This work presents a method to calculate AC losses in thin conductors such as the commercially available second generation superconducting wires through a multiscale meshing technique. The main idea is to use large aspect ratio elements to accurately simulate thin material layers. For a single thin superconductor, several standard test cases are simulated including transport current, externally applied magnetic field and a combination of both. The results are in good agreement with recently published numerical simulations and show even faster time to solution. A couple of examples involving several thin conductors in different circumstances are also shown.

The jam'r can store three trays of fruit (each earning 1 XP) and three jarfuls of honey (each earning 1 XP). It produces one jar of jam in 60 seconds if both ingredients are in place and there are no more than two finished jars on the output bench.
One jar of jam sells for 113 coins; profit 13 (after allowing for the sale prices of honey and fruit forgone): that's 2.60/h if you harvest the fruit as soon as it's ready. It's the most profitable berry jam, which may be why you have to wait until level 27 to be able to plant the berries.
If you find that bedtime is less than 5 hours away, you can plant:
- blueberries, which take only 3 hours to grow and when turned into jam produce 7 coins of profit, i.e. slightly fewer coins per hour for the same amount of work (and the same number of XP).
- clover, which grows in only 4 hours (earning 1.25 per hour if sold but 2.50 if fed to a cow) and will add to your honey supply if your beehive is operating to pollinate it;

Zend Framework 101: Zend_Log
Creating Your First Logger
To begin, I'll show you how to create a basic file-system logger. To achieve this we must instantiate the
Zend_Log class, then add a writer to this object. We will use a writer that writes log messages to the file system.
The class we use to write log messages to the file system is
Zend_Log_Writer_Stream. This class accepts the path where the log messages should be written to as the first argument to the constructor.
Listing 1 shows an example of creating the logger and adding the writer to it. You can either add the writer when instantiating
Zend_Log (such as
new Zend_Log(new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream(...))), or as shown in the following listing.
require_once('Zend/Log.php'); require_once('Zend/Log/Writer/Stream.php'); $logger = new Zend_Log(); $writer = new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream('sample.log'); $logger->addWriter($writer); $logger->log('sample message!', Zend_Log::INFO);
The above listing concludes by calling the log() method on the
Zend_Log object. This records a message to the log. Listing 2 shows an example of how the log file appears after this code is run.
$ cat sample.log 2009-04-11T14:47:20+09:00 INFO (6): sample message!
In the next section I'll cover the recording of events in greater detail.

Special Needs Registry
The Special Needs Registry allows residents with medical needs and organizations assisting those with social needs an opportunity to provide information to Fairfax County so that agencies can communicate emergency preparedness, response and recovery resources to our vulnerable, at risk and hard-to-reach residents.
The information collected will only be shared with Fairfax County agencies and partner agencies and organizations to improve their ability to serve and will not be available to the public.
Fairfax County defines a person with medical needs as a person who has a high-risk health condition that is either temporary or chronic who cannot manage for themselves in a shelter or evacuation center and will require assistance in performing the activities of daily living and/or will require care for and the monitoring of a health condition. For example: people with mobility impairment; people with condition which make them dependent on electricity; people with medical conditions that will require additional support during emergencies.
Medical Needs Brochure (PDF Format)
Social Needs refers to people considered to be vulnerable, at-risk, or hard to reach in the event of an emergency, but who are not medically dependent. These people may require targeted communication, transportation support, or sheltering in the event of an emergency. The nature of the assistance provided to people with social needs will be determined by the individual, the emergency and the resources available to the county.

Q.13 You must have seen tarnished copper vessels being cleaned with lemon or tamarind juice. Explain why these sour substances are effective in cleaning the vessels
Copper reacts with moist carbon dioxide in air to form copper carbonate and as a result, copper vessel loses its shiny brown surface forming a green layer of copper carbonate. The citric acid present in the lemon or tamarind neutralises the basis copper carbonate and dissolves the layer. That is why, tarnished copper vessels are cleaned with lemon or tamarind juice to give the surface of the copper vessel its characteristic lustre.

In this paper, we employ message passing algorithms over graphical models to jointly detect and decode symbols transmitted over large multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels with low density parity check (LDPC) coded bits. We adopt a factor graph based technique to integrate the detection and decoding operations. A Gaussian approximation of spatial interference is used for detection. This serves as a low complexity joint detection/decoding approach for large dimensional MIMO systems coded with LDPC codes of large block lengths. This joint processing achieves significantly better performance than the individual detection and decoding scheme.

The Top 3 Commercial Door Repairs
Commercial doors are essential to the overall safety and security of any commercial space. It is imperative that you monitor the condition of your commercial doors closely. If you allow your doors to fall into disrepair, you make it easier for your commercial space to fall victim to theft.
Many business owners have discovered that there are a few common problems that plague their commercial doors. Learn more about these problems so that you will be prepared to make timely repairs.
1. Hardware Damage
The average commercial door sees significantly more use during the course of a day than a residential door would. Employees and customers are constantly entering and exiting your commercial space, which can put your door's hardware at risk of sustaining damage.
Be sure that you conduct routine inspections of your door to check for loose handles, damaged springs, or bent hinges. Repairing these small hardware issues as soon as they arise will help you avoid a more serious malfunction in the future.
2. Bent Frame
Your commercial door frame supports the weight of the door. If this frame becomes bent, you may experience problems opening and closing the door smoothly. A bent door frame is a weak point that can make it easier for would-be criminals to enter your commercial space.
It's important that you address any frame damage to your commercial door with an alignment service. An experienced technician can correct the frame damage to restore proper function to your door.
This will enhance the overall accessibility of your commercial space for customers and employees and ensure that your space remains safe and secure.
3. Damaged Seal
Commercial doors are typically equipped with rubber seals. The primary role of these seals is to prevent any air from passing between the door and the frame. Damaged seals can have a negative impact on your company's bottom line.
Air transfer makes it difficult to regulate indoor temperatures, requiring you to rely more heavily on your building's HVAC system. You will likely see an increase in heating and cooling costs when your commercial door seals are damaged.
A technician can replace damaged seals to restore the airtight seal of your commercial door.
Proper maintenance and timely repairs are essential if you want to keep your commercial door functioning properly.
Keep an eye on the hardware, frame, and seals of your door so that you can invest in the repair of these elements before minor damage becomes a major problem. Contact a company that offers commercial door repair services to learn more.


