As I mentioned in my previous article of "Fuzzy Delphi Method to Design a Strategic Plan", I would like to continue the debate on Distance Method.
But before going to the distance method, let me explain my story as follows:
While I was working on discrepancy between basic and distance method on driving forces, I encountered to a phenomena. Now, let me depict this phenomenon in the framework of a theorem below cited:
Inequality Theorem in Fuzzy Logic
Assume, there is the fuzzy subset A of X where X is a universal set. Then, we define the fuzzy set of A by its membership function (MF=Membership Function) as follows:
MFA: X ------- [0, 1]
It means that a real number MFA (x) in the interval [0, 1] is assigned to each element x where x is a member of X and also the value of MFA (x) at x presents the grade of membership of x in A.
We consider below conditions for the fuzzy set A:
-Fuzzy set A is a convex and normalized fuzzy set in which we can say the fuzzy set A is a fuzzy number.
- Fuzzy set A is a central triangular fuzzy number where we have:
For central triangular fuzzy number A= (a, b, c): MFA (x) = 2(x-a)/c-a If a < x < b
MFA (x) = 2(x-c)/a-c If b < x < c
b = (a + c)/2
Now, we assume the set of S is included all central triangular fuzzy numbers as follows:
S = [Ai], i = 1, 2, 3,…….n
In fact, we have:

Diseases & Treating Sick Freshwater Angelfish
Even the most experienced angelfish breeders have to deal with
angelfish diseases. Sometimes keeping the water at optimal conditions
and doing regular fish
tank maintenance isn't enough to prevent an angelfish from
getting sick. Regular maintenance is however a good way to reduce
the chance of any fish getting sick. Preventing diseases is
always better than trying to cure diseases. The common freshwater
angelfish diseases can be divided into 2 categories, bacterial
and parasitic diseases.
Common Bacterial Diseases:
Cotton Wool Disease - Usually caused by low temperature,
poor water quality or crowding. It can be seen as an expanding
translucent layer on the skin of the fish that eats away at
the skin. The edges often are bloody. The fish should be discarded
if the disease is in advanced stages. If the disease is in its
early stages it can be treated by using either 4 teaspoons marine
salt to a gallon of aquarium water and potassium chromate or
Dropsy, Popeye, Bleeding or Red Streaks on Skin - These
are signs of an internal bacterial infection related to Vibrios.
At the early stages of this infection the fish can be treated
with a few commercial medications like Maracyn-Two or Erythromycin.
Fish T.B. - This disease usually shows up as loss of
color and swelling of the body. The fish may also have blood
streaks and blood spots anywhere on the body. This infection
is usually a result of poor water quality which lowers the immune
system of the angelfish. There are no treatments for this infectious
bacterial disease and the infected fish should be removed at
first signs of it to prevent spreading to tank mates.
Common Parasitic Diseases:
Hexamita - Angelfish can pick up this infection when
under stress from poor water conditions, shipping or other diseases.
The infected fish will stop eating, hide and act listless. It
will also have whitish colored feces. The best treatments for
Hexamita are drugs with metronidazole.
Ich or White Spot Disease - Chilling and stress are
common causes of outbreaks of white spot disease or Ich. The
disease appears as tiny white spots on the skin of the host
fish. The angelfish may also rub against tank wall and decorations.
There are several commercial remedies available to treat Ich.
Look for ones that contain formalin, malachite green or copper
Velvet Disease - It can be hard to detect on the infected
fish but it appears as a dusty golden film on the skin and eyes
of the angelfish. The infected fish may also rub against the
walls and decorations in the tank. Copper sulfate or formalin
are both effective treatments for velvet disease.

1. I have simplified the dilution method by using a stock glycerine emulsion of the virulent cord, from which the desired dilutions can be readily prepared. The proportion of glycerine should not exceed ⅕ part, if it is desired to retain the full virulence of the emulsion.
2. There is some danger of giving rabies to animals in the dilution immunization treatment, a danger which is not present in the Pasteur method.
3. The dried-cord method does not rest solely upon the principle of dilution, but is based also upon attenuation of the virus.
4. The Pasteur method being entirely free from the element of danger which pertains to the glycerine dilution method and resting upon a sounder experimental basis is the one to be preferred.

MISTY partners submit written evidence to the IDC climate change inquiry
17 June, 2021
This short inquiry launched by the IDC is intended to see what the UK Government has done to date to ensure climate justice is intwined in its development strategy, and what more can be done ahead of COP26. The written evidence submitted by Ricardo Safra de Campos, Maria Franco Gavonel and Neil Adger at the University of Exeter specifically addresses the following items in the climate change inquiry Terms of Reference:
The extent to which the Government's work to date on climate change and development has taken the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the needs of low-and-middle income countries and vulnerable groups into account;
The potential of COP26 to address these remaining challenges effectively and the steps the Government needs to take if COP26 is to succeed in tackling them.


