Introduction to Gantt Charts: A Tool For Everyone Part Two
Gantt Chart Example
Notably, I have changed the colors a bit so we can see some flexible or slack time in the completion in WBS 1.4. I also added a milestone at the end of week 8 / beginning of week 9.
What is slack time?
In any project, some tasks need to be completed by a specified time. Here, WBS 1.4 needs to be completed at the same time as WBS 1.3. It does not take as long as WBS 1.3 and is planned to start at the same time. That means the completion time is flexible: it could be completed as early as the end of week 8, or as late as the end of week 10. Based on the chart, it does not depend on anything to set its start time.
It can be difficult to decide when to start a task with slack time. That is not really a big deal here. The point is, that WBS 1.3 and WBS 1.4 need to be done at the same time.
What is a milestone?
Milestones are zero-duration items in the chart that show dates of important events. Here we have a progress presentation of some sort that is likely to show a major lack of progress! Milestones may reflect payments, meetings, demonstrations, or other events for the project. These are almost always "hard" dates that are difficult or impossible to change. In one project on which I worked, a milestone was a particular type of physical testing for a satellite payload. Missing that test could have delayed the launch or, more likely, prevented the payload from being carried on the satellite!
Milestones can also help teams plan other tasks. If some tasks need to be completed before a milestone, they would likely be part of a summary task ending at the time of the milestone.
How long does it take to finish?
In our example Summary Element 1 takes ten weeks to complete. We know that not just from the fact that it is drawn that way, but because WBS 1.2 starts at the beginning of the project (at the same time as WBS 1.1, WBS 1.3 cannot start until WBS 1.2 is completed, and WBS 1.2 takes three weeks and WBS 1.3 takes seven weeks. Since 7+3 = 10, that is our duration. The discovery of these limits is called critical path analysis. Some Gantt chart tools highlight a critical path in a different color than other tasks, often in red.
Do colors matter?
If you saw the chart in the first part of this discussion, you'd note that it used different colors. That was OK, but the need for a color to show the slack time caused me to re-color this chart. Different people and organizations set different rules for color use: one might require that activities performed by a particular team be in a particular color, for example. Personally, I like to use green for completed parts of tasks, and grey for flexible time. The green for "completed" makes it easy for me to see at a glance what is finished. I like red for critical paths and the arrows to show relationships as in this chart. I particularly like the dashed line used for "TODAY" in this chart.
What tools should I use?
When Henry Gantt described these charts around the turn of the 20th century, the charts were hand-drawn. Now virtually every project management software tool has a Gantt chart feature. Both Microsoft Project and OpenProject (the popular open source project management tool with many features in common with Microsoft Project) have Gantt chart capabilities, for example. There are also tools to make Gantt charts in Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice / LibreOffice Calc, and Google Sheets along with myriad standalone tools.
Gantt charts are one way to visualize and plan project completion. Timelines and PERT charts are two common alternatives. Gantt charts, however, have stood the test of time as a way to quickly visualize the completion and structure of projects.

The Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program's Marine Scoping Workshop was held at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources in Nuuk, Greenland November 5-7, 2019. The Program has been working with partners across the Arctic to enhance long-term marine biodiversity monitoring efforts, led by the Marine Steering Group. This culminated in the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Monitoring Plan (CBMP-Marine Plan) in 2011, followed in 2017 by the State of the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Report. This Marine Scoping Workshop was conducted to consider revisions to the CBMP-Marine Plan based on new information, key findings, expert advice, and national reports and to inform the development of a new coordinated plan for the program's next phase.
Megan Sheremata, 2019 IASC SHWG Fellow, participated on behalf of IASC (funded by a cross-cutting activity), and contributed input based on her research experience within Indigenous-led marine monitoring networks in the Hudson Bay Basin. Her input emphasized a knowledge co-production approach to monitoring, with greater emphasis on collaborative methodologies at all stages so that biodiversity assessments can better serve the information needs of Indigenous land-users and decision-makers. Megan has submitted a report to IASC leadership and the Marine Working Group, with recommendations for coordinating with the CBMP Marine Steering Group.

Use the WENE Application Builder for your own MySQL based developments!
Essentially WAB works like that:
 1. Specify a data model and define your table(s) in mySQL e.g. with the mySQL workbench or direct CREATE queries
 2. Define fields and there language dependent descriptions in function _wta_f
 3. For the main table define a business object header in WENE function _wbo_h
 4. Optionally connect joined tables with _wbo_joins to this business object
 5. Define frames and field definitions in _wbo_f
 6. Optionally create a hierarchy of business objects by defining sub business objects and connecting them to the parent business object in _wbo_f
 7. Define a function in _func, assign the function to an existing menu in _fma
… and you have built a function to maintain/display/upload/… MySQL table data in your new WENE application.
SQL queries and HMG processing functionality come in by macros assigned in the WAB functions.
Here the main business object (BO) is _DD_HEAD and the field mappings are defined in a sub business object _DD_FMAP.
Finally define your own WENE app in function _app and you have created a mySQL based application only or mostly with parametrization:
WENE app ab menu:
Of course this WebPage provides just a rough outline and not all parametrization tables available are mentioned.
WAB is a very powerful and flexible tool – it has to be, because all of WENE is built with it.

Project "Predictive Model of Industrial Employability"
The Chair of Management Accounting has received notification from the DFG that funding will be made available over the next 3 years for the intended project "Predictive Model of Industrial Employability". The project will be implemented jointly with the Chair of Production Metrology and Quality Management (Prof. Dr. Robert Schmitt).
The overarching objective is the development and testing of a Predictive Model of Industrial Employability (PMIE) that enables organisations to deduce organizational development (OD) interventions on the individual and organisational level. The proposed research project contributes to this objective by developing such a general model and by applying it to a representative sample of companies from the automotive and machine tool industries. If the model proves to be useful in these industries, the generalizability should be examined in further industries. This scientific approach is based on the idea of providing a practical theory and concrete artefacts to address technological and demographic challenges. It is meant to support organizations in facing the challenges that result from the on-going technological and demographic changes. These challenges include a general decrease in the size of the workforce of working age (16-67), an increase in workforce diversity, and the changing demands for competencies required of the workforce. Beyond already existing approaches, the PMIE is not limited to conceptual development. Instead, its assumptions are empirically tested to validate the model and to quantify the initially qualitative model.

Soaring Food Prices: One-Off Situation Or Structural Issue?

Soaring Food Prices: One-Off Situation Or Structural Issue?
The rise is food prices has not helped the farmers because the trade and middlemen reap the profits.

