m \int_C \vecb{v} \cdot \dif{\vecb{v}} \\
&= m \left( \int_{v_{x1}}^{v_{x2}} v_x \dif{v_x} + \int_{v_{y1}}^{v_{y2}} v_y \dif{v_y} + \int_{v_{z1}}^{v_{z2}} v_z \dif{v_z} \right) \\
&= \frac{1}{2}m \left( \left(v_{x2}^2 – v_{x1}^2\right) + \left(v_{y2}^2 – v_{y1}^2\right) + \left(v_{z2}^2 – v_{z1}^2\right) \right) \\
&= \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 – \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 \\
\end{align}$$
And we're left with the Work-Energy Theorem:
$$\int_C \vecb{F} \cdot \dif{\vecb{r}} = \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 – \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2$$
Now, if we define the quantity $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ to be the "kinetic energy" and the quantity $\int \vecb{F} \cdot \dif{\vecb{r}}$ to be the "work" (the "total" force applied to a system over a distance), then we can express the theorem intuitively: work applied to a system increases the kinetic energy. And now we can use it to solve problems without having to deal with times — only distances.
Let's try a quick example. If gravity applies a force of 10 N to a box from rest for 10 m, what will its velocity be? In this case, $F = 10 \text{ N}$, $r_2 = 10 \text{ m}$, and $r_1 = 0 \text{ m}$. We can now plug in (we can replace the line integral with a regular integral, assuming we're moving in a straight line):
$$\begin{gather}
\int_{r_1}^{r_2} F \dif{r} = \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 – \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 \\
F(r_2 – r_1) = \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 – \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 \\
\end{gather}$$
And from there, we can solve for velocity. Again, notice that we don't care about the time it takes, just the distance over which a force acts. Cool! (What if we cared about the time it takes rather than the distance? Then we can use impulse, which comes from the definition of force.)
There's one problem with the Work-Energy Theorem: evaluating the line integral is annoying. Converting that line integral into a regular integral is fine for the example I just gave, but it won't work if the path is not in the same direction as the force.
It turns out, though, that a lot of the forces we care about (gravity, springs, electromagnetic force) are conservative forces. This means that the line integral is path-independent: its value doesn't depend on which path you take from point A to point B; it only matters where point A and point B are.
One analogy is with regular integrals. If you're integrating from $x = 0$ to $x = 5$, you'll always get the same answer as long as the ultimate endpoints are the same.
$$ \int_0^5 f(x) \dif{x} = \int_0^{-10} f(x) \dif{x} + \int_{-10}^7 f(x) \dif{x} + \int_7^5 f(x) \dif{x}$$
Along the same lines, for line integrals of conservative forces, you'll always get the same answer no matter which path you take.
The path-independence of regular integrals is what makes the fundamental theorem of calculus possible:
$$ \int_a^b f(x) \dif{x} = F(b) – F(a)$$
It turns out that there's an analogous version of the fundamental theorem for line integrals of conservative forces:
$$ \int_C \vecb{F}(\vecb{r}) \cdot \dif{\vecb{r}} = U(\vecb{r}_2) – U(\vecb{r}_1)$$ where $U$ is the "antiderivative" — the scalar potential of the vector field $\vecb{F}$. In other words, for every conservative force, we can define a potential function that we can use to evaluate line integrals of conservative forces. This potential function will have a value for every point in space. (Note that the value will be a scalar and not a vector.) For example, for the force of gravity, $\vecb{F}(\vecb{r}) = \frac{GMm}{r^2}\hatb{r}$, and $U(\vecb{r}) = -\frac{GMm}{r} + C$, where $C$ is the constant of integration, here usually taken so that $U(\infty) = 0$. Notice that $\dod{U}{r} = F$ (or the multidimensional equivalent, $\nabla{U} = \vecb{F})$!
So for a conservative force, the Work-Energy Theorem becomes:
$$U(\vecb{r}_2) – U(\vecb{r}_1) = \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 – \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2$$ or
$$\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 + U(\vecb{r}_1) = \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 + U(\vecb{r}_2)$$
Let's call $U$ the potential energy, and now we've obtained an expression for the conservation of mechanical energy. As long as we're talking about conservative forces like gravity, the sum of the kinetic and potential energy stay the same no matter what you do.
So that's how you get work, kinetic energy, and potential energy from forces. I hope they seem more connected now and less like a jumble of concepts that physics teachers throw at you! Leave a comment if it was helpful!

Equilibrium simulator _URL_ _URL_ Thu, 14 Feb 2013 04:49:25 +0000 _URL_ Continue reading ]]> I'm taking a chemistry class right now on acid-base equilibria, and one problem that keeps getting assigned is one where you're given some initial concentrations, and they want you to find the equilibrium concentrations.
For example, here's one: Consider 1.00 L of a 0.082 M solution of aqueous formic acid (HCO2H), where $K_a= 1.78 \times 10^{-4}$. What are the equilibrium concentrations of HCO2H, HCO-, H3O+, and OH-?
There are two relevant reactions (we know their equilibrium constants):
equations
We can set up an ICE table with the initial, change in, and equilibrium concentrations ([X] denotes concentration of chemical X):
[HCO2H] [HCO-] [H3O+] [OH-]
initial $$0.082$$ $$10^{-7}$$ $$0$$ $$10^{-7}$$
change $$-x$$ $$x + y$$ $$x$$ $$y$$
equilibrium $$0.082-x$$ $$10^{-7}+x + y$$ $$x$$ $$10^{-7}+y$$
And then we can plug these final concentrations into our two equilibrium constant formulas:
ka
kw
We can solve this system by either making some approximations or shoving it all into something like Mathematica. If we do that, we get [HCO2H] = 0.0783 M, [HCO-] = 0.00373 M, [H3O+] = 0.00373 M,

Callback Handling for Asynchronous Calls
Marketing Cloud recommends using an HTTPPost callback to return the results of asynchronous API requests, rather than receiving the results in an email.
To secure your public callback URL:
- Submit the HTTPPost using HTTPS.
- Allowlist Marketing Cloud IP addresses.
Retrieve the call's status using one of these actions:
- Set the asynchronous calls to return an HTTP POST or email message after processing.
- Perform a retrieve on the ResultMessage object and filter by the ResultID of the original request.
To use an HTTPPost callback to return the results of asynchronous API requests, set
HTTPPost and specify a publicly accessible URL for
SendResponseTo.ResponseAddress. The callback URL receives a standard HTTPPost request with the
application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type and these fields:
Unlike synchronous API calls, all successful asynchronous calls return a status of OK. This status indicates that the API received the call and it was queued. The callback does not indicate whether the call executed or failed or include unnecessary fields. For example, StatusMessage or ErrorCode values aren't included for successful calls.
If an HTTPPost throws an exception, the system logs an error and stops the process. The system does not retry the call.
The callbacks you receive correspond to the number of calls you make. If you send 500 async SOAP calls, the callback URL is called 500 times. To receive fewer callbacks, you have a few options:
- Send multiple objects in a single call.
- To get a callback only if an error occurs, modify the RespondWhen setting to be RespondWhen.OnError.
- To capture only successful callbacks, perform a retrieve on the ResultItem and ResultMessage objects, and return only the RequestID and OverallStatusCode.

