Market structure and disempowering regulatory intermediaries: Insights from U.S. trade surveillance
Miles Kellerman, DPhil student, has published a new article presenting the 'Marketing Structure Hypothesis'.
Public agencies outsource a wide variety of tasks to nonstate actors, or what can be referred to as regulatory intermediaries. In certain circumstances, these agencies may seek to disempower those regulatory intermediaries by reclaiming, duplicating, or transferring the outsourced task. When will these disempowerment attempts be successful? This article presents the Market Structure Hypothesis, which contends that the level of competition between regulatory intermediaries will, all things equal, determine whether disempowerment attempts succeed. To test this hypothesis, this article examines the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's attempts to acquire the independent capacity to conduct nationwide trade surveillance in the 1980s (Market Oversight Surveillance System) and 2010s (Consolidated Audit Trail). Evidence derives from archival materials, a Freedom of Information Act Request, and 60 interviews in Oxford, London, Toronto, New York City, and Washington, DC. The empirical results corroborate the hypothesis' expectations, contributing to our understanding of public‐private partnerships and shedding new empirical light on an understudied topic of securities regulation.

MEDIEVAL SCULPTOR, French
(active c. 1150 at Charlieu)
The tympanum represents the Wedding at Cana (or Last Supper?). The theme of the feast is easily adapted to an architectural framework; the table can be rectilinear on a lintel and circular on a capital. Here, the table is semicircular, adapting itself to the tympanum form and becoming the basic coordinating element of the whole composition. The compositional firmness of the scene somewhat restrains the fervour and restlessness that Burgundian sculpture displays in other mid-12th century sculptures, and which is here seen in the voussoirs, where the figures gesticulate freely.

I am trying to prove that:
(uv)R = vRuR
where R is the reversal of a String defined recursively as:
aR = a
(wa)R = awR
I think I have the base case right, but I am having trouble with the inductive step and final proof.
here is what I have:
Base Step
prove for n = 1 where |uv| = 1
(uv)R = uReR = uR = u (where e is the empty string)
I dont really know where to go from here, any help would be great.
share|improve this question
Instead of doing induction over the entire $|uv|$, let the induction variable be just $|v|$ and keep the $u$ constant-but-arbitrary throughout the induction proof. (Also, since $u$ can be empty, the base case should probably be $|u|=0$ rather than $|u|=1$). – Henning Makholm Sep 3 '11 at 22:01

I agree with Henning that your induction should be on $|v|$. Note in the case $|v| = 1$, you're done by definition. It's probably also worth mentioning something about the empty string for completeness.
Let me demonstrate how I would prove this for $|v| = 3$ supposing we knew this were true for when $|v| = 2$. This should illustrate how you should prove $|v| = n$ from assuming $|v| = n - 1$ is valid.
Let $v = v_1v_2v_3$ be a string of length 3. Assume the claim is true for strings of length 2. Then $(uv)^R = (uv_1v_2v_3)^R$. By the recursive definition, $(uv_1v_2v_3)^R = v_3(uv_1v_2)^R$. Note $v_1v_2$ is a string of length 2, so we have $v_3(uv_1v_2)^R = v_3(v_1v_2)^Ru^R$. But by definition, $v_3(v_1v_2)^Ru^R = v_3v_2v_1u^R = (v_1v_2v_3)^Ru^R$.
In almost all inductive proofs, it helps to prove a few small cases by using even smaller cases. If you're still having trouble, try proving this for $|v| = 4$ by using the same ideas as above.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Counterweights are real-world yo-yo accessories used to aid in tricks where the yo-yo is swung from the middle of the string rather than its end. Real-world counterweights are often patterned after (or made out of) polyhedral dice, and Terraria's follow suit: the Blue and Red Counterweights are four-sided (tetrahedral) dice, the Purple and Green Counterweights are six-sided (cubic/hexahedral) dice, and the Black and Yellow Counterweights are twelve-sided (dodecahedral) dice.

Say I have a sample of some alkali metal - Rubidium for example. A sample of Rubidium consists of approximately 27% $^{87}$Rb and 73% $^{85}$Rb. Does the vapor pressure of each isotope individual necessarily have to be in the same proportion? More specifically, assuming I have enough Rubidium around that I have enough atoms of each isotope to reach the saturated vapor pressure, is there any physical reason why the ratio of the vapor pressures would match their relative abundances?
I guess this is coming from this perspective - the linear absorption spectrum for a sample of natural rubidium at a specific fine transition (D2 line - 5S1/2 ->5P3/2 if you are interested) looks like image below, the $^{87}$Rb peaks (outer) are clearly smaller than the $^{85}$Rb peaks (inner), and this amplitude ratio is directly related to their natural abundances. If the atoms are in a gas, what forces their vapor pressure to have the same ratio as their relative abundance?
enter image description here
Along a similar line of questioning. A sample of Rb will naturally have some trace amount of Cs in it. The saturated number density of Cs at room temperature is ~$10^9$ atoms per cm$^3$, and I'm looking at a volume of say 1cm$^3$. If I have a droplet of 1 gram of Rb in the volume, which is.001 moles, even at.001% impurity I have $>10^{17}$ atoms of cesium in the sample, clearly enough to reach saturated density. -Does this imply that you can do spectroscopy on a volume with Rb and obtain the same spectrum as a volume with a droplet of Cs in it? If not, what prevents the Cs impurity in Rb to reach full saturation.
*Note: Perhaps I should make it clear : The linear absorption spectrum is proportional to the theoretical absorption (for a single atom) times the number density of atoms in the sample. The relative amplitudes of the peaks are therefore a proportional to the relative abundances of the two isotopes.

