Latest release of socket server code
The latest release of the free version of my asynchronous, windows, IOCP based, socket server framework can now be obtained from here at
The latest release is really just a bug fix and compiler compatability release. The code now supports Visual Studio 2005 (as well as VC6, Visual Studio.Net (2002) and Visual Studio 2003). I've fixed the memory leak bugs that were present in the ThreadPoolLargePacketEchoServer sample and worked around the iostream leak that's present in the Visual Studio 2005 version of STL. I've also included a set of build configurations for the basic echo server that builds the system with STLPort rather than the standard Visual Studio STL.
The bug fixes are reported here. Please note that this version of the code still suffers from poor handling of low resource issues; see here for the kind of things that could leave you with an unresponsive server.
I expect that this will be the last release of the free code. Though, I expected that last time too ;)
The example servers are as follows:
 - EchoServer - the basic example server that simply echoes back the data it receives.
 - PacketEchoServer - a server that echoes back complete packets, each packet starts with a length indicator. This is slightly more "real world" as many protocols have a header that indicates the length of the packet that follows.
 - SimpleProtocolServer - a server that operates on variable length packets that are terminated with a \r\n sequence. This is the other common way to determine how much data the client is sending in one "command". Things like SMTP and POP3 use this style of protocol.
 - SimpleProtocolServer2 - a version of the SimpleProtocolServer above that uses a separate thread pool to actually process the requests. This is potentially useful if the requests will block (such as requests to a database, perhaps). If you have X IO threads and all of them are engaged in a blocking activity at once then your communications subsystem stops responding! This server architecture avoids that problem by passing complete command packets to another thread pool via an in process FIFO queue so that the blocking operations do not adversly affect the communications subsystem.
 - ThreadPoolLargePacketEchoServer - a really contrived example that I've only ever used to demonstrate some theory. This server is a packet echo server that runs the communications subsystem with a small buffer size and yet requires that the server only echo packets that do not fit completely in the small buffer size. This means that the server copies data from the IO buffers into "transfer buffers" that it then passes to another thread pool to echo. I've never found a use for this architecture but it might be useful if your protocol uses buffers that are 99% one size and occasionally bigger...
I recommend using the simplest server architecture that you can. That means you're probably looking for something based on either the second or third example. If you access a database or other slow, blocking, non async device then you should probably use a variation on server four. If you think you really need to use the fifth server as a base get in touch and I'll talk you out of it ;)
Due to how I have my CVS repository structured and how I like to work on servers in isolation (I sometimes work on multiple servers at once and like to build/rebuild them without affecting other work in progress), each server has its own copy of the "tools" library.
Please report any bugs that you may find via email.
You probably need the platform SDK to build the code. See disclaimers on the previous release and on the original code project articles for more details.
If you need more than this free code provides then take a look at the rest of for details of The Server Framework a licensed and fully supported high performance server framework.

There seems to be some wierdness with the new implementation of ToString() on VC6. Will post a fix when I have one.
The wierdness was me ;) The new version of ToString() used std::wostringstream for the wide character version whereas the original code used the narrow version and then converted the result. There's a good reason for doing it the old way... Since on VC6 (and optionally on later compilers) wchar_t is, in fact, unsigned short the wide streams can't stream an unsigned short as they assume it's a string...
Hi Len,
I was testing various completion port based server solutions and finally I decided to play longer with your solution. I am really impressed with the quality and usability of your JetByte server tools.
I found a small problem trying to use "". The compiler complains that it cannot find "CStringConverter::AtoW" when building unicode version of SimpleProtocolServer2. Is the CStringConverter class a standard one?
Thanks for the compliment.
I'll check the build, I adjusted a couple of includes at the last minute due to the ToString() changes and I expect it's a precompiled header issue.
I've fixed that problem and uploaded a new zip file. There were two missing files (for the CStringConverter class). This came about because I first fixed the VS2005 ToString() leak in this code and then ported it to my latest libraries, they don't use USES_CONVERSION as it's evil ;). I added some tests to the new code and found the unsigned short issue with the new code so I fixed the bug in the new lib and then ported the code back to the old socket server codebase. Looks like I didn't try a compile before I shipped it! Unusual for me to be this slack but I've had a bit of a week.
Hi Len,
thanks for the wonderful code. I'm (re)using your framework and it works great. One thing that i'm trying to achieve is to introduce priority queues in the framework so I can provide a prioritized service depending on a type of the message. Would you have any suggestion what approach to take. I would really appreciate your thoughts.
best regrads.
I dont have a priority queue class. I guess I'd probably build one using an std::list of std::lists of items a critical section to make it thread safe and a semaphore to allow me to wait on it having entries...
Once you have that working then you could replace the IOCP between the IO threads and the "business logic" threads with your priority queue and you're done...
Hi Len,
This library looks terrific. You mention that we can pay a fee to subscribe to get the latest version. What is the fee and how do we subscribe? I don't see your e-mail address on here anywhere.
Contact details are on the main page, on the right, under links...
I've emailed you details.
First of all, your great solution.
In this version, When the client's socket is disconnected,
CThreadPoolWorkerThread::OnConnectionClosing function is called. But sometimes is not called.
Is something wrong?
Also CThreadPoolWorkerThread::OnConnectionClosed function is not implemented.
If I want to call OnConnectionClosed, how do I?
For example, I customized the code like below.
Is right? :(
enum DispatchEvents
ConnectionClosed, // added
bool CSocketServer::OnConnectionClosed( Socket *pSocket)
return true;
// added new func
void CThreadPool::DispatchConnectionClosed(
Socket *pSocket)
DoDispatch(pSocket, 0, ConnectionClosed);
sorry for my english.
OnConnectionClosing() is called if the server initiates the socket closure, you should also handle OnConnectionClientClose() to deal with situations where the client closes the connection and OnConnectionReset() for errors, etc.
OnConnectionClosed() is called once the socket itself has been closed, this may be in response to an explicit call to Close() from the server code or due to the reference count on the socket reaching 0.
Hi Len
I would like to implement a server containing both the broadcast server and the tcpserver handling multiple connections, do I need to create one iocp handle for both or just use one iocp handle for each?
I dont understand the question... Are you using my source code? If so I assume you're asking if you can create one instance of the IOPool and share that between servers? If so, then yes, see the EchoServer example code for details.
Hi Len,
Suppose I have to connect() to some other tcp based servers in parallel with running your tcp server. Can i connect() to the any remote server and add my socket to the iocp handle to participate in iocp events for WSARecv() and WSASend() completion events for those sockets? If yes, how to do this?
Yes, all of the new servers allow outbound connections and they share the iocp, io threads, socket and buffer pools with any inbound connections

