Random Walk Formula
General Modeling Idea
The random walk on DNA origami can be modeled as one dimensional random walk with a reflecting and an absorbing barrier (Figure 1). Tracks in the same column are grouped into rectangles, and each step is defined as walking from one rectangle to the adjacent one.
Consider a random walk on a line segment with N+1 sites denoted by integers (0,1,2, …, N) (Figure 2). The walker starts random walk at site i, 0 < i ≤ N. Let p be the probability for the walker to move one segment to the left, q be the probability for the walker to move one segment to the right. The probability for the walker to stay at a particular site for the next unit time is thus r = 1 – p – q. When the walker reaches site N, the partially reflecting barrier, it has a probability of β to be reflected back to site N – 1, and a probability of α = 1 – β to stay at site N in the next unit time. When reaching site 0, the absorbing barrier, it stays there for 100% probability and the random walk ends.

A color ramp uses color to display its numeric value. You configure a color scale that consists of at least two arbitrary markers, each with a numeric value and a corresponding display color. As the input value changes, the color displayed changes to the color that corresponds to that value. Color ramps are useful for visually indicating data ranges, such as a warning range for when a gauge reaches dangerous values. For example, you can use a color ramp to set the color scale for intensity graphs and charts.
Complete the following steps to add and configure a color ramp.
- Right-click a dial, knob, or gauge and select Visible Items»Ramp from the shortcut menu to add a color ramp.
- Right-click the color ramp or a marker and select Marker Spacing»Arbitrary from the shortcut menu to switch the color ramp to arbitrary marker spacing.
- To change the value of an arbitrary marker on a color ramp, use the Operating tool to drag the marker to the value you want or use the Labeling tool to highlight the text of the marker and enter a new value. When you drag a marker, the cursor changes to to indicate the tool is over a marker.
- To add a new marker to the color ramp, right-click the position on the color ramp where you want to add a new marker and select Add Marker from the shortcut menu. LabVIEW adds a new marker to that location. You also can press the key while you drag an existing marker to the location where you want to add a marker.
(Mac OS X) Press the key. (Linux) Press the key.
- Use the Operating or Positioning tools to right-click the marker next to the color ramp and select Marker Color from the shortcut menu to change the color associated with a marker.
- Select the color you want from the color picker that appears.
- Resize the color ramp by moving the Positioning tool over one of the handles that appear on the midpoints of the color ramp. Drag the handle to the width you want.
||Note Meters have a visible color ramp by default.

A Description of the energy levels and electric quadrupole transitions of the 92Nb and 92Mo nuclei using nuclear shell model
In current study,92Nb and 92Mo isotopes have been determined for calculating energy levels and electric quadrupole transition probabilities. These isotopes have different model spaces (1g9/2,1g7/2) for one proton and (2d5/2, 1g7/2, 3s1/2, 2d3/2 and 1h11/2 ) for one neutron of 92Nb nucleus while (1g9/2, 1g7/2) orbits for two protons of 92Mo nucleus.Two interaction have been applied in this study which are surface delta and modified surface delta interactions. The calculations have been achieved by using appropriate effective charges for proton and neutron as well as parameter length of harmonic potential. Computed results have been compared with the experimental values. After this comparison, the energy values and the transition probabilities have shown good agreement with the experimental values, it has also found that the values of the total angular momentum and parity are determined and confirmed for some of the experimental energies, undetermined and unconfirmed experimentally. Theoretically, new values of quadrupole electric transition probabilities have been explored which have not been known in the experimental data.

What are the implications of crop lodging?
According to John Nix's guide, the gross margin on a crop of feed wheat is £656/ha. Early lodging at ear emergence can result in up to 75% yield loss. In financial terms, this is a cost of almost £500/ha. We want to help you to reduce your lodging risk and maximise your profitability.
So how can I reduce my lodging risk?
Crop Variety
Varieties have different resistance to lodging scores as each variety demonstrates differences in terms of growth habit (height, tillering capacity, stem strength and speed of establishment). Varieties with a score of 7 or less on the Recommended Lists should be considered at risk of lodging. Be sure to check the Recommended Lists on the HGCA website.
Drilling Date
Earlier drilled crops can produce heavier ears which have a higher yield potential. These heavy ears put weight on the stem, meaning a crop with higher yield potential is more likely to lodge. It has been estimated that each tonne per hectare above 9 t/ha reduces the resistance to lodging score by 0.5 points. As a result, delaying drilling can be a useful cultural control to help reduce lodging risk.
Nitrogen Applications
The AHDB Nutrient Management Guide is a great place to start to understand your nitrogen (N)requirements [link:]. Residual nitrogen in the soil from previous crops can significantly affect lodging risk by creating thick, dense canopies that are more prone to stem lodging. Delayed and reduced applications of nitrogen can help to manage canopy size and reduce lodging risk.
Plant Population
A high seed rate can increase the risk of root lodging, where the plant's rooting structure is insufficient to hold it upright against the leverage of the rest of the plant. Reducing the seed rate can help to reduce lodging risk, as well as disease risk.
Spring Rolling
Weather permitting, spring rolling can help to consolidate soils, creating a better structure for plant roots to anchor into. Spring rolling should occur before GS30 to avoid crop damage.
PGR applications
A good plant growth regulator, such as Canopy or Medax Max will reduce plant height, improve rooting and increase straw strength. All of these agronomic benefits help to reduce lodging risk. What's more, with two active ingredients, BASF PGRs are fast acting and reliable at a range of growth stages and temperatures.

Does Environmental Economics Produce Aeroplanes Without Engines? On the Need for an Environmental Social Science
Research output: Contribution to journal › Letter
In this paper we first critically review conventional environmental economics. We conclude that the standard theory offers too narrow a perspective for many real world problems and that many theories are not empirically tested. Consequently, environmental economics is at risk of producing aeroplanes without engines. Next, we welcome and discuss some recent trends, particularly the rapid developments of behavioural and new institutional economics as well as the increased interest in empirical analysis. Yet, we conclude that more 'logical duels' between competing theories, more interaction between theory and empirics, and more integration between the social sciences are needed to achieve a better understanding of real world environmental problems and the development of adequate policy handles. Finally, we present an outline of steps towards the development of an environmental social science and briefly present the papers that make up this special issue as important building stones of such a discipline.

DIY Touchscreen Gloves
If you or someone you know has wanted a pair of those slick gloves to use on touchscreen phones and tablets, stop looking. The good people at Popular Science recently published a do-it-yourself method of turning gloves into gadget gloves. OK, so it may be more fun to buy a pair and gift them. But if you are watching your budget – or want a pair yourself – take a look at these instructions, as republished from Popular Science.
1. Order silver-plated nylon thread (silver conducts electricity). This can be difficult to find in stores, but major online retailers carry it.
2. Pick a pair of gloves to modify. Although leather works, it's harder to push a needle through.
3. Stitch the figure of a star or other solid shape onto the glove's index finger with the thread, making sure it will contact both the touchscreen and your skin.
4. Bundle up and tap away.


From Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum

Lykerna, the City of Light, is a city of Tyrion's worshippers in the Realm of Light hidden within mountains and its light concealed from the nearby plains. The city was a sanctuary throughout the Age of Chaos protected by magical maze that nobody but the native-born of this city could traverse. The people of this city believe that the blind are blessed to share the burden of Tyrion.[1]
The khornate lord Graunos, a lost son of Lykerna, led his warband into the city in order to get revenge for his blindness being considered a blessing, rather than acknowledging his plight.[1]

Salary Allowances in India - Taxable & Non Taxable
Any monetary benefit offered by the employer to its employees for meeting expenditures, over and above the basic salary are known as Salary Allowances.
The employers offer various kinds of additional benefits in monetary terms to their employees over and above the basic salary, which are known as salary allowances. These salary allowances are given to meet the expenditure of particular nature. According to Income Tax Act, allowances are added to the salary of an individual and taxed under the head Income from Salaries. The salary allowances can be bifurcated into three broad categories, taxable, non-taxable and partly taxable allowances.
The taxability of various salary allowances are given below
 1. Taxable Allowances
 1. Dearness Allowance (DA): DA is provided for converse the inflationary effect from the cost of living of the people. Income Tax Act does not provide any exemption on DA.
 2. City Compensation Allowance: It is offered to the employees for meeting the highly inflated costs in the large or metro cities.
 3. Entertainment Allowance: It is an amount given to the employees for achieving the expenses incurred towards the meal, beverages, hotels, etc. for the business clients of the company. An exemption u/s 16(ii) can be claimed for entertainment allowance by the Government employees. Non-government employees are taxed entirely.
 4. Overtime Allowance: It is provided to the employees for working more than the regular working hours.
 5. Tiffin Allowance: It is provided to meet the food expenses.
 6. Cash Allowance: Any cash allowance provided by the employer becomes taxable. For instance, marriage allowance, holiday allowance, etc.
 7. Project Allowance: Allowance provided to bear the expenses relating to the project.
 8. Servant/helper Allowance: Amount provided for hiring a servant is fully taxable in the hands of an employee.
 2. Partly Taxable Allowances
 1. House Rent Allowance: HRA is offered to meet the residential rent expenses of the employee for its accommodation. It is partially exempt u/s 10(13A), and the remaining amount after deduction is taxable.
 2. Leave Travel Allowance: LTA is offered for travelling anywhere in India. Deduction on the fare cost is provided to some extent, and the balance is taxable.
 3. Conveyance Allowance: An amount of Rs. 1600 per month is offered to the employees for commuting from home to office and vice-versa. Any expense over and above that is taxable.
 4. Medical Bills Reimbursement Allowance: A token of Rs. 15000 is given by the employer for meeting the treatment costs in case the employee or its family falls ill. Any expenditure incurred above Rs. 15000 is taxable.
 6. Hostel Allowance: Per Child Rs. 300 per month for maximum two children is allowed as a deduction.
 3. Fully Exempt Allowances
 1. Allowance to Government Employees: Any amount paid as a provision for rendering services outside India by the Government Employees is exempt.
 2. Allowances to Judges of Supreme Court or High Court are not taxable.
 3. Benefits received by the people working in United Nations Organisation (UNO) are fully exempt.

What is the difference between 'mange' and 'manges'?
In English one word can have many forms "I am going to eat", "I am eating", "I ate", "I have already eaten" depending on the context of the word, these are called conjugations.
Mange and Manges are two conjugations of the word manger "to eat". Throw it into google and you will find: _URL_ Which will tell you the context of the word. In french there are a lot more conjugations than English, but mostly they follow a regular pattern. I strongly suggest doing some investigation outside Duolingo to find out what the patterns are.
Oh, forgot to note that French has different conjugations depending on the subject. So while "I eat" and "you eat" use the same form in English, in French they are different "Je mange" and "Tu Manges" respectively.

Stochastic thermodynamic cycles of a mesoscopic thermoelectric engine
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2021
We analyze a steady-state thermoelectric engine, whose working substance consists of two capacitively coupled quantum dots. One dot is tunnel-coupled to a hot reservoir serving as a heat source, the other one to two electrically biased reservoirs at a colder temperature, such that work is extracted under the form of a steady-state current against the bias. In single realizations of the dynamics of this steady-state engine autonomous, four-stroke cycles can be identified. The cycles are purely stochastic, in contrast to mechanical autonomous engines which exhibit self-oscillations. In particular, these cycles fluctuate in direction and duration and occur in competition with other spurious cycles. Using a stochastic thermodynamic approach, we quantify the cycle fluctuations and relate them to the entropy produced during individual cycles. We identify the cycle mainly responsible for the engine performance and quantify its statistics with tools from graph theory. We show that such stochastic cycles are made possible because the work extraction mechanism is itself stochastic instead of the periodic time dependence in the working-substance Hamiltonian which can be found in conventional mechanical engines. Our investigation brings new perspectives about the connection between cyclic and steady-state engines.

COVID Face Shield
Introduction: COVID Face Shield
In the COVID age, you need to be able to protect yourself. I decided to make a face shield because people need to be able to protect themselves from COVID-19. In some places face masks and other face protections are required. In this Instructable, I will show you the supplies and tools needed to make your own homemade face shield, and the steps on how to build it.
 - Clear 2 Liter Bottle
 - Packaging Foam
 - Glue
 - Rubber Band
 - Box Cutter
 - Scissors
 - Hair Dryer
 - 2 Weights
Step 1: Gather the Supplies
Gather Supplies into your workspace, and keep everything spread out far enough so you have room to work.
Step 2: Prepare the Bottle
Take off the wrapper and mark lines on where to cut the bottle with the box cutter. Mark around where the neck of the bottle and the rest of the bottle flattens out, then mark at the bottom. Then one line going down the side. Next make two sets of lines on each side for a rubber band so it can go around your head. This will allow you to feed the rubber band in through one slit and back out of the second slit so you can tie the rubber band into a knot.
Step 3: Cut the Bottle
Cut the 2 liter bottle where you drew your lines. I recommend to cut at first using the box cutter until you have room to use the scissors to finish the cutting.
Step 4: Flatten the Plastic
In this step you will need to use a hair dryer to help flatten the plastic from the bottle that you cut out. You will need to have two heavy objects just to weigh down each side of the plastic so you can use the hair dryer. Then turn the hair dryer on high and put it close to the plastic so it will soften and form to the new position of being flat instead of curved.
Step 5: Headband for Shield
You will need some rubber bands for this step, you can use one big one or more than one by tying them together. When you have the desirable length of the band, then you would tie it through the holes that you cut out in the last step.
Step 6: Enjoy
You are now complete and now have a face shield to defend yourself from COVID.

