How many calories are in a cooked burger?
A traditional burger weighing 6 ounces before cooking and made with 80 percent lean ground beef has more than 435 calories. To go lighter you can use extra-lean ground beef (96 percent lean), which has 195 calories for 6 ounces, or 85 percent lean ground beef, which has 360 calories.
How many carbs does a beef burger have?
Hamburger or ground beef, 90% lean (3 ounce) contains 0g of carbs, 7.5g of protein, 3.1g of fat, and 60.7 calories.
How much protein is in a 100g beef burger?
|Typical Values||Per 100g / Per 100ml||A serving contains|
Does hamburger lose calories when cooked?
" Cooking and draining ground beef significantly reduces fat and calorie content," Dr. "During cooking, both moisture and fat content decrease within the meat. On average, 4 ounces of lean raw ground beef becomes 3 ounces (about 85 grams) of cooked meat," Dr. Garden-Robinson said.
Is ground beef bad for weight loss?
Ground beef: a complete protein In fact, research shows that moderately improving your protein intake can be an effective way to help manage weight, and that protein from meat had an even greater effect on weight loss than plant protein, such as protein from nuts and beans.
Can you eat beef burgers on keto?
Bring on the burgers. It's not too good to be true—ground beef is totally keto -approved! The low-budget meat you know and love can be incorporated into so many keto recipes whether you 're in the mood for Mexican, meatloaf, or maybe a little pasta action (with zoodles, of course).
Is a plain hamburger healthy?
While burgers are good sources of protein, iron and vitamin B12, they come with a lot of problems, according to nutrition experts—particularly the fatty meat, sugary ketchup and refined grain buns. The new survey did find that even burger lovers know they could choose a healthier sandwich.
What is a serving of ground beef?
Beef gives your body more of the nutrients you need. A 3 oz. serving of lean beef provides the following nutrients in about 150 calories: Ground Beef can be purchased in a variety of leaness options.
Are burgers full of protein?
Ground beef is a great source of iron, selenium, and B vitamins. Choose from cuts like 70, 80, 85, and 95 percent lean—though the leaner the meat, the less juicy and flavorful your burger. Regardless of cut, you'll get about 20 grams of protein, says Christine Rosenbloom, Ph.
Why beef is bad for you?
Eating too much red meat could be bad for your health. Sizzling steaks and juicy burgers are staples in many people's diets. But research has shown that regularly eating red meat and processed meat can raise the risk of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and certain cancers, especially colorectal cancer.
What meat has the most protein?
The following chart list examples of foods that contain protein. Meat, poultry and fish.
|Food||Serving size||Protein grams|
|beef (ground, lean)||3 ounces||21|
|chicken breast (cooked)||3 ounces||26|
|cod (Atlantic)||3 ounces||19|
|haddock (smoked)||3 ounces||21|
How many calories are in a 80/20 burger?
Less shrinkage, too. What the Ratios Mean: The ratio is percentage by weight. Fat is higher in calories than protein, so a 4-ounce raw 80/20 beef patty has 285 calories, versus a 90/10 patty, which has 200 calories.
Should you drain ground beef for spaghetti?
You should drain the ground beef to remove any excess grease. If you don't the grease will pool on top of your sauce.
How can I make ground beef healthier?
There's a simple and, in my opinion, quite profound way to reduce the fat content in ground beef by 50 percent! Just rinse the fat off. The other awesome thing – rinsing and draining ground beef washes away the fat without decreasing the vitamins and minerals or messing up the flavor.

How to Calm a Hyper Overactive Dog

Overactive dogs need a fun outlet.
Image Credit: Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
If your dog becomes so excited when you return home that he can't settle down, all the while jumping, licking, barking or even urinating from excitement, you have a hyper overactive dog. Other signs of a hyper dog include lunging while walking on a leash, tail chasing and needing constant attention and activity. Hyper behavior isn't good for your dog; it signals boredom and lack of stimulation, says Cesar Millan on his website Cesar'sWay. This behavior can wear you out, but you can take steps to calm a hyper overactive dog.
Treat Any Medical Causes
Your dog might be hyperactive because of a medical reason. You should first take your overactive dog to a veterinarian to rule out any medical reasons, especially if this behavior is new. If your dog has a medical condition, you would need to treat it instead of trying a behavioral approach. Some medical conditions that cause a dog to be hyper include anxiety disorder, hyperthyroidism, allergies or cognitive decline, says veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker in The Huffington Post.
Provide Outlets
Some breeds, such as the Jack Russell terrier, are bundles of energy. Whether you have a naturally hyperactive breed or you just have an overactive dog, provide outlets for your dog to expend some of his energy. You can engage in vigorous daily interactive playtime with your pup, such as throwing a ball or stick, going to a dog park or playing tug of war. Long walks are good to help burn off excess energy as is agility training and other dog sports such as swimming. When your dog burns off energy, he has an easier time relaxing, says Millan.
Create a Calming Environment
Excitable and hyper dogs often respond to their environment. Create a calm and structured environment by setting up routines for when your dog eats, goes outside and naps coupled with daily exercise and training, and you can calm an excitable dog. You can make a hyper dog more overactive when you do the wrong things. For example, if you respond to the hyperactivity by restraining, chasing or yelling at the dog, you can escalate the excitement, says Pat Miller, dog trainer and author of "The Power of Positive Dog Training" in The Whole Dog Journal.
Set Up a Routine
If you want your bundle of energy to settle down at night, set up a routine that leads to sleep. Your routine could be that you sit with your dog while you watch TV or read a book. Maybe this quiet time includes brushing your dog. Then, when it's time for bed, turn off the TV or the lights, and say, "bedtime" or another similar phrase, and then direct your dog to her bed.
Try Calming Remedies
Aromatherapy works on dogs as it does on humans. After all, dogs have an excellent sense of smell. Lavender essential oil can soothe dogs, says registered aromatherapist Lisa M. Browder in The Bark. Other oils that calm an agitated dog include petitgrain, marjoram, vativer and sweet orange.

The value of future opportunities: comparison of information technology firms and forest companies
Kärri, Timo (1998)
Aineistoon ei liity tiedostoja.
There are several alternatives for valuing the future opportunities of firms. The traditional appraisal methods for single projects such as net present value, internalrate of return and payback rules have been criticized in recent years. It has been said that they do not take into account all growth opportunities of firms. At the company level, business valuation is traditionally based on financial and market information. Yield estimates, net worth values and market values of shares are commonly used. Naturally, all valuation methods have their own strengths and shortcomings. In the background of most estimation rules there is the idea that the future of the firms is quite clear and predictable. However, in recent times the business environment of most companies has changed to a more unpredictable direction and the effects of uncertainty have increased. There has been a growing interest in estimating the risks and values of future possibilities. The aim of the current paper is to describe the difference between the value of futureopportunities in information technology firms and forest companies, and also toanalyse the backgrounds for the observed gap.

