Open CV : Real-time video streaming with graphical elements
Updated: Nov 19, 2021
OpenCV (Open source computer vision) is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision.Originally developed by Intel, it was later supported by Willow Garage then Itseez (which was later acquired by Intel). The library is cross-platform and free for use under the open-source BSD license. OpenCV supports the deep learning frameworks TensorFlow, Torch/PyTorch and Caffe.
quote from Wikipedia
OpenCV implementation in Python allows creating a video streaming application in a couple of lines of codes. You can even add a haarcascade classifier to detect faces in real-time. Here's a really simple example:
# coding: utf-8
import cv2
# create Haar feature-based cascade classifiers for faces
face_classifier = cv2.CascadeClassifier("haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml")
# capture video from the default camera (id=0)
video_capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
# rgb color codes
red=(0,0,255)
green=(0,255,0)
blue=(255,0,0)
white=(255,255,255)
# line type used for drawung a rectangular around a detected object
lineType=1
# Main loop (endless video capture)
while True:
 # Capture frame-by-frame
 ret, frame = video_capture.read()
 # Prepare to convert to gray scale
 gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
 cv2.namedWindow('Video', cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL)
 # Full screen mode
 cv2.namedWindow("Video", cv2.WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN)
 cv2.setWindowProperty("Video", cv2.WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN, cv2.WINDOW_FULLSCREEN)
 faces = face_classifier.detectMultiScale(frame)
 # Analyze only in case of presence of faces
 if len(faces) > 0:
 for each face save it as file and send to the API
 for (x, y, w, h) in faces:
 try:
 # draw a white rectangle around all the faces
 cv2.rectangle(frame, (x, y), (+ w, y + h), white, lineType)
 except:
 continue
 # Display the resulting frame
 cv2.imshow('Video', frame)
 if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
 break
# When everything is done, release the capture
video_capture.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
But what if you wanted to add some graphical elements to it? One may use tkinter and add buttons to the bottom panel, like in this example.
However, if you wanted to add some graphical elements to your screen you will not be able to process images directly in your main widget. Thus, if you want to add a logo directly under a detected face, you will need to process a frame and add an image to it.
In this article we will create an application that:
 1. Detects a face using a haarcascade classifier
 2. Analyses a face using Tensor flow
 3. Dynamically adds a logo to a video streaming application according to the classification results
Up we go!
1) First you need to upload images
# upload logo and resize it
white_logo = cv2.imread('picto_blanc/picto1.png')
cyan_logo = cv2.imread('picto_cyan/picto1.png')
orange_logo = cv2.imread('picto_orange/picto1.png')
green_logo = cv2.imread('picto_vert/picto1.png')
2. Set a full screen mode
# capture video from the camera by default
video_capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
# Full screen mode
cv2.namedWindow("Video", cv2.WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN)
cv2.setWindowProperty("Video", cv2.WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN, cv2.WINDOW_FULLSCREEN)
3. Then create a video streaming and initialize your deep learning model
#These names are part of the model and cannot be changed.
output_layer = 'loss:0'
input_node = 'Placeholder:0'
with tf.Session() as sess:
 prob_tensor = sess.graph.get_tensor_by_name(output_layer)
 # Main loop (endless video capture)
 while True:
 # Capture frame-by-frame
 ret, frame = video_capture.read()
 # flip frame to avoid mirror effect
 frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
 # convert to gray scale (for better face detection)
 gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
 set the header image
 frame[0:header_logo_resized.shape[0], 0:header_logo_resized.shape[1]] = header_logo_resized
At this step we only add a big header to the main window.
4. Implement your analysis and according to the result set a logo.
predictions = sess.run(prob_tensor, {input_node: [augmented_image]})
get the highest probability label
highest_probability_index = np.argmax(predictions)
predicted_tag = labels[highest_probability_index]
output_text=predicted_tag
# calculate logo positions
# distance between border and logo
PADDING = 5
# gowning
gowningX = rectangleXup + PADDING
gowningY = rectangleYdown + PADDING
# blouse (between mask and gowning)
# int () - opencv only supports int for coordinates
blouseX = int((gowningX + maskX)/2)
blouseY = rectangleYdown + PADDING
if predicted_tag == 'OK':
 frameColor = green
 cv2.rectangle(frame, (rectangleXup - 1, rectangleYdown),
 (rectangleXdown + 1, rectangleYdown + LOGO_SIZE + PADDING),
 frameColor, -1)
 frame[maskY:maskY + LOGO_SIZE, maskX:maskX + LOGO_SIZE] = white_mask_compact
And so and so forth. As you may have notices the logic is quite simple: for each condition we add a separate logo and calculate the size of the logo according to the size of a face detected by the application.
The real trick is here
frame[maskY:maskY + LOGO_SIZE, maskX:maskX + LOGO_SIZE] = white_mask_compact
At this very point you add a logo at the previously defined position.
Now you can create your awesome real-time applications using OpenCV and without having to use Tkinter.
Hope you will find it useful

text: MF radar is an important instrument for measuring the wind field of the mesosphere and electron density of the lower ionosphere. The principle, configuration and working mode of a new MF radar in Kunming is presented firstly. Then, its observation data are preliminary analysed. The observation in January 2009 shows the certain fluctuation character of the horizontal wind with the largest zonal velocity of 80 m/s and meridional velocity of 40 m/s. The data in this month are studied by using Lomb-Scargle periodogram and harmonic fitting method. It indicates that the diurnal tide is the major perturbance component of the wind field in the height between 80~100 km. The amplitudes of the zonal and meridional tides change with height, and the phases propagating downward. It is also shown that the phase of the meridional tide is ahead of the zonal one. The comparison between the observed electron density on daytime and IRI2000 value indicates that both the variations versus height are agree well with each other, though sometimes the former is smaller.

To find the association between admission mean platelet volume in patients presenting with acute STEMI and mortality and to compare this index among diabetics and non-diabetics presenting with acute STEMI among patients admitted to Kanyakumari Government Medical College Hospital during the period January 2015 to December 2015.
A cross sectional study was carried out among 100 patients admitted to the ICCU with Acute Myocardial Infarction who underwent thrombolysis. Information about their glycaemic status, TIMI score, KILLIP class, Mean platelet Volume was collected.
Mean Platelet Volume was higher in diabetics compared to non-diabetics (9.94 fl for diabetics and 9.06 fl for non-diabetics). Patients who presented with higher TIMI score and KILLIP class had higher MPV values. Mortality was also higher for patients who presented with higher mean platelet volumes. Mortality was also higher for diabetics compared to non-diabetics (38% for diabetics and 8% for non-diabetics).
Diabetic patients presenting with MI had higher Mean Platelet Volume than non-diabetics confirming the hypothesis that platelets are large and hyperactive in diabetics. Higher mean platelet volume was associated with higher inpatient and one-month mortality indicating that it can be used as a prognostic marker in acute coronary events.

