The ultra-quiet OP-50 preamp features easy-to-use 4-band EQ. By cutting or boosting your guitar's signal at 87 Hz, 580 Hz, 6.7 kHz, and 12 kHz, you can accurately tailor your sound to any musical environment. Dual XLR and 1/4" output jacks connect the OP-50 to virtually any sound system, stage amp, or recording console, and eliminate the need for an external direct box. Equipped with an easy-to-read LED array, the onboard chromatic tuner works for standard, open, or altered tunings, and can be calibrated to non-standard reference pitches.
How the OP-50 Works:
- VOLUME: Adjusts the overall output level of the preamp.
- BASS: Adds or subtracts the low frequency content of the signal.
- MID: Controls the amount of a broad range of frequencies in the middle of the soun
- MID1: Controls the amount of power in lower middle frequencies.
- MID2: Controls the amount of power in upper middle frequencies.
- TREBLE: Adds or subtracts the high frequency content of the signal.
- EQ IN/OUT: Engages or bypasses the EQ controls.
- PRESHAPE: Engages or bypasses a fixed tone enhancement circuit.
- MID SHIFT: Moves the center frequency of the midrange control.
- NOTCH SW: Enables or disables the Notch Filter (see 11).
- NOTCH POT: This control is used to tune a very sharp and deep filter designed to reduce feedback when using high-gain amplification. At a high volume level, your guitar may "feedback" causing a low, steady tone to come from your speakers. With the notch filter enabled, slowly tune this control to the feedback frequency (CW=higher frequency, CCW=lower frequency) until the feedback is reduced.
- TUNE/CAL: This switch turns on the built-in tuner for approximately 60 seconds. Press a second time while playing a note and this pitch will become the calibration point for operation (handy when tuning to an "out-of tune" instrument). During the tuning operation the guitar output will be muted. If you finish tuning prior to the 60 second timer returning the tuner to idle (and un-mute), you may press this button again to manually return the preamp to normal operation.
- TUNER LEDs: These LEDs indicate the note being played and whether it's sharp or flat. Tune string up or down until the LED lights.
- BAT: When steadily illuminated, indicates that the battery is low and should be changed soon. Also intermittently flashes when plug is inserted into jack to confirm normal operation.
- RELEASE: Pressing this button will release the module from its receptacle. Use this button to access to the battery compartment.
- MODULE: The preamp is housed within this module and mates to the receptacle mounted in the body. Remove this module to gain access to the battery compartment. See the illustration below for instructions on replacing the battery.

HydroColor is a water quality application that uses the iPhone camera to determine the reflectance of natural water bodies. Using this information, HydroColor can estimate water turbidity (0-80 NTU), concentration of suspended particulate matter (SPM) (g/m^3) and the backscattering coefficient in the red (1/m). IMPORTANT: HydroColor requires the use of an 18% photographers gray card as a reference. Gray cards are widely available at photography shops and online. Visit the supporting website for more information on gray cards.
HydroColor has an easy to use interface that guides users through the collection of three images: a gray card image, a sky image, and a water image. To ensure the best results, HydroColor taps into the iPhone's GPS, gyroscope, and compass to aid users in the collection of these images. After images are collected they can be analyzed immediately. In the analysis of the images, HydroColor calculates the reflectance of the water body in the RGB color channels of the camera. It then uses the reflectance values to determine the turbidity of the water in NTU (nephelometric turbidity units).
The data is instantly saved and can be accessed again via HydroColor or downloaded onto a computer from the documents folder (accessible in iTunes). The text file contains additional information about the measurement including: latitude, longitude, date, time, sun zenith, sun azimuth, phone heading, phone pitch, exposure values, RGB reflectance, and turbidity.
How it works:
HydroColor uses the iPhone camera as simple light sensor (photometer). Relative light intensity can be measured by normalizing the camera pixel values by the exposure. Therefore, the three color channels of the camera (RGB: Red, Green, Blue) provide a measure of light intensity in three regions of the visible spectrum.
The light intensity measured in the water image is corrected for sky reflection off the surface (using the sky image). The corrected water image provides the intensity and color of light emanating from the water. This is normalized by the ambient illumination using the gray card image. The final product is a nearly illumination independent measure of the water's reflectance, known as remote sensing reflectance. In oceanography, satellites are used to calculate the same product (remote sensing reflectance) from space.
The reflectance is directly related to the amount and type of suspended particles in the water. An increase in turbidly (i.e. suspended sediments) will cause greater scattering of light and increase the overall reflectance of the water. Particles containing pigments, such as phytoplankton (algae), will absorb light in specific regions of the visible spectrum. Thus, pigment containing particles can be detected by comparing the relative reflectance in the RGB channels.
The method HydroColor uses to measure reflectance has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Sensors and is freely available online (note: HydroColor has been updated to use RAW data from the camera sensor since this publication):

one or more of the following.
Drag
Manipulator Values
Different manipulators will have you set different values to fill out. Rather than listing every possible combination, here is what each means individually. Each value type has the same meaning, regardless of Manipulator Type chosen.
If a value is connected to a dataref
Common Manipulator Values
 - Drag X - Length of X axis (meters)
 - Drag Y - Length of Y axis (meters)
 - Drag Z - Length of Z axis (meters)
 - Value 1 - Value 1 of the range of values over which a Drag Axis manipulator changes it's dataref

