The study was carried out to investigate the effect of galena-based eyeliner on the cellular and functional integrity of rat liver and brain by evaluating the activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate and alanine aminotransferases (AST and ALT respectively), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration. 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00% (w/v) of the eyeliner were prepared in water. Analysis of the eyeliner was carried out to determine its elemental components. The experimental animals were grouped into four. Group 1 rats received 0.2ml of distilled water in drops to their eyes while groups 2-4 received 0.2ml of 0.50, 0.75 and1.00% (w/v) eyeliner respectively for 14 days after which venous blood were collected for the determinations of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). The results revealed a significant increase (P<0.05) in blood Pb and Cd concentrations. Also, there was a significant increase (P<0.05) in serum ALP, AST, ALT and LDH activities but a significant reduction in the liver and brain (P<0.05). The MDA concentration of the brain and liver were significantly elevated (P<0.05) in comparison to control. This pattern of results is suggestive of a possible alteration in the structural and functional capacity of the liver and brain by the eyeliner in a concentration and time dependent manner.

We would prefer to discuss some tips about timber flooring shades, before discussing Thinset For Shower Tile. Black and dark colors are a preferred selection for painters' companies, modern rooms and fashionable. Polluted classic brown shade or organic wood which can be great in case you prefer a classic look. Color range and vibrant (numerous shades-of crimson: pine and ash Jatoba or stained in the same coloring) that is ideal for commercial rooms, workplaces and other huge spots where the floor becomes a fundamental part of the design.
As the Thinset For Shower Tile photographs and virtual house coordinator will give a broad idea of what the ultimate result might be, there is no greater approach to determine the color of the floor in place of taking a look at the taste place in natural light.
Red wood shades and hot gold is likely to make your bedroom cozy. Gray flooring and bright could make your space ample. Opt for natural tinted wood flooring in matt finish when the capability to disguise scratches and a little dent are a must. Understand that the hues must match eachother and distinction. The ground can't have equivalent shades as furniture and surfaces.

Transferring Module Configuration over a Serial Port
Search KB
Categories
It can be difficult at times to get USB-to-serial adapters working properly. They are not an ideal replacement for proper DB-9 ports as found on older computers. Even modern computers that do have DB-9 ports can have issues. The issue is that USB-to-serial adapters (and most DB-9 ports on newer computers) no longer have a proper UART control chip, and instead emulate that functionality on cheaper ASIC chips. The result is that basic operations (such as monitoring the diagnostics menu or Modbus/Profibus/etc communications) work without issue, yet binary file transfers (such as downloading or uploading in Prosoft Configuration Builder) are unsuccessful. The quality of the UART emulation determines whether these file transfers will work.
Unfortunately, sometimes nothing can be done to resolve this issue short of acquiring another brand of USB-to-serial adapter or using a different computer with a DB-9 serial port. However, there are a few guidelines that can be followed to increase chances of success:
-The configuration ports are hardwired for RS-232 mode at a baud rate of 57,600. Some USB-to-serial adapters have physical switches that may need to be set to match. Otherwise you may need to change your COM port settings to match in your Windows device manager.
-Make sure the SETUP jumper on the module's board is not set. Having the SETUP jumper set will prevent any configuration downloads or uploads.
-A null modem cable (included with the Prosoft module) is required when using a USB-to-serial adapter. It is also required in conjunction with serial cables when connecting to a DB-9 port over RS-232. The null modem cable flips pins 2 & 3 as required for RS-232 operation.
-If the diagnostics menu has previously been accessed and used, it is vitally important to return to the top-level menu. This can be accomplished by hitting Escape, which will exit the diagnostics menu and reboot the module. Alternatively, you can press the 'M' key to return to previous menu several times until the top-level menu is reached. If the diagnostics menu is left at any other menu, all subsequent downloads and uploads will fail until the module is power cycled or returned to the top-level menu by the aforementioned methods.
One USB-to-serial adapter that Prosoft uses internally and has found to be very reliable for binary file transfers is the Trendnet TU-S9 (_URL_ While numerous other brands and models of adapters are reported to work properly, they have not been tested and no guarantee of success can be made.

[OPERATION]
The lunch executable is called the lunch master. The lunch-slave executable is called the lunch slave. If run as a master, it launches slaves. The slaves are responsible for launching child processes. The master launches slaves (via SSH or not) which, in turn, launch child processes.
The Lunch configuration file can be provided as a first argument to the lunch executable. If not given, the Lunch master will look for the ~/.lunchrc file. If not found, lunch will print an error and exit. The lunch config file is written in the Python programming language, and must call the add_command function.
The process ID of the master is written to a file located in /var/tmp/lunch/master*.pid, where * varies depending on the lunch config file used to configure the master.
Here is how to kill every lunch master on your system :
 for f in /var/tmp/lunch/master-*.pid; do kill -15 $(cat $f); done
[GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE]
When invoked with the --graphical option, (-g) the lunch master shows a graphical user interface displaying the state of every managed process. When this window is closed, the lunch master exits and kills all its children processes.
[EXAMPLES]
See the examples directory for examples. On a Debian or Ubuntu system, they should located in the /usr/share/doc/lunch/examples/ directory.
Here is the simplest example possible for the contents of a ~/.lunchrc file. It tells Lunch to call only one command, called "xeyes".
 add_command("xeyes")
If you add more calls to add_command in this file, it will add more processes to be launched by Lunch. The add_command is the Python function you need to call from your Lunch configuration file in order to add commands to be called by Lunch. If you add more than one command, they will be called in the order you add them in the file.
Here is a more complex example of a configuration file. It creates three processes, with dependencies between processes.
 add_command("xeyes", identifier="xeyes")
 add_command("xlogo", depends=["xeyes"])
 add_command("xclock", depends=["xeyes", "xlogo"])
The configuration file above will first start xeyes, and next xlogo, and finally xclock. If xeyes quits, all three processes will be stopped and restarted. If the xlogo process quits, the xclock will be stopped and restarted again when the xlogo is running. The "depends" keyword argument of the "add_command" function needs a list of strings as argument. Those string must match the "identifier" keyword argument of an already added command.

