Seismic Response of Structures with Buckling-Restrained Braces
Journal of the Computational Structural Engineering Institute of Korea, volume 15, issue 2, 2002, Pages 197~207
Energy dissipation capacity and earthquake responses of steel structures installed with unbonded braces(UB) were investigated. Parametric studies were performed for a single-degree-of-freedom structure under harmonic loads, and optimum yield strength of unbonded braces were derived. Nonlinear dynamic time history analyses were carried out to investigate the seismic response of multi-story model structures with UB having various size and strength. Various techniques were applied to determine proper story-wise distribution of UB in multi-story structures. The analysis results show that the maximum displacements of structures generally decrease as the stiffness of UB increases. However for some natural frequencies and seismic loads the maximum displacement and accumulated damage increases as the stiffness of UB increases.
Modal Analysis of the Vector Triggering Random Decrement Function
Journal of the Computational Structural Engineering Institute of Korea, volume 15, issue 2, 2002, Pages 209~218
The Vector Random Decrement technique has been developed as an efficient method for transforming ambient responses into free decays of linear structures. It is shown that the VRD functions nay contain as much information about the modes as the really measured free decay responses. In this paper, the theory of the VRD technique is extended by applying the concept of the mode shape ratio into the Ibrahim Time Domain modal parameter identification algorithm. The VRD function is not shifted in the correction procedures for constant time shifts of the proposed VRD technique. Thus, a number of points equal to the largest of the time shifts used in the vector triggering condition are not deleted. In the VRD functions, any influence of the input to the system is averaged out. The proposed technique is compared with the traditional VRD technique by assessment of the modal parameters. The applicability of the VRD technique has been justified through a simulation study and a study of the response of a laboratory beam model subject to ambient loads.
Structural Response of Underground LNG Storage Tank (Parameter Study for Design Conditions)
Journal of the Computational Structural Engineering Institute of Korea, volume 15, issue 2, 2002, Pages 219~235
This paper deals with parametric studies of the structural response of underground LNG storage tanks according to change in design conditions. In the design of underground LNG storage tank, it is requited to determine the optimal tank shape and dimension to represent a more improved structural behavior under many loading conditions and load combinations. Consequently, main factors which affect to the structural response of LNG storage tanks from planning and design up to maintenance, are investigated, and the differences in structural behavior due to those factors are analyzed. On the basis of the obtained results item parametric studies, a guideline for a more reasonable design is introduced.
Efficient Analysis of Shear Walls with Openings
Journal of the Computational Structural Engineering Institute of Korea, volume 15, issue 2, 2002, Pages 237~249
The wall system that is composed only of reinforced concrete walls and slabs is adopted on many high-rise apartment buildings recently constructed. In the apartment buildings, a shear wall may have one or mote openings for functional reasons. Many researches on the analysis of shear wall with openings were performed. But, some restrictions prevent those research results being applied to practical analysis and design procedure. It is necessary to use subdivided finite elements lot accurate analysis of the wall system with openings. But it would cost tremendous amount of analysis time and computer memory if the entire building structure is subdivided into a finer mesh. An efficient analysis method which can be used regardless of the number, size and location of openings is proposed in this study. The analysis method uses super element, matrix condensation technique and fictitious beam technique. Analyses of example structures having various types of openings were performed to verify the efficiency of proposed method. It was confirmed that the proposed method have outstanding accuracy with drastically reduced time and computer memory from the analyses of example structures.
Control of Prestressing Forces in a Splicing Method using the Partial Post-tensioning and Releasing Procedure
Journal of the Computational Structural Engineering Institute of Korea, volume 15, issue 2, 2002, Pages 251~259
A new splicing technique by the secondary moment which is intentionally induced by the tensioning effect of continuous tendons and the releasing effect of temporary beam tendons was developed. The tensioning and releasing works are essential and the decisions of the magnitude and order about them may be important engineering problems in this technique. In this paper, it was studied lot the practically optimum procedure of the tensioning and releasing works. As the result, it is concluded that the gradual progress through the three stages is reasonable for the procedure and the tensioning work have to precede the releasing work. Additionally, the magnitude of preceding tensioning force should be obtained by the sensitivity analysis and the minimum limit is more critical than the minimum limit.
System for Preliminary Structural Design using Multi-Level Neural Networks
Journal of the Computational Structural Engineering Institute of Korea, volume 15, issue 2, 2002, Pages 261~270
The use of ANN is appropriate to computerize the information and knowledge used in the preliminary design stage where it lacks of formality of representation of designers' experience and intuition. Considering that there exists very little design information in preliminary design stage to start with, the ANN model for this stage must be designed to have input much less than output. However, this situation usually causes various problems such as in teaming time, convergence and reliability of solutions. To address this problem, this paper proposes multi-level neural networks lot progressive structural design considering that all the design information can not be obtained at a time but we growing gradually. The use of multi-level networks developed in this paper has been proved its validity by applying it to the preliminary design of cable-stayed bridges.
Lateral Drift Control and Resizing Technique for Tall Buildings using Lateral-Stiffness Influence Matrix
Journal of the Computational Structural Engineering Institute of Korea, volume 15, issue 2, 2002, Pages 271~279
This study develops the module to find the lateral stiffness influence matrix of each story and performs the displacement sensitivity analysis by virtual load method for the efficiency of optimal design using lateral stiffness influence matrix. Also, resizing technique based on the estimated lateral stiffness increment factors is developed to apply directly the results of optimal design. To this end, resizing technique is divided into the continuous and discrete section design methods. And then the relationships between section properties and section size are established. Specifically, an initial design under strength constraints is first performed, and then the lateral load resistant system is designed to control lateral displacements yet exceeding the drift criteria. Two types of 45-story three dimensional structures we presented to illustrate the features of the lateral drift control and resizing technique for tall buildings proposed in this study.
Development of DCOC Algorithm Considering the Variation of Effective Depth in the Optimum Design of PRC Continuous Beam
Journal of the Computational Structural Engineering Institute of Korea, volume 15, issue 2, 2002, Pages 281~291
This paper describes the minimum cost design of prestressed reinforced concrete (PRC) hem with rectangular section. The cost of construction as objective function which includes the costs of concrete, prestressing steel, non prestressing steel, and formwork is minimized. The design constraints include limits on the minimum deflection, flexural and shear strengths, in addition to ductility requirements, and upper-Lower bounds on design variables as stipulated by the specification. The optimization is carried out using the methods based on discretized continuum-type optimality criteria(DCOC). Based on Kuhn-Tucker necessary conditions, the optimality criteria are explicitly derived in terms of the design variables - effective depth, eccentricity of prestressing steel and non prestressing steel ratio. The prestressing profile is prescribed by parabolic functions. In this paper the effective depth is considered to be freely-varying and one uniform for the entire multispan beam respectively. Also the maximum eccentricity of prestressing force is considered in every span. In order to show the applicability and efficiency of the derived algorithm, several numerical examples of PRC continuous beams are solved.
Efficient Vibration Analysis of Stadium Stands
Journal of the Computational Structural Engineering Institute of Korea, volume 15, issue 2, 2002, Pages 293~303
Recently, the use of the high strength materials and development of construction techniques have resulted in more flexible and longer spanning in the stadium systems. So the natural frequency of stadium structures are became low. Stadium stand could be led to significant dynamic response as like resonance due to spectator rhythmical activities. The accurate analysis of dynamic behavior of stadium systems and the precise investigation of the dynamic loads on stadium structures are demanded for effective design. It is desirable to apply measured dynamic loads created by spectator activities because these dynamic loads are not easy to express numerical formula. As the floor mesh of stadium stand is refined, the number of divided elements increases in numerical analysis. the rise of the number of elements makes the numbers of nodal points increased and numerous computer memory required. So it is difficult to analysis refine full model of stadium structures by