Visualization Variable Descriptions
Zoomdata uses default values provided in a data source configuration to determine how that data source displays a particular chart. Each variable required by the chart, such as "X Axis" or "Group by", is provided its default value which is recorded in an object in the source configuration. These variables point to fields in the data source so that, for instance, "Y Axis" might draw its values from the field "sales_price". When embedding a visualization in a chart, you can provide it with a variables key, the value of which lists the chart's variables and the settings that you want for them.
This topic is a reference that explains the syntax of each type of variable description. For information about using these variable descriptions to override a chart's default settings, see Configuring Charts via Visualization Variables . For information about embedding a chart in a custom web application, see Embedding a Chart in Your Web Page.
Example of a Variables Key and Value
Here is an example of a variables object for the packed bubbles chart.
variables: {
'Bubble Size': 'count',
'Chart Name': '',
'Bubble Color': 'price:avg:{"autoShowColorLegend":true}',
'Chart Description': '',
'Group By': '{ "name":"usergender", "limit":20, "sort": {"name": "count", "dir": "desc"} }'
}
In the example above, there are some important features described in the following notes.
Notes:
 - 'Bubble Size': 'count',: The count metric is a system metric provided by Zoomdata. Its default UI label is "Volume". This metric does not require or accept function.
 - 'Chart Name': '',: Chart Name is an example of an optional constant. It can be left null.
 - 'Bubble Color': 'price:avg:{"autoShowColorLegend":true}',: Here, Bubble Color is an example of a metric variable used to control a chart's colors. The stringified value is not a standard JSON object.
 - price is the field (column) from the data source used as the metric value.
 - avg is the aggregation function applied to the metric value. Available functions are listed in Supported Aggregation Functions.
 - {"autoShowColorLegend":true} is an example of a color-control object. Color-control objects have two purposes.
 1. They control the assignment of colors to the elements of a chart.
 2. They control the display of labels, legends, and so forth in the Zoomdata client application. These parts of a color control object do not affect the embedding of a chart in your custom application.
 - If you omit the color-control object, also omit the second colon (:) in the string.
 - If the metric is count, which does not accept or require a function, omit the function and simply use two colons (::) to separate count from the color-control object if there is a color-control object, for example:
 'Color Metric' : 'count::{"colorSet":"ZoomSequential"}'
 - 'Group By': '{ "name":"usergender", "limit":20, "sort": {"name": "count", "dir": "desc"} }': Here, Group By is an example of a grouped query. Its value is a stringified group object just like the ones used in query configurations.
Chart Variables
Zoomdata's Embedding API supports the following types of chart variables.
The JSON objects that describe them are subject to change and they should be considered part of Zoomdata's internal APIs. For more information about using internal APIs, see Cautionary Note About Internal APIs.
For an explanation of how to use the chart variables described below to configure an embedded visualization, see Configuring Charts via Visualization Variables .
Grouped Query
Used for making aggregated group-bys from a field (column of data). The grouped query variable's description follows the same format as a group in the Query Configuration Object.
'Buying Demographic': '{ "name":"usergender", "limit":20, "sort": {"name":"count","dir":"desc"} }'
Where:
 - Buying Demographic is the name of the grouped query
 - name specifies the field ID of the group.
 - limit identifies the maximum number of groups to be aggregated
 - sort contains another simple object
 - name specifies the field ID to be used for sorting the groups
 - dir identifies the direction of sorting, either asc for ascending order or desc for descending order
Multi-Group
Provides multiple levels of grouping under a single header. A multi-group variable is a stringified array of grouped queries. Each of the listed groups is described in the same manner as a group in the Query Configuration Object.
'Multi Group By': '[ {"name":"usergender", "limit":50, "sort":{"name":"count","dir":"desc"}}, {"name":"group", "limit":20, "sort": {"name":"count","dir":"desc"}} ]'
For a description of the elements in the array, see the description of a Grouped Query.
Histogram Group
The histogram group variable type provides a breakdown of metric values by segments, or bins, for example, incomes from $0 to $10000, $10001 to $30000, $30001 to $55000, and so forth. The histogram group is only supported by data sources that also support histogram charts.
'Bins Color': '#1f78b4',
'Cumulative Line Color': '#ff7f00',
'Chart Name': '',
'Chart Description': '',
'Group By': '{ "binsType":"auto","binsCount":10,"binsWidth":100,"values":"absolute","cumulative":false,"name":"datenumberpattern"}" }'
Where:
 - Bins Color is a constant value
 - Cumulative Line Color is a constant value
 - Chart Name is a constant value
 - Chart Description is a constant value
 - Group By is a histogram group object. This object is not used elsewhere in Zoomdata and it specifies the properties of the distribution "bins" into which metric values are gathered.
Metric
Provides a measurement of some aggregation. Metric variables require the name of the field (column) of the data source that provides the values for that chart variable, together with the function applied to the values. For example:
"Transaction Value": "saleprice:avg"
Where:
 - Transaction Value is the name of the metric variable
 - salepriceis the name of the field (column) holding the data for the variable
 - avg is the aggregation function applied to the metric. In this case, as Transaction Value data is grouped, the average saleprice will be queried.
For a list of available aggregation functions, see Supported Aggregation Functions .
Multi-Metric
Provides a group of measurements under a single header. Multi-metric variables require a space-separated list of the field names (columns) from the data source that provide the values for that chart variable, together with the function applied to the values, separated by colon. For example:
"Model Stats": "costperunit:avg priceperunit:avg sales:sum"
Where:
 - Model Stats is the name of the multi-metric variable.
 - costperunit,priceperunit, and sales are each the name of a field (column) containing a metric value in the data source.
 - avg and sumare the functions applied to those metrics so that costperunit and priceperunit are of those values and sales is a sum total of its values.
Box Plot Metric
Provides data in a bundled package suitable for the high-performance rendering of box plot diagrams. The box plot metric variable is only supported by data sources that also support box plot charts. To find out if your data source supports box plot charts, see Data Connector Reference.
'Metric': '{"name":"datenumberpattern","func":"percentiles","args":[0,25,50,75,100]}',
'Group By': '{"name":"gender","limit":50,"sort":{"dir":"desc","name":"count"}}'
Where:
 - Metric is a metric object (see Query Configuration Object ) with an additional key, args , which specifies the box plot's distribution boundaries, given in percentiles. For instance, [0,25,50,75,100] indicates that the boxes should show first (0-25), second (25-50, third (50-75), and fourth (75-100) quartiles.
 - Group By is an example of a standard group object

Out of period
Out Of Period (often abbreviated OOP) refers to anything that was not discovered or in general use during the time-frame accepted to be covered by the SCA. By contrast, anything that falls within the accepted time-frame is said to be "in period" or simply period.
Some items that would technically be OOP are considered "in period by consensus" (not sure of the exact phrasing) as life would be way too difficult without them. Some examples include:

A Roho cushion is an inflatable cushion for wheelchairs and beds that can make it more comfortable to be in a wheelchair or be bed bound for long periods of time.
For people who have limited mobility and are either wheelchair-bound or bed bound for a large portion of the day, finding a comfortable spot can be a challenge.
Moreover, staying in one position for long periods of time, such as lying on a bed, can increase the individual's chance for developing painful conditions like bed sores. This is, in a large part due to the flat, solid design of many wheelchair seats and beds.
That is where the Roho cushion comes in.
So, what is a Roho cushion?
A Roho cushion is similar to an inflatable mattress or seat cushion, as it uses air to provide a soft surface for the user. Unlike other forms of cushioning for beds seating, Roho cushions are specially made to provide a comfortable, varied surface for both seating and lying down positions, which in turn helps prevent bed sores from developing.
Check out some top rated Roho Cushions on Amazon
Table could not be displayed.
Bed sores, also known as pressure ulcers, are formed when a portion of the skin spends prolonged periods of time resting on a single surface. Roho mattress pads are made to spread out this pressure over a wider, more flexible surface, reducing the impact of the pressure on the skin and allowing normal blood flow to reach the area.
Not only do Roho cushions make long periods of seating or lying down more comfortable but because they are inflatable, they are easily transported and carried around.
Roho cushions are especially useful due to their easy-to-clean surfaces and their high-quality air pressure systems.
Since Roho mattress cushions are specially made to fit over existing mattresses, they are lightweight and maintain their air pressure for much longer than traditional air mattresses do.
Roho cushions also come in other assistive forms, such as ankle brace cushions and toilet seat cushions, to provide additional comfort to those who need it.
For people with sensory-based ailments, such as fibromyalgia, having additional padding on everyday surfaces can help alleviate some of the symptoms presented by their illness, helping them stay more comfortable longer.
Roho cushions are specially made to adapt to the body's minute changes over various periods of time, relieving pressure on the areas where the skin comes into contact with a surface.
A Roho cushion can aid the long term health of the user by proper weight distribution. This helps in maintaining normal blood flow to the area affected, which can help prevent further injuries or discomfort in the long run.
While a wheelchair cushion or bed pad may seem like a small investment, for someone with limited mobility who spends a majority of their day in constant contact with the same surface, they can be a real blessing.
Roho cushions can help with both their physical well being, as well as their emotional health, as it can take away some of the discomfort of being in the same position for a long period of time.

