I have a set of PowerShell scripts that include a "common" script, located in the same folder, like this:
# some-script.ps1
$scriptDir = Split-Path -Parent $myinvocation.mycommand.path
. "$scriptDir\script-utils.ps1"
This is fine if the script is called directly, e.g.
However, if the script is called with Invoke-Command, this does not work:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName server01 -FilePath "X:\some-script.ps1"
In this case, infact, $myinvocation.mycommand contains the contents of the script, and $myinvocation.mycommand.path is null.
How can I determine the script's directory in a way that works also when the script is invoked with Invoke-Command?
In the end, this is the solution I actually used:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName server01 '
 {param($scriptArg); & X:\some-script.ps1 $scriptArg } '
 -ArgumentList $something
This also allows passing parameters to the script.

I don't believe you can, from within the invoked script. From get-help invoke-command:
-FilePath Runs the specified local script on one or more remote computers. Enter the path and file name of the script, or pipe a script path to Invoke-Command. The script must reside on the local computer or in a directory that the local computer can access. Use the ArgumentList parameter to specify the values of parameters in the script.
 **When you use this parameter, Windows PowerShell converts the contents of the specified script file to a script
 block, transmits the script block to the remote computer, and runs it on the remote computer.**
When you use invoke-command using the -filepath parameter, the script is read from the file on the local computer, converted to a script block, and that's what gets passed to the remote computer. The remote computer doesn't have any way of knowing if that script block was read from a file.
For the remote computer to know what that original file path was, you'll have to tell it. I think the easiest way to do that would be to write a function to do the invocation, and have it pass the filename to the invoked script as a parameter.

alternatively rather than using filepath.. you could pass in a scriptblock, that dotsources the script from a UNC path that all machines have access to. However each machine will need to have the appropriate executionpolicy set so that they can run that script from the UNC path
let me be clear though, that i'm not saying to run the script from the UNC path as if that does the remoting, but still using invoke-command or start-job to run a scriptblock on a remote computer. It just happens that that scriptblock will run the script from a UNC path for convenience.

text( path = nil ) public
A convenience method which returns the String value of the first child text element, if one exists, and nil otherwise.
Note that an element may have multiple Text elements, perhaps separated by other children. Be aware that this method only returns the first Text node.
This method returns the value of the first text child node, which ignores the raw setting, so always returns normalized text. See the Text::value documentation.
doc = Document.new "some text this is bold! more text" # The element 'p' has two text elements, "some text " and " more text". doc.root.text #-> "some text

Loading Deferred Content (WCF Data Services)
By default, WCF Data Services limits the amount of data that a query returns. However, you can explicitly load additional data, including related entities, paged response data, and binary data streams, from the data service when it is needed. This topic describes how to load such deferred content into your application.
When you execute a query, only entities in the addressed entity set are returned. For example, when a query against the Northwind data service returns Customers entities, by default the related Orders entities are not returned, even though there is a relationship between Customers and Orders. Also, when paging is enabled in the data service, you must explicitly load subsequent data pages from the service. There are two ways to load related entities:
 - Eager loading: You can use the $expand query option to request that the query return entities that are related by an association to the entity set that the query requested. Use the Expand method on the DataServiceQuery to add the $expand option to the query that is sent to the data service. You can request multiple related entity sets by separating them by a comma, as in the following example. All entities requested by the query are returned in a single response. The following example returns Order_Details and Customers together with the Orders entity set:
 // Define a query for orders that also returns items and customers.
 DataServiceQuery query =
 WCF Data Services limits to 12 the number of entity sets that can be included in a single query by using the $expand query option.
 - Explicit loading: You can call the LoadProperty method on the DataServiceContext instance to explicitly load related entities. Each call to the LoadProperty method creates a separate request to the data service. The following example explicitly loads Order_Details for an Orders entity:
 // Explicitly load the order details for each order.
 context.LoadProperty(order, "Order_Details");
When you consider which option to use, realize that there is a tradeoff between the number of requests to the data service and the amount of data that is returned in a single response. Use eager loading when your application requires associated objects and you want to avoid the added latency of additional requests to explicitly retrieve them. However, if there are cases when the application only needs the data for specific related entity instances, you should consider explicitly loading those entities by calling the LoadProperty method. For more information, see How to: Load Related Entities (WCF Data Services).
When paging is enabled in the data service, the number of entries in the feed that the data service returns is limited by the configuration of the data service. Page limits can be set separately for each entity set. For more information, see Configuring the Data Service (WCF Data Services). When paging is enabled, the final entry in the feed contains a link to the next page of data. This link is contained in a DataServiceQueryContinuation object. You obtain the URI to the next page of data by calling the GetContinuation method on the QueryOperationResponse returned when the DataServiceQuery is executed. The returned DataServiceQueryContinuation object is then used to load the next page of results. You must enumerate the query result before you call the GetContinuation method. Consider using a do…while loop to first enumerate the query result and then check for a non-null next link value. When the GetContinuation method returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic), there are no additional result pages for the original query. The following example shows a do…while loop that loads paged customer data from the Northwind sample data service.
// With a paged response from the service, use a do...while loop
// to enumerate the results before getting the next link.
 // Write the page number.
 Console.WriteLine("Page {0}:", pageCount++);
 // If nextLink is not null, then there is a new page to load.
 if (token!= null)
 // Load the new page from the next link URI.
 response = context.Execute(token)
 as QueryOperationResponse;
 // Enumerate the customers in the response.
 foreach (Customer customer in response)
 Console.WriteLine("\tCustomer Name: {0}", customer.CompanyName);
// Get the next link, and continue while there is a next link.
while ((token = response.GetContinuation())!= null);
When a query requests that related entities are returned in a single response together with the requested entity set, paging limits may affect nested feeds that are included inline with the response. For example, when a paging limit is set in the Northwind sample data service for the Customers entity set, an independent paging limit can also be set for the related Orders entity set, as in the following example from the Northwind.svc.cs file that defines the Northwind sample data service.
// Set page size defaults for the data service.
config.SetEntitySetPageSize("Orders", 20);
config.SetEntitySetPageSize("Order_Details", 50);
config.SetEntitySetPageSize("Products", 50);
// Paging requires v2 of the OData protocol.
config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion =
In this case, you must implement paging for both the top-level Customers and the nested Orders entity feeds. The following example shows the while loop used to load pages of Orders entities related to a selected Customers entity.
while (nextOrdersLink!= null)
 foreach (Order o in c.Orders)
 // Print out the orders.
 Console.WriteLine("\t\tOrderID: {0} - Freight: ${1}",
 o.OrderID, o.Freight);
 // Load the next page of Orders.
 var ordersResponse = context.LoadProperty(c, "Orders", nextOrdersLink);
 nextOrdersLink = ordersResponse.GetContinuation();
For more information, see How to: Load Paged Results (WCF Data Services).
WCF Data Services enables you to access binary large object (BLOB) data as a data stream. Streaming defers the loading of binary data until it is needed, and the client can more efficiently process this data. In order to take advantage of this functionality, the data service must implement the IDataServiceStreamProvider provider. For more information, see Streaming Provider (WCF Data Services). When streaming is enabled, entity types are returned without the related binary data. In this case, you must use the GetReadStream method of the DataServiceContext class to access the data stream for the binary data from the service. Similarly, use the SetSaveStream method to add or change binary data for an entity as a stream. For more information, see Working with Binary Data (WCF Data Services).

