To look at the photos, open the Java Applet Index page.
Note: It will open in a separate window. Arrange your browser windows so that the applet and the student page can be easily viewed.
Here are some things to notice on the applet:
- display of x (in pixels)
- display of y (in pixels)
To get an idea of how this will work, select one of the faces.
Here are some questions to think about:
Looking at the x-coordinates
Looking at the y-coordinates
- Click on the left side of the mouth. What value is x?
- Click on the right side of the mouth. What value is x?
- What is the difference between the two values of x?
- Click on left side of the mouth. What value is y?
- Click on the right side of the mouth. What value is y?
- What is the difference between the two values of y?
To determine the distance in pixels of the resting mouth, should you pay more attention to the change in the x-coordinate or the y-coordinate? Can you explain why?
Now that you have the idea of how to find measurements in pixels. Find the lengths of the resting mouth and the smiling mouth for each person.
Using the data that we have, let's calculate the percentage increase. Need help in knowing how to do that? Check the Dr. Math links below.
Generalize the method that you used to find the lengths between points located on the face. Write the steps needed to calculate the percentage increase between the resting and smiling mouth.
Use your own photograph and see how much wider your smile is!

What The Heck Is Nergi Fruit?
The latest superfood has lots of nutrients. But find out how you can serve, eat and snack on delicious Nergi fruit berries.
What are Nergi berries?
It is small, green and tasty. Nergi fruit look like grapes on the outside. On the inside, it's more like kiwi. And the taste is kind of a mix of both.
So, why haven't we seen these in stores until recently? Well, because Nergi fruit aren't native to Canada (surprise, surprise!).
The berries, a.k.a. kiwi berries, are grown in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ukraine, but they originate and are produced in Asia. And they are harvested in August and September, which is why the fall is the best time to buy them.
They're like strawberries, in that you should buy them when they are soft to touch. And, like most berries, you can eat the peel.
Here's how to eat Nergi
You can wash them and snack on them as you like. But they last three days at room temperature and a week when you keep them in the fridge or drawer. You can also add them to smoothies, salads and pretty much any dish you would add fruit to.
What are the nutritional benefits of Nergi?
Well, as a fruit, they're low in calories – 52 calories for about 10 berries. (One is about the size of a small plum.) And it's a good source of fibre, vitamin C and vitamin E. It does have sugar, as most fruits do, and are being touted for their energizing properties.
Ready to try some?
Like we said, you can just snack on them or add them to your favourite fruit recipes for a bit of sweetness. But, we also have these recipes so you can test them out. And they are totally instagrammable, too.

Comparison of a low-cost magneto-inductive magnetometer with a proton magnetometer: a case study on the Galali iron ore deposit in western Iran
The proton magnetometers, also known as the proton precession magnetometers, are among the most widely used instruments for magnetometry surveys, owing to their high resolution which is about 0.01 nT. As the economically attractive ferromagnetic deposits generate a magnetic field anomaly which exceeds 100 nT, this resolution is not needed for detecting such large signals. The recently introduced magneto-inductive technology has led to the development of a low-cost magnetometer that can measure the ground magnetic field up to a resolution of around 10 nT. These magnetometers are inexpensive, come in a very small size, and are lightweight compared to the more common magnetometers such as the proton precession type. In this research, a low-cost magneto-inductive sensor and a highly precise proton magnetometer are simultaneously utilized at the same profiles on the Galali iron ore deposit in the northwest of Iran. The discrepancy of two measurements is less than 400 nT, often less than 100 nT, while the changes in the total magnetic field on this anomaly are around 7500 nT, which is 11 times larger than the maximum difference between the two measurements. In addition, the value of the regression coefficient between the two measurements for all profiles is more than 0.97. Also, the slope of the fitted line for the two measurements for all profiles is close to one. These results demonstrate the applicability of the new low-cost magneto-inductive sensor in magnetic prospecting.


Finding mean of ascii values in a string MATLAB
The string I am given is as follows:
scrap1 =
a le h
ke fd
zyq b
 ner i
You'll notice there are 2 blank spaces indicating a space (ASCII 32) in each row. I need to find the mean ASCII value in each column without taking into account the spaces (32). So first I would convert to with double(scrap1) but then how do I find the mean without taking into account the spaces?
Answers
If it's only the ASCII 32 you want to omit:
d = double(scrap1);
result = mean(d(d~=32)); %// logical indexing to remove unwanted value, then mean
You can remove the intermediate spaces in the string with scrap1(scrap1 == ' ') = ''; This replaces any space in the input with an empty string. Then you can do the conversion to double and average the result. See here for other methods.
Probably, you can use regex to find the space and ignore it. "\s"
findSpace = regexp(scrap1, '\s', 'ignore')
% I am not sure about the ignore case, this what comes to my mind. but u can read more about regexp by typying doc regexp.

Effective theories for multilayered plates (Ph.D. thesis)
We derive by $Γ$-convergence a family of effective plate theories for multilayered materials with internal misfit for scaling laws ranging from Kirchhoff's theory to linearised von Kármán. The main addition is the central role played by an intermediate von Kármán-like theory, where a new parameter interpolates between the adjacent regimes. We also prove the $Γ$-convergence of this limiting regime to the other two as well as the relevant compactness results and we characterise some minimising configurations for the scalings considered. Finally, we numerically investigate the interpolating regime employing the open source toolkit FEniCS to implement a discrete gradient flow. This provides empirical evidence for the existence of a critical value of the parameter around which minimisers are of different nature. We show $Γ$-convergence of the discretisation and compactness as the mesh size goes to zero.

 - ELSA-20 Megafauna Data
 - ELSA-20 Megafauna Data Smoothed
 - ELSA-20 Megaherbivore Presence of GI 10 – 8
Spores from various fungi are regularly observed during the pollen analysis. We observe about 20 different taxa, but count regularly only the spores from Sporormiella and Sordaria, and other less common coprophilous taxa. These two fungi genera cover the fecal remains of large herbivores, from modern cattle and sheep to reindeer, deer, bison, horse up to the glacial megafauna like mammoth. It is impossible to determine the mammals that produced the dung, but many spores of Sordaria and Sporormiella indicate the presence of large herds of mammals. If Sordaria and Sporormiella reach more than 2.5% of the total pollen number, they are regarded to document the presence of megafauna.
It is difficult to apply this relation to the ELSA-20-Stack data, because pollen are dissolved during the entire last glacial maximum, but also many of the stadials. Thus, we use the absolute number of Sordaria and Sporormiella relative to our internal standard and define the presence of megafauna if more than 2 Sordaria or 2 Sporormiella spores have been found in a sample with no pollen preservation.
According to this approach we observe presence of megafauna during the tundra times, but also during the LGM. The most pronounced maximum of Sporormiella is found after 14,700 yr b2k, when the climate warmed and late glacial humans are known from archeological excavations to have hunt mainly reindeer in the larger Eifel region. The influence of volcanism, dust, paleotemperature, vegetation type on the presence/absence of the megafauna will be presented in an upcoming paper.

