Viewing Employee Job Data Records in HRS
OverviewThis document points out data fields in an employee's HRS Job Data record. This job aid also identifies fields on the employee's Job Data record which may be helpful for accountants, budget analysts, and financial specialists.
Your HRS security role determines whether or not you have access to display all information on an employee's Job Data record.
- HRS Security Role Needed: HR Job Data View Only
Instructions for Setting Job Data Search Criteria
1. From the HRS Main Menu, use navigation path: Workforce Administration > Job Information > Job Data.
2. In the Job Data screen, the Find an Existing Value tab displays searchable fields.
- Empl ID (Employee ID) is a unique 8-digit employee identification number (e.g. 00004099).
Note: This was known as the Person ID in the legacy IADS (Integrated Appointment Data System).
- Empl Record (Employee Record Number) identifies each job. For most employees, the Empl Rcd will be 0.
Note: Employees with multiple, concurrent jobs will have a unique record number for each job, assigned sequentially based on date of hire for each job (e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.) Per UW policy, after a job ends, the employee record number will be reused for future jobs.
- Name consists of the employee's first name (given name) and last name (surname). Example: Jane Doe.
Note: You can do a partial name search
- Last Name is the employee's last name or surname (e.g. Doe).
Note: You can do a partial last name search.
- Middle Name is the employee's middle initial or middle name (e.g. A or Anne), if applicable.
Note: You can do a partial middle name search.
- Include History, when selected, allows you to display the future, current, and historical job data records for the employee. If unselected, you only display the employee's future-dated record or current record.
3. Click the Search button to display results based on your search criteria.
4. Depending upon your search criteria, the following may display:
- No matching values were found.
[Solution: Verify that you entered the information correctly. Also, try narrowing your search criteria]
- If more than one Job Data record exists for the employee, a Search Results section displays; locate the Job Data record you wish to view (e.g. Empl Rcd 0), and click on it.
- If only one Job Data record exists for the employee, the Work Location tab will display the employee's Future or Current Job Data record.
Viewing the Work Location Tab
3. In the top right of the Work Location Details section, a scroll area displays if the employee has more than one job data record.
Note: If you did not select Include History on the Find an Existing Value tab above, you can click the Include History button (at the bottom right area of the screen) to change the scroll area display to view historical job data records. When the Include History button is active, it displays as "grayed out."
- The HR Status (e.g. Active) and Payroll Status (e.g. Active) display for the employee's Future or Current job data record.
Note: Employees who are in Active HR Status and Active Payroll Status need to have payroll funding entered on the Funding Data Entry page in HRS for their Future or Current job data record; refer to Adding or Changing Appointment Level Funding for Employee's Salary Expense in HRSException: Non-paid employees with a Pay Group code of "NON" are not paid through HRS; consequently, these non-paid employees do not need funding entered in HRS. You can find an employee's Pay Group code on the Payroll tab.
Tip: If you wish to see funding information for all employees in Active HR Status, you can run an Employee Funding Summary Report by campus, division or department; refer to Running the Employee Funding Summary Report in HRS.
- The Effective Date (e.g. 08/20/2018) represents the "as of" date of the employee's job Action (e.g. Return from Short Work Break).
- The Effective Sequence field (e.g. 0) indicates 0 for the first entry, 1 for the second entry, 2 for the third entry, etc., for multiple entries with the same job Effective Date. The highest effective Sequence number takes precedence.
- The Action field (e.g. Return from Short Work Break) indicates what personnel action took place on the Effective Date.
- The Reason field (e.g. Start Academic Year) describes the Action.
- The Job Indicator field (located below the Reason field) displays either Primary Job or Secondary Job for the employee's Empl Rcd #.
- Underneath the Action and Reason fields, a thin line separates the top and bottom portion of the Work Location section. Look to the right of the line to see whether the job record you are displaying is the employee's Future, Current or History job record.
- The Expected Job End Date (EJED) field will display the appointment end date for jobs with a Continuity code of 02A, 02B, 02C, 05A, 05B, 05C or N.
Note: The Continuity code is located on the UW Custom tab.
- The Position Number field (e.g. 00003715) is formerly known as the Appointment ID. If the Position Number is blank, this means the employee (e.g. Student Help) was not hired into a Position.
Note: To display detailed Position information, refer to Searching For an Employee's Position Number From Job Info in HRS
- The Business Unit field (e.g. UWMSN) displays the 5-character campus code identifier.
Note: For a list of campus identifiers and institutions, refer to Campus Codes Used in Location / Appointing Department / Academic or Summer Pay Groups in HRS
- The Department field (e.g. A487400) is the employee's appointing department (Organizational Department),
Note: The appointing department in HRS always begins with the alpha code campus identifier; this was formerly known as the Major Dept in our legacy system.
Note: For a summary of campus codes used in the appointing Department field, refer to Campus Codes Used in Location / Appointing Department / Academic or Summer Pay Groups in HRS
- The Date Created field is the date the information was entered into HRS.
4. At the bottom of the Work Location tab (e.g. page), all of the available tab names are listed (Work Location, Job Information, Job Labor, Payroll, Salary Plan, Compensation, UW Custom, UW Benefits).
- When at the bottom of a page, use the tab names to quickly navigate among tabs.
5. If an employee's History record displays a Hire Action, effective date of 02/10/2011, with the Reason of Conversion, this is the date all employees' personnel records were converted to HRS from our legacy payroll system.
- To verify the original start date of the employee, click the Employment Data link, located at the bottom of the Work Location tab
Viewing the Employment Data Page
- The Original Start Date equals the Appointment Effective Date for jobs converted to HRS on 02/10/2011 from the legacy payroll system.
- The Adj Cont Service Date (Adjusted Continuous Service Date) field is the Seniority Date for University Staff employees.
2. To display whether a faculty appointment is tracking tenure data, expand the USA section.
- The Accrue Tenure Services field shows a check mark when HRS tracks tenure data for faculty appointments.
Note: For more information on tenure tracking, refer to Entering Tenure Tracking in HRS
3. To return to the Work Location tab, click the Job Data link at the bottom of the Employment Information page.