In the next example, we use SSH to launch processes on a remote host. Note that the lunch-slave script must be installed on each of the hosts on which to launch child processes.
 add_command("xeyes")
 add_command("xeyes", user="johndoe", host="example.org")
It will create a process tree such as this one :
lunch_______________lunch-slave____xeyes
 |____ssh____lunch-slave____xeyes
The next one is a command that is run only once.
 add_command("ls -l", identifier="listing...", respawn=False)
If, for some reason, it is easier for you to specify the host name for every command you add, even for the local host, you can call "add_local_address" with the master's IP as an argument.
 add_local_address("192.168.1.2")
 # We will not use SSH for this one,
 # since we just added its host using the
 # "add_local_address" function.
 add_command("xeyes",
 identifier="local_xeyes",
 user="johndoe", host="192.168.0.2")
 # We will use SSH for the next one,
 # since its host is not set as being the local host.
 add_command("xeyes -geometry 300x400",
 identifier="remote_xeyes",
 user="johndoe", host="example.org")
[SSH KEYS MANAGEMENT]
If using for more than one host, lunch needs a SSH server installed on each
remote computer. It is also needed that the public SSH key of your user on the
master computer must be installed on every slave computer. Here is a summary of
the steps to do to create a SSH key on your master computer, and send your
public key on each slave computer.
 $ mkdir -p ~/.ssh
 $ chmod 700 ~/.ssh
 $ ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -t rsa
Next, for each slave host, do:
 $ ssh-copy-id <username>@<host>
 $ ssh username@host 'echo Hello'
The latter command should display "Hello" when issued.
If you start lunch via SSH, and launch from there commands other hosts, you must first make sure that the ssh-agent is running and that you have unlocked your private SSH key. It can be done like this:
 $ ssh-agent bash
 $ ssh-add

Liquid fuel creation from inexhaustible sources could be utilized as a part of transportation now that there is an expanding request worldwide because of constant consumption of petroleum derivative and developing worry for natural security. The objective is to produce liquid fuel from cassava peel, determine the quantity of the liquid fuel produced from cassava peels and make necessary recommendations. The materials used for the production of the liquid fuel are Cassava peels, H2SO4 (Tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid) and Water and the cassava peels that was collected in a polythene bag from cassava market, waste dump site at Orita Challenge Ibadan, Oyo State was washed with cleaned water thoroughly and all extraneous materials were removed, samples of cassava peel were then weighed on weighing balance to determine the weight of each quantity after peeling which were chopped into smaller pieces and were transferred into pretreatment chamber where volume of tetraoxosulphate(vi) acid was added and were thoroughly mixed for about 30 minutes before heating was applied in the fermenter chamber after the slurry have been pumped into the fermenter chamber. The heating process took place for another one hour, and then the steam passing through the condenser was cooled before collection at 78oC. Afterwards, its mass and volume of the liquid fuel produced were determined. At the end of this study, the Mass of cassava peels increase ranges from 1kg to 5kg sample, volume of water ranges from 5000ml to 9000ml, amount of concentrated H2SO4 ranges from 35.00ml to 55.00ml, moisture content ranges from 24.00% to 28.00%, temperature ranges from 74.50oC to 78.50oC, which shows that increase in the mass of cassava peels, volume of water, amount of concentrated H2SO4, moisture content and temperature leads to increase in the quantity of liquid bio-fuel produced. The result above shows that the lowest volume of the liquid fuel was obtained from 0.91kg of the sample in 1hr 30 minutes while the highest volume of bio-fuel was obtained from 4.85kg of the sample, at 1hr 50 minutes and time of production leads to increase in the quantity of liquid fuel produced. It is then concluded that the more liquid bio-fuel is produced when the fermentation process of cassava peels are done using concentrated Tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid than making use of cultured living organism as enzymes to speed up the rate of chemical reaction which may occur for days before fuel can be produced and recommended use of pilot scale plant for biomass production of liquid fuel instead of using laboratory methods for bio-fuel production which takes longer time.

