Mobile IP (or IP mobility) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard communications protocol that is designed to allow mobile device users to move from one network to another while maintaining a permanent IP address. Mobile IP for IPv4 is described in IETF RFC 5944, and extensions are defined in IETF RFC 4721. Mobile IPv6, the IP mobility implementation for the next generation of the Internet Protocol, IPv6, is described in RFC 6275.
|Internet protocol suite|
The Mobile IP protocol allows location-independent routing of IP datagrams on the Internet. Each mobile node is identified by its home address disregarding its current location in the Internet. While away from its home network, a mobile node is associated with a care-of address which identifies its current location and its home address is associated with the local endpoint of a tunnel to its home agent. Mobile IP specifies how a mobile node registers with its home agent and how the home agent routes datagrams to the mobile node through the tunnel.
Mobile IP is most often found in wired and wireless environments where users need to carry their mobile devices across multiple LAN subnets. Examples of use are in roaming between overlapping wireless systems, e.g., IP over DVB, WLAN, WiMAX and BWA.
Mobile IP is not required within cellular systems such as 3G, to provide transparency when Internet users migrate between cellular towers, since these systems provide their own data link layer handover and roaming mechanisms. However, it is often used in 3G systems to allow seamless IP mobility between different packet data serving node (PDSN) domains.
Operational principles
A mobile node has two addresses - a permanent home address and a care-of address (CoA), which is associated with the network the mobile node is visiting. Two kinds of entities comprise a Mobile IP implementation:
- A home agent stores information about mobile nodes whose permanent home address is in the home agent's network.
- A foreign agent stores information about mobile nodes visiting its network. Foreign agents also advertise care-of addresses, which are used by Mobile IP. If there is no foreign agent in the host network, the mobile device has to take care of getting an address and advertising that address by its own means.
A node wanting to communicate with the mobile node uses the permanent home address of the mobile node as the destination address to send packets to. Because the home address logically belongs to the network associated with the home agent, normal IP routing mechanisms forward these packets to the home agent. Instead of forwarding these packets to a destination that is physically in the same network as the home agent, the home agent redirects these packets towards the remote address through an IP tunnel by encapsulating the datagram with a new IP header using the care of address of the mobile node.
When acting as transmitter, a mobile node sends packets directly to the other communicating node, without sending the packets through the home agent, using its permanent home address as the source address for the IP packets. This is known as triangular routing or "route optimization" (RO) mode. If needed, the foreign agent could employ reverse tunneling by tunneling the mobile node's packets to the home agent, which in turn forwards them to the communicating node. This is needed in networks whose gateway routers check that the source IP address of the mobile host belongs to their subnet or discard the packet otherwise. In Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), "reverse tunneling" is the default behaviour, with RO being an optional behaviour.
A performance evaluation of Mobile IPv6, carried out by NEC Europe, can be found at the ACM Digital Library, under the entry "A simulation study on the performance of mobile IPv6 in a WLAN-based cellular network", from the Elsevier Computer Networks Journal (CNJ), special issue on The New Internet Architecture, September 2002.
Additionally, a performance comparison between Mobile IPv6 and some of its proposed enhancements (Hierarchical Mobile IPv6, Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 and their Combination) is available under the entry "A performance comparison of Mobile IPv6, Hierarchical Mobile IPv6, fast handovers for Mobile IPv6 and their combination", from the ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R), Volume 7, Issue 4, October, 2003.
Enhancements to the Mobile IP technique, such as Mobile IPv6 and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) defined in RFC 5380, are being developed to improve mobile communications in certain circumstances by making the processes more secure and more efficient. HMIPv6 explanation can be found at Hierarchical-Mobile-IPv6.
Researchers create support for mobile networking without requiring any pre-deployed infrastructure as it currently is required by MIP. One such example is Interactive Protocol for Mobile Networking (IPMN) which promises supporting mobility on a regular IP network just from the network edges by intelligent signalling between IP at end-points and application layer module with improved quality of service.
Researchers are also working to create support for mobile networking between entire subnets with support from Mobile IPv6. One such example is Network Mobility (NEMO) Network Mobility Basic Support Protocol by the IETF Network Mobility Working Group which supports mobility for entire Mobile Networks that move and to attach to different points in the Internet. The protocol is an extension of Mobile IPv6 and allows session continuity for every node in the Mobile Network as the network moves.
Changes in IPv6 for Mobile IPv6
- A set of mobility options to include in mobility messages
- A new Home Address option for the Destination Options header
- A new Type 2 Routing header
- New Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6 (ICMPv6) messages to discover the set of home agents and to obtain the prefix of the home link
- Changes to router discovery messages and options and additional Neighbor Discovery options
- Foreign Agents are no longer needed
Definition of terms
- Home network
- The home network of a mobile device is the network within which the device receives its identifying IP address (home address).
- Home address
- The home address of a mobile device is the IP address assigned to the device within its home network.
- Foreign network
- A foreign network is the network in which a mobile node is operating when away from its home network.

Functional Improvisation, 2017
by Terry Day and Marcus Coates
Performance at William Morris Museum, London
Commissioned by Create, London
Audience members were invited to bring to the performance a question they have struggled to answer for themselves. Using improvised percussion by Terry Day and movement and vocalisation by Marcus Coates, they worked together to create a combined language that aimed to respond pragmatically to these questions. Their use of improvised performance as a socially functional tool is an attempt to employ their disciplines as complex and purposeful modes of expression. The forms of performance that they inhabit offers them a route to non-conscious understanding through physical activity and play, a method that expands the possibilities of creative thinking, bringing thought into the realm of movement and sound making. Their aim is to work for the audience, to create performances that are insightful, offering new reflections on the questions and possible answers.
Questions included:
Why is the world so angry?
What is good enough?
How do we find certainty, or do we?
Should art always be actively challenging?

