The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a sweet, affectionate dog breed, and people love these dogs for their friendliness. These dogs are excellent pets because they are intelligent and get along well with humans and children. However, as Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have long fur, many people are afraid to get this breed due to the potential shedding issues.
So, do Cavalier King Charles Spaniels shed a lot?
It's true that these dogs shed, although the shedding is typically moderate and not that alarming. There are other breeds that shed much more, so this shouldn't be a dealbreaker when considering this breed for a pet. If you'd like to know more about Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, their shedding, and how to manage it, keep reading the rest of our article.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – More About the Breed
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a toy spaniel breed with a medium-length coat. These canines are active, yet they love to relax and spend time with people. They make excellent companions, which is why many people choose them for their pets.
If you're considering getting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, it's a good idea to know a bit more about them.
These puppies are typically healthy, although they are prone to certain health problems¹, including:
However, as long as you take your Cavalier to regular vet checks, it will live a long and happy life.
Cavaliers have medium-long, silky coats that typically require a lot of attention to keep their coats in good condition. You should brush your Cavalier daily, as brushing reduces potential shedding and keeps its coat smooth and tangle-free. It's a good idea to dedicate a specific time every day that you'll brush your Cavalier, as it can be an excellent bonding experience for the two of you.
It's also advisable to wash your Cavalier once every 2 weeks and trim its nails once a month to keep them in shape.
Training and Exercise 🎾
Although Cavaliers were first bred as companion dogs, they are very active and love sporty canine activities. These puppies will gladly exercise, while they can also spend the whole day just lying around.
As this breed is quite intelligent, you shouldn't have any issues teaching your Cavalier new tricks, and it's best to begin from an early age to help your Cavalier develop proper manners.
Cavaliers don't require special nutrition, but you should give them age-appropriate food. However, it's important to mention that these dogs can develop obesity problems. Also, a poor diet could lead to increased shedding.
Because of that, it's crucial to watch your Cavalier's calorie consumption, provide high-quality foods and promote exercise whenever possible. When giving treats to this breed, try to do it in moderation because of the obesity problems these canines can have.
Does This Breed Shed a Lot?
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels shed, but their shedding is typically moderate. Most categorize their shedding as average compared to dogs of similar breeds and coats. They shed evenly throughout the year, but their shedding is less noticeable during autumn and spring.
Their coats are medium length; the hair on their faces is shorter, whereas it's longer around their ears. Cavaliers have a topcoat that makes it easy to maintain their hair, as long as you brush it regularly. If you don't brush their coats frequently, they can easily get tangled, causing more problems down the way.
What Can Cause Excessive Shedding in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels?
While these dogs shed moderately, there are several different things that can lead to excessive shedding in this breed. Cavaliers shed more during their puppy years because their adult coat is still developing. It's nothing abnormal, and the shedding will reduce once your Cavalier reaches adulthood.
Another thing that can affect the amount of shedding in your Cavalier is the time of the year. These canines shed more during spring and fall. It's also common for females to shed more during pregnancy, after they have a litter, and during heat cycles.
The food you give your Cavalier will also have an impact on shedding. Cavaliers with a poor diet are likely to shed more than Cavaliers that consume high-quality foods. Try to avoid any foods with cheap fillers, including:
You could even notice excessive shedding if your Cavalier has fleas or ticks. If you notice scratching in your Cavalier, take it to the vet to get appropriate treatment, resolve the problem and reduce shedding.
Another health issue that could lead to your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel shedding a lot is Cushing's disease¹. It's a severe genetic disorder that leads to an array of issues, from abnormal shedding to increased appetite and lethargy. In case you notice these symptoms, it's crucial to take your dog to the vet, as the outcome could otherwise be lethal.
Is This Breed Suitable for People with Allergies?
Cavaliers are not hypoallergenic, so their coats can cause allergies. Also, purebred dogs of this breed can cause a lot of harm to your sinuses. Because of that, people with allergies should avoid this breed, and look for other suitable breed options instead.
There are a couple of Cavalier mixed breeds, like the Cavapoo and Bichon Frises that shed less and are more hypoallergenic so they might be a better choice. If you have allergies, but still insist on getting a Cavalier, you can follow these tips to reduce your allergy reactions:
Overall, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels shed moderately, and it's nothing you should be particularly worried about. However, it's important to keep your Cavalier's coat in good shape, offer healthy meals, and watch out for possible health conditions because that will help reduce shedding.

North Mole Fremantle WA
North mole is a rock wall which marks the entry into the swan river. The proximity to the shipping lanes means you have deep water close to the bank. This spot is known for a variety or species including snapper, whiting, squid and even the occasional Spanish Mackerel or Tuna have been caught.
Even if you have a boat, this spot is worth considering especially if the weather isn't quite calm enough to go out in open water. It actually can be more fruitful in a storm as crabs and small fish get injured in the swell and pushed into the area around North Mole. This in turn attracts predators such as Snapper.
Regardless of the wind direction, there is always a spot where you can have the wind to your back. There is a little inlet where a lot of boats and marine equipment are moored. If you time your tides right, you can easily get a feed of Herring or Whiting. Some Squid is also not uncommon.
Most people go towards the end of the point near the lighthouse to get their baits into deeper water.

|What Is the Purpose of the Kabbalah Red String?|
Followers of the mystical Judaic tradition Kabbalah often believe that wearing a red string tied around the left wrist will ward off the evil eye. According to Kabbalah teachings, the talisman works as a "spiritual vaccination": the red string, being the color of danger, will shield the wearer against danger and negativity. Before Kabbalah red string is sold to followers, it is wound around the tomb of Rachel, a Biblical matriarch whose motherly protection becomes part of the red string's power.
Many cultures have used a red string, ribbon, or cloth as a ritualistic talisman of protection, including the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese; red string also appears in the folk customs of Ireland, Romania and India. Scholar Elly Teman identifies three elements that make the red string such a powerful cross-cultural symbol: the knotting of the thread, symbolizing binding and closure; the circularity of the string, symbolizing sacredness and protection; and the string's redness, connoting blood, earth and courage.
The Kabbalah red string is a type of "segulah," the Jewish term for a protective, healing spiritual act. However, Rabbi Ahron Lopiansky claims that there is no scriptural basis for this particular segulah, citing instead a Talmudic verse that equates the red-string ritual to superstition and idol worship.
The modern red string ritual began in the '30s when those with fertility problems began making pilgrimages to Rachel's Tomb; thus, early on, the red string was used primarily as a fertility charm. This tradition disappeared while the tomb was under Jordanian rule, but reappeared after the Six Day War in 1967, and the string came to mean protection rather than fertility. The Kabbalah string must be wound seven times around Rachel's Tomb to endow it with full protective powers.
In the '80s, the red string became more and more popular as the conditions in Israel grew more and more uncertain; Elly Teman believes that national anxiety is at the root of contemporary usage of the Kabbalah string. Then, in the late '90s, many celebrities (including Madonna, David Beckham and Britney Spears) began wearing a red string as a fad accessory.

