text: PowerPoint Presentation: Decision Making & Negotiating A Presentation by Rajiv Bajaj PowerPoint Presentation: Part I – Problem Solving & Decision Making PowerPoint Presentation: Problem-solving and decision-making are important skills for business and life Problem-solving often involves decision-making Decision-making is especially important for management and leadership PowerPoint Presentation: Decision-making comes more naturally to certain people These people should focus more on improving the quality of their decisions People that are less natural decision-makers are often able to make quality assessments But they need to be more decisive in acting upon the assessments made PowerPoint Presentation: Good decision-making requires a mixture of skills: Creative development & identification of options Clarity of judgment Firmness of decision; and Effective implementation The Decision-Making Process: The Decision-Making Process Define and clarify the issue – 1. Does it warrant action? If so, now? Is the matter urgent, important or both? 2. Gather all the facts and understand their causes 3. Think about or brainstorm possible options and solutions PowerPoint Presentation: 4. Consider and compare the pros and cons of each option - consult if necessary – it probably will be 5. Select the best option - avoid vagueness or 'foot in both camps' compromise 6. Explain your decision to those involved and affected, and follow up to ensure proper & effective implementation PowerPoint Presentation: Decision-making maxims will help to reinforce the above decision-making process whether related to problem-solving or not For example: "We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run down." - Aneurin Bevan PowerPoint Presentation: "In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing." - Attributed to Theodore Roosevelt Just Do It!: Just Do It! JDI - Just Do It! - The decision-maker's motto There are usually several right answers when you are faced with a complex decision When you've found the best solution you can find, get on with it, make it work, and it most probably will! The Pros & Cons Decision-Making Method: The Pros & Cons Decision-Making Method Pro means 'for', and con means 'against' In other words, advantages and disadvantages Method also applies to all sorts of problem-solving where issues & implications need to be understood and a decision has to be made PowerPoint Presentation: Some decisions are a simple matter of whether to make a change or not, such as moving, taking a new job, or buying something, selling something, replacing something, etc Others involve numerous options, and are concerned more with how to do something involving a number of choices Use the brainstorming process to identify and develop options for decision-making and problem-solving PowerPoint Presentation: Let's see how to go about this : 1. First you will need a separate sheet for each identified option 2. On each sheet write clearly the option concerned, and then beneath it the headings 'pros' and 'cons' (or 'advantages' and disadvantages', or simply 'for' and 'against'). Many decisions simply involve the choice of whether to go ahead or not, to change or not; in these cases you need only one sheet PowerPoint Presentation: 3. Then write down as many effects and implications of the particular option that you (and others if appropriate) can think of, placing each in the relevant column 4. If helpful 'weigh' each factor, by giving it a score out of three or five points (e.g., 5 being extremely significant, and 1 being of minor significance) PowerPoint Presentation: 5. When you have listed all the points you can think of for the option concerned compare the number or total score of the items / effects / factors between the two columns 6. This will provide a reflection and indication as to the overall attractiveness and benefit of the option concerned. PowerPoint Presentation: If you have scored each item you will actually be able to arrive at a total score, being the difference between the pros and cons column totals The bigger the difference between the total pros and total cons then the more attractive the option is PowerPoint Presentation: 7. If you have a number of options and have complete a pros and cons sheet for each option, compare the attractiveness - points difference between pros and cons – for each option The biggest positive difference between pros and cons is the most attractive option PowerPoint Presentation: 8. N.B. - If you don't like the answer that the decision-making sheet (s) reflect back to you, it means you haven't included all the cons - especially the emotional ones, or you haven't scored the factors consistently, so re-visit the sheet (s) concerned PowerPoint Presentation: You will find that writing things down in this way will help you to – See things more clearly ; AND Become more objective and detached This will help you to make clearer decisions Part II – Win-Win Negotiations : Part II – Win-Win Negotiations Finding A Fair Compromise What is Negotiation?: What is Negotiation? Negotiation can be defined as a process of bargaining by which agreement is reached between two or more parties We all negotiate every day in a wide range of work and social situations Importance Of Negotiation Skills: Importance Of Negotiation Skills Impact of good or bad negotiating can directly affect revenues / profits Negotiation skills help you to resolve situations where what you want conflicts with what someone else wants PowerPoint Presentation: Negotiation aims to explore the situation to find a solution that is acceptable to both parties Styles of negotiation depend on circumstances The Possible Outcomes: The Possible Outcomes 4 potential outcomes from negotiation – I Win, You Lose I Win, You Win I Lose, You Lose I Lose, You Win Styles of Negotiation: Styles of Negotiation Adversarial Vs. Cooperative Bargaining Style of negotiation influenced by the style of the other party If both are adversarial, there will be little trust between the two parties PowerPoint Presentation: If one decides to be co-operative, there is a danger the other side will use this apparent sign of weakness to their advantage Co-operative bargaining has the advantage of being a more efficient style of negotiation However certain rules have to be followed by both parties, for it to work Features – Adversarial Bargaining: Features – Adversarial Bargaining Each side takes up a position and defends it Opening bids set at unrealistic levels; too high or too low, in order to give room for maneuvers Movement is small or non-existent until later on in the negotiation PowerPoint Presentation: Tactics are used to gain short term advantage Too much emphasis placed on trust – "This really is my best price!" Information is withheld, or misrepresented Outcome is often win-lose, or lose-lose PowerPoint Presentation: The more aggressive negotiator usually does best This style does not encourage long term, mutually beneficial relationships Neither side asks enough questions, or explores alternatives in sufficient depth Features – Co-operative Bargaining: Features – Co-operative Bargaining Each side recognises that other has needs and feelings and accepts implicit rules Objective measures are taken of what is fair and reasonable Trust is not an issue as either side is willing to share information PowerPoint Presentation: This style is friendly, but not soft. There is willingness to trade concessions There is a clear, communicable strategy Bad behaviour is frowned upon Involves creative problem solving Encourages long term, mutually profitable relationships PowerPoint Presentation: Each side asks more questions and explores alternatives, rather than taking up fixed positions The usual outcome is win-win "The objective of negotiation should not be a dead opponent. " - Napoleon Circumstances & Negotiation: Circumstances & Negotiation Where you do not expect to deal with people ever again; And You do not need their goodwill - It may be appropriate to 'play hardball' - seeking to win a negotiation while the other person loses out However… PowerPoint Presentation: Where there is a great deal at stake in a negotiation - For example, in large sales negotiations, it may be appropriate to prepare in detail ; And Use certain amount of subtle gamesmanship to gain advantage A Word of Caution!: A Word of Caution! Both approaches usually wrong for resolving disputes with people you have an ongoing relationship with : If one person plays hardball, then this disadvantages the other person – this may, quite fairly, lead to reprisal later PowerPoint Presentation: Similarly, using tricks & manipulation during negotiation can severely undermine trust and damage teamwork While a manipulative person may not get caught out if negotiation is infrequent, this is not the case when people work together on a frequent basis Honesty & Openness are the best policies in this case Preparing For Successful Negotiation: Preparing For Successful Negotiation Depending on scale of disagreement, a level of preparation may be appropriate for conducting a successful negotiation For small / minor disagreements, excessive preparation can be counter-productive : it takes time that is better used elsewhere PowerPoint Presentation: May also be seen as manipulative because just as it strengthens your position, it can weaken the other person's To resolve a major disagreement, it may be worth preparing thoroughly Think through the following points before you start negotiating: PowerPoint Presentation: Goals: What do you want to get out of the negotiation? What do you expect the other person to want? PowerPoint Presentation: Trades: What do you and the other person have that you can trade? What do you each have that the other might want? What might you each be prepared to give away? PowerPoint Presentation: Cost and Value It is possible during negotiations to concede issues that have little cost to you but have great value to the other side Best type of concession to make Avoid, however, conceding on issues that have a high cost to you irrespective of their value to the other side PowerPoint Presentation: Alternatives: If you don't reach agreement, what alternatives do you or the other person have? Are these good or bad? How much does it

