How do we calculate the effective mass of an electron in an Aluminium lattice? Is there any simple analytical way to work it out?

I think the answer is "no", almost without qualification... – genneth Mar 17 '11 at 23:18
_USER_ please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the inverse effective mass given by an expression of the form $m^{-1} = \partial^2 E(k)/\partial k_a \partial k_b $, where $E(k)$ is the dispersion relation, $k_a, k_b$ are directions in momentum space, and for simplicity we assume that $m^{-1}_{ab} := m^{-1}$? So given the energy spectrum of Aluminum one can calculate the effective mass for any excitation of momentum $k$ in its brillouin zone? – user346 Mar 18 '11 at 0:33
The last sentence is meant as a statement, not a question. – user346 Mar 18 '11 at 1:05
That gives the band mass, but actual electron masses (the things one measures via heat capacity, for example) also get renormalisations from the Coulomb interaction. The 2nd bit is where the calculation breaks down. However, I don't remember which dominates in Aluminium --- it's a bit of an odd material electronically speaking. In any case, even a band-structure calculation is not "simple analytic" --- I have a whole group of people around me who spend their lives working out better/faster ways to do it with massive supercomputers :-) – genneth Mar 18 '11 at 11:49
1 Answer 1
The effective mass can be determined from a exactly known band structure. As genneth already mentioned there is no simple analytical way to get a from first principles to the Aluminium band structure.
In practice there are a number of very successful numerical approaches to calculate band structures, e.g. Hartree-Fock, LDA+U, DMFT, Tight binding and the list goes on depending on the exact material and properties you are interested in.
If you use a number of material parameters as the electron density, Fermi energy or others you can express the effective mass in those terms but that is more a reformulation than a way to calculate it.

5 Steps to Buying a Ram Pump
(Already know the size you need? Click Here)
1. Determine your Water Flow Rate.
The ram pump needs flowing water to operate. The amount of water that you have available in the creek determines the size ram pump that you can use.
Here are the flow rate specs for each size ram pump available on Land To House
1/2″ Ram Pump 2gpm(7.6Lpm)
3/4″ Ram Pump 4gpm(15Lpm)
1″ Ram Pump 6gpm(22.7Lpm)
1-1/4″ Ram Pump 8gpm(30.3Lpm)
The water that each pump size needs is consistent for operation regardless of delivery flow.
How to measure flow rate? Use a 5 gallon bucket to catch the water. Time how long it takes in seconds. Divide 300 by seconds and you will have the Gallons per Minute.
Flow rate test
2. Determine your Head Pressure (water drop from source to pump)
The Ram Pump needs falling water to utilize the water hammer effect (ram). This is called Head Pressure. The pump works on a 1:7 ratio input head pressure to lift. For example if you have 10 feet of head pressure the pump will lift 70 feet vertical.
There are a few ways that you can determine the head pressure.
a. Take a garden hose and lay it in the creek. Let water run into the upper end. Lift the lower end up until the water stops flowing. Measure the distance from the surface of the water to the hose end. This is the head pressure available to the pump.
b. Place a garden hose in the creek and use a gauge that reads psi (pounds per square inch). Convert the psi to feet by using: psi/.433=feet of head.
c. Use a site such as Google Earth to find the elevation of the upper and lower parts of the creek and subtract the lower number from the higher number to find the head pressure.
head pressure
3. Determine the Lift height from the pump to where you need water
The main limiting factor of the ram pump is the lift height of the water. The horizontal distance that water is pumped is not an issue.
There are a few ways to determine the lift height.
a. The easy way is to use a site like Google Earth to get a general idea of the lift height. Take the elevation of the highest point you need water and the elevation of the pump location. Subtract the lower elevation from the higher elevation and you will have the lift height.
b. Use a clinometer. This tool finds angles of the incline and will let you use trig to find the height of lift.
c. Fill a garden hose or pipe with water and use a psi gauge to find the height. psi/.433=feet of head.
Elevation finder
4. Determine how much water you need in a day.
The amount of water that you need in a day is based on your own application. That being said here is what each ram pump size can supply in a day:
(Max output based on ideal setup)
1/2″ pump : 360 Gallons per day. (1211 liter per day)
3/4″ pump : 720 Gallons per day. (2725 Liter per day)
1″ pump : 1080 Gallons per day. (4088 Liter per day)
1-1/4″ pump : 1440 Gallons per day. (5451 Liter per day)
Keep in mind that these numbers are based on ideal input head pressure and lift height. If you have less head pressure or you are lifting higher your flow will be less.
5. Select the ram pump size below that fits your needs. If you still have questions please check out the Frequently Asked Questions.
To learn more about selecting the right pump, watch this video:
What else do you need to get the ram pump running?
-You will need a Drive Pipe to get water to the pump. This can be PVC or Poly Pipe. Be sure to match the pump size and the Drive pipe.
-You need a Delivery Pipe to take water up hill from the pump. This can be any size you like. Garden Hose, PVC Pipe, and Poly Pipe are all good options.
-Depending on the pipes you select you will need fittings to connect to the pump.
 - For PVC you will need adaptors from thread to socket. Then you will need couplings to connect sections of pipe.
 - For Poly Pipe you will need barb fittings that go from thread to barb. Then you will need barb to barb connectors to join sections of pipe. Hose clamps are often needed to keep the poly on the barb.