Presence Detection using Bluetooth and WiFi
Home automation often relies on the ability to detect whether someone is present within the house. This information can then be used to perform different action as appropriate. Most people have a mobile phone on them so we can use the presence of, or lack of, these devices to relatively accurately determine whether someone is home or not.
Bluetooth Presence Detection Script
The devices dictionary holds a set of key:value pairs. In this case the key is the name of the switch set up in OpenHab to hold the status and the value is the Bluetooth device address. Additional key:value pairs will allow you to include more devices as necessary. Provided that Bluetooth on the device is switched on (it doesn't have to be set to discoverable) and the device is within range, the script should be able to detect it.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import bluetooth
import time
import requests
devices = {
 'Person1BT': '00:00:00:00:00:00',
 'Person2BT': '00:00:00:00:00:00',
 'Person3BT': '00:00:00:00:00:00',
 'Person4BT': '00:00:00:00:00:00'
 }
while True:
 print "Checking Bluetooth Devices"
 for (switch, deviceaddress) in devices.items():
 print "Checking " + switch + "("+ deviceaddress +")"
 try:
 current = requests.get("http://localhost:8080/rest/items/"+switch+"/state")
 result = bluetooth.lookup_name(deviceaddress, timeout=5)
 print "Located Devices: " + str(result)
 if (result != None and current.text =="OFF"):
 r = requests.put("http://localhost:8080/rest/items/"+switch+"/state",data='ON')
 elif (result == None and current.text =="ON"):
 r = requests.put("http://localhost:8080/rest/items/"+switch+"/state",data='OFF')
 else:
 print "Nothing Needs Changing"
 except:
 print "Couldn't Connect"
 time.sleep(5)
WiFi Presence Detection Script
The devices dictionary holds a set of key:value pairs. In this case the key is the name of the switch set up in OpenHab to hold the status and the value is the IP address assigned to the device. Additional key:value pairs will allow you to include more devices as necessary. This script assumes that a device will always have the same IP address so your router should be set up accordingly. This will send one ping packet (-c1 ) silently (-q ) to the device, waiting a maximum of one second (-W 1 ) for a response. Whether or not the device can be located is determined by looking at the ping process' exit code:
Success: 0
No reply: 1
Other error: 2
#!/usr/bin/env python
import subprocess
import time
import requests
devices = {
 'Person1WIFI': '192.168.1.1',
 'Person2WIFI': '192.168.1.2',
 'Person3WIFI': '192.168.1.3',
 'Person4WIFI': '192.168.1.4'
 }
while True:
 print "Checking WiFi Devices"
 for (switch, ipaddress) in devices.items():
 print "Checking " + switch + "("+ ipaddress +")"
 try:
 current = requests.get("http://localhost:8080/rest/items/"+switch+"/state")
 result = subprocess.call('ping -q -c1 -W 1 '+ipaddress+' > /dev/null', shell=True)
 print "New Value: (0 = present, 1= not):" + str(result)
 if (result == 0 and current.text =="OFF"):
 r = requests.put("http://localhost:8080/rest/items/"+switch+"/state",data='ON')
 elif (result != 0 and current.text =="ON"):
 r = requests.put("http://localhost:8080/rest/items/"+switch+"/state",data='OFF')

The same works for the WebStudio interface.
Also you can query any date column parts like this :
var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Date.Year == 2016 && x.Date.Month == 8); var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Date.Hour < 10);
Appendix v3.3.12 - In()
In this release you can now use In() on column and date parts so :
var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Serial.In(1,3,5,7)); var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Serial.In(new int[] { 1,3,5,7 })); var arr = new int[] {1,3,5,7}; var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Serial.In(arr)); var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Date.Year.In(2000, 2010)); var result = rdb.Query("salesinvoice", "serial.in(1,3,5,7)");
Also Between() has been extended to work with date parts :
var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Date.Hour.Between(12, 15);

Galileo Research Fact Sheet #96: Is muscle activity during Galileo Training related to different postures?
This study investigates the immediate effects of Galileo Training using different postures (hip tilted anterior/neutral/posterior) on the activation (EMG) of different muscle groups (from calf to neck).
The measurement was done by EMG signals where the frequency range of 50 to 300Hz was analyzed. The individuals stood in almost upright position with slightly flexed knees and EMG signals where recoded over a period of 10 seconds.
The results showed a significant increase of muscle activation at all postures. Nevertheless, the effects strongly depend on the used posture and frequency with increases of up to 2250% (a 100% value was defined as EMG activation at identical posture but without vibration).
This study proves what everyone can feel while on the Galileo when tilting the hip. However, it most probably even underestimates the increases due to Galileo Training since Ritzmann (_TAG_) showed that frequencies up to 30% and increasing amplitudes (pos. 3) can increase EMG even more. Furthermore Ritzmann also showed that the elimination of the training frequency (in this case 10 and 20Hz) is not advisable since every movement of the platform causes a stretch-reflex and therefore a significant signal component at the training frequency. Therefore, it can be expected that using higher frequencies, amplitudes and changing the posture even more to focus the Galileo effects on specific muscle groups as well as optimizing the analysis algorithms would most likely increase the measured muscle activation even more.

