Knowledge-based system for group technology
International Journal of Production Research
DOI of Published Version
In this paper, a knowledge-based system (KBGT) for solving the group technology problem is presented. The formulation of the group technology problem involves constraints related to machine capacity, material handling system capability, and machine cell dimensions. The KBGT has been developed for an automated manufacturing environment. It takes advantage of the developments in expert systems and optimization. Two basic components of the knowledge-based system, namely the knowledge-based subsystem and the heuristic clustering algorithm are discussed. Each partial solution generated by the clustering algorithm is evaluated for feasibility by the knowledge-based subsystem which modifies search directions of the algorithm. The KBGT is illustrated with a numerical example.

Dental nerve blocks are a vital skill for physicians to have when treating non-traumatic dental pain; however, there is yet to be a simple, practical, and effective way to educate residents in performing this task. The purpose of this project is to explore the efficacy of a low-fidelity dental model task-trainer in teaching emergency medicine residents to perform dental blocks.
In this study, 29 EM residents at TJUH were surveyed regarding their knowledge and attitudes regarding performing dental blocks using a brief Likert-scale questionnaire. Next, they were given 15 minutes to practice performing dental blocks on a low-fidelity task trainer, guided by an attending physician. After using the task trainer, the residents were administered another questionnaire in the form of a post-test survey, assessing their knowledge and attitudes regarding performing dental blocks. The preand post-test survey data were collected and analyzed to evaluate the task trainer's efficacy as an educational tool.
Results and Conclusions:
Overall, the results showed significant improvements on preand post-test Likert-scale responses for metrics assessing "confidence in performing dental blocks" and "likelihood to perform dental blocks when indicated." 27 of the 29 residents "agreed" or "strongly agreed" that the model was helpful in preparing them to perform dental blocks in the future. From these results, we can interpret that low-fidelity task trainers are an effective tool for educating residents on performing dental blocks. Further studies and subsequent analysis should are recommended to assess how a task trainer compares to typical (non-interactive) educational methods for performing dental blocks.


Blanket swings: vestibular input and opportunities for communication
Blanket swing for vestibular input
During music therapy we love finding ways to increase vestibular and proprioceptive input. One simple way to increase vestibular input during a session is by using a blanket as a swing. I typically use a sheet folded over in half. The child lays on the sheet and two adults lift it between them creating a cocoon-like hammock with the child inside (blanket open at the top). This also provides the child with a break from visual stimuli and can dampen auditory stimuli.
Our vestibular system is our sense of movement and balance. Blanket swinging is a simple and effective way of providing this input and helping a child with autism to regulate. Swing the blanket side to side and forward and backward. This is also a great time to work on communication such as requesting "more," "go," and "up".
A song provides structure to the activity, prompts language and helps children to know when the blanket swing will start and stop.

Estimating the girth of fish by applying an elliptic model
- A new method for estimating the maximum girth of roundfish is proposed as illustrated; this is based on an elliptic approximation of the cross sections of the fish body. Results derived from a small sample horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus, suggest that maximum girth estimates based on the elliptic model are more precise than the values estimated by applying a conventional method.

Core Haptics in Depth
Lofelt
Lofelt
Feb 19 · 9 min read
By Gernot Poetsch
In the first part of this article, we covered the basics of Core Haptics, the Apple Framework for custom haptic events on the iPhone. In this article, we will dig deeper and discuss creating custom haptic content, exporting it as an AHAP file (Apple Haptic and Audio Pattern), and integrating that content into an application.
An AHAP file is the most convenient way to specify complex haptic patterns — in this form, haptic events and sounds are specified together in the same place. Getting started with the AHAP file format is easy: treat it like a normal file, as you would with an MP3, and "play" it.
There are currently two ways to generate an AHAP file: manually write the code, or, use one of several visual tools.
Creating AHAP content
It is possible to write code for a complete AHAP file in your favorite text or JSON editor. However, this method is hardly comfortable, and, we recommend a visual tool to provide a better way to create and preview the haptic effect and then generate the AHAP file. Here is an overview of three currently available AHAP creation tools:
Captain AHAP

This is the first AHAP editor available to the public, a web-based application, found at _URL_. It has a companion app on Github, very fittingly called Moby. Captain AHAP and Moby are free and Moby is open source(1).
Using Captain AHAP, you can place events, parameters and parameter curves on a visual timeline and generate an AHAP file. It's a great tool to experiment with if you want to place and modify events manually and have a clear understanding of the outcome.
(1)The great folks at Fancy Pixel, who made Captain AHAP are also part of the team that built Lofelt Composer. Thanks!

