Comprehensive Device Assessment in the Lab is Increasingly Needed for Mobile Network Operators to Meet User Expectations
As consumers worldwide have high expectations from their smartphones and tablets, mobile network operators need to enhance their product offering and minimise the possibility of launching poor quality devices. In a new whitepaper entitled "Even Better than the Real Thing", Anite, the global leader in device testing, argues that operators can gain competitive advantages by considering device testing and acceptance schemes based on solutions that simulate the device-network interoperability in the lab.
Dr Konstantinos Stavropoulos, IOT Product Manager, Anite and author of Even Better than the Real Thing comments: "With mobile devices becoming more complex and with the media spotlight on the industry, testing has gained in significance. Lab testing is the proactive approach to assess devices in a controllable and repeatable way, which is also immune to statistical uncertainty. Leading operators have gone beyond standard device conformance certification and opted for proprietary network simulation tests to check if a device will perform well in networks when launched. Such tests can help operators pre-empt situations that are likely to reoccur in the future, such as wrongly interpreting device issues as network problems. These tests can also identify problems associated with smartphone-induced signalling overload."
Network simulator solutions provide the flexibility to consider a variety of test scenarios with full control. These scenarios include roaming without the expense of country or region-specific drive testing. They also include 'What if' tests, which are difficult to run in live networks without affecting mobile users. With network simulators, test automation can be used and any captured or defined scenario can be 'replayed' in the lab at any time to identify with confidence why the device performance may have changed.
The White Paper emphasises the substantial commercial benefits of network simulation for operators. Due to automation and controllability, the OPEX and Total Cost of Ownership for testing devices in the lab are lower than with other approaches. Network simulation helps establish objective and well-functioning acceptance schemes for operators to gain the competitive advantage through a number of factors. These include increased test efficiency, better device quality, reduced costs due to user-identified issues and faster time-to-market.
Dr Stavropoulos adds, "Network simulation has been pivotal to the success of operator-driven device acceptance programmes. Compared with other approaches, it is a faster, more cost-effective and ultimately superior way to test mobile devices, which is why it is now also used to accelerate the introduction of LTE devices. Some people do not regard network simulation as the 'real thing'. However, there are substantial benefits, described in this white paper, that make device testing in the lab 'even better than the real thing'."

Procedures for Administering the SIR II™ Survey
Refer to the materials listed below as you prepare to administer the SIR II™ Student Instructional Report survey.
The SIR II online and e-SIR surveys are administered via the Internet, through collaboration with ETS.
SIR II paper-and-pencil surveys are administered by faculty during class time. ETS will mail survey questionnaires to your institution. Within 15 business days after receiving your completed questionnaires, ETS will mail your survey reports.
To process completed surveys, complete the SIR II Processing Request Form and fax it to ETS. Please also return a copy of the form with your completed surveys.
Guidelines for Survey Administration
The following guidelines are recommended for administering the SIR II Student Instructional Report and based on research studies of SIR and SIR II survey administrations since 1972.
- Students should be instructed to respond fairly and to work independently.
- They should also be assured that their responses are anonymous.
Timing of Administering the Survey
- Evaluations should be made during the last week or two of classes.
- Faculty can increase participation rates if students are required to complete the survey before receiving their final grades.
- Results should not be given back to instructors until they have graded students in the course.
- Instructors and others who may have administered the forms should refrain from reading the forms until course grades have been assigned.
Tips for Paper-and-Pencil Administration
- Many institutions have a student helper or another staff member distribute, collect and package the surveys in a sealed envelope.
- The instructor should be absent during the administration, which takes about 15 minutes of class time.
- Mailing the forms to students usually results in a poor response rate.
Serving Students with Disabilities
The SIR II survey should be administered following the same accommodation procedures you normally use when testing students with disabilities. Appropriate arrangements are needed to ensure the confidentiality of each student's responses and to promote all students' participation in evaluating instructor performance.
For example, students with vision disabilities may wish to respond to the SIR II survey on their own computers with a text file of the survey instrument that can be presented in audio format using screen reader software such as JAWS® or Window-Eyes. You might also recruit an unbiased individual to read the questions aloud and mark down the student's responses.
For more information about the SIR II survey, contact an ETS Advisor.

How to fix DHCP error 0x79
Are you facing "DHCP error 0x79"? This guide will help you.
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a network management protocol mainly used to automate the process of configuring devices on IP networks, thereby enabling them to use network services such as DNS, NTP, and any communication protocol based on UDP or TCP.
Here at Ibmi Media, we regularly help our Customers to fix DHCP related errors as part of our Server Support Services.
In this context, we shall look into the main causes of this error and how to fix it.
What triggers DHCP error 0x79?
This error can occurs due the following reasons;
i. When you have a predefined IP address on the computer and it has assigned the IP address to a different device.
ii. When the IP address is beyond the scope of the DHCP range.
When the error occurs, you will see an error message such as;
Your computer was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP server) for the Network Card with network address xxxxxxxx. The following error occurred: 0x79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.
How to get rid of DHCP error 0x79?
To solve this issue, follow the steps below;
1. Start by checking the DHCP range on the router. Also verify that the computer is ready to obtain an address automatically.
2. Then try to disable the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) on the network adapter. To do this follow the steps below;
i. Begin by right-clicking on the Network icon in the system Tray. Then click on "Network and Sharing Center".
ii. Now click on Change Adapter Settings.
iii. Next, right-click on Network Adapter and choose "Properties" where you should uncheck "Internet Protocol Version 6".

 Highlights: • Quantifying turbulent jet diffusion flame length with cross flows. • Unique data revealed for a sub-atmospheric pressure. • Non-dimensional global correlation proposed for flame trajectory-line length. - Abstract: This paper investigates the evolution characteristics of turbulent jet diffusion flame (flame trajectory-line length, flame height in vertical jet direction) with increasing cross flows in a sub-pressure (64 kPa) atmosphere. The combined effect of cross flow and a special sub-pressure atmosphere condition is revealed, where no data is available in the literatures. Experiments are carried out with a wind tunnel built specially in Lhasa city (altitude: 3650 m; pressure: 64 kPa) and in Hefei city (altitude: 50 m; pressure: 100 kPa), using nozzles with diameter of 3 mm, 4 mm and 5 mm and propane as fuel. It is found that, as cross flow air speed increases from zero, the flame trajectory-line length firstly decreases and then becomes almost stable (for relative small nozzle, 3 mm in this study) or increases (for relative large nozzle, 4 mm and 5 mm in this study) beyond a transitional critical cross flow air speed in normal pressure, however decreases monotonically until being blown-out in the sub-pressure atmosphere. The flame height in jet direction decreases monotonically with cross air flow speed and then reaches a steady value in both pressures. For the transitional state of flame trajectory-line length with increasing cross air flow speed, the corresponding critical cross flow air speed is found to be proportional to the fuel jet velocity, meanwhile independent of nozzle diameter. Correlation models are proposed for the flame height in jet direction and the flame trajectory-line length for both ambient pressures, which are shown to be in good agreement with the experimental results.