From the logic side - if there were much difference in wapor pressure between isotopes, isotope separation would be much easier process than we see now. Surely there is a difference, but not something you can see on spectrum.
Can't comment on Cs saturation though.

I posed this question to some coworkers outside of physics.se here is the first order answer that satisfied me.
Evaporation is effectively a statistical process that is determined by the probability of a certain atom from escaping its liquid bonds and becoming free. The process does not care about what atom evaporates (in the approximation that the two isotopes have the same mass and binding energy - which is reasonable), it effectively becomes a probability problem. You have a bag of atoms, some colored blue and some colored red. The probability of picking a red atom out of the bag (having 85Rb escape the liquid and go free) is given by its relative abundance to blue atoms, assuming that there are enough atoms around that the atoms lost to the vapor do not significantly affect the ratio of isotopes in the the liquid, we would expect, statistically, the abundance of isotopes in the vapor would match that of the liquid.
For Cs impurities, the same logic applies, although you have to modify a little bit due to the heavier weight of the Cs atom and potentially a difference in enthalpy of vaporization.

text: Non-discrimination is a recognized objective in algorithmic decision making. In this paper, we introduce a novel probabilistic formulation of data pre-processing for reducing discrimination. We propose a convex optimization for learning a data transformation with three goals: controlling discrimination, limiting distortion in individual data samples, and preserving utility. We characterize the impact of limited sample size in accomplishing this objective. Two instances of the proposed optimization are applied to datasets, including one on real-world criminal recidivism. Results show that discrimination can be greatly reduced at a small cost in classification accuracy.

What Was the Main Religion in Colonial Pennsylvania?
In general, no primary religious group dominated in colonial Pennsylvania. Religious sects that had a strong presence in this area included Quakers and Lutherans.
Pennsylvania was officially founded in 1682 by William Penn. It represented one of the 13 original American colonies. The colony's founder considered himself a Quaker; freedom of worship for Quakers was a prominent reason for the colony's founding. Penn also strongly believed in religious tolerance for all individuals. He was one of the main voices against the oppressive Church of England. Under Penn's leadership, Pennsylvania developed into a colony that promoted and granted religious freedom. As a result, worshipers from nearly every major religious group of the time could be found in the region.

What is the pressure inside my Propane Tank?
That is an important question!
- Propane pressure is directly related to the ambient temperature. For example, any volume of propane contained in a propane tank at 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the pressure is about 128 psi, at 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the pressure is about 78 psi and at zero degrees Fahrenheit, the propane pressure can reduce to 24 psi. Therefore, using appliances in colder climates can present issues that require professional assistance.

Here we present a sustainable, environment-friendly and energy-efficient approach for synthesis of porous tungsten carbide (WC). A biopolymer-metal oxide composite featuring iota-carrageenan, chitin and tungsten trioxide (WO3) was used as the precursor material. The reaction mechanism for the synthesis of WC was estimated using the results from X-ray diffraction characterization (XRD). A synthesis temperature of 1300 °C and dwell time of 3 h were found to be the optimum process parameters to obtain WC>98% pure. The grain size, porosity and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of the synthesized WC were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. A mesoporous WC was synthesized here with a grain size around 20 nm and BET surface area of 67.03 m2/g. Gel casting was used to demonstrate the manufacturing capability of the proposed precursor material. The WC obtained after heat treatment preserved the original shape albeit significant shrinkage. The WC synthesized here has potential applications in high temperature filters, catalysis, fuel cells and batteries.

