Definition: – Synchronizing Power is defined as the varying of the synchronous power P with respect to vary in the load angle δ. It is also called Stiffness of Coupling, Stability or Rigidity factor. It is represented as Psyn.A synchronous machine, whether a generator or a motor, when synchronized to infinite Busbars has an inherent tendency to remain in Synchronism.
Consider a synchronous generator transferring a steady power Pa at a steady load angle δ0. Suppose that, due to a transient disturbance, the rotor of the generator accelerates, resulting an increase in the load angle by dδ.
The operating point of the machine shifts to a new constant power line and the load on the machine increases to Pa + δP. The steady power input of the machine does not change, and the additional load which is added decreases the speed of the machine and brings it back to synchronism.
Similarly, if due to a transient disturbance, the rotor of the machine retards resulting a decrease in the load angle. The operating point of the machine shifts to a new constant power line and the load on the machine decreases to (Pa – δP). Since the input remains unchanged, the reduction in load accelerates the rotor. The machine again comes in synchronism.
The effectiveness of this correcting action depends on the change in power transfer for a given change in load angle. The measure of effectiveness is given by Synchronizing Power Coefficient.
Power output per phase of the cylindrical rotor generator
The synchronizing torque coefficient
In many synchronous machines Xs>> R. Therefore, for a cylindrical rotor machine, neglecting saturation and stator resistance equation (3) and (5) becomes
For a salient pole machine
Unit of Synchronizing Power Coefficient Psyn
The synchronizing Power Coefficient is expressed in watts per electrical radian.
Since, π radians = 180⁰
1 radian = 180/π degrees
If P is the total number of pair of poles of the machine.
Synchronizing Power Coefficient per mechanical radian is given by the equation shown below.
Synchronizing Power Coefficient per mechanical degree is given as
Synchronizing Torque Coefficient
Synchronizing Torque Coefficient gives rise to the synchronizing torque coefficient at synchronous speed. That is, the Synchronizing Torque is the torque which at synchronous speed gives the synchronizing power. If Ʈsyn is the synchronizing torque coefficient than the equation is given as shown below.
- m is the number of phases of the machine
- ωs = 2 π ns
- ns is the synchronous speed in revolution per second
Significance of Synchronous Power Coefficient
The Synchronous Power Coefficient Psyn is the measure of the stiffness between the rotor and the stator coupling. A large value of Psyn indicates that the coupling is stiff or rigid. Too rigid a coupling means and the machine will be subjected to shock, with the change of load or supply. These shocks may damage the rotor or the windings. We have,
The above two equations (17) and (18) show that Psyn is inversely proportional to the synchronous reactance. A machine with large air gaps have relatively small reactance. The synchronous machine with the larger air gap is stiffer than a machine with a smaller air gap. Since Psyn is directly proportional to Ef, an overexcited machine is stiffer than an under excited machine.
The restoring action is great when δ = 0, that is at no load. When the value of δ = ± 90⁰ the restoring action is zero. At this condition the machine is in unstable equilibrium and at steady state limit of stability. Therefore, it is impossible to run a machine at the steady state limit od stability since its ability to resist small changes is zero unless the machine provided with special fast acting excitation system.

Buying a used car used to be pretty much an act of faith. But federal regulations adopted over the years have made more information available to consumers, and today the Federal Trade Commission announced updates to the information dealers are required to provide on the window stickers of used cars.
The stickers, officially called the Buyers Guide, disclose whether the car is being sold "as is" (without a warranty) or with a warranty.
If the sale is with a warranty, the Guide discloses the terms and conditions, including the duration of coverage, the percentage of total repair costs the dealer will pay, and the vehicle systems the warranty covers. In states that do not permit "as is" used car sales, dealers must use an alternative guide that discloses whether the sale is with a warranty or with implied warranties only.
The changes announced today have been in the works since December 2012. They include:
- changing the description of an "As Is" sale;
- placing boxes on the face of the Buyers Guide that dealers can check to indicate whether a vehicle is covered by a third-party warranty and whether a service contract may be available;
- providing a box that dealers can check to indicate that an unexpired manufacturer's warranty applies;
- adding air bags and catalytic converters to the Buyers Guide's list of major defects that may occur in used vehicles;
- adding a statement that directs consumers to obtain a vehicle history report and to check for open recalls. The statement also instructs consumers to:
- visit _URL_ for information on how to obtain a vehicle history report; and
- visit safercar.gov to check for open safety recalls;
- adding a statement, in Spanish, to the English-language Buyers Guide,
- advising Spanish-speaking consumers to ask for the Buyers Guide in Spanish if the dealer is conducting the sale in Spanish; and
- providing a Spanish translation of the statement that dealers may use to obtain a consumer's acknowledgement of receipt of the Buyers Guide.
Dealers are allowed to use up their remaining stickers over the next year.


How Noisy is Your College Campus?
Ranking College Campus Noise
Just how loud is your college campus? No, we are not talking about your neighbors. We are asking the question in a broader sense to determine how loud a college campus gets given its geographic location. Whether you are thinking about attending a state university or private college, understanding the noise levels in your community will help you better navigate life in and around campus.
The Data Behind the Noise
The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) recently published an interactive map answering the very question at hand. The map uses a 24-hour equivalent sound level noise metric that includes all overt and ambient noise at a defined noise receptor. The noise levels shown on the map denote an approximate average noise energy produced from road transportation and aviation along with other noise-producing modalities. The interactive map data is culled from a number of different government agencies from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) to the FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) to triangulate noise for a given locale.
Which city was ranked highest for noise?
If you guessed the city with the highest noise rating was Los Angeles, you would be correct. The map below gives users a quick overview of the greater Los Angeles area where the deep red hue indicates the highest levels of noise. According to NPR, Los Angeles was ranked first in the nation for traffic congestion resulting in an additional 170 hours spent sitting in traffic.
How Noisy is Your College Campus?
Noise energy created in and around Los Angeles California.
One of the next highest areas of noise is around New York. The map below illustrates the noise levels for various parts of the city given the aggregated information from various government agencies.
Noise energy created in and around New York.
Noise index for the greater New York area.
How much noise does your college campus generate?
To find out, simply utilize the USDOT's interactive map to help figure out the noise energy being produced in and around your campus. A noise index can be used by current and prospective college students to assess variables involved in their college experience. Much like the utilization of a WalkScore, the USDOT's interactive noise map is another tool available at your disposal.

& the Safe Harbor Provision Guidelines
The HIPAA safe harbor method is a method of de-identification of protected health information. De-identification is the removal of specific information about a client that can be used alone or in combination with other information to identify that client.
What is HIPAA Safe Harbor De-Identification?
Home for Life Design follows the Safe Harbor Provision Guidelines
HIPAA safe harbor de-identification is the process of the removal of specified identifiers of the patient, and of the patient's relatives, household members, and employers.
The requirements of the HIPAA safe harbor de-identification process become fully satisfied if, and only if, after the removal of the specific identifiers, the covered entity has no actual knowledge that the remaining information could be used to identify the patient.
Once protected health information has been de-identified, it is no longer considered to be PHI; as such, there are no longer restrictions on its use or disclosure. By definition, de-identified health information neither identifies nor provides a reasonable basis to identify a patient.