 - Value 2 Max - Maximum for a 2D Drag manipulator's dataref 2 range (-y to +y)
 - On Value - On value for toggle (must match value of dataref)
 - Off Value - Off value for toggle (must match value of dataref)
Command Manipulator Values
 - Command - The command to fire when manipulator is used
 - Positive Command - Command to be executed when cursor is in positive region of Command Axis manipulator and mouse is being held down
 - Negative Command - Command to be executed when cursor is in negative region of Command Axis manipulator and mouse is being held down
 - Dataref 1 - The first dataref to be modified by the manipulator
 - Dataref 2 - The second dataref to be modified by the manipulator
 - Step - Dataref increment
Mouse Manipulator Values
 - Value On Mouse Down - Value to set dataref on mouse down
 - Value On Mouse Up - Value to set dataref on mouse up
 - Value On Mouse Hold - Value to set dataref on mouse hold
 - Click Step - Value change on click
 - Hold Step - Value change on hold
 - Wheel Delta - Value change on mouse wheel tick
 - Exp - Power of an exponential curve that controls the speed at which the dataref changes. Higher numbers cause a more "non-linear" response, where small drags are very precise and large drags are very fast
LODs
LODs - Four checkboxes that determine which levels of detail X-Plane should place this object. By default all boxes empty, meaning place in every LOD catagory LOD ranges are defined in the layer settings.
Override Weight
Weight - An int used to offset the order in which similar elements are written to the Obj, by default 0. Needs better desc.
Custom Object Properties
Objects can have custom properties (another name for attribute) as well. These will get written directly to the OBJ in the form of
Name - The name of the custom property Value - The value of the property Reset - OBJ attributes often come in pairs, such as ATTR_light_level and ATTR_no_light_level. An attribute may be turned on at the beginning of an object in an OBJ, and turned off (aka reset) in time for the next one. In the case of ATTR_whatever, if it was never turned off every object afterward would take on that attribute. The value for Reset will be written before the next object starts. Weight - An int. The larger the weight the later it gets written in the OBJ
Custom Animation Properties
Objects can also have custom animation properties. These also get written directly to the OBJ in the form of Name Value with no validation.
Name - The custom animation directive to be written out. ANIM_ is not prepended Value - The value for the custom animation direcitve. Weight - An int. Attempts to change the order of the properties, with larger numbers written later.
Object Conditionalization
Objects X-Plane 10 supports the conditionalization of OBJ files. Conditionalization is a process whereby the contents of a file are skipped or used depending on rendering settings. Typical uses of conditionalization are to change the appearance of an object when shadows are enabled, or when HDR is on.
Variable - A dropdown menu of "Global Shadows","HDR", and "Version 10x", "Global Shadows". Must Be On - A checkbox which, when checked, tells X-Plane this rendering variable must be on to draw the variable. If unchecked, it tells X-Plane this rendering variable must be off to draw the variable. Removing the conditional lets X-Plane make its own decisions.

What is a Non-Traditional Student?
There is no definitive definition of 'non-traditional student'. The term is generally used to refer to students who belong to groups who did not traditionally enter the higher education system in significant numbers.
Historically, most students who entered higher education in Ireland shared common characteristics. They were:
- from middle class backgrounds,
- of school leaving age (usually eighteen or nineteen),
- spoke English as their first language,
- had no disabilities,
- studied full time with no significant external responsibilities.
This is beginning to change as more students from 'non-traditional' backgrounds enter university.
Any student who does not share all the characteristics noted above can be considered a non-traditional student. For example:
- TAP students,
- Mature students,
- International Students,
- Students from ethnic minorities,
- Disabled Students,
- Students who are parents / carers,
- Part-time students.
The numbers of students entering Trinity from non-traditional backgrounds has increased greatly over the past decade.
Some non-traditional students enter Trinity College via specialist access routes:
- Access Initiatives (TAP),
- Mature Students' Dispensation Scheme,
- Supplementary Admissions Procedure for students with disabilities.
As non-traditional students come from diverse backgrounds, their needs are diverse. Specific needs arise for many different reasons. For example, students may have to balance academic study with external responsibilities, manage disabilities, or cope with studying within an unfamiliar educational culture or working through English, when is not their first language.
Higher level teaching and assessment methods have been developed to suit the needs of the traditional student body and often do not take account of the varied needs of a diverse student body.
TIC is designed to respond to the needs of the modern student population by enabling staff to embed inclusive practices within their teaching and assessment.

Background and Identification
The Ford Focus is a compact car (known as the C-segment in Europe) manufactured by the Ford Motor Company, an American automaker, since July 1998. The original Focus vehicles were designed by Ford's British and German teams. The Ford Focus replaced the Mazda Familia in Asia and Oceania and the Escort in North America. Focus production began in North America in 1999. Ford Focus production ended in May 2018 for North American plants, though the production of fourth-generation Ford Focus vehicles started in other countries.
In 1999, the first-generation Focus was awarded the European Car of the year award. The Focus was originally launched as a five-door wagon, four-door sedan, and three-door hatchback. In 2001, a five-door hatchback variant was launched.
The second-generation Focus was launched in 2004 as a three- and five-door hatchback and four-door sedan. Beginning in 2007, Focus was marketed in North America as two-door coupes and four-door sedans. The hatchback and wagon variants were discontinued in North America during this second generation.
The third-generation Focus reunited the North American and international models beginning in 2010. The fourth generation of Focus vehicles was unveiled in 2018 for the European and Asian markets.
Ford vehicles can be identified by the Ford emblem, which depicts the name "Ford" in a cursive font. Focus models include an emblem with the name "Focus" in different fonts throughout its production.

S'pore Flat Paints Ang Ku Kuih, Kuih Lapis & More To Help The Elderly Find Their Way Home
While taking a morning walk around her neighbourhood, a woman discovered beautiful murals of nostalgic items on the walls of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4, a Housing and Development Board (HDB) estate in Singapore
The murals feature familiar, retro items such as White Rabbit candy, ang ku kuih, kuih lapis, satay, the iconic rooster bowl and kopi cup, painted tiffin carriers, tang yuan, and other age-old designs.
After spotting these murals, she shared pictures of the artwork to a Facebook group, Singapore Hikers. The post has since received 1,100 likes at the time of writing.
In her post, she explains that these murals are part of a wayfinding project to aid persons living with dementia and the elderly in recognising their surroundings
The murals are strategically painted on the HDB void deck walls with their respective block numbers. Since most of the blocks look the same, the artwork is large and distinguishable so people can easily spot them from afar and identify their blocks.
The murals were painted in 2020 as part of an initiative by Singapore's Alzheimer's Disease Association (ADA) to build dementia-friendly communities
For the elderly, these classic items may spark memories, which helps them identify their surroundings. These eye-catching murals serve as visual markers to guide the elderly and persons with dementia or Alzheimer's to navigate around the neighbourhood.

An author of experimental poetry
Herberto Helder is a poet who falls within the broad context of universal poetic culture. His poetic universe is autonomous and has its own characteristics.
Considered as one of the most important experimental or concrete poet, he is also known as a visionary poet, holding a special place in the Portuguese surrealist poetry. It can be thus be seen that the work of Herberto elder is complex and undoubtedly one of the highest expressions of contemporary Portuguese poetry.
With Herberto Helder the reader won't expect a world completely built. Instead, he will find a world with a different shape, a shape that is dictated by issues of rhythm, of words with isolated meaning. It is therefore reliving, and no longer reproducing, which moves Herberto Helder.
Herberto Helder, person and poet, appears as a mystical figure within the history of Portuguese poetry, completely withdrawing from any circuit of visibility.

