The Battle River Watershed
The Battle River Watershed is a large area of land covering most of east-central Alberta that drains into the Battle River. The Battle River itself is a modest prairie-fed (as opposed to glacier-fed) river. There is increasing pressure on the Battle River's water supply.
A watershed (or basin) is the area of land that catches snow and rain and drains it to a larger body of water, such as a marsh, lake, stream or river. Topography defines the entire watershed, as it shapes the course and speed of water moving through the area.
The Battle Watershed covers approximately 30,000 square kilometres (17,667 square miles). 83% of this area is within Alberta; the remainder is in Saskatchewan.
Read our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about the watershed!
There are seven major river basins (watersheds) in Alberta: the Peace/Slave, Athabasca, Hay, North Saskatchewan, South Saskatchewan, Beaver and Milk.
The Battle River Watershed is a sub-basin of the North Saskatchewan Watershed.
The North Saskatchewan River Basin covers about 80,000 square km of the province. Major centers within the basin include Rocky Mountain House, Edmonton, and Fort Saskatchewan. The basin begins in the icefields of Banff and Jasper National Parks and generally flows in an easterly direction towards the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. The Brazeau, Nordegg, Ram, Clearwater, Sturgeon and Vermillion Rivers all flow into the North Saskatchewan River. The Battle River also forms part of the basin and joins with the North Saskatchewan River at North Battleford, Saskatchewan.

overviewCryptocoryne crispatula, also known as the Balansae plant, has very long, thin leaves with ruffled edges and relatively short stems. This plant is amphibious, and when grown out of the water, the leaves will shorten, lose the ruffle, and take on a rounded appearance.
The Balansae plant requires a moderate amount of attention to maintain, but is rather flexible in the location of the aquarium where it can be incorporated. Plant the Balansae plant in the background, or sides of the aquarium, or use it as a focal point in the larger aquarium. It can also be used as a mid-ground plant in the smaller aquarium, by removing the mature leaves, in order to keep the plant short. It requires a moderate level of light of 2 to 3 watts per gallon provided by full spectrum (5000-7000K) bulbs.
Reproduction within this species is by adventitious plants, or by seed. Allow the new plant to form its own leaves prior to separating it from the mother plant, and relocating it in the aquarium.
The Balansae plant benefits from regular additions of CO2, iron rich fertilizers, and trace elements.

ones. Some full conservatory oboes have finger holes covered with rings rather than plates ("open-holed"), and most of the professional models have at least the right hand third key open-holed. Professional oboes used in the UK frequently feature conservatoire system combined with a thumb plate. With this type of mechanism the oboist has the best of both worlds as far as the convenience of fingerings is concerned.
Other members of the oboe family
The oboe has several siblings. The most widely known today is the cor anglais
, or English horn, the tenor (or alto) member of the family. A transposing instrument
; it is pitched in F, a perfect fifth lower than the oboe. The oboe d'amore
, the alto (or mezzo-soprano) member of the family, is pitched in A, a minor third lower than the oboe. J.S. Bach
made extensive use of both the oboe d'amore as well as the taille
and oboe da caccia
, Baroque antecedents of the cor anglais. Even less common is the bass oboe
(also called baritone oboe), which sounds one octave lower than the oboe. Delius
both scored for the instrument. Similar to the bass oboe is the more powerful heckelphone
, which has a wider bore and larger tone than the bass oboe. Only 165 heckelphones have ever been made, and competent players are hard to find. The least common of all are the musette (also called oboe musette or piccolo oboe
), the sopranino member of the family (it is usually pitched in E-flat or F above the oboe), and the contrabass oboe
(typically pitched in C, two octaves deeper than the standard oboe).
Keyless folk versions of the oboe (most descended from the shawm) are found throughout Europe. These include the musette (France) and bombarde (Brittany), the piffaro and ciaramella (Italy), and the xirimia or chirimia (Spain). Many of these are played in tandem with local forms of bagpipe, particularly with the Italian zampogna. Similar oboe-like instruments, most believed to derive from Middle Eastern models, are also found throughout Asia as well as in North Africa.

Use outside of classical music
While the oboe is rarely used in musical genres other than Western classical, there have been a few notable exceptions.
Traditional and folk music
Although keyless folk oboes are still used in many European folk music traditions, the modern oboe has been little used in folk music. One exception was Derek Bell
for the Irish
group The Chieftains
, who used the instrument in some performances and recordings. The United States contra dance
band Wild Asparagus
, based in western Massachusetts
, also uses the oboe, played by David Cantieni. The folk musician Paul Sartin
plays the oboe in several English folk bands including Faustus
The bagpipe player and bagpipe maker Jonathan Shorland
plays the oboe with the bands Primeaval
, and formerly played with Fernhill
, which play traditional British Isles music.
Although the oboe has never been featured prominently in jazz
music, some early bands, most notably that of Paul Whiteman
, included it for coloristic purposes. The multi-instrumentalist Garvin Bushell
(_PHONE_) played the oboe in jazz bands as early as 1924 and used the instrument throughout his career, eventually recording with John Coltrane
in 1961. Gil Evans
scored for the instrument in his famous Miles Davis
collaboration Sketches of Spain
. Though primarily a tenor saxophone
player, Yusef Lateef
was among the first (in 1963) to use the oboe as a solo instrument in modern jazz performances and recordings. Composer and double bassist Charles Mingus
gave the oboe a brief but prominent role (played by Dick Hafer
) in his composition "I.X. Love" on the 1963 album Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus
. Marshall Allen
occasionally played an oboe with Sun Ra
With the birth of Jazz fusion in the late 1960s, and its continuous development through the following decade, the oboe started to fulfil a more important role in composition, replacing on some occasions the saxophone as the focal point. The oboe was used with great success by the Welsh multi-instrumentalist Karl Jenkins in his work with the groups Nucleus and Soft Machine, and by the American woodwind player Paul McCandless, co-founder of the Paul Winter Consort and later Oregon. Romeo Penque also played the oboe on Roland Kirk's 1975 album Return of