Demersal animals live on or near the bottom of the sea or lakes.[1] The term is usually applied to fish.
They occupy the sea floors and lake beds, which usually consist of mud, sand, gravel or rocks.[1] In coastal waters they are found on or near the continental shelf, and in deep waters they are found on or near the continental slope or along the continental rise. They are not generally found in the deepest waters, such as abyssal depths or on the abyssal plain, but they can be found around seamounts and islands. The word demersal comes from the Latin demergere, which means to sink.
Demersal fish are bottom feeders. They can be contrasted with pelagic fish which live and feed away from the bottom in the open water column. Demersal fish fillets contain little fish oil (one to four percent), whereas pelagic fish can contain up to 30 percent.

How To Fix Kernelbase.dll Not Found or Missing Errors
A Troubleshooting Guide for Kernelbase.dll Errors
Kernelbase.dll Error Message
Kernelbase.dll Error Message.
Kernelbase.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the kernelbase DLL file.
In some cases, kernelbase.dll errors could indicate a registry problem, a malware issue, like a virus infection, or even a hardware failure.
There are several ways that kernelbase.dll error messages might be phrased depending on the cause of the problem. Here are some common kernelbase.dll errors:
Kernelbase.dll Not Found
The file kernelbase.dll is missing.
This application failed to start because kernelbase.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Cannot find [PATH]\kernelbase.dll
Cannot start [APPLICATION]. A required component is missing: kernelbase.dll. Please install [APPLICATION] again.
Kernelbase.dll error messages might appear while using or installing certain programs, when Windows starts or shuts down, or maybe even during a Windows installation.
Noting at what point your kernelbase.dll error shows up is an important piece of information that will be helpful during troubleshooting.
The kernelbase.dll error message could apply to any program or system that might utilize the file on any of Microsoft's operating systems including Windows 10Windows 8Windows 7Windows VistaWindows XP, and Windows 2000.
How To Fix Kernelbase.dll Errors
Important: Do not download kernelbase.dll from one of those DLL download sites.
There are many reasons why downloading a DLL file is a bad idea. If you need a copy of kernelbase.dll, it's best to obtain it from its original, legitimate source.
Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the kernelbase.dll error.
 1. Restore kernelbase.dll from the Recycle Bin. The easiest possible cause of a "missing" kernelbase.dll file is that you've mistakenly deleted it.
 If you suspect that you've accidentally deleted kernelbase.dll but you've already emptied the Recycle Bin, you may be able to recover kernelbase.dll with a free file recovery program.
 Important: Recovering a deleted copy of kernelbase.dll with a file recovery program is a smart idea only if you're confident you've deleted the file yourself and that it was working properly before you did that.

 2. Scan your entire computer for viruses and other malware. Some kernelbase.dll errors could be related to some kind of malware infection on your computer that has damaged the DLL file.
 It's even possible that the kernelbase.dll error you're seeing is related to a hostile program that's masquerading as the file.

 3. Execute the sfc /scannow command to replace a missing or corrupt copy of the kernelbase.dll file.
 Fortunately, the kernelbase.dll file is provided by Microsoft in at least some versions of Windows so the System File Checker tool (the sfc command) should restore it.
 Important: This is the most likely solution to a missing or not found kernelbase.dll error. Please make every effort you can to complete this step after making sure your computer isn't infected with malware.

 1. Use System Restore to undo recent system changes. If you suspect that the kernelbase.dll error was caused by a change made to an important file or configuration, and System File Checker didn't help, a System Restore should solve the problem.

 2. Update the drivers for hardware devices that might be related to kernelbase.dll. If, for example, you're receiving a "The file kernelbase.dll is missing" error when you play a 3D video game, try updating the drivers for your video card.
 Note: The kernelbase.dll file may or may not be related to video cards - this was just an example. The key here is to pay very close attention to the context of the error and troubleshoot accordingly.

 1. Roll back a driver to a previously installed version if kernelbase.dll errors began after updating a particular hardware device's driver.

 2. Install any available Windows updates. Many service packs and other patches replace or update some of the hundreds of Microsoft distributed DLL files on your computer. The kernelbase.dll file could be included in one of those updates.

 3. Repair your installation of Windows. If the individual kernelbase.dll file troubleshooting advice above is unsuccessful, performing a Refresh, Startup Repair, or Repair Installation (depending on your version of Windows) should restore all Windows DLL files to their working versions.

 4. Use a free registry cleaner to repair kernelbase.dll related issues in the registry. A free registry cleaner program may be able to help by removing invalid kernelbase.dll registry entries that might be causing the DLL error.
 Important: I rarely recommend the use of registry cleaners. I've included the option here just in case it turns out to be helpful, in which case you could avoid the more difficult testing and last-resort options below.

 5. Test your memory and then test your hard drive. I've left the majority of hardware troubleshooting to the last step, but your computer's memory and hard drive are relatively easy to test and are the most likely components to cause kernelbase.dll errors as they fail.
 If the hardware fails any of your tests, replace the memory or replace the hard drive as soon as possible.

 6. Perform a clean install of Windows. A clean install will erase everything and install a fresh copy of Windows. If none of the steps above correct the kernelbase.dll error, this should be your next course of action.
 Important: To be clear, all the data on the drive you have Windows installed on will be deleted during a clean install so be sure to backup important files if you're able to. Obviously, make sure you've made every attempt possible to fix the kernelbase.dll error using a troubleshooting step prior to this one before you take on a clean install.

 7. Troubleshoot for an unknown hardware problem if any kernelbase.dll errors persist.
 A clean install of Windows is a fresh start on the software-side of the troubleshooting. So, unfortunately, if that didn't work, your DLL problem must be hardware related.
Need More Help?
See Get More Help for information about contacting me on social networks or via email, posting on tech support forums, and more. Be sure to let me know the exact kernelbase.dll error message that you're seeing and what steps if any, you've already taken to fix the problem.
If you're not interested in fixing this problem yourself, even with help, see my How Do I Get My Computer Fixed? piece for a full list of your support options, plus help with everything along the way like figuring out repair costs, getting your files off, choosing a repair service, and a whole lot more.

Chicken wire (chemistry)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Buckminsterfullerene "Bucky Ball" with a chicken wire-like chemical structure
Chicken wire
In chemistry the term chicken wire is used in different contexts. Most of them relate to the similarity of the regular hexagonal (honeycomb-like) patterns found in certain chemical compounds to the mesh structure commonly seen in real chicken wire.
Examples[edit]
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons[edit]
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or graphenes—including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphite—have a hexagonal structure that is often described as chicken wire-like.[1][2][3]
Hydrogen bonded (dashed) complex between melamine (blue) and cyanuric acid (red)
Hexagonal molecular structures[edit]
A hexagonal structure that is often described as chicken wire-like can also be found in other types of chemical compounds such as:
Hydrogen-bonded "chicken wire" of boric acid.
A molecule drawn in "chicken wire notation". This molecule is named tetrahydrocannabinol and is found in Marijuana.
Additional information[edit]
Bond line notation[edit]
The skeletal formula is a method to draw structural formulas of organic compounds where lines represent the chemical bonds and the vertices represent implicit carbon atoms.[9] This notation is sometimes jestingly called chicken wire notation.[10][11][12]
Placeholder for organic compounds[edit]
Chicken wire is sometimes used as a placeholder name for any organic compound, similar to the use of the name John Doe.[citation needed]
Chemical structure of the fictional molecule 1,2-dimethyl-chickenwire
Chemical joke[edit]
It is an old joke in chemistry to draw a polycyclic hexagonal chemical structure and call this fictional compound chickenwire. By adding one or two simple chemical groups to this skeleton, the compound can then be named following the official chemical naming convention. Examples are:
A "chicken wire surface plot" of an organic molecule
Surface plots[edit]
In computational chemistry a chicken wire model or chicken wire surface plot is a way to visualize molecular models by drawing the polygon mesh of their surface (defined e.g. as the van der Waals radius or a certain electron density). [13]

