These feather-like crystals are both ingested by humans for health and used by them to scrub floors and get the gunk off tiles. Take a look at what they are, and why polarized light makes them look so amazing.
The picture above is citric acid crystals, viewed through a polarization microscope. Everyone reading this has had either citric acid or scurvy sometime in their life. Citric acid, as you might imagine, is in most citrus fruits, as well as a few berries, is used by companies as a way to serve Vitamin C, and is the powder that you see on the outside of sour balls and other sour candy. The acid also dissolves a lot of grime, and thus is used in household cleaners, which is why many cleaners contain 'lemon oil.' It's a useful molecule, but who expected that it could be prettied up?
A polarization microscope shoots polarized light at objects, especially crystals. Crystals tend toward double refraction. They split beams of light which aren't polarized into two beams, travelling at right angles to each other and polarized at right angles as well. When the beams exit the crystal the two waves, which have traveled at different speeds, are out of phase with each other. A second polarization filter combine, the peaks and valleys merging together to either create huge peaks of light or dark areas, and we get the image above.
It's not often we see the beauty in the everyday, so let us take a quick moment to appreciate the lovely thing we put in our mouths and use to clean our toilets.

Who Does Justice Look Like?
Her changing features—and skin color—over the centuries.
Posted Friday, Jan. 21, 2011, at 5:27 AM
Justice Antonin Scalia recently reminded us that when the 14th Amendment was drafted in the 19th century, it did not focus on ensuring that women were entitled to equal protection of the law. And yet women have long been used as the symbol of the law—as the image of Justice, a figure dating back centuries and deployed in many countries to mark a courthouse.
That worldwide tradition offered up hundreds of images of white women in paintings, prints, and statues. Then, in the 20th century, as real women of all colors gained access to courts, questions emerged about which women could be the models for Justice. In government-sponsored courtroom art, what skin tones could artists use? What scenes could properly adorn new courthouse walls?

The photo by Mark Cole shows a northbound freight train emerging from this short 59-metre tunnel in 1975, close to what is now the boundary between the KCDC and the Porirua City Council.
It's the northernmost of the 5 tunnels in the Pukerua Bay section (originally there were 6 but one was later bypassed).
The tunnels have presented operational problems for decades, mainly because, unlike the rest of the railway between Wellington and Waikanae, they are single track and trains in either direction often have to wait until they can enter this section. If there was double track it would certainly shave at least a couple of minutes off commuter train journey times. But double tracking the tunnels would be expensive.
Another problem before 1967 was that the floors of the tunnels were too high to allow clearance for the diesel locomotives that the railways were steadily putting into service to replace steam. This necessitated all trains (except the units) being hauled by electric locomotives between Paekakariki and Wellington until 1967.
Incidentally, the locomotive is a Dx class diesel from 1972, and their unique orange/yellow livery was nicknamed 'clockwork orange.'

Is it okay to use "let $arg =" within a macro to shadow the previous definition of $arg outside the macro?
I have the following in my code (simplified). Is it okay to use let in such a way to "hijack" the outer variable outside the macro ? It works fine, but somehow feels like a hack...
macro_rules! foo {
 ($gd: ident, $elt: ident) => {
 let $gd = || { $gd(); println!("{}", stringify!($elt)); };
 };
}
fn main() {
 let gd = || println!("First!");
 foo!(gd, ThisIsTheOne);
 foo!(gd, TwoIsTwo);
 foo!(gd, Three);
 gd();
}
(Playground)
The real code uses this trick to inline-create various structures, then alter their values and in the end be able to automagically collect them into a mustache MapBuilder, so the corresponding macro looks as follows:
macro_rules! html_text {
 ($gd: ident, $elt: ident, $rinfo: ident, $modified: ident) => {
 let mut $elt: std::rc::Rc<std::cell::RefCell<HtmlText>> =
 std::rc::Rc::new(std::cell::RefCell::new(Default::default()));
 {
 let mut $elt = $elt.borrow_mut();
 $elt.highlight = $rinfo.state.$elt != $rinfo.initial_state.$elt;
 $elt.value = $rinfo.state.$elt.clone().to_string();
 $elt.id = format!("{}", stringify!($elt));
 $modified = $modified || $elt.highlight;
 }
 let $gd = || {
 $gd()
 .insert(stringify!($elt), &$elt.borrow().clone())
 .unwrap()
 };
 };
}
Yes, in fact this is exactly how pin_utils::pin_mut works!

In fact, the macro cannot access the gd binding defined in main() because of hygiene rules.
The only information macros have access to is the information passed to them directly by means of arguments.
Maybe I misunderstand what you wrote, but the code generated by macro can both call the previous value of $gd which is passed as parameter, as well as effectively redefine it, so the next invocation of the macro can stitch the call to this new value. You can see yourself in the playground example I linked. That's what caused me to ask this question - it works just fine, I just wanted to ensure I am not accidentally exploiting some bug :slight_smile:
Yes, it works because your are working on a variable (ident) provided by the one calling the macro, which thereby grants the macro access to the name itself (not just the value) :slightly_smiling_face:
On the other hand, although rebinding is a very Rusty pattern, therefore not only acceptable but also sometimes needed when within a macro, I personally appreciate when the macro makes it explicit that it is performing a (re)binding. This is usually achieved by requiring some special syntax as input, such as:
macro_rules! foo {(
 $elt:ident => $gd:ident
) => (
 let $gd = || { $gd(); println!("{}", stringify!($elt)); };
)}
fn main ()
{
 let gd = || println!("First!");
 foo!(ThisIsTheOne => gd);
 foo!(TwoIsTwo => gd);
 foo!(Three => gd);
 gd();
}
Aside
You can get rid of some .clone() calls (before calling .to_string() or when taking a & reference), the first elt does not need to be mut if you are using RefCell.
You could even do:
macro_rules! html_text {(
 $gd:ident, $elt:ident, $rinfo:ident, $modified:ident $(,)?
) => (
 let highlight: bool = $rinfo.state.$elt != $rinfo.initial_state.$elt;
 let $elt = ::std::rc::Rc::new(::std::cell::RefCell::new(HtmlText {
 highlight,
 value: $rinfo.state.$elt.to_string(),
 id: stringify!($elt).into(),
 .. Default::default()
 }));
 $modified = $modified || highlight;
 let $gd = || {
 $gd()
 .insert(stringify!($elt), &*$elt.borrow())
 .unwrap()
 };
)}
 - Regarding hygiene, the let highlight = ... binding won't pollute the caller namespace, for instance.