Elizabeth Colorado Community Information
The town of Elizabeth Colorado began in 1855 as a saw mill camp operated by the Weber Brothers along the bank of Running Creek. A few years later, in 1858, gold was discovered in the creek. There was a gold rush, but the quality and quantity of the gold never lead to a boom. However, settlers did steadily move in, to work the land. After the original camp site was flooded, the town was moved to its present location.
Today, Elizabeth Colorado means small town, horse properties, pine trees and wide open prairies. Properties can range in price from the low $200,000 up to multi-million dollar agricultural properties. Real estate values tend to stay fairly level although proximity to Denver tends to increase value.

Are there any estimates for the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator for $\Gamma \backslash SL(2, \mathbb{C})/SU(2)$ known beyond the main term? Here, $\Gamma$ should be congruence subgroup in $SL(2,o)$ for $o$ the ring of integers in an imaginary quadratic field.
I have checked Mathscinet and couldn't find anything except for the main term.

For general compact manifolds (of dimension $n$), the error term (on the number of eigenvalues less than $T^2$, counted with multiplicity) is $O(T^{n-1})$. So for $\Gamma$ co-compact, the error term is $O(T^2)$.
For merely co-finite $\Gamma$, it should be possible to bound the error term, but I am unaware of any results. In Section 4 of this survey by Müller (by the way, equation 1.3 is Weyl's Law for compact manifolds with the error term, and Section 2 sketches a different approach for compact locally symmetric spaces), he sketches a proof of a strong form of the law (using the Selberg Zeta function) and implies that the argument would work for other rank-one groups.
The book Groups Acting on Hyperbolic Space seems to (using Google Preview) prove the strong form of the law in the co-compact case (Section 5.5), but only seems to prove the weak form in the co-finite case (Section 8.9).

... and $T^{n-1}$ is essentially optimal right, perhaps rather $T^{n-1}/log T$? I was aware of all this, but thanks already. – Marc Palm Jul 25 '12 at 16:00
Yeah, $O(T^{n-1})$ is optimal for compact spaces because of spheres, but I think conjecturally tighter bounds exist for certain hyperbolic spaces (and you are correct that for $SL_2(\mathbb Z)\backslash \mathfrak h$, Selberg obtained $O(T/{\rm log}\ T)$, so something better is certainly possible). I think it might be something like GRH (though more tractable), where getting nonvanishing of an $L$-function at the edge of the strip is hard, and making any improvement on that virtually impossible, even though we expect much more. – B R Jul 25 '12 at 17:14

How to estimate earthwork construction period.
How to estimate the duration required to complete Earthwork Excavation? Estimation on the numbers of days required to complete the task by utilisation of machinery does not required complex calculation. All it take is simple mathematics and some knowledge on the efficiency of machine capability. Below is an example of the calculation.
1. Quantity of the Earthwork Excavation = 1000 cu.m.
2. The machinery needed = Excavator and Lorries
 Assumption : 1 no. of Excavator and 1 no. of lorry required.
 : Excavator need 3 minutes to make a cycle of excavation works.
 : Excavator Capacity = 1.5 cu.m
 : Lorries capacity = 10 ton
 : Lorry need 5 minutes to make a cycle of transportation.
 : Specific Gravity of the earth = 2.7
Base on the assumption, the calculation is as follows;
 a) Duration required to fill a 10 ton lorry
 : 10 ton lorry bucket capacity = 10/2.7 = 3.7 cu.m
 : cycle require to fill the lorry bucket = 3.7/1.5 = 2.4666 Cycle or 3 cycle.
 : hence, time required for filling the lorry = 3 cycle X 3 minutes = 9 minutes
 b) Duration required for lorry to complete a cycle of transporting and unloading =5 minutes
 : Therefore total time taken for one cycle of earthwork = 9 minutes + 5 minutes = 14 minutes.
 : 14 minutes is required to complete 3.7 cu.m of earthwork.
 c) Duration required to complete 1000 cu.m earthwork;
 : 1000 cu.m / 3.7 cu.m = 270.27 cycle = 271 cycle.
 : hence, time require to complete 1000 cu.m earthwork = 271 cycle X 14 Minutes = 3794 minutes
 d) Number of working hours per day = 8 hours
 e) Convert the Duration in minutes into days;
 : 3794/ (8 X 60) = 7 days.
Therefore total number of days to complete the 1000 cu.m of earthwork (cutting and cart away for a short distance) by utilised 1 number of excavator and 1 number of 10 ton lorry is 7 days. Hence your construction period is only 7 days. However this example is excluding number of unworkable day due to rain.
If the number of lorry is going to be increase to 2 then some correction can be make to the duration required to complete the whole cycle by by 5 minutes. this is because the waiting time for the excavator can be reduce by 2.5 minutes each for both lorry. Therefore the complete cycle can be consider as 9 minutes only.
With this free example hope that you will have nice time to plan for your earthwork construction.
 1. Aero Bina, thanks for the explanation. Can you also show work estimate for formwork & concreting as well. Thanks
 2. Anonymous, Thanks for the comments? How do you rate the information publish on this blog? As per Formwork & Concreting, I will include it in my post As soon as possible.

👏 You can access ncp package with using ncp variable in browser devtools!
Asynchronous recursive file copy utility.
code/package/bundle size
bundle minified
bundle gzipped
ncp - Asynchronous recursive file & directory copying
Build Status
Think cp -r, but pure node, and asynchronous. ncp can be used both as a CLI tool and programmatically.
Command Line usage
Usage is simple: ncp [source] [dest] [--limit=concurrency limit] [--filter=filter] --stopOnErr
The 'filter' is a Regular Expression - matched files will be copied.
The 'concurrency limit' is an integer that represents how many pending file system requests ncp has at a time.
'stoponerr' is a boolean flag that will tell ncp to stop immediately if any errors arise, rather than attempting to continue while logging errors. The default behavior is to complete as many copies as possible, logging errors along the way.
If there are no errors, ncp will output done. when complete. If there are errors, the error messages will be logged to stdout and to./ncp-debug.log, and the copy operation will attempt to continue.
Programmatic usage
Programmatic usage of ncp is just as simple. The only argument to the completion callback is a possible error.
var ncp = require('ncp').ncp;
ncp.limit = 16;
ncp(source, destination, function (err) {
 if (err) {
 return console.error(err);
You can also call ncp like ncp(source, destination, options, callback). options should be a dictionary. Currently, such options are available:
 - options.filter - a RegExp instance, against which each file name is
tested to determine whether to copy it or not, or a function taking single parameter: copied file name, returning true or false, determining whether to copy file or not.
 - options.transform - a function: function (read, write) { read.pipe(write) }
used to apply streaming transforms while copying.
 - options.clobber - boolean=true. if set to false, ncp will not overwrite
destination files that already exist.
 - options.dereference - boolean=false. If set to true, ncp will follow symbolic
links. For example, a symlink in the source tree pointing to a regular file will become a regular file in the destination tree. Broken symlinks will result in errors.
 - options.stopOnErr - boolean=false. If set to true, ncp will behave like cp -r,
and stop on the first error it encounters. By default, ncp continues copying, logging all errors and returning an array.
 - options.errs - stream. If options.stopOnErr is false, a stream can be provided, and errors will be written to this stream.
Please open an issue if any bugs arise. As always, I accept (working) pull requests, and refunds are available at /dev/null.

