Tocqueville, John Dewey, and Henry Giroux. The most salient theme unveiled by this study was how central universities are to functional democracy, both as key fixtures and critics. However, universities have adopted market-logic ideologies, which inhibit universities' abilities to function as democratic institutions. The study concludes by calling for a reinvigoration of the public, requiring universities to maintain a public nature. Such transparency lives in tension with neoliberal efforts to privatize public institutions, so universities must provide spaces for debates on that tension. In this way, universities will be able to embody the democratic dispositions necessary for supporting and defending democratic values.

Is there are some references to algorithms that generate the set of prime numbers located between two given numbers n1 and n2?
I would like to consider the cases when n1 is large while n2-n1 is small or while n2-n1 is large.
If we consider these cases:
[1] n1=$2^{10}$ & n2=$2^{11}$;
[2] n1=$2^{40}$ & n2=$2^{45}$, (modified to [2a]);
[3] n1=$2^{100}$ & n2=$2^{101}$, (modified to [3a]);
[4] n1=$2^{1000}$ & n2=$2^{1001}$, (modified to [4a]);
Is there is a well known algorithm to generate the set of all primes p ∈ [n1,n2] without generating all primes p < n1?
By considering for example these cases:
[2a] n1=$2^{40}$ & n2=$2^{40}+2^{20}$;
[3a] n1=$2^{100}$ & n2=$2^{100}+2^{20}$;
[4a] n1=$2^{1000}$ & n2=$2^{1000}+2^{20}$.

How do $n_1$ and $n_2$ compare? I think the answers below are assuming that $n_1$ is significantly larger than $n_2-n_1$. – David Speyer Jul 25 '10 at 18:35
_USER_: Without this assumption he could just generate all primes less $n_1$ using Atkin's sieve (_URL_.html) if $n_2$ is around $10^{15}$ or simply forget about it if $n_2$ is much bigger. – j.p. Jul 25 '10 at 20:48
What do you consider large and what small? E.g., is $n_1$ around 1000 bit long? And does the "large" for $n_1$ mean the same as the "large" for $n_2−n_1$? (I wouldn't try to find all primes in an interval of length $2^{1000}$, but finding primes of size $2^{1000}$ is no problem.) – Someone Jul 26 '10 at 8:44
Is there any reason why you don't want to generate the primes $8\cdot10^8$. Only about 12 kB of memory are needed to store all the primes up to the square root of that limit, so the fourth power trick doesn't seem viable here at all -- by the time you run out of primary memory you shouldn't be sieving at all.

_USER_: may be your example is correct and valid when the interval $[n_1,n_2]$ is small compared with $n_2$, but when the interval is relatively wide, (for example when $n_1=n_2/2$), the same demonstration can be used to prove the contrary. – Mohammed Marey Jul 27 '10 at 18:57
I used the width you used. For any fixed interval width it can be shown that beyond some fixed point, standard sieving (Eratosthenes/Atkin) is less efficient than testing each member in the range. (If you implement the algorithms yourself, it's obvious.) But of course I intend for the argument to go both ways: when the interval is wide compared to its height, sieving is better -- often vastly better. – Charles Jul 27 '10 at 19:36
_USER_: Yes, you are true, the efficiency of the used algorithm depends on the value of $n_1$ and $n_2$. – Mohammed Marey Jul 28 '10 at 21:16
If $n_1$ and $n_2$ are not too big you can use Eratosthenes sieve (see wikipedia for this). If they are big enought you can use sieve to cross out numbers which have small prime divisors and after that check every number that wasn't crossed out and check if it is prime using any primality test (see _URL_

$\kappa w(x)^2 L\approx kT$.
There are a famous nonlinear equations that come cheerfully close to your problem but miss it. Example: Sine-Gordon Equation where instead of $|w(x)|$ you would have $1-\cos [w(x)]$. Actually more up to the point would be the Sinh-Gordon... which reminds me of the Toda field theory which describes a Toda lattice. A Toda lattice is a nonlinear set of coupled equations that describe a set of nonlinearly coupled particles. If you are working in the liquid state, I doubt that they would be relevant. $w(x)^2$ should be good enough but the dissipative terms will be more troublesome.
Edit: Couldn't resist the pun. Seems that the relevant equation is a "SIGN-Gordon equation": $$\varphi_{tt}- \varphi_{xx} + \text{sgn}(\varphi) = 0.$$ Not sure if it is really simple, messy, or plain difficult to solve in your case. An option is to try solve it like a wave equation with a sign changing external force term and then parametrize the solutions based on their energy and apply the Boltzmann statistics. Forgo the Hamiltonian altogether. I think it will be messy.
Another Edit: as the commenters mentioned before, the solution to the absolute value potential Schrodinger eqn. involves Airy functions. So you could in principle use the Airy function eigenstates to find the time-independent modes and fix their energy. This could quantize your problem. The solution in terms of the Airy functions can be found for example here, [PRL, 94, 176805 (2005)].
Yet Another Update: Apparently you have the "Signum-Gordon" equation. Thanks to this answer.

