The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the type and severity of a crime and the offender's known history (past or present) of controlled substance abuse.
A random sample of federal cases between the years _PHONE_ was used to see if the offender's known problem with substance abuse had any impact on the severity of the recommended and actual sentence imposed on the offender.
Specific control variables such as race, age, educational level, and marital status of the offenders were also incorporated.

Natural native-spoken Spanish can be challenging for learners. Not everyone speaks slowly and precisely like the teacher in your classroom, or the way they speak in made-for-study recordings. Lupa stories, by Radio Ambulante, are made for native listeners. This is exactly what you need to train your ears.
Lupa lets you slow everything down, all the way to half speed (0.5x), using the audio speed controls.
Make sure Assist Mode is on (the 'light bulb' icon is yellow.)
While studying a new chapter, find a comfortable speed where you can hear at least half of the words. After you feel confident with the material, make sure to listen once through the chapter with Assist Mode off (white 'light bulb' icon) so your ears get used to listening at native speeds.
Remember, there's a world of difference between "slow Spanish" and native Spanish at a slower speed. With Lupa you're always listening to authentic Spanish, the kind you'll hear in the real world.
Read about all the other features at your fingertips to help you listen and understand effectively.

Part of Lesson Plan: Financial Planning NEFE Lesson 4 - Roadblocks and Your Financial Plan
Activity Overview / Details
Time: 1 and 1/2 class periods
Have students pair up to create a skit on handling roadblocks that might come up. Each student is to tell their partner a possible roadblock that they have thought of. Their partner is to come up with solutions or changes that the other could/should make and together create a skit (not less than 1 minute or more than 2 minutes each) on how they would explain their ideas and/or solution to their partner.
Teachers can put roadblocks on pieces of paper and put them in a container for those students that have a hard time thinking of one. Give student teams 5 to 8 minutes minutes to discuss the situation and then begin.

Yes there is, You can use ACLs to grant or deny permissions to a user or a group of users to invoke a menu command for a specific KM application instance. For example, a user may have permission to execute a certain menu command on a test system instance, but not on the production system instance running on the same managed system computer.
For specific information on how to set ACL settings on menu commands, please read the section on Using ACLs on Menu Commands, pages 98-99, in the PATROL Central Operator – Microsoft Windows Edition Getting Started guide. It has a very clear example on this very task.
Hope that helps.

They calculated wind climatologies and probabilities of average peak wind occurrence based on the average speed. The climatologies were calculated for each tower and month, and were stratified by hour, direction, and direction/hour. For the probabilities of peak wind occurrence, MSFC calculated empirical and modeled probabilities of meeting or exceeding specific 10-minute peak wind speeds using probability density functions. The AMU obtained and reformatted the data into Microsoft Excel PivotTables, which allows users to display different values with point-click-drag techniques. The GUI was then created from the PivotTables using Visual Basic for Applications code. The GUI is run through a macro within Microsoft Excel and allows forecasters to quickly display and interpret peak wind climatology and likelihoods in a fast-paced operational environment. A summary of how the peak wind climatologies and probabilities were created and an overview of the GUI will be presented.

If your company uses Microsoft programming and the .NET platform to develop applications, you want to know your way around a few basic commands. For example, installing applications using the MSI format typically involves a user clicking on a program and beginning the process. But if you package MSI files in your software, you can use basic VBScript to create a "shell" object that runs Windows commands, including executing these MSI files.
1. Open Notepad and create a file named "msi_run.vbs".
2. Insert the following code at the beginning of the file to create a VBScript object that can execute commands on a Windows system: Dim runner = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.shell")
3. Enter the following code on the next line to execute the MSI installer program with an MSI file as the argument, where "example.msi" is a sample file name and will vary: runner.Run "msiexec.exe /i ""C:\example.msi"" env=prod /qb!"

Target visualisation is main goal of the practical radargram recovering procedure. There are a lot of visualisation algorithms (2D-filtering. migration. FFT etc.) that is mainly based on final images processing. Existent methods are not frequently allowed to get adequate results due to considerably complex properties of the surrounding target environment.
In this work an approach to target visualisation based on phased-array effect in antennas with transient excitation is proposed and discussed. This reconstruction method uses initial information about properties of the used for radargram getting antennas. Preliminary results of this approach, its applicability and sensitivity are presented.
An Approach of Target Visualisation
In contrast to antennas behaviour with sinusoidal or narrow frequency band excitation such one with transient excitation has some differences. As a matter of fact transient radiation of an antenna depends on its geometry. If pulse generator impedance and input antenna impedance is matched in the antenna is observed so-called double-passing excitation mode. hi this case temporary structure of the antenna radiation field consists of three impulses sequence. Note that time delays between neighbouring impulses are associated to antenna length and the second impulse polarity is inverse one to the first and third pulses.
Let's consider monopole linear antenna with impulse excitation in Cartesian coordinates as it is shown in Fig. 1. Assume that the antenna length is L and a target coordinates is (X0. Y0). Distances from target to excitation point and antenna edges are Rl and R2. accordingly.

How can I calculate pixel intensity in an ROI?
I'm looking for suggestions on how I can use GIMP to calculate pixel intensity in an ROI. This kind of function is frequently used in gel electrophoresis analysis, where the software will identify gel bands and calculate relative concentration based on pixel intensity. I'm actually analyzing microscope images, but the principle is the same. I need to calculate the average intensity of pixels within a specific region. Any suggestions?
I would also be very interested in what you mentioned. Would be glad, if someone has an idea. greets, Benjamin
What I could think about a stupid way to do it is by means of histogram, as follows: 1. Highlight a blank lane of gel or background and check the limits of pixels in the histogram, say 170-255. The smaller figure will be used later. 2. Move the same rectangular mask to a lane containing one band. Redo the histogram. This time you should see more pixels distributing on the left side of the histogram, i.e. smaller number of the scale. 3. Move the right limit to 170, the number obtained in step 1 which serves as the lightest gray color to be discarded. 4. Move one step more to 171, and you should see the pixel number changed. Record the difference. 5. Subsequent move of the right limit until all have counted. (Up to this step I think I'm stupid enough to do this!) 6. Here comes the core: for 171, say there is 5 pixels. The "quantity of protein / nucleic acid" at this particular level of gray corresponds to 5 x (255-171+1) = 425. 7. Calculate similarly for different gray levels having pixels, and add them all. This would be the final "band intensity". Here comes to my problem that how could we obtain a list of numbers of pixels at particular gray level for such calculation, but not by moving the limits one by one with my own hands. My way is not doable for many bands on the gel.
Can you provide a sample image and what you are looking for as a result? This should be easy enough to script. -Rob A>

The pco.flim is the first Frequency Domain FLIM camera using a two tap CMOS sensor. Synchronized modulation of pixels and stimulated light enables you the analysis of luminescence decay times in the range of 100 ps – 100 µs.
With its 1008 x 1008 pixels resolution the pco.flim reads out 45 double frames/s at a max. You can use it for a modulation frequency range of 5 kHz – 40 MHz.
Using C-mount as standard the system is easy to connect to any microscope or lens. Further, the USB 3.0 interface lets you connect the camera to all kinds of computers. This saves you significant efforts and costs for operation and research.
The pco.flim laser is a homogeneously illuminating light source designed for use with the pco.flim. It features a digital modulation frequency range of 0 – 250 MHz. You can either order the pco.flim laser for widefield epifluorescence microscope illumination, or for Total-Internal-Reflection-Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) and confocal spinning disk microscopy.
Choose between a wide range of different wavelengths and light output powers. The laser is ideally suited if your relevant luminescence lifetimes are in the range of a few nanoseconds. In case you are using a Nikon microscope, the Nikon double-safety-shutter option is also available.

