Can You Use A Paper Towel As A Coffee Filter Substitute?
This article answers an unusual question: Can you use a paper towel as a coffee filter substitute? We propose some ideas for improving the taste if you're out of options.

Paper towel is the closest coffee filter substitute you can find at home
You lazily walk into the kitchen with disheveled hair and eyes half-open to brew an aromatic pot of Java only to realize that you are out of coffee filters. OMG! What will you do?
This may spark feelings of anxiety and my true condolences are with you. But, you are not alone! Almost every coffee enthusiast or others faces this predicament when there is not enough time to rush to a store to get filters and you also don't want to go to the coffee shop.
So, what's the other alternative? A paper towel, because this is the closest substitute you can get for a filter. Just make sure you do not make it a habit to use paper towels frequently, and you will not have to worry about any health hazards.
Can You Use a Paper Towel As A Coffee Filter?
Yes, you can. When you have run out of coffee filters and you badly need your morning fix, you can try your old college roommate's method for a quick fix. As you put that paper towel in the filter cup, you may wonder if you are doing the right thing.
What about chemicals in the paper towel? Will they leach into your cuppa? Is this method harmful to your health? Let's find out.
Your coffee filter has a lot in common with paper towels. Other than the thickness and ability to absorb, they are few differences between the two. However, if you thought a paper is only made of wood pulp then you are mistaken.
You need to keep a few things in mind when using a paper towel as a substitute filter and I have mentioned them below:
Are The Papers Towels Bleached?
When the thought of using a paper towel in the place of filters crosses the mind, the first thing or concern is chemicals used for bleaching paper towels. Paper bleaching is certainly an issue and it can allow unwanted chemicals to leach into your cup.
However, in most cases, the contaminants are not severe and the health risks are negligible (unless you make it a habit to use paper towels every day).
When you pour hot water over the grounds placed inside the paper towel, water acts as an extracting agent for any industrial chemical used in the manufacturing process. As most paper towels are bleached using chlorine, the chlorinated dioxins present in the product may pose some health risks.

Water acts as an extracting agent for any industrial chemical
Surprisingly, a study in the '80s revealed that one in every ten thousand cases of cancer among coffee drinkers was due to dioxins leaching from the paper filters. While the chemicals leaching from coffee filters are low, the number of dioxins extracted from paper towels may certainly be harmful to your health in the long run.
While the recent improvements in the paper bleaching industry have reduced this risk to a large extent, some traces of dioxins may still be present in the bleached paper. If you wish to completely eliminate the risk of dioxin intake, switch to natural paper instead!
Are The Paper Towels Recycled?
Well, let's not forget that the paper towels were not designed to be used as a coffee filter. It is meant for wiping, but of course, you may use it as a makeshift paper filter when you badly need coffee and the box is empty. Everyone does. I have done it too.
However, the paper contains contaminants that it gets during the manufacturing process. These contaminants like strengthening agents, fillers, and dyes have rarely gone through toxicity testing. Some papers may even contain phthalates, Bisphenol-A (BPA), and other hormone imitating chemicals.
Food regulators approve these products because they believe that the papers will not come in contact with the food we consume. When the paper is recycled, contaminants also get recycled with the wood pulp, resulting in traces of chemicals in recycled paper towels.
That does not mean that you should not buy recycled paper towels because they have a myriad of environmental benefits. Just that using them for filtering your coffee is not the ideal way to start your mornings.
How To Use A Paper Towel As A Makeshift Coffee Filter？
Running out of coffee filters on a cold winter morning may feel like a big deal. You certainly don't want to go out of the house without something filling your grumpy stomach. This is when paper towels can come to your rescue.
Almost every household has paper towels so when you are in a situation like this, just grab a towel and make a temporary filter out of it. While your coffee may not taste as great, it is certainly better than no coffee at all!
Step 1: To make a temporary coffee filter, always use a full-sized paper towel and lay it flat over a table
Step 2: Now fold the paper towel vertically into half
Step 3: Again fold the paper towel into another half (you will now get an almost square shape)
Step 4: Now take the folded paper towel and use the open ends to create a pocket to put your coffee grinds and keep it back into the filter cup
Step 5: Put your favorite coffee grounds inside the pocket
Step 6: Remember to fold the outer edges to ensure that the pot lid closes completely
Step 7: Now add hot water (not boiling hot) slowly into the filter cup and let the coffee drip into the pot
Step 8: Now enjoy your morning coffee. This may not taste as great as the coffee flavor you are used to, but you can still manage to have coffee without any filters
What Are Other Alternatives To Paper Towel？
Many coffee enthusiasts may not approve of paper towels as the right substitute for paper filters. If you have similar feelings, here are some alternatives that you may try. Each method has its own set of pros and cons, but as I said these come in handy as a quick-fix solution when you suddenly run out of coffee filters.
Cheesecloth is a cotton cloth used in the making of cheese and it resembles a gauze used for separating liquids from solids. They come in different grades ranging from very fine to open ones. You may use a fine cheesecloth to brew when you have run out of coffee filters.
Use in the same method as mentioned for the paper towels. Fold or cut it into halves to fit your brewing equipment. The biggest advantage of using cheesecloth as a substitute is that the fabric is stronger than paper towels and it will not tear at the time of brewing.
On the downside, not many people have cheesecloth as easily available as paper towels. Even if you do, you will need to cut it and discard it after one use.
Cloth Napkin

Set a cloth napkin on the automatic drip or pour over the basket
If you have no paper towels at hand, you may use a dishtowel or a clean cloth napkin to brew your coffee. To use a cloth napkin as a filter, set it on the automatic drip or pour over the basket (you may use a rubber band to secure the cloth on the top while letting it slightly droop inside).
Now, put two tablespoons of freshly ground coffee inside the napkin and slowly pour hot water (again not boiling hot) into it. Carefully remove the cloth napkin from the mug to prevent the grounds from dropping into the mug and rinse the cloth.
The advantage of using this method is that almost everyone has a clean towel somewhere in the house and this is a reliable method. The cons include the probability of staining the cloth napkin, puddles on the sides of the mug, and your coffee tasting a lot like laundry detergent.
Mesh Sieve
Another way to save your mornings when you run out of coffee filters is using a mesh sieve. To use this option, put two tablespoons of coffee grounds in a measuring cup and pour not-very-hot water into the cup and stir it using a spoon. Let it sit for 5 minutes or more if you prefer a really strong coffee.
Now you can pour out the coffee into a mug using a fine mesh sieve.
The advantage of using this substitute is that it is extremely scalable and you may brew a whole pot of coffee using this method. You can also control how strong you want your coffee to be.
On the downside, a mesh sieve cannot hold the finest coffee grounds that drip into the mug and does not retain the oils that are usually absorbed by the filters. Your coffee may taste different using a mesh sieve, but this certainly better than no coffee!
Can You Use A Paper Towel As A Coffee Filter: The Final Word
Just because you ran out of coffee filters or you don't have access to one while traveling does not mean you have to give up the joy of treating yourself to a delicious cup of Joe. Using paper towels instead is a quick and reliable substitute that can save your mornings.
While coffee purists may disapprove of this method citing various reasons, I feel this is the most sustainable solution. After all, who doesn't have paper towels?
You may also try the other methods mentioned in this post to see what works best for you!

