", so much of the
 reason for that concern has been alleviated. In late October, 2014,
 Dave figured out that multi-attach leads to locking problems, so
 the innards are being rewritten to use a :memory: db as the
 permanent "main", and attaching the others.
 Opens or attaches the given db file. zDbName is the
 file name of the DB. role is the role of that db
 in the framework (that determines its db name in SQL).

 The first time this is called, f->dbMain is set to point
 to fsl_cx_db_for_role(f, role).

 If f->dbMain is already set then the db is attached using a
 role-dependent name and role is added to f->dbMain->role's bitmask.

 If f->dbMain is not open then it is opened here and its role is set
 to the given role. It is _also_ ATTACHED using its role name. This
 allows us to publish the names of all Fossil-managed db handles
 regardless of which one is "main". e.g. if repo is opened first, it
 is addressable from SQL as both "main" or "repo".

 The given db zDbName is the name of a database file. If f->dbMain
 is not opened then that db is assigned to the given db file,
 otherwise attach attach zDbName using the name zLabel.

 If pWasAttached is not NULL then it is set to a true value if the
 db gets attached, else a false value. It is only modified on success.

 It is an error to open the same db role more than once, and trying
 to do so results in a FSL_RC_ACCESS error (f's error state is
 updated).

Rahman, M.I (1983) A study of the non-equilibrium response of an mos device subjected to a triangular voltage wave form. Masters thesis, Durham University.
This thesis is concerned with the study of the response of an MOS device subjected to a triangular voltage wave form of such frequency as to take the device into the non-equilibrium mode of operation. A new technique, called the drop-back technique, is developed and used to measure device characteristics, such as the depletion width within the semiconductor bulk region, the generation current and generation rate of bulk traps. A direct plot of surface potential versus the gate voltage is obtained by using an analogue circuit and the results are compared with the similar plot obtained by the dropback technique.

USB powered gas leakage detector alarming system analysis
Published: Mon, 5 Dec 2016
USB powered gas leakage detector alarming system can be used in residential and commercial premises to detect the leakage of the gas and give early signs under less severe conditions and must active the alarm in case of emergency situations in order to safeguard the occupiers and users of those premises, all these can be done through by MQ5 gas sensor and pic18f1320 circuit.
When the gas leakages from the monitoring area then MQ5 gas sensor activates and sense the gas and pass the variable voltage to pic18f1320 circuit. If the gas level normal (1.2 volt to 4 volt) then two led and a buzzer is activated in slow mode for early warning, and if the gas level goes high (volt is high from sensor more than 4 volt) then a led and 2 buzzer is activated in fast mode by the help of pic18f1320 Circuit
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
– According To Specific Gravity Of Natural Gas, Its Specific Gravity Is Lighter Than The Specific Gravity Of Air, And So Natural Gas Suspends On The Ceiling. Therefore, The Alarm Should Be Installed in the Small Area Which is 0.3~1.2 Meter Less than The Ceiling and within Radii 1.5 Meter far From Gas Leakage.
Liquid petroleum Gas: It's Specific Gravity Is Higher than Air, So It Sinks down on the Bottom. Therefore, the alarm should be installed in the area that is 0.3~ 1.2 meters far from ground and within radii 1.5 meter far from gas leakage.
1.1 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT: –
The aim of the project is to save The People from Gas Leakage Accident used in places like Canteen, Houses, Hotels, & Restaurants, as well as in the various industries where Gas is very important for the people who come to Lunch & dinner as well as processes involved in the manufacturing and service industry.
According to the Gas Leakage Detector can be Save Lots of Problems. By using this system, we can also adjust the Regulation of the Gas using Mq5 and.
1.2 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
I used MQ5 gas sensor with the experimental kit. The sensor detect the gas and pass the variable voltage to pic18f1320 and If the gas level is normal lies between 1.2 volt to 4 volt, I activated two led's and a buzzer in slow mode for early warning then if the gas level goes high then I activated a led and 2 buzzer in fast mode it is for high level of gas so I done it for that.
1.3- System Features:-
Type of the various gas detectors:-
Analyzers: Continuous monitoring of toxic gases at ultra low ppb levels directly integrated into life safety systems Fire & Gas: Flame, smoke & gas detectors coupled with sophisticated control solutions for offshore and industrial applications.
Fixed Controller Systems: The control systems behind integrated 'plant-wide' fire and gas detection.
Personal Gas Detection: Effective personal protection from gas hazards, when and where it's needed.
Domestic Gas Detectors
We are engaged in the manufacturing of domestic gas detectors. These products are used in homes for detecting gas leaks & avoiding accidents. Easy to install, these wall-hung detectors have an audio-visual alarm that alerts the client when the gas leak concentration reaches a dangerous level. This gives adequate time to take the necessary actions towards avoiding loss of lives and property. Following are some of the salient features of these detectors
Features: Integral concussion-proof boot Continuous LCD shows real-time gas concentration with backlight in low light (auto); in alarm (auto) and on demand
Waterproof IP 66/67 rating up to 3 ft fully submerged Provides 85 dB tone and bright LED indication on alarm (typical) 3-year battery life (9,000 hours) Available with internal vibrating alarm Equipped with plug-in, replaceable sensor Simple auto-zero and calibration procedure Peak value displayed on command (in ppm or %) TWA (time weighted average) values are recorded and displayed.

