The basic difference between fixed investment and inventory investment is the type of goods on which investment is to be made. Firstly, Fixed investment refers to expenditure on investment in capital goods. On the contrast, inventory investment refers to the expenditure incurred on investment in stock.
To know the difference between these two, we must clear the meaning of these terms:
The Content covered in this article:
Meaning of Fixed Investment:-
It refers to the increase in the stock of fixed assets of the producers during a year. In other words, it can be described as the expenditure incurred by producers on purchase of long term assets or capital goods during the year. For example, Plant and machinery, Furniture and Building etc.
It can be calculated as:
Fixed investment during the year = Stock of fixed assets at the end of the year – Stock of fixed assets in beginning of the year
Let's assume, a producer has a stock of 20 machines at the beginning of year i.e. 1st Jan 2020. On 31st December 2020, he has a stock of 35 machines. Thus, the fixed assets stock of producer is increased by 15 machines during the year.
Therefore, fixed investment during the year 2020 = 15 machines.
Due to this, fixed investment is also known as Fixed capital formation. Thus, It means the increase in capital in terms of fixed assets which are used in the process of production for several years.
Meaning of Inventory Investment:-
It refers to the change in the stock of finished, semi-finished and raw material during a year. Here, the finished goods refer to the final goods ready to sale or unsold. And, Semi-finished goods include goods which are in the process of production. Thus, The stock of these goods is known as Inventory stock. It keeps on varying with the passage of time. Hence, the change inventory stock during the year is known as inventory investment of producers.
It can be calculated as:
Inventory investment during the year = Inventory stock at the end of the year – Inventory stock at the beginning of the year.
Let's assume the producer has 1,25,000 units of inventory stock including finished, semi-finished goods and raw material at the beginning of year i.e. 1st Jan 2020. On 31st December 2020, he has 2,25,000 units of inventory stock with him. Thus, the inventory stock of producer is increased by 1,00,000 units.
Inventory stock during the year = 1,00,000 units.
Chart of Difference between Fixed investment and inventory investment:
|Basis of Difference||Fixed Investment||Inventory Investment|
It refers to expenditure incurred on the purchase of fixed assets or capital goods.
|It refers to expenditure incurred on the purchase of raw material, semi-finished or finished goods.|
|Purpose||Here, the purpose is to continue further production.||Here, the purpose is to meet the demands of consumers in case of shortage.|
Can be known as
|It can also be known as Capital investment.||It can also be known as Working Capital investment.|
|Here, the investment can be considered as expenditure on long term assets.||And, this investment can be considered as expenditure on income yielding short term assets.|
Resale of assets
|In this type of investment, the assets are not meant to be resold at any period of time.||Here, the inventory is not meant to be resold immediately but stays in stock to raise inventory level.|
|The stock of fixed assets at the end of the year – Stock of fixed assets in beginning of the year||Inventory stock at the end of the year – Inventory stock at the beginning of the year.|
|In short, It leads to a higher rate of economic growth.||Generally, It avoids the uncertainties related to price and availability of raw material.|

text: We discuss our recent ab initio calculations of the adsorption configurations (both dissociative and not) of methanethiol and dimethyl disulfide on Au(111) at low coverage, which are based on density functional theory using gradient-corrected exchange-correlation functionals (both BLYP and PBE). A complete characterization of their structure, binding energies, and type of bonding is obtained. Dissociation is clearly favored for the disulfide with subsequent formation of strongly bound thiolates, in agreement with experimental evidence, whereas thiolates resulting from S-H bond cleavage in thiols can coexist with the adsorbed 'intact' species and become favored if accompanied by the formation of molecular hydrogen. New calculations are also presented for the thiolates and the disulfide on a 38-atom gold cluster. Differences and similarities of the bonding on the cluster and on the surface are described in detail.

Balloon Hangers are a decorating accessory used to simplify making and hanging latex balloon clusters. Balloon Hangers eliminate the need for tape or wire.
There are two types of Balloon Hangers:
 1. Corner Balloon Hangers: Holds three balloons and is used to hang balloons in corners.
 2. Cluster Balloon Hangers: Comes with two pieces and holds eight balloons. This hanger is used for hanging balloons clusters from the ceiling and to create arches and column displays.
How to use Balloon Hangers
 1. Inflate and tie the latex balloons. It's recommended to make one cluster at a time.
 2. Insert the necks of the balloons, below the knot you tied, into the slits of the hanger.
 3. Once the hanger is complete, use a pushpin to hang it from the ceiling. If this is not an option, it is best to try and test different methods before your event.
How to use Balloon Hangers to create an arch
Use the disc piece from a Cluster Balloon Hanger to make a balloon arch.
 1. Inflate eight balloons and tie them.
 2. Insert one balloon into each slot on the hanger below to the knot.
 3. Feed monofilament line through the center of the hanger
 4. Attach a weight to the bottom of the line.
 5. Keep stacking clusters while feeding monofilament line through the hangers, until the desired size is reached.
Other Ideas
To create balloon columns, use the same method as building an arch, but stack clusters to the desired height.
You can also create free-standing columns by threading the discs down a rod and then insert one end into a planter so it stands upright.

>Drawing Of Sluice Room Layout
What Is A Sluice Room?
When we consider the question of 'what is a sluice room', the first response should be 'very important indeed!' But what exactly does a sluice room do, and why is it so critical?
The sluice room is a closed area found in hospitals, care homes and special needs schools; it may also be present in other extended care facilities, too.
When properly planned and equipped, the sluice room allows for the safe and efficient disposal of human waste. In turn, the spread of infection is prevented.
A sluice room can also be called a 'dirty' or 'soiled' utility room. No matter how a medical facility chooses to name it, the function is much the same – and of great significance to clinical operations.
What happens in a sluice room?
When a clinician enters a sluice room, they will most likely be handling some kind of enclosed human waste after providing care to a patient or resident who may either be bedridden, can't safely use a traditional toilet, or have special needs which leave them incontinent.
This waste will need to be hygienically disposed of in a way that won't expose clinicians to harmful bacteria or spread it around the area. Similarly, the vessel holding the waste will need to be cleaned if it is reusable, so it's sanitary for the next user.
If the vessel isn't reusable, it'll most likely be made of medical pulp, and need to be safely discarded. The same will apply to single-use incontinence products, such as pads and nappies.
None of these items can be thrown into a regular bin, as they pose a serious risk to human health.
Pulpmatic Ultima being loaded
Why are sluice room activities so important?
It's vital for sluice room operations to be well-planned and orchestrated, so that the working environment (and as a consequence, the entire medical facility) remains safe.
If the sluice room is badly designed, with poor equipment and insufficient procedures, disposing of human waste can be slow and inefficient. In turn, clinicians can risk spreading dangerous pathogens (inside and outside of the sluice room), as well as spending too long dealing with auxiliary tasks.
If bacteria are allowed to spore, it could result in a major outbreak of infection in your facility. Illnesses such as C. difficile are extremely distressing for patients and can even be life-threatening; the pressure on clinicians during outbreaks is also significant, with a major extra demand on their already limited time. The extra cost to your facility, in terms of deep cleaning, extra staff and ward closures can be devastating – and that's before the damage to your reputation is considered.
It's in everyone's best interest, therefore, that excellent sluice room practices are properly considered, supported and upheld.
How do sluice rooms control infection?
A sluice room contributes to good infection control, straight from the design stages; it should have a clear workflow, where clinicians can easily travel from one workstation to the next, without spreading germs.
Care should also be taken to provide crevice-free worksurfaces, so bacteria can't hide; using stainless steel furniture is an effective way for this to be achieved. Similarly, walls should be easy to wipe clean, and floors simple to mop, with no cracks or indents.
Alongside the architecture of a sluice room, the equipment it contains is critical to controlling infection. The correct equipment should be provided for each task, to suit the kind of care that your facility is providing to service users.
If your facility relies on re-usable bedpans, having a bedpan washer disinfector in the sluice room is absolutely vital.
Far safer than washing bedpans by hand, a washer disinfector will sanitise multiple utensils at a time, and far quicker than a clinician could achieve manually. It's also a more effective method, which ensures the chamber and its contents are heated to the correct temperature to kill bacteria.
For facilities which favour single-use pulp products, a macerator will provide sanitary disposal of soiled bedpans, urinals and commode pots.
Cutting pulp into a fine paste, macerators flush their contents through the normal sewerage system. A disinfectant rinse after the process ensures the macerator itself remains sanitary, as well as smelling fresh.
Both processes are far more hygienic than attempting to clean a bedpan with running water, gloves and scrubbing tools; even with the best intentions, these can spread bacteria through splashback, steam or human error.
If your facility needs to regularly dispose of incontinence pads and nappies, a macerator designed specifically for incontinence products will provide the same service. Soiled items are safely disposed of, without the clinician needing to be hands-on and spreading bacteria in the process.