For an automated selection of tasks to process, operators can use the Get Next Work logic. Get Next Work automatically prompts users with an assignment that currently has the highest urgency in work queues and work groups that the operator can access.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click.
- On the Operators tab, select an operator that you want
Tip: To find your operator faster, in the Search Text field, enter the operator name, and then click Search.
- On the Work tab, in the Organizational
unit section, define the affiliation of the operator within the
organization by clicking Update, and then provide a
relevant organization, division, and unit.
For example: For an organization, enter the name of your company, for example, UPlusTelco, and then provide a division and unit, such as BankingOperations for a division and Mortgages for a unit.
- In the Team field, enter a work group to which the user
belongs.A work group defines routing of tasks and a reporting manager of the user.
For example: If you create Team A to review mortgage requests and Team B to investigate issues with mortgage operations, the two teams can use separate areas of your application so that the work is logically separated.
- Optional: To assign a user to multiple work groups, click Add a work group, in the text box enter a work group, and then select the radio button next to the work group that you want to set as the default.
- Optional: To enhance the reporting options of your application, in the Reports to field, enter the reporting manager for the user.
- Optional: To enable routing of tasks based on a skillset, in the
Skill field, enter the ability of the user, and then
in the Rating field, enter the level of the
ability.You can apply a rating from 1 to 10, where 10 implies the highest level of the skill.
For example: To indicate that a user is a fluent speaker of French, in the Skill field, enter French, and then in the Rating field, enter 10.
- Optional: To allow the user to process assignments from a work queue that corresponds
with the user's work group, in the Work queue section,
click Add item, and then provide a work queue and an
urgency threshold.During Get Next Work processing, your application ignores assignments with urgency lower than the urgency threshold. For more information about Get Next Work, see Customizing the Get Next Work logic.
- Optional: To assign the user to multiple work queues, click Add item, and then repeat step 8.
- Optional: To trigger the Get Next Work algorithm to retrieve assignments from the work
queues of the user first, select the Get from work queues
first check box.Otherwise, Get Next Work picks up the top assignment on the user worklist, and accesses work queues only if this user's worklist is empty.
For example: If a user is a member of the Team A to review mortgage requests, the Next Get Work algorithm suggests assignments that the application routes to the Team A work queue first and then moves to the assignments from the user's individual worklist.
- Optional: To trigger the Get Next Work algorithm to retrieve assignments from all work queues that correspond with the team that you provided in step 4, select the Use all work queue assignments in user's team check box.
- Optional: To trigger the Next Assignment item to consolidate assignments from all of the
work queues of the user, sort by assignment urgency, and return the most urgent
assignment in any work queue, select the Merge work
queues check box.If you select the Use all work queue assignments in user's team check box in step 11, the system selects the Merge work queues check box by default and you cannot clear this check box.
- Click Save.

text: © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.Purpose: This study aims to investigate the evolution of factors that influence the current and future use of video streaming applications by Millennial consumers. Design/methodology/approach: Combining technology acceptance, perceived values and user identity theory this study used factor analysis and multiple regression to examine data from a survey of 292 university undergraduates. Findings: Millennial's current and future use of video streaming services remains driven more by social and emotional values and their effect on identity salience with their choice of content. Ease of use, convenience and monetary value remains less of an influence currently but may become more important in the future with the continued maturity of the industry. Practical implications: The results of this study suggest that video streaming service providers should be developing business models that recognize the increasing importance of emotional appeal and self-identity of their service offerings as the industry matures and competition increases. Originality/value: The research is novel in addressing future video streaming service provision by examining changes in young consumer behaviour over time within a similar sample population and considering the growth and technological advancement of video streaming services. The results are significant in addressing the gap that exists in understanding whether perceived values for technology adoption of the same product or service by millennials change over time and the implications that have for product and service providers.

As I know, there is no difference in meaning between the following two sentences.
 1. It is not important for you to eat good food.
 2. It is not important that you eat good food.
But I believe that there is a little difference between the two sentences at least because the letters in them are different.
Does anybody know the difference?

The first sentence specifically implies that eating good food is not important for you. This means there is someone for whom it is important that you eat food. That "someone" might be the person who is telling you this thing.
In the second sentence the specific reference is not provided to whom it is not important that you eat good food i.e. it simply means that it is for sure not important to anyone that you eat good food. Consider this sentence-It is important that we have better medical facilities in our country. This means it is important for all and not specifically for anyone.
share|improve this answer
Out of context the sentences can mean the same but are partially ambiguous. Do you currently eat good food or not? This is not clear. But whichever is true, eating good food is unimportant.
However, only the second sentence allows a second interpretation, namely:
 - You currently eat good food, but the fact that you do is unimportant.
A statement with this meaning might continue:
 - It is not important that you eat good food; it is important you were born of the right parents.

Angel Eye Bay-Res Water-Cooling Reservoir
Manufacturer: Angel Eye USA
Reservoir and Installation
Why use a reservoir?
The use of a reservoir in a PC water-cooling system is optional. For many the advantages of using a reservoir outweigh the disadvantages. Reservoirs come in many different shapes, sizes and styles. Some contain a submerged pump while others do not and are connected inline. The Angel Eye Bay-Res is an inline reservoir. This means you can pretty much plumb it wherever you want in the water-cooling system. My personal preference is to have the reservoir connected directly ahead of the pump.
Advantages of using a reservoir:
 - Provides an easily accessible fill point
 - Serves as an air trap to help remove air bubbles
 - Provides a reserve volume of water to make up for losses that occur over time
 - Can help reduce NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) of the pump
 - Allows for expansion and contraction of the systems water volume
Disadvantages of using a reservoir:
 - Can be bulky – may be hard to locate in small systems
 - Potential source of flow restriction and leaks
The two most obvious advantages of using a reservoir are providing an easy access point to fill or add water to the system and helping get rid of trapped air bubbles, especially during startup. When you first setup a system, there will always be some air bubbles circulating around in the water. These air bubbles must be removed for optimum performance (water transports heat a lot more efficiently than air).
As the water enters the relatively large volume of the reservoir, the water velocity will decrease (don't confuse velocity with flow – the overall flow rate will remain constant in a closed system). Air bubbles can become trapped in a high velocity fluid stream and may only rise to the surface when the water velocity slows down enough to release them.
In general the higher the overall system flow rate, the larger the reservoir volume will need to be to effectively remove air from the system. Remember though, just because you may have a pump that is rated at 300 GPH free flow, doesn't mean you will have anywhere near that amount in a real system. In addition to the total volume, the shape of the reservoir and use of baffles and/or screens can have a large affect on a reservoir's ability to remove trapped air bubbles. The Bay-Res Rev. 2 incorporates a center baffle, which forces the water to flow down one side and back the other. This helps minimize turbulence and gives the air bubbles a greater chance to reach the surface.
One of the nice features of an inline reservoir is that you can place it most anywhere you want in your system. This means the Bay-Res can go in the top, middle or bottom drive bay. Now some people think that having the reservoir at the highest point in the case is best since air bubbles rise to the highest point, right? Well actually, no. Air bubbles will only freely rise to the highest point when there is no flow. The normal flow in an operating system is usually enough to keep air bubbles trapped and circulating in the coolant stream. Only when the water velocity decreases in the reservoir do the air bubbles have a chance to slow down and rise to the surface.
Installing the Bay-Res in an open 5.25" drive bay was much like installing a typical optical drive. The reservoir is held in place with the four supplied screws. Having a case that uses sliding drive bay rails is a big advantage – it allows quickly and easily sliding the reservoir out for filling or topping off the system.
If your case does not have sliding bay rails then you will have to remove the reservoir mounting screws before you can slide the reservoir forward for filling or topping off the system. Alternately, if the bay(s) above the reservoir are empty, that can also provide access to the fill port.
I generally find that mounting the Bay-Res in the lower 5.25" drive bay works the best for me as it keeps the reservoir below the optical drives (just in case we experience a leak) and the tubing more closely lines up with other components (like the waterblock). In reality, with the option of using either straight or 90º fittings, you can place it in any drive bay you choose.