Dogs Moscow Subway Creature Feature
Creature Feature Archives
Russian scientists say that Moscow stray dogs became much smarter. The four legged oldest human's friends demonstrate real smartness such as riding the Moscow metro every morning to get from their suburban places of living to the fat regions of Moscow center. Once they arrive to the downtown they demonstrate different new, previously unseen for the dog skills. Those skills can include "the hunt for shawarma" for example, the popular among Muscovites eastern cuisine dish. This hunt scene can be seen as this:
Regular Moscow busy street with some small food kiosks. A middle-aged man buys himself a piece of hot fast food and walks aside chewing it without a rush. Then just in a second he jumps up frightened - some doggy has sneaked up on him and barked out loudly. His tasty snack falls out from his hands down to the ground and the dog gets it. Just ten minutes later, on the same place, the teen youngster loses his dinner in exactly the same manner. The modern Russian dogs are on their urban hunt.
"This method of ambushing people from their back is widely exercised by Moscow dogs", saying A. Poiarkov, working in Ecology and Evolution Institute of Moscow. "The main point here is to define who would drop the food scared and who won't, but the dogs are great psychologists they can do it better than us".
Moscow ecologists think that dogs started acquiring this habits in 1990s, when the Soviet Union collapsed and Moscow has fell into the hands of new class of Russian capitalists. They understood the true value of the downtown realty underestimated by previous Communist owners and became removing all the industrial complexes Moscow had in its centre to its outskirts. Those places were used by homeless dogs as a shelter often, so the dogs had to move together with their houses, so they had to learn how to travel Moscow subway - first to get to the centre in the morning then back home in the evening, just as us people.
"Waiting for the right train"
The commercial revolution of Moscow made their usual feeding places like trash bins out of direct reach, so they had to get to know new ways of getting their piece of food. That's how appeared those "Shawarma hunts". Sometimes though they use more gentle methods. Young girl sits on the bench to eat her hot dog - a big cute looking dog appears from the surrounding bushes and puts her head on her knees. The girl can't help herself sharing the hotdog with a dog.
Among some more amazing skill those Moscow dogs are the ability not to miss their stop while going on the subway train. Biologists say dogs have very nice sense of time which helps them not to miss their destination. Another skill they have is to cross the road on the green traffic light. "They don't react on color, but on the picture they see on the traffic light", Moscow scientist tells. Also they choose often the last or the first metro car - those are less crowded usually.
It's funny but the ecologists studying Moscow stray dogs also tell the dogs don't miss a chance to get some play while on their travel in the subway. They are fond of jumping in the train just seconds before the doors shut closed risking their tails be jammed. "They do it for fun, just they have enough food", they conclude.
"Traveling first class, compared to this human"
"Just a regular member of busy day underground stream"

text: [en] OBJECTIVE: To assess morphologic and metabolic abnormalities in dogs with early left ventricular dysfunction (ELVD) induced by rapid right ventricular pacing (RRVP). ANIMALS: 7 Beagles. PROCEDURE: Plasma carnitine concentrations were measured before and after development of ELVD induced by RRVP. At the same times, transvenous endomyocardial biopsy was performed, and specimens were submitted for determination of myocardial carnitine concentrations and histologic, morphometric, and ultrastructural examination. RESULTS: In 4 dogs in which baseline plasma total carnitine concentration was normal, RRVP induced a decrease in myocardial total and free carnitine concentrations and an increase in myocardial esterified carnitine concentration. In 3 dogs in which baseline plasma total carnitine concentration was low, plasma and myocardial carnitine concentrations were unchanged after pacing. Structural changes associated with pacing included perinuclear vacuolization in 3 dogs. Morphometric analyses indicated there was a decrease in myofiber cross-sectional diameter and area following pacing. Electron microscopy revealed changes in myofibrils and mitochondria following pacing. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results indicated that moderate to severe alterations in myocyte cytoarchitecture are present in dogs with ELVD induced by RRVP and that in dogs with normal plasma carnitine concentrations, myocardial carnitine deficiency may be a biochemical marker of ELVD. Results also indicated that transvenous endomyocardial biopsy can be used to evaluate biochemical and structural myocardial changes in dogs with cardiac disease.

Gather churn prediction insights with the Streamlit app¶
This app serves as an example of how to present the drivers and predictions of your Datarobot model using a Churn prediction use case. Building a churn predictor app using Streamlit and DataRobot is a great way to leverage the power of machine learning to improve customer retention.
The first step in building a churn prediction model is to collect and prepare your data. This typically involves gathering data on your customers' behavior, demographics, and usage patterns. Once you have your data, you can upload it to DataRobot and let the platform do the rest. After training, DataRobot provides detailed insights into the model's performance, including feature importance, model validation, and accuracy metrics.
Once you have a model that you're satisfied with, you can generate predictions on new data using DataRobot's prediction API. This workflow assumes that you have already generated these predictions and saved them as a CSV file.
To create a Streamlit app for churn prediction, you will need to import the necessary libraries, including Pandas, NumPy, Streamlit, Plotly, and PIL. You can then read in your prediction data and set up your Streamlit app's page configuration.
The app itself should allow users to specify criteria for viewing churn scores and top churn reasons. You can accomplish this using sliders and other interactive elements.
A workflow of this process for building a Streamlit app using DataRobot predictions can be found in the churn Streamlit app GitHub repository. This workflow can be adapted to present insights from other classification or regression models built in DataRobot.

A business exists to create value by providing a solution to a problem that people have. There are a few reasons why people pay for products and services to solve their problems, including:
- They don't want to solve their problem on their own.
- They can't afford to solve their problem on their own.
- They don't have the time to solve their problem on their own.
As a business owner, you create value by bringing people and resources together to solve the problems people have. This concept is something many business owners overlook until they get to a point where they need to understand why their company isn't producing the results they want. To build a valuable business, you must spend time understanding why your customers use your business. What is the specific problem or problems your business is solving for them? The more detailed your answers are, the more opportunities you will find to create value.Read more: How business owners create value

