*Purpose: The field of upper rxtremity (UE) Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation (VCA) continues to advance with more patients undergoing the informed consent process each year. However, the informed consent process for UE VCA has not yet been standardized, and has not been empirically examined for its adequacy. Consequently, the amount, type, and personalization of information provided to patients about UE VCA likely varies. Such variation may potentially contribute to UE amputees being inadequately informed, under-prepared, and feeling undue pressure when considering this option.
*Methods: This paper examines the little known topic of UE amputees' and VCA candidates', participants', and recipients' perceptions of the informed consent and decision-making processes about UE VCA, as part of a broader Department of Defense-funded study. Patients' narratives have been an underutilized resource in shaping the informed consent process.
*Results: We will have conducted in-depth interviews among UE amputees, UE VCA candidates, participants, and UE transplant recipients (n=5-20) at three geographically distinct transplant and/or rehabilitation centers. Interviews will focus on participants' information needs, comprehension of information disclosed, perceptions of undue influence, and psychosocial factors affecting decision making for UE VCA. This paper will highlight informed consent elements distinct to UE VCA, as compared to other VCA organs and to solid organs.
*Conclusions: UE amputees' insights can enable the informed consent process for UE VCA to become more patient-centered, and thereby help VCA candidates and participants become better prepared to undergo UE VCA. Our findings will be used to develop educational resources (e.g., a website, videos), which will provide comprehensive, standardized information to help potential recipients, their families, and the general public learn about UE VCA. Future research should assess differences in the informed consent and decision making processes across VCA organs.

Eels from Murtosa
When we were young, every September our family ate fried eels that came from Murtosa, a small town in the estuary of the Vouga river. The eels were marinated in "escabeche," a sauce made with olive oil, white wine, onions, paprika, laurel, and vinegar. These ingredients were combined according to ancient rules of alchemy so that when the eels, the sauce and boiled potatoes were placed on the plate, they transformed into culinary gold.
Eels are mysterious creatures. They spend their early years in fresh river waters. After reaching maturity, they swim to the middle of the Atlantic ocean to lay their eggs in the Sargasso Sea. The baby eels swim back in search of fresh river water and the cycle of life restarts.
How do the infant eels know where to go? And why do the best tasting eels end up in Murtosa? These are inscrutable mysteries.
Before refrigeration was available, the Murtosa eels were a local delicacy. The fisherman ate them fried or in a "caldeirada" that combines the fish with potatoes, tomato, onion, garlic, olive oil, lard, herbs, and spices.
In the first half of the 20th century, some local cooks started marinating fried eels in escabeche sauce. First they packed them in wooden barrels and later in tin cans. These marinated eels gained great fame and popularity in the center of Portugal.
Over time, eels became scarce, the number of fisherman declined, canning factories closed, and it became hard to find marinated eels. So imagine our surprise when, strolling in downtown Lisbon, we found a store called 1942 that specializes in marinated eels from Murtosa! The cans come from a factory that has been processing eels since 1942.
We took this precious find home and opened the can slowly, preparing to be disappointed. But, when we placed the eels, the sauce and boiled potatoes on a plate, the old magic flavors came to life and we felt young again.
The 1942 store is located on the corner of Rua da Conceição and Rua da Prata in Lisbon (tel. 21-_PHONE_).

Example usage
Here is an example of how to use the code to 'lift over' features aligned to a contig into a chromosomal coordinate space (i.e. using an AGP file).
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Bio::Location::Simple;
use Bio::Coordinate::Pair;
# Define the contig
my $ctg = Bio::Location::Simple->
 new( -seq_id => 'ctg', -start => 1, -end => 999, -strand => +1 );
# Define the contig's position in the chromosome
my $ctg_on_chr = Bio::Location::Simple->
 new( -seq_id => 'chr', -start => 2001, -end => 2999, -strand => -1 );
# Define the mapping between the two coordinate systems (as an object)
my $agp = Bio::Coordinate::Pair->
 new( -in => $ctg,
 -out => $ctg_on_chr
# Create an example'match' that has contig coordinates
my $match_on_ctg = Bio::Location::Simple->
 new( -seq_id => 'hit', -start => 25, -end => 125, -strand => +1 );
# Convert the match into chromosomal coordinates
my $match_on_chr = $agp->map( $match_on_ctg );
# (and print it)
 ), "\n";
which gives:
chr 2875 2975 -1
'Edge' cases
See the test script (and its results) on the talk page. Here is some commentary on that script:
What we see is that, that part of the feature to'map' that extends beyond the range of the '-in' sequence is (arbitrarily?) mapped to a 'gap' (a Bio::Coordinate::Result::Gap) on *that* sequence in the result (a Bio::Coordinate::Result). This gap has the seq_id and strand of *that* sequence, and that's that.
i.e. The Bio::Coordinate::Pair may define the position of (part of) a contig in a scaffold, and we may wish to'map' some features that are in 'contig coordinates' onto the scaffold to get the same features in'scaffold coordinates'. Any feature falling fully within the contig (or fully within that part of the contig that we specify when creating the Bio::Coordinate::Pair) is'mapped' as a single 'Match' (Bio::Coordinate::Result::Match) within the result.
If, however, feature (in 'contig coordinates') lies outside or across that part of the contig specified when creating the Bio::Coordinate::Pair, then that (part of) the feature is'mapped' as a single 'Gap' (Bio::Coordinate::Result::Gap) in the result. The gap is given in terms of the contig (i.e. it has the contig seq_id and the contig strand).
I'm really not sure of the semantics of this... It makes sense that, if we put half of one contig into one scaffold, for example, that we don't want features from the other half of the contig to be mapped onto the scaffold, but I don't know why we would want those features to turn up as gaps, but there you have it.

