Rendering larger resolutions with Artisan render for CMS IntelliCAD
#1
How to render realistic images using CMS IntelliCAD 8.2 and Artisan render for CMS IntelliCAD
1. The user selects the appropriate 'Aspect Ratio' from the Camera Menu and this proportion is saved for each Snapshot.
2. The user then creates a set of Snapshots of various views of the model.
3. When the Snapshot is taken, whether before or after a software render, an image is made of whatever is on the screen at that time. If you double-click on the Snapshot icon you will see the image that was created when that Snapshot was taken. The actual file for this image is in the 'Snapshots' folder alongside the model file. The file is named "real_time_<modelname><snapshotnumber>.jpg.
The resolution of this image (either software render or an openGL view) is whatever the screen happens to be but will be in the proportion chosen as the 'Aspect Ratio'. The value of this resolution is always displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the ARTISAN window.
4. Now the user wants to create (or re-create) rendered images from the saved SnapShots e.g. if a model has changed, or you now want to commit to higher resolution images. In the Snapshots section we can select a Snapshot, or set of Snapshots, choose a resolution for the 'Longest Side' and click 'Render All Snapshots'. This process will create a file for each render, saved in the Snapshot folder with each file named "photo_<modelname><snapshotnumber>".
If you now double-click on the Snapshot icon, you will see the "photo" version of the image and, if the resolution is higher than the screen, you will not be able to see the whole image.
5. The intended workflow is that the user creates these higher resolution images and either moves them to another folder or renames them in the Snapshot folder. If you do this (move or rename the "photo" image) then the double-click behaviour reverts to that when the Snapshot was taken.

DNS Security Extension Clarification on Zone Status, March 2001
- Canonical URL:
- File formats:
- PROPOSED STANDARD
- Obsoleted by:
- RFC 4033, RFC 4034, RFC 4035
- RFC 2535
- Updated by:
- RFC 3658
- E. Lewis
- dnsext (int)
Discuss this RFC: Send questions or comments to _EMAIL_
The definition of a secured zone is presented, clarifying and updating sections of RFC 2535. RFC 2535 defines a zone to be secured based on a per algorithm basis, e.g., a zone can be secured with RSA keys, and not secured with DSA keys. This document changes this to define a zone to be secured or not secured regardless of the key algorithm used (or not used). To further simplify the determination of a zone's status, "experimentally secure" status is deprecated. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
For the definition of Status, see RFC 2026.
For the definition of Stream, see RFC 4844.

Webinar: 5 Types of Referral Leakage to Measure (And What to Do About It)
Minimizing patient leakage in a health system's referral network is crucial. However, most organizations do not have the systems in place to measure leakage or determine where it is occurring. Without data, healthcare executives are left to guess about how best to ensure the integrity of their referral networks.
In this one-hour webinar, HSG will demonstrate the key types of patient leakage to identify, how best to measure the impact of that leakage, and strategies for addressing it.
During this webinar we will discuss the following concepts:
- Understanding the types of patient leakage data available
- How to analyze referral leakage data and monitor it over time
- How to diagnose organizational roadblocks to increasing referral capture
- How to build an effective strategy for engaging providers in creating a high-integrity referral network


te options: model: JobeetJob type: object method_for_criteria: doSelectActive param: { module: job.
So. you have plenty of free time and enough knowledge to implement this all by yourself! Let's make an exercise of it.Link to the Category Page Now. wait a minute. But. Check back tomorrow for our implementation. the hour is not yet over and we haven't worked that much. let's add a link to the category page on the homepage and create the category page. .
Ready? Let's talk about a possible implementation.yml category: url: /category/:slug class: sfPropelRoute param: { module: category. debugging. And it is mandatory if you removed the default routing rules. and custom configuration. The Category Route First. it is a good practice to first think about the URL and create the associated route.some HTML code -->
 <?php echo link_to($category. And we finished with a little challenge for today. A route can use any column from its related object as a parameter.Part 7 Yesterday you expanded your knowledge of symfony in a lot of different areas: querying with Propel. It can also use any other value if there is a related accessor defined in the object class. Because the slug parameter has no corresponding column in the category table. type: object } Whenever you start implementing a new feature. } The Category Link Now. edit the indexSuccess. we need to add a virtual accessor in JobeetCategory to make the route works: // lib/model/JobeetCategory. $category) ?>
 .php template of the job module to add the link to the category page: <!-. 'category'.php public function getSlug() { return Jobeet::slugify($this->getName()). I hope you worked on the Jobeet category page as today's tutorial will then be much more valuable for you. routing. action: show } options: { model: JobeetCategory. fixtures. Add it at the beginning of the routing file: # apps/frontend/config/routing. we need to add a route to define a pretty URL for the category page.

 <?php endif. } . The link contains the number of jobs not displayed. $category) ?> more. $criteria->add(JobeetJobPeer::CATEGORY_ID.some HTML code -->
 <?php if (($count = $category->countActiveJobs() sfConfig::get('app_max_jobs_on_homepage')) > 0): ?>
 and <?php echo link_to($count. For this template to work. ?>
 We only add the link if there are more than 10 jobs to display for the current category.<!-. $this->getId()).php class JobeetJobPeer extends BaseJobeetJobPeer { static public function getActiveJobs(Criteria $criteria = null) { return self::doSelect(self::addActiveJobsCriteria($criteria)).php public function countActiveJobs() { $criteria = new Criteria(). } static public function addActiveJobsCriteria(Criteria $criteria = null) { if (is_null($criteria)) { $criteria = new Criteria(). 'category'. } static public function countActiveJobs(Criteria $criteria = null) { return self::doCount(self::addActiveJobsCriteria($criteria)). we need to add the countActiveJobs() method to JobeetCategory: // lib/model/JobeetCategory..php file with the following code: // lib/model/JobeetJobPeer. } The countActiveJobs() method uses a countActiveJobs() method that does not exist yet in JobeetJobPeer. return JobeetJobPeer::countActiveJobs($criteria). ?>
 <?php endforeach.. Replace the content of the JobeetJobPeer.
The first time a piece of code is re-used. That's a typical workflow when working on a symfony project. we have tried to put it in the right layer of the application and we have also tried to make the code reusable. you should see 10 (the max_jobs_on_homepage setting): . In the process. } } As you can see for yourself. Criteria::GREATER_THAN). But if you find another use for it. you need to refactor all uses to a shared function or a method. instead of using doSelect() and then count the number of results. we have also refactored some existing code. In the following screenshot we are showing 5 jobs to keep it short. time(). we have used the much faster doCount() method. just for this simple feature. $criteria->addDescendingOrderByColumn(self::CREATED_AT). } static public function doSelectActive(Criteria $criteria) { return self::doSelectOne(self::addActiveJobsCriteria($criteria)). We have changed a lot of files. as we have done here.$criteria->add(self::EXPIRES_AT. copying the code may be sufficient. But each time we have added some code. In the countActiveJobs() method. return $criteria. we have refactored the whole code of JobeetJobPeer to introduce a new shared addActiveJobsCriteria() method to make the code more DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
Job Category Module Creation It's time to create the category module: $ php symfony generate:module frontend category .
$this->setSlug(Jobeet::slugify($name)). Update the Database We need to add a slug column for the category table: # config/schema. and because we cannot deduce the category name from the slug. there is no way to find the category associated with the slug. you have probably used the propel:generate-module. Each time the category name changes.class.php class categoryActions extends sfActions . index: unique } Now that slug is a real column.yml propel: jobeet_category: id: ~ name: { type: varchar(255). the category route will have to find the category associated with the request slug variable. Replace the content of the category actions file with the following code: // apps/frontend/modules/category/actions/actions.php public function setName($name) { parent::setName($name). required: true } slug: { type: varchar(255). Let's override the setName() method: // lib/model/JobeetCategory. and repopulate the database with our fixtures: $ php symfony propel:build-all-load --no-confirmation We have now everything in place to create the executeShow() method. When accessing the category page. But as the slug is not stored in the database. That's fine but as we won't need 90% of the generated code. I have used the generate:module which creates an empty module. but as the main subject of the category page is a category. we need to compute and change the slug as well. you need to remove the getSlug() method from JobeetCategory.If you have created a module. Why not add a category action to the job module? We could. it feels more natural to create a dedicated category module. } Use the propel:build-all-load task to update the database tables. required: true.
A partial is just another template that starts with an underscore (_). sprintf('Jobs in the %s category'. 'job_show_user'. you can also remove the automatically generated indexSuccess. Time to learn a new trick. The last step is to create the showSuccess. A partial is a snippet of template code that can be shared among several templates. $category>getName())) ?>

