Sirocco, scirocco, //, jugo or, rarely, siroc (Catalan: Xaloc, Greek: Σορόκος, Spanish: Siroco, Occitan: Siròc, Eisseròc) is a Mediterranean wind that comes from the Sahara and can reach hurricane speeds in North Africa and Southern Europe.
Origin of name
Scirocco and Sirocco are from the Greek name, σιρόκος sirókos (through Italian scirocco [ʃiˈrɔkko]), which in turn derives from the Arabic word šarq [ʃaːrq], East) while ghibli is its name in Libya. The name jugo, pronounced [jûɡo], used in Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Macedonia, Slovenia, Slovakia and hot, dust-bearing wind is called la calima. In Albanian it is called jugu. The leveche usually carries red Sahara dust and is associated with storms and heavy rain, the wind being very strong, lasting about four days. In Portugal, it is known as siroco and xaroco. In Malta, it is known as xlokk. In Levantine Arabic (Lebanon and Syria) a similar wind is referred to as شلوق shlūq.
It arises from a warm, dry, tropical airmass that is pulled northward by low-pressure cells moving eastward across the Mediterranean Sea, with the wind originating in the Arabian or Sahara deserts. The hotter, drier continental air mixes with the cooler, wetter air of the maritime cyclone, and the counter-clockwise circulation of the low propels the mixed air across the southern coasts of Europe.
The Sirocco causes dusty dry conditions along the northern coast of Africa, storms in the Mediterranean Sea, and cool wet weather in Europe. The Sirocco's duration may be as short as half a day or may last several days. Many people attribute health problems to the Sirocco either because of the heat and dust along the African coastal regions or because of the cool dampness in Europe. The dust within the Sirocco winds can cause abrasion in mechanical devices and penetrate buildings.
Sirocco winds with speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour are most common during the autumn and the spring. They reach a peak in March and in November when it is very hot, with a maximum speed of about 100 km/h (55 knots).
The calima is a hot, oppressing dust-laden, southerly to southeasterly, sometimes easterly wind in the Canary Islands region. It is particularly prevalent in winter. Like its "big brother" the sirocco, the calima blows out of a high-pressure area over Northern Africa and the Sahara and is normally drawn northwards ahead of a passing cold front or depression north of the archipelago. Its fine yellowish-brown dust creeps through doors and windows. Outside visibility often reduces to nil.
Sometimes a rare small depression forming southwest of the Canary Islands increase the wind speed and intensity of a calima event. Such storms and the rising warm and humid air can lift dust up to 5,000 m above the Atlantic, blanketing hundreds of thousands of square miles of the eastern Atlantic Ocean with a dense cloud of Saharan sand, which can often reach as far as the Caribbean.
The hot and humid calima is often associated with fog and patchy drizzle and respiratory problems can often affect Canarian people. Conditions can become so bad that public life and transport are brought to a standstill. On January 8, 2002, the international airport at Santa Cruz had to be closed because visibility dropped to less than 50 meters.

The steradian (symbol: sr) is the SI unit of solid angle. It is used to describe two-dimensional angular spans in three-dimensional space, analogous to the way in which the radian describes angles in a plane. The name is derived from the Greek stereos for "solid" and the Latin radius for "ray, beam".
The steradian, like the radian, is dimensionless because 1 sr = m2·m−2 = 1. It is useful, however, to distinguish between dimensionless quantities of different nature, so in practice the symbol "sr" is used where appropriate, rather than the derived unit "1" or no unit at all. For example, radiant intensity can be measured in watts per steradian (W·sr−1). The steradian was formerly an SI supplementary unit, but this category was abolished from the SI in 1995 and the steradian is now considered an SI derived unit.
A steradian is defined as the solid angle subtended at the center of a sphere of radius r by a portion of the surface of the sphere whose area, A, equals r2.
Since A = r2, it corresponds to the area of a spherical cap (A = 2πrh) (wherein h stands for the "height" of the cap), and the relationship h/r = 1/(2π) holds. Therefore one steradian corresponds to the solid angle of a simple cone subtending an angle θ, with θ given by:
This angle corresponds to an apex angle of 2θ ≈ 1.144 rad or 65.54°.
Because the surface area of a sphere is 4πr2, the definition implies that a sphere measures 4π ≈ 12.56637 steradians. By the same argument, the maximum solid angle that can be subtended at any point is 4π sr. A steradian can also be called a squared radian.
A steradian is also equal to the spherical area of a polygon having an angle excess of 1 radian, to 1/(4π) of a complete sphere, or to (180/π)2 ≈ 3282.80635 square degrees.
The solid angle (in steradians) of the simple cone subtending an angle θ is given by:
Analogue to radians
In two dimensions, the angle in radians is related to the arc length it cuts out:
Now in three dimensions, the solid angle in steradians is related to the area it cuts out:
Steradians only go up to 4π ≈ 12.56637, so the large multiples are not usable for the base unit, but could show up in such things as rate of coverage of solid angle, for example.

There is an old dry well. Its sides are made of concrete rings. Each such ring is one meter high, but the rings can have different (internal) diameters. Nevertheless, all the rings are centered on one another. The well is N meters deep; that is, there are N concrete rings inside it. You are about to drop M concrete disks into the well. Each disk is one meter thick, and different disks can have different diameters. Once each disk is dropped, it falls down until:
- it hits the bottom of the well;
- it hits a ring whose internal diameter is smaller then the disk's diameter; or
- it hits a previously dropped disk. (Note that if the internal diameter of a ring and the diameter of a disk are equal, then the disk can fall through the ring.)
The disks you are about to drop are ready and you know their diameters, as well as the diameters of all the rings in the well. The question arises: how many of the disks will fit into the well?
Write a function: int falling_disks(int A, int N, int B, int M); that, given two zero-indexed arrays of integers − A, containing the internal diameters of the N rings (in top-down order), and B, containing the diameters of the M disks (in the order they are to be dropped) − returns the number of disks that will fit into the well. For example, given the following two arrays:
A = 5 B = 2 A = 6 B = 3 A = 4 B = 5 A = 3 B = 2 A = 6 B = 4 A = 2 A = 3
the function should return 4, as all but the last of the disks will fit into the well. The figure shows the situation after dropping four disks.
- N is an integer within the range [1..200,000];
- M is an integer within the range [1..200,000];
- each element of array A is an integer within the range [1..1,000,000,000];
- each element of array B is an integer within the range [1..1,000,000,000].
- expected worst-case time complexity is O(N);
- expected worst-case space complexity is O(N), beyond input storage (not counting the storage required for input arguments).
- Elements of input arrays can be modified.
I tried using a stack and doing something, but i am not able to get to O(n) solution, the worst case still remains O(n^2) even after some optimizations i think.

Description:
The Rapid River is a tributary to the Torch River. The Rapid is 18 miles long and originates about six miles northeast of Kalkaska in a forested area of the Mancelona Plain. For most of its length, it flows through a deep, picturesque valley which was probably carved by a larger glacial meltwater stream. The stream corridor is mostly forested, undeveloped cedar swamp.

The stream system has only five tributaries, which is a low number for a stream of its length. This indicates that tremendous quantities of cold, high-quality ground water discharge directly into the main stream channel. The total length of the five tributaries is about 12 miles, bringing the total channel length for the system to about 30 miles. Only one tributary, the Little Rapid River, is named. The Rapid is a second-order stream.

The stream system is crossed by roads nine times: Priest Rd.(nearest its headwaters), followed by Leetsville Rd., U.S. 131, Wood Rd. (twice), Underhill Rd., Kellogg Rd., Rapid City Rd. (C-597) and Aarwood Rd. (nearest its mouth).

The greatest elevation of the river's headwaters is 1,083 feet. The river drops almost 500 feet in elevation, for an average stream gradient of about 27 feet per mile. In a nine mile stretch between U.S. 131 and Kellogg Road, the river's gradient averages 36 feet per mile. As a result of the steep gradient, most parts of the stream have a gravel or rocky bottom. The last three miles have a low gradient with sand and organic sediments on the bottom. The lower 1.25 miles of the Rapid River is slightly impounded by the Elk Rapids Dam.

