Active and reactive power control using smart inverters (SI) is highly effective in mitigating voltage rise in distribution systems, which is caused by the high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) power generation. However, the voltage control performance depends on the SI settings. We propose a new approach that uniquely determines the parameter settings for volt-VAR-watt control based on the active and reactive power-voltage sensitivity matrix of SIs. Because the voltage sensitivity matrix is calculated based solely on the impedance of the distribution system and it does not vary with time or the number of SIs, the proposed method can determine the individual SI parameter settings theoretically and efficiently without the need for optimization problem formulation, power flow calculation, or communication between the SIs. To evaluate the proposed method, the voltage control performance in a real distribution system model with a large number of PV installations is compared with that of volt-VAR-watt control using default parameters and optimized parameters in case that the load demand and PV generation are given in advance. The results show that the proposed method achieves better control performance than other conventional methods in terms of all the evaluation indices; in particular, it realizes effective control in the case of voltage rise. Furthermore, the proposed method can also achieve the same level of voltage control performance as the optimization results, even though it uses only the voltage sensitivity matrix and SI rating capacities for parameters determination, and the accuracy of the proposed voltage control can be ensured.

In One Thousand and One Nights, what is the effect of the narrator of the tales being a woman, and are these stories told from a female perspective?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The tales Scheherazade tells are spoken through a distant objective narrator who doesn't add comments or illumination (the opposite of a Jane Austen written narrator). Therefore the gender of the oral narrator isn't heard in the narrating voice. This is a complex narrator, though, because the frame story tells that Scheherazade is orally telling the tales, nonetheless we are reading the tales as they are being told. As a result, the narrator of Scheherazade's tales comes to us as a written narrator when in fact Scheherazade's tales are oral ones.
The only time Scheherazade's gender is recognizable in the text is during elements that compose the frame story, when she is with the King and her sister and the reader witnesses her while about to begin a tale or having interrupted a tale. At these times, the narrative element becomes more complex because there is a distant third person narrator who is narrating the frame and telling about Scheherazade, as is seen in "The Tale Of The Bull And The Ass."
Since Scheherazade's narratorial voice during the telling of her tales (regardless of the depth of nesting of tales as in "The Tale Of The Ensorceled Prince") is as distant a voice as the frame narrator's, there is no notable difference between the two and therefore no notable gender effect in the narration of her tales. In addition, the tales are told with the perspective on women that was extant during the era of their origination. Therefore scenes are recounted wherein women are beaten by husbands or kicked aside while unconscious by court officials. Women are also represented as sorceress and as those who engage in vile acts. Thus it must be concluded that they are not told from a female perspective, even though Scheherazade is the interior narrator, bearing in mind that the frame narrator who brings Scheherazade to life is of unidentified gender.

In the wiki it is article only about shear modulus and it is written that it's unit is Pascal. At the same time in all researches about Red Blood Cells shear stresses, authors write "in-plane shear stress" and measure it in N/m. For instance, here - _URL_ I can't understand why - perhaps it is a difference between in-plane shear modulus and shear modulus. Or it is because membrane is a surface in 3D, not the whole body. Any ideas?

When we talk about shear stress and shear modulus we're normally considering the deformation of a 3D body. However the article you cite is not talking about deformation of a 3D body but instead it's treating the surface of the erythrocyte as a 2D object. That means they use a surface stress which is probably better known as surface tension. This is similar to the way you calculate the deformation of soap films.
Surface tension (and therefore surface stress) is a force per unit length so it's units are N/m, and therefore the surface shear stress has the same units of N/m.

why dna absorbs best at 260nm?
What have you found so far in your searching? What do you find when you use that phrase in a Google search?biologyquestions said:why dna absorbs best at 260nm?
DNA absorption at 260 nm is measured because nucleic acids, including DNA, have a strong absorbance peak at this wavelength due to the electronic properties of their nucleobase structures. This peak is primarily due to the absorption by the aromatic rings found in the nucleotide bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine, making it an ideal wavelength for quantifying DNA concentration in a solution.
The absorbance of UV light at 260 nm by DNA is directly proportional to the concentration of DNA in a solution according to Beer-Lambert Law. This law states that the absorbance (A) is equal to the molar absorptivity (ε) times the path length (l) times the concentration (c). Therefore, by measuring the absorbance at 260 nm, the concentration of DNA can be calculated if the path length and molar absorptivity are known.
The A260/A280 ratio is used to assess the purity of DNA samples. Pure DNA typically has an A260/A280 ratio of about 1.8. Ratios lower than this suggest the presence of protein contamination, as proteins absorb strongly at 280 nm. A higher ratio might indicate contamination with RNA or other substances that also absorb at 260 nm. This ratio is a quick and convenient quality control measure for evaluating DNA preparations.
Yes, UV absorption at 260 nm can be used to distinguish between ssDNA and dsDNA because ssDNA absorbs more UV light at 260 nm than dsDNA. This difference is due to the more exposed nucleotide bases in ssDNA compared to dsDNA, where bases are paired and stacked within the double helix. The increased absorbance is typically around 37% higher for ssDNA, allowing quantitative assessments of nucleic acid structure in addition to concentration.
When measuring DNA absorption at 260 nm, it is crucial to ensure that the sample is free from contaminants that could affect the absorbance reading, such as proteins, phenol, or other organic compounds. The cuvette or plate should be clean and free from scratches and fingerprints. It is also important to use an appropriate blank solution that matches the sample buffer composition to calibrate the spectrophotometer correctly. Additionally, care must be taken to avoid DNA degradation by physical or chemical means, which could alter absorbance characteristics.

Continuous flow particulate-based microfluidic processors are in critical demand for emerging applications in chemistry and biology, such as point-of-care molecular diagnostics. Challenges remain, however, for accomplishing biochemical assays in which microparticle immobilization is desired or required during intermediate stages of fluidic reaction processes. Here we present a dual-mode microfluidic reactor that functions autonomously under continuous flow conditions to: (i) execute multi-stage particulate-based fluidic mixing routines, and (ii) array select numbers of microparticles during each reaction stage (e.g., for optical detection). We employ this methodology to detect the inflammatory cytokine, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), via a six-stage aptamer-based sandwich assay.