Sharing Books and Learning Language: What do Latina Mothers and Their Young Children Do?
Early Education and Development
Taylor and Francis
This study examined low-income, Spanish-speaking, immigrant Latina mothers' book sharing behaviors in relation to their children's vocabulary. Participants were 47 3-year-old children and their mothers. We addressed two research questions: (a) What interactive behaviors are evident when low-income immigrant Latina mothers and their 3-year-old children look at books together? (b) For these children and their mothers, which book-sharing behaviors are related to children's expressive language? Overall, our results indicated that mothers were involved in several kinds of interactions with the books. They enhanced their children's attention to the printed text, promoted interaction or conversation with their children about what was in the books, and somewhat less often, used more complex literacy strategies. Mothers who did these things most had children with the largest vocabularies even when mothers' vocabulary was taken into account. Implications for designing interventions for similar families are discussed.

The material component was a basic part of casting most spells.[2]
A material component consisted of one or more physical objects or substances. Depending on the spell, once it was cast, the material component was annihilated. However, a spellcaster could often use a spellcasting focus to substitute for most components, which would not be consumed by the spell. Casters who wielded priestly magic usually used a divine focus such as a holy symbol, which had higher spiritual significance than the standard focus, while druids often employed a druidic focus.[2][3]
Arcane spellcasters usually employed component pouches with individual compartments to store most material components required for their spells,[4] unless they chose to employ an arcane focus instead.[3]
Valuable or rare material components often had to be stored separately and could not be replaced by a focus.[3]

What is meta? ×
Have a look at the revisions of _URL_ in particular the formatting-related edit I made (edit 2). The formatted text contains spurious newlines and indentation errors (not to speak of the randomly inserted HTML escape sequence). Even deleting the newlines and re-inserting them didn't help.
Minimal example that still exhibits the buggy behaviour:
 1. Item
Source (displays exactly right):
1. Item
Another example, from an old posting of mine that worked before, but is now broken: _URL_
Notice how the posting's source code ends on " tags in the HTML output.
Besides the fact that this is actually ambiguous (Which item is wrapped in tags? The one before the blank line? The one after it? Both? All of them, once there's a blank line anywhere?) and that different implementations actually handle this differently, here's how the original implementation does it:
The first element is wrapped in if it's followed by a blank line, the last element when it's preceded by a blank line, and all other ones when there's a blank line at least on one side. All items are wrapped if they contain blank lines.
All well, there's some consistency to this. The implementation, however, tries to express this logic in a regular expression:
 (\n)? # leading line = $1
 (^[ \t]*) # leading whitespace = $2
 ($marker_any) [ \t]+ # list marker = $3
 ((?s:.+?) # list item text = $4
 (?= \n* (\z | \2 ($marker_any) [ \t]+))
When a Markdown list is separated into items, this preserves one or two newline characters at the end (one meaning there's no blank line, two meaning there is), and one newline character at the beginning.
The presence of the double newline at the end means this item is followed by a blank line. The presence of a leading newline on top means this item is preceded by a blank line.
Well, almost. Because now we need three newline characters between the items, two to be captured at the end, and one to be captured at the top.
Well, that's easy:
# Turn double returns into triple returns, so that we can make a
# paragraph for the last item in a list, if necessary:
$list =~ s/\n{2,}/\n\n\n/g;
– and that's why code in lists started growing newlines.
Many Markdown ports to other languages do it the same way – including Attacklab Showdown (SO's client-side Markdown renderer) and MarkdownSharp (the server-side version).
After removing this piece of logic from the regex and instead keeping a little bit of extra state* between the list item processing steps, we could remove the double-triple-conversion.
* appropriately called last_item_had_a_double_newline

Amazing. I know from experience how hard debugging regular expressions is. And then there's the complexity of parsing Markdown at all … William Shields' attempt at parsing Markdown with a formal parser (as far as I see) hasn't been fruitful either. – Konrad Rudolph Jan 6 '11 at 17:21
amazing work Ben! – Jeff Atwood Jan 6 '11 at 21:30
There have been ZERO changes to any of the markdown code in months. FYI. Be happy to share SVN logs with you (privately) if you don't believe me.
I think this is simply a condition we hadn't discovered before. It seems to be based on spacing, like so:
 1. uno
 2. dos
 3. tres
 4. cuatro
Conclusion: this is not a new bug, surprisingly -- both the client and server side markdown renderers do the same thing here! That leads me to believe it's a narrow condition around code within numbered lists.
Bottom line, if you have code (8-space-indent) inside a bulleted list, you cannot have blank lines inside the code. Bizarre, but true.
Checking in _URL_ verifies this is a bug in multiple markdown engines. Click here to see the above sample text in multiple markdown engines. There's definitely a disturbance in the force here..

I was surprised too but I can't think of anything that has changed -- it's duplicated on both client and server, and the babelfish Markdown processor (some of them anyway) show the SAME error. – Jeff Atwood Sep 3 '09 at 12:26
This is just righteous punishment for people who use 8-space-wide indenting. – TM. Dec 23 '09 at 19:20
You have to do that in lists, TM. – GManNickG Dec 23 '09 at 19:34
_USER_, i take his comment to be about 8-space-indenting in some random source code file, where actual tabs or 3-or-4-space-indenting is better. – quack quixote Dec 23 '09 at 21:27
This would be awesome if it was fixed, since ctr-k doesn't work on code in a numbered list ( you have to hand indent the extra 4 lines ). – Peter Ajtai Oct 3 '10 at 0:12
Also note that additional scroll bars appear if there are long lines in a code block containing empty lines:
 1. Create list
 2. Add code:
 function() {

Here's how long you should wait before drinking alcohol after the Covid vaccine
As the vaccine rollout around the UK continues to vaccinate people against the Covid-19 virus, some people have been confused about whether or not they are allowed to drink alcohol before or after receiving the jab.
This is what you need to know about alcohol and the Covid-19 vaccines.
'Alcohol interferes with your body'
The independent medical advisory panel for alcohol education charity, Drink Aware, explains: "While there is no published data about the specific effects of alcohol on the human body's response to the Covid-19 vaccination, there is some evidence that drinking alcohol, especially regular heavy drinking, could interfere with your body's ability to build immunity in response to some vaccines."
Dr Fiona Sim, the panel's chair, says: "We are very keen to stress how important it is for you to get vaccinated. We do know that, since the onset of the pandemic last year, between one fifth and one third of people have been drinking more than they usually do.
"So, as far as alcohol is concerned, we advise that you consider not drinking for two days before, and up to two weeks after you've been vaccinated, to try to ensure your immune system is at its best to respond to the vaccine and protect you.
"But it's really important to know that, even if you do drink, you'll still benefit from having the jab, so please don't turn it down."
Why two weeks?
The guidance from Drink Aware explains that, according to information on vaccines, it takes time for the body to build immunity following vaccination.
It is in your best interest for your immune system to be able to work to the best of its ability, and not "risk any reduction in its immune response as a result of alcohol".
"The UK Government's advice suggests it takes a week or two for your body to build up this immunity following vaccination, so our precautionary advice is to consider having a break from alcohol for this period," Drink Aware says.
'Alcohol reduces levels of white blood cells'
On the TV programme The Truth About… Boosting Your Immune System, which aired on the BBC, emergency medicine expert Dr Ronx Ikharia found that three glasses of Prosecco reduced the levels of white blood cells by up to half.
This includes lymphocytes, which account for 20 per cent to 40 per cent of white blood cells in adults, and help the body fight viruses.
Previously, scientists from Wuhan found that lymphocytes play a key role in determining the immune response to foreign substances, such as the Covid-19 virus.
On the programme, Immunologist Professor Sheena Cruickshank said: "You need to have your immune system working tip-top to have a good response to the vaccine, so if you're drinking the night before, or shortly afterwards, that's not going to help."