Thanks for the comments and the SIGN-Gordon link. I am going to start working out the details using the Schrodinger eqn/ Airy function approach. Thinking about it now, it is very similar to what is commonly done in the mean-field theory of Gaussian polymers. What I'm looking for is the free energy of a Gaussian polymer in one dimension, in an external V-shaped potential. Yes, I'm pretty sure the V-potential is what I want, since upon integration along x it gives the area between the two interfaces. – Gregory Putzel Apr 25 '10 at 22:09

G ["","r","rs","rsr","rsrs","s","sr","srs"] [["","r"],["","s"],["r","rs"],["rs","rsr"],["rsr","rsrs"],["rsrs","srs"],["s","sr"],["sr","srs"]]

So the point to emphasize is that this graph and the one shown previously are Cayley graphs of the same group. The vertices represent the same elements (considered as permutations). However, because we have taken different sets of generators, we get different edges, and hence different graphs.

Ok, so what does the Cayley graph tell us about the group? Well, as an example, consider the Cayley graph of the Rubik cube group, as generated by the face rotations f, b, l, r, u, d (as defined <a href="_URL_ The vertices of the graph can be identified with the possible positions or states of the cube. The group element 1 corresponds to the solved cube. The edges correspond to single moves that can be made on the cube. If someone gives you a scrambled cube to solve, they are asking you to find a path from that vertex of the Cayley graph back to 1.

Given any graph, and vertices x and y, the distance from x to y is defined as the length of the shortest path from x to y. On the Rubik graph (ie, the Cayley graph of the Rubik cube), the distance from x to 1 is the minimum number of moves needed to solve position x. The HaskellForMaths library provides a distance function on graphs. Thus for example:

> let graphD8rs = cayleyGraphS (['r','s'],[("rr",""),("ss",""),("rsrsrsrs","")])
> distance graphD8rs "" "rsr"
3
The distance from 1 to an element g is of course the length of the reduced word for g.

The diameter of a graph is defined as the maximum distance between vertices. So the diameter of the Rubik graph is the maximum number of moves that are required to solve a scrambled position. It has <a href="_URL_ been shown that this number is twenty.

> diameter graphD8rs
4
The diameter of a Cayley graph is the length of the longest reduced word.

That's really all I wanted to say for the moment. Next time, we'll take some of these ideas further.http://haskellformaths.blogspot.com/2010/09/_EMAIL_ (DavidA)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195188167565410449.post-5426688105890175338Sun, 18 Jul 2010 19:56:00 +00002010-07-18T21:10:10.284+01:00Group presentations<a href="_URL_ time we looked at string rewriting systems and the Knuth-Bendix completion algorithm. The motivation for doing that was to enable us to think about groups in a more abstract way than before.

The example we looked at last time was the symmetry group of the square. We found that this group could be generated by two elements a, b, satisfying the relations:
a^4 = 1
b^2 = 1
a^3 b = b a

This way of thinking about the group is called a group presentation, and the usual notation would be:
<a,b | a^4=1, b^2=1, a^3 b = b a>

In our Haskell code, we represent this as:

( ['a','b'], [("aaaa",""),("bb",""),("aaab","ba")] )

We saw how to use the Knuth-Bendix algorithm to turn the relations into a confluent rewrite system:

> :load Math.Algebra.Group.StringRewriting
> mapM_ print $ knuthBendix [("aaaa",""),("bb",""),("aaab","ba")]
("bb","")
("bab","aaa")
("baa","aab")
("aba","b")
("aaab","ba")
("aaaa","")

The rewrite system itself isn't particularly informative. Its importance lies in what it enables us to do. Given any word in the generators, we reduce it as follows: wherever we can find the left hand side of one of rules as a subword, we replace it by the right hand side of the rule. If we keep doing this until there are no more matches, then we end up with a normal form for the element - that is, another word in the generators, which represents the same group element, and is the smallest such word relative to the shortlex ordering. Several things follow from this.

First, the ability to find the shortest word is sometimes useful in itself. If we could do this for the Rubik cube group (taking the six face rotations as generators), then we would be able to code "God's algorithm" to find the shortest solution to any given cube position.

Second, any two words that represent the same group element will reduce to the same normal form. Hence, given any two words in the generators, we can tell whether they represent the same element. This is called "solving the word problem" for the group.

Third, this enables us to list (the normal forms of) all the elements of the group - and hence, among other things, to count them.

Fourth, it enables us to do arithmetic in the group:
- To multiply two elements, represented as words w1, w2, just concatenate them to w1++w2, then reduce using the rewrite system
- The identity element of the group is of course the empty word ""
- But what about inverses?

Strings (lists) under concatenation form a monoid, not a group. So what do we do about inverses?

