When it comes to tennis equipment, choosing the right racket is crucial. A good racket can help you improve your game, while a bad one can hinder your progress. Among the many factors that determine the quality of this piece of equipment, weight is one of the most important. In this article, we will explore the differences between heavy and light tennis rackets and help you choose the one that is right for your game.
Tennis rackets come in different shapes, sizes, and weights. One of the most important factors to consider when choosing the proper one is its weight.
A heavy unit can provide more power and stability, while a lighter one can offer more speed and maneuverability. In the sections below, we will explore the pros and cons of both types and help you make an informed decision.
Heavy Tennis Racket
Heavy tennis rackets have long been the preferred choice of many professional and advanced players. They are designed to provide maximum power and stability on every shot, allowing players to hit with more pace and depth.
Heavy rackets typically weigh between 11 and 14 ounces and feature larger head sizes that offer a larger sweet spot and more forgiving contact. They also offer better shock absorption, which reduces the risk of injury and fatigue during long matches or training sessions.
One of the key advantages of heavy tennis rackets is their ability to generate power effortlessly. The extra weight of these rackets enables players to hit with more force and momentum, even on shots that require a longer swing or a heavier topspin.
They also offer superior stability and balance, which allows players to maintain their form and technique throughout the match. However, they may require more strength and endurance to wield, especially for players who have a slower swing speed or suffer from arm or shoulder injuries.
When it is all said and done, it is safe to say that heavy tennis rackets are a powerful and reliable choice for players who prioritize power, stability, and consistency on the court.
- More Power: They can generate more power on contact, making it easier to hit winners and put away volleys.
- Stability: Heavy rackets provide more stability and control, making it easier to hit accurate shots and keep the ball in play.
- Larger Sweet Spot: They have larger head sizes, which offer a larger sweet spot, making it easier to hit shots with power and accuracy.
- Reduced Vibration: Heavy rackets offer better shock absorption, reducing the impact on your arm and wrist.
- Less Maneuverability: Heavy rackets can be difficult to maneuver, making it harder to hit shots on the run or react to fast serves.
- More Tiring: These rackets require more effort to swing, which can be tiring over a long match.
- More Difficult to Use: They require a strong swing and good technique, making them more difficult to use for beginners or players with weaker swings.
Light Tennis Racket
Light tennis rackets are generally favored by players who value agility and speed on the court. They are ideal for anyone who prefers a fast-paced game and has a natural swing speed that allows them to generate power without the need for additional weight.
Light rackets are also an excellent option for players who suffer from arm or shoulder injuries and need a more forgiving racket that puts less strain on their joints.
One of the key benefits of light tennis rackets is their maneuverability. Due to their reduced weight, these rackets are easier to swing and adjust during rallies, making them suitable for players who like to mix up their shots and create different angles.
These units also offer more control and precision than heavier models, as they allow players to place the ball with greater accuracy and finesse. However, they may require more effort to generate power and depth, especially on shots that require a longer swing or a heavier topspin.
- More Maneuverability: They are easy to maneuver, making it easier to hit shots on the run or react to fast serves.
- More Speed: Light rackets are easier to swing, which allows you to generate more racket head speed, giving you more power and spin on your shots.
- More Control: These rackets come with smaller head sizes, which offer more control and precision, making it easier to hit accurate shots.
- Less Power: Light rackets generate less power on contact, making it harder to hit winners and put away volleys.
- Less Stability: They offer less stability and control, making it harder to hit accurate shots and keep the ball in play.
Factors to Consider When Choosing between Heavy and Light Tennis Rackets
Ultimately, the choice between a heavy or light tennis racket depends on your playing style, skill level, and physical condition. Here are some factors to consider when making your decision:
1. Playing Style
If you play a baseline game and rely on power shots, a heavy racket may be the better choice. Conversely, if you play a more defensive game and rely on speed and maneuverability, a light racket may be more suitable.
2. Skill Level
If you are a beginner or intermediate player, a lighter racket may be easier to handle and less tiring to use. However, as you progress in skill level and physical condition, you may want to consider transitioning to a heavier racket to gain more power and control.
3. Physical Condition
If you have weak arm or wrist strength or suffer from injuries, a lighter racket may be the safer and more comfortable choice. However, if you have the strength and conditioning to handle a heavier racket, you may benefit from the additional power and stability.
4. Court Surface
The court surface you play on can also affect your choice of racket weight. For example, if you play on a fast court, a heavier racket may help you generate more power and momentum. Conversely, on a slow court, a lighter racket may help you maneuver more easily.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know if a racket is too heavy for me?
A racket may be too heavy for you if you feel fatigued or lose control during matches or if you experience pain or discomfort in your arm or shoulder. You can try different weights and balance points to find the right racket for your level and style of play.
2. Can a heavy racket improve my serve?
Yes, a heavy racket can help you generate more power and control on your serve, especially if you have a strong arm and use a continental grip. However, you should also work on your technique and footwork to maximize your serve effectiveness.
3. Is it better to use a heavy or light tennis racket?
It depends on your playing style and preferences. Heavy rackets provide more power and stability, but they require more effort to swing. Light rackets are easier to maneuver and can help you generate more spin and speed, but they may lack control and stability.
4. Are light rackets more suitable for beginners?
Light rackets can be more forgiving and easier to handle for beginners who are still developing their strokes and coordination. However, they may also promote bad habits and limit your potential in the long run. It's important to find a racket that balances comfort, control, and performance for your level and goals.
5. Can I use a hybrid of heavy and light rackets?
Yes, you can customize your racket setup by combining different weights, strings, grips, and dampeners to suit your needs and preferences. For example, you can use a heavy racket for your groundstrokes and a light racket for your volleys, or vice versa. Just make sure you experiment and practice with your new setup before using it in matches.
Choosing the right tennis racket is crucial for players of all levels and styles. The decision between a heavy and a light one ultimately comes down to personal preference and individual playing style.
While a light racket offers more maneuverability and control, a heavy one provides more power and stability on every shot. Players should consider factors such as their swing speed, physical condition, and playing goals when selecting a tennis racket that fits their needs.
Furthermore, it is important to remember that a tennis racket is just one of many factors that contribute to a successful game. Consistent practice, proper technique, and mental focus are also essential components of a winning strategy.
Ultimately, whether you choose a heavy or light racket, the key to success is to find the one that complements your playing style and helps you achieve your goals on the court. By making an informed decision and putting in the hard work, any player can improve their game and take their tennis skills to the next level.

