Programmatic Domains
Achieving agricultural, food, economic, and ecosystem sustainability amid changing political, economic, and environmental climates is inherently a multi-system problem that can be a moving target. The science of agricultural sustainability for landscape-level challenges will require a multi-disciplinary and multi-scale approach involving innovations in integrated modeling, data science, and visualization.
SAFES establishes an infrastructure of four programmatic domains to address key challenges that impact society within the interconnected contexts of agriculture, food, watersheds, natural resources, the economy, and urban/rural interfaces. These domains of expertise are the scaffold that support the establishment and endurance of areas of expertise, fortifying the University's capacity to effectively respond and provide solutions to emergent issues such as disruption, resilience, regeneration, biodiversity, optimizing ecosystems services, and innovative stakeholder engagement, among others.
The data domain will create a capacity of expertise in the theory and methods of data acquisition and analysis. This domain will identify data sources that should be available to researchers at Penn State and work to make these resources easily accessible to the Penn State research community. The data domain will also identify and develop state of the art techniques to collect original data (sensor technology) and mine data (machine learning or artificial intelligence) for important new insights relevant to multisystem dynamics and landscape scale interactions.
The models domain will create a capacity of expertise in coupling and translating information across biophysical and socioeconomic models. This framework builds on strengths at Penn State in the development and use of computational models and tools for research and expands this expertise to integrate across models and collaborate across modeling teams and platforms. The model domain will focus on building data and computational tools to help facilitate coupling and translation across individual models.
The discovery domain will create a capacity of expertise in making acquired data and interoperable models accessible to academic and non-academic audiences within and beyond the university. This domain builds strength in specialized translations (visual, technical, verbal, etc.) that can effectively communicate the knowledge and thus extend the societal benefits of the research, evaluation of new technologies, and design of communications around policy options and business management solutions. The discovery domain builds on a strong and unique tradition in the college for "useand need-inspired" research. The discovery domain will be a "switchboard" for connecting researchers to resources and building synergies across the University to leverage talent and skill within and especially beyond the college.
Landscape-Level Interactions
The landscape-scale interactions domain will build a capacity of expertise in understanding how interactions occur across scales, which is critical to improving our predictability of how a system at one spatial scale will be influenced by an impact occurring at a different spatial scale. This framework may be understood as a cross-cutting research domain that will address fundamental challenges most modelers and data scientists face when attempting to understand multisystem dynamics; namely, how are the different components in the system integrated, and importantly how do these dynamics interact across different landscape scales.

I am working on a program that uses both OpenCV and GDAL to perform different tasks. OpenCV stores its images as numpy arrays. I would like to be able to go directly from this numpy array to a dataset object without having to save the image to the file system and then reopen it again in GDAL. Right now, I have to do this for each image:
import cv2
import numpy as np
from osgeo import gdal
img = cv2.imread("image.png", flags=-1)
# modify the image
cv2.imwrite("output.png", img)
ds = gdal.Open("output.png")
# do stuff with GDAL
The issue is that the cv2.imwrite step is very time consuming, especially since I'm doing it for a lot of images.
My question is this: is there a way to get a dataset from a numpy array directly?
Something like this:
import cv2
import numpy as np
from osgeo import gdal
img = cv2.imread("image.png", flags=-1)
# modify the image
ds = gdal.datasetFromArray(img)
# do stuff with GDAL
 - A lot of this depends on what you understand as "do stuff with GDAL". Are you reprojecting the data or something similar? You you can create a GDAL dataset, do your manipulations and in the end write the array into it. See for instance: gis.stackexchange.com/questions/37238/… – Kersten Sep 20 '17 at 7:22

You could use the gdal_array.OpenArray() function, where ds is a GDAL dataset:
import cv2
import numpy as np
from osgeo import gdal
from osgeo import gdal_array
img = cv2.imread("image.png", flags=-1)
# modify the image
ds = gdal_array.OpenArray(img)

Rovigo stands on the low ground known as Polesine and on the Adigetto Canal. The comune of Rovigo extends between the rivers Adige and Canal Bianco, 40 km W of the Adriatic Sea, except the frazione of Fenil del Turco that extends south of the Canal Bianco.
Polesine is the name of the low ground between the lower courses of the rivers Adige and Po and the sea; the derivation of the name is much discussed, generally applied only to the province of Rovigo, but is sometimes extended to the neighborhood of Adria and Ferrara.
Rovigo appears to be first mentioned in a document from Ravenna dating April 24, 838; the origin of the name is uncertain. In 920 it was selected as his temporary residence by the bishop of Adria, Paolo Cattaneo, on the destruction of his city by the Hungarian ravagers; the fortifications started by him were already finished in 945. The viscounts of Rovigo built a line of brick walls in the 1130s in the name of the House of Este. The current Torre Donŕ is a remnant of the castle built some time in between.
In 1194 Rovigo became a formal possession of Azzo VI d'Este, duke of Ferrara, who took the title of conte of Rovigo. The Este authority ended in 1482, when the Venetians took the place by siege and retained possession of it by the peace of 1484. Although the Este recovered the city during the War of the League of Cambrai, the Venetians, returning in 1514, retained possession till the French Revolution. In 1806 Napoleon I Bonaparte created it a duché grand-fief for general Anne Jean Marie René Savary. The Austrians in 1815 created it a royal city.
Rovigo was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. The architecture of the Rovigo bears the stamp both of Venetian and of Ferrarese influence.

The direct interface of fluid power components to digital computers requires electrohydraulic devices which can be actuated by a digital signal. High speed solenoid valves are devices ideally suited for this kind of application due to their on/off characteristics. In the last two decades, considerable research has been focused on developing fast responding on/off valves and this research has achieved some success. The fastest responding valves that have been reported are usually single stage and can only handle low flow rates. Two stage valves which can accommodate high flow rates have been developed, but they are either slow in responding or complicated in construction.
In this paper, the feasibility of a rotary based, single stage, fast responding digital valve is considered. The feasibility study consisted of developing a nonlinear model of the valve from which transient and steady state responses were simulated. Based on these simulation studies, a prototype valve was designed and fabricated. The configuration of the valve is introduced in this paper. Some preliminary experimental results of the testing of this valve are presented.

I am currently trying to retrieve a unique device identifier. Here is my code:

How can I retrieve the size of my string? I also tried to use, but result is the same.