The Rapid River is located in Clearwater, Rapid River, and Cold Springs Townships in Kalkaska County. There is one dam on the river, creating a 30 acre impoundment called Rugg Pond. In the past this pond has been stocked with brook trout.

There is quite a bit of State land along the upper third of the river (upstream from Woods Road). In 1998, The State acquired a one mile stretch of stream (known as the Seven Bridges Property) with the assistance of the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy. Clearwater Township's Freedom Park is located on the river just north of Rapid City.

Studies have shown that the Rapid River has high dissolved oxygen levels, due to the low temperature, turbulent flow, and low numbers of aquatic plants (which can reduce oxygen at night through respiration). Phosphorus levels are low, probably because of the forested condition of the watershed, coupled with the fact that ground water recharge rather than surface runoff supplies most of the river's water. The channel above Rapid City was never cleared for log drives and therefore contains an abundant supply of cover compared to most streams.

Electroshocking surveys by the MDNR have revealed a high population of wild brook trout in the upper reaches, with brook, brown and rainbow trout all being found in the middle and lower reaches. The lower reach also contains white sucker and cheek chub. Anadromous rainbow trout (a.k.a. steelhead) ascend the Rapid from Torch and Elk Lakes in spring to spawn. The Rapid River is designated as a trout stream by the MDNR. It is considered a premier trout stream, although it is not listed as a blue ribbon stream.

Scientists have found that the tomb of Jesus Christ is far older than people thought
Scientists have discovered the tomb in which Jesus Christ may have been buried dates back almost 1,700 years.
National Geographic reported that tests carried out on the remains of a limestone cave in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem date back to around 345 CE.
Previous evidence had only dated the tomb back 1,000 years, to the Crusader period.
Although it is difficult to tell definitively whether the tomb is the burial site of a Jew identified as Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy Sepulchre Church is largely accepted as the burial site of Christ.
The research, carried out by the National Technical University of Athens, does not offer further evidence as to whether Jesus was actually buried in the tomb, but it is consistent with the historical belief that the ancient Romans constructed a monument at the site around 300 years after his death.
The New Testament says Jesus died either in 30 or 33 CE, but historical accounts suggest the Romans found and enshrined the tomb in 326 CE.
The dating puts the original construction of the tomb in the time of the rule of Constantine, the first Christian emperor of Rome, who began the empire's transition to Christianity.
According to tradition, Constantine had the monument to Jesus constructed on what was believed to be his burial site.
A team of scientists has been carrying out restoration work on the site which involved opening and excavating the tomb, which has been sealed for centuries.
The scientists found the remains of a limestone bed that tradition states may have held the body of Jesus.
Using a technique called optically stimulated luminescence, the scientists were able to determine how recently the quartz sediment samples taken from the tomb's mortar were exposed to light.
The results showed the bed was constructed around 345 AD, around the reign of Constantine.
"Obviously, that date is spot-on for whatever Constantine did," archaeologist Martin Biddle told National Geographic.

hi how about trying to use sketchup?
i did not do it so if you do let us know how it went
share|improve this answer
What you are trying to do is usually called'solar envelope computation'. This paper present a method to compute it:
Eugenio Morello, Carlo Ratti, Sunscapes: 'Solar envelopes' and the analysis of urban DEMs, Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2009, Pages 26-34, ISSN 0198-9715, DOI: 10.1016/j.compenvurbsys.2008.09.005.
Solar envelope computation seems far more complex and different than hill shading. Hill shading usually only uses the orientation, and do not fully model light rays propagation.

Sketchup works great. You can define all kinds of settings and create time-lapse animations. Using ArcGIS, you can convert DSM to TIN then TIN to Multipatch and COLLADA and load into SketchUp.
In fact back in 2006 even ESRI was acknowledging the SketchUp was the tools for this: Quoting "Users can rapidly develop three-dimensional models that are georeferenced, animate scenes, and produce shadow casting studies for proposed building."
Take a look at the article: _URL_ It only applies to ArcGIS version 9.3.1 and older as this is the last version where the SketchUp6 plugin can be installed. In fact, for your purposes (DSM) it would probably be easier to use the plugin to convert the TIN surface to SketchUp then the new way which requires a few more steps. (The benefit of using the older version is that you can also export vector features (polylines, polygons, points) from ArcGIS to SketchUp whereas in version 10 this is not possible)
As was already mentioned in the previous similar post, ESRI claims to have similar functionality but I have not tried the tools personally.

Hello swingley,eliavs and jukub thanks for your suggestions, but i think none of your suggestions will get me the right results. perhaps you didn't get the question so i refer you to this article:a-a-r-s.org/acrs/proceeding/ACRS2002/Papers/VHR02-2.pdf. for you to get the picture. At page 3, section 3.2 Shadow simulation: this not so much to read, only a few sentence and figure 5. "Shadow simulation image" depicts exactly what i intended to achieve. perhaps, if anyone has experience solving such a task would be grateful if you could explain a little bit for me. thanks in advance. – Yudine Nov 11 '10 at 13:37
The actual answer to your initial question is no. You cannot use the hillshade function to obtain the shadows. Personally I don't have a very high option of the paper you mention; Aside from the numerous items that just don't make sense, the purpose is to recover information hidden in the shadow areas? Why not use an image taken from a different angle, time of day, etc. I disagree that none of our suggestions will give you the results depicted in figure 5. I will add another answer with some quick sketchup screen captures. – Jakub Nov 11 '10 at 14:56
"but i think none of your suggestions will get me the right results."
I still think you should consider the new ESRI tools or Sketchup. As for Sketchup, you can customize what object cast shadows on what objects. If you just want the shadows themselves -> view model in plan view and un-check perspective -> then paint model white on white background and in Style dialog turn off edges. See below for 2 examples of this; 1: buildings, 2: terrain. You can export this to tiff, import into ArcGIS or other GIS, georeference, classify, convert to polygons if need be.

Not in Arcgis, but the free SAGA GIS can calculate the shade of objects in a digital surface model: _URL_ Use the analytical hillshading method with the ray-tracing option. All values >90 degrees (>1.56 radians) are shadows (black in the sample figure below). alt text

Deaf Studies Courses
The RIT Deaf Cultural Studies program employs a cultural studies framework in which to examine the Deaf experience and social/cultural constructs. As such, the program does not view deafness as a pathology or disability. In addition to studying Deaf culture, students develop critical consciousness of power-relationships and social justice, as well as an understanding of individual and social identity with specific reference to the Deaf experience. Focusing on the Deaf experience, students study how meaning is created and shared via the power of cultural institutions and values and how institutions and values impact the formation of identities, social roles, and expectations. For more information concerning courses and other related resources, visit the Deaf Studies website.

It's snow problem for hardy Alpacas
Buy this photo » Rocky the Alpaca
THE snow has meant more rations and warmer bedding for most of the animals at Millet's Farm Centre near Abingdon.
But Alpacas Rocky and Eismann have also been showing off the skills that make them some of the world's hardiest animals.
While the county shivers in freezing temperatures, Rocky and Eismann have been keeping warm thanks to their thick Peruvian fur, or fibre.
And they've also been using their heads – and their noses and tongues – to reach the tasty grass buried beneath the snow.
Millet's outdoor animal keeper, Malcolm Skinner, 46, explained: "Alpacas are used to extremely cold temperatures, originating as they do from the Andes mountains.
"While most of the other animals here have been eating extra hay, Rocky and Eismann prefer to scratch and nuzzle, using their toes to burrow into the snow, before searching the green grass out with their mouths and long tongues."
Alpacas come from the highest regions of the Andes mountains in Peru and are bred mostly for their fibre – a thick, silky fur which not only keeps them warm, but is also used for making very soft, knitted and woven items.
Mr Skinner continued: "We have been giving the ponies, guinea pigs, sheep, goats and pigs extra warm bedding and more food than usual, but Rocky and Eismann are undeterred by this weather.
"People love seeing their woolly coats and although they fight a bit amongst themselves and are not that fond of dogs, they are pretty friendly animals."

