The relationship between the amount of information processing in an Attribute Learning task and autonomic activity, measured by skin conductance response (SCR), was investigated. The amount of information processing was manipulated by type of concept and feedback. Furthermore, the influence of practice and verbalization was studied. Three types of concepts were used: conjunction, exclusion and joint denial. The stimulus population consisted of four three-valued dimensions. The results showed that (1) SCR did not differ among concepts; (2) SCR varied with type of feedback, it being smallest at blanks and largest at infirming feedback; (3) SC'R was related to the number of confirmations preceding infirmation; (4) subjects mainly used the strategy'reject hypothesis only after information'; (5) subjects usually selected not-yet-tested hypotheses; (6) practice influenced performance; (7) verbalization did not result in more efficient use of information; however, the appropriateness of the experimental set-up to study this factor was questioned; (8) conjunction was easier to learn than the other concepts. The results were discussed in terms of uncertainty reduction, resulting from testing hypotheses in a concept learning task.

The structure of the blue-black iodine complex of amylose (the linear, helical component of starch), prepared either from iodine and iodide in aqueous solution or from crystalline amylose and iodine vapor, has been studied by resonance Raman and iodine-129 Mossbauer spectroscopy. In both cases it is concluded that the identity of the major chromophore is essentially the same: the pentaiodide (I5-) anion. For the material prepared from iodine vapor, the iodide required for I5- formation is produced by hydrolysis or alcoholysis of iodine. The other product of this reaction, a hypoiodite, has been assigned in the iodine Mossbauer spectrum.

Fundamentals and Metals Futures
The fundamental analyst will look at certain factors to determine where the price of metals like gold and silver might move in the future
There are a few unique factors that the fundamental analyst will use to evaluate trades in the metals futures market, including investment and manufacturing demand.
Uses and Movement of Metals
Many of the metals traded in the futures market are sought after for investment purposes and industrial applications.
The supply and demand of metal futures will be influenced by people using metals as a speculative investment, and those using metals as an input in manufacturing processes. For metals like gold and silver, there is also strong demand from ETFs and other investment funds, as investor appetite for precious metals increases.
For example, gold is used as a speculative investment and in the manufacturing of goods like jewelry and electronics. Gold has always been a unique metal, used as a currency and as a store of value to combat inflation.
Contrast that to copper, where investment demand is virtually non-existent, but the industrial demand is high. The fundamental analyst in this case will look at demand coming from the construction and other industries rather than focusing on copper as an investment.
The demand from each of these sources might move in the same direction at times and in opposite directions at other times.
For example, if the economy is growing rapidly and inflation is increasing, the investment demand for gold might increase as investors buy gold to hedge against inflation. At the same time, the growing economy will most likely create increased demand for industrial gold as consumers buy more products that contain gold.
But, if the economy is contracting, demand for investment gold is likely to increase as investors purchase gold as a stable investment as the equity markets show signs of weakness. At the same time, industrial demand may decrease as consumers demand fewer products in a weakening economy.
Supply is important for metals, but typically demand is the primary driver of price. The overall supply of metals is limited, but the fact that metals can be melted and reused increases the available supply as existing metals are re-melted, lessening the reliance on new production and smoothing out the supply cycle.
For example, once corn is fed to livestock, it is removed from the supply chain and new corn must replace it. But since metals can be reused virtually forever, the metals market supply comes from existing and newly mined inventory.
The main factors effecting demand for metals are economic. Factors such as GDP, inflation and interest rates all play a factor in both industrial and investment demand for metals.
Each of these factors will affect a particular metal differently. Some metals, like gold, will be impacted by all of these economic factors, whereas other metals will not be impacted in the same way. The demand for gold will respond to different factors than the demand for platinum.
Fundamental analysts evaluate a variety of factors, to determine which factors hold more weight than others, and then make trading decisions based on these opinions.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
What is the purpose of the Driver Eligibility Certificate (DEC)?
A DEC is used to determine if a student is maintaining adequate progress toward graduation and has not been suspended for having an illegal substance on campus or assaulting a staff member.
When are grades checked to measure adequate progress?
- At the end of the first semester and at the end of the school year.
- When measuring adequate progress at the end of a school year:
Schools on a traditional schedule use the end of the year grads
Schools on a block schedule use the semester grades.
What happens to students who leave school to attend a Community College?
- When a student leaves a public school to attend a community college and is NOT making adequate progress at the point of withdrawal the public schools should revoke that student's driving privileges.
-When a student leaves a public school to attend a community college and IS making adequate progress the public school should not revoke that students driving privileges.
Who is responsible for issuing a DEC to a student who lives in North Carolina but attends a boarding school out of state?
- A student who has permanent residency in North Carolina but attends a boarding school out of state shall receive a DEC from the school they would normally attend. That school may ask for the following documentation.
 1. Proof of residency within their district
 2. Transcript/report card showing the latest semester from the school.
 3. A letter on school letterhead stating the student is currently in attendance at that school.
 4. A report card/transcript at the end of each semester until the child graduates - making sure the student understands that they will lose driving privileges if this is not presented at the end of each semester
Can Public schools share their DECs with other schools?
No. North Carolina public schools are not permitted to share Driving Eligibility Certificates with conventional non-public schools operating within North Carolina's geographical borders, home schools, community colleges or even other public schools.
Are public schools allowed to revoke private schools students' license?
No. Conventional non-public or home schools located within the State of North Carolina wishing to have a student driver's license revoked must contact the North Carolina Division of Non-Public Education.
Who can public schools issue DECs to?
Only to students who are currently enrolled in that public school. Public schools may not issue a DEC to a student who currently attends or is enrolled in a conventional non-public school within North Carolina, a home school, community college or an out-of-state correspondence or other distance learning program.
How does Dropout Prevention (DOP)/Lose Control Lose License (LCLL), affect minors who are emancipated?
- Emancipated minors are still affected by both the Dropout Prevention and the lose Control Lose Your Licenses Laws.
Is a hardship permanent?
Yes. Hardships should only be granted under extreme circumstances. Once a student has been granted a hardship, however, his/her driver's license should not be revoked again.
Can the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), or the Division of Community Colleges issue DECs or grant hardships?
No. Hardships can be granted only by the chief administrator (or his/her designee) of the North Carolina school in which the student is currently enrolled.
Who is responsible for charges incurred when a license is revoked in error?
- If a school revokes a student's license in error and the student has to have a duplicate license issue the school system is responsible for the duplication fee.
What is the earliest date a student under a LCLL suspension can be issued a DEC?
- A student who is under a Lose Control Lose Your License suspension may only be issued a DEC after at least 6 months has expired from the date the license was suspended, and the student demonstrated exemplary behavior and successfully completed a drug and alcohol counseling program (for those suspend for drugs or alcohol on campus). DMV examiners cannot accept a DEC for a LCLL suspension before the end of the 6-month waiting period.
When should the school send the names of licenses to be revoked to the DMV?
- A school should wait the determined time period to receive any hardship requests after notifying parents of the student's license revocation before sending the names to the DMV.
- It is imperative that schools revoke a student's driving privileges immediately following the 30 day grace period post withdrawal.
- It is also important that once a student drops out of school and their name is sent to the DMV that their name is removed from the list so that it is not inadvertently sent in again to the DMV.
How does summer school affect students who lose their license under DOP?
At the end of the school year (once final grades are posted), non-public schools should send DNPE their license revocation recommendations. At the conclusion of summer school, those students eligible may then receive a DEC from their North Carolina non-public school principal in order to have their license re-instated. Schools should not wait until summer school is over to turn in the names of students not making progress toward high school graduation.
When errors occur...
- If a school places a suspension in error it is important that DPI is contacted and the suspension is deleted. If suspension placed in error are not delete the student may incur increases in their insurance premiums.
-Schools should use extreme caution when entering suspension so, as not to label a student as a Lose Control suspension when it should been under Drop Out Prevention. Each suspension has different guidelines for reinstatement and special attention should be paid when entering this information.