automatically detects the proper polarity and issues a message if negative polarity data is received:
Reversed FS polarity detected - autocorrecting
The automatic correction applies only to software framing and doesn't help with correlation. For correct results for both software framing and
correlation, you should correct the polarity reversal problem at its source; this is done using negative values for the {{{--gain}}} parameter at
program start time:
./ -a -v 10 -g -50
The second cause of negative correlation peaks is that some protocols (although not P25) make use of both normaland inverted-polarity FS
sequences as a standard part of their processing. Instead of clogging the GUI menu with several choices that are merely inverses of others,
just for the sake of always having positive-peaked correlations, we allow the correlation graph to reflect the natural polarity of the data.
Thus both + and - peaks are shown, allowing quick diagnosis of incorrect hardware polarity (see above), and allowing identification of the
particular family and sub-protocol in use.
Auto Correlation
Also included is Frank's Fast Auto Correlation (fac):
For further details about Fast Auto Correlation refer to Frank's page at
New in late 2013, trunk following for multiple trunked P25 systems was added, supporting the following feature set:
 - Any number of separate trunked systems may be scanned * P25 Phase I (IMBE) voice channel decoding and audio output * Supports LSM/CQPSK systems that require CQPSK (not C4FM) demodulation in addition to C4FM systems * Since CQPSK demodulation is used, LSM simulcast distortion is suppressed (contrary to all current scanners) * In this release, systems and voice channels are scanned sequentially (like trunk tracking scanners) * Alpha tagging for talkgroup ID's * Per-system whitelist (closed group) support: only those talkgroups in the list are scanned * Per-system blacklist support: all talkgroups are scanned, except those listed * Configuration files are TSV (tab-separated); may be edited using spreadsheet software such as Libre office * Talkgroup ID hold: momentary delay after each voice transmission to allow following conversations * Manual talkgroup ID hold: click to pause, remains on current talkgroup until resumed * Manual lockout: click to lock out current talkgroup * All of the signal scope functions (see above) are live and may be selected in real time * Traffic history including list of active voice channels, key trunk control channel data, etc. * Hardware support provided by gr-osmosdr including usrp/uhd, hackrf, and (in theory) RTL DVB-T based sticks etc.
The trunking code has not yet been merged into the master branch. In the meantime after cloning the
repository you can issue this command to switch to the proper code branch:
git checkout max-trunking-update2
(you must first cd to the top level op25 project directory)
Trunking Configuration
The primary configuration file trunk.tsv contains one line (or spreadsheet row) per trunked system
to be monitored. The file need not be named {{{trunk.tsv}}}; any name of your choice may be used, and is specified using the -T option. The file contains the following information:
 - NAC: This is used as the "primary key" to tell different systems apart. * Sysname: The name of the system (for display purposes) * Control Channel List: comma-separated list of trunk control channels. * Offset: if using a SDR with GPSDO, this value is not needed and should be set to zero. Used for frequency drift correction. The values shown are almost certainly incorrect for your system; the frequency error (drift) is different for every oscillator and is also almost always temperature dependent. You can use the other functions of such as the eye diagram to determine the error (difference between nominal frequency and received frequency). * Modulation: C4FM or CQPSK * TGID Tags File: specifies the name of a TSV file for this system, containing alpha talkgroup ID tags * Whitelist: if set, the system is a "closed" system; only listed TGID's will be included * Blacklist: excludes listed TGID's * Center Frequency: set this to (Highest-Frequency-Channel - Lowest-Frequency-Channel) / 2 - and make sure it's at least (say) 50 KHz away from any active channel
Note: the first line of the file containing the field names must not be changed.
Software Tuning Mode
A new feature which helps to workaround a current problem with the RTL-SDR, the software Local Oscillator allows software tuning within the passband whose width is equal to the current sampling rate (--sample-rate) parameter. Currently this seems to be limited to 2.56 MHz.
To use this mode
 - find the lowest (F1) and highest frequencies (F2) in the system * You will have to adjust F1 and F2 such that (F2-F1) is less than the selected sample rate * RTL SDR apparently supports rates higher than 2.56 MHz but there are reported problems * Find the center frequency = F1 plus one-half of (F2-F1) * Adjust the center frequency by a few tens of KHz if necessary to ensure it does not coincide with any of the system channel frequencies, to avoid DC offset * The higher the sample rate, the more CPU is used * If the system contains frequencies outside of the band from F1 to F2, tuning error messages will be issued but the remaining channels should still work * The "Center Frequency" is defined as a new column in the trunking TSV file (added to the right of the Blacklist column after the example shown below was created).
TSV Files
Use the following command to open a TSV file for editing:
oocalc trunk.tsv
Here are the options used when opening the file
Talkgroup ID Alpha Tags
There is usually a separate tags file for each system, although sometimes multiple systems can share a common set of tags. The talkgroup ID (first column in each row) is in decimal (base 10).
Trunked Traffic
Use the -2 command line option to enable Phase 2 TDMA. Unlike in P25 Phase 1 FDMA, TDMA voice channels cannot be tuned manually. TDMA voice channels are always operated under control of a trunked system having a 9,600 FDMA trunking control channel. Accordingly you must establish a trunking definition for your system as detailed above; no other special setup is required.
This records in parallel all talkgroup activity to.WAV files (except talkgroups excluded via the white list and black lists system). The band of frequencies that can be spanned is equal to the SDR sampling rate, e.g., 2.4 MHz or so if using an RTL, wider in other devices (8 MHz in HackRF, for example). Only one SDR is needed though, no matter how many talkgroups are to be logged (as long as these frequency limits are observed). The option is enabled via the "-L n" command line parameter (where n is an int specifying the number of logfile workers - one plus the number of concurrent talkgroups to be logged). Note that in TDMA one worker is required per active frequency (not per talkgroup). The wider the spectrum, and the more workers defined, the higher the CPU usage...
The logging option must be used with the -T option, and (in this version of only the first data row of the trunking TSV file is utilized - subsequent rows are not used.
Possibly bugs exist, here are a few of the known ones as of this writing
 - Symbol filters totally brain damaged (need separate filters for each speed) * When switching modes using the notebook tabs, leftover data from before may appear momentarily * Highest and lowest speeds are not well tuned resulting either in sluggish updates or CPU exhaustion * Currently ignores all except first frequency in list of trunk control frequencies * The selected tab may override the mode (C4FM vs. CQPSK); be sure to select "constellation" to enable CQPSK mode
I ripped off the "tabbed notebook" theme (and code) from Stevie; it already had the spectrum, baseband, and decoded symbol displays. I added the data scope, constellation scope, cross correlation, and trunk tracking features.
The Fast Auto Correlation (fac) code came from Radiorausch.
Special thanks to Mossmann for leaving one commented-out "print" statement in Of course it was tempting to wonder "what would happen" if that statement were un-commented. The final result? The cross-correlation feature.
Special thanks also to GPL, for encouraging these mashups.