Given below are few highlighting features of our productsImprovement Of Products & Its Features Is A Continuous Process.
MQ-5 Semiconductor Sensor for Combustible Gas
Sensitive material of MQ-5 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean air. When the
Target combustible gas exist, the sensor's conductivity is higher along with the gas concentration rising.
MQ-5 gas sensor has high sensitivity to Methane, Propane and Butane, and could be used to detect
both Methane and Propane. The sensor could be used to detect different combustible gas especially
Methane, it is with low cost and suitable for different application.
* Good sensitivity to Combustible gas in wide range
* High sensitivity to Methane, Butane and Propane
* Long life and low cost
* Simple drive circuit
* Domestic gas leakage detector
* Industrial Combustible gas detector
* Portable gas detector
Influence of Temperature/Humidity
Structure and configuration
Structure and configuration of MQ-5 gas sensor is shown as Fig. 3, sensor composed by micro AL2O3 ceramic tube, Tin Dioxide (SnO2) sensitive layer,
Measuring electrode and heater are fixed into a crust made by plastic and stainless steel net. The heater provides necessary work conditions for work of sensitive components. The enveloped MQ-4 has 6 pin, 4 of them are used to fetch signals, and other 2 are used for providing heating current.
1 Following conditions must be prohibited
1.1 Exposed to organic silicon steam
Organic silicon steam cause sensors invalid, sensors must be avoid exposing to silicon bond,
Fixtures, silicon latex, putty or plastic contain silicon environment.
1.2 High Corrosive gas
If the sensors exposed to high concentration corrosive gas (such as H2Sz, SOX¼ŒCl2¼ŒHCl etc), it will not only result in corrosion of sensors structure, also it cause sincere sensitivity attenuation.
1.3 Alkali, Alkali metals salt, halogen pollution
The sensors performance will be changed badly if sensors be sprayed polluted by alkali metals salt
especially brine, or be exposed to halogen such as fluorine.
1.4 Touch water
Sensitivity of the sensors will be reduced when spattered or dipped in water.
Do avoid icing on sensor' surface, otherwise sensor would lose sensitivity.
1.6 Applied voltage higher
Applied voltage on sensor should not be higher than stipulated value, otherwise it cause down-line or
heater damaged, and bring on sensors' sensitivity characteristic changed badly.
1.7 Voltage on wrong pins
For 6 pins sensor, if apply voltage on 1/3 pins or 4/6 pins, it will make lead broken, and without signal when apply on 2/4 pins.
2 Following conditions must be avoided
2.1 Water Condensation
Indoor conditions, slight water condensation will effect sensors performance lightly. However, if water
Condensation on sensors surface and keep a certain period, sensor' sensitivity will be decreased.
2.2 Used in high gas concentration
No matter the sensor is electrified or not, if long time placed in high gas concentration, if will affect sensors characteristic.
2.3 Long time storage
The sensors resistance produce reversible drift if it's stored for long time without electrify, this drift is
related with storage conditions. Sensors should be stored in airproof without silicone gel bag with clean air.
For the sensors with long time storage but no electrify, they need long aging time for stability before using.
2.4 Long time exposed to adverse environment
No matter the sensors electrified or not, if exposed to adverse environment for long time, such as
high humidity, high temperature, or high pollution etc, it will affect the sensors performance badly.
Continual vibration will result in sensors down-lead response then rapture. In transportation or assembling line, pneumatic screwdriver/ultrasonic welding machine can lead this vibration.
If sensors meet strong concussion, it may lead its lead wire disconnected.
For sensor, handmade welding is optimal way. If use wave crest welding should meet the following conditions:
2.7.1 Soldering flux: Rosin soldering flux contains least chlorine
2.7.2 Speed: 1-2 Meter/ Minute
2.7.3 Warm-up temperature¼š100±20â„ƒ
2.7.4 Welding temperature¼š250±10â„ƒ
2.7.5 1 time pass wave crest welding machine
If disobey the above using terms, sensors sensitivity will be reduced.

Alternatively referred to as a Multifunction printer(MFP), AIO is short for All-In-One. It is used to describe a hardware device such as an all-in-one printerthat is a printer, fax, and scanner all in one device. The picture is an example of a Samsung all-in-one printer that is a fax, laser printer, sheetfed scanner, and flatbed scanner.
Advantages of All-In-One devices
- Take up less desk space and room by combining multiple devices (e.g. fax, printer, scanner) into one device.
- Less cords. Since the printer and the scanner are one device the AIO only requires one power cord and usually one data (USB) cable.

Hundreds of thousands of wild flower seedlings are being planted across Northern Ireland thanks to the efforts of prisoners from HMP Magilligan.
Community groups, schools and organisations across Northern Ireland have started planting a variety of wild flower seedlings at hundreds of locations this spring as the build-up to summer gathers pace.
The native wild flower seedlings are being provided by Grow Wild and HM Prison Magilligan in a joint effort to provide active and meaningful work for the inmates whilst also doing something positive in communities across Northern Ireland. Wild flowers will flourish in the summer creating spaces full of colour, beauty and wildlife.
Wild flower seedlings have already been planted at CAFRE's Greenmount College, where students are introducing them to their wildlife garden, the green roofs of Creggan Country Park, Londonderry, boosting the colour in the Cornfield Project, Coleraine, PeasPark and other community gardens in Belfast and 30 primary schools across the Causeway Coast and Glens area including St Aidan's in Magilligan.
Stéphanie Baine, Grow Wild's Northern Ireland Partnership Manager, said: "These germinated seedlings are very popular because they provide many benefits to people, pollinators and wildlife across Northern Ireland. We find that people get together in their local community or school to plant the seedlings, encouraging them to get active outdoors. And the seedlings will provide essential nectar sources for pollinators when they flower."
Austin Treacy, Governor of Magilligan, said: "The space and workforce at Magilligan complex is entirely suited to helping this great project. I am delighted that our work has helped so many communities and schools across the province.
More wild flower seedlings will be available in May and can be planted to inject colour into spaces along the main roads, in parks, and community areas across the region this summer. Contact _EMAIL_ if your school or group would be interested in getting involved.

This dissertation explores nonmetric sexual dimorphism and cranial nonmetric variability in 1,397 modern Japanese and Thai individuals between the ages of 17 and 96 years.
The author of this dissertation seeks to address a gap in research by testing assumptions, based on a distantly shared genetic history, that Native Americans and Asians are homogenous and share nonmetric sexually dimorphic skeletal features and a unique suite of cranial traits that can be used in ancestry assessment. The research study explored nonmetric sexual dimorphism and cranial nonmetric variability in 1,397 modern Japanese and Thai individuals from 17 to 96 years of age. The study had two stated objectives: to test and refine the methods based on 15 traits used to predict sex from the cranium, pelvis, clavicle, and humerus that were developed on non-Asian populations; and to establish 36 cranial and mandibular trait frequencies to determine if the Japanese and Thai differ from each other and Native Americans in trait expressions. Results indicated several things: that population-specific sex assessment methods performed better in classifying the Japanese and Thai compared to those developed in non-Asian populations, and produced correct classification rates of 66 to 98 percent; the majority of cranial and mandibular traits used in ancestry assessment significantly differed in frequency between the Japanese and Thai, resulting in correct classification rates of 60 to 90 percent; and that Japanese and Thai are different from Native Americans in the expression of nonmetric traits. The author notes, however, that sex, age, population, intraobserver error, and secular change affected many nonmetric traits and complicated their use in sex and ancestry assessment. The author reports that Japanese, Thai, and Native Americans are not skeletally homogenous, and that this research highlights the importance of developing population-specific biological profile methods for diverse Asian populations.