Analyze Formal Requirements of an Electric Vehicle Charger Locking Mechanism
This example uses a Requirements Table block to define a set of formal requirements used by a model of an electric vehicle charger locking system. After creating formal requirements for the locking system, you analyze the requirements for issues that can prevent the requirements from being complete and consistent. Once you identify the issues, you adjust the requirements.
When charging an electric vehicle, the charging port of the vehicle can be exposed to high voltages, which can be dangerous to consumers without proper safeguards. Electric chargers and vehicles deploy locking mechanisms to prevent customers from being exposed to these voltages. To ensure the locking mechanism activates and deactivates without creating hazards, the charging station provides signals to the vehicle before, during, and after charging. The vehicle uses those signals to determine when the charging cord can be unlocked and is safe to handle.
View the Formal Requirements
Open the model,
This model adapts the signals used by the charging station from the standard SAE J1772. To capture the signals, the Requirements Table block uses six input ports that are associated with input data of the same name. See Define Data in Requirements Table Blocks.
The input data are:
ChargeStatus: The charging status of the vehicle. The status indicates that the vehicle is not charging (
NotCharging), charging (
ChargeStart), shutting down (
NrmlShutDown), or performing an emergency shut down (
EvseType: If the vehicle is compatible with the charging station or not. The vehicle can be
Incompatible, or undecided (
PilotStatus: The pilot status of the charging station. The pilot status indicates if the charging station is on standby (
A), if the charging station detects the vehicle (
B), if the charging station detects the vehicle and that the vehicle is ready to charge (
C), if the charging station detects the vehicle and that the vehicle is ready for charging in a ventilated area (
D), or if there is an error (
Deach have two substates. Substate
1indicates that the charging station is not ready to charge, and substate
2indicates that the charging station is ready to charge.
SessionStopResMsg: Whether the termination of the charging session has been acknowledged by the charging station (
Received) or not (
Vinlet: The voltage of the charging port measured by the vehicle.
LockCommand: The status of the lock. The lock can either be
The block uses the value of the input data to set the Type property of the data to an enumerated value specified in a MATLAB® program file. For example, the
ChrgStat.m file contains the available statuses for the
Open the block to view the requirements. The Requirements tab lists three simple requirements:
The electric vehicle shall lock the cord in place if the electric vehicle supply equipment is compatible.
The electric vehicle shall unlock the cord if the acknowledge terminate charging session signal is received and the vehicle measures an input voltage that is less than
60V during normal shutdown procedures.
The electric vehicle shall unlock the cord if the pilot status is not ready and the vehicle measures an input voltage that is less than
60V during an emergency shutdown.
Each requirement specifies the checked conditions the Precondition column. If the requirement precondition is satisfied, the block then verifies that the appropriate locking status occurs in the postconditions, specified in the Postcondition column. For example, in the first requirement, the specified precondition checks if the vehicle type is compatible. If true, the block checks if the cord is locked, specified in the postcondition.
Analyze the Requirements for Issues
After creating a requirement set in the block, confirm that the requirements uniquely define the data captured, stored, and generated by the block. In this example, you use Simulink® Design Verifier™ to detect issues in your requirement set for you. These issues are adapted from the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148 standard. In this example, Simulink Design Verifier detects two kinds of issues:
Inconsistency Issues: The block detects a scenario where the data can equal more than one value during simulation.
Incompleteness Issues: The block detects a scenario where the data is not defined during simulation.
To analyze the table, in the Table tab, in the Analyze section, click Analyze Table.
Update the Requirements
To resolve the issues, you need to update the requirements. For example, to alleviate the inconsistency issue, update the precondition in the first requirement so that the charge status must be charging and the charger must be compatible with the vehicle.
After updating the precondition, run the analysis again to confirm that you have fixed the inconsistency issue.
This update does not resolve the incompleteness issues. To do that, the requirements must specify values for the data defined in the block throughout the simulation. Iterate through updating and analyzing the requirements to resolve these remaining issues.
Open the model
CordLockReqTable_v2 and open the Requirements Table block to see an example of a complete requirement set.
The table includes additional input data,
ChargePlug, that specifies if the cord is plugged into the vehicle (
Plugged) or not (
NotPlugged). The requirement set also includes five additional requirements. To improve readability, the requirements have been rewritten to use additional column headers.
When you design requirements, you must consider the physical limitations of your system. For example, if you develop a requirement that specifies a diameter, you must ensure the diameter cannot be negative. To account for the physical limitations of the system, specify assumptions in the Assumptions tab. See Add Assumptions to Requirements. In this example, the Requirements Table block includes three assumptions.
If the pilot status is on standby (
A), then the car is not charging.
If the vehicle is not compatible with the charger, then the vehicle is not charging.
If the charger is not plugged in, then the vehicle is not charging.
To view the assumptions, click the Assumptions tab.
If you run the analysis on this requirement set, Simulink Design Verifier does not detect issues.

Grow 2.2 Manual
Grow 2.2 is based upon the original Grow 1.0 suite of programs developed by Meredith Jordan, Keiran Thompson, Ryan Bettens, Alexander Duncan and Michael Collins. A number of significant changes have been made to the original code. The major new features include: - addition of a Quantum Diffusion Monte Carlo (QDMC) module for calculation of the lowest rovibrational eigenstate of a system - python scripts to control the growing process, which replace the shell scripts in the original version. This makes the Grow package more robust and gives it greater portability. - the ability to use the quantum chemistry package Aces2 as a source of ab initio data, in addition to Gaussian. (Note: there is a known bug in the Aces code that calculates numerical second derivatives from first derivatives) - the ability to interpolate potential energy surfaces from density functional data, using any exchange or correlation functional implemented in Gaussian03 - rearranged (modular) input files - a second collection of python scripts to control the growing process, designed to function on machines with queuing systems (NQS, PBS). These additions and improvements have been implemented by Deborah Crittenden and Keiran Thompson. As Grow 2.2 is significantly different to Grow 1.0, this user manual is written as stand-alone documentation, and some information from the Grow 1.0 manual may be reproduced here.