The City of Playford is embarking on an Integrated Water Management Plan known as 'Waterproofing Playford'. It aims to conserve water through various innovative water management policies, strategies and projects. Six major supply areas, in addition to several community bores, were identified to serve a total of 106 new customers consisting of 80 parklands/reserves/sportsfields and 26 schools. The total peak demand is approximately 300 L/s with a reticulation network of approximately 78 km.
Tonkin Consulting was engaged to carry out the concept design of the distribution network using hydraulic modelling. In addition, the scope included water hammer analysis of the network at various implementation stages. The outcomes of the project were to assist the City of Playford in design requirements and with the application for additional government funding for the project.
The project involved the use of a hydraulic model built using WaterGEMS to design the distribution network and to analyse various scenarios. The hydraulic modelling found a major opportunity to reduce capital expenditure without compromising on connection numbers and service delivery. Further optimisation to improve performance was carried out using Demand Scheduling which minimised the need for larger infrastructure requirements, such as pumps and additional pipelines. The water hammer analyses involved the use of HAMMER to investigate two operational events: sudden pump stoppage due to power failure events; and rapid valve closure.

If a recipe calls for barley, should you use hulled or pearl? Can you substitute one for the other? What's the difference?
Hulled barley, also known as barley groats, is the whole grain form of barley, with only the outermost hull removed. Chewy and rich in fiber, it's the healthiest kind of barley. However, it takes longer to cook than pearl barley, about an hour or more.
Pearl barley is the most common form of barley. It's still chewy and nutritious, but less so than hulled barley because the outer husk and bran layers have been removed. The polished grains are also softer and take less time to cook, about 40 minutes.
Most recipes call for pearl barley or intend for cooks to use this type even if they don't specify. However, it is usually fine to substitute hulled barley. Just be aware that you may need to adjust the recipe cooking time.
Here are a few recipes from the Kitchn archives:

EPA works with our Mexican neighbors on the U.S.-Mexico Environmental Program, a collaboration between the United States and Mexico to improve the environment and protect the health of the nearly 12 million people living along the border. The bi-national program focuses on cleaning the air, providing safe drinking water, reducing the risk of exposure to hazardous waste, and ensuring emergency preparedness along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Border 2012 program closed this year after successfully meeting and exceeding program goals and objectives. Along the border, more than 12 million scrap tires were removed and properly disposed of, more than 54,000 homes were connected to safe-drinking water system, and more than 540,000 homes were connected to wastewater systems.
2012 National Coordinators Meeting
EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson and Mexican Secretary for the Environment Juan Elvira Quesada met in Tijuana on August 8, 2012 to sign the Border 2020 framework agreement for continued environmental cooperation along the U.S- Mexico border. They were joined by U.S. and Mexican officials attending the annual National Coordinator Meeting (PDF).
The Border 2020 Program is the latest environmental initiative implemented under the 1983 La Paz Agreement. Building on the Border 2012 Environmental Program, it emphasizes regional, bottom-up approaches for decision making, priority setting, and project implementation to address the environmental and public health problems in the border region.
Border 2020 will seek to reduce pollution in water, air, and on land, reduce exposure to chemicals from accidental releases or terrorism, and improve environmental stewardship. Learn more about Border 2020 Goals and Objectives.
Border 2020 will build on the success of Border 2012 by maintaining the bottom-up approach to program design, and by committing to strategic priorities to achieve an ambitious set of Goals and Objectives.

ok responds under different load testing scenarios. The following subsections provide some examples of spike testing and soak testing using ApacheBench.
Spike testing
Spike testing requires you to send a constant number of requests to the webhook for some time and suddenly increase the load. For example, you may set up a test that sends a load of 10 queries per second (QPS) with a few spikes of 60 QPS.
You can run the following ApacheBench command to send 60 concurrent requests to your webhook:
ab -n 60 -c 60 -p ActionRequest.json -T 'application/json' _URL_
Assume the ActionRequest.json file contains the captured request payload sent to your webhook.
Soak testing
Soak testing requires you to send a constant number of requests to the webhook and observe the response. For example, you may set up a test that sends a constant load of 10-20 QPS for several minutes to see if response times increase.
You can run the following ApacheBench command to send 1200 requests, with 10 concurrent requests every second:
ab -t 120 -n 1200 -p ActionRequest.json -T 'application/json' _URL_
Assume the ActionRequest.json file contains the captured request payload sent to your webhook.
Analyzing load testing results
After running load tests, analyze the results for webhook response times. Indicators of issues in your webhook implementation are usually trends like a median response time that increases with every test run, or a worst-case response time that is unacceptable for your Action.
End-to-end testing
End-to-end testing prior to submitting your Action for approval uses the Actions console simulator. You can find steps for end-to-end testing via the Actions console simulator in the documentation for deploying an action. Performing these tests helps you remove potential uncertainties from the Actions on Google infrastructure component.

Definition of Klumpke palsy
Klumpke palsy: A form of brachial plexus palsy in which there is paralysis of the muscles of the forearm and hand due to an injury to the roots of eigth cervical and first thoracic roots or the lower part of the brachial plexus, a network of spinal nerves that originates in the back of the neck, extends through the axilla (armpit), and gives rise to nerves to the upper limb. The brachial plexus is formed by the union of portions of the fifth through eighth cervical nerves and the first thoracic nerve, all of which come from the spinal cord.