 Feed

<?php echo $category ?>

 <?php foreach ($category->getActiveJobs() as $i => $job): ?> <tr class="<?php echo fmod($i. When you need to reuse some portion of a template.css') ?> <?php slot('title'.

Making your own fruit butters and jam from organic dried fruit is easy and less expensive than store bought version. Makes about 32-40 ounces of Fig Jam.
1 pound organic dried figs
3-4 cups water
1. Snip of the hard stem, if any, off of each fig.
2. Place figs in a 3.5 quart saucepan and add 3 cups water to the fruit. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and continue to cook until fruit is soft, about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Remove from heat and puree fruit with a hand blender, food processor or blender. Be careful not to splatter, the fruit is hot. The hand blender is convenient because you can leave the fruit in the pot. The mixture should be very thick. If you prefer a thinner consistency blend in more water.
3. Let cool, store in clean jars or containers and refrigerate.


DAX supports multiple relationships between tables, even if only one out of the many can be active at any time. USERELATIONSHIP, with CALCULATE, lets you activate one relationship, deactivating the other ones. As soon as you mix USERELATIONSHIP, CALCULATE, row context and context transition, the formulas tend to be much more complex than expected. If you feel confident with these topics, then this is the puzzle for you: a simple scenario, an innocent formula that looks easy at the beginning, but – as always – the devil is in the details.
Scenario
The Sales table has two relationships with Date. The first, based on OrderDateKey, is active. The second one, based on DeliveryDateKey, is inactive.
USERELATIONSHIP Schema
The Challenge
Compute the difference in days between the order date and the delivery date for each row of the Sales table, and report the average of this number for the transactions filtered in a query. In the following example you can see the expected result of this average:
USERELATIONSHIP Expected Result
Hints
You should create a single measure to obtain the result. However, you can also split the calculation in three steps:
 - First, create a calculated column in Sales containing the order date.
 - Second, create a calculated column in Sales containing the delivery date.
 - Third, compute a third column containing the difference between the previous two.
A simple AVERAGE of the third column provides the desired result. After you check the results, you can consolidate the entire calculation in a single measure, avoiding the three calculated columns, or at least skip the third calculated columns, using AVERAGEX instead of AVERAGE.

The term preadaptation is applied when a large change in function is accomplished with little change in structure.
As we look at the historical changes in the evolution of an adaptation, it is possible that at every stage the organ served the same function (the evolution of the eye is probably an example - all its stages probably had visual functions), or the earlier stages could possibly have had different functions from the later ones. The classical Darwinian term for the second possibility is preadaptation. The earlier stage is described as a preadaptation for the later stage.
The evolution of tetrapod limbs is an example, illustrated by an animation. A structure which was effective at locomotion in water was also good at locomotion over land with relatively few changes.
Preadaptation does not imply any futuristic or anticipatory faculty in evolution. All that is happening is that sometimes, by chance, an organ that works well in one function turns out to work well in another function after relatively little adjustment.
Image: it has been suggested that bird feathers are an example of a preadaptation: the first feathers were for heat insulation rather than an adaptation for flight.

Synch Options from Microsoft Excel to SharePoint
Depending on the business case one of the following options should be a valid one. It depends on the infrastructure too. There are a few limitations, variations and difference in concept depending on the requirements, for example if the use case involves only Excel 2003 usage, the process of porting data from Excel to SharePoint concept is called Publishing, where as if its Excel 2007, the process is keyed as Exporting. This difference is because
Excel 2003, out of the box (OOTB) it has the ability to synch 2 way with SharePoint.
Excel 2007, OOTB has the ability to do only 1 way synch. Although Microsoft released a add in to make 2 way synch possible.
In either case once the export/publishing is done the data in SharePoint should be considered as the master data.
1. MS Office Excel 2003 – 2 way synch is possible [Publish to SharePoint]
_URL_
_URL_
2. MS Office Excel 2007 – 1 way synch. (with add in 2 way synch is possible) [Export to SharePoint]
_URL_ (Addin 2 way synch)
_URL_ One way synch (SP to Excel)
3. General

4. Publishing Excel Workbooks to SharePoint so that users without MS Office can access complex spreadsheets in Browser

Excel Services Charts, Spreadsheets & Worksheets in SharePoint – Issues
You do not have permissions to open this file on excel services.
Make sure that the file is in an Excel Services trusted location and that you have access to the file.
If you are troubled with the above errors in SharePoint while publishing and viewing the excel services forms in browser then I believe you are in the right place. I am not sure if my guidelines will solve your problem but at least it solved my issues.
 1. In central admin site, in operations page, under services in the server farm enable the Excel Services.
 2. Open up the Shared Services Admin site. Under "Excel Services settings" section, open the 'Edit Excel Services settings '. Set the File Access Method to Process Account. In the same page under the 'External Data' section assign the appropriate user.
 3. Back to SSP Admin site. Open the "Excel Services Trusted File Locations". Give the URL Address of the location where you publish your excel workbooks. Potentially this will be the document library of type excel services. If it's a document library make sure not to put the complete URL i.e DON'T PUT something like http://server:5050/doclibraryname/Forms/AllItems.aspx, instead put it like http://server:5050/doclibraryname. In my case this is the main reason which showed the above error. If I use full URL I get those errors and no site mentions this after spending hours searching on google.
 4. In the same page under the 'External Data' select the Trusted data connection libraries and embedded or just the Trusted data connection libraries.


