AXE045 Color Sensor
The AXE045 Colour Sensor module is built around a TAOS TCS230 colour sensor. The TAOS TCS230 sensor chip is a 'programmable colour light-to-frequency
converter', supplied as a small 8 pin SOIC format chip.
In simple terms this means that it is a sensor that can measure the reflected light intensity from an illuminated sample, by use of an 8 by 8 array of photodiodes. Of these 64 photodiodes, 16 are covered by blue filters, 16 have red filters, 16 have green filters and 16 have no filter.
The red, green and blue (RGB) filters embedded in the TAOS sensor ensure only these colors are exposed to the underlying photodiodes. Therefore, by using a PICAXE microcontroller, the user can programmatically select which colored filtered photodiodes to use at a particular time, and, by cycling through the 4 different options, come to a very good approximation of the RGB content of the sample – hence identifying its color!

Why the World Needs a More Healthy Gourmet Food Guide
Gourmet food is becoming increasingly popular.
With its variety and variety of ingredients, from fresh fruit and vegetables to seafood and meat, it's become a staple in most of the world's countries.
But what is it about a meal that can make it so special?
The answer is food and its combination of ingredients.
We all know how delicious a steak tastes when it's done properly, but it's not just a matter of taste alone.
The cooking process also plays a big role in the overall taste of a meal.
Food is the key to flavor, but not all foods have the same taste.
To find out what foods taste best together, we decided to go grocery shopping for some delicious options.
What makes a good burger?
The burger we ate was made from a local beef, which means it was sourced from a family-owned business, which is important for us to know because many burgers come from other family farms.
The quality of the meat is also important because it makes a difference in how a burger tastes.
Our burgers were served with a salad that was made by the local farmers market.
At the same time, the meat was grilled, and it also had a salad.
The quality of each item mattered too.
What we ended up with was a delicious burger, that was rich and flavorful, and was good enough to share with our friends and family.
So, how does a good gourmet meal compare to one that is served at a restaurant?
The best gourmet burgers are made with locally sourced ingredients, which are typically sourced from local producers.
They are also made using a range of techniques and techniques to make them as high quality as possible.
We also tested a selection of other gourmet foods.
The results showed that a good vegetarian gourmet burger is good enough for the table, but a good meat gourmet lunch is good for the home.
What are some tips for making a good meal at home?
Use the best ingredients you can.
A good burger can be made from anything, including fresh fruit, vegetables, and seafood.
But make sure you choose your favorite items from the ingredients list.
Also, choose the right ingredients and seasonings, like pepper, herbs, spices, and seasoning for each ingredient.
For example, a good hamburger patty should be marinated in fresh tomato sauce, and grilled.
But a good steak sandwich should be grilled, with the patty cut into slices, then seasoned with herbs and spices.
It's important to use the right toppings and spices, like cumin, chili powder, salt, and garlic powder, for a perfect burger.

The City uses debt to help finance large capital projects. This provides the City with more affordable financing by matching the repayment term to the economic useful life of the project, instead of funding the entire cost from current revenues.
The City's capital projects are funded by a variety of sources including the issuance of debt.
Debt provides the City with affordable financing and matches the repayment term to the economic useful life of the project. Without debt financing, the City may be hindered from taking on large capital projects. Also, present taxpayers would be funding projects that provide long-term benefit to future residents.
An Ontario municipality may issue long-term debt only for capital purposes and cannot borrow for operations. The only exception is issuing promissory notes that must be repaid with the current year's tax levy. Repayment of municipal debt is amortized over the term of the debenture with regular contributions being made to the sinking fund. The city auditor certifies the sinking fund balance annually. If the balance certified is less than the amount required in the year for the repayment of the sinking fund, the City will pay an amount sufficient to make up the deficiency into the sinking fund.
The City of Toronto is a respected participant in the global capital markets. Adherence to the Financing of Capital Works Policy and Goals maintains the City's reputation and affords continued efficient and cost-effective access to capital markets.
The City's debt issuance guidelines and policies are outlined in the following documents:
City of Toronto Long-Term Debt ($ 000s)
|Debentures Issued By the City (Total Outstanding)||5,617,385||5,234,971||4,896,579|

|Sinking fund deposits – TDSB||(64,872)||(58,831)||(53,435)|
City of Toronto's net long-term debts are to be recovered from the following sources: ($ 000s)
|Property taxes and user charges||3,759,909||3,459,542||3,154,240|
|Toronto Community Housing Corp (TCHC)||921,106||681,034||639,526|
|Lakeshore Arena – Infrastructure Ontario||956||991||1,052|

|Total Net Long Term Debt||4,712,547||4,178,512||3,856,165|
The City issues debt issues to support funding for capital projects with a priority on state-of-good-repair of key infrastructure
The debt requirement for the City's 10-Year Capital Plan is estimated to be about $6.6 billion. In 2017, the City plans to borrow about $900 million to fund capital expenditures.
Toronto's Debenture Maturity Schedule
The City of Toronto's credit ratings (as of March 10, 2017) are:
AA with a stable outlook from the Dominion Bond Rating Service
"The ratings are supported by Toronto's large and dynamic economy, considerable base of liquidity and moderate debt burden."
DBRS, December 9, 2016
AA with a stable outlook from Standard and Poor's Canada
"The ratings reflect our view of Toronto's very strong economy which, along with strong financial management, has helped the city to continue to attract residents and investment…The ratings also reflect our positive view the very predictable and well-balanced institutional framework for Canadian municipalities."
Standard & Poor's, October 27, 2016
Aa1 with a stable outlook from Moody's Investor Service
"The City of Toronto's Aa1 rating benefits from a low debt burden (46% of operating revenue in 2013), a healthy liquidity profile evidenced by a net cash position, a large and diversified economic base as well as a track record of consolidated surpluses since 2008… The rating also reflects the city's additional unique taxation powers, which allow it to access additional revenue sources besides property taxes and user charges for environmental services."

