text: From a Germanic word, karl, meaning 'free man', akin to Old English ceorl 'man'. The name, Latin form Carolus, owed its popularity in medieval Europe to the Frankish leader Charlemagne (?742–814), who in 800 established himself as Holy Roman Emperor. His name (Latin Carolus Magnus) means 'Charles the Great'. Carolus—or Karl, the German form—was a common name among Frankish leaders, including Charlemagne's grandfather Charles Martel (688–741). Charles is the French form. The name occurs occasionally in medieval Britain as Karolus or Carolus; it had a certain vogue in West Yorkshire from the 1400s, particularly among gentry families. The form Charles was chosen by Mary Queen of Scots (1542–87), who had been brought up in France, for her son, Charles James (1566–1625), who became King James VI of Scotland and, from 1603, James I of England. His son and grandson both reigned as King Charles, and the name thus became established in the 17th century both in the Stuart royal house and among English and Scottish supporters of the Stuart monarchy. In the 18th century it was to some extent favoured, along with James, by Jacobites, supporters of the exiled Stuarts, opposed to the Hanoverian monarchy, especially in the Highlands of Scotland. In the 19th century the popularity of the name was further enhanced by romanticization of the story of 'Bonnie Prince Charlie', leader of the 1745 rebellion.

Several years ago for a period of more than a year, I kept several live Rumina saharica, the smaller relative of the better known land snail Rumina decollata (actually, neither species is that well known). I had kept copious notes and took some photographs. So, recently I decided that I had enough data for a short paper and started working on it.
One activity that I was lucky enough to witness and photograph was R. saharica's mating.
In fact, I observed 2 pairs mating simultaneously next to each other. When I took this photograph, one pair had separated, but one snail (on the left) still had its penis everted (white arrow). The pair on the bottom was still mating. Their mating position is interesting: one snail lies on its side, while the other, also on its side, stretches its head over that of the lower snail. As far as I can tell, each snail inserts its penis into its mate's genital opening (red arrow).
Rumina decollata is known to be a facultative selfer, that is, it can reproduce without mating (Selander et al. 1974. Self-fertilization in the terrestrial snail Rumina decollata. Veliger 16: 265). Can R. saharica also reproduce without mating? You have to wait for my paper to learn the answer.

Prizes and Productivity
...there is a negative relationship between productivity and winning the Fields Medal...
The production of knowledge is central to long-term economic growth. Yet little is known about how knowledge is produced, making it difficult to design incentives to elicit effort from knowledge producers. Prizes are a common incentive for knowledge production; hundreds of scientific prizes are awarded throughout the world and across all scientific disciplines. Although these prizes are frequently awarded with the explicit goal of inspiring more and better scientific work, whether they are effective remains an open question.
In Prizes and Productivity: How Winning the Fields Medal Affects Scientific Output (NBER Working Paper No. 19445), authors George Borjas and Kirk Doran examine the impact of winning the Fields Medal on the post-medal productivity and research choices of mathematicians. The Fields Medal is the most prestigious award in mathematics, awarded every four years to a mathematician under the age of 40. Established by the Canadian mathematician John Charles Fields, the medal is often thought of as the "Nobel Prize of Mathematics."
The authors use archival data from the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematics Genealogy Project to estimate the age-productivity profile of these exceptional mathematicians along a number of different dimensions, including the number of papers published, citations received, and students mentored.
The authors find that the age-productivity profiles of the Fields Medal winners and the losing contenders in their cohort are similar until the year in which the medal is awarded. After the award, the rate of output of the Fields medalists, regardless of how it is measured, declines noticeably.
The authors also find that the medalists exhibit far greater cognitive mobility, shifting across sub-fields within mathematics, in the post-medal period. The winners are more likely to pursue topics that are not related to their pre-medal work. Because cognitive mobility is costly and additional time is required to prepare a paper in an unfamiliar field, the increased rate of cognitive mobility reduces the medalists' rate of output in the post-medal period. The data suggest that about half of the decreased productivity in the post-medal period can be attributed to the increased propensity for experimentation.
Although there is a negative relationship between productivity and winning the Fields Medal, the authors caution that other types of prizes may have different post-prize productivity effects. The Fields Medal is awarded at a relatively young age and the timing of the prize could have a significant impact on post-prize incentives. Similarly, mathematics is an unusual field in that researchers typically do not need expensive infrastructure to produce theorems. Prizes in the physical sciences, and even in economics, may open up funding opportunities that could significantly increase post-prize productivity for the winners.
The findings suggest that the post-prize productivity impact of winning a prestigious award can be substantial, affecting both the quantity and type of research the winners produce. The authors argue that the increased opportunities provided by the Fields Medal discouraged the recipients from continuing to produce the pure mathematics for which the medal was awarded, and encouraged time-consuming investments in ever more distant locations in the space of ideas.

Essay Question▾
Describe in Detail
What is process migration?
 - It is the transfer of sufficient amount of the state of process from one machine to the target machine.
 - Process migration is the relocation of a process from its source node to another destination node.
 - A process can either be migrated before it starts execution on its source node which is called as non-preemptive process or during the course of its execution that is known as preemptive process migration.
 - Preemptive process migration is more costly compared to non-preemptive because the process environment must accompany the process to its new node.
 - Steps involved in process migration:
 1. Process is selected for migration.
 2. Select destination node for the process to be migrated.
 3. Transfer of selected process to the destination node.
 - Migration policy is responsible for first two steps while third step is handles by migration mechanism.
 - Migration of a process is complex that involves handling various activities to meet the requirements for a good process migration.
 - The sub activities involved are:
 1. Freezing the process on its source node and restarting it on destination node
 2. Transferring the processes address space from restarting from its source to destination node.
 3. Forwarding messages meant for the migrant process.
 4. Handling communication between processes that have been placed at different nodes.
 - A preemptive process migration facility allows the transfer of an executing process from one node to another.
 - On the other hand, in system supporting only non-preemptive migration facility, a process can only be transferred prior to beginning its execution.
 - Preemptive process migration is costlier than non-preemptive process migration since the process state, which must accompany the process to its new node, becomes much more complex after execution begins
 Image of Process migration
 Image of Process Migration
 Given the image is define the way a process migrates from one node to another is shown in the figure.
 Advantages of process migration:
 1. Reducing average response time of processes
 To reduce the average response time of the processes, processes of a heavily loaded node are migrated to idle or underutilized nodes.
 2. Speeding up individual jobs
 - A migration of job to different node is done and executes them concurrently.
 - Migrate a job to a node having a faster CPU or to a node at which it has minimum turnaround time.
 - More speed up more migration cost involved.

A neural network capable of retrieval of sequential patterns is analysed. The authors treat the network proposed by Buhmann and Schulten (1987). Although they concluded that the thermal noise induces retrieval of sequential patterns, the authors show that the network has limit cycle solutions even at zero temperature. Behaviour of the network at high temperatures is also analysed. The transition temperatures between a high-temperature fixed point phase and a limit cycle phase are calculated numerically to draw a phase diagram. The characteristic features of the phase diagram are discussed. The reentrant transition temperatures between the limit cycle and low-temperature fixed point phases are calculated analytically.