This is very cool, I had no clue about the "=>" syntax - I will try to redo it precisely for the same reasons you mention! Thanks so much!
Context: Highlight is a property of the struct embedding the html input element. This is a part of a tweak/rewrite of my web framework library. The very first iteration which wasn't opensource had way too much boilerplate; the first shot at opensourcing it (the demo/test use of it is in github.com/ayourtch/slrsp) went a bit too heavy on the syn/quote usage; now I am making another, more balanced iteration, which won't have the separate derive crate but rather (maybe) an external command to generate the needed boilerplate + some simpler but easier macros.
The "highlight" is a universal attribute for an input element whenever its state has been changed from initial, I found it was a great thing from the UX standpoint. It gets translated into uniform style change by the mustache template layer.
I think the principle - having a triple of (initial default state; current state; current default state) passed around with every event - is solid, and allows completely stateless processing on the backend, hence my stubbornness at trying to make this better :slight_smile: - thanks a lot for helping! :slight_smile:

Parenthood is good for your health.
That's one way of looking at the data in a new study that compares death rates among couples with and without children. After examining data on more than 21,276 Danish couples who tried to get pregnant, researchers calculated that women who gave birth to a child were four times more likely to be alive at the end of the study period compared with women who remained childless. The benefit to men was smaller but still significant — those who fathered children were twice as likely to be alive compared with men who remained childless.
The couples in the study all sought treatment for infertility; some of those who didn't get pregnant using in vitro fertilization went on to adopt children. These parents also seemed to get a health boost — the mothers in this group were 33% less likely to die compared with women who never had children, and the adoptive fathers were 45% less likely to die.
Previous studies have found a correlation between parenthood and mortality, with the lowest risk of premature death going to couples with two kids. (Of course, everyone has a 100% risk of death in the long run.) But none of this data prove that raising kids is responsible for a longer life.
The authors of the new study, published Wednesday in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, also noted that these data offer a better look at the link between parenthood and health because all of the parents in the study wanted to become parents — that's why they tried fertility treatments. In other studies, it was possible that childless couples were fundamentally different from parents in ways that influenced their health.
The study also examined the link between parenthood and mental health. It found that couples with their own biological children had the same rates of psychiatric illnesses as childless couples. But mothers and fathers of adopted children saw their risk drop by about half.

The Medical Anthropology minor develops students' understanding of health from the perspective of human cultural and biological diversity. Current trends in education and employment show a growing need for medical anthropology knowledge and expertise in a variety of national and international career directions. This Minor therefore prepares students for future graduate studies and work in health professions, including medicine, global health, nursing, and social work.
- The minor is not open to anthropology majors.
- Students must earn a grade of "C" (2.0) or better in all courses used to satisfy the minor.
- At least 15 hours used in the minor must be earned at UCF within the Department of Anthropology.
- Only two anthropology courses can overlap for students enrolled in multiple anthropology programs (minors or certificates). (Note: The myKnight Audit cannot capture overlapping courses between two or more programs; therefore, students should have their program reviewed by the department before filing for graduation.)
- Students must satisfy each course's prerequisites before enrolling in the class.
Tuition and Fees
$212.28 per credit hour

Effects of soil packing on seed germination and seedling response
Djokoto, Israel Kofi
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this study was to determine the methods of post-seeding packing which would be beneficial to wheat seedlings and consequently to suggest the types of packers which could be used to the best advantage on the farm. The experiments were conducted in a humidity controlled chamber with Manitou wheat seeded in clay loam soil. After seeding, the soil samples contained in cylinders were compacted with a flat surface at seed level or above the seed. In some cases loose soil was spread on the soil surface. The control was uncompacted soil sample. In two experiments two layers of soil with different moisture contents were used; wet consolidated soil at the bottom and dry loose soil on top. The depth of seeding was about 6 cm. Kernel moisture absorption, germination emergence and the heights of seedlings were determined. Statistical analyses were carried out on the data. Packing at seed level only, promoted early emergence. This called for an introduction of a packer which would pack the soil at seed level and leave the soil above the seed loose. However packing above the seed was useful when there was enough moisture below while the moisture content of the soil at the seed level was not enough to sustain the seedling up to emergence. In this circumstance, packers on the farm could be usefully employed. Initial moisture absorption rate and germination of the wheat seed was independent of packing for the soil conditions considered.