During the last two or three decades, incidence of failure of reinforced concrete structures has been seen widely for many reasons, such as increasing service loads and/or durability problems and the economic losses due to such failures are costly. Nowadays, the size and the form of repair and rehabilitation market are too large since there has been an increased emphasis on repair and retrofitting of defected structures over demolition and new construction. For safety in concrete tunnel, periodic inspection has been conducted using many testing technologies and techniques. However, these technologies cannot replace visual inspection because of their slow and complicated procedures. For this reason, the Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS) are used with lab tests results to diagnose R.C tunnel lining corrosion crack damage (DICRCTL). In this study, we attempt to propose an alternative to the human expert, to give technical decisions in diagnosing corrosion crack damages in second segment of R.C. tunnel lining. To overcome this requirement, an expert system is developed to achieve the research aim. This proposed system was constructed on a knowledge base that incorporates with the gathered information, tests in the form of rules which is suitable to implement in an expert system environment to diagnostic advisory nature. The proposed application results show an easy, fast and satisfactory answer to engineering needs.

What happens to your tattoos and your skin when you gain or lose weight? Your body changes and the condition of your skin can change too. In this article we tell you what to take into account.
When you lose a significant amount of weight in a short period of time, this may influence an already existing tattoo. If the weight loss only entails a couple of kilo's, your tattoo will most likely look the same. However, when you lose 20 kilos for example, it is not unusual for your tattoo to be affected.
Certain body parts will be more susceptible than others. Tattoos on hands and feet will hardly show any changes but ink on the belly, arms and upper legs can look less attractive because weight loss can cause excess skin.
If there is weight gain, there's a chance your tattoo will stretch out along with your skin. This can cause colors and lines to fade. In this case a 'touch-up' can be a solution. This also depends on the size and location of your tattoo. A large portrait is more easily affected than say, a small modest letter or sign.
So make sure to think carefully before you decide to get a tattoo when you plan on losing or gaining (a significant amount of) weight. It is almost always advisable to get the tattoo when you've reached your ideal weight.


Why do some people think french people are cold?

Properties of sediment phosphorus in seven wetlands of the Swan Coastal Plain, South-Western Australia
*Subscription may be required
Seven wetlands from two dune systems on the Swan Coastal Plain, Western Australia were studied for sediment properties associated with phosphorus retention and potential remobilization. Sediments from the Spearwood Dunes had higher contents of silt, clay, and organic material. Sediment total phosphorus was positively correlated with water content, organic matter and silt content but inversely related to the amount of coarse materials. Part of the organic matter was refractory humic substances, and the molecular weight of humic acids ranged from less than 10,000 to over 600,000. Significant portions of sediment total P (5–73%) were bound to humic substances. The fraction of "loosely-bound phosphorus" (NH4Cl-P) accounted for less than 10% of total-P. NaOH-extractable P was high; some humic substances were extracted with NaOH. Correlations between phosphorus forms and other components suggest an affinity between 'fine particles' of similar hydrologic density during sediment transport and reworking, and this involves most humic-P in these wetlands.

Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX - parse XLSX files
version 0.14
 use Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX;
 my $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX->new;
 my $workbook = $parser->parse("file.xlsx");
 # see Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for further documentation
This module is an adaptor for Spreadsheet::ParseExcel that reads XLSX files.
Returns a new parser instance. Takes no parameters.
Parses an XLSX file. Parsing errors throw an exception. $file can be either a filename or an open filehandle. Returns a Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook instance containing the parsed data.
This module returns data using classes from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, so for the most part, it should just be a drop-in replacement. That said, there are a couple areas where the data returned is intentionally different:
In Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, colors are represented by integers which index into the color table, and you have to use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->ColorIdxToRGB in order to get the actual value out. In Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX, while the color table still exists, cells are also allowed to specify their color directly rather than going through the color table. In order to avoid confusion, I normalize all color values in Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX to their string RGB format ("#0088ff"). This affects the Fill, BdrColor, and BdrDiag properties of formats, and the Color property of fonts. Note that the default color is represented by undef (the same thing that ColorIdxToRGB would return).
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel doesn't support formulas. Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX provides basic formula support by returning the text of the formula as part of the cell data. You can access it via $cell->{Formula}. Note that the restriction still holds that formula cell values aren't available unless they were explicitly provided when the spreadsheet was written.
Large spreadsheets may cause segfaults on perl 5.14 and earlier
This module internally uses XML::Twig, which makes it potentially subject to Bug #71636 for XML-Twig: Segfault with medium-sized document on perl versions 5.14 and below (the underlying bug with perl weak references was fixed in perl 5.15.5). The larger and more complex the spreadsheet, the more likely to be affected, but the actual size at which it segfaults is platform dependent. On a 64-bit perl with 7.6gb memory, it was seen on spreadsheets about 300mb and above. You can work around this adding XML::Twig::_set_weakrefs(0) to your code before parsing the spreadsheet, although this may have other consequences such as memory leaks.
Worksheets without the dimension tag are not supported
Intra-cell formatting is discarded
Diagonal border styles are ignored
In addition, there are still a few areas which are not yet implemented (the XLSX spec is quite large). If you run into any of those, bug reports are quite welcome.

Kia Ora Stud
Kia Ora Stud
Until the recent ascendency of 'Arrowfield' under the astute stewardship of John Messara the stud in the area to produce the majority of champion stallions was Kia Ora Stud in the Segenhoe Valley near Aberdeen. During the 20th century Kia Ora stood no fewer than three champion stallions who between them won 10 championships: 10% of the national total during the 100 years. 'Magpie' won twice in 1928 and 1931; 'Midstream' three times in 1948, 1951 and 1952; 'Delville Wood' five successive titles 1953 – 1957 inclusive. Only Widden Stud exceeds this record throughout the 20th century.