global
And remove it with:
$ librarian-puppet config KEY --global --delete
You can set a key at the local level with:
$ librarian-puppet config KEY VALUE --local
And remove it with:
$ librarian-puppet config KEY --local --delete
You cannot set or delete environment-level config keys with the CLI.
Configuration set at either the global or local level will affect subsequent invocations of librarian-puppet. Configurations set at the environment level are not saved and will not affect subsequent invocations of librarian-puppet.
You can pass a config at the environment level by taking the original config key and transforming it: replace hyphens (-) with underscores (_) and periods (.) with doubled underscores (__), uppercase, and finally prefix with LIBRARIAN_PUPPET_. For example, to pass a config in the environment for the key part-one.part-two, set the environment variable LIBRARIAN_PUPPET_PART_ONE__PART_TWO.
Configuration affects how various commands operate.
 - The path config sets the directory to install to. If a relative path, it is relative to the directory containing the Puppetfile. The equivalent environment variable is LIBRARIAN_PUPPET_PATH.
 - The tmp config sets the cache directory for librarian. If a relative path, it is relative to the directory containing the Puppetfile. The equivalent environment variable is LIBRARIAN_PUPPET_TMP.
Configuration can be set by passing specific options to other commands.
 - The path config can be set at the local level by passing the --path option to the install command. It can be unset at the local level by passing the --no-path option to the install command. Note that if this is set at the environment or global level then, even if --no-path is given as an option, the environment or global config will be used.
Rsync Option
The default convergence strategy between the cache and the module directory is to execute an rm -r on the module directory and just cp -r from the cache. This causes the module to be removed from the module path every time librarian puppet updates, regardless of whether the content has changed. This can cause some problems in environments with lots of change. The problem arises when the module directory gets removed while Puppet is trying to read files inside it. The puppet master process will lose its CWD and the catalog will fail to compile. To avoid this, you can use rsync to implement a more conservative convergence strategy. This will use rsync with the -avz and --delete flags instead of a rm -r and cp -r. To use this feature, just set the rsync configuration setting to true.
$ librarian-puppet config rsync true --global
Alternatively, using an environment variable:
LIBRARIAN_PUPPET_RSYNC='true'
Note that the directories will still be purged if you run librarian-puppet with the --clean or --destructive flags.
How to Contribute
 - Pull requests please.
 - Bonus points for feature branches.
Reporting Issues
Bug reports to the github issue tracker please. Please include:
 - Relevant Puppetfile and Puppetfile.lock files
 - Version of ruby, librarian-puppet, and puppet
 - What distro
 - Please run the librarian-puppet commands in verbose mode by using the --verbose flag, and include the verbose output in the bug report as well.

text: One of the most fundamental physical constraints on living systems is temperature. Despite its importance, a simple, mechanistic, and general theory that fully predicts the response to temperature across all scales has not yet been derived. Here we develop such a theory based on the fundamental chemical kinetics and statistical physics governing the biochemical reactions that support life. Our mathematical framework includes an explanation for why temperature response curves have a maximum or minimum value and the derivation of a single universal curve onto which data for the temperature dependence of diverse biological quantities covering all levels of organization, collapse. The theory has multiple potential applications including predicting responses to global warming, yields of industrial processes, and epidemic outbreaks. At present, there is no simple, first principles–based, and general model for quantitatively describing the full range of observed biological temperature responses. Here we derive a general theory for temperature dependence in biology based on Eyring–Evans–Polanyi's theory for chemical reaction rates. Assuming only that the conformational entropy of molecules changes with temperature, we derive a theory for the temperature dependence of enzyme reaction rates which takes the form of an exponential function modified by a power law and that describes the characteristic asymmetric curved temperature response. Based on a few additional principles, our model can be used to predict the temperature response above the enzyme level, thus spanning quantum to classical scales. Our theory provides an analytical description for the shape of temperature response curves and demonstrates its generality by showing the convergence of all temperature dependence responses onto universal relationships—a universal data collapse—under appropriate normalization and by identifying a general optimal temperature, around 25 ∘C, characterizing all temperature response curves. The model provides a good fit to empirical data for a wide variety of biological rates, times, and steady-state quantities, from molecular to ecological scales and across multiple taxonomic groups (from viruses to mammals). This theory provides a simple framework to understand and predict the impact of temperature on biological quantities based on the first principles of thermodynamics, bridging quantum to classical scales.

- A Realization of High-Frequency Biquadratic Circuit Using Bipolar Transistors
Search this article
In this paper，we describe a new high-frequency biquadratic circuit with a few bipolar transistors，which is based upon the original biquadratic circuit using integrator and the adder type first delay circuit. The proposed circuit is basically composed of four transistors and two capacitors. It can obtain lowpass and bandpass filters，all of which are taken output with a voltage source. As examples，the BPF and LPF are designed for f0=1[MHz]，Q = 5. Furthermore，the tuning of filter frequency can be achieved by adjusting a single resistor. SPICE simulation results are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The federal Institutional Development Award program renewed grants for three research centers at the Medical University of South Carolina. The research centers focus on cardiovascular health, oral health and lipidomics research.
Published Sept. 13, 2012
A federal program renewed grants for three research centers at the Medical University of South Carolina, the teaching hospital announced Wednesday.
MUSC was awarded $27 million from the Institutional Development Award program, which broadens the geographic distribution of National Institutes of Health funding for biomedical and behavioral research.
The teaching hospital now houses four NIH Centers for Biomedical Research Excellence. The centers perform health-related research and support faculty development and research.
In 2011, MUSC received a fourth grant to establish the Center in Oxidants, Redox Balance and Stress Signaling. Redox balance and stress signaling play a role in a number of diseases, including organ damage and cancer, according to a news release.
"The programmatic initiatives involving the Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence and related infrastructure development grants from the National Institutes of Health have simply been transformative for MUSC and have played important roles in the dramatic growth of research programs at the university over the last 10 years," said Stephen Lanier, an MUSC associate provost for research.

Palm Desert's climate is influenced by its surrounding geography including high mountain ranges and a south-sloping valley floor.
With average annual high temperature is 89 °F (32 °C) and average annual low is 62 °F (17 °C). The mean annual temperature at 75.8 °F (24.3 °C) makes Palm Desert one of the warmest places in the United States.
In summer, temperatures often reach highs 108 °F (42 °C) and sometimes rises above 120 °F (49 °C). Summer night's often go as low as 82 °F (28 °C).
Winters are warm with daytime highs between 73–84 °F (23–29 °C).
Under 5 inches (130 mm) of annual precipitation are average, with over 348 days of sunshine per year.
A typical weekend includes abundant sunshine, clear blue skies, low humidity, warm temperatures, and rarely a hint of rain.
Here you'll find Palm Desert area weather by month & season:


{2} q_n - p_n \right|^2 < \frac{1}{2^{2^n}}
0 < \left| \sqrt{2} (2 p_n q_n) - (p_n^2 + 2 q_n^2) \right| < \frac{1}{2^{2^n}}
0 < \left| \sqrt{2} q_{n + 1} - p_{n + 1} \right| < \frac{1}{2^{2^n}}.
By application of the lemma, \sqrt{2} is irrational.
Constructive proof[edit]
In a constructive approach, one distinguishes between on the one hand not being rational, and on the other hand being irrational (i.e., being quantifiably apart from every rational), the latter being a stronger property. Given positive integers a and b, because the valuation (i.e., highest power of 2 dividing a number) of 2b2 is odd, while the valuation of a2 is even, they must be distinct integers; thus |2 b^2 - a^2| \geq 1. Then[14]
\left|\sqrt2 - \frac{a}{b}\right| = \frac{|2b^2-a^2|}{b^2(\sqrt{2}+a/b)} \ge \frac{1}{b^2(\sqrt2 + a / b)} \ge \frac{1}{3b^2},
the latter inequality being true because we assume \tfrac{a}{b} \le 3- \sqrt{2} (otherwise the quantitative apartness can be trivially established). This gives a lower bound of \frac{1}{3b^2} for the difference |\sqrt2 - a / b|, yielding a direct proof of irrationality not relying on the law of excluded middle; see Errett Bishop (1985, p. 18). This proof constructively exhibits a discrepancy between \sqrt{2} and any rational.
Properties of the square root of two[edit]
Angle size and sector area are the same when the conic radius is square root of two. This diagram illustrates the circular and hyperbolic functions based on sector areas u.
One-half of \sqrt{2}, also 1 divided by the square root of 2, approximately 0.70710 67811 86548, is a common quantity in geometry and trigonometry because the unit vector that makes a 45° angle with the axes in a plane has the coordinates
\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right).
This number satisfies
\tfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{\tfrac{1}{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \cos(45^{\circ}) = \sin(45^{\circ}).
One interesting property of the square root of 2 is as follows:
 \!\ {1 \over {\sqrt{2} - 1}} = \sqrt{2} + 1
since (\sqrt{2}+1)(\sqrt{2}-1)=2-1=1. This is related to the property of silver ratios.
The square root of 2 can also be expressed in terms of the copies of the imaginary unit i using only the square root and arithmetic operations:
\frac{\sqrt{i}+i \sqrt{i}}{i}\text{ and }\frac{\sqrt{-i}-i \sqrt{-i}}{-i}
if the square root symbol is interpreted suitably for the complex numbers i and -i.
The square root of 2 is also the only real number other than 1 whose infinite tetrate (i.e., infinite exponential tower) is equal to its square. In other words: If for c > 1 we define x1 = c and xn+1 = cxn for n > 1, we will call the limit of xn as n → ∞, if this limit exists, by the name f(c). Then sqrt(2) is the only number c > 1 for which f(c) = c2. Or symbolically:
\sqrt{2}^ {(\sqrt{2}^ {(\sqrt{2}^ {(\ \cdot^ {\cdot^ \cdot)))}}}} = 2.
The square root of 2 appears in Viète's formula for π:
2^m\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\cdots+\sqrt{2}}}} \to \pi\text{ as }m \to \infty\,
for m square roots and only one minus sign.[15]
Similar in appearance but with a finite number of terms, the square root of 2 appears in various trigonometric constants:[16]
\sin(5\tfrac58 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}};
\sin(11\tfrac14 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}};
\sin(16\tfrac78 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}};
\sin(22\tfrac12 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}};
\sin(28\tfrac18 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}};
\sin(33\tfrac34 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}};
\sin(39\tfrac38 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}};
\sin(45 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2};
\sin(50\tfrac58 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}};
\sin(56\tfrac14 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}};
\sin(61\tfrac78 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}};
\sin(67\tfrac12 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}};
\sin(73\tfrac18 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}};
\sin(78\tfrac34 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}};
\sin(84\tfrac38 ^\circ) = \frac12\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}}.
It is not known whether 2 is a normal number, a stronger property than irrationality, but statistical analyses of its binary expansion are consistent with the hypothesis that it is normal to base two.[17]
Series and product representations[edit]
The identity \cos(\pi/4) = \sin(\pi/4) = 1/\sqrt{2}, along with the infinite product representations for the sine and cosine, leads to products such as
\frac{1}{\sqrt 2} = \prod_{k=0}^\infty
\left(1-\frac{1}{(4k+2)^2}\right) =
\left(1-\frac{1}{4}\right)
\left(1-\frac{1}{36}\right)
\left(1-\frac{1}{100}\right) \cdots
and
\sqrt{2} =
\prod_{k=0}^\inft

I had the opportunity to compare the same build of Debian Linux running on two different NB10s. Both were otherwise identical (same RAM, disk, installation). The quad-core (N3510) unit arrived with BIOS 1.00, so it was possible to gather statistics on this unit with both the original BIOS, and the latest version at time of testing (1.20).
The full table of results is available in a Google Docs spreadsheet.
Summary of results:
- The quad-core unit uses no extra power at idle.
- BIOS version 1.20 uses approximately 200mW less power than BIOS version 1.00 in all states.
- With two CPU cores fully utilised and two idle, the dual- and quad- core units' power consumption is almost identical.
- With a greater CPU load, the quad-core unit can use more power than the dual-core.
This in itself does not mean that, for a given use case, that the quad-core unit will have a shorter battery life. More CPU power can allow a given operation to complete, and the system (CPUs and disks) to return to idle state, more quickly.
- The difference between minimum and maximum screen brightness is 1.4W.
- These results are with all powertop suggestions enabled. These in total save about a watt – highly significant on a 5W computer.

Anghelu Ruju is a funerary prehistoric archeological area with tombs and features carved into the soft limestone. The tombs date to the Neolithic Age, about 3000 BC. These burials are called Domus de janas, or "fairy houses" for their diminutive size, however they weren't designed as houses at all, although there are some signs of reuse as habitation after some had been looted in ancient times.
The necropolis was discovered accidentally in 1903 during test excavations preceding the construction of a building on the property owned by Sella&Mosca, a large, popular winery in Sardinia. The following year excavations continued in earnest and eventually unearthed 38 tombs and many grave goods.
As is found in other Sardinian burial sites, archaeologists noted the numerous carvings of long-horned bulls' heads in and around at least three of the tombs–supporting, some say, the "Mother Goddess" theory.
You'll need to book a visit in advance for the museum, which is divided into two parts, according to the winery:
The Sella&Mosca estate is also home to an interesting museum, divided into two sections. The first is dedicated to the company's history and offers an intriguing historical look at the winery's pioneering activities at the turn of the twentieth century, illustrated in photographs and with vintage winemaking equipment. The second provides an archaeological insight into the Anghelu Ruju prehistoric necropolis, and its people and culture, discovered in 1903 on the Sella&Mosca estate.