Black Leaders In Central Texas Are Providing Food, Supplies To Underserved Communities Impacted By The Storm
Black-led organizations have been working to provide food, supplies and shelter to underserved communities in Central Texas throughout this week's winter storm. Now, as temperatures rise and the snow melts, leaders are mobilizing efforts to help people most in need face the aftermath.
"The sun is finally shining, the snow is melting away, but the pain and impact of this devastation is still there," Terry Mitchell of the Black Leaders Collective said during a press conference Friday. "Now more than ever it is clear how important community is in times of disaster here in Travis and Williamson County."
Over the last week, thousands of Austinites have gone without electricity for days amid freezing temperatures, and now many are left with very little water pressure or no water at all. On top of that, Austin and many surrounding cities are under a boil-water notice. And the lack of electricity and icy roads has increased food insecurity issues, which were already on the rise amid COVID-19.
The impact was only amplified for people facing racial and socioeconomic barriers.
"Central Texas has a history of failing to provide critical resources needed to support underserved communities," Chas Moore, founder of the Austin Justice Coalition and a member of the Collective, said in a press release. "However, politics aside, we know that individuals and families who are already faced with challenges need help, and they need it right now."
The Black Leaders Collective, a coalition of nonprofit, business and local government leaders in Central Texas, has set up a community support fund to help house, feed and provide clean water to minority residents impacted by the storm.
The Collective is also working with the Red Cross to set up an emergency supply distribution center at the former Sims Elementary School, 1203 Springdale Road. People can stop by to pick up supplies, like nonperishable food items and water. The center will be operating Saturday through Wednesday from noon to 6 p.m.
The group is looking for donations of baby food and formula, diapers, blankets, nonperishable groceries, clean water, personal protective equipment, toiletries, medications and socks — all of which can be dropped off on site between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The organization has also teamed up with Black-owned restaurants to provide free meals to people in need as part of a new initiative called "Feeding the Village." Starting Saturday at noon people can access free meals at Rolling Rooster, 3 Chicks Soul Food and Emojis in Austin and Gossip Shack in Pflugerville. The meals are first come, first serve, and one meal will be provided per person.
The Black Leaders Collective is looking for volunteers to help run the distribution center. The organization says to follow these directions to sign up:
- Go to _URL_
- On the main screen, scroll down to the link and words that says "Apply Now"
- Complete the five steps to become a volunteer
- Contact information
- Terms and Agreements
- Background Check
- Then make sure you click through all of the links to verify/authorize background check.
- Many people tend to get hung up on that piece.

Who left the fridge door open?
According to the USDA, if the door is left open for less than 4 hours, the food is generally safe to eat. However, the answer for this isn't as clear-cut as always; it will depend on the type of the food in the fridge. Milk, eggs, and food that contain either of the two are the most likely to spoil.
What happens when the fridge door is left open?
If you leave your refrigerator door open for a long time, the temperature inside your fridge will start increasing as all the cooling will be released in thin air and this will turn the food warm. The wastage and spoilage mostly depend on the type of food and time for which the door was open.
Why do people leave the fridge open?
When you open your refrigerator, the cold air that keeps your food fresh escapes and is replaced by warm air from the room. Your refrigerator's compressor has to then drive the warm air out and bring the temperature back to normal, elevating not only your monthly energy bill, but also your environmental footprint.
How long can fridge be left open?
The average time you can leave a fridge open without food spoiling is between two and four hours. The factors that affect this time are: The age of the fridge. The type of food in the fridge.
How warm can a refrigerator get before food goes bad?
Before using any foods, check your refrigerator and freezer thermometers. If the fridge is still at or below 40 °F, or the food has been above 40 °F for only 2 hours or less, it should be safe to eat.
Does leaving the fridge door open waste electricity?
The longer the door is left open, the more cool air escapes (replaced by warm room air), and the more energy your fridge wastes.
What happens if you leave the freezer door open overnight?
Leaving the freezer door open allows warm air to mix with cold air, causing moisture to form. From there, it starts to have trouble keeping the temperature cool. Ice formation around the freezer coils also inhibits cooling since the ice will prevent air circulation.
When the door of a refrigerator is kept open?
If a refrigerator's door is kept open, then room will become hot, because then refrigerator exhaust more heat into the room than earlier. In this way, temperature of the room increases and room becomes hot. No refrigerator is efficient. Thus it exhaust more heat into the room than it extract from it.
How long does a fridge take to get cold after being off?
Normally a refrigerator takes about three hours at minimum and 24 hours maximum to get at the right cold temperature and safe enough to store food inside. The proper temperature for storing your food items or groceries is that the compartments should reach 40 degrees and the freezer must be at 5 degrees.
Is keeping the fridge open bad?
The longer the fridge door opens the greater the amount of cold air falls out of the fridge and is replaced by room temperature air. However, opening the fridge too often, even if briefly, in a short period of time will drain the fridge of the cold air inside it.
Are eggs safe to eat if left out overnight?
"A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the movement of bacteria into the egg and increasing the growth of bacteria. Refrigerated eggs should not be left out more than two hours." Consumers themselves should not try to wash their eggs, the USDA warns.
Do eggs have to be refrigerated?
In the United States, fresh, commercially produced eggs need to be refrigerated to minimize your risk of food poisoning. However, in many countries in Europe and around the world, it's fine to keep eggs at room temperature for a few weeks. If you're still unsure, refrigeration is the safest way to go.
What keeps the refrigerator cold?
The compressor is the "heart" of a refrigerator. The evaporator is located inside a refrigerator and is the part that makes the items in the refrigerator cold. As the refrigerant turns from a liquid into a gas through evaporation, it cools the area around it, producing the proper environment for storing food.

New bitumen binder put to the test in long-term study with Highways England and Tarmac
A NEW bitumen binder which aims to increase the lifespan of roads and reduce the need for roadwork interventions is being put to the test in a long-term study. A section of dual carriageway in Northamptonshire has become the first in the country to be resurfaced with the pioneering new product called TOTAL STYRELF Long Life.
England's motorways and major A-roads are expected to be resurfaced every 10–12 years because water ingress, UV exposure and oxidation cause the surface to deteriorate and crack. However, laboratory tests have shown that TOTAL STYRELF Long Life can protect the road surface from the elements so well that roads built with it could last for a longer period of time without the need for intervention.
TOTAL UK have worked in partnership with Highways England and Tarmac to resurface a busy section of the A43 near Silverstone, in Northamptonshire, using the new mix.
TOTAL STYRELF Long Life is designed to be more resistant to the elements by oxidizing more slowly. This retards the ageing process and means the road surface stays flexible for longer. Consequently, the binder's initial performance characteristics, such as resistance to fatigue, fretting, and thermal cracking, are retained for longer.
Rick Ashton, market development manager at TOTAL UK, said: 'Our key focus is sustainability through durability. These long-life binders will contribute to achieving clients' decarbonization goals by reducing roadworks, saving manufacturing, transport and installation energy, and the associated emissions. This trial paves the way for enhanced highways asset management and predictive deterioration modelling for Highways England.'
TOTAL UK estimate that getting the asphalt required to resurface a mile of single-lane carriageway – not including transport to site – can produce up to 26.5 tonnes of CO2. If roads lasted longer, so that two resurfacing interventions could be avoided, the reduction in asphalt production alone could save the equivalent of the CO2 produced by an average car if it was driven for more than 270,000 miles – more than 10 times around the Earth.
Three sections of the A43 in Northamptonshire have been surfaced – the first with a standard bitumen, the second with TOTAL STYRELF eXtreme 100 and the third with TOTAL STYRELF Long Life.
The trial could run for up to 15 years, with TOTAL UK experts taking samples from each section of the carriageway at regular intervals to measure the ageing performance and key characteristics of the bitumen, and to understand the degradation caused by oxidation and UV exposure.
The new technology has previously been tested in TOTAL's laboratories and on sections of road in Holland and Germany, but the A43 trial is the first time it has been used with such high traffic levels anywhere in the world.
Mike Wilson, Highways England's chief highways engineer, commented: 'We're always looking for innovative ways to help us keep England's motorways and major A-roads in good condition. The ultimate priority for us is safety, so we invest in new technology and materials to keep those using the roads safe. Longer-lasting roads means fewer roadworks, less disruption for motorists and a more sustainable network for everyone.'
Brian Kent, technical director at Tarmac, said: 'As part of our corporate commitment to sustainability, boosting efficiencies and delivering improved whole-life performance across the network, we're always pushing to introduce any new technology or innovation that can further improve the durability of the roads we maintain.
'What we have in this case is essentially an anti-ageing cream for roads – just as these products are designed to reduce and prevent the signs of fine lines and overall ageing of the skin, the new bitumen being trialled on the A43 will protect the road surface.
'It not only has the potential to offer improved value for money to the public purse, but also contains properties to increase the overall lifespan of roads. Through preventing cracks to the surface of the road caused by elements such as air and water, the longer-life bitumen has the ability to reduce disruption, deliver long-term carbon savings and, importantly, help network operators to better manage their assets.'