In order to educate and nurture prospects through the buyer's journey, your content needs to somehow get in front of them. Organic search can provide a great opportunity for you to reach audiences who are searching for information relevant to your company.
But, search listing results pages are getting more and more competitive, making it hard to be found online. It turns out there's an effective solution: a topic cluster strategy, which can be simplified by HubSpot's topic cluster tool.
What is a Topic Cluster?
A topic cluster is an organic search tactic in which multiple pieces of content around the same topic are linked and grouped together in order to help your website increase topical authority and rank for relevant keywords.
Topic clusters consist of a primary keyword known as the "core topic" and then various related more specific keywords referred to as "subtopics."
The core topic is represented on your website through a pillar page. A pillar page is a long-form piece of content that aggregates all the topics included in your topic cluster and links out to all of the supporting subtopic content. The inclusion of a pillar page is what differentiates a topic cluster strategy from just internal linking.
How to Use HubSpot's Topic Cluster Tool
HubSpot's topic cluster tool allows you to identify and analyze potential core topics by providing information like monthly search volume and difficulty. Once you decide to move forward with a core topic, the tool will help you visualize how your topic cluster is implemented on your website through a bubble map.
Your core topic and respective pillar page will be in the center of your bubble map — spanning from it are all of the related keywords you have (or plan to have) support content. The tool will help you:
- Monitor the search volume of all keywords included in your strategy
- See what queries are leading visitors to your pillar page and subtopic content
- Ensure all your topic cluster assets are linked together
However, when using HubSpot's topic cluster tool, it is important to keep in mind that it's just a tool. It's more of an organizational assistant than it is like a tactical implementor. Your strategy is what actually makes topic clusters beneficial for SEO.
So in addition to using the topic cluster tool to envision your efforts and report on their performance, you should also be employing tactics like editorial calendars, SEO copywriting and internal linking.
Your core topics should be central to your business and your service operations. For example, a core topic for us at New Breed is "What is Demand Generation?"
Additionally, the core topics you choose should be top of the funnel because you're targeting people who want to learn about that topic. You wouldn't want to use something like "demand generation services."
You also want to ensure that your core topic has enough search volume to justify the investment into creating a topic cluster around it. We recommend a minimum of 400 searches per month, but you also want to make sure the search volume isn't so high that you couldn't realistically rank for it.
Once you've selected your core topic, the next step is to explore related terms to use as subtopics. For "What is demand generation?", subtopics could include "demand generation best practices," "how to implement a demand generation strategy" and "demand generation tactics." These subtopics don't all need to include the core topic keyword either. "Full-funnel marketing and sales strategies" and "data-driven marketing" could also be subtopics.
HubSpot's topic cluster tool can help you refine your subtopic keywords once you have an initial idea of what you want to use. As you go to add a subtopic keyword to your cluster, it'll show you the search volume for that keyword and provide a list of related keywords you could use instead.
Your topic cluster should have a minimum of six subtopics to start but eight to 10 is the ideal range. If you find that you need many more subtopics than that to cover the core topic fully, it might be worth splitting it up. For example, "What is inbound marketing?" and "Inbound marketing best practices" could both be their own pillar pages with 10 or more subtopics.
Create and publish content
Prior to launching a topic cluster within the HubSpot tool, you should have the majority of the content already prepared.
Create an editorial calendar to guide the creation of your pillar page and subtopic blog posts. Research, write and optimize all the content, then publish it and link everything in the tool.
The HubSpot topic cluster tool will help you ensure you created content to address every planned subtopic and placed hyperlinks within the copy for all posts. Plus if you want to expand your topic cluster further, it can help you see what you haven't covered yet and if you have relevant existing content on your website that could be optimized and linked to the pillar page.
Report on content and SEO
The goal of a topic cluster strategy is to increase your ability to rank for the core topic. So, an increase in sessions will be one of the most important metrics for you to monitor.
Additionally, you'll want to keep an eye on session-to-contact conversion rate, but since this is a top-of-the-funnel strategy, organic sessions and new users will be more important KPIs initially. You shouldn't necessarily expect a lot of on-page conversions.
Another important metric to track is average time on page because it's a user experience metric that is a big indicator to search algorithms about the value your content is providing.
A topic cluster strategy helps you efficiently create topical authority for organic search. Content is still king; you need well-written valuable content to see success from this strategy. But once you have that, a topic cluster can help you harness its full potential and ensure it's locatable for search engines and readers.
HubSpot's topic cluster tool enables you to more easily manage and monitor your topic cluster strategy. It'll not just help you ensure your strategy is implemented correctly initially, it'll also help you monitor and expand your topic clusters over time so you can create content that provides the most value for your audience and your business.

Technology never ceases to amaze, and when it is used to aid people, it's even better. Well, some scientists recently published in the Journal of Breath Research that they've managed find a way to detect human survivors who are caught underneath rubble after a disaster using a sensor. The sensor works by analyzing the contents of the air that leaks from the rubble.
Because the air that we breathe out contains carbon dioxide, ammonia, acetone and isoprene, the detectors need to just detect those gasses in an area know that there's someone buried underneath. With this sensor, the scientists hope to develop an "electronic sniffer dog" that could be used to search disaster sites for any survivors.
But don't expect them to replace your regular rescue dogs – these robot sniffers will be complementing them instead of taking over. Dogs do their jobs well, but they can't work long hours and they risk the chance of getting injured while moving through the site, robots can do what they can't but on the other hand, robots don't have such problems but they do have problems with maneuverability, so this allows them to work hand in hand.Follow:Robotsrobotsmellsnifftechnology

The Pioneer Expedition was the search for the Robotech Masters's homeworld, The Third moon of Fantoma: Tirol. Originally slated to leave in early 2014, the destruction of the SDF-2 during the Malcontent Uprisings stalled the mission until late 2022. The mission was led by Emil Lang, Lisa Hayes, and Rick Hunter on board the SDF-3. (Robotech II: The Sentinels)
Upon arriving at the Valivarre system, the Robotech Expeditionary Force became embroiled for years in a war with the Invid Regent while the Masters had already departed for Earth, launching the Second Robotech War. (Robotech: The Masters).
The Admirals Hunter stayed in the region aboard the SDF-3 while the worked with the Sentinels to defeat the Invid. After the Regent's death and the REF Civil War, they launched their fleet to recover the Earth. (Robotech: Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles, Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles))

The structure of a finite group is investigated through a geometry induced by the splitting systems of the group. The method is based on the one used to induce a geometry on a finite dimensional vector space over a finite field and as a result, concepts related to the special and projective linear group are extended to arbitrary groups. One major by-product is the classification of solvable multiprimitive groups of arbitrary derived length. This leads to a necessary and sufficient condition for a solvable nC-group to be multiprimitive.