Hyundai speed sensor diagnosis
The 2007 and later Elantra uses two individual sensors to detect rotational speed of the transaxle's input and output shafts. The part descriptions as "input" and "output" are based upon their use in previous Hyundai models. However, the sensor applications are reversed for the 2007 and later Elantra. NOTE: The two sensors are not interchangeable.
P/N DESCRIPTION IN CATALOG FUNCTION IN 2007-LATER ELANTRA
42621-39200 Output speed sensor Input speed sensor
42620-39200 Input speed sensor Output speed sensor
When diagnosing DTCs for either of these sensors for 2007 and later Elantras, the part numbers listed here should be referenced. Disregard the part description shown in the parts catalog.
 1. Attach a GDS and select vehicle, "A/T," "Current Data" and "Input speed sensor" and "Output speed sensor." If the sensors show continuous/changing output, the wiring has no open/shorts during the current test condition. Go to Step 2.
 2. Check the wiring harness visually for an open circuit or short circuit to ground.
 3. Disconnect the connectors at the input and output speed sensor and PCM. Check for bent pins or pins not fully inserted into the connector. Check the pin tension using the J-35616-C pin tension tester. If a harness open/short is found, repair or replace the ECM control harness between the PCM and transaxle. If a harness open/short is not found, go to Step 4 or 5.
 4. For the following DTCs, replace P/N 42621-39200:
- P0715 (input speed sensor circuit)
- P0716 (input speed sensor range/performance)
- P0717 (input speed sensor no signal)
 1. For the following DTCs, replace P/N 42620-39200:
- P0720 (output speed sensor circuit)
- P0722 (output speed sensor no signal)
 1. Attach a GDS and clear the codes. Drive the vehicle for two key-on to key-off cycles. If the DTCs do not set again, return the vehicle to the customer. If the DTC(s) set again, substitute a known-good PCM from another 2007-later Elantra and test drive for two key-on to key-off cycles. If the condition is corrected, replace the PCM. If not, go to Step 7.
 2. If Steps 1-6 do not correct the condition, troubleshoot the harness for an open/short circuit. Repair or replace the ECM wiring harness between the PCM and the transaxle as necessary.

text: The present paper aims to identify ways to reduce pollution injected by residents in the urban wastewater network system. Two approaches are considered. The first one uses flow and pollutant calculation to test whether a polluter can easily be identified in a neighborhood. The second approach uses a survey to examine what incentive would be most effective to influence residents' behavior. Hydrodynamic simulation results show that concentration profiles at the network outlet corresponding to all possible polluters are similar and thus do not point out specific resident source of pollution. Household-level survey results show that most socio-economic and public-good-related characteristics do not play a significant role in explaining choices to discard in the home wastewater network. Apart from the nature of the waste itself, by far the belief that the respondent has about neighbors' and relatives' discarding behavior is the main driver of the choice.

text: The performance of object recognition and classification on remote sensing imagery is highly dependent on the quality of extracted features, amount of labelled data and the priors defined for contextual models. In this study, we examine the representation learning opportunities for remote sensing. First we attacked localization of contextual cues for complex object detection using disentangling factors learnt from a small amount of labelled data. The complex object, which consists of several sub-parts is further represented under the Conditional Markov Random Fields framework. As a second task, end-to-end target detection using convolutional sparse auto-encoders (CSA) using large amount of unlabelled data is analysed. Proposed methodologies are tested on complex airfield detection problem using Conditional Random Fields and recognition of dispersal areas, park areas, taxiroutes, airplanes using CSA. The method is also tested on the detection of the dry docks in harbours. Performance of the proposed method is compared with standard feature engineering methods and found competitive with currently used rule-based and supervised methods.