The coal exploitation in the Upper Silesia region (along the Vistula River) triggers the strata seismic activity, characterized by very high energy, which can create mining damage of the surface objects, without any noticeable damages in the underground mining structures. It is assumed that the appearance of the high energy seismic events is the result of faults' activation in the vicinity of the mining excavation. This paper presents the analysis of a case study of one coal mine, where during exploitation of the longwall panel no. 729, the high energy seismic events occurred in the faulty neighborhood. The authors had analyzed the cause of the presented seismic events, described the methods of energy decreasing and applied methods of prevention in the selected mining region. The analysis concluded that the cause of the high energy seismic events, during the exploitation of the longwall panel no. 729 was the rapid displacements on the fault surface. The fault's movements arose in the overburden, about 250 m above the excavated longwall panel, and they were strictly connected to the cracking of the thick sandstone layer.
The paper presents a new geotechnical solution indicating a possibility of effective building structures protection. The presented solutions enable minimization of negative effects of underground mining operations. Results of numerical modelling have been presented for an example of design of preventive ditches reducing the influence of mining operations on the ground surface. To minimize the mining damage or to reduce its reach it is reasonable to look for technical solutions, which would enable effective protection of building structures. So far authors concentrated primarily on the development of building structure protection methods to minimize the damage caused by the underground mining. The application of geotechnical methods, which could protect building structures against the mining damage, was not considered so far in scientific papers. It should be noticed that relatively few publications are directly related to those issues and there are no practical examples of effective geotechnical protection. This paper presents a geotechnical solution indicating a possibility of effective protection of building structures. The presented solutions enable minimization of negative effects of underground mining operations. Results of numerical modelling have been presented for an example of design of preventive ditches reducing the influence of mining operations on the ground surface. The calculations were carried out in the Abaqus software, based on the finite element method.

Role of the Teacher
This article discusses specific examples of virtually mediated interactions involving two transatlantic groups of student-teachers who engaged in a task-based telecollaborative project for the purposes of a teacher education course.
The Vygotskyan framework of learning and development and particularly the construct of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) in a collaborative frame serve as the theoretical basis of this study. This article aims to: (1) analyze the essentially language-mediated interactions to trace instantiations of virtual collaboration developmentally (2) discuss teacher learning outcomes of the (tele)collaborative activity, and (3) examine learning as expansion of what was explicitly proposed as objectives of the course, resulting from reasoned action i.e., reflection on the process and outcomes of the activity. The findings suggest that the effective integration of telecollaborative activities in pre-service teacher education programmes can enhance teacher learning in significant ways.

Condition Monitoring
Regular post-treatment monitoring for changes in condition is imperative as the causes of deterioration, soluble salts, are still present, and mitigation of deterioration depends on environmental control.
Post-treatment condition monitoring program
The nature and extent of treatment undertaken in Cave 85 requires the implementation of a post-treatment condition monitoring plan. The principal remedial treatments of the wall paintings, injection grouting and soluble-salt reduction, were undertaken on a large scale, reflecting pre-treatment conditions of extensive areas of plaster detachment and widespread salt contamination of the plaster and rock substrate. The scale of the interventions was matched by their high-risk nature. Grouting is both an invasive and imprecise intervention. Similarly, the reduction of soluble salts is also potentially hazardous, risking the redistribution of soluble salts, particularly in the case of earthen plasters. Moreover, remedial treatment was not a means of halting the complex and diverse range of environmental deterioration processes in the cave. Thus, a condition monitoring strategy must also reflect the continuing vulnerability of the plaster and paint materials, and anticipate all other aspects of potential future deterioration.
High resolution post-treatment documentation photographs, photographic details in incident and raking light, post-treatment graphic documentation, and written notes of specific monitoring areas provide the basis for assessing change. The monitored areas included representative examples of all recorded deterioration phenomena, and both treated and untreated areas. Given the difficulty of assessing painting condition, training of personnel is a critical component of the monitoring program.

An empirical approach to river bed degradation.
Degradation in a homogeneous alluvial channel due to complete stoppage of sediment downstream of a high capacity reservoir has been studied empirically. Based on dimensional analysis, a method has been established for predicting transient bed profiles in degrading alluvial stream. In addition, prediction procedures for other degradation elements like maximum degradation at any time at upstream section and degradation extent has also been evolved. The prediction procedures when tested against known data gave satisfactory results.

National Archaeology Day in the Arizona Desert
October 26, 2011
On National Archaeology Day the Central Arizona Society participated in a mudslinging activity at Pueblo Grande Museum in Phoenix, AZ. Mudslinging is a stabilization technique for earthen structures, and the AIA volunteers worked with the Pueblo Grande Museum Mudslingers - a volunteer organization that has worked at Pueblo Grande for eighteen years. Pueblo Grande Museum presents and conserves the Native American ruins, including an earthen platform mound, from the Hohokam culture that lived in central Arizona between 450 and 1450.
Mudslinging involves four basic steps:
1) Remove the loose/flaky earth
2) Wet the wall surface
3) Sling the freshly produced mud onto the surface
4) Smooth the new surface.
The Pueblo Grande Museum Mudslingers volunteer one Saturday morning a month (9-10 months a year), and the work that was done on Saturday will last for three to four years.
The Bayon Information Center in Siem Reap, Cambodia has joined as a new Collaborating Organization for International Archaeology Day 2013.
The Legacy: Hands on the Past, Center for Archaeological Research at The University of Texas at San Antonio and Frank H. McClung Museum at the University of Tennessee Knoxville have returned for International Archaeology Day 2013.
This week, the AIA has paired with two new organizations to promote International Archaeology Day 2013.

