US: Exelis has unveiled a wide area airborne surveillance system called CorvusEye 1500 that can capture colour video from multiple views over a large area. The persistent surveillance system was developed primarily to support the needs of law enforcement, defence and military, but could also be used in other areas, such as land management or the protection of wildlife and critical infrastructure. The CorvusEye system can track movement that may be connected to potentially hazardous or illicit activity, as well as other trends like migratory or invasive wildlife behaviour.
The CorvusEye system includes a colour electro-optical sensor that can monitor day or night over 3 kilometers in circumference. It also enables rapid decision-making using an embedded analytical framework developed by Exelis called CogniSense, which processes data from multiple sensors and provides information to users in real time. CorvusEye and CogniSense are examples of products that Exelis offers as part of its strategic focus on intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and analytics. A single CorvusEye sensor can serve up to 10 different area views simultaneously providing close-up details with streaming footage. The system can also quickly gather critical intelligence in support of investigations using archived footage. As an end-to-end system, CorvusEye can be used on manned and unmanned platforms and offers ground station software for live data streaming to mobile devices.

"Unident" is a grasping-type force display that can change its inertia by moving a weight in a single axis direction at high speed. By rapidly changing the inertia while the user is shaking the device, we propose a method to simulate the sensation of an impact force being applied, even though no force is actually generated.
Assume the normal perception of impact force as follows:
- a. One first applies a force to the grasping object (e.g., the stick) to shake it.
- b. Then, one perceives an impact due to the instantaneous change in motion caused by an external impact force (e.g., the ball hitting the stick).
On the other hand, our proposed mechanism of pseudo-impact sensation mechanism:
- c. While the grasping object (Unident) is being shaken, the inertia is rapidly changed to simulate an instantaneous change in motion, making one feels as if an impact force were applied to the grasping object.

Women at the Well Conference
An Interdisciplinary Conference
Carroll College in Helena, Montana, a Catholic liberal arts college, is delighted to request paper abstracts and panel/workshop ideas for an interdisciplinary conference titled Women at the Well: Religion, Resilience, and Grace on March 16-17, 2018. The conference, sponsored by members of the Departments of Communication, English, Philosophy, and Theology, is being held in loving memory of Dr. Annette Moran, CSJ--Sister of Saint Joseph, theologian, Flannery O'Connor scholar, poet, and mystic--and our beloved colleague, teacher, and friend. Dr. Moran embodied the virtues of resilience and grace as she lived out her own faith and commitments to her communities.
This conference is an opportunity to explore through scholarship and reflection the role of women in various religious, ministerial, and educational contexts and the challenges and tensions marginalized peoples and cultures experience in these same contexts. How do women (and men) experience power in religious and educational institutions? What does feminine authority look like? How do place and institutional structures affect voice, visibility, and presence of marginalized individuals? If the institutions we inhabit are marked by injustice, how can we operate within these institutions without being complicit? What does it take for marginalized peoples to effect change within religious and educational institutions? Can we find grace in resistance? Can we find grace in anger? Register here

text: The village is located in the beautiful fertile valley of Knežopolje, surrounded by the slopes of the mountain Kozara. It has a unique cultural and historical heritage, especially from the Second World War, since the place was the center of the liberated territory under the partisan movement. For a long time, it was recognizable for its successful agricultural production and cooperation practice (the first cooperative founded in BiH), which is stagnating today. The new infrastructure of Smart Village takes care to preserve its authenticity, but make it more interesting with its infrastructure – trails, gardens, demo grounds and buildings. In terms of telecommunication infrastructure, an optical cable passes through the village of Knezica.

Borax crystalsThe world wide commercial borate deposits are estimated to be 1010 kg of boron. Turkey and the United States are the world's largest producers of boron.Turkey has almost 72% of the worlds boron potential and boron reserves. Boron does not appear on Earth in elemental form but is found combined in borax, boric acid, colemanite, kernite, ulexite and borates. Boric acid is sometimes found in volcanic spring waters. Ulexite is a borate mineral that naturally has properties of fiber optics.
Economically important sources are from the ore rasorite (kernite) and tincal (borax ore) which are both found in the Mojave Desert of California, with borax being the most important source there. The largest borax deposits are found in Central and Western Turkey including the provinces of Eskişehir, Kütahya and Balıkesir.