Mathematical Biology Seminar
Date/Time/Room: Thursday (11/8/2001) at 2:00 pm in 118 Life Science
Department of Biology,
University of Texas at Arlington
''The Wonderful World of Ion Channels''Abstract: Ion channels are membrane proteins that control a variety of cell functions such as excitability, secretion, and osmotic pressure. Ion channels exist in one of two discrete states, open or closed. The time a channel spends in a given state depends on the external stimuli and defines the channel function. This binary "behavior" of ion channels makes them very attractive targets for modeling and mathematical analysis. During this seminar we will discuss the interactions between mathematics and biology in the field of ion channel research.

can a spider plant grow in something other that water? (ex: vinegar, liquid jell-o, coffee)

That's a very interesting question! I am thinking the acid in vinegar might be a problem. But jello -- mostly sugar, gelatin, water, and coloring, right? Coffee? Hmm, is the chemical makeup of coffee?
I found a lot of information about spider plants on Google when I typed "Growing spider plants." It seems that maybe too much water could be a problem -- whether it is coffee or jello. So you will need some kind of control -- perhaps distilled water and another control grown in soil. One reference on the web said chemicals are a problem --so you might compare distilled water to water from a creek or even your street after a storm.
A basic scientific approach is to understand the dimensions you are studying (usually called dependent variables). For example -- the amount of water and the properties of the water could affect the growth of the plants. The acidity of the water is another variable.
When you test other liquids such as coffee and vinegar, you'll need to know how they are related, and this will suggest other liquids to test. For example, given that vinegar is acidic, you could also use milk, which is non-acidic (pH > 7). In this case, you'd want to measure the pH of the coffee. This doesn't mean that pH is a critical factor, but it's one of the differences you'll need to consider between the liquids you test.
As another example, jello has sugar in it. So in using jello you might actually be testing how sugar affects the growth of spider plants.
To summarize, you'll need to understand some of the properties of the liquids -- a way to relate them chemically -- or your results will be perhaps interesting, but not tell you anything fundamental about the growth of spider plants.
I hope this is helpful to get started.

A method for 3D model content-based search and retrieval based on the 3D Radon transform and a querying-by-3D-model approach, is presented. Descriptors are extracted using the 3D Radon transform and applying a set of functionals on the transform coefficients. Similarity measures are then created for the extracted descriptors and introduced into a 3D model-matching algorithm. This results to a very fast and accurate matching method. Experiments were performed using two different databases and comparing the proposed method with others. Experimental results show that the proposed method can be used for 3D model search and retrieval in a highly efficient manner.

Kings into Gods
Vittorio Cotesta, Università degli Studi Roma Tre
One might be surprised, astonished or indignant seeing men and women prostrating themselves in front of other men and other women. Or one might feel it is right to bow down before God, Allah, the saints, the Holy Virgin or the gods. Kings into Gods: How Prostration Shaped Eurasian Civilizations investigates the reasons why men prostrate themselves before deities or before powerful men. Through an in-depth historical and cultural analysis, this book highlights the connection between rituality and royalty within the Eurasian civilizations. The narrative and iconic documentation gathered and analyzed concerns the Greek and Roman world, the Mongolian civilization during the Middle Ages, the Hindu and Chinese civilizations, the Islamic civilization in India in the fourteenth century, the Mughal civilization and European civilization in the late Middle Ages. The different forms of the rituals in the courts of kings and emperors are tightly connected with the concept of royalty. The prostration is an act of humiliation of defeated enemies, a means to establish a abysmal distance between powerful elite and the people, a way of creating hierarchies within the elite itself.

The GJK algorithm depends upon a function in its loop that updates the simplex and search direction for the next iteration (which is often called something like DoSimplex() or ProcessSimplex()). In order to find the next simplex, the algorithm divides the current simplex into regions, and determines which region contains the origin.
Here is an example of the regions for a 1-simplex (i.e. a line). In this example, the simplex previously only contained point B, and then point A was added in the direction of the origin.
GJK simplex regions
Now it makes sense to me why the origin can't be in region 4, since we just came from there. However, I can't think of any case where the origin would be in region 1 either. We just traveled from B to the origin, and if we didn't reach the origin, then we know there was no collision. So won't the origin always be in 2 or 3? Why does every algorithm always check whether the origin is in region 1?