Tel Aviv, Israel: Most Israeli pain specialists with an opinion on the issue believe that cannabis is a safe and effective analgesic agent, according to survey data published in the Journal of Pain Research.
Investigators surveyed the opinions of over half of all practicing pain clinicians in Israel. The Israeli government has regulated the prescription use of cannabis for much of the past decade.
Authors reported that virtually all of the survey's respondents prescribed cannabis to their patients, and that 56 percent of them reported the substance to possess "mild or no" adverse side effects. Forty-five percent of those surveyed stated that "they themselves would prefer to be treated with cannabis rather than opiates in case of chronic pain."
Authors concluded: "In the current survey, which probed the attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, and collected experience of pain specialists using cannabis in their daily practice, cannabis emerges as an effective treatment option for many patients with chronic pain who have failed previous treatments. Moreover, their responses arguably present a possible change of paradigm and the possibility to consider cannabis earlier in the course of the disease, and not as a last resort."
According to a 2017 literature review conducted by the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, there exists "conclusive or substantial" clinical evidence that cannabis is "effective for the treatment [of] chronic pain."

One of the essential steps in choosing a suitable industrial air dryer is to test wet materials on the drying equipment. This ensures that the final product is dry and of the quality you want. However, before the testing starts, here are six things to consider when choosing the drying system.
Size And Density
The drying machine's size and capacity depend on the size and weight of the things that need to be dried. For example, drying more minor things is different from drying bigger things. As important as size is, the density of the material is also essential. How the material moves through the dryer is based on how dense it is. Denser materials need different machines than less dense ones.
When choosing industrial air dryers, you should also consider how wet clothes are handled. Sticky or sloppy things are often forced into the dryer so they are not stuck in the line. If the company works with sticky materials, the engineer could choose drying machines with non-stick surfaces or paddles to keep the materials moving.
The roughness and fragility of the material are also things to think about. If the company wants to dry fragile things, it should not use drying equipment that moves things around roughly. Instead, it could use a machine that moves things more gently. On the other hand, if the dried materials are rough, the company could choose drying machines that can handle rough materials to avoid problems with maintenance or damage.
Reaction To Heat
Some things change when they get hot, and when they get to a specific temperature, they might do something. If the machine is drying a chemical solution, it could cause a chemical reaction.
In addition, if some materials are left near specific heat sources for a long time, they could melt or catch fire. Therefore, the dryer could go slower or be more considerable to help bring down the temperature. If the company works with things that are likely to melt, it could choose a dryer with a high temperature and a short time on the job to avoid a possible reaction to the product.
Efficiency And Cost
Cost is an essential part of every big purchase. When buying the machine, the company will consider the cost and the cost of running it. However, the upfront cost should not be the only thing you look at when deciding if a dryer is a good deal or not. Some machines may cost less upfront, but if they do not work well, they will cost more in the long run. And it's essential to think about what kind of fuel the machine runs on.
Lastly, the size of the industrial air dryers should match the amount of work that will be done. It is essential to consider whether the dryer will run all the time or in batches. If the company has big jobs that need a lot of output, using a dryer that is too small will cause it to get clogged, and the operation could stop because the machine will be too busy. On top of that, the dryer could burn out sooner than expected. On the other hand, energy will be wasted if a too-big dryer is chosen. It could also burn the food or make it dry out too much.

Product Review: Undelete(r) 3
 - June 25, 2003
 - By Tom Cannaerts
 - Send Email »
 - More Articles »
In brief
As the name implies, Undelete, from Executive Software® is a utility the can undelete deleted files. It can do so in various ways, giving you a better protection than most simular tools.
The Recovery Bin
You can install UnDelete as a Windows service. By doing this, it will replace the standard Recycling bin with it's own Recovery Bin. When a file is deleted, the file is transfered to the Recovery Bin. A key difference between this and the standard recycle bin is that this will also capture files deleted from across the network. If a user accidently deletes a file on the server, it can be found in the Recovery Bin.
Recovery bin
Click here for larger image
The Recovery Bin itself is easy to use. As you can see, it has a treeview containing the structure of your system. You can easely navigate to the folder the file was deleted from, and then recover the file with just a few clicks. The Recovery Bin can also hold multiple versions of the file, in case you have deleted a file at the same location multiple times.
To avoid your system running full with deleted files, you are able to set a size limit for each drive, and what action should be taken when it is reached, Eg, setting the bin to automatically purge when it's full will result in the oldest files (those who have been in the bin the longest) being deleted automatically until the file(s) fit the bin.
Recovery bin actions Recovery bin limits
Another feature of the Recovery Bin is that it includes search functionality, allowing you to find a file if you don't know it's exact location. This also include the ability to search for files deleted by a specific user, or at a specific time.