The Community Relations Service is the Department's "peacemaker" for community conflicts and tensions arising from differences of race, color, and national origin. Created by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, CRS is the only Federal agency dedicated to assist State and local units of government, private and public organizations, and community groups with preventing and resolving racial and ethnic tensions, incidents, and civil disorders, and in restoring racial stability and harmony.
With passage of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, CRS also works with communities to employ strategies to prevent and respond to alleged violent hate crimes committed on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion or disability. CRS facilitates the development of viable, mutual understandings and agreements as alternatives to coercion, violence, or litigation. It also assists communities in developing local mechanisms, conducting training, and other proactive measures to prevent racial/ethnic tension and violent hate crimes committed on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disability. CRS does not take sides among disputing parties and, in promoting the principles and ideals of non-discrimination, applies skills that allow parties to come to their own agreement. In performing this mission, CRS deploys highly skilled professional conciliators, who are able to assist people of diverse backgrounds.
For more than 45 years, CRS has been asked to provide its experienced mediators to help local communities resolve conflicts and disturbances relating to race, color, or national origin. Each year CRS' highly skilled conciliators bring hundreds of community-wide conflicts to peaceful closure across America and its territories.
CRS lends its services when requested or accepted by the parties. The Service uses impartial mediation practices and conflict resolution procedures to help local leaders resolve problems and restore stability. CRS has no law enforcement authority and does not impose solutions, investigate, prosecute, or assign blame and fault. All CRS mediators are required by law to conduct their activities in confidence, without publicity, and are prohibited from disclosing confidential information.
CRS conciliators work with State and local officials and community leaders to provide a wide variety of services to address racial issues and prevent violent hate crimes committed on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disability. CRS' services include:
- Contributing expertise and guidance on methods and policies that calm tension and conflicts associated with race, color, or national origin or with preventing and responding to violent hate crimes committed on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disability.
- Enhancing strategies of State and local governments and community groups to prevent and respond to civil disorders.
- Improving lines of communication between parties experiencing tension or conflict, including Federal, State, and local officials, community leaders and residents.
- Helping schools and universities effectively deal with incidents of tension or violence associated with race, color, or national origin or with preventing and responding to violent hate crimes committed on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disability.
CRS assists willing parties and explores opportunities to develop and implement local strategies that can help law enforcement, local officials, civil rights organizations, and interested community groups respond to alleged hate crimes and find ways to prevent future incidents.
State and local law enforcement officials and community leaders may contact CRS to request assistance in improving communication between law enforcement and community members in the aftermath of a hate crime. CRS may help facilitate dialogues between law enforcement and community members to increase mutual understanding about the investigative and prosecutorial process as well as the concerns of people in the community.
CRS improves community response mechanisms, by facilitating the development of community capacity to help prevent hate crimes with services and programs that include: conciliation, mediation, training, technical assistance, and other tension reduction techniques.
CRS may introduce the community to representatives of agencies that respond to hate crimes, including federal, state, and local law enforcement officials, local government resources as well as community organizations (advocacy organizations, and other service organizations).
CRS also responds to requests for assistance from law enforcement and community organizations for contingency planning and self-marshalling training before large protests or events to help keep events safe. We facilitate meetings between all parties involved, and serve as a neutral entity to ensure logistics are coordinated and that information is shared appropriately.

photo of people at a meetingHow to Pretest
Your choice of methods and level of intensity for pretesting should depend on the project and your available resources. For example, you may want to show printed materials to members of the target audience and get their feedback. This can be done informally with individual conversations, or more formally with focus groups.
Another form of pretesting is to pilot your program. This means you put the program into place with a small portion of the audience to see how it is received. If you pilot your program or any part of it, monitor feedback and reactions to make sure the program is performing as intended. Don't be afraid to make any necessary changes. Monitoring and evaluation are discussed further in phase 5.

A 29-year-old male with a history of Hodgkin's lymphoma present ed for evaluat ion of response t o chemotherapy with positron emission tomography/computed tomography using f luorine-18-f luoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (18 F-FDG PET/CT). Follow-up18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging demonstrated resolution of previously noted FDG avid axillary lymphadenopathy. However, multiple opacities with increased FDG uptake were noted in the lungs bilaterally, which were suspicious for pulmonary infection, including viral pneumonia. The patient tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVI D-19) vi r us i nfect ion by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Additional cycles of chemotherapy were delayed until the patient became negative for COVID-19 virus infection on follow-up RT-PCR test 2 weeks later. The patient received two additional cycles of chemotherapy. Follow-up18 F-FDG PET/CT post chemotherapy demonstrated a decrease in the size of the previously seen mediastinal lymphadenopathy, reduction of FDG uptake by the previously seen mediastinal lymphadenopathy, and reduction of FDG uptake by the previously seen pulmonary opacities, at 2 months after COVID-19 diagnosis. The findings of this case report demonstrated the importance of recognition of pulmonary abnormalities caused by COVID-19 pneumonia on 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging for clinical management of patients with lymphoma.

I have a real-world problem which I'll try to abstract into an illustrative example.
So imagine I have data objects in a tree, where parent objects can access children, and children can access parents:
// Interfaces
interface IParent { List Children; }
interface IChild { TParent Parent; }
// Classes
class Top : IParent {}
class Middle : IParent, IChild {}
class Bottom : IChild {}
// Usage
var top = new Top();
var middles = top.Children; // List
foreach (var middle in middles) {
 var bottoms = middle.Children; // List
 foreach (var bottom in bottoms) {
 var middle = bottom.Parent; // Access the parent
 var top = middle.Parent; // Access the grandparent
All three data objects have properties that are persisted in two data stores (e.g. a database and a web service), and they need to reflect and synchronise with the stores. Some objects only request from the web service, some only write to it.
Data Mapper
My favourite pattern for data access is Data Mapper, because it completely separates the data objects themselves from the communication with the data store:
class TopMapper {
 public Top FetchById(int id) {
 var top = new Top(DataStore.TopDataById(id));
 top.Children = MiddleMapper.FetchForTop(Top);
 return Top;
class MiddleMapper {
 public Middle FetchById(int id) {
 var middle = new Middle(DataStore.MiddleDataById(id));
 middle.Parent = TopMapper.FetchForMiddle(middle);
 middle.Children = BottomMapper.FetchForMiddle(bottom);
 return middle;
This way I can have one mapper per data store, and build the object from the mapper I want, and then save it back using the mapper I want.
There is a circular reference here, but I guess that's not a problem because most languages can just store memory references to the objects, so there won't actually be infinite data.
The problem with this is that every time I want to construct a new Top, Middle or Bottom, it needs to build the entire object tree within that object's Parent or Children property, with all the data store requests and memory usage that that entails. And in real life my tree is much bigger than the one represented here, so that's a problem.
Requests in the object
In this the objects request their Parents and Children themselves:
class Middle {
 private List _children = null; // cache
 public List Children {
 get {
 _children = _children?? BottomMapper.FetchForMiddle(this);
 return _children;
 set {
 BottomMapper.UpdateForMiddle(this, value);
 _children = value;
I think this is an example of the repository pattern. Is that correct?
This solution seems neat - the data only gets requested from the data store when you need it, and thereafter it's stored in the object if you want to request it again, avoiding a further request.
However, I have two different data sources. There's a database, but there's also a web service, and I need to be able to create an object from the web service and save it back to the database and then request it again from the database and update the web service.
This also makes me uneasy because the data objects themselves are no longer ignorant of the data source. We've introduced a new dependency, not to mention a circular dependency, making it harder to test. And the objects now mask their communication with the database.
Other solutions
Are there any other solutions which could take care of the multiple stores problem but also mean that I don't need to build / request all the data every time?