Using Google Spreadsheets
Using Google Apps Provisioning
Google Apps is a service which allows domain administrators to offer their users managed access to Google services such as Mail, Calendar, and Docs & Spreadsheets. The Provisioning API offers a programmatic interface to configure this service. Specifically, this API allows administrators the ability to create, retrieve, update, and delete user accounts, nicknames, groups, and email lists.
This library implements version 2.0 of the Provisioning API. Access to your account via the Provisioning API must be manually enabled for each domain using the Google Apps control panel. Only certain account types are able to enable this feature.
For more information on the Google Apps Provisioning API, including instructions for enabling API access, refer to the » Provisioning API V2.0 Reference.
Note: Authentication
The Provisioning API does not support authentication via AuthSub and anonymous access is not permitted. All HTTP connections must be authenticated using ClientAuth authentication.
Setting the current domain
In order to use the Provisioning API, the domain being administered needs to be specified in all request URIs. In order to ease development, this information is stored within both the Gapps service and query classes to use when constructing requests.
Setting the domain for the service class
To set the domain for requests made by the service class, either call setDomain() or specify the domain when instantiating the service class. For example:
 1. $domain = "example.com";
 2. $gdata = new Zend_Gdata_Gapps($client, $domain);
Setting the domain for query classes
Setting the domain for requests made by query classes is similar to setting it for the service class-either call setDomain() or specify the domain when creating the query. For example:
 1. $domain = "example.com";
 2. $query = new Zend_Gdata_Gapps_UserQuery($domain, $arg);
When using a service class factory method to create a query, the service class will automatically set the query's domain to match its own domain. As a result, it is not necessary to specify the domain as part of the constructor arguments.
 1. $domain = "example.com";
 2. $gdata = new Zend_Gdata_Gapps($client, $domain);
 3. $query = $gdata->newUserQuery($arg);
Interacting with users
Each user account on a Google Apps hosted domain is represented as an instance of Zend_Gdata_Gapps_UserEntry. This class provides access to all account properties including name, username, password, access rights, and current quota.
Creating a user account
User accounts can be created by calling the createUser() convenience method:
 1. $gdata->createUser('foo', 'Random', 'User', '••••••••');
Users can also be created by instantiating UserEntry, providing a username, given name, family name, and password, then calling insertUser() on a service object to upload the entry to the server.
 1. $user = $gdata->newUserEntry();
 2. $user->login = $gdata->newLogin();
 3. $user->login->username = 'foo';
 4. $user->login->password = '••••••••';
 5. $user->name = $gdata->newName();
 6. $user->name->givenName = 'Random';
 7. $user->name->familyName = 'User';
 8. $user = $gdata->insertUser($user);
The user's password should normally be provided as cleartext. Optionally, the password can be provided as an SHA-1 digest if login->passwordHashFunction is set to 'SHA-1'.
Retrieving a user account
Individual user accounts can be retrieved by calling the retrieveUser() convenience method. If the user is not found, NULL will be returned.
 1. $user = $gdata->retrieveUser('foo');
 2.
 3. echo 'Username: ' . $user->login->userName . "\n";
 4. echo 'Given Name: ' . $user->name->givenName . "\n";
 5. echo 'Family Name: ' . $user->name->familyName . "\n";
 6. echo 'Suspended: ' . ($user->login->suspended ? 'Yes' : 'No') . "\n";
 7. echo 'Admin: ' . ($user->login->admin ? 'Yes' : 'No') . "\n"
 8. echo 'Must Change Password: ' .
 9. ($user->login->changePasswordAtNextLogin ? 'Yes' : 'No') . "\n";
 10. echo 'Has Agreed To Terms: ' .
 11. ($user->login->agreedToTerms ? 'Yes' : 'No') . "\n";
Users can also be retrieved by creating an instance of Zend_Gdata_Gapps_UserQuery, setting its username property to equal the username of the user that is to be retrieved, and calling getUserEntry() on a service object with that query.
 1. $query = $gdata->newUserQuery('foo');
 2. $user = $gdata->getUserEntry($query);
 3.
 4. echo 'Username: ' . $user->login->userName . "\n";
 5. echo 'Given Name: ' . $user->login->givenName . "\n";
 6. echo 'Family Name: ' . $user->login->familyName . "\n";
 7. echo 'Suspended: ' . ($user->login->suspended ? 'Yes' : 'No') . "\n";
 8. echo 'Admin: ' . ($user->login->admin ? 'Yes' : 'No') . "\n"
 9. echo 'Must Change Password: ' .
 10. ($user->login->changePasswordAtNextLogin ? 'Yes' : 'No') . "\n";
 11. echo 'Has Agreed To Terms: ' .
 12. ($user->login->agreedToTerms ? 'Yes' : 'No') . "\n";
If the specified user cannot be located a ServiceException will be thrown with an error code of Zend_Gdata_Gapps_Error::ENTITY_DOES_NOT_EXIST. ServiceExceptions will be covered in the exceptions chapter.
Retrieving all users in a domain
To retrieve all users in a domain, call the retrieveAllUsers() convenience method.
 1. $feed = $gdata->retrieveAllUsers();
 2.
 3. foreach ($feed as $user) {
 4. echo " * " . $user->login->username . ' (' . $user->name->givenName .
 5. ' ' . $user->name->familyName . ")\n";
 6. }
This will create a Zend_Gdata_Gapps_UserFeed object which holds each user on the domain.
Alternatively, call getUserFeed() with no options. Keep in mind that on larger domains this feed may be paged by the server. For more information on paging, see the paging chapter.
 1. $feed = $gdata->getUserFeed();
 2.
 3. foreach ($feed as $user) {
 4. echo " * " . $user->login->username . ' (' . $user->name->givenName .
 5. ' ' . $user->name->familyName . ")\n";
 6. }
Updating a user account
The easiest way to update a user account is to retrieve the user as described in the previous sections, make any desired changes, then call save() on that user. Any changes made will be propagated to the server.
 1. $user = $gdata->retrieveUser('foo');
 2. $user->name->givenName = 'Foo';
 3. $user->name->familyName = 'Bar';
 4. $user = $user->save();
Resetting a user's password
A user's password can be reset to a new value by updating the login->password property.
 1. $user = $gdata->retrieveUser('foo');
 2. $user->login->password = '••••••••';
 3.

