Effectiveness of (R,Q) policies in one-warehouse multiretailer systems with deterministic demand and backlogging
Consider a distribution system with a central warehouse and multiple retailers. Customer demand arrives at each of the retailers continuously at a constant rate. The retailers replenish their inventories from the warehouse which in turn orders from an outside supplier with unlimited stock. There are economies of scale in replenishing the inventories at both the warehouse and the retail level. Stockouts at the retailers are backlogged. The system incurs holding and backorder costs. The objective is to minimize the long-run average total cost in the system. This paper studies the cost effectiveness of (R, Q) policies in the above system. Under an (R, Q) policy, each facility orders a fixed quantity Q from its supplier every time its inventory position reaches a reorder point R. It is shown that (R, Q) policies are at least 76% effective. Numerical examples are provided to further illustrate the cost effectiveness of (R, Q) policies.

text: This paper analyses immigrants' education-occupation mismatch as well as its impact on their wages in Spain. Using cross-sectional data from the National Immigrant Survey of Spain 2007, we estimate a probit model taking into account the possible problem of selection bias. We show that the incidence of immigrants' education-occupation mismatch in the Spanish labour market can largely be explained by the incidence of education-occupation mismatch in the last job held in the home country. The probability of having been over-educated at home shows to have a higher effect on the probability of being over-educated in the first job upon arrival where work experience gained in the home country shows to be highly valued by Spanish employers. In addition, our results show that those who were over-educated in their first job after arrival are more likely to continue in being overeducated in their current/last job in Spain. Furthermore, we analyse the performance of immigrants in Spain by estimating the wage penalty of over-education. Using log wage equation as well as predicted and counterfactual values distinguishing between immigrants being in the correctly matched occupation and those who are over-educated, we show that over-educated immigrants earn significantly lower wage compared to their correctly-matched counterparts, while over-educated immigrants' would have earned an even larger amount if the same individuals were employed in a correctly matched job instead. Significant differences are also apparent when restricting the models to the level of education.


Stanley Chalk Line Reel
Ever since I was a kid watching my dad use a chalk line, I was curious about the simplicity of its design. A chalk line can be used to mark a long straight line on a wall or as a plumb bob. Inside the polypropylene casing is 100 feet of string which sits in a purple chalk. Extend the line from one point to another and then "ping it" and a purple-coloured line appears. The external crank handle is used to rewind the line. Turn it perpendicular and you have a plumb bob. So simple, so effective, and what's not to love about chalk lines!
Here's a video showing you how to use a chalk line.

How to: Traverse a Binary Tree with Parallel Tasks
The following example shows two ways in which parallel tasks can be used to traverse a tree data structure. The creation of the tree itself is left as an exercise.
 public class TreeWalk
 {
 static void Main()
 {
 Tree<MyClass> tree = new Tree<MyClass>();
 // ...populate tree (left as an exercise)
 // Define the Action to perform on each node.
 Action<MyClass> myAction = x => Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", x.Name, x.Number);
 // Traverse the tree with parallel tasks.
 DoTree(tree, myAction);
 }
 public class MyClass
 {
 public string Name { get; set; }
 public int Number { get; set; }
 }
 public class Tree<T>
 {
 public Tree<T> Left;
 public Tree<T> Right;
 public T Data;
 }
 // By using tasks explcitly.
 public static void DoTree<T>(Tree<T> tree, Action<T> action)
 {
 if (tree == null) return;
 var left = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => DoTree(tree.Left, action));
 var right = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => DoTree(tree.Right, action));
 action(tree.Data);
 try
 {
 Task.WaitAll(left, right);
 }
 catch (AggregateException )
 {
 //handle exceptions here
 }
 }
 // By using Parallel.Invoke
 public static void DoTree2<T>(Tree<T> tree, Action<T> action)
 {
 if (tree == null) return;
 Parallel.Invoke(
 () => DoTree2(tree.Left, action),
 () => DoTree2(tree.Right, action),
 () => action(tree.Data)
 );
 }
 }
The two methods shown are functionally equivalent. By using the StartNew() method to create and run the tasks, you get a handle back from the tasks which can be used to wait on the tasks and handle exceptions.

 1. Chilblains
 Chilblains is a medical condition that occurs when a predisposed individual is exposed to cold and humidity, causing tissue damage. It is often confused with frostbite and trench foot. The cold exposure damages capillary beds in the skin, which in turn causes redness, itching, blisters, and inflammation. Chilblains can be prevented by keeping the feet and hands warm in cold weather. Chilblains can be idiopathic, but may also be a manifestation of a serious medical condition that needs to be investigated. A history of chilblains is suggestive of a connective tissue disease. Chilblains in infants, together with severe neurologic disease and unexplained fevers, can be seen in Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, a rare inherited condition.

Mourning – The Day After Loss
How to deal with the death of a loved one?
Practical insight on coping with grief and bereavement
The death of a loved one surfaces pressing dilemmas: How should the deceased be commemorated in daily life and special occasions, such as holidays, birthdays, and memorials? How should his absence be regarded in school or at work? How does a marriage continue after death? How should the deceased's clothes and belongings be handled? How should one remember, and how does one find the power to live on?
Mourning: The Day After Loss delivers personal expressions of grief from parents and grandparents, siblings, spouses, and friends who have suffered loss or supported others in their grief. The author uses her experience as a group facilitator to bring the voices of participants in support groups for the bereaved, as well as the insights and testimonies of others who have dealt with life after loss. This book offers a comprehensive overview of bereavement and the approaches and methods of dealing with loss.


What Happens When a Loved One Dies in Prison?
What Happens When a Loved One Dies in PrisonFuneral planning isn't a positive experience in the best of circumstances—so when you add a complicated legal or personal situation, things have a way of becoming even more difficult and emotional.
One scenario that few people anticipate having to navigate is how to take care of the deceased when he or she passes away in a government institution like jail. However, this type of situation can and does happen, and there are options for families who wish to reclaim the deceased's body for a personalized burial.
The Death Care Industry and Prison
In many cases, inmates who face a long time in prison—or who are otherwise in a situation in which death has a reasonable chance of occurring while they are incarcerated—make a will or other advance plans for death. Because they are already firmly in the legal system and have had contact with a lawyer, they may have been encouraged to draft a will that indicates where and how their body will be interred.
Popular among these options are programs that allow inmates to donate their bodies to science and other organizations. Because these are a donation program, there is no additional cost to the deceased's family or estate, making it ideal when funeral costs are an issue.