Depending on what you are using it for, you should be aware that the id will change, possibly frequently on some devices. You should probably use a subset of the constituent components in the id if you need to (more) reliably identify the device again later. Docs here: – Endophage Nov 9 '12 at 21:14

I can't try to replicate what you're doing at the moment, but you might try reading it as bytes into array like this:
var array = new Array(;
And then convert the array to a string for the identifier.
See these posts for examples:

Your solution works perfectly. Thanks for your help, even if I still can't get the reason why they return a IBuffer object instead of a simple string. But sure they got one. ;) – Jonathan Petitcolas Aug 22 '12 at 8:36

Perform isotropic reoreientational eigenmode dynamics analysis using given IRED vectors.
ired [relax freq [NHdist ]] [order ] tstep tcorr out [norm] [drct] modes [name ] [ds2matrix ]
[relax freq [NHdist ]] Should only be used when ired vectors represent N-H bonds; calculate correlation times tm for each eigenmode and relaxation rates and NOEs for each N-H vector. 'freq ' (required) is the Lamor frequency of the measurement. 'NHdist ' specifies the length of the NH bond in Angstroms (default is 1.02).
order Order of the Legendre polynomials to use when calculating spherical harmonics (default 2).
tstep Time between snapshots in ps (default 1.0).
tcorr Maximum time to calculate correlation functions for in ps (default 10000.0).
out Name of file to write output to.
[norm] Normalize all correlation functions, i.e., Cl(t = 0) = Pl(t = 0) = 1:0.
[drct] Use the direct method to calculate correlations instead of FFT; this will be much slower.
modes Name of previously calculated eigenmodes corresponding to IRED vectors.
[name ] Output data set name.
[ds2matrix ] If specified, write full delta*S^2 matrix (# IRED vector rows by # eigenmodes columns) to .

Peform IRED[reference] analysis on previously defined IRED vectors (see vector ired) using eigenmodes calculated from those vectors with a previous 'diagmatrix' command. The number of defined IRED vectors should match the number of eigenmodes calculated. Autocorrelation functions for each mode and the corresponding correlation time tm will be written to filename.cmt. Autocorrelation functions for each vector will be written to filename.cjt.
Relaxation rates and NOEs for each N-H vector will be written to or added to the the end of the standard output. For the calculation of tm the normalized correlation functions and only the first third of the analyzed time steps will be used. For further information on the convergence of correlation functions see reference.
Example of IRED in Cpptraj
In cpptraj, IRED analysis[566] can now be performed in one pass (as opposed to the two passes previously required in ptraj). First, IRED vectors are defined (in this case for N-H bonds) and an IRED matrix is calculated and analyzed. The IRED vectors are then projected onto the calculated IRED eigenvectors in the ired analysis command to calculate the time correlation functions. If the parameter order is specified, order parameters based
on IRED are calculated. By specifying the relax parameter, relaxation rates and NOEs can be obtained for each N-H vector. Note that the order of the IRED matrix should be the same as the one specified for IRED analysis.

This paper describes image processing methods for automatic spotted microarray image analysis. Automatic gridding is important to achieve constant data quality and is, therefore, especially interesting for large-scale experiments as well as for integration of microarray expression data from different sources. We propose a Markov random field (MRF) based approach to high-level grid segmentation, which is robust to common problems encountered with array images and does not require calibration. We also propose an active contour method for single-spot segmentation. Active contour models describe objects in images by properties of their boundaries. Both MRFs and active contour models have been used in various other computer vision applications. The traditional active contour model must be generalized for successful application to microarray spot segmentation. Our active contour model is employed for spot detection in the MRF score functions as well as for spot signal segmentation in quantitative array image analysis. An evaluation using several image series from different sources shows the robustness of our methods.

I understand that the V-Accord... :: FR-5 :: FAQ :: Support :: Roland
Q.I understand that the V-Accordion allows me to mix and match the reed sounds, something that is impossible with an acoustic accordion. Can you describe how this is done? (FR-7 / FR-5 / FR-7b / FR-5b)
A.The V-Accordion allows you to create sounds by simulating various acoustic accordion reed configurations. The following shows the reed types and combinations that can be made for the right hand (treble) and left hand (bass and chords).
 1. Treble Section (Treble Part)
 A Treble register may contain up to seven reeds tuned to different pitches ("feet"). Some common reed combinations are:
 - HMML type, used in a wide range of music styles ("Accord" resister)
 - MMM type, which produces the popular musette tone ("Musette" resister)
 - Professional-level HMMML type ("Master" resister)
 The available footages are:
 H ---upper footage (4')
 M ---middle footage (8-', 8, 8+')
 L ---lower footage (16')
 In addition to these, you can also include 2-2/3' and 5-1/3' footages that are unique to the V-Accordion. By assigning a different reed sound to each footage, new and complex sounds can be created.
 - The following table shows the available treble part sounds assigned to the treble register switches, along with their reed settings.
 - Closing the wooden resonance chamber inside an acoustic accordion allows you to attenuate the sound and make it softer. The V-Accordion provides this effect in the following two ways:
 - Individual setting on each reed --- CASSOTTO
 - Whole setting on all reeds --- SORDINA
 Volume adjustment for each reed is also provided.
 2. Bass & chord section (Bass & chord part)
 The V-Accordion provides five bass reeds and three chord reeds to choose from.

K value of the K-Slack algorithm will be increased.
Example
 - kslack(timestamp, -1l, _PHONE_)
 In the above example, the algorithm execution starts when K=0 and it gets increased up to _PHONE_. The value of the K-slack does not increase from that point onwards. Hence, this leads to lower latency compared to the version shown in the first (i.e., single parameter) example of this list. Note that the second argument is set to -1l which effectively disables the timer based draining of the internal buffer.
 - kslack(timestamp, 1000l, _PHONE_)
 The above is another variation of the third category. Here, a time-out value is specified for the second argument (i.e. 1000 ms). In this case, the K-slack algorithm buffers events until the 1000ms time period expires. The maximum K value is _PHONE_. The K-value cannot exceed the specified amount.
Syntax
<bool> kslack(<long> timestamp, <long> timeOut, <bool> expireFlag )
Extension TypeStreamProcessor
DescriptionThe fourth argument in the above syntax is a flag that indicates whether the out-of order events that appear after the expiration of the K-slack window should be discarded or not.