Bugs and Limitations
Directory timestamps aren't preserved
Rclone doesn't currently preserve the timestamps of directories. This is because rclone only really considers objects when syncing.
Rclone struggles with millions of files in a directory/bucket
Currently rclone loads each directory/bucket entirely into memory before using it. Since each rclone object takes 0.5k-1k of memory this can take a very long time and use a large amount of memory.
Millions of files in a directory tends to occur on bucket-based remotes (e.g. S3 buckets) since those remotes do not segregate subdirectories within the bucket.
Bucket based remotes and folders
Bucket based remotes (e.g. S3/GCS/Swift/B2) do not have a concept of directories. Rclone therefore cannot create directories in them which means that empty directories on a bucket based remote will tend to disappear.
Some software creates empty keys ending in / as directory markers. Rclone doesn't do this as it potentially creates more objects and costs more. This ability may be added in the future (probably via a flag/option).
Bugs are stored in rclone's GitHub project:

Here you can find ml to grams buttermilk.
No matter if you have been looking for ml in grams buttermilk or ml in g buttermilk, this is the right page for you.
The result of the conversion depends on the exact kind of buttermilk under consideration.
The answer to the question x ml buttermilk is how many grams also varies with the pressure and the temperature.
Read on below to understand everything about milliliters of buttermilk to grams.
Convert mL to Grams Buttermilk
To convert ml to grams buttermilk, besides the volume we have to know the buttermilk's density ρ in g/cm3 or in any other unit.
Here we assume the density to be 1.04 g/cm3, which is the average value for buttermilk.
So, the conversion ml to grams buttermilk is:
- 1 milliliter to grams buttermilk = 1.04 g
- 2 milliliters to grams buttermilk = 2.08 g
- 3 milliliters to grams buttermilk = 3.12 g
- 10 ml to gram buttermilk = 10.4 g
- 50 ml to gram buttermilk = 52 g
- 100 ml to grams buttermilk = 104 g
- 200 ml to grams buttermilk = 208 g
But what about other quantities of buttermilk?
A few lines further up you can calculate the mass equivalent of ml of buttermilk for any volume by using our converter which changes ml to g for buttermilk with a ρ of 1.04 g/ml.
If you have buttermilk with a different density, then simply change the value for ρ accordingly.
Buttermilk mL to Grams
As said before, here we have calculated ml in grams buttermilk using the average density of 1.04 g/cm3 which is equal to 1.04 g/ml.
Make sure to understand that the values above are averages for buttermilk.
If you think our approximation is not precise enough, try to figure out the density of your buttermilk using a search engine if you can't find the information on the packaging.
Depending on the quality or the kind of your buttermilk, as well as other factors explained on our homepage, there can be more or less grams in ml buttermilk.
We have explained all this in detail in our article ml to grams, where you can also find additional information related to milliliter to gram buttermilk such as mass, volume, liter and kilogram.
Besides buttermilk ml to grams, similar conversions on this website include:
This concludes our conversion ml to grams buttermilk.
We hope you like our article and hit the sharing buttons for buttermilk ml to g.
All questions and comments are really appreciated.

Georgiana Cavendish – Duchess of Devonshire
Below is the detailed biography of Georgiana Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire in the Regency Era. She was a known style icon, political organizer and author. She was born into the Spencer family of English nobility. She was the most talked about Duchess of England with regards to her many love affairs and gambling habits.
Early Life of Georgiana Cavendish
A portrait of Georgiana Cavendish – Duchess of Devonshire
Georgiana Spencer, as was her birth name was born on the 7th of June in the year 1757 to John Spencer, a British peer, and politician and his wife Georgiana who later came to be known as Countess Georgiana. She was born in Althorp, Northamptonshire. Georgiana had two younger sisters. The family lived in St James, London.
Georgiana was the closest and dearest to her mother as compared to the other two children. In 1765, her father became Earl Spencer.
Adult Life and Marriage of Georgiana Cavendish
A portrait of William Cavendish – 5th Duke of Devonshire
Georgiana was only 17 years old when she married the most eligible bachelor of the Regency Era – William Cavendish who was 25 years old. He was a British nobleman, a politician, an aristocrat. He was also one of the most powerful men in England along with being wealthy which made them a good match.
However, these two had very little in common and were hardly ever seen together on social occasions. He was known to have various affairs outside the marriage and was unable to have Georgiana produce a child. The Duke had a former illegitimate daughter before his marriage. He also had a former partner Lady Elizabeth Foster who later became a close friend of Georgiana Cavendish.
A portrait of Lady Elizabeth Foster
Even after the Duke and Lady Foster had separated, they were known to have shared certain sexual relations. Later, they had two illegitimate children.
Duchess Cavendish was absolutely unhappy with this marriage. According to the customs in Regency England, a woman could not take a lover until she had produced an heir. She had two daughters – Georgiana Dorothy and Harriet Elizabeth. In 1790, she gave birth to a baby boy – William George Spencer Cavendish who grew up to be a bachelor duke all his life.
Georgiana Cavendish and Charles Grey
A portrait of Charles Grey, also known as the 2nd Earl Grey
It is believed that Duchess Cavendish, after the birth of her son was involved in a love affair with Charles Grey. Charles Grey, who was later known as the 2nd Earl Grey. He was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1830 to 1834. He was a noble and famous man in London. While there is no concrete evidence that Earl Grey and Duchess Cavendish were involved in a 'love affair', she became pregnant by him in 1791.
She was sent off to France for her childbirth. Her health was extremely poor and everyone believed that she would die during childbirth. However, the child was well born and was called Eliza Courtney and she belonged to the Grey family.
While in France, she lived in complete isolation and was usually depressed as she was separated from her other children and family members. In the end, she denied her love for Charles Grey and went back to England to her husband and children.
Georgiana Cavendish as an Activist
Georgiana's family was a supporter of the Whig party. She lived during times when there was a realization of woman suffrage and empowerment. She was an influential woman and the first woman to come out as a political activist in her time.
She inspired women to promote the Whig party.
Georgiana Cavendish in Literature
She was a writer and poet during her time. Some of her works were published anonymously. Her very first published writing was 'Emma; Or, The Unfortunate Attachment: A Sentimental Novel' which came out in 1773. In 1778, she published 'The Sylph' anonymously. In the last years of her life, she published 'The Passage of the Mountain of Saint Gothard'.
Georgiana Cavendish in Gambling
After returning to England from France, she was much involved in taking care of her husband who suffered from gout. In 1796, she suffered from illness in her eyes, the operation of which resulted in her scarring face. Rapidly, her health began to decline and debt began to increase.
During her decline in health, she became addicted to gambling. She was in her forties back then. It is also said that once she begged her mother for 100 pounds and told her that she was suffering from jaundice.
Later, it was found out that she was genuinely sick and suffering from a liver disorder.
Later Life and Death of Georgiana Cavendish
She spent her last years in sickness. She died at a young age of 48 on March 30th, 1806. She was surrounded by her children, her mother, and her husband. She was buried at the family vault in All Saints Parish Church.
Her life was an example of the life of a noblewoman of England, a roller coaster of emotions and outburst and a result of various decisions.
There were many film portrayals on her life like the 'The Divine Lady' in 1929 and 'Berkeley Square' in 1933.