Setting Your Gateway Heartbeat to 0 Minutes to Transmit Sensor Messages Immediately
Configuring your gateway to transmit sensor messages as soon as they are received
With default configuration, gateway Heartbeats are set to occur on a schedule. This means that gateways receive sensor communications on the sensor Heartbeats, and queue the readings for delivery to the Monnit software on the gateway Heartbeat. There is a manner by which this behavior can be change so that the gateway transmits sensor readings to the Monnit software as soon as it is received by the gateway.
Setting your gateway's Heartbeat to 0 minutes
Configuring your gateway's Heartbeat to 0 will implement the operation by which it transmits sensor readings to the Monnit software as soon as the reading is received at the gateway. This does not change the sensor behavior or Heartbeat Interval, but it does result in sensor readings being more quickly viewable in the Monnit software. While the default configuration for a gateway is to immediately transmit Aware State messages to the Monnit software as soon as the readings are received at the gateway, this configuration will make it so all sensor readings are immediately transmitted to the Monnit software immediately when they are received.
Data limit consideration
It is important to consider any applicable data limits when implementing this configuration. For example, if you are using a cellular gateway, the standard cellular plan provided by Monnit is 1 MB per month. Therefore if you implement this configuration on a gateway receiving data from multiple sensors, it can be very easy to exceed the 1 MB monthly data limit. This should be a major consideration if you have any sort of data limit to the gateway's data connection.
Default Heartbeat configurations for each gateway type
Note: It is worth noting that not all gateway types support a 0 heartbeat. If you find that the iMonnit UI does not allow you to set your gateway's heartbeat to 0, it is not supported by that gateway.
It is worth noting the default Heartbeat configuration for each gateway type listed below.
Ethernet Gateway: 5 minutes
4G LTE Cellular Gateway: 15 minutes
3G Cellular Gateway: 60 minutes
2G Cellular Gateway: 60 minutes
Wireless Sensor Adapter/USB Gateway: 5 minutes
Why this might be useful
This configuration can be useful if your installation requires you to see standard sensor readings and Aware State readings without the delay of waiting for a gateway check in. An example of where this might be useful is when operating with WebHooks. Since WebHooks are triggered by gateway communication, there can often be JSON from multiple sensor readings delivered on each WebHook. Some customers find that parsing this data can be more challenging when there are readings from multiple sensors. Therefore, configuring your gateway's Heartbeat to 0 will trigger a WebHook on each sensor check in, rather than including multiple sensor readings in one WebHook.
Note: while this is generally the behavior with a 0 minute gateway Heartbeat configuration, there can still be occasions where multiple sensor readings are transmitted in a gateway communication. Therefore it is important to plan for this in any code you write that parses the WebHooks.
Conclusion
In applications where retrieving all sensor data messages immediately when they are received by the gateway, this configuration can prove useful. If you have related inquiries, feel free to contact _EMAIL_ .

Liquid Chromatography Detectors - The UV Detectors > The Diode Array Detector > Page 52
If the peak was pure, the ratio of the adsorption at the two wavelengths (those selected were 225 and 245 nm) would remain constant throughout the elution of the entire peak. The upper diagram in figure 31 shows this ratio plotted on the same time scale and it is seen that a clean rectangular peak is observed which unambiguously confirms the purity of the peak for chlorthalidone. The wavelength chosen to provide the confirming ratio will depend on the UV adsorption characteristics of the substance concerned, relative to those of the most likely impurities to be present, consequently the wavelengths must be chosen with some circumspection. Another interesting example of the use of the diode array detector to confirm the integrity of an eluted peak is afforded by the separation of the series of hydrocarbons shown in figure 32.
The separation was carried out on a column 3 cm long, 4.6 mm in diameter and packed with a C18 reversed phase on particles 3 m in diameter.

Figure 32. The Separation of Some Aromatic Hydrocarbons
The separation appears to be satisfactory and all the peaks appear to represent individual solutes; without further evidence, it would be reasonable to assume that all the peaks were pure. However, by plotting the adsorption ratio,, for the anthracene peak it becomes apparent that the peak tail contains an impurity as the clean rectangular shape of the peak top is not shown. The absorption ratio peaks are shown in figure 33.

This is similar to playing a sport whereby if you have no understanding of the rules your opponent gets bored, and without understanding the rules of the sport you are likely to come away second best.
To function successfully in China, and therefore maximise your business success it is crucial to know how to recognise and respond effectively to the 36 Chinese Strategies. Knowledge of the Chinese negotiating culture, which means how the 36 Chinese Strategies are used, is your greatest asset.
An example of how one of the 36 Chinese Strategies is used is in Strategy three 'Murder with a Borrowed Knife - 借刀杀人. Strategy Three is applied is a situations where you meet with your Chinese contacts. In such a scenario this may be the fifth meeting and you are getting closer to discussing a deal. You are likely to discover that the head Chinese person will not be the one who asks the difficult questions such as "can you lower the price?" Rather the person with the lower status will ask this question. Likewise the head person will not complain, as complaints will be done by the person with less status to conserve the leader's strength and reputation. Strategy Three - 'Murder with a Borrowed Knife - 借刀杀人 - enables the leader to "preserve their strength" while other issues are still being worked out. This is similar to how the King moves on the chessboard, because the King on the chessboard is the most powerful piece on the board and moves the least.

It is a little-known fact that Yoga first began in Africa, specifically Kemet (ancient Egypt). … According to the book The Metu Neter by Ra UN Nefer Amen, these ancient Africans migrated to India and became what are now known as the Dravidian Indians.
Did Yoga originated in Africa or India?
The popular understanding is that yoga asana dates back at least 5,000 years and was practiced by ancient Indian ascetics. But some say its earliest documentation is actually 10,000 years ago, depicted on temple walls in Egypt.
Where did yoga originated from?
Is yoga an Egyptian?
Kemetic yoga originated in ancient Egypt, then known as "Kemet". Its modern day practice was developed by claiming association with many hieroglyphic texts from the time as well as the wall carvings and paintings on Egyptian temples which portray pharaohs in stretching postures.

When was yoga really invented?
How old is the practice of yoga?
Researchers and historians trace the development of yoga back 5,000 years. Some take yoga origins even further back to 10,000 years. Now that's ancient! But because the philosophies and practice of yoga were originally transmitted orally, some mysteries may always remain.