The ISIE awards committee is very pleased to announce that the 2021 Society Prize of the International Society of Industrial Ecology is awarded to Professor Shinichiro Nakamura of Waseda University in Tokyo for his outstanding contributions for advancing the science of industrial ecology as an interdisciplinary field of research.
Professor Nakamura has led the development and application of the waste input–output (WIO) approach. His unique contribution includes the development of the WIO framework, the compilation of databases, and their application to the evaluation of the environmental and economic aspects of waste management and resource recovery policies. His novel approach has made it possible, for the first time, to analyse the generation, treatment, and recycling of waste and by-products in an integrated economy-wide framework. In doing so he moved the focus from an end-of-life perspective of waste management to a whole of supply chain perspective encouraging sustainable materials management. This has innovated the way in which businesses and policy makers are conceptualizing materials management and has spearheaded circular economy thinking.
Professor Nakamura has also contributed to the development of material flow accounting and analysis as a tool for policy. He developed novel methodologies and was able to demonstrate their practical usefulness. Designing a dynamic MFA model enabled tracing the fate of materials across regions over time in open-loop recycling, with explicit consideration of the quality of recovered scrap and produced material in terms of their elemental composition. Applying this to metals has created a knowledge base for the promotion of urban mining and advanced recycling.
In addition to his scientific innovations Professor Nakamura has been a pioneer of industrial ecology education in Japan and globally. He established industrial ecology courses at the Faculty of Political Science and Economics at Waseda University in 2011 which was one of the first industrial ecology courses in Japan. Using the opportunity of the European Union's Erasmus Mundus Master's Programme he contributed to the global reach of industrial ecology education. His devotion to the science and teaching of industrial ecology was also mired by his service to the scientific community as a conference chair and associated editor of the Journal of Industrial Ecology.
We congratulate Professor Nakamura to his achievements advancing industrial ecology and invite you to attend the Society Prize Lecture on 3 November 2021 offering an opportunity to celebrate the awardee and to jointly reflect on his scientific journey.

Cobalt electrodeposits have been produced in chloride solutions. Depending on the electrolysis parameters applied, two different structures for the electrodeposits, namely α and β cobalt were observed. Their characterization included hydrogen content measurement, the relative volume fraction of the α and β phases determined by X-ray diffraction, X-ray diffraction line profile analysis and microstructural investigation by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The influence of structure on mechanical properties was examined. The results showed that the ductility properties of the cobalt electrodeposits were highly sensitive to the structure. A higher β phase content that was measured in some deposits did not improve the ductility due to the existence of trapped hydrogen which always exists in such deposits. However, annealing treatments seem to be a promising route to optimize the ductility of cobalt electrodeposits.


What Is a Security Deposit?
Learn the basics of a security deposit, the purpose it serves before tenant moves in, and if there are any state laws regarding security deposits protecting landlords and tenants.
What is a security deposit?
A security deposit is a sum of money that landlords require tenants to pay before they move in; the purpose is to have a financial backup if a tenant fails to pay rent or damages the rental property. Most states set a dollar limit, such as one or two months' rent, on how much a landlord can collect as a deposit. States typically require landlords to return the deposit by a specified deadline after a tenant moves out, along with an itemization of deposit deductions for unpaid rent or the cost of repairing damages to the rental unit. A tenant may not use a security deposit as last month's rent, unless the landlord agrees or the lease or rental agreement states that the deposit may be used this way. Finally, a deposit is typically refundable; in fact, some states, such as California, specifically prohibit landlords from charging nonrefundable fees, while others, including Arizona, allow certain types of nonrefundable fees, such as for cleaning or pets.

This article demonstrates how to run a tower scan in a PMP 450 deployment.
Support team requests to provide spectrum analyzer results to investigate issues like degraded performance, slow speeds, and link drop to name a few. This purpose is to understand if the source of interference impacts the uplink or downlink.
Solution: Run a Tower scan
Every transmitter displays the transmission properties as displayed below:
Let us consider a 360-degree tower with four 90-degree sectors using ABAB channel reuse.
In this case, when the spectrum analysis is started on one sector the remaining 3 sectors will continue to transmit. The resulting analysis would display skewed results.
Here is a sample of spectrum analysis run individually vs simultaneously (both scans are from the same tower):
Individual scans run at different times.
Simultaneous scans: We can observe lower noise levels in this scan compared individual scans shown in the previous image.
The scans above are a clear indication of the accuracy of the results when individually vs run simultaneously. Hence, performing a tower scan when troubleshooting interference is always suggested.
To perform the tower scan, login to all the involved APs through the web browser, set the display to Averaging, set min and max to full scan, scan duration to 180 seconds, and click on start timed spectrum analysis.

Mining Publication: Injury Analysis of Pennsylvania Small Surface Coal Mines
This paper is a descriptive analysis of injuries and fatalities at small surface bituminous coal mining companies in Pennsylvania. The purpose of analyzing a specific industry sector and location is to identify issues that might be missed in a wider analysis. Other studies of small mine safety (e.g., Peters and Fotta, 1994, Randolph and Boldt, 1997) have shown that the relationship between safety and mine size is not a simple one. Some injury types occur at higher rates at small mines, while others occur at lower rates. Consequently, an analysis limited to a specific type of mining can help identify hazards and issues specific to that sector. The results of this analysis will be useful for directing training, intervention, and research efforts towards the most prevalent causal factors and incident types.

I am new to Solidity, and have a question, that may sound silly, but I can't really figure it out. So, I have this simple function:
function uintTest(uint256 n) returns (uint256) {
 return n;
I thought, the max value for uint256 is 2**256, however, the function does not work for input numbers that have more than 16 digits, and in Remix, throws an "assertion failed" error. I can't understand why.
The max value is 2^256-1. The assertion you're hitting is in Remix. The full error message is:
Error encoding arguments: Error: Assertion failed
The issue is that Remix uses JSON to parse the argument list, and JavaScript only supports numbers up to 2^53-1. The reason you're seeing the issue where you do in terms of number of 9s is because
999999999999999 < 2**53-1 < 9999999999999999
To fix the issue, just put double quotes around the number you're passing in. It's safe to just always wrap your numbers in quotes to avoid such precision issues.
The reason 2^256 is not the correct number is that one of the possible values needs to be reserved for the zero value.
Imagine a 2 bit number - the max value is not 2^2 (= four) but rather 2^2-1 (= three). Brute forcing it:
00 = zero 01 = one 10 = two 11 = three
There are no more possible combinations of 2 bits - so there's no way to express the number four.

text: We studied 39 blind painful eyes in 39 patients who were treated with retrobulbar injection of absolute (96%) alcohol for their severe ocular pain at the King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital from January 1984 to January 1987. There were 21 (54%) male and 18 (46%) female patients; all were followed for at least three months. The protracted ocular pain was mainly due to: end-stage (absolute) glaucoma in 31 (80%) eyes, uveitis or endophthalmitis in four (10%) eyes, or corneal ulcer in two (5%) eyes. One eye had painful phthisis bulbi, and one eye had infraorbital neuralgia. The complications encountered were transient and included blepharoptosis in eight (21%) eyes, external ophthalmoplegia, and corneal epithelial defect. The effective time of the injection to relieve pain ranged from two weeks to two years (mean, 29 weeks). The authors believe that there is still a place for retrobulbar alcohol injection for blind painful eyes when enucleation or evisceration is not possible.