In many Western countries, the relative weight of people - measured by the Body Mass Index (BMI) - has increased substantially in recent years, leading to an increasing incidence of overweight and related health problems. As with many forms of risky behavior, it is plausible that overweight is related to the individual discount rate. Increases in credit card debts, the rise in gambling and the development of a more hedonic life style, suggest that the average discount rate has increased over time. This increase may have been the cause of the increase in BMI. Applying a large set of indicators for the individual discount rate, this paper analyzes whether changes in time discounting can account for differences in body mass between individuals at a given point in time and whether changes in the average individual discount rate can explain the remarkable increase in BMI experienced in recent years. We find some evidence for a link between time discounting and differences in BMI between people, but this relationship depends strongly on the choice of the proxy for the discount rate. Giving our hypothesis the best chance, we analyze the development of the time discounting proxies that are most strongly related to BMI. We find no evidence for a change of these proxies over time. Our main conclusion therefore is that overweight might be related to the way people discount future health benefits, but the increase in BMI has to be explained by shifts in other parameters that determine the intertemporal decisions regarding the trade-off of current and future health and satisfaction.

I can't read the details of this machine but I would guess it's about 1935 and possibly 350cc.
Coventry-Eagle was a British motorcycle manufacturer. Established as a Victorian bicycle maker, the company began under the name of Hotchkiss, Mayo & Meek. The company name was changed to Coventry Eagle in 1897 when John Meek left the company . By 1898 they had begun to experiment with motorised vehicles and by 1899, had produced their first motorcycle. The motorcycles were hand built from components and finished carefully, Coventry-Eagle motorcycles proved reliable and by the First World War the range included Villiers_Engineering and JAP engines.
During the early 1920s, the models changed depending on what engines were available and the company swapped between four engine manufacturers. The model Flying 8 was probably the most iconic bike of its time and bore a resemblance to the contemporary Brough Superior. During the depression of the 1930s, the company concentrated on producing two-strokes. Production continued until the start of the Second World War in 1939.

'Network Distance Based on Laplacian Flow on Graphs"
Distance between objects plays an important role in spectral clustering and machine learning. In this talk, we focus on proposing a distance between network objects. We first introduce a dynamic system on graphs called Laplacian flow. Based on this Laplacian flow, a new version of diffusion distance between networks is proposed. We will demonstrate the utility of the distance and its advantage over various existing distances such as Hamming distance through explicit examples. The distance is also applied for learning tasks such as for clustering network objects.

Study: Coronavirus hits those with low incomes hardest
© Belga
People on low incomes suffer the effects of Covid-19 more than those with more means, according to a survey carried out by the medical insurer Socialist Mutualities (MS).
The study looked at the figures for excess mortality in the period from mid-March to mid-May, roughly the time of the nationwide lockdown. During that period, about 50% more people died than would be expected for the time of year – deaths which can be attributed to the virus.
That corresponds to 9,000 more deaths in the nine weeks studied than the average for the five previous years.
Looking more closely into the figures, the study found that the excess mortality disproportionally affected people on lower incomes. People who were relatively well off saw an increase overall of 45%.
The MS covers about 30% of the Belgian population for health insurance.
Firstly, the major factor influencing the number of fatalities was the age of those infected. Of those who died, 53% were aged over 85, and another 29.1% aged between 75 and 84. And two-thirds of the excess mortality was among the population of the care homes. By contrast, elderly people living at home suffered an excess mortality of 'only' 28%.
However when the residents of care homes were take out of the calculation, it was found that excess mortality among the less well-off was 45%, and among the better-off only 15%.
Paul Callewaert, general secretary of the MS, explained how that difference might come about.
They often live in poorer living conditions, with more people close together," he said.
They therefore run a greater risk of contamination. They are also more likely to live in isolation, and perhaps received less information about Covid and how to deal with it."
In addition, people on lower incomes tend to have poorer health in general across the board – more obesity, smoking, excess alcohol and so on. They are less likely to go to the doctor, so that any conditions that emerge are less likely to be dealt with in a timely fashion, or indeed treated at all.

Error when Instantiating Phase in Unit
I'm trying to add a phase to a batch unit. The phase was copied from an existing phase which has already been instantiated and downloaded without any issues. I changed the name of the new phase and the short name. However when I try to instantiate the phase in the Unit I get the following error:
"Only formal instance objects are allowed as children".
I have checked the phase for errors and consistency without any issues being highlighted.
Any help would be much appreciated.
System 800xA SV5.1 FP4 RevD
Voted best answer
As a general principle, if the phase you "copied" is the same as the original, then you really should be using the original, not a copy. If the phases are very similar, then it may be worth writing the phase in such a way it can be used in both units.
Anyway, I assume you've modified the code. It sounds like something odd happened when you originally copied the phase. The "formal instance" implies an issue with the way your phase has been created in the object type structure. ( formal instance definitions are used by the 800xA system to describe how library objects should be instatiated in other structures) Did you paste the copy into the same library or a new library? Where is the unit that are you trying to instantiate the phase into - Object Type structure or Control structure? (The short name is related to how OPC paths are set up by the batch server and should not be related to instantiating the phase )
Can you post some screen shots of your object type structure and control structure as well as the exact message you are getting?

You can use the contour package for this. If you load it with the outline option, you'll get "proper" outlines (as opposed to several offset copies of your text).

