Finding SQL Server Object Dependencies with DMVs
By: | Read Comments (6) | Related Tips: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | More > Comparison Data and Objects
Problem
In a previous tip we have shared scripts that could be useful for finding object dependencies during an application development or databases upgrades. Further scripts testing showed that not all of the dependencies were displayed in some scenarios. What did we miss? What should you know about the sys.sql_expression_dependencies DMV (Dynamic Management View)?
Solution
In this tip we will provide you updated scripts to find the dependencies. We will also demonstrate a well known best practice that should be followed to avoid missing dependencies.
Note, that by saying "missing dependencies" we mean that their object IDs are not showing up in the sys.sql_expression_dependencies DMV.
Missing Object ID in sys.sql_expression_dependencies DMV
To demonstrate the missing dependencies in the sys.sql_expression_dependencies DMV let's run a setup script below first:
-- Demo Setup
USE [_DemoDB]
GO
CREATE PROC dbo.p1 AS SELECT 1 AS Col1;
GO
CREATE PROC dbo.p2 AS EXEC dbo.p1;
GO
CREATE PROC dbo.p3 AS EXEC p1; -- note that schema name is missing for p1
GO
CREATE VIEW dbo.v1 AS SELECT 1 AS Col1;
GO
CREATE VIEW dbo.v2 AS SELECT * FROM dbo.v1;
GO
CREATE VIEW dbo.v3 AS SELECT * FROM v1; -- note that schema name is missing for p1
GO
Note that in the p3 stored procedure and v3 view we have not specified a schema for the referenced objects (p1 and v1).
Now we will run the script that was provided in the previous tip to find the dependencies:
USE [_DemoDB]
GO
WITH DepTree (referenced_id, referenced_name, referencing_id, referencing_name, NestLevel)
 AS
(
 SELECT o.[object_id] AS referenced_id ,
 o.name AS referenced_name,
 o.[object_id] AS referencing_id,
 o.name AS referencing_name,
 0 AS NestLevel
 FROM sys.objects o
 WHERE o.type IN ('P', 'V') AND o.is_ms_shipped = 0 -- you may need to add more filters if you exceed MAXRECURSION limit

 UNION ALL

 SELECT d1.referenced_id,
 OBJECT_NAME( d1.referenced_id) ,
 d1.referencing_id,
 OBJECT_NAME( d1.referencing_id) ,
 NestLevel + 1
 FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies d1
 JOIN DepTree r ON d1.referenced_id = r.referencing_id
)
SELECT DISTINCT referenced_id, referenced_name, referencing_id, referencing_name, MAX(NestLevel) NestLevel
 FROM DepTree
 GROUP BY referenced_id, referenced_name, referencing_id, referencing_name
 HAVING MAX(NestLevel) > 0
ORDER BY referencing_id
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 1000); -- you may need to increase MAXRECURSION limit up to 32,767 if you have too high nest levels or too many objects
The results are below:
Query results - missing row
Wait a minute... where is the p3 stored procedure that we created with the setup script?
Check the content of the sys.sql_expression_dependencies DMV:
USE [_DemoDB]
GO
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(referencing_id) AS referencing_entity_name,
 referencing_id,
 referenced_schema_name,
 referenced_entity_name,
 referenced_id,
 is_caller_dependent
FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies;
GO
The result has NULL for the p3 referenced_id:
Query results - sys.sql_expression_dependencies DMV
You would think that joining by object_id is the best way when you write the scripts, but not in this case. That's one of the reasons why this record was missed in the initial dependencies check query.
Note, that referenced_schema_name column has NULLs for both - p3 and v3 (remember the missing schema in the procedure/view body?).
Why is this happening?
As per Microsoft's documentation of the sys.sql_expression_dependencies DMV:
 - referenced_id - "...The schema of the referenced entity depends on the schema of the caller and is resolved at run time. In this case, is_caller_dependent is set to 1."
 - is_caller_dependent - "Indicates that schema binding for the referenced entity occurs at runtime; therefore, resolution of the entity ID depends on the schema of the caller. This occurs when the referenced entity is a stored procedure, extended stored procedure, or a non-schema-bound user-defined function called in an EXECUTE statement. 1 = The referenced entity is caller dependent and is resolved at runtime. In this case, referenced_id is NULL. 0 = The referenced entity ID is not caller dependent. Always 0 for schema-bound references and for cross-database and cross-server references that explicitly specify a schema name. For example, a reference to an entity in the format EXEC MyDatabase.MySchema.MyProc is not caller dependent. However, a reference in the format EXEC MyDatabase..MyProc is caller dependent."
To apply schema binding that happens at runtime we need to add a default user's schema to our queries to find dependencies:
USE [_DemoDB]
GO
SELECT
 OBJECT_NAME(d1.referencing_id) AS referencing_entity_name,
 d1.referencing_id,
 d1.referenced_schema_name,
 d1.referenced_entity_name,
 d1.referenced_id,
 OBJECT_ID(ISNULL(d1.referenced_schema_name, dp.default_schema_name) + '.' + d1.referenced_entity_name) AS referenced_id_new,
 d1.is_caller_dependent
FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies d1
 CROSS JOIN sys.database_principals dp
WHERE dp.[name] = USER_NAME();
GO
Now we see the dependent object's ID in the referenced_id_new column:
Query results - sys.sql_expression_dependencies with new column
We can now add a user's schema to our dependencies check query and review the results:
-- updated dependencies check query. Use it later for our next tests below
USE [_DemoDB]
GO
WITH DepTree
 AS
(
 SELECT o.[object_id] AS referenced_id ,
 SCHEMA_NAME(o.schema_id) referenced_schema_name,
 o.name AS referenced_name,
 o.[object_id] AS referencing_id,
 o.name AS referencing_name,
 0 AS NestLevel
 FROM sys.objects o
 WHERE o.type IN ('P', 'V') AND o.is_ms_shipped = 0 -- you may need to add more filters if you exceed MAXRECURSION limit

 UNION ALL

 SELECT ISNULL(d1.referenced_id, OBJECT_ID(ISNULL(d1.referenced_schema_name, dp.default_schema_name) + '.' + d1.referenced_entity_name)) referenced_id,
 ISNULL(d1.referenced_schema_name, dp.default_schema_name) AS referenced_schema_name,
 d1.referenced_entity_name AS referenced_name,
 d1.referencing_id,
 OBJECT_NAME( d1.referencing_id) referencing_name,
 NestLevel + 1
 FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies d1 CROSS JOIN
 sys.database_principals dp JOIN
 DepTree r ON r.referencing_id = ISNULL(d1.referenced_id, OBJECT_ID(ISNULL(d1.referenced_schema_name, default_schema_name) + '.' + d1.referenced_entity_name))
 WHERE dp.[name] = USER_NAME()
)
SELECT DISTINCT referenced_id,
 referenced_name,
 referencing_id,
 referencing_name,
 MAX(NestLevel) NestLevel
 FROM DepTree
 GROUP BY referenced_id, referenced_name, referencing_id, referencing_name
 HAVING MAX(NestLevel) > 0
ORDER BY referencing_id
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 1000); -- you may need to increase MAXRECURSION limit up to 32,767 if you have too high nest levels or too many objects
GO
The result is now returning four records as expected:
Query results - updated dependencies query
Note, that this works for the objects that are in the same schema that is the user's default schema. If there are objects with the same name in different schemas the results

Medical illustrations for Vascutek's fully customised AAA stent graft, Fenestrated Anaconda™
- Medical Illustration
- Illustration from CT data
Vascutek Ltd, Fenestrated Anaconda™ Custom Device Team
Lecturers at the University of Dundee Medical School were hosting a teaching session on identifying referred otalgia (ear pain that originates outside of the ear) within a patient. In order for students to do this, they must first understand the anatomy associate with the ear, head and neck before trying to figure out the source of where the pain is coming from. This was where I came in to create the following illustrations of the cross section of the head.
The illustrations were created in high resolutions so that it gives greater versatility in zooming closer to the the illustration to highlight details of the device.
CREATED FROM CT SCANS
The illustrations were created based of patient CT data, adding more accuracy to the visualizations.