American Sign Language: "doctor"
NOTE: You will see the sign "doctor" done a number of ways. Do it however your local (qualified) instructor or local Deaf friends do it.
DOCTOR (recommended version)
Tap the fingertips of the dominant "bent hand" twice on the upturned wrist of the base hand.
Discussion: Where did this sign come from?
The "bent hand" evolved from an earlier version that used an "M" handshape. Why an "M" handshape? The "M" comes from back in the "old days" when doctors were commonly known as "medics." Over time, the bent hand replaced the "M" since the bent hand is easier to produce than an "M" handshape. Quite a few people (books, instructors, teachers etc.) do this sign with a "D" handshape. It is not worth arguing about. Really. I'm suggesting you know both versions and do it the way your local teacher does it or the way your local Deaf friends do it.
DOCTOR ("D" version)
In this version of doctor, the right "D" hand taps near where a doctor or nurse would take a person's pulse. The non-dominant hand (the left hand if you are right handed) can be either relaxed (curled up a bit) or flat.
A student writes: IHi Dr.V,I noticed in the sketch of this sign, the left hand is curled, almost closed. Yet in the variation of the 'doctor''medic' 'nurse' pictures, the left hand is open. Does it make a difference if the left hand is open or closed? Has the sign evolved to the open hand?Please advise.Thanks,Cathy
It is either. Really.
The "base hand" handshape is immaterial in that sign.
Most Deaf people if we aren't thinking about it will do it with a RELAXED hand (somewhat curled). If you ask us to "show you" the sign...we will get all "proper" and tend to do it with a palm-up flat hand. But when just hanging out amongst ourselves we do it with a relaxed base hand because it takes less effort.
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / Doctor of Education (EdD)
Do not use the sign for "medical doctor" to refer to your college professors unless they are indeed an "MD."
There is a difference between the sign for a medical doctor and an "academic" doctor. "Dr." as in Ph.D. (a doctor of philosophy) is generally fingerspelled. While the Deaf community is not overly concerned with titles, if you are introducing someone to an audience you would simply spell the letters "D-R" and then the name.
In most everyday communication we don't use titles. We use name signs instead.
The sign "NURSE" is an initialized form of the sign "Doctor." It uses an "N" handshape on your dominant hand.

text: A new methodology for the determination of self-diffusivities in solids and the corresponding activation energy of diffusion using in-situ Neutron Reflectometry is presented. In contrast to the classical ex-situ approach based on a sequence of isothermal measurements at different temperatures, the in-situ method allows one to work with a single experiment based on ramping the temperature with a constant rate. Our experiment demonstrates the success of the method for the model system of amorphous germanium. The activation energy of 2.2 eV and the absolute values of diffusivities achieved by the new method are in good agreement with the results of the classical approach, while a significantly lower amount of experimental time and samples are necessary. The presented method allows for an all-in-one type of experiment which can provide clearer and quicker results than similar methods using isothermal annealing procedures.

Let f and g be differentiable functions for all x\in\mathbb{R}
Now if f(x)=(g\circ f')(x), can I conclude that because f is differentiable,
thus (g\circ f') is differenitable.
And further that if (g\circ f') is differentiable then:
(g\circ f')'=g(f'(x))\cdot f''(x) and thus f is twice differentiable?
If not, then how about if g is bijective and thus has an inverse g^{-1}, and the inverse is differentiable.
f(x)=(g\circ f')
(g^{-1}\circ f)(x)=g^{-1}\circ(g\circ f')(x)=f'(x)
And now g^{-1}\circ f is a combination of 2 differentiable functions, thus
(g^{-1}\circ f)'=\left(f'(x)\right)'=f''(x)
then f is twice differentiable?
This is not homework, I am just thinking.

Negative zero error occurs when the '0' marking of the vernier scale appears before the '0' marking of the main scale. The error is -(0.1-y) cm. To correct the reading, we subtract the error from the measurement.
Negative Zero Error: If the zero of the Vernier scale is one the left of the main scale zero, then the zero error will be negative and zero correction will be positive. To find the zero error note the number of Vernier scale division which coincide with one of the main scale and multiply with least count.


[Powershell Script - Convert IIS logs to CSV]parsing IIS logs using PowerShell
There are multiple ways to do reporting on the IIS logs, there are various tools available for the same as well, but I thought to play around with string manipulation in PowerShell so got an idea to do a script on parsing and Converting IIS logs to Table format in PowerShell sessions or export to CSV.
The main motive of this post is to give an idea on how can we filter specific logs easily and generate a report out of IIS Logs in CSV format.
So let's start
Let's first get the content of the logs file in a Powershell array, which we want to search through to generate the report, we can loop through each log file if there are more than one log file.
Single File Example:
$logFilepath="D:\Logs\IISLogs.txt" $logdata=(gc $logfilepath)
To search through the multiple files.
foreach ($file in (Get-ChildItem $logFilePath))
Now Once we have the Logs consolidated, we can further search through $logdata for logs we are interested in.
Let's say I want to find out how many connection requests has been made by the user "Labadmin" for EWS service?
So to prepare the data into the tabular format, lets first get the table header.
As the 4th line of the logs has all the details, we are going to select that line only using the index no [3], for those who wondering why [3], the index in PowerShell start from [0,1,2,3] etc.
$CsvHeader=$logdata[3]."_TAG_: ","")
Now we can do a search through the logs.
$EWSLogs=$logdata |? {$_ -match "Labadmin" -and $_ -match "EWS"}
This will get us the log entries, where both strings match "Labdmin" and "EWS", we can add more -match to shorten the results,
Now we have the logs we wanted, as the logs file is delimited with space in between what we just need to do is to replace the space with the comma ",".
So let's see how we can do it.
lets first combined our header and EWS logs data to one array.
$FinalData=@() $FinalData+=$CsvHeader $FinalData+=$EWSLogs
Now we will use replace method to replace space with ",".
foreach ($line in $FinalData)
$newline=$line.replace(" ",",")
Now Let's convert it to a table form, once we have data in the table form we can work at the object level, or you can just export to CSV.
$Table = Convertfrom-Csv $Report -UseCulture
Now you will have data in Table and can do further analyses if you wish.
Let's further find out how many times this user made EWS connection successfully.
$table | Group-Object -Property sc-status
So this is how we can use PowerShell to do reporting on IIS logs, Please feel free to leave your comments, feedback, and suggestions.
Below is full consolidated script Code used in this post.
$logFilepath = "C:\Users\sunil\Desktop\caslogs.txt"
$logdata = Get-Content $logfilepath
$CsvHeader=$logdata[3].Replace("_TAG_: ","")
foreach ($line in $FinalData){
$Report+=$newline }
$table = Convertfrom-Csv $Report -UseCulture
$table | Group-Object -Property sc-status