Open Source Java Reporting with JasperReports and iReport : Page 5
Using JasperReports from Java
So now you have a working JasperReports report. How do you use it from within your Java application?
The JasperDesign object, in the net.sf.jasperreports.engine package, is the Java representation of the XML report you designed using iReport. You load the XML report and compile it into a JasperReport object, which does the actual report generation:
JasperDesign jasperDesign = JasperManager.loadXmlDesign("MyReport.xml"); JasperReport jasperReport = JasperManager.compileReport(jasperDesign);
In a real application, you shouldn't do this every time you generate a report, as it is time consuming and easily cached.
Once you have a compiled report, you can feed it data and use it to generate reports.
When you generate the report, you can provide runtime parameters via a Map. This is useful for providing information that is unknown at design time, such as a user-customized report title. From within the JasperReport report, you declare the parameter in the "View/Report Parameters" window and then use the parameter variable just like the other fields and variables you saw previously:
// Run-time report parameters Map parameters = new HashMap(); parameters.put("title", "A user-customized title");
Of course, you also need to provide a valid JDBC connection to the target database:
// Fetch your database connection Connection conn = DBConnectionFactory.getConnection();
Finally, you use the JasperFillManager class to combine the compiled report model with the incoming data to generate a print-ready report:
JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, conn);
Now use the JasperPrintManager to generate the report in whatever format you want. JasperReport supports a lot of formats: PDF, Excel, XML, HTML, CVS, etc. But for now, just write the report to a PDF file:
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, "report.pdf");
There are lots of other possibilities. Check out the JasperReports APIs for more details.
Other Reporting Tools
A number of other reporting tools are available, so how does JasperReports/iReport stack up to the others? Here are a couple of the main actors in the field:
 - Eclipse BIRT is a new, up-and-coming charting and reporting tool with a nice Eclipse plugin. Although a relative newcomer, it has some powerful reporting and charting functionalities. On the other hand, it is less mature than JasperReports, and it seems less well integrated with Java It also relies on internal JavaScript scripting for report enhancing. Integration with datasources other than a plain JDBC connection seems to be complicated as well. Nevertheless, it is worth a look.
 - Business Objects/Crystal Reports is a powerful commercial BI/reporting solution with a slick graphical designer. A full-fledged Crystal Reports Server XI Edition license (20 users) costs around $7,500. The Crystal Reports IX Developer Edition, a lighter version more oriented towards Web application development, is available for around $595 per developer. Even in the latest version, Java integration seems to be limited however.
A Dynamic Duo
JasperReports is powerful and flexible reporting tool, which is easy to integrate into a Java environment. iReport takes a lot of the hard work out of designing reports with JasperReports—without comprising its power. Together, they form an impressive pair. Try it out!

Total Character of a group $G$ with $(G,Z(G))$ as a generalized Camina pair
We investigate whether the total character of a finite group $G$ is a polynomial in a suitable irreducible character of $G$. When $(G,Z(G))$ is a generalized Camina pair, we show that the total character is a polynomial in a faithful irreducible character of $G$ if and only if $Z(G)$ is cyclic.

Character Degree Graphs of Solvable Groups of Fitting Height $2$
Given a finite group $G$, we attach to the character degrees of $G$ a graph whose vertex set is the set of primes dividing the degrees of irreducible characters of $G$, and with an edge between $p$ and $q$ if $pq$ divides the degree of some irreducible character of $G$. In this paper, we describe which graphs occur when $G$ is a solvable group of Fitting height $2$.

Degree Homogeneous Subgroups
Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ be a subgroup. We say that $H$ is \emph{degree homogeneous }if, for each $\chi\in \Irr(G)$, all the irreducible constituents of the restriction $\chi_{H}$ have the same degree. Subgroups which are either normal or abelian are obvious examples of degree homogeneous subgroups. Following a question by E.~M. Zhmud', we investigate general properties of such subgroups. It appears unlikely that degree homogeneous subgroups can be characterized entirely by abstract group properties, but we provide mixed criteria (involving both group structure and character properties) which are both necessary and sufficient. For example, $H$ is degree homogeneous in $G$ if and only if the derived subgroup $H^{\prime}$ is normal in $G$ and, for every pair $\alpha,\beta$ of irreducible $G$-conjugate characters of $H^{\prime}$, all irreducible constituents of $\alpha^{H}$ and $\beta^{H}$ have the same degree.

|House of Black|
|Notable family members|
- "Toujours pur."
- —The family motto, translating to "Always Pure"[src]
The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black was one of the largest, oldest and wealthiest pure-blooded wizarding families in Britain. Many wizarding families in Britain are distantly related to the House of Black. Like the Malfoy and Lestrange families, the House of Black is synonymous with elevated status and wealth. The Black family tree is displayed in the drawing room of the family home at 12 Grimmauld Place in London, England on an intricate tapestry, as an ornate mural. It starts in the Middle Ages and shows the dominant line of the family up to the present day.
By the late twentieth century, the House of Black had become extinct in the male line with the deaths of Sirius and Regulus Black, neither of whom had children. The female line remained extant through the Malfoy family and Teddy Lupin, though the latter descends from a Black who was disowned. It has not been confirmed that the Potter family is also distantly related to the Black family through Dorea Black; they are, however, related through Ginny Weasley, who married Harry Potter and had three children.
The Black family traces its origin back to the Middle Ages. They claim to have entirely magical ancestry, but as Sirius Black informed his godson Harry Potter, no true pure-blood families existed by the twentieth century. The pure-blood families like the Blacks simply removed Muggles and Squibs from their family trees. The Blacks place a great importance on blood purity, considering themselves akin to royalty in the wizarding world and disdaining Muggles, Squibs, Blood traitors and Muggle-borns. The family motto, which can be found on the family crest, is Toujours Pur, which means "Always Pure" in French. Many members took this phrase very seriously.
Because of their views, a large number of the Black family members practise the Dark Arts and supported Lord Voldemort during the First and Second Wizarding Wars. A few Blacks even became Death Eaters, while many others never took the Dark Mark but believed in the "purification" of the wizarding world nevertheless. A few members of the family, however, disagreed with the traditional views of their family; Sirius Black, for example, joined the Order of the Phoenix, as did Nymphadora Tonks, a distant member of the Black family. Both were murdered by Bellatrix Lestrange née Black, Sirius' cousin and Tonks' aunt, in battle. Supportive of Voldemort at first, the family loyalists who did not become Death Eaters got cold feet when they saw the levels he would go to achieve his goals.
With Sirius' death, the male line of the Black family ended; the female line continues through the descendants of his cousins Andromeda Tonks and Narcissa Malfoy, his second cousin, once removed, Arthur Weasley, the Burke family, the Crouches, the Longbottoms and the Potter family.
Harry is shocked to find Sirius is related to the Malfoys, but Sirius explains all pure blood families are interlinked somehow. Sirius is, in fact, related to Molly and Arthur Weasley.
Legend: Names in grey boxes were removed from the tree by Walburga Black. The published tree does not contain descendants of side branches of the family.
The original tree described from Grimmauld Place was subject to some magical interference. According to Sirius Black, his mother Walburga blasted names of "blood traitors" off the tapestry without hesitation. The Black family motto of Toujours Pur ("always pure") was followed assiduously by family members; any who disagreed with the notion of blood purity or married Muggles or people of different blood statuses were disowned and blasted off the family tree, as were any Squibs. Thus, family members that remain on the tapestry can be assumed to have married fellow pure-bloods. Some even married their own cousins; Walburga and Orion Black, for instance, were second cousins. Generations of this practice resulted in inbreeding, which in turn has caused problems such as low fertility and mental instability.
The known disowned members are Eduardus Limette Black (for an unknown reason), Isla Black, for marrying Muggle or Muggle-born Bob Hitchens, Phineas Black, for supporting Muggle rights, Marius Black, for being a Squib, Cedrella Black, for marrying blood traitor Septimus Weasley, Alphard Black, for giving gold to his runaway nephew Sirius, Sirius Black III, for running away from home, and Andromeda Black, for marrying Muggle-born Ted Tonks.
|Eduardus Limette Black||Unknown|
|Isla Black||Marriage to Muggle/Muggle-born Bob Hitchens|
|Phineas Black||Muggle rights supporter|
|Cedrella Black||Marriage to Blood traitor Septimus Weasley|
|Andromeda Black||Marriage to Muggle-born Ted Tonks|
|Sirius Black||Blood traitor|
|Alphard Black||Supported his disowned nephew|
Etymology of Given NamesEdit
Most Black family members are named after stars or constellations. For example, the star Sirius is in the constellation Canis Major (the Dog). What's more, Sirius Black, an Animagus, could morph at will into a black dog named Padfoot. Another example is Bellatrix, the third brightest star in the constellation Orion, which is also the name of Sirius's father and Bellatrix's uncle. Cygnus, Andromeda, and Cassiopeia are also constellations, and Regulus, Alphard and Arcturus are stars as well.
Some members of the extended family have also chosen to follow this naming pattern. For example, Narcissa Malfoy née Black named her son Draco, which is the name of a constellation. In turn, he named his son Scorpius, which is one of the constellations of the zodiac, known as Scorpio in Western astrology. Narcissa herself, however, was not named in keeping with this convention. She was instead named for a plant, the flower Narcissus. Lycoris Black is also named for a plant.
However if a member of the family is disowned and blasted off the Black family tree then the name is never used again in the following generations.
|Family Name||Astronomical Origin|
|Alphard Black||Alphard is the brightest star in the constellation Hydra.|
|Andromeda Tonks née Black||Andromeda is a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere and the name of a galaxy.|
|Arcturus Black I, II, III||Arcturus is the brightest star in the constellation Boötes the Herdsman.|
|Bellatrix Lestrange née Black||Bellatrix is a star in the constellation Orion.|
|Cassiopeia Black||Cassiopeia is a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere.|
|Cygnus Black I, II, III||Cygnus is a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere, also known as the Northern Cross.|
|Draco Malfoy||Draco is a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere.|
|Orion Black||Orion is a well-known constellation in the Northern Hemisphere.|
|Phoebe Black||Phoebe is perhaps associated with another name of the sun god Apollo, Phoebus.|
|Pollux Black||Pollux is a star in the constellation Gemini.|
|Regulus Black I, II||Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo.|
|Scorpius Malfoy||Scorpius is a constellation in the Southern Hemisphere.|
|Sirius Black I, II, III||Sirius is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major.|