Manual winding tourbillon movement with hours, minutes, power-reserve indicator, torque indicator and function selector.
RM021 3
The RM 021 Tourbillon Aerodyne is the first watch to be created with a baseplate of titanium and honeycombed orthorhombic titanium aluminide with a carbon nanofiber core. It marks the entrance of the theme of air, space and supersonic speed to the brand's imagery and inspiration.
It was a long-standing dream held by Richard Mille to use such a material in the design of a watch, although the challenge was almost insurmountable and the potential benefits relatively small. And yet, despite the complexity of his goal, this extraordinary result was achieved in 2009.
Orthorhombic titanium aluminides are group of alloys, developed from the main class of titanium aluminides, which possess a specific crystalline molecular structure ordered on the orthorhombic phase of Ti2AlNb. Its use within a honeycombed geometrical pattern was originally the subject of research by NASA for application as a core material of supersonic aircraft wings, where resistance to extremely high temperatures and torsion is paramount.
The alloy in this honeycombed form has unparalleled stiffness, a low thermal expansion coefficient and exceptional torsion resistance.
Nid Off
The actual shape of the baseplate itself as seen from the dial side resembles the trench-like V- shaped profile of a flying wing aircraft where the wing tips are positioned higher than the central body of the aircraft itself. The winding barrel and the tourbillon are both placed in the central depth of this aerodynamic structure, balancing on light and airy bridges.
RM021 5
This manual winding tourbillon movement boasts a 70 hour power reserve, which is indicated on the power reserve barrel located between 11 and 12 o'clock. The dial also boasts hours, minutes, torque indicator and function selector.

Let's look into the mind of the Church on symbols other than candles, water, and incense:
38. If it is the custom in the local community, a pall may be placed over the coffin when it is received at the church. A reminder of the baptismal garment of the deceased, the pall is a sign of the Christian dignity of the person. The use of the pall signifies that all are equal in the eyes of God.
While holy water is designated to be used at the funeral Mass, the pall is optional. In the States, its use is nearly universal. I can't recall a funeral in which is wasn't used.
A Book of the Gospels or a Bible may be placed on the coffin as a sign that Christians live by the word of God and that fidelity to that word leads to eternal life.
This symbol is rare in my experience. Not the explanation given here has nothing to do with the deceased being a priest, deacon, lector, or teacher. If a Bible were used for this, I would expect a sizable, hardcover edition.
A cross may be placed on the coffin as a reminder that the Christian is marked by the cross in baptism and through Jesus' suffering on the cross is brought to the victory of his resurrection.
This symbol is much more common than a Bible. Catholics, even if only by "fashion statement," identify more with the cross than the Bible.
Fresh flowers, used in moderation, can enhance the setting of the funeral rites.
Note the term: moderation.
Only Christian symbols may rest or be placed near the coffin during the funeral liturgy. Any other symbols, for example, national flags, or insignia of associations, have no place in the funeral liturgy (see no. 132).
Rarely have I seen these omissions to be a serious issue for the family and mourners. But the rite seems to cover the major possible symbols. Anyone with experience with other Christian symbols?

What Is Color Tuning?
White Color Tuning
White color tuning refers to the ability of a light fixture to adjust its color temperature to the color temperature preference (2700K-5500K) of the occupant anytime after the installation.
RGB+W and Full-Color Tuning
Full-color tuning refers to the same ability but additionally to produce a color output anywhere within the visible color spectrum, and is most commonly accomplished through the mixing of several base-color LEDs, most commonly RGB (Red, Green, Blue) and RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White).

- Traffic induced roadside air pollution and control measures investigated.
- Six-year concentration data from roadside monitoring stations analyzed.
- Pedestrian-level concentration of pollutants along roadside measured.
- Nitrogen dioxide posts long-term exposure risk to roadside workers.
- Particulate matters post short-term exposure risk to roadside passengers.
Traffic related air pollution is one of major environmental issues in densely populated urban areas including Hong Kong. A series of control measures has been implemented by Hong Kong government to cut traffic related air pollutants, including retrofitting the Euro II and Euro III buses with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) devices to lower nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions. In order to reveal the real-life roadside air quality and evaluate the effectiveness of the control measures, this study first analyzed the recent six-year data regarding concentrations of pollutants typically associated with traffic recorded in two governmental roadside monitoring stations and second conducted on-site measurements of concentration of pollutants at pedestrian level near five selected roads. Given that there is a possibility of ammonia leakage as a secondary pollutant from SCR devices, a special attention was paid to the measurements of ammonia level in bus stations and along roadsides. Important influencing factors, such as traffic intensity, street configuration and season, were analyzed. Control measures implemented by the government are effective to decrease the traffic emissions. In 2014, only NO2 cannot achieve the annual air quality objective of Hong Kong. However, it is important to find that particulate matters, rather than NO2, post potentially a short-term exposure risk to passengers and pedestrians. Based on the findings of this study, specific control measures are suggested, which are intended to further improve the roadside air quality.

Property Tax Lawyers in Coldwater
Coldwater, Ohio laws require that most owners of real property pay taxes on its value. "Real property" refers to building and land, and objects (like natural resources) that are permanently affixed to the land.
Property tax in Coldwater, Ohio is derived by taking a percentage of the appraised value of the property in question. They are usually collected on an annual or monthly schedule.
Generally, property taxes are not levied by the federal government. This applies to everywhere in the U.S.. Usually, property taxes are imposed by state and local governments.
How Property Tax is Calculated in Coldwater, Ohio
Most often, property taxes in Coldwater, Ohio are simply a set percentage of the property's value. Across the country, state authorities impose a wide range of different tax rates. The highest rates in the country are in the area of 5% of the property's value, and the lowest are less than 1%.
To collect the property tax, the authorities of Coldwater, Ohio have to first determine the value of a particular piece of land.
As you probably know, value is not always objective. For instance, the owners of family heirlooms usually place far more value on them than their objective monetary value. So tax officials have to be careful to only use objective criteria in valuing property for tax purposes.
To that end, the Coldwater, Ohio employees in charge of appraising land look at objective facts to calculate value, like the size of the land and any buildings on it, the way in which the land may legally be used (zoning), and the health of the local real estate market.
How A Coldwater, Ohio Property Tax Attorney Can Help.
Coldwater, Ohio's property tax system is somewhat complicated. Legal disputes arising from property taxes can arise in a number of ways. For instance, the state might accuse a homeowner of failing to pay their property taxes, when they actually have. Conversely, a homeowner might believe that the value of their property was appraised inaccurately, resulting in a higher tax bill.
If you run into any issue with your Coldwater, Ohio property taxes, failing to handle it properly can result in anything from unnecessary inconvenience to large fines and tax penalties. However, with the help of a Coldwater, Ohio tax attorney, your chances of running into a property tax problem can be minimized.