How do Roho cushions work?
Studies show that functionality is one of the primary goals in mind when creating assistive devices like wheelchairs. At the same time, it is very important keep in mind the overall comfort of the person using these devices for long periods of time.
Things like mattress pads, wheelchair seat cushions, and comfortable hand and ankle braces may have a huge impact on the overall rehabilitation of an individual.
For many people, the comfort provided by the assistive comfort technology allows them to spend more time doing every day activities. This can be central in the rehabilitation process because it can help return a level of self-sufficiency and independence to their day to day lives.
Roho mattress pads provide patients added comfort of a mattress pad and the health benefits of normal blood circulation and prevention of bed sores.
This can have a marked impact on both the recovery time for patients who have been confined to bed rest for a long period of time, as well as an upward trend in the health of patients who are permanently bed bound.
Seat cushions are useful for people who find themselves spending a lot of time in the same spot. This can include someone who utilizes things like wheelchairs (you can read our review of lightweight transport wheelchairs here) and outdoor mobility scooters.
Seat cushions can be combined with things like portable commodes and shower chairs to provide additional comfort during day to day tasks. They can also be placed on a lift chair recliner for added comfort and blood flow throughout the day.
Roho seat cushions can also be easily transported and re-inflated on the go, allowing them to be kept with the individual throughout the day. This allows them to be used in a wider range of locations to help provide comfort while out and about.
Roho mattress pads are useful both for short-term healing processes, as well as for long-term treatment for individual patients. Roho mattress pads are most often used in cases of prolonged bed rest, where contact with an uninterrupted, solid surface can put the patient at risk for a wide range of skin irritations, including bed sores.
Roho mattress pads are used in hospitals and in-home care situations for patients of all levels of care.
For an individual who requires nightly kidney dialysis at home, for example, a Roho pad can help them be more comfortable during the process, and help ensure that the dialysis is able to clean more thoroughly due to the slightly increased blood circulation.
For patients who find themselves in bed for longer periods of time, a Roho cushion can help them feel less trapped, and make sure that their bed feels comfortable for extended periods of use.
Roho cushions can also be easily inflated or deflated to suit the needs of the user, making it more flexible than other mattress pads. Here is a YouTube video demonstrating the right way to set up a Roho cushion:

Who Can Benefit from Roho Cushions?
Roho cushions and mattress pads are useful for people who experience mild to severe discomfort while sitting or lying down on flat surfaces for extended periods of time on a daily basis. This can include people who suffer from sensory-based nerve conditions, such as fibromyalgia and severe arthritis.
Roho mattress pads are also extremely useful for people who are on bed rest after a recent surgery or for people recovering from injuries, such as fractures or spinal injuries. Most pregnant women who have been advised bed rest until the end of their term find Roho mattress pads especially comfortable.
Roho cushions can also help people who spend a large part of their day in a sedentary position such as in the workspace. Most people find them more comfortable for long-term use as compared to traditional seat cushions or coccyx cushions.
Roho cushions can also be used in living areas to make certain types of furniture more comfortable for people who may find themselves needing the extra layer of padding between themselves and the surface of the chair, such as people who cannot easily move from one location to the other unaided without a high risk of injury.
Roho mattress pads are also much easier to transport and install than most other mattress pads, making them perfect for use on road trips and in hotel rooms to provide added comfort.
Roho mattress pads can take some of the pressure off of sore or broken areas of skin, and allow that part of the skin to rest and give it the time it needs to heal up.

Conclusion – Roho Cushions
Overall, Roho cushions are meant to provide additional comfort to people confined to one position (either seated or lying down) for long periods of time.
Roho cushions are quite versatile in a variety of situations be it someone looking to take some of the pressure off of a sore hip after a long day of work or a patient who is in intensive recovery at the hospital.
With a durable design that is specially created to help reduce the pressure that is placed on the surface of the skin, as well as to encourage circulation, Roho mattress pads can help increase the speed of recovery in patients who have recently undergone surgery, as well as reduce the risk for skin sores and other long term bed rest related injuries.
For people who spend a large portion of their day in a wheelchair, Roho wheelchair cushions can provide a welcome rest to the base of the wheelchair seat, and can help return a level of freedom to individuals who suffer from mobility-related concerns.

We report on the simulation and characterisation of compound phase-shifted fiber Bragg structures for use as novel in-fiber magneto-optical point sensors. Through simulation we show that the Faraday rotation spectra of phase-shifted gratings can be tailored by tuning the ratio of substructure lengths. A design process for tailoring the magneto-optical spectrum is illustrated, and it is shown that a general optimum structure exists for producing a region of total reflection incorporating magneto-optical Faraday rotation that is enhanced both in strength and spectral width. A practical optical fiber system that exploits the proposed distributed feedback (DFB) structures to enable novel all-fiber sensors for the dual measurement of magnetic field strength and temperature is described in detail, and the sensor response is simulated. The study is supported by laboratory fabrication of the proposed fiber DFB structures which demonstrates the principle of enhancement in terms of tailored group delay spectra and highlights practical issues for sensor packaging.

The following data is extracted from Genealogy and Biography of Ontario County, New York.
The surname Hayes is the plural form of an ancient word, Hay, or Haw, which means a fence, a hedge or a boundary, also a space enclosed, as a park or field. Its derivation can be traced to many European languages wherein both the primitive and secondary meanings are precisely the same. From this simple root have sprung the names of Hay, Hayes, Haywood or Heywood, Hayland, Greenhays and many others of a similar character. The name of Hayes is to be found both in England and Scotland, but is far more common in the former than it is in the latter country. The New England colonial records of the seventeenth century contain the names of four immigrants of this name : Thomas Hayes, of Milford, Connecticut (1641), descendants of whom removed to Newark, New Jersey; Nathaniel, who was of Norwalk. Connecticut (1651) ; John, of Dover, New Hampshire, who came from Scotland in 1680; and George, of Windsor, Connecticut, who, tradition asserts, was a brother of the preceding John. The Hayes of Canandaigua, New York, who form the principal subject of this article, are descended from the Windsor settler.
(I) George Hayes, who arrived in New England about the year 1680, and probably was about twenty-five years old at the time of his immigration, first settled in Windsor, Connecticut, whence he removed in 1698 to that part of Simsbury, Connecticut, which is now (1911)Granby. In a manuscript record written or dictated by his grandson, Ezekiel Hayes, of New Haven, he is referred to as follows: "Went from Scotland to Derbyshire, England, and lived with his uncle. He was anxious to see London, whither he went. Having received some account of America, he took passage for this country." George Hayes' residence in Simsbury was in the locality known as Salmon Brook, and he died there. September 2, 1725. Although he was not active in public affairs his name frequently appears in the early town records of Simsbury in connection with land transactions, assessments, "minister's rates, " etc., and from these it may be inferred that he was pious, thrifty and in every way a worthy citizen. His first wife, whose Christian name was Sarah and whose surname is illegible on the Windsor records, died early in 1683. and the children of this union died young. At Windsor, August 29, 1683, he married (second) Abigail Dibble, only daughter of Samuel, granddaughter of Thomas, and great-granddaughter of Robert Dibble, who arrived from England in 1635, settling in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Children, born in Windsor: 1. Abigail, August 31. 1684; married Paul Tompkins. 2. Daniel, born April 26, 1686. 3. Sarah, January 22, 1687-8; married John Gosard (or Gozzard), son of Nicholas and Elizabeth Gozzard, of Windsor. 4. Mary, born January 6, 1689-90; married, August 28, 1712, William Rice. 5. Joanna, born October 2. 1692; died after 1780; married James Hillyer, of Simsbury. 6. George. horn March 9, 1695. 7. William, born June 13, 1697, in Simsbury. 8. Samuel, mentioned below. 9. Thankful, born 1700-01 ; married, October 9, 1717, Nathaniel Holcombe. 10. Benjamin, born 1702-03. 11. Dorothy, 1706; married Abraham Dibble, her first cousin.