 The influence of Soret diffusion on lean premixed flames propagating in hydrogen/air mixtures is numerically investigated with a detailed chemical and transport models at normal and elevated pressure and temperature. The Soret diffusion influence on the one-dimensional (1D) flame mass burning rate and two-dimensional (2D) flame propagating characteristics is analysed, revealing a strong dependency on flame stretch rate, pressure and temperature. For 1D flames, at normal pressure and temperature, with an increase of Karlovitz number from 0 to 0.4, the mass burning rate is first reduced and then enhanced by Soret diffusion of H2 while it is reduced by Soret diffusion of H. The influence of Soret diffusion of H2 is enhanced by pressure and reduced by temperature. On the contrary, the influence of Soret diffusion of H is reduced by pressure and enhanced by temperature. For 2D flames, at normal pressure and temperature, during the early phase of flame evolution, flames with Soret diffusion display more curved flame cells. Pressure enhances this effect, while temperature reduces it. The influence of Soret diffusion of H2 on the global consumption speed is enhanced at elevated pressure. The influence of Soret diffusion of H on the global consumption speed is enhanced at elevated temperature. The flame evolution is more affected by Soret diffusion in the early phase of propagation than in the long run due to the local enrichment of H2 caused by flame curvature effects. The present study provides new insights into the Soret diffusion effect on the characteristics of lean hydrogen/air flames at conditions that are relevant to practical applications, e.g. gas engines and turbines.

 Soot particles are produced during the high temperature pyrolysis or combustion of hydrocarbons. The emission of soot from a combustor, or from a flame, is determined by the competition between soot formation and its oxidation. Several factors affect these processes, including the type of fuel, the air-to-fuel ratio, flame temperature, pressure, and flow pattern.

ABS's Guidelines for Verbal Description
Elisabeth Salzhauer Axel, Virginia Hooper, Teresa Kardoulias, Sarah Stephenson Keyes, and Francesca Rosenberg
Verbal description is a way of using words to represent the visual world. This kind of description enables persons who are blind or visually impaired to form a mental image of what they cannot see. Verbal description has been used to make visual information accessible in film, television, and, more recently, in museums. In museums, verbal description may be used before, after, or during a standard gallery tour. Having a lecturer who can respond to particular questions and engage museum visitors in thought-provoking conversation is one way of providing descriptions of works of art. Additionally, descriptions may be provided in the form of an audioguide, enabling museums to develop an archive of narratives for specific works of art. In the best scenario, these two resources are used in a complementary manner.
The following guidelines comprise a basic methodology that museum educators and art teachers can use to create successful verbal descriptions of painting, sculpture, and architecture, as well as works in other media. Accompanying this section are passages excerpted from Art History Through Touch and Sound: A Multisensory Guide for the Blind and Visually Impaired, a twenty-one-volume audio-book series developed by Art Beyond Sight, Inc. These excerpted passages suggest a few of the ways an educator can create successful verbal descriptions of visual art.
1. Standard Information
Verbal description starts with the standard information found on a museum's object label: artist, nationality, title, date, mediums, dimensions, and the custodian or location of the work. While not necessarily descriptive, this basic information provides blind and visually impaired individuals with the same information available to sighted viewers. Additionally, object-label information places the work in an historical context and establishes a foundation for much of the information that follows. The example below is a straightforward way of imparting the information.
 - This sculpture is from ancient Egypt, and the artist is unknown. The work has been given the title Scribe Statue of General Horemhab. The sculpture was made during Dynasty 18, around 1333 to 1323 B.C.E. The medium is granite. The work measures 46 inches high, or 117 centimeters. The sculpture is in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York.
 -Art Beyond Sight (ABS) and Marsha Hill, The Art of Ancient Egypt
If the size of a work is important, draw the viewer's attention to this feature and provide a familiar analogy. Relative size is particularly useful because everyone can identify with the size of a familiar object. For instance, Jackson Pollock's painting One, which measures 8 ft. 10 in. x 17 ft. 5 in., can be compared to the size of six single mattresses placed side by side.
2. General Overview: Subject, Form, and Color
The basic object-label information is followed by a general overview of the subject matter and composition of the work. Generally, a coherent description should provide visual information in a sequence, allowing a blind person to assemble, piece by piece, an image of a highly complex work of art. First describe the explicit subject, that is, what is represented in the work. For example, "This painting features a recycled Savarin coffee can filled with about eighteen paintbrushes." Next describe the composition and give an overall impression of the work. Include in this description the color tones and the mood or atmosphere. Many people who have lost their sight have a visual memory of colors. In the passage below, a general description of Masaccio's fresco The Expulsion from Eden (c. 1425) introduces the basic scene.
 - We see two nudes, a man and a woman, in obvious emotional distress, walking from the center of the painting to the right across a bleak brown landscape free of any vegetation. Above them, we see an angel wearing bright-red robes, carrying a sword, hurrying them on their way. They are leaving Paradise, as the title suggests. Within the barely suggested gate on the left, we see rays of light, which represent the presence of the Lord. These light rays resemble straight lines that are pulled together at one end, as they would be in a broom. The man and the woman are being banished from Paradise. The warm peach flesh tones of their bodies contrast with the blue sky.
 -ABS and Fredericka Foster Shapiro, Fifteenth-Century Italian Art
3. Orient the Viewer with Directions
Specific and concrete information is required to indicate the location of objects or figures in a work of art. A useful directional method is to refer to the positions of the numbers on a clock. Most blind people are familiar with this method of providing direction. For example, in referring to a person's face, you would describe the mouth as being at six o'clock. Also, when describing a figure depicted in a work of art, remember that the image is the equivalent of a mirror image. Right and left can be very ambiguous terms unless they are qualified. Accordingly, you should describe the figure according to its right or left, and always qualify this description. Refer to the viewer's orientation to right and left, as well. For example, "The woman's right hand, which is on your left, holds a small goblet."
4. Describe the Importance of the Technique or Medium
Sometimes, there is an important relationship between the implicit content and the technique or medium employed to make the work. Detailed information on these topics enables a blind viewer to understand the ways in which meaning, style, or both are generated from the materials. Technique and medium are functions of each other, and, typically, discussion of one must include the other. Because this kind of information can be very technical, you may want to ask blind viewers how interested they are in this subject. The first passage below describes the impact of the oil-painting technique on the art of the northern Renaissance. The second passage, in a discussion of King Khafra and Horus (2550 B.C.E.), conveys relevant information on the stone.
 - In the fifteenth century, artists such as Robert Campin and Jan van Eyck realized the advantages of the oil-painting medium. With oil paint, colored pigment is suspended in a viscous oil medium that is slow to dry. Because the oil paint is slow to dry, it is easily manipulated by the brush on a wood panel or canvas surface. This flexibility enables the artist to blend colors easily. And by the subtle blending of colors, the painter is able to model forms, and suggest light and shadow. The illusion of light and shadow makes the forms appear more three-dimensional. As a result of this technique, fifteenth-century artists rendered the natural volumes of a cheek or an arm in a more convincing manner than their predecessors.
 -ABS and Toby Falk, The Renaissance Outside of Italy
 - In this statue, the pharaoh is seated on a throne. The statue is carved in an extremely hard, dense stone called gneiss. The Egyptians sought out this stone in quarries along the desert valleys, where they also collected many other unusual and beautiful stones. To the touch, the stone feels extremely smooth and cool. It is blackish-gray, with streaks and strands of white. And so the surface does not really look like flesh. After it is carved, the surface is given a polish so that it reflects a soft light. The soft gleam and the unusual coloration give this statue a restrained, but palpable, sense of light.
 -ABS and Marsha Hill, The Art of Ancient Egypt
5. Focus on the Style
When we talk about the style of a work of art, we are referring to the features that identify a work as being by a particular artist or school, or of a movement, period, or geographical region. Style is the cumulative result of many characteristics, including brushwork, use of tone and color, choice of different motifs, and the treatment of the subject. After the basic information about subject, composition, and mediums have been conveyed, the verbal description can focus on how these many elements contribute to the whole. In a tour that includes several works of art, comparisons are an effective way of making stylistic features tangible. In the following passage, the style of a Roman sculpture, Augustus of Primaporta (c. 20 B.C.E.), is compared to that of an earlier Greek work, Polykleitos' Spear Bearer (c. 450-440 B.C.E.).
 - The head of Augustus combines an idealizing tendency in the style of Greek prototypes with realistic features of the emperor. The arrangement of Augustus' hair reflects the influence of Polykleitos' Spear Bearer. For, like the hair of the Spear Bearer, Augustus' hair is short and curly. The curls on both statues do not stand up from the head. They lie flat like a close-fitting cap. Augustus' hair differs from that of the Spear Bearer in that the hair is slightly longer, and it is combed both forward and backward, rather than simply being combed forward. The overall effect of the arrangement of Augustus' hair is orderly but at the same time dynamic. The orderliness of the hair seems to indicate that it has been intentionally idealized in the Primaporta portrait and in other portraits of Augustus, which all exhibit the same hair treatment.
 -ABS and Frances Van Keuren, Etruscan and Roman Art
6. Use Specific Words
Clear and precise language is crucial to any good description. In describing visual art to a blind audience, you must be careful to avoid ambiguous and figurative language. The