1937 – Percy Miller and the Kia Ora Stud
Percy Miller was a successful businessman and a hobby breeder with half a dozen mares. In 1914 he embarked on commercial thoroughbred production and purchased the cattle property Kia-Ora, over the Pages River from the established Segenhoe Stud, just east of Scone. With manager Bert Riddle, Miller set about developing Kia-Ora as a fully operational horse stud and by 1917 was able to offer two yearlings at the Sydney Easter Sales. It was to be the start of a sustained and most remarkable breeding record. In the same year a horse called Magpie ran second in the English 2000 Guineas and eventually came to Australia where he was acquired as a stallion by Percy Miller. Over the next decade Magpie became one of Australia's leading sires producing many feature race winners at Kia-Ora including Windbag, Amounis and Talking. This became the pattern with a succession of successful sires standing at Kia-Ora. Most notable of these were Midstream and Delville Wood who also became premiership winning sires and were responsible for such champions as Shannon, Delta, Hydrogen and Evening Peal.
They were to leave a legacy in a superb brand of brood mares but most remarkable about the record of Kia-Ora was the high percentage of winners that came off the property and the huge numbers, for the times, of well-grown yearlings that were sold off the stud. This peaked with 105 yearlings offered at the 1941 Sydney Easter Sales, while there were 103 catalogued in 1928 and 99 in both 1931 and 1936 for a total of 2,862 yearlings presented for sale between 1917 and 1949. Bert Riddle was the manager through all these years but on his death in 1952, four years after Percy Miller, the stud was scaled back by the family and finally dispersed in 1957. Kia-Ora had a series of owners from then on and amongst the stallions that stood at the farm were Australian champions Gunsynd and Baguette. Despite the numbers of horses bred at Kia-Ora being far less than before the winners kept coming, including top two year old Gretel and Caulfield Guineas victor Sou'wester.
The present owners took over Kia-Ora in 2000 and have re-developed the famous stud farm returning it to its former glory and once again making it home to some of the best bred mares in Australia.

PaperCut includes Find Me printing which solves the problem of locating the closest printer from a host of available devices. It is a roaming print service that allows print jobs to find users based on their physical location. It is sometimes referred to as "Pull Printing", "Push Printing" or "Follow Me" printing. It is an ideal solution for large sites operating a common printer fleet.
Users simply print to a single global virtual queue then go to a print release station and release their print job(s).
Printer Load Balancing
Printer load balancing automatically distributes print jobs between two or more printers. Load balancing is generally used to equally distribute print jobs across a pool of printers saving valuable time in document output for the user and at the same time balancing the wear and tear among printer devices. Load balancing can be implemented in PaperCut as part of Find Me Printing or separately without the need for release stations in a direct printing environment.
Clustering allows your organisation to ensure your printing services are not affected if anything should happen to your main server. PaperCut is a cluster compatible application and is supported under Windows (Microsoft Cluster Server / MSCS, Microsoft Failover Cluster Manager / MSFCM, Vetitas Cluster Server / VCS) and Linux (Novell Cluster Services / NCS, Linux-HA) at all levels of the application, including:
- Clustering at the print spooler service layer by integrating with clustering services
- Failover based clustering at the Application Server layer using clustering services
- At the database layer by utilising cluster aware databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL or Oracle

Memorial Tower – Louisiana State University
Memorial Tower, or the Campanile as it is sometimes called, is a 175 foot clock tower in the center of Louisiana State University's campus in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. Erected in 1923 and officially dedicated in 1926, it stands as a memorial to Louisianans who died in World War I. Upon entering the tower, visitors find the rotunda of bronze plaques bearing the names of 1,447 fallen Louisiana World War I soldiers, to whom the tower is dedicated. The inside of the tower is also home to a military museum. Each quarter hour, the LSU community can hear the sound of chimes coming from the bells of the clock tower. The Westminster Chimes are used each day until 10p.m. At noon, the University's alma mater is played.

SPIHT (Set Partition in Hierarchical Trees) is an image compression algorithm that exploits the inherent similarities across subbands in a wavelet decomposition of an image. It implies uniform quantization and bit allocation applied after wavelet decomposition.
The algorithm codes the most important (in the sense of MSE reduction) wavelet transform coefficients in priority, and transmits the bits so that an increasingly refined copy of the original image is obtained with time.
The order in which coefficients are transmitted is recovered on the decoder using information of comparisons and sets being examined for significance during the sort, sets are created using hierarchical tree structure, i.e. Set Partition in Hierarchical Trees.
One of the advantages with SPIHT is that it produces an (optimal) embedded bitstream. This means that the bitstream can be truncated at any instant, and is then guaranteed to yield the best possible reconstruction.

Final touches on linear independence
Final touches on linear independence
Correctness of the dimension definition
The main definition of linear dependence is of type
(1) \sum_{j=1}^ma_jx^{(j)}=0 for some nonzero a\in R^m (a non-trivial annihilating set of coefficients exists).
Exercise 1. Prove that the main definition is equivalent to the following: vectors x^{(1)},...,x^{(m)}\in R^n are called linearly dependent if one of them can be expressed as a linear combination of the others.
Proof. This exercise is about passing from (1) to
(2) x^{(j)}=\sum_{i\neq j}b_ix^{(i)} (one is a function of the others).
If there is dependence of the first type, it can be solved for a vector whose coefficient is different from zero. Dependence of the second type can be converted to the first type by sending everything to one side.
Application. In multiple regression, we try to explain the behavior of a random vector y with the help of the vectors x^{(1)},...,x^{(m)} (called regressors) and a random vector u
(3) y=a_1x^{(1)}+...+a_mx^{(m)}+u.
Suppose that these regressors are linearly dependent. By Exercise 1, we can plug x^{(j)} in (3) and the behavior of y can be explained with the help of a smaller number of regressors. After eliminating all regressors that depend on the others, we obtain a more economical model. See a related discussion.
Exercise 2 (going from a small system to large and back) a) If some subsystem of x^{(1)},...,x^{(m)} is linearly dependent, then the whole system is linearly dependent. b) If the system x^{(1)},...,x^{(m)} is linearly independent, then any its subsystem is linearly independent.
Proof. a) If we have a non-trivial annihilating set of coefficients for a subsystem, it can be completed with zeros to obtain a non-trivial annihilating set of coefficients for the whole system. b) Proof by contradiction. Assume that some subsystem is linearly dependent. Then by part a) the whole system is too.
Theorem (correctness of the dimension definition) Any basis in R^n consists of n vectors.
The proof in Halmos (Finite-dimensional vector spaces, Springer, 1987) is the shortest I could find. To understand it, you will need Exercise 2. I don't give the proof here because I don't find it to be of general interest. Note that the theorem itself is important for any statement involving the dimension notion.
Using square matrices to study non-square ones
We'll need the upper bound on the rank:
(1) \text{rank}(A)\leq \min \{n,k\} if A is of size n\times k.
Exercise 3. \text{rank}(A^T)=\text{rank}(A^TA).
Proof. We know that R^n=N(A^T)\oplus\text{Img}(A). Applying A^T to both sides we get \text{Img}(A^T)=\text{Img}(A^TA). [In detail: any x\in R^n can be represented as x=y+z, where y\in N(A^T), z\in\text{Img}(A), z=Au for some u. Hence, applying A^T, we get A^Tx=A^Ty+A^Tz=A^Tz=A^TAu. When x runs over R^n, the left side runs over \text{Img}(A^T), while the right side runs over \text{Img}(A^TA).] If two subspaces coincide, their dimensions are the same.
Exercise 4. In R^n any set of vectors x^{(1)},...,x^{(m)} with m>n is linearly dependent.
Proof. Put X=(x^{(1)},...,x^{(m)}). X is of size n\times m. By Exercise 3 and (1)
(2) \text{rank}(X^TX)=\text{rank}(X^T)\leq n