Auto Accidents and Red Lights Can Cause Personal Injury
Cars running red lights or failing to halt at a stop sign are just a few of the leading causes of traffic accidents that occur every day. If you have been injured and are facing extensive medical bills and loss of income as a result of an auto accident that resulted from another driving running a red light, personal injury attorney Chris Olsen is trained to seek the maximum compensation you deserve. We routinely handle cases that involve auto accidents and red lights on a regular basis at Olsen Law Offices for clients in the San Diego, CA area.
Causes of Red Light Auto Accidents
Recent research has shown that drivers running red lights are responsible for two million auto accidents each year. Of those accidents, 700,000 injuries and 8,000 fatalities occurred. Although distracted driving plays a role in causing traffic accidents, the most common causes of red light auto accidents include:
- Drivers who are texting or talking on their cellphone
- Drivers who are intoxicated
- Drivers who are in a hurry, impatient, or recklessly driving
- Drivers who speed up at an intersection when the light changes yellow
- Drivers who tailgate
- Drivers who are distracted by any number of things (cellphone, children, GPS, eating, etc.) and fail to notice the light changing
- Environmental factors, such as blinding sun, rain, snow, or fog
Who Is Most Likely to Cause a Red Light Accident?
Although anyone is susceptible to causing a red light accident, research has shown that there are a variety of characteristics commonly seen in drivers who are prone to cause red light auto accidents, such as:
- Inexperienced or uneducated drivers
- Male drivers
- Young drivers
- Repeat offenders with prior speeding or DUI/DWI convictions
- Reckless or impatient drivers
- Unlicensed or uninsured drivers
What to Do after An Accident
The moment the accident occurs, it's important to dial 911 so the appropriate emergency services are available to help with your accident. Having an EMT and policeman available will allow the appropriate documentation to be made, as well as ensure medical attention is delivered.
Red light accidents can result in:
- Brain injuries
- Spinal cord damage
- Permanent nerve and muscle injury
- Broken bones
- Lost wages
- Inability to work
- Temporary or long-term disability
When any of the above occurs and the other driver is at fault, you are legally allowed to seek compensation. Although insurance companies often handle such cases, unfortunately, drivers do not always receive the coverage they deserve. Attorney Chris Olsen will open an investigation and meet with doctors, witnesses, and carefully review the police reports and pictures taken to ensure you receive maximum compensation for what you or your loved ones has lost, especially in accidents that resulted in fatalities.
Contact Us Today
If you have been injured as a result of a negligent driver or have a loved one who has been fatally injured, attorney Chris Olsen can seek adequate compensation for medical bills, personal injury, property damage, pain and suffering, and lost wages.

Coordination of Traffic Signals
The quality of flow along a street is a function of the following:
Spacing of intersections along the street
Prevailing speed of traffic on the street
Traffic signal cycle length
Operation of the traffic signal equipment
In order to coordinate arterial traffic signals, each traffic signal in the group needs to allow sufficient green time for all movements during a common fixed time period, called a common cycle length. The cycle length chosen is usually determined by the largest intersection in a group of signals with the most conflicting movements. This will most often be an intersection that has left-turn arrows for all directions and wide cross streets. For that reason, the common cycle length that is fixed for each traffic signal in a group may be rather long.
Furthermore, to allow the coordination of the arterial, the side street is required to wait until the main traffic movement on the arterial has gone through the intersection. It is possible that the arterial traffic cannot be seen immediately, but will soon be passing through the intersection. The major arterial streets coordinated in the City include:
 Alton Jamboree
 Bake Jeffrey
 Barranca MacArthur
 Campus Main
 Culver Michelson
 Harvard Red Hill
 Irvine Boulevard University Drive

Meet the new species of pit viper found in Arunachal Pradesh
Itanagar, May 10: India now has a fifth brown pit viper with a reddish tinge, a venomous snake with a unique heat-sensing system - from a forest in West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh.
The discovery, published in the March-April volume of the Russian Journal of Herpetology, makes the Arunachal pit viper (Trimeresurus arunachalensis) the second serpent to have been discovered after the non-venomous crying keelback in the State's Lepa-Rada district in 2018.
The new species also makes Arunachal Pradesh the only Indian state to have a pit viper named after it.
What does heat sensing ability means?
They have special pits located between their eyes and nostrils that can sense minute temperature changes as infrared rays, as an aid in locating warm-blooded prey such as rodents. Snakes use the radiation to generate 'thermal images' of predators or prey, but the underlying physiology has been unclear.
The more advanced infrared sense of pit vipers allows these animals to strike prey accurately even in the absence of light, and detect warm objects from several meters away.
It is found on the sensory nerve fibres that stimulate the snakes' pit organ, the highly specialised facial structure that initially detects radiant heat and consists of cavities located on each side of the head.
Also called 'heat vision', the infrared rays have longer wavelengths than those of visible light and signify the presence of warm-blooded prey in three dimensions which helps a snake aim its attack.
A pit has two chambers. The interior chamber is naturally the internal temperature of the snake itself. The exterior chamber heats up when it is close to a heat source.
The snake is then able to detect the temperature difference between the two chambers. This system is so accurate that pit vipers are actually able to detect temperature changes as little as 0.002 degrees centigrade.
Types of snakes with pits
As snakes evolved, they branched out into vipers and constrictors. The vipers further evolved to include pit vipers (part of the scientific sub-family in Viperidae called Crotalinae). Not all vipers have pits, and not all boa constrictors and pythons do either. Pit vipers are found worldwide and are all poisonous, just as all vipers are poisonous.
India had four brown pit vipers - Malabar, Horseshoe, Hump-nosed and Himalayan - before the Arunachal Pradesh discovery.
Other uses of the pits
Snakes also use pit organs to help them find cool places to regulate their internal temperatures. Snakes are reptiles and cold-blooded, which means they have to warm up in the sun. When they get too warm, they have to find a cooler area to use for bringing down their temperatures. The pits on their faces help them find these cool places. When the loreal pits are blocked or otherwise covered, the snake has trouble finding these places when needed, as if blind.

QUEEN'S PARK — Mike Schreiner made the following statement after the province announced a new math curriculum:
"As the Minister unveils a Back-to-Basics math curriculum in the middle of a pandemic, I think he needs to do a better job of telling time.
I'm hearing from so many teachers that this has been the most stressful period of their careers, trying to deliver lessons at a distance while preventing their students from falling behind.
They're also planning for multiple different classroom scenarios in the fall in the absence of clear direction from the Minister about what learning will look like.
There is already enough uncertainty and instability for students and educators without adding a new math curriculum to the equation.
The content of this new curriculum might be fine, but the Minister should have waited for a much better time to release it."

Cherokee Preservation Foundation's strategies have been shaped by the cultural values put down on paper by members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians before they began helping Cherokee Preservation Foundation plan the first of many culture-based initiatives. These tenets help explain how Cherokee have been a resilient people who have been able to surmount many crises and hardships. The Cherokee value:
- Spirituality, which creates a bond among Cherokee people in good times and bad, and is a source of hope.
- Group harmony in community and kin relationships, and freely sharing and giving time, talent and treasures.
- Strong individual character, with integrity, honesty, perseverance, courage, respect, trust, honor and humility.
- Strong connection with the land and commitment to stewardship of the homelands of the Cherokee.
- Honoring the past by knowing one's ancestors, identifying with and belonging to the tribe, and living and preserving Cherokee culture.
- Educating the children by providing values-oriented education and recreation, and by being strong role models for them.
- Possessing a sense of humor, which can lighten pressure in serious situations and help people make good decisions.