Vischer Ferry in Saratoga County, New York — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Hamlet of Vischer Ferry
The ferry established here by Eldert Vischer in the late 18th century encouraged the growth of a settlement. Early settler Benjamin Mix began keeping a tavern by 1788 and a store by 1791. The tavern, built on the site of the present day firehouse, was replaced by a larger inn or hotel in 1797. This structure burned in 1947.
In 1802 residents built a church and gave the name Amity (meaning Friendship) to the growing hamlet. Amity grew and prospered and in 1832 a post office was established. The name of the post office, however, was Vischer's Ferry, not Amity. The post office dropped the ['s] in 1893, making it Vischer Ferry, and in 1934 the post office closed. The church has remained the Amity Reformed Church.
The Erie Canal was constructed through Vischer Ferry in 1822, by local labor. The opening of the canal between Albany and Buffalo in 1825 supported rapid growth of the communities along its path. Two dry docks, located within yards of this kiosk, employed carpenters building and repairing canal boats. These boatmen built many of the mid-19th century Greek Revival houses that line the streets of the hamlet.
Vischer Ferry became a National Historic District when it was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

You can try a string-matrix:
0,1: A
1,5: APPLE
2,5: AXELS
3,5: EAGLE
4,5: HELLO
5,5: WORLD
Let's call this a ragged index-matrix, to spare some memory. Order it on length, and then on alphabetical order. To address a character I use the notation x,y:z: x is the index, y is the length of the entry, z is the position. The length of your string is f and g is the number of entries in the dictionary.
 - Create list m, which contains potential match indexes x.
 - Iterate on z from 0 to f.
 - Is it a wildcard and not the latest character of the search string?
 - Continue loop (all match).
 - Is m empty?
 - Search through all x from 0 to g for y that matches length.!!A!!
 - Does the z character matches with search string at that z? Save x in m.
 - Is m empty? Break loop (no match).
 - Is m not empty?
 - Search through all elements of m.!!B!!
 - Does not match with search? Remove from m.
 - Is m empty? Break loop (no match).
A wildcard will always pass the "Match with search string?". And m is equally ordered as the matrix.
!!A!!: Binary search on length of the search string. O(log n)
!!B!!: Binary search on alphabetical ordering. O(log n)
The reason for using a string-matrix is that you already store the length of each string (because it makes it search faster), but it also gives you the length of each entry (assuming other constant fields), such that you can easily find the next entry in the matrix, for fast iterating. Ordering the matrix isn't a problem: since this has only be done once the dictionary updates, and not during search-time.

Try to build a Generalized Suffix Tree if the dictionary will be matched by sequence of queries. There is linear time algorithm that can be used to build such tree (Ukkonen Suffix Tree Construction).
You can easily match (it's O(k), where k is the size of the query) each query by traversing from the root node, and use the wildcard character to match any character like typical pattern finding in suffix tree.

Nightfall Summary
In 1941, John W. Campbell, Jr., editor of the premier science fiction magazine at that time, asked one of the fledgling writers he mentored an intriguing question: What would happen if people saw the stars only once every thousand years? He postulated that people would go mad and asked twenty one-year old Isaac Asimov to write a story about it. The result was "Nightfall," now one of the most famous science fiction stories of all...

"International Dark Sky Week" was created in 2003 by Jennifer Barlow with the goals of appreciating the exquisiteness of the night sky and raise understanding of how poor-quality lighting creates light pollution. Southampton Town Board has approved a resolution to take part in the international week long event which runs from Friday April, 5 to Thursday, April 11, 2013.
Taking part is easy, all you have to do is take the time to look up and gaze at the stars. Another way to participate is to learn more about reducing light pollution which helps conserve energy and increases roadway and walkway safety due to reduced glare.
Jenn Hartnagel, Senior Environmental Advocate at Group for the East End and member of the Southampton Town Dark Sky Advisory Committee stated, "The Town Board recognized the environmental importance of reducing light pollution, which can have a damaging effect on local plant and animal species that rely on a night cycle."

Callback Items and the Callback Mask
For each of its items, a list view control typically stores the label text, the image list index of the item's icons, and a set of bit flags for the item's state. You can define individual items as callback items, which are useful if your application already stores some of the information for an item.
You define an item as a callback item by specifying appropriate values for the pszText and iImage members of the LVITEM structure (see CListCtrl::GetItem). If the application maintains the item's or subitem's text, specify the LPSTR_TEXTCALLBACK value for the pszText member. If the application keeps track of the icon for the item, specify the I_IMAGECALLBACK value for the iImage member.
In addition to defining callback items, you can also modify the control's callback mask. This mask is a set of bit flags that specify the item states for which the application, rather than the control, stores the current data. The callback mask applies to all of the control's items, unlike the callback item designation, which applies to a specific item. The callback mask is zero by default, meaning that the control tracks all item states. To change this default behavior, initialize the mask to any combination of the following values:
 - LVIS_CUT The item is marked for a cut-and-paste operation.
 - LVIS_DROPHILITED The item is highlighted as a drag-and-drop target.
 - LVIS_FOCUSED The item has the focus.
 - LVIS_SELECTED The item is selected.
 - LVIS_OVERLAYMASK The application stores the image list index of the current overlay image for each item.
 - LVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK The application stores the image list index of the current state image for each item.
For further information on retrieving and setting this mask, see CListCtrl::GetCallbackMask and CListCtrl::SetCallbackMask.