board or corrugated board should be used to fill out partially filled boxes to minimize jostling of plates during handling. Glass plates larger than 5 x 7 inches are ideally stored in cabinets with rigid metal dividers spaced every 1 to 1 1/2 inches.
Broken glass plates, or those with deteriorated image layers
Damaged plates may be stored in sink mats constructed to guidelines suggested by McCabe (1991) with materials that meet the ISO PAT test. Another less elegant solution is to store broken or cracked glass plates between good quality 4-ply or corrugated board inside a 4-flap enclosure. These can then be stored flat in a shallow box. Plates larger than 8 x 10 should be should be stacked only two deep due to their weight. Cracked plates should be supported with a piece of glass or lignin-free ragboard inside their envelopes or sleeves. Ideally, the storage and stabilization of damaged glass plate negatives should be done with the consultation of a conservator. A photograph conservator should perform repair of a broken plate.
Cellulose nitrate negatives
Cellulose nitrate film was manufactured between 1889 and 1951 in the United States. It was produced into the 1960s in other countries. Eastman Kodak was the first company to successfully mass-produce nitrate film, but it was also manufactured by other companies worldwide. Cellulose nitrate is flammable and should be stored, transported, and disposed of following appropriate codes and regulations. (NFPA 40) Nitrate film is inherently unstable and becomes acidic, sticky, and brittle with age. Cellulose nitrate deteriorates in stages, beginning with a breakdown of the cellulose nitrate plastic support. As nitrate deteriorates it poses a threat to other types of photographs stored in the area by emitting oxides of nitrogen, which attack the silver image, the gelatin binder, and eventually the support base of other papers and films. Nitrate materials should be identified, accurately duplicated if possible, housed in buffered paper enclosures (never plastic), and stored away from other collection materials in a well-ventilated room. (Eastman Kodak 1998.) All nitrate films should be inspected periodically for signs of deterioration. Cellulose nitrate in poor condition can auto-ignite at temperatures as low as 41C. Fire codes require that the nitrate materials be stored separately in fireproof cabinets, in vaults, or offsite. Storage at low temperature and low RH greatly slows the deterioration of nitrate film.
Cellulose acetate negatives
Starting in the 1920s cellulose nitrate base film was gradually replaced by film known as "safety" or cellulose acetate film. Cellulose acetate films (cellulose diacetate, cellulose acetate propionate, cellulose acetate butyrate, or cellulose triacetate) tend to shrink when plasticizers and solvents introduced during manufacturing evaporate out over time and cause the film base to cockle and the gelatin emulsion layer to wrinkle as it delaminates from the film base. Eventually the image is distorted by the network of wrinkles or channels formed in the emulsion layer. In addition, the film base becomes increasingly acidic and decomposes. The smell of acetic acid is a sign that the cellulose acetate film base itself is deteriorating and that damage is occurring. Triacetate film, introduced in 1948, remains in wide use today. All acetate films should be inspected periodically for signs of deterioration. Deteriorated items should be stored in buffered paper sleeves, under very stable environmental conditions. Unstable, early acetate negatives should be stored separately from prints in a wellventilated storage room. Plastic enclosures may be used for recently produced safety film negatives (acetate or polyester) that are expected to receive use. Long-term storage of acetate materials should be in buffered paper enclosures. Storage at low temperature and low RH greatly slows the deterioration of acetate film.
Chromogenic Dye Photographs
Chromogenic dyes are inherently unstable and will fade when exposed to light. They will also fade and yellow in the dark even at "normal" temperature and relative humidity levels. In general, high temperatures speed the rate of color fading. Chromogenic photographs should be stored at 2°C and 20-50% RH, which will slow color fading and image loss.
Albums, scrapbooks, and mounted photographs
Historical print mountings were often made of acidic, unstable materials. Many over-the-counter adhesives used to mount photographs into albums and scrapbooks are acidic and will eventually discolor, become brittle, and damage materials. When acidic paper mounts become brittle, the photographic image itself is at risk because of breakage. Mounted photographs that are fragile or brittle may be stabilized with a rigid support such as 4-ply matboard inside a protective enclosure or by placement into a sink mat for protection.
Albums can be wrapped in paper and placed in a document box or in a fitted protective enclosure. Albums may be given full conservation treatment, especially if they are particularly valuable; unfortunately, this is the exception rather than the rule, due to the high cost of album conservation. Heavily used albums or scrapbooks should be photographically reproduced for research use. Interleaving should be done judiciously because it adds bulk to an album and places undesirable stress on the binding. Examples where album pages may benefit from the protection provided by interleaving include the following: photographs that are highly glossy or easily abraded, or both; photographs that have fixer stains; platinum prints; and photographs with tape or adhesive applied in such a way that it may come in contact with other items in the album.
Digital Output or Hardcopy
In the past twenty years an enormous number of new processes and products have been introduced in the digital printing field. Within the larger field of digital output, ink jet, electrostatic and dye sublimation prints are becoming increasingly used to make works of art, photographs, and other documents that are collected and cared for by libraries, archives, museums, and private collectors.
These materials differ significantly from traditional photographic processes. These differences may impact storage and exhibition practice for each process. Since these materials are relatively new, we are only beginning to experience how they will age and possibly deteriorate over time. Currently storage and testing standards for these materials are being incorporated into ISO standards concerning imaging materials.
Ink Jet Prints
An ink jet printer deposits tiny ink droplets on a support of some kind, such as paper or plastic. Inks can be made with organic dyes or, increasingly, pigments. An inkjet printer can print onto a large variety of supports and may use various ink sets. These factors result in an extremely large number of printer / ink set / support combinations. Research has shown that the same ink set printed by the same printer on different supports can have dramatically different stabilities. (Wilhelm 2002) This ink / support interaction demonstrates the importance of knowing as much as possible about the specific ink set / paper combination not only when making prints but also when making acquisition, conservation and preservation decisions. Emerging concerns with ink jet prints include dark stability, light fading, sensitivity to moisture, and sensitivity to pollutants such as ozone.
As ink jet materials have become used for works of art and other objects of long-term value, the digital printing industry has made great strides in lightfastness of ink systems. However, these materials as a group should not be considered completely lightfast and caution should be used when displaying them. Moisture sensitivity is another area of concern. Many ink jet prints have been found to be sensitive to water and smudges. Image losses may result from brief exposures of water and even high levels of relatively humidity over very small amounts of time. With use of new organic dyes and pigments, water fastness has improved. The effect of pollutants, such as ozone, on ink jet prints is an area of growing concern. Testing methods for gas-fading are being developed as ISO standards.
Electrostatic technology has been used in office copiers since 1959. The addition of a laser to the system allows for printing of digital information. During the last twenty years color electrostatic systems have become common. Increasingly, computer printers and copiers using electrostatic technology are being used to produce not only textual documents but also black-and-white and color photographs as digital file output. In these systems, toner containing resin and pigment is fused to paper with heat. At this time, these materials are generally of lesser image quality than ink jet and dye sublimation prints and are used less frequently for producing works of art. However, these systems are less sensitive to water and pollutants, due to the nature of the pigments and resins that can be used. Since some of the pigments in these systems are somewhat unstable, caution should be used in exhibition. Also, many office papers are of poor quality and may discolor upon long-term exposure to light.
Dye Sublimation Prints
Dye sublimation prints use a thermal transfer process to create images using dyes that are made gaseous (a sublimation process) and then condensed onto a receiving layer. Typically the receiver is a paper with a coating that is specifically designed to receive the dyes. Thus, unlike ink jet and electrostatic prints, there are considerably fewer types of papers and colorant systems used within this group of material. As with all materials made up of organic dyes, light exposure should be minimized since organic dyes can fade under these conditions. This technology is relatively expensive compared to ink jet and electrostatic printing and is not as common as those printing methods.
The risk of damage to materials is increased when researchers

Triskelion Symbolism: Learning its Inner Ways and Importance
triskelion symbolism
Triskelion Symbolism: How is this Emblem Important to You?
To fully comprehend the triskelion symbolism, you may need first to know the underlying meaning of the triskelion itself. It is an ancient symbol of the druids, a motif, that has triple spirals that are joint together in the middle some triangle. One can say the structure of the triskelion replicates the Archimedean spirals. In some circles, it is the representation of three human legs. This symbol comes from Sicily, and it means the Isle of Man.
Also, it has other names like Tree Cassyn Vannin. However, in the ancient lands of Brittany is the triskelion. So, like most of the other essential emblems in life, this too has meaning that is very important to us. In the Celtic culture, it bears the definition of passive and active. When you closely stare at the symbol, it seems like something that is always moving. The logo signifies the active parts of our life we invest through the aid of this symbol. Also, it represents how the cosmos gives us a response to our efforts.
On the other hand, the passive part represents the faith, belief, prayer and meditation that we invest in the hope that the universe can reply to us. It is a simple concept. The triskelion only shows you that you need the help of the heavenly beings at times. When this happens, there is a harmonious balance that will help you out.
Symbolic Meaning of the three Arms of the Triskelion
Just by the first look of the triskelion, you will notice that it has three extensions at the edges with spirals. They stand for various things depending on the culture and the belief that you hold about it. Some of these include the mind, spirit, and body. On the other hand, there is the symbolism of Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. However, in some of the cultures, they believe that it represents the past, present, and future. In short, there are several symbolic meaning of the triskelion that has a lot of purpose in life.
The combination of these arms is what brings harmony to give the life of any personal meaning. To understand this, people must know that they need to be both active and passive.
Moreover, you cannot work yourself to death or worry that much. Also, you need to have faith in the things that you are doing or working towards will work out. The moment that one of these is cut off from your life, then you will notice exact problems.
In Celtic culture, they understood that these arms of the triskelion needed to go hand in hand. Moreover, they would plant, hunt and even plunder. However, they would also take time to pray to their gods for guidance in life. Also, they knew that there is the presence of the supreme beings in their life and that they are always watching.
Representation of the Three Realms by the Triskelion
Like in most culture and beliefs the triskelion also has the three worlds that make up the entire universe. There is the spirit world that carries the life of the gods and goddesses.
On the other hand, there is the celestial world where the forces of the universe reside. Lastly, there is the world that we live in. The world of living souls, plants, and animals.
This is why the number three is always a significant number in the universe because it represents that lives of all the things in the cosmos. Also, the triskelion describes the phases of the moon and how they affect the three realms of the universe. You know that there are three primary phases of the moon those are the full, half and the new moon.
Association of the Triskelion Symbolism to the Lunar
When you are looking at the association of the triskelion symbolism to the lunar, there some of the traits that you cannot miss. Some of these are intuition, spirituality, illumination, subconscious, feminine, hidden desire and mastery. These some of the meaning of this symbolism as it touches on the matter of the lunar effect. This is one of the reasons why the triskelion's appearance is a lot in the life of the Celtic people. Moreover, it seeks to teach and guide them in ways that they can live full feelings lives.
Triskelion Symbolism in the Christian Faith
Early in the 5th Century, the Christians took up the teaching of the triskelion into the faith. This took place among the British and the Irish culture when the Romans went there to spread the word of Christianity. However, when you touch on the Christian side, the three arm stands for the Christian triplicates. Later, the triskelion would appear in most of the Celtic Christian arts. Some of these were the cross and Christian manuscripts. Moreover, there are some of the triskelia that would end up on the widows of the churches especially the roman catholic ones.
triskelion symbolism
Representation of the Triskelion in the Contemporary Society
Many people and countries adopted the symbol and are using it on things like their flags and logos. For example, the United States of America's Department of Transportation is using it on their logo. On the other hand, the flag of Sicily has it to represent the Isle of Man. Also, the coat of arm of the Füssen is also having the three extensions of the Triskelion. There are many more places that it appears meaning it represents a lot to the people that are using it.
Triskelion symbolism is an okay way to learn the inner working of the universe and how it represents itself. The people that are having belief on the methods and teaching of the triskelion are most likely to have a quiet life on this earth. Moreover, there is no way that one lifestyle can entirely work without the other.