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?


text: Static and dynamic characteristics of a mixed flow pump were measured at low flow rate, where the steady characteristic curves show a positive slope. Unsteady flow was measured at upstream and downstream of impeller, as well as on the casing wall of diffuser passage by using a fast response five-hole pitot tube and semi-conductor type pressure transducers. Dynamic response of the pump to the sinusoidal change in flow rate was measured under constant rotational speed. As a result of the unsteady flow measurements, the positive slope of steady characteristic was found to be caused by the impeller tip separation, inlet backflow, and pre-rotation. Moreover, the dynamic characteristics of the pump were found to become unstable with the increased frequency of flow rate.

1: Hard
I have nine coins in my pocket. Some of these are 2p pieces and the others are 5p pieces. I am contemplating buying some buns. I notice that I can buy four buns without requiring any change but, although I can afford them, I do not have the coins to buy five buns without needing to get change. How much does a bun cost and how many coins are there of each type?
Dr Lynda White, Principal Teaching Fellow in Experimental Design, Department of Mathematics
See the answer
See the answer
Solution: A bun costs six pence and there are 4 two pence coins (and 5 five pence coins).
We can infer from the wording of the question that the number of two pence coins is one of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, and correspondingly 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 or 2 for five pence coins.
We are looking for a total value of coins which is a multiple of 5 but which cannot be attained exactly using the two and five piece coins and which therefore require change. In addition, the corresponding multiple of 4 must be attainable exactly.
When the number of two pence coins is 2, 5, 6 or 7, a straightforward check shows that all total costs which are affordable multiples of 5 can be attained exactly so we do not have a solution here.
When the number of two pence coins is 3, all total costs which are affordable multiples of 5 can be attained exactly except for 35. This would lead to a bun price of 7 pence but 28 pence (which would be the cost of 4 buns) is also not attainable. Again, there is no solution.
However, when there are 4 two pence coins we find that all total costs which are affordable multiples of 5 can be attained exactly except for 30. This leads to a bun price of 6 pence and we see that 24 pence (=2+2+5+5+5+5), the price of 4 buns, can be attained exactly. This is the only solution.
2: Very hard
I keep all my worldly wealth in a numbered Swiss bank account. Recently, the bank decided that all account numbers must have between 30 and 80 digits and may not start with a zero. It's complicated, but I can work mine out each time I need it. If I multiply my number by nine I get the same number with the last digit shifted to the front (so that, for example, 134689 would become 913468). Can you help me work out my account number?
Professor Jonathan Mestel, Professor of Applied Mathematics, Department of Mathematics
See the answer
See the answer
Solution: 10112359550561797752808988764044943820224719
Digit by digit construction:
If an integer has the same number of digits when it is multiplied by 9, it must start with a 1. Its next digit must be either a 0 or a 1. However 11… would give 99… when multiplied by 9 which wouldn't work, as putting a 9 in front would give 911… So the only possibility is that the first two digits are 10:
First two digits are 10
and the product must begin with a 9. This means the last digit is 9. When we multiply by 9 we find 9*9 = 81 so the last digit of the product must be 1, carrying 8 towards the next digit and
The last two digits are 19.
Continuing in this manner we have 9 x 1 + carry over 8 = 7 carry 1, 9 x 7 + 1 = 4 carry 6 so that
The last 4 digits are 4719.
Continuing the backwards construction, we have
9 x 4 + 6 (carried over) = 42 = 2 carry 4
9 x 2 + 4 (carried over) = 2 carry 2
9 x 2 + 2 (carried over) = 0 carry 2
9 x 0 + 2 (carried over) = 2 carry 0
So currently we have 9 x 10………20224719 = 910…….._PHONE_
….and carrying on in this manner (9x2 +0 = 8 carry 1 etc) we eventually find the solution of 44 digits:
Incidentally, instead of terminating after 44, we could have continued the process, going round the loop once more. This would duplicate the 44 digit string giving us an 88 digit solution. 1011235955056179775280898876404494382022471910112359550561797752808988764044943820224719. But this is too large for the bank's specifications, thank goodness.
Construction of entire integer
To construct an integer with the required multiplication property, call it x and suppose it has k digits, with a last digit N. Then removing the last digit is equivalent to subtracting N and dividing by 10. We then put N at the front which is adding N x 10k-1. We deduce that
9x= (x-N)/10 + N(10k-1)
Or 90x = x-N +N(10k )
And solving for x
x = N(10k-1) / 89
This requires 10k - 1 to be divisible by 89. Using "Fermat's Little Theorem", since 89 is prime, this happens for k = 88 (and possibly for smaller values of k which divide 88). We know N = 9 giving a possible solution
x = 9(1088-1)/89 = 1011235955056179775280898876404494382022471910112359550561797752808988764044943820224719
However 88 digits is too long given the specification.
By inspection, we spot the smaller solution 10112359550561797752808988764044943820224719.
Note (1088-1) = (1044-1)(1044 + 1) and 1044 + 1 = _PHONE_……001 which on multiplication appends a 44 digit number to itself. So provided 89 divides 1044 - 1 and not 1044 + 1, we have a smaller solution.
3: Fiendish
A medieval farmer is in their house and needs to get water from a river and then take the water to animals in a barn. The farmer would like to take the shortest route to the barn, but doesn't know about calculus (as it hasn't yet been invented). The farmer's house is 400 yards west of the river, which runs north-south, and the barn is 200 yards west of the river, but 800 yards further north than the house. How can the farmer work out the shortest path, and how long will that path be?
Dr Daniel Mortlock, Lecturer in Astro-Statistics, Department of Physics
See the answer
See the answer
Solution: 1000 yards
There are several ways to solve this problem that don't involve calculus. The simplest is to imagine a "copy" of the barn that is at the same north-south position (i.e., 800 yards north of the farm) but 200 yards to the *east* of the river. The quickest route is then, obviously (at least assuming the farmer knows about Euclid) a straight line from the house to the "copy" barn. The implied path to the real barn is then like the farmer "bouncing" off the river like light off a mirror. The distance is given by Pythagoras's theorem as [(400 yards + 200 yards)^2 + (800 yards)^2]^(1/2) = 1000 yards. (It's actually a classic "3-4-5" triangle, albeit a bit disguised.)