General Bridgehub Information
What is a Bridgehub adapter?
A Bridgehub adapter is an extension to be used with the Kinetic Bridgehub project. Each adapter allows Kinetic Bridgehub to retrieve data from the data source specified by the adapter.
Bridgehub adapter basics
Properties
Bridgehub properties are a set of parameters specific to each Bridgehub adapter. These parameters are normally configuration values for properties like username, password, server location, etc.
Initialize
A one time initialization method for the Bridgehub adapter that is required to successfully complete before any of the implementation methods (count,retrieve,search) can be executed. This allows an adapter author to pre-load operations to improve the speed of the implementation methods, validate the adapter properties, and set variables that can be used by other methods.
Count
An implementation method that returns the amount of records for a given Structure and Query.
Retrieve
An implementation method that returns a single record containing the specified Fields for a given Structure and Query. If there is more than one record that matches the Structure/Query combination, an error is thrown.
Search
An implementation method that returns multiple records containing the specified Fields for a given Structure and Query. A search request can also optionally specify metadata (order,pagination,query parameters) to further refine the search results.
Using Parameters
To allow for the use of query parameters when calling the implementation methods, make sure that the adapter substitutes the query parameters before making its call. The following is an example of this being done using the Kinetic Core Adapter:
KineticCoreQualificationParser parser = new KineticCoreQualificationParser(); String substitutedQuery = parser.parse(request.getQuery(),request.getParameters());
Want more detail?
If you want more detail about how a Bridgehub adapter is structured and the various classes available to it, look at the Kinetic Bridgehub Adapter javadoc.
How is the adapter tested?
Kinetic Bridgehub adapters are tested using JUnit tests. To import a set of standard JUnit tests that all bridge adapters need to be able to pass, extend the JUnit class for an adapter with the BridgeAdapterTestBase class. To go along with the BridgeAdapterTestBase, a bridge-config.yml file needs to be included with the test resources at /src/test/resource/bridge-config.yml. An empty file with instructions on how to fill it out should be included in the repository by default.
How is the adapter built?
Kinetic Bridgehub adapters are built as Maven projects. To build the project from the command line, run the command mvn package from inside the adapter directory.
NOTE: Before building the adapter you will need to make sure that the kinetic-bridgehub-adapter JAR has been added to the Maven project. Currently the kinetic-bridgehub-adapter is only available as a 3rd party JAR file (included in this repository), so it will need to be manually installed before the project will successfully build. Information on installing 3rd party JARs to Maven can be found here.
Adding the adapter to Bridgehub
Discovery file
Kinetic Bridgehub find and loads new adapters by looking for and loading up a file containing the main class of the Bridgehub Adapter. The name of the file is com.kineticdata.bridgehub.adapter.BridgeAdapter and it is located at /src/resources/META-INF/adapters/com.kineticdata.bridgehub.adapter.BridgeAdapter. The only thing that file should contain is the location of the main java adapter class. The following example shows the contents of the file for the Kinetic Core Adapter:
com.kineticdata.bridgehub.adapter.kineticcore.KineticCoreAdapter
Adding the JAR to Kinetic Bridgehub
Once it has been built, the adapter JAR goes into the WEB-INF\lib of the Kinetic Bridgehub installation. After restarting the server containing Kinetic Bridgehub, the newly installed adapter should now show up in the adapter list.

真空用Al合金の表面酸化膜構造とガス放出特性 Outgassing Rate and Morphology of Surface Oxide Layer of Aluminum Alloy for Vacuum Equipment Use
One of the practical and low cost treatments, an electrolytic polishing (EP) was applied to aluminum alloys for vacuum equipment use to optimize polishing condition utilizing the Taguchi Methods by small samples. EP samples prepared at the optimal conditions, i.e. high temperature of the polishing liquid and the first rinse water, had outgassing rate as low as chemical polishing (CP). Uniformly thinner and dense surface oxide barrier layer and thicker porous columnar oxide surface layer were the product of the optimal and the starting EP treatments, respectively, and they corresponded to lower and higher outgassing quantity, respectively. Pumping time dependence of outgassing rate q of EP and CP treated chamber samples showed that the formers were higher than the latter, respectively. At ultimate pressure q of EP and CP samples are 3×10-12 Pa·m·s-1 and 1×10-12 Pa·m·s-1, respectively.

text: 【摘要】：In this study, Fengyun-3 D(FY-3 D) Micro Wave Radiation Imager(MWRI) radiance data were directly assimilated into the Global/Regional Assimilation and Pr Ediction System(GRAPES) four-dimensional variational(4 DVar) system. Quality control procedures were developed for MWRI applications by using algorithms from similar microwave instruments. Compared with the FY-3 C MWRI, the bias of FY-3 D MWRI observations did not show a clear node-dependent difference from the numerical weather prediction background simulation. A conventional bias correction approach can therefore be used to remove systematic biases before the assimilation of data. After assimilating the MWRI radiance data into GRAPES, the geopotential height and humidity analysis fields were improved relative to the control experiment. There was a positive impact on the location of the subtropical high, which led to improvements in forecasts of the track of Typhoon Shanshan.

The oldest surviving, original, fixed-wing roadable aircraft was designed Frank by Skroback in 1925 and built in 1934. It's now on display in Willowbrook Village in the north-eastern USA, near where he lived. Frank actually drove his invention along highways in Maine.
A total of six 8-ft.-long wing-segments provide the same wing area as one single 48-foot (16m) monoplane span - more than enough to lift a single occupant. Aerodynamically speaking, torque, induced drag and interference were the main issues facing Frank. It's unknown how he resolved these.

Simple Upload
Terakhir diperbarui:2022-04-30 20:43:25
 Simple upload refers to uploading objects using the PUT Object API. It is suitable for uploading an object smaller than 5 GB in a single request.
 To upload an object larger than 5 GB, you can use:
 - COS console: You can upload an object up to 512 GB. For more information, see Uploading Objects.
 - Multipart upload with APIs or SDKs: You can upload an object up to 48.82 TB (i.e., 50,000 GB). For more information, see Multipart Upload.
 - COSCMD: You can upload an object up to 40 TB. For more information, see COSCMD.
 Note：
 When initiating a request, if you want to specify a directory or path, you can use /. For example, if you need to upload picture.png to the doc directory, set the object key to doc/picture.png.
 Use Cases
 Simple upload is suitable for uploading an object smaller than 5 GB.
 In a high bandwidth or weak network environment, if your object is relatively large, for example, over 100 MB, we recommend you use Multipart Upload, even if the object is smaller than 5 GB. This is because multipart upload supports uploading multiple parts concurrently, which gives full play to resources in high bandwidth environments. On the other hand, in weak network environments, the uploaded parts will not be affected by the failed ones. Therefore, failed parts can be re-uploaded with a simple retry, improving the overall upload success rate. For more information about uploading objects with a client in a weak network environment, see Multipart Upload Resumption in a Weak Network Environment.
 Directions
 Using REST APIs
 Use REST APIs to initiate a simple upload request. For more information, see PUT Object.
 Using SDKs
 Directly call the simple upload method in the SDK. For more information, see the SDK documentation for the corresponding programming language below:

What's the issue? Breast cancer in a Canadian First Nations Population
Within Manitoba there is a significant population of indigenous people in the northern part of the province. In 1996, 128,910 Aboriginal people lived in Manitoba, accounting for 11.7% of Manitoba's total population. The Aboriginal proportion of the population has been increasing rapidly over the past 20 years.1 Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Manitoba women and the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths among women. From 1995 to 2004, the incidence of cancer among First Nations women doubled, from 178/100,000 to 391/100,000. During the same time, the incidence of cancer among non-First Nations women increased by just 1.5%.2
Research to Practice: Making Breast Cancer Screening Mobile
Manitoba has a publicly funded Breast Screening program which operates in four cities and towns. Breast cancer screening with a mammogram, a specialized x-ray of the breasts, is a way of detecting cancer. Access to breast cancer screening plays a major role in the timely detection and treatment of cancers in women. Monitoring breast screening participation rates showed the inequities for northern and rural women and the mobile program was introduced to address the disparities.
Ensuring Canada's First Nations have access to breast cancer screening, specifically the "geographically isolated" Manitoban Aboriginal women, and adapting it to cultural context is an example of how investment in research for health can be beneficial in promoting health equity with regards to gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic status. Mobile screening units have been created to reach women who live outside of the four cities and towns housing the screening program. To date, mobile screening programs operate in over 80 rural and northern communities every year and in 10 Winnipeg city locations.
The breast screening program works with First Nation communities to address cultural issues. The program developed posters that include aboriginal women and invitation letters are translated when needed. The local health workers arrange the appointments as some women don't have phones. The clinics are advertised over the local community radio station and the local health workers often visit women to explain the program.
This example makes clear that to achieve health equity, access to the products of research, such as cancer screening technologies, need to consider the social determinants of health. Outreach initiatives should be culturally appropriate, as shown in the example of the Aboriginal Cancer Strategy.3 The guiding principles include a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual approach to health in conjunction with a grass-roots approach that gives voice to the community.
What next: Improving Access to Breast Cancer Screening by Promoting Innovation
Despite the universal screening program, access remains a challenge. For example, mobile units have rigid schedules making it difficult to switch dates when bad winter weather or equipment failure interrupt schedules and it is not always possible to accommodate changes. The mobile unit may not return for another year or two, leading to wide variability in the use of mammograms among eligible Manitoba women. In the two year period from April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004, just 60% of women aged 50 to 69 years had a mammogram. Women in the rural south were most likely (63%), and women in the north were least likely (53%), to have had a mammogram. In fact, all Regional Health Authorities in the rural south had higher participation rates in mammography than did Winnipeg (59%).4
These differences in breast screening participation can be related to income, jobs, children, high travel expenses and long travel times due to an inadequate infrastructure that make it difficult for northern women to travel, especially from isolated communities in the North. Thus, even reaching a mobile screening unit is perceived as an obstacle for some women. Also, competing socio-economic health issues and immediate needs such as daily bread and shelter are often considered more important. In addition, some women have family members affected by breast cancer. Such bias sometimes results in increased likelihood towards cancer screening, but sometimes also in aversion due to fear.
It is in the hands of the community health workers to raise awareness. The challenge for research is to find ways to expand equitable access to breast cancer screening for all under-screened indigenous women. This can be achieved by enhancing the favorable balance between the benefits and risks of screening and by finding ways to make the units more mobile and flexible. Looking into the future, new technologies such as more compact digitalized mammography or blood testing for cancerous cells should be at the forefront.

Let me explain. I have created a custom component, when editing the element and saving it once, I would like to display next to the alias the sef frontend link to this element. Here is a screenshot to explain :
I haven't coded anything yet because I'm not sure how to do it?
I'm assuming that since you're asking about SEF URLs for your component that you've already built your own custom router (as SEF URLs for a custom component are dependent upon that). If not then you can follow the example described in _URL_ and following tutorial steps.
If you've done that then outputting an SEF URL on the admin backend is similar to how you create an SEF URL on the front end using JRoute::_ and passing the various parameters such as your component (option), id of your item, Itemid of the menuitem, etc. Except that on the admin side you should use
use Joomla\CMS\Router\Route;
$url = Route::link("site", "index.php?option=com_example&view=showitem&id=14);
See Joomla Route link for the API definition and URLs in Joomla for a description of how to use these functions.
Note that the link method is available only since Joomla 3.9, so if you're working on a version which predates that then it's rather more tricky, as you have to hack your way into the Joomla core code, but not impossible.
Also just be aware that the SEF URL may differ depending upon the Itemid of the menuitem which you pass to the link function and how you've built your custom router.