Transmission spectrum of perfect sheets of graphene and MoS2
In this tutorial, you will learn how to calculate the transmission spectrum of graphene and MoS2. The focus of this tutorials is on what parameters to choose, what to calculate, and what to think about, rather than all the details of "how".
Introduction
In ATK it is possible to compute the transmission spectrum of a perfect periodic system in a simple way, which doesn't require the more detailed setup of a device configuration, with electrodes, electrode extensions, and scattering region, which normally is necessary when the system is not perfect. In this example you will look at how to compute the transmission spectrum of a perfect, periodic 2D sheet. The first example will be graphene - since it is well-known and popular - and then let's consider MoS2 which has a more complicated unit cell.
For a perfectly periodic structure the transmission spectrum is in principle just a sum over the available modes in the band structure at each energy. In a 1D system this is manageable by hand, but already for a 2D system one has to consider how to sample the Brillouin zone properly, both for the electronic structure and the transmission spectrum itself.
The focus of this tutorials is on "what" - what parameters to choose, what to calculate, what to think about, rather than all the details of "how". It will thus be assumed that you have some rudimentary experience using ATK and VNL, as obtained from going through some of the basic tutorials.
Unit cell for transmission
One basic thing to note is that ATK uses a similar methodology to compute the transmission spectrum as the complex band structure. Therefore the same rule applies: the unit cell must be "electrode-like", meaning that the A and B vectors must both be perpendicular to the C vector, which should be parallel to Z, and which defines the direction in which we compute the transmission (not all materials are isotropic!).
It is however not necessary to repeat the cell in the C-direction; you can always leave it as the smallest possible cell. ATK will, however, internally repeat enough to include all relevant interactions.
Graphene
Geometry
Now let us apply this to graphene, and your first task is thus to convert the hexagonal unit cell to some thing orthorhombic. This is easily achieved in the Builder:
 1. Click Add>Add From Database..., locate graphene and add the structure to the stash.
 2. Open Bulk Tools>Supercell and enter the values as shown in the picture below. Then press Transform.
../../_images/supercell.png
 1. You now have an orthogonal cell, but the Z direction is pointing out of the graphene plane; it should lie in the plane. Therefore, open Bulk Tools>Swap Axes and interchance the A and C axes. This brings C into the plane, however the cell is now left-handed, and moreover C is not pointing along Z but along X. This is remedied by a second switch, of Z and X. You now have a proper cell for the transmission spectrum calculation, with a Z/C-axis pointing along the zigzag direction (however, in graphene, the transmission is isotropic, so you would get the same result along the armchair direction).
../../_images/ortho.png
 1. Send the structure to the Script Generator.
Calculator
In this example you will use a simple tight-binding model to make the calculations fast, more specifically a 3rd nearest neighbor single pi-band model. For "simple" graphene this provides an excellent band structure, which is all we really need for the transmission spectrum.
Graphene is however slightly tricky because it's hard to know how many k-points you need to get converged results; the peculiar band structure around the K point makes it important to include this point - or several points around it - to get accurate values. The general rule is that you need an odd integer multiple of 3 (although some care needs to be taken with supercells). With the simple nearest-neighbor tight-binding model, the band structure is however essentially encoded into the method, and you actually don't need more than 3 k-points in the B and C directions. (For DFT, you will need at least 9 points, and preferably more.)
To set these parameters:
 1. In the Script Generator, double-click New Calculator to insert a calculator block.
 2. Open it, and select "ATK-SE: Slater-Koster".
 3. Set the k-point sampling to 3 points in B and 3 points in C.
 4. Go to the "Slater-Koster basis set" section and choose the Hanock.C basis set in the "Predefined" list.
../../_images/hancock.png
Close the New Calculator.
To verify that you do obtain a good band structure, insert a Analysis>Bandstructure block; double-click it and set the number of points to 90 (so that you hit the K point, which in this geometry lies on the G-Z path). Also add X, G to the path, so that the essential parts of the 2D zone are covered.
../../_images/bandstructure5.png
For the transmission spectrum, you need to sample the Brillouin zone very densely to get an accurate curve. To illustrate this, you will compute the transmission for a few different value of the k-point sampling, and compare.
Insert a Analysis>TransmissionSpectrum block 4 times. Double-click each one, and set a different number of k-points in the B direction (note that there is no need to set them in A, and no option to set them in C) in each one, as follows: 3, 27, 99, 601.
../../_images/transmission_spectrum1.png
Finally:
 1. Set the name of the output file.
 2. Save the script.
 3. Send the calculation to the Job Manager.
The electronic structure part will literally take seconds, and the transmission spectra are also very fast to compute; the whole script should finish in well under a minute.
You can now open the four different transmission spectra and inspect the differences. Clearly, using 3 and 27 k-points does not give any useful results, but even at 99 k-points the curve is still very jagged compared to the "converged" result at 601 points.
../../_images/graphene_transmission.png
Checking the band structure, you see a perfect shape of the bands close to the Fermi level, as expected from the purpose of the parameterization used. The K point is clearly visible, although it appears without a label inbetween Γ and Z since in this case, as mentioned above, we now have a supercell and so the Brillouin zone is folded.
../../_images/graphene_bandstructure.png
It is left as an exercise to perform the band structure calculation using the same basis set, for the simple hexagonal graphene unit cell. The result is shown below. Don't forget that if you just take graphene from the database, the axes are oriented such that the k-point sampling needs to be applied in the A/B plane.
../../_images/graphene_bandstructure_hex.png
MoS2
The second example will be on a material that is similar to graphene, but also very different. MoS2 or molybdenite is a crystal which also has a hexagonal unit cell, reminiscent of graphite, although the basis is more complex, with Mo and two S atoms. It has been found molybdenite can also form monoatomic layers, but unlike graphene it has a finite band gap.
Many details of the calculation for MoS2 will be left as an exercise - the steps are very similar, even if there are some notable differences in terms of parameter choices that are worthwhile commenting on.
Geometry
 1. Locate molybdenite in the crystal database and add it to the stash.
 2. Remove one layer, leaving only 3 atoms in the unit cell.
 3. Then perform the same transformation to the orthorhombic structure as for graphene above.
 4. As an additional step, open Coordinate Tools>Center and center the atoms in all directions.
The resulting geometry should look like the picture below.
../../_images/mos2.png
Calculator
ATK contains a Slater-Koster model (DFTB) for Mo-S already, contained in the (admittedly experimental) CP2K set. It's a non-selfconsistent model, but as we will see it compares fairly well to DFT, at least for the conduction band and in general in the areas around the band edges.
 1. Send the structure to the Script Generator.
 2. Insert a New Calculator block and open it.
 3. Select the ATK-SE: Slater-Koster calculator, and set the k-point sampling to 1x3x3, as for graphene. (Testing shows that there is a negligible difference in the band structure compared to 1x27x27 k-points also in this case.)
 4. Under "Slater-Koster basis set", you will notice that there

