VW Strain Gauge Q&A
Question: What checks can I perform on VW strain gauges.?
Answer: You can perform standard wire checks as follows:
1. Read the device with the appropriate VW indicator and check its frequency of oscillation against expectations. Note that some gauges will not perform unless they are welded to a surface.
2. Read the temperature device embedded in the unit which should typically yield a reading within a couple of degrees centigrade. Most VW sensors now have a thermistor.
3. Check for short circuits between cable leads and the metallic body on the gauge, and between circuits per the table below. This can be done with a digital multi-meter with ohms range of 20 megaohm. Do not use a high-voltage megger device as this can damage the gauge by breaking down insulation.
Question: How can I convert Hz readings of the spot-weldable strain gauge to microstrain?
Answer: This is covered in the manual for our spot-weldable strain gauge. You'll need acrobat reader to view or print this manual. You can also use the formula below:
microstrain value = 0._PHONE_ x SQ(Reading in Hz) + (-2030.1)
Note that these numbers work only with the VW spot-weldable strain gauge. They are not suitable for the arc-weldable or embedment strain gauges.
Question: For some time, our technician was recording readings from the VW spot-weldable strain gauge using the VWP Indicator's "microstrainVS" setting (rather than the correct "microstrainVW" setting. How can I convert these VS readings to the correct microstrainVW readings?
Answer: The data can be converted without too much difficulty. The main
problem is that the VS readings used a
Hz = SQRT(711.09 * VS + 6783) - 82.4 (where VS is the microstrainVS reading)
Then, to convert the result to the correct microstrainVW reading, use the formula below:
uStrain = (Hz^2 / 1320) - 2030.1
For your convenience, we've made an Excell worksheet that provides these equations. The file is called VS2VWmicrostrain. Note that is equation is just for use with the VWP Indicator. You'll need an UnZip utility to access the file.
Question: I am not using a Slope Indicator readout. How can a obtain a reading in degrees C from the RTD used in your sensors?
Answer: Our published instructions assume that users are reading these 2K ohm RTDs using Slope Indicator readouts or the Campbell Scientific CR10X with AVW1 or AVW100 vibrating wire interface. These instructions will not work with other devices.
If you are using another device, obtain a reading in K ohms. Then apply either
of the following polynomial coefficients to obtain degrees C:
Solution A: For a range of -10 to +30 C.
Ax2 + Bx + C, where
Ax5 + Bx4 + Cx3 + Dx2 + Ex + F
A = 0.95659

Greater Sand Elemental (3.5e Creature)
From D&D Wiki
GREATER SAND ELEMENTAL
When summoned to the Material Plane, an sand elemental consists of whatever types of sand, dust, ash it was conjured from. If summoned in magically enhanced sand, dust or ash, it gains the magical properties it contains. A sand elemental cannot enter water or any other liquid. A body of water is an impassable barrier unless the sand elemental can step or jump over it.
Sand elementals speak Terran but rarely choose to do so.
Sand elementals can be crafty. They use their amorphous ability to hide until unsuspecting opponents get within range for it to use its engulfing ability. Once engaged in combat, the sand elemental attempts to engulf as many opponents as possible before using its slam attack against other creatures.
Engulf (Ex): A sand elementalcan engulf a creature of one size category or smaller as a standard action. It cannot make a slam attack during a round in which it engulfs. The sand elemental merely has to move over the opponents, affecting as many as it can cover. Opponents can make attacks of opportunity against the sand elemental, but if they do so they are not entitled to a saving throw. Those who do not attempt attacks of opportunity must succeed on a DC 35 Reflex save or be engulfed; on a success, they are pushed back or aside (opponent's choice) as the creature moves forward. Engulfed opponents are considered grappled and are trapped within the sand elemental's body. The sand elemental automatically deals slam damage to trapped opponents each round after the one in which it engulfed them. Opponents that need to breathe risk suffocation. The save DC is Strength-based.
Amorphous (Ex): Sand elementalsare amorphous and can do anything sand would be expected to do—hide perfectly atop other sand, form into dunes and drifts, and pour through small openings (although passing through an opening two size categories smaller than the creature takes a full-round action). While hiding in areas with sand, they gain a +10 bonus to their SRD:Hide skill checks.
Sand Sift (Ex): An sand elemental can sift through sand as easily as a fish swims through water. Its sifting leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other signs of its presence. A move earth spell cast on an area containing a burrowing sand elemental flings the elemental back 30 feet, stunning the creature for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save.
Brownout (Ex): The dust cloud that surrounds a sand elemental produces a constant condition of brownout, a common side effect of sandstormsSandstorm. Creatures within 10 feet of a sand elemental take a –4 penalty on Dexterity-based skill checks, as well as Search, Spot, and any other checks that rely on vision. These effects end when the creature leaves the 10-foot area around a sand elemental. The sand elemental can suppress this ability and reactivate it as a free action.
Stifle (Ex): When a sand elemental strikes a living creature, some of the sand that forms its body forces its way into its opponent's mouth and nose, causing that creature to suffocate. The opponent must make an immediate DC 10 Constitution check, repeated each round with the DC increasing by 1 for each previous check, until it can clear the sand from its lungs. A stifled creature can clear the sand from its blocked airways by spending a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. When the opponent fails a Constitution check, it begins to suffocate.

See the light! – stay in the dark!
Did you know that the rural areas of Northumberland National Park and Kielder Water & Forest Park are some of the darkest in the country?
It is estimated that 85% of the UK population has never seen a truly dark sky or experienced the sense of wonder that a clear night crackling with billions of stars can give!
Sadly, however, the dark skies above rural Northumberland are under threat. Increased light pollution from nearby urban areas, as well as from our own street and outdoor lighting is beginning to threaten our ability to see the stars clearly – even in the darker corners of the National Park.
In light of this however, there is a genuine and growing interest in amateur astronomy and star gazing. Popular TV programmes like BBC's Stargazing Live and news coverage of recent sightings of the northern lights off the Northumberland coast have whipped up lots of interest.
To boldly go!
To tackle the issue of light pollution and to provide opportunities for the public to enjoy the night sky, the National Park Authority is embarking on an exciting journey itself.
The International Dark Sky Association (IDA) is the leading international organisation combating light pollution worldwide. The IDA awards the designations of 'Dark Sky Reserve' or Dark Sky Park' to those wild and remote places that demonstrate an ability to conserve the dark skies above them and are committed to providing opportunities for the public to enjoy them.
We believe that Northumberland National Park could become an International Dark Sky Reserve, making it only the second one in Europe.
We are not alone!
The National Park Authority is collaborating with Kielder Water and Forest Park, which is committed to becoming only the second International Dark Sky Park in Europe. With the superb facility of Kielder Observatory and its programme of star camps, it has already become one of the most popular attractions in Northumberland.
If we are both successful with our respective applications to the IDA, we will create the largest protected dark sky area in Europe and the second largest in the world!
We want to work with local communities to preserve their unspoiled night skies for the enjoyment of residents, for the tourism value to local businesses and for the benefit of future generations.
The timetable for consultation is not fixed; we recognise the need to discuss this designation properly with residents and Parish Councils over the next few months.

Business status of mao (antidesma spp.)
MetadataShow full item record
The aims of this research was to study the general situation in aspects of productivity and marketing of Mao fruits in Sakonnakon. Cost and return, marketing channel and marketing margin of Mao fruits were investigated during 2007–2008 using purposive sampling and descriptive analysis. Twelve gardeners who own the average 7 years Mao orchards in Pupan, Kudbak, Sawangdandin, Nikomnam-oon and Warichapoom District in Sakornnakon province informed that the productivity of Mao fruits was 750 Kg/annum in average. The average price of Mao fruits was 25 Baht/Kg. The net returns of Mao fruits was 7,216.89 Baht/rai/annum. Marketing channel of Mao fruits were fresh fruits eaten and used as raw material in fruit juice processing plants. The whole commodity of Mao in orchard was traded and distributed by middleman. Earnest money deposit was required. The price of Mao fruits was 25 -35 Baht/Kg for the processing plants. The profit was 9,104.50 Baht/ton or 36.41% of net income.