Validation of an algorithm to determine the primary care treatability of emergency department visits

Abstract
Objectives: We propose a new claims-computable measure of the primary care treatability of emergency department (ED) visits and validate it using a nationally representative sample of Medicare data. Study design and setting: This is a validation study using 2011-2012 Medicare claims data for a nationally representative 5% sample of fee-for-service beneficiaries to compare the new measure's performance to the Ballard variant of the Billings algorithm in predicting hospitalisation and death following an ED visit. Outcomes: Hospitalisation within 1 day or 1 week of an ED visit; death within 1 week or 1 month of an ED visit. Results: The Minnesota algorithm is a strong predictor of hospitalisations and deaths, with performance similar to or better than the most commonly used existing algorithm to assess the severity of ED visits. The Billings/Ballard algorithm is a better predictor of death within 1 week of an ED visit; this finding is entirely driven by a small number of ED visits where patients appear to have been dead on arrival. Conclusions: The procedure-based approach of the Minnesota algorithm allows researchers to use the clinical judgement of the ED physician, who saw the patient to determine the likely severity of each visit. The Minnesota algorithm may thus provide a useful tool for investigating ED use in Medicare beneficiaries.

Rugby Drill Demonstration
Tell the players the following.......
 1. Lay flat on the ground.
 2. In a moment but not yet, I want you to get to your feet, but you cannot use your knees.
 3. You will get up like a surfer, pushing up with your hands and jumping to your feet.
 4. It's a race, lets see who can get up first?
 5. On your call the place get to their feet and then back down again.
 6. When they have got the idea, have some fun with it e.g. last one up sings two lines from their favorite song. But whatever you do has to be fun and not humiliating.
Coaching points
 - Speed to your feet is vital.
 - Knees should not be used when getting to your feet.
 - Players push up quickly, using strength to push their entire body into the air.
 - Feet hitting the ground should be wide, knees must be bent.
 - Upright body position should be low, with hands down and ready to compete for the ball.

I came up with a novel way to measure the distance between two non-numeric items. Let me explain.
Suppose you have two numeric items like (5.0, 2.0, 3.0) and (4.0, 0.0, 3.0). You can easily calculate a distance between the items. For example, the Euclidean distance is sqrt((5-4)^2 + (2-0)^2 + (3-3)^2) = sqrt(5) = 2.24.
But if the items are non-numeric, calculating a meaningful distance is very hard. Suppose v1 = (red, short, heavy) and v2 = (blue, medium, heavy). You could say that the two items differ in two spots so their distance is 2.0. But this doesn't take into account that there could be a dozens colors (red, blue, green,... ) and only three lengths (short, medium, long). A full discussion of the difficulties of measuring distance between non-numeric items would takes pages. Just trust me, it's an extremely difficult problem.
My novel idea uses what's called category utility (CU). CU is a metric I ran across in an obscure research paper several years ago. CU measures the goodness of a clustering of a dataset of non-numeric data. CU works by computing a measure of theoretic information gain. Larger CU values mean more information gain due to the clustering.
So my idea is this. If you want to measure the distance between item v1 and v2 that belong to a non-numeric dataset, calculate a CU1 for a clustering that has item v1 in a cluster by itself (and all the other items in a second cluster). Then calculate CU2 for a clustering that has item v2 in a cluster by itself (and all the other items in a second cluster). The difference in CU values is a measure of the difference in information gain, and can be used as a distance.
I coded up a demo, and somewhat to my surprise, the idea seems to work very well. This could be an important result and I wish I had time to explore it.

Module Version: 2.0603 Source Latest Release: Moose-2.1603
NAME ^
Moose::Util - Utilities for working with Moose classes
VERSION ^
version 2.0603
SYNOPSIS ^
 use Moose::Util qw/find_meta does_role search_class_by_role/;
 my $meta = find_meta($object) || die "No metaclass found";
 if (does_role($object, $role)) {
 print "The object can do $role!\n";
 }
 my $class = search_class_by_role($object, 'FooRole');
 print "Nearest class with 'FooRole' is $class\n";
DESCRIPTION ^
This module provides a set of utility functions. Many of these functions are intended for use in Moose itself or MooseX modules, but some of them may be useful for use in your own code.
EXPORTED FUNCTIONS ^
find_meta($class_or_obj)
This method takes a class name or object and attempts to find a metaclass for the class, if one exists. It will not create one if it does not yet exist.
does_role($class_or_obj, $role_or_obj)
Returns true if $class_or_obj does the given $role_or_obj. The role can be provided as a name or a Moose::Meta::Role object.
The class must already have a metaclass for this to work. If it doesn't, this function simply returns false.
search_class_by_role($class_or_obj, $role_or_obj)
Returns the first class in the class's precedence list that does $role_or_obj, if any. The role can be either a name or a Moose::Meta::Role object.
The class must already have a metaclass for this to work.
apply_all_roles($applicant, @roles)
This function applies one or more roles to the given $applicant The applicant can be a role name, class name, or object.
The $applicant must already have a metaclass object.
The list of @roles should a list of names or Moose::Meta::Role objects, each of which can be followed by an optional hash reference of options (-excludes and -alias).
ensure_all_roles($applicant, @roles)
This function is similar to apply_all_roles, but only applies roles that $applicant does not already consume.
with_traits($class_name, @role_names)
This function creates a new class from $class_name with each of @role_names applied. It returns the name of the new class.
get_all_attribute_values($meta, $instance)
Returns a hash reference containing all of the $instance's attributes. The keys are attribute names.
get_all_init_args($meta, $instance)
Returns a hash reference containing all of the init_arg values for the instance's attributes. The values are the associated attribute values. If an attribute does not have a defined init_arg, it is skipped.
This could be useful in cloning an object.
resolve_metaclass_alias($category, $name, %options)
resolve_metatrait_alias($category, $name, %options)
Resolves a short name to a full class name. Short names are often used when specifying the metaclass or traits option for an attribute:
 has foo => (
 metaclass => "Bar",
 );
The name resolution mechanism is covered in "Metaclass and Trait Name Resolution" in Moose.
meta_class_alias($to[, $from])
meta_attribute_alias($to[, $from])
Create an alias from the class $from (or the current package, if $from is unspecified), so that "Metaclass and Trait Name Resolution" in Moose works properly.
english_list(@items)
Given a list of scalars, turns them into a proper list in English ("one and two", "one, two, three, and four"). This is used to help us make nicer error messages.
TODO ^
Here is a list of possible functions to write