ISDC 2021 Highlights: A Peek into the Future of System Dynamics Visualization
The International System Dynamics Conference (ISDC) convenes practitioners who demonstrate what's new and developing in their fields with System Dynamics. This section of the WiSDom Blog, "Conference Highlights," asks system dynamicists to spotlight key presentations and innovations presented at the conference. Check it out and let us know what you think!
– Conference Highlights Editorial Team: Saras Chung, Will Glass-Husain, Jack Homer, Sara Metcalf, and Remco Peters with coordination by Christine Tang
This highlight by Billy Schoenberg gives us a peek into the future of System Dynamics data visualization.
I'd like to describe a fascinating Plenary Session I attended on Tuesday of this year's conference. Entitled "Visual HPC Workflows for the Analysis of System Dynamics Models" (HPC stands for High-Performance Computing), the 30-minute plenary talk was given by Brian Bush and Danny Inman of the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
Here's the background. Over the past two decades, NREL has developed a series of large System Dynamics models, many of them open source. A big part of the task has been to exercise the models over wide ranges of uncertainty. This means, first, developing technology to run these models on NREL's HPC supercomputer clusters. Second, it means finding an effective way to visualize an enormous volume of simulation output. To do this visualization, they've built a "holodeck"-style room where they and their stakeholders can perform model testing. In addition, this room allows them to "walk through" the data in a 3D fully virtual environment.
Brian and Danny put their innovative system in context by saying that it was inspired by the idea of double-loop learning where learners adjust their own mental models of a problem by playing through and taking part in the system.
One of the biggest challenges they've faced is the high dimensional complexity of the models they work with. Their models might have thousands of input variables and parameters affecting dozens of output variables and metrics. The big question they've been tackling is "How can a visualization system help stakeholders rapidly explore and confidently understand what it is that these models are saying?"
This is where the immersive visualization environments come in. Using these specially equipped virtual-reality rooms, users can reach out and touch the data. You can see what this process looks like in the photo above.
NREL uses this environment to enhance collaboration via "hands-on data processing", where stakeholders can work together to filter and highlight key dimensions of simulation generated data. This allows them to debug models, design scenarios, identify anomalous results, formulate and test hypotheses, as well as explore the outcomes of a large number of sensitivity runs.
While it's probably more than just a few years before we all get our own immersive visualization environments, the technology they've been developing is gradually trickling down into tools (based on open source software) that can be run on consumer-grade virtual reality or augmented reality headsets.
The NREL team has found a few specific types of data visualizations to be particularly effective. These include 3D scatter plots of sensitivity testing results (pictured below); "parallel planes" (pictured below) showing input parameters versus outputs across many runs which are a series of scatter plots where the same observations on each plot are joined by a polyline; and "self-organizing maps" in 2D or 3D space that group together results that are similar according to cluster analysis or other algorithms.
All in all, this was a pretty fantastic look at what the future of System Dynamics model outputs may look like. The immersive visual environments have a retro-futuristic feel, like a Star Trek holodeck brought to life. I doubt that this technology will ever trickle down to ordinary modelers in its full room-based form, though some of the visualization methods (e.g., 3-D scatterplots) are now available and getting some use. What does the future hold? That's anybody's guess, but I enjoyed seeing System Dynamics at the forefront of the discussion about how simulation modelers may someday be able to conveniently visualize and make sense of massive amounts of multi-dimensional data.

Answer in brief.
Describe any five points of importance of coordinating.
Attempt the following.
Describe the importance of coordinating.
Answer in brief.
Explain importance of coordinating with any Four Points.
Answer the following.
Explain importance of coordinating.
Co-ordination refers to the integration and synchronization of the group efforts so as to provide unity of action for organisational goals. Coordination is a hidden force which binds all other functions of management together.
The importance of co-ordinating is as follows:
The need for coordination arises out of the fact that different elements and efforts of an organization are to be harmonized and unified to achieve the common objectives. The importance of coordination can be discussed as follows:
- Encourages Team Spirit:
In organizations, a group of individuals works together. There may be the existence of conflicts, disputes between individuals, departments, and employers, and employees regarding organizational policies, roles, and responsibilities, etc. Coordination arranges the work in such a way that minimum conflicts are raised. It increases the team spirit at the workplace.
- Gives Proper Direction:
Coordination integrates departmental activities for achieving the common goal of the organization.
The work is arranged in a very systematic way. The interdependence of departments gives proper direction to the employees.
- Facilitates Motivation:
Coordination motivates the employees to take initiative while completing their assigned tasks.
Effective co-ordination increases efficiency and results in the growth and prosperity of the organization. A prosperous organization ensures job security, higher income, promotion, and incentives. Such monetary and nonmonetary incentives provide job security and motivate the employees for hard work.
- Optimum Utilization of Resources:
Managers try to integrate all the resources systematically. It helps in utilizing all available resources at its optimum level. Co-ordination also helps to minimize the wastage of resources and control the cost of work.
- Achieve Organizational Objectives:
Co-ordination leads to minimizing the wastages of materials, idle time of employees, delay in completion of targets, departmental disputes etc.to a great extent. It ensures the smooth working of the organization in the process of achieving the objectives of the organization.
- Improves Relation:
Co-ordination develops cordial relations between all the levels of management of an organization. Every department depends on the functioning of other departments. For example, the sales department works according to the production department, the Production department depends on the Purchase department, and so on. Coordination helps the employees to build strong relations among them and achieve the given targets.
- Leads to Higher Efficiency:
With the help of optimum utilization of resources and effective integration of resources, the organization can achieve high returns in terms of high productivity, high profitability as well as can reduce the cost. Thus, coordination leads to higher efficiency.
- Improves Goodwill:
Higher sales and higher profitability can be achieved due to synchronized efforts of organizational people, strong human relations, and lower costs. It directly results in creating goodwill for the organization in the market. It reflects on the market value of shares as well as it helps in building a good image in society.
- Unity of Direction:
Different activities are performed by different departments. Coordination harmonizes these activities for achieving the common goal of the organization. Thus, coordination gives proper direction to all departments of the organization.
All departments of the organization are headed by experts in their respective fields. The specialized knowledge of these departmental heads helps in managerial decisions. It leads the organization to march towards growth and success in the competitive world of business.