Combining the verbal and the visual to improve retention.
Dual-coding theory suggests that both visual and verbal information is used to represent information. Visual and verbal information are processed differently and along distinct channels in the human mind, creating separate representations for information processed in each channel. With this in mind, each year group have created a Dual Coding schema for each of their topics. The schema is made up of simple, meaningful images linked with words which organises the content that will be learnt throughout the topic. Please click on your child's year group below to see the Dual Coding schema for their topic.

A canonical correlation analysis based method for contamination event detection in water sources†
In this study, a general framework integrating a data-driven estimation model is employed for contamination event detection in water sources. Sequential canonical correlation coefficients are updated in the model using multivariate water quality time series. The proposed method utilizes canonical correlation analysis for studying the interplay between two sets of water quality parameters. The model is assessed by precision, recall and F-measure. The proposed method is tested using data from a laboratory contaminant injection experiment. The proposed method could detect a contamination event 1 minute after the introduction of 1.600 mg l−1 acrylamide solution. With optimized parameter values, the proposed method can correctly detect 97.50% of all contamination events with no false alarms. The robustness of the proposed method can be explained using the Bauer–Fike theorem.

The layout of all the cells has been converted to CIF format in 0.13µm technology. It can be found at
pharosc/magic/cif
The CIF files have been written from Magic and then hacked with a script
pharosc/alliance/bin/make_alliance_cif
which
The CIF format only defines layout geometries, so extra features like an abutment box and text are defined with user extensions. Alliance uses an extension coming originally from the company VLSI Technology. Magic uses an extension from Mead and Conway. This is why a script is needed to put an Alliance abutment box into a CIF file written from Magic.
Magic also doesn't understand REF geometries so these too have to be put in with a script.
The CIF files have the diffusion geometries both as separate N and P diffusions and as a single diffusion layer with separate N and P implant layers. The layer definitions can be found in the file
pharosc/alliance/etc/vsc200.rds
in the section TABLE CIF_LAYER.
These are the MOSIS layer definitions, not the Alliance ones.
The CIF files can be viewed with Dreal. The right environment can be set up by sourcing the README file in each CIF directory. The example on the right shows the CIF layout of the vsclib an2v0x1 cell in 0.13µm with separate N and P diffusions and as a single diffusion layer with separate N and P implant layers.

The students with their invention
A group of seniors from the Department of Electronic Engineering at The American University in Cairo (AUC) recently unveiled their newest invention, a conceptual prototype of an automatic meter reading (AMR), a system which reads household power consumption and relays the information gathered to personal electronic devices. Under the supervision of Ayman Hassan, an adjunct in the department, the group collaborated to create the device that automatically sends accurate readings to personal electronics, including a PC or cell phone. The inventors say that this device can also be used to send the information to the Ministry of Electricity and Energy to keep track of the readings.
The members of the six-man team are enthusiastic about the potential benefits of their invention. Amr Henna believes innovations such as this one are overdue and could benefit the Egyptian economy. "After the January 25th revolution we need to catch up with the latest international electronic trends that use automated systems and have them produced in Egypt. This will reduce the market price tremendously," he says. Ahmed Megawer, another team-member, agrees that "it is high time that we pick up with the smart systems invented worldwide. Power failures like the ones we experienced last summer could have been avoided if consumption had been monitored." Sherif Mourad considers the potential benefit of accurate readings for cash-strapped families. "Consumers should stop guessing the numbers of their power consumption and they should be positive that they are paying money only for the consumed amounts as determined by accurate readings."
According to Ahmed Abou-Auf, chair of the Department of Electronic Engineering, the system has further applications in that it can record power consumption in remote areas and large towers that are difficult to reach. In addition, it allows for households to monitor their energy usage independently, giving them knowledge, that, he says, can empower the families to change their consumption behavior. Abou-Auf says the students will continue to produce production prototypes, conduct additional market research, and develop a business plan. The university will provide all the labs and research material needed and facilitate funding from investors.


What is the 2 letters after the account name for address books?
 - Hi,
 assume I have an CardDAV account named "account" with an address book called "Accounts Addresses" (Baikal server, if that matters).
 I my contacts app I now see something like "Accounts Addresses (account xy)" in the address book selection. What is that "xy"? It seem to be 2 random letters (containing uppercase/lowercase/numbers).
 - developer
 Please see here: _URL_
 DAVdroid address books accounts: They're named after the CardDAV address book which they are connected to, plus a hash of the URL, for instance: My addresses (UA). The hash is necessary when there are two address books with the same name. The address book account names will be shown in your contacts app as possible destinations for contacts.
 and here: _URL_
 Without the hash (the two letters), it would not be possible to have two address books with the same name (e.g. "Address book") in two different CardDAV accounts.

Abstract: Utilization of fibers for soil stabilization is one of the effective and economical methods to enhance the engineering properties of soil. This paper aims to evaluate the potential capability of stabilizing locally available laterite soil with waste polymer sack fibers thereby making it more suitable for the manufacture of compressed stabilized earth block (CSEB). Tests were conducted with Polypropylene (PP) sack fibers of lengths 1cm, 1.5cm, 2cm each of 2mm width in constant fiber – soil ratio of 0.15. The experimental analysis suggests that the optimal aspect ratio is 7.5 and the sack fibers with 1.5cm length and 2mm width were selected as the constituent for developing CSEB. This study also contributes to sustainable construction techniques by utilizing plastic waste for producing building material thereby addressing the current environmental crisis as well.

Lots of questions are being raised about food's carbon footprint, that's why the Louis Bonduelle Foundation suggests you take a look at which vegetables are in season in which hemisphere at certain times of the year.
How can you eat sustainably?
Growing vegetables out of season consumes a lot of energy because you grow them in artificial conditions and need resources (like heat, water and nutrients). The carbon footprint is the same if not greater than when you transport food.
Cucumbers can be naturally grown in the northern hemisphere from March to June, whereas you'll find them more easily in the southern hemisphere from October through December. Always choose seasonal vegetables, wherever you live, depending on the month!
Sustainable consumption means striking the right balance between your needs and your food choices.
Watch those 4 animations to discover some examples of seasonal vegetables for different times of the year and where to find them!

An unpublished manuscript, entitled The Richmond Group of the Cincinnati Province, compiled by the late William H. Shideler, has been made available by the Division of Geological Survey as Open-File Report 95-1. Dr. Shideler was a professor of geology at Miami University from 1910 to 1957. He died in 1958.
The information in the manuscript was compiled by Shideler over a period of 17 years; he spent five summers during the 1920's in the employ of the Ohio Geological Survey. For 10 years, Shideler annually visited a series of classic exposures of highly fossiliferous Upper Ordovician rocks in southwestern Ohio and made extensive collections of fossils at these sections. From these data he was able to establish extensive faunal lists for each section and compile range charts for various species.
Shideler's typewritten manuscript was edited by Joe H. Marak, curator of the Carl E. Limper Geology Museum at Miami University. Marak notes that the manuscript is outdated, particularly in regard to the names of many fossil species, but will still be very useful to geologists and fossil collectors.
The 96-page report describes 26 exposures of Richmondian rocks in the Cincinnati area and includes an extensive index. Open-File Report 95-1 is available from the Division of Geological Surveys. Credit-card orders may be placed by calling _PHONE_.

