The NeoTech Aqua ReFleX™ water purification chambers are the most efficient and compact units available today. They require an order of magnitude less energy and less than 25% of the system volume to achieve the same or better purification result as competing chambers. This is the first in a series of three white papers explaining the benefits of these systems. This paper explains in detail the theory behind the operation of these chambers, including some computational examples of performance. The second paper presents both in-house and third party data demonstrating that performance in full scale systems as well as describing the protocols under which those data were taken. The final white paper presents an analysis of those results which show that the unique optical nature of the ReFleX™ chamber leads to the capability to measure the dose delivered to a target contained within the chamber simply by measuring the intensity of the ultraviolet light at a single point on the chamber wall and the water flow through the chamber.

Capital allowances is a tax relief that allows businesses to offset the cost of certain expenditure against its taxable profits. It has been eroded by previous governments offering little scope for residential investors.
But the boom in domestic holidays in 2020 predicted to continue into 2021 has seen a renewed interest in furnished holiday lets. Property investors, and sometimes their advisers, often wrongly assume capital allowances are not available in respect of such properties due to them often being managed much like normal residential dwellings.
The capital allowances regime has the potential to offer investors in holiday lets considerable tax savings but certain criteria must be met to qualify.
Firstly, a property must qualify as a furnished holiday let. This means that it must be furnished for occupation, and meet the following three qualifying tests during a 12-month period or a tax year:
- The availability condition (availability test/threshold) – during the tax year the accommodation was available for commercial letting as holiday accommodation to the public for at least 210 days.
- The letting condition (occupancy test/threshold) – during the tax year the accommodation was commercially let as holiday accommodation to the public for at least 105 days.
- The pattern of occupation condition – the accommodation was not let for periods of longer-term occupation for more than 155 days during the year. Longer term occupation is letting that exceeds 31 days.

Implementing a Simple LRU Cache in JavaScript
In your travels as a software engineer, you're likely to come across instances where every possible data structure gets a chance to shine. One in particular doesn't get quite as much spotlight as the others, but can be just as useful (if not more so) in certain situations. That data structure in question is the LRU Cache.
What is an LRU Cache?
An LRU Cache, or Least Recently Used Cache, is a data structure that stores information in the order that it has most recently been added or accessed.
A popular analogy is a clothes rack in a closet: as clothes are worn and hung back up, they go on the right side of the rack. As time goes on, one can easily tell which clothes haven't been worn in a longer period of time by looking at the left side of the rack.
Why would I want to use one?
The main advantage of using an LRU Cache versus other data structures to store information comes in the form of added functionality.
A Cache in computer science terms can be thought of as a block of recently used data stored in a quickly accessible location in memory, resulting in faster performance when that same data is repeatedly pulled up.
If we consider an LRU Cache, it could be useful in an application that has users searching through a database for information. Normally every time a user looks something up, the app would ping its database with a request, taking precious time to do so. If, however, we store the most recently (or most commonly) searched-for items in an LRU cache, we can quickly check to see if the searched-for item exists in the cache, and if so we can retrieve it in significantly less time! Super useful.
Sounds great, how do we build one?
I'm glad you asked! Traditionally LRU Caches are built by combining a Hash Map with a Doubly Linked List, in order to maintain fast lookup of items and retrieval of most-recently-used and least-recently-used items in constant O(1) time.
However, if quickly implementing an LRU Cache from scratch in a small scale project is of interest to you, then one can be built out simply using nothing more than a JavaScript Class and a Map() object, at a cost to retrieval runtime.
The Least/Most Recently Used functionality will remain the same, which in practice is the key aspect of the data structure. If you're interested in learning how to create this version of an LRU Cache, then read on!
1. Establish the Class and Constructor
We'll be building out our LRU Cache using a JavaScript ES6 class, like so:
class LRUCache {
}
Within this class, we'll set a constructor so that every instance of an LRU Cache maintains the same structure. Our cache will take in a capacity as an argument, which will set the maximum size that our cache can grow to before we remove the least recently used item from its storage in order to save space and keep the structure organized.
We'll use this constructor to also establish the cache itself, using a JavaScript Map object:
class LRUCache {
 constructor(capacity) {
 this.cache = new Map();
 this.capacity = capacity;
 }
}
The reason we're using a Map object here is that JavaScript Maps maintain the order in which keys and values have been inserted. This does most of the work for us!
2. Build out the Get and Put methods of the Cache
Now, we're going to implement our two vital functions within the class: Get and Put, which will retrieve a value and insert a key/value pair into the cache respectively.
Let's start with Get:
class LRUCache {
 constructor(capacity) {
 this.cache = new Map();
 this.capacity = capacity;
 }
 // Implementing Get method
 get(key) {
 if (!this.cache.has(key)) return undefined;
 let val = this.cache.get(key);
 this.cache.delete(key);
 this.cache.set(key, val);
 return val;
 }
}
Let's break down what we just did above.
 1. We check to see if the key exists in our Map. If it doesn't, we return "undefined" (this could be any return value that represents a failed retrieval, such as -1 or an error message.)
 2. Next we declare a variable "val", get the value associated with that key, and assign it to the variable.
 3. We delete that key/value pair from our cache, and then set it again. Since our map keeps the order in which we insert things, this puts our retrieved key/value pair back at the front (most recently used) spot.
 4. We return the value for use in our program wherever this method was called.
And that's all there is to the Get method!
Now, we'll implement our Put method:
class LRUCache {
 constructor(capacity) {
 this.cache = new Map();
 this.capacity = capacity;
 }
 get(key) {
 if (!this.cache.has(key)) return -1;
 let val = this.cache.get(key);
 this.cache.delete(key);
 this.cache.set(key, val);
 return val;
 }
 // Implementing Put method
 put(key, value) {
 this.cache.delete(key);
 if (this.cache.size === this.capacity) {
 this.cache.delete(this.cache.keys().next().value);
 this.cache.set(key, value);
 } else {
 this.cache.set(key, value);
 }
 }
}
Let's break it down into steps:
 1. The first line checks if the key already exists in the Map and deletes it if so; calling .delete() either deletes the key/value pair if it exists OR returns undefined and continues if it doesn't.
 2. If our cache is currently at its maximum capacity ( cache.size === this.capacity ), we delete our least recently used key/value pair by using this.cache.keys().next().value to get the first key of the Map using an iterator object and passing it as an argument to this.cache.delete() . We then set a new key/value pair in the cache using the arguments passed into the Put method.
 3. If we're not currently at maximum capacity, we simply add the new key/value pair as normal.
And there's our Set method!
3. Implement getLeastRecent and getMostRecent methods
At this point we've created the fundamental functionality of an LRU Cache, but there's one step to go in order to have a complete data structure. We might want to retrieve the Least Recently Used (LRU) or Most Recently Used (MRU) values!
In order to do so, we're going to convert our Map into an array, then retrieve the first (LRU) and last (MRU) values of the array respectively:
class LRUCache {
 constructor(capacity) {
 this.cache = new Map();
 this.capacity = capacity;
 }
 get(key) {
 if (!this.cache.has(key)) return -1;
 let val = this.cache.get(key);
 this.cache.delete(key);
 this.cache.set(key, val);
 return val;
 }
 put(key, value) {
 this.cache.delete(key);
 if (this.cache.size === this.capacity) {
 this.cache.delete(this.cache.keys().next().value);
 this.cache.set(key, value);
 } else {
 this.cache.set(key, value);
 }
 }
 // Implement LRU/MRU retrieval methods
 getLeastRecent() {
 return Array.from(this.cache)[0];
 }
 getMostRecent() {
 return Array.from(this.cache)[this.cache.size - 1];
 }
}
And there we go! If you wanted to, you could use this same Array-from-Map concept to find second-least-recently-used, third-most-recently-used, etc.
That's our LRU Cache!
If you've read this far, thanks so much for taking the time to check out my post!
I hope it's been helpful to those of you trying to learn and understand data structures, or those of you trying to implement them in JavaScript. 😄