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care announced on 6 February 2018 that he was asking Professor Sir Norman Williams to conduct a rapid policy review into the issues pertaining to gross negligence manslaughter in healthcare.
Working with stakeholders, the Review considered:
- how to ensure healthcare professionals are adequately informed about:
- where and how the line is drawn between gross negligence manslaughter (GNM) and negligence;
- what processes are gone through before initiating a prosecution for GNM;
- how the vital role of reflective learning, openness and transparency is protected where the healthcare professional believes that a mistake has been made to ensure that lessons are learned and mistakes not covered up;
The Review also explored the lessons that need to be learned by the General Medical Council (GMC) and other healthcare professionals' regulators in relation to how they deal with professionals following a criminal process for gross negligence manslaughter.
The Community Pharmacy Patient Safety Group submitted evidence as part of the Review.
In summary, we stated that:
- We would be extremely disappointed if an unintended consequence of the tragic death of Jack Adcock and the following case against Dr Bawa-Garba was the regression to a blame culture in any part of the health and care system, or moves towards a more risk-averse form of healthcare
- An appropriate balance must be struck – currently the GPhC, employers, patients and professionals expect and potentially require (e.g. as part of GPhC standards) that pharmacy professionals are open and honest, and reflect when things go wrong to help organisations understand the factors that have led to an incident so that lessons can be learned/shared, yet these reflections and analysis can then be demanded as part of a criminal investigation and used against the individual involved
- It often feels as though the ultimate goal of regulatory action is to improve public safety and patient care, yet the ultimate goal of a criminal investigation is usually to punish an individual – which makes the responsible pharmacist particularly vulnerable when things go wrong
- There is vast inconsistency in the approach taken by police forces in handling incidents involving healthcare professionals and it is not clear who advises them on proportionality and reasonable expectations. Professionals have a relatively clearer understanding of what to expect from their regulator (due to decision-making guidance being published) but criminal processes are much less clear so we would welcome further guidance on this.
- Public understanding of regulatory action and the application of learning should be improved – a lack of criminal conviction does not equate to a lack of action/learning and a conviction does not automatically lead to improved safety.
- We were particularly concerned by the approach taken by the GMC in this case, especially in the context that the Department of Health recently consulted on proposals to merge several of the healthcare regulators.


text: The main purpose of controlling the distillation process is to maintain the composition of the products in an intended specification in order to optimize operating costs and meet market requirements. Line analyzers and laboratory analysis are generally used for composition information. However, such alternatives are expensive, do not provide information in real time and are not always feasible or available. In this context, soft sensors emerge as a cheaper alternative. The aim of this work is to develop a soft sensor to infer online the ethanol content in the products of a batch distillation process of watermelon wine, based on temperature measurements. The developed model consists in a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network with one hidden layer. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was used to optimize the weights. In order to train and validating the ANN, real distillation data of water-alcohol binary mixtures with initial compositions similar to the watermelon wine used. The simulation was also validated with real data of wine distillations. The RMSE was applied in the performance evaluation of the model and its result was 0.029 in mass fraction, showing the feasibility of its use as a soft sensor.

Step 1:
Given a non-leap year
$\therefore$ A non leap year has 365 days
Which includes 52 whole weeks
$\therefore 52\times 7=364$
Step 2:
$\therefore$ Remaining is 1 day which could be either of the day out of 7 days.
$\therefore$ Probability of having 53 tuesdays or 53 wednesdays =$\large\frac{1}{7}$
Hence (A) is the correct answer.

Biography for
The Mandarin (Character)
from "Iron Man" (1994)
Warning! This character biography may contain plot spoilers.
Visit our Character Biography Help to learn more.
The Mandarin is a notable Super-Villain who first appeared in the 1964 comic "Tales of Suspense #50" (Written by Stan Lee)
BiographyThe Mandarin's parents, a Mongolian nobleman decended from Genghis Khan and a British aristocrat, died shortly after he was born. The Mandarin spent all of his inheritance training at science and martial arts. Doing so caused him to go broke at roughly the same time he reached adulthood. The Chinese government evicted him because he was too broke to pay his taxes. The bitter, broke, homeless, but extremely well trained Mandarin began to wander the earth. He found an alien space-ship during his wandering. He studied the ship to gain knowledge of advanced science, and stole rings he found within it. The Mandarin uses a combination of superhuman martial arts abilities, alien science, and the ten energy-blasting rings he found to wage a never-ending war on civilization.
Powers and abilitiesThe Mandarin possesses superhuman martial arts skills, such as channeling Chi into superhuman strength, performing superhumanly destructive karate-chops, and going for long periods of time without food or water by living on stored Chi.
The Mandarin is extremely educated in multiple scientific fields.
The Mandarin is a genius tactician and gifted strategist.
WeaponryThe Mandarin wields ten energy-blasting rings. Among the uses for these rings are creating illusions that allow him to attack while his enemy doesn't know what is real, trapping an enemy in ice allowing him to attack while the enemy can not move, and creating a tornado allowing him to attack while the enemy is dizzy. In conjunction with his superhuman martial arts abilities, these make him an extremely lethal warrior.
In Iron Man 3, the Mandarin is only an actor named Trevor Slattery, hired by Aldrich Killian to confuse everyone making people think he is the real super villain. He does not possess any superhuman martial arts skills or something similar to the comics. It is later revealed that Killian himself is the Mandarin.

Online bajo sexto tuning Pet sex cams
Luthiers eventually picked up on this practice and began leaving off the low E course during construction, producing instruments with only five courses—bajo quintos.Bajo sextos are traditionally tuned in fourths, what a guitarist would call all fourths tuning.Bajo sexto (Spanish: "sixth bass") is a Mexican string instrument with 12 strings in 6 double courses.A closely related instrument is the bajo quinto (Spanish: "fifth bass") which has 10 strings in 5 double courses.So, take a stroll down memory lane to remember all of our past Word of the Year selections.The sound is projected either acoustically, using a hollow wooden or plastic and wood box (for an acoustic guitar), or through electrical amplifier and a speaker (for an electric guitar).The term "finger-picking" can also refer to a specific tradition of folk, blues, bluegrass, and country guitar playing in the United States.The acoustic bass guitar is a low-pitched instrument that is one octave below a regular guitar.
When played in older styles of music where the instrument assumes the role of a bass, the strings are usually plucked with the fingers.The electric guitar has had a major influence on popular culture.The guitar is used in a wide variety of musical genres worldwide.The modern guitar was preceded by the gittern, the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar, and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed to the development of the modern six-string instrument.There are three main types of modern acoustic guitar: the classical guitar (nylon-string guitar), the steel-string acoustic guitar, and the archtop guitar, which is sometimes called a "jazz guitar".

In modern chordal and melodic styles, a pick is frequently used. There are few written sources, and until very recently most music dictionaries and encyclopedias didn't even mention the instrument.