National Microbial Pathogen Data Resource Center
NMPDR is a Bioinformatics Resource Center that provides the advanced bioinformatics environment needed to identify genetic polymorphisms correlated with pathogenicity, drug resistance, morbidity, and infectivity. NMPDR is funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) to support research in biodefense, emerging infectious diseases, and re-emerging pathogens. NMPDR is both a central repository for a wide variety of scientific data on these pathogenic microorganisms and a platform for software tools that support investigator-driven data analysis, such as the identification of potential targets for the development of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics. NMPDR's goal is to support existing and newly developed techniques for comparative analysis to obtain a deeper understanding of the fundamental biology of a specific set of pathogenic organisms, and to promote efforts to counter the threats posed by these pathogens. The resource will integrate hundreds (and, eventually, thousands) of prokaryotic genomes with existing and newly generated functional data to support characterization and analysis of Category B food and water-borne diarrheagenic bacteria.

Rainwater Harvesting Supply Calculator
Rainwater harvesting calculators are important for several reasons. They help to better balance the supply and demand so that a system can be sized correctly and so the user has adequate storage to get through long periods without rainfall. There are countless rainwater harvesting calculators available on the internet. The calculator included below was developed by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension service. It allows the user to determine stored water volume over the course of three years and whether supplemental water is needed.
The inputs include:
- Catchment area (ft2)
- Collection efficiency (%)
- Initial tank volume (gal)
- Tank size (gal)
- Plant water use coeff.
- Irrigated area (ft2)
- Monthly indoor demand (gal)
- Average monthly rainfall (in.)
- Average PET (in.)
- AC condensate (gal)
There is also an area to input a "yearly percent average rainfall." This accounts for years of drought when the annual rainfall is lower than average. It can also be used as a safety factor.
The output is shown in both graph and table form. The graph shows storage volume as a green line and supplemental water as a purple line. When the supplemental line is above the the tank volume water line, more water is needed.
This Excel spreadsheet is for educational purposes.
Hazen Williams Pressure Loss Calculator
When working with piping in a rainwater harvesting system, friction can cause water to back up, especially in a wet-line conveyance system. To determine how much water will back up, the Hazen Williams pressure loss formula can be used to determine pressure loss, both in feet and psi. The calculator below was developed by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and can be used for educational purposes.
The inputs include:

FILE – Nationwide Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat
CAIRO – 18 October 2020: The Nationwide Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat launched the actions of the coaching course, which is able to final for six days, to lift the effectivity of the museum's staff.
Director of Worldwide Relations on the Museum Fayrouz Fikry defined that throughout the framework of joint cooperation with worldwide entities, contracts have been signed with the UNESCO and the College of Alaska, which has a large expertise on this discipline, to present specialised coaching programs in administrative expertise to 90 workers members within the museum.
Fikry added that by way of the coaching course, the effectivity and administrative expertise of the trainees are set to be raised, particularly resolution making expertise, group work, and learn how to set objectives and obtain them.
For his half, Head of the Nationwide Museum of Egyptian Civilization Ahmed Ghoneim mentioned that the museum performs an important position in elevating group consciousness and elevating the worth of the cultural degree of the employees. That is along with attaining a sophisticated civilized imaginative and prescient, and exploiting the workers' capabilities for the final good thing about the museum and the service of leisure and cultural tourism.
It's noteworthy that the Nationwide Museum of Egyptian Civilization is making ready to obtain the royal mummies from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir in a grandiose procession quickly, within the presence of numerous native and worldwide media retailers.
The variety of mummies and coffins to be transported is 22 royal mummies and 17 royal coffins, relationship again to the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th Dynasties. Some 18 of the mummies are for kings, whereas four are for queens.
Among the many mummies transferred are mummies of King Ramses II; King Seqenenre Tao; King Tuthmosis III; King Seti I; Queen Hatshepsut; Queen Meritamen, the spouse of King Amenhotep I; and Queen Ahmose Nefertari, the spouse of King Ahmose I.

now recommends _PHONE_ IU daily for adults under the age of 50 years and _PHONE_ IU daily for adults over the age of 50 years.
The Canadian Cancer Society recommends 1000 IU/day during the fall and winter for adults in Canada. For those with a higher risk of having low vitamin D levels, this dose should be taken year round. This includes people who have dark skin, usually wear clothing that covers most of their skin, and people who are older or who don't go outside often.
Many experts now recommend using vitamin D supplements containing cholecalciferol in order to meet these intake levels. This seems to be more potent than another form of vitamin D called ergocalciferol.

What is 4 feed twin output LNBF?
This 4 Feed twin-output LNBF is a monoblock LNBF for Ku-band satellite reception from orbital positions 9˚E, 13˚E, 19.2˚E and 23.5˚E. It is intended to be installed with commercially available 80cm satellite dish antennas with f/D ratio of 0.6.
How many outputs does a quattro LNB have?
A Quattro LNB has 4 outputs and each of the output's is set to one of the differing polarities, the 4 outputs are V/L, V/H, H/L & H/H. A Quattro LNB is normally used to feed a multiswitch which then allows the distribution of the signal to any number of satellite receivers.
What is the default feed for the LNB?
As long as no DiSEqC command has been received, the default feed is 9°E. The LNB comprises four feeds, one for each orbital position. The feeds allow mounting into the feed clamp of the satellite dish. The feeds are marked with "9˚E", "13˚E", "19.2˚E" and "23.5˚E" respectively.
What are the switchable outputs of the LNB?
The LNB provides two independently switchable IF outputs (Twin model). These ports carry also power supply and control signals and are F-type. DiSEqC1.0 commands allow switching each of the outputs to a particular band and orbital position.
What is an LNB with four outputs?
This picture shows a Quad LNB – an LNB with four outputs: Twin Tuner boxes? Some satellite receivers, such as Sky+, Sky+HD and the Foxsat Freesat receiver, have two tuners – these let you record one satellite channel while watching a different satellite channel. This means that they need two feeds from the LNB, not one.
What are the LNB feeds of a satellite?
The LNB comprises four feeds, one for each orbital position. The feeds allow mounting into the feed clamp of the satellite dish. The feeds are marked with "9˚E", "13˚E", "19.2˚E" and "23.5˚E" respectively.
What is the difference between an LNB and a quad LNB?
The difference here is the number of outputs that the LNB has. For instance, if you have two satellite TV boxes in your house, you need two feeds from the LNB – one for each box. As we said above, each satellite receiver needs its own feed from an LNB. This picture shows a Quad LNB – an LNB with four outputs: Twin Tuner boxes?