Legislated FCSS Requirements
FCSS Program Requirements
Below are some of the guidelines for FCSS programs. For a full listing of programs, services and approaches that generally meet the FCSS Act, please refer to the FCSS Program Advice Inventory (pdf).
FCSS funded programs must also do one or more of the following:
- Help people to develop independence, strengthen coping skills and become more resistant to crisis.
- Help people to develop awareness of social needs.
- Help people to develop interpersonal and group skills which enhance constructive relationships among people.
- Help people and communities to assume responsibility for decisions and actions which affect them.
- Provide supports that help sustain people as active participants in the community.
FCSS must not fund services that:
- Provide primarily for the recreational needs or leisure time pursuits of individuals,
- Offer direct assistance, including money, food, clothing or shelter, to sustain an individual or family,
- Are rehabilitative in nature (as that is in conflict with "prevention"), or
- Duplicate services that are ordinarily provided by a government or government agency.
As is the case with all funded programs, Red Deer and District FCSS is required to meet outcomes and financial accountability as set by the Province. On a random basis, the Red Deer & District FCSS program is audited directly by provincial FCSS staff with the last audit being in 2013.

Getting Started with Pipelines
Create and run your first Tekton Pipeline
This tutorial shows you how to:
 - Create two Tasks.
 - Create a Pipeline containing your Tasks.
 - Use PipelineRun to instantiate and run the Pipeline containing your Tasks.
For this tutorial we are going to use minikube to run the commands locally.
Prerequisites
 1. Complete the Getting started with Tasks tutorial. Do not clean up your resources, skip the last section.
 2. Install tkn, the Tekton CLI.
Create and run a second Task
You already have a Hello World! Task. To create a second Goodbye World! Task:
 1. Create a new file named goodbye-world.yaml and add the following content:
 apiVersion: _URL_
 kind: Task
 metadata:
 name: goodbye
 spec:
 steps:
 - name: goodbye
 image: ubuntu
 script: |
 #!/bin/bash
 echo "Goodbye World!"

 2. Apply your Task file:
 kubectl apply --filename goodbye-world.yaml

When a Task is part of a Pipeline you don't have to instantiate it, the Pipeline is going to take care of that.
Create and run a Pipeline
A Pipeline defines an ordered series of Tasks arranged in a specific execution order as part of your CI/CD workflow.
In this section you are going to create your first Pipeline, that will include both the Hello World! and Goodbye World! Tasks.
 1. Create a new file named hello-goodbye-pipeline.yaml and add the following content:
 apiVersion: _URL_
 kind: Pipeline
 metadata:
 name: hello-goodbye
 spec:
 tasks:
 - name: hello
 taskRef:
 name: hello
 - name: goodbye
 runAfter:
 - hello
 taskRef:
 name: goodbye

 2. Apply your Pipeline configuration to your cluster:
 kubectl apply --filename hello-goodbye-pipeline.yaml

 3. Instantiate your Pipeline with a PipelineRun object. Create a new file named hello-goodbye-pipeline-run.yaml with the following content:
 apiVersion: _URL_
 kind: PipelineRun
 metadata:
 name: hello-goodbye-run
 spec:
 pipelineRef:
 name: hello-goodbye

 4. Start your Pipeline by applying the PipelineRun configuration to your cluster:
 kubectl apply --filename hello-goodbye-pipeline-run.yaml

 You see the following output:
 _URL_-goodbye-run created

 Tekton now starts running your Pipeline.
 5. To see the logs of the PipelineRun, use the following command:
 tkn pipelinerun logs hello-goodbye-run -f -n default

 The output shows both Tasks completed successfully:
 [hello : hello] Hello World!

 [goodbye : goodbye] Goodbye World!

Cleanup
To delete the cluster that you created for this quickstart run:
minikube delete
The output confirms that your cluster was deleted:
🔥 Deleting "minikube" in docker ...
🔥 Deleting container "minikube" ...
🔥 Removing /home/user/.minikube/machines/minikube ...
💀 Removed all traces of the "minikube" cluster.