Real plane curve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In mathematics, a real plane curve is usually a real algebraic curve defined in the real projective plane.
Since the real number field is not algebraically closed, the geometry of even a plane curve C in the real projective plane is not a very easy topic. Assuming no singular points, the real points of C form a number of ovals, in other words submanifolds that are topologically circles. The real projective plane has a fundamental group that is a cyclic group with two elements. Such an oval may represent either group element; in other words we may or may not be able to contract it down in the plane. Taking out the line at infinity L, any oval that stays in the finite part of the affine plane will be contractible, and so represent the identity element of the fundamental group; the other type of oval must therefore intersect L.
There is still the question of how the various ovals are nested. This was the topic of Hilbert's sixteenth problem. See Harnack's curve theorem for a classical result.

Tunneling properties in α-T₃ lattices
Journal Contribution - Journal Article
Subtitle:effects of symmetry-breaking terms
The alpha-T3 lattice model interpolates a honeycomb (graphene-like) lattice and a T3 (also known as dice) lattice via the parameter alpha. These lattices are made up of three atoms per unit cell. This gives rise to an additional dispersionless flat band touching the conduction and valence bands. Electrons in this model are analogous to Dirac fermions with an enlarged pseudospin, which provides unusual tunneling features like omnidirectional Klein tunneling, also called super-Klein tunneling (SKT). However, it is unknown how small deviations in the equivalence between the atomic sites, i.e., variations in the alpha parameter, and the number of tunnel barriers changes the transmission properties. Moreover, it is interesting to learn how tunneling occurs through regions where the energy spectrum changes from linear with a middle flat band to a hyperbolic dispersion. In this paper we investigate these properties, its dependence on the number of square barriers and the alpha parameter for either gapped and gapless cases. Furthermore, we compare these results to the case where electrons tunnel from a region with linear dispersion to a region with a bandgap. In the latter case, contrary to tunneling through a potential barrier, the SKT is no longer observed. Finally, we find specific cases where transmission is allowed due to a symmetry breaking of sublattice equivalence.

$120.00 CAD
The Pterodactyl and the 3rd issue in series, takes flight in this exciting Dinosaur Coin Collection struck in 1 ounce of.999 pure silver. The word 'Pterodactylus', commonly known as Pterodactyls, comes from the Greek meaning 'winged finger'. Pterodactylus had extremely long, specially adapted fourth fingers, to which its wings were attached.
The coin has been antiqued as part of the overall design aesthetic. The reverse shows a coloured and engraved image of the dragon-like, winged Pterodactyls in flight against a prehistoric background. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and is legal tender in Niue.
The numbered Certificate of Authenticity fits neatly inside a quality coin case which is placed inside a themed outer box. This certificate confirms the limited mintage of 2,000 coins.
Triceratops backstory:
Many studies conclude that Pterodactylus was a carnivore that probably preyed upon fish as well as other small animals. Like all pterosaurs, Pterodactylus had wings formed by a skin and muscle membrane stretching from its elongated fourth finger to its hind limbs. It was supported internally by collagen fibres and externally by keratinous ridges. Pterodactylus was a small pterosaur compared to other famous genera such as Pteranodon and Quetzalcoatlus, and it also lived earlier, during the Late Jurassic period, while both Pteranodon and Quetzalcoatlus lived during the Late Cretaceous Period.

We propose a method to include productivity benefits in the economic assessment of the potential for energy efficiency improvement. The case-study review suggests that energy efficiency investments can provide a significant boost to overall productivity within industry. If this relationship holds, the description of energy-efficient technologies as opportunities for larger productivity improvements has significant implications for conventional economic assessments. The paper explores the implications this change in perspective on the evaluation of energy-efficient technologies for a study of the iron and steel industry in the US. This examination shows that including productivity benefits explicitly in the modeling parameters would double the cost-effective potential for energy efficiency improvement, compared to an analysis excluding those benefits. We provide suggestions for future research in this important area.

As an exercise, I'm trying to replicate the table shown at the end of section 10.3 (Creating Embedded Components) of the Maple User Manual, the table on page 308 of the PDF, reproduced here:
I create a 6 x 3 table, and merge cells of columns 1 and 2 in each of rows 1, 2, 5 and 6, and proceed to enter the text and components from the Embedded Components example 2 to look as above. In column 3, I merge the cells in rows 2, 3, 4, 5 in order to place the plot component as shown. The new cell seems to be considered as in the same row as its top merged cell, in this case, row 2.
I can't control vertical positioning in the plot cell in column 3. If I select the vertical alignment for the plot cell (which sets the same vertical alignment for all of row 2), to Centre or Bottom or Baseline, the alignment is to the centre or bottom or baseline of row 2, not of the plot cell. So when I paste the plot into the cell it extends up from the Centre or Bottom or Baseline of row 2, to well above the table's top border.
If instead I set the vertical alignment to Top, then the pasted plot fits into the cell since the top of the plot now aligns with the top of row 2. But that can be an annoying restriction. Also, I am no longer allowed to set the vertical alignment in rows 3, 4 or 5 because of the merged cell in column 3.
Maple document tables need to have two improvements:
 1. The ability to adjust vertical centring in a single cell (merged or not), instead of just across a row.
 2. The ability to resize row height. Currently it looks like document tables only allow resizing column width.
I guess my question is mainly, is there a better way to go about setting up a document table in order to control fairly precisely how it appears? And to get around some of these formatting restrictions?

It's been a couple of years since I last used the Excel add-in for Maple 17. It was working before, but now it isn't.
When I click any of the Maple icons in the Excel Add-Ins -> Custom Toolbars tab, I get a Visual Basic run-time error 453, "Can't find DLL entry point vbLoadMapleCursor in WMIMPLEX". The only choice in the dialogue is End, after which none of the Maple icons respond.
When I quit Excel after trying this, I get the same error dialogue except the message refers to vbMapleQuit. I select End, and then Excel exits. (If I don't touch the Maple icons during an Excel session, then of course no VB error dialogue referring to Maple pops up.)
An answer to a ten year old MaplePrimes question on the Excel add-in suggests editing the Excel 2010 32-bit path registry entry. Indeed my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Excel.exe Path key has no reference to Maple. However that info is so old, for Maple 9.5, that I hesitate to use it. I tried though. As suggested in that question, updated for Maple 17, I tried adding ";C:\Program Files (x86)\Maple 17\Excel\" to the end of the existing Path key entry, but I still get the same VB error. I also tried adding ";C:\Program Files (x86)\Maple 17\bin.win\", and both: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Maple 17\bin.win\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Maple 17\Excel\". I tried disabling and reloading the add-in from the Excel Add-Ins menu. Interestingly, even when I disable the add-in, the toolbar icons still show.
Anyway I'm at a loss how to proceed. Any help is appreciated. --Graham

Experience the photographic and aural history of the East Perth Power Power Station, from its beginning in 1916, through to its decommission in 1980.
This website takes you to East Perth in the 20th century to visit East Perth Power Station, the people who worked there, the children who grew up in its shadow, the local residents who lived close by and the consumers who used the electricity which the station generated. It tells of Aboriginal families who lived in East Perth and of the changing riverfront as industries grew and then moved out to newer suburbs. The power station together with other local industries had significant environmental impacts on the locality.
For much of the 20th century East Perth was the city's major industrial area and, from 1916 to 1980, the power station was one of the suburb's major workplaces. The workers who kept the station generating tell their work stories of power shortages and of the skilled efforts of everyone to keep the lights on and the city's industries, businesses and transport functioning. They tell of what work was like in a major heavy industrial workplace.
The station remains a heritage landmark, a site with engineering plant of world heritage significance.
East Perth Power Station lies at the heart of the electrification of Perth and at the beginnings of the southwest power grid. It deserves to be recognised and remembered as central to the fabric of life in 20th century Perth.
In turn, in highlighting our ever-expanding consumption of electricity, the station reminds us of the environmental limits to that consumption and the questions of sustainability which confront us in the 21st century.


text: Wytham Woods is a mixed deciduous forest in southern England. It covers approximately 400 ha, which is a relatively large woodland for the UK and includes a range of different soil types and management histories. Wytham is owned by Oxford University and is used by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) as a long-term monitoring site in the UK Environmental Change Network (ECN). A flux tower has occasionally operated on the site, measuring stand-scale carbon and water fluxes; a canopy walkway gives access to the leaves of canopy trees, and several studies of tree ecophysiology have been carried out there. A network of small (10 m x 10 m) ECN forest-monitoring plots is distributed across the site, and a 1-ha plot forms a focus for carbon-dynamics studies, including soil processes and tree growth. The core ForestGEO plot covers 18 ha (300 m x 600 m), and has been surveyed in detail by airborne lidar and hyperspectral sensors, and by terrestrial lidar.


that can be improved @rolandleth.