when get a key and it is not there, I would return undefined or an error. -1 could also be the value. It reminds me to the time when we needed if (array.indexOf(needle)===-1)；{...} and today we have array.includes.
It is very interesting how you are using the iterator from cache.keys().
also, it would be interesting to add a time-to-life, but that can be a good homework 😊

Mechanical engineering is not more involved in robotics since Mechatronics and robotics found a vast application in implementing the concept of running a robot model using servo motors and drives, since large amount of energy is required to run the robot model. The other thing is, it requires more power and initial cost is much higher and implementation of the concept is more difficult as compared to that of the other concepts in mechanical. In order to overcome this, here we are designing the six legged walking robot based on kinematic mechanisms without any controllers. Kinematic robot is the application of Kinematics & Robotics with Chain drive system. The walking system of kinematic robot can be controlled using the chain drive system. With simple mechanisms and a small electric motor, the Kinematic robot can be executed.

The High Resolution Ensemble Forecast (HREF) model found in the EZImagery is extremely useful when you are proposing a VFR or IFR flight. It provides a number of forecasts for ceilings including the probability that the ceiling will be below 3,000 feet such as shown below.
The HREF describes an "ensemble of opportunity," meaning that several independently-designed, deterministic convection-allowing models (CAMs) are collected and post-processed as an ensemble. When thinking about an ensemble, imagine an ensemble of instruments used in an orchestra. An analogy to a global numerical weather prediction ensemble would be processing models like NCEP's GFS and ECMWF's global model together as an ensemble. That's an ensemble of two members. Many ensembles have many models. At the Storm Prediction Center (SPC), they currently process HREFv2.1, which contains 10 ensemble members. The members are diverse with respect to dynamical core, physics parameterizations, and initial/boundary conditions so that you get a more diverse result. The figure and table below illustrate HREFv2.1's membership design.
To access the HREF model runs for ceiling in the EZImagery, select the HREF Model collection and then you will see the options for ceiling that include CIG below 3K ft, CIG below 2K ft and CIG below 1K ft as shown below. You can also view these for various regions.
Each of these options provides a forecast that is based on probability from the ensemble mean. The legend is on the left of the diagram with red/orange colors implying the high probability that the ceiling will be below the specific threshold (e.g., 3,000 feet AGL). Colors such as blue, green and white indicate that there's a low probability of ceilings being below the threshold. It's important to understand that it does not provide absolute ceiling information (e.g., 300 feet). Instead, it provides the confidence that the ceilings will be below the threshold for the forecast.
In the forecast above, notice that there is plenty of red depicted over southern Ontario, Canada as well as Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. This means there's a near certainty at the valid time of the forecast (10Z) for the ceiling to be below 3,000 feet in these areas. So this means that the ceiling will likely be MVFR, IFR or possibly LIFR in these regions making VFR flight difficult.
On the other hand, the forecast above is the probability of ceilings below 1,000 feet implying IFR or low IFR conditions. So pilots flying to Georgia arriving at 13Z should expect to do an instrument approach given there's a high confidence that the ceiling will be below 1,000 feet.

