Boating Under the Influence In South Carolina
The BUI Laws in South Carolina
Boating while impaired by alcohol or drugs is illegal in South Carolina just as it is illegal to drive a car while drunk. Section 50-21-112 of the South Carolina statutes specifies "operation of moving motorized water device or water device under sail while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol to the extent that the person's faculties are materially and appreciably impaired." The statute also clarifies that a "drug" may be legal or illegal, or may be a combination of alcohol and a legal or illegal drug.
What are the Open Container Laws in South Carolina?
Be safe and avoid boating under the influence on South Carolina lakes and rivers
While the law is clear in regard to operating a boat while impaired, that still leaves questions related to the use of alcohol and the presence of open containers on boats. Specifically:
 - Can you have open alcohol containers on a boat in South Carolina?
 - Can you drink while boating on a South Carolina lake?
We've previously addressed this topic in a blog post and noted:
"South Carolina law doesn't expressly prohibit open containers of alcohol on boats within the state. Presumably, this means that the occupants of a boat can enjoy a beer as they enjoy cruising on a lake or river.
[However], just because a person might be able to have an open container of alcohol on a boat doesn't mean that drunk driving laws don't apply. Much like the laws that apply to drivers on land, boat operators face a legal blood-alcohol content limit of 0.08 percent.
Always be responsible and stay safe while having fun on the water."
Penalties & Consequences of Boating Under the Influence in South Carolina
Penalties for boating under the influence in South Carolina
If you have been charged with boating under the influence (BUI) of drugs or alcohol in South Carolina and are convicted, you face:
 - First offense: A fine of $200 or imprisonment for 48 hours or more. Public service can take the place of imprisonment.
 - Second offense: Penalties rise to $2,000 to $5,000 and imprisonment between 48 hours and one year. Ten days or more of public service may take the place of imprisonment.
 - Third offense: These subsequent convictions may result in fines of $3,500 or more and imprisonment lasting 60 days to three years.
A conviction on drunk boating charges can also have the same types of devastating long-term effects as a drunk driving conviction. These include:
 - Driver's license suspension
 - Difficulty obtaining employment or housing
 - Potential professional discipline or loss of professional licenses
 - Stigma and shame
 - Long-lasting negative consequences to career and other areas of life

We have experience handling all types of difficult DUI/BUI cases in the Charleston area, and have helped clients throughout the region keep BUI charges from ruining their lives.
Know How Alcohol Affects Your Boating Abilities
A man who knows not to drink and boat
When you are out on the water, you might want to have a few drinks with your friends. Before you do that, you should know that you can face criminal charges for boating under the influence. You should also know that just because you can usually have a specific number of drinks and are fine, that might not be the case on the water because alcohol can affect you differently when you are out on the lake in a boat.
The natural effects of being on a boat can induce fatigue, which is also known as boater's hypnosis. The vibration of the boat, motion of the waves and exposure to the sun can all have these effects. Alcohol will intensify these effects, so you likely won't be able to consume as much alcohol as you would on land before you start to become impaired.
Your reaction time is likely going to be slower after you have been drinking. As you know, it isn't possible to stop your boat on a dime in the water. You need to have as much time and mental capacity as possible if you have to make an evasive maneuver while driving the boat.
Alcohol can also affect your balance, which could mean that you are at an increased risk of falling overboard. It can also affect your judgement, which could cause you to take risks you would normally avoid.
All of these are very good reasons to save the alcohol for a time after you dock your boat and won't have to drive anywhere. If you end up facing drunk boating charges, be sure to explore all of the options you have for a defense.
3 Reasons to Avoid Boating Drunk
Avoid boating under the influence in Charleston Harbor
Just about everyone loves to head out on the water in the summer months. The breeze is fantastic, and it's a great time to spend an afternoon with your family and friends. Perhaps you like to go out on your own and go fishing or prefer to take a tour in the evening to go dolphin watching. Whatever it is you like to do when boating, this is the season to enjoy it.
One problem with boating is that some people believe it's safe to drink alcohol and drive a boat. That could not be further from the truth. The reality is that much like any other vehicle, a boat has the potential to crash and malfunction. A driver who is impaired won't be able to respond to an emergency in the way he or she should, and could cause a serious crash on the water. Here are three other reasons to avoid getting drunk while at sea or on a lake.
1. You'll Get Dehydrated Quickly
If you're not drinking water and are spending time in the sun, it's more likely for you to become dehydrated. Combined with the risk of intoxication, you're more likely to suffer symptoms like headaches or disorientation, which could put you in danger.
2. You Could Cause a Crash
This is a serious reason never to drink behind the wheel of a boat. When you're boating, you're not alone on the water. Even though the waterways are more freeing and have more space to travel, it's likely that you'll come across other boaters. Some will have larger vessels, and others will have small, personal vessels. The last thing you want to do is to hit someone or to have someone hit you. By avoiding alcohol, you'll be in a better position to avoid causing or becoming part of a crash.
3. You Could Lose Your License (and Suffer Penalties)
Finally, remember that a boat is still a vehicle, so you can get a BUI if you drive drunk. Boating under the influence is a crime similar to driving under the influence. Boating while intoxicated increases the risk of fatalities by up to 34 percent, according to the U.S. Coast Guard, so you can be penalized for doing so with fines or the loss of your boating license. You could even go to prison if a crash results in a person's death.
Avoiding alcohol when you're boating is a good idea. By playing it safe, you'll enjoy time on the water without the fear of repercussions.
Boating Under the Influence Defense Strategies
The boating under the influence defense strategy you choose can have a big impact on your case. Our lawyers can help you to look into the options that you have so that you know what you might do.
Decide on the Purpose
Our South Carolina boating under the influence lawyers need to determine the purpose of your defense. This can be challenging but it is a crucial part of your plan. If you know for a fact that you weren't drunk while you were boating, you might work to prove that you were innocent. If you know that you were drunk, your focus might be to minimize the penalties. In either case, you should make sure that you aren't delaying your defense by putting off getting started.
Look into the Circumstances
A look into the circumstances surrounding your arrest can let you know how you are going to proceed. You need to try to find points in the prosecution's defense that you can question. Each question you raise might put you one step closer to the goal of your case. Remember that you have to be convicted beyond a reasonable doubt, so raise all the doubt you can.
We know that you might need to get some questions answered. We can answer your questions, help you to learn what options you have for your defense, and develop a strategy for your drunk boating defense case.

This is a follow-up to Question 146635, namely Expected symmetry in the diophantine approximations of an irrational number, which I will refer to for notation and terminology used here without explanation.
Let $x$ be an irrational number and $\mu$ its irrationality measure. For each $s \in \{2\} \cup [2,\mu[$ set
$$G_s := \{n \in \mathbb{N}^+: \|nx\| < n^{1-s}\},$$ and then define $G_s^- := \big\{n \in \mathbb{N}^+: \|nx\| = \{nx\}\big\}$ and $G_s^+ := G_s \setminus G_s^-$ (recall that $\mu \ge 2$). It was already remarked in the other thread that $G_s$ is infinite (by Dirichlet's approximation theorem and the definition itself of $\mu$), so at least one of $G_s^-$ or $G_s^+$ is infinite too.
However, while $G_2^-$ and $G_2^+$ are both infinite, Noam Elkies' example proves that it can well happen that one of $G_s^-$ or $G_s^+$ is finite for all $s \in \; ]2,\mu[$. Moreover, the same example can be generalized to produce a countably infinite family of such examples, by considering Mahler numbers of the form $\sum_{n=0}^\infty a^{-b^n}$, where $a$ and $b$ are integers with $a \ge 2$ and $b \ge 3$ (each of these numbers has irrationality measure equal to $b$; see here for a discussion on this point). As for the case $\mu = \infty$, we can consider Liouville numbers of the form $\sum_{n=0}^\infty 2^{-(n!)^k}$ for $k = 1, 2, \ldots$
Having the above in mind, let us say that $x$ is a balanced number if both $G_s^-$ and $G_s^+$ are infinite for all $s \in \;]2, \mu[$, and unbalanced otherwise. As mentioned in the other thread, almost all numbers are balanced (just because almost all numbers have an irrationality measure equal to $2$). It seems then natural to ask the following:
Q1. Are there uncountably many unbalanced numbers? Q2. More specifically, are there uncountably many [un]balanced numbers of any prescribed irrationality measure (either finite or not)?
I'm pretty sure that the question of deciding whether or not a number is balanced has been stated and studied before, possibly in a more general form. If this is actually the case, then:
Q3. Would you kindly provide me with a reference?
Some further remarks: When $2 \le \mu < \infty$, a rough idea could be to consider a number $x$ of the form $2 \cdot \sum_{n = v}^\infty 3^{-\lfloor \lambda \mu^n\rfloor}$, where $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}^+$ and $v$ is a sufficiently large integer (depending on $\lambda$ and $\mu$). It is known after Y. Bugeaud's Diophantine approximations and Cantor sets (Math. Ann. 341, No. 3 (2008), 677-684) that the irrationality measure of $x$ is $\mu$. However, it seems a little difficult to make Noam's reasoning work in this case too (but I would be rather happy to learn that I'm wrong). Furthermore, this would not cover the case when $\mu$ is infinite.