BACKGROUND: The Mediterranean diet (MeDi) is known to prevent cardiovascular events but the mechanisms mediating this association are not fully understood.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to examine the association between MeDi adherence and the presence and extent of atherosclerotic plaques in carotid, femoral, and aorta territories and its relationship with risk factors in asymptomatic middle-aged adults.
METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of the Aragon Workers' Health Study, a cohort of 2588 subjects (94.9% men aged 51.3 +/- 3.89 years) without previous cardiovascular history. Participants underwent carotid, femoral, and aorta ultrasound for the quantification of number and thickness of plaques and intima-media thickness. To estimate the participant's adherence to MeDi, we computed the Alternative MEDiterranean index (aMED).
RESULTS: The overall aMED score was 4.19 +/- 1.70, representing a moderate adherence to MeDi. aMED score was associated with the presence of plaque in femoral arteries (odds ratio highest vs lowest aMED score quartile: 0.63; 95% confidence interval: 0.48-0.83; P trend =.045) independently of risk factors and mediators. The strongest association between aMED quartiles and presence of plaque was found among smokers, both in femoral (0.39 [0.22-0.69]; P trend =.001) and in any territory (0.33 [0.14-0.79], P trend =.008). aMED was inversely associated with the number of plaques in all territories except for carotids.
CONCLUSION: MeDi adherence showed a dose-dependent protective association with the presence, number, and thickness of plaques independent of other risk factors. The association was strongest for femoral arteries and among smokers. (C) 2017 National Lipid Association. All rights reserved.

- For a bus to use the shoulder, the overall speed of traffic must be less than 35 mph.
- While using the shoulder, buses are only allowed to go up to 15 mph faster than other traffic, to a maximum speed of 35 mph.
- Priority for shoulder use is always given to emergency vehicles, stalls or breakdowns.
Bus-only shoulder lanes are currently in use on three freeway corridors in the region: State Route 14, Interstate 5 and Interstate 205.
State Route 14

text: The present work introduces an extended particulate filter model focusing on capabilities to cover catalytic and surface storage reactions and to serve as a virtual multi-functional reactor/separator. The model can be classified as a transient, non-isothermal 1D+1D two-channel model. The applied modeling framework offers the required modeling depth to investigate arbitrary catalytic reaction schemes and it follows the computational requirement of running in real-time. The trade-off between model complexity and computational speed is scalable. The model is validated with the help of an analytically solved reference and the model parametrization is demonstrated by simulating experimentally given temperatures of a heat-up measurement. The detailed 1D+1D model is demonstrated in a concept study comparing the impact of different spatial washcoat distributions. The generic model is further used to describe a diesel particulate filter coated with functionalities for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions (SDPF). This dedicated model, as a part of a full diesel exhaust line, is combined with a passenger car vehicle and thermodynamic engine model. The whole system model is assessed in office PC simulation regarding result plausibility and computational performance during the New European Drive Cycle and a randomly assembled drive cycle. The real-time capability of the full model is demonstrated by running it on the NI VeriStand real-time simulation environment. The presented type of system model contributes to answer upcoming questions in the context of real driving emissions (RDE) by means of simulation.

LaVision's SprayMaster inspex systems measure spray pattern and spray plume geometries of spray and aerosol generating devices. The light sheet based imaging systems use eye-safe LED lamps for illumination or lasers in case of very fast pulsed sprays.
High performance multi-cone fuel sprays up to single cone household sprays are tested in-line or on-line with automated spray parameter recording and test protocol generation. Axial spray profiles are recorded applying shadow imaging when a line-of-sight arrangement is better suited for a given spray test arrangement. The highly reliable imaging modules are field changeable following the highest industrial standards. The modular system design allows flexible solutions for even demanding customization requirements.
A comprehensive spray image analysis software tool kit generates in real-time process relevant data from the spray image, builds up a statistical data base, executes a quality criteria for spray acceptance including a feedback signal to the production/process line together with a customized test protocol for data traceability. Algorithmic based spray image processing guarantees fast, repeatable and operator independent results.
Global spray imaging on a light sheet can be combined with local droplet size and velocity measurements at a predefined location within the light sheet. Such a combined spray pattern and spray droplet imaging system for a comprehensive spray nozzle test is shown as an example of a highly integrated spray imaging solution.

I can tell you the answer for the second question: How to show UTM-coordinates in the lower right corner.
In leaflet the internal coordinate system is always longitude/latitude as far as I know, and you have to transform every time you need to work with your data.
First make sure you have installed proj4.js and proj4leaflet.js. To show your coordinates you can use the plugin:.
Then define your coordinate system and use when you define your map object:
var crs = new L.Proj.CRS.TMS('EPSG:25832',
 '+proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs',
 [120000, _PHONE_, _PHONE_, _PHONE_],
 {resolutions: [1638.4, 819.2, 0.1]
var map = new L.Map('map', {
 crs: crs,
 continuousWorld: true,
 worldCopyJump: false
The function _onMouseMove() should be modified to something like this:
_onMouseMove: function (e) {
 var my_crs =; // get the coordinate system
 var my_proj = my_crs.projection; // get the projection, which makes the transform
 var my_point = my_proj.project(e.latlng); // Here we transform back to UTM
 var lng = my_point.x;
 var lat = my_point.y;
 var value = this.options.lngFirst? lng + this.options.separator + lat : lat + this.options.separator + lng;
 var prefixAndValue = this.options.prefix +'' + value;
 this._container.innerHTML = prefixAndValue;
You will then get your mouse position in UTM. For more information see the documentation for proj4leaflet and leaflet.mouseposition.

The following example demonstrates how to do this:
DateTime a = new DateTime(2010, 05, 12, 13, 15, 00);
DateTime b = new DateTime(2010, 05, 12, 13, 45, 00);
When executed this prints "30" since there is a 30 minute difference between the date/times.
The result of DateTime.Subtract(DateTime x) is a Timespan object which gives other useful properties.