Graph-based Semi-Supervised Learning in Acoustic Modeling for Automatic Speech Recognition
MetadataShow full item record
Acoustic models require a large amount of training data. However, lots of labor is required to annotate the training data for automatic speech recognition. More importantly, the performance of the acoustic model could degenerate during test time, where the conditions of test data differ from the training data in speaker characteristics, channel and recording environment. To compensate for the deviation between training and test conditions, we investigate a graph-based semi-supervised learning approach to acoustic modeling in automatic speech recognition. Graph-based semi-supervised learning (SSL) is a widely used semi-supervised learning method in which the labeled data and unlabeled data are jointly represented as a weighted graph, and the information is propagated from the labeled data to the unlabeled data. The key assumption that graph-based SSL makes is that data samples lie on a low dimensional manifold, where samples that are close to each other are expected to have the same class label. More importantly, by exploiting the relationship between training and test samples, graph-based SSL implicitly adapts to the test data. In this thesis, we address several key challenges in applying graph-based SSL to acoustic modeling. We first investigate and compare several state-of-the-art graph-based SSL algorithms on a benchmark dataset. In addition, we propose novel graph construction methods that allow graph-based SSL to handle variable-length input features. We next investigate the efficacy of graph-based SSL in context of a fully-fledged DNN-based ASR system. We compare two different integration frameworks for graph-based learning. First, we propose a lattice-based late integration framework that combines graph-based SSL with the DNN-based acoustic modeling and evaluate the framework on continuous word recognition tasks. Second, we propose an early integration framework using neural graph embeddings and compare two different neural graph embedding features that capture the information of the manifold at different levels. The embedding features are used as input to a DNN system and are shown to outperform the conventional acoustic feature inputs on several medium-to-large vocabulary conversational speech recognition tasks.

During quarantine we all learned that indoor training has its own peculiarities. It is not the "typical" training when there's less than ideal weather, but it is the kind that carries with it certain levels of difficulty, requiring a closer look on techniques, duration and specific chamois pads.
So what are the considerations that should be made to make the most of indoor training?
We asked the professors of, Dr. Antonio Paoli and Dr. Giuseppe Marcolin (Department of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Padua), Dr. Andrea Fusaz (athletic trainer CCC Team and technical collaborator of the Cycling Team Friuli, as well as biomechanical owner of the CTF Lab) and Denis Bertoldo (R&D Manager of Elastic Interface®).
The experts will accompany us in various installments of this mini-guide on keeping fit and staying in shape… as we all prepare to go back to cycling outdoors.
In indoor training, sweating increases exponentially. Why is this so?
Dr. Giuseppe Marcolin: Sweating is a mechanism adopted by the body to lower body temperature. Sweating too much indoors is due to the lack of ventilation, which helps to lower the body temperature (convection). While riding, the cyclist performs intense efforts while reaching high speeds (descents) which, due to the effect of the air, reduce body temperature. In the simulated descents of indoor training, one is obliged to keep pedaling while there is no air action, explaining why the cyclist sweats so profusely.
Sudorazione sui rulli
Does cycling indoors fill the environment with CO2, and leave little oxygen?
GM: The time spent on indoor trainer does not significantly alter the concentration of CO2 so much so that it can cause health risks. For better comfort, however, it is preferable to keep a window open or slightly open depending on the outside temperature. This ensures good air ventilation in the room.
Can using a fan prevent heat stroke?
GM: The use of the fan is subjective and can help disperse the heat during exercise on the indoor trainer. If used, it is advisable to operate the fan at low speeds.
What is the recommended duration for an indoor workout?
GM: While there is no ideal duration, an average duration ranges from 45 to 90 minutes depending on the kind of training. Rather than an excessively long session, the training can be broken up into a morning session and an afternoon session. It is also important to define the number of training sessions per week. For an average cyclist, 60 minutes of training every other day is definitely a solid training program. It is advisable to partake in high quality workouts to get the maximum benefit.
In what sense can the body be subjected to "too much" stress in indoor training?
GM: The static sitting position causes greater concentration of pressure on the perineal area compared to pedaling on the road. Not only does indoor training require the cyclist to remain seated most of the time, the lack of bicycle oscillations also make their position more static. Consequently, the pressure on the perineum remains practically confined to the same area for most of the training. To solve this, get up on the pedals at a certain frequency to lift the burden off the perineal area.
It is also useful to change the position of the hands often, even if cycling makes the rider grip the handlebar area near the stem. Doing this helps to significantly change the area of the perineal area in which pressure is concentrated.
In summary:
 - beware of heat exhaustion that can occur due to poor ventilation;
 - maintain a good air exchange in the room;
 - workouts should have an average duration between 45 and 90 minutes;
 - getting up on the pedals at a certain frequency;
 - change the position of the hands often

Abstract
Over the last few years, wildfires have become more devastating to communities as the fires are inevitably destructive to many homes, businesses, and ecosystems. Frequent wildfires also pose a significant threat to power grids and nearby residents as they can damage transmission lines and other electrical equipment, which in turn can cause major power shutdowns. Especially in western U.S., severe drought conditions and weather variability cause residents to become more vulnerable to wildfire disasters as their safety is threatened. We are incompetent to control the wildfires effectively despite existing advanced technologies. Hence, an algorithm based on energy conservation and heat transfer mechanisms is created to examine the feasibility of line sag sensors to detect wildfires in an early stage. To test the algorithm, it is integrated with a 150-bus synthetic power network using MATLAB. The resulted conductor temperature from randomly selected parameters like fire locations, weather conditions, and fire rate of spread causes the change in line sag over 10 minutes. The line sag behavior is then analyzed under different scenarios. By monitoring real-time power line sag measurements, the analysis shows that early onset wildfires can be detected in less than 3 minutes and up to about 1 km from the power line to the fire. It is also suggested the utilization of silica fabrics on the sensors can provide thermal and fire protection while having no impact to the power line magnetic fields.