Goal Expectation and Efficiency
This article has been written by Constantinos Chappas (who can be followed on Twitter _USER_)
Introducing Goal Expectation
It's Sunday afternoon, you are heading home trying to catch the end of the match on TV but traffic is holding you back. By the time you get home, the final whistle was blown and you manage to catch a glimpse of the match statistics screen. Your team had 12 shots, with 8 on target yet they only drew 1-1.
"Their keeper must have played a blinder", you think to yourself. Well, possibly. But then again, maybe not. It depends on where those 12 shots were taken from.
If they were taken from way outside the box and tamely reached the opposition goal, then they don't really count for much, do they? On the other hand, if the opposition goalie had just saved 7 1-on-1s, well that's different. In effect, some shots or chances in general are worth more than others.
While discussing this with Colin Trainor (do follow him at _USER_), we realised that a shot – or a shot on target for that matter – is not an adequate metric. Some shots have a higher probability of being converted into goals whereas others a much lower one.
As a result, we came up with a metric which considers a number of important factors affecting the chance of a particular shot being scored and assigns a figure for the probability of a goal (or the shot's goal expectation) and named it ExpG. The exact calculations of ExpG will remain private as a lot of work between us has been dedicated to its creation.
ExpG and Shooting Efficiency
The reason behind the introduction of ExpG would be to provide a metric that chances / strikers / teams can be compared on. If a striker has a 25% conversion rate, that does not mean that he is a better finisher compared to someone with a 20% conversion rate. Perhaps his chances were from more favourable positions compared to the other striker's chances. Therefore unless we somehow break down the conversion rate (e.g. shots from inside/outside the area) and look at those individual figures, we would be comparing apples with oranges.
The proposed metric ExpG alleviates part of this problem. If a player, given the chances he was presented with, had an ExpG of 10.3 goals, he would be expected to score around 10 goals. If he managed to get on the scoresheet 12 times it could mean that he is an above average finisher whereas a player who only managed 12 goals while he was expected to score ExpG = 16.4 goals, would be considered as inferior.
An efficiency measure can be introduced here by dividing the number of goals a player or team has scored – excluding own goals when looking at team efficiency – by the number of goals that player or team was expected to score. An average player or team, in terms of efficiency, would have ratings equal to 1
Colin briefly introduced ExpG in his piece here and previously here so the purpose of this piece is to delve a little bit deeper and present some of our analysis and results.
Potential explanations for some of the results are offered but it has to be stressed here that this is very much work under progress therefore ExpG are always likely to be updated depending on what our research uncovers.
Shooting Efficiency Across Leagues
Without further ado, we start by looking at the shooting efficiency figures across the top divisions in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain for the 2012-2013 season. For comparison purposes we can look at the deviation of each shooting efficiency figure from 1.00.
Plot 1
Based on our measure of shooting efficiency, it would seem that players in the English league are on average more inefficient i.e. they score fewer goals (approximately 10% fewer) than what they would be expected to score given the chances they are presented with, compared to players from other leagues. Germany appears in the opposite end of the spectrum of shooting efficiency and in fact this has also been mentioned by others such as Ted Knutson in his piece here.
Not the first time the words "Germany" and "efficiency" appear in the same sentence, I guess!
One potential issue to consider here which is not taken into account in our analysis due to shortage of available data is the effect the defensive organization of a team, including the defenders' positioning or defensive pressure has on ExpG. Faced with better defenders, a striker might be less likely to score a goal compared to when he faces a team with average defensive capabilities. This could potentially be a factor explaining the below average efficiency in England and Italy as identified by Colin himself at in his article here.
Shooting Efficiency By Team
If we now turn our attention to the team level, shooting efficiency for all 98 teams in these leagues follows a reasonably symmetric and roughly Normal distribution with the majority of teams exhibiting around average efficiency.
Plot 2
For comparison purposes, league average efficiency figures have been included as dashed lines and correspond to the previous plot. A lot has been said about the Barcelona team of recent years and they excel in this metric with a shooting efficiency of 1.44. Having first accounted for a number of factors through this analysis, Barcelona's conversion of chances remains very high and while part of this may be down to the quality of strikers they possess, interestingly enough even a Messi-less Barcelona registers a shooting efficiency of 1.35. On the other hand, only 3 English teams register an above-average attacking shooting efficiency.
A different way of visualizing the results is by plotting the expected versus the actual goals per match scored by each team – having first excluded own goals. Note that the number of expected goals for a team is simply the sum of ExpG for all of their attempted shots.
Plot 3
The blue line is a simple linear regression whereas the black dashed line is the equality line i.e. when teams have scored the same amount of goals they were expected to do. The green area highlights the confidence limits for the model fit whereas the blue area presents 95% prediction limits for individual teams.
In other words, we expect approximately 5% of the number of teams to fall outside of the blue band. The fact that both lines appear very close and the model appears to be a very good fit is reassuring. It suggests that ExpG is on average a good metric or even a substitute for actual goals, because it doesn't consistently overor under-estimate the number of goals a team/player will score.
Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have actually scored a significantly higher number of goals compared to what they were expected to do, given the type of chances they were presented with whereas Everton and Manchester City have vastly underperformed in this area.
Somewhat surprising, neither Bayern Munich nor Borussia Dortmund has the second highest shooting efficiency after the Catalans. Remember that shooting efficiency is defined as the number of actual goals divided by the number of expected goals, i.e. the slope of the dashed line. So the second prize goes to … (drumroll!):
Plot 4
… Lorient! Scoring a total of 56 goals whereas given their chances, they were expected to just score 41.5 goals, registering an attacking shooting efficiency of 1.35. Intriguingly enough, all but 1 Lorient players expected to score at least 1 goal registered above average efficiency. A further look at the Top 10 teams in terms of attacking efficiency reveals no English or Italian team excelling at this measure.
Plot 5
The top ranked Italian team and 16th overall is Catania with an attacking efficiency rating of 1.144 while champions Juventus appearing in 81st place out of 98 teams with a rating of 0.843. The 3 English teams with above average efficiency are Aston Villa (ranked 27th overall with 1.055), Man Utd (ranked 32nd overall with 1.041) and Swansea (ranked 40th overall with 1.020). Other notable teams include Real Madrid (30th with 1.054), PSG (38th with 1.025), Chelsea (50th with 0.980), Arsenal (56th with 0.961) and Liverpool (79th with 0.858).
Shooting Efficiency in Defensive Terms
To win matches, a team does not only need to score goals but defend against them too. It's therefore only natural to look at the same measure (shooting efficiency) but in defensive terms.
Which were those teams that defended well enough to prevent their opponents from scoring the number of goals their chances should have allowed them to do?
Plot 6
Once again as would be expected, most of the teams have close to average figures. Numbers above 1.00 indicate teams which conceded more goals than were expected to do whereas teams which register small numbers highlight teams with defences that prevented their opposition from scoring their expected numbers.
A single French team (PSG) comes on top of this metric with a value of 0.65 which translates to 35% fewer goals conceded than what would have been expected under this analysis. Bottom of this statistic, one can find Hoffenheim who conceded 66 goals whereas based on our research the chances the opposition had would only justify conceding 43.2 goals.
Looking at the actual and expected number of goals conceded per match an interesting issue appears. The equality line between actual and expected goals does not fall within the fitted line's confidence limits. This could be down to the particular dataset (as the points only correspond to the 2012-2013 performance of these

The housing crisis is a nationwide, multi-faceted issue with numerous, complex underlying causes. Accordingly, it demands a multi-faceted response. We can and must address our housing needs while simultaneously protecting our environment. Advancing smart growth housing solutions supports Vermonters' quality of life, resilience to economic, social and environmental change, and and protects ecological systems. Smart growth allows people to more easily access jobs and services, increases transportation options, and lowers transportation costs. It also reduces municipalities' infrastructure costs, and cuts climate pollution by reducing how far people need to travel to jobs and services.
Legislative Priorities for 2023:
- Smart Growth Housing:Adopt a housing equity bill that makes it easier to develop, rent, and purchase smaller homes in downtowns and village centers, that are closer to jobs, services and affordable transportation.
- Expand funding and eligibility for downtown and village tax credits, and increase funding for the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board (VHCB) to build more smart growth housing.

