Last month, a grassroots group of volunteers walked around Sneads Ferry and collected 34 bags of trash by hand. After a couple of hours, their haul weighed in at a whopping 680 pounds.
The group calls itself Debris Free Sneads Ferry, and it was organized and led by Hannah Faith Kushner. Kushner, of Sneads Ferry, said she considers litter in the area to be a tremendous problem.
Debris Free Sneads Ferry is just one of a handful of emerging efforts to clean up the area around Stump Sound. The sound touches a handful of municipalities and unincorporated areas, which poses challenges to managing issues like litter. Who is in charge of addressing this problem?
That's the type of question that Lisa Rider found herself asking when she came up with the idea for Stewards of Stump Sound, a group that plans to address cleanup strategies and litter management in the surrounding area. Rider is the executive director of Coastal Carolina Riverwatch. She and others workshopped the idea during a past annual North Carolina Marine Debris Symposium. The 2021 event was held online last week.
"We collaboratively wanted to put together a program in an underserved or unincorporated area of eastern North Carolina," said Rider.
Marine debris along roadsides and waterways poses a problem for local ecosystems, in addition to being unsightly for residents. The North Carolina Coastal Federation's 2020 Marine Debris Action Plan listed the Stewards of Stump Sound pilot program as a key way to address marine debris in unincorporated areas, where there is no municipal government to take charge of the problem.
One of the pilot program's first acts was to initiate a litter survey of the area, which returned results in December 2019. The litter survey helped Rider highlight problem areas where debris rates were exceptionally high.
"When the study came out, it was really apparent to us which areas we really needed to target with litter removal programs," said Rider.
But just as momentum for the project was building, the onset of the pandemic caused a lingering delay.
"So, we have to start rebuilding that momentum," said Rider. "And that's kind of where we're at today."
As years go on, it can be difficult to maintain a consistent group of stakeholders. But Rider said she is optimistic, simply because she knows other people committed to the cause are out there and are starting to organize their own initiatives.
"Knowing that that's happening in the community is a good sign that we can get this thing back together and get it rolling down the hill again," she said.
Jan Farmer is a coastal ambassador for the North Carolina Coastal Federation, which works with partners to restore Morris Landing Clean Water Preserve, 52 acres of forest habitat, salt marsh, tidal creek and more than 3,000 feet of shoreline along Stump Sound. Farmer is also working on the project, and she said that Stewards of Stump Sound will complement other grassroots efforts, not replace them. When she heard about Debris Free Sneads Ferry, she reached out to Kushner and asked how she could help.
"What we're trying to avoid is creating just another program that is redundant to other things that are being done," said Farmer.
As Stewards of Stump Sound evolves and takes shape, Farmer said she is excited about grassroots litter efforts like Debris Free Sneads Ferry because it does more than just clean up the litter, it creates an involved community all concerned about the same issue.
"It seems to have kind of ignited something in the Sneads Ferry area right now," said Farmer, "to encourage people to participate, to be aware of the problem."
That is something that Farmer has been wanting for a long time — people paying attention to the area and working together to keep it clean.
"It takes time to build allies," said Farmer. "And just this past year, really, it seems like it's starting to really get attention. And I'm super excited about that."
Still in its early phases, Stewards of Stump Sound is continually deciding what it's going to be. But the primary goal has remained unchanged from the start: to clean up the area around Stump Sound. Rider encourages anyone who wants to know more about the group's progress to contact Rebecca Drohan, program coordinator at Coastal Carolina River Watch, at _PHONE_ or _EMAIL_.

I've pretty much wrung-out the possibilities of propagating by grafting, and wanted to delve into some other hard-to-propagate fruits, and so I've ventured into the rarefied air of plant tissue culture. Tissue Culture is growing embryonic plants from parts of the tree you wouldn't always think of for starting plants, like slices of the leaf. The sterile growing medium this cherry is in consists of tapioca starch, coconut milk, table sugar, minerals, vitamins, growth hormones, and a preservative. This clump will multiply and be divided into more jars, and continue to multiply until its time to change the hormone so it will grow roots. Photosynthesis is not necessary, as it bypasses the usual method of making food, where chlorophyll takes sunlight and water to make glucose. The plant takes up sugar directly from the medium and actually grows better in the dark. Gardening in a baby food jar with no bugs, no disease, no sunlight, and the end result is clean, vigorous plants; there's a lot to like about this.

Old Senior HAll
The Ray Group
Constructed in 1934, the "Old Senior Hall" building was built with a structural steel frame, concrete and gypsteel floors and roof, and a reinforced concrete foundation. The exterior walls were built using a brick masonry façade over a clay tile backup with limestone sills, coping, and accents. Active corrosion of main structural members was discovered in the late 1990's, and a plan was developed to renovate the building to address structural concerns. Atkinson - Noland conducted a full exterior condition survey, including use of nondestructive tests to identify the extent of steel corrosion, evaluate masonry performance, and identify potential repair items. Results of this study were used to plan repairs and any necessary strengthening.
Atkinson-Noland & Associates, Inc. (ANA) has provided structural engineering services for federal, state, and private organizations since its founding in 1975. The unique organization of the firm strives to balance a commitment to innovative research and development goals with direct application to problems in the field. The experience and education of their professional and support staff provides a strong capability for handling difficult and challenging material and structural engineering problems. Through ongoing research and practice, the firm has established itself as one of the foremost international authorities on both historic and modern masonry structural systems.