Flojet 115 VAC and 12 VDC Demand Pumps
Questions & Answers
- What Flojet Pumps are recommended for potable water?
- Only pumps with Santoprene / EPDM elastomers are recommended for potable water
- Can Flojet Pumps run continuously?
- The Flojet manual states Intermittent duty. Can be run continuously for short periods of time. The higher the duty cycle the shorter the expected life of the pump.
- What does short periods of time mean?
- Up 60 minutes with discharge pressure of up to 20 PSI. Up to 20 minutes when the discharge pressure is over 20 PSI. The off-time should be the same or more than the run time.
- What is meant by demand operation?
- Demand Operation is considered an "intermittent duty" application.
- What is an intermittent duty cycle?
- The maximum intermittent duty cycle is that which will cause the motor to reach its maximum thermal limits. Once the maximum thermal limit is reached, the motor must be allowed to settle to a lower temperature ideally being ambient before resuming operation. Running the pump at or near the maximum thermal limit for extended period of time will shorten the life of the pump and may result in immediate pump failure.
- What diaphragm and valve materials are recommended by Flojet for potable water?
- Only pumps with Santoprene / EPDM elastomers are recommended for potable water.
- Are Flojet pumps recommended for permanent residential domestic water applications?
- Units are NOT designed for permanent residential domestic water applications.
- Can I connect rigid pipe to the pump?
- FLOJET does not recommend the use of rigid pipe and fittings. Use flexible hose of the correct pressure rating that is compatible with the fluid to be pumped. Tubing should be at least 20 inches in length to avoid excess stress on the pump ports.
- Should I use a check valve on the pump suction line?
- The use of check valves in the plumbing system could interfere with the priming ability of the pump. If a check valve is installed in the plumbing it must have a cracking pressure of no more than 2 PSI
- Should I use a strainer on the pump inlet?
- Flojet recommends the use of a minimum 40-mesh strainer or filter in the pump inlet line will prevent foreign debris from entering the system. Failures due to foreign debris entering the pump will not be covered under the limited warranty.
- Can Flojet pumps be used (intermittent duty) for hydraulic oil and water-glycol?
- For petroleum based products such as hydraulic oil use Buna diaphragm and check valves, the same with Glycol use Buna diaphragm and check valves.

messages from the other end of the topic (like for example an app). In the situation of our case where we have Kafka running locally, a single setup likes this (shown below) does the trick.
However, it doesn't quite cover the parallelization strengths of Kafka. What if you for example have 100,000 messages coming in per minute from a producer, which in turn ought to be consumed in a swift and efficient fashion? One way to tackle this would be to bring together multiple brokers in a Kafka cluster (let's say 10) with each broker getting assigned a so-called partition of the topic. Along this way, each unique message would then be appended to a single partition as it comes in. Then, you could assign each partition to a single consumer — with the end-result being 10 consumers processing 10,000 messages in parallel.
As this post focuses on the engineering required to automate the process of incorporating new data in a ML model, we don't quite require an extensive set of producers, brokers and consumers. Therefore, we stick to one producer, one broker and one consumer. This can be traced back in the Docker Compose YAML file, where in the section that sets out the Kafka container you can find the set up of one topic with one partition and one replica (i.e. a backup copy) along the following instruction: KAFKA_CREATE_TOPICS: "TopicA:1:1" .
With the help of the Kafka-Python API we can now simulate a data stream by constructing a Producer that publishes messages to the topic. In dags/src/data/kafka_producer.py (shown below)you will find a function that 1) sets up a Producer that connects to the topic and 2) randomly samples observations from the streaming sample we previously stored in the data folder, which it in turn converts to JSON and pushes to the Kafka topic.
Now that we have constructed the Producer function, we can create a DAG around it so that Airflow can periodically trigger a stream of data that is pushed by the Producer into the topic. In dags/stream_DAG.py (shown below)you will find exactly the DAG that does this. Let's park the actual 'trigger'-part of the DAG for now and move on to the part where we periodically fetch data from the topic, which is then used to update the model.
3) Periodically retrieving data from Kafka and updating the ML model
To fetch the data from the Kafka topic, we turn again to the Kafka-Python API to construct a Consumer. This Consumer is wrapped in a function that sequentially retrieves observations from the topic, which it in turn converts back from JSON to its original format and groups together in a NumPy array which is stored (in pickle format) in the to_use_for_training folder. Next to this, we need a function that loads the data from the to_use_for_training folder, so that it can be incorporated it in the ML model. Both functions can be found in dags/src/data/data_functions.py, which is shown below.
From here we enter the part where we actually get to define how to update the model. In dags/src/models/update_functions.py, you will find the custom Python functions that take care of this (shown below).
The update_model function in update_functions.py does most of the heavy lifting:
 1. it takes in the data we fetched from the Kafka topic
 2. it loads the current model and gauges how it scores on the test set*
 3. it does a number of epochs of gradient descent with the new data and accordingly adjusts the weights of the model**
 4. it then tests whether the adjusted model scores better on the test set than the current version — and if it does, it replaces the current version and moves the latter to a model archive. If it doesn't it sticks to the current version of the model
 5. in addition, it moves the data it used for updating the model to the used_for_training folder and logs a set of metrics corresponding to each update run to MLFlow
*Note: we are working here with a test set that remains static over each update run. In order to properly assess the relative performance of a model , it might be worthwhile to adjust the test set in line with how the real life environment of the model changes . However, as we're focusing on the engineering side of things in this blog, we will pass on the construction of a dynamic test set.
**Note: As we do more and more update runs over time, the neural network can have the tendency to forget the things it learned from the original (initial) dataset. In case the real life environment changed and the new data resembles this new situation, there is nothing much wrong. However, if this isn't the case one might choose to blend a small portion of the original dataset in each periodic new data sample, to cover for this tendency.
The only thing that's remaining on the list, is a DAG that sequentially triggers these functions (and thus updates the model) at an interval of our choice. This DAG can be found in dags/src/update_dag.py — which is shown below.
The main trick here is that we pass on variables as a result of a task to the next task. This is done by so-called XCOMs, which allows tasks to exchange messages. Take for example the preprocessing task in the DAG above. Once we have loaded the data with the preceding load_data task, we then in the next task (the preprocessing task) access this data by calling the output variables of the load_data task. This is done by means of the below:
ti = kwargs['ti']
loaded = ti.xcom_pull(task_ids='load_data')
Note that throughout this DAG quite some of the actions involved in incorporating new data in the model are put in separate tasks. This especially from a monitoring point of view can come in handy as this allows you to swiftly pinpoint bottlenecks in the process in case something has gone wrong during an update run.
4) Kicking in the fireworks
Now that we have all the DAGs and corresponding functions defined, it is time to get the ball rolling and train an initial model, post streaming data to Kafka, fetch this data and update the model. To do this, we have to start the environment by executing the Docker Compose YML, which is done by running the following commands:
docker compose -f docker-compose-project.yml build
docker compose -f docker-compose-project.yml up
With these commands, you got the five containers up and running. You can check this by opening the Airflow and MLFlow dashboards in your browser through localhost:8080 and localhost:5000, respectively.
Now, to turn on each of these DAGs you have to sequentially nudge each respective switch on the Airflow dashboard (shown below). Once this is done, it will instantly train an initial model, push streaming data into the bespoke Kafka topic and update the model. From that point on, it will post streaming data to the Kafka topic on an hourly basis and update the ML model on a daily basis (at midnight).
The results of each update run are logged to MLFlow (shown in the figure below). Along its current setup, you will find for each run, the number of samples that were used to update the model, the accuracy and loss of the model that is currently in place and the updated model, the number of epochs and the batch size used — and whether or not a run led to the current version of the model being replaced.
In summary, we train an initial model, we simulate streams of new data that are pushed to a Kafka topic on an hourly basis, and we fetch new data from this same topic every day and use it to update the model. We do this by leveraging the streaming data capabilities of Kafka, the task automation power of Airflow and the logging features of MLFlow — all structured along a set of Docker containers orchestrated by means of Docker Compose.
There are many more things you can do with these tools in a machine learning setting — and there is ample room for further tweaking beyond the basics when it comes to incorporating new data in a ML model. That said, should you have further suggestions for expanding on this topic — do feel free to drop me a line!