A method for 3D model content-based search and retrieval based on the 3D Radon transform and a querying-by-3D-model approach, is presented. Descriptors are extracted using the 3D Radon transform and applying a set of functionals on the transform coefficients. Similarity measures are then created for the extracted descriptors and introduced into a 3D model-matching algorithm. This results to a very fast and accurate matching method. Experiments were performed using two different databases and comparing the proposed method with others. Experimental results show that the proposed method can be used for 3D model search and retrieval in a highly efficient manner.

What are Hospital Ice Chips?
Table of Contents
For oral hydration, hospitals use small pieces of Ice chips to soothe a sore throat or to cool the mouth and throat. Methods to make hospital ice chips are crushing ice cubes or breaking up the block of ice. Ice chips are typically made from purified water and are safe to consume. When patients cannot drink more significant amounts of liquid because of illness or medical treatment, they are commonly used in hospitals and other healthcare settings to help patients keep hydrated and comfortable. Some people also use ice chips at home to help with dehydration, sore throat, or other conditions that affect the mouth and throat.
Benefits Of Ice Chips
- Hydration: Ice chips can help to hydrate the body because is solid form of water. People who have trouble swallowing or might feel sick and struggle to drink more significant amounts of water will find this to be especially helpful.
- Cooling effect: Ice chips can provide a cooling effect on the body, which can help reduce fever or overheating.
- Sore throat relief: Ice chips can help numb the throat and temporarily relieve soreness or irritation.
- Oral hygiene: Ice chips can help to clean the mouth and teeth, as the cold temperature helps to make it bacteria free and freshen your breath.
- Digestive aid: Ice chips can help digestion, stimulate the small intestine, and reduce bloating or discomfort.
- Pain relief: To numb, use ice chips and reduce pain in some body regions, such as following a dental procedure or during a sports injury.
- Weight loss: Some people use ice chips to curb hunger cravings and assist with weight loss efforts.
- Energy boost: Ice chips can provide a quick burst of energy, as the body uses energy to heat the ice and bring it to body temperature.
Why Hospitals Give Ice Chips
Hospitals give ice chips for several reasons:
- Hydration: Ice chips can help keep a patient hydrated, especially if they cannot drink more significant amounts of fluids due to illness or surgery.
- Comfort: Ice chips can comfort patients who may have a dry mouth or throat due to medications or treatments.
- Oral care: After surgery, a patient might not be able to brush their teeth or wash their mouth with water. Ice chips can help to clean the mouth and teeth.
- Cooling: Ice chips can help to cool down a patient's body temperature in the hospital.
- Swelling: Ice chips can help to reduce swelling in the mouth, throat, or other areas of the body.
Ice chips are a simple but effective way to help care for patients in a hospital setting.
Why to Have Ice Chips only Before Surgery?
You can only have ice chips before surgery because they are easy to digest and do not need chewing or digestion. It is crucial because, during surgery, the body's digestive system is essentially shut down, so anything eaten before surgery will sit in the stomach and intestines without being properly processed. It can lead to nausea, vomiting, and other digestive issues. On the other hand, ice chips can be quickly and easily absorbed by the body and do not pose any potential digestive problems. Additionally, ice chips can help to keep you hydrated and can provide some relief for dry mouth or throat.
What Kind Of Ice Maker Do Hospitals Use?
Hospitals typically use commercial ice makers, which are larger and more powerful than residential ice makers. These ice makers can produce large quantities of ice, making them ideal for busy hospitals where ice is use for various purposes such as patient care, food and beverage service, and laboratory research. Some hospitals may also use ice makers specifically designed for medical use, equipped with features such as built-in water filtration systems to ensure the ice is clean and safe to consume.
In conclusion, hospital staff gives their patients ice chips since it simply keeps them hydrated before and following surgery. It makes sense to provide commercial ice rather than manually crushed ice to your patients, visitors, or staff members so they can enjoy their fizzy water or drinks while staying chilly or cool on a warm day. I suggest visiting my webpage if you want to enjoy ice chips in the convenience of your own house.