Undelete from Disk
The Recovery Bin allows you to manually (or automatically) delete files from the bin. However, if you deleted a file from the bin, you can still recover it using Undelete from disk, given that the file hasn't been overwritten by the Recovery Bin.
Emergency Undelete®
This allows you to recover files on systems that don't have UnDelete installed. It can run almost completely from CD (except for some registry keys), thus making the chances of a recovery larger since there is only a little disk access. It will scan the drive for lost files, in a way most undelete programs do. To be honest, I was very amazed when I ran it on our server, looking at the number of files it was able to recover.
Emergency Undelete
Click here for larger image
Finally, there's somewhat of a contradiction here, since it also comes with a program called SecureDelete. While UnDelete will try to recover deleted files, SecureDelete enables you to delete files in such a manner that they can't be recovered, not even using Emergency Undelete. This can give you the privacy/security required in some situations, like when you decide to sell or dispose your hardware.
Undelete (and the accompanied programs) are good at what they do, and have earned their spot in the market. But what can it do for us developers? Well, it depends on how you work. Undelete can't compete with (let alone replace) sourcecode/version-control programs like SourceSafe and others. This is mainly because it captures deleted files, not the changes to files. However, as even the most skilled computer users (including us developers) can make mistakes, unwanted deletions can happen very fast. In the case that you aren't using version-control software (often with smaller, single developer projects), this would mean you would probably have to go back to the latest backup, and potentially lose a day's work.
As a developer, I would stick to my regular version control program, but as a system administrator, this tool can be well worth the money to the last cent, being a great addition to already existing backup solutions.

What does Tiger's Eye do?
Is lava rock good for fish tanks?
If you want the plants and fish in your aquarium to live in a healthy environment, lava rocks are a great idea. Lava rocks are covered by holes and pores that have beneficial bacteria, which is called denitrifying bacteria. These bacteria can help in keeping normal nitrogen cycles in your aquarium.
How can you tell if lava rock beads are fake?
Real lava beads should look spongy, ceramic ring-like, and with a rough texture. They should be lightweight and red, red, brown, or black in color. They also should not fade during the cleaning process. They should not burn, melt, shatter, or have an unusual odor.
Are lava rocks strong?
It was shiny, hard and heavy. Lava rock, for landscaping, is foamed obsidian. The gasses released in the volcanic eruption penetrated the lava, but did not escape before the lava cooled, leaving air pockets behind.
What side of your body do you wear crystals?
leftThe left side of your body deals with your internal self and controls stresses from your outside environment. Wear your Crystal Bracelet on the left side if you want to receive its healing energy and internal benefit.

Do not wear your Lava Stone Bracelet in the Bath or Shower they should be removed prior to bathing or showering.
Can lava stone get wet?
Answer: Hello, if it gets wet it will not effect the lava beads at all, the central bead you may want to pat dry once out of the water.
Is lava stone expensive?
How much do lava stone countertops cost? Lava stone's biggest deterrent is its price. At $250 to $350 per square foot, it's one of the most expensive countertop materials around, comparable to, or even exceeding, high-end marble.
Do lava stones really work?
Lava stones and the chakra Many users of lava stone believe it grounds and stabilizes the root chakra because of the stone's strong connection with the earth. When the root chakra is stabilized, the body and mind will feel positive, safe and anchored to the earth.
Does lava stone have healing properties?
Known for its grounding and calming healing properties, lava stone is great for stabilizing the root chakra. When the root chakra is stabilized, you feel safe, anchored and more positive.
How long do lava beads last?
2-3 daysThe lava beads are black or brown (if you ordered a bracelet with natural brown lava). They are porous with "craters" on them. You can drop one drop of oil on each bead (a little goes a long way, so you only have to put them on a couple of the beads) and it will last 2-3 days.
Do Chakra bracelets help anxiety?
Stone and Crystal Bracelet for Anxiety. Certain crystals and stones are seen as anxiety antidote since ancient times. They believed to offer a calming effect which assists in alleviating emotional disorders. Blue Agate is believed to be among the strongest crystal for stress and anxiety relief.
What do lava rocks do spiritually?
Will lava rock affect pH?
The lava rock is red due to the iron in it. It has no calcuim so it will have no affect on your ph.

Planning algorithm for training cosmonauts in ISS
We consider the problem of trainings planning on ISS. Shown that the problem is a combination of a k Partition Problem and an Assignment Problem. NP-compleeteness is proofed. A heuristic and an exact algorithms are proposed.
We consider the problem of planning the ISS cosmonaut training with different objectives. A pre-defined set of minimum qualification levels should be distributed between the crew members with minimum training time differences, training expenses or a maximum of the training level with a limitation of the budget. First, a description of the cosmonaut training process is given. The model are considered for the volume planning problem. The objective of the model is to minimize the differences between the total time of the preparation of all crew members. Then two models are considered for the timetabling planning problem. For the volume planning problem, two algorithms are presented. The first one is aheuristic with a complexity of O(n) operations. The second one consists of a heuristic and exact parts, and it is based on the npartition problem approach.
The central question that motives this paper is the problem of making up a freight train and the routes on the railway. It is necessary from the set of orders available at the stations to determine time-scheduling and destination routing by railways in order to minimize the total completion time. In this paper it was suggested formulation of this problem by applying integer programming.
We consider the problem of planning the cousmonaut's time in ISS with given set of tasks, time planning horizon and load constraints. Shown that the problem is NP-hard in a strong sense. The heuristic algorithm was proposed. Proved that proposed algorithm is exact for problem with requirement of performing all tasks. Program C++ was written and algorithm's work was qualitatively analyzed.
In this article, the fairdivision problem for two participants in the presence of both divisible and indivisibleitems is considered. Three interrelated modifications of the notion of fairdivision–profitably, uniformly and equitably fairdivisions–were introduced. Computationally efficient algorithm for finding all of them was designed. The algorithm includes repetitive solutions of integer knapsack-type problems as its essential steps. The necessary and sufficient conditions of the existence of proportional and equitable division were found. The statements of the article are illustrated by various examples.
In this paper, we will show that the width of simplices defined by systems of linear inequalities can be computed in polynomial time if some minors of their constraint matrices are bounded. Additionally, we present some quasi-polynomial-time and polynomial-time algorithms to solve the integer linear optimization problem defined on simplices minus all their integer vertices assuming that some minors of the constraint matrices of the simplices are bounded.