Samadhi is a painful experience to begin with because you are awarded an extra dimensional layer of spirit. During the initial phase your nerves gets charged from the heavens and it can be disruptive. This process alone takes 4 and a half years to complete.
Is yoga a Hindu or Buddhist?
What happens to your body if you do yoga everyday?
If you do yoga every day, you will get stronger
"You will become stronger and physically fit because you use your body weight to strengthen all your major muscle groups," she explained to The List. "It takes great strength to build up to certain poses that require coordination, poise, and power."
Can Christians do yoga?
This is the beauty of the modern yoga practice – it helps us unite the different parts of ourselves (body, mind, heart, and spirit) and from this place of integrated wholeness, be one with God. … Nevertheless, there are people who will say Christians should not participate in any sort of yoga because of its roots.

Message-Id:
(In basic pattern, I guess it goes without saying that a basic pattern
is a *finite* set of triple pattens?)
""Definition: Substitution
Substitution is a function from a subset of the set of variables, V,
the domain of the substitution, dom(S), to the set of RDF terms, T.
 We write S(v) for the substitution of variable."""
Proposed revision
"""**A** substitution is a relation from a subset of V, its
domain,to RDF-T.
We write dom(S) for the domain of a substitution.
 We write S(v) for the substitution of **a** variable."""
(The articles definitey need to get in there.)
(If the editors want to keep "the set of variables V" etc. for clarity,
that's fine. But it definitely should be either T or RDF-T everywhere.)
(I have a worry about the S(v) notation, but will take it up below.)
"""Definition: Restriction
 If X is a subset of dom(S) and dom(S')=X and S'(v) = S(v) for all v in
X then S' is the restriction of S to X, written S|X."""
First, where are restrictions used? I see the word used in constraints
but it doesn't seem to be doing the same thing (i.e., there it is a
restriction on the *ranges*, not of the domain of a substitution).
Second, the definitoin and notation are confusing. Esp. if unused :)
Here's a revision:
"The substitution R is a restriction of S if dom(R) is a subset of
dom(S) and for all v in dom(R), R(v) = S(v). R is known as the
restriction of S to dom(R), and written rest(S, dom(R))."
Ok, the recursion on dom(R) is a bit ugly, but I'm unclear why we need
the restriction of Foo *to* Bar in the first place.
Definition: Pattern Instance
 If S is a substitution then the result of replacing any v in a basic
pattern P by S(v) is a pattern instance of P, written S(P)."""
So, pattern instances don't have to replace all their query variables?
In other words, not all pattern instances are rdf graphs, but some are
themselves patterns?
Where are pattern instances used?
BTW, I find having S(v) and S(P) mean different things *frightfully*
confusing. Also, S(P) isn't even a function according to the above
definition, since, given that S is
 ?x = ex:foo
 ?y = ex:bar
and a basic pattern
 (?x ex:baz?y)
S(P) can be (ex:foo ex:baz?y) and (?x ex:baz ex:bar) and (ex:foo
ex:baz ex:bar). Is that 'any' up there supposed to be an 'every'? (Or
read with the force of an 'every', as in 'any variable in P is replaced
by S(that variable)'?
I asked someone else how they read it and they read it the same as me.
(Note, I may have biased the reading.)
"""Definition: Pattern Solution
 A Pattern Solution of Graph Pattern GP on graph G is any substitution
S such that S(GP) is a subgraph of G."""
Undefined (and unlinked), Graph Pattern, graph, and subgraph. Note that
the last two are defined:
and are the same *assuming* that S(P) goes to graphs, not basic
patterns. Which I guess it must or this all makes no sense :)
I'm very unclear how bnodes play out. It seems to me that any query
with a blank node cannot have a match. On the one hand:
"Blank Nodes and Queries
A blank node can appear in a SPARQL query patterns. It behaves as a
variable, although it can not be named in the query result form, such
But it can never appear in a substition (given the definition of
substitution and the disjointness of V from RDF-T). I presume that
bnodes in query patterns are distinct from bnodes in the queried graph,
regardless of their lexical form, thus any Graph Pattern (GP) with
bnodes will lack any pattern solutions, since every S(GP) will fail to
be a subgraph of any other graph (at least, given the RDF Semantics and
the obvious meaning of subgraph). One could get around this by saying:
"""A Pattern Solution of Graph Pattern GP on graph G is any
substitution S such that S(GP) is simply entailed by G."""
Or if one is adverse to simple entailment, one could say:
substitution S such that there is a subgraph of G which is an
RDF-semantics-instance-of S(GP)."""
One could also expand the definition of Substitution, or of variables.
We've already liberalized the subject position, why not liberalize the
predicate position as well?
(Ok, I actually don't really want predicate variables to be bnodes
because I want to generate a OWL Direct model theoretic compatible
semantics, in which predicate variables are, in fact, metalinguistic.
But it is a solution. I don't think it'd be hard to extend the RDF
model theory to handle this extension.)

Game design – Ensuring there's Always a valid way/path
Today I would like to write about a simple but very important game design concept that is to ensure there is always a way or path.
In arcade games, one of the challenges when generating random levels is to get the right difficulty without risking impossible situations (or "No-exit" situation). Let's imagine the game is about a rocket that flies with a constant speed and needs to dodge circles that appear as he moves.
Ok, now that we have an idea about the amazing visuals of the game, these are our requirements:
- Random levels
- Difficulty progression with time
- The game must be fair so there must always be a path (no blockades where the player will die for sure)
Requirements 1. and 2. are easy to implement. In this case, for example, it would be enough to create new circles on a random Y at a right-offscreen position every X seconds. To make the difficulty progression, X would decrease with time. The problem with this approach is that as X gets smaller and the number of circles starts to get larger, the probabilities of a no-exit situation increase.
How to solve this problem? Well, there are different possible approaches depending on the complexity of the game and some design choices, I'll show you 2, the "Workaround way" and the "Pregenerated Path" way:
The Workaround way
A classic trick to solve this problem is to change the problem itself. Predetermine some hardcoded safe values (frequency in the example) to generate obstacles that for sure will not cause a non-exit situation. This frequency will remain constant through the game. Now, to increase the difficulty, instead of increasing the frequency generating more and more obstacles, just progressively increase the rocket speed. This moves the challenge from geometry path-finding to reaction time.
The Pregenerated Path way
If the first way is not an option, we need to make sure when creating the obstacles that there will be a path. To do that we need 3 things.
- Generate a random path for the rocket. You don't need to care about any obstacle, just make sure it moves randomly up and down as the rocket would do. We'll call this the Safety Path.
- Define the size for a bounding box for the rocket that we'll call Safety Area. Imagine the Safety Area follows the safety path. If you were playing the game you should be able to keep the rocket inside the Safety Area.
- Finally, when generating the obstacles, make sure they will not overlap the Safety Area on the future time T when the obstacle is at the same x position than the rocket. It may be necessary to make multiple checks (on an interval around T) depending on factors such as the width of the obstacles, Safety Path changes of direction, etc…
Here you can see a couple of examples to illustrate the way we've implemented it:
1. This level is about dodging bouncing circles
This one is about dodging shrinking circles
And a bit messier with rotating rectangles…
- Blue Rectangle is the Safety Area
- White dots on first screenshot and grey rectangles center point is the Safety Path
- Yellow shapes are the exact position and shape of the obstacles on T (plus extra checks)
- Light Blue circle is the main character
- Black shapes with white glow is the current position an shape of the obstacles
Even if it took some time to create the foundations for this checks, once done it allows us to add any amount and type of objects with randomly generated speed, shape, angular velocity, etc… to our levels without needing to worry about "no-exit" situations.

text: The transverse dimensions of pulp fibres influence strongly their response to the papermaking process, and most end-use properties of products. However, fibre transverse dimensions are difficult to measure. Confocal microscopy combined with image analysis has been used for rapid and accurate measurement of fibre wall cross-sectional area,perimeter, and thickness. Results on kraft pulp fibres obtained from a variety of wood species are presented. They demonstrate how fibre transverse dimensions are distributed within a species, and can be described analytically. Comparison between different species shows that species with coarse or thick-walled fibres are likely to be more heterogeneous. Implications for pulp quality and fibre selection for end-use requirements are discussed.