Yes, there are uncountably many examples (maybe I should have mentioned this variation with my previous answer). For example, $\sum_{k=0}^\infty b_k 10^{-3^k}$ with each $b_k=1$ or $2$. There are uncountably many choices (cardinality of the continuum, even), and for each there are infinitely many lower approximants with exponent approaching 3 (the partial sums, as before), and no comparably good upper approximants.

Cool! This answers Q2 (and hence Q1) in the unbalanced case ($\mu = \infty$ can now be treated in a similar way). But what about the balanced case? – Salvo Tringali Nov 3 '13 at 0:39
Sure: just let $b_k$ be $1$ or $-1$ instead. (If you want to make sure they're exactly balanced then require also that $b_{2k+2} = -b_{2k+1}$.) – Noam D. Elkies Nov 3 '13 at 0:44
Oh yes, I see. Thank you much! – Salvo Tringali Nov 3 '13 at 0:47

Biel-Tan is an Eldar Craftworld, famous for its extreme militarism.
Biel-Tan Craftworld
The Biel-tan Craftworld is famous for its inhabitants' militancy; it is home to more Aspect Warriors than any other craftworld.[2a]
The Eldar of Biel-tan are honourable warriors who have taken it upon themselves to rebuild the lost glory of the ancient Eldar empire, through the destruction of the lesser races who have "usurped" the galaxy, and believe it is glorious to die fighting the enemies of the Craftworld. At the centre of Biel-tan is the Chamber of Heroes where the spirit stones of dead Aspect Warriors are placed. Farseers often come to this room to consult the dead on courses of action.[Needs Citation]
As well as their traditional colours of green and white, the forces of Biel-Tan sport patterns of dark thorny ivy.[2c]
When the Eldar of Biel-Tan go to war they assemble a warhost known as the Bahzhakhain, which means "Swordwind", "Tempest of Blades"[2a] or Frozen Leaves Falling to Cut.[10] The Swordwind's tactic is a single, swift strike taking the enemy by surprise.[2a] This tactic works considerably well with the elite fighting skills of the many Aspect Warriors eliminating the enemy before they can respond. The Biel-Tan therefore make perfect use of the speed and maneuverability of the Wave Serpents and Falcon Grav Tanks.[Needs Citation]
The main target of the Biel-Tan are non-Eldar colonists, particularly non-Eldar occupying Eldar Maiden Worlds. It is especially galling to the Eldar who created these paradise worlds from dead worlds to find them overrun with inferior species. The Eldar of Biel-tan believe the success of other alien races is a threat to the future progression of the Eldar empire. For this reason, the Biel-Tan particularly hate the Orks, Orks being a completely expansionist race, whose occupation of a world quickly becomes permanent. In many cases, Biel-Tan have helped Imperial forces that were under heavy attack by Orks and to hunt down Ork Roks before the tide of Orks can overrun a planet.
The Exarchs of the Craftworld form a council known as the Court of the Young King, it is from this council that the Craftworld's Young Kings are chosen.[2a]
The Swordwind even possess a vehicle that is unique to Biel-Tan. It is a super heavy grav tank called a Void Spinner, which is armed solely with a huge monofilament cannon that works just like any other monofilament weapon except that it incorporates a techno virus that sterilizes the ground that it touches. This makes it extremely useful against the Orks due to the Ork's spore-based method of reproduction, preventing further re-infestation.[Needs Citation]
The symbolic rune of Biel-Tan stands for reincarnation, a fate previously thought reserved for every Eldar before the Fall. The rune roughly translates as Rebirth of Ancient Days, reflecting the intention of the Craftworld to see their former empire restored.[2a][5]
Biel-Tan Eldar[9]
During the closing days of the 41st Millennium, Biel-Tan became the center of the future of the Eldar race. A Biel-Tan native, Yvraine, became an emissary of Ynnead and introduced a plan to birth the God without the need to sacrifice the entirety of the Eldar. However, at the same time, Biel-Tan was subjected to a Daemonic invasion led by Skarbrand and The Masque. Biel-Tan allied with the Ynnari and Phoenix Lords to close the Webway Portal to the Craftworld on Ursulia. The effort was successful, but large numbers of Daemons managed to infiltrate Biel-Tan before the portal was sealed. Worse still, The Masque was able to invade Biel-Tan's Infinity Circuit and began destroying the souls within.[7]
Yvraine revealed that in order to resurrect Ynnead and purge The Masque from Biel-Tan she required an Avatar of the God as well as the Crone Swords. In order to give birth to Yncarne, Yvraine conducted a ritual in Biel-Tan's Infinity Circuit that cost countless Eldar souls. However, while devastated, Biel-Tan endured and remains united on the path to resurrect Ynnead[7]. In the aftermath of the Battle of Biel-tan, its population has been halved with many falling to the Daemons' attack and others choosing to join the ranks of the Ynnari[9]. Those that have remained with the Craftworld now reside on its fleet of ships[8a], while its Bonesingers work tirelessly to keep the world-ship together. These Eldar cling to their orthodox methods, vowing with renewed vigour to destroy all would-be usurpers to their race and bring about a new Aeldari civilisation to rival the ancient empire of old. Biel-Tan's ghost halls have also swelled with newly animated wraith-constructs, bearing the souls of those the infinity circuit can no longer protect[9]. Yet another development is that the surviving members of Biel-Tan's Swordwind have vanished into the Webway. From there, the Swordwind have resolved to maintain the warlike traditions of their Craftworld, and continue to scour ancient Eldar worlds of Xenos usurpers.[8b]

Due to the dryness of the area around Arequipa, water supply has become a very serious issue in San Isidro.
For most of the year during the long dry season, Arequipa barely receives a drop of rain. Due to this extreme aridity the city's water supply is poor, especially in the most deprived areas of the city like San Isidro. This shortage of healthy water creates an unsanitary living environment, which in turn leads to health problems for many of the local people.
Many inhabitants of San Isidro suffer from illnesses caused by their consumption of water from the local supply, which is of an exceptionally low quality. Locals are compelled by their economic status to use water which comes from cisterns that are filled irregularly, or from wells that are located too close to the surface. As this water lies in hot conditions for long periods of time, it tends to become stagnant and thus contaminated with all manner of dangerous bacteria and germs. The water borne diseases can in turn cause or exacerbate malnourishment.