I discovered my answer. If the origin is in region 1, then it is a termination condition. It means that the origin isn't inside the Minkowski Difference, and therefore the shapes are not colliding. We just return the single point so that the next loop will terminate, and we can keep our support code general, without any special casing for exiting early.

In yesterday's ACTVAC handicap results I have included the AST% figures, and will do so in future, because they are an interesting way of comparing the times of each runner which takes their age into account.
What are AST percentages?
AST stands for "Age Standard Times". They are calculated against the actual age of each competitor in an event.
In 1989 the World Association of Veteran Athletes (WAVA) developed the first age-graded tables in one-year age increments and they have since been updated.
The tables are composed of world class standards as a function of both age and distance. That means that for every age starting at age 8 and going to age 100 there are standards for every long distance running event, for every common track & field event, and for race walking.
Using the data in the tables it is possible to determine an age graded time (as seen in the results of the Australian Masters Championships in Hobart) and the equivalent percentage (as provided yesterday and with most ACTVAC results.)
Here's an example of how the calculations are done for three masters men in a 10K race.
In the above example, the 64 year old man had the best performance, even though he had the slowest finishing time.
Rough "classifications" are recognised to be as follows:
100%= Approximate World Record Level
Over 90%= World Class
Over 80%= National Class
Over 70%= Regional Class
So when you see the AST% listed, you know that the higher scores are the better results. The scores give everyone a new incentive to improve their performances in a measurable way. And provide you with new rivals to challenge as you try and get a higher AST% than someone who has been ahead of you. Not to mention an extra reason to celebrate your birthday every year, not just every five years!
Are you short of energy?
Here's Katy's solution!

There is a new proposed bill in town, which attempts to create tax incentives to encourage employers to voluntarily support paid parental and medical leave programs. The proposed bill would also encourage employees to save for time away from work during these times, specifically through leave savings accounts for which the employee can contribute up to $5,000 of wages, annually, to pay for leave-related expenses. Leave-related expenses include things like caring for the birth of a child or for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition. The bill would allow employees to claim a state income tax deduction for the amounts they or their employer contribute to the savings account and grant employers that pay an employee for leave between 8 to 12 weeks an income tax credit, equivalent to 15% of the amount paid. Employers who contribute to employees' leave savings accounts would also receive an income tax credit.
This is not the first time a paid family leave bill has been proposed in Colorado. Indeed, just last year, there was a proposed bill, titled "FAMLI Family Medical Leave Insurance Program." The original drafting of the bill, which was much more aggressive, attempted to implement a statewide paid family and medical leave insurance program, funded by both workers and employers. Unlike the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, this would have applied to employers of all sizes. Many of Colorado's top business associations opposed the original drafting of the bill and the bill eventually morphed into the creation of task force, becoming law in May 2019. The bill, as passed, creates a study of the implementation of a paid family and medical leave program through this task force. The bill requires the department of labor and employment to contract with experts in the field of paid family and medical leave to report on the establishment of a paid family and medical leave program, and request information from third parties that may be willing to administer all or part of the leave program.
What do these two bills mean for paid sick leave in Colorado? Though we are not there yet, paid sick leave is the trajectory and legislators continue to push forward in their pursuits. Jackson Lewis will continue to track changes with this Colorado legislation. Stay tuned.

Sorting optimization for Sawmill stock
On the beginning of production you have sawlogs. On the other end you have timber in several sizes.
When sawmill usually buy sawlogs it has to sort it in some boxes prior to sawing. Number of boxes can be different from sawmill to sawmill. (Of course some technologies allow skip sorting).
So. Let's imagine that you are already sorting logs in some ways, for example with diameter step of 10mm. Then I give you these questions:
1. Is this sorting optimal?
2. For particular timber size... from which box You take sawlog to achieve optimum yield?
Sorting Optimization" module give you answers for this questions.
So, base on:
- real production (timber sizes)
- input sizes of logs
You can answer on questions:
- how should I sort logs optimally, if I need for example 12 boxes?
- I need to produce board with sizes 22x50.... from which box I have to take sawlogs?
As a result you will have:
for defined number of boxes you obtain suggested sorting of logs (4 optimization methods). Of course you can modify sorting as you wish. You can split adjacent boxes, join them or move borders between them.
Then for each timber size you obtain recommended boxes (numbered by priority).
So, you get for example results:
Box1: sawlog diameter from 100 to 102mm
Box2: sawlog diameter from 103 to 110mm
And then:
For timber 20x40 is the best to take sawlogs from box #3, then from box #2 etc.etc.

The results showed that people engage in gardening and related activities for both psychological and environmental reasons.
The researchers used qualitative and quantitative methods to explore participants' attitudes toward horticultural activities. In the first study, seven themes and several subthemes of attitudes were induced from open-ended interviews with participants. Based on interview results, a questionnaire was designed and a quantitative survey was conducted to identify the dimensions of attitudes toward horticultural activities. The researchers extracted five critical "dimensions of attitudes" toward horticultural activities: increasing positive mood, improving the environment, leisure belief, improving social relationships, and an attitude the researchers label 'escaping'.Respondents rated the dimension of 'increasing positive mood' highest, indicating an emphasis on psychological benefits such as feeling glad, pleased, optimistic, relaxed, tranquil, and comfortable as the essence of their attitudes toward horticultural activities. The researchers also found that that engaging in horticultural activities can provide people opportunities to forget worries, transfer attention, or experience another way of life, or 'escape'. That the respondents rated the dimension of 'escaping' so high emphasizes the importance of the restorative benefits of contact with nature, observed the scientists.
Participants also rated 'improving the environment' as a critical dimension of their attitudes toward horticultural activities. This is a notable change from the well-known Leisure Attitude Scale (LAS), a 1982 model widely used by researchers in the leisure field; the LAS does not include 'improving the environment'.
"To further promote horticultural activity as a form of leisure, it is crucial to first ascertain participants' attitudes about it. Our research shows that horticultural activities are beneficial not only for individuals, but also for the environment", the researchers wrote.

sixtieth anniversary of the victory over fascism, a public action called the St. George Ribbon was held. It was initiated by the RIA Novosti news agency and the Student Community ROOSPM.
From this time on, the Guards Ribbon was again called the St. George, and the actions dedicated to it became annual.Thousands of activists hand out ribbons to those who wish in this way to express their gratitude to our veterans. Black and gold ribbons, symbolizing the courage and heroism of Russian soldiers, are attached to the clothes, bags and antennas of cars. The action is held under the motto "I remember, I am proud." Thus, the story of the St. George Ribbon, briefly outlined in this article, has been continued.