and then DoSomethingWithResult(task1.result) would be executed asynchronously each time Task1Action completes.
 Basically I would like to extend the current capabilities of Tasks to periodic actions, ideally making use of the TPL and not having to control all of the thread creation and management myself. However, I am open for suggestions, such as Tasks and the TPL not being the optimal solution.
 To clarify my requirements a bit more...
 - Each time a new 'data point' is requested by our client, an 'action' will be executed on a periodic basis by an object that is responsible for gathering that data and/or doing some further processing on it. This action is typically a very short running operation. (For the sake of not complicating the scenario any more, let's just say that all of that data is readily available on the client.)
 - We will have potentially hundreds/thousands of these 'data points' actively requested by a single client at any given time.
 - In most cases, the period in which to execute each action (specified by the client when 'registering' one of these actions) will be the same, e.g. 5 seconds. Every time that 5 second interval elapses, each of the actions with that given period should be executed.
 - The first time the action gets executed is not important, only that it executes at approximately the specified interval.
 - Clients need to be able to unregister/cancel their periodic 'action' at any time.
 We are thinking that creating potentially thousands of timers is not the correct solution since that is a lot of overhead. And, since it is not important when a given action first executes, our thinking is to have one timer for each period and then have some mechanism in place for executing all of the registered actions each time that interval elapses. We can consider these actions all independent and therefore we would like to make use of the TPL and execute the actions in parallel (to an extent based on max concurrency settings, etc.).
 From an API perspective, I would like the registering of each action to resemble creating/starting a new task since ideally we will be invoking the actions in parallel each time the interval elapses and potentially creating/starting tasks behind the scenes in order to do so. Looking into the different Task creation/starting options, the recommended option is to use Task.Factory.StartNew(...) "for perfromance reasons" and from the task returned from that call, you can provide a continuation task via ContinueWith() and so on. I would like our API to resemble this.
 - Hi Kyle-
 Sorry for my delay in responding.
 A key point here is that a Task can only complete once, so you want to create an API where handing out a Task represents one logical operation. That operation could of course have multiple subcomponents, but a Task can only transition from a non-completed state to a completed state once, and once completed, it'll remain completed. Given that, if you want to hand back a task to a consumer registering a periodic Action, it's not clear when you'd complete that task... you couldn't "complete" it each time the action ran, as that would be completing it more than once. It seems then you'd only be able to complete it if the action were ever canceled, and otherwise the action would remain registered "forever", and thus the task would never complete.
 Having hundreds or thousands of timers outstanding at a time should not be a problem (though perf of timers was made much better in .NET 4.5), but coalescing into time intervals as you state would also be fine.
 Regarding creating tasks, if you're looking to manually complete a task (e.g. create a task for an action, use a Timer to do processing, and complete the task at an appropriate time), you should be looking at the TaskCompletionSource<TResult> type, which allows you to use a Task to represent arbitrary operations.
 Alternatively, if you're looking for a type that would allow you to push back multiple signals to the caller, one for each time the operation runs, you might actually be better off with something like IObservable<T>, and then you could consider using Reactive Extensions to process all of these events coming back.
 Good luck.

The purpose of this prospective intention-to-diagnose pilot research was to evaluate the accuracy of serum and fecal amino-acids in distinguishing de novo juvenile inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from non-IBD children. Following laboratory tests or endoscopy, patients with suspected IBD were assigned to the IBD or non-IBD groups based on the updated Porto-criteria. Fecal calprotectin levels were measured, and a blood and fecal sample were taken. High performance liquid chromatography was used to examine the amino acid profiles of feces and serum.
There were substantial differences in nine fecal amino acids between IBD and non-IBD. There were no significant changes in serum. This study highlights the potential of fecal amino-acids as new, adjuvant noninvasive, and low-cost biomarkers in juvenile IBD diagnosis.

Slime People are a race of gelatinous and translucent beings from the vast oceans of the tropical world Xarxis 5.
Slime People and YOU
Greetings, esteemed crewmember!
In an effort to encourage inter-species cooperation and workplace efficiency, Nanotrasen has compiled a series of helpful guides on the various species that you may be working with!
(NOTE: If you are a member of the species this guide pertains to, please give it to the nearest crewmember of another species)
This particular guide refers to the species known as the Slime People.
Slime People Naming Schemes
Slime People utilize an unorthodox naming system that to this date lacks a traditional analogue or proper translation. As a result of the unusual pronunciation and characteristics of traditional names within Slime People society, many names are impossible to vocally reproduce for other species.
As a result of this language barrier and for the sake of simplicity, many Slime People choose an appropriate analogue in Galactic Common. Perhaps as a throwback to their unique physiology, many of the names chosen in Galactic Common include variations of phrases such as squish, bubble or pop.
Slime People Physiology
Slime People are made up of what appears to be a transparent jelly-like substance that varies in colour based upon the genetic predilection of the individual. Internally, Slime People possess a unique skeleton-like structure, while their overall Gelatin is similar to Ballistic Gel, the gelatins that compose this skeleton-like structure contain quintuple helixes of collagen instead of the common triple helixes, rendering the skeletal structure both extremely flexible and hard enough to offer support to the body. This renders their ability to stand as well to exercise strength. This unique skeletal structure, in combination with their gelatinous form, offers them a wide range of motion and flexibility, traits that were likely adapted due to the environmental conditions of Xarxis 5. Though this flexible "skeleton" is less sturdy than that of other species, their gelatinous exterior helps in supporting the body's overall balance as well.
Slime People have a central nervous system that operates via subtle vibrations from their slime core - an organ which effectively acts as the brain for an individual slime person. Due to this unusual internal system of communication, developments in new medical and therapeutic practices board Xarxis 5 heavily incorporate the use of ultrasound devices. Additionally, Slime People have the capability to change the shape of the gelatinous layer surrounding their head, lending them the capability to effectively change their facial expression. While Slime People naturally lack any sort of hair, this trait has been used to co-opt a variety of human hairstyles. Though the natural colour of any given Slime Person is a matter of genetics, it can be changed via the ingestion of dyes or certain chemicals.
Slime People don't have an inherent sex, but often assume a female or male gender and the associated accoutrements to adjust to the culture encountered aboard Nanotrasen facilities.
The Bubblish Language
Slime People traditionally communicate with a series of bubbling and popping sounds produced via the vibration of their cores. The nature of these sounds make it difficult if not impossible to successfully emulate the language through natural means. Direct translation has proven incredibly problematic without immense amounts of computing power thanks in part to Slime People's unique production of sound, along with the abstract structure of the language itself.
Despite widespread adoption of Galactic Common, Slime People still make heavy use of their native language. Fascinatingly, the native language of Slime People appears to be an innate characteristic rather than a learned one. The exact biological mechanism for this innate language is unknown and is a hot topic of debate among scholars.
Sadly, as Slime People were discovered in their infancy they appear to lack any form of standardized written version of their language. While many early writing systems appear to exist, they lack the structure and lexicon of more advanced written languages. This has lead to much of the treaties established with Slime People to be written in Galactic Common rather than their native script.
The Slime People Homeworld
Xarxis 5 is a lush, tropical world with large amounts of plant life and native fauna; the atmosphere of the planet largely consists of argon, with minute amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide. While the coastal regions show an impressive amount of biodiversity, Xarxis 5's most interesting features are its sprawling oceans - vast bodies of water that take up much of its surface and contain most of the world's species. Xarxis 5 has a single satellite in its orbit; an icy moon with indistinct features.
Perhaps the most notable feature of the planet is its highly elliptical orbit which leads to unstable periods of cooling and heating as the planet draws closer or further away from its star. As a result of this orbit, the plant and animal life living above the vast oceans are incredibly hardy, being resilient to both hot and cold periods. While the thermal mass of the oceans is significant and helps mitigate the effects of these hot and cold periods, Slime People still make routine mass migrations to different depths to better ensure their survival. Like other creatures on Xarxis 5, they enter into a hibernation-like state after ingesting large amounts of mass during the cold season and become more active in the hot season.
Thanks to the industrial expertise offered by Nanotrasen, the world of Xarxis 5 is slowly becoming more civilized, with small towns and cities now housing larger populations of the indigenous species. Prior to intervention by Nanotrasen, industry was extremely limited outside of very primitive workshops due to the migratory and hibernation patterns of Slime People. Now, factories are rapidly dotting the planet's surface and ocean floor, allowing for further development and industrialization.
A Brief History Slimeflag.png
Xarxis 5.png
Xarxis 5
Slime People, up until recently, lived in fairly isolated and primitive tribes. With agriculture being a recent adoption and Slime People traditionally being horticulturalists, their civilization was a long ways away from discoveries enabling wide-scale industrialization, let alone space flight.
In the year 2521, a small Nanotrasen probe discovered life in the Xarxis system, leading to the prompt establishment of formal communications with Slime People. Following a lengthy period of diplomatic talks, initially made difficult by the considerable language barrier, Nanotrasen established work agreements and began developing the first modern factories and mines on Xarxis 5. While there was limited amounts of local resistance (mostly due to isolated tribes), the establishment of Nanotrasen facilities on the planet's surface has been met with widespread approval.
The home world of the Slime People is presently managed by a provisional government on behalf of Nanotrasen and education and employment initiatives are ongoing. Laying the basic groundwork for setting up a competent bureaucracy, these initiatives are rapidly bringing the Slime People of Xarxis 5 up to galactic standards. In fact, the best and brightest from Xarxis 5 have already become scientists and employees aboard Nanotrasen facilities. Continued investment by Nanotrasen on Xarxis 5 has not only helped the local economy flourish, but has brought many of the disparate tribes of Xarxis 5 under the folds of the provisional government. While there are some isolated tribes who have been holdouts to these recent industrial advances, efforts are being made to contact and civilize them.
Slime People Culture
Slime People culture is traditionally a collective affair and tightly intertwined with the practice of horticulturalism. Commonly forming large and extended bands, the group is often more important than the individual. These bands come together during the hot seasons of Xarxis 5 to form larger tribes, cooperating during the hot, productive seasons and returning to their band structures during cooler periods.
The religious and cultural practices of Slime People almost ubiquitously feature references to the cyclical nature of things, likely inspired by the elliptical orbit of the world and the migratory patterns it has lead to. While there are no formal religious structures, traditional beliefs are tightly entwined with the metaphysical concept of a soul. Individual Slime People are commonly believed to house the spirits of their ancestors and carry them with them, both as guides and protectors.
While many Slime People still practice their traditional beliefs, tribal and band-like structures have started to break down with the introduction of agriculture and industry. Larger communities have begun to form due to new buildings that are capable of withstanding the planet's seasonal fluctuations. This in part has lead to a gradual abandonment of the old ways in favour of new amenities and opportunities.