Another alternative is package pdfrender:
 - It needs pdfTeX or LuaTeX in PDF mode.
 - It works for Type 1 fonts by changing their rendering mode, thus PK fonts or rules are not supported.
 - Paragraphs, line breaks and even page breaks are supported.
 - Works with LaTeX or plain TeX based formats.
 - Available both as switch \pdfrender and as macro \textpdfrender similar to \textcolor.
Example file:
}{Hello World}

Oh, that looks interesting! Three questions: 1. Is there a way to put the stroke behind the text (thick strokes will otherwise drown out the fill colour)? 2. It seems that \pdfrender acts as a switch, changing the drawing style for all text that follows. Is there a way to apply the style only to a selected text segment? 3. Do you see a way of applying the pdfrender style to things like fraction lines (see tex.stackexchange.com/questions/8602/…)? – Jake Dec 5 '12 at 13:47

_USER_ Ad 1.: You could put the fill variant over the stroke variant. But this looses line and page breaks. Ad 2.: Mistake, fixed, use \textpdfrender.

It's no surprise that constant stress can make people sick, and now a team of researchers has figured out how.
A study focused on 119 men and women who were taking care of spouses with dementia. The health of the caregivers was compared with that of 106 people of similar ages who were not living under the stress of constant care giving. Blood tests showed that a chemical called Interleukin-6 sharply increased in the blood of the stressed caregivers compared with blood of the others in the test. Previous studies have associated IL-6 with several diseases, including heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, type-2 diabetes and certain cancers.
The study also found the increase in IL-6 can linger in caregivers for as long as three years after a caregiver had ceased that role because of the spouse's death. Of the test group, 78 spouses died during the survey.
This really makes a link to why chronic stress can actually kill people. Researchers explained that people under stress tend to respond by doing things that can increase their levels of IL-6.
For example, they may smoke or overeat; smoking raises IL-6 levels, and the chemical is secreted by fat cells. Stressed people also may not get enough exercise or sleep, they added. Exercise reduces IL-6, they said, and normal sleep helps regulate levels of the chemical.
Thus it clearly points to the need to control stress better.

Horticultural Crop Research & Development Institute
| Main | Services | Programme | Staff | Organogram | News & Events | Divisions |
The Horticultural Crop Research and Development Institute (HORDI) is vested with the responsibility of technology development concerning vegetables, fruits, root and tuber crops and floriculture. The research programme focuses on the development of improved crop varieties, new propagation methods, post harvest and food processing methods, the use of protected culture and ensuring better plant health with fewer defendants on chemicals.
Achieve excellence through development of horticultural crops for prosperity of the nation.
Function as the national centre for research and development of sustainable and productive technologies for horticultural crops to ensure economic and social development ofthe farmers, and other stakeholders.
The aim of HORDI is to generate and disseminate cost effective, eco-friendly and sustainable technologies that will increase productivity, improve quality, reduce post harvest losses and add value to the products of mandated horticultural crops such as fruits, vegetables, root and tubers and ornamental crops while ensuring sustainable use of natural resources.
History of HORDI
The Department of Agriculture was established in 1912 and the Division of Research was one of its important sections that provide scientific information for establishment of major plantation crops, tea, rubber coconut and other plants of economic and ornamental importance.
Three separate institutions for tea, rubber and coconut were established and thereafter the Division of Research in the Department of agriculture placed the emphasis on peasant agriculture and established the Central Agricultural Research Institute.
The foundation stone for new laboratories of the Central Agricultural Research Institute was laid in Gannoruwa on 21 June 1958 by the Honorable S.W.R.D Bandranayake. Honorable Dudley Senanayaka, late Prime Minister of Ceylon, formally declared the Institute open on 6th August 1967. Apart from the administrative Headquarters housed in the institute, there were Research divisions of Agricultural Botany, Agricultural Chemistry, Plant Pathology, Entomology, Horticulture, Food technology, Minor plantation crops, Tobacco & soil conservation and Statistics.
With re-structure of the Department of Agriculture, three national Institutes were formed in 1994 to conduct research and development activities on horticulture, rice & field crops. The Central Agriculture Research Institute at Gannoruwa was renamed as Horticultural Crop Research and Development Institute to carryout efficient and intensive research & development work on horticulture.

text: Takase Flood Diversion Channel is usually closed by a sluice gate to retain freshwater creating domestic water sources, and to prevent saltwater intrusion to the lake, at the end of the channel. Closed time of the sluice gate creates a good condition for sand bar formation at the channel entrance under the action of waves. Basing on the conditions of waves and water depth at the entrance of the Takase Flood Diversion Channel as well as combination with the classification of sand bar formation in the previous researches (Nguyen (2005), (2006) and Tanaka (2005)), a demarcation between emergence and submergence of sand bar formation was proposed via the dimensionless water depth at the mouth. This paper shows that emerged sand bar forms certainly at the channel entrance in the winter with a present river mouth depth. In order to limit influences of sand bar on the operation of the channel entrance, water depth at the entrance should be larger as a result sand bar forming under the water level, when sluice gate is opened, the flow in the channel could flush the bar easily.