ROOS is an acronym for "Rose Object Orientation for Scheme". It is a simple and small OO system that can be used for OO easy programming. Without comments, the code is only about 350 lines of scheme code and some 700 lines of C code. ROOS is remotely modelled after the Perl OO model.
Although simple, ROOS has a lot of features.
In ROOS, a class definition is actually a function definition. When called, this function returns a closure, with which it has instantiated an 'object'.
Within the bounds of a ROOS object, all functions that are local to a class can be called directly. They are within the 'class closure'.
ROOS knows private methods, public methods, private member variables and public member variables.
ROOS has limited generic function capabilities. It will not make existing scheme definitions generic (e.g. '+'). Instead, it defines a macro, that converts a generic function call on an object to the '->' representation of this call.
ROOS has three kinds of object member calling interfaces (to the same object).
A scheme variable representing an instantiated class is an object. Public methods in the class and it's supers are available to the object by calling them through a generic function or the '->' function.
The 'this' variable can be used from within a function defined in the class. When a public method is called through the 'this' variable, it is virtual, i.e. the method is called through the external object that is represented by 'this'.
The'supers' variable can be used from within a function defined in the class. It is used to call a method that is defined in the super classes of a class. This call will not be 'virtualized'.
All member variables or methods that are marked 'public', are virtual, when called via an object interface, except when called via the'supers' object interface.
All private functions are only available within the context of a class closure itself. They cannot be called through an object, this, or supers.
ROOS provides macros to support named variables processing.
ROOS has object-proxying support. It is possible with ROOS, to proxy methods of other objects through an existing object by just adding the other objects to the proxy list of the given object.
Proxy support is not the same as inheritance. It basically allows for adding a member variable of type ROOS to the external interface of the class which holds the member variable. It's implementation is currently quite static, in that object proxying doesn't allow for removing the proxied objects.
Object proxying is especially usefull in situations, that inheritance cannot be used, but it is desirable to have the proxied object's methods at the interface level of the object, which holds the proxied object.
An example is a class that derives from two classes that derive from the same base class. The public members of the base class are virtual (all public members in ROOS are virtual). If a member of the base class is called, it will be a virtual call, desending from the outside of an object to the base object. Calling this member from either base object level will result in a call to only one of the base objects members. Using proxying, this situation can be avoided.
Inline documentation. ROOS supports inline documentation. When the documentation is generated, the class hierarchy will be part of the (linked) documentation. Documentation will be written in pod. For more information see ROOS inline documentation.
An Example of a Roos class definition
>(def-class (this (a-class a b) (c 'hello)) (supers) (private (define h (* a b)) (define x 0)) (public (define (set a) (set! x (* a h))) (define (get-plus a) (+ (-> this get) a)) (define (get) x)) (constructor (display c)(newline) (set! x h))) >(def-class (this (x2 c)) (supers (a-class c c)) (private) (public (define (get) (* (-> supers get) (-> supers get)))) (constructor)) >(define obj (x2 4)) hello >(display (-> obj get)) 256 >(def-generic set) >(def-generic get) >(set obj 2) >(display (get obj)) 1024 >(class? x2) _TAG_ >(class obj) (x2 (a-class)) >(class=? obj 'b-class) _TAG_ >(class=? obj a-class) ; Note it also works without symbols _TAG_ >(object? obj) _TAG_ >(-> obj get-plus 10) 1034
Class definition parts
def-class, a class is defined.
def-class provides a strict
template to define a class, which is a followup of directives
constructor and optionally
explicit-cleanup parts. Each directive makes up for a part of the class definition.
this, the definition of the class is given.
this can be used
internally in the functions of the class to refer to its instantiated
(def-class (this (operation2 _a _b)) (supers) (private (define a _a) (define b _b)) (public (define (operation2 a b) 'nil) (define (calculate) (-> this operation2 a b))) (constructor)) (def-class (this (add a b)) (supers (operation2 a b)) (private) (public (define (operation2 a b) (+ a b))) (constructor)) > (define a (add 3 4)) > (-> a calculate) 7 >
In this example,
(-> this operation2 a b) calls the virtual function
this part can contain extra declarations, that will be part of
let* construct. Example:
>(def-class (this (x2 _a _b) (c (* _a _b)) (d _TAG_)) (supers) (private (define a _a) (define b _b)) (public (define (mutated) d) (define (x2-orig) c) (define (x2. args) (if (null? args) (* a b) (begin (set! d _TAG_) (set! a (car args)) (set! b (cadr args)) (x2))))) (constructor)) >(define a (x2 4 3)) >(-> a x2-orig) 12 >(-> mutated) _TAG_ >(-> a x2 5 6) 30 >(-> a x2) 30 >(-> a x2-orig) 12 >(-> a mutated) _TAG_ >(-> a x2 4 3) 12 >(-> a mutated) _TAG_
supers, the used super classes are instantiated. They can be called
with parameters as defined in the
this part, as can be seen from the
supers can be used to explicitly call members of
super classes from withing an object.
The definitions in the
private part can only be accessed from within
the current defined class (or closure). They are invisible to the
All definitions in the
public part can be accessed both from within
the current closure and from the outside world. Additionally, all definitions,
when called through
this are virtual, i.e., the member functions or
variables they represent will be searched starting at the outer side of
an instantiated object.
constructor part is used to initialize an instantiated object.
destructor part, as all variables are collected using
garbage collection. If explicit destruction is needed (e.g., because
a file needs to be closed), an optional
explicit-cleanup part can
roos-cleanup or -< can be used to destruct an object
explicitly. Construction is done from inside to outside, i.e., first
all supers are constructed (from left to right), then, the current
class is constructed.
explicit-cleanup part can be added to be used
as a destructor.
explicit-cleanup parts are called outside to inside,
i.e. first the current object closure is destructed, then, its supers
(from left to right).
It is possible to do virtual calls from within the inner parts of the object being cleaned. However, these calls must take into account, that object data of outher parts may already have been cleaned and invalidated.
roos-cleanup calls the
explicit-cleanup parts. It also
invalidates the given object, so that it can no longer be used.
As of version 0.30 of ROOS,
roos-cleanup has been made a member function
of a ROOS object itself. So it is possible to delete
(- this roos-cleanup)>, which will call
roos-cleanup from outside
in. The whole object structure is invalidated using this call, and from
outside in, all
explicit-cleanup parts are executed before invalidating
that specific part of the structure.
By calling the defined function in the
this part of the class definition,
an object is instantiated. Objects are instantiated in the following order:
First, all super classes are instantiated one by one in depth first order.
After instantiating the super classes, the
thisreference to the current closure is propageted down to all instantiated'super' objects, after which the constructor of the current class is called.
Note, that while instantiating a class, the
this operator in
(-> this...)
operates only from the current class on to the super classes. There are no virtual
functions at this point.
Member functions can be called using a number of different constructs:
(-> object member arg1...): This construct can be used to call a member of a

