text: Hi i found a question in number theory, involving two equations, it goes as follows: Let p1, p2, p3 and p4 be 4 different prime numbers satisfying the equations 2p1 + 3p2 + 5p3 + 7p4 = 162 11p1 + 7p2 + 5p3 + 4p4 = 162 Find all possible values of p1p2p3p4. Not knowing what to do, i used the fact that even plus odd numbers add to give odd numbers to deduce that one of either p2 or p3 is 2. Also, by taking the two equations from each other, and some inequalities i managed to break down p1 and p4 into sets of possible prime numbers (p1 was possibly 3,5,7 or 11, and p4 was either 13, 17 or 10) and i was forced into testing each value of p4 and seeing if other solutions are possible, however there was only one possible answer which was p1 = 5, p2 = 3, p3 = 2, and p4 = 19, which gives the product value of 570. Two questions - is this actually right? and secondly, surely there's a much nicer way to find the answer to this question, maybe one which is more indirect seeing as we must only find the possible values of the product, not the values of the prime numbers themselves? EDIT: Sorry just saw that rule about no posting of any "homework-style" questions, sorry.

Findings provide new therapeutic route for rare kidney disease
15th June 2010
Recent findings provide a new focus for future therapies for Dent's disease, for which there is currently no cure.
Scientists from the University of Leeds have discovered the mechanisms of a protein known to play an active part in the inherited kidney disorder, Dent's disease. The findings provide a new focus for future therapies for the disease, for which there is currently no cure.
Dent's disease is an extremely rare illness caused by a genetic mutation on the X chromosome. Affecting mostly men, its main symptom is kidney stones often followed by a deterioration of kidney function and in many cases chronic kidney failure. Treatment for the disease is focused on alleviating symptoms and can involve kidney transplant.
Scientists from the University's Faculty of Biological Sciences have uncovered the role of a transporter protein, called CLC-5, which is known to be faulty in many sufferers of Dent's disease.
Lead researcher Dr Jonathan Lippiat says, "This is a rare genetic disease so it's impossible to know the exact number of sufferers worldwide. Dent's disease could be the underlying cause of kidney stones or kidney failure for a larger number of people and it could be that a number of Dent's sufferers go undiagnosed. The faulty gene itself has been known about for quite a while, but there's been no concrete evidence about the function it fulfils. That's why we're excited by these findings - they provide us with a whole new area to examine in the search for therapies for Dent's disease."
In a research project supported by the Wellcome Trust, Dr Lippiat and his team have discovered that CLC-5 facilitates a crucial function by allowing certain ions to pass through cell membranes so they can reach the places they are needed.
The kidneys filter our blood, removing waste, but minerals and hormones that we need to remain healthy need to be reabsorbed. In order for the cells in the kidney to reabsorb effectively, a process called endocytosis takes place to allow larger molecules to travel through the cell membrane.
In endocytosis, a compartment is created in the cell membrane for the molecule to enter. This compartment - or endosome - needs to be acidic in order for the process to work effectively. The research findings show that CLC-5 delivers protons into endosomes, which causes acidification to occur, so when it CLC-5 is faulty, endocytosis cannot take place effectively.
"If endocytosis can't take place we lose vital vitamins and hormones," says Dr Lippiat. "CLC-5 is actually part of a family of proteins, some of which are implicated in other diseases, so these findings could have important consequences when we're looking at the role of other proteins in the same family."

|Key Points for This Section|
Studies have shown that religious and spiritual values are important to Americans. Most American adults say that they believe in God and that their religious beliefs affect how they live their lives. However, people have different ideas about life after death, belief in miracles, and other religious beliefs. Such beliefs may be based on gender, education, and ethnic background.
Many patients with cancer rely on spiritual or religious beliefs and practices to help them cope with their disease. This is called spiritual coping. Many caregivers also rely on spiritual coping. Each person may have different spiritual needs, depending on cultural and religious traditions. For some seriously ill patients, spiritual well-being may affect how much anxiety they feel about death. For others, it may affect what they decide about end-of-life treatments. Some patients and their family caregivers may want doctors to talk about spiritual concerns, but may feel unsure about how to bring up the subject.
Some studies show that doctors' support of spiritual well-being in very ill patients helps improve their quality of life. Health care providers who treat patients coping with cancer are looking at new ways to help them with religious and spiritual concerns. Doctors may ask patients which spiritual issues are important to them during treatment as well as near the end of life. When patients with advanced cancer receive spiritual support from the medical team, they may be more likely to choose hospice care and less aggressive treatment at the end of life. (See the PDQ® summary on Last Days of Life for information on end-of-life issues.)
The terms spirituality and religion are often used in place of each other, but for many people they have different meanings. Religion may be defined as a specific set of beliefs and practices, usually within an organized group. Spirituality may be defined as an individual's sense of peace, purpose, and connection to others, and beliefs about the meaning of life. Spirituality may be found and expressed through an organized religion or in other ways. Patients may think of themselves as spiritual or religious or both.
Serious illnesses like cancer may cause patients or family caregivers to have doubts about their beliefs or religious values and cause much spiritual distress. Some studies show that patients with cancer may feel that they are being punished by God or may have a loss of faith after being diagnosed. Other patients may have mild feelings of spiritual distress when coping with cancer.
This summary is about spirituality and religion in adults with cancer.
|Key Points for This Section|
It is not known for sure how spirituality and religion are related to health. Some studies show that spiritual or religious beliefs and practices create a positive mental attitude that may help a patient feel better and improve the well-being of family caregivers. Spiritual and religious well-being may help improve health and quality of life in the following ways:
Spiritual and religious well-being may also help a patient live longer.
Spiritual distress may make it harder for patients to cope with cancer and cancer treatment. Health care providers may encourage patients to meet with experienced spiritual or religious leaders to help deal with their spiritual issues. This may improve their health, quality of life, and ability to cope.
|Key Points for This Section|
A spiritual assessment is a method or tool used by doctors to understand the role that religious and spiritual beliefs have in the patient's life. This may help the doctor understand how these beliefs affect the way the patient responds to the cancer diagnosis and decisions about cancer treatment. Some doctors or caregivers may wait for the patient to bring up spiritual concerns. Others may use an interview or a questionnaire.
The health care team may not ask about every issue the patient feels is important. Patients should bring up other spiritual or religious issues that they think may affect their cancer care.
|Key Points for This Section|
Spirituality and religion are very personal issues. Patients should expect doctors and caregivers to respect their religious and spiritual beliefs and concerns. Patients with cancer who rely on spirituality to cope with the disease should be able to count on the health care team to give them support. This may include giving patients information about people or groups that can help with spiritual or religious needs. Most hospitals have chaplains, but not all outpatient settings do. Patients who do not want to discuss spirituality during cancer care should also be able to count on the health care team to respect their wishes.
Doctors and caregivers will try to respond to their patients' concerns, but may not take part in patients' religious practices or discuss specific religious beliefs.

Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. Some patients have symptoms caused by cancer treatment or by the cancer itself. During supportive care clinical trials, information is collected about how well new ways to treat symptoms of cancer work. The trials also study side effects of treatment and problems that come up during or after treatment. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients who have symptoms related to cancer treatment may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.

Nonlinearity in Broadband Wireless Communication Systems
Licentiatavhandling, 2003
In the implementation of a digital communication system, there often exist imperfections that are not considered in the primary design. One such imperfection is the nonlinearity of the front-end devices. In most cases the physics of the nonlinearity is not completely known, and therefore the analysis of the system is very difficult, if not impossible. In this case models based on the observations from the device behavior has to be built and used in the study of the system. This thesis focuses on modeling and analysis of a system with nonlinearity. The topics covered here are modeling the nonlinearities, the impact of nonlinearity on a digital communication link, compensation of the nonlinearity effects, and measures to evaluate the susceptibility of signals to nonlinearity. In the modeling part, a model for a bandpass nonlinearity which is based on measurements on several harmonics of the output is presented. Unlike linear systems, in nonlinear systems a baseband equivalent does not contain all the information about the bandpass system. In this case the original bandpass model has to be used in some analysis. The model is then used to evaluate the performance of a broadband wireless communication system in the presence of nonlinearity. Two major classes of modulation for broadband wireless transmission are studied and the effect of nonlinearity on them is addressed. We also present and compare several methods of compensating the nonlinearity of the RF front-end of a wireless system. The methods include baseband and RF compensation methods. The design procedure for each one is discussed and the performance of the compensated system is evaluated. Finally we study signal measures related to nonlinearities, such as PAPR (Peak-to-Average-Power-Ratio), with respect to their ability to correctly predict the impact of a nonlinearity on an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system. We also propose new measures for signal distortion in nonlinear systems.
baseband predistortion
single carrier modulation
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
bandpass nonlinearity
multicarrier modulation
nonlinearity distortion
high power amplifier
RF predistortion
peak to average power ratio (PAPR)

How does Simvastatin work? - MedicineHow
How does Simvastatin work?
How does Simvastatin work
Simvastatin is a type of drug called a statin, which is a group of drugs that all work in a similar way to control the level of cholesterol in your blood. It works by blocking an enzyme in the body that is needed to produce cholesterol, reducing the amount of cholesterol inside your body, which is thought to help protect you from cardiovascular events such as a heart attack or stroke.
Brand Names and Doses
Brand Dose IconSimvastatin is the generic name of the drug, which is the active component that has an effect on your body. You may also know it by a brand name, the name given by the drug manufacturing company, such as:
 - Zocor
 - Simvahexal
 - Simvasyn
 - Zimstat
 - Ransim
 - Lipex
 - Simvar
Each of these brand names contains the same active component – simvastatin – and works in the same way in the body. It is simply sold under different names according to which company produces the medication.
There are several different doses of simvastatin available including 5mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg.
Most people who begin with a low dose such as 5 mg or 10 mg once a day, which can gradually be increased until the cholesterol in your blood reaches a safer level. Your doctor will usually schedule a follow-up appointment about a month after starting to take simvastatin to monitor the effects of the drug and make changes if needed. This allows your body time to adjust to the drug and reduces the risk of side effects, rather than starting with a dose that is too high.
Blood Pressure Reset Challenge Ad
What type of drug is it?
Drug Type IconSimvastatin is a type of drug called a statin. Other several drugs that in this class include:
Simvastatin is one of the most effective statin drugs to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood, particularly LDL cholesterol. Simvastatin is processed in the liver to be excreted from the body and can sometimes interact with other medications that your may be taking, so it is a good idea for your doctor to know which medications you are taking before prescribing simvastatin.
What is simvastatin used for?
Uses IconSimvastatin helps to lower the LDL cholesterol and triglycerides concentration in your blood and increase HDL cholesterol concentration. Each of these factors can be helpful to prevent cardiovascular events because plaque is less likely to build up in your blood vessels (called atherosclerosis) that can block the flow of blood.
If you have a high risk of cardiovascular disease, simvastatin can reduce your risk of suffering from a myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularization procedures, and death. Your doctor may recommend simvastatin if you have:
 - High levels of cholesterol in your blood (hypercholesteremia)
 - Hypertension and other risk factors for heart disease
 - High levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in your blood (mixed hyperlipidemia)
 - High risk of coronary heart disease
 - Heterozygous familial hypercholesteremia (in children)
Simvastatin should only be used in combination with diet and lifestyle alterations and not as a substitute for healthy living choices.
How does simvastatin work?
How it works IconLike other statin drugs, Simvastatin changes the way that cholesterol is produced in your body to reduce the level of LDL cholesterol in your blood. This helps to stop the build-up of plaque in your blood vessels and prevent atherosclerosis and related cardiac events.
An enzyme called 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase is needed to synthesize cholesterol in the body. When you take simvastatin, it blocks this enzyme and reduces the rate that cholesterol can be produced so that the concentration of cholesterol in the blood decreases.
Simvastatin can also increase the uptake of cholesterol from the blood in the liver so that more cholesterol is taken out of the blood and broken down in the liver, reducing the LDL cholesterol even further. Additionally, it can increase the concentration of triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is sometimes known as "good cholesterol" because it is believed to help prevent cardiovascular events.
Side Effects
Side Effects IconMost patients can take simvastatin without any noticeable side effects. However, you may experience:
 - Muscle pain (myopathy)
 - Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting
 - Headache
 - Insomnia
 - Dizziness
 - Elevated levels of aminotransferase in the body
Rarely, severe muscle pain called myopathy or rhabdomyolysis may present. This usually happens when the dose is too high, such as if there is an interaction with another drug or another related health condition increases sensitivity to the drug. In most cases, the effects will improve if the dose of the drug is reduced.
You should be aware of the possible side effects of simvastatin so that you can recognize the signs and talk to your doctor about decreasing the dose if needed.
Cautions IconIf you have severe trauma, infection or metabolic disease, there is an increased risk of side effects and complications such as myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, and renal failure. Your doctor may advise you to temporarily stop taking rosuvastatin until you recover to prevent this.
These side effects are also more likely if you have poor renal function, which is often a natural part of aging. If you know that your kidneys aren't working to their full capacity, make sure that your doctor knows so that they can prescribe the right dose for you.
Drug Interactions
Drug Interactions IconSimvastatin can interact with many other drugs that you may take including:
 - Amiodarone
 - Bosentan
 - Carbamazepine
 - Clarithromycin
 - Diltiazem
 - Erythromycin
 - Imatinib
 - Itraconazole
 - Ketoconazole
 - Posaconazole
 - Protease inhibitors
 - St John's wort
 - Tacrolimus
 - Ticagrelor
 - Verapamil
If you are taking any of these drugs with simvastatin, it is important that your doctor knows so that the dose can be adjusted if needed. This is particularly important for herbal medications that you can buy over-the-counter without a presciption, such as St. John's wort, which your doctor may not realise you are taking.
Blood Pressure Reset Challenge Ad
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Pregnancy IconSimvastatin should not be used during pregnancy because it can increase the risk of fetal malformation during the first trimester and other stages of pregnancy. If you are a woman of childbearing age, you should use contraceptive methods while taking simvastatin to avoid an unexpected pregnancy. If you are trying to conceive, you should talk to your doctor about your medications fist.
Simvastatin is not recommended for women who are breastfeeding due to the effect it could have on the baby if excreted in breast milk.