This is the youngest of the three tools, and similar to Captain AHAP in functionality. It also lets you place events, parameters and parameter curves, but with a native Mac App and a companion iOS app for playback. Both are available in the App Store, and the Mac app costs around $10. While it requires deep knowledge about the building blocks of an AHAP file, it provides precise numeric control over all aspects of the pattern, and does a good job at visualizing all events and parameters.
Lofelt Composer
Image for post
Image for post
Lofelt Composer is a web-based tool with an iOS-based companion app, and is the impetus for writing this article. It has a different approach than the other two options: it doesn't require the user to place events manually. Rather, the user can simply drop an audio file onto Composer and it generates a complex series of events and parameter curves automatically. As can be seen in the screenshot above, these event and parameter curves are presented to the user as a single haptic envelope that can be fine-tuned as needed. This audio-driven approach is very useful for games and any other application development where you already have an audio component, or if you try to make the haptics mimic real-world examples for which you have created an audio file.
All three tools have editors and companion apps, so when experimenting and composing a pattern, the feedback loop of trial-and-error is especially important. Lofelt Composer makes setting this up very easy: open the tool in the browser and with the companion app on your iPhone; then, scan the displayed QR code. For the rest of the session, your phone is in sync with the browser, and you can immediately feel the pattern changes you make in real time. Once you are happy with the result, copy the AHAP file to the clipboard and integrate it into your app.
Integration
Having created your AHAP file content using one of the tools, you can easily copy the file into your existing workflow to integrate into your app.
How to Play an AHAP file
A simple AHAP player can be written in Swift with very little code:
let patternURL = ... //URL to the AHAP, preferably a local file
let engine = try CHHapticEngine()
try engine.start()
try engine.playPattern(from: patternURL)
That is the easiest way to play a pattern, sufficient for experimenting. In a production project, you should check if the haptic engine is available and do proper error handling. Also, the engine has handler blocks for stopping, resetting and finishing, which should be provided in a production app.
If you need more control over the playback, instead of using .playPattern(from:) on the engine, you can instantiate a CHHapticPatternPlayer and have that play a CHHapticPattern.
If you want to pause, seek and continue, set playback speed, or loop a pattern, use CHHapticAdvancedPatternPlayer instead. For example, with dynamic parameter injection at runtime (more on that later), a looping advanced pattern player can be used for continuous real-time feedback in games.
One unusual aspect of CHHapticPatternPlayer and CHHapticAdvancedPatternPlayer is that they are protocols, not classes. The actual types that implement the protocols are not exposed to the developer. The advanced player protocol inherits from its regular variant - the implication of this protocol-based approach is that the underlying types that implement them don't have to mirror that inheritance. This represents a rare example of Apple conforming to their pattern of "Protocol Based Programming in Swift" in a system framework. Apple claims that haptic players are extremely lightweight and fast to create - this design choice might have had a role in achieving that
The AHAP file format
Here is an example of a simple AHAP file structure:
{ "Version": 1.0, "Metadata": { "Project": "My Sample }, "Pattern": [ { "Event": {...} }, { "ParameterCurve": {...} } ]
If you take a closer look into it, however, it is a JSON file with a dictionary at its root that has three keys: version is currently set to 1.0; an optional Metadata dictionary that might contain a creation date and the project name; and, a Pattern key that includes the actual haptic events. As any JSON file, it can be edited or modified with a text editor — as long as it is valid JSON and follows the AHAP specification.
The most interesting part of the file is the Pattern section: it contains an array of dictionaries, each of which can have the keys: Event, Parameter or ParameterCurve. Let's look at them more closely.
Events
Events are, in type and structure, what we have already discussed in the previous article: transient and continuous haptic events and their audio counterparts. To play audio in sync with the haptic events, the waveform needs to be referenced from the pattern. But as complex and potentially large binary data, they can't be included in the JSON file but instead, need to be referred to as an external source. The path to the waveform has to be absolute or relative to the bundle where the AHAP file resides, which is usually the app's main bundle. If you want to add waveform audio in code, use .registerAudioResource(…) and related methods on CHHapticEngine. This generates a CHHapticAudioResourceID that can be used to create a haptic audio event for this waveform.
Events have an EventParameters array which modifies the properties of the complete event in which they're specified. Those parameters are specified in an array in the event and have a type and a value.
Parameters
In addition to the EventParameters, which were discussed in the previous article, there are "dynamic" parameters that can be modified during playback of a haptic event at runtime. To make things even more confusing, those dynamic parameters are only called Parameter in the AHAP file and are at the same level as the events. They affect all events at the same time and have slightly different names than their non-dynamic event-based counterparts: instead of HapticIntensity, there is HapticIntensityControl; AudioVolume is AudioVolumeControl; and, the ADSR parameters (the standard Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release envelope stages), like AttackTime, become HapticAttackTimeControl. Audio can also be modified with ADSR envelopes, in this case, use AudioAttackTimeControl and so on. In addition to Type (called ParameterID) and value, they have a time, which determines their position in the pattern, because they can change during an event.
Also, to be specified in a pattern, dynamic parameters can be added to an already-playing pattern at runtime:
func sendParameters([CHHapticDynamicParameter], atTime: TimeInterval)
This command, sent to a CHHapticPlayer or CHHapticAdvancedPlayer, causes the parameters to be applied immediately (by specifying time as 0) on an already-playing haptic, or at a specified time. The change is applied abruptly without the value slowly ramping up or down.
ParameterCurve
If you want dynamic parameters to change linearly over time, use a ParameterCurve. In

A hierarchical production planning structure enables manufacturing systems to handle customer disturbances with different measures on different planning levels. Two different kinds of customer order behavior can be observed and are as well discussed in literature. In the first, being forecast-evolutionbehavior, customers provide a forecast quantity for a specific due date for a long horizon in advance and update their forecast quantities periodically. In the second, being customer-required-lead-time-behavior, customers demand stochastic order amounts with a customer-required-lead-time whereby the manufacturing company generates an aggregated forecast, e.g. for product groups. These required lead times are usually shorter than the forecast-evolution-horizon, but order quantities do not further change. For comparing the influence of both order behaviors on a hierarchical production planning system, a simulation study is performed in which logistic performance measures such as service-level, utilization, capacity-, inventoryand tardiness-costs are analyzed with respect to a normalized forecast quality measure.

Author Info
Updated: August 28, 2019
Close a windowed application in Windows XP that appears to have stopped responding.
Steps
 1. 1
 Identify the program that has opened the window. This information is located in the title bar, directly above "File Edit View .." It is generally found in the "Name - Application" format. The example here shows "Minesweeper" The part after the hyphen (Wordpad) is the application.
 2. 2
 Click on "File" or "Game". Then, click "Exit" in the drop down box. Depending on the type window and if changes have been made, you may: 1) be prompted to save the file, 2) it will close, or 3) it will remain open. If it remained open, continue to the next step. The next steps may not offer options to save the file before it unceremoniously closes.
 3. 3
 Click on the "X" box at the far right inside the title bar. If the window did not close, continue to the next step.
 4. 4
 Press and hold the "Ctrl" "Alt" and the "Delete" keys all at the same time for about 1 second. A new box called "Task Manager" will open.
 5. 5
 Click the Application tab to reveal the contents (if not already displayed). Find the matching entry of the window that will not close. The example is Minesweeper. Look at the status for the entry. The example shows "Running". The other possibility is "Not Responding". If the status is Not Responding, click the "End task" button in the lower right of the display.

 Tips
 - Sometimes a window that won't close might just be loading. If you would like, give it some time.
 - Not every application uses a file name (or image name) that is the same as the application name to start. An example is "Mozilla Firefox". The file name that starts this application is actually "firefox.exe" While not a "stretch" for the name, if you were looking in the processes tab for file names that begin with "m" you might not find it. Find the file names that start applications by looking in "Programs" listing when the Windows "Start" button is pressed. Find the application name, and right click it and click on "properties" to find the location and file name that starts the application.
 - Sometimes, when attempting to stop an application or image name, a warning box stating one of the following messages: "Cannot delete file: Access is denied." "There has been a sharing violation." "The source or destination file may be in use." "The file is in use by another program or user." "Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." Get around these problems by running a free program called File Unlocker first.
 - If unsure or wish not to attempt stopping any process or application, press the "Esc" key to close the Task Manager and return to the previous screen.

 Warnings
 - If you have struggle with your window on Windows XP then, get some help or, call some support for this version of Windows. Sometimes it works with tech support to close the window but, sometime does not working and cause the computer unstable and not working...Be Careful!!!
 - Stopping applications or files in this manner can further increase the instability of the Operating System. Ending any critical process will have undesirable results. Reboot the computer when possible to stabilize the system.
 - Save any work and open programs before trying to close windows that appear to no longer be responding with the steps above. If applications and windows fail to close as expected, the Operating System has already become unstable, and may crash without warning.