What's an operating procedure?
Operating procedures are written instructions that list the steps for a given task and describe how the steps are to be performed. Operating procedures are normally used to control activities that are routinely and non-routinely performed by operators.
Operating procedures are required to safely start-up, operate, and shut down processes, including emergency shutdown. Operating procedures complement safe work and asset integrity procedures.
Without written procedures, a facility may not have the intended procedures and methods used by each operator or consistently execute a particular task in an intended manner. Procedures should be updated and reviewed periodically to ensure that they remain valid.
Some of the examples of processes which require operating procedures:
 - Initial start-up
 - Normal operations
 - Temporary operations
 - Emergency shutdown
 - Emergency operations
 - Normal shutdown
 - Start-up after a turnaround or emergency shutdown
Operating procedures help to ensure that everyone understands their roles/responsibilities in the task and maximizes the efficiency of work processes.
Here is an example of a Troubleshooting Flowchart
Procedures should be written in a universal language whereby everyone will be able to understand. Not only that, but procedures should also have sufficient details written so that a qualified worker can understand consistently and successfully perform the task.

Sardinia's electricity transmission network
Sadinia's main electricity transmission network consist of a main bone line at 370 kV that interconnects the main generation sites located in the industrial sites of Fiume Santo, Sulcis and Rumianca, and a ring at 220 kV. The rest of the transmission system consist of a mesh network at 150 kV.
Sardinia is connected with Corsica and with the Italian peninsula through two submarine HVDC
power lines: SACOI and SAPEI.
SAPEI: Sardegna-Penisola Italiana
SAPEI (Sardinia-Italian peninsula) connect directly Sardinia to Italian peninsula since 2010trough 420 km of submarine cable layed down up to 1600 m under the sea level. The maximum power is 1000 MW, splitted in two cables of 500 MW. SAPEI is a 420 km long submarine cable (435 if you also consider the land section) between Sardinia and Lazio, passing 1600 meters below the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is the deepest submarine cable in the world. SAPEI is composed of two cables, with a total capacity of 1000 Megawatts. The laying of the cables was entrusted to "Giulio Verne", the largest cable laying ship in the world.
SACOI: Sardegna-Corsia-Italia
The direct current connection SACOI (Sardinia – Corsica – Italy) is an HVDC interconnection used for the exchange of electricity between the Italian mainland, Corsica and Sardinia since 1965.
It is unusual, having more than two conversion stations as part of a single HVDC system and (as of 2012) it is one of only two multi-terminal HVDC systems in operation in the world (the other multi-terminal scheme is the Quebec transmission system -New England which connects the northeastern United States with Quebec in Canada). The scheme is a monopole that uses a combination of overhead line and submarine cable for the 200 kV high voltage conductor and return to the sea for neutral current. Overhead lines and submarine cables are duplicated, with both circuits installed on the same towers.
Until the 1990s mercury vapour rectifier where used, which have now been replaced by thyristors. The capacity is of 200 MW at a voltage of 200 kV. In 1992 a second pole was installed with a maximum power of 300MW at 200 kV. The fist cable of 200 MW have been in service for more than 40 years and is going to be dismissed in the next years because obsolescence.

A Myth Explaining Why Parrots Are Different Colours
A myth submitted to the site by Megan Coles
A long time ago in Greece every animal was colourful except for the parrot. The parrots were dull and boring. The parrots hated being like this because nobody liked them. The parrots were fed up with this and wished the other animals would be nice to them.
One day something amazing happened ………
It started to rain, the animal were fascinated by this as they had never seen a single drop of rain in their whole life. The sun was still shining and the air was still warm, the animals were very confused.
A couple of hours later an elephant saw the colours: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. He trumpeted and every one looked at him. The elephant pointed his truck at the pretty colours in the sky. All the other animals were shocked. What were all the pretty colours in the sky?
The animals went over to the parrots to ask what all the pretty colours were in the sky as they were most intelligent of them all.
It was a rainbow of course.
A couple of minutes later there was a popping sound and colours were flying off in every direction. One spark landed on a parrot and the parrot turned red blue and yellow.
This started to happen on all the parrots. The only thing that was different about all the parrots was that they were all different colours.
That is why parrots are beautiful and colourful today.


What is GTIN, MPN, UPC, EAN, and ISBN on eBay? - Sellbrite
There are a lot of different acronyms involved in listing an item for sale on eBay, many of which you may not know. From MPNs and UPCs to ISBNs and EANs, keeping track of them can seem complicated, but their purpose is to simplify the eBay buying and selling process.
These product identifiers are a series of numerical or alphanumerical digits that signify specific items, creating a universal system that allows products to be identified. These various codes make it easy for shoppers to find items both on eBay and through search engines like Google, and they can boost your listings' visibility.
So what is MPN on eBay? And what about all those other acronyms? And how can they help your eBay sales? Let's take a look at what each of these identifiers means and how they can help you improve your eBay listings and make sales.
What is GTIN?
"GTIN" stands for global trade item number, an identifier assigned to any product by GS1, a not-for-profit organization that develops international standards for business communication.
These unique numbers help identify which products in one database correspond with products in another database across international borders and organizational boundaries, and they're issued to manufacturers and retailers for a fee. They were created to establish a single standard for product identification, and they incorporate other product identifiers, including UPC, EAN, MPN, and ISBN, which are all types of GTINs.
What is MPN?
"MPN" stands for manufacturer part number and is a series of numbers and/or letters that a manufacturer assigns to individual products.
MPNs help buyers find specific parts, and they identify which companies made those parts. They're more common in industries that make interchangeable parts, like the automobile, machinery, hardware, and computer industries.
For example, let's say an eBay shopper is looking for a specific hard drive.
search ebay by MPN
They can search for the item's MPN, such as "WL4000GSA6472E," as illustrated above.
ebay hard drives for sale
The shopper will then get a variety of search results, such as in the example above, that display only items with that exact MPN.
What is UPC?
"UPC" stands for universal product code, and it consists of a 12-digit numeric code and a corresponding machine-readable barcode that can be assigned to any product.
These are common in the United States and Canada and are primarily used for tracking inventory and scanning items at the point of sale. A unique UPC can identify a product by brand, name, item, color, and other factors.
What is EAN?
"EAN" stands for European article number, and it's essentially the European version of a UPC. These 13-digit codes are also known as international article numbers.
If your eBay listings are available to international buyers, including an EAN as a product identifier is essential.
What is ISBN?
"ISBN" stands for international standard book number, a 13-digit product identifier exclusively for books.
They're used primarily by publishers, booksellers, and libraries, but are commonly employed by Internet retailers to identify titles. Each variation of a book title — including the edition, the language, and the book format, such as print, audio, or e-book — has a unique ISBN.
What About SKUs?
"SKU" stands for stock-keeping unit, and it is a type of product identifier. However, SKUs are created by individual businesses for internal use and aren't actually standard codes.
eBay does have a "custom label (SKU)" field for sellers to enter SKUs, which allows you to include these internal identifiers to help you track inventory, ship orders, and ensure your listings are correct, but they won't be visible to buyers.
How Should eBay Sellers Use Product Identifiers?
When listing an item for sale on eBay, you'll always be prompted to enter product identifiers, such as the UPC or ISBN, for example, as illustrated below.
ebay product identifiers field
The purpose of these identifiers is to allow for product-based shopping and to make it easy for consumers to find the specific product they're interested in.
While eBay doesn't require product identifiers for product category — such as certain collectibles — they are essential for most eBay product categories. You can view the full list of qualifying and required categories here.
What are the Benefits of Product Identifiers on eBay?
As mentioned previously, using product identifiers in eBay listings simplifies the product-based shopping process for eBay users by allowing them to quickly and easily identify items. But there are several other benefits to including these codes in your listings:
 - They make creating listings easier by matching items with products already in eBay's catalog. For example, if you're selling a box set of Harry Potter paperback books and enter the ISBN "9781408856772," eBay can easily identify the product from previous listings and fill in a lot of essential information for you, as illustrated in the screenshot below.
harry potter boxset for sale on eBay
 - They make pricing more accurate.
 - They improve placement and visibility in search results on both eBay and in search engines.
 - They enable eBay to alert you when your listings are below the item's trending price.
 - They make your listings eligible for inclusion in eBay promotions.
Check out this article for tips for increasing your sales from successful eBay sellers.
Include 'Item Specifics'
Not every item you list for sale on eBay will necessarily have a specific product identifier, such as an MPN, a UPC, or an EAN. For example, event tickets and certain collectibles will typically lack this information, but you can still list these items for sale on eBay.
But you can still include what eBay calls "item specifics" in your listings, like the brand name and the physical details of what you're selling, such as size, make, model, and color. This information makes it easy for buyers to find your listings through search and determine whether your item is the one they're looking for.