_URL_ Optionals, flatMap and you 2018-10-11T14:33 2018-10-11T14:33 Roland Leth _URL_ Say we have a UILabel where we want to display a birthdate with a full format, and an API from where we get a String? with iso8601 format. One of the ways to do this would be:
let dateFromAPI: String?
// [...]
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter.shared // 1
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZZZ"
if let dateString = dateFromAPI, // 2
 let date = dateFormatter.date(from: dateString) { // 3
 dateFormatter.dateFormat = nil
 dateFormatter.dateStyle = .full
 dateLabel.text = dateFormatter.string(from: date) // 4
}
DateFormatters are expensive to create, so we either create it here once, or use a shared one (1), we then check to see if we have a date from our API (2), then check if we can transform it to a date (3), then finally we can assign it to our dateLabel.text (4).
What about flatMap?
let dateFromAPI: String?
// [...]
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter.shared
dateLabel.text = dateFromAPI
 .flatMap { // 1
 dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZZZ"
 return dateFormatter.date(from: $0) // 2
 }
 .flatMap { // 3
 dateFormatter.dateFormat = nil
 dateFormatter.dateStyle = .full
 return dateFormatter.string(from: $0) // 4
 }
If dateFromAPI is not nil, the first flatMap closure will be called (1), where we transform the String to a Date (2), which if it's not nil (3), the second flatMap closure is called, where we transform the date intro a String (4), which will be assigned to dateLabel.text.
I'm a bit torn on which one is more readable, but other in other scenarios, using the latter might be preferable.

_URL_ Goalee 2018-10-08T11:00 2018-10-08T11:00 Roland Leth _URL_ Yesterday we released Goalee, an app that helps you not lose sight of your life's goals. The main idea behind the app is that all the annoyances, conflicts or so-called problems we face in our everyday lives pale in comparison with our true goals in life.
The issue I faced, as many others, is that I tend to lose track of what I desire most, exactly because of problems here and there. One approach is to start writing down your goals on a sheet of paper, which I did and it worked; for a while, because I eventually started overlooking said sheet of paper.
I then tried using to-do apps, or habit tracking apps for this purpose. But this isn't something to be checked off, something to record progress of, nor a habit to build; it's a mindset change, if you will. So I ended up building Goalee to add long/mid-term goals and remind myself about them on a daily/weekly basis.
Start your company one day? Become rich? Settle down? Become famous? Whatever it is, don't lose focus; don't forget what you desire most; or it will end up forgotten in the sea of daily struggles and it's not worth it.
Hope you never forget your destination, but also enjoy the journey!

_URL_ Handling the Next button automatically 2018-09-24T10:59 2018-09-24T10:59 Roland Leth _URL_ Entering text in multiple text fields is such a common pattern — everywhere, not just iOS — there should be a way to easily navigate from on field to the next, preferably the "correct" one. Sadly, iOS doesn't offer this feature, but let's see how we could accomplish this ourselves.
First, a quick recap on what we need:
 - See the Next button if there are any fields after the current one; preferably just ones that are still empty.
 - Tapping the Next button takes us to the correct field.
 - See the Return button if there are no more fields after the current one; preferably taking empty ones into consideration.
 - Tapping the Return button resigns the current responder.
 - Everything should work automatically, no matter the view and no matter how many fields there are.
 - Everything should probably be encapsulated in a protocol.
Cool, let's dive in and start with the protocol. What would we need here?
 - A list of text fields (1).
 - A method that handles the text fields' editing begin, to display the correct button (2).
 - A method that handles the text fields' editing end/return press, to perform the correct action (3).
protocol NextTextFieldHandler {
 var textFields: [UITextField] { get } // 1
 func setupReturnKeyType(for textField: UITextField) // 2
 func handleReturnKeyTapped(on textField: UITextField) // 3
}
The textFields property (1) can either hold all the fields on a view, or just the ones we're interested in navigating through — the protocol doesn't care about this, it's our job to decide what is needed, when adhering to the protocol. The two functions are used to cover our other two needs (2, 3).
extension NextTextFieldHandler {
 private var _textFields: [UITextField] {
 return textFields.filter { !$0.isHidden && $0.alpha != 0 && $0.isEnabled } // 1
 }
}
We could add some safety measures, in case we're not careful, which would also act as a convenience: these conditions will have to be written over and over, so we could filter out the hidden fields and the disabled ones automatically (1).
But, as stated above, the protocol shouldn't care about what goes in textFields; for whatever reason, we might want to include a disabled text field and there would be no way to do that. If you do know for sure the project has no weird scenarios, you can add the above property and use that instead of textFields.
Next, we need a way to extract all the fields after the current one:
extension NextTextFieldHandler {
 private func fields(after textField: UITextField) -> ArraySlice<UITextField> {
 let textFields = self.textFields // 1
 guard let currentIndex = textFields.index(of: textField) else { return [] } // 2
 return textFields.suffix(from: min(currentIndex + 1, textFields.endIndex - 1)) // 3
 }
}
We first save the array in a local constant for a slight boost of efficiency (1), since the textFields property might be a computed one. At a handful of text fields this boost is negligible, but it's still a good practice to not go through computed properties — especially when iterating — unless we actually need the property to be recalculated over and over, which we don't need.
We then find the index of the text field passed in, or bail out if we can't find it. Lastly, we return an ArraySlice with all the text fields starting with the one after the current.
Why use a slice? Because it keeps the original indices. So, for example, if we have [field1, field2, field3, field4] and we do a slice starting with index 2, we'd get [field3, field4], but each element would have the following indices: [2, 3]. We'll see in just a bit why this is needed.
One last thing before we move to the two functions: a simple helper to check if there are any empty fields in the above slice:
extension NextTextFieldHandler {
 private func emptyFieldsExist(after textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
 return fields(after: textField)
 .filter { $0.text?.isEmpty != false }
 .isEmpty == false
 }
}
It only takes the fields after the current, filters the one that have text in them and checks if the result is empty.
Finally, we can start implementing:
extension NextTextFieldHandler {
 func setupReturnKeyType(for textField: UITextField) {
 let textFields = self.textFields // 1
 guard let currentIndex = textFields.index(of: textField) else { return } // 2
 let emptyFieldsExistAfterCurrent = emptyFieldsExist(after: textField)
 if currentIndex < textFields.end

Arguments
Params (required)
As parameter, pass the following object:
 - collection: Required, the name of collection you want to work with.
 - query: query in MongoDB-style query syntax. Optional, defaults to: {} (match all).
 - sort: sort order, as a string, array or object. Optional. Example:
 { name: 1, age: -1 }
 - limit: max. number of documents in one page. Optional, defaults to 25. Overridable through options object.
 - page: page number, starting from 1. Optional, defaults to 1
Example:
{
 collection: 'users',
 query: {
 age: { $gt: 20 }
 },
 page: 1,
 limit: 25
}
Response
Result
It should return an object like below:
{
 success: true,
 total: 120,
 data: [
 { _id: 'james-bond', name: 'James Bond', age: 20 },
 { _id: 'jack-bauer', name: 'Jack Bauer', age: 20 },
 { _id: 'jason-bourne', name: 'Jason Bourne', age: 20 },
 ...
 ]
}
If no document found, it should NOT yield error. Instead, it sould return an empty data with total = 0.
total is the total number of documents found matched with your query. Optional, but strongly recommended to return this value.
Error
In case of error, it'll yield a normal Node error object you can catch through promise easily.