I looked at the example in the document here
As the example shows, we can obtain vertex marginals on all hierarchical
levels, i.e. a "vertex_pie_fractions" at each level for each node. However,
I want to find the node partition at each level for each node according to
the *largest* "vertex_pie_fraction". Therefore, I use the following code
# Hierarchical node partition as a list of np.array
bs = [np.array([np.argmax(list(pv[i])[j]) for j in range(len(list(pv[i])))])
for i in range(len(pv))]
where pv is exactly the one shown in the example.
I believe the above line of code is correct since I have checked the results
in several real networks with small sizes (around 200 nodes and 500 edges at
But it will take a quite a long time for a large network (30k nodes with
400k edges or more). Is there any efficient way to do the above work?

anneal Minimizes a function with the method of simulated annealing (Kirkpatrick et al., 1983)
ANNEAL takes three input parameters, in this order:
LOSS is a function handle (anonymous function or inline) with a loss function, which may be of any type, and needn't be continuous. It does, however, need to return a single value.
PARENT is a vector with initial guess parameters. You must input an initial guess.
OPTIONS is a structure with settings for the simulated annealing. If no OPTIONS structure is provided, anneal uses a default structure. OPTIONS can contain any or all of the following fields (missing fields are filled with default values):
Verbosity: Controls output to the screen.
0 suppresses all output
1 gives final report only [default]
2 gives temperature changes and final report
Generator: Generates a new solution from an old one. Any function handle that takes a solution as input and gives a valid solution (i.e. some point in the solution space) as output. The default function generates a row vector which slightly differs from the input vector in one element: @(x) (x+(randperm(length(x))==length(x))*randn/100). Other examples of possible solution generators: @(x) (rand(3,1)): Picks a random point in the unit cube. @(x) (ceil([9 5].*rand(2,1))): Picks a point in a 9-by-5 discrete grid.
Note that if you use the default generator, ANNEAL only works on row vectors. For loss functions that operate on column vectors, use this generator instead of the default: @(x) (x(:)'+(randperm(length(x))==length(x))*randn/100)'
InitTemp: The initial temperature, can be any positive number. Default is 1.
StopTemp: Temperature at which to stop, can be any positive number smaller than InitTemp. Default is 1e-8.
StopVal: Value at which to stop immediately, can be any output of LOSS that is sufficiently low for you. Default is -Inf.
CoolSched: Generates a new temperature from the previous one. Any function handle that takes a scalar as input and returns a smaller but positive scalar as output. Default is @(T) (.8*T).
MaxConsRej: Maximum number of consecutive rejections, can be any positive number. Default is 1000.
MaxTries: Maximum number of tries within one temperature, can be any positive number. Default is 300.
MaxSuccess: Maximum number of successes within one temperature, can be any positive number. Default is 20.
[MINIMUM,FVAL] = ANNEAL(LOSS,NEWSOL,[OPTIONS]);
MINIMUM is the solution which generated the smallest encountered value when input into LOSS.
FVAL is the value of the LOSS function evaluated at MINIMUM.
OPTIONS = ANNEAL();
OPTIONS is the default options structure.
The so-called six-hump camelback function has several local minima in the range -3<=x<=3 and -2<=y<=2. It has two global minima, namely f(-0.0898,0.7126) = f(0.0898,-0.7126) = -1.0316. We can define and minimise it as follows:
camel = @(x,y)(4-2.1*x.^2+x.^4/3).*x.^2+x.*y+4*(y.^2-1).*y.^2;
loss = @(p)camel(p(1),p(2));
[x f] = anneal(loss,[0 0])
We get output:
Initial temperature: 1
Final temperature: 3.21388e-007
Consecutive rejections: 1027
Number of function calls: 6220
Total final loss: -1.03163
Which reasonably approximates the analytical global minimum (note that due to randomness, your results will likely not be exactly the same).

Building peace through Principle 10
QUNO Geneva have produced a new publication that focuses on the potential of environmental rights agreements to prevent destructive conflict around natural resources. "Building Peace through Principle 10, Access rights and the prevention of environmental conflict", is a contribution to the ongoing negotiations to conclude a regional agreement for Latin America and the Caribbean on the right to information, public participation in decision-making and access to justice, in environmental matters. It uses case studies from the region to illustrate how public participation in decision-making around natural resources contributes not only to sustainable but also to peaceful and equitable development. This publication was sent personally to each of the country delegates, and civil society representatives, to the negotiations in Santiago de Chile.