Ig Nobel prize for UC Davis Ophthalmologist
|Schwab, who delivered his acceptance speech wearing this woodpecker headdress, received the Ig Nobel prize for authoring "Cure for a Headache," a study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.|
When your daily routine involves slamming your head against a tree, you might expect to get an occasional headache. Such could be the fate of woodpeckers as they search for worms, grubs and insects.
However, woodpeckers experience no ill effects from their head-banging ways and, for explaining why, UC Davis ophthalmology professor Ivan Schwab was chosen for the 2006 Ig Nobel Prize in ornithology. He received the award at Harvard University.
A parody of the Nobel Prizes, the Ig Nobel Prizes are awarded annually for 10 achievements that "first make people laugh, and then make them think." Bestowed by the scientific humor journal Annals of Improbable Research, the awards are intended to "celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative and spur people's interest in science, medicine and technology." This is the first year that the journal has awarded a prize in ornithology. In keeping with tradition, six genuine Nobel laureates presented this year's Ig Nobel Prizes.
Schwab, who delivered his acceptance speech while wearing a woodpecker headdress, received the prize for authoring "Cure for a Headache," a study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology in 2002. He shared the prize with the late psychiatrist Phillip R.A. May, whose previous research formed the basis for the study written by Schwab.
In addition to accepting his Ig Nobel Prize on Oct. 5, Schwab, along with the other award winners, took part in the Ig Informal Lectures on Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At this event, the prizewinners delivered five-minute lectures in which they "attempted to explain what they did, and why they did it," followed by questions from the audience.
Woodpeckers interested May and Schwab because the birds do not experience retinal detachments, brain damage and spinal cord injuries, damage that one would expect as a result from the birds' repeated hammering. In his study, Schwab noted that North America's largest woodpecker may strike a tree at the rate of 20 times a second and up to 12,000 times a day, with forces as high as 1,200 g's with each impact.
"That is equivalent to striking a wall at 16 miles an hour — face first — each time," Schwab wrote.
|Schwab has a special interest in comparative ophthalmology, a field in which he and others examine how insects, birds, reptiles and other nonhuman animals process images.|
In his research, May found that woodpeckers have evolved several unique mechanisms that prevent them from inflicting harm upon themselves. Among them are a thick, bony skull with relatively spongy bone, and cartilage at the base of the mandible (lower jaw bone) that partially cushions the incessant blows. The mandibles are attached to the skull by powerful muscles that contract a millisecond before each strike, creating a tight but cushioned structure at the moment of impact and distributing the force of the blow to the base and posterior regions of the skull, thus bypassing the brain.
Schwab has a special interest in comparative ophthalmology, a field in which he and others examine how insects, birds, reptiles and other nonhuman animals process images.
"In fact, many advances in optics and high-tech instrumentation have come from comparative ophthalmology," Schwab said. For example, he said, studies in the 1970s of the square-shaped facets of the surface of the eyes of lobsters are being used in the development of X-ray optics, including X-ray lithography and X-ray telescopes used in outer space. Also, studies of woodpeckers' thick skulls have provided insight into protecting humans from head injuries.
Schwab, who specializes in disorders of the cornea, helped develop a bioengineered corneal transplant procedure that restored or improved eyesight in patients suffering from severe corneal damage. The technique involves growing replacement cornea tissue in a laboratory dish. Ultimately, the technique may allow tissue engineers to produce readily available, "off-the-shelf" cornea replacements that can be easily transplanted into patients with severe cornea damage.
Among the past Nobel laureates who presented the 2006 Ig Nobel Prizes are Roy Glauber, Physics, 2005; Dudley Herschbach, Chemistry, 1986; International Atomic Energy Agency spokesperson Melissa Fleming, Peace, 2005; William Lipscomb, Chemistry, 1976; Rich Roberts, Physiology or Medicine, 1993; and Frank Wilczek, Physics, 2004.

How to give goats a healthy and balanced diet
If you're a goat owner, you know that goats are some of the most versatile and hardy animals. They can be used for milk, cheese, fiber, and even as pack animals. But to keep your goats healthy and productive, it's important to ensure they get a nutritious diet.
Let's take a look at some of the best foods to include in your goat's diet and how to make sure they're getting all the nutrients they need.
Goats are browsers, not grazers like cows. This means they prefer to eat leaves and vegetation rather than grass. When crafting a diet for your goats, it's important to include plenty of roughage like hay and leafy greens. In addition to hay, good choices for Greens include beet greens, dandelion greens, kale, Swiss chard, and turnip greens.
Fruits and vegetables
You can also feed your goats fruits and vegetables as treats. Some favorites include carrots, apples, bananas, melons, and pumpkins. Just be sure to avoid feeding them anything from the nightshade family, like tomatoes or potatoes, as these can be poisonous to goats.
In addition to hay and fresh greens, goats also need a source of protein. This can be provided by feeding them legumes like alfalfa pellets or soybean meal. You can also supplement their diet with grains like oats or barley. It's important to avoid feeding your goats too much grain, as this can lead to health problems like bloat.
Finally, don't forget water. Goats need access to clean water at all times. If you live in a hot climate or your goats are actively working or milking, they'll need even more water to stay hydrated. Offer them fresh water several times daily and ensure their watering trough is clean and debris-free.
Can goats eat broccoli – final thoughts
In conclusion, yes, goats can eat broccoli. However, you should feed it to them in moderation and cook it first to make sure they can digest it properly. By following these guidelines, you can rest assured knowing that your goat is getting the nutrients they need from its food.


OmniHTTPD File Corruption and Command Execution Vulnerability
OmniHTTPD is a compact Windows based web server by Omnicron Technologies. OmniHTTPD has various features including multiple domain support, keep-alive connections, supports virtual IP and non-IP servers and standard CGI support.
Due to the implementation of'statsconfig.pl' multiple vulnerabilities exist in OmniHTTPD. It is possible to corrupt various known filenames and execute arbitrary commands. By appending a known filename to the 'cgidir' form variable accompanied with a null argument, the known filename will be corrupt. In addition, it is possible to execute commands on the target server. This is due to statsconfig.pl creating a perl script on the file. When the perl script is created, user supplied data (the mostbrowsers form variable if it is present) is written directly to the perl script file. If an attacker sets this value to semi-colon separated perl commands, they will be executed when statsconfig runs the script. This can result in an attacker gaining interactive access on the victim host with the privilege level of the webserver/cgi process.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to complete comprimise of the host or denial of service.