Panasonic Receives Prestigious IEEE Corporate Innovation Award for Unique HIT Solar Technology
Panasonic was presented with the IEEE Corporate Innovation Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) on June 30 at the IEEE Honors Ceremony held in Boston, Mass. Panasonic was cited "for developing and commercializing high-performance heterojunction solar technology (HIT)" by the IEEE, the world's largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.
- Masato Ito, Executive Officer of Panasonic at IEEE award ceremony in Boston, USA
The IEEE Corporate Innovation Award, established in 1985, recognizes outstanding and exemplary contributions by an industrial entity, government or academic organization, or other corporate body, which have resulted in major advancement of the arts and science of electrotechnology. It is considered one of the most coveted awards in this field. A total of 37 different companies have previously received the award, including world-leading electrical manufacturers and IT companies. Panasonic has become the fifth Japanese company to receive this recognition.
Panasonic's HIT solar cells have a unique hybrid structure comprised of amorphous silicon and crystalline silicon, for which the company embarked on research and development in 1990. The company's efforts in developing solar cells to help solve the energy issue had started even earlier. In 1980, it became the first in the world to mass produce amorphous silicon solar cells, which were widely used as power source for electronic calculators, thereby contributing to the spread of solar cells. In 1997, Panasonic succeeded in commencing mass production of HIT solar cells and panels boasting the industry's highest-level power generation capability. HIT panels have earned acclaim for their high quality and power generation capability throughout the world.
- Corporate Innovation Award (Photo credit: IEEE)
Today, HIT solar cells have achieved a conversion efficiency of 23.9% at R&D level and 21.6% at mass production level. The company now has a total production capacity of 600MW of HIT solar cells per year, meeting demand in the three major markets of Japan, Europe, and the U.S. With its new Malaysian factory - an integrated production site for wafers (slicing), cells, and panels - coming on stream by year-end, Panasonic is ready to handle robust global demand for solar cells.
Panasonic continues to strive to further the development of society, industry, and academia through its world-leading technologies, while contributing to the creation of a safe, secure, and prosperous society with its renewable energy and other environmental technologies.

Posting XML with Curl [Java Code]
To post XML using Curl, you need to pass XML data to Curl with the -d command line option and specify the data type in the body of the POST request message using the -H Content-Type: application/xml command line parameter. In this Curl POST XML example, we also pass the Accept: application/xml request header to tell the server that the Curl client expects XML from the server. Click Run to execute the Curl POST XML Example online and see the results. The Java code was automatically generated for the Curl POST XML example.

What is Curl?
Curl is a popular command-line tool that allows you to send requests to the server, upload files, and submit web forms. Curl supports over 25+ protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, SFTP, FTP, and has built-in support for web forms, SSL, user authentication, and HTTP cookies. Curl works on Linux, Mac, Windows.
What is the correct MIME type for XML data?
There are two registered MIME types for XML data: application/xml and text/xml. Use the application/xml when making requests to API endpoints (XML data is not readable by users) and use text/xml when users can view XML data. However, since the introduction of RFC 7303, they should be considered the same in all respects except for the name.
Curl POST XML Request Content-Type Header
Content-Type: application/xml
Why do I need to specify Content-Type when posting XML with Curl?
If you are posting XML data using Curl, you must explicitly specify the data type in the body of the POST request message. Otherwise, Curl will pass the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type to the server for your data. Therefore, when you submit XML (or any other type of data), you need to explicitly specify the data type using the -H "Content-Type: application/xml" command-line argument.
Why do I need to pass the Accept header when requesting XML using Curl?
If your Curl client expects XML due to a submitted request, it must also send an Accept: application/xml request header to the server. Without this header, the server may return data in a different format.
Curl POST XML Request Accept Header
Accept: application/xml
The server informs the client that it has returned XML data with the Content-Type: application/xml response header.
Curl POST XML Request Example
Example of sending XML data to the ReqBin echo URL.
Curl POST XML Request Example
curl -X POST _URL_
 -H "Content-Type: application/xml"

With its unique design, it provides an eye-catching focal point while maximizing vertical space. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to create your own hanging birdcage planter.
Selecting a Birdcage:
Choose a birdcage that suits your style and desired size for the planter. Look for a cage with wide enough spacing between the bars to allow plants to grow and flourish. Ensure the cage is sturdy and in good condition, with a secure latch or opening for easy access to the plants.
Preparing the Birdcage:
Thoroughly clean the birdcage to remove any dirt, debris, or residues. Use mild soap and water, scrubbing gently with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse it well and let it dry completely before proceeding.
Adding a Liner:
To prevent soil from falling through the bars, line the inside of the birdcage with a suitable liner. You can use landscape fabric, coconut coir, sphagnum moss, or even a combination of these materials. Cut the liner to fit the inside of the birdcage, leaving a little extra to fold over the top edge. Secure the liner in place using small clips or twist ties.
Select plants that are well-suited for a hanging environment and fit within the birdcage's dimensions. Consider the lighting conditions of the intended location and choose plants accordingly. Opt for trailing plants such as ivy, pothos, spider plants, or trailing petunias. You can also include smaller upright plants or flowering varieties for added interest.
Preparing the Soil:
Use a lightweight and well-draining potting mix for the birdcage planter. Avoid using heavy garden soil as it can retain too much moisture and become compacted. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and compost provides a suitable growing medium for most plants.
Planting the Birdcage:
Place a layer of the prepared potting mix on top of the liner in the birdcage. Create small holes or pockets in the soil to accommodate the plants. Gently remove the plants from their nursery containers, loosen the roots, and place them into the prepared holes. Backfill with additional soil, pressing gently to secure the plants in place. Arrange the plants in a visually pleasing manner, considering their growth habits and trailing lengths.
Watering and Care:
Water the plants thoroughly after planting to ensure the soil is evenly moist. Hang the birdcage planter in a location where it will receive the appropriate amount of sunlight for the chosen plants. Monitor the moisture level regularly and water as needed, ensuring not to overwater or let the soil dry out completely. Consider using a drip tray or saucer beneath the birdcage to catch any excess water.
Regularly inspect the birdcage planter for any dead or yellowing foliage. Prune or trim the plants as necessary to maintain their shape and encourage healthy growth. Rotate the birdcage occasionally to ensure all sides receive adequate light and prevent one side from becoming lopsided. Fertilize the plants periodically with a balanced liquid fertilizer, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Hanging the Birdcage:
Select a sturdy and secure hook or hanger to hang the birdcage planter. Ensure it can support the weight of the birdcage, soil, and plants. Hang it at a suitable height, considering the growth habits of the plants and the available space.
Enjoying Your Hanging Birdcage Planter:
Step back and admire your beautiful creation. The hanging bird.

Costoluto Genovese Tomato
From Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia
Common Name: Costoluto Genovese Tomato
Scientific Name: Lycopersicon lycopersicum cv
Description: Tender garden vegetable; Flattened, deeply lobed and scalloped, bright rich red fruits; Soft in texture, juicy and slightly tart
Size: Indeterminate vines; space caged plants 24 to 36 inches apart
Cultural Information: Prefers rich, sweet garden loam and full sun
Historical Notes: The Costoluto Genovese tomato is an Italian heirloom tomato variety. Its heavily lobed and often convoluted shape is indicative of early nineteenth century tomato varieties, but makes an oddity in today's vegetable garden. The Costoluto Genovese's stellar flavor is intense and acidic. Because of its odd shape, this tomato is best for sauces and pastes where the skin is removed.

