text: A novel Zn2+-selective visible wavelength fluoroionophore (FluoZin-3, 9) was synthesized. The chelating portion of the molecule resembles known EGTA-based Ca2+-selective fluoroionophores, except that one of the N-acetic acid moieties has been deleted in 9. FluoZin-3 is virtually non-fluorescent in the absence of Zn2+, and exhibits a several hundred-fold fluorescence increase upon saturation with Zn2+( approximately 100 nM), with a Kd = 15 +/- 2 nM. A 1:1 binding stoichiometry of 9:Zn2+ was determined, and the fluorescence of the complex is pH-independent at pH > 6. FluoZin-3 was used to monitor Zn2+ that was co-secreted with insulin from pancreatic beta-cells by exocytosis following stimulation with glucose. The total Zn2+ concentration near the cells reached 600 nM, and Zn2+ was detectable at least 15 mum away from secreting cells. Heterogeneity in secretion among cells was indicated in that some cells in a cluster did not release Zn2+. Also, within secreting cells some regions of the cell membrane gave rise to secretion while others did not, suggesting active zones of secretion on the cell surface.

Position Slow Mode (Multicopter)
PX4 v1.15

Position Slow mode is a velocity and yaw rate limited version of the regular Position mode.
The mode works in exactly the same way as Position mode but with the controller stick deflection re-scaled to lower maximum velocities (and proportionally lower acceleration). You can use it to quickly slow down the vehicle to a safe speed (if it is moving faster than the maximum velocity in the limited axis). You can also use it to get more precision from stick input, in particular when flying close to obstacles, or to comply with regulations such as EASA's low-speed mode/function.
The velocity limits can be set using parameters, from an RC Controller rotary knob, slider, or switch, or using MAVLink. Limits set using an RC controller override those set by MAVLink, which in turn override those set using parameters. The limits can only be reduced below those for normal Position mode.
Set Limits using Parameters
The maximum values for slow mode horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, and yaw rate can be set using parameters. This approach is useful when the maximum desired speed in slow mode is fixed, and you just want to be able to quickly drop to a safer speed range (perhaps using a switch on your controller).
The table below shows the parameters used to set the maximum values for Position slow mode and Position mode, respectively, along with their default values.
AxisPosition slow modePosition mode
Horizontal velocityMC_SLOW_DEF_HVEL (3 m/s)MPC_VEL_MANUAL (10 m/s)
Vertical velocityMC_SLOW_DEF_VVEL (1 m/s)MPC_Z_VEL_MAX_UP (3 m/s) / MPC_Z_VEL_MAX_DN (1.5 m/s)
Yaw rateMC_SLOW_DEF_YAWR (45 °/s)MPC_MAN_Y_MAX (150 °/s)
From this you can see, for example, that when switching from Position mode to Position slow mode, the default maximum upward horizontal velocity is reduced from 10 m/s to 3 m/s. If traveling faster than 3 m/s horizontally you'd be slowed to 3 m/s.
Note that the parameters are used only if limits are not provided by from RC or MAVLink.
Set Limits using RC Control
You can map a rotary knob, slider, or switch, on a RC Controller to set the maximum velocity of an axis (horizontal/vertical/yaw). This approach is useful when the appropriate slow-mode maximum values can vary while flying.
If the input control is set to its highest value the vehicle will go as fast as in Position mode. If the input is set to its lowest value, the vehicle maximum velocity is set to the value in the corresponding MC_SLOW_MIN_ parameter (shown in the table below). If an RC control input is mapped for an axis it has priority over all other inputs.
The table below lists each axis along with the parameter used to select which RC AUX channel corresponds to the control knob, and the parameter that sets the lowest possible "maximum value" for the axis.
AxisParameter to map auxiliary inputParameter for minimum value of maximum velocity
Horizontal velocityMC_SLOW_MAP_HVELMC_SLOW_MIN_HVEL
Vertical velocityMC_SLOW_MAP_VVELMC_SLOW_MIN_VVEL
Yaw rateMC_SLOW_MAP_YAWRMC_SLOW_MIN_YAWR
To use this approach:
 1. Make sure you have a remote with an extra input and an extra RC channel to transmit it's position.
 2. Map the channel which contains the knobs position as one of the 6 auxiliary passthrough inputs by setting RC_MAP_AUXn to the corresponding RC channel number.
 3. Map that auxiliary input using the appropriate MC_SLOW_MAP_ parameter for the axis you want it to control (see table above).
For example, if you want to map RC channel 8 to limit the horizontal velocity you could set RC_MAP_AUX1 to the value 8 and MC_SLOW_MAP_HVEL to the value 1. The RC input from channel 8 then sets a horizontal velocity limit between MC_SLOW_MIN_HVEL and MPC_VEL_MANUAL.
You can adjust the velocity limits using the MAVLink message SET_VELOCITY_LIMITS. This approach is used primarily by automatic systems, for example to slow a vehicle when zooming a camera.
The message can set the maximum value on any of the axes by supplying a non-NAN limit value. This overrides limit values set in parameters, but is ignored if the axis is mapped to an RC knob. The value can be updated from a message at any time, and is latched until either the next message or a mode switch.
Note that PX4 does not provide velocity limit telemetry (i.e. it does not support streaming the VELOCITY_LIMITS message).

Mystery Bug Answers
Mystery Picture #13
Scorpions pack a punch in their tails. The front pinchers are used to grab and hold their preyusually small insects. While we typically think of them in hot deserts or tropical jungles, there is a species that occurs in much of Kentucky and over the southeast. To read more about our Kentucky scorpion, Centruroides vittatus,jump to Scorpions in Kentucky.
The Wheelbug is a beneficial insect with piercing sucking mouthparts. Its sharp beak, extending from the front of its head, is usually carried in a groove along its body between the legs, so it does not show up well in this picture. The front legs are fitted for grabbing prey (usually caterpillars)- much like a praying mantis does. The common name of this insect comes from the back hump which resembles half of a gear wheel.