TIME LAPSE: Veraison
veraison timelapse
Veraison, pronounced "ver-AY-zhun", is a French term that is used to describe the the onset of ripening, signaled by a change in color of the grapes. Veraison represents the transition from fruit growth to fruit ripening. Many changes in berry development happen during veraison, some very visible, as you can see in this time lapse video. Others are happening inside the grape berries, such as increased sugar levels.

How does one edit a Ziplink in a note?
I'm just learning how to use Ziplinks, but am running into a couple of frustrating problems:
 1. How do you edit a Ziplink that's in the text of a note?
 2. I'm trying to use "::" to append text to a new note created by a Ziplink, but when I open up the newly-created note, the $Text is empty.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Option-click to put the insertion point inside a link. Or use the arrow keys. Clicking a link in the normal way follows a link.
[[foo::bar]] should make a note name foo with a text "bar". It does for me! If it doesn't for you, contact support _EMAIL_ with the details.
Just for clarity this is a once-only thing that only and option when creating a ziplink. The result of using the ziplink notation is a normal Tinderbox text link. At this point, i.e. after using a ziplink if you want to add target text, navigate to the note and add the $Text there.
IOW, ziplinks describes a notation for rapid note creation/configuration rather than the link it then creates.
Thanks for the assist Mark.
I guess my editing question is: how can I open up an existing (blue) Ziplink so that I can see the brackets and any other operators, etc.? Option-click seems to only put me within the blue word/words, but doesn't reveal the underlying information…
You can't. The ziplink isn't "wrapped up". It's a shortcut for making a textlink in the usual way.
I think we are describing different things. I wasn't referring to syntax used within a ziplink during creation but the fact a new user might assume that having used a ziplink that they could return to the note later and edit the (now-text) link there assuming it had special (ziplink) properties.
Mark, Paul -
My question is about the syntax used within a Ziplink and if it's possible to 're-access' that syntax after the Ziplink has been created…but my understanding is that's not possible.
Correct. I can see this ambiguity and have made a mental note to add this to the documentation.

If I'm understanding correctly, let's say that I have a Ziplink [[foo::bar]] in the text of a note. I cannot edit that Ziplink to change it to [[foo|strong::bar]], rather as you point out, I would have to create a different/new Ziplink?
Thanks Mark. I really like Paul's post (in a different topic) about creating reading notes with Ziplinks. Really useful functionality. I'll keep at it.
Ignore my post; I deleted it. It's not relevant to this topic.
The idea of Ziplinks is that they're evaluated when you make them, and then they boom regular, first-class, normal Tinderbox links.
In this very specific case, where you want to change the anchor text for a correct link, you can make this change, but it doesn't have anything to do with ziplinks. To change the anchor text "foo" to "strong" you move the cursor to the blue link text "foo" and edit it like normal text to say "strong." This kind of editing of anchor text is possible for all Tinderbox links.
On a practical level, when I'm doing this, I usually start somewhere in the middle of the blue text, type what I want the new link anchor to be and then delete the extra text before and after what I've typed because I find it easier to manage. That's not necessary though. You can do it however makes sense for you.

^^^ Yes, this is exactly my approach as there's no method/UI (lest people assume otherwise) for editing anchor text. If we select the whole link and then type we are assuming the app can tell we are editing the anchor rather than replacing the anchor and link with something else. Now we have ziplinks deleting and starting over is more of an option. But, if doing that do make sure beforehand that you know to where the original link was pointed.
I've added this paragraph to the existing aTbRef article on ziplinks:
Note that ziplinks are a keyboard-centric method, albeit enhanced, of creating normal text links with normal link anchor text. Once the link is generated, the link anchor is no different from any other text link anchor, i.e. ziplinks do not create a special type of anchor text.
I'm open to a better wording. I can see that if not told otherwise a new user may simply assume ziplinks create some special type of anchor allowing re-use of the enhanced facilities (because no one told them otherwise!). I hope the above addresses that false assumption.
That makes sense to me!

How To Breed A Bay Roan Horse?
How do you breed a bay roan?
The roan gene must be inherited from at least one parent known to carry the roan gene, and the black points must be inherited from at least one parent that is black or has black points. Bay roans have a uniform mixture of white and red hairs on a large portion of the body and a darker head.
What is the difference between a bay and a roan?
Bays often have a reddish sheen, and when affected by the roan gene, the horse looks similar to a red roan. However, a bay roan will have black points, whereas a red roan will have dark red points.
How do you make a horse roan?
What do you breed to get a blue roan horse?
Blue Roan Horse Breeds These include many European draft breeds such as the Brabant, Italian Heavy Draft, Rhenish-German Cold-Blood, etc. Blue Roan horses are also quite common in North American breeds such as Paint horses, Paso Finos, the Quarter Horse, Standardbred, Mustang, and Tennessee Walking horse.

What is the rarest horse color?
Can you breed a roan to a roan?
I have heard, but this might be an old wives tale, that you shouldn't breed roan to roan or the offspring can die, its a fatal combination or something. This is very true. If you put two roans together that contain the O gene you have a high possibilty that the foal will die shortly after birth.
What does a bay roan look like at birth?
Bay foals exhibit slightly reddish coats with black-tipped ears, light coloring on their lower legs, and small black patches on the rear of their heels. They are born with dark skin and are frequently mistaken for a chestnut.
Do blue roan horses turn white?
Note that the head/face is darker than the body. This horse will not turn white, and will always retain black legs, mane, tail, and head.
How rare are blue roan horses?
Are blue roan horses rare? Blue roans are likely the rarest roan color. But no, they aren't rare, but they are definitely not as common as many other equine colors.
What does a roan horse look like?
Roan is a horse coat color pattern characterized by an even mixture of colored and white hairs on the body, while the head and "points"—lower legs, mane and tail—are mostly solid-colored. The silvering effect of mixed white and colored hairs can create coats that look bluish or pinkish.

What color looks good on a blue roan horse?
For the purpose of finding what colors you should wear with your horse, your horse will be in one of the following color groups: Black – black is universal and can wear any color. Brunette (Bay, Black, White, Gray, Blue Roan ) – these horses look good in bright jewel tones such as blue, purple, pink and red.
Does Blue horse exist?
Although no one has real evidence that blue horses exist, there are many tales of sightings across the region from legions of true believers. Legend has it that a horse called "Big Lex" turned blue from grazing in nourishing bluegrass pastures his entire life.
Is a palomino horse?
How do you get a blue roan calf?
The blue roan color in cattle is usually the result of breeding a black cow (or bull) to a white bull (or cow) and results in a wide variety of blue coloration depending on the ratio of black to white hairs. To get a solid blue calf you want to mate a solid colored (not spotted) animals.