'Teachers are being appointed illegally'
Lesotho Times - - Big Interview -
THE Ministry of Education and Training is engaging various stakeholders as it looks at amending the Education Act of 2010. This move comes after the ministry realised since its inception five years ago, the Act has not been fully applicable due to "mistakes and omissions", according to Lesotho Association of Teachers (LAT) President Mosaletsane Kulehile. Among other provisions, the law introduced free and compulsory primary education.
LAT President Mosaletsane Kulehile speaks with Lesotho Times ( LT) reporter Lekhetho Ntsukunyane about the Act and the union's involvement in the ministry's quest to have it amended.
LT: The Education Act of 2010—could you tell us what this law entails and why it is being amended?
Kulehile: The Act simply tries to address general issues in the entire education system. These issues include teachers' concerns such as how they are promoted and transferred. However, the law has so many mistakes and omissions which is why together with the ministry and other stakeholders, we are working on an Amendment Bill to close those gaps. Basically, since it was passed in 2010, the Education Act has not been fully implemented due to a number of loopholes.
LT: What exactly are these loopholes?
Kulehile: The Act was made such that it should cover all educational issues, from early childhood to higher education. This is the first problem we encountered with this Act. As teachers, we expected it to address issues pertaining to basic education only. This is because already, there is a law which specifically addresses tertiary education issues. And now you find that there are conflicting issues between the two laws, confusing the entire education system. So in the Amendment Bill we are currently working on, we are recommending that there should be two separate departments; one being for basic education while the other one would concentrate on tertiary.
LT: Is the Education Act of 2010 the same law that introduced free education in public primary schools?
Kulehile: It is the same law which talks about compulsory and free education for all. However, this section is also imprecise. For instance, the law only stipulates how parents would be punished if their children are found not to be in school. However, it does not say what should happen with the children themselves if they refuse to go to school against their parents' will. The other bone of contention in the same law is its interpretation of words like 'teacher'. The law does not clearly explain what a teacher is. We, members of the LAT, have since made it clear in the recommendation for amendments, who should be a teacher. Not everybody who stands in front of learners is a teacher. It should be clear in the Act that a teacher is a qualified professional who is able to apply proper steps to develop the minds of the learners.
LT: What other areas in the Act are you
concerned about?
Kulehile: The law talks about people called inspectors. These inspectors are only based in Maseru and not in the districts. At district level, we only have education and senior education officers. The latter are people employed under the Public Service Commission, and not in the education system. The Act, therefore, does not say anything about them. But these are the people who administer everyday education issues at district level. The inspectors, on the other hand, are fully encompassed in the education law, but they are only in Maseru. They are used mostly to observe high schools, not primary education. So what we are saying in the amendments is we should have specific inspectors in the districts who will even observe early childhood schools. Those people should have relevant education and skills to deal specifically with early and basic education. Like I said, at the moment we have inspectors who are only skilled in observing high and tertiary schools. We don't want those people to also be used to inspect basic education because that is definitely not their area of expertise. We believe one of the factors which contribute to our deteriorating standard of education is this issue of inspectors.
Further, the law does not specifically explain what a student teacher is. The law does not say, in specific terms, whether a student teacher is someone enrolled at the Lesotho College of Education (LCE) or National University of Lesotho (NUL) or both institutions. On the same note, the law directs that there should not be anyone who stands before learners and teaches them without registering with the Teaching Council as a teacher. But again that contradicts with a section in the same Act which directs that student teachers, who are not yet registered with the Council, should be provided with internships to teach at schools! The law should then draw a clear distinction between a teacher and a student teacher and their roles at schools.
LT: Why is it important to register with the Teaching Council?
Kulehile: Teachers, like nurses and lawyers, should not be allowed to practice unless and until they are registered with a legitimate body in charge of the system. At the moment, we have the Teaching Council, which unfortunately, is not operative and effective because it comprises of many officials from the ministry. To make it worse, its chairperson is, in ex-officio terms, the Principal Secretary (PS) in the ministry. We all know that is a political appointment. And because of this, the Council is incapacitated. Most of the time, these officers are engaged in other administrative matters of the government. They are hardly concerned about teachers' issues.
LT: So if the teachers have to register with this ineffective Council, how have they been able to operate since the Act became law five years ago?
Kulehile: All teachers employed since 2010 have been appointed illegally because they have not registered with the Teaching Council as the Education Act of 2010 stipulates. However, this is because the Council has not been operat

The most prominent law in geography is Tobler's first law (TFL) of geography, which states that "everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things." No other law in geography has received more attention than TFL. It is important because many spatial statistical methods have been developed since its publication and, especially since the advent of geographic information system (GIS) and geospatial technology, have been conceptually based on it. These methods include global and local indicators of spatial autocorrelation (SA), spatial and spatial-temporal hotspots and cold spots, and spatial interpolation. All of these are highly relevant to spatial crime analysis, modeling, and mapping and will be discussed in the main part of this text.

What is bearer Cheque with example?
A bearer cheque is one that does not has the word 'Bearer' on the cheque cancelled.
The cheque sometimes can be made payable to Cash or bearer or made payable to a specific name, for example, Ahmad Osman or Bearer.
This cheque is payable by the drawee bank over the counter to the Bearer or presenter of the cheque..
What is a bearer in LTE?
In a mobile network using the Long Term Evolution (LTE) architecture, bearers are the tunnels used to connect the user equipment to Packet Data Networks (PDNs) such as the Internet. In practice, bearers are concatenated tunnels that connect the user equipment to the PDN through the Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW).
Who is bearer in promissory note?
n. anyone holding something, such as a check, promissory note, bank draft, or bond. This becomes important when the document (generally called a "negotiable instrument") states it is "payable to bearer," which means whoever holds this paper it can receive the funds due on it.
What does bearer instrument mean?
A bearer instrument, or bearer bond, is a type of fixed-income security in which no ownership information is recorded and the security is issued in physical form to the purchaser. The holder is presumed to be the owner, and whoever is in possession of the physical bond is entitled to the coupon payments.
What is an order bill of lading?
a bill of lading that is issued to the order of a shipper or consignee for delivery of the goods and that can be transferred by endorsement to third parties.
What is default and dedicated bearer?
This bearer is referred to as the default bearer. Any additional EPS bearer/E-RAB that is established to the same PDN is referred to as a dedicated bearer. The initial bearer-level QoS parameter values of the default bearer are assigned by the network based on subscription information.
What is a PDP address?
PDP stands for Packet Data Protocol. The PDP addresses are network layer addresses (Open Standards Interconnect [OSI] model Layer 3). GPRS systems support both X. 25 and IP network layer protocols. … All packet data traffic sent from the public packet data network for the PDP address goes through the gateway (GGSN).
Is self Cheque a bearer Cheque?
Exactingly the words 'Self', 'Our Selves' or 'pay cash' are not a noun, as persons of that name does not exit and therefore paid to the account holder. When a cheque endorsed in blank by the drawer, even an order cheque becomes a bearer cheque.

- LUX METER
- EXPOSURE METER
- FLASH METER
- SPOT METER
- COLOR METER
- FLICKER METER
As a luxmeter you can measure illuminance (density of luminous flux incident on a surface) from 0.1 to _PHONE_ lx.
By using the app in "exposure meter" mode you get an easy to use incident/reflected light meter and you can determine the proper exposure for a photograph.
LxMeter supports measurements of flash lights and can trigger a flash using the Bluetooth connection of your smartphone.
During flash mode the app can display the percentage of flash in total exposure.
LxMeter can also deal with landscapes or other distant objects by running its spot meter mode; you can measure luminance (cd/m2 or foot-lambert) and correlated color temperature (CCT).
A powerful analysis tools has been added to LxMeter in order to evaluate flicker performance of a light source according to IEEE 1789. You can detect harmonics up to 30kHz, display the frequency spectrum and get all the parameters commonly found in professional flicker-meters.
You can specify ISO speed and exposure time and let the app show in real time the optimal aperture value or set the aperture and read the exposure time.
You can easily switch between shutter speed priority and aperture priority or just run the manual mode and take note of the exposure level indicator.
LxMeter allows you to add some notes to your personal archive. Exposure and location information will be added automatically. You can save all the notes about a photographic project in the internal archive and use them as reference later at the time of the final shots.
Please, note that for maximum performance this app requires an external sensor of the SS04 product line. As alternative you can use the internal light sensor of your phone (if it has one) but in this case the accuracy of measurements will vary depending on the phone.