In addition, cyclic tests were also carried out on full-scale single and coupled X-Lam wall panels with different configurations and mechanical connectors subjected to lateral force. An advanced non-linear hysteretic spring to describe accurately the cyclic behaviour of
connections was implemented in ABAQUS finite element software package as an external subroutine. The FE model with the springs calibrated on single connection tests was then used to reproduce numerically the behaviour of X-Lam wall panels, and the results were compared with the outcomes of experimental full-scale tests carried out at IVALSA. The developed model is suitable for evaluating dissipated energy and seismic vulnerability of X-Lam structures.

text: What distinguishes the World Bank from commercial banks and bilateral aid agencies is its wealth of development knowledge gained through economic and social development projects in the world. However, notwithstanding the efforts of the knowledge centers in consolidating information from the staff, much of the available development information is currently scattered across numerous documents and reports. To retrieve a desired piece of information, the current Knowledge Management System provides users with a powerful Web-based full-text search engine that allows them to perform a key-word search. A problem with the key-word search is that the users should be able to articulate exactly what they want. In addition, as the amount of available information increases, the searches would invariably lead to retrieval of more and more documents and one may need to perform many searches. This paper outlines a case-based approach to enhance the current system and raise its operational impact. This approach establishes a unified framework to represent the development knowledge and provides a better search and browsing mechanism to retrieve relevant and useful information.


text: Commonly referred to as Birch (Betula Alba), the leaves and bark from which the extract is derived come from the Birch Tree. Birch is known for its purifying and detoxifying effects. The plant encourages the excretion of fluids and promotes metabolic activities. Birch has cleansing properties with a large number of minerals and microelements along with vitamins C and B that moisturize and soften skin. Birch extract has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, astringent and tonic effects, therefore it is used for hair loss, dandruff and scalp itching treatment. Birch normalizes sebum output thus normalizing hair greasiness, toning up hair and making it shiny and elastic.


text: With the increasing demands of energy efficiency and environment protection, composite materials have become an important alternative for traditional materials. Composite materials offer many advantages over traditional materials including: low density, high strength, high stiffness to weight ratio, excellent durability, and design flexibility. Despite all these advantages, composite materials have not been as widely used as expected because of the complexity and cost of the manufacturing process. One of the main causes is associated with poor dimensional control. General curved composite parts are often used as the structural components in the composite industry. Due to the anisotropic material nature, process-induced dimensional variations make it difficult for tighttolerance control and limit the use of composites. This research aims to develop a practical approach for the design of general curved composite parts and assembly. First, the closed-form solution for the process-induced dimensional variations, which is commonly called spring-in, was derived. For a general curved composite part, a Structural Tree Method (STM) was developed to divide the curve into a number of pieces and calculate the dimensional variations sequentially. This method can be also applied to an assembly of composite parts. The approach was validated through a case study. The method presented in this paper provides a convenient and practical tool for the dimensional and tolerance analysis in the early design stage of general curved composite parts and assembly, which is extremely useful for the realization of affordable tight tolerance composites. It also provides the foundation of Integrated Product/Process Development (IPPD) and Design for Manufacturing/Assembly (DFM/DFA) for composites.

Background for the curious reader:
An ordinal $\beta$ is a transitive set in the sense that $\alpha\in\beta$ implies $\alpha\subset\beta$. Any ordinal is naturally well-ordered under $\in$ (so any subset of it has a least element), and any well-order is isomorphic to an ordinal. In fact, any class (naively, collection) of ordinals is itself well-ordered under the relation $\in$. This fact allows for the usage of transfinite induction and transfinite recursion.
We have three types of ordinals: the empty set $0=\emptyset=\{\}$, successor ordinals $S(\alpha)=\alpha\cup\{\alpha\}$ where $\alpha$ is an ordinal, and limit ordinals, which are all the other ones. Finite ordinals are either $0$ or successors, the set $\omega=\{0,1,2,\dots\}$ is a limit ordinal. A limit ordinal $\alpha$ has the property that $\alpha=\sup_{\beta<\alpha}\{\beta\}=\bigcup_{\beta<\alpha}\beta$.
My question
Ordinal arithmetic can be defined recursively as follows:
 1. $\alpha+0=\alpha$, $\alpha+S(\beta)=S(\alpha+\beta)$, $\alpha+\sup_{\gamma<\beta}\{\gamma\}=\sup_{\gamma<\beta}\{\alpha+\gamma\}$;
 2. $\alpha\cdot0=\alpha$, $\alpha\cdot S(\beta)=\alpha\cdot\beta+\alpha$, $\alpha\cdot\sup_{\gamma<\beta}\{\gamma\}=\sup_{\gamma<\beta}\{\alpha\cdot\gamma\}$;
 3. $\alpha^0=1$, $\alpha^{S(\beta)}=\alpha^\beta\cdot\alpha$, $\alpha^{\sup_{\gamma<\beta}\{\gamma\}}=\sup_{\gamma<\beta}\{\alpha^\gamma\}$.
Alternatively, one can define:
 1. $\alpha+\beta$ is the unique ordinal isomorphic to the disjoint union $\{0\}\times\alpha\cup\{1\}\times\beta$ given the lexicographic order.
 2. $\alpha\cdot\beta$ is the unique ordinal isomorphic to the Cartesian product $\beta\times\alpha$ given the lexicographic order.
As the disjoint union and Cartesian product are simply the categorical coproduct and the categorical product, I wonder if there is some way to actually categorify these alternate definitions. Additionally, I am not aware of any non-recursive version of exponentiation, so I would be curious if a categorical formulation of addition and product of ordinals also allows for a categorical (hence non-recursive) formulation of exponentiation.
share|improve this question
What do you mean exactly by categorifying these definitions? What are you looking for? – Martin Brandenburg May 5 '13 at 10:58
I want the sum, product, and exponential to be objects in some category that includes all the ordinals, and which satisfy some universal properties in some category. The question is which category and which properties? – Vladimir Sotirov May 8 '13 at 20:15
Vladimir, just a thought: if we view ordinals as being elements of the skeleton category of totally ordered sets, perhaps coproducts of ordinals coincide with the usual ordinal sum. I could be wrong, though. Good question, by the way. – goblin Jul 1 '13 at 14:04

We can define $\alpha^\beta$ to be the order type of the set of functions from $\beta$ to $\alpha$ of finite support (finitely many non-$0$ function values), ordered in reverse lexicographic order--that is, if $f,g:\beta\to\alpha$ have finite support and are distinct functions, and if $\xi$ is the greatest ordinal in $\beta$ for which $f(\xi)\neq g(\xi)$, then we say $f

Two Alternatives for Future Development
The purpose of this document was to provide a master plan for a water distribution system to serve the potential developments outlined in the Land Use Study of South Jasper County. This Master Plan evaluates two alternatives for source water to South Jasper County; additional groundwater wells or master metered connections to the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority's (BJWSA) surface water supply.
At the time, potable water was supplied to South Jasper County by individual wells and the Levy-Limehouse Bellinger Hill (LLBH) Water Company. The LLBH water system consisted of two groundwater wells of 250 gpm each, one 150,000-gallon elevated storage tank and a distribution system consisting mostly of 8″ diameter pipe. The current system could supply approximately 720,000 gpd of water in most areas and does not
provide fire protection to all areas.
In this Master Plan, build-out water demands were derived, an upgraded water distribution system was developed and modeling was performed to determine the required improvements to the LLBH water system to meet the build-out water demands of South Jasper County. Models were run separately for each potential water supply source; new groundwater wells or BJWSA surface water supply. Recommendations and budget cost estimates were also included.
A land use study was also completed by Hussey Gay Bell in October 2004 for BJWSA to determine the possible future development in South Jasper County. The land use study used existing statistical information, tax maps, parcel data, interviews with current property owners, existing development guidelines and ordinances to identify potential development properties in South Jasper County that lie within the LLBH service area.