Point Cloud Structure and Output Formats
Organized point cloud
Zivid outputs an organized point cloud. This means that the point cloud is laid out as a 2D array of points that resembles an image like structure. An unorganized point cloud is generally stored as a list of points in a 1D array. In both cases, the XYZ data are provided for each point as well as the RGB values.
There are several advantages to this structure.
 - Algorithms designed for unorganized point clouds work on organized as well, because a 2D array can be interpreted as a 1D array. This is not always true the other way around.
 - Ordered point clouds have a 1:1 correlation between pixels in the 2D images (color and depth) and 3D points in the point cloud. This means that the neighboring pixels in the image are the neighboring points in the point cloud. This enables 2D operations and algorithms to be applied to the 2D image, while the result can be applied directly to the point cloud. For example, for object detection and segmentation, one can segment the 2D image and directly extract the 3D points from the desired pixels.
 - The orderliness of points speeds up computation and lowering the cost of certain algorithms, especially operations using neighboring points.
Zivid point cloud
Zivid cameras uses a sensor with 2.3 MP (1920 x 1200 for Zivid One+ and 1944 x 1200 for Zivid Two) to capture point clouds of a scene. Because of the 1:1 correlation between pixels and points, the generated point cloud consists of 2.3 million points. For every pixel, XYZ (mm), RGB (8-bit), and SNR can be provided, where SNR is the Signal-to-Noise Ratio. The data is stored as a matrix of shape [1920, 1200, 7] or [1944, 1200, 7] depending on the camera.
Zivid inside a protective housing
Color and depth image can be directly extracted from a Zivid point cloud. Examples of how to do this are shown in our GitHub repository.
Zivid output formats
From Zivid Studio, you can save the point cloud in Zivid Data File (*.zdf). In addition, you can export the point cloud (File → Export) in the following formats:
 - PLY file - Unordered points (*.ply)
 - PLY file - Ordered points (*.ply)
 - ASCII points (*.xyz)
 - Point Cloud Data File - Unordered (*.pcd)
Zivid studio export options
The Zivid Data File (*.zdf) is the native Zivid file format. If you are using the API, you can loop over the point cloud and save the X, Y, Z, R, G, B, and SNR data in whichever format you prefer. Check out our Samples to see how to read or convert Zivid data using C++, C#, Python, and MATLAB.
The easiest way to view a Zivid point cloud is to copy the ZDF file to your PC and use Zivid Studio. Alternatively, you could use the API to convert ZDF to PLY (or use our Python script) and use a 3D viewer, e.g. MeshLab or CloudCompare.
ASCII points (*.xyz)
ASCII characters are used to store cartesian co-ordinates. XYZ are separated with white space. In our version, RGB values are also added for each point. Each new point is separated with a newline character. This file can be viewed in a regular text editor.
PLY file (*.ply)
PLY is a file format developed at Stanford. Learn more about PLY.
Point Cloud Data file (*.pcd)
PCD is a file format native for Point Cloud Library. Learn more about PCD.

Drone Image Fails to Upload Due to Large File Size
When trying to upload an aerial image taken with a drone, you may encounter the error shown in the following screenshot:
Reduce Image Resolution
Normally, this error message is shown if the size of the file you're trying to upload is too large for our system to use. Many drones take photographs in 4K or even 8K resolution, but if you are able to change this setting, saving the image at 1080p resolution will often reduce the file size enough to allow you to upload the photo, while still retaining more than enough image quality to sketch the roof accurately.
Crop Image to Reduce File Size
Another possible solution to this problem is to open the image file in an image editing software that allows you to crop photos, and crop out any unnecessary areas of the image, such as neighbors' houses or land that doesn't include outbuildings. By cropping the photo, you'll also be reducing the file size.

Are you a Philadelphia-based artist? We want to hear from you on the following questions!
 - What is the future of place-based public art?
 - How can art help our communities heal, inspire, build trust and understanding?
 - How can it empower and lift up the voices of minority communities?
 - How can it tell stories that need to be told?
 - How can art connect us and create critical conversations about the meaning of our neighborhoods, cities, and our country?
PHDC and The Knight Foundation are working together to turn these questions into an opportunity for local artists.
ART IS ESSENTIAL: Philly Artists Connecting Communities is an initiative intended to put artists at the forefront of the conversation about the role of public art in communities. ART IS ESSENTIAL was conceived as an opportunity for artists to respond, react to and reclaim how communities work together to address the problems we face today.
100 selected artists will receive $1000 each for sharing their ideas. The deadline to apply is October 7 by 5 p.m. To support artists considering an application, below are some frequently asked questions:
Do I have to have a project ready to be implemented?
No. To start we just want ideas. Describe your idea in less than 500 words. Include the medium, how community members can interact with the art, and how it will amplify under-represented voices. Also submit a 500-word biography, and that's it.
Who can apply?
Everyone and anyone with an idea can apply, as long as you live in the City of Philadelphia! We are hoping to hear from residents of all experience levels, regardless of formal background or age. We encourage applications from artists who may not consider themselves to be public artists. The opportunity is also open to current students. Groups or collectives are welcome too. Collaborators on one idea should submit one application.
Is there an ideal application or applicant?
We do not have any preconceived notions about what these ideas should be. The ideal applicant is someone who creatively expresses their idea about engagement.
What is needed to apply?

International benchmarking with Progress Test Series
The Progress Test Series (PT Series)® for English, maths and science are standardised against the UK school population. Many international schools have asked for an international school standardisation of these assessments. However, we feel that:
 - A single representative international standardisation is difficult due to the diversity of international schools – for example curriculum, geography, number of students with English as Additional Language (EAL) differ between schools.
 - And, more importantly:•Our UK standardisations, based on a diverse student population, have proven to be relevant and reliable for many international schools.
Standard Age Score
The Standard Age Score (SAS) is based on the student's raw score, which is then adjusted for age and scaled to a mean of 100. When comparing SAS scores, a difference of less than 3 points is not usually seen as statistically significant.
In 2018 we carried out benchmarking exercises to compare the scores achieved by thousands of international students globally against the standardisations for CAT4.
We have now also analysed PT Series scores from all our international school customers to provide useful benchmarking for your schools.
Table 1 shows the mean Standardised Age Scores (SAS) for different levels of the PT Series of assessments for English, maths and science.
The distribution of international scores for the PT Series is higher overall for international schools when compared with the UK standardisation profile. Results show that typically international school students tend to score more highly across English, Maths and, in particular, in Science.
Differences highlighted in green are significantly higher for the international sample compared with the UK. The increased size of the differential might be attributed to several factors such as value added by the teaching in these schools or higher aspirational levels.

How can schools use the data?
Plan resourcing at a cohort level
Does one year group appear to be significantly below average or less able than your other year groups? Can you provide additional teaching support for this cohort?
Take advantage of the combination reports
Quickly identify students who are under performing by using the automatic combination reports for the PT Series and CAT4 together.
Set realistic but challenging targets
PT Series reports provide a useful range of likely outcomes for each student. Some schools use these as a basis for a discussion with students helping them take ownership of their targets.
Your point of reference
The original UK standardisation is a reliable and valid benchmark for international students. Schools may additionally wish to compare their own data to the findings of this benchmarking exercise to see how their own school results compare those internationally.