NAME FFI::CheckLib - Check that a library is available for FFI VERSION version 0.27 SYNOPSIS use FFI::CheckLib; check_lib_or_exit( lib => 'jpeg', symbol => 'jinit_memory_mgr' ); check_lib_or_exit( lib => [ 'iconv', 'jpeg' ] ); # or prompt for path to library and then: print "where to find jpeg library: "; my $path = ; check_lib_or_exit( lib => 'jpeg', libpath => $path ); DESCRIPTION This module checks whether a particular dynamic library is available for FFI to use. It is modeled heavily on Devel::CheckLib, but will find dynamic libraries even when development packages are not installed. It also provides a find_lib function that will return the full path to the found dynamic library, which can be feed directly into FFI::Platypus or another FFI system. Although intended mainly for FFI modules via FFI::Platypus and similar, this module does not actually use any FFI to do its detection and probing. This module does not have any non-core runtime dependencies. The test suite does depend on Test2::Suite. FUNCTIONS All of these take the same named parameters and are exported by default. find_lib my(_USER_) = find_lib(%args); This will return a list of dynamic libraries, or empty list if none were found. [version 0.05] If called in scalar context it will return the first library found. Arguments are key value pairs with these keys: lib Must be either a string with the name of a single library or a reference to an array of strings of library names. Depending on your platform, CheckLib will prepend lib or append.dll or.so when searching. [version 0.11] As a special case, if * is specified then any libs found will match. libpath A string or array of additional paths to search for libraries. systempath [version 0.11] A string or array of system paths to search for instead of letting FFI::CheckLib determine the system path. You can set this to [] in order to not search any system paths. symbol A string or a list of symbol names that must be found. verify A code reference used to verify a library really is the one that you want. It should take two arguments, which is the name of the library and the full path to the library pathname. It should return true if it is acceptable, and false otherwise. You can use this in conjunction with FFI::Platypus to determine if it is going to meet your needs. Example: use FFI::CheckLib; use FFI::Platypus; my($lib) = find_lib( lib => 'foo', verify => sub { my($name, $libpath) = _USER_; my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new; $ffi->lib($libpath); my $f = $ffi->function('foo_version', [] => 'int'); return $f->call() >= 500; # we accept version 500 or better }, ); recursive [version 0.11] Recursively search for libraries in any non-system paths (those provided via libpath above). try_linker_script [version 0.24] Some vendors provide.so files that are linker scripts that point to the real binary shared library. These linker scripts can be used by gcc or clang, but are not directly usable by FFI::Platypus and friends. On select platforms, this options will use the linker command (ld) to attempt to resolve the real.so for non-binary files. Since there is extra overhead this is off by default. An example is libyaml on Red Hat based Linux distributions. On Debian these are handled with symlinks and no trickery is required. alien [version 0.25] If no libraries can be found, try the given aliens instead. The Alien classes specified must provide the Alien::Base interface for dynamic libraries, which is to say they should provide a method called dynamic_libs that returns a list of dynamic libraries. assert_lib assert_lib(%args); This behaves exactly the same as find_lib, except that instead of returning empty list of failure it throws an exception. check_lib_or_exit check_lib_or_exit(%args); This behaves exactly the same as assert_lib, except that instead of dying, it warns (with exactly the same error message) and exists. This is intended for use in Makefile.PL or Build.PL find_lib_or_exit [version 0.05] my(_USER_) = find_lib_or_exit(%args); This behaves exactly the same as find_lib, except that if the library is not found, it will call exit with an appropriate diagnostic. find_lib_or_die [version 0.06] my(_USER_) = find_lib_or_die(%args); This behaves exactly the same as find_lib, except that if the library is not found, it will die with an appropriate diagnostic. check_lib my $bool = check_lib(%args); This behaves exactly the same as find_lib, except that it returns true (1) on finding the appropriate libraries or false (0) otherwise. which [version 0.17] my $path = where($name); Return the path to the first library that matches the given name. Not exported by default. where [version 0.17] my _USER_ = where($name); Return the paths to all the libraries that match the given name. Not exported by default. has_symbols [version 0.17] my $bool = has_symbols($path, _USER_); Returns true if all of the symbols can be found in the dynamic library located at the given path. Can be useful in conjunction with verify with find_lib above. Not exported by default. system_path [version 0.20] my $path = FFI::CheckLib::system_path; Returns the system path as a list reference. On some systems, this is PATH on others it might be LD_LIBRARY_PATH on still others it could be something completely different. So although you may add items to this list, you should probably do some careful consideration before you do so. This function is not exportable, even on request. FAQ Why not just use dlopen? Calling dlopen on a library name and then dlclose immediately can tell you if you have the exact name of a library available on a system. It does have a number of drawbacks as well. No absolute or relative path It only tells you that the library is somewhere on the system, not having the absolute or relative path makes it harder to generate useful diagnostics. POSIX only This doesn't work on non-POSIX systems like Microsoft Windows. If you are using a POSIX emulation layer on Windows that provides dlopen, like Cygwin, there are a number of gotchas there as well. Having a layer written in Perl handles this means that developers on Unix can develop FFI that will more likely work on these platforms without special casing them. inconsistent implementations Even on POSIX systems you have inconsistent implementations. OpenBSD for example don't usually include symlinks for.so files meaning you need to know the exact.so version. non-system directories By default dlopen only works for libraries in the system paths. Most platforms have a way of configuring the search for different non-system paths, but none of them are portable, and are usually discouraged anyway. Alien and friends need to do searches for dynamic libraries in non-system directories for share installs. My 64-bit Perl is misconfigured and has 32-bit libraries in its search path. Is that a bug in FFI::CheckLib? Nope. The way FFI::CheckLib is implemented it won't work on AIX, HP-UX, OpenVMS or Plan 9. I know for a fact that it doesn't work on AIX as currently implemented because I used to develop on AIX in the early 2000s, and I am aware of some of the technical challenges. There are probably other systems that it won't work on. I would love to add support for these platforms. Realistically these platforms have a tiny market share, and absent patches from users or the companies that own these operating systems (patches welcome), or hardware / CPU time donations, these platforms are unsupportable anyway.

Question text is in black, my answers in blue.
No, you can implement this with
variables. The numerical precision problem is that the true probabilities
are fractions and the
double values you'll use are thus
approximations. When you add up lots of numbers that are slightly off, the
errors can accumulate. But here you are only adding a few thousand numbers
and the error shouldn't be significant. The problem of integer overflow is
that if you deal with numbers larger than 2 billion or so the computer wraps
around and gets wrong answers. I don't see why you would want such large
numbers for this problem, particularly if you deal with all the probabilities
double values, but in any case we won't worry about overflow
when grading your paper code.
No, for the homework
you can assume that you have a package lying around that does all this
stuff, so you can just call methods like However, coding up these methods on your own is a good way to internalize
their definitions, and would be fair game as a test question!
binom(n, k) or
bernoulli(n, i, p) and not even worry precisely what they are
called. The point of this problem is to show that you can solve the baseball
problem using the material from the chapter.
However, coding up these methods on your own is a good way to internalize their definitions, and would be fair game as a test question!
First, the standard Poisson variable is equal to 0 with probability 1/e, equal to 1 with probability 1/e, equal to 2 with probability 1/2e, equal to 3 with probability 1/6e, and in general equal to 1 with probability 1/(i!)e. The expected value of P is an infinite sum, 0(1/e) + 1(1/e) + 2(1/2e) + 3(1/6e) +..., and this is a sum that you should recognize. To get the variance, you need to also calculate the expected value of P2, which is another infinite sum, 02(1/e) + 12(1/e) + 22(1/2e) + 32(1/6e) +..., that is harder but still possible to evaluate just knowing the basic fact that ex is the sum for all i of xi/i!. (The hard part in MATH 132 was seeing why this is true using Taylor series, but we don't need to get into that.)

The Colombia: The Nature of Culture program at the 2011 Smithsonian Folklife Festival invited visitors to journey through the rich bio-cultural diversity of Colombia and explore how Colombian cultural expressions are inextricably connected to their distinctive environments.
The program highlighted six ecosystems and the urban centers of Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali. One hundred Colombian artists participated. They sang, danced, juggled, prepared food, and told stories. They wove ruanas, baskets, hats, hammocks; crafted sculptures, pots, canoes. And they demonstrated a variety of occupational processes and the ways in which their practices supported environmental sustainability. The program offered audiences a window into the country's unique cultural traditions in order to learn more about the creativity and vitality of Colombia's diverse population.
An itinerary for the journey
The journey through the Festival site was designed to begin in the (1) Andean Highlands of the eastern mountain range. Descending into the valley of the Magdalena River and the central mountain range, we traveled through the (2) Coffee Triangle. Heading north to the (3) Momposino Depression, we arrived in the lowlands of the Magdalena River, the cradle of the country's Caribbean culture. After crossing a third mountain range, we entered the (4) Pacific Rainforest, predominantly inhabited by people of African descent. A long journey to the east through the (5) Southeastern Plains took us to the ranching cultural frontier. Finally, we entered into the (6) Amazonian tropical rainforest where we explored a richly bio-diverse region inhabited by diverse indigenous communities. In Bogota, Medellín, and Cali, we examined the confluence of the primarily rural ecosystems in a Metropolitan setting.