Many people invest a lot of money in order to go to college with the hope that they will eventually be rewarded with higher salaries. This paper attempts to determine what aspects of college are most important in determining the future income of students. In particular, this paper studies whether GPA is an important determinant of income as well as whether some majors are better investments than others after controlling for other factors. In addition, the effect of math and verbal ability on income and how they interact with different fields of study are studied. The data comes from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth database and ordinary least-squares regressions are used. The regressions show that grades, natural ability, and major all significantly affect income.

Role of Beacon frames in 802.11:
- The access points (APs) has to broadcast the beacon frames periodically over one of the 11 channels, according to the 802.11 standard.
- A beacon frame carries service set identifier (SSID) and medium access control (MAC) address of an AP.
- When a wireless station enters into a Wi-Fi jungle (which is formed by two or more APs), it scans 11 channels and seeks beacon frames from different APs.
- After knowing available APs through beacon frames, wireless station can associate with one of the available APs.
Therefore, the role of a beacon frame is to help a wireless station to discover and identify a nearby Access point (AP) to associate with it.

Insects: How scientists secretly trap flying bugs
Serious scientists use a organic Malaise trap. Rene Malaise invented it in 1934.
It is a "flight intercept" insect trap.
The trap is essentially a portable dining fly with open sides and screened front and back, a screen hanging in the center, and a peaked roof at one end. The bugs fly into the enclosure, hit the middle netting, and fly up to get out. As they follow the peak seam at the top, it leads to a collection device at the top.
The insect trap is checked about weekly and primarily collects flies and wasps, although many other insects find their way to the collection point as well.
The professional bug collectors use an agent in the collection device to stun or knock out the insects, then they fall into alcohol or onto a strip. This leaves the insects in a condition in which comparison of insect populations is easy.
For insects that fall when they hit the center wall, some naturalists put a collecting pan on the ground against the wall with a preservative to retain the insect.

About the e-Book
Block Trace Analysis and Storage System Optimization Pdf
In the new era of IoT, big data, and cloud systems, better performance and higher density of storage systems has become crucial. To increase data storage density, new techniques have evolved and hybrid and parallel access techniques?together with specially designed IO scheduling and data migration algorithms?are being deployed to develop high-performance data storage solutions. Among the various storage system performance analysis techniques, IO event trace analysis (block-level trace analysis particularly) is one of the most common approaches for system optimization and design. However, the task of completing a systematic survey is challenging and very few works on this topic exist.
Block Trace Analysis and Storage System Optimization brings together theoretical analysis (such as IO qualitative properties and quantitative metrics) and practical tools (such as trace parsing, analysis, and results reporting perspectives). The book provides content on block-level trace analysis techniques, and includes case studies to illustrate how these techniques and tools can be applied in real applications (such as SSHD, RAID, Hadoop, and Ceph systems).
What You'll Learn
- Understand the fundamental factors of data storage system performance
- Master an essential analytical skill using block trace via various applications
- Distinguish how the IO pattern differs in the block level from the file level
- Know how the sequential HDFS request becomes "fragmented" in final storage devices
- Perform trace analysis tasks with a tool based on the MATLAB and Python platforms

Many who need restorative rest most might not be able to get it. Why? They're in a hospital. Even at night, a hospital can be a noisy place. And research has shown that these noise levels have been rising for decades.
A new study finds that electronic noises in particular interfere with sleep.
Researchers followed the sleep patterns of a dozen healthy volunteers as they spent three nights sleeping in a lab. Their hours of darkness were punctuated with 14 different recorded hospital sounds played at varying volumes. Even when electronic sounds, such as alarm beeps, were played at the level of a whisper, volunteers slightly roused from sleep. The findings are in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. [Orfeu Buxton et al., "Sleep Disruption Due to Hospital Noises: A Prospective Evaluation"]
When the volunteers' sleep was disrupted, their heart rate increased. This frequently elevated heart rate could be especially bad for recovery. A little peace and quiet could make for a lot more restful nights.

How many words in a speech. How Many Words are in a Five 2022-11-09
How many words in a speech Rating:
The number of words in a speech can vary greatly depending on the purpose and length of the presentation. A short speech might be a few hundred words, while a longer keynote address could be several thousand words. Ultimately, the most important consideration is not the specific number of words, but whether the speech effectively communicates its message to the audience.
One way to determine the appropriate length for a speech is to consider the time allotted for the presentation. For example, if you have 20 minutes to speak, it may not be feasible to deliver a speech that is several thousand words long. On the other hand, if you have an hour or more to speak, you may be able to include more content and use more words.
Another factor to consider is the audience and the topic of the speech. If the topic is complex or technical, it may be necessary to use more words to fully explain the concepts and ideas being presented. On the other hand, if the topic is more straightforward or familiar to the audience, you may be able to use fewer words to get your point across.
Ultimately, the key to a successful speech is to find the right balance between the number of words and the time allotted for the presentation. By carefully considering the purpose of the speech, the audience, and the topic, you can determine the appropriate number of words to use to effectively communicate your message.
How Many Words Should Be in My Speech? (Based on Number of Minutes)
See all the 5 exercises to develop an adaptive speaking rate Tips taken from 1. These estimates use the average speaking pace of 150 words per minute to estimate. A tip is to divide your 750 words into the points you want to impart. By preparing in this way, you can deliver a powerful and effective presentation that will leave your audience impressed.

The 3D axis shows the direction of the Cartesian coordinates in the 3D window. It consists of 3 legs, a tip at the end of each leg, and a label specifying X, Y, or Z beyond the tip. The axis can be drawn using lines, as shown below, or as a solid model using cylinders and cones. The labels are drawn with lines in both cases. The 3D Axis property page controls the appearance of the axis, including its size, line thicknesses, size of the solid elements, size of the labels, tip details, colors, and whether or not the tips and/or labels are shown.
The axis size is specified as a percentage of the average extent of the 3D scale box. In addition to entering the percentage on the 3D Axis property page, several mouse and key actions change the size. Moving the mouse with the right button and the a key held down scales the axis. When the a key is held, the zoom toolbar buttons and the numeric keypad + and - affect the axis size (instead of the overall image size). When both the Ctrl and a keys are held down, the numeric keypad + and - keys scale the axis in larger increments than without the ctrl key.
The axis center (where the 3 legs come together) can be specified either in absolute coordinates or relative to the center of the 3D scale box. The coordinates and interpretation choice are made on the 3D Axis property page. The axis can be moved interactively along each of the 3 principal directions by holding down the x, y, or z key and moving the mouse with the right button held down or pressing the arrow keys. When using the arrow keys, holding down the Shift key (along with x, y, or z) moves the axis in larger increments.
The Axis tab of the information window shows the position of the axis center. The absolute position is reported, even when the center is relative to the 3D scale box. When the tab is active, the axis can be used as 3D marker to query the coordinates of objects in the 3D display.
The property page contains an item to reset the center position to (0, 0, 0) following the import of a model by reading a MCNP or Sabrina input file. The position is not reset upon reading a checkpoint file (that presumably contains the position). The Axis submenu of the 3D context menu contains items to toggle the axis visibility, move the center position to the middle of the 3D scale box, to (0, 0, 0) or to the intersection of the 2D plot planes, and to show the property page.