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by leukocytes and the secretory cells of the HPA axis. Remarkably, glucocorticoids (GC) induce leukocyte MIF secretion, while MIF renders leukocytes insensitive to the anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids. In light of reported associations between dysphoric states, increased inflammatory activity, and reduced GC sensitivity, the current study investigated the association between MIF, loneliness and depressive symptoms. The study further investigated the relation between plasma MIF and markers of HPA function, i.e., diurnal cortisol and the cortisol response to acute stress. Healthy university undergraduates (N= 126; 64 women) were invited to participate if their scores on the Beck Depression Inventory or UCLA loneliness scale were in the upper or lower quintile of their peer group. Plasma MIF and salivary cortisol were measured in response to a public speaking task. Ambulatory diurnal cortisol was assessed for 5 consecutive days. MIF levels were 40% higher in the high-depressive symptoms group compared to the low depressive symptoms group. Elevated MIF was also associated with a smaller cortisol response to acute stress and lower diurnal morning cortisol values. The observed association between HPA function and MIF remained robust after adjustment for depressive symptoms, and demographic, anthropomorphic, and behavioural factors. High levels of depressive symptoms were likewise associated with lower morning cortisol, but this association became non-significant after adjustment for MIF. MIF may be an important neuro-immune mediator linking depressive symptoms with inflammation and HPA dysregulation.

Soapbox Art & Science Oxford is being sponsored by P2i: We catch up with CTO Dr Stephen Coulson about supporting science outreach
Soapbox Art & Science Oxford is generously supported by P2i. Dr Stephen Coulson is the CTO and founder of P2i, the global leader in liquid repellent nanotechnology, delivering hydrophobic nano-coating solutions that provide the highest levels of liquid repellency. Headquartered in England, P2i operate in 19 countries across 5 continents with 148 employees globally. P2i support the Global electronics industry by integrating nano coatings into existing manufacturing lines and have to date processed over 200 million electronic devices in mass produciton. We caught up with Stephen about his involvement with Soapbox Art & Science.
SS: Stephen, what is your background and how did you come to found P2i?
I'm a chemist by training and after completing a PhD at Durham University, I took up a position with my sponsor, Dstl, to complete the application for military use. As it is a very visual technology, with water beading up and rolling off any surface, it was easy to engage Venture Capital interest and we finally spun out P2i at the end of January 2004.
SS: What attracted you to Soapbox Science?
I like the informal and interactive approach that is being taken that makes it highly accessible for all.
SS: Why is it important for researchers and companies to make their work accessible to the public?
There is so much going on in the world where certain areas are often carried out behind closed doors and don't have a loud enough voice. Soapbox Science will help increase awareness of what can be achieved by better understanding the world we live in.
SS: P2i has expanded globally, as has Soapbox Science! If you could bring Soapbox Science to one city or region where you work, where would it be and why?
Although not a specific location, I think initially it needs to take place in regions where they have the infrastructure in place to convert the interest generated by Soapbox Science into increased intake of women into STEM subjects. From this platform there will be an argument for more infrastructure to be created in regions of lower employment with the correct demographic to drive further intake and future employment.
SS: The Oxford event will see art mix together with science, does P2i work in any cross-disciplinary ways and could you describe the value in reaching out to other sectors?
Cross-fertilization of ideas is the main source of innovation so is a necessity that we have followed from day one.
SS: And finally, if you were stood on a Soapbox telling people about your work, what is the one thing you would hope they would take away with them?
Science can make the impossible come true to better people's lives, and anyone can do it.

Replacing inappropriate school structures with brick and mortar buildings
Statement by Minister Donald Grant, Minister of Education, Western Cape
Today I visited Oaklands High School in Lansdowne to inspect the building site of their new school.
The school is one of 20 schools that are being "replaced" in terms of our infrastructure program in the current MTEF.
In 2010 the WCED released its infrastructure plan which aims to address the backlogs in school infrastructure in this province.
This plan includes, among other things, the building of 25 new schools and hundreds of additional classrooms over the next three years. It also includes the replacement of unsafe and unsuitable school structures - which is also a priority for this government.
Therefore, the new plan included targeting schools where there has been a decline in the quality of infrastructure over a long period of time. In most instances, these structures are made from wooden or chipboard materials that were built during the apartheid era.
Replacing inappropriate structures requires building a new school on the existing property. In some projects the new structure is built adjacent to the old structure, therefore learners continue to use the premises of the old school while building is taking place. In other instances, the placement of alternative accommodation such as mobiles is required for learners during the building process. The old inappropriate structures are torn down to make way for the new building site.
Replacing inappropriate structures carries extra costs compared to building a new school on a new site. One has to take into consideration costs such as demolition fees to tear down existing structures. These costs vary from project to project and we have allocated, approximately, an additional R3.5 million on top of the new building costs to each project to make provision for this. Erecting provisional mobile units to house the learners while the building process is underway also carries further costs.
Over the next three years, the WCED have identified and planned to replace 20 schools that were built with inappropriate materials and replace them with brick and mortar structures.
Eight schools are currently under construction. These include:
Twelve schools are in planning stages and include:
At Oaklands High School in Landsdowne, building is currently underway to replace their old school which is a 57 years old wooden, chipboard structure. The project began in February 2010 and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The total cost of the project is R29.5 million.
The new structure will be brick and mortar and will include the necessary specifications of materials used today. It will also be able to accommodate more learners (1 200 learners).
The new school will include 27 classrooms, 2 computer rooms, a library, school hall, new admin building, new staff/visitor parking, 5 laboratories, 2 specialist classrooms and additional sports facilities to be built on the old existing site once the new building is completed.
We are pleased with the progress of the "replacement plan" and that more learners will now have the opportunity to learn in a more suitable and safe environment where quality teaching and learning can take place.