Well, one possibility is to include them as additional symbols. So, suppose that our generators are a,b. Then we should introduce additional symbols a-1, b-1, and consider words over the four symbols {a,b,a-1,b-1}. (For brevity, it is customary to use the symbols A, B for a<sup

I understand how weights are defined for a Lie algebra representation.
How are weight spaces defined for a Lie group action (with respect to a fixed torus)?
I know this is a very embarrassing basic question, but i've looked through Harris+Fulton with no satisfactory explanation, and the only thing I can think of is using the exponential map somehow to reduce it to a Lie algebra, which seems unefficient computationally. Surely there must be a better way.

In the case of a finite dimensional representation of a compact Lie group, one picks a basis in which the action of a maximal torus T is diagonal. The weight associated to a vector in this basis is the homomorphism
lambda: T-->T^1 : t_1^lambda_1. t_2^lambda_2.... t_n^lambda_n
by which the maximal torus acts on the vector. The weight space of the group representation is the set of weights of the representation in the charcter lattice of the maximal torus.
A clear exposition of this material can be found in Pressley and Segal : Loop groups chapter 2.
share|improve this answer
It's actually easier than in the Lie algebra case, because (a) the torus action is automatically semisimple, and (b) the lattice support of the weight diagram is self-evident. – Greg Kuperberg Dec 19 '09 at 6:39
There's also a goofy thing you can do in the Lie group case: pick a general enough element $t$ of the torus to have $\langle t\rangle$ dense in $T$. Then when you diagonalize the action of $t$, you've automatically found a weight basis for $T$. – Allen Knutson Apr 13 '11 at 13:00

Temperature dependent optical properties of lead selenide quantum dot polymer nanocompositesArticle
The optical properties of PbSe quantum dots (QDs) in AB9093 epoxy nanocomposite are examined with respect to temperature over a range of 0°C–80°C, a useful working range for many QD-based sensors and devices, and results are compared to QDs in toluene solution. A complete characterization of QD optical properties is provided as a function of temperature, including the absorption spectrum, first excitonic (1-s) absorption peak intensity and wavelength, fluorescence intensity, and peak wavelength. QD optical properties in toluene were found to be more sensitive to temperature as compared to those in AB9093. Interestingly, 1-s and fluorescence peak wavelength variation with temperature are reversed in AB9093 as compared to those in toluene solution. Results for the fluorescence properties of Lumogen F Red 305 dye in toluene are presented for comparison. The dye was found to have similar sensitivity to temperature to that of the QDs in terms of fluorescence peak wavelength shift, but the fluorescence peak intensity was far less variant. These results can be used to build a temperature sensor or as a guide to building other types of QD-based devices to be more robust against changes in ambient temperature.

New Human Brain Cell; 'Rosehip' Neuron Discovered
future science eraoflightdotcomA new type of human brain cell called the "rosehip" neuron has been discovered by scientists trying to understand what makes our brains different from other animals, according to a report published Tuesday in Nature Neuroscience.
The recently discovered neuron has only been observed in humans this far and could offer researchers insight into how our brains uniquely function, USA Today reported.
"We really don't understand what makes the human brain special," said Ed Lein, an investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science who led the study. "Studying the differences at the level of cells and circuits is a good place to start."
Which is why an international team comprising 34 scientists set out to do just that, according to Forbes magazine.
By examining brain samples of two men who had died and donated their bodies to science, the team were able to identify rosehip neurons, which have not been seen in mice and other well-studied laboratory animals.
The neurons were found in samples of the top layer of the cortex, which is the outermost region of the brain responsible for human consciousness and other functions unique to humans.
What makes the rosehip neuron unique is that it appears to be attached to only one specific part of its cellular partner, meaning that it could be controlling information flow in a specialized manner.
In a press release, Ga�bor Tama�s, a neuroscientist at the University of Szeged in Szeged, Hungary, who was involved in the study, described this by comparing inhibitory neurons to brakes on a car.
The rosehip neurons would let your car stop in very particular spots on your drive, he explained, noting that they would be like brakes that only work at the grocery store, and that not all cars (or animal brains) would have them.
"This particular cell type — or car type — can stop at places other cell types cannot stop," Tama�s said. "The car or cell types participating in the traffic of a rodent brain cannot stop in these places."
Thus far, the study has not proven that this brain cell is unique to humans, but the findings of this study suggest that they may very well exist only in humans or primate brains.