Complete Case Analysis
Complete case analysis (CCA), also known as case or listwise deletion (LD), is one of the oldest methods to handle missing data and consists in discarding any unit or case whose information is incomplete. Only the cases with observed values for all the variables under consideration are used in the analysis. For example, suppose we have a data set formed by \(i=1,\ldots,n\) individuals and that we want to fit a linear regression on some outcome variable \(y_i\) using some other variables \(x_{i1},\ldots,x_{ik}\) as covariates. CCA uses only the subset of cases with observed values on all the variables included in the analysis (completers).
CCA has been a quite popular approach to deal with missingness, mainly because it is very easy to implement (used by default in many statistical programs) and it allows the comparison of different univariate statistics in a straightforward way (calculated on a common set of cases). However, there are a number of potential disadvantages which threatens the validity of this method:
 1. Bias, when the missing data mechanism is not missing completely at random (MCAR) and the completers are not a random samples of all the cases
 2. Loss of efficiency, due to the potential loss of information in discarding the incomplete cases.
CCA may be justified when the loss of precision and bias are minimal, which is more likley to occur when the proportion of completers is high, although it is difficult to formulate rules that apply in general circumstances. Indeed, both the degree of loss of precision and bias depend not only on the fraction of completers and missingness patterns, but also on the extent to which complete and incomplete cases differ and the parameters of interest.
Let \(\hat{\theta}_{cc}\) be an estimate of a parameter of interest from the completers. One might measure the increase in variance of \(\hat{\theta}_{cc}\) with respect to the estimate \(\hat{\theta}\) that would be obtained in the absence of missing values. Using the notation of Little and Rubin (2019):
\[ \text{Var}(\hat{\theta}_{cc}) = \text{Var}(\hat{\theta})(1 + \Delta^{\star}_{cc}), \]
where \(\Delta^{\star}_{cc}\) is the proportional increase in variance from the loss of information. A more practical measure of the loss of inofrmation is \(\Delta_{cc}\), where
\[ \text{Var}(\hat{\theta}_{cc}) = \text{Var}(\hat{\theta}_{eff})(1 + \Delta_{cc}), \]
and \(\hat{\theta}_{eff}\) is an efficient estimate based on all the available data.
Example 1
Consider bivariate normal monotone data \(\bf y = (y_1,y_2)\), where \(n_{cc}\) out of \(n\) cases are complete and \(n - n_{cc}\) cases have observed values only on \(y_1\). Assume for simplicity that the missingness mechanism is MCAR and that the mean of \(y_j\) is estimated by the empirical mean from the complete cases \(\bar{y}^{cc}_j\). Then, the loss in sample size for estimating the mean of \(y_1\) is:
\[ \Delta_{cc}(\bar{y}_1) = \frac{n - n_{cc}}{n_{cc}}, \]
so that if half the cases are missing, the variance is doubled. For the mean of \(y_2\), the loss of information alos depends on the squared correlation \(\rho^{2}\) between the variables: (Little and Rubin (2019))
\[ \Delta_{cc}(\bar{y}_2) \approx \frac{(n - n_{cc})\rho^{2}}{n_{cc}(1 - \rho^{2}) + n_{cc}\rho^{2}}. \]
\(\Delta_{cc}(\bar{y}_2)\) varies from zero (when \(\rho=0\)) to \(\Delta_{cc}(\bar{y}_1)\) as \(\rho^{2} \rightarrow 1\). However, for the regression coefficients of \(y_2\) on \(y_1\) we have that \(\Delta_{cc}=0\) since the incomplete observations of \(y_1\) provide no information for estimating the parameters of the regression of \(y_2\) on \(y_1\).
Example 2
For inference about the population mean \(\mu\), the bias of CCA depends on the proportion of the completers \(\pi_{cc}\) and the extent to which complete and incomplete cases differ on the variables of interest. Suppose a variable \(y\) is partially-observed and that we partition the data into the subset of the completers \(y_{cc}\) and incompleters \(y_{ic}\), with associated population means \(\mu_{cc}\) and \(\mu_{ic}\), respectively. The overall mean can be written as a weighted average of the means of the two subsets
\[ \mu = \pi_{cc}\mu_{cc} + (1 - \pi_{cc})\mu_{ic}. \]
The bias of CCA is then equal to the expected fraction of incomplete cases multiplied by the differences in the means for complete and incomplete cases
\[ \mu_{cc} - \mu = (1 - \pi_{cc})(\mu_{cc} - \mu_{ic}).
Under MCAR, we have that \(\mu_{cc} = \mu_{ic}\) and therefore the bias is zero.
Example 3
Consider the estimation of the regression of \(y\) on \(x_1,\ldots,x_K\) from data with potential missing values on all variables and with the regression function correctly specified. The bias of CCA for estimating the regression coefficients \(\beta_1,\ldots,\beta_K\) associated with the covariates is null if the probbaility of being a completer depends on the \(x\)s but not \(y\), since the analysis conditions on the values of the covariates (Glynn and Laird (1986), White and Carlin (2010)). This class of missing data mechanisms includes missing not at random (MNAR), where the probability that a covariate is missing depends on the value of that covariate. However, CCA is biased if the probability of being a completer depends on \(y\) after conditioning on the covariates. A nice example of this particular topic and its implications for the analysis has been provided by professor Bartlett using some nice slides
The main virtue of case deletion is simplicity. If a missing data problem can be resolved by discarding only a small part of the sample, then the method can be quite effective. However, even in that situation, one should explore the data (Schafer and Graham (2002)). The discarded information from incomplete cases can be used to study whether the complete cases are plausibly a random subsample of the original sample, that is, whether MCAR is a reasonable assumption. A simple procedure is to compare the distribution of a particular variable \(y\) based on complete cases with the distribution of \(y\) based on incomplete cases for which \(y\) is recorded. Significant differences indicate that the MCAR assumption is invalid, and the complete-case analysis yields potentially biased estimates. Such tests are useful but have limited power when the sample of incomplete cases is small. Also the tests can offer no direct evidence on the validity of the missing at random (MAR) assumption.