Snapdragon Neural Processing Engine SDK
Reference Guide
Running the AlexNet Model
Overview
The example C++ application in this tutorial is called snpe-net-run. It is a command line executable that executes a neural network using SNPE SDK APIs.
The required arguments to snpe-net-run are:
 - A neural network model in the DLC file format
 - An input list file with paths to the input data.
Optional arguments to snpe-net-run are:
 - Choice of GPU or DSP runtime (default is CPU)
 - Output directory (default is ./output)
 - Show help description
snpe-net-run creates and populates an output directory with the results of executing the neural network on the input data.
SNPE
The SNPE SDK provides Linux and Android binaries of snpe-net-run under
 - $SNPE_ROOT/bin/x86_64-linux-clang
 - $SNPE_ROOT/bin/arm-android-clang6.0
 - $SNPE_ROOT/bin/aarch64-android-clang6.0
 - $SNPE_ROOT/bin/aarch64-oe-linux-gcc6.4
 - $SNPE_ROOT/bin/arm-oe-linux-gcc6.4hf
Prerequisites
Introduction
The AlexNet imagenet classification model is trained to classify images with 1000 labels. The examples below shows the steps required to execute a pretrained AlexNet model with snpe-net-run to classify a set of sample images.
Run on Linux Host
Go to the base location for the model and run snpe-net-run
cd $SNPE_ROOT/models/alexnet
snpe-net-run --container dlc/bvlc_alexnet.dlc --input_list data/cropped/raw_list.txt
After snpe-net-run completes, verify that the results are populated in the $SNPE_ROOT/models/alexnet/output directory. There should be one or more .log files and several Result_X directories, each containing a prob.raw file.
One of the inputs is data/cropped/chairs.raw and it was created from data/cropped/chairs.jpg which looks like the following.
SNPE
With this input file, snpe-net-run created the output file $SNPE_ROOT/models/alexnet/output/Result_0/prob.raw. It holds the output tensor data of 1000 probabilities for the 1000 categories. The element with the highest value represents the top classification. We can use a python script to interpret the classification results as follows.
python3 $SNPE_ROOT/models/alexnet/scripts/show_alexnet_classifications.py -i data/cropped/raw_list.txt \
 -o output/ \
 -l data/ilsvrc_2012_labels.txt
The output should look like the following, showing classification results for all the images.
Classification results
<input_files_dir>/trash_bin.raw 0.949348 412 ashcan, trash can, garbage can,
 wastebin, ash bin, ash-bin, ashbin,
 dustbin, trash barrel, trash bin
<input_files_dir>/plastic_cup.raw 0.749104 647 measuring cup
<input_files_dir>/chairs.raw 0.365685 831 studio couch, day bed
<input_files_dir>/notice_sign.raw 0.722708 458 brass, memorial tablet, plaque
Note: The <input_files_dir> above maps to a path such as /local/mnt/workspace/XXX/snpe-x.y.z/models/alexnet/data/cropped/
The second output shows the image was classified as "measuring cup" (index 647 of the labels) with a probability of 0.749104. Look at the rest of the output to see the model's classification on other images.
Binary data input
Note that the AlexNet image classification model does not accept jpg files as input. The model expects its input tensor dimension to be 227x227x3 as a float array, see Input Images for more detail. The scripts/setup_alexnet.py script performed a jpg to binary data conversion by calling scripts/create_alexnet_raws.py. The scripts are an example of how jpg images can be preprocessed to generate input for the AlexNet model.
Usage for create_alexnet_raws.py
Please put your *.jpg files to a folder in advance. For instance, input_pictures.
cd $SNPE_ROOT/models/alexnet
python scripts/create_alexnet_raws.py -i scripts/input_pictures \
 -o scripts/output \
 -m data/ilsvrc_2012_mean.npy
Before execute snpe-net-run, please make sure a correct raw_list.txt corresponding to your new output folder.
Run on Android Target
Select target architecture
SNPE provides Android binaries for armeabi-v7a and arm64-v8a architectures. For each architecture, there binaries are compiled with clang6.0 using libc++ STL implementation. The following shows the commands to select the desired binaries.
# architecture: armeabi-v7a - compiler: clang - STL: libc++
export SNPE_TARGET_ARCH=arm-android-clang6.0
export SNPE_TARGET_STL=libc++_shared.so
# architecture: arm64-v8a - compiler: clang - STL: libc++
export SNPE_TARGET_ARCH=aarch64-android-clang6.0
export SNPE_TARGET_STL=libc++_shared.so
For simplicity, this tutorial sets the target binaries to arm-android-clang6.0, which use libc++_shared.so, for commands on host and on target.
Push binaries to target
Push SNPE libraries and the prebuilt snpe-net-run executable to /data/local/tmp/snpeexample on the Android target.
export SNPE_TARGET_ARCH=arm-android-clang6.0
export SNPE_TARGET_STL=libc++_shared.so
adb shell "mkdir -p /data/local/tmp/snpeexample/$SNPE_TARGET_ARCH/bin"
adb shell "mkdir -p /data/local/tmp/snpeexample/$SNPE_TARGET_ARCH/lib"
adb shell "mkdir -p /data/local/tmp/snpeexample/dsp/lib"
adb push $SNPE_ROOT/lib/$SNPE_TARGET_ARCH/$SNPE_TARGET_STL \
 /data/local/tmp/snpeexample/$SNPE_TARGET_ARCH/lib
adb push $SNPE_ROOT/lib/$SNPE_TARGET_ARCH/*.so \
 /data/local/tmp/snpeexample/$SNPE_TARGET_ARCH/lib
adb push $SNPE_ROOT/lib/dsp/*.so \
 /data/local/tmp/snpeexample/dsp/lib
adb push $SNPE_ROOT/bin/$SNPE_TARGET_ARCH/snpe-net-run \
 /data/local/tmp/snpeexample/$SNPE_TARGET_ARCH/bin
Set up enviroment variables
Set up the library path, the path variable, and the target architecture in adb shell to run the executable with the -h argument to see its description.
adb shell
export SNPE_TARGET_ARCH=arm-android-clang6.0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/data/local/tmp/snpeexample/$SNPE_TARGET_ARCH/lib
export PATH=$PATH:/data/local/tmp/snpeexample/$SNPE_TARGET_ARCH/bin
snpe-net-run -h
exit
Push model data to Android target
To execute the AlexNet classification model on your Android target follow these steps:
cd $SNPE_ROOT/models/alexnet
mkdir data/rawfiles && cp data/cropped/*.raw data/rawfiles/
adb shell "mkdir -p /data/local/tmp/alexnet"
adb push data/rawfiles /data/local/tmp/alexnet/cropped
adb push data/target_raw_list.txt /data/local/tmp/alexnet
adb push dlc/bvlc_alexnet.dlc /data/local

The problem is that $2$ and $3$ have $2$ "smallest possible upperbounds" but they are not comparable so they don't have a join. Similarly, $4$ and $5$ don't have a meet.
Hope that helps,

Remember for example that $4\wedge 5$ will be the unique greatest lower bound for 4 and 5. Now 2 and 3 are both lower bounds, so $4\wedge 5 $ above those.. but how could that be possible? There isn't such a node...

Trevelyan, George (1795 -1871)
This stamp is found on books still at Nettlecombe Court, and Clements states that it is that of the Reverend George Trevelyan, eldest son of the Venerable George Trevelyan, third son of Sir John Trevelyan, 4th Baronet of Nettlecombe, and Harriet, daughter of Sir Richard Neave 1st Baronet. He was educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford, where he matriculated 5 June 1813, age seventeen. He took his B.A. in 1818, and his M.A. in 1820. He became Vicar of Milverton Prima with the chapelry of Langford Budville _PHONE_; Rector of Treborough in Somerset 1828; and Vicar of Stogumber in Somerset from 1821 to 1871, He married, Frances Anne, only daughter of Lieutenant Colonel Lumsden. He died sine prole in 1871. Clements must have had some reason for assigning the stamp specifically to the Reverend George Trevelyan. The stamp appears to be of the seventeenth century, and has only been seen on seventeenth century books. If Clements were mistaken, it would seem to be the stamp of John Trevelyan (d. 1623) High Sheriff of Somerset 16 James I, who rebuilt the mansion house of Nettlecombe. He was the son of John Trevelyan of Trevelyan (d. 1577) and Wilmot, daughter of John Harris of Havne, Serjeant at Law. He married Urith, daughter of Sir John Chichester of Ralegh.