This paper presents a new analytic model for the estimation of the trapping efficiency of two-stroke engines using an extremely reduced number of measured physical variables. Mainly, the model estimates the trapping efficiency according to the Ostwald diagram, to the molal concentration of carbon dioxide and oxygen at tailpipe and accordingto the mass flow of air and fuel. In order to provide a measure of effectiveness for the proposed model, a use case has been chosen. The model's effectiveness has been evaluated comparing its outcomes with the results obtained by thermo-fluid dynamic simulation of the use case on a 0D-1D commercial code, whose scavenging model has been previously validated by an extensive experimental activity. The present study shows that, for all the cases considered, the model results differ no more than 11% in absolute value from the simulated ones. In brief, the accuracy of the model allows the estimation of the trapping efficiency for two-stroke engines with reasonable confidence, reduced computational effort and time and costs lower than the currently available techniques.

Reporter gene

 A diagram of a how a reporter gene is used to study a regulatory sequence.
In molecular biology, a reporter gene (often simply reporter) is a gene that researchers attach to a regulatory sequence of another gene of interest in bacteria, cell culture, animals or plants. Certain genes are chosen as reporters because the characteristics they confer on organisms expressing them are easily identified and measured, or because they are selectable markers. Reporter genes are often used as an indication of whether a certain gene has been taken up by or expressed in the cell or organism population.
Contents
 Common reporter genes
To introduce a reporter gene into an organism, scientists place the reporter gene and the gene of interest in the same DNA construct to be inserted into the cell or organism. For bacteria or prokaryotic cells in culture, this is usually in the form of a circular DNA molecule called a plasmid. It is important to use a reporter gene that is not natively expressed in the cell or organism under study, since the expression of the reporter is being used as a marker for successful uptake of the gene of interest.
Commonly used reporter genes that induce visually identifiable characteristics usually involve fluorescent and luminescent proteins. Examples include the gene that encodes jellyfish green fluorescent protein (GFP), which causes cells that express it to glow green under blue light, the enzyme luciferase, which catalyzes a reaction with luciferin to produce light, and the red fluorescent protein from the gene dsRed. The GUS gene has been commonly used in plants but luciferase and GFP are becoming more common.[1]
A common reporter in bacteria is the E. coli lacZ gene, which encodes the protein beta-galactosidase. This enzyme causes bacteria expressing the gene to appear blue when grown on a medium that contains the substrate analog X-gal. An example of a selectable-marker which is also a reporter in bacteria is the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene, which confers resistance to the antibiotic chloramphenicol.
 Transformation and transfection assays
Many methods of transfection and transformation - two ways of expressing a foreign or modified gene in an organism - are effective in only a small percentage of a population subjected to the techniques. Thus, a method for identifying those few successful gene uptake events is necessary. Reporter genes used in this way are normally expressed under their own promoter independent from that of the introduced gene of interest; the reporter gene can be expressed constitutively (that is, it is "always on") or inducibly with an external intervention such as the introduction of IPTG in the β-galactosidase system. As a result, the reporter gene's expression is independent of the gene of interest's expression, which is an advantage when the gene of interest is only expressed under certain specific conditions or in tissues that are difficult to access.
In the case of selectable-marker reporters such as CAT, the transfected population of bacteria can be grown on a substrate that contains chloramphenicol. Only those cells that have successfully taken up the construct containing the CAT gene will survive and multiply under these conditions.
 Gene expression assays
Reporter genes can also be used to assay for the expression of the gene of interest, which may produce a protein that has little obvious or immediate effect on the cell culture or organism. In these cases the reporter is directly attached to the gene of interest to create a gene fusion. The two genes are under the same promoter elements and are transcribed into a single messenger RNA molecule. The mRNA is then translated into protein. In these cases it is important that both proteins be able to properly fold into their active conformations and interact with their substrates despite being fused. In building the DNA construct, a segment of DNA coding for a flexible polypeptide linker region is usually included so that the reporter and the gene product will only minimally interfere with one another.
 Promoter assays
Reporter genes can be used to assay for the activity of a particular promoter in a cell or organism. In this case there is no separate "gene of interest"; the reporter gene is simply placed under the control of the target promoter and the reporter gene product's activity is quantitatively measured. The results are normally reported relative to the activity under a "consensus" promoter known to induce strong gene expression.
 Further uses
A more complex usage of reporter genes on a large scale is in two-hybrid screening, which aims to identify proteins that natively interact with one another in vivo.

The Cumberland darter has a limited range in the upper Cumberland River drainage, most of which is in Kentucky. A proposed rule is currently in review to federally list this species as endangered, because of recent range curtailment and fragmentation resulting from habitat degradation. CFI, in cooperation with Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife (KDFWR), developed captive propagation protocols for reintroduction of the Cumberland darter into streams within its native range to restore populations that have been extirpated. Because of the apparent rarity of this species, captive propagation and reintroduction is considered an appropriate tool for its recovery and eventual delisting. Propagated individuals will be released within the watershed from which brood stock are taken, to avoid mixing potentially unique evolutionary lineages. Reintroduction sites will be chosen where habitat conditions are suitable and there is some level of protection (e.g., within wildlife management area or national forest boundaries). Survivability and movement patterns of released fish will be assessed through mark-recapture methods and through periodic monitoring using non-invasive methods, such as visual census techniques.
Captive propagation and reintroduction are considered appropriate tools for the recovery and eventual delisting of the Cumberland darter. Although the life history of the johnny darter (Etheostoma nigrum) has been relatively well studied, details of the reproductive biology (e.g., spawning behavior) of the Cumberland darter was unknown, though turned out to be similar. Identification of critical habitat and other environmental conditions necessary for spawning to occur is essential to the recovery of this species. Restoration of extirpated populations through reintroduction is considered a necessary step to remove the Cumberland darter from the Endangered and Threatened Wildlife list.
August 2009 the 60 juvenile Cumberland darters propagated at CFI were released into Cogur Fork, McCreary County KY. Production efforts in 2010 and 2011 yielded 335 and 297 larvae respectively each year. The addition of a chiller to the rearing system of the larvae greatly increased larval survivorship and 2012 production increased to 1800 Cumberland darter juveniles! Although Cogur Fork apparently lacked Cumberland darters prior to stocking, habitat appeared suitable, and two other commonly associated darter species were present (rainbow and stripetail). The release of the low number of propagated fish was intended to test potential survivorship and dispersal. We are looking forward to participating in monitoring efforts to see how these fish are doing in their new home.

The AlarmManager is set with the date that i parse.
I have a getter and setter class that i use to pull the release dates and the name of the items when the list is populated.
How could i go about setting the title of the item when the alarm goes off as a notification?