The light-scattering properties of dental enamel and dentin were measured at 543, 632, and 1053 nm. Angularly resolved scattering distributions for these materials were measured from 0° to 180° using a rotating goniometer. Surface scattering was minimized by immersing the samples in an index-matching bath. The scattering and absorption coefficients and the scattering phase function were deduced by comparing the measured scattering data with angularly resolved Monte Carlo light-scattering simulations. Enamel and dentin were best represented by a linear combination of a highly forward-peaked Henyey–Greenstein (HG) phase function and an isotropic phase function. Enamel weakly scatters light between 543 nm and 1.06 μm, with the scattering coefficient (μs) ranging from μs = 15 to 105 cm−1. The phase function is a combination of a HG function with g = 0.96 and a 30–60% isotropic phase function. For enamel, absorption is negligible. Dentin scatters strongly in the visible and near IR (μs ≅ 260 cm−1) and absorbs weakly (μa ≅ 4 cm−1). The scattering phase function for dentin is described by a HG function with g = 0.93 and a very weak isotropic scattering component (~2%).

Effects of tillage direction on sediment yield in Chanchaga Basins
Keywords:Tillage erosion, Rainfall, Contour line ridges, Polynomial regression, Cover Crops, ANCOVA, Runoff, Sediment yield
There is no study on the effect of tillage erosion in the region. Runoff plots (24) were constructed on a similar slope. Now sedimentation tanks were incorporated into runoff measurement using catch-pits to collect coarse and suspended sediment. Quadratic model fits sediment and rainfall, while the exponential model fits runoff and sediment yield. The effect of tillage without a crop was highest on sediment yield. Slope gradients have an effect on sediment deposition in Shatta basin because of the convex and concave landscape. While concave landscape makes the slope gradient to have a none effect on sediment yield in Koropa basin. Ridge made parallel to the slope has a high effect on sediment yield. The study concluded that tillage parallel to the slope has a severe high impact on sediment yield. It causes inter-rill erosion, flooding, river and dam's siltation. It affects the water environment.

Negotiating with Labor Under Financial Distress
We analyze how firms renegotiate labor contracts to extract concessions from labor. While anecdotal evidence suggests that firms tend to renegotiate down wages in times of financial distress, there is no empirical evidence that documents such renegotiation, its determinants, and its magnitude. This paper attempts to fill this gap. Using a unique data set of airlines that includes detailed information on wages and pension plans we document an empirical link between airline financial distress, pension underfunding, and wage concessions.

Keywords: IT management, IT costs, chargeback systems, systems complexity, IT control
The dialectic of IT chargeback systems
Many organisations have adopted chargeback systems whereby users are charged for the IT resources which they use. The purpose is to control the costs of information technology. Chargeback systems have recently received a resurgence of interest with the rapid change in IT. Many writers are currently advocating chargeback systems to control the escalating costs. Chargeback systems are expected to increase user awareness of IT costs, and thereby, improve decision-making and effectiveness of Information Technology. Many organisations have never adopted chargeback systems. They have used other management techniques for controlling IT costs. Chargeback systems have been controversial since the earliest computer applications. The current environment has added new issues which have provoked discussion. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of chargeback systems. The emphasis is on new issues which have arisen due to the changing technological environment. The dimensions which frame the discussion are the evolving empowerment of users, complexity of systems, and the cost structure. Recommendations are made for effectively using chargeback systems alternatives.

Robotic-vacuum maker, BU team up on antisniper device
(Correction: Because of an editing error, a story in yesterday's Business section about an anti-sniper system developed by iRobot misidentified the date on which the company unveiled the system. It was demonstrated by iRobot on Monday at a convention of the Association of the United States Army in Washington.)
IRobot Corp. of Burlington, famous for its robotic vacuum cleaners, has teamed up with researchers at Boston University to develop a military robot capable of spotting enemy snipers.
''You'll actually see the sniper before the smoke disappears from the shot," said Joe Dyer, iRobot's executive vice president and general manager.
IRobot demonstrated the system, called REDOWL (for Robot Enhanced Detection Outpost with Lasers), at the Association of the United States Army convention in Washington yesterday. Testers struck pieces of metal to simulate gunshots. REDOWL quickly aimed its infrared camera and laser rangefinder at the source of the noise, just as it did in tests at a Medfield gun range.
REDOWL is based on iRobot's PackBot, a battery-powered lightweight robot already in active service with the armed forces. PackBots are used to explore dangerous terrain or enter buildings to search for booby traps.
Glenn Thoren, deputy director of the Boston University Photonics Center, wondered if an antisniper system could be mounted atop a PackBot. He used laser rangefinder gear from Insight Technology Inc. in Londonderry, N.H., and sound-detection equipment developed by BioMimetic Systems, an acoustics start-up company founded by Boston University. The REDOWL also includes a Sony digital camera that can zoom in on distant objects or people, and display infrared images at night. When REDOWL's microphones detect a gunshot, the device calculates the source of the sound, swivels the camera, illuminates the target with either visible or infrared light, and uses a laser to calculate the range.
Yet the entire system adds only about 5.5 pounds to the PackBot's weight. Thoren said it's small enough to mount on military vehicles or on the sides of buildings. That makes it much smaller than Boomerang, a competing antisniper technology being developed for the military by BBN Technologies Inc. in Cambridge.
Dyer said that in tests, the REDOWL detected gunfire sources with 94 percent accuracy, and can distinguish between guns. ''It can tell the difference between a 9 millimeter pistol and an AK-47 or an M-16," he said.
The machine also works in urban settings, where snipers are hard to spot because gunshot sounds echo off buildings. Dyer said REDOWL's software can detect the original sound source and ignore the echoes.
In theory, a REDOWL system could fire back at an enemy, but Thoren said the hardware isn't strong enough to support the weight of a gun. Besides, he said, it would be dangerous to have a weapon-toting robot that could open fire on its own.
''You need to have a man in the loop," he said.

Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN)
What Are SGCN?
The State Wildlife Grants program provides funds for conservation efforts aimed at preventing fish and wildlife populations from declining, reducing the potential for these species to be listed as endangered. In order to access these grant funds, New York State was required to develop a Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy (CWCS) that focuses on the Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). This list of SGCN includes species that are rare or declining. In the 2005 CWCS, 537 species were listed as SGCN.
How Was The SGCN List Updated?
Information on life history, conservation status, and population trends for 597 species was compiled into assessments by DEC. A model to categorize SGCN according to the urgency of their conservation need was developed by the New York Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at Cornell University, with input from conservation partners and DEC staff. The technical information from the species assessments was input to the model, resulting in:
- 366 SGCN, of which 167 are High Priority SGCN.
- View the complete SGCN list (PDF) (411 kb)
- 113 additional species categorized as Species of Potential Conservation Need (SPCN), because of insufficient available information to reliably determine their current population status.
- View the SPCN list (PDF) (359 kb)
- 93 species determined to no longer be present in New York.
- 25 species removed from the SGCN list because their populations were determined to be secure in New York.

Vitamin K2 promotes bone healing in a rat femoral osteotomy model with or without glucocorticoid treatment
Jun Iwamoto, Azusa Seki, Yoshihiro Sato, Hideo Matsumoto, Tsuyoshi Tadeda, James K. Yeh
研究成果: Article
20 引用 （Scopus）
抜粋
The purpose of the present preclinical study was to determine whether vitamin K2 would promote bone healing in a rat femoral osteotomy model with or without glucocorticoid (GC) treatment. Thirty-eight 6 week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats underwent a unilateral osteotomy of the femoral diaphysis followed by intramedullary wire fixation and then were randomized into four groups that received the following treatment schedules: vehicle, vitamin K2, GC + vehicle, and GC + vitamin K2. GC (prednisolone, 2.5 mg/kg) was administered subcutaneously twice a week. Vitamin K2 (menatetrenone, 30 mg/ kg) was administered orally five times a week. After 8 weeks of treatment, the wires were removed and a bone histomorphometric analysis was performed on the bone tissue inside the callus. Vitamin K2 administration to GCuntreated rats decreased the osteoclast surface/bone surface (OcS/BS), osteoblast surface (ObS)/BS, eroded surface (ES)/BS, and bone formation rate (BFR)/BS and increased the lamellar area/bone area. Although GC treatment increased the ES/BS and decreased the ObS/BS, BFR/BS, and lamellar area/bone area, vitamin K2 administration to GC-treated rats decreased the OcS/BS and prevented an increase in the ES/BS and a decrease in the lamellar area/ bone area. These results suggested that vitamin K2 downregulated bone turnover and stimulated lamellar bone formation in GC-untreated rats and prevented an increase in bone resorption while maintaining bone formation and prevented a decrease in lamellar bone formation in GCtreated rats. Thus, vitamin K2 appears to be effective for promoting bone healing in a rat femoral osteotomy model with or without GC treatment.