Come in, the water's just fine! Okay, you won't be hearing any alligators saying that, but as these amazing images show, these restricted reptiles are taking the cold snap in their stride – even if their swampy home has transformed into a glittering prison of ice.
Like snorkelers who picked a particularly bad time to take a dip, these alligators at Shallotte River Swamp Park in North Carolina are trapped in frozen waters – and in these hostile, icy conditions, an ancient survival mechanism is kicking in.
Ordinarily, these alligators would be spending their time sun-bathing or resting along the bottom of their swamp, but in a video captured by staff at the Swamp Park, we can see the animals adopting a very different pose on account of the punishing cold spell currently blasting the US.
What they're doing is called brumation, which is similar to hibernation, and involves the reptiles' metabolism slowing down dramatically and going into a lethargic state, in response to very cold temperatures.
Usually, these alligators would brumate at the bottom of their swamp, coming up at least once a day for air. These are not usual times, however.
In the aftermath of a bomb cyclone, it looks like the alligators are adopting a different survival strategy, positioning themselves – or at least their snouts – at the surface of their frozen swamp, giving them ready access to air while the bitter winter persists.
"It's an interesting behaviour because it's opposite of what most crocodilians do," retired ecologist James Perran Ross explained to Live Science.
"The normal response of most other crocs when it gets really cold is to come out of the water and try to bask to get warm again."
That might not be an option here, though – because of bomb cyclone weirdness generally, and the colder-than-usual air temperatures the US is currently weathering as a result, which could be dangerous to unsheltered alligators.
"They can sense temperature changes and will stick their noses out of the water to breathe," the Swamp Park's general manager, George Howard, told HuffPost.
"In that state, they are still alive, still moving, but very lethargic."
It's an incredibly cool (ahem) survival trick, but it's not something alligators can pull off indefinitely.
Alligators can live in water temperatures as low as 4 degrees Celsius (40 degrees Fahrenheit), but in icy conditions like this, Howard reckons the reptiles would only survive for about a week.
Luckily for all concerned, the ice you're seeing here ended up thawing a few days later, meaning this frosty crew can look forward to many warmer times ahead.
"It's 65 degrees [Fahrenheit] here today and the waters have melted," Howard said on Tuesday.
"They're out and doing their happy dance."

Fabrication of coral like carbon black/MnO2 nano composites from commercial carbon black and their application in supercapacitors
A carbon black/MnO2 nano-composite (CB/MnO2) of coral-like architecture was synthesized from a commercially available conductive carbon black (CB) using an in situ method. The morphology and structural analysis of the synthesized CB/MnO2 revealed 10 nm thick MnO2 nano-sheets grown on the CB. The MnO2 nano-sheets of poorly crystalline δ-MnO2 birnessite structure assembled into a coral-like architecture. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis showed high Mn content in the composite. Electrochemical tests using the synthesized CB/MnO2 showed a specific capacitance of 946 F g−1 at a current density of 0.3 A g−1, which was much higher than that of the composites reported in the literature. Under a current density of 30 A g−1, the CB/MnO2 electrode was shown to retain a high specific capacitance after 5000 charge/discharge cycles. The results from this study demonstrate that the CB/MnO2 nano composite materials of coral-like architecture fabricated with commercially available CB and MnO2 achieved a good electrochemical performance, exhibiting promising application prospects.

Prince Charles is still entitled to kingship because Queen Elizabeth II allowed him to marry Camilla Parker Bowles, who is also a divorcee. Based on the 1772 Royal Marriages Act, members of the royal family need the permission of the sovereign to marry.
Why was Charles allowed to marry a divorced woman?
She was married in the Church of Scotland as they permit divorcees to marry. The Duke of York was also divorced and remained in the succession. Charles was technically a widower and he had an heir and a spare to inherit so the Queen felt able to allow the marriage.
Can the heir to the throne marry a divorcee?
Henry and the monarchs that followed took on the role of "defender of the faith." Since then, monarchs have pledged to uphold the religious tenets of the Church of England at their coronations. Within the royal family, it became nearly impossible to divorce or marry someone whose previous marriage had ended.
Will Prince Charles be allowed to be king?
Article bookmarked. The Prince of Wales might not ascend to the throne to become the King of England when the Queen's reign ends, despite being the heir apparent, a royal author has claimed. … He has also been described as already taking on the role of a "quasi-King" as the Queen gets older – she was 95 on Wednesday.
Can the Queen skip Charles and make William King?
But royal succession law dictates that the Queen can't just skip Charles; he'll automatically become King upon the Queen's passing. The only way for William to become King without Charles holding the title first is if Charles passes away before the Queen.
How did Charles and Diana split?
Diana and Charles separated in 1992, though they continued to carry out their royal duties. In August 1996, two months after Queen Elizabeth II urged the couple to divorce, the prince and princess reached a final agreement. … Prince Charles married the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles, on April 9, 2005.
How was Harry allowed to marry Meghan?
Every royal family fan remembers Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding. The pair tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in St. … Because of Harry's proximity to the throne, he had to get permission from his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to marry the Suits actress before it could actually happen.
Who was the first royal to get divorced?
Theirs was the original royal divorce: King Henry VIII famously split with the Catholic church in 1534 in order to divorce the first of his six wives, Katherine of Aragon, who had not become pregnant with a male heir throughout their marriage.
Can the royal family divorce?
Although once forbidden, divorce is now pretty common in the royal family. All of Queen Elizabeth's children, apart from Prince Edward, have divorced. Insider has rounded up the most recent royal couples to split in chronological order, spanning from 1901 to the present day. Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.
Can a Catholic date a divorced person?
If a person was married validly and then divorced but never obtained an annulment, then that person is still married in the eyes of the Church. He or she cannot validly marry again in the Catholic Church.
Why was Diana a princess but Kate is not?
Even though Diana was known as 'Princess Diana', Kate is not a princess just because she married Prince William. To become a Princess, one has to be born into the Royal Family such as Prince William and Kate's daughter, Princess Charlotte, or the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne.
Will Camilla become queen?
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, has been a senior working member of the Royal family for years as a result of her marriage to Prince Charles – but she will never become queen. She currently represents Queen Elizabeth II in an official capacity. Camilla was technically eligible to use another of Prince Charles' titles.
Will Kate Middleton become queen?
1. Will Kate Middleton become queen? This is a loaded question, but the straightforward answer is yes. Middleton will eventually become queen when Prince William is named king, but that won't happen until after his dad, Prince Charles.
Is Queen Elizabeth going to abdicate?
April 9, 2021, at 10:08 a.m.
How much money did William and Harry inherit from Diana?
Though they could still receive interest from the trust upon turning 25, they wouldn't inherit the full sum until they turned 30. By the time both princes were 30, the residuary estate amounted to £10 million (about $16 million) for each of them.
Will Charles ever be king of England?
The moment the queen dies, before anyone announces it or the flags reach half-mast, Charles will become king. He will instantly inherit the titles and lands, and become head of a royal family that is once again in turmoil.