Soaring Food Prices: One-Off Situation Or Structural Issue?
In Bangalore, onion prices scaled to Rs 200 per kg and, in some Delhi markets, they ruled between Rs 120 and Rs 150 a kg. Garlic was over Rs 280 per kg in some markets. No wonder thefts of onion and garlic were reported from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana, among others.
On December 5, a small pick-up truck with 64 garlic bags worth Rs 200,000 was hijacked from Bihar's Kaimur district on the GT Road in the night. A day earlier, a Panipat retailer complained that 80 bags of garlic were stolen. In October, a vendor in Lucknow was robbed of onion, garlic and tomatoes.
Such incidents rose since September when the prices of these vegetables zoomed. Tomato prices calmed down to affordable levels, but onion and garlic continued their upward curves and angered the common man across the country.
Agriculture economist Dr Abhijit Sen attributes the high prices of several food crops to the poor kharif season this year. "The first advance estimate, based on area aerial survey alone, suggests that for most food crops the output will either be the same or less than last year," he explains. The second advance estimates (still awaited) will take into account the yields, and may be lower than the initial one. "So, probably on the outside there is a problem," concludes Sen.
He adds that crops like onion, which are localised, were impacted by local weather problems. Thus, the output in some items may be affected more than the others. This led to supply problems, which can only be overcome with time. "On the demand side, I don't see much problem as there is no rise in demand," feels Sen.
In the case of onions and pulses, India has supply links with neighbouring countries. The problem, therefore, intensified, but the demand remained more or less static. Besides the supply-side issues, higher costs contributed to a rise in retail prices.
Devendra Kumar Pant, Chief Economist, India Ratings & Research, states that the rise in inflation in the past few months was mainly from the food side. "Core inflation this year is still low, which shows that the (overall) demand conditions in the economic conditions are weak," explains Pant. He maintains that the current prices of vegetables, fruits and pulses responded to demand-supply situation.
In the case of pulses, we went through a cycle of low inflation and deflation for a year or two continuously. As the deflation cycle in pulses broke, we witnessed a bout of inflation. Food is more a story of demand and supply, according to Pant.
Alok Sheel, RBI Chair Professor, ICRIER, points out that in September and October, core consumer price index fell from 4 to 3.5%. But the overall index went up from 4.7 to 6.9%. "So, core CPI, which excludes food and fuel, fell. And the core CPI is more reflective of the demand trends," says Sheel. The fact is that core CPI and overall CPI moved in different directions.
Several economists emphasise that the current food inflation is a "one-off situation due to monsoon disturbances" and "output across different commodities", and not due to "structural issues". Anand Ramanathan, Partner, Deloitte India, is optimistic that there will be no disruptions in supplies leading to spikes. But in the case of onions and garlic, the spikes have happened. But they may get lower due to fresh supplies.
However, in the case of proteins, Pant cautions that given the change in our food pyramid with people consuming more proteins, both plant and animal, "they will trend towards higher prices". It will take time for the capacity to grow, particularly in dairy products, to fulfill the demand.
Dr Pronab Sen, Programme Director for the IGC India Programme, says earlier food items were practically at zero inflation and non-food ones grew at about 5 per cent or a bit more. But in the last three months, the scenario changed. And the non-food part of it has started coming down very rapidly.
"Non-food, which was nearly 5.5 per cent, came down to nearly 3 per cent. But food inflation spiked because of onions and tomatoes. If you go by the WPI (wholesale price index) there is some inflation," says the former chief statistician of India. With the kharif harvest still in progress, it is too early to say whether good or bad news is round the corner.
Some economists see bad news ahead. Madan Sabnavis, chief economist of CARE Ratings, says the current inflation will erode the consuming power of people. "Onions and pulses are two basic staples for vegetarians and the same holds for eggs and meat for non-vegetarians. With prices increasing by over 100 per cent on month-on-month basis, the consumption basket gets impacted and affects other spending (on discretionary items) and financial savings," he explains.
Does the rise in food prices signal good news for the farmers? The rise in food prices has not helped the farmers because the trade and middlemen reap the profits. This is evident from the fact that retail prices shot up higher than the wholesale ones. "What we have witnessed is farmers' distress because of negative food prices. But now what we could be looking at is non-agricultural distress as well," warns Pronab Sen.
There are distribution issues too. The fact of the matter is that given the small sizes of average farms, the farmers cannot come to the market yard on their own. Their meagre produce is not enough to justify high transportation costs. Hence, the aggregator, i.e. the trader who collects their produce at the farm gates, becomes a crucial cog. As there is only one trader to many farmers, the bargaining position is skewed in the former's favour.
"The retail market seems to be dominated by some kind of mafia. There seems to be some rigidity in the retail market in terms of pricing power. By now, commodity prices should be down. It's not as if we had abnormal rainfall this year, though there were disturbances here and there," says N R Bhanumurthy, professor, National Institute of Public Finance and Policy.
Given the past experiences, the government should have come up with contingency plans like imports of onions to bridge the shortfall. But there was some hesitancy to immediately import this year.

Can staircases usher in positivity?
Wide and well-lit staircases are auspicious feng shui as opposed to narrow and dingy ones
be curvy with solid stairs ( complete without hollow openings at the back). The openings between the stairs tend to fragment and dissipate the vital chi of the house. Wide and well-lit staircases are auspicious feng shui as opposed to narrow and dingy ones. Also, straight and spiral staircases, especially in the centre of your house are a big no-no in feng shui. They literally 'drill' a hole into the chi reserves. Depending on the map of your floor, a good cure would be to hang an appropriate wind chime at the base of the staircase. This can ground and stabilise these conflicting energies.
Place decorative art, paintings, family photographs etc on the wall that runs along the staircase. You can also add lush green plants alongside to help the chi circulate in the house.
Never leave the space below the staircase empty. Make a closet if you can and fill it up in an organised manner. However, placing a fountain, aquarium or a water feature browns and sandy yellows instead. They will bring in harmony into the house.
Ideally, staircases should have solid stairs (complete without hollow openings at the back) as the openings between the stairs tend to dissipate the vital chi of the house

The integrating power of the eye has been tested for short flashes of light, ranging in duration from 10-2 to 8 × 10-9 sec. The shorter flashes were produced by passing the image of the straight filament of an electric lamp across a narrow slit, the light having been reflected from a mirror mounted on an air-driven turbine. The longer flashes were produced by means of a sectored disk. In all cases the number of flashes received by the eye was great enought to avoid flicker and the intensity was well above that required to produce the sensation of vision. It was concluded that the response of the eye depends only upon the total amount of light in the beam and is independent of the length of the light flash. The limit of error was 1.5 percent.