Can Chickens Fly
Many people want to know if chickens can fly, and what to do with backyard chickens in regards to flight. So, can chickens fly? In short, yes they can. However, they cannot fly very far or very high, and are not known for their flying abilities. We will cover a few common questions about chicken flight, including how high they can go, how far, and what to do with a flighty bird.
The chicken flight records show that chickens don't have a great ability to fly. The longest recorded flight of a chicken was 13 seconds, and the farthest distance recorded was over 301 feet. Although these are impressive by chicken standards, consider that birds like eagles can fly over 125 miles without landing.
Different breeds and birds have different abilities. One breed that is known for being able to fly well is the Wyandotte. These birds start flying at a young age and are known to be more flighty birds, although they don't fly well. On the other hand, frizzle chickens often cannot even jump up onto a perch due to their funny feathering!
Let's look at why chickens fly. There are many reasons your poultry may take to the air, but a few are most common. First, chickens will often fly when being chased or when they feel like they are in danger. Flight is a great survival mechanism, helping your flock get away from a predator or threat.
Chickens also fly out of curiosity and perseverance. If they see literal or proverbial greener grass, they may go to investigate. Chickens are extremely determined birds, and will do what they can to see what is going on on the other side of a fence. If there are good pickins on the other side of the fence, your birds may want to see what they can find.
Finally, chickens may fly to find a place to roost. Some breeds may be more prone to this than others. Ameraucanas, for example, love to perch up in trees. They may do this at dusk, or during the day to take a nap. They may jump from branch to branch and get pretty high up there! We've seen our ladies up ten feet or more in the tree.
How Far Can Chickens Fly?
So, can chickens fly long distances? They cannot. When they do fly, it tends to be just a few feet at a time. Many lighter breeds are able to fly a few meters at a time, but this is rare. During a scuffle with another chicken or a predator, you may see your flock taking a low and quick flight a few meters away. In more dramatic cases when a chicken is really trying to escape something, they often will travel over fifty feet in the air.
How High Can Chickens Fly?
This is another common question we hear quite a bit. People ask can chickens fly over fences, walls, or onto roofs. Like many other questions related to chicken flight, it really depends on the breed. Heavier chickens may top out at four feet, while lighter chickens often can reach up to seven feet. Chickens will jump up into trees, onto fences, or onto roofs often in steps. If there is something near a fence for a chicken to jump up to first, they may be able to get over. However, they can be trained to not clear fences or the roof.
According to Live Science, the most simple explanations are that chickens have too small of wings, and they are too large and heavy to fly. However, they were not always that way as we point out in our post 19 Interesting Facts about Chickens. Through selective breeding, we have domesticated chickens today that are larger and less flight-prone than their ancestors, the jungle fowl.
Clipping Your Chicken's Wings
Clipping a chicken's wings is considered harsh by some, while many choose to do it. It does not harm your chicken, but will dramatically impact their ability to fly. By clipping just the flight wings, the birds are prevented from gaining lift. They can still fly and escape danger, but it is much more difficult for them to get good air. Do your research to see if this is right for you. If you're interested in clipping your chickens' wings, make sure you do it right. You can find a good guide to clipping chicken wings from Permaculture.

From the Cheomseongdae observatory in Silla to modern semiconductor technology, the history of science and civilization in Korea will be published in the Science and Civilization in Korea (SCK) series. Funded by the Ministry of Education, and directed by the Korean Studies Promotion Service under the Academy of Korean Studies, the large-scale publishing project will receive an investment of 5 billion won for 10 years from December 2010 to November 2020. The Korean Research Institute of Science, Technology and Civilization (Director Shin Dongwon) has been installed at Chonbuk National University to take charge of operations. Following the example of the Science and Civilisation in China series published by the Needham Research Institute in Cambridge, the center plans to release its own collection of science and civilization in Korea.
Targeted at both general readers and scholars, the Science and Civilization in Korea series will consist of 37 volumes – 16 on pre-modern history, 14 on modern and contemporary times, and 7 in English. The project has been proceeding in 3 phases (3+3+4 years). The first 3-year phase that commenced in December 2010 will produce 11 Korean volumes and 1 English volume. The Korean volumes focus on the following topics.
- Donguibogam and the History of East Asian Medicine
- History of Traditional Korean Geography
- History of Transportation in Pre-Modern Korea
- Science and Technology in the Sejong Era
- Traditional Science and Western Science
- History of Astronomy in Korea
- The Beginnings of Modern Science and Technology
- Korea's Green Revolution and Modern Agriculture
- Structure of S&T Revolution in Modern Korea
- Establishment and Development of Research Institutes in Korea
- History of Science and Technology Polices in Modern Korea
The Korean series will be published by Dulnyouk Publishing. Encompassing both traditional and modern history, the series attempts to challenge the stereotypical view of East Asian science and civilization that regards Western science as the yardstick, and to introduce distinct characteristics of Korea without being shadowed by Chinese ethnocentrism. This will present the world with a more accurate picture of science and civilization in Korea, and provide a model for the development of science and technology in developing countries based on the standards set by Korea in recent times. This series is expected to play a significant role in forming a balanced understanding of science and civilization not only in Korea, but to the whole of East Asia.
The followings are the topics for phase 2.
- Bronze and Iron Technology in Ancient Korea
- Civil Works in Ancient Korea
- Korean Alphabet (Hangeul) and Korean Civilization
- Women in Korean History of Science
- Science and Religion in Korea
Topics for phase 3 have been temporarily scheduled as follows.
- Industrial Revolution in Korea
- Modern History of Medicine in Korea
- History of Engineers in Korea
- Ideological/Social/Historical Background of Science and Technology in Korea
- History of Mathematics in Korea
- Farming Technology and Korean Civilization
- History of Natural History in Korea
- Ceramic Technology and Korean Civilization
- Printing/Papermaking and Korean Civilization
- Military Technology and Korean Civilization
- History of Architecture in Korea
- History of Biology in Modern and Contemporary Korea
- Development History of Semiconductor Technology in Korea
- Social History of Science and Technology in Korea
- History of Science and Civilization in Korea (to be covered in Korean)
SCK English volumes
The 7 English volumes will be prepared in English and distributed through the Cambridge University Press. This series will examine the history and characteristics of traditional and modern science in Korea. Through this comprehensive exploration, we hope to expand our knowledge of the history of science in East Asia and beyond. Traditional Korean science reached a very high level of scholarly achievement in many disciplines, including astronomy, geomancy, mathematics, and medicine. It accomplished this in conjunction with Chinese and Japanese science, but science in each of these three countries developed its own unique characteristics. The relationship between Chinese civilization and Korean science could probably be compared to that between Roman civilization and English science. During the modern period, Korea is a rare example of a destitute developing country in which science grew rapidly within a very short time, helping catapult the nation to advanced industrialized status. By understanding the history of science in Korea, a minor civilization, we can deepen and expand our understanding of the history of science in East Asia and throughout the world.
East Asian culture is often understood as a single cultural sphere with China at its center. However, even in China, many cultures have existed. Also, interchanges among China, Korea, and Japan played a substantial role in the formation and development of East Asian culture. Because of its location, Korea played a crucial role in these interchanges, as a bridge between the Chinese continent and the Japanese archipelago. Therefore, it is essential to understand Korean history of science in order to understand the history of science and civilization in East Asia.
Although Korea, China, and Japan share traditions, they also developed extensive traditions specific to each. While Chinese and Japanese traditions are relatively well known, Korean traditions are known to a much smaller degree. For example, people rarely know about Hangul's role in the dissemination of scientific knowledge; the development of metal culture in Korea, including printing types; or Korea's unique progress in medicine and cartography. By exploring both universal and specific aspects of the history of Korean science, this series will locate that history within the larger context of East Asian and world science.
This series adopts an approach different from that of previous books on the history of science in China and Japan. First, it avoids the sinocentric and modernistic biases. Joseph Needham's Science and Civilization in China is a masterpiece that presents the remarkable achievements made by Chinese science and civilization in various disciplines. However, it rarely discusses how Chinese science was influenced by interactions with the sciences in neighboring countries like Korea and Japan. It also tends to judge traditional science from the perspective of modern science. We intend to discuss the history of science in Korea in the context of its interaction with science in other East Asian countries. This will enable us to organically understand East Asian civilizations within the framework of the dynamic between center and periphery rather than just offer a parallel history of science of another country. Second, we avoid a nationalistic approach. Recently, scholars of China, Japan, and Korea have tended to describe each country's history of science as an independent entity, based on a nationalist perspective, rather than understanding it as part of the larger history of East Asian science. Instead, we will address both the universal and specific characteristics of each national history of science.
Considering the level of achievement in traditional science in Korea, the rapid development of modern science there is unsurprising. Korean science had always kept up with the level of science in China throughout the historical era and in some ways surpassed it during King Sejong's reign. In general, although traditional Korean science was not necessarily pioneering, it disseminated, intensified, and modified scientific achievements imported from neighboring countries. It also contributed to the development of some disciplines at the "center" by providing feedback, a pattern that continued to the modern era. By focusing on ways in which science in the "periphery" contributes to the dissemination, modification, and intensification of science in the "center" our study of Korean science will also expend understanding of the history of world science.
Topics for SCK (E) have been temporarily scheduled as follows.
- History of Science and Technology in Korea
- History of Astronomy in Korea
- Compressed Development of Science and Technology under the Authoritarian Regime in South Korea
- History of the Body and Medicine in Korean Civilization
- Source Book for the Korean History of Science
- Mathematics and the History of Korean Civilization