The save/replace game dialogue - part 1
2/19/2009 – ChessBase 10 contains a large variety of fields into which you can input player and tournament information when saving a game. Some of these can be confusing for new users. In this week's ChessBase Workshop, learn the important difference between saving and replacing a game, and get a first look at the most commonly-used game header fields. Workshop...
Your key to fresh ideas, precise analyses and targeted training!
This week's ChessBase Workshop is going to focus on an old program feature which still proves troublesome to new users: the save game/replace game dialogue. Although we've discussed this before in a previous column or two, it's one of those areas which really can't be stressed enough; understanding it fully can save you a lot of grief later on down the road.
To begin our discussion, let's look at the important differences between saving and replacing games in a database. In its simplest form, the main difference can be boiled down to a couple of rules of thumb:
 - If you're manually entering a new game move-by-move into a database, you'll want to use "Save game" when you're finished.
 - If you're adding commentary/variations or making other changes to an existing game, you'll want to use "Replace game" when you're finished.
It's that simple. Of course, there are always exceptions, among them being cases in which you might annotate a game contained in one database and wish to save the finished product in a different one, or you may add notes to a game which already contains commentary by someone else and wish to save yours as a separate copy (in order to preserve the other guy's original work in an unaltered form), etc. But the two bulleted cases listed above will serve as general rules of thumb.
Saving a game means that a separate copy will be saved into the database (and which, by the way, will appear as the last game in a database's game list). Replacing a game means that the original game in the database will be replaced by the version you just altered (and the newly-altered version will appear in the same spot in the game list as did the original unaltered version).
There you have it -- the basic difference between the two actions.
Regardless of whether you're saving or replacing a game, you'll see the same dialogue appear on your screen. If you're saving a game, the dialogue won't contain any information (most of its fields will be blank):
If you're replacing a game, the existing information (from when the game was originally saved) will appear in the dialogue:
In both cases, you can add or change information in this dialogue before clicking "OK" (which completes the process and either saves or replaces the game).
Let's look now at the specific dialogue information and how it should be recorded. We'll assume for the sake of the discussion that we're "starting fresh": entering a game by hand and saving it into a database (as opposed to adding information to, and replacing, an existing game). We've entered the moves of the game and are ready to save it. We click "Save" and get our "blank" dialogue:
"White" and "Black" refer to the respective two players. Note the small comma between the two "blanks" after 'White"; this gives us a valuable clue as to how this part of the dialogue should be filled in. The comma tells us that the leftmost blank should contain the player's last name, followed in the rightmost box by the player's first name. The boxes for "Black" work the same way:
If you're hand-entering a game played by professional players (perhaps from a chess book or magazine), you can use the "question mark" buttons to the far right of both "White" and "Black" to search for the player in the Players Encyclopedia and automatically enter the information contained therein.
We're going to skip over the "Tournament" field temporarily, though we'll come back to it. We're going to devote a whole column to the options for just this field. For now, you can just enter a geographic place name or an actual tournament name here.
The "ECO" field will already be filled in for you. The software will already have identified the proper alphanumeric Encyclopedia of Chess Openings code and will automatically place the information in the box.
"Elo White" and "Elo Black" are where you'll enter the players' ratings (if known). Once again I'll remind you that Arpad Elo's rating system for games and sports wasn't adopted internationally in the chess community until the early 1970's; chess games played prior to this will not have rating information available.
You can enter "Round" and "Subround" numbers if known (and if applicable). Why "Subround"? You'll occasionally see chess events in which the players might play one game as each color as part of a "round" (i.e two -- or three, if tiebreaks are involved -- games per round); the "subround" field gives you a place to enter such information.
"Result" allows you to enter a variety of game results, including a number of different evaluation symbols (via the "pulldown" arrow, which you would use when entering some analysis instead of an actual game). "Date" will typically default to the date you're manually entering the game, so you'll often change this to the date the game was actually played.
When you're finished, just click the "OK" button to complete the process of saving the game into the database.
There's an important difference of which you should be aware when replacing a game. There will be several bits of information already filled in, consisting of the existing game header info:
Note that some information contains a check in a box beside it (in the above illustration, it's "ECO Code", "Round", and "Year"). Other information, while filled in, doesn't have a check in the corresponding box ("Month" and "Day" in the illustration). It's important to note that even though some header info might already be filled in, it won't appear in the actual replaced game header unless the corresponding box is checked. Going back to the illustration, you don't need to worry about the wrong month and day being saved in the header; even though there are values in the boxes, there's no check in the boxes -- the info isn't saved when "OK" is clicked.
There are a couple of other observations which should be made before we leave off for another week. First, you're not required to put something in every single field in this dialogue. If you don't know a round number or the month and day a game was played, just leave those fields blank; the software will still save the game anyway.
You can also put pretty much anything you want into a field. For example, you've entered the moves of a line of analysis taken from an opening reference; you want to save it into a database, but you don't have any player or tournament information available. How do you complete the game header?
I do this sort of thing all the time. Typically I'll just type the word "Analysis" in the box for the White player's last name, while leaving the first name field blank. In the Black player's last name field, I'll type either the verbal name of the opening or the moves of a brief identifying variation line. In the "Tournament" box, I'll type the name of the opening reference from which the analysis came (so I know the source later). For "Result" I'll use the evaluation given in that source material. For "Year" I use the year the source material was published (and I'll even include a month number if the analysis came from a chess magazine).
You can enter any information you want, but the important thing is to be consistent. Don't input one game with the word "Analysis" in the White player field and then put that word in the Black player field the next time around. Don't use the year of publication one time and then use the year you saved it in your database for the next bit of analysis you enter.
And whether you're saving games or analysis, be as thorough as you can with your game headers. For player names, use a player's full first name if you have that info available, not just an initial or (worse) a blank in the "first name" field. If you have the exact date a game was played, there's no reason to not enter the whole thing in your saved game header.
Be thorough and be consistent, and this will save you a lot of aggravation later.
Until next week, have fun!

Model-Based and Trace-Based Timing Analysis
- Thursday, 27 October 2011
Symtavision (Braunschweig, Germany) has launched SymTA/S 3.0 and TraceAnalyzer 3.0, the first fully integrated versions of these system-level tools for model-based design and trace-based verification. Targeted at automotive, aerospace, automation, and other performanceand safety-critical systems, the combination of SymTA/S 3.0 and TraceAnalyzer 3.0 enables high efficiency and reliability for the dimensioning, optimization, regression-testing, and verification of controllers and networks, focusing on load, task and message latencies, system schedulability, end-to-end timing, data consistency, and other key properties that ensure system correctness.
The launch of SymTA/S 3.0 and TraceAnalyzer 3.0 creates an integrated solution delivering full, round-trip support for modeland trace-based timing analysis. Engineers can rapidly merge controller or network traces into existing SymTA/S models. They can start from traces and then change the system configuration virtually to predict the performance impact of additional tasks or messages, different scheduling strategies, or faster hardware.

The Fire Seed Caves were a section of Rubeus Hagrid's garden in the Forbidden Forest, so named because they were where Rubeus Hagrid grew his Fire Seed Bushes. Other than the Fire Seed Bushes, the caves were infested with Doxies, Streelers, Venomous Tentaculas, and Fire Crabs. Massive subterranean waterfalls ran through sections of the caves. Though mostly natural in environment, the Fire Seed Caves showed some sign of Hagrid's presence in them, most notably wooden portcullises blocking off certain areas.
In 1991, Hagrid, who had recently acquired a Norwegian Ridgeback egg from a hooded stranger, required Fire Seeds to increase the heat in his fireplace and hatch the egg properly. As he could not leave the fire unattended, he sent Harry Potter into the Fire Seed Caves to collect seeds for him. Harry successfully collected the required number of seeds and returned them to Hagrid.