Secondary Transfer FAQ
 - When is the Open Transfer Period for the District?
 The transfer request window is March 1st – March 31st. The district has communicated the window on the District webpage.
 How does a parent initiate a transfer? Fort Worth ISD has created an online application process to apply for a transfer. Families will submit an online transfer application indicating their 1st and 2nd choice. Please note that the District has implemented a lottery system for the 2021-2022 Student Transfer process.
 Can a parent pick any campus to request a transfer?
 A parent may choose a campus that has space available and is not a "School of Choice".
 Are parents guaranteed the transfer on behalf of the student if they picked a school not "LIMITED"? No, transfers are based on board policy (FDB Local), eligibility criteria and campus capacity by grade level. Transfers will be selected utilizing the lottery system.
 1. A PEG student applying from a school within the District.
 2. A resident sibling of a resident student currently enrolled at the requested school.
 3. A child of a resident District employee.
 4. A resident of the District, but residing outside the attendance area of the requested school.
 5. A child of a nonresident District employee.
 6. A PEG student applying from a school outside the District.
 7. A nonresident student, subject to tuition.
 Provided that a school or grade level has not reached capacity, a transfer request shall be considered and granted based on the following characteristics of each applicant, in this order of priority:
 If a student did not get into a POC or SOC and wants to transfer, what is important to know?
 Fort Worth ISD promotes the student distribution model of neighborhood and choice lottery schools. As a process, each school in the district serves a specific neighborhood within that school's attendance zone. The requested transfer campus must have available space and your request must meet eligibility requirements outlined in board policy, FDB Local. A transfer request is not automatically granted.
 Can a parent's non-POC or non-SOC student participate in a choice program?
 No, a student accepted through a transfer will not be under consideration to participate in the POC offered at the campus. POC participation is through the Choice application and waiting list only.
 When will parents know if their child's transfer request is granted?
 The initial assignment will be completed by April 19, 2021. However, the process will remain open, for rolling placements, until approved number of enrollment slots are filled or waiting list is complete. The final day to assign a student by transfer is June 11, 2021. On June 11, 2021 the transfer process for the 2021-2022 school year will close. No more assignments will be made.
 What happens if a student is not granted a transfer? Who does the parent need to speak to?
 Transfer request approvals are very limited due to capacity parameters at our campuses. Your student will remain at their home campus for the 2021-2022 school year.

Vocational education and training in Romania
Short description
This short description contributes to better understanding of vocational education and training (VET) in Romania by providing an insight into its main features and highlighting system developments and current challenges.
Romanian VET offers diverse paths for learners. It comprises professional and technological programmes, regularly updated to combat low participation in lifelong learning and early leaving from education and training.
As many EU countries, Romania has an ageing population. This has an impact on VET, with an 8.5% decrease in the number of VET upper secondary schools since 2012/13. Efforts are being made to increase student participation, enable access to VET, and improve its quality and its relevance to the labour market. Recent system developments include the introduction of a dual VET form: it complements the work-based learning tradition in school-based programmes and aims at making VET a more attractive option for learners, while adapting training better to employer needs.

Rotationplasty is a type of autograft wherein a portion of a limb is removed, while the remaining limb below the involved portion is rotated and reattached. This procedure is used when a portion of an extremity is injured or involved with a disease, such as cancer.
Typically the ankle joint becomes the knee joint. The limb is rotated because the ankle flexes in the opposite direction compared to the knee. The benefit to the patient is that they have a functioning knee joint and can run and jump.
The operation is also called a Van-ness rotation.

Traditional Welsh foods
What are the traditional foods of Wales?
Unlike England where a number of culinary traditions filtered down from the upper levels of society, the traditional dishes of Wales literally grew from the land.
Reports from 1896 show that farmers and tenants survived on home-cured meat of domestic animals, home grown vegetables, dairy products and cereal-based dishes. Farmers and cottagers would fatten and slaughter at least one pig a year to provide a constant supply of salted bacon. On larger farms, a bullock or cow was killed and the meat shared between neighbouring farms.
Meat and Vegetables
Cattle provided milk to produce butter and cheese, and vegetables such as leeks, carrots, cabbages, herbs and, from the 18th century onwards, potatoes were grown. Wild fruits, plants, animals and birds were used when in season. Communities living close to coastal regions were able to vary their diet by collecting shellfish and seaweed to make laverbread.
The harsh landscape meant that oats and barley were the most common cereal crops, with wheat confined to the fertile lowlands. Oatmeal was one of the basic elements in the diet of the Welsh. Among the everyday foods served in most rural districts until the early 20th century were Llymru (flummery) and sucan (sowans), consisting of oatmeal steeped in cold water and buttermilk, boiled until thickened and served cool with milk or treacle, bwdram (thin flummery), uwd (porridge) and griwel blawd ceirch (oatmeal gruel).
Oat-bread was the most common bread to be eaten in Wales until the late 19th century. It was used in north Wales as a basic ingredient in cereal pottages such as picws mali (shot) or siot (shot); a popular light meal consisting of crushed oat-bread soaked in buttermilk. Br?es (brose) was a common dish in the agricultural areas of the north and was regularly prepared as a breakfast dish for the men-servants. It was made from crushed oat-bread steeped in meat stock and sprinkled with crushed oat-bread before serving.
Welsh rural society was largely self-supporting with the exception of sugar, salt, tea, rice and currants, which had to be purchased. Very little fresh fruit was bought and eggs were only eaten on very rare occasions.
The open hearth
The open fire was central to cooking throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, and in many rural homes well into the 20th century. Such limited cooking facilities also governed what could be prepared. Stews, joints of meat and puddings were boiled in a cooking pot or cauldron.
Pot ovens were used for roasting meat and baking cakes. Bakestones were widely used to bake oatcakes, drop scones, soda bread, pancakes and griddlecakes (such as Welsh Cakes).
Although the tradition of living off the land survived until a later period in the rural areas, change came with improved roads and modern shopping facilities, not to mention the arrival of fridges and home freezers. Today, the majority of these dishes are mostly eaten on special occasions as 'traditional food'.

A small tinplate screen, found in the industrial communities of both north and south Wales. Small pieces of meat were suspended from the hooks inside the curved, reflecting hood and the whole oven would sit on a trivet (an iron bracket) in front of the fire. It was also possible to bake tea-time favourites such as round cakes, or teisen lap in the shallow drip-tray.