Welcome to another IDS 11.10 (Cheetah) new feature close-up. This time we'll take a look at the possibility of creating multiple triggers on the same table and same event.
Up to IDS 11 you could have only one INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/SELECT trigger for each table. That means that if you wanted to do more in one of the events for which you already had a trigger you would have to change the existing trigger definition.
Now, with Cheetah, you can simply create another trigger. When the event happens both triggers will be fired and their actions will be done. It's a simple concept, but you should be aware of one important aspect: The sequence of execution of the triggered actions.
There is no guarantee to which trigger will execute first, but all the BEFORE actions will be done before all FOR EACH ROW actions, and finally the AFTER actions will be executed. So, the events have a pre-defined order to be executed, but you can't tell which trigger's event will be fired first. I've set up a test case that tries to show this issues. Let's take a look:
1 drop procedure trigger_change;
2 drop table test;
3 drop table action_log;
4 drop procedure trigger_proc;
5 CREATE TABLE test
7 col1 INTEGER,
8 col2 CHAR(20)
9 ) LOCK MODE ROW;
11 CREATE TABLE action_log
13 trig_name CHAR(20),
14 trig_event CHAR(20),
15 trig_action CHAR(20),
16 trig_seq SERIAL
17 ) LOCK MODE ROW;
19 CREATE PROCEDURE trigger_change () REFERENCING OLD AS old NEW AS new FOR test
20 LET new.col1 = 0;
21 END PROCEDURE;
22 CREATE PROCEDURE trigger_proc (t_name CHAR(20), t_action CHAR(20))
23 DEFINE t_event CHAR(20);
24 LET t_event = NULL;
25 IF t_action = 'FOR EACH ROW'
29 WHEN DELETING THEN "DELETING"
30 WHEN UPDATING THEN "UPDATING"
31 WHEN INSERTING THEN "INSERTING"
32 WHEN SELECTING THEN "SELECTING"
34 INTO t_event
35 FROM sysmaster:sysdual;
36 END IF
37 INSERT INTO action_log VALUES (t_name, t_event, t_action, 0);
38 END PROCEDURE;
40 CREATE TRIGGER ti_1_test INSERT ON test
43 EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_proc('ti_1_test','BEFORE')
45 FOR EACH ROW
47 EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_proc('ti_1_test','FOR EACH ROW'),
48 EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_change() WITH TRIGGER REFERENCES
52 EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_proc('ti_1_test','AFTER')
55 CREATE TRIGGER ti_2_test INSERT ON test
58 EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_proc('ti_2_test','BEFORE')
60 FOR EACH ROW
62 EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_proc('ti_2_test','FOR EACH ROW')
66 EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_proc('ti_2_test','AFTER')
69 INSERT INTO TEST VALUES(1,"one...");
70 SELECT * FROM test;
71 SELECT * FROM action_log;
The execution result is:
_EMAIL_:informix-> dbaccess stores_demo multiple_triggers.sql
Your evaluation license will expire on 2007-11-24 00:00:00
1 row(s) inserted.
1 row(s) retrieved.
trig_name trig_event trig_action trig_seq
ti_1_test BEFORE 1
ti_2_test BEFORE 2
ti_1_test INSERTING FOR EACH ROW 3
ti_2_test INSERTING FOR EACH ROW 4
ti_1_test AFTER 5
ti_2_test AFTER 6
6 row(s) retrieved.
So, let's make a line by line examination of the script. Hopefully, at the end, and after looking at the results, you'll get a clear picture of what's new in this area.
Lines 1 to 18 just create two tables: "test" table will be used as the triggers object and "action_log" will save the name of the trigger (in a minute...), the event that was being executed (BEFORE, FOR EACH ROW, AFTER), the action (INSERT,DELETE...) and the sequence by which they were called.
Lines 19 to 21 create what is called a triggered UDR. This UDR must be created in SPL, but can call other UDRs in another languages (C, JAVA...). This UDR must contain the REFERENCING and FOR clauses to be considered a triggered UDR. The referencing clause is similar to the same clause in triggers. The FOR clause defines which table's triggers can call this UDR in the FOR EACH ROW clause. I've included this to show that you can change the values that the user process used as VALUES in an INSERT statement for example. So, actually you can replace the values given by the client process.
The next lines (22-38) contain another procedure that will be called by the triggers and receives the trigger name and action. This procedure contains two new things:
- It uses the new operators "DELETING", "INSERTING", "UPDATING" and "SELECTING". These new operators can be used in the context of a FOR EACH ROW action and return true if the trigger event is respectively DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE and SELECT
- It also uses a new IDS 11.10 feature, the sysmaster:sysdual table. This is an Oracle ©right; compatibility feature. You could create a "dual" table in any Informix version, so this isn't really a big feature...
Lines 40-68 include the two trigger definitions. They are both INSERT triggers and they call the second procedure in each of it's actions. The first one also calls the first procedure (trig_change) to show that the insert value can be changed.
Line 69 just does an INSERT on the test table with the values "1" and "One". This will fire both triggers.
Lines 70 shows the content of table test, after the previous INSERT, and line 71 shows the contents of the action_log table.
So, what do we see in the results?:
- The value inserted in the test table was actually "0" and not "1"
- The sequence column of the action_log table shows that the BEFORE actions of both triggers were executed first, then the FOR EACH ROW and last the both AFTER clauses.
- First, all the BEFORE actions of all the triggers for the event
- Then all the FOR EACH ROW actions of all the triggers for the event
- In the end, all the AFTER actions of all the triggers for the event
Why would we want to use this feature? Well, for start, it can be handy in application conversions from other RDBMS where this is available and the existing application already uses it. Besides this, DBAs can use this to implement some triggered behavior in "blackbox applications". By this I mean applications where you don't have any influence on the developing phase. You can create your own triggers without interfering with existing ones. This can be used for auditing purposes or for some data extraction, based on changes made on the data fields.
So, in conclusion, the usefulness of this feature will depend largely on your environment requirements, but in some scenarios this can be a very valuable tool.
I think that if you look at the example above you'll see the most important aspects of this feature. So, take your time, and if any doubts remain don't hesitate to check the URL references to the manual and other sources. You can also leave a comment of course.

Bonaventura, Luigi and Caserta, Maurizio (2004): An adaptive evolutionary behaviour for the demand-led growth adjustment.
Download (294kB) | Preview
Investment activity produces effects on two different economic variables. On the one hand, it adds to the existing productive capacity, on the other, it represents a component of demand. What is required for demand may not be required for accumulation, and viceversa. As a consequence different adjustment mechanisms have been put forward in the economic literature to make the two aspects of investment compatible to each other. In all cases, a distinction has been made between the fundamentally macroeconomic nature of the demand aspect, and the fundamentally microeconomic nature of the capacity-augmenting aspect. This paper tries to discuss the foundations of a non-perverse adjustment mechanism based on the internalisation of the demand aspect of investment. The adjustment mechanism discussed earlier is based on investment reacting to positive or negative excess aggregate demand. Once it is shown that a collectively efficient equilibrium can be reached even on an entirely arbitrary basis, one may set out to show that a behaviour which gets selected in a small population can be easily extended to a large one.

The Tucson shovel-nosed snake (Chionactis occipitalis klauberi) a beautiful snake native to Arizona that is noted for its black and red stripes should
The Tucson shovel-nosed snake (Chionactis occipitalis klauberi) a beautiful snake native to Arizona that is noted for its black and red stripes should be listed as an endangered species because the reptile's prime habitat is threatened by urban sprawl, according to a petition the Center for Biological Diversity sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
"The lovely Tucson shovel-nosed snake needed protection in 2004 when we first filed a petition, and it still needs it today," Noah Greenwald, endangered species director with the Center said in a statement released to the media. "Federal safeguards for this snake will mean preserving more of the natural desert we all love."
The snake's range is limited to areas in Pima, Pinal and Maricopa counties, which is also known as the "Sun Corridor megapolitan" due primary to the rapid pace of development. The Center says that the reptile only can be found on flat, valley bottoms, which is the same area that is considered prime development space.
The Center first petitioned the USFWS in 2004 to protect the snake. The service found in 2010 that the snake warranted protections but then put the reptile on the candidate list instead. In 2014, the USFWS reversed its position and determined that it didn't warrant any protections at all.
A study commissioned by the Center found that the snake, which glides through sandy soil as if it is swimming effortlessly, has lost 39 percent of its habitat, and the remaining habitat is vulnerable to development.
Tucson Shovel-nosed Snake Information
The Tucson shovel-nosed snake grows to less than 2-feet in length and has a shovel shaped nose and an inset lower jaw, which enables it to burrow through soil fairly effortlessly. The color of the snake, a pale yellow to cream colored body with black and red bands, mimics that of the venomous coral snake. It is often found in soft soils, sandy loams and sparse gravel. It feeds on scorpions.

I have a number of old 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles I'd like to sell. I'd like to make sure they are complete first. Is there a faster way to determine whether there are exactly 1000 jigsaw pieces than physically picking up and counting every single one of them?

Count by 5s. That's about the best you can do. Separate them into groups of the same size and count one group, and count how many groups you have. – Craig Oct 13 '11 at 13:37
I'd go by 10s instead. Form a cube of pieces. Unless they're bent you can easily check that the piles are the same height, so you don't need to worry about losing count. – Peter Taylor Oct 13 '11 at 14:03
You only have to count the pieces of the first puzzle. For the others a one-one match would do. – Christian Blatter Oct 13 '11 at 14:52
The old $1000$-piece jigsaw puzzles in my home cannot be tested for completeness by mere counting. Alas, my children have on occasion mixed up pieces from different puzzles, and having $1000$ pieces in a box does not guarantee that the puzzle is complete. – Dilip Sarwate Oct 13 '11 at 16:39

I don't know of one. To know the number you should have (it may not be exactly 1000), you can assemble the border. Many puzzles are cut with a rectangular grid and you can multiply the number of rows by the number of columns. Unfortunately, I have also seen a number where the grid is perturbed in a small region of the center and the count is changed by 1 or 2.
With an accurate scale, if you have more than one puzzle in the same series, you could weigh the pieces. The thickness and outer dimensions will be nominally the same. Whether they are controlled within 0.1%, however, may be questionable.

1000-piece jigsaws don't even have exactly 1000 pieces? Ugh. Well I'm glad I found this out before I started counting. That may take figuring out if a puzzle is complete without actually assembling it from daunting to impossible. D: – Emaille Oct 13 '11 at 14:03
_USER_: No, I multiplied up some of the 500 piece ones that were cut rectangular years ago. It was always a little higher than 500. – Ross Millikan Oct 13 '11 at 14:16
If puzzles are cut on a rectangular grid, then, assuming that the ratio of the puzzle dimensions is $4:3$, one might expect a "$1000$-piece puzzle" to have $28$ rows, $36$ columns, and $36\times 28 = 1008$ pieces. – Dilip Sarwate Oct 13 '11 at 16:54
Note: While the thread may have long served it's purpose, I am proposing the following for archival purpose.
You can take a photo after scattering them on a white background and use any software that uses thermal imaging to count, or use infrared beam by having them slide in a narrow strip at an angle that will interfere with the light registering a 'tick'.