Finding Usages of a Symbol
This command allows finding all usages of a specific symbol in the currently loaded assemblies. You can start the search from the declaration of the symbol or from any other usage. You can invoke this command from the code viewer, from the File Structure Window and other tool windows.
To find usages of a symbol
- Place the caret on a symbol in the code viewer or select the symbol in a tool window.
- Do one of the following:
- If you try to search for usages of an overriding or implementing member of a derived type, you are prompted to specify whether you want to add usages of the base members to the list of search results. Choose No to search for usages of the overriding member only. Choose Yes to search for usages of both the overridden and base members.
- If a single usage is found, dotPeek will navigate you to the usage directly in the code viewer. Two or more search results will be shown in the Find Results Window.
Finding usages of generic types
When searching for usages of generic types, e.g.
IFoo, you may actually want to find either all usages of
or usages of the exact generic substitution
By default, dotPeek allows you to disambiguate the search results by showing an additional popup:
This feature is inspired by and borrowed from JetBrains ReSharper, a developer productivity tool for Microsoft Visual Studio.


Foodservice Equipment – How a Garbage Disposal Works
How a Garbage Disposal Works
Many people think a garbage disposal works like a blender, with spinning blades chopping and breaking down the waste. In reality, garbage disposals work in a different way – and there are NO blades involved.
Instead, impellers, or lugs, mounted on a spinning plate use centrifugal force to continuously force food waste particles against a stationary grind ring.
The "grind ring" breaks down the food waste into very fine particles, virtually liquefying them. After they're ground, the running water flushes the particles through the "grind ring" and out of the disposer and into your waste water pipe.
From there, it flows to a wastewater treatment plant or your septic system.

A newly created Sample Limit Template is not enforcing sample limits. If the first sample transaction does not reach the limit, then the second sample transaction is made. If the user chooses the maximum limit during the transaction, this results in a negative remaining quantity.
Example: The New and unused Cholecap Sample Limit Template allows two total samples per account. The user samples one, Saves the call, and goes back to the Sample Account to sample again by choosing two samples. The system allows the user to do this, which results in a -3 remaining quantity on the sample limit record after the information is synced Online.
When a Sample Limit Template is used for the first time on a mobile device and the limit is not reached during the time of the sample transaction, an incremental sync is needed. This is done to populate Sample Limit records Online and to sync them back down to the device.
After sampling and while not reaching the total allowed limit during that transaction, the user needs to initiate an incremental sync.

 Two portals, report all information

 Title
 Two portals, report all information
 Post
 I am a farmer, and I have a lot of fields that I farm. I am trying to match invoices with fields. I have a table called Fields, another called Invoice, and another to share the relationship called share. I can currently input data into my invoices and link it to certain fields, but I can not figure out how to report all the information. I made three reports. each based on one of the tables. The problem is that they show all the records from the table from which I am basing the table, but only the first related record. For example if I build a report off of the field table, It shows all the fields, but only the first line of invoice.
 - 1. Re: Two portals, report all information
 philmodjunk
 I think you have this relationship between your three tables:
 Invoice---<Share>---Fields (---< means "one to many")
 I think a summary report that uses sub summary parts will do what you want. This approach should allow you to pull in database fields from a related parent table to use as a sub header for a group of records that all match to this same parent record such as a group of share records that all relate to a specific Invoice record.
 Here's a tutorial that uses invoicing as model for learning how to setup a summary report:

 See if that helps you out and feel free to post back with more questions if it doesn't

LATEST VERSION: 9.3.2 - RELEASE NOTES
Pivotal GemFire® v9.3
Implementing Delta Propagation
By default, delta propagation is enabled in your distributed system. When enabled, delta propagation is used for objects that implement org.apache.geode.Delta. You program the methods to store and extract delta information for your entries and to apply received delta information.
Use the following procedure to implement delta propagation in your distributed system.
 1. Study your object types and expected application behavior to determine which regions can benefit from using delta propagation. Delta propagation does not improve performance for all data and data modification scenarios. See When to Avoid Delta Propagation.
 2. For each region where you are using delta propagation, choose whether to enable cloning using the delta propagation property cloning-enabled. Cloning is disabled by default. See Delta Propagation Properties.
 3. If you do not enable cloning, review all associated listener code for dependencies on EntryEvent.getOldValue. Without cloning, GemFire modifies the entry in place and so loses its reference to the old value. For delta events, the EntryEvent methods getOldValue and getNewValue both return the new value.
 4. For every class where you want delta propagation, implement org.apache.geode.Delta and update your methods to support delta propagation. Exactly how you do this depends on your application and object needs, but these steps describe the basic approach:
 1. If the class is a plain old Java object (POJO), wrap it for this implementation and update your code to work with the wrapper class.
 2. Define as transient any extra object fields that you use to manage delta state. This can help performance when the full object is distributed. Whenever standard Java serialization is used, the transient keyword indicates to Java to not serialize the field.
 3. Study the object contents to decide how to handle delta changes. Delta propagation has the same issues of distributed concurrency control as the distribution of full objects, but on a more detailed level. Some parts of your objects may be able to change independent of one another while others may always need to change together. Send deltas large enough to keep your data logically consistent. If, for example, field A and field B depend on each other, then your delta distributions should either update both fields or neither. As with regular updates, the fewer producers you have on a data region, the lower your likelihood of concurrency issues.
 4. In the application code that puts entries, put the fully populated object into the local cache. Even though you are planning to send only deltas, errors on the receiving end could cause GemFire to request the full object, so you must provide it to the originating put method. Do this even in empty producers, with regions configured for no local data storage. This usually means doing a get on the entry unless you are sure it does not already exist anywhere in the distributed region.
 5. Change each field's update method to record information about the update. The information must be sufficient for toDelta to encode the delta and any additional required delta information when it is invoked.
 6. Write hasDelta to report on whether a delta is available.
 7. Write toDelta to create a byte stream with the changes to the object and any other information fromDelta will need to apply the changes. Before returning from toDelta, reset your delta state to indicate that there are no delta changes waiting to be sent.
 8. Write fromDelta to decode the byte stream that toDelta creates and update the object.
 9. Make sure you provide adequate synchronization to your object to maintain a consistent object state. If you do not use cloning, you will probably need to synchronize on reads and writes to avoid reading partially written updates from the cache.This synchronization might involve toDelta, fromDelta, toData, fromData, and other methods that access or update the object. Additionally, your implementation should take into account the possibility of concurrent invocations of fromDelta and one or more of the object's update methods.


text: We perform laser induced fluorescence(LIF) spectroscopy on a pulsed supersonic beam of tungsten carbide(WC) molecules, which has been proposed as a candidate molecular system for a permanent Electric Dipole Moment(EDM) search of the electron in its rovibrational ground state of the X3Delta1 state. In particular, [20.6]Omega=2, v'=4 <- X3Delta1,v"=0 transition at 485nm was used for the detection. The hyperfine structure and the Omega-doublet of the transition are measured, which are essential for estimating the size of the potential systematic uncertainties for electron EDM measurement. For further suppression of the systematic uncertainty, an alternative electron EDM measurement scheme utilizing the g factor crossing point of the Omega-doublet levels is discussed. On the other hand, flux and internal temperature of the molecular beam are characterized, which sets the limit on the statistical uncertainty of the electron EDM experiment. With the given results, the prospect of electron EDM experiment with the X3Delta1 state of WC molecule is discussed.