Task Status Area
The Task Status Area (TSA) is the middle section of the terminal screen. It normally consists of four lines which each can contain status information of an active task.
The number of these status lines can be altered by setting the keyword NTASK= in the Hermes defaults file.
Every line in the TSA can contain a taskname, followed by a status message. The following messages have been defined:
WAITING TO BE RUN
a task has been activated, but is not running yet
RUNNING
the task is running
PAUSING
the task is suspended
WAITING FOR ...
the task is waiting for an other task to finish
+++ FINISHED +++
the task has finished processing normally
USER ABORT
the task has been aborted by the user
error message -FATAL
the task has detected a fatal error
CRASHED
the task exited without notification to Hermes
COULD NOT BE STARTED
the task could not be started. This is normally due to an incorrect executable, e.g. compiled for a different architecture)
task-defined message
this can be a user input prompt message, or a status message supplied by a running task

Approved Research
Identification of genetic variation associated with Chiari I malformation
Principal Investigator: Dr Gabriel Haller
Approved Research ID: 61106
Approval date: January 25th 2021
Lay summary
Chiari type I malformation (CM1) is one of the most common pediatric neurological conditions, affecting ~3% of individuals undergoing brain imaging. CM1 is characterized by the herniation of the cerebellum through the foramen magnum into the spinal canal, often leading to syringomyelia (SM), a fluid-filled cyst within the spinal canal. The genetic causes of CM1 and SM are poorly understood, but understanding these causes may improve diagnosis and treatment of these disorders, transforming the lives of affected individuals. The goals of this proposal are to 1) Identify common genetic variation associated with CM1/SM risk using GWAS data from the UKBiobank, 2) Identify genes with increased burden of rare genetic variants associated with CM1 risk using exome sequencing data from the UKbiobank and 3) Identify radiological biomarkers that correlate with CM1 using MRI scans from the UKBiobank. This project will have a duration of 3 years with the potential to continue if the UKBiobank dataset continues to expand.

This is a paired comparison questionenter image description here:
The answer is: enter image description here
However, this is my thought of using a t test on difference of population means
enter image description here
$$t=\frac{583.125 - 415 - 0}{\sqrt{\frac{_PHONE_^2}{8}+\frac{_PHONE_^2}{8}}}$$
$t= 1.2829$
enter image description here
critital value $t_{0.05}(df=14)$= 1.76131
$1.2829 < 1.76131$
therefore no difference between the mean daily sales from the two stores. Why am I getting a different conclusion? Is it reasonable to think about it this way?

I suppose $s_1^2$ is the sample variance of $\bar{x}_1$ and $s_2^2$ is the sample variance of $\bar{x}_2$. In that case, the sample variance of $\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2}$ is not equal to the sum of variance unless covariance is equal to zero. Hence, the denominator of your statistics does not seem to be correct. Moreover, the degrees of freedom are 7 because you only lose 1 observation when computing the var of the difference of the means. – Cristian Oct 3 '12 at 19:03
Sorry I didn't look at the formula used for the two sample t test. I assumed it was correct. Maybe that is another mistake but the key point is that it is the sample variance of the paired difference that needs to be used. If you like my answer so much why not give me an upvote. It seems to be awfully difficult on this site to get upvotes. – Michael Chernick Oct 4 '12 at 1:40
_USER_ yes, thank you for answering, but it looks like you have discussed the topic in CV, but Im wondering what is CV... – user133466 Oct 4 '12 at 15:35
_USER_ why do you think using the formula for 2 sample t test is incorrect in this scenario? I think we can use it because has been used to determine difference of population means. my thoughts are, if anything, this and the paired t test should come to the same conclusion... – user133466 Oct 4 '12 at 17:59
_USER_ If you have a big seasonal effect the variance of the two sample t test can be much higher than the paired test and that will hold even though one has more dfs than the other. Also you are using the unequal variance assumption for the two sample test. So it does not have a t distribution under the null hypothesis. It becomes the Behrens-Fisher problem and has Welch's distribution which is approximated by a t test. I thought Cristian was implying that you were using the wrong formula for the test because there was an algebraic eror in the formula you used. – Michael Chernick Oct 4 '12 at 18:55

You are using the formula for the unpaired two sample t test. The paired t test is like a one-sample test of the null hypothesis that the paired difference is 0 vs alternative that it is different from 0. The test statistic and the degrees of freedom are different. It is a more appropriate and more powerful test when the pairs are positively correlated. I have discussed this in posts on CV.

Your Answer


another if statement, but it also incorporates the previous if statement. This isn't crucial here, but it'd be important if, for example, you had one if statement looking for "anything less than 10" and another looking for "anything greater than 5." The values 5 through 9 would trigger both if statements, which could be a problem if they have conflicting actions. Here, else if is saying "if the previous if statement wasn't met, check if x equals 5." Finally, the else tells R that if neither of the previous if statements were met, follow this action.
In point #2, we use x == 5 because that notation asks R if the statement is true or false. If we wrote x = 5, we'd be assigning the value 5 to x, which causes an error within the if statement. You can use the logical operators <, >, <=, >=, ==, |, &, and ! to ask R if a statement is true.
 x == 4 # "x equals 4, true or false?"
 x != 4 # "x does not equal 4, true or false?"
 x > mega.multiply(10, 4) # "x is greater than the output of this function, true or
 # false?"
 x < 4 | x > 2 # "x is less than 4 OR x is greater than 2, true or false?"
 x < 4 & x > 2 # "x is less than 4 AND x is greater than 2, true or
 # false?"
__________________________________________________________________
Integrating function, if, and for loops
In the previous blog post, we talked about for loops and random walks. Much like a frustrating cumulative exam in school, let's incorporate everything we've learned to answer a tougher question: how do we write a function that finds the median?
No, using R's built-in median function won't cut it in this tutorial. Let's write our own. (median does, however, serve as a nice check to see whether our function is doing what we think it is.)
As a brief review of summary statistics, when we have a set of numbers, we often want a description of the "average" value of the set, or what we would expect if we drew a random value. Common descriptors are the mean, median, and mode. The median is the value that divides the set such that half of the values are below the median, and half are above. The median doesn't care about the actual values in the set; it will just find the middle-ranked one. It's therefore insensitive to outliers that would otherwise wreck the output from the mean. (If Bill Gates was visiting a high school classroom, the mean income of the people in the classroom would be millions of dollars, while the median would correctly be closer to zero.)
There are a few steps to finding the median. Let's write them here to clarify the plan of attack. We start with a set of values. Then:
1 - Sort the values from lowest to highest

2a - If there are an odd number of values, the middle value (where half the values lie below this point and half the values lie above) is the median
2b - If there are an even number of values, find the middle two values. Take their mean. This value is the median.
This is how the above would look like in R:
 med <- function(x){
 if(length(x) %% 2 == 1){ # "If the number of values is odd"
 return(sort(x)[length(x) / 2 + 1/2]) }
 if(length(x) %% 2 == 0){ # "If the number of values is even"
 return(mean(sort(x)[c(length(x) / 2, length(x) / 2 + 1)])) }
 }
 A more detailed explanation:
 med <- function(x){ # med will be a function that takes one input
 # Number of values is odd
 if(length(x) %% 2 == 1){ # If the length of the input, divided by 2, leaves a
 # remainder of 1
 return( # Return whatever will result from inside these
 # parentheses
 sort(x)[ # Sort the values of x from lowest to highest and
 # find the value that...
 length(x)/2 + 1/2])} # ...is 1/2 + the length of the input divided by 2 (i.e.
 # the middle)
 # Number of values is even
 if(length(x) %% 2 == 0){ # If the length of the input, divided by 2, leaves a
 # remainder of 0
 return(mean( # Return the mean of...
 sort(x)[c(length(x) / 2, # ...the sorted values of x, specifically the
 # "low" middle value...
 length(x)/2 + 1)]))} #... and the "high" middle value
Combining all that with a for loop
Nice work! Finally, let's create a one-dimensional random walk that uses if statements and our median function. Let's say we want to impose boundaries on our random walk such that if it wanders too far from the origin, we restart it at the median of the walk so far.
 # Set the parameters
 n.steps <- 1e5 # 100,000 steps (1.0 x 10^5)
 mean.step <- 0 # The random walk is unbiased (no preference up or
 # down)
 sd.step <-0.5 # The standard deviation of step sizes (steps are drawn
 # from a normal distribution)
 up.boundary <- 50 # The upper boundary of our walk
 down.boundary <- -50 # The lower boundary
 # Prepare variables
 walk <- 0 # Start the walk at zero
 shifts <- c() # Create an empty variable to note when the walk hits
 # boundary
 # The random walk
 for(i in 2:n.steps){
 # First, take a step
 walk[i] <- walk[i-1] + rnorm(1, mean.step, sd.step)
 # If the walk went above the upper boundary or below the lower boundary...
 if(walk[i] > up.boundary | walk[i] < down.boundary){
 walk[i] <- med(walk) # The walk resets at the median value of the
 # walk up to this point
 shifts[i] <- i # We also note the step at which this occurred
 }
 print(i) # Tell us what iteration of the walk we're on
 }
 # Plot it
 plot(walk, type = 'l', main = "A supervised random walk", las = 1, xlab =
 "Time", ylab = "Position", cex.main = 1.8, cex.lab = 1.4, font.lab = 2, col =
 "gray40")
 abline(v = shifts, col = "blue")
 par(font = 2)
 legend("topleft", lty = 1, col = "blue", legend = "Shifts", cex = 0.8)
Thanks for reading. In the next post, we'll cover the apply functions, which are very powerful methods for performing many calculations at once and efficiently analyzing matrices and data frames.