It says women, members of the Air Force and older people (ages 30 and up) were more likely to report reactions than men, members of the other services or people younger than 30.
Women were more likely to report minor, local soreness and reactions. But men were more likely to report fatigue and joint pain - which surprised the scientists because women are normally more likely to have joint pain than men under normal circumstances.
The CDC has a more thorough evaluation of this issue under way, one of six studies that look in depth at possible problems resulting from the anthrax vaccine, said Michael M. McNeil, the agency's team leader for anthrax safety. He said he didn't know when the study would be done.
The validity of VAERS data to help establish the safety of a vaccine depends greatly on how effectively doctors and patients report the adverse events that follow vaccinations. Studies have found that only a small part of even legitimate problems are reported.
A study for the CDC, for instance, found that of 71 potentially serious adverse events reported by the civilians who took the vaccine after the 2001 anthrax-letter scares, only five came from VAERS reports. Other studies of VAERS data found that only about 1 percent of adverse reactions are ever reported, no matter which vaccine is involved.
The Daily Press found that during _PHONE_, a Defense Department database counted 20,765 hospitalizations of troops after they'd received anthrax vaccinations. However, like VAERS, this was a temporal relationship - not necessarily cause and effect. A panel of civilian researchers reviewed that data and said it was unlikely that the vaccine caused significant health problems.
David Geier has written and published more than 40 articles involving VAERS data in peer-reviewed science and medicine journals. He says panels such as the expert committee have inherent bias because of the subjectivity of analyzing events and trying to decide which ones are related to the vaccine and which are not. When scientists are trying to figure out whether there's an unknown phenomenon resulting from vaccinations, they shouldn't be letting that kind of personal bias come into play, he and others say.
Geier and his father - Mark Geier, who's been involved in vaccine research and development for more than 30 years and was on the staff at the National Institutes of Health in the 1970s - did a statistical analysis of VAERS data on anthrax. They then compared it with other vaccines.
They focused on complaints about gastrointestinal problems and joint pain because both are thought to be indicators of autoimmune reactions, which can have severe long-term health effects. Troops afflicted with the illnesses typical of Persian Gulf War veterans have frequently been diagnosed with symptoms of autoimmune disorders, as have many who've complained of health problems after anthrax vaccinations.
The Geiers found that there were higher rates of gastrointestinal reactions after the anthrax vaccine than for any other vaccine normally given to adults.
They also found that anthrax vaccinations were followed by higher rates of complaints about joint pain and soreness than the hepatitis A vaccine or the tetanus/diphtheria vaccine - vaccines they said are about average for reactions among all vaccines. Anthrax had a rate six times that of hepatitis A.
The Geiers caution that their findings should be cause to examine the safety of the vaccine further. They say the findings shouldn't become evidence that the shot isn't "safe" or that it shouldn't be given to protect troops where anthrax might become a weapon.
Studies involving workers at Fort Detrick, Md., a research center for military biological warfare. (_URL_
Workers at Fort Detrick take many vaccines to protect their general health and as a defense against the chemicals and other substances that they work with.
Several studies of those workers, dating to 1958, have been done to determine whether exposure to many vaccines over a lifetime might affect human health. In each study, the researchers found "no known long-term patterns of side effects from the anthrax vaccine," the Defense Department says. But there are also many flaws in these studies, other people say.
For the earliest of these studies, spanning 1956 to 1971, researchers attempted to follow the health of 99 workers. But only 77 were available when 25 years had passed, and only 25 of them had received anthrax vaccinations - making for a very small sample. If those who died or those who declined to provide information are counted, there might be a statistically significant number with problems from the vaccines, skeptics point out.
In the latest version of the studies, published in 2004, researchers picked volunteers from a group of former workers who participated in social events involving former Fort Detrick employees, a type of "alumni" group.
When questioned, former workers "tended to characterize themselves as somewhat less healthy" than a similar group of people who didn't work at Fort Detrick. Reports of "fatigue" - and the prevalence of high levels of monoclonal proteins in the blood of a fifth of the former workers - were the only significant findings, the researchers concluded. (A monoclonal protein is an antibody, or part of an antibody, found in unusually large amounts in the blood or urine of people with multiple myeloma and other types of plasma cell tumors. It's also called an "M protein.")
They said the presence of the proteins was worth further study. They also said it was likely that these workers had a blood condition known as MGUS, which has been linked to multiple myeloma - a rare form of cancer - and other illnesses. The causes of MGUS and multiple myeloma are unknown. About 20 percent to 30 percent of people with MGUS get multiple myeloma, which usually fatal within three few years.

I learned the following trick for memorizing the value of e from my colleague, Gene White. It never fails to impress calculus students (given a wide enough definition of "impress").
Start by carefully looking at this picture:
That's a 20 dollar bill, so memorize "2″ and put down the decimal point.
The picture on the bill is of Andrew Jackson. He was our seventh President, so put a "7″ after the decimal point to get 2.7.
Jackson was elected in 1828, so put down "1828″ next. Since there's a 2 in front of the decimal place, put "1828″ a second time. We're now up to 2.718281828.
Now look at the red square over Jackson's face. The diagonal creates two congruent right triangles with angle measures 45, 90, and 45. So, add on 459045 to get 2.718281828459045. And that's e to 15 places.
I'm open to suggestions on how to memorize more of the digits.

Acute Treatment Outcomes and Family Functioning of Children and Adolescents Diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa
Hetrick, Maryann O.
MetadataShow full item record
Recent studies have suggested that there is a relationship between treatment outcomes and baseline factors related to family functioning and specific eating disorder symptoms. However, these relationships have not been studied extensively within a pediatric population hospitalized for treatment. Therefore, it is unknown whether these relationships exist within an acutely ill population and whether these baseline characteristics improve significantly immediately following acute hospitalization. Given these limitations, the aims of the present study were to identify aspects of family functioning and eating cognitions and attitudes at admission that predict outcome at discharge, and evaluate what aspects of family functioning and eating cognitions and attitudes improve during an acute treatment period. The sample consisted of 41 patients diagnosed with anorexia nervosa or eating disorder not otherwise specified between the ages of 10 and 17 years. At admission, all patients were administered a structured clinical interview to obtain valid psychiatric diagnoses. Additionally, patients completed self-report measures of eating cognitions, eating attitudes, and family functioning; while parents completed a self-report measure of family functioning. Families also participated in a standardized clinician-rated observational measure of family functioning. All measures were re-administered at discharge, and the patient's body mass index (BMI) at admission and discharge were obtained from the medical record. The attrition rate from intake to discharge for this study was 26.8%. Overall, it appeared that parents and patients perceived their families to be healthy at intake, with little improvements noted over the course of treatment. However, standardized observations characterized these families as being affectively avoidant. Additionally, parental perception of adaptive family functioning at intake was predictive of outcome based upon the unit psychiatrist's assessment, and patient perception of healthy familial Expressiveness at intake was predictive of outcome based upon pathological eating attitudes. BMI and eating attitudes based upon eating behavior during treatment improved significantly over the course of treatment. However, patients continued to endorse unhealthy eating cognitions at discharge. These results suggest that weight restoration and pathological eating behavior are the first symptoms to improve during an aggressive treatment period, and psychological symptoms may require a longer period of treatment to remit.