This paper investigates the use and extension of text retrieval and clustering techniques for event detection. The task is to automatically detect novel events from a temporally-ordered stream of news stories, either retrospectively or as the stories arrive. We applied hierarchical and non-hierarchical document clustering algorithms to a corpus of 15,836 stories, focusing on the exploitation of both content and temporal information. We found the resulting cluster hierarchies highly informative for retrospective detection of previously unidentified events, effectively supporting both query-free and query-driven retrieval. We also found that temporal distribution patterns of document clusters provide useful information for improvement in both retrospective detection and on-line detection of novel events. In an evaluation using manually labelled events to judge the system-detected events, we obtained a result of 82% in the Fl measure for retrospective detection, and a Fl value of 42% for on-line detection.

Making Reusable iPhone Widgets with Interface Builder
One annoying thing about Interface Builder, at least for the iPhone, is that there is not a direct way of making reusable widgets that are both made *in* Interface Builder and *for* Interface Builder. I came up, though, with a set of instructions and helpers that make the process fairly painless. The class is called IBView, and should be used as the parent class for your reusable widget.
Here's how to create the widget:
 1. Create a class for your new widget, called MyWidget. Inherit from the IBView class (code provided below). Create all of the IBOutlets you want for your widget.
 2. Create a view with the same name as your widget class in Interface Builder. If your widget was named "MyWidget.m" then your interface should be called "MyWidget.xib". DO NOT set the class of this view or any subview to be of the MyWidget (or whatever class you are create) type. DO NOT do it.
 3. Set the "File's Owner" of your interface in Interface Builder to be the name of the class that you are creating - MyWidget in this case.
 4. Set up any connections you want between your IB view and File's Owner (i.e. your widget).
Now, your widget is created. You can now use the view in any IB panel by doing putting in a generic UIView, and setting the class name to your new class (MyWidget in this case).
Important caveat - one consequence of creating the view in Interface Builder is that there will be an extra view between the main view represented by your class and the rest of the elements of your class. Basically, your custom view acts as a generic view, and then *loads in* your Interface Builder file as a subview, meaning that the toplevel view in Interface Builder will sit under your MyWidget view. This is usually unimportant if you are just using IBOutlet stuff, but if you do advanced view management, it would be important to know that a view sits between you and the rest of your sub-widgets.
Okay, here is the code for IBView.m - just very simple code, with a tiny bit of Objective-C magic thrown in:
_TAG_ "IBView.h"
_USER_ IBView
-(void) loadViewsFromBundle {
NSString *class_name = NSStringFromClass([self class]);
NSLog(@"Loading bundle: %@", class_name);
UIView *mainSubView = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:class_name owner:self options:nil] lastObject];
[self addSubview:mainSubView];
-(id) initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder {
self = [super initWithCoder:coder];
if(self) {
[self loadViewsFromBundle];
return self;
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
[self loadViewsFromBundle];
// Initialization code.
return self;
And IBView.h is super-simple:
_TAG_
_USER_ IBView : UIView {
And that's all there is to it!

The structural relationship between negative thermal expansion and quartic anharmonicity of cubic ScF3
|Date/Time:||Thursday, 19 Jan 2012 - Thursday, 19 Jan 2012|
|Location:||PHYSICS Room 5|
|Channel:||Condensed Matter Physics|
California Institute of Technology
Cubic scandium tri-fluoride (ScF3) has a large negative thermal expansion over a wide range of temperature. Inelastic neutron scattering experiments were performed with the ARCS spectrometer at the SNS to study the temperature dependence of the lattice dynamics of ScF3 from 7 to 750 K. The measured phonon densities of states show a large anharmonic contribution with a thermal stiffening of modes around 25meV. Phonon calculations with first-principles methods identified the individual modes in the DOS, and frozen phonon calculations showed that some of the modes with motions of F atoms transverse to their bond direction behave as quantum quartic oscillators. The quartic potential originates from harmonic interatomic forces in the DO9 structure of ScF3, and accounts for phonon stiffening with temperature and a significant part of the negative thermal expansion.

If you're serious about improving your game and becoming a pro, then you need to be recording your gameplay. Console recording has many benefits that go beyond simple improvement of your game and can change the way you play entirely to track psychographic segmentation.
In this guide from WatchThemLive, I'll cover 5 benefits of console recording and how to get started with it today. So let's get started!
#1 Better Video Editing
Console recording can make your video editing process much smoother. By recording your gameplay footage directly from the console, you can avoid having to transfer files from one device to another. This can save you time and frustration, especially if you're working with large files.
Console recording can also improve the audio quality of your videos. When you record directly from the console, you bypass the need for an external microphone, which can sometimes pick up the unwanted background noise.
#2 Shareable Videos
Recording your console gaming sessions can result in some highly shareable videos. After all, who doesn't love watching someone else dominate a game? But there are other benefits to recording your gameplay as well.
#3 More Consistent Videos
If you record your videos directly onto your computer, you're at the mercy of your computer's performance.
Console recording gives you a more consistent video quality because it takes the load off of your computer. This is especially important if you plan on recording long videos or if you'll be doing a lot of recording at once.
#4 Get Rid of Fear
One of the best things about console recording is that it can help you get over the fear of recording. This is because you can take your time setting up the perfect recording without having to worry about making mistakes.
Plus, you can always go back and make changes if you need to. Another great thing about console recording is that it saves you both time and money! It eliminates the need for expensive equipment like microphones or soundproofing.
If there are anything a solo artist needs, it's an audio engineer who can provide constructive feedback on what sounds good and what doesn't. Console recordings let you have a personal audio engineer for free!
#5 Save Time and Money
One of the main benefits of console recording is that it can save you time and money. With console recording, you can record all of your tracks at once, which can save you a lot of time in the studio.
In addition, console recording can be less expensive than tracking each instrument separately. Console recording is also great for getting a tight, cohesive sound from your band.
Video game recording, also known as Console Recording or Screen Recording, allows you to capture gameplay and save it to your computer for editing, sharing, and uploading. It can be used as part of a Let's Play series on YouTube or Twitch, in video reviews of new games or expansions, and even by gamers who want to create their own narrated walkthroughs of popular titles or mods they've created themselves. Although it can take some time to set up, there are lots of benefits to video game recording that make the time and effort worth it!