Dried fruit and nuts are sometimes consumed together as a whimsically-named product: "trail mix". That's not the only reason these two products fall in the same category on this web page. Both dried fruit and nuts are natural products that usually undergo post-harvest processing before they are sold to customers or consumers. Moisture mistakes for both these product categories are similarly painful: too much water means mold; too little means lost profit, not to mention quality issues.
Most growers or buyers use moisture content to determine if tree nuts or dried fruit are too "wet". This can cause problems. First, the moisture level that causes mold is different for every kind of nut or dried fruit. Second, loss-on-drying moisture isn't a very precise method for measuring moisture - the answer you get depends on the method you use.
Water activity is different. It's a snap to identify bad batches that could mold: any product over 0.7 aw can mold, anything under that value won't. It doesn't matter what your product is. Using water activity as a standard can eliminate the guesswork over whose moisture meter is right. Two water activity meters measuring the same sample will give the same reading. If you really want to know your moisture content, a new version of AquaLab can give you both moisture content and water activity from the same reading.
Dried fruit and nuts last a long time on the shelf, but not forever. In the end, lipid oxidation and other chemical or enzymatic reactions make the product unpalatable. Because water activity is a measure of energy, it influences how quickly these reactions occur.

Natural range of Corylus cornuta
Corylus cornuta (Beaked Hazel) is a deciduous shrubby hazel found in most of North America, from southern Canada south to Georgia and California. It grows in dry woodlands and forest edges and can reach 4–8 metres (13–26 ft) tall with stems 10–25 centimetres (3.9–9.8 in) thick with smooth gray bark. The leaves are rounded oval, coarsely double-toothed, 5–11 centimetres (2.0–4.3 in) long and 3–8 centimetres (1.2–3.1 in) broad, with hairy undersides. The flowers are catkins that form in the fall and pollinate in the following spring.
Corylus cornuta is named from its fruit, which is a nut enclosed in a husk with a tubular extension 2–4 centimetres (0.79–1.57 in) long that resembles a beak. Tiny filaments protrude from the husk and may stick into, and irritate, skin that contacts them. The spherical nuts, which are surrounded by a hard shell, are edible.
There are two varieties:[1]
 - Corylus cornuta var. cornuta – Eastern Beaked Hazel. Small shrub, 4 to 6 m tall;[1] 'beak' longer, 3 cm or more.
 - Corylus cornuta var. californica – Western Beaked Hazel or California Hazelnut. Large shrub, 4 to 15 m tall;[1] 'beak' shorter, usually less than 3 cm. The Concow tribe called this variety gōm'-he''-ni (Konkow language).[2]
The seeds are dispersed by jays and rodents such as red squirrels and least chipmunks.[1] Although C. cornuta is somewhat shade tolerant, it more common in open forests than denser ones.[1] Fire kills the above-ground portion of the shrub, but it resprouts fairly readily after fire, and in fact American Indians in California and Oregon used fire to encourage hazelnut growth, as they used hazelnuts for food, baskets, medicine, and other purposes.[1]

The oldest-known representations of a pharaoh are carved on rocks near the Nile River in southern Egypt, researchers report.
Look closely — standing on the top of this boat is a crowned figure who may represent Narmer, the first pharaoh to rule unified Egypt. Oarsmen propel the boat along. Credit: Stan Hendrickx, John Coleman Darnell & Maria Carmela Gatto
The carvings were first observed and recorded in the 1890s, but only rediscovered in 2008. In them, a white-crowned figure travels in ceremonial processions and on sickle-shaped boats, perhaps representing an early tax-collecting tour of Egypt.
The scenes place the age of the carvings between 3200 B.C. and 3100 B.C., researchers report in the December issue of the journal Antiquity. During that time, Egypt was transitioning into the dynastic rule of the pharaohs.
"It's really the end of prehistory and the beginning of history," in Egypt, study researcher Maria Gatto told LiveScience.
Scenes of a ruler
Gatto, a Yale University researcher, led the archaeologists who rediscovered the site in 2008. Archaeologist Archibald Sayce first sketched the carvings, found at the village Nag el-Hamdulab, in the 1890s, but the only record of Sayce's discovery was a partial illustration published in a book.
The site was then forgotten until the 1960s, when Egyptian archaeologist Labib Habachi took photographs of the carvings, which he never published. It wasn't until one of these photos resurfaced in 2008 that Gatto and her team started searching for the site, which many people assumed had been destroyed in the interim.
Some of the carvings have indeed been vandalized since the 1960s, but Gatto and her team found the etched rocks in a natural amphitheater west of Nag el-Hamdulab. They then compared the carvings to Habachi's 1960s photographs.
There are seven carvings scattered throughout the area, and many are tableaus of boats flanked by prisoners. One of the most extensive carvings shows five boats, one of which houses the white-crowned pharaoh, his fan-bearer and two standard-bearers. Falcon and bull insignia on the pharaoh's boat symbolize royalty, further emphasized by the four men with ropes standing alongside that boat, likely towing it along the Nile.
A hieroglyph labels this scene a "nautical following," a likely reference to the following of Horus, Gatto said. In this periodic royal jaunt across Egypt, the pharaoh cemented power and collected taxes. Thus, not only do the carvings represent the oldest known vision of a pharaoh, they may also show the oldest Egyptian tax campaign.
Other carvings include a scene of people and dogs herding cattle and a cluster of animals, two of them apparently some mythical part-lion beasts. The other animals are familiar native African species, including two ostriches, an ibex and a bull. Another scene shows the brewing and drinking of beer, perhaps a reference to a festival.

Is there a way in code to have gpu or cpu do whats in the code?
I'm just trying to figure out if I can separate different parts of the code to spread it evenly across the processing power the computer has.
Shader code runs on the GPU, the rest runs on the CPU.
Unity supports DirectCompute which you may like to look into. DirectCompute requires DirectX 11 I believe, so that might limit your audience quite a bit. DirectCompute uses Compute Shaders, so it will take a bit of researching if you want to go that route.
Programming for GPU is quite different to programming for CPU. Most of your shader knowledge will apply, such as avoiding unnecessary branching, and is suitable to highly parallel and fairly independent tasks. Processing thousands of pixels in the same way, for example, is a great example of a highly parallel independent task if each pixel is processed independently of the others (one pixel doesn't depend on output from another).
There is an excellent guide here:

New Jersey Sod Webworms
If lots of sod webworm moths are observed in the evening, watch for damage in about 10 to 14 days. This is when their eggs begin to hatch into caterpillars.
These caterpillars chew off the grass blades close to the soil surface leaving brown stubble as damage. Early August is typically when we see the heaviest damage, although sometimes damage is also heavy in June. Insecticides should be applied to the surface of damaged areas.

Emancipation Day 2021, 2022 and 2023 in Turks and Caicos Islands
Emancipation Day is a public holiday in the UK dependency of Turks and Caicos that commemorates the abolition of slavery in the British Empire. The law abolishing slavery was passed on 1 August, 1834, but Turks and Caicos now celebrates Emancipation Day on the first Monday of August instead to create a long weekend.