set is cubical if it can be written as a finite union of elementary cubes. For example, one may consider pixels as elementary cubes. More precisely, let be a pixel of a 2D binary image. We view as an elementary cube. Binary images are unions of cubes of types, and hence, binary images are cubical. By way of notation we define the set. Now that we have a basic topological framework, we seek to provide a complementary algebraic framework. For this, we fix a ring and cubical set. We define the -th chain module over, denoted to be the formal span of its elementary cubes of dimension. In other words, by defining, where is the number of non-degenerate intervals in, we see
Note that since is finite, this defines an -module for each. Each element of a chain module is called a chain. The support of a chain is simply the elementary cubes with nonzero coefficients. Naturally then, we would like some way to connect these chain modules over all dimensions. To do this, we need the algebraic boundary map,. We define this map in pieces. For any interval, and for every degenerate interval. Now that we understand the map for intervals, we define for elementary cubes:
where if we have
and in the case is degenerate, we obtain. A fundamental proposition of boundary maps is the following.
Proposition 1.
[24] For any elementary cube, one has.
In fact, this operator extends naturally to a linear operator on the chain modules. In particular, given a chain [24] we see
Thus we see = 0. Notice also a single application of reduces the embedding dimension by at least 1. This means now is a map from the -chain module to the -chain module. Thus given a cubical set we can construct the chain complex which is the collection of all -chain modules along with their boundary maps along with the zero space. To avoid notation overload, we will write for when the context is clear. We can realize a chain complex as the following sequence
Now we call the kernel,, of the -th boundary map to be the -cycles or just cycles and the image to be the -boundary or just boundary. Notice that because we have is a normal additive subgroup of. Hence we define the homology group of to be
This gives rise to the mantra: "homology equals cycles mod the boundaries." We call the rank (or order) of the -th homology group the -th Betti number and write. Intuitively, the -th Betti number tells us how many -dimensional holes our underlying space has. The -th level Betti number counts the number of connected components, the first level Betti number counts the number of "circles" we have and the second level Betti number counts the number of "air pockets" or "spheres" the space has and so on.
4.3 Persistent Homology
At this point, we see the formal definition of Betti number and how to count them for a given set. The main application in this paper is to analyze texture images. However, we cannot directly compute or define the homology of a grayscale or color image, since grayscale or color images are functions rather than sets. This naturally leads to the development of the persistent homology.To study the shapes of functions, one common way is to consider sublevel sets (4.1) [20, 21]. There is a parameter that one may have to make the choice of. In general, selecting a parameter (such as in (4.1)) can be a difficult task. Persistent homology removes the need for choice and considers many parameter values at once, thereby creating a robust theory.
Figure 2: A grayscale image from Outex and a filtration representing the image
We need to be careful about the way we consider many threshold values. Suppose represents a cubical set and let represent the corresponding cubical complex. We define a function and require that whenever, we have. Such a function is called a filtering function. Let be a finite increasing sequence of real numbers where. Then a filtration of is the corresponding sequence. An image has a natural filtration associated to it by considering the sequence. We create a filtering function for by the function.
Suppose that we have a filtration of a cubical complex,
The inclusion induces homomorphism between the homology groups so that for each we have
where each is a homomorphism. We say a homology class is born at if we have and. We say dies at if and one of the following hold:
 - is trivial; or
 - if is born at and is born at and.
In the last condition we employ the elder rule, which allows us to uniquely define the death of a class. This rule says in the choice between two classes, we choose to keep the "oldest" class. We can guarantee that every homology class for some has a birth time. We cannot guarantee that each class has a death time. For such classes, we assign the "death time" as. This procedure allows us to define a unique set of points for each homology class where is the birth time of the class and is its death time. We will define the persistence diagram, but first let us recall the concept of a multi-set. A multi-set is a set along with a multiplicity function, we denote a multi-set by the tuple. Suppose we have a filtering function of a cubical set. A persistence diagram is a multi-set where consists of all unique birth-death pairs along with the diagonal and assigns the multiplicity of the birth-death pairs and for each diagonal element. An example of a diagram can be found in Figure 3(c)-(d). We will often denote by when the context is obvious. Figure 3 shows an example of persistence diagrams of a grayscale image. Although Figure 3(a) is a grayscale image, visual inspection suggests that there are "white" pieces and "black" holes. Its persistence diagrams as shown in Figure 3(c)-(d) confirms the intuition. There are () points that are away from the diagonal line in (), and that suggests they persist for a long period of thresholds. Hence, they are likely the robust features.
We would like to know that this summary of our data is stable in some sense. For us, this means that if we perturb the original points by a small amount, we want the diagrams to different by a small amount. This so-called stability theorem is the cornerstone of persistent homology. A natural question arises: how can one measure the difference of persistence diagrams?
To answer this question we turn our attention to the Wasserstein p-metric for, which we define as follows. Given two diagrams and
for and
The Wasserstein -metric is also known as bottleneck distance. The Wasserstein distance searches over all possible pairings to find an optimal one. It should be noted that an optimal pairing is not necessarily unique. Given the necessity of the bijections, it now becomes apparent, why we need the diagonal to have infinite multiplicity. Otherwise, a pairing would not be possible. This brings us to the popular stability theorem that states that the bottleneck distance is 1-Lipschitz with respect to the -norm on the filtering functions. That is to say if is a cubical set then
The proof of which first appeared in [12]. We end this section with a note that cubical homology and sublevel sets are just one example of many processes by which persistence diagrams arise. In the following section, we will present persistence curves, which rely on persistence diagrams and not the process by which they were created.
(a) Original image.
(b) Binary image thresholded at.

Betti number of this binary image are. (c)-(d) Persistence diagrams of. The rectangular boxes enclosed by the pink dotted and solid line are the fundamental boxes defined in (1). and.
5 Persistence Curves and Stability
This section contains the main idea to construct the persistence curves. The essential idea is the Fundamental Lemma of Persistent Homology [17] which is derived from the elder rule. This lemma states that given a filtering function on a space, one has the following calculation for the corresponding -dimensional diagram,
where represents the counting measure. Figure 3(c)-(d) shows an example of (1). In particular, the rectangular boxes in (c)-(d) enclosed by the dotted line represents the set for, respectively. It is straightforward to observe that and, which are the Betti numbers of Figure 3(b) by visual inspection. However, (1) does not fully utilize the information of the set. Thus we seek to generalize (1) in the following way. Let represent the set of all persistence diagrams. let represent the set of all functions so that for all. Let represent the set of statistics or operators on multi-sets; more precisely, any is a map that takes a multi-set into a scalar. Finally let represent the set of functions on.
Definition 1.
We define a map where
The function is called a persistence curve on with respect to and.
To better understand persistence curves, we begin by discussing examples.
Example 1.
Let if and otherwise. Let be the summation operator,. By Definition 1, we have
Furthermore, if are the -dimensional diagrams associated to a given filtration. Using the Fundamental Lemma of Persistent Homology, we may define the Euler Characteristic of the space corresponding to a threshold is the alternating sum of the space's Betti numbers

