Muscat – A team of specialists from the Environment Authority has been monitoring an Arabian Sea humpback whale in the Port of Duqm waters for a week.
A statement issued by the authority said, 'The specialists confirmed that the whale was rescued last January from fishing nets in the port and that they have been following the whale to ensure its welfare and safe passage out of the port.'
In January, a massive rescue effort was undertaken to save the whale as it got stranded in the Port of Duqm after being entangled in nets.
Specialists and volunteers from the authority, Five Oceans Environmental Services and Future Seas, supported by Environment Society of Oman and the Port of Duqm, rescued the whale in January.
The authority added that the incident highlights the dangers posed by abandoned fishing gear to the marine environment.
Arabian Sea humpback whales are a small subpopulation of humpback whales, which are the most genetically distinct whales and the most isolated whale population on earth. A study suggests that these have remained separate from other humpback whale populations for perhaps 70,000 years.

Vegetable pizza
Vegetable pizza
Known as pizza all'ortolana (pizza with things from the vegetable garden), this vegetable pizza is finished with dots of pesto that you add just before serving. It's important the vegetables are cut thinly – a peeler does this job well.
Half a pizza provides 855 kcal, 21g protein, 102.5g carbohydrates (of which 7.5g sugars), 36.5g fat (of which 7.5g saturates), 7.5g fibre and 2.9g salt.
For the dough
For the topping
For the pesto
To garnish (optional)
 - fresh basil leaves, courgette flowers or raddichio
 - grated parmesan
 1. To make the dough, dissolve the yeast in 300ml/½ pint of room temperature water and add the sugar. Leave in a warm spot for 10 minutes, during which time it should start to bubble gently.
 2. Place the flours in a mixing bowl and mix in half the yeast liquid. Add the salt and oil and mix again before adding the rest of the liquid. Continue to work the ingredients together to form a soft dough.
 3. Rub your hands and work surface with olive oil and turn out the dough. Knead, using the heel of your hand to fold the dough up and over itself, for 3 minutes. Put the dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth and leave to sit in a warm place for 2 hours or until it doubles in size.
 4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and cut in two, then tuck the corners under to make neat balls. Put on a tray, cover with clingfilm and leave to sit for another 20 minutes.
 5. Preheat the oven to 250C/230C Fan/Gas 9 (or as hot as your oven will go).
 6. To make the topping, prepare the vegetables by cutting the pepper into slender strips and using a peeler to make ribbons of courgette and aubergine. Put all the vegetables all in a bowl and toss with salt and olive oil.
 7. To make the pesto, put the almonds, garlic, basil and oil in a blender and blend to a chunky sauce. Stir in the grated parmesan and season with salt to taste.
 8. Roll the balls of dough into thin pizza bases and lift onto large baking trays. Dip your fingertips in oil and then dimple the dough by lightly pressing your fingertips onto the surface.
 9. Spread the tomato sauce or passata over the circles leaving the edges uncovered. Divide the vegetables between the pizzas, pressing them down so they are sitting on the dough and drizzle with oil.
 10. Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden and the vegetables browning at their edges.
 11. Dot the cooked pizzas with pesto and return to the oven for a minute. Garnish with torn basil leaves, courgette flowers, ribbons of raddichio rubbed with oil or a handful of grated parmesan, if you like.
Recipe Tips
This straightforward pizza dough produces a pizza that is somewhere between a thin and crisp edged Roman pizza and the plumper bordered Neapolitan one. It is not a wet dough, but kneading with oily hands on an oily work top is both satisfying and prevents the incorporation of too much extra flour. It also lends flavour and helps give deep colour as it bakes.


New York City is building its first underground park
An abandoned trolley terminal on New York's Lower East Side is being transformed into one of the world's first underground parks, called the Lowline. The park's creator, James Ramsey, joins Hari Sreenivasan to talk about the park's cutting edge technology that will bring sunlight underground to help the park flourish.
An abandoned trolly terminal on New York City's Lower East Side is being transformed into one of the world's first underground parks called the Lowline.
The park's creator, James Ramsey, is here to talk about the cutting-edge technology that will bring sunlight underground to help the park flourish.
So, the Lowline, a lot of people in New York, and maybe even other parts of the country, have heard of the High Line, which is this, you know, beautiful elevated set of tracks, and it's New York's, really, newest park.
But by 2020, what is the Lowline?
Well, so the basic premise of the Lowline is that we can use these advanced solar technologies to capture natural sunlight, transport it through the street where we then redistribute it and use that natural sunlight to grow plants and to create a public space in a really crowded area of the city.
Okay, I mean, the basic question is, how do you get sunlight underground?
Yeah, I knew you were gonna ask that.
Let me sort of back up one step.
You know, in a former life, I was a NASA engineer.
Just a peon, but we did some really interesting stuff.
And so the basic premise is taking these sort of laboratory cell optics, scaling them up to architectural scale, and using that to concentrate natural sunlight, to send it through tubes in a super-concentrated form, and then once it lands where you want to put it, you then spread that light back out and use it to grow things.
So, if I'm standing in the Lowline in 2020 -- or I'm standing there in 2020 -- I'm gonna feel like the rays of the sun, these are the actual rays of the sun, are warming my hand?
Well, I mean, yes and no.
It is literally natural sunlight that we're taking from one place and relocating to another place.
However, we're actually taking out all the infrared so we don't, you know, create a death ray or something like that.
And so it's sunlight, but you don't feel the warmth, necessarily.
It's perceptible visually as sunlight and it has all those sort of beneficial qualities, including plant growth and, you know, making people happier.
But it doesn't heat things or burn things.
So, how do you create -- How do you capture and condense the rays down and what kind of tubes do you use to actually get it underground?
Yeah, well, we're working with this amazing Korean company called Sunportal, right?
And we've been developing these systems.
And, effectively, we take a parabolic mirror, a very large one, and use that to focus the sun's rays down and then re-collimate it with another smaller parabolic mirror.
And so you end up with a column of light, like a ray, that's 30 times brighter than the sun.
And then we can sort of send that through tubes and lenses and mirrors and actually deliver, really, anywhere we want.
And when that light gets underground, what is that sunlight going to be on top of?
Just a space where the people walk around or where you said plants are gonna be growing?
Yeah, I mean, I think the light itself, you know, number one, of course, is perfect for growing stuff.
But number two, people like it.
It's good for, you know, well-being, let's say, and human enjoyment.
And you also have a lab component to this that's already up?
Yeah, absolutely.
So, if you're curious as to how that feels, we actually have an active lab that's open to the public right now, actually.
It's at 140 Essex Street.
And it's open on weekends to the general public, so anyone can go down there and see it.
And, you know, if you're curious, you can also have your kids attend with their school groups during the week.
What are the uses of this besides this particular park?
I mean, where else could people need to funnel sunlight?
Well, I mean, I think it has pretty far-reaching implications.
You put it into anything underground, obviously.
Anything with a really deep floor plate.
Anything like a hospital, a jail, a school, et cetera.
I think it would be actually kind of perfect for a moon base, but, you know, that's a little out there.
James Ramsey.
The project's called Lowline.
Thanks so much for joining us.
Thank you.