Clarice Lispector - Biography
Clarice Lispector (_PHONE_) was a Brazilian novelist and short story writer. Her innovation in fiction brought her international renown. References to her literary work pervade the music and literature of Brazil and Latin America.
Clarice Lispector was born in Chechelnyk, Podolio, Ukraine on the ninth of December 1920. She was the youngest daughter of a Jewish family. They were targeted during pogroms that happened during the political turmoil of the early twentieth century. Clarice Lispector's older sister Elisa would write about these experiences in her novel No Exilio. After the destruction and instability of Ukraine in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Civil War, the family fled to Romania.
From Romania, the Lispectors would sail to Brazil in 1922. Clarice Lispector's mother had family who lived there. She was still very young when her family relocated to Maceió, Alagoas in the northeast of Brazil. On arriving in their new homeland, the children were to receive new names. Lispector's first name had been Chaya before she was renamed Clarice. Her mother health deteriorated prompting a move to the larger community of Recife, Pernambuco. Lispector's mother, finally, passed away in 1930.
Clarice Lispector was educated at the Colégio Hebreo-Idisch-Brasileiro. The school offered normal educational sources in addition to offering Hebrew and Yiddish language courses. The Ginásio Pernambucano admitted Lispector in 1932. This institution was the most academically respected in the region. In 1933, Clarice Lispector encountered Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf. This novel convinced Clarice Lispector that she was meant to write.
In 1935, the remainder of Clarice Lispector's immediate family moved to Rio de Janeiro. Her father hoped that by moving to the capital he would have more business opportunities. She would enter the Law School of the University of Brazil in 1937. During this period of education, Lispector would publish pieces of journalism for Agência Nacional and A Noite. She also wrote short fiction. Her first piece of short fiction,"Triunfo", was published by the journal Pan in 1940. This same year, Clarice Lispector's father would die from complications from a medical procedure.
Clarice Lispector published her Perto do Coração Selvagem in 1943 when she was the tender age of twenty-three. This novel recounts the inner life of Joana. The style of this book was very innovative. The next year she was awarded the Graça Aranha Prize for the best first novel. Many felt she had given Brazillian literature a unique voice in the larger context of Portuguese literature. Her examination of the internal lives of her characters was reminiscent of the style of Virginia Woolf and James Joyce.
In 1944, Clarice Lispector married Maury Gurgel Valente, a young Brazillian diplomat. To complete the legal obligations for the marriage, Clarice Lispector was required to become nationalized. Valente moved the couple to Belem in northern Brazil. He worked with foreign nationals who were using Brazil as a base of operations for the military actions of World War II.
In 1944, the couple traveled to Naples, Italy for Valente's work. He was stationed at the Brazilian Consulate. This city was the center of operations for the Brazilian soldiers who were fighting against the Nazis. For the next fifteen years, Clarice Lispector traveled throughout the United States and America. While in Italy, Lispector became acquainted with Giuseppe Ungaretti. The Italian poet would translate excerpts of her first novel. Giorgio de Chirico painted her portrait. But perhaps her most significant action was that she finished the O Lustre.
In 1946, Clarice Lispector and her husband would move to Bern, Switzerland after a short trip to Brazil. Clarice Lispector found life in Switzerland suffocatingly boring. Over the course of their residence in Switzerland, her boredom deteriorated into depression. Despite her melancholy, Clarice Lispector was able to compose her third novel A cidade sitiada. In 1948, Clarice Lispector gave birth to Pedro Gurgel Valente.
In A cidade sitiada or The Besieged City Clarice Lispector recounts the story of Lucrécia Neves as her life relates to the growth of São Geraldo. Lispector utilizes metaphors of sight as a unifying trope. In contrast to her normal glowing reviews, her third novel was unloved.
In 1949, Clarice Lispector and her family returned to Brazil. They lived in Rio de Janeiro for a year before moving to Torquay, Devon. Her husband was appointed a delegate to the General Agreement of Tariffs and Trade. The family remained in England for most of 1951. However while in London, Clarice Lispector had a miscarriage, prompting a return to Brazil.
Clarice Lispector's Alguns contos was published in 1952 when she had returned to Rio de Janeiro. The Ministry of Education and Health was the organ through which this slim bolume was published. She would later use much of this material for her novel Laços de família published 1961. Lispector began to write for a newspaper Comício. For this newspaper she wrote under the name Teresa Quadros.
During the fall of 1952, Clarice Lispector and her family relocated once again. This time the family moved to the capital of the United States, Washington D.C. The family would remain in this city for seven years. During this time she became an intimate friend with Erico Verissimo, another Brazillian writer. The Rio de Janeiro journal Senhor published many of Lispector's pieces of short fiction during this period.
Life as a diplomat's wife made Clarice Lispector miserable. The years away from her family made her feel increasingly lonely. In 1959, Lispector with her children returned to Brazil. She wrote her most influential novels including The Passion According to G.H. as well as Family Ties (or Laços de família).
After returning to Brazil, Clarice Lispector faced economic hardships. She strove to get a publisher interested in Family Ties. The book incorporated much of the short fiction that Clarice Lispector had written before 1960. Many view this work as one of the quintessential Brazilian short fiction.
A paixão segundo G.H or The Passion According to G.H. has become one of the most famous books of Clarice Lispector's career. The book is viewed by many to represent her finest and most groundbreaking work. In this work, Clarice Lispector recounts the story of a wealthy woman who has a transcendental experience after confronting a cockroach.
In 1966, Clarice Lispector was injured. She had taken a pill to help her sleep. When she passed out, Lispector was still holding a lit cigarette. The burn was so severe that doctors considered complete amputation of her hand. For the next eleven years, Clarice Lispector wrote despite her pain.
In 1967, Clarice Lispector released O Mistério do coelho pensante translated into English as The Mystery of the Thinking Rabbit. This was her first attempt at writing a book for children. She also returned to writing newspapers columns. This time she wrote for Jornal do Brasil. Many of these publications were gathered into a collection after her death called A Descoberta do mundo or The Discovery of the World.
The following year, Clarice Lispector took part in the protests against the military rule of Brazil. She continued writing both fiction and pieces of journalism. She started conducting interviews for the magazine Manchete. In the years that followed, she began to paint. She also translated the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Oscar Wilde.
The First World Congress of Sorcery in Bogota invited Clarice Lispector to attend in 1975. A translation of her story "The Egg and the Hen" was read at the convention. This story was chosen for its mixture of occult and spiritual elements.
In 1977, Clarice Lispector published A Hora da estrela or The Hour of the Star. This novel examines poverty and power relationships in Brazil. This was also the year that Clarice Lispector succumbed to ovarian cancer.