We present an optical method for nondirectional edge extraction/enhancement in color images. The method is based on the capability of twisted-nematic LCDs to traduce the image information in changes of the state of polarization of light, which allows us to generate simultaneously two replicas of the digital image displayed on the LCD: a true-color ("positive") image and a complementary-color ("negative") one. In our setup the imaging system consists of a lens plus a pupil mask formed with concentric apertures and orthogonal polarizers. This layout allows us to simultaneously image a well-focused positive replica (due to the circular aperture) superimposed to a slightly defocused negative one (due to the annular aperture). It is not difficult to demonstrate that this generates a nondirectional (Laplacian) edge enhancement. Unlike Fourier, our proposal works with incoherent illumination and does not require precise alignment, and thus, it could be a useful tool for edge extraction/enhancement in large images in real-time applications. Validation experiments are presented.

What is SpellDial?
 SpellDial is a technology that allows you to dial names instead of numbers. This is applicable only for those who have setup a spelldial account. Once you have checked the availability of your username you can register it to point to a specific number. So instead of dialing a number, you dial their username.
 For example, if Jonina's username is joninahottie and it points to (_PHONE_, simply spell out her username (joninahottie) and it will immediately connect you to her. So anyone who dials joninahottie will be dialing (_PHONE_.
 The great thing about SpellDial is if you have a change of number, all you have to do is change the number your username points to. This saves you from all the hassle of contacting your friends and telling them you have a new number.
Can I do this in my phone?
 If you own an iPhone or an Android, yes! Just download the SpellDial app, and you can start calling each other through your spelldial usernames, a.k.a. "spelldialing!"
I don't know anyone who has a spelldial. How can I use this?
 The best thing to do is to tell your friends about SpellDial so that they can create their own. Then you can easily call each other using SpellDial names.
I don't own an iPhone or an Android, can I use it on my phone?
 Currently, you cannot call others through their spelldial name if you're not using an iPhone or an Android. However, you can setup a spelldial account and people who use an iPhone or Android can contact you via your spelldial name. You can setup your account here.
The SpellDial app doesn't work when my phone is not connected to the internet. Why?
 SpellDial servers can only be accessed through the internet. Therefore, if the SpellDial app is not connected to the internet, then it cannot get the equivalent number of the spelldial you entered.
 We understand that only some parts of the world have constant internet access virtually everywhere. So we're also working to develop technology that will allow you to use SpellDial from an ordinary GSM mobile phone or even a PSTN landline. Although we don't know how long it would take, it could come sooner than you expect. So make sure that you get the SpellDial name that you want before someone else takes it.
When can I use SpellDial on my non-internet mobile phone or landline?
 Before you can use it on your non-internet mobile phone or landline, phone manufacturers and telephone networks need to add some equipment and configurations to their systems in order to provide SpellDial services. Realistically speaking, the more people who join SpellDial, the faster the companies will upgrade. Because the more people join SpellDial, the greater the demand will be on them to enable SpellDial on non-internet phones.
 So if you want to help to make this happen sooner, you can help by joining and telling more people about it. Be a part of this. Let's make this happen!
I'm a developer. Do you have an API?
 Yes, we do! You can read more about it here.


Important: Please read the Qt Code of Conduct -
Get signal on activate a certain cell in a tableview
 - Is there a way to get a signal when a certain cell (or column) in a qtableview loses the focus or get activated (a QAbstractItemView witch is inherid by a qtableview holds the signal "activated").
 Is it possible with a connect statement similar to this:
 connect(ui->myTableview->"here I don't know how to point to cell 0, 1",SIGNAL(activated), this, SLOT(myFunction))
 If it is possible like in the connect statement above, how do I write the sender (e.g. cell 0,1 in the tableview) correct
 Or is there an other way??
 Thank you in advance!

 What about using
 You get new QModelIndex which has
 So when u get this signal, u can check if the "watched" col and do your thing.
 You also get last QModelIndex, so you can check if a cell is "left" that way.

The Jackson deserialize and cast to Integer all numbers if value in range of Integers instead it cast to Long. I would like to cast ALL values to Long. Is it exist easy solution of issue?
share|improve this question
possible duplicate of Forcing Jackson to deserialize to specific primitive type – Fabian Lange Jul 22 at 19:35
1 Answer 1
Jackson deserializes to type you tell it to, so if you declare property to be of type long or Long it would construct it as long. But maybe you are binding to "untyped" structure like Map? If all values are of type Long, you could just declare type appropriately, like:
Map map = objectMapper.readValue(json, new TypeReference>() { });
Alternatively might be able to add custom Deserializer for Object.class with different handling (default deserializer is org.codehaus.jackson.map.deser.UntypedObjectDeserializer).
It might help if I knew what you are actually trying to do -- Integer and Long are both numbers, so often distinction does not matter a lot... so what is the reason to require Longs?
share|improve this answer
The deserialized numbers are IDs of objects that I would like to retrieved through the Hibernate. When I use Integer it throw an exception that it can convert from integer to long. – eugenn Jun 30 '10 at 13:14
Then the easiest way might be to explicitly just convert these, something like 'Long id = numberValue.longValue();'. Unless if map only has numeric values, in which you can declare types as Map (as I mentioned above) – StaxMan Jul 1 '10 at 7:06
_USER_ explicit conversion will become redundant when the IDs become long so wouldn't some form of type casting (e.g. JsonTypeInfo) be preferable? – ajostergaard Aug 24 '13 at 7:02
Jackson does type co(nv)ercions where necessary. So if POJO indicated that long or Long are needed, that's what you'd get. The original post is vague enough that I don't really know enough to know what the right answer is. But polymorphic type inclusion does not seem to be part of the picture. – StaxMan Aug 27 '13 at 17:43

BeritaBali.com reports that Bali's Environmental Protection Agency (BLH) has recorded salt water intrusion into the ground water supply at distances between 39 and 330 meters from the shore line. The BLH is blaming this development on the high usage of ground water, particularly by the hotel sector.
The worst affected areas are in Sanur, Kuta, Candi Dasa and Nusa Dua. Meanwhile, the use of ground water in Denpasar is now approaching 3 million cubic meters per month.
The head of the technical laboratory division of BLH, Gede Surjana, said he is concerned by the degree of salt water intrusion into Bali's water supply and the level of salinity measured in ground water samples. He further warned that if something is not done soon to limit the over-use of ground water, Bali will face a clean water crisis by 2020.
He estimates the maximum permissible use of ground water for all of Bali stands as 300 million cubic meters per year.