Automating the Cure Process
Letters can be generated for Cure and Notification of Sales (NOS) events. Triggering letter generation through a button click initiates the business service method to call the cure letter generation. Administrators create the correspondence template and define rules before generating the cure letter and then they monitor accounts that meet cure conditions.
Administrators send cure letters to customers who are in default, typically these type of letters explain that their account is delinquent before initiating a vehicle repossession process. In addition to this type of generic letter, administrators can also send letters for notice of sale after repossessing a car from a customer. Administrators first create a correspondence template for these types of letters using Word. Next they add the template to the Correspondence Templates view and then associate the template to existing rules. To select the appropriate template and generate the letter, perform the procedures that follow.
To add correspondence templates
 1. Navigate to Administration - Document > Correspondence Templates view.
 2. In the Templates list, click New File.

Celtic robes were worn by followers of the goddess religions in ancient Wales and the British Isles. Druid priests still wear the long, hooded white robes that designate their order to Stonehenge Summer Solstice celebrations. Celtic robes that echo ancient times are simple to make.
- Skill level:
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- White hooded robe (plain)
- Contrasting trim
- 9 foot cording
- Green fabric paint or embroidery thread
Select a white robe, or one in a natural, organic shade. Ancient Celtic robes reflect personal qualities and are central to Druid identity. Consider the weight and texture of the fabric as well as how it fits---Druid priests considered the robes to be their skin.
Add fabric trim that contrasts with the robe or is associated with your favourite god or goddess. Sew the trim from the front bottom edge of the robe, up along the lapel, around the neck and down the opposite lapel to the bottom of the robe.
For a man, embroider or draw a green pentacle on the right sleeve or cuff. Pentacles display the degree of your Druid knowledge and become increasingly ornate with advanced knowledge.
Add a cord in a colour that matches or contrasts with the robe. In ancient times, Druid priests used a rolled cord, called Gwyddon Cord, to measure temples. This cord, used as a belt, is 9 feet long and has 5 knots. Each end is knotted, with a knot precisely in the middle and a knot exactly between each end and the middle knot.

The topic of this post is how to draw gold metal. Giving up the gold gel pen and making the gold illusion on your own is a challenge even for advanced illustrators. In this step by step tutorial, I will show you how to represent golden accessories and clothes in your fashion sketches without putting a lot of effort. Enjoy!
Step 1: Initial preparation
Draw the accessories and the garments you want to make look like they are made of gold. Try to have a clean sketch with no shading at this stage. Just neat outlines.
Step 2: Draw 3-Dimensional
Now it's time to just look at your drawing and think of volume. Close your eyes and imagine you were building the fashion figure out of clay. Mark the parts of the body that feel the closest to you with a very bright shade of yellow.
Leave the white of the paper in the center of these selections ( see the breast of the example illustration & the bracelet).
This technique is extremely useful to determine where to put the lights and the shadows in the cases when you don't have any specific source of light, so often seen in fashion photography.
Step 3: Building the light
Take a darker yellow shade and paint right next to the first layer.
Try to follow the outlines of the shape you are coloring. Notice how the light of the earring goes the same way as its shape.
Step 4: Drawing the gold base
Render all the rest of the shape with a light brownish color. You should blend gently the yellow with the brown shade, trying to leave the former as plain as possible. No perfectionism needed, just avoid entering too far in the yellows.
Step 5: Realistic gold
The essence of drawing realistic looking gold is in the shadows. Lay down a well-blended second layer of the brown shade. Put it in the places where the form feels further away from you. Use the technique described in Step 1 to guide you.
Step 6: Drawing golden shadows
Find a grey shade and add another layer of shadows to the gold. This time you may allow yourself to extend the shadows a bit. In order to obtain the high contrast that is so typical for golden items, place part of the gray tones close to the yellow lights.
Light tends to look even lighter when there is a strong shadow in neighborhood.
Step 7: Blend it all!
Take back the brownish color and blend the strong shadows. Metals are sleek and the blending will give you that sensation of metal.
Step 8: Optional step
This step is optional and depends on your personal preferences. If you would like to draw gold that is somehow warmer you can add touches of orange here and there. Remember to follow the volume of the figure when working with this color and avoid overworking it.
Understanding how to draw gold can take you to new creative ideas and great fashion designs. Unleash your imagination and have fun!

this is my investigation processed so far.could anyone pro have a look at my investigation to see if anything needs improving?
titile page: the effect of light intensity on the distribution of helice crassa.
Introduction: the ecological niche of Helice crassa: Helice crassa belongs to biological class Malacostraca(1). The helice crassa studied were found at Tohuna Torea estuary at the end of Riddel Road.they were usually found under the mud covered by the sea water,in dark damp conditions.so that they are not exposed to high light intensity.because they are prone to dessication.many adaptation features help them reduce the effect of dessication.these include:
1.helice crassa tend to move close to the dark place but move away from the light area. Because high light intensity is often associated with large amount of heat. –biology individual animal study helice crassa: mud crab Mary Melrose department of education Auckland 1988
2. Large pincers-this helps scoop up mud so that they can burrow to shelter from searing heat which is associated with high light intensity. the behaviour of two estuarine crab species by C.G..BEER, department of zoology,university of otago,new Zealand.(received by editior,April 15,1958)
3. the impermeable exoskeleton,strengthened with calcium carbonate,protects the crab from desiccation in air.
_URL_ htm#Helice
living under the mud often covered by the sea means cooler temperature,damp condition,low light intensity,im going to investigation the preferred light intensity of helice crassa which is the best light intensity which helps reduce the effect of dessication.
Aim: the purpose of this experiment is to find out wether or not the number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud changes with increasing light intensity.
Hypothesis: the number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud increases with increasing light intensity.
(reason:high light intensity is often associated with a large amount of heat, if an increasing number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud is found,then high light intensity would have an effect of the amount of dessication)
Null hypothesis: the number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud remains the same with increasing light intensity
(Reason: if high light intensity has no effect on the amount of desiccation then helice crassa will not show any responses to the increasing light intensity)
Equipment: 30 helice crassa.
3 ice cream containers
Paper to mark
Mud-6 cm deep(the same percentage of mud as well as sand)
Method: 1.go down the riddel road to collect 30 helice crassa.
2. Put mud (6 cm deep) into each ice cream container, the percentage of mud and sand remains constant in each ice cream container.
3.seperate 30 helice crassa into three groups with each group(10) put into each ice cream container.
3.cover the first ice cream container with a piece of wipe,then cover the second ice cream container with 2 pieces of wipe then the third ice cream container with 3 pieces of wipe.
4.measure the light intensity in each of the ice cream container.record light intensity in a table
5.after 5 minutes covered by the wipe, uncover it to count the number of helice crassa that has burrowed into the mud.
6.record the number of helice crassa burrowed into the mud against different light intensity.
according to the experiment with Helice crassa is looks well to me and the details too. you have te record all the changes and their etiology (crab's) and alos i think you have to read some more materials about physiology of crabs becsase they are different from other arthropods because the the chitina that they have allover their body. They stay in dark areas because they insticts sent them for protection.
I hope that i give an understanable answer.
Hi, I'm Karole, and I want to know what you mean by helice crassa is 'different from other arthropods because of the chitina'.
What is chitina? Do you mean chitin? And even so, don't all arthropods have it?
Also, is having chitin all over the body mean that the mud crabs have exoskeleton all over their body?
Is it a physiological adaptation? I'm looking for any physiological adaptations of helice crassa that reduces desiccation. By the way, I'm doing this research assignment for water content of the mud that helice crassa lives in.
im doing my research on the effects (on the weight of the helice crassa) of different salinities. i have searched everywhere but i cant find any general knowledge about the helice crassa and any adaptations of the crab related to the range of salinities and how it effects their weight, to help introduce my investigation. Any suggestions?