How can I randomly select a subset of logicals?
8 views (last 30 days)
Goal: I have a vector of logicals, 4203x1. These logicals correspond to trials with the conditions I want (in this example, about 48 out of 4203 are 1s, the rest are 0s). I would like to randomly downsample from these 48 to 20 to match the number of trials in another condition. How might I go about this?
Accepted Answer
James Tursa
James Tursa on 31 Mar 2020
Edited: James Tursa on 31 Mar 2020
T = your logical trials vector
n = 20; % number of trials to keep
f = find(T); % find the location of the 1's
f = f(randperm(numel(f))); % randomize the find results
T(f(n+1:end)) = false; % get rid of the other trials beyond the random 20
Or if you need to do this repeatedly for the same T, do the f = find(T) only once, then repeatedly do this
R = T;
f = f(randperm(numel(f))); % randomize the find results
R(f(n+1:end)) = false; % get rid of the other trials beyond the random 20
Alternatively, one could start with an all 0's matrix and then repeatedly randomly fill with 1's. E.g.,
R = false(size(T));
f = f(randperm(numel(f))); % randomize the find results
R(f(1:n)) = true; % randomly fill in the 1's

Length of hospital stay determines 'usual time'
What is considered the usual postoperative bleeding time following a transurethral resection of the prostate?
A A definition of normal postoperative bleeding time is not published. If one were to follow the definition of the global period as the normal postoperative bleeding time, then a different CPT code would have to be chosen for the treatment of postoperative bleeding during the 90 day postoperative global or the TURP. The best available code for treatment of bleeding, other than code 52606, is 52214.
A second option would be to treat "normal postoperative bleeding time" as the average time for hospitalization following a TURP. This definition makes more sense clinically. Therefore, code 52606 would be used for treatment of postoperative bleeding that occurs after discharge, and bleeding during the hospital stay should be coded as 52214. As mentioned above, the global period of the 52601 is 90 days. Therefore, payment within the global period would require a modifier –78 for treatment of a complication in the operating room during the global period. The –78 could be appended to the code 52606. The –78 could also be appended to code 52214 for the fulguration of bleeding in the area.
A The type of scope (flexible or rigid) does not affect the choice of CPT code for these services. The correct CPT code for reporting this service would be 52353: cystoureteroscopy, with ureteroscopy and or pyeloscopy; with lithotripsy (ureteral catheterization is included). If the double-J stent is left indwelling, the code is 52332-59.
Q What is the proper code for a flexible nephroscopy with electrohydraulic lithotripsy and insertion of double-J catheter?
A The appropriate code for a percutan-eous nephroscopy/pyeloscopy with lithotripsy would be 50581. However, if the procedure (a pyeloscopy with lithotripsy) was performed through a ureteroscope, then you would code it exactly as answered in the previous question.
Q Our docs performed a right ureteral stent placement with surgical repair of the lower third right ureter during a surgery for ileostomy. When the stent was placed in the ureter, they came in through the kidney first, then the ureter, and finally the bladder. They went backwards. Do I code the same as if they went the other way?
A Coding for the placement of a stent in this fashion would be most closely reflected by the coding of an antegrade stent placement. Per the description above, it sounds as if a catheter was inserted and an endoscope was used. If this is the case, use code 50572, renal endoscopy through nephrotomy or pyelotomy, with or without irrigation, instillation, or ureteropyelography, exclusive of radiologic service; with ureteral catheterization, with or without dilation of ureter. A –52 or –22 could be added to slightly modify the description if desired.
If, in fact, a stent was placed in the ureter through an open incision without the use of the endoscope, then code 50605, ureterotomy for insertion of indwelling stent, all types, might best describe the service provided.

Phase II Water-fetching Project of SIP Water Works Completed
At the approach of sweltering summer heat, demand for water is increasing rapidly among citizens of Suzhou. As is indicated by the municipal water administration, the peak demand for water is estimated to exceed 1.05 million tons this summer. What has come as a relief is the fact that the water-fetching project of SIP Water Works, the key project in Phase II, was completed on July 1, which will enable the water works to regulate a total of water volume of 600,000 tons daily. This will greatly lessen the pressure on water supply during this summer season.
It is reported that by March this year, SIP Public Utility Development Group Corporation had built 32 kilometers of 2.2-meter-diameter (the largest in Jiangsu Province) pipelines from Puzhang at the shore of Lake Taihu to SIP Water Works, which is to supply fine-quality lake water for the works. When the comprehensive Phase II of the water works is completed by the end of the year, the water supply capacity will be raised to 450,000 tons daily.
With the current water-fetching project completed and the newly-laid pipelines in function, the total volume of water transfer from Lake Taihu will reach 900,000 tons daily, and this will leave sufficient leeway for the long-term supply of water within the whole of SIP.

Overview
This article explains how to retrieve the content of RichTextEditor at the tapped position.
Description
As S60 5th Edition devices are touch sensitive, the pointer events can be captured using HandlePointerEventL(). This is also used to handle such events as pointer down/up and dragging. Thus a class derived from CCoeControl can implement the HandlePointerEventL() function for customising the handling of pointer events.
In order to get the contents of the Editor, first we need to get the co-ordinates of the tapped event and then identify the document position of the nearest character edge to the window coordinates specified. This helps in retrieving the content (entire word) nearest to the tapped position.
Solution
Headers Required
#include <FRMTVIEW.H>
#include <TXTRICH.H>
Libraries
LIBRARY etext.lib
LIBRARY form.lib
The following code snippet enables the retrieving of the contents of the editor at the tapped position. This has to be used in HandlePointerEentL().
 TPoint tapPoint( aPointerEvent.iPosition );
//iEditor is a CEikRichTextEditor object
CTextView* iTextView = iEditor->TextView();
//Get the current document position based on the point where the stylus is tapped.
TInt docPos(iTextView->XyPosToDocPosL( tapPoint ) );
TInt start( 0 );
TInt length( 0 );
//By passing the current position of the document you can get the word information
//(the start position and the length)
iEditor->RichText()->GetWordInfo(docPos,start,length, EFalse, EFalse);
if ( aPointerEvent.iType == TPointerEvent::EButton1Down )
{
// Based on the start position and the length get the word information.
// using the method Mid(TInt aPos, TInt aLength) const;
// the word at the tapped position can also be modifed
}
The above code snippet can also be used for highlighted items like URLs, phone numbers, and HTTP addresses. The Item Finder API can be used for highlighting URLs, phone numbers, and HTTP addresses.
In order to identify whether the stylus is tapped on the tag or not, the method CursorOverTag() can be used. The method returns a boolean value besides giving the start position and the length of the tag.
TBool iFlag = iEditor->RichText()->CursorOverTag( docPos, parser, start, length );

Earth Girl Volcano
This new FREE interactive game for OS and Windows computers may be downloaded from these links (55MB zip file):
Earth Girl Volcano is our new interactive game about making strategic decisions that minimize risk in communities exposed to volcanic hazards. This casual strategy game is focused on hazard preparedness and response skills, and it was developed by an interdisciplinary team. The game is inspired by real-life situations in communities located near volcanoes throughout the Pacific Ring of Fire. The game allows players to prepare for emergency evacuations and respond during volcanic hazards such as ash fall, mudflows and burning clouds. The simple and straightforward gameplay engages our core audience of 7-13 year-old kids and adults.
Volcanoes are majestic but they also pose a serious hazard to nearby communities, and the Earth Girl Volcano app provides an environment for proactive learning about volcanic risk. Players can experience and explore a variety of volcanic hazards and evacuation scenarios including lightly populated small villages, towns with high-rise buildings and even industrial parks. Players can explore, think and experiment outside the traditional learning setting. This makes Earth Girl Volcano the perfect companion for informal learning about volcanic risk, disaster management and preparedness.
The side-scrolling game has colorful graphics and 27 different experiences, and it runs on Windows or iOS computers and Android or iOS tablets. The game will be available in late September in three languages: English, Spanish and Italian. Before the end of 2018 we plan to have the Tagalog (Philippines) and Indonesian versions. Stay tuned for a link to download your Earth Girl Volcano game!