All-American Food Recipe Makeovers
Recipe Makeovers for All-American Food
Cook lighter versions of American cuisine classics.
By Elaine Magee, MPH, RD
WebMD Weight Loss Clinic - Expert Column
Reviewed by Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD / LD
I love all of the kitchens that make up our American food culture. Where else can you find almost any type of food under the sun, from Indian to Thai, Chinese and Japanese; Italian, Greek, French, Mexican, Cuban, Vietnamese, Indonesian and more? However, there are still foods that are unmistakably American.
There are foods that may have been invented elsewhere but turned into American phenomena, such as french fries, fruit cakes, cupcakes, popcorn, bagels, pizza, and the entire "salads" category. There are foods we made ourselves, like pancakes and waffles, grilled cheese sandwiches, and muffins. And then there is really American food invented by Americans on American soil, such as toll house cookies, corn dogs, cornbread, donuts, potato chips, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Another great American food contribution: Almost anything ice related, like ice cream sandwiches, sundaes of hot fudge, and root beer floats.
All of these all-American foods are fantastic and part of our culinary heritage. The problem is, most of them are low in nutrients and low in fiber - but a lot of calories. Admittedly, some classic American foods cannot be overworked while retaining their desirable properties - donuts, for example. But many others can be "treated" to have fewer calories and fat while still staying true to the delicious food that Americans have come to know and love.
Here are 12 all-American foods great for cutting calories, followed by some brightened up American recipes.
American Food Makeover # 1: Apple Pie
According to The Food Encyclopediasa) Apples were introduced to North America from Europe and Western Asia in the 17th century. Apple dishes have been interwoven in American cuisine ever since, from apple chips to caramel apples to apple pie.
Makeover Tips: Make a lighter apple pie by using a low-fat, partially whole grain crust and using less sugar in the filling. The filling or the top crust also does not have to be "dotted" with butter.
American Food Makeover # 2: Chocolate Chip Cookies
By most standards, the chocolate chip cookie is the epitome of an American biscuit. And one of the most famous chocolate chip cookies is the Toll House Cookie. Ruth Graves Wakefield made America's original chocolate chip cookie from small pieces of semi-sweet chocolate in 1939 at her Toll House Inn near Whitman, Massachusetts The new food lover's companion.
Makeover Tips: Use a low-fat margarine with plant sterols instead of stick butter or margarine in your chocolate chip cookie recipe. You can cut the sugar by a quarter and replace half of the white flour with whole wheat flour. Using a little less chocolate chips will also shave some calories and fat grams.
American Food Makeover # 3: Corn Bread
This is an all-American fast bread that is made in all different styles (Mediterranean, frying pan, sweet) with all sorts of features (green pepper, cheese, bacon, onion, etc.). There have been all sorts of names for cornbread, and there are many variations that are part of American culinary history, such as johnnycakes, hushpuppies, and spoonbreads.
Makeover Tips: Make cornbread recipes easier by using less fat in the batter (replace bacon fat, lard, or shortening with a low-fat margarine with plant sterols) and replace that fat with low-fat buttermilk or fat-free sour cream. For some recipes, you can make a fat substitute mixture of canola oil and non-fat sour cream. Use fewer eggs (replace two egg whites or 1/4 cup egg substitutes). If your recipe calls for ingredients like bacon or cheese to stir in, consider using a low-fat option and adding less of it. Increase the fiber in your cornbread by replacing half of the white flour you need with whole wheat flour.
American Food Makeover # 4: Corn Dogs
This popular carnival and state fair, where a hot dog on a stick is dipped in thick cornbread batter and deep-fried, was created for the state fair in 1942 by Texan Neil Fletcher The new food lover's companion.
Makeover Tips: Use leaner dogs (there are several "light" brands) and bake your corn dog until the cornbread batter is firm instead of deep-frying it. If deep-frying is a must, use at least one cooking fat that is higher in monounsaturated fat, preferably one that also contains vegetable omega-3s (like canola oil).
American Food Makeover # 5: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Most of us grew up on mommy's grilled cheese sandwiches. They are also standard rates for guests across the country.
Makeover Tips: Make a healthier grilled cheese sandwich by using whole grain or multigrain bread (multigrain sourdough is delicious), low-fat cheese, or a little less of the regular cheese. Instead of buttering them, quickly spray the outsides of the bread with canola oil before placing it on your non-stick griddle or pan.
American Food Makeover # 6: Muffins
Muffins are very popular on the American breakfast and dinner table. American muffins are usually leavened with baking soda or baking soda instead of yeast. They offer a wide variety of ingredients and flavors, from savory to sweet.
Makeover Tips: You can reduce the fat in your muffin batter - you really only need about 2 tablespoons of oil for every 12 small muffins. You can also replace half of the white flour with whole grain wheat. And you can cut down the sugar and add ingredients like fresh or dried fruit, ground cinnamon, and roasted nuts to give the flavor a boost.
American Food Makeover # 7: Pancakes
Many countries have their own version of pancakes: thin or thick; small or large; filled or topped with delicious ingredients. American pancakes are often made with buttermilk, are typically thicker than other pancakes around the world, and are generally around 4 inches wide.
Makeover Tips: Make lighter pancakes by adding less fat to the batter, using low-fat milk or buttermilk, and adding very little fat (if any) to the pan. But that's only half the health battle with pancakes - it's what people do with the pancakes after they cook that can really pile the calories. Keep added butter, whipped cream, and syrup to a minimum and switch to reduced calorie pancake syrup if possible. If you really need to add butter, go for the whipped variety.
American Food Makeover # 8: Pizza
Pizza may have started in Italy, but America made it the popular food it is today. American pizza chains are constantly trying to come up with new and exciting toppings, along with crust variations like filled, deep dish, or crispy.
Makeover Tips: Avoid greasy pizza places and look for more authentic pizzerias with a bread-like crust, lots of nutritious pizza sauce, and a moderate amount of cheese. Choose vegetables as toppings instead of high-fat meat. If you're making pizza at home, replace half of the white flour with whole wheat flour. You can also choose a semi-skimmed or low-fat cheese.
American Food Makeover # 9: Popcorn
Most people can't go to the movies without buying popcorn. For many, it's the standard snack at the end of a long day at work or at school. A common equation for popcorn is that a tablespoon of oil plus 1/2 cup of corn kernels pops up to about 4 cups. And that doesn't even include the butter that is usually drizzled over it.
Makeover Tips: Use less oil when popping the corn and add less butter after popping. Basically, this is what popcorn makers are doing with their light microwave popcorn options.
American Food Makeover # 10: Potato Chips
These crunchy snack-time favorites were reportedly invented by a cook at Moon's Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1853. One guest insisted on extra thin fries, so Chef George Crumb cut the potatoes thinly and made them crispy when fried.
Makeover Tips: You need some oil if you're making potato chips (without this they would just taste like dried potatoes), but the trick is to use less of them. To achieve this, bake thinly sliced potatoes with a light layer of canola cooking spray or a light brush of canola oil instead of deep-frying them.
American Food Makeover # 11: Potato Salad
The American rendition of creamy potato salad - a standard at delis, picnics, and barbecues - is dressed in mayonnaise. The German-style potato salad uses a warm vinaigrette that is traditionally made from bacon fat.
Makeover Tips: Instead of using regular mayonnaise, make a light mayo dressing by using half light mayonnaise and half fat-free sour cream. Refine the taste of the dressing with honey mustard or relish, freshly ground black pepper or herbs and spices.
American Food Makeover # 12: Root Beer Float
These are on the menu in many American cities in ice cream parlors and old-fashioned soda fountains.The original root beer was a low-alcohol carbonated drink that was made in Philadelphia, according to a druggist The Food Encyclopedia. Today's root beer is of course a soda pop with flavors reminiscent of that earlier drink.
Makeover Tips: Make a low calorie root

Description
Solid BusBar UK is a device that offers high strength and flexibility to the users. They are manufactured with a steel core that provides support to the heavy loads. These are very popular in the construction industry, for they have the ability to resist extreme heat, force, and weather conditions. The busbars are manufactured using a combination of Zborphan and Zyclon powder which have the ability to withstand extreme conditions like extreme cold, heat, and force.
Most of the busbars have the ability to be fixed either through a mechanical or electrical process. The mechanical process includes bolt tightening, locking the bar into position, and lowering it through a hole. This is followed by the fixing of the metal bar with a locking nut or screw. Electrical fixing typically includes cable couplings, cable tensioner, clamping screw, and terminals.
The most common and traditional type of busbar is made of steel or aluminium. The steel busbar is considered as a versatile bus because it can be fixed either mechanically or electrically. This makes it a cost effective bus structure that can be used for industrial and commercial applications. These types of busbars are usually available in different standard thicknesses and are known to be extremely strong and durable.
Another common form of busbar is made of aluminium or copper. The aluminium busbar is popular for its high strength and flexibility along with its durability. It is also commonly used in roofing applications and industrial machinery. Copper bus bars are generally used for light weight industrial applications.
The length of bus bar could vary depending on its application and the required distance between two terminals. The most common measurement that is used to determine the size is DIN or Diameters of Metal (DIM). The DIN number of metal refers to its thickness, which measures less than 0.5 mm. If you loved this article and you would like to receive much more information regarding more helpful hints i implore you to visit our web-site. For instance, the DIM of copper is 17.0 sq mm and the size of this aluminum bar will be determined by the DIM measurement of your equipment or vehicle.
When using a drill press, you need to use the right kind of tools that will not cause any damage to your work piece. One of these tools is the zb 6 clamp. You will need to measure the length of the wire or the pipe that you want to use. To ensure accuracy, you can use a tape measure or a metric tape in order to get the correct measurement.