Placeholders in the configuration of the data sources
The JSON files used to configure the data sources contain several placeholders initialized from the configuration above ($contact_to_notify$), but also additional placeholders specific to the data sources. These placeholders can be configured inside the <json_placeholders> tag in the parameters file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <parameters>
 ...
 <contact_to_notify>_EMAIL_</contact_to_notify>
 <synchro_user>cron-user</synchro_user>
 <json_placeholders type="hash">
 <prefix>vSphere</prefix>
 <full_load_interval>60</full_load_interval>
 </json_placeholders>
 ...
 </parameters>
Parameter Meaning Default value
synchro_user If the user account used for running this synchronization is not an Administrator, then its login must be specified here, since iTop allows only the administrators and the specified user to run the synchronization.
contact_to_notify The email address of an existing contact in iTop, to be notified of the results of the synchronization
full_load_interval The delay (expressed in seconds) between two complete imports of the data. The objects which have not been detected by the collector during a timespan longer than this interval will be considered as obsolete and marked as such in iTop. Adjust this value depending on the scheduling recurrence. 604800
prefix The prefix for the name of all Synchronization Data Sources in iTop. If you run several instances of the collector (to collect information from several vSphere servers), change this value so that each data source has a unique name vSphere
More details on the purpose and usage of prefix
Brands, Models, OS Family and OS Version normalization
The values collected for Brands, Models and OS Family may be very variable because they came from non homogeneous sources (BIOS, operating system…). The data collector contains a simple mechanism to filter / normalize the values via a manual tuning, before importing them into iTop: a simple mapping table.
Creating the Mapping Table is an iterative process, since the table must be adapted when the collector encounters new values (new machine with a different BIOS, new operating system…)
Mapping tables are defined and maintained in the configuration file params.local.xml (you can copy an example definition from params.distrib.xml and ajust it at your will). brand_mapping is used for filtering the Brand values, model_mapping is used for Models, os_family_mapping is used for OS Families and os_version_mapping is used for OS Versions.
A mapping table is simply an ordered list of patterns and replacement strings. For each entry in the list, if the supplied value matches the pattern, it is replaced by the replacement string. The patterns are processed from the first one (top of the list) to the last one (bottom of the list). The processing stops after the first successful match.
The format of each entry in the mapping table is:
<pattern>/regular_expression/replacement_string</pattern>
Where:
 - regular_expression is a PCRE regular expression to be matched against the input value,
 - replacement_string is the resulting value if the input value matches the regular expression.
 - Note: any character can be use as a delimiter around the regular expression, not only /. But the delimiter character can be present neither in the expression itself nor in the replacement string or the result will be undetermined.
The replacement string is the literal value to use, with the exception of placeholders in the form %1$s, %2$s… The placeholder %1$s corresponds to the part of the input string that matches the whole regular expression. Placeholders %2$s, %3$s corresponds to matching groups (i.e. parentheses) in the regular expression.
Example of a mapping table for the brands:
 <brand_mapping type="array">
 <!-- Syntax /pattern/replacement where:
 any delimiter can be used (not only /)
 but the delimiter cannot be present in the "replacement" string
 pattern is a RegExpr pattern
 replacement is a sprintf string in which:
 %1$s will be replaced by the whole matched text,
 %2$s will be replaced by the first matched group, if any group is defined in the RegExpr
 %3$s will be replaced by the second matched group, etc...
 -->
 <pattern>/IBM/IBM</pattern>
 <pattern>/Hewlett Packard/Hewlett-Packard</pattern>
 <pattern>/Hewlett-Packard/Hewlett-Packard</pattern>
 <pattern>/Dell/Dell</pattern>
 <pattern>/.*/%1$s</pattern>
 </brand_mapping>
The result of such a mapping table will be:
 - Any brand containing the letters IBM (case sensitive) will become exactly IBM
 - Any brand containing Hewlett Packard (case sensitive) will become exactly Hewlett-Packard (notice the added dash between Hewlett and Packard)
 - Any brand containing Hewlett-Packard (case sensitive) will become exactly Hewlett-Packard
 - Any brand containing the letters Dell (case sensitive) will become exactly Dell
Make sure that you keep the last

Noninvasive monitoring of tissue-engineered constructs is of critical importance for accurate characterization of constructs and their remodeling in vitro and in vivo. This study investigated the utility of 1H NMR spectroscopy to noninvasively quantify viable cell number in tissue-engineered substitutes in vitro. Agarose disk-shaped constructs containing βTC3 cells were employed as the model tissue-engineered system. Two construct prototypes containing different initial cell numbers were monitored by localized, water-suppressed 1H NMR spectroscopy over the course of 13 days. 1H NMR measurements of the total choline resonance at 3.2 ppm were compared with results from the traditional cell viability assay MTT and with insulin secretion rates. Results show a strong linear correlation between total choline and MTT (R2 = 0.86), and between total choline and insulin secretion rate (R2 = 0.90). Overall, this study found noninvasive measurement of total choline to be an accurate and nondestructive assay for monitoring viable βTC3 cell numbers in tissue-engineered constructs. The applicability of this method to in vivo monitoring is also discussed.

Direct molecule-specific glucose detection by Raman spectroscopy based on photonic crystal fiber
- 967 Downloads
This paper reports the first step toward the development of a glucose biosensor based on Raman spectroscopy and a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) probe. Historically, it has been very challenging to detect glucose directly by Raman spectroscopy due to its inherently small Raman scattering cross-section. In this work, we report the first quantitative glucose Raman detection in the physiological concentration range (0–25 mM) with a low laser power (2 mW), a short integration time (30 s), and an extremely small sampling volume (∼50 nL) using the highly sensitive liquid-filled PCF probe. As a proof of concept, we also demonstrate the molecular specificity of this technique in the presence of a competing sugar, such as fructose. High sensitivity, flexibility, reproducibility, low cost, small sampling volume, and in situ remote sensing capability make PCF a very powerful platform for potential glucose detection based on Raman spectroscopy.

Introduction to grayscale calibration and related aspects of medical imaging grade liquid crystal displays.
Consistent presentation of digital radiographic images at all locations within a medical center can help ensure a high level of patient care. Currently, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are the electronic display technology of choice for viewing medical images. As the inherent luminance (and thereby perceived contrast) properties of different LCDs can vary substantially, calibration of the luminance response of these displays is required to ensure that observer perception of an image is consistent on all displays. The digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) grayscale standard display function (GSDF) defines the luminance response of a display such that an observer's perception of image contrast is consistent throughout the pixel value range of a displayed image. The main purpose of this work is to review the theoretical and practical aspects of calibration of LCDs to the GSDF. Included herein is a review of LCD technology, principles of calibration, and other practical aspects related to calibration and observer perception of images presented on LCDs. Both grayscale and color displays are considered, and the influence of ambient light on calibration and perception is discussed.

ERMS Implementation Project
A small team from Discovery & Delivery provided technical guidance and project management in the implementation of an electronic resource management system (ERMS) for CDL Shared Licensing and Acquisitions. The CDL ERMS uses Serials Solutions' 360 Resource Manager. A CDL implementation team led the effort from November 2008 to December 2009.
Implementation highlights included:
- Performed a risk assessment, which enabled the team to identify potential problems and to develop a shared understanding of project challenges.
- Saved time by convening expert subgroups to focus on specific problem areas such as loading & syncing data from multiple systems, and advising on workflow efficiencies moving forward.
- Co-developed a report to sync holdings between two systems to greatly reduce manually updating data in both systems.
- Developed robust workflows and defined clear ownership of tasks, which resolved ambiguities and made it easier to identify efficiencies moving forward.