Risk Terminator provides a framework where Risk analysis can be triggered during User and Role maintenance activities using SU01, SU10 and PFCG directly in the plug-in system.
The Risk Terminator is a service that runs in the SAP ABAP back-end system and triggers automated risk analysis check when defined segregation of duties (SoD) access risks are violated during User or Role maintenance directly in the plug-in system..
Below are the configuration details to configure Risk Terminator.
In GRC system maintain the below configuration settings in the path: SPRO -> IMG -> GRC -> Access Control -> Maintain Configuration Settings
Plug-In System Config
Make sure that below mentioned User Exits exist in the plug-in system in the path: SPRO -> IMG -> GRC (Plug-in) -> Maintain User Exits for Plug-in systems. If they don't exist, create the entries and save them.
In Plug-In system maintain the below configuration settings in the path: SPRO -> IMG -> GRC (Plug-in) -> Maintain Plug-In Configuration Settings.
- Connector Name maintained in Configuration Parameter 1000 in Plug-In system must be same as the connector name maintained in Configuration Parameter 1080 in GRC system.
- GRC Connector name must be maintained in Configuration Parameter 1001 in Plug-In system as shown below.
The Risk Terminator functionality can be applied to different business cases around user maintenance (creation and modification) and role maintenance (creation and modification). To simulate how risk analysis works for role maintenance and user role provisioning, I used below business scenarios. They are based on the configuration settings defined in the GRC system and the Plug-in system.
Risk Terminator Scenarios
Scenario 1: Testing role creation with conflicting Tcodes using PFCG.
Role Name: RT_TEST_ROLE
Tcodes: Conflicting Tcodes have been added as defined in our Rule set
Since the user exit before profile generation is also maintained, you can see from the below screenshot that "Risk Terminator" is triggered as the message shows "Checking for Access Risk Violations".
Risk Violations will be shown as below
Risk Terminator Triggers during role assignment using PFCG as well
Scenario 2: Testing SU01 conflicting role assignment to users.
Before you test scenario 2 make sure to implement the below SAP note in your Plug-In system if your Basis Release is 701 as Risk Terminator is not working for SU01 and SU10.
Followed few SCN links in preparing this blog post.

text: To improve the surface wetting properties of rice straw, effects of distilled water and four alkali pretreatment on the straw surface wettability were analyzed. The straw surface contact angle at different time points was measured by JC2000A contact angle measuring apparatus, optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with a linear regression technique for parameter extraction. The results show that the surface wettability of rice straw obtained significant improvement after alkali treatment and the contact angle decreases until it reaches equilibrium (force balance, heat balance and chemical equilibrium) over time. The contact angle has the maximum rate of change at the mass fraction of l% in 10min by NaNH2 pretreatment of the rice straw with the contact angle decrease gradient of 20.64%. The contact angle has the smallest decrease gradient of 3.6% by CaH2 pretreatment of the rice straw under the same conditions, however, a large number of CaCO3 formation lead to the contact angle which does not change significantly over time. When smooth wax inside and outside the straw surface is removed, there has been similar to the "etched" phenomenon with wettability improved obviously by SEM image analysis. The optimum conditions of processing technology were obtained through orthogonal test: concentration of NaOH is 0.6%, solvent ratio 1:3.5 and reaction time 12h.

NEOPERL® flow regulator: excellent eco-balance
When you install a flow regulator in your shower head, you save water and energy. However, how much water and energy is consumed and how much CO2 emitted to produce the flow regulator in the first place? What is the relation between expenditures and savings?
An eco-balance study by the Technische Universität Berlin was conducted to answer these questions. The results could not be clearer. With the flow regulator in use for ten years, the resources consumed during its production process are recouped after a few days' use.
To see more detailed results, please go to our flow regulator section.

Mayflies: Moqui minnow mayfly (Baetis moqui)
Profile prepared by Celeste Mazzacano, The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation
Baetis moqui is a small minnow mayfly endemic to Utah. This species inhabits fast-flowing rocky substrates in cold, clear, high-gradient streams. B. moqui was described as a new species from larvae collected in south-central Utah in 2004, and has been collected from North Creek and Pine Creek in Garfield County in the Escalante Canyon region. Its limited range and requirement for clear fast streams with low sediment loads may affect long-term stability of this species. Global climate change could also threaten this species' habitat in the long-term. Research should focus on understanding the biology of this species and establishing the distribution and population size.
Canada – Species at Risk Act: N/A
Canada – provincial status: N/A
USA – Endangered Species Act: N/A
USA – state status: Utah SNR Not ranked
NatureServe: G1G3 Imperiled
IUCN Red List: N/A
Baetis moqui currently receives no federal protection. The Utah Sensitive Species List does not include insects.
Baetis moqui is in the family Baetidae (small minnow mayflies). The larvae are 5.8 – 7.0 mm (0.23 –0.28 in.) in length, with three caudal filaments at the tip of the abdomen. The body is brown, with well-developed wingpads and light and dark patterning on the thorax and abdomen. The antennae are long, extending to at least the first abdominal segment, and are paler at the base and tip compared to the mid-section. B. moqui can be distinguished from other North American Baetis species based characteristics of the abdominal gills, as gill 1 is extremely reduced or lacking, and the structure of the labial palpi of the mouthparts. Adults of this species have not been described.
Baetis moqui Wiersema, Nelson and Kuehnl 2005. The taxonomic status of this species is considered valid. The species epithet is taken from an early name for the indigenous Hopi people.
This species is only known from larvae, which have been collected from cold clear streams draining high elevation (3000 m/9842 feet) peaks dominated by spring snowmelt and summer monsoon rains. Larvae can be found on leaf packs and submerged vegetation at the stream edges, but are more common on fast flowing rocky substrates with a coarse sandy matrix. Larval feeding was not observed, but members of this genus are considered to be collector-gatherers and scrapers, feeding on diatoms and organic detritus.
Larvae are known only from North Creek and Pine Creek in Garfield county, south-central Utah. Their current range is considered to encompass less than 40 square miles (100 sq. km). Larvae were collected from the type locality in North Creek above North Creek Reservoir. Additional larvae were collected from Pine Creek at the Box Death Hollow trailhead. Larvae were commonly collected from elevations of 2100 – 2500 m (6890 –8202 feet) in North and Pine Creeks, but were not found above 2500 m (8202 ft.). Additional sampling at several adjacent streams did not reveal B. moqui, and no larvae were collected at the confluence of Pine Creek or North Creek with the Escalante River.
Baetis moqui is a rare endemic species with narrow habitat requirements that is known from only two streams in south-central Utah. Due to its restricted habitat, limited populations, and unknown dispersal ability, B. moqui should be considered at risk. Baetis moqui larvae appear to have a specific requirement for cold fast flowing waters with extremely low sediment loads. North and Pine Creeks are somewhat unique in that they have lower sedimentation loads than are expected for the region; adjacent nearby streams with overall higher sedimentation loads and turbidity were not shown to support any populations of this species. Both localities are within a few miles of Escalante, which is a very small town but close to to Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, and Canyonlands National Parks, and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Heavy recreational use and road traffic in the watershed may threaten this species, particularly given its apparent intolerance for sediment and turbidity. Populations may have limited dispersal due to restricted areas of appropriate habitat, as larvae were not found in streams that were adjacent but higher in sediment load. Such small isolated populations are also vulnerable to stochastic events, and normal population fluctuations due to disease, predation, and food supply. True population sizes are unknown as this is a newly described species and needs more survey work.
Global climate change could also pose a long-term threat to B. moqui. Assessment of climate change trends in North America has already revealed changes in precipitation patterns, stream hydrology, and plant bloom time. Overall, annual mean air temperature increased in North America from _PHONE_, and total annual flow has decreased in many streams in the central Rocky Mountain region throughout the past century at an average rate of 0.2% per year (Rood et al. 2005). The effects of global climate change are projected to include warming in the western mountains, causing snowpack and ice to melt earlier in the season (Field et al. 2007). This could lead to increased flooding early in the spring and drier summer conditions, particularly in arid western areas where snowmelt sustains stream flows. Spring and summer snow cover has already been documented as decreasing in the western United States, and drought has become more frequent and intense (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007). Floods and droughts are projected to increase in frequency and intensity; erosion is also projected to increase due to decreased soil stability from higher temperatures and reduced soil moisture, and increases in winds and high intensity storms. As a species that requires cold clear streams, the survival of B. moqui could be threatened by habitat impairment due to global warming, including increased frequency and severity of seasonal flooding and droughts, reduced snowpack to sustain stream flow, increased erosion and siltation, and increasing air and water temperatures.
Necessary actions include monitoring known populations and searching for new ones, and protecting habitat in regions where the species is known to occur.
Little is known about the biology or distribution of this species. Additional surveys should be conducted to establish the range and distribution of this species and assess its dispersal capacity. Research into life history and habitat management in the area would be valuable.

CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION creates a new text search configuration. A text search configuration specifies a text search parser that can divide a string into tokens, plus dictionaries that can be used to determine which tokens are of interest for searching.
If only the parser is specified, then the new text search configuration initially has no mappings from token types to dictionaries, and therefore will ignore all words. Subsequent ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION commands must be used to create mappings to make the configuration useful. Alternatively, an existing text search configuration can be copied.
If a schema name is given then the text search configuration is created in the specified schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema.
The user who defines a text search configuration becomes its owner.
Refer to Chapter 12 for further information.
The name of the text search configuration to be created. The name can be schema-qualified.
The name of the text search parser to use for this configuration.
The name of an existing text search configuration to copy.
The PARSER and COPY options are mutually exclusive, because when an existing configuration is copied, its parser selection is copied too.

Screening Could Help Prevent Fractures in Long-Term Care Residents
A new study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine demonstrates that screening strategies vary widely — from 17 to 98 percent — in identifying women residing in nursing homes who are eligible for treatment of osteoporosis. Led by Susan Greenspan, M.D., professor of medicine at Pitt, the study sought to identify nursing home patients who would benefit from pharmacologic treatment of osteoporosis, which could decrease their risk for bone fractures. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become weak and break easily. "Osteoporosis in the frail elderly can have devastating consequences, but we have yet to perfect a system for identifying those patients who would benefit most from the treatment," Dr. Greenspan said.