Check Acceptance Policy
Create and post for both customers and employees a check acceptance policy that is clear and easy to follow. We suggest you include the following:
 1. Make sure a check has a valid street address and not just a post office box address. Write the residential address on the face of the check if it only shows a post office box address.
 2. Require a photo identification (ID), either a State issued Identification Card or a Driver's license. Other government issued ID cards should be included if acceptable. We suggest that a proof of residence be required if it is not included on the ID.
 3. Verify that the address printed on the check and on the ID match. Put a notation on the face of the check to indicate the correct current address.
 4. Verify the phone number, if printed, on the check. If no number is printed on the check, get a current phone number and write it on the face of the check.
 5. Make certain that the written and numeric dollar amounts are the same.
 6. Compare the writer's signature and be confident that it matches the signature on the check.
 7. Install security cameras to get a full face picture of the check writer.
 8. Make a notation of the date and time when the check was received in a margin on the check. This will allow easier searches through security tapes to locate the delivery of the bad check.
 9. Only accept checks with the current date. Post-dated checks are civil matters and are not eligible for the Bad Check Program.
 10. Avoid out of state checks and checks with low numbers. We suggest that no counter checks be accepted.
 11. Require the individual to sign the check in your presence. If it is a company check, have the individual print their full name under their signature.
Checks as Payments
It is the choice of each individual and business to accept a check as payment for their goods or services. You do not have to accept a check as payment and can request another form of payment. If you do feel unsure or do not trust the individual writing the check, ask for another form of payment.

Athlete Biological Passport Program FAQ
What is an Athlete Biological Passport (ABP)?
An Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) is an ongoing electronic record of an athlete's biological markers from multiple blood sample collections over a period of time.
An ABP differs from traditional blood tests by looking at the effects of doping rather than directly detecting the prohibited substances or methods used. This means that even if a substance has left the body, the ABP tests will detect if it was there.
Why is the NRL introducing an ABP program?
The new testing measures are part of a range of initiatives introduced by the NRL's Integrity and Compliance Unit to protect rugby league. The testing program has been developed on the basis of expert advice and gives confidence to the fans and the players who are committed to a drug-free sport.
The NRL's ABP program is part of a comprehensive suite of changes that will significantly strengthen rugby league against emerging threats to world sport.
What are the other new testing measures being announced by the NRL?
The new ABP program will run in addition to traditional blood and urine testing. The other new measures include:
 - Increased testing for Human Growth Hormone with samples sent to London to take advantage of the latest technology developed for the 2012 Olympics
 - Increased testing for peptides with samples sent to Cologne to take advantage of leading international developments in peptide testing
Who administers the NRL's ABP Program?
The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) will be contracted by the NRL to conduct all aspects of the program on its behalf.
When will the program start?
The program will commence in June 2013.
How are players selected?
Players are selected at ASADA's discretion.
How often will ABP testing occur?
ASADA has indicated that a minimum of four tests would be reasonable to provide an individual athlete's baseline record. A baseline record is simply gathering a sufficient quantity of data from which a panel of three experts can agree that it is highly likely that a prohibited substance or method has been used following testing. In a full year, it is expected each player would be required to submit to between four and ten tests.
How long will it take for tests to be completed?
The test itself is relatively short and only requires a sample of blood. However, an athlete is required to be in a rested state prior to undertaking the test which could result in a player waiting for up to two hours from the time he first advised of the test. Once notified an athlete must remain with the testing official until the test is complete.
Where will the biological passports be tested and by whom?
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accredited laboratories in Australia will process ABP tests conducted in Australia.
Is the new ABP Program supported by the Rugby League Players' Association?
Yes. The program has been discussed in detail with the RLPA. The RLPA strongly supports the testing of players to ensure compliance with the WADA code and the NRL's Anti-Doping Policy.

How do criminal groups organize, operate, and govern in Denmark? We argue that organized crime groups face governance challenges in the form of principal-agent problems and transaction costs. Based on interviews with law enforcement officers, former gang members, and prisoners, we provide evidence for how people involved in crime respond to these organizational dilemmas. We find that the more severe the principal-agent problem, the more gangs vet possible members during recruitment. We also find that as transaction costs rise, people who are engaged in illicit activities that are more complicated will rely more on internal structure and centralization. Our findings support existing rational choice theories of criminal organizations.