Create Supertransition Objects
The Stateflow® API does not currently support the direct creation of supertransitions. Supertransitions are transitions between different levels in a chart. A supertransition can be between a state in a top-level chart and a state in one of its substates, or between states residing in different substates. For a better understanding of supertransitions, see Move Between Levels of Hierarchy by Using Supertransitions.
You can use a workaround for indirectly creating supertransitions. In this example, a supertransition is desired from a junction inside a subchart to a junction outside the subchart. In order to use the Stateflow API to create the supertransition in this example, first use the API to create the superstate as an ordinary state with a transition between its contained junction and a junction outside it.
Now set the IsSubchart property of the state A to true (=1).
This step makes state A a subchart, and the transition between the junctions is now a supertransition.
You can also connect supertransitions to and from objects in an existing subchart (state A, for example) with these steps:
 1. Save the original position of subchart A to a temporary workspace variable.
 For example, if the subchart A has the API handle sA, store its position with this command:
 sA_pos = sA.Position;

 2. Convert subchart A to a state by setting the IsSubchart property to false (=0).
 sA.IsSubchart = 0;
 3. Ungroup state A by setting the IsGrouped property to false (=0).
 sA.IsGrouped = 0;
 When you convert a subchart to a normal state, it stays grouped to hide the contents of the subchart. When you ungroup the subchart, it might resize to display its contents.
 4. Make the necessary transition connections.
 See Create New Objects in the Chart for an example of creating a transition.
 5. Set the IsSubchart property of state A back to true (=1).
 For example, sA.IsSubchart = 1;
 6. Assign subchart A its original position.
 sA.Position = sA_pos;
 When you convert a subchart to a normal state and ungroup it, it might resize to accommodate the size of its contents. The first step of this procedure stores the original position of the subchart so that this position can be restored after the transition connection is made.

Hence, let's understand our attempted definition of 'factorial' to be part of such a larger expression: 'let' 'factorial match' λ 'n. n' 'in let' 'factorial match' λ 'n. case n of 0 then 1; _ then n * factorial (n - 1) end' 'in factorial 4' This would evaluate to what '4 * factorial 3' does, but with the 'factorial' in the expression bound to the identity function λ 'n. n'. In other words, we'd get the result '12', not the correct answer '24'. For the time being, we will fix this solution by just introducing a special new construction 'letrec' that works the way we want. Now in: 'let' 'factorial match' λ 'n. n' 'in letrec' 'factorial match' λ 'n. case n of 0 then 1; _ then n * factorial (n - 1) end' 'in factorial 4' the initial binding of 'factorial' to the identity function gets ignored, and the 'factorial' in the right-hand side of our definition is interpreted to mean the very same function that we are hereby binding to 'factorial'. Exactly how this works is a deep and exciting topic, that we will be looking at very closely in a few weeks. For the time being, let's just accept that 'letrec' does what we intuitively want when defining functions recursively. **It's important to make sure you say letrec when that's what you want.** You may not *always* want 'letrec', though, if you're ever re-using variables (or doing other things) that rely on the bindings occurring in a specified order. With 'letrec', all the bindings in the construction happen simultaneously. This is why you can say, as Jim did in class: 'letrec' 'even? match' λ 'n. case n of 0 then 'true; _ then odd? (n-1) end' 'odd? match' λ 'n. case n of 0 then 'false; _ then even? (n-1) end' 'in (even?, odd?)' Here neither the 'even?' nor the 'odd?' pattern is matched before the other. They, and also the 'odd?' and the 'even?' variables in their right-hand side expressions, are all bound at once. As we said, this is deep and exciting, and it will make your head spin before we're done examining it. But let's trust 'letrec' to do its job, for now. ### Comparing recursive-style and iterative-style definitions ### Finally, we're in a position to revisit the two definitions of 'length' that Jim presented in class. Here is the first: 'letrec' 'length match' λ 'xs. case xs of [] then 0; _ & ys then 1 + length ys end' 'in length' This function accept a sequence 'xs', and if it's empty returns '0', else it says that its length is '1' plus whatever is the length of its remainder when you take away the first element. In programming circles, this remainder is commonly called the sequence's "tail" (and the first element is its "head"). Thus if we evaluated 'length [10, 20, 30]', that would give the same result as '1 + length [20, 30]', which would give the same result as '1 + (1 + length [30])', which would give the same result as '1 + (1 + (1 + length []))'. But 'length []' is '0', so our original expression evaluates to '1 + (1 + (1 + 0))', or '3'. Here's another way to define the 'length' function: 'letrec' 'aux match' λ '(n, xs). case xs of [] then n; _ & ys then aux (n + 1, ys) end' 'in' λ 'xs. aux (0, xs)' This may be a bit confusing. What we have here is a helper function 'aux' (for "auxiliary") that accepts *two* arguments, the first being a counter of how long we've counted in the sequence so far, and the second argument being how much more of the sequence we have to inspect. If the sequence we have to inspect is empty, then we're finished and we can just return our counter. (Note that we don't return '0'.) If not, then we add '1' to the counter, and proceed to inspect the tail of the sequence, ignoring the sequence's first element. After the 'in', we can't just return the 'aux' function, because it expects two arguments, whereas 'length' should just be a function of a single argument, the sequence whose length we're inquiring about. What we do instead is return a λ-generated function, that expects a single sequence argument 'xs', and then returns the result of calling 'aux' with that sequence together with an initial counter of '0'. So for example, if we evaluated 'length [10, 20, 30]', that would give the same result as 'aux (0, [10, 20, 30])', which would give the same result as 'aux (1, [20, 30])', which would give the same result as 'aux (2, [30])', which would give the same result as 'aux(3, [])', which would give '3'. (This should make it clear why when 'aux' is called with the empty sequence, it returns the result 'n' rather than '0'.) Programmers will sometimes define functions in the second style because it can be evaluated more efficiently than the first style. You don't need to worry about things like efficiency in this seminar. But you should become acquainted with, and comfortable with, both styles of recursive definition. It may be helpful to contrast these recursive-style definitons to the way one would more naturally define the 'length' function in an imperatival language. This uses some constructs we haven't explained yet, but I trust their meaning will be intuitively clear enough. 'let' 'empty? match' λ 'xs.' *this definition left as an exercise*; 'tail match' λ 'xs.' *this definition left as an exercise*; 'length match' λ 'xs. let' 'n := 0;' 'while not (empty? xs) do' 'n := n + 1;' 'xs := tail xs' 'end' 'in n' 'in length' Here there is no recursion. Rather what happens is that we *initialize* the variable 'n' with the value '0', and then so long as our sequence variable 'xs' is non-empty, we *increment* that variable 'n', and *overwrite* the variable 'xs' with the tail of the sequence that it is then bound to, and repeat in a loop (the 'while... do... end' construction). This is similar to what happens in our second definition of 'length', using 'aux', but here it happens using *mutation* or *overwriting* the values of variables, and a special looping construction, whereas in the preceding definitions we achieved the same effect instead with recursion. We will be looking closely at mutation later in the term. For the time being, our focus will instead be on the recursive and *immutable* style of doing things---meaning no variables get overwritten. It's helpful to observe that in expressions like: let x match 0; y match x + 1; x match x + 1; z match 2 * x in (y, z) the variable 'x' has not been *overwritten* (mutated). Rather, we have *two* variables 'x' and its just that the second one is *hiding* the first so long as its scope is in effect. Once its scope expires, the original variable 'x' is still in place, with its orginal binding. A different example should help clarify this. What do you think this: let x match 0; (y, z) match let x match x + 1 in (x, 2*x) in ([y, z], x) evaluates to? Well, consider the right-hand side of the second binding: let x match x + 1 in (x, 2*x) This expression evaluates to '(1, 2)', because it uses the outer binding of 'x' to '0' for the right-hand side of its own binding 'x match x + 1'. That gives us a new binding of 'x' to '1', which is in place when we evaluate '(x, 2*x)'. That's why the whole thing evaluates to '(1, 2)'. So now returning to the outer expression, 'y' gets bound to '1' and 'z' to '2'. But now what is 'x' bound to in the final line,'([y, z], x)'? The binding of 'x' to '1' was in place only until we got to '(x, 2*x)'. After that its scope expired, and the original binding of 'x' to '0