3. you will have to weld the verts after
4. The Buffer Height is the distance that checks amount of offset to determine which verts should get connected. (example: if a vert is at 0 0 0 and another one is at 0 0 9 cm, It will connect the 2 verts. If the verts are at 0 0 0 and 0 0 11 cm, It wont connect the verts.) The buffer Height is determined if XY XZ YZ (example: if XY it checks the Z distance, if XZ it checks the Y distance, if YZ it checks the X distance)
note: this will only work on a single mesh. so you will have to combine meshes if you are aligning multiple meshes

Delaware Information and Facts
|"Delaware State Travel and Visitor Information."|
The population of Delaware in 2002 was 805,945. Its rank was 45th in the nation. (The District of Columbia is included for ranking purposes.)
Per Capita Personal Income
In 2002 Delaware had a per capita personal income of $32,090. This per capita personal income ranked 15th in the United States and was 104 percent of the national average, $30,906. The 2002 per capita personal income reflected an increase of 1.9 percent from 2001. The 2001-2002 national change was 1.2 percent. In 1992 the per capita personal income of Delaware was $22,670 and ranked 9th in the United States. The _PHONE_ average annual growth rate of per capita personal income was 3.5 percent. The average annual growth rate for the nation was 4.0 percent.
Total Personal Income
In 2002 Delaware had a total personal income of $25,862,407. This total personal income ranked 45th in the United States. In 1992 the total personal income of Delaware was $15,753,972 and ranked 45th in the United States. The 2002 total personal income reflected an increase of 3.2 percent from 2001. The 2001-2002 national change was 2.3 percent. The _PHONE_ average annual growth rate of total personal income was 5.1 percent. The average annual growth rate for the nation was 5.2 percent.
Components of Personal Income
Total personal income includes net earnings by place of residence; dividends, interest, and rent; and total personal current transfer receipts received by the residents of Delaware. In 2002 net earnings accounted for 68.2 percent of total personal income (compared with 68.9 in 1992); dividends, interest, and rent were 17.7 percent (compared with 19.6 in 1992); and personal current transfer receipts were 14.0 percent (compared with 11.5 in 1992). From 2001 to 2002 net earnings increased 2.5 percent; dividends, interest, and rent increased 1.6 percent; and personal current transfer receipts increased 9.1 percent. From 1992 to 2002 net earnings increased on average 5.0 percent each year; dividends, interest, and rent increased on average 4.0 percent; and personal current transfer receipts increased on average 7.2 percent.
Earnings of persons employed in Delaware increased from $21,407,523 in 2001 to $21,922,876 in 2002, an increase of 2.4 percent. The 2001-2002 national change was 1.5 percent. The average annual growth rate from the 1992 estimate of $13,292,286 to the 2002 estimate was 5.1 percent. The average annual growth rate for the nation was 5.3 percent.
Climate - Delaware has generally hot and humid summers and
fairly mild winters. In July, average daytime temperatures are usually in the upper 20°s to lower 30°s C (80°s F) or even
higher. But because summer nights tend to be cooler than the days, July averages are about 24° C (about
75° F). In addition, onshore sea breezes can reduce daytime temperatures along the coast by 3° to 6° C
(5° to 10° F). January averages range from -1° C (31° F) at Newark, in the north, to 3° C (38° F) at
Bridgeville, in Sussex County. Nearly three-fifths of Delaware's days are classified as sunny. Precipitation (rainfall and snowfall) in Delaware is evenly distributed throughout the year, with
slightly more in June and July than in any other month. Most of the state receives between 1020 and
1170 mm (40 and 46 in) a year. Severe droughts are uncommon. Thunderstorms occur frequently in summer,
and in winter there is generally light snowfall.

Developed and tested by Dr. Ed Root, the IEDRO Strip Chart Digitizer program retrieves data from scanned strip chart images and converts them into an accurate computer-readable format.
IEDRO's Strip Chart Digitizer Program
Developed and tested by Dr. Ed Root, the IEDRO Strip Chart Digitizer program retrieves data from scanned strip chart images and converts them into an accurate computer-readable format. The program is five to ten times faster than a trained person performing hand tracing.
Hydrometeorological "strip charts" record the changes in parameter values over time. Observational data such as temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, precipitation, stream flow, wind direction and speed, etc., are recorded as a pen trace on a grid. These charts are mounted on cylinders which rotate at a constant speed, and a pen, attached to a mechanical device, records the changes in parameter values over time. Depending on the speed at which the cylinder turns, the charts may represent parameter changes over a 24-hour period or a 7-day week.
Prior to the construction of the IEDRO Strip Chart Digitization Program, the process of extracting information from these charts and digitizing the values over specific periods of time involved manually running a digitizing pen over the trace on the chart (which was mounted on a light table), and then entering the data on a form. This manual process usually took 15 to 20 minutes of effort.
Dr. Ed Root, one of IEDRO's talented volunteers, spent nearly 3 years developing a computer program that will take a scanned or digitally photographed image of one of these charts and digitize the entire chart at any time interval requested. The digitized data can be provided in a comma delimited file or transcribed in a table. The time required for the program to digitize a chart? Less than 5 seconds!