The Keglacian culture thrived in the mountainous regions of Jorvyll north of the Evesque Valley. Their skill in stone working and stonemasonry was most likely put to use in the building of the Baleman. The majority of the Keglacians fled South to the Valley in the wake of the Earthquake of Fluyr in -75 EC.
With them they brought their songs, epic poetry, and sports including hoopkah. While much of the poems and old songs of the Keglacians have melted into the collective culture, hoopkah has made a distinctive mark and is becoming more popular with every passing year.
Variations of this Keglacian sport are also known as choopkah (team play) or hoopspootch (a simplified version for children). Professional hoopkah teams wherein a Hive-Coach and his four or five player team compete in a series of matches against local rival teams are popular events often drawing huge crowds of common folk who treat such matches as huge social gatherings complete with food and drinks.
While the stonemason origins of the Keglacians are now mostly destroyed, it would seem that this simple pastime will remain their gift to world culture.

The paper compares the trace-sampling techniques of set sampling and time sampling. Using the multi-billion reference traces of A. Borg et al. (1990), we apply both techniques to multi-megabyte caches, where sampling is most valuable. We evaluate whether either technique meets a 10% sampling goal: a method meets this goal if, at least 90% of the time, it estimates the trace's true misses per instruction with /spl les/10% relative error using /spl les/10% of the trace. Results for these traces and caches show that set sampling meets the 10% sampling goal, while time sampling does not. We also find that cold-start bias in time samples is most effectively reduced by the technique of D.A. Wood et al. (1991). Nevertheless, overcoming cold-start bias requires tens of millions of consecutive references.

Snap interface metadata (i.e. descriptions)
Applications that control Snap interfaces need to show descriptions to users. This is currently done using description text that the design and security teams came up with. For example, the "home" interface is described as "Access files in your home folder". snapd provides summary text for each of the interfaces and this is shown when 'snap interface' is called. The "home" interface has the summary "allows access to non-hidden files in the home directory". The text provided by snapd is unsuitable because it is not worded in a suitable way (sentence fragments, too technical) for the user interface and is not translatable.
$ snap interface
Name Summary
appstream-metadata allows access to AppStream metadata
audio-playback allows audio playback via supporting services
browser-support allows access to various APIs needed by modern web browsers
content allows sharing code and data with other snaps
cups-control allows access to the CUPS control socket
desktop allows access to basic graphical desktop resources
desktop-legacy allows privileged access to desktop legacy methods
gsettings allows access to any gsettings item of current user
hardware-observe allows reading information about system hardware
home allows access to non-hidden files in the home directory
log-observe allows read access to system logs
lxd-support allows operating as the LXD service
mount-observe allows reading mount table and quota information
network allows access to the network
network-bind allows operating as a network service
network-manager allows operating as the NetworkManager service
network-observe allows querying network status
opengl allows access to OpenGL stack
packagekit-control allows control of the PackageKit service
password-manager-service allows access to common password manager services
process-control allows controlling other processes
pulseaudio allows operating as or interacting with the pulseaudio service
snapd-control allows communicating with snapd
system-files allows access to system files or directories
system-observe allows observing all processes and drivers
unity7 allows interacting with Unity 7 services
upower-observe allows operating as or reading from the UPower service
wayland allows access to compositors supporting wayland protocol
x11 allows interacting with or running as an X11 server
There is an ongoing issue that every time a new interface is created, clients need to update their table of descriptions. For example today, the system settings app doesn't understand the audio-playback interface, as this was added after the text was decided for interfaces. So users just get the fallback behaviour of showing the interface name:
If we were to replace the text with the summaries provided by snapd, it would instead look like this (and only show in English):
We really need to manage the descriptions in a central location to allow this to scale. The following possibilities come to mind:
 - Change the summary text provided by snapd so that it is suitable for both the command line and GUI.
 - Add a new field to the snapd metadata that has text suitable for this case and keep existing summary text unchanged.
 - Implement translations in snapd. This is really required for the above two options.
 - Move the interface descriptions into snapd-glib as this is easier to update and many clients use this.
More detail on why "allows audio playback via supporting services" is not suitable in the settings app:
 - It is not a valid sentence - it does not start with a capital letter.
 - This requires the interface name to be used in the label, as it describes what the interface does, not what the app is allowed to do. If it described the app it would say "allow audio playback via supporting services".
 - Since all the summaries start with "allows" it looks repetitive when listed with other interfaces.
 - It's highly technical - what is a "supporting service"? The interface is a fairly simple concept (able to play sound) but the description confuses it. Note that we could more technical data shown elsewhere in the UI, but it shouldn't be shown up front.
The current descriptions are meant to be developer-friendly and attempt to use a consistent style to convey what the interface is meant to do. IME it will be very difficult to strike the right balance between a developer-friendly string and a user-friendly string for the UI (look at pulseaudio-- it is trying to describe two points of view: being a service and being a client). The UI might, as you describe, need things formatted a certain way that maybe doesn't make sense for the cli.
I agree that maintaining the user-friendly descriptions is a maintenance burden. We probably should add a new (translatable) field to all the interfaces (eg, "ui-summary") that you can then consume. In the process of doing this, we could also add "ui-labels" or something that can contain things like "deprecated" or "transitional" or whatever makes sense.

That's interesting, I think they actually need to be admin friendly (as they appear in snap interface) which still probably does not make them suitable for re-use in a friendly GUI context.
Whether we want to maintain other descriptions suitable for other usages in snapd itself merits a bit more discussion.
Those don't sound (G)UI specific, actually they sound partially developer oriented again.