We are a small, woman-owned company that started with one woman and a pickup truck. Since then, we've grown to a staff of as many as 15 during the growing season. We have built and planted over 500 gardens for residents and businesses in the DC Metro area.
Love & Carrots envisions a future where vegetable gardens a commonplace feature of our urban landscapes.
Since 2011, Love & Carrots has worked diligently to proliferate gardening knowledge with individuals, families, businesses, and organizations. We provide assistance to people who would like to have an organic garden in their yard, porch, patio, eatery, balcony, or rooftop. At Love & Carrots, we are passionate about utilizing a hands-on approach to get people excited about eating fresh, healthy food while educating them as to why going organic and eating locally are important.
We want to create a ripple effect with urban agriculture.
Our goal is to expose as many people as possible to sustainable practices and smart growing, so they can use that knowledge themselves and continue to share it with others. Love & Carrots raises awareness about sustainability and biodiversity, while simultaneously addressing nutritional education, promoting physical activity, and increasing access to nutritious food, making urban environments more conducive to healthy living.
DC is unique in that it has abundant yard space for a city, but very few people use these spaces to grow food. As of 2015, less than 1% of the city's total area is being used to grow food. Every garden we plant is a small step toward raising that statistic, reducing our carbon footprint, and positively impacting the District as a whole.
Founder, Meredith Sheperd, has been working in organic agriculture and environmental sustainability for 15 years. Before founding Love & Carrots in 2011, she was the manager of Chaily Farm in VA, which produces organic herbs and vegetables for DC restaurants.

New oil train rules could improve safety (copy)
A train of tanker cars, carrying crude oil according to the placard pictured, enters the north end of Bend at Empire Avenue in this file photo.
The Bend City Council officially opposes crude oil coming through the city by rail, though the resolution passed by the council is largely symbolic.
On Wednesday, the council unanimously adopted a resolution that takes a stand against oil trains moving through Bend due to the safety and environmental risks.
The resolution does not mean oil trains are banned from Bend — cities aren't able to do that, according to city staff. But what the resolution does do is join several other cities in Oregon to put pressure on the federal government to instill more regulations for oil traveling by train.
"It's important for us as one of many cities to come together with this message," Mayor Sally Russell said in the council's meeting Wednesday.
The resolution states that the City Council will support an areawide environmental impact statement "to identify the cumulative effects that would result from existing and proposed oil-by-rail terminals, mitigation of safety and environmental risks, and the development and review of a comprehensive Health Impact Assessment prior to approval of any new oil transfer and storage permits by any state, regional or federal agency."
The resolution also calls on the city manager to write to federal representatives and senators, as well as Gov. Kate Brown, asking that they develop legislation that would require railroad companies to make information about both current and future oil transport by rail public, and provide adequate notice to local communities of any plans for new or expanded rail facilities.
The inspiration behind the resolution came from Councilors Gena Goodman-Campbell and Melanie Kebler, who in March asked the city's environmental committee to research the safety and environmental issues around oil trains and the derailments that have happened around the Pacific Northwest.
Safety considerations of oil traveling through Bend has long been a conversation. The issue came to the forefront in 2016 after a major derailment spilled roughly 42,000 gallons of crude oil in the community of Mosier in the Columbia River Gorge.
The full resolution can be found on the meetings and agenda page of

Why stop at trains carrying oil? Don't forget the trains that carry chemicals, carbon emissions producing automobiles, coal, etc. Heck, just ban the slow moving trains from piercing the city's atmosphere, altogether.
What a waste of taxpayer money on a document not worth the paper it was printed on. Liberals are really clueless as they drove home after.
So you are asking the same government that stopped the Keystone Pipeline which is the most environmentally safe way to ship it, and that's even out of John Kerry's mouth. The city needs to spend its time better addressing issues of greater impact like a growing homeless population & fire safety measures for its citizens.

How To Read Your Propane Gauge
One of the most important things to understand about your propane tank is that the fuel gauge shows you the fuel level as a percentage of the capacity of your tank, not the total amount of gallons in the tank.
While not all propane tanks have the same gauges, their purpose remains the same: to show you how much propane is left in the tank. Most gauges are "float gauges," (like the fuel gauge in a vehicle), which reads the level of liquid propane in the tank via a floating arm. As the level drops, so does the float gauge.
If you have a propane tank for home energy usage, then you've probably noticed that after a propane delivery, the tank gauge reads 80%.
Don't worry, you're not being scammed and there is nothing wrong with your tank or the gauge. Although you use propane in gas form, propane is stored as a liquid in your tank to allow it space to expand and contract as the ambient temperature rises and falls. The maximum fill percentage is always going to be 80%.
You can perform some simple math to determine how much gas is in your propane tank. Just multiply the tank's capacity by the reading on the tank gauge.
For example, if your 500-gallon tank is showing a gauge reading of 60%, that means you have 300 gallons of gas remaining in your tank (500 x 0.6).

21 July 2004 Propagation of ultrasonic guided waves in lap-shear adhesive joints
Author Affiliations +
Abstract
This paper deals with the propagation of ultrasonic guided waves in adhesively-bonded lap-shear joints. The topic is relevant to ultrasonic bond inspection in aerospace components. Specifically, the propagation of the lowest-order, antisymmetric a0 mode through the joint is examined. This mode can be easily generated and detected in the field due to the predominant out-of-plane displacements at the surface of the test piece. An important aspect is the mode conversion at the boundaries between the single-plate adherends and the multilayer overlap. The a0 strength of transmission is studied for three different bond states in aluminum joints, namely a fully cured adhesive bond, a poorly cured adhesive bond, and a slip bond. Theoretical predictions based on the Global Matrix Method indicate that the dispersive behavior of the guided waves in the multilayer overlap is highly dependent on bond state. Experimental tests of the joints are conducted by a hybrid, broadband laser/air-coupled ultrasonic setup in a through-transmission configuration. This system does not require any wet coupling and it can be moved flexibly across the test piece. The Gabor Wavelet transform is employed to extract energy transmission coefficients in the 100 kHz - 1.4 MHz range for the three different bond states examined. The cross-sectional mode shapes of the guided waves are shown to have a substantial role in the energy transfer through the joint. A rationale for the selection of the a0 excitation frequencies highly sensitive to bond state will be given.

Compound queriesedit
Compound queries wrap other compound or leaf queries, either to combine their results and scores, to change their behaviour, or to switch from query to filter context.
The queries in this group are:
constant_score query
A query which wraps another query, but executes it in filter context. All matching documents are given the same "constant" _score.
bool query
The default query for combining multiple leaf or compound query clauses, as must, should, must_not, or filter clauses. The must and should clauses have their scores combined — the more matching clauses, the better — while the must_not and filter clauses are executed in filter context.
dis_max query
A query which accepts multiple queries, and returns any documents which match any of the query clauses. While the bool query combines the scores from all matching queries, the dis_max query uses the score of the single best- matching query clause.
function_score query
Modify the scores returned by the main query with functions to take into account factors like popularity, recency, distance, or custom algorithms implemented with scripting.
boosting query
Return documents which match a positive query, but reduce the score of documents which also match a negative query.

Is it possible to find the distance of a pixel to a rendered sphere, in screen space? All my naive solutions for just using the 2D screen distances are failing because of the warping that occurs during projection.