A more in depth look at each setting within a Vray material for version Vray 2.0.
Diffuse
Diffuse
This is the actual colour of the surface, reflection and refraction colours can affect the visual appearance of this colour. It is important to understand that no material in the real world is pure white RGB (25,255,255) nor pure black RGB (0,0,0). When creating a white or black material, set the colour values to an off white RGB (245,245,245) / black RGB (2,2,2). If you render an object that is pure white or pure black you will notice that there is no contrast. The light rays are bouncing all over the place, and not being absorbed.
Roughness
Can be used to simulate dust on a surface by controlling the way the surface reflects direct light.
Reflection
Reflect
Like diffuse it uses a colour value to determine the reflection strength. White RGB (255,255,255) is fully reflective and black RGB (0,0,0) is not reflective at all. By using colour instead of grey scale you will get coloured reflections. You would commonly use a grey scale value to determine the reflection strength and there is no right or wrong value so you will have to take your best judgement. However the following can be used as a guide.
By default the reflection colour acts as a filter for the diffuse colour and the stronger the reflection colour the dimmer the diffuse colour.

Fresnel reflections
Most materials except metals have a Fresnel reflection, making the reflection strong at glancing angles but weak at more front on angles. A good example of this would be to look at an old CRT monitor, where the viewing panel is glass. If you position yourself to the side of the monitor and look into the glass you will clearly see a reflection of the environment, but if you position yourself directly in front you will notice that the reflection is reduced. Fresnel is a good approximation and is as close to physically correct materials as you can get whilst keeping the rendering times low.
The Fresnel Effect was first documented by the French physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel (_PHONE_). Fresnel studied the behaviour of light and how it was transmitted and spread by different objects.
IOR stands for index of refraction and is used to measure how light refracts through a surface relative to the viewing angle (Yourself), confusing at first but read on. Place a stick in a pool of water, notice how the stick bends below the water surface? As light passes through the water surface it changes speed and bends.
IOR can also be used to measure reflection and how light reflects off a surface relative to the viewing angle (Yourself) and although calculated in a slightly different way they are usually directly proportional. Therefore the same IOR value is a good approximation for both reflection and refraction. This is why by default it is locked to the refraction IOR. A formula known as Snell's law is used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence (Viewing angle) and refraction which gives you the IOR.
You can find many IOR tables on the internet and they all give different values for real world materials. The truth is there is no actual value, it depends purely on the material and its characteristics such as dirt, scratches rust and so on. But if you need a value then below is a good starting point for the most common materials.
- Water 1.333
- Glass 1.5 - 1.6
- Diamonds 2.13
- Compound materials such as wood, stone, concrete etc. 3 - 4
- Plastics 5 – 8
If an IOR of 1 is used, then light reflects/passes off/through the surface without changing direction, meaning it has the same density as air. Materials such as glass allow light to pass through, but also reflect. The ratio between reflection and refraction is dependent on the viewing angle. Geometry must have a thickness to refract properly. If you have window glass that has no thickness use an IOR of 1.0.
You can control the Fresnel reflection using a falloff map. However this method is known for rendering slower than the built in Fresnel control.
A falloff map will create a transition between the front and side colours (By default front is black, sides are white). It will use the falloff type to determine the type of reflection. With Fresnel selected, the black colour will be positioned front on angles and it will transition to white as it becomes more of a glancing angle. You can change that falloff by adjusting the IOR value, or by adjusting the output curve, or both.
Highlight glossiness
In the real world highlights are reflections of light sources and the surrounding objects. In computer graphics there are two different methods to calculate the same effect. The first is to make no distinction between lights and objects. The second is to treat lights separate from objects. One may be desired over the other for a particular scene.
By default highlight glossiness is locked to the reflective glossiness because in the real world they are the same thing. Highlight glossiness is better known as specular. It takes the reflection of a direct light and adds it to the surface of the material, since direct light is usually round the specular highlight is therefore round.
The 3ds Max Scanline renderer calculates reflection this way, and although unrealistic it is still favoured by some for artistic reasons. In reality reflections come from the area of the light source such as a bulb, therefore it would not be round and it would have certain characteristics. If the highlight glossiness is unlocked you can control its shape separate from the reflection glossiness. This has become part of the method for achieving car paint materials.
Reflection glossiness
A value of 1.0 means the reflection is mirror, lower values mean the reflection is more blurred. The more blurred the reflection the longer it takes to calculate.
Subdivs
This controls the quality of the reflection glossiness. The higher the reflective glossiness, the lower subdivisions you can have. If the subdivisions are too low the result will be very noisy.
Use interpolation
You can cache glossy reflections to speed up rendering. Since light cache for glossy rays has been introduced, this method is somewhat redundant as the results were never that good.
Dim distance
You can set the maximum distance a reflection ray will travel. As an example, if set to 100mm, anything outside the 100mm radius will not be reflected.
Dim fall off
A fall off radius for the dim distance.
Max depth
Controls the amount of times a light ray can reflect. A max depth of 1 means only 1 reflection on the surface and a max depth of 2 means that a reflection of a reflection can occur on the surface. Higher values increase render times.
Exit colour
When the max depth has been reached it will use the exit colour. You may reduce the max depth to keep render times low and instead rely on the exit colour. In most cases you would set the exit colour the same as the diffuse colour such as for a green glass bottle.
Refraction
Refract
A colour value is used to determine the refraction strength. White RGB (255,255,255) is fully refractive and black RGB (0,0,0) is not refractive at all. By using colour instead of grey scale you will get coloured refractions. You would commonly use a grey scale value to determine the refraction strength and there is no right or wrong value so you will have to take your best judgement. However the following can be used as a guide.
By default the reflection colour acts as a filter for the diffuse colour and the stronger the reflection colour the dimmer the diffuse colour. For tinted glass


Mathematical model on the sensing behavior of a biooxidation biosensor
Authors
Abstract
A phenomenological model developed describes the steady-state sensing characteristics of a biosensor based on biooxidation of organic solutes by dissolved oxygen. The model is experimentally verified using a recently developed dopamine sensor that enzymatically oxidizes dopamine by polyphenolase in apple tissues. It adequately describes its steady-state sensing characteristics, including the effects of mass of immobilized apple fines in the biofilm, temperature, and pH of the substrate solution. The parameters provide a basis for evaluating the suitability of different bioactive materials or the same bioactive material from different sources for biosensor fabrication. At zero thickness of the membranes and biofilm, the model describes the sensing characteristics of a dissolved oxygen probe in which the oxygen diffusivity through the Teflon membrane is 9.83 × 10−11 m2/s, comparable with a previously reported value. It can also describe the sensing behavior of any nonbiocatalyzed oxidation-related sensor in a two-substrate system simply by replacing the governing faradaic equations for the dissolved oxygen probe with those appropriate to the type of probe used.