Act on the Openness of Government Activities
What documents are governed by the act?
The authorities whose documents are governed by the Act include for example:
- state administrative authorities and other state agencies and institutions,
- courts of law as well as
- municipal authorities.
The Act also applies to State enterprises, such as the Forest Administration.
In addition, the Act is applied to documents in the possession of private parties performing public tasks and exercising public authority. These include for example
- work pension institutions,
- a forest ranger and
- insurance companies in matters relating to statutory insurance.
The Act applies to both documents delivered to an authority and those prepared by an authority. The former can be for example different letters and applications. Documents prepared by an authority, on the other hand, include for example decisions and statements. Certain documents of minor importance relating to internal activities of an authority are excluded from the scope of application of the Act.
A document means not only traditional documents on paper but also electronic messages stored by means of automatic data processing as well as microfilmed documents.
Requesting access to a document
An authority assists in finding information
A document is requested from the authority in possession of the document. The authorities are under an obligation to assist those requesting information to find it, for example to identify the document desired. Various diaries and indexes can be used in the identification.
The person requesting access need not identify himself or provide reasons for his request. When considering whether to grant access to a document to be kept secret, an authority may, however, need information on the grounds for the request. For example a party has the right of access also to certain secret documents. Access to secret documents may be granted also for research purposes.
Access to the contents of a documents shall be granted in the manner requested unless this would unreasonably inconvenience the activity of the authority. Access to computerised decision registers is usually granted in electronic form if so requested. Most often the information is given orally or as a copy of the document.
An authority shall consider a request for a document without delay. Access to a document shall be granted as soon as possible and in any event within one month from receipt of the request. If the number of documents requested is large or if the request otherwise requires an irregular amount of work from the authority, access shall be granted at the latest within two months from the receipt of the request.
What if the decision is negative?
A decision refusing access to a document shall contain the reasons for the refusal. The decision shall thus indicate the reasons for the secrecy of the document requested. If the request has been made in writing, the negative decision shall also be given in writing.
If access to a document has been refused, the person may request that the official refer the matter to be decided by an authority, in practice usually by his superior.
Appeal to a decision made by an authority is usually made to an Administrative Court. The decision is accompanied by further instructions on appeal.
What charges are collected?
Oral information of course costs nothing nor the inspection of an official document in the premises of the authority.
Documents delivered on paper or electronically are, on the other hand, subject to charges. Information on the charges is available from the authority that has the document.
The right to access to information
The starting point is openness
Under the Act, access to a document is the main principle and secrecy is an exception. Access may thus not be restricted without a lawful reason or more than necessary for the interest being protected.
The right of a party to access is more extensive than that of others.
A party, or the person whose interest or right is concerned, has a right of access to official documents that may have influenced the consideration of his/her matter. This right is more extensive than usually, because a party has the right of access also to secret documents.
Some documents are, however, excluded from this access. For example at a trial the address information of the witnesses or the injured party may be kept secret for reasons of security. Nor does a party participating in an open tender arranged by an authority have access to the technical or business secrets of another tenderer.
Good governance includes the right of a party to learn of a decision made in his/her matter directly from the authority and not through the media.
Restrictions on access
Access to preparatory information
Access to preparatory documents is extended. For example different accounts and the State budget proposal will be in the public domain earlier than before.
However, access to information in documents may, under the Act, be restricted on the basis that the handling of the matter has not yet been completed.
The Act obliges the authorities the have available information on legislation under preparation and on other pending matters of general importance.
Under the Constitution, documents may be kept secret only where provided by an Act.. The most central provisions on secrecy are contained in the Act on the Openness of Government Activities.
These provisions protect important public and private interests, which include:
- international relations,
- the prevention and prosecution of crimes,
- security arrangements, preparations for emergency conditions,
- State security,
- income, financial, monetary and currency policy,
- the credibility and functioning of financial and capital markets,
- protection of natural values,
- efficiency of inspection and supervisory tasks of the authorities,
- protection of the confidentiality of information,
- public economic interests,
- private economic interests,
- the interests of research and development as well as of education,
- the security of asylum seekers as well as the protection of privacy.
If a document contains only some secret information, access is granted to the public part by covering the parts to be kept secret.
Publications and brochures
Because the right of access to official documents is a basic right, the authorities shall promote its implementation. The authorities shall produce data material describing their activities, such as publications, brochures and statistics as well as information on their socially significant decisions.
The authorities shall also ensure that documents pertinent to their activities are easily accessible for example in data networks and libraries.
The Act also imposes on the authorities the obligation to inform the public of their activities.

Overview for Multivariate EWMA Chart
Use Multivariate EWMA Chart to simultaneously monitor two or more related process characteristics in an exponentially weighted control chart. In the multivariate EWMA chart, each plotted point includes weighting from all previous data, which helps you to detect small process shifts quicker than you can with other multivariate control charts. The Multivariate EWMA chart is the multivariate counterpart to the EWMA chart.
For example, use a multivariate EWMA chart to monitor temperature and pressure in a plastic injection-molding process. Because temperature and pressure both affect the plastic strength, the engineer wants to monitor these variables at the same time.
No points are above the upper control limit, so the variability can be considered stable. However, the points that are higher than the rest that could be investigated.
Where to find this control chart
To create a multivariate EWMA chart, choose Stat > Control Charts > Multivariate Charts > Multivariate EWMA.
When to use an alternate control chart
If variables are not correlated, use EWMA Chart.


Dene 'Tha, Settlement
The Dene Tha, also called the Slavey, are a tribe that live in northern Alberta. In the old days they organized themselves into six bands, and lived in small family groupings with no central government. They were a peaceful people who enjoyed telling stories.
The clothing of the Dene 'Tha was more decorative than other Athapaskan tribes. Before beads were obtained through trade, they used porcupine quills and colored moose hair for adornment.
The Dene 'Tha diet included moose, deer and caribou, but fish was considered a staple, caught during the winter months by running spruce root nets from one hole in the ice to another.
Their dwellings were conical lodges (similar to a Tipi) made usually of spruce bark or brush and two families tended to place their lodges together, with entrances facing the fire. During the winter months the Dene 'Tha lived in low, oblong cabins constructed of poles with walls chinked together with moss and a roof of spruce boughs.

DESIGN OF A NOVEL SAPPHIRE BASED DIELECTRIC RESONATOR TO MEASURE THE SURFACE RESISTANCE OF HIGH TEMP SUPER CONDUCTORS
A sapphire dielectric resonator system has been used to measure the surface resistance of high temperature superconductors. The cavity is made up of a lower superconducting plate, a dielectric puck and a movable upper plate where the sample is placed. The temperature of the lower plate is kept at 4.2 K while the sample is heated independently attached to the end of a sapphire rod. The measurements are performed at TE01d mode. By moving the upper plate, the shift in resonance frequency and the corresponding change in the bandwidth are recorded. The overall system is designed to fit into a continuous flow helium cryostat. Real part of the surface impedance of the sample is related to the change in bandwidth,?fb, and the imaginary part of the surface impedance is related to the change in resonant frequency,?f0. Instead of absolute calibration of the chamber, a known oxygen free copper sample was used as the reference. The samples were Seeded Melt Grown (SMG) solid material. The measured surface resistance of the SMG YBCO high Tc materials was comparable to that of the best thin HTS films grown by other techniques.

NMEA Sentences Used by MicroStation
MicroStation requires your GPS device to send these two NMEA sentences, at a minimum:
Showing the satellites in use on the user interface requires these NMEA sentences, so your GPS device should send them as well:
MicroStation processes the following NMEA sentences and makes the data from them available to applications, but it does not require this data. Sometimes this data is redundant with data from the sentences above.
MicroStation also processes the Leica proprietary "local position quality sentence," GPLLQ. If it is present, the easting, northing, easting/northing fix quality, and elevation are acquired from it. However, the elevation is also in the GGA sentence.
Any other sentences that your GPS sends are not processed by MicroStation.