This topic describes how to customize and extend the search in Episerver Commerce by for instance adding index fields and creating new search indexers for specific purposes. See also Creating a Search Provider.
Classes in this topic are available in the following namespaces:
Adding index fields
The process of adding a new field can differ depending on the provider you use and where the data is coming from. Here, we explain the steps for adding a field for the catalog index using Lucene and SOLR providers.
When using Lucene, if you want to add a meta-field to be searchable, go to the meta-field configuration in Commerce Manager and mark it as searchable; the field is automatically added to the index.
When using SOLR, add that field to the SOLR configuration file, which is located in APACHERROOT\solr\catalog\conf\catalog.schema.xml.
Example: adding an index field to the SOLR Schema
<field name="MyNewField" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" />
To add a field programmatically in the case when data comes from an external data source or needs to be computed, create a new class that inherits the existing CatalogIndexer.
Example: adding a custom index class
C#
public class MyCatalogIndexer : Mediachase.Search.Extensions.Indexers.CatalogIndexBuilder
{
/// <summary>
/// Called when catalog entry is indexed. Override this method to add some extra fields.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="document">The document.</param>
/// <param name="entry">The entry.</param>
/// <param name="language"></param>
protected override void OnCatalogEntryIndex(ref SearchDocument document, CatalogEntryDto.CatalogEntryRow entry, string language)
 {
 // Example, add all apple products as featured
 if(entry.Name.Contains("apple"))
 document.Add(new SearchField("featured", true));
 base.OnCatalogEntryIndex(ref document, entry, language);
 }
}
Creating a search indexer
Search Indexer is a component that is responsible for assembling data into documents that Search Provider can then index. It typically connects subsystems like Catalogs, gets a list of changes and submits it to the search provider.
By default Episerver Commerce indexes catalog data via the the BaseCatalogIndexBuilder class or an inheriting class. However, third party implementations may implement ISearchIndexBuilder instead of extending the BaseCatalogIndexBuilder.
C#
/// <summary>
/// Search Index Builder Interface.
/// </summary>
public interface ISearchIndexBuilder
{
 /// <summary>
 /// An event handler for progress message events.
 /// </summary>
 event SearchIndexHandler SearchIndexMessage;
 /// <summary>
 /// Gets or sets the manager.
 /// </summary>
 /// <value>The manager.</value>
 SearchManager Manager { get; set; }
 /// <summary>
 /// Gets or sets the build indexer.
 /// </summary>
 /// <value>The build indexer.</value>
 IndexBuilder Indexer { get; set; }
 /// <summary>
 /// Builds the index.
 /// </summary>
 /// <param name="rebuild">if set to <c>true</c> the full rebuild will be done, if not. The last build date will be used.</param>
 void BuildIndex(bool rebuild);
 /// <summary>
 /// Updates the specified items in the index.
 /// </summary>
 /// <param name="itemIds">The ids of the items to update.</param>
 /// <returns>True if successful; otherwise, false.</returns>
 bool UpdateIndex(IEnumerable<int> itemIds);
}
The updated catalog event system uses the UpdateIndex method and calls it for any changed or deleted catalog entries. The parameter enumerates catalog entry IDs of changed or delete entries, and the implementation is expected to update the search indexes appropriately for these entries.
If a transient error occurs (such as a network error when accessing a remote service), UpdateIndex should return false. The system may then retry the same batch of updates again later. If a non-transient error occurs, then the implementation should throw an exception.
An implementation of ISearchIndexBuilder should throw an exception from UpdateIndex if the updated event system is not supported, and scheduled tasks is used to execute BuildIndex.

There was a Tree
This charming book is based on the folk song "The Green Grass Grew All Around", a cumulative song that grows longer and longer with multiple verses. The book starts with a hole in the ground which grows a tree, which has a branch, and so on, with "the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around" ending every verse. Isadora uses rebuses to allow children to help read the story, similar to "The Jacket I Wear in the Snow", by Shirley Neitzel. The beautiful and creative illustrations were created using oil paints, printed paper, and palette paper. At the end of the book is the music for anyone who is not familiar with the song. Highly recommended for preschool through 2nd grade.

A Tale of Two Views
By Gene McCullagh
August 18, 2010
The Library module is a powerhouse of organization tools. You can view many images, a few, or one. Zoom in for fine details. Add star ratings. Add color labels. Change landscape to portrait and back again! The list goes on and on.
There is one small problem, however. Many new Lightroom users can be confused by Lightroom's reaction to some of their actions. Some seasoned users even get confused on occasion. Here's a typical question I get asked; "I select several images and press 4 to add a 4 star rating. Why does this sometimes add the rating to all the images selected and other times only to my active image?"
The answer lies in the difference between how the Grid view and the Loupe view treat these actions. Although they are both part of the Library module they serve very different purposes. You can think of the grid view like a lawn sprinkler, it gets everything wet. Loupe view is more like a water gun, you aim it at something and only it gets wet. (It's a weak analogy, I know. But hang in there.)
First, let's talk a little about terms. Take a look at this screenshot from the Library module.
This is the grid view. You can see that the border area around the images appears in different shades of gray. Dark gray indicates that the image is unselected. Light gray means the image is selected. When multiple images are selected then the active image is indicated by the lightest gray border. This same scheme is reflected in the filmstrip at the bottom of the window.
You can switch between grid and loupe by clicking on one of the first two icons on the toolbar. You can also use the keyboard shortcuts of G for grid and E for loupe. When you switch to loupe view it is the active image that will appear.
Back to the original question. So why does pressing 4 sometimes add a 4 star rating to all the selected images and at other times only to the active image? The answer lies in how these two views approach organizational tools. Grid works on the entire group while loupe plays favorites with the active image. This behavior applies to nearly everything you do in the Library module. So if I'm in grid view with several images selected and press 5 they ALL get 5 stars.
But in loupe view only the active image gets the rating.
This behavior is consistent with all of the organizational tools; keywords, color labels, flags, virtual copies, metadata, etc.. If you glance over at the metadata panel while in grid view you can see that Lightroom puts a placeholder in some fields that are different across the images selected.
So, for example, if the Rights Usage Terms are not the same for all the selected images you will see in that field. As soon as you switch to loupe view the panel changes to show only the metadata for the active image (no matter how many are in the selection).
Even the left and right arrow keys respond differently. While in loupe view the left and right arrow keys will cycle through the selected group and make each image in turn the active image. In grid view pressing the right arrow key will jump you to the first image AFTER the selected group.
The big exception to all of this is the develop tools found in the Library module. And this too makes sense since these tools aren't organizational by nature and are really part of the Develop module. They're in the Library module as a convenience.
So whether you are in grid or loupe view, increasing exposure will only effect the active image. Likewise, pressing V will only convert the active image to black & white.
Once you get this difference into your head then the confusion will be gone and you can zip through your shoots like an organizational superhero!

How can I switch between combs?
Be certain the clipper is in the OFF position.
 1. Select the comb attachment depending on the desired hair length. In the attached file you can find the settings and remaining hair lengths. The remaining hair length is also indicated on each comb.
 2. Slide the selected comb into the guiding grooves on both sides of the Clipper swivel head and push until you hear it click' into place (fig. 1). Make sure the comb attachment locks properly into position.
 3. Turn the Hair Length Setting Adjustment Ring to set the comb to the desired setting (fig. 2). Do not turn the length setting adjustment ring beyond the highest hair length setting.
 4. The arrowhead on the Clipper indicates which setting has been selected.
When you are clipping for the first time, start at the maximum clipping length setting (#5) of the regular comb to familiarize yourself with
the appliance and prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you become familiar with the settings, adjust the Hair Length Selector to desired trimming length.