The construction sector in the United States is expected to grow by 8.8 % this year, and by 2026, the country's construction production is predicted to exceed $1.65 Trillion. Construction firms should be ready to tackle the challenges and changes to take advantage of the opportunities in this sector.
The industry has experienced a decline in recent years despite being a key sector for economic growth in the United States. This sector is expected to re-emerge and grow in 2022 after a challenging period of modifying estimates and changing expectations. The residential construction sector will continue to grow in the coming quarters, followed by non-building construction and commercial construction. Despite the inevitable challenges that the construction industry faces, this sector will experience changes that will aid in the mitigation of some of the issues. This blog explains the recent trends in the construction industry and how these trends will shape the future of the construction industry.
Construction Industry Forecast
In 2022, the construction sector in the United States is expected to grow by 8.8 %, reaching $1.35 Trillion. The growth trend is likely to continue with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5% between 2022 and 2026. By 2026, the country's construction production is predicted to exceed $1.65 Trillion.
Infrastructure expectations have increased with the passage of the Bipartisan Law, which includes long-term expenditures to rebuild roads, bridges, and highways, modernize transportation, and expand energy output. The non-residential building and non-residential construction are predicted to lead the development, followed by transportation and public safety.
Analyzing the Construction Industry from a Sectoral Perspective
- Residential Construction: A key contributor to the economic recovery in the US following the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis has been the housing sector, with double-digit growth rates since the third quarter of 2020. Due to low mortgage rates, strong demand for bigger living spaces, and a shallow housing inventory, this sector has experienced rapid growth. With Fed's recent signals about continued interest rate increases to tame inflation, this sector may slow down in the near term.
- Commercial Construction: Retail stores, warehouses, offices, and hotels are some examples of commercial buildings. In 2022, commercial construction is predicted to increase by 12%, with warehouse construction accounting for most of the increase. The need for warehouse construction expanded as the reliance on e-commerce grew during the pandemic.
- Institutional Building: If the COVID-19 vaccination rate continues to rise and the variants do not lead to widespread closures, institutional building starts will slowly increase in 2022. Starts will gain 6% as dollar value increases to $145B. It includes construction activity in Education, Transportation, Recreation, Healthcare, and Public buildings.
- Manufacturing Construction: Due to the significant limits and delays induced by the pandemic in manufacturing and distribution networks in 2020, the construction sector in the United States is likely to suffer a short setback in 2022. As a result, manufacturing construction starts are predicted to remain constant in dollar value in 2022, at $22.6B.
- Non-Building Construction: This sector will have great potential due to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). However, as the bill was passed in 2021, minor effects are projected in 2022. Street and Bridge Construction, Water and Environmental Engineering, Electric Power and Utilities, and other Non-Building structures are all included in this category. By 2022, Power/Utility construction will increase by 10% to $38.5B, while public works construction will increase by 5% to $167B.
Challenges in the Construction Industry
- Construction is slow to adopt new advancements and technologies, such as project management software, drones, and building information modeling.
- A shortage of skilled labor has slowed the pace of onsite projects and makes it more difficult to encourage new talent to become involved. Over the next two years, one million new construction workers will be needed in the United States.
- In the construction industry, supply chain disruptions often lead to a shortage of building materials and increased prices. According to a National Association of Home Builders survey, more than 90% of builders reported shortages of appliances, framing lumber, and oriented strand boards. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that construction material prices were up by almost 25% in 2021.
The Construction Sector is Expected to Change in 2022
The construction industry is changing norms regarding protective gear. Innovations with wearable technology are making their ways to the market, such as boots with Wi-Fi connections that can detect a person's fall and headsets that reduce noise while keeping workers focused.
- As the construction industry grows, green construction is making its mark. It includes technology that can lower a building's carbon footprint and construction models that help in reducing the usage of resources. Green Scaping has become common in urban centers where rooftops are covered with plants and small parks.
- Construction firms are increasingly turning to modular and offsite construction to overcome time and onsite constraints. By 2025, the modular construction industry will reach almost $110B in value, dominated by the residential sector.
- Construction technology innovations boosting efficiency will likely stand out as the biggest differentiator for builders and developers this year. Innovations that enable this sector include Construction Drones, Augmented Reality (AR), and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to facilitate computer renderings of buildings and utilities. Employing mobile applications for real-time inspections will make the construction process more efficient.
- A change in attitude toward trade schools allows fresh talent to be employed and attracts Generation-Z to the construction business. Women are also stepping up to fill roles in the construction business; according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women already hold 10.9% of construction industry employment, a number predicted to climb.
Despite certain obstacles, the construction industry is the largest contributor to the US economy. Construction firms should take necessary steps to address the challenges like labor shortages, technology adoption, and productivity issues to avoid escalation of costs, diminishing productivity, and project delays. Companies require professionals equipped with the latest skills to operate in the construction domain. iQuasar, with over 15+ years of experience, has a vast pool of qualified candidates and strong industry connections that can help businesses in the construction industry with skilled professionals in quick turn-around time.

Some fruits such as pumpkins can grow to be 100 lbs. Under different conditions, the same variety of pumpkin can produce a 15 lb. fruit. Both plants are healthy, and look the same except for their size difference. If I took two red apple trees and planted them in extreme opposite conditions, the fruit size would be nearly the same. The fruit quantity would be lowered in the tree grown under poor conditions. Why do fruits have such a variable range of acceptable sizes?

Very interesting question, but this can be likened to asking "why are there more than one different animal species?". I hope someone can come up with a nice and specific answer, other than "evolution". – CHM Apr 3 '12 at 2:35
_USER_ maybe a good answer could address "R vs K selected species" – David Apr 3 '12 at 5:54
Some kinds of apples also have wide range of fruit size. The tree in my grandparents garden have fruits varying from 3 to 12 cm in diameter (when they are ripe). – Marta Cz-C Apr 3 '12 at 18:46
This is also essentially two questions in one. We could be asking "What can explain the size difference in pumpkins", and "Why are all apples of similar size". – LanceLafontaine Apr 6 '12 at 16:16

Pumpkins, squashes in general, grow on vines, while apples grow on trees. Vines are fast growing and trees are not. Zucchini can be quite large; cucumbers, too. Pears, plums, peaches and other tree fruits do have a reduced variation in fruit size. While I do not know the answer to your question, my background in plant biology tells me that this is an important part of the reason. For example, a watermelon or pumpkin rests on the earth, but a tree fruit hangs. If that fruit is too heavy it falls from the ground before it is ripe - before the seeds are fully differentiated that is. So, while "evolution" might be an answer, it is important to discuss what aspects are at play.
I think it has to do with vine vs tree, and how the fruit is attached and hangs/lays.

grapes grow on vines, but they are closer to apples in acceptable fruit sizes. – J. Musser Apr 18 '12 at 1:16
but grape bunches come in a wide variety of sizes. – futurebird Jun 21 '13 at 17:26
Does that mean if some external support is provided to say an apple, will it grow to a bigger size? Has there any such experiment done? – san1646 Oct 2 '14 at 21:25
Bigger pumpkins have more seeds than smaller pumpkins. When they get ideal nutrition the plant tries to make as many seeds as it can to take advantage of the windfall. Many of these vines with big fruit potential grow in compost and rotting material. So they are more opportunistic a pumpkin seed "in the wild" could land in a barren area or in a heap of rotting material-- if it hits the jackpot it meeds to quickly use those nutrients to make more seeds.
PLants with more consistent fruit sizes don't respond as well to "jack pot" levels of rotting material-- they like more consistent nourishment. I think this is another difference.
Also one large pumpkin is a more efficient way to enclose seeds than lots of little pumpkins.
share|improve this answer
I suspect the answer to this, is that in looking at agricultural fruits you are looking at plants that have been the subject of artificial selection, and the tree vs vine thing is a practical limit, but not the driving factor... for instance a jack fruit grows on tree and is watermelon sized...
I think if you look at something like a pumpkin, you will likely see that pumpkins have 3 traits:
 1. Indeterminate growth... they will produce as many fruit as the season will let them.
 2. Individual fruit will try to complete growth and ripen before winter
 3. Vines with fewer fruit can devote more resources per fruit, and therefor larger fruit.
Even in apples; if all of the blooms go to fruit the apples will be smaller (commercially apples are thinned to make market acceptable sized fruit): _URL_
So I think the real issue is less tree vs vine, and more about growth patterns... it may be possible to have a watermelon sized apple, but the tree will have to be sturdy enough to support the fruit: so it isn't a non-issue, but support is a limiting factor.
share|improve this answer
Well... If I support an apple, it will still mature at the same size. – J. Musser Jul 23 '14 at 2:00
that is a non sequitur... if an apple were to grow very much larger it would require more support. – Grady Player Jul 23 '14 at 3:52
Yes, but is that the only restriction on size variability within a species? – J. Musser Jul 23 '14 at 3:53
No it is only a limiting factor... apples are highly variable, there is a good segment on them on "The Botany of Desire" (TV show, probably book)... I think you can sort of generalize it as a distance = Rate * Time problem (it really isn't linear, I assume)... Rate is made up of how the plant responds to the level of growth hormones that it produces with the amount of nutrients it can provide, and the time is the time that it is in the part of the growth cycle that it is actually growing. – Grady Player Jul 23 '14 at 14:21