What you want to display in the title of the notification just pass that string to the "Ticker" variable in the following code..
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, Ticker, when);

Java™ Platform
Standard Ed. 6
javax.sql.rowset
Interface FilteredRowSet
All Superinterfaces:
CachedRowSet, Joinable, ResultSet, RowSet, WebRowSet, Wrapper
public interface FilteredRowSet
extends WebRowSet
The standard interface that all standard implementations of FilteredRowSet must implement. The FilteredRowSetImpl class provides the reference implementation which may be extended if required. Alternatively, a vendor is free to implement its own version by implementing this interface.
1.0 Background
There are occasions when a RowSet object has a need to provide a degree of filtering to its contents. One possible solution is to provide a query language for all standard RowSet implementations; however, this is an impractical approach for lightweight components such as disconnected RowSet objects. The FilteredRowSet interface seeks to address this need without supplying a heavyweight query language along with the processing that such a query language would require.
A JDBC FilteredRowSet standard implementation implements the RowSet interfaces and extends the CachedRowSetTM class. The CachedRowSet class provides a set of protected cursor manipulation methods, which a FilteredRowSet implementation can override to supply filtering support.
2.0 Predicate Sharing
If a FilteredRowSet implementation is shared using the inherited createShared method in parent interfaces, the Predicate should be shared without modification by all FilteredRowSet instance clones.
3.0 Usage
By implementing a Predicate (see example in Predicate class JavaDoc), a FilteredRowSet could then be used as described below.
 FilteredRowSet frs = new FilteredRowSetImpl();
 frs.populate(rs);

 Range name = new Range("Alpha", "Bravo", "columnName");
 frs.setFilter(name);

 frs.next() // only names from "Alpha" to "Bravo" will be returned

In the example above, we initialize a Range object which implements the Predicate interface. This object expresses the following constraints: All rows outputted or modified from this FilteredRowSet object must fall between the values 'Alpha' and 'Bravo' both values inclusive, in the column 'columnName'. If a filter is applied to a FilteredRowSet object that contains no data that falls within the range of the filter, no rows are returned.
This framework allows multiple classes implementing predicates to be used in combination to achieved the required filtering result with out the need for query language processing.
4.0 Updating a FilteredRowSet Object
The predicate set on a FilteredRowSet object applies a criterion on all rows in a RowSet object to manage a subset of rows in a RowSet object. This criterion governs the subset of rows that are visible and also defines which rows can be modified, deleted or inserted.
Therefore, the predicate set on a FilteredRowSet object must be considered as bi-directional and the set criterion as the gating mechanism for all views and updates to the FilteredRowSet object. Any attempt to update the FilteredRowSet that violates the criterion will result in a SQLException object being thrown.
The FilteredRowSet range criterion can be modified by applying a new Predicate object to the FilteredRowSet instance at any time. This is possible if no additional references to the FilteredRowSet object are detected. A new filter has has an immediate effect on criterion enforcement within the FilteredRowSet object, and all subsequent views and updates will be subject to similar enforcement.
5.0 Behavior of Rows Outside the Filter
Rows that fall outside of the filter set on a FilteredRowSet object cannot be modified until the filter is removed or a new filter is applied.
Furthermore, only rows that fall within the bounds of a filter will be synchronized with the data source.

Wills and Powers of Attorney in a Social Distancing Environment
Concern over COVID-19 and its potential impact has given many people concern over whether they "have their affairs in order." Lawyers and financial advisors are getting inquiries about how to deal with wills and powers of attorney, often from those who are the most vulnerable or their loved ones. In an era of imposed social distancing, and total shut down of access by visitors to hospitals and care facilities, there are many challenges if it is considered urgent that a new will or power of attorney is to be signed.
Ontario law has strict rules regarding the proper signing of Wills and powers of attorney. Both types of documents must be signed in the physical presence of two witnesses with all persons seeing each other sign. Also, there are restrictions on who can witness Wills and powers of attorney.
You need to be at least 18 to make a Will and have the required legal capacity. No one can provide Will instructions on your behalf. Wills cannot be witnessed by the following persons: any beneficiary or spouse/partner of a beneficiary; any person who is under the age of 18. The estate trustee can be a witness, but it is not recommended.
You need to be at least 18 to make a power of attorney for property and 16 to make a power of attorney for care, and have the required legal capacity in both cases. No one can provide instructions on your behalf.
Powers of attorney cannot be witnessed by the following persons: the grantor; children of the grantor or persons the grantor has treated as his/her child; persons appointed as attorney or their spouse/partner; persons whose property is under guardianship or who have a guardian of the person; any person who is under 18 years of age.
In all of these scenarios, physical presence is required and video conferencing, remote document signing and other methods available for distance execution of contracts are not available. To create a valid will or power of attorney, even in times of social distancing, physical presence is needed.
There are ways to achieve a validly executed will or power of attorney, with witnesses present but separated by glass windows or doors, extra measures used to sanitize pens and desks and telephone and/or video phone connections to make sure that the necessary steps are followed, but these need to be considered in each individual case. The take away needs to be "use caution" and "get professional advice."
Note: The information provided is based on Ontario law, and the laws of Canada applicable therein. However, it does not constitute legal advice or create a solicitor-client relationship. Readers are encouraged to consult a member of Blaneys' Wills and Estates practice group for advice specific to their circumstances.

The Andrews Labor Government is delivering new metropolitan bus contracts that support our transition to a zero-emissions bus network, providing more modern and reliable services to get Victorians where they need to go.
Minister for Public Transport Ben Carroll today announced the process of recontracting 30 per cent of the metropolitan bus network will soon get underway, as part of the Labor Government's push towards a cleaner and more sustainable bus fleet – with all new buses on Victoria's public transport routes to be zero-emissions from 2025.
Creating a greener fleet is also part of Victoria's Bus Plan to improve passenger experience and deliver value for money for Victorians, with new, greener buses critical to the Labor Government's goal of net zero emissions by 2045.
Under the recontracting process, the market will be asked to submit proposals on how to boost passenger experience, deliver network and operating efficiencies and optimise the transition to zero emissions buses, building on the Government's $20 million, Zero Emissions Bus (ZEB) Trial.
The trial is informing the transition of around 4,000 diesel buses in the state's public fleet, including around 2,200 in regional Victoria, to zero emissions.
The trial is also fostering vital local industry partnerships – such as with energy providers and manufacturers – that will be needed to achieve the transition across the state.
The Government will support existing and any new operators through the transition to the new contracts, which will commence on 1 July 2025.
The new contracts bring consistency to commercial arrangements across the metropolitan bus network, in line with the 10-year contracts other operators signed in 2018 and the Metropolitan Bus Franchise signed in 2022.
Quotes attributable to Minister for Public Transport Ben Carroll
"These new metropolitan bus contracts support Victoria's Bus Plan and will help tackle emissions on the bus network – which is critical to Victoria meeting our commitment of net zero emissions by 2045."
"We're providing greater flexibility to deliver a more modern, efficient and reliable bus network that attracts more passengers and gets them where they need to go."