This depends very much on the type of application you run. If you've got applications which are very trigger-happy WRT syscalls you can expect to see high amounts of context switching. If most of your applications idle around and only wake up when there's stuff happening on a socket, you can expect to see low context switch rates.
System calls cause context switches by their very own nature. When a process does a system call, it basically tells the kernel to take over from it's current point in time and memory to do stuff the process isn't privileged to do, and return to the same spot when it's done.
When we look at the definition of the write(2) syscall from Linux, this becomes very clear:
write - write to a file descriptor
ssize_t write(int fd, const void *buf, size_t count);
write() writes up to count bytes from the buffer pointed buf to the file
referred to by the file descriptor fd. [..]
On success, the number of bytes written is returned (zero indicates
nothing was written). On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set
This basically tells the kernel to take over operation from the process, move up to
count bytes, starting from the memory address pointed at by
*buf to file descriptor
fd of the current process and then return back to the process and tell him how it went.
A nice example to show this is the dedicated game server for Valve Source based games, hlds. _URL_ shows one second worth of syscalls done by a single instance of a game server which had no players on it. This process takes about 3% CPU time on a Xeon X3220 (2.4Ghz), just to give you a feeling for how expensive this is.
Another source of context switching might be processes which don't do syscalls, but need to get moved off a given CPU to make room for other processes.
A nice way to visualize this is cpuburn. cpuburn doesn't do any syscalls itself, it just iterates over it's own memory, so it shouldn't cause any context switching.
Take an idle machine, start vmstat and then run a burnMMX (or any different test from the cpuburn package) for every CPU core the system has. You should have full system utilization by then but hardly any increased context switching. Then try to start a few more processes. You'll see that the context switching rate increases as the processes begin to compete over CPU cores. The amount of switching depends on the processes/core ratio and the multitasking resolution of your kernel.
linfo.org has a nice writeup on what context switches and system calls are. Wikipedia has generic information and a nice link collection on System calls.


Index - 1, emptyFieldsExistAfterCurrent { // 2
 textField.returnKeyType = .next
 }
 else { // 3
 textField.returnKeyType = .done
 }
 }
}
As before, we save the textFields array in a local constant (1) and we bail out if we can't find the index of the passed in textField (2).
We then have a decision to make:
 - If we're not on the last textField and we have empty fields after the current, the return key should be .next (2).
 - If we're on the last textField, or all fields after the current one are filled, the return key should be .done (3).
Lastly, the logic for tapping on the Next/Return key is slightly trickier and we'll finally see why we used an ArraySlice above:
extension NextTextFieldHandler {
 func handleReturnKeyTapped(on textField: UITextField) {
 let textFields = self.textFields // 1
 guard let currentIndex = textFields.index(of: textField) else { return } // 2
 let fieldsAfterCurrent = fields(after: textField) // 3
 let nextEmptyIndex = fieldsAfterCurrent
 .firstIndex { $0.text?.isEmpty != false } // 4
 ?? textFields.index(currentIndex, offsetBy: 1, limitedBy: textFields.endIndex - 1) // 5
 ?? textFields.endIndex - 1 // 6
 let emptyFieldsExistAfterCurrent = emptyFieldsExist(after: textField)
 if currentIndex == textFields.endIndex - 1 || !emptyFieldsExistAfterCurrent { // 7
 textField.resignFirstResponder()
 }
 else { // 8
 textFields[nextEmptyIndex].becomeFirstResponder()
 }
 }
}
As always, we first save the textFields array in a local constant (1) and we bail out if we can't find the index of the passed in textField (2). We then get the next fields after the one passed in as a slice (3) and find the index of the first empty field (4), falling back to the next text field if that fails (5), falling back yet again on the last text field if that also fails (6).
We now have another decision to make:
 - If we're on the last textField or all fields after the current one are filled, resign first responder (7).
 - If we're not on the last textField and we have empty fields after the current one, focus the first empty textField after the current one (8).
And here's where we need the ArraySlice. Let's take the previous example to go through it:
 - textFields = [field1, field2, field3, field4].
 - We're on field1, and the first empty text field is field3, which has an index of 2.
 - fields(after: field1) return [field2, field3, field4] with indices [1, 2, 3].
 - firstIndex { $0.text?.isEmpty != false } (4) would return index 2, as it should.
 - textFields[nextEmptyIndex].becomeFirstResponder() will focus the correct field, field3.
If we wouldn't use a slice, fields(after: field) would still return field2, field3, field4], but with indices [0, 1, 2]. Also, we don't use filter inside fields(after:), because that would reset the indices, making them start from 0.
If we wouldn't use a slice, we could also find field3 by using first { $0.text?.isEmpty != false } at (4), then we'd find its index by calling textFields.index(of: nextField), but I think a slice is slightly better since we can write easier fallbacks (5, 6).
How do we use it? Quite simple, actually:
extension LoginViewController: UITextFieldDelegate, NextTextFieldHandler {
 var textFields: [UITextField] { // 1
 return aStackView.arrangedSubviews
 .compactMap { $0 as? UITextField }
 .filter { !$0.isHidden && $0.alpha != 0 && $0.isEnabled } // 2
 /* 3
 if mode == .login {
 return [emailTextField, passwordTextField]
 }
 else {
 return [nameTextField, emailTextField, passwordTextField]
 }
 */
 }
 func textFieldShouldBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
 setupReturnKeyType(for: textField) // 4
 return true
 }
 func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
 handleReturnKeyTapped(on: textField) // 5
 return true
 }
}
First, we setup the textFields we need (1). We extract all the text fields from our imaginary UIStackView (2) (or return them manually — 3), then call setupReturnKeyType(for:) from textFieldShouldBeginEditing(:_) (4) and handleReturnKeyTapped(on:) from textFieldShouldReturn(:_) (5).
As always, I'd love to know what you think, or if anything can be improved @rolandleth.

_URL_ Increasing the tap area of a UIButton 2018-09-09T16:08 2018-09-09T16:08 Roland Leth _URL_ The other day, Soroush wrote a great post about hitTest(_:with:) (you should check it out), which reminded me of a problem I solved the other week: I wanted to increase a UIButton's tap area, without increasing the button's frame.
The following code would go in one of the button's superviews; for example, you might have a mainContainer, which has a UIStackView that contains the button — we'd implement it in mainContainer:
override func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, with event: UIEvent?) -> UIView? {
 let biggerButtonFrame = theButton.frame.insetBy(dx: -30, dy: -30) // 1
 if biggerButtonFrame.contains(point) { // 2
 return theButton // 3
 }
 return super.hitTest(point, with: event) // 4
}
We first create a rect that is 30px larger than our button, both horizontally and vertically (1) and we check if it contains the point (2): if it does, we return the button (3), otherwise we fallback to super (4). At (1) we might need to convert between coordinate systems and at (2) we might also want to check if the button is enabled and visible, if it can have different states.
If you google increase uibutton tap area, you'll get quite a few results, mentioning either increasing imageEdgeInsets/titleEdgeInsets (not quite what we want), or using pointInside(point:with:). The approach of the latter is basically the same as we saw above, just that the implementation is done on the button itself, not in one of its superviews:
override func point(inside point: CGPoint, with event: UIEvent?) -> Bool {
 let biggerFrame = bounds.insetBy(dx: -30, dy: -30)
 return biggerFrame.contains(point)
}
Sometimes, a button might be part of a view controller's view, or used as a customView for a UIBarButtonItem, in which case we don't have access to the implementation of the superview, so we need to use this approach.
At some point, I didn't really want to write this post anymore, seeing so much information about this dating back to 2010, but, in the end, I think that any knowledge shared is better than kept.
How did I used to do it? By creating a UILabel/UIImageView with the required info and adding a bigger button on top 🤷🏻♂😳.