This is a theoretical comparison between the costs involved in operating a diesel, electric or gas/petrol counter balanced forklift truck over a period of say 5 years. The comparison gives the cost for an activity cycle per forklift truck.
What is meant with activity cycle is a task for instance to pick up a load and transport it say 25 meters, place the load in a rack (2.5 meters high) and travel back to fetch another load. The cost comparison model has been so designed to calculate the cost involved in the performance of any combinations of activities to form an activity cycle.
This is a theoretical cost model and no environmental aspects are taken into account.
|THE COST COMPARISON MODEL|
The model is divided into the following sub sections.
These are the performance of the particular make and type of forklift trucks in use e.g. max travel speed, lifting speed, etc.
No detail is given here of the further stages of the model - it covers inter-alia the following:
This is the work cycle the forklift is doing. As mentioned in the introduction, each activity cycle is a combination of individual activities. For each activity you must give information such as distance to be travelled, percentage of max speed, etc.
These are the items such as the motor sizes driving the battery operated truck, fuel consumption and tank sizes. These variables are used to determine the power needed to perform each activity cycle.
This is where the fixed cost for the equipment is calculated. The model assumes the equipment would be financed by a 5 year period loan and that the equipment has a residual value at the end of the 5 years. The loan period can be adapted. Tax aspects are ignored but can be added to the model if required.
This is all the operating costs such as: fuel, tyres, maintenance and labour.
All costs are added to obtain a cost per activity cycle as performed in a 5 year period, with other words what that particular activity costs the user during the "life" of the forklift truck in present value rand terms per forklift truck and for the required fleet size.
|SOME COMPARISON RESULTS|
The model has been used for the three different activity cycles. For all three activity cycles the same performance and cost variables have been used, only the activities have been changed.
Activity cycle one: Is for small movements and lifting. Like order picking and truck loading type of activities where the forklift truck does not need to travel over long distances, but is doing a lot of load handling.
Activity cycle two: Is more medium travelling distances and moving. The type of activity were a pallet is moved from the palletisation area to for instance a cold store and placed in a rack.
Activity cycle three: Is for moving of loads over longer distances. Typical operations would be moving loads between warehouses or cold stores where trailer transfer is possibly called for.
It should be noted that this is just an example of what the model can do. End results are very much dependent on the variables entered into the model.
The time taken to complete an activity cycle therefore is very much dependent on the performance parameters of each forklift.
|Interesting to note that the running cost for activity cycle one does not differ very much between the forklifts.|
|Both the LP Gas and Electric forklift trucks do much better in smaller activities such as in activity cycle 1.|
Because the model can accept virtually any forklift task and operation cycle, it is an ideal program to use in order to determine the relative cost of the activity cycle when using each forklift propulsion type - even, within limits, different forklift makes, or more importantly when using larger or smaller capacity forklift trucks to do the same task.

At Wednesday's ribbon cutting ceremony for Imagine Riverside's new Coachella school on Avenue 50, students said the Pledge of Allegiance in both English and Spanish - a taste of what's to come at the dual-immersion school.
"All of the different areas in both languages," Dr. Grace Jimenez of Imagine Riverside said.
You can find Imagine public charter schools all over the country. There are a total of 70 schools in 12 states, with about 38,000 students.
"Dual immersion is a little different than bilingual. It means students will be proficient in two languages, bi-literate in English and Spanish," Jimenez said.
Right now the school teaches kindergarten and first graders. Each year, Imagine Riverside will add a grade until it reaches K-8.
"It's really important for students nowadays to be ready for a global economy. We are preparing students for jobs that aren't even existing right now," Jimenez said.
A necessary education in two languages causes a lot of demand.
"We do have a list of students waiting to be in classrooms and we do have an overage of students right now. We are seeing to break those up into smaller groups and have more attention to your students," she said.
Parents watched their children at the ceremony, feeling lucky their sons and daughters will get this opportunity.
"I think it's great especially for Spanish speaking families. My child doesn't speak spanish at all but she's here, and I wouldn't say she's fluent, but getting there," father Osiel Salinas said.

Who is Godbee from Olive's Ocean and what is their importance?
In English & Literature | Asked by bookragstutor
Asked from the Olive's Ocean study pack
Godbee from Olive's Ocean is Martha's grandmother. They don't know one another that well so when she goes to visit Godbee, her grandmother suggests that each day they are together that they tell one thing about themselves to each other. Martha agrees and discovers that they have a lot in common. She also appreciates the fact that her grandmother seems to 'get' her and doesn't ridicule the notion that she wants to be a writer. Godbee is a good study of human nature and is easier with the rules than Martha's parents.