849. Maximize Distance to Closest Person
Problem Description
In this problem, we are provided with an array seats that represents a row of seats. Each seat can be either occupied (denoted by 1) or empty (denoted by 0). We know that there is at least one empty seat and at least one occupied seat in the array. The objective is to find a seat for Alex where, if he sits down, the distance to the nearest person already seated is as large as possible. The distance is defined as the number of seats between Alex's seat and the closest seated person, and we need to maximize this distance to ensure maximum possible personal space for Alex. Our goal is to calculate and return this maximum distance.
Intuition
The intuition behind the solution is to identify the longest stretch of consecutive empty seats, with consideration of the edge cases where the longest stretch might actually start at the beginning of the row or end at the last seat in the row.
Here are key insights to form a strategy:
 1. Identify stretches of empty seats and find the longest stretch. This corresponds to finding the largest gap between two occupied seats.
 2. Special consideration for the first and last seats: If the first or last seats are empty, the gap is counted from the edge of the row to the first or last occupied seat respectively. This needs special handling since the "distance" in this case is not halved—it is taken as the entire length of the stretch.
 3. Find the longest stretch: To maximize the distance to the nearest person, Alex can sit exactly in the middle of the longest stretch of empty seats. The maximum distance to the closest person would then be half the length of this longest stretch. However, if this stretch is at the beginning or end of the row, he will sit at the first or last available seat, resulting in the distance being the entire length of this stretch.
The approach to solving the problem involves iterating through the seats array to identify the first and last occupied seats, and in the process, also recording the maximum distance between two consecutive occupied seats. The maximum distance Alex can sit away from the closest person would then be the maximum of the following three values:
 - The distance from the start of the row to the first occupied seat.
 - The distance from the last occupied seat to the end of the row.
 - Half the distance of the longest stretch of empty seats between two occupied seats (since Alex would sit exactly in the middle of this stretch).
This method efficiently calculates the optimal seat for Alex in a single pass through the seats array, avoiding the need for multiple iterations or complex calculations.
Solution Approach
The solution approach involves a single pass through the row of seats using a for-loop. During this pass, the code keeps track of the index of the first and last occupied seats, as well as the distance to the last occupied seat seen so far when examining each seat. The following elements contribute to the solution:
Variables Used:
 - first: This holds the index of the first occupied seat found in the row. Initially, it is set to None.
 - last: This stores the index of the most recently found occupied seat as we iterate through the seats. It is also initially set to None.
 - d: This variable maintains the maximum distance between two occupied seats as the iteration progresses. We initialize it to 0.
The Algorithm:
 1. Iterate through the seats array with the index i and the value c using the enumerate function, which provides both the index and value during the iteration.
 2. Check if the current seat c is occupied (i.e., c is 1):
 - If an occupied seat is found and it's not the first one (last is not None), update d with the maximum value between the current d and the difference between the current index i and the index of the last occupied seat last.
 - If this is the first occupied seat found (first is None), store its index in first.
 - Update last with the current index i because it is the latest occupied seat.
 3. After completing the iteration, calculate the maximum distance Alex can be from the closest person by taking the maximum of three potential values:
 - The distance from the start of the row to the first occupied seat (first).
 - The distance from the last occupied seat to the end of the row (len(seats) - last - 1).
 - Half the distance of the longest stretch of empty seats between two occupied seats (d // 2).
The Code:
1class Solution:
2 def maxDistToClosest(self, seats: List[int]) -> int:
3 first = last = None
4 d = 0
5 for i, c in enumerate(seats):
6 if c:
7 if last is not None:
8 d = max(d, i - last)
9 if first is None:
10 first = i
11 last = i
12 return max(first, len(seats) - last - 1, d // 2)
This implementation uses a greedy approach to find the maximum distance in an efficient manner. No additional data structure is required aside from a few variables to keep track of indices and the maximum distance found. Because of this, the space complexity is O(1), and since we are iterating through the array only once, the time complexity is O(n), where n is the number of seats in the row.

Depth first search can be used to find whether two components in a graph are connected.
Example Walkthrough
Imagine we have an array seats that looks like this: [0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0].
To apply our solution approach, let's walk through the algorithm step by step:
 1. Initialize: first = last = None and d = 0.
 2. Begin iterating through the seats array with indices and values.
 3. At index 0, the seat is empty, so no changes are made.
 4. At index 1, the seat is occupied so:
 - Since this is the first occupied seat we've found, set first to the current index (first = 1).
 - Update last to be the current index as well (last = 1).
 5. Continue iterating. Seats 2 and 3 are empty, so no changes.
 6. At index 4, we encounter another occupied seat.
 - Since last is not None, we calculate the distance from the previous occupied seat at index 1 to the current seat at index 4, which yields a distance of 3. Update d to be the maximum of 0 and 3, so d = 3.
 - Update last to the current index (last = 4).
 7. Move on to seat 5 which is empty, so no changes.
 8. At index 6, there is another occupied seat.
 - Again, calculate the distance (1) and compare it with d. Since 1 is less than 3, we do not update d.
 - Update last to 6.
 9. Seats 7, 8, and 9 are empty, so no changes occur during these steps.
Once we've finished iterating through the array, we consider the maximum distance from the following:
 - The distance from the start of the row to the first occupied seat (first = 1).
 - The distance from the last occupied seat to the end of the row (len(seats) - last - 1 = 10 - 6 - 1 = 3).
 - Half the distance of the longest stretch of empty seats between two occupied seats (d // 2 = 3 // 2 = 1).
The maximum of these values is 3, which is accounted for by both the distance from the last occupied seat to the end of the row and from the first seat in the row to the first occupied seat. Alex can choose either seat at the start or the end of the row for the maximum distance to the closest person, hence we return 3 as the result.
Here's the walkthrough reflected in the provided code:
1class Solution:
2 def maxDistToClosest(self, seats: List[int]) -> int:
3 first = last = None
4 d = 0
5 for i, c in enumerate(seats):
6 if c:
7 if last is not None:
8 d = max(d, i - last) # At index 4 and index 1, d becomes 3
9 if first is None:
10 first = i # At index 1, first becomes 1
11 last = i # Updates at indices 1, 4, and 6
12 return max(first, len(seats) - last - 1, d // 2) # Returns max(1, 3, 1) which is 3
By iterating through the array only once and using a simple set of variables to keep track, we find the maximum distance where Alex can sit with a time complexity of O(n) and a space complexity of O(1).
Solution Implementation
1class Solution:
2 def maxDistToClosest(self, seats: List[int]) -> int:
3 # Initialize the first occupied seat index and last occupied seat index to None
4 first_occupied_seat_index = None
5 last_occupied_seat_index = None
6 max_distance = 0 # Initialize the maximum distance to 0
7
8 # Iterate over each seat and its index in the seats list
9 for i, seat in enumerate(seats):
10 # Check if the seat is occupied
11 if seat == 1:
12 # If there was a previously occupied seat, calculate the distance between
13 # the current occupied seat and the last occupied seat and