Tribute to Grandpa "Black Cat Sheriff" The China Animation Museum launches the first activity of the Growth Plan for Chinese Young Anime Artists
City Express News October is the birthday month of Dai Tielang, a famous animation director, screenwriter, and artist in China. Mr. Dai is called the "Black Cat Sheriff" grandfather. Many popular animation works such as "Dolphin", "Shepherd Flute", "Black Cat Sheriff" and "Nine-Colored Deer" have made positive contributions to the "Chinese School" in the animation industry. Yesterday afternoon, the China Animation Museum held a commemoration of the birthday of Dai Tielang and the launch of the new book "Dai Tielang-The Dream of Immortality", which is the growth plan of young anime artists in China.
In memory of Mr. Dai, the guests on stage choked up a few times
"Dai Tielang-The Dream of Immortality" was created by the first Chinese young animation artist Yang Chenxi in 2021 and three college animation teachers, Lu Jiangyun, Zhang Yipin, and Chen Xiaomeng. It reviews the artistic life of Mr. Dai Lao and uses Dai Tielang's oral history. As a basis, combined with the archives of the China Academy of Art and Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, supplemented by the interview data of 24 personal witnesses, the live behind-the-scenes of the animated film directed by Dai Tielang is disclosed to readers, and a large number of unpublished manuscripts and original paintings of Dai Lao are presented. , Let readers know more stories outside of the film.
At less than 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, more than 100 people from Mr. Dai Tielang's former friends and representatives of teachers and students from colleges and universities gathered in the theater on the 4th floor of the China Animation Museum to watch the documentary short film "About Dai Laohe" produced by the new book creation team. I also listened to Li Baochuan, director of the animation department and associate professor of Hangzhou Normal University, Feng Yusong, former director of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, and Yin Xiyong, former Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio and producer of "Black Cat Sheriff", and other guests, together with the author team To share the influence of Dai Lao and the writing process of "Dai Tielang-The Dream of Immortality". When sharing some details about getting along with Mr. Dai, several guests on the stage choked up for a while, and some audiences off the stage were also deeply moved and couldn't help but blush. When talking about the most valuable qualities passed down by Mr. Dai to the new generation, the guests on stage and the author all mentioned his unremitting pursuit of artistic innovation and his open-minded and optimistic mind.
Interpretation of Chinese animation heritage
A lot of new books
Li Baochuan, director of the animation department of Hangzhou Normal University, commented that this new book created by Yang Chenxi's team provides a good interpretation of the inheritance of Chinese animation. "Dai Lao's generation of old cartoonists used their artistic creations to create such an animation world; and the younger generation like Yang Chenxi will definitely inherit it."
Yang Chenxi said that the interview and writing of this new book lasted 4 years intermittently, and the creative team incorporated their respect and feelings for Lao Dai. Unfortunately, Lao Dai did not wait for it to be published. "I hope that this book will be as old as Dai's wish, encouraging and enlightening the younger generations, including us."
"Leave it to us, we, as the younger generation, will pass on the spirit of Dai Lao." Yang Chenxi said.
On October 24, the first China Young Anime Artists Growth Plan announced the selection of 10 young animators. One of the authors of this new book, Yang Chenxi, was among them. After being selected, he once said that he must first do something within his capacity. First, help children improve their understanding of Chinese animation. In addition, he hopes to turn the attention of the study of animation history to the current young generation of animation people. "You can start with a few selected young Chinese animators, record them in the form of oral history, and then make a documentary later. This is a very timely record and record for the animation industry and artistic creation."

The Notre Dame Turbomachinery Laboratory (NDTL) recently completed a development test campaign of a full-scale, multistage, low-pressure aviation compressor in a 10 MW test cell. The tests included over 600 measurement channels in order to understand the compressor performance in depth. High accuracy instrumentation, detailed and repeated measurement system calibrations, and special care for build-to-build repeatability resulted in a stall margin accuracy of ±0.1% and efficiency repeatability better than ±0.3 points.
In addition to base performance, the test campaign examined how the compressor flow field changes when the airfoils are subjected to small imperfections. This required measurements of the unsteady pressure behind the affected stage, which were obtained by constructing a custom probe that consisted of a miniature Kulite pressure sensor embedded inside of a Kiel type shroud. The custom probe provided a time-resolved measurement of total pressure; it was then traversed in circumferential and radial directions to construct a whole-field image of the rotor's aerodynamic performance.
An example result is shown above, featuring individual compressor blade wakes and secondary flows. These measurements were obtained for several different blade alterations in order to study the aerodynamic effects of slightly damaged compressor airfoils.

text: How to Ensure Your Strategic Alliance Doesn't Fail July 26, 2013 RICCentre By: Shamini Sellvaratnam For large enterprises, strategic alliances with local start-ups can be crucial to ensuring that they achieve a continuous innovative product development cycle. Strategic alliances are partnerships among two or more businesses that collaborate to achieve a common goal while increasing efficiency and boosting profitability. Companies participating in a strategic alliance typically share people, expertise, technology, property or capital investments in hopes of reducing expenses, gain access to a larger or more diverse customer base, and achieve quicker market access. However, with failure rates of strategic alliances ranging from 50 to 70 percent, it is not only crucial to choose the right business partner, but to share a common vision. In order to ensure that your strategic alliance does not fail, Pamela Harper at smallbusinesadvocate.com shares four crucial steps to ensuring a successful strategic alliance: 1) Develop an individual strategy before entering a strategic alliance Often times a strategic alliance fails when businesses find themselves shifting away from their main priorities or losing focus on core objectives. This not only wastes time, resources and effort, but decreases productivity for all parties. By developing an individual alliance strategy before entering into a strategic alliance, one that supports individual company visions, businesses can determine whether a particular strategic alliance will actually be beneficial in supporting their individual goals. 2) Develop a joint alliance strategy before finalizing the formation of the alliance To avoid a strategic alliance from favouring one company's goals over their partner's, it is important for participating companies to co-develop a joint alliance strategy; one that supports the goals of each individual company and all companies collectively. In a strategic alliance, companies must understand the vision, strengths and differences of each partner in order to cater the joint alliance strategy to meet each individual goal. When creating a joint strategy, company roles, responsibilities and expectations must be clarified in order to resolve possible conflicts and support decision making. 3) Understand the cultures of each business and cater each relationship accordingly When working with alliance partners, it is crucial that each relationship is individualized and catered based on the cultural and strategic approach of individual companies. Since companies work and interact in different ways, it is crucial that businesses adjust the communication strategy for each of their partners. In order to create a high-performing strategic alliance, organizations must not only provide enough capital and human resources to the alliance, but also ensure that their employees have the necessary resources to form and manage teams within the alliance. 4) Continuously review and alter the joint alliance Throughout the alliance, businesses must review and adjust their joint strategy according to milestones and problems encountered. In order to avoid the alliance from moving away from the original objectives outlined in their joint strategy, it is essential that businesses establish frequent checkpoints to evaluate the progress of the alliance. During the adjustment process, both parties must continuously aim to satisfy each company vision; this will not only benefit both parties, but maintain the collaborative culture that is crucial in an alliance. By implementing these steps, companies can ensure that a foundation for mutually beneficial relationships exists. Should the partners fail to identify their individual strategies or nurture their join strategy, it can be expected that one or all firm will fail to realize the full benefits of the alliance. This may lead to a weakened business relationship and should be avoided at all costs. To learn more about protecting strategic alliances from failure, please click here.