Quantum Efficiency Explained
Quantum Efficiency (QE) is a fundamental parameter in the field of optical engineering, describing the efficiency with which a photodetector or photosensitive device converts incoming photons into electrons. It is a critical factor in determining the sensitivity and performance of devices such as cameras, photodiodes, and other imaging sensors.
Definition of Quantum Efficiency
Quantum Efficiency is defined as the ratio of the number of charge carriers (electrons or holes) generated and collected by the device to the number of photons incident on the device. It is expressed as a percentage, indicating the effectiveness of the device in converting light into electrical signals.
The formula for Quantum Efficiency (QE) can be expressed as:
QE = (Number of electrons generated / Number of incident photons) x 100%
Factors Affecting Quantum Efficiency
- Wavelength of the incident light: QE varies with the wavelength of the light, with most devices having a peak QE at certain wavelengths.
- Temperature: Higher temperatures can reduce QE due to increased thermal noise.
- Material properties: The choice of material for the photodetector affects its QE, as different materials have different band gaps and absorption properties.
- Device architecture: The design and construction of the device, including the thickness of the absorption layer and the presence of anti-reflective coatings, can significantly impact QE.
Importance of Quantum Efficiency
High Quantum Efficiency is crucial for applications requiring high sensitivity and low-light performance, such as astronomical imaging, medical imaging, and various scientific research fields. A higher QE means that the device can detect fainter signals and produce clearer, more accurate images.
In summary, Quantum Efficiency is a vital measure of a photodetector's performance, indicating its ability to convert light into electrical signals efficiently. Understanding and optimizing QE is essential for the development of advanced optical and imaging technologies.

Aloe Vera gel is not only good for skin, stomach, and our immune system, but it is great for our hair as well. Apply Aloe gel to make your hair shiny and full of volume. This also stops dandruff and control hair fall. Here is how you can apply aloe vera gel on your hair to give it a nice appearance.
How to Take Out Gel from Leaf?
- The first step is to take out the gel from the aloe vera leaf is cutting the leave from the plant.
- Select one leaf from the aloe vera plant present in your garden that has a good volume of gel. The older leaves usually contain more amount of gel than the fresh leaves.
- Cut it from the bottom and wash it with fresh water to remove dust and soil from the surface.
- Now, take a towel and wrap the aloe vera leaf in between to remove excess water.
- It is important that you dry the leaf before extracting the gel because the presence of moisture on leaves will make it difficult to work with it.
- Slit both sides of the aloe vera leaf that has some thorn-like appearance.
- Now, hold the leave in your palm or keep it on the table and try to remove the upper layer of leaves which is green in color.
- Once you have removed the green portion from both sides, now you have fresh gel in your hand.
- To take out the gel from the leaf, gently put the knife on a gel and start rubbing it in the downward direction. You will have a fine white Aloe Vera gel at your table or in the bowl.
Blended the Gel
The Aloe Vera Gel is very sticky in nature, so if you will pick the gel from your hand, you will find that the entire gel is coming into your hand at one time. This way, you will not be able to apply the gel on your hair properly. Blending the gel in the blender will turn the gel into a fine paste and it will become easier to apply.
At this point in time, you can add a small amount of coconut oil or olive oil in the gel if you want. Adding oil to the gel will add more moisture and easy to apply. If you have long hairs, make sure that you collect enough amount of Aloe Vera gel as hair absorbs the gel quickly and in a good amount.
Apply Gel in Hair
Now when you have prepared the fine paste of Aloe Vera gel, take out in a bowl and start applying it on your hair.
- First, expose your scalp by your hand and apply the gel on the scalp.
- Gradually take the gel to the tip of your hair. Apply the gel properly and cover every portion of the hair.
- You can also take the help of a brush to apply the gel on hair. If you are doing it on your own, keep a mirror in front of you so that you can check if any portion of hair has been left.
- It is better to take assistance from your friend or family member to apply this gel as it is more convenient and quick. After you have applied the gel on your entire hair make a bun at the top of your head and put leftover gel over the bun.
- Sit and relax for a few hours and let the gel get absorbed by your hair. Your hairs will absorb this mix in 1 to 2 hours after applying it.
Clean your Hairs
Once your hair is dry and the gel has been absorbed properly, it is time to clean the hairs with water.
- First, open the bun and rinse the hair with fresh water.
- Use a mild shampoo to remove the oil from hair. If you have not mixed any oil in the gel you can directly wash the hair with warm water and if you want, you can use a mild shampoo to clean your hair.
- Now, let your hair get dry. After your hair gets dry, you will find the new smoothness in your hair. The regular uses of aloe vera gel on hair improve its appearance and add volume in it.
Can we apply aloe vera directly on hair?
How do I use raw aloe vera on my hair?
Does aloe vera help hair grow?
Aloe vera promotes healthy hair growth thanks to a special enzyme found in aloe called proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes effectively break down deceased skin cells on the scalp that may clog hair follicles.

How long do you leave fresh aloe on your hair?
Is there any side effects of aloe vera on hair?
Can aloe vera regrow lost hair?
Can we apply aloe vera on face daily?
What happens if you use aloe vera on your face everyday?

What are the side effects of aloe vera?
- blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
- Burning and itching of the skin (infrequent)
- Stomach pain and cramps (high doses)
- Diarrhea, kidney problems, blood in the urine, low potassium, muscle weakness, weight loss, and heart disturbances (long-term use at high doses)
- Liver problems (rare)
What can you do with fresh aloe vera?
How do you store fresh aloe vera?
- If you only do one thing: Keep it cool.
- Use an airtight container.
- Keep it safe from light damage with non-clear containers.
- For longer shelf life, freeze the gel into ice cubes.
- Trim the leaf, cube the flesh, then freeze.
How long does fresh aloe vera gel keep?
Prepared aloe vera gel without added vitamin C or E can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week. However, adding one or both of the vitamins significantly increases the shelf life to up to 2 months in the refrigerator.
Is the yellow liquid in aloe vera poisonous?
Which part of Aloe vera is poisonous?
How do I know if my aloe vera plant is bad?
- Discoloration. If you store aloe vera leaves at room temperature without added protection, the leaves will lose their usual green color and begin to spoil.
- Foul odor.
- Drying up or becoming moldy.
How do you use aloe vera as a face mask?

In Act II scene 1 of Molière's 1668 comedy Amphitryon, the servant Sosie is trying to explain to his master Amphitryon that he has seen his doppelgänger but Amphitryon refuses to believe him, here is the extract:
Oui, moi : non pas le moi d'ici,
Mais le moi du logis, qui frappe comme quatre.
Te confonde le Ciel de me parler ainsi!
I don't understand what Amphitryon is trying to convey. Is he saying that he wishes Sosie to be humiliated in front of the Heavens for talking to his master in a such a manner? He's using subjunctive so it's similar to "May God have mercy on me" and "Te" is the object so it could be "May the Heavens humiliate you". The sentence doesn't start with "Que" so it's quite confusing.
Also, my teacher says that exclamation point and the use of "confondre" means that Amphitryon hopes for an irrefutable conclusion in the form of blackmail. But since I don't understand the sentence, I don't understand how the explanation works either.

Interment of Ashes
There are two types of ashes interment, wild flower meadow and woodland.
- Wild flower meadow. These are an open meadow area where wild flowers are encouraged. A memorial tree can be planted close to the meadow are but not on the actual interment site. You can reserve an adjacent plot to the recently interred in the wild flower meadow. The site is marked with a grave plaque
- Woodland. The ashes are placed beneath the tree when it is planted. We plant bare-root trees between November and February, so ashes interments beneath trees can only take place during this time. You cannot reserve an adjacent plot to the recently interred in the woodland. The site is marked with a tree plaque.
Should I choose a Woodland or Meadow interment ?
If you wish to pre purchase a plot next to a family member, this is only available in the meadow area. We can reserve adjacent plots at the time of the first interment.
If you wish to have a tree planted directly with the ashes interment, this is a woodland interment.
You can book an woodland ashes interment at any time of the year, once the order has been received we will contact you with an appointment time from mid-November onwards.
All our ashes interments are carried out between Monday- Friday, unfortunately we are unable to offer weekend appointments.
Ashes can be interred in eco- friendly containers such as wicker, willow or cardboard, they can also be placed loose in the prepared site. The scattering of ashes is not permitted as this would adversely affect the condition of the topsoil.