A new custom-made pontoon boat in the University of Saskatchewan (USask) Department of Biology is helping students get hands-on experience studying the lakes of Saskatchewan.
Funded in part by donors, the teaching and research vessel is the result of a multi-year fundraising campaign led by Dr. Jeff Hudson (PhD), professor of biology in the College of Arts and Science.
Seven students in the USask undergraduate course BIOL 412 joined Hudson for the first official voyage of the boat in September to learn practical skills in the field of limnology—the study of inland waters.
"This ties what they're learning in the classroom to what's going on in the natural world around them," said Hudson. "They actually absorb the material and hold onto it longer."
On Sept. 10 and 11, the class visited Blackstrap Lake and Martins Lake, Sask., to learn methods for collecting samples of water, plankton, sediment and more from the lakes. Later, in a laboratory on the USask campus, the students analyzed their samples to gain knowledge of lake ecosystems and water quality.
"It was super cool. I kind of realized that as much learning as you do in the classroom, you don't learn as much as when you're actually out there hands-on observing and doing things yourself," said Emily Bodnar, a fourth-year environmental biology student who joined the field trip.
The limnology course has a long history of providing students with experiential learning, but the new teaching boat makes the annual field trip a much better experience.
"In the past, it was a bit of a struggle," said Hudson.
In previous years, about five boats would be brought onto the lakes and tied together. The students would have to pass equipment between boats while Hudson shouted instructions.
The new 7.8-metre pontoon boat is large enough to fit an entire class. Its deck is laid out with custom seating to make room for students and the assortment of sampling equipment needed on the field trip.
"It's just so much more comfortable, so much more efficient in terms of communication and moving equipment around," said Hudson.
Limnology is a very important topic, Hudson said, because it deals with water quality—a critical issue in Canada.
Despite this importance, field programs have been declining at post-secondary institutions across Canada due to the large investment of teaching time and money they require.
"However, with the myriad of environmental issues we face globally, we have to reverse this trend and return to training youth about their natural world 'in' the natural world. This connection between humans and the natural environment is broken, at a time when we need it more than ever," said Hudson.
Having practical experience in limnology is a major boon to students seeking jobs in water quality and related fields, Hudson added.
Students on the trip used a variety of tools and techniques for studying inland waters, ranging from large nets for catching plankton near the surface to Secchi discs for measuring the transparency of the water.
Bodnar's favourite tool was the Ekman grab used to retrieve samples of material from the lakebed. A metal box with hinged jaws on its bottom, the device drags up sediment and bottom-dwelling invertebrate animals from the deepest parts of a lake.
The foul-smelling muck can give scientists valuable information about the condition of an ecosystem or the presence of contaminants.
Bre Hipkin, another student majoring in environmental biology, enjoyed sampling plankton using Wisconsin nets.
"It's a pretty easy practice, but it's really interesting to see how much data it gives you about the lake health and what kind of organisms are living in it," she said. "It was a really fun trip. It seems like it's going to be a really interesting class."
The new boat cost just over $60,000 and was supported by donations from Saskatchewan Walleye Trail, Fishing for Tomorrow Foundation, Pally Performance Products, Jeff Hudson, Scott Halpin, AMD Manufacturing, and Ted and Marie Hammer. The College of Arts and Science and the Department of Biology also provided funding for the purchase.
"This teaching vessel wouldn't be possible without the funding we've had from the donors," said Hudson.
The new boat is named the Hudson-Hammer-Rawson Limnology Teaching Vessel, or HHR, in honour of the three limnologists hired by the Department of Biology since its founding: Hudson, Dr. Ted Hammer (PhD) and Dr. Donald Rawson (PhD).
Donations are still being accepted for upgrades and enhancements to the boat. Donor inquiries can be sent to _EMAIL_.


Human Intruder Detection (HIDS)
Monitoring the baggage system at the airside/landside boundary to prevent unauthorised or accidental intrusion thus creating a secure airside zone.
The landside/airside boundary is meant to be a barrier that prevents unauthorised people being where they shouldn't however due to the way an airport operates there must be holes in that boundary to allow or people or bags to travel back and forth. Whilst personnel access can be easily monitored/controlled the challenge with baggage handling is identifying human intrusion whilst allowing bag movement without false alarming.
Using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based belt monitoring system is a new way to tackle the problem of human (and child) intrusion through the baggage system.
With machine learning algorithms at the heart of the solution, and using multiple technologies, the system has been taught the difference between bags and humans and over time the system continues to learn the difference between what is a bag and what is a human, getting more and more accurate.
This means that it is not affected by any of the problems associated with just thermal based systems such as hot bags causing false alarms and needing regular recalibration or light curtain based systems which won't detect a human attached to a bag or underneath a bag. The system can also be applied to detect other anomalies within the baggage system such as bags left lying around, multiple bags in a single tray or bags falling off trays from tilt tray sorters.
The system is easily deployed to cover the baggage system using off the shelf components and architecture. As with other Saconsys solutions we believe that in order to maintain uptime and control costs we teach and support the airport to maintain the equipment – this means no costly maintenance contracts or waiting for engineers to attend site.
The system is also scalable meaning that you can add as you go along rather than having to make a large investment on day one.

.NET/Link: Controlling the Kernel from .Net
Author
Andreas Lauschke
Organization: Andreas Lauschke Consulting
Conference
2005 Wolfram Technology Conference
Conference location
Champaign IL
Description
The talk will highlight some of the features that .NET/Link provides for calling into the Mathematica kernel from a C# program. Several examples of instant visualizations in .Net, Java, and applet windows will be shown, as well as using the Mathematica kernel as the computation engine for data-intensive computation tasks that hand the results back to the controlling C# program.
.NET/Link makes it very easy to pop up .Net windows of various types with user-defined properties in a highly flexible manner. Only a few lines of code are required to display typeset, graphical, and animated results/calculations. These can run in either the same .Net runtime (for manipulation of the objects by the controlling C# program) or in a separate one. Additionally, by linking to a Java runtime via J/Link, it becomes very easy and straightforward to make use of applets found on the web to instantly display output of results using features the applets provide. Several interfaces/wrapper functions, both in C# and in Mathematica, will be shown.
With .NET/Link, the C# program can effectively be used as the controlling program for the Mathematica kernel, while still using .Net or Java methods from the kernel in a separate .Net or Java runtime to make use of their methods, or applets. That way, the Mathematica kernel can be thought of as a huge math library that integrates seamlessly with the controlling C# program or as a controlling program itself that manages .Net or Java output. Mathematica packages extend these functionalities even more and, with the GUIKit package as an example, additional user-interface elements can be used from the .Net program in a very flexible and code-efficient manner.

Why does red meat turn white with cooking?
Ginny Smith cooked up an answer to this culinary question...
Ginny - When you think about meat, it's made of protein and when protein is heated, the shape of it changes. Normally, it's quite a long molecule. But, as it's heated, it actually shrinks. So, if you imagine cooking a chicken breast, you see that as it cooks, it gets smaller and it also changes colour and this is because of the change in the proteins. We say they denature and that's when they go white and they scrunch up and shrink. Red meat contains an iron-rich chemical called "myoglobin" which also changes its shape when it cooks and changes colour from red when it's raw to sort of brownish grey when it's fully cooked.
If you're cooking red meat, sometimes you get a lovely brown colour on the outside and that really tasty meat smell that always makes you hungry. This happens because there's something called the maillard reaction. This is a chemical reaction between the amino acids found in the protein and some sugars, and it requires heat to occur. So, the temperature has to get up to about 154 degrees for the maillard reaction to occur and obviously, this is higher than the boiling point of water. So that means that if there's too much water in your meat or if your pan isn't hot enough, this browning won't occur. Your meat instead will cook in the water and it will just turn to light brownish grey colour, without you getting any of that lovely, crispy brown outside.