Finding x number of duplicate items in a list
Given a list,
ls = [1,2,3,2,2,1,3]
How to identify if an item appears 3 times in ls and return it as a list? For example, the return would be [2,2,2] in this case.
1 Like
It's almost always in the Enum module… and this time, it's Enum.group_by.
It depends on what should happen if there's more than one element that appears 3 times. If we're looking for all of them, or just any one of them, then a solution with Enum.frequencies would be pretty slick.
BUT
If the requirement is for the FIRST element to be repeated three times, that doesn't work (maps do not retain order).
In that case, you might consider explicit recursion. Instead of just posting the code, here's a walkthrough of how you might derive similar code.
Start with an even simpler case: "does this list have NONE of this item?" There are several possibilities:
 - the first element of the list matches the item. The answer is false.
 - apart from the first element, does the rest of the list have NONE of the item?
 - an empty list always has NONE of the item. The answer is true.
This translates directly to Elixir:
 def has_no_item([first | rest], item) when first == item, do: false
 def has_no_item([_ | rest], item), do: has_no_item(rest, item)
 def has_no_item([], item), do: true
Now take a step closer to the goal: does this item appear EXACTLY ONCE? If so, return it as a list
Again, there are cases:
 - the first element of the list matches the item. If there are NONE of the item in the rest of the list, return the item wrapped in a list, otherwise return empty list
 - does the item appear EXACTLY ONCE in the rest of the list? If so, return it as a list
 - the item does not appear EXACTLY ONCE in the empty list, return empty list
That NONE function is useful here!
And the corresponding Elixir code:
 def has_one_item([first | rest], item) when first == item do
 if has_no_item(rest, item) do
 [first]
 else
 []
 end
 end
 def has_one_item([_ | rest], item), do: has_one_item(rest, item)
 def has_one_item([], _), do: []
Next we're headed to TWO. Similar cases appear:
 - the first element of the list matches the item. If item appears EXACTLY ONCE, prepend the first element and return. Otherwise, check if the item appears TWO times in the rest of the list.
 - the item appears TWO times in the rest of the list
 - the item does not appear TWO times in the empty list
And similar Elixir:
 def has_two_items([first | rest], item) when first == item do
 case has_one_item(rest, first) do
 [] -> has_two_items(rest, item)
 items -> [first | items]
 end
 end
 def has_two_items([_ | rest], item), do: has_two_items(rest, item)
 def has_two_items([], _), do: []
Finally we're ready for THREE, the thing we started looking for.
The cases are:
 - if the first element of the list appears TWO times in the rest of the list, prepend the first element and return. Otherwise, does the rest of the list have an item that appears THREE times?
 - the empty list does not have an element that appears THREE times
And the code:
 def has_three_items([first | rest]) do
 case has_two_items(rest, first) do
 [] -> has_three_items(rest)
 items -> [first | items]
 end
 end
 def has_three_items([]), do: []
One quick note: this implementation has a performance pitfall, can you spot it? Think about what would happen if has_three_items was given a looooooong list with exactly two copies of every element. That can be resolved by keeping more state when recursing, similar to how memoized Fibonacci massively outperforms naive Fibonacci.

Scientists Discover Bizarre And Alarmingly High Connection Between Cat Bites And Depression

A strange story published by the renowned scientific journal PLOS ONE recounts a discovery recently made by a research team. After combing through 10 years' worth of health records for more than 1.3 million people, the researchers came across a strong and peculiar pattern which links cat bites with depression.
41% of patients who were treated for cat bites had also been treated for depression, and 86% of these patients were women. The data also revealed that women who have been bitten by a cat have a 50% chance of being diagnosed with depression at some point. The authors of the study speculate three theories as to why this unusual connection is so prevalent:
THEORY #1 (DEPRESSED PEOPLE LOVE CATS WHICH BOOSTS THE ODDS OF CAT BITES): There is substantial evidence to suggest that pet ownership results in multiple health benefits, both physical and mental. For example, pet ownership has been shown to reduce elevated blood pressure caused by mental stress even better than antihypertensive medications. Pets can also provide substantial social support. A study in Switzerland reported that among people living alone, cats could improve their mood. As such, it may be that depressed individuals, especially women, are more likely to own cats for companionship.
THEORY #2 (CATS HATE BEING AROUND DEPRESSED PEOPLE SO THEY NEED TO BITE THEM): Some animals may bite more in response to changes in their owners' mental state or level of responsiveness. For example, depressed individuals often make less eye contact compared to those without depression. Some animals, such as dogs, horses, and pigs are known to respond to human social cues such as gestures, gaze, and focus. Even cats may respond to respond to pointing gestures and human gaze. One study reported that the type of activity being undertaken by a test subject had a large impact on a cat's behavior.
THEORY #3 (CATS ARE CRAWLING IN PARASITES WHICH ATTACK THE HUMAN BRAIN): Cats are a major carrier of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Studies have shown that the parasite is passed to humans via the cats' feces, and causes damage to the brains of the humans it infects. Infections from the parasite have been associated with self-inflicted violence as well as increased suicide rates in women. It has also been suggested that the inflammatory cytokines released during a T. gondii infection in the brain may be the cause of depression in some patients.
If I were to add a fourth theory it would read: "THEORY #4 (ALL OF THE ABOVE)". Furthermore, I would also note the fact that women cat owners are not alone in their suffering — I have observed very strange behavior in men who have been attacked by parasitic pussy as well. Strange behavior, yes, though not quite as strange as the woman in the following clip. If you want to see a demonstration of cat-owning gone coo-coo, check out Academy Award winning actress Melissa Leo in the following clip from the critically acclaimed film Francine. Every time I watch this I feel the need to stay as far away from cats as humanly possible.