As promised, I wanted to do a little feature on the Sandhill Cranes we met on our trip to George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. My friends – both of whom had been to the sanctuary before, and thus knew what awaited us – didn't tell me about the cranes. Instead, they left the presence of these crazy critters as a little surprise for me.
As I've mentioned before, I'm not the world's most patient or observant birder, but you positively can't miss these guys. They are enormous (about the size of a Great Blue Heron) and make a noise kind of like you'd imagine a pterodactyl might make. Also, they're pretty used to their human neighbours in the park, so they'll casually stroll down the path toward you. It's a little disconcerting being that close to such large pointy beaks, I'm not going to lie! I was completely intrigued by these cool-looking birds, and I immediately wanted to learn a little more about them.
Sandhill Crane Fun Facts:
Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis) like to live in open areas like grasslands, meadows, and wetlands. They can reach about 20 years of age, and mated pairs stay together year-round. These cranes eat mostly grains and seeds, as well as some insects, invertebrates, and the occasional vertebrate. This explains why they like it at Reifel, where offering seed to the local mallards is a common practice – you can check out my little video to see the resulting 'mallard army'!
Sandhill cranes build big nests of piled vegetation, either floating on the surface of a marsh or attached to more vegetation along a bank. Their chicks are precocial, which is a fancy way of saying hatched 'ready to go': they can walk right away, and can feed themselves within a day of hatching. They still need Mum and Dad though – their parents offer shelter and protection from pretators, and teach them all the behaviours and skills they need to be good cranes. Once again, Cornell's All About Birds helped me out with the Sandhill Crane natural history. Check 'em out if you've got any bird-related curiosity, they know their stuff.
Reifel's Resident Sandhill Cranes
It turns out that these neat-looking cranes can be seen regularly at Reifel. There's a resident pair that lives there all year, and they are often accompanied during the fall and winter by their latest offspring. Sandhill Cranes often overwinter with their parents before joining up with other juvenile cranes to form a social group until they reach their breeding age of about three to five years old.
In addition to the resident family, other Sandhill Cranes congregate in the sanctuary in the non-breeding season (late summer to early winter). The sanctuary reports that last October there were 36 cranes using the area as a roost at night – each day the birds would head out to find some good grub in neighbouring farm fields. If you're interested, you can read more here about the history of Reifel's resident and visiting Sandhill Cranes.
My First Sandhill Crane Encounter
As I said, I didn't know at first that these birds were Reifel residents. As we made our way around the sanctuary, I was totally charmed by the American Coots. Filming a couple of them paddling around in the shallow marsh, I was suddenly startled by a bizzare honking noise overhead.
Here's my introduction to the Sandhill Cranes!
They approached us on the shore and strolled around, calmly preening and checking out the area (all the while keeping a wary eye on us). One of them even decided to take a nibble on my pants, just to see if they were made of something tasty.
Eventually they went on their way, but we ran into several more Sandhill Cranes during our time at the sanctuary. If you like, you can check out my Reifel Flickr set for some more crane photos. Needless to say, these astonishing birds were one of the highlights of the trip, and I'm excited to return in the spring – I'd really like to see a crane baby!

The grounds of the Paul Revere House, Boston's oldest building and a historic Colonial landmark, are getting an examination. But there will be no probing; the procedure is noninvasive.
Using a technology called ground penetrating radar, Allen Gontz, an assistant professor of environmental, earth, and ocean sciences at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, began a series of soil tests at the North End site on Tuesday. He is looking for gas lines, water pipes, and deep features like wells, privies, and previous foundations.
Gontz's data will help guide the Paul Revere Memorial Association as it plans the renovation of nearby Lathrop Place, a parcel and two-family house built in 1835.
"It's just an added dimension, additional information that can be considered when planning," said Ellen Burkland, the city archeologist at the mayor's office who has assisted with the project and collaborated with Gontz in the past. The Revere Association plans to renovate the Lathrop Place house for educational programs.
On Wednesday, Gontz and a few of his graduate students were creating a grid of the property. The GPR, a device that looks like a radio-controlled car, crept over the courtyard bricks, taking measurements using electromagnetic radar waves that it shoots into the ground.
"What we are looking for is historical and cultural objects or remnants," he said. "With an idea of any building that would have been standing, we can build a model.... It could help develop a better understanding of what Boston would have looked like during the Revolutionary War."