.clock.colorTo: are gone.
the line toolbar.clock.pixmap: was added. the three exchanged lines from above can be erased or you can leave them in the style, it doesn't matter they have no use in this case. actually it is logical, because the components's background is no longer rendered. so there's no need for texture options or gradient colors at all.
images for menu.title.pixmap, toolbar.pixmap, toolbar.clock.pixmap, toolbar.workspace.pixmap, toolbar.iconbar.empty.pixmap, toolbar.iconbar.focused.pixmap, toolbar.iconbar.unfocused.pixmap, window.title.focus.pixmap, window.label.focus.pixmap, window.handle.focus.pixmap, window.handle.unfocus.pixmap, window.grip.focus.pixmap and window.grip.unfocus.pixmap appear as high as defined by the corresponding *.height value. those images will be stretched horizontally to the length of the part.
the image size for a button should be a 1:1 ratio with the the height/width = *.height since the image is stretched horizontally and vertically if you define *.height bigger than the button-image is. this sounds confusing the way i explain it, but if you try it should get clear. you may play around with different image sizes but believe me, it's just a pain in the ass usually.
furthermore another important thing is: in a classic style all buttons are defined through window.button.*. in a pixmap style you CAN make a image for each button and their states (focused, unfocused, pressed). you don't have to but you can. to give an example of the buttons you can style look at this:
window.shade.pixmap: shadefcs.xpm
window.shade.unfocus.pixmap: shadeufcs.xpm
window.shade.pressed.pixmap: shadepr.xpm
window.unshade.pixmap: unshadefcs.xpm
window.unshade.unfocus.pixmap: unshadeufcs.xpm
window.unshade.pressed.pixmap: unshadepr.xpm
window.menuicon.pixmap: menuiconfcs.xpm
window.menuicon.unfocus.pixmap: menuiconufcs.xpm
window.menuicon.pressed.pixmap: menuiconpr.xpm
window.close.pixmap: closefcs.xpm
window.close.unfocus.pixmap: closeufcs.xpm
window.close.pressed.pixmap: closepr.xpm
window.iconify.pixmap: minfcs.xpm
window.iconify.unfocus.pixmap: minufcs.xpm
window.iconify.pressed.pixmap: minpr.xpm
window.maximize.pixmap: maxfcs.xpm
window.maximize.unfocus.pixmap: maxufcs.xpm
window.maximize.pressed.pixmap: maxpr.xpm
window.stick.pixmap: stickufcs.xpm
window.stick.unfocus.pixmap: stickufcs.xpm
window.stick.pressed.pixmap: stickpr.xpm
window.stuck.pixmap: stuckfcs.xpm
window.stuck.unfocus.pixmap: stuckufcs.xpm
window.stuck.pressed.pixmap: stuckufcs.xpm
the syntax differs a little bit from the other parts, but again it's really simple to understand. look at the little screenshot to get a clue what the buttons are.
window.*.pixmap are the pixmaps you see on a focused window.
window.*.unfocus.pixmap are the pixmaps you see on an unfocused window.
window.*.pressed.pixmap are the images you see when you click the button.
window.stuck.* is the activated state of the stick buttton.
some other things are different from classic styles. the bullet and the selection indicator (the little thing to show what configuration options are enabled or what style is selected) can be images. furthermore those elements can have different states:
menu.submenu.pixmap:
menu.hilite.submenu.pixmap:
menu.selected.pixmap:
menu.hilite.selected.pixmap:
menu.unselected.pixmap:
menu.hilite.unselected.pixmap:
menu.selected.pixmap and menu.unselected.pixmap are selfexplanary i think (they are the selection indicators). the menu.submenu.pixmap entry simply is the well known bullet.
a size of 16x16 for the bullets and selection images seem to be most appropriate. it depents on the fontsize and the menu's bevel how much they will be streched.
the *.hilite.* calls the images that show up when the mouse comes over the line of the menu. you don't have to set them. if nothing is defined, fluxbox will use the images that are shown when not highlighted.

World Ocean Day 2022: ALDI answers some questions from Searious Business Youth
World Oceans Day is a day to celebrate the ocean and everything the Ocean means to us and our planet. The Ocean gives us half the oxygen we breathe, regulates our climate and supports over 230,000 species of marine life. This World Ocean Day, the Searious Business Youth Advisory Board met up with representatives from some major supermarkets, including ALDI. We were asked what the ocean means to us and what work we are doing to protect it from plastic pollution.

This is an exact hardware replica of the Mutable Instruments Clouds.
From Mutable Instruments:
"Clouds is a granular audio processor with a couple of twists.
Unlike granular sample players, Clouds is focused on the realtime granularization of incoming audio signals, and the acquisition of textures from them.
Classic controls such as grain position, size, and pitch are provided. Clouds can superimpose many grains simultaneously (at least 40, depending on the CPU used by its other features) and thus create thick textures. Control over texture density, independently of grain size, is thus provided. An external trigger input allows grains to be seeded in sync with LFOs or rhythmic generators.
To provide a richer variety of timbres, Clouds allows the shape of the grain envelope to be morphed from sharp rectangular edges to a smooth bell curve. In addition, a diffusion network can further dissolve the edges of grains into blurry textures.
Finally, to cover various applications of granular synthesis without the need for additional modules, Clouds comes with four blending settings for mixing and re-routing its output signal: dry/wet balance, random panning amount, feedback amount, and reverberation amount. Voltage control over one of those four parameters is possible.
Clouds delay memory ranges from 1s to 8s depending on audio quality settings.
Other surprises have been packed in Clouds, including alternative looping delay and pitch-shift/time-stretch modes‚ and a very strange spectral buffer freeze/glitch."