School of energy, power and mechanical engineering, North China Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China
The series capacitor compensation technique can improve the transmission capability of transmission system; however, it may cause subsynchronous resonance (SSR) which will seriously influence the safe operation of large turbo-generator shafts. Aiming at a series capacitor compensation transmission system, the transient torques of SSR is simulated in different compensation degrees and unit load levels. Based on the modified segmentation Prony algorithm (MSPA) proposed in this paper, the characteristic frequencies and damping parameters are identified and analysed. The MSPA, complex Morlet wavelet and time-frequency contour map are integrated and used in analysis of transient torques of SSR in time-frequency field. The results of study show that the transient torques develop towards divergence direction and the frequencies of SSR (converted to the rotor side) in negative damping area move towards into low frequency area with the increasing of the compensation degree. With the increasing of the power output, the torque values of each shaft section will increase, but the dominant oscillation mode will not change. The increasing of power output can make the damping effect slightly change and the trend of the change develops towards the direction that is not conducive to restrain SSR.


Blade Path and the Ideal Blade
Defining and studying an "ideal blade" has informed our blade innovation over the years and has led to the development of our most efficient blades: the Smoothie2 Vortex Edge and Fat2 blades.
The Typical Blade Path During the Drive
Contrary to how it might look, an oar blade does not travel in a continual arc through the water as represented in Figure 1. This would only be true if the boat were tied up to a dock. The typical path of the blade, as the boat moves past the point of entry, is the complex movement shown in Figure 2.
Figure 1: The assumed blade path.
Figure 2: What the blade path is typically.
Below, the blade path is illustrated by an image taken from an overhead video of an actual oar in the water.
We define this typical blade path as having four distinct phases:
 - Phase 1: Forward Blade Motion—The blade moves significantly forward, toward the finish line.
 - Phase 2: Outward Blade Motion—The blade moves outward, away from the boat.
 - Phase 3: Backward Blade Motion—The blade moves backward, toward the starting line.
 - Phase 4: Inward Blade Motion—The blade moves inward, toward the boat.
Having identified the typical blade path, we can now examine how a theoretical ideal blade would move and what this might tell us about how to best harness the rower's effort during the drive.
The Ideal Blade
We define the ideal blade as having:
 - Zero slip perpendicular to the blade surface.
 - No resistance to movement in line with the shaft; in other words, it would glide.
 - The ability to rotate in the water. We will define the point of rotation as the point where the blade and shaft join.
Developing a New Blade Path
Keeping in mind that boat movement influences blade path, and that blade movement is defined by the characteristics of the ideal blade, we plotted what the ideal blade path would be. We have assumed that the boat speed would be the same as for the typical path, so the position of the oarlock is the same as in each frame of the typical path diagram. Each new oar position was then plotted between the oarlock and the new blade position as defined by our ideal blade. See Figure 3.
Figure 3. The ideal blade path
In Figure 4 we have superimposed the ideal path (green) and the typical path (red) with the blades removed for clarity.
Observation 1: Shorter Outboard Length
Our first observation is the handle positions noted by the circle. It appears as though the ideal oar has not completed the stroke. To adjust for this we shortened the outboard length used with the ideal blade and re-plotted as before. This is illustrated in Figure 5.
Figure 4
Figure 5
Observation 2: Slower Rotation at Beginning of Drive
After superimposing the two blade paths, we noted that at the beginning of the drive, the ideal oar rotates more slowly than the typical oar and then speeds up in the second half of the drive.
To the rower, this means the ideal blade will feel heavier early in the drive and feel lighter after the oar reaches perpendicular. From a physiological standpoint, it makes sense to maximize blade efficiency at the same point of the stroke when the rower is using his or her large muscles to power the drive. From the perpendicular to the finish, only the upper body and arms are engaged, so it also makes sense that the load becomes lighter and handle speed increases in this phase of the drive.
Observation 3: Less Work Required to Move the Same Speed
Once the ideal oar was shortened, we were able to achieve the same catch and finish angles and the same amount of drive time as that of the oar in the typical blade path. The boat also moved the same distance, indicating that it moved at the same speed regardless of which oar was used. Because the outboard lever is shorter in the ideal blade path, the force on the handle is less, which means that less work is required to move the boat the same speed. This also means that if the same force is applied on the handle, the force on the end of the shorter oar will be greater. In other words, the rower will get more speed for equal effort.
Less effort, same speed
Equal effort, more speed
Observation 4: Less Slip
By observing blade movement during oar rotation, we noted that the ideal blade slips less. Note the image below. The slip pattern of the ideal blade is on the right. Of course, this is expected by definition of the "ideal blade."
We also see that the typical blade slips more during the first part of the drive and doesn't slip enough during the last part of the drive. The area shaded red indicates a backwatering condition where the part of the blade near the shaft produces some negative thrust, or drag. This is created by the combination of blade rotation and forward movement of the boat.
Typical Blade
Ideal Blade
Pursuing a Blade that Approaches the Theoretical Ideal
With an increased understanding of what would produce an efficient blade, we set off to design a new blade by targeting specific blade features.
 - Surface area—Increased surface areas tend to resist slippage perpendicular to the blade surface.
 - Curvature/hook—Flatter blades generate a heavier feel earlier in the drive, allowing for slower rotation.
 - Tip characteristics—Vortex generating features reduce slippage perpendicular to the blade surface.
 - Tip shape—Tapered blade edges create a force on the back of the blade, increase lift, and reduce slip, much like the delta wing effect in aeronautics.
We built these features into our Smoothie2 Vortex Edge and Fat2 blades, making them the most efficient blades we offer. Read more about how we conduct on water testing.