In the book Designers are Wankers, author Lee McCormack interviews graphic designer Neville Brody, founder of London-based Research Studios, about challenging convention.
Then I started to realize quite clearly that social rules, specifically graphic design rules, were irrelevant. They were created by different people for different societies at a different time to solve different problems. We were still being taught that this is the way we had to do it. It led me to thinking that anything was fair game, anything was challengeable.
Brody gives an example of how page numbers are used as the traditional scale to indicate progress through a book. However, it is only tradition as anything can be used that progresses – a color flowing to another color or a shape changing form. Before you follow the rules, ask yourself if they serve a purpose or are based solely on tradition. Brody concludes, "once you start thinking like that, you can tear everything apart."

the self variable in a closure. This is necessary for the WebSockets access to have access to the component's state.
Then, the App constructor registers handlers for the following messages: 'board', 'color', 'turn' and 'victory'. In each cases it updates the relevant parts of the state. Note, the handlers are registered in the constructor, but will be called later as the game progresses.
let self = this
this.state.socket.on('board', board => {
this.setState(...self.state, {board: board})
});
this.state.socket.on('color', color => {
this.setState(...self.state, {color: color})
});
this.state.socket.on('turn', player => {
if (player = this.state.color) {
this.setState(...self.state,
{message: "You're up. What's your move?",
yourTurn: true})
} else {
this.setState(...self.state,
{message: player + ' is thinking...',
yourTurn: false})
}
});
this.state.socket.on('victory', player => {
let newState = {yourTurn: false}
if (player = this.state.color) {
newState['message'] = 'You win!'
} else {
newState['message'] = 'You lose!'
}
this.setState(...self.state, newState)
});
}
Remember the onColumnClick function the board receives to invoke when a column is clicked? It's a one-liner that just sends a 'click' message to the server.
onColumnClick = column => this.state.socket.emit('click', column);
The render() function is pretty straight-forward. It renders the header, then the InfoBar and then the board passing the necessary props from the state.
render() {
return (

Connect Four

<InfoBar color={this.state.color}
message={this.state.message} />
<Board board={this.state.board}
onColumnClick={this.onColumnClick}
yourTurn={this.state.yourTurn}/>

)
}
Here is an illustration with some arrows of a victory:
WebSockets are a great technology for client-server applications where the server needs to send messages, events or notifications to the client without being prompted or polled constantly.
In this post, we went though a full-fledged example of a Node server and React clients that communicate over WebSockets and together implement the classic Connect4 game. As a bonus, we used SVG for rendering the board and pieces.
Now, it's your time to go out there and build awesome stuff with WebSockets.

Is there a way that I can use the same monitor with both my desktop and notebook computers, without constantly switching cables?KVM Switch
You need a KVM switch (KVM stands for keyboard, video, monitor). This lets you hook a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse up to multiple PCs and notebooks. The actual computers can run simultaneously, while the monitor displays only what's running on the selected computer; the mouse and keyboard control the selected system.
A button on the front of the KVM lets you toggle between systems. In your case, you wanted the monitor to extend the amount of data displayed on your notebook. That's no problem, as long as your notebook supports dual displays.D-Link DKVM-2
KVM switches are particularly useful in server rooms, where dozens of servers can be hooked into one KVM. For your purposes, though, a personal KVM switch is perfect. A good place to start is with a D-Link DKVM-2 ($49 direct), which can handle two PCs. (Similar switches are available from companies such as Avocent, Belkin, and Linksys.) The DKVM-2 comes with two PS/2 mouse ports and two PS/2 keyboard ports. As with most switches, the cables cost extra, so make sure you buy the shortest cables you can. Six-foot cables are about $15 each.
If you're using a notebook with only one PS/2 connector, you may want to use a docking station with two connectors. (D-Link Systems Inc., )

Botanical name: Ozothamnus leptophyllus
Family name: Asteraceae
tauhinuB2.jpg Overview
Tauhinu (formerly known as Cassinia leptophylla) is a perennial scrub weed species which is native to New Zealand. It looks similar to manuka, but is not as widespread, causing problems mainly in eastern districts of New Zealand only, from Wairoa down to Otago. As with most scrub weed species, tauhinu is generally a problem in hill country pastures, where it gradually becomes denser in paddocks if good grazing pressure and pasture competition cannot be maintained. Although the correct spelling for this weed is shown above, many farmers incorrectly call it tawhini (pronouncing it as tar-winny). As with manuka, tauhinu is also often grown in people's gardens as an ornamental.
Tauhinu flower heads Distinguishing features
Tauhinu has small leaves just like manuka. However, it has several differences to manuka. Manuka leaves tend to have a pointed tip, whereas the leaves of tauhinu are rounded. Also, the underneath of tauhinu leaves are whitish in colour, though often this is not readily evident as the leaves can curl so the underneath is difficult to see. Manuka has colourful pink flowers whereas tauhinu produces seed-heads with lots of fluffy pappus sticking out of them, as do many other Asteraceae weeds, allowing seeds to be blown in the wind. The shrubs grow to about 2 m in height.
tauhinuB3.jpg Control
Tauhinu has pliable stems, making it more difficult than some scrub species to flatten using machinery. It is also not particularly susceptible to herbicides, being resistant to glyphosate. However, it can be controlled by metsulfuron (eg Escort, Answer), triclopyr (eg Grazon) and triclopyr/picloram (eg Tordon Brushkiller).

I am working with Pseudomonas fragi and I could not help but notice that it smells sweet, which probably explains its species name 'fragi' from 'fragum', strawberry in Latin.
Does anybody know what causes this bacterium to smell sweet? It must be some volatile compound that they release in the air? Why would they do that? Do other bacteria release odorant molecules? If so, why?

Jet Fuel Mixture Activity
In this activity you will learn how to use a JAVA 3D Slicer to analyze 3D scientific data sets. This HDF three dimensional data set represents the concentration of a fuel/air mixture in a closed container for an instant in time (750 units of time) after the fuel was injected into the container. The data is from an experiment that simulated the injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of a jet engine. Each fuel concentration value is represented by the combination of the x, y, and z coordinates which define the dimensions of the box. The purpose of the experiment was to test different shapes of fuel injection ports to derive the best shape for achieving the optimal fuel/air mix. In the concentration diagram below you can see the elliptical injection port on the left; this is where the fuel is injected into the chamber. Next, the fuel flows to the right and forms an elliptical cloud of fuel and air.
In this activity you will use the JAVA 3D Slicer to view the three dimensional data set. While "slicing" through the x, y, and z planes you will observe trends in the fuel concentrations. As you move the slice through the data the observed colors will change; red stands for the highest concentration and purple for the lowest concentration.
To perform this activity you will use the first data set in the brown.hdf file (although it should already be selected, you can make sure by selecting the drop down menu from the upper right hand corner of the JAVA applet). The data set exists in the JAVA 3D Slicer's folder; it is named brown.hdf. To access the file you select the drop down menu on the top of the JAVA applet and select "Open URL", then type "brown.hdf" (without the quotes). The data set will then load on the screen and you can move the "slice" through the data to observe certain trends and concentration levels.