Little is known about the factors that contribute to Latino male success in higher education. In this qualitative study, Yosso's (2005) community cultural wealth framework provides an asset-based perspective to illuminate how Latino males used different forms of capital to nurture and sustain their dispositions to succeed at a selective, predominantly White institution. Whereas parents and college preparatory programs nurtured participants' success before college, mentors and peers sustained their dispositions to succeed during college. Implications for research, policy, and practice focus on nurturing and sustaining community cultural wealth among Latino males in higher education.

One of the most important tools a family lawyer can use in a divorce case is a lifestyle analysis: the process of tabulating and analyzing the income and expenses of the parties in order to confirm or refute a spouse's income claims, among other uses. This updated edition of Lifestyle Analysis in Divorce Cases: Investigating Spending and Finding Hidden Income and Assets discusses these subjects in logical, easy-to-understand manner, bringing clarity to a topic that could be confusing for attorneys and judges who often lack an accounting or finance background.
A financial expert or forensic accountant can play an integral part in a divorce case involving complex financial matters. One of the most important tools they can use is a lifestyle analysis, a component being employed in an increasing number of divorces.
Lifestyle Analysis in Divorce Cases walks through the critical documents used in the lifestyle analysis, as well as the process used to complete a thorough and accurate analysis. The book discusses in detail the information that can be gleaned from tax returns, financial statements, bank statements, and other financial documents. The lifestyle analysis is then used to determine the standard of living for all parties, which will influence important support calculations and may affect property division. Additionally, a lifestyle analysis can uncover hidden sources of income and be used to evaluate the finances of each party in a prenuptial agreement.
Author Tracy Coenen, CPA, CFF, discusses these subjects in a manner that is logical and easy to understand, bringing clarity to a topic that could be confusing for attorneys, judges, and juries who often lack an accounting or finance background. The book begins with the critical factors to use in analyzing a couple's standard of living, followed by a discussion of the various types of income and why they should be either included or excluded from calculations in a family law case.
To help an attorney determine whether a lifestyle analysis is necessary for a particular case, the author discusses the numerous red flags that may indicate hidden income or assets or other financial irregularities, including sources for obtaining information, the documents needed for a lifestyle analysis and a strategy for gathering and managing these documents, and discovery from the perspective of the financial expert. Additional chapters focus on key elements included in a lifestyle analysis, including:
- Analyzing historical spending
- Locating hidden assets
- Business lifestyle analysis
- Reporting and testifying
Appendices include a financial discovery checklist, sample Form 1040 and related schedules, and a direct examination checklist.