The Nipponese Quince Essay, Research Paper
A.P. English The Nipponese Quince In The Nipponese Quince written by John Galsworthy, the actions of Mr. Nilson, a well-known and affluent man of affairs, consist the secret plan. The narrative basically describes Mr. Nilson s amble through Square Gardens, which leads to a realisation that he lacks spontaneousness, which in bend has prevented him from appreciating nature, so when he does see the beauty in nature, he gets fascinated by it. Developments in the secret plan are Mr. Nilson s feeling of emptiness, his infatuation with the Nipponese Quince, and the brush with Mr. Tandram.Mr. Nilson s complaint ab initio starts out as benign and described as a curious sweetish esthesis in the dorsum of his pharynx, and a feeling of emptiness merely under his 5th rib. However, this esthesis was intense plenty to hold Mr. Nilson deviate from his day-to-day modus operandi. This feeling of emptiness additions and shortly is more mistily described as a fagot feeling and a swoon hurting merely above his bosom. Mr. Nilson tries to explicate what is doing this, but ends up with nil. When Mr. Nilson says, and here I am the lone individual in the Square who has the-to come out and-, this signifies his feeling of emptiness is even apparent in his comment. He was seeking to state that he couldn t believe that he s the lone 1 who has the desire to come out and look at nature. The reader, can comprehend what the cause of it is when there are elans in topographic point of words. He can t ptyalize these words out because he has ne'er experienced the beauty of nature. The Nipponese Quince fascinates Mr. Nilson ; it [ is ] so alive and reasonably. The tree with its pink and white flowers serves an cosmetic intent, since it doesn t do anything so utile as bear fruit. This is a contrast to Mr. Nilson s mechanical life, along with his fathead clock. Mr. Nilson s
life is being a man of affairs, while the fathead clock s life is to start out and sing every hr on the hr to do people cognizant of the clip. Both of these occupations are really mechanical in that Mr. Nilson follows a set agenda mundane and does non diverge from it, while the fathead clock pops out every hr on the hr twenty-four hours after twenty-four hours. It s Mr. Nilson s life in general that is doing him lack spontaneousness. The fathead clock besides is a contrast to the blackbird that is alive and existent. The blackbird produces sweet and tuneful vocals, while the fathead clock produces the same humdrum vocal every hr on the hr. When Mr. Nilson sees the Nipponese Quince, he is dazzled by it because due to his busy life with work, he doesn t have clip to be fascinated with nature.
Mr. Nilson s brush with Mr. Tandram is the concluding development in the secret plan. Mr. Nilson strikes up a small conversation with Mr. Tandram, which entails merely scientific inside informations about the tree. We see that since Mr. Nilson can non depict the beauty of nature in abstract words, but alternatively he must trust on facts to depict the tree. He is ever believing about concern and affecting himself with facts, merely like when he was chew overing on the monetary value of Tintos. When Mr. Nilson sees a C transcript of himself in Mr. Tandram, he thinks to himself, how foolish he must ve looked staring and smiling at the tree, and Mr. Nilson fears this because it is something unknown and a new experience for him. The reader of The Nipponese Quince should recognize that the feeling of emptiness, is caused by losing spontaneousness. At the terminal when Mr. Nilson hears the sound of a cough from Mr. Tandram, he gets disquieted, but doesn Ts know why. This is likely because Mr. Nilson enjoyed his amble through the park. However now he is reluctantly forced to travel back to the mechanical life of a man of affairs.


A bike helmet concept fo the Circular Economy.
CHB_01 is allowing the user to renew the bike helmet after a crash without throwing away the whole product. Instead, the safety-relevant elements get replaced.
CHB_01 uses a modular system in which each component is dedicated to its primary function. The Modular System allows replacing broken parts, like the foam core after a crash or a certain amount of time due to the degradation through UV-rays. Additionally, this enables upgrades of functionality, through different components, in the future.
Thanks to the modular system of the CBH_01 the helmet can be easily split into single type materials. This allows a streamlined recycling process. Furthermore, the reuse of materials reduces the environmental impact by replacing individual pieces instead of buying a new helmet. In addition, new material innovations allow CBH_01 even more eco-friendly.
Besides the lower environmental impact and the cost saving benefits, modularity also allows for mass customisation. Every user will be able to create his or her very own colour theme. Thereby the consumer builds a more profound emotional bond with CBH_01 which will lead to a higher acceptance of bike helmets.