How to retrieve organizations IP address
I am trying to create a visualization which shows the organization the IP address.
Check this link may help you
thanks @ylasri I am still very confused. is it possible for you to guide me step by step i want to get the ASN from an IP address which is in Log.
How are you ingesting your logs into elasticsearch ? filebeat or logatsh ?
Check this processor to have more ideas
*Depends on what is available in database_file :
 - If the GeoLite2 City database is used, then the following fields may be added under the target_field : ip , country_iso_code , country_name , continent_name , region_iso_code , region_name , city_name , timezone , latitude , longitude and location . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in properties .
 - If the GeoLite2 Country database is used, then the following fields may be added under the target_field : ip , country_iso_code , country_name and continent_name . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in properties .
 - If the GeoLite2 ASN database is used, then the following fields may be added under the target_field : ip , asn , organization_name and network . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in properties .
Try this example on Dev Console, you can combine multiple geoip processor to get what you need
PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip
{
 "description" : "Add geoip info",
 "processors" : [
 {
 "geoip" : {
 "field" : "ip"
 }
 },
 {
 "geoip" : {
 "field" : "ip",
 "target_field" : "geo_asn",
 "database_file" : "GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb"
 }
 }
 ]
}
PUT my-asn-logs
{
 "settings": {
 "number_of_shards": 1,
 "number_of_replicas": 0
 },
 "mappings": {
 "properties": {
 "timestamp": {
 "type": "date"
 },
 "ip": {
 "type": "ip"
 }
 }
 }
}
POST my-asn-logs/_doc?pipeline=geoip
{
 "@timestamp": "2020-10-10T10:10:10.000",
 "ip": "196.75.80.10"
}
GET my-asn-logs/_search
okay I will try and revert.Thanks
@ylasri Thank you how should i visualize this for example an ip address in the log matches with the asn so is it possible to create a visualization?
Yes all possible, all you need is :
1- Create an index pattern
2- Go to discover to search on your logs you will get ip and asn
3- You can create visualization (Example unique count of IP per ASN ... etc)
i created an index pattern
in discover it does show ip and asn
i want to create a visualization matching kibana sample log and the my-asn-log rest is working just fine
The data in kibana_sample_data_logs has been enriched using default properties
You need to reindex the data using a custom ingest pipeline to add properties like asn ...
Try this
PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip
{
 "description" : "Add geoip info",
 "processors" : [
 {
 "geoip" : {
 "field" : "clientip",
 "database_file": "GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb",
 "target_field": "clientip_geo"
 }
 }
 ]
}
POST kibana_sample_data_logs/_update_by_query?pipeline=geoip
you will see a new field added
 "clientip_geo" : {
 "ip" : "111.58.155.54",
 "organization_name" : "Guangdong Mobile Communication Co.Ltd.",
 "asn" : 9808
 },

yep one step closer but when i try to build the visualization the fields that are added are not displayed inside the table are not being displayed
Go to index pattern and refresh it
Thank you so much for your effort, time,help and patience. :smiley: :+1:

Session 107 - Radio Astronomy and VLBI Instruments.
Display session, Thursday, January 16
We describe a near real-time test correlator for the upcoming VSOP space VLBI mission. The correlator will be used as an additional debugging tool for the VSOP satellite in its in-orbit checkout period before astronomical observations begin.
The correlator is a PC-based system which will acquire digitized signals from a test radio source using the VSOP satellite and the 140-foot telescope located in Green Bank, WV as a single baseline interferometer. Once the signals have been acquired, the data will then be correlated using digital signal processing hardware so that feedback about the state of the spacecraft can be presented quickly to the satellite operations group.

RACI Matrix
Business Analyst / Project Manager in Orange County, California
RACI matrix roles and responsibilities
The RACI matrix clarifies responsibilities and ensures that all project tasks have someone assigned to do them. It is created before commencement of any project, and updated as needed throughout a project. The matrix helps identify where a project will fall short on resources before work begins and highlights key decision points along the way.
 - Consulted: People or stakeholders who need to give input before the work can be done and signed-off on. These people are "in the loop" and are active participants throughout the project.
 - Informed: People or stakeholders who need to be kept "in the picture." They need updates on progress or decisions, but they do not need to be formally consulted, nor do they contribute directly to the task or decision.
Below is a RACI matrix I created for a fictional eCommerce website for a Pet Store.

Utility accommodation policies nationwide contain requirements for the accommodation, location, installation, relocation, and maintenance of utility facilities on the state right-of-way. The policies normally cover basic requirements, making it necessary to use additional specifications and special provisions to handle situations not covered by the policies. Frequently, because of the lack of standard utility installation construction specifications at transportation agencies, many different versions of special specifications and special provisions exist. Closely related to the need to standardize construction specifications for utility installations is the need to standardize methodologies and procedures for determining the cost of utility relocation. This lack of standardization translates into difficulties such as how to verify the validity of the cost data submitted for reimbursement and how to prepare adequately for audits and other internal and external inquiries. This paper summarizes the work completed to develop a prototype framework of construction specification requirements for utility installations, with a focus on water, sanitary sewer, and communication specifications. The specification framework includes five groups of specifications: earth work, pipes and boxes, appurtenances, other, and general (including specifications such as mobilization and traffic control, which highway construction contracts typically include but are also relevant to the utility relocation process). The framework uses tables that summarize the main characteristics of proposed new and modified standard specifications and includes a listing of pay items, subsidiary items, and corresponding measurement units. The framework also includes specification requirements.

This paper describes the use of indirect microwave holographic together with inverse scattering techniques for the reconstruction of the dielectric properties of unknown objects. The use of indirect microwave holography enables the complex field scattered from the object under imaging to be recovered from intensity-only scalar microwave measurements and therefore removes the requirement of using expensive vector measurement equipment. This significantly reduces the cost of the imaging system and simplifies the hardware implementation. Following the successful implementation of indirect holography method for shape and position reconstruction, we have explored an algorithm which combines indirect holography method and CSI method to solve the phaseless data reconstruction problem. Results presented here indicate that the material properties of composite dielectric objects can be accurately reconstructed using scalar measurements from indirect holography.

Getting Interfaces to COM Object
IUnknown and IDispatch Interfaces
When you invoke the actxserver or actxcontrol functions, the MATLAB® software creates the server and returns a handle to the server interface as a means of accessing its properties and methods. The software uses the following process to determine which handle to return:
 1. First get a handle to the IUnknown interface from the component. All COM components are required to implement this interface.
 2. Attempt to get the IDispatch interface. If IDispatch is implemented, return a handle to this interface. If IDispatch is not implemented, return the handle to IUnknown.
Additional Interfaces
Components often provide additional interfaces, based on IDispatch, that are implemented as properties. Like any other property, you obtain these interfaces using the MATLAB get function.
For example, a Microsoft® Excel® component contains numerous interfaces. To list these interfaces, along with Excel properties, type:
h = actxserver('Excel.Application');
MATLAB displays information like:
 Application: [1x1 Interface.Microsoft_Excel_9.0_
 Creator: 'xlCreatorCode'
 Parent: [1x1 Interface.Microsoft_Excel_9.0_
 ActiveCell: []
 ActiveChart: [1x50 char]
To see if Workbooks is an interface, type:
w = h.Workbooks
MATLAB displays:
w =
The information displayed depends on the version of the Excel software you have on your system.
For examples using Excel in MATLAB, see:
Custom Interfaces
The MATLAB COM Interface supports custom interfaces for the following client/server configurations:
Limitations to custom interface support are:
 - Custom interfaces are not supported on a 64-bit version of MATLAB.
 - You cannot invoke functions with optional parameters.
Once you have created a server, you can query the server component to see if any custom interfaces are implemented using the interfaces function.
For example, if you have a component with the ProgID mytestenv.calculator, you can see its custom interfaces using the commands:
h = actxserver('mytestenv.calculator');
customlist = h.interfaces
MATLAB displays the interfaces, which might be:
customlist =
To get the handle to a particular interface, use the invoke function:
c1 = invoke(h,'ICalc1')
c1 =
Use this handle c1 to access the properties and methods of the object through this custom interface ICalc1.
For example, to list the properties, use:
 background: 'Blue'
 height: 10
 width: 0
To list the methods, use:
 Add = double Add(handle, double, double)
 Divide = double Divide(handle, double, double)
 Multiply = double Multiply(handle, double, double)
 Subtract = double Subtract(handle, double, double)
To add and multiply numbers using the Add and Multiply methods of the object, use:
sum = Add(c1,4,7)
sum =
prod = c1.Multiply(4, 7)
prod =