Everything You Need to Know About Fulbright Creative and Performing Arts Awards
Jun 29, 2017 • Views -
When applying for a Fulbright U.S. Student Award for Study/Research, it can be difficult to determine if your proposal is an "Academic" or "Creative and Performing Arts" project. While there are many similarities between academic and arts-related awards, there are several key differences that make it critical to understand which category your proposed project best fits. Fulbright Program staff recently recorded a webinar to help explain some commonly misunderstood aspects of the Creative and Performing Arts application process. Here are some of the top questions asked by applicants and their answers. Visit the Fulbright Webinar page to access the full recorded seminar on the 2018-19 Arts Awards.
1. How do I know if I should apply as a Creative and Performing Arts candidate?
When determining whether your project proposal is academic or artistic in nature, you should ask yourself whether or not the project hinges on your artistic abilities and background. Arts-related projects should develop your craft while interacting with a larger question. Academic projects can have artistic themes but don't necessary depend on your abilities as an artist. For example, if you propose an independent study project on murals in Mexico where you'd be analyzing pieces and writing about art theory/history, you would apply as an academic candidate. If you proposed this same project but focused on learning local techniques and incorporating new skills into your personal murals/paintings, you would apply as an arts candidate.
2. Are there any different application components needed if applying for an Arts award?
When applying for a U.S. Student Program Study/Research award, you will have the option to select either "Academic" or "Creative and Performing Arts" as your award type. Creative and Performing Arts applicants are required to submit supplementary materials related to their field such as an artistic portfolio or previous work examples. Arts awards are accepted in the same countries and regions as academic study/research awards, although some countries haven't had as many arts applicants in the past.
3. Are arts-related Fulbright applications generally successful?
There is no definitive answer regarding the overall success rate of arts applications, although Fulbright has had a growing interest in supporting arts candidates. The number of arts applicants has decreased in the last few years. Even if a country hasn't supported any arts applicants in the past, it might not be because that country isn't interested in the arts; some countries might not have previously received strong arts applications.
 4. Are there any countries or regions that specifically need more arts-related candidates?
Yes! Many regions see a surplus of academic study/research applicants or English Teaching Assistant applicants. The East Asia/Pacific region is specifically looking for more arts-related study/research applicants.
5. If I'm applying for a Study/Research award for a graduate program abroad, how do I know if I might be considered an arts candidate?
Look at the materials that the university requires in your application. If you're applying for a graduate program that requires a portfolio or audition, then you should most likely apply as a Creative and Performing Arts candidate for your Fulbright Study/Research award.
6. Is creative writing a supported art form?
Yes, absolutely. A list of supported arts-related disciplines can be found on the Fulbright website.
7. What are the biggest mistakes that applicants make when applying for an arts award?
Fulbright sees two major flaws in many arts applications. The first is proposing to replicate the same projects or work that you're doing in the United States. For example, if an artist makes small pottery in the U.S. and proposes to make the exact same type of pottery in Morocco, Fulbright will want to see a greater challenge or transformational aspect to the proposal. Conversely, the other major flaw that Fulbright sees is related to feasibility. Many applicants propose projects that are completely different from their artistic backgrounds and fail to make strong cases about how they have sufficient training and experience to complete their projects. For example, Fulbright typically wouldn't find it feasible for an artist with a background in pottery to choreograph and direct a community dance showcase if the applicant has expressed no prior experience or training in dance or the performing arts. Fulbright is looking for applicants who have the solid foundation in their field needed to complete a project, but the intent to build upon their craft in a meaningful and logical way.
8. Can I apply to a country where I have limited language skills?
Every country has different language requirements. Some require fluency or intermediate skills while some countries have no language requirements. Even if a country has no formal language requirements, it's important for you to keep the feasibility of your project in mind. If you're doing a project where you need to interview many people, for example, you might need a more advanced set of language skills.
9. If I'm applying for the second time, am I obligated to provide new portfolio materials?
It depends on how your portfolio materials relate to the current project you're proposing. If you're applying for the second time, the committee might wonder about the projects that you've been working on in the year since you last applied. Strong applications show growth and development in artistic ability.
10. If I propose a project that affiliates with a specific university in a specific city, am I still able to explore my proposed topic in other regions of the host country?
While Fulbright wants you to have a "home base" within your proposed host country, most applicants travel within the country as needed to conduct other aspects of their projects. Fulbright wouldn't want you moving around every week, but in-country travel both related to your project and for cultural exchange purposes is highly encouraged.