The movement toward abolition of slavery was gradual in Britain, but it began much earlier than most people realise. By the same token, full and true freedom took up to six years past 1834 in some cases.
In 1772, the ruling of Somerset VS Stewart concluded slavery violated English common law, though nothing was done about it. In 1796, the Slave Act somewhat restricted the right of slave holders to punish their slaves and declared, among other things, that they must get Christmas off work, be provided with food and clothes, and be subject to "compulsory religious education".
In 1807, the slave trade was abolished, along with slavery in the UK itself. Finally, on 1 August 1834, the Slavery Abolition Act (passed in 1833) was implemented. But it took four to six more years before slaves were finally fully free.
Emancipation Day is a time when Turks and Caicos remembers the horrors of slavery and celebrates its final demise.

Test steps are very important in manual testing because they provide the detailed semantics on how each test case is to be validated and ultimately completed. That said, if you consider most manual test cases will have several steps each and most organizations will have a number of test cases, this results in a large number of steps to manage. Copying and pasting from popular tools like Microsoft Excel and Notepad reduces the time needed to properly manage, compose, and translate steps.
The test steps control inside the test case work item supports bulk copying and pasting of data from a variety of data sources, including other test steps, Microsoft Excel, Notepad, or any other tool that is capable of copying tab-delimited data onto the clipboard.
Copying steps from other data sources
Copying steps from Microsoft Excel requires that you use only two columns in your table of steps: the first column will map to "Action" and the second column will map "Expected Result" in the test steps work item control. Copy the range of two-column rows that you want to insert to the clipboard and paste them using either the context menu or keyboard (Ctrl-V):
You can also copy steps from the test steps control and paste them into either other test cases, or other data sources. Select a range of rows in the test steps control and either copy with the keyboard (CTRL-C), or use the context menu to copy the steps. Notice they are rendered in notepad as readable TAB-delimited rows:
Pasting the text above into a new test case provides you the same user experience as when working with Microsoft Excel:

Theorem Linker is a program used to visualize references between theorems in a paper written using LaTeX. Using a.tex document (and a.aux file, created by the LaTeX compiler), Theorem Linker will search through a paper, find theorems, and find references to other theorems within a theorem's "proof". It will then create a digraph in a.dot file (to be opened with programs such as Graphviz or OmniGraffle) that will display each theorem as a node, with directed edges to describe the relations between the theorems. A path highlighted in red describes the longest path in the graph. Theorem Linker will also create folders containing graphs to individually show relations of each theorem in a paper.

As Queen of the United Kingdom, it is to be expected the job might come with some perks.
Fine jewellery, access to some luxurious palaces, and crowns a plenty all make sense for a monarch.
But one of the stranger things the Queen has in her collection is possession of quite a lot of swans.
The monarch still technically has the right to claim ownership of any mute swan which is unmarked and swimming in open water.
However, this right is rarely actually used and so while the Queen could own all the swans, she only really exercises the right on the River Thames.
What is a mute swan?
A mute swan is a species of swan probably most recognised in the UK. It's a large white bird with an S-shaped neck, and an orange and black bill.
According to Wildlife Trusts, they usually mate for life, but some of them will have numerous partners.
They feed on plants, like waterweed, and live on rivers, canals and lakes all over the country.
Who else owns swans?
So if the Queen owns the unmarked swans, who owns the rest? According to the RSPB and the Royal Family, there are two other owners of swans on the Thames.
Read more: Why does the Queen have two birthdays?
Essentially, ownership dates so far and no one else has challenged them, so it is classed as dating to "time immemorial".
It is also in place in law, by a statute which came into place with the accession of Richard I in 1189.
The Royal Family website also lists Abbotsbury Swannery as an owner of swans in the UK. Based in Dorset, the swannery is the home of the only managed colony of nesting mute swans.
The swannery has about 600 birds, and visitors can help feed them as they walk among them.
Swans were valuable commodities in the Middle Ages, traded by noblemen for their meat. Their feathers were also used to make quills, a practice which continued for hundreds of years.
Now, swans are not eaten and are a protected species.
Swans owned by the Vintners or the Dyers previously had their bills marked to distinguish them, but now a small numbered leg ring is wrapped around each cygnet.
What is Swan Upping?
Each July a traditional ceremony is held along the River Thames, called Swan Upping.
It's led by the Queen's Swan Warden, currently David Barber, and involves checking the health of the birds at various locations along the river.
Royal Swan Uppers wear a scarlet uniform and travel in traditional rowing boats along the river, with members of each of the companies, Vintners and Dyers.
The ceremony allows them to check on the health of the birds and means they can treat any injuries which could otherwise go unnoticed.
There's also an opportunity for education, and pupils from nearby schools are invited to meet the Uppers, and ask questions about the swans.
Swan Upping takes about five days and covers a stretch of river nearly 80 miles long between Sunbury and Abingdon.
The cygnets are checked, and marked under the watchful eye of the warden, before they're returned to the waters, with their parents.
In 2009, the Queen attended the Swan Upping for the first time in her reign.
During the ceremony, she is referred to as the Seigneur of the Swans. It was the first time a reigning monarch had been to the event in centuries, though Princess Anne had attended in the past.
In 2020, the ceremony was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the ceremony was cancelled, Barber said that the quieter river, because of the coronavirus restrictions, was giving the new cygnets a better chance of survival.
Barber is also responsible for arranging for the removal of swans from the river during rowing regattas to ensure their safety. He works with swan rescue organisations to make sure the birds are looked after throughout the year.

Solving "AttributeError: Module 'Tensorflow' Has No Attribute 'ConfigProto'" Error
In this guide, we will discuss the reasons behind the AttributeError: Module 'Tensorflow' has no attribute 'ConfigProto' error and provide step-by-step solutions to resolve it. This error is commonly encountered when working with Tensorflow and can be a source of frustration for developers. We will also provide an FAQ section to address some common queries related to this issue.
Table of Contents
 1. Understanding the Error
 2. Solutions
 3. Solution 1: Upgrade Tensorflow
 4. Solution 2: Use 'Compat' Module
 5. FAQ
Understanding the Error
The AttributeError: Module 'Tensorflow' has no attribute 'ConfigProto' error occurs when you attempt to access the ConfigProto attribute in the Tensorflow module, and the attribute is not found. This is often caused by using an older version of Tensorflow that does not have the ConfigProto attribute, or due to changes in the Tensorflow API.
Solutions
There are two main solutions to this problem:
Solution 1: Upgrade Tensorflow
The first and most straightforward solution is to upgrade your Tensorflow installation to a version that includes the ConfigProto attribute. To do this, you can use the following command:
pip install --upgrade tensorflow
After upgrading Tensorflow, you should be able to access the ConfigProto attribute without any issues. However, if you still encounter the error, you may need to consider the second solution.
Solution 2: Use 'Compat' Module
In some cases, the Tensorflow API may have changed, and the ConfigProto attribute may have been moved to a different location. To resolve this issue, you can use the compat module provided by Tensorflow, which includes the ConfigProto attribute.
To use the compat module, you can modify your code as follows:
import tensorflow as tf
config = tf.compat.v1.ConfigProto()
By using the compat module, you should be able to access the ConfigProto attribute without encountering the error.
FAQ
1. What is ConfigProto in Tensorflow?
ConfigProto is a configuration object in Tensorflow that allows you to configure various options for your Tensorflow session. Some of the options you can configure include the amount of GPU memory to use, the number of threads for parallelism, and more. It is an important object for configuring and optimizing your Tensorflow computation.
2. How can I check my Tensorflow version?
You can check your Tensorflow version by running the following Python script:
import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.__version__)
This script will print out the version number of your installed Tensorflow package.
3. Can I use ConfigProto with Tensorflow 2.x?
Yes, you can use ConfigProto with Tensorflow 2.x by using the compat module as described in Solution 2. However, Tensorflow 2.x introduced many changes, and it is recommended to use the native Tensorflow 2.x API whenever possible.
4. How can I configure GPU usage with ConfigProto?
You can configure GPU usage with ConfigProto by setting the gpu_options attribute. For example, to limit Tensorflow to a specific amount of GPU memory, you can use the following code:
import tensorflow as tf
config = tf.compat.v1.ConfigProto()
config.gpu_options.per_process_gpu_memory_fraction = 0.5 # Use 50% of available GPU memory
sess = tf.compat.v1.Session(config=config)
5. Can I use ConfigProto to configure multiple GPUs?
Yes, you can use ConfigProto to configure multiple GPUs by setting the allow_soft_placement and log_device_placement options. For example:
import tensorflow as tf
config = tf.compat.v1.ConfigProto()
config.allow_soft_placement = True
config.log_device_placement = True
sess = tf.compat.v1.Session(config=config)
With these options set, Tensorflow will automatically assign operations to available GPUs and log the device placement.