I once treid once piece on a digital scale, then weighing the lot, however I don't deem this to be a very accurate way of doing it.
share|cite|improve this answer
Why not take 50 random pieces, measure the weight of them, multiply by 20, and if the weight is inside interval [weight_of_50*20-smallest_piece,weight_of_50*20+smallest_piece] you're good. Is that a reasonable approximation? Of course, you need to have an accurate scale for this. – enedene Oct 13 '11 at 14:00
The only way you can guarantee the jigsaw is complete is to physically do the jigsaw.
Some jigsaws, particularly, Waddingtons & Tower Press jigsaws, have pieces with five connectors so even if you do the border and count the rest, you're not certain it's complete.
For example; some 500 pieced ones may have 502 pieces even the border is 20 x 26 pieces (520), some 750s have 750 pieces even though the border is 24 x 32 (768).
You could also have the other extreme where some pieces are in two bits some 1000 pieced. Some Waddingtons/Tower press ones have this setup with the border 38 x 26 (988).
Any jigsaws with whimsies will also be tricky in relation to 'just doing the border' pieces.
As I've said, earlier, best do the jigsaw, to be certain.
Good luck. :)

The answer is in the title of this website - Stack. Measure the thickness of one piece, then stack them up and measure the height, place them in a tube, preferably clear, of small enough diameter so the pieces won't fall down the side. A graduated cylinder would be perfect.

Try to stack them in a 10x10x10 cube

The Jacob's Ladder is an electrical device named after a biblical "ladder to Heaven", consisting of a pair of vertically oriented conductors that spread apart vertically. These conductors are charged with high voltage, which creates the repeatedly climbing arc we've all come to know and love from science fiction movies of yesteryear.
[LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER] was on a scavenger hunt for electronic junk, and came across a microwave in a skip that was begging to be hacked. After kicking around a few ideas, it was decided that the microwave would donate its high voltage transformer to create a Jacob's ladder. The transformer is first bolted down to a piece of wood, and creates some sparks on the bench when shorted. The output is then wired to a pair of copper pipes to create the classic effect.
Unfortunately, the device isn't self starting, requiring the electrodes to be temporarily short circuited to generate the initial arc. We suspect that increasing the voltage may help things somewhat, either with another transformer in series or with a voltage multiplier.
It goes without saying that high voltage projects do bring certain risks to life and limb that should not be overlooked. If you've still got a thirst for danger, check out this home built X-ray machine. Video after the break.

When light water reactor (LWR) is subject to a cold shutdown, it needs to be cooled with pure water or seawater to prevent the core melting. To precisely evaluate the cooling characteristics in the fuel assembly, a measurement method capable of installing to the fuel assembly structure and determining the temperature distribution with high temporal resolution, high spatial resolution, and in multidimension is required. Furthermore, it is more practical if applicable to a pressure range up to the rated pressure 16 MPa of a pressurized water reactor (PWR). In this study, we applied the principle of the wire-mesh sensor technology used in the void fraction measurement to the temperature measurement and developed a simulated fuel assembly (bundle) test loop with installing the temperature profile sensors. To investigate the measurement performance in the bundle test section, it was confirmed that a predetermined temperature calibration line with respect to time-average impedance was calculated and became a function of temperature. To evaluate the followability of measurement in a transient temperature change process, we fabricated a 16 × 16 wire-mesh sensor device and measured the hot-water jet-mixing process into the cold-water pool in real time and calculated the temperature profile from the temperature calibration line obtained in advance from each measurement point. In addition, the sensors applied to three-dimensional temperature distribution measurement of a complex flow field in the bundle structure. The axial and cross-sectional profiles of temperature were quantified in the forced flow field with nonboiling when the 5×5 bundle was heated by energization.

A Patriot plugin to support input switch devices.
This library is used to support input switch devices. Any Photon I/O pin may be used to provide on/off status.
Include this library in any Photon sketch that needs to support a Switch. Refer to the more complex examples in the main Patriot IoT examples directory.
This example creates a single switch device connected to pin D4. The internal pull-up resistor is used, so the switch needs only ground the pin to change its state. For experimenting, you can use a jumper wire to ground.
When the state of the input D4 pin changes, an event named "switch" will be published. Other device can define a behavior that uses this event.
You can use the console to monitor these events.

Boron Adsorption on California Soils1
- Sabine Goldberg and
- R. A. Glaubig2
Boron adsorption on 15 arid zone soil samples was investigated both as a function of equilibrium B concentration (0–100 g m−3) and as a function of solution pH (5.5–11.5). Boron adsorption as a function of equilibrium B concentration could be described by the Freundlich adsorption isotherm over the entire concentration range studied and by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm over a limited concentration range. Boron adsorption increased from pH 5.5 to 8.5, exhibited a peak in the pH range 8.5 to 10, and decreased from pH 10 to 11.5. The adsorption maximum was highly correlated with both specific surface area and clay content. It was assumed that B adsorbs by ligand exchange with hydroxyl groups at the edges of clay particles and Al and Fe oxide minerals. The constant capacitance model was able to describe B adsorption on the soil samples. While the fit was generally good, the chemical significance of one of the surface complexation constants is uncertain for a few soil samples. An average set of surface complexation constants could be used to predict B adsorption on most of the soil samples studied.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

The melting pressure of He-3 droplets, following phase separation of a mixture of 0.6% He-3 in He-4 confined in a silver sinter, has been studied in the temperature range 1-150 mK, below the phase-separation temperature T-ps. An elevation of the melting pressure relative to pure He-3 of up to 60 kPa was observed. Hysteresis between the freezing and melting temperatures was found, similar to that in pure He-3 in small pores.

American Astronomical Society - Sustainability Sustainability Tag Definition: Relates to the Sustainability Committee, a green AAS and energy conservation. en Traveling Virtually: How to Work Effectively with Less Travel Maintaining professional connections, running experiments, and disseminating results are key parts of the scientific process. Therefore, astronomers have long required and enjoyed frequent travel for attending meetings, observing, and giving seminars/colloquia. However, in the current era of shrinking budgets we are forced to consider how grant funding is best used, and part of the solution may be to find alternatives to air travel. It is an opportunity to assess whether all the travel we do is required. Improving technology now allows us to do remotely much of the work that previously required a physical trip. Reduced travel has the added benefits of reducing astronomy's large per-capita carbon footprint and doing our part to conserve energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are responsible for global warming. This article reviews some of the alternatives to travel and seeks to provide recommendations on how to work remotely effectively. Meetings Budget pressure and technology improvements are now driving a trend for more virtual meetings. NSF grant review panels are now done virtually, saving significant money and travel time. Committee members have had positive experiences with these reviews. The Gemini International Time Allocation Committee (ITAC) used to hold a two-day physical meeting requiring international or long-distance travel by most members. This is now done in roughly half a day with a virtual meeting that uses custom online interactive software. Many other examples exist and are only becoming more common. With the proper tools and organization virtual meetings can be very effective. Different solutions for effective remote meetings are appropriate for different environments. Hardware solutions such as Polycom systems can create "virtual conference rooms" that are appropriate for times when groups of people can be assembled into a few locations. These tend to be used by institutions with conference rooms that can afford the dedicated hardware. Polycom conferences work well for face-to-face discussions and non-interactive presentations (e.g., slides). However, too many connections make the images of the participants small and hard to see. The screen resolution is usually too low to view computer screens for interactive work or demonstrations. Collaborative work probably requires specialized software (e.g., the Gemini ITAC software), or web services such as Google Drive, Microsoft Office 365, or equivalents. WebEx is another commercial product that allows sharing of presentations in a virtual conference setting that one may consider. We have learned that it is used extensively for NASA meetings and by observatories like NRAO. Software solutions such as Skype, Google+ Hangout, and GoToMeeting are effective on most computers and mobile devices and seem to be better for smaller groups and interactive demonstrations. They are generally cheaper than Polycoms, but reliability and smoothness of communication may depend on the service selected and the number of connections required. Since these solutions run on normal computers, they are good for very distributed groups and individuals. They tend to have higher screen resolutions than Polycoms, allowing for a more personal experience and effective screen sharing. One might consider using Polycoms in addition to a screen-sharing service as an alternative. While camera resolutions and bandwidth continue to improve, virtual meetings will not replace the experience of physically meeting and interacting with colleagues. Detecting subtle visual clues that are important for good communication requires good bandwidth and resolution. If you are going to be doing frequent remote meetings with the same people then it is very useful to start with a physical meeting. The better you know the person on the other end of the fiber, the easier it is to videoconference with them. While a lot of meetings can now be attended virtually, sometimes physical meetings are important and appropriate. The point is to be selective about the meetings you attend in person. If you are organizing or planning to attend a meeting there are a few things that can be done to minimize the amount of travel needed and the carbon footprint of the event. First, avoid meetings that require as much or more travel time than the duration of the meeting, e.g., flying from the US to Europe for a two-day workshop. These are good opportunities for virtual meetings. Second, consider organizing short but related meetings together so that the attendees don't have to travel as often. This is an obvious time and money saver that is becoming more and more common. The AAS offers various services to encourage combining meetings, including splinter sessions and "meetings in a meeting" during AAS meetings. Recently the TMT Science Forum was organized back-to-back with its Science Working Group meeting. These are just two of many examples. Meeting organizers should consider having the meetings in central locations near major airports that minimize the travel distance for all participants. Consider holding meetings that are accessible with a single direct flight rather than two flights (take-offs and landings are especially fuel intensive). Finally, consider webcasting and/or allowing virtual attendance at the meetings for participants who are not able to travel. These and other recommendations were discussed in the Sustainability Committee's splinter meeting at AAS 220 in Anchorage in 2012. More information can be found on the Sustainable AAS page. Observing New modes of observing now allow for the collection of data without the need to travel long distances to observing runs that can be easily weathered out. Queue or service observing is a popular mode in which observatory staff executes the observations in the conditions for which they were requested. This mode is also advantageous for observing objects with timing constraints such as eclipses, occultations, and supernovae and GRB follow-up. All space observatories and many major ground-based observatories — including Gemini, VLT, ALMA, and the VLA — offer or are exclusively queue scheduled. Next-generation facilities such as the ELTs are also considering, and should be encouraged to implement, queue scheduling. Some astronomers feel that with queue observing they lose the ability to provide feedback to the observatory about their data, or lose that vital "personal connection" with the observatory. All queue-scheduled observatories provide some means for feedback and the processes have been improving over time. Gemini sends email daily to notify PIs of new data, with a link to download the files. PIs can then evaluate the data and send feedback or request changes to their contact scientists. For more immediate interaction, a new "eavesdropping" mode allows a remote PI to "look over the shoulder" of a queue observer via a Skype connection when the PI's observations come up in the queue. Data can be obtained in near real-time for on-the-fly evaluation. This mode is especially useful for complicated target acquisitions and when the target brightness, and therefore the exposure time, is not well known. Other observatories such as Keck, LBT, Apache Point (APO), SOAR, and GBT provide remote observing where the observer controls the telescope from an office in their institution. ALMA is planning to move operations to Santiago, making it remotely operated for staff and saving them travel. VNC connections and/or special remote observing software are used to control the telescope and instruments and view data as if you were on-site. The observer is still subject to the vagaries of the weather and the Internet but avoids the time and expense of a long trip and can immediately evaluate the data and make adjustments. With video conferencing it is helpful to know the people first; with remote and queue observing it is helpful to know the observatory first. Some observatories, like SOAR, APO, and GBT, require observers to make a site visit for training before they can observe remotely. Visiting a telescope with queue scheduling can teach you a lot about how its systems and instruments work so that you can get the most out of your telescope time. Classical, or visitor, observing is one way to visit, but not the only way. Gemini encourages both queue and classical PIs to visit for a week or two to learn the system, meet the staff, reduce data, and give a science talk. This is especially good for students. The visitors, and the observatory, get more out of the visit and the PIs go home feeling better connected to the facility and often become more effective queue observers. Get Involved The trends toward virtual meetings and remote/queue observing are being driven by a combination of budgetary and operations/flexibility considerations. These are also important steps toward making our profession more sustainable in the future, as the need to reduce the human carbon footprint becomes increasingly clear. In this, all of us have