See maybe Closest point on an ellipsoid. But I'm not sure that's really what you are looking for. Could you maybe explain what is the purpose of knowing that distance? – Sam Hocevar May 26 '12 at 14:24

It's definitely possible, though it doesn't have a clean explicit formula. The projection of a sphere is an ellipse, and given the projection matrix you should be able to find an explicit formula for the ellipse, something of the form ax^2+bxy+cy^2+dx+ey+f=0 (the canonical formula for a conic section); from this you can find a rational parametrization of the ellipse (of the form x=f(t), y=g(t) with f and g rational functions). The problem then comes down to minimizing (f(t)-x_0)^2+(g(t)-y_0)^2 as a function of t, and it turns out that rootfinding methods work pretty well for this - there are exact solutions but they require solving a degree-4 equation, which can involve hairy complex arithmetic and tends to be less numerically stable (and thus less accurate) than the approximate methods anyway.

Your screen is a plan. Your sphere is an elipse. When the user clicks somewhere on the screen it's easy to find the coordinates on the screen plan. Then you just have to apply basic elipsis equation in order to know if the selected point is inside or outside the elipsis and how far it is.
share|improve this answer
This works if the question is 'is my click point inside the ellipse or not?' but not if the question is 'how far is my click point from the ellipse?' - there the calculation of, say, (x/2)^2+(y/3)^2 doesn't result in a distance value. – Steven Stadnicki May 26 '12 at 16:32

Drastic changes to travel behavior during the pandemic have decreased fuel tax revenue in many states, but the extent and timing of financial recovery in the years to come remain uncertain. New research from the Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI), "The Impact of the COVID-19 Recovery on California Transportation Revenue: A Scenario Analysis through 2040," estimates the impact the COVID-19 pandemic would have on state-generated transportation revenue under six potential economic recovery scenarios, projecting the state's future transportation revenue through 2040.
The six scenarios vary by several variables, including the length of the economic downturn and differences in transportation trends such as vehicle miles traveled (VMT), light-duty fleet size, and the mix of internal-combustion engine (ICE) vs. zero-emission vehicles (ZEV). The study used a tested spreadsheet model and well-known data sources to project transportation revenues generated by California's Senate Bill 1 (2017) package of taxes and fees. These are taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, plus two annual fees levied on vehicles.
While there is no certainty that the future will resemble any of the chosen scenarios, they nevertheless help state leaders assess and design policies to achieve desired outcomes.
The study's revenue projections under these six scenarios found that:
- The projections demonstrate that annual California transportation revenue by 2040 could range from as little as $6.5 billion to as much as $10.9 billion.
- The projected cumulative revenue raised between 2020 and 2040 varies across the scenarios by more than $40 billion.
- In 2020, taxes on fuels will generate roughly three-quarters of state generated transportation revenue but will likely generate a much smaller percentage of overall revenue by 2040 (in four of the six scenarios, they generate less than a quarter of revenues).
"The findings highlight the need for California's policy leader to prepare a long-term strategy for raising adequate transportation revenues that take into account the wide variation that will arise," says Principal Investigator Dr. Asha W. Agrawal.
Researchers suggest that in order to achieve its policy goals of reducing carbon emissions from the transportation sector, California's policymakers may wish to change the structure of taxes to replace the revenue lost from fuel taxes. For instance, the research team suggests supplementing the existing tax structure with a new road-user charge of one cent per mile.

The Meaning of What Is Interference in Physics
After the source emits two photons nearly simultaneously, they're likely to be headed for the exact same spot on the object, but one may visit the camera instead. Echo is a repetition of sound on account of the reflection of original sound by a big and difficult obstacle. For instance, the image of a perfect shoe will appear to be a left shoe.
A timeless instance of specular reflection is a mirror, which is made specifically for specular buy research papers reflection. Sound reflection can impact the acoustic space. In general, reflection and refraction are two fundamental facts connected with light, which are studied along.
Fortunately, the rules for adding waves are rather straightforward. The superposition of the majority of waves produces a mixture of constructive and destructive interference and can change from place to place and time to time. Any type of wave exhibits this behavior, with the suitable set-up.
The building height matches the condition for preparing a standing wave for that specific height. It isn't a indication that the aircraft just overcame the sound barrier, but instead a indication that the aircraft is traveling faster than sound. The quantity this website of flow and the quantity of change in pressure differs at various places in the bore.
The What Is Interference in Physics Game
Reduce the amount of devices you have operating in the exact same area. Also, make certain the units agree together. If they're non-essential devices including Bluetooth radios, look at disconnecting them.
The purpose of maximum positive displacement on a transverse wave is called crest. Such a transformation is known as isometric transformation. Increasing the worth of one of these parameters needs a drop in the sum of both of the other parameters.

The Pain of What Is Interference in Physics
You won't be ready to assemble a rocket. In some instances, faults like poor aerial _URL_ connections, can cause be the reason for the interference. This sort of interference is known as Destructive Interference.
Wavefront A wavefront is understood to be the continuous locus of all of the particles of a medium, which are vibrating in exactly the same phase. Interference is basically an energy redistribution procedure. It usually refers to the interaction of waves that are correlated or coherent with each other.
The result is most noticeable once the gap is the exact same size as the wavelength. The quantity of light reflected by means of an object, and the way that it is reflected, is highly dependent on the smoothness or texture of the surface. Specular reflection is liable for the glare.
A mirror is made from glass that is coated with a uniform layer of a very reflective material like powder. It is transmitted through the rod and can be seen on the other extremity. Light that's transmitted reaches the bottom surface and might once more be transmitted or reflected.
The Appeal of What Is Interference in Physics
The sorts of structured reflection outlined within this module are made to link one's service experiences to personal, along with community, development. It is crucial to have an exhaustive knowledge in reflection and scattering to be able to excel in such fields. The 2 sources of light ought to be very close to one another.
The shifts aren't symmetric. Spiritual fulfillment may just be a concern during times of worship. In computing, the idea of superposition has important implications for the manner information is going to be processed and stored later on.

On the Origins of Virtue by Matt Ridley, Viking, ISBN _PHONE_ Reviewed by Laurence Hurst
NATURE is red in tooth and claw. It is hard to see how things could be otherwise, given that it is the fittest who survive. So understanding how natural selection can lead to cooperation, provides evolutionary biology with one of its greatest challenges. Such an understanding is also, Matt Ridley argues in Origins of Virtue, the key to conserving the world's fisheries.
The problem is that cheats can prosper. Fishermen who take more than their quota get something for nothing. But whereas cooperation is rare in animal groups, humans, Ridley notes, are curiously disposed towards it (some fishermen excepted). Humans, Ridley argues, evolved in small groups where reciprocal trading was important, and trust between trading parties a crucial concern.
The thesis is attractive and well supported with evidence drawn from many disciplines....