What are the Top 10 Objections that Attorneys Give for Not Arguing Your Parental Rights... And How Do I Overcome Them?
by | Oct 29, 2019
(Last Updated On: October 29, 2019)
You might have encountered an attorney or two, or three, or fifty that will all tell you the same thing, arguing parental rights in family court will do nothing but irritate the judge and you will lose custody of your child to the other parent. So you are afraid to argue your parental rights and figure that you have no choice but to take the chance and do what you can to appease the judge. We can show you why it is a terrible idea to ignore your parental rights.
1. My judge said that my rights don't apply the same way in family court as they do in criminal court.
That is true enough. That doesn't mean that the judge doesn't have constitutional limits and that doesn't mean he is not limited in what he can do. And it doesn't mean that you don't have constitutional rights that have to be respected by the court. Ask the judge to have a determination on what process is due so that you know how they actually apply. Otherwise, the proceedings are fundamentally unfair.
"What process is due" is a phrase that we teach about in our declaratory judgment motions. We have evolved these motions into a pre-trial motion and have suggested that if you are able to amend your Petition or Counter-petition that you put the arguments in there. This way the court is aware that you will be making the argument, and that you are asking for the protections for these rights to be applied, and that you are framing your case different than the court is accustomed to seeing their pleadings written. Your pleadings is your outline of your case and it guides the judge on what will be expected of the court and what is being asked regarding relief from the court
Family courts like to lie and trick you out of your rights, or at least your belief in your rights, so you do this to position yourself in the eyes of the court as someone who is invoking these protections. I know that I am repeating myself, but it is that important.
There are some differences with how the constitutional protections are applied, but your protections for fundamental rights don't cease to exist just because you stepped into a courtroom. And in fact, if you did not have rights than you also don't have a right to tell the judge no, or to object, or even to notice and a hearing. Ah, but here is the catch 22, the court is applying some rights while ignoring others. The court is going to apply some of the basic due process and that essentially is the right to notice and a hearing. Appellate courts have even gone so far as to say that some of the rules of civil procedure aren't applied unless you request the rule specifically. One of those rules you will no doubt become familiar with is one that most attorneys and judges will call just "The Rule." This is where they make all of the witnesses who will testify in your case go out in the hallway and sit and not hear any other testimony, and not allowed to discuss their testimony with anyone else who is a witness, and testify without the other witnesses in the courtroom. This comes from the Rules of Civil Procedure.
Unfortunately, you are going to have to do the same thing with your parental rights. Attorneys don't like to ask for this because the judge doesn't like to have to stay within the boundaries of the constitution. Judges have enjoyed practically unlimited power and the ability to encroach into your family and tell you what to do and how to be. I wouldn't doubt actually if some county's don't have judges making bets amongst themselves, the way that Orange is the New Black's 7th season had the correctional officers betting amongst each other in a type of fantasy prison (similar to fantasy football) but instead bets about inmates and what behavior they will display. I wouldn't put it past some judges to be betting which of you they will see back, which of you will be criminals before this is over, which of you will ultimately end up losing even more rights and time with your child, and even be labeled a felon and go to jail.
This is serious stuff and your rights are not something to take lightly. You will spend thousands and thousands of dollars on this stuff if you are not careful. Your rights also create a protective shield from this extortion as well. Don't use your rights and they can cost you anything they want to. They will tell you to get others involved to help the court make the best interest determination for your child. These court-appointed experts are called Guardian ad litems, amicus, child attoirneys, court-appointed advisors, parenting facilitators, and parenting coordinators, to name a few. You can also have court-ordered therapy, court-ordered counseling, court-ordered co-parenting sessions, court-ordered reunification, and the list goes on.
Bottomline: Learn your rights, use them, or risk being driven out of your child's life and driven into bankruptcy, and possibly homeless, jobless, and completely destitute.
2. My judge says that because family law is not a criminal court the protections under the Constitution don't apply the same because family courts are courts of equity/probate/civil courts and are contract/complaints and monetary recovery courts.
Look at the answer to question #1 and we repeat "Your fundamental rights protections don't just go away because you step into a family courtroom." Family law court is a civil court, the constitution strongly protects civil rights. Due process applies in civil courts. The Rules of Civil Procedure apply in civil courts, and your judge is bullshitting you so they can take advantage of you.
Everyone who works in the courts can make a whole lot of money if they make you believe you have no protections. When someone is attacking your right to be with your child you'll do just about anything to protect your right to be with your child.
3. I was told the constitution doesn't apply to family court at all.
This is not true. Many family courts like to say that they are equity courts and so the constitution does not bind them. ) If your family court is still calling itself a "court of equity" then you should not fall for that. They cannot be acting under equity when there are statutes directing their use of judicial discretion. They only use equity when there is no statute.
The constitution is controlling in all 50 states and its territories. Your rights under the constitution are protected under the Fourteenth Amendment. And the judges have taken an oath under the Sixth Amendment to apply the constitution.
Whoever is telling you that the constitution doesn't apply to their court is either lying or ignorant. The constitution applies to all courts. It doesn't matter if it is an administrative court, civil or criminal court.
This is also a way to cost you more money. If they do not apply the constitutional protections then they can make you fight over things that otherwise might have been protected. For instance, you don't have to fight over how much time each parent gets, the constitution requires a balancing test be used to determine what process is due with fundamental rights. The test to use is the Mathews test. This test requires three steps: 1. Identifying the private rights at issue 2. What are the risks of erroneously infringing those rights 3. The rights weighed against the government's specific asserted interests. Apply these guidelines and you will see that there is so much that they cannot impose on you. This is your silver bullet. And you can find more on how we apply this test in our motions package.
4. My attorney says the state statutes say the opposite of what you are saying about my rights in family court.
The states are getting it wrong. Statutes are proven to be incorrect all the time. Troxel v. Granville was a Supreme Court case that overturned a statute because the statute didn't consider the preference of the parent. We believe that this opinion, while it has helped to bring attention to the fact that parental rights do receive protection from wholesale state infringement, the case opinion left a lot open and so the state continue to find ways to violate your parental rights.
Appellate opinions typically only address the issues that they need to address to resolve the case. So if the appellate court can resolve the case without getting into more details on rights or without getting into all of the constitutional issues that were raised, they will. Some cases however will contain dicta within the opinion. This is a judge expressing their opinion on something that is not controlling. They just felt that it was an opportunity to express their thoughts on a particular issue. Many people including attorneys and judges will use this dicta to support their positions and so if you and your attorney don't know any better you might think that their arguments are supported and that you are screwed and have to give in.
Family law courts are terrible about this. They use the dicta out of Troxel all the time to say that best interest of the child is a proper standard.
5. I was told that in these courts attorneys are not a necessity, juries are not afforded and burden of proof is on you to prove and not the courts.
You always have the right to an attorney. The state does not have to provide one in all instances.
Juries are required for criminal matters and they don't require them in quasi-criminal matters necessarily. It depends on how fair the procedure is. We just wrote a form of this argument in our child support motion. The principle is the same even if you are not talking about child support. If they are violating your rights based on past conduct it is quasi-criminal. It is a