1Minimally Invasive Urology Institute, The Miriam Hospital; The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, RI, USA, 2Minimally Invasive Urology Institute, The Miriam Hospital, Providence, RI, USA.
Background: Poor fluid intake and associated low urine volume (<2 L) on 24-hour urine collection are known risk factors for nephrolithiasis. Kidney stone risk is higher in certain demographics, and low 24-hour urine volumes have been associated with certain socioeconomic status such as low-income. We aimed to compare 24-hour urine volumes amongst high-risk stone formers followed in a multidisciplinary stone clinic (MSC) where patients are seen by urologists, nephrologists, and dietitians in one patient encounter.
Methods: A retrospective review of patient records at a single academic medical center MSC was conducted. Patient demographics (race/ethnicity, gender assigned at birth, insurance status, and religious status) and 24-hour urinary volume were collected. Urine volumes of patients who completed multiple 24-hour urine collections were averaged to produce one mean urine volume per patient. T-tests and ANOVA were used for statistical analysis to assess for differences between groups.
Results: A total of 117 patients were included in the analysis with an overall mean 24-hour urine volume of 1,980+-684 mL. No significant difference was detected between white and non-white patients (1,893+-754 mL versus 1,977+-671 mL respectively, p=0.645) and between female and male patients (1,917+-757 mL vs 2,019+-577 mL respectively, p=0.409). Patients with Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance had similar urine volumes (1,851+-562 mL vs 1,882+-673 mL vs 2,018+-713 mL respectively, F(2,114)=0.641, p=0.529). Christian, Jewish, and non-religious groups had similar urine volumes (1,974+-667 mL vs 2,082+-675 mL vs 1,811+-873 mL respectively, F(2,114)=0.327, p=0.722).
Conclusions: There were no significant differences in 24-hour urine volume among patients from different socioeconomic status related to race/ethnicity, gender assigned at birth, insurance, and religion. Although previous studies suggest an increased risk for kidney stones in certain demographics, this study demonstrates that an MSC model may optimize the patients' risk factors for stone formation irrespective of their socioeconomic status. Thus, clinicians should consider the potential benefit of a multidisciplinary approach in stone formers across all social determinants of health. Further investigations are necessary to characterize the impact of MSC in different populations.

Why does chocolate make you thirsty?
Chocolate makes us crave water!
Why is that?
Chocolate contains caffeine and phenylethylamine PEA.
Caffeine stimulates our nervous system while PEA causes us to feel happy.
When we eat chocolate, these chemicals stimulate our brain's reward center, making us want to drink water.
1 Caffeine and PEA cause us to crave water because they activate the same part of the brain that controls thirst.
This explains why chocolate makes us thirsty.
Why does chocolate make you thirsty?
Chocolate contains caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system. This leads to increased blood flow to the brain, which results in increased thirst. Chocolate also contains phenylethylamine PEA, which is a chemical released into the bloodstream during exercise. PEA acts as a stimulant, causing people to feel hungry and thirsty after eating chocolate.
What is osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of higher concentration to a lower concentration. It occurs naturally in plants and animals, but can also occur artificially. Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a semipermeable membrane from a solution of greater solute concentration saltwater to a solution of lesser solute concentration fresh water. In nature, osmosis is used by plants to absorb water from the soil and release it into the atmosphere. For example, when a plant roots in the ground, it pulls water molecules from the soil and releases them into the air. This allows the plant to take in water from the atmosphere and release oxygen into the air.
Other FAQs about Chocolate which you may be interested in.
Chocolate is a type of confectionery made primarily from cocoa beans. Cocoa butter is extracted from the beans and mixed with sugar and other ingredients to form a paste called chocolate liquor. The liquor is then heated until it melts and becomes liquid. The resulting mixture is poured onto molds to cool and harden. After cooling, the hardened chocolate is broken into pieces and packaged.
How much time does it take for the chocolate to make you thirsty?
It takes between 5-10 minutes for the chocolate to start making you thirsty. It depends on how strong the chocolate is. Stronger chocolates tend to make people thirsty faster.
Other potential reasons for chocolate to make you thirsty
Chocolate contains caffeine, which is a stimulant. Caffeine stimulates the nervous system and causes the body to release adrenaline, which triggers thirst. Chocolate also contains theobromine, which is a mild diuretic. This causes the kidneys to excrete more urine, which leads to dehydration.
[su_youtube_advanced url = "_URL_ controls = "no" rel = "no" fs = "no" modestbranding = "yes"]
Does chocolate make you thirsty?
It is because of dehydration. Dehydration occurs when your body doesn't get enough fluids. This happens when you lose a lot of liquids from your body. It's important to stay hydrated throughout the day. Drink plenty of water, especially if you're exercising.
What does it mean when you are thirsty all the time?
Water, milk, coffee, tea, soda, alcohol, and juices are among the drinks that make us thirstier. Water is the best drink to quench our thirst. Milk is good for children and adults who are lactose intolerant. Coffee is great for people who are tired and need energy boost. Soda is very bad for health. Alcohol is not recommended for pregnant women. Juices are healthy and nutritious. But, we should avoid drinking fruit juice during summer season as it is very hot outside.
Does chocolate dehydrate you?
Yes, chocolate does dehydrate you. Chocolate contains caffeine, which stimulates your nervous system and raises your blood pressure. It also has phenylethylamine PEA, which acts as a stimulatory agent. PEA is found in the brain and other organs of the body. Chocolate contains theobromine which is similar to caffeine, but is weaker. Thebromine is used in medications because it helps relax muscle spasms. However, theobromaine is toxic if consumed in large quantities.
Why am I always thirsty no matter what?
Chocolate contains caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system and raises blood pressure. It also contains phenylethylamine PEA, which acts as a stimulant. PEA is found naturally in the brain and other parts of the body. Chocolate also contains theobromine, which is similar to caffeine but is weaker. Theobromine is used in many medications because it helps relax muscles. However, theobromine is toxic if taken in large amounts.
What foods make you more thirsty?
It means that your body needs more fluids. Your kidneys are working overtime to filter waste from your bloodstream and remove toxins. This process requires lots of energy. As a result, your body is not getting enough oxygen to function properly. To compensate for this problem, your body sends signals to your mouth to drink more liquids.
Does chocolate make you dehydrated?
Yes, chocolate does make you thirsty. Chocolate contains caffeine, which stimulates your body's thirst center. It also contains phenylethylamine PEA, which is a chemical compound found naturally in the brain. PEA is released during stress and excitement, and it helps increase blood flow to the brain. In addition, chocolate contains theobromine, which is a stimulant similar to caffeine. Theobromine also affects the release of adrenaline, which increases heart rate and blood pressure.
What foods cause you to be thirsty?
Foods that are rich in carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, cereals, and sweets, cause us to become dehydrated because these foods take a long time to digest. This leads to our bodies having to drink more fluids to process the food we eat. Foods that are low in carbohydrates, like lean meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, cause us to feel full and satisfied after eating. These foods are digested quickly, leaving us feeling fuller for longer.
Ultimately, eating more chocolate may leave you feeling more energetic, but overall you will not be more hydrated overall.