What language are you using? C#? – occulus Dec 3 '12 at 17:33
Btw I always find it strange when I hear someone saying "favourite pattern". It's like saying "I have a favourite hammer" -- different hammers are useful for different jobs. Forget about how cool the hammer is and recognise it as appropriate for certain jobs, and other hammers appropriate for different jobs, etc. – occulus Dec 3 '12 at 17:37
_USER_ but people do have favourite hammers, because with the proliferation of hammers out there, they can be similar but vary slightly. The same is true of design patterns. As there is no absolute authoritative source for all "approved" design patterns (not everything is in Gang of Four), there are loads of slightly different but very similar ones created by different communities. When I say my favourite I mean I think it's the neatest but I recognise other people have other opinions. It would be the same with a hammer. However I'm willing to accept if in this case my choice is just wrong – Robin Winslow Dec 4 '12 at 9:20
_USER_ I'm using C# in this case, but patterns should hopefully be language independent no? – Robin Winslow Dec 4 '12 at 9:21
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying any of the patterns you've mentioned are wrong per se, it was more just a case of hearing the phrase 'favourite pattern' really. But I see what you're getting at. – occulus Dec 4 '12 at 13:23

The undesirable part of your approach comes from having the data objects themselves unfreezing (loading, deserialising) themselves.
This is not a simple problem!
Ideally you want your data objects being quite simple, and some external agent being responsible for deserialising and serialising them using data that lives on disk, or on the network, etc.
One approach to this might use reflection and object introspection and fancy things like that.
Another approach might use to use "generic objects". A generic object can store an arbitrary amount of properties (i.e. fields/variables). Each field can be one of a few set types: int, string, byte array, reference to another generic object (that one is important), etc. So you can then model your data objects as generic objects.
The advantage of using "generic objects" is that you can then have a mechanism external (or super) to the generic object class through which its properties are accessed. This mechanism recognises when a field hasn't yet been loaded, and can fetch it from the appropriate source. It an also handle cache writing, e.g. fetching data from remote source, writing to to local cache.
The above is a very general sounding description, but it's not a trivial thing to implement so it might be hard to get any more specific without getting very verbose.

Also note that Core Data in iOS is an object grapher which handles lazy loading (faulting) -- your problem area is very similar to what Core Data addresses.
Core Data is an object graph and persistence framework provided by Apple [...] It allows data organised by the relational entity–attribute model to be serialised into XML, binary, or SQLite stores. The data can be manipulated using higher level objects representing entities and their relationships. Core Data manages the serialised version, providing object lifecycle and object graph management, including persistence.

I ended up sticking with the DataMapper pattern, but then changing my application:
For a long time I was using a builder to build up the complex object tree. But over time, I discovered that the inflexibility of this system made the code un-maintainable.
I now think that the problem of constructing objects where parent objects can access children and children can access parents is difficult for a good reason: because it's trying to create objects that are too tightly coupled to each other. Because of the tight coupling, it is impossible to create any objects without building up the entire tree.
What I ended up doing was restructuring the rest of my application to remove any hard dependencies, and instead including FetchForChild and FetchForParent methods on my DataMapper object, loosening the coupling.
This now works very well.

argument here. The statute in Yates, 18 USC 1519, has clear mens rea requirements. It prohibits "knowingly" engaging in certain conduct (including destroying or concealing any record, document, or tangible object) "with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence" a federal investigation. A case in which the government must prove an intent to obstruct justice is not a case in which "there is no rational reason to believe that conduct is wrong." Instead, Yates addressed whether a fish was a tangible object within the meaning of section 1519; the Court concluded 5-4 that it was not.

 It's an example, by way of a story that most people already know, of the ridiculousness of federal regulations. It wasn't mean to be an example of a regulation lacking a mens rea requirement. It's also an example of the fact that inclusion of the mens rea of knowing is neither unusual nor the end of the world if imposed externally by the new bill. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Epics are a theme of work that contains several issues, or sub-tasks. Epics and are the best way to group related issues together into larger goals that span sprints (typically 2-6 weeks).
The concept stems from the agile principle that tasks should be broken down into small, manageable chunks; that way, you're able to ship impactful changes more often and ultimately gain more control over the release cycle. In agile development, a "user story" is the smallest unit of work, and an epic is essentially a "big" user story. We do this in ZenHub by creating an epic to map out bigger goals, then adding related GitHub issues to flesh it out.
What's in an epic?
Three main concepts work together to form an epic. In agile, we know these as epics, user stories and sub-tasks. In GitHub and ZenHub these concepts are reflected as epics, GitHub issues, and markdown checklists.
But first, a note on ZenHub sprints and ZenHub epics. While they seem similar at first glance, their purpose is different. In fact, they function best when used together!
You can also learn more about agile concepts in GitHub and ZenHub to master your ZenHub workflow.
Epic or GitHub issue?
Not sure whether a GitHub issue should become an Epic instead? First, consider its complexity and the time it takes to complete a task. If an issue is too complicated (if multiple tasks are required to finish it), it's probably better as an epic. Splitting tasks into easily completed pieces of work will help you ship valuable changes more often and reduce technical debt. Also, issues should be completed in the smallest amount of time possible. If an issue will take weeks or months to finish, it should probably be an epic.
The difference between epics and sprints
One of our most common questions is how do sprints and epics interact. Sometimes they're even confused for one another. ZenHub sprints and epics aren't interchangeable; in fact, they work best when used together!
In an agile framework, a sprint is typically 2-4 weeks of work with a goal of shipping workable code by the end. These iterative changes are a cornerstone of agile development. Working in sprints move teams toward a goal of shipping business value (features) to the user. ZenHub sprints allow teams to automate their sprint planning process. Learn more here
Since sprints are tied to short iterations of work, they contain issues related by time, and not necessarily related by subject. The scope of work is fixed once a sprint begins.
In contrast, epics contain issues related in subject, and the scope is flexible. Issues can be added or removed as teams discover more about the bigger goal.
Epics are intended to give you a broad understanding of larger initiatives. When paired with ZenHub sprints, you're able to work towards these bigger goals in manageable iterations. This means you deliver more business value (e.g. workable code) more frequently. Pairing sprints with epics gives you a granular way to plan and achieve your product backlog. It clarifies both the big picture and the minute details that make it up, providing everything necessary to ship better projects faster.
Creating epics in ZenHub
To create epics in ZenHub, select the + icon next to the New Issue button located at the top right of the board. From here you can give your epic a title and description.
Adding issues to your epic
Once you have created an epic, the best way to add issues to your epic is by:
1. Using multi-action on the board
To use multi-action, hover over the avatar for any issue card on the board to select the Issue. From here, you can select as many issues as you'd like and then perform updates to those issues at once. Choose the Set Epic option to quickly add these issues to your epic:
2. Quickly creating new issues from the epic page
Select to view the epic on the Board. You can select the + icon located below the progress bars to quickly capture scope requirements for the epic:
Viewing your epic on the Board
Once created, you'll see epics on your board as they have some distinguishing factors:
1. A purple line down the left side of the epic card
2. A purple epic flag next to the assignee avatar
3. A epic label and a filter on the epic card (Filter by Epic Issues) that can be used to filter the board by all stories and tasks in that epic.
Quickly creating new issues directly from the epic page
When opening an epic page from the board, you'll get a new list view that will show all stories and tasks within the epic, which pipeline they are currently in, as well as associated information for these issues such as their estimate, assignees, and labels. From this page, you can quickly create new issues to capture new scope requirements that may have been surfaced. Select the + icon located below the progress bars to create issues:
When viewing an epic you may also see a heading named Issues not in this Workspace. Issues that are a part of the epic but not a part of a repo in the current workspace you are viewing will be listed here. Issues within the current workspace will continue to be listed under their respective pipeline name.
Setting and removing epic dates
When viewing an epic from the board, you'll have the option to set both a start date and end date. You can also remove epic dates using the calendar view:
This will automatically add the epic to ZenHub roadmaps which provides an at-a-glance progress report for your epics. Learn more about getting started with roadmaps here
At the top of the epic is also a progress bar. There are two bars: one for issues completed and another for story points completed. Learn more about estimating issues with ZenHub here.
As you start to interact with issues, complete work, and go about daily activities such as stand-up or daily to-do planning, you can leverage the board epic filter to drill down on story or project work that's been rolled-up into your newly created epic:
How do I convert a GitHub issue to an epic?
If an existing story or issue needs to be converted into an epic, get started by opening the issue page for that issue. On the sidebar of the issue is the epics dropdown. Once selected, at the top of the dropdown is an option to Convert to epic.
How do I convert a GitHub Issue to an Epic?
When converting an issue to an epic, this new epic will be nested within any epics the issue was originally in.
Need to convert an epic back to an issue?
You can convert an epic back to an issue by opening up the epic and selecting the epics option in the issue sidebar. You can then choose Convert to issue:
Nested epics and epic lists
When you nest epics, teams get a complete understanding of the intricate nature of how work intertwines. Developers understand how a small user story rolls up into a larger piece of work; while Project and Product Managers can track overall progress, visualize where in the workflow work is, and spur conversations around blockers, or potential roadblocks that might be impeding progress.
To create that additional layer of hierarchy and nest epics you must :
1. Create the parent level epic which represents the highest level of hierarchy
2. Create the children epic/s which you'd like to roll up to the parent epic
3. Add the relevant issues to each child epic
3. Nest the epics by adding the children epic/s to the parent level epic ( see below)
Example: As seen below, we have created our nested structure by adding the children epics ( Quarterly ReleasePhase 1 and Quarterly ReleasePhase 2 to the Parent Epic Q3 Release Overview:
This makes it easy to tackle roadblocks, focus on what's up next, and visualize what other epics are impacting project progress. When viewing an epic, if there's a nested epic, it will default to being collapsed within the list view. Simply click on Show Epic Issues to view all issues belonging to the nested epic.
Epic points vs. story points
Epic points are the sum of all estimated story points from all the Issues within the epic, including any nested epics. The Epic points completed status indicator summarizes all completed story points across the project. (Learn more about story points and estimates here).
Epic points give a summary of complexity of all issue estimations that belong within a single epic. At the top of the parent epic, the Epic points completed represent the total story points of all nested epics and issues.