You want TotalMinutes, not Minutes - the latter returns the minute component of the TimeSpan, e.g. 10 in 1:10:32 – Ben M May 12 '10 at 17:13
this is what i want – MarsMan May 12 '10 at 17:19
To display the difference, do something like this:Console.WriteLine((a - b).ToString(@"hh\:mm\:ss")). See: MSDN Custom TimeSpan Format – ishmael Nov 5 '12 at 20:07

You want the TimeSpan struct:
TimeSpan diff = dateTime1 - dateTime2;
There are various methods for getting the days, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds back from this structure.

What you need is to use the DateTime classs Subtract method, which returns a TimeSpan.
var dateOne = DateTime.Now;
var dateTwo = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(-5);
var diff = dateTwo.Subtract(dateOne);
var res = String.Format("{0}:{1}:{2}", diff.Hours,diff.Minutes,diff.Seconds));

The way I usually do it is subtracting the two DateTime and this gets me a TimeSpan that will tell me the diff.
Here's an example:
DateTime start = DateTime.Now;
// Do some work
TimeSpan timeDiff = DateTime.Now - start;

You need to use a TimeSpan. Here is some sample code:
TimeSpan sincelast = TimeSpan.FromTicks(DateTime.Now.Ticks - LastUpdate.Ticks);

Or just TimeSpan sincelast = DateTime.Now - LastUpdate; – Ben M May 12 '10 at 17:17
Thanks for the tip. I had no idea you could do it that way. – Jason Webb May 12 '10 at 18:06

IF they are both UTC date-time values you can do TimeSpan diff = dateTime1 - dateTime2;
Otherwise your chance of getting the correct answer in every single possible case is zero.

text: Closed-loop decoder adaptation (CLDA) is an emerging paradigm for achieving rapid performance improvements in online brain-machine interface (BMI) operation. Designing an effective CLDA algorithm requires making multiple important decisions, including choosing the timescale of adaptation, selecting which decoder parameters to adapt, crafting the corresponding update rules, and designing CLDA parameters. These design choices, combined with the specific settings of CLDA parameters, will directly affect the algorithm's ability to make decoder parameters converge to values that optimize performance. In this article, we present a general framework for the design and analysis of CLDA algorithms and support our results with experimental data of two monkeys performing a BMI task. First, we analyze and compare existing CLDA algorithms to highlight the importance of four critical design elements: the adaptation timescale, selective parameter adaptation, smooth decoder updates, and intuitive CLDA parameters. Second, we introduce mathematical convergence analysis using measures such as mean-squared error and KL divergence as a useful paradigm for evaluating the convergence properties of a prototype CLDA algorithm before experimental testing. By applying these measures to an existing CLDA algorithm, we demonstrate that our convergence analysis is an effective analytical tool that can ultimately inform and improve the design of CLDA algorithms.

How MongoDB balance your data?
migration_steps3We have already studied the chunk concept What is a MongoDB chunk? and also how MongoDB splits it when grows beyond the maximum size established by default Four steps to split a MongoDB chunk. At this post we are going to study the steps that MongoDB follows to balance our cluster.
The first thing we must know is that we choose the data to balance in our shards. So, we decide the collections to divide. You can read at this post Two steps to shard a MongoDB collection how to split a collection.
The balancing process does not disturb the normal cluster work, it is a background process. There is only one migration at a time, per cluster, in order to do not overload it. Therefore, only two shards will be working on (its primaries). If we do not change the by default chunk size, 64MB, this is the maximum amount of data that MongoDB will migrate at a time. This is a size so big so that there will not be too much migrations, and at the same time, it is little in order to do not overload our database.
Balancing round
Any of the mongos can begin a round balancing, but only can be an active one at a time. So, the mongos must check this through the locks collection at the configdb.
Only when the value equals 0 the mongos can begin the balancing round.
Is the cluster balanced?
The mongos checks the number of chunks per shard and decides whether the collection/collections is balanced. At this post What is a MongoDB chunk? I explain how MongoDB determines this. When the collection is not balanced the balancer will move the necessary chunks to get it. When the migration has been finished the mongos will update the locks collection and the round balancer will be finished.
Does the chunk need to be split?
Ok, the collection is not well balanced. The mongos will choose a chunk to move it to another shard. How MongoDB chooses this chunk is studied at this post What is a MongoDB chunk?
Before moving the chunk the mongos asks the shard which owns it (shard FROM) if this is too big and must be split.
The balancing begins
The mongos orders to the shard FROM that begins the transfer, but before beginning this shard makes sure that it is not removing data from a chunk previously migrated.
Please, read this chunk
The shard FROM asks shard TO (shard chunk destination) to read the chosen chunk to been migrated.
The transfer begins
The chunk belongs to shard FROM until the transfer will be finished. Until then, there can be write operations on this chunk that must also be transferred to shard TO.
The transfer ends
The FROM TO (Alex, thanks for your input) shard updates the chunk migration at the config servers.
The transferred data is deleted
The shard FROM begins to delete the data that has been moved.
The cache is refreshed
The mongos refreshes its cache. The remaining mongos will look for this data at the shard FROM and will get an STALE CONFIG EXCEPTION. This will cause them to read the metadata at the config servers for refreshing its cache. The clients will not realize it.
I wish that this post helps you to understand how MongoDB chooses the chunks to move between shards and the steps it follows for balancing the cluster. Please, if you read something wrong or something is omitted do not hesitate to use the comments. We will learn each other.

What is weight bearing?
Putting weight on your affected (weaker) leg is called "weight bearing." Your physical therapist will check one of the categories below. Read what is beneath the category. This is your "weight-bearing status." It tells if you may or may not put any body weight on your affected leg. It also tells you how much weight you may place on the affected leg.
Non-weight bearing (NWB)
Place no weight on your affected leg. Do not touch the floor with your affected leg. While you stand or walk, you must hold your affected leg off the floor (see Figure 1 at right).
Touch-down weight bearing (TDWB), or toe-touch weight bearing (TTWB)
When you stand or walk, you may touch the floor only for balance. Do not place actual weight on your affected leg (see Figure 2 at left).
Partial weight bearing (PWB)
When you stand or walk, you may place ____ percent of your body weight ( _____ pounds) on your affected leg (see Figure 2 at left).
Weight bearing as tolerated (WBAT), or weight bearing to tolerance (WBTT)
When you stand or walk, place only as much weight as feels comfortable on your affected leg. Let pain be your guide. If you feel pain, place less weight on the affected leg (see Figure 2 at left).
Full weight bearing (FWB)
You may place your full body weight on your affected leg when you stand or walk.
Note: Your therapist may give you other instructions about weight bearing.