Development of Guqin cultural practice activities
From December 26th to 27th, our college organized more than 80 students from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan to go to Zhangzhou Longren Guqin Cultural Village to carry out cultural practice activities to learn the connotation of Chinese culture in depth.
In the Longren Guqin Cultural Village, the students learned the basic knowledge of the guqin, "hook", "picked", "prose", "overtone" and other fingering techniques, played "Deng Guan Que Lou" and other repertoires; tried Teng style butterfly painting learning Chen Jun, the eighteenth-generation successor of Teng school butterfly painting, and representative inheritor of the Teng school butterfly painting technique of Xiamen's intangible cultural heritage protection project teaches students the history of Teng school butterfly painting and butterfly painting techniques.
Liang Yuan, a student from Taiwan, said: "It is antique here, and you can also learn to play the guqin and paint butterflies. It is like entering the mind of an ancient poet, allowing us to learn more about Chinese culture and have a deeper understanding."
It is reported that carrying out cultural practice activities is one of the important forms of education about the national conditions of Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan overseas Chinese students in our college. Going out of the campus and going deep into the society, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan overseas students can understand the profoundness of learning Chinese traditional culture, enhance cultural identity, and promote Chinese culture.


Breeze File "Open" and "Open To" dialogs | DiscoveryBiz.Net
Breeze File "Open" and "Open To" dialogs
The following options allow you to specify which file to open:
"File Name" combo box
Specifies the file you want to open. This box lists files with the extension you select in the Files of Type field.
"Files of type" combo box
Specifies the type of file / stream you want to open.
"Open To" combo box
Specifies the channel where file / stream will be open to.
"Details" check box
This checkbox specifies whether to use info and preview panels of File dialog box (turn On / Off) when cursor in the file list window is set to the new position.
When info and preview functions are turned off, scrolling through the file list is faster. Usually info and preview operations are so fast that is it difficult to notice difference between speed of scrolling in checked and unchecked states. An impact of image preview operation is noticeable only when sizes of images displayed in the preview window are very big, or if files / streams are accessed at the remote computer via network with a low data access speed.
"Options..." button
Click this button, if it is enabled, to open a dialog where you can specify details of data format, data access etc. for the currently selected file / stream.
There are exists popular file / stream data formats which can not be identified precisely by the specific signature information kept in the file name, file name extension, in the the file header contents etc. Often signature or file name extension information allows identifying a general type only of a file data format. As a result those files / streams can not be recognized and visualized properly. For example, there exists hundreds YUV video and image formats with the same "yuv" file extension.
Breeze recognizes a number of that sort situations and offer the user an option to specify data format. When such file / stream is selected, Breeze enables the "Options..." button, and you can access dialog where details of data format for the selected file / stream can be specified. Picture in the preview panel is changed according to the specifications set in the dialog.

Historic Longerenong College is one of Australia's leading tertiary institutions specialising in agriculture and land-management.
Established in 1889 by the Council of Agricultural Education, we opened our doors with an enrolment of just 20 students. Original courses were aimed at the sons of farmers who required the equivalent of second year of high school to enrol. Exams were held on Saturday mornings and farm work and classes were often held at night and on weekends. With a strict "lights out" at 10pm rule, no alcohol allowed on the premises and mandatory attendance at church, students would eagerly await the monthly dances, when a busload of girls would arrive from Horsham.
In 1972, the College proudly became one of the first agricultural colleges to accept female students.
The number of female students swelled in 2015 to the point where females outnumbered the males for the first time in the history of the college.
Within our first year of operation, Longerenong was taken over by the Department of Agriculture who ran it until it became part of the Victorian College of Agriculture and Horticulture (VCAH).
In 1993, the VCAH became a school of the University of Melbourne and by mid-1997, VCAH was formally amalgamated with the University's Faculty of Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry to form the Institute of Land and Food Resources.
The College remained a campus of the Institute of Land and Food Resources until the end of 2005 when the University of Melbourne withdrew responsibility and our courses and training was awarded to WORKCO Limited, now rebranded to Skillinvest Limited.
Today, we are fondly known as Longy!
Drawing upon our rich educational history, we keep ahead of industry needs, providing students with access to modern agricultural practices and hands on training. We're proud to stand at the agricultural forefront, carving out dynamic futures for our students.

How to grow a goatee
The Goatee is everywhere, from Hollywood to your local high street, and there's a good reason for its popularity.
 It's about the smallest beard you can grow (not counting the Soul Patch). In fact, its almost a'starter beard' (which you can extend into a Full Goatee - aka Circle Beard - at a later stage). You can practice trimming it, shaving it into slightly different shapes, and pulling at it a bit with your fingers when you want to indicate puzzlement. As boys' toys go, it's easier to acquire than most, and it doesn't need batteries. Enjoy!
2. Using your beard trimmer without the comb, remove the rest of your moustache and beard, except for a small section underneath (and a bit wider than) your mouth
3. Set your precision trimmer to 1-2mm. Trim a line on your chin 5mm from the corner of your lip on each side, and connect this line below the jawbone.
4. Curve a line around your Soul Patch on each side.
5. Finish the job off by using a rotary shaver on everything that's not part of your Original Goatee.