Why turkey has the same name as Turkey
in ancient Egyptian religion, the personification of one of the attributes of the creator god Re-Atum; the term is usually translated as "magic," or "magical power," though its exact meaning pertains to cult practice as well. Heka was believed to accompany Re in his solar boat on its daily trip across the heavens; it could also be given to and used by common men. The Egyptians believed that heka was the primordial force present at the creation of the world, that it could be summoned up during the observance of religious ritual, and that its chief function was the preservation of the natural world order

text: This paper explores the application of Inelastic Nonlinear Buckling Analysis (INBA) with Stiffness Reduction Factors (SRFs) in the analysis of web-tapered I sections, a structural configuration known for its non-uniform geometry. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of the SABRE2-V2 software, the study investigates the direct load capacity of members and frames, focusing on the implications for structural efficiency and steel material utilization. The inclusion of fixed brace conditions at the midpoint of the beam member, with non-uniform bending, expands the applicability of INBA to complex configurations. The research validates the analytical methods through comparison with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with four cases that includes different taper angle, achieving an average 98.6% consistency. The study unveils a characteristic S-shaped buckling pattern influenced by strategically placed braces, providing valuable insights into stability and performance optimization. Furthermore, INBA coupled with SRFs elucidates yielding patterns within the member, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of load-carrying behavior and potential failure mechanisms. The findings support the broader adoption of INBA for web-tapered I sections, offering engineers reliable tools for enhanced structural analysis and design. The paper concludes with implications for future research, suggesting exploration of varied taper angles, loading conditions, and material properties.

This dataset contains high-resolution (5-minute) discharge, turbidity, suspended sediment concentration, and total phosphorus concentration data measured at three stream sites in the Littlestock Brook catchment (a tributary of the River Evenlode) from 2017 to 2021. The turbidity and concentration data were derived from a combination of instream sensors and lab-analysed water samples. Discharge data were derived using a stage-discharge rating curve constructed from manual measurements of flow velocity and water level sensor measurements. This dataset was collected by UKCEH as part of a hydrological monitoring programme for the Littlestock Brook Natural Flood Management scheme. There are some periods of data gaps within the timeseries as a result of sensor errors which have been excluded. These data may be used to calculate suspended sediment and phosphorus fluxes loads leaving the catchment.

- Products for Wiser Living
In Vegetable Literacy, Deborah Madison reveals the surprising relationships between vegetables, edible flowers and herbs within the same botanical families, and how understanding these connections can help home cooks see everyday vegetables in a new light.
This groundbreaking new cookbook celebrates the diversity of the plant kingdom. Destined to become the new standard reference for cooking vegetables, it shows cooks that, because of their shared characteristics, vegetables within the same family can be used interchangeably in cooking. It presents an entirely new way of looking at vegetables, drawing on Madison's deep knowledge of cooking, gardening and botany. For example, knowing that dill, chervil, cumin, parsley, coriander, anise, lovage and caraway come from the umbellifer family makes it clear why they're such good matches for carrots, also a member of that family. With more than 300 classic and exquisitely simple recipes, Madison brings this wealth of information together in dishes that highlight a world of complementary flavors. The recipes showcase combinations that are simultaneously familiar and revelatory, such as:
Inspiring improvisation in the kitchen and curiosity in the garden, Vegetable Literacy will forever change the way we eat and cook.

Validation and verification are important activities when working with models. Validation means checking external consistency, i.e. that a model corresponds to what it models (usually the real world), whereas verification means checking internal consistency, i.e. that the model isn't contradicting itself. Validation in Ecore relies on capturing knowledge about a domain in the form of constraints, so that you can check that an actual object structure that conforms to a model, also satisfies additional constraints in the domain.
Introduction
Suppose you are modelling an organisation with organisational units (OrgUnit), employees (Person) and roles (Role), and you want to capture the fact that people names can only have letters, spaces and dashes (-), and all OrgUnit should have a manager, i.e. an employee with a role labeled 'manager'. The first rule can be checked by hand-editing the setter-method for the name, but it may be better to somehow indicate that a rules is violated, rather than throwing an exception. The second rule can be easily coded, but it is more difficult to ensure the code is always run when relevant object properties are changed, since several objects and properties are involved. A related problem is how to handle step-wise modelling, since the second rule necessarily will be violated while the model is built, it doesn't make sense to consider it an error that should be prevented. Instead, you can check it at a point when you consider yourself done.
As mentioned in the Ecore page, an Ecore model can be thought of as a way of constraining what objects structures are legal. By using types and multiplicity you can constrain what objects can be linked and how many, but there are still many constraints that cannot be captured with the concepts available in Ecore. To support such constraints, like the ones above, Ecore provides a mechanism for validation that supports both hand-written Java code and interpreted queries using languages like OCL. Ecore's mechanism relies on separating constraints from the checks that are part of the core model and enforced in the generated code. A validator object (EValidator instance) is created and is asked to validate all constraints for a particular object tree, and so-called diagnostic objects report any violations. The standard editors use this mechanism, and mark all invalid objects with a red (error) or yellow (warning) marker, depending on the severity.
Implementing constraints
Ecore supports three ways of providing/implementing constraints
 - rules provided in ExtendedMetaData annotations
 - logic provided in Java code
 - interpreted expressions written in one of many supported languages.
Constraints provided in ExtendedMetaData annotations
A limited set of constraints on data types (EDataType) kan be provided by using so-called ExtendedMetaData annotations, e.g. a pattern for a String-based data type. See _URL_
Constraints implemented in Java code
The Java code variant relies on genmodel's ability to generate a validator subclass with methods for each constraint. Adding and using such a constraint is done in four steps:
Step 1: Add an EAnnotation to the appropriate EClass.
Right-click on the EClass in the editor and add an EAnnotation. Set the source attribute to _URL_ Then add a key/value pair, with constraints as the key and the logical name of the constraint (a valid Java name) as the value. If you need to add several constraints, separate their names by a space.
Step 2: Generate code and locate the validation method stub(s)
Genmodel will generate an EValidator subclass in the util package with one method for each constraints (if there are any) named validator_<constraint name>. The method body contains template code for adding a diagnostic for a violated constraint with ERROR severity. The condition is initially false and needs to be replaced by the real constraint logic. An example of the generated stub is shown right.