It may seen impossible to get an egg into a bottle, but with this article, you can amaze people and let them wonder how you did it!
- 1Get a glass bottle and a peeled, hard-boiled egg. Make sure the bottle has no liquid inside and that it is free of flammable substances.
- 2Stand the glass bottle upright with the opening skywards.
- 3Carefully light three matches. With extreme caution, drop them into the bottle. Wait a second or two.
- 4Quickly put the egg onto the bottle's opening, wide end up.
- 5Wait. After the matches go out, the egg will be pulled into the bottle. Then, amaze your friends.
- This trick works because when the matches burn, they heat up the air inside the bottle and release steam (water) as a part of the combustion reaction. This process causes the air inside the bottle to expand, forcing some out of the bottle. Once the egg seals the top of the bottle, the matches quickly run out of oxygen and go out. As the air in the bottle cools, the volume of air inside the bottle drops due to condensation of the water vapor (look for the little "cloud" inside the bottle just as the match goes out) and the cooling of dry air. When the volume of the air drops, it exerts less pressure on the egg, while the air pressure outside of the bottle doesn't change. The egg is pushed into the bottle once the difference between those forces is sufficient to deform the egg and overcome friction with the neck of the bottle.
- To get the egg out of the bottle again, see this article
- Most of the time the egg will be intact once it's been sucked in, but results will vary.
- You can also do this with a balloon. Stretch the opening of a balloon over the opening of the bottle and it will get blown up inside the bottle.
- Do not wait too long after you light the matches. They will burn out.
- The mouth of the bottle should be small, but still at least half the diameter of the egg.
- Want to leave the eggshell on the egg? Simply soak the egg in vinegar for 24 hours until the eggshell is soft and then follow the same instructions. Then wait another 24 hours and the eggshell will be hard again. You can even do this with a raw egg.
- If you have long hair, make sure to tie it back, because hair is flammable.
- Do not do this project if you don't know how to use a lighter.
- Do not attempt this over a rug or similar objects.
- If you are under eighteen, do NOT attempt this without adult supervision. Have the adult light the matches for you if you are unsure.
Edit Things You'll Need
- A glass bottle with a large enough mouth to admit an egg (see "Tips")
- 3 matches/lighter
- A hard boiled egg, peeled
- Safety goggles

Quick Answer: Can A Brain Scan Show Mental Illness?
Can MRI scan detect mental illness?
MRIs and related technology are becoming increasingly adept at diagnosing mental illness.
Currently, magnetic resonance imaging can play an important role alongside the observations of physicians and other mental health care professionals..
Can EEG detect mental illness?
Electroencephalography, or EEG, technology that measures brain function could encourage earlier diagnoses of common mental and neurological disorders, including autism, ADHD and dementia, according to findings published in The Neurodiagnostic Journal.
Can a brain scan show ADHD?
Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to identify people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from patients without the condition, according to a new study published in Radiology.
Can a brain scan show bipolar?
Can an EEG detect bipolar disorder?
Generally, routine electroencephalography (EEG) is unnecessary in the evaluation of bipolar disorder, or manic-depressive illness (MDI).
Can an EEG detect anxiety?
Increased communication between the amygdala and hippocampus appear to correlate with symptoms of depression and anxiety, in findings that may have treatment implications, new research suggests.
What does slow brain waves on an EEG mean?
Focal slow wave activity on the EEG is indicative of focal cerebral pathology of the underlying brain region. Slowing may be intermittent or persistent, with more persistent or consistently slower activity generally indicating more severe underlying focal cerebral dysfunction.
Can you see mental illness on a brain scan?
Brain scans alone cannot be used to diagnose a mental disorder, such as autism, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder. In some cases, a brain scan might be used to rule out other medical illnesses, such as a tumor, that could cause symptoms similar to a mental disorder, such as depression.
What can a brain scan detect?
CT scans, which use X-rays to detect brain structures, can show evidence of brain atrophy, strokes and ischemia, changes to the blood vessels, and other problems such as hydrocephalus and subdural hematomas. MRI scans use magnetic fields and focused radio waves to detect hydrogen atoms in tissues within the body.

text: We perform laser induced fluorescence(LIF) spectroscopy on a pulsed supersonic beam of tungsten carbide(WC) molecules, which has been proposed as a candidate molecular system for a permanent Electric Dipole Moment(EDM) search of the electron in its rovibrational ground state of the X3Delta1 state. In particular, [20.6]Omega=2, v'=4 <- X3Delta1,v"=0 transition at 485nm was used for the detection. The hyperfine structure and the Omega-doublet of the transition are measured, which are essential for estimating the size of the potential systematic uncertainties for electron EDM measurement. For further suppression of the systematic uncertainty, an alternative electron EDM measurement scheme utilizing the g factor crossing point of the Omega-doublet levels is discussed. On the other hand, flux and internal temperature of the molecular beam are characterized, which sets the limit on the statistical uncertainty of the electron EDM experiment. With the given results, the prospect of electron EDM experiment with the X3Delta1 state of WC molecule is discussed.