LMS Spaces - How to add an LMS Course/Space
Specify an association between a CSIS program and LMS space(s).
When you create an association between a CSIS program and an LMS space, that means each new registrant in this CSIS program will automatically be invited by e-mail to access this LMS space (or these spaces), immediately after their successful registration.
See Lifelong Learners (L3) - Enrollment Process for a public description of the registrant's experience of that process.
screenshot showing where the LMS Spaces tab appears on the program detail page
 1. Click the "Add LMS Course/Space" button.
 screenshot of the Select your server question after clicking Add LMS Course/Space
 2. "Select your server" asks you to select which LMS will hold this LMS space. As of early 2018, both "Canvas" and "UW_MOODLE_SPECIAL" are options. By mid-2018, Moodle will no longer be available as an option. Other UW-Madison learning platforms could be added in the future with a technical project.
 screenshot of the Select Your Server dropdown list open
 3. "Select your LMS Course/Space" gives you the option of either "Create New LMS Space" or selecting any of the LMS Spaces you have previously created using CSIS for any other program in your academic unit.
 screenshot after selecting Canvas as the server, with expanded dropdown with list of existing spaces
 - If you select "Create New LMS Space" you now have a one time, irrevocable opportunity to edit the name of this LMS space from the CSIS perspective. Two cautions:
 1. You cannot later edit the name of the space as it appears in CSIS, but you may certainly later edit the LMS space name using LMS-internal tools that affect only what appears in the LMS (e.g., to your learners). But then you set up potential confusion for your staff looking between CSIS and the LMS, because the space names will no longer match.
 2. Before you submit this name, consider the long-term implications of how you'll sort through all of your entire unit's past LMS space names in this dropdown list. For example, if you plan on creating a new LMS space for each offering of this course, you should probably add a date or term-specific label at the end of the LMS space name.
 screenshot of entering the name of the new LMS space
 The instant you click "Submit" here, CSIS will reach out to the LMS and create a new, empty LMS space that is given the initial display title that you selected here. You should go to the LMS right away to make sure you know how to locate the space you just created. You will find the LMS space placed in the LMS category that your IT administrator initially defined for your academic unit (in collaboration with the LMS administrators) when you first began using CSIS for LMS student access management.
 - If you select an existing LMS space, then the relationship within CSIS between this program and that LMS space will be immediately created - in addition to whatever other CSIS programs are also associated with that LMS space.
 If you already have registered participants in this program, those existing participants are not immediately granted access to this space, so that you have some hours to optionally adjust individual access rights first. See the on-screen instructions for next steps.
 screenshot of the message that appears after selecting an existing LMS space, allowing you to decide when and which any past program participants should get access to this space
Frequently asked questions
Why would I want more than one LMS space associated with a program?
 Each "program" (course) defined in CSIS may have one or more (unlimited) numbers of LMS spaces associated with it. This can allow you to, for example:
 - Share certain LMS content or communication tools across multiple courses within a shared LMS space, while also giving students in individual courses access to an LMS space exclusive to their course or cohort.
 - Schedule staggered access dates for particular course content, such as giving short-term access to the content in one LMS space and long-term access to the content in a different LMS space.
Why would I reuse an existing LMS space from a different program?
For example:
 - Self-paced courses that are open across multiple fiscal years need to keep each new fiscal year's CSIS program for this course pointing at the same LMS space over the long term, instead of creating a new LMS space for each fiscal year.
 - When you re-offer a particular course under a new CSIS program, considerations of instructional design work within the LMS may mean it's easier for your staff to clear out student-specific traces and then reuse the LMS space you previously set up, rather than moving all of the LMS content from the old LMS space to the new LMS space.
 - Certificate offerings may prefer to use a single, shared LMS space across all of the courses with that certificate.
How can I change which CSIS program is associated with a particular Canvas space or vice versa, which Canvas spaces are associated with a CSIS program? Generally the best approach is to use this CSIS tool to simply remove the "wrong" space and add the "right" space. If desired, you can then use Canvas tools to copy content from one Canvas space to another.
When necessary, such as when many active students are in a particular space and you need to revise which CSIS programs point to that space, it is possible to contact a campus Canvas administrator who can manually change the "SIS ID" for a Canvas space.
How can I look up in Moodle which CSIS program is associated with a particular Moodle space? Once you are logged into Moodle as a course administrator, navigate to the Moodle space in question, and then view the CSIS association using the menu option:
Course administration -> Users -> Enrollment Methods
Click the magnifying glass next to "UW lifelong learning" to see the details.
How do I change which Moodle space a program is associated with? Generally the best approach is to use this CSIS tool to simply remove the "wrong" space and add the "right" space. But if you have a situation such as multiple Moodle spaces with the same name, changing over time, then it may make more sense to adjust Moodle's understanding of which precise Moodle space you want to mean under the currently displayed Space name as shown in CSIS.
In that case, follow the instructions above for reviewing CSIS-Moodle associations. If you see that the wrong course is linked, remove the "UW Lifelong learning" method from the incorrect course, and then add a new "UW Lifelong learning" method to the class it should go to. Note that changing things on the Moodle end does not inform CSIS of the change - no visible difference will appear in CSIS.
Note: If you (presumably accidentally) remove a CSIS space from a Moodle course and don't associate it to a different Moodle course right away, then UW Moodle will automatically create a new Moodle course for the space. This will happen within 24 hours during a nightly automated clean-up task within UW Moodle.

Jakarta's snake-fruit under threat but city pledges conservation effort
By Indonesia correspondent Samantha Hawley
Asmawi stands side-on to the camera with one hand on his machete in a cluster of Salacca zalacca trees.

In the Indonesian capital — not known for its open space — there's a forest-like sanctuary.
You won't find the address on Google Maps, and getting there requires some old-fashioned stopping and asking, but once you arrive you'll find a haven full of history.
Hidden away in residential east Jakarta is the city's last remaining snake-fruit, or Salak farm.
Grown from palm-like trees known as the Salacca zalacca, the fruit is an Indonesian delight.
It comes in many flavours, depending on the seed.
Sweet or sour, and in some cases both.
"This farm was passed on from generation to generation, from our grandfathers and the grandfathers before them," said caretaker and Betawi man Asmawi.
For the Betawi people, who are known as the indigenous Jakartans, the remaining Salak farm holds great significance.
Just like the Betawi, the trees have been in the area for generations — and there aren't many left.

"I am sad about it," Asmawi said.
The Jakarta Government has bought the farm to ensure its conservation and just in time, according to Ucup, from Jakarta's Agricultural office, who is also a local Betawi man.
"This variant of snake-fruit was almost extinct, since 2007 we have undertaken conservation and protection efforts to save it from extinction," Ucup said.
"We are working on cultivating it."
Ucup stands front-on to the camera in a grove of salacca zalacca with his arms crossed.

As he moves along a brick path, with a machete in hand to cut the ripe fruit from the branches, Asmawi reflects on the past.
"It was so much better in the olden days," he said.
"If I could turn back time I would like to go back to my childhood.
The coolness has long gone, but Asmawi is savouring what's left and enjoying the fruit of the farm.