However, if you experience any problem with your health, you should know that you are allowed to visit urgent care and get help from physicians that work there. Once you are all okay, they will redirect you to other medical doctors that will furtherly work on your case, depending on what your problem is.
 Urgent Care Berea Ky
 Urgent Care Berea Ky offers all kinds of services, and you can come here in case of emergency, or even if you need to consult a physician about your condition. For instance, if you are diagnosed with asthma, or you have a severe or mild case of allergies, then you should always carry the medicine with you. People with asthma should have their inhaler by their side always. People with skin allergies should carry medicine with them, in case they eat something they should not eat in the first place. However, while we can predict asthma attacks, sometimes they need to happen, and inhalers will not completely do the work. In this case, the patient has to visit urgent care to receive the right medication and get back to a normal state.
 If you have an allergic reaction, make sure that you call the emergency number and rush to urgent care. In the end, you know your body and what it does, so make sure that you are always prepared by having the right medication by your side.

Here are the top tips you need to select the right programming language for your software
Selecting the right programming language for a software project is a crucial decision that can greatly impact your project's success. With the abundance of programming languages available today, it can be overwhelming to make the right choice. However, by taking into consideration a few key factors, you can narrow down your options and make an informed decision.
In this article, we will delve into some of the critical factors to consider when choosing the right programming language for your software project. We will explore the significance of project requirements, development team expertise, community support, performance, ecosystem and libraries, and maintenance. By understanding the importance of these factors, you can choose the programming language that best fits your project's needs and objectives.
- Project Requirements
The first step in selecting the right programming language is to identify the requirements of your project. This means understanding the project's goals, its target audience, its performance requirements, the platforms it will run on, and the type of data it will handle. By doing so, you can narrow down your options to a few programming languages that are most suited to your project's needs.
For example, if you are developing a web application, you may want to consider programming languages that are well-suited to web development, such as Ruby on Rails or Node.js. On the other hand, if you are developing a system that requires high performance, you may want to consider programming languages such as C or C++, which are known for their speed and efficiency.
- Development Team Expertise
Another critical factor to consider is the expertise of your development team. If you have a team of developers who are already proficient in a particular programming language, it may be beneficial to choose that language for your project. This can ensure that your team can work efficiently and effectively, reducing the risk of errors and delays in development.
However, if your team does not have experience with a specific programming language, it may take longer to develop the system, and there may be a steeper learning curve. Therefore, it is crucial to assess your team's skills and experience before making a decision on the programming language.
- Community Support
Community support is another essential factor to consider when choosing a programming language. The size and activity level of a programming language's community can provide a wealth of resources, including documentation, tutorials, and open-source libraries. This can make it easier to learn and use a programming language effectively, and can also provide opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
A strong community can also provide support when you encounter issues or have questions. Therefore, it is essential to choose a programming language with a thriving community to ensure that you have access to the resources and support you need.
Performance is another crucial factor to consider when selecting a programming language. Different programming languages have different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to performance, including factors like speed, memory usage, and scalability. If your project has high performance requirements, you may need to choose a programming language that is optimized for speed and memory usage, such as C or C++.
Scalability is another consideration when it comes to performance. Some programming languages are better suited to distributed systems, such as Java or Python, which can handle a large volume of data and traffic.
- Ecosystem and Libraries
The ecosystem and available libraries for a programming language can also be an essential consideration. A strong ecosystem can provide access to a wide range of libraries and tools that can help speed up development and make it easier to build complex systems.
For example, if you are developing a web application, you may want to choose a programming language with a strong ecosystem of web development tools and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails or Node.js. The availability of third-party libraries can also help reduce development time and costs.
Finally, it is crucial to consider the maintenance aspect when choosing a programming language. Maintenance refers to the ongoing upkeep of the software system, including bug fixes, updates, and security patches. It is essential to choose a programming language that is easy to maintain and has a robust community of developers who can provide support.
Some programming languages have a high degree of backward compatibility, meaning that older code can still be used with new versions of the language, making it easier to maintain and update the system. Additionally, choosing a programming language with a well-established track record of security and reliability can help ensure that your system remains secure and stable over time.
In conclusion, choosing the right programming language for your software project is a critical decision that requires careful consideration of multiple factors. By identifying your project's requirements, assessing your development team's skills, considering community support, evaluating performance, ecosystem and libraries, and maintenance, you can make an informed decision that maximizes the chances of success.
It is also important to note that the choice of programming language is not set in stone and may evolve over time as the project's requirements change or as new technologies emerge. By staying flexible and adaptable, you can ensure that your software system remains relevant and effective over the long term.