Police vs Private Investigations: What is the Difference?
Police and private investigation services may seem similar on the surface, but there are several key differences which influence the two roles and impact their scope of delivery.
The first, most identifiable difference, is legal authority. Police officials have the legal authority to detain witnesses and compel testimony, whereas private investigators are not law enforcement professionals. Therefore, private investigators are forced to get creative in their meticulous investigative techniques in order to gather information that can offer their clients sufficient evidence to support or disprove their claims.
Scope of Services
Generally speaking, police investigation services are limited to offences that are identified as crimes in South Africa. This means that private investigators are able to work on a broader scope of services, such as:
- Domestic/matrimonial investigations
- Investigations into individual activity
- Evidence gathering for adultery/infidelity suits
- Substance abuse suspicions
The South African Police Department is limited to an annual, tax-funded budget. This unfortunately means that some cases are not given the required resources needed to solve the case. The amount of cases also plays a big role, as there is often not enough time to be dedicated to individual cases. Private investigators, however, are paid by their clients. This gives them the opportunity to dedicate much-required resources and time in order to handle and solve each and every investigation.
Look no further than D&K Investigations and Risk Consultancy for all your private investigative needs. We provide a specialised range of investigation solutions to help you get the results you need, with zero limitations.


the bound value. This code seems like too much for such a simple thing. So I thought about writing this post to share a simple solution to do the same.

As a matter of fact, the solution is not special to a WPF project. This can be used to format numeric values even in a non-WPF based applications. The idea is to use custom numeric formatting based on section separators.

Let's create a WPF project. We add a ViewModel to the project MainViewModel. It just has a property NumericProperty. The property is of integer type backed by an integer field.

How do you heat momos in microwave?
Microwave: Sprinkle momos with water. Keep lid on, and microwave on full power for 2 minutes. Take care when removing the lid for steam escaping. Ensure momos are piping hot inside.
How do you steam momos in a convection microwave?
Place the momos in a lightly oiled microwave steamer, allowing space between them to prevent touching and sticking. Fill the steamer with water as directed in your steamer's instructions and steam the momos for three minutes in your microwave.
How do you cook frozen momos without a steamer?
* Add some water, bring to a boil, then lower to a medium simmer. * Rub a little sesame oil on the plate, then place momos on top of it. Cover the pot with a lid. * Let them steam for 7-8 minutes or until cooked through.
How do you know when momos are cooked?
- Lift the lid and check the steam, if its dry, momos are done … if its wet then they aren't.
- Take the lid of and touch one of the momos with your fingertips.. if its sticky, it still needs steaming – if its not, then it should be done.
Can I microwave dumplings?
Place frozen dumplings in a microwave safe bowl. Fill the bowl with hot tap water so dumplings are completely covered with water. Cover the bowl and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes for up to 10 dumplings. If the dumplings are floating in the water, they're cooked.
Can you pan fry frozen momos?
Pan frying is another way to get a great texture on your dumplings. Heat a pan on medium-high with a couple tablespoons of oil in it. Once hot, add your frozen dumplings. Cook in oil for about three to four minutes, turning once to sear multiple sides.
How do you heat momos in the oven?
Reheating Dumplings In An Oven
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven to 390 °F. You first need to preheat the oven well before putting dumplings in it.
- Step 2: Arrange the Dumplings in the Oven. It would be best to avoid the pan altogether and place the foil directly on the oven racks.

How long should frozen momos be steamed?
Frozen momos should be kept in your freezer at -18C or colder. There is no need to defrost, simply, when the steamer water is boiling, steam the frozen momos by placing them on an oiled steamer tray and steam over full boil for 15 minutes or til steamy hot inside.
How do you steam microwave?
If you're using bigger veggies or a mixture of different types, cut them into manageable pieces of roughly the same size. Place them into a microwave-safe dish. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water (a little more if you're steaming multiple portions). Place in the microwave and pop a lid on top to keep the steam in.
How can I heat momos without microwave?
In brief: you will need a flat-bottomed pan (not a wok) with a lid if sorts to cover. If your pan is non-stick, you will not need to add any oil. If you dont trust it, drop in a little olive oil. Either way, fry the momos on a low-medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.
Are momos healthy to eat?
We all love momos, but did you know that they are harmful for our health? These round soft dough balls are filled with juicy veg or non-veg stuffings and are served with a spicy dip. They are the delight of all street food lovers. But momos are dangerous for health and can cause long-term damages to the body.
Why is my Momo so hard?
Momos that are fully cooked will get a glow or a sheen of water on them. The white flour outer covering should not feel sticky and look a little transparent. The filling may actually start to show on the thinner edges. The covering also starts to get hard and rubbery very soon.
Can dumplings be overcooked?
Do not overcook your dumplings. They may disintegrate if left to cook too long.

text: Head motion during Computed Tomographic (CT) brain imaging studies can adversely affect the reconstructed image through distortion, loss of resolution and other related artifacts. In this paper, we propose a marker based innovative approach to detect and mitigate motion artifacts in three dimensional cone-beam brain CT systems without using any external motion tracking sensor. Motion is detected using correlations between the adjacent projections. Once motion is detected, motion parameters ( i.e. six degrees-of-freedom of motions) are estimated using a numerical optimization technique. Artifacts, caused by motions, are mitigated by using a modified form Feldkemp-Davis-Kress (FDK) algorithm which uses the estimated motion parameters in back-projection stage. The proposed approach has been evaluated on a modified three-dimensional Shepp-Logan phantom with a range of simulated motions. Simulation results demonstrate a quantitative and qualitative validation of motion detection and artifacts mitigation technique.

Simulation of fluid velocity distribution inside the condenser waterbox of a power plant
conference contributionposted on 2017-12-06, 00:00 authored by L Brown, B Hayden, Mohammad RasulMohammad Rasul
The cleaning of heat exchanging units is of a major concern for steam power plant. It has been proposed by the plant authority to install an on-line cleaning system at Callide Power Station located near Biloela, Queensland, Australia, on the steam condensing electrical generation units. The condenser is fitted with a waterbox to distribute the cooling water internally throughout. The cleaning system may incorporate the cycling of sponge balls throughout the cooling water circuit of the condenser, which through their abrasive action remove fouling. To predict the potential effectiveness of this cleaning system, it is important to determine the distribution of balls, i.e. the distribution of fluid velocity throughout the condenser tube systems is uniform and even. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model is developed in this study in order to simulate and evaluate the fluid velocity distribution inside the condenser waterbox. The simulation results are presented and discussed, so that plant authority can realize the implementation of this cleaning system.