 bill payments 5 Figure 3 Pattern of late residential bill payments 6 1. Background to the Problem The timing of payments on loans or amounts due are key to the cash flow of a company to whom the money is loaned. It is known that as loans become later it the payment may become increasingly difficult to collect and the potential for a default increases (Greenberg, 1997). For companies wishing to avoid taking on collections of more risky debts and for those who already have them, the ability to understand patterns of payments and the ability to predict the way in which these patterns will move will enable better decisions making to take place and increased the effectiveness of any risk assessments that take place (Howells and Bain, 2004). 2. Aims of Research The aim of the research is to look at the different patterns seen with overdue bill payments. The paper will seek to answer the following questions in order to increase the understanding with which late bill payment collections can be managed more efficiently and bill collections company can use to determine which risks they can afford to take on (Blazenko and Vandezande, 2003). The specific questions will include; * Is there any correlation between the amount and lateness of a bill? * Is there any difference between the residential ands the commercial bill payment patterns? * If there is a correlation for either the residential or the commercial costumers, to what extent does the correlation hold. The hypothesis is that First Hypothesis H1 There will be different patterns in payments seen with commercial bills being more likely to be paid later than the residential bills.

Why Do Piano Keys Stick?
There are 1000 different reasons why piano keys stick but most commonly is a change in humidity or temperature. As you change the environment around the piano it will have to acclimate which can effect the keys.
Typically when you start running your A/C or Heat for the season or after you move a piano, the keys can stick for a short time. If your keys are sticking longer then a week, there's a different problem that needs to be addressed.

Here are the key guidelines that passengers should be aware of, including the timeframes within which the Icelandair name changes on tickets can be requested –
- When booking a flight with Icelandair, it is crucial to ensure that the passenger's name on the ticket must be identical to the name on the passport or government-issued photo ID.
- Altering both the first and last names is not permitted unless there are legal considerations.
- passengers cannot transfer their Icelandair flight booking to another person.
- As per icelandair name change correction policy, the following types of scenarios are not eligible for the name correction –
- Reservations that include codeshare agreement flight
- Group reservation that includes 10 or more passengers traveling on the same itinerary.
- Request which is made within 4 hours of scheduled departure.
- In the event that passengers need to transfer ownership of a ticket to another person, they must cancel the existing booking, request a refund, and then rebook the flight under the new passenger's name. For further details on cancellations, it is advised to refer to Icelandair flight cancellation policy.
What types of Name Correction Can Passenger Request With IcelandAir?
Passengers traveling with Icelandair are allowed to request specific types of name corrections.
- Misspelled name – Passengers can request Icelandair name correction up to 3 characters. This allows them to rectify any misspelled characters and ensure that their name matches their passport or government-issued photo ID accurately.
- Fix Abbreviation – If a passenger's name was abbreviated during the booking process, they can request to expand the abbreviation to its full form. For example, if the name "V. Smith" was entered, the passenger can request to change it to "Vincent Smith."
- Inverted name – In some cases, the order of a passenger's first and last name may have been entered incorrectly. They can request a correction to swap the positions of their first and last name.

How a sensory garden can improve your wellbeing
Thursday, 18th June 2020, 9:00 am
Updated Thursday, 18th June 2020, 9:01 am
Sensory gardens are great for helping to reduce anxiety and stress, providing a natural retreat to relax in and offering us a place that encourages wellbeing and mindfulness, writes Sara Milne.
A sensory garden is really just a collection of plants and materials with different textures, shapes, colours, scents and heights that are laid out in such a way to stimulate our senses through smell, sound, touch, taste and sight.
Adding visual interest to a garden can be easily achieved by being clever and selective with your planting.
Use flowering perennials, layer plants at different heights, use screens or hedges to form backdrops and plant rows of the same species to elongate areas.
You can also make sure your planting has the desired effect by using colour to provide focal points and ambience.
For stimulating, invigorating areas use hot, vibrant colours - reds, pinks and yellows.
Think sunflower, echinacea, marigold, salvia, dahlia even ornamental vegetables such as swiss chard with its multi-coloured stems and leaves.
For a more gentle, calm effect use cool, relaxing colours such as whites, blues and greens.
Lavender, foxglove, hydrangea, delphinium and climbers that also provide height such as jasmine and honeysuckle.
Plants and trees that change colour through the seasons also provide interest with blossoms and berries and leaves that turn to shades of gold, red and brown in the autumn.
Changes in colour and appearance of materials like paved and pebble pathways when they get wet also add colour and visual appeal.
Shapes are also important in a sensory garden, so try using materials like crazy paving and rough-cut flagstones.
You can also create interesting routes and pathways through the garden to promote a sense of discovery and orientation.
Movement catches the eye, so think about trees that wave in the wind such as willow or grasses that sway in the breeze.
Water features provide wonderful focal points and also attract wildlife.
Make sure you have a variety of plants that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies as well, lovely to watch of a summer's afternoon.
Our general wellbeing is intrinsically linked to the natural world which is why Thrive - the gardening for health charity - has developed the Thrive Gardening Club.

variancep — aggregate function to return the population variance of a range of values.
This function computes a value for each record returned by the query predicate, or from the specified column of a base table, and returns the population variance of those values.
This variancep() function is similar to the variance() function, but is calculated using the biased (or n) method. The variancep() function is usually used when the incoming data represents the entire population of data. Use variance() instead when the incoming data represents a random sample.
expr must include the name of a
column in a LiveView table, where that column's data type is int, long, or double.
The returned value is of type double.
This example shows how to use dynamic aggregation to find the population variance of the values in a column. In the Hello LiveView sample, create a query that finds the population variance of the quantityRemaining field from the ItemSales table, grouping by Item. Follow these steps:
In LiveView Desktop connected to a server running the Hello LiveView sample, select the ItemsSales table from the Tables pane of the LiveView Tables view.
In the Select field, enter:
category, variancep(quantityRemaining) AS popvarQuantity
In the Query field, enter the following:
group by category
The query results open in a grid view. LiveView Server recalculates the population variance value whenever the rows returned by the query predicate change.
This LiveView aggregate function is based on the variancep aggregate function in the StreamBase expression language.