You have heard of name "lemongrass", haven't you?
So, what is the lemongrass? Is Lemongrass same as a Lemon? The answer is definitely No! It is a completely different species from the lemon. Well, why do we call it the lemongrass? The reason is simple, because it contains citral a major flavor component of lemon. the plant has the fresh fragrance of the lemon. This flavor is used in a variety of dishes. For example, teas, soups and curries, especially, it is essential to make Asian food and Caribbean food. The plant is used not only in food, but also aromatherapy and the production of citronella oil to get rid of insects. Lemongrass has a high utility value so, in this article, I will try to explore the secrets of this plant that have benefits to your lives!
What is the lemongrass?
Lemongrass is the common name for the plant Cymbopogon citratus in the Poaceae family, a tall perennial grass that can reach a height of 2m, and looks like Miscanthus sinensis (Japanese pampas grass) but has fragrant leaves and stalks. It grows in tropical or subtropical climates, and is native to India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Thailand. In India it is used in Ayurveda which is traditional system of medicine.
Although lemon grass is a familiar plant in the form of small trimmed stems or dried fragments, many people do not know the appearance of whole lemongrass which is such a huge plant and is not sold whole in stores. Most of the dry lemon grass (picture 1) being sold in shops has been cut thinly. Only the stem and leaf bases are sold fresh. In addition, the part of the stem that looks like a spring onion is very hard, can you imagine?
How can it involved in our lives?
Lemon grass is said to be energising, to refresh the concentration and to promote digestion. It is also reputed to have bactericidal action and help cure athlete's foot and acne.
As using the lemongrass in a Spicy food, such as Asian dishes and Caribbean dishes, it works putting the scent or smelling off. Especially it is grate with chicken, fish and seafood. Basically, you cannot not eat itself.
Lemon grass with action to promote the digestion is perfect herbal tea after a meal.
This time, I made one of the world's three major soups, Tom Yum Goong which is Thai food, and lemon grass tea.
So, I would like to introduce the recipe.
How to make Lemongrass Soup (Tom yum kung!)
Firstly, I tell you the ingredients that you should prepare.
Please refer to the following.

I really don't follow the explanation, and was unsuccessful implementing it. Can anyone provide a clearer explanation of this and a proposed fix?

Short answer, try this:
fileReader = csv.reader(csv_file.split("\n"))
Long answer, consider the following:
for thing in stuff:
 print thing.strip().split(",")
If stuff is a file pointer, each thing is a line. If stuff is a list, each thing is an item. If stuff is a string, each thing is a character.
Iterating over the object returned by csv.reader is going to give you behavior similar to iterating over the object passed in, only with each item CSV-parsed. If you iterate over a string, you'll get a CSV-parsed version of each character.

Thanks for the explanation, it makes a lot more sense to me now. – August Flanagan Jun 4 '10 at 19:10

I would consider using .splitlines() instead of .split('\n') – robert king Mar 13 '12 at 1:46

I can't think of a clearer explanation than what the Google engineer you mentioned said. So let's break it down a bit.
The Python csv module operates on file-like objects, that is a file or something that behaves like a Python file. Hence, csv.reader() expects to get a file object as it's only required parameter.
The webapp.RequestHandler request object provides access to the HTTP parameters that are posted in the form. In HTTP, parameters are posted as key-value pairs, e.g., csv=record_one,record_two. When you invoke self.request.get('csv') this returns the value associated with the key csv as a Python string. A Python string is not a file-like object. Apparently, the csv module is falling-back when it does not understand the object and simply iterating it (in Python, strings can be iterated over by character, e.g., for c in 'Test String': print c will print each character in the string on a separate line).
Fortunately, Python provides a StringIO class that allows a string to be treated as a file-like object. So (assuming GAE supports StringIO, and there's no reason it shouldn't) you should be able to do this:
class ProcessUpload(webapp.RequestHandler):
 def post(self):
 self.response.out.write(self.request.get('csv'))
 # Iterating over a string as a file
 stringReader = csv.reader(StringIO.StringIO(self.request.get('csv')))
 for row in stringReader:
 self.response.out.write(row)
Which will work as you expect it to.
Edit I'm assuming that you are using something like a <textarea/> to collect the csv file. If you're uploading an attachment, different handling may be necessary (I'm not all that familiar with Python GAE or how it handles attachments).

Thanks! This solved it, and your explanation was a lot easier for me to understand. – August Flanagan Jun 4 '10 at 19:10

@August Flanagan I don't think the idea expressed in the sentence The Python csv module operates on file-like objects, that is a file or something that behaves like a Python file. Hence, csv.reader() expects to get a file object as it's only required parameter. being correct. Documentation says "csv.reader(csvfile, dialect='excel', **fmtparams) Return a reader object which will iterate over lines in the given csvfile. csvfile can be any object which supports the iterator protocol and returns a string each time its next() method is called" – eyquem Sep 27 at 21:46

@AugustFlanagan So it's clear that csv.reader(x) operates on an object x that is not necessarily a file-like object, the only requirement is that x must be an iterable and return strings when iterated. – eyquem Sep 27 at 21:50

@AugustFlanagan The more common practice is to pass a file-like object to csv.reader but the doc expresses clearly that it's not the obly possibility: "— file objects and list objects are both suitable." - It happens that a string is iterable and that the iteration of a string returns objects whose type is str, then a string can also be accepted by csv.reader(); that doesn't mean that it is intersting to pass a string to csv.reader(), that the reason why the doc deosn't precise it. But over-strictly speaking it would be correct if it was written .... – eyquem Sep 27 at 22:06