Control of nanoparticles with arbitrary 2-D force fields (with W. E. Moerner, Stanford)
Under normal operation the ABEL trap provides a feedback electric field proportional to the most recently measured offset of the particle from the target location, and pointing back toward the target. However, it is simple to apply feedback using more complicated rules as well. The feedback voltage can be an arbitrary function of the present position of the particle, as well as its velocity, acceleration, or past positions. Furthermore, because we specify the force field and not the potential, there is no requirement that the force field be conservative. Thus the ABEL trap provides a platform for observing Brownian dynamics subject to complex force fields.
|We also looked at force fields corresponding to a double well potential:|
|The hopping rate between minima was as predicted by Kramers' theory. The figure shows a typical trajectory:|

Dynamic Membrane Formation in Anaerobic Dynamic Membrane Bioreactors: Role of Extracellular Polymeric Substances.
ABSTRACT: Dynamic membrane (DM) formation in dynamic membrane bioreactors plays an important role in achieving efficient solid-liquid separation. In order to study the contribution of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) to DM formation in anaerobic dynamic membrane bioreactor (AnDMBR) processes, EPS extraction from and re-addition to bulk sludge were carried out in short-term filtration tests. DM formation behaviors could be well simulated by cake filtration model, and sludge with EPS re-addition showed the highest resistance coefficient, followed by sludge after EPS extraction. The DM layers exhibited a higher resistance and a lower porosity for the sludge sample after EPS extraction and for the sludge with EPS re-addition. Particle size of sludge flocs decreased after EPS extraction, and changed little with EPS re-addition, which was confirmed by interaction energy analysis. Further investigations by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) analysis and batch tests suggested that the removal of in-situ EPS stimulated release of soluble EPS, and re-added EPS were present as soluble EPS rather than bound EPS, which thus improved the formation of DM. The present work revealed the role of EPS in anaerobic DM formation, and could facilitate the operation of AnDMBR processes.


set of space-separated tokens is a string containing zero or more words separated by one or more space characters, where words consist of any string of one or more characters, none of which are space characters.
A string containing a set of space-separated tokens may have leading or trailing space characters.
An unordered set of unique space-separated tokens is a set of space-separated tokens where none of the words are duplicated.
An ordered set of unique space-separated tokens is a set of space-separated tokens where none of the words are duplicated but where the order of the tokens is meaningful.
Sets of space-separated tokens sometimes have a defined set of allowed values. When a set of allowed values is defined, the tokens must all be from that list of allowed values; other values are non-conforming. If no such set of allowed values is provided, then all values are conforming.
2.4.7 Comma-separated tokens
Status: Last call for comments
A set of comma-separated tokens is a string containing zero or more tokens each separated from the next by a single U+002C COMMA character (,), where tokens consist of any string of zero or more characters, neither beginning nor ending with space characters, nor containing any U+002C COMMA characters (,), and optionally surrounded by space characters.
For instance, the string "Â aÂ ,b,,dÂ dÂ " consists of four tokens: "a", "b", the empty string, and "dÂ d". Leading and trailing whitespace around each token doesn't count as part of the token, and the empty string can be a token.
Sets of comma-separated tokens sometimes have further restrictions on what consists a valid token. When such restrictions are defined, the tokens must all fit within those restrictions; other values are non-conforming. If no such restrictions are specified, then all values are conforming.
2.4.8 References
Status: Last call for comments
A valid hash-name reference to an element of type type is a string consisting of a U+0023 NUMBER SIGN character (#) followed by a string which exactly matches the value of the name attribute of an element with type type in the document.
2.4.9 Media queries
Status: Last call for comments
A string is a valid media query if it matches the media_query_list production of the Media Queries specification. [MQ]
A string matches the environment of the user if it is the empty string, a string consisting of only space characters, or is a media query that matches the user's environment according to the definitions given in the Media Queries specification. [MQ]
2.5 URLs
Status: Last call for comments. ISSUE-56 (urls-webarch) blocks progress to Last Call
2.5.1 Terminology
Status: Last call for comments
A URL is a string used to identify a resource.
A URL is a valid URL if at least one of the following conditions holds:
A string is a valid non-empty URL if it is a valid URL but it is not the empty string.
A string is a valid URL potentially surrounded by spaces if, after stripping leading and trailing whitespace from it, it is a valid URL.
A string is a valid non-empty URL potentially surrounded by spaces if, after stripping leading and trailing whitespace from it, it is a valid non-empty URL.
A URL is an absolute URL if resolving it results in the same output regardless of what it is resolved relative to, and that output is not a failure.
An absolute URL is a hierarchical URL if, when resolved and then parsed, there is a character immediately after the <scheme> component and it is a U+002F SOLIDUS character (/).
An absolute URL is an authority-based URL if, when resolved and then parsed, there are two characters immediately after the <scheme> component and they are both U+002F SOLIDUS characters (//).
This specification defines the URL about:legacy-compat as a reserved, though unresolvable, about: URI, for use in DOCTYPEs in HTML documents when needed for compatibility with XML tools. [ABOUT]
This specification defines the URL about:srcdoc as a reserved, though unresolvable, about: URI, that is used as the document's address of iframe srcdoc documents. [ABOUT]
The term "URL" in this specification is used in a manner distinct from the precise technical meaning it is given in RFC 3986. Readers familiar with that RFC will find it easier to read this specification if they pretend the term "URL" as used herein is really called something else altogether. This is a willful violation of RFC 3986. [RFC3986]
2.5.2 Interfaces for URL manipulation
Status: Last call for comments
An interface that has a complement of URL decomposition IDL attributes will have seven attributes with the following definitions:
 attribute DOMString protocol;
 attribute DOMString host;
 attribute DOMString hostname;
 attribute DOMString port;
 attribute DOMString pathname;
 attribute DOMString search;
 attribute DOMString hash;
o . protocol [ = value ]
Returns the current scheme of the underlying URL.
Can be set, to change the underlying URL's scheme.
o . host [ = value ]
Returns the current host and port (if it's not the default port) in the underlying URL.
Can be set, to change the underlying URL's host and port.
The host and the port are separated by a colon. The port part, if omitted, will be assumed to be the current scheme's default port.
o . hostname [ = value ]
Returns the current host in the underlying URL.
Can be set, to change the underlying URL's host.
o . port [ = value ]
Returns the current port in the underlying URL.
Can be set, to change the underlying URL's port.
o . pathname [ = value ]
Returns the current path in the underlying URL.
Can be set, to change the underlying URL's path.
o . search [ = value ]
Returns the current query component in the underlying URL.
Can be set, to change the underlying URL's query component.
o . hash [ = value ]
Returns the current fragment identifier in the underlying URL.
Can be set, to change the underlying URL's fragment identifier.
The table below demonstrates how the getter for search results in different results depending on the exact original syntax of the URL:
Input URL search value Explanation
_URL_ empty string No <query> component in input URL.
_URL_ ? There is a <query> component, but it is empty.
_URL_ ?test The <query> component has the value "test".
_URL_ ?test The (empty) <fragment> component is not part of the <query> component.
2.6 Common DOM interfaces
Status: Last call for comments
2.6.1 Reflecting content attributes in IDL attributes
Status: Last call for comments
Some IDL attributes are defined to reflect a particular content attribute. This means that on getting, the IDL attribute returns the current value of the content attribute, and on setting, the IDL attribute changes the value of the content attribute to the given value.
2.6.2 Collections
Status: Last call for comments
The HTMLCollection, HTMLAllCollection, HTMLFormControlsCollection, HTMLOptionsCollection, and HTMLPropertiesCollection interfaces represent various lists of DOM nodes. Collectively, objects implementing these interfaces are called collections.
When a collection is created, a filter and a root are associated with the collection.
For example, when the HTMLCollection object for the document.images attribute is created, it is associated with a filter that selects only img elements, and rooted at the root of the document.
The collection then represents a live view of the subtree rooted at the collection's root, containing only nodes that match the given filter. The view is linear.
2.6.2.1 HTMLCollection
Status: Last call for comments
The HTMLCollection interface represents a generic collection of elements.
interface HTMLCollection {
 readonly attribute unsigned long length;
 caller getter object item(in unsigned long index); // only returns Element
 caller getter object namedItem(in DOMString name); // only returns Element
};
collection . length
Returns the number of elements in the collection.
element = collection . item(index)
collection[index]
collection(index)
Returns the item with index index from the collection. The items are sorted in tree order.
Returns null if index is out of range.
element = collection . namedItem(name)
collection[name]
collection(name)
Returns the first item with ID or name name from the collection.
Returns null if no element with that ID or name could be found.
Only a, applet, area, embed, form, frame, frameset, iframe, img, and object elements can have a name for the purpose of this method; their name is given by the value of their name attribute.
2.6.2.2 HTMLAllCollection
Status: Last call for comments
The HTMLAllCollection interface represents a generic collection of elements just like HTMLCollection, with the exception that its namedItem() method