During the excavation process, one of the common artifacts found on historic sites is glass. So what does this tell us archaeologically other than there was glass here? We classify glass in two major categories Flat and Curved. Flat glass usually pertains to window glass, while curved or hollow usually pertains to you guessed it, bottles. Once we collect all the artifacts in field they are brought back to the lab where they are cleaned then cataloged. From this we can get an accurate amount of each type of glass that was found. Because, of the detailed records we keep of the location of our testing units both the vertical and horizontal location is known. With this information we can draw meaning interpretations from even the most ubiquitous artifacts. Seen below is an imagined example of a historic foundation and the results of the statistical mapping that we could produce once we have gathered the information of the type and frequency of glass once catalogued.
Blue indicates the location where flat glass was found while green indicated where the curved hollow glass was found. What conclusions would you draw from this information? First note the brick structure. Think about structures and where flat glass would most likely be found and why. Also, think about areas of activity inside such a structure. Where would a person store & use hollow glass such as bottles. To see how we might interpret the location of the artifacts, see the image below.

Commission participates to international In Silico Toxicology Protocol initiative
The European Commission's Joint Research Center (JRC) Directorate published on 22 November an article highlighting that JRC scientists are part of the international In Silico Toxicology (IST) Protocol initiative developing principles and protocols for the consistent use of computational models in chemical safety assessment to promote greater acceptance in regulatory applications.
The IST Protocol initiative focuses on how results from computational methods should be generated, interpreted, assessed and documented with a view to increasing confidence in their use. Work is in progress to apply the framework to specific toxicological parameters, such as genotoxicity, skin sensitization and systemic toxicity in acute and repeated doses.
It is interesting to note that the by presenting the IST protocol initiative, the JRC states that ''the regulatory acceptance of in silico approaches is still limited and one reason for this is the absence of harmonised protocols on how to properly apply methods and interpret results". It appears that the Commission has begun to consider the problems resulting from the absence of a regulatory framework for in silico medicine. More importantly, by being part of this initiative, the Commission' scientists are promoting the confidence and regulatory application of in silico methods.
The first publication of the consortium, published earlier this year, describes the general framework of the IST Protocols and how they could guide the international of computational predictions with experimental data to support the assessment of a chemical for adverse health effects, for instance in the context of drug development.
The IST Protocols include consideration of the reliability and relevance assessment of computational methods using a novel scoring scheme and the conduct and documentation of expert review using practical checklists. The IST expects that the use of the framework and associated protocols will increase the acceptance and uptake of in silico methodologies.

Development Of the Digital Acoustic Noise Cancellation System
My research will focus on the development of a digital acoustic noise cancellation system. The system will be capable of taking recorded data, that has some amount of noise due to acoustic interference on it, and removing said noise from the data without affecting the data in any other way. This type of system is widely applicable to work done in many different STEM fields, but has particular importance in the field of physics. Many research projects in the field use some form of measurement of energy deposited into a system as a way of data taking. However, those results can be affected by unwanted deposition of energy by sound waves striking the measurement apparatus. As a result, the data taken may have false signals present due to these acoustics. Thus, the aim of my project is to find a simple and effective way to remove this noise from the data after measurement.

The Chocolate War
Do you ever say one thing, even though you're feeling something entirely different? Have you ever wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words. Have you ever gotten totally caught up in what a really good speaker was saying and found yourself doing what they want, even though you think it's wrong? If so, you'll probably relate to what's going on in The Chocolate War. This book takes a hard look at how language can be used to manipulate. We also see how one student standing up and saying "No" can threaten a whole corrupt system.
Questions About Language and Communication
- What kinds of messages does Brother Leon communicate with his pointer? His words? His eyes? His physical appearance?
- Are Archie's verbal skills a key factor in his power over others? Why, or why not?
- What are some of the things Jerry communicates when he refuses the chocolates? Does it mean different things to different people? Like what?
- Is Jerry a good communicator?
- Can you think of some examples of characters who think one thing but say something entirely different? Why do they do this?
- Why aren't Jerry and Ellen Barrett able to communicate when he calls her? Would they do better face to face?
- Do Jerry and his father communicate well with each other?
- What would this book look like if it was updated to include the latest in communication technology? You know, Facebook, cell phones, texting, twitter….
Chew on This
Jerry isn't a good communicator; he rarely says what he means. If he'd been more willing to talk with the other students about why he says "No" to the chocolates, he might have been able to make a real difference at Trinity.