Recovering Slowly
Improving financial position of discoms augurs well for renewables
Given the significant role of discoms in the power sector, their finances have an impact on power producers as well, particularly in the renewable energy sector where project margins and returns on investment are largely dependent on the offtaker. Discom finances are influenced by a host of factors and have a considerable impact on power generation, scheduling and forecasting as well as on the disbursement of subsidies for renewable power generators.
Factors affecting discoms
The electricity generated in India comes largely from thermal power plants. Therefore, coal prices and policies have a significant impact on discom finances. Most of the coal-based power projects implemented after 2008 have experienced considerable capital cost escalation owing to delays in execution. Delays in land acquisition and clearances from the government, the depreciation of the rupee against the dollar for projects using imported boiler, turbine and generator equipment, and challenges in securing funding are some of the key issues leading to cost overruns. In May 2016, Coal India Limited (CIL) revised the pithead run-of-the-mine prices of all grades of non-coking coal, which led to a 14-18 per cent increase in coal prices, thus increasing the cost of generation by 9-10 paise per kWh.
Further, the Ministry of Railways rationalised the freight rates for coal transportation, revising them upwards for distances between 200 km and 700 km, and downwards for distances greater than 700 km. In addition, the Railway Board levied a coal terminal surcharge of Rs 55 per metric tonne at both the loading and unloading points for distances beyond 100 km.
These factors have led to an increase in the levellised tariff of thermal power from Rs 2.50 per kWh in 2006 to Rs 4.20 per kWh in 2016. Thus, discoms are now reluctant to invite bids and sign long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) at the higher tariffs offered by developers. As a result, 26 GW of recently commissioned and under-construction capacity in the private independent power producer (IPP) segment does not have long-term PPAs.
Another significant issue plaguing discom finances is the high level of aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses. The AT&C loss levels of discoms vary widely across states, with significantly higher losses (more than 25 per cent) in states such as Bihar, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. Given that many discoms in these states are following the Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojana (UDAY) guidelines, these losses are expected to reduce in the near future.
Together, these issues are affecting retail tariffs, which have been increasing steadily over the past three to four years. However, the rate of average tariff hike has declined from 14 per cent in 2012-13 to 7 per cent in 2013-14. Tariffs increased by 9 per cent in 2014-15 before falling again to 4 per cent in 2015-16 and 2016-17. During 2017-18, based on the tariff orders issued so far in 18 states, the average tariff hike continues to remain modest at about 4 per cent. Moreover, despite the rise in tariffs, the gap between the average cost of supply and the average tariff realised per unit for discoms persists across most of the states, resulting in the discoms running at a net operational loss. This can be seen from the fact that the discoms had a total accumulated book loss of Rs 4.1 trillion as of March 2015.
Discoms and solar power
The tariffs for power generated from solar photovoltaic plants have been declining consistently. In the Bhadla tender in 2017, the tariff fell from Rs 12 per kWh in 2011 to Rs 2.44 per kWh. This makes solar power cheaper than wind power (average tariff of Rs 4.80 per kWh) and thermal power (average tariff of Rs 3.40 per kWh). The trend is expected to continue in the upcoming tenders as well. However, given the low market share of solar compared to thermal power, the reduction in solar power tariffs may be offset by rising thermal power tariffs, thus straining the finances of discoms.
Impact of UDAY
UDAY scheme was launched by the government to improve the financial health of the discoms. Its key objectives are to enhance the operating and financial performance of the utilities by enabling tariff competence and reducing AT&C losses. The governments of 27 states and union territories (UTs), accounting for about 97 per cent of the overall debt of the distribution utilities as of September 2015, have signed MoUs with the Ministry of Power for the implementation of the scheme for achieving an operational and financial turnaround of their distribution utilities. The scheme is expected to result in a cumulative benefit of Rs 1,520.77 billion for all discoms.
Under the scheme, bonds worth Rs 2.32 trillion have been issued by the states and discoms towards refinancing the discoms' debt, improving the liquidity profile of the discoms. This represents 86 per cent of the total bonds to be issued as per the MoUs signed. The bonds issued so far constitute state bonds of Rs 2.09 trillion towards discom debt takeover and discom bonds of Rs 240 billion towards the leftover debt. As against the overall debt to be taken over by the state governments in 15 states as part of UDAY, only about Rs 990 billion has been taken over as equity or grant, while the remaining has been extended as state government loans to the discoms and will be subsequently converted to equity or grants over the next three to four years.
However, UDAY is facing some challenges in reducing discom debt. One of the biggest challenges is the high AT&C loss levels (of 28-61 per cent) for discoms in Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. The ability of the discoms in these states to reduce their losses to the stipulated levels in a timely manner is critical to their financial well-being.
Nevertheless, discoms have, in recent years, enjoyed a favourable coal supply situation. These supply-side tailwinds can be attributed to increased government focus on providing faster clearances, and better cooperation amongst states in acquiring land for ongoing mining projects. In addition, the new coal allocation policy to improve the supply of domestic coal to IPPs has also worked in favour of the discoms.
Under the new policy, IPPs with existing PPAs will be awarded coal linkages through an auction process at a discount on the quoted tariff. In this context, aggressive bidding to secure coal linkages may lead to a risk of under-recovery in variable costs. For IPPs without PPAs, linkages will be made available through the auction route with the bid parameter at a premium over the CIL-notified price. The policy has also included a provision to allocate domestic coal to projects based on imported coal through the auction route.
These factors are expected to standardise coal allocation and ensure a reliable supply of coal for IPPs. This, in turn, is expected to have a positive impact on discom finances by allowing power producers to optimise their production costs and passing on the benefits to the discoms.
Future prospects
The concrete steps taken by the central and state governments towards improving discom finances are expected to have a positive impact. Although the discoms are currently facing significant financial challenges, they have also been showing improvements in their financial and operational performance. Moreover, with a reduced interest burden owing to the state governments taking over a significant portion of the discom debt, the discoms have increased investments in the distribution network, which will help them reduce their AT&C losses. n

The Renaissance did this through things like art, literature, and later through science.
Looking at art, we can see that during the Renaissance artists came to cultivate their own styles. During the Middle Ages, art had tended to be fairly uniform, with the emphasis on the religious subject of the art. In the Renaissance, art continued to be religious in many cases, but it started to look very carefully at the human individual (think of how individual and well-portrayed the people in Michelangelo's paintings are) and it started to be done in individualistic styles. This sort of thing would have encouraged people to think of themselves in more individualistic terms. So would the writings of people like Petrarch and Dante. These ideas were then taught in the new schools that focused on humanism in education. Eventually, they led to the scientific revolution that really brought individuals' abilities to think and reason to the fore.

Teaching indigenous languages with AR
3 minutes
March 26, 2021
This week, you can read in Avvír about how and why Ludenso Create will be made available in 3 Sámi languages by 2022. Together with forward-thinking Sámi teachers, we hope to contribute to the preservation of the indigenous languages in Scandinavia.
The indigenous Sámi people from Scandinavia naturally feel proud of their culture. Unfortunately, lots of young students with Sámi backgrounds do not know the language of their parents and grandparents. The Scandinavian schools offer education and values which are usually far from the Sámi culture, making it difficult to access modern tools to motivate these students to learn their native language. That is why we at Ludenso are proud to share that we will make Ludenso Create available in 3 Sámi languages by next year.
Why is it important to make new technology available in indigenous languages in school?
Language is our main form of interaction with others, as our words help preserve stories, information, traditions, and identity. The indigenous languages represent the legacy of grandmothers and grandfathers. Should an indigenous language disappear, the indigenous traditional knowledge such as legends, stories, songs, and myths also disappear.