The East Ithaca Depot
The building AGAVA resides in was known as the East Ithaca Railroad Depot, built as part of Ezra's investment in 1876. The Depot was a stop on the Utica, Ithaca & Elmira Railway Line. Ezra wanted a station as close to campus as possible to make travel to this remote campus easy on faculty, and students. The original location was down the street at the current Coal Café and Coal Apartments on Maple Avenue.
During the 1850s and 60s, railroads were booming in the United States. The Ithaca and Owego Railroad had opened in 1834, but it was more of a horse drawn trolley on wood planks than a steel rail locomotive line. It wasn't until after the Civil War that Ezra Cornell used an estimated $2 million of his own fortune to put Ithaca on the railroad map. Ezra recognized that the railways would help not only secure future trade but also provide travel facilities for members of the University he was in the process of forming.
Today the only active line is a train that runs from Gang Mills yard (west of Corning) over the ex-Erie to Waverly line and then up the Ithaca & Athens line to Ithaca & Cayuga Lake. Cargill and NYSEG account for most of the car loads
Utica, Ithaca & Elmira Railroad. First Train out over Deep Gorge between Van Etten and Horseheads, November 11, 1873. Ezra Cornell, wearing top hat, has one foot on timber guard.

Earning to give is the pursuit of a lucrative career with the purpose of donating a significant portion of the earnings to cost-effective organizations.
The value of earning to give may not be immediately obvious, since people tend to think of ethical jobs as those with a direct positive impact. A useful framing for comparing the social impact of earning to give with that of traditional careers in the nonprofit sector is to consider whether someone pursuing a lucrative career could earn enough to fund at least one nonprofit worker as competent as himor herself. This will often be the case because there is considerable salary variation across career-types, because money is a fungible resource that can fund many different causes, and because the impact of a charity worker is usually only marginally higher than that of its counterfactual replacement (MacAskill 2014).
Although this approach has sometimes been represented as the highest impact type of career, 80,000 Hours currently believes that it is the best option for only a small proportion of members of the effective altruism community (MacAskill 2015). To a significant extent, this follows from the fact that the most promising causes tend to be talent-constrained rather than funding-constrained (Todd 2015)....

Species: Queen of the Andes (Puya raimondii)
Status: Endangered (EN)
Interesting Fact: The Queen of the Andes may take as long as 80 to 150 years to flower and will only flower once before dying.
The Queen of the Andes is best known for its spectacular flower spike, which can reach up to 10 metres high. These spikes bear over 8,000 whitish-green blooms, which turn purple with age. The Queen of the Andes is a monocarpic species, meaning that it will die after flowering for the first time. These plants produce as many as 8 to 12 million seeds, but if conditions are not suitable few seeds will survive to germination. This means that a plant that is more than a century old may never actually reproduce successfully. The Queen of the Andes grows in the harsh, high-altitude environment of the Andes in Peru and Bolivia. This highly adapted species produces an anti-freeze chemical in its sap to survive freezing temperatures.
Today, the Queen of the Andes has an extremely fragmented distribution. Vegetation destruction, grazing by livestock, fires, and the introduction of exotic species all threaten this species. The Andean region is regarded as a priority for plant conservation, meaning action is urgently required to preserve this unique ecosystem and its important vegetation.
Find out more about the Queen of the Andes on the IUCN Red List website.

The IE parole program provides a temporary immigration pathway for foreign entrepreneurs who have founded companies in the United States attracting venture capital or other funding that may benefit the nation by growing and adding jobs to the U.S. economy.
Under the IE program, parole may be granted to up to three entrepreneurs per start-up entity, as well as their spouses and children. Parole authorizes the beneficiary the right to enter and stay in the United States, for a specific period of time granted by DHS. The IE program is not a typical immigration pathway, but it fills a gap for entrepreneurs that more common immigration statuses do not satisfy. Entrepreneurs granted parole are eligible to work only for their start-up business, and their spouses may apply for employment authorization in the United States, though their children are not eligible for such authorization based on this parole.
International Entrepreneur parole program applicants must show that they:
- Possess a substantial ownership interest in a start-up entity created within the past five years in the United States that has substantial potential for rapid growth and job creation.
- Have a central and active role in the start-up entity such that they are well-positioned to substantially assist with the growth and success of the business.
- Will provide a significant public benefit to the United States based on their role as an entrepreneur of the start-up entity by showing that:
- The start-up entity has received a significant investment of capital from certain qualified U.S. investors with established records of successful investments;
- The start-up entity has received significant awards or grants for economic development, research and development, or job creation (or other types of grants or awards typically given to start-up entities) from federal, state, or local government entities that regularly provide such awards or grants to start-up entities; or
- They partially meet either or both of the previous two requirements and provide additional reliable and compelling evidence of the start-up entity's substantial potential for rapid growth and job creation.
- Otherwise merit a favorable exercise of discretion.


Rescued Mice. Find a Mouse at a Shelter
 - Find photos of Mice for adoption near you. Read profiles of Mice personalities.
 - Give a healthy Mouse a home. Why buy a Mouse for sale when you can adopt?
 - Use Search Saver. We will e-mail you when we find a Mouse in your area for adoption.
What to Consider Before Adopting a Mouse.
We are happy that you have decided to adopt a Mouse. Mouse adoption is a wonderful way to provide a Mouse a second chance and caring environment. Most pets arrive at shelters because the owner had to move, could no longer afford the pet, had a death in the family, or simply gave up the responsibly of being a care taker for a Mouse. Before bringing home a Mouse, make sure you have considered the full impact of your decision. Below is a brief overview of the type of needs a Mouse might require and what you will need to consider for the life time care of a Mouse.
First most, understand that no matter what, even if you buy a Mouse for sale, or adopt, as a new pet owner it is your responsibility to care for the Mouse it's entire lifespan. Part of that responsibility is taking time to understand the basic needs of a Mouse. At the top of that list should be getting know the diet of a Mouse. Find out how often and what a Mouse needs to eat. Next, what shelter do you need to provide? Get to know what habitat a Mouse is accustom to, what temperature will the Mouse need to maintain, and what range of temperatures are acceptable for a Mouse to survive.
It's usually a good idea to get to know a little more about Mouse habits, temperament and relationship with humans before adopting a Mouse. For example, can you handle a Mouse. What is an indicator if a Mouse is being aggressive and senses fear? Some pets will maintain much more happiness as long as they live socially, does a Mouse need a companion pet in order to live happily? What exercise does a Mouse need regularly?
Mouse adoption can be an enriching experience, and is a big decision. Whatever pet you adopt will demand certain lifestyle changes, and a financial commitment. Estimating the monthly costs of owning a pet is just as important as making sure you have the time and motivation to feed the Mouse when necessary, and provide a safe environment to live.