DOWN - Fired when button is pressed.
 - B_UP - Fired when button is released.
Switch
Switches
Switches sync their state on all connected devices. This means when you change their value (either by pressing them, or programmatically using ESPUI.updateSwitcher()) they change visibly on all tablets or computers that currently display the interface.
Events:
 - S_ACTIVE - Fired when turning on.
 - S_INACTIVE - Fired when turning off.
Buttonpad
control pads
Button pads come in two flavours: with or without a center button. They are useful for controlling movements of vehicles/cameras etc. They use a single callback per pad and have 8 or 10 different event types to differentiate the button actions.
 - P_LEFT_DOWN
 - P_LEFT_UP
 - P_RIGHT_DOWN
 - P_RIGHT_UP
 - P_FOR_DOWN
 - P_FOR_UP
 - P_BACK_DOWN
 - P_BACK_UP
 - P_CENTER_DOWN
 - P_CENTER_UP
Labels
labels
Labels are used to display textual information (i.e. states, values of sensors, configuration parameters etc.). To send data from the code use ESP.updateLabel() . Labels get a name on creation and a initial value.
Labels automatically wrap your text. If you want them to have multiple lines use the normal
 tag in the string you print to the label.
In fact, because HTML can be used in the label's value, you can make a label display images by including an  tag.
 ESPUI.label("An Image Label", ControlColor::Peterriver, "");
This requires that the client has access to the image in question, either from the internet or a local web server.
Slider
slider
Sliders can be used to select (or display) a numerical value. Sliders provide realtime data and are touch compatible. Note that like all ESPUI functions, the callback does not return an int but a String so should be converted with the .toInt() function. See the examples for more details. Sliders can be updated from code using ESP.updateSlider().
A slider usually only sends a new value when it is released to save network bandwidth. This behaviour can be changed globally by setting sliderContinuous before begin():
ESPUI.sliderContinuous = true;
ESPUI.begin("ESPUI Control");
Events:
 - SL_VALUE - Fired when a slider value changes.
Number Input
number
The number input can be used to receive numbers from the user. You can enter a value into it and when you are done with your change it is sent to the ESP. A number box needs to have a min and a max value. To set it up just use:
ESPUI.number("Numbertest", &numberCall, ControlColor::Alizarin, 5, 0, 10);
Number inputs can be updated from code using ESP.updateNumber().
Note that HTML number boxes will respect their min and max when the user clicks the up and down arrows, but it is possible on most clients to simply type any number in. As with all user input, numbers should be validated in callback code because all client side checks can be skipped. If any value from the UI might cause a problem, validate it.
Events:
 - N_VALUE - Fired when a number value changes.
Text Input
text
The text input works very similar like the number input but allows any string to be entered. If you attach a Max control to the text input then a max length will be applied to the control.
text = ESPUI.text("Label", callback, ControlColor::Dark, "Initial value");
ESPUI.addControl(ControlType::Max, "", "32", ControlColor::None, text);
Text inputs can be updated from code using ESP.updateText().
However even with a set maximum length, user input should still be validated because it is easy to bypass client-side checks. Never trust user input.
Events:
 - T_VALUE - Fired when a text value changes.
Date, Time, Colour and Password Input
text
As an extension to the text input control, you can also specify the type attribute to be used for the HTML input element. This allows you to easily create input controls for Date, Time, Colour and Passwords, or indeed any other HTML Input Types supported by your browser.
text_date = ESPUI.text("Date", callback, ControlColor::Dark, "2022-05-24");
ESPUI.setInputType(text_date, "date");
text_time = ESPUI.text("Time", callback, ControlColor::Dark, "13:00");
ESPUI.setInputType(text_time, "time");
text_colour = ESPUI.text("Colour", callback, ControlColor::Dark, "#FF0000");
ESPUI.setInputType(text_colour, "color");
text_password = ESPUI.text("Password", callback, ControlColor::Dark, "tiddles123");
ESPUI.setInputType(text_password, "password");
Important! This function should be called before ESPUI.begin or results will be unreliable.
Note that not all browsers support all input types, and that the control displayed to edit the input is browser dependent.
However even with a type set, user input should still be validated because it is easy to bypass client-side checks. Never trust user input.
Select control
option1 option2
The Select control lets the user select from a predefined list of options. First create a select widget like so
uint16_t select1 = ESPUI.addControl( ControlType::Select, "Select Title", "Initial Value", ControlColor::Alizarin, tab1, &selectExample );
Then add Options to it, specifying the Select as the parent:
ESPUI.addControl( ControlType::Option, "Option1", "Opt1", ControlColor::Alizarin, select1);
ESPUI.addControl( ControlType::Option, "Option2", "Opt2", ControlColor::Alizarin, select1);
ESPUI.addControl( ControlType::Option, "Option3", "Opt3", ControlColor::Alizarin, select1);
Check the tabbedGui example for a working demo. Selectors can be updated from code using ESP.updateSelect().
Events:
 - S_VALUE - Fired when a select value changes.
Getting the Time
ESPUI can create an invisible control that can be used to fetch the current time from the client when they are connected to the UI. This could be used to intermittently provide an accurate time source to your ESP. Remember that clients cannot be relied upon to be correct or truthful.
Create a Time control with the following:
//Add the invisible "Time" control
auto timeId = ESPUI.addControl(Time, "", "", None, 0, timeCallback);
After creating the UI, sending an update to the Time control will cause it to fetch the current time from the client and then fire its callback with the result.
//Request an update to the time
ESPUI.updateTime(timeId);
//Will trigger timeCallback
In timeCallback you can then print the control's value as normal:
void timeCallback(Control *sender, int type) {
 if(type == TM_VALUE) {
 Serial.println(sender->value);
 }
}
The returned string will be an ISO string as returned by the Javascript new Date().toISOString(). The format is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ so for example: 2022-01-20T21:44:22.913Z.
Events:
 - TM_VALUE - Fires when the control is updated with updateTime()
Separators
separators
You can use separators to break up the UI and better organise your controls. Adding a separator will force any following controls onto the subsequent line. Add separators as follows:
ESPUI.separator("Separator name");
//or
ESPUI.addControl(ControlType::Separator, "Separator name", "", ControlColor::None, maintab);
Separators fire no events.
Initialisation of the UI
After all the elements are configured, call ESPUI.begin("Some Title"); to start the UI interface. (Or ESPUI.beginLITTLEFS("Some Title"); respectively) Make sure you setup a working network connection or AccessPoint before (see the gui.ino example). The web interface can then be used from multiple devices at once and also shows connection status in the top

On May 13, 2012, the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives will present the Second ALBA/Puffin Award for Human Rights Activism, in the amount of $100,000, to Fredy Peccerelli, Executive Director of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Foundation, and Kate Doyle, Senior Analyst of U.S. policy in Latin America at the National Security Archive. The award ceremony will take place at the Museum of the City of New York.
"Both Doyle and Peccerelli are indefatigable defenders of human rights who have played a seminal role in the fight against impunity in Latin America," said Sebastiaan Faber, Chair of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA).
A determined and creative researcher-activist, Doyle has spent twenty years working tirelessly with Latin American human rights organizations and truth commissions – in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Peruto obtain the declassification of U.S. government archives in support of their investigations.
Peccerelli is an innovative forensic anthropologist whose work has been instrumental to the first-ever conviction of Guatemalan military forces for crimes against humanity. As founding director of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Foundation (FAFG), Peccerelli leads a team that, over the past fifteen years, has exhumed hundreds of mass graves filled with victims of Guatemala's civil war.
The ALBA/Puffin Award for Human Rights Activism, one of the largest human rights awards in the world, is granted annually by ALBA and the Puffin Foundation.
"The award is designed," said Puffin Foundation President Perry Rosenstein, "to give public recognition, support, and encouragement to individuals or groups whose work has an exceptionally positive impact on the advancement and/or defense of human rights. It is intended to help educate students and the general public about the importance of defending human rights against arbitrary powers that violate democratic principles."
The ALBA/Puffin Award is part of a program connecting the inspiring legacy of the International Brigades – the 40,000 volunteers who helped fight fascism during the Spanish Civil War – to international activist causes of today. Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzón received the first ALBA/Puffin Award in May 2011.

Ten Qualities of A Successful Individual
Ten Qualities of A Successful Individual
Photo of Shem-shem Pablo
By Soni
Success is the output of an individual's effort, hard work, dedication, sincerity, and experience put in for years together to achieve the desired goals.
Success is not easily attained; it is to be acquired by putting in the efforts of the years.
A success mantra: "Jack of all trades, master of SOME." will possibly sum it up.
To be a successful person you have to be a jack of all trades and a master of some. An individual with who is multi-talented has the quality to recognize the opportunity and grab it at that moment.
Below are some of the qualities, in my opinion of what successful people have:
1. He must have some education required at a level within his desired field. He must have a great passion towards reading and ability to have an open mind.
2. He must have some confidence to face the situation: Even and Odd.
3. He must have a personality that mesmerizes anyone at any time.
4. He must have professionalism to a level where one must have thorough knowledge of the field where he is working.
5. He must have integrity towards work and work culture.
6. She must have knowledge of language which also plays an important role in success; Linguistic people have less interaction barriers.
7. She must be able to adapt to change easily.
8. She must be technologically savvy or at the very least inclined towards Information Technology and the use of social media as success tools.
9. She must be a positive person with an optimistic approach.
10. She should be an adorable person and a simple human being.

Links and gordian numbers associated with generic immersions of intervals
William Gibson, Masaharu Ishikawa
研究成果: Article査読
10 被引用数 (Scopus)
抄録
A divide is the image of a generic, relative immersion of intervals in the unit disk. In the present paper we remove the relative condition by introducing a generalized class of divide called free divides . We describe how to define the link of a free divide in a well-defined way and, further, show that its unknotting (gordian) number is still equal to the number of double points of the immersed intervals. This extends the result of A'Campo concerning unknotting numbers of just relative divides. We conclude the paper with a table of free divides and their links which, by virtue of the main result, are tabulated according to their unknotting numbers.