Actions for Preserving the Quality of Drainage Water and its Reuse Based on Community Resident Initiatives in Rural Areas of Egypt
Due to growing water demand in Egypt, the reuse of drainage water for irrigation purposes has become an important policy issue, while the pollution of drainage water interferes with such reuse. To prevent water pollution in rural areas, the processing of household garbage and domestic wastewater is important. However, rural areas are not considered under government policies. To preserve the quality of water in drainage canals, we initiated activities conducted by local residents to prevent the dumping of garbage and to construct wastewater treatment facilities. As a result of these activities, a garbage collection system and wastewater treatment facilities were developed under an operation and management system run by the residents. Thus, utilizing the power of community residents is one solution to water quality problems in rural areas.

How to include R plots and diagrams in blog posts
R plots in Markdown
Using my R-pandoc tool, you will be able to embed nice R plots into blog posts, like the one below! It uses the fantastic pandoc document converter.
require(stats)
D = 150
T = 10
t = seq(0, 80, 0.01)
x = -D*exp(-(t/T))+D
v = (D/T)*exp(-(t/T))
plot(t, x, type="l", main="Evolution of position through time", xlab="time (s)", ylab="position (m)", xlim=c(0,80), ylim=c(0, D+10), xaxs = "i", yaxs = "i")
The above code and diagram are produced by inserting this code block inside a markdown file:
 ''' {.Rplot echo=Above}
 require(stats)
 D = 150
 T = 10
 t = seq(0, 80, 0.01)
 x = -D*exp(-(t/T))+D
 v = (D/T)*exp(-(t/T))
 plot(t, x, type="l", main="Evolution of position through time", xlab="time (s)", ylab="position (m)", xlim=c(0,80), ylim=c(0, D+10), xaxs = "i", yaxs = "i")
 '''
The attribute echo can also get the value Below to get the code displayed below the graphic. Ignore echo if you want only the graphic. Now you can compile your markdown blog post:
$ pandoc -t html demo.md --filter R-pandoc -o demo.html -s
A HTML file should be generated containing a nice graph.
Diagrams in Markdown
Using diagrams-pandoc (available soon), you can also produce nice diagrams inserted in Markdown.
The diagrams above was obtained from the following code:
 ''' {.diagram}
 example = square 1 # fc aqua 'atop' circle 1
 '''
It supports the same options than R-pandoc.
Embed in a Hakyll blog
To embed this in a Hakyll blog, you need to add R-pandoc in the dependencies of you project cabal file, and then define a special markdown compiler:
import Text.Pandoc.R
pandocCompilerR :: Compiler (Item String)
pandocCompilerR = pandocCompilerWithTransformM defaultHakyllReaderOptions defaultHakyllWriterOptions rTransformer
rTransformer :: Pandoc -> Compiler Pandoc
rTransformer pandoc = unsafeCompiler $ renderRPandoc "images" True pandoc
This compiler can be used instead the default one:
buildRmd :: Rules ()
buildRmd = do
 match "*.md" $ do
 route idRoute
 compile $ pandocCompilerR
Combining R-pandoc and diagrams-pandoc
What is really great is that transformers can be composed. To render an article containing both R plots and diagrams in command line, you can do it like that:
$ pandoc demo.md -t json | R-pandoc | diagrams-pandoc | pandoc -f json -t html
To do the same automatically with Hakyll, you can create a markdown compiler from R-pandoc and diagrams-pandoc with the famous fish >=> operator:
myPandocCompiler :: Compiler (Item String)
myPandocCompiler = pandocCompilerWithTransformM readerOptions writerOptions $ diagramsTransformer >=> rTransformer
This blog post has of course been generated with Hakyll, R-pandoc and diagrams-pandoc. Check out the source code here. If you want to learn more about pandoc filters, check here.

Introduction: The measurement of the Angle Trunk Rotation (ATR) is one of the essential assessments for the treatment of scoliosis patients and an adolescent group screening. The ATR is classically measured using a specific tool called scoliometer. In recent years many digital smartphone applications that replicate the scoliometer's measurement are available. Many scientific papers compared both tools showed excellent reliability. Some plastic supports have been developed to guaranty the stability of the smartphone but the shape of these tools is not always adequate to the size of all smartphones.
Objectives: To assess the correlation of a new, simple and very cheap tool applicable directly to any smartphone compared with the classic scoliometer. To assess the inter-rater reliability of ATR measurements, performed with both tools.
Method: Two simple tweezers have been applied to the lateral aspect of the smartphone. They allow creating symmetrical support that avoids contact between the smartphone and the spinous apophyses. No patients were involved in the study because enough scientific papers have already been published, verifying the reliability of the scoliometer and the digital applications of smartphones. The subjects involved were fellow physiotherapists who participated in a training course. 25 blind measurements were performed by two physiotherapists. Statistical analysis was performed by a third operator, using Pearson's Correlation Index and Bland-Altman plot.
Results and Discussion: The results showed excellent consistency of measurements using both tools. The Pearson Correlation Index between a standard scoliometer and the adapted scoliometer was 0,805504. The intra-operator reliability was 0,86532. Using tweezers to adapt a smartphone and making it suitable to measure the ATR of a scoliotic trunk is a procedure having two specific advantages: The tweezers are very cheap and can be applied to any type of smartphone.