Fluid Fingers
Fluid phenomena can show up in unexpected places. The collage above shows patterns formed when an aluminum block is lifted during wet sanding, a polishing technique. The dendritic fingers are formed from oil and the slurry of sanded particles being polished away. They are an example of the Saffman-Taylor instability, which forms when less viscous fluids (oil) protrude into a more viscous one (the slurry). Each image contains a different concentration of oil, resulting in very different fingering patterns. (Image credit: D. Lopez)

Pitahaya, known as "dragon fruit", is an exotic fruit with excellent nutritional properties; however, the species from the Peruvian coast have been little studied. The objective of the present study was to determine the physicochemical and nutritional composition of two species of pitahaya Hylocereus undatus (Haw.) Britt and Rose (red pitahaya) and Hylocereus megalanthus (yellow pitahaya), cultivated in the central coast of Peru. Proximal analysis, physicochemical and mineral contents were determined by standardized methods. From the results found, the fiber content of red pitahaya (4.30 ± 0.75 g.100 g-1) and vitamin C (14.74 ± 0.53 mg.100 g-1) stand out. The macroelement with the highest proportion corresponded to potassium (215.83 ± 11.72 and 98.41 ± 5.54 mg.100 g-1, for red and yellow pitahaya, respectively). This was followed by phosphorus (28.70 ± 0.28 and 17.99 ± 1.48 mg.100 g-1, for red and yellow pitahaya, respectively) and magnesium (29.88 ± 0.53 and 16.09 ± 2.80 mg.100 g-1, for red and yellow pitahaya, respectively). Regarding the content of microelements, the contents of manganese (5.48 ± 0.1 mg.kg-1) and zinc (5.39 ± 0.25 mg.kg-1) for red pitahaya stood out; and in the case of yellow pitahaya, the highest values corresponded to iron (21.07 ± 0.18 mg.kg-1) and manganese (7.49 ± 1.12 mg.kg-1). The study concluded that red and yellow pitahaya fruits represent an important source of fiber, minerals and vitamin C and they can be used for the benefit of human health and nutrition.

As an e-commerce seller, you will need to collect sales tax in Louisiana if you have:
(1) gross revenue exceeding $100,000 during the current calendar or immediately preceding calendar year (economic nexus),
(2) Physical presence in Louisiana (physical nexus).
Below, we will highlight some of the basic provisions of Louisiana sales tax law.
What is the tax rate range for Louisiana?
State: Louisiana's general sales tax rate is 4.45%.
Local: Local jurisdictions can range from 0% to 8.5%.
Do you have physical or economic nexus in Louisiana?
Physical nexus. Certain business activities create physical nexus in Louisiana. If you have physical nexus, you are required to collect and remit sales tax on all taxable sales that are shipped to Louisiana. Physical presence includes, but is not limited to, the following activities in Louisiana, whether done permanently or temporarily, directly or indirectly, or through an agent or subsidiary:
- owning or operating retail spaces;
- owning, leasing, maintaining, occupying, or using, an office, place of distribution, sales or sample room, warehouse or storage place, or other place of business;
- having an employee, representative, agent, salesman, canvasser, or solicitor operating in Louisiana under the authority of the retailer or subsidiary; and
- storage of property in a third-party facility.
What is physical presence? (#3 in Frequently Asked Questions)
Economic nexus. Louisiana recognizes economic nexus for any vendor with $100,000 or more in gross revenue during the current calendar or immediately preceding calendar year. Once you have economic nexus established, you will be obligated to collect sales tax from buyers in the state.
- Remote sellers are required to register with the Louisiana Sales and Use Tax Commission for Remote Sellers ("Commission") no than 30 calendar days after meeting the economic nexus thresholds
- Remote sellers shall commence collection of state and local sales and use tax at actual rates and bases, once notified the Commission has approved the application, no later than 60 days after surpassing either of the criteria
- Remote sellers only use direct sales for delivery into Louisiana to calculate whether the economic nexus thresholds have been met.
- Sales made through a marketplace may be excluded because those sales determine whether the marketplace itself meets the economic nexus thresholds.
What are examples of sales of taxable items?
- Tangible personal property, unless an exemption applies
- Leases and rentals of tangible personal property
- Certain services
- Prepared food by certain establishments for on-premise consumption

Interactive paper tearing
We propose an efficient method to model paper tearing in the context of interactive modeling. The method uses geometrical information to automatically detect potential starting points of tears. We further introduce a new hybrid geometrical and physical-based method to compute the trajectory of tears while procedurally synthesizing high resolution details of the tearing path using a texture based approach. The results obtained are compared with real paper and with previous studies on the expected geometric paths of paper that tears. Keywords: paper tearing, virtual paper, developable surfaces, modelling, animation.