Employment law changes – 1st October 2015
Numerous employment law changes came into force today as a result of the Deregulation Act 2015. Key changes include:
- Sikhs will now have the right to wear a turban instead of a safety helmet across almost all workforces in Great Britain. Until now, this right was restricted to Sikhs within certain workplaces. It should be noted that there will be some limited exceptions, such as specific roles within the military and emergency services.
- The power of employment tribunals to make wider recommendations in discrimination cases will no longer be available.
In addition to the changes introduced by the Deregulation Act 2015, The National Minimum Wage Amendment Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/971) ("the NMW Regulations") came into force today. The NMW Regulations change the rates of national minimum wage in accordance with recommendations from the Low Pay Commission. The following rates will now apply:
- Standard adult rate (workers aged 21 and over) = £6.70 p/h
- Development rate (workers aged between 18-20) = £5.30 p/h
- Young workers rate (workers aged under 18 but above compulsory school age) = £3.87 p/h
- Apprentice wage = £3.30 p/h
Later in October 2015, it is expected that large businesses will be required to publish an annual slavery and human trafficking statement, setting out the action they have taken to ensure that their supply chains are free from slavery.
If your business is affected by any of the above changes or if you would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our Employment Law team.Back to index

Dihydropyridine (DHP) is a molecule based upon pyridine, and the parent of a class of molecules that have been semi-saturated with two substituents replacing one double bond. They are particularly well known in pharmacology as L-type calcium channel blockers, used in the treatment of hypertension. Compared with certain other L-type calcium channel blockers (for example those of the phenylalkylamine class such as verapamil) that have significant action at the heart, they are relatively vascular selective in their mechanism of action in lowering blood pressure.

In this study the results of magnetic tests, carried out by an experimental model device employing a High Critical Temperature bulk Superconductor (HTCS) ring above circular iron-magnetic guideway, are presented and discussed. The model device simulates, by analogy, the electromagnetic behaviour of magnetic levitation vehicle, using bulk HTCS on board, riding above the iron-magnetic guideway. In the wide range of work conditions magnetic levitation experiments were conducted and lift and drag forces were measured. Moreover numerical analyses by two-dimensional finite element parametric models were carried out; the results are presented in terms of levitation, guidance forces and flux density distribution.

SAMPLE STATISTICS: mean sitting height (x bar)=92.8cm, size (n)=36 male students.
POPULATION STATISTIC: mean sitting height (µ)=91.4cm, standard deviation (σ)=3.6cm.
CLAIM: Mean sitting height is different from 91.4cm.
COUNTERCLAIM: Mean sitting height is 91.4cm.
SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL: ɑ=0.05 (95% confidence level)
Null hypothesis, H₀: µ=91.4 (counterclaim)
Alternative hypothesis, H₁: µ≠91.4 (claim)
This is a 2-tail test, because "not equals" means less than (left tail) or greater than (right tail), so the significance level is split equally between the two tails giving us the required confidence interval of 95%.
Z=(x bar-µ)/(σ/√n)=(92.8-91.4)/(3.6/√36)=1.4/0.6=2.333, corresponding to a P-value of 0.0098. The given test statistic is 0.0198.
ɑ/2=0.025 and sample P-value 0.0098<0.025, and 0.0198<0.025, which means that H₀ is rejected, and H₁ is accepted to be true. The conclusion is that the claim is true, that the mean sitting height of male students is different from 91.4cm.

History of pocket squares
Pocket squares as a fashion accessory for formal attire have only been around since the beginning of the 20th century. Especially popular in the 1920s, men used to wear a pocket square in combination with a suit, a vest, and the era's typical fedora hat.
The origins of the pocket square:
Initially pocket squares came from the linen handkerchiefs used for personal hygiene. Handkerchiefs have been used for over 600 years. It is said that the handkerchief was invented by Richard II of England (_PHONE_) "as a little piece of cloth for the lord king to wide and clean his nose". Initially only the upper class adopted the use of a linen hankerchief, but by the 17th century the handkerchief was as quite common among all classes throughout western Europe.
Pocket Squares as a fashion accessory:
Initially handkerchiefs were placed in the trousers' pockets since it was seen as un-clean to show a "used" handerchief in the visible breast pocket of a man's jacket. As 2 piece suits came into fashion in the 19th century, many men started to place their clean pocket square into the breast pocket of their jacket to protect it from dirt and other objects, such as coins, in their trousers' pockets. After use the pocket square would move from the breast pocket to the trousers' pockets.
The look of the pocket square in the breast pocket became more popular, especially after specific folding techinques came into use. By the 1920s the pocket square had become more of a fashion accessory than having any other purpose. Often times men had a poacket square in their breast pocket, and another handerchief in their trousers meant for wiping their hands or cleaning their nose.
Later on, during the 40s and 50s the linen handkerchiefs were viewed us unhygenic. The kleenex company, founded in 1924, was the first company to make disposable handkerchiefs. As a result, the linen handkershief was replaced, and only used as a fashion accessory in form of a pocket square. Pocket squares are still today a very fashionable piece of accessory for any formal or even business attire.