Make the end of our
Bourbon's Journey
Just as refined as the beginning
While our bourbons are designed to bring an air of craft to any cocktail, a little technique can go a long way, as well. To help you learn the tricks and blending styles of our finest mixologists, we've created the handy guide below with six techniques to make you a better bartender.
Technique 1:
When crafting many types of cocktails, from the Bourbon Smash to the Mint Julep, you'll need to extract juice from fruit pulp and essential oils from herbs and citrus peels. In other words, muddling is a must. Before you begin, you'll need a muddler—a small metal or wooden pestle resembling a miniature baseball bat. Next, start by combining your fresh ingredients at the bottom of a mixing glass. Then use your muddler to press them together, releasing the flavors and allowing them to mingle with your other ingredients once added.
Technique 2:
In recent years, layering has become more and more popular, like in the Black Cherry Cooler. To layer a drink, individually pour the ingredients in a shot glass in order from heaviest to lightest. To prevent them from mixing together, carefully pour over a barspoon (or teaspoon). Because ingredients differ in density, the layers will stay separate. However, before you begin, you'll need to know how heavy your ingredients are in relation to one another. As a rule of thumb, the lower the proof of the alcohol, the heavier the ingredient is. For instance, grenadine (non-alcoholic) is heavier than Jim Beam Black® (86 proof/43% abv) which is heavier than Jim Beam® Bonded (100 proof/50% abv).
Technique 3:
Shaking came into prominence in the mid-1800s and has since become an undeniable trademark of cocktail society. Utter the phrase, "Shaken, not stirred." and everyone who's anyone will know exactly what you're referencing. A less well-known tidbit is that there are many types of shakers—the traditional three-part cobbler shaker, the more modern two-part Boston shaker and the French shaker, to name a few. No matter which kind of shaker you choose, start by pouring in your ingredients and then fill the shaker a third or halfway with ice. Next, seal the shaker and shake rhythmically until the outside feels cold enough. Finally, strain the shaker's contents into the proper glass. Just remember not to shake carbonated ingredients, except for in special circumstances.
Technique 4:
This is a less common cocktail mixing technique, but some drinks simply can't be made without an electric blender. Drinks calling for fresh fruit or ice pulp, like a Kentucky Margarita, should always be made this way. Simply add your ingredients to a blender with smashed ice. Then blend for about 10 to 30 seconds before pouring the blended cocktail directly into the proper glass.
Technique 5:
Ever made a Jim Beam®& Cola? That's building, and it's the simplest way to make a cocktail. To build your drink, carefully pour all the ingredients in the glass (generally over ice) and enjoy. Since carbonated ingredients like soda generally shouldn't be shaken, cocktails involving them will usually use this technique.
Technique 6:
Stirring is a classic method for mixing cocktails like the Manhattan. To begin, pour your ingredients into a Yarai mixing glass and then fill the rest of the way with ice. Next, stir well with a barspoon until your drink is well chilled and mixed. And finally, strain your cocktail into the proper glass.
practice makes damn good drinks
Now that you know the basics, you're all set to begin perfecting your methods on our extenisve list of cocktails or, of course, to try your hand at inventing few drinks of your own


Risk-based Authentication

 - Client Reputation. An RBA module that uses a sophisticated risk-analysis engine to compute a set of "risk scores" for each IP address that tries to access your site. These scores can be used to initiate "step-up" authentication for users deemed to be high-risk (i.e., more likely to engage in web attacks).


Rêve D Reve D RD-003-35 Aluminum Knuckle Stopper for RD-001 ASL Front Knuckle (3.5mm diameter, 2pcs)
Beschikbaarheid: Op voorraad (1)
RWD drift cars generally use a knuckle stopper (steering stopper) to adjust the maximum turning angle, but when maximizing the turning angle, many people use M3 set screws.
Even with the M3 set screw, the function of the stopper works, but the surface of the screw will hinder the movement of the suspension at the maximum turning angle.
This is where the [Aluminum Knuckle Stopper] comes into play!
Unlike the M3 set screw, the surface has no irregularities, so it does not hinder the movement of the suspension even at the maximum turning angle.
Furthermore, since it is made of lightweight aluminum, it is also effective in reducing weight by replacing it with an iron set screw.
The lineup consists of a Φ3.0mm and Φ3.5mm diameter part.
In addition to Φ3.0mm which realizes the maximum steering angle, Φ3.5mm which is an option when you want to control the steering angle only slightly is prepared.
Φ3.5mm is effective when the commercially available Φ4.0mm has insufficient steering angle and Φ3.0mm has too much angle!
If you are currently using an M3 set screw as a stopper or want to increase the steering angle more than a φ4.0mm stopper, please try it.
Screw 4.5mm
Pedestal diameter 5.5mm
Length from base to tip 16mm
Hexagonal hole dimensions 1.5mm across flats
* Above dimensions are suitable for RD-001 ASL Front Knuckle.
* If you use for the other knuckles, please check the dimensions of the knuckle, wheel before purchasing

'Cursing stone' discovered on Isle of Canna
London, May 20 (ANI): An ancient stone that was discovered by chance on the Isle of Canna is Scotland's first known example of a bullaun "cursing stone", according to experts.
Dating from about 800 AD, the stones are associated with early Christian crosses - of which there is one on the isle.
It was found in an old graveyard by a National Trust for Scotland (NTS) farm manager.
The stone about 25cm in diameter and engraved with an early Christian cross fits exactly into a large rectangular stone with a worn hole, which was located at the base of the Canna cross.
NTS manager of Canna, Stewart Connor, said the importance of the stone became clear after he was notified of the discovery.
"We knew of the importance of bullaun stones and that it could be a really significant find," the BBC quoted him as saying.
"Our head of archaeology confirmed a possible link to the stone at the cross and I was so excited that I went back out at 9pm that night to check whether it fitted the stone with the hole and it did," he said.
Katherine Forsyth, an expert in the history and culture of early Celtic-speaking peoples, based at the University of Glasgow, described it as an "amazing find".
"Stones like this are found in Ireland, where they are known as 'cursing stones', but this is the first to be discovered in Scotland," she said.
"They date from the early Christian period but have continued to be used by pilgrims up to modern times.
"Traditionally, the pilgrim would recite a prayer while turning the stone clockwise, wearing a depression or hole in the stone underneath," she said.
Dr Forsyth said bowl-shaped lower stones had been found elsewhere in Scotland, including on Canna, but this was the first discovery of a top stone.
"This exciting find provides important new insight into religious art and practice in early Scotland and demonstrates just how much there is still to be discovered out there," she added. (ANI)