Nekton Bio 750 gr stimulates the growth of the plumage
Nekton Bio 750 g Stimulator of the growth of the plumage activating the metabolism, for optimal renewal
Nekton Bio for the growth of the plumage. Especially indicated for the moult, or to correct problems of plumage, Nekton Bio is a prepared special that stimulates the growth of feathers, prevents the pecking of own feathers caused by nutritional deficiencies and ensures the formation of a plumage full and balanced.
Manage during the period of the annual molt. It should be used in the case of seedlings accidental, loss of plumage caused by the bird or the birth of feathers deformed.
The process of growth of the plumage is very complex. However, it is very important that each bird has a plumage intact.
The plumage does not only provide a beautiful gown to its owner and allows him to recognize the members of its own species, but rather allows it to blend in with their surroundings and hide as well from their enemies. Malnutrition carries many consequences. Often the feathers sick or the loss of feathers is due to the lack of important vitamins and amino acids, that the one and the other exert a considerable influence on the growth and development of the feathers. The silent French of the parakeets, a clear example of a lack of protein in the chyle of the crop of the parents.
Trace elements, vitamins and amino acids are also necessary in cases of disturbances in the growth of feathers such as loss of feathers or the birth of feathers deformed. If a bird peck its feathers can be due to psychological reasons, which often are solved with a major change of the environment. However, again convieneenqiquecer the diet with vitamins, amino acids and minerals.
NEKTON BIO is a prepared special that stimulates the growth of the feathers. Should always be used in cases of abnormalities of plumage or of injury due to lack of food. After the research, we have obtained a preparation that contains protein, vitamins A and E, biotin and a high percentage of amino acids (lysine, arginine, and methionine).
All these substances have a capital importance in the growth of the feathers. In addition to these substances Nekton Bio contains 13 important vitamins, 6 trace elements, calcium and other essential elements required for the well-being and the health of your bird.
Mode of use: as a powder soluble in cold water, Nekton-Bio can be added to the water of the fountain or the soft food without any inconvenience whatsoever. So your bird to benefit from essential vitamins:
- Never exceed the daily dose.
- Must be used on a daily basis.
- Must be added to the water or the food. The spoon included in the container has room for 1 g of Nekton Bio. Add 1 teaspoon rasera per 250 ml. of water.
If you have only one or two birds, practice a small hole in the aluminium cap and drop a small amount on the water of the fountain or on the food. A small amount is very effective. For Nekton Bio to take effect it must be administered over a long period of time, which depends on the species of bird in question.
In the case of serious injury to the feathers, we advise to double or triple the dose of Nekton-Bio until they start to appear feathers new.
- Nekton-Bio should not be used during incubation as this can be interrupted because of an unbridled instinct of mating by the male.
- After using Nekton-bio successfully it would be advisable to continue with another prepared as Nekton S, to help prevent the occurrence of injuries or diseases due to deficiencies related to food.
- Keep in a cool, dry and dark. In a see unopened and stored under appropriate conditions, vitamins contained in Nekton Bio do not lose their properties until the expiry date.
- As this supplement contains more vitamins D and trace elements that the I think full, only should be added to the 10% of the ration daily to the ave.
- As with all products rich in protein, special attention must be paid to hygiene when Nekton-Bio is added to the water in the drinking fountain. The solution should be changed daily, but prior to the drinking fountain or water dispenser must be cleaned and disinfected thoroughly.
Analysis: Vitamin A, vitamin D3, vitamin E (DL-alpha-tocopherol acetate), thiamine hydrochloride (Vit. B1), riboflabina (Vit. B2), D-calcium pantothenate, nicotinamide, pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vit. B6), folic acid, vitamin B12, ascorbic acid (Vit. C), sodium bisulfate of menadione (Vit. K3), biotin, iron (ferrous sulfate), zinc (zinc sulfate), manganese (manganese sulphate), copper (copper sulfate), iodine (iodate calcium), cobalt (cobalt sulphate), Moisture Content: - 13 Vitamins. - 6 Trace elements. - 18 Amino acids. complementosparaaves.com

Demons of Domesticity offers a social history of the English gas industry from the 1880s to the late 1930s, with an emphasis on the corporations that served London and the Home Counties. It documents the hitherto unexamined role that women played in the development of the industry by considering two major interlocking themes: the expansion of sales occupations for women in the English gas industry, and the parallel growth and diversification of the industry's marketing strategies. During the late-nineteenth century, the home became the focal point for a number of debates concerning female employment and gender roles. As an increasing number of labour saving domestic devices came onto the market women found themselves targeted by manufacturing companies and utility suppliers, both as consumers and advocates. Foremost among these companies were representatives of the gas industry who actively addressed domestic issues. As the promoters, purveyors and consumers of domestic technology, Demons of Domesticity suggests that English female employees and consumers were not the hapless dupes of corporate marketing, but instead had clear ideas about how domestic technology could and should be used to reconfigure the public and private spaces of work and home.