Insights on service system design from a normal approximation to Erlang's delay formula
Coauthor(s): Peter Kolesar.
We show how a simple normal approximation to Erlang's delay formula can be used to analyze capacity and staffing problems in service systems that can be modeled as M/M/s queues. The numbers of servers, s, needed in an M/M/s queueing system to assure a probability of delay of, at most, p can be well approximated by s ≅ p + z***I-p+, where z1-p, is the (1 - p)th percentile of the standard normal distribution and ρ, the presented load on the system, is the ratio of Λ, the customer arrival rate, to μ, the service rate. We examine the accuracy of this approximation over a set of parameters typical of service operations ranging from police patrol, through telemarketing to automatic teller machines, and we demonstrate that it tends to slightly underestimate the number of servers actually needed to hit the delay probability target—adding one server to the number suggested by the above formula typically gives the exact result. More importantly, the structure of the approximation promotes operational insight by explicitly linking the number of servers with server utilization and the customer service level. Using a scenario based on an actual teleservicing operation, we show how operations managers and designers can quickly obtain insights about the trade-offs between system size, system utilization and customer service. We argue that this little used approach deserves a prominent role in the operations analyst's and operations manager's toolbags.

Background: Although bone repair is a relatively efficient process, a significant portion of patients fail to heal their fractures. Because adequate blood supply is essential to osteogenesis, the authors hypothesize that augmenting neovascularization by increasing the number of circulating progenitor cells will improve bony healing.
Methods: Bilateral full-thickness defects were created in the parietal bones of C57 wild-type mice. Intraperitoneal AMD3100 (n = 33) or sterile saline (n = 33) was administered daily beginning on postoperative day 3 and continuing through day 18. Circulating progenitor cell number was quantified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Bone regeneration was assessed with micro–computed tomography. Immunofluorescent CD31 and osteocalcin staining was performed to assess for vascularity and osteoblast density.
Results: AMD3100 treatment increased circulating progenitor cell levels and significantly improved bone regeneration. Calvarial defects of AMD3100-treated mice demonstrated increased vascularity and osteoblast density.
Conclusions: Improved bone regeneration in this model was associated with elevated circulating progenitor cell number and subsequently improved neovascularization and osteogenesis. These findings highlight the importance of circulating progenitor cells in bone healing and may provide a novel therapy for bone regeneration.

Stress testing has become the risk management tool du jour in the wake of the global financial crisis. In countries where the information reported by financial institutions is considered to be of sufficiently good quality, and supervisory and regulatory standards are high, stress tests can be of significant value. In contrast, the proliferation of stress testing in underdeveloped financial systems with weak oversight regimes is fraught with uncertainties, as it is unclear what the results actually represent and how they could be usefully applied. In this paper, problems associated with stress tests using weak data are examined. We offer a potentially more useful alternative, the "breaking point" method, which also requires close coordination with on-site supervision and complemented by other supervisory tools and qualitative information. Excel spreadsheet templates of the stress tests presented in this paper are provided.

Windows device driver information for SP Serial 550 PCI
This hardware component is an expansion card which plugs into a vacant PCI slot on the computer motherboard to provide the host computer system with additional cabling possibilities for both serial and parallel interfaces. It is known as an adapter card which is capable of delivering data transfer rates of up to 115.2 kilobits per second depending on the capability of the attached hardware component. Like most devices which are installed internally it requires the corresponding extraction of its device driver which will make it both operational and functional. When properly installed in the host computer system it will be immediately detected upon reboot and will allow the underlying operating system to detect any device attached to its interface port. These types of hardware components are normally referred to as expansion cards because they supplement the existing functionality of the host computer system.
In terms of hardware functionality the SP Serial 550 PCI is designed to minimize if not completely eliminate the occurrence of bottlenecks during data transmission. Using the manufacturer provided device driver it can also address common problems that involve Interrupt Requests in the host computer system. Basically every hardware component is assigned a corresponding address and Interrupt Request which allows the underlying operating system platform to identify the attached devices. Sometimes when massive amounts of information is processed there can be bottlenecks when accessing these IRQs. The device driver of the SP Serial 550 PCI helps to avoid these instances by allowing the expansion card to take control of the data traffic for the devices attached to its ports. By handling the input and output traffic in a single card with high speed bidirectional interfaces the computer user gains a boost in the overall performance of the host machine. For older computer systems the computer user now has the ability of connecting external devices like modems, scanners, and additional printers among others. It is highly recommended you run a free registry scan for and SP Serial 550 PCI errors before installing any driver updates.

THE TECHNIQUE : SERAPE
The serape is a universally recognized symbol of Mexico - colorful and versatile, this beautiful textile has a rich history and tradition that continues today. Originally, serapes were intended as an inexpensive piece of outerwear, worn over the shoulders as a poncho or shawl. Serapes originated with the Chichimec people of Coahuila, in northeastern Mexico. Serapes are still made in that region today, but have made their way into modern Mexican culture and history.
The word "serape" refers to the traditional striped weave of the blanket, which is woven into the soft cotton on a hand loom. The vibrant colors are a result of hand-dying each fiber before weaving them together. The largest stripe is the primary color, and is complemented with smaller stripes throughout the weave. The vibrant colors and beautiful weaving reflect traditional Mexican techniques and the rich history that accompanies them.
Camaxtli is comprised of 13 artisans in San Bernardino Contla in Tlaxcala, Mexico. They masterfully weave beautiful serapes using traditional techniques and designs that originate from the community of Saltillo. Camaxtli helps these artisans find an outlet for their product and reach a broader audience. By making the serapes, the artisans are able to earn an income and preserve a cultural heritage that connects them to their roots.

text: Dissociation can be broadly understood as alterations in consciousness where integrated processing of psychological and/or sensory information is disrupted. Following Schumaker's (1995) suggestion that dissociation elicited by religions ritual provides the basis for religious beliefs, the current aim was to empirically assess the relationship between dissociation, religious ritual, and religious beliefs. Four samples with varying levels of religious commitment were administered the Dissociative Experiences Scale, the Francis Scale of Attitude Toward Christianity-short form, and the Maranell Religious Ritual Scale. Dissociation scores were highest in the young Catholic sample and lowest in the Fellowship group. However, these results are largely affected by the covariate of age. No relationship was found between dissociation, religious attitude, and religions ritual in the student sample. However, small to moderate significant correlations were found in the Catholic sample. Results are discussed with reference to Schumaker's theoretical proposal and directions are suggested for future assessment of the dissociation-religiosity relationship.