Tricky Trilogiport Bridge for ALE
By Laura Hatton06 March 2015
Heavy lift and specialized transport service provider ALE helped complete the installation of the Trilogiport Bridge in Visé, Belgium.
The bridge was 300 metres long and comprised five sections, each weighing between 221 tonnes and 737 tonnes. The bridge pieces were installed in five stages, with the first two by land and the final three over water; this was carried out using a barge and jacking combination.
Using 24 axle lines of self propelled modular transporter (SPMT), the first bridge section was moved to its final position. The piece weighed 579 tonnes. Once in place it was jacked up 6.5 m and lowered into position using climbing jacks. The second section weighed 318 tonnes and was moved using 20 axle lines of SPMT. Once in place it was jacked up to a height of 9 m using ALE's jacking system.
The third section of the bridge was installed using a combination of 24 axle lines of SPMT on two coupled barges and the ALE jacking system. To get into position, the section was loaded out onto the barge and floated out onto the river. Once in place, it was jacked up to a height of 10.5 m from the water line, before being floated into position and lowered onto its supports.
To install the final two sections, the barge was floated under the existing bridge, the Pont de Hermalle sous-Argenteau. Using the same barge combination as before, the fourth section was jacked up to a height of 10.5 m using ALE's jacking system, while section five was lifted using four 70 tonne strand jacks that were previously installed on bridge sections three and four.
Hans de Hoon, ALE project manager, said, "This particular project involved installing five bridge sections, with three weighing over 500 tonnes, within only three months. Because of the bridge's length and the different locations we decided to split this project into eleven phases of execution, which we believed worked extremely effectively.
"This is a great start to 2015 and we are very pleased with the hard work carried out by the team to ensure that all five sections were installed safety and on schedule."
The project started in January 2015 and was completed by February.

Create and run jobs as a non-root user
This document describes how to create and run a Batch job as a non-root user.
By default, Batch executes runnables as the root user. If you want Batch to execute runnables as a non-root user—for example, to run an application that doesn't allow root users or to meet security requirements—create a Batch job that uses OS Login. When you enable OS Login in a Batch job, OS Login configures a user account for you on the VMs that your job runs on. All runnables in the job are then executed by your user account on the VM instead of by the root user.
Before you begin
 1. If you haven't used Batch before, review Get started with Batch and enable Batch by completing the prerequisites for projects and users.
 2. If you haven't done so already, enable the OS Login API by running the following command:
 gcloud services enable oslogin.googleapis.com

 3. To get the permissions that you need to create and run a job as a non-root user, ask your administrator to grant you the following IAM roles:
 For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.
 You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.

Euro 6 Engines = Better Fuel Efficiency + More Power
Saves Money with Cleaner Exhaust
Let's take a look at the difference between the Fuel Consumption and Power Torque of a Toyota Hiace Euro 5 vs Euro 6 Engine!
EURO 6: Save Environment!
Do you know how much harmful emissions can Euro 6 reduce as compared to Euro 5?
Euro 6 is simply the latest standard that all new engines must be compliant with. It is particularly targeting nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by forcing vehicle manufacturers to reduce NOx output by more than 55% from Euro 5 standards. Euro 6 will also reduce carbon monoxide, particulate matter (PM, which is basically soot), sulphur dioxide and hydrocarbon. Euro 6 helps you to save some money as well as helping to reduce your carbon footprint.

I'm struggling with my Weather Machine project. It's almost done, but I can't create working button to switch between metric and imperial units. I think it's something about functions scope, because everything works nice separately, but doesn't want to run together.
Here's my Pen: _URL_
each function is described, I believe that issue is between getTemp() function and '#switch' button event handler.
I know the solution will probably be really simple, but I'm still missing it
you were declaring var with strings instead of referencing another variable.
also, there was a problem with var scope.
// calculate adn display right temperature
celsius = Math.floor(temp) + "° C";
fahrenheit = Math.floor( (temp) * 9/5 + 32 ) + "° F";
degrees = celsius
// switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit
(degrees === celsius) ? degrees = fahrenheit : degrees = celsius;
Thank you, now it works fine that was so stupid mistake of me

An old theorem of A. J. Wilkie (Some results and problems on weak systems of arithmetic, Logic Colloquium '77) asserts that a discretely ordered ring $R$ can be extended to a model of open induction if and only if for all $n>1$, there is a homomorphism from $R$ onto $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$.
Wilkie's proof proceeds by adjoining transcendental elements to $R$, but it is not clear that this is ever necessary:
Does every ring that extends to a model of open induction have an algebraic extension to a model of open induction?
Does anyone know anything about this? I know of no place in the literature where the question is even mentioned, although it has come up more than once in conversation.
Here is simple test-case: Let $R$ be the ring $\mathbb{Z}[t,\sqrt{2}t-r]$, where $r$ is a real transcendental and $t$ is an indeterminate. Order $R$ by declaring $t$ positive infinite. It is not hard to show that $R$ extends to a model of true arithmetic. I don't know if $R$ has an algebraic extension to a model of open induction.