Octopus Deploy Documentation
Build versions and packaging in Team Build
Last updated
Correctly versioning the packages you deploy with Octopus Deploy is important so the right version gets deployed at the right time. With Azure DevOps and Team Foundation Server (TFS), specifying a package version isn't always straightforward.
This guide shows you how best to version your builds and packages in Azure DevOps and TFS, whether you're using OctoPack, or the Octopus Extension in the Visual Studio Marketplace.
Build numbers in Team Build
In Team Build (the build system in Azure DevOps and TFS), build numbers may be in a format that doesn't represent a valid SemVer number.
For example, Microsoft's Build Number format documentation gives an example: $(TeamProject)_$(BuildDefinitionName)_$(SourceBranchName)_$(Date:yyyyMMdd)$(Rev:.r) will result in a version number like Fabrikam_CIBuild_master_20090805.2.
While this is a valid Team Build build number, it can cause issues when trying to pack the build output into a NuGet package or zip file for Octopus.
Packages used by Octopus must conform to SemVer 1.0 or 2.0 depending on the version of Octopus you're using.
The link above explains versioning in detail, but in its simplest form it means two things:
 1. Numbered versions in 3 or 4 segments that can be interpreted as major.minor.patch, with an optional "prerelease tag" afterwards in the form -tag.
 2. Versions can be sorted predictably. For example, 1.2.3 is newer than 1.2.0.
As you can see, a package version of Fabrikam_CIBuild_master_20090805.2 won't be valid will cause issues!
Setting a SemVer-compliant build number
The recommendations below generally rely on the build number itself being SemVer compliant. To do this, you can change the build number format.
Our recommended build number format is: x.y.$(BuildID) where x and y are integers. You can change them when you want to bump a version. This format will produce a three-part version number like 1.2.350.
Recommended Build format
If you have a build for a separate branch, it's a good idea to add the version tag. For example: x.y.$(BuildID)-feature-1 will produce a version number like 1.2.350-feature1. Even better, you can use the $(Build.SourceBranchName) variable to set it to the branch name.
The only downside of this numbering format is the $(BuildID) variable always increases, and does so at the Project Collection level. That means it doesn't reset when you increment your major and minor versions, and if you have multiple builds in your Collection, numbers will be skipped.
Other extensions such as gitversion can also be used to easily get SemVer compliant build numbers.
Packaging in Team Build
There are two standard ways to package your build output in Team Build. The first is to use OctoPack, and the second is to use the build tasks in the Octopus marketplace extension.
You can mix and match these two methods. For example, you might prefer to use OctoPack and the /p:RunOctoPack MS Build argument, but then use the Push and Create Release tasks from the extension.
Octopack and.NET Core
Octopack is not compatible with.NET core and we suggest using the extension instead.
Versioning when using OctoPack
Unless told otherwise, OctoPack will attempt to set the package version itself. You can see exactly how it tries to find a version on this documentation page.
More often than not, the version number will come from the [assembly: AssemblyVersion] attribute found in the AssemblyInfo.cs file (usually in the Properties folder of your project).
The assembly version number doesn't always behave the way we want. It may not change, and if it does, it may not change sequentially.
Setting the AssemblyVersion number to x.y.* will fix the two most common problems here. A version like 1.0.* will result in an always-increasing version number.
 1. If the version number is fixed (e.g., Octopus will complain that the package number already exists.
 2. If the version number only changes "revision" number (e.g. 1.0.0.*), numbers can repeat.
One problem remains - particularly for web projects. If you only change content files, triggering a new build won't update the version number because Team Build realizes no compilable code has changed. OctoPack won't get a new version number!
OctoPack recommendation
To solve all these issues, we recommend using the /p:OctoPackPackageVersion argument when using OctoPack. This lets you specify the version directly, and you can use build variables to specify the version number.
 1. Set the build definition build number format (described above) to a valid SemVer version.
 2. Add the appropriate /p:OctoPackPackageVersion MSBuild argument:
 - In the new build engine (Azure DevOps and from TFS 2015 onwards): /p:OctoPackPackageVersion=$(Build.BuildNumber)
 - In the older XAML-based builds: /p:OctoPackPackageVersion=$(TF_BUILD_BUILDNUMBER). You may also need to do some extra work for certain build definitions.
You can use the additional MSBuild arguments for OctoPack to give yourself more control over the packaging process.
Versioning when using the Octopus build tasks
If you're using the new Octopus Deploy extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace, you'll have access to a new Package Application build task.
Package application build task
This task does not provide you with a default version number - this is something you have to set yourself. Clearly it wouldn't be feasible to change this value every time you do a build, so we recommend you make use of the build variables that Team Build provides.
Build and Release variables can be found in the Microsoft Documentation, but the more useful ones include:
 - $(Build.BuildNumber) - This is the full build number (see above for setting an appropriate format).
 - $(Build.BuildID) - This is a unique, incrementing ID at the Project collection level. Every new build will give you a new number.
 - $(Build.SourceBranchName) - this is the last path segment in the name of the branch. For example, a branch of refs/heads/master will return master.
Build task recommendation
There are two options we recommend for specifying a version number to the Package Application task.
 1. Use a combination of static values and variables directly. For example, 1.0.$(Build.BuildID) will always give you a new version number.
 2. Use the full build number, and format that number appropriately as described above.
We recommend the second option for a few reasons.
First, it's very easy to match the build to the package because they'll have the same number, and secondly, if you have multiple pack steps, you only need to change a single version number.
Specifying the files to pack and push
One of the frequent causes of issues when using the Octopus build tasks is properly specifying the folders to pack and the NuGet package to push. Especially if you're using the hosted build server, it can be hard to figure out where everything ends up when the build is running.
Rather than guessing, it can be helpful to specify these folders specifically. Again, there are some useful build variables you can make use of.
 - $(Build.SourcesDirectory) - the location of your source before it gets built.
 - $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory) - A staging location for artifacts - useful for output files you want to use later (e.g. Nuget files).
 1. Use the /p:outdir= MSBuild argument in your compile step to specify where the compiled code should end up.
 2. In the Package Application step, put the location from step 1 into the Source Path field.
 3. In the Package Application step, put a new location into the Output Path field.
 4. In the Push Package(s) to Octopus step, specify the full path and filename from step 3 above.
By way of example, here's a nicely-configured set of build, pack, and push steps.

Drawing 2: Conjectural drawing of Almy, Brown,
and Slater's Mill, 1793.
Many factors influenced factory design. When the first mills in the Boott millyard were constructed in the 1830s, they reflected the standard type of factory construction for the times. Drawing 3 and Photo 1 show similar views of the Boott millyard approximately 75 years apart. Several of the original freestanding Boott mills appear to the left in Drawing 3. Secondary buildings, the canal, and boardinghouses for workers appear to the right.
Questions for Drawings 2, 3, & Photo 1
1. Many Americans were influenced by negative public opinion about industry in the early years of the Industrial Revolution. Which of the two mill designs shown in Drawings 2 and 3 do you feel would blend into the existing American landscape better and be a less threatening industrial form? Explain.
2. Based on what you already know, which type of mill looks as if it would better withstand machinery vibrations and better guard against fire? Explain.
3. What reasons can you give for constructing larger mills like those shown in Drawing 3?
4. Compare and contrast Drawing 3 and Photo 1. What features shown in the drawing do you see in the photo? What are some of the changes that appear to have taken place over time?
5. What evidence of a new source of power for the Boott Mills can be detected in Photo 1?
* The images on the screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high resolution version of Drawing 2, Drawing 3, & Photo 1, but be aware that each will take about 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

High Flying Bugs
Have you ever wondered what altitude insects reach when flying in the sky? Although there is much to be learned about insect physiology and how it handles high altitudes, scientists have developed a few techniques that help determine the height that certain insects can reach.
By putting bumblebees into a chamber that mimics high altitudes researchers found that bumblebees can reach altitudes as high a mount everest, which is almost 30,000 feet. This is an impressive height when you consider that the highest flying bird reaches 37,000 feet. Flies and butterflies can even reach heights of just under 20,000 feet.
However, higher altitudes means thinner air, and that means that flying insects will have to flap their wings much faster since the small amount of molecules in the air make it harder for wings to take advantage of lift. But the bumblebees will change the way they flap their wings to adapt to the change in oxygen. By studying the way insects fly at high altitudes we can learn more about engineering mechanisms of human flight.
Do you think that learning about how insects fly at extremely high altitudes could help humans develop more sophisticated airborne vehicles?