According to MuckRock data, perceived ethnicity does not impact public records response times - with one exception
Analysis of over 45,000 requests found that, by and large, requesters with names predicted to be Hispanic had FOIAs filled more quickly
Over the years, a number of requesters, researchers, and members of the public have asked whether we think who the requester is impacts how requests are handled. Under the law, every requester should be treated the same, but we've seen a number of cases where different requesters get different answers (and prices, and response times) for largely identical requests.
So we decided to analyze our data to see if one factor - predicted ethnicity based on name - swayed how requests were handled.
First, some important caveats.
Predicting ethnicity and race by name is an infamously flawed and inexact exercise; a number of users we know personally, for example, were matched incorrectly. That means the data is not a good breakdown of who actually makes up our user base.
But since we're mostly interested in how the requester's ethnicity and race are perceived by the public records officer, rather than what they actually are, we don't need to have correct data, just data that matches the perceptions of the people processing the request.
Second, MuckRock's users are self selecting. While we represent a broad swath of requesters (with over 18,000 registered accounts), MuckRock tends to draw some communities - such as activists, reporters, and researchers - more than others. Having a more limited sample of records requesters might mean that a smaller subset of users who happen to write better requests, or file requests with speedier agencies, might skew the data. We go into some of those possible considerations later, and welcome other researchers who want to explore the data with other hypotheses in mind.
Those caveats aside, we found some broad reassuring consistency across how quickly requests were responded to, with one surprising exception. But first, a look at MuckRock's pool of requesters.
Who appears to be filing FOIA requests?
So, what are we looking at here? For starters, we pulled FOIA data from the MuckRock API and joined it with the user's account information. User's names, as provided, were analyzed using the ethnicolr Python package to predict users' race/ethnicity. These counts represent the predicted race/ethnicity, not a reported one.
As of July 12th, 2018, MuckRock had facilitated 46,068 FOIA requests by filers likely to be perceived as white based on their names. That number compares to 1,964 likely Hispanic filers, 1,302 filers from Asian or Pacific Islander descent, and just 257 filers likely to be perceived as black.
Predicted race Count of FOIA requests through MuckRock
Asian or Pacific Islander 1,302
black 257
Hispanic 1,964
white 46,068
See full table here.
Are there differences in response rates based on perceived race/ethnicity?
Sort of, but there is a lot of uncertainty around this.
Take the following graph for example. (Find more survival curves here.)
What can be seen here is that white is essentially the same as the overall estimate. That is expected given the sizes of each group.
Predicted race Count done Percent done
Asian or Pacific Islander 382 40.86
black 74 35.58
Hispanic 717 61.92
white 14,927 43.94
The "black" group here is relatively small at just 74 FOIA requests. That's reflected in the wide uncertainty and jagged form of the graph – twenty completed requests could account for the abrupt drop in the purple line around 1,300 days. Twenty requests getting marked as done in the "white" group wouldn't make a noticeable difference in the green curve.
However, the Hispanic and Asian or Pacific Islander groups have more similarly shaped curves and more comparable n-sizes. These two curves are distinct with reasonable confidence. In other words, it appears that perceived race/ethnicity may impact the time it takes for a response to reach the "done" status. More specifically, the analysis showed that having a likely Hispanic name is correlated with faster time to "done" state.
Pairwise logrank tests results:
PredictedRace_A PredictedRace_B significance_code p_value
api black 0.437883
api hispanic *** 0.000000
api white 0.194233
black hispanic *** 0.000005
black white 0.163292
hispanic white *** 0.000000
Something that we have not yet sorted out is the possibility of location as a confounding variable in the predicted race analysis. One hypothesis is that the Hispanic group has a higher percentage of FOIA requests filed with agencies that more strictly enforce response timelines, thus resulting in the group having generally faster responses. If so, predicted race could simply be functioning as a proxy variable for request location and jurisdiction. Further assessment is needed to rule that scenario out.
Are there differences in response rates based on jurisdiction level (federal, state, or local)?
Yes. The survival curves below show that FOIA requests at the state level are generally much quicker to get done.
To further clarify, the curves show that the median time for a state-level FOIA request to reach the "done" was 527 days. That's compared to 1,490 days for the federal level and 1,188 days for the local level.
Limitations and thoughts on further analysis
As noted previously, there are a number of caveats to understanding this data. Other factors that could be impacting outcomes include:
 - The analysis doesn't account for the contents of the FOIA request.
 - This analysis doesn't take into account variance in confidence of name predictions. For example, if a name is predicted to be 42% likely to be Hispanic and 43% likely to be Asian, it would be classified as Asian in the survival analysis. This could be taken into account, but would require a more complicated analysis.
 - There are a few people that appear to use fake names or names of a company/group rather than a human name. These are relatively rare.
 - It would be worth further study to see if controlling for the jurisdiction or agency receiving the request impacts the predictive analysis.
For this study, FOIA and user data was most recently pulled on July 12th, 2018. Agency and jurisdiction data was most recently pulled on August 22nd, 2018.

Louisiana has the second largest wage gap in the country.
The latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau show the typical woman working full time, year round in Louisiana was paid only 69 cents for every dollar paid to her male counterpart.
"Louisiana is second only to Wyoming in terms of having the worst wage gap," says Liz Watson, with the National Women's Law Center.
"In Louisiana, the average wage for men is fairly decent at $46-thousand, where you see the average wage for women at $31-thousand."
Watson says that indicates that there are good jobs to be had in Louisiana, but women aren't getting them.
She says occupational choices, and difference in work experience can explain some of that. But about 40 percent is unexplained, meaning it's likely plain old discrimination.
"Women are, probably, predominantly going into much lower-paying jobs than men are going into," Watson says. "Discrimination plays a role and time out of the workplace plays a role."
"The wage gap in Louisiana is much greater than the average gap across the rest of the country," says Watson. "Well below the national average of 77 cents."
Wyoming had the largest wage gap at 66.6 cents. The other eight states with the largest wage gaps were Utah, West Virginia, North Dakota, Mississippi, Michigan, Alabama, Montana, and Idaho.
Washington, D.C., had the smallest wage gap at 90.4 cents. The nine other states with the smallest wage gaps were: Vermont, Maryland, California, Nevada, Rhode Island, Arizona, New York, Florida, and Arkansas.
Louisiana was also among the 10 states with the highest percentages of women aged 18-64 without health insurance coverage. 24.3% of women in Louisiana did not have insurance coverage, which is higher than the overall national rate of uninsured women 19.6%.


What is the difference between cake flour and all purpose
Can you substitute cake flour for all purpose flour?
To substitute cake flour for all – purpose flour, the most accurate way to do it is to pull out the kitchen scale and substitute it ounce for ounce. All – purpose flour weighs about 4.5 ounces per cup while cake flour weights about 4 ounces per cup.
Does cake flour make a difference?
It has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour, and it is finer, lighter, and softer. It's also bleached, so the color is paler and the grain is less dense. Because of the lower protein content, cake flour produces less gluten. I could not get over the difference it made in that cake.
What can I use if I dont have cake flour?
Making a cake flour substitute is easy with the following two ingredients: all-purpose flour and either cornstarch or arrowroot powder. Start with one level cup of AP flour, remove two tablespoons of the flour, and add two tablespoons of cornstarch or arrowroot powder back in.
What is the purpose of cake flour?
It helps to add structure to our cakes. The lower protein content of cake flour ensures that our cake layers have structure and a soft and light (not tough) texture. Cake flour is especially important in chiffon or Angel Food Cake.
What is the best flour for baking?
Types of Flour Best For Baking All-Purpose Flour. Self-Rising Flour. Bread Flour. Cake Flour This is a soft wheat flour that is low in protein and gluten which results in a soft white fine textured crumb perfect for cakes. Whole Wheat Flour. Unbleached vs.

Can I use cake flour to make cookies?
One option for softer, more delicate cookies is substituting cake flour for all-purpose flour. Cake flour has less protein than all-purpose flour, so it does create more delicate textures. You can use it, but it might make some cookies a little crumbly since it doesn't give as much structure as the all-purpose.
Do you need baking powder with cake flour?
Most cake flour does not contain a rising agent, so you will still need to combine it with a leavening ingredient like baking powder or baking soda, but you may see a brand or two that does advertise self rising cake flour, which is also okay.
Can you use plain flour to make cakes?
Can I make my own cake flour?
Instructions Start with 1 cup all-purpose flour. Remove 2 Tablespoons (16g) so you have 14 Tablespoons total. Add cornstarch to the 14 Tablespoons of flour. Sift together TWICE. Measure (spoon & level) 1 cup from this mixture. Now you have 1 cup of cake flour that you can use in any recipes requiring cake flour.
How do I convert all purpose flour to self rising flour?
For each cup of all – purpose flour, you will need 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Whisk the all – purpose flour, baking powder and salt together until combined, then use as directed in the recipe in place of the self – rising flour.