Assessment of the Solid-Phase Adsorption Method for Sampling Biomass-Derived Tar in Industrial Environments
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2013
Low-temperature gasification of biomass is a primary process step for production of biofuels or electricity using gas-fired engines or turbines. In addition to the desired product gas, the raw gas produced through gasification inevitably contains condensable hydrocarbons, known collectively as tar. The amount and composition of the tar have relevance for the efficiencies of the downstream processes. Tar can be measured using both online and off-line methods. However, many of these methods currently lack information regarding their implementation and accuracy levels for large-scale systems. In this work, the Solid-Phase Adsorption (SPA) method for measuring tar in industrial applications is evaluated. The individual steps of the method were examined for their effects on the overall performance of the analysis. Sample collection was found to be the most prominent source of error, and this was mainly due to human factors. Omitting to determine the temperature and pressure of the sampled gas contributed to this error, as the sampled volume of gas under normal conditions could not be correctly calculated. Inconsistencies in the treatment and storage of the collected samples were shown to affect the more volatile species with boiling points similar to that of benzene. The gas chromatography (GC) analysis was performed with satisfying accuracy. However, the reliability of the estimations of the average composition and dew-point of the tar mixture were dependent upon the amount of the identified species. The current implementation of the SPA method yields values with a relative standard deviation within 10% for the majority of the compounds in a given sample. However, in line with the result of previous studies, the tar species with boiling points between those of benzene and xylene (i.e., the BTX compounds) were measured with a lower accuracy than those of heavier tars.

Value thresholds[edit]
Value thresholds, while not as important as the exact value of a skill, are taken into account in various events to determine the chances for a good or bad outcome. Skills are decided by education traits and can be affected by other trait types.
Values Description
0–4 Terrible
5–8 Poor
9–12 Average
13–16 Good
17-68 Excellent
69 Nice
70+ Excellent
Dread is a measure of how feared a ruler is by their vassals. Enough dread compared to another character's boldness can make characters either intimidated or terrified, allowing most diplomatic actions to succeed despite negative opinion.
Dread is gained by various actions that inspire fear, such as torturing or executing prisoners. However, it is also possible to lose dread through actions showing compassion or weakness, including releasing prisoners and accepting faction demands. Each character additionally has natural dread which is the value towards which dread will drift over time (either up or down), at a base rate of 0.5 per month. The lifestyle perk Forever Infamous prevents dread from decaying.
Each character has a hidden boldness attribute, which is decided by its traits. A character becomes intimidated by characters whose dread is 20 above their own boldness and terrified by characters whose dread is 45 above their own boldness.
Intimidation and terror[edit]
Intimidated characters are less likely to join factions or schemes against the character they're intimidated by, while a terrified character will never join factions or schemes against them. In addition, it affects their acceptance for various character interactions:
Interaction Intimidated.png Intimidated acceptance Terrified.png Terrified acceptance
Arrange marriage +75 +150
Blackmail +50 +100
Negotiate alliance +50 +100
Offer guardianship +50 +100

Ask to take vows +25 +50
Imprison +25 +50
Retract vassal +25 +50
Revoke title +25 +50
Demand conversion +10 +20
Offer vassalage +10 +20
Marry -50 -75
Dread gain[edit]
The amount of dread gained through actions is modified by the following:
Source Dread gain
The Tower of London +30%
First Guile dynasty legacy perk +20%
Martial authority focus.png Authority focus +20%
Dreadful perk in Torturer tree ( Intrigue lifestyle) +30%

Health is a measure of how likely a character is to die. Male characters are born with health between (and including) 4.5 and 4.9; female characters are born with health between (and including) 5.0 and 5.4.[3] Once a character reaches the age of 25, they have a 7.5% chance to lose −0.125 health each year. The chance increases by 2.2% each year.
Health Can die Description Interval
Health negative.png Dying Yes You are at Death's doorstep health < 0
Health negative.png Near Death Yes You are not long for this world... 0 ≤ health < 1
Health.png Poor Yes You are ailing 1 ≤ health < 3
Health.png Fine No You are feeling fine 3 ≤ health < 5
Health positive.png Good No Your humors are balanced 5 ≤ health < 7
Health positive.png Excellent No You are full of vim and vigor! health ≥ 7
Some traits, tenets and modifiers provide bonuses Disease resistance (health). This means that any health penalties applied to the character are negated by the amount of disease resistance the character has. Note that there is also disease resistance for fertility.
Health boosts and penalties[edit]
Health effects have different names depending on the value:[4]
Displayed as Range of values
Catastrophic Health Penalty value < −4
Critical Health Penalty −4 ≤ value < −3
Severe Health Penalty −3 ≤ value < −1
Major Health Penalty −1 ≤ value < −0.75
Moderate Health Penalty −0.75 ≤ value < −0.5
Minor Health Penalty −0.5 ≤ value < −0.25
Tiny Health Penalty −0.25 ≤ value < 0
Small Health Boost 0 < value < +0.25
Medium Health Boost +0.25 ≤ value < +0.5
Significant Health Boost +0.5 ≤ value < +0.75
Huge Health Boost +0.75 ≤ value < +1
Massive Health Boost +1 ≤ value < +2
Godlike Health Boost +2 ≤ value
Death is the end of a character's life. For landed characters, it triggers succession for any held titles. There can be multiple causes:
 - When health is either poor, near death or dying, there is a chance at a given interval to die. The lower a character's health, the bigger this chance is.
 - Secret murder.png Upon success of a murder scheme, the targetted character dies.
 - The Attempt Suicide decision has a chance for the character to die.
 - Knights may die in battle or in duels, with this chance increasing with low prowess and other factors.
 - Characters may die when the holding they are currently residing in is captured in a siege.
 - Imprisoned characters may be executed by their jailors.
 - Various events may cause death.
See also: Breeding
Fertility represents a character's chance to have or cause pregnancy. Married couples and heterosexual lovers have a monthly chance to get the woman pregnant based on the average fertility of the two partners.
A character's base fertility is determined by their age:
Gender Age
16–25 26–30 31–35 36–40 41–45 46–50 51–60 61–70 70+
Male 100% 100% 100% 90% 80% 80% 70% 60% 50%
Female 100%

Introduction of Studies Life Sciences
Pursuing the comfortable daily lives of humans comprehensively.
Studies in the sciences of living aim to create more enjoyable human living through the research of family and household relations (such as between parent and child, or husband and wife), and the effects of living environments (such as aspects of food, clothing and shelter) on people.
Subjects that are studied include basic topics such as food science, clothing studies, housing studies, and child studies. Other subjects are also studied such as lifestyle management, family studies, family care, and textile science.
The sciences of living approaches issues people face in their daily lives to devise solutions for those issues. For example, there is the issue of the environmental pollution caused by the solid and water waste people generate in their daily lives. While considering expectations for comfortable living in communities and society, researchers are pursuing ways people can live in harmony with the natural environment.