Today, indigenous languages are threatened by the constant growth and assimilation of globalization. This is despite the UN's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which states that learning an indigenous language is a human right.
How can we contribute to the preservation of the Sámi languages?
At Ludenso, we work to enable all children to become digital creators. This means that regardless of your background, ethnicity, or language, you should be able to free your imagination with the AR technology we are developing.
In collaboration with the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training, we have therefore set out to translate our AR program, Ludenso Create, as well as pedagogical content and guidelines into how to use the technology in the three Sámi languages. This includes Lule Sámi, Northern Sámi, and Southern Sámi. But pure translation is not all. We also want to help preserve the Sámi perspectives, values, history, and culture. To achieve this we will collaborate closely with Sámi teachers, who will share their pedagogical and cultural perspectives on how to phrase tasks for the students.
Photo: "Sami Man" by blueorangestudio
This year, we are creating a teacher portal, where teachers can share their pedagogical tasks through a form, and easily access and share these tasks with students and colleagues. The teachers will also be able to find the pedagogical tasks created by others. This way, the Sámi teachers can help inspire other Sámi teachers. A bonus is that this enables teachers from other countries to seek inspiration from these tasks to teach their students about the indigenous cultures we are so fortunate to have in Scandinavia.
Are you a Sámi teacher, and would like to take part in the work to enable all children to be digital creators? Please send us an email to _EMAIL_, and we would love to collaborate.

Effect of cooling rate during solidification of Aluminum - chromium alloy
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
MetadataShow full item record
Controlling the distribution of alloying elements in aluminum casting and designing new processing practices are supported by an enhanced understanding of the thermodynamics and kinetics of solidification at industrial scales. While the behavior of eutectic forming elements such as copper has received a lot of attention, the interactions of peritectic-forming elements such as chromium is understudied. We herein use a time-dependent nucleation model for the calculation of the incubation time of nuclei in the liquid. This characteristic time is computed at various temperatures, and the results are presented in the form of a time-temperature diagram. Liquid phase thermodynamics of dilute compositions in the aluminum-chromium system are experimentally informed using the electrochemical potential difference method. Thermodynamic data obtained from these investigations are used to inform physical properties of the aluminum-chromium melt. The aforementioned time-temperature diagrams are recalculated using experimental data and theoretical cooling rates for phase selection are calculated. Critical cooling rates calculated from the model are applied to industrially relevant practices such as DC casting and Twin roll casting.

Are microwaves distributed unevenly in the oven? Why do manufacturers claim that microwaves with turntables are more effective than microwaves without turntables?
As the microwaves bounce around the inside of the cooking chamber, they tend to interfere with one another. There are usually regions in which the waves that follow various paths almost cancel one another and regions in which the waves reinforce one another. These regions don't cook food equally well. If the microwaves are canceled in one region, cooking will be slow there. If the microwaves reinforce one another in another region, cooking will be fast there. If you simply leave food in one place and try to cook it in the microwaves, the cooking will be uneven. However, if the food is rotated continuously, these good and bad cooking regions will be blurred away so that the food will all cook at about the same speed.


Question: What Is Gain Value?
What is a gain account?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In financial accounting, a gain is the increase in net profit resulting from something other than the day to day earnings from recurrent operations, and are not associated with investments or withdrawals..
What is a gain?
A gain is an increase in the value of an asset or property. A gain arises if the selling price of the asset is higher than the original purchase price. … That said, a gain only truly matters when the asset is sold and the gains are realized as profit.
What are examples of gains?
Other examples of gains that could appear on a company's income statement include:Gain on sale of investments.Gain on sale of building.Gain on legal settlement.Gain on early extinguishment of debt.
What is a day gain?
Day gain is the difference between the total value of your account before the market opened today versus the value at this point in the trading day. … It's the value change in the securities you hold for that trading day only.
What is day gain loss?
Updated. Gains or losses are said to be "realized" when a stock (or other investment) that you own is actually sold. Unrealized gains and losses are also commonly known as "paper" profits or losses. An unrealized loss occurs when a stock decreases after an investor buys it, but has yet to sell it.
How does gain work?
Both gain and levels refer to the loudness of the audio. However, gain is the input level of the clips and volume is the output. In recording audio, gain is the first control that the microphone signal goes through in a mixer while levels are adjusted after that.
How do you calculate gain in electronics?
Amplifier gain is simply the ratio of the output divided-by the input. Gain has no units as its a ratio, but in Electronics it is commonly given the symbol "A", for Amplification. Then the gain of an amplifier is simply calculated as the "output signal divided by the input signal".
What is gain sensor?
Excess gain is a measure of the minumum light energy needed for reliable sensor operation. The light signal that your sensor emits is factory-calibrated to a certain level of performance.
What is gain in a circuit?
What is gain in math?
The Gain block multiplies the input by a constant value (gain). The input and the gain can each be a scalar, vector, or matrix. … The input and gain are then multiplied, and the result is converted to the output data type using the specified rounding and overflow modes.
At what percent gain should I sell stock?
Take Many Gains At 20%-25% When a stock is going the right direction, your decision making is not as easy. How long should you hold? Here's a specific rule to help boost your prospects for long-term stock investing success: Once your stock has broken out, take most of your profits when they reach 20% to 25%.
How the profit gain is expressed?
It measures the amount of net profit a company obtains per dollar of revenue gained. The net profit margin is equal to net profit (also known as net income) … divided by total revenue. In accounting, the terms "sales" and "revenue" can be, and often are, used interchangeably, to mean the same thing.
Why op amp has high gain?
The opamp inherently has an incredibly, unbelievably high voltage gain because it is a multistage, differentail amplifier designed to give that high voltage. The first two stages contribute to this gain by using current sources and active loads. What is a virtual short in an op-amp?
How do you find gain?
Determining Percentage Gain or Loss Take the selling price and subtract it from the initial purchase price. The result is the gain or loss. Take the gain or loss from the investment and divide it by the original amount or purchase price of the investment.
Can you have negative gain?
Negative gain means the output is inverted from the input. For the gain to be negative, the output would have to go down when the input goes up, which is clearly not happening in your case.
What is the formula of selling price?
selling price = (100 + profit%)cost price/100; [Here, cost price and profit% are known.] 1.
How do you reduce AMP gain?
In high quality amplifiers negative feedback is often used to reduce the gain of the amplifier. A particular benefit of this, is that any distortion of the signal or background noise produced by the amplifier is also reduced.
What is an example of accounting profit?
For example, if a person invested $100,000 to start a business and earned $120,000 in profit, their accounting profit would be $20,000. Economic profit, however, would add implicit costs, such as the opportunity cost of $50,000, which represents the salary they would have earned if they kept their day job.
What is gain from investment?
A capital gain is an increase in the value of a capital asset—either an investment or real estate—that gives it a higher value than the original purchase price. An investor does not have a capital gain until an investment is sold for a profit.
How do I gain from dB?
The ratio will be 1000/10 = 100, and the gain will be 10 * log 100 = 20 dB. It is much easier to calculate gain by converting the power to dBm first, so the gain of the above amplifier will be 30-10 = 20 dB. A simple reduction will reveal the gain. In tradition, all power is read in dBm and the gain is in dB.
What is profit and example?
Profit is a benefit or gain, usually monetary. An example of profit is the money a business has left after paying their expenses. … The amount of money received for goods and services minus the amount spent on same; excess revenue. See also profit Ã prendre.