What is a terminal block? | Significance and Types
How do we connect two wires? By stripping the insulation at the ends and twisting them together? Yes, it works. But, is it safe? We can apply insulation tape over the joint or use a wire connector. But what if there are a number wires that need to be joint/connected near each other? Or, what if multiple outgoing wires are to be connected to a single incoming wire? Then this method will neither be safe nor be convenient anymore. Here we use terminal blocks.
What is a terminal block?
A terminal block (also called as connection terminal or terminal connector) is a modular block with an insulated frame that secures two or more wires together. It consists of a clamping component and a conducting strip. A typical simplest terminal block is as shown in the image below.

Image Credit: Wikimedia Commons
The insulating body of a terminal block houses a current carrying element (a metal strip or terminal bar). It also provides a base for clamping element. The body has a mounting arrangement so that the block can be easily mounted on or unmounted from a PCB or a mounting rail. Most terminal blocks are usually modular and mounted on DIN rail. That allows us to increase the number of terminals according to the requirements. Terminal blocks keep connections much more secure and wires well organized.
Types of terminal blocks
Electrical terminal blocks can be classified on the basis of structure, device type, termination options etc.
single level pass through or feed through terminal block
Single level pass through terminal block
Structure type
 - Single level pass-through terminal blocks: These are simply used to connect two wires together, i.e. wire-to-wire connection. These are also called as single feed terminal blocks. Single level terminal blocks are of the most simple type having one input contact and one output contact.
 - Dual level terminal blocks: These blocks have another level of connection terminal stacked on the first one. This arrangement is generally used to save space.
 - Three level terminal blocks: Just like dual level blocks, these have an extra level at the top. An advantage of using multilevel blocks is that multiple connections can be made in the same block.

Device type
ground terminal block and fuse terminal block
Image credits:
- Ground terminal blocks
These blocks often look like a single level feed through terminals. The exception is that these blocks and the metal connection where the wire is terminated are grounded to the panel or DIN rail on which the block is mounted.
- Fused connection terminals
These are similar to the pass-through blocks with an exception of the metal connection strip is replaced with a fuse. Therefore, the wires will be connected through a fuse providing an added protection.
- Thermocouple terminal blocks
These are designed to accept thermocouple lead connections. Some thermocouple connectors essentially clamp the thermocouple leads together on both sides of the block, eliminating the metal connection strip inside the block. However, in some thermocouple blocks, the metal connection strip of the same metal as that of the wire may be present.
- I/O blocks and sensor blocks
I/O blocks are used to make a connection between a device and a controller. Whereas, sensor blocks handle three or four wire devices such as proximity sensors.
- Disconnect terminal blocks
These blocks allow wires to be easily disconnected just by lifting a lever or knife switch. They can be used for convenient disconnection and connection without removing the wires. They are also known as switch blocks.
- Power Distribution blocks
These blocks are used in electrical power distribution. An electric power distribution terminal block is a convenient, economical and safer way to distribute power from a single input source to multiple outputs. One large wire is connected to the input terminal of the block and multiple output terminals are provided at the output. This way, wires are well arranged in a control panel giving it a neat, clean and professional look.

Clamping options in terminal blocks
 - Screw terminal: Screw clamp terminals are the most common type of connection method. The wire or conductor is simply pressed against the conductor strip in the block by tightening the screw. Screw terminals accommodate a very wide range of wire or conductor sizes.
 - Spring clamp: These type of terminals use spring pressure to retain the wire clamped. Spring clamps are a newer alternative to screw clamps and are generally used for relatively small wires.

 - Push-in terminal blocks: Push-in terminals allow you to connect a wire simply by inserting it. Most push-in terminals require the use of a ferrule. A ferrule strengthens the end of the wire/conductor. However, some push-in terminal blocks allow to insert a solid conductor directly or a stranded conductor by inserting a screwdriver into the release hole.
 - Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC): These connectors do not require us to strip the insulation for contact. We simply need to insert the wire without stripping the insulation, and the two sharp metal blades inside the terminal will cut through it to the conductor making proper contact.
 - Barrier terminal block: These are used where vibration is an issue. A spade or ring terminal is attached to the wire and then inserted into a bolt and tightened with a nut on the terminal block. This prevents loosening of the wire due to vibrations.


App authorization policy types in SharePoint 2013
apps for SharePoint
Learn about the different authorization policies for apps in SharePoint: app-only policy, user+app policy, and user-only policy. It also provides guidelines for using app-only policy.
Last modified: August 20, 2014
Applies to: apps for SharePoint | Office 365 | SharePoint Add-ins | SharePoint Foundation 2013 | SharePoint Server 2013
Note Note
The name "apps for SharePoint" is changing to "SharePoint Add-ins". During the transition, the documentation and the UI of some SharePoint products and Visual Studio tools might still use the term "apps for SharePoint".

See an example scenario of an app that uses the app-only policy

Learn how apps make app-only calls
Get guidelines for using the app-only policy
Additional resources
Before reading this article, you should first be familiar with the articles App permissions in SharePoint 2013 and Context Token OAuth flow for apps in SharePoint 2013.
SharePoint provides three types of authorization policies:
 - User-only policy— When the user-only policy is used, SharePoint checks only the permissions for the user. SharePoint uses his policy is enforced is when the user is accessing resources directly without using an app. (This policy was always used in SharePoint 2010.)

 - User+app policy—When the user+app policy is used, SharePoint checks the permissions of both the user and the app principal. Authorization checks succeed only if both the current user and the app have permissions to perform the action in question.
 An example of when this policy is used is when an app for SharePoint wants to get access to the user's resources on SharePoint. The code in the remote components of the app for SharePoint should be designed to make user+app calls to SharePoint.