There is a dilemma for all tenants of a public or private cloud: Scope. Tenants want everything to be in scope. Cloud Service Providers (CSP) want to limit scope to the bare minimum. What does it mean for a Cloud to be 'PCI Compliant', and why is this a requirement for some tenants? The real issue is, what is in scope for PCI-DSS while your data is in the cloud, and how can you as the tenant meet those requirements? Remember, in the cloud, scope becomes a huge issue and a dilemma for the tenant, mainly because they may not know the scope of the cloud provider's audit and may never find it out. So what is this scope issue and can it be fixed?
There are a growing number of cloud services that will fall under the jurisdiction of PCI-DSS, from public cloud customer-facing web sites with order forms to cloud-based storage where those records, workloads, and other personal identifiable information (PII) is stored. So yes, PCI-DSS must include Data Protection (Virtualization Backup) as well as Cloud Computing and your local virtual or private cloud environment. PCI-DSS spans the entire spectrum of hybrid cloud security. Currently, others have claimed the following:
 - IaaS: The CSP is responsible for everything below the hypervisor including its own management processes, but the tenant is responsible for everything above the hardware.
 - SaaS: The CSP is responsible for everything through the app but not the tenant's data.
 - PaaS: The CSP is responsible for the 'stack' but not the final application and not the tenant's data.
 - Recovery as a Service (RaaS): The CSP is only responsible for its portal and the underlying disk infrastructure, and the tenant is responsible for the data.
There is a common thread throughout all these: the CSP is NOT responsible for customer data. But PCI-DSS is all about protecting the data, which implies that the tenant is responsible for all data needs.
The PCI-DSS Dilemma
The real issue here is, how is the PII data protected at rest, but also in motion? This implies that the CSP's hardware, which the data travels through (physical switches, storage fabrics, compute nodes), also comes into scope. But this is an area that the tenant cannot normally audit to ensure PCI-DSS is followed.
Yet, the CSP has done an audit, and it can be referenced. But this is misleading as the scope of that audit is the CSP's own handling of PII, and the tenant workloads are not necessarily considered PII (unless the cloud provider signs up to treat such data as PII). Given this, the scope of the CSP audit is much different than where the tenants data resides, runs, and moves around the environment.
However, we need to also consider End User Computing devices, which are used to access PII every day. Do these devices, and the wireless networks to which they are connected, fall into scope as well? What happens if these devices also connect to foreign (as in not approved) clouds? Do those connections now come into scope? PII traveling through AT&T or Verizon from my iPad would be encrypted, but you would have to prove such encryption if this was the modus operandi for the end users.
Concluding Thoughts
There are some interesting concepts around PCI-DSS audits that pertain to cloud services that include data protection, which makes me wonder if the audits for CSPs are scoped properly. I think not; I think PCI-DSS has to rule on this, but should treat all data in a cloud as being PII unless otherwise told. This way, we can properly rely on CSP audits of underlying levels. But I also think the new clouds for data protection are wide open and generally out of scope for current PCI-DSS audits; they should not be. What are your thoughts?

 As a user of the cloud I would always be interested in compliance against the standards. Since the data resides and moves on the cloud infrastructure, data points will be needed from cloud provider for audit purposes.
 Cloud service providers can think of providing data points ( preferably the violations ) based on analysis of the data for compliance to tenants as a service.

 Agreed, but only if they can provide corroborating logs on a per tenant basis. Unfortunately, some logs do not tag or separate by tenant.

If the sqlite3_vtab_nochange(X) routine is called within the xColumn method of a virtual table, then it might return true if the column is being fetched as part of an UPDATE operation during which the column value will not change. The virtual table implementation can use this hint as permission to substitute a return value that is less expensive to compute and that the corresponding xUpdate method understands as a "no-change" value.
If the xColumn method calls sqlite3_vtab_nochange() and finds that the column is not changed by the UPDATE statement, then the xColumn method can optionally return without setting a result, without calling any of the sqlite3_result_xxxxx() interfaces. In that case, sqlite3_value_nochange(X) will return true for the same column in the xUpdate method.
The sqlite3_vtab_nochange() routine is an optimization. Virtual table implementations should continue to give a correct answer even if the sqlite3_vtab_nochange() interface were to always return false. In the current implementation, the sqlite3_vtab_nochange() interface does always returns false for the enhanced UPDATE FROM statement.

Round Force-Sensitive/ Sensing Resistor - FSR
- Product ID: 253
- MPN: SFE9375
Need a sensor to detect weight/force/pressure, Force Sensitive Resistor aka FSR is the component you are looking for. This FSR is model 402 by Interlink Electronics with the sensing region diameter 14.7mm.
FSR's are basically a resistor that changes its resistive value (in ohms Ω) depending on how much it's pressed. These sensors are fairly low cost, and easy to use but they're rarely accurate. They also vary some from sensor to sensor perhaps 10%. So basically when you use FSR's you should only expect to get ranges of response. While FSRs can detect weight, they're a bad choice for detecting exactly how many pounds of weight are on them.The model 402 FSR is a single-zone Force Sensing Resistor optimized for use in human touch control of electronic devices such as automotive electronics, medical systems, and in industrial and robotics applications. FSRs are two-wire devices. They are robust polymer thick film (PTF) sensors that exhibit a decrease in resistance with increase in force applied to the surface of the sensor. It has a 14.7mm diameter active area and is available in 4 connection options.


The Question:
Was Alfred Nobel married and did he have children?
The Answer:
No and no.
Swedish-born chemist and inventor Alfred Bernhard Nobel was what we call nowadays "a workaholic," which left little time for a personal life. He spent a good portion of his life traveling and working. By the time he died in 1896 Nobel had learned several languages and had 355 patents.
According to the Nobel Museum in Stockholm, the closest Nobel ever came to having a wife was when he was 43 years old. He ran the following ad in the newspaper: "Wealthy highly-educated elderly gentleman seeks lady of mature age, versed in languages, as secretary and supervisor of household."
The most qualified candidate was an Austrian woman named Countess Bertha Kinsky. She worked for Nobel for two years beginning in 1876 before returning to Austria to marry Count Arthur von Suttner. Despite this, Nobel and Bertha von Suttner remained good friends and corresponded regularly.
As time went on von Suttner became increasingly critical of the arms race and in 1899 published what would become a classic book in the peace movement, Die Waffen nieder (Lay Down Your Arms).
Unquestionably this relationship influenced Nobel when he wrote his final will which established annual awards, called Nobel Prizes, for work in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, and literature, and toward the promotion of international peace.
Bertha von Suttner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1905.