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

Ceph Grunt Commander units are a variations of Ceph Grunts that appear in Crysis 2.
Ceph Combat Command Units are very similar to the Stalker Commanders. Both have dark, red-colored flesh resembling jelly underneath their armored exoskeletons. The Grunt and Stalker Commanders also have red-colored shields that activate when the player's presence is discovered. Upon death, Ceph Grunt Commanders will drop 300 Nano Catalyst. They also have slightly different helmets, displaying their eyes more as slits rather than a standard grunts more circular eyes.
The main differences between Grunt and Stalker Commanders are that they command different units and wield different weapons. The Grunt Commanders are in control of a squad of Grunts and have a pulse rifle attached to their arm, as opposed to the blade of the Stalker Commanders. Once a battle starts, the Grunt Commander will activate its shield, which emits a red glow. Once enough damage is dealt to the Grunt Commander, its shield will dissipate and the Grunt Commander becomes as vulnerable as the Grunts that serve underneath them.

The Lena river
The Lena is one of the ten greatest rivers on the planet. Beginning in the mountains of the Baikal range the Lena flows 4400 kilometers to the Arctic Ocean. The river-bed spans as much as 15 kilometers in its middle reaches, while in the lower reaches it spans as much as 25 kilometers. The size of the Lena delta is mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records. Some of the Lena's tributaries, such as the Vitim, the Olyokma, the Aldan, and the Vilyuy, are longer than some of the greatest rivers in Europe.
The river is bounded in ice for seven months. The ice crust gets more than a meter thick. The Lena opens up in the second half of May.
There are no dams, weirs, or hydroelectric stations on the river. The Lena flows as it did ages ago. One can still draw potable water strait from the river. Amazing landscapes, Lenskie Shyeky (where walls of rock squeeze the river), rich flora and fauna, and unique and ancient culture, could all impress even an experienced traveler.

TLDR; When used inside of a filter context, CALCULATE performs context transition, transforming the current row context into a filter context. We explore how context transition conditions the output of calculated columns in tables, and how measures and relationships interact with it.
So far in our Evaluation Contexts in DAX series we have learned about the row and filter contexts, how these affect the output of our DAX code, and how they interact with different types of relationships between tables in our data model. In this third and final part of this series, we learn about how
CALCULATE performs Context Transition when used inside of a filter context.
What happens when we don't use
Let's revisit once more our example with a data model containing data on the sales of certain products from a store. The two tables we will be using are the Product table, containing details on the products available in the store, and the Sales table, containing details on the sales made.
Let's see what happens when Context Transition doesn't happen.
The following DAX formula will display the sum of all the unit prices in the Product table visible in the current filter context.
Total Unit Price = SUM ( 'Product'[Unit Price] )
One easy mistake to make is to expect the Total Unit Price column to be equal to the Unit Price column. It is true that when we create a calculated column in a table, there is an automatic row context for the product table. However, what
SUM does is aggregate all the values in the current filter context and display their sum. Because the filter context is empty, no filters are being applied to the table The Total Unit Price calculated column returns the sum of all cells in the Unit Price column, showing the same value in all cells of the column.
How CALCULATE introduces Context Transition
CALCULATE performs context transition, meaning it transforms the row context into a filter context.
CALCULATE is used inside of a row context, like in a calculated column, it turns the current row context into a filter context, deleting the current row context. Anything inside of
CALCULATE will be computed in a filter context containing only one row. Let's see how this works.
Let's create a new calculated column like before, except this time we will wrap our
SUM inside of
Total Unit Price CALCULATE = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Product'[Unit Price] ) )
Note that the output of our new calculated column using
CALCULATE is identical to the Unit Price column. This is because as the row context iterates through the rows of the table, that row context becomes a filter context. As we have seen before,
SUM aggregates all the values in the current filter context and sums them. This time, the filter context contains only one row at a time, so the sum will be the value itself.
CALCULATE and Measures
One important thing to understand about measures is that they are automatically surrounded by
CALCULATE. In our previous example this would mean that if we created a calculated column where Total Unit Price is a measure, this column would yield the same result as our Total Unit Price
In order to see this in action, let's first create a measure that calculates the sum of the Unit Price column in the Product table.
Total_Unit_Price = SUM ('Product'[Unit Price] )
This is the same formula as in the Total Unit Price calculated column we had before, only this is a measure now.
Now, we create a calculated column from this measure.
Total Unit Price Measure = 'Product'[Total_Unit_Price]
We see how the new calculated column is identical to the one computed using
CALCULATE (and to the original Unit Price column, for that matter), because
CALCULATE is implied when a measure is used inside of a calculated column.
Context Transition and Table Relationships
In our last post, we explained how different types of relationships between tables in the data model affect the output of our DAX code. So how does context transition interact with relationships? The answer is just as you would expect.
Here's a little reminder of how evaluation contexts propagate through relationships:
- Row contexts never propagate through relationships.
- Filter contexts do propagate through relationships, but only from the one side to the many side of the relationship.
In our data model, the Product table is on the many side of a one-to-many relationship with the Sales table. This means the only the filter context is propagated from the Product to the Sales table.
Our aim is to investigate whether context transition happens between tables.
In the Product table, let's add a column that computes the sum of the Sales Amount in the Sales table.
Total Sales Amount = SUM ( Sales[Sales Amount] )
This will give the sum of all rows in the Sales Amount column visible in the current filter context. We know also that the row context does not propagate through relationships. So, because the filter context is currently empty, all the cells in the new calculated column will display the same value – the sum of all the rows in the Sales Amount column.
Just like we did before, let's surround our formula with
CALCULATE. We now create a new calculated column with the following formula:
Total Sales Amount CALCULATE = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Sales Amount] ) )
And, yes, you guessed it.
CALCULATE performs context transition between relationships as well. Why is that? Because filter contexts propagate through relationships, from the one side to the many side. Here, every time
CALCULATE iterates through the row context in the Product table, this row context is transformed into a filter context, which is then propagated onto the Sales table. The Sales table is then only going to show the rows corresponding to the one row visible at that point in the Product table. All the cells visible in that filter context in the Sales Amount column are added and the result shows in the Product table.
Context Transition is a powerful feature of
CALCULATE, but it can create confusion sometimes. The two main things to remember are:
- When used inside of a row context,
CALCULATEwill transform that row context into a filter context.
- Measures are automatically surrounded by
After that, knowing the rules about how filter contexts work and propagate through relationships, it becomes easier to understand and predict the result of our DAX code.