Cherokee Preservation Foundation's strategies have been shaped by the cultural values put down on paper by members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians before they began helping Cherokee Preservation Foundation plan the first of many culture-based initiatives. These tenets help explain how Cherokee have been a resilient people who have been able to surmount many crises and hardships. The Cherokee value:
- Spirituality, which creates a bond among Cherokee people in good times and bad, and is a source of hope.
- Group harmony in community and kin relationships, and freely sharing and giving time, talent and treasures.
- Strong individual character, with integrity, honesty, perseverance, courage, respect, trust, honor and humility.
- Strong connection with the land and commitment to stewardship of the homelands of the Cherokee.
- Honoring the past by knowing one's ancestors, identifying with and belonging to the tribe, and living and preserving Cherokee culture.
- Educating the children by providing values-oriented education and recreation, and by being strong role models for them.
- Possessing a sense of humor, which can lighten pressure in serious situations and help people make good decisions.

It would be great if the emumeration goes ahead regardless of problems like ERROR Combinatorial Reaction Enumeration (beta) Execute failed: Dearomatization groups: internal error: atom_aromatic_connectivity < 0.
Just return a null or an error in the output. This skipping errors is particularly important when there are a large no of transformations. Same goes for Molecule transformation node.

text: The 2003 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Final Rule changed the definition of recordable work-related hearing loss. This study investigated the Alcoa Inc. audiometric database to evaluate the impact of this new rule. The 2003 rule increased the rate of potentially recordable hearing loss events from 0.2% to 1.6% per year. A total of 68.6% of potentially recordable cases had American Academy of Audiology/American Medical Association (AAO/AMA) hearing impairment at the time of recordability. On average, recordable loss occurred after onset of impairment, whereas the non-age-corrected 10-dB standard threshold shift (STS) usually preceded impairment. The OSHA Final Rule will significantly increase recordable cases of occupational hearing loss.

Create obstacles procedurally
 - I'm trying to make an infinite runner like Canabalt.
 I know how to make a paralax effect for the background, but have no idea about how to create the random obstacles and ground.
 What would be the best way to do it?
 I have a little idea, maybe the player doesn't move and it only jumps, but the platform and obstacles create the sense of movement and I'll have to do some calculations to create holes that the player can jump, but I dont know how.
 - First create several different types of platforms you want the player to land on while running.
 next, using the system (every 1 second or something) to spawn new objects.
 Set their X position to just beyond the.x of the layout of the screen so that they will start off screen.
 Next use a system every tick event to move the platforms back in -X towards the player at whatever interval you want (probably a variable that will increase over time to speed up the buildings.
 Then lock the player's jump so that its only up and down and they can't move left and right.
 to separate the platforms so that they get created at a variable distance, set that original random timer you used to spawn the platforms to a setting like random(5) seconds. This way, some will be further apart and some will be closer together. Make sure the maximum distance apart isn't too big for the player to jump though. Also you will probably need to add another variable to that as the speed increases because the gap the player crosses will get bigger and bigger as the speed of the platforms come towards them.

 I just bought the standard version of Construct 2 to be able to publish to IOS/Android and use families.
 But using dt i've found a new problem:
 The objects appear at minimal diferent distances and I can't use Wrap behaviour because it interferes with other things i'm planning to do.

1519.1 What does good cause mean?
"Good cause" means that you did not file the lump-sum death payment application within the time limit because of:
Circumstances beyond your control, such as extended illness, communication difficulties, etc.;
Incorrect or incomplete information given to you by us;
Your efforts to get the evidence to support the claim, not realizing you could file the application within the time limit and submit the supporting evidence later; or
Unusual or unavoidable circumstances that show that you could not reasonably be expected to have been aware of the need to file the application within a specified period.
1519.2 When is good cause NOT established?
Good cause is not established if:
You were informed that an application for the lump-sum death payment had to be filed within the initial two-year period; and
You did not file the application because of neglect, or because you did not then want to claim the lump-sum death payment.


of my screen, while opening the generated log file on the right (don't pay too much attention to the colors, the discoloration is due to how the alpha channel is being dumped):
It is then usually a rather straightforward task to find a suitable hash code by following these steps:
 - Find the point in the image dump where the first HUD elements appear. In our case, this happens when going from "dump113" to "dump114".
 - Use text search to find the corresponding line in the log file.
 - Continue on downwards to the first call of "SetPixelShader." The second parameter to this call is the hash code we are looking for.
One complication you might notice is that the HUD is already displayed in "dump111". This can happen in many games if a framebuffer used in a previous frame is not cleared. A more solid guideline for (1) in such cases would be "find the last point in the frame dump where no HUD elements are visible", but a bit of experimentation might be required even so.
Creating a Game Profile
In order to use our newly gained hash code, all that remains is creating a game profile for Mass Effect 3. This means creating a subdirectory in the "config" path of the GeDoSaTo installation named after the game executable—that is, as we figured out for the whitelist entry in the beginning, "MassEffect3"—and putting a "GeDoSaTo.ini" file into it. We can then use the built-in editor of GeDoSaToTool to edit it and add the hash code, like so:
We could also add more settings which we only want to apply for Mass Effect 3. Additionally, by placing a "post.fx" shader file in the same directory we can arbitrarily change the post-processing shader used for the game. As a small demonstration that our targeted injection is working, I created a shader which turns the image into a grayscale rendering:
As you can see, only the 3D rendered parts of the game are affected, while the HUD elements still retain their color. In addition to targeted postprocessing, we can now also use the "takeHUDlessScreenshot" keybinding in Mass Effect 3.
While its main purpose is still high-quality downsampling, the current version of GeDoSaTo can also be used as an alternative to SweetFX for the injection of post-processing effects. It goes beyond the scope of similar tools as, with a bit more effort, it can be tuned to apply only where you really want it to, without affecting HUD or UI elements.
If you find some hashes or create good profiles for games which are not yet supported, please do take a moment to contribute them to the project at Github, so that all users of GeDoSaTo can benefit from your efforts. Github offers an easy to use interface and plenty of documentation for how to set up pull requests, which are the best way to contribute—and of course your contribution will be immortalized in the GeDoSaTo version history!