Feathered trees are profitable
This second-leaf Gala tree produced the equivalent of 300 bushels per acre.
Does it pay to plant a more expensive, but highly feathered tree rather than a one-year graft, bench graft, or sleeping eye tree?
Cornell University's Dr. Terence Robinson, who has studied the economics of planting different types of trees, believes that most growers are better off planting a finished tree.
While unfinished trees are half to one-third the cost of feathered trees, his analysis of the effect of tree price and its influence on profitability showed that the differences between the cost of using finished versus unfinished trees were small when trees were planted at low densities.
At low densities, the feathered trees were the most profitable. The optimum tree density for feathered trees was around 950 trees per acre, whereas the optimum density for low-cost trees was more than 2,000 trees per acre.
"In large measure, you're trading dollars at all the densities—you buy cheaper trees, you get less yield, or you buy more expensive trees and you get early yield," he said.
Moreover, in many locations, such as New York, the smaller trees do not produce fruit in the second year.
For those who have the management and knowledge to grow sleeping eyes or one-year grafts, they can work well, he said. But there is greater risk in growing bench grafts in a new planting. In a Cornell trial, they had a 98 percent survival from feathered trees, but he has heard of as low as 50 percent takes in bench-graft plantings.
"You're less likely to fail if you plant highly feathered trees," Robinson said.
He reminds eastern growers that micro-drip irrigation must be available to supply the highly feathered trees with water within two weeks of planting. "Highly feathered trees experience water stress in late May and June due to limited root systems and extensive leaf area," he stated, adding that water must be applied frequently to the newly planted trees.
Fertigation can also improve tree growth to the young trees, as they have limited nutrient uptake due to damaged root systems.
He recommends providing the young trees with 60 to 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre through the drip system over the course of about ten weeks. A liquid nitrogen product like CAN 17 works well, he said. About 60 pounds per acre per year of potassium is needed in the third year of planting.


Punching Shear (Shear Strength) Formula
📕 Contents
Punching Shear (Shear Strength) and Its Calculation Formula
Introduction:
Punching shear, also known as shear strength, is a critical structural engineering parameter in reinforced concrete structures. It refers to the shear stress that occurs in the vicinity of columns or load-bearing elements where vertical loads are transferred horizontally to the slab or foundation. This article explores the concept of punching shear and presents the calculation formula used to assess it.
What is Punching Shear?
Punching shear is a phenomenon that arises when there is a concentrated load on a relatively small area of a slab or foundation. The concrete in this region is subjected to shear forces, which can lead to structural failure if not properly addressed in the design.
The Calculation Formula:
The formula used to calculate punching shear resistance is as follows:
V_u = (A_v * f_y) / s * √d * (1.0 + β₁ * √(d / x)) - (A_s * f_y)
Where:
 - V_u: Punching shear resistance
 - A_v: Cross-sectional area
 - f_y: Yield strength of steel reinforcement
 - s: Shear perimeter
 - d: Effective depth or thickness of the slab or foundation
 - x: Distance between the edge of the slab or foundation and the shear reinforcement
 - β₁: Factor determined by design codes
Punching shear is a crucial consideration in the design of reinforced concrete structures. Proper calculation and evaluation of punching shear resistance are essential to ensure structural integrity and safety. Engineers use the provided formula along with design codes and standards to design structures that can withstand punching shear forces.

You've hit on one the significant design limitations to the current version of FileMaker security settings. You are indeed limited to controlling access to specific records of a given table, and cannot specify user specific access limits for specific fields.
There are several possible work arounds.
- You have figured this one out already, which is to have several layouts and control access at the layout level by taking the user to different layouts.
- You can split your table into two or more parts linked in one to one relationships. Now you have separate tables so you can make one of those tables the "section" of your form that needs limited access. You can still keep all the fields on the same layout due to the one to one relationship between the two tables.
- You can also control access at the interface level with script triggers that deny access to the field when the user's privilege set is not one where access is permitted. This is fairly easy to set up but requires that you not leave any loop holes in your layout design that enable them to have access where they shouldn't.
- You can use a validation rule to deny all changes to data in a field if the user's privilege set does not allow them to edit that field. They will be allowed access to the field, but when they exit, an error pops up and they are required to revert the changes. This isn't terribly user friendly, but it's a good insurance policy to put in place if you decide to use script triggers to control access to specific fields as it will plug any "gaps" in your system that you may have unintentonally left in place in your interface design.
Amazing feedback as usual.
I take good note of it.

Head of a Guardian
Japanese, Heian period
Head of a Guardian, second half of 11th century
Assembled woodblock construction with traces of polychrome and gilding
The equipoise of this head derives from the works of the great sculptor Jocho, whose style dominated Japanese sculpture in the eleventh century. Reflecting the aristocratic taste of the Heian capital (modern Kyoto) during the Fujiwara regency and the flowering of a Japanese cultural and artistic expression, this elegant piece contrasts with the more emphatically Chinese character of ninth-century Heian sculpture.
Because it is a fragment and no specific attribute is present, the exact identity of the head remains unknown. It may have been from a set of Buddhist guardians of the four cardinal directions (Shitenno) or one of the twelve heavenly generals (Juni shinsho). The head was once painted and gilded, heightening the wrathful expression of this protector of the faith. Its assembled woodblock construction was developed to meet the demand for images created by the increased patronage of the Fujiwara period. Using this method, artistic workshops could produce large quantities of lightweight images with speed, pegging and gluing together relatively shallowly carved pieces of wood.