We developed and used the nanocarbon film electrode to successfully detect epigenetic mark 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) through direct oxidation after digesting genomic DNA (gDNA) with nuclease P1. The film showed superior key film properties including a very chemically stable structure and an ultraflat surface (Ra = 0.21 nm) that resulted in better electrode properties such as a wider potential window and lower background current than the widely used carbon electrode. Computational experiments revealed that the theoretical oxidation potential (Eox) value for 5hmC coincided with that obtained in electrochemical experiments using our nanocarbon film electrode. We successfully detected 5hmC by using this film electrode in combination with HPLC. Due to the difference of each oxidation potential, we achieved the oxidation potential-dependent selective detection of 5hmC in gDNA from excess amounts of unmethylated cytosine with a similar polarity to 5hmC.

If you've painted a ceiling, you know the annoyance of drips: an initially smooth coat of paint collects in spots that dribble onto the floor. The drips come from a gravity-driven instability in the paint, which physicists have modeled for various liquids and surface tilts. Now Ruben Tomlin of Imperial College London and colleagues have added an electric field into the mix. Their mathematical modeling and simulations show that a strong enough field could stop the drips, an effect that might be used for thin-film cooling or to make uniform coatings in precision manufacturing.
The team's starting point is a flat slab coated on its underside with a viscous dielectric liquid like oil. In 2015, researchers studied such a setup by tilting the slab and letting the liquid run, finding they could predict the tilt angles at which drips would occur. The Imperial team approaches this problem anew. They derived a set of equations for the film's surface contour that incorporate not only surface tension and gravity, as in the 2015 study, but also the effect of an electric field applied parallel to the substrate. This field introduces stresses at the film's surface, which have a stabilizing effect akin to that of surface tension.
Based on their equations, they determined that drips appear roughly when the liquid surface transitions from being "convectively" unstable (in which a disturbance in the liquid ripples away) to being "absolutely" unstable (in which the disturbance remains localized). The researchers predicted that a relatively high field strength would be needed to prevent drips for a 2.5-mm-thick film tilted to 60° degrees below horizontal. But they think lower values might suffice in other cases that are of technological interest.

text: An interconnecting technique, the "PDMS connection method", for quartz microchips in a high-pressure system is presented. The connection between quartz microchips is an essential technology for modular microfluidic devices, such as microchip-HPLC. PDMS was applied to the seal material, being spread on the seal side of the chips, and set into the metal housing. The characteristics of the PDMS connection method concerning pressure resistance and the extension of the peak were examined. The experimental results showed a good seal at 5 MPa, which seem to be sufficient for realizing microchip-HPLC utilizing a monolithic silica capillary column as a separation medium. The influence of the extra column effect on chromatographic separation was almost the same as in the case using a commercial union fitting. In addition, the PDMS connection enabled the detachability of chip-based modules with user-friendliness. Our experimental findings suggest that the novel PDMS connection method can possibly be applied as a generic technology in high-pressure microTAS.

Dampfnudel is a steam-fried dumpling eaten as a meal or desert. It is an ancient German dish. The Dampfnudel recipe has two variants. It can be made sweet or savory. The flavoring of flour can be changed to suit the taste. This dish is also known as yeast bread and may be eaten as a cake. A dumpling cake soaked in caramel can be delightfully indulging.
History of Dampfnudel
The origin of this dish can be dated back to the 16th Century, when Germany was at war for 30 years. It was a time when food was scarce in the country and a difficult situation forced a German baker to invent Dampfnudel recipe. It is believed that a hungry Swedish army arrived in a town in Palatine area of Germany. They were famished and would go on a killing spree if not given a hot meal. Johanes Muck, a baker took the plunge and decided to make something with little flour and other scarce ingredients. This is how Dampfnudel was invented.
Ingredients and Preparation Method: Yeast Bread
Dampfnudel recipe includes the following ingredients, white flour, water, yeast, salt, butter, margarine, sugar and egg. Yeast helps in making the dumplings fluffy, it adds volume and enables the dough to rise. This dough is made in the shape of balls and steamed in a closed iron pan with milk and butter. It is steam-fried until the milk and butter is reduced in quantity and the lower crust turns brown. Alternatively, it can be made savory by adding salt instead of sugar and substituting the milk with water.
Serving Style of Dampfnudel
The sweeter version of this dish is commonly served with vanilla sauce. It may also be served with caramel sauce and plum sauce. Vanilla custard jam can also be added to this dish. However, the salted version of this dish can be served with potato soup. Typically, this dish is served hot.
Health and Nutritional Value of Dampfnudel
The Dampfnudel recipe is rich in calories due to the butter content. However, the flour content of this dish makes it a healthy option.

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering
The GATE examination acts as the 'great career wall' to any aspiring, dynamic individual!
The GATE is an all India level examination, which is conducted for the admissions to the post graduate degree programs in engineering/architecture/ technology and to the doctoral programs in the relevant branches of science, falling under the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD).
The GATE test is administered and conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and the seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) under the supervision of the National Coordination BoardGATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India. The exam is also conducted for qualifying the students for other governmental scholarships /assistantships. The question pattern differs according to the paper code, i.e. it varies according to the subjects and specifications. The GATE question paper consists of multiple choice questions with an option of four answers, out of which, only one is the right answer.
The GATE plays a vital role in any student's life, if it is chosen by the student. Because, if a student gets qualified in the GATE, then he/she would be eligible for the governmental scholarships for undergoing the master degrees, and doctoral programs… These features have dragged many students towards the preparation of the examination. The most important fact is that the GATE exam bears more significance, i.e. the GATE performance would be given 70% importance in the admission process and the remaining 30% would depend on the student's academic performance records, interview performance, etc… Thus, the fact that the GATE is one of the significant exams in the professional education couldn't be denied!
The question type is typically based on the logics and concepts of the subjects, hence having an in-depth knowledge about the subjects, would fetch more marks. It analyzes the candidates', comprehension ability, subject knowledge, capability to solve quantitative questions, problem solving abilities, data interpretation skills and other related skills... Thus, it involves the questions based on formulae, basic principles, laws, etc. It also comprises of questions based on fundamental ideas, which in turn demands the students to derive the consequences from the basic theories and logics of the subjects. The logical reasoning section consists of questions involving mathematical computation and application-oriented questions, thereby requiring the students to implement their subject knowledge.
The analysis and the interpretation section consists of linked type questions and common data questions. The questions formed would be independent, but the solutions to both the questions could be obtained from the given passage, or data. The linked type comprises problem solving type of questions. The GATE 2011 question paper is said to have 5 different patterns for 5 groups of specifications and these details are clearly stated in the official website for GATE.