The application of adult nursing pads in surgery
by：Moosee 2021-03-13
Adult nursing pad is a disposable sanitary product made of PE film, non-woven fabric, fluff pulp, polymer and other materials. Adult nursing pads can reduce the occurrence of hypothermia in surgical patients, and at the same time reduce the frequency of moving patients. The vital signs are significantly smoother than those of patients with repeated turnings, and the patient feels comfortable. So what are the applications of adult nursing pads in surgery? Let me introduce to you.
1. Before operation: Lay two 90*60cm2 adult nursing pads on the stretcher to isolate the patient's body from direct contact with the stretcher. Depending on the patient's condition, use the patient's own translation or two-person transfer method to move the patient. Move it to the stretcher and cover with the quilt. The general principle of handling is to move lightly, shorten the distance, and save energy. During transportation, keep warm.
2. Intraoperative: Intraoperative disinfectant and various rinsing fluids overflow, the nursing pad can quickly absorb, keep the surface dry, avoid the irritation of the wet bed sheet to the patient's skin, and reduce the loss of skin heat conduction.
3. After operation: Place the scoop stretcher on the flat car, and spread two nursing pads on the stretcher flat, with a nursing pad in the middle corresponding to the patient's waist and hips. After being transported to the ward, the nurses and nurses lift the scoop stretcher to the patient's bed, disassemble the stretcher, check whether the adult nursing pad is flat, and cover the patient with a quilt to prevent loss of body temperature. During the entire transportation process, pay attention to observe the patient's vital signs, lip color, and whether there is any chills.

text: Anglicanism was brought to the Dominican Republic in 1897 when Benjamin Isaac Wilson migrated from the Virgin Islands. Wilson was a teacher of the Christian faith, and was ordained priest in 1898 by the Bishop of the Independent Haitian Episcopal Church. His primary mission was to serve the English-speaking community in the Dominican Republic. The work of the Episcopal Church began in the Dominican Republic during the occupation of the United States Marine Corps. The Rev. William Wyllie arrived in 1918, and the Rev. Archibald Beer came in 1920. From 1918 until 1960, the supervision of the church was assumed by the Bishops of Puerto Rico and Haiti. In 1940 the General Convention established the Missionary District of the Dominican Republic. The first resident Bishop of the Dominican Republic was the Rt. Rev. Paul Axtell Kellogg, who was consecrated on Mar. 9, 1960. In 1970 it became a missionary diocese, and on Jan. 1, 1986, it became the Diocese of the Dominican Republic.

Kacapi and recitation of pantun stories
It is not certain how long the kacapi has been used to accompany the recitation of pantun stories. In the Sundanese dictionary published by the Lembaga Basa & Sastra Sunda (1976) the primary meaning of the word pantun is given as kacapi.
This may be an indication that the relation between the kacapi and the recitation of pantun stories is an old one. Eringa (1949:3) points to the proverb "kawas pantun teu jeung kacapi", 'like a pantun(-singer) without a kacapi', used of someone who likes to give other people advice but who does not himself practise what he preaches. This proverb, according to Eringa, indicates that the kacapi is the Standard instrument for accompanying a pantun recitation. The Baduy Sundanese of Banten Province still make exclusive use of the kacapi to accompany their pantun stories.

Three WKU Profs Honored for Nature Work
The state Nature Preserves Commission has given three WKU professors its annual award for work that protects biological diversity.
Alfred Meier, Ouida Meier and Scott Grubbs were given this year's Biological Diversity Protection Award for their work creating the Upper Green River Biological Preserve. The preserve is on the banks of the Green River in Hart County.
The Green River is the most important river in Kentucky for the conservation of rare native mussels and fish. It hosts 109 fish species and nearly 60 mussel species. The area is also important for an endangered bat species found on the preserve and as a breeding and migratory habitat for songbirds.
The Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission was created in 1976 to protect the best remaining natural areas of Kentucky.


Two Main Ways About How the Olympics Changed Canada
Any major global event always leaves a city and a nation very different from how it was before the event. The Olympics has been one of the main reasons why some cities have changed their infrastructure and improved their stadiums. Canada had the privilege of hosting the Olympics for the first time in 1976 and have done so in three other seasons. Here are two ways by which the Olympics have changed Canada.
An Inspiration to Several Generations
The 1976 Olympics in Quebec brought a lot of financial strain to the city. Taxpayers had to dig deep into their pockets to make the event happen successfully. However, the results of such a hard investment are still seen to date. Before the games, not many were enthusiastic about the Olympics. It seemed like any other world activity until it landed on Canadian soil.
Since then more people look forward to every Olympic season, even those that were not there when it was hosted in Canada. A lot of kids sign up for Olympic associated sports with the hope that one day they will make not only their family but also their country proud.
The Growth of Host Cities
Calgary had always been a small-town way before the Olympics came to Canada in 1988. Since then, the city still has some sporting events that attract the attention of the media. Mayor Klein might also have a good reason to thank such a significant event. He eventually landed the position of a province's Premier after the games.
Vancouver also has a lot to thank the Olympics for. After hosting the Winter Games in 2010, transport and infrastructure improved immensely. The games brought the construction of the Canada Line, which is an automated transit that only takes 20 minutes from the airport to the heart of the city.