Hyundai Oilbank has outlined plans for a new biodiesel plant to be built in South Korea.
The new 130,000-ton facility will be constructed in the southwest of the country in 2023.
A spokesman for the company said the proposals include changing part of the Daesan plant to produce 500,000 tons of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) annually.
Daesan is a petrochemical complex in Seosan, about 120 kilometers southwest of Seoul.
The refiner said it will seek to tap into the global market with production of sustainable aviation fuel by using the HVO.
Hyundai Oilbank will also seek to build a white bio production facility in other countries, like Indonesia, where it is easy to secure the supply of raw materials, and will further expand to bio chemicals, using the by-products of white bio materials, the company said.
It will work to establish a white bio ecosystem of an annual 1 million tons by 2030, according to Hyundai Oilbank.
White biotechnology refers to using non-polluting renewable resources, like plants, molds and bacteria, to produce chemical materials and energy sources. It is considered more environmentally friendly than the existing bio business largely based on beans, corn and palm trees that can hurt forests and farms along the production process.

Heritability of first-order-lateral roots in five Quercus species: effect on 1-0 seedling quality evaluation
Heritability estimates (h2) were calculated for first-order lateral root (FOLR) numbers on a family plot mean basis for 5 Quercus species: Q. alba, Q. falcata, Q, michauxii, Q. pagoda, and Q. rubra. All species were grown with the same nursery soil fertility protocol and the same seedling bed density (54-67/m2). Regardless of Quercus species, seedlings with the fewest FOLR (0-3) were not generally competitive in the nursery bed environment and had the smallest root collar diameter and height. In any family, those individuals with the most robust root systems exhibited the fastest growth and occupied the dominant crown position. Based upon root morphology and stem characteristics, less than 50 percent of the seedlings from any species may be competitive and occupy a dominant crown position in the nursery.


Compound queriesedit
Compound queries wrap other compound or leaf queries, either to combine their results and scores, to change their behaviour, or to switch from query to filter context.
The queries in this group are:
constant_score query
A query which wraps another query, but executes it in filter context. All matching documents are given the same "constant" _score.
bool query
The default query for combining multiple leaf or compound query clauses, as must, should, must_not, or filter clauses. The must and should clauses have their scores combined — the more matching clauses, the better — while the must_not and filter clauses are executed in filter context.
dis_max query
A query which accepts multiple queries, and returns any documents which match any of the query clauses. While the bool query combines the scores from all matching queries, the dis_max query uses the score of the single best- matching query clause.
function_score query
Modify the scores returned by the main query with functions to take into account factors like popularity, recency, distance, or custom algorithms implemented with scripting.
boosting query
Return documents which match a positive query, but reduce the score of documents which also match a negative query.

Nucleic acid content in brain, liver, kidney and gonads of the freshwater fish Notopterus notopterus collected from different aquatic bodies were studied during pre-spawning phase of the reproductive cycle. The three different aquatic bodies selected were Saradgi nala, Bennithora River and Bheema River and their physiochemical parameters also studied. The present study of nucleic acid content in brain, liver, kidney and gonads of the fish Notopterus notopterus collected from aquatic body Bennithora River shows normal levels of the nucleic acid as compared to that of fish from other two aquatic bodies. The normal content of nucleic acid content of N.notoptuers in the aquatic body Bennithora may be due to favorable environmental condition for survival, growth, distribution and reproductive activity.

Unlearned flow information
When a flow is unlearned i.e. removed from the flow table in the SmartNIC, information about the flow is generated. See Flow unlearning for more information about how a flow can be unlearned. A flow info record includes the following:
 - User-defined flow ID.
 - Number of bytes and frames received in the flow.
 - RX time stamp of the last frame in the flow.
 - Union of all TCP flags observed over the life of the flow.
 - Cause of the flow unlearning.
Note: TCP flags are collected either from the inner layer or the outer layer determined by the IpProtocol configuration in NTPL. If IpProtocol is set to Inner, inner layer TCP sessions are tracked. If it is set to Outer, outer layer TCP sessions are be tracked. If it is set to None (default), TCP sessions are not tracked.