Wisselwerkingen: over epilepsie en de psychiatrische opleiding
M.W. Hengeveld
M. W. Hengeveld: lnteractions of epilepsy and psychiatrie training
What is the importance for an assistant psychiatrist of working in the Instituut voor Epilepsiebestrijding during his training, and what is the importance of the work of the assistant psychiatrist for the Instituut? This is the double question which will be discussed. The writer has carried out a retrospective study of 88 patients in the observation ward with respect to:
1. neurological and neuro-radiological disorders,
2. the number of those patients with evident psycho-social problems or psychiatric disorders and
3. the number in which the diagnosis of epilepsy could not be maintained.
With the help of literature and own experience of the writer, the problems with differential diagnoses in patients with epileptic seizures are discussed.
Again and again the assistant psychiatrist working in the observation ward has to search for possible neurological or psychiatric disorders and he is contributing much to the tackling of these problems.
He is trained to work with the interaction of physical functioning and behaviour of the patient.
The training for this form of integral medecine is, to the opinion of the writer, the most important thing the Instituut and the assistant psychiatrist can offer each other.

Fujitsu develops facial detection AI to quantify concentration levels of people
It has touted that the technology can detect concentration across various tasks.
Fujitsu has developed a new AI model that it claims can capture and quantify how much a person is concentrating when performing tasks.
Conventionally, AI models that are designed to quantify concentration have been created by training algorithms to recognise the expressions and behaviours of people performing specific tasks, such as e-learning, Fujitsu explained.
Facial Recognition with business man
But since facial expressions and behaviour differ depending on the tasks involved and the cultural background in which each person grew up, this meant that it has been difficult to develop AI models that could analyse different, specific situations, the company said.
With its new AI model, Fujitsu claimed that it can detect a person's concentration across various tasks due to it identifying common features and separating analysis by each muscle group so it does not become easily influenced by the subjects' cultural backgrounds.
"The technology captures changes over a short period of a few seconds, such as a tense mouth, and long-term changes over periods of tens of seconds, such as staring intently, with time frames optimised for each action unit," Fujitsu said.
When building the AI model, Fujitsu collected data from 650 people across China, Japan, and the United States as part of its machine learning dataset. The dataset included information focused on people engaging in tasks, like memorisation and searching, that require concentration.
Using the newly developed AI model, the concentration levels of participants in each country was estimated for a series of tasks, and it was possible to estimate the degree of concentration with more than 85% accuracy, Fujitsu claimed.
In addition, when the developed AI model was evaluated using data that included both concentration and non-concentration due to drowsiness, Fujitsu said it was able to confirm declines in concentration due to sleepiness indicators.
Fujitsu hopes the latest AI model can be applied across various services such as online classes, online meetings, and sales activities, which have expanded due to the uptick of remote learning and working.
Across the globe, organisations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have condemned the use of faulty facial recognition systems. In a blog post last year, ACLU senior staff attorney Ashley Gorski said: "Over the last couple years, it's become increasingly clear that facial recognition technology doesn't work well, and would be a civil liberties and privacy nightmare even if it did."
Meanwhile, the Council of Europe published new guidelines at the start of the year that criticised the deployment of facial recognition technologies in workplace and learning contexts.
The watchdog advised that where the technology is used exclusively to determine an individual's skin colour, religious belief, sex, ethnic origin, age, health or social status, the use of facial recognition should be prohibited, unless it can be shown that its deployment is necessary and proportionate.
Under the same conditions, the Council of Europe said the ban should also apply to digital tools that can recognise emotions, detect personality traits, or mental health conditions, as they could be used unfairly in hiring processes or to determine access to insurance and education.

To operate the tutorial, use the slider bar to morph the mirror assembly between a standard cylindrical reflection mirror and the new Nikon toroidal mirror. Stray light reflected from the cylindrical mirror ordinarily causes a decrease in contrast when using short-working distance objectives under darkfield diascopic illumination, because a considerable amount of light enters the objective front lens. When using a toroidal mirror, direct light is shielded from entering the objective.

The Baalands flock consists of 38 purebred and crossbred
Katahdin ewes. For the 2013 lamb crop, three rams were used for breeding: a purebred registered Katahdin yearling ram (Phelps) from Triple L Farms (Virginia); a 5/8 Lacaune x 3/8 Katahdin ram lamb (Spooner) from the Spooner Agricultural Research Center (Wisconsin); and a 1/2 Katahdin x 1/4 Hampshire x 1/4 Suffolk yearling ram (B-Ears). The purpose of the current breeding program is to produce purebred registered Katahdins, as well as crossbred lambs of two specific types: Katahdin "Mule" (3/4 Katahdin x 1/4 Blackface) and Katahdin "Dairy" (11/16 Katahdin x 5/16 Lacaune).
The Baalands is a performance-oriented flock, specializing
in the production of replacement ewe lambs and maternal sires. Selection
is on the basis of maternal traits: fertility, prolificacy,
mothering ability, milk production, udder conformation, longevity, and easy-care
(no shearing, good fleshing, minimal deworming, and minimal hoof trimming).
The goal of the Baalands is to raise Katahdins and their crosses for use in profit-oriented sheep enterprises.
Lambs are born in February, March and April and ready to go in June and July. Purebred and crossbred lambs are available. Ram lambs are genotyped for scrapie resistance. Sometimes, a few mature ewes are available for sale after weaning.
Why Katahdins? Katahdins are a medium-sized hair (shedding) sheep developed
in the United States (Maine) in the 1950's. They do not require shearing,
crutching, or tail docking. They are more resistant to internal
parasites (worms) than conventional wooled breeds. Katahdins
excel in reproductive performance, typically producing lamb
crops in excess of 200 percent. They can be crossed with rams
of any breed to produce replacement ewe lambs and market lambs of the desired type.

I am trying to show that the following equation system:
$$e^u+e^v+2-4e^{x^2-y}=0$$ $$\sin u+xu-v^4-y=0$$
Does not define $(y,x)$ as a function of $(u,v)$ implicitly around $(0,0,0,0)$.
Attempt What I tried to do was find $u,v$ such that in a small radius of (0,0,0,0) the equation would have no solution. My best guess was $u=0, v=R$ (where $R =$ radius), but I had difficulty showing that the system then has no solution.
Help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Differentiate implicitely with respect to u and v and evaluate at 0. Then see if the Jacobian matrix is singular. – PAD Jul 5 '12 at 7:32
We hadn't learned this technique yet (this is a question from a former exam I'm prepping with)... is there another solution? – ro44 Jul 5 '12 at 7:41
_USER_ You need to use the implicit function theorem. – fpqc Jul 5 '12 at 7:49
_USER_: I know a version of the implicit function theorem that would let me prove this is an implicit function, but not one that would let me prove it isn't. Is there something I might be missing here? – ro44 Jul 5 '12 at 7:52

You have the right idea. Setting $u=0$ simplifies the system to $e^v+3=4e^{x^2-y}$, $y=-v^4$. The key observation is that the exponent $x^2-y$ cannot be negative, and this is a problem for the first equation when $v<0$.
share|improve this answer
Oh! I missed the fact that $y=-v^4$, thought it was $y=v^4$. – ro44 Jul 5 '12 at 16:40

The implicit function theorem guarantees you a nice solution $x=x(u,v)$, $\ y=y(u,v)$ with $x(0,0)=0$, $\ y(0,0)=0$ if a certain "technical condition" is satisfied, but has nothing to say if this condition is not satisfied (which is the case here).
On the other hand we can go and solve the system for $x$ and $y$ explicitly. From the second equation we deduce $y=x u+\sin u-v^4$, and plugging this into the first equation gives $$e^u+e^v+2=4\exp(x^2-x u-\sin u+v^4)$$ or $$x^2 - xu -\sin u +v^4-\log\Bigl(1+{e^u-1\over4}+{e^v-1\over4}\Bigr)=0\.$$ This is a quadratic equation for $x$ which you can solve explicitly, but it might have complex solutions for some $(u,v)$ near $(0,0)$. Maybe you don't allow this.
To see what happens we retain only the terms of order $\leq2$ in $u$ and $v$. We then have the equation $$x^2-x u-{5\over4}u-{1\over4}v-{1\over32}(3u^2-2u v+3v^2)=0$$ with the formal solutions $$x={1\over2}\Bigl(u\pm\sqrt{5u+v+{\rm quadratic\ terms}}\Bigr)\.$$ Here the radicand is negative on one side of a quadric going through the origin of the $(u,v)$-plane. This implies that in the immediate neighborhood of $(0,0)$ there are points $(u,v)$ to which correspond no real $(x,y)$ solving the given system of equations.