Switch from a synchronous capture to a capture process in Oracle Streams
Switch from synchronous capture to capture process
Complete the following steps
1. Ensure that the source database is running in ARCHIVELOG mode.
Archive log list;
2. Log in to the destination database as the Oracle Streams administrator. Example assumes that the Oracle Streams administrator is strmadmin at each database.
3. Create the queue for the apply process that will apply the changes that were captured by the capture process.
BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.SET_UP_QUEUE(
queue_table => 'strmadmin.cap_proc_dest_qt',
queue_name => 'strmadmin.cap_proc_dest');
END;
/
4. Create an apply process that applies the changes in the queue created.
Note: Ensure that the apply_captured parameter is set to TRUE. Also, ensure that the rule_set_name parameter specifies the rule set used by the existing apply process.
BEGIN
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.CREATE_APPLY(
queue_name => 'strmadmin.cap_proc_dest',
apply_name => 'apply_cap_proc',
rule_set_name => 'strmadmin.apply_rules',
apply_captured => TRUE);
END;
/
5. Ensure that the apply process is configured properly for your environment. Specifically, ensure that the new apply process is configured properly regarding the following items:
Apply user
Apply handlers
Apply tag
6. Stop the apply process that applies changes captured by the synchronous capture.
BEGIN
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.STOP_APPLY(
apply_name => 'apply_sync_cap');
END;
/
7. Connect to the source database. Create the queue for the capture process.
BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.SET_UP_QUEUE(
queue_table => 'strmadmin.cap_proc_source_qt',
queue_name => 'strmadmin.cap_proc_source');
END;
/
8. Create a propagation that sends changes from the queue created.
BEGIN
DBMS_PROPAGATION_ADM.CREATE_PROPAGATION(
propagation_name => 'cap_proc_prop',
source_queue => 'strmadmin.cap_proc_source',
destination_queue => 'strmadmin.cap_proc_dest',
destination_dblink => 'db2.example.com',
rule_set_name => 'strmadmin.prop_rules');
END;
/
9. Create a capture process. Ensure that the parameters are set properly in the CREATE_CAPTURE procedure:
–Set the queue_name parameter to the queue created in Step 7.
–Set the rule_set_name parameter to the rule set used by the existing synchronous capture.
10. If the existing synchronous capture uses a capture user that is not the Oracle Streams administrator, then set the capture_user parameter to the correct capture user for the new capture process.
BEGIN
DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.CREATE_CAPTURE(
queue_name => 'strmadmin.cap_proc_source',
capture_name => 'cap_proc',
rule_set_name => 'strmadmin.cap_rules');
END;
/
11. Prepare the replicated tables for instantiation. The replicated tables are the tables for which the capture process captures changes.
For example, if the capture process captures changes to the hr.employees and hr.departments tables, then run the following procedures:
BEGIN
DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.PREPARE_TABLE_INSTANTIATION(
table_name => 'hr.employees',
supplemental_logging => 'keys');
END;
/
BEGIN
DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.PREPARE_TABLE_INSTANTIATION(
table_name => 'hr.departments',
supplemental_logging => 'keys');
END;
/
Note: Lock all of the replicated tables in SHARE MODE.
In this example, run the following SQL statement:
LOCK TABLE hr.employees, hr.departments IN SHARE MODE;
12. Determine the current system change number (SCN) by running the following query:
SELECT CURRENT_SCN FROM V$DATABASE;
This example assumes that the switch SCN is _PHONE_.
13. Run a COMMIT statement to release the lock on the replicated tables:
COMMIT;
14. Set the apply process that applies changes from the synchronous capture to stop applying changes when it reaches the SCN returned
For example, if the switch SCN is _PHONE_, then run the following procedure to set the maximum_scn parameter to _PHONE_ (_PHONE_ + 1):
BEGIN
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.SET_PARAMETER(
apply_name => 'apply_sync_cap',
parameter => 'maximum_scn',
value => '_PHONE_');
END;
/
15. Start the apply process that applies changes from the synchronous capture.
In this example, run the following procedure:
BEGIN
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.START_APPLY(
apply_name => 'apply_sync_cap');
END;
/
Note: Wait until the apply process that applies changes that were captured by the synchronous capture has reached the SCN specified. When this event occurs, the apply process is automatically disabled with error ORA-26717 to indicate the SCN limit has reached.
16. Determine if the apply process has reached this point, query the DBA_APPLY view.
SELECT 1 FROM DBA_APPLY
WHERE STATUS = 'DISABLED' AND
ERROR_NUMBER = 26717 AND
APPLY_NAME = 'APPLY_SYNC_CAP';
17. Set the instantiation SCN for the replicated tables to the SCN value returned.
BEGIN
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.SET_TABLE_INSTANTIATION_SCN(
source_object_name => 'hr.employees',
source_database_name => 'db1.example.com',
instantiation_scn => _PHONE_);
END;
/
BEGIN
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.SET_TABLE_INSTANTIATION_SCN(
source_object_name => 'hr.departments',
source_database_name => 'db1.example.com',
instantiation_scn => _PHONE_);
END;
/
18. Start the apply process that you created.
BEGIN
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.START_APPLY(
apply_name => 'apply_cap_proc');
END;
/
19. Drop the apply process that applied changes that were captured by the synchronous capture.
BEGIN
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.DROP_APPLY(
apply_name => 'apply_sync_cap');
END;
/
20. If it is no longer needed, then drop the queue that was used by the apply process that you dropped in Step 20.
BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.REMOVE_QUEUE(
queue_name => 'strmadmin.sync_cap_dest',
drop_unused_queue_table => TRUE);
END;
/
21. Start the capture process that you created.
BEGIN
DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.START_CAPTURE(
capture_name => 'cap_proc');
END;
/
22. Drop the synchronous capture.
BEGIN
DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.DROP_CAPTURE(
capture_name => 'sync_cap');
END;
/
23. Drop the propagation that sent changes that were captured by the synchronous capture.
BEGIN
DBMS_PROPAGATION_ADM.DROP_PROPAGATION(
propagation_name => 'sync_cap_prop');
END;
/
24. Drop the queue that was used by the synchronous capture and propagation.
BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.REMOVE_QUEUE(
queue_name => 'strmadmin.sync_cap_source',
drop_unused_queue_table => TRUE);
END;
/