NTU researchers have found a way to extract pectin from durian husks and turn it into biodegradable packaging materials.
Researchers at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have found a way to turn durian husks into biodegradable packaging materials.
Pectin is a natural part of the human diet, and can be found in fruits and vegetables. Most fruits - like pears and apples - contain large amounts of pectin.
While pectin can be used to make jam hold its structure, or in some medical adhesives, Professor William Chen, director of NTU's food science and technology programme, has found a way to extract pectin from durian husks and turn it into biodegradable packaging materials.
To do so, the husks are cut, then ground and shredded to produce a cellulose powder.
This is then used to create sheets of the biodegradable material.
The material is shiny and slightly cloudy - and can be degraded within a month if it is put in the soil. If required, the material's colouring can be changed by introducing colour into the cellulose shreds.
Prof Chen and his team are in talks with several food and beverage companies to work on commercialising the material.

Introduction to Integrals
The Definite Integral
The definite integral is a convenient notation used the represent the left-hand and right-hand approximations discussed in the previous section. f (x)dx means the area of the region bounded by f, the y -axis and the lines x = a and x = b. Writing f (x)dx is equivalent to writing
on the interval [a, b], but it is a much more compact way of doing so. Note also the similarity between the two expressions. This should serve as a clear reminder that the definite integral is just the limit of right-hand and left-hand approximations.
Unlike the indefinite integral, which represents a function, the definite integral represents a number, and is simply the signed area under the curve of f. The area is considered "signed" because according to the method of calculating the areas by subdivisions, the regions located below the x -axis will be counted as negative, and the regions above will be counted as positive. Negative regions cancel out positive regions, and the definite integral represents the total balance between the two over the given interval. For example, find
Based on the picture of the region being considered, it should be clear that the answer is zero. Here, the negative region is exactly the same size as the positive region:
Properties of the Definite Integral
The definite integral has certain properties that should be intuitive, given its definition as the signed area under the curve:
- cf (x)dx = c f (x)dx
- f (x)+g(x) dx = f (x)dx + g(x)dx
is on the interval
f (x)dx = f (x)dx + f (x)dx
This means that we can break up a graph into convenient units and find the definite integral of each section and then add the results to find the total signed area for the whole region.
The Fundamental Theorem of CalculusThe fundamental theorem of calculus, or "FTC", offers a quick and powerful method of evaluating definite integrals. It states: if F is an antiderivative of f, then
f (x)dx=F(b) - F(a)
x 2 dx = (1)3 - (0)3 =
Often, a shorthand is used that means the same as what is written above:
x 2 dx = x 3 =
One interpretation of the FTC is that the area under the graph of the derivative is equal to the total change in the original function. For example, recall that velocity is the derivative of position. So,
v(t)dt=s(b) - s(a)
This means that the change in area under the velocity curve represents the total change in position.

Today, the International Planned Parenthood Federation Africa Region (IPPFAR) joins the rest of the world in marking the International Youth Day under the theme 'Youth Engagement for Global Action'. We asked some members of the Youth Action Movement (YAM), a youth arm of IPPFAR's volunteer body to share their perspectives on youth engagement. This is a conversation with Erasmo Mbemba, YAM member from Family Planning Association of Malawi (FPAM).
In your opinion, what does meaningful youth engagement mean and why is it important?
Erasmo: Meaningful youth engagement means treating young people as colleagues and equals. To me, young people need to be part of all processes from the beginning to the end. These processes include planning, decision-making, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Young people should have the same rights as everyone else, such as the equal right to speak and contribute to all processes without being undermined. This helps to build their confidence and groom capable and experienced leaders.
How has IPPFAR and your Member Association fostered youth engagement?
Erasmo: IPPFAR and Family Planning Association of Malawi (FPAM) are doing a lot to ensure meaningful youth engagement.
They have created a platform where young people are a part of the governing bodies, Board of Trustees at regional, national and district levels. They have invested in building the capacities of young people, thus enabling them to effectively contribute to both organizations. IPPFAR and FPAM have created spaces where young people can meet and discuss issues affecting them, while at the same time engage adult mentors to help them grow as individuals and teams. I am a beneficiary of all these processes.
How can young people be more involved in decision-making processes?
Erasmo: There is need to invest in more capacity building initiatives for young people through trainings and mentorship programs, because if young people lack information and skills they may not contribute effectively even when included in all processes and spaces. Capacity building and creating opportunities for young people to take up high-level leadership roles in an organizations (NGOs), private sector, political, community and religious institutions will help to speed youth engagement.

What do I do if my yellow squash is too big?
Then you can slice them further to the desired size.
Once the seeds and skin are removed, the flesh of a large squash is especially tasty and holds up well to all cooking methods without getting mushy..
What can you do with overgrown squash?
Take a baking sheet or pan and place a layer of aluminum foil on the bottom. Spray the foil with Pam or another non-stick cooking spray. Place the squash halves on the baking sheet, side-by-side. Take a sharp knife and cut 4 or 5 slits in each squash half, long ways.
Is it OK to eat bumpy yellow squash?
Zucchini, yellow squash, and crookneck squash all have completely edible skin and seeds. … So, the bumps on the skin of your yellow squash are natural. Pick the squash when young and don't leave them to become old and 'woody'. They are ready to eat when you can still make an indent in the flesh with your nail.
What do you do with an abundance of summer squash?
So if you're looking for some creative ways to put your squash harvest to good use this summer, consider five of our favorite ideas:Fry Squash Into Fritters or Croquettes.Freeze Squash for Winter. … Slice Squash Into Noodles.Make Squash Kid-Friendly.Diversify Your Squash Recipe Repertoire.
Why are my zucchini turning yellow and rotting?
Blossom-end rot is caused by a lack of calcium in the developing fruit. In most cases, there is no need to apply calcium to the soil. Try to maintain an even moisture supply by watering once a week during dry weather. Also, do not over-fertilize plants.
What can I do with a large zucchini?
Sautéed and tossed into pasta, baked into bread (brand new recipe coming soon!), roasted, thrown into a veggie soup, and straight-up stewed are the best way to cook this brute. Leave the raw salads, pickles, fritters, and light sautés to the younger, sweeter, more delicate zucchini.
How do you freeze yellow squash without cooking it?
Allow your squash to cool; then, drop it into a freezer bag, and pop it in the freezer. If you prefer, you can also flash freeze your squash on a cookie sheet before bagging it. This will ensure that each piece freezes individually, so you can easily reach into a bag and grab just what you need for a recipe.
What is the best way to freeze yellow squash?
Drain the squash. This will remove excess moisture and prepare the squash for freezing. Put it in a zip-close freezer bag (I used pint-sized bags), and get out as much air as you can. Then stick it in the freezer for use any time of the year!
Does yellow squash need to be refrigerated?
How to store: Refrigerate yellow squash and zucchini, unwashed, in a plastic bag in the vegetable drawer. Shelf life: Summer squash will last three to five days. Best uses: You can eat summer squash grilled, roasted, steamed, or raw.
How do you know when a crookneck squash is ripe?
When ripe, a crookneck squash will be between 4 and 6 inches in length and less than 2 inches wide. A 6-inch or longer squash may still be edible but may have a tougher texture. Depending on the variety, the color of the squash is either bright or pale yellow. The skin is slightly shiny when ready to eat.
Why is my squash hard?
Overly mature yellow squash develops a hard rind and seeds, which compromises both the texture and flavor of the vegetable. Inspect the squash daily once the plant begins flowering. Yellow squash grow an inch or more per day and can reach the harvesting stage quickly.
Can you freeze raw yellow squash?
Yes, you can certainly freeze it without blanching. The purpose of blanching prior to freezing is to stop the enzymes that degrade the flavor, it's not for safety. As long as you eat the squash within 4 to 6 months, the flavor should be ok. … I blanch if I am going to store them for a long time or use it in cooking.
How big should yellow squash be before picking?
6 to 8 inchesYellow squash and zucchini are at their best when they're 6 to 8 inches long. Pick them young when you can puncture the skin with a fingernail. Plenty more will follow. They should feel firm, heavy for size, and show a bright and healthy skin as well as stem.
How can you tell if yellow squash is bad?
You'll be hard-pressed to find a squash that doesn't have a few nicks and scratches on it, so you can ignore those. However, if a squash looks soft, wet, wrinkled, or is turning brown, it's best to turn it down.
What happens if you eat bad squash?
Squash can contain a toxic compound called cucurbitacin E., which can cause cucurbit poisoning, also known as toxic squash syndrome (not to be confused with toxic shock syndrome) in people who ingest it. … Although it can be quite serious, cucurbit poisoning is also very rare.
How long does yellow squash last in the refrigerator?
about 4 to 5 daysLikewise, how long will yellow squash Keep in refrigerator? Properly stored, raw summer squash will usually keep well for about 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Why are my crookneck squash bumpy?
Reasons for Bumpy Squash Rapid growth, boring insects and excess calcium in soil may contribute to lumpy squash plants. However, the majority of these fruit deformities are the result of a mosaic virus. … Summer squash get green overgrowths on the exterior, while winter squash grow knobby protrusions.