text: With the increasing demands of energy efficiency and environment protection, composite materials have become an important alternative for traditional materials. Composite materials offer many advantages over traditional materials including: low density, high strength, high stiffness to weight ratio, excellent durability, and design flexibility. Despite all these advantages, composite materials have not been as widely used as expected because of the complexity and cost of the manufacturing process. One of the main causes is associated with poor dimensional control. General curved composite parts are often used as the structural components in the composite industry. Due to the anisotropic material nature, process-induced dimensional variations make it difficult for tighttolerance control and limit the use of composites. This research aims to develop a practical approach for the design of general curved composite parts and assembly. First, the closed-form solution for the process-induced dimensional variations, which is commonly called spring-in, was derived. For a general curved composite part, a Structural Tree Method (STM) was developed to divide the curve into a number of pieces and calculate the dimensional variations sequentially. This method can be also applied to an assembly of composite parts. The approach was validated through a case study. The method presented in this paper provides a convenient and practical tool for the dimensional and tolerance analysis in the early design stage of general curved composite parts and assembly, which is extremely useful for the realization of affordable tight tolerance composites. It also provides the foundation of Integrated Product/Process Development (IPPD) and Design for Manufacturing/Assembly (DFM/DFA) for composites.


WPF Support
ReoGrid can work with both Windows Form and WPF. The core of ReoGrid works for both platform, there are independent view modules for rendering and handling user interface on each platform. The APIs of control that faced to user code are almost the same. User code that uses ReoGrid graphics interface for rendering custom cell or handling user event in cell can work on different platform.
Same one template file such as Excel or RGF that can display on Windows Form platform as well as WPF platform. Below are the results from different platforms that uses same template (order_sample.rgf).
As the result ReoGrid tries to keep almost the same appearance for different platforms.
Add spreadsheet control in XAML
Add ReoGrid DLL reference for target project, edit the XAML file of main window as below:
File MainWindow.xaml:
 x:Class="WPFDemo.MainWindow" Title="MainWindow" Height="640" Width="800">

Make sure the namespace is declared in the attribute list, then define a ReoGridControl tag inside Grid tag, run the application, an empty spreadsheet will be displayed in window like below:
In code behind, write code to call APIs of worksheet in order to set same example data and styles:
// get current worksheet instance
var worksheet = grid.CurrentWorksheet;
// get a range reference
var range = worksheet.Ranges["B2:C3"];
// merge the range
// set range styles
range.Style.BackColor = Graphics.SolidColor.LightYellow;
range.BorderOutside = RangeBorderStyle.BlackSolid;
// set range inner data
range.Data = "Hello World!";
The APIs of WPF edition is totally same as the Windows Form edition, see documentation for more details.
Load a template spreadsheet file
Set attribute LoadFromFile to load a template spreadsheet from file:
By run this sample the template spreadsheet will be displayed. It is possible to fill the data in a specified range by code after loading:
public MainWindow()
 grid.CurrentWorksheet.FileLoaded += CurrentWorksheet_FileLoaded;
void CurrentWorksheet_FileLoaded(object sender, unvell.ReoGrid.Events.FileLoadedEventArgs e)
 var worksheet = grid.CurrentWorksheet;
 var dataRange = worksheet.Ranges["A21:G35"];
 dataRange.Data = new object[,]
 {"[23423423]", "Product ABC", 15, 150, 2250},
 {"[45645645]", "Product DEF", 1, 75, 75},

Q. Is it permitted during Shabbos to open or increase the water dripping into a humidifier connected to the heating furnace. The warm air rushes by a metal net or mesh, that spreads the droplets of water into the air exiting the furnace and it evaporates into it. The temperature of the air at that point is less than 40 C. Is this allowed?
Is it permitted to add water to the tank of a cold-water room humidifier, that has some water but needs more to keep working the whole day?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that in regard to adding water to the tank of a cold-water room humidifier, in case of need it is permitted, since it is already working and no bishul or cooking of the water is involved.
However, regarding the humidifier units connected and feeding moisture to a hot air furnace, although some furnaces at some points of their heating cycle may indeed be forcing air that is bellow 40 C at the area next to the humidifier, most heating units are way above that temperature when close to the ignited area and usually the humidifier unit is adjacent. Therefore, the Rov maintains that during Shabbos no changes should be done to the amount of water entering the unit. Nevertheless, it is permitted during Yom Tov.

Low-temperature spin dynamics in the face-centered-icosahedral Zn-Mg-Tb quasicrystal has been investigated by inelastic neutron scattering around its spin-glass-like freezing temperature (Tf 5.8 K). A single broad inelastic peak, centered at ω 2.5 meV, was observed in the inelastic scattering spectrum at temperatures ranging from the base temperature up to ∼20 K. The inelastic peak energy is Q independent, whereas the peak intensity shows weak Q dependence, which is qualitatively similar to that observed for the elastic diffuse scattering. The inelasticity of spin excitations is hardly seen in canonical spin glasses and thus is a distinct feature of the Zn-Mg-Tb quasicrystal. We argue, with an aide of numerical simulation, that this broad inelastic peak can be interpreted as localized collective fluctuations of short-range-ordered spins in a dodecahedral spin cluster. In a much lower-energy region (ω<0.8 meV), we observed a strong quasielastic signal, appearing only above Tf; its peak width decreases as the temperature is lowered and vanishes at Tf. It is thus evident that the quasielastic signal corresponds to a slow spin dynamics that freezes at the macroscopic freezing temperature. The coexistence of the inelastic peak and quasielastic signal suggests that the short-range order in the single cluster is robustly formed but is dynamic for Tf <T<20 K. The macroscopic freezing at Tf is, thus, attributed to a random freezing of spin-cluster fluctuations.