Laravel 10.x Notifications
Notifications
Introduction
In addition to support for sending email, Laravel provides support for sending notifications across a variety of delivery channels, including email, SMS (via Vonage, formerly known as Nexmo), and Slack. In addition, a variety of community built notification channels have been created to send notifications over dozens of different channels! Notifications may also be stored in a database so they may be displayed in your web interface.
Typically, notifications should be short, informational messages that notify users of something that occurred in your application. For example, if you are writing a billing application, you might send an "Invoice Paid" notification to your users via the email and SMS channels.
Generating Notifications
In Laravel, each notification is represented by a single class that is typically stored in the app/Notifications directory. Don't worry if you don't see this directory in your application - it will be created for you when you run the make:notification Artisan command:
php artisan make:notification InvoicePaid
This command will place a fresh notification class in your app/Notifications directory. Each notification class contains a via method and a variable number of message building methods, such as toMail or toDatabase, that convert the notification to a message tailored for that particular channel.
Sending Notifications
Using The Notifiable Trait
Notifications may be sent in two ways: using the notify method of the Notifiable trait or using the Notification facade. The Notifiable trait is included on your application's App\Models\User model by default:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
 use Notifiable;
}
The notify method that is provided by this trait expects to receive a notification instance:
use App\Notifications\InvoicePaid;
$user->notify(new InvoicePaid($invoice));
Note:
Remember, you may use the Notifiable trait on any of your models. You are not limited to only including it on your User model.
Using The Notification Facade
Alternatively, you may send notifications via the Notification facade. This approach is useful when you need to send a notification to multiple notifiable entities such as a collection of users. To send notifications using the facade, pass all of the notifiable entities and the notification instance to the send method:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification;
Notification::send($users, new InvoicePaid($invoice));
You can also send notifications immediately using the sendNow method. This method will send the notification immediately even if the notification implements the ShouldQueue interface:
Notification::sendNow($developers, new DeploymentCompleted($deployment));
Specifying Delivery Channels
Every notification class has a via method that determines on which channels the notification will be delivered. Notifications may be sent on the mail, database, broadcast, vonage, and slack channels.
Note:
If you would like to use other delivery channels such as Telegram or Pusher, check out the community driven Laravel Notification Channels website.
The via method receives a $notifiable instance, which will be an instance of the class to which the notification is being sent. You may use $notifiable to determine which channels the notification should be delivered on:
/**
 * Get the notification's delivery channels.
 *
 * @return array<int, string>
 */
public function via(object $notifiable): array
{
 return $notifiable->prefers_sms ? ['vonage'] : ['mail', 'database'];
}
Queueing Notifications
Warning!!
Before queueing notifications you should configure your queue and start a worker.
Sending notifications can take time, especially if the channel needs to make an external API call to deliver the notification. To speed up your application's response time, let your notification be queued by adding the ShouldQueue interface and Queueable trait to your class. The interface and trait are already imported for all notifications generated using the make:notification command, so you may immediately add them to your notification class:
<?php
namespace App\Notifications;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class InvoicePaid extends Notification implements ShouldQueue
{
 use Queueable;
 // ...
}
Once the ShouldQueue interface has been added to your notification, you may send the notification like normal. Laravel will detect the ShouldQueue interface on the class and automatically queue the delivery of the notification:
$user->notify(new InvoicePaid($invoice));
When queueing notifications, a queued job will be created for each recipient and channel combination. For example, six jobs will be dispatched to the queue if your notification has three recipients and two channels.
Delaying Notifications
If you would like to delay the delivery of the notification, you may chain the delay method onto your notification instantiation:
$delay = now()->addMinutes(10);
$user->notify((new InvoicePaid($invoice))->delay($delay));
Delaying Notifications Per Channel
You may pass an array to the delay method to specify the delay amount for specific channels:
$user->notify((new InvoicePaid($invoice))->delay([
 'mail' => now()->addMinutes(5),
 'sms' => now()->addMinutes(10),
]));
Alternatively, you may define a withDelay method on the notification class itself. The withDelay method should return an array of channel names and delay values:
/**
 * Determine the notification's delivery delay.
 *
 * @return array<string, \Illuminate\Support\Carbon>
 */
public function withDelay(object $notifiable): array
{
 return [
 'mail' => now()->addMinutes(5),
 'sms' => now()->addMinutes(10),
 ];
}
Customizing The Notification Queue Connection
By default, queued notifications will be queued using your application's default queue connection. If you would like to specify a different connection that should be used for a particular notification, you may call the onConnection method from your notification's constructor:
<?php
namespace App\Notifications;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class InvoicePaid extends Notification implements ShouldQueue
{
 use Queueable;
 /**
 * Create a new notification instance.
 */
 public function __construct()
 {
 $this->onConnection('redis');
 }
}
Or, if you would like to specify a specific queue connection that should be used for each notification channel supported by the notification, you may define a viaConnections method on your notification. This method should return an array of channel name / queue connection name pairs:
/**
 * Determine which connections should be used for each notification channel.
 *
 * @return array<string, string>
 */
public function viaConnections(): array
{
 return [
 'mail' => 'redis',
 'database' => 'sync',
 ];
}
Customizing Notification Channel Queues
If you would like to specify a specific queue that should be used for each notification channel supported by the notification, you may define a viaQueues method on your notification. This method should return an array of channel name / queue name pairs:
/**
 * Determine which queues should be used for each notification channel.
 *
 * @return array<string, string>
 */
public function viaQueues(): array
{
 return [
 'mail' => 'mail-queue',
 'slack' => 'slack-queue',
 ];
}
Queued Notifications & Database Transactions
When queued notifications are dispatched within database transactions, they may be processed by the queue before the database transaction has committed. When this happens, any updates you have made to models or database records during the database transaction may not yet be reflected in the database. In addition, any models or database records created within the transaction may not exist in the database. If your notification depends on these models, unexpected errors can occur when the job that sends the queued notification is processed.
If your queue connection's after_commit configuration option is set to false, you may still indicate that a particular queued notification should be dispatched after all open database transactions have been committed by calling the afterCommit method when sending the notification:
use App\Notifications\InvoicePaid;
$user->notify((new InvoicePaid($invoice))->afterCommit());
Alternatively, you may call the afterCommit method from your notification's constructor:
<?php
namespace App\Notifications;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class Invo

What does the flow look like from the Advocate point of view?
- Navigate to the AdvocateHub URL
- There are two scenarios:
- If they have previously logged in to your portal and the cookie is still present in the browser then they will be brought directly to the AdvocateHub.
- If they have not previously logged in and have no cookie they will be invited to enter their login credentials to your platform, upon successful entry of these, they will be brought to the AdvocateHub.
Note: If an advocate is already a member of another AdvocateHub with the same email address then there is one additional step in the flow. After they successfully enter their credentials into the customer portal, they will see a message like below:
An email will be sent to the Advocate which will include a link which they just have to click on and they will be brought back to the login screen to enter their credentials once more before gaining access to the AdvocateHub.
Here is a visual walkthrough of the flow the Advocate will experience:
How do invites work with SSO?
You can get Advocates into your hub in a number of ways:
1. Join Code/Join URL - These work exactly the same as they would on a non-SSO hub. Read more on them here
2. As enabling SAML means anybody with access to your Identity Provider can access Influitive, you can also provide your Advocates with just your hub URL and they will be able to access. The disadvantage of this is the lack of segmentation.
3. You can send out traditional email invites from our system or Marketo. If you send these the Advocate must use the link provided in these emails or else they may encounter permission issues.
Things To Think About If Implementing SSO On An Active Hub
What can you do to prepare for this?
Can I have Employees access the AdvocateHub via SSO but Customers access using the traditional method?
Using SAML, no, anybody who has an account setup in the platform you are utilizing SSO in will be able to access the AdvocateHub. This is a case of all or nothing. If you want to use SSO then everybody has to login using it. So for example, if you have employees who have accounts in your portal they can login through SSO, but if you have customers who don't have an account in your portal they have no way to login when SSO is enabled in your AdvocateHub.
Where are the 'Terms and Conditions' and Consent housed when using SSO?
How does the AdvocateHub App work with SSO?


text: © 2020 Elsevier LtdThe recycling of agricultural wastes in cementitious products has recently been a trendy approach for the sustainability goals of the world as it ensures economic and ecological advantages in addition to the safe disposal of these wastes. In this regard, the potentiality of a biomass ash obtained from the incineration of pistachio shell to serve as a supplementary cementitious material is documented in the present study. An increase of up to 30% in the amount of pistachio shell ash resulted in the proportional increase of both water requirement and setting time of the ordinary Portland cement by up to 54% and 300%, respectively. The incorporation of up to 20% pistachio shell ash into the cement yielded specimens of comparable or higher compressive strength values relatively varying between 98% and 117% at the 28 days and later curing ages. Beside the cementitious property, it was observed that a presence of graphitic structures in the pistachio shell ash remarkably improved the mechanical and the microstructural properties of cement mortars. In conclusion, at least 10% incorporation of this ash into the cement is highly recommended for the cement industry as it is beneficial in achieving the highest ultimate (400-day) compressive strength and promotes no loss on the early (2-day) compressive strength.