There are different ways to weave spheres in chainmaille. You can weave triangles and stitch them together or make reductions of increasing frequency to get something fairly spherical, or you can wrap a spherical object with maille. These techniques work well enough given the appropriate weave as the rings will relax into an approximately spherical shape. But what if we want to make really small spheres, or really spherical spheres? What if we want a sphere that is hollow yet solidly rigid instead of flexible? In that case we need to use the right weave, ring, and material combination, and we also need to know the exact number of rings per row that will create a true sphere.
I once created a basket using the reduction method. It turned out nice and round, kind of hemispherical, but not exactly. The night after completing it, I dreamed and awoke with an epiphany! I had realized the math behind making a perfectly spherical chainmaille sphere, or at least as perfect as you can reasonably get. I owe my undergrad calculus teachers a debt of gratitude for teaching me how to set up calculus problems, because the sphere math is based on the way that you set up a spherical surface area calculation. Actually you can understand it with only trigonometry, no calculus required (whew). The math that caused a light bulb to turn on above my head is illustrated in the figure below.
I'll spare you the derivation details, but basically the four equations on the upper right are obtained from the drawing on the left, and when you solve them you get the equation in the box, which is repeated below:
m = ( 2*pi*r / (kh*d) ) * cos( (kv*d/r) * n )
where the variables are:
r is the radius of the sphere
d is the inside diameter of the rings
kh is the horizontal proportionality constant of the weave
kv is the vertical proportionality constant of the weave
n is the row index
m is the number of rings to put on the nth row.
The proportionality constants are a measure of how dense the weave is in each direction. Well, technically they are inversely proportional to ring density so they are a measure of how loose the weave is. Whatever. You find the proportionality constants for a given weave and ring combination by weaving a rectangular patch and then calculating how much of an inside diameter each ring spans. So the simplest possible weave, ordinary chain link, has a proportionality constant of exactly 1 because each ring spans one inside diameter. For a more practical explanation, let's say you are using 1 inch rings (for simplicity's sake) and you observe that it takes 20 rings to span 10 inches. Then your proportionality constant would be (10"/1")/(20 rings) which equals 0.5. Clear as mud? Good.
For an example we will use Kingsmaille (European 8 in 2) with 14 ga 3/8" rings. Because we are working with Kingsmaille, which is a double weave, we will call each double ring of the Kingsmaille a pair and do all our calculations in terms of pairs, not rings. Otherwise it gets even more confusing than it already is, sheesh! I have experimentally determined the values of kh=0.74 and kv=0.895 for this weave. We will make a three inch diameter sphere, so r=1.5". The inside diameter of the rings, d, is 3/8". Plugging these into the equation we get:
m = 34 * cos( n / 4.5 )
We start with the equator at n=0 and calculate m which is the number of pairs to weave into the equator. Then we increment n to 1 and solve for the number of pairs to weave into the rows that are adjacent to the equator. Then we do n=2, and so on until we get either zero or a negative number at which point we stop and discard that last value of m because it is non-physical. If we were to solve for theta and plug in those values of n, we would find that m=0 corresponds to theta equal to exactly 90 degrees, and negative values of m correspond to theta greater than 90 degrees. We are only interested in the region of theta from 0 to 90 degrees. The table for this example is shown below:
0 | 34
1 | 33
2 | 31
3 | 27
4 | 21
5 | 15
6 | 8
7 | 1
This means that we will make a sphere starting at the equator with 34 pairs, then weave rows above and below the equator that get smaller and smaller until we reach row 7 with 1 pair. That 7th row presents us with a problem: how is a row with only one pair going to look? It would be kinda weird to just have two rings on a row at each pole of the sphere. The solution is to adjust the radius of the sphere to a slightly smaller value than 1.5, say 1.45 for example. Then we get six pairs on the row six and a negative value for row 7. This will leave us with a circle of rings with a small hole at the poles of the sphere, and due to the tightness of the weave the rings will hold each other in place without the need for a specially sized ring to gather them together. I find that to be kinda kewl that it works out that way.
A sphere similar to the example sphere is shown below:
Obviously the sphere will have an odd number of rows. There is a different form of the equation for making a slight variation on the theme, spheres that have an even number of rows such that the equator actually lies on the joining boundary between two rows instead of the center of the largest row. The equation for a sphere with an even number of rows is:
m = ( 2*pi*r / (kh*d) ) * cos( (kv*d/r) * (2n+1) / 2 )
where you begin with n=0 as before, but n=0 corresponds to the two rows that surround the equator. Really, though, you wouldn't want to make a sphere with an even number of rows unless you had a special reason to do so. That's because for a European weave sphere, an odd number of rows allows you to weave the first three rows all at once using the ordinary way of starting a European weave. After that it's pretty much going to be ORAAT (One Ring At A Time), unfortunately. I suppose in special cases if you got to where you were mass-producing a specific sphere design, you could slip in some closed rings at the right locations between reductions, but aside from that it's ORAAT for spheres.
There are some details about the weaving technique that will help you make the most spherical sphere possible. These suggestions will help smooth out irregularities in the spherical surface. If you follow these instructions you will be learning from the mistakes of others, namely me, which will reduce the possibility of creating a useless jumble of rings instead of a spherical sphere.
First, you should space the reductions out as evenly as you can around the row.
Second, you should arrange the reductions so that they do not line up on adjacent rows. In fact, it's best if they do not line up on the row after that either.
Note that you can make slight adjustments to the sphere radius in the equation to create a rings per row table that works out better. For example, if you have three reductions on a row and five reductions on the next row, that is not very good because they are both prime numbers and therefore have no common factors. In other words, an equilateral triangle and a pentagon do not line up elegantly if you are trying to prevent their vertices from overlapping. Better would be a situation where you have three reductions on a row and six reductions on the next row because three divides into six and that means that things can line up nicely without overlapping reductions.
You can also "cheat" to make your rings per row table work out nicely by changing the number of rings on one or more of the rows. Although it is not mathematically kosher to add or subtract a ring or two on any given row, you may find that the overall roundness of the sphere is enhanced by doing this. It is especially useful for weaving really small spheres of very few rings. In any case, having things line up nicely is a lot easier when it comes to counting out ring positions and such.
It is possible to find spherical spheres with rings per row such that all of the reductions line up nicely like this, but that is rare. Try to at least get the poles of the sphere to line up well since you have less room to space out the reductions there. Also, when working with Kingsmaille, it is ideal for the last row to have half of the ring pairs as the next-to-last row, and avoid spheres with very low ring count in the last row.
Third, with a Kingsmaille sphere you make the reductions by putting a single ring in place of a pair in two adjacent pair positions, or in other words you space the reduction over two adjacent pairs. If you make your reductions by removing a whole pair then you may have trouble getting the rings in the next row to span the gap properly, or at least I did.
Fourth, when you get to the final row or the final few rows

The photo above shows guttation on native strawberry. It's a funny-sounding word, but an interesting phenomenon. The drops on the leaf margins are not dew, but the result of a process called guttation. Guttation occurs at night, when plants accumulate excess water through their roots, but transpiration through stomata on leaf surfaces has stopped. The excess water is released through pores on the leaf margins. Plant is native wild strawberry, or Virginia strawberry, Fragaria virginiana, and photographed on 25 March 2012 in our Biodiversity Garden. Native wild strawberry is an incredibly fast-growing and spreading, sun-loving ground cover with pretty white and yellow flowers and delicious edible fruits. Plant it this season instead of non-native ground covers, such as the invasive periwinkle, Vinca minor.

The use of digital twin for research purposes
Controlled Environments for Living Lab Studies (CELLS) is a research infrastructure consisting of two seemingly similar rooms that allow testing of different comfort and automation levels under real-life conditions of use. The aim of the project is to provide researchers with a digital twin of this research infrastructure to test experiments virtually before they are implemented in real life.
The first step of the project enabled preparation of the model to be used for dynamic thermal and natural lighting simulations. The following steps should allow us to convert the BIM model into a digital twin, in order to do life cycle analysis and monitor building performance.

The Delhi government has set aside Rs 16,396 crore for education. During the budget presentation, Delhi's finance minister Atishi said, "In the last 10 years, major changes have been introduced in Delhi government schools. We doubled the budget for education in the national capital. Today we are proposing a budget of Rs 16,396 crore for education in Delhi."
"Before the Kejriwal government, the condition of Delhi government schools were not good. People were forced to go to private schools to study," Atishi added.
The minister also praised the former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, recognising his efforts towards enhancing the educational environment in Delhi. She highlighted that student outcomes in Delhi government schools have seen improvement under the Kejriwal government, surpassing those of private schools.
The minister declared the addition of 20,000 new seats in state-run universities, accommodating the current enrolment of 93,000 students across these institutions.
Discussing teacher training and recruitment, Atishi highlighted the efforts of the Kejriwal-led Delhi government in this regard. She informed that the government has been actively involved in the training of teachers, having already regularised 47,914 teachers, with an ongoing recruitment process for 7,000 vacancies.