text: The article gives information about the design and development process of The Volvo Uddevalla plant. By giving a holistic view, the article describes the parallel flow production using long cycle time assembly work and handling advanced material. In order to find out more about the design of the plant, some considerations were taken as a main objective and 2 of the authors were deeply involved from 1985 – 1993. In the beginning of the article, the authors present perspectives that has been considered and they are driven by something external. They decide to use " internal logic" in order to interpret the process as a constraint driven process.It is only mentioned that the design process from the start of the plant in 1985 to its closing in 1993 and reopened in 1996. The article also brings up that the design processes are driven by something external and the authors decide to look into internal driven factors of the design processes. The discussion is based on the 3 assembly workshops and focuses on the decision about the final layout for the assembly workshops in 1987 and the constraints.Key aspects which are related to the design process reveal that the layout was accepted by force than what was expected in the beginning due to constraints that had to be considered are analyzedThe article has a qualitative approach and an inductive reasoning because the reader is able understand reasons of conclusion that is in this case based on experimental workshops and observations. In order to generalize the results, experiments and observations were made. After taking conclusions from this, the experimental workshop became the foundation for the final layout that included training workshops to observe and analyze the operators.The theoretical implications are based on the 2 of the authors own experiences which is one of the reason the validity is increased, and is somewhat combined with the literature but when they discuss the layouts, it is more referred to the 2 authors experience than theory which can be seen as slightly biased. However current and relevant theory has been usedThe actual design process for the Uddevalla plant involved series of choices that would have an impact on the following decision and therefor create constraints and restrictions on succeeding decisions. This led to the implementation of a parallel flow production by accident. Despite not recognizing and fully understand the potential of parallel flow production, this proved to be effective and more humane then traditional plants. Parallel flow production principles marked a radical break with the mass production tradition. Unorthodox production principles were recognized and led to a greater understandingThe result and main conclusion in this article, is that the Volvo project group responsible for the design of the Uddevalla plant that was forced to by constraints to accept a layout which led to the implementation of production principles that were considered more unorthodox then the project group had foreseen and desired.

This paper studies the effect of vibration characteristics of tube line conveying fluid with the power steering system of bus. We modelled fluid-filled tube line using I-DEAS software to investigate vibration characteristics of the power steering tube line. And we obtained the natural frequency of tube line through finite element analysis. Analytic solutions were compared with experimental solutions to verify finite element model. We tested the tube line to examine an effect of pressure pulse by vane pump and variation of geometry of tube. From both the experimental results and the modeling results for vibration characteristics of the tube line conveying fluid, we confirmed that vibration characteristics induced by pulse propagated along the power steering tube line and resonance occurred around the natural frequency with pulse excitation.

Pakistan's Gwadar port is facing acute drinking water shortages after a three-year drought in the arid province of Balochistan. Officials
hope the port city will become an international business hub of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) – an ambitious US $46 billion project linking the deep water port on the Arabian Sea with the city of Kashgar in western China. But Gwadar city is
facing a growing water crisis, leaving 100,000 people with no access to clean drinking water.
Residents have been forced to buy expensive
water (US $115-140 per tanker) or wait days for government subsidised water transported from 80 kilometres away. Other locals have resorted to boiling sea water for drinking purposes. This is the second time that Gwadar and the surrounding areas in Balochistan
province have suffered major water shortages in six years.
Booming population puts pressure on scant resources .The recent influx of Punjabis factories & Chinese
workers has put more pressure on scant water resources. The city's population is growing due to the CPEC project and the crisis will become more severe unless urgent steps are taken by the government. A Chinese state owned company took control of the
strategically important port at Gwadar in Pakistan in November last year, signing a deal for over 2,000 acres of land and supposed to have diverted scant water for construction activities. The port has been designated a free trade zone. An official from Gwadar
port says "We rely on bottled water, but poor people here are in bad condition due to the water crisis,".
crisis for the poor Women, children and the poor have been particularly badly hit by the water shortages, Naseema Ehsan Shah, a female senator from Gwadar city said "Women and children have to load jars or buckets on their heads to carry water from miles
away to meet their domestic needs," she said. Women also travel for miles just to wash their clothes. "Bibi we don't expect anything else from you. Please just give us water," Shah quoted a woman in Gwadar as saying during a recent visit
to her constituency. Despite the poverty and other social problems in the city, the water crisis has forced people to forget everything else, she said. "Water is the basic requirement of every human being and we request the government to take steps to
provide this immediately", said Shah.
Akara Kaur dam The Akara Kaur dam, the only source of water for Gwadar and surrounding areas, has almost dried up because
of neglect by the Government. The dam, designed and built in early 1990s, has failed to keep up with the water demands of the city because of the growing population and the slow accumulation of silt in the reservoir, the senator explained. Gwadar has become
known to the entire world due to the multibillion CPEC project, but nobody knows how its population is suffering due to the water shortages," said Ms Shah. She criticised the large metro project being constructed in Lahore with an investment of over
one billion dollars under the CPEC. "It would be more appropriate if even half of these funds were diverted towards water supply projects in Gwadar," she said. "There will be a humanitarian crisis in the city in future if steps are not taken,"
she warned. Earlier the construction of the US $13 million Sawar and Shadi Kaur dams begun by the provincial government in 2007 was suspended after contractors and workers were kidnapped by armed men in 2014. The recent kidnapping of two Chinese workers has
further worsened the situation.

The Healthy Hearts for Life Learning Model
The HHFL Applied Learning Model (ALM) provides a structured approach to the change management challenges facing heart patients and at risk individuals. The ALM approach offers a comprehensive and integrated progression of learning support steps throughout the lifecycle of behavioral change. Applied learning offers a more practical combination of learning styles. ALM blends the skills of traditional education methods with the opportunity to deploy and practice new techniques by applying them in everyday activities.
Visualize-Understanding the challenges of healthy heart lifestyle changes and ALM tools for preventing or stabilizing/reversing heart disease.
This first learning step is focused on building a shared understanding of heart disease and preventative action needs and serves as the foundation for success in the program. The Visualize design objectives are focused on establishing a shared understanding of the Applied Learning Model including the process, information, cost and organizational support network. The first step also serves to set the correct expectations early on in the learning lifecycle.
Prioritize-Baseline Individual Healthy Hearts Metrics, Target Goals and Personal Milestone Priorities that Match the Challenge and Capabilities of the Participant.
The Prioritize Learning Step is focused on developing a personalized learning strategy. The Healthy Hearts strategy deployment begins with development of a personal baseline of the participant's key heart healthy metrics, improvement goals and priorities. The learning step will be completed through a one on one discussion between the participant and their assigned Healthy Hearts lifestyle coach.
Configure – Developing a Detailed Heart Healthy Plan and the Right Configuration of HHFL Solution Modules
The Configure Learning Step is focused on advancing the participant's priority strategy into a personalized Healthy Hearts plan of action. During the Configure learning step, participants will work with the Lifestyle Coach and Solution Building Block Leaders. The participants will be given introductory solution building block materials, guided through related scheduling information, answer any questions and assist them in the completion of their plan.
Achieve – Practice through Deployment of the Solution Building Blocks
The last step is focused on implementation of the participant's plan. Participants will then concentrate on practicing their new skills over an extended period. The lifestyle coach will follow up with a monthly meeting and periodic progress reviews via a web-based system tracking system (part of a central technology platform), and by phone or e-mail between the meetings to insure continuity and motivation. The goal is to shift the participants' thinking and behaviors to a point where the adoption of these practices becomes the new norm for the participants.