Full text not available from this repository.
In order to investigate genetic variability and differentiation of roe deer Capreolus capreolus (Linnaeus, 1758) in Italy, four populations were examined for polymorphism at thirty-two gene loci by means of vertical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Mean values of polymorphism (mean P = 15.6%, SD 4.4%) and expected average heterozygosity (mean He = 4.7%, SD 1.9%) were comparable to those reported previously for roe deer populations of Central Europe. Moreover, the results confirmed that roe deer is one of the genetically most variable deer species yet studied. Nei's standard genetic distances (mean D = 0.008, SD 0.004) were consistent with the values generally obtained at the level of local populations in deer species. Estimates of relative genetic differentiation showed that 11.5% of the total diversity can be assigned to genetic divergence among populations. Differences in levels of genetic variation among the Italian populations studied are discussed with respect to their respective demographic origin and historical background. The implications of our data for the management of roe deer in Italy are outlined.

Garnish, an embellishment added to a food to enhance its appearance or taste. Simple garnishes such as chopped herbs, decoratively cut lemons, parsley and watercress sprigs, browned breadcrumbs, sieved hardcooked eggs, and broiled tomatoes are appropriate to a wide variety of foods; their purpose is to provide contrast in colour, texture, and taste, and to give a finished appearance to the dish.
In the classic cuisine of France, garnishes comprised any accompaniment to a principal dish—vegetables and starch dishes fell under this definition. Further, basic dishes could be varied by the selection of one of a codified array of garnishes. Under this system a chicken, for example, could be served à la archiduc, with a sauce of paprika and cream; à la forestière, with morels and potatoes, à la bouquetière, with an array of individually cooked, decoratively cut vegetables, and so on into hundreds of formulations.

Connected Substitutes and Invertibility of Demand
We consider the invertibility of a nonparametric nonseparable demand system. Invertibility of demand is important in several contexts, including identification of demand, estimation of demand, testing of revealed preference, and economic theory requiring uniqueness of market clearing prices. We introduce the notion of "connected substitutes" and show that this structure is sufficient for invertibility. The connected substitutes conditions require weak substitution between all goods and sufficient strict substitution to necessitate treating them in a single demand system. These conditions are satisfied in many standard models, have transparent economic interpretation, and allow us to show invertibility without functional form restrictions, smoothness assumptions, or strong domain restrictions.

Create Deep Links to App Content
When a clicked link or programmatic request invokes a web URI intent, the Android system tries each of the following actions, in sequential order, until the request succeeds:
 1. Open the user's preferred app that can handle the URI, if one is designated.
 2. Open the only available app that can handle the URI.
 3. Allow the user to select an app from a dialog.
Follow the steps below to create and test links to your content. You can also use the App Links Assistant in Android Studio to add Android App Links.
Add intent filters for incoming links
To create a link to your app content, add an intent filter that contains these elements and attribute values in your manifest:
Add one or more tags, each of which represents a URI format that resolves to the activity. At minimum, the tag must include the android:scheme attribute.
You can add more attributes to further refine the type of URI that the activity accepts. For example, you might have multiple activities that accept similar URIs, but which differ simply based on the path name. In this case, use the android:path attribute or its pathPattern or pathPrefix variants to differentiate which activity the system should open for different URI paths.
Include the BROWSABLE category. It is required in order for the intent filter to be accessible from a web browser. Without it, clicking a link in a browser cannot resolve to your app.
Also include the DEFAULT category. This allows your app to respond to implicit intents. Without this, the activity can be started only if the intent specifies your app component name.
 android:label="_USER_/title_gizmos" >

Notice that the two intent filters only differ by the element. Although it's possible to include multiple elements in the same filter, it's important that you create separate filters when your intention is to declare unique URLs (such as a specific combination of scheme and host), because multiple elements in the same intent filter are actually merged together to account for all variations of their combined attributes. For example, consider the following:

It might seem as though this supports only and app:// However, it actually supports those two, plus these: app:// and
Read data from incoming intents
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
 val action: String? = intent?.action
 val data: Uri? = intent?.data
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 Intent intent = getIntent();
 String action = intent.getAction();
 Uri data = intent.getData();
Follow these best practices to improve the user's experience:
Test your deep links
$ adb shell am start
 -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW
 -d
$ adb shell am start
 -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW
 -d "example://gizmos"
The manifest declaration and intent handler you set above define the connection between your app and a website and what to do with incoming links. However, in order to have the system treat your app as the default handler for a set of URIs, you must also request that the system verify this connection. The next lesson explains how to implement this verification.