However, the lack of personalization of this type of scenario can be hard on families, which is why it's important to have conversations with your loved ones ahead of time. If you can't afford a funeral after death occurs, you may be able to work out an advance funeral pre-plan with a local funeral home or even discuss alternate options with a lawyer.
Families Getting Involved in the Funeral Planning
Individuals who die while incarcerated can be buried and given a funeral much like any other person who passes away. An immediate family member, spouse, or otherwise authorized person may claim the body and assume responsibility for the costs and process of funeral planning.
If you wish to access your loved one's medical records and personal belongings, and if you want to have a say in how he or she is buried, it's a good idea to notify the authorities that you intend to take over the funeral planning process as soon as you hear of the passing.
If family members are unable to pay for the funeral, the body will be treated according to county regulations. This might mean direct burial or cremation, or even the donation of the body to science. It is important to note that when you sign over the rights of burial to the department of corrections, you typically waive all rights to your say in the funeral plans as well as your access to his or her belongings.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of different oligosaccharides on the physicochemical properties of corn starch.
Methods: The blue value and retrogradation of corn starch were evaluated following the addition of different oligosaccharides and compared with control. Pasting properties, melting enthalpy and melting temperature were determined by rapid viscosity analysis (RVA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
Results: Maltose, lactose and fructo-oligosaccharides significantly affected iodine binding ability of corn starch. Retrogradation of corn starch was significantly inhibited by maltose, xylooligosaccharide and fructooligosaccharides. RVA analysis showed that the addition of oligosaccharides increased the peak viscosity of corn starch (from 3180 cP to 3687 cP) but decreased that of corn starch (from 896cP to 625 cP). DSC analysis showed that there was a large reduction in recrystallisation of corn starch by oligosaccharide. The samples containing xylooligosaccharide and fructooligosaccharides showed lower melting enthalpy (142.7 J/g and 143.5 J/g, respectively) than that of control (209.4 J/g), and their onset temperature (-10.9 °C and -8.89 °C, respectively) were also lower than that of control (-5.92 °C). In addition, the melting enthalpy and melting temperature of the samples containing oligosaccharides also showed lower values than those of control during storage.
Conclusion: The finding that oligosaccharides modify the physicochemical properties of corn starch would be of practical importance in broadening their application prospects of the starch in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Antarah (Antar) Ibn Shaddad (525 - 615 / Najd)
'Antarah Ibn Shaddad al-'Absi was a pre-Islamic Arabian hero and poet (525-608) famous both for his poetry and his adventurous life. What many consider his best or chief poem is contained in the Mu'allaqat. The account of his life forms the basis of a long and extravagant romance.
Antarah was born in Najd (northern Saudi Arabia). He was the son of Shaddad, a well-respected member of the Arabian tribe of Banu Abs, his mother was named Zabibah, an Ethiopian woman, whom Shaddad had enslaved after a tribal war. The tribe neglected Antara at first, and he grew up in servitude. Although it was fairly obvious that Shaddad was his father. He was considered one... more »

Yes, and this is a very important effect in synthetic polyelectrolytes and in biological macromolecules.
The usual model is to treat the added charge as an imobile object with a given charge. The dissolved ions are then treated as mobile charges. The mobile ions with the opposite charge will be attracted to the fixed charge, and repelled from each other. The mobile ions with the same charge as the fixed charge will be repelled from it, and each other. The end result of that is a continuous charge distribution throughout the liquid. The electrostatic potential is the sum of the potential from the fixed ion with the potential due to the sea of mobile ions. You can treat the mobile ions statistical mechanically: they follow a Boltzmann distribution with energies equal to their charge times the electrostatic potential at their location in the liquid. Put those two terms together to get the Poisson-Boltzmann equation, a partial differential equation for the electrostatic potential in the liquid. In general that is difficult to solve, and it's usually solved numerically. For some special problems, it is possible to solve the PB equation analytically. The usual approximation is that the electrostatic energy is much less than the thermal energy $kT$, in which case you can linearize the PB equation to get the Debye-Huckel equation.
The Debye-Huckel equation is actually a bit instructive qualitatively. In the absence of anything else, the electrostatic potential falls off as $V(r) \propto 1/r$. In the presence of the mobile ions, the electrostatic falls off as $V(r) \propto e^{-\kappa r}/r$. $\kappa^{-1}$ is caled the Debye screening length, and is proportional to (among other things) the square root of the ionic strength of the solution.

Running until 21 November, the London branch of Blain|Southern is offering viewers the opportunity to see rarely exhibited work by leading video artist Bill Viola. The artist's stand-alone piece created in 1979, Moving Stillness (Mt. Rainier), is a poetic combination of film, projections, light and water, and has been sanctioned by many as a trailblazer for future generations of video-art and its capabilities. The innovative piece of film/installation is being shown to the public for the first time since its debut at the Media Study/Buffalo in New York. Through the exhibition's focus on this, one of Viola's earlier works, the showcase at Blain|Southern is a testament to how much the artist has developed and grown since the 1970s, with his screens, spaces and projections all growing in size over the years.
Moving Stillness (Mt. Rainier) is a contemplation on the fragility of nature and our perceptions of its changes over time. A shallow pool of water lies beneath a suspended screen, a projector with blue, green and red sends real-time footage of Mt. Rainier to the surface of the water. Every so often the pool of water is slightly disturbed, which completely obliterates the image of the mountain. The installation seeks to unravel our associations with time versus nature. We assume that features of the Earth such as mountains are a static certainty, yet the occasional interruptions of this image over time reminds us that nothing is impermanent.
In collaboration with Blain|Southern, The Vinyl Factory Space is also showcasing some of Viola's early work at Brewer Street Car Park in Soho, London. The two pieces featured are The Talking Drum 1979 and Hornpipes _PHONE_. Both works are early audio manifestations that explore the physical effects of sound on an audience. The Vinyl Factory will be making 100 limited editions of the performances which are presented together for the first time.