Chief of General Staff of Russian Army notes secure communications system created at Kazan University
GERAKL (Hercules) system was shown to Valery Gerasimov at an expo at Kazan Higher Tank Command College.
GERAKL, which stands for "generation and distribution of encryption keys", is a highly secure encrypted communications system. It was designed and constructed by employees of the AstroChallenge Priority Research Unit based at KFU. Head of the Unit, Oleg Sherstyukov, explained how the system can benefit users to General of the Army, Deputy Minister of Defence, and Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov during a meeting on Friday, 20th April.
Professor Sherstyukov said that the system is based on the unpredictability of distribution of radio signals in complex environments. Encryption keys are created through calculations of physical parameters. Deputy Minister Gerasimov and guests of the expo asked some questions and were visibly interested in the equipment.

If I Can Sing a Song about Ligatures 2009, Digital Video
w/ Nada Gordon (part of FOREIGN FILM SERIES)
Third in the series of Foreign Films exploring relations of text and image, how text turns the image. In (If I Can Sing A Song About) Ligatures, words taken from lines of Nada Gordon's unrequited love poems, whose sentences are taken, in their turn, from anonymous web poems, reveal a history of sexuality. Ligatures pronounces the poignancy of desire; its power and its vulnerability. The women are visions, girls, desirous, delicate, illusory. The illusionary nature is made manifest-transversing boundaries, expectations and physical limits-by the close. We in the audience, creating our own identities in the moments, remain trans-fixed.

Golf courses host some of the only semi-natural aquatic habitats in urban areas. We assessed whether golf course wetlands could provide habitat refuges for freshwater turtles, which are threatened worldwide by wetland loss and degradation associated with urbanization. In 2009 and 2010 we examined populations of snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) and painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) and their habitats in 88 wetlands near Syracuse, New York, USA in golf courses, urban areas, and wildlife refuges. We tested two null hypotheses: (1) golf courses provide habitats comparable to nearby urban and protected areas, and (2) turtle populations in these contexts are comparable. Golf course wetlands were surrounded by low road density and were distinct from protected area wetlands only in that they were surrounded by less forest and grassland and had more homogenous aquatic plant communities. In terms of turtle populations, relative abundance was equivalent in protected area and golf course wetlands and female fraction was closer to parity in golf course wetlands. Painted turtles were of similar size across contexts and snapping turtles were smaller in urban and golf course contexts. Additionally, male turtles in golf courses were relatively heavier and both species had less severe indicators of poor health. Golf course wetlands apparently supported viable turtle populations similar to those observed in protected areas in the region. Nevertheless, turtle habitat on golf courses can be improved by increasing the area of wetlands, increasing their shape complexity, promoting vegetative diversity in and around wetlands, and increasing surrounding forest and grassland.

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN (ALMOST)
25th September, 1946 : Australian farmers are counting on a new secret weapon in their fight against the ravages of grasshoppers: the air raid. Millions of grasshoppers died on a property near Gunnedah today when they were sprayed by poison from a converted RAAF Beaufort bomber. The plane, working in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture of New South Wales, made several runs over the field at low altitude, and on each run sprayed a strip about 70 yards long. The huge swarms of locusts cause enormous damage to crops.

Kanchanpur –The ban on the operation of four-wheel vehicles on the Mahakali River bridge is in effect today also after the level of water flow in the river increased.
As per the measurement taken at 8 am today, the water flow in the river was 144 thousand 870 Cusecs. Four-wheel vehicles are banned from operating on the bridge after the water flow in the river is more than 80 thousand Cusecs.
The Indian side has been placing the ban on the operation of vehicles on the bridge once the water discharge level in the river increases, citing the age of the bridge. Vehicles have queued up on both ends of the bridge waiting for the water level in the river to decrease and for their turn to cross the bridge.

What is a TAO file?
A TAO file is a disk image that contains a copy of a CD or DVD's contents. It is used to create duplicate or backup discs, via CD and DVD burning programs. TAO files are used to burn discs using the track-at-once (TAO) recording method.
More Information
Track-at-once is a method of writing data to a CD-R or DVD-R. Programs that use this method write one track or title to a disc at a time, with run-out and run-in blocks recorded between each track. In contrast, programs that write discs using the disc-at-once (DAO) method write all data to a disc at the same time, often with no run-out and run-in blocks.
Various CD and DVD authoring programs that can write discs using the TAO method can create and load TAO files. These files contain all of a track-at-once disc's contents, saved in a format that can be used to transfer those contents to a recordable disc.
How to open a TAO file
You can open a TAO file and view its contents with Smart Projects IsoBuster (Windows) or EZB Systems UltraISO (Windows). UltraISO also allows you to burn the data your TAO file contains to a CD-R or DVD-R.