Today's name is Mongo
The name "Mongo" conjures up memories of Blazing Saddles for many of us of a certain age (and thoughts of a hospital for magical maladies for others). However, it is, in fact, a completely period name. It is a variant form of Mungo, the given name of the Scottish saint who is the patron of salmon and of the city of Glasgow. As Mongo, it appears in Scots records as a given name dated to 1490 and c. 1592. [1] In the spelling Mongow, it also appears in Scots records dated to 1579.[1]
Additionally, in one of those odd coincidences that often happens with language, "Mongo" is also a Mongol descriptive nickname meaning "silver."

The Qwevla pseudo-3D race portrait.
The Qwevla Pseudo-3D conversion is a partial shipset for Space Empires IV.
It was created by Andres Lescano, who applied a 3D bump-mapping tool to the 2-dimensional Space Empires III shipsets.
Biological Description
The Qwevla are a bulbous organic species that are hideously ugly. Due to their semi-solid form, they have enhanced their bodies with artificial exoskeletons. Without the technological physical enhancements, the Qwevla move very slowly and have difficulty sensing their environment. The Paretorian have an average lifespan of 70 years.
Society Description
The Qwevla are organized into an imperial government with an emperor considered to be the son of god. The people are in absolute thrall to the emperor and will do anything that he commands. Their race tends to be very reclusive and solitary. Due to their horrible appearance, they find relations with other races to be very difficult.
General History Description
The history of the the Qwevla has been very sparse. Few races will interact with them because of either their appearance or the lofty nature of their emperor. They have devoted much of their time to engineering pursuits and improving their exoskeletons.

How To Reset Ubuntu to Factory Settings
Ubuntu 15
In this guide, we will walk you through the process of resetting Ubuntu to its factory settings. This process is particularly useful when you encounter problems that prevent you from logging in or using Ubuntu normally. Before we begin, it's important to note that you should always back up your important files before attempting any system changes, as these methods can result in data loss.
Quick Answer
To reset Ubuntu to its factory settings, you have two options. First, you can try installing a new desktop environment, such as Xubuntu, Lubuntu, or Ubuntu MATE, which can often resolve login issues. If that doesn't work or you want a fresh start, you can reinstall Ubuntu using a USB installer. Remember to back up your important files before attempting any system changes.
Installing a New Desktop Environment
If you're experiencing login issues, one potential solution is to install a new desktop environment. This can often resolve login problems, and it's relatively straightforward to do.
To install a new desktop environment, you'll first need to open a terminal. You can do this by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1. Once the terminal is open, you'll need to run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
The sudo apt-get update command updates your package lists to ensure that you're installing the latest version of the desktop environment. The sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop command installs the Xubuntu desktop environment.
You can replace xubuntu-desktop with lubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-mate-desktop if you prefer those desktop environments. Once the new desktop environment is installed, you can try logging in again to see if the problem is resolved.
Reinstalling Ubuntu from a USB Installer
If installing a new desktop environment doesn't resolve your problem, or if you simply want to start fresh, you can reinstall Ubuntu from a USB installer. This process involves downloading the Ubuntu ISO file and writing it to a USB drive.
To download the Ubuntu ISO file, open a terminal and run the following command:
wget _URL_
This command downloads the Ubuntu 20.04.3 ISO file. You can replace 20.04 with the version you want to download.
Once the ISO file is downloaded, you can write it to a USB drive using the ddrescue command. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get install gddrescue
sudo ddrescue -d -D --force ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso /dev/sdX
The sudo apt-get install gddrescue command installs the ddrescue utility, which is used to write the ISO file to the USB drive. The sudo ddrescue -d -D --force ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso /dev/sdX command writes the ISO file to the USB drive.
In this command, /dev/sdX should be replaced with the correct device name for your USB drive. Be sure to select the correct device, as this command will overwrite the contents of the USB drive.
Once the ISO file is written to the USB drive, you can use it to reinstall Ubuntu. This will reset Ubuntu to its factory settings.
Conclusion
Resetting Ubuntu to its factory settings can be a useful troubleshooting step when you're experiencing problems. Whether you choose to install a new desktop environment or reinstall Ubuntu from a USB installer, it's important to always back up your important files first. With these steps, you should be able to reset Ubuntu and get back to using it normally.
Can I reset Ubuntu to factory settings without losing my files?
No, resetting Ubuntu to factory settings will erase all your files and settings. It's important to back up your important files before attempting the reset.
How long does it take to reinstall Ubuntu from a USB installer?
The time it takes to reinstall Ubuntu from a USB installer can vary depending on your computer's hardware and the speed of your USB drive. Generally, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
Can I choose a different version of Ubuntu to reinstall?

The 'Great Struggle' between Cantorians and Neo-Aristotelians: Much Ado about Nothing
Abstract:Starting from the generalized concept of syntactically and semantically trivial differences between two formal theories introduced by Arsenijević, we show that two systems of the linear continuum, the Cantorian point-based system and the Aristotelian interval-based system that satisfies Cantor's coherence condition, are only trivially different. So, the 'great struggle' (to use Cantor's phrase) between the two contending parties turns out to be'much ado about nothing'.

text: Time-domain diffuse correlation spectroscopy (TD-DCS) is a newly emerging optical technique that exploits pulsed, yet coherent light to non-invasively resolve the blood flow in depth. In this work, we have explored TD-DCS at longer wavelengths compared to those previously used in literature (i.e., 750–850 nm). The measurements were performed using a custom-made titanium-sapphire mode-locked laser, operating at 1000 nm, and an InGaAs photomultiplier as a detector. Tissue-mimicking phantoms and in vivo measurements during arterial arm cuff occlusion in n = 4 adult volunteers were performed to demonstrate the proof of concept. We obtained a good signal-to-noise ratio, following the hemodynamics continuously with a relatively fast (1 Hz) sampling rate. In all the experiments, the auto-correlation functions show a decay rate approximately five-fold slower compared to shorter wavelengths. This work demonstrates the feasibility of in vivo TD-DCS in this spectral region and its potentiality for biomedical applications.


different from Document Type "A"?
 - It uses the label SSN: instead of Social Security Number:.
How is Document Type "C" different from Document Type "A"?
 - It uses the labels SSN: instead of Social Security Number: and DOB: instead of Date of Birth:.
How is Document Type "D" different from Document Type "A"?
 - It uses the labels SSN: instead of Social Security Number:, DOB: instead of Date of Birth:, and Phone #: instead of Phone Number.