What does battery discharge warning mean on Kia Sportage?
What does battery discharge warning mean on Kia Sportage?
Kia Sportage is a crossover SUV with an interstate battery and V6 engine. The battery discharge sign shows that the battery is draining more than the standard level.
What does battery discharge warning mean on Kia Sportage? Battery discharge warning on Kia Sportage means faulty battery, need for a battery reset, additional drainage, and broken connectors. In addition, it indicates a malfunctioning alternator, incompatible battery with amenities, frequent stops, and temperature impacts.
You cannot avoid the warning because it can lead to a dead battery on your SUV. So, troubleshoot and resolve problems to stabilize the energy flow. Following are a few problems that trigger the sign on the dashboard.
Internal faults of the battery
The average lifespan of a Kia Sportage battery is around 4 to 5.5 years. Due to excessive use, the current drainage is more than the standard levels.
It happens due to internal changes in current flow and short circuits. In addition, lack of maintenance and excessive evaporation of water causes premature failures, and you can see the warning on the dashboard.
The dead current source requires an instant replacement. Select a compatible option that can regulate the alternative voltage flow.
For the procedure, open the hood compartment and find the battery. Hold the negative terminal, remove its nut with a 10mm socket and pull it.
Move towards the positive terminal and hold the fuse box cover. Detach the positive connector and clean the surface with a commercial cleaning agent.
For its removal, adjust a 13mm socket on the bolts and loosen the extension. On the bottom side, find the mounting tab and pull it.
Slide the battery and lift it from the mounting spot. Adjust the new equipment and reinstall the removed bolts and screws.
The battery needs a reset
Due to excessive drainage, the battery discharge warning light appears on the dashboard. It indicates incorrect current flow and leakages.
It happens due to wrong codes in the computer, which requires a reset to remove the warning. Kia Sportage has different buttons for the reset, and you can access them on the manual.
You can reset it without a tool by disconnecting the power supply for 4 to 5 minutes. Push the horn button and press it for 2 to 3 minutes.
Turn on the headlights and drain the retaining electricity. After 14 to 16 minutes, reattach the positive and negative cords with the battery and check the light.
You can clear the codes with an onboard II scanner. Connect it with the OBDII connector inside the dashboard and use the ignition.
Add information about the vehicle in the scanner, approach the incorrect codes, and remove them with the clear code option.
Additional use and drainage
The plugged chargers cause excessive electricity drainage and lead to a warning indication. The addition of multiple appliances in a single circuit increases the current drain.
The serpentine belt regulates the rotational movements of the alternator. The serpentine belt breaks due to excessive heat, a broken tensioner, and faulty bearings.
It increases the current loss, and you can access the check drainage light on the display. Never leave the charger plugged into the power hub and stabilize the performance.
Change the broken serpentine belt by removing the tensioner. Loosen the tensioner with a socket and remove the pulley. With a brush, clean the pulleys and their mounting spots.
Pull the belt and remove it from the system. Install a new serpentine belt and adjust it on the grooves of the pulley. Hold the tensioner, tighten it with the pulley and fix it with the socket.
Broken connectors
The battery terminals are connectors that regulate the current supply on a Kia Sportage. Moisture causes short circuits and develops corrosion layers on the terminals.
The connectors break due to excessive pressure and age. Damaged terminals lead to voltage loss, and a battery discharge warning will appear.
Troubleshoot the connectors and their attachments. Replace the broken terminals and stabilize their performance.
To change them, unplug the connectors and clean the connecting points to attach new clamps. Household and commercial cleaners can wipe the corrosion from the terminals.
With a wire cutter, remove the terminal from the cords. Use the heat shrinking technique to stabilize the wire and terminal.
Adjust the cord with the new connector and move the wire inside the tubing. Align the electric cords and connectors for maximum response.
Tighten them with a wrench and check the current flow.
Overcharging and frequent stops
A few people overcharge their batteries for maximum performance. But, overcharge causes the incorrect balance of electrolytic cells.
The power hub undergoes power loss and malfunctioning circuits. In addition, frequent stops can make them weak, which leads to warning signs.
In these conditions, their replacement is necessary. Also, you can avoid short-distance trips.
Stabilize the battery on long stops and different operating heat levels. Do not overcharge the equipment because it reduces efficiency.
With a weak system, the lights become less bright and break them. Replace the headlights by removing their frame, disconnect the electric wires and remove the lamp.
Then, readjust a new lamp inside the frame, attach it to the power source and stabilize the brightness.
Malfunctioning alternator
The alternator of the battery is a tiny device with electric and mechanical properties. It maintains the alternative current with the spinning rotor.
Excessive heat cracks the insulation of the alternator, rotor windings, and fluid overheats. It leads to power drainage and incorrect charging, which results in a warning sign.
To remove the warning, pull its negative terminals and detach the belt tensioner. Remove the belt from the assembly, and detach the harness and connectors.
Remove the bolts of the alternator with a wrench and pull it. Adjust a new alternator, fix it in the mounting position, and align the screws on the holes.
Readjust the belt, tensioner, and negative cord. It is a challenging procedure and consumes around 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
You can spend nearly $210 to $495 on the replacement, and labor charges you $307 to $590.
Incompatibility of battery with amenities
The high voltage and incorrect current flow produce internal resistance inside the battery. As a result, it loses compatibility with the electric appliances of the Kia Sportage.
The electric surges are responsible for high resistance and heat. Discharge cycles changes due to their modified depths.
You can attach a new high-performance charger to stabilize its voltage. Troubleshoot its performance with the power train control module.
Disconnect the amenities from the battery to reduce power drainage. Cleaning and maintenance of the power hub keep it compatible with different appliances.
With these measures, you can remove the warning indications from the display unit.
Impact of temperature
Kia Sportage battery works with standard operating temperatures. At cold temperature ranges, it does not respond and undergoes drainage. The PCM sensors activate, read the faults and trigger the light.
The hot environment increases the heat levels of the power hub. It melts the terminals, vulnerable cords, and connecting points.
To resolve the fault, warm up the SUV in cold weather conditions. Take long trips to provide operating temperatures to the power source and engine.
Also, Park the SUV in a closed and warm garage. The high climate temperature has an impact on the charging and discharge activities.
You can solve the problem by troubleshooting the conditions of wires and bolts. Remove the melted cords and replace them with insulated wires.

How locking works in Mercurial.
There are two locks in Mercurial, known as "lock" (for repository data) and "wlock" (for working directory data). Generally speaking, locks are only taken by writers and there is no limit on the number of simultaneous readers. Consistency for readers is managed using atomic operations (like rename) and careful ordering of data visibility.
2. Lock files
Lock files are implemented as symlinks where possible. This allows locks to be created and information about their owner stored in a single operation.
3. The repository lock
The repository lock lives _URL_ and covers all data in store/. Writes to the repository are ordered as follows:
- write to file revlogs (data, then index)
- write to manifest revlogs (data, then index)
- write to changelog data
- write to temporary changelog index
- atomic rename of changelog index
Thus, if a reader starts at the changelog index and works down the tree in the opposite order, it will always see complete changesets without requiring a lock.
Possible problems can occur if a reader reads files out of order. For instance, copying a repository with other tools (rsync, for instance) during a pull or commit may result in copying a changelog refers to a manifest entry that isn't in the copy.
Note that the repository lock is also taken during a local hardlink clone for similar reasons, even though this is technically a read-only operation.
3.1. Interactions with non-append-only operations
Mercurial's locking is designed with the assumption that all operations are append-only. If data in the repository disappears in the middle of a read operation, problems may occur.
Thus, if Alice does a pull from Bob and Bob does a strip or rollback in the middle, Alice may get a damaged pull. To avoid this, Bob should take his repository offline when running a destructive operation.
4. The working directory lock
The working directory lock (.hg/wlock) protects some of the files in.hg/ including:
Note that it does not protect the contents of the working directory itself, as it's impractical to try to stop the user from clobbering their own data.
Again, consistent view of these files is managed with atomic rename operations and readers do not need to acquire a lock. Readers that intend to subsequently write should probably acquire this lock before beginning so that they avoid races with other writers.
This lock should be acquired BEFORE the repository lock to avoid AB-BA deadlocks.
Locks are acquired with the two methods on the localrepository class:
The usual pattern for acquiring both locks is:
from lock import release wlock = lock = None try: wlock = repo.wlock() # must come first lock = repo.lock() tr = repo.transaction("foo") # perform write operation finally: release(tr, lock, wlock) # reverse order
Locks can be taken recursively.
Atomic files are managed with the atomictemp flag to an opener:
f = repo.opener("somefile", "w", atomictemp=True) # write to f f.rename() # finalize the operation

For more than 100 years miniature ocean liners, paddle steamers and battleships captured the imagination of generations of children, creating a sense of adventure and excitement. At a time when Britain was the worlds great industrial and maritime power toy boats were as fascinating to children as computer games are today.
In May 2010 the National Maritime Museum
(NMM) launches Toy Boats. The exhibition features over 100 toys, games, catalogues and photographs to reveal how the craze for all things maritime drove toy companies to make toy boats of every size and description.
The exhibition explores the range of toy boats made by European manufacturers from 1850 to 1950, a period marked by rapid advances in maritime technology. As nations raced each other to build bigger and better ships, toy makers were swift to exploit the publicity and follow-up with toys that captured the spirit of these famous vessels. The methods used in toy-boat propulsion varied from twisted rubber bands and clockwork springs to fired-up burners producing steam, and early batteries. The show traces these developments through toy boats made by celebrated toy makers in Europe including Gerbrüder Bing, Marklin, Radiguet, Bassett-Lowke, Hornby and Sutcliffe.
Late 19th-century town planning introduced new parks with decorative ponds and fountains, which gave children a space to play with toy boats. This, along with the increase in family seaside holidays, created an appeal which inspired toy makers to compete in creating finer and more sophisticated ships, which also appealed to adults as collectors curios. Germany was the market leader and famous for quality tin toys which were exported around the world. Gerbrüder Bing, the worlds largest toy company, employed over 5000 people in its Nuremberg factory. France was Germanys biggest competitor with companies such as Radiguet renowned for making elegant beautifully finished vessels.
The exhibition looks at the way toy boats were marketed through advertising, packaging and catalogues. The advent of department stores, and their use of large plate-glass shop fronts, offered a new way to showcase merchandise and entice customers.
Archive film footage shows Ron McCrindell, a toy boat enthusiast who has amassed one of the finest collections in the UK, sharing his passion for these miniature vessels.
Kristian Martin, curator of the exhibition said: These miniature boats are a glimpse into a bygone era when every town had a boating lake and children learnt about Britain as a maritime nation through toy boats. They also tell of a rapidly changing world and the developments in technology in childrens toys.'