Green Supply Chain Design: A Lagrangian Approach
Merrick, Ryan J.
MetadataShow full item record
The expansion of supply chains into global networks has drastically increased the distance travelled along shipping lanes in a logistics system. Inherently, the increase in travel distances produces increased carbon emissions from transport vehicles. When increased emissions are combined with a carbon tax or emissions trading system, the result is a supply chain with increased costs attributable to the emission generated on the transportation routes. Most traditional supply chain design models do not take emissions and carbon costs into account. Hence, there is a need to incorporate emission costs into a supply chain optimization model to see how the optimal supply chain configuration may be affected by the additional expenses. This thesis presents a mathematical programming model for the design of green supply chains. The costs of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were incorporated in the objective function, along with the fixed and transportation costs that are typically modeled in traditional facility location models. The model also determined the unit flows between the various nodes of the supply chain, with the objective of minimizing the total cost of the system by strategically locating warehouses throughout the network. The literature shows that CO2 emissions produced by a truck are dependent on the weight of the vehicle and can be modeled using a concave function. Hence, the carbon emissions produced along a shipping lane are dependent upon the number of units and the weight of each unit travelling between the two nodes. Due to the concave nature of the emissions, the addition of the emission costs to the problem formulation created a nonlinear mixed integer programming (MIP) model. A solution algorithm was developed to evaluate the new problem formulation. Lagrangian relaxation was used to decompose the problem by echelon and by potential warehouse site, resulting in a problem that required less computational effort to solve and allowed for much larger problems to be evaluated. A method was then suggested to exploit a property of the relaxed formulation and transform the problem into a linear MIP problem. The solution method computed the minimum cost for a complete network that would satisfy all the needs of the customers. A primal heuristic was introduced into the Lagrangian algorithm to generate feasible solutions. The heuristic utilized data from the Lagrangian subproblems to produce good feasible solutions. Due to the many characteristics of the original problem that were carried through to the subproblems, the heuristic produced very good feasible solutions that were typically within 1% of the Lagrangian bound. The proposed algorithm was evaluated through a number of tests. The rigidity of the problem and cost breakdown were varied to assess the performance of the solution method in many situations. The test results indicated that the addition of emission costs to a network can change the optimal configuration of the supply chain. As such, this study concluded that emission costs should be considered when designing supply chains in jurisdictions with carbon costs. Furthermore, the tests revealed that in regions without carbon costs it may be possible to significantly reduce the emissions produced by the supply chain with only a small increase in the cost to operate the system.

Ten thousand year old boats found on Britain's hillsides
Price: Free! Words: 4,040. Language: English. Published: July 1, 2014. Category: Nonfiction » History » History of things
On the hillsides of Britain are chalk and stone remnants of monuments that are between five and ten thousand years old. These monuments are curious for they are long and thin in shape, surrounded by moats and our ancestors placed their dead inside for their last journey - the problem is these symbolic images were built thousands years before ships were supposedly invented.


text: Audio slideshows is the topic of Today. For journalist an audio slideshow can add depth to a story, it gives the consumer more visuals to pair to a story. This may make the story more real to the reader. The audio on a slideshow can give them a feel of being there in the story. This gives the journalist more dimensions to their story. The pictures in the slideshow are important because they in this case are the story, and the audio is telling the pictures story as well. This also shows that the journalist can tell a story in more than one way. This is very important for a journalist, it shows diversity in their work.

 - Fifty years of shipwreck excavation opens new windows on history
 By Fabio Esteban Amador - Natgeo Newswatch
 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of George Bass's first-ever submarine mapping and excavation of a complete shipwreck and the dawn of modern underwater archaeology.
 This potential archaeology was inaccessible for a long time and beyond anyone's imagination. However, it was just a matter of time before a unique and inspiring individual came along and began the age of underwater archaeology.
 George Bass, a University of Pennsylvania archaeology graduate student, was asked in 1960 if he would be interested in studying a Late Bronze Age shipwreck off the coast of Turkey. "I had never dived except once in a YMCA swimming pool before leaving for Turkey in 1960," George explains. His desire to explore and document the ocean's floor became the foundation for what now is the field of underwater and maritime archaeology.
 Dating to over 3,000 years old, the first shipwreck studied by George Bass was at the time the oldest ship ever found. His research at Cape Gelidonya would be like none that came before - it would literally change our notions of archaeology and the ocean forever.

Clustering pavement aggregate particles based on shape and texture properties
MetadataShow full item record
Aggregates are the major component of pavements. Physical characteristics of aggregates significantly affect the properties of pavements. Different pavement construction projects may require different characteristics of aggregate. Proper selection of aggregate with consistent shape properties ensures high performance of pavements. The available test methods for evaluating the aggregate physical properties and classifying them are laborious, time-consuming, and subjective. This study presents the development of an objective system which evaluates the shape properties of aggregate particles and classifies them into distinct groups regarding their sphericity, form, angularity and texture features. By using this system, the heterogeneity in an aggregate sample based on a given feature could be assessed. This system includes a laser scanner developed at the University of Texas at Austin to scan aggregate particles. Total of 1398 aggregate particles, from eight different quarries in the state of Texas, were scanned. The scanned data were analyzed using a MATLAB algorithm for measuring the sphericity, form, angularity, and texture of particles. All the measurements were stored in an Excel file and were imported to another algorithm developed in R software and OpenBUGS package to cluster the aggregate particles. Several methods of clustering were reviewed and finally, model-based clustering approach was selected. The model-based cluster analysis was applied to the measurements aiming to detect subclasses in aggregate particles based on each feature. This study shows how to use this clustering approach to group the particles based on their sphericity, form, angularity, and texture features.

Here is the code:
window.onload = function () {
 var ta = document.getElementById('ta'); //set your textarea's id
 ta.onclick = function (e) {
 var lineNo = ta.value.substr(0, ta.selectionStart).split(/\r?\n|\r/).length,
 lineText = ta.value.split(/\r?\n|\r/)[lineNo - 1],
 numOfSpaces = lineText.split(/\s/).length - 1;
 console.log(lineNo, lineText, numOfSpaces);
Here is the fiddle.
NOTE: textarea.selectionStart does not work in some browsers. For a cross-browser support see this post.