What Happens If You Swallow Dental Floss?
When a person swallows dental floss, the body usually does not have any problems, and the dental floss passes through undigested, states ZocDoc. On rare occasions, it causes a blockage in the stomach or intestines or causes two loops of bowel to become stuck together.
Symptoms of a blocked GI tract are nausea, discomfort, abdominal swelling and the inability to pass gas or stool, advises ZocDoc. This is a serious condition that may require surgical intervention. If the dental floss gets caught and ties two bowel loops together, they may become fused, resulting in a serious condition that also may require surgery to correct.

What's a Boilermaker, and What Does It Have to Do With Purdue?
Have you even been watching a University of Purdue football or basketball game and found yourself wondering what their nickname, the Boilermakers, means?
According to legend, the nickname dates back to the late-19th century when the school perennially routed nearby Wabash College at football, and Wabash supporters wound up hurling derogatory names at their competition. The town began calling the Purdue team things like "a great big burly gang of corn-huskers," "rail-splitters," "foundry molders" and "log-haulers."
It wasn't just fueled by those with sour grapes, either. In 1891 a Daily Argus article about the latest blowout proclaimed, "Wabash Snowed Completely Under by the Burly Boiler Makers from Purdue."
The Purdue community embraced the moniker. What's funny is that the term made a great deal of sense for the Indiana residents who would build railroad shops in the local area in the years that followed. Guess sometimes a small-town newspaper can really be ahead of the game.

Presence of the Gift
Philosophers, social theorists and cultural theorists have generally followed Mauss in assuming that gifts entail obligatory exchanges between distinct parties who give, receive and reciprocate, and, that the social emerges through this sequence of obligations. It is the obligation to reciprocate, for example, that led Derrida to claim that the gift is impossible. We consider the alternative ideas that non-exchange gifts are not only possible but the basis of social life: that the social arises from the nonsequential giving-and-receiving of a gift relation. To develop this claim, we draw on a research project on the phenomenology of teaching. While many interviewees, teachers and students, spoke of the gift in exchange terms, many also spoke of classroom experiences in which there is a giving and receiving that is neither sequential nor locatable. Through the resonances of the concept of presence, we draw out the time, space and ontology of the gift.

Surface Sensing Technology and New Measurement Algorithms,
Conventional laser displacement sensors were unsuitable for measuring transparent and translucent targets, as well as targets that produced multiple reflections. Thanks to the ABLE surface sensing technology and new measurement algorithms, highly accurate measurement of these types of targets is now possible.
ABLE technology senses the surface of a target and adjusts the intensity of laser light to an optimal level. ABLE intelligently controls the three elements of laser emission time, laser power, and gain (CCD amplification factor), achieving a wide adjustment range of light intensity that is up to 90 times wider than conventional models. In addition, speed is 120 times faster than conventional models through the use of real-time control with a high performance CPU. Accurate measurement can be performed despite drastic changes in the target's surface condition. * ABLE= Active Balanced Laser control Engine
RPD cancels the gradual broadening of the received light waveform generated by diffused reflection of laser light that enters the target, and then it reliably detects the true peak position (Real Peak) * RPD= Real Peak Detect.
High-accuracy measurements unaffected by transmission factors or
reflectance ratio are enabled by optimizing the laser light
intensity for each layer of a transparent target and synthesizing
the waveform of each layer.
When two or more peaks are generated by multiple reflections, the
algorithm compares the waveforms to the most recent received-light
waveform and determines the one with the most similarity to the
(Patent pending) * MRC=Multiple Reflection Cancel
Two types of laser beam spot diameters are available:
* Wide beam spot type features a newly designed cylindrical lens enabling stable measurements on patterned surfaces.
* Small beam spot type features a sharp 30 µm beam spot diameter for minute target measurement.

Do Bones Burn During Cremation?
By Staff WriterLast Updated Mar 28, 2020 1:30:38 AM ET
During the cremation process, bones are only partially burned and not completely destroyed. The process involves subjecting the remains to intense flame and heat, during which all organic matter is consumed.
The cremation process leaves behind certain bone fragments. After the remains are removed from the cremation chamber, a magnet removes any metal that was inside the body, such as implants and dental fixtures. The remaining bone fragments are then processed into fine particles and placed into a container. The cremation process generally takes about three hours and entails a careful labelling system to ensure that the remains are properly identified through the entire process.


text: Animal horn or tusk trumpets with mouthpieces drilled into the side are found throughout Africa. Ivory trumpets often symbolize kingly power, and those associated with royal ensembles are decorated with skins, wooden extensions, and beautiful carving. This is true among the Mangbetu of the Democratic Republic of Congo, who fashioned this instrument. Once acquired, the ivory is entrusted to carvers who may take over two months to re-form the tusk and make it playable. Royal instruments are carved in deep relief with ridges and a projecting mouthpiece, seen, in this example, at right of center. Another conspicuous royal motif, appearing at the left, is a canoe-shaped design. Elegant trumpets like this one are used in pairs to accompany dances or signal the entrance and departure of the king. Europeans prized instruments such as this because of their elegant design, and the Mangbetu responded by producing trade instruments that were unfinished and unplayable. The Museum's trumpet, however, is masterfully finished and possesses a booming voice.