A comfort object is an item used to provide psychological comfort, especially in unusual or unique situations or at bedtime for small children. Though many toddlers prefer a teddy bear or doll, a stuffed animal, a favorite blanket, or even a toy such as a dump truck could be a comfort object at some stages, as the notion is that the familiarity of said object will help the child feel better, go to sleep faster, or feel less stress in a new situation.
Comfort objects are very common among toddlers and preschool aged children, and while some give them up soon after entering school, the age at which one no longer needs a comfort object varies, as does the time one might need one. Some teenagers have been known to still sleep with comfort objects, though they will probably not talk to them as a small child might. Even adults can use comfort objects at times, as elderly people in nursing homes have been known to be comforted after being given a stuffed bear or doll. The theory is that this reminds them of the more serene moments of childhood.

text: As a typical multilinear dimensionality reduction (DR) method, tensor locality preserving projection (TLPP) has been successfully applied in many practical problems. However, TLPP depends mainly on preserving its local neighbor graph which often suffers from the following issues: (1) the neighbor graph is constructed with the Euclidean distance which fails to consider the relationships among different coordinates for tensor data; (2) the affinity matrix only focuses on the local structure information of samples while ignoring the existing label information; (3) the projection matrices are nonorthogonal, thus it is difficult to preserve the local manifold structure. To address these problems, a multilinear DR algorithm called optimal neighbor graph-based orthogonal tensor locality preserving projection (OG-OTLPP) is proposed. In OG-OTLPP, an optimal neighbor graph is first built according to tensor distance. Then the affinity matrix of data is defined by utilizing both the label information and the intrinsic local geometric properties of the data. Finally, in order to improve the manifold preserving ability, an efficient and stable scheme is designed to iteratively learn the orthogonal projections. We evaluate the proposed algorithm by applying it to image recognition. The experimental results on five public image databases demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm.

Ferrari recently announced plans to release its first all-electric supercar in 2025. As exciting as that is, it also raises a lot of questions. Chief among them: how will an electric Ferrari sound? Ferrari fans may be relieved to learn that the Italian carmaker is looking into potentially utilizing the same technology used by the Dodge Fratzonic – a sound generator designed to give electric cars a more traditional engine roar. In this blog post, we explore this technology and what it could mean for future Ferrari EVs.
What is the Ferrari EVs?
Ferrari EVs could have Dodge Fratzonic exhaust-like sound generator. This would use a speaker system to create the noise that an electric car typically makes, which is much quieter than a gas car. It's unclear if this is something that Ferrari is actually considering, or if it's just an idea that someone at the company had.
What is the Dodge Fratzonic?
The Dodge Fratzonic is a sound generator that creates an exhaust-like noise to make Ferrari EVs sound more like traditional gas-powered cars. The device, which is about the size of a smartphone, attaches to the back of the car and uses sensors to detect when the car is accelerating or decelerating. It then produces a noise that is similar to a car engine revving up or down.
How do the two compare?
As electric vehicles become more and more prevalent, carmakers are having to find new ways to differentiate their EVs from the competition. One way that Ferrari is looking to set its EVs apart is with an exhaust-like sound generator that will give them a unique sound.
The sound generator, which has been christened the "Ferrari Fratzonic Exhaust-Like Sound Generator", is designed to produce a noise that is similar to that of a traditional internal combustion engine. This should help to make the EVs more appealing to buyers who are used to the sounds of gasoline-powered cars.
Ferrari isn't the only company working on this technology. Dodge has also developed an exhaust-like sound generator for its EVs. However, there are some key differences between the two systems.
For starters, the Ferrari system is much more compact than the Dodge system. This is due in part to the fact that it uses an array of speakers instead of a single speaker like the Dodge system.
The Ferrari system also produces a wider range of sounds than the Dodge system. This allows drivers to choose from a variety of different engine noises, depending on their mood or preference.
In terms of price, the Ferrari system is significantly more expensive than the Dodge system. However, given the added functionality and unique sound that it offers, many buyers may feel that it is worth the extra cost.

Might As Well Jump
Laszlo Laufer and Bottyan Nemeth, two Hungarian researchers at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, have found that gamer's button pressing is predicatable two seconds beforehand based on skin conductance. Using a basic game called YetiSports JungleSwing that involves a yeti jumping from tree to tree, they measured volunteer's heart rate, skin conductance and electrical activity. After analysis of the data, they found that skin conductance by itself is enough to predict a jump two seconds before the player does it.
They think the technology could have useful applications for pilots among others, helping to speed up reaction time. They also see usefulness in computer games that could incessantly piss you off by predicting your next move. Sensors could probably easily be built into the next generation of console controllers with feedback actually affecting gameplay. To what extent is obviously unknown, but this should come in handy when somebody creates a game where you have to fight a gun-wielding psychic.

LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT
In Australia, each jurisdiction has its own laws and policies for responding to FDV, whilst the Australian Government takes a lead in developing national approaches to policy. More information on the policy context for FDV can be found in the Conceptual Framework for Family and Domestic Violence, Australia, 2009 (cat. no. 4529.0).
Most Australian Government FDV service delivery occurs through funding arrangements with states and territories, however reporting obligations mean that there are also a number of Australian Government level data sources. National data sources have been included where available from Australian Government agencies, such as those relating to FDV services provided in the Family Court context and the drawing together of state and territory information related to homelessness services and coronial inquests. In addition, national data sources based on surveys run by or on behalf of the Australian Government to inform FDV policy areas have been included.
At the state and territory level, governments are primarily responsible for crime prevention programs, law enforcement, issuing of family violence orders, prosecution of FDV perpetrators, behavioural change programs within Corrective Services, delivery of public health, disability and medical services and provision of child protection services and other specific FDV services. Each state and territory agency that provides FDV services is a potential source of data. Further information about FDV support and services delivered by each jurisdiction, including the Australian Government is outlined in the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children.

Characterization of the mitral valve using accelerated wear testing
Riggan, Courtney N.
MetadataShow full item record
There is a fundamental need for a better kind of long-term testing for artificial heart valves along with a biologically equivalent artificial mitral valve. Accelerated wear testing has been used for a long period of time in the engineering field to test the failure modes of materials and devices, but has not been widely accepted in the medical device area. The mitral valve is difficult to get to and therefore little is known about the leaflet motion. The lab has obtained a closed-system, compact, accelerated wear testing apparatus designed for aortic valves, and nothing is known about the device. The lab deals exclusively with mitral valves. The objective of this study is to characterize and fully understand this accelerated wear testing apparatus, to modify it to run with mitral valves and to define the mitral valve motion using pressure waveforms and leaflet motion. This was achieved by calibrating and verifying the device using an aortic valve with a known pressure curve. The device was then modified to fit mitral valves and the motor motion was measured to characterize the movement of the apparatus. A pressure waveform was then obtained for the mitral valve. Images of the mitral valve were obtained for these pressures and orifice area was calculated. This information gives a clear understanding about the design and function of the device and of the mitral valve.