Top 10 cult groups in Nigerian Universities, their Motto and Symbols – #1 and #2 are are the deadliest
Top 10 cult groups in Nigerian Universities: Why are cults so popular among the youths nowadays? What are the main types of cultism in Nigeria and what symbols do they have? Let's look through the essence of each of them! It is possible that lot of people don't even know that there is a list of cults in Nigeria, which usually thrive at universities and even outside of campus. The main reasons of why some people become members of such movements are the lust for the power, riches, and prestigious status in the society.
What is cultism?
According to the Oxford Dictionary, cultism can be described as a religious or social group whose beliefs are secret, individualistic, and esoteric. Actually, cultism involves carrying out some ritualistic practices. Usually, cultists share some common objectives and ideas. So, they are unknown to the society and also, some cult leaders' true intentions are unknown even to the members of the particular cult. So, let's summarize the main characteristics of cultism:
1) it is a spiritual or religious practice;
2) it is a secret practice;
3) it is practiced by a group of individuals;
4) its policies are unknown to the general public;
5) it has an impact on the lives of the individuals;
6) it's people have a common value.
The first cultism movement in Nigeria was called "Pyrates". It was founded in 1952 by Nobel Prize winning author Wole Soyinka and his friends. Later they were called "Sea Dogs". After some time, another kind of community was created. These are what we known today as "secret cults".
Types of cultism in Nigeria and their symbols
So, let's look through the main types of cultism in Nigeria and their symbols. Some Nigerian confraternities do not hide their symbols, while others keep them in secret and only members of that cult know what they are.
1) Pyrate Confraternity "The National Associations of Sea Dogs"
As we have already mentioned, it is controversially the first "secret cult" in the Nigerian University System. Its two main symbols are a skull, two cross-bones and an anchor. The cult's purposes are: "against expiring convention, tribalism, for humanistic ideas and partnership and knighthood."But their hay days soon ended when the Buccaneers branched out from them.

The cube can be described by $0 \le x,y,z \le 1$.
To name the faces, we'll say $x$ extends to the right, $y$ to the top and $z$ forward:
Given a face/plane (for example, $x=1$ or $y=0$), I want to generate an ordered list of vertices of that face, such that they proceed counter-clockwise around the face of the cube if you were to look at the cube -- that is from some point outside $(0,1)$.
For example, one such ordering for the right face ($x=1$) would be:
while one such ordering for the left face($x=0$) would be:
Note that in the first ordering, we go from $(y,z) = (0,0)$ to $(1,0)$.
While in the second we go from $(y,z) = (0,0)$ to $(0,1)$.
This is because of the counter-clockwise restriction.
I'm fairly certain I can somehow use the normal of the face (in the above case <1,0,0>) to compute these, and I'm thinking it has something to do with a cross product somewhere, but after that I'm lost.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Cross-product is, indeed, the key. I'll assume that the cube is $[-1,1]^3$ rather than $[0,1]^3$ (replacing $-1$'s by $0$'s in the final answer shouldn't be an insurmountable programming challenge) If $e$ is the unit vector in the direction of your face (say $(0,-1,0)$) and $v$ is any vertex on that face (say, $(-1,-1,1$), then the next vertex in the counterclockwise order is given by $e+e\times v$.

I would like to use a type that behaves like a simple list of pairs [(a,b)] that serves as a dictionary, mapping keys of type a to values of type b, while maintaining a "user-specified", defined order of keys. (i.e. just as with ordinary lists - I would like to be able to "append" an item which is then recognized as the "last element".) However I would like random access lookup on keys with better than linear performance, i.e. what Data.Map provides. One option would be to just maintain an ordinary map in addition to a list of keys that defines their order:
data OrderedDict a b = OrderedDict (Map a b) [a]
and then define append operations, etc. that keep the two key collections in sync. It seems ugly though to maintain two separate collections of the same keys. Is there a ready-made data type that already combines ordered keys with efficient random-access lookup by key?
share|improve this question
Java's LinkedHashMap seems to do something similar: thread a list of keys through the map. Python's OrderedDict is simply a list of pairs, so they're no help here. – Lambda Fairy Jun 8 '12 at 4:07
What do you mean with "defined order"? Given two keys a1 and a2, is it a priori fixed whether a1 precedes a2 or is the precedence determined at runtime? – Peter Jun 8 '12 at 6:46
_USER_ I mean 'defined order' in the same sense as with ordinary lists - if I append a2 after I append a1, then a1 precedes a2 – gcbenison Jun 8 '12 at 13:54

Take a look at ixset library - it allows you to maintain sets indexed by multiple columns (by a and by Int in your case). This is much more maintainable than keeping maps consistent by hand
share|improve this answer
Thanks - ixset is cool. I don't think it quite matches the bill in this case because it can allow inconsistent state (multiple entries with the same Int field) and it would require a caller performing an append operation to explicitly specify the index - something not required by ordinary lists. – gcbenison Jun 8 '12 at 15:13
add comment
Unless I completely misunderstand your question, Data.Map does exactly this, using the key type's Ord instance for ordering. As it's a binary tree, the implementation keeps the keys ordered as well.
Data.Map.keys gives you the keys of a map in ascending order; as transformations, such as map, of a Map are purely functional the order of traversal is irrelevant, and all ways of getting a sequence of keys or key/value pairs out of a Map gives you an ordered list.
share|improve this answer
I believe gcbenison is asking for something like Data.Map but with the added property of preserving the order in which the keys are inserted. – dbaupp Jun 8 '12 at 7:05
add comment
If you just want to preserve some fixed order (e.g. insertion time) in addition of having O(log n) lookup/insertions, you could simply use multiple maps and update them simultaneously:
 1. Map a b for storing the actual data, and
 2. Map Int a that gives you the i-th key in the order. (If you also need to query the index of a given key you could add a Map a Int)

For the first time ever, a team led by the University of Colorado Boulder has sequenced the internal bacterial makeup of the three major life stages of a butterfly species, a project that showed some surprising events occur during metamorphosis.
The team, led by CU-Boulder doctoral student Tobin Hammer, used powerful DNA sequencing methods to characterize bacterial communities inhabiting caterpillars, pupae and adults of Heliconius erato, commonly known as the red postman butterfly. The red postman is an abundant tropical butterfly found in Central and South America.
The results showed the internal bacterial diversity of the red postman was halved when it morphed from the caterpillar to the chrysalis, or pupal stage, then doubled after the pupae turned into active adult butterflies. The study is important because communities of bacteria inhabiting other insects have been shown to affect host nutrition, digestion, detoxification and defense from predators, parasites and pathogens, said Hammer of the ecology and evolutionary biology department.