Can you please explain what it means for a ring to "model open induction"? – Andrej Bauer May 7 '10 at 13:31
2 Answers 2
Andrej Bauer asked in a comment, "What is a model of open induction?" Let me give the most modern and relevant answer and then explain the term "open induction", which is somewhat archaic.
Let $F$ be an ordered field. An (ordered) subring $R$ of $F$ is called an "integer part" of $F$ if
 1. $R$ is discretely ordered: This means the inequality $x < y < x+1$ has no solution in $R$. Equivalently, nothing in $R$ lies between 0 and 1.
 2. For all $x\in F$ there is some $r\in R$ such that $r\le x < r+1$.
Item 2 is equivalent to saying that every element of $F$ is a finite distance from some element of $R$, where "finite" means bounded by an element of $\mathbb{Z}$. Remember that $F$ can and usually will be nonarchimedian.
Items 1 and 2 together imply that there is a unique function $\lfloor\cdot\rfloor$ from $F$ to $R$ given by the inequality $\lfloor x \rfloor \le x < 1+\lfloor x \rfloor$. Think of this as an abstract analog of the integer part operator.
A "model of open induction" is an integer part of a real closed field. Mourges and Ressayre proved that every real closed field has an integer part. The term "open induction" comes from a paper of Shepherdson, who started this whole topic by proving that an ordered ring $R$ is an integer part of its real closure if and only if the positive semiring of $R$ satisfies the axioms of Peano Arithmetic, with the induction axioms restricted to quantifier-free (i.e. open) formulas. Shepherdson also gave recursively presentable nonstandard models of open induction, which is interesting because according to Tennenbaum's Theorem there are no such models of Peano Arithmetic.
Since then there have been many successful attempts to build recursive nonstandard models of theories a little stronger than open induction. The champ, to-date, is a recursive nonstandard normal model of open induction, given in a paper by Otero and Berarducci. Here "normal" means integrally closed in its quotient field.
The main unsolved problems concerning open induction, in my opinion, are (1) Is the universal theory of open induction decidable (i.e. is it decidable whether a diophantine equation has a solution in some model of open induction) and (2) Is there a recursive non-standard diophantine correct model of open induction, where "diophantine correct" means "extends to a model of true arithmetic".
share|improve this answer
Interesting. In Brouwerian intuitionism the following is called "open induction", where $A \subseteq [0,1]$ is an open subset of the unit interval: $(\forall x \in [0,1]. (\forall y < x. y \in A) \implies x \in A) \implies [0,1] = A$. This seems unrelated to what you are talking about. – Andrej Bauer May 7 '10 at 15:27
I think this should have been edited into the question instead of posted as an answer. In any case, this should be community wiki. – François G. Dorais May 7 '10 at 22:42
I think that the answer in general is "no", and that this follows from results in a paper "Limit computable integer parts" by D'Aquino, Knight, and Lange (_URL_ Namely, by Theorem 3.5 and Remark 3, there exists a real-closed field $R$ with an element $r\in R$ and a $\mathbb Z$-ring $I\subseteq R$ such that no discretely ordered subring $I\subseteq J\subseteq R$ intersects $[r,r+1)$, but $b/i\in[r,r+1)$ for some $b,i\in I$. Then $I$ (being a $\mathbb Z$-ring) can be extended to a model of $\mathit{IOpen}$, but no such extension can be found in its real closure $\operatorname{rcl}(I)\subseteq R$ (since no discretely ordered $I\subseteq J\subseteq \operatorname{rcl}(I)$ can contain an integer part of $b/i$).
Caveat: the paper is so far an unpublished preprint, and I have actually serious doubts about its correctness. Namely, the claim "$\frac{p(a)}n+z$ cannot be in $(0,1)$" in the proof of the widely used Proposition 3.1 is unjustified, and in fact, I think that this proposition directly contradicts Example 2 (take $I=(x^2+1)\mathbb Q[x^2]+\mathbb Z$, $R=\operatorname{rcl}(\mathbb Q(x))$, and $a=x$; then conditions 2 and 3 hold as $I[x]=I+xI$ is easily seen to be discretely ordered, but condition 1 does not). However, I think that this does not affect the proof of Theorem 3.5, since all the elements which 3.1 is applied on there are (or can be taken to be) transcendental.
share|improve this answer
Emil, Thanks very much for the reference. I'm not sure that Example 2 DIRECTLY contradicts Proposition 3.1, because (in the example you gave) $\mathbb{Z}[(x^2+1)/4]$ is not a Z-ring, as Prop. 3.1 requires it to be. But I'll have to think about this. – SJR Feb 3 '11 at 17:12
Fair enough, thanks for pointing it out. Hopefully it's correct now. – Emil Jeřábek Feb 3 '11 at 18:25

The concrete shell is placed at the edge of the remainder of a plain along the Danube floodplains. Its basic measurements are 615 cm by 620 cm by 2230 cm. The concrete form is set on 4 supports – one one-legged element, two two-legged elements and one three-legged element. Its distance from the ground ranges from 120 cm to 210 cm.
A second form, soft, white and independent of the outer shell, is set within the concrete shell. The white form opens up and programs – makes habitable, if you wish – the concrete shell's inner area, which is 2165 cm long and approx. 515 cm high.

text: The objective of this work is the study of prehistoric agriculture during the Neolithic and the Bronze Age in a small region of Andalucía. Ethnographic models to archaeobotanical samples were applied. This was possible because small pockets of land where glume-wheat cultivation continues to date can be studied. Therefore a detailed analysis of glume-wheat husbandry and processing sequences was carried out. The result is an extension of the range of current ethnographic models used in archaeobotany for interpreting remains of crops and their weeds in terms of ancient husbandry practices.

Studying Hamilton's harbour invaders
A team of students in Sigal Balshine's Aquatic Behavioural Ecology Lab is working to better understand the invasive round goby fish found in Hamilton Harbour.
The students, both undergraduate and graduate, catch gobies at several locations around the bay and in Cootes Paradise. They then record the area in which the fish were caught, vital statistics such as their sex and size and water quality information.
The Aquatic Behavioural Ecology Lab researches the evolution of cooperation, parental care and breeding, sperm competition, species introductions and extinctions and the effects of contaminant exposure.
Pauline Capelle, in her third year studying biology and psychology, blogs about the lab's work as part of the School of Graduate Studies' new blog series.

They are part of a harm reduction approach towards drug problems. The facilities provide sterile injection equipment, information about drugs and basic health care, treatment referrals, and access to medical staff. Some offer counseling, hygienic and other services of use to itinerant and impoverished individuals. Most programs prohibit the sale or purchase of recreational drugs. Many require identification cards. Some restrict access to local residents and apply other admission criteria, such as only allowing injection drug users, but generally in Europe they do not exclude addicts who consume by other means.