Richard Axel and Linda Buck honored for discovering genetic coding that allows us to identify and distinguish thousands of smells
NEW YORK, NY, October 4, 2004 – Richard Axel, M.D. of Columbia University Medical Center has won the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine along with Linda B. Buck, Ph.D., of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center for clarifying how the olfactory system works. Dr. Buck was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia when she and Dr. Axel jointly published the fundamental paper on the subject in 1991.
The sense of smell has remained the most enigmatic of the senses. The work of Drs. Axel and Buck has provided understanding on how the nose is able to distinguish more than 10,000 distinct smells. The researchers discovered a gene pool of more than 1,000 different genes that encode olfactory receptors in the nose that detect odors and olfaction. This is believed to be the largest gene family in the human genome.
"I'm deeply honored and very pleased," said Dr. Axel. "This honor represents the long efforts of the many faculty, students and fellows who have worked within our laboratories at Columbia University Medical Center. I have received enormous support over the years beginning with the scholarship I received to attend Columbia College. I have to also thank the National Institutes of Health and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute that allowed the performance of truly novel experiments by our research team."
Dr. Richard Axel is University Professor, Columbia University, and Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University Medical Center. He has been at Columbia University Medical Center his entire career, and was an undergraduate at Columbia College.
Axel and Buck join a group of 70 notable Columbians whose work has been recognized by the Nobel Foundation, including 19 in the category of physiology or medicine.
"Columbia University is honored that our esteemed faculty member, Richard Axel, has received the Nobel Prize for his pioneering studies clarifying how our sense of smell works," said Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger. "Dr. Axel's groundbreaking research solves the puzzle of how we translate the sensations around us into knowledge that is key for our survival and quality of life."
"Dr. Axel's work is among the most important discoveries of the past 50 years, providing insights regarding how individuals perceive their external environment," said Gerald D. Fischbach, executive vice president, Columbia University Medical Center. "He has been an enormously important influence for all the sciences here at Columbia University, the medical center and the College of Physicians and Surgeons. His wide range of interests and enormous skills in molecular biology have influenced faculty throughout the university."
"We congratulate Richard and Linda for their profoundly important discovery, and for the way in which they achieved it," said David Hirsh, executive vice president for research at Columbia University. "Their experiments represent the highest form of creativity, scientific discipline and scholarship. This is science at its most beautiful."
The sense of smell is possible because neurons directly connect the brain to the outside world. In the nose, receptors on the neurons pick up odors from the environment and send that information directly to the olfactory bulb, the first relay station in the brain. Drs. Axel and Buck determined how neurons converge in the olfactory bulb, which gave them further insights into how smell is processed in the brain. Each olfactory receptor cell possesses only one type of odorant receptor, and each receptor can detect a limited number of odorant substances, so the olfactory receptor cells are highly specialized for a few odors. Most odors are composed of multiple odorant molecules, and each odorant molecule activates several odorant receptors, leading to a combined odorant pattern, which allows us to recognize and form memories of approximately 10,000 different odors. The combination of odorant receptors activated when we smell a rose tell us that it smells nice and is different from the combination of receptors activated by rotting fish.
The sense of smell is essential to the survival of most species, who use their olfactory systems to identify food, smell predators and observe and interpret their environments. In humans, smells warn us if food has gone bad and can be powerful enough to trigger distinct memories years later.
Axel and his colleagues also developed gene transfer techniques that permit the introduction of virtually any gene into any cell, allowing the analysis of gene function in vivo. These experiments in cell transformation led to the isolation and functional analysis of the gene for the T-cell surface protein, CD4, the cellular receptor for HIV. He then began to apply the techniques of molecular biology to problems in neurobiology. He identified the peptide genes responsible for eliciting an innate behavior in a marine snail, and molecular analysis of these genes suggests how diverse behavioral patterns may be encoded in the genetic material and inherited from parent to offspring.

Q:
Can one arm be longer than the other?
A:
Quick Answer
The University of Mississippi Medical Center states that it is possible for one arm to be longer than the other. According to the UMMC, a difference in the length of either individual���s arms or legs is called limb length discrepancy.
Continue Reading
Full Answer
The UMMC lists congenital deformities such as dysplasias, developmental deformities such as improper fracture growth or infections, and diseases such as osteomyelitis as possible causes for the limb length discrepancy. When the discrepancy causes a negative impact on the individual���s life, it is possible to undergo limb lengthening surgery to correct the limb. This is most commonly done with discrepancies in the legs.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has initiated a new investigation into Tesla's 2023 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles over concerns of loss of steering control and power steering. The inquiry was begun after the NHTSA received 12 complaints from owners of the impacted automobiles in recent complaints.
According to the NHTSA, five of the complaints indicate that the driver behind the sudden steering wheel was unable to steer the car at all, while the other seven complaints allege that suddenly steering wheel of the vehicle suddenly lost power steering. One of the allegations also featured an accident, although there were no injuries recorded.
The NHTSA's study is still in its preliminary evaluation formative phases, and it is unknown what is causing the steering difficulties in the impacted vehicles. However, Tesla has confirmed that it is aware of the issue and is trying to examine it.
This is the second NHTSA inquiry into Tesla's steering systems in 2023. In June, the NHTSA started an inquiry into the 2023 Model S and Model X vehicles over concerns of power steering issues.
The NHTSA's latest investigations into Tesla's steering systems are a reminder that even the most modern automobiles may have safety hazards. It is vital for drivers to be aware of these possible hazards and to take actions to keep safe, such as having their cars routinely maintained and inspected.
What Tesla Owners Should Do
If you are the owner of a 2023 model of Tesla Model 3 or Model Y, you should be aware of the possible steering concerns and take action to keep safe with electric vehicles. Here are some tips:
Be mindful of the indicators of steering issues, such as trouble turning the steering wheel itself, a lack of power steering, or a warning message on the opposite side of the dashboard.
If you notice the driver has any issues with the steering, you the driver should immediately pull over to a safe spot and contact Tesla.
Make sure that a trained professional does routine maintenance and inspections on your car.
What to Anticipate from the Investigation being Conducted by the NHTSA
It is anticipated that the NHTSA's examination engineering analysis of Tesla's steering systems will take a number of months to complete. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is going to investigate whether or if the steering problems are a widespread problem by gathering information from Tesla, customers, and other sources. The NHTSA could also do inspections and tests on the automobiles that are in question.
If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) does a formal investigation and concludes that the steering faults constitute an issue that poses a safety risk, it is possible that it may require Tesla to recall the vehicles that are impacted by steering control problems. In the event of a recall, Tesla would need to either repair or replace the vehicles' steering systems in order to satisfy the terms of the recall.
NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation is probing approximately 280,000 Tesla vehicles over reports of loss of steering control
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened an investigation into approximately 280,000 Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles over reports of loss of steering control.
In some of the reported incidents, Tesla owners described that when navigating a tight turn, the car steering felt stuck, and the car steering assist reduced, making it a concern about the steering rack as well which is a potentially dangerous situation on the road. When faced with such issues, it is crucial for owners to respond promptly by contacting the Tesla service department for an inspection. Early detection of problems with the steering system can prevent more significant issues down the road.
If necessary, the Tesla service department should replace steering racks to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its occupants. These cases have caught the attention of auto safety regulators like the NHTSA, who are closely monitoring the situation to determine the extent of the problem and any potential safety risks.