SASFA, the Southern African Light Steel Frame Building Association, recently commissioned the Built Environment Division of the CSIR, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, to conduct a comparative thermal performance analysis for light steel frame housing and masonry housing. The research findings point to the energy efficiency of the light steel frame (LSF) house in terms of a lower need for electricity to power mechanical heating and cooling – to keep the internal temperature within a prescribed comfort range.
SASFA approached the CSIR to carry out the research in order to obtain an objective prediction of the thermal performance of the two different types of houses in the different South African climate zones.
The research looked at a typical 120m² single-storey house comparing a LSF house and a masonry house, both specified to be geometrically identical, with identical orientation. The LSF house complies in all respects to the South African standard SANS 517: Light Steel Frame Building. A masonry house with double leaf external clay brick walls, without any insulation in the walls or ceilings, was used for the base case comparison. The effects of adding (i) 40mm insulation in the ceilings (Brick B), and (ii) similar ceiling insulation as used in LSF buildings (140mm) and 50mm insulation in the external walls (Brick A), were also analysed.
The Built Environment Division used the EcotectTM V 5.6 software to carry out the predictive computer analyses. In order to eliminate the effect of user input data which could influence the outcome, it was decided to use a passive analysis process, that is, without making assumptions regarding the occupancy and usage patterns of the house. The heating effect of lights and appliances was also not taken into account.
The analyses were aimed at determining the number of hours of uncomfortably high or low temperatures in each of the buildings. The houses were considered to be naturally ventilated. The thermal comfort temperature range for naturally ventilated buildings in Pretoria is 17.80C to 28.30C and the adaptive model of thermal comfort was used in calculating the levels of thermal comfort in the two houses.
The electricity needed for heating and cooling each of the houses to thermal comfort levels – ranging from 20oC to 24oC, as recommended by SANS 204 – was also determined.
The major differences between the two types of buildings are the thermal insulation and the thermal mass. The walls in a LSF building have a greater level of thermal insulation but lower thermal mass than masonry buildings. The higher thermal mass in the walls of brick buildings reduces the diurnal internal temperature swings towards the average temperature, which may be too high or too low for comfort.
The results indicate that the LSF house will be warmer than the base case masonry house in summer and in winter. If the hours of discomfort due to high and low temperatures are added together, the LSF house performs somewhat better than the masonry alternative in all locations except Durban, although the advantage is small.
For example, in Pretoria's climate, the indoor temperature of the LSF house was within the thermal comfort range for 74% of the time compared with 71% for the base case masonry house.
However, assuming that the occupants of the houses will make use of electrically powered heating and cooling systems to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, the analyses indicate that the electricity required to heat the base case brick house to comfortable levels would on average be double that required for the LSF house, ranging from 89% more in Pretoria to 112% more in Bloemfontein. If cooling to comfortable temperatures is required, it would take on average three times more electricity to cool the base case brick house down to thermal comfort levels compared to the LSF house.
The difference in the amount of electricity required to heat or cool the internal spaces can be ascribed to the thermal mass of the masonry building: apart from having to heat the air inside the building, the walls of the masonry building absorb some of the heat, resulting in additional energy consumption. The inverse happens when cooling, when the heavy masonry walls have to be cooled down together with the air inside the building.
When the brick house is insulated, its performance improves. However, in Pretoria's summer climate, for example, while the LSF building will result in more hours of discomfort without heating and cooling than the masonry alternatives, the occupants will have less discomfort in winter, and less discomfort in total.
The CSIR's comparative thermal performance analyses indicate that LSF housing offers greater energy efficiency compared to conventional masonry housing – which means significant savings (between 20% and 90%) of electricity required particularly in respect of heating of residential buildings.
The CSIR research also indicated specific areas where further gains in energy efficiency can be captured for LSF building and SASFA reports that these will be investigated and implemented in the LSF building methodology.

Chapter 6 - Adding Routines to ProDOS
Page 103
This chapter explains device-handling routines that can be used with the ProDOS MLI. Because such routines are connected to and interact with the MLI, they are essentially invisible to the BASIC system program described in Appendix A of this manual and in BASIC Programming With ProDOS.
Appendix A explains the rules for installing routines when the BASIC system program is active.
The types of routines described in this chapter are:
 - clock/calendar routines
 - interrupt handling routines
 - disk driver routines.
Note: These routines must all begin with a CLD instruction and end with an RTS.
Clock/Calendar Routines
ProDOS has a built-in clock driver that queries a clock/calendar card for the date and time. After the routine stores that information in the ProDOS Global Page ($BF90-$BF93), either ProDOS or your own application programs can use it. See Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1. ProDOS Date and Time Locations
 49041 ($BF91) 49040 ($BF90)
DATE: | year | month | day |
TIME: | hour | | minute |
 49043 ($BF93) 49042 ($BF92)
You can cause ProDOS to call the clock driver and to update the date and time by issuing a GET_TIME call (see Section 4.6.1).
ProDOS calls the clock driver routine for every call that might need the date and time: CREATE, DESTROY, RENAME SET_FILE_INFO CLOSE, and FLUSH.
Page 104
The ProDOS clock driver expects the clock card's firmware to return information in a certain way. The ROM on the clock card must also follow Apple's identification convention if it is to be recognized by ProDOS at startup.
The ProDOS clock driver expects the clock card to send an ASCII string to the GETLN input buffer ($200). This string must have the following format (including the commas):
mo is the month (01 = January...12 = December)
da is the day of the week (00 = Sunday...06 = Saturday)
dt is the date (00 through 31)
hr is the hour (00 through 23)
mn is the minute (00 through 59)
For example:
would represent Thursday, July 14, 10:46 p.m. The year is looked up in a table in the clock driver.
When the ProDOS system file is executed, it installs the address of the clock routine at $BF07, $BF08 -- whether there is a recognized clock card or not.
ProDOS recognizes a clock card if the following bytes are present in the Cn00 ROM:
$Cn00 = $08
$Cn02 = $28
$Cn04 = $58
$Cn06 = $70
The address is preceded by a $4C (JMP) if a clock card is recognized, or by a $60 (RTS) if not.
The ProDOS clock driver uses the following addresses for its I/O to the clock:
Cn08 - READ entry point
Cn0B - WRITE entry point
The accumulator is loaded with an _TAG_ before the JSR to the WRITE entry point. This value could be used to let the clock card's firmware know in what format to leave the time.
The ProDOS driver takes the ASCII values sent by the clock, converts them to binary, and stores them in the ProDOS Global Page.
Page 105
The driver uses zero page locations $3A through $3E. It also saves and restores the peripheral RAM card location $F8+n, where n is the slot where the card resides.
Other Clock/Calendars
To support clock cards that do not follow the ProDOS protocol defined above, you can locate your code in a number of places. The cleanest solution is to replace the ProDOS routines with your own, if they fit.
If you look at $BF07,$BF08, you will find the location to put your code.
There is room for 125 bytes.
To install your code, simply write-enable the language card area, and move your code. Your relocation code must justify the absolute addresses as part of the relocation procedure. Finally, restore any soft switches you have changed. (There is no guarantee as to the absolute location of the clock-driver code on future revisions of ProDOS, only that its location can be found by examining the global page.) All that your code needs to do is get the time from the clock card, convert it to the ProDOS format, and store it in the date and time locations in the global page.
Your installation routine can be called either from an application program, or as part of the STARTUP program.
Interrupt Handling Routines
To aid the development of software that can handle interrupts, the MLI provides a convention for interfacing interrupt driven devices.
To use interrupts, you must install from one to four interrupt receiving routines somewhere in memory. It is up to you to check and update the system bit map to be sure that the routines do not conflict with ProDOS or other concurrently executing programs.
Once a routine is installed, you must use the ALLOC_INTERRUPT call to inform the MLI of the starting address of the receiving routine. After this call has been successfully completed, you may enable the hardware for interrupts.
Page 106
When an interrupt occurs, the MLI's interrupt handler preserves the 6502's registers, zero page locations $FA thru $ff, and, if the stack is more than 3/4 full, 16 bytes of the stack. Then it calls each receiving routine (via JSR), one by one, in the order in which they were installed. Each installed routine must begin with a CLD instruction.
When the routine that can process the interrupt is called, it should carry out its task, clear the interrupt on the hardware, and return (via an RTS) with the carry flag clear. When a routine that cannot process the interrupt is called, it should return (via an RTS) with the carry flag set so that the MLI knows to call the next routine in the list.
As mentioned above, all 6502 registers, locations $FA thru $FF and if the stack is more than 3/4 full, 16 bytes of the stack, are preserved.
The interrupt routine may use these resources freely for temporary data storage.
Note: There is no general way for an interrupt routine to identify whether or not its device was the source of the interrupt. This task depends on the specific characteristics of the device; in fact, some devices provide no mechanism for interrupt verification. It is necessary to service such a device after all others have been polled.
If no installed and allocated routine claims a pending interrupt, a SYSTEM FAILURE message will be displayed and program execution will be halted.
When finished with a interrupt driven device, a DEALLOC_INTERRUPT call should be made, but only after the device itself is disabled.
This Warning does not apply to the Apple IIc nor to Apple IIe's with enhanced ROMs. Because the Apple II Monitor program relies on a zero-page location ($45) that is overwritten when an interrupt occurs, you should disable interrupts while you are using the Monitor program. The system also uses location $7F8 to store the I/O slot location that was in use before an interrupt occurred; do not use this location.
Page 107
Interrupts During MLI Calls
The preceding section does not discuss what a program should do if an interrupt were to occur during the execution of an MLI call and your interrupt handling routine itself makes calls to the MLI.
The interrupt routine must allow the MLI to complete its current call before initiating a new call to the MLI. The mechanism for doing this consists of changing the globals so that the MLI completes its call and returns to your routine rather than to the the routine that originally called it. Then your routine can use the MLI as needed. When it is finished, it must restore the 6502 registers to the state they would have been in at completion of the MLI call had the interrupt not occurred, and then jump back to the proper address in the original routine.
To do this, the interrupt handling routine should first check the status of the MLI. If the flag MLIACTV ($BF9B) has the high bit set, then the MLI was in the middle of a call. Your routine should then:
1. Save the return address of the original caller (CMDADR, $BF9C), replacing it with the address to which the MLI should return on completion of the current call.
2. Claim the interrupt by disabling interrupts on the hardware, and clearing the carry flag.
3. RTS
4. The MLI's interrupt handler believes that the interrupt has been processed, so it completes the current MLI call and returns to the address in CMDADR, which is actually in your routine. Your routine should now do this:
5. Save the A, X, Y, and P registers as the return state for the routine whose call just completed.
6. Use the MLI as needed.
7. Restore the A, X, Y, and P registers.
8. Jump to the original CMDADR.
The original program sees only that its MLI call was successfully completed, and it continues execution.