 uint64_t id; /*!< The 64-bit user-defined ID from the flow programming operation */
 uint16_t flagsA; /*!< Bitwise OR of TCP flags for packets in set A */
 uint16_t flagsB; /*!< Bitwise OR of TCP flags for packets in set B */
 uint8_t cause; /*!< Unlearn cause (0: Software, 1: Timeout, 2: TCP flow termination */
} NtFlowInfo_t;
Note: The flow info record of an unlearned flow is generated only if the gfi field of NtFlow_s was set to 1 when learning the flow. See API: Learn a Flow for more information about flow learning.
The associated flow can be identified using the id field which contains the user-defined flow identification. See Programming Key ID, key set ID and flow ID.
Two counter sets, A and B are supported. Two separate counter sets can be utilized handling counters for upstream traffic and downstream traffic individually for example. NtFlowInfo_s contains values for both counter sets. By default counter set A is used. It can be configured which counter set to be used using NTPL as shown in the following example.
Assign[StreamId=(0..3); Color=0; Descriptor=DYN4, ColorBits=FlowID] = Upstream and \\
 Key(kd, KeyID=1, CounterSet=CSA) == 4
Assign[StreamId=(0..3); Color=0; Descriptor=DYN4, ColorBits=FlowID] = Downstream and \\
 Key(kd, KeyID=1, FieldAction=Swap, CounterSet=CSB) == 4
In this example, counter set A is used for upstream traffic and counter set B is used for downstream traffic. See the full NTPL command example and descriptions in Flow Management over Network TAP Configuration.
The flagsA and flagsB fields contain nine 1-bit of flags (control bits) for a TCP flow. It can be utilized to track status changes of the TCP session.
The cause field contains what caused the flow unlearning operation. The returned value is one of the following:
 - 0: Unlearned by NT_FlowWrite in the application.
 - 1: Unlearned due to a timeout event because the flow was inactive during the defined period. The time can be configured using the FlowTimeOut parameter in /opt/napatech3/config/ntservice.ini. The default value is 120000 milliseconds as shown in the following example.
 FlowTimeOut = 120000 # 0 .. _PHONE_
 Note: Set FlowTimeOut to 0 to disable the timeout feature.
 - 2: Unlearned automatically when the TCP session was terminated. This applies to a TCP flow if the tau field of NtFlow_s was set to 1 when the flow was learned. See API: Learn a Flow.
Note: Automatic TCP flow unlearning can be controlled on a per-flow basis by setting the tau field of NtFlow_s when learning a flow. See API: Learn a Flow
Note: The IpProtocol parameter must be set to either Inner or Outer in NTPL commands to enable tracking of TCP sessions for automatic TCP flow unlearning. If IpProtocol is set to Inner, inner layer TCP sessions are tracked. If IpProtocol is set to Outer, outer layer TCP sessions are be tracked. If it is set to None (default), TCP sessions are not tracked, and TCP flows are not automatically unlearned.
Read flow info records of unlearned flows
The following code snippet shows how to read flow info records of unlearned flows.
 NtFlowInfo_t flowInfo;
 // For each element in the flow stream queue, print the flow info record.
 while(NT_FlowRead(flowStream, &flowInfo, 0) == NT_SUCCESS) {
 std::cout << "NT_FlowRead of flow ID " << flowInfo.id << std::endl
 << "CSA: Packages: " << flowInfo.packets_a
 << ", Octets: " << flowInfo.octets_a << std::endl
 << "CSB: Packages: " << flowInfo.packets_b
 << ", Octets: " << flowInfo.octets_b << std::endl
 << "Time stamp: " << flowInfo.ts << std::endl
 << "TCP flags A: " << flowInfo.flags_a
 << ", TCP flags B: " << flowInfo.flags_b << std::endl;
 switch(flowInfo.cause) {
 case 0: std::cout << "Unlearn cause: Software" << std::endl; break;
 case 1: std::cout << "Unlearn cause: Timeout" << std::endl; break;
 case 2: std::cout << "Unlearn cause: TCP flow termination" << std::endl; break;
 default: std::cout << "Unlearn cause: Not supported" << std::endl; break;
 }
 }
After a flow is unlearned, the SmartNIC delivers the flow info record to the host. Up to 65536 records can be stored in the host memory. If the host memory is full, new records from the SmartNIC will be dropped. It is therefore good practice calling NT_FlowRead until no more records are available as shown in this example.
Note: If receiving flow info records is not needed, set the gfi field of NtFlow_s to 0 when learning flows. See API: Learn a Flow.
Note: Flow info records are read from the same flow stream that originally learned the flows.

Sitting Comfortably? Exploring Asian Aspirations and Professional Identity
The dental profession has recently undergone a number of radical changes, most notably with the introduction of the dental contract, which debuted in April 2006. Such a dynamic shift has been met with mixed responses and questions are currently being raised surrounding the professional and personal values of newly qualified dentists (The Patients' Association, 2008).
In turn, concerns are raised about levels of preparedness within higher education. As a community of educators, it is important for us to realise the ambitions of those we train to be professionals as we are somewhat responsible for instilling a sense of proficiency within them (Macfarlane, 2004). According to the higher education statistics agency, (HESA, 2006/07), predominantly large numbers of those studying to become dentists are of South Asian heritage and female. It is suggested that culture, in its broadest sense, has a significant impact upon their notion of professional identity.
Preliminary research is presented in this paper which highlights the aspirations of a sample group of dental students, from the South Asian community with respect to their profession. Initial findings reflect the discussions introduced by Bordieu (1984) on cultural capital and moreover its prevalent influence in terms of making professional choices.

We've been working hard to provide credible assumptions on how we work out data. Click on the underlined figures to reach their sources.
Number of people living in the UK in 2011 is 62,300,000
Number of dwellings/households in the UK in 2011 was 26,300,000
Average number of people living per household is 2.36 (population divided by households), this does not take into account roughly 15,000+ people who live on the streets in the UK.
Number of roads/streets in the UK 260,000 based on the Open Street Map project stats. This is an approximate figure.
This allows us to deduce that there are 101 dwellings on average per road in the UK (26,300,000 dwellings divided by 260,000 roads).
There are 240 people living on the average road in the UK (62,300,000 people divided by 260,000 roads).

Is Gelatin Halal? What about Bovine sources?
"Is gelatin Halal? What if it is from a bovine source but not slaughtered according to shari'ah"
Gelatin, as far as my research has shown,
does not go through a chemical or molecular change in which it is modified into another substance.
Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolysed form of collagen, without any chemical or molecular transformation. Basically the collagen of the animal is washed (with peptides and other substances added), and through this process the collagen is broken down and processed into another form, whether that be liquid or solid. There is no transformation that renders it into a totally different and separate substance.
Looking at Gelatin Sources
Based on this, you have to look at the source:
 1. Naturally, fish and vegetable sources are completely acceptable.
 2. Bovine sources (as well as any other animal with is Halal to eat) are acceptable
 - if that animal was slaughtered in a manner acceptable to the Shariah.
 - If the gelatin is from an animal slaughtered or killed incorrectly, then it is not permissible.
 3. If it is from Porcine sources, it is categorically forbidden.
and Allah knows best
updated 09/30/2012
To add a little more context, I thought I'd add this from the above linked Wikipedia article:
While there are many processes whereby collagen can be converted to gelatin, they all have several factors in common. The intermolecular and intramolecular bonds which stabilize insoluble collagen rendering it insoluble must be broken, and the hydrogen bonds which stabilize the collagen helix must also be broken The manufacturing process consists of three main stages:

How to convert megawatt hours to megawatts
A megawatt hour (MWh) is a unit of energy. It is a measure of the actual amount of power consumed or produced by one megawatt expended for a period of one hour. A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power. It describes the rate at which power is being consumed or produced by a circuit at any given moment in time.
A megawatt is equivalent to one million watts.
The formula used to calculate megawatt-hours is Megawatt hours (MWh) = Megawatts (MW) x Hours (h).
To convert megawatt hours to megawatts, you are going to need to divide the number of megawatt hours by the number of hours. In other words: Megawatts (MW) = Megawatt hours (MWh) / Hours (h).
- A megawatt hour (MWh) is a unit of energy.
Determine the number of megawatt hours.
Determine the number of hours. (To convert megawatt hours to megawatts, the number of hours must also be known.)
Divide the number of megawatt hours by the number of hours. The resulting number is the number of megawatts.
- "Wiring Simplified;" 40th Edition; H. P. Richter, W. C. Schwan, F. P. Hartwell; 2002
- For example: You have a high-powered lamp that has used 3 megawatt hours over the course of 6 hours. To figure out how many megawatts your lamp is, you would divide the number of megawatt hours (3) by the number of hours (6) to get 0.5 megawatts.
- Another example: You receive a power bill indicating that your household has used 1,000 megawatts during the previous month. The previous month has 31 days, which means that there were 744 hours in the month (31 days x 24 hours/day). To calculate the average number of megawatts present in all circuits in your house at any one given moment of time, you would divide the number of megawatt hours (1,000) by the number of hours (744) to get approximately 1.34 megawatts. This number would be an average because the amount of power being consumed by your household presumably fluctuates.
- Note that the number of megawatts used in the examples were selected solely for demonstration purposes, and not because they reflect the typical (or even possible) wattage of lamps.