New York Ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis) is found in moist areas in the wild but will also flourish in a garden with medium soil. Native to the eastern portion of the United States, this species is hardy up to zone 5. The species tolerates clay and acidic conditions well. It attracts butterflies and the seed heads are a food source for birds. New York Ironweed's tall, narrow growth habit makes it ideal for placement in borders or to fill in tight spaces in the garden. The species has a naturally low germination rate, hence over-seeding is recommended.
Cold, moist stratification required. Mix seeds with moist substrate (vermiculite, perlite or moss) and place in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 6-8 weeks. Sow seed at 1/8 inch depth. Do not let seedling dry out while it is establishing.
Sow directly outdoors in late fall to overwinter.

The International Crisis Group (ICG) recently released a report summarizes the challenges that the Haitian government has faced in rebuilding Port au Prince and facilitating resettlement of the internally displaced. Chief among these challenges has been the lack of a formal land tenure system. While several communities have developed their own local solutions to land ownership, a strategy from the central government is needed. ICG notes that this will require political will, creativity, and consensus. To put off resettlement further is to put off a transition to development. Read more »

Event Archive - Galiano Ensemble Performs "Hungarian Inspiration": The Galiano Ensemble of Victoria
Wed. January 25th 2017 Phillip T. Young Recital Hall (Uvic) (All Ages)
8:00 pm doors at 7:30 pm
$33 ($30 seniors)
Tickets at: Ivy's Books, Munro's Books
You are warmly invited to join the Galiano Ensemble of Victoria for its first concert of 2017. The Ensemble will perform an assortment of enchanting pieces from several Hungarian composers and one Canadian composer.
Franz (Ferenc) Liszt was born in 1811 and was recognized as a virtuoso pianist from a young age. He was a conductor and prolific composer whose works are considered to have been very influential on 19th and 20th century composers. His Angélus! Prière aux anges gardiens (Prayer to the Guardian Angels) was dedicated to his granddaughter. This string orchestra arrangement was originally written for a melodeon (pump organ) or piano.
Bela Bartok was a composer, pianist and music teacher born in 1881. Bartok and Liszt are considered the two greatest Hungarian composers and Bartok is thought to have been one of the most important composers of the 20th century. Hungarian folks songs were a significant influence on his works. Bartok's Divertimento for String Orchestra was his last work, composed just before he reluctantly fled Hungary and emigrated to the United States in 1940 because of concerns about the war and his disdain for the Nazi regime.
Leó Weiner, a contemporary of Bartok, was a composer born in 1885. Weiner was also recognized as a leading Hungarian music educator during the first half of the 20th century. His interest in folk music is evident in many of his compositions including Hungarian Folk Tunes.
Srul Irving Glick, born in Toronto in 1934, was one of Canada's most prolific composers as well as a conductor, teacher and radio producer. He composed Suite Hébraïque No. 1 in 1961 while living in Paris and feeling nostalgic for his home and family. His father was a cantor and his affinity for Jewish music inspired many of his works.
Conductor Yariv Aloni and the orchestra are sure to provide an entertaining evening of chamber music so be certain to put this in your calendar and tell your friends!

Discan is both a scale and a method in clinical psychology. As a scale, it is a type of ordered-metric scaling that yields a scale with internal reliability, and scale-points in excess of the number of initial anchors, more than would be the case with the Likert scale, though not as many as are achieved by the Analog scale.
For example, four descriptive anchor-levels yield 14 scale-points. In Louis Thurstone's tradition, it is scored by paired-comparisons. Seeking optimality, it is a compromise between the competing merits and demerits of the Likert scale and the Analog scale. Its use in clinical psychology derives from the influence of the late M.B. Shapiro.