Hand Care
As we all know, kettlebell lifting can wreak havoc on your hands. I, for one, often feel self-conscious giving people a high five because of the blood blisters, callouses, or giant patches of dry skin on my hands. In some gym cultures, ripping your hand is a glorified battle wound that shows you gave your all in a workout. In the kettlebell world, ripping your hand totally sucks because it means your technique was off and/or you might not be able to train tomorrow.
Even if you don't particularly care what your hands look like, there are several factors to keep in mind if you want to lift consistently without tearing up your hands.
How Do You Prevent a Hand Tear?
In short, you must grip the kettlebell correctly (not so hard!), have good technique, use chalk when needed, and maintain your hands by trimming down callouses.
How to Grip the Kettlebell & Execute Good Technique
Here is an article I wrote about gripping the kettlebell correctly. In summary, you should hold the kettlebell with hook grip in the backswing; loose enough so the wrist is straight and forearm is relaxed, but tight enough so the bell doesn't rotate in your palm. Fingers should also be relaxed in the overhead position.
Executing good technique is the hardest to master, of course. Generally when we are talking about blisters, we are talking about the kettlebell Snatch. This video on Snatch drop technique and this video on the 4 most common mistakes on the Snatch drop will be most relevant to hand tears. For additional technique videos, check out my Intro to the Swing and Intro to Long Cycle videos.
Using Chalk to Prevent Rips and Tears
I've had many lifters ask me if chalk is really necessary for kettlebell lifting. The answer is two-fold: for lighter kettlebells and Long Cycle & Jerk lifts, it depends. For heavier kettlebells (20kg and above) and for Snatch, YES you need chalk.
When snatching a light kettlebell, you can get away with using a lot more grip strength in a set. If you're strong and conditioned, you can easily muscle your way to 10 minutes with 12 or 16kg kettlebell. Long Cycle and Jerk do not require a huge amount of grip strength, especially when compared to the Snatch. You may not need chalk in these situations and might actually find that applying chalk hurts your hands MORE because the chalk can make the handle feel rougher.
For the Snatch, however, every little nuance in your technique is about saving your grip. Tiny changes in how you hold the kettlebell overhead or when to accelerate the bell into the overhead position make a HUGE difference over ten minutes. If you don't chalk your kettlebell, at some point during your set the handle will start to slip in your hand, which will cause you to grip the handle harder and fatigue your forearm very quickly. Chalking the kettlebell ensures the bell will stay in the proper place in your hand; when snatching a heavy kettlebell, a slick handle should be the least of your worries.
Similarly, I would advise using chalk for Long Cycle and Jerk above 20kg, since you don't want the kettlebells to shift out of place during your set, which can cause undue fatigue.
Check out my video on the secret to chalking a kettlebell.
Hand Maintenance for Kettlebell Lifters
Letting your callouses grow and become giant bumps on your palm is a great way to ensure a blister or a tear! Instead, try these hand maintenance tips to prevent blisters from occurring so you can lift pain-free.
 - Shave callouses down so they lie flat with the rest of your hand. If you let callouses build up, the bell handle will begin to pull on them and eventually rip them off. It's safer to trim the callouses down yourself beforehand, so you don't get raw skin or blood blisters underneath when you tear your hand lifting.
 - The easiest way to shave the callouses down is to do so after you shower, when the skin is soft. You can use a pumice stone or a ped egg to scrub the top layers of callous away. Know that your hands may be a bit tender afterwards, so I would do it before a rest day so your hands have time to readjust.
 - If you blister your hand, it's best not to rip the blister open, otherwise the skin will dry and crack, which can be painful and takes much longer to heal. If you do get a spot that's dry and cracking, put some sort of balm on.
 - If you rip your hand, cover the skin up with tape or a band aid to keep it moist and facilitate faster healing. You can apply a salve or balm to keep the skin moist.
 - Chalk dries out your hands! Use lotion or hand cream at night to moisturize. You can moisturize before your set, but only if you want to get an intense workout for your grip. ;)
But What if I Rip My Hand... and I Have to Train?
Good news: If you rip your hand, you can still train!
If the tear isn't very deep, simply trim the excess skin off and fill the blister in with chalk to dull the sensation.
If the tear is deep and/or very sensitive, you can successfully tape your palm to prevent additional damage. Here is a great video by my coach Denis Vasilev that shows exactly how to tape your palm so you can continue training.
After training, be sure to follow the hand maintenance tips as outlined above to facilitate faster healing. While it's great to be able to continue training despite a tear, it's always the best idea to keep your hands from ripping in the first place!

Civil disobedience is a way of expressing political opposition that pushes beyond what the law allows you to do, in terms of resistance. It is an act that says "we are deliberately breaking an unjust law." We often talk about it as a problem. In fact, I would argue that our problem is civil obedience. People too readily accept governments that do not hold to their promises.
My first brush with civil disobedience was when I was 15 and in the years since, I've learned a few things about its power, and its limitations. Here's a few of my lessons:
1. Nothing important comes without sacrifice
Protesters in Fordsburg, South Africa. Photograph: Getty Images Photograph: Jurgen Schadeberg/Getty Images
I was one of thousands of young people in South Africa that joined the national student protests against inequality in apartheid education. At that age, you don't always understand the wider context of your actions. The slogan at the front of the march was "we want equality", and at the back it was " we want a colour TV".
Despite this, what we were doing was important: we were resisting by refusing to go to classes and challenging the law that legally prohibited more than four people to march in the streets together. It was only here that I discovered that Nelson Mandela actually existed, and learned about the bigger picture of apartheid in South Africa. The media were restricted in how much they could report on him and so I had never seen his picture.
Following this I led a protest in my community with between 3,000-4,000 people, where the police charged at us with tear gas. The experience of participating in these acts early on affected me in a very direct sense. They taught me the important lesson that nothing important will come without sacrifice, commitment and courage.
2. Stay positive: first they will fight you, but then you will win

South Africa has a strong connection to Gandhi. It was during his time there that he learned his politics, and honed his Satyagraha, which means passive resistance or civil disobedience as we now tend to call it.
There was always a photo of Gandhi in my family home and he was an influential figure for me as I was growing up. I developed a strong adherence to his notion of "soul force". For me, this translated as the importance of being willing to take the violence of the state. The moral authority to take this stance means that ultimately you will succeed in your mission.
My favourite quote is from Gandhi and it is one that is so relevant to civil disobedience today: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, and then you win". If you look at the situation Greenpeace is in, they are fighting us really hard in the courts, they are invading our privacy and preventing our actions. But Gandhi's philosophy makes me optimistic that this is a positive indication that we are closing in on the changes we are campaigning for.
3. When governments respond with force, they help to grow the movement
Arctic 30

The power of civil disobedience as a strategy lies in its moral authority. If you have numbers, diversity of voices, and are able to maintain a peaceful event, then it can be immensely powerful. It speaks to the oppressed and the oppressor in different ways. To the oppressed, or the people affected, it gives them strength to continue their struggle. To the oppressors, exceptional acts of moral courage force them to listen.
The recent Arctic 30 campaign and the arrests it incurred on many activists, myself included, is a good example of this. It is clear that when I was up a rig on the oil ship being bombarded with water for 15 hours, I wasn't doing it for selfish reasons, and nor were any of the Arctic 30 doing it for personal gain. It was remarkable how many heads of state then came out and called for the release of the arrested activists. Governments badly miscalculate when they respond to civil disobedience by throwing activists in prison and assuming this will terrify the public. In fact, the effect is always the opposite: it helps to grow the movement. It forces those in power to recalibrate and recognise the democratic intent of what activists are trying to achieve.
4. Be patient, failure is integral to the path to progress