Systems of Production in 1950s and 60s Spanish Architecture
(Supervisors: Marina Lathouri, Carlos Naya)
Technology reconfigures architectural strategies and concepts transforming methods of construction and affecting production processes and thereby, the way architects think and conceive architecture. This thesis reflects on the relationship between technology and architecture. In particular, it explores how mass-production and industrialization in the decades after WWII not only transformed the construction –or rather productionof architecture but also reconfigured the practice of architecture or architectural modes of thinking. Through the analysis of new methods of construction in Spain during the 1950s and 60s, the investigation examines the concept of component design and the resulting production and reproduction systems from a material, structural, formal and spatial perspective. Departing from systems of construction as case studies, the research evolves from the notion of prefabrication, towards open systems and ultimately to the relation between architecture and technology. Thus, regarding systems of production, it moves from the production of ideas to the reception of the production.

text: We sought to improve the feasibility of strain rate imaging (SRI) during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) in 56 subjects at low risk of coronary disease. The impact of several SRI changes during acquisition were studied, including: (1) changing from fundamental to harmonic imaging; (2) parallel beamforming; (3) alteration of spatial resolution and (4) narrow sector acquisition. We assessed SR signal quality, a quantitative measure of signal noise and measurements of SRI. Of 1462 segments evaluated, 6% were uninterpretable at rest and 8% at peak stress. Signal quality was optimised by increasing temporal (p = 0.01) and spatial resolution (p < 0.0001 vs. baseline imaging) at rest and peak. Increasing spatial resolution also minimised signal noise (p < 0.0001). Inter-observer variability of time to peak SR and peak SR were less with high temporal and spatial resolution. SRI quality can be improved with harmonic imaging and higher temporal resolution but optimisation of spatial resolution is critical.

Black and White Photography Exhibit showcases student work
Students, teachers and parents observed the work of Harvard-Westlake (HW) students in an aesthetic black and white photography exhibition in the Arlene Schnitzer Art Gallery in Wang Hall. Laid out before one's eyes was a very pleasing aesthetic of black and white contrasting images, developed using darkroom film techniques during class. The gallery was first presented Tuesday, Dec. 11, during break.
The exhibit featured work of several ninth graders expressing their creativity by using techniques such as using sharp contrasting lines and silhouettes to create striking modern art.
"I'm in Photography 1, so I was trying to understand the contrast between each item and how transparency works on the paper. I knew that I wanted a darker outline, so I used a more solid object to get that contrast, and for the whiter parts of my project, I used a cup that was transparent all the way through, so the light could travel through." Dylan Tatum '22 said.
While discussing what his class is working on now, Tatum said, "For the rest of the semester we're still doing dark room [photography], but we're working on it to a more detailed level, learning how to use double exposure, and stuff like that. For the past month and a half, our work has been camera less."
Overall, the exhibit was a creative expression of HW students art. A darkroom is a completely dark room, where black and white prints are commonly made, while a safelight is commonly used to illuminate the work of the area. Students are encouraged to explore while developing craft and composition.

Streamline Chub (Erimystax dissimilis)
The Streamline Chub is found in several disjunct populations in the Ohio River Drainage from Alabama to New York, including the Tennessee and Cumberland river drainages. They are found in riffles and runs of large streams and rivers over rock and gravel bottoms. As the common name suggests, Streamline Chubs have a "streamline" body shape that is long and slender to help maintain their position in swift water. They are disappearing throughout their range due to reservoir construction and siltation.

How to Install the Produce Preserver in your KitchenAid Refrigerator
The produce preserver absorbs ethylene, to slow the ripening process of many produce items. As a result, certain produce items will stay fresher longer. Ethylene production and sensitivity varies depending on the type of fruit or vegetable. To preserve freshness, it is best to separate produce with sensitivity to ethylene from fruits that produce moderate to high amounts of ethylene.

As Steve D. noted, a finite dimensional vector space over a countable field is necessarily countable: if $v_1,\ldots,v_n$ is a basis, then every vector in $V$ can be written uniquely as $\alpha_1 v_1+\cdots+\alpha_n v_n$ for some scalars $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n\in F$, so the cardinality of the set of all vectors is exactly $|F|^n$. If $F$ is countable, then this is countable. Since $\mathbb{R}$ is uncountable and $\mathbb{Q}$ is countable, $\mathbb{R}$ cannot be finite dimensional over $\mathbb{Q}$. (Whether it has a basis or not depends on your set theory).
Your further question in the comments, whether a vector space over $\mathbb{Q}$ is finite dimensional if and only if the set of vectors is countable, has a negative answer. If the vector space is finite dimensional, then it is a countable set; but there are infinite-dimensional vector spaces over $\mathbb{Q}$ that are countable as sets. The simplest example is $\mathbb{Q}[x]$, the vector space of all polynomials with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$, which is a countable set, and has dimension $\aleph_0$, with basis $\{1,x,x^2,\ldots,x^n,\ldots\}$.
Added: Of course, if $V$ is a vector space over $\mathbb{Q}$, then it has countable dimension (finite or denumerable infinite) if and only if $V$ is countable as a set. So the counting argument in fact shows that not only is $\mathbb{R}$ infinite dimensional over $\mathbb{Q}$, but that (if you are working in an appropriate set theory) it is uncountably-dimensional over $\mathbb{Q}$.
share|improve this answer
Related to the note about uncountable dimension, there are explicit examples of continuum-sized linearly independent sets, as seen in this MathOverflow answer by François G. Dorais: mathoverflow.net/questions/23202/… – Jonas Meyer Oct 7 '10 at 4:18
Yes: but can one show that there is a basis for $\mathbb{R}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ without some form of the Axiom of Choice? (There is a difference between exhibiting a large linearly independent subset and exhibiting a basis). – Arturo Magidin Oct 7 '10 at 14:51
No, one cannot, but without the Axiom of Choice the notion of dimension breaks down (except for finite vs. infinite). Assuming AC (as I virtually always do), the size of a linearly independent set gives a lower bound on the dimension of the vector space, and I think it is wonderful that in this case such "explicit" proof exists that the real numbers have continuum dimension, as opposed to the nice qualitative proof one could give by extending your argument to larger cardinals. – Jonas Meyer Oct 7 '10 at 16:02
_USER_: No argument there (with any of your points). – Arturo Magidin Oct 7 '10 at 17:23
good link _USER_, thanks – Leon Lampret Sep 23 '11 at 0:23

The cardinality argument mentioned by Arturo is probably the simplest. Here is an alternative: an explicit example of an infinite $\rm\: \mathbb Q$-independent set of reals. Consider the set consisting of the logs of all primes $\rm\: p_i\:$. Then if $\rm\ \: c_1\ log\ p_1 +\:\cdots\: + c_n\ log \ p_n \: =\ 0\:,\ \: c_i\in\mathbb Q\:,\: $ multiplying by a common denominator we can assume that all $\rm\ c_i \in \mathbb Z\:,\:$ and, exponentiating, we obtain $\rm\: p_1^{\:c_1}\cdots p_n^{\:c_n} = 1\ \Rightarrow\ c_i = 0,\:$ for all $\rm\:i\:$.