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic formal right hepatectomy remains a technical challenge. We propose that the procedure can be accomplished efficiently with standard laparoscopic techniques, in ordered sequence, using smaller incisions, and having identical outcomes as the open procedure.
METHOD: We reviewed 25 consecutive video recordings of formal laparoscopic right hepatectomy performed over a 4 month period. Instruments include 3 – 4 trocars, and a wound protector-hand port (Gelport). Bipolar (Ligasure) and monopolar cautery, and ultrasonic shears are the primary energy sources. Instruments consist of atraumatic graspers and fine-tip dissectors. The 30- and 45-degree angled videoscope are used. Hepatic vessels are ligated with grey-load endoscopic staplers and white-load staplers are used for liver parenchyma. The technique is parceled into five sequences: (1) hilar dissection to divide cystic duct/artery, right hepatic artery, right portal vein, (2) release ligamentous attachments laterally and superiorly, (3) divide retro-hepatic veins to IVC, (4) isolate/ligate right hepatic vein, (5) divide liver parenchyma. All staplers and sutures are pre-loaded.
RESULTS: In all cases of formal right hepatectomy, we have consistently adopted this approach and sequence of dissection for efficiency and teaching. Each case requires two surgeons and total operative times range from 120 – 150 mins (average time requirements for the five major sequences are: hilar dissection 20 mins, attachments 10 mins, retrohepatic veins 15 mins, right HV 10 mins, parenchyma 10 mins). Typically, 4 grey-load staplers and 5 white-load staplers are used in a case, depending on the size of the liver. The liver lobe and gallbladder are removed through a 7 cm protected midline incision.
CONCLUSIONS: Efficiency of laparoscopic-assisted formal right hepatectomy with vascular isolation can be enhanced with a consistent approach and sequence. We advocate deconstructing this major operation into smaller parcels for instructional purposes, which also enables the team to prepare and anticipate requirements for each sequence.

What kind of fish can you keep with an axolotl ?
You may have one or more axolotls and you want a little more animation in the Tank by adding a few fish but you wonder is it really possible to make axolotls cohabit with other freshwater fish ?
Yes, you can introduce other species of freshwater fish in the tank of your axolotls if it is large enough of course but you have to respect these conditions to start:
- They must not be numerous (less than 10).
- They should never be bigger, or even the same size with your Axies.
- You must have an excellent filter and change the tank water more frequently.
- And finally, you must permanently supply your tank with these small fish, because they will surely be used as food for your axolotls.
Keep reading, there are other precautions to take before introducing these fish into the Tank of your axolotls.
Which fish can you coexist with an axolotl?
Try to introduce fish of less than 4 cm if your axolotl is an adult of course and measures a little more than 15 cm, the principle to be respected here is that the fish must be able to pass easily in its mouth.
They must also be nutritious, so I recommend White cloud minnows, Killifish, Guppies, Mosquitofish, endlers or charales (very typical in Mexico) and if you don't find these species in your pet store, you can use Goldfish .
What are the precautions to take before introducing these small fish into an Axie's Tank?
In addition to the precautions I mentioned above, you must first of all choose small fish, which are neither sick nor carrying parasites.
You will buy about ten of them and put them in a small aquarium or tank and quarantine them for at least a week to make sure they are safe for your axolotls.
You will introduce them into the aquarium in broad daylight and you must especially monitor more closely what happens in the Tank during the first week.
If you see that the small fish to attack the gills of your axolotls, and they do not react by chasing them away, you must remove these fish immediately.
The axolotls will eat their guests
Yes, you will soon notice that one or two small fishes are missing in the tank, the axolotls have probably chased them and eaten them.
What you are going to do now is to wait for the axolotl to drop a turd, you are going to pick it up with a Turkey Baster for example and crush it. If all goes well, you will find traces of fish bones in it, a sign that your axolotl has digested the little fish well.
What other species can you co-exist with an axolotl?
If you want neighbors that your axolotls won't hunt, in any case they will try but they won't always succeed, I recommend fresh water ghost shrimps or fresh water snails that can stand the cold if you can find some…
A freshwater shrimp like Ghost shrimp : they tolerate cooler temperatures, they will also clean the bottom of the aquarium from food remains and maybe serve as food for your axolotls even if they are not easy to catch.
Fancy shrimp and Cherry shrimp are very nice but they need a bit higher temperatures, you can try them too.
Is there a risk if you introduce too many fish to live with an Ambystoma Mexicanum ?
Yes, in the long run, because these fish may probably end up stressing your axolotls, that's why you should never put more than 10 at a time.
There is also their urine and waste and the remains of their food which could increase the PH of the water and make your axolotl sick, not to mention the risk of aggression, a small fish could still manage to thwart the vigilance of your axolotl and tear off a piece of its gills.
Finally, let me tell you the two species of freshwater fish that you should never introduce in the tank of your axolotls, they are the tilapia and the carp.
These two fish are natural predators of axolotls, so avoid making this mistake !
You should know too that younger axolotls may nip each other's feet and gills if they have no enough space or shelters . Even axolotls up to (5 or 6 inches) may nip their tank mates, occasionally inflicting serious damage , that's why we recommend a large tanks .

Doctor of Education (Ed.D.)
Students in Pennsylvania are falling behind in reading proficiency. Early literacy skills are the foundation for future reading success and students who have not learned to read proficiently by the end of 3rd grade have an increased chance of failing to achieve academic success. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to investigate the relationship between preschool teachers' perceived self-efficacy for literacy instruction and preschool literacy assessment scores of students at local private preschool classrooms. The research question focused on the relationship between preschool teacher self-efficacy for literacy instruction and student literacy achievement. Bandura's self-efficacy theory served as the theoretical foundation of the study. Preschool teachers' (n = 31) perceived levels of self-efficacy for early literacy instruction was measured using the Komlodi Assessment for Self-efficacy (KASE) survey. A Pearson correlation analysis of the KASE survey data along with preschool student literacy assessment scores from the Teaching Strategies GOLD preschool assessment was completed to determine whether a relationship exists. The results, however, revealed no significant correlation between teacher self-efficacy and student literacy achievement. The findings suggested that the preschool teachers perceived themselves as effective in both literacy instruction and knowledge of literacy concepts, but less efficacious in their ability to diagnose and provide successful interventions to students struggling with literacy. Recommendations include offering professional development opportunities to strengthen the skills where preschool teachers feel less effective. A focus on professional development and support for teachers may promote social change as students achieve higher early literacy proficiency and become successful members of society.