Taking hay fever tablets could land you with a huge fine and a driving ban.
Hay fever sufferers taking medicines used to treat the condition can suffer side-affects such as reduced vision, hearing and reaction times and could land you with a criminal record if you're in an accident.
Over-the-counter medication such as hay fever relief is covered under the same law as cocaine and cannabis that prohibits driving with drugs in your body if they impair your ability.
The offence carries a minimum one year driving ban and unlimited fine.
In serious cases you could be landed with a prison term and the criminal offence stays on your driving licence for 11 years.
Road Safety and breakdown organisation GEM Motoring Assist is warning hay fever sufferers to check their medicines carefully before getting behind the wheel, and to be aware of the possible effects these drugs can have on their driving.
Road safety officer Neil Worth said: "Some medicines, including those used to treat hay fever, can have an effect on your ability to drive safely. They can affect your vision, your hearing, your reaction time, your perception of risk and your ability to carry out a variety of tasks.
"You may feel sleepy, sick, dizzy or unable to move quickly. Your vision may be blurred, and you may also find it hard to focus or pay attention. Symptoms like this make you much more likely to be involved in a collision.
"The same road traffic laws apply to therapeutic drugs as to illicit substances, so if your driving is impaired and you cause a collision, you risk prosecution and the loss of your licence."
The organisation has put together a safety checklist for any driver likely to need a hay fever medicine:
- Ask your doctor or pharmacist if a medicine could affect your ability to drive. Be particularly careful if you are using a medicine for the first time.
- If you do experience potentially dangerous side effects from a medicine, don't drive. Organise a taxi or a lift from a friend if you need to travel.
- If you find a particular medicine is making you sleepy, consider asking if there is a non-sedating alternative available.
- It's not just prescription medicines that can cause drowsiness and other potentially dangerous side-effects. So, check with your pharmacist if you plan to use an over-the-counter drug.
- If you're unsure about the warning given on the medicine you're using, ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any risks… before you drive anywhere.

Cross-correlation clarifies the relationships between PID control loops. With accurate measurement of process signals, loops can be compared against each other using a time-shift to identify those loops that are correlated. The resulting detail indicates whether one loop leads or lags another, and it enables production staff to quickly zoom in on the source of control loop performance issues.
PlantESP's correlation matrix graphically displays the many relationships on either a unit operation or plant-wide basis. Its use of color-coding provides a clear indication of leading loops that are upstream in the process (Red) versus lagging loops located downstream (Blue). PlantESP also specifies the timing of that relationship.
PlantESP makes it easy to switch from one advanced forensic tool to another. Control loops selected in the Cross-Correlation matrix can be evaluated in the Power Spectrum viewer with the touch of a button.

A case-control study on Alzheimer's disease and exposure to anesthesia
- First Online:
A retrospective hospital-based case-control study was performed with the aim to evaluate the association between exposure to anesthesia and Alzheimer's disease (AD). A total of 115 AD patients, 230 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and 230 patients with non-degenerative neurological disease were studied. Each AD case was matched for sex, age (±3 years) and geographic area of residence with four controls (2 PD patients and 2 with other neurological disease). Information about exposure to general anesthesia and other variables was gathered through hospital records. No associations were found between the risk of AD and the exposure to anesthesia in the 1 and 5 years preceding disease onset, nor between the risk of AD and the number of surgical operations. A significant difference was observed between the mean age of AD patients and controls undergoing surgical procedures. The present study reveals a lack of association between exposure to general anesthesia and AD. Prospective epidemiological studies are needed in order to investigate levels of exposure to anesthesia, as well as any possible relationships between anesthetic exposure and genetic factors (e. g. APOEɛ4 genotype).

verticalTicks.add(new NumberTickUnit(1));
verticalTicks.add(new NumberTickUnit(2));
verticalTicks.add(new NumberTickUnit(5));
verticalTicks.add(new NumberTickUnit(10));
The chart engine should always pick the smallest tick unit that does not cause the ticks to overlap. Using this code your chart should hopefully place ticks at every value or every 2 values.

Hello,thank you for the reply,I'am generating this chart without coding using jasperReport and iReport,I'am creating the chart using ireport and then I pass my parameter throw my code using jasperReport to the report – rym Aug 18 '11 at 9:34
_USER_: You do not need to create your chart programmatically, just set the 'Customizer Class' property of the chart in iReport. As long as your customizer class is on the classpath, the method will be called automatically during the report generation. All the other chart options will be just as you designed them in iReport. – GenericJon Aug 18 '11 at 13:10

text: Link-adaptive regeneration (LAR) is a novel relaying strategy other than decode-and-forward (DF) or amplify-and-forward (AF) in user cooperative communications. Requiring simple channel state information (CSI) of both the source-relay and the relay-destination links, LAR has been shown to achieve full diversity using coherent modulations. In this paper, we generalize the idea of LAR into differential and non-coherent cooperative transmissions, which do not require CSI at either relays or destination. We prove that full spatial diversity gain can still be achieved in such systems, without incurring the overhead of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) codes. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme is universally applicable to multi-branch and multi-hop cooperation regardless of the constellation size and outperforms existing alternatives.

Accelerometer Maximum Cable Length Calculator
By Peter Eitnier, Senior Application Engineer
 - When cables between the power supply and the accelerometer are short, less than 100 feet or 30 meters, circuit capacitance usually has no significant effect on the vibration data signals.
 - Long cables may introduce sufficient capacitance into the sensor circuit to allow vibration signal distortion and produce spurious signals.
 - Download Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies' cable length calculator to determine the maximum cable length between the accelerometer and power supply to avoid signal distortion.
Industrial piezoelectric accelerometers are typically voltage mode devices, meaning they produce an Alternating Current (AC) output voltage relative to the vibration signal being measured. This vibration signal voltage is subject to all the limits of AC signals and is affected by the capacitance in AC circuits.
Long cable runs create a capacitive load on the output of the vibration sensor's amplifier. Amplifiers can sink fairly large amounts of current but cannot provide an indefinite amount of current for driving capacitance. When the current required to drive the cable is insufficient, the signal becomes distorted, and harmonics are generated. This could lead to vibration signals being misinterpreted as having strong harmonic components when they, in fact, do not.
When cable capacitance increases, either the constant current value must increase, or the maximum usable frequency must decrease to keep the equation in balance and avoid signal distortion.
Example: A vibration practitioner uses an accelerometer with a 100 mV/g sensitivity; measures vibration at up to 50 g levels (50g x 100 mV/g = 5 Volts); powers the accelerometer with a 4 mA constant-current source; and wants to measure signals at 10,000 Hz. How long could the cable be?
Starting at the 10,000 Hz location on the x-axis, move up the y-axis to the 4 mA line. At that point, the user could run up to 300 feet of cable and make reliable vibration measurements.
Wilcoxon's downloadable Excel Accelerometer Maximum Cable Length Calculator will help you perform these calculations for your vibration monitoring installation.
For more information, the equations behind the calculator, and cabling installation techniques for accelerometers, read Wilcoxon's Tech Note 22: Vibration sensor wiring and cabling. It delves into powering requirements, high temperature applications, eliminating EMI, avoiding ground loops, cable types, cable anchoring and more.

To determine the correct boiler size for your needs, you will need to answer the following questions:
- What is the square footage of your commercial space?
- How many people will be using your commercial space?
- How much hot water do you need?
- What is the climate in your area?
Once you have answered these questions, you can use Ideal Heat Solutions' boiler sizing calculator to determine the correct boiler size for your needs.
Here are some examples of boiler sizes for different commercial spaces:
- A small cafe with 100 square feet and 10 people: A 250kW boiler would be sufficient.
- A medium-sized restaurant with 500 square feet and 50 people: A 500kW boiler would be sufficient.
- A large hotel with 1000 square feet and 100 people: A 1000kW boiler would be sufficient.
It is important to note that these are just examples, and the actual boiler size that you need will depend on your specific needs. If you are unsure which boiler size to get, it is best to consult with a qualified HVAC contractor. They can assess your needs and recommend the best boiler size for your commercial space.