Asphalt milling machine teeth are essential components of road construction and maintenance equipment. They are responsible for cutting and removing the top layer of asphalt pavement, preparing the surface for resurfacing or repair.
The efficiency and effectiveness of the milling process largely depend on the quality and design of the asphalt milling machine teeth we will explore the key features of asphalt milling machine teeth that make them indispensable for road construction and maintenance.
By choosing the right road milling teeth for asphalt and concrete with these features, construction professionals can ensure smooth and effective milling operations, leading to well-maintained roads and enhanced overall project outcomes.
Here are the features of asphalt milling machine teeth so that you will be satisfied that why you should go ahead with road milling teeth for asphalt and concrete:
One of the most critical features of asphalt milling machine teeth is the material used in their construction. High-quality teeth are typically made from carbide, a durable and wear-resistant material that can withstand the harsh conditions of asphalt milling.
Carbide teeth are known for their excellent hardness and toughness, ensuring they can handle the abrasiveness of asphalt surfaces without wearing down quickly.
The design of asphalt milling machine teeth plays a crucial role in their performance. Teeth with the right design can effectively cut through asphalt surfaces, maximizing efficiency and productivity. Common tooth designs include conical, flat, and radial patterns. Conical teeth are ideal for removing thick layers of asphalt, while flat teeth are suitable for fine milling and leveling. Radial teeth, on the other hand, are versatile and can handle various milling tasks.
Another important feature of asphalt milling machine teeth is their cutting width. The cutting width determines the amount of material the teeth can remove in a single pass. Wider cutting widths are preferred for large-scale milling projects as they allow for faster and more efficient milling. However, for precision milling or milling in tight spaces, narrower cutting widths are more suitable.
The tooth holder system is the mechanism that holds the milling machine teeth in place. It is essential to have a reliable and secure tooth holder system to prevent the teeth from coming loose during milling operations. Quick-change tooth holders are popular in modern asphalt milling machines as they allow for fast and easy tooth replacement.
The versatility of asphalt milling machine teeth is of utmost importance as it enables them to effectively tackle diverse asphalt surfaces and handle various milling tasks with ease. A wide-ranging versatility allows these teeth to mill through both soft and hard asphalt materials without any compromise on their performance.
Moreover, their ability to adapt to different weather and environmental conditions ensures that their cutting ability remains unaffected, guaranteeing consistent and efficient milling operations.
The abrasive nature of asphalt surfaces can cause rapid wear and tear on milling machine teeth. Therefore, good-quality asphalt milling machine teeth should have excellent wear resistance to maintain their cutting performance over an extended period. Teeth with wear-resistant coatings or treated surfaces are preferred for long-lasting performance.
The consideration of cost-effectiveness holds paramount importance in the selection of asphalt milling machine teeth. While teeth of superior quality may entail a relatively higher initial investment, their enhanced performance, and extended lifespan often translate to substantial long-term cost savings.
Opting for durable and efficient teeth can lead to a notable reduction in maintenance and replacement expenses, making them a wise and prudent investment in the long run.
Asphalt milling machine teeth are vital components that significantly impact the efficiency and productivity of road construction and maintenance projects. The features discussed above, such as material quality, tooth design, cutting width, tooth holder system, versatility, wear resistance, and cost-effectiveness, are essential considerations when selecting asphalt milling machine teeth.


"Do not try to saw sawdust"
3년 전
Rule 6: Bury our dead
he phrase we will not saw sawdust in itself means that the things that are already done can not be modified or made again so that we can go around and try to solve what is already established and only exists in our minds, becoming only history that is our power to learn from it or to continue with useless attempts to fix it.
At this moment I remember a phrase you could say that we often comment in my family that "What is done, done" or "What happened last" among others.
So we do not submit to an ordeal of worries for long months that will only bring us diseases, do not think about things we have done and wish we had done them in a better way or in a different way and regret about it.
What do we get out thinking about that?
Nothing Truth, therefore "We never cry about spilled milk", instead we have the courage and the will to be able to save that milk with a little attention and care, however it is too late to be able to make something when it is already spilled, the only prudent and best we can erase it and forget it to move on to the next step:
"Improve our mistakes"
Since: "If a person is not making mistakes is that he is not innovating, and if a person is making the same mistakes is that he is not learning anything"
In short, we learn from those mistakes and stop suffering from the spilled milk, we project against each other plans for the future doing things in which we are better, because that alone will bring us true happiness, always looking forward to repair our damage. And in any case, all the powers of the world are not capable of fixing what already belongs to the past.
Let's remember:
"Do not try to saw sawdust"

Remote Training Site Warner Springs, CA
Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape [SERE] training is conducted at the US Navy's Remote Training Site in Warner Springs, CA. West Coast Navy/Marine Corps personnel who risk capture during wartime (e.g. aviators) undergo SERE training at the Remote Naval Training Facility in Warner Springs, CA.
The students gain the knowledge and confidence necessary to survive in a hostile environment until rescued. SERE instructions covers dealing with fatigue, fear, hunger, thirst, temperature, pain and boredom. The students are divided into elements, and spend days practicing map reading, navigation, fire building, water procurement and shelter building.
The students learn about survival techniques in an outdoor, hands-on environment. They learned different water procurement and purification techniques, constructed solar stills, and setup transpiration bags for water collection. They identified and ate edible plants. They also learned how to trap small game and field dress a rabbit for cooking and eating. They construct shelters with parachute material and camp out overnight in them. Students learn how to start fires using a variety of fire starting tools and techniques, and practice ground to air signalling using ground panels and Navy smoke flares.
Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape Camp is located in a remote area near the community of Warner Springs in the northeastern San Diego County at an elevation of about 3200 feet. The Camp consist of a headquarters area with an administrative building, several staff barracks building, a wastewater treatment plant, and a training compound.
SERE Camp is a hundred percent dependent upon two wells for its water supply: Main Well (Well No. 1) and backup well (Well No. 2). The camp has no water supply connections with any other water systems. Storage at the camp is provided by the following three water storage tanks: 5,000 gallons raw water storage tank, 1,000 gallon hydro-pneumatic tank, and a 42,000 gallon bolted steel water storage tank.