What is the advantage of DZ973N copper extractant
What is the advantage of DZ973N copper extractant
DZ973N copper extractant has 35% aldoxime, 15% ketoxime and 50% solvent oil, the extraction ability is stronger than DZ988N, but the reverse extraction ability is weak, finally the copper net transfer all be 2.7 g/L.
LIX973N is a copper solvent extraction reagent. It is a high-performance extractant that is commonly used in the copper extraction process. It is designed to selectively extract copper ions from aqueous solutions, while leaving behind impurities such as iron and other metals. LIX973N has been widely used in the copper mining industry for many years and is manufactured by several chemical companies.
LIX973N and LIX984N are both copper solvent extraction reagents, but they have some key differences.
One advantage of using LIX973N is that it can operate at lower pH levels compared to LIX984N. This means that LIX973N can be more effective at extracting copper from the leach solution, especially when the starting pH is low.
Another advantage of LIX973N is that it has a lower viscosity than LIX984N. This allows it to flow more easily through the solvent extraction circuits, which can improve the overall efficiency of the copper extraction process.
However, LIX984N has its own advantages. For example, LIX984N has a higher loading capacity for copper and is better at handling organic contaminants in the leach solution. Additionally, LIX984N has been used in the copper extraction industry for a longer period of time compared to LIX973N, so its performance and reliability are well-established.
Ultimately, the choice between LIX973N and LIX984N will depend on the specific requirements of the copper extraction process, and it is important to carefully evaluate each reagent to determine which one is most suitable for the application.
Copper solvent extractants LIX973N and LIX984N have different chemical compositions, which result in their different usage in copper extraction processes.
LIX973N is a hydroxyoxime extractant that is primarily used in the extraction of copper from acidic solution. It has a higher selectivity for copper over iron compared to LIX984N and is suitable for use in acidic leaching environments such as heap leaching, dump leaching, and vat leaching.
On the other hand, LIX984N is a modified aldoxime extractant that is more commonly used in the extraction of copper from ammoniacal solutions. It has better copper selectivity than LIX973N in ammoniacal solutions and is commonly utilized in the solvent extraction stage of copper processing.
Therefore, the choice of copper solvent extractant depends on the specific leaching conditions and the desired copper extraction process.
LIX984N and LIX973N are both highly selective chelating agents commonly used in hydrometallurgical processes for the extraction of base and precious metals. The choice between these two chelating agents depends on specific process requirements and the properties of the metals being extracted.
LIX984N is more selective for copper and nickel, while LIX973N is more selective for cobalt and nickel. If the target metal is copper or nickel, LIX984N may be a better choice due to its higher selectivity for these metals. On the other hand, if the target metal is cobalt or nickel, LIX973N may be preferred due to its higher selectivity for these metals.
Other factors to consider include the pH and temperature of the extraction process, the concentration of the metals being extracted, and the presence of impurities. Both LIX984N and LIX973N have their specific operating ranges, and selecting the appropriate chelating agent is critical for achieving optimal extraction efficiency and product quality. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a technical expert or conduct laboratory testing before selecting the suitable chelating agent for a specific process.

1) Download REMA to the laptop, insert your License key.
2) Then on your PC to go into REMA and click on Toolkit, View Database Location. Go to that folder and find the file called REMA.mdb on your PC.
3) Copy that file to a network drive folder location or to a portable storage device (ie a memory stick).
4) Now go back to the laptop and locate your data file just as you did on the PC in step 2.
5) Then paste the REMA.mdb file you made a copy of from your PC into the folder you located in step 4 on your laptop (it will over-write the mdb file in the laptop).
And voila, your data will be now on the laptop.
Simply repeat steps 2 to 5 to move the data file back to your other computer.
Remember that you cannot synchronize the files, so you will have to manually transfer the data file back to the PC later on. If you make changes to both data files (on each computer) you will have to choose which one to retain and lose the changes you made on the other.

Abbey Manor is a small, comfortable and unassuming luxury guesthouse in the suburban heights of Cape Town's City Bowl area. With a glorious view of the mountain, the city and the harbour, you're always aware that, yes, you are indeed in Cape Town - one of the world's favourite travel destinations.
The gueshouse has a large heated swimming pool, as well as a spa bath on the upper balcony. Each room has air conditioning, satellite television channels, a minibar, hair-dryers, coffee and tea facilities, telephone and free WIFI.
The suburb of Oranjezicht (meaning "sight of orange") was named for the spectacular view it had of the orange groves in the Company Gardens. The Company Gardens were planted by the Dutch East India Company in 1652 to provide vital foods to the passing sea trade. Abbey Manor, was built in 1905 for David Edward McConnell, a British businessman newly arrived in what was then the Cape Colony. David McConnell was a director of the Union Castle Shipping Line, then the primary means of transport between Europe and South Africa.
The house was designed by the architect William Black, who was responsible for many famous buildings in Cape Town. Although less well-known than his contemporary Herbert Baker, he is more widely renowned for the arts-and-crafts movement in the Cape Province. The original approved council plans are displayed on the main staircase. The house was named "Abbey Manor" after the Manor house at Bisham, known as Abbey Manor although actually a priory and not in fact an abbey.

Nissan demonstrates sweat-sensing seats to fight dehydration
Sweat-covered seats aren't most people's idea of a good thing, but Nissan thinks they are. The Japanese automaker is demonstrating technology that changes the color of car seats and steering wheels based on sweat. Nissan believes this will allow the car to detect when the driver is dehydrated.
Nissan designer Paulien Routs, and Droog Design sought to show how useful sweat can be with the Nissan Juke Soak. That last part refers to the trademarked, sweat-sensitive textile material the car's interior is coated with. You can see exactly how it works in the embedded video. Soak can also be sprayed onto clothes to give the wearer a better idea of his or her hydration level, which could be particularly useful when working out.
While the concept of car seats that change color from sweat may seem a bit silly, Nissan claims driver dehydration is no laughing matter. The automaker contends that dehydration has as big an impact on reaction times and overall alertness as drunk driving. That's based on a 2015 study conducted by England's Loughborough University, and funded by the European Hydration Institute, a research organization that promotes hydration.
Staying hydrated should be as important for driving as it is for any other activity, but car buyers may not be interested in seats that change colors when they sweat. Besides being a bit undignified, it's also sort of an inefficient way to let drivers know they might be dehydrated. The color changes won't be highly apparent if you're sitting in the seat, after all. Drivers may also simply ignore the car's warning about their hydration levels. Given the number of warnings and alerts modern cars are capable of emitting, that wouldn't be difficult.
But the Nissan Juke Soak is a reminder that drivers need to do their part to keep the roads safe. A driver must be calm, alert, and awake at all times, something that is easy to forget in an age where driving is taken for granted. Everyone is responsible for making sure they are fit to drive before getting behind the wheel. That is, at least until autonomous cars arrive.

Integrating mixers is a challenging task, especially in mixed signal design. IoT communication devices require low design complexity as we expect millions of devices connected. In this paper we propose a mixer less low complex QPSK based transmitter architecture targeting low frequency applications which reduced the complexity in transmitter design. A prototype has been developed using Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) and FPGA as the base band controller. The design can easily be adapted to MOSFET technology and modulation is achieved without the need of generating the carrier externally. The prototype developed was tested successfully by generating frequencies of range varying from 1 KHz to 120 MHz. The proposed architecture can also be used for any other digital modulation scheme such as BPSK, FSK etc. © 2014 National Institute of Information and Communicatio.

text: The Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique is widely used to identify and quantify the separate contributions of differences in measurable characteristics to group differences in an outcome of interest. The use of a linear probability model and the standard Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition, however, can provide misleading estimates when the dependent variable is binary, especially when group differences are very large for an influential explanatory variable. A simulation method of performing a nonlinear decomposition that uses estimates from a logit, probit or other nonlinear model was first developed in a Journal of Labor Economics article (Fairlie 1999). This nonlinear decomposition technique has been used in nearly a thousand subsequent studies published in a wide range of fields and disciplines. In this paper, I address concerns over path dependence in using the nonlinear decomposition technique. I also present a straightforward method of incorporating sample weights in the technique.