Discord has various features that make it far better than most of the social media platforms out there.
How To Do Spoilers On Discord
One of the features of Discord is the ability to mark the messages you send on Discord as Spoilers. If you think the image or the message you are sending has any sensitive material or spoilers,
then you can mark it as spoilers, which will be hidden unless the user views it at their own will. Adding Spoilers on Discord is easy and this article will help you with it if you don't know how to do it. In this article, we will be discussing how you can add spoilers to text, images, videos, or any other file on Discord.
Adding Spoiler To Text Messages
Adding Spoilers to messages is easy, and you can do it from your mobile and your PC. There are various ways to add spoilers to Discord, and given below are some of them-
Using Vertical Bar Symbol
The first way to mark messages as Spoiler is by using double vertical bars. All you have to do is add double vertical bars || at the beginning and end of the message you want to send.
For instance, if you want to send Hey to someone and mark it as a spoiler, then your message should look like this-
||Hey||
Using Advanced Options
Another way to do so is by using the advanced sections. Type in the message you want to send, and select the text.
Next, you will get advanced options; click on the Spoiler icon, which will mark the text as Spoiler.
Using Spoiler Command
You can also add Spoilers to text messages you send on Discord by using the spoiler command. To do so, type /spoiler command, press the Tab key, and then type your message.
You can either click on the Spoiler tab after typing the command. Your message with the spoiler command should look like this-
/spoiler hey

Much comparative research into education-related beliefs has exploited questionnaires developed in one culture for use in another. This has been particularly the case in mathematics education, the focus of this paper. In so doing, researchers have tended to assume that translation alone is sufficient to warrant a reliable and valid instrument for cross-cultural research, prompting concerns that a number of necessary equivalences are unlikely to have been addressed. In this paper, we consider the nature of these equivalences before examining the literature of a different field, healthcare research, to synthesise an approach to instrument adaptation that is pragmatic but rigorous. Finally, we demonstrate how this pragmatic approach, incorporating extensive cognitive interviews, enabled us to adapt and refine a mathematics-related beliefs questionnaire, developed in Flanders, for use with students aged 14?15 in England and Spain. Analyses indicate that the instrument so developed is multidimensional, reliable and cross-culturally valid. Some implications are discussed.

cell A specialized grouping of people, machines, tooling, and materials. The purpose of a cell is to efficiently produce small batches of parts.
cellular manufacturing A lean manufacturing method that uses specialized groupings of machines, people, and materials.
cycle time The time that elapses from the beginning to the end of a process.
error detection The inspection of a part during and after production to determine if errors have occurred. Error detection does not try to prevent errors.
error prevention A continuous improvement method that studies why and how errors occur and looks for ways to keep them from happening again.
finishing A process such as painting or sanding that is performed after a workpiece is fully constructed.
fixturing The secure clamping of a part during various machining operations.
flow shop A manufacturing facility that produces one or two similar products using high-volume specialized equipment. An assembly line is an example of a flow shop.
in-process inspection The inspection of a part during production to detect errors. Errors that are detected early may allow the part to be reworked or prevented from continuing through the manufacturing process.
intermediate fixture A workholding device that uses subplates and standardized fixtures to minimize the need for relocating after tool changeovers.
internal customer A department or individual within the company that relies on others to satisfy the external customer. For any cell, the next cell in a process is always the internal customer.
inventory Temporary or long-term storage of parts or products that are either finished or in progress. With pull systems, inventory is eliminated.
job shop A manufacturing facility that produces several different products in smaller batches. A machine shop is a type of job shop.
kaizen A Japanese word that means "change for the better." Kaizen is a combination of maintenance, problem solving, and innovation that is generally performed by a team.
kanban A Japanese word meaning "card signal." It represents any visual method used to show the need for parts or products to be moved or produced.

Sourcing out of KEYWORD VALUES from saved documents and files
qa-featured
The keyword values cannot be sourced out of the file and cannot be saved because they are related to specific fields in the file.
But there is a slight chance that you can use the values first to save them somewhere else. Follow the steps.
 1. Open the keyword values page or wherever they are placed.
 2. Copy all the values from there.
 3. Open a notepad and paste all the values that you copied before.
 4. Save the txt as "abc.PRF".
 5. Once done it will be now a Process resource file.
If you still can't do this then convert it to any other format that is legal, like the pdf or any other. The steps will be almost the same as the above; you just have to change the extension in the inverted commas from the last step.

The phrase along gives the direction to print. I think of the player as facing east, so printing along South means printing left to right. What happens if the along phrase is changed to each of the following:
 - along north?
 - along west?
 - along east?
Keeping Score in the Sky
field scoreIn Grandma's Chickens, I used a similar function to keep score of how many chickens the player zapped.
The "run" chat command is for testing the function printScore
The first say block signals that the program is actually running. The last say block indicates when it is complete. Why are these needed? Sometimes when "run" is typed into the command line, the program does not start. This may be because start button, the start button, was not pressed. Other times are more mysterious, but I have found that when repeated attempts to start a program fail, restarting Minecraft and MakeCode solves the problem once again proving the old adage "When in doubt, reboot."
In the chat command "run," the original player world position is saved in the variable "center." This allows the player to move while the program is running. This is desirable because the view of the what's happening in Minecraft is often better if the player is allowed to move to a different vantage point rather than being required to stay in one place because all positions are relative to the player and change as the player moves.
The repeat loop in "run" calls the printScore function 5 times to test randomly selected values for score..
printScore Func
The function printScore performs as its name indicates. It first converts the number variable score to text, which is required by the print block. The say block outputs the score to the log window.
In the print block, by joining txtScore with trailing spaces, the digits of any longer number that had been previously printed to the same location are erased.
Pay particular attention to the manner in which position is specified by the at phrase. The position is not specified as relative to the current player world positon but, rather, as relative to the original player world position, which was saved in the variable "center." Notice that printScore coord is a world position, not relative. The print position is center X plus 40, center Y plus 5, center Z minus 5. The value of these coordinates were determined by trying various numbers to find a visually appealing positon.

Lesbian Poetry Retrospective Part II
As our first poetry retrospective revealed, it is challenging to compile a comprehensive list of great lesbian and bisexual poets — and the reason is a good one: There are a wealth of choices from all around the world, and from different moments in history.
Certainly there are plenty more that deserve to be featured here, but these next 10 poets continue to show the diversity and brilliance that exists within the category of "lesbian and bisexual poetry."
Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) (1886–1961)
Bisexual poet Hilda Doolittle, known as H.D., is celebrated for her avant-garde style, which distinguished her from the more sentimental nature of the late Victorian era, and for her contributions to the imagist movement.
Leaving her Pennsylvania roots, H.D. traveled to Europe to develop her voice and to start her literary career. She was engaged to fellow poet Ezra Pound at one point, though the relationship was complicated when she became involved with a woman named Frances Josepha Gregg.
Throughout her life, H.D. continued to have affairs with both men and women, though her long-term partner was Annie Winifred Ellerman. The consequences of her relationship with Ellerman were significant, and the women referred to each other as "cousins" to prevent suspicion.
H.D. explored her relationships with women more in her novels (published posthumously) than in her poetry. Nonetheless, her sexuality was a significant source of inspiration for all of her work.
The following poem was published in Hymen in 1921.
"At Baia"
I should have thought
in a dream you would have brought
some lovely, perilous thing,
orchids piled in a great sheath,
as who would say (in a dream),
"I send you this,
who left the blue veins
of your throat unkissed."
Why was it that your hands
(that never took mine),
your hands that I could see
drift over the orchid-heads
so carefully,
your hands, so fragile, sure to lift
so gently, the fragile flower-stuff–
ah, ah, how was it
You never sent (in a dream)
the very form, the very scent,
not heavy, not sensuous,
but perilous—perilous—
of orchids, piled in a great sheath,
and folded underneath on a bright scroll,
some word:
"Flower sent to flower;
for white hands, the lesser white,
less lovely of flower-leaf,"
"Lover to lover, no kiss,
no touch, but forever and ever this."