Created Early Roman era (2nd century BC)
Discovered 17th century, undocumented circumstances
Present location National Museum of Archaeology (Malta Cippus) and, Sully wing, Ground floor, Mediterranean world, Room 18b, at the Louvre Museum[1][2] (Louvre Cippus)
Registration CIS I, 122/122 bis or KAI 47 (Malta Cippus), AO 4818 (Louvre Cippus)
The Cippi of Melqart is the collective name for two Phoenician marble cippi that were unearthed in Malta under undocumented circumstances and dated to the 2nd century BC. These are votive offerings to the god Melqart, and are inscribed in two languages, Ancient Greek and Phoenician, and in the two corresponding scripts, the Greek and the Phoenician alphabet. Because they present essentially the same text (with some minor differences), the cippi provided the key to the modern understanding of the Phoenician language. They were discovered in the late 17th century, although the date of their discovery is not precisely known. A source erroneously places their discovery in 1732, when they had already been mentioned in a letter dated 1694.
The tradition that the cippi were found in Marsaxlokk was only inferred by their dedication to Heracles,[n 1] whose temple in Malta had long been identified with the remains at Tas-Silġ.[n 2] In 1764, the French scholar Jean-Jacques Barthélémy relied on their inscription, which used 17[n 3] of the 22 letters of the Phoenician alphabet, to decipher the unknown language. The Grand Master of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller, Fra Emmanuel de Rohan-Polduc, presented one of the cippi to Louis XVI in 1782. This cippus is currently in the Louvre Museum in Paris, while the other rests in the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta, Malta.
Description and history[edit]
The importance of the cippi to Maltese archaeology is inestimable.[3] On the international level they already played a significant role in the deciphering and study of the Phoenician language in the 18th and 19th centuries.[3][5] Such was their importance to Phoenician and Punic philology, that the inscriptions on the cippi became known as the Inscriptio melitensis prima bilinguis (Latin for First bilingual Maltese inscription), or the Melitensis prima (First Maltese).[6]
Cippus is a term used to describe a small column, which is at times truncated. Cippi serve as milestones, funerary monuments, markers or votive offerings.[7] The earliest cippi had a cubic shape, and were carved from sandstone. By the late fifth century BC, these became gabled delicate stelae in the Greek fashion.[8] The Maltese marble cippus is about 96.52 centimetres (38 in) high at the highest point, and is broken at the top.[9] The Louvre Cippus is currently 1.05 metres (3 ft 5 in) high at its highest point, 0.34 m (1 ft 1 in) wide, and 0.31 m (1 ft 0 in) thick.[2] "Their form is light and gracefully executed ..." with a " ...Greek inscription upon the pedestal, [and] a masterpiece of Phoenician epigraphy."[9] The artifacts are carved in white marble, a stone which is not found naturally in the Maltese islands.[3] As it is unlikely that skilled marble carvers were available, they were probably imported in their finished state.[3] The inscriptions, however, were probably engraved in Malta on behalf of the two patrons, Abdosir and Osirxamar. Judging by the names on the main inscription, the patrons were of Tyrian extraction. The addition of a synopsis of the dedication in Greek, with the names of the dedicators and of Melqart given in their Hellenised versions, confirms the existence and influence of Hellenistic culture.[3] Additionally, while Malta had been colonised by the Phoenicians since the 8th century BC, by the second century, the Maltese islands were under Roman occupation.[2][10] The use of Phoenician script also confirms the survival of Phoenician culture and religion on the islands.[n 4]
Although it is not rare for cippi to have dedications,[12] the Cippi of Melqart have an unusual construction, as they have two parts. The base, or pedestal, is a rectangular block with mouldings at the top and bottom.[2] The inscriptions in Greek and Phoenician are at the front, three lines in Greek and four in Phoenician. The inscriptions are lightly incised.[2] The bases support pillars which are interpreted as candelabra. The lower parts of the candelabra are decorated with a shallow relief of acanthus leaves. Calligraphic differences in the incised text, varying positioning of the words and differences in the depth of the relief and the mouldings, imply that the two cippi are separate offerings, carrying the same inscription because the patrons were brothers.[n 5]
When the Greek inscription was published in the third volume of the Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum in 1853, the cippi were described as discovered in the coastal village of Marsaxlokk.[13] Before, their Marsaxlokk provenance had not been proposed by anyone, and it was more than a century later that the claim was discredited.[14] The attribution to Tas-Silġ was apparently reached by inference, because the candelabra were thought, with some plausibility, to have been dedicated and set up inside the temple of Heracles.[3][n 6]
Inscriptions on the Cippi[edit]

Translation of the Greek:

sons of Sarapion, Tyrenes,
to Heracles the founder.[n 9]
Discovery and publication[edit]
Phoenician Cippus at Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Malta.
In 1694, a Maltese canonicus, Ignazio di Costanzo, was the first to report an inscription on the cippi which he considered to be in the Phoenician language.[17] Costanzo spotted these inscriptions, which were part of two almost identical votive cippi at the entrance of Villa Abela in Marsa, the house of the celebrated Maltese historian, Gian Franġisk Abela.[4] Di Costanzo immediately recognised the Greek inscriptions, and he thought the other parts were written in Phoenician.[n 10] However, the Maltese historian Ciantar claimed that the cippi were discovered in 1732, and placed the discovery in the villa of Abela, which had become a museum entrusted to the Jesuits.[n 11] The contradiction in the dates of the discovery is confusing, given di Costanzo's 1694 letter.[3]
Ignazio Paterno, prince of Biscari, reports another story regarding their discovery. Paterno describes how two candelabri were stored at the Bibliotecha, after they had

Fixing the Retirement Lottery
In this report we set out a range of policy options including:
- Greater urgency in implementing agreed reforms, such as the move to calculate pension contributions from the first pound of earnings.
- Bringing more low earners (notably women) into the pensions system by abolishing the £10,000 earnings trigger for automatic enrolment.
- The need for government to set out a route map to improve contribution rates over the long term.
- Changes to pensions regulation to make it easier for open defined benefit schemes to remain open.
- Introduction of regulations to allow Collective Defined Contribution pension schemes.
- A crackdown on costs in pension schemes by ensuring that charges are transparent and pension schemes have the scale and power to drive down prices.
- The introduction of default pathways at retirement, to make it easy for retirees to secure a good standard of living in old age
At the heart of the TUC's approach to pensions is the belief that what people seek more than anything for their retirement is security and stability. And that for most of today's workers, their ability to provide for themselves in their old age is a lottery.
This report began life as a series of blogs on the TUC website and has been informed by feedback from both within and without the trade union movement.
It focuses on our system of workplace provision. It is here where government policy is unfinished. And it is here that there is the greatest potential for improvement.
This reports sets out the flaws in the current system:
- The employment lottery that means that workers in some sectors have decent provision, while in many others large numbers are excluded from pensions or receive very little.
- The investment lottery that means that someone who retires in a good year for investment markets can be many thousands of pounds a year better off than an otherwise identical saver who leaves in a bad year.
- The risks for individuals of a retirement income system that provides no clear route for securing a lifetime income.