Remove Appmodule.exe Trojan
Remove Appmodule.exe Trojan
What is appmodule.exe
appmodule.exe seems to be associated with a cryptocurrency mining trojan. Cryptocurrency miners are trojan infections that use computers' resources to mine for cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and Monero. These infections don't do long-term damage to the computer but are very disruptive while installed. The trojan's extensive usage of computer's resources means that the computer will run much slower than normal, programs will take much longer to load and once they do they will crash or not work properly. This makes trojans very noticeable, and users will be able to detect their presence immediately. The reason you're reading this is likely because you noticed your computer acting weird and saw appmodule.exe running in your Task Manager with high CPU usage. Along with the above mentioned computer usage disruptions, signs of a mining trojan being present also include a process in Task Manager using more then 50-70% of CPU.
Trojans usually enter computers via the usual methods, usually when users open malicious email attachments or download pirated content and software cracks. Developing good browsing habits usually allows users to avoid the majority of malware.
To remove appmodule.exe, you will need to use anti-spyware software. We don't recommend trying to remove it manually because you could end up making the situation worse. Once the infection is no longer present, your computer should go back to normal.
Trojan distribution methods
Malware like trojans are often found in torrents for popular content and software cracks. This is especially the case for torrents of popular TV series, movies and games. Malware operators are fully aware of how carelessly users download torrents and use that to their own advantage by disguising their malware as popular content. This is why we discourage you from using torrents or downloading software cracks, as you are not only essentially stealing but also endangering your computer. However, if you insist of doing it, at least only download content you are certain is secure. Read comments, check contents for unusual file extensions, and don't open anything suspicious.
Malware also often comes attached to spam emails. By opening the wrong email attachment, you could end up with all kinds of infections, much worse than mining trojans. Those malicious emails are usually pretty obvious as long as you're paying attention. Malicious senders often pretend to be from legitimate and known companies/organizations, and claim that opening the file attachment is essential. However, if you were to check the email address from which the email was sent, it would be made up of random numbers and letters. The emails are also usually full of spelling and grammar mistakes, even when the emails are claiming to be official correspondence. We recommend you be cautious with all unsolicited emails with attachments, do not open the files unless you are absolutely sure it's safe. Scan the attached file with anti-malware software or a service like VirusTotal to know definitely whether a file is safe or malicious.
What does appmodule.exe do?
appmodule.exe seems to be part of cryptocurrency mining malware. If you find it running in your Task Manager and it's using a lot of your CPU, you computer is currently being used to mine cryptocurrency. While your computer is infected with malware, the situation is not as bad it may seem. The cryptominer is likely only mining cryptocurrency and doesn't intend to do harm. However, that does not mean you should allow it to remain installed.
As long as it's present, your computer will be running much slower, programs will crash all the time, and you won't be able to use your computer as normal. This happens because the miner uses up the majority of your computer's resources. While not particularly harmful long-term, there is no reason why you should put up with this.
appmodule.exe removal
Unless you are fully aware of what you are doing, we don't recommend trying to delete appmodule.exe manually. You could end up causing more damage. Instead, you should use anti-malware software. The program would detect and uninstall appmodule.exe, without you having to do anything. Once the infection is gone, your computer will go back to normal.

Event Registration in Event-Reflexive Programming
<< First | < Prev
Continuing our recent theme of an IRC bot, the next step in the story concerns the suggestion someone once made to me that given the way most of the internals of this bot worked, it shouldn't be too hard to have these events broadcast over some kind of IPC socket or similar, between multiple processes, to allow parts of the bot to be written out-of-process. Indeed, given the right kind of serialisation, there's no reason these extra parts had to even be perl, they could be implemented in a different language.
This idea has come up twice now in two different concepts, so I decided to think about it in some more detail. In principle the idea is sound enough, but as ever the devil comes down to the details. If every event was serialised and broadcast to every listening process, the IPC overheads could get very large, because most of the time most of the processes would ignore it. The simple form of event-reflexivity we have been using up to now has relied heavily on the very cheap (virtually free) cost of introspection within the code of one process, but now we need to find a better way to implement it.
The obvious way to start this is some kind of registration system. When each process connects to the central core, it starts off telling the core which events it is interested in, perhaps in a set of strings, or regexp matches, or something. This is a good first step in cutting down plenty of unwanted noise over the serialisation links, and generally improves things. This filtering doesn't have to be perfect as each connected process can still state it isn't interested in specific events it still manages to receive, but anything we can do on the core side to cut that down will obviously help.
However, further consideration of the specific domain of interest in being an IRC bot starts to suggest we can do something more powerful. Within IRC, it's quite likely that most events of interest to plugged-in processes will concern some specific IRC channel or user. It's also quite likely that at least some plugins may be interested only in events on specific channels or users, or matching only specific text, or some other criteria. If we could get the core event distribution mechanism to filter on these as well, we can further cut down on pointless IPC overheads.
The full implications and decisions of how this might work aren't really related to event-reflexivity, but what is of interest here is that this kind of event registration system doesn't have to be only for out-of-process management. In fact, as soon as we start to consider how event-reflexive programming might be implemented in a static language like C, as compared a dynamic language like Perl, we fairly soon conclude that there must be some kind of registration call, to hook up pieces of code and help in the event dispatch process on some level or another.
This leads us on to in fact two questions this time:
How useful is it to implement event reflexivity using explicit registrations of interest in events?
Does the answer depend on whether the language is static or dynamic? Can explicit registrations provide useful abilities even in dynamic languages, or they just add unnecessary complication

Music for the soul. Always live!
History of Bachata, The guitar music of the Dominican Republic
Bachata is a popular guitar music from the Dominican Republic. Now overwhelmingly successful among Latinos in the United States, bachata took shape over a period of about forty years in the bars and brothels of Santo Domingo, not gaining acceptance in its native land until about ten years ago. Young groups like Aventura have a similar relationship to original bachata as rock and rollers do to the blues, which has languished in the shadow of its more commercially viable descendant.
In fact, the parallel between bachata and the blues is marked. Although bachata developed out of, and bachateros play, a variety of different rhythms, notably including merengue, the music which is specifically called bachata is a variant of the bolero. The bolero in Latin culture has traditionally been a romantic music, dealing with themes like deception and lost love. The bachatero, like the bluesman, sings about pain and trouble; one difference, though, is that while the bluesman hops on a southbound freight and keeps moving, the bachatero gets as far as the neighborhood bar and looks for solace in a bottle of rum in a dark corner!
The genre has passed through several phases since José Manuel Calderón recorded what is generally recognized as the first bachata single ("Borracho de amor" and "Que será de mi (Condena)") in 1961. Indeed, long before Calderón, guitar music was the music of choice in the places of ill repute which became home to bachata. The guitar and guitar music like bolero and son were also the staples of the campo, the countryside, and with the death of dictator Rafael Trujillo in 1961 a number of musicians left the campo to record in the capital. The dictator's family had virtually monopolized the music industry in the country, and when he was killed entrepreneurs began recording the first generation of bachateros. At this point the music was not yet referred to as bachata, but rather as "bolero campesino". The word bachata originally denoted an informal party where guitar music was generally played—only later did it come to signify the music itself, and then in a denigrating manner.
When Calderón recorded, bachata was essentially a type of bolero, very little different from the Puerto Rican, Ecuadorian, Mexican and Peruvian music that inspired it. In subsequent years, the music began to define itself as a genre which, while still based principally on the bolero rhythm, is easily distinguishable from it. In order to understand these changes it is useful to divide the genre into the following categories, each of which roughly corresponds to a time period:

Why Cats and Milk Don't Mix
Most of us can easily picture a cat lapping up milk from a saucer. Did you know that cats and milk are not the perfect match that they may seem? You'll be surprised to learn that cats and dairy do not mix! Learn more here from your vet in North Suffolk, VA.
Why Can't Cats Drink Milk?
Adult cats are often lactose-intolerant, just like many humans are. This means that there is not enough of the lactase enzyme in the gut to properly digest lactose, milk's main sugar. So, drinking milk means that your adult cat is likely drinking something that they can't digest—ingesting too much will likely result in an upset stomach, diarrhea, or even vomiting.
Don't Kittens Require the Mother's Milk?
Yes, kittens do require the mother's milk (or a synthetic substitute if the mother's milk isn't available) for proper growth in the first weeks of life. Kittens are born with lactase in the gut in order to digest this milk. However, as a kitten grows, the system starts to produce less and less lactase. This means that by the time your kitten has grown into an adult, their digestive system is no longer set up to digest milk properly.
Some adult cats will be able to tolerate milk without showing any adverse symptoms. Still, it's not recommended that you give your cat more than a small amount of milk. Milk simply is not nutritionally necessary!
Is Any Dairy Safe?
Other types of dairy foods, like yogurt, cheese, or even ice cream, are safer for a cat to ingest. That's because these foods either have lower lactose levels than milk, or they've been cultured, which means that microorganisms have already digested much of the lactose. Giving your cat a small nip of cheese or a dab of ice cream probably won't cause any harm; still, it's important not to overdo it.
A relatively new product allows your cat to drink milk without experiencing any of the undesirable side-effects: cat milk, a special type of milk that has had the lactose removed. Ask your veterinarian for a recommendation.
What Liquids Does a Cat Need?
Your cat only needs one type of liquid: water. Fresh water helps keep all body systems healthy, so provide your feline friend with a bowl at all times.
For more information on your cat's dietary needs, call your North Suffolk, VA veterinary clinic today.

Accepted for publication 13 November 2002.
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method for the detection of the curtovirus Beet mild curly top virus (BMCTV, previously named the Worland strain of Beet curly top virus) was developed and used to investigate the BMCTV-beet leafhopper interaction. Using PCR and a BMCTV-specific primer pair, an ≈1.1-kb BMCTV DNA fragment was amplified from adult leafhoppers and from the organs involved in circulative transmission: the digestive tract, hemolymph, and salivary glands. The temporal distribution of BMCTV in the leafhopper was determined using insects given acquisition access periods (AAPs) ranging from 1 to 48 h on BMCTV-infected shepherd's purse plants. BMCTV was detected in the digestive tract after all AAPs, in the hemolymph after AAPs of 3 h or greater, and in the salivary glands after AAPs of 4 h or greater. The amount of virus detected in the hemolymph and salivary glands increased with AAP length. The virus persisted for up to 30 days in leafhoppers (given a 3-day AAP on BMCTV-infected plants) maintained on corn plants, a nonhost for BMCTV, but transovarial transmission was not detected. These results are consistent with a persistent but nonpropagative mode of circulative transmission.

Stem-Based Virtual Learning Initiative Leads to Significant Growth in Student STEM and Essential Skills Scores
Since early spring, education experts have warned about the "Covid slide," or the idea that students would see learning gaps much worse that previous years since the traditional "summer slide" was extended from three months to six months or more. Hurrying to find enrichment programs, private tutors, and learning pods, many parents found solutions to keep their kids on track amidst a global health crisis. But what about students with limited access—how could they be given opportunities to sustain learning, and possibly even grow skills in certain areas?
In the summer of 2020, three organizations joined forces to bring students in a high-need area of Bridgeport, Connecticut an opportunity to develop STEM-focused skills through a Project-Based Learning model from their homes. In the first cohort, a group of 12 students who are all residents of Bridgeport's PT Barnum public housing complex participated in an eight-week, challenge-based program with 3DuxDesign, Urban Impact, and WhyMaker, to help students develop a sense of community after having been socially distanced for many months prior. With months of limited access to technology and private enrichment programs, students in this community were struggling academically, socially, and emotionally due to new challenges associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, and many families welcomed the new opportunity.
3DuxDesign, an education STEM company with a focus on affordable architecture and engineering programs, and WhyMaker, an education consulting organization with a focus on STEM, teamed up with Bridgeport-based Urban Impact, an organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities to the youth of the Bridgeport PT Barnum public housing complex. Through this partnership, they brought the students a STEM experience through a remote, play-based learning program called The Community Project.
The objective for students was to use the 3DuxDesign architecture kits, which were provided to each student to design a simple machine that would help people within their community. Many students began the program using a smart phone and were partnered with community-based mentors who received weekly training from WhyMaker consultants. During the course of the program, some students received loaned Chromebooks and other devices to communicate with mentors while social distancing. WhyMaker consultants supported mentors as they guided students though an exploration of the meaning of community, an idea that had sadly become foreign to many of these kids, especially after many months in isolation.
Once students had a better sense of community, they were mentored as they used design thinking skills paired with empathy to prototype adaptive structures that could help community members in need. While machine example varied greatly, some ideas included a lever to move mattresses, a pulley to get heavy groceries to the top floor, and even a ramp for an elderly dog unable to climb stairs.
Throughout the eight-week process, students widened their STEM vocabularies, learned new geometry concepts, and explored new ways to construct simple machines, all while boosting essential skills such as curiosity, critical problem solving, confidence, and empathy. One mentor who had been working with a male student shared, "he really learned how to identify real-world problems and connect the lessons to his everyday life."
Following the program, students gathered online to present their simple machines in a virtual graduation ceremony. The excitement from students energized the online forum and students beamed with confidence and creativity. A highlight of the event was the passion that exuded from an eight-year-old girl who exclaimed that she will be an engineer when she grows up to help support the people in her community!
After only a few weeks, the growth these students experienced was phenomenal. Not only did the mentors and consultants share anecdotal growth feedback such as, "the 3DuxDesign projects started 'pulling back the curtain' in her mind of how some things work," and "she really learned some valuable spatial lessons," but the data outcomes were quite impressive.
As part of the initiative, students were given STEM and Essential Skills, or soft skills, pre-assessments and post assessments to measure growth. Prior to the program, only one out of 12 students met the expectations in the STEM skills measured. After only eight weeks, eight out of 12 students met or exceeded expectations. On average, students saw a 37% increase in overall STEM proficiency and a 70% increase in STEM skill scores. The essential skills that were measured included curiosity, reflection on learning, confidence, responsibility, and creativity. The average pre-assessment score for essential skills was 45%, but after eight weeks this rose to 79%, a 34% increase!
The results are clear—students were able to show significant growth in skills that are most meaningful for a modern workforce and a global future, all thanks to three organizations who donated time and resources as well as volunteers within the community who wanted to see greater opportunities for these students. A second cohort of students is currently underway and plans to continue the program into the school year are already in place.
The growth was achieved by utilizing community mentor, not formally trained educators, who worked closely with education consultants and supported implementation of the architecture kits and the community challenge. It's a model that can be affordably replicated in communities around the country with little investment resulting in significant student outcomes.
While distance learning has its criticisms, and every parent and educator looks forward to the day when in-person learning can return to "normal," there are ways to support student growth and learning when in-person school is just not feasible. Whether students have an existing passion for engineering and architecture, or they are completely new to the idea, allowing students to use creativity and imagination to build and explore helps ignite passion and develop real-world skills that will benefit students no matter what their future plans entail.