Balance and adjust the number of posts
Depending on the Cycle Time and different Takt Time, we will be able to balance and adjust the number of operators on manual stations. There is 11 positions.
The overall cycle time for all of these positions is 868 seconds.
The theoretical calculation of the number of operators for the different takt time is as follows :
- High season : Takt = 2mn 36s soit 156s —> 868 / 156 = 5.5 so 6 operators
- Average season : Takt = 3mn 15s soit 195s —> 868 / 195 = 4.5 so 5 operators
- Low season : Takt = 4mn 20s soit 260s —> 868 / 260 = 3.3 so 4 operators
The assembly line is linear, and a length of at least 40m, balancing can be done only on contiguous positions. It is thus not possible to use the theoretical calculation.
The various balances are the following :
The number of operators, according to seasonality is from 8 to 5.

Market structure and disempowering regulatory intermediaries: Insights from U.S. trade surveillance
Miles Kellerman, DPhil student, has published a new article presenting the 'Marketing Structure Hypothesis'.
Public agencies outsource a wide variety of tasks to nonstate actors, or what can be referred to as regulatory intermediaries. In certain circumstances, these agencies may seek to disempower those regulatory intermediaries by reclaiming, duplicating, or transferring the outsourced task. When will these disempowerment attempts be successful? This article presents the Market Structure Hypothesis, which contends that the level of competition between regulatory intermediaries will, all things equal, determine whether disempowerment attempts succeed. To test this hypothesis, this article examines the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's attempts to acquire the independent capacity to conduct nationwide trade surveillance in the 1980s (Market Oversight Surveillance System) and 2010s (Consolidated Audit Trail). Evidence derives from archival materials, a Freedom of Information Act Request, and 60 interviews in Oxford, London, Toronto, New York City, and Washington, DC. The empirical results corroborate the hypothesis' expectations, contributing to our understanding of public‐private partnerships and shedding new empirical light on an understudied topic of securities regulation.

What Does Fox Scat Look Like?
Because foxes are nocturnal and avoid people, homeowners typically discover fox poop long before catching a glimpse of the animal itself. Fox scat can look like scat of other pests, so proper identification is important. Fox droppings are similar to coyote scat, only smaller. Usually, their feces are tan or brown and about two to three inches long with pointy ends. A fox's variable diet affects the look of its feces, so waste may contain bones, hair, insects, and pieces of fruit or seeds.
Hazards of Fox Feces
While foxes themselves can spread diseases like rabies and mange, contact with their droppings is equally as dangerous. It is not unusual for fox scat to contain tapeworms and roundworms. Additionally, these parasites and their eggs contaminate the soil beneath fox poop, as well. In addition to carrying a number of diseases that can infect people and pets, foxes may become aggressive if threatened.

Here's how to say the Hogwarts houses in other languages
Text size Aa Aa
The Harry Potter franchise is a global sensation and the books have been translated from British English into around 73 languages.
While some translators have stayed true to the original English spelling and pronunciation, others have changed the names of characters and places for their audience.
The Hogwarts houses, named after the four founders of the school of witchcraft and wizardry, are at the core of the books and films.
In the English versions, the four houses are called Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin, and while their pronunciations may vary, these names have been kept in the Portuguese, German, Spanish and Turkish translations.
Despite using a different alphabet, the Arabic and Greek translations keep the same pronunciation of all the Hogwarts houses, with "Gryffindor" written غودريك غريفندور and Γκρίφιντορ, but pronounced the same as in English.
Italian, French, Welsh and Hungarian have completely changed some of the houses to make their onomatopoeic quality more obvious for their audience.
"Slytherin" became "Serpentard" in French and in Welsh, translators went for the descriptive "Slaffenog".
"Hufflepuff", the house represented by a badger, became "Tassorosso" in Italian, "Poufsouffle" in French and "Wfftiwff" in Welsh.

ChainIn set theory, a chain is a totally ordered subset of a partially ordered set. In algebraic topology, a chain is a formal combination of simplices.
A chain is a measurement of length equivalent to 22 yards (20.12 metres), which is one tenth of a furlong or one eightieth of a mile. It was used in surveying land in England and places under English influence, such as the United States, but is obsolete in many places. It is also called the surveyor's chain or Gunter's chain after 17th century mathematican and astronomer Edmund Gunter, who introduced it. The distance of 22 yards is the length of the pitch (from wicket to wicket) in cricket.
The engineer's chain or Ramden's chain of 100 feet (30.48m) was also used.

ALPS - Analyzing and Modeling Transitions of Common Property Pastures in the Swiss Alps
The common property pastures in the Swiss Alps provide significant services to the mountainous regions, such as income sources for farmers and tourism industry, protection from soil erosion, water-run-off, landslides, and high biodiversity. These services are highly dependent on continuous management of the alpine pastures. In Switzerland, most alpine summer pastures are common property and have been managed by local governance systems since the Middle Ages in order to avoid over-use of the scarce resources. Societal changes, like industrialization, rapid economic growth, and new agricultural policies, induced major transitions of the pasture management system, which led to abandonment of marginal land or intensification of productive areas ensuing reduction of biodiversity on the long-term.

Indexing is the process of replacing a unique identifier such as the CHI number, or a combination of identifiers such as name, date of birth and post code with a randomly assigned study ID so that records can still be linked but no explicit "real world" identifiable information about an individual is made public. The process uses probability matching of available personal identifiers to a population spine and returning an anonymised unique person identifier specific to the project. For health data where PHS is the data controller eDRIS can perform the indexing, otherwise indexing services are provided by trusted third party indexing services from National Records Scotland (NRS) Indexing Team or PHS CHI Linkage (CHILi) Team as required.
A useful image illustrating the indexing process can be found at the NRS website here.
Data for your study will be linked using established probability matching techniques based on the Howard Newcombe principles. Linkage will be undertaken by a trusted third party and a Population Spine used as an intermediary linkage tool. The Population Spine contains the personal identifiers of all individuals in Scotland who have been in contact with NHS Scotland. The steps describing the process of linking data are detailed below:
- Data Providers will supply personal identifiers (only) plus their own person or record ID number to the indexing team.
- The indexing team will probability match the identifiers to the Population Spine using complex algorithms.
- The Data Provider will receive a file back with their own person or record ID number and a unique person index ID number specific to that dataset. This is generated by the indexing team.
- The Data Provider will attached the received index ID number to the remaining content of the dataset to be provided for linkage and send to their Research Coordinator.
- The Research Coordinator will confirm that the agreed data has been received and send the file to the linkage agent. The linkage agent is an automated computer programme which carries out the linkage.
- The linkage agent will receive 2 files all the datasets and their unique person ID numbers plus a master control file containing a master person ID and all the dataset unique Person index ID numbers.
- The linkage agent will then replace all the dataset unique Person ID numbers with the master Person ID number on each of the content data files.
- This allows the person analysing the data to see all the records belonging to an individual across all the datasets without the need to see the personal identifiers.