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is a sample preparation methodology that involves separating compounds from within solid samples by suspending them in a liquid mixture and promoting agitation. This process allows researchers to isolate desirable analytes from the broader sample matrix. Various application specific SPE methods exist, but the QuEChERS method is the preferred laboratory mixing technique for maximum extraction yields of environmental contaminants from organic samples. Laboratory products that operate on the QuEChERS method are designed to be quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe.
This article will explore the principles of the QuEChERS method in more detail:
What is the QuEChERS Method?
The QuEChERS method of laboratory mixing involves agitating a sample through vigorous mechanical shaking. When the resultant sample is a homogenous consistency, compounds can be partitioned by suspending samples in a specialized solvent or preparation reagent and subjecting them to centrifugal separation. Once an analyte has been effectively separated, it can be analyzed using mass spectrometry equipment.
What is the QuEChERS Method Used For?
Laboratory mixing instruments that operate on the QuEChERS method are accepted for the precise assessment of agrochemical residuals in consumable organic products. The prevalence and comprehensive dispersion of pesticides through sensitive ecological systems remains an intensive area of research. Analysts use multiple evaluation methods to determine the volume and concentration of agrochemicals in the human food chain.
It is possible to assess the concentration of pesticides and environmental contaminants in animal proteins for example, by homogenizing biological samples with solvents through pre-defined mechanical pulses or sustained agitation. Rugged laboratory mixing instruments for the first stage of the QuEChERS method included vortexers, vibration shakers, and probe blenders. Limited mixing periods with this equipment can provide accurate volumetric insights into the presence of pesticides, agrochemicals, and other contaminants in raw food goods.
Vortex shakers are capable of achieving excellent degrees of contaminant extraction from homogenized tissues of fish such as croaker and salmon in just 10 minutes, while vibration laboratory mixing instrumentation could achieve 100% extraction in extended mixing times of up to an hour.
This methodology has been used to ascertain levels of concentrated pesticides and agrochemicals in the food chain, enabling environmental researchers to accurately characterize agrochemical migration and dispersion properties.
Laboratory Products for Environmental Monitoring from Glas-Col
At Glas-Col, we are committed to supplying a robust range of laboratory instrumentation for broad range of research and development applications. Our custom mixers have been routinely applied for environmental research applications using the QuEChERS method of laboratory mixing.
Our Digital Pulse Mixer (DPM) is a precision instrument with a robust orbiting speed up to 1500 rpm. It is equipped to perform QuEChERS laboratory mixing with capacity of 50 samples and displaying metrics relating to: speed, pulse rate, duty cycle and time. Our LC series has the same capacity as the DPM only with less features.
If you would like any more information about laboratory mixing products that are QuEChERS-enabled, please do not hesitate to contact us.

What is the shelf life of eye drops? _Industry information_
by：Eugenia 2022-03-31
Many people with eye discomfort do not have a clear concept about the shelf life of eye drops. Although some eye drops have been placed for a long time, they have not been used up. Once the eye is unwell, many patients continue to use this Eye drops, but in fact, the eye drops have been stored for too long and are not suitable for use. The expired eye drops not only can not relieve eye discomfort, but also have a long-term toxic effect on the eyes. What is the shelf life of eye drops? Let's take a look at how long the shelf life of eye drops is. Generally speaking, the shelf life of eye drops is about one to two years if they are stored reasonably and if they are not opened. Due to the different components of the eye drops, some eye drops have a shelf life of several There are monthly ones, even less than three months old. Therefore, when using it, be sure to understand the shelf life of the eye drops. Although the shelf life of eye drops is two years, don't think that they can be kept for so long after opening. After the eye drops are opened, they will be exposed to air for a long time. Even if they are not used up, they should be used one or two. Throw it away after a month. Some eye drops have a short shelf life, and the shelf life is only more than ten days. So, do not use it beyond the expiration date. This is because the expired eye drops are likely to contain bacteria, common Pseudomonas aeruginosa and golden yellow grapes. Cocci are very easy to cause eye infections. If the eye drops are still within the shelf life, but they are already cloudy, it is better not to use them. Generally, if such turbidity occurs, the eye drops have changed and are not suitable for use. Generally, eye drops contain a certain preservative, and the bacteriostatic agent itself will also have an effect on the eye tissue cells, so after opening, it is generally recommended to throw it away after using it within one month, otherwise it will take a long time and will not be good for the eyes .