The fourth step of a typical Oracle | Primavera Risk (Pertmaster) Monte Carlo analysis is to load uncertainty or productivity ranges on the network activities. Loading three-point estimates (minimum, likely, and maximum) manually can be very time for large projects, however may be very useful for summary schedules or key areas of the project schedule.
Video Walkthrough of Manually Loading Risk Ranges in Oracle | Primavera Risk (Pertmaster) (Duration: 4 min: 49 sec)
Overview and Steps
- The Primavera and Microsoft Project Gantt Chart views have the minimum, most likely, and maximum columns shown.
- The duration uncertainty column can be added to any view. The columns are Risk Input – Duration Minimum, Risk Input – Duration Most Likely, Risk Input – Duration Maximum.
- The distribution type (Triangle, Beta Pert, etc) can be added to any view by adding the Risk Input – Duration Distribution column.
- The risk analyst can type directly in the columns to manually set the three-point estimates.
- The minimum, most likely, and max can be equal, however the durations cannot be out of logical order. For example, the minimum cannot be bigger than the most likely or maximum.
Viewing Risk Data in the Navigation Pane
- The risk data can also be manually manipulated via the Risk and Uncertainty tab in the navigation pane.
- The risk analyst or auditor can find any risk information for the project located in the Risk and Uncertainty tab, such as three-point estimates and probability of occurrence.
- A second layer of tabs will appear when the Risk and Uncertainty tab is selected. Project managers can change the three-point estimates and distributions in the Duration Uncertainty tab located in the second layer.

text: The purpose was to determine if waist placement of the pedometer affected accuracy in normal, overweight, and obese children, when attaching the pedometer to the waistband or a belt. Methods: Seventy-seven children (ages 10-12 years) wore 5 pedometers on the waistband of their pants and a belt at the following placements: navel (NV), anterior midline of the right thigh (AMT), right side (RS), posterior midline of the right thigh (PMT), and middle of the back (MB). Participants walked 100 steps on a treadmill at 80 m · min–1. Results: The RS, PMT, and MB sites on the waistband and the AMT and RS sites on the belt produced the least error. Conclusions: Of these sites, the RS placement is recommended because of the ease of reading the pedometer during activity. Using a belt did not significantly improve accuracy except for normal weight groups at the NV placement site.

Johnsonville Fossil Plant
TVA's Johnsonville Fossil Plant is located on 720 acres of land near Waverly, Tenn. It is named for the town of Johnsonville, which was flooded during the formation of the adjacent Kentucky Lake. The town was relocated several miles south and named New Johnsonville.
Johnsonville is the oldest fossil plant in the TVA fleet. Plant construction began May 12, 1949 with the first of the plant's 10 operating units going into service Oct. 27, 1951. The final unit began generating electricity on Aug. 20, 1959.
Johnsonville can generate about 1,500 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, enough to power approximately 800,000 homes. Units 1 through 4 also provide steam to a nearby DuPont plant in a co-generation configuration. Johnsonville is the only TVA coal-fired co-generation facility.
Nevertheless, units 1 through 4 will cease generation by December 2017, as part of a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Units 5 through 10 were idled in 2012.

Difference Between Similar Terms and Objects
Difference Between Stack and Queue
Both stack and queue are defined by a sequential collection of objects organized in a particular order in a data structure based on some real-life equivalents. Both are linear data structures used to efficiently store and retrieve data elements, with the exception of working principle. A stack is an ordered list of elements where all insertions and deletions are made at the same end, whereas a queue is exactly the opposite of a stack which is open at both the ends meaning one end is used to insert data while the other to remove data. The main difference between the two is their working mechanism.
What is a Stack?
A stack is a linear data structure used to organize data in a particular way so that it can be used efficiently. Machines need directions to accomplish tasks both simple and complicated in the form of commands. Similarly, data can be structured in many different ways and one of the most efficient data structures is stacks. It is an abstract data structure that resembles a physical stack where objects are organized in a particular order, specifically based on a last-in-first-out (LIFO) mechanism which means the last item added is to be accessed first and vice-versa. The most common application of a stack data structure is backtracking or the Depth-first search algorithm.
What is a Queue?
Queue is also a linear data structure, somewhat similar to a stack data structure, except it is open at both the ends. It's a sequential collection of objects that resemble a queue of people. Unlike stacks, it is based on the first-in-first-out (FIFO) principle meaning the earliest added item can be accessed first and vice-versa. In a queue, one end is used to insert the items and the other end to remove the items. Like a line of people, new entities are placed at the rear and already-served entities are removed from the front. Two operations are allowed on a queue: enqueue and dequeue. Enqueue refers to addition of items at the rear and dequeue means removing items from the front.
Difference between Stack and Queue
Meaning of Stack and Queue
Stack is a basic data structure, an abstract data type represented by a linear structure resembling a physical stack where the object can be added at any time but can be removed which is added last. In simple terms, the insertion and deletion of objects in a stack data structure takes place at one end which is the top of the stack. Queue is somewhat similar to stacks except it is open at both the ends – one end to insert the object and the other to remove the object meaning the objects that are stored first can be accessed first.
Working Principle in Stack and Queue
Both stack and queue are non-primitive abstract data types in data structure served as a collection of objects in which the entities are stored in a particular order. A stack is a container of objects where the entities are stored and removed based on the last-in-first-out (LIFO) working principle meaning the objects can be stored and retrieved on at a time. A queue, on the other hand, is a collection of objects where the entities are stored and removed according to the first-in-first-out (FIFO) principle.
Structure of Stack and Queue
The name stack refers to the analogy of a structure where the items are placed on top of each other like a stack like a packet of biscuits. One end is used to place and remove objects from the stack making it easy to pick an object from the top, while making it difficult at the same time to access the last object which requires removing multiple items one by one starting from the top. Queue is the opposite of stacks meaning new objects are placed at the rear and removed from the front just like a book.
Operations
There are two basic operations that can be performed on stacks: push, which basically adds an item to the stack and if the stack is full then it's an Overflow condition, and pop, which removed the most recent item from the stack and an empty stack, refers to an Underflow condition. There is an additional peek operation associated with stacks which allows you to access the item at the top without modifying the stack. Two basic principles are associated with queue: enqueue which means adding objects to the rear, and dequeue which refers to removal of objects from the front.
Applications of Stack and Queue
One of the most primary applications of a stack data structure is the Depth-first search algorithm, which is based on the idea of backtracking mainly used for searching a graph or tree data structure. It can also be used for compiler/operating system to process function calls or to implement recursive functions. The most common application of a queue data structure is CPU scheduling or disk scheduling or operations research. A real life example of a queue data structure is the queue of people itself where the person standing first in the line is to be served first.
Stack vs. Queue: Comparison Chart
Summary of Stack vs Queue
Both stack and queue are non-primitive abstract data structures defined as a collection of objects organized in a particular order in a computer, but with different working principles. While both relate to organization and storage of data, they do it very differently. Stack is a basic data structure based on the principle of LIFO also called as last-in-first out meaning the item added last is to be accessed first or FILO meaning the first item in is to be accessed last. On the contrary, queue is based on the FIFI (first-in-first-out) principle meaning the earliest item is to be accessed first.