We publish a nominal damage threshold for most of our thermal BB sensors as 20KW/cm2. Other manufacturers may quote higher numbers than this. In actuality, in one to one tests against competitors, our sensors show a higher damage threshold but the actual damage threshold depends on the total power as well as the power density. For very low powers such as 30W, the damage threshold can be as high as 50KW/cm2 and at high powers such as 5KW, it drops to 3KW/cm2. The Ophir sensor finder program takes account of these variations in its calculations.
Power Meters FAQ's
The damage threshold of thermal sensors does depend on the power level and not only the power density because the sensor disc itself gets hotter at high powers. For instance, the damage threshold of the Ophir broadband coating may be 50KW/cm2 at 10 Watts but only 10KW/cm2 at 300W. The Ophir specifications for damage threshold are always given for the highest power of use of a particular sensor, something which is not done by most other manufacturers. This should be taken into account when comparing specifications. The Sensor Finder takes the power level into consideration when calculating damage threshold.
The damage threshold curve in the sensors catalog only goes down to 1ns but the energy damage threshold is similar for shorter pulses. You can use ½ of the ns value for fs pulses i.e. the absorber damages twice as easily.
Corrosion is caused by interactions between the metallic components of the sensor and the cooling water, which may contain a variety of dissolved ions. Many factors affect the risk of corrosion forming, but the most important are the pH and the mixture of ions in the water. For this reason, we recommend using neutral deionized water in a closed circulating system (pH between 6 and 8). Please note that deionized water is usually slightly acidic (pH 5.65) due to absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere. The cooling water can be neutralized by adding 5 ml of a 10 mM solution of NaOH for each liter of water in the cooling system.
To prevent corrosion it is also crucial to not allow standing water to evaporate inside the sensor when it is not in use. When disconnecting a sensor from the cooling system, the water channel should be cleared by blowing compressed air through it.
The commercial additive Optishield Plus is also recommended for systems such as ours that have copper and aluminum in them. It has the additional benefit of having biocides to prevent buildup of organic contamination.
For those customers still experiencing problems with corrosion, we recommend the new thermal sensor 1000WP-BB-34 which has a special design in which all materials that come into contact with the cooling water are either copper or nonmetallic.
After the Helios reaches the maximum temperature of 60° C (approx. 40 kJ of accumulated energy), it should take about 10 20 minutes for it to cool back down to room temperature. Therfore, use the temperature sensor as the indication of how many pulses can be measured
Whether RS232 or Profinet is used, there is a command to query the current temperature. The customer is responsible for integrating this into the measurement script and coordinating with the laser control to make sure the laser is not allowed to be measured when the temperature is over the limit. If using the PC application, one should select: Options > Log Temperature Enable. This will show the current temperature (and log it). If the temperature goes over the limit, it will turn red.
An example of this is the 10K-W, which uses a reflective cone to spread the beam before it reaches the absorber. Because of the way the 10K-W is built, a small beam in the center is spread out more than a large beam. A 10mm beam, for example, is spread out to about 5 x140mm = 7cm² a reduction in power density of 9:1 . A 45mm beam is spread out to about 22.5 x 140mm = 31cm². The power density of the 10mm beam is reduced 9 times, but the power density of the 45mm beam only goes down by about 2 times. This does not apply to sensors that don't have a cone reflector.
For the Ariel, we do not specify the "damage threshold" as such, and instead we give the table of recommended beam size and exposure time (near the bottom of the specifications page). This is the best way to define the operating parameters since the damage threshold is dependent on the exposure time for these types of measurements (where we are measuring powers that are much higher than what the sensor can measure in CW mode). So, the best way to avoid damage is to follow the specified guidelines for exposure times and beam sizes.

Japanese Koi are the most beautiful water specimens native to Japan. These are high-quality fish. Based on their color, patterns, and overall character, Koi remains. Along with this, there are certain common strains. Common strains associated is- Taisho, Showa, Sanke, etc.
Significance Of Japanese Koi:
Japanese Koi is often associated with luck or good fortune. It is said to bring abundance, perseverance, and success to all who own it. Along with its symbolic reference, it is a symbolic emblem of spirituality. But those Koi swimming downstream is said to bring bad luck.
The legend Of Japanese Koi:
According to the Japanese legend, the Japanese Koi is an incarnation of a dragon. If the Koi successfully reached the Yellow River, it transforms into a dragon. And, based on this legend, the Koi is a symbolic representation. It symbolizes worldly advancement and aspiration.
The Ideal Koi Set-Up:
The ideal layout format for a Koi is a pond. The pond must have almost 1000 gallons of water. Along with this, you also need rocks, substrates, and plants. Japanese Koi often eat the roots of plants. So the addition of stones prevents them from digging up the plants. Always provide adequate filtration to maintain their conditions.
Differential Features Of Koi:
Did you know that Koi live over 200 long years? But their life span is approx. 25 to 35 years. So, all-male Koi differentiate by an anal section. And the Koi spawn every 3 to 4 weeks. But the breeding depends on the temperature of the water source.
As mentioned. The Japanese Koi feeds mainly on the roots of plants. But you can feed them frozen daphnia. Then gradually, you move on to flake food and crushed pellets. Remember that these pellets don't exceed 30% of protein. The Koi develops colors only after 3 to 12 weeks of birth.
Interesting facts On Japanese Koi:
Despite having a spiritual reference, the Koi has many exciting features. Here are a few interesting facts about the Koi:
The Koi belong to the species Cyprinus carpio and are the native fish of Japan.
The approximate weight of the fish is 36 inches. But, few of these fishes vary accordingly.
These are omnivorous. Despite roots being their staple diet, they also feed on tiny fish. The Koi have no specific swimming levels.
The ideal pond layout is the freshwater source. You can also include rocks, plants, and substrates.
The approximate temperature conditions for your pond set-up is 36-90°F. Also, keep the pH value at bay. The pH maintains around pH 6.8-7.2. And the degree of hardness should be dH 2-12.
Remember that your pond capacity should be around 1,000 gallons of water. Do not exceed more than this; your Koi might die.
These fish are easy to breed. The Koi is easy and straightforward in terms of maintenance.
The reproduction cycle is via the egg stage. The Koi reproduce nearly thousands of eggs.