For example, users who also have to measure standard geometries no longer have to use software that offers more than they need. HOLOS Geo is the practical solution for sampling measurements, e.g. the initial inspection of cast and forged parts, bores and reference marks. Furthermore, HOLOS Geo includes functions for measurements with references, which is primarily required for metal and plastic parts. Defining and storing different measurement strategies is also a key element of HOLOS Geometry.


text: This thesis presents two alternative building-based hydroelectric technologies with the potential to improve energy efficiency at an urban scale. These systems are a hydroelectric turbine driven by wastewater, and building-based electricity storage systems in the form of either pumped hydro or gravity modules. Current analysis investigates the techno-economic tradeoffs of each technology through numerical modeling of each system and their corresponding scenarios. Results show that the wastewater hydroelectric turbine can increase a building's pumping system's efficiency by 36% and is cost-effective when installed in buildings with a minimum of 35 floors and 47 units per floor. This is highly sensitive to electricity rate. The gravity module can offer higher power capacity at a lower levelized electricity cost than the pumped hydro, with a maximum energy capacity reaching 1,358 kWh in 300 m buildings, and lower levelized electricity cost than equivalent lithium-ion battery systems in all buildings taller than 156 m.

Platinum Rummy Nose Tetra
The Platinum colour variation have a much more intense silverish/blue shine to the scales compared to normal rummy nose. The normal rummy nose tetras have their usual whitish/silver body color, but are much less shiny than the platinum ones.
The rummy-nose tetra is a schooling fish, which exhibits tight schooling behaviour both in the wild and in the aquarium. Consequently, these fishes should be maintained in groups of no fewer than six individuals, with larger numbers being preferable where space permits-these tetras preferring about a 25 gallon/80 litre aquarium. All three species are lovers of warm aquarium water, the temperature range for maintenance being 24 °C to 31 °C, with the fishes sometimes requiring temperatures as high as 33 °C for breeding

Terminal sedation vs voluntary assisted dying
Peter Beahan / 14 August 2020
Terminal sedation and voluntary assisted dying (VAD) are different approaches to the management of the approximately 5% of dying patients who experience overwhelming suffering. Terminal sedation is also known as palliative sedation.
Opponents of VAD often say that such dying patients can be provided with terminal sedation. However, we believe that terminal sedation can be an inferior option to VAD for patients who are able to choose between them. The differences are summarised in the table below.
Terminal SedationVoluntary Assisted Dying
Dying can be prolonged and uncertainDying is quick and certain
The decision is most often made by the doctorThe decision is made by the patient
Death is often experienced by loved ones as undignified and harrowingDeath is experienced with reverence, thankfulness, and a sense of release
The time of death is indeterminate; patients sometimes die alone, to the distress of familyThe time of death is chosen by the patient
Deep sedation may remove both consciousness and all semblance of personhoodConsciousness is preserved. Death is induced by fast acting and effective medication
Documentation may be cryptic, and clouded in secrecyDocumentation is regulated, transparent and subject to official scrutiny
Doctor accountability for process and outcome is not clearly definedDoctor accountability is fully and clearly defined
Legal protections for the doctor (criminal homicide), and the patient (abuse) are minimalThe doctor and the patient are well protected by the law
Access depends on the doctor's attitude, including religious beliefsAccess is legally available, provided the patient is eligible
Neither capacity to consent, nor consent itself, is necessary, even from the familyBoth capacity, and consent from the patient are required
No beneficial effect on
bereavement
Beneficial effect on bereavement compared with death from natural causes (Swarfe et al, 2003)
With terminal sedation, dying can take many days, and the time to death is unpredictable. The patient may linger in a semi-comatose state, dehydrated and deteriorating. This can be distressing to loved ones, who are not able to communicate with the dying person or help in any meaningful way. With VAD, the person has capacity and awareness, plus the ability to communicate and to initiate the process.
With terminal sedation, the decision to administer continuous sedative medication is often that of the doctor. The patient may not be able to indicate consent. With VAD, the dying person makes the decision while dignity and purpose are intact. This is both a rational and a mentally healthy choice, for those who take that option.
With terminal sedation, death can be a trial for all concerned. It can be remembered with guilt and horror. With VAD, the patient chooses the timing and the arrangements. Death is dignified and peaceful. It is often described as a 'good death' – a fitting end that complements and rounds off a person's life experiences and achievements (Reid, 2018).
With terminal sedation, sedative and analgesic medications are relied on to control the dying process and associated suffering. Even so, fluctuating levels of response mean that complete control of suffering cannot be guaranteed. With VAD, the dying process is brought to a conclusion by the administration of medication that is the same as, or similar to, that used for general anaesthesia. This can be self-administered by mouth, or given intravenously. The latter can be given by the doctor or arranged for self-activated administration by the patient. Communication channels remain open up to the last minutes of life. The most important loved ones are usually present or close by.
With terminal sedation, documentation may be incomplete and statistical information impossible to collect. There is no regulatory framework. With VAD, documentation is clear, frank and open to scrutiny.
Finally, there are some characteristics that terminal sedation and VAD have in common. In both, the primary aim of the doctor is the relief of suffering. In both, the patient is in the process of dying, and will inevitably die. In each case, the intent is the same, and the outcome (death) is the same (Lipuma, 2013).
VAD will not be acceptable to some dying people, nor will it be available to some others. Terminal sedation will continue to be a valuable intervention for such people if they experience refractory suffering. It can be well accepted, where there is accountability, and good communication and care directed toward family members (Bruinsma, 2015).