Message Queue for MQTT allows an Alibaba Cloud account to authorize Resource Access Management (RAM) users to use the topic resources, which prevents risks caused by exposing the AccessKey pair of the Alibaba Cloud account. Only authorized RAM users are allowed to manage resources in the Message Queue for MQTT console and deliver and subscribe to messages through SDKs and API operations.
Note Message Queue for MQTT Cross-account authorization is not supported.
Application scenarios
Enterprise A has purchased Message Queue for MQTT services: the employees of enterprise A need to perform operations on the resources involved in these services, such as instances, topics, and Group resources. For example, some employees are responsible for creating resources, some are responsible for publishing messages, and some are responsible for subscribing to messages. Employees with different roles require different permissions.
The scenario is described as follows:
 - For security reasons, enterprise A does not want to disclose the AccessKey pair of its Alibaba Cloud account to employees. Instead, enterprise A prefers to create different RAM users for the employees and grant different permissions to these users.
 - A RAM user can only use resources under authorization. Resource usage and costs are not calculated separately for that RAM user. All expenses are billed to the Alibaba Cloud account of enterprise A.
 - Enterprise A can revoke the permissions granted to RAM users and delete RAM users at any time.
In this scenario, the Alibaba Cloud account of enterprise A can allow fine-grained separation of permissions on resources to be operated by employees.
 1. Create a RAM user by using the Alibaba Cloud account of enterprise A.
 For more information, see Create a RAM user.
 2. (Optional) Create custom policies for the RAM user as needed.
 For more information, see Create a custom policy.
 Currently, Message Queue for MQTT supports permission setting for instances, topics, and groups. For more information, see Policies.
 3. Grant permissions to the RAM user with the Alibaba Cloud account of enterprise A.
 For more information, see authorize a RAM user.
What to do next
After creating a RAM user with an Alibaba Cloud account, you can distribute the logon name and password of the RAM user or AccessKey pair information to other employees. Other employees can log on to the console or call an API operation with the RAM user through the following steps.
 - Console logon
 1. Open the RAM user logon portal in the browser.
 2. On the RAM user logon page, enter the RAM user name and click Next, enter the RAM user password, and then click Log on.
 Note The RAM user name is in the format of <$username>@<$AccountAlias> or <$username>@<$AccountAlias> <$AccountAlias> is the account alias. If no account alias is set, the value defaults to the ID of the Alibaba Cloud account (primary account).
 3. On the RAM User Center page, click products with permissions to access the console.
 - Call an API operation with the RAM user's AccessKey
 Use the AccessKey ID and AccessKey Secret of the RAM user in the code.

Preparation, proton conduction, and application in ammonia synthesis at atmospheric pressure of La0.9Ba0.1Ga1–xMgxO3–α
- 229 Downloads
La0.9Ba0.1Ga1–xMgxO3–α (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.25) was prepared by the microemulsion method. A single phase of LaGaO3 perovskite structure was formed when x was ≥0.15. Electrochemical hydrogen permeation (hydrogen pumping) proved that La0.9Ba0.1Ga1–xMgxO3–α had proton conduction, and the proton conduction was measured by AC impedance spectroscopy method from 400 to 800 °C in hydrogen atmospheres. Among these samples, La0.9Ba0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3–α has the highest proton conductivity with the values of 9.51 × 10−4 to 4.68 × 10−2 S cm−1 at 400–800 °C. Ammonia was synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen at atmospheric pressure in an electrolytic cell using La0.9Ba0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3–α as electrolyte. The rate of NH3 formation was 1.89 × 10−9 mol s−1 cm−2 at 520 °C upon imposing a current of 1 mA through the cell.

text: This document specifies the requirements for the sampling and processing of complex matrices in order to obtain a liquid dispersion having a sufficiently high concentration of nano-objects of interest. This document provides guidelines for the detection and identification of specific nano-objects in complex matrices, such as liquid environmental compartments, wastewater, and consumer goods (e.g. food and cosmetics). For identification, this document requires prior knowledge of the nature of the nano-objects, such as their chemical composition. The detection and identification methods chosen are based on a combination of size classification and chemical composition analysis. Characterization of morphology can, for example, also support identification. At present, only the techniques of field flow fractionation (FFF), electron microscopy (ME) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (spICP-MS) fulfill this combination requirement.

001884: Init classify function failed.
When tools such as Classify Raster or Inspect Training Samples are run, a function chain is set up internally that depends on specific inputs in the correct order. When these inputs are incorrect, or in the wrong order, function initialization fails.
Check that the tool inputs, such as rasters, band numbers, or bit depth, match the same inputs used in the classification training tools, and that the inputs are in the same order. The training tools produce an.ecd file (JSON) that can be viewed as a text file for verification of constant inputs in the training tools and the Classify Raster or Inspect Training Samples tool.


I was under the impression that work function should be measured in eV or meV but I have read literature stating 'work function resolution of 1-3 eV. Is it right?
In physics, for charged particles (such as electrons) the formula E= eV applies where E is energy, 'e' is the charge on an electron and V is volts (or millivolts).
The work function is the energy required to remove an electron from the surface of a conductor such as a metal. It is an energy and the units are typically 'eV' or alternatively'meV'.
The Kelvin probe actually measures a change in voltage either in volts or millivolts; sometimes this is called a surface potential change. So the difference between work function changes (measured in eV) and surface potential changes (measured in volts) is simply the charge on the electron 'e'. Most scientists and engineers recognise this and use the two terms independently.
You could take the following view: The Kelvin probe reports surface potential changes in mV, calibrating the tip work function and converting the measured voltage value to a sample work function allows you to quote in eV.
In summary, whilst technically correct, the work function resolution should be stated as 1-3 meV.
In addition the work function resolution is a function of the tip size. So for a larger tip (1-2 cm diameter) we will have 0.1 meV resolution. As our new Kelvin probe tip holder (which is an option) allows us to use any tip diameter then in our new literature we are quoting a work function resolution from 0.1 meV, or indeed 100 µeV.

A new DIVE-Turbine has been delivered to the Hydro Power Plant Mancioux (France) for EDF France. After a period of renovation the power plant was restarted in March 2019 with three DIVE-Turbines. The new DIVE-Turbine has a runner diameter of 1450mm and an installed capacity of 580 kW.
In 2015 two twin Francis turbines have been replaced at a retorift of hydro power plant Mancioux. In 2018 a third turbine was to be installed in another empty turbine chamber. After three years of operation with DIVE-Turbines the customer, EDF France, decided for another DIVE-Turbine.
The first two turbines were speed-variable DIVE-Turbines, the new turbine is a fixed-speed turbine. The two speed-variable turbines regulate the head at variable discharge and heads. Therefore the fixed-speed turbine is run at permanent flow conditions (80%-100%) and is directly connected to the grid without inverter losses.
Thus the unit of turbine and generator reaches efficiencies up to 86% from the hydraulic energy of the water up to the public grid.
The new turbine of Mancioux is the 39th DIVE-Turbine on the grid.