AIRBORNE METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM AND DATA REDUCTION
This report describes the airborne meteorological (MET) data acquisition system developed by the FAA R and D Service for atmospheric sounding in support of research programs in aircraft noise, sonic boom, wake vortices, etc. A discussion of the systems instrumentation, design and data measured by the system is given. The airborne system is capable of measuring ambient temperature, dewpoint, turbulence dissipation rate, turbulence structure coefficients (Cv and CT), radio and barometric altitude, airspeed, and winds aloft. The flight and recording profiles are numerous and range from meteorologic contouring of large areas (up to 60 square miles) to very small areas, points and lines. Because turbulence is a difficult parameter to describe and/or measure, an extensive section is given on this subject. A recommendation section which describes system improvements for data recording, wind measurement, temperature measurement in moisture, accelerometers, and instrumentation for atmospheric pollution measurements is included.

Statue of the Virgin Mary to be moved behind a school in France
A statue of the Virgin Mary, that is in the yard of a primary school in the department of Isere, France, will now be placed behind the building so that the children will no longer see it. According to the leaders, this move is necessary to respect the laicity law of 1905.
The statue was erected in the middle of the twentieth century, before the building of the school. The then owner of the property commissioned the statue after he was convinced that he saw the virgin appear at the river of the town.
After his death, a public school was built on the property, but the statue stayed in its place. Later, in the 1990s, the school leaders decided to move the statue to a less frequented spot, next to the building. They used the laicity law of 1905 to justify their actions. According to them, the statue's presence would be justified in a private school, whereas it violates religion's liberty in a public school.
And now, thirty years later, the statue is to be transferred again, to a still less frequented place, behind the school building, so that the children cannot see it, thus respecting their liberty of conscience.

A review of work on nitrogen in West Indian soils
Work on nitrogen in West Indian soils is reviewed. It is concluded that the amount of nitrogen in the soil depends on vegetation, rainfall and soil drainage and that the supply of nitrogen available to plants frequently depends on rainfall and on the base-status of soils rather than on the total amount of present. This implies that laboratory tests for nitrogen supplying potential have little value. Fertilizer dressings should be based on soil type, climate and crop demand; vegetative crops on long cultivated, base-deficient soils are more likely to respond to fertilizer N than those on newly cultivated soils with high base status.

Compute the gradient of a symbolic function.
This function returns a vector whose components are the derivatives of the original function with respect to the arguments of the original function. Alternatively, you can specify the variables as a list.
EXAMPLES:

sage: f = x^2+y^2
sage: f.gradient()
(2*x, 2*y)
sage: g(x,y) = x^2+y^2

(x, y, a)
sage: (x*sin(x + y + 2*a)).has(y)
True
Here "x+y" is not a subexpression of "x+y+2*a" (which has the subexpressions "x", "y" and "2*a"):
sage: (x*sin(x + y + 2*a)).has(x+y)
False
sage: (x*sin(x + y + 2*a)).has(x + y + w0)
True
The following fails because "2*(x+y)" automatically gets converted to "2*x+2*y" of which "x+y" is not a subexpression:
sage: (x*sin(2*(x+y) + 2*a)).has(x+y)
False
Although x^1==x and x^0==1, neither "x" nor "1" are actually of the form "x^something":
sage: (x+1).has(x^w0)
False
Here is another possible pitfall, where the first expression matches because the term "-x" has the form "(-1)*x" in GiNaC. To check whether a polynomial contains a linear term you should use the coeff() function instead.

How to boost your exam grade
We all get a bit stressed out and nervous before important exams but according to new research, a simple bottle of water could help improve your grade
As a student, hours of revising, plenty of research and the correct exam equipment are high on the check list for important exam preparation, but it seems you could be missing one simple thing: a bottle ofwater. New research has found that bringing in refreshments to the exam hall could boost exam results by a whole grade.
CAN YOUR FOOD CHOICE HELP YOU IN EXAMS?
The study looked at hundreds of university students and compared the results of those who took in a bottle of water and those who went in empty handed. The results demonstrated those with a drink did around 5% better then those who didn't.
DID YOUR A LEVELS PREPARE YOU FOR UNIVERSITY?
While it is not completely clear why staying refreshed help in an exam helps, the study does suggest that staying well hydrated can improve the flow of brain cells and calm any pre-exam nerves, yay! It also suggested that many students can dehydrate mid-exam and good old H20 is best to combat this.
BEAT FIRST DAY NERVES
Other research from the University of East London also showed that children who drink water did better on tests of visual attention and memory.
So not only can water boost our skin it can boost exam results too! Still or sparkling anyone?