Lift-off of methane jet flames in O2/CO2 atmospheres
MetadataShow full item record
Turbulent jet diffusion flames and flame lift-off have been the topic of a great deal of research due to its complexity in combining both turbulent flow and combustion. The mechanisms controlling flame lift-off however, are not yet properly understood and is still an active field of research. In this report, experimental studies of lift-off characteristics for oxy-fuel combustion with methane have been conducted for oxygen concentrations ranging from 34% to 50%. Three different fuel nozzles were used, with diameters of of 2mm, 4mm and 5mm. In addition to oxy-fuel combustion, experiments were carried out in air, and oxygen enriched air, as a reference case.The goal has been to observe how oxy-fuel flames differ from regular diffusion flames burning in air with regards to lift-off. Lift-off heights and velocities were found to be strongly dependent on oxygen concentration, with increasing concentration causing shorter lift-off heights and higher lift-off velocities. It was also discovered that the combustion chamber wall temperature seemed to have a great impact on flame stability. Higher wall temperatures had a stabilizing effect on the flame, probably due to lower heat loss and higher burning velocities.Results from the air cases were compared to data from other studies, and were found to deviate some, most likely due to the presence of co-flow.

The smell of homemade bread doesn't just make us crave fresh-from-the-oven carbs, it also makes us kinder to strangers — or so a new study claims.
A small team of researchers from France's University of Southern Brittany sent four volunteers to stand outside a clothing store. They sent another four volunteers to stand outside a bakery. As shoppers passed by, the volunteers "accidentally" dropped small personal items, like gloves and handkerchiefs, the NY Daily News reports.
The researchers found that 77 per cent of the shoppers who walked by the volunteers outside the bakery stopped to pick up the dropped items, while only 52 per cent of shoppers stopped outside the clothing store.
The experiment was repeated 400 times, each time leading the researchers to conclude that pleasant smells "trigger a positive mood that leads to a greater degree of altruism, or unconditional concern for the welfare of others," the Daily Mail reports.
Of course, if you're on a diet that's severely limiting your carb intake, the smell of fresh bread might make you hostile rather than hospitable.
The study doesn't indicate if factors like time of day or weather were controlled for in the study.
Watch the video below reporting on the new bread study.

What is a Thermal Lance?
A Thermic Lance is a steel pipe packed with mixed metal wires.
Pure oxygen gas is passed through the pipe from an oxygen cylinder and regulator. The end of the pipe is lit with a high temperature source, e.g. an oxy-acetylene torch. The iron in the steel burns in the oxygen coming down the pipe to produce enormous heat and a liquid slag of iron oxides and other materials, which dribbles and splashes out, just like an enormous firework sparkler.
The temperature reached in the centre of the combustion zone is approx. 4000 degrees Celsius, greater than the melting point of any substance on earth. By the way of comparison, concrete melts at 1800 - 2500 degrees Celsius and steel at less than 1500 degrees Celsius. Also, because it runs on oxygen, the lance can cut underwater.

5 Ways to Ensure Millennial Would Want to Dine in Your Restaurant
Restaurants around the world are doing everything they can to stay in business and stay ahead of the trends. At this point, it is hard to deny that millennials are the generation who are leading the food trends, as they eat out more, spend more of their income on dining experiences, and have a lot of opinions. Therefore, it makes sense that restaurants would want to attract this generation as their clientele.
If you are looking to bring more millennial diners into your establishment, read on for the five ways you can ensure that millennials want to dine in your restaurant.
1. Prioritize local food, sustainable practices.
If there is one thing that you can be sure of, millennials like to eat food that is grown locally and sustainably. After all, millennials care significantly about being conscious of the world and their impact on it. More than any generation before them, millennials care about the environment, which extends to the food they consume. Therefore, if you want them to eat in your restaurant, you need to show that you also care about the ingredients in your dishes and your environmental impact.
One of the ways to demonstrate this to millennials is by showing the origin of items on the menu. For example, if you are serving a lunch dish with eggs and bread, you can state that the eggs are from a particular local farm, the bread was baked in a local patisserie, and the condiments were made in small batches by a local company.
While these options may be more expensive, millennials have shown that they are willing to pay more for the ingredients that fit their perspective and lifestyle.
2. Have a wide array of beverages on offer.
In addition to your food offerings, you also want to consider your beverage menu carefully. Similar to their feelings toward food, millennials want to know where their beverages are coming from, and they are willing to pay more for healthier drinks produced locally.
For this reason, it is highly recommended that you work with mineral water suppliers in Dubai (or wherever you are located) so that you can offer them high-quality sparkling and still natural mineral water, as well as carbonated sparkling fruit beverages.
Furthermore, specialty coffee drinks and teas are popular with millennials who like to try beverages from around the world. For example, Darjeeling tea from India, pu erh tea from China, Qishir-spiced coffee from Yemen, and Hong Kong-style milk tea all have many millennial fans. Additionally, cappuccinos from Italy, Matcha from Japan, and cortados from Spain are all popular caffeinated beverages.
Millennials also enjoy mocktails and other non-alcoholic drinks. Some of the most popular mocktails for millennials include Virgin Daiquiris, Virgin Mint Lemonade, Pomegranate Spritzer, and a non-alcoholic Mojito.
3. Allow them to share plates.
Another dining trend that millennials love is small, sharing plates. These diners like to mix, match, and share what they have ordered, so they tend to prefer menus with a variety of small plates rather than single entrée sizes.
Millennials tend to love this style of dining because they're able to taste multiple dishes which works for their adventurous spirit that craves variety. This means that you can create a menu that is filled with smaller, higher-margin dishes.
Similarly, millennials like to sit at communal tables. This comes from the fact that they view dining out as an integral part of their social life. For this reason, they tend to eat in larger groups, which allows them to meet new people. Therefore, they like to be able to move around the table during the meal and want to ensure that everyone who is dining can interact with each other.
4. Provide them with an experience.
Known as the "experience generation," millennials live up to this stereotype, especially when it comes to their dining habits. Therefore, if you want to attract them to your restaurant, you need to provide them with something unusual. Whether that is funky interior design, a thought-provoking menu, photo-worthy dishes, or something else entirely, to catch their attention, it needs to be experiential.
Providing an experience is also good for business, as millennials are willing to pay a lot more for dining 'experiences' rather than just getting a meal. Even opting to host a game night, a themed evening, or live entertainment can do a lot to attract the diners you crave.
5. Have a social media and web presence.
For the generation that grew up with the internet, it is second-nature for millennials to quickly check out a restaurant's website or social media page before deciding to dine there.
In some cases, they will want to check out the menu; in other cases, they will want to see photos of the dishes and the interiors. If you do not have a social media and web presence, they are quickly going to move on to choosing to dine somewhere else.
Restaurants that recognize the importance of their social media and web presence can utilize it to reach a wider audience. By curating an aesthetic that looks pleasing across all platforms, you are positioning yourself to be in a better place to attract millennial diners.
What's more, if millennials like a restaurant, then they want to follow it and support it on social media platforms. In fact, research shows that millennials are more likely to be loyal to a restaurant that engages with them on social media.
Having a presence on social media is also a valuable marketing tool, as you can get free marketing by having your millennial diners share their experiences with their followers. In other words, restaurants that are lacking a social media presence are missing out on meaningful opportunities to connect with new millennial diners.
Are you a restaurant owner? If so, what steps are you taking to ensure that you can attract millennials? On the other hand, if you are a millennial diner, what do you look for in eating establishments? Let us know your thoughts and any relevant insights in the comments below!