Vinge is currently Denmark's largest development area, and Henning Larsen Architects + TREDJE NATUR (Third Nature) have together with MOE and RPA developed the new station and a huge central area that is to contain 183.000 m2 of new buildings (2 million squarefeet).The ambition is to create a vibrant urban center, with comparable density to that of central Copenhagen, while also offering green, sustainable and recreative elements that are integrated parts of the VingeCity DNA.
Vinge's identity follows the values and characteristics that already exist in the Danish countryside, located close to the Roskilde Fjord on the outskirts of Copenhagen. The hilly terrain and beautiful nature create a direct interaction with the infrastructure network that outlines of the city.
Running centrally through the station is The Green Heart, a landscape corridor that crosses Vinge from North to South. The train station becomes the center for the city, with the neighboring buildings offering a varied spatial hierarchy and intimacy around the urban disc. The buildings house a range of functions, including residential, commercial, public institutions, private companies and retailers. The Green Heart integrates the existing natural elements
The natural focal point of the master plan is the S-train station and the circular urban space (also known as the Landscape Bridge). Vinge's station is placed naturally, at the intersection of The Green Heart and the tracks. The station is the focal point of the city's dense and lively center, where users experience a mix of city and marshland on one side, with forest on the other.

If you want to use ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider on your website to manage users specially the password reset functionality, you will also need to create few attributes in the active directory schema for the "USER" object. You can check this MSDN article to know more about this, but again, it doesn't list how to create the needed attributes, but it tells you what are all the attributes needed if you are considering "Password Reset" functionality.
Firstly, ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider does not support retrieving the password, but you can reset the password by providing secret-question, and secret-answer. You may also need to create few more attributes in the active directory schema associated with this. Below are those attributes:
- Password Question - Unicode String
- Password Answer - Unicode String
- Failed Answer count - Integer
- Last time at which the user supplied an invalid answer - Large Integer/Interval
- Account locked out time - Large Integer/Interval
These are the 5 new attributes which you need to add in the active directory schema for the "USER" object. I will explain how to add new attributes and associate them to an existing object.
- You need to first install the schema snap-in by registering schmmgmt.dll (regsvr32 schmmgmt.dll)
- Now, open an MMC, and add "Active Directory Schema" snap-in
- Expand the Active Directory Schema, and right click on Attribute, and select "Create Attribute"
- Enter the common name, LDAP name, other fields for the attribute you are creating. For example, "PasswordQuestion" - this would be having its type as Unicode String. See the above list of attributes and its types appropriately. If Integer, enter minimum/maximum values too.
- For the OID, you need to check this MSDN article.
Now follow the above steps to create all the 5 attributes which are needed. After creating these attributes, we need to attach them to the "USER" object.
- In the same MMC, Expand "CLASSES" and select user object.
- Right click on user and select properties
- Go to its attributes tab, and click Add
- Select the attributes that you've created one by one and click on OK
That's it. Now, your user object would have all those attributes, and you can store values using any method you like. If you create an user using CreateUser wizard control, it would populate and store the values of the secret-question, answer automatically. ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider would take care of storing, retrieving values of these attributes itself, you no need to program anything for them.
But, there would be some situation the users have been already created, but you need to attach these attributes to them. Follow the above methods to add attributes to the user object. And, now open the particular user's properties in ADSIEDIT.msc, and add values to them.
After following all the above steps, follow the other steps mentioned in this article to configure your web.config sections to map the attributes you've created in AD.
NOTE: Password-answer is the only one attribute out of these 5 which would be stored in an encrypted format. section would be used for the encryption of this, if you create an user using the CreateUser wizard. But, if you have already created the user in the AD, and you want to just store the secret-question and password, you may want to check my next blog where I'll explain how to use the same encryption method used by the MembershipProvider to store the secret-password in the active directory for the user.


The origin of the Rificolona lead back before twentieth century, when many peasants and mountain dwellers come to the city from the hills of Vallombrosa and Impruneta to celebrate the nativity of Madonna nella Basilica della Santissima Annunziata. They praised the Vergin 8 september and sold their products under the open Gallery of the Ospedale degli Innocenti.
To light the way during the walk, the peasants carrry small lanterns, open at the top to allow the candle to burn. This is an occasion when Florentine youngsters and teenagers party all night, teasing the peasants, calling them fierucolone or fieruculone, (on account of their animated participation and their rather abundant bottoms). Over the course of time, the party is a little changed but still today, on the night of the celebration, between 7 and 8 september, there are two groups: the boys march with their blowpipe and the children march in the city center supporting the rificolone and singing:
Ona, ona, ona
Oh che bella rificolona!
La mia l'è co' fiocchi
E la tua l'è co' pidocchi.
E l'è più bella la mia
Di quella della tu zia.
The word "rificolona" derives from the ancient "fierucola", little feast but important.

Animal Species:Ischnochiton australis
Not only is this the largest chiton found in Sydney, it is also the most common. If you turn a rock over on any rock platform in Sydney, you should find a few. This species congregates in large groups on rocks close to the low-tide mark.
The shell of this chiton is green-brown and generally not covered in algae, as is the case with some other chiton species in Sydney.
This chiton species is found in southern Australia.
Chitons are found on intertidal rocky shores.

Determination of the length of deformation waves in the high-rate deformation of metals
- 14 Downloads
A simple method has been devised for determining the length of a deformation wave in a solid. The method is based on the phenomenon of metalcutting and makes use of the interference of coherent waves. A hypothesis regarding the wave propagation of mechanical and thermal energy is proven experimentally, and it is established that the frequency of these oscillations increases with an increase in deformation rate.