What information do I need to submit if damage has occured that involves repair work (building/property)?
 - You will need to submit a completed a Property Loss Notice
 along with:
 1. Invoices showing repair and/or replacement. ( NOTE: Invoices for repair must be as specific as possible in describing what repair work was done and what items were replaced in order to justify the expense.)
 2. For any labor charges the following information is needed for each person involved in the labor charges:
 1. Name
 2. Position
 3. Base pay (not including benefits, overhead, or supervisory/managerial labor)
 4. Hours worked
 3. A police/incident report if applicable.
What is the deductible amount for university insurance claims?
There is a $10,000.00 deductible for each claim.
Do I need to replace/repair the stolen or damaged property before a claim is filed?
Yes. The Division of Risk Management reimburses the university for replacement/repair cost of property losses. No claims can be filed until the lost/damaged items are replaced by the university.
Is it necessary to purchase the exact same item (model) as was stolen or damaged?
If it is at all possible to replace the stolen/damaged item with the same brand and model that was lost, you should do so. The state reimburses the university for replacement with the same model or nearest equivalent. In some cases it isn't possible to replace the item with the exact model due to discontinuation of some items. In those cases, you would need to find the nearest equivalent to the lost or damaged item(s). If you do choose to upgrade the item, instead of purchasing the same item or nearest equivalent, the Division of Risk Management will reimburse JMU for the cost of the item minus any cost for upgrading the item.

Update: Cialfo has rolled out an updated User Experience (UX). For a limited amount of time, clients will be able to switch from using the new UX and previous UX. This article will address both types of UX.
The Tasks and Assessments section is a powerful tool that allows counselors to store and share files/documents with students and enables task automations in Cialfo. You would have access to 3 folders.
New User Experience (UX)
Previous User Experience (UX)
 1. The school shared folder. The entire counseling team has access to files/tasks added here. Tasks created in this folder can be linked to grades or groups, thereby enabling automatic task assignment.
 2. Personal - Only the creator would have access to files/tasks added here.
 3. Cialfo - These are sample tasks created by Cialfo which you can use as a template. Before editing a task list under Cialfo, it is suggested to copy it to the school folder by clicking on the task list > Actions > Copy >School shared folder. This will ensure that you still have access to the original template in Cialfo folder for future use.
Difference between a Task list and Application Config
 1. Task List - A separate list of tasks and essays that students will receive once.
 2. Application Config - a set of tasks and essays that students receive inside every school application that meets the config's criteria. Application Configs can send tasks to all students, or to students applying to particular schools or countries. EG: You would have separate Application Configs for tasks and essays pertaining to (A) all colleges in the United States, (B) all colleges in Canada, or (C) all applications to Stanford University.
Creating a Task List
To Create a task click on the Add Resources button and from the drop down select Task List. It will then open a pop-up window which will require you to give your task list a name. This is more like a category under which you can add your individual tasks. Give your task list a name and click 'Create'.
Once you click 'Create' you get the option of adding a Task or Essay. Give your task or Essay a title. Select a due date (optional) and fill in any other required information. Visible to by default is set to everyone (counselors and students). You can change to staff only if you don't want it visible to students or set a future date for when the task should be visible to students. If you would like to share any files with the students, you can upload it under'student files' and if there are any internal files that only counselors should have access to, you can upload them under'staff only files'. Click here if you need to understand the difference between a Task and an Essay.
Assigning or Publishing a task list
Resources can be assigned to students automatically (by linking it to a grade or group) or manually (by importing or bulk-assigning it to any students you choose). Students added to the linked grade or group will automatically receive the latest version of the task list.
To assign the task list by grade tick the checkbox 'assign task list to grade' and then you can select all grades if you want the task list to be linked to all the grades or you can select the individual required grade. Make sure to click 'publish' for the task list to get assigned to the students.
Creating an Application Config
To Create an Application Config click on the Add Resources button and from the drop down select Application Config. It will then open a pop-up window which will require you to give your task list a name. This is more like a category under which you can add your individual tasks. Give your task list a name and click 'Create'. Creating the tasks will be similar to how to create a task list. The main difference is that Application Configs are linked to a student's application and these tasks will appear in the student's respective school's task list. You can set the criteria for the application config by selecting one of the options in Tasks will be added to these applications. For. eg. If you select the criteria as all applications, the tasks will appear under all the student's applications. Whereas if you select the criteria as Applications to one school and select Brown University, the tasks will only appear for students that add Brown University as their applying school. The screenshot below displays a scenario wherein the selection is Applications in Region - United States. So the tasks will appear under each of the student's US school.
Assigning or Publishing a Application Config
This works similar to assigning a task list as mentioned above. Do remember that these tasks will only appear if the student's application matches the selected criteria.
Archiving a Task List
Assume that you have created a task list but not happy with it and would not want to use it any more. At Cialfo we use the term 'Archive' instead of delete. Since, this allows us to restore the file if it was accidentally deleted. This needs to be done in 2 steps.
Step 1: This step is applicable only if you have assigned the task list to any students.
Click on the task list that you would like to delete. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the 'Added Students' section. Select all the students and click on the Archive Selected button.
Step 2: Scroll to the top of the task list page. Click on Actions button and then Archive.
Assigning existing tasks to the new students at the start of the school year
The video below explains how you can use an existing task list for the next school year too with just a few tweaks.