This routine takes and array and returns the first hash reference found as well as those elements that are not hashes. Note the latter point because all other references to hashes in the array will be lost.
Convert a unit string or number into a PGPLOT-certified length unit specification, or return undef if it won't go.
This is a convenience routine for parsing a set of options. It returns both the full set of options and those that the user has set.
Saves the PGPLOT state so that changes to settings can be made and then the present state restored by _restore_status.
Restore the PGPLOT state. See "_save_status".
This routine checks and optionally alters the arguments given to it.
This is an internal routine that encapsulates all the nastiness of setting colours depending on the different PGPLOT colour models (although HLS is not supported).
The routine works in the following way:
 - At initialisation of the plot device the work colour index is set to 16. The work index is the index the routine will modify unless the user has specified something else.
 - The routine should be used after standard interpretation and synonym matching has been used. So if the colour is given as input is an integer that colour index is used.
 - If the colour is a reference the routine checks whether it is an ARRAY or a PDL reference. If it is not an error message is given. If it is a PDL reference it will be converted to an array ref.
 - If the array has four elements the first element is interpreted as the colour index to modify and this overrules the setting for the work index used internally. Otherwise the work index is used and incremented until the maximum number of colours for the output device is reached (as indicated by pgqcol). Should you wish to change that you need to read the PGPLOT documentation - it is somewhat device dependent.
 - When the array has been recognised the R,G and B colours of the user-set index or work index is set using the pgscr command and we are finished.
 - If the input colour instead is a string we try to set the colour using the PGPLOT routine pgscrn with no other error-checking. This should be ok, as that routine returns a rather sensible error-message.
This internal routine is the default routine for parsing options. This routine deals with a subset of options that most routines will accept.
Given a PGPLOT tr matrix and an image size, calculate the data world coordinates over which the image ranges. This is used in imag and cont. It keeps track of the required half-pixel offset to display images properly -- eg feeding in no tr matrix at all, nx=20, and ny=20 will will return (-0.5,19.5,-0.5,19.5). It also checks the options hash for XRange/YRange specifications and, if they are present, it overrides the appropriate output with the exact ranges in those fields.
Given a FITS image, return the PGPLOT transformation matrix to convert pixel coordinates to scientific coordinates. Used by fits_imag, fits_rgbi, and fits_cont, but may come in handy for other methods.
 my $tr = _FITS_tr( $win, $img );
 my $tr = _FITS_tr( $win, $img, $opts );
The return value ($tr in the examples above) is the same as returned by the transform() routine, with values set up to convert the pixel to scientific coordinate values for the two-dimensional image $img. The $opts argument is optional and should be a HASH reference; currently it only understands one key (any others are ignored):
 WCS => undef (default), "", or "A" to "Z"
Both the key name and value are case insensitive. If left as undef or "" then the primary coordinate mapping from the header is used, otherwise use the additional WCS mapping given by the appropriate letter. We make no checks that the given mapping is available; the routine falls back to the unit mapping if the specified system is not available.
The WCS option has only been tested on images from the Chandra X-ray satellite (_URL_ created by the CIAO software package (_URL_ for which you should set WCS => "P" to use the PHYSICAL coordinate system.
See _URL_ for further information on the Representation of World Coordinate Systems in FITS.
The coding tries to follow reasonable standards, so that all functions starting with an underscore should be considered as internal and should not be called from outside the package. In addition most routines have a set of options. These are encapsulated and are not accessible outside the routine. This is to avoid collisions between different variables.

Space-Time Modeling of Vector Hydrologic Sequences
Water Resources Bulletin
ISSN or ISBN
Stochastic modeling of vector hydrologic sequences is examined with a general class of space‐time autoregressive integrated moving average (STARIMA) models. The models describe spatial and temporal autocorrelatjon, through dependent variables lagged both in space and time. The model structures incorporate a hierarchical ordering scheme to map the vector of observations into a network configuration. The neighboring structure used introduces a physical/geographical hierarchy to enable the model identification procedures to assist in determining appropriate correlative relationships. The three‐stage iterative space‐time model building procedure is illustrated using average monthly streamfiow data for a four‐station network of the Southeastern Hydropower System.

You could also use std::unique_ptr<BookImpl> or equivalent to manage the internal pointer.

Policy Clone
Intent
Instantiate a policy class with many different possible types without ad-hoc limitations on type of the policy classes.
Also Known As
Motivation
Highly reusable, flexible and extensible classes can be built using policy based class design techniques. Sometimes, the host class of the policies needs to make an exact replica of one of its policies which is instantiated with a different type parameter. Unfortunately, the writer of the host class template does not know the template name to instantiate beforehand. Moreover, the policy class may or may not be a template in the first place. If it is a template, then the host class may not know how many minimum type parameters are required to instantiate the parameterized policy class. If the policy class is not a template, it may not be able to participate as a policy class. This situation is quite analogous to the situation in the Factory Method (GoF) pattern where type of the object to be created is not known a priori.
template <class Apolicy>
class Host
{
 Apolicy direct_policy_use;
 Apolicy <SomeInternalType> InternalClone; // Problem 1: Can't do this
};
template <class T, template <class T> class Apolicy>
class Host2
{
 Apolicy <T> common_use;
 Apolicy <SomeInternalType> InternalClone;
 // Can do this now but
 // Problem 2: policies that require more than one type parameter can't participate.
};
Solution and Sample Code
A member template struct (called rebind) is used to pass a different type parameter to the policy class template. For example,
template <typename T>
class NiftyAlloc
{
 public:
 template <typename Other>
 struct rebind // The Policy Clone idiom
 {
 typedef NiftyAlloc <Other> other;
 };
 //...
};
template <typename T, class Alloc = NiftyAlloc <T> >
class Vector
{
 public:
 typedef typename Alloc::template rebind<long>::other ClonePolicy;
 // Here, Alloc may not be a template class or a parametrized instantiation of
 // a class that takes unknown number of type parameters.
};
Here, the Container template needs a replica of the allocation policy it is instantiated with. Therefore, it uses the rebind mechanism exposed by the NiftyAlloc policy. The type Alloc::template rebind<long>::other is same as NiftyAlloc<long>. Essentially, it says, "I don't know what kind of allocator this type is, and I don't know what it allocates, but I want an allocator just like it that allocates longs." Using concepts（it has been removed from C++0x), the Vector class can write type concept that checks whether the Alloc policy type supports rebind concept.
To keep the compiler happy, we have to use both the keywords typename and template in the ClonePolicy typedef. The rule is as follows: If the name of a member template specialization appears after a ., ->, or :: operator, and that name has explicitly qualified template parameters, prefix the member template name with the keyword template. The Keyword typename is also necessary in the typedef because "other" is a type, not a variable.
Known Uses
 - Standard Template Library
 - Compilers that do not support template template parameters
Related Idioms
Meta-function wrapper idiom is a more powerful idiom than policy Clone. Policy Clone idiom indicates its purpose in a more abstract fashion than meta-function wrapper. The rebind template is essentially the meta-function wrapper.