Using the Labelset-Based Classification Method unclassified documents are classified by assigning the document the Document Type whose labels are most similar. The basic concept is "similarity" is determined by how many labels are shared between the unclassified document and the label sets collected for the Document Types in your Content Model. The unclassified document is assigned the Document Type with the highest degree of similarity between matched labels and the Document Types' label sets.
The similarity calculation is very straightforward. Grooper searches for labels collected for every Document Type and measures the total character difference between all the labels matched on the document.
If each of these five labels is collected for each Document Type's Label Set, you'd have the following character totals for the set.
 - Document Type "A" - 63 total label characters.
 - Document Type "B" - 44 total label characters.
 - Document Type "C" - 34 total label characters.
 - Document Type "D" - 29 total label characters.
How similar is Document Type "A" to Document Type "B"?
 - "A" uses the label Social Security Number: instead of SSN:
 - However, there is a match for the remaining four labels.
 - The remaining four labels, Name:, Date of Birth, Phone Number: and Address: are comprised of 40 characters.
 - The similarity score is the percentage of matched label characters divided by the total characters in the Document Type's label set.
 - 40 matched label characters / 44 total label characters = 0.9091
 - "A" is roughly 91% similar to "B"
How similar is Document Type "A" to Document Type "C"?
 - "A" uses the label Social Security Number: instead of SSN: and Date of Birth instead of DOB:
 - However, there is a match for the remaining three labels.
 - The remaining three labels, Name:, Phone Number: and Address: are comprised of 26 characters.
 - The similarity score is the percentage of matched label characters divided by the total characters in the Document Type's label set.
 - 26 matched label characters / 34 total label characters = 0.7647
 - "A" is roughly 76% similar to "B"
How similar is Document Type "A" to Document Type "D"?
 - Figure out what labels from "A" match "D", and do the math.

Labeling-behavior-classification-04-01.png
If we ran one of these "documents" into Grooper, we can see these results very clearly.
 1. The document shares all five labels in common with the "A" Document Type.
 2. Grooper searches for labels matching the label sets for all Document Types in the Content Model and creates a similarity score for each one.
 - You can see the math described above play out here. Matching all labels in the "A" Document Type's label set, the document is considered 100% similar. Less so for the other Document Types because while they share some labels (like Name:), some are different (like Social Security Number: versus SSN:
 3. Upon classification, the document folder is assigned the Document Type with the highest similarity score.
 - In this case the "A" Document Type.

Configuring Labelset-Based Classification
Next, we will walk through the steps required to enable and configure the Labelset-Based Classification Method, using our example set of invoice documents.
The basic steps are as follows:
 1. Set the Content Model's Classification Method property to Labelset-Based
 2. Collect labels for each Document Type
 3. Test classification
 4. Reconfigure, updating existing Document Types' Label Sets and adding new Document Types as needed.
Assign the Labelset-Based Classification Method
Once you've figured out you want to use Label Sets to classify your documents, you need to tell your Content Model that's what you want to do! This is done by setting the Content Model's Classification Method property to Labelset-Based.
 1. Select a Content Model in the Node Tree.
 - We've selected the "Labeling Behavior - Invoices" Content Model we've been working with in this How To section of the article.
 2. Select the Classification Method property.
 3. Using the dropdown menu, select Labelset-Based from the list of options.
Next, we will collect labels for each Document Type in the Content Model.
 1. Note we've already added a Labeling Behavior to the Behaviors property.
 - It doesn't matter whether you add a Labeling Behavior and/or collect labels before selecting Labelset-Based for the Classification Method' or after.
 - However, you will need to add the Labeling Behavior at some point in order to collect label sets for the Document Types and ultimately use the Labelset-Based method for document classification. Visit the tutorial above if you're unsure how to add the Labeling Behavior to the Content Model.

Collect Labels
See the above how to (Collect Label Sets) for a full explanation of how to collect labels for Document Types in a Content Model. The rest of this tutorial will presume you have general familiarity with collecting labels.
 1. Switch to the "Labels" tab.
 2. Collect labels for each Data Element in the Document Type's Data Model.
 3. Collect labels for each Document Type in the Data Model.
Labeling-behavior-classification-how to-03.png
Beta Bug Alert!
Table headers are often very useful for Labelset-Based classification, and it generally is the case you want to use them as a classification feature. Currently, if you want to use a Data Table object's labels for classification, you must set the Data Table's Minimum Row Count property to at least "1". This is a known issue in the current version of Grooper and likely will change.
However, if you find Data Table and/or Data Column labels are not included in determining document similarity during classification, do the following:
 1. Navigate to the Data Table object in the Node Tree.
 2. Expand the Row Count Range property.
 3. Select the Minimum property.
 4. Enter 1.
If you have multiple Data Table objects in your Data Model, you will need to repeat these steps for each one.