First focal plane (FFP) refers to the placement of the reticle in a rifle scope. In an FFP optic, the reticle is in the front part of the optical system, near the objective lens. The reticle's size changes with the scope's magnification. This allows for accurate range estimation at any setting.
Let's take a look at the history of FFP optics, who makes them now, examples of current optics, pros & cons, FFP vs SFP, and price ranges.
The History of First Focal Plane Optics
The history of FFP optics began in WWII. Military snipers started using telescopic sights to engage long-range targets. To improve range estimation accuracy, military optics manufacturers experimented with different reticle placements. They eventually settled on FFP design.
During WWII, the use of scopes on military rifles became widespread. They allowed snipers to engage targets at longer ranges with greater accuracy. However, early telescopic sights had a challenge. The reticle remained a constant size, regardless of the magnification setting.
This made it difficult to accurately estimate the range to the target. The size of the target would change with the magnification, but the size of the reticle would not.
Military optics manufacturers began experimenting with different reticle placements. One solution was to place the reticle in the front part of the system, near the objective lens. This caused the reticle's size to change with the target's size at any magnification.
Easier range estimation and better aiming accuracy were the result.
Boom. First focal plane optics were born.
These new optics helped snipers adjust their aim faster. The holdover points on the reticle were now more accurate. This allowed wind and bullet drop compensation at longer distances.
Military snipers made the FFP design popular. It soon became the standard for long-range shooting.
FFP Optics are still popular with military, tactical shooters, hunters and competitive shooters.
Who Makes First Focal Plane Scopes?
There are several manufacturers of first focal plane (FFP) optics, including:
Many different companies design and manufacture FFP optics. These companies offer products ranging from low-cost, affordable optics to high-end, precision optics.
Designing and making these optics is a difficult and skilled process. It requires expertise in a range of fields including optics, engineering, and manufacturing.
FFP optics manufacturers design the housing and lens system to precise tolerances.
This aligns the reticle in the optical system. Reticle designers consider reticle visibility at different magnification levels. They also consider how the reticle's placement affects its appearance and use. A well designed reticle provides accurate and useful information to the shooter.
Once the entire optic design is complete, then the manufacturing process can start. This usually includes machining, assembling, and checking the quality of the optic. Each controlled step makes sure the final product meets high standards. This process takes a long time and requires a lot of work. This is why FFP optics are often more expensive than SFP optics.
Designing and making FFP optics requires skill, knowledge, and precision manufacturing. This leads to optics that provide accurate range estimation at any magnification setting.
Examples of First Focal Plane Scopes
Some examples of first focal plane (FFP) optics include
Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50 FFP rifle scope
Trijicon AccuPower 1-8×28 FFP rifle scope
Nightforce ATACR 7-35×56 FFP rifle scope
These are just a few examples of FFP optics available on the market. There are many other manufacturers and models of FFP optics available, each with its own unique features and capabilities.
Pros & Cons of FFP Optics
Pros of FFP optics:
Reticle size changes with magnification, allowing accurate range estimation at any setting
Holdover points on the reticle help compensate for bullet drop at longer distances
Reticle stays the same size relative to the target, making it easier to make quick adjustments to aim
FFP optics allow for the use of ranging reticles, which can be used to estimate the range to the target
Cons of FFP optics:
Reticle can appear distorted at low magnification settings, making it difficult to see or use
FFP optics are often more expensive than second focal plane (SFP) optics
The reticle can appear cluttered or busy at high magnification settings, making it difficult to use
The reticle may be difficult to see in low light conditions, especially at low magnification settings.
First Focal Plane (FFP) vs Second Focal Plane (SFP)
First focal plane (FFP) optics and second focal plane (SFP) optics are two different types of rifle scopes. Each has its own unique features and capabilities.
Reticle & Crosshairs Comparison
One key difference between FFP and SFP optics is the placement of the reticle, or crosshairs.
FFP optics place the reticle in the front part of the optical system, near the objective lens. This allows the reticle to change size with magnification, as we've already discussed.
SFP optics place the reticle in the rear part of the optical system, near the eyepiece. Reticle size stays the same, regardless of magnification settings.
Holdover Points Comparison
Another difference between FFP and SFP optics is the use of holdover points on the reticle. In an FFP optic, the reticle can be designed with holdover points, which can be used to compensate for bullet drop at longer distances. Because the reticle size changes with the magnification, the holdover points will remain accurate at any magnification setting. In an SFP optic, the reticle does not change size, so holdover points are not as useful.
Additionally, FFP optics are often more expensive than SFP optics, as the manufacturing process is more complex. This can be a consideration when choosing between FFP and SFP optics.
What's the price range of First Focal Plane Scopes?
The price range of first focal plane (FFP) optics can vary widely, depending on the quality and features of the optic. Budget-friendly FFP optics can be found for under $100, while high-end, precision optics can cost $3,000 and up.
One factor that can affect the price of FFP optics is the manufacturer. Some of the top gun scope manufacturers, such as Vortex, Trijicon, and Nightforce, offer a range of FFP optics at different price points. These companies generally produce high-quality optics, but their top-of-the-line models can be quite expensive.
Another factor that can affect the price of FFP optics is the quality of the lens and housing. Higher-quality optics will typically use high-grade lenses and precision-machined housings, which can add to the cost of the optic. Additionally, features like illuminated reticles and variable magnification can also affect the price.
Overall, the price range of FFP optics can vary widely, from budget-friendly options to high-end, precision optics. When shopping for an FFP optic, it is important to consider the intended use and the specific features and capabilities of the optic, as well as the price.

Chad Orzel's young son recently read the classic children's book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. He asked his father how long it took the rabbit to say goodnight to everything. Orzel ran some calculations based upon the movements of the moon (pictured above) over the course of the story:
So, how can we use this to measure the passage of time? Well, we know that the full moon in the sky covers an angle of about half a degree of arc. On our big copy of the book, the diameter of the moon in the final illustration is just about 7/8" (I only have an English-unit tape measure here), while the distance from the corner of the window to the outer edge of the moon is 2 and 5/8", exactly three times the diameter. So the moon has moved through about 1.5 degrees in the course of the story.
Now, the Earth rotates through 360 degrees in just about 24 hours, which is 15 degrees per hour (the Moon's motion is slightly slower, owing to its orbital motion, but it's not a significant difference for our purposes). This suggests that the bunny's goodnight ritual takes about 0.1 hour, or six minutes.

Axis of Power was exhibited at the Sharjah Biennial 9. 'Axis of Power' renders visible the immaterial nature of power. Dwarfing the viewer on a scale as large as a cinema screen 'Axis of Power' forces us to navigate itself in order to explore the interplay between two and three-dimensions, and in doing so, situating us within its power-relationship. This white monochrome is neither an image nor an object but rather something in-between. Like a scientific specimen; the power of nature appears to have been captured, isolated and objectified within the confines of the architecture.

How much aspirin did you use? Did you do a control? You should try
putting flowers of the same type, cut at the same time, in equal amounts
of plain water (this is your control), and water with several different
concentrations of aspirin. Different concentrations may work differently
for different kinds of flowers. Too much aspirin may be worse than plain
water. Aspirin may be more or less effective depending on how fresh the
cut flowers are too.
If you design your experiment carefully, you should be able to draw
conclusions like "One aspirin per x amount of water makes (this kind
of) freshly cut flowers last n times as long without wilting than plain
water, but one aspirin per y amount of water is worse than no aspirin
in prolonging freshness".
It's usually a good idea to make a fresh cut before putting cut flowers
in water with or without additives, since the cut end seals up when it
dries, and the stem can't take in more fluid.

Let Gm,k := Z/mZ
× Z/mkZ be an abelian group of rank 2 and order N = mk
does there exist a ﬁnite ﬁeld Fp and an elliptic curve E/Fp such that E(Fp )
≃ Gm,k? We
show that this happens with probability 0 when k is very small with respect to m, and
with probability 1 when k is big enough with respect to m. The fact that the groups Gm,k
are more likely to occur when k is big is reminiscent of the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics which
predict that a random abelian group G occurs with probability weighted by _TAG_/_TAG_(G).
By counting the average number of times that a given group Gm,k occurs over the ﬁnite
ﬁelds Fp (and not simply when a given group occurs or not), we are able to verify that
the probability of occurrence of the groups Gm,k is indeed weighted by the Cohen-Lenstra
This is joint work with V. Chandee, D. Koukoulopoulos and E. Smith.