The Mango Fruit Fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, belonging to the Family Tephritidae of the Order Diptera, is native to South-east Asia. It is a major concern because it can impair the quality of the fruit by leaving behind many small, soft, and often unmarketable fruits. In addition, the pest is also a vector for several other diseases, including mango malformation disease, mango wilt disease, and mango leaf curl disease.
To effectively manage this pest, it is important to understand its life cycle, its preferred habitats, and the best methods for controlling it. This article will provide an overview and discussion of the Mango Fruit Fly Pest in Mango crops, including its symptoms, identification techniques, and control.
Mango Fruit Fly Pest Management
Life Cycle of Mango Fruit Fly Pest in Mango Crop
The life cycle of the mango fruit fly pest has four stages. They are egg, maggot, pupa, and adult. The life cycle of the mango fruit fly pest in mango crops typically begins when adults lay their eggs just beneath the skin of mango fruits. The eggs hatch into maggots within two days. They feed on the fruits and damage their pulp and skin. The maggots then undergo three instars within two weeks before pupating.
The maggots mature in the cocoon and pupate inside the soil, and adults emerge from it in around 10-12 days in April. The female adults mate after developing completely and start laying eggs inside the fruits within eight days from emergence, and the population reaches its peak in May-July. The cycle then starts all over again.
Occurrence of Mango Fruit Fly Pest in Mango Crop
- Location of Mango Fruit Fly pest: This pest infests mango crops in India, Africa, Mexico, the United States, Brazil, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Australia, China, South-East Asia, Indonesia, and Taiwan.
- Host range: The pest is a polyphagous feeder; it primarily infests mango crops and also feeds on other crops such as banana, guava, cashew, citrus, papaya, passion fruit, peach, apricot, pear, ber, cherry, avocado, strawberry, jackfruit, melons, and coffee.
Factors Favoring the Population Increase of Mango Fruit Fly Pest in Mango Crop
- The warm climate of the tropics is ideal for the mango fruit fly to thrive. The hot and humid conditions facilitate the rapid growth of the larvae.
- Large amounts of organic matter in the soil provide an ideal breeding ground for the mango fruit fly. The decaying organic matter provides a rich source of nutrition for the larvae, allowing them to grow quickly.
- The large number of mature fruits in the crop makes it ideal for the female flies to lay their eggs in.
- Lack of predators allows the mango fruit fly to multiply and cause significant damage to the crop.
- Using chemical insecticides can kill the natural predators of the mango fruit fly, allowing the pest to thrive in the absence of its predators.
Identification of Mango Fruit Fly Pest in Mango Crop
- Eggs: The eggs are white, about 1mm in diameter, elliptical, and laid in clusters.
- Larva: The larvae are small and white, have a distinct head and thorax, and are legless.
- Adults: The adult Mango Fruit fly Pest is about 6-10 mm long and yellowish-brown. It has a distinct white spot on the thorax, four black spots on its transparent wings, and yellow legs.


This is Why Santa Feans Don't Recycle!
Santa Fe Recycling Flowchart
My mother in law lives in Sonoma County, California and they have Single-Stream Recycling carts. This means that all recyclables go into one cart, all green waste goes into another cart and all trash into a third cart. That's it. No sorting glass from everything else, no selecting only certain types of plastic, no bundling paper and corrugated cardboard. Sonoma County's waste diversion (recycling) rate is over 60%.
Take these two counties with two different recycling systems. The county with a complex recycling system (see the official brochure for how-to recycle guidelines) has a 9+% recycling rate (which is low for New Mexico). The county with single-stream recycling has 60+% recycling rate. I know there are other differences between these two counties, yet there are enough similarities for this comparison.
My next question: Why is recycling in Santa Fe so complicated?

YIELD item1, item2, count1, count2, similarity
RETURN algo.asNode(item1).name AS from, algo.asNode(item2).name AS to, similarity
ORDER BY similarity DESC
7.5.2.7. Cypher projection
If the similarity lists are very large they can take up a lot of memory. For cases where those lists contain lots of values that should be skipped, you can use the less memory-intensive approach of using Cypher statements to project the graph instead.
The Cypher loader expects to receive 3 fields:
 - item - should contain node ids, which we can return using the id function.
 - category - should contain node ids, which we can return using the id function.
 - weight - should contain a double value.
Set graph:'cypher' in the config:
WITH "MATCH (person:Person)-[likes:LIKES]->(c)
 RETURN id(person) AS item, id(c) AS category, likes.score AS weight" AS query
CALL algo.similarity.cosine(query, {