Indian sub-continent voters to play a decisive role in general election
Over 25 constituencies have 40 per cent voters from ethnic minorities
14th April 2010: Indian sub-continent voters will play a more decisive role in the 2010 general election than ever before.
A new research suggests nothing less than 25 parliamentary constituencies have more than 40 per cent of their voting population from ethnic minorities. In fact, the voters are from the Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities.
The parliamentary constituencies where over 40 per cent of the population was categorised as being from an ethnic minority in the 2001 census include East Harrow 66.3 per cent, Birmingham Ladywood 64.9 per cent, Birmingham Sparkbrook and Small Heath 64.8 per cent, and Brent South 64.6 per cent.
The research, by Prof. Muhammad Anwar of the University of Warwick, even suggests they are more likely to turn out to vote than their white neighbours.
Prof. Anwar has asserted that ethnic minorities voter registration is approaching levels of white voters; and their turnout is now higher than the national average.
In the previous general election held in 2005, the national average turnout was 61.4 per cent, but for Bangladeshi voters it was 76 per cent, Pakistanis 70 per cent and Indians 67 per cent.
The higher levels of turn-out among Asians and particularly Muslim groups are likely to continue in future.
The findings come just about for weeks before the general elections.
The research says the minorities are still 'massively undervalued and under-represented', even though the ethnic minority vote will be more important than ever before.
Prof. Anwar says in recent years Muslims in Britain and elsewhere have become a focus of attention for politicians and the media. As such, Muslims themselves have become more conscious of their rights and responsibilities as British citizens, including participation in the electoral process.

The Invention Of A Handheld Electric Mixer
1889 Words8 Pages
In the beginning of time mixers were not electrical like they are now a days really easy for people to use. The egg beaters were hand cranked, Hand cranks don't require electricity, there is a handle you hold it with and a little knob that you twist so it could mix the ingredients together. In 1856, a Maryland Tinner named Ralph Collier was the man who invented hand cranked egg beaters. The hand cranked egg beaters were used by hand nothing electrical in them, but a more years went by people started inventing so much more mixers and they were electrical of different kind. A handheld electric mixer is basically an electrical mixer that has a handle and someone holds it while the mixer is mixing the eggs and other things. Mixers are of course something used in the kitchen and only the kitchen. People or chiefs use it for baking because it makes the dough in a better smoother texture than if it was hand mixed. A classical American mixer brand is Dover stamping company, the company bought the patent egg beaters in 1859. An American man named Rufus Eastman invented the first mixer which was in 1885. The first man to invent electric mixer was named Herbert Johnson that was in 1908. His whole idea started from basically watching television, there was a baker who was making dough with a spoon that is how his idea was formed. There were electrical mixers before but they were hand mixers that used electricity. The electric mixes he made were mostly for bakers with experience and

text: Traditionally, object retrieval methods require a set of images of a specific object for training. In this paper, we propose a new object retrieval method using a single query image, without training, for a global object. The query image could be a typical real image of the object. The object is constructed based on Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) points acquired from the image. Information of relative positions, scale and orientation between SURF points are calculated and constructed into an object model. The ability to match partially affine transformed object images results from the robustness of SURF points and the flexibility of the model. Occlusion is handled by specifying the probability of a missing SURF point in the model. Experimental results show that this matching technique is robust under partial occlusion and rotation. The obtained results illustrate that the proposed method improves efficiency, speeds up recovery and reduces the storage space.


Is Gelatin Halal? What about Bovine sources?
"Is gelatin Halal? What if it is from a bovine source but not slaughtered according to shari'ah"
Gelatin, as far as my research has shown,
does not go through a chemical or molecular change in which it is modified into another substance.
Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolysed form of collagen, without any chemical or molecular transformation. Basically the collagen of the animal is washed (with peptides and other substances added), and through this process the collagen is broken down and processed into another form, whether that be liquid or solid. There is no transformation that renders it into a totally different and separate substance.
Looking at Gelatin Sources
Based on this, you have to look at the source:
 1. Naturally, fish and vegetable sources are completely acceptable.
 2. Bovine sources (as well as any other animal with is Halal to eat) are acceptable
 - if that animal was slaughtered in a manner acceptable to the Shariah.
 - If the gelatin is from an animal slaughtered or killed incorrectly, then it is not permissible.
 3. If it is from Porcine sources, it is categorically forbidden.
and Allah knows best
updated 09/30/2012
To add a little more context, I thought I'd add this from the above linked Wikipedia article:
While there are many processes whereby collagen can be converted to gelatin, they all have several factors in common. The intermolecular and intramolecular bonds which stabilize insoluble collagen rendering it insoluble must be broken, and the hydrogen bonds which stabilize the collagen helix must also be broken The manufacturing process consists of three main stages:

How to Help a Ghost Pass Over
How to Help a Ghost Pass Over
May 27, 2021 Ghost Hunting Our Blog 0
In general, ghosts will move on when their purpose is fulfilled. But sometimes a ghost needs specific help to move on and this can be provided by a witch.
There are different ways you can help a ghost pass over: gathering personal objects, performing an Ascension ceremony, or calling in the assistance of an experienced witch.
A witch will perform a ritual to call in the spirit of the ghost. The purpose of the ritual is to draw the spirit back into its body by using personal objects, and then to find out what it wants and needs from you. For example, if the ghost's greatest need is forgiveness, the witch will organize a church service and perform a ceremony while asking God for forgiveness on behalf of the ghost so that it may move on. If no church is available at that time, then a prayer in your home can also be performed in order to ask for forgiveness.
If the ghost needs to pass on more quickly, then a ceremony can be performed to help the ghost ascend. In this ceremony, you will be guided in creating an energy vortex in your home that can help the ghost move on.
The following is one of many ways to perform a ritual to call in the spirit of the ghost. You may also find additional rituals online or create your own based on your need:
1) Find out when the ghost was born and what his/her birth number is (day, month, year). You may search for his or her information through an online genealogy site. For example, and genealogy records are some of the most useful resources to find your family history.
2) Find out about the type of person or animal that this ghost was. For example, if the ghost is a bird, then you will need to find out what type of bird it was so that you can use that knowledge in your ritual.
3) Collect everything from the person's life and store them in a satchel for use during the ceremony. You should have at least one item from each phase of his/her life such as: his/her childhood picture books or toys; toys from ages 1 to 7; high school yearbooks; college yearbooks; graduation gifts etc.. You can also use photos of the person. A satchel is a small cloth bag that will help you to carry all of the objects and pictures.
4) Make a list of images, objects, or any other personal information that the ghost may need to pass over. It could be something as simple as leftover perfumes or toiletries that had been used during life time by the ghost. It could also be a specific object such as a ring, watch, or necklace that was very important to the person during life time.
5) Connect with the ghost on an emotional level and give it your understanding about its purpose in your life.
6) Tell the ghost that you will help it pass over. You may want to include in your ritual a letter of forgiveness from the family for any wrongdoing that took place during life time. Your desire to help also needs to be conveyed to the ghost. Use a pen and paper so that you can personally write down your wishes. Leave the paper where you think the ghost can see it.
7) Decide when and where you will do your ritual. In order for it to be successful, you will need a secluded area with no interruptions or distractions so that no one can hear what is being said during the ceremony or how long it may take.
When you start your ritual, you will need to first find a quiet spot and then you can go about looking for the ghost. Use an object that belonged to the ghost such as a perfume or watch and ask it to come around.
1) Set up an altar with photos of the person or animal that is being called back, any objects that he/she had during life time such as his/her childhood toys, a picture of him/her when he/she was young etc.. If you don't have a picture of the person, use pictures of his favorite movie star or a character from his favorite book.
2) Next, light your candles and incense. The incense is used to help center you and the candles are used to represent the energy that will be focused in your home during the ceremony.
3) Place on the altar other objects such as a rose or a flower that represents love. Give these gifts to the ghost of its lover or family member who have passed on in order to help convince it that you will accept him/her back into your life.
4) Any personal items collected from his/her life can also be placed on the altar such as his favorite stuffed animal or something else that he loved so much during his life time. 5) You can also include a picture of his/her family and friends so that he/she knows that they are still around him. These pictures will help to convince the ghost that he is not alone and that his loved ones miss him.
5) By placing all these items on the altar, you are opening up your heart to the ghost and connecting with it in a way that you want to help it move on to its next journey.
6) In order for this ritual to be successful, you need to stay vigilant during your ceremony. You may want to start off with a short period of meditation where you clear your mind of any other concerns or distractions in order for you focus on the ritual. You can also use written meditation that help to guide the energy to focus solely on the ceremony. After, you can break off for a short period of time to gather your thoughts and then continue with the ritual as shown in the following pictures.
7) Using your sacred objects such as photos, objects and papers, get down on your knees so that you are in a position where you are facing the altar and not anyone else present. Start out by taking a couple of deep breaths in an effort to center yourself.
8) Now that you are in a position to do your ritual, you will want to verbally call out the ghost and ask it to come back into your life.
9) Start off by stating what you want from the ghost.
10) Most importantly, tell him/her that when he/she is finished visiting with you, he must return back to where he came from.
11) Now that you have given the ghost an order, there is no reason to stop, so keep at it until the ritual is complete.