Lighting Designer: Fixture Targeting
A light fixture is frequently focused on a subject, whether that's a person, or an object. Just as frequently, the fixture or the subject has to move, meaning that the fixture is no longer focused correctly. Also, users needed to know which fixtures are focused on which subjects at a glance, and whether other objects on the plot will be affected by a light's beam.
At this point, it's just me with Lighting Designer. I'm the designer and developer, and also the beta tester.
This is actually a feature that doesn't exist in many plotting apps. Most take a "drafting" approach, in which fixtures are placed and rotated, but don't interact much with what's around them. One of the cornerstones of the Lighting Designer UX is that the plot is not a flat, static document; it's a living thing that should encourage interaction and flexibility.
Typically, plots get crowded, especially for studio settings. It's hundreds of light fixtures all nestled together, each threading the needle to illuminate what it's supposed to. So the user's most difficult task is knowing which fixtures are focused on which subjects. Also, a subject can have 30 lights focused on them; so if they move, all of those fixtures are now unfocused. Users needed a way to make those adjustments automatically. They also want to know how these movements affect the light hitting the subject.
The solution was a function called targeting. A light fixture's aim is controlled by dragging a crosshairs around the plot, and if the crosshairs are released on another plot object, the selected fixture is now targeting that object. If the fixture is moved, it automatically adjusts its rotation to point at its target; if the target moves, the targeting fixture rotates to follow it.
The other part of the solution was exposure calculation. This has been a big request from users for a long time, and this was absolutely the time to do it. Our third-party database partner supplied candela and beam angle values for its fixtures, and I built a table so users could enter their own values, or calculate them from light meter readings. Using that data, I could display the fixture's beam on the plot, and also determine its brightness when it hits its target subject.
Candela is the unit for the amount of light emitted in one direction, so to find the brightness on the subject I convert that to foot-candles, which is a measurement of the amount of light hitting an object:
To convert foot-candles to lux (which is a common European unit of brightness), I simply multiply the foot-candles by the constant 10.76391, because foot-candles and lux are just like feet and meters; two ways of measuring the same thing. If I wanted to calculate brightness in terms of f-stop, for a camera, I would use the formula:
F-stop is actually the denominator of a fraction; when 1 is the numerator, that ratio represents the focal length of the lens (e.g. 50mm) to the diameter of the lens aperture. (This is why a smaller f-stop actually means a wider aperture.) Although this mathematical f-stop can be expressed as a floating-decimal value, in practice it's usually assigned as a standard f-stop number and an adjustment of 0.1 to 0.9, as displayed on a light meter. The time and ISO values may also be adjusted to achieve certain effects, and the user can get a sense of what they'll need to light for those adjustments.
This was fairly easy to implement on the engineering side, but it still left the problem of knowing which fixtures were targeting which subjects. After some test usage, I came up with the idea of pointers: an arrow from the targeting fixture to its target. The user can decide whether it appears only when one of the objects is selected, or when the plot is rendered, or always. They can also choose to display certain identifying information about the targeting fixture, such as its purpose, distance, calculated brightness, and channel (a unique ID number that's very useful in lighting practice).
In addition, I allowed the user to set their own "mid tone," which is their ideal exposure, in foot-candles, lux, or f-stop. For instance, if they were designing for a film, they'd set their mid tone to the camera's f-stop. That way I can have the fixture's beam stop when it reaches that mid tone, giving the user a helpful hint about whether they need to dim the fixture, spot the lens, or switch it for a more powerful one. In addition, the pointer label shows how many foot-candles, lux, or f-stops over or under the mid-tone each fixture's brightness is, giving the user even more information to make informed decisions ahead of time.
What I Learned
I got a lot of compliments for these features; users loved being able to see instantly which fixtures were targeting which subjects. They also really appreciated the exposure calculation; it can never be 100% accurate because of things like dirty lenses and electrical fluctuations, but it provides excellent approximations so they can make decisions beforehand. These improvements allowed them to move more quickly on set and make their plot a living part of their workflow, rather than just a passive reference, which is a large part of the Lighting Designer brand and mission.

Context Class
Namespace: System.Runtime.Remoting.Contexts
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public class Context
A context is an ordered sequence of properties that define an environment for the objects resident inside it. Contexts get created during the activation process for objects that are configured to require certain automatic services, such as synchronization, transactions, just-in-time activation, security, and so on. Multiple objects can live inside a context.
Classes are marked with an instance of the ContextAttribute class, which provides the usage rules. Whenever a new object is instantiated, the.NET Framework finds a compatible or creates a new instance of the Context class for the object. Once an object is placed in a context, it stays in it for life. Classes that can be bound to a context are called context-bound classes. When accessed from another context, such classes are referenced directly by using a proxy. Any call from an object in one context to an object in another context will go through a context proxy and be affected by the policy that the combined context properties enforce.
A new object's context is generally chosen based on meta-data attributes on the class. This mechanism is extensible through custom attributes. These are known as static-context properties, which are compiled into the class meta-data. Dynamic-context properties (also known as configuration properties) can be applied and configured by administrators.

Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
St. John's Anglican Church National Historic Site of Canada is a large, white wooden Carpenter Gothic style church in the heart of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Regarded as an important symbol of the town, it has continually evolved over a period of some two hundred and fifty years and, most recently, was rehabilitated after a disastrous fire in 2001. Official recognition refers to the church on its legal lot.
St. John's Anglican Church was designated a national historic site of Canada in 1994 because of:
- its contribution to the establishment of British authority and the Church of England in 18th-century Nova Scotia, through the continuity of its role within the Anglican church and through the evolutionary nature of its building;
- it is a noteworthy illustration of the Carpenter Gothic style which makes it a distinctive example of the Gothic Revival style in Canadian church architecture;
- the building is an important anchor, symbolically and physically, in the town plan of Lunenburg.
The heritage value of this site resides in its associations with the history of Nova Scotia and the town of Lunenburg, and in its architecture. These values are expressed in the setting and location of the church and those elements of its design, as well as the physical elements that survived the fire of 2001. St. John's Anglican Church was originally constructed _PHONE_, enlarged in 1840 and through the 1870s, and again in 1889. After a disastrous fire in 2001, the structure was rebuilt from the surviving ruins.
Sources: Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, Minute, June 1994; Assessment of Surviving Values, June 2001.
Key elements contributing to the heritage character of this site include:
- its location on one of the four town blocks set aside for public use;
- the open landscaping with lawns, paths, benches and a memorial to the first outdoor religious service held on site;
- the church as the visual anchor in its immediate setting, ensured by the restrained scale of surrounding buildings;
- use of Carpenter Gothic style design elements, such as basilica plan with side aisles and chancel under a steep gable roof, entry façade with a rose window and twin towers, Gothic Revival detailing including pinnacles, turrets, false buttresses, pointed arches, drip mouldings, and wood shingle cladding;
- the foundations and ground floor traces of various construction phases;

Unfortunately _USER_/_USER_'s answer is incorrect. (_USER_'s maybe too, but the wording is hard to parse.)
Suppose you have a class
a.b.C and you arrange that the same class gets loaded by two different classloaders. According to the specifications, you will end up with two distinct
Class objects with the fully qualified name
a.b.C, and from the type system perspective two distinct types. Each of the types will have a different set of static variables.
The primary reference for this is JLS 4.3.4 - paragraphs 2 and 3.
You can infer that each reference type that is distinct (at runtime) will have a distinct set of statics from JLS 4.12.3, JLS 126.96.36.199, JLS 12.4, and other parts of the language spec.
So basically, will the following statement always be true:
In general it won't.
It will always be true in some cases, depending on how
myField. For instance, if the field is initialized to a literal String, then it will.
(The trick to observing this is to arrange that
MyClass is actually loaded by the two classloaders
B, and not by a common ancestor classloader.)