Quality and Safety at San Leandro Hospital
No Matter How You Define Quality – It's Built on a Foundation of Patient Safety
Patients and families know quality care when they experience it. A nurse's quick, timely, and caring response, a doctor's bedside manner, the hospital's cleanliness and comfort, a safe and clean environment – all these things affect how people feel about the quality of their health care.
At San Leandro Hospital, we believe that the highest quality and the best clinical outcomes cannot be achieved without establishing the safest possible environment for our patients. Patient safety is the foundation for how we provide care.
We believe that quality health care is:
- Safe: Avoiding and ultimately eliminating errors and/or injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help them.
- Effective: Providing care and services based on scientific knowledge and best practices.
- Patient and Family Centered: Providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient and family preferences, needs and values, ensuring that patients' values guide all clinical decisions.
- Timely: Reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those who receive and provide care.
- Efficient: Maximizing value and avoiding waste, including waste of equipment, supplies, ideas and energy.
- Equitable: Providing care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, orientation, ethnicity, geographic location, and socioeconomic status.
We are passionate about our commitment to continuously improving all of these important aspects of quality health care.
How Quality is Measured
Quality data comes in many forms. Information can be pulled from clinical records, billing information or administrative codes that are used to classify diagnoses and conditions. The data is run through complex math models to try to make it meaningful.
Because quality data is pulled from multiple sources, documentation plays a crucial role in measurement. When treating a patient, a practitioner needs to accurately and consistently report the specific diagnosis and document the treatment the patient receives.
If the practitioner makes an error in the documentation process, it can have a negative effect on the hospital's performance rating – even if the patient's clinical outcome is optimal.
San Leandro Hospital has implemented an electronic documentation system and trained our health care practitioners to ensure that documentation is accurate and specific. Accurate documentation helps to limit reporting errors, so our clinical and administrative staff can better identify true clinical improvement opportunities.

A Closer Look at Thermal Radical Cure Adhesives for the Electronics Industry
Thermal radical cure (TRC) adhesives are 100% solid formulations based on UV curable resins. This type of adhesive is commonly as hot melt and semi-structural adhesives. These adhesives were created to harness some of the best features of traditional silicone adhesives while eliminating or reducing many of the drawbacks.
This blog post will discuss why thermal radical curing technology is beneficial, discuss the properties of these adhesives, and offer examples of common applications.
WHY USE TRC TECHNOLOGY?
There are many benefits offered by thermal radial curing technology. Some of the primary benefits include:
- Enhanced adhesive performance. The adhesion strength of TRC adhesives is retained across a broad temperature range and throughout a variety of adverse conditions, such as water immersion, salt water exposure, and other corrosive environments.
- Design flexibility. TRC adhesives provide adhesion to a wide range of surfaces. They adhere to plastics, metals, cured silicones, wet substrates, and more. These adhesives will bond with most traditional and alternative materials, enabling improved performance and many new design opportunities.
- Cost control. TRC adhesives facilitate cost savings in the form of reduced energy expenditures and streamlined production processes. They cure much faster than standard silicone adhesives by reducing the heat-up time and cutting the cure down to as little as three minutes.
HOW EXACTLY DO TRC ADHESIVES WORK?
TRC adhesives provide reliable adhesion with a comprehensive array of metals, ceramics, and plastics—even those that haven't experienced good adhesion with more traditional silicone-based adhesives. Once the adhesive is fully cured, the substrate materials benefit from strong but flexible bonds. With thermal curing processes, these adhesives significantly reduce curing time without sacrificing adhesion strength.
Cationically curable resins and free-radical curable unsaturated esters are the two most common resins used for creating UV-curable adhesives. Cation resins are typically more expensive, but offer better overall performance, higher heat resistance, less shrinkage, and superior strength. Free-radical type adhesives feature reduced properties in comparison, but cure much faster.
There are many use cases for TRC adhesives within the electronics industry. Examples may include:
- Housing assembly
- Attaching connectors to substrates
- Adhering sensors and electronic control units to substrates
- Facilitating power supply and energy conversion
More advanced assembly applications for TRC adhesives may include:
- Engine or transmission control units
- Power control units
- Lighting modules
- Printed circuit boards
TRC ADHESIVES FROM ROBERT MCKEOWN, INC.
TRC adhesives are cost-effective, offer strong and reliable adhesion, and work with a comprehensive range of surface types and materials. The application potential for these adhesives is nearly limitless, especially in sectors such as automotive, electronics, and general manufacturing.

text: Data replication increases data availability in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Preventing data loss and increasing data availability in MANETs is a nontrivial problem due to their low-cost hardware, harsh working environments, node mobility, failure of mobile devices from battery exhaustion and node compromise attacks. In addition, different routing algorithms and larger size of the network can cause communication links to fail creating several disjoint partitions which causes data loss. The typical fault-tolerant systems would fail in these conditions. Existing approaches fail due to the limitations caused by their dependence on lower node mobility or constrained by node distribution, unpredictable partitions and routing mechanisms. In this paper, we propose Combinatorial Replication and Partition (CORP) of data which is a combinatorial arrangement with pair wise balanced design property to prevent data loss and increase data availability. Our scheme provides low access latency and reduces communication overhead. By partitioning and replicating data in such a combinatorial arrangement, our scheme directly supports object-oriented constructs in distributed fault-tolerant networks.

The Kugler Jet Air Induction System is a unique type of ducted heating/cooling system employing the use of Jet Induction Nozzles. Air is treated in a central Air Handling Unit. Within the Air Handling Unit air is drawn across a series of panel and bag filters where air borne contaminants are removed, and then over the heat exchanger or cooling coil where the air is raised or lowered to the required supply temperature. The air is then discharged into the ductwork system via a centrifugal fan set.
Treated air is distributed by the spiral wound ductwork at high level within the conditioned space. The air is discharged into the space via a series of Balanced Jet Nozzles strategically located around the building to discharge air between other services, structures or obstructions. This high degree of coverage ensures a good distribution of air and heat within the area served. The induction effect of the nozzles ensures maximum destratification thereby reducing roof heat losses and minimising energy usage.
Extensive design calculations are carried out to determine the optimum arrangement of the JET distribution system and selection of the induction nozzle terminals. The distribution system is designed to be self-balancing to avoid the need for balancing dampers, reduce the commissioning period on site and most importantly avoid the need for subsequent high-level maintenance within the occupied space.
Low energy consumption
Re-use of all waste heat energy (lighting, process heat, occupancy gains) within the space by means of the inherent destratification effect of the induction nozzles
Controlled fresh air ventilation
Limit internal temperatures throughout the year without the use of mechanical cooling. Depending on the usage of the building the Jet System can reduce the energy costs by up to 70% compared to a traditional cooling systems
Uniform temperature distribution throughout the space, horizontal and vertical, efficient temperature de-stratification
The system can be controlled from a central BMS to provide flexible control to maximise energy efficiency
Minimise total life costs of the system
No high-level maintenance requirement