Riposte is a fighting command which can be used to rapidly counterstrike against an opponent following a successful parry, providing an almost free attack.
Riposte may be only be performed when armed, and when the player's tactics-response is set to either 'parry' or 'neutral'. Command help describes riposte as a thrust attack and it seems to only work with weapons that can either Stab or Pierce. You need sufficient Strength relative to the weight of the weapon (see Research:Riposte).
Riposting is a three-stage process:
 1. The player must pass a fighting.special.weapon skillcheck in order to prepare the command.
 2. They must then successfully parry an incoming attack against the opponent on whom they are executing the riposte.
 3. They then perform a normal skillcheck of their appropriate fighting.melee weapon skill for an extra attack.
Riposte gives the player a single extra attack that has a very low action point costresearch. Note that a riposte attack is essentially a normal attack - it doesn't do significantly more damage than normal, and it can be defended against just like any other attack.

City of Alexandria, VA
History of the Alexandria's Human Rights Code
On March 25, 1975, Alexandria City Council passed one of the first human rights ordinances in Virginia.
The Code, which became effective April 21, 1975, prohibited discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodation, credit, health and social services, education and city contracts on the basis of race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, ancestry, marital status, or physical handicap.
Throughout the years, a number of changes have expanded the reach of the Code. In 1988, the Code was amended to include sexual orientation as a protected class; in 1991, the Code was amended to include fair housing protection for families with children, and the protection for the "physically handicapped" was expanded to cover all disabilities. Last, amendments to the Code in 1996 prohibited discriminatory practices in commercial real estate.

Mesmerizing video of 'Waterfall Clouds' in Aizawl goes viral
A mesmerizing video of clouds flowing off a height like a waterfall in Aizawl is going viral.
The video was shared on Facebook by Aziz Barbhuiya, and has been viewed and shared thousands of times on social media.
The viral clip shows clouds descending from a higher level to a lower one, with many saying it looked like a fluffy waterfall.
Watch the video here:
Waterfall Clouds
The stunning visual comes from a phenomenon known as orographic clouds that are commonly known as "waterfall clouds". These clouds are generally associated with a moist airflow over mountainous areas.
It usually occurs when stable air encounters a mountain, and is lifted upward, cooling as it rises. Water vapour in the moist air could condense, making it visible as a cloud. So when orographic clouds flow down from the tops of mountains, it often looks like a waterfall.

Shou Sugi Ban (burnt cypress) is a traditional Japanese technique in which coniferous wood is charred on one side. Traditionally, this was done by binding three boards together to form a chimney and starting a fire at the bottom. The original reason for charring was, ironically, fire prevention. As Japanese houses were mostly made of wood, inhabitants of the villages and towns were very aware of fire risks. The scorching of the façades created a fire-retardant carbon layer. They also discovered that this layer offered good protection against vermin and fungus. The ancient art of Shou Sugi Ban is still being used on houses on the islands of Kanawa's prefecture. Shou Sugi Ban or Yakisugi ties in with the Japanese life philosophy of Wabi Sabi, and the pure vision of beauty.
Does the carbon layer always stay the same?
This depends on the type, but in principle the carbon layer of our burnt wood weathers under the influence of wind, rain and hail. The lifespan of the carbon layer depends on the orientation of the facade and the location of the building. The black carbon layer of our burnt wood ages over the years and then acquires a beautiful patina (weathering), such as a light sheen, or a craquelé surface, for example. The natural aging and weathering over time does not detract from the visual appeal, on the contrary, it contributes to it! This fits within the above-mentioned Japanese philosophy of life of Wabi Sabi. On the product data sheets of our products (downloadable on the product page), you can see how the wood ages.
For indoor use we always fix the charred wood. For the exterior we often advise not to fix the wood. This ensures that the charred wood retains a beautiful, natural shine and is also more durable than when the wood is fixed. In the course of time the release of the wood will decrease and for a number of variants this will eventually stop. Most burned types of wood, also for exterior use, can also be fixed if desired. We will be happy to advise you about this.
How do I maintain the wood?
Unfixed planks with a carbon layer do not require any maintenance.
Planks that have been burned and brushed have a stain or oil layer. This wood requires periodic maintenance every three to six years. If you do not maintain Shodoshima / Takamatsu / Sakaide exterior, the stain layer will eventually harden and flake. Below this, the white wood will emerge and 'age'.
The product specification sheet that you will find on each product page explains exactly if and what maintenance the different products need.