Working Out Loud Week is from 5-11 June 2017. Working Out Loud Week is a chance for a global community of practitioners to find new freedom to work together to practice sharing work in progress with relevant communities for learning and collaboration. The theme of this WOLWeek is 'Contribute and Create Value'
Day 3: Contribute
When we think of working out loud, our thoughts often go first to sharing. We begin with how our work can be shared with others. However, in the design of these five days of WOLWeek, we have put contribution before sharing. The generosity of contribution is what turns a network into a community. To share effectively and for mutual benefit, it helps to begin with generosity.
Our work is built on the foundation of our knowledge, our skills, our experiences and our place in the world. Everyone has this foundation to their work and each person's set of capabilities and context is unique. We all have the ability to contribute our attention, capabilities, and context to the work of others.
Contributing generously to others builds our networks into communities. This develops relationships for future collaboration and learning.
We don't need to be interesting to work out loud. We have unique abilities to contribute to others. We need to be interested in others and contribute to their work.
How can you show interest in the work of others? How can you recognise their efforts? How can you share your capabilities and context to advance their work?
Choose someone relevant to your work and make a contribution today.

PROTOCOL FOR OBTAINING A BIOCOMPOSITE FROM COFFEE WASTE GENERATED IN VENECIA (CUNDINAMARCA)
Keywords:coffee processing, green chemistry, systematic review, waste management
The sidewalk of "El Diamante" (Venicia, Cundinamarca), is mainly dedicated to the production of coffee. This activity generates a varied amount of waste, which constitutes a potential source of environmental contamination and a health risk for the population. The aim of this work was to establish, based on a systematic review, a protocol for obtaining a biocomposite from coffee cherry waste generated in the sidewalk of "El Diamante". The protocol was established considering the principles of green chemistry. Initially, a diagnostic visit was made to the area, identifying the inadequate disposal of solid waste generated during coffee processing. The precariousness of housing in the sector was also highlighted. Based on this, a systemic review of scientific literature was carried out, which made it possible to develop an integrated protocol for obtaining the biocomposte. The index of green chemistry estimated for the protocol was 80%, which represents a very good green approach. It is concluded that the established protocol can be a plausible strategy for the use of coffee waste generated, useful for the development of a biocomposite with potential application as concrete reinforcement for the houses of the area, and whose application fulfills most of the green chemistry postulates.

File Conversion WEBM to MOV
Why should I convert WEBM to MOV ?
With the conversion of the file to a different file extension you can use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that WEBM file, when converted to MOV may differ slightly from the original, at least in terms of the data system. The most important information should be stored but if you want that this file after conversion from WEBM to MOV was the same, you need to do it carefully and select the proper application from the list below. There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but will certainly help in this. If, despite that, the effect of converting the WEBM file to MOV does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in the WEBM format, properly converted earlier by someone else to MOV file. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the site.

Other possible WEBM file conversions
If after converting the file WEBM the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of WEBM file to other than MOV. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
What can I also do?
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your WEBM file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to #IS# on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the WEBM file in its original format (without conversion to MOV file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.

18 May COSMO: Crude Oil Stability Model
Select and buy different crude oils on the market remains an effective way to significantly increase the profits of a refinery. Anyhow the blend of crude oils from different sources, due to their characteristics, can lead to significant issues if it is not properly managed. Destabilization of the asphaltenes, for example, can increase the fouling deposition with consequent increase of the energy consumptions and reduction of the unit flow rate. Asphaltenes can also increase the emulsion stability in the desalter, enhancing the corrosion phenomena with relevant safety risks.
Nowadays it's definitely important to predict which will be the effect of new crudes in the usually processed blend. With this objective in mind, CHIMEC developed COSMO (Crude Oil Stability MOdel).
COSMO is a mathematical model able to simulate the non-linear behavior of the feed blending's stability. It can be used to predict and avoid possible side effects in processing new critical crude oils, allowing the refinery to optimize the blend recipe and plan all the actions necessary to process the most convenient crudes without jeopardizing the normal operations.
COSMO allows to plan the proper application of the antifouling technologies maximizing its efficiency and optimizing the treatment cost.

c = hypotenuse
a and b are base and height of the triangle
c^2 = 14^2 + 21^2

Evidence for compromised metabolic function and limited glucose uptake in spermatazoa form the teratospermic domestic cat (Felis catus) and cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)Scientific Papers
Cheetahs and certain other felids consistently ejaculate high proportions (≥ 60%) of malformed spermatozoa, a condition known as teratospermia, which is prevalent in humans. Even seemingly normal spermatozoa from domestic cat teratospermic ejaculates have reduced fertilizing capacity. To understand the role of sperm metabolism in this phenomenon, we conducted a comparative study in the normospermic domestic cat versus the teratospermic cat and cheetah with the general hypothesis that sperm metabolic function is impaired in males producing predominantly pleiomorphic spermatozoa. Washed ejaculates were incubated in chemically defined medium containing glucose and pyruvate. Uptake of glucose and pyruvate and production of lactate were assessed using enzyme-linked fluorescence assays. Spermatozoa from domestic cats and cheetahs exhibited similar metabolic profiles, with minimal glucose metabolism and approximately equimolar rates of pyruvate uptake and lactate production. Compared to normospermic counterparts, pyruvate and lactate metabolism were reduced in teratospermic cat and cheetah ejaculates, even when controlling for sperm motility. Rates of pyruvate and lactate (but not glucose) metabolism were correlated positively with sperm motility, acrosomal integrity, and normal morphology. Collectively, our findings reveal that pyruvate uptake and lactate production are reliable, quantitative indicators of sperm quality in these two felid species and that metabolic function is impaired in teratospermic ejaculates. Furthermore, patterns of substrate utilization are conserved between these species, including the unexpected lack of exogenous glucose metabolism. Because glycolysis is required to support sperm motility and capacitation in certain other mammals (including dogs), the activity of this pathway in felid spermatozoa is a target for future investigation.