Test Classification
In general, regardless of the Classification Method used, one of three things is going to happen to Batch Folders in a Batch during classification.
 1. The folder will be assigned the correct Document Type.
 2. The folder will be assigned the wrong Document Type.
 3. The folder will be assigned no Document Type at all.
The Labelset-Based method is no different. If all folders are classified correctly, that's great. However, testing is all about ensuring this is the case and figuring out where and why problems arise when folders are classified wrong or not classified at all.
We will look at a couple examples of how classification can go wrong using the Labelset-Based method, why that is the case, and what to do about it.
FYI
The example Batch in the rest of this tutorial is purposefully small to illustrate a few key points. In the real world, you will want to test using a much larger batch with several examples of each Document Type.
 1. The easiest way to test classification (for the Labelset-Based method or any other) is with the "Classification Testing" tab of the Content Model.
 2. Select a test Batch with the "Batch Selector" dropdown window.
 3. Select a Batch Folder and press the "Classify" button to classify a single document folder.
 4. Select a Batch Folder and press the "Classify All" button to classify all document folders in the Batch.
Labeling-behavior-classification-how to-04.png
Now we just need to evaluate the success or failure of our classification. Let's look at a few documents in our Batch before detailing what we will do to resolve any classification errors.
 1. This is a complete success!
 - The Batch Folder has been assigned the "Factura" Document Type.
 2. It indeed should have been classified so. It is an invoice from the Factura Technology Corp.
 3. Its similarity score is 100% similar to the "Factura" Document Type.
 - This means a match has been found for all labels in the "Factura" Document Type's label set.
Labeling-behavior-classification-how to-05.png
 1. This is a mitigated success.
 - The Batch Folder has been assigned the "Envoy" Document Type.
 2. It indeed should have

Extract, Transform, and Load JSON Services in Python
The CData Python Connector for JSON enables you to create ETL applications and pipelines for JSON services in Python with petl.
The rich ecosystem of Python modules lets you get to work quickly and integrate your systems more effectively. With the CData Python Connector for JSON and the petl framework, you can build JSON-connected applications and pipelines for extracting, transforming, and loading JSON services. This article shows how to connect to JSON with the CData Python Connector and use petl and pandas to extract, transform, and load JSON services.
With built-in, optimized data processing, the CData Python Connector offers unmatched performance for interacting with live JSON services in Python. When you issue complex SQL queries from JSON, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to JSON and utilizes the embedded SQL engine to process unsupported operations client-side (often SQL functions and JOIN operations).
Connecting to JSON Services
Connecting to JSON services looks just like connecting to any relational data source. Create a connection string using the required connection properties. For this article, you will pass the connection string as a parameter to the create_engine function.
See the Getting Started chapter in the data provider documentation to authenticate to your data source: The data provider models JSON APIs as bidirectional database tables and JSON files as read-only views (local files, files stored on popular cloud services, and FTP servers). The major authentication schemes are supported, including HTTP Basic, Digest, NTLM, OAuth, and FTP. See the Getting Started chapter in the data provider documentation for authentication guides.
After setting the URI and providing any authentication values, set DataModel to more closely match the data representation to the structure of your data.
The DataModel property is the controlling property over how your data is represented into tables and toggles the following basic configurations.
 - Document (default): Model a top-level, document view of your JSON data. The data provider returns nested elements as aggregates of data.
 - FlattenedDocuments: Implicitly join nested documents and their parents into a single table.
 - Relational: Return individual, related tables from hierarchical data. The tables contain a primary key and a foreign key that links to the parent document.
See the Modeling JSON Data chapter for more information on configuring the relational representation. You will also find the sample data used in the following examples. The data includes entries for people, the cars they own, and various maintenance services performed on those cars.
After installing the CData JSON Connector, follow the procedure below to install the other required modules and start accessing JSON through Python objects.
Install Required Modules
Use the pip utility to install the required modules and frameworks:
pip install petl
pip install pandas
Build an ETL App for JSON Services in Python
Once the required modules and frameworks are installed, we are ready to build our ETL app. Code snippets follow, but the full source code is available at the end of the article.
First, be sure to import the modules (including the CData Connector) with the following:
import petl as etl
import pandas as pd
import cdata.json as mod
You can now connect with a connection string. Use the connect function for the CData JSON Connector to create a connection for working with JSON services.
cnxn = mod.connect("URI=C:\people.json;DataModel=Relational;")
Create a SQL Statement to Query JSON
Use SQL to create a statement for querying JSON. In this article, we read data from the people entity.
sql = "SELECT [ personal.name.first ], [ personal.name.last ] FROM people WHERE [ personal.name.last ] = 'Roberts'"
Extract, Transform, and Load the JSON Services
With the query results stored in a DataFrame, we can use petl to extract, transform, and load the JSON services. In this example, we extract JSON services, sort the data by the [ personal.name.last ] column, and load the data into a CSV file.
Loading JSON Services into a CSV File
table1 = etl.fromdb(cnxn,sql)
table2 = etl.sort(table1,'[ personal.name.last ]')
etl.tocsv(table2,'people_data.csv')
In the following example, we add new rows to the people table.
Adding New Rows to JSON
table1 = [ ['[ personal.name.first ]','[ personal.name.last ]'], ['New[ personal.name.first ]1','New[ personal.name.last ]1'], ['New[ personal.name.first ]2','New[ personal.name.last ]2'], ['New[ personal.name.first ]3','New[ personal.name.last ]3'] ]
etl.appenddb(table1, cnxn, 'people')
With the CData Python Connector for JSON, you can work with JSON services just like you would with any database, including direct access to data in ETL packages like petl.

Group: a group is an entire group of connected stones on the board of the same color. A single stone (unconnected to others of the same color) is also a group.
Overgrown: a group is overgrown when it has more than 5 stones in it.
Smothered: a group is smothered when there are no empty spaces adjacent to any of its stones.
- Each player owns 2 stone colors. To start, Player 1 places one stone of either of her colors on any empty space.
- From then on, starting with Player 2, the players take turns. On your turn, you must place 1 or 2 stones on any empty spaces. If you place 2 stones, they must be different colors.
- After you place your stone(s), capture all smothered enemy groups, and then capture all overgrown enemy groups.
- The first player to have captured X enemy stones wins.
Because your opponent can only place 2 stones on each turn, she can't smother any group touching at least 3 empty spaces. So try to make sure your most important groups always touch least three empty spaces.
The board consists of concentric rings of hexagons. The the second-outermost ring seems important, because groups on that ring are hard to capture without losing a lot of stones.
When you make a size-5 group, it can no longer evolve, which reduces your flexibility. Don't make a size-5 group unless what you gain from it is more valuable than the lost flexibility.
If your opponent has two size-5 groups of different colors that both touch the same empty space, she can't place a stone there without overgrowing and losing one of her groups. So, if one of your groups touches that same empty space, your opponent can't smother it without overgrowing and losing a group.
Likewise, if you have more than one size-5 group, and they're different colors, try to prevent those groups from touching the same empty spaces.
If your opponent is making big groups aggressively, try playing "slow" by placing only one stone per turn. Your opponent may eventually overgrow to much, making it easy for you to storm back.