The Po Valley, Po Plain, Plain of the Po, or Padan Plain (Italian: Pianura Padana or Val Padana) is a major geographical feature of Italy. It extends approximately 650 km (400 mi) in an east-west direction, with an area of 46,000 km² (17,756 mi²) including its Venetic extension not actually related to the Po River basin; it runs from the Western Alps to the Adriatic Sea. The flatlands of Veneto and Friuli are often considered apart since they do not drain into the Po, but they effectively combine into an unbroken plain.
The plain is the surface of an in-filled system of ancient canyons (the "Apennine Foredeep") extending from the Apennines in the south to the Alps in the north, including the northern Adriatic. In addition to the Po and its affluents the contemporary surface may include the Savio, Lamone and Reno to the south; the Adige, Brenta, Piave and Tagliamento to the north, which are part of Venetian Plain. among the many streams that empty into the north Adriatic from the west and north.
Geo-political definitions of the valley depend on the defining authority. The Po Basin Water Board (Italian: Autorità di bacino del fiume Po), authorized in 1989 by Law no. 183/89 to oversee "protection of lands, water rehabilitation, the use and management of hydro resources for the rational economic and social development, and protection of related environment" within the Po basin, has authority in several administrative regions of north Italy, including the plain north of the Adriatic and the territory south of the lower Po, as shown in the regional depiction included with this article. The law defines the Po basin as "the territory from which rainwater or snow and glacier melt flows on the surface, gathers in streams of water either directly or via tributaries...". The United Nations Environment Program includes the Alps and Apennines as far as the sources of the tributaries of the Po but excludes Veneto and that portion of Emilia-Romana south of the lower Po; that is, it includes the region drained by the Po but only the Po and its tributaries.
The altitude of the valley through which the Po flows exclusive of its tributaries varies from approximately 4 m (13 ft) below sea level in the Polesine subregion (the delta around Ferrara) to about 2,100 m (6,900 ft) at the river's origin in the southern Piedmontese province of Cuneo, also known as the Provincia granda. The valley is crossed by a number of affluents running down from the Alps in the north and from the Apennines in the south. The Po's major affluents include the Tanaro, Scrivia, Trebbia, Panaro and Secchia in the south, Dora Riparia, Dora Baltea, Sesia, Ticino (draining Lake Maggiore), Adda (draining Lake Como), Oglio (draining Lake Iseo) and Mincio (draining Lake Garda and called Sarca in its upper reaches) in the north.
The Po Valley and the Adriatic overlay a system of deeply buried ancient canyons surviving from the tectonic collision of an offshore land mass, Tyrrhenis, with the mainland, an incident within the collision of the African and Eurasian plates. Since the Messinian (7-5 mya) the system has been filling with sediment mainly from the older Apennines but also from the Alps. The shoreline of the Adriatic depends on a balance between the sedimentation rate and isostatic factors. Until about 1950 the Po delta was prograding into the Adriatic. After that time due to human alteration of geologic factors, such as the sedimentation rate, the delta has been degrading and the coastline subsiding, resulting in ongoing contemporaneous crises in the city of Venice, where much irreplaceable art and architecture is likely to be lost due to soaring sea level in the next centuries. Where the land surface now dips below sea level the river must run at a relative elevation between dikes.
The Po Valley is often regarded as a syncline, or dip in the crust due to compression at the edges. Regardless of whether this concept accurately describes its geology, the valley is manifestly a sediment-filled trough, or virtual syncline, continuous with the deeps of the Adriatic Sea. The surface terrain is therefore divided into two overall types of landform: the plain, or flat surface of the fill, and the anticline at the edges, taking the form of hilly country in which the outcrops of the original rock are visible along with alluvial fans formed from the outwash of the more severe anticlinal terrain; that is, the Apennines and the Alps.
The valley is broadly divided into an upper, drier part, often not particularly suited for agriculture, and a lower, very fertile, and well irrigated section, known in Lombardy and western Emilia as la Bassa, "the low (plain)". The upper areas of the Po valley take local names which reflect in their meanings their being modestly suited for farming. So we have the Piedmontese vaude and baragge, the Lombard brughiere and Groane, or, exiting from the Po valley proper, the Friulian magredi, areas remote from easily reachable water tables and covered with dense woods or dry soils.
This specific meaning for "lower plain" derive from a geologic feature called the fontanili ("spring") line or zone, a band of springs around the Val Po, heaviest on the north, on the lowermost slopes of the anticline. It varies from a few kilometres to as much as 50 km (31 mi) wide. The fontanili line is the outcrop, or intersection, of the anticline's water table with the surface at the edge of the bassa. The rock above the line is porous. Surface water in the intermittent streams of the mountains tends to disappear below ground only to spring out again in the spring zone. The spring zone is often called "the middle valley."
Surface runoff water (the Po and its affluents) is not of much value to the valley's dense population for drinking and other immediate uses, being unreliable, often destructive and heavily polluted by sewage and fertilizers. Its main anthropic value is for hydro-electric power, irrigation and industrial transport. The cost of purifying it for human consumption makes that process less feasible. The fresh drinking water comes from hundreds of thousands of wells concentrated especially in the fontanili zone. The major settlements therefore are also in that zone, which has become the center of economic development and industry in Italy, and now is an almost continuous megalopolis stretching from Turin to Trieste.
The bassa Padana was settled and farmed earliest, in Etruscan and Roman times, and has been completely devoted to agriculture since the Middle Ages, when efforts from monastic orders, feudal lords and free communes converged. The older and smaller cities deriving from ancient times are still located there.
The Po Valley has a mild continental climate and a humid subtropical climate, depending on the part of the valley one is referring to. Winters are not long, but foggy, damp and chilly, with sudden bursts of frost from the Siberian anticyclone; the urban heat effect has made them less foggy and cold than before. Snow was once commonplace, but is now decreased; prolonged winter droughts increasingly deny sufficient moisture to the soil. Spring and autumn are well-marked and pleasant. Summer meanwhile can be a double-edged sword; many days are beautifully sunny with comfortable temperatures and cerulean clear skies, with some days being scorchingly hot, while other days can witness powerful, sudden hailstorms that have the potential to produce large hail, dump large quantities of rain, and be highly destructive to crops. Both winter and summer are more extreme in the lower parts along the Po River, while the great lakes moderate the local climate around them. Wind is quite rare; only sudden bursts of foehn or thunderstorms manage to sweep the air clean. The almost enclosed nature of the Padan basin, indeed, added to the crushing weight of road traffic, makes it prone to a high level of pollution, especially in winter when cold air clings to the soil.
Prehistory and antiquity
Cities are more recent by the Po than in Southern Italy or Greece. The first known inhabitants of the thick forests and swamps in ancient times were the Ligurians, a race of pre-Indo-European stock. After the progressive immigration of Indo-European peoples of Celtic stock, known as the Insubres (hence the name of Insubria sometimes given to northwestern Lombardy), in the 7th century BC the southern and central regions were conquered and colonized here and there by another non-Indoeuropean people, the Etruscans, who left some city names such as Parma, Ravenna or Felsina, the ancient name of Bologna, as part of their cultural heritage. The Etruscan domination left significant marks and introduced urban civilization, but was short-lived. As the 5th century BC dawned, a Celtic horde swarmed through the easy passes of the Western Alps and conquered most of the Po Valley, apart Veneto which had its inhabitants, the Venetics (a population migrated from the south of Germany to north Italy, north France and the Balcan area, considered Proto-Celtic for ethnicity and subsequent mixing with the Gaul

Among the research studies currently underway:
- Primary care providers in our program are completing surveys about the new integration of behavioral health within their primary care clinics where they work. Their feedback provides valuable information on how the Primary Care Mental Health Integration Program is working.
- Depression screenings have become an important tool that allow clinicians to quickly screen patients and refer patients who may be experiencing symptoms of depression to additional services. We are currently researching how often positive screens occur to better understand depression in children and adolescents.
- In collaboration with local partners, we have been able to begin evaluating data from a pilot program that provided mental health screenings to high school athletes as a part of their sport physicals.
The TMH team has also presented two studies at academic conferences:
- Racial and Ethnic Differences in Time to Treatment in Behavioral Health – presented at the 2021 Society of Pediatric Psychology Annual Conference
- Development and Implementation of an Integrated Behavioral Health System Embedded in Pediatric Primary Care – presented at the 2020 Integrated Care Conference by the Collaborative Family Healthcare Association