Whārangi 1: Biography
Homemaker, farmer, plantation owner
I tuhia tēnei haurongo e Rosemary Novitz, ā, i tāngia tuatahitia ki Ngā Tāngata Taumata Rau i te 1990.
Elizabeth McHutchison, usually known as Eliza, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, probably on 26 April 1800. She is said to have been the daughter of Jean Robertson and her husband, the merchant James McHutchison. The family name was sometimes spelt McHutcheson. Eliza grew up in one of the city's most prosperous households and on 13 January 1824 married Francis Sinclair, a ship's captain, at the Gorbals, in Glasgow.
The Sinclairs arrived at Port Nicholson (Wellington), New Zealand, on 27 December 1840 on the Blenheim with Eliza's brother John McHutchison, and their six children, George, Jane, Helen, James, Francis and Anne. After exploring the west coast of the North Island as far as Wanganui, they decided to exchange the land order they had purchased in Scotland for land in the South Island. In April 1843 they arrived at Pigeon Bay on their schooner, the Richmond, with the Scotsman Ebenezer Hay and his family. At that time there were about 50 Maori of the Ngai Tuahuriri hapu of Ngai Tahu living on the eastern side of Pigeon Bay. The Sinclairs established the farm Craigforth in a cove on the western side of the bay.
In 1846 Eliza Sinclair's husband and her eldest son, George, set off for Wellington on the schooner Jessie Millar, which they had built at the bay. The ship, loaded with produce and with all the family's savings on board, was wrecked somewhere along the coast. There were no survivors.
For Eliza Sinclair this was both a personal and a financial disaster. She leased Craigforth and went to live in Wellington, where she managed to negotiate the transfer to the Sinclair family of 370 acres of land at Pigeon Bay adjacent to the 157 acres which they had purchased from the Nanto-Bordelaise company in 1845. In 1849, after some months in Akaroa, she returned with her family to the farm, which flourished under her management.
Craigforth was largely self-sufficient. There were no servants and the Sinclairs made their own shoes and clothes. The Sinclair girls 'could manage a boat as well as their brothers, they were fearless riders…crack shots, and capable workers, so that the hardships and roughing of those early years were not too much for their buoyant spirits.'
Eliza Sinclair's wooden farmhouse, situated against a background of bush-clad hills, provided hospitality to many travellers. J. W. Stack described his arrival at her home in 1859, dirty and travel-stained, to be greeted by 'the quaintest little lady I had ever seen. She was dressed in pale blue, with a little shawl over her shoulders, and a white starched sun bonnet on her head, beneath which her kindly grey eyes shone out a warm welcome.'
One of the captains of the whaling ships that regularly visited Pigeon Bay, Thomas Gay, married Jane Sinclair in 1848 and they built a house at the bay. Helen Sinclair married Charles Barrington Robinson, the former magistrate at Akaroa and the owner of extensive land holdings in Canterbury who, it was rumoured, beat and kicked her. One night she arrived on foot at Pigeon Bay from Akaroa carrying her son, Aubrey. After a long conversation with her daughter Eliza Sinclair declared to the rest of the family that Helen and Aubrey would remain at Craigforth.
In 1863 the Sinclairs decided to sell the Pigeon Bay farm and settle in Canada. Some accounts attribute this decision solely to Eliza, but others suggest that it was Helen and her younger brother, Francis, who wished to leave Pigeon Bay. However, it was Eliza who sold the farm to the George Holmes family, and supervised the refitting of the 300 ton barque Bessie which Captain Thomas Gay had acquired on her behalf.
They sailed for Canada via Tahiti. Vancouver Island was beautiful but heavily wooded, and they were daunted by the work required to clear the land. California was considered as an alternative place to settle, but they were persuaded to try Hawaii. They travelled to Honolulu via Los Angeles, arriving there in September 1863.
King Kamehameha IV of Hawaii sold Niihau Island to Eliza for US$10,000. Later she purchased land at Makaweli and Hanapepe, on the island of Kauai, and cultivated sugar cane. In the early 1870s she built a new home in Makaweli, where she is said to have died on 16 October 1892.

An ideas bank is a website where people post, exchange, discuss, and polish new ideas. Some of these are for the purpose of developing new inventions or technologies. Many corporations are also installing internal ideas banks to gather the input from their employees. Some of those systems also use a voting system to estimate ideas value. In some cases, ideas banks can be more humor-oriented than their more serious counterparts. The underlying theory of an ideas bank is that if a large group of people collaborate on a project or the development of an idea that eventually said project or idea will reach perfection in the eyes of those who worked on it.

An Empirical Investigation into the Relationship Between Computer Self-Efficacy, Anxiety, Experience, Support and UsageJournal of Computer Information Systems
AbstractOrganizations make significant investments in information technology. However, if individuals do not use information system applications as anticipated, successful implementation can be hard to achieve. In order to investigate some key factors thought to affect an individual's use of information technology, this study draws on Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), Triandis's Theory of Interpersonal Behavior (TIB), and the computer anxiety literature to develop its conceptual model and research hypotheses. An empirical investigation (n=978) found support for the majority of the hypotheses. As suggested by SCT, experience and support were positively related to computer self-efficacy, and computer self-efficacy was negatively related to anxiety and positively related to usage. As suggested by TIB, experience was positively related to usage. Furthermore, computer anxiety was negatively related to experience. By providing insight into these important relationships, this research can help further understanding of their role in the acceptance and use of information technology.