How to turn your CentOS box into an OSPF router using Quagga
I had originally written this article for xmodulo.
Quagga is an open source routing software suite that can be used to turn your Linux box into a fully-fledged router that supports major routing protocols like RIP, OSPF, BGP or ISIS router. It has full provisions for IPv4 and IPv6, and supports route/prefix filtering. Quagga can be a life saver in case your production router is down, and you don't have a spare one at your disposal, so are waiting for a replacement. With proper configurations, Quagga can even be provisioned as a production router.
In this tutorial, we will connect two hypothetical branch office networks (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24 and 172.17.1.0/24) that have a dedicated link between them.
Our CentOS boxes are located at both ends of the dedicated link. The hostnames of the two boxes are set as 'site-A-RTR' and 'site-B-RTR' respectively. IP address details are provided below.
 - Site-A: 192.168.1.0/24
 - Site-B: 172.17.1.0/24
 - Peering between 2 Linux boxes: 10.10.10.0/30
The Quagga package consists of several daemons that work together. In this tutorial, we will focus on setting up the following daemons.
 1. Zebra: a core daemon, responsible for kernel interfaces and static routes.
 2. Ospfd: an IPv4 OSPF daemon.
Install Quagga on CentOS
We start the process by installing Quagga using yum.
# yum install quagga
On CentOS 7, SELinux prevents /usr/sbin/zebra from writing to its configuration directory by default. This SELinux policy interferes with the setup procedure we are going to describe, so we want to disable this policy. For that, either turn off SELinux (which is not recommended), or enable the 'zebra_write_config' boolean as follows. Skip this step if you are using CentOS 6.
# setsebool -P zebra_write_config 1
Without this change, we will see the following error when attempting to save Zebra configuration from inside Quagga's command shell.
Can't open configuration file /etc/quagga/zebra.conf.OS1Uu5.
After Quagga is installed, we configure necessary peering IP addresses, and update OSPF settings. Quagga comes with a command line shell called vtysh. The Quagga commands used inside vtysh are similar to those of major router vendors such as Cisco or Juniper.
Phase 1: Configuring Zebra
We start by creating a Zebra configuration file, and launching Zebra daemon.
# cp /usr/share/doc/quagga-XXXXX/zebra.conf.sample /etc/quagga/zebra.conf
# service zebra start
# chkconfig zebra on
Launch vtysh command shell:
# vtysh
The prompt will be changed to:
site-A-RTR#
which indicates that you are inside vtysh shell.
First, we configure the log file for Zebra. For that, enter the global configuration mode in vtysh by typing:
site-A-RTR# configure terminal
and specify log file location, then exit the mode:
site-A-RTR(config)# log file /var/log/quagga/quagga.log
site-A-RTR(config)# exit
Save configuration permanently:
site-A-RTR# write
Next, we identify available interfaces and configure their IP addresses as necessary.
site-A-RTR# show interface
Interface eth0 is up, line protocol detection is disabled
. . . . .
Interface eth1 is up, line protocol detection is disabled
. . . . .
Configure eth0 parameters:
site-A-RTR# configure terminal
site-A-RTR(config)# interface eth0
site-A-RTR(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.1/30
site-A-RTR(config-if)# description to-site-B
site-A-RTR(config-if)# no shutdown
Go ahead and configure eth1 parameters:
site-A-RTR(config)# interface eth1
site-A-RTR(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1/24
site-A-RTR(config-if)# description to-site-A-LAN
site-A-RTR(config-if)# no shutdown
Now verify configuration:
site-A-RTR(config-if)# do show interface
Interface eth0 is up, line protocol detection is disabled
. . . . .
 inet 10.10.10.1/30 broadcast 10.10.10.3
. . . . .
Interface eth1 is up, line protocol detection is disabled
. . . . .
 inet 192.168.1.1/24 broadcast 192.168.1.255
. . . . .
site-A-RTR(config-if)# do show interface description
Interface Status Protocol Description
eth0 up unknown to-site-B
eth1 up unknown to-site-A-LAN
Save configuration permanently, and quit interface configuration mode.
site-A-RTR(config-if)# do write
site-A-RTR(config-if)# exit
site-A-RTR(config)# exit
site-A-RTR#
Quit vtysh shell to come back to Linux shell.
site-A-RTR# exit
Next, enable IP forwarding so that traffic can be forwarded between eth0 and eth1 interfaces.
# echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
# sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf
Repeat the IP address configuration and IP forwarding enabling steps on site-B server as well.
If all goes well, you should be able to ping site-B's peering IP 10.10.10.2 from site-A server.
Note that once Zebra daemon has started, any change made with vtysh's command line interface takes effect immediately. There is no need to restart Zebra daemon after configuration change.
Phase 2: Configuring OSPF
We start by creating an OSPF configuration file, and starting the OSPF daemon:
# cp /usr/share/doc/quagga-XXXXX/ospfd.conf.sample /etc/quagga/ospfd.conf
# service ospfd start
# chkconfig ospfd on
Now launch vtysh shell to continue with OSPF configuration:
# vtysh
Enter router configuration mode:
site-A-RTR# configure terminal
site-A-RTR(config)# router ospf
Optionally, set the router-id manually:
site-A-RTR(config-router)# router-id 10.10.10.1
Add the networks that will participate in OSPF:
site-A-RTR(config-router)# network 10.10.10.0/30 area 0
site-A-RTR(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0/24 area 0
Save configuration permanently:
site-A-RTR(config-router)# do write
Repeat the similar OSPF configuration on site-B as well:
site-B-RTR(config-router)# network 10.10.10.0/30 area 0
site-B-RTR(config-router)# network 172.17.1.0/24 area 0
site-B-RTR(config-router)# do write
The OSPF neighbors should come up now. As long as ospfd is running, any OSPF related configuration change made via vtysh shell takes effect immediately without having to restart ospfd.
In the next section, we are going to verify our Quagga setup.
Verification
1. Test with ping
To begin with, you should be able to ping the LAN subnet of site-B from site-A. Make sure that your firewall does not block ping traffic.
[root@site-A-RTR ~]# ping 172.17.1.1 -c 2
2. Check routing tables
Necessary routes should be present in both kernel and Quagga routing tables.
[root@site-A-RTR ~]# ip route
10.10.10.0/30 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.10.1
172.17.1.0/30 via 10.10.10.2 dev eth0 proto zebra metric 20
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link sr

Mechanical Processing after Carburizing Treatment of Drop Forging
In order to achieve high surface hardness and surface roughness, improve fatigue strength, and meet working performance of drop forgings, Mechanical processing will be operated after carburizing treatment. The mechanical processing after carburizing treatment is generally as follows:
1) Machining
The surface carbon content after carburizing is high, and after heat treatment, the surface of drop forged blanks will exsit a large amount of residual austenite, easy to form grinding cracks, such as burns and crack, in the process of grinding. Besides, grinding crack can also produce if there is thick carbide, carbide network or carbide film. So in the process of Mechanical Processing, we should refer to the technical requirements of carburizing forgings, choose the correct process parameters according to the specific characteristics. This will help improve the quality of the drop forgings, and can guide the actual machining.
2) Shot blasting
Shot blast the carburized drop forgings into shot blasting machines, pill granule will impact the products with high speed of 50 ~ 70 m/s after a certain period of time, on the surface depth range of 0.1 ~ 0. 25 mm, drop forgings will win the uniform cold work hardening layer, thus to improve the hardnss of forging surface. Its effect has a direct relationship with the original organization of material surface. There will be obvious hardening effect if the surface has redundant residual austenite organization after quenching. Once appear carbide network on the surface, it will cause the emergence of surface crack, therefore, there is a strict control and requirements on the quenching organization of carburized forging surface.
3) Rolling or polishing
To improve the fatigue life, and the strengthening effect of drop forging surface, except for shot blasting processing, drop forgings can also be rolled or polished processing, namely rolling or rolling friction polishing. It is a kind of cold work hardening and strengthening technologies on the surface, which has the following features:
a) Improving surface hardness, change the size and distribution of residual stresses.
b) Improve surface finish of drop forgings.
c) Increase bending fatigue strength and touching fatigue strength.

Describe how to eliminate or reduce the number of parasites in food.
Cooking foods to minimum safe endpoint cooking temperatures destroys all foodborne parasites. Freezing will also kill some parasites in food.
For example, to destroy parasites in fish that is to be served raw, the fish can be frozen and stored at a temperature of –4 degrees F (-20 degrees C) or colder for 168 (7 days) or frozen at –31 degrees F (-35 degrees C) or colder until solid and stored at –31 degrees F (-35 degrees C) for 15 hours. If the fish are tuna of the species Thunnus alalunga, Thunnus albacares (Yellowfin tuna), Thunnus atlanticus, Thunnus maccoyii (Bluefin tuna, Southern), Thunnus obesus (Bigeye tuna), or Thunnus thynnus (Bluefin tuna, Northern), the fish may be served in a raw, raw-marinated, or partially cooked form without being frozen first.