You need to split the string value of the textarea and then:
var textString = //pull data from textarea
var textArray = textString.split("\n");

COLLAGEN FROM FISH SCALES CAN HEAL WOUNDS, SINGAPORE STUDY FINDS
SINGAPORE, Collagen derived from fish scales could be used to used to heal wounds, Channel NewsAsia reported citing the findings of a study conducted by researchers at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and National University of Singapore (NUS).
The study included fish scales from fishes that are commonly cooked such as sea bass, snakehead and tilapia.
The scales, usually removed before cooking, contain collagen that can be chemically modified to be water-soluble and used for various biomedical applications, NTU said in a press release on Monday.
The modified collagen can also incorporate drugs to produce wound dressings with a higher healing potential, according to the findings from the team comprising associate professor Cleo Choong and associate professor Andrew Tan from NTU, and associate professor Veronique Angeli from NUS.
The modified collagen was later tested on mice and it was found that it helped improve the "potential for tissue repair and regeneration", according to the study that was published in the research journal Acta Biomaterialia.–NNN-BERNAMA

Blackjack TU160
Bomber Tupolev TU160 started at 9:00 from the airport and flew at average speed of 1850 km/h toward the airfield B distant 3500 km. After evaluating the danger from the airport B started at 9:45 B towards A fighter MIG 29 at an average speed 2300 km/h. At what time and at what distance from the airport A this two aircrafts meet?
t = 10:16 h Wrong answer
s = 2329.2169 km
Step-by-step explanation:
3500 = 1850(t-9) + 2300(t-(9+45/60))
3500 = 1850•(t-9) + 2300•(t-(9+45/60))
s-1850t = -16650
249000t = _PHONE_
s = 2329.216867
t = 1703/166 ≈ 10.259036

Using plotmaple to return multiple plots
I need to generate 4 different plots (one for each multiple choice option).
Is there a way to get all 4 plots using just one plotmaple call?
I currently have 4, and the question seems sluggish when previewing. I'm wondering if it is because of all the back and forth between Maple TA and Maple.
4 separate calls for plots shouldn't be sluggish, I would follow up with support on that concern, however you also have the following option:
I have used this many times.. use the Plots:-display command to display multiple color plots on the same grid, with a legend indicating what choice is what line. For example redLine=choiceA blueLine=choiceB.. etc
Here is a simple to follow example that illustrates this and also uses an algorithmic answer in the multiple choice:

StartSmart Greece 2015: Morning Sessions
Foteini Agrafioti, Chief Innovation Officer, Architech
"The Process to Authenticate the Human Heart"
Biomedical authentication was a congested field when Foteini Agrafioti started her postgraduate work at University of Toronto. Unsure whether to pursue research in the spectrum of typical biomed technologies, Dr. Agrafioti instead took a cross-disciplinary approach, reading everything of interest. In her reading, one idea kept surfacing: the use of the human heartbeat to identify people.
In this session, Dr. Agrafioti will walk you through her journey from the idea phase to commercializing her research, an automatic human identification system from cardiac signals. The challenges along the way were numerous: there were no universal standards to measuring the heartbeat as a biometric identifier, and the idea had plenty of naysayers. Dr. Agrafioti will share with you the steps in her journey to commercialization: the proof of concept phase, the obstacles, the findings, and the options.
-Justifications and challenges to the idea of using the heartbeat as an authentication signal
-Setting the stage in the biometrics arena
-Searching for a next step: taking a "blue sky" approach
-Building a database: signals, algorithms and pizza


Evaluations of land cover risk factors for canine leptospirosis: 94 cases (2002–2009)
Abstract
Associations of land cover/land use variables and the presence of dogs in urban vs. rural address locations were evaluated retrospectively as potential risk factors for canine leptospirosis in Kansas and Nebraska using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The sample included 94 dogs positive for leptospirosis predominantly based on a positive polymerase chain reaction test for leptospires in urine, isolation of leptospires on urine culture, a single reciprocal serum titer of 12,800 or greater, or a four-fold rise in reciprocal serum titers over a 2–4 weeks period; and 185 dogs negative for leptospirosis based on a negative polymerase chain reaction test and reciprocal serum titers less than 400. Land cover features from 2001 National Land Cover Dataset and 2001 Kansas Gap Analysis Program datasets around geocoded addresses of case/control locations were extracted using 2500 m buffers, and the presence of dogs' address locations within urban vs. rural areas were estimated in GIS. Multivariate logistic models were used to determine the risk of different land cover variables and address locations to dogs. Medium intensity urban areas (OR = 1.805, 95% C.I. = 1.396, 2.334), urban areas in general (OR = 2.021, 95% C.I. = 1.360, 3.003), and having urban address locations (OR = 3.732, 95% C.I. = 1.935, 7.196 entire study region), were significant risk factors for canine leptospirosis. Dogs regardless of age, sex and breed that live in urban areas are at higher risk of leptospirosis and vaccination should be considered.

A dataspace is a logical grouping of data with definitions of how that data should be loaded and processed, usually from a single source.
Each dataspace encapsulates definitions for its core data primitives, such as measurements (numerical data), categories (string-based categorical data), and tags (string-based tags). It also includes configuration for data connector and data processor components to load and process data into those primitives.
While measurements and categories are scoped to the dataspace namespace, tags are aggregated with tags from other dataspaces to the pod scope.
Data connectors and processors are community-maintained components for streaming and processing time-series data. More information can be found in the data-components-contrib repository.

On the Feasibility of DHT Lookup in Ad-Hoc Networks
Date de parution
Various peer-to-peer (PIP) architectures for ad-hoc networks have been proposed over the last few years. Most of them are unstructured and use some form of flooding to locate content, because the physical constraints of the underlying network make the construction of arbitrary application-layer overlays impractical. In this paper, we study the problem of applying distributed hash tables (DHT) for mobile ad-hoc networks. Our approach to efficiently lookup content in such networks exploits physical proximity of peers when establishing and maintaining the DHT based routing tables. Tire efficiency of our method is demonstrated by simulation of large networks.