Step 3: Implement the constraint logic in Java
The false condition has been replaced by a call to the hasOnlyNameCharacters helper method. You may also lower the severity if the constraint is more of a suggestion. Notice how NOT is added after @generated, to indicate that we've change generated code. This will prevent the code from being overwritten if the class is regenerated.
 /**
 * Validates the nameCharacters constraint of 'Person'.
 *
 *
 * @generated NOT
 */
 public boolean validatePerson_nameCharacters(Person person, ...) {
 if (! hasOnlyNameCharacters(person.getName())) {
 if (diagnostics != null) {
 ...
 }
 return false;
 }
 return true;
 }
 private boolean hasOnlyNameCharacters(String name) {
 for (int i = 0; i < name.length(); i++) {
 char c = name.charAt(i);
 if (! (Character.isLetter(c) || c == ' ' || c == '-')) {
 return false;
 }
 }
 return true;
 }
Step 4: Make the implementation available for the editor
Since the constraint logic is implemented in Java code that must be compiled, you need to either launch another Eclipse or install the EMF project in the same Eclipse, to make the constraint available in an editor.

Interpreted constraints
As an alternative to Java code that must be compiled, you can use an interpreted expression language like OCL for coding constraints. The advantage is a shorter development cycle, the downside is slightly more complex configuration. And of course, there are both advantages and disadvantages of expression languages. Note that the available languages depend on what plugins are installed in Eclipse. OCL support is not part of the standard modelling package, so must be installed from the standard Eclipse installation site. There are several OCL interpreters available, two come with the standard OCL project, and one in the Acceleo Query SDK (easiest to use standalone).
Adding and using an interpreted constraint is done in three steps (note that the OCLinEcore Editor provides a custom textual syntax for Ecore including constraints, see Editing Ecore models):
Step 1: Add an EAnnotation for using OCL for validation to the EPackage.
Support for using OCL for validation must be explicitly indicated with an EAnnotation on the EPackage. Right-click on the EClass in the editor and add an EAnnotation. Set the source attribute to _URL_ and add a key/value pair, with validationDelegates as the key and a language-specific identifier as the value, e.g. _URL_ for the standard OCL support. If you have installed Acceleo (part of Sirius) and prefer the Acceleo Query Language (AQL) you can use _URL_
Step 2: Add an EAnnotation to the appropriate EClass.
This step is the same as step 1 in the previous section: Add an EAnnotation with the source attribute set to _URL_ and a key/value pair, with constraints as the key and the logical names of the constraints separated by a space.

Step 3: Add an EAnnotation for the constraint expression.
This step links the validationDelegate from step 1 to the constraint in step 2: Add another EAnnotation to the EClass, where the source attribute is the same language identifier as above, i.e. the value for the validationDelegate key of step 1. Then add key/value pairs for each constraint, with the constraint name as the key and the OCL expression for the constraint as the value.
An example is shown in the figure to the right. The OCL expression is executed with an OrgUnit instance as self and computes the set of workers with the role of a manager and checks if its size is 1. It can be a bit tricky to formulate the correct expression, and many language installations provide a custom interpreter view for experimenting. E.g. OCL has a special OCL Console and Sirius has an Interpreter view that support evaluating both OCL and AQL expressions on the current selection in the active editor.

Rural Connectivity Technologies Cost Analysis
Rural areas of Tanzania are still disadvantaged in terms of diffusion of IP-based services; this is due to lack of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructures, especially lack of connectivity. One of the limitations for connectivity problems in rural areas of Tanzania is the high cost to establish infrastructures for IP-based services [1-2]. However the cost of connectivity varies from one technology to the other and at the same time, the cost is also different from one operator (service provider) to another within the country. This paper presents development of software system to calculate cost of connectivity to rural areas of Tanzania. The system is developed to make an easy access of connectivity cost from different technologies and different operators. The development of the calculator follows the V-model software development lifecycle. The calculator is used to evaluate the economic viability of different technologies considered as being potential candidates to provide rural connectivity. In this paper, the evaluation is based on the techno-economic analysis approach.

Python: Compute the radius and the central coordinate (x, y) of a circle which is constructed by three given points on the plane surface
Python Basic - 1: Exercise-39 with Solution
Write a program to compute the radius and the central coordinate (x, y) of a circle which is constructed from three given points on the plane surface.
Input:
x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3 separated by a single space.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
# Prompt the user to input three coordinates of the circle
print("Input three coordinates of the circle:")
x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3 = map(float, input().split())
# Calculate distances between points
c = (x1 - x2)**2 + (y1 - y2)**2
a = (x2 - x3)**2 + (y2 - y3)**2
b = (x3 - x1)**2 + (y3 - y1)**2
# Calculate the cross-product
s = 2 * (a * b + b * c + c * a) - (a**2 + b**2 + c**2)
# Calculate the central coordinate of the circle
px = (a * (b + c - a) * x1 + b * (c + a - b) * x2 + c * (a + b - c) * x3) / s
py = (a * (b + c - a) * y1 + b * (c + a - b) * y2 + c * (a + b - c) * y3) / s
# Calculate the radius of the circle
ar = a**0.5
br = b**0.5
cr = c**0.5
r = ar * br * cr / ((ar + br + cr) * (-ar + br + cr) * (ar - br + cr) * (ar + br - cr))**0.5
# Print the radius and central coordinate of the circle
print("Radius of the said circle:")
print("{:>.3f}".format(r))
print("Central coordinate (x, y) of the circle:")
print("{:>.3f}".format(px), "{:>.3f}".format(py))
Sample Output:
Input three coordinate of the circle:
 9 3 6 8 3 6
Radius of the said circle:
3.358
Central coordinate (x, y) of the circle:
6.071 4.643
Explanation:
The above Python code takes as input three pairs of coordinates representing the points on a circle. It then calculates the radius and central coordinate of the circle based on these input coordinates using geometric formulas. Here's a step-by-step explanation:
 - Input Coordinates:
 - The user is prompted to input three pairs of coordinates (x, y) representing points on a circle.
 - Calculate Distances:

How do we talk to children about the current refugee crisis? Books can be a great place to start! The following books tell the stories of children forced to leave home. While talking to children about serious subjects can be hard, reading these titles together, talking about them, and making connections to your children's own experiences can make it much easier.