This project addresses the dual issues of disability and transferable skills in the teaching of archaeological fieldwork. It will increase awareness of disability issues in Archaeology and improve the integration of disability in fieldwork teaching.
The emphasis is on the development of a self-evaluation tool kit for physical and psychological abilities in fieldwork. This tool will increase students' awareness of their acquisition of transferable skills and promote careers management skills.
The project involved archaeologists working closely with specialists in Inclusive Environments to characterise the skills needed in archaeological fieldwork. In addition to engaging with teachers of undergraduate archaeology nationally, the project actively involved the Council for British Archaeology (CBA), the Institute of Field Archaeologists (IFA), English Heritage and Oxford Archaeology. The project has the potential to widen participation by challenging the stereotype of archaeology as a field discipline that may exclude disabled participants. It aims to effect a change of emphasis from 'disability' to ability: rather than excluding or categorising individuals, students will be engaged actively in assessing their own skills.
Using examples of good practice reported by the subject providers and students, and the results of the project, a guide to 'Including Disabled Students and Self-Evaluation in Archaeological Fieldwork Training' was also produced. The guide includes sections on:
- Models of disability
- The work of the Inclusive, Accessible, Archaeology project
- Making archaeological fieldwork training inclusive
- Making archaeological field trips inclusive
- Making archaeological excavations accessible to visitors
- Links to useful information.

text: In this paper, ultrasonic-vibration assisted electrical discharge machining (UEDM) is used to process SiCp/Al composite materials in order to achieve a higher material removal rate (MRR) and lower surface roughness, width overcut, and relative tool wear rate (RTWR). FLUENT software was used to simulate the gap flow field. The simulation results of the gap flow field show that the ultrasonic vibration of the tool electrode is conducive to the removal of chips, which makes the discharge more stable and improves the machining efficiency. Based on the single factor experiment, the effects of peak current, reference voltage, pulse width, and pulse interval on MRR, surface roughness, width overcut, and RTWR of the workpiece are studied. Then, based on the orthogonal experiment, the grey relational analysis method was used to optimize the process parameters, and the order of the influence of the 4 process indicators on the comprehensive performance and the optimal processing parameter combination was obtained. The reliability of the process optimization was verified with experiments.


Q
Context-driven testing explained
Often you need to consider the context in which software testing is done. Software testing expert Karen N. Johnson explains one of the principles of context-driven testing.
What does it mean to believe in the context-driven school of testing?
There are seven basic principles of the context-driven school. Let me describe my belief about the second principle. The second principle states that there are good practices in context, but no best practices. My view on the second principle is I don't view best practices as a sensible statement. There are many good practices, but there is not one set of best practices that make sense in all contexts.
What do I mean by that? The danger in prescribing to best practices is that testers and test managers might believe they need to apply best practices in all contexts. If the use of best practices inhibits additional testing ideas or prevents the pursuit of creating a new practice that makes sense for the project, then the use of best practices is counterproductive.
If you stop thinking of additional tests or believe you've addressed all the testing necessary because you've reviewed some set of best practices, then the term best practices could cause more harm than good. Consider best practices; apply what makes sense for the product and the project. Consider whether you need to develop other practices to best suit the project.

What Is Oregon Grape Used for Today?
| What Is the Scientific Evidence for Oregon Grape?
| Safety Issues
The roots and bark of the shrub
(also called Oregon grape) have traditionally been used both orally and topically to treat skin problems. They were also used for other conditions such as gastritis, fever, hemorrhage, jaundice, gall bladder disease, and cancer. In addition,
was used as a bitter tonic to improve appetite.
According to some experts,
is identical to the plant named
, but others point to small distinctions.
, commonly called
, is a close relative of these herbs, but is not identical.
What Is Oregon Grape Used for Today?
Oregon grape is primarily used today as a topical treatment for
. Growing evidence suggests that it may help reduce symptoms, although it does not seem to be as effective for this purpose as standard medications.
Oregon grape has been proposed as a treatment for other skin diseases, such as fungal infections (such as
However, the evidence is either extremely preliminary or inconclusive. For example, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 88 people with eczema tested a cream containing extracts of
The results failed to show benefit overall.
Many studies have been performed on purified berberine, a major chemical constituent of Oregon grape and other herbs such as goldenseal, but it is not clear whether their results apply to the whole herb. In addition, impossibly high dosages of the herb would be required to duplicate the amount of berberine used in many of these studies. (For more information, see the article on
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Oregon Grape?
Evidence from two
studies and one comparative trial suggest that cream made from the herb Oregon grape may help reduce symptoms of psoriasis, although it does not seem to be as effective as standard medications.
In a double-blind study published in 2006, two hundred people were given either a cream containing 10% Oregon grape extract or placebo twice a day for 3 months.
The results indicate that the people using Oregon grape experienced greater benefits than those in the placebo group, and the difference was statistically significant. The treatment was well tolerated, though in a few people it caused rash or burning sensation.
Benefits were also seen in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 82 people with psoriasis.
However, the study design had a significant flaw: the treatment salve was darker in color than the placebo, possibly allowing participants to guess which was which.
Another study found that dithranol, a conventional drug used to treat psoriasis symptoms, was more effective than Oregon grape.
Regrettably, the authors fail to state whether this study was double-blind. Forty-nine participants applied one treatment to their left side and the other to their right for 4 weeks. Skin biopsies were then analyzed and compared with samples taken at the beginning of the study. The physicians evaluating changes in skin tissue were unaware which treatments had been used on the samples. Greater improvements were seen in the dithranol group.
in which 443 participants with psoriasis used Oregon grape topically for 12 weeks found the herb to be helpful for 73.7% of the group.
group, it's not possible to know whether Oregon grape was truly responsible for the improvement seen, but the trial does help to establish the herb's safety and tolerability. (See Safety Issues below.)
Laboratory research suggests Oregon grape has some effects at the cellular level that might be helpful in psoriasis, such as slowing the rate of abnormal cell growth and reducing inflammation.
Topical ointments or creams containing 10% Oregon grape extract are generally applied 3 times daily to the affected areas.
Oregon grape appears to be safe when used as directed. In the large open study described above, only 5 of the 443 participants reported side effects of burning, redness, and itching.
However, because Oregon grape contains berberine, which has been reported to cause uterine contractions and to increase levels of bilirubin, oral consumption of Oregon grape should be avoided by pregnant women.
Safety in young children, nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.
There is an additional concern regarding the berberine content of Oregon grape. One study found that berberine impairs metabolism of the drug cyclosporine, thereby raising its levels.
This could potentially cause toxicity.