In this paper, a novel two-dimensional direction of arrival (2-D DOA) estimation method is proposed based on a new array configuration when uncorrelated and coherent signals coexist. The DOAs of uncorrelated signals are estimated using the non-zero eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of the DOA matrix (DOAM) combined with our proposed criterion. Meanwhile, we can form a new matrix without the information of uncorrelated signals. Then the coherent signals are resolved with the redefined DOAM that is constructed by the smoothed matrices of the new matrix. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method. Other arrays that contain multiple identical central-symmetric subarrays (e.g. uniform rectangular arrays) can also be applied with our method.

HowTo: Convert metadata from GXplorer 6.0 to GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6
Unofficial Content
This document attempts to explain all the things to take into account if you want to convert a GXplorer6.0 metadata to a GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 metadata.
What things should I know before converting the metadata?
There are a few things to take into account before even think to convert a whole metadata from GXplorer 6.0 to a GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6. The most important one is knowing how GXquery works (for more information, please refer to GXquery course ) and having a GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 installation.
Another important thing you have to know that this conversion involves a change of paradigm, GXplorer 6.0 uses the OLAP paradigm and GXquery 4.0 uses Attribute paradigm. So the consequences of converting a metadata imply changes or lost, of concepts.
The following concepts are changed when the conversion is done:
 - A partitioned measure is converted to N differents attributes on differents fact tables and without any relationship between them. Now the user will have to choose very carefully the table to navigate to make an effective Query.
 - At GXplorer 6.0 a dimension has an Id and a description attribures, that are considered just one thing. In GXquery 4.0 this is considered as two differents attributes.
 - If the dimension Id has more than one attribute, they will be considered as different attributes without any special relationship between them.
 - Filters at GXplorer 6.0 are defined for a measure or for a dimension. In GXquery those filters will be applied to some of the attributes of the measure or the dimension.
The following concepts are lost when the conversion is done because they are not supported in GXquery:
 - Filters of the following type: Ranking, Minimum and Maximum.
 - Aggregation restrictions (none, partially or totally).
 - Measures defined as a Count formula in GXplorer Manager.
How can I make the metadata conversion?
GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 provides a tool to convert a GXplorer 6.0 metadata easily to a GXquery 4.0 metadata.
This tool is called MetadataConverter and we can execute it by running (as administrator) the Artech.GXquery.Converter.exe application located in the Metadata Converter folder at the GXquery 4.0 installation folder.
Step By Step
Step 1: Open the metadata converter and select the GXplorer 6.0 catalog.
GXplorer conversion 1
Step 2: Select the destination folder and start the conversion.
GXplorer conversion 2
Obs: by selecting Advanced the following window will be open, and we have the option to set the server or credentials for SQL Server (the tool needs a SQL Server to create a temporary Knowledge Base as part of the conversion process).
GXplorer conversion 3
Also, we can follow the status of the conversion progress and get the conversion log.
Step 3: Done!
The conversion process it's done. As a result, we have now an.export file ready to be imported to GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 installation. For more information about how this step it's done, please refer to HowTo: Creating a GXquery metadata in GXquery.

We have investigated the defect accumulation and amorphization in14N+implanted 6H-SiC as a function of ion fluence using confocal micro-Raman scattering. Raman spectra are very sensitive to changes in the chemical short-range order and to the formation of Si-Siand C-C-bonds, which are not present in the unimplanted material. The technique also allowed the determination of the optical absorption coefficient. It increases proportional to the ion dose until the formation of the amorphous layer, and this increase is related to the formation of absorbing centers.