Media Literacy Education Exposure related to Self-Esteem, Body Esteem, and Sociocultural Ideals in College Students and Graduates
The prevalence of eating disorders (ED) in the United States has increased while the media consistently presents thinner representations of the body. Scholars have found media to negatively influence factors associated with the development of EDs. The purpose of this quantitative nonexperimental cross-sectional survey design study was to explore relationships between exposure levels to MLE and self-esteem, body esteem, and the internalization societal appearance ideals. Participants included undergraduate students or recent graduates majoring in either communications or an alternative major with comparatively less MLE curriculum. The Body Esteem Scale, Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire-3, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale Surveys were administered online to examine the variance of 3 dependent variables (self-esteem, body esteem, internalization of societal appearance norms) with 2 independent variables (exposure levels to media literacy curriculum and gender), and a multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Results displayed statistically significant differences between all 3 dependent variables with MLE levels. Research in MLE benefits both adults and children by way of providing the necessary tools, knowledge, and skills to be able to fully benefit from various media sources. MLE provides an opportunity to better understand media messages, as well as its influences therein, this way rather than being vulnerable and easily manipulated, one becomes a more knowledgeable and aware media consumer. The results to this study can promote, advocate, and bring awareness to media consumers and today's educators of the importance and need of MLE curriculum beginning at a young age.

Twin Cities-based artist Siah Armajani is known for his pioneering public works, which have helped to redefine the social function of art both in this country and abroad. More than simply art for public spaces, Armajani's bridges, plazas, and other public art pieces—at once utilitarian and symbolic—are intended to reflect the ideals of a democratic society and to foster discourse and learning in the communities they inhabit.
Armajani explored the bridge as a metaphor for passage in a number of his early conceptual models and works. In 1970, for example, for the exhibition 9 Artists/9 Spaces, he fashioned an 85-foot-long, rough-timbered wooden bridge. Rising quite surprisingly to a gabled peak at its middle, it sheltered a lone pine tree planted beneath. The idea of passage became decidedly more functional with Armajani's full-scale commission for the Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge, which allows pedestrians to cross the sixteen lanes of streets and highway that had severed the Garden from neighboring Loring Park for many years. The artist's design incorporates the three basic types of bridge structure: beam (across its fir-planked, horizontal span), arch (for the eastern portion), and suspension (for the western portion). To underscore the sense of transition from one part to the next, Armajani painted each half a different, atmospheric shade: pale blue for the upward arching portion and yellow, recreated from the hue that Thomas Jefferson used at his home, Monticello, for the inverted arch. Affixed to the upper lintel of the span and running in each direction across the bridge are the words of a poem—a meditation on movement, place, order, and crossing—which Armajani commissioned specially from the renowned American poet John Ashbery.

The aim of this paper is to reflect on sign language learning (as a first language to the Deaf or as a second language to the hearing) through virtual learning environments. Integration of ICT appears to be the latest trend among sign language classes. Numerous Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) material and websites constitute resources for sign language teachers and learners, since they are containing video or/and animating material accessible free of cost and vice versa and therefore, they can be used as teaching/learning tools in the classroom. Especially, the shift to Internet creates an environment suitable to learner's pace of learning a sign language. The classroom is more learner-centered, whereby learners learn the language at their speed, thereby having the control over the learning process. Tutors, on the other hand, play the role of the facilitator, who decides about the resources available to learners and consults them how to proceed with the material in order to learn the language. Accordingly, the computer can mediate the interaction between the learner and the tutor when they are spatially dispersed. Based on SLA theories I would like to present how existing networking technologies can be used (and are used) beneficially for sing language teaching and learning purposes.

The Smallest Analog Computer Ever Made?!
By James Grahame
From the early 1960s brochure: "Donner's Model 3500 is a full-fledged analog computer weighing just 28 lbs. Designed for engineers, educators and scientists, it can be used to study almost any physical system that can be described by differential equations. It can be operated on desk tops and benches by anyone who can run a slide rule. The standard 3500 contains 10 amplifiers, stabilized or unstabilized as the user chooses. The computer performs accurately with 1% or 0.1% computing components, and is furnished ready-to-work for $1850, depending upon specific equipment desired."
Fast forward 50 years, and I'd much rather have a Macbook. It's astounding to realize just how far we've come in the past half century; the Donner 3500 used vacuum tubes and was anything but simple to use. These days, you could create a comparable analog function generator using a variety of solid-state op amps and buffers that cost only a few cents each.

In conjunction with the advance in computer technology, virtual screening of small molecules has been started to use in drug discovery. Since there are thousands of compounds in early-phase of drug discovery, a fast classification method, which can distinguish between active and inactive molecules, can be used for screening large compound collections. In this study, we used Support Vector Machines (SVM) for this type of classification task. SVM is a powerful classification tool that is becoming increasingly popular in various machine-learning applications. The data sets consist of 631 compounds for training set and 216 compounds for a separate test set. In data pre-processing step, the Pearson's correlation coefficient used as a filter to eliminate redundant features. After application of the correlation filter, a single SVM has been applied to this reduced data set. Moreover, we have investigated the performance of SVM with different feature selection strategies, including SVM–Recursive Feature Elimination, Wrapper Method and Subset Selection. All feature selection methods generally represent better performance than a single SVM while Subset Selection outperforms other feature selection methods. We have tested SVM as a classification tool in a real-life drug discovery problem and our results revealed that it could be a useful method for classification task in early-phase of drug discovery.

The Dictionary of Newfoundland English, first published in 1982 to regional, national and international acclaim, is a historical dictionary that gives the pronunciations and definitions for words that the editors have called "Newfoundland English". The varieties of English spoken in Newfoundland date back four centuries, mainly to the early seventeenth century migratory English fishermen of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, and to the seventeenth to the nineteenth century immigrants chiefly from south-eastern Ireland. Culled from a vast reading of books, newspapers and magazines, this book is the most sustained reading ever undertaken of the written words of this province. The dictionary gives not only the meaning of words, but also presents each word with its variant spellings. Moreover, each definition is succeeded by an all-important quotation of usage which illustrates the typical context in which word is used.
This well-researched, impressive work of scholarship illustrates how words and phrases have evolved and are used in everyday speech and writing in a specific geographical area. The Dictionary of Newfoundland English is one of the most important, comprehensive and thorough works dealing with Newfoundland. Its publication, a great addition to Newfoundlandia, Canadiana and lexicography, provides more than a regional lexicon. In fact, this entertaining and delightful book presents a panoramic view of the social, cultural and natural history, as well as the geography and economics, of the quintessential lifestyle of one of Canada's oldest European-settled areas. This second edition contains a Supplement offering approximately 1500 new or expanded entries, an increase of more than 30 per cent over the first edition. Besides new words, the Supplement includes modified and additional senses of old words and fresh derivations and usages.

Centroacinar cells are spindle-shaped cells in the exocrine pancreas. Centroacinar cells are an extension of the intercalated duct cells into each pancreatic acinus.[1] The intercalated ducts take the bicarbonate to intralobular ducts which become lobular ducts. These lobular ducts finally converge to form the main pancreatic duct.[1]
These cells are commonly known as duct cells, and secrete an aqueous bicarbonate solution under stimulation by the hormone secretin. They also secrete mucin.