Lego could be considered as the best friend for most children and an amazing hobby for many adults. Lego Company also understood this point and would release Lego sets for both groups of Lego fans. For kids, Lego set would be relatively simple and for adult Lego enthusiasts, it would release complicated Lego sets.
Although most of these Lego sets would appear marvelous during the day time, during the night time, they would appear similar to a lifeless plastic model. For this reason, Lego enthusiasts would install LED light kit in their Lego set. Addition of light kit in the Lego set would blow a new life into the model. It would allow the user to enjoy the night view of their Lego set.
What do you mean by Lego lights?
For decorating the Lego set, several Lego enthusiasts would install the light in their Lego set. These lighting set are custom built and would differ from one Lego model to another. These lighting kits are specially designed to be compatible with the specific Lego model. For example, lightings from the star-wars set light kit would never match with the Lego set of Architecture Series model.
These lighting kits would mainly contain LED lights, which would be small in size, but powerful enough to illuminate the whole Lego structure. Its small size allows the user to place them underneath the Lego bricks. Wires included in the set are thin enough so that they could be placed between the Lego bricks. This means that the wires and lights would remain hidden behind the Lego bricks and would not impact the outer appearance of the set.
What are the features of Lego lighting kits?
Installing a light kit for Lego set would not only make the set appear beautiful but it would bring out the realistic features of the set. These lights could effectively add dynamics and realism into the Lego set. Here are some of the features that every lighting kit would have in them.
The installation process of the lighting kit is extremely easy and user-friendly. The user would just have to follow the instruction manual completing the installation of the lighting kit. The provided instruction manual would also have step by step guide for customizing lighting kits for the models.
Most of the LED light kit allows the user to link up several kinds of lighting kits through a single power supply. This feature would be useful for those people who like to display several Lego at the same time. The lighting kit would make the collection of the several look marvelous.
For activating the kit the user would not require any kind of extra knowledge. The user would just have to plug into the power source to activate the lighting kit. The kit would also include battery packs, expansion boards, connecting cables, and USB power cables.
Therefore, we could conclude that adding lighting kit would increase the beauty of your Lego kit. Therefore, next time if you are buying any Lego set make sure to buy its lighting kit to enjoy its night view.

"golden thread moss"–family Ditrichaceae
How to recognize golden thread moss: Ditrichum pallidum is a densely tufted cushion moss with 3-5 mm lanceolate leaves, that are narrowly ovate at their base. These leaves have a long excurrent costa that forms a subula. There are no differentiated alar cells from the rectangular cells found in the leaf. The plants have male and female organs on the same plant so capsules are common; the sprorophytes are strikingly tall with bright yellow seta, and the sporangia (capsules) are narrowly cylindrical. The spores are 16-29 microns and densely papillose. The peristome teeth are often divided to their base; Dicranella peristome teeth are divided only halfway down.
Where to find golden thread moss: Ditrichum pallidum grows on the ground in dry wooded areas. It is fairly common across Ohio.

What Does Duck and Weave Mean?
Duck and Weave Meaning
Definition: To move from side to side, bobbing up and down.
People often move this way when trying to navigate through a large crowd. This expression describes a type of motion.
Origin of Duck and Weave
The verb duck predates the animal duck, although the two are related. One meaning of duck means to dive. The animal is named for the diving motion it makes through the water, and how it bobs its head in and out of the water.
Another meaning of duck is avoid a blow by moving down quickly. This meaning of duck appears in the literal meaning of the expression duck and weave, which describes a motion common in boxing.
In the sport of boxing, the athletes will move their head up and down, and move their bodies from side to side, trying to avoid the other boxer's punches.
Nowadays, people still use this expression for boxing, but also for anything with a similar motion.
Examples of Duck and Weave
duck and weave boxing duck and weave Here is an example of a teacher using the expression in a math class.
Teacher: Okay, class is finished. Don't forget to turn in your homework. Hey, you, stop ducking and weaving through your classmates. I see you trying to escape through the crowd without giving me your homework.
Student: I'm sorry, but I forgot to do it. I thought you might not notice if I escaped the classroom before you saw me leave.
Teacher: Well, next time don't move in such an obvious way. Uh, I mean, next time just finish your homework.
what does ducked mean In this example, two friends are coming back home from a party.
Monica: I think I'm done going to parties that are at nightclubs.
Janice: How come? Didn't you have fun?
Monica: Yes, I enjoyed the music and seeing my friends, but the dance floor was too crowded. There was no room to move freely to dance. I felt like I was just ducking and weaving through the crowd all night.
More Examples
This excerpt is from an article that questions the safety of dog parks. It describes the movement of a family pet.
 - Kyle Hurt and his 6-year-old son, Mason, lounged on a bench watching their energetic boxer, Jersey, duck and weave around a feisty Australian shepherd in the Hound Hill dog park near Quebec and Lincoln streets. –Denver Post
The second excerpt shows a food critic describing his walk through a restaurant.
 - My guest and I duck and weave through the crowd as we follow the hostess to our table. The dining room is just as loud. It's an echo chamber of shouted conversation and the uniquely screechy mating calls of the tequila-infused. –OC Register
The phrase duck and weave comes from the sport of boxing and describes the motion the boxer makes to avoid blows.
People now use it to describe the same type of motion when used in other activities, such as walking through a crowd.