All University buildings are constantly checked to make sure they are safe for living and working, according to Robert Hudd, associate vice president for public and environmental safety.
"Our inspection and remediation protocols exemplify current best practice," Hudd notes. "The fire and building inspectors responsible for assuring the safety of our buildings are among Connecticut's most capable professionals in their respective disciplines."
When the University discovered in 2005 that several of the residence halls built with UConn 2000 authority had fire and building code discrepancies, significant investments in code enforcement and organizational changes were made to prevent a recurrence.
Although discrepancies remain, none jeopardizes the life or safety of building occupants, says Hudd.
"If any condition in any University building constitutes a serious life-safety threat, neither the University's building and fire inspectors, nor the state's building and fire inspectors, nor I would allow the building to be occupied," he says.
The University first became aware of code discrepancies four years ago when repairing gas water heaters at Hilltop Apartments. The discrepancies were reported to the trustees, state officials, and the governor. At the governor's direction, all buildings built or renovated with UConn 2000 funds were then inspected for both building and fire code discrepancies.
As part of the plan to accomplish this, the University made a significant investment to develop a strong and independent code inspection group, says Hudd. The group, based at the Depot Campus, includes UConn building code officials and fire inspectors and representatives of the state Department of Public Safety, including state building and fire code officials.
The inspectors work in concert with Department of Public
Safety officials and meet at least every two weeks with UConn's
Office of Architectural and Engineering Services to monitor progress on resolving outstanding discrepancies.
Any building discovered to have a code discrepancy that jeopardizes life-safety is remediated immediately, Hudd says. Buildings with discrepancies that must be corrected but which are not a life-safety threat are subject to corrective action plans approved by both University and state code officials. Those problems are then referred back to the architect and the construction company to fix at no cost to the University.
In many cases, Architectural and Engineering Services officials are involved in designing state-of-the-art fire alarm systems, often consulting with the Fire Department to enhance the protection those systems offer by incorporating features that complement emergency response procedures.
The alarm systems replace fire alarms that were in compliance when the buildings were originally constructed but which, while they may meet code, no longer provide the best available protection.
Most UConn residence halls are equipped with fire sprinkler systems. Mansfield and Northwood Apartments are not, but sprinklers will be installed there this summer.
All residence halls have "addressable" fire alarm systems – alarms that ring in the fire station and indicate the type of problem and where it is.
The Fire Department's response time on campus is approximately two minutes, McGovern says. The combination of sprinklers, fire alarm systems, and the department's rapid response time provide optimum safety to our community, he adds.
"The Office of the State Building Inspector and her predecessor have repeatedly assured the Construction Management Oversight Committee of the Board of Trustees that they are fully satisfied with the progress of UConn's inspection and remediation actions," Hudd says.
The Construction Management Oversight Committee reviews and approves University policies and procedures under which the UConn 2000 program operates, including the selection of design professionals and contractors, contract compliance, building and fire code compliance, deferred maintenance, project and program budgets and schedules, and change orders.

10cells on expedition
10cells - the Ballast Water (BW) Tester on cruise: bbe took part in a scientific expedition with the German research vessel "Meteor" in June 2015. The trip took 12 days, started in Cape Verde (Africa) and ended in Hamburg (Germany). One of the cruise's goals was to test different rapid testing methods for checking ballast water. The test conditions were very well prepared and 10cells performed well throughout.
The IOcells: for indicative testing of ballast water
Regulations will come into force soon: Once the BWM convention of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is ratified, ballast water may only contain less than 10 living cells per ml in the size range of 10-50µm. Algae represent the greatest amount of biomass in ballast water in this size range. Therefore, they are an ideal parameter for ballast water quality control. bbe Moldaenke is one of the leading manufacturers of algae measuring devices. With over 20 years' experience in this field, bbe has developed a highly sensitive Ballast Water Testing Device: the 10cells. The measuring principle is based on the natural fluorescence of algal cells, but we have greatly improved the sensitivity using a modified PAM method. The 10cells is able to identify down to one living cell per ml. Thus, it's 10 times more sensitive than the amount of living cells allowed in ballast water by the IMO convention. The sensitivity can be enhanced over a great range by increasing the amount of filtered water. Additionally, the 10cells is light-weight, easy handling and takes less than 1 minute per measurement.
The 10cells has complied with all requirements during the trip. It is sea suitable and a very sensitive measuring device. Using this new device, it is possible to check ballast water very easy, fast, safely, and on-site.

This Note explores the global problem of gender-based labor inequality as exemplified in China. China's historic and cultural framework, the efforts the Chinese government has made to coordinate with the global community on women's rights initiatives, and recent legislation passed at both national and local levels in China provide an interesting case study for countries facing gender inequality in the workplace. The items of legislation, though sometimes drafted using international treaties as a framework, contain unique provisions that provide protections for Chinese women that are not seen elsewhere in the world. Additionally, the Chinese government's current political goal of achieving a harmonious society signals potentially forthcoming advancements in workplace gender equality.

# Appliance Definition Language specification
ADL is an abstract parse-tree expressed in JSON. Each node in the tree has a mandatory
'operation' property. All other fields in the nodes are sub-properties.
A tree node looks like this:
{"operation": "runcmd", "chroot": true, "command": ["/bin/true"]}
We use [Jinja2]( as a preprocessor. This provides a useful macro
language, which we have built a framework around. The rest of this document concerns the
macro system and operations.
'base.spec' defines a root of an ADL parse tree, as well as some hooks for various phases
which may be reimplemented downstream by users of 'base.spec'. Almost all ADL files should
derive from 'base.spec', which is declared by doing the following:
{% extends "base.spec" %}
## Operations
There are various operations which are implemented by the interpreter. They are:
* **runcmd**: Run a command inside or outside of a chroot. Takes two parameters, **chroot**
 which is a boolean, and **command** which contains the arguments and command name.
* **render_template**: Renders a template and installs it to a location in the guest filesystem.
* **noop**: Skips this node in the parse tree.
## Phases
There are various phases which are implemented by 'base.spec'. This allows for ADL files
built ontop of the framework provided by 'base.spec' to weave only certain parse tree
nodes into the final parse tree representation based on what the end-user wants to do.
These phases are encapsulated inside '{% block %}' constructs.
The phases are:
* **bootstrap**: Commands to get an initial system installed. Things like 'debootstrap' and
 'pacstrap'. Perhaps ugly hacks involving rpm2cpio, but we will probably ship a helper script
 for that.
* **packages**: Commands to install user specified packages or otherwise optional packages that
 are not needed in the system when it's done with the **bootstrap** phase, but would be needed
 to bring the system up on a hypervisor or under bare metal.
* **configuration**: Commands to set up the configuration of the appliance based on the 'config'
* **custom**: Any special commands that the specfile may wish to provide. Also could have additional
 phases here.
* **cleanup**: Cleans up any changes done to the guest filesystem during **bootstrap**.
* **xentweaks**: Tweaks some config files for running under Xen, such as '/etc/inittab'.


P34 Detecting deficits in cai patients: clinical measures of functional performance compared to percieved measures of insability
 loading Checking for direct PDF access through Ovid
Abstract
Study Design
Cross-sectional Study.
Objectives
To measure functional performance among patients with and without unilateral Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) and compare objective outcomes to subjective reports of instability.
Background
Functional performance tests (FPTs) can be used to measure both subjective reports of instability and objective deficits in physical function among patients with CAI. However, little research has been conducted to identify FPTs that are sensitive enough to measure both subjective and objective deficits associated with CAI.
Methods
Twenty-five subjects with CAI (10 males, 15 females; 20.6±2.9 years, 168.8±8.4 cm, 66.5±12.9 kg) and 25 healthy, matched controls (10 males, 15 females; 20.0±2.5 years, 171.1±9.2 cm, 68.6±12.0 kg) completed five unilateral FPTs in random order on each limb: side hop, 6-metre crossover hop, figure-8 hop, triple crossover hop, and lateral hop. After completing a test, subjects were asked to rate their perceptions of instability for both limbs using a visual analogue scale from 0–100. Physical function limb symmetry values and perceived instability limb symmetry values were then calculated for each subject. Two separate multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) were completed to identify group differences in 1) physical function symmetry values and 2) perceived instability symmetry values.
Results
There was no significant difference between groups in physical function symmetry values for any of the five FPTs (p>0.05). However, perceived instability symmetry values for the side hop (F1,48=6.43, p=0.01), 6-metre hop (F1,48=4.36, p=0.04), figure-8 hop (F1,48=4.32, p=0.04), and the lateral hop (F1,48=3.64, p=0.04) were statistically different between groups, indicating that the CAI group experienced greater instability using the CAI limb during these tests.
Conclusion
Clinical FPTs may identify subjective reports of instability, but fail to objectively measure performance deficits compared to the contralateral healthy limb in subjects with CAI.