The universal forwarder
The universal forwarder is a separate Splunk Enterprise executable whose sole purpose is to send data from a host or other forwarder to a Splunk Enterprise indexer.The universal forwarder replaces the Splunk Enterprise light forwarder. Instances of full Splunk Enterprise and the universal forwarder can co-exist on the same system.
For information on deploying the universal forwarder, see "Universal forwarder deployment overview".
How universal forwarder compares to full Splunk Enterprise
The universal forwarder only forwards data. Unlike a full Splunk Enterprise instance, it cannot index or search data. To achieve higher performance and a lighter footprint, it has several limitations:
- The universal forwarder has no searching, indexing, or alerting capability.
- The universal forwarder does not parse data, except in certain cases.
- The universal forwarder does not output data via syslog.
- Unlike full Splunk Enterprise, the universal forwarder does not include a bundled version of Python.
Scripted inputs and Python
Full Splunk Enterprise comes bundled with Python. The universal forwarder does not. Therefore, if you use scripted inputs with Python and you want to use those scripts with the universal forwarder, you must first install your own version of Python. If you have been using calls specific to Splunk Python libraries, you cannot with the universal forwarder, because those libraries exist only in full Splunk Enterprise. You may use other scripting languages for scripted inputs with the universal forwarder if the target host supports them (for example, PowerShell on Windows Server.)
How universal forwarder compares to the light forwarder
The universal forwarder includes only the essential components needed to forward data to other Splunk Enterprise instances. The light forwarder, by contrast, is a full Splunk Enterprise instance, with certain features disabled to achieve a smaller resource footprint. In all respects, the universal forwarder represents a better tool for forwarding data to indexers.
When you install the universal forwarder, you can migrate from an existing light forwarder that runs version 4.0 or greater. See "Migrate from a light forwarder" for details.
Compared to the light forwarder, the universal forwarder provides a better performing solution to forwarding. These are the main performance differences between the universal forwarder and the light forwarder:
- The universal forwarder puts less load on the CPU, uses less memory, and has a smaller disk footprint.
- The universal forwarder has a default data transfer rate of 256Kbps.
- The universal forwarder cannot be converted to a full Splunk Enterprise instance.
Note: The light forwarder has been deprecated in Splunk Enterprise version 6.0. For a list of all deprecated features, see "Deprecated features" in the Release Notes.
For information on deploying the universal forwarder, see the topics that directly follow this one.
For information on third-party Windows binaries that the Windows version of the Splunk Enterprise universal forwarder ships with, read "Information on Windows third-party binaries distributed with Splunk Enterprise" in the Installation Manual.
For information about running the universal forwarder in Windows Safe Mode, read "Splunk Enterprise Architecture and Processes" in the Installation Manual.
Types of forwarders
This documentation applies to the following versions of Splunk® Enterprise: 6.3.0, 6.3.1, 6.3.2, 6.3.3, 6.3.4, 6.3.5, 6.3.6, 6.3.7, 6.3.8, 6.3.9, 6.3.10, 6.3.11, 6.3.12, 6.3.13, 6.3.14, 6.4.0

How to recover data from Asus G751J
31, August 2015: Asus G751J Data recovery is the process of salvaging data from damaged, failed, corrupted, or inaccessible secondary Asus G751J when it cannot be accessed normally. Often the data are being salvaged from storage media such as internal or external hard disk drives, solid-state drives (SSD), USB flash drive, storage tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID, and other electronics. Recovery may be required due to physical damage to the storage device or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system.
The most common "data recovery" scenario involves an operating system (OS) failure (typically on a single-disk, single-partition, single-OS system), in which case the goal is simply to copy all wanted files to another disk. This can be easily accomplished with a Live CD, most of which provide a means to mount the system drive and backup disks or removable media, and to move the files from the system disk to the backup media with a file manager or optical disc authoring software. Such cases can often be mitigated by disk partitioning and consistently storing valuable data files (or copies of them) on a different partition from the replaceable OS system files.
Bplan data recovery software is the fastest way to scan and recover data from Asus G751J. Bplan can help you find lost data after you have accidentally deleted or reformatted for Windows 7 xp 8.1 vista from Asus G751JAnother scenario involves a disk-level failure, such as a compromised file system or disk partition, or a hard disk failure. In any of these cases, the data cannot be easily read. Depending on the situation, solutions involve repairing the file system, partition table or master boot record, or hard disk recovery techniques ranging from software-based recovery of corrupted data to hardware replacement on a physically damaged disk. If hard disk recovery is necessary, the disk itself has typically failed permanently, and the focus is rather on a one-time recovery, salvaging whatever data can be read.
Asus adds Nvidia G-Sync technology for smoother gameplay. The hefty keyboard is great for gaming, and high-end CPU/GPU combo delivers killer performance, even when outputting to a 4K display,a premium 17.3-inch gaming laptop that combines a high-end Core i7 CPU, a hefty 24GB of RAM, a big 256GB SSD paired with a 1TB 7,200rpm HDD, and the GeForce 980M GPU.With the addition of G-Sync support built right into the display, the screen is even more important than ever. The one here has a 1,920×1,080 native resolution, which is still the standard for PC gaming, although higher-res screens, all the way up to 4K, are more common every day. Colors and contrast remain strong when viewed from off-angles, and the screen coating is nonreflective enough to avoid most glare. When G-Sync is turned on, it looks and plays incredibly smoothly.

Most uses of SPA I've seen seem to be representing static systems, such as recognizing digits, categorizing images, rapid variable creation (also called "completing a pattern") and planning a path for writing those digits back out. Can it be used to represent dynamics as well, such as the general movement from a series of images?
As explained in the NEF book, all non-linear dynamical systems can be represented in the NEF.
The SPA is simply applying semantic meaning and manipulations to the vectors represented by the NEF. The two most prominent examples of this are the motor system and the inference system in Spaun, which are shown in the aforementioned "rapid variable creation" task.
The vision system represents symbols (numbers) which get sent to the inference system. The inference system figures out the answer and sends it to the motor system. The motor system converts the symbol to a path and follows it.
Adding dynamics in a similar system with dynamics being visually identified, manipulated and then output, instead of static paths. One could imagine a system where the dynamics of the movement of an object are identified, manipulated neurally and then imitated. For example, having the running of a cheetah represented a series of limb movements, mapping them onto the human body and then having a human imitate that gait.
Of course this hasn't been implemented yet (and would look quite silly), but it shouldn't be super difficult. The main problem would be a good "demo" or psychological data to match, but I think this is still a good example.

The cooling system is one of the important components of the laser welding machine. If the cooling system fails, the small one will cause the equipment to stop working, and in severe cases, the ingot may explode. This shows the importance of the cooling system of the laser welder.
At present, the cooling system of laser welding machine mainly includes water cooling, air cooling and water cooling. Among them, water cooling is widely used.
1. The chiller of the laser welding machine generally has a filter, which can effectively filter out the obvious particles in the water, keep the laser pump cavity clean, and prevent the possibility of water blocking.
2. The chiller uses pure water or deionized water, which is more conducive to the pump light source directly injecting the laser material, which can produce a better laser mode.
3. The chiller of the laser welder is generally equipped with a water pressure gauge, and you can know the water pressure in the laser waterway at a glance.
4. The chiller uses imported compressors, the water tank and pump are made of stainless steel, and the heat exchange coil is also made of stainless steel, so the stability of the chiller can be ensured, the cooling effect is very good, and the temperature accuracy control can reach 1 ℃ The temperature is small, and the laser is slightly affected by temperature, but we recommend setting the temperature to about 1 degree. . .
5. The chiller of the laser welding machine is generally 220V household power supply instead of 380V three-phase power supply, which is more conducive to the versatility of the equipment.
6. The chiller is equipped with flow protection. When the water flow is less than the set value, there will be a signal alarm, which can be used to protect the laser and related components from heat dissipation.
7. The chiller is equipped with temperature protection. If the temperature is not suitable, there will be a signal alarm.
8. There is also a water level alarm.
9. He chiller can realize a series of adjustment functions, such as temperature adjustment and temperature difference adjustment.

Microsoft Excel lets you create tables, spreadsheets and graphs that contain data of all types. One type of data that is commonly found in an Excel spreadsheet is calendar data, but it can be a pain to have to type dates over and over. One way to get around this issue is to insert a calendar drop-down menu into your cells so that you can pick the dates from the calendar rather than having to type them in. If you want to insert such a calendar into your spreadsheet, you can do so by enabling Developer Mode from the program's main menu.
Click the "Office" button and select the "Excel Options" option from the drop-down menu that appears.
Click the "Popular" tab in the "Options" menu and place a check mark next to the "Show Developer Tab in the Ribbon" option. Click "OK" to save the changes.
Click the "Developer" tab, followed by the "Insert" menu. Select the "More Controls" button in the drop-down menu that appears.
Highlight the "Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control" option, then click "OK."
Click on the upper left corner of the cell to which you want to add the calendar and drag your mouse pointer to the cell's bottom-right corner. This will draw a rectangle around the cell.
Release your mouse button to insert the calendar into the cell. Whenever you click on the cell, the calendar drop-down menu will appear.