Signup and API keys
Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
To use the Google Awareness API, you must add a Google API key to your app. The type of API key you need is an Android API key.
All Android apps are signed with a digital certificate for which you hold the private key. For more information about digital certificates, refer to the Android guide on how to sign your app.
Android API keys are linked to specific certificate-package pairs. You only need one key for each certificate, no matter how many users you have for the app.
Several steps are required for you to get a key for your app. They're described in detail in this guide, and are summarized as follows:
 1. Get information about your app's certificate.
 2. Register a project in the Google Developers console and add the User Context API as a service for the project.
 3. Request a key.
 4. Add the key to your app. To do so, add an element to your app manifest.
Find your app's certificate information
The API key is based on a short form of your app's digital certificate, known as its SHA-1 fingerprint. To display the SHA-1 fingerprint for your certificate, first ensure that you use the right certificate. You might have the following two certificates to choose from:
 - A debug certificate: The Android SDK tools generate this certificate automatically when you do a debug build. Only use this certificate with apps that you're testing. Don't attempt to publish an app that's signed with a debug certificate. The debug certificate is described in more detail in the Sign your debug build section in the Android developer documentation.
 - A release certificate: The Android SDK tools generate this certificate when you do a release build. You can also generate this certificate with the keytool program. Use this certificate when you're ready to release your app to the world.
For more information about keytool, see its Oracle documentation.
Debug certificate
Display the debug certificate fingerprint
Use the keytool program with the -v parameter to display a certificate's SHA-1 fingerprint. To do so, complete the following steps:
 1. Locate your debug keystore file. The file name is debug.keystore, and it's created the first time you build your project. By default, it's stored in the same directory as your Android Virtual Device (AVD) files:
 - OS X and Linux: ~/.android/
 - Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\your_user_name\.android\
 2. List the SHA-1 fingerprint:
 - For Linux or OS X, open a terminal window and enter the following:
 keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
 - For Windows Vista and Windows 7, run the following:
 keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
You should see output similar to the following:
Alias name: androiddebugkey
Creation date: Jan 01, 2013
Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry
Certificate chain length: 1

 Signature algorithm name: SHA1withRSA
 Version: 3
Release certificate
Display the release certificate fingerprint
Use the keytool program with the -v parameter to display a certificate's SHA-1 fingerprint. To do so, complete the following steps:
 1. Locate your release certificate keystore file. There's no default location or name for the release keystore. If you don't specify one when you build your app for release, the build leaves your .apk unsigned and you have to sign it before you can publish it. For the release certificate, you also need the certificate's alias, the passwords for the keystore, and the certificate.
 2. Enter the following to list the aliases for all the keys in a keystore:
 keytool -list -keystore your_keystore_name

 3. Replace your_keystore_name with the fully qualified path and name of the keystore. Include the .keystore extension. Enter the keystore's password when prompted. Then, keytool displays all the aliases in the keystore.
 4. Enter the following at a terminal or command prompt:
 keytool -list -v -keystore your_keystore_name -alias your_alias_name

 5. Replace your_keystore_name with the fully qualified path and name of the keystore. Include the .keystore extension.
 6. Replace your_alias_name with the alias that you assigned to the certificate when you created it.
You should see output similar to the following:
Alias name: <alias_name>
Creation date: Feb 02, 2013
Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry
Certificate chain length: 1

Why is wind not always included in the forecast?
Wind will almost always be included in the forecast for today and tomorrow. However, often, if the winds are expected to be light and variable, the forecast may just read "Light winds" with no direction mentioned. Wind is often not included in forecasts beyond tomorrow because the speed and direction are still not certain. However, marine forecasts will always contain wind speed and direction, and most of these go out to 3 or 4 days in advance.

How To Breakdown Stuck Tractor Tire?
How do you break down a tractor tire?
Use a sledgehammer or crowbar to break the bead of the tire. If you have a large tractor tire, use a sledgehammer to strike the tire just above the edge of the rim where they connect to break the bead. Continue hitting the tire around the entire circumference of the rim to break the seal completely.
How do you break a stubborn tire bead?
Basically what you do is just leave a a couple psi of air in the tires, and lay the wheel on its side, and step on the tire with your foot. It is a tight fit, but use your body weight to break the bead. This works, done it several times.
How much does it cost to change a tractor tire?
Can I cut a tire off a rim?
The tire is held to the rim by an area called the bead. The sidewall in between the bead and tread surface is relatively weak on steel belted radial tires. You can cut though it with a the drywall knife pictured. You will however need a saw blade or cutoff wheel for the bead wires.

Quick Answer: How Does Wax Recording Work?
Does black vinyl sound better?
Only white should sound worse.
The white substance used to due the record can cause random pops (rumor has it that it is a kind of chalk).
Other vinyl – colored or clear can be dead-quiet.
so a colored vinyl record with no black in it may actually sound better right out of the wrapper than a black one..
What is a wax record?
The wax record simply put is a hollow cylinder made from wax that, when put into a phonograph or graphophone machine it allows you to record sound and reproduce that same sound.
Why is vinyl called wax?
This was electroplated to make the metal parts to stamp finished records. Hence, for almost the first 50 years of recorded sound, including cylinders, wax was the media that took the original sound waves. Therefore the term "wax" came into popular use as slang for a record.
Is Vinyl A plastic?
Vinyl (polyvinyl chloride or PVC), is the world's most versatile plastic, used to make everything from food wrap to auto body parts. Vinyl is composed of two simple building blocks: chlorine, based on common salt, and ethylene, from crude oil.
Is a record player worth it?
It's mainly worth it if you're going to listen to stuff on vinyl. There's no point in making the investment if it's going to sit and collect dust. If you feel drawn to vinyl, then absolutely. It's mainly worth it if you're going to listen to stuff on vinyl.
When were wax cylinders used?
The Edison Phonograph Company was formed on October 8, 1887, to market Edison's machine. He introduced the Improved Phonograph by May of 1888, shortly followed by the Perfected Phonograph. The first wax cylinders Edison used were white and made of ceresin, beeswax, and stearic wax.
What were records originally made of?
Why is vinyl used for records?
Why is it that vinyl records are generally black? PVC (polyvinyl chloride), the material that vinyl records are made of, is clear in its natural form, allowing records to be manufactured in just about any color imaginable.
Does vinyl actually sound better?
Vinyl is far more high-quality. No audio data is lost when pressing a record. It sounds just as great as the producer or band intended. There's another, far superior reason why vinyl is better than lossy digital formats.
Is my record a 33 or 45?
12″ records that are albums (>20 minutes per side) are 33, 12″ records that are singles may be 33 if they are from the US or 45 if they are from Europe. 10″ records are usually 33, but there may be 45 as well.
How long does a gramophone needle last?
Most manufacturers recommend changing your stylus at around 1000 hours of record playing time. So if you're using your turntable for an hour or so per day on average, ideally you should be changing the stylus every couple of years.
How do gramophones work?
Like other record players, gramophones read the sound with a small needle which fits into the groove in the record. That needle is attached to a diaphragm, which in turn is attached to a horn. … These vibrations are transmitted to the diaphragm, which itself vibrates, creating sound.
Are 78s worth anything?
"The early blues material from the '20s and '30s is the hottest material of all," Mr. Tefteller said in a phone interview. He said that on average a rare jazz 78 might sell for $1,500 to $5,000, whereas sales for a comparable blues record would start at $5,000.
What was the first song ever recorded on the phonograph?
Au Clair de la Lune.On April 9, 1860, Scott recorded a snippet of the French folk song "Au Clair de la Lune."
Who invented wax cylinders?
Thomas EdisonPhonograph cylinder/InventorsEdison had introduced wax cylinders that played for nominally 4 minutes (instead of the usual 2) in 1909 under the Amberol brand. They were made from a harder (and more easily breakable) form of wax to withstand the smaller stylus used to play them.
What is the best record player to buy?
The best record player for 2021CNET's Editor's Choice. Fluance RT82. See at Amazon.Best value around $100. Audio Technica AT-LP60X. $119 at Amazon.Best record player under $500.