The Colibri Premium Butane is the purest butane on the market. Our butane meets the stringent requirements of high-performance jet-flame lighters, a technology that Colibri pioneered over 35 years ago.
Are there different grades of butane?
So, what exactly is the difference between n-butane and regular butane? Butanes are extremely flammable, colorless, and easily liquefied gases at their most basic level, but when it comes to quality, we need to dig a little further. When you look at the contents of a normal can of butane, it usually reads either butane or N-butane. When it comes to ultimate purity, the gap is enormous. Butane is actually a mixture of gases with varying degrees of purity ranging from less than 1% to 99.999 percent, with iso-butane being used instead of the more pure N-butane. The fillers in these iso-butane mixes are frequently added to reduce the cost of production for the companies who make them. If you buy a low-quality butane combination, it will not only clog your lighters and torches, but it will also harm the environment. Don't settle for low-quality butane; only use the best to ensure that every light performs to its full potential every time.
What does 11x mean on butane?
The vendor on Amazon describes the 11x as "11 times refined," therefore I'm guessing the 7x is "7 times refined." However, I have not yet experimented with butane.
Is 5X or 11X butane better?
Butane is a form of petroleum-derived natural gas. Natural gas is quite dirty and unrefined when it is extracted. Furthermore, it is commonly dissolved in oil, which must be removed from the natural gas. In the same way, water vapor must be removed from the gas.
Methane, propane, and butane are the three types of liquids found in natural gas. Natural gas must go through a series of boiling and heating steps to eliminate these chemicals. When each chemical reaches its boiling point, then it's separated from the gas. Fractional distillation is the name for this method.
Butane isn't completely pure even after it's been extracted. It must first go through a thorough purification and filtration process. Most commercial applications necessitate a gas purity of 97 to 99.5 percent. This is performed by refining the butane that has been extracted a number of times. Refining aids in the reduction of impurities in gas and the improvement of its quality. More significantly, refined gasoline reduces clogging, malfunctions, and misfiring of the burner valves.
In short, 11X gas has undergone 11 refinements, whereas 5X butane has undergone 5 refinements.
There are some distinctions between these fuels in this regard.
5X fuel is one of the most popular butane fuels due to its high purity level. It is mostly used to replace low-quality gas. 11X gasoline, on the other hand, is a typical lighter refill. It's inexpensive, highly combustible, and suitable for a wide range of uses. It can be used in both industrial and domestic settings.
What does 5X mean on butane?
Butane is one of the most abundant power sources known to man because it is a natural gas derivative. Natural gas is being extracted in higher amounts than ever before thanks to innovations in drilling technology, particularly hydraulic fracturing in shale deposits. This has resulted in an energy boom in North America, as well as increasing refined butane production. If you're like most people, your knowledge with butane is confined to disposable cigarette lighters and portable camping stoves. However, the gas is also used to power torch lighters, which are essential tools for plumbers, builders, and jewelry makers.
Power butane is one of the most popular butanes on the market, especially in the 5x, 7x, and 9x butane refill canisters. For example, the term "power 5x butane" refers to the refinement process and denotes the gas's high purity level. Because of its high quality, Power brand butane is frequently substituted with lower-grade gas, which has been known to choke lighters and torches.
What is the purest butane?
People are creatures who stick to their routines. It can be challenging to step outside of our comfort zones or make different decisions. Taking a chance on something new, whether it's a product or an event, can pay off big time. The following are the top two reasons to try Puretane butane.
Although certain products are better made in other countries (automobiles being at the center of this discussion), there are some items that are simply better made in the United States. Consider the difference between fresh fruits, veggies, and meats from a farmer's market and frozen meals made up of who knows what. American products are assured not to be created in sweatshops, to be free of abusive labor practices, to meet higher purity and sanitation requirements, and to follow all US environmental regulations.
When it comes to butane, it's all about purity. Unlike other butane brands that claim to have almost no impurities, Puretane claims to be impurity-free. While other brands purchase cans and valves that are mass-produced in Asia, Puretane manufactures its own bottle parts, allowing it to avoid any mysterious compounds that may be present in other butanes. Puretane is a firm believer in knowing exactly what you're putting into your body at all times. Less pure butane has been known to block lighters, alter the flavor of your cigarette, cigar, or pipe, and cause inconsistent flames.
What is triple filtered butane?
Lotus Triple Refined Butane is a premium grade butane gas made specifically for use in torch style lighters. Lotus is 99.9999 percent clean, thus the triple refining procedure won't clog your lighter jets with dirt and filth like other brands.
How many types of butane are there?
Butane, or C4H10, is an alkane natural gas derivative that comes in two structural isomers: n-butane and isobutane, or a mixture of the two. N-butane, like Puretane butane, is a highly refined butane that is what most people think of when they hear the word butane.
How many times should butane be refined?
The performance of your lighter starts with good butane. There are numerous brands available, but it is critical to select one that has been properly refined, preferably five times or more. Ultra-refined butane is made by companies like Xikar and ST Dupont. The less contaminants in the fuel, the less probable it is to block the jets or corrode any internal components in your lighter. With a highly purified premium butane, your lighter will not only perform better, but it will also last much longer.

Abstract
AALRT is the first modern light rail transit for Ethiopia; it was warmly welcomed by the public and after 1 ½ year still it doesn't answer publics need of transport. However during this short period the trains suffer with fast wheel wear problem and ERC loses money for maintenance costs when changing and re-profiling wheels. This study aims to reduce wheel rail wear by optimizing wheel profile and check dynamic performance analysis of used and new optimized wheel profile. The methodology of this paper starts using two basics 1. If the shape of the Rolling Radius Difference function is defined by the wheel and rail profiles, then the opposite is also valid 2) When the same type of rolling stock is running on the same track and no influence of other type railway vehicles then there is a possibility to design or optimize a new wheel profile, which matches an existing rail profile. Then the obtained profile checked regarding to dynamic performances (tested for stability, wear and safety requirements) using SIMPACK computer package. After optimization and performance analysis the result of this paper shows optimized wheel profile has wear index of 1900N, 420N and 56N on R50curve, R150 curve and on straight track respectively. Which is optimized by 1100N, 120N and 22N wear index compared to currently used AALRT wheel profile. As Conclusion compared to AALRT wheel profile the optimized profile has less wear rate, better dynamic performance, and the same safety requirements. Therefore wheel profile optimization has great impact on wheel Rail wear and AALRT have to work on it for better result.