Denmark attracts more tourists in the wettest October in 20 years
New figures: October 2019 was the wettest in over 20 years. Meanwhile, the heavy rainfall didn't scare tourists away from Denmark. Figures from Statistics Denmark show that the number of overnight stays at hotels and in summerhouses in October increased by 6 per cent in comparison to the same period last year.
In October, there were 4.7 million overnight stays in total. The number of Danish overnight stays remained stable, while the number of international overnight stays increased by 11 per cent to 2.7 million in October.
"It's almost as though tourists love Denmark in the rain. But the fact that we've managed to maintain tourists' interest despite the very bad weather probably has more to do with the fact that tourist attractions have successfully communicated to tourists all that Denmark has to offer as a holiday destination," says Head of Tourism and Experience Economy at the Confederation of Danish Industry, Sune K. Jensen.
All over the country, the tourism industry and tourist destinations are making efforts to attract tourists outside the traditional high season. In the fall, there is a greater risk of poor weather that prevents outdoor activities, and it is therefore important to ensure that there are options for tourists on rainy days.
"Bad weather is no longer just a question of proper attire. Several regions have drawn up top 10 lists for tourists with proposals for indoor activities if it rains. This is a simple way to make tourists feel assured when they plan their trip - they know that they won't end up stuck in their hotel room or a summerhouse feeling bored," says Sune K. Jensen.

Licensing and Regulatory Boards and Commissions
Nevada Dairy Commission
Dairy Commission Administrative History
The Nevada Dairy Commission was established by the Nevada Legislature in 1955 for the purpose of ensuring that an adequate and continuous supply of nutritious, wholesome, fluid milk and dairy products is available to Nevada consumers. Laws and regulations allow the Dairy Commission to monitor the dairy industry through auditing and investigative activities. The Dairy Commission is dedicated to promoting a business climate that is economically viable for those who produce and process dairy products in Nevada.
The original legislation established that it is the policy of the state of Nevada to promote, foster and encourage intelligent production and orderly marketing of commodities necessary to its citizens, including milk; and to eliminate speculation, waste, improper marketing, unfair and destructive trade practices and improper accounting for milk purchased from producers.
The purpose of the act to establish the Dairy Commission was:
- To provide funds for administration and enforcement of the act, by assessments to be paid by producers of fluid mild and fluid cream or both, and from licenses issued to distributors.
- To authorize and enable the commission to prescribe marketing areas which are necessary due to varying factors of costs or production, health regulations, transportation and other factors in said marketing areas.
- To authorize and enable the commission to formulate stabilization and marketing plans.
- To enable the dairy industry with the aid of the state to correct existing evils, develop and maintain satisfactory marketing conditions and bring about a reasonable amount of stability and prosperity in the production and marketing of fluid milk and fluid cream.
The original legislation in 1955 established a Commission of five members: one producer, one distributor, one producer-distributor, one operator of a retail store, and one member a representative of the consuming public. The Commission appointed employees necessary to carry out the provisions of the legislation.
The Dairy Commission is funded from fees collected through licenses, permits, and assessments on regulated dairy products. It does not receive funds from the State General Fund.
The 1955 legislation classified fluid milk into three classes with class one being milk marketed as milk, class two being ice cream and class three being butter and cheese. It also directed the Commission to hold public hearings in the State Marketing Areas to determine Stabilization and Marketing Plans for these areas.
The legislation did not provide adequate funds for the Commission to operate so it returned to the Legislature in 1957 and received supplemental legislation. This included increasing the Commission to nine members. The new Dairy Commission had its first meeting on May 22, 1957 and employed as its first Secretary-Administrator Clarence J. Cassady.
The Commission established three Marketing Areas for Nevada which were the Western Marketing Area based in Reno, the Eastern Marketing Area based in Ely, and the Southern Marketing Area based in Las Vegas. Public hearings were held in these Marketing Areas in 1956 and 1957 to establish area Stabilization and Marketing Plans which set minimum prices necessary to accomplish the purpose of the legislation. The categories of these minimum prices established were producer, wholesaler, and retailer. This price fixing on the producer, wholesale, and retail levels became the most controversial of all the duties of the Dairy Commission. The Commission always emphasized that these were floor prices and it was very rare for a retailer to sell milk anywhere near the floor and that high milk prices could not be blamed on the Nevada Dairy Commission.
Over the years the nine member commission which was made up of members of the Dairy industry was thought to be an inadequate regulator of the industry as too many of the members had conflicts of interest. A climax came in the mid-1970s when scandal ran through the Nevada dairy industry involving illegal rebates and kick back payments. In 1976 a Nevada Legislative Bulletin recommended a large overhaul of the Dairy Commission; the 1977 Legislature followed through with the interim study recommendations to change the makeup and the purpose of the Nevada Dairy Commission.
The 1977 legislation reduced the number of the members of the Dairy Commission to three and decreed that one member shall be a public accountant or a certified public account, one member shall be an agricultural economist, and one member shall be experienced in banking or finance. The legislation for the management of the Commission was greatly rewritten and the way that the Dairy Commission did its business greatly changed. Public hearings and commission meetings became much less contentious and the number of applications that were rejected dropped. The price fixing powers of the Commission were greatly reduced as minimum retail prices could no longer be set by the Commission. This legislation and restructuring of the Commission led to only minimum wholesale prices being set by the Commission through a formula established by the staff and members of the Dairy Commission for each of the classes of fluid milk.
The Nevada Dairy Commission when established in 1955 was placed administratively under the Governor's Office as one of the boards and commissions whose members were appointed by the Governor. In 1993 the Commission became a unit of the new Department of Business and Industry. The members of the Commission continue to be appointed by the Governor and the Executive Director of the Commission continues to function as the Secretary of the Commission.