How does the weight of a pendulum effect its oscillation time.
Extracts from this document...
Liam Kelly
How does the weight of a pendulum effect its oscillation time
The key factors that could affect this experiment are that the length of pendulum varying will change how far it has to swing to complete an oscillation.
The weight of the pendulum will have a effect on the oscillation time because the pendulum will have more weights which will increase the surface area for air resistance to take place this is the only possible way the weight of the pendulum will affect the oscillation time because, gravity is a standard force, so the weight will not effect the amount of gravity taking place.
The angle at which it is dropped at is another key factor because, if it is dropped from higher up it has longer to pick up speed so therefore it shall travel higher up giving it a longer oscillation time. If the pendulum is dropped from a lower then it shall have less time to pick up speed and so will not travel as high up on the other side.

We could have improved our test by having a beam and when it is broke by the pendulum the fifth time the pendulum breaks the beam it could stop timing so it would be the same reaction time for all, we could have had a stand or something to hold the pendulum in place before it is dropped that way we could be sure it was from the same spot each time.
In our experiment there was some slightly out of place results in our experiment but they're no severe ones that could be anomalous results.
 We could have investigated a further 1000g so we went to 2000g to see if after every 500g there was a jump in time of nearly a second our so, like there was in our experiment. We could also continue to the point of were we have added so much weight that it could not complete 5 oscillations to the same height as it started. We could also have tried the experiment at different temperatures to see what effect, if any it had on the oscillation times.

 it would seem more sensible to incorporate a formula to account for it. Or alternatively use a denser ball, which is less affected by air resistance. The straightness of the ramp can affect the experiment in two ways. If the ramp is not straight the ball will bounce from side

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I am trying to write a conditional batch insert based on Java Parameters, for example
List params = new ArrayList();
params.add(new Object[]{1, 2, 3});
"INSERT INTO SomeTable( colA, colB, colC)" +
 " VALUES(?,?,?)" +
 " WHERE EXISTS ( // some condition )", params);
This obviously does not work, and the closest example I have found involves selecting the INSERT values from tables, instead of the List arguments, which is what I need. How can I reference the Object[] parameters as part of the INSERT values?
Thank you.

I'd say that you should move this condition in a separate SELECT.

Can you provide an example? The problem with SELECT, is that I believe I have to be referencing table values, whereas I just want to reference the parameter java variables. – meiguoren Nov 9 '10 at 4:05
As your example, you should try following syntax and the SimpleJdbcOperations.update method:
 " SELECT srcA, srcB, srcC" +
 " FROM src_table" +
 " WHERE EXISTS ( // some condition )",
Additionally, I've been using StringTemplate for generation of dynamic SQL. It's the best language I ever use.
for Example(As StringTemplate Syntax):
StringTemplate tmpl = new StringTemplate(
 " SELECT *" +
 " FROM some_table" +
 " WHERE 1 = 1" +
 "$search_age:{ AND age =?}$" +
 "$search_name:{ AND name =?}$"
 * if param_age is not null, "AND age =?" would be included in argumented sql,
 * same as param_name
tmpl.setAttribute("age", param_age);
tmpl.setAttribute("name", param_name);
// :~)
String sqlTmpl = tmpl.toString(); // final SQL generated

Bivouac of the Dead
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A plaque quoting the poem at Golden Gate National Cemetery
A plaque at Cave Hill Cemetery quoting the Bivouac of the Dead
The Bivouac of the Dead is a poem written by Danville, Kentucky native, Theodore O'Hara to honor his fellow soldiers from Kentucky who died in the Mexican-American War. The poem increased its popularity after the Civil War, and its verses have been featured on many memorials to fallen Confederate soldiers in the Southern United States, and are even to be found on many memorials in Arlington National Cemetery, including Arlington's gateway.[1]
When war against Mexico was declared in May 1846, O'Hara left Washington, D.C. to return to his native Kentucky in order to enlist. Within a month, he was appointed Captain of the Kentucky Volunteers, and served as their assistant quartermaster. Before he returned to Kentucky in 1847, he was made a brevet major. After hearing of the severe losses that the 2nd Kentucky Infantry and Kentucky cavalry suffered from the Battle of Buena Vista, O'Hara wrote the Bivouac of the Dead in dedication of the fallen troops. When many of the fallen Kentuckians were buried in Frankfort Cemetery on July 20, 1847, future congressman and U.S. Vice President John C. Breckinridge spoke for an hour at the event. Whether or not O'Hara spoke Bivouac of the Dead is disputed, but it is commonly believed that he did. It is agreed he spoke the poem in 1850 at the same cemetery, for the interment of William T. Barry and General Charles Scott. Bivouac of the Dead would later be called "a worthy contribution to American Literature." It was first published in the Frankfort Yeoman in 1850. However, modern historians have also claimed it was not written until 1851, after Narciso López's failed attempt to remove Cuba from Spanish control.[1][2][3][4]
O'Hara was known to change the lyrics to Bivouac. Alternations included removing mentions of specific places, and removing various stanzas. In 1858 the Mobile Register published what is believed to be the original version, with the Louisville Courier publishing the original with an introduction stating it was the version spoken at the 1847 ceremony, reflecting the changes in the poem. In 1900 The New York Times devoted an article decrying all the alterations to the poem, and stressed returning to the original version.[2][5]
When O'Hara was reinterred at Frankfort Cemetery, a friend used Bivouac as the eulogy.[2]
The first monument to the fallen Confederate States of America in Kentucky, the Confederate Monument in Cynthiana, used a verse from the Bivouac of the Dead. Six other monuments in Kentucky also used parts of the poem on memorials to fallen Confederates.[6] Portions of the poem are also displayed on 7 plaques at Finn's Point National Cemetery in Pennsville, New Jersey, where a significant number of Confederate Soldiers who died in captivity during the American Civil War are buried.
It was Montgomery C. Meigs who chose to quote Bivouac of the Dead for the entrance into Arlington, due to its solemn appeal. However, at Arlington and many other national cemeteries, O'Hara was not credited due to having fought for the Confederacy.[2]
During the late 1920s and 1930s, instances of Bivouac on markers throughout national cemeteries were removed, leaving only fourteen with Bivouac verses on tablets. In 2001, the National Cemetery Administration began returning the first stanza to any national cemetery in which the poem is missing.[2]
Parts of the poem may be found at Marye's Heights in Fredericksburg, Virginia Also, The national cemetery (Union soldiers only) at Antietam in Sharpsburg MD has phases from the first stanza on markers at various points.