Aarhus Botanical Gardens is a botanical garden in Aarhus, Denmark. It is located north of the Old Town open-air village museum and was founded in 1875. Nowadays it covers an area of 21.5ha, with 5ha for the Old Town.
The park was originally created primarily as a botanical and academic study-ground in relation to Aarhus University and provides an attraction of interest to those who wish to inspect the thousands of plant species on display here. All are labelled in both Latin and Danish. The landscape is quite varied and includes a large greenhouse center; originally from 1970 by C. F. Møller Architects, but with a newly added tropical hothouse. The gardens have an open-air amphitheatre, two small ponds, a children's playground and the large lawns are popular with picnics, gatherings and events of all kinds year round.
The greenhouses has been heavily renovated from 2011 to late 2014 and a large tropical dome was added, amongst other facilities. The project was budgeted at 65 million DKK and realized in a cooperation between Aarhus Municipality, Aarhus University and Realdania, with C. F. Møller Architects as architectural designers.
Aarhus municipality have found large parts of the botanical gardens too expensive in upkeep and manpower for several years. It was decided to stop the upkeep of the large rose gardens and the arboretum at one point and thereby end the park's status as a botanical garden, but civil protests postponed the city councils decisions for some years. In 2011, a group of citizens founded the non-governmental organization "Botanisk Haves Venner" (Friends of the Botanical Gardens) and since 2012, they are now in charge of the daily chores of maintaining the rose gardens and arboretum, working for free. Aarhus University also took over part of the responsibility from Aarhus Municipality, through the Science Museums which operates the greenhouses.
The gardens (including the greenhouses) are changing its status and function from a scientific study ground to a place for recreational activities, public outreach and education.

Inferring Disease-Related Domain Using Network-Based Method
Domain-domain interaction (DDI) network analysis has been widely applied in the investigation of the mechanisms of diseases. This project focus on mapping the melanoma-related mutations to domain and domain-domain interaction (DDI) level and use potential correlation method to find the human domains that have never been found to have anything to do with the melanoma-related study. Firstly, we extract melanoma-related mutations from COSMIC database, then map the mutations to protein database UniProt and domain database Pfam to find the melanoma-related domains; Secondly, we get the melanoma-related DDI information and the human DDI information from the DDI database iPfam; Thirdly, we construct the melanoma-related DDI network and human DDI network and then combine two approaches to use potential correlation method to analyze the two DDI networks. Finally, we find that among all the human domains who have potential correlation relationship with melanoma, there are 27 human domains that have never been found to have anything to do with melanoma in the existing literature and study. The result shows the effectiveness of our method and further study based on these human domains may lead to some new methods to cure melanoma.

Electricity Cost of Using a Kindle
I while ago someone on The Simple Dollar made a comment questioning the electricity usage of a Kindle. At the time I thought to myself that a Kindle couldn't possibly use much electricity. Small electronics like cell phones and tables and the like really don't use much power and their small batteries require little electricity to charge them. But I like to have actual facts rather than just simple assumptions. Therefore I set off to find out how much electricity a Kindle actually uses and how much the electricity it would cost to operate one.
Amazon's Kindle Fire is probably the worst case as far as Kindle models go. It has color screen and a more powerful processor so it will use more electricity than the other models. I'm going to just look at the Fire since its the worst case, the other simpler black and white models will be cheaper to operate.
The Kindle Fire has a battery with 16.28 Wh capacity. Thats 0.1628 kWh. The average cost of a single kWh is about 11¢/. Based on these numbers it would cost 0.17908¢ to charge the battery of a Kindle Fire.
You can charge the battery in a Kindle Fire 5.58 times for a single penny worth of electricity.
Amazon says that the Kindle Fire will last 8 hours of reading on a single charge. One penny worth of electricity will get you 44.64 hours worth of reading on a Fire.
 An average book is approximately 70,000 words. An average adult reads about 250 words a minute.
1 penny = 44.64 hours reading = 2678.4 minutes reading = 669,600 words = 9.565 books.
For the cost of 1 penny worth of electricity an average speed reader can read approximately 9 1/2 average size books on a Fire.
The Kindle Fire will also play movies and videos. The Amazon specs say that the Fire will play 7.5 hours of video on a battery charge. Nearly as much as the reading time on a single battery charge.
Since a penny of electricity will charge a Fire 5.58 times and a single charge will give you 7.5 hours of video you can get 41.85 hours of video playback on a Fire for 1 penny worth of electricity.
Of course all of these numbers are just averages and your mileage will vary.
Bottom Line : A Kindle is very cheap to operate and the electricity bill should be almost negligible.

Double Red Donations
Red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of the body, comprise 40-50 percent of blood volume and are the most commonly transfused blood product. They are used to treat anemia, for surgical operations and to replace blood lost due to trauma resulting from accidents or injuries.
A double red cell donation is an automated process that allows the donor to give two units of red blood cells in one visit. In this two-step process, two units of red cells are collected from the donor and other blood components like plasma are returned to the donor. A double red cell donation takes 30 to 40 minutes; the entire visit takes about an hour and 15 minutes, a bit longer than a whole blood donation.
Double Impact
As a double red cell donor you double your impact by providing twice as many red cells for patients in need. You also receive a $10 gift card as a thank you for your time and donation.
Donor requirements for double red cell donations:
 - Donors must be at least 17 years of age.
 - Donors must have an adequate blood iron level.
 - Female donors must be at least 5'5" tall and weigh 150 pounds.
 - Male donors must be at least 5'1" and weigh 130 pounds.
 - Donors must have an appointment to make a double red donation.
Type O donors are especially suited for double red cell donations because 45 percent of the population has Type O blood. Additionally, Type O Negative is in even greater demand because all patients can receive that blood type.
A donor can give double red cells every 112 days.

The Agricultural and Livestock Sector: Engine of Growth in Colombia!
Colombia has great potential for agriculture and livestock. The main activities are focused on winner products such as cane, African oil palm, rice and cereals, beef and dairy cattle, pigs, flowers, bananas, coffee, fruits and vegetables.
In Colombia it is estimated that only 25% of total land is cultivated. There is great potential in areas such as cereals and sugarcane for energy production, and palm and forest for biodiesel production.
"Entrepreneurship, formalization of production activities in the countryside, and technological innovation, are some of the key factors – and in which the Ministry of Agriculture has his sights set on – to make this economic line a locomotive of economic development. Colombia is a country that has a very large land offer." Juan Camilo Restrepo - Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development.