You can try using the "try-catch" block in javascript.
To use it you can call any one function / refer a variable of the file you want to check inside the try block. If it does not enter the 'catch' block then it means that the file is loaded.
You can also use Firebug to check which files gets loaded and which aren't and the errors as to why aren't they getting loaded.

Chevrolet has made great efforts to use new technology in its cars. And in a bid to reduce weight in the Corvette, the company has announced it will be using a lightweight shape memory alloy wire to replace motorized components used to open and close a hatch release vent. So what exactly does this lightweight shape memory alloy wire do? Basically it's a wire made from copper-aluminum-nickel or nickel-titanium. The wire's chemistry allows it to change its shape when subjected to heat, electric current or pressure. The smart bit is that the wire remembers its original shape and goes back to its original form when deactivated.This makes it an ideal candidate for opening and closing jobs and hence its use in the 2014 Corvette's The specific vent for which it will be used, releases air trapped in the trunk and helps close the trunk lid easier. GM is in the process of putting the wire to greater use in its car, and is in the process of replacing roughly 200 motorized parts of a typical car. This will allow for greater weight reduction. It doesn"t seem so important from the outside, but as the number of electronic system climbs, the cabling ni cars has become a major subject of research. Official press release

The projected cost of a new high school is $20,066,340 of which $5,216,340 will be covered by annual grants. Using data from the last census the planning committee estimated the cost per town resident. However new census data reveals that the population has increased by 2200 people reducing the cost of each resident by $75.
What is the current population of the town?
1 Answer | Add Yours
If $5,216,340 will be covered by annual grants, this leaves $20,066,340 - $5,216,340 = $14,850,000 left to be covered by the residents of the town.
Let x = original population
Let 'y_n' = new cost per person
Let' y_o' = old cost per person
'y_n = 14,850,000/(x+2,200)'
'y_o = 14,850,000/x'
'14,850,000/x - 14,850,000/(x+2,200) = 75'
'14,850,000(x+2200) -14,850,000x = 75x(x+2,200)'
'14,850,000x+32,670,000,000 -14,850,000x = 75x^2 +165,000x'
Use the quadratic formula:
a=1; b=2,200; c=435,600,000
Since the population could not have been negative we know that:
'x=(-2,200+41,800)/2 = 19,800'
Therefore, the current population of the town is 19,800+2,200 = 22,000.

Definition - What does Anaerobic mean?
Anaerobic refers to a type of environment that consists of a partial or complete lack of oxygen. It may also refer to a type of corrosion that occurs in the presence of anoxic water.
Corrosionpedia explains Anaerobic
Anaerobic corrosion is most readily observed when a metal is placed or used in an environment with a high concentration of bacteria. These bacteria can survive in areas without oxygen and force metal degradation and/or corrosion via the microorganism's activity. Such a mechanism is primarily observed in the presence of anoxic water.
A major type of anaerobic corrosion is hydrogen corrosion, which involves a redox reaction that reduces hydrogen ions to form molecular hydrogen.

Association Between Serotonin Syndrome and Second-Generation Antipsychotics via Pharmacological Target-Adverse Event Analysis
Case reports suggest an association between second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) and serotonin syndrome (SS). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) was analyzed to generate hypotheses about how SGAs may interact with pharmacological targets associated with SS. FAERS was integrated with additional sources to link information about adverse events with drugs and targets. Using Proportional Reporting Ratios, we identified signals that were further investigated with the literature to evaluate mechanistic hypotheses formed from the integrated FAERS data. Analysis revealed common pharmacological targets perturbed in both SGA and SS cases, indicating that SGAs may induce SS. The literature also supported 5-HT2A antagonism and 5-HT1A agonism as common mechanisms that may explain the SGA-SS association. Additionally, integrated FAERS data mining and case studies suggest that interactions between SGAs and other serotonergic agents may increase the risk for SS. Computational analysis can provide additional insights into the mechanisms underlying the relationship between SGAs and SS.

This question is inspired by this one. In that thread, it's established that there are uncountably many cube-free infinite binary strings (where $x \in 2^{\omega}$ is cube-free iff $\forall \sigma \subset x,\ \sigma \sigma \sigma \not \subset x$). Here $\subset$ denotes "substring" which should be distinguished from "initial segment" which I'll denote by $\sqsubset$ if the need arises.
So let $C \subset 2^{\omega}$ be the subset of Cantor space consisting of all cube-free sequences. It's uncountable, and easily seen to be closed, hence it contains a perfect set.
Question 1. Is $C$ perfect?
Let's define:
$T_C = \{ \sigma \in 2^{<\omega} : (\exists x \in C)(\sigma \sqsubset x)\}$
$\ \ \ \ \ = \{ \sigma \in 2^{<\omega} : (\forall n > |\sigma|)( \exists \tau \in 2^n )(\sigma \sqsubset \tau,\ \tau$ cube-free$)\}$
$T_P = \{\sigma \in 2^{<\omega} : (\forall \tau \sqsupset \sigma, \tau \in T_C)(\exists \rho_1, \rho_2 \sqsupset \tau$ both in $T_C)(\rho_1 \perp \rho_2)\}$
Question 2. $T_C$ is evidently $\Pi ^0 _1$, but is it in fact recursive?
If we let $P$ denote the maximal perfect subset of $C$ obtained by iteratively removing isolated points of $C$ until this procedure stabilizes (taking intersections at limit stages), then $P$ determines a tree which I believe would be the tree $T_P$ defined above.
Question 3. What is the complexity of the tree determined by $P$?
If $T_P$ is indeed the tree determined by $P$, then the tree determined by $P$ is at worst $\Pi ^0 _3$, but can we do better?
UPDATE: The answers are:
 1. Yes
 2. Yes
 3. Since $C$ is perfect, $P = C$ and so by the answers to 1 and 2, the tree determined by $P$ is just the tree determined by $C$, which is recursive.
I've learnt this after discussing it with Robert Shelton, one of the authors of the paper Gjergji linked to in his response below. In fact, what I've gathered is that there's a function $f$, better than being on the order of $n^2$, such that to determine whether an arbitrary finite string $\sigma$ has a cube-free infinite extension, it suffices to check whether it has one of length $f(|\sigma|)$ (where $|\sigma|$ is the length of $\sigma$). I suppose this would mean furthermore that the tree $T_C$ is not merely recursive, i.e. $\Delta_1$, but in fact $\Delta_0$.