REPORTING ENRICHMENT FORMS
Production reporting can be time-consuming. Our Reporting Enrichment Forms (REF) eliminates the need to spend hours filling in spreadsheets by capturing data automatically from web-based forms and your Fleet Management System. Managing business targets, shift handover notes and machine configurations has never been easier.
Example Use Cases
REF is a versatile tool which can be easily customised to meet your business needs. Example uses include:
Asset Groupings: Assigning multiple assets to a single piece of equipment - for example, a drill rig with multiple engines operating in a region under a single fleet manager. Aggregated reports can then be created based on these hierarchy levels as desired.
Recommended Actions: Creating action lists based on specific operating parameters. This helps to keep your fleet management organised, and in particular, can help less experienced personnel manage the fleet.
Asset Configurations: Adjusting equipment configurations such as tonnage capacity, enabling more realistic and meaningful reporting.
Production Targets: Setting up target production tonnes per shift to compare to actual tonnes produced, making clear where targets are and aren't being met.
Shift Notes: Adding comments to a shift to provide context for performance, allowing you to note factors such as adverse weather conditions, accidents and poor loading conditions
How it works
REF allows you to input data on-site targets, limits, grouped assets etc. into customisable web-based forms. The form-entered information is then captured in a database alongside data from your Fleet Management System and other automated sources. This allows you to easily generate reports through software such as SAP BusinessObjects. Multiple linked pages can be quickly generated through REF for each business use.


Creating VM Filters for Azure Stack HCI
You can create a filter for a VM group to exclude VMs from backups.
Before You Begin
To select VMs based on views or automatic discovery rules, see "Views and Rule Options" (below).
Considerations
If a virtual machine is explicitly added to the content of a subclient, the virtual machine will be discovered by its GUID. If the display name changes later, the machine is still included in the subclient as long as its GUID remains the same. Any virtual machines identified in a subclient and discovered by their GUIDs will not be filtered from backups.
Procedure
 1. From the navigation pane, go to Protect > Virtualization.
 The Virtual machines page appears.
 2. Click the VM groups tab.
 The VM group page appears. The VM groups area displays summary information for any existing VM groups.
 3. Click the VM group that you want to create a VM filter for.
 4. In the Content section, click Manage.
 The VM group content dialog box appears.
 1. On the Filters tab, specify the VMs to exclude:
 2. To select specific VMs, click Add virtual machines, and then select the VMs.
 3. To select VMs by rules, complete the following steps:
 1. Click Add filter rule.
 The Add rule dialog box appears.
 2. From the Select rule for list, select a rule type.
 3. From the Which matches with list, select the option for how to match the string in Name.
 4. In the Name box, enter the string for the rule.
 5. Click OK.
Views and Rule Options
When you define content or filters for a VM group, you can change the view and select specific entities, or define rules to automatically select VMs that meet specific criteria.
Views
When you browse to select VMs for VM group content or filters, you can select a browse method for the Browse and select VMs list, and then expand the tree below the list to select hosts, specific VMs, or VM storage locations for the VM group, or to clear previous selections.
You can select one of the following options from the list to control the browse display:
 - Group by host: Select this option to view hosts and the VMs running on each host. Select a host entry to protect all VMs on the host, or expand the tree to select specific VMs.
 Virtual machines are shown directly under the host.
 - Storage: Select this option to view storage containing virtual machine data. Select the storage entry to protect all VMs on the storage, or expand the tree to select specific VMs.
 - VMs: Select this option to browse and select specific VMs.
Rules
You can define rules to discover virtual machines automatically.
When you add a rule, from the Select rule for list, choose one of the following rules and then, from the Which matches with list, select Equals, Contains, Starts with, or Ends with:
 - Guest DNS hostname: In the Name box, type a hostname or a pattern to identify a hostname or domain (for example, myhost.mycompany.com to identify a specific host or *mycompany.com to identify all hosts on that domain).
 - Guest OS: In the Name box, type the exact name of the operating system or a pattern to identify an operating system group (for example, Microsoft* to identify any virtual machine that has a version of the Windows operating system).
 - Host: In the Name box, type the host name, the IP address of the host, or a host name pattern using wildcards. When you add a host, all virtual machines on the host are included in the backup.
 - Notes: In the Name box, type a pattern to identify virtual machines based on notes text contained in annotations for the VM summary (for example, Test* to identify VMs with a note that begins with "Test").
 - Power state: From the Name list, select the power on status of virtual machines to be included in the VM group content. You can select On to identify VMs that are powered on, Off to identify VMs that are powered off, or Other to identify VMs with a different power on status, such as Suspended.
 - Virtual machine name/pattern: In the Name box, type the display name of the virtual machine or a pattern using wildcards (for example, Test* to identify VMs for which the VM name begins with "Test").

I imported my image with three bands (RGB) with 100*100 tiles using raster2pgsql into the DB. Now, I need to export those tiles separately. I used the following code but it produces a table
 select st_aspng(st_reclass(rast,1,'0-100:0-100','8BUI',0)) from myraster.test where rid=1;
So I need some help to improve this code or even revise it to a suitable form.

I found the solution to this question:
Using gdalwarp and PG was worked:
gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:4326 -tr 100 100 -of PNG -r bilinear PG:"host=localhost port=5432 dbname='postgis' user='***' password='***' schema='chp01' table='raster_table' mode='1'" rast_name.png
mode - option is used to know the expected arrangement of the raster table. There are 2 possible values
mode=1 - ONE_RASTER_PER_ROW mode. In this case, a raster table is considered as a bunch of different raster files. This mode is intended for raster tables storing different raster files. It's the default mode if you don't provide this field in connection string.
mode=2 - ONE_RASTER_PER_TABLE mode. In this case, a raster table is considered as a unique raster file, even if the table has more than one row. This mode is intended for reading tiled rasters from database.
In my case since I imported the image in different tiles, number 1 can provide suitable result

Asbestos is still present in some 80% of the Flemish schools in Brussels, according to Schoolgroep Brussel (SGB), the group representing the education system of the Flemish Community, Belga reports.
The group keeps an inventory of asbestos in schools, which is updated every year. It has around 100 schools under its responsibility, of which six schools in 2019 had asbestos removed. The substance is now known to be carcinogenic, but was widely used as a fire retardant in construction – of homes as well as public buildings – as late as the 1990s.
"There is no fixed plan for removing asbestos from buildings," Karin Struys, spokesperson for the SGB, told Bruzz. "Whenever there's a risk then of course immediate removal is carried out. And in cases of renovations, big or small, asbestos is always removed."
The process of removing asbestos is in itself extremely dangerous as it releases fibres into the air, so it is always carried out by specialist contractors.
Protection at present takes two forms. First, the inventory is kept up to date each year, and can be consulted by prevention experts from the SGB. Second, prevention advisers within schools undergo training in how to recognise asbestos and how to deal with it. But the question of how to deal with it costs money.
"Even small-scale renovations cost the school group about €70,000 a year just for the removal of asbestos," Struys said. "And the group can count on only 50% subsidies from the community education system. Unfortunately we don't get the kind of extra financial support from OVAM [the public waste agency in Flanders] that school groups in Flanders enjoy. It would be a good thing if [Brussels environment agency] Leefmilieu Brussel could pay out extra subsidies to the Dutch-speaking community schools in Brussels."
Figures for the schools falling under the responsibility of the Catholic education system were not available, Belga said.