I am trying to do a classification exercise on email docs (strings containing words).
I defined the distance function as following:
def distance(wordset1, wordset2):
if len(wordset1) < len(wordset2):
return len(wordset2) - len(wordset1)
elif len(wordset1) > len(wordset2):
return len(wordset1) - len(wordset2)
elif len(wordset1) == len(wordset2):
You didn't mention the type of
wordset2. I'll assume they are both
You defined your distance as the word counting and got a bad score. It's obvious text length is not a good dissimilarity measure: two emails with different sizes can talk about the same thing, while two emails of same size be talking about completely different things.
So, as suggested above, you could try and check for SIMILAR WORDS instead:
import numpy as np def distance(wordset1, wordset2): wordset1 = set(wordset1.split()) wordset2 = set(wordset2.split()) common_words = wordset1 & wordset2 if common_words: return 1 / len(common_words) else: # They don't share any word. They are infinitely different. return np.inf
The problem with that is that two big emails are more likely to share words than two small ones, and this metric would favor those, making them "more similar to each other" in comparison to the small ones. How do we solve this? Well, we normalize the metric somehow:
import numpy as np def distance(wordset1, wordset2): wordset1 = set(wordset1.split()) wordset2 = set(wordset2.split()) common_words = wordset1 & wordset2 if common_words: # The distance, normalized by the total # number of different words in the emails. return 1 / len(common_words) / (len(wordset1 | wordset2)) else: # They don't share any word. They are infinitely different. return np.inf
This seems cool, but completely ignores the FREQUENCY of the words. To account for this, we can use the Bag-of-words model. That is, create a list of all possible words and histogram their appearance in each document. Let's use CountVectorizer implementation from scikit-learn to make our job eaiser:
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer def distance(wordset1, wordset2): model = CountVectorizer() X = model.fit_transform([wordset1, wordset2]).toarray() # uses Euclidean distance between bags. return np.linalg.norm(X - X)
But now consider two pairs of emails. The emails in the first pair are composed by perfectly written English, full of "small" words (e.g.
that) necessary for it to be grammatically correct. The emails in the second pair are different: only containing the keywords, it's extremely dry. You see, chances are the first pair will be more similar than the second one. That happens because we are currently accounting for all words the same, while we should be prioritizing the MEANINGFUL words in each text. To do that, let's use term frequency–inverse document frequency. Luckly, there's a very similar implementation in scikit-learn:
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer def distance(wordset1, wordset2): model = TfidfVectorizer() X = model.fit_transform([wordset1, wordset2]).toarray() similarity_matrix = X.dot(X.T) # The dissimilarity between samples wordset1 and wordset2. return 1-similarity_matrix[0, 1]
Read more about this in this question. Also, duplicate?
You should now have a fairly good accuracy. Try it out. If it's still not as good as you want, then we have to go deeper... (get it? Because... Deep-learning). The first thing is that we need either a dataset to train over or an already trained model. That's required because networks have many parameters that MUST be adjusted in order to provide useful transformations.
What's been missing so far is UNDERSTANDING. We histogrammed the words, striping them from any context or meaning. Instead, let's keep them where they are and try to recognize blocks of patterns. How can this be done?
Let's use Keras to simply our lives. It should look something like this:
#... imports and params definitions model = Sequential([ Embedding(max_features, embedding_dims, input_length=maxlen, dropout=0.2), Convolution1D(nb_filter=nb_filter, filter_length=filter_length, border_mode='valid', activation='relu', subsample_length=1), MaxPooling1D(pool_length=model.output_shape), Flatten(), Dense(256, activation='relu'), ]) #... train or load model weights. def distance(wordset1, wordset2): global model # X =... # Embed both emails. X = sequence.pad_sequences(X, maxlen=maxlen) y = model.predict(X) # Euclidean distance between emails. return np.linalg.norm(y-y)
There's a practical example on sentence processing which you can check Keras github repo. Also, someone solves this exact same problem using a siamese recurrent network in this stackoverflow question.
Well, I hope this gives you some direction. :-)

The widely distributed ant genus Tetramorium is among the most species-rich ant genera in the world. Currently, we know 600 species, but scientists expect the total count to be closer to 700 or more species. Most of those species are found in the tropics and subtropics and Madagascar is the place where it is by far the most species-rich ant genus.
Colleagues have now found and described a new member of the genus: Tetramorium cavernicola
The name of the new species is Latin and means "cave dweller" or "cave inhabitant". It refers to the fact that the species is known only from a cave in Ankarana.
Abstract: In this study we provide an update to the taxonomy of the ant genus Tetramorium Mayr in Madagascar. We report the first record of the T. setigerum species group in Madagascar and describe the only Malagasy representative as T. cavernicola sp. n., which is known only from a cave in Ankarana. In addition, we provide an overview of the 19 proposed Malagasy species groups, and discuss their zoogeography and relationships to other groups and larger lineages within the hyper-diverse genus Tetramorium. At present, we recognise a highly unique Malagasy Tetramorium fauna with 113 species endemic to the island of Madagascar out of a total of 125 translating into an endemism rate of 93%. We hypothesise that this fauna is based on one or a few colonisation events from the Afrotropical region, with subsequent adaptive radiation in Madagascar. Furthermore, we present an updated and illustrated identification key to the Tetramorium species groups in the Malagasy region.

In nuclear plants, the inspection of heat exchanger tubes is usually carried out by using eddy current nondestructive testing. A numerical model, based on a volume integral approach using the Green's dyadic formalism, has been developed, with support from the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety, to predict the response of an eddy current bobbin coil to 3D flaws located in the tube's wall. With an aim of integrating this model into the NDE multi techniques platform CIVA, it has been validated with experimental data for 2D and 3D flaws.

Interactive Vieweing: SUPER WHY & The Three Little PigsEach day of Reading Camp begins with an interactive viewing of the SUPER WHY episode of the week. That means that you and your campers won't simply watch the episode, you'll chime in with the songs, answers questions, and join the characters in solving the problems and saving the day. Young children are active learners—they learn best through play, exploration, and conversations with their teachers and fellow campers.
WatchTake notes in your Learning Log as you watch the slideshow.
ReviewThe SUPER WHY television show invites young viewers to build their early reading skills by becoming part of the reading adventures. Here are some of the strategies Deborah uses to build enthusiasm, maintain focus, and get every child actively participating.
1. Involve campers right from the start.
Use the questions in the Reading Camp Curriculum to deepen children's understanding of the story and help them focus on the early literacy goal of the day: on Day 1—Alpha Pig's letter identification skills.4. Keep the energy flowing by getting into the action.
Join your campers in the fun. At the end of the discussion, hand out masks to the campers and transform yourselves into the Super Reader of the day: Alpha Pig to the rescue!
Teacher-to-Teacher Tips"We chose to cut out all of the masks in advance, including the eye holes, and we glued each mask to a jumbo-sized tongue depressor. When it came time to transform into each character, we simply passed out that mask, which the kids could hold with one hand in front of their face. They could use their other hand to put into the circle as directed."
—Trista Peitzman, Johnston, Iowa
"Because the kids are so much a part of the action, there is not much challenge in keeping them engaged with the episode. Each day, we talk about what we are going to look for—the Super Reader of the day, of course, but also specific things that the character does."
—Loretta Baker, Baltimore, Maryland
"Children really like the episode—even on the last day. They love knowing all the answers!"
-Kathy Smith, Toledo, Ohio

In your subject, you call these things "purpose-clause compound nouns."
Strictly speaking, none of these are compound nouns, which in TKD are
individual words consisting of multiple nouns. All of your examples may
be described as noun phrases, but you can't get more specific when
describing all of them. They break down into purpose clauses and
genitive phrases.

I think it's arbitrary, and you just have to learn which way it's said.
I also think you wouldn't be particularly wrong if you said *chevmeH
tlhoy'* instead of *chevwI' tlhoy',* for example. It would be like the
difference between /border wall/ and /wall of the border:/ one is said
and the other isn't, but the other is still perfectly understandable.

Genitive is a broad concept, and Klingon noun-nouns seem to embrace that
breadth. You seem to be sensing sub-types of genitive. Here's a page
that breaks down various types that appear in Latin:
. Klingon grammar treats
them all the same.

Middle Of The World Tour
The city Middle Of The World is a commemorative monument to the middle of the world, where the equator settles and splits the world into the two hemispheres. It's located 26 km north of the city of Quito and the coordinates for this place are 0°0'0'' (Not exactly, though).
 On this tour, you can also visit the Ethnographic Museum Middle of the World, a place with lots of activities to do and things to learn about indigenous people in Ecuador.
Middle of the Wold | Mitad del mundo | Travel Ecuador | Quirutoa
One of the most popular places to visit in Ecuador!
The first monument, or ruins rather, was built by an ancient indigenous culture named Quitu-Cara and it's actually situated at latitude 0 (0°0′0″N 78°25′43″W). It was discovered in 1736 as a result of an expedition called The French Geodesic Mission. In the following years, the scouts of this great mission defined the equatorial line after deep studies and measurements. The Ecuadorian Government built a 10 meters-high monument honoring the study and hard work of the french scouts, which later on would be replaced by a 30 meters-high monument.
Yet, the location of this monument is actually incorrect. Later on, it was discovered that the line drawn by the french expedition is off by 240 meters south of the true equator. Yet, the monument was already built so it's in this place where the middle of the world is commemorated.