Accessible Playgroups Initiative
Playgroup Queensland's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Playgroup Resource Unit is available to provide support and assistance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to establish community and supported Playgroups.
Assistance can include training for workers, support for families, resources and activities, and on site mentoring for workers. Workers are based in Cairns and Brisbane. Information and telephone support are also provided to Indigenous community playgroups throughout Queensland and visits can be undertaken.
As an early intervention strategy, Indigenous Playgroups provide an opportunity for family focused early intervention, using the Playgroup as a means of family support.
Family support empowers the families by assisting them to identify and develop their own strengths and resources.
The children develop a positive sense of identity through knowledge and understanding of their family and culture. Attendance at Playgroup sessions provides the parents and carers with an environment where pride in family and cultural identity can be fostered.
Strengths of an Indigenous Playgroup can be seen as:
- A model that fits well with Indigenous family ideas, that is family looks after children and family members can attend the Playgroup with the children.
- Providing an opportunity for Playgroup coordinators to model positive and appropriate parenting skills to the families.
- Providing opportunities for families to access local family support workers in a non-threatening environment.
- Providing an opportunity for children's developmental needs to be informally assessed.
- Working in partnership with local Indigenous agencies, government departments and other early childhood services to establish and support Indigenous Playgroups.
Over three years there will be 45 Indigenous Playgroups operating throughout Queensland, from suburban Brisbane to Cape York.

Games – Pass the Clap
By Randall | Games for Workshop
25 Dec 2011
Everyone stands in a circle. One person starts by making eye contact with the person next to them, and then both of them clap at the same time. The second person then turns to the next person, and they clap together. The "clap" is passed in this way around the circle until a pair does not clap in sync. The direction of the clap can also reverse, if the receiver does not turn and claps with the sender again. The receiver is in control of whether the clap will continue in its current direction, or switch, and they should use their body to indicate this to both of their neighbors.
Naturally, a rhythm develops, and the group will tend to clap with the rhythm, which is good, but you should never forsake your partner for the sake of the rhythm. If you see in their eyes or hands that they are not ready, slow down so you can clap together. However, once the group breaks the rhythm, they should all try to refocus and get back to it.
Variation 1: Pass the bear/chicken
Played on top of Pass the Clap. Instead of clapping, take a bear stance (with arms outstretched above your head into ferocious claws) and roar with your partner. Or fold your arms and flap them like a chicken while clucking like one. Once the clap is moving at a good, steady pace, someone can initiate the bear, and then the chicken. Since both of these movements are more involved than clapping, the bear and the chicken will move around the circle more slowly. That's ok! The result will be: receive bear, pass bear, receive chicken, pass chicken, receive clap, pass clap, catch breath for a second and prepare to receive bear again. It will feel very harried as you are constantly doing something, which is good training for the mental gymnastics your brain has to do if you are really working and paying attention in an improv scene. Do not try to switch direction, or a bear will end up eating a chicken.
Variation 2: Pass the RAP
Played the same way as Pass the Clap, but in addition to clapping at the same time, each pair of people also chooses a "rap" word (like "YAY-ah", "Bitches","Money","Gat","Bling", etc.). The first time around the circle, have the initiator clap and say the word, then have both people in the pairing clap and say the word together. Definitely include some direction switches; repetition makes this game even more fun than it already is.
Purpose: This games helps us communicate very quickly and watch for non-verbal clues, while also reinforcing group focus. The variations give us an opportunity to do stop worrying about looking stupid and just have fun with the group.

Fort Craig was one of the largest forts constructed in the west, and was critical to both the Indian Campains and the
Civil War.Established in 1854, the primary function of the fort was to control Apache and Navajo raiding, and to protect the
central portion of the Camino Real, a trail which stretched from northern Mexico to San Juan Pueblo, 30 miles north of Santa
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Fort Craig remained a Union Army Post, manned by regular army troops.In 1862, after
capuring several military installations in southern New Mexico, Confederate troops under the command of General Henery Hopkins
Sibley marched up the Rio Grande to Fort Craig.The battle for Fort Craig happend on Febuary 21,1862, Sibley's troops fought Union Troops led by Colonel R.S.
Canby.The battle of Valverde took place upstream from Fort Craig at Valverde Crossing.General Sibley had won
a Confederate victory, although Union troops succeeded in holding the Fort and detroying half of the confederate supply wagons.What
remained of the Confederate supplies were lost at the battle of Glorieta, east of Santa Fe on March 28,1862, forcing the Confederates
to retreat back to Texas.


WHERE DID THE NAME CYGNUS COME FROM?
June 22, 2016
The Cygnus wireless alarm and evacuation system has been named after the constellation Cygnus called Cygnus A which was discovered in 1951 and is one of the strongest radio sources in the sky.
This galaxy was found to be 500 million light years away and was a fantastic discovery. It showed that the process that causes the radio waves to be given off must be colossally powerful, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to detect them from so far away. In fact the radiation from Cygnus A is about a million times as powerful as that discovered from the milky way by Karl Jansky in 1933. Galaxies which are strong sources of radio waves are called radio galaxies and many have been found since the discovery of Cygnus A.
The Cygnus constellation form a swan shape. Cygnus is the Latin word for the swan family.
Cygnus
The name and logo are symbols of:
 - Excellence (stars are a symbols of achievements)
 - Signal strength/Signal distance (the radio waves which reach us from Cygnus have travelled 500 million light years!)
 - Reliability/longevity. (Radio waves have been pulsing from Cygnus since before time).