@AugustFlanagan ....: — file objects and list objects and strings objects are all suitable. But it wouldn't be a practical information, so it is not written like that. However we must not understand things with confusion. - That's why the following sentence is also false in my opinion: Apparently, the csv module is falling-back when it does not understand the object and simply iterating it : it doesn't fail, it perfectly handles a string as an iterable. – eyquem Sep 27 at 22:06

ISA Device Auto Configuration
A key advantage of Berkeley UNIX is its ability to configure at boot time devices present on the system. This feature, while difficult to implement on the ISA given numerous conflicts, was considered valuable and was implemented.
In Figure 10(a), we have data structures that encode all the appropriate information to configure a device in 386BSD. Each driver, which may have many devices, is able to locate and configure a device if present. The isa_device structure also contains the characteristics of each device to be recognized. If found, hardware resources can then be assigned to each device as configured. A sample table of possible devices to search for within the kernel appears in Figure 10(b).

Landscapes of the Passing Strange.
Reflections From Shakespeare.
By Rosamond Purcell and Michael Witmore.
W W Norton & Company Inc, New York, 2010. 128 pp., 72 color illustrations, 9½x9½".
Publisher's Description
In this collaborative work, photographer Rosamond Purcell and Shakespeare scholar Michael Witmore explore the transcendent emotion in Shakespeare's work through photographs, pairing the allusive power of images with the subversive effects of Shakespeare's language. The book takes advantage of oblique connections to reveal things that cannot be represented directly on stage.
Purcell has pioneered the technique of capturing reflections in antique mercury glass apothecary jars, resulting in haunting images that seem to move with the liquid quickness of ideas. These images are an attempt to capture Shakespeare's expansive imagination in action—what Coleridge called his'myriad-mindedness': they take a visceral journey into the world of his plays. Witmore has paired each photograph with a short passage from Shakespeare's plays with an uncanny sense of the playwright's intent.

"This food is spicy!"
Translation:Pika kēia mea ʻai!
June 26, 2019
Is "mea" necessary?
Why don't you have either 'hū" or "auē" at the beginning of this sentence that ends with an exclamation point. I am really frustrated with the difference with "hū" and "auē". Please help!
Just curious—could this sentence also be written as: "He pika ka mea ʻai kēia!"
Mahalo for any insight.
An adjective doesn't need "he" before it and that sentence is weirdly ordered.
If we omit "he", then "pika ka mea ʻai kēia" which literally means: "the food this is spicy"
~Vir pius sacrificat~
And what about "Ka pika 'o kēia mea 'ai"? There is a ka before the adjective in "Hū ka 'ono o kēia mea 'ai" and "Hū ka wela 'o Honolulu". Is ke/ka needed just after a hū or auē?

Utilizing the high stability of calcium and rare-earth hydrides, CaFeAsF1-xHx (x = 0.0-1.0) and SmFeAsO1-xH x (x = 0.0-0.47) have been synthesized using high pressure to form hydrogen-substituted 1111-type iron-arsenide superconductors. Neutron diffraction and density functional calculations have demonstrated that the hydrogens are incorporated as H- ions occupying F- sites in the blocking layer of CaFeAsF. The resulting CaFeAsF1-xH x is nonsuperconducting, whereas, SmFeAsO1-xHx is a superconductor, with an optimal Tc = 55 K at x ∼ 0.2. It was found that up to 40% of the O2- ions can be replaced by H - ions, with electrons being supplied into the FeAs layer to maintain neutrality (O2- = H- + e-). When x exceeded 0.2, Tc was reduced corresponding to an electron overdoped region.

Study evaluates lunchroom plate waste in Bryan, Dallas elementary schools
Writer: Blair Fannin, _PHONE_, _EMAIL_
COLLEGE STATION – Even though school children are served a healthy lunch, researchers are wanting to know how much of their entrees are actually being eaten or pushed aside, and the cost associated with serving daily meals in a study conducted by Texas A&M University System researchers.
A team led by Texas A&M AgriLife Research and the Institute for Obesity at Texas A&M University has been measuring food waste in elementary schools in Bryan and Dallas. The project, funded by the Alliance for Potato Research and Education, follows guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Food and Nutrition Service National School Breakfast and School Lunch Programs.
"We hope this will expand into a regional and national project," said Dr. Oral Capps, an AgriLife Research economist in College Station. "When you talk about changes in school lunch programs, you are talking about nutrition and economics. Our goal is to make 30 visits to each school on days when they have potatoes served with either green beans, veggie dippers, or corn and peas. This gives us a good overall view of what types of entrees the children are consuming and the ones they are not."
Dr. Peter Murano, director of the Institute for Obesity Research and Program Evaluation at Texas A&M and an AgriLife Research scientist, said the team is using standard methodologies to measure plate waste to determine whether "consumption differs for meals that include potatoes versus alternative vegetable sources."
"Importantly, we plan to quantify consumption/plate waste of not only potatoes, other starchy vegetables and non-starchy vegetables, but also for the entire lunch meal on 'potato days' versus 'non-potato days.'"
Murano said with this information they plan to determine if the presence of potatoes and other starchy vegetables enhances consumption and minimizes plate waste of the entire meal.
Nutritional and cost implications of the Food and Nutrition Service regulations are also part of the research.
The research team consists of "plate waste warriors." The warriors are Texas A&M students who are paid by the hour. Each wears a different colored apron that is associated with the assigned waste bin the entrée is discarded. A minimum of seven workers is needed at each school during the lunch periods (typically 10:45 a.m. through 1 p.m.) The A&M students gather trays containing leftover portions.
Leftovers are separated into different waste bags and each bag is weighed on a scale for plate-waste measurement. When the student goes through the lunch line, a sticker is placed on the food tray to identify the vegetable entrée. Students on the free lunch program are also evaluated for plate waste.
Capps said approximately five to 10 lunches are purchased and each food tray with entrees is weighed prior to serving.
"After they have finished eating, they are guided to where they are to take their leftover tray of food," Capps said.
The student hands their tray to the waste warrior who then dumps each individual leftover entrée into the appropriate trash bin. After each group has eaten, each bag is weighed.
Murano said he has noted many observations during the lunch visits.
"A percentage of students will return food trays after lunch with very little eaten – milk carton unopened, fruit and vegetables untouched, a lot of food is wasted," he said. "Anecdotally comparing fruit and vegetable consumption (not a focus of our project), it appears fruit is much more popular than vegetables. Also, students seem much more likely to choose two fruits as sides rather than two vegetables. And when potato products are served (mashed potatoes, potato wedges, tater tots, etc), just about every student chooses the vegetable."
Capps said another component of the study is "to compare calories, sodium dietary fiber to see if there is a significant difference in nutritional value, comparing waste on that."
"There is potential difference in cost of starchy versus non-starchy foods and plate waste," Capps said. "Overall, it's a well-organized study and joint collaboration with the Institute for Obesity."
Plate waste studies have been done before, Capps said, "but not to this extent."
"We think we have an excellent design for this plate waste study," he said. "We said 'let's take a look at potato meals and non-potato meals and see what the waste is versus nutritional value.'"
Murano said when the analysis of the data is completed, regardless of what they find in terms of vegetable consumption, comparing kindergarten through fifth graders' consumption of potato products to other starchy vegetables (e.g., corn, green peas, beans) to non-starchy vegetables (e.g., green beans, carrots, salads, broccoli) will provide valuable information about the vegetables consumed and plate waste.
He said such information would be valuable to school food service managers, school administration, and even parents.
Murano said schools understand the importance of taste that drives adult and children's food choices, "and the importance of regularly introducing less popular, but healthy, vegetables to students to increase the likelihood of trying and liking them."
"Schools can attempt to increase consumption of specific foods through conducting taste tests with the school children," he said. "In addition, some schools invite local farmers to discuss how they plant and cultivate specific fruits and vegetables and how these nutrient-dense foods are a key part of a healthy diet."
Murano said the school district dietitians spend a lot of time planning meals that offer a variety of foods popular with students as well as meeting the new 2012 Nutrition Standards for School Meals – the new federal guidelines for school breakfast and lunch.
"These new guidelines are in line with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Schools are required to offer at least minimum quantities of all vegetable subgroups (dark green, red/orange, beans/peas (legumes), and starches. This change is intended to encourage student consumption from all subgroups and is consistent with the DGAs' recommendation to increase the variety of vegetables consumed."
Murano said the schools know what food items the students are choosing, but they don't necessarily know the specific consumption and waste behaviors.
"This information is central to our research project, and underlines the importance of plate-waste data collection, he said. "Our research will tell us not only the vegetables that are wasted the most, but also the nutrients the students are not receiving by choosing not to eat particular vegetables, and of course the economic cost. In any research scenario where it is found that healthy food items are being wasted, strategies must be developed and implemented to increase consumption. These may include conducting taste tests, providing nutrition education and implementing successful health promotion interventions."
Final results of the study will be available in March.