 - App-only policy—When the app-only policy is used, SharePoint checks only the permissions of the app principal. Authorization check succeeds only if the current app has sufficient permissions to perform the action in question, regardless of the permissions of the current user (if any).
 An expense approval app is an example of when this policy is used. The app allows users who wouldn't otherwise be able to approve expenses to approve expenses below a certain amount. See the scenario below for details.
 Note Note
 Certain APIs require a user context and can't be executed with an app-only policy. These include many APIs for interacting with Project Server 2013 and for performing search queries.
See an example scenario of an app that uses the app-only policy
Let's says a sales manager at Contoso, Adam, buys an expense submission app that uses the app-only policy. When Adam chooses to buy the app, Adam is prompted to allow the app to elevate user permissions; that is, to allow the app to make app-only calls to SharePoint. Adam grants the app the requested permission. He then purchases enough licenses for all of the Contoso sales people to use the app, and he installs it in the sales team's central SharePoint site.
Soon, the salespeople are submitting expense reports using the new expense submission app. Salespeople usually cannot approve their own expense reports, but they can do this when using the app because Adam granted it the ability to do this for expense submissions below $50 because he set the app to automatically approve reports below $50. The app is automatically assigns him a task to approve reports of $50 or more. This could be implemented by giving the app for SharePoint Write permission to a SharePoint list of approved expenses. But, among users, only human resources managers have Write permission to the list. The code in the app is designed to make an app-only call to SharePoint, if the expense is less than $50, to add the expense to the list. Since the user's permissions aren't checked, any user's submissions below $50 are automatically added to the approved expenses list, even if the user doesn't have Write permission to the list.
Learn how apps get permission to use the app-only policy
To be able to make app-only calls to SharePoint, your app must request the ability to use the app-only policy in the app manifest. You do this by adding the AllowAppOnlyPolicy attribute to the AppPermissionRequests element and setting it to true as shown in the following markup:
<AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true">
 ...
</AppPermissionRequests>
A user installing the app will be prompted to approve this request. If the app asks for tenant-scoped permissions, then only a tenant administrator can grant use of the app-only policy, so only a tenant administrator can install the app. If the app does not ask for any permissions scoped higher than site collection, then a site collection administrator can install the app. For more information about permission scopes, see App permissions in SharePoint 2013.
Learn how apps make app-only calls
The difference between an app-only call to SharePoint and a user+app call is the tyoe of access token that is included in the call. The following code shows how to make obtain user+app and app-only access tokens in managed code. The detailed coding is done for you in the TokenHelper.cs (or .vb) file that the Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio automatically add to the project in Visual Studio.
string contextTokenString = TokenHelper.GetContextTokenFromRequest(Request);
if (contextTokenString != null)
{
 //Get context token.
 SharePointContextToken contextToken =
 TokenHelper.ReadAndValidateContextToken(contextTokenString, Request.Url.Authority);
 Uri sharepointUrl = new Uri(Request.QueryString["SPHostUrl"]);
 //Get user+app access token.
 string accessToken =
 TokenHelper.GetAccessToken(contextToken, sharepointUrl.Authority).AccessToken;
 ClientContext clientContext =
 TokenHelper.GetClientContextWithAccessToken(sharepointUrl.ToString(), accessToken);
 //Do something.
 ...

 //Get app-only access token.
 string appOnlyAccessToken =
 TokenHelper.GetAppOnlyAccessToken(contextToken.TargetPrincipalName,
 sharepointUrl.Authority, contextToken.Realm).AccessToken;
 //Do something.
 ...
}
NoteNote
Apps that do not make OAuth authenticated calls (for example, apps that are only JavaScript running in the app web) cannot use the app-only policy. They can request the permission, but they will not be able to take advantage of it because doing so requires passing an app-only OAuth token. Only apps with web applications running outside of SharePoint can create and pass app-only tokens.
In general, a current user is required to be present for a call to be made. In the case of app-only policy, SharePoint creates a SHAREPOINT\APP, similar to the existing SHAREPOINT\SYSTEM user. All app-only requests are made by SHAREPOINT\APP. There is no way to authenticate as SHAREPOINT\APP through user-based authentication.
Get guidelines for using the app-only policy
Since app-only calls effectively elevate user privileges, you should be conservative in creating apps that ask for permission to make them. Calls should use the app-only policy only if:
 - The app needs to elevate its permissions above the user for a specific call; for example, to approve an expense report under conditions evaluated by the app.
 - The app is not acting on behalf of any user; for example, an app that performs nightly maintenance tasks on a SharePoint document library.

We here report a rare presentation of bilateral anterior dislocation of shoulder with associated fracture of greater tuberosity in a 38 year old male due to minor trauma which he sustained secondary to hyponatremia induced irritability. There was no associated rotator cuff tear which is often associated with BADS which makes this presentation unique. Unilateral dislocation of shoulder is a common condition which is frequently encountered in emergency trauma department. Anterior dislocation is more common than posterior dislocation. However, simultaneous bilateral shoulder dislocations are usually posterior. Bilateral anterior dislocations with fractures of the greater tuberosity are even rarer and are usually associated with trauma or seizures.

A boy was saw him from outside now boys comes and caught him and takes his home with carefully and mercifully to help them. Boy does necessary treatment free them that bird can fly now. The bird goes and set in the tree and bird opens strip wound around hair and remains open. The birds make their treatment from the sun shining. I reached the point that birds can treatment by self and they have ideas that how to treat their injuries. They make their treat himself and like humans they don't need doctors.

Injured mountain rates protect them gonad of the trees to escape from germs and dust, similarly bear animal protect their injuries by using water and gonad of the trees to prevent from big injuries. According to experts if the bone of "ud ud" bird broken he takes paste in the injured place and after some days plaster is perfectly fine.
When wild animals in injured, they change their place and takes the peaceful place where they takes rest and eats verity of herbs as medicine. Lion and other wild animals when injured or ill leave to eating meat and eats only vegetables and different herbals in the treatment of different diseases which can benefit.
This point teaches us that basic medicine learning gives humans by animals.
Leaves of certain plants, such as after a losing virginity Mongoose snake venom which is capable of decoupling, When your children on rainy days (to protect it from weather conditions) find grass and fodder, Monkey 'soon' diseases have been seen eating neem leaves are broken off.
When wild animals are suffering from fever is people land at a place that not only shade but also clean the air and water is near. To reduce fever or fever to break some not eat, drink only water. Similar joint or muscle pains the animals that reside in a place where the sun light directly affects.
At last the old bear and other animal's find the hot springs and the baths are regularly go there. Lice or flea dirt animals in case they are seen at the lutnyan. This process, bath Khaki 'hyn.mahryn could also correspond to the observation of animal foods change with seasonal changes.
Injured when part of a zero chance of recovery if the doctor was forced to cut it so that other body parts are protected from risk, Will surely surprise you to know that animals are of the last treatment. If they are dealing with a situation irreversible organ are isolated from the body in different ways.

Role Play Worlds is a free to play, massive multiplayer online role play game. Built by the people of the community who are also the role players, and led and directed by the RPW Core in order to keep the organization and themes in line and for future expansion.
RPW Residents, is a term used to identify the active users that make use of the virtual world, they usually explore the lands on their own or join groups defined by a specific role depending on the theme, for example: Example City Warrior, where the role is to protect the city against other group attacks or make use of the weapons into a political dispute.
The world is divided by themes, called Realms, to suit the residents interest, so if a group decide to start an American Wild West theme, for example, they can purchase a virtual land (See Virtual Lands) and build over it, while other users can get another plot of land and place it near it and expand it and so on. This way each theme is self-developed by the same community. At this moment, the most active theme is the Gorean one (from the books of John Norman) a General Fantasy one and emerging futuristic themes like Star Trek.
Role Play Worlds makes use of an "in game" economy system based on PayPal. Each resident avatar is linked to a user specified email address that's used for the PayPal transaction. Any user can create an object inside the game, or design it on a professional 3D modeling software like Maya, etc, and sell it inside the game for other users to use it. Basically the system works as a shopping cart, when the buyer buys from the creator, the system reads the creator's email and sends the buyer to PayPal to place a payment to the creator's avatar email address for that article, and once the payment is done, Paypal sends a message back to the game with the success or failed information, and the system delivers the item to the buyer if successful.

Ethylene Removal and Shelf Life Extension
Another trial completed proving that our machines remove Ethylene, if you can remove Ethylene, you can extend shelf life.
Ethylene removal is extremely important in extending shelf life because it's Ethylene which acts as a natural ripening (or "aging") hormone, the release of Ethylene into a storage environment is what causes fresh produce, fruits, flowers and many other plants to deteriorate.