Q: Do I need to use a different type of resin in hot weather to do windshield repairs?
A: The short answer is no. For optimal windshield repairs, you need a resin with the best formulation of the following attributes: viscosity, elasticity, elongation, shrinkage, shore hardness, lap sheer strength, tensile strength, and a refractive index that matches the glass. You also need a resin that's appropriate for the weather conditions you are working in. Delta Kits' MagniBond resin meets all of the standards previously mentioned, and can be used to complete optimal windshield repairs in all types of weather conditions.
What can cause delamination, commonly referred to as "flowering" or the "Daisy Effect?" The three factors are heat, pressure and aged glass. With a Delta Kits I-100 low pressure injection system, you are able to control the pressure and flow of the resin into the break to help avoid flowering. Other injectors using air to force resin into the break are more likely to cause flowering because of the necessity to use higher pressure. If you use that type of system you may need to use a higher viscosity resin in hot weather. For this reason, Delta Kits offers resins of various viscosities to accommodate all windshield repair technicians. However, if you are using a Delta Kits windshield repair system, MagniBond resin is the only resin you need for all weather conditions and all types of windshield damage.
MagniBond resin has less acrylic acid than other resins, making it safer to work with, yet maintains the exceptional bonding strength and durability Delta Kits users have come to expect. Delta Kits has passed the BSI (British Standards Institute) requirements for repair strength, clarity, and durability, with flying colors.
While we're on the subject of warm weather repairs…a few of last month's hot weather tech tips are worth repeating. You can reduce the risk of crack-outs and flowering by following these steps:
- If possible, do your repairs in a climate controlled environment or a shaded area.
- Make sure the glass is between 70-100 degrees Fahrenheit, and that your resin is within 10 degrees Fahrenheit of the glass.
- Do not spray cold water, alcohol or any other cold liquid on the glass. When cooling the windshield, do it gradually and if you must use a liquid try soaking a towel in warm water and laying it across the windshield. The moist towel will draw the heat from the glass quite effectively.
- Use the floor and defroster vents to cool the entire cabin of the car, to minimize the risk of cracking the glass. If you cannot run the car, at least roll down the windows to equalize the inside temperature.
- Use a Delta Kits HX1000 Heat X-Changer for spot cooling.
Using the right resin and taking the proper precautions will make hot weather repairs a breeze!

Dove Medical Press has adopted the CRediT taxonomy and authors are now required to complete the CRediT taxonomy when providing author contributions for all submissions.
What is the CRediT taxonomy?
CRediT is a high-level taxonomy, which includes 14 roles, that can be used to represent the roles typically performed by contributors to scientific scholarly articles. The roles describe each contributor's specific contribution to the scholarly output.
What are the benefits of using the CRediT taxonomy?
Adoption of the CRediT taxonomy is intended to improve accessibility and visibility of the range of contributions to published research outputs. Some of the benefits include:
- Helping to reduce the potential for author disputes
- Supporting adherence to authorship/contributorship processes and policies
- Enabling visibility and recognition of the different contributions of researchers, particularly in multi-authored works – across all aspects of the research being reported (including data curation, statistical analysis, etc.)
- Support identification of peer reviewers and specific expertise
- Improving the ability to track the outputs and contributions of individual research specialists and grant recipients
- Further developments in data management and nano-publication
- Enable new indicators of research value, use and re-use, credit and attribution
Importantly, the CRediT taxonomy is not intended to determine who qualifies as an author. Each author of an article may have one or more CRediT contribution roles but having a role described by the taxonomy does not automatically qualify someone as an author. Authorship is still determined according to our authorship guidelines which are based on the ICMJE requirements.
The 14 roles included in the CRediT taxonomy are:
- Conceptualization – Ideas; formulation or evolution of overarching research goals and aims.
- Data curation – Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), scrub data and maintain research data (including software code, where it is necessary for interpreting the data itself) for initial use and later re-use.
- Formal analysis – Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyse or synthesize study data.
- Funding acquisition – Acquisition of the financial support for the project leading to this publication.
- Investigation – Conducting a research and investigation process, specifically performing the experiments, or data/evidence collection.
- Methodology – Development or design of methodology; creation of models.
- Project administration – Management and coordination responsibility for the research activity planning and execution.
- Resources – Provision of study materials, reagents, materials, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computing resources, or other analysis tools.
- Software – Programming, software development; designing computer programs; implementation of the computer code and supporting algorithms; testing of existing code components.
- Supervision – Oversight and leadership responsibility for the research activity planning and execution, including mentorship external to the core team.
- Validation – Verification, whether as a part of the activity or separate, of the overall replication/reproducibility of results/experiments and other research outputs.
- Visualization – Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work, specifically visualization/data presentation.
- Writing – original draft – Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work, specifically writing the initial draft (including substantive translation).
- Writing – review and editing – Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work by those from the original research group, specifically critical review, commentary or revision – including preor post-publication stages.