Emseal 20H System: Water-Based Asphalt Emulsion
Emseal 20H System is a tried and true preformed expanding foam sealant produced by impregnating permanently elastic, high density, open-cell polyurethane foam with an acrylic polymermodified, water-based asphalt emulsion. It is primarily used in below-grade applications. The architectural and engineering community has benefited from Emseal 20H System performance for over 30 years. Questions? Contact Us.
Note: The 20H System has been replaced for deck joint applications by the DSM System and in below-grade applications by BG System and DSM-DS. 20H System still exists in legacy specifications and for installations in below-grade, positive-side wall joints.
- 20H is a preformed expanding foam sealant produced by impregnating permanently elastic, high-density, open-cell polyurethane foam with water-based, polymer-modified asphalt.
- Partially filling the open-cells with the impregnation and then compressing the material results in levels of sealing depending on the degree of compression.
- Typically, approximately 5-times compression is required for watertightness in below-grade and horizontal deck applications.
- The 20H foam is packaged precompressed in shrink-wrapped lengths (sticks).
- It is supplied precompressed to less than the nominal material size for easy insertion into the joint.
- Sealing between the foam and substrate is achieved through a combination of the effects of foam backpressure and the epoxy adhesive applied to the substrates and into which the 20H foam is installed.
- The exposed or outer surface of the installed 20H is further treated with Topcoat, supplied to suit the application.
- The complete 20H System comprises three elements:
1. the 20H foam,
2. the epoxy adhesive, and
3. the Topcoat. See Figure 1.
Uses and Applications:
- As a watertight seal in joints including:
– structural joints
– perimeter joints
- 20H System will not adhere to joints that are dirty or dust-covered or to surfaces coated with oils or release agents.
- 20H System service temperature range is -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C).
- 20H is not resistant to sustained contact with petroleum solvents,
- oils, selected waxes, active chlorine, heavy oxidized acids or strong lyes.

Barley straw bales are ideal for improving water quality! Naturally occurring organisms will decompose the lignin in the barley releasing humic substances into the water. With exposure to sunlight and oxygen the compounds are converted into low levels of hydrogen peroxide, modifying your pond's chemistry and improving water quality.
Directions: One, single, 1 pound bale treats approximately 1,000 gallons of pond water. Bale lasts three to four months, apply second bale four weeks after first treatment to avoid interruption in water quality.

The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility includes an active Data Quality program to characterize the quality of ARM measurements. This minimizes the time required to address instrument problems to provide the best-possible measurements for scientific research. Maintaining data quality (DQ) for an organization with the size and complexity of ARM is a significant challenge, and is managed by the ARM Data Quality Office. The three sources of DQ information for ARM data are:
- Instrument handbooks—found on each instrument's page
- Embedded Quality Control (QC) flags—found in most data files as ancillary variables and can be easily deciphered
- Data Quality Reports (DQRs)—visible while browsing for data, received with data orders, and accessible through the DQR web service.
Even after significant scrutiny, some unidentified issues may be present in the data. Help ensure data quality by informing ARM of any issue, no matter the severity.

A 100,000 times improvement of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy might be possible thanks to a technique for separating the ortho spin isomer of water from its para and other forms by using a magnetic lens to manipulate a supersonic molecular beam. The Israeli team who developed the technique built in quantum mechanics experiments carried out in the 1920s and 1930s. The use of hyperpolarized water in NMR could improve its infamous low sensitivity.
However, separating water's spin isomers has been tried before and the concept remains controversial and unproven at a practical level.

I am a science fiction writer, looking for a method for constructing a realistic galactic map. I would like to know if it's possible to get the 3D density distribution of gas within a given Subhalo, such that (say, using volumetric fog) a 3D image of that galaxy could be constructed. Is it possible to compute this from data in the Illustris database?
The 3D gas density within galaxies/subhalos is, as you suspect, a direct output of the simulation. The form this data is in is somewhat complex - it could be considered a scattered/irregular point set. More accurately, it should (could) be interpreted as a Voronoi tessellation with the gas density and gradient (first derivative) defined within each control volume.
Making an image from this data is exactly what we've done in most of the movies (which show often gas temperature, or sometimes gas density). But with two differences to what you want: they are more zoomed out, showing many galaxies at once, and we typically neglect any fog/attenuation effects.
You could directly download, for a given subhalo, the gas Coordinates and Density fields, and with just these attempt some renders.
Let me know if I can help more.
Thanks for the reply.
I managed to identify those fields and am using them to place stars in my artificial galaxy.
I noticed that the gas density and coordinates data appears present only for the final snapshot of the simulation Illustris-1. I tried to grab the data for other snapshots (in the sub halo I'm using for my galaxy - 340843) and found it contained only the dark matter concentration. Is this intentional?
It is true that some subhalos will contain only e.g. dark matter.
But, subhalo ID 340843 at snapshots other than 135 has nothing to do with subhalo ID 340843 at snapshot 135 (z=0). To figure out what subhalo this guy originated from, you will need to follow the merger tree.
For example, looking at the sublink_progenitor field in the online API, the immediate prog (at snapshot 134) is 338003, which does indeed have gas, stars, etc.
I see. I'll have a look. So far the data has what I'm looking for. Thanks so much for your help and setting the simulation up.

Economic Effects of RGGI
How Selling Allowances Affects Consumer Prices
In other pollution reduction programs, power companies are given the allowances for free, the companies then pass through the "market value" of these allowances in their bills to consumers. This means that the cost of electricity to consumers will include as much of the cost of allowances as the law permits generators to add on, whether those allowances are purchased or obtained free of charge. Selling the allowances ensures that their proceeds will benefit the public by funding projects to conserve energy, reduce CO2 emissions and develop clean technologies.
The decision to sell allowances takes into account the European Union's experience. The E.U. gave away 90 percent of its allowances, thinking that would ease industry's compliance cost. However, that mechanism resulted in companies enjoying a windfall; power costs to customers increased to cover the cost of the allowances, but generators did not pay for the allowances. In the U.K. alone, free allowances amounted to a $1 billion grant to the power industry.
Likely Price Impact of RGGI
The cost of allowances, like the cost of fuel, will be built into generators' electricity prices. However, modeling analysis revealed that price impacts would be negligible. Economic modeling projected that RGGI would increase wholesale electricity prices by about 1.6 percent (78 cents per month for a typical residential customer) in 2015 and 2.4 percent ($1.13 per month for a typical residential customer) in 2021.
Economic models also projected that the price per allowance would be $2/ton in 2009. Though the projections were considered accurate, the regulations include some mechanisms to mitigate the risk of high prices. These mechanisms include expanding the use of offsets, adjusting compliance periods and holding frequent auctions. There is also a "circuit breaker" provision that expands offsets if the price of an allowance rises to $7/ton.
Analysis Group Report: The Economic Impacts of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative on Ten Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States
According to the Analysis Group Report released in November, 2011, RGGI has raised over $1.6 billion for the ten participating states since the program began in 2008. Most of the funding from the auction proceeds was spent on energy efficiency programs, saving regional customers $1.1 billion in electricity bills, and over $174 million on natural gas and heating bills. RGGI programs also created 16,000 jobs throughout the region, and the region's payments for out-of-state fossil fuels decreased by over $765 million. (See link at right.)