_USER_ S. "Then, any number field has a finite extension whose class number is 1." This would imply in particular that there are infinitely many number fields of class number one, which I am pretty sure is an open problem. I wonder what you are thinking here? – Pete L. Clark Jan 22 '11 at 10:20
Can you extend the idea of this proof to get the right dimension? Currently, you only have a countably infinite independent set, but the dimension is size continuum. – JDH Jun 23 '11 at 2:22

No transcendental numbers are needed for this question. Any set of algebraic numbers of unbounded degree spans a vector space of infinite dimension. Explicit examples of linearly independent sets of algebraic numbers are also relatively easy to write down.
The set $\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{\sqrt{2}}, \dots, = \cup_{n>0} 2^{2^{-n}} $ is linearly independent over $Q$. (Proof: Any expression of the $n$th iterated square root $a_n$ as a linear combination of earlier terms $a_i, i < n$ of the sequence could also be read as a rational polynomial of degree dividing $2^{n-1}$ with $a_n$ as a root and this contradicts the irreducibility of $X^m - 2$, here with $m=2^n$).
The square roots of the prime numbers are linearly independent over $Q$. (Proof: this is immediate given the ability to extend the function "number of powers of $p$ dividing $x$" from the rational numbers to algebraic numbers. $\sqrt{p}$ is "divisible by $p^{1/2}$" while any finite linear combination of square roots of other primes is divisible by an integer power of $p$, i.e., is contained in an extension of $Q$ unramified at $p$).
Generally any infinite set of algebraic numbers that you can easily write down and is not dependent for trivial reasons usually is independent. This because the only algebraic numbers for which we have a simple notation are fractional powers, and valuation (order of divisibility) arguments work well in this case. Any set of algebraic numbers where, of the ones ramified at any prime $p$, the amount of ramification is different for different elements of the set, will be linearly independent. Proof: take the most ramified element in a given linear combination, express it in terms of the others, and compare valuations.

_USER_..: Yes, of course. But, in my experience, students find the proof using logs of primes to be much simpler than any of the algebraic versions. That's why I presented it that way. – Bill Dubuque Oct 11 '10 at 14:18
_USER_: the question asked about proofs that do not "show the existence of non-algebraic numbers", and so it is of interest to give proofs that stay entirely within the algebraic (real) numbers. The set of sqrt(p) has minimal "depth" and the sqrt(sqrt...(2)) tower has minimal "width" among algebraic examples, making them somewhat canonical. The log(p) argument can be thought of as using an Archimedean valuation, complementing the approach with p-adic (non-Archimed

Ancient tombs discovered in Swat valley
25 November, 2012
ISLAMABAD: Italian archaeologists say they have discovered a cemetery that reveals complex funeral rites dating back more than 3,000 years in Swat valley.
The Italian mission began digging in the 1950s at Udegram, a site of Buddhist treasures in Swat, the northwestern district formerly known as the Switzerland of Pakistan for its stunning mountains, valleys and rivers.
Archaeologists were aware of a pre-Buddhist graveyard site in Udegram, but only recently discovered the collection of almost 30 graves, tightly clustered and partially overlapping.
"Some graves had a stone wall, others were protected by walls and enclosures in beaten clay," Luca Maria Olivieri, head of the Italian mission, told AFP.
"The cemetery seems to have been used between the end of the second millennium BCE and the first half of the first millennium BCE," he added.
Olivieri said, "The tombs point to the culture that predates the Buddhist Gandhara civilisation that took hold in northwest Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan from the first millennium BCE to the sixth century AD.
"The presence of a few iron fragments might be amongst the most ancient traces of this metal in the subcontinent," he said. Bodies were first laid to rest in open graves, fenced in by wooden railings. Then the graves were re-opened and the bones partially burnt before the graves were sealed and a burial mound built. Men were buried with high quality flasks, bowls and cooking pots, and women with semi-precious beads, bronze hairpins, and spindles.
Taliban insurgents led by cleric Fazlullah terrorised the Swat valley from 2007 to 2009, beheading opponents and burning down girls' schools as part of their determination to implement their laws. An army offensive in 2009 claimed to have defeated the insurgency, but isolated attacks continue.