Masters student uses pedal power to create novel machine
An innovative bicycle-powered water pump, created by a student at the University of Sheffield, has proved a huge success and is now in regular production in Guatemala, transforming the lives of rural residents.
Jon Leary, 24, a MEng student in the University's Department of Mechanical Engineering, took his bicycle machine design from a Steel City drawing board to the heart of Guatemala as part of his dissertation, which required him to 'make something useful out of rubbish.'
During his four month stint in Guatemala, Jon spent time improving the design for his bicibomba movil – a mobile bicycle-powered water pump to be used for irrigation and general water distribution - by working with the Guatemalan NGO Maya Pedal, who design and build a variety of weird and wonderful bicycle machines using abandoned bikes sent over from the US and Canada. Maya Pedal's aim is to produce machines which can improve the daily lives of locals, without them having to resort to expensive electrical or environmentally damaging fossil fuelled machines. Their machines, which are human-powered sustainable energy sources, range from the bicilavadora (bicycle washing machine) to the bicimolino (corn grinder).
Jon created the machine using a normal bike, which is plugged into a frame with an old electrical pump converted to a friction drive attached to the back wheel. The back tyre of the bike makes direct contact with the former armature of the motor, which is covered with rubber from an old tyre to give better grip. The machine was tested to a range of heights and on flat ground the pump can achieve a 40 litres per minute flow rate - equal to about three normal showers. At 26 meters, a flow rate of 5 liters per minute can be achieved.
The bike frame can be built quickly and easily using only basic workshop tools and materials, including a few lengths of angle iron, some flat lengths of metal, bicycle seat posts and seat tubes, and a scrapped standard electric centrifugal water pump.
Prior to Jon's design, Maya Pedal had already produced a popular machine capable of drawing water from up to 30m below the surface, however many farmers lived on steep inclines and wanted to distribute the water once it had been extracted from the well. As a result, unlike Maya Pedal's other static designs, Jon's bike is completely mobile - when a person is done pumping, they can simply flip the frame upside down and it will sit on top of the back wheel like a pannier rack. This mobility enables users to pump from the bottom of the hill to a mid-way tank until full, and then continue pumping from the mid-way tank to the top of the hill. The number of mid-way tanks can be increased indefinitely, effectively making the pumping distance unlimited.
The machine is now in regular production in Guatemala and at least six more models have been made since Jon's departure from the country last summer. Jon has since produced an open source construction manual for the machine, which is freely available on Maya Pedal's web site. The manual was recently sent to Malawi by students from the University of Strathclyde involved in a rural irrigation project aiming to address some of the agricultural problems that the developing nation is facing.
In two months time, Jon will return to Guatemala with a team of three more of the University's recent graduates from the Department of Mechanical Engineering to design, build and test a wind turbine. The turbine will be designed specifically for Maya Pedal and as a result will be constructed from disused bicycle parts and other scrap materials.
Jon said: "When I was asked to design a novel product from waste material for my Master's thesis, I never would have expected that I'd end up welding together bicycle machines in the highlands of Guatemala! Working at Maya Pedal was like being on Scrapheap Challenge - there is a storeroom full of stripped down bicycle parts, a workshop full of tools and the only limit is your own imagination. There was never a dull day, the volunteers came from all around the world to be there and everyone in the local town was so friendly - it's certainly an experience I'll never forget."
Dr Steve Bradbury from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield, said: "It is gratifying to see that the design expertise that we foster in our students can be utilised in worthy projects such as this. It is a result where everybody wins; Jon, the University and most importantly, the people of Guatamala."


Leicester attacked by Prince Rupert
(71 words)
Historical Context Note
Prince Rupert of the Rhine, King Charles' nephew, made his attack on Leicester at the end of May 1645 primarily as a divisionary tactic. The Parliamentarians had attacked Oxford, one of Charles's strongholds, and Rupert decided to attack the Midlands town of Leicester to draw forces away from Oxford. The Royalists used their artillery to bombard the city walls, and after successfully breaching the walls, they took the city with little difficulty.

Definition - What does Caveat Emptor mean?
Caveat emptor is a Latin phrase that means "let the buyer beware."
Functionally, courts apply caveat emptor as a rule to limit the ability of purchasers to sue sellers when the purchaser failed to reasonably test, examine or inspect a purchased product.
When sellers attach a caveat emptor warning to what they are selling, they are typically warning purchasers that they must take what they buy "as is."
Justipedia explains Caveat Emptor
If someone was selling a used car with a caveat emptor warning, a potential buyer would be put on notice to take the car for a test drive, and to examine things like the engine, transmission and brakes before buying the car. Caveat emptor would prevent this buyer from suing the seller if, after buying the car, the buyer learned that the car's brakes needed to be replaced.
However, caveat emptor does not protect sellers if they engage in fraudulent or negligent selling practices. So, in the used car example, caveat emptor would not protect the seller if the seller promised the buyer that the car's brakes were in perfect condition.

Conditional code compilation in Java
In C/C++ there is a construct which allows you to conditionally compile code. Yes I am talking about the _TAG_... _TAG_ Java doesn't have an equivalent. But you can use the following clever trick to achieve the same functionality.
Why conditionally compile code?
So before we proceed, you might ask me, why we need to do conditionally compiling? There are couple of reasons, but the main reason which motivated me to look for the solution is to conditionally enable debug statements. You can say that we can probably use a boolean variable or a function call, to determine whether we need to output the debug statement or not. But if the number of debug statements is high then they could add up.
Setting up final boolean variable
So the trick is simple. You have to create a if statement with a boolean private variable and if you make the boolean private variable as final and set the value to false, then at compile time, the compiler will be able to determine that these code branches are unreachable and will not include them as part of the compiled code.
Sample Code
The following sample code explains this trick.

The Contractualist Dilemma
In moral and political philosophy many contractualist views appeal to hypothetical consent when justifying their proposed normative contents. In this paper I argue that all of them fail. In particular, I defend three claims. First, I consider and develop what I call the common objection to contractualism: that the stipulation of a hypothetical consent adds nothing to the independent reasons offered in contractualist procedures in favor of the normative content in question. Second, I hold that this objection gives rise to what I call the contractualist dilemma. Third, in light of the dilemma, I argue that contractualism should be understood in a non-justificatory way. These three claims might sound familiar to readers versed on the contractualist tradition. It is striking, however, how many contemporary authors continue to defend contractualism as a method of justification despite these arguments. This paper is thus a strong invitation to finally abandon the justificatory interpretation of this view.