Wings 3D/User Manual/User Interface/The Information Line
The Information Line
The Information Line runs along the bottom of the main Wings window. This is probably the most important thing to keep your eye on, especially if you are new to Wings. The Information Line's main purpose is to display every possible button option available for any operation, tool, or menu item. Many of the tools and menu options have more than one function, and some of the more advanced options are only displayed in the Information Line. To display any menu item's possible options or described function, simply hover over the item with the mouse cursor.
The Information Line uses the letters L, M and R for the Left, Middle and Right mouse buttons. When several options are available for a tool, menu item, or during an operation, those options are displayed in the Information Line preceded by L, M, or R. Sometimes the user will be prompted to depress a Modifier Key in conjunction with the designated mouse button. Modifier Keys are often Control , , or , or sometimes a combination of two or more are used with the mouse buttons. There are other instances when Numeric or other keys are used to present option. In cases where Number Keys are used to change the result of a command, Do Not Use The Number Pad Keys. For Number Key Modifiers in the Information Line, use the Number Keys across the top of your keyboard instead.
IMPORTANT: The Information Line Displays Important Information About Tools, Menu Items and Other Options Available During An Operation. Remember To Always Keep An Eye On The Information Line.

Crabs sound out their ideal reef home
Coastal acoustics Sounds given off by coastal reefs help crab larvae to settle into their ideal coastal home, say New Zealand researchers.
Marine scientist Dr Jenni Stanley and colleagues from the University of Auckland report their findings today in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
"The reef is a very very noisy place," says Stanley, who says there is a range of noises produced by reef-dwelling animals.
These include low-frequency grunts and howls from fighting and mating fish, the click of crustacean claws and the chorus of sea urchin teeth grazing on algae, she says.
"The noisiest organism is the snapping shrimp that produce a pop and crackle that sounds like something frying in a fry pan."
Stanley says previous studies have found such sounds, which can reach up to 130 decibels, help guide marine larvae towards the coast where they mature and reproduce.
She and colleagues studied the role of sound in the helping five species of marine crabs to settle on coastal reefs.
The crab larvae swim sometimes tens of kilometres from offshore to the coast. When they find a suitable home, they mature by metamorphosing into an adult crab form that is more suitable for crawling than swimming.
Stanley and colleagues have found that as well as telling the crab larvae which way the coast is, reef sounds also help them to settle and mature in the right place.
Stanley recorded the sound made by a coastal reef, a harbour and a sandy beach all on the same part of the coast and played these different sounds back to different groups of crab larvae in the lab.
She then measured how long it took the different groups to mature into adult crabs.
Stanley found the time to metamorphosis was shortened by 33 to 47 per cent when the crabs heard the sound of their ideal coastal reef, compared to the sound of a sandy beach.
"The time to metamorphosis was a lot shorter when they were played the sound of an ideal habitat," she says.
Field-based experiments found the time to metamorphosis was shortened by about 21 to 34 per cent.
The relative delay in metamorphosis that occurs when larvae hear their non-ideal environment gives them time to keep looking for the right home.
"If they go to an unideal habitat, sink down to the bottom, have a look around and realise this isn't actually where they want to be, they can rise back up into the water column and do another search pattern for a more appropriate habitat," says Stanley.

BLM Road Numbers - Understanding Township and Range
BLM roads are identified numerically by a legal description based upon a rectangular grid, established from a point in northwest Portland, and spanning the State. From this point, Township grid lines run east and west; Range grid lines run north and south -each six miles apart. The resulting 6-mile squares called Townships are divided into 36 one-mile squares called Sections. Each section is approximately 640 acres.
BLM road signs in the field have three numbers. They identify the Township, Range, and Section from which a road originates. For example:
Numbers after the decimal point indicate another road originating in Section 14.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract Insulin receptors are known to be located on nerve cells in mammalian brain. The binding of insulin to dimerized receptors stimulates specialized transporter proteins that mediate the facilitated influx of glucose. However, neurons possess other mechanisms by which they obtain glucose, including transporters that are not insulin-dependent. Further, insulin receptors are unevenly distributed throughout the brain (with particularly high density in choroid plexus, olfactory bulb and regions of the striatum and cerebral cortex). Such factors imply that insulin, and insulin receptors, might have functions within the central nervous system in addition to those related to the supply of glucose. Indeed, invertebrate insulin-related peptides are synthesized in brain and serve as neurotransmitters or neuromodulators. The present review summarizes the structure, distribution and function of mammalian brain insulin receptors and the possible implications for central nervous system disorders. It is proposed that this is an under-studied subject of investigation.

During this feast people in agri-koli Samaj devote or release a golden coconut in the sea and pray for calmness and protection of their boats and ships they use in sea during fishing. All elders and younger in this community gather at the sea coast to worship the Sea Lord.
All people in the village celebrate this day by dancing, singing and then worshipping on the sea coast. After worship and prayer is done all fishermen go in the sea for fishing and start fishing from that day after a halt in the rainy season. That is why this is the most important festival of Agri Samaj.

How To Prepare A Pressure Cooker To Bake Cake
khao's picture
Have you ever tasted a pressure cooker cake? It tastes as amazing as an oven baked cake; the only difference is that you have to prepare a pressure cooker to bake cake instead of an oven.
The pressure cooker creates pressure and heat from the steam is built in it. By cooking in pressure cooker one not only gets tasty food to eat but also saves on cooking time.
However, there are two ways to bake a cake in pressure cooker; sand way and the water way.
It is up to you, the method you want your cake to be baked as cake made by both these methods are soft and delicious.
The most important part in baking cake in a pressure cooker is to first prepare a pressure cooker to bake cake. So, here is what you need to do:
 - Take a pressure cooker, big enough to contain the baking pan.
 - Wash it firmly with soap solution. The cooker should be free of odor before a cake is baked or else it may spoil the cake's taste.
 - Wipe it with a clean towel.
 - Now, remove the whistle of the pressure cooker. We do not make use of the whistle while baking cake. The vent is let open so that the steam can disperse.
 - If you want to bake cake with sand method, put some sand on the cooker's base not more than an inch. This method is recommended if you do not have a baking stand to keep the baking pan. This helps the baking pan by not letting it touch the surface of pressure cooker.
 - If you have a baking stand for baking pan, follow the water method for baking. Pour water in the pressure cooker, at least one and half inch up from the bottom. Now keep the baking stand in the cooker.
 - Place the baking pan filled with the cake batter on the sand or the baking stand, depending on your method.
 - Put the lid of pressure cooker, without the whistle and let the pressure cooker hear for 45 minutes on low flame.
The cake will be ready; you can check it by putting a toothpick or a knife.