On-Line Catalog : Rectangular Silencers > SF > SF-94
Model SF-94 Standard Frequency Silencer
All acoustical performance and aerodynamic data is derived from laboratory tests in accordance with ASTM E477-99, the standard method for testing duct silencers. Published information originated from a 24" x 24" (610 x 610mm) production unit, tested in forward flow (+, air/noise in same direction) and reverse flow (-, air/noise in opposite directions). If silencers are installed immediately before or after elbows, transitions, at the intake or discharge of the system or without a duct, allowance for such conditions must be included and compensated for when calculating the operating pressure through the silencer. Failure to make allowances for these conditions can add several velocity heads to the pressure loss of the system.

The Estimation of Age and Analyses of the Growth Rate Piliostigma thonningii (Schum.) Milne-Redhead in the Guinea Savanna Zone of Nigeria
Estimates of age and analyses of growth rate of Piliostigma thonningii were made by counting rings and measuring ring widths in those plants that formed distinct rings. In the others, with indistinct rings or no rings, the regression method was used to estimate the ages, using known ages and girths to derive a regression equation. There was a high correlation coefficient between age and girth (r = 0.96), less so between age and mean annual growth increment (r = 0.71) and much less so between age and bark thickness (r = 0.54). The estimated mean annual growth increment (cm) for all the tress sampled was 1.07 ± 0.23 (at 95% confidence limit).

Busbar temperature monitoring is important to ensure that the energy distribution system is operating at its optimum. A properly functioning busbar system will reduce the load on the transformer and hence extend its life. Additionally, a busbar system can help in detecting anomalies early, so that they can be corrected before they lead to power outages.
Busbar temperature monitoring is important because it allows utilities and operators to identify and correct problems as early as possible. By monitoring busbars, operators are able to detect problems such as overheating, corrosion, or poor insulation. This not only saves time and money but also avoids potential disasters.
Busbar temperature monitoring is important for a variety of reasons. When a busbar is subject to high temperatures, it can cause problems. For instance, a busbar that is too hot could start to emit smoke or flames. This could lead to a catastrophic fire. Additionally, if the busbar becomes too hot, it could start to degrade. This could lead to problems with the electrical connections or the mechanical components of the busbar. Finally, high temperatures can also cause mental fatigue in the busbar. This can lead to failure and potential injury.
By monitoring busbar temperatures, businesses can avoid these problems. Monitoring also allows businesses to identify when there are problems with the busbar and take appropriate action. For example, if there is smoke or flames emanating from a busbar, then the business may shut down operations until the problem is fixed. If there are signs of metal fatigue, then the business may replace the busbar before it fails completely.
There are many benefits of BUSBAR temperature monitoring!
Busbar temperature monitoring is important for two reasons: first, it can help you identify and diagnose problems with electrical equipment, and second, it can help you optimize the performance of your electrical system.
If you have a busbar temperature sensor installed in your electrical system, it will monitor the temperature of the busbar (a metal conductor used to transfer electricity between two or more devices). If the temperature of the busbar rises above a certain threshold, this will indicate that there is a problem with your electrical system. By monitoring the busbar temperature, you can quickly identify and fix any problems.
Additionally, by optimizing the performance of your electrical system, you can ensure that your equipment is operating at its best. By monitoring the busbar temperature, you can determine which devices are producing heat (known as heat sources), and then make adjustments to reduce or eliminate these sources of heat. This will help to improve the overall performance of your electrical system
Busbar temperature monitoring is important for a number of reasons.
First, it can help identify and diagnose problems with the electrical system more quickly. If there is an issue with the bus bar, it can cause short circuits in the system, which could lead to a fire. By monitoring the bus bar temperature, you can detect any problems sooner and take action to prevent them from becoming major disasters.
Second, busbar temperature monitoring can help protect the equipment and personnel working with it. If the bus bar is too hot or cold, it can cause discomfort or even injury. By keeping track of the bus bar temperature, you can make sure that it remains at a safe level and avoid any issues.
Finally, bus bar temperature monitoring can help conserve energy. If the bus bar is too cold or hot, it will use more energy to operate than necessary. By tracking the bus bar temperature, you can make sure that it remains at a comfortable level and save money on your energy bills.
Busbar temperature monitoring is an important safety precaution that you should take when operating your plant. By monitoring the busbar temperature, you can ensure that the heat transfer between the hot and cold sides of the busbar is constant and reliable. This will help to protect your equipment and keep it running smoothly.

I am going through this imagenet example.
And, in line 88, the module DistributedDataParallel is used. When I searched for the same in the docs, I haven't found anything. However, I found the documentation for DataParallel.
So, would like to know what is the difference between the DataParallel and DistributedDataParallel modules.
$\endgroup$
 - $\begingroup$ well, by docs I think they are totally same. Aren't they? $\endgroup$ – Frank Jan 10 at 5:47

As the Distributed GPUs functionality is only a couple of days old [in the v2.0 release version of Pytorch], there is still no documentation regarding that. So, I had to go through the source code's docstrings for figuring out the difference. So, the docstring of the DistributedDataParallel module is as follows:
Implements distributed data parallelism at the module level. This container parallelizes the application of the given module by splitting the input across the specified devices by chunking in the batch dimension. The module is replicated on each machine and each device, and each such replica handles a portion of the input. During the backwards pass, gradients from each node are averaged. The batch size should be larger than the number of GPUs used locally. It should also be an integer multiple of the number of GPUs so that each chunk is the same size (so that each GPU processes the same number of samples).
And the docstring for the dataparallel is as follows:
Implements data parallelism at the module level. This container parallelizes the application of the given module by splitting the input across the specified devices by chunking in the batch dimension. In the forward pass, the module is replicated on each device, and each replica handles a portion of the input. During the backwards pass, gradients from each replica are summed into the original module. The batch size should be larger than the number of GPUs used. It should also be an integer multiple of the number of GPUs so that each chunk is the same size (so that each GPU processes the same number of samples).
This reply in the Pytorch forums was also helpful in understanding the difference between the both,