The battery pack is the core energy source of new energy vehicles, which provides driving power for the whole vehicle. In order to protect the internal components of the battery pack from dust, rain and other erosion, the sealing of the battery pack must reach a certain dust-proof and waterproof level. According to the requirements of the industry on the protection level of electrical equipment shell, the protection level of the battery pack in terms of dust prevention and waterproof should generally reach IP67 or IP68. Therefore, manufacturers generally design for the waterproof of the battery pack, and the waterproof sealing shell materials generally used include: rubber sealing ring, sealant and foam tape, etc. But no matter what kind of material is used, it is also very important to test the waterproof of battery pack.
There are a variety of waterproof test methods for battery packs. This time, Harris technology will bring you the waterproof test of new energy vehicle battery packs. I hope it can help you.
1、 Process display of new energy vehicle battery pack
The sealing of new energy vehicle battery pack needs to cooperate with the structure of the battery pack box and the sealing ring. The whole sealing of the battery box needs to be realized through laser splicing, which belongs to the structural sealing. In addition, the battery pack also uses sealing aids such as sealing rings or sealants to help form a more sealed structure.
New energy vehicle battery pack
2、 Problems of poor waterproof sealing of battery pack for new energy vehicles
1. The cracking of the sealing glue between the top cover and the bottom groove results in poor sealing performance, which easily leads to the infiltration of external liquid and pollutes the working environment of the battery.
2. Leakage of safety valve due to sealing problem may cause damage to other parts.
3. The poor sealing results in acid leakage at the terminals, affecting the wires of the battery car and causing the circuit to burn out.
4. The failure of sealing leads to the loss of capacitance and the decrease of battery life and safety.
3、 Difficulties and key points of new energy vehicle battery pack
1. The appearance of new energy vehicle battery pack is fully wrapped with waterproof material, which is strong in sealing and large in volume, which is not conducive to the use of mold for fully enclosed detection;
Waterproof tester for battery pack of new energy vehicle
2. It is necessary to realize non-destructive testing to avoid substantial damage to the tested products;
4、 New energy vehicle battery pack testing difficulties breakthrough and testing points display
As the volume of new energy vehicle battery pack is too large, it is not suitable to carry out fully enclosed detection, so Harris technology adopts direct detection. There is a special pipe for conveying detection gas on the instrument. During detection, the pipe is connected with the connecting pipe of new energy vehicle battery pack, which is convenient and fast;
Waterproof test of new energy vehicle battery pack
In addition, when the device detects, a certain volume of dry and impurity free gas will be filled into the cavity of the battery pack, and then the compressed air supply will be cut off, and the pressure will be stabilized for a period of time. After a given measurement time, the tiny change of air pressure in the detection environment will be monitored. The sensor will send this information to the detection system, and finally through a series of calculations, the leakage value of the gas can be obtained, and the waterproof performance and IP waterproof grade of the battery pack can be detected according to the leakage value.

Spatio-temporal distribution of gross mercury contents in the bottom sediments of small lakes of the taiga zone
Keywords:bottom sediment of small lake, Hg, geochemistry, areas of Siberia (north-south, west-east) and the southeastern edge of the Baltic Shield
The results of the study of the gross mercury content in the bottom sediments of small lakes in the taiga zone (humid sedimentogenesis) are summarized. It is shown that mercury concentrations in organomineral sediments correspond mainly to its contents in rocks of the upper continental crust (background values). In bottom sediments, mercury is adsorbed by organic matter, biogenic silica and layered silicates. The regularities of the vertical distribution of gross mercury in stratified sections of bottom sediments of lakes of the taiga zone, geographically located in different regions of Siberia and on the southeastern edge of the Baltic Shield, have been established.

Abstract
Large-scale atomistic simulations using the reactive force field approach are implemented to investigate the thermomechanical properties of fluorinated graphene (FG). A set of parameters for the reactive force field potential optimized to reproduce key quantum mechanical properties of relevant carbon-fluorine cluster systems are presented. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the thermal rippling behavior of FG and its mechanical properties and compare them with graphene, graphane and a sheet of boron nitride. The mean square value of the height fluctuations < h(2)> and the height-height correlation function H(q) for different system sizes and temperatures show that FG is an unrippled system in contrast to the thermal rippling behavior of graphene. The effective Young's modulus of a flake of fluorinated graphene is obtained to be 273 N/m and 250 N/m for a flake of FG under uniaxial strain along armchair and zigzag directions, respectively.

The most common reasons for school administrators to avoid lead in water testing is the fear of the unknown.
The 2 most commonly sited reasons are:
- Fear that Lead is discovered
- Fear of high costs of remediation
These fears are legitimate and understandable. Many schools face limited budgets and need to be wise and make due with the funding that is available to them.
However, when you compare these 2 reasons with the downsides of NOT testing, they seem quite trivial.
These downsides include:
- Lead is having mental and physical impacts on your student's health
- Refusing to test opens yourself up to a tarnished reputation within the community
- Lead in drinking water is a hot button topic in the media and is heavily reported in the media.
School administrators are FAR better off testing for lead, identifying any problems and fixing them. In this scenario, even if lead is discovered and remediated the school is deemed a hero by parents, faculty, the community and the media.
By ignoring the need to test, school administrators put themselves in an unnecessarily difficult situation.