Portrait VS Business Headshot
When a photographer is working with a client there is lots of lingo and terminology that can be overwhelming for the customer. In discussions, the lack of clarification on these terms can lead to minor break downs in communication and confusion for the client about what to expect. It can be so helpful for everyone involved when we take a moment to stop and consider what exactly the words that we use every day really mean. Not only does this help from a photographer's perspective to consider the discourse and applications of it, but also, for our clients simply breaking down the terminology help to set the record straight. Let's have a look in to a common area of confusion. Let's consider the difference between a portrait and a business headshot and figure out what these terms are actually referring to! Portrait Broadly, a portrait is a documentation of an individual that shows an accurate likeness of the person.
Often, a client will want a portrait for personal reasons. This often looks like a modelling shoot, a maternity shoot, or pictures of family members. Portraits can also be used beyond these scenarios, for example, artists and content creators will usually use a portrait next to their artist statement or work. There is some confusion here with the word personal. Personal does not directly mean something only used for yourself, but in this case can be inclusive of online profiles, a more personable application or an image to be used as a profile image that falls somewhere between business and casual. It can also refer to a picture of a person that is shot in a more creative or arty style and showcases a concept or an individual's personality within it. Basically, a portrait is a considered and stylised image of yourself that does not scream corporate headshot!
Business Headshot
A headshot is usually a photograph of a person's face that presents them as a professional and refined version of themselves. This style of photograph is often associated with business because a person's profession is the most likely place where they will have to identify in this way. You will also see business headshots on professional orientated platforms like LinkedIn and Glass Door. This is for the same reason as just stated.
In the professional world there is a specific standard one must associate with that lets people know that they are serious and confident in themselves as a professional. There is also an element of conformity in the workplace and this carries over into all of the materials, both contractually and visually. In essence, a business headshot is a photograph of a person that showcases them as a professional in a repetitional way. These kinds of headshots are usually used for business and commercial purposes.
Licensing Licensing is one of those things that changes quite rapidly depending on the job. Licensing is always discussed with a client before work is carried out if it is relevant to the job, this way there is no surprises later down the line. In essence, licensing refers to the rights a client has in regard to how and where they use the images. Most photographers are quite flexible with licensing and consider their client and their individual needs.
Individuals and most small businesses usually won't even have to think about licensing agreements with their photographers. On occasion, dependent on the small business's usage, licensing may need to be agreed but the photographer will be transparent from the get-go about this.
Usually, licensing is only a predominant factor when working with large corporations. You can use online tools if you feel as though licensing may be relevant to your needs to help you to determine the licensing agreements and costs specific to the job you require. The reason we mention licensing at this point is to highlight that usage can be a defining factor in the way services are named and defined. Quite often a business headshot service will be mindful of licensing in the agreement and cost whereas in a portrait service not so much. It feels like one of those things that is implicit in the name, but licensing is one of those scary terms attached to even more scary terms like 'extra costs' and 'usage contract' that can drive away clients.
In reality, it is very simple. Usually, if you are a business or client who needs to discuss licensing, you will already be familiar with it! If not, any good photographer will be very transparent and discuss any licensing procedures before continuing the work.
Ultimately, we use different terms to describe different services. If you enquire about a service that does not seem fitting for your needs, then the photographer will simply let you know that they have a service more relevant to you. This will just change minor things for the photographer, like, make sure they have an appropriate light set up for a professional shoot for instance, but ultimately, it is just to help you out with what to expect. This allows the photographer to provide you with transparent quotes and the ability to clearly outline what they will supply you with at the end! "A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity." - Dalai Lama

wikiHow to Format Text as Code in Discord
Two Methods:Line Display CodeBlock Display CodeCommunity Q&A
One thing that separates Discord from other instant messaging platforms is the use of text formatting. You can format text in many ways on Discord, but knowing how to format it as code is a great skill for developers.
1
Line Display Code
 1. 1
 Use line display code if you're using Discord to share an example of single-line code. For example, if you're defining a variable in PHP, you can set it to use less room by using line display code blocks.
 2. 2
 Type one backtick (').
 - Unlike block-display code, highlighting can't be used for single-line code. You can use block-display code for a single line of code, however, if you want highlighting.
 3. 3
 Write your code. Paste or write your code into Discord.
 4. 4
 End the code. Using one backtick ('), close the code.
 5. 5
 Send your message. Your message will now show as a display code block in Discord.
2
Block Display Code
 1. 1
 Choose Block display code when your code runs over many lines. It has a standard line end, instead of wrapping over.
 2. 2
 Type three backticks ('). Backticks indicate to Discord that everything following is code, until the next backtick. The backtick symbol is found above Tab , below Esc.
 - If you want language highlighting, immediately after the third backtick, put the language name in lowercase. Discord accepts several languages, including (but not limited to):[1]
 - markdown
 - ruby
 - php
 - perl
 - python
 - css
 - json
 - javascript
 - java
 - cpp - C++
 3. 3
 Write your code. Paste or write your code into Discord, using Shift to start a new line.
 - Discord may recognize that you're writing in a block display, and therefore create line breaks when hitting Enter (making Shift unnecessary), but this may not occur on all devices or all versions of Discord.
 4. 4
 End the code. Using three backticks ('), close the code.
 5. 5
 Send your message. Your message will now show as a display code block in Discord.
Community Q&A
Search
Add New Question
 - My message shows as a code block in Discord, but how do I add a straight colored line beside the block?
 Tim
 Unfortunately you can't color single-line code blocks in Discord. Using a block code should work, however.
 - When I use text highlighting, can I add code using the things?
 Tim
 That isn't possible unless you use two code boxes with two color codes.

Next: a 32m-high Canopy Observation Tower
Since the bulk of the açaí planting is done, we are keeping the locals busy with the construction of a 30m-high canopy observation tower in the Garza Lagoon, a long-time dream we've had for the reserve. The tower will enable us to learn invaluable new information about the forest and also help us visually identify when poachers or loggers have entered the property. The lagoon is home to many commonly poached endangered species, including paiche (arapaima) and black caiman. It also serves as the rookery for at least 7 species of water birds, including the Agami Heron, whose eggs were previously poached by locals.


text: Technological development in the area of wireless communications lead to the requirement of tight integration of both the digital and analog functional units. Integrating mixers is a challenging task, especially in mixed signal design. IoT communication devices require low design complexity as we expect millions of devices connected. In this paper we propose a mixer less low complex QPSK based transmitter architecture targeting low frequency applications which reduced the complexity in transmitter design. A prototype has been developed using Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) and FPGA as the base band controller. The design can easily be adapted to MOSFET technology and modulation is achieved without the need of generating the carrier externally. The prototype developed was tested successfully by generating frequencies of range varying from 1 KHz to 120 MHz. The proposed architecture can also be used for any other digital modulation scheme such as BPSK, FSK etc. © 2014 National Institute of Information and Communicatio.

What's the major difference between new technologies and placing pagefile on a separate flash drive? It seems to me that new technologies are just wrappers. Am I wrong?

One can't ever put a pagefile on a flash drive! (What an idea.)
A pagefile can only exist on the system drive and is used for application code "overflow" when memory is full, as well as for the memory dump for a BSOD.
Readyboost is an old technology from the days when memory was costly, small and slow, intended to augment RAM memory with disk space. Do not use.
Superfetch is a technology to preload often-used applications into memory in order to speed their startup times, mostly for slow laptops.
Conclusion: They are not wrappers, but technologies meant to improve the performance of hardware-challenged computers.

A pagefile can be stored on another drive than the system drive (although it complains about memory dumps if you have no pagefile at all on the system drive). But it's right it should not be stored on a flash drive (if it even can), a flash drive is way too slow. – Snark Jan 11 '10 at 12:23

Purpose: In vivo studies have suggested that motor exercise can improve muscle regeneration after injury. Nevertheless, preclinical investigations still lack reliable tools to monitor motor performance over time and to deliver optimal training protocols to maximize force recovery. Here, we evaluated the utility of a murine robotic platform (i) to detect early impairment and longitudinal recovery after acute skeletal muscle injury and (ii) to administer varying intensity training protocols to enhance forelimb motor performance.
Methods: A custom-designed robotic platform was used to train mice to perform a forelimb retraction task. After an acute injury to bilateral biceps brachii muscles, animals performed a daily training protocol in the platform at high (HL) or low (LL) loading levels over the course of 3 wk. Control animals were not trained (NT). Motor performance was assessed by quantifying force, time, submovement count, and number of movement attempts to accomplish the task. Myofiber number and cross-sectional area at the injury site were quantified histologically.
Results: Two days after injury, significant differences in the time, submovement count, number of movement attempts, and exerted force were observed in all mice, as compared with baseline values. Interestingly, the recovery time of muscle force production differed significantly between intervention groups, with HL group showing a significantly accelerated recovery. Three weeks after injury, all groups showed motor performance comparable with baseline values. Accordingly, there were no differences in the number of myofibers or average cross-sectional area among groups after 3 wk.
Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate the utility of our custom-designed robotic device for the quantitative assessment of skeletal muscle function in preclinical murine studies. Moreover, we demonstrate that this device may be used to apply varying levels of resistance longitudinally as a means manipulate physiological muscle responses.