This paper explores and explains migrant-native differentials in psychological health of adolescents in Spain. As a recent immigration country, research on integration outcomes in Spain is attracting growing attention. Spain was the second largest destination of international migration only after the US from 2000 to 2007, and the impact that the Great Recession is being particularly strong among migrant families and other disadvantaged groups. Our paper is inspired by a growing body of research from United States showing that Latin American origin adolescents tend to show highest risks for mental health even after controlling for age, gender and socioeconomic status. Despite of the growing size of this population in Spain, research on their mental health and psychological wellbeing remains very limited due to a serious dearth of adequate data. We take advantage of a recently released dataset, the Chances (2011) survey, which sampled students enrolled in the 3rd and 4th grades of secondary education in the municipality of Madrid (n=2,734). The survey oversampled adolescents of immigrant origin, which allows for separated analyses of this population. In addition, it contains very rich information on the life of adolescents, including indicators of mental health and psychological wellbeing, quality of the relationship within the family, relationships with friends and schoolmates, etc. A parallel survey was taken with the parents of half of the adolescents sample (n=1,239), which includes additional information about family characteristics and intergenerational relationships. Finally, the data also permit to examine the impact of contextual factors such as schools and neighbourhoods. Our findings suggest worse mental health outcomes of children of migrant families compared to native families in Spain. Using several indicators of mental health outcomes (e.g. difficulties to concentrate, sleep, self-esteem), the paper examines the effect of parent characteristics, family conflict, and school and neighbourhood context on adolescent mental health.

The ORBIT project develops an "Open Resource Bank for Interactive Teaching" (ORBIT) (and an associated programme) to promote interactive teaching for primary and secondary schools. ORBIT is aimed at use in formal HE teaching (PGCE), use in training schools and by teacher mentors, as well as continuing professional development for in-service teachers.
ORBIT makes existing higher education expertise on teacher education as widely available as possible to other teacher education providers both within HE and otherwise, through:
- ensuring that relevant and high quality resources from existing and disappearing collections (both produced within HEIs and by practitioners) are made openly available to the teacher education and school teacher communities,
- developing additional materials where these are needed to fill gaps, and
- contributing to broad collaboration and synergy in OER on teacher education, both within the UK, and between the UK and other countries, such as the United States.
The Open Resource Bank on Interactive Teaching (ORBIT) supports teaching and learning in a significant part of an initial teacher education course, such as an HE-based 1-year PGCE course in primary education or secondary mathematics or science (or a school-based training programme), primarily focusing on interactive teaching in these two subject areas. Mathematics and science are key curriculum subjects and a focus in this area fits well with the government's current prioritisation of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). The ORBIT focusses on practical aspects of interactive teaching and enquiry-based learning, illustrating pedagogical principles through concrete lesson plans and ideas. The ORBIT materials are hands-on, presenting actual activities within lessons as the primary building blocks, with theoretical ideas embedded within these blocks. We seek to make this particular approach – a hallmark of effective teacher education – more accessible and tangible. Within ORBIT, there is also a significant focus on the use of ICT within the subject teaching of mathematics and science, which is an important emerging area, and one which is notoriously lacking in effective pedagogical support.
The overarching concern of the ORBIT project is to bring together Open Educational Resources in a particular subject area, and then to increase their use. The first objective is the creation of the ORBIT resource bank itself. We draw on content and technical expertise from a wide range of partners.
The second objective is the creation of an open course book. A collection of materials will be collated into a self-contained open digital course book, which with freedom to duplicate, re-use, and adapt content.
The third objective is to address a number of research questions relating to open content.
Anticipated Outputs and Outcomes
The ORBIT resource bank itself contains lesson ideas and plans, associated with pedagogical principles as well as subject information. Resources are tagged, for instance according to grade, subject, and pedagogical principles, and users can make their own collections. Each resource in the ORBIT includes professional studies and subject-specific elements, together developing pedagogical content knowledge.
Another output is the self-contained 'open course book' itself, which is a collection of ORBIT resources (i.e. a series of lesson ideas, together with subject/pedagogical notes and exercises), together with a number of additional chapters (such as an introductory chapter, and then a brief chapter introducing each pedagogical idea).