River's Run Enriches Valley: FRWA preserves Farmington
Updated: Dec 1, 2021
This article first appeared as the cover story in the November edition of Today Magazine, our monthly publication
By Bruce Deckert — Today Magazine Editor-in-Chief
The Farmington River — the classic waterway that lends its name to the Farmington Valley — is an iconic river by any measure. Granted, not a household name nationally like the Hudson, Mississippi or Rio Grande, but as vital to this fertile central Connecticut valley as any other American river is to its region.
A Simsbury-based nonprofit, the Farmington River Watershed Association, is dedicated to maintaining the vitality of the river and its interconnected natural resources. The FRWA aims to maintain a laser-focus on protecting and preserving this essential life-giving waterway.
A watershed is the land area that drains into a body of water. The Farmington River's widespread watershed is comprised of 33 towns covering 600-plus square miles in Connecticut and Massachusetts. This watershed provides 100% of the drinking water for over 600,000 people in Greater Hartford and the Farmington Valley.
"Decisions are made in each town that affect the health of the watershed every day," says the FRWA website.
Given the two neighboring states associated with the river, you might be wondering where the river's source is located.
The answer is a confusing riddle: The source is in both Massachusetts and Connecticut. How can this conundrum be resolved? Simple — the river has two branches.
The source of the river's West Branch is in the town of Becket in western Massachusetts — a stone's throw from the Otis town line — and the source of the East Branch is at the northern tip of the Barkhamsted Reservoir in Hartland, Connecticut. The reservoir was formed via a dam system on the East Branch.
The two branches converge in New Hartford and run to the river's mouth, where the Farmington joins the Connecticut River in Windsor, just northeast of Hartford.
The West Branch runs about 34.5 miles, per various sources, and the East Branch about 13 miles. After they merge, the river runs for about 46.5 miles.
The FRWA records the river's length at 81 miles — the sum of the West Branch and the merged main river. When the East Branch is added, the Farmington covers an overall distance of 94 miles.
Further nomenclature issues arise because the river is divided into the Lower Farmington and the Upper Farmington — but the details of this demarcation can wait for another day and further research.
Some notable numbers, from the FRWA website:
- More than 75 miles of the Farmington have received the federal Wild & Scenic River designation.
- There are 400-plus dams in Connecticut's Farmington River watershed.
- The river is home to 12 species of freshwater mussels and countless fish, and the watershed provides refuge and residence for an abundant and amazing diversity of wildlife.
And there's this peculiar fact — while swimming is allowed, the river has no officially designated swimming areas.
The Farmington River's relationship with the Farmington Valley region is complicated … yet nonetheless essential.
The Valley's five core towns (in alphabetical order) are Avon, Canton, Farmington, Granby and Simsbury — but the river doesn't exactly follow the ABCs in its passage through our region.
Its fluid meandering journey through the Farmington Valley begins in Canton when the river briefly forms a de facto boundary between Canton and New Hartford before flowing southeast into the Collinsville section of Canton.
When the river flows out of Collinsville, it forms the de facto western boundary of Avon where the town meets Burlington — and continues flowing in a south and southeasterly direction into the Unionville section of Farmington.
The waterway travels southeast through Farmington until making an unusual left-hand turn north and then into the eastern part of Avon.
The river keeps flowing north through Avon into Simsbury — with the Metacomet Ridge and Talcott Mountain just to the east — and stays north and slightly northeast until making a hairpin right-hand turn near the Granby town line to head southeast.
Granby is the only Valley municipality the Farmington River doesn't enter, but Salmon Brook is a key tributary and runs right through town. Of course, Granby is clearly in the river's watershed.
"Decisions are made in each town that affect the health of the watershed every day" — FRWA website
After bending southeast, the river goes through the Tariffville section of Simsbury, also flowing southeast out of town — and then bends northeast before bending back southeast in a roller-coaster descent, including a brief hairpin bend northwest (believe it or not) before another hairpin bend southeast for its homestretch run.
If you're keeping score at home, you've likely noted that the Farmington is one of those rare rivers that flows in all four cardinal directions: north, south, east and west.
Further, if all this bending makes you suspicious about whether the river suffers from a proverbial drinking bender, that would be understandable. But despite its apparent directionally challenged condition, the Farmington River ultimately reaches its destination — the Connecticut River.
Yes, the Farmington finally fulfills its role as a major tributary of our state's namesake waterway.
Wow … and whew … is anyone else dizzy? A complicated river, indeed, but certainly worth the complications, and worthy of the collective care of the Farmington Valley community. The Farmington River Watershed Association seeks to cultivate such care. +

A stable set of toolchain components provided by Maciej can be downloaded from _URL_ or the mirror at _URL_ This is based on gcc 2.95.3 (patched) and up-to-date binutils.
Dan Kegel
Dan Kegel has a page at _URL_ with a nice script to automatize the build procedure. Crosstool can only generate toolchains that use the GNU C Library, support for the smaller C Library _URL_ uClibc might be added in the future.
Toolchain and Buildroot
uClibc developers provide tools to generate toolchains and root filesystems with the uClibc standard C library.
The Toolchain tool allows to generate a toolchain for a variety of architectures, including MIPS and MIPSel.
The Buildroot tool allows to generate both a toolchain and a root filesystem for a variety of architectures, including MIPS and MIPSel. Using a configuration tool (similar to the one used for the Linux Kernel), you can select compiler version, binutils version, and all softwares that should be included in the root filesystem. Then the Makefiles will automatically download, configure, compile, install and generate the toolchain and the root filesystem image.

French physiologist who discovered osmosis. He observed the diffusion of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane, calling the process osmosis. In the area of plant physiology, Dutrochet recognized the significance of green pigment in the use of carbon dioxide, investigated the mechanisms of respiration, light sensitivity, and geotropism, and showed that internal plant transport involves osmosis. He demonstrated that mushrooms are the reproductive bodies of the mycelium. Dutrochet was among the first to recognize the importance of an organism's individual cells.