You can tell it's a method because it's on the right side of the message call. In objective-c it's [object method] or [Class method]. If you are confusing properties, you have to remember that properties are just sugar. – Paul Jul 20 '12 at 15:51

If you're talking about using init in documentation or some other place where you're describing the method, you can prefix it with a - if it's an instance method or a + if it's a class method. If the method takes parameters, leave them out and just concatenate the different parts of the method name, like: -initWithNibName:bundle: or +colorWithRed:green:blue:alpha:. Don't leave the colons out, though -- they're part of the selector. For example, you might write:
One way to create a color is by calling UIColor's +colorWithRed:green:blue:alpha: method.
Sometimes people include both the class name and method name, prefixed with the appropriate character and wrapped in square brackets:
One way to initialize a view controller is with -[UIViewController initWithNibName:bundle:].
That's not really a correct use of Objective-C syntax -- you'd never actually call a method like that -- but it conveys three important pieces of information: type of method (class or instance), class, and selector.
In code, of course, you don't need to do anything special to indicate what kind of identifier it is. Just use the method name in an appropriate context and the compiler will figure it out:
UIColor *color = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.5 green:0.5 blue:0.9 alpha:1.0];
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

I will typically use +[NSString stringWithString:] and -[NSString initWithString:], unless there is enough context to omit the + or - and class (then I would reduce it to stringWithString: and initWithString:).

Terminology: It's not a method name, it's a message name, aka selector.
To your question: it's obvious from the syntax, message sends always take the form [receiver message_with_parameters], where receiver is an expression (it may be another [...]), so anything after receiver is a selector (that is, what you call method name). In case of selector without params, it is just its name (like is the case with [[Class alloc] init], in case of of selector with params, it looks like [3 between: 1 and: 5].
Or is your problem somewhere else? The question was a bit unclear.

In that case, use'method Xxx' or use the '- selector' and '+ selector' syntax of Objective-C used to distinguish between instance and class methods. – herby Jul 20 '12 at 15:36

Abu Dhabi Public Recreational Areas get Revamped
The Abu Dhabi City Municipality said it has completed four recreation projects in the city's residential neighbourhoods, including parks, playgrounds, irrigation networks, pumping stations and reservoirs to upgrade the capital's infrastructure.
The projects are divided into four contracts, the first being the parks and infrastructure rehabilitation project in the Mainland as part of phase VI, where water leakage detectors, irrigation water efficiency measuring instruments, and main network pressure meters were installed. This project also aimed at lowering the groundwater level in Al Shamkha, Sector 26, rehabilitating fountains, replacing tiles, floor and lighting.
The second project included constructing various multi-use parks in residential neighbourhoods in Abu Dhabi and building additional playgrounds in Shakhboot city, Al Asema Park, and Hamad Special Needs Center, in addition to landscaping works in other areas in Abu Dhabi.
The third completed project was the parks and infrastructure rehabilitation project on Abu Dhabi Island, which included rehabilitation of infrastructure, installation of irrigation water flow meters, reservoirs, pumping stations, and irrigation networks. It also included fencing and landscaping a national institution, planting two hedge barriers along Street 29 in Al Muroor area and Sheikh Zayed Road in Abu Dhabi.
The fourth completed project was the rehabilitation of parks and infrastructure in Abu Dhabi Island, which included maintenance and rehabilitation of the sewage plant in the Abu Dhabi Corniche. It also includes the installation of irrigation network control, efficiency and pressure meters, and the rehabilitation of IP63 irrigation water station, besides supplying some areas in Abu Dhabi with irrigation water.

There is a property in the "%COLLATION_HOME%\etc\collation.properties" file that improves readability of the logs by separating the logging into per-sensor log files.
To enable this, set the following property:
If you do not set this property to true, default logging for all sensors is dumped in "%COLLATION_HOME%\log\services\DiscoveryManager.log". This property separates the logs into the following directories: "%COLLATION_HOME%\log\sensors\\sensorName-IP.log" ex: sensors/20070621131259/SessionSensor-10.199.21.104.log The runid includes the date of the discovery run and the log file name includes the sensor name and IP address of the target. When using this option, the logs are not automatically cleared, this must be done manually, if required.
The following logging levels are valid:
Setting the logging level for the Topology JVM to DEBUG can cause performance problems on some systems. You should set the level for this JVM to DEBUG only when you need to debug storage errors or other topology issues. If a problem takes more than a few minutes to reproduce, more space should be allocated for the Topology logs. Review the following properties in the collation.properties file, and increase the values of these properties as needed:
# File size of a rollover log file com.collation.log.filesize=20MB Number of logfiles before rollover com.collation.log.filecount=5
When all the space is used as allocated by the values of these properties, the oldest data is deleted. A common setting for most issues is to set the global logging level to DEBUG and set the logging level for the Topology JVM to INFO, as shown in the following example:

What is a Freeman maple? It's a hybrid blend of two other maple species that offers the best qualities of both. If you are considering growing Freeman maple trees, read on for tips on how to grow a Freeman maple and other Freeman maple information.
Freeman Maple Information
So, what is a Freeman maple? Freeman maple (Acer x freemanii) is a large shade tree that resulted from a cross between red and silver maple trees (A. rubrum x A. saccharinum). The hybrid has inherited the top qualities from each of these species. According to Freeman maple information, the tree gets its attractive form and blazing fall color from its red maple parent. Its rapid growth and broad soil tolerance are attributable to the silver maple. Growing Freeman maple trees is not difficult if you live in a region with a cool or cold winter. The tree thrives in USDA plant hardiness zones 3 through 7. Before you decide to start growing Freeman maple trees, you need to know that this hybrid can rise to a height of between 45 and 70 feet (14-21 m.). It does not require extensive Freeman maple care, although you'll need to know a few important factors.
How to Grow a Freeman Maple
It's best to start growing Freeman maple trees in full sun locations to get the best fall foliage displays. On the other hand, the soil type is less important. For optimal Freeman maple care, give the tree rich, well-draining soil, but it tolerates both dry and wet locations. Where to plant Freeman maples in your landscape? They make good specimen trees. They also work well as street trees. Remember that the species, in general, has thin and easily damaged bark. That means that the tree bark can suffer from frost as well as sunscald. Good Freeman maple care includes using tree guards to protect young transplants during the first few winters. Another potential issue in Freeman maple care is their shallow root systems. Roots can rise to the surface of the soil as these maples mature. This means that transplanting a mature tree may be dangerous to its health. When you are considering growing Freeman maple trees, you'll need to pick a cultivar. Many are available and offer different forms and features. The cultivar 'Armstrong' is a good one to consider if you want an upright tree. Another upright cultivar is 'Scarlet Sunset.' Both 'Autumn Blaze' and 'Celebration' are more compact. The former offers crimson fall color, while the latter's leaves turn golden yellow.

What Does Fox Scat Look Like?
Because foxes are nocturnal and avoid people, homeowners typically discover fox poop long before catching a glimpse of the animal itself. Fox scat can look like scat of other pests, so proper identification is important. Fox droppings are similar to coyote scat, only smaller. Usually, their feces are tan or brown and about two to three inches long with pointy ends. A fox's variable diet affects the look of its feces, so waste may contain bones, hair, insects, and pieces of fruit or seeds.
Hazards of Fox Feces
While foxes themselves can spread diseases like rabies and mange, contact with their droppings is equally as dangerous. It is not unusual for fox scat to contain tapeworms and roundworms. Additionally, these parasites and their eggs contaminate the soil beneath fox poop, as well. In addition to carrying a number of diseases that can infect people and pets, foxes may become aggressive if threatened. If you suspect a fox has taken residence on your property, Contact Us at Critter Control of Salt Lake City for professional removal!