LYON, FRANCE—Smoking is associated with an increased risk for multiple sclerosis (MS), according to Jonathan Salzer, MD, from the Department of Neurology at Umeå University in Sweden, and colleagues, who reported their study findings at the 28th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS). They found that elevated cotinine levels in serum and plasma samples drawn a median of nine years prior to disease onset were associated with a 50% increased risk for MS. The effect was only evident in those under a median age of 26.4. The association, the researchers said, became slightly stronger when excluding users of smokeless tobacco.
Dr. Salzer and colleagues sought to investigate the effects of laboratory-defined tobacco use on the risk for MS using prospectively collected biobank blood samples. Their nested case-control study was performed in northern Sweden, and used two population-based biobank cohorts to identify blood samples collected before MS onset. Levels of cotinine, a recognized biochemical marker for tobacco use, were measured using an immunoassay. Self-reported questionnaire data on tobacco use were collected retrospectively.
The researchers found that elevated cotinine levels (≥10 ng/ml) were associated with a significantly increased risk for MS (odds ratio, 1.5). This association was most pronounced in young individuals (below median age at blood sampling, <26.4 years). No dose-response effect was evident. The findings were replicated by retrospective smoking questionnaire data.

Testing Medicinal Plants at Dilston Physic Garden
Would you like to volunteer for Medicinal Plant Trials?
We are investigating if plants have the effects indicated by traditional use and focus on plants for the mind, since so much of well-being depends an optimal state of mind. Rather than major multicentre trials involving objective measures, we plan to conduct small (but statistically valid) trials involving self-assessment i.e. using, as an outcome, individual subjective experience.
Such studies would involve volunteers of all ages (over 18) with normal mental health, taking a safe herbal preparation, once or twice a day for a week or two, and completing a self assessment form before and at the end of the trial period. According to best clinical practice, volunteers would be randomly divided into 2 groups, one taking the active agent and the other an inactive (placebo-like) with no one knowing which they are on ('blind'). The results would be published in a peer reviewed scientific journal.
We would be most grateful if you would kindly complete this online questionnaire to help us design a useful and meaningful study:

What Makes a Child Lucky
By Gioia Timpanelli
Norton; 127 pages; $19.95
Like a pot of lentils, Gioia Timpanelli's stories are elemental, simple but filling, and her new novel, "What Makes a Child Lucky," is no exception, teaching the basics of survival in a time of great hardship. Best known for her oral recountings of global folktales on public radio, Timpanelli won the American Book Award in 1999 for "Sometimes the Soul: Two Novellas of Sicily." This time out, she remakes yet another Sicilian fable, weaving a regional fairy tale into a timeless present.
The original fable, which opens "What Makes a Child Lucky," tells of a 13th son, a "lucky" boy named Tridicinu. The youth is envied by his older brothers for his seemingly effortless good fortune. One day, echoing the story of Joseph in the Bible, they cast him out, sending him on an impossible mission to retrieve a set of golden bells kept by a family of ogres beneath their monstrous bed.
In Timpanelli's retelling, her hero's family has fallen on hard times. Famine has struck the land, and the "lucky" youngest (also a Joseph) is basically given to a gang of thieves. These thieves, young Joseph learns, have robbed and murdered his only friend, an honest wine merchant. Still, across Sicily people are starving and at least with the gang he can eat. He can also learn, and during his time with the gang, he is befriended and protected by the wise 'Mmaculata, a strange, strong and silent woman who keeps house for the bandits.
"Keep your young eyes open," this earth mother tells Joseph, showing him by example how to avoid the wrath of the most bloodthirsty of the thieves and, ultimately, how to seize the opportunity to make a better life.
Through her lessons and a bit of supernatural intervention, he survives - and if he doesn't return with the ogres' golden bells, he does get to emerge a hero and, most important, a survivor.
With its touches of magical realism and earthy images, Timpanelli's short novel is almost a fable itself. Told in a self-referential style, with interruptions and repeated refrains, its first-person narration reads as if it were to be recited aloud, ideally by a narrator playing young Joseph.
This voice, colloquial and not highly organized, is at first jarring and a little mannered. Who is the Aunt who interrupts from the very first page? Why is the narrator eulogizing a "flat and uninteresting" land? But with very little patience, the rhythms of Timpanelli's language take hold, allowing the hunger-sating, earthy images (that pot of lentils, the wild greens gathered to allay starvation) to settle in. By the time the narrator starts to describe more abstract ideas, the listener, as we must imagine the reader to be, is hooked. "Hunger is a funny thing," she writes, "for it is personal, even intimate.... It searches you out and becomes the roof over your head, the floor beneath your feet."
Throughout this brief novel, Timpanelli sustains that tension, mixing the abstract moral of her story with its most basic nature, and leavening its rough practicalities with touches of magic. "What happened next I can't completely explain," Timpanelli, through Joseph, says, describing a vision that could have been his late friend - or simply a fortunate wind. "I guess I was lucky that time," Joseph recalls, looking back on his rescue and his role in resolving the story.
But as he has learned from 'Mmaculata, luck often consists of keeping one's eyes open and one's mouth shut, of learning when to act, when to stay still, and when to harvest the wild asparagus on the hillsides. {sbox}

Setting up networks is an essential operation for a system administrator. Maintaining network connectivity and securing the network are also essential operations. In this lab, we will configure a Virtual Private Network using static IP addresses (eg. wired workstation connections). We will learn how to setup a DHCP network (eg. for notebook, table and smartphones) in lab 8.
Purpose / Objectives of Lab 6
In this lab, you will learn the basics of networking by using your Virtual Machines. You will first set up a virtual private network (VPN) among those machines. In addition, you will learn to set up network names (to associate with server's IP Addresses), associate network services with port numbers for troubleshooting purposes, and use shell scripts with arrays to store network configuration data.
Main Objectives
 1. Configure a private (virtual) network for your VMs and your c7host machine
 2. Configure network interfaces for your Virtual Machines using both graphical and command-line utilities.
 3. Use local hostname resolution to resolve simple server names with their corresponding IP Addresses
 4. Use common networking utilities to associate network services with port numbers for troubleshooting purposes
 5. Use shell scripts with arrays to store network configuration data