Stand Up Maths and the Festival of the Spoken Nerd
with Matt Parker, Festival of the Spoken Nerd
Matt Parker, the stand-up mathematician joins us this week! He's currently on tour promoting a light-hearted view of science and maths as part of the
Festival of the Spoken Nerd. Hello Matt, tell us a little bit about you...
Matt - As you've mentioned, I sit in a middle of a very weird Venn diagram. I work doing proper maths communication, so I'm based at Queen Mary University of London in the maths department, but I also work doing stand-up comedy. And so, this tour is a combination of both those things. We get to do maths live on stage for comedy audiences.
Chris - The two wouldn't normally be regarded as good bed fellows.
Matt - No and we're very excited that we actually get to take this on a tour because we started just doing a monthly night in London where there were 3 of us - myself, and other stand-ups Steve Mould and Helen Arney. We began just doing the really nerdy comedy and experiments, and music that we enjoy. And people started to show up to watch it, and we gradually got bigger and bigger audiences, and we started selling out bigger venues. And now, we're being taken on a 22-date tour all across the UK.
Chris - For the first time.
Matt - Yeah, this is it. So, this is our first ever tour. We're going out, bringing live nerdery to the people.
Chris - Who comes along and listens to maths comedy?
Matt - Well, we try to be very inclusive. We do obviously attract a wide spread with some extreme values of nerds. So hard-core nerds show up and believe me, there is something in there for them, but they tend to also bring friends, partners and members of their family who are not as nerdy. And so, we've worked very hard to make sure that this is also a legitimate comedy show. So you can come, you can enjoy the show without having got a very good 'A' level in maths.
Chris - Or with a very bad 'A' level. How do you actually make maths funny? Tell us a bit about the content of the show, what sorts of things do you discuss?
Matt - We try, in this show, to do all the sciences. We try to do a little bit of physics, so we've got a flame tube which is this flame "graphic equaliser" and we can put different frequencies into it and it responds different ways. I will be solving a Rubik's cube live on stage. I'll also be doing a very dangerous experiment. I'm recreating one of Michael Faradays' experiments from the Royal Institution where I'm using parabolas to set things on fire. So, it's just all our favourite nerdy things that we can do on stage, occasionally involving fire.
Chris - Now listeners who are listening very carefully may have noted that you don't sound local. So how do you come to be here doing this because you're originally from Australia, aren't you? Western Australia?
Matt - Yes, I do strange things to vowels. I'm from Perth originally where I studied and went to the University of Western Australia, where I did physics, and then went on to do maths, and after that, I became a secondary maths teacher. I moved to London about 8 years ago to teach maths and I've gradually shifted from being a normal - I use the word 'normal' carefully - maths teacher in schools into working part-time for a university and also doing comedy part-time.
Chris - It's quite brave of Queen Mary University of London to say, "let's actually make a job around this sort of thing."
Matt - Queen Mary have been incredibly supportive. So, I'm their public engagement in maths fellow, and so, a lot of my job is to communicate maths to other people. I do a lot of maths writing and things like this, lots of mass media, but I also work with the academics and the students. And so, a decent amount of my job is training and working with the undergraduates to help them communicate maths to other people and to go into schools and work with young people. I also work with the academics to help them communicate the research they're doing to other people who may not know as much maths.
Chris - Do you actually have any evidence as to whether this translates into a tangible benefit, a measurable benefit for QMUL? In other words, do you see a lot more people applying into maths as undergraduates than you would've done, were you not there?
Matt - Well, Queen Mary do keep a close eye on where people apply from and they can try to find out how they heard about it, but that's much harder to get to. So, we do track numbers of people applying and we do track where they live when they apply to the university, but all the work that I do is not focused just on getting people to come to Queen Mary - although I'm biased, I think it's a great maths department. My goal and in fact, all the outreach work we do at Queen Mary, is to get people excited to do Maths or something science related, but we don't mind which university they go to. We just want more young people going into the science subjects.
What happens when a moving plane drops a parcel?
Matt - You wouldn't be doing the equations of motion for projectiles, would you Tilly?
Tilly - Yes.
Matt - Right, so how fast is that package going to fall as you release it?
Tilly - I don't know.
Matt - So, this is the teacher in me. I try and talk the student through the question! Initially, it doesn't matter how fast you're going forward. If you let go of this package, it's not going down at all, yet, because gravity hasn't yet kicked in. And so it's going to start [with a velocity of] zero. So, if you put down your starting velocity as zero. It's then going to accelerate according to gravity which is about 9.81 meters per second squared. Do you know which equation you have to use to work out how long it's going to take to hit the ground?
Tilly - I'm not sure. Time taken. so maybe S = ut + Ã?,½at2?
Matt - S = ut + Ã?,½at2... What's the other one? Is it v2=u2+2as?
Tilly - Yes.
Matt - It's amazing. These things just get locked in your muscle memory. So, right what you want to do now is write down...(I feel like I'm just doing tutoring live on the air. This is great for you and me, Tilly, but everyone else is getting a bit bored.) You need to write down everything you know. So you know your starting velocity, you know your acceleration, you know the distance it has to travel, and you want to find out the time. And so, which of these equations has U and S, and A, and T in it? That would be the one that you read out to me [S = ut + Ã?,½at2].
So now, if you put all your numbers into that equation in theory, so it's going to be 2002=0(time)+Ã?,½ at2 and acceleration is about 10... So it's around about. the square root of 8,000 seconds

Technical details of the SandMaster
Keeps the sand bed clean when in operation.
Fouling monitoring & automatic control
The level sensor in the inlet distribution compartment monitors the fouling of the sand filter. This level sensor first adjusts the auger speed of the sand washer. When it reaches its maximum speed it will proceed by closing the intake valve, enabling the sand washers to catch up with sand cleaning.
After the auger speed and water level have dropped to their minimum levels, the water intake is resumed.
Even sand distribution
Sand washers travel horizontally over the sand bed ensuring even distribution of the sand over the sand bed.

An intelligent semi-active isolation system based on ground motion characteristic prediction
Tzu Kang Lin, Lyan Ywan Lu, Chia En Hsiao, Dong You Lee
研究成果: Article同行評審
摘要
This study proposes an intelligent semi-active isolation system combining a variable-stiffness control device and ground motion characteristic prediction. To determine the optimal control parameter in real-time, a genetic algorithm (GA)-fuzzy control law was developed in this study. Data on various types of ground motions were collected, and the ground motion characteristics were quantified to derive a near-fault (NF) characteristic ratio by employing an on-site earthquake early warning system. On the basis of the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and the derived NF ratio, a fuzzy inference system (FIS) was developed. The control parameters were optimized using a GA. To support continuity under near-fault and far-field ground motions, the optimal control parameter was linked with the predicted PGA and NF ratio through the FIS. The GA-fuzzy law was then compared with other control laws to verify its effectiveness. The results revealed that the GA-fuzzy control law could reliably predict different ground motion characteristics for real-time control because of the high sensitivity of its control parameter to the ground motion characteristics. Even under near-fault and far-field ground motions, the GA-fuzzy control law outperformed the FPEEA control law in terms of controlling the isolation layer displacement and the superstructure acceleration

Abstract
The approach of the complex network has well described seismic complex systems. In this paper, this is the first time three classical network construction methods for seismicity are compared. By using the same dataset from the Southern California Seismic Network, three networks are constructed. They all present the scale-free, small-world properties, a strength-degree correlation, and an assortative mixing feature. However, they show some differences in the hierarchical clustering feature. On observing the evolution results, three measures show a similar correlation with seismicity dynamics, but one measure shows a different result. These results show that different network construction methods will present some similarities and differences in network properties. This situation needs to be considered, especially when discussing a predictive indicator of seismicity.

In addition to fresh foods, many canned foods also provide nutrient-dense dietary options, often at a lower price, with longer storage potential. The aim of this study was to compare nutrient-dense food group intake and nutrient intake between different levels of canned food consumption in the US. Consumption data were collected for this cross-sectional study from 9761 American canned food consumers (aged two years and older) from The NPD Group's National Eating Trends®
) database during 2011–2013; and the data were assessed using The NPD Group's Nutrient Intake Database. Canned food consumers were placed into three groups: Frequent Can Users (≥6 canned items/week); n
= 2584, Average Can Users (3–5 canned items/week); n
= 4445, and Infrequent Can Users (≤2 canned items/week); n
= 2732. The results provide evidence that Frequent Can Users consume more nutrient-dense food groups such as fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and protein-rich foods, and also have higher intakes of 17 essential nutrients including the shortfall nutrients—potassium, calcium and fiber—when compared to Infrequent Can Users. Therefore, in addition to fresh foods, diets higher in nutrient-dense canned food consumption can also offer dietary options which improve nutrient intakes and the overall diet quality of Americans.