Membership of the organizations
Introduction to the APICAD
The APICAD (International Association for the Promotion of the Online Intercomprehension) is a non-profit association under the French law (law 1901) that manages a web portal and a network of teachers and researchers.
This association was created to insure the continuation of the accomplished works made by the European network Miriadi: maintenance of the web portal, network activity, structure of language trainings. The specificity of the multilingual trainings made by the APICAD is that they are online and in networking groups: different classes in other countries with other languages where people work all together in a given time and make collective publications. However each class is free to adjust the terms and conditions of the online training to its own aims and priorities and consequently it is responsible for it.
Why join the APICAD?
 - To support a teaching method adapted to the needs of this era in languages and in digital literacy;
 - To receive a teaching experience of the members' network that has already more than 10 years and was developed on platforms such as Galanet and Galapro;
 - Because the trainings proposed generate excellent performances on languages learning and on the acquisition of the digital literacy;
 - Because the financial cost of these trainings could be quite low compared to traditional trainings whilst being effective as well;
 - To promote a democratic approach of multilingualism and intercultural exchanges;
Which organization could join the APICAD?
The association offers freely this training disposal at all the training bodies that want it.
These organizations could join the APICAD through the payment of a subscription of 50 €. Thus, they become a member of the APICAD's life naming three people each to represent them. Also, these people will benefit freely from the participation of scientific events organized by the APICAD as well as the free registration to special trainings.

Differential pattern of functional brain plasticity after compassion and empathy trainingPublished on June 04, 2013
Although empathy is crucial for successful social interactions, excessive sharing of others' negative emotions may be maladaptive and constitute a
source of burnout. To investigate functional neural plasticity underlying the augmentation of empathy and to test the counteracting potential of
compassion, one group of participants was first trained in empathic resonance and subsequently in compassion. In response to videos depicting
human suffering, empathy training, but not memory training (control group), increased negative affect and brain activations in anterior insula and
anterior midcingulate cortex-brain regions previously associated with empathy for pain.
In contrast, subsequent compassion training could reverse the increase in negative effect and, in contrast, augment self-reports of positive affect. In addition, compassion training increased activations in a nonoverlapping brain network spanning ventral striatum, pregenual anterior cingulate cortex and medial orbitofrontal cortex. We conclude that training compassion may reflect a new coping strategy to overcome empathic distress and strengthen resilience.

Jankowski, Martin Sanchez: Islands in the Street
Kirsten Hutzell & Kelly Welch
American gangs have been long identified as troublesome and socially undesirable elements of society. Negative perceptions of gangs permeate the consciousness of members of the public, government officials, and media outlets. As such, Martin Sanchez Jankowski attempted to improve public understanding of gangs by examining uncharted territory with Islands in the Street, which offers a contemporary ethnography of juvenile gangs and represents a considerable departure from previous explorations of gang behavior. Winning "best book" awards from the American Sociological Association in 1992 and the Society for the Study of Social Problems in 1993, Jankowski predicted that gangs were groups with different social organizational patterns rather than disorganized elements of society, which was an uncommon approach to the subject matter. As part of a 10-year field study, Jankowski immersed himself in the environment of 37 urban street gangs of varying size, ethnic composition, and purpose. Using informal interviews and participant...

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Food Authentication: Techniques, Trends and Emerging Approaches)
In the present work the mineral content and volatile profile of prickly pear juice prepared from wild cultivars was investigated. Fruits used in the study originated from three areas of the Peloponnese Peninsula. Twenty-five macro- and micro-minerals (K, Na, P, Ca, Mg, Al, B, Ba, Be, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Sb, Se, Si, Sn, Ti, Tl, V, Zn) were determined using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Furthermore, analysis of the mineral content of soil samples with ICP-OES showed a perfect correlation with those of fruit juices. Volatile compounds (alcohols, aldehydes, hydrocarbons, terpenoids, and others) were identified using an optimized headspace solid phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS) method. Multivariate analysis showed significant differences (p < 0.05) among the investigated parameters with respect to juice geographical origin. Prickly pear juice samples were classified according to geographical origin by 85.7% and 88.9% using 7 minerals and 21 volatile compounds, respectively.

4. Firing ranges are found in open terrain and near home stations. Ranges in open
terrain usually have the vegetation removed and a clear field of fire; furthermore, there is a
control tower. They are easily recognized. On the other hand, ranges near home stations
are usually scaled ranges to reduce the rising cost of ammunition, fuel, and spare parts.
The following examples are typical ranges.
a. The standard rifle marksmanship field firing range consists of approximately 35
firing lanes, each lane has a fighting position (foxhole), stump, and sandbags. There are
three rows or banks of targets, one bank is located at a range of 75 m, the second at 175

The solvgrid program creates bulk (or receptor) and explicit (or ligand) desolvation grids using the occupancy desolvation method (Luty et. al., J. Comp. Chem, 1995; Verkhiver et. al., J. Mol. Recog., 1999). The occupancy desolvation method is phenomenonlogical in nature where desolvation energy can be described pairwise additively. The desolvation energy due to interaction between a ligand atom and receptor atom can be calculated as the solvent affinity of a ligand atom weighted by the volume of the solvent displaced from the receptor atom due to binding and vice versa. Thus,
 Edsol = Si øDES,EXPL(xi) + fi øDES,BULK(xi)
Where the mobile atom i, has a solvation affinity of Si and a fragmental volume of fi. The solvent affinity of the ligand atom is calculated as:
Where qi is the charge on the ligand atom i, and alpha and beta are constants set at alpha = 0.25 kcal/mol and beta = -0.005 kcal/mol. fi is the volume of ligand atom i, calculated from the amber radius of the ligand atom. For the receptor, these can be precalculated and stored on a grid. øDES,BULK(xi) and øDES,EXPL(xi) are interpolated from grids calculated using the solvgrid program during docking. It requires the calculation of two separate grids:
where j is a rigid receptor atom, and Sj and fj are the solvent affinity and the fragmental volume of the receptor atom respectively. Bulk and explicit desolvation grids are calculated from fj and Sj at grid points p, distance rjp from the receptor atom multiplied by gaussian weighting of the distance. The solvgrid program calculates these grids from the charge and the volume of the receptor atoms.
USAGE: solvgrid

Nodal Load
Glossary Term
There are various load types that can be applied to a structural model. If a nodal load is defined, the load acts individually on a define node. It can be defined for each of the six degrees of freedom (force or moment) independently of each other.
The load can be entered by component (with regard to the respective coordinate system) or by direction (for example, rotated about a certain axis).
Nodal forces act positively if the load arrows point in the directions of the positive axes of the respective coordinate axes system.
The positive nodal moments act by right-hand twist about the corresponding positive global axis. In the program, the directions of the loads are displayed in the dialog box of the load entry in a preview picture.
Entering in RFEM and RSTAB
Nodal loads can be entered and defined in RFEM and RSTAB graphically by clicking 'Insert' → 'Loads' → 'Nodal Loads' → 'Graphically' or the corresponding button, or in tables using the Data navigator.