Polymorphic Exception
Intent
 - To create an exception object polymorphically
 - To decouple a module from the concrete details of the exceptions it may throw
Also Known As
Motivation
Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP), a popular object-oriented software design guideline states that higher level modules should not depend directly on lower level modules. Instead, both should depend on common abstractions (captured in the form of well-defined interfaces). For example, an object of type Person (say John) should not create and use an object of type HondaCivic but instead John should simply commit to a Car interface, which is an abstract base class of HondaCivic. This allows John to upgrade to a Corvette easily in future without any changes to the class Person. John can be "configured" with a concrete instance of a car (any car) using dependency injection technique. Use of DIP leads to flexible and extensible modules that are easy to unit test. Unit testing is simplified by DIP because real objects can be easily replaced with mock objects using dependency injection.
However, there are several occasions when DIP is violated: (1) while using the Singleton pattern and (2) while throwing exceptions! Singleton pattern breaks DIP because it forces the use of the concrete class name while accessing the static instance() function. A singleton should be passed as a parameter while calling a function or a constructor. A similar situation arises while dealing with exceptions in C++. The throw clause in C++ requires a concrete type name (class) to raise an exception. For example,
throw MyConcreteException("Big Bang!");
Any module that throws exceptions like this immediately results into a violation of DIP. Naturally, it is harder to unit test such a module because real exception objects cannot easily be replaced with mock exception objects. A solution like the one below fails miserably as throw in C++ uses static typing and knows nothing about polymorphism.
struct ExceptionBase { };
struct ExceptionDerived : ExceptionBase { };

void foo(ExceptionBase& e)
{
 throw e; // Uses static type of e while rasing an exception.
}
int main (void)
{
 ExceptionDerived e;
 try {
 foo(e);
 }
 catch (ExceptionDerived& e) {
 // Exception raised in foo does not match this catch.
 }
 catch (...) {
 // Exception raised in foo is caught here.
 }
}
Polymorphic exception idiom addresses the issue.
Solution and Sample Code
Polymorphic exception idiom simply delegates the job of raising the exception back to the derived class using a virtual function raise()
struct ExceptionBase
{
 virtual void raise() { throw *this; }
 virtual ~ExceptionBase() {}
};
struct ExceptionDerived : ExceptionBase
{
 virtual void raise() { throw *this; }
};

void foo(ExceptionBase& e)
{
 e.raise(); // Uses dynamic type of e while raising an exception.
}
int main (void)
{
 ExceptionDerived e;
 try {
 foo(e);
 }
 catch (ExceptionDerived& e) {
 // Exception raised in foo now matches this catch.
 }
 catch (...) {
 // not here anymore!
 }
}
The throw statement has been moved into virtual functions. The raise function invoked in function foo is polymorphic and selects the implementation in either ExceptionBase or ExceptionDerived class depending upon what is passed as a parameter (dependency injection). Type of *this is obviously known at compile-time, which results into raising a polymorphic exception. The structure of this idiom is very similar to that of Virtual Constructor idiom.
Propagating a polymorphic exception
Quite often an exception is handled in multiple catch statements to treat it differently in different layers of the program/library. In such cases, the earlier catch blocks need to rethrow the exception so that the outer catch blocks, if any, may take the necessary actions. When a polymorphic exception is involved, inner catch block(s) may modify the exception object before passing it on to the catch blocks up in the stack. In such cases, care must be taken to ensure that the original exception object is propagated. Consider a seemingly innocuous looking program below, which fails to do that.
try {
 foo(e); // throws an instance of ExceptionDerived as before.
 }
 catch (Exception


The large ears of the jackrabbit are used in cooling, radiating heat via an extensive network of blood vessels.
Introduction
Jackrabbits live in the desert where they're exposed to extremely hot daytime temperatures, but these animals are able to stay cool by releasing excess heat from their oversized ears.
The Strategy
The jackrabbit's large ears provide an expansive surface area of exposed skin loaded with blood vessels. When the surrounding air temperature is slightly below body temperature, as when it retreats from hot desert sun into shade, the blood vessels in the outer part of its ears widen in a process called vasodilation. This results in greater circulation of warm blood from the body's core to the jackrabbit's ears, where heat is lost to the cooler surrounding air.
This cooling mechanism based on blood circulation helps to prevent overheating and maintain the jackrabbit's body temperature within set boundaries. It's also an important water conservation technique given the jackrabbit's arid habitat, as it reduces the need for evaporative cooling mechanisms, such as panting or sweating, which involve the loss of water. At air temperatures around 86° Fahrenheit (30° Celsius), convection from the jackrabbit's ears can shed all of the animal's excess heat.

video thumbnail
Jackrabbits spend most of their time slowly munching grasses and other plants in very open environments. Their cooling ears provide a break from the heat in these areas without much shade.
The Potential
Jackrabbit ears, like all heat exchangers, depend on surface area. However, most industrial equipment is built from rigid metals that can't "vasodilate." By increasing the diameter of its blood vessels, the jackrabbit effectively increases the surface area over which heat exchange can occur. This could result in more dynamic heat exchanger designs that adapt to improve overall efficiency. In a way, jackrabbits are using their ears as temperature sinks. Imagine homes or other buildings with surfaces that absorbed heat during the day and then retracted inside the home to help warm it during cooler nighttime temperatures.

To gain insight on the impact of nuclear quantum effects on the different interactions present in the Rg X systems, we propose an APMO/MP2 energy decomposition analysis scheme. For RgH ions, isotopic substitution leads to an increase in the stability of the complex, because polarization and charge transfer contributions increase with the mass of the hydrogen. In the case of Rg H complexes, isotopic substitution results in a shortening and weakening of the rare gas-hydrogen ion bond. For Rg X complexes, the isotope effects on the rare gas binding energy are almost negligible. Nevertheless, our results reveal that subtle changes in the charge distribution of the Rg X core induced by an isotopic substitution have an impact on the geometry of the Rg X complex. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