HEVEA pacifier Milky White round (3-36 months)
Unit: tk
8,95 €
Qty.: - +
HEVEA pacifiers are made of 100% natural rubber and painted with FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved natural color pigments. The pacifier is biodegradable and does not contain dangerous chemicals - PVC, BPA and phthalates.
The pacifier is gentle on the baby's sensitive skin and tender on the gums and teeth. Thanks to the one piece design, there are no cracks where bacteria could accumulate. The butterfly shaped pacifier leaves enough space for the child's nose and chin, and the ventilation openings help to prevent skin irritation.
When not in use, the pacifier should be kept in a clean and dry place out of direct sunlight and away from heat. It should be stored in a closed, clean and dry container.
If the surface of the soother starts to peel or crack, it is a sign of too long use or incorrect cleaning. It is recommended to replace the pacifier with a new one every two months.
Why does the pacifier change color over time?
No preservatives have been used in the production of HEVEA products and the color of natural rubber changes over time.
How to take care of a pacifier?
Before first use, clean and sterilize the pacifier thoroughly. HEVEA pacifiers are lubricated with a thin layer of vegetable oil so that they do not dry or change color in the package. The oil comes off if the pacifier is cleaned in boiling water before the first use. HEVEA pacifiers are cleaned in a special machine or by briefly dipping the pacifier in boiling water. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

When a loved one is deployed, we're full of wishes: that he'll be safe, that she'll be home soon, that the children will adjust to the separation. A wishing tree offers a concrete reminder of the person who is away, while providing a place to collect wishes, hopes, and prayers.
It's easy to create a wishing tree for your own home, classroom, family assistance center, church, or business. Use some of these ideas or get creative on your own.
Miniature Wishing Tree
1. Select a small tree or plant (artificial or real) or use branches supported by florist foam.
2. Cut lengths of ribbon.
3. Using a fabric pen, write your wishes on the ribbons and tie them to the branches.
Bulletin Board Wishing Tree
1. Hang a bulletin board, cork board, or heavyweight poster board on a wall.
2. Cut out a bare tree with several long branches using construction paper or flannel. Tack, tape, or staple your tree to the bulletin board.
3. Cut out "wishing leaves" made of ribbon, paper, flannel, or faux leaves or fruit, in any shape (leaves, ribbons, hearts, stars, ornaments, etc). The leaves can be flat or three-dimensional or have flaps to cover/reveal the wishes.
4. Have family members, students, or other participants write wishes, hopes, and prayers on the wishing leaves and tack to the tree.
Box of Wishes
1. Select a box with a lid. Cut an opening in the box top or use a lid that lifts off.
2. Decorate the box with photos of a person you are wishing for.
3. Write wishes on small pieces of paper or paper leaves and put into the box.
Jar of Wishes
1. Choose a large clear container with an easy on/off lid, such as a large pickle jar or candy jar.
2. Decorate the jar with permanent marker, paint, or pasted paper or leave the jar clear if you want to see the wishes.
3. Cut out colorful ribbons, paper leaves, stars, hearts, and other shapes and write on your wishes.
4. Put the wishes in the jar by color or material type to create a pattern, or randomly for a colorful display of wishes.
Wishing Tree Placemats
1. Color a picture of a tree onto a large piece of paper slightly smaller than the placemat you want to make. Include leaves on the tree. Include photos of your family around the tree.
2. Laminate the paper, leaving an edge around the paper for the lamination to adhere to itself.
3. For reusable wishing tree placemats, use dry erase markers or other wipe-off crayons or markers to write wishes on the leaves. Write new wishes at each meal.
Styrofoam Wishing Tree
1. Begin with a Styrofoam cone, with the flat edge down. Spray paint or decorate the cone.
2. Write wishes on ribbons or paper leaves and affix to tree with pins or pipe cleaners.
Holiday Wishing Tree
1. Using your normal holiday tree, write wishes on ribbons, paper ornaments, or other crafts and decorate with your wishes and hopes for others.
2. Create a giving tree, decorating with wishes from others in need. Encourage everyone to select a wish from the tree and make it come true!
Create Your Own Wishing Tree Idea!
We'd love to see your creations! Send your wishing tree pictures to _EMAIL_.
We'll award a free copy of The Wishing Tree by Mary Redman and Christina Rodriguez to our favorite wishing tree photos sent in by July 31. Be sure to include your name, mailing address, and a brief story about your tree with your photo.

CINCINNATI — Two of the Cincinnati Zoo's little blue penguin chicks have out-of-this-world names straight from the red planet.
The zoo introduced Rover and Mars, who hatched four weeks ago, on Friday. The names were inspired by NASA's successful landing of the Perseverance rover on Mars Thursday afternoon.
Perseverance will spend the next several years exploring Mars, taking samples and helping scientists investigate the possibility of past life 128 million miles from Earth.
Mars and Rover the penguins have much less riding on their shoulders — their schedule includes naps, snacks and joining the rest of the little blue penguin colony in Roo Valley during the spring.
Little blue penguins, also known as fairy penguins, are the smallest known penguin species and live natively in Australia and New Zealand. Although Mars and Rover are all fluff right now, they'll eventually grow the iridescent blue feathers that give their species its common name.

What does the temperature of a compost heap have to do with a baby's sex?
As many gardeners know, a well-tended compost heap generates considerable heat as the mound of organic material decays. Ever wonder who invented this gardener's aid? Well, it just might have been a crocodile!
A female crocodile or alligator doesn't sit on her eggs to keep them warm. She covers them with soil and vegetation, and as this material starts to "compost," the nest mound heats up. But don't think the temperature of an alligator nest is a trivial matter. The nest is made with just the right mixture of mud and vegetation to create a precise range of internal temperatures. Why so specific? Because the sex of hatchling crocs and gators is determined by the temperature within the nest! Eggs incubated at around 89 degrees Fahrenheit produce females, while those at temperatures below 87 degrees produce mainly males. In a well-constructed croc nest the eggs on top will be a few degrees cooler than those closer to the bottom, and -- VOILA! -- when the babies hatch there are usually an equal number of males and females.
This phenomenon (known as temperature-determined sex) is amazing, but it's not unique, also occurring in turtles and lizards. The sex of human babies, however, is not known to be affected by the temperature of their parents' compost heap.

directImageLink = boolean yes 0
linkParams = any of the options of typolink (?)
stdWrap = stdWrap yes
enable
imageLinkWrap.enable = boolean
Whether or not to link the image. Must be set to True to make imageLinkWrap do anything at all.
file
imageLinkWrap.file = stdWrap
Apply stdWrap functionality to the file path.
width
imageLinkWrap.width = positive integer
Width of the image to be shown in pixels. If you add "m" to width or height or both then the width and height parameters will be interpreted as maximum and proportions of the image will be preserved.
height
imageLinkWrap.height = positive integer
Width of the image to be shown in pixels. If you add "m" to width or height or both then the width and height parameters will be interpreted as maximum and proportions of the image will be preserved.
effects
imageLinkWrap.effects = like EFFECT of GIFBUILDER
Apply image effects to the preview image.
Example for effects
imageLinkWrap {
 effects = gamma=1.3 | sharpen=80 | solarize=70
 # effects only works when directImageLink is FALSE
 directImageLink = 0
 # at most 800 pixels wide. Keep proportions.
 width = 800m
 # at most 600 pixels wide. Keep proportions.
 height = 600m
}
sample
imageLinkWrap.sample = boolean
sample is a switch which determines how the image processor (often GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick) calculates the preview image. If sample is true then - sample is used with GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick instead of - geometry to calculate the preview image. sample does not use antialiasing and is therefore much faster than the geometry procedure of GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick.
title
imageLinkWrap.title = string
Specifies the html-page-title of the preview window. Needs JSwindow = 1.
bodyTag
imageLinkWrap.bodyTag = <tag>
This is the -tag of the preview window. Needs JSwindow = 1.
Example:
# with all margins set to zero the window will exactly fit the image.
# "onBlur" closes the window automatically if it looses focus
imageLinkWrap.JSwindow = 1
imageLinkWrap.bodyTag (