The Maldives has set itself a tough target to be the world's first UNESCO Biosphere reserve nation and it aims to win the accolade by 2017. The Indian Ocean nation has put together an implementation plan to run between 2013 and 2017 that will see more than half of the nations island atolls implementing the 'Biosphere Approach' management plan.
Once over half the islands come nder the new plan it will trigger the ability for the nation to apply to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to have the entire country and its Exclusive Economic Zone classed as a Biosphere Reserve.
The whole country of Maldives will be a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve by 2017 – where public support for conservation of the country's remarkable environment secures a vibrant green economy and a good quality of life for all Maldivians.
"The whole country of Maldives will be a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve by 2017 – where public support for conservation of the country's remarkable environment secures a vibrant green economy and a good quality of life for all Maldivians," said Dr Mariyam Shakeela, Minister of Environment and Energy, Republic of Maldives.
The implementation plan, Maldives as a Biosphere Reserve: An Implementation Plan 2013-2017, sets a road-map for 2013 to 2017, after which the plan will be updated based on progress and lessons learned.
The plan will be implemented by and for different atolls in a stepwise fashion, based on their readiness to adopt the "Biosphere Approach". The plan was endorsed by the cabinet of Ministers in January 2013, showing the commitment from all stakeholders to this plan.
The President of the Maldives signalled intentions in June 2012, at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, RIO+20 meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to significantly ramp up efforts to protect the marine environment. The president outlined plans to implement a de-centralised system for environmental management and sustainable development, and was inspired by the success achieved in designating Baa Atoll as the first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Maldives.
Become a 'nation biosphere reserve' will also lead to the Maldives becoming a champion of the Aichi Targets. These targets form the basis of an internationally agreed strategy to address the loss of global biodiversity. There are 20 targets that signatory nations have agreed to meet by the year 2020,
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Executive Secretary Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias said:
"This pledge from the Maldives is extraordinary in size and potential impact. We should expect that it will be an inspiration to other CBD Parties, including Small Island Developing States and donor countries, to work harder toward the achievement of all of the Aichi Targets."
"Global progress in the development of marine protected areas and in the sustainable management of fish stocks is lagging considerably," he added. "Although there are still more than seven years before the 2011-2020 Strategic Plan for Biodiversity and its 20 Aichi Targets are to be fully implemented, as agreed in Nagoya at CBD COP 10, we will only reach these targets by making ambitious pledges as the Maldives has now done."

You're missing the point of the analogy.
You said: "Manchus are Chinese. Manchu's soil, of course equal to Chinese soil."
Why can't I say: "Mongols are Chinese. Mongol's soil, of course equal to Chinese soil."
Do you get the logic?
If you can say that all Manchu territory before their formal transformation into a "Chinese" entity is Chinese territory, then one could say that for all of the ethnic minorities in China.
The list could go on and on.
I could very well say: "Russians are Chinese. Russian's soil, of course equal to Chinese soil."
This presents quite an enigma. Russians and Mongols are both official ethnic minorities of China. They are therefore Chinese.
Is it logical to take that one step further and to claim that the histories of these ethnic groups, before becoming Chinese (In the case of Russians never) as a part of Chinese history?
If so, we have a few interesting historical instances.
The Russians were conquered by the Mongols, but later were able to kick the Mongols out of their land, thus gaining independence.
But since Russians and Mongols are both Chinese...The Chinese were conquered by the Chinese, but later on the Chinese kicked the Chinese out of their land, thus gaining independence.
Am I making sense?
Sorry, I made a mistake to say Manchus are Chinese so Manchus soil are Chinese soil. Below is my correction:
The Manchus recieved the mandate of heaven to rule China, so any Manchu's territories are Chinese territories. As for the entire Mongol Empire, only the Emperor of Yuan Dynasty had the mandate of heaven, so Chinese territories are limited to Yuan Dynasty.

SUMMARY: Critical issues in emergency management after a seismic event are assessing the functionality of the main infrastructures (hospitals, road network, etc.) and deciding on their usability just after the mainshock. The use of a pure analytical tool to assess the aftershock risk of a structure can be contrasted with the limited time available to make a decision about the usability of a structure. For this reason, this paper presents a method for evaluating post-earthquake bridge practicability based on a rational combination of information derived from numerical analyses and in situ inspections. In particular, we propose an effective tool to speed up the decision-making process involved in evaluating the seismic risk of mainshock-damaged bridges in the context of aftershocks. The risk is calculated by combining the aftershock hazard using the Omori law and the fragility curves of the structure, which are calculated using the regression analysis of a sample of results obtained with data randomly generated by the Latin Hypercube Sampling technique and updated based on the results of in situ inspection. Different decision criteria regarding the practicability of bridges are discussed, and a new criterion is proposed. This tool was applied to an old highway RC viaduct. There are two main findings, including the high sensitivity to Bayesian updating (especially when the damage predicted by numerical analysis does not match the real damage) and the criteria used to decide when re-open bridges to traffic. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Hardness and Conductivity of Die Forged ZYK530 Magnesium Alloy
Keywords:heat treatment, die forged ZYK530 Mg alloy, hardness, conductivity
The relationship among the microstructure, hardness and electrical conductivity of the as-forged ZYK530 Mg alloy after heat treatment was analyzed and studied using a microscope, X-Ray Diffractometer, eddy current conductivity meter, and Vickers microhardness tester, to explore optimum heat treatment process of ZYK530 Mg alloy. The results show that: with the prolongation of holding time, the electrical conductivity and microhardness show the same change trend, both of which show an oscillatory upward trend, and then decrease in an oscillatory downward trend after reaching the peak value. There is a linear positive correlation between the conductivity and the hardness, and the fitting results of the conductivity and hardness are in good agreement with the measured results; combined with the actual production, when the heat-treatment is 480 ℃ × 8 h + 220 ℃ × 3 h, the highest hardness is 79.2 HV, the electroconductivity is 36.2%IACS, and the comprehensive performance is the best, which is the best heat treatment process.