JACK-IN-THE-PULPIT; INDIAN TURNIP (ARISAEMA TRIPHYLLUM)
Jack-in-the-pulpit is not widespread in Nova Scotia, but can be found in rich soil in woodlands, thickets, ditches, and low-lying streamsides. It is an unusual wildflower in appearance. Leaflets are in threes, above which a spathe arises. This green and white striped hood obscures the spadix carrying the flowers, or Jack. The fruit are clusters of red berries.
The corms were once dried and ground as a coarse flour; apparently, this processing renders harmless the oxalate crystals, which normally cause poisoning symptoms when the plant is eaten.
The greatest concentration of the toxin occurs in the leaves.
Calcium oxalate, a compound derived from oxalic acid, as well as enzymes that trigger the release of histamine in the bloodstream of persons who ingest the leaves. Oxalates are needle-like crystals, which, when eaten, may pierce the mouth, throat, and digestive tract as they pass through, causing, at the very least, intense discomfort.
TYPICAL POISONING SCENARIO
The main problem lies with infants, toddlers, or pets who, once attracted to the showy flowers and foliage, may nibble on the leaves. If arums are kept out of curious mouths, there is little further risk, as they are quite safe to handle.
Even small doses of oxalate toxin is enough to cause intense sensations of burning in the mouth and throat, swelling, and choking.
In larger doses, oxalate causes severe digestive upset, breathing difficulties, and—if enough is consumed—convulsions, coma, and death. Recovery from severe oxalate poisoning is possible, but permanent liver and kidney damage may have occurred.
JACK-IN-THE-PULPIT; INDIAN TURNIP POISON INFORMATION
Oxalates are unstable salts of oxalic acid. When eaten, they break down to release the highly poisonous acid.
The sour flavour of sorrel (Rumex species), wood sorrel (Oxalis), and even rhubarb is due to the presence of the acid.
Some plants may contain differing amounts of potassium or calcium salts, rendering them unsafe, particularly in the buckwheat and goosefoot families.

℞ 7: Get character number by name
Unicode allows you to refer to characters by number or by name. Computers don't care, but humans do. When you have a character name, you can translate it to its number with the charnames pragma:
use charnames (); my $number = charnames::vianame("GREEK CAPITAL LETTER SIGMA");
This is, of course, the opposite of Get Character Names by Number.
See Characters and Their Numbers to translate from this number to the appropriate character.

3 Types of Water Conditioning Systems
There are 3 types of water conditioning systems. A water conditioner is simply a general term for a system that changes the water quality for the better in some way. Different types of water conditioner systems have the ability to filter and remove chlorine, which in turn, improves taste of the water.
1. CARBON FILTRATION
A carbon filtration system is a filter with granular activated carbon, or GAC. GAC is proven to remove certain chemicals from water, mostly organic. GAC also removes other chemicals, like hydrogen sulfide and chlorine, that cause strange odors or taste in the water. GAC is naturally made, usually from coconut shells or coal, or other material high in carbon. When the carbon within these materials is activated that is was removes the chemicals.
2. EASY TYPE OR SPACE AGE SYSTEMS
Easy type or space age systems use electromagnetic metal coils to reduce concentrations of of calcium, magnesium and other contaminants susceptible to magnetism. These magnetic coils are fixated along the sides of the filter bed, and can only filter water that comes within direct contact of the magnetic field. When the water runs through and makes contact with the sides of the filter that are charged by the electromagnetic coils, the particles are pulled into the magnetic field inside the filter. Once the filter bed is filled with contaminants and particles, it flushed them out. These types of water conditioners require very low maintenance, with the average lifespan of a filter bed being 40 years. With that being said, little is known or proven about the effectiveness of these filters.
3. CATALYTIC MEDIA
Filters that use catalytic medias are also called salt-free water softeners. Because these conditioners do not use salt, they reduce the amount of sodium in your water and prevents damage to your appliances and fixtures. These filters use a process referred to as Template Assisted Crystallization or TAC.
During TAC, the calcium and magnesium in your water go through a chemical reaction that changes them into hardness crystals. The crystals can't stick to surfaces, which then reduces limescale build up and hard water spots in your home. That being said, salt-free water softeners do not remove hard water minerals found in your water, they only change the chemical structure.

Putting the squeeze on sand will expand understanding of soil mechanics
Mechanics of Granular Materials Putting the squeeze on sand will
expand understanding of soil mechanics
January 6, 1998: What do a brick of vacuum-packed coffee, land under houses in San Francisco, powdered makeup, and tire tracks on Mars have in common?
They all behave according to laws of granular materials which we don't yet fully understand. To get a better grip on what happens when the ground shifts - under a house during an earthquake, or under the wheels of a rover exploring Mars - NASA this month will refly the Mechanics of Granular Materials (MGM) experiment to expand investigations started on STS-79 in 1996. On STS-89, scheduled for launch Jan. 22, MGM will run twice as many tests as it did in its first flight, and under a new range of experimental conditions.
Knowledge from the MGM experiments will be applied in virtually any field that involves powders or granular materials, including the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, mining, land conservation and management, and planetary exploration.
While scientists have experimented with soil mechanics for decades, some aspects remain out of reach on Earth. The behavior of soils under low-confining pressures, where the soil acts like a liquid, is difficult to study under 1-g conditions on Earth. Under the low-g conditions of space, MGM provides a new range of test conditions, including conditions like those experienced by some soils during an earthquake.