A major collection of works on paper by one of the world's most influential contemporary artists is on show at the DELL Gallery @ QCA until September 8.
SIGMAR POLKE: Music from an Unknown Source brings together a series of 40 gouaches, all produced in 1996, making for a rich insight into Polke's wider practice.
Polke was born in Silesia (then East Germany, now Poland) in 1941 and studied art at the Staatliche Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf under Joseph Beuys between 1961 and 1967.
Along with fellow students Gerhard Richter and Konrad Fischer, he was a founding member of the pop-inspired 'Capital Realist' style of art, which depicted objects of desire from advertising and news sources.
Since the 1960s, Polke's work has resisted easy definition, the results of which can be unexpected, ironic, humorous and whimsical.
In the gouaches of this exhibition, Polke makes the dripping and flowing of paint his theme, originating from the character of the watery gouaches. The controlled and uncontrolled 'allowing to happen' of physical phenomena plays an important role for him.
Music from an Unknown Source is an international touring exhibition, developed by the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (IFA) in Germany and presented in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut Sydney.
DELL Gallery @ QCA is the only venue in Queensland to host the exhibition before it tours overseas.

Application of horizontal screw decanter centrifuge and its working principle and parameters
Jun 26, 2019
Horizontal screw decanter centrifugee, which may be called horizontal screw decanter centrifuge, is a specific type of centrifuge, and it is used in some industries and fields, so it needs to be familiar and understood. How to use it correctly and reasonably, to make full use of the product and avoid waste.
1. Application industry and application range of horizontal screw decanter centrifuge
Food industry: slag removal in juice production, de-soy of soy protein, dehydration of peanut protein, scouring of animal and vegetable oils, and dehydration of fishmeal and bone glue.
Petrochemical industry: grading of older soils, grading of drilled mud, clarification of sulphuric acid, clarification of coal tar, and dehydration of dyes and barium sulphate.
Environmental protection industry: industrial abrasives, wine tanks, power plant sludge, dewatering of paper mill sludge, beer industry wastewater and steel smelting wastewater treatment.
2. Working principle of horizontal screw decanter centrifuge
The working principle of the horizontal screw decanter centrifugeis specifically: when the mixed liquid to be separated enters the centrifuge drum, the solid phase particles with a larger specific gravity in the mixed liquid are deposited on the rotating drum under the action of centrifugal force. On the inner wall, the solid phase particles are scraped off and exited from the slag discharge port by a spiral blade that moves relative to the drum, and the supernatant liquid obtained after the separation flows out of the drum through the opening of the raft, thereby achieving solid-liquid separation.
In this type of centrifuge, the relative movement between the screw and the drum is realized by a differential, the outer casing of the differential is connected to the drum, the output shaft is connected to the screw, and the input shaft and the secondary motor are connected. connection. Therefore, while the main motor electric drum rotates, it also drives the rotation of the differential housing, and drives the planetary gear to operate, and transmits the torque to the spiral according to a certain ratio, so as to achieve continuous separation of materials.
3. Working parameters of horizontal screw decanter centrifuge
Horizontal screw decanter centrifuge This kind of centrifuge has corresponding working parameters, and the user can determine the appropriate parameters according to the material properties of the suspension, the liquid phase and solid phase requirements after separation, and the processing capacity of the centrifuge. The value is to ensure that the centrifuge has good use and quality of work. In the specific working parameters, there are such parameters as the processing volume, the rotating drum speed, the difference between the rotating drum and the spiral, and the diameter of the overflow plate. After determining the appropriate value, the centrifuge can have a good separation effect. _URL_


Cedar Breaks
Deposition at Cedar Breaks started about 60 million years ago. The plateau that Cedar Breaks is currently located on was much lower than it is today. During this time, the area was completely covered by a lake. This lake became known as Lake Claron. The lake was 70 miles wide and 250 miles long. Surrounding highlands began to erode away and these sediments were carried away by wind and water into LakeClaron. These sediments settled at the bottom of this lake. Algae that naturally lived in the lake would eventually die forming a paste that cemented all the sediments together to form the sedimentary rock that is visible at Cedar Breaks today. The sedimentary rock visible at Cedar Breaks is limestone. The colors visible in the rock come from various amounts of oxidized irons (red and orange hues) and manganese (purple hues). This entire formation became known as the Claron formation or Pink Cliffs.
Cedar Breaks is located near a major fault known as the Hurricane fault. This fault is 100 miles long and runs parallel to I-15. It became very active about 10 million years ago, raising the LakeClaron bed to its current elevation of 10,350 feet above sea level. The Hurricane fault is known as a normal fault. The fault is still active today, but because it moves at such a slow rate, it is hard for one to notice the movement.
Ever since the rocks were uplifted, they became exposed to the various erosion elements. There are three types of erosion apparent at Cedar Breaks: chemical, water, and wind erosion.

Asian Self-Employment: The Interaction of Culture and Economics in England
Self-employment has grown disproportionately amongst South Asians. Today, one third of Asian men in paid employment are self-employed, compared to one fifth of white men. In some parts of the UK, Asian businesses are expanding more rapidly than those of any other group. Yet these positive trends mask a more complex and less optimistic picture than is commonly painted. There are sharp differences in levels of business success between various groups in the Asian community, and indications suggest that the remarkable growth seen over recent decades is losing its momentum, as the first generation British Asians encourage their children to move into professional and salaried careers.
This study offers, for the first time, a detailed comparison of different Asian communities, and challenges the common assumption that all Asian groups can be regarded as the same. Amongst its findings, it identifies:
- ways in which culture and religion could impact on entry into self-employment, on the development of the business and on satisfaction with self-employment
- how negative factors such as racism at work and 'dead-end jobs' have led to increased levels of self-employment
- barriers to success in business, and how specific problems are more prevalent amongst specific Asian groups
- the need to target assistance, and
- evidence that Asian self-employment may not continue at its current high rates.

The definition of a definite integral:
requires the interval [a,b] be finite. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus requires that f be continuous on [a,b]. In this section, you will be studying a method of evaluating integrals that fail these requirements—either because their limits of integration are infinite, or because a finite number of discontinuities exist on the interval [a,b]. Integrals that fail either of these requirements are improper integrals. (If you are not familiar with L'Hôpital's rule, it is a good idea to review it before reading this section.)
Improper Integrals with Infinite Limits of Integration
Consider the integral
Assigning a finite upper bound in place of infinity gives
This improper integral can be interpreted as the area of the unbounded region between, (the -axis), and.
1. Suppose exists for all. Then we define
- = as long as this limit exists and is finite.
If it does exist we say the integral is convergent and otherwise we say it is divergent.
2. Similarly if exists for all we define
3. Finally suppose is a fixed real number and that and are both convergent. Then we define
We claim that
To do this we calculate
We claim that the integral
This follows as
To calculate the integral use integration by parts twice to get
Now and because exponentials overpower polynomials, we see that and as well. Hence,
Notice that we had to assume that to avoid dividing by zero. However the case was done in a previous example.
Improper Integrals with a Finite Number Discontinuities
First we give a definition for the integral of functions which have a discontinuity at one point.
Definition of improper integrals with a single discontinuity
If f is continuous on the interval [a,b) and is discontinuous at b, we define :=
If the limit in question exists we say the integral converges and otherwise we say it diverges.
Similarly if f is continuous on the interval(a,b] and is discontinuous at a, we define
Finally suppose f has an discontinuity at a point c in (a,b) and is continuous at all other points in [a,b]. If and converge we define
Notice that we had to assume that do avoid dividing by zero. So instead we do the case separately,
The integral is improper because the integrand is not continuous at x=2. However had we not notice that we might have been tempted to apply the fundamental theorem of calculus and conclude that it equals
which is not correct. In fact the integral diverges since
and and both diverge.
We can also give a definition of the integral of a function with a finite number of discontinuities.
Definition: Improper integrals with finite number of discontinuities
Suppose f is continuous on [a,b] except at points in [a,b]. We define as long as each integral on the right converges.
Notice that by combining this definition with the definition for improper integrals with infinite endpoints, we can define the integral of a function with a finite number of discontinuities with one or more infinite endpoints.
There are integrals which cannot easily be evaluated. However it may still be possible to show they are convergent by comparing them to an integral we already know converges.
Theorem (Comparison Test) Let f and g be continuous functions defined for all.
- Suppose for all. Then if converges so does
- Suppose for all. Then if diverges so does
A similar theorem holds for improper integrals of the form and for improper integrals with discontinuities.
Show that converges.
For all x we know that so. This implies that
We have seen that converges. So putting and into the comparison test we get that the integral converges as well.
Show that diverges.
Just as in the previous example we know that for all x. Thus
We have seen that diverges. So putting and into the comparison test we get that diverges as well.
An extension of the comparison theorem
To apply the comparison theorem you do not really need for all. What we actually need is this inequality holds for sufficiently large x (i.e. there is a number c such that for all ). For then
so the first integral converges if and only if third does, and we can apply the comparison theorem to the piece.
Show that converges.
The reason that this integral converges is because for large x the factor in the integrand is dominant. We could try comparing with, but as, the inequality
is the wrong way around to show convergence.
Instead we rewrite the integrand as
Since the limit we know that for x sufficiently large we have. So for large x,
Since the integral converges the comparison test tells us that converges as well.