caused by a sudden temperature shock. While your fish is acclimating, remember to prepare your Big Green Egg for its smoky endeavor. Apply a thin layer of oil or non-stick cooking spray on the grates to prevent sticking and facilitate effortless cleanup.
For those who crave an extra burst of flavor, seasoning your fish with additional herbs, spices, or rubs before smoking is an option worth exploring. This additional layer of seasoning complements the marinade or brine used earlier, intensifying the taste sensations that await.
Adding Smoke Flavor to the Fish
Smoking fish in a Big Green Egg is like adding a touch of magic to your culinary creations. It takes your fish dishes from ordinary to extraordinary, infusing them with a tantalizing smoky flavor that will leave your taste buds begging for more. If you're ready to take your grilling game to the next level and learn how to add that perfect smoke flavor to your fish, then let's dive into the step-by-step process.
Step 1: Choose the Right Wood Chips
The type of wood chips you use can make or break the flavor of your smoked fish. Mesquite wood chips will give your fish a robust and bold smokiness, while fruit woods like apple or cherry can provide a sweeter and milder smoke flavor. Soak the wood chips in water for about 30 minutes before using them. This not only helps create more smoke but also prevents them from burning too quickly.
Step 2: Season the Fish
Before placing your fish in the Big Green Egg, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This step is crucial as it enhances the overall flavor of the fish and complements the smokiness. Don't be afraid to get creative with your seasonings – experiment with herbs, spices, and marinades to find your perfect flavor combination.
Step 3: Maintain Consistent Temperature
To achieve that perfect smoked fish, it's essential to maintain a consistent temperature in your Big Green Egg. The ideal temperature for smoking fish is typically between 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit. Investing in a temperature controller or monitor can make this task easier, ensuring that you stay within the optimal temperature range throughout the cooking process.
Step 4: Oil the Grates
To prevent your fish from sticking to the grates, lightly oil them before placing the fish on top. This simple step ensures easy flipping and beautiful grill marks, while also adding a subtle layer of flavor.
Step 5: Monitor Internal Temperature
Using a meat thermometer, keep a close eye on the internal temperature of your fish as it cooks. Different types of fish have different recommended internal temperatures, but as a general rule, most fish should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that the fish is fully cooked and safe to eat, without drying it out.
Step 6: Rest and Enjoy
Once your fish reaches the desired internal temperature, remove it from the Big Green Egg and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to further develop and the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a moist and flavorful piece of perfection.
Cooking Time for Smoked Fish
Smoking fish in a Big Green Egg is not only a mouthwatering way to enjoy seafood, but it also adds a depth of flavor that is sure to impress your friends and family. But before you dive into this culinary journey, it's crucial to understand the cooking time for smoked fish in a Big Green Egg.
The key to achieving perfectly smoked fish lies in the mantra of "low and slow." This means cooking the fish at low temperatures over an extended period. By doing so, the fish has ample time to absorb the smoky flavors while retaining its tenderness and moisture.
Several factors can influence the cooking time for smoked fish:
- Type and size of the fish: Thinner fillets or smaller whole fish will require less time to cook, while larger or thicker cuts may need more time on the smoker.
- Temperature: The temperature at which you smoke the fish plays a significant role in determining the cooking time. Maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the smoking process ensures even cooking.
To ensure that your smoked fish is cooked to perfection, it's essential to monitor its internal temperature. A good starting point is aiming for an internal temperature of around 145°F (63°C) for most types of fish. This ensures that the fish is fully cooked and safe to eat while retaining its moisture. However, certain fish, like salmon, can be cooked to a slightly lower internal temperature of around 130°F (54°C) for a more medium-rare texture.
To accurately gauge the internal temperature, use a digital meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fish. Remember not to overcook the fish, as it can result in a dry and tough texture.
While monitoring the internal temperature is crucial, visual cues also play a role in determining doneness. A fully cooked fish should appear opaque and flake easily with a fork. If you notice any translucency or a rubbery texture, it may require more time on the smoker.
External factors, such as weather conditions and the type of wood chips or pellets used for smoking, can also influence the cooking time. Following a recipe or cooking guide specific to the type of fish you're smoking will help ensure the best results.
Finishing Touches: Glazing and Sauces
As you embark on this culinary adventure, there are a few finishing touches that can take your smoked fish to the next level: glazing and sauces. These final additions not only add flavor and moisture but also give your fish a beautiful glossy sheen that will make it look as good as it tastes.
Let's start with glazes. Picture the perfect combination of sweetness and savory tang, like honey or maple syrup paired with soy sauce or the refreshing zest of fruit juices. These are just a few of the ingredients that can be used to create a sticky and flavorful coating for your smoked fish. Brushing on the glaze during the last few minutes of cooking allows it to caramelize, forming a mouthwatering crust that tantalizes the taste buds.
Now, let's dive into some popular glaze options for smoked fish. One classic choice is the teriyaki glaze, which combines the richness of soy sauce with brown sugar, ginger, and garlic for a sweet and savory flavor profile. If you're craving something citrusy, a citrus glaze made with lemon or orange juice, honey, and herbs like thyme or rosemary can add a bright and refreshing twist. And for those who enjoy a little heat, a sweet and spicy glaze featuring ingredients like chili flakes or sriracha can give your fish a delicious kick.
But glazes aren't the only way to elevate your smoked fish experience. Sauces are another fantastic option that can be served alongside or drizzled over the fish before serving. Imagine dipping your perfectly smoked fish into a tangy tartar sauce or savoring it with a creamy lemon dill sauce that enhances its flavors. And let's not forget about aioli – a zesty garlic mayonnaise that can add a burst of flavor to your smoked fish creation.
When choosing glazes and sauces for your smoked fish, it's important to strike a balance of flavors. You want them to enhance the natural taste of the fish without overpowering it. Don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your perfect match.
Timing is crucial when it comes to glazing and saucing your smoked fish. Apply the glaze or sauce towards the end of the smoking process to prevent burning or charring. The high heat of the Big Green Egg can quickly caramelize the sugars in the glaze and cause it to burn if applied too early.
It's important to note that glazing and saucing are optional additions to smoked fish. Some purists prefer to enjoy the pure smoky flavor of the fish without any additional condiments. It all comes down to personal preference and experimenting with what you enjoy most.
Resting the Smoked Fish
Smoking fish is an art that requires time, patience, and a keen attention to detail. While the smoking process itself is crucial, many grill enthusiasts overlook the importance of resting the smoked fish after it has been cooked. In this blog post, we will explore why resting your smoked fish is essential for optimal flavor and texture, providing you with a culinary experience that will leave you craving more.
Allowing Flavors to Meld Together:
During the smoking process, the fish absorbs moisture from the smoky environment. However, this can sometimes result in the fish becoming slightly dry. Resting the smoked fish allows the flavors to meld together, creating a harmonious blend that will tantalize your taste buds.
Resting your smoked fish enables it to reabsorb some of the moisture lost during smoking. This rehydration enhances succulence and ensures a juicy and flavorful final product that will satisfy your cravings.
Relaxing Protein Fibers:
The cooking process tightens proteins in fish, resulting in a tougher texture. Resting the smoked fish gives these protein fibers time to relax, making the flesh more tender and easier to eat. This step is pivotal in ensuring an exceptional dining experience.
While your smoked fish is resting, take advantage of this time to prepare accompanying sauces or side dishes that will perfectly complement its flavors. Tangy citrus glazes or sweet and spicy chili sauces elevate your culinary creation to new heights.
Yes, you can absolutely smoke fish in a Big Green Egg. The Big Green Egg is not just for grilling, it's also a versatile smoker that can infuse your

Damage detection is an important application of structural health monitoring. With the recent development of sensing technology, additional information about structures, angular velocity, has become available. In this paper, the angular velocity signals obtained from gyroscopes are modeled as an autoregressive (AR) model. The damage sensitive features (DSFs) are defined as a function of the AR coefficients. It is found that the mean values of the DSF for the damaged and undamaged signals are different. Also, we show that the angular velocity- based AR model has a linear relationship with the acceleration-based AR model. To test the proposed damage detection method, the algorithm has been tested with the experimental data from a recent shake table test where the damage is introduced systemically. The results indicate that the change of DSF means is statistically significant, and the angular velocity-based DSFs are sensitive to damage.