What is SAP PI?
SAP PI (Process Integration) is an undertaking joining stage that gives consistent mix among SAP and non-SAP applications inside the association A2A (Application to Application) or even external the association B2B (Business to Business). It permits associations to trade data between inner programming projects inside the organization and outer frameworks outside the organization.The SAP PI full structure is Process Integration.
What is SAP PO?
SAP PO (Process Orchestration) is an instrument for mechanization and streamlining of business processes. It consolidates elements of SAP Business Process Management (BPM), SAP Process Integration (PI), and SAP Business Rules Management (BRM). As such, SAP Process Orchestration is a further developed rendition of SAP PI and has every one of the instruments expected to incorporate applications. The SAP PO full structure is Process Orchestration. Figuring out SAP PI/PO with an Example However, this was a specialized part of SAP PI, yet to comprehend this better we will see the case of execution of SAP Process Integration.
To comprehend the idea of SAP PI all the more plainly, we take an illustration of an enormous scope Dairy Industry, which is working in a huge part of a state and ruling the locale. Be that as it may, there is some limited scale dairy businesses working in a similar district, lined up with the enormous scope industry which isn't creating a gain because of their cost variety contrast with huge scope industry. So to keep away from the valuing struggle and keeping up with a similar value all around the district, enormous scope and limited scope industry choose to connect together, with the assistance of SAP PI. They interconnect with one another with the assistance of SAP PI and began to function as a solitary unit. Presently, through SAP PI they can trade all the data relating to dairy industry, including estimating and share an equivalent measure of benefit.

Why SAP PI/PO?
Before SAP PI, business would associate with one another through highlight point correspondence. In any case, this cycle isn't utilized for various and complex cycles. For smooth correspondence between different organizations, Mediated correspondence or Integration merchant is utilized, and SAP PI adjusts this framework well overall. It empowers interconnection of an alternate interaction by means of a focal area known as Integration Broker, dissimilar forthright to point association which is more similar to a cobweb. The coordination specialist or server is a fundamental piece of interceded correspondence comprise of Java based Advanced Adapter Engine (AAE) and a reconciliation motor for directing. Interceded correspondence depends on a coordination merchant which is executed by trading XML messages.
Significance of SAP PI/PO
SAP PI PO Overview
Let perceive how SAP PI handles the XML messages by the assistance of Integration Broker. The trading of information or message in SAP PI happens in this four stages.
Message Transformation: During message trade, it changes the construction of the business information
Message Routing: Forwarding a message sent by a shipper framework to at least one recipient frameworks
Network Adapters: Connecting the coordination representative and recipient framework, the connector will change the approaching message into an inbound message and later believer it to the configuration of the getting framework at the opposite end
Joining Processes: Cross part Business Process Management (ccBPM) comprises of capabilities for upgraded administration organization.
Next in this SAP PI instructional exercise, we will figure out How SAP PI/PO works.
How SAP PI/PO works
SAP PI carries out three essential roles
Interface: SAP PI has a capacity to incorporate with all application whether or not it is an application from an outsider or from the SAP. It utilizes the connector system to coordinate outsider arrangements. Co-ordinate: It can characterize a way/work process for every deal that is incorporated. It guarantees that each message is accurately conveyed from the source to the objective Convey: It can make an interpretation of documents into any configuration whether an inside record design or any business to business combination standard.Next in this SAP PO instructional exercise, we will find out about SAP PI PO design. SAP PI is certainly not a solitary part liable for the reconciliation of SAP and Non-SAP application, yet a bunch of parts together make SAP PI useful.

Modern communication engineerings, such as elliptic curve cryptographies, often requires algebra on finite extension field defined by modulus arithmetic with an irreducible polynomial. This paper provides a new method to detemine the minimal (irreducible) polynomial of a given proper element in finite extension field. In the conventional determination method, as we have to solve the simultaneous equations, the computation is very involved. In this paper, the well known "trace" is extended to higher degree traces. Using the new traces, we yield the coefficient formula of the desired minimal polynomial. The new method becomes very simple without solving the simultaneous equations, and about twice faster than the conventional method in computation speed.

How Sierra Nevada does it:
FuelCell Energy has upgraded its 1 megawatt Direct Fuel Cell (DFC) power plant at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. to use fuel created from a waste byproduct of the brewing process.
The brewery's fuel cell power plant had been running on natural gas. Now, in an effort to increase efficiency and be more environmentally friendly, it runs on the brewery by-product methane.
Manufacturing.net reports that 20-40% reduction in fuel costs for the plant is possible by the 250 to 400 kilowatts of electricity that it can produce via biogas.

The Reproductive Cycle of Whiptail Lizards
Whiptail lizards live throughout the western United States, with numerous species concentrated in the Sonoran Desert and some, such as the western whiptail, ranging as far north as Idaho and Oregon. These lizards prefer dry climates and seek out habitats with sparse vegetation, such as desert grass, pine, sagebrush, scrub and oak. Depending on the species, they reproduce asexually, sexually or even both.
Overview
Most whiptail lizards' bodies measure from 3 to 5 inches, not counting the tail. Depending on the species, they can be brown, tan, red, black, olive or gray, and their backs usually feature lighter spots or stripes. Their diet includes insects such as beetles, crickets, grasshoppers and termites, although they also sometimes eat spiders and scorpions. Whiptail lizards are most active on summer mornings and late afternoons, and their reproductive cycle usually takes place between April and August.
Parthenogenesis
Several species, such as the Sonoran spotted and desert grassland whiptails, consist of females only. They reproduce through an asexual process called parthenogenesis, which begins with a simulated mating ritual in which the females bite and mount each other. Scientists believe this behavior causes them to produce and lay unfertilized eggs. The young that hatch are genetic clones of their mothers. Females of a few parthenogenetic species, such as checkered and New Mexico whiptails, occasionally breed with males of other whiptail species.
Sexual Reproduction
Most whiptails are not parthenogenetic; instead, reproduction occurs after males and females mate. As in the female-only courting ritual, the males mount and bite their partners. They use their hemipenes—a pair of reproductive organs at the tail's base—to fertilize the eggs. After mating, females can hold on to the sperm for future use.
Eggs
Whether they reproduce sexually or asexually, female whiptail lizards bury their egg clutches. In the warm desert regions of southern California, Arizona and New Mexico, they can lay two or three clutches during a summer. In the northern parts of their range, such as Colorado and Idaho, they lay only one. Clutches average about three eggs, although depending on the species, the female could lay four, five, six or more at a time. Juveniles usually hatch during July or August, after two to two and a half months of incubation. The lizards become sexually mature when they're 1 or 2 years old.