The reservoir will be about twice the size of this reservoir in Florida.
The embankment of the new reservoir will be similar to this reservoir in Ohio. The sides will be about 40 feet tall.
The Lower Colorado River Authority is aggressively working to expand the region's water supply and meet the LCRA Board of Directors' goal of adding 100,000 acre-feet per year to the region's water supply.
Lane City Reservoir Project
The largest of LCRA's new water supply projects is an off-channel reservoir LCRA is building near the Texas Gulf Coast. The project will be the first significant new water supply reservoir developed in the lower Colorado River basin in decades. The Lane City Reservoir will be constructed off the main channel of the Colorado River, near Lane City in Wharton County.
The reservoir could add up to 90,000 acre-feet of firm water to the region's supply. Firm water is water that can be counted on without shortage even during a repeat of the worst drought conditions in the region's history.
The Highland Lakes were created to manage floods on the Colorado River and to provide a sustainable source of water for the basin as a whole. The Lane City Reservoir is the first project that will allow LCRA to capture and store significant amounts of water downstream of the Highland Lakes. The new reservoir will benefit the entire basin by helping reduce the amount of water otherwise required to be released from the Highland Lakes.
The reservoir is expected to begin operating in 2018.
Key reservoir project milestones
- January 2012: LCRA Board sets goal of adding 100,000 acre-feet to water supply.
- August 2012: LCRA Board of Directors authorizes the project.
- January 2013: LCRA Board approves $18 million for Phase 1a of the project to purchase property and conduct the initial design, engineering and permitting.
- April-September 2013: LCRA Board selects the design engineer and purchases land. The Board hires a construction manager at risk (CMAR) to work collaboratively with the engineer to optimize project design and to perform preconstruction services, including design improvements and efficiencies, a constructability assessment, construction of test embankments, and preliminary site work.
- March 2014: LCRA Board approves $17 million for Phase 1b to fund the final design and move an electric transmission line off the property.
- September 2014: Texas Water Development Board approves $255 million in financing to fund the project.
- September 2014: LCRA Board approves Phase 2 of the project, authorizing construction of the reservoir.
- December 2014: LCRA breaks ground on the project.
- November 2015: LCRA Board selects a general construction contractor to maximize efficiency completing the project.
- 2016: Construction begins.
- 2018: Reservoir is projected to be complete.
Bastrop groundwater project
LCRA drilled four wells as part of the Bastrop County groundwater project. The project has added 10,000 acre-feet to the water supply by allowing LCRA to pump up to 10,000 acre-feet of water a year, under certain conditions, at LCRA's Lost Pines Power Park in Bastrop County.
Additional Water Projects
LCRA is exploring additional water strategies for Central Texas, including using surface water, treated effluent and groundwater to address the needs of the high-growth areas of LCRA's water service area. LCRA will shorten the timeline to bring the new projects on-line by having the projects' planning, design and permitting done before they are needed.


Study OF Rheological Properties Of (PEO-PMMA) ) Blends.
This study includes measurement of some rheological properties of polyethylene oxide (PEO), (polyethylene oxide + Polymethyl methacrylate( (PEO + PMMA ) polymers by using solvent Dimethylformamide (DMF) at room temperature such as density and shear viscosity. Other types of viscosities, viscosity average molecular weight and effective molecular radius were theoretically calculated. These samples were prepared in different concentrations (0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8 g/ml) % as solutions then the additive (PMMA) as (0.25 g ) and ( 0.5 g) respectively, where the samples were prepared by liquids mixture. Results show that there are an increases in the density values, shear viscosity, relative viscosity and intrinsic viscosity, with increasing concentration of (PEO) before and after adding (PMMA) polymer. However it was found that the reduced viscosity of (PEO) and its additive are inversely proportional with concentrations.


Can't Be Calculated, Would Require Summing Deduplicated Values
This guide applies to this message that can appear in your results for unique count metrics, such as Facebook's "Reach" metrics:
Example query result showing the "can't be calculated..." message for Facebook reach
Data Studio specifically may not show this error in the results. It may instead show the results as "0" or "null" when this is happening, making it harder to diagnose. If you do see "0" or "null" for metrics that should have values, this may be what is causing that.
If the data source calculates a metric to be a unique count, it's usually doing the calculation based on a specific object the ad, campaign, account, post, etc. So if the query then is not split in a unique enough way, this message will appear. This may be that the query is not split at all, or that there are ads/campaigns/objects with the exact same name. In this case Supermetrics will try to sum those based on shared name or some other dimension, and fail to do so as they should be unique counts for unique objects.
As seen in the example above, there are multiple ads with the same names. When Supermetrics tries to sum those, it cannot and instead give the error.
The best resolution is to modify your query to include another dimension field that is unique - such as the ad ID, Campaign ID, Post ID, etc. The sums will then be split according to their unique object and clear the error.
The original example now split by Ad ID shows the reach values properly - you'll note the ad names are clearly not unique and was the cause of the original problem:
Example query result showing data split by Ad ID and being able to get the reach values for all ads
Some products also have an advanced setting to "ALLOW_SUM_UNIQUE", which bypasses this safety message and will sum them anyway. Note that this can lead to false values for unique metrics and is not recommended. (This setting is not available for Data Studio, you need to use the fix above.)
Example of the Advanced Setting for Google Sheets:

LIGHT TRANSPORT IN THE ATMOSPHERE. VOLUME 1: MONTE CARLO STUDIES
Annual rept., 1 Aug 1965-31 Aug 1966
RADIATION RESEARCH ASSOCIATES INC FORT WORTH TX
Pagination or Media Count:
The Monte Carlo codes LITE-I and LITE-II were used to compute light transmission data for point and plane sources. The results of these calculations showed that there is no correlation between the scattered transmission data for point isotropic and plane parallel sources. The LITE codes were used to analyze experimental data on light transport in the atmosphere. Reasonably good agreement was obtained for those cases where data were available to adequately describe the atmosphere at the time of the experiments. Calculations were performed to determine the angular dependence of the number albedo from thick cumulus clouds for 0.45 light incident at various angles to the cloud. The polar angular distributions of the reflected photons were found to be cosine distributions and the total number albedo was expressed mathematically. Studies were performed to determine the sensitivity of the LITE-I calculated scattered intensities for a point isotropic monochromatic source to changes in the source and receiver altitudes, aerosol number density, aerosol phase function, altitude variation of the aerosol scattering coefficient and the altitude of the bottom of a cloud layer above the source point. It was found for the source-receiver geometry considered in these studies that the LITE calculations were more sensitive to changes in the number density of the aerosol particles than to changes in the shape of the aerosol phase function.