Bug _PHONE_ added code to perform inline string comparisons. We can reuse that code to speed-up String.prototype.startsWith when the search string is a constant string. (Constant search strings are quite common [1] when compared to non-constant search string [2].)
Real-world use case:
Scrolling down on _URL_ generates 100K calls to String.prototype.startsWith whenever new content is loaded. After this patch, only the non-Warp calls are left (10-30K calls in total).
[1] Constant search string: _URL_
[2] Non-constant search string: _URL_
For now simply call into the VM. Part 3 will add an optimisation when the
search string is a constant, which is by far the most common use.
Part 3 will use this function.
Depends on D153592
This is by far the most common use and it's easy to optimise this case.
Depends on D153593
Instead of directly calling startsWith, some code uses substring to check
for string prefixes. Let's detect this pattern, so we can use the faster code
path added in part 3.
Depends on D153594
This ensures the folded MSubstr from part 4 can actually be DCE'ed.

The creep evolution was followed by conducting magnetic measurements on ferromagnetic steel samples exposed to different creep strains at a constant temperature. 410 stainless steel (410 SS) rods were submitted to creep at applying a constant stress of 124 MPa for different creep times. A magnetic hysteresis curve was generated for every sample. It was found that the shape of the hysteresis curves varied with creep time. The extent of creep was assessed by measuring magnetic saturation, coercivity, and remanence. The changes in microstructure due to creep are related to variations in magnetic properties, which are explained in terms of possible magnetic domain pinning. It was observed that the microstructural changes due to creep are better correlated with the coercivity of the material. In summary, it is feasible to use a magnetoelastic sensor to detect the partial level of creep in a ferromagnetic material by nondestructive examination.

The light-scattering properties of dental enamel and dentin were measured at 543, 632, and 1053 nm. Angularly resolved scattering distributions for these materials were measured from 0° to 180° using a rotating goniometer. Surface scattering was minimized by immersing the samples in an index-matching bath. The scattering and absorption coefficients and the scattering phase function were deduced by comparing the measured scattering data with angularly resolved Monte Carlo light-scattering simulations. Enamel and dentin were best represented by a linear combination of a highly forward-peaked Henyey–Greenstein (HG) phase function and an isotropic phase function. Enamel weakly scatters light between 543 nm and 1.06 μm, with the scattering coefficient (μs) ranging from μs = 15 to 105 cm−1. The phase function is a combination of a HG function with g = 0.96 and a 30–60% isotropic phase function. For enamel, absorption is negligible. Dentin scatters strongly in the visible and near IR (μs ≅ 260 cm−1) and absorbs weakly (μa ≅ 4 cm−1). The scattering phase function for dentin is described by a HG function with g = 0.93 and a very weak isotropic scattering component (~2%).

Auckland university researchers have written software which enables a computer to recognise rat footprints from those of other wildlife, and tell the difference between species of rats.
"By identifying rat species we can understand patterns of invasion on predator-free islands, or detect new species entering New Zealand," biologist James Russell said.
The software can be used to read cards left on either side of an inkpad that pests walk over in tunnels placed in vulnerable sites such as predator-free islands or cargo crates.
Footprint cards are a cheap method of identifying animals, particularly ones present in low numbers, or difficult for human observers to find.
The Department of Conservation uses footprint cards but analyses them manually, and it is difficult for even experts to differentiate between species with similar-looking footprints.
Automating the footprint identification speeds up the tracking of invasive animals, and technique can be easily adapted to monitor other animals.
By developing an automated method to identify species, and extending it to any animal that leaves tracks - including reptiles and insects - researchers can help track species living in an area, said Dr Russell, who now teaches at the University of California's Berkeley campus.
Tracking tunnels will be used on Auckland's Rangitoto and Motutapu islands, where eradication programmes have started against all introduced animals.


text: The main purpose of controlling the distillation process is to maintain the composition of the products in an intended specification in order to optimize operating costs and meet market requirements. Line analyzers and laboratory analysis are generally used for composition information. However, such alternatives are expensive, do not provide information in real time and are not always feasible or available. In this context, soft sensors emerge as a cheaper alternative. The aim of this work is to develop a soft sensor to infer online the ethanol content in the products of a batch distillation process of watermelon wine, based on temperature measurements. The developed model consists in a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network with one hidden layer. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was used to optimize the weights. In order to train and validating the ANN, real distillation data of water-alcohol binary mixtures with initial compositions similar to the watermelon wine used. The simulation was also validated with real data of wine distillations. The RMSE was applied in the performance evaluation of the model and its result was 0.029 in mass fraction, showing the feasibility of its use as a soft sensor.

algorithmic modeling for Rhino
I want to use kangaroo to achieve a minimal surface ( close to the one in the attached picture) where the open edges are made from 2 catenary Curves. How can I keep the two catenary curves in their place ( perpendicular to the XY plane)...
Views: 2938
Replies to This Discussion
Here is one way to set this up.
Turning the surface into a mesh, fixing the corners and letting the boundary vertices slide along the outer edge.
Note that this is a tensile surface, but not actually a true minimal one - that is a bit more work to set up using the soap film element.
Thank you a lot for your explanation, I will work on the adding soap film element..
I am not that expert in this topic but what I know is that you can achieve a minimal surface as a version of an existing one you already created, even if the surface is not flat the mean curvature can still be zero, here is an explanation:
"Minimal surface curvature planes. On a minimal surface the curvature along the principal curvature planes are equal and opposite at every point. This makes the mean curvature zero"
Thank you so much I will try them

Periodontal disease could decrease kidney function in African-Americans
from Dental Tribune
New research has shown that African-Americans who suffer from the severe form of periodontal disease have a more than fourfold risk of developing chronic kidney disease than those without severe periodontal disease. In the U.S. alone, 1 in 2 adults aged 30 and over have periodontal disease, with African-Americans being disproportionally affected.

These stamps showing the Indian sub-continent probably date before the country was partitioned and before Pakistan and Bangladesh existed.
There are a number of stamps from Iceland with different maps of the island.