Can A Horse Beat A Lion? Because of its quick instincts and high stamina, the horse would likely outrun the lion. Lions can run as fast as 50 mph. Cheetahs are faster, but lions are stronger. Lions run around 40 mph on average, but there are times when chasing prey that they reach speed over 50 mph.
What animal can beat a horse? Predators of the horse include humans, mountain lions, wolves, coyotes and even bears. The fact that horses are prey animals helps to explain some of their behaviors.
Can a Tiger hunt a horse? Tigers eat a variety of prey ranging in size from termites to elephant calves. However, an integral component of their diet are large-bodied prey weighing about 20 kg (45 lbs.) or larger such as moose, deer species, pigs, cows, horses, buffalos and goats.
What animal can kill a lion with a kick? While giraffe calves are easy targets, adults offer a risk that's as high as it is high reward. Because while a single corpse can feed a pride and their hovering scavengers for quite some time, a giraffe can kick with a force of 2,000 pounds per square inch. That's enough to decapitate a lion who gets too close.
Can A Horse Beat A Lion – Related Questions
Can a mountain lion kill a full grown horse?
Fortunately, mountain lion attacks on humans—and horses—are rare. In the eyes of the mountain lion, humans and horses are not viewed as ideal prey. Deer can also become prey for mountain lions. Typically, a lion may attack a horse if the lion is extremely desperate for food, or is young and inexperienced in hunting.
Are bears afraid of horses?
Fortunately, bears are not known to actively hunt horses and mostly just keep to themselves. Bear attacks on horses typically only occur when the horse and rider accidentally come across one on the trail. You should back away slowly and, if possible, move sideways away from the bear.
Are cars faster than horses?
How Fast Can a Horse Run? The fastest speed recorded for a horse is 55 mph, so in theory they could have beaten some of the earliest cars for pure speed. However, even by 1899, the land speed record for an automobile was over 57 mph, achieved in France in a Jeantaud Duc Profilée. They will generally reach about 27 mph.
Will a tiger beat a lion?
If there's a fight, the tiger will win, every time." Lions hunt in prides, so it would be in a group and the tiger as a solitary creature so it would be on its own. A tiger is generally physically larger than a lion. Most experts would favour a Siberian and Bengal Tiger over an African Lion."
Who would win a moose or a horse?
Moose vs Horse size
Moose are much taller than the horses as they are 5 feet 3 inches(160cm) whereas the fully mature horses normally achieve the height of 5 feet 8.9 inches(175cm). So, when it comes to size, horses lose, and moose win.
Are tigers scared of elephants?
Are Tigers Afraid Of Elephants? No, they do not. Tigers and elephants are frequently found living side by side in southern India. While tigers are not often attracted to elephants because of their size, they have been observed killing elephant babies.
What are lions afraid of?
"They're the least afraid of anything of all the predators," says Craig Packer, an ecologist with the University of Minnesota and one of the world's foremost lion experts. Though female lions hunt gazelles and zebras, male lions are in charge of hunting large prey that must be taken down with brute force.
Can a gorilla kill a lion?
Ultimately, we believe the odds are in the gorilla's favor. However, a gorilla is a mighty foe with more stamina and fearsome strength. It's the will to fight will last much longer than a male lion's and if it gets its hands upon a solid branch, it can put a beating on its feline combatant.
What to do if a lion is chasing you?
Give them a way to escape. Do not run from a lion. Running may stimulate a mountain lion's instinct to chase. Instead, stand and face the animal.
Can a horse smell a mountain lion?
Mountain lions don't typically attack healthy adult horses and they generally avoid humans, however serious encounters have occurred. Our horses, often to our surprise, are likely to be aware of and react to predators which we can neither smell or hear.
Are coyotes scared of horses?
Even if they're not yet attacking your herd, coyotes will absolutely attack horses if the circumstances are right. While adult horses are absolutely more of a challenge for a coyote because of their size, the sizes of foals and miniature horses are less frightening.
Can a puma kill a horse?
In the last year, while his feline counterparts have feasted mainly on deer, this cougar has garnered a reputation as a horse killer par excellence. Even in a part of California with one of the densest cougar populations, M166 can only do so much. He has killed more than 30 horses since June of 2017.
Who would win a horse or a bear?
Horses can outrun bears in a race. But a bear has a quick initial burst and could catch a horse over a short span, especially in the woods. They can go from zero to 35 miles per hour in a blink. So, a bear can catch a horse even though horses are faster than bears.
What animals scare horses?
In the wild, horses are most scared of natural predators like lions, wolves, and alligators. Domesticated horses can be scared of any sound they haven't heard before, and it could be as innocent as the sounds of plastic bags, barking, or any suspicious noise in the wind.
Which is faster a grizzly bear or a horse?
Grizzly bears are the largest bears in the world. Although grizzly bears look like lumbering giants, they can run faster than many horses — 35 miles per hour — over short distances.
Are ponies faster than horses?
1. They're amazing in a jump-off. Horses may be able to jump bigger, but ponies are quicker. They can turn on a sixpence, jump clear from the weirdest angles, are braver than lions, and ridden by fearless Pony Club demons.
Can a cheetah outrun a car?
A cheetah would beat most cars (even really expensive sports cars) to top speed (which can be over 100km/h) but it can't run that fast for very long. in an absurd three seconds flat, making it faster than a Ferrari Enzo, a McLaren F1 and a Lamborghini Gallardo.
Who is smarter lion or tiger?
An experiment conducted on all four species of big cats has shown that lions are smarter than tigers. Lions could solve tasks and puzzles that tigers couldn't. In fact, based on the results of solving various cognitive tasks, lions have proved to be the smartest big cats.
Who is the real king of the jungle?
Lions have famously acquired the title of 'King of the Jungle'.
Who is the biggest horse in the world?
The tallest and heaviest documented horse was the shire gelding Sampson (later renamed Mammoth), bred by Thomas Cleaver of Toddington Mills, Bedfordshire, UK. This horse, foaled 1846, measured 21.2½ hands, 2.19 m (7 ft 2.5 in) in 1850 and was later said to have weighed 1,524 kg (3,359 lb).
Which animal can defeat tiger?
However, a lion coalition of 2–3 males would have a clear advantage over a lone tiger. A group of 2–4 female lions would have a similar advantage over a lone tigress. They conclude that while one on one, a tiger would certainly best a lion, in the wild the lion pride could hold their own against the solitary tiger.


Using Microsoft Visual Basic Express 2010
This is the code i used:
Dim b As Integer = TextBox1.Text
Dim c As Integer = TextBox2.Text
Dim a As Integer = b * c
MsgBox(a
Why does this visual basic code not work and how do i fix it to make it work? It is supposed to multiply any two numbers I input into the text boxes but whenever I 'start debugging', it says:
"Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid." and it highlights 'As Integer = TextBox1.Text' (part of first line of text)
Ive been trying to figure out why it wont work for a while now. Please help! And please be detailed in answer.
Thanks
It looks like it's because TextBox1.Text is of type string. I'm not sure but it may attempt to convert the string into an int where applicable (with inputs such as "20" or "350") and error out otherwise. If the text box is empty, conversion may not be possible. You may need to check if the string can be converted and there's a built in function for this called IsNumeric. You can read more about it below:
_URL_
Also, where have you placed the code to work out the value? If this is done as soon as the program loads, it may not work as expected. You will need to do this as part of a button click event handler.
You are trying to assign a string value to an integer variable. In order to do the assignment you should first (as stated by jwdunne) determine that the conversion is possible. If the conversion is possible you can use Convert to do the conversion as in
Dim b As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(textbox1.Text)
Replace "ToInt32" with the appropriate conversion.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
 Dim b As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text)
 Dim c As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(TextBox2.Text)
 Dim a As Integer = b * c
 MsgBox(a, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, )
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
 Select Case e.KeyCode
 Case Keys.D0, Keys.D1, Keys.D2, Keys.D3, Keys.D4, Keys.D5, Keys.D6, Keys.D7, Keys.D8, Keys.D9
 e.SuppressKeyPress = False
 Case Keys.Subtract, Keys.OemMinus
 If Me.TextBox1.Text.StartsWith("-") Then e.SuppressKeyPress = True
 Case Keys.Delete, Keys.Back, Keys.Enter, Keys.Return
 e.SuppressKeyPress = False
 Case Else
 e.SuppressKeyPress = True
 End Select
End Sub
The keyDown sub will need to be for both text boxes, and you will not be allowed to type in text just +/- intergers
 Dim b As Integer = CInt(TextBox2.Text)
 Dim c As Integer = CInt(TextBox3.Text)
 Dim a As Integer = b * c
 MsgBox(a)
Or, you can shorten the whole thing to one line:
MsgBox(Val(TextBox1.Text) + Val(TextBox2.Text))

Characteristic and Facts Of The Red Sea
by Rezha Ariffianta
Sea or ocean are the biggest water territory on the earth. Form of the earth surface consist of water and mainland. The water territory is even larger than the mainland which is 2/3 part of the earth. And the largest one is sea or ocean. The difference between sea and ocean is basically the breadth. The sea is narrower than the ocean even both of them have salty water.
Even though we see that oceans and seas are adjoining, but there are borders between them. Some oceans on this earth are Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Arktik Ocean, Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile, there are some popular seas like South China Sea, Red Sea, Black Sea, and Dead Sea. After we talked about South Chine Sea before, now we will discuss about The Red Sea. The sea that is famous because its legendary history.
Geographic of The Red Sea
The Red Sea is a sea that is located in Arabian Peninsula. It is a sea which is not too large but long enough. the Red Sea or Teberau Sea is a gulf in the west side of Arabian Peninsula that separate 2 continents, Asian Continent and African Continent. The south sea lane is Babul Mandib and Telk Aden, while in the north side is Sinai Peninsula and Suez Canal.
This sea has 300 km width and 1.900 km length, and the lowest point is 2.500 m. The Red Sea has a unique name related with its history. However, actually the name is symbolic only while the color of the sea which is red can be explained scientifically. Here are the characteristics of The Red Sea:
Characteristics of The Red Sea
Red Sea is one of popular sea in the world. The Red Sea has special criteria which may be not belong to other seas. And the criteria are:
The shape is long and less wide.
One of the characteristics is the shape which is long and the width is only 300 km, while the length is 1.900 km. So that if we see it from the air, it looks like narrow.
Overgrown with some coral species.
Red Sea is also a sea that is occupied by some coral species. Sometimes this sea biota is the one which makes the sea color become red and finally it is called as The Red Sea.
Those are the characteristics of The Red Sea. Then, there are also interesting facts of the Red Sea. What are they? Let's talk about it!
Facts of The Red Sea
Some interesting facts of The Red Sea are:
 1. The place where Fir'aun, opponent of Prophet Musa, was drowned out. This fact is supported by the research that found the rest of carriage wreckage and the human bones.
 2. The saltiest sea in the world of which salinity is 40%.
 3. The hottest sea in the world.
 4. The sea with the calmest flow in the world.
 5. The most important trading lane in the past.
So, those are interesting facts of The Red Sea. We hope this information is useful for all of us.