A Hull primary school headteacher has confirmed that the establishment is closed to all pupils after a Covid-19 outbreak.
Bricknell Primary School in Hull is closed until Monday for a deep clean after positive coronavirus cases were confirmed.
Acting Head of Bricknell Primary School, Nicola Waites told Hull Live that the school has a full range of additional measures in place to prevent the spread of infection.
Unfortunately, despite this, several members of the school community tested positive for Covid-19 at the end of last week.
To sign up for the Hull Live newsletter, click here.
She said: "Since then, there have been additional positive cases in other parts of the school.
"On public health advice, the safest option is to close the school for two days to allow a deep clean and further testing of staff to identify any additional cases.
"We plan to open to any unaffected classes again on Monday.
"In the meantime, remote education will resume for all pupils. We would like to thank parents for their understanding and support during a rapidly changing situation."
It comes as frustrated parents across Hull have labelled the return to school a "total shambles" after hundreds of children were sent home and told to self isolate in the first week since schools reopened.
Many parents have called the system "unworkable", with some saying schools reopened too early, while others are calling for a change to the rules so that less pupils are affected when there is a case within their child's class.
Parents say if their child can produce a negative test, they should be allowed back into school.

Both primary and secondary schools reopened their doors to all pupils on March 8, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson closed them to all but vulnerable and key worker children on January 5 to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Primary school pupils are not being tested, but the parents of school-age children can now get tested twice a week if they wish, and can collect their free tests from any local test centre, without an appointment.

Hi, I would be happy to know as to what would be the equivalents for the following 4 tags that are part of weblogic-ra.xml (weblogic specific deployment descriptor for resource adapters). weblogic has what is known as a principal map for security: (provides a mechanism to define appropriate resource-principal values for resuorce adapter and EIS authorization processing, based upon the known WebLogic runtime initiating run time initiating-principal. This map allows for hte specification of a defined set of initiaitng principals and the corresponding resource principal's username and password that should be used when allocating managed connections and connection handles) This has subtags that are, and. (identifies a configuration property name and value that corresponds to an ra.xml config-entry element with the corresponding config-property-name. At deployment time, all values present in a map-config-property specification will be set on the ManagedConnectionFactory. Weblogic has the following tags that are extra as the parameters for connection pooling: (identifies the max number of additional managed connections which the server attempts to obtain during resizing of the maintained connection pool) (indicates whether or not the connection pool should have unused managed connection reclaimed as a means to control system resources) two more related tags are and If anybody can tell me as to how I port a RA with a weblogic-ra.xml that has the above tags, i.e. what tags should I add to geronimo to get the same functionality, that'd be great.... Thanks in advance, Sai

IKEA Foundation - Portfolio Strategy Support
Climate Change is a pressing issue for all but especially for those with minimal resources and vulnerable to its effects. This is the group the IKEA Foundation focuses on through their projects and grants through their portfolio areas focusing on food/agri, energy, livelihoods and entrepreneurship. However, climate change, a confronting and fast approaching threat, was missing from these portfolios. This is why TheRockGroup supported IKEA Foundation in a review of their portfolios to incorporate Climate change into them. As a result Climate Action is now a 5th portfolio category under which the foundation is making a difference though their strategic projects and grants.
IKEA Foundation is has 4 different portfolios under which they fund projects and make grants to make a strategic difference in their impact areas. Recognizing climate change as an issue that needed addressing they asked TheRockGroup to help them review their current portfolio and strategy to find a way to integrate climate change into the portfolio and see how each portfolio can have an impact on climate change.

Our Work
TheRockGroup was asked to do a quick review of IKEA Foundations' current 4 portfolios with the aim of finding a way to incorporate climate change into their actions. Through a benchmark review of other foundations and granting agencies around the globe we made a recommendation to IKEA Foundation on how best to address climate change through their work. As a result a 5th portfolio was created focusing on Climate Action.

Triggerfish, Grey and Queen
Grey and Queen Triggerfish are found on rocky and coral reefs throughout much of the Atlantic Ocean, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. They grow at moderate to fast rates, reach sexual maturity at an early age, and can release millions of eggs.
Grey Triggerfish is commercially caught in the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic, while Queen Triggerfish is mostly caught in the Caribbean Sea. There is little information about the abundance of either species, but one report found that Grey Triggerfish in the Gulf of Mexico is overfished. Management regulations for these species include gear and area restrictions, and annual catch limits have recently been established in all regions.
Most Grey Triggerfish and some Queen Triggerfish are caught with hook and line gear, which causes minimal habitat damage and moderate levels of bycatch.


Suspending and Resuming Service (End User)
When you create a suspend order, you stop service. The customer is still the owner of the service, but no service is being delivered. When you create a resume order, you recommence a service that has been suspended.
You may use suspend and resume orders for a number of reasons:
 - Customers who are going on vacation may want to suspend their newspaper delivery service while they are away.
 - A chain store may have one branch in a remote location that closes for the winter, so it wants to suspend both its phone and internet service to that site for the winter.
 - A phone company may have a policy saying that, if customers have not paid their bills for three months and do not respond to calls from collection agents, the phone company suspends their service. The phone company resumes service after the bills are paid.
 - Customers may report that they have lost their cell phones, and the phone company suspends service to prevent fraud. When the phones are found, the company resumes the service.
To enter a suspend order
 1. Navigate to the Accounts view of the Accounts screen.
 2. In the Accounts list, click the name of the customer who has the service.
 3. Click the Installed Assets view tab.
 4. If necessary, do a query to find the assets to be suspended.
 For example, if you want to suspend service to a site, query on the Point of Service field to find all assets for that site.
 5. In the Installed Assets list, select one or more services with the status of Active.
 6. Click Suspend.
To enter a resume order
 1. Navigate to the Installed Assets view.
 2. In the Installed Assets list, select a service that has the status of Suspended.
 3. Click Resume.

Garnish (g hard).
Entrance-money, to be spent in drink, demanded by jail-birds of new-comers. In prison slang garnish means fetters, and garnish-money is money given for the honour of wearing fetters.