Integration into Research Teams
Case Study - Integrating Research Users into Research Teams
KE can benefit from avoiding preconceptions about the role stakeholders should play. Professor Alister Scott outlines how an initiative within the Rural Economy and Land Use (Relu) Programme achieved success by creating a 'soup' that deliberately blurred boundaries between researchers and research users.
The aim of the Managing Environmental Change at the Fringe project was to pinpoint better ways of managing places where the town meets the countryside. Historically, the rural-urban fringe has suffered from the chaos of unrelated decisions, largely because it's a frontier zone not just in a physical sense but also between natural and social sciences, between the natural and built environment, between spatial planning system and ecosystem-led approaches, and between researchers and policy-makers/practitioners.
We needed to break down these barriers and bring together parties who think in very different ways and generally don't communicate with each other very effectively. For instance, many environmental scientists don't really understand the planning process and many planners haven't even heard of the ecosystem approach. Above all, we wanted to avoid the usual way of operating whereby stakeholders are simply brought together at various milestones within the project for a token discussion of the findings.
Embedded from the word go, our philosophy was that there should be a single project team embracing both researchers and stakeholders, where everyone was equal.
This wasn't going to be an initiative where academics worked in splendid isolation. Academia, policy and practice all had something important to contribute and something to learn, so everyone was a researcher and research user. As such, all participants received remuneration for their time.
While it was challenging to find people willing to work outside their comfort zones, this approach gave us a unique chance to integrate different outlooks.
Team members benefited from the opportunity to incorporate others' perspectives into their own work and to identify areas of common ground. Adopting this novel way of working meant we didn't just recycle existing knowledge, which might have happened if everyone had stayed inside the 'bubble' of their own niche interest. Instead, the creative fusion generated innovative tools for day-to-day use, such as video policy briefs and 'RUFopoly' – a giant board-game exploring rural-urban fringe issues and already used by Government, schools and voluntary groups.
Other projects are already harnessing the unique capacity we built – for instance, members of our group are involved in the follow-on phase of the National Ecosystem Assessment.


Buddhist Logic class, Starts Oct. 20th, 3:30pm to 5pm New class Open to all!
Dharmakirti Buddhist Logic is used by practitioners to explore basic truths in an attempt to determine their accuracy through valid cognition (Tibetan: ཚད་མ་) or Pramana (Sanskrit: प्रमाण, Pramāṇa), which literally means "proof" and "means of knowledge". Phenomena are generally categorized into obvious truths like gross suffering and impermanence, slightly hidden truths like subtle impermanence, and extremely hidden truths like karma.

Seoul's S-Poles
By Chris Young
The multipurpose S-Poles can also function as Wi-Fi access points.
A smaller, more versatile version of the utility pole might soon become ubiquitous throughout future smart cities worldwide.
Amongst the implementors of such a technology is Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG), which announced last year that it would install new 'smart poles', or S-Poles, that act as streetlights, traffic lights, environmental sensors, smartphone chargers, Wi-Fi access points, CCTV, and more.
As a Cities Today report explains, the city of Seoul, South Korea, has already installed twenty-six smart poles in six areas of the city. Each pole's function is customized to the requirements of its specific location.
SMG is piloting a version of the S-Pole system, which is also able to charge drones and electric vehicles as well as count the footfall of nearby pedestrians.
The project, which is in the planning stage, would use drones to monitor potential disasters and provide data for emergency rescue teams.
Poles apart from traditional city technologies
The new smart poles will essentially carry out a large number of functions and are being designed to replace several traditional city technologies in the future.
"Smart poles help effectively consolidate the somewhat elaborate road facilities, not only retaining their innate functions but also highlighting various smart technological features," Lee Won-Mok, Director General of Smart City Policy at Seoul Metropolitan Government, explained to Cities Today.
"These S-Poles are expected to improve urban landscapes and enhance the safety, welfare, and convenience for our Seoul citizens. They will also serve as charging stations for drones and electric vehicles, bringing the city one step closer to becoming a smart city."
The project is part of a global shift towards multipurpose street infrastructure, as cities, vehicles, and citizens become more connected. Essentially, this trend is part of an initiative to make the cities of the future less cluttered amidst the surge in new technologies — further examples include smart bins, ground-level traffic lights, and 5G poles that are hidden in plain sight.

Basic things about men's wardrobe
To look dignified, the man should choose the following basic elements of the wardrobe correctly:
And if the choice of trousers with shoes is always individual. Then for the rest, you can formulate general rules.
How to choose a shirt
- The shape of the collar should be chosen based on the characteristics of the face. If it is narrow, it is better than the collar should be sharpened. And if wide – prefer the blunt angles.
- Choose the color of the shirt for the color of your skin. If the shirt is brighter than you, then it will emphasize all the defects. For example, make visually more visible bags under the eyes.
- Check the size of the shirt correctly. First, look at the place of the shoulder seams. Secondly, pay attention to the length of the sleeve. When the arm is lowered, the sleeve should be slightly below the wrist.
How to choose a jacket
- It is important to choose the right jacket for the size. Notice how the shoulder seam lay. Be sure to check the length of the sleeve – it should be such that the cuffs of the shirt look out.
- Choose the color of the jacket depending on where you intend to put it on. For example, for work – gray, in the club – blue, in the yacht club – white, etc.
- Pay attention to the texture and drawing of the fabric. They need to be selected for the season and the situation.
- Lapels should be in harmony with facial features. If the face is narrow, pick up the pointed lapels. If wide – then lapels, respectively, should be wider than usual.
- Look at the number of buttons. If you have low growth, then let them be 1-2, not more. And, if the buttons are more than two, the lower one should always be bent. This is a rule of etiquette!
- The number of slots (cuts) and their position should also be selected for their type of figure.
- Pay attention to the shape of the pockets. They can attach the unnecessary volume to the abdomen.
- If there are elbow pins on the jacket, they set the tone for all other elements of the image. For example, if the armrests are brown, then shoes, and accessories, too, should be in brown color.
- The width of the necktie must be chosen from the width of the face. The wider the face, the wider the tie. And vice versa. In addition, the width of the tie should match the sphere of work of the man. Officials and businessmen are more suitable for wide ties, representatives of creative specialties – more narrow.
- The color of the tie should be chosen for your color. If your hair is dark, and the skin is light, then it's better to buy a contrast tie, for example, dark blue, burgundy, and emerald. If your hair is light, then you should prefer gray, beige and other muted colors.
- It's important to match the tie to the suit. First of all, with a shirt. They must be in harmony with each other. For example, if the shirt is white and the jacket is dark blue, then the tie must be saturated color. And if the rest of the outfit is light shades, then it's worth choosing a pastel tie, a muted color.
How to choose a belt
- It is necessary to know exactly what you are wearing a belt for trousers or jeans. On this depends its width: for trousers – 2-3 cm, for jeans – 4-5 (+ more massive buckle).
- The color of the belt should be in harmony with the color of the other accessories. For example, if the belt is brown, then it is desirable that in the same range there are socks and shoes.
- The length of the belt is determined by the number of holes in it. Usually, there are 5. It is important that you can fasten the belt to the third, maximum, fourth hole.
- The buckle must not be fanciful. The bad taste is the brand logo on a fist-sized buckle. The buckle is also worth choosing under the shape of the face. If the face has more smooth lines – choose a buckle in the shape of an oval or a circle. If more sharp, graphic lines – it is better to give preference to rectangular or triangular buckles.