Practical Tips: Transferring The Mangled Extremity
Managing the mangled extremity is both challenging and intense. There is always pressure to do all we can to save that threatened limb. But as you know, different levels of trauma centers have different capabilities and specialists that are needed to fully manage these injuries.
Level I centers have a comprehensive set of specialists to deal with the managed extremity, including trauma surgeons, vascular surgeons, orthopedic surgeons comfortable with complex injury, plastic surgeons, and interventional radiologists. The expectation is that a mangled extremity can be completely managed at such a center.
Level III centers have much more limited resources, and may only have a trauma surgeon to perform the initial evaluation. Definitive management can only occur after transfer to a Level I center.
Level II centers often find themselves in a kind of limbo. They have most of the specialties required, but those specialists may have varying comfort levels regarding addressing complex injuries. Some Level II centers may be able to keep these patients, but many will find that they need to transfer to their upstream Level I partner.
What do transferring trauma centers need to do before actually moving the patient? Here are some practical tips.
 - Evaluate quickly. The bottom line is to try to preserve function, so time is of the essence. Do a thorough evaluation of the anatomy, as well as vascular and neurologic status. These are the major determinants of salvageability.
 - Don't ignore the rest of the patient. Make sure that injuries more critical than the extremity are identified and addressed. See the "Dang Factor!" below.
 - Make a decision. Now. Decide whether you need to transfer the patient based on your knowledge of your consultants' skill levels and comfort.
 - Once you decide you will transfer, do no further imaging. It's not going to change anything you do, and may not be very helpful to the receiving center.
 - Give IV antibiotics and the life-saving tetanus shot early.
 - Optimize salvageability. Do what you can to keep tissue healthy during the transfer. You must take transfer time into account for this! If you are sending your patient across town, just do it quickly. However, if he or she must travel long distance, there are a few more things to consider:
 - Try removing the tourniquet (if any). You'd be surprised at how many times the bleeding has stopped already. Or maybe wasn't needed in the first place.
 - Selectively try to control bleeding if possible. Carefully ligate small vessels if you can. Don't clamp and tie large masses of tissue.
 - Consider a vascular shunt. If there is an obvious large vessel injury, and if you have a trauma or vascular surgeon who is comfortable with inserting a vascular shunt, do it prior to transfer. This will increase the likelihood of salvage in long-distance transfers. But don't waste a lot of time doing this! If you can't get it done within about 30 minutes or so, don't delay the transfer.
 - Quickly rinse off the area. Try to minimize the time that noxious stuff (dirt, gasoline, etc) is in contact with the tissues.
 - Splint well. You'll need to be creative. But you don't want additional tissue injury due to the extremity just flopping around.
 - Inquire about followup. Find out how the patient did, and discuss anything you could have done differently with the receiving center. As always, performance improvement is important!

When training for a specific movement in calisthenics, such as planche or front lever, should I be training for both movements at the same time or should I focus on one single movement?
They're both different movements that use a conjunction or muscles for each. Your body will learn to adapt to both just as quick as if you were to do one at a time. Its all about strength, control and balance. All can be improved by doing both exercises.

Armenian Dram Sign
After proclamation of independence Armenia put into circulation own national currency – Armenian Dram (Armenian: Դրամ; code: AMD), the usage of which revealed the necessity for a monetary sign. As the result of common business practice and the unique pattern of Armenian letters the shape of the sign and its variations appeared in the business scratches. Since that time and until the official endorsement of the sign a number of artists and businessmen developed and offered various shapes for it. Now Armenian dram sign (symbol) is present in the Armenian standard for the national characters and symbols and in the Armenian computer fonts.
Heritage of Mashtots
There is a strong belief that the shape of Dram Sign (symbol) is a direct projection of the Armenian alphabet – the brilliant work of Mesrop Mashtots. It is not hard to notice the clean-cut geometry of Armenian letters, so did the author of the Sign when studied the alphabet. Later he became a proponent for the hypothesis, which states that the prototype of the Armenian alphabet is a variety of combinations of resembling curves and horizontal elements. Subsequently these horizontal elements played a key role in the Sign development.
Date of creation
Apparently, the sign was emerged on 7 September 1995. This date refers to the specific page in the preserved scratches for cash flow of a start-up company. Since that date the sign together with the dollar sign is constantly present in cash flow records (euro was not in circulation yet), and no evidences for earlier dates are tendered by anybody yet.
The objective of the sign is to symbolize the Armenian national currency and come in handy wherever a graphical symbol for the currency would be in demand, for instance in: financial documents, price-lists and tags, currency exchange displays, computer fonts, correspondence, etc.
At the time of the sign's development were outlined the definite fundamental criteria for it, namely the sign has:
- to denote the Armenian National Currency by graphical means;
- to recall the outlines of Armenian letters;
- to include the elements typical for the foreign monetary symbols;
- to be easily reproduced with a few strokes;
- to be enough plain for its identification and memorizing.
Present to Republic
The exceptional chance to present the sign to Republic of Armenia became real in connection with celebration of the 1700th Anniversary of Christianity Proclamation in Armenia as state religion in 2001. The sign's proposal has been presented to the President of the Republic of Armenia, at that date Mr. R. Kocharyan. Together with this gift a special letter with congratulation on the Anniversary has been sent to the Catholicos of all Armenians Garegin II.
The Council of the Central Bank of Armenia handling the proposal announced the contest, entertained the offer among the other proposals and approved it together with the similar one. CBA Panel Ordinance declared to "accept the designs of Dram Symbol presented by K. Komendaryan and R. Arutchyan". Then the Symbol has been passed to the state organizations for the official processing and standardization.
To the right are the designs for Dram Sign submitted to CBA contest by an artist R. Arutchyan and an architect V. Phenesyan respectively. The proposal by R. Arutchyan cognates with Euro sign shape and the proposal by V. Phenesyan is based on the first letter of Armenian word Փող (money, pronounced as "phokh").
Placement on Dram bill
Since year 2003 the original shape of the Sign is present on the reverse side of 10,000 Armenian Dram bill. The bill's other issuances took place in 2006 and 2008. In 2011 the sign has been placed on the 1000 dram bill.
Placement on Dram coin
Since year 2008 the original shape of the Sign is present on the reverse side of 5,000 Armenian Dram commemorative coin.
The graphics of the symbol is based on the shape of the first letter of Armenian word "դրամ" (money, pronounced as "dram"). The transformation of the letter toward the monetary symbol is done in accordance with the graphics of the range of foreign monetary signs. As a result, the sign combines its Armenian origin with the two strokes present in the majority of other monetary symbols. The meaning of those two strokes is being revealed by the author's in his lectures.
Copyright and national attributes
To ensure protection of authorship the author has sent requests to Armenian National Standards Institute in 1997 and Copyright Bureau of Library of US Congress in 2001. However, the Article 6 of Law on Copyright and Neighboring Rights adopted by the National Assembly of Armenia on 8 December 1999 and revised on 15 June 2006, assert that state emblems and signs are not considered as objects for copyright. Hence, the dram symbol may be referred to national attributes, the mandatory items of which are flag, national seal, anthem and money.
There are the international and republican standards pertinent to money and its symbols:
- ISO 4217, Codes for the Representation of Currencies and Funds – defines the format of three-letter abbreviation for world monetary instruments. To Armenian dram in it was assigned code AMD.
- Arm.Stand. 34._PHONE_, Character Sets and Keyboards – defines Armenian characters encoding and keyboard layouts. The code for the Sign is 91 and shorthand is 'armdram'.
- Unicode 6.1 and ISO/IEC 10646, Joint standardization for coding multilingual text.
In 2007 Armenian National Institute for Standardization, Measurements and Metrology made an amendment to the Сharacter Sets and Keyboards table and enacted to replace the collocation "Dram sign" by the graphics of the symbol.
On 15 June 2011, the Unicode Technical Committee (UTC) accepted the dram sign for inclusion in the future versions of the Unicode Standard and assigned a code for the sign - U+058F (֏). In 2012 the sign was finally adopted in the Armenian block of ISO and Unicode international standards.
Variations of design
Upon creation of Sign's original shape a number of designs for it were developed to conform to the most popular font styles and their derivatives (italic, bold). In 2001 the designs together with the original shape were gifted to the Republic as templates for the national font sets. Below are presented three main templates, however, now there is a variety of the sigh shapes in the Armenian computer fonts.
In 2008 under the auspices of Ministry of Culture of Armenia and Microsoft-Armenia in National Book Chamber of Armenia took place "Granshan 2008" competition for the complete set of Armenian letters and characters, for which were developed styles for the Sign among the other characters and symbols.
The Sign's official presentations have been conducted by the author at the Central Bank of Armenia and at the First historical Congress of Armenian Technologies ArmTech 2007 in San-Francisco, north to Silicon Valley. Also, in order to promulgate it the author arranged lectures at American Corners of Yerevan and Gyumri, and Armenian State University of Economics in Yerevan and Yeghegnadzor, CRRC office, Dilijan college and Armenian National Lyceem after Anania Shirakatsy. Besides, he created this and other similar articles and conducted a presentation at the Public Library after A.Isahakyan, Yerevan.
In connection with celebration of the 15th Anniversary of Armenian Dram in November 2008 the Central Bank of Armenia issued a commemorative coin with the Sign on the reverse side just against Noah's Arch on the National Coat of Arms on obverse. The same year the Sign was widely populated in a number of local periodicals
In 2011 Dram sign appeared on the renewed official site of CBA and in the design of its new Visitors Center.