Read My Meter
Your PSNC Energy gas meter measures the amount of natural gas you use each month. Though they vary in size and shape, gas meters record usage by tracking the filling and emptying of the compartments inside the meter.
If you would like to track your usage over time, you can record your readings using our meter reading tracking table (PDF,14KB). But first, it will be helpful to understand how to read your meter. Doing so is easy. Just follow the steps below.
How to Read a Meter
The dials that record the amount of gas used are grouped together in a row of four or five on your gas meter. Each represents a single number in the reading. Here's how to read the meter dials on the meter at your home:
 1. Read the meter dials right to left, writing down the numbers in the same order (right to left).
 2. If the hand points between two numbers, use the lower number. When it points between 9 and 0, always read it as 9.
 3. When a dial pointer appears to be exactly on a number, look back at the dial to the right. If the pointer on that dial has not passed zero, the reading on the dial in question is the lower number.
Reading a Sample Meter
Sample meter
 - Dial A - The hand is in between the 9 and the 0, when the hand is in between two numbers, use the lower number. Dial A's number is 9. (this dial goes clockwise.)
 - Dial B - The hand is between the 2 and the 3, so this dial should be read as 2. (this dial goes counterclockwise.)
 - Dial C - The hand is between the 4 and the 5, so this dial should be read as 4. (this dial goes clockwise.)
 - Dial D - The hand is between the 5 and the 6, so this dial should be read as 5. (this dial goes counterclockwise.)
The correct reading for the sample meter is 5429. This means 5429 hundred cubic feet (CCF) of gas or 542,900 cubic feet.
Is Your Meter Accessible?
Even with Automated Meter Reading technology, PSNC Energy field representatives on occasion will need to manually read your gas meter. To provide the best service, make sure we can reach and read your meter.
 - Keep shrubs trimmed; don't block the meter.
 - Secure your animals if you know there is an appointment scheduled for PSNC Energy to visit your meter.
 - Unlock gates that allow meter access.
 - Never tamper with the meter or paint over the read dials
 - Do not chain or electrically ground anything to the meter.

(In basic pattern, I guess it goes without saying that a basic pattern
is a *finite* set of triple pattens?)
""Definition: Substitution
Substitution is a function from a subset of the set of variables, V,
the domain of the substitution, dom(S), to the set of RDF terms, T.
 We write S(v) for the substitution of variable."""
Proposed revision
"""**A** substitution is a relation from a subset of V, its
domain,to RDF-T.
We write dom(S) for the domain of a substitution.
 We write S(v) for the substitution of **a** variable."""
(The articles definitey need to get in there.)
(If the editors want to keep "the set of variables V" etc. for clarity,
that's fine. But it definitely should be either T or RDF-T everywhere.)
(I have a worry about the S(v) notation, but will take it up below.)
"""Definition: Restriction
 If X is a subset of dom(S) and dom(S')=X and S'(v) = S(v) for all v in
X then S' is the restriction of S to X, written S|X."""
First, where are restrictions used? I see the word used in constraints
but it doesn't seem to be doing the same thing (i.e., there it is a
restriction on the *ranges*, not of the domain of a substitution).
Second, the definitoin and notation are confusing. Esp. if unused :)
Here's a revision:
"The substitution R is a restriction of S if dom(R) is a subset of
dom(S) and for all v in dom(R), R(v) = S(v). R is known as the
restriction of S to dom(R), and written rest(S, dom(R))."
Ok, the recursion on dom(R) is a bit ugly, but I'm unclear why we need
the restriction of Foo *to* Bar in the first place.
Definition: Pattern Instance
 If S is a substitution then the result of replacing any v in a basic
pattern P by S(v) is a pattern instance of P, written S(P)."""
So, pattern instances don't have to replace all their query variables?
In other words, not all pattern instances are rdf graphs, but some are
themselves patterns?
Where are pattern instances used?
BTW, I find having S(v) and S(P) mean different things *frightfully*
confusing. Also, S(P) isn't even a function according to the above
definition, since, given that S is
 ?x = ex:foo
 ?y = ex:bar
and a basic pattern
 (?x ex:baz?y)
S(P) can be (ex:foo ex:baz?y) and (?x ex:baz ex:bar) and (ex:foo
ex:baz ex:bar). Is that 'any' up there supposed to be an 'every'? (Or
read with the force of an 'every', as in 'any variable in P is replaced
by S(that variable)'?
I asked someone else how they read it and they read it the same as me.
(Note, I may have biased the reading.)
"""Definition: Pattern Solution
 A Pattern Solution of Graph Pattern GP on graph G is any substitution
S such that S(GP) is a subgraph of G."""
Undefined (and unlinked), Graph Pattern, graph, and subgraph. Note that
the last two are defined:
and are the same *assuming* that S(P) goes to graphs, not basic
patterns. Which I guess it must or this all makes no sense :)
I'm very unclear how bnodes play out. It seems to me that any query
with a blank node cannot have a match. On the one hand:
"Blank Nodes and Queries
A blank node can appear in a SPARQL query patterns. It behaves as a
variable, although it can not be named in the query result form, such
But it can never appear in a substition (given the definition of
substitution and the disjointness of V from RDF-T). I presume that
bnodes in query patterns are distinct from bnodes in the queried graph,
regardless of their lexical form, thus any Graph Pattern (GP) with
bnodes will lack any pattern solutions, since every S(GP) will fail to
be a subgraph of any other graph (at least, given the RDF Semantics and
the obvious meaning of subgraph). One could get around this by saying:
"""A Pattern Solution of Graph Pattern GP on graph G is any
substitution S such that S(GP) is simply entailed by G."""
Or if one is adverse to simple entailment, one could say:
substitution S such that there is a subgraph of G which is an
RDF-semantics-instance-of S(GP)."""
One could also expand the definition of Substitution, or of variables.
We've already liberalized the subject position, why not liberalize the
predicate position as well?
(Ok, I actually don't really want predicate variables to be bnodes
because I want to generate a OWL Direct model theoretic compatible
semantics, in which predicate variables are, in fact, metalinguistic.
But it is a solution. I don't think it'd be hard to extend the RDF
model theory to handle this extension.)