Applet Message
An applet message is a free-flowing text control which presents a mix of hard-coded, static text strings and dynamic data from the Siebel database, filled in at run time. An applet message is presented as a continuous, wrapped line of text. Applet messages are similar to the personalization text which appears on home pages. You can use applet messages to provide instructions to the end user performing the task. For example, in the Siebel Call Center application, an applet message may represent a block of text to be read by a customer service representative (the end user), when addressing a customer.
You specify the static text at design time. The dynamic data is derived from business component fields and, at run time, it becomes part of the applet message the end user sees while moving through the task.
NOTE: The format of the text in the applet message is not editable.
An applet message, as a user interface control, is statically positioned within the task applet. It differs from other control types (such as Text or Field) by always displaying its content as read-only, and not inside a box or border in the user interface.
Figure 3 shows an example of an applet message. In this example, the values for status, account, and the name and number of the agreement are dynamic.

Welcome to a handmade flower's blog - Camellia Bees. I will show you how to make paper Lisianthus flower. Follow my step by step tutorials to make them quickly.
You just need to prepare the simple ingredients as below:
- Crepe paper
- White floral wire
- Glue or Hot glue gun
- Tissue paper
- Floral tape
- Paint palette
Now let's to make a pretty paper Lisianthus flower by yourself!!!
Step 1: Bud of Lisianthus flower
Roll up the floral wire in a flower bud pattern using tissue paper, then grab the floral tape to wrap it tightly.
Once you have the stigma, fold the paper and cut the petals according to the pattern and size: 1inch * 2inch.
Next, glue and paste about 5-6 petals then paste into the stigma and remember to gently twist the petals with your hand.
Step 2: Calyx and leave of Lisianthus flower
Cut green crepe paper by size: 3/4 inch*1 1/2 inch, then cut calyx as shown above. Cover the bud with glue and sepals, continue using crepe paper to wrap the whole trunk of paper Lisianthus flower.
Finished the calyx is when you scan the color of the petals from outside to inside to complete.
Making leaves for Lisianthus flowers is really easy, you just need to cut green crepe paper into a square with the size: 6cm * 6cm. Then cut the square in half diagonally.
Finally you symmetrically cut the cut paper onto the floral wire and trim the leaves to make it complete.
Step 3: Main flower of paper Lisianthus
First, fold crepe paper and cut petal pattern with specific dimensions:1 1/2 inch*3 inch. Next you use color to paint each petal to get the natural color of the Lisianthus flower.
Next, Paste the successive petals similar to that in step 1 then wrap the petals into the floral wire.
Finally, make calyx and trunk to complete the main flower.
After having all the parts: buds, flowers and leaves. We glue them together with glue to complete the paper Lisianthus flower.

Affliction: Health, Disease, Poverty
Veena Das
This book inaugurates a novel way of understanding the trajectories of health and disease in the context of poverty. Focusing on low-income neighborhoods in Delhi, it stitches together three different sets of issues. First, it examines the different trajectories of illness: What are the circumstances under which illness is absorbed within the normal and when does it exceed the normal. A second set of issues involves how different healers understand their own practices. The book asks: What is expert knowledge? What is it that the health practitioner knows and what does the patient know? How are... More

A Heligan pineapple.
A fruit produced in the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall, England, may just be the most expensive pineapple in the world.
The gardeners at Heligan, who began restoration of the derelict gardens in 1990, first purchased fruits for the Pineapple Pit in 1994. Utilizing the same techniques used 70 years ago, during Heligan's heyday, Heligan's Productive Gardening Team produced a miniature pineapple that was, according to the gardeners, "the most delicious pineapple flavour ever tasted."
The "hotbed" technique used in the Pineapple Pit involves heating 30 tons of straw and horse manure through glass. The team was lucky enough to locate the proper mixture of straw and horse manure at a stable near Falmouth, about an hour from the gardens.
While the price of a modern day Heligan pineapple is yet to be announced, the original Heligan pineapples are estimated to have cost the Victorian equivalent of $15,000 to produce.
After the first fruit was tested by Heligan's gardeners, the second was delivered, by hand, to the Queen.