Comparison of in vitro jejunal uptake of L-valine and L-lysine in the rat during maturation.J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 1985 Dec; 4(6):992-7.JP
The maturational characteristics and patterns of absorption of the neutral amino acid L-valine were compared with those of the basic amino acid L-lysine using in vitro preparations of everted sacs obtained from the jejunum of suckling (2 weeks old), weanling (3 weeks old), and adolescent (6 weeks old) rats. Absorption rates determined as net transport into sac fluid and mucosal uptake (mumol/h/g protein or weight of mucosal scrapings) for both valine and lysine were greater in the suckling than in the weanling or adolescent rats. This appeared to be true for both the carrier-mediated and the diffusive processes for absorption, determined from the relationship between the observed absorption rates and the corresponding mucosal incubation medium amino acid concentrations. The major decline in rate of absorption occurred before the period of weaning. Between the period of suckling and adolescence the carrier-mediated absorption decreased by 55% for valine and by 90% for lysine, suggesting that during maturation of the jejunum the number of the carrier macromolecules responsible for absorption of valine and lysine per unit protein or weight of mucosa decreases with increasing age.


Index: The Book of Statistical ProofsGeneral Theorems ▷ Probability theory ▷ Probability mass function ▷ Probability mass function of sum of independents
Theorem: Let $X$ and $Y$ be two independent discrete random variables with possible values $\mathcal{X}$ and $\mathcal{Y}$ and let $Z = X + Y$. Then, the probability mass function of $Z$ is given by
\[\label{eq:pmf-sumind} \begin{split} f_Z(z) &= \sum_{y \in \mathcal{Y}} f_X(z-y) f_Y(y) \\ \text{or} \quad f_Z(z) &= \sum_{x \in \mathcal{X}} f_Y(z-x) f_X(x) \end{split}\]
where $f_X(x)$, $f_Y(y)$ and $f_Z(z)$ are the probability mass functions of $X$, $Y$ and $Z$.
Proof: Using the definition of the probability mass function and the expected value, the first equation can be derived as follows:
\[\label{eq:pmf-sumind-s1} \begin{split} f_Z(z) &= \mathrm{Pr}(Z = z) \\ &= \mathrm{Pr}(X + Y = z) \\ &= \mathrm{Pr}(X = z - Y) \\ &= \mathrm{E} \left[ \mathrm{Pr}(X = z - Y \vert Y = y) \right] \; . \end{split}\]
By construction, $X$ and $Y$ are independent, such that conditional probabilities are equal to marginal probabilities, i.e. $\mathrm{Pr}(X = z - Y \vert Y = y) = \mathrm{Pr}(X = z - Y)$ and we have:
\[\label{eq:pmf-sumind-s2} \begin{split} f_Z(z) &= \mathrm{E} \left[ \mathrm{Pr}(X = z - Y) \right] \\ &= \mathrm{E} \left[ f_X(z-Y) \right] \\ &= \sum_{y \in \mathcal{Y}} f_X(z-y) f_Y(y) \; . \end{split}\]
The second equation can be derived by switching $X$ and $Y$.

Disney photographer Gene Duncan stopped by Discovery Island at Disney's Animal Kingdom a few days ago during one of the training sessions for our Asian small-clawed otters that we do in front of our guests. The result: some incredibly cute photos that we wanted to share with you.
As regular Disney Parks Blog readers know, our animal keepers spend a lot of time training our animals—and it's lots of fun, but it has a serious side too. We do the training so we can take great care of our animals. For example, by teaching the otters to stand on their hind legs, our keepers can get a good view of the body as part of daily visual checks to see whether the animals appear healthy in between regular veterinary exams. In addition, training can help ensure that each animal gets the right amount of food, as offering food is one of the positive conditioning techniques the team uses to train the animals to voluntarily participate in their own care. Training also is used as enrichment to encourage the animals to exhibit their natural behaviors, which is mentally and physically healthy for them, but it enables guests to see the cool adaptations that help the animals survive as well.
The next time you visit Disney's Animal Kingdom, be sure to spend some time in Discovery Island with the animals that make their home there. In addition to the otters, you may come upon our animal keepers training animals as varied as lemurs, vultures and cotton-top tamarins. And be on the lookout for our education cast members, who share conservation and animal behavior messages about many of the animals—for example, did you know a flamingo eats with its head upside down?
More about Asian small-clawed otters:
- Asian small-clawed otters are the least aquatic of the otters. They spend most of their time on land, where they find resting spots such as reed nests, rock caves or burrows.
- The otters usually swim by paddling with all four limbs. Only the flat top of the head, nose, ears, eyes and rear part of the body is out of the water. When diving, however, the otter does not use the limbs, but uses powerful lateral wriggling motions and the tail to move through the water—similar to how a fish would swim.
- Asian small-clawed otters are vulnerable due to habitat loss. Many wetlands are in decline because of a lack of water. There are many ways that all of us can help by reducing our water usage at home: plant native plants, don't water the lawn unless needed, and don't let the water run while brushing your teeth.