History of USDA Pecan Breeding Program
Tommy E. Thompson
The pecan research activities of the Agricultural Research Service of the USDA, formerly the Bureau of Plant Industry, in Texas date back to July 1, 1930, when an appropriation for this work was obtained through the efforts of Congressman J. P. Buchanan of Brenham.
The original headquarters for this new U.S. Pecan Research Laboratory was located on the "Little Campus" of the University of Texas in Austin. An orchard developed from native trees and owned by Dr. J. E. Pearce of the University was leased for experimentation. This orchard was poorly suited for research projects, and Dr. Traub, who was in charge of this research, soon began looking for something better. He found a desirable site along the Pecan Bayou which could be irrigated from Lake Brownwood, and was owned by the City of Brownwood. A contract was arranged with the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Brownwood by which this property became available for long-term use as a pecan experiment station. This contract was revised several times in later years.
The first buildings on the Station were a small office and laboratory, a machine shed, and a residence for the technician. They were erected in the summer of 193l. About 35 acres were planted to pecan trees in the spring of 1932 and 30 acres more in 1933. At several times, in later years, additional trees were planted.
After the orchard at Brownwood had become well established, plans were made to move the headquarters from Austin to Brownwood. At this time, another branch of the Bureau of Plant Industry wished to do work at Brownwood. To accommodate both Pecan Research and Deciduous Fruit Investigations, the acreage to be used was increased and the present office and laboratory building was put in, as well as another machine shed. Transfer of equipment and personnel from Austin to the new headquarters was in August 1938.
Although the Brownwood Station was established primarily for pecan research, there was a period of years following 1938 during which considerable work was done in Deciduous Fruit Investigation under the direction of Dr. Lee Hutchins, and following him Dr. L. C. Cochran. However, because of the Second World War, the death of the man in local charge of the work, and other reasons, that work was tapered off and finally discontinued.
It should be mentioned also that the Division of Entomology of the U.S. Department of Agriculture established a Pecan Insect Laboratory in Brownwood around 1920. Presence of this Laboratory was probably a factor in getting the Field Station to Brownwood. In 1950 this Insect Laboratory, the personnel and several buildings were moved to the Field Station. Because of the disability retirement of the man in charge, this work was discontinued in 1952.
The City of Brownwood donated 4.79 acres of land and all buildings to the USDA pecan program in 1973. This was accepted by the USDA in 1976.
The Brownwood site was designated as the permanent site for the National Clonal Germplasm Repository for Pecan, Hickories, and Chestnuts in 1978. Also at this time, 79.1 acres adjacent to the station was purchased by USDA for this permanent repository site. This repository originally consisted of pecan cultivars collected from throughout the U.S. that had been used as parents in the breeding program. Currently, this collection is the largest and most complete in the world, containing over 250 cultivars, from 25 states as well as Mexico. The repository also maintains the most complete collection of pecan nut samples in the world for use in cultivar identification. Collections from native pecan populations representing the native range of North America are also maintained and characterized.
In 1987, at the invitation of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station and Texas A&M University, an additional work-site was established at College Station on land owned by the Experiment Station. This site was needed to more adequately screen material for disease resistance and more effectively breed for the eastern U.S. pecan industry. Currently, five of the USDA breeding personnel are at this location, with six located at the Brownwood field station.

method are similar to the results from the observation-level weighted method. Both of the weighted GEE methods provide unbiased regression parameter estimates if the missingness model is specified correctly. Preisser, Lohman, and Rathouz (2002) note that the observation-level weighted GEE produces more efficient estimates than the cluster-level weighted GEE produces for incomplete longitudinal binary data.
Large weights can have impacts on the parameter estimates. Consequently, it is recommended that you check the distribution of the estimated weights. If there are large weights, you might consider trimming them by specifying the MAXWEIGHT= option in the MISSMODEL statement. Output 42.3.3 shows that the estimated weights in this example range between 1 and 2.1, so no trimming is needed.

HEINECK, Isabela; SCHENKEL, Eloir Paulo and VIDAL, Xavier. Over-the-counter drugs in Brazil. Rev Panam Salud Publica [online]. 1998, vol.3, n.6, pp. 385-391. ISSN _PHONE_. _URL_
In this study we examined the 100 over-the-counter drugs that were most widely sold in Brazil from June 1992 to June 1993. We excluded 23 food products that were classified as medicinal. The sample, which included 77 drugs, was representative of about 67% of all sales in monetary value, and 76.8% of all units sold of the different classes of over-the-counter drugs. The anatomical-therapeutic-chemical (ATC) system was used to classify the various drugs; each class of drugs was also graded according to a scale of its intrinsic value, taking into account effectiveness and risks. Most classes of drugs (91%) showed "little intrinsic value" (that is, were of questionable or no value, of relative value, or unacceptable), and 70% were fixed-dose combinations. Only 10 classes of drugs were included in the Ministry of Health's National Drug List, and four appeared in WHO's list of essential drugs. The therapeutic classes to which the drugs belonged were, in descending order of frequency, for the digestive tract, skin, genitourinary system, musculo-skeletal system, central nervous system, parasitic diseases, respiratory tract, and sensory system. The therapeutic subgroup that commanded the highest sales was that of the non-opiate analgesics and antipyretics. Our results confirm the hypothesis that over-the-counter drugs in Brazil are of poor therapeutic quality and that the use of many such drugs is a source of unnecessary expense for the population. Some of them should not be accessible to individuals who lack current knowledge of their side effects, since 25% of all cases of poisoning in the country are related to self-medication. Modifying the public's perception of the need for taking drugs to relieve their ailments is one approach that may improve their use of medications in the long term.

Abstract:
The Hybrid MIMO Phased Array Radar, or HMPAR, is a notional concept for a multisensor radar architecture that combines elements of traditional phased-array radar with the emerging technology of Multiple-Input Multiple Output MIMO radar. A HMPAR comprises a large number, MP, of TR elements, organized into M subarrays of P elements each. Within each subarray, passive element level phase shifting is used to steer transmit and receive beams in some desired fashion. Each of the M subarrays are in turn driven by independently amplified phase-coded signals. This paper derives a version of the radar ambiguity function that is appropriate for this radar architecture. The ambiguity function is a function of time delay, Doppler frequency shift, and two or more spatial variables. An illustrative example for a particular MIMO signal set is given.

text: The objective of the present study was to report the occurrence of Trypanoxyuris in owl monkeys, using data from clinical and haematological examinations, as well as clinical chemistry (blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)) of infected and uninfected animals. Twenty animals in apparently good clinical health were studied. The coproparasitological examinations showed eggs compatible with Trypanoxyuris sp. in 50% of animals. The number of red blood cells, haematocrit and haemoglobin levels were significantly higher in the males, compared to the females, irrespective of parasitism. However, comparing segmented neutrophils in infected males and females, a significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed. All blood chemistry values were considered normal for the species pattern, even though significant differences were observed for BUN and ALT in infected males. The infection by Trypanoxyuris sp. did not appear to interfere with the clinical condition of animals.