Hamlin M. Jennings, adjunct professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and principal investigator in the Concrete Sustainability Hub, died on July 8 at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, after a battle with cancer. He was 68.
A prominent scientist and engineer, Jennings was widely recognized as a preeminent researcher and leader in the field of cement chemistry. He developed fundamentals of cement sciences that were transformational in concrete engineering applications, including the first fully quantitative model of the nanostructure of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), the major component of hydrated cement.
Jennings joined the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub in 2010 as the inaugural executive director, leading a multi-disciplinary team of physicists, materials scientists, engineers and architects, and pushing them to new frontiers of science-based engineering.
When Jennings started his career in cement science in the late 1970s, the field was classically divided in two branches: cement chemistry and mechanics. Only a small number of researchers were exploring the intersection of chemistry, materials science, and mechanics. Trained as a physicist and materials scientist, Jennings recognized that a true materials science approach for cementitious materials remained to be developed. For the next 35 years, he led advances in the field, ultimately defining what is now known as the materials science of cement-based materials.
Jennings was born on August 4, 1946, in Massachusetts. His father was a professional accountant. His mother was a professor of chemistry at Wheaton College. He graduated with a BS in physics from Tufts University in 1969, and a PhD in materials science from Brown University in 1975. Following a research fellow position at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, he began studying cementitious materials at Imperial College in London, where he was strongly influenced by Hal F.W. Taylor, considered the father of modern cement chemistry.
Jennings joined the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the U.S. Department of Commerce as a physical scientist from 1982 to 1987, where he built a group in computational materials science of concrete aimed, for the first time, at blending physical chemistry of cement with prediction of mechanical behavior. During this time, he developed the first computer model of cement hydration. This groundbreaking work was quickly recognized by his contemporaries and it launched a whole new field of computational cement science, leading ultimately to the development of NIST's Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory.
Jennings joined Northwestern University as an associate professor in 1987, becoming a full professor in 1994 and serving as chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering from 2002 to 2006. Jennings' growing scientific reputation was instrumental in the establishment at Northwestern of the Advanced Cement-Based Materials Research Center, a National Science Foundation-sponsored multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary research center aimed at expanding and improving the application of cement and concrete to meet society's pressing future needs for housing, shelter, hospitals, and infrastructure.
Jennings broke new ground in cement science in the mid-1980s with his proposition that the performance of concrete materials can be captured in terms of quasi-equilibrium phase diagrams of the hydration products. A decade later, this fundamental contribution enabled the development of ultra-high-performance concrete, which attains properties like mild steel, and which revolutionized the concrete world. In research, these phase diagrams became the foundation for the implementation of molecular science approaches of cement hydrates, the binding phase of concrete.
In 2000, Jennings published his most widely cited and influential paper, entitled simply "A model for the microstructure of calcium-silicate-hydrate in cement paste." This was known for years as the "colloid model" of C-S-H, and more recently and appropriately, as the "Jennings model" of C-S-H. Hamlin continued to refine and extend the model and its associated insights into the nanostructure and behavior of C-S-H, particularly with regard to the role of water in the smallest pores and spaces. He published a major update to his model in 2008 called "CM-II" that described the internal structure of the fundamental C-S-H particles. He led a large group of researchers to publish, just one week before his death, an important paper on the hysteresis behavior of water in C-S-H during drying and rewetting.
The Jennings Colloid Model closed the loop between molecular understanding and manufacturing of cement-based materials so that it is now possible to design cement-based materials with specific strength, fracture and durability properties. These quantitative breakthroughs on the science front resulted in many industrial concrete materials innovations, including seeded cement-based materials, innovative cement-based materials for oiland gas well applications, and silicate-based protective coatings for metals.
Jennings' most recent research efforts at MIT were aimed at developing sustainable cement-based materials to meet India's need for housing and infrastructure. In this research, he returned to the very foundation of his unique thermodynamic framework for cementitious materials, at the intersection of materials science and mechanics as a basis for predicting and fine-tuning long-term durability properties.
Jennings, an entrepreneurial inventor who carried his research findings all the way from the lab to full commercial production, was also a highly sought consultant for the concrete and cement industry, the glass and fiberglass industry, and real-estate development. With his unique blend of science-inspired engineering, he proposed a new vision for cement-based materials in the 21st century — one that capitalizes on the availability of the raw materials and recognizes the social impact of the concrete on our living conditions while minimizing the environmental footprint.
Throughout his distinguished career, Jennings was dedicated educator, an inspiring instructor, and a generous and encouraging mentor. He left a lasting impact on his many students and colleagues; in the classroom, on the drawing tables and whiteboards in his offices at Northwestern University and MIT, and through the more than 200 scholarly papers he authored and co-authored.
Hamlin Jennings is survived by his wife, Glenys Jennings; his mother, Bojan Jennings; and his daughter, Ashley Jennings.

INHERITANCE OF BITTERNESS IN CUCUMBER
Three cucumber inbred lines with different types of bitterness: bitter in both foliage and fruit (BiBiBtBt), bitterfree in both foliage and fruit (bibibtbt), and bitter in foliage only (BiBibtbt,) were used as materials to examine the segregation ratios of the F1, F2, and BC1 progeny. The results showed that the genes controlling foliage bitterness, Bi and bi, act independently of those controlling fruit bitterness, Bt and bt, and that bi is epistatically recessive to Bt. Fruits are also bitter when Bi and bi are heterozygous, even in the absence of Bt, although the extent of bitterness is less than that caused by Bt, and the proportion of bitter fruit is lower.

An air pump for aquariums is an advantage during the night since plants need light to produce oxygen. In thinly planted aquariums the air pump supplies the necessary water circulation. In aquariums with dense planting the air pump provides the aquarium with oxygen at night, since the number of plants means the oxygen concentration can drop to a dangerous level. When disease is present in the aquarium the air pump increases the oxygen level in the water, an essential condition for many medications.
Simple to connect
Connect hose with air pump. Cut air hose and insert check valve. Cut the remaining hose to the desired length. Connect one end with check valve and other end with air stone. If possible mount the pump on the wall next to the aquarium. Hook for hanging up attached.

What is the pressure inside my Propane Tank?
That is an important question!
- Propane pressure is directly related to the ambient temperature. For example, any volume of propane contained in a propane tank at 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the pressure is about 128 psi, at 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the pressure is about 78 psi and at zero degrees Fahrenheit, the propane pressure can reduce to 24 psi. Therefore, using appliances in colder climates can present issues that require professional assistance.

A neutral grievance procedure allows a member of the union to file a grievance if any part of the contract is not being enforced. The grievance procedure would ensure a fair process for PARs to have their grievance heard and addressed by the University in a timely manner. If the grievance is not resolved, a PAR would have the ability to go to arbitration, in which a neutral third party would resolve the dispute. A fair grievance procedure will make our contract stronger and more enforceable, e.g. by providing PARs with stronger recourse against discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying. At UConn, for example, graduate assistants have used their grievance process to successfully resolve instances of harassment.
- Why have postdoctoral researchers formed a union?
- Do I automatically become a member if I signed an authorization card at some point during our campaign?

Propofol detection and quantification in human blood: the promise of feedback controlled, closed-loop anesthesia
The performance of a membrane-coated voltammetric sensor for propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) has been characterized in long term monitoring experiments using an automated flow analytical system (AFAS) and by analyzing human serum and whole blood samples by standard addition. It is shown that the signal of the membrane-coated electrochemical sensor for propofol is not influenced by the components of the pharmaceutical formulation of propofol (propofol injectable emulsion). The current values recorded with the electrochemical propofol sensor in buffer solutions and human serum samples spiked with propofol injectable emulsion showed excellent correlation with the peak heights recorded with an UV-Vis detector during the HPLC analysis of these samples (R2 = 0.997 in PBS and R2 = 0.975 in human serum). However, the determination of propofol using the electrochemical method is simpler, faster and has a better detection limit (0.08 ± 0.05 μM) than the HPLC method (0.4 ± 0.2 μM). As a first step towards feedback controlled closed-loop anesthesia, the membrane-coated electrochemical sensor has been implemented onto surface of an intravenous catheter. The response characteristics of the membrane-coated carbon fiber electrode on the catheter surface were very similar to those seen using a macroelectrode.