Expected Life of Pulse Discharge Capacitors
Pulse discharge operation, particularly with underdamped (ringing) discharges, places large internal stresses on components. Empirical expressions have been developed to predict the life of a pulse discharge capacitor under conditions other than the nominal design. For instance, in an article by K. Salisbury, S. Lloyd, and Y.G. Chen at Maxwell Laboratories, "A transportable 50 KA Dual Mode Lightning Simulator", the following equation is given.
Lx = Lref * (Qref/Qx)^1.6 * (Vref/Vx)^7.5
x subscript refers to the application
ref subscript refers to the reference data
L is the expected life (in shots),
Q is the discharge waveform Q
V is the capacitor charge voltage.
Note that capacitor voltage is the most important life determinant, with a 7.5 exponent. A little reduction in voltage leads to a huge increase in life.
Voltage reversal also has a significant impact. When the voltage reverses, the mechanical stresses on the capacitor are quite high.
Application Example
For instance, a Maxwell type 31162, is rated at 100,000 shots at 75 kV with 20% VR. (20% VR is Q = 1.4)
Now, we want to know the life in a Tesla coil at 90% reversal (a Q of 15) and a peak voltage of 42 kV. Applying the above formula:
Lx = 1E5 * ( 1.4/15)^1.6 * (75/42)^7.5 = 1E5 *.0225 * 77.37 = 1.74E5 shots.
reducing the voltage to 30 kV would increase the life by (42/30)^7.5 or 12.5 times.
If this were in a Tesla coil at 120 bps, at 42 kV, it would survive (90% probability) about 24 minutes of run time. Reducing the voltage to 30 kV would increase the life to 300 minutes, or 5 hours. Reducing the peak voltage to 20 kV is even more effective, increasing the life to 100 hours. Killing the Q down to 10 would increase the life by (15/10)^1.6 some 90 percent.
Capacitors rated for high repetition rates are necessarily overdesigned. Comparing two units from Maxwell Labs:
If the high reprate capacitor (with a 1000 times the life) were scaled to the capacity of the low rep rate unit, it would be about 5 times the size of the low rep rate unit. A life factor of 1000 can be achieved by increasing the rated voltage by about 2.5 times. This would require about 6.25 times the total capacitance arranged in a series parallel configuration, which correlates well with the physical size increase factor of 5.
Q and Voltage Reversal
(these need to be verified, particularly at low Q's)
Q or voltage reversal (VR) may be computed from each other by:
Q = sqrt( 1 + 1 /( 2 /pi*ln(VR))^2)
VR = exp( - pi/2 * sqrt(1/(q^2-1)))
where VR is the voltage reversal expressed as a fraction (i.e. 0


What Is a Security Deposit?
Learn the basics of a security deposit, the purpose it serves before tenant moves in, and if there are any state laws regarding security deposits protecting landlords and tenants.
What is a security deposit?
A security deposit is a sum of money that landlords require tenants to pay before they move in; the purpose is to have a financial backup if a tenant fails to pay rent or damages the rental property. Most states set a dollar limit, such as one or two months' rent, on how much a landlord can collect as a deposit. States typically require landlords to return the deposit by a specified deadline after a tenant moves out, along with an itemization of deposit deductions for unpaid rent or the cost of repairing damages to the rental unit. A tenant may not use a security deposit as last month's rent, unless the landlord agrees or the lease or rental agreement states that the deposit may be used this way. Finally, a deposit is typically refundable; in fact, some states, such as California, specifically prohibit landlords from charging nonrefundable fees, while others, including Arizona, allow certain types of nonrefundable fees, such as for cleaning or pets.

While the REVEAL study sought to understand staff facilitation in general, it was carried out in the context of exhibits that focused on math. In order to conduct a rigorous study, the team had to define the kind of mathematical reasoning we hoped to see and develop instruments to reliably measure it.
Measuring Functional Reasoning, Math Awareness, and Math Enjoyment
The REVEAL team created an overall framework for investigating visitors' functional reasoning, consisting of four dimensions: (a) identifying mathematical quantities, (b) describing mathematical relationships, (c) exploring mathematical relationships, and (d) achieving mathematical goals. The rubrics for each exhibit were based on this framework and were used to code videos of families at the exhibits. The team also developed survey instruments to measure families' enjoyment of the mathematics and awareness of the mathematics in the exhibit.

Six Speeches on the Subject of NAWAPA & National Resources
To better understand the significance of NAWAPA 1964, LaRouchePAC presents to you The Memory of JFK, by means of six speeches on the subject of national resources. In this period of national amnesia, and on the eve of general war to which our nation is being dragged by this same amnesia, remember our last expression of national pride, John F. Kennedy; remember through these films a legacy which is your own, even if you are unaware of that fact.
In this video from the National Archives, President Kennedy continues to emphasize the economic principles of constantly acting toward the next higher step of growth, in order to move ahead in the present.
And now, the Memory of JFK, starting with three speeches from his 1962 trip to the Western United States.
'A Platform for a New Presidency: The Full Recovery Program for the United States'
"Man's dependency on an adequate supply of fresh water is an indisputable fact. It is equally a fact that there is an insufficiency of such water and that this insufficiency has been particularly felt in the Western United States. Many efforts have been and are continuing to be made to solve the problem of limited water supply, and although great strides have been achieved, so great is the problem and so important its solution that it now has become imperative that consideration be given to what at one time seemed unachievable proposals. The time has passed during which this problem can be solved through traditionally local or piece-meal approaches. The solution must be equal in magnitude to the problem."
– Senator Frank E. Moss, Chairman, Special Subcommittee on Western Water Development 1964: Audio Transcript
EIR Magazine Volume 12, Number 3, January 15,1985 Listen to this professional transcript reading from an interview with Senator Frank Moss by interviewer Nick Benton where Senator Moss discusses the plan to revive the water from Alaska to make U.S. dry regions flourish.
Frank Moss, a former Democratic senator from Utah, during the 1960s spearheaded the U.S. Senate's investigation of the feasibility of a plan known as the North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA),
originally developed by the Ralph Parsons Company of California, for bringing water from Canada and Alaska to the United States.
2. Parsons Engineer Presentation
In this audio our narrator reads from a transcript address by Senator Moss on behalf of the engineering firm Parsons Company in which he presents Parsons Comapny and the NAWAPA concept, including all aspects of concept, feasability, design, construction, economics, time frames and more. Listen!
3. The NAWAPA ACT
Enjoy this interesting audio reading from a transcript covering the topic of the NAWAPA XXI ACT. This is an ACT to bring a vast untapped source of water for the agricultural, industrial and municipal needs to the Great American desert area of North America, and construct such a system of water management as will be of great benerfit to all three nations, the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Fresnel mirrors[frā′nel ′mir·ərz]
(also Fresnel bimirror), two plane mirrors that form a dihedral angle a few angular minutes less than 180° used for the observation of the phenomenon of the interference of coherent light beams; proposed by A. J. Fresnel in 1816.
When the mirrors I and II (see Figure 1) are illuminated by a source S, the beams of rays reflected from them may be considered to have originated from coherent sources S1, and S2, which are virtual images of S. Interference occurs in the region where the beams cross. If S is linear (a slit) and parallel to the edge of the Fresnel mirrors, then upon illumination by monochromatic light the interference picture in the form of parallel slits of evenly spaced dark and light bands or fringes is observed on the screen M, which can be set up anywhere in the region where the beams cross. The wavelength of the light can be determined from the distance between the bands. Experiments conducted with Fresnel mirrors were one of the crucial proofs of the wave nature of light.