Meaning Of Positive Group Behaviour In Social Studies
This is a group behaviour that is acceptable by the society. It is behavioural outcome that is generally accepted and motivating to a greater number of the population. This behavioural outcome is in conformity with the rules and regulations that govern the society or country.
Positive group behaviour is productive, inspiring and affective because it comes from the correct thinking and feeling of the cream of the people in the society. Positive group behaviour is an antidote to many social ills ravaging the country today.
Constructive or positive group behaviours are those actions from groups of people who are bound together by some common interests or professions; who embark on activities to influence government policies to their own advantage and their society.
It may be in support or rejection of a particular policy or law that will be harmful or counter-productive to the society. These bodies exhibit constructive behaviours: the Nigerian Bar Association, Nigerian Union of Teachers, Nigeria Labour Congress, Academic Staff Union of Universities, Market Women Associations, etc. These are good examples of groups who mean well for the nation.
They hardly can engage in destructive actions likely to disrupt the smooth running of the government or society. Their actions are rational.
They return to reason whenever they see that their demand is not yielding positive effects.
Characteristics Of Positive Group Behaviour
1. They exist to promote the common good of the masses and not to take over the running of the government.
2. The source of their income remains levies, donations, and dues. They can get financial support from members of the society who appreciate their activities.
3. They are well-organized. Their leadership is carefully tested, selected and approved.
4. They accept membership only from those who possess the requisite criteria.
5. They have body of knowledgeable experts who can relate with people from all walks of life – religion, military, civilian, economy, traditional institutions, etc.
Ways Through Which Constructive Group Behaviours Can Be Carried Out In Society
This is the approach used by the organized bodies to explain in details, the merits and demerits of a particular issue which they project. Through lobbying, they persuade those that matter in the society to accept their proposals for their own good and that of the society.
2. Strikes, Lock-outs And Boycotts
Organized groups like NBA, TUC, NUT, ASUU, NLC, etc, use strikes, lockouts and boycotts to press home demands. In attempts to avoid the great damage that may result from long strikes, the governments or owners of an organization may agree to the terms of agitation.
3. Publicity Campaigns
Social groups such as CAN, NUT, ASUU, NLC, etc, organize extensive campaigns through meetings, rallies, house-to-house visits, posters, hand-bills stickers, conferences, flyers, etc, to reach the people and attract their support or sympathy in order to get their intentions achieved.
4. Use Of Mass Media
Positive groups use advertisements and sponsored programmes on the radio, television and newspapers to convince the entire public about their products, intentions, etc, and urge them to accept.
Positive groups write open petitions to the appropriate quarters or persons to inform them of what is wrong and suggest constructive remedies to them.
6. Peaceful Demonstrations
Positive groups use peaceful demonstrations to press-home their demands, rights, and other intentions. They can march out in the streets, carrying placards stating their demands, and calling for support from the public.
Benefits Of Positive Group Behaviours
There are so many benefits in positive group behaviours. They among others include:
This is the pleasant feeling that is shared in friendly relationship. Positive group behaviours encourage this in companionship. This pleasant feeling include love, or affection. The family, social clubs, sports competitions, etc, have much of these pleasant feelings.
Through companionship, good social behaviours are taught and learnt. Members learn social obligations, rights, laws, duties and other forms of acceptable conducts.
They also learn how to tolerate, how to resolve conflicts through counselling and reprimands.
2. Survival And Security
Several skills are provided by positive groups for the survival of their members and others. They encourage their members and others to acquire quality skills that can fetch them better incomes.
They provide first-hand information for further training through part-time studies, evening programmes, sandwich and seminars/workshops.
Organized groups like NUT, NUJ, NBA, NLC, etc, etc., intervene anytime their members are attacked by individuals, groups or government.
There is security in the employment offered to their members. They make them to know the rules and regulations, rights, and privileges that could engage them to secure their jobs. Job security promotes positive behaviour in human relationship.
3. Affiliation And Status
Positive behaviours from groups and organizations develop dignified connections. Attachment to civil society, religious organizations, political parties give organizational connections that are rewarding to the individual with them. Important status or positions also come from positive groups.
This is because social groups recruit members based on well-defined criteria. People who qualify to become members enjoy social status which has obligations and rewards.
Organized groups help to secure good positions for their members in politics, church at national and international levels.
4. There Are Power And Control From Positive Group Behaviour
Positive group behaviours have the ability of enforcing decisions and compelling obedience from other people.
Basically, the exercise of power is always seen in the hands of those endowed with the ability of handling the human and material resources to reward and punish the people as they deem fit.
5. Positive Group Behaviours Develop Achievable Goals In Their Members
As members struggle to attain these goals, they acquire strengths that spur them into more action and achievement. Successful completion of tasks or projects, is a plus in the individual and his society.


text: Implantation of Ta into single crystal Ni3Al was conducted to determine the degree of surface hardening in monolithic alloys in relation to its lattice location. Ta was implanted at 400 keV to doses of 0.07, 0.36, and 2.52 × 1016 cm−2 along the axis of a crystal of Ni3Al at room temperature. Composition versus depth profiles were determined by RBS, and lattice location of Ta was determined by channeling angular yield scans about the axis. The hardness of the surface was measured by ultra-low load indentation. Results show that implantation softens the surface and that the Ta is randomly distributed between Ni and Al sites. Annealing at 1000 °C/1 h significantly reduces the damage and causes preferential occupation of Al sites by Ta, resulting in a slight increase in surface hardness. Further annealing at 1200 °C/0.25 h increases the surface hardness substantially and increases occupation of Al lattice sites to roughly 84%. Results are consistent with a model in which the as-implanted surface is softened by disordering, and subsequent diffusion of Ta to Al sites during thermal treatment causes hardening of the surface.

I'll use an example from JavaScript to help clarify my question. Let's assume I have the following object:
sports = {
 soccer: {...},
 basketball: {...},
 baseball: {...}
If at some point in my script I have a variable, sportString, that simply holds a string, I can dynamically call one of the sports objects in the following way:
This frees me from having to use a bunch of nested if statements, testing the value of the string such as:
if(sportString ==='soccer'){
}else if(sportString === 'basketball){....
So, my question is how can I accomplish something similar to sports[sportString] in Objective-C, if sportString is an NSString object?