What can a spy satellite see?
Optical image reconnaissance satellites use a charge coupled device (CCD) to gather images that make up a digital photograph for transmission back to Earth from an altitude of about 200 miles.
They have an imaging resolution of 5-6 inches, which means they can see something 5 inches or larger on the ground.
How many spy satellites are there?
No one knows how many spy satellites there are in orbit. Here's what we do know. Humanity has filled space with a staggering number of satellites in the 60-odd years since Sputnik, with the United States Space Surveillance Network currently tracking more than 8,000 man-made orbiting objects.7 Jan 2016
What was the first spy satellite?
DISCOVERER/CORONA: FIRST U.S. RECONNAISSANCE SATELLITE
It was to launch into orbit a camera-carrying spacecraft that would take photographs of the Soviet Union and return the film to Earth. The secret spy satellite was dubbed Corona by the CIA.

Can satellites see through walls?
NOAA satellites have the capability to provide astounding views of the Earth. But many people want to know if these satellites can see their house, or even through their roofs and walls to the people inside. Satellites differ greatly in the level of detail they can "see".27 Nov 2017
Can you see satellite from Earth?
Yes, we can see satellites in particular orbits as they pass overhead at night. Viewing is best away from city lights and in cloud-free skies. Eventually the satellite will fly into the Earth's shadow and then suddenly disappear from view. The International Space Station (ISS) can be very bright.2 Jul 2013
What are the 3 types of satellites?
Types of Satellites and Applications
- Communications Satellite.
- Remote Sensing Satellite.

What is the most expensive satellite?
Scientists at the Space Applications Centre in Ahmedabad are also anxious as they go about fabricating unique components for the massive satellite. Together, Indian and American scientists are making what is possibly the world's most expensive earth imaging satellite that will cost the countries over USD 1.5 billion.25 Jun 2017
How much does a spy satellite cost?
A typical weather satellite carries a price tag of $290 million; a spy satellite might cost an additional $100 million [source: GlobalCom]. Then there's the expense of maintaining and repairing satellites.
What is the most powerful satellite?
"The heaviest, largest and most powerful satellite ever built by India is successfully launched by Ariane-5 today," ISRO Chairman K Sivan said moments after the launch. GSAT-11, Sivan said, is going to India's "richest space asset".5 Dec 2018
What are spy satellites used for?
To monitor Earth's climate and weather, weather satellites are used. Spy -or Espionage- satellites are used for intelligence purposes. They are also known as reconnaissance or recon satellites. Communications satellites are helpful in relaying radio signals to various parts of the world.
Who launched the first spy satellite?
The first Corona launch containing a camera was carried out in June 1959 with the cover name Discoverer 4. This was a 750 kilogram satellite launched by a Thor-Agena rocket. The return capsule of the Discoverer 13 mission, which launched August 10, 1960, was successfully recovered the next day.


text: Abstract. We study the design of protocols for set-operation verification, namely the problem of cryptographically checking the correctness of outsourced set operations performed by an untrusted server over a dynamic collection of sets that are owned (and updated) by a trusted source. We present new authenticated data structures that allow any entity to publicly verify a proof attesting the correctness of primitive set operations such as intersection, union, subset and set difference. Based on a novel extension of the security properties of bilinear-map accumulators as well as on a primitive called accumulation tree, our protocols achieve optimal verification and proof complexity (i.e., only proportional to the size of the query parameters and the answer), as well as optimal update complexity (i.e., constant), while incurring no extra asymptotic space overhead. The proof construction is also efficient, adding a logarithmic overhead to the computation of the answer of a set-operation query. In contrast, existing schemes entail high communication and verification costs or high storage costs. Applications of interest include efficient verification of keyword search and database queries. The security of our protocols is based on the bilinear q-strong Diffie-Hellman assumption.

Does Google Drive Retain Video Quality?
If you are someone who works with videos, you may have wondered whether Google Drive retains the quality of your videos when you upload them. After all, video files can be quite large, and it would be a shame if their quality were to be compromised in the process. In this article, we will explore this question in detail.
What is Google Drive?
Google Drive is a cloud storage service that allows users to store and share files online. It was launched in 2012 as a replacement for Google Docs and has since become one of the most popular cloud storage services available.
How does Google Drive handle video files?
When you upload a video file to Google Drive, it is stored in its original format. This means that the quality of the video file is not compromised during the upload process. However, it's important to note that the resolution and bitrate of your video may affect how quickly it can be uploaded and downloaded from Google Drive.
Resolution
The resolution of a video refers to the number of pixels that make up its width and height. The higher the resolution, the more pixels there are, resulting in a clearer and more detailed image. However, higher resolutions also mean larger file sizes.
Google Drive supports various resolutions for video files, including 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p (HD), 1080p (Full HD), and 2160p (4K). To ensure that your video maintains its quality on Google Drive, it's recommended that you upload it in its original resolution.
Bitrate
The bitrate of a video refers to the amount of data used per second to represent each frame of the video. Higher bitrates result in better quality videos but also mean larger file sizes.
Google Drive supports various bitrates for video files but recommends an average bitrate of 8 Mbps for 1080p videos and 35-45 Mbps for 4K videos. However, you can upload videos with higher bitrates if you prefer.
How to upload videos to Google Drive?
To upload a video to Google Drive, follow these steps:
 - Log in to your Google account
 - Click on the "New" button and select "File upload"
 - Select the video file you want to upload
 - Wait for the file to finish uploading
Conclusion
Google Drive does retain the quality of your video files during the upload process. However, it's important to consider the resolution and bitrate of your video before uploading it to ensure that it maintains its quality. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your videos look great on Google Drive.


Tree-Like Distance Colouring for Planar Graphs of Sufficient Girth
 - Ross J. Kang
 - Willem van Loon
Abstract
Given a multigraph $G$ and a positive integer $t$, the distance-$t$ chromatic index of $G$ is the least number of colours needed for a colouring of the edges so that every pair of distinct edges connected by a path of fewer than $t$ edges must receive different colours. Let $\pi'_t(d)$ and $\tau'_t(d)$ be the largest values of this parameter over the class of planar multigraphs and of (simple) trees, respectively, of maximum degree $d$. We have that $\pi'_t(d)$ is at most and at least a non-trivial constant multiple larger than $\tau'_t(d)$. (We conjecture $\limsup_{d\to\infty}\pi'_2(d)/\tau'_2(d) =9/4$ in particular.) We prove for odd $t$ the existence of a quantity $g$ depending only on $t$ such that the distance-$t$ chromatic index of any planar multigraph of maximum degree $d$ and girth at least $g$ is at most $\tau'_t(d)$ if $d$ is sufficiently large. Such a quantity does not exist for even $t$. We also show a related, similar phenomenon for distance vertex-colouring.