You are hereThe Piskies of Cornwall
The Piskies of Cornwall
There are a number of creatures particular to Cornish folklore, although their cousins can be found elsewhere in Britain under a different name and guise. One of these strains is the Piskie also known as a Pixie in other West Country counties.
The Piskie is a general name for a fairy race or tribe in Cornwall. In appearance they look like old men with wrinkled faces, and are small in stature with red hair. They dress in the colours of the earth especially green, using natural materials such as moss, grass and lichen.
Cornish Piskie: by Daniel ParkinsonCornish Piskie: by Daniel ParkinsonGenerally the piskies are seen as cheerful creatures with a prankish nature. They are said to be helpful but also mischievous, helping the elderly and infirm whilst sometimes leading the more able bodied traveller astray on the lonely moors. Many stories relate to travellers being led into the wild moorland to become hopelessly lost because of the Piskies.
In many ways the Piskies are similar to the Brownies being helpful but also mischievous in nature.
Often places of ancient worship such as stone circles and barrows were avoided as piskie haunts.
There are many legends attached to the origin of the piskies (and other fairies). Some people saw them as the souls of pagans who could not transcend to heaven, and they were also seen as the remnants of pagan gods, banished with the coming of Christianity. In tradition they are doomed to shrink in size until they disappear.
Another theory suggested they were the souls of babies who had not been Christened, a story championed by early clergymen, and one which has often been used to explain fairy origins.

Utah environmental legal requirements are generally found in three places:
Statutes are laws passed by the Utah Legislature and, usually, signed by the Governor. Utah statutes usually provide general guidance about control of pollutants and about how DEQ should implement a program. The activities of each division are governed by at least one statute. The work of the Division of Water Quality, for example, is governed by the Utah Water Quality Act, Utah Code Annotated Sec. 19-5-101 through 124. References to sections of Utah statutes will look like one of the following:
- Utah Code Annotated Sec. 19-2-114
- Utah Air Conservation Act Sec. 19-2-114
- Utah Air Conservation Act, Sec. 114
Utah environmental statutes may be found on the Utah State Legislature's Website.
Rules are laws created by agencies, using authority given to them by statutes. Rules are usually more specific than statutes. References to sections of Utah rules will look like one of the following:
- Utah Admin. Code R315-8-6
- Solid and Hazardous Waste Rules, R315-8-6
Utah environmental rules may be found on the Division of Administrative Rules Website.
To make rules, an agency must have authority under its governing statute and must follow the procedures in the Utah Rulemaking Act, found on the Utah State Legislature's Website.
Licenses and Permits
Licenses and permits contain requirements that bind licensees and permittees. These documents may sometimes be found online; any license or permit is also available for review at DEQ. If you'd like to review a license or permit, it is very helpful to call the agency before coming in.

We show that the type 2 degenerate multi-poly-Bernoulli polynomials equals a linear combination of the weighted degenerate Bernoulli polynomials and Stirling numbers of the first kind. Moreover, we provide an addition formula and a derivative formula. Furthermore, in a special case, we acquire a correlation between the type 2 degenerate multi-poly-Bernoulli numbers and degenerate Whitney numbers.

Wristwatch gives remote control of computer
October 10, 2001 | Source: New Scientist
A new high-tech watchstrap that gives its wearer remote control over a wearable computer has been demonstrated in Switzerland.The GestureWrist, developed by Jun Rekimoto of Sony's Computer Science Laboratory in Tokyo, Japan, uses sensors embedded into a normal watch strap. These track a wearer's arm movements and the opening and closing their hand, relaying this information to a computer kept somewhere on their person.
GestureWrist uses a tilt sensor beneath the wrist watch to measure directional movement and acceleration and "capacitance sensing" to detect different hand shapes, such as open and closed.

Page Object Model (POM)
Page Object Model (POM) in Test Automation
We got familiarized with TestCafe, an automation tool for web-based applications, in one of our earlier blogs. In this article we will see what Page Object Model (POM) is for TestCafe, its advantages and how to create a basic framework.
What is Page Object Model (POM)?
Page Object Model is a design pattern which is commonly used in Test Automation to enhance test maintenance and reduce code duplication. It helps in building an Object Repository for Web UI elements, which boosts the readability of your tests too.
In a Page Object Model, each page in the web application contains a corresponding Page Class which comprises the Web Elements and the Methods which operate on those Web Elements.
Page Object Model
Why do we need Page Object Model?
For better understanding of this, let us take the example of the home page of a web application, which has a menu bar leading to different modules with different features. Suppose a developer changes an element such as ID/NAME/CLASS, on this, which is being used in multiple test scripts. This leads to a condition where you need to remember to change the location in all the fields where it is being used. Updating the locators in a duplicated code can be a time consuming and a tedious job, and can be subject to omissions, which may lead to errors. This is one major reason why we use POM. It helps in making the code more readable, maintainable and reusable.
How to create POM Framework using TestCafe?
Implementing your own POM framework is quite easy now. Let us discuss bit-by-bit on how to implement your own POM using TestCafe. Here we are using Visual Studio Code to write scripts. You can download it by going to the following link.
Throughout this tutorial article, we will be using the demo website, "_URL_ as an example.
Let's get started
- Install Node – explained in the previous article _URL_
- Create a Project Folder and open the Project Folder in Visual Studio Code
1. Initialize project.json
In package.json file, we can store information about the project such as name, version, description, scripts, dependencies, git repository links, etc.
To initialize project.json file, type "npm init" command either in VS integrated terminal or any external terminal. It will prompt you to a set of questions about project, just fill it if required or just hit Enter. At the end, it will prompt – "Is this OK? (yes)". Type "yes".
This will create a project.json file inside your Project Folder. You can find the screenshots of the same below.
2. Install dependencies
The dependency in our project is TestCafe. Install your dependency locally to your project by executing the command "npm install testcafe".
This will create a node modules folder, which contains node modules with respect to TestCafe. You can see that the dependency of TestCafe with version will be added in package.json file.
3. Create a Folder "Page" and create a "LoginPage.js" file under it
4. Declare a Page Object Class in "LoginPage.js" file
This class will contain all the element locators and methods of Login Page. Hence name it as LoginPage.js.
5. Add Page elements to the Page Model
Go to "_URL_ right-click on email address text field and click on Inspect. Then Elements Panel will be displayed, and the element will be highlighted in the DOM. Mostly, an element can be uniquely identified by using its classname, id, value withText or xpaths. Now in this example, the unique locator to identify web element email address is "id = email". Hence you can use it as "emailId = Selector(_TAG_);"
Similarly, unique locator for other two elements are also found.
Now, you must be wondering what is this "Selector" that has been used in the above step.
Selector in TestCafe
A Selector is a function in TestCafe that identifies a webpage element in the test. Import the Selector constructor from the TestCafe module. With the help of Selector, you can store the web element in a variable and perform actions on these elements.
6. Create a Folder "Test", with a subfolder "login" and create "login_test.js" file under it
Under "Test" folder, test scripts related to each module should be separated by their module name. For example, in this case, login test cases will be included in "login_test.js", which is under login folder. Similarly, if there is a register module, then create a separate folder called "Register" under "Test" folder and write test script related to register module in "register_test.js" file. This ensures that the test cases are categorized with respect to the modules.
7. Write Test Script that uses Page Model elements
a. In the test file, import the page model instance from LoginPage.js. Then create an object of that page "const loginPage = new LoginPage()", and now you will be able to use locators or methods defined in LoginPage.js file by using "loginPage" object.
Declare a test fixture by using fixture function – you can specify the description of the test as "fixture 'TestCafe Framework'", URL of the webpage with keyword as ".page '_URL_ The metadata, initialization and clean-up code for tests can be included in the fixture using test hooks like beforeEach, afterEach etc.
b. To create a test, use keyword test(), where we can specify all TestCafe actions.
Each test() has its own description – in this case it is, "Login Test"
test('Login Test', async t => {
 //test code goes here
The "t" used in the above code is a test controller, you can use any name you want but the general convention is to use "t".
In the screenshot, you can see that we have used await t.typeText('Selector', 'text'); it means that we are asking the test controller to use typeText function.
Screenshot of how to import page model instance, create an object, declare a fixture and write your tests and actions
8. Add Actions to the Page Model, i.e., add common methods that is used by login_test.js file
LoginPage.js with login (email, password) function
In this case, Line 12, 13 and 14 constitute an operation that can be used in most of the test cases to log in to the application with different inputs. Hence, a login function is defined with email and password as parameters in LoginPage.js file.
The image below shows how to access or call "login" function from "login_test.js".
Line 11, Calling login function by passing parameters from Login_test.js
9. Create a config.js file
Example which demonstrates how to define config file
Line 8, 12 shows how to read data from config.js file
Configuration files are mainly used to store Global fields that are used throughout the tests or even database configuration details. It is mainly used to maintain project configuration data, database config, project settings etc. Each parameter in config file is stored in a key and value format, where each line has a single key-value pair.
10. Create a data folder to store data related to specific tests/pages
Create a new folder called "data" and create a new file under it and name it as "login.js". Files under data folder should contain test data that will be utilized by your login test scripts such as valid login credentials, invalid login credentials, success messages, error messages etc.
The main purpose of this is to avoid hard coded values. Data sets increases test coverage by performing testing with various inputs of valid and invalid data, with all the data easily maintained at a single location.
Line 21 and 23 shows the usage of test data in login_test.js
Login.js file should contain all the test data that will be used by your login test scripts.
11. Create a common helper function file to store functions used by all your test modules/pages
Create a folder and name it as "common" and create a file under it with name "helperFunction.js".
There may be functions which can be used by more than one test script. Thus, these methods are grouped together in a file called "helperFunction.js". The following images depict how the test script can access these common methods by importing them into the test file.
Define all the common functions used throughout your test
Line 4, 20, 21, 23 shows usage of common helper functions from login_test.js file
Done! You have successfully completed creating your own POM framework.
Your final folder structure should look something like this,
POM Summary
POM model approach makes test automation framework programmer friendly by keeping tests and the element locators separate. This keeps the code clean and understandable. The result is that test cases can easily be implemented, updated, maintained and reused.
We hope, with this information you will be able to easily create your own POM framework for your project. Stay tuned for more. Happy testing!!!