Knowing the difference between arguments and parameters can be important.
But before we begin, just a quick note that our new course, Fundamentals of Angular, is out and completely free. That's right. 100% free. Nothing behind a paywall. This isn't a half course or anything. This is the whole enchilada. Go check it out.
And for a video version of this blog, click here.
I recently ran a quick little twitter poll to see if people, in general, knew the difference between parameters and arguments. The results of the poll were quite interesting.

Only 50% of people were confident with the difference between arguments and parameters, which makes this a good subject to review.
An argument is the value you pass into a function. A parameter is the name the function assigns to that value. That is the difference. Often times we use these two terms interchangeably, and most of the time the difference is unimportant. But it can matter, so learning the difference, and learning to use the appropriate term at the appropriate time can help with communication of all kinds.

In the above example, "itemName" and "quantity" are parameters, and "handSanitizer" and 300 are arguments.
This actually clues us in as to why the arguments object in JavaScript is named arguments, and not parameters. Arguments are the values, not the names. The arguments object contains the values, but doesn't care about the names.
If you're not familiar with the arguments object, it's a global object that gives you information about the arguments used in the function call for the current context.
So in this example:
Image for post
Image for post
Notice how the arguments object was never created or referenced, it just exists. Inside that function, those three calls will log out "2", "Hand Sanitizer" and "300" respectively.
Now, why is there an arguments object when we have the named parameters anyway?
Well, JavaScript is just so loosey-goosey that it doesn't care if you pass it more arguments than there are parameters.
Now, look at the sentence I just typed. This is a GREAT example of why we need to understand the difference between arguments and parameters. If you use those two terms interchangeably, then the sentence makes no sense. But they're not the same thing. And understanding them lets us learn about things like the arguments object.
So continuing on, you can pass more arguments than there are parameters. Let's look at a case for this. Let's say we want a function that can receive a list of numbers and add them all up, but doesn't require that they're in an array, and can instead be passed in as separate arguments. Doing this with separate arguments would be impossible, and even if we do our best it's messy.
Image for post
Image for post
But with the arguments object, this is trivial. Since the arguments object only has the arguments that were already passed in, it's basically an array of numbers we just add up.
Image for post
Image for post
Unfortunately, arguments is only an array-like object, and not a full array, so we can't do things like reduce().
But thank you EcmaScript for coming to the rescue here. The Rest Parameter is a way to get the best of both worlds.
A rest parameter is a special parameter in a function signature (good thing we know what a parameter is vs. an argument) that is signified by three dots before it. It must be the very last parameter in a function signature. This parameter receives all the arguments that don't have named parameters already, and is an array of those arguments.
So our new AddEverythingUp method would look like this:
Image for post
Image for post
You can mix in named parameters (only before the rest parameter).
Image for post
Image for post
So for most uses, a rest parameter is preferred over the arguments object, and many developers now consider the arguments object to be a code smell.
And that's the rest parameter, and also arguments and parameters. Think you get it? Try this challenge and see if you can solve it!
How to learn five times faster
Here at Thinkster, we use educational science to teach yo five times faster than just about anything else out there. How? With proper instruction based on educational principles and hands-on exercises, you will retain 75% to 90% of what you learn. Without these techniques, you only remember 7% to 15% of what you learn. That's why you can watch a video or a course or read a blog and feel like you need to watch a couple more before you really "get it".
You can see this in action in our courses. And you can get it for free in our Fundamentals of Angular course. Go check it out.
Happy Coding!

Having children and a disability of your own (Om du har barn och har funktionsnedsättning)
Svensk version av sidan
If you have children, it is good idea to talk to your child about your disability. It can help you to understand each other and make everyday life easier. The text is written in an easy to read language (lättläst).
It is important for you as a parent and adult to listen to children's questions and thoughts. It is important to talk to your child about your disability.
You can talk about different situations where the disability affects your family. It may be, for instance, explaining what happens if you get stressed. The children need to understand for themselves and be able to explain it to friends and others.
What can the habilitation clinics (habiliteringscenter) do?
The habilitation clinics can support you when talking to your child about your disability. We can talk to you, with your child or with you together. It can depend on your needs and how old the child is.
If you need more support with other health care, we will help you find the right one. This can be, for example, at child and adolescent psychiatry (BUP) or a healthcare centre (vårdcentral).
What does the law say?
The Healthcare Act states that children have the right to information and support. Everyone who works in healthcare should be able to give it to the children.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that all children have the right to say what they think when it concerns them.
In order for the healthcare staff to be able to help the children, we ask all patients if they live with children under the age of 18. It can be your own children, someone else's child or siblings.
If you have questions
If you have questions about children and your disability, you can talk to someone at the habilitation clinic you are in contact with. You can also ask to talk to the children's representative (barnombud). There is a children's representative at each adult habilitation center.

The conversion factor from gallons to quarts for both fluid and dry volume measurement is 4 (gallon is 4 times larger than quart). To find out how many quarts in gallons, simply multiply by 4 or use the converter below.
1 Gallon = 4 Quarts [US, UK, fluid or dry]
Gallon and quart are volume measurement units in imperial and US customary systems. There are fluid and dry measurement for both units in US customary but in not imperial system. The abbreviation for gallon is "gal" and for quart "qt".
For quart to gallon converter, please go to gallon to quart