Abstract Background Glioblastoma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by its infiltrative growth, rendering complete resection impossible. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) shows potential in detecting tumor infiltration by reflecting microstructure disruption. OBJECTIVE To explore the heterogeneity of glioblastoma infiltration using joint histogram analysis of DTI, to investigate the incremental prognostic value of infiltrative patterns over clinical factors, and to identify specific subregions for targeted therapy. Methods A total of 115 primary glioblastoma patients were prospectively recruited for surgery and preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. The joint histograms of decomposed anisotropic and isotropic components of DTI were constructed in both contrast-enhancing and nonenhancing tumor regions. Patient survival was analyzed with joint histogram features and relevant clinical factors. The incremental prognostic values of histogram features were assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The correlation between the proportion of diffusion patterns and tumor progression rate was tested using Pearson correlation. Results We found that joint histogram features were associated with patient survival and improved survival model performance. Specifically, the proportion of nonenhancing tumor subregion with decreased isotropic diffusion and increased anisotropic diffusion was correlated with tumor progression rate (P = .010, r = 0.35), affected progression-free survival (hazard ratio = 1.08, P < .001), and overall survival (hazard ratio = 1.36, P < .001) in multivariate models. Conclusion Joint histogram features of DTI showed incremental prognostic values over clinical factors for glioblastoma patients. The nonenhancing tumor subregion with decreased isotropic diffusion and increased anisotropic diffusion may indicate a more infiltrative habitat and potential treatment target.

It is thought to be the quintessential British meal, but new research claims the original idea for fish and chips came from Jewish and French dishes.
Fish and chips is a traditional seaside meal
A study of the multicultural nature of UK cuisine suggests the meal was influenced by immigrants 150 years ago.
Professor Panikos Panayi of Leicester's De Montfort University has begun a
£6,000 research project to investigate the global influence on British food.
He said fish and chips mixed "French frites with Jewish fish dishes".
Mr Panayi's research is expected to last two to three years and his findings will be published in a book called The Spicing Up of English Life.
He said: "In the middle of the 19th century the main concern of most sections of
English society consisted of eating enough food of sufficient quality to stay
alive, rather than displaying a concern about variety.
"Transformations between 1850 and 1945 included the emergence of fish and
chips, influenced by both French and Jewish culinary traditions.
He said the origins of the dish were complex, but probably came about from the combination of French frites with Jewish fish dishes.
"It certainly isn't the traditional British food people might think, and of
course the meal is often enjoyed with a cup of tea - the best example of the
influence of the Empire on English eating and drinking habits."
Fish and chips restaurant Harry Ramsden's serves
20,000 portions per day across Britain.
A spokeswoman said: "It's very interesting to hear
the professor's findings on the origins of the ingredients that are still, and
we're sure will always be, a great British tradition."
Mr Panayi has urged people who arrived in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s to contact him to help him with his research.
The project will also examine the arrival of ice cream and pork with Italian
and German immigrants and the effect of the first Indian and Chinese

John McCracken: Stainless Steel Sculptures
Opening on November 9, the gallery will present recent sculptures by John McCracken. The artist will be showing for the first time at Zwirner & Wirth after exhibiting at David Zwirner in 1997, and Hauser & Wirth in 1999. John McCracken, who lives and works in Medanales, New Mexico, has been a presence in New York steadily since the mid 1960s. During the last two years he has shown his work in London, Zurich, Paris and Los Angeles. His work is currently included in Open Ends at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
At the same time that Minimalist artists such as Carl Andre, Donald Judd, and Dan Flavin were gaining ground with their new abstract work in New York, McCracken was experimenting in Los Angeles with a similar vernacular. McCracken, who started his career as a painter, soon left the constraints of the picture frame towards a more three-dimensional understanding of painting. In particular, his signature work, the plank, literally defines the space between painting and sculpture, the floor and the wall. With his simple gesture of leaning a monochromatic, rectangular resin plank so it rests on the floor and wall, he created a definitive work following the primary concerns of Minimalism: the desire to leave the two dimensionality of the picture plane for a new art that references and includes both architecture and the viewer.