Turning plastic into foam to combat pollution
Researchers have developed a method to turn biodegradable plastic knives, spoons, and forks into a foam that can be used as insulation in walls or in flotation devices. The investigators placed the cutlery into a chamber filled with carbon dioxide. As pressure increased, the gas dissolved into the plastic. When they suddenly released the pressure in the chamber, the carbon dioxide expanded within the plastic, creating foaming.

Proposal #3456: Add FilePath -> String decoder
Johan Tibell johan.tibell at
Wed Aug 26 04:38:30 EDT 2009
Hi Judah,
A few comments:
- I would spell 'filePathToString' as just 'toString' and use the
module system to provide a namespace (i.e. stick it in
- A function that takes the encoding as a parameter instead of
fetching it from the current locale seems more useful. However,
creating such a function is a bit problematic since passing an
explicit encoding doesn't really make sense on Windows where a path is
already represented as Unicode. Perhaps the only solution is to have
System.FilePath.Posix.toString and System.FilePath.Windows.toString
with different type signatures.
- As long as FilePath is just a type synonym the function is unsafe as
it's equivalent to decodeWithCurrentLocale :: String -> IO String
which fails if the argument string is actually used to store Unicode
data (rather than bytes stored as code points < 256). This is probably
intentional but it might be worth mentioning it in the Haddock

Han Dynasty Female Court Attendant
An elegant Chinese Han Dynasty hollow-moulded terracotta statue of a female court attendant, portrayed in a kneeling position and designed with typical Han Dynasty slender form. The figure is presented wearing the traditional Eastern Han Dynasty court attire, known as shenyi, consisting of a long vest, tied to the waist and long, flaring sleeves, here revealing bright orange and ochre undergarment. The hair of the court attendant is arranged in long, low ponytail down below the shoulders. Facial features, such as eyes and eyebrows, are rendered through a delicate black paint, while the lips are painted in bright red. The original white, orange and dark pigments would have been applied to the figure after firing, with the result that the paint would have been more prone to flaking.
N.B. This item will require additional postage charges after checkout due to weight and size. The price listed is for the pair.
Date: Circa 206 BC- 220 AD
Period: Han Dynasty
Condition: Extremely fine, with original pigmentation visible to the surface.
In stock
In Ancient China, terracotta unglazed and low-fired glazed statuettes of animals and human figures, known in Chinese as mingqi, would have been placed in the deceased's tomb to ensure companionship and service in the afterlife. Mingqi were usually modelled as an intimation of either common objects that once played a vital role in Han Dynasty domestic life, or as zoomorphic and anthropomorphic figures that were closely related to the deceased when they were alive. Terracotta figures of court attendants, such as this fine example, were made for the service and entertainment of the owner, ensuring that their journey in the underworld was a happy one.

The Free & Open Software Radio Ecosystem
QT Graphical User Interface
This is the gr-qtgui package. It contains various QT-based graphical user interface blocks that add graphical sinks to a GNU Radio flowgraph. The Python namespaces is in gnuradio.qtgui, which would be normally imported as:
from gnuradio import qtgui
See the Doxygen documentation for details about the blocks available in this package. The relevant blocks are listed in the QT Graphical Interfaces group.
A quick listing of the details can be found in Python after importing by using:
There are a number of available QTGUI blocks for different plotting purposes. These include:
The time domain, frequency domain, and waterfall have both a complex and a floating point block. The constellation plot only makes sense with complex inputs. The time raster plots accept bits and floats.
Because the time raster plots are designed to show structure over time in a signal, frame, packet, etc., they never drop samples. This is a
fairly taxing job and performance can be an issue. Since it is expected that this block will work on a frame or packet structure, we tend to be at the lowest possible rate at this point, so that will help. Expect performance issues at high data rates.
Note: There seem to be extra performance issue with the raster plotters in QWT version 5 that were fixed with QWT version 6. As such, the time raster plots have incredibly poor performance with QWT5 to the point of almost being unusable. In the future, we may restrict compilation and installation of these plots only if QWT6 or higher is discovered. For now, just be aware of this limitation.
Drop-Down Menu and Interacting with Plots
All QTGUI sinks have interactive capabilities.
 - Zooming is done simply by clicking the left mouse button and dragging a rectangle around the area to zoom.
 - Zooming can be done in multiple steps.
 - A right mouse click will zoom out one step.
 - Ctrl+Right mouse click will zoom all the way out.
 - Ctrl+Middle mouse click and hold can drag the canvas around.
 - Mouse wheel up/down will zoom out/in on y axis (both axes in constellation plot).
 - Middle mouse button brings up a context menu.
Each type of graph has a different set of menu items in the context menu. Most have some way to change the appearance of the lines or surfaces, such as changing the line width color, marker, and transparency. Other common features can set the sampling rate, turn a grid on an off, pause and unpause (stop/start) the display update, and save the current figure. Specific feature are things like setting the number of points to display, setting the FFT size, FFT window, and any FFT averaging.
Triggering Menu for Time Plots
The time plots have triggering capabilities. Triggering can happen when the signal of a specific channel crosses (positive or negative slope) a certain level threshold. Or triggering can be done off a specific stream tag such that whenever a tag of a given key is found, the scope will trigger.
In the signal level mode, the trigger can be either 'auto' or 'normal' where the latter will only trigger when the even is seen. The 'auto' mode will trigger on the event or every so often even if no trigger is found. The 'free' mode ignores ignores triggering and continuously plots.
By default, the triggers plot the triggering event at the x=0 (i.e., the left-most point in the plot). A delay can be set to delay the signal along the x-axis to observe any signal before the triggering event. The delay feature works the same for both level and tag triggers. The delay is set according to time in seconds, not samples. So the delay can be calculated as the number of samples divided by the sample rate given to the block.
All trigger settings (mode, slope, level, delay, channel, and tag key) are settable in the GRC properties boxes to easily set up a repeatable environment.
A note on the trigger delay setting. This value is limited by the buffer size and/or the number of points being display. It is capped by the minimum of these two values. The buffer size issue is generally only a problem when plotting a large number of samples. However, if the delay is set large to begin with (in the GRC properties box or before top_block.start() is called), then the buffers are resized accordingly offering more freedom. This should be a problem in a limited number of scenarios, but a log INFO level message is produced when asking for the delay outside of the available range.
The QT GUI blocks require the following dependencies.
 - QtCore (version >= 4.4)
 - QtGui (version >= 4.4)
 - QtOpenGL (version >= 4.4)
 - PyQt4 for Qt4 (version >= 4.4)
 - Qwt (version >= 5.2)
To use the qtgui interface, a bit of boiler-plate lines must be included. First, the sink is defined, then it must be exposed from C++ into Python using the "sip.wrapinstance" command, and finally, the "show" method is run on the new Python object. This sets up the QT environment to show the widget, but the qApplication must also be launched.
In the "main" function of the code, the qApp is retrieved. Then, after the GNU Radio top block is started (remember that start() is a non-blocking call to launch the main thread of the flowgraph), the qapp's "exec_()" function is called. This function is a blocking call while the GUI is alive.
from PyQt4 import Qt
from gnuradio import qtgui
import sys, sip
class grclass(gr.top_block):
self.snk = qtgui.sink_c(1024, _TAG_
samp_rate, _TAG_
"QT GUI Plot") _TAG_
self.snk_win = sip.wrapinstance(self.snk.pyqwidget(), Qt.QWidget)
def main():
qapp = Qt.QApplication(sys.argv)
tb = grclass()
There are graphical controls in all but the combined plotting tools. In the margins of the GUIs (that is, not on the canvas showing the signal itself), right-clicking the mouse will pull up a drop-down menu that will allow you to change difference parameters of the plots. These include things like the look of the lines (width, color, style, markers, etc.), the ability to start and stop the display, the ability to save to a file, and other plot-specific controls (FFT size for the frequency and waterfall plots, etc.).
There is currently a single configuration option in the preferences files to set the rendering engine of the QTGUI sinks. Located in etc/gnuradio/conf.d/gr-qtgui.conf:
style = raster
The available styles are:
 - opengl: the fastest but not likely to always work
 - raster: fast and stable; terrible X forwarding performance
 - native: most compute intensive; very good over X
We default this setting to raster for the mix of performance and usability. When using QTGUI sinks through an X-forwarding session over SSH, switch to using 'native' for a significant speed boost on the remote end.
We can also set a QT Style Sheet (QSS) file to adjust the look of our plotting tools. Set the 'qss' option of the 'qtgui' section in our configuration file to a QSS file. An example QSS file is distributed with the QTGUI examples found in share/gnuradio/examples/qt-gui/dark.qss.