Where is it?
Lundys Lane is an unincorporated area along Route 18 in Elk Creek Township, east of Albion and south of Cranesville.
What's the story?
The decisive Battle of Lake Erie -- famously led by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry in 1813 during the War of 1812 -- is well-known throughout the region. But lesser-known is one of the bloodiest land battles of the war, waged on July 25, 1814, at Lundy's Lane (sometimes referred to as "Lundy" or "Lundys") in Ontario. It was during this battle near Niagara Falls, between the evenly matched British and American forces, that 1,731 soldiers were killed or wounded, according to online encyclopedia Brittanica.com.
It was this battle, too, that received a local tribute. A few decades after the clash -- in a part of Elk Creek Township that is nearly 140 miles by land from the battle site -- a new post office south of Cranesville was built to accommodate a growing population. Maj. James Fleming, a veteran of the War of 1812 and a local resident, is credited with naming that area Lundys Lane.

text: The electronic properties of quasicrystals containing transition-metals are studied employing a simple double-chain model within the tight-binding approximation. We show that, under determined conditions, spectral fine structures are the result of competing localizedand extended-like states, which are not observed in traditional one-dimensional aperiodic models. These spectral features can explain the experimentally observed transport properties. From this point of view this double-chain model mimics the behavior of electrons in realistic icosahedral quasicrystals. Moreover, in view of the electronic transport, the relationship between quasicrystals and related amorphous phases is explained in a natural way. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Background: There is a recognized need to deliver oral health information to people during clinical encounters to enable them to develop personal skills in managing their own oral health. Traditional approaches to individual oral health education have been shown to be largely ineffective and new approaches are required to address personal motivations for preventive behaviour. This systematic review aims to identify and assess the effectiveness of behaviour models as a basis for individual oral health promotion.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched for articles evaluating the effectiveness of health behaviour models in oral and general health between 2000 and 2007. Eighty-nine studies were retrieved and data were extracted from the 32 studies that met the inclusion criteria.
Results: Thirty-two studies were identified in the fields of clinical prevention and health education, motivational interviewing (MI), counselling, and models based interventions. MI interventions were found to be the most effective method for altering health behaviours in a clinical setting.
Conclusions: There is a need to develop an effective model for chairside oral health promotion that incorporates this evidence and allows oral health professionals to focus more on the underlying social determinants of oral disease during the clinical encounter. There is potential to further develop the MI approach within the oral health field.

Understanding Weight Normalized Deep Neural Networks with Rectified Linear Units
Bibtex »Metadata »Paper »Reviews »Supplemental »
Yixi Xu, Xiao Wang
This paper presents a general framework for norm-based capacity control for $L_{p,q}$ weight normalized deep neural networks. We establish the upper bound on the Rademacher complexities of this family. With an $L_{p,q}$ normalization where $q\le p^*$ and $1/p+1/p^{*}=1$, we discuss properties of a width-independent capacity control, which only depends on the depth by a square root term. We further analyze the approximation properties of $L_{p,q}$ weight normalized deep neural networks. In particular, for an $L_{1,\infty}$ weight normalized network, the approximation error can be controlled by the $L_1$ norm of the output layer, and the corresponding generalization error only depends on the architecture by the square root of the depth.