Additional Utilities
For the remainder of this course, we will focus on networking involving our VMs. This lab will focus on setting up a virtual private network (VPN), connecting our VMs and c7host machine to the VPN, and configuring our VPN to make more convenient to use, troubleshoot and protect. Lab 7 will focus on configuring SSH and making access to the VPN more secure. Finally, lab 8 will focus on configuring mobile (as well as wired devices) via DHCP to automatically assign an IP address.
There are several reasons for creating VPNs. The main reason is to safely connect servers together (i.e. to safely limit but allow the sharing of information among computer network users). This allows for a secure connection of computers yet controlling access to and monitoring (protecting) access to permitted users (discussed later in lab7).
This diagram shows the current network configuration of your c7host machine in relation to your Virtual Machines. In this section, you will be learning to change the default network settings for both your c7host machine and VMs to belong to a virtual network using fixed IP Addresses.
Part 1: Configuring a Private Network (Via Virtual Machine Manager)
If we are going to setup a private network, there are a number of steps to perform: First, define a new private network in the Virtual Manager application; and second, configure each of our VMs to connect to this new private network. In Part 1, we will be perform the first operation. In part 2, we will be performing the second operation for all VMS (graphical and command-line).
Before configuring our network, we want to turn off dynamic network configuration for our Virtual Machines by turning off the "default" virtual network. We will then define our virtual private network.
Perform the following steps:
 1. Launch your c7host VM and start the Virtual Machine Manager.
 2. Make certain that the centos1, centos2, and centos3 virtual machines are powered off.
 3. In the Virtual Machine Manager dialog box, select Edit-> Connection Details.
 4. In the Connection Details dialog box, select the Virtual Networks tab
 5. Click to de-select the Autostart (on boot) check-box options and click the Apply button.
 6. Stop the default network configuration by clicking on the stop button at the bottom left-side of the dialog box.
 7. Click the add button (the button resembles a "plus sign") to add a new network configuration.
 8. Type the network name called: network1, and then click the Forward button.
 9. In the next screen, enter the new network IP address space called:
 10. Disable the DHCP4 check box and click the Forward button.
 11. Click the Forward button again to accept the default in the next screen.
 12. Enable Network Forwarding by Selecting Forwarding to physical network, the destination should be Any physical device and the mode should be NAT
 13. Proceed with changes, and click Finish.
 1. We will now reconfigure each of our VMs to use our new virtual network network1
 1. Let's start with our centos1 VM. Double-click on your centos1 VM, but instead of running the VM, click on the view menu, and select: Details
 (Note: the Virtual Machine window will appear - do not start virtual machine)
 2. In the left pane of the Virtual Machine window, select NIC: and note that this NIC is on the "default" virtual network
 3. Change it to Virtual Network network1: NAT (i.e. the VPN that you just created) and click the Apply button.
Although the private network has been setup via the Virtual Machine Manager, each virtual machine requires to change its own network setting individually (either graphically or by command line).
Part 2: Configuring Network For centos1 VM
In this section, we will be using a graphical tool to connect our centos1 VM to our private network.
Perform the following steps:
 1. On your c7host machine, run ifconfig and make note of the IP address assigned to the virbr1 (i.e. "Virtual Bridge) interface. This will be the default gateway and DNS server for your VMs.
 2. Select the Console view (instead of Details), start your centos1 VM and login.
 3. Within your centos1 VM, click Applications menu, then select System Tools, and then Settings.
 4. In the Settings Dialog Box, click on the Network icon.
 5. For the Wired connection, click the settings button (The icon appears as a gear located at the bottom right-hand corner of the dialog box).
 6. Select the IPv4 tab. Change Address from Automatic (DHCP) to Manual.
 7. In the Addresses section, enter the following information:
 IP Address:
 Subnet Mask:
 Default Gateway: The IP address of virbr1 on your centos host.
 8. Click on the DNS' field and add The IP address (virbr1 on your centos host) as the primary DNS server.
 9. When finished, check your settings, and then click the Apply button.
 10. Open a terminal and issue the ifconfig command to confirm the IP ADDRESS settings change.
 11. Verify that centos1VM is now connected to the VPN by issuing the following command from your c7host machine:
Although you can use the ifconfig command to temporarily create a static IP address connection to a network, you need to add the network settings in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory to automatically connect to the network upon Linux system boot-up.
Part 3: Configuring VM Network Setup via Command Line (centos3 and centos2)
The centos3 and centos2 VMs are text-based only systems, thus we cannot use a graphical tool to configure centos3 to connect to our private network. Therefore we will learn how to perform this task by using command-line tools.
Perform the following steps:
 1. Configure your centos3 VM (in the View -> Details menu of Virtual Machine Manager) to configure the NIC interface to network1, click Apply, and switch your centos3 VM view from details to console.
 2. Start your centos3 VM, login, and su to root.
 3. Use the command called: ifconfig to list active interfaces, you should see one with a name of eth0 or a similar name.
 NOTE: If the ifconfig command is NOT available in your centos3 vm, issue the command:
 yum install net-tools
 4. To configure your card with a static address use the following command:
 ifconfig eth0 netmask
 5. To configure a default gateway for that interface enter the command:
 route add default gw
 6. To configure a DNS server for this VM, edit the file /etc/resolv.conf. Change the nameserver line to read:
 7. Confirm your settings work by doing the following (you might need to do the steps 3 and 4 a few times before it works; keep checking with the commands below and wait a bit before each attempt): ifconfig, route -n, ping (other VM's IP address), and ssh ( to your Seneca's Matrix account to test your DNS)
 8. Restart the centos3 VM, or just wait a few minutes.
 9. Login and test your configuration again. What happened?
 10. While we can configure network settings from the command line those settings are not persistent. To configure persistent network configurations we need to edit the configuration files.
 11. Change to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory
 This diagram should show the newer network configuration of your c7host machine in relation to your Virtual Machines.
 12. List the contents of this directory. You should see

That morning cup of coffee may be an antidote to post-exercise muscle soreness, if preliminary research is correct.
In a small study of female college students, researchers found that a caffeine supplement seemed to lessen the familiar muscle pain that crops up the day after a particularly challenging workout.
Known as delayed-onset muscle soreness, or DOMS, the pain is common in the day or two after a workout that was more intense than normal. Exercise that involves eccentric contraction of the muscles is particularly likely to cause delayed muscle pain.
The theory is that caffeine eases delayed muscle pain by blocking the activity of a chemical called adenosine, which is released as part of the inflammatory response to injury. Adenosine can activate pain receptors in body cells, explained Victor Maridakis, the study's lead author.In this study, he told Reuters Health, the pain relief with caffeine was stronger than that from painkillers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) and naproxen (Aleve).1