Digital Taxation Monitor now on our Tax Research Platform (TRP)
We have recently created the Digital Taxation Monitor covering the taxation of digitalized economy. It will initially comprise of 60 country tables regarding current unilateral measures and VAT measures per country. It also covers the supranational discussions and measures adopted by the OECD, EU and UN. It follows-up on the current worldwide debate and possible agreement on the tax treatment of digitalized businesses and it will monitor the implementation per country of an eventual global solution.
In one overview, you can easily compare measures by country, organization or tax type, with detailed comments on the important aspects of (direct and indirect) taxes targeting the digitalized economy. The monitor covers essentials such as taxpayers, taxable base, tax rates, method of collection, registration requirements and other compliance obligations. But it also includes the country context (such as the country position on the global discussion and status of US investigations on the country's digital tax). Links to country and topical analyses, laws and to journal articles provide you with further information on jurisdictions to support your research and business decisions.
The Digital Taxation Monitor supports your research and business decisions by providing the following benefits:
- Comprehensive: helps keeping track of the variety of taxes out there that apply to the digitalized economy!
- Regular updates: get the latest news ensuring you do not miss out on anything that could present an issue in a country you are dealing with.
- Anticipate: helps you to decide on how best to structure your company such as changing the way you do business to keep control or revise your business entity structure.
- Compliance: are countries implementing measures that you need to report?
- Enhance your understanding: what definitions are used and what is the reasoning behind certain digital taxes? Whom might they affect, what are the exceptions and are there intercompany aspects to consider?
- Compare: quick side-by-side comparisons or export functionality enabling you to group countries that have indirect tax obligations or to extract withholding taxation measures across the globe from this and other IBFD tables.
The following examples, based on the Digital Taxation Monitor, helps you understand how each country is moving forward in what concerns the taxation of digitalized economy.
Let's say you are a tax manager at a multinational enterprise with its headquarters in the United States. The enterprise provides digital services and sells goods through online platforms directly to customers in Brazil, France, India, Italy, Japan, Kenya and Mexico. As a tax director, you are aware of the discussions concerning the taxation of the digitalized economy and that some countries have been implementing specific measures and taxes targeting transactions carried out via digital channels. You want to ascertain if this is the case for the countries with which your enterprise maintains online business.
You are particularly interested in having information on the implementation of taxes in your market countries that may affect your enterprise, such as digital service taxes in France and Kenya or the equalization levy in India, new taxable presence risks such as in the case of a significant economic presence in Italy, and special VAT/GST collection mechanisms and compliance obligations for e-commerce, such as the ones in the new EU VAT e-commerce package, effective since 1 July 2021 in EU Member States you maintain online businesses with. You also want to keep track of the developments concerning the US investigations into some digital taxes, the discussions on a global solution and its eventual implementation by your market countries. The Digital Taxation Monitor gives you an overview of the proposed and implemented measures targeting the digitalized economy and the follow-up of the global solution debate and its implementation per country.
For your main concerns with taxation of income or revenue derived by the enterprise from its online business directly with customers in the market countries, Section A of the Digital Taxation Monitor provides you with information on the taxes proposed or implemented in the country, including digital service taxes, withholding taxes, equalization levy or taxation of significant economic presence.
Indirect Tax and other types of taxes
In Section B, you get information on the VAT/GST measures concerning B2B and B2C e-commerce transactions carried out with the market countries of the enterprise, including applicable compliance obligations and registration requirements. If the market country proposed or applies other types of taxes or contributions to digital transactions, such as in the case of digital contributions proposals currently considered in one of your market countries, i.e. Brazil, you will find this under Section C of the table.
The Digital Taxation Monitor gives you the possibility to see the information of different countries side-by-side, through a comparison tool. In this case, you will be able to compare the tax information of your market countries and identify, for example, those with the highest and lowest tax and compliance burden affecting online businesses.
Updates on a global solution
You are interested not only in the tax technical information of the specific taxes, but also in the context and future of the taxation of the digitalized economy in those market countries. The monitor provides you with additional information on the position of the countries in the current discussions on a possible global solution (for example, the latest G7 agreement signed by two of your market countries, i.e. Italy and Japan) as well as the status of US investigations conducted into taxes implemented by some of your market countries (Brazil, India and Italy). You will also be able to follow up the eventual global solution on the matter by checking the information in the Digital Taxation Monitor table for the OECD and how this solution will be implemented by each of your market countries, including the phasing-out of their unilateral measures.
Finally, if you wish to dive deeper, the Digital Taxation Monitor is also interlinked with other collections available on IBFD's Tax Research Platform, such as country tax guides, Tax News Service (TNS) reports, primary source materials and many journal articles.

Sequencing the Zoo
For their DNA Zoo, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are sequencing the DNA of more than a thousand species, Texas Monthly reports. It adds that the researchers there, led by Erez Lieberman Aiden, hope to help enable endangered species to persist.
According to Texas Monthly, the project began in 2011 and has amassed samples from 4,234 animals, encompassing 1,105 species. Most of these samples, it notes, have come from zoos or aquariums, and can help ensure that mating animals aren't too closely related and preserve endangered species' genetic diversity. Some sampling approaches have had to be creative, the magazine notes — DNA was collected from southern right whale by sampling the air it snorts out of its blowhole.
"The DNA Zoo won't be the only piece we need to preserve the genomes of these animals to push forward the idea of conservation, but it is a huge piece in that puzzle," Blake Hanson from the University of Texas Health Science Center tells Texas Monthly.

Gold Medal in the sub-category Â« Photo Essay Â»
Changing Landscape is a photographic research about landscape transfromations and urbanization along the Red Sea coast of Egypt. With this project I question how natural and manmade environments are commonly represented and how they interact with each other in a country where architecture -and built environment- have always been an ideological vehicle; a kind of sacred geometry whose forms symbolize the relationship between heaven and earth, the elements communicate with solar systems and create a correspondence with the stars and the planets, connecting the humans to a higher and divine nature. Changing Landscape moves its first steps in the field of cultural landscapes, seeking connections between the built space and the space where the roots, myth and archetype dwell, creating a dimension where one may nourish the other. Using the border line of Red Sea as a metaphor for constant change I travelled from Suez to the sudanes border in order to document this new urbanization and seeking moment of grace in the rush of contemporary world.

The battle is quickly won and Dastan takes possession of an interesting dagger, one that Alamut's Princess Tamina is keen to recover. Dastan is soon on the run however when his gift to the King poisons him, putting Nizam on the throne. Tamina tells him the importance of the dagger - it can transport the bearer back in time. With his new found weapon, Dastan sets out to change past events and learn the identity of the man who betrayed them and killed his adopted father. - garykmcd
From a street urchin in the bustling streets of ancient Persia, the young orphan, Dastan, finds himself adopted by the righteous King Sharaman for the bravery and his regal heart. Nearly two decades later, an unfounded rumour of arms dealing in the neighbouring sacred city of Alamut will put the young Prince in charge of a mighty siege, as the beautiful Princess Tamina--holder of the mystical device, the Dagger of Time--is taken hostage. However, the unforeseen calamity of King Sharaman's untimely death will have Dastan and Tamina on the run, as the real murderer stays out of sight. Can Prince Dastan prove his innocence and harness the dagger's overwhelming power? - Nick Riganas

"The Unified Code for Units of Measure (UCUM) is a code system intended to include all units of measures being contemporarily used in international science, engineering, and business. The purpose is to facilitate unambiguous electronic communication of quantities together with their units. The focus is on electronic communication, as opposed to communication between humans. A typical application of The Unified Code for Units of Measure are electronic data interchange (EDI) protocols, but there is nothing that prevents it from being used in other types of machine communication."
The National Library of Medicine provides several resources for working with UCUM:
- Online validation & conversion of UCUM units. Users can enter UCUM expressions on the page and validate them or convert them to other expressions.
- Batch validation of UCUM units. Users can submit a CSV (a spreadsheet format) file with a column of UCUM unit expressions, and the validator will return another CSV file with the addition of a column that reports on the validity of each unit expression.
- Examples of commonly used UCUM codes. This document is based on real-world usage of UCUM in data from Intermountain Healthcare.
- Validation and Conversion: A web service for validating and convertng UCUM units, and also for obtaining base unit information.