Experimental Investigation Of The Effect Of Solid-mixture On The Cavitation Characteristic Of A Centrifugal Pump
Free (open access)
A. Ladouani & A. Nemdili
The purpose of this work is to study the effect of solid-mixture on the cavitation characteristic of a centrifugal pump. However, pump tests under varied volumetric concentrations of sandy clay are reported. The experimental results show that: - at low flow rates, NPSH curves are independent of the silt concentration, - at high flow rates, NPSH curves of silt mixtures appear to be higher than those of water, - the both required and available NPSH curves show that cavitation flow rates decrease with increasing concentration, indicating that cavitation accelerates with the concentration. Finally, based on the silt studied, it can be concluded that the cavitation NPSH curve at high flow rates is not sensitive to gravitational forces, but only to the viscous flows. Keywords: centrifugal pump, solid-mixture, cavitation, NPSH curve, silt concentration. 1 Introduction In Algeria, silting of reservoirs has become a major drawback for all existing dams, because it causes very high losses in capacity. Such losses are estimated at 20 million cubic meters per year for some dams (Errih ). Hydraulic dredging

Exports Overview
Data Exports provide administrators with a tool to extract data from the system. It is a tool that exports data, it is not a report building tool, formatting for the overall report, headers, etc, are not included with the functionality. This tool is also used to create carrier files in the requested format, either HIPAA 834 or proprietary layout.
Data Exports allow administrators to quickly get data into an Excel spreadsheet, then Excel functionality can be used to format the data as desired. Data Exports can be grouped into Categories, which can help keep similar exports together, keep important exports separated (which helps reduce the risk of accidental changes or deletion), and keep test exports separated from production exports. Categories can easily be created by the administrator and exports can easily be assigned to categories, including changing the assigned category.
There are also some pre-configured exports, which provide the administrator a starting point with a single click of the mouse. These are called Quick Excel Exports. There are examples provided in the Appendices at the end of this document.
**Users that have access to the Enterprise Portal are able to copy exports across accounts reducing the need to re-build the same export in a different account.**

"We need space to get to know each other … Only in dialogue — and as Pope Francis says, only in the culture of encounter — do we get to understand each other's inner culture."
Immaculate Heart of Mary Sister Ruth Bolarte, keynote speaker, shared this insight and many others during the Diocese of Trenton's "Walking Together as Church" conference Nov. 18 at St. Anthony of Padua Parish, Hightstown. The 50-some parish leaders of various ministries who attended explored the differences between cultural interpretations of behavior and styles of communication, which can sometimes be barriers to better understanding of people from diverse backgrounds.
PHOTO GALLERY: "Walking Together As Church" conference
Observing the Terrain
"It's interesting to know the sea you are swimming in," said Terry Ginther, diocesan chancellor and executive director of the Office of Pastoral Life and Mission, who shared statistics of the various cultures represented in the Diocese's 97 parishes. Ginther stressed the understanding of an "intercultural" Church — one that recognizes and appreciates the tapestry of various expressions of the Catholic faith. "Step back and look at what culture means; it's so much deeper than different foods, languages and dress."
Sister Ruth pointed out that the theological term "inculturation" speaks to the relationship between culture and God. "How do we experience God and manifest our spiritual life?" she asked. "As missionaries, we need to take into consideration the culture of the people we are working with. We are called to affirm the Gospel that is already in the culture, but we are also called to purify, according to Gospel values."
Participants had several opportunities for small-group discussions. One in particular addressed both old and new interpretations of the cultural mix of America and its Church.
"What are you working toward in your parishes?" Sister Ruth asked. Formerly described as a "melting pot," the parish is currently compared to different metaphorical images: a salad, a mosaic or a stew. Although all have some relevance, Sister Ruth pointed out, there are limitations.
"The mosaic is not dynamic but fixed … the pieces are together, but not really mixed," she explained. "The salad contributes various ingredients, but the limitation is that you can pick out what you don't want." In the stew metaphor, however, the ingredients remain distinct, "but they are changed through being together… because of our living together, I have changed."
Cultural Differences as Strengths
Sister Ruth broke down the differences between "enculturation," adapting to the norms of society; "acculturation," changes that occur from continuous first-hand contact with another culture; and "inculturation," a theological term for one's ethnic dimension intersecting with spiritual life.

Ethnocentrism — judging others through one's own cultural reference, thinking "my way is normal, their way is weird" — is part of being human, Sister Ruth noted. "Our job is to recognize that by self-reflection and engaging in dialogue."
One's internal culture, she pointed out, can influence the way a person expresses their faith — either through a lens of collectivism, in which the group and relationships are prioritized, common in Asian and African cultures; or individualism, which starts with the well-being of the individual's rights and opportunities, embraced by many Western cultures.
"Both are OK — they are just different; both have strengths and limitations," she said, noting that more work may need to be done to engage with people whose inner culture encourages them to seek group approval first or to save face by pretending that "everything is fine."
Engaging the Faithful
Deacon Tom Garvey of St. Anthony Parish, who is proud of the work his parish is already doing to bring its different cultures together for shared events, said, "I see how much our Spanish community brings enrichment to the spiritual life of the parish, with their great enthusiasm and celebrations of their culture.
"I would like to see more explanation — some background on what it's all about — of what another culture is doing for different events," he continued, pointing out that many English-speaking parishioners are unfamiliar with their significance.
Kathleen McGrorry, youth minister and catechetical leader in St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish, Bradley Beach, said "What stood out to me was the [discussion of] ethnocentrism, where we judge others through our own eyes." She also was intrigued by the topic of the "survival mode" many people from non-Western cultures enter when adapting to the Church in the United States. Moving forward, her ideas include "trying to meet people where they are, not just to include but to accommodate."
"Today I've been able to recognize and accept that there are different ways not only to connect with the community, but with the Catholic Church overall," said Ana Acatitla Cosme, religious education secretary and catechetical leader in Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, Lakewood. Training opportunities like the Walking Together as Church conference are important, she said, because "you get to see that certain things you have been doing [in ministry] aren't so normal for other people. I'm definitely taking some ideas back [to my parish], such as being able to [recognize how] people's traditional and cultural events connect with the Catholic Church."