Straw Fountain
I'm always on the lookout for fun and easy science experiments to try with my kids, so when I came across this simple straw fountain, I knew I'd found a winner. You'd never guess by looking at it that this little straw triangle could act as a water pump, capable of spraying water halfway across the kitchen! (Grabbing some towels before you start is definitely recommended.) Silly as this straw fountain is, it actually opens up some really interesting questions about centrifugal forces if you want to take the discussion a little deeper. Or, just let your kids explore and experience some amazing spinning science!
 1. Ages: 5 - 16
 2. 30 minutes - 1 hour
 3. Super messy
Step-by-step tutorial
 - Step 1
 Cut a straw in half. Take one half and use a needle to poke a hole through the middle of the straw. Put a skewer through the hole.
 Photo reference of how to complete step 1
 - Step 2
 Use scissors to make two slits to the right and left of the skewer, about a half-inch away. Make sure you don't cut the straw all the way through.
 Photo reference of how to complete step 2
 - Step 3
 Adjust the placement of the straw on the skewer, so the skewer tip and the straw ends all meet at the same point. Use tape to secure the straw ends in place, making sure not to cover any straw openings.
 Photo reference of how to complete step 3
 - Step 4
 Fill a glass with water and hold the skewer so that the bottom tip of the triangle is submerged.
 Photo reference of how to complete step 4
 - Tip
 Do this part outside or somewhere you don't mind getting a little wet!
 - Step 5
 With the top of the triangle above water, roll the skewer between your hands and watch your DIY water fountain come to life! What happens if you spin a little faster or slower?

 Try making a bigger triangle shape and see what happens!

 What's going on? Believe it or not, this simple straw fountain works just like many industrial water pumps! Centrifugal pumps use motor-driven spinning blades to fling water radially outward, just like your fountain does. This is just like the behavior of paint in a spin art machine, or water in a washing machine. (Try peeking inside your washing machine while it's draining — you'll see the drum inside spinning very quickly, which flings the excess water out of drum.)
 The outwards push experienced by the water is called "centrifugal force" — except it's more accurate to call it a "pseudo force". You can explore how this works with another pseudo force you're probably familiar with. Say you're in a car as it accelerates from zero to sixty — you'll be pressed back into your seat. If the driver then slams on the brakes, you'll fly forward. In other words, you get thrown in the direction opposite your acceleration. It's the same thing with the water in the fountain. It's being moved in a circle, so the direction of acceleration is towards the center of the circle. The water experiences a push in the opposite direction, and is flung outwards through the straw — and all over the floor!

8. echo "\nProperty Value: " . $p->value . "\n\n";
 9. }
 10. }
This will create a Zend_Gdata_Gapps_OwnerFeed object which holds each member for the selected group.
Check to see if an email is the owner of a group
To check to see if an email is the owner of a group, simply call the isOwner() convenience method:
 1. $isOwner = $gdata->isOwner('_EMAIL_', 'friends');
 2. var_dump($isOwner);
The method returns a boolean value. If the email is the owner of the group specified, the method returns true, else it returns false.
Removing an owner from a group
To remove an owner from a group, call the removeOwnerFromGroup() convenience method:
 1. $gdata->removeOwnerFromGroup('_EMAIL_', 'friends');
Interacting with email lists
Email lists allow several users to retrieve email addressed to a single email address. Users do not need to be a member of this domain in order to subscribe to an email list provided their complete email address (including domain) is used.
Each email list on a domain is represented as an instance of Zend_Gdata_Gapps_EmailListEntry.
Creating an email list
Email lists can be created by calling the createEmailList() convenience method:
 1. $gdata->createEmailList('friends');
Email lists can also be created by instantiating EmailListEntry, providing a name for the list, then calling insertEmailList() on a service object to upload the entry to the server.
 1. $list = $gdata->newEmailListEntry();
 2. $list->emailList = $gdata->newEmailList('friends');
 3. $list = $gdata->insertEmailList($list);
Retrieving all email lists to which a recipient is subscribed
To retrieve all email lists to which a particular recipient is subscribed, call the retrieveEmailLists() convenience method:
 1. $feed = $gdata->retrieveEmailLists('_EMAIL_');
 2.
 3. foreach ($feed as $list) {
 4. echo ' * ' . $list->emailList->name . "\n";
 5. }
This will create a Zend_Gdata_Gapps_EmailListFeed object which holds each email list associated with the specified recipient.
Alternatively, create a new Zend_Gdata_Gapps_EmailListQuery, set its recipient property to the desired email address, and submit the query by calling getEmailListFeed() on a service object.
 1. $query = $gdata->newEmailListQuery();
 2. $query->setRecipient('_EMAIL_');
 3. $feed = $gdata->getEmailListFeed($query);
 4.
 5. foreach ($feed as $list) {
 6. echo ' * ' . $list->emailList->name . "\n";
 7. }
Retrieving all email lists in a domain
To retrieve all email lists in a domain, call the convenience method retrieveAllEmailLists().
 1. $feed = $gdata->retrieveAllEmailLists();
 2.
 3. foreach ($feed as $list) {
 4. echo ' * ' . $list->emailList->name . "\n";
 5. }
This will create a Zend_Gdata_Gapps_EmailListFeed object which holds each email list on the domain.
Alternatively, call getEmailListFeed() on a service object with no arguments.
 1. $feed = $gdata->getEmailListFeed();
 2.
 3. foreach ($feed as $list) {
 4. echo ' * ' . $list->emailList->name . "\n";
 5. }
Deleting an email list
To delete an email list, call the deleteEmailList() convenience method:
 1. $gdata->deleteEmailList('friends');
Interacting with email list recipients
Each recipient subscribed to an email list is represented by an instance of Zend_Gdata_Gapps_EmailListRecipient. Through this class, individual recipients can be added and removed from email lists.
Adding a recipient to an email list
To add a recipient to an email list, simply call the addRecipientToEmailList() convenience method:
 1. $gdata->addRecipientToEmailList('_EMAIL_', 'friends');
Retrieving the list of subscribers to an email list
The convenience method retrieveAllRecipients() can be used to retrieve the list of subscribers to an email list:
 1. $feed = $gdata->retrieveAllRecipients('friends');
 2.
 3. foreach ($feed as $recipient) {
 4. echo ' * ' . $recipient->who->email . "\n";
 5. }
Alternatively, construct a new EmailListRecipientQuery, set its emailListName property to match the desired email list, and call getEmailListRecipientFeed() on a service object.
 1. $query = $gdata->newEmailListRecipientQuery();
 2. $query->setEmailListName('friends');
 3. $feed = $gdata->getEmailListRecipientFeed($query);
 4.
 5. foreach ($feed as $recipient) {
 6. echo ' * ' . $recipient->who->email . "\n";
 7. }
This will create a Zend_Gdata_Gapps_EmailListRecipientFeed object which holds each recipient for the selected email list.
Removing a recipient from an email list
To remove a recipient from an email list, call the removeRecipientFromEmailList() convenience method:
 1. $gdata->removeRecipientFromEmailList('_EMAIL_', 'friends');
Handling errors
In addition to the standard suite of exceptions thrown by Zend_Gdata, requests using the Provisioning API may also throw a Zend_Gdata_Gapps_ServiceException. These exceptions indicate that a API specific error occurred which prevents the request from completing.
Each ServiceException instance may hold one or more Error objects. Each of these objects contains an error code, reason, and (optionally) the input which triggered the exception. A complete list of known error codes is provided in Zend Framework's API documentation under Zend_Gdata_Gapps_Error. Additionally, the authoritative error list is available online at » Google Apps Provisioning API V2.0 Reference: Appendix D.
While the complete list of errors received is available within ServiceException as an array by calling getErrors(), often it is convenient to know if one specific error occurred. For these cases the presence of an error can be determined by calling hasError().
The following example demonstrates how to detect if a requested resource doesn't exist and handle the fault gracefully:
 1. function retrieveUser ($username) {
 2. $query = $gdata->newUserQuery($username);
 3. try {
 4. $user = $gdata->getUserEntry($query);
 5. } catch (Zend_Gdata_Gapps_ServiceException $e) {
 6. // Set the user to null if not found
 7. if ($e->hasError(Zend_Gdata_Gapps_Error::ENTITY_DOES_NOT_EXIST)) {
 8. $user = null;
 9. } else {
 10. throw $e;
 11. }
 12. }
 13. return $user;
 14. }