Why are crazy people called nut jobs? Why are they called a job? Wiktionary is of no help here.

Maybe looking at its origin will help. SlangDictionary.com defines "nut-job" as:
a more recent variation of nut-case
"Nut-case" being:
a crazy person. A slang version of 'mental case' which spread from American speech into British usage at the end of the 1950s.
Thus, if "nut-job" was a mere variant of "nut-case", then, "job" would make sense. A "case" has two meanings:
a person or thing whose plight or situation calls for attention:
A piece of work, specifically defined within a profession.
The second meaning of "case" is synonymous with "job", and thus, in when "nut-case" was given a variation, its synonym "job" was taken and used. Thus, there would be a logical reason why "job" is used here.

I agree - I think this is closer to the meaning that the other 'object of particular type' explanations. – tinyd Aug 23 '11 at 10:04
That's some piece of work you got there. – David Schwartz Aug 23 '11 at 11:00
I think that this sounds like a stretch. "Case" is not synonymous with "job", at least not within the medical profession where this supposedly originated. Having said that, I now understand why my father used to call me "a piece of work". – JeffSahol Aug 23 '11 at 12:44
"Case" in this context may have referred to a medical case, a patient with a particular ailment. To say that someone was a mental case was to say that that person was not physically ill but, well, nuts. – Beta Aug 23 '11 at 12:45
_USER_: case and job are synonymous when they mean "example thereof", which is the case here, so to speak. Speaking as a Brit I never heard of nut-job until this question. – FumbleFingers Aug 24 '11 at 4:44
This use is very similar to whack job and also similar to other slang uses of job such as "do a job on" or "a bank job" (meaning to rob a bank). Here, job just means something of a particular type.
"I got a new oven, one of those self-cleaning jobs."
"Use a real-dictionary, not one of those new-fangled online jobs."
You'll also find nut job used a lot in this same construction. "He's one of those right-wing conspiracy nut jobs."

not sure bank job has the same meaning as the others as it really does seem to mean a task there – jk. Aug 23 '11 at 12:37
I think you're correct. 'Bank job' is like'some piece of work'. – David Schwartz Aug 23 '11 at 12:39
I can also think of a couple of rude 'x-job' expressions which are closer to the more 'task-oriented' interpretation :) – tinyd Aug 24 '11 at 10:17
Job here is used informally to refer to something of a certain kind. See for example the definition under object in the OALD or the definition under example in the CALD.

This one may be more closely related to "jobber," which means a "person who does a particular job," but also gained an extended sense of "guy," or "fellow," e.g., "See that jobber over there." Over time, jobber may have been truncated to "job."

I knew the etymology of "nut" from OED in that it can refer to the head. Etymology of "job" refers to "piece of work" from the 1550s (_URL_ I would guess the way that we slangily use "piece of work" to mean someone who doesn't make sense, "nut job" would logically follow as it is shorter than "nut piece of work"...

As others have pointed out, this usage of "job" basically derives from "piece of work". It's not normally used of people, but it's been around a long time in slang. More commonly in the diminutive form jobbie, as in "A Blackberry is one of those hand-held jobbies".
All job really means here is "example" ("instance of"). In this slang usage there's no particular implication that the thing (or person, here) being referred to is either a task, or the end result of task-oriented labour.
Anyway, here's a chart to clarify that nutjob isn't really going anywhere... enter image description here

Just don't use that diminutive form of job in Scotland - it has an entirely different meaning there especially given the example of it's usage here. – RoguePlanetoid Aug 24 '11 at 7:48
_USER_: I did know that usage. Here in Southern UK we don't often use it "naturally", but you do sometimes hear "jobbie" spoken in an exaggerated Glaswegan accent - though it's largely replaced by the US import "dump" nowadays. And I think "big jobs" has always had connotations of "baby-talk"; you rarely hear that except from children (or their mothers talking to them). – FumbleFingers Aug 24 '11 at 15:13
I'm a firm believer many words like these function as compound words. I would think to define the term by it's constituent parts.
Thus, a definition of a nut job could be a label for a person who acts nutty, loony, weird, "out of touch with the main-stream". Plus this behavior is burdensome to the people who interact with the person--exhausting, demanding, unavoidable, persistent, etc. Its work to be their friend or acquaintance.
What makes the phrase interesting it the word "job" may seem to refer to the person defined by their actions. The uses I've heard (and found below) are not synonymous with "nutcase". Again, using the compound word comparison, "nut case" would be: loony person + document case file = certifiable crazy person.
While "nut job": loony person + diminutive work = someone made crazy by their work. Here are two quick examples of politician and actor. Oddly, the male examples I found tended to use nutjob with examples of extreme antisocial behavior (criminals).
Maybe nutjob is a gendered slang term?

Everyone was produced by a mother. That was a "job."
In the case of a "nut," the implication was that the "job" wasn't a very good one.

altMethod R is a fast, effective, commonsense approach to optimizing a system. It was first documented in the book Optimizing Oracle Performancealt by Method R founding members Cary Millsap and Jeff Holt.
Method R prescribes four simple steps:
 1. Identify the task that's the most important to you.
 2. Measure its response time (R). In detail.
 4. Repeat until your system is economically optimal.
Method R was first described in courseware written in 1999 through 2002 by Method R founder Cary Millsap and chief scientist Jeff Holt, before they finished the bookalt in 2003, for which Cary and Jeff were named Oracle Magazine 2004 Author of the Year. Method R is described in Chapter 1.
Method R has been used extensively at Oracle sites throughout the 2000s, with tremendous success.
Although Method R was first documented in an Oracle context, its usefulness extends far beyond that Oracle context. In fact, the definition of Method R does not refer specifically to Oracle, databases, or even computers.

In your interface, you can formally declare an instance variable between the braces, or via _USER_ outside the braces, or both. Either way, they become attributes of the class. The difference is that if you declare _USER_, then you can implement using _USER_, which auto-codes your getter/setter for you. The auto-coder setter initializes integers and floats to zero, for example. IF you declare an instance variable, and DO NOT specify a corresponding _USER_, then you cannot use _USER_ and MUST write your own getter/setter.
You can always override the auto-coded getter/setter by specifying your own. This is commonly done with the managedObjectContext property which is lazily loaded. Thus, you declare your managedObjectContext as a property, but then also write a -(NSManagedObjectContext *)managedObjectContext method. Recall that a method, which has the same name as an instance variable/property is the "getter" method.
The _USER_ declaration method also allows you other options, such as retain and readonly, which the instance variable declaration method does not. Basically, ivar is the old way, and _USER_ extends it and makes it fancier/easier. You can refer to either using the self. prefix, or not, it doesn't matter as long as the name is unique to that class. Otherwise, if your superclass has the same name of a property as you, then you have to say either like self.name or super.name in order to specify which name you are talking about.
Thus, you will see fewer and fewer people declare ivars between the braces, and instead shift toward just specifying _USER_, and then doing _USER_. You cannot do _USER_ in your implementation without a corresponding _USER_. The Synthesizer only knows what type of attribute it is from the _USER_ specification. The synthesize statement also allows you to rename properties, so that you can refer to a property by one name (shorthand) inside your code, but outside in the.h file use the full name. However, with the really cool autocomplete that XCode now has, this is less of an advantage, but is still there.
Hope this helps clear up all the confusion and misinformation that is floating around out there.