2D heterogeneous model of a polytropic methanation reactor
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Research › peer-review
The paper presents a heterogeneous 2D model of a polytropic fixed bed methanation reactor for Co-SOEC syngas. The reactor with 80 mm inner diameter is operated without active cooling. Lab-scale experiments were used for model validation under variation of gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) (2000 h-1, 4000 h-1, 6000 h-1 and 8000 h-1) and pressure (1 bar, 2 bar, 4 bar, 6 bar, 8 bar, 10 bar). The conversion of Co-SOEC syngas containing a mixture of H2, CO and CO2 was calculated based on a two-step methanation kinetic model. Effective methanation kinetics was implemented based on a novel approximation of two different reaction efficiency approaches. The catalytic efficiency approximation combines conventional power law related and a Langmuir-Hinshelwood type reaction efficiency correlation by Roberts and Satterfield. It was found that mass transfer limitation is substantial for highly temperature sensitive polytropic methanation reactor modelling. Despite high exothermic behaviour without active cooling, a stable model set-up was managed entirely without parameter fitting to experimental data for a naturally cooled methanation reactor with highly reactive and undiluted syngas feed. The modelled results of Co-SOEC syngas methanation agree well with the experiments over a wide variety of pressure and GHSV. The interaction and limiting factors of mass diffusion, reaction heat removal, kinetics and thermodynamics can be thoroughly analysed based on the established model, which is a key step for developing highly efficient methanation reactor systems in industrial scale.

Two weeks ago, I had the chance to present to the Young Members Group of the Structural Engineering Association of Metro Washington on the topic of Multi-Story Light-Frame Shear Wall Design. With all of the large firms in the D.C. area, it wasn't a big surprise to find out that only about one-third of the group had experience with light-frame shear wall design.
However, while researching civil/structural engineering programs in the Midwest and Northeast last week (for our Structural Engineering/Architecture Student Scholarship program), I was disappointed to find that only about a quarter of the top engineering programs offer a wood design course. So I thought it might be helpful to post a wood shear wall design example this week.
The example is fairly basic but includes an individual full-height and perforated shear wall analysis for the same condition. The design is based on wind loading and SPF framing, both common in the Midwest/Northeast, and is based on the provisions and terms listed in the 2008 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS), available for free download here, along with the recently posted 2015 version.
Multi-Story Shear Wall Example: Wind Loads with SPF Framing
- 2012 IBC & 2008 SDPWS
- 3-Story Wood Framed Shear Wall Line
- ASD Diaphragm Shear Forces from Wind as Shown
- Wall and Opening Dimensions as Shown
- Determine total shear force in each shear wall line.
- Determine the Induced Unit Shear Force, v, for use with both shear wall types and the Maximum Induced Unit Shear Force, vmax, for the perforated shear wall collectors, shear transfer, and uniform uplift. Note the following:
- vmax requires the determination of the Shear Capacity Adjustment Factor, CO, for the perforated shear wall.
- The SDPWS provides two methods for determining CO, a tabulated value or a calculated value. This example uses the more precise calculated value.
- The perforated method requires the collectors be designed for vmax and the bottom plate to be anchored for a uniform uplift equal to vmax (as illustrated in the following figure).
- Reverse wind loading will require a mirror image of the T & C forces shown in the following figure.
- The tension forces, T, shown in the example reflect the cumulative tension forces as they are transferred down from post-to-post, as is typical with traditional holdowns. For continuous rod systems like ATS, the incremental tension forces (resulting from the unit shear, vor vmax, at that level only) must also be determined as shown in the shear wall specification table at the end of this example.
- Individual Full-Height Shear Wall:
i. v3=227 plf: Use 7/16 OSB with a 6:12 nailing pattern which has an allowable load of 336 plf
ii. v2=409 plf: Use 7/16 OSB with a 4:12 nailing pattern which has an allowable load of 490 plf
iii. v1=591 plf: Use 7/16 OSB with a 3:12 nailing pattern which has an allowable load of 630 plf
B. Perforated Shear Wall (apply CO factor to allowable shear capacity):
i. v3=227 plf: Use 7/16 OSB with a 6:12 nailing pattern which has an allowable load of 255 plf
ii. v2=409 plf: Use 7/16 OSB with a 3:12 nailing pattern which has an allowable load of 479 plf
iii. v1=591 plf: Use 7/16 OSB on both sides of the wall with a 4:12 nailing pattern which has an allowable load of 338*2=676 plf
5. Size the posts for compression. Simpson provides some useful tables in the back of the connector catalog with allowable tension and compression loads for a variety of sizes, heights, and species of posts.
6. Select holdowns for the tensions loads and verify post sizes are sufficient. For higher aspect ratio shear walls, the post size and holdown type may significantly reduce the moment arm between center of tension and center of compression, resulting in higher tension and compression forces.
The tables below show the shear wall specification for the walls in the example in a typical format. Note that they do not include some detailing that is required for items such as the uniform uplift force on the bottom plate of all perforated shear walls, or the perforated shear walls with OSB sheathing on both sides.
There are different ways to address the loads, so let us know if you would do anything differently in your designs.