Crooked River Watershed Council
Private landowners, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Oregon Department of Forestry, and OSU Extension Crook County
The Horse Heaven Creek restoration project is located on private lands in the upland habitats of the Horse Heaven Creek subbasin, which flows into the Crooked River above Bowman Dam in Crook County. This landscape-scale project focused on the removal of encroaching Western juniper on sage steppe habitats on private lands directly adjacent to the Ochoco National Forest. This collaborative project brought together local, state, and federal agencies and private landowners to address habitat degradation and fuels management in habitats critical for wildlife. Restoration goals included improving native sage steppe vegetation conditions, livestock grazing rotation and management, and the reduction of wildlife fuels.
Project activities included 5533 acres of juniper removal, 4,150 acres of prescribed burning, 2,250 acres of seeding, weed control, 22 off-stream water developments, and monitoring post-project responses. This project leveraged existing conservation work in the Horse Heaven watershed including Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Mule Deer Initiative funding for habitat improvement and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) funding for prescribed burns.
This project spawned additional interest in restoration of instream conditions on Horse Heaven Creek. In the summer of 2018, local partners worked with the same landowner to remove 2 fish passage barriers and improve riparian conditions along the creek adjacent to the upland juniper removal.

I'm trying to figure out whether an alarm clock 吵醒我， or 叫醒我。 I'd like to say the sentence my alarm clock woke me up at 5:30 today my translation so far is 今天早上五点半， 我手机的闹钟叫醒了我。 Can 叫醒 be done by inanimate objects? Is this construction used in chinese?

Yes, that is fine; it is quite common to use 叫醒 with alarms.
In fact you can use both 吵醒 and 叫醒 here, although there's a small difference in connotations. It isn't a very strong distinction though, so you needn't be overly concerned.
Anyway, 叫醒 normally means the action was intended to wake you. In contrast 吵醒 carries the sense that being woken up is unplanned or unwanted, i.e. some noise woke you (implying you aren't happy about it). For example, if your neighbours' alarm woke you, you'd normally use 吵醒. If the hotel's morning call woke you, that's normally 叫醒.

Great explanation. – deutschZuid Jul 20 '14 at 22:13
Would this be a better translation of the entire sentence: 今天早上五点半我被手机闹钟叫醒了。? IE use 被 to say I was woken BY the alarm? – Daniel Howard Jul 21 '14 at 15:55
_USER_ yes, that flows better imho – Semaphore Jul 21 '14 at 16:45
Is depend how you what to tell others on the clock. If you set the alarm and you like to tell your friend about it, and you mentioned
I need alarm to wake me up then use '叫醒' You not intend to wake up but someone accidentally turn on alarm for you then you use '吵醒'
'叫醒' use when you need someone to wake you
'吵醒' use it when you don't intend wake up but someone/something disturb your sleep.