I found an article of J.D. Currie and R.O. Shelton that answers the first question. "The set of k-power free words over Σ is empty or perfect".
Added: Note that Currie has a number of papers on power free words, and many of them are on the arxiv.
share|improve this answer
Thanks. The article actually seems to answer all the questions I asked (possibly). Since $C$ is perfect, $T_C = T_P$ so questions 2 and 3 are equivalent. And Theorem 3.3 claims that we can effectively determine whether a finite binary string has an infinite cube-free extension. It's not clear whether this effective procedure is uniform however, and the proof of this theorem along with the definitions of some key terms appear to be in some other papers, so rather than chasing papers I emailed the authors and asked. I'll post an update if I get a response. – Amit Kumar Gupta Apr 15 '11 at 15:12
After a fruitful back-and-forth with Robert Shelton, I've understood that yes, the tree $T_C$ is recursive. – Amit Kumar Gupta Apr 19 '11 at 14:53

Definition - What does Back Ionization mean?
Back ionization is the excessive deposition of charged powder particles, preventing further powder from being deposited on the substrate. This results in improper surface coating.
This phenomenon causes coatings to have high porosity and improper bonding, leading to a coating that is not suitable for corrosion protection.
Back ionization is also known as starring or starburst effect.
Corrosionpedia explains Back Ionization
When charged powder coating is applied to a metal surface, the thickness of powder coating increases. Because of this, a cumulative charge will be produced by powder particles on the coating as coating's thickness increases. As the coating thickness increases, the strength of the electric field becomes sufficient to ionize air trapped between powder particles.
The ionization of air generates a great number of positive ions. These positive charges try to escape from the coating and attract the negative charge of the coating particles. This creates an uneven coating surface. This causes an "orange peel" texture on the powder's surface. The phenomenon is more typical when applying a second coat on a part, but can occur when applying the first coat.
How to avoid back ionization:
- Lower voltage settings
- Optimizing distance between the gun and coating surface
- Ion collector use: A grounding ring or grounding source of power

A pie graph is the best way to show portions, or parts of a whole. You're starting to pick up some real science smarts!
Pie graphs represent data in a visual, easy to read manner, which helps us to understand data more clearly.
Using this pie graph, we can see just what portion of all the trash each particular type of trash represents
(how big of a piece of cake each type of trash "eats"). It's as simple as that!
Even though graphs can look simple, there's a lot of information in a graph.
Let's test your ability to read
Q1: What type
of trash makes up the biggest portion of trash? (Hint: look
at the biggest piece of pie and then match its color with the type of trash
found in the legend on the right.)
Q2: Can we say
what makes up the heaviest piece of trash from the graph?
Yes: - cigarettes
No: - not enough information provided

Reciprocity law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For the reciprocity law in photography, see Reciprocity (photography).
In mathematics, a reciprocity law is a generalization of the law of quadratic reciprocity.
There are several different ways to express reciprocity laws. The early reciprocity laws found in the 19th century were usually expressed in terms of a power residue symbol (p/q) generalizing the quadratic reciprocity symbol, that describes when a prime number is an nth power residue modulo another prime, and gave a relation between (p/q) and (q/p). Hilbert reformulated the reciprocity laws as saying that a product over p of Hilbert norm residue symbols (a,b/p), taking values in roots of unity, is equal to 1. Artin reformulated the reciprocity laws as a statement that the Artin symbol from ideals (or ideles) to elements of a Galois group is trivial on a certain subgroup. Several more recent generalizations express reciprocity laws using cohomology of groups or representations of adelic groups or algebraic K-groups, and their relationship with the original quadratic reciprocity law can be hard to see.
Quadratic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: quadratic reciprocity
In terms of the Legendre symbol, the law of quadratic reciprocity for positive odd primes states
Cubic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: cubic reciprocity
The law of cubic reciprocity for Eisenstein integers states that if α and β are primary (primes congruent to 2 mod 3) then
Quartic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: quartic reciprocity
In terms of the quartic residue symbol, the law of quartic reciprocity for Gaussian integers states that if π and θ are primary (congruent to 1 mod (1+i)3) Gaussian primes then
Octic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: Octic reciprocity
Eisenstein reciprocity[edit]
Suppose that ζ is an th root of unity for some odd prime. The power character is the power of ζ such that
for any prime ideal of Z[ζ]. It is extended to other ideals by multiplicativity. The Eisenstein reciprocity law states that
for a any rational integer coprime to and α any element of Z[ζ] that is coprime to a and and congruent to a rational integer modulo (1–ζ)2.
Kummer reciprocity[edit]
Suppose that ζ is an lth root of unity for some odd regular prime l. Since l is regular, we can extend the symbol {} to ideals in a unique way such that
where n is some integer prime to l such that pn is principal.
The Kummer reciprocity law states that
for p and q any distinct prime ideals of Z[ζ] other than (1–ζ).
Hilbert reciprocity[edit]
Main article: Hilbert symbol
In terms of the Hilbert symbol, Hilbert's reciprocity law for an algebraic number field states that
where the product is over all finite and infinite places. Over the rational numbers this is equivalent to the law of quadratic reciprocity. To see this take a and b to be distinct odd primes. Then Hilbert's law becomes But (p,q)p is equal to the Legendre symbol, (p,q) is 1 if one of p and q is positive and –1 otherwise, and (p,q)2 is (–1)(p–1)(q–1)/4. So for p and q positive odd primes Hilbert's law is the law of quadratic reciprocity.
Artin reciprocity[edit]
Main article: Artin reciprocity law
In the language of ideles, the Artin reciprocity law for a finite extension L/K states that the Artin map from the idele class group CK to the abelianization Gal(L/K)ab of the Galois group vanishes on NL/K(CL), and induces an isomorphism
Although it is not immediately obvious, the Artin reciprocity law easily implies all the previously discovered reciprocity laws, by applying it to suitable extensions L/K. For example, in the special case when K contains the nth roots of unity and L=K[a1/n] is a Kummer extension of K, the fact that the Artin map vanishes on NL/K(CL) implies Hilbert's reciprocity law for the Hilbert symbol.
Local reciprocity[edit]
Hasse introduced a local analogue of the Artin reciprocity law, called the local reciprocity law. One form of it states that for a finite abelian extension of L/K of local fields, the Artin map is an isomorphism from onto the Galois group.
Explicit reciprocity laws[edit]
In order to get a classical style reciprocity law from the Hilbert reciprocity law Π(a,b)p=1, one needs to know the values of (a,b)p for p dividing n. Explicit formulas for this are sometimes called explicit reciprocity laws.
Power reciprocity laws[edit]
Main article: Power reciprocity law
A power reciprocity law may be formulated as an analogue of the law of quadratic reciprocity in terms of the Hilbert symbols as[1]
Rational reciprocity laws[edit]
A rational reciprocity law is one stated in terms of rational integers without the use of roots of unity.