Use an NSDictionary as your sports object. Then you can do lookups like this:
[sports objectForKey: sportsString];

Thanks. Giving this one the answer since it's the first. – maxedison Jul 9 '11 at 11:47
The people saying you should use NSDictionary for general key/value storage are 100 % right. However, I think it's useful to know that you can call a message specified by a string:
SEL selector = NSSelectorFromString(@"foo"); // Or _USER_(foo) if you know it at compile time
id value = [object performSelector:selector];
You can also use selectors with up to two arguments, as long as they take objects:
SEL selector2 = NSSelectorFromString(@"setFoo:");
[object performSelector:selector2 withObject:value];
It's possible to invoke arbitrary methods using IMPs or casting objc_msgSend(), but now I'm getting way beyond the scope of your actual question. :-)

Thanks for posting this. Definitely useful to know about NSSelectorFromString and performSelector. I really appreciate it! – maxedison Jul 9 '11 at 16:23
Your JavaScript object sports would typically be an NSDictionary or NSMutableDictionary. Example:
NSMutableDictionary *sports = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[sports setObject:@"Foo" forKey:@"soccer"];
[sports setObject:@"Bar" forKey:@"basketball"];
NSString *sportString = @"soccer";
NSString *sportValue = [sports objectForKey:sportString];
NSLog(@"%@", sportValue); //logs "Foo"

HomeDefinitionsCareer DictionaryLoudermill Rights
Loudermill Rights
The term Loudermill Rights refers to those due process requirements that are followed when a tenured public employee is involuntarily terminated. Loudermill Rights are based on a U.S. Supreme Court decision: Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill (1985).
Tenured public employees were granted Loudermill Rights following a Supreme Court decision, which determined that most public employees have a property interest in their job. For this reason, they are afforded due process rights before removing or impacting their property interest in their job. This "property right" means non-probationary public employees can only be terminated for cause. They may also be entitled to certain rights in cases of severe discipline.
Generally, the following steps are followed when a tenured public employee is involuntarily terminated:
 1. Loudermill Letter: employees are entitled to proper notice, indicating why they are being fired as well as any specific evidence supporting the employer's decision to terminate the employee. The letter will also inform the employee of their right to a hearing.
 2. Pre-Termination Hearing: also referred to as a Loudermill Hearing, this is a relatively informal meeting that provides an opportunity to determine if there are reasonable grounds to terminate after the employee addresses the evidence of the case. Individuals attending this meeting typically include the employee, their direct supervisor, a member of the human resources department, and a union representative.
 3. Post-Termination Hearing: if the employee is subsequently terminated, they are entitled to a full evidentiary hearing. The purpose of this meeting is to verify the facts presented against the employee, and whether or not the involuntary termination is justified.
Note: If the employee does not attend the pre-termination hearing, the employer can still proceed with termination.

Experimental Study on Matching Characteristics of Wave and Flame in Detonation
A series of single-shot detonation experiments was performed to understand the matching characteristics of wave and flame in DDT for H2/air mixures in a 60mm square tube that was 2m in length. The ion-probes and pressure transducers were respectively utilized to get the signal of flame and wave, and high-speed digital imaging was used to track flame propagation of DDT area. The matching rule of shock-flame was achieved by analyzing the intensity、velocity and position characteristics of wave and flame in different time along the tube. The results indicate that intensity of wave and flame is positive feedback characteristic and the velocity of wave and flame is alternant change process. The speed amplitude of flame is rapid than that of wave in deflagration phase. This result in the overdrivern detonation wave form and flame is temporarily in front of flame when flame catch up wave. Shock is in front of flame in phase which the overdrivern detonation evolve into steady detonation wave.

Hush Puppies Recipe
A fish fry and barbecue staple, hush puppies are made from a six-ingredient batter, which is dropped by spoonfuls into hot oil to cook. You can make them yourself—we walk you through the steps.
History of Hush Puppies
So, how did hush puppies get their name? They were perhaps the original treat (aka bribe) for Fido. Legends tell how Southern fishermen and Civil War soldiers first made the golden nuggets from scraps just to toss to barking and begging dogs with the command to "Hush, puppy."
1. The Batter: Stire 10 times around the bowl—just until the dry and liquid ingredients are barely combined together. Overmixing causes a tough texture.
2. The Pot: Use a pot that is at least 6 inches deep and fits the largest element on your cooktop. Our Test Kitchen had excellent results frying this hush puppy recipe in both a 6-qt. Dutch oven and in a deep cast-iron skillet. We also tried an electric deep-fat fryer with a temperature control dial and found that the batter stuck to the basket, and the temperature did not get hot enough to properly fry the hush puppies. So stick with the old-fashioned pot-on-a-stove method.
3. The Oil: A clean ruler placed in the pot can help you determine the line for a 2- to 3-inch depth of oil. Don't skimp; the batter needs to submerge in the oil. For great results, the oil needs to maintain 375°. Too low and the hush puppies absorb oil; too high and the outside burns before the inside is done. Plan to adjust the temperature dial on your range slightly up or down throughout the frying to keep the temperature at 375°. A candy/deep-fat fry thermometer is a must.
4. The Drop: You can drop the hush puppy batter using two soup-size spoons sprayed with vegetable cooking spray or a 1 tablespoon-measure ice-cream scoop.
5. The Flip: Sometimes hush puppies will flip themselves over. Use a slotted spoon or frying utensil to turn the rest so they cook evenly.
6. The Finish: Hush puppies are usually done at the point you think they might need to cook longer—when the rough bumps or high spots are rich golden brown. Oil may be used for one more fry job if stored properly. After all the hush puppies are cooked, let the oil cool thoroughly. To remove cooked particles, strain the oil through a fine wire-mesh strained lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter. Use a funnel to pour the oil into an empty vegetable oil bottle or a disposable plastic container with a lid. Label, date, and store in the fridge; use within one month.

Have Vatican archaeologists found the remains of the Apostle Paul?
Pope Benedict announced on Sunday that fragments of bone dating to the first or second century have been discovered in a tomb in the Basilica of St. Paul in Rome.
Tradition holds that Paul was martyred in Rome around A.D. 65 and that his remains are located in the Basilica.
But there was no way of knowing until the discovery of a sarcophagus in 2006.
Archaelogists drilled a tiny hole in the stone coffin and found traces of purple linen cloth and fragments of bone, which have been dated to the time of Paul's life.