Cantheist icon and symbols
cantheism symbol logo glow relief
The graphic symbol for Cantheism / Cannatheism, seen on the left, is modeled after the ancient Egyptian hieroglyph for hemp rope and fiber skeins. Its shape was eventually transformed into the modern letter "h."
The emblem is designed to be discreet, simple and easily sketched by hand. The shape replicates that of a coiled skein of hemp fiber, seen on the right. It refers both to the ancient roots and the intertwined nature of human experience and the cannabis plant.
Symbolism and health safety
Egyptian hieroglyphic reference to cannabis hemp.
Illustration: Detail from an Egyptian stella (_PHONE_ BC), Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze (Italy) Room III, case 14, Item 7611
A small skein of
hemp fiber, the model
for this hieroglyph.
The hand symbol for Cantheism is right hand cupped around the left, with two fingers extended in the inner hand, symbolizing the male and the female plants. The overall hand gesture signifying the female calyx which holds the trichome glands.
The Cantheist personal greeting is to hole the left hand over the heart with fingers spread and a small nod or bow of acknowledgement. This gesture, also used in the Cannamaste Circle, has been a safe and respectful acknowledgement of the other person that can be made at a distance to prevent passing germs.
Likewise, the sacramental spliff is smoked through a chillum style, cupped hand and sometimes a hemp smoking cloth, to prevent passing germs mouth to mouth.
Astronomy: The three stars of Orion's belt represent the three aspects of cannabis: Commerce, medicine, and spirit. Sirius, the brightest star in the nearby constellation Canis Major (Big Dog), visible in the Northern sky during winter, is identified with cannabis.
Alchemistry: Cannabis pulp and fiber can be fabricated and transformed into almost anything, including every product made from fossil fuels, timber and cotton. The story of Rumplestiltskin relates to a person who could spin gold from straw. Likewise, great wealth can be derived from the cannabis plant but without magic, simply using the plant in commerce. Use of hemp instead of harmful petrochemical products is essential for the restoration of natural balance to the planet.
The active flowers and leaves can be converted into a wide assortment of inhalables and comestibles, ranging from flowers to hash resin to honey oil to water hash to kief to food items to beverages to tinctures to salves to liniments, etc., etc.
Sharing and passing the breath of life
ancient Egypt pharaoh Ptah dynasty
The immortal Ptah breathes power and strength into a 12th Dynasty pharaoh while standing beneath the Cantheist logo.
During ceremonial smoking circles, each person in the group must say Cannamaste to the people next to them, take and hold the burning spliff, inhale a deep breath and pass it on to continue the circle.
Given that some people prefer to ingest their sacrament as vaporized herb or oils, edibles or tinctures, inhaling the smoke is encouraged but not required. People in the circle should each receive the spliff with the Cannamaste salute, hold (possess) the spliff while inhaling and exhaling, then pass it along to the next congregant in the circle.
The Cantheist Symbol can be seen
in numerous real and imitation
heiroglyphics, like this image
from a Las Vegas casino.
During a Cantheist wedding, it is common for the couple to share the "breath of smoke" during the ceremony.
An ancient allusion to this practice is seen in the detail above, taken from a relief on the Pillar of Sesotris I, 12th Dynasty (c. 1971-28 BC).
The immortal Ptah breathes on the Egyptian pharaoh, investing him with renewed power and strength. Note the Cantheist icon situated above the Ankh in the upper left corner.
A modern depiction is seen in this decoration, left, from a relief in a Las Vegas casino.
Glyph transformed by language, cultures
Below is a representation showing how the Egyptian symbol for hemp became a more angular shape in the Semitic alphabet as a cipher for tent wall, or canvas. Meanwhile, the Semitic word for hemp, kaneh bosm, became the Greek word kannabis and was adapted into Latin as cannabis, from which derives the english word canvas.

Mryia, full Mryia Jackalope, alos known as Atomhirsch, is a German furry writer and photographer.
Mryia is a fine-art photographer of abandoned places. Mryia is an active part of the German Urban Exploration (Urbex) scene under the pseudonym Atomhirsch (The name could be translated into nuclear deer).
Equipped with a Pentax K20D DSLR camera he sneaks, creeps and climbs into all kinds of abandoned buildings and places to make his artistic shots of a world after mankind. Sometimes he carries a life-sized inflatable reindeer with him as a kind of mascot, or use a deer mask to hide his face when making self-portraits while trespassing.
Fandom involvement[edit]
Mryia was known as a plushophile with a large collection of big plushies in his earlier furry life. One of his hobbies was sewing and making SPHs to make plushies anatomically correct.
He was also took commissions from all over the world and had a good reputation with his work.[citation needed] Notably, he sold two plush toys to the New York Museum of Sex - one rabbit (in a FurBid auction) and one Meeko.[1]
Mryia's furry persona is a special form of the Jackalope, the German Rasselbock, named mryia, taken from the Ukrainian language to mean dream (The English pronunciation being mreea). He normally appears as an anthropomorphic hare with deer antlers, as well as tusks like a predator. The..
Mryia has written a lot of furry stories, many of which are erotic, although most of them are in German. Some of his most popular stories are Tales of the Jackalope and Kleiner Tiger Mikhal. Most of his literary works can be found at SoFurry.

Theoretical results are expanded to place a bounding triangle on the leader-follower system such that the team is contained despite nontrivial tracking error. Flight tests were conducted with custom quadrotors running a modified version of ArduPilot on a BeagleBone Blue in M-Air, an outdoor netted flight facility. Motion capture and an onboard inertial measurement unit were used for state estimation. Position error was characterized in single vehicle tests using quintic spline trajectories and different reference velocities. Five-quadrotor leader trajectories were generated, and followers executed the continuum deformation control law in-flight. Flight tests successfully demonstrated continuum deformation; future work in characterizing error propagation from leaders to followers is discussed.

National Marrow Donor Program Accepts CAP Accreditation
Northfield, IL.—The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) now recognizes the College of American Pathologists (CAP) Laboratory Accreditation Program for laboratories that need to meet the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing accreditation requirement included in the NMDP's Donor Center Participation Criteria.
HLA, protein markers that are found on most of the body's cells, are important in matching patients and donors for a bone marrow, peripheral blood cell, or cord blood transplant. When a transplant center looks at matching, it compares how alike the HLA tissue types of the patient and the donor are to each other.
"CAP Accreditation is first and foremost in the interest of patient care," said Frank R. Rudy, MD, FCAP, Chair, CAP Commission on Laboratory Accreditation. "To deliver the best patient care, we collaborate with many organizations to provide the highest quality standards in laboratory testing and strive to offer our gold standard program to organizations, like NMDP, that establish specialized laboratory-testing criteria."
As part of the CAP accreditation process, inspectors examine the laboratory's records and quality control procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors examine the entire staff's qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall laboratory management. The inspection program is designed to ensure the highest standard of care for the laboratory's patients.
In addition to CAP Accreditation, the NMDP accepts accreditation for HLA typing from the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI) and the European Federation for Immunogenetics (EFI). In 2006, the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) recognized the CAP Accreditation Program as an approved accrediting body for laboratories in its Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network. UNOS recognizes ASHI, too.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which granted the CAP deeming authority, recognizes CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program as being equal to or more stringent than the government's own inspection program. The Joint Commission also recognizes the CAP program that can be used to meet many state certification requirements. The CAP also provides laboratory accreditation to forensic drug testing and reproductive laboratories, co-sponsored with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).
"The spirit of these co-sponsorships and collaborations is to apply scientific knowledge and advice from our health care colleagues to enhance the accreditation process," said Stanley J. Robboy, MD, FCAP, CAP President. "The CAP will continue to reach out to other organizations as it enhances current accreditation programs and develops new ones."
The College of American Pathologists (CAP), celebrating 50 years as the gold standard in laboratory accreditation, is a medical society serving more than 17,000 physician members and the global laboratory community. It is the world's largest association composed exclusively of board-certified pathologists and is the worldwide leader in laboratory quality assurance. The College advocates accountable, high-quality, and cost-effective patient care.