A medical exam is a process to examine a person's health condition by considering their medical history and physical health. An immigration medical exam is a mandatory part of immigrating to the US and becoming a permanent resident. It is also known as a medical exam for a green card. When you go for the immigration medical exam, you should bring your passport and other information about your health, such as the medications you're taking these days. The primary purpose of carrying out this immigration medical exam is to ensure that the health condition of that applicant doesn't pose a risk to the public health and safety of United States residents.
Any of these health conditions may declare an applicant inadmissible:
- Infectious diseases of public health significance
- Lack of required vaccination (polio, mumps, measles, hepatitis A & B, influenza type B, retrovirus, meningococcal) proofs
- Drug addiction
- Mental or physical disorder
Immigration Physical exam
An immigration medical exam is not a complete test. After passing the immigration medical exam, the doctor will give you a physical examination. The immigration physical exam will include looking at:
- Lymph nodes
- External genitals
- Chest X-ray
- Blood test
Passing a medical exam and physical exam is crucial to show that you are not inadmissible to the US and can be issued with Green Card, Permanent residence, passport, or immigration visa.
Basic steps for the medical exam for a passport
A panel physician conducts all the tests, asks questions, and collects the other information by physical observation. The immigration medical exam for Passport and Citizenship consists of three basic procedures:
- Physical examination
- Evaluation to examine skin health and chest condition
- Blood test for syphilis
You should be prepared for the following information inquiries by the panel physician:
- During the immigration medical exam, the panel of physicians will ask you for your medical history about your previous medications, or if you had to be put in an institution for a chronic physical or mental condition.
- The doctor will also ask you about your addiction to alcohol or your history of psychiatric illness.
- The doctor will conduct your chest X-ray to review your history of tuberculosis.
- The panel will also review your studies and previous employment records to determine your harmful behavior related to physical or mental disorders.
- The doctors will also ask you about some symptoms that will suggest you suffer from cardiovascular, pulmonary, or neuropsychiatric disorders.
Documents preparation for immigration medical exam
It is best to have as many relevant documents as possible to reduce the delay in a green card or Citizenship procedure. When you go for an immigration medical exam, you should bring the following items along with you:
- Original and valid passport
- Readable photocopy of the passport
- Medical reports and medicines of the past or present health status
- Required fee
- Vaccination records
- Tuberculosis certificate
Citizenship in the United States
The lawful permanent residence in the United States consider the following status for immigration medical exam:
- Family relations
- Diversity lottery
- Personal investment
- Employment sponsorship
You're required to take the immigration medical exam and immigration physical exam regardless of the basis on which you seek green card status.
Medical exam for the green card
The purpose of the green card medical exam is to ensure that the applicant seeking a green card has no health condition that makes it risky for the health of the United States people. The preparation of the medical exam depends on whether you're in the United States or outside the united states
If you're in the United States
If you're living in the United States, you'll need to make an appointment with a USCIS-designated civil surgeon for medical and physical examination. These civil doctors receive instructions from the "Center for Disease Control and Prevention" to examine the medical applicants. After the medical exam and physical exam conduction for green card or citizenship purposes, the results and findings are sealed in an I-693 form.
If you are out of the United States
You will take the consular process if you are living outside the United States. In this case, you'll file the application with the US "Department of the State" for an immigration visa at the United States embassy. The United States Department of State will conduct a medical examination for Passport or Citizenship purposes. The results and findings of this exam will be mentioned in the "Medical Examination for Immigrant or Refugee Application Form".
The medical exam for a passport, the medical exam for citizenship, and the medical exam for a green card all have similar basic steps, physical tests, documents, and conditions to declare an applicant inadmissible. The medical exam is crucial to ensure the US government that this applicant's health has no risk to public safety and health. Immigration medical exam also includes a physical medical exam to examine the senses and functioning of the lungs and heart. The medical exam for a passport, the medical exam for a green card, and the medical exam for citizenship require some relevant documents. Three basic steps are followed to complete the process of the medical exam. The medical exam is mandatory whether you're living in the United States or not. The results of the medical exam and physical exam are sealed in the forms for a future procedure.

Edward Hempstead ( born June 3, 1780 in New London, Connecticut; † August 10, 1817 in St. Louis, Missouri ) was an American politician. Between 1812 and 1814 he represented the Missouri Territory as a delegate in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Edward Hempstead enjoyed an academic education. After a subsequent law degree in 1801 and its recent approval as a lawyer, he started in the state of Rhode Iceland to work in this profession. In 1805 he moved to St. Louis, which was then still part of the 1803 acquired by President Thomas Jefferson in the Louisiana Purchase Louisiana Territory. In the following years Hempstead participated in several campaigns against the Indians north of the Missouri. From 1809 to 1812 he was attorney general in the northern part of the Louisiana district. In 1812 he was Member of Parliament and President of the Territorial House of Representatives.
After the foundation of the Missouri Territory was Hempstead in 1812 as a delegate to Congress in Washington DC selected. This mandate he held between 9 December 1812 and 17 September 1814. In this time the British -American War of 1812. Hempstead Edward fell died on August 10, 1817 in St. Louis at the consequences of a riding accident, he had six days earlier suffered.

I've been setting up my Base II with ableton and have a couple questions I was hoping someone could help me figure out concerning scales and root notes. The Base has a function which while holding shift and being on an instrument or drum rack (in Sends or Device mode), allows the change of scales and root notes. By default, the "Major" scale is the automatic selection scale, which automatically detects if your track contains an instrument or a drum rack and actively changes the controller layout view, but when you change to other scales directly from the Base this function is lost, and using a drum rack and an instrument simultaneously becomes very difficult. The normal drum rack layout switches to an instrument layout, where only a few lined up notes are playable and the rest are blank; why isn't the automatic detection included in all scales so that drum racks always have the same layout?

"Gravity" is Aethereal Vibration amplifying downdwards, thus all matter strives downwards.
The hexagonal pillars of the aether adjoin the Pillars of the Earth below. The Pillars below are vibrating at a high frequency which is distributed throughout the Universe via the aethereal body. Thus every square inch of the Universe is suffused with aethereal vibration, or aether-force.
Now the question: Why is matter attracted downwards?
Answer: All matter strives downwards because aethereal vibration, or aether-force, amplifies towards the pillars of the Universe below thus pulling matter down. Matter is always attracted by aethereal vibration, and since aethereal vibration intensifies downwards, matter strives downwards too. (see picture at the top)

The remains of an American pilot, posted missing in action 72 years ago, have been found thanks to an aerial photograph from NCAP.
Lt Frank Fazekas was lost on 27 May 1944, when his P-47 Thunderbolt fighter was shot down in northern France. The crash site, in farmland near Buysscheure, Nord Pas de Calais, was later levelled and forgotten. Lt Fazekas' body was never recovered.
In May 2016, researchers at the US Department of Defence POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) noticed an aerial photograph of the area on the NCAP website. Taken by the Royal Air Force two days after the crash, the photograph shows an impact crater and ground scarring near Buysscheure. Using this photograph, a search team from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the DPAA travelled to the site. They successfully located the wreckage of the plane and finally recovered the possible human remains of the pilot.