Black Bear Sightings on the Rise in Northeast Ohio
A black bear visited Bedford Heights and Solon last week, and these kinds of visits may become more common.
The Bedford Bear isn't alone. More of his friends may be coming to visit in the coming years.
That's because, wildlife officials say, the black bear population in the region is on the rise.
Ohio's Division of Wildlife told the Plain Dealer that the number of bear sightings have increased five fold in the last decade or so, to more than 150 last year. Wildlife officials say there are as many as 100 black bears living in Ohio.
According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Black bears were once prevalent in Ohio, but deforestation and land clearing slashed their population. By 1850, there were no black bears in Ohio.
Because wildlife officials have seen female bears and cubs in Ohio, they know the population is growing.
If you see a bear in the wild (or your backyard), don't approach it. Wildlife officials say people should simply leave the animal alone and let it leave.
"Bears are usually afraid of people," according to a state wildlife website about bears, with an added reminder: "Black bears are protected by Ohio wildlife laws and injuring or killing one is illegal."
Still, you should report the sighting to police, which helps officials track the bears.

The Try-Catch in UiPath Studio is an activity for managing exceptions. It allows you to determine how to respond if an exception is thrown so that you can handle it appropriately. This helps to prevent the UiPath robot from abruptly breaking in the event of an exception, and it's considered a key element of RPA development best practices.
Structure of the Try Catch
The Try-Catch activity contains three main sections: 1. Try that holds the activity or set of activities that could throw an exception.
2. Catches to indicate the exception type and, optionally, holds an activity or set of activities that'll be executed when the specified exception is thrown.
3. Finally, holds an activity or set of activities that'll always be executed.
Try - the activity or sequence of activities performed which has a chance of throwing an error.
Catches - the activity or set of activities to be performed when an error occurs. Here you must select the exception type to look for.
Finally - the activity or set of activities to be performed after the Try and Catches blocks are executed regardless of the result, which means it'll be executed if an error is caught or no errors occur.
There's no one right way to use the Try-Catch activity, as it depends on the design of your automation or process and its structure. However, you can avoid common mistakes and follow best practices. Here are some useful tips. 1. How to throw an exception properly
In UiPath, it's possible to throw both business and system exceptions to indicate when an error has occurred in your automation process. Here's how you can throw each type of exception. Business Exceptions: business exceptions are user-defined exceptions that you can throw in your automation process to indicate a specific error has occurred. To throw a business exception, you can use the "Throw" activity and specify the type of exception you want to throw. Example: New BusinessRuleException("You message here")
System Exceptions: System exceptions are pre-defined exceptions that are built into the.NET framework. To throw a system exception, you can use the "Throw" activity and specify the type of exception you want to throw.
Example: New System.IO.FileNotFoundException("file not found")
2. Try to avoid using nested Try-Catch When you use nested Try-Catch activities, it makes it harder to manage your Catches. Also, it doesn't look good in your code, making it hard for maintenance or changes on your project.
3. Try to catch specific exceptions In this way, you'll have control on what to do depending on the exception throw.
4. Remember that the Catches will always match the most specific exception first. In the example below, when the SelectorNotfoundException is thrown, it'll match the correspondent exception in the Catches, even if the Generic Exception is set.
5. Keep in mind to distinguish between Business Exceptions and System Exceptions Business Exceptions are related to processed data and the business logic. A Business Exception will be treated differently because it's related to the business specifications. This is something that can be controlled and must be assessed in the project requirements gathering.
System Exceptions are always related to the applications that the robot interacts with. A System Exception can happen anytime and can or can't be expected. So, the robot must be prepared to handle this type of exception. This is something present on the UiPath REFramework.
Here are some of the most common exceptions you may encounter during your RPA project development. Of course, there are plenty of other exceptions, but these are the ones you're likely to face sooner or later. System.IO.IOException - Occurs in many file I/O operations.
UiPath.Core.SelectorNotFoundException — The most common exception in UiPath, related to a selector that may have changed or that the robot was unable to find.
System.NullReferenceException — Exception related to calling a method on a null object reference.
System.ArgumentNullException — Occurs when a null argument is used in an invoked workflow.
IndexOutOfRangeException - The index is outside the range of an array or collection, meaning it exceeds its capacity.
TimeoutException — Occurs when an operation that was supposed to take place within a certain timeframe has expired.
The Try-Catch activity is an essential tool for managing exceptions in UiPath RPA projects. Exceptions can occur at any time and their proper handling can mean the difference for a successful project. By using the Try-Catch activity and following best practices, you can ensure a robust and stable automation process. Don't forget, proper exception handling is key to the success of your automation projects.

Dancer::Serializer::JSON - serializer for handling JSON data
This class is an interface between Dancer's serializer engine abstraction layer and the JSON module.
In order to use this engine, use the template setting:
This can be done in your config.yml file or directly in your app code with the set keyword. This serializer will also be used when the serializer is set to mutable and the correct Accept headers are supplied.
The JSON module will pass configuration variables straight through. Some of these can be useful when debugging/developing your app: pretty and canonical, and others useful with ORMs like DBIx::Class: allow_blessed and convert_blessed. Please consult the JSON documentation for more information and a full list of configuration settings. You can add extra settings to the engines configuration to turn these on. For example:
engines: JSON: allow_blessed: '1' canonical: '1' convert_blessed: '1'
Serialize a data structure to a JSON structure.
Deserialize a JSON structure to a data structure