Temporal shifts in the pair-bond dynamics of New Zealand robins (Petroica australis)
Citation
Menzies, I. J., & Burns, K. (2010). Temporal shifts in the pair-bond dynamics of New Zealand robins (Petroica australis). New Zealand Journal of Ecology, 265–268.
Summary
Winter is a challenging time for temperate insectivorous songbirds, due to colder temperatures, reduced prey activity and shorter diurnal foraging times. For species that are non-migratory, territorial and monogamous, winter conditions may result in within-pair competition. However, little is known about how monogamous pairs coexist on their winter territories.
We investigated temporal patterns in male–female interactions of the New Zealand robin (Petroica australis) to better understand mechanisms of coexistence during winter. Previous work has shown that male robins are physically dominant over females and maintain priority access to food year-round. We quantified female behaviour throughout the 2008 non-breeding season to better understand how females coexist with physically dominant males on winter territories. Results showed that pairs rarely forage in close proximity in autumn and winter, suggesting females avoid males at this time of year. Males and females begin to spend more time foraging together as winter turns to spring. During this winter–spring transitional period, females steal large amounts of food hoarded by males. These results indicate that male and female New Zealand robins use different behavioural mechanisms to coexist on their winter territories. While males are dominant physically, females show a seasonally variable strategy where they avoid males in autumn and winter, and then steal male-made caches from early spring until the onset of inter-pair cooperation and the breeding season.


text: Heart development requires precise coordination of morphogenetic movements with cell fate specification and differentiation. Beh and colleagues have been investigating how this is achieved in ascidian embryos and now report that the forkhead transcription factor FoxF is essential for FGF-induced migration of heart precursor cells in Ciona intestinalis (see p. 3297). In ascidian embryos, FGF signalling, transduced via the MAPK pathway, activates the transcription factor Ets1/2, which is needed for heart tissue specification and cell migration. Beh et al. show that FoxF is rapidly activated in heart precursors in response to FGF signalling, identify the FoxF minimal heart enhancer, and show that Ets1/2 interacts with this in vivo. Expression of a dominant-negative form of FoxF in heart precursor cells, they report, inhibits their migration but not differentiation and results in the formation of an ectopic beating heart in the tail of juveniles. Overall, these results indicate that FoxF is a direct target of FGF signalling and that it mainly regulates heart cell migration.

What's a Picaresque? The Top 5 Novels By William Giraldi Jul 20, 2012 Busy Monsters newly released in paperback is about a jilted fiance who embarks on a hilarious, ill-advised odyssey to win. This style of novel originated in Spain in 1554 and flourished throughout Europe for more than 200 years, though the term "picaresque novel" was only coined in 1810. It continues to influence modern literature. The term is also sometimes used to describe works, like Cervantes' Don Quixote and Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers, which only contain some of the genre's elements. Charles Dickens, who was influenced by Fielding, wrote his first six novels in the picaresque form, with Martin Chuzzlewit 1844 being the transitional novel to his later more serious and mature works. Other novels with elements of the picaresque include the Canadian Solomon Gursky Was Here and the English The Luck of Barry Lyndon 1844. A solid definition of the picaresque novel is rather hard to come by. The term "picaro," taken from a 17th century Spanish word, typically describes a low-born hero or rogue who uses his wits to wander through various branches of society without truly belonging to any of.

Alcohol in skin care products
Ethanol based products dehydrate the skin. Therfore skin care products containing panthenol should be used, which increase the moisture content of skin.
The German nursing standard for the prevention of decubitus ulcers specifies that no alcohol-based cleansing products should be used because alcohol dehydrates the skin. This particularly applies to elderly skin because it is already thinner and dryer and tends to become flaky. More than half of people older than 60 complain of chronic skin itching problems. Therefore, we recommend:
Use sensitive skin care products
Many cleansing products contain panthenol, also called dexpanthenol. In the body panthenol is converted into pantothenic acid. This "queen of skin vitamins" helps bind water in the skin and increase moisture content. However, chemically speaking, it is alcohol. But alcohol is also known as ethanol and accordingly defined in the German nursing standard. D-Panthenol can therefore be used without any problems. Cetyl alcohol is also not really an "alcohol". Used in care products, it makes the skin soft and supple.
Sensitive skin cleansers contain moisturizing ingredients
When choosing cleansing products, those which cleanse the skin gently and thoroughly and also increase the moisture content of the skin (e.g. Menalind® professional) should be considered.
To sum up: modern cosmetic products tailored to the needs of elderly skin provide gentle cleansing and optimal care!