Understanding and Mastering the Cockpit Drill
Table of Contents
Manual-Driving-Instructor-In-Coventry
The cockpit drill is one of the most important concepts that the driver of any vehicle, whether an LTV or HTV, has to know and practice. This might be one of the first things that you learn in a driving school. However, now we are going to discuss this in great so that you are already familiar with the concept even before joining a driving school.
This drill has to be performed every time you sit in the driving seat of your car. Initially, it might take more effort, but as you become accustomed to it, this process will take no more than just a few seconds, with you performing it at a subconscious level. The cockpit drill is also referred to as DSSSM in driving, standing for doors, seat, seatbelt, steering wheel, and mirrors. Let's discuss every element of this drill individually.
Doors
The first thing that you have to do when you sit inside your car, or any other car for that matter, is to check if the doors have been securely closed. There are a few methods of knowing this.
 1. You can go for the haptics method, where you give your door a firm tug. If the door does not move, then rest assured the door has locked itself safely in position.
 2. If you have other passengers travelling with you, you can ask them to check their doors themselves.
 3. Otherwise, you can check all the doors of the car using the visual method, where you observe all the doors using the side mirrors of the car and see if they are in line with the rest of the car. If they are so, then there will be no cause for alarm.
 4. Alternatively, if it is safe for you to exit the vehicle, you might even check each door in person by getting out.
Modern cars have the feature that if any of the doors, bonnet, or boot are open, a signal lights up in the instrument panel of the car. Cars that do not come with this light signal do make beeping sounds when one of the doors is open.
Seat
You, as the driver of your car, have to be seated in such a manner that you are not uncomfortable. Otherwise, long driving times may cause back fatigue, quite often resulting in injury. A comfortable seating position means that you can turn the steering wheel and reach all the driving pedals without having to stretch yourself.
Now that we have discussed the significance of a good seating position, we now discuss how to achieve it.
 1. One thing to keep in mind is that your face or legs are not very close to the steering wheel, as that could prove to be a hazard.
 2. You should position your hip in a way that with the clutch fully depressed, there is a slight bend on your knee.
 3. Your back should be positioned so that, when holding the steering wheel, there is a slight bend on your elbow.
 4. If your car has an adjustable head restraint, adjust it at a level where its vertical centre is at the same level as the top of your ears, and the restraint is at an inch's distance from the back of your head when driving.
Driving Instructors in Coventry
Seatbelt
Once you are assured that all the doors, bonnet, and boot are properly shut and are seated perfectly, then you fasten your seatbelt. You put on your seatbelt in a way that:
 1. It isn't too loose nor too tight so as to cause discomfort.
 2. There shouldn't be any twist in the seatbelt, either.
 3. If your car comes with a seatbelt height adjustment, then you should adjust its height to about 2-3 centimetres above your right shoulder.
According to the traffic law, you are required to have your seatbelt on at all times, except for the situation when you are driving in reverse since a seatbelt hinders the best possible view of the rear of the car.
The possession of a medical exemption certificate can also waive your liability to fasten a seatbelt. Furthermore, in the case that you have passengers present with you in the vehicle who are under the age of 14, it will be your responsibility to make sure that they are all wearing a seatbelt.
Steering Wheel
Almost every modern car sports a steering wheel, which comes with a level adjustment. Adjusting your wheel to an angle and height that aligns with your comfort level allows for better driving experiences.
However, here are some things that should be remembered:
 1. You will be driving with both of your hands, with your left hand on the 10 o'clock of the wheel and your right hand on the 2 o'clock.
 2. Your hands have to be at a height level that is just a little below the shoulders.
 3. The steering wheel or your hands should not block your view of the instrument panel.
Mirrors
The mirrors play a significant role in a driving situation. These are there to provide the driver with a 360-degree view of his vehicle so that if the situation ever arises, he can apply emergency breaks or make a correcting manoeuvre to get out of any potential driving incident.
Mostly, cars tend to have three mirrors, two placed on either side of the vehicle and one inside facing the rear window. When adjusting any of the mirrors, the driver should be in his usual driving position. Otherwise, the view can change drastically with a change in position.
 1. For the rear-view mirror, it should be adjusted, using the left hand, at an angle that provides the best view of the rear window.
 2. As for the side mirrors, they should show just a small part of the side of the car, and the intersection of the road and the sky should be kept at the vertical centre of the mirror.
Handbrake
Although this is not part of the DSSSM acronym, the handbrake should also be monitored whenever the driver is seated in the car. Locking the handbrake in place ensures that there will be no unintentional or unexpected movement of the car.
It's a Wrap!
DSSSM in driving is a safety protocol that every driver should follow every time he sits in his car. Initially, the driving cockpit drill might feel like tedious work. However, as the driver familiarises himself with every element of it, he starts performing it automatically without much conscious effort.
Are you looking to join a driving school? Guidelines Driving School is an option worth considering. Our driving instructors and advisors have great experience in the field and would impart the best knowledge.

Using directional antennas to conserve bandwidth and energy consumption in ad hoc wireless networks has attracted much attention of the research community in recent years. However, limited research has focused on applying directional antennas to broadcasting. We devise a link reduction (LR) based broadcasting protocol for ad hoc wireless networks using directional antennas. LR outperforms most existing omnidirectional and directional broadcasting schemes in the sense that its normalized transmission cost and redundancy are significantly reduced, and consequently it is more bandwidth and energyefficient. Based on 2-hop neighborhood information, LR relies on no location or angle-of-arrival (AOA) information. LR is a localized protocol and it achieves full delivery in ideal networks. Simulation is conducted in ideal networks where packet collision, channel contention, or node mobility is avoided.

Transfer to the Collinear Libration Point L3 in the Sun-Earth+Moon SystemThe collinear libration point L3 of the sun-earth+moon system is an ideal place for some space missions. Although there has been a great amount of work concerning the applications of the other two collinear libration points L1 and L2, little work has been done about the point L3. In this paper, the dynamics of the libration points was briefly introduced first. Then a way to transfer the spacecraft to the collinear libration point L3 via the invariant manifolds of the other two collinear libration points was proposed. Theoretical works under the model of circular restricted three-body problem were done. For the sun-earth+moon system, this model is a good approximation. The results obtained are useful when a transfer trajectory under the real solar system is designed.

Adobe Flash animation, which starts with one large rectangle, which is divided
into four slightly smaller, which, in turn, are divided again, and so on.
The idea behind this animation is based on so-called quad trees used in computer graphics.
A virtual object consists of polygons: small flat surfaces. If the number of polygons is large enough, you will perceive the object as being a realistic representation of a real object.
To calculate whether a polygon casts a shadow, you need to calculate whether there is another polygon between the polygon and the virtual light source.
One way to do this is to check all polygons in the virtual space. Depending on the number of polygons, this will result in a huge number of calculations.
To reduce the amount of calculations the virtual space is devided into cubes. If a cube is empty, the subdivision ends, if a cube has virtual objects in it, the cube is devided again etc. etc..
Instead of calculating all polygons, first the enclosing cube is submitted to a calculation, if there's no intersection, there will not be intersection with one of the polygons inside that specific cube. This method allows to reduce the number of redundant calculations considerably.
In this case, the cubes are replaced by rectangles.
The rectangle is only divided if the colours inside the square differ from each other.
After some time, a pixel-art illustration will emerge.

What is the pressure needed to contain a 1 molar electron gas at room temperature?
I'm not sure how to work out the thermodynamics, but I can do the calculation at low temperatures (i.e. where the system will be found very close to its ground state).
For ease of calculation, we will take the container to be spherical. Say the container has volume \(V\) and there are \(N\) electrons inside.
From basic electrostatics we know that the ground state of this system will have all the electrons at the surface. A straightforward calculation gives the surface area of the container as \(A = 4\pi\left(\frac{3V}{4\pi}\right)^{2/3}\). So we get a surface charge density of \[\sigma = Ne/A = \frac{Ne}{4\pi} \left(\frac{3V}{4\pi}\right)^{-2/3}.\]
A surface with net charge density feels an electrostatic pressure of \(\frac{\epsilon_0}{2}E^2\) where \(E\) is the magnitude of the electric field just outside the surface. By Gauss's law and the vanishing of the electric field in the container's interior this is \[P = \frac{\epsilon_0}{2}E^2 = \frac{\epsilon_0}{2}(\sigma/\epsilon_0)^2 = \frac{\sigma^2}{2\epsilon_0}\]
Putting it all together \[P = \frac{N^2 e^2}{32\pi^2\epsilon_0} \left(\frac{3V}{4\pi}\right)^{-4/3}\] Putting \(N = 6.022 \times 10^{23}\) and \(V\) = 1 dm3 we obtain the result
\(P \sim 2.25 \times 10^{23}\) pascals
This is about 10 million times greater than the pressure at the core of the sun.
A curious feature is that the pressure is not related to the particle density \(N/V\) in any straightforward way. This is because the electrostatic repulsion between electrons is a long-ranged force and the expressions for the virial coefficients diverge.