React-Native – Citibikes app
Navigation in React-Native (Tab and Stack base Navigation)
Objectives
We have seen navigation in React Native via the navigation stack, namely createStackNavigator. For a review on how it works see createStackNavigator.
Today we will be building upon this knowledge to create a Tab based navigation hierarchy.
createBottomTabNavigator
A simple tab bar on the bottom of the screen that lets you switch between different routes. Routes are lazily initialized — their screen components are not mounted until they are first focused.
export default createBottomTabNavigator({
 Home: HomeScreen,
 Settings: SettingsScreen,
})
The app we will be building is a Citibikes app. The app will use the citibikes api to get bike station information along with real-time data on the availability of bikes at a Station.
Endpoints
Bike Station Information: _URL_
Real time status on bike availability: _URL_
CitiBikeAPI.js
The CitiBikeAPI has two functions one fetches the bike station infomation from Citibike API. In the for..in statement we construct a station object which will hold a coordinate object needed by the MapView's Marker component and the bike station object.
The bikeStationStatus fetches the real time bike status information from Citibike API.
Complete Implementation
export function bikeStationInformation() {
 return fetch('_URL_
 .then(response => response.json())
 .then(jsonData => {
 const data = jsonData['data']
 const results = data['stations']
 let objects = []

 for(let index in results) {
 let object = {
 station: results[index],
 coordinate: {
 latitude: results[index].lat,
 longitude: results[index].lon,
 }
 }
 objects.push(object)
 }
 return objects
 })
 .catch(err => console.error(err))
}
export function bikeStationStatus() {
 return fetch('_URL_
 .then(response => response.json())
 .then(jsonData => {
 const data = jsonData['data']
 const stationsStatus = data['stations']
 return stationsStatus
 })
 .catch(err => console.error(err))
}
App.js
In App.js the RootStack is setting up a Tab Bar Style Architecture. The List route holds a ListStack object which itself is a Navigation Stack. There are two tab routes: the List tab bar and the Map tab bar.
Imports being used here are createStackNavigator and createBottomTabNavigator from the third party library, react-navigation. For the tab bar icons we use Ionicons from the react-native-vector-icons library. We import our own custom function from the CitiBikeAPI.js, namely the bikeStationInformation and bikeStationStatus functions. The are three routes (screens) in our app.
 - BikeStationsListScreen: the first tab bar which consist of a FlatList of station items
 - BikeStationsMapScreen: the second tab bar which is a MapView with station annotations
 - StationDetailsScreen: shows a MapView with a Marker of the selected station

High resolution three-dimensional surface images of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) can be obtained by field emission scanning electron microscopy. We present a short retrospective view starting from the early roots of microscopy, through the discovery of the cell nucleus and the development of some modern techniques for sample preparation and imaging. Detailed protocols are presented for assembling anchored nuclei in a Xenopus cell-free reconstitution system and for the exposure of the nuclear surface in mammalian cell nuclei. Immunogold labeling of metazoan NPCs and a promising new technique for delicate coating with iridium are also discussed.

Farewell to a Fighter: John Nash " The Beautiful Mind " by Deepali Pandit
Farewell to a Fighter: John Nash
John Forbes Nash
Born in a small town in West Virginia, he did big wonders in the wide world. From solving great theoretical problems to battling mental illness, he experienced it all. Life blessed him with a beautiful mind but it also cursed the same mind with mental illness. Like everyone else he also had his share of ups and downs. He won few battles, he lost few too. But that never ending spirit of not giving up made him what he was. Today he might not be with us but his life is a big inspiration to one and all. John Forbes Nash, the famous American mathematician along with his wife Alicia Nash lost their lives in a tragic car accident.
John nash with wife when young
Nash studied for three years at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Later he moved to Princeton University where he worked on his equilibrium theory. In 1950 he received his doctorate on non-cooperative games. The thesis had the definition and properties of the famous Nash Equilibrium, which later led to his Nobel Prize. Nash's achievements in mathematics were remarkable, he was known for the originality of his thinking and his courage in solving difficult problems which people used to avoid. After receiving his doctorate from Princeton university, Nash worked as an instructor at (M.I.T) where he met his wife Alicia Larde an M.I.T. major in physics, whom he soon got married with. Everything was going fine in his professional life, but his personal life became complex after his wife got pregnant with their first child.
John Nash
In 1959, Nash started feeling mental disturbances. He suffered from delusions and extreme paranoia. H e had to quit his position in MIT. Alicia later got him admitted to the McLean Hospital where he was treated for schizophrenia. Nash was disturbed in this way for a very long period of time of almost four decades. However, he gradually improved and his mental state recovered by the time he won Nobel Prize in 1994.
John Nash and wife
Oscar winning Hollywood movie "A Beautiful Mind" was based on the inspiring life of John Nash. Hollywood actor, Russel Crowe played John Nash's character in the film. The movie was directed by Ron Howard. The movie reflects the highs and lows of John Nash's life.

Facing mental illness for such a long period was a very painful experience for Nash. But he fought it all and got rid of it. It saddens to see that after defeating mental illness he lost his life to a car accident. But his life remains an inspiration to those who are facing mental problems. If Nash could fight and defeat mental illness you too can. Be a fighter, don't give up!

The Integrated Sample Survey Scheme was introduced in the state veterinary department of Assam in 1968-69 along with the state veterinary department of the other states of India for ascertain uniform pattern in the estimation of milk, egg and meat and livestock keeping practices in the state. This has been an essential survey to estimate the quantum of livestock products produced by the state annually and most importantly the extent of contribution being made by the livestock sector to the state domestic products and for the preparation of future plans of the department.
Coverage and period of the survey: The Integrated Sample Survey is carried out in the entire state covering 26 numbers of districts both in rural and urban areas. The entire survey is carried out in three seasons of the year to study the fluctuations of livestock products. Each of the seasons consists of four months. The periods of the seasons are as follows:

There is no legitimate reason why women can't be sushi chefs, but plenty of excuses and old wives' tales abound in the male-dominated world of raw fish. Here, we recount the top reasons given to us by men as to why women and raw fish don't gel:
5. Because women menstruate: In an interview with the WSJ, Yoshikazu Ono, the son of Jiro Ono who runs the three-starred Michelin restaurant Sukiyabashi Jiro in Tokyo, says:
"The reason is because women menstruate. To be a professional means to have a steady taste in your food, but because of the menstrual cycle women have an imbalance in their taste, and that's why women can't be sushi chefs."
4. Because women wear makeup and perfume: These interfere with olfactory senses when preparing sushi.
3. Because women can't handle the work: Sushi involves hard labor, including gutting and slicing fish, working long hours and taking the last train home.
2. Because women have smaller hands: That messes up the size of the nigiri (mound of rice upon which the fish is placed).
1. And the number one reason: Because women's hands are too warm, which makes the rice too warm.
Needless to say, all of these reasons are bogus, folks.