Dyeing to be Natural
By: Katie Schaefer, Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine
Posted: June 30, 2009, from the July 2009 issue of Cosmetics & Toiletries.
page 2 of 3
Henna, a commonly used natural dye, did not exhibit the efficacy he was after. "The dyes we selected have a performance advantage over henna. With henna, you can only get some reds and oranges. Also, the pigment coats the hair, so if the consumer decides they do not like it, it is hard to remove or color over it," said Greaves.
The main objective for Greaves was to achieve natural permanent hair colors that are stable, strong and that stick. In many cases, Greaves bred plants specifically to create strong plant dyes. "We have plants such as madder [an herbal extract] that are selectively bred for their pigments. Madder contains multiple pigments in various forms but we only wanted certain ones-and we wanted to breed down the solids and sugars that we would have to pull out. There is a lot of trial and error to get the pigment you want," conceded Greaves. This trial and error can involve plant exchange resins and solvent extraction. "We are not separating the molecules," explained Greaves. "We are just isolating them."
Most of the edible pigments chosen by Greaves are from vegetables. For example, he formulates with indigo from Indigofera tinctoria, a violet pigment from red cabbage, and anthocyanins from purple sweet potato, red radish and purple carrots. "Some of the traditional anthocyanin sources such as grape are less stable," said Greaves, who added that they also contain an overabundance of tannins and sulfur dioxides. Instead, he searched for dyes containing double bonds to make them resistant to oxidation.
Reaction for Deposition
To deposit the dye into the hair, Greaves' color kit reacts the plant-based dyes with mineral salts and the protein in hair to form a stable complex. The mineral salt is a divalent or trivalent ion that creates a bond with the protein. The dye does not open the cuticle like traditional dyes.
"Typically the isometric point of hair is around 4.5. An oxidative dye molecule is too large to get into hair. Therefore, the formulator would have to use an amine to raise the pH of hair to get the molecule [to penetrate]. This is typically done with an alkaline substance such as ammonia to open the cuticle," said Greaves.

We have numbers from 1 to 52 that are put into a 51 number array, what's the best way to find out which number is missing?
I read an answer from some guy, who said to sort the numbers first and then loop through and find the number. I thought that was inefficient way of doing that. My answer is as below:
1) - Calculate the sum of all numbers stored in the array of size 51. 2) - Subtract the sum from (52 * 53)/2 -- Formula : n (n+1)/2. The result of subtraction is the answer for this question.
Any other solutions that you know of?!?!?!

Work Area Control in Construction for Safety and Efficiency
In the dynamic world of construction, where heavy machinery, intricate tasks, and multiple teams collaborate, ensuring work area control is paramount. This critical aspect encompasses a set of practices and protocols aimed at optimizing safety, productivity, and overall project efficiency. Let's delve into why work area control is so crucial and how it can be masterfully implemented in the construction industry.
1. Safety First:
The foremost priority in any construction project is the safety of workers and everyone involved. Effective work area control minimizes potential hazards and reduces the risk of accidents. This involves clearly defining work zones, establishing safety perimeters, and implementing measures such as signage, barriers, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Regular safety briefings and ongoing training reinforce the importance of adhering to these protocols, fostering a culture of safety on the construction site.
2. Seamless Coordination:
Construction sites are bustling with activity, and numerous tasks are executed simultaneously. Effective work area control ensures that different teams and tasks are coordinated seamlessly. By delineating specific work zones, conflicts and interference between different trades or activities are minimized. This not only enhances overall efficiency but also reduces the likelihood of errors and delays caused by overlapping tasks.
3. Minimizing Disruptions:
In construction, unexpected disruptions can lead to delays and increased costs. Work area control helps in anticipating and mitigating potential disruptions. By clearly defining access points, traffic flow, and material storage areas, the risk of bottlenecks and congestion is significantly reduced. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and keeps the project on track.
4. Regulatory Compliance:
Adhering to local regulations and industry standards is non-negotiable in construction. Work area control plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with these standards. Whether it's maintaining a safe distance from neighboring properties, managing noise levels, or implementing environmental safeguards, a well-controlled work area demonstrates a commitment to regulatory compliance and responsible construction practices.
5. Technology Integration:
In the era of digital transformation, technology can enhance work area control significantly. Tools such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), drones, and real-time project management software provide valuable insights into the construction site. This data-driven approach enables better planning, monitoring, and decision-making, ultimately contributing to a more controlled and efficient work environment.
In conclusion, work area control is the core of successful construction projects. By prioritizing safety, coordinating tasks, minimizing disruptions, ensuring regulatory compliance, and integrating technology, construction professionals can masterfully navigate the complexities of their work environments. In doing so, they not only enhance the well-being of their teams but also contribute to the timely and successful completion of projects.

The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of using three-channel video to explore the impact of the computer on general practitioner (GP) consultations. A previous study had highlighted the limitations of using single-channel video: firstly, there was a lack of information about exactly how the computer was being used, and secondly difficulty in interpreting the body language of the consulting clinician. More information was needed to understand the impact of the computer on the consultation, and in this pilot three-channel video was used to overcome these constraints. Four doctors consulted, with the patient's role played by an actor with a preset script and preloaded personal and family history record programmed into the computer. The output was analysed using the Roter Interaction Analysis System (RIAS) and observational methods were used to explore the effect of computers on aspects of verbal and non-verbal behaviour and the completeness of the computer data record. Three-channel video proved to be a feasible and valuable technique for the analysis of primary care GP consultations, with advantages over single-channel video. Interesting differences in non-verbal and verbal behaviour became apparent with different types of computer use during the consultation. Implications for the three-channel video technique for training, monitoring GP competence and providing feedback are discussed.