A pianist from the UK played classical music to soothe hungry monkeys in Thailand - watch the video
Tuesday, 24th November 2020, 4:03 pm
Updated Tuesday, 24th November 2020, 4:05 pm
Coronavirus restrictions around the globe have resulted in places usually packed with people being left deserted, especially those frequented by tourists.
The effect of no regular visitors has been seen in Lopburi, Thailand, where wild macaque monkeys are normally fed by those visiting the province, usually at the ancient site of Phra Prang Sam Yod - aptly known as Monkey Temple.
But one local human resident has found a way to soothe the hunger of the crab-eating macaques - also known as long-tailed macaques.
Raising awareness of the hunger of the macaques
UK born pianist, Paul Barton, who now lives in Thailand, has been playing the piano to the monkeys as a way of soothing them from their hunger.
He said, "It's possible that the music can play a part of the rehabilitation process."
The pianist has been playing Greensleeves, Beethoven's Fur Elise, and Michael Nyman's Diary of Love to the monkeys - some of which climb on his head as he plays.
Mr Barton said he hoped his concert would raise awareness about the monkeys' hunger during the pandemic, adding, "We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly. And when they eat properly they will be calmer and will not be aggressive."
Prior to playing music to monkeys, the pianist played the likes of Bach, Schubert, Chopin and Beethoven to elephants at retirement sanctuaries for more than a decade.
How long have the monkeys been in Lopburi?
Phra Prang Sam Yod was constructed in the 13th century in a heavily forested area, and when the city continued to gradually expand around the temple, the monkeys remained.
It's believed that locals didn't mind the presence of the monkeys, as the macaques were believed to be living representatives of the Hindu god, Hanuman, and seen as being symbolic of good luck.
However, their population has continued to grow, with it calculated that, as of the end of September this year, there are over 9,000 macaques in the province of Lopburi.


How to find the name of the current formfield
Article contributed by Astrid Zeelenberg
If you need to know which formfield the user tabbed out of in a macro you're using as on-exit macro you need to take into account that you can't always simply use the command Selection.Formfields(1).Name. This line won't work with a textformfield although it works with checkboxes and dropdowns.
If you need code to find out which formfield was tabbed out of, that works with every type of formfield, use:
If Selection.FormFields.Count = 1 Then
 'No textbox but a checkor listbox
 MsgBox Selection.FormFields(1).Name
ElseIf Selection.FormFields.Count = 0 And Selection.Bookmarks.Count > 0 Then
 MsgBox Selection.Bookmarks(Selection.Bookmarks.Count).Name

How are franchise territories defined?
Franchisors define trading territories using a variety of criteria, but let's look first at how they should be calculated.
An established business will be able to assess its historical performance to work out what its market share has been, given an area containing a certain number of customers for the product or service. Bear in mind such customers could be defined simply by total population, population of a certain age profile, number of owner-occupied homes of a certain type, total number of small businesses, number of a particular type of business, or even number of households with gardens, young children or pets.
Once the business has worked out how many potential customers are needed to enable a franchisee to meet its targets, it knows how many potential territories there are in the country.
It's then a question of defining the boundaries of these territories, and this is often best done by using postcodes, as it is possible to acquire data that outlines how many of a certain type of customer exists in a particular postcode. Add together enough postcodes to get the desired number in a territory, then repeat the exercise however many times is necessary to map out the entire country, though note that circumstances change and the method should be kept under regular review.
Less sophisticated franchisors have been known to simply rely on county boundaries, local authority regions or Yellow Pages areas, but these tend to produce areas of unequal potential.

RACI matrix roles and responsibilities
The RACI matrix clarifies responsibilities and ensures that all project tasks have someone assigned to do them. It is created before commencement of any project, and updated as needed throughout a project. The matrix helps identify where a project will fall short on resources before work begins and highlights key decision points along the way.
 - Consulted: People or stakeholders who need to give input before the work can be done and signed-off on. These people are "in the loop" and are active participants throughout the project.
 - Informed: People or stakeholders who need to be kept "in the picture." They need updates on progress or decisions, but they do not need to be formally consulted, nor do they contribute directly to the task or decision.

All students doing any nationally recognised training, need to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). The Unique Student Identifier or USI is a reference number made up of 10 numbers and letters that:
- Creates a secure online record of your recognised training and qualifications gained in Australia, even from different training organisations
- Will give you access to your training records and transcripts
- Can be accessed online, anytime and anywhere
- Is free and easy to create and stays with you for life
Your USI must be provided to and verified by MPAQ before a student can be issued with, or receive, a statement of attainment.
If you already have a USI, this must be provided to MPAQ during enrolment, upon completing the enrolment form, consent is requested for MPAQ to apply for a USI on your behalf. If a USI is created by MPAQ on your behalf you will be notified of this via email or SMS from the USI Registry.
MPAQ requires one of the following documents below to create and/or verify your USI:
- Australian Driver's Licence
- Australian Passport
- Australian Visa (with non-Australian passport)
- Australian Birth Certificate
If you don't have one of the above documents you can use one of the following:
- Medicare Card
- Certificate of Registration by Descent
- Citizenship Certificate
The personal details on the enrolment form must match your Identification. When creating the USI, it will be created as per the information displayed on the Identification. If the details on the enrolment form and USI do not match MPAQ will be unable to verify the USI. MPAQ is not able to Issue your qualification or certificate without your USI being verified first.
The following details are used to create your USI:
- First Name and Family Name
- Date of Birth
- Country of Birth
- Town/City of Birth
- Mobile Number and/or email address.

Gaurab Aryal (The Australian National University) and Maria F. Gabrielli (CONICET, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo) are Testing for Collusion in Asymmetric First-Price Auctions.
ABSTRACT: This paper proposes fully nonparametric tests to detect possible collusion in first-price procurement (auctions). The aim of the tests is to detect possible collusion before knowing whether or not bidders are colluding. Thus we do not rely on data on anti-competitive hearing, and in that sense is 'ex-ante'. We propose a two steps (model selection) procedure: First, we use a reduced form test of independence and symmetry to shortlist bidders whose bidding behavior is at-odds with competitive bidding, and Second, the recovered (latent) cost for these bidders must be higher under collusion than under competition, because collusion dwarfs competition, hence detecting collusion boils down to testing if the estimated cost distribution under collusion first order stochastically dominates that under competition. We propose rank based and Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) tests. We implement the tests for Highway Procurement data in California and conclude that there is no evidence of collusion even though the reduced form test supports collusion.