Need to autogenerate approach for documenting what we can do with this. Until then, simple reference.
Instantiates a supported matrix type:
 - lisp/foreign
 - single/double/complex-single/complex-double/integer
 - (TODO: need to consider normal or mmap'd structures as well)
by:
(make-matrix )
right now, we are being numerical analysts, and only allow for a single modality, i.e. lisp-integer, foriegn-doubleFloat, etc.
A different package, based on this, should manage mixed-data type typed matrices/arrays.
Referencing elements is done using the xarray system, so that needs to be a dependency of this. (one can use the native system, but it would be so much better to have a uniform table-access and manipulation API, xarray or grid or affi or…)
(xref mat x y
 :return-as 'matrix) ; for a single mat[x,y] value
(xref mat
 (rows x1 x2 x3)
 (columns y1 y2 y3)) ; for a 3x3 matrix restricted
 ; to the appropriate rows and
 ; columns. A better approach
 ; might be to use a
 ; cross-product API, or
 ; serial-list-then-row-or-column-major-fill-to-spec-d-format
(xref mat
 (except-for-rows x1 x2 x3)
 (except-for-columns x1 x2 x3))
;; 1-d 1x4 array
(xref mat
 (shaped-return (list (list x1 y1) (list x2 y2) (list x3 y3) (list x4 y4))))
;; 2-d 2x2 array
(xref mat
 (shaped-return (list (list (list x1 y1) (list x2 y2))
 (list (list x3 y3) (list x4 y4)))))
And then there is the older stuff.
(mref mat x y) get/set
(bind2 mat1 mat2 :by [:row|:column] )
(diagonal mat)
(m* mat1 mat2) => selection of the correct ZYYmm type (gemm for general mat mult)
(m+ mat1 mat2)
(m- mat1 mat3)
(axpy a mat1 mat2) => (scalar * matrix) + matrix
which we need to consider, perhaps through some sort of macro package?

To assess the potential for wind energy over the region, we use the Weather and Research Forecasting model (WRFV3.7) coupled to a 1-Dimensional lake model. Seto et al.(2012) land cover projections for the year 2030 were used for the sensitivity. Simulations were conducted for different years, that is 2009, which was a climatological year, 2006 an extremely wet year and 2010 a dry year.
With the current land cover the wind speeds show that Kenya and Tanzania have a high potential in wind energy. Some parts of Uganda also show high potential in wind energy. Different resolutions show different wind speeds, with the coarser resolution missing some regions that have high wind speed. No major differences were obtained by looking at different years. The highest wind speeds occur in the early hours of the day and in the evening. The probability of getting wind speeds greater than 3.5 m/s, the typical cut-in speed for a small turbine to start generating power is greater than 60%. Using future projected land cover, we find that the wind speed over the urbanized region changes slightly with some urbanized regions having slightly higher wind speeds. Further analysis on why wind speeds increase will be done. In conclusion East Africa has the potential to expand their wind power energy and urbanization has an effect on the wind power energy production.


A cute and amazing video. A parrot masters «to talk» like a cat in order to live in a house with many cats
It is well known that parrots have the ability to imitate the sounds of different animals. Parrots master not only imitating human language but also in order to survive they learn to make the sounds of different animals.
Here is funny story about a parrot that learnt the language of cats. The parrot leart to meow and feel like cats.
The cockatoo has been living and spending much time with cats since the time he was born. He had no other choice to learn the «foreign language». The scene was captured by the owner of the parrot.
The cat even showed his skills of talking like a cat. The cats were looking at the cockatoo with astonishment. The cats could not believe their eyes.
The parrot demostrated the language of cats perfectly. The cockatoo is a polyglot. The parrot is so smart that he knows not only the language of cats but also their behaviour.
Here is the cute video:
Share the story with your family members and friends.

Blood relations and kinship were not all-important for the way hunter-gatherer communities lived during the Stone Age in Western Europe. A new genetic study, conducted at several well-known French Stone Age burial sites, shows that several distinct families lived together. This was probably a deliberate system for avoiding inbreeding.
These findings are revealed in a new study led by researchers from Uppsala University in collaboration with several French institutions. The study is published in the journal PNAS.
In the study, the researchers have succeeded in obtaining biomolecular data from human skeletons buried at iconic sites in France, such as Téviec and Hoedic in Brittany, as well as Champigny. The remains were dated to the very last stages of the Mesolithic (approximately 6,700 years ago), when the last Western European hunter-gatherers lived, overlapping with the Neolithic, when settled farmers took over.

Let $(X,L)$ be a polarized abelian variety over $k=\overline{k}$, and let $K(L)$ be the kernel of the isogeny $X\to X^\vee$ that sends $x$ to $t_x^*L\otimes L^{-1}$. The theta group $\mathscr{G}(L)$ of $(X,L)$ is a central extension $$0\to k^\times\to\mathscr{G}(L)\to K(L)\to0.$$ Now, $\mathscr{G}(L)$ acts on $H^0(X,L)$, and we get an irreducible representation $$\mathscr{G}(L)\to \mbox{GL}(H^0(X,L)),$$ which can be seen to descend to a projective representation $K(L)\to\mbox{PGL}(h^0(L)-1,k)$. The nice thing about this projective representation is that, if $\varphi:X\to\mathbb{P}^{h^0(L)-1}$ is the map associated to $|L|$, then for all $z\in K(L)$ and $x\in X$, we have that $z\cdot\varphi(x)=\varphi(x+z)$. Using this, it is easily verified that $\mbox{span}\{\varphi(K(L))\}$ is all $\mathbb{P}^{h^0(L)-1}$.
We have that $K(L)=K_1\oplus K_2$, where $K_2$ is the symplectic complement to $K_1$ using the Weil pairing.
My question is the following: Is it true that the projective representation restricted to $K_1$ (or $K_2$) is also irreducible? Put into other terms, is the linear span of $\varphi(K_1)$ all of $\mathbb{P}^{h^0(L)-1}$?

I think the answer is no due to the following counterexample (there might be a mistake somewhere though):
Take an elliptic curve $X$ with $L = O_X(3P_0)$ (characteristic $\neq 2, 3$), then $K$ will be the $3$-torsion subgroup and $K_1$ will be generated by a $3$-torsion point $P$. Then in the embedding by $|L|$ of $X$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$, the points $P$, $-P$ and $P_0$ are collinear, that is, $K_1$ is mapped to a lower-dimensional linear subspace.

Yes, you're right. Great example. Thanks! – rfauffar Feb 8 '13 at 4:09
If I understand correctly, $K_1$ and $K_2$ are (mutually orthogonal maximal) isotropic subgroups of $K(L)$. Therefore they both can be lifted (non-canonically) to (finite) commutative (sic!) subgroups of the theta group. In particular, the restriction of the projective representation of $K(L)$ to $K_i$ is actually a projectivization of a certain linear representation of finite commutative $K_i$ in $H^0(X,L)$. Since a linear representation of such groups is irreducible if and only if it is one-dimensional, we get a negative answer to your question (unless $H^0(X,L)$ has dimension 1, i.e. $L$ defines a principal polarization).
share|cite|improve this answer
Now, I'm not asking necessarily when the linear representation of $K_i$ es irreducible (since by what you said, $L$ would have to be a principal polarization), but when the projective representation is irreducible; i.e., the group doesn't fix any projective linear space of $\mathbb{P}H^0(L)$... – rfauffar Feb 10 '13 at 4:04
The answer is the same: iff the polarization is principal. If it is not principal then one may take the projectivization $P(W)$ of any proper nonzero $K_i$-invariant vector subspace $W$ of $H^0(X,L)$; this $P(W)$ is $K_i$-stable. – Yuri Zarhin Feb 15 '13 at 17:07

Condition Monitoring Requirements for the Development of a Space Nuclear Propulsion Module 931363
To facilitate the development of a space nuclear propulsion module for manned flights to Mars, requirements must be established early in the technology development cycle. The long lead times for the acquisition of the engine system and nuclear test facilities demands that the engine system, size, performance, safety goals and condition monitoring philosophy be defined at the earliest possible time. These systems are highly complex and require a large multi-disciplinary systems engineering team to develop and track the requirements and to ensure that the as-built system reflects the intent of the mission. An effective methodology has been devised coupled with sophisticated computer tools to effectively develop and interpret the functional requirements. These requirements then can be decomposed down to the specification level for implementation. This paper discusses the application of the methodology and the analyses to develop condition monitoring requirements under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Lewis Research Center (LeRC) Nuclear Propulsion Office (NPO).