Apache HBase Write Path
Apache HBase is the Hadoop database, and is based on the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). HBase makes it possible to randomly access and update data stored in HDFS, but files in HDFS can only be appended to and are immutable after they are created. So you may ask, how does HBase provide low-latency reads and writes? In this blog post, we explain this by describing the write path of HBase — how data is updated in HBase.
The write path is how an HBase completes put or delete operations. This path begins at a client, moves to a region server, and ends when data eventually is written to an HBase data file called an HFile. Included in the design of the write path are features that HBase uses to prevent data loss in the event of a region server failure. Therefore understanding the write path can provide insight into HBase's native data loss prevention mechanism.
Each HBase table is hosted and managed by sets of servers which fall into three categories:
- One active master server
- One or more backup master servers
- Many region servers
Region servers contribute to handling the HBase tables. Because HBase tables can be large, they are broken up into partitions called regions. Each region server handles one or more of these regions. Note that because region servers are the only servers that serve HBase table data, a master server crash cannot cause data loss.
HBase data is organized similarly to a sorted map, with the sorted key space partitioned into different shards or regions. An HBase client updates a table by invoking put or delete commands. When a client requests a change, that request is routed to a region server right away by default. However, programmatically, a client can cache the changes in the client side, and flush these changes to region servers in a batch, by turning the autoflush off. If autoflush is turned off, the changes are cached until flush-commits is invoked, or the buffer is full depending on the buffer size set programmatically or configured with parameter "hbase.client.write.buffer".
Since the row key is sorted, it is easy to determine which region server manages which key. A change request is for a specific row. Each row key belongs to a specific region which is served by a region server. So based on the put or delete's key, an HBase client can locate a proper region server. At first, it locates the address of the region server hosting the -ROOTregion from the ZooKeeper quorum. From the root region server, the client finds out the location of the region server hosting the -METAregion. From the meta region server, then we finally locate the actual region server which serves the requested region. This is a three-step process, so the region location is cached to avoid this expensive series of operations. If the cached location is invalid (for example, we get some unknown region exception), it's time to re-locate the region and update the cache.
After the request is received by the right region server, the change cannot be written to a HFile immediately because the data in a HFile must be sorted by the row key. This allows searching for random rows efficiently when reading the data. Data cannot be randomly inserted into the HFile. Instead, the change must be written to a new file. If each update were written to a file, many small files would be created. Such a solution would not be scalable nor efficient to merge or read at a later time. Therefore, changes are not immediately written to a new HFile.
Instead, each change is stored in a place in memory called the memstore, which cheaply and efficiently supports random writes. Data in the memstore is sorted in the same manner as data in a HFile. When the memstore accumulates enough data, the entire sorted set is written to a new HFile in HDFS. Completing one large write task is efficient and takes advantage to HDFS' strengths.
Although writing data to the memstore is efficient, it also introduces an element of risk: Information stored in memstore is stored in volatile memory, so if the system fails, all memstore information is lost. To help mitigate this risk, HBase saves updates in a write-ahead-log (WAL) before writing the information to memstore. In this way, if a region server fails, information that was stored in that server's memstore can be recovered from its WAL.
Note: By default, WAL is enabled, but the process of writing the WAL file to disk does consume some resources. WAL may be disabled, but this should only be done if the risk of data loss is not a concern. If you choose to disable WAL, consider implementing your own disaster recovery solution or be prepared for the possibility of data loss.
The data in a WAL file is organized differently from HFile. WAL files contain a list of edits, with one edit representing a single put or delete. The edit includes information about the change and the region to which the change applies. Edits are written chronologically, so, for persistence, additions are appended to the end of the WAL file that is stored on disk. Because WAL files are ordered chronologically, there is never a need to write to a random place within the file.
As WALs grow, they are eventually closed and a new, active WAL file is created to accept additional edits. This is called "rolling" the WAL file. Once a WAL file is rolled, no additional changes are made to the old file.
By default, WAL file is rolled when its size is about 95% of the HDFS block size. You can configure the multiplier using parameter: "hbase.regionserver.logroll.multiplier", and the block size using parameter: "hbase.regionserver.hlog.blocksize". WAL file is also rolled periodically based on configured interval "hbase.regionserver.logroll.period", an hour by default, even the WAL file size is smaller than the configured limit.
Constraining WAL file size facilitates efficient file replay if a recovery is required. This is especially important during replay of a region's WAL file because while a file is being replayed, the corresponding region is not available. The intent is to eventually write all changes from each WAL file to disk and persist that content in an HFile. After this is done, the WAL file can be archived and it is eventually deleted by the LogCleaner daemon thread. Note that WAL files serve as a protective measure. WAL files need only be replayed to recover updates that would otherwise be lost after a region server crash.
A region server serves many regions, but does not have a WAL file for each region. Instead, one active WAL file is shared among all regions served by the region server. Because WAL files are rolled periodically, one region server may have many WAL files. Note that there is only one active WAL per region server at a given time.
Assuming the default HBase root of "/hbase", all the WAL files for a region server instance are stored under the same root folder, which is as follows:
WAL log files are named as follows:
/hbase/.logs/, ,/%2C %2C.
Each edit in the WAL file has a unique sequence id. This id increases to preserve the order of edits. Whenever a log file is rolled, the next sequence id and the old file name are put in an in-memory map. This information is used to track the maximum sequence id of each WAL file so that we can easily figure out if a file can be archived at a later time when some memstore is flushed to disk.
Edits and their sequence ids are unique within a region. Any time an edit is added to the WAL log, the edit's sequence id is also recorded as the last sequence id written. When the memstore is flushed to disk, the last sequence id written for this region is cleared. If the last sequence id written to disk is the same as the maximum sequence id of a WAL file, it can be concluded that all edits in a WAL file for this region have been written to disk. If all edits for all regions in a WAL file have been written to disk, it is clear that no splitting or replaying will be required, and the WAL file can be archived.
WAL file rolling and memstore flush are two separate actions, and don't have to happen together. However, we don't want to keep too many WAL files per region server so as to avoid time-consuming recovery in case a region server failure. Therefore, when a WAL file is rolled, HBase checks if there are too many WAL files, and decide what regions should be flushed so that some WAL files can be archived.
In this post, we explain the HBase write path, which is how data in HBase is created and/or updated. Some important parts of it are:
- How a client locates a region server,
- Memstore which supports fast random writes,
- WAL files as the way to avoid data loss in case region server failures.
We will talk about HFile formats, WAL file splitting and so on in subsequent posts.


ngBindHtml directive
Sometimes, it might be necessary to bind a string of raw HTML. In this case, the ngBindHtml directive can be used in the same way as ngBind. The only difference will be that it does not escape the content in a secure way, which allows the browser to interpret it.
In order to use this directive, we will need the angular-sanitize.js dependency. It brings the ngBindHtml directive and protects the application against common cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Resource Smart Schools
What is Resource Smart Schools?
"Resource Smart Schools is a free program offered by Sustainability Victoria that supports Victorian schools to embed sustainability across the school facilities, community and curriculum, while saving resources and money for the school."
What Does this mean for our school?
The Resource Smart Schools program offers access to sustainability experts to support our ongoing mission to become a more sustainable school. We are working towards Sustainability Certification by measuring and tracking our use of resources, such as electricity, water, waste, and documenting the biodiversity on school grounds. With this information, we are learning to operate more sustainably, reducing costs to save on electricity, water and waste bills – and greenhouse gas emissions to minimise their impact on the environment.
The school is creating an environmental management system tailored to our needs which will benefit both student learning and our planet.
How does it work?
Schools must accomplish a set number of actions to complete a Module to receive a certificate valid for four years. Completion of the Core Module is the first step as it serves to develop a whole-school environmental management plan. The other four Modules include a minimum number of actions for completion, which once achieved, are submitted for verification. For each module verified, we will be awarded a star, and we are well on our way to achieving 5-star status