noting that, despite appearances, \theta = 0 is not a solution (as can be checked from the original form of this equality, unless x and y are infinite, in which case the expression is clearly non-negative, as we show towards the end of this post). This leaves us with \theta = \pi and
\cos(\theta) (\tan^{-2}(\theta/2)-xy) = \sin(\theta)(x+y-2\tan^{-1}(\theta/2)),
as candidates for where the minimum may be. A quick check shows that:
F(\pi,x,y) = 4 \int_0^x \frac{s^4}{(1+s^2)^2} ds+4 \int_0^y \frac{s^4}{(1+s^2)^2} ds \ge 0,
since x and y are non-negative. The following obvious substitution becomes our greatest ally for the rest of the proof:
x= \alpha \tan^{-1}(\theta/2), \, y = \beta \tan^{-1}(\theta/2).
Substituting the above in the remaining condition for \partial_\theta F(\theta,x,y) = 0, and using again that \tan^{-1}(\theta/2) = (1+\cos\theta)/\sin\theta, we get:
\cos\theta (1-\alpha\beta) = (1-\cos\theta) ((\alpha-1) + (\beta-1)),
which can be further simplified to (if you are paying attention to minus signs and don't waste a week on a wild-goose chase like I did):
\cos\theta = \frac{1}{1-\beta}+\frac{1}{1-\alpha}.
As Greg loves to say, we are finally cooking with gas. Note that the expression is symmetric in \alpha and \beta, which should be obvious from the symmetry of F(\theta,x,y) in x and y. That observation will come in handy when we take derivatives with respect to x and y now. Factoring (\cos\theta)^3 -3\cos\theta -2 = - (1+\cos\theta)^2(2-\cos\theta), we get:
\partial_x F(\theta,x,y) = 0 \implies \sin^3(\theta) y + 4\frac{x^4}{(1+x^2)^2} = (1+\cos\theta)^2 + \sin^2\theta (1+\cos\theta).
Substituting x and y with \alpha \tan^{-1}(\theta/2), \beta \tan^{-1}(\theta/2), respectively and using the identities \tan^{-1}(\theta/2) = (1+\cos\theta)/\sin\theta and \tan^{-2}(\theta/2) = (1+\cos\theta)/(1-\cos\theta), the above expression simplifies significantly to the following expression:
4\alpha^4 =\left((\alpha^2-1)\cos\theta+\alpha^2+1\right)^2 \left(1 + (1-\beta)(1-\cos\theta)\right).
Using \cos\theta = \frac{1}{1-\beta}+\frac{1}{1-\alpha}, which we derived earlier by looking at the extrema of F(\theta,x,y) with respect to \theta, and noting that the global minimum would have to be an extremum with respect to all three variables, we get:
4\alpha^4 (1-\beta) = \alpha (\alpha-1) (1+\alpha + \alpha(1-\beta))^2,
where we used 1 + (1-\beta)(1-\cos\theta) = \alpha (1-\beta) (\alpha-1)^{-1} and
(\alpha^2-1)\cos\theta+\alpha^2+1 = (\alpha+1)((\alpha-1)\cos\theta+1)+\alpha(\alpha-1) = \\ (\alpha-1)(1-\beta)^{-1} (2\alpha + 1-\alpha\beta).
We may assume, without loss of generality, that x \ge y. If \alpha = 0, then \alpha = \beta = 0, which leads to the contradiction \cos\theta = 2, unless the other condition, \theta = \pi, holds, which leads to F(\pi,0,0) = 0. Dividing through by \alpha and re-writing 4\alpha^3(1-\beta) = 4\alpha(1+\alpha)(\alpha-1)(1-\beta) + 4\alpha(1-\beta), yields:
4\alpha (1-\beta) = (\alpha-1) (1+\alpha - \alpha(1-\beta))^2 = (\alpha-1)(1+\alpha\beta)^2,
which can be further modified to:
4\alpha +(1-\alpha\beta)^2 = \alpha (1+\alpha\beta)^2,
and, similarly for \beta (due to symmetry):
4\beta +(1-\alpha\beta)^2 = \beta (1+\alpha\beta)^2.
Subtracting the two equations from each other, we get:
4(\alpha-\beta) = (\alpha-\beta)(1+\alpha\beta)^2,
which implies that \alpha = \beta and/or \alpha\beta =1. The first leads to 4\alpha (1-\alpha) = (\alpha-1)(1+\alpha^2)^2, which immediately implies \alpha = 1 = \beta (since the left and right side of the equality have opposite signs otherwise). The second one implies that either \alpha+\beta =2, or \cos\theta =1, which follows from the earlier equation \cos\theta (1-\alpha\beta) = (1-\cos\theta) ((\alpha-1) + (\beta-1)). If \alpha+\beta =2 and 1 = \alpha\beta, it is easy to see that \alpha=\beta=1 is the only solution by expanding (\sqrt{\alpha}-\sqrt{\beta})^2=0. If, on the other hand, \cos\theta = 1, then looking at the original form of F(\theta,x,y), we see that F(0,x,y) = 6\pi - 6\arctan(x) +2x/(1+x^2) -6\arctan(y) +2y/(1+y^2) \ge 0, since x,y \ge 0 \implies \arctan(x)+\arctan(y) \le \pi.
And that concludes the proof, since the only cases for which all three conditions are met lead to \alpha = \beta = 1 and, hence, x=y=\tan^{-1}(\theta/2). The minimum of F(\theta, x,y) at these values is always zero. That's right, all this work to end up with "nothing". But, at least, the last four weeks have been anything but dull.
Update: Greg offered Lemma 7.4 from the same paper as another challenge (the sines, cosines and tangents are now transformed into hyperbolic trigonometric functions, with a few other changes, mostly in signs, thrown in there). This is a more hardcore-looking inequality, but the proof turns out to follow the steps of Lemma 7.1 almost identically. In particular, all the conditions for extrema are exactly the same, with the only difference being that cosine becomes hyperbolic cosine. It is an awesome exercise in calculus to check this for yourself. Do it. Unless you have something better to do.

 2. Let me say that the mathematics beyond "the most well-known trigonometric identity of all time" is mostly intractable to me but still this was an enjoyable, very readable and engaging narrative.
 Thanks for sharing your story – it highlights the human aspect in problem solving.
 - Thanks Terry. Indeed, the math used here may seem intractable to most non-practicing mathematicians, but nothing is beyond high school level algebra, trigonometry and basic calculus. The hard part is the "how did he know to do that substitution, or re-write the expression in that other form"? The cases where this was not obvious in my writing are the cases that required two weeks of looking at trigonometric identities until they were my best friends.
 - What a rude and spiteful comment: Spyridon emphatically says he worked out this problem just for fun, with no pretensions to grandeur. You know what the mark of a small, pathetic mind is? Trivializing someone else's work solely in order to self-aggrandize.
 - It's not that bad. Perhaps Jack doesn't have a lot of experience reading about the weeks often spent "barking up the wrong tree" in research, and just wanted to apprise us of another interesting anecdote.

Complex Adaptive Socio-Technical Systems – The Role of Socio-Technical Networks in New Product Development
51 Pages Posted: 29 Jan 2014
Date Written: January 15, 2014
New product development (NPD) is challenging, as it involves mastering new technologies by coordinating appropriate resources efficiently and effectively. Established models of NPD focus on structuring, planning and ordering the innovation process but do not account for complexity and organizational responses and strategies in handling day-to-day resource allocation and decision-making.
Our work is theoretically based on ideas from complexity science and NPD procedures. We build on and extend the work on Complex Adaptive System (CAS) and combine it with Socio-Technical System in an innovative approach to analyze, understand and manage NPD complexity by means of network analysis and performance metrics.
This paper contributes to existing literature by introducing a framework of complex adaptive socio-technical systems (CASS). It is intended to (1) consider dependencies between product and individuals, (2) provide indicators to measure complexity, efficiency and effectiveness, (3) explain complex phenomena by identifying patterns, and (4) enable NPD governance.
We demonstrate the applicability of our framework and metrics using comparative longitudinal case studies using novel and unique data from 4 years of meeting minutes and document exchange in the design phase of the NPD process of a large German automobile OEM. Results reveal new measures for addressing operational, social and technical complexity, providing new insights into complex dynamic behavior. From a managerial point of view, contributions of CASS are twofold: First, new possibilities for NPD governance emerge from performance indicators. Second, the extraction of dynamic socio-technical networks supports project-to-project learning.