You could say most acts of civil disobedience fail because they don't get results immediately. In the case of Arctic 30 they failed because oil was eventually drilled and removed from the area. But on the flipside, we now have more than 10 million people campaigning to have the Arctic declared a global sanctuary with no industrial activities. It is important to remember that not everything that counts can be measured.
We can learn from those who have engaged in civil disobedience in the past that it wasn't their first action that delivered their result. For Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks, it was an accumulation of lots of different actions over a long time.
5. Explore the potential of digital civil disobedience
How has technology and social media changed the way civil disobedience is expressed? Photograph: Indranil Mukherjee/AFP/Getty Images Photograph: INDRANIL MUKHERJEE/AFP/Getty Images
Wikileaks and the Edward Snowden NSA revelations created an opportunity for people to know what governments were hiding from them and have changed the whole debate around privacy. These are good examples of digital civil disobedience.
I think the social media space has thrown up a lot of possibilities for civil disobedience, protest and the strengthening of civil society generally. When you look at resistance during the Arab spring, people used Facebook to spread the word, Twitter to tell people where to be when, and YouTube to document and share what they experienced and what they achieved. The question is what laws do you break online in terms of pushing that space? At Greenpeace we are trying to make sense of this new area but the future looks promising.
Today, unlike 50 years ago there are lots of forums for engagement between civil society and those in business and government. This is evident at UN meetings, where national civil society groups are invited to take part of the consultative process. I think we've long chased after some sort of explosion of democracy, and the idea that success would be when governments wanted to talk to us. But I think we should beware of the value of some of these engagements. Sometimes they are more insults than anything else, just a box-ticking exercise. We may need a different measure of meaningful progress.

Changing Method Names
ObjectiveCName Annotation
You can annotate any Java method with _USER_ to change the translated name of that method and any method that overrides it. For example:
public void setTime(int hours, int minutes, int seconds) {
is translated as:
- (void)setTimeWithHours:(jint)hours
Mapping File
Method names can be changed using the --mapping flag, which takes a properties file with the mappings to use. Each method mapping is defined with the full Java method signature for the key, and an Objective-C selector value. For example, the line to map Object.equals() to NSObject.isEqual: is:
java.lang.Object.equals(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z = isEqual:
The left hand declaration is the full method signature, as defined by the Java Virtual Machine Specification. The right hand definition consists of the iOS selector (i.e. what you would pass to _USER_()). The method and its mapping must have the same number of parameters.
As another example, this line is equivalent to the example in the previous section:
pkg.ClassName.setTime(III)V = setTimeWithHours:minutes:seconds:
Additional mapping files can be specified on the command-line, using the --mapping option.


Cathy Rentzenbrink: The Long Journey to Grief
Cathy Rentzenbrink is an acclaimed author and speaker.
Her memoir, The Last Act of Love, is about the life and death of her beloved brother, Matty, and the impact this had on her life. Matty was left in a Persistent Vegetal State following a car accident just weeks before receiving his GCSE results.
'At what point does a human life cease to be worth living? This question lies at the heart of Cathy Rentzenbrink's extraordinary memoir.' – The Times
In this discussion with Dr Lesel Dawson, a lecturer at the University of Bristol, Cathy talks about the trauma and grief of her brother's accident, and how what happened to him made it difficult to experience or process the grief that followed.
She explores the ethical complexities of decision making around people in Persistent Vegetal States, and how time doesn't relieve grief in and of itself, but rather it's what you do with time. She explains how writing and sharing her story started to help her process her grief, revealing what she wishes she could say to her younger self. Cathy also offers wider advice for those experiencing grief and loss.
Cathy's other books include A Manual for Heartache, which offers a broad look at sorrow, anguish, despair, loss; and Dear Reader, a joyous and moving exploration of Cathy's lifelong love of books, and the ways that reading has influenced her life and supported her mental health and wellbeing.
Dr Lesel Dawson is a Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Bristol, specialising in grief, Renaissance literature and the history of the emotions. She's leading a research project on Creative Grieving and writing a book that explores how art and the imagination can enable the bereaved to express and process their loss.

Dried fruit and nuts are sometimes consumed together as a whimsically-named product: "trail mix". That's not the only reason these two products fall in the same category on this web page. Both dried fruit and nuts are natural products that usually undergo post-harvest processing before they are sold to customers or consumers. Moisture mistakes for both these product categories are similarly painful: too much water means mold; too little means lost profit, not to mention quality issues.
Most growers or buyers use moisture content to determine if tree nuts or dried fruit are too "wet". This can cause problems. First, the moisture level that causes mold is different for every kind of nut or dried fruit. Second, loss-on-drying moisture isn't a very precise method for measuring moisture - the answer you get depends on the method you use.
Water activity is different. It's a snap to identify bad batches that could mold: any product over 0.7 aw can mold, anything under that value won't. It doesn't matter what your product is. Using water activity as a standard can eliminate the guesswork over whose moisture meter is right. Two water activity meters measuring the same sample will give the same reading. If you really want to know your moisture content, a new version of AquaLab can give you both moisture content and water activity from the same reading.
Dried fruit and nuts last a long time on the shelf, but not forever. In the end, lipid oxidation and other chemical or enzymatic reactions make the product unpalatable. Because water activity is a measure of energy, it influences how quickly these reactions occur.


Javascript Dates, Y2K etc.
The treatment of the year value in Javascript dates is incompatible between Netscape 4 (Javascript 1.3 and ECMAScript) on the one hand, and Netscape 3 (Javascript 1.2) on the other hand. The question then arises, whether we can deduce the correct year from the value of date.getYear(), without needing to know which version of Javascript we're dealing with. Netscape 2 just covers a restricted date range, and needs no additional consideration here re. coding.
It's amusing that many of the free "cargo cult" Javascripts found on the web, despite their baroque complexity, don't work for even one version of Javascript, outside of the range _PHONE_, presumably because the authors couldn't be bothered to RTFM before starting to write their code.
Of course, the actual problem goes away in Netscape 4/ECMAScript, because you can use getFullYear to get a clearly defined answer. But if we want the code to run without modifications or extra tests on NS3 (and NS2 where applicable), this would not do.
A pertinent answer is given in the Javascript FAQ and, I'm tickled to see, gives the same getYear()-based solution that I deduced for myself.
What the specs say
Netscape 3 (Javascript 1.2):
The getYear method returns either a 2-digit or 4-digit year:
For years between and including 1900 and 1999, the value returned by getYear is the year minus 1900. For example, if the year is 1976, the value returned is 76.
For years less than 1900 or greater than 1999, the value returned by getYear is the four-digit year. For example, if the year is 1856, the value returned is 1856. If the year is 2026, the value returned is 2026.
Netscape 4 (ECMAScript, Javascript 1.3)
Year minus 1900
I don't see any mention of years BC, so it's possible that they aren't dealt with; any attempt to deal with them would mean that you couldn't tell the difference between say 1800 (for which Netscape 4 would return a getYear of -100) and a certain year BC (for which Netscape 3 would presumably return -100, though I don't find this actually documented). So let's exclude years BC from our consideration.
Also, I've made no attempt to consider what happened as a result of the calendar change in 1752 (nor any calendar changes before that). John Stockton commented on Usenet:
1582/3 is not special to javascript; nor is 1752 (except that javascript can represent dates which did not occur everywhere).
Netscape documentation for Netscape 3, as already noted, says that except for years _PHONE_, it returns a "4-digit" year. This seems to limit the range of applicability to the years 1000-9999AD. There is no clear statement of what happens for years outside this range. So let's exclude those from our considerations too.
On that basis:
Let's set an upper cutoff year of 2899. Then values of getYear of 2000 upwards can only occur with JS1.2 and we don't add 1900.
To cut a long story short: if we test getYear against 1000, then lower values (i.e 0-999 and negative values) should have 1900 added to them, whereas other values should be left unchanged. This will then cover the period AD1000 to 2899, assuming that browsers behave as documented. If the answer lies outside of this range then it could be incorrect (although it might be correct, but we'd need to check the version to find out). However, you might want to avoid tangling with dates in 1752 or earlier, to avoid needing to understand possible issues from calendar change(s)!
Final remarks
OK, this was just a bit of pedantic fun. Anyone spot any errors in the logic? Please let me know.