ROTOR - Rotation Stage
Characteristics – ROTOR - Rotary Stage
Downloads piezo stages
Piezoelectric Rotary Stage - Summary
The piezoelectric based rotary stages ROTOR 10 and the ROTOR 10 SG, one axis low voltage rotary stages are a development within our ultra-fast ROTOR line. The piezo element provides a long steering and scanning range of up to 11 mrad. Key feature for all piezomechanically driven stages is the nearly unlimited position resolution. The well defined axis of rotation is centrically located. An incorporated free aperture makes these stages useful for axial beam applications.
The piezo stage series ROTOR 10 is not limited for the use as a positioning instrument for physics only. More and more the piezo based ROTOR stages are common for applications in the field of high precision positioning of instrument for biological systems like needle adjustment or fiber alignement.
Due to FEA-optimization, these stages meet the highest dynamical performance and high planar guiding accuracy. This is accomplished even with high mass loads in a compact package.
Our optimization also incorporates excellent temperature compensation properties for the stage. The sophisticated monolithic guidance design of the solid flexure hinges means the trajectory is free of mechanical play and friction - a feature provided by all stages of Piezosystem Jena.
Applications for piezo stages:
- Fiber alignment
- Precision adjustment for biological instruments
- Material sciences/crystallography
- Laser beam steering
Rotary Drive/Rotation Stage with continuous movement around its axis
piezosystem jena offers also rotary stages with continuous movement around its axis.
You can find these piezo-driven long travel devices wich are combinable with nanopositioning drives as well under Motion Control.

Facial Feedback Hypothesis Essay

Facial Feedback Hypothesis | Replicability-Index
The facial feedback hypothesis, rooted in the conjectures of Charles Darwin and William James, is that one's facial expression directly affects their emotional experience. Specifically, physiological activation of the facial regions associated with certain emotions holds a direct effect on the elicitation of such emotional states, and the lack of or inhibition of facial activation will result in the suppression or absence altogether of corresponding emotional states. Variations of the facial feedback hypothesis differ in regards to what extent of engaging in a given facial expression plays in the modulation of affective experience. Particularly, a "strong" version facial feedback is the decisive factor in whether emotional perception occurs or not and a "weak" version facial expression plays a limited role in influencing affect. While a plethora of research exists on the facial feedback hypothesis and its variations, only the weak version has received substantial support, thus it is widely suggested that facial expression likely holds a minor facilitative impact on emotional experience. However, it is not essential to the onset of affective states.

A general framework for formulating structured variable selection
Published: 25 Jan 2024, Last Modified: 17 Sept 2024Accepted by TMLREveryoneRevisionsBibTeXCC BY 4.0
Abstract: In variable selection, a selection rule that prescribes the permissible sets of selected variables (called a "selection dictionary") is desirable due to the inherent structural constraints among the candidate variables. Such selection rules can be complex in real-world data analyses, and failing to incorporate such restrictions could not only compromise the interpretability of the model but also lead to decreased prediction accuracy. However, no general framework has been proposed to formalize selection rules and their applications, which poses a significant challenge for practitioners seeking to integrate these rules into their analyses. In this work, we establish a framework for structured variable selection that can incorporate universal structural constraints. We develop a mathematical language for constructing arbitrary selection rules, where the selection dictionary is formally defined. We demonstrate that all selection rules can be expressed as combinations of operations on constructs, facilitating the identification of the corresponding selection dictionary. We use a detailed and complex example to illustrate the developed framework. Once this selection dictionary is derived, practitioners can apply their own user-defined criteria to select the optimal model. Additionally, our framework enhances existing penalized regression methods for variable selection by providing guidance on how to appropriately group variables to achieve the desired selection rule. Furthermore, our innovative framework opens the door to establishing new $\ell_0$-based penalized regression techniques that can be tailored to respect arbitrary selection rules, thereby expanding the possibilities for more robust and tailored model development.

Air Pollution Alert for Southern Tier & Central NY
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has issued an Air Quality Alert for the Southern Tier and Central New York for 11 a.m. through 11 p.m. May 21.
The alert is for Broome, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Tioga, Tompkins Counties and north through Syracuse.
The D.E.C. says air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than the index value of 100 for ozone.
The Air Quality Index, or A.Q.I., was created as a way to correlate levels of different pollutants onto one scale so it's easier to assess the health concern. The higher the value, the greater the health concern.
The New York State Department of Health recommends people think about limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity when pollution levels are elevated.
The very young and those with pre-existing respiratory problems like asthma or heart disease can be especially sensitive.


What is Entry Process Limit in Linux Shared Hosting?
An Entry Process is the number of PHP scripts you can run at a time. Our Shared Hosting and WordPress hosting plans have limitation of 20 entry process at a time.
Is it like number of visitors on website?
An Entry Process should not be confused with the number of visitors you can have on your website as it takes just fractions of a second to complete. While we restrict shared hosting and WordPress hosting with 20 entry processes that doesn't mean that only 20 people can visit your website at a time. It's because there is very rare possibility of 20 people browsing your website at the same fraction of a second.
When a visitor browses any web page of your website, the web server would start serving the request. While this request is being served, it will use one entry process. Once this request has been served, the web server would no longer use an entry process and the entry process count would get decreased by 1. Please note that cron jobs, shell scripts and other commands also use entry process for the duration of the time they are running.

Why do you put such restrictions?
We have created entry process limitations to ensure that no single user consumes all server resources and to prevent DDoS attacks against the web server. Entry process will limit the number of concurrent connections to web server, thus preventing our server against malicious traffic.

What happens if I reach my limit?
When you use all allotted entry processes (20), new visitors would experience a 508 error.

ENVIRONMENTAL EARTH SCIENCES, vol.76, 2017 (SCI-Expanded)
Extreme and/or prolonged rainfall events frequently cause landslides in many parts of the world. In this study, infiltration of rainfall into an unsaturated soil slope and triggering of landslides is studied through laboratory model (flume) tests, with the goal of obtaining the triggering rainfall intensity-duration (I-D) threshold. Flume tests with fine sand at two different relative densities (34 and 48%) and at slope angle of 56.5 degrees are prepared, and rainfall (intensity in the range of 18 to 64 mm/h) is applied via a mist sprinkler system to trigger landslides. Soil water characteristic curve and hydraulic conductivity function of the fine sand are also presented. In flume tests, suction in the soil is measured with tensiometers, the progress of wetting front with time and deformations in the soil are also measured. Some of the findings of this study are: for the fine sand used in this study (a) the failure mechanism is infinite-slope type (mostly translational), and the failure surface is generally coincident with the wetting front or is in its vicinity, (b) the deformations leading to a landslide occurred abruptly, (c) both relatively high-intensity-short-duration rainfalls and relatively low-intensity-long duration rainfalls triggered landslides, (d) the shape of the I-D threshold is demonstrated to be a bilinear relation in log intensity-log duration plot, (e) below a certain rainfall intensity landslides are not triggered, (f) the effect of relative density of the soil on the I-D threshold is demonstrated by physical laboratory tests (as the relative density of the soil increases, the triggering rainfall intensity-duration threshold moves to larger rainfall events). The results of this study could be useful for accurate numerical modeling of rainfall-triggered landslides.