TY - JOUR AB - Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic method to perform analysis and test for vibration‐thermal strain behavior of plastic ball grid array (PBGA) assembly by considering thermal and vibration loading mode. Also to investigate the dynamic behavior of PBGA assembly by considering loading modes for design and reliability evaluation of PBGA packaging.Design/methodology/approach– A PBGA assembly prototype with different structure and material parameters is designed and manufactured. Based on investigation of the structural and physical parameters of PBGA sample, the vibration‐thermal strain test is developed to measure the strain distribution at the surface of the BT (bismaleimide triazine) substrates and PCB (printed circuit board) surface under vibration‐thermal cycling loading such as random vibration and the temperature is changed from 0°C to 100°C.Findings– The test results show that the loading modes have different impact on PCB, EMC and substrate, respectively. In the meantime, it is shown that the characteristics of the compound mode is not the linear accumulative result by single vibration mode and single thermal loading mode as forecasted. The nonlinear mechanism for these modes application is the future work for progress.Research limitations/implications– It is very difficult to set up a numerical approach to illustrate the validity of the testing approach because the complex loading modes and the complex structure of PBGA assembly. The research on an accurate mathematical model of the PBGA assembly prototype is a future work.Practical implications– It implies a potential design characteristic for future application of PBGA assembly.

Pink cockatoo or Major Mitchell?
Often called a pink cockatoo due to its soft pink body colouring, the Major Mitchell cockatoo is in fact named after Major Sir Thomas Mitchell, who was a surveyor and explorer of south-east Australia during the 1800s.
Faithful Lovers
During the mating season, males attract females by strutting along branches bobbing their heads with their crests raised. Like many Australian cockatoos, adult pairs mate for life and return to the same breeding grounds year after year.
What's on the menu?
At times, Major Mitchell cockatoos will feed on various insects, however, their diet primarily consists of over 30 species of plants including wattles, hakeas, grevilleas, and pines throughout their shrub and woodland habitat.

Survey strategies to quantify and optimize detecting probability of a CO2 seep in a varying marine environment
Peer reviewed, Journal article
MetadataVis full innførsel
Designing a marine monitoring program that detects CO2 leaks from subsea geological storage projects is challenging. The high variability of the environment may camouflage the anticipated anisotropic signal from a leak and there are a number of leak scenarios. Marine operations are also costly constraining the availability of measurements. A method based on heterogeneous leak scenarios and anisotropic predictions of chemical footprint under varying current conditions is presented. Through a cost function optimal placement of sensors can be given both for fixed installations and series of measurements during surveys. Ten fixed installations with an optimal layout is better than twenty placed successively at the locations with highest leakage probability. Hence, optimal localizations of installations offers cost reduction without compromising precision of a monitoring program, e.g. quantifying and reduce probabilities of false alarm under control. An optimal cruise plan for surveys, minimizing transit time and operational costs, can be achieved.

The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne (novel)
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne is a 1905 British novel written by William John Locke. A young woman is kept in a Turkish harem with an arranged marriage to a man she does not love. Instead she escapes with a British adventurer and goes to live in London. Along with his next book, The Beloved Vagabond, it was a major success.
In 1907 the novel was adapted by Locke into a play. In 1915 the first silent version was made with Marie Doro who starred in the 1907 play. In 1921 a silent film adaptation was made. In 1935 Miles Mander directed The Morals of Marcus, with Ian Hunter in the title role.

How to recreate Outlook profiles after the migration
After performing a migration that includes transferring the domain name to the target server, Outlook cannot connect to the new server. The following error message is shown:
Outlook cannot log on. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. The Microsoft Exchange information service in your profile is missing required information. Modify your profile to ensure that you are using the correct Microsoft Exchange information service.
This happens because the pre-migration settings of the Autodiscover service, which connects Outlook with Exchange, are still cached in the registry for the currently used Outlook profile. To resolve this, you need to create a new Outlook profile and set it as the default one. This can be done manually for each separate user or automatically for all users in your domain by using Group Policy or Microsoft Intune. Follow the links below to learn how to:
- Create a new Outlook profile for a single user
- Create a new Outlook profile for all users in the domain
- Create a new Outlook profile for all users or group(s) of users with Intune
- Close Outlook.
- Go to the Windows Control Panel and click Mail (or, if you're using the Category view, first click User Accounts, and then click Mail).
- In the window that opens, click Show Profiles (Fig. 1.).
- Click Add, and provide the name for the new Outlook profile (Fig. 2.). Click OK to proceed.
- Complete the wizard to add your email account and click Finish.
- Make sure the Always use this profile option is selected and choose your newly created profile from the drop-down menu (Fig. 3.).
- Click OK to save changes.
Outlook should now open without any errors and connect to the correct Exchange server.
A new Outlook profile can be created and set as a default one by using a simple script that adds new values to Windows registry. To bulk create new Outlook profiles for all your users, you can run this script on multiple computers via Group Policy.
In this scenario, the script will be executed as a user logon script. However, a Group Policy object (GPO) can also be configured to run user logoff or computer startup and shutdown scripts.
Follow the links below to:
- create a file containing a script that will create a new Outlook profile
- create a new GPO that will execute that script.
- Open Notepad (or any text editor) and paste the following text (depending on which Outlook version you use):
- Outlook 2010
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\<name>" reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles" /v DefaultProfile /t REG_SZ /d "<name>" /F reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options" /v PickLogonProfile /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
- Outlook 2013
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles\<name> reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook" /v DefaultProfile /t REG_SZ /d "<name>" /F
- Outlook 2016 and 2019
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles\<name> reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook" /v DefaultProfile /t REG_SZ /d "<name>" /FWhere instead of <name> provide the name for the new Outlook profile.
- Outlook 2010
- Save the file as a BAT file.
- Copy the file to a network location accessible for all users in the domain (e.g. %logonserver%\netlogon).
Make sure that each user has appropriate permissions to access this location.
- Log in to your Windows Server domain controller (DC).
- Open Server Manager and select Tools > Group Policy Management.
If it's not there, you need to install this feature first. In Server Manager, select Manage > Add Roles and Features and follow the wizard instructions. Just remember to select the Group Policy Management feature in the Features step (Fig. 4.).
- In the Group Policy Management console, find your domain on the left side navigation menu, right-click it and select Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here (Fig. 5.).
- Provide the name of the new GPO and click OK.
- Navigate to the Group Policy Objects container on the menu, find your newly created GPO, right-click it and select Edit. The Group Policy Management Editor will open.
- Go to User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/Logoff) and double-click Logon (Fig. 6.).
- In the Logon Properties window, click Add, and then click Browse and select the BAT file created in the section above (Fig. 7.).
- Click OK two times to save the change.
You can now close the Group Policy Management console. The script will be executed for each user when they log in to their workstations. When they try to open Outlook, the Outlook startup wizard will be shown (Fig. 8.).
The Autodiscover feature should no longer have a problem connecting to the appropriate on-prem Exchange server or Office 365.