Why is tinfoil a poor medium for recorded sound?
The recordings could be played only a few times before the indentations made by the sound on the tinfoil were so flattened down as to be unplayable. … It was changes in the physical medium itself that would ultimately exert the most long-lasting effects on the evolution of American sound recording history.
How does a vinyl record work?
Vinyl record players are electromagnetic devices that change sound vibrations into electrical signals. When a record spins, it creates sound vibrations that get converted into electrical signals. … Electric amps vibrate and feed the resulting sound into speakers, which amplify it and make it louder.
What is another name for vinyl?
What is another word for vinyl?PVCpolychloroethylenepolyvinyl chloridepolyvinylpoly(1-chloroethene)[1]
What's the difference between a turntable and a record player?
What Is A Turntable? In its basest form, a turntable is simply a major component of a record player. … But turntable also refers to a standalone unit you can purchase. In this sense of the word, a turntable is similar to a record player, except it does not come with built-in speakers or an amplifier.
What replaced records?
In an attempt to head off the disc advantage, Edison introduced the Amberol cylinder in 1909, with a maximum playing time of 4 1⁄2 minutes (at 160 rpm), which in turn were superseded by Blue Amberol Records, which had a playing surface made of celluloid, a plastic, which was far less fragile.

DataPower: Flushing Stylesheet Cache.
Summary: Why aren't my changes to the stylesheets being picked up by DataPower? Learn about the stylesheet cache in DataPower and what you should do to refresh the cache.
DataPower appliances maintain a cache of the stylesheets that are being used on the appliance for performance reasons. "Although the cache is configurable, disabling the cache might degrade performance. DataPower caches compiled stylesheets and if the cache is disabled the stylesheets will have to be compiled every time they are used." - [1]
Ever get into a situation where you have made a change on an imported/included stylesheet on DataPower and when the stylesheet was run, you did not see the changes you made being reflected in the results?
The reason is that DataPower fetches all the content from top level stylesheet with any imported and included stylesheets and after compilation stores it in the cache as one single compiled stylesheet. If you make changes to one of the imported/included stylesheets, DataPower does not detect the change and the recompilation and refreshing the same in the cache is not triggered.
In such scenarios, for the changes to be reflected, you could do two things
 1. You could flush the stylesheet cache. One way of doing this would be to use the WebGUI administrative interface. In the GUI select objects/XML Processing/XML Manager. Select the respective xml manager and to the top right corner you should see option called "Flush Stylesheet Cache".
 2. DataPower: Flush Stylesheet Cache
 3. You could introduce an empty line in the top level xslt and save it. This will trigger recompilation of that top level stylesheet effectively recompiling the imported/included stylesheets also.
 "At compile time all imported and included stylesheets are fetched and the complete compiled top level stylesheet is then cached. You can't see the imports and includes but they are all there under the top stylesheet." – [2]
"Disabling the cache can be performance concern and might not be your goal. When style sheets are not cached, an XSLT compilation is run on every single transaction.
If you need to disable stylesheet caching, create a separate XML Manager for the particular service wherestylesheet caching is not required.
Do not disable stylesheet caching for a widely used XML Manager. For example, do not disable caching on the default XML Manager." – [1]

Unleashing the Power of Rock Demolition in Hawaii
When it comes to construction projects in Hawaii, one of the most crucial aspects is rock demolition. The volcanic nature of the Hawaiian islands means that rock is a common obstacle that needs to be overcome in order to build anything from roads and bridges to homes and commercial buildings. If you're embarking on a construction project in Hawaii, understanding the importance of rock demolition and how it can benefit your project is key.
Rock demolition in Hawaii is not just about breaking rocks into smaller pieces. It involves a strategic approach to safely and efficiently remove large rock formations that may be in the way of your construction plans. Whether you're dealing with solid lava rock, basalt, or other volcanic formations, the process of rock demolition requires specialized equipment and expertise to get the job done right.
One of the main benefits of rock demolition in Hawaii is that it allows you to clear the way for your construction project without causing unnecessary damage to the environment. By carefully planning and executing rock demolition, you can minimize disruption to the surrounding landscape and ensure that the natural beauty of Hawaii is preserved.
In addition to protecting the environment, rock demolition in Hawaii can also help save you time and money on your construction project. By removing large rock formations efficiently, you can streamline the construction process and avoid costly delays. This is especially important in Hawaii, where construction costs can be higher due to the remote location and unique geological challenges.
When it comes to rock demolition in Hawaii, there are several methods that can be used depending on the size and type of rock formations you're dealing with. One common method is hydraulic rock splitting, which uses hydraulic power to break rocks into smaller pieces without the need for explosives. This method is ideal for smaller rocks and tight spaces where traditional demolition techniques may not be suitable.
For larger rock formations, controlled blasting may be necessary. This method involves strategically placing explosives in the rock and detonating them in a way that minimizes damage to the surrounding area. Controlled blasting requires careful planning and coordination to ensure the safety of everyone involved, as well as the success of the demolition.
No matter which method is used, rock demolition in Hawaii requires the expertise of skilled professionals who understand the unique challenges of working with volcanic rock formations. By hiring a reputable rock demolition company in Hawaii, you can ensure that your project is completed safely and efficiently, with minimal impact on the environment.
In addition to traditional rock demolition methods, there are also innovative techniques that can be used to break up rock formations in Hawaii. One such method is rock fracturing, which uses specialized equipment to create fractures in the rock that can then be easily broken apart. This technique is ideal for large rock formations that are too difficult to remove with traditional methods.
Another cutting-edge method is rock sawing, which uses diamond-tipped blades to cut through rock formations with precision and accuracy. This method is ideal for creating clean cuts in rock for construction purposes, such as laying foundations or building retaining walls. Rock sawing is also less disruptive than traditional demolition techniques, making it a popular choice for projects in Hawaii.
In conclusion, rock demolition in Hawaii is a crucial step in any construction project that involves working with volcanic rock formations. By understanding the importance of rock demolition and how it can benefit your project, you can ensure that your construction plans are carried out safely, efficiently, and in harmony with the natural environment. Whether you're building a new home, a commercial building, or a road in Hawaii, rock demolition is a key process that will help you achieve your construction goals.

3 Tips from Someone With Experience

Light on the land and no more than necessary – these were the first principles that guided the development of a 400-square-foot bunkhouse adjacent to the iconic Gorton/Bounds Cabin designed by Robert Hull, Miller Hull's late founding partner, in 1986. Simplicity in spatial organization and clarity in tectonic expression pay homage to its neighbor. By floating the enclosed volume above the site the building massing amplifies the reading of the sloping topography.
The steep site presented significant challenges including the inability to access the immediate building area with any heavy equipment. A narrow 500-foot trail through the woods connects the end of a gravel road to the site, through which all construction materials were carried by hand. Building components were sized based on the ability of a three-person crew to maneuver them along the trail. Budget constraints drove a tight construction timeline and eliminated any unnecessary trades. The small crew lived onsite during a good portion of construction to reduce transportation costs and the environmental impact associated with building on a remote island.
The design team embraced these challenges as the defining constraints of the project, allowing them to shape a simple yet potent intervention.