Restoring a Domain Controller Through Reinstallation
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
Restoring a domain controller through reinstallation is the same process as creating a new domain controller. It does not involve restoring from backup media. This method relies on Active Directory replication to restore a domain controller to a working state, and it is valid only if another healthy domain controller exists in the same domain. This method is normally used on computers that function only as a domain controller.
Restoring through reinstallation is the only method by which a domain controller that is not part of the backup set can be restored. In addition, you might choose to use this method instead of a nonauthoritative restore because backup media is inaccessible or because this method is more convenient. Restoring a domain controller through reinstallation should not be a substitute for regular backup routines.
This method of restoring a domain controller requires a complete reinstallation of the operating system. It is recommended that before you install the operating system, you format the entire system disk, which will remove all information on the system disk. Ensure that any important or relevant data is moved or backed up before you perform these actions.
Bandwidth is the primary consideration for restoring a domain controller through reinstallation. The bandwidth that is required is directly proportional to the size of the Active Directory database and the time in which the domain controller is required to be in a functioning state. Ideally, the existing functional domain controller should be located in the same Active Directory site as the replicating domain controller (the new domain controller) to reduce the impact on the network and the time that the reinstallation takes to complete.
Note
Before you restore a domain controller through reinstallation, ensure that hardware failure is not the cause of the problem. If faulty hardware is not changed, restoring through reinstallation might not solve the problems with the domain controller.
Task requirements
The following tools are required to perform the procedures for this task:
 - Ntdsutil.exe
 - Netdiag.exe
 - Dcdiag.exe
 - Dcpromo.exe
To complete this task, perform the following procedures:
 1. If you plan to give the newly reinstalled domain controller the same name as the failed computer, use the following procedure to clean up server metadata to remove the NTDS Settings object of the failed domain controller:
 Clean up server metadata
 If you plan to give the new domain controller a different name, in addition to cleaning up server metadata, perform the following additional procedures:
 Delete a Server object from a site
 Delete a Computer object from the Domain Controllers OU
 2. Install Windows Server 2003
 It is assumed that you will perform a fresh installation of Windows Server 2003. Prepare for installation of the operating system by partitioning or reformatting your hard disk drive, if necessary.
 3. Verify DNS registration and functionality
 4. Verify communication with other domain controllers
 5. Verify the availability of the operations masters
 6. Install Active Directory
 During the installation process, replication occurs, which ensures that the domain controller has an accurate and up-to-date copy of Active Directory. You have the option to use the same information for this domain controller as the domain controller that it is replacing: site placement, domain controller name, and domain membership should remain the same. If you plan to install the domain controller under a different name, see Installing a Domain Controller in an Existing Domain.
 7. Verifying Active Directory Installation

The Heavy Photon Search (HPS) is a new experiment at Jefferson Laboratory to search for heavy photons, a particle predicted by dark matter and dark energy extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics, in the mass range of 20 MeV/c2 to 1000 MeV/c2 . The experiment also has the potential to discover true muonium, a bound state of a muon and an antimuon that is predicted to exist, but has never been observed. The true muonium atom should be produced by an electron beam incident on a target, such as the tungsten target used in the HPS experiment. Similar to the decay of the heavy photon, a triplet state of true muonium will decay to an electron-positron pair, allowing it to be detected in the same way. Since the mass of the atom will be about twice the mass of a muon, or approximately 211 MeV/c2 , and the decay length is expected to be on the order of centimeters, a precise search window can be specified. Simulations of this experiment were performed and an analysis was carried out to calculate how well we can expect to observe true muonium. Based on this analysis, the Heavy Photon Search will have a reconstruction efficiency of 16-20 %, and will be able to observe and fully reconstruct approximately 35 events after a month of running with a 6.6 MeV electron beam. As a result, the true muonium signal is expected to be statistically significant above the background signal.

Spring gobbler season is coming up. Here are a few safety tips:
1. Positively Identify Your Target
Be certain the bird is fully and plainly visible before pulling the trigger. Do not shoot at sounds or movement.
2. Never Stalk a Turkey
Movement or sounds you think are a turkey may be another hunter. Be patient and let the bird come to you.
3. Protect your back
Select a large tree, rock or other natural barrier while calling. Hunt in open woods.
4. Shout "STOP" to alert approaching hunters
Never move, wave or make turkey sounds to alert others of your position.
5. Dress to be safe
Never wear red, white, blue or black clothing. These are the colors found on mature gobblers
6. Cover up
Don't carry harvested birds in the open. Cover them with fluorescent orange or completely conceal from view in a game bag.
7. Be seen
Fluorescent orange is not required for spring gobbler hunting. However, wearing fluorescent orange,especially while moving, is an added safety precaution

I kept getting this message while trying to convert a 2007 PPTX to a 2003 PPT.:
You are attempting to save a file type that is blocked by your registry policy setting
Here is the solution I found that works REF KB#922847:
 1. Exit PowerPoint 2003.
 2. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
 3. Locate and then click one of the following registry subkeys:

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common

 4. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key.
 5. Type OICEExemptions for the name for the key.
 6. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click String Value.
 7. Type a string name, and then press ENTER. For example, type ExemptDirectory.
 8. Right-click the string name that you typed in step 7, and then click Modify.
 9. In the Value data box, type the path of the directory that contains the file, and then click OK. For example, if your document is in the C:\My Documents folder, type C:\My Documents in the Value data box.
Note You must create the folder. Any subfolders are not automatically exempted. For any additional folders that you would like to make exempt, repeat steps 6 to 9 by creating string values such as "ExemptDirectory1" and "ExemptDirectory2."