To help save lives, the Dallas District of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) turned to an innovative version of an old familiar product.
Over the course of three years, TxDOT saw seven deaths of pedestrians attempting to cross I-30 in Dallas to reach a shopping center. Even though there was a bridge within a quarter mile of either side of where the fatalities occurred, people continued to try to cross eight lanes of interstate highway traffic. TxDOT allocated funds to build a pedestrian bridge, but the department decided to pursue a stopgap measure before bridge construction even began.
"We first considered a chain link fence, but a fence becomes a maintenance issue over time and catches debris," said Martin Gonzalez, an engineer for TxDOT who is now director of maintenance for the Beaumont District. Then he remembered a glare screen product he viewed at the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) Traffic Expo.
Selecting a Solution
The Plasticade glare screen system is a vertical blade and rail system that attaches to the median barrier wall to protect construction workers and drivers on the other side of the highway from the headlight glares of opposing traffic, hence the name. For decades, it has also been used to curtail gawking in work zones. When Gonzalez decided to go with the glare screen, TxDOT became the first known entity to use a glare screen as a pedestrian deterrent.
Glare screen blades are typically 14.5 in. apart, according to Thomas Safford, National Safety Manager for Plasticade, a manufacturer of traffic safety products that designed the innovative glare screen for TxDOT. For this application to deter pedestrians from crossing high-traffic freeways, Plasticade spaced the blades 7.25 in. apart, which makes the glare screen look more like a solid wall. Pedestrians would have to break the blades to get across, which they do not.
TxDOT saw deaths drop from seven to one. "We've found glare screens as a pedestrian deterrent is a low-cost solution with a high success rate," said Gonzalez.
Ease of Installation and Results
Not only is the Plasticade glare screen effective as a pedestrian deterrent, it is also easier to work with. Over 3 miles of glare screen can fit on one semitruck, compared to 1 mile of older versions of the product. Because it stacks, it takes up to one-fifth of the space as a traditional glare screen.
The new and improved glare screen is comprised of durable and long-lasting polymer plastic, which eliminates the possibility of fiberglass splinters or rust. Since it is made from PVC, rather than fiberglass, it does not require workers to wear protective equipment to handle it either.
Following the pilot project, TxDOT expanded with a second project that included more than 125,000 linear ft of installed product on four highways in the Dallas District. The 5 miles of glare screen installation was estimated to take 12 to 14 months to complete. Lite & Barricade of Dallas (L&B) was able to complete the bulk of installation work in under 100 working nights.
According to L&B supervisor Alex Saenz, who led the project as a subcontractor under general contractor Select Maintenance, the installation was surprisingly simple and easy to learn. Installation was completed much sooner than anticipated due to the efficient transport of the product and the ability to quickly assemble the product directly on the barrier, which has minimal parts. Once the crew created a system (one worker places bases, one worker drills holes, one worker installs bolts, and one worker pops in blades), they averaged 1500 linear ft per night.
The Dallas District of TxDOT has greatly expanded the use of glare screens to additional area highways since the initial project several years ago on a short section of I-30.
"If TxDOT decides to remove the product in the future, the system can be easily disassembled and stored compactly," Saenz said. "The future of the product is limitless. Municipalities, counties, toll authorities, and state agencies should all consider the product."

OCL operation reference
Ocl operations for type *Classifier*
allInstances () : Set{T}
Returns a Set containing all of the existing instances of the current classifier (along with instances of all its inherited classifiers).
Expression Result
let a : String = 'a', b : String = 'b', c : Integer = 2 in String.allInstances() Set{'a','b'}
Ocl operations for type *OclAny*
oclAsType ( typespec : Classifier ) : T
Returns *self* statically typed as typespec if it is an instance of this type. *Note* that this does not alter the runtime value of *self*, it only enables access to subtype operations. This operation allows users to cast self to another type.

oclIsInvalid () : Boolean
Returns true if self is equal to *invalid*.
Expression Result
let anObject : String = null in anObject.oclIsUndefined() false
let anObject : String = invalid in anObject.oclIsUndefined() true
let anObject : String = 'null' in anObject.oclIsUndefined() false
oclIsKindOf( Classifier typespec ) : Boolean
Returns **true** if the type of self corresponds to the type or supertype of typespec, false otherwise. This operation allows users to check the class hierarchy of self much like would an instanceof Java.
Expression Result
anEmployee.oclIsKindOf(Employee) true
anEmployee.oclIsKindOf(Person) true
aCat.oclIsKindOf(Person) false
oclIsTypeOf( typespec : Classifier ) : Boolean
Returns true if the type of self is the same as typespec, or false otherwise. This operation allows users to check the exact class type of self.
Expression Result
anEmployee.oclIsTypeOf(Employee) true
anEmployee.oclIsTypeOf(Person) false
aCat.oclIsTypeOf(Person) false
oclIsUndefined () : Boolean
Returns true if self is equal to invalid or null.
Expression Result
let anObject : String = null in anObject.oclIsUndefined() true
let anObject : String = invalid in anObject.oclIsUndefined() true
let anObject : String = 'null' in anObject.oclIsUndefined() false
<> ( object : OclAny ) : Boolean
Returns **true** if *self* is a different object from *object*.
Expression Result
let a : String = 'a', b : String = 'a' in a <> b false

Expression Result
let a : Integer = 1, b : Integer = 2 in a >= b false
let a : Real = 1.5, b : Integer = 2 in a >= b false
let a : String = 'Anteater', b : String = 'Aardvark' in a >= b true
Ocl operations for type *String*
 - A note on Strings** : OCL Strings begin at index *1*, not *0* as in most languages. Thus *'test'.at(0)* fails in
 - invalid* whereas *'test'.at(1)* yields *'t'*. Likewise, *'test'.substring(2, 2)* returns *'e'*.