Assessment of Culprit Plaque Temperature by Intracoronary Thermography Appears Inconclusive in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes
This article requires a subscription to view the full text. If you have a subscription you may use the login form below to view the article. Access to this article can also be purchased.
Objective— Safety and feasibility evaluation of intracoronary temperature measurements in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) using a catheter based thermography system.
Methods and Results— Thermography was performed in 40 patients with ACS. A 3.5-F thermography catheter containing 5 thermocouples measuring vessel wall temperature, and 1 thermocouple measuring blood temperature (accuracy 0.05°C) was used. Gradient (ΔTmax) between blood temperature (Tbl) and the maximum wall temperature during pullback was measured. The device showed satisfactory safety in ACS. Only in 16 patients (40%) ΔTmax was ≥0.1°C. In 23 patients (57.5%) the highest ΔTmax was found in the culprit segment. ΔTmax between culprit and adjacent non-culprit segments was observed in patients with transient blood flow interruption during thermography (0.11±0.03 versus 0.08±0.01; P=0.04), in contrast to patients with preserved flow (0.07±0.03 versus 0.06±0.02; P=0.058).
Conclusions— The novel, technically sophisticated intracoronary thermography proved its safety and feasibility. However, we were not able to convincingly and consistently differentiate between different lesions at risk, despite a selection of lesions that should appear most distinct to differentiate. A systematic interruption of flow may be necessary to achieve diagnostic results consistently, although such requirement may unfavorably change the risk-to-benefit ratio of this developing technology.


Federal guidelines suggest communities determine why drivers are running red lights, instead of first installing red light cameras.
PINELLAS COUNTY, Florida - Acknowledging it had a safety problem at the intersection of Belcher Road and Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, the City of Clearwater chose to install red light cameras instead of other recommended safety countermeasures, as federal guidelines suggest.
Now, following the May death of 70-year-old retired police officer and crossing guard Douglas Carey, the city and state will make some of those improvements. They include better signage, repainting lines, additional school bus stops and a flashing yellow light - all of which can contribute to intersection safety.
But federal guidelines implore communities to try countermeasures before they resort to cameras, including an engineering study "to determine the factors contributing to red-light running and to identify appropriate countermeasures that could be implemented to reduce the number of crashes resulting from red-light violations. Once identified, the appropriate effective countermeasures (engineering, education, and enforcement) should be considered in addressing the crash problem."
Clearwater officials said they did not believe any studies or specific intersection improvements were made prior to the 2011 decision to add red light cameras at two intersections. Florida Department of Transportation officials say they had not studied the intersection either.
But the rush to install cameras is certainly not limited to Clearwater. The Florida Legislature's nonpartisan Office of Program Policy Analysis & Government Accountability (OPPAGA),released a report that indicated the problem is widespread:
"Although national and state transportation organizations strongly recommend the use of countermeasures, OPPAGA's survey results indicate that most (56%) respondents did not implement countermeasures prior to installing red light cameras."

Marching Cubes is a rendering technique that has many advantages for a lot of areas. It is a technique for representing scalar fields as a three-dimensional mesh. It is used for geographical applications as well as scientific ones, mainly in the medical industry to visually render medical data of the human body. But it's also an interesting technique to explore for the usage in computer games or other real-time applications since it can create some really interesting rendering.
The main focus in this paper is to present a novel hybrid solution using marching cubes and heightmaps to render terrain; moreover, to find if it's suitable for real-time applications. The paper will follow a theoretical approach as well as an implementational one on the hybrid solution.
The results across several tests for different scenarios show that the hybrid solution works well for today's real-time applications using a modern graphics card and CPU (Central Processing Unit).

Listen to war stories at the Fries Verzetsmuseum. Touching and confrontational stories that make you think.
War up close
Experience the impact World War II had on Friesland. In this museum, you will get to know the people that lived in Friesland in the early 1940s. Frisians and non-Frisians alike share their experiences of the war from the vantage point of the countryside of Friesland. They faced resistance and persecution but, luckily, did not have to deal with famine (Dutch famine of 1944–1945). However, Friesland saw many refugees that had traveled a long way to find milk and food.
Resisting the occupation
The museum focuses on topics such as the air war over Friesland, the resistance movement and hiding from the Germans. The history of the spectacular raid on the jail in Leeuwarden by the Frisian resistance plays a key role in the exhibition.

The 140 N-cm figure is for the motor, 3000 oz-in is for the output spindle. 1.4 N-m and 21 N-m in SI units.
Yes gears exchange torque for angular velocity whatever kind of motor you put them on!
Also how many steps are in 1 stepper motor rotation
Commonly 200, but you always read the datasheet.
and last of all, could a 428 oz-in or 1020 oz-in holding torque stepper motor lift a 4kg weight connected to the motor spindle 0.7m away from a vertical 115 degrees into the air.

In relational theory, we have Relations, Tuples, and Attributes, filling similar roles.
(Going a bit Celko here): Generally, the term Field fits into the terminology of Files and Records, and doesn't fit within DB naming.

Regional anticoagulation with heparin of an extracorporeal C
Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal is an increasingly used respiratory support technique. As is true of all extracorporeal techniques, extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal needs proper anticoagulation. We report a case of a patient at risk of bleeding complications who was treated with extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal and anticoagulated with a regional technique.
A 56-year-old Caucasian man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation required extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal for severe hypercapnia and acidosis despite mechanical ventilation. The extracorporeal circuit was anticoagulated using a regional heparin technique to limit the patient's risk of bleeding due to a low platelet count. The patient underwent 96 h of effective extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal without any adverse events. He was successfully weaned from extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal. During the treatment, no bleeding complications or unexpected circuit clotting was observed.

text: If the Metamorphoses can be said to have a protagonist, Jupiter, the king of heaven, is that protagonist. He is the first god on the scene in Book I as he encounters the impious Lycaon, and he is present at the end of the poem in the Book XV at the deification of Julius Caesar. Jupiter's frequent presence in the poem does not, however, mean that he is a character worthy of respect. In most instances, Ovid portrays Jupiter as foolish, rash, and lustful. Jupiter destroys the world out of anger at one man, he rapes countless women (Io, Europa, Callisto, and Semele, to name a few), and he constantly deceives his wife, Juno, whom he fears. When Jupiter does attempt to do good deeds, he bungles them. When he tries to defend Dis, for example, he tells Ceres that at least her daughter, Proserpina, was raped by a god with good lineage. Ovid's portrayal of Jupiter is sometimes comic and nearly always dark.