Using the IoT Dashboard App
Using the steps described here, you can develop an app that allows you to get sensor data over MQTT, plot the data in POI details dialogs and show the ones that have exceeded an adjustable threshold. Default POIs can be used alongside custom sensor POIs.
This example has three separate modules that operate individually: The frontend, MQTT broker and the backend.
The frontend is built using the NavVis IVION API. The backend uses Node.js and simulates the sensors. Both modules are written with TypeScript. MQTT broker is a Docker container with RabbitMQ MQTT Broker installed.
To use the IoT Dashboard App, download the sample app.
Backend
The backend is a simple Node.js app that simulates the sensors.
TemperatureSensor and PressureSensor classes represents a sensor instance. They generate pseudo-realistic sensory data that is generated within a range. When the data is generated, it is published to the corresponding MQTT topic. (/iot/temperature/{sensor_id} or iot/pressure/{sensor_id}).
The backend application also exposes several endpoints. /temperature/{sensor_id} lists a temperature sensor's historical data. /pressure/{sensor_id} lists a pressure sensor's historical data.
The sensor ids can be listed using /temperature/ or /pressure/ endpoints.
You can run the backend using the following commands in the iot-dashboard-backend folder:
npm install
npm start
Setting up MQTT Broker
MQTT Broker is a standard Docker container with RabbitMQ MQTT broker installed.
Follow these steps to set up MQTT Broker:
Note: The broker needs to be configured to support MQTT over WebSockets. Make sure ports 1883 and 15675 are accessible.
 1. Create the container:
 sudo docker run --hostname navvis-rabbitmq --name navvis-rabbitmq -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 -p 1883:1883 -p 15675:15675 -td rabbitmq:3
 2. Enter the container terminal:
 sudo docker exec -it navvis-rabbitmq bash
 3. Enable required plugins:
 rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
 rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_web_mqtt
 4. Exit the container terminal:
 exit
 5. Create a new file named rabbitmq.conf.
 loopback_users.guest = false
 listeners.tcp.default = 5672
 management.tcp.port = 15672
 mqtt.listeners.tcp.default = 1883
 ## Default MQTT with TLS port is 8883
 # mqtt.listeners.ssl.default = 8883
 # anonymous connections, if allowed, will use the default
 # credentials specified here
 mqtt.allow_anonymous = true
 mqtt.default_user = guest
 mqtt.default_pass = guest
 mqtt.vhost = /
 mqtt.exchange = amq.topic
 # 24 hours by default
 mqtt.subscription_ttl = 86400000
 mqtt.prefetch = 10
 6. Replace the config file in the container with the new config file:
 sudo docker cp rabbitmq.conf navvis-rabbitmq:/etc/rabbitmq/
Frontend
The frontend module is responsible for getting sensor data via MQTT, plotting the data in POI details dialogs and showing the ones that have exceeded an adjustable threshold.
POIs that exceed a certain threshold will enter alert mode. Their icon will change and they will be displayed in the site menu dashboard.
This is accomplished by defining new POI groups and types. In this case Temperature is the POI group and Temperature Normal and Temperature Alert are the types that belong to the group.
POIs that have a sensor attached to them switch to the Alert POI type when the sensor exceeds a certain threshold value. They will return back to the Normal POI type when the sensor no longer exceeds the threshold.
Default POIs can be used alongside custom sensor POIs.
What the frontend does can be summarized as follows:
 1. Find all nearby POIs that have a sensor attached to them.
 2. Subscribe to the MQTT topics of the nearby POIs.
 3. Update the POIs according to the incoming data.
 4. Periodically update the site menu dashboard with POIs that have exceeded their threshold values.
The app contains reusable components. The three main components are: PoiChart, PoiConfigurationSidebarMenuDashboard. It also has several helper services: PoiHelperServiceSensorDataHelperServiceToggleablePoiService and CommunicationService.
Running the Frontend
Follow these steps to run the frontend:
While NavVis IVION is working in the background go to the iot-dashboard-app folder and run:
npm install
npm run serve
Components
The app has three main components (PoiChartPoiConfigurationSidebarMenuDashboard) and an abstract parent class PoiDialogModule.
PoiChart
PoiChart is a class that contains all the functions that are needed to create and append a chart to a POI dialog. It extends the parent class PoiDialogModule.
Its main function drawChart receives three parameters.
// ./src/js/components/poi-chart/PoiChart.ts
...
public drawChart(chartData: FormattedSensorDatum[], threshold: number, yDomain: number[]): void
...
 - chartData is the historical data of the current POI. It is listed by the backend using /temperature/{sensor_id} or /pressure/{sensor_id} endpoints and formatted using SensorDataHelperService.
 - threshold is a number that is used to draw the threshold line in the chart.
 - yDomain is the range for which the chart will be drawn. For example, if the yDomain is [10,100] the chart will have a minimum value of 10 and a maximum value of 100 on the y-axis.
The example below shows how to use PoiChart.
// ./src/js/index.ts
...
this.poiChart.drawChart(this.historicalData, this.threshold, this.SENSOR_TYPES[type].range);
...
PoiConfiguration
PoiConfiguration is a class that appends a configuration panel with various input fields to the POI dialog. It extends the parent class PoiDialogModule.
Its main function addToDialog receives one parameter.
// ./src/js/components/poi-configuration/PoiConfiguration.ts
...
public addToDialog(configs: Configuration): InputBoxesDictionary
...
configs is the configuration template that is used to define the input fields.
// ./src/js/components/poi-configuration/PoiConfiguration.ts
...
export type Configuration = {
[key: string]: {
label: string,
type: ConfigsType,
min?: number,
max?: number,
options?: HTMLOptionElement[],
value: number
};
}
...
The addToDialog function returns a dictionary of HTMLElement representing the input field boxes. The key of each entry corresponds to the key of the Configuration object.
The example below shows how to use PoiConfiguration.
// ./src/js/index.ts
...
const configs: Configuration = {};
configs["threshold"] = {
label: "Threshold",
type: ConfigsType.SLIDER,
min: this.SENSOR_TYPES[poiGroup].range[0],
max: this.SENSOR_TYPES[poiGroup].range[1],
value: customData.threshold || this.SENSOR_TYPES[poiGroup].threshold
};
configs["sensorId"] = {
label: "Sensor ID",
type: ConfigsType.DROPDOWN,
options: options,
value: customData.sensorId || 0
};
const inputBoxes = this.poiConfiguration.addToDialog(configs);
...
SidebarMenuDashboard
SidebarMenuDashboard is a class that contains all the functions needed to create a site menu sensor dashboard.
Note: Learn more about adding custom menu items to the site menu here.
Its main function refreshItems receives one parameter.
// ./src/js/components/sidebar-menu-dashboard/SidebarMenuDashboard.ts
...
public refreshItems(pois: PoiInterface[]): void
...
pois is the PoiInterface array that will be shown in the site menu.
// ./src/js/index.ts
...
const poisOnAlert: PoiI

The Impact Of Right-To-Work Laws On Interstate Cost Of Living
Type of Degreethesis
MetadataShow full item record
The impact of right-to-work laws on cost of living differentials is a highly controversial topic due to its possible political implications. This study seeks to investigate the determinants of geographic cost of living in the case of the United States on a state by state basis, focusing on the impact of right-to-work laws. This study hopes to offer some insight into the advantages or disadvantages of a state's adopting a right-to-work law from the point of the state's cost of living. It is intuitive that the passage of right-to-work laws dramatically influences the presence of unionized workers, and it has been suggested that the degree of unionization has a direct relationship with the overall cost of living (Cebula and Toma, 2008). After presenting the history, past literature, and legislation relating to the determinants of cost of living and right-to-work laws, this study employs a reduced form estimation methodology along with a multiplicative heteroscedasticity approach to show that right-to-work laws have an impact on the overall cost of living in a state. After analysis of the empirical results it was concluded that right-to-work laws have a negative effect on a state's cost of living, thus decreasing a state's cost of living.

Teach The Facts, a group of Montgomery County, Maryland, parents and educators, offers a run-down on PFOX ex-gay literature that was distributed last week to local high-school students. TTF's main points:
- The PFOX literature falsely claims that PFOX promotes tolerance, but PFOX's web site is loaded with literature opposing tolerance.
- The PFOX literature illogically asserts that ex-gay self-denial, self-deception, and failure serve as proof that GLBT youth can and should seek help from unlicensed ex-gay therapists and political groups.
- The PFOX literature falsely insinuates that ex-gay activists who seek to silence and suppress gay students support self-determination, while advocates for academic freedom, tolerance, learning, and nonviolence oppose self-determination and happiness.

Hidden Operating Space: Your Car and Space Management
Hide and seek is fun game, right? Not so fun when there's a car involved. Not knowing what could be hiding in the area around your car is dangerous. That's why it's important to learn about Hidden Operating Space. Wait whaaa? Shhh. Calm yourself sweet child. We'll explain. Driver safety is one of our top concerns in our driving courses, after all.
Hidden Operating Space refers to the area around your car that's impossible to see while you're sitting in the driver's seat. When you're taking your driving lessons, take a moment to recognize the spaces around your car that you don't have visual access to. Think of it as an invisible bubble engulfing your car. Like this:
Hidden Operating Space can vary depending on the size of your car. A stretch limo has a biggggg operating space. A smart car has a teensy tiny operating space. Managing space around your car is crucial for defensive driving and for safe driving when you're behind the wheel.
Until we have super effective self driving cars, you'll have to be aware of this little space cushion around your car. It doesn't matter if you're in an SUV or Prius, you need to monitor your Hidden Operating Space while the car is in motion as well as when it's in park. Whether you're sitting still, backing up, turning left or right, changing lanes or simply driving forward, there's always a chance that something could be near your car's Hidden Operating Space. Here are some things that could be playing hide and seek in your vehicle's operating space.
- Pets and other animals. Don't hit Mittens! For the love of god don't hit Mittens.
- Children. Please don't hit the children. They lurk in the darkness, behind your parking spaces when you're out and about, in your nightmares. Nowhere is safe… Just kidding, kids are pretty cute. Which is why you need to be extra careful and keep an eye out for them.
- Bikes and toys. Less important, but running over a Super Soaker could do some serious damage to your car (and make your little brother cry).
That's why it's crucial to look around your car before you get in and start driving. You know ol' Mittens likes to take his naps in the shade.
Make sure to check out the rest of our safe driving videos for more tips to keep you in control on the road!