DescriptionBancroft, named for historian George Bancroft, is just outside the Omaha Indian Reservation and near the Winnebago Indian Reservation. The graves of Susette La Flesche Tibbles and her father Joseph La Flesche, the last recognized chief of the Omaha, are in the Bancroft cemetery.
Known as "Bright Eyes," Susette was an illustrator, lecturer and writer. She and her newspaperman husband, Thomas Henry Tibbles, toured the country speaking out against the mistreatment of Native Americans. They were influential in the passage of acts favoring Native American rights. In 1902 Susette returned to the reservation where she was raised. She died a year later.

Created By: Pipestone County Historical Society
Pipestone Commercial Historic District was orignally recognized by the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The character of the district is derived from the extensive use of Sioux quartzite as a building material. Sioux quartzite is an exceedingly hard stone which varies in color from dark red to light pink depending on the location of the quarry.
Most of the pivotal buildings in the district were built in the 1890s by local tradesmen in the vernacular style with some Italianate and Romanesque architectural details. Contrasting colors of Sioux quartzite were often used to decorate the facades of the buildings.
The visual continuity of the district is also derived from the common height and scale of the buildings. The pivotal Sioux quartzite buildings are generally two to three stories in height. Complementary buildings built around the 1930s generally are of the same height and scale.

The Colonial Art Museum of Sancti Spiritus, in central Cuba, is one of the city's most prominent landmarks. This house, located near the Iglesia Mayor, was built in the XVIII century and owned by the wealthy Valle Iznaga family. It was the first two-story building to exist in the village.
The museum was founded on October 10th, 1967 thus being considered the first facility of its kind created by the Cuban Revolution. More than 70% of the museum's valuable collection belonged to the owners of the house.
Although it has been known as the Palace of the Hundred Doors, it actually has a larger number after having undergone several modifications in this regard, mainly due to ventilation needs.


text: Erosion wear experiments on Nickel-Chromium cast iron were tested by MCF-30 erosion test machine. The structure and surface morphology of these samples were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and XRD. The influences of the impact angle and acidity on erosion wear property were analyzed. The discipline of the erosion wear property was discussed as well. The experimental results indicate that after oil quench at 960°C and temper at 250°C, the alloy carbide (Fe, Cr)3C which works as the wear resistance skeleton distributes uniformly in the matrix ; the shape of erosion wear curve is "M". and the biggest wear loss is when the impact angle is 60°; the erosion wear property is affected greatly by the strong acid, but is little even can be ignored when pH≥3. The erosion wear mechanism of Nickel-Chromium cast iron is selective wear.

It's a pilot program that transports the past to the present at Wyuka Cemetery in Lincoln.
"The possibilities are endless," said Bill Lopez who teaches a masters level education course at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.
"There are more than 55 thousand souls buried here in Wyuka and every one has a story to tell," said Lopez.
His students are not placing flowers at grave sites, they are placing QR (quick response) codes.
"Why not have Q-R codes where people can take their own tour of the cemetery just by scanning their Smart Phones to the Q-R codes," said Lopez.
The technology sounds complicated, but the process is easy, scan a Smartphone to the QR code and read the information.
"The students have been uploading all of the information and so a visitor scans it and it takes them to the student's websites with all the information on the person or the family," said Lopez.
"And we found our information using ancestry.com and by also using the Nebraska Archives. So it was pretty interesting," said Katie Mohr who is a student of the course.
Students will use the technology in future classrooms.
"We are using a lot of I-pads and other technology and this is another great way to incorporate technology and history for the students," said Teresa Ulrich, who is a student of the course.
"We are learning ways to apply it in the classroom for when we become teachers which is really exciting," said Carly Weber who is a student of the course.
"I envision students all over the country adopting cemeteries like we adopt highways. Each student tries to find out more about the history of the people in there," said Lopez.
So present day technology, makes it possible for the future to reveal the past more accessibly.

Javascript Question
Is there a difference between \d and \d+?
_URL_
I was doing a lesson in FCC, and they mentioned that the digit selector \d finds one digit and adding a + (\d+) in front of the selector allows it to search for more than one digit.
I experimented with it a bit, and noticed that its the g right after the expression that searches for every number, not the +. I tried using \d+ without the g after the expression, and it only matched the first number in the string.
Basically, whether I use \d or \d+, as long as I have the g after the expression, It will find all of the numbers. So my question is, what is the difference between the two?
// Setup
var testString = "There are 3 cats but 4 dogs.";
var expression = /\d+/g;
var digitCount = testString.match(expression).length;
Answer
The g at the end means global, ie. that you want to search for all occurrences. Without it, you'll just get the first match.
\d, as you know, means a single digit. You can add quantifiers to specify whether you want to match all the following, or a certain amount of digits afterwards.
\d means a single digit
\d+ means all sequential digits
So let's say we have a string like this:
123 456
_PHONE_
/\d/g will match [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3]
/\d/ will match 1
/\d+/ will match 123
/\d+/g will match [123,456,_PHONE_]
You could also use /\d{1,3}/g to say you want to match all occurrences where there are from 1 to 3 digits in a sequence.
Another common quantifier is the star symbol, which means 0 or more. For example /1\d*/g would match all sequences of digits that start with 1, and have 0 or more digits after it.


A Parameterised Quantum Circuit Approach to Point Set Matching
02/12/2021 ∙ by Mohammadreza Noormandipour, et al. ∙ 0
Point set registration is one of the challenging tasks in areas such as pattern recognition, computer vision and image processing. Efficient performance of this task has been a hot topic of research due to its widespread applications. We propose a parameterised quantum circuit learning approach to point set matching problem. The proposed method benefits from a kernel-based quantum generative model that: 1) is able to find all possible optimal matching solution angles, 2) is potentially able to show quantum learning supremacy, and 3) benefits from kernel-embedding techniques and integral probability metrics for the definition of a powerful loss function. Moreover, the theoretical framework has been backed up by satisfactory preliminary and proof of concept experimental results.