text: In this paper, a high-performance optimal fractional emotional intelligent controller for an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) in power system using Cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) is proposed. AVR is the main controller within the excitation system that preserves the terminal voltage of a synchronous generator at a specified level. The proposed control strategy is based on brain emotional learning, which is a self-tuning controller so-called brain emotional learning based intelligent controller (BELBIC) and is based on sensory inputs and emotional cues. The major contribution of the paper is that to use the merits of fractional order PID (FOPID) controllers, a FOPID controller is employed to formulate stimulant input (SI) signal. This is a distinct advantage over published papers in the literature that a PID controller used to generate SI. Furthermore, another remarkable feature of the proposed approach is that it is a model-free controller. The proposed control strategy can be a promising controller in terms of simplicity of design, ease of implementation and less time-consuming. In addition, in order to enhance the performance of the proposed controller, its parameters are tuned by COA. In order to design BELBIC controller for AVR system a multi-objective optimization problem including overshoot, settling time, rise time and steady-state error is formulated. Simulation studies confirm that the proposed controller compared to classical PID and FOPID controllers introduced in the literature shows superior performance regarding model uncertainties. Having applied the proposed controller, the rise time and settling time are improved 47% and 57%, respectively.


text: Nikhil is examining the interaction between large-scale fluctuations in buffaloberry (Shepherdia canadensis) fruit production and the nutritional, population, and movement dynamics of grizzly bears in Alberta. Buffaloberries are a critical component of the diet of bears during the late-summer period prior to hibernation, but fruit crops can vary dramatically among years and habitats. Little is known about the environmental variables that regulate buffaloberry fruiting and the effects of intraand inter-annual variation in fruit production on the health, habitat use and demography of grizzly bears. Nikhil will investigate these spatial-temporal interactions using biochemical and traditional monitoring methods, as well as shrub manipulations and exclosure experiments to examine fruiting dynamics and interspecific competition for berries. He is also interested in how these resource pulse-consumer dynamics may relate to incidences of human-bear conflict.

Rho Indi - HD216437 - HIP113137
Rho Indi is a white to yellow subgiant star that can be located in the constellation of Indus. The star can be seen with the naked eye, that is, you don't need a telescope/binoculars to see it. The star has an estimated age of 7.80 Billion of Years but could be as young as 7.00 to 8.70 according to Hipparcos.
Rho Indi is the Bayer Classification for the star. HIP113137 is the reference name for the star in the Hipparcos Star Catalogue. The Id of the star in the Henry Draper catalogue is HD216437. Rho Indi has at least 1 Extrasolar Planets believed to be in orbit around the star.
Location of Rho Indi
The location of the star in the galaxy is determined by the Right Ascension (R.A.) and Declination (Dec.), these are equivalent to the Longitude and Latitude on the Earth. The Right Ascension is how far expressed in time (hh:mm:ss) the star is along the celestial equator. If the R.A. is positive then its eastwards. The Declination is how far north or south the star is compared to the celestial equator and is expressed in degrees. For Rho Indi, the location is 22h 54m 39.56 and -70d04'26.0 .
Proper Motion of Rho Indi
All stars like planets orbit round a central spot, in the case of planets, its the central star such as the Sun. In the case of a star, its the galactic centre. The constellations that we see today will be different than they were 50,000 years ago or 50,000 years from now. Proper Motion details the movements of these stars and are measured in milliarcseconds. The star is moving 73.04 ± 0.26 miliarcseconds/year towards the north and -43.89 ± 0.36 miliarcseconds/year east if we saw them in the horizon.
Physical Properties (Colour, Temperature, Metallicity, Age, Mass, Radius) of Rho Indi
Rho Indi has a spectral type of G4IV-V. This means the star is a white to yellow subgiant star. The star is 7386.00000000 Parsecs from the Galactic Centre or terms of Light Years is 24090.4245878400000000s. The star has a B-V Colour Index of 0.66 which means the star's temperature has been calculated using information from Morgans @ Uni.edu at being 5,689 Kelvin.
Rho Indi Radius has been calculated as being 1.58 times bigger than the Sun.The Sun's radius is 695,800km, therefore the star's radius is an estimated 1,099,708.24.km. However with the 2007 release of updated Hipparcos files, the radius is now calculated at being round 1.60. The figure is derived at by using the formula from SDSS and has been known to produce widely incorrect figures. The star's solar mass is 1.00 times that of the Sun's. The Sun's Mass is 1,989,100,000,000,000,000,000 billion kg. which to calculate using this website is too large. To give idea of size, the Sun is 99.86% the mass of the solar system.
The star's metallicity is 0.250000, this value is the fractional amount of the star that is not Hydrogen (X) or Helium (Y). An older star would have a high metallicity whereas a new star would have a lower one.
The stars age according to Hipparcos data files put the star at an age of about 7.80 Billion years old but could be between 7.00 and 8.70 Billion years old. In comparison, the Sun's age is about 4.6 Billion Years Old.
Rho Indi Apparent and Absolute Magnitudes
Rho Indi has an apparent magnitude of 6.04 which is how bright we see the star from Earth. Apparent Magnitude is also known as Visual Magnitude. If you used the 1997 Parallax value, you would get an absolute magnitude of 3.92 If you used the 2007 Parallax value, you would get an absolute magnitude of 3.90. Magnitude, whether it be apparent/visual or absolute magnitude is measured by a number, the smaller the number, the brighter the Star is. Our own Sun is the brightest star and therefore has the lowest of all magnitudes, -26.74. A faint star will have a high number.
Distance to Rho Indi
Using the original Hipparcos data that was released in 1997, the parallax to the star was given as 37.71 which gave the calculated distance to Rho Indi as 86.49 light years away from Earth or 26.52 parsecs. It would take a spaceship travelling at the speed of light, 86.49 years to get there. We don't have the technology or spaceship that can carry people over that distance yet.
In 2007, Hipparcos data was revised with a new parallax of 37.39 which put Rho Indi at a distance of 87.23 light years or 26.75 parsecs. It should not be taken as though the star is moving closer or further away from us. It is purely that the distance was recalculated.
The star's Galacto-Centric Distance is 7,386.00 Parsecs or 24,090.42 Light Years. The Galacto-Centric Distance is the distance from the star to the Centre of the Galaxy which is Sagittarius A*.
Source of Information
The source of the information if it has a Hip I.D. is from Simbad, the Hipparcos data library based at the University at Strasbourg, France. Hipparcos was a E.S.A. satellite operation launched in 1989 for four years. The items in red are values that I've calculated so they could well be wrong. Information regarding Metallicity and/or Mass is from the E.U. Exoplanets. The information was obtained as of 12th Feb 2017.

Definition Virtual Circuit
Virtual Circuit is a connection oriented mean of transporting the data packets virtually by giving an impact of a physical link between the sources and destinations over the packed switched computer networks.
In Virtual Circuits, first of all a pathway is defined and a link is established between the source and required destinations before initializing the transportation call. After establishing the connection, call for sending data is being generated and all data packets are routed and dropped on their destination points on the basis of short addresses stored in those packets along with their data. Virtual Circuits also eliminate the need for storing full unique addresses in those packets as it is a connection oriented approach and it pre-locates all the destinations before initializing the call for data transfer. All the packets are delivered in proper order as path is generated on the basis of data packets placed in a queue.