'substring operation'.substring(1, 1) 's'
'substring operation'.substring(0, 1) invalid
toInteger () : Integer
Returns an Integer of value equal to *self*, or |invalid| if *self* does not represent an integer.
Expression Result
'3.0'.toInteger() invalid

'toReal'.toReal() invalid
toUpper () : String
Returns *self* with all characters converted to uppercase.
Expression Result
'UpPeR OpErAtIoN'.toUpper() 'UPPER OPERATION'
Ocl operations for type *Number*
In addition to the basic math functions (+, -, /, \*) are a number of advanced functions. Take note that *Number* denotes both *Integer* and *Real*, and they're substitutive unless otherwise specified.
Number::abs () : Number
Returns the absolute value of *self*, *self* if it is already a positive number.
Expression Result
(-2.3).abs() 2.3

Paris – With 108 years worth of stories, the elegant Hôtel Lutetia was the lodging of choice of Matisse, Camus and the crème de la crème of the Saint-Germain society – it was, after all, founded by the family that also created the equally admired Le Bon Marché. And now, after a massive four-year renovation, it opens its doors again. Architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte took his time with the details, even commissioning bespoke pieces and finishes. One of those items was the Lutezia tap collection, created by Vicenza-based manufacturer CEA.
In the name of accuracy, the project required merging Art Deco and Art Nouveau elements, to reflect the heritage of more than a century's worth of style influences. 'Our project research included great attention for the ergonomics of the handle and the proportion of the water flow,' stated Roberta Bertacco, co-founder and managing director of CEA. Their main source of inspiration, though, was an unexpected element: the hydraulic valve of the radiators from the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. And now, the bathrooms of the 184 units, the common spaces and the spa feature the delicately curved yet sturdily resistant pieces, in silver and rose shades inspired by the Parisian Belle Époque.


text: John Jeffries was a Boston physician, scientist, and military surgeon with the British army during the Revolutionary War. Jeffries is recognized as the first "weatherman." As noted in a previous column, he was an early balloonist and accompanied Jean-Pierre Blanchard in 1785 as their balloon crossed the English Channel. During the flight, Dr. Jeffries took weather readings with a telescope, timepiece, compass, thermometer, barometer hydrometer — to measure humidity — and an electrometer — to determine electrical activity. He also used a ribbon and scissors to determine the rise and fall of the balloon and a pen and pencil to ascertain if thin air affected their use. Today marks his birthday in 1744, known as National Weatherman's Day. Thanks to Cookies by Design for their Weatherman's Day gifts. Fastcast: Early rain.

Initialize System object
setupImpl(obj) sets up a System object™ and implements one-time tasks that do not depend on any inputs to the stepImpl method for this object. To acquire resources for a System object, you must use setupImpl instead of a constructor. setupImpl executes the first time the step method is called on an object after that object has been created. It also executes the next time step is called after an object has been released. You typically use setupImpl to set private properties so they do not need to be calculated each time stepImpl method is called.
setupImpl(obj,input1,input2,...) sets up a System object using one or more of the stepImpl input specifications. The number and order of inputs must match the number and order of inputs defined in the stepImpl method. You pass the inputs into setupImpl to use the specifications, such as size and datatypes in the one-time calculations. You do not use the setupImpl method to set up input values.
 You must set Access = protected for this method.

Check input size
This examples shows how to use setupImpl to check that the size of a stepImpl method input matches the size of a state property.
properties (Access = private)
 myState = [1 2];
 methods (Access = protected)
 function setupImpl(obj,u)
 if any(size(obj.myState) ~= size(u))
 error('Size of "myState" does not match size of input "u"');
 function y = stepImpl(obj,u)
 y = obj.myState;
 obj.myState = u;

Recently, someone shared with me that their boyfriend avoids gluten because it makes him feel quite sleepy after a lot of pasta. Unfortunately, that's a good example of a leap to a conclusion that may not be the true problem, too many carbohydrates at one time, whether they contain gluten or not, can sometimes make people feel sleepy or have cravings for sweets due to either an elevated insulin or blood sugar level.

The PS3 is no stranger to science. [email protected] was one of the first applications designed to take advantage of the PS3's powerful cell processor for medical purposes. Now, scientists have used the PS3 to solve one of the many mysteries surrounding black holes.
Scientists at the University of Alabama and the University of Massachusetts created a cluster of 16 PS3s to run research on the vibration of black holes. Though the PS3 has been used to assist research in the past, this experiment is the first one done exclusively on the console. While supercomputers can be rented out, the cost of doing so is astronomical, according to Dr. Lior Burko, professor at UA: "If we had rented computing time from a supercomputer center it would have cost us about $5,000 to run our simulation one time. For this project we ran our simulation several dozens of times to test different parameters and circumstances, so you can see how much that would have cost us." The PS3 cluster, on the other hand, only cost $6,000 to build, and allowed scientists to run as many simulations as they needed for no additional cost.
For those interested in the research itself, this experiment resolved a dispute over what speed black holes stop vibrating. This vibration occurs when a black hole first forms, or when it swallows up matter. Burko compared this vibration to that of a bell, except with gravitational waves instead of sound waves. The experiment used the PS3 cluster to simulate a vibrating black hole and then found out how long it took to return to its "quiet" state.

12 Arabic words and expressions used in French
7 February 2019
Coffee and breakfast
By Selma Daddi
French has often picked up words from other languages – including plenty from Arabic.
These words come from France's long history of colonisation in North Africa, especially Algeria, and immigration from these countries.
Here we have a look at 12 common Arabic words used every day in France.
One of the most popular is caoua (also written kawa). In Arabic it is written qahwa and it means coffee.
Then, toubib (which means doctor) comes from the word tbib which French soldiers learned from Algerian people during the colonisation.
When speaking about money, you can also say flouse (sometimes written flouze). It comes from fulūs in arabic, which was originally an old currency.
You may already have heard "je fais fissa!" which means I am doing something quickly. This expression was used by North-African soldiers in the 19th century and became a French expression. It comes from the arab fī l-sāa which means on time.
Maboul(e) is also a very common word which comes from mahbul in Arabic and means crazy.
Casbah or kasbah is used to say home today - (Je rentre à la casbah means je rentre à la maison) – but actually refers to the centre of a town. It was also used for old fortresses in the Arab world.
If you speak about the bad behaviour of someone, you could call him a sheitan (also written cheitan). This word originally comes from Ethiopia and refers to Satan and bad spirits but generally means devil in French.
Juste un chouia" you might often hear. Pronounced chouya, the word was taken from the Maghreb where people use it to say 'a little'. It is a synonym of un peu in French.
Walou is another word we took from Arabic which means nothing (rien). This word was notably used by the Berbers and Algerian people.
Kif-kif means the same. For example, if someone asks you if you prefer to go right or left and you reply "c'est kif-kif", it means it does not matter, it is all the same. Some people might also say "c'est kif-kif bourricot"bourricot meaning little donkey. Kif was again used by Algerian people and means like or as (comme).
You can also call a dog clebs which comes from the Arabic word kelb also meaning dog. As we are speaking about slang, a very common negative expression used by young people is meskine (masculine) or meskina (feminine). These expressions are Arabic and are exclamations used to refer to someone in a sad or poor situation who inspires pity to others – an equivalent in French would be le (or la) pauvre!
As well as these more recent borrowings there are many words borrowed into French centuries ago which you might be surprised to know come from Arabic, such as alcool (alcohol), sucre (sugar), sofa, cabas (basket, bag) or douane (customs).