An incumbent is limit pricing if it produces more than its optimal quantity, so that there is not sufficient demand for a potential entrant. The lowest price that it sets is the "limit price" that excludes a profitable entry.
A numerical example (based on ) illustrates how the profits of both the incumbent and the entrant change with and without limit pricing, for various fixed costs common to both firms. Initially, in the absence of entrant, the incumbent is a monopolist and maximizes its profit (green rectangle). The entrant estimates the residual demand, optimizes its production level, and makes profit (blue rectangle), affecting the profits of the incumbent. To avoid entry, the incumbent must increase its production so that the entrant cannot make profits if it enters. In order to succeed with that, it needs to equate the slope of the residual demand with the slope of average costs. Notice that there are scale economies (decreasing average costs). Consequently, the incumbent's profit is reduced to the gray rectangle while the profits of entrant are zero. Finally, if the entrant exits due to the limit price, the incumbent makes a higher profit (yellow rectangle).


APS Provides Recommendations to NIH Initiative Combatting Structural Racism
Response urges greater funding, research support for underrepresented scientists
APS has responded to a request for information from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) regarding NIH's new initiative focused on dismantling structural racism in science. The initiative, called UNITE, aims to understand and address racism in the broader scientific community and more specifically in NIH-supported work and within NIH. APS's comments, informed by psychological science, affirm the value of improving inclusivity and diversity in science.
APS's recommendations to NIH observe that future efforts to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion should be based on the best scientific evidence. Specifically, psychological science provides a better understanding of many factors, such as implicit and unconscious bias, social processes, and workplace dynamics, which are central to efforts to advancing equity and inclusion. APS recommends that NIH increase funding of behavioral science to inform these issues and develop the knowledge necessary to deliver scientifically backed interventions. Through meetings and workshops, NIH can bring researchers from historically underrepresented groups including psychological scientists, historians of science, ethicists, and philosophers of science together to facilitate integrative solutions-oriented conversations.
In its comments, APS draws on recent scientific publications, including a 2020 Perspectives on Psychological Science article which notes the systemic inequities in peer review. Lack of diversity in journal editors, authors, and even in research participants contributes to continued systemic inequities in scientific publishing. This has a profound influence on the careers of underrepresented scientists' careers and research. More, scientists tackling this issue from psychological science and other allied fields are resource-limited and face underfunding. NIH can directly address this issue providing funds and research support to these areas of study. APS also notes that NIH should do more to fund scientific areas of interest to underrepresented scientists.
APS suggests that NIH work with scientific societies and professional associations that publish academic journals, host scholarly meetings, and engage in public outreach to better provide mentoring and opportunities to current and future scientists.
The full letter containing APS's recommendations to the NIH UNITE initiative can be found here.

Analysis of effectiveness for a stirling machine regenerator
Jo, Gwan-Sik; Lee, Dae-Yeong; No, Seung-Tak;
 PDF(new window)
The effectiveness of the regenerator pertaining to Stirling cycle machines is studied by analyzing the heat transfer characteristics of the oscillating flow in a tube, and a new consistent definition of the regenerator effectiveness can be expressed by the ratio of the heat transfer in axial direction (Qaxial/) to that in transverse direction (Q/su w/), and its approximate form is obtained as a function of Nusselt number for practical utility. Since an approximate value of the ratio Qaxial//Qsub w/ can be expressed in terms of the time-averaged rather than transient temperatures, this expression is useful to estimate the heat transfer coefficient in the Stirling machine regenerator experimentally.

FOLK 543 640 Ethnographic Writing
J. Theophano
Seminar: Monday 6:00 - 8:40 p.m.
Cross-listed with: ANTH 543
Ethnographic research has brought anthropologists and folklorist, sociologists and oral historians face to face with some compelling challenges as they describe specific social and cultural groups to a variety of audiences: insiders and outsiders, academics and lay audiences. Attempting to be both scientific and humanistic, ethnography has been accused of being neither. How can ethnographer's best understand their impact on the groups they study, and the impact of their research on their own identity? How can ethnographers balance their personal agendas (related for example to political and ideological goals, particularly Feminism and anti-imperialism) with an academic quest to produce "scientific," well-supported research? And how have ethnographers experimented with style and genre to break the chains of traditional ethnographic writing and better represent their experience in the field.