Motility, fertility and ultrastructural changes of...
|Title||Motility, fertility and ultrastructural changes of ocean pout (Macrozoarces americanus L.) sperm after cryopreservation|
|Author(s)||Z. Yao, L. W. Crim, Gavin F. Richardson, C. J. Emerson|
|Abstract||The possibility of long term storage, by cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen, of spermatozoa of ocean pout (Zoarces americanus) and the changes in motility, fertility and ultrastructure of the spermatozoa after freezing and thawing were examined. Four cryoprotectants, including DMSO, and 3 semen diluents (A, B and C) were tested for their influence on sperm motility. Since fresh spermatozoa displayed the highest motility in diluent C, which had the closest chemical composition to that of the seminal plasma of ocean pout this solution with DMSO (C-DMSO) was chosen as a diluent for ocean pout semen cryopreservation. Fresh semen was diluted in 3 volumes of C-DMSO, transferred into 0.25- or 1.7-ml straws, then frozen in liquid nitrogen vapour. When the internal temperature of the straws had dropped to -95 degrees C, the straws were plunged into liquid nitrogen. The frozen semen was thawed in a water bath at 1 or 30 degrees for 30 and 7 s respectively. The presence of DMSO in semen extender was essential for protecting the spermatozoa and 20% DMSO (v/v) yielded the highest post-thaw sperm motility (20-25% of the total cells). An average freezing rate of 9 degrees /min during the initial freezing phase (in liquid nitrogen vapour) resulted in higher post-thawed sperm motility than faster (18 degrees /min) and slower (6 degrees /min) freezing rates. Thawing frozen semen in water at 30 or 1 degrees did not cause any difference in terms of sperm motility. It is suggested that the loss of sperm motility during freezing and thawing is due to ultrastructural changes in spermatozoa (severe swelling of the mitochondria or dehydration of cytoplasm at the midpiece) which were detected by scanning electron microscopy. In vitro AI of fresh ova using thawed semen yielded a fertilization rate of 33% compared with 48-58% from fresh semen..|

Getting started with SaxonJ
Saxon doesn't come with a graphical user interface: it's a library designed to be integrated into other tools and applications. You will therefore start by using it from the operating system command line.
Alternatively, Saxon is integrated with popular XML development environments such as Oxygen XML Editor and Stylus Studio, which will handle all the installation dependencies.
 1. Ensure that Java is installed. SaxonJ 11 requires Java 8 or later. If for some reason you need to run with an earlier Java release, SaxonJ 9.8 ran with Java SE 6 or later. To check that Java is installed, try typing java -version at the command prompt. If it is not installed, you can get the software from Oracle.
 2. Download the Saxon software. You will typically start with the open-source version SaxonJ-HE which you can download:
 Alternatively, the commercial versions of the product (SaxonJ-PE and SaxonJ-EE) can be downloaded from _URL_.
 Because the software is pure Java, the same software us used whether you are running on Windows, Linux, or Mac OS/X.
 3. The software comes as a zip file. Unzip it into a suitable directory, for example c:\saxon.
 4. To check that the software is working, try running a simple query from the command line, as follows. The filename after the "-cp" flag should match the location where you installed the software. The file will be called saxon-he-11.1.jar for Saxon Home Edition, saxon-pe-11.1.jar for the Professional Edition, or saxon-ee-11.1.jar for the Enterprise Edition (where the "11.1" in the name will change to "11.2", "11.3", etc. in subsequent maintenance releases):
 java -cp c:\saxon\saxon-he-11.1.jar net.sf.saxon.Query -t -qs:"current-date()"
 Here:
 - java tells the operating system to run the Java virtual machine
 - the filename after -cp is known as the classpath, and tells Java where to find the Saxon application software
 - net.sf.saxon.Query is the Saxon entry point for the XQuery processor
 - the option -t tells Saxon to report what it is doing on the console
 - the option -qs:"current-date()" tells Saxon to run the simple query current-date(), which returns the current date and displays the result on the console.
 If this doesn't work, there are three possible reasons: the operating system can't find the Java software; Java can't find the Saxon software; or Saxon has been invoked, but has failed to run your query. The error message should give you a clue which of these is the case.
 5. As a first-time user, you may find it useful to install the sample applications. These are packaged together with a copy of this documentation in the file saxon-resources-11.zip. This can be downloaded from either the SourceForge or Saxonica sites (it is the same file in both cases). Unzip the contents of this file into the same directory as the Saxon software. When you run a program that uses Saxon, this program as well as Saxon itself will need to be on the classpath. For more details of the classpath, see Installing (Java).
 6. You might also like to experiment with the Gizmo tool. This is a simple interactive command-line application allowing you to display, search, and modify XML files from a terminal, as well as to invoke XSD validation and XSLT transformations. It is a useful testbed for trying out XPath expressions, or for examining the structure of unfamiliar XML documents.
 7. If you are using features specific to SaxonJ-PE or SaxonJ-EE (the commercial editions of Saxon), you will need to obtain a file containing a licence key. You can apply for a free 30-day evaluation license key by going to _URL_ and clicking on "Download / Evaluation License". The license key file will be sent by email within 24 hours. This file, called saxon-license.lic, is best placed in the same directory where the file saxon-pe-11.#.jar or saxon-ee-11.#.jar is found. When running Saxon from the command line, it not usually necessary for the directory containing the license file to be on the classpath. For more details on Saxon license keys, see the Saxon licenses section.
You can now run one of the sample stylesheets or queries that comes with the saxon-resources download. Assuming you installed Saxon-HE into c:\saxon, make this your current directory, and type:
for XSLT (all on one line):
java -cp saxon-he-11.1.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform -t -s:samples\data\books.xml -xsl:samples\styles\books.xsl -o:c:\temp.html
for XQuery (all on one line):
java -cp saxon-he-11.1.jar net.sf.saxon.Query -t -s:samples\data\books.xml -q:samples\query\books-to-html.xq -o:c:\temp.html
Now open c:\temp.html in your browser to check that it worked.

Some quantities, such as Velocity, can be generated automatically in cylindrical components by CFX-Post from the Turbo tab. For other vector quantities, such as Vorticity, you can create the expressions and new variables manually. Using Vorticity as an example the expressions are:
LIBRARY:
CEL:
EXPRESSIONS:
theta = atan2(y, x)
VorticityAxial = Vorticity Z
VorticityRadial = cos(theta) * Vorticity X + sin(theta) * Vorticity Y
VorticityTheta = -sin(theta) * Vorticity X + cos(theta) * Vorticity Y
END
END
END
You can then create new variables based on these expressions.

Maui Solar Project Installs Solar at The Maui Farm
Maui Solar Project recently installed 20 kW of solar panels on the campus of The Maui Farm, a local nonprofit organization.
The Maui Farm, founded in 1985, provides farm-based, family-centered residential and educational programs that teach essential life skills for self-sufficient living.
The addition of the PV to four homes and The Maui Farm's administrative office will save the organization an estimated $200,000 over the next 20 years.
"The Maui Farm continues efforts to streamline our operating expenses to ensure the most efficient use of public and private resources in our work with homeless families and the community," said Executive Director Paula Ambre. "We are most grateful to Maui Solar Project for making our most recent initiative, the installation of photovoltaic energy systems, an affordable reality for our nonprofit organization."
To arrange financing, often the biggest challenge for nonprofits wanting to transition to solar, The Maui Farm worked with MSP to do an in-house power purchase agreement benefitting both organizations.
"The Maui Farm promotes sustainable agricultural practices, environmental stewardship and healthy living," said MSP Vice President of Operations Emily Erickson, who sits on the Board of directors for The Maui Farm. "With the addition of photovoltaic energy on their campus, The Maui Farm can teach children, families and community members about PV and depending less on fossil fuels. PV provides an educational tool as well as a great savings for the agency's budget."
MSP installed 100 Hyundai 280 watt panels with Enphase Micro-Inverters on Uni-Rac Racking.
Kahului-based Maui Solar Project is a locally owned and operated company founded in 2008 by Edmond Alberton and Josh Porter. MSP is committed to supporting the local community and advocating for cleaner energy on our islands. On O'ahu, MSP's sister company, HI Solar Battery, focuses on off-grid and self-supply systems.
MSP is a member of the GEMS Financing Program. a partnership between the Hawai'i State Energy Office and the Hawai'i Green Infrastructure Authority that makes clean energy improvements more affordable and accessible to Hawaii consumers. Through the program, MSP offers commercial and nonprofit loans as well as residential loans.