Martha Justice Ministry living Gospel Hospitality through social justice and love of creation
By Darlene O'Leary, Coordinator, Martha Justice Ministry
The Sisters of St. Martha of Antigonish have a long history of living their charism of Gospel Hospitality in their communities, through social work, health care, education, and other supports that offer welcome, compassion, and prayerful guidance. Martha Justice Ministry is a continuation of how the Marthas live Gospel Hospitality through social justice and creation care.
Martha Justice Ministry is a merger of the Marthas Social Justice Committee and the Martha Ecology Committee guided by a deepening understanding of the Earth and all creation as interconnected and a commitment to addressing systemic injustice. The ministry lives out its commitments through education, building networks of collaboration, prayerful contemplation, and advocacy.
Grounded in a deep sense of the interconnection of all things and the recognition of systemic injustice, Martha Justice Ministry works in the local community, regionally, nationally, and internationally with networks doing social and ecological justice work. We are active in poverty reduction coalitions, affordable housing associations, and food security networks locally and regionally. We are part of national faith groups educating and advocating for climate justice, racial justice, Indigenous rights, and refugee rights. And we are active participants in the UN Federation of the Sisters of Charity that promotes justice, peace, and creation care on a global scale.
One area of particular importance to the ministry is the work of right relations and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. We have committed to understanding ourselves as "Treaty People" who honour the commitments made to Indigenous peoples so that their rights to live their traditions and cultures are recognized. We have voiced support to policy makers for legislating the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). We have called for measures to redress and prevent further incidents of environmental racism, as has been highlighted in our province in the book and documentary, There's Something in the Water. In addition, we have called on the federal government to ensure that the Mi'kmaq are able to develop a sovereign fishery that builds on Treaty rights and Supreme Court rulings affirming those rights, without threats of violence.
Another important area of work for Martha Justice Ministry is our New Growers program. We work with organic farmers, David and Jen Greenberg, who manage the program and mentor young people interested in running their own small-scale market gardens. We have two-to-four growers per season who learn everything from seed ordering, garden planning, composting, marketing, and of course, growing beautiful, organic vegetables! Our New Growers are supplied with mentors, land, equipment, green house and hoop houses, wash facilities and refrigeration. We have a had great success with the program, with the majority of our participants going on to start their own farms.
As we continue with our work, through this difficult pandemic and beyond, Martha Justice Ministry will stay grounded in our commitment to live in harmony with the Earth and with each other, always embracing our neighbours and our common home.

Biogas plant – Heat exchanger with a temperature difference of only 2 kelvin
How should I dimension the heat exchanger so that the biogas system functions at an ambient temperature of 40°C and a medium temperature of 38°C?
To ensure the correct functioning of a biogas plant in China before construction
Industry: Plant engineering
Client: Managing director
Our customer was commissioned to engineer a biogas plant in the Chinese hinterland. They knew that the plant would have to be fully functional the moment it was completed. Increased on-site personnel costs were not an issue but if the biogas plant was not operational immediately then there would be a problem.
The main issue was that the area designated for the plant could experience temperatures of almost 40°C in summer yet the permissible temperature difference for cooling the bio elements is only 2 Kelvin. If cooling doesn't function correctly, the microorganisms will die and the entire system will stop working.
Our task was to optimize the heat exchanger in such a way that it would function efficiently despite the low temperature difference.
Heat transfer at a temperature difference of only 2 kelvin is challenging. Additionally, we would have to deal with the non-continuous drive system operating at the plant.
As a first step, it was important to clearly define the task so we analyzed the R & I flow chart as well as the planned mass and energy flows in detail. This resulted in a heat exchanger design with a pipe length of a few hundred meters just as the customer had foreseen.
Therefore, we decided to take a step back to the drawing board and rethought the entire process control of the biogas plant from the ground up. Did the heat exchanger really need to be so large? Surely there was a more elegant method?
With the help of a TRIZ process we developed a range of potential solutions to present to the client. We adopted some approaches from sewage treatment plants and others from classical process engineering. We identified the limiting factor – heat transfer occurring on the outer side of the pipes – and began intensively planning how we could improve it.
The customer implemented the following solution: the geometry of the storage container was adjusted according to our specifications in order to attain a higher flow velocity. To achieve this, agitators were utilized to further improve the pipes' external heat transfer rate.
This not only saved the customer investment costs but also ensured that the biogas plant was guaranteed to function, even under harsh conditions.

CLEAR CREEK, TX (DEWITT COUNTY)
CLEAR CREEK, TEXAS (DeWitt County). Clear Creek was near present Ranch Road 108 ten miles north of Yorktown in western DeWitt County, in an area predominantly settled by Germans. The community center was the Clear Creek school, organized in 1894 and sometimes called Sandgate. The school building also was used as a Methodist church. In 1926 the public school at nearby Nopal was merged with the Clear Creek school, which closed in 1951. By 1961 only Sandgate Cemetery marked the area. An earlier Clear Creek school may have been organized fourteen miles southeast in 1885 and operated until 1898; that building reportedly also doubled as a Methodist church.

Unrelenting cold weather persisted on New Year's Day. The Korea Meteorological Administration issued a cold weather alert for Seoul on Wednesday for the first time this winter.
The morning low in Seoul dipped to -14 degrees Celsius Wednesday and will fall to -16 degrees Thursday, the KMA predicted.
Cold weather alerts are issued when the morning low is expected to stay below -12 degrees Celsius for more than two days.
The freezing weather will persist in Seoul with morning temperatures at -14 degrees Friday, -11 degrees Saturday, and -7 degrees Sunday, the KMA forecast.
It attributed the current cold weather to a cold Siberian airmass spreading over to the Korean Peninsula.
Weatherman Chang Hyun-sik predicted the cold weather will persist until at least mid-January.
Meanwhile, December 2012 was the coldest in 45 years in Seoul, with average temperatures at -4.1 degrees during the month, down 4.5 degrees from previous years, the KMA said. The year 1967 saw the coldest December in Seoul with average temperatures at -4.9 degrees.