ArianeGroup has signed a contract with ESA for the future Prometheus engine, a European demonstrator for a very low cost engine running on liquid oxygen and methane, versions of which could be powering European launchers as of 2030.
The aim is to be able to build future liquid propellant engines with a unit cost of about 1 million euros, or 10 times less than the cost of producing existing engines such as the Vulcain®2. The success of this type of technological challenge demands an entirely new approach and the use of innovative design and production methods and tools. Apart from switching from the traditional Ariane propellant (transition from the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen combination to a combination of liquid oxygen and methane), the demonstrator will entail major developments, including digitilization of engine control and diagnostics, and manufacturing using 3D printing in a connected factory environment.
The 75 million euro contract signed by Daniel Neuenschwander, Director of Space Transportation at the European Space Agency (ESA), and Alain Charmeau, CEO of ArianeGroup, the 50/50 joint-venture set up by the Airbus and Safran groups, covers the design, manufacturing and testing of the first two examples of the Prometheus demonstrator. The French space agency (CNES) is leading in the early design process, and testing is scheduled on the P5 test bed of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Lampoldshausen, Germany, as of 2020.
Following the initial phase, which was completed in early December, the first Program Review confirmed the consistency of the design choices with engine specifications and in particular with the recurring cost targets. At the same time, subsystems testing has started with the gas generator campaign (one of the parts built using 3D printing) on the DLR's P8 test bed in Lampoldshausen.


higher is better. If the images significantly differ you'll get much lower ones like 15 and so. This similarity check is easy and fast to calculate, however in practice it may turn out somewhat inconsistent with human eye perception. The **structural similarity** algorithm aims to correct this. Describing the methods goes well beyond the purpose of this tutorial. For that I invite you to read the article introducing it. Nevertheless, you can get a good image of it by looking at the OpenCV implementation below... seealso:: SSIM is described more in-depth in the: "Z. Wang, A. C. Bovik, H. R. Sheikh and E. P.

This value is between zero and one, where one corresponds to perfect fit. Unfortunately, the many Gaussian blurring is quite costly, so while the PSNR may work in a real time like environment (24 frame per second) this will take significantly more than to accomplish similar performance results. Therefore, the source code presented at the start of the tutorial will perform the PSNR measurement for each frame, and the SSIM only for the frames where the PSNR falls below an input value. For visualization purpose we show both images in an OpenCV window and print the PSNR and MSSIM values to the console.

As installed, the Oracle ATG Web Commerce default configuration enables event messaging for distributed TCP caching mode; you only need to ensure that the das_gsa_subscriber table is properly created in your database.
Event server
All SQL repositories in a given Oracle ATG Web Commerce instance set their eventServer property to the same event server component. The default component path is:
Event server ports
By default, each event server listens for cache invalidation events on a port that is randomly assigned by the operating system. Alternatively, you can set an event server component's port property to a permanent port number—for example, in order to bypass a firewall.
Event server connection timeout
Occasionally, an Oracle ATG Web Commerce instance's event server is inaccessible—for example, the host machine has gone down. You can control the length of time allowed to establish a socket connection to an event server through its connectTimeout property—by default, set to 60000 milliseconds.
If a connection attempt times out, the event server attempting to connect prints a warning message. Also, the routing information for the item descriptor on the unresponsive Oracle ATG Web Commerce instance is removed from das_gsa_subscriber. The event server starts a new connection attempt after the time span specified in its connectRetryTimeout property, initially set to 120000 milliseconds.
GSAEvent timeout
An event server determines whether other event servers are alive by their responses to the GSAEvents that it sends. If an event server does not respond within the time span specified by its sendRemoteEventTimeout property—by default, 60000 milliseconds—the sending event server assumes an invalid socket connection to the non-responding event server and drops the corresponding GSAConnection from its connection table. It then attempts to reconnect within the time span specified by its connectTimeout property.
An event server uses its sendRemoteEventTimeout property only if its enableSendRemoteEventTimeout property is set to true (the default setting).

Could someone advice me how to merge a vector of'single' and a vector of 'int8' in Matlab?
Tektronix AWG waveform format: each wave point = data and markers. data = single precision float, markers = byte. So each point is 5 bytes. I have these vectors in matlab. Each up to 32Mpoints. How to merge them fast? The only that I have for now:
fsingle = fopen('temp.tmp','w'); fwrite(fsingle, signal,'single'); fclose(fsingle); f8 = fopen('temp.tmp','r'); b = fread(f8, [4 Inf],'int8'); fclose(f8); f8 = fopen('output.wfm','w'); fwrite(f8, [b, markers]', 'int8'); fclose(f8);
This works. How can I execute lines 1 to 6 without writing on disk? It seems there are no pointers to variables in matlab...
Will be thankful for every idea,

The Age Old Question
Are mandatory service bulletins really mandatory?
The question about mandatory bulletins has been around at least as long as I've been in this business. Although the guidance material out there continues to indicate conflicting positions within the FAA I think that the latest guidance makes it easier to determine the answer to the question "Is a mandatory service bulletin required for airworthiness compliance?" In this issue we will talk about what a service bulletin is and what the rules say about them being mandatory in the eyes of the manufacturer as well as the eyes of the FAA. Maybe we can come up with an answer that you will be able to hang onto for a while.
Let me start by making my personal position on this issue very clear. Compliance with mandatory service bulletins is one of the most important maintenance actions that an owner/operator can take to keep their aircraft in the safest and best possible condition. The manufacturer knows better than anyone else when special maintenance needs arise and the issuance of service bulletins is the chosen method for keeping us all informed. Not to mention what compliance with mandatory service bulletins can do for the resale value of the aircraft. My objective in this article is to help you understand the difference between the manufacturer's highest level of suggestive maintenance (mandatory service bulletins) and the regulations.

"Service bulletin" is a term that is used in our industry to describe notices that are sent out by equipment manufacturers to keep those who use and maintain the equipment aware of changes, errors, findings, new ideas, etc. It is an effective way for manufacturers to get information out to the market quickly. I've heard "service bulletins" called many things; service letters, customer bulletins, change notices, the list goes on and on. Each manufacturer has established its unique naming convention as well as numbering methodology. For the purposes of this discussion let's just refer to them inclusively as service bulletins.
When manufacturers began issuing bulletins forever ago, I presume that they were just "bulletins" if only for a few months or years. But eventually the manufacturers must have realized that there were different levels of seriousness or criticality to a bulletin and began to further categorize them as recommended, optional, informational, mandatory, alert, etc. Having no standard for the terminology, it was left to the manufacturer to categorize the bulletins as they thought was best. The lack of standardization at least contributes to the confusion.
The evolution of the service bulletin, particularly in the business aviation community, has left us with a multitude of different types and different levels to hash through and try to make sense of. When the manufacturer attaches the term mandatory to a service bulletin, it's human nature to ask the question, "Are mandatory bulletins really mandatory?" Or "What is mandatory anyway?" and look to the regulations for the answer. The manufacturer can categorize a service bulletin as mandatory, but where in the regulations does it say that service bulletins issued by the manufacturer are mandatory? Well, it doesn't.
Airworthiness directive
Somewhere along the line, the FAA decided that a bulletin that had been issued by a manufacturer to correct a serious enough condition that operators needed to comply with the service bulletin, even though it was not considered "mandatory" by regulation, needed a new designation. It issued an airworthiness directive. 14 CFR Part 39 has been set aside for capturing all airworthiness directives issued by the FAA. This makes every airworthiness directive a regulation, and thus compliance becomes an issue of aircraft airworthiness. The distinction between mandatory and non-mandatory service bulletins is determined on a case-by-case basis and decided only by the FAA. Issuance of an airworthiness directive is one way that a service bulletin can be required by regulation. New guidance material issued by the FAA explains a few other ways that a manufacturer's bulletin can become an airworthiness compliance requirement.