of the continue attribute) or if the stopSpeechInput() method was invoked.
Some implementations may dispatch the change event for elements when their value changes. When the new value was obtained as the result of a speech input session, such implementations must dispatch the speechchange event prior to the change event.
The speecherror event is dispatched when the active speech input session resulted in an error.
When the stopSpeechInput() method is invoked, if there was an active speech input session and this element had initiated it, the user agent must gracefully stop the session as if end-of-speech was detected. The user agent must perform speech recognition on audio that has already been recorded and the relevant events must be fired if necessary. If there was no active speech input session, if this element did not initiate the active speech input session or if end-of-speech was already detected, this method must return without doing anything.
When the cancelSpeechInput() method is invoked, if there was an active speech input session and this element had initiated it, the user agent must abort the session, discard any pending/buffered audio data and fire no events for the pending data. If there was no active speech input session or if this element did not initiate it, this method must return without doing anything.
5.2 SpeechInputResultCollection interface
 [NoInterfaceObject]
 interface SpeechInputResultCollection {
 readonly attribute unsigned long length;
 SpeechInputResult item(in unsigned long index);
 void feedback(DOMString correctUtterance);
 };

The length attribute must return the number of results represented by the collection.
The item(index) method must return the indexth result in the collection. If there is no indexth result in the collection, then the method must return null.
The feedback(correctUtterance) method is used to give feedback on the speech recognition results.
5.3 SpeechInputResult interface
The results attribute returns a sequence of SpeechInputResult objects. In ECMAScript, SpeechInputResult objects are represented as regular native objects with optional properties named utterance, confidence and interpretation.
 [NoInterfaceObject]
 interface SpeechInputResult {
 readonly attribute DOMString utterance;
 readonly attribute float confidence;
 readonly attribute object interpretation;
 };

The utterance attribute must, on getting, return the text of recognized speech.
The confidence attribute must, on getting, return a value in the inclusive range [0.0, 1.0] indicating the quality of the match. The higher the value, the more confident the recognizer is that this matches what the user spoke.
The interpretation attribute must, on getting, return the result of semantic interpretation of the recognized speech, using semantic annotations in the grammar. If no grammar was specified or if the grammar contained no semantic annotations for the utterance, this value should be the same as utterance.
5.4 SpeechInputError interface
 [NoInterfaceObject]
 interface SpeechInputError {
 const unsigned short ABORTED = 1;
 const unsigned short AUDIO = 2;
 const unsigned short NETWORK = 3;
 const unsigned short NO_SPEECH = 4;
 const unsigned short NO_MATCH = 5;
 const unsigned short BAD_GRAMMAR = 6;
 readonly attribute unsigned short code;
 readonly attribute DOMString message;
 };

The code attribute must return the appropriate code from the following list:
ABORTED (numeric value 1)
The user or a script aborted speech input.
AUDIO (numeric value 2)
There was an error with recording audio.
NETWORK (numeric value 3)
There was a network error, for implementations that use server-side recognition.
NO_SPEECH (numeric value 4)
No speech heard before nospeechtimeout.
NO_MATCH (numeric value 5)
Speech was heard, but could not be interpreted in the specified language and language model.
BAD_GRAMMAR (numeric value 6)
There was an error in the speech recognition grammar.
The message attribute must return an error message describing the details of the error encountered. This attribute is primarily intended for debugging and developers should not use it directly in their application user interface.
5.5 Notes about existing attributes
The lang attribute, if present, sets the speech input language. If this attribute is not set the implementation must fall back to the language of the closest ancestor that has a lang attribute, and finally to the language of the document.
The pattern attribute, if present, should be used to guide the speech recognizer. If grammar was also specified, grammer takes precedence over pattern.
For HTMLInputElement the value attribute must be the utterance of the most likely recognition result after a successful recognition. This is equivalent to results[0].utterance. In the case of unsuccessful recognition value must remain unaffected.
5.6 Differences between single line and multi-line elements
5.7 Backwards Compatibility
A DOM application can use the hasFeature(feature, version) method of the DOMImplementation interface with parameter values "SpeechInput" and "1.0" (respectively) to determine whether or not this module is supported by the implementation.
Implementations that don't support speech input will ignore the additional attributes and events defined in this module and the HTML elements with these attributes will continue to work with other forms of input.
6 Implementation
6.1 Control Flow
This section is non-normative.
The following diagram indicates the transitions and events relevant to an element with speech input in a typical scenario.
6.2 User Agent Representation
7 Use-Cases and Requirements
This section outlines the use cases and requirements that are covered by this specification.
7.1 Use-Cases
7.1.1 Web search by voice
A user speaks the search query and get search results.
7.1.2 Speech translation
The web application works as an interpreter between two users who speak different languages. User1 has the web application to translate speech from Lang1 to lang2 and User2 has the web application to translate speech from Lang2 to Lang1. As each of them speak, the recognized text gets translated to the language of the other user and is spoken out.
7.1.3 Speech enabled web-email client
Useful for hands-free access in various scenarios, the web application reads out e-mails and listens for commands such as "archive", "star", "reply, ok, let's meet at 2 pm", "forward to bob" etc.
7.1.4 Speech shell
This is a general purpose interface for every day use, allows multiple commands with optional arguments, some of which are free-form. For e.g. "call <number>", "call <contact>", "calculate <arithmetic expression>", "search for <query>".
7.1.5 Turn-by-turn navigation
The web application speaks out driving instructions and accepts spoken commands from the user. For e.g. "go to <address>", "go to <contact-or-business-name>", "reroute", "suspend navigation" etc.
7.1.6 Dialog systems, e.g. flight booking, pizza ordering.
The web application receives customer requests using the Speech Input API and processes them with business logic coded in ECMAScript.
7.1.7 Multimodal interaction
A user tries to find directions by saying "I want to go here" and clicks on a map.
7.2 Requirements
7.2.1 The Speech Input API must provide the ability to bind results to specific input fields.
7.2.2 The Speech Input API must allow a web application to receive notifications on speech recognition completion.
7.2.3 The Speech Input API must allow a web application to receive notifications on speech recognition errors and no-match conditions.
7.2.4 The Speech Input API must provide the full context of recognition including the n-best hypotheses list, confidences of each result and semantic interpretation of each result to the web application.
7.2.5 The Speech Input API must allow a web application to specify a custom grammar for recognition.
7.2.6 The Speech Input API must use existing standards when specifying a custom grammar for recognition.
7.2.7 The Speech Input API must allow a web application to specify the language of recognition.
7.2.8 The Speech Input API must allow a web application to stop or cancel an active speech input session.
7.2.9 The Speech Input API must activate a recognition session only in response to a user action.
7.2.10 The Speech Input API must provide a clear indication to the user when a speech input session is active and audio is being recorded.
7.2.11 The Speech Input API must not provide a web application access to the recorded audio stream.
7.2.12 The Speech Input API implementation must provide a default visual user interface for recognition.

3D Electromagnetic Field Mapping Device (EMF Map)
Project ID: AEE-2017-35
Students: Faisal Usman, Sami Ollila, Klaus Hamara, Saijariina Kuokkanen
Project manager: Faisal Usman
Instructor: Ilkka Laakso
Starting date: 5.1.2017
The objective of our project was to make improvements in the existing 3D magnetic field measurement and visualization system.
The improvements included are:
Summary of results
The option for visualization is a 3D point cloud image from Kinect.
These visuals combined with the simplification of the user interface provide a straightforward way to measure 3D magnetic fields and inspect the results quickly.
In addition to measuring and saving measurement data, the system can also display the results visually
Measured magnetic field data can be used to calculate the induced electric fields