Deciphering the World of Modern Dating
Modern dating can often feel like navigating a labyrinth. The advent of digital technology and dating apps has brought new dimensions to human interactions, turning the once straightforward process into an intricate puzzle of signals, emojis, and read receipts. This complexity is exacerbated when you're left in a perplexing situation: 'he unmatched me but is still texting.' This scenario can evoke a cascade of questions, and justifiably so. What does it mean? Is it a common phenomenon, or is it an isolated incident? What is the appropriate reaction?
In the light of such queries, understanding the core dynamics of modern dating is crucial. One essential aspect of this is the shift in power dynamics enabled by the anonymity and distance of digital platforms. The traditional script of dating has been transformed, allowing for diverse narratives and complexities. This has, undoubtedly, blurred the lines of communication and behavior, culminating in the perplexing situation of being unmatched, yet still receiving texts.
The realm of online dating is replete with mixed signals. He might unmatch you on the dating app, eliminating the visual reminder of your existence in his digital dating sphere, yet he still finds a way to keep the conversation alive through texts. This paradoxical situation begs a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that drive such behaviors.
The anonymity and convenience of online dating can lead individuals to adopt unconventional behaviors, often driven by complex emotions, changing desires, or even an underlying fear of commitment. Unmatching while continuing to text might be one such manifestation, reflecting a certain ambiguity in his intentions or feelings.
This scenario is often seen as a red flag by many relationship experts who perceive it as a sign of indecisiveness, non-commitment, or, worse, manipulation. However, the world of emotions and relationships is seldom black and white, and it is vital to understand the diverse reasons behind such actions.
Unmasking Mixed Signals: 5 Revealing Signs in the 'He Unmatched Me but Is Still Texting' Scenario
1. The Fear of Commitment: send mixed signals when they're scared of getting too involved or committing. Unmatching you on the app could be his way of maintaining a safe distance while texting keeps you within his comfort zone. He might want to continue the conversation without the added pressure that the dating app implies.
2. The Balancing Act: be juggling multiple interests at the same time. Unmatching you could be an attempt to manage his digital dating space while texting ensures he keeps his options open. In such cases, he might view you as a potential interest but is not ready to give up exploring other possibilities.
3. The Desire for Control: continuing to text can also be about maintaining control over the situation. He can decide when and how to interact with you, putting him in a dominant position. This power dynamic can make you feel uncertain and anxious, furthering his control.
4. The Pursuit of Ego Gratification: seek validation and gratification by keeping others in their sphere of influence. This can be achieved by sending mixed signals like unmatching yet continuing to text. The perplexity it creates often leads to more attention given to him, fulfilling his ego needs
5. The Buffer Zone: to unmatch could be about creating a buffer zone that separates his online dating life from his personal life. By moving the conversation to text, he can manage his digital persona while keeping you in the loop.
These five signs provide a roadmap to decipher the actions of your digital suitor. However, it is essential to remember that everyone's motivations may differ, and these signs may not always apply universally. It is always important to trust your intuition and prioritize open, honest communication to understand the person better.
Understanding Your Worth: Emotional Turmoil
Being unmatched but still receiving texts can stir a whirlwind of emotions, leading to self-doubt and confusion. It is critical to remember that you are not alone in this situation, and many others have experienced the same perplexity. The digital dating world is complex, and situations like these often reflect more on the person who unmatched you than on you.
It is essential not to take such actions personally. The decision to unmatch could be driven by a multitude of factors, many of which have nothing to do with your worth or attractiveness. Instead, they often reflect the individual's indecisiveness or fear of commitment.
When confronted with such a situation, your emotional well-being should be the priority. Engage in self-care, reach out to supportive friends, or seek professional guidance. Set boundaries and decide what you are willing to tolerate. It is okay to communicate your discomfort and ask for clarity.
You are deserving of a relationship that is clear and unambiguous, where mixed signals don't leave you guessing. Don't let the perplexity of the modern dating world compromise your self-worth. Stay strong, and you are more than the sum of your texts.


text: Acoustic reflectance measurement techniques have been investigated that are calibrated using pressure responses measured in one or more cylindrical tubes and viscothermal models of wall loss. Of clinical interest as a test of hearing is a single-microphone technique to measure the inherently nonlinear ear-canal reflectance at various stimulus levels. Calibration of the probe containing the sound source/receiver consists of measuring the source reflectance of the probe and the incident pressure response at each stimulus level. A single-tube technique relies on separability of the tube response into incident and reflected signals, while multi-tube techniques rely on solving an overdetermined matrix equation of responses. The matrix includes weighting factors that differ across tubes by reflectance or SPL to control for inadequate signal-to-noise ratios at isolated frequencies, and a regularized matrix inverse solution is compared to the pseudoinverse solution. The single-tube technique functions as well as the best performing multi-tube technique, and requires fewer calibration steps. However, there is an ambiguity between the tube length chosen in the tube response model and the measured phase of the source reflectance. This ambiguity is addressed by a priori knowledge of the phase response of the probe averaged across frequency.

Motion-correlated flow distortion and wave-induced biases in air–sea flux measurements from ships
- 1School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK
- 2National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK
- anow at: Centre for Applied Geosciences, University of Tübingen, Germany
Abstract. Direct measurements of the turbulent air–sea fluxes of momentum, heat, moisture and gases are often made using sensors mounted on ships. Ship-based turbulent wind measurements are corrected for platform motion using well established techniques, but biases at scales associated with wave and platform motion are often still apparent in the flux measurements. It has been uncertain whether this signal is due to time-varying distortion of the air flow over the platform or to wind–wave interactions impacting the turbulence. Methods for removing such motion-scale biases from scalar measurements have previously been published but their application to momentum flux measurements remains controversial. Here we show that the measured motion-scale bias has a dependence on the horizontal ship velocity and that a correction for it reduces the dependence of the measured momentum flux on the orientation of the ship to the wind. We conclude that the bias is due to experimental error and that time-varying motion-dependent flow distortion is the likely source.

For tax calculation, the law specifies that a business must deduct from an actual expense and must follow the regulation. Normally, a business which is a juristic person decides to calculate the tax from its net profit or be deductable at a lump-sum instead of actual expense.
For juristic person, the calculation for net profit is as follows;
Net profit for juristic person = (tax income - tax expenses)
This calculation derives from an amended item of net profit in accounting;
1. Tax revenue is a statement which is not recorded as an income for accounting principle, but it an income note for taxation principle; for example, a company's owner wants to take a loan from the company without any interest as the company is his own. Conversely, for tax law, there should be an interest for such loan as such money is the company's income, and the interest payment should not be lower than what specifies in the law.
2. Exempt revenue is some income unit. For the accounting principle it is considered as an income. However, for taxation principle it is not considered as an income. As a result, profit for taxation is lower than profit for accounting; for example, in case a dividend income from a limited company is calculated as a semi-income or the total amount is exempted.
3. Expense of forbidden expenditure is an expense occurred from of a business operation of juristic person, and it is recorded as an expense in an accounting period which such statement takes place. For taxation, however, this is not considered as an expense for net profit calculation. A limitation of expense for net profit calculation for a company or registered ordinary partnership as specified in Revenue Code.
4. Expense deductible at a greater amount is an expense statement that taxation principle specifies to deduct as an expense in a greater amount than accounting principle. As a result, profit for taxation is lower than accounting i.e. the more the expense in accounting is deducted, the double the expense in taxation is deducted.