)
wrap
imageLinkWrap.wrap = wrap
This wrap is placed around the -tag in the preview window. Needs JSwindow = 1.
target
imageLinkWrap.target = target
This specifies the target attribute of the link. The attribute will only be created if the current Doctype allows it. Needs JSwindow = 1. Default: 'thePicture'.
Examples:
# (1) to produce:
imageLinkWrap.target = preview
# (2) to use the default:
// do nothing - use the built in default value of ".target"
# (3) to use a new window for each image
# let there be: <a target="<hash-code>" ... >
imageLinkWrap.JSwindow = 1
imageLinkWrap.JSwindow.newWindow = 1
JSwindow
imageLinkWrap.JSwindow = boolean
If true (JSwindow = 1) Javascript will be used to open the image in a new window. The window is automatically resized to match the dimensions of the image.
JSwindow.expand
imageLinkWrap.JSwindow.expand = x, y
x and x are of data type integer. The values are added to the width and height of the preview image when calculating the width and height of the preview window.
JSwindow.newWindow
imageLinkWrap.JSwindow.newWindow = boolean
If the Doctype allows the target attribute then the image will be opened in a window with the name given by target. If that windows is kept open and the next image with the same target attribute is to be shown then it will appear in the same preview window. If JSwindow.newWindow is set to True, then a unique hash value is used as target value for each image. This guarantees that each image is opened in a new window.
JSwindow.altUrl
imageLinkWrap.JSwindow.altUrl = string
If this returns anything then it is used as URL of the preview window. Otherwise the default "showpic" script will be used.
JSwindow.altUrl_noDefaultParams
imageLinkWrap.JSwindow.altUrl_noDefaultParams = boolean
If true (JSwindow.altUrl_noDefaultParams = 1) then the image parameters are not automatically appended to the altUrl. This is useful if you want to add them yourself in a special way.
linkParams
imageLinkWrap.linkParams = any of the options of typolink
When the direct link for the preview image is calculated all attributes of linkParams are used as settings for the typolink function. In other words: Use the same parameters for linkParams that you would use for typolink. Needs JSwindow = 0.
Example:
JSwindow = 0
directImageLink = 1
linkParams.ATagParams.dataWrap (
 class="{$styles.content.imgtext.linkWrap.lightboxCssClass}"
 rel="{$styles.content.imgtext.linkWrap.lightboxRelAttribute}"
)
This way it is easy to use a lightbox and to display resized images in the frontend. More complete examples are Example: Images in lightbox "fancybox" and Example: Images in lightbox "TopUp".
stdWrap
imageLinkWrap.stdWrap = stdWrap
This adds stdWrap functionality to the almost final result.
What it does
imageLinkWrap = 1
If set to True (= 1) then this function attaches a link to an image that opens a special view of the image. By default the link points to the a "showpic" script that knows how to deal with several parameters. The script checks an md5-hash to make sure that the parameters are unchanged. See Basic example: Create a link to the showpic script.
There is an alternative. You may set directImageLink to True (= 1). In that case the link will directly point to the image - no intermediate script is involved. This method can well be used to display images in a lightbox. See Basic example: Link directly to the original image and the lightbox examples on this page.
If JSwindow is True (= 1) more fancy features are available since the preview now is opened by Javascript. Then the Javascript window title, size, background-color and more can be set to special values.
Implementation
 - imageLinkWrap in API,
 - method imageLinkWrap in
 - class ContentObjectRenderer in
 - namespace namespace TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject; in
 - file ContentObjectRenderer.php in
 - folder typo3/sysext/frontend/Classes/ContentObject.
Examples for imageLinkWrap
Example: Larger display in a popup window
page = PAGE
page.10 = IMAGE
page.10 {
 # the relative path to the image
 # find the images in the 'lorem_ipsum' extension an copy them here
 file = fileadmin/demo/lorem_ipsum/images/b1.jpg
 # let's make the normal image small
 file.width = 80
 # yes, we want to have a preview link on the image
 imageLinkWrap = 1
 imageLinkWrap {
 # must be TRUE for anything to happen
 enable = 1
 # "m" = at most 400px wide - keep proportions
 width = 400m
 # "m" = at most 300px high - keep proportions
 height = 300
 # let's use fancy Javascript features
 JSwindow = 1
 # black background
 bodyTag = <body style="

1. Find a quiet location with as little background noise as possible.
2. Place the camera close to the person being recorded - about 2 - 3 feet away will give a good view of the face and upper body. This is important for or hand and body gestures, which are part of language too.
3. When recording two or more people having a conversation, try to place the camera in the middle, about 2 3 feet away. Make sure everybody being recorded is in the frame of the camera view.
4. Try not to move the camera around, or back and forth between people in a conversation. Rather, place the camera so everyone is in view.
5. Speakers try not to move around too much while being recorded. Some movement is okay, but you want to make sure you are always in the camera view so you can be seen and heard clearly.
6. If the person being recorded would like to demonstrate or point to something (like a wordless book), move the camera back so that both the speaker and object are in view. A view of what is in the speakers nearby environment is important information too!
7. Try to have the recording be in the native language as much as possible avoid going back and forth between languages if you can.
8. Please start all recordings with this script (read by each speaker):
9. Here are some ideas for things to talk about:
10. You can make and upload as many recordings as you like. Each video should be 5 10 minutes in length.
11. Dont edit the video upload it as is.
12. Last of all, remember to press the record button!

Client: Colorado Springs Utilities
Task: Increase participation and representation of youth perspectives in decision-making about electricity generation.
Students conducted focus groups, interviews, and a survey to capture how area youth think about electricity production and to understand their priorities in the future. Almost 500 high school-age students participated in the different engagement methodologies, and analysis of collected data highlighted key priorities, trends, and opportunities. Additionally, a lesson plan and strategy were developed to enable long-term engagement with youth beyond the scope of this study.
Findings were delivered to the Utilities Policy Advisory Committee as a component of a comprehensive planning process. Results were subsequently used to support the weighing of different factors (cost, environmental impact, reliability, innovation etc.) in scenario planning, and also to support the ultimate adoption of a planned energy portfolio that will reduce carbon emissions from electricity generation by 90% by 2050.

Trimming technique is a powerful and efficacious way of endowing an arbitrary complex topology to CAD files created by using NURBS. In this work, spline FEM for trimmed CAD surfaces in linear and geometric nonlinear elasticity problem is presented. The main benefit of the proposed method is that no additional modeling for the analysis of the trimmed NURBS surfaces is necessary. As a pioneering attempt to deal with the trimmed surfaces in spline FEM, the information on the trimming curves and trimmed surfaces exported from CAD system is directly utilized for analysis. For this, a specific searching algorithm and an integration scheme of trimmed elements are introduced. For analyses, the construction of the stiffness matrix based on the spline basis function is presented. In the formulation, the information on the trimming curves is used not only for obtaining integration points but also for calculating the Jacobian. It is observed that the proposed method gives the theoretical convergence rate. Multiple-holes problems which are difficult to analyze with conventional spline FEM are easily treated with the proposed method.
Moreover, if the domain boundaries are described by trimming curves only, with the extension of the classical concepts of trimming curves, it is supposed that the proposed method has a lot of advantages over conventional methods.
First, any problems of arbitrary complex topology can be handled. The flexibility for describing complex domain is significantly improved, because the complicated boundaries are easily represented by NURBS curves. Circular or any degrees of polygonal shapes are manageable. It is shown that any complex multiply-connected NURBS domain can be described by using trimming curves only. Schemes for imposing essential and traction boundary conditions on trimming curves are presented. It has been demonstrated that with the presented schemes boundary conditions on trimming curves can be successfully treated.

Finding Iron In Your Cereal
You can see the Iron inCold Cereal fortified with Iron.
What You Need:
 - 2-3 cups fortified cereal
 - magnet
 - bowl
 - spoon or other utensil
 - water
 - blender (optional)
 - napkin
 - What To Do:
 1. Pour the cereal into the bowl or blender.
 2. Add sufficient water to completely cover the cereal (it's not an exact measurement - you can add as much as you like as iron doesn't dissolve in water)
 3. Mash the cereal with a spoon or mix it with the water using a blender. The more finely ground the cereal is, the easier it will be to get the iron.
 4. Stir the magnet through the crushed cereal. Iron is heavy and will sink, so be sure to pay attention to the bottom of the bowl. If you used a blender, make sure you can get to the particles at the bottom of the jar.
 5. Look for the black 'fuzz' or iron on the magnet. It's easiest to see the iron if you wipe the iron on a white napkin or paper towel. Mmmm Mmm Good :-)