text: Value incongruence matters! In academic circles "value incongruence" is defined as the difference between an individual's personal value hierarchy and the perceived value hierarchy of an organisation. Put alternatively, value incongruence describes a phenomenon that an employee's values and priorities are at odds with those of their organisation and employer. What leads to value incongruence? Value incongruence can occur as early as the initial recruitment process if applicants or employers do not take the opportunity to communicate their core values – perhaps incorrectly assuming that sharing such information is unimportant as it is not directly related to the job role. It's also common for employees or employers to intentionally claim desired values to make a favourable impression. For example, a candidate may say they are deeply customer-focused when monetary rewards provide a greater motivation, or a company may boast of a deep commitment to CSR, when in reality their activities only extend as far as making donations rather than taking any personal action. Value incongruence can also be a result of organisational change, particularly if the new way of doing business deviates from values the company previously held. If employees cannot fully accept the company's new focus they are more likely to feel dissatisfied and increasingly outcast from the organisation. Why value incongruence matters? Value incongruence can result in employees developing negative attitudes towards their role, their organisation and themselves. When confronted with value incongruence, employees can expend so much energy suppressing their own values or amplifying values they do not hold in an attempt to fit in that they fall prey to fatigue and risk burnout. Employees can thus be very disengaged and decrease their productivity and performance. They are also less likely to participate in or support activities they perceive as falling beyond their job requirement, limiting their organisation's ability to innovate. Value incongruence, unsurprisingly, can thus lead to higher turnover intention, making it difficult for employers to retain staff. Who is vulnerable to value incongruence? The extent to which value incongruence brings negative consequences on employees' energy and performance depends on employees' affectivity, a stable measure of individual differences in the experience of positive or negative emotions. Recent research indicates that value incongruence is more detrimental to employees who tend to feel active, cheerful, and enthusiastic (i.e., those who are happier in general), because value incongruence induces negative emotions, exhaustion, and tension which contradict their positive affective orientation. These individuals are motivated to reduce such emotional dissonance and thus spend more time and effort on regulating their emotions, consuming energy that could otherwise have been used for performing their tasks. Accordingly, organisations should not ignore employees who seem happy but instead proactively help them when they are confronted by value incongruence. How to prevent and manage value incongruence? To prevent value incongruence, employers should first identify their core values and provide clear information in recruitment advertisements about organisational values to attract applicants with similar value orientations. Job interviews may also assess applicants' likelihood of value incongruence to help recruiters make informed selection decisions. Employers should also be aware of the differences between "espoused values" - the company's declared set of values and norms and "enacted values" – values and norms that are exhibited by employees in the organisation. Employees can still experience value incongruence when their values are different from those enacted by majority of their colleagues in the organisation, even though they were attracted by and embrace the organisation's espoused values. Employers can also take a job redesign approach to prevent value incongruence and manage its negative consequences, if changing employees' or the organisation's values is impossible. For example, employers can think of assigning employees to tasks that are less likely to induce value incongruence, or designing work schedules that provide employees with sufficient opportunities for energy recovery if value incongruence is inevitable in performing their jobs. Finally, value incongruence is not always a bad thing. Employees who possess different values could bring a different perspective that benefits organisations by enhancing decision making quality and innovation. While being aware of the negative consequence of value incongruence, it is worth considering that value incongruence also denotes value diversity, which could contribute to organisations positively.

Mallorca cathedral restores original chapel to mark 666th year
Never-finished temple has been renovated by Gaudí and Barceló
The restored 15th-century Holy Trinity altarpiece. / MONTSERRAT T. DÍEZ (EFE)
The cathedral of Palma de Mallorca, which remains under construction ("it's always collapsing," complained the statesman Jovellanos in the early 19th century), has just retouched its roots: the small chapel-and-vestry dating back to the early 1300s that was the germ for the larger building, which was itself built over the mosque of Madina Mayurqa.
Church officials called the chapel "a treasure" and "a crucial spot" where the first stones were laid for the great cathedral.
The reopening of the chapel served to mark the 666th anniversary of the "dedication" of this building in 1346. Dean Joan Bauzá joked that he hoped the triple digit would be "an omen of good luck, not of the wild beast of the Apocalypse," a reference to the fact the number 666 is associated with Satan.
For two days, visitors will be allowed to enter the small chapel, which has been returned to its original bare state and will be used for cultural events.
For the first time, the cathedral will also grant visitors access to its terraces.
In a few months, after the bells and the medieval structure that contains them are also restored, church officials hope to organize public tours of the upper portion of the cathedral, where the sky and the sea of Palma de Mallorca are framed by the pinnacles, the stained-glass windows and the giant rose window.
However, potential visitors should bear in mind that reaching the rooftop involves climbing 200 steps of one of the narrow spiral staircases inside each of the towers, where the walls still show medieval graffiti made by the refugees and fugitives who once hid out here.
The cathedral receives around a million visitors and worshippers a year, say church officials. Many people come to see the ceramic chapel recently created by artist Miquel Barceló, as well as the 1900 reforms made by Gaudí.