Immigrant Population In Barcelona: Residential Characteristics And Use Of Public Space
The arrival of numerous immigrant populations in the last decade is causing deep changes in the physical and social morphology of the Spanish cities. This population locates in specific areas of our cities and has distinct settlement patterns from those of the native population. Likewise, the characteristics of their housing and the use that they make of the public space are different from those of the rest of the population. In this paper does a characterization of the physical conditions of the dwellings where this population live and of the public space that the immigrants use and the social consequences that these challenges involve. The territorial area of the research is the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona. It has been developed in different neighborhoods of the RMB with different urban and demographic characteristics and with a high concentration of immigrant population. The methodology used has been a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques. First of all, a quantitative approach on the housing and the public space of the zone of studied has been made. Afterwards, different qualitative methods to study the results in depth (participant observation, interviews, analysis of photographies) have been used. Keywords: immigrant population, housing, public space, qualitative

What determines the CICSGLBL parms MONITOR value after CICS region is recycled?
Document ID : KB000045768
Last Modified Date : 14/02/2018
Show Technical Document Details
Summary:
This knowledge document details a usage scenario of the UTRPARM(CICSGLBL) MONITOR parameter and how to initialize it, and modify it after the CICS region is recycled.
Here is a scenario that was described by a user of the CA Mainframe Application Tuner (CA MAT):
The client was interested in finding out where the CICSGLBL parms were loaded from.
1. They changed UTRPARM(CICSGLBL) MONITOR from YES to NO and reran the TUNS transaction in a CICS region. Nothing changed, it stayed YES.
2. They then recycled the CA MAT address space and again ran the TUNS transaction with no change, it stayed YES.
3. They then recycled CICS and the PLT ran and the region came up with Monitor=NO, it changed to NO.
4. They then reran the CICS transaction TUNS and the TDQ showed Monitor=YES.
Here was their question: They want to know what is in place that allowed Monitoring to go back to YES if it was coded in CA MAT as NO and a recycle of CICS was also NO but when TUNS was entered it changed to YES?
Said another way: What has to be done if we don't initialize CA MAT from the CICS PLT?

Instructions:
From the list of scenarios in the Summary above:
1. When CICS region starts with PLT (TC00CPLT) and without SIT parameter
r'INITPARM=(TCnnFSET='SERVERID=xxxxxxxx')
where 'nn' is CICS release number
 'xxxxxxxx' is the MAT server name that it will get the CICS parameter
or with SIT parameter
'INITPARM=(TCnnFSET='SERVERID=xxxxxxxx')
but MAT server is not ACTIVE, internal programmatic CICSDFLT parameters are used.
The DEFAULT values are:
MONITOR=YES
MAXTRANS=2000
RESET_TRAN=TUNS
COLLECT_TRAN=TUNC
COLLECT=1
The messages in CICS MSGUSR would indicate it is 'CICSDFLT'.
2. When CICS region starts with PLT (TC00CPLT) and with SIT parameter
'INITPARM=(TCnnFSET='SERVERID=xxxxxxxx')
where 'nn' is CICS release number
 'xxxxxxxx' is the MAT server name that will get the CICS parameter

and MAT server is ACTIVE
and MAT server start with CICSGLBL
and there is no entry in CICSREGN for this CICS region
The values in CICSGLBL will be used and the messages in CICS MSGUSR would indicate it is 'CICSGLBL'.
3. When CICS region start with PLT (TC00CPLT) and with SIT parameter
'INITPARM=(TCnnFSET='SERVERID=xxxxxxxx')
where 'nn' is CICS release number
 'xxxxxxxx' is the MAT server name that it will get the CICS parameter

and MAT server is ACTIVE
and MAT server start with CICSGLBL
and there is a matching entry in CICSREGN for this CICS region
The values in CICSREGN will be used.
The messages in CICS MSGUSR would indicate it is 'CICSREGN'.
4. When CICS region start without PLT (TC00CPLT) and later would like to START CA MAT CICS exits, enter 'TUNS' (RESET TRAN) on a CICS terminal would set CICSDFLT parameter values.
enter 'TUNS serverid' on a CICS terminal would set parameters from this MAT 'serverid'
5. If CICS started with a set of parameter values and would like to change afterwards, you can change the parameters either in CICSREGN or CICSGLBL:
recycle MAT server,
enter 'TUNS serverid' on a CICS terminal
This would set parameters from this MAT 'serverid'. There is no need to recycle CICS. After you change the parameters and recycle CA MAT server, you can enter 'TUNS serverid' on a CICS terminal. This will change the parameter without a recycle of CICS.


Chaucer: The Nun's priests tale

"Chaucer offers a positive view of medieval life"/ Chaucer's view of medieval life is peppered with criticisms and negative perceptions of the daily routine"
Chaucer's view of medieval life was peppered with criticism and negative perceptions of the daily routine. Through the use of a fictional narrator Chaucer is able to tackle diverse topics such as politics and criticise human vices such as gluttony and pride. The use of a beast fable allows Chaucer to openly voice his criticisms of medieval life under the disguise of animals. He satirically mocks flaws in the church and in doing so introduces the theme of rich and poor.
Right from the opening prologue we are made to realise that the priest although a religious figure is presented in a lowly way as his horse is described as 'a jade' and as 'foul and lene,' whilst the monk is described as to have 'belles that on youre bridel hange on every side.'
It suggests that Chaucer is criticising the state of the convent stables and so indirectly the state of the church.
The contrast of these two characters is also important. The monk whilst rich seems far from god as he has bells along his saddle and so it can be concluded that he is vain as he is only interested in outward appearance. Yet the priests' horse is in a poor state and yet he seems perfectly contented. This introduces the theme of rich and poor which is a reoccurring theme in the poem.
Chaucer helps to emphasise the gap between rich and poor with his use of vocabulary. A 'bour' and 'halle' are parts of a castle which are associated with rich and noble people, yet Chaucer satirically uses them in his description of the poor widow. The widow leads a dignified...

Graduate STEM Fellow Profile
Timothy R. Morris
Thesis: Forbidden Subgraphs That Imply Certain Hamiltonian Properties
College/University: University of Colorado Denver
Research Advisor: Michael Ferrara
Degree Sought: Ph.D. Applied Discrete Mathematics
Department: Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences
Research Focus: Structures within graphs and what conditions will guarantee that those structures exist.
Description of Research
Given a family of graphs F, a graph G is said to be F-free if G does not contain any graph from F as an induced subgraph. G is hamiltonian if G has a cycle of length the order of G. G is pancyclic if G contains cycles of all lengths from 3 to the order of G. Thus the concept of pancyclicity is an extension of the concept of hamiltonicity. The concept of hamiltonicity has been extensively studied in terms of degree conditions, the relationship between connectivity and independence, and forbidden subgraphs. My research extends the forbidden subgraph condition to determine similar conditions that guarantee pancyclicity. For example, I have shown that graphs which are 4-connected, claw-free, and P10-free are pancyclic.
Example of how my research is integrated into my GK-12 experience
One example integrating my research into the classroom was a discussion of graph decompositions. I was able to define for the students a few types of graphs and discussed how to determine the minimum number of graphs of a particular type necessary to decompose another type of graph. This concept was then tied into molecular models and we discussed how this type of information could be used to determine physical properties of such molecules. This discussion showed students that mathematical modeling is useful for scientific understanding.

We study the effects of greenhouse gas emissions on optimum growth and environmental policy by using an expansion-in-varieties growth model with polluting non-renewable resources. Climate change harms the capital stock. Our main contribution is to introduce and extensively explore the naturally determined time lag between greenhouse gas emission and the damages due to climate change which proves to be crucial for the transition of the economy towards its steady state. The social optimum and optimal abatement policies are fully characterized. The inclusion of a green technology delays optimal resource extraction. The optimal tax rate on emissions is proportional to output. Poor understanding of the emissions diffusion process leads to suboptimal carbon taxes and suboptimal growth and resource extraction Show more