Parallel Trade Conference
8 February 2019
SMi presented its 13th annual Parallel Trade conference, which took place in London on the 5-6 of February 2019.
As the only parallel trade conference in Europe, the event provided a unique opportunity to hear from industry leaders from both sides to share different perspectives on the practice of parallel trade.
Brexit, of course, was of particular significance this year, particularly as the leaving date of 29 March 2019 is fast approaching. After this date, the UK will no longer be a part of the EU single market. It will probably have a significant impact on parallel trade. The hot topic besides Brexit is the upcoming Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD), which comes into effect this week.
The first day of the conference focused on the fundamentals of parallel trade and its impact on different markets, pharmaceutical companies and patients. The ever-changing environment in which this occurs was apparent and the need for a mindful approach about the immediate and long term impact of industry activities in this area. A key theme was the importance of prioritising patient safety, including optimising access to medicines and preventing counterfeit drugs from entering the supply chain. It was noted by a speaker that in comparison to previous years, patients took a more prominent role in the presentations at this year's conference. This is perhaps unexpected in light of increasing discussion about 'patient centricity' in the industry.
The second day of the conference addressed the complex regulatory context of parallel trade. As an already highly regulated industry, parallel trade adds a new layer of difficulty for all stakeholders. Challenges discussed included navigating pricing, competition law, intellectual property obligatory and supply considerations. Lots of discussion also took place about the root causes of drug shortages and how to prevent them. It was clear that there remains a lot of grey area within parallel trade, which makes tackling these issues no easy task. A major theme from this day was the importance of collaboration and taking a proactive approach to preparing for regulatory changes.
With strong and sometimes conflicting opinions about many aspects of parallel trade, the conference involved lively panel sessions and engaging question and answer sessions. It is clear that there is a lot to discuss about parallel trade and conferences such as this play an important role in providing a platform for these conversations to occur.

1000 cubic meters per second could be a LOT more than 80/sec of velocity or it could be a LOT less. They aren't the same thing.
Let's say the river is 100m wide and an average of 10 meters deep. The 2,000 cubic meters per second (the Rhine) give a velocity of 2 m/sec.
The maximum mean velocity measured with the ADCP was 3.7 m/s. The pitot-static tube, while capable of only point measurements, quantified velocity 0.39 m below the surface. The maximum mean velocity measured with the pitot tube was 5.2 m/s, with instantaneous velocities up to 6.5 m/s.

Causes damage to die-casting molds
Causes of damage to die-casting molds:
 In die-casting production, the most common form of mold damage is cracking and cracking. Stress is the main cause of mold damage. Thermal, mechanical, chemical, and operational shocks are sources of stress, including mechanical stress and thermal stress. Stress is generated in:
 (1) In the process of mold manufacturing and manufacturing
 , the quality of rough forging. Some molds produce cracks only when they are produced in a few hundred pieces, and cracks develop rapidly. It is possible that only the outer dimensions are ensured during forging, and the loose defects such as dendrites, inclusions, shrinkage cavities, and bubbles in the steel are stretched and elongated along the processing method to form a streamline, and this streamline is for the future. The final quenching deformation, cracking, brittle fracture during use, and failure tendency have a great impact.
 2. The cutting stress generated during the final machining of the car, milling, planing, etc., which can be eliminated by intermediate annealing.
 3. The grinding stress is generated during the grinding of the hardened steel. The friction heat is generated during the grinding, and the softening layer and the decarburization layer are generated, which reduces the thermal fatigue strength and easily leads to thermal cracking and early cracking. After the fine grinding of h13 steel, it can be heated to 510-570 ° C, and the thickness is maintained every 25 mm for one hour for stress relief annealing.
 4. EDM produces stress. The surface of the mold produces a white bright layer rich in electrode elements and dielectric elements, which is hard and brittle. This layer itself has cracks and stress. EDM should use a high frequency to minimize the white layer. It must be removed by polishing and tempered. The tempering is carried out at the tertiary tempering temperature.
 Improper heat treatment during the mold processing process will cause the mold to crack and be prematurely scrapped. In particular, only quenching and tempering, no quenching, and surface nitriding will occur, and surface cracking will occur after several thousand die castings. Cracking. The stress generated when the steel is quenched is the result of the superposition of the thermal stress during the cooling process and the structural stress during the phase change. The quenching stress is the cause of the deformation and cracking, and the solid must be tempered to eliminate the stress.
 (3) in the process of die casting production
 The mold should be preheated to a certain temperature before production. Otherwise, when the high temperature molten metal is filled, chilling occurs, which causes the temperature gradient of the inner and outer layers of the mold to increase, forming thermal stress, causing the surface of the mold to crack or even crack. During the production process, the mold temperature is continuously increased. When the mold temperature is overheated, the mold is easily generated, and the moving parts are broken, resulting in damage to the mold surface. The cooling temperature control system should be set to keep the working temperature of the mold within a certain range.


Nom Photos
by Hot
Members of the National Puzzlers' League have puzzle pseudonyms, aka "noms". The NPL Web site features a page of nom photos.
Here are instructions on how to post nom photos, should you be moved to do it yourself. You will need to log into the wiki, which requires a password, which you can get from treasurer(at)puzzlers(dot)org.
Before you start, you should reduce the size of the photo file you're uploading, so as to avoid overloading the server. So as to fit on the page, the width of the photo will be set to 320 pixels (landscape) or 240 pixels (portrait). Anything bigger is a waste.
 1. Go to the nom photos page. Click on Edit this Page.
 2. Click on the image icon, above the editing field. (The icon is directly to the left of the smiley face.) A new window opens.
 3. On the navigation pane on the left of the new window, expand krewe, by clicking on the + sign to its left. Then click on noms. That will get you to the right place. If you succeeded, the words :krewe:noms should appear at the top of the window.
 4. Click on Choose File. Find and select the image file in your computer. Enter "nom.jpg" for Upload as. (Use the actual nom -- no quotation marks. Make it all lower-case. If that filename already exists, make it "nom-2.jpg, or something else to distinguish it.)
 5. Click Upload. The image should appear in its alphabetical order position on the list below.
 6. The first line should start with ||, end with ||, and have a || near the middle. (This tells the wiki to have two cells in a table, with the || indicating the vertical lines.) If the right-hand cell does not have an image in it, skip to step 8 to put your own image in it.
 7. If the first line's right hand cell already has an image in it, copy the first line, and paste it at the very top of the page, making this the new first line.
 8. Add the nom references, or change the nom references in the pasted line to the nom in the photo you're uploading -- each nom appears twice. The first mention needs to match exactly the name of the image file you have uploaded, presumably "nom.jpg" or something close. Also enter the location where the photo was taken (if you know it), following the pattern of other photos where the location was indicated. Use 320 for landscape, 240 for portrait.
 9. Go back to the edit window, and click Save. Hopefully, the image is there!
If doing this is too much of a hassle, or if you need help, e-mail me. But really, it's easier than it seems, especially if you compare with solving an Uc rebus.