In today's fast-paced world, crowd control has become an integral part of managing public gatherings, events, and construction sites. There is a growing need for effective and efficient solutions that can adapt to varying requirements, and temporary fencing has emerged as an ideal choice. This article will delve into the advantages of portable crowd control and highlight why temporary fencing is the go-to solution for managing crowds.
One of the key advantages of temporary fencing is its versatility. Unlike traditional permanent fencing, temporary fencing can be easily transported and installed at any location. This makes it an ideal choice for events, such as concerts, festivals, and sports matches, where the need for crowd control arises only temporarily. Additionally, temporary fencing can be customized to meet specific needs, such as incorporating company logos or incorporating branding elements. This versatility allows event organizers to create a cohesive branding experience while ensuring the safety and security of attendees.
Furthermore, the flexibility of temporary fencing enables event organizers to cater to different crowd sizes. Temporary fencing can be easily adjusted, expanded, or contracted to accommodate varying volumes of people. Whether it's a small social gathering or a large-scale event, temporary fencing provides the necessary structure to manage the flow of attendees and maintain an organized environment.
Another advantage of temporary fencing is its quick installation and removal process. Unlike permanent fencing, which requires time-consuming and costly construction work, temporary fencing can be installed within a short period. This time efficiency is crucial for event organizers who often have tight schedules and need to set up and dismantle crowd control measures swiftly. Additionally, temporary fencing leaves no permanent damage to the site, making it an environmentally-friendly option.
One of the primary concerns of event organizers is the safety and security of attendees. Temporary fencing addresses this concern by providing a physical barrier that helps prevent unauthorized access to restricted areas. Temporary fencing can be equipped with additional features such as gates, locks, and CCTV cameras, further enhancing security measures. By effectively keeping crowds contained, temporary fencing contributes to the overall safety of attendees, minimizes potential risks, and ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience for all.
Cost-effectiveness is another significant advantage of temporary fencing. Unlike permanent fencing, which requires considerable financial investment and ongoing maintenance, temporary fencing provides a more affordable option. Event organizers can rent temporary fencing for specific durations, eliminating the need for long-term investment. Additionally, temporary fencing can be reused for multiple events, further reducing costs. This cost-effectiveness allows event organizers to allocate their budgets to other essential aspects of their events.
Temporary fencing also plays a crucial role in managing construction sites. Construction projects often require strict safety regulations to protect both workers and the public. Temporary fencing acts as a protective barrier, preventing unauthorized individuals from accessing the construction site and reducing the risk of accidents or injuries. Furthermore, temporary fencing can be customized to display warning signs and other important information, further promoting safety measures at construction sites.
In conclusion, the advantages of temporary fencing for crowd control are numerous. Its versatility, flexibility, quick installation, and removal process, enhanced safety and security features, cost-effectiveness, and application in construction site management make temporary fencing the preferred choice for event organizers and construction companies alike. As the need for crowd control continues to grow in our increasingly crowded world, it is essential to have reliable and efficient solutions in place. Temporary fencing is not only portable but also provides peace of mind, ensuring that crowds can be effectively managed, events run smoothly, and safety is prioritized at all times.

Introduction: Heart-shaped Vertical Garden
Looking for an original and cute mother's day gift? You love flowers but do not like the fact that they die very soon?
This heart-shaped vertical garden is a beautiful way of showing Mom how much you love her. The great news is that it will remain green for several months
Try some variants of this technique, what about using a base with the shape of letters, such as "M-O-M", or "L-O-V-E"... isn't it lovely?
Then let's get started!
Step 1: List of Materials
To create this vertical garden you will need:
- 1 MDF heart-shaped base
- 5 succulents
- Black soil
- Bonsai soil (akadama) or Plant food
- Galvanized poultry netting
- Paint (can be aerosol or vinylic)
- 1 pc of cellophane paper
- Pliers and scissors
Step 2: Paint the Base
Paint the base with aerosol or vinylic paint. Let it dry.
You can choose the color you like the best. I recommend grey since it is a very neutral color that matches almost any space.
Step 3: Protect Base With Cellophane Paper
Place the cellophane paper in the base. Do not worry if it is large, we will cut it later.
Step 4: Start Filling With Plant Food
Place a thin layer of plant food or akadama.
Step 5: Add a Layer of Soil
Add a layer of black soil, ensure that the food and the soil do not mix.
Step 6: Cut the Galvanized Netting
With the help of the pliers cut a piece of galvanized netting in the size and shape of the heart base.
The piece you will cut needs to match the base perfectly so that it contains the plant food and soil
Step 7: Place the Galvanized Netting Inside the Base
Ensure that it matches perfectly the base. It is OK if it curves a little, we will cover that space with moss later.
Step 8: Clean the Succulents
Clean the succulents by removing the soil from the pot.
Step 9: Place Succulents in Base
Place succulents in the base, the root of the succulent should be placed in the soil. Do not worry if the soil does not cover the root completely.
Step 10: Add Water to the Moss
The moss should feel wet enough to compress it with the hands.
Step 11: Fill With Wet Moss
Take the moss and fill the spaces between the soil and the galvanized netting. This step is crucial since the moss gives the humidity to the vertical garden and also keeps the succulents secure in the base.
Step 12: Hang and Enjoy
The last step: hang it! You can put on a lace so you can hang it. You will notice it will not fall down and will look amazing!
Yous succulents will remain alive for a long time. Bring the humidity they need by spreading water with a hand pressure sprinkler 2-3 times a week.

Date: Summer 2012
Why do engineers often use superheated steam to transfer heat?
There are several reasons:
1. It has high heat content (and heat content is tunable with pressure)
2. It is made of water, which is cheap and readily available (and other than being hot, is pretty safe stuff)
3. It is easy (and cheap) to pump (gas) compared with other heat transfer fluids
4. It readily transfers heat owing to it being a vapor (conduction and convection)
Hope this helps,
Engineers use superheated steam to transfer heat because it is the most efficient means to do so.
Some nuclear reactor designs use liquid sodium to transfer heat, but that is a much more hazardous (corrosive) and expensive process.
We can go down the list of other heat transfer mediums, but steam always comes out to be the most efficient.

I just blogged that beet seeds are actually seed pods so when you plant what you think is one beet seed you actually plant a cluster of seeds. If more than one seed germinates from the cluster, you get two or more plants with very tangled seeds. Dividing them is difficult from cell packs. It can be done. Beets are very hardy and if the weather is cool, a damaged plant can survive. A damaged plant is typically a plant with like a single strand of root.
|Beet Transplants - The Rusted Garden: Gary Pilarchik|
|Beet Root Cluster - The Rusted Garden: Gary Pilarchik|
Even the roots of beets are red. This cluster is several beets. Tear from the bottom until you reach the leave and plant cluster. Make a wish a break the best you can. You are just breaking the clump one time. Don't try and break every plant out. Even if some plant die you will have beets. You can also harvest the leaves for salads.
|Splitting Beet Transplants in Two: Gary Pilarchik|
Plant them in a hole the is deeper than the roots and back fill. Gently press the soil around the plant and water daily for several days, especially if it is sunny and in the 70's. You can see more than two plants in the picture below.