Vitamin b12 deficiency not linked with birth weight
By Jimmy Downs
Satuday March 2, 2013 (foodconsumer.org) -- A study published a study in Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology suggests that vitamin B12 deficiency of a pregnancy woman may not affect the fetal growth or birth weight. The study did not examine the effect of vitamin B12 deficiency on the brain development in the fetuses.
Dr Jiji Elizabeth Mathews from Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Christian Medical College and Hospital in Vellore, Tamilnadu, India and colleagues tested vitamin B12 in the blood of low risk women attending an antenatal clinic who were followed until delivery. Fifty eight women had babies with birth weight of less 2500 grams ans fifty eight women had babies with birth weight of greater than 2500 grams.
The rate of vitamin B12 deficiency (defined as less than 200 pg/mL) was found similar in both groups, 33% versus 29%, a difference that was not significant.
The researchers also assessed the women's socioeconomic status and found that low birth weight was associated with low birth socioeconomic status.
The study results may not be applicable to the population in the West as the Western dietary pattern is different from that in India.

Pasting in Chicks – Causes, Prevention & Treatment
Baby chicks go through a lot before you get them home. They are hatched, shipped, and stocked at your favorite feed or pet store where they encounter all the hustle and bustle of a retail environment. Then you select them, transport them yet again and bring them to another new environment. For a baby animal that is only a few days old, that can mean a lot of stress, and stress can greatly impact the health of young chicks.
One of the most notable problems in chicks that are stressed is pasting. This problem (also called "pasty butt" or "poopy butt") is what happens when feces that are not the right consistency get stuck to the bird and can "paste" the vent (area where feces are excreted) closed. Left untreated, this problem, which on the surface just seems a little gross, can actually be fatal. Pasting can be caused by a few key triggers.
At the hatchery, chicks are not fed or watered since they are equipped to live on the yolk reserves inside their bodies for the two to three days it takes to ship them to their final destination. When they arrive they are thirsty and hungry and impulse for us is to place feeders and waterers immediately. However, one important step in preventing pasting is making sure that the baby birds in the brooder are all drinking before they are given food. When placing chicks in the brooder, have your waterer set up but do not place the feed right away. As each bird goes into the brooder, dip the beak into the waterer so they can get a small drink and also learn where their water source is. Watch your birds carefully at first, when you feel that all birds have found the water and had a good drink you can add the feed, but not before. This will prevent the birds from filling up on feed and not going to water like they should. Without water in their system, they cannot correctly digest their food, which leads to pasting.
Incorrect brooder temprature is also another scenario that can lead to pasting. If birds are
Baby chicks are under a lot of stress during the first weeks of life.
too warm they will dehydrate quickly, and chilled birds are highly stressed - both these conditions can result in pasting. Keeping waterers clean and water fresh is also essential – this will increase water consumption which is the best defense against pasting.
Identifying this problem is relatively easy for all the reasons you'd expect: chicks will have a build up of feces around the vent area, alerting you that they have a problem. Treating pasting can be unpleasant, but it is not difficult or costly. All you need is some warm water and latex gloves as well as lots of patience. Take the affected bird and gently try and swab the feces from the vent area. Using a wet paper towel works well; for extreme cases you may need to hold the vent area under lukewarm (not hot) running water. Sitting the chick in a mug or bowl of lukewarm water is also another option to loosen the feces before wiping them away. The main goal is to clear the vent area so the bird can resume defecating normally. After you have cleaned the bird up, applying some sort of lubricant, like vaseline, to the affected area can help prevent further problems. Closely monitor all your chicks for the first several weeks of life so you can catch signs of pasting and treat it quickly!


The duality between the organisation's preferences and the different innovation frameworks
The aim of this article is to reveal what organising of innovation and growth can be enabled in small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) networks. This is especially interesting for the governance of loosely coupled networks. The research is conducted in the Danish food industry with three food-producing firm networks. The posed hypotheses are tested in a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach with the available data of 60 SMEs.
The findings show that the governance of preferred behaviours of SMEs has a considerable significant positive impact on product and systematic innovation, which have a significant impact on growth. Governance of network connections is also found to have a significant positive impact on growth. The findings contribute to an understanding of how both governance of preferred SME behaviour and network connections enable innovation. This study provides SMEs, SME network organisations and policy bodies with an enhanced understanding of governance approaches.

Hi there! 🐒 Below is a massive list of diffraction grating words - that is, words related to diffraction grating. There are 460 diffraction grating-related words in total, with the top 5 most semantically related being monochromator, dispersion, diffraction, grating and waveguide. You can get the definition(s) of a word in the list below by tapping the question-mark icon next to it. The words at the top of the list are the ones most associated with diffraction grating, and as you go down the relatedness becomes more slight. By default, the words are sorted by relevance/relatedness, but you can also get the most common diffraction grating terms by using the menu below, and there's also the option to sort the words alphabetically so you can get diffraction grating words starting with a particular letter. You can also filter the word list so it only shows words that are also related to another word of your choosing. So for example, you could enter "monochromator" and click "filter", and it'd give you words that are related to diffraction grating and monochromator.
You can highlight the terms by the frequency with which they occur in the written English language using the menu below. The frequency data is extracted from the English Wikipedia corpus, and updated regularly. If you just care about the words' direct semantic similarity to diffraction grating, then there's probably no need for this.

Grassland agriculture is an important industry for livestock production and land management throughout the world. We review the principles of nutrient cycling in grassland agriculture, discuss examples of grassland farming systems research, and demonstrate the usefulness of whole-farm simulation for integrating economic and environmental components. Comprehensive studies conducted at the Karkendamm experimental farm in northern Germany and the De Marke experimental farm in the Netherlands have quantified nutrient flows and developed innovative strategies to reduce nutrient losses in grassland farming systems. This research has focused on improving the utilization of manure nutrients on the farm by including grain crops in cropping systems with grassland and by incorporating manure handling techniques that reduce nitrogen losses. Although the information generated in experimental farms is not always directly applicable to other climates and soils, it is being transferred to other regions through computer simulation. A whole-farm model calibrated and verified with the experimental farm data is being used to evaluate and refine these strategies for commercial farms in other areas. Simulation of farms in northern Europe illustrate that on the sandy soils of this region, maize (Zea mays L.) silage can be used along with grasslands to increase farm profitability while maintaining or reducing nutrient loss to the environment. Use of cover crops, low emission barns, covered manure storages, and direct injection of manure into soil greatly reduces N losses from these farms, but their use creates a net cost to the producer. By integrating experimental farm data with whole-farm simulation, more sustainable grassland production systems can be cost-effectively evaluated, refined, and transferred to commercial production.