Structural transformation of gold nanorods are investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy after they have been exposed to low-energy femtosecond and nanosecond laser pulses in colloidal solution. The pulse energies were below the gold nanorod melting threshold, but allowed early stage shape transformation processes, It is found that while the as-prepared nanorods are defect-free, laser-irradiation induces point and line defects. The defects are dominated by (multiple) twins and stacking faults (planar defects), which are the precursor that drives the nanorods to convert their {110} facets into the more stable {100} and {111} facets and hence minimize their surface energy. These observations suggest that short-laser pulsed photothermal melting begins with the creation of defects inside the nanorods followed by surface reconstruction and diffusion, in contrast with the thermal melting of the rods or the bulk material, where the melting starts at the surface.

The "historic" simulation line represents the long-term climate response a river might have according to the hydrologic model. If the hydrologic forecast is for near-normal conditions, the "conditional" simulation curve will be similar to the historic simulation curve. If the streamflow forecast is for wetter than normal conditions, the conditional simulation curve will be above the historic curve. Likewise, if the streamflow forecast is for drier than normal conditions, the conditional simulation curve will be below the historic curve.
The slope of the simulation curve indicate the amount of uncertainty associated with a forecast. The flatter the line, the more confident the forecast. The steeper the line, the less confident the forecast.

How to Calculate Square Footage
So you desire to improve the appearance of your room by painting the walls or installing new flooring. No matter what kind of paint or flooring you choose, you need to ascertain the square footage of the floor or the walls. Even though a little bit of mathematics is involved, calculating square footage is not going to be that tough. It is very easy to measure the square footage of a room. All you will require is a measuring tape, paper, pencil and a calculator.
Follow these step by step instructions and it will be you who will be telling people how to measure square footage from now onwards –
- You will need to have two measurements of the floor or the wall you wish to ascertain the square footage. Let us use the floor as an example. With the help of a measuring tape, measure the length of the floor in inches and note down the figure on a piece of paper. Even though we are working on square footage, it is better to measure in inches as it is very uncommon for a floor to have exact even number foot measurement. For instance, a length of a floor is more likely to have measurements such as 12 feet 4 inches instead of a whole number.
- Measure the width of the floor and note it down again on the same piece of paper.
- Once you have the length and width, multiply the two measurements to calculate the figure. You may take the help of a calculator if required. The answer you get is square inches.
- Now you need to divide the answer by 144 to express it as square footage.
The above steps apply for a rectangular or square area. If you wish to measure a triangle area then follow the below mentioned steps –
- Firstly, measure the base of the triangle.
- Secondly, you need to measure the height of the triangle.
- Now you need to multiply the base measurement with the height measurement. You may use a calculator to determine the figure. Once you get the figure, divide the amount by two. The figure you get now is the square footage of a triangle area.
For calculating the square footage of the circular area, you need to measure the radius of the circle, square it up and lastly multiply it by pie (3.1416) to determine the figure.

Local man makes statue for site of 1942 Liberator plane crash
Ireland's worst wartime air crash remembered
Local man makes statue for site of 1942 Liberator plane crash
A local man has made a plaque in honour of the crew and passengers aboard a plane which crashed on the Cooley Mountains in 1942.
Brendan Connolly from the Alphonsus Road made a statute to mark the spot of the crash of the RAF B-24 Liberator and the 15 people who died when it slammed into boggy ground on the side of Slievenaglogh Mountain, in the Rock Marshall Mountains near Jenkinstown during the Second World War.
Brendan also found pieces of what he believes to be parts of the crash, which he had blessed by a priest in StPatrick's Cathedral.
He made a concrete base using bottles of water that he took up the mountain to make the concrete plinth.
A top the plinth he made a concrete cast modelof the Liberator bomber.
Brendan was sponsored by the Greenore Railway Saloon, Quay Sports, Dundalk Plumbing Limited, The Windmall Bar and Lounge, Life Pharmacy, Staunton Office Supplies and Devenney's Print, Stationary and Art Supplies.
The RAF B-24 Liberator crashed into the mountain after getting lost in thick fog while making a trip from Egypt to RAFHurn in Dorset.
The flight crew were told before they reached the half way point in their journey to turn around due to extreme weather conditions.
However - nearing the point of no return - they decided instead to continue on their fateful journey.
Sadly it left its course and running low on fuel, the crew saw the lights of a city which they understood to be Dublin.
The crew decided to attempt a landing at Greencastle Airfield, County Down. However thick mist hampered visibility, resulting in the aircraft crashing into Slieve-na-Gloc and breaking apart on impact.
The alarm was raised by a local man by the name of McKevitt who heard a plane overheard before a loud crash.
After he witnessed the scene he got medical help, and miraculously there were five survivors.
Accounts vary, but ultimately 15 people died as a result of the crash.
Writing in 2006 in the Democrat, former editor and current columnist Peter Kavanagh wrote: "In spite of this, it is my own memory of the times is that many people from Dundalk went out to the scene of the crash in the days and weeks that followedhunting for souvenirs.
"The wreckage of the plane was scattered over a wide area and I recall that at about that time we got a load of turf from the mountain delivered to our homein Dundalk.
"Fuel was very scarce at the point in the war and we burned anything we could get to keep us warm in cold weather.
"Later, when the bottom of the turf pile was reached, my brother found several aeroplane parts, including some heavy ammunition cases, buried in the mould."
David Tolson - a brother of the one of the airmen killed - visited the site with family in 2002.
Brendan statute is not the first memorial on the mountain of course.
Previously Noel Roddy erected a metal plaque near the site.
The plane was one of the three to crash during the war.
A British Hudson bomber crashed killing 3 in 1941 and a P-51 Mustang fighter of the US Army Air Forces crashed in September 1944 killing its pilot.