The current interest in using olive biophenols to promote functional ingredients and antioxidant additives is increasing. These compounds can be obtained from olive fruit and olive-derived biomasses using different technologies. However, other components can be co-extracted. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect on protein solubilization of several extraction technologies, which were applied to obtain olive biophenols from olive-derived biomasses. For this purpose, conventional (Soxhlet and water bath) and non-conventional technologies (ultrasound and microwave) have been evaluated using water as solvent. The total phenolic content was estimated using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and the protein content using the Dumas combustion method. Overall, the highest total phenolic content was obtained using the Soxhlet method, while microwave-assisted extraction at 100ºC led to the highest protein solubilization (closer to 60%).

Agent-based tumour models to define adjuvant therapy approaches
Stomach cancer is a frequent form of cancer. Therapies, which affect motility parameters of cancer cells, have proven a diversity of efficiencies. In this project, we will investigate clinically relevant medications in their effectivity to control the motility of cancer cells. We will start from in vitro data of cell motility and understand these with the help of agent-based modelling frameworks. The validated mathematical model can then be used for simulations of larger cancer cell compounds with the aim to determine the impact of therapies targeting cell motility onto the organisation of tumours. The known correlation of cancer cell motility with the probability of metastasis may open new strategies of cancer therapy.

This drawing demonstrates the extremely fine line-work which can be achieved with red chalk. The thinness of the lines suggests that Dalton used a natural red chalk, since these tended to be harder than fabricated or synthetic red chalks. Dalton would probably have fastened a stick of red chalk into a holder and kept the point sharp with a knife. The darkest areas within the figure have been made by cross-hatching and drawing closely spaced narrow lines one on top of the other.

Javascript Question
Eloquent Javascript - correlation and coefficient
Currently I'm reading Eloquent Javascript book and at chapter 4. This topic entitled 'The lycanthrope's log ' is very confusing to me. How important is correlation and coefficient in real world programming?
I'm trying to understand the formula used to find correlation. I've far forgotten maths since I left my high school. Could, someone who've read this book, explain to me in detail, please? Below is the picture I'm wondering about..
enter image description here
Answer Source
The formula is actually pretty straight forward. Consider the table from your question.
The table states that there were a total 90 observations
Out of all 90 observations:
 1. 76 times, no pizzas or squirrel
 2. 9 times, pizzas but no squirrel
 3. 4 times, squirrel but no pizzas
 4. 1 time, both squirrel and pizza
So we want to find out how Pizzas & Squirrels are related:
Consider the equation along with your table now,
(since squirrel is on the left)
n00 denotes an observation where there was no squirrel or pizza (1)
n01 denotes an observation where there was no squirrel but pizza (2)
n10 denotes an observation where there was squirrel but no pizza (3)
n11 denotes an observation where there was both squirrel but pizza (4)
Now that we know what these values are, let's plug them in to our formula -
correlation = (1×76 - 4×9) / √(5×85×10×80)

How to Adjust the Temperature on a Moen Anti-Scald Shower Faucet

You can adjust the temperature on a Moen anti-scald shower faucet.
Image Credit: LOOK Photography/UpperCut Images/GettyImages
Moen is well known for its high-quality, affordable faucets for the kitchen and bath. The company offers a line of anti-scald faucets that allow the user to set and control the temperature of the shower to avoid accidentally turning water to uncomfortably hot temperature.
As the weather changes throughout the year, it may be necessary to change the settings on these anti-scald faucets. Although a hot water heater stays at a stable temperature, the incoming cold water to the house varies in temperature as seasons change, meaning these settings may have to be adjusted for winter and summer usage.
Adjusting Moen Faucet Water Temperature
The Moen Posi-Temp line for showers uses a pressure-balanced system to specifically control the temperature range; their Moentrol line has a similar application but lacks the precise control of the Posi-Temp.
These controls work by using (different) mechanisms to prevent the full opening of the hot water line. This protects the user from accidentally reaching uncomfortable and potentially dangerous hot temperatures in the shower.
Adjusting this mechanism changes the balance of hot and cold water, which adjusts the water temperatures accessible by the Moen anti-scald faucet. It isn't necessarily difficult to adjust this stop, although details vary, depending on the model of faucet in the shower.
Preparing the Faucet
First, purge the line of cold water. Open the Moen faucet handle to the hottest position and allow the water to run until hot. Shut off the water to the faucet using the supply valves; these are usually behind the shower wall.
If these aren't accessible, you may need to shut off water to the entire bathroom. Figure out the most appropriate access point and be sure the water is shut off by opening the faucet to let the line completely drain.
Next, remove the handle from the faucet. Depending on the model, the set screw for the handle may be hidden under a decorative cap; some set screws need a Phillips screwdriver, while others require an Allen wrench. Remove the set screw and pull the handle off the wall.
Adjusting the Set Point
With most models, the cartridge stop ring will be visible. Sometimes there is another screw that you will need to remove with a Phillips screwdriver. Beneath this you should find the limit stop ring, which you can pull out just enough to disengage with the teeth beneath.
To decrease the set temperature (for cooler water), turn the ring or knob counterclockwise. Small increments can make a big change, so turn less than a quarter-turn at first before checking the water temperature.
To increase the set temperature (for warmer water), turn the ring or knob clockwise a small increment. Insert the stop piece back into the sleeve.
Reassembly of the Faucet
Reinstall the outer piece and tighten the set screw. Slide the handle back onto the stem and secure its set screw in place. Turn the water supply back on, run the shower as normal and then test the temperature to make sure the adjustment is sufficient. Repeat steps as necessary until you find the perfect temperature range.
If the shower hasn't been used in a while and you're seeing only hot or only cold water, the entire cartridge may need to be replaced as the inner pieces can get stuck during nonuse. Try to run the shower at least once a week for at least five minutes to prevent this from happening.

Configuring a Jenkins job to deploy to a Kubernetes cluster can be achieved through the following steps:
 1. Install the Kubernetes plugin in Jenkins. This can be done by navigating to "Manage Jenkins" > "Manage Plugins" > "Available" tab, and search for "Kubernetes Plugin". Install the plugin and restart Jenkins if prompted.
 2. Create a Kubernetes cluster if you haven't already done so. This can be done using a cloud provider, such as Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure, or by setting up a local cluster using Minikube.
 3. Create a Kubernetes service account with sufficient permissions to deploy to your Kubernetes cluster. You can create this by creating a YAML file with the required permissions and using the kubectl create command to create the service account.
 4. Configure your Jenkins job to use the Kubernetes plugin. To do this, navigate to your Jenkins job's configuration page, and add a new "Kubernetes Deployment" post-build step. In the configuration, specify the Kubernetes cluster details, the Kubernetes namespace, the service account credentials, and the YAML file that describes the deployment.
 5. Configure the deployment YAML file. This file should describe the Kubernetes deployment, including the container image to be deployed, the number of replicas, and any other necessary details.
 6. Run the Jenkins job to deploy to your Kubernetes cluster. Once your Jenkins job is configured and your deployment YAML file is ready, you can run your job to deploy your application to your Kubernetes cluster.
By following these steps, you can configure a Jenkins job to deploy to a Kubernetes cluster.