Strategies for Including Women's and LGBTI Groups in the Colombian Peace Process
Inclusion in Colombia cover
Publisher: SIPRI
November, 2020
In order to have a more nuanced understanding of inclusive peace processes, it is important to understand how civil society can connect to formal peace negotiations. The Colombian peace negotiation process is highly regarded as one of the most inclusive processes; involving civil society groups from diverse backgrounds, including both women's and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/ transsexual and intersex (LGBTI) groups. But how do these groups leverage influence among the main conflict actors, and what specific challenges and opportunities do they face?
This paper applies a conflict resolution and negotiation framework to assess the involvement of women's and LGBTI groups in the most recent Colombian peace negotiation process. In doing so, the suggested framework provides a practical application of conflict resolution and negotiation strategies that can further complement discussions on inclusion of marginalized groups in other peace negotiation processes.

Omega TK 2.5.2
New features
 - The fragment library is now shared across multiple instances of the OEOmega objects in a thread-safe manner. This can greatly reduce the amount of memory needed to run a multi-threaded version of Omega TK. For example, the memory consumption of Omega TK running across 8-cores dropped from 715MB to 258MB for 14,000 lead-like compounds from MDDR. This can also lead to a performance improvement since expensive fragment generation can sometimes be avoided if it has already been completed by another thread.
 - The internal fragment library for the Omega TK shared library is now stored in a more space and time efficient manner. Creating an OEOmega object and running it on a single molecule should now be faster. For example, running the example on a single benzene now takes 0.25 seconds instead of 0.83 seconds. Your mileage may vary depending upon operating system and hardware.
 - The python global interpreter lock will now be released when entering OMEGA toolkit calls.
Minor bug fixes
 - Now OEOmega.operator() will fail nicely and return false for non-3D input if SetFromCT is set to false.
 - All ring bonds will be left unset by OEFlipper unless forceFlip=true.

In the present paper, the nonstandard analysis is used to derive the jump conditions across the shock wave in one-dimensional, unsteady, inviscid flow of nonideal gas
in the presence of magnetic field.
Nonideal gas expansion considerations can become important when the reference position of the gas from its critical state is changed over processing conditions.
A numerical friendly form of Redlich-Kwong cubic equation of state in compressibility factor, Z, is used to model nonideal gas behavior.
2 of the nonideal gas and R, radius of the bubble, is calculated from Eq.

Background: Early patient contacts are considered important in medical education.
Aims: We studied the influence of a real patient trigger on study motivation and learning in problem-based study groups of first-year medical and dentistry students.
Methods: 156 eligible students were allocated into 17 groups. Six randomly selected groups received both the real patient and paper trigger, and 11 groups received only the paper trigger. The immediate and later effects of the trigger were assessed with qualitative and quantitative questionnaires and exam scores. The tutors answered questionnaires concerning learning outcomes.
Results: The students reported that the real patient trigger significantly improved their study motivation, understanding of the learning objectives and confidence in future patient encounters. The real patient trigger was considered significantly more interesting than the paper case. No statistically significant difference was observed in the exam scores. The tutors observed that groups with poor previous performance gained better results in study sessions.
Conclusions: Real patient triggers motivate students to learn basic medical sciences. Ways to present real patients to students should be considered in medical curricula from early on.

BC Hydro says it could cost as much as C$70 million (US$66 million) to mitigate piping and seismic risks at 67.5-MW Strathcona Dam, an earthfill dam constructed in the 1950s.
BC Hydro previously acknowledged its dam did not meet modern-day standards, noting internal erosion could occur within the dam core. Over time, the utility said, erosion could result in sinkholes or subsidence of the crest and lead to dam overtopping.
In its 2007-2010 service plan, the province-owned utility said it is studying how best to mitigate piping and seismic risks at the dam. In addition to possible internal erosion and degradation in the dam, BC Hydro said the concrete intake structure, the adjoining conduit through the base of the dam, the dam itself, and the spillway might be at significant risk in an earthquake.
BC Hydro estimates the total cost for a Strathcona Dam seismic and seepage project could range from C$50 million to C$70 million (US$47 million to US$66 million). It also set a targeted completion date of 2010 for the work.
BC Hydro upgraded the dam's crest in 2005 to provide the Campbell River hydroelectric system with increased capacity to accommodate extreme floods. (HNN 11/23/05) The Strathcona powerhouse is one of three generating stations in the utility's Campbell River System, on British Columbia's Vancouver Island. (HNN 7/26/06)

Building bridges doesn't exactly sound like it would make for fun gaming, does it? Developer Dry Cactus would certainly like to change your mind. Along comes Poly Bridge, a cute physics-based puzzle game on PC, via Steam's Early Access system.
Starting the game for the first time, the tutorial leaps into action to teach you the basics of bridge building. You start in the building view, with a basic, 2D representation of the level. Red dots denote the beginning and end of each stage, with further red dots showing other building points that may or may not be integral to the structure of your bridge. Using this view, you are taught about the materials you can use (road, wood and steel are the ones you'll use most often) and, using the simple point and click control scheme, you will draw out your design and attempt to get a set vehicle from one end to the other.
Once you've created your bridge design, a quick click of the 'start simulation' button (or a press of the space bar) will change the view to 3D and set everything in motion. In this view, the gorgeously stylised, cartoony bikes, cars, buses, and many other vehicle types make their way from point A to B – as long as your structure remains intact, of course.
There will be many failures in your bridge-building future, some of them hilarious, but every time the poor driver falls to his/her death in a shower of concrete and wood and steel, it's a lesson as to where your design was weak. Literally. There's a stress feature in simulation mode, with joints changing colour from green to red, signalling where the structure needs reinforcing for the next attempt. There's a real feeling of accomplishment when you get a particularly tough design right, especially as there are some real head-scratchers later on.
Poly Bridge does a good job with its difficulty curve, periodically introducing new challenges as you get further into the game. There are a few that stretch this limit now and again, but most of them can be beaten through patience and a system of trial and error. Many designs do end up as a spiderweb of wood or steel during the earlier stages, some later on won't even work as real bridges, but as long as you get the vehicles to their destinations, the bridge doesn't have to survive the journey. Is this a failing of the game? Maybe it is but, as with Besiege, half of the fun is in finding ridiculous solutions to levels. And when some levels require you to build jumps, why would you ever expect total realism?
The difficulty level isn't tied to the budgets for each stage, either. If you go over budget but still build a successful bridge, the game will allow you to progress to the next stage. You don't even have to complete every stage to move on to the next world, only a certain percentage. There are currently three worlds at the time of writing, with around twelve stages in each one, and more worlds are due to be added over time, which will mean that your £8.99 gets you over thirty levels right now, with over fifty expected by the time Poly Bridge leaves Early Access.
Early Access does mean that bugs are present in the game, as it isn't actually finished yet. Luckily, these are already extremely rare in the main game. The bulk of the bugs come when entering Sandbox mode, unlocked after completing the first world. Sandbox intends on giving players the ability to craft their own puzzles for others to solve. You can build a level, decide on the budget and if there will be restrictions on available resources, and then share your creation via Steam Workshop. When I attempted to use this feature however, it broke multiple times but it was possible to see the potential of this level editor, once the game is completed.
The social aspect doesn't end there, either. At the end of each simulation attempt, whether successful or not, you can share the replay online. A random replay option on the main menu allows players to watch these attempts, sometimes they'll give you ideas for bridge designs and others they'll just entertain.
Poly Bridge is already a fun game, whether you're into puzzle games or not. It never rushes you, its soothing soundtrack keeps things relaxed, it even entertains its players during spectacular failures. It's well worth your £8.99 even before all the content is added, which means that once Dry Cactus adds the final levels and fixes Sandbox mode (unlocking endless potential for player-created levels), Poly Bridge will only get better and better.