Asymmetric Bio‐epoxidation of Unactivated Alkenes
Von Wiley-VCH zur Verfügung gestellt
The asymmetric epoxidation reactions of a variety of unactivated alkenes, including aliphatic chain olefins, cyclic olefins, and aromatic olefins, have been widely studied. This review lists three main types of engineered enzymes for the epoxidation reaction of unactivated alkenes, and discusses their substrate preference, regioselectivity and stereoselectivity.
Abstract
Optically active epoxides play important roles in pharmaceutical, agricultural and fine chemical syntheses. There are many chiral medications with pharmacodynamic activity in nature that can be synthesized by chiral epoxides. In recent years, researchers have developed a variety of biocatalysts for the asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes, which use oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as eco-friendly and low-cost oxidants, to provide better chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity under moderate reaction conditions. In this paper, the advances, opportunities and challenges of the asymmetric epoxidation of unactive alkenes by biocatalyst are reviewed.

The Proper Role of Administrative Controls in the Implementation of Controls for Criticality Safety
The Double Contingency Analysis (DCA) is a common tool used in the evaluation and establishment of requirements for the control of criticality in operations involving fissile materials. In one case involving a chemical processing facility the administrative controls resulting from the analysis did not contribute to safety.
The analysis (DCA) and resulting engineering documentation indicated that the equipment and processes at this facility were designing with engineered controls such that the assurance of criticality safety would be simple and straightforward. These engineered controls included the use of favorable geometry tanks, well engineered gloveboxes, robust physical constraints on addition of reflection and moderation, low fire loadings, primary reliance on Halon fire suppression, siphon breaks, and the physical design of eductors. These engineered features created a scrap recovery process that needed only limited reliance on administrative controls on mass. The criticality safety system implemented however, places tremendous burden on administrative mass controls.
The failure to identify the complete sequence of events required for a potential criticality and all of the controls, including passive engineered controls, active engineered controls, and administrative controls, limits the usefulness of the DCA to the operations of this facility. The failure of the DCA to identify (and take credit for) all of the controls present can be expected to result in needless occurrence reports when the operation is quite safe. Lesson learned: Although administrative controls play an important role in the safety of DOE operations, the over-use of these controls and/or under-utilization of engineered controls may actually have a negative impact on facility safety.
For further information or comments on the ORR web site, please contact James M. Heffner.


Unlike most of the other temperature sensors we have, this breakout has a really cool IR sensor from TI that can measure the temperature of an object without touching it.
The TMP007 is the latest thermopile sensor from TI, and is an update of the TMP006. The internal math engine does all the temperature calculations so its easier to integrate - you can read the die and target temperatures directly over I2C. The TMP007 also has better transient management, so you don't get as much over/undershoot when the temperature changes a lot.
Simply point the sensor towards what you want to measure and it will detect the temperature by absorbing IR waves emitted. The embedded thermopile sensor generates a very very small voltage depending on how much IR there is, and using some math, that micro voltage can be used to calculate the temperature. It also takes the measurement over an area so it can be handy for determining the average temperature of something.
This sensor comes as a ultra-small 0.5mm pitch BGA, too hard to solder by hand. So we stuck it on an easy-to-work-with breakout board. The sensor works with 2.5V to 5V logic so it requires no logic level shifting. There are two address pins and using a funky method of connecting the pins you can have up to 8 TMP007's connected to one i2c bus. We also include a small piece of 0.1" breakaway header so you can easily solder to and use this sensor on a breadboard. Two mounting holes make it easy to attach to an enclosure.

Spring! Time for Waratahs and Woody Pears to step forward.
Both belong to the Proteaceae family -
The Waratah is found from Newcastle to Ulladulla and west to Lithgow - fully covering the Greater Blue Mountains.
The Woody Pear covers a similar area but is also found on the NSW North Coast.
Is it a Waratah or a Woody Pear?
Waratah or Woody Pear? Waratah or Woody Pear? Photo: Alan Page
They're easy to distinguish when they're in bud, flower or fruit - but when regrowing after a bushfire?
Is the plant shown here a Waratah or a Woody Pear?
Both species are 2-3 metre erect shrubs to small trees and regrow from lignotubers after fire.
Their leaves are similar and they're often found near each other.
It's hard to differentiate between them - except for one clear difference.
Woody Pear's leaves are opposite - Waratah's aren't.
This plant is a Woody Pear.
The Waratah (Telopea speciosissima)
Waratah Waratah Photo: Dianne Page
Simply magnificent!
The word "waratah" is Aboriginal for "beautiful", and "Telopea" is Greek for "seen from afar".
Admiring Waratahs in bloom is a highlight of many Blue Mountains bushwalks in spring.
On a walk last year out to Hanging Rock and Baltzer Lookout near Blackheath (Burramoko Trail), I stopped several times and counted the Waratah flower-heads in a 360 degree sweep.
The first time I stopped I counted almost 20, the next time 50 or so. The biggest tally was over 80.
The Waratah is the Floral emblem of NSW.

The transformation from bud to flower to fruit is truly amazing as the images below show.
The velvety tactile new growth makes you reach out and gently touch its leaves.
The flowers remind you of other members of its family - grevilleas, banksias and hakeas.
The 7cm long pear-shaped fruit completes this unique plant.
Both the Xylomelum and Telopea genus are endemic to Australia.

Judicial notice is an important underpinning of litigation in Canada. The need to prove every trite and accepted fact as evidence would make litigation even more unwieldy than it already is.