The uncertainty in the half life of uranium-238 is stated at 0.05% [1]. The same paper gives the date 251.941 myr ± 31 kyr. 251.941 $\times$ 0.05% = 125 kyr.
How are the authors justified in claiming an accuracy of ± 31 kyr when the uncertainty in the half life alone is ± 125 kyr? On top of that, they list two other kinds of analytical uncertainties, which would only increase the overall uncertainty.
[1] Burgess, S. et al, "High-precision timeline for Earth's most severe extinction", Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, Volume 111, 2014. _URL_
I can't be entirely sure but I'll make an informed guess:
That value doesn't come for a single measurement. Therefore, if the error in the age of a single sample is $\pm125$ kyr, you just need to average 16 samples to get it down to $\pm31$ kyr.
The uncertainty in the addition (or substraction) of two or more quantities is equal to the square root of the addition of the squares of the uncertainties of each quantity (assuming they arise from random errors). For example, if we have quantity A with uncertainty $\sigma_a$ and quantity B with uncertainty $\sigma_b$, the error in the quantity $C=A+B$ would be:
And if we call M to the average between A and B. The uncertainty in the average is
So if we average 16 samples with $\sigma=125$ kyr, the uncertainty in the average would be
$\sigma_m=\frac{\sqrt{16 \sigma^2}}{16}=\frac{\sqrt{16 \times 125^2}}{16}=31$ kyr
Uncertainty propagation can be seen in the abstract of the article you refer to:
Where the ±48 ka comes from?
This treatment of uncertainties assumes that uncertainties are independent of each other. As _USER_ pointed in the comments, this won't be the case if the uncertainty comes from "the length of your measuring stick (the half-life of U-238)".
This is: if you measure something with a "yard-stick" that have the wrong size, you can't reduce the resulting error by just averaging many measurements.
I don't know enough of geochronology to understand all the different errors they report. But the simple example in the abstract cite I presented above shows that they are indeed treating those errors as independent. Otherwise the reported interval error (±48 ka) would not make sense.
If one significant source of error is indeed the uncertainty in the half-life of $^{238}$U. However, it would be wrong to treat these errors as independent only if there exists an exact value for this half-life. Alternatively, maybe there is no exact value of the half-life, and what they meant is that the half-life value can truly vary a 0.05%. This is something to look into if you want to figure out if the treatment of errors they do is correct. However, after a quick google search I found that radioactive half-life can indeed vary by a small fraction due to environmental conditions, this article explains pretty well the phenomena. Here a short excerpt:
...radioactive half-life of an atom can depend on how it is bonded to other atoms. Simply by changing the neighboring atoms that are bonded to a radioactive isotope, we can change its half-life. However, the change in half-life accomplished in this way is typically small. For instance, a study performed by B. Wang et al and published in the European Physical Journal A was able to measure that the electron capture half-life of beryllium-7 was made 0.9% longer by surrounding the beryllium atoms with palladium atoms.
If the 0.05% uncertainty on the half-life of $^{238}$U comes from random environmental factors, it would indeed be acceptable to consider them as an independent source of error for each sample.

 $\begingroup$ As far as I know, this only applies if the uncertainties are independent. If the uncertainty is in the length of your measuring stick (the half-life of U-238), the uncertainties are correlated and you can't reduce them by making more measurements. $\endgroup$ – Mark Mar 2 '19 at 20:48
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ You are right. I've added something to my answer. Have a look. $\endgroup$ – Camilo Rada Mar 2 '19 at 21:47
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ I just added something about the natural variation of radioactive decay half-life. I think that explain that they treat the errors as independent. $\endgroup$ – Camilo Rada Mar 2 '19 at 22:05
 - $\begingroup$ The page you link to lists three potential mechanisms for changing the decay rate (and thus the half-life) of radioactive elements: time dilation, electron density change and bombardment with high-energy radiation. The first doesn't apply on Earth (well, technically it does, but the time dilation due to Earth's gravity is vanishingly small), the second only affects elements that decay via electron capture (Uranium doesn't),... $\endgroup$ – Ilmari Karonen Mar 2 '19 at 22:24

 $\begingroup$ _USER_ Yes, but the OP doesn't seem to be content with just "a good approximation" as the whole question revolve around a 0.05% change in $^{238}$U half-life, a pretty tiny change. $\endgroup$ – Camilo Rada Mar 2 '19 at 22:29

Reference > Brewer's Dictionary > Zola-ise.
 Zoilos (Latin, Zoilus.).Zoliverein,
To write like Zola, the French novelist, the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Zola is noted for his realistic novels, many of which are unfit for circulating libraries. His speciality is a reckless exposition of the licentious habits of the French. His historic novel, called the Débâcle, exposed the breakdown of Napoleon III. and his army in the Franco-German war (1870–1871). 1
 Other parts of speech from Zola are Zolaesque, Zolaisation, Zolaiser, etc. 2
 The most complimentary meaning of Zolaesque is the terrible descriptive style of writing. The more general meaning is licentious and coarsely erotic. 3

Kitchen learning tower vs step stool
Meet your new best friend; the toddler learning tower.
Hold on a second. Do you mean this weird step stool looking piece of furniture with hand-rails?
Yup, that's the one!
Do I still need that "learning stool" if I already have a good ol' step-stool lying around the house?
Well, that's going to depend on how much time you have on your hands to keep making sure your kid is staying safe up on a stool for extended periods of time.
At our house there isn't too much time to spare at meal time, so we need accessories that keep our kids busy AND safe. The kitchen learning tower does just that, and more!
Learning tower in the kitchen
What is a toddler learning tower?
A kitchen helper tower (or learning tower) is nothing more than a step stool with a guard rail around the top step to keep you little one safe.
Over time, the learning stool has evolved. Many models now come with additional accessories such as a chalkboard, whiteboard, an easel, paper and pencil holders and more.
The design also varies between the different brands. Learning towers also come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some learning stools even fold flat or convert into a table and chair. They are awesome.
Learning tower in the kithcen (1)
What is the purpose of a learning tower?
A learning tower has two main purposes. It raises your toddler up to counter height and it keeps them contained in a safe area so they don't fall over.
When your child reaches a certain age, they will want to (or demand to) see everything you are doing. The reality is that parents spend a ton of time in the kitchen preparing meals and cleaning up after them so kids want to know what we are doing up there, and they also want to participate.
With a learning tower you can have your kids help with the dishes, meals, wash their own hands and even do arts and craft together while standing. There are so many activities that can be done together with a Montessori learning tower.
learning tower vs step stool
Can I use a step stool instead of a kitchen learning tower?
Yes you can use a step stool instead of a kitchen helper tower but you will likely have a hard time doing anything with your toddler on a step stool. At least I did.
The step stool only does one part of the job, it brings your little one to the counter. What it doesn't do is free you to do other things. If you want to have peace of mind and actually get dinner on the table without the screaming (or a falling child), you need a learning tower.
In Conclusion
Using a step stool to keep your child busy will not solve all your problems. A kitchen helper tower will certainly give your child the safety he needs. It also provides you, the parent, the peace of mind you are looking for.
There are countless ways to keep your child happy on a kitchen learning tower while they learn new skills and get to see everything you do to keep the house running. It's a win-win-win!


text: The stop() action forces the process that fires the enabled probe to stop when it next leaves the kernel, as if stopped by a proc(4) action. The prun(1) utility may be used to resume a process that has been stopped by the stop() action. The stop() action can be used to stop a process at any DTrace probe point. This action can be used to capture a program in a particular state that would be difficult to achieve with a simple breakpoint, and then attach a traditional debugger like mdb(1) to the process. You can also use the gcore(1) utility to save the state of a stopped process in a core file for later analysis.


Comparing Analysis Methods in Functional Calcium Imaging of the Insect Brain.
Forskningsoutput: TidskriftsbidragArtikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift
Abstract
We investigate four different methods for background estimation in calcium imaging of the insect brain and evaluate their performance on six data sets consisting of data recorded from two sites in two species of moths. The calcium fluorescence decay curve outside the potential response is estimated using either a low-pass filter or constant, linear or polynomial regression, and is subsequently used to calculate the magnitude, latency and duration of the response. The magnitude and variance of the responses that are obtained by the different methods are compared, and, by computing the receiver operating characteristics of a classifier based on response magnitude, we evaluate the ability of each method to detect the stimulus type and conclude that a polynomial approximation of the background gives the overall best result.