LOWELL, Mich. — It doesn't attract as many tourists as Italy's Ponte Vecchio, but Lowell's Main Street Bridge bears a certain similarity to that 14th-century pedestrian span over the Arno River in Florence.
Lowell's bridge, barely 100 years old (remember, folks, I wrote this story in 1979!), not only links separate halves of the Kent County town but serves as a retail district for its 3,000 residents.
The Ponte Vecchio is lined with small stalls specializing in jewelry and souvenirs, while the Lowell structure supports two barbershops, a dress boutique, a television store and an auto-parts outlet.
A visitor intent on window-shopping here might not even notice that M-21, Lowell's main artery, crosses the Flat River 15 miles east of Grand Rapids. Facing the bridge, the stores extend north and south from Main Street and are supported by concrete and wood pilings planted in the river bottom.
Although a central location is important to merchants anywhere, it is difficult to understand why Lowell's pioneers erected shops over water, unless perhaps they anticipated a fire and wanted a ready source of water. That hasn't always been helpful, however.
An early wooden span was swept by fire in 1904. Shops were rebuilt in the same locations, but a year later the Grand River backed up over a wide region of western Michigan and forced tributaries such as the Flat to rise so forcibly that sections of the bridge were torn away. Historians cannot determine why Lowell's elders constructed stores along the bridge in the first place, then rebuilt there after two disasters.
One explanation is that in the 1880′s real estate prices were relatively high, so some merchants chose sites where they would not need land titles. Another guess goes like this: In the mid-19th century the Flat River was a narrow, shallow, fast-running stream, but just before the Civil War grain millers began damming it for a source of power. One dam went in where the bridge now stands (and a successor mill remains there). As the water level rose, shopkeepers who had built close to the embankment faced gradual flooding and either moved their stores or put pilings under the buildings.
Despite all the water below, a big mill was gutted by fire in 1943. In 1958, six stores and a tavern burned out. Nor is fire the only hazard.
In 1955, old pilings under the Kroger store collapsed from rot and caused the entire sugar stock to float away in the Flat.
Some shops could become a nuisance to the millers, too. At the turn of the (20th) century, the owner of a produce store sold bananas picked from tough, many-branched stems. When these were empty, he tossed them out a back window into the river, forcing a nearby mill to open its dam, lower the river and remove the debris from turbine machinery every few weeks.
Norton Avery, who operated a photographic studio on the bridge before World War I, recalls sending an assistant to the front door to make sure no horse-drawn carriages were approaching when he was about to make portraits. The vibration of buggies on the plank roadway of that era caused his equipment to tremble and could ruin his pictures, he said.
Now 85, Avery (again, recall I wrote this in 1979; Norton Avery is either very old or very dead) saw his former shop razed recently, after its roof began sagging away from an adjacent building toward the river.
But enough others survive to make a trip to Lowell an interesting diversion for tourists.

USDA-ARS Malting Barley Breeding in Idaho
Malting barley production in the western United States was dominated by two-rowed varieties introduced from Europe until the release of the variety Klages in 1973. There are numerous reasons for this, but two stand out. Breeding programs focused on feed varieties during prohibition so it was some time before they were able to incorporate the desired malting and brewing quality into varieties adapted to the region. Secondly, 90% of the malt US brewers were using in the 1950s was made from six-row varieties, so European two-row varieties like Betzes from Poland, Moravian from Czechoslovakia, and Piroline from Germany were able to supply the industry with all the two-row it needed.

text: Abstract：With the depletion of shallow mineral resources, many open pits have been already or shall soon be switched to underground mining. The safety design of open pit stoppage combined with the opening of underground mine involves many problems. In this paper, FLAC3D is used to systematically analyze the rock layer movement and deformation. Surface displacements of ore-bodies II and IV at different mining levels are discussed. With the determination of parameters of rock layer movements, the open pit slope stability of Yongping copper mine is analyzed. The corresponding movement characteristics of rock mass, maximal vertical and horizontal displacements as well as rock movement angles are obtained. Results show that the influence of ore-body II on the rock layer movement is far greater than that of ore-body IV. The maximum vertical and horizontal displacements all occur in the rock mass located on the eastern slope of ore-body II. The reasonable mining sequence should be ore-body IV first and ore-body II second. A part of the model area is in the state of breakage and limit stability. However, the open pit slope is in an integral stability state as the mining advances. It is shown that the filling method used in the next stage in the mine is feasible. The rock layer movement during the open pit stoppage combined with the opening of the underground mine, simulated by using FLAC3D, gives a true picture of the stress and displacement states of the rock mass.

Integrated water strategies provide sustainable, place-based solutions to the water needs of a new, self-sustaining, mixed-use development and its broader, ecological community.
In the foothills of the Pioneer Mountains and adjacent to the city of Hailey, ID is the future home of Quigley Farm. Envisioned not just as a community development, but as a way to genuinely develop community, Quigley Farm aims to be a self-sustaining neighborhood that will produce sustainable economic, social, and environmental benefits to the greater community of Hailey. The 1,500-acre development will incorporate housing, organic food production, commercial space, a hotel, an agricultural center, and an ecologically-centered school.
Biohabitats was a key member of the master planning team, which was led by SERA Architects and included the Regenesis Group. Guided by the input of stakeholders and the site's ecology, culture, and history, the team delivered a plan for a community that sits lightly on the land, restores soils damaged by past agricultural practices, and ultimately enhances the natural function of the site.
To help achieve this vision, Biohabitats designed the community's integrated water infrastructure and worked closely with ownership and the design team to evaluate alternatives and select infrastructure to benefit the development and surrounding community. Working with both local and state regulators, Biohabitats helped educate stakeholders on the benefits of an integrated system to manage water resources, which included a wastewater recycling facility to treat the community's wastewater. The system, consisting of four wetland cells with underground tanks and trickling filters, treats all wastewater and repurposes it for use in commercial toilet flushing, landscape irrigation, agricultural irrigation, and snowmaking.