In nanostructured, textured, hard magnetic materials so-called interaction domains occur. These are different in nature to the conventional magnetic domain structures we know from coarse grained materials e.g. sintered magnets. Interaction domains arise from the magnetic coupling between grains whose sizes are about equal to or smaller than the critical single-domain particle size, dc. For Nd2Fe14B, dc ~ 200-300 nm [Sagawa1984]. Interaction domains may encompass many such nanoscale grains (Fig. 1). Hot deformation has been employed to produce nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B magnets containing interaction domains
Figure 1: Relation between microstructure and domain structure in hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B-based magnets. Well-pronounced interaction domains encompass several grains.
Though the phenomenon of interaction domains was recognized 55 years ago in elongated single-domain iron particles embedded in a nonmagnetic matrix [Craik1960], fundamental questions are still unanswered e.g. what is the nature of the boundaries between interaction domains? The boundaries cannot be conventional domain walls (Bloch walls or Néel walls) because they tend to be located at grain boundaries (structural discontinuities) rather than within a grain. Conventional domain walls are governed by the anisotropy constant K and the exchange constant A, whereas interaction domain boundaries may have other important influences.
For magnetic domain observations two methods are used. First Kerr microscopy which is suitable in order to study a large sample area and also to visualize all magnetization directions. Due to the resolution limit of about 200-300nm, Kerr microscopy cannot reveal very small features and in cases where high resolution is needed, Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) is employed. In Figure 2 domain images of both techniques are compared.
Figure 2: (a) Kerr image and (b) MFM image of a hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B sample with same scale, (c) enlarged MFM image and (d) secondary electron image of a fracture surface with same scale.
The characteristic interaction domain width of the interaction domains was evaluated from Kerr images of the hot deformed Nd-Fe-B magnets using the linear intercept method. In the thermally demagnetized state, the average characteristic width of the interaction domains magnets produced here was about 1 µm, whereas the grain size was approx. 300 nm. The implication is that the interaction domains typically encompass about 2-3 grains in their width (Fig. 3). Although this is the typical width of the domains, the area covered by a single domain can be much larger (Fig. 3c).
Figure 3: (a) Kerr image of hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B sample with c-axis perpendicular to image plane, (b) binary image of domain structure from (a), (c) one yellow coloured domain in order to show the scale of interaction domains, (d) histogram of linear intercept domain size measured in 4 different directions.
With the Low-Temperature-MFM at IFW Dresden it was possible to visualize magnetization reversal processes while applying a magnetic field of up to 6T in-situ [Thielsch2012]. Since MFM is a surface sensitive technique one needs to check if a correlation between the information gained from the surface can be linked to processes within the bulk. Therefore the fractions of domains with the magnetization pointing in or out of the image plane were determined and assigned to a polarization (Fig. 4)
Figure 4: Procedure in order to determine polarization from domain fractions, (a) MFM image, (b) MFM image with domain boundaries, (c) only domain boundaries, (d) binary domain image to determine domain fractions.
In Fig. 5, the correlation of the initial magnetization curve measured with a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and the polarization values obtained from the procedure explained above is featured. The correlated values are in good agreement which leads to the assumption that observed domains from the surface reveal magnetization reversal processes within the bulk.
Figure 5: Correlation of initial magnetization curve from the thermally demagnetized state and polarization values obtained from MFM images.
Another type of material in which interaction domains occur is composites composed of hard and soft magnetic phases. Hot deformation was used to produce composites of Nd-Fe-B and Fe. Even though the size of the two different magnetic phases is far larger than the effective exchange length (thus precluding complete exchange coupling), the composites surprisingly show a uniform magnetization reversal along the easy axis [Thielsch2010]. The details of the magnetization reversal process were studied using Kerr microscopy (Fig. 6). The results showed that interaction domains tend to nucleate at phase boundaries. The growth of these domains was responsible for the magnetization reversal.
Figure 6: Domain evolution in Nd-Fe-B/Fe composite with c-axis of Nd-Fe-B in-plane, a magnetic field leads to domain rearrangement in soft magnetic phase and thus to a magnetic charge accumulation at the phase boundaries. This supports the subsequent nucleation of interaction domains at the phase boundaries and to the magnetization reversal [Thielsch2010].
A further example where interaction domains occur are nanostructured Nd-Fe-B thick films for MEMS applications [Woodcock2009]. Fig. 7 contains MFM images showing the magnetic domain structure of thick films deposited without heating the substrate ("cold"), with the substrate heated to 400°C and 500°C in both as-deposited and annealed states. In the as-deposited state when the substrate was cold or at 400°C, the resulting films were amorphous, resulting in the characteristic domain pattern (Fig. 7a and b). After annealing, the films crystallised and the domain pattern reflects the formation of small grains which are encompassed by interaction domains. For more details of magnetic properties and film preparation, please see [Woodcock2009].
Figure 7: MFM phase images of Nd-Fe-B-type thick films recorded using a hard magnetic tip. A greyscale key giving the phase range of each image is shown as is the deposition temperature: (a–c) in the as-deposited state (as-dep.); (d–f) following annealing (ann.) [Woodcock2009].

Control the order of ember promise resolution?
I've been following the tutorial, using ember 2.9.1, node 6.9.1, chrome 53.0.2785.143 and OS/X 10.11.6.
When I create the component described here:
_URL_
I end up with a race condition. If I enter the character p into the input and very rapidly hit backspace, I end up with the models filtered by the character p but no input in the text field.
Some console logging suggests this is happening because the second promise (which returns all the models, since the input is empty) is resolving first, and the first promise (returning the filtered models) resolves second.
Is there anything that can be done about this?
Answer
For concurrency purposes, there is an addon called: ember-concurrency. You can use it for all your async operations.
Also ember-power-select uses this addon. It is a powerful, auto-complete select component. I can suggest you to use it.

The study examined the influence of metrological parameters on solar radiation in Makurdi. Correlations are developed to predict incident solar radiation at a givenlocation developed based on meteorological parameters. However, all correlations depend on accurate measurement and availability of weather data such as sunshine duration, cloud cover, relative humidity, maximum and minimum temperature which essentially is a costly exercise in terms of equipment and labour. These data include solar radiation, sunshine hour duration, relative humidity, rainfall, cloud cover, maximum and minimum temperatures were analysed using regression techniques of the Angstrom type. The MBE values obtained from the models are positive in some cases and negative in others, which shows that these models vary between under and over estimate of global solar radiation. However, model has the lowest under estimation with a value of -1.03, which is expected and acceptable. A low value of MPE is expected, model 1 was observed to have an MPE value of (-0.074). The results obtained show a remarkable agreement between the measured and the predicted values. The study therefore recommends for designers and engineers of solar energy and other renewable energy devices in this area.