Build a Titanium Mobile Pizza Ordering App: Crust Selection
This post is part of a series called Build a Titanium Mobile Pizza Ordering App.
Build a Titanium Mobile Pizza Ordering App: Topping Selection
In this multi-part tutorial series, I'll be teaching you how to build a Titanium Mobile app from start to finish. Specifically, you'll learn how to build a Pizza Shop app that will allow customers to order a custom pizza on the go. In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to setup the project and create a "Crust Selection" screen.
Step 1: Create a New Project
Open up Titanium and create a new mobile project. Now is a good time to go ahead and download the zip file attached to this post as well. The zip file attached to this post contains a subfolder called "images". Once you have created your empty project, place the "images" folder in your new project's "resources" folder. While inside the "resources" folder, go ahead and create a new subfolder called "main_windows" as well as a subfolder called "includes".
Step 2: Edit App.js
Browse to the Resources/app.js file. There is a lot of stuff in this file already that we do not need. Go ahead and remove everything and replace it with the following:
What we did here is set our background color, made a new window called "main", and then opened it. Main will hold all of our sub windows like crusts and toppings.
Notice the URL property on the window. In the Resources folder, make a new folder called "main_windows" if you haven't already and a new JS file called main.js. The URL property tells the compiler to use main.js as our window. If you skip this part, Titanium will throw an ugly red error in the emulator.
Step 3: Adding a Background and a Clock
If you haven't already made a main.js file and saved it in the main_windows folder, do so now. Open main.js and add the following:
If you haven't created an "includes" folder in the resources folder, do so now. Next, create a new JS file called clock.js. Save it to the "includes" folder and add the following:
So what we did is create 3 sub windows, set our background and included a clock that updates every 5 seconds. The reason for the clock is our application is set to fullscreen mode, so the default device status bar and time will not be displayed. Go ahead and compile. Your screen should look like the below image:
Step 4: Creating and Opening the Crusts Window
Create a new JS file called crusts.js and save it in the main_windows folder. You can leave it blank for now. Go back to main.js. We need to add a method that opens our crusts window, so add the following to main.js
To explain the above: we made a method called openCrust(), we set the url property on our crusts window to "crusts.js", and then we opened it. The reason we are passing an empty object is because later in this tutorial series, we will actually be passing data to this method. You don't need to compile just yet as you will see no visible change.
Step 5: Editing the crusts.js File
This file will contain a scroll view that allows the user to swipe through the various crusts offered by our pizza shop. We will also add a next button that will take the user to the toppings window:
So we created our crust views, a scroll view, and added the crust views to the scroll view. We also created a custom title and a next button. Go ahead and compile. Your app should now look like this and have the swiping functionality. As you swipe, you will notice the title above the pizza image will change to whatever crust you are on. That is thanks to the "scroll" event we added to our scroll view.
In part 1 of this series, we created our main window to contain our sub windows. We created an openCrust method that will evolve through this series of tutorials. It is pretty basic right now. We created our first essential screen, the crusts window. This allows the user to swipe through the crusts we offer. The next, or toppings, button is firing a custom event in the background. In the next part of this tutorial, we will look back to our main.js file and listen for the custom event that will allow us to start adding toppings to our pizza!

Validation of Water Quality Data Measured Using Automatic Monitoring Sensor in Lake Shinji and Lake Nakaumi
d0070010l010.pdf 285 KB
Data on water quality of Lake Shinji and Lake Nakaumi were obtained at one hour intervals using an automatic water quality monitoring device provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Government of Japan. Out of the various parameters measured, the data on water temperature, salinity and chlorophyll-a were validated by comparing with the field data obtained through in situ measurements during _PHONE_. The difference between the automatically measured sensor data and the field data was estimated by comparing these data without considering the vertical variations. The results show that the difference between the two datasets of water temperature is 0.0±0.4℃ in Lake Shinji and -0.2±0.2℃ in Lake Nakaumi, that of salinity is 0.2±0.1 psu in Lake Shinji and 0.0±0.3 psu in Lake Nakaumi and that of chlorophyll-a is 0.3±2.1 mg/m^3 in Lake Nakaumi(excluding the middle layer value).

AdvantaPure, the division of plastics tubing manufacturer NewAge Industries, has been granted a second US patent (number 9,869,408) for its AdvantaPass technology.
The US-based company introduced AdvantaPass four years ago. The product is a cleanroom wall portal system used to transfer large volumes of biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical fluids between different classes of cleanrooms. The system maintains the separation of room atmospheres and minimizes contamination risks.
AdvantaPass's first US patent (number 8,870,230) was assigned for the system's unique method of providing complete isolation between manufacturing suites when conveying multiple lines of fluid through a single wall portal. It integrates single-use tubing, connectors and seals with permanently-mounted stainless steel components to reduce and even eliminate certain cleaning validations.
Unlike the first patent, the new patent includes installation methods and uses for the AdvantaPass system.
Improvements to the technology such as welded wall portals, the elimination of adhesives or sealants, additional choices for sealing and clamping to create a closed system, and adjustable wall flanges are part of the second patent.
"It's part of our commitment to continuous process improvement," said Gregg Donovan, product marketing manager. "These upgrades to AdvantaPass give users more options when it comes to mounting and using the system while retaining its most important feature: using multiple fluid transfer lines safely through a single portal."
AdvantaPass works with single-use tubing and components made from AdvantaSil platinum-cured silicone or from weldable and sealable AdvantaFlex biopharmaceutical grade TPE.
The system involves fewer moving parts and less maintenance than similar transfer methods and may be retrofitted into existing manufacturing suites or installed in newly constructed facilities.