Power Query: More Haste Less Steps Part 1
20 April 2022
Welcome to our Power Query blog. This week, I look a query with too many steps.
I have created a Dates query:
I have deliberately gone the long way round to create this query! Ignoring the first three steps, it has taken me twelve steps to achieve my goal.
The first task was to create a Month Name column with a short month name. This takes up six steps. First, I duplicate the Date Column, creating a 'Duplicated Column' step:
Then I use the Date transformation on the Transform tab to convert the new column to hold the 'Name of Month', creating an 'Extracted Month Name' step.
Next, I used 'Split Column' on the Transform tab to split the column 'By Positions', creating a 'Split Column by Position' step:
This automatically generated a 'Changed Type1' step. I then had to delete the unwanted column, creating a 'Removed Column' step and rename the one I wanted to keep to 'month', creating a 'Renamed Column1' step:
I then took another five steps to create a 'Quarter' column. I duplicated the Date column again (Duplicated Column1) and used the Date transformation again, this time to get the Quarter, creating a 'Calculated Quarter' step.
I then decided I wanted to have a 'Q' in front of it, so I converted the column to data type text using the dropdown from the data type icon, creating a 'Changed Type2' step:
I then added a 'Custom Column' from the Home tab to add the 'Q' ('Added Custom'):
Then I deleted the Date – Copy column which held the original quarter value ('Removed Column1') and decided to rename the month column to 'Month Name' ('Renamed Column2').
Next time I'll have a look at how this number of steps may be reduced whilst still using the User Interface (UI). How many steps do you think I will need?
Come back next time for more ways to use Power Query!

Fast heating induced impulse halogenation of refractory sample components in electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry by direct injection of a liquid halogenating agent
Faculty of Sciences. Chemistry
Talanta : the international journal of pure and applied analytical chemistry. - Oxford, 1958, currens
, p. _PHONE_
University of Antwerp
A novel electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) method was developed for the halogenation of refractory sample components (Er, Nd and Nb) of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and bismuth tellurite (Bi2TeO5) optical single crystals to overcome memory effects and carry-over. For this purpose, the cleaning step of a regular graphite furnace heating program was replaced with a halogenation cycle. In this cycle, after the graphite tube cooled to room temperature, a 20 μL aliquot of liquid carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was dispensed with a conventional autosampler into the graphite tube. The CCl4 was partially dried at 80 °C under the mini-flow (40 cm3 min−1) condition of the Ar internal furnace gas (IFG), then the residue was decomposed (pyrolyzed) by fast furnace heating at _PHONE_ °C under interrupted flow of the IFG. This step was followed by a clean-out stage at 2100 °C under the maximum flow of the IFG. The advantage of the present method is that it does not require any alteration to the graphite furnace gas supply system in contrast to most of the formerly introduced halogenation techniques. The effectiveness of the halogenation method was verified with the determination of Er and Nd dopants in the optical crystals. In these analyses, a sensitivity decrease was observed, which was likely due to the enhanced deterioration of the graphite tube surface. Therefore, the application of mathematical correction (resloping) of the calibration was also required. The calibration curves were linear up to 1.5 and 10 μmol L−1 for Er and Nd, respectively. Characteristic masses of 18 and 241 pg and the limit of detection (LOD) values of 0.017 and 0.27 μmol L−1 were found for Er and Nd, respectively. These LOD data correspond to 0.68 μmol mol−1 Er and 11 μmol mol−1 Nd in solid bismuth tellurite samples. The analytical results were compared with those obtained by a conventional ETAAS method and validated with X-ray fluorescence spectrometry analysis.

text: Metastable ϵ-Fe2O3 is a unique phase of iron oxide, which exhibits a giant coercivity field. In this work, we grew epitaxial ϵ-Fe2O3 films on flexible two-dimensional muscovite substrates via quasi van der Waals epitaxy. It turns out that twinning and interface energies have been playing essential roles in stabilizing metastable ϵ-Fe2O3 on mica substrates. Moreover, the weak interfacial bonding between ϵ-Fe2O3 and mica is expected to relieve the substrate clamping effect ubiquitously encountered in films epitaxially grown on rigid substrates, such as SrTiO3. It is anticipated that these flexible ϵ-Fe2O3 thin films can serve as a platform for exploring possible interesting emergent physical properties and eventually be integrated as flexible functional devices.
