Polarization and bipolar strain hysteresis (P-E and S-E) measurements were performed simultaneously during fatigue tests performed under ac fields with a triangular wave form. Rhombohedral (1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb 2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (PZN-PT) piezo/ferroelectric single crystals demonstrate a wide variety of anisotropic behavior under bipolar electrical switching. Specifically, PZN-4.5 PT crystals demonstrate exceptional polarization switching fatigue resistance along C (-c; pseudocubic), as opposed to normal fatigue in C directions. This system provides an excellent opportunity to study fatigue induced effects in C orientation in comparison with C. Studies in bulk ferroelectric ceramics have reported fatigue-associated strain hysteresis asymmetry. In this study, the evolution of bipolar strain loops was studied in both "fatiguing" C and "fatigue-free" C orientations. It was found that C oriented PZN-4.5 PT crystals show the onset of a strain-field asymmetry displayed by shortage of one wing of the butterfly, which becomes more evident as cycling continues. In contrast, C crystals show symmetrical strain-field curves throughout cycling. S-E hysteresis data obtained from different points in a fatigued crystal by gently moving it between the consecutive measurements show that the shorter wing switches side indicating the local character of fatigue. In comparison to the findings in polycrystalline ceramics this observation in a single crystal ferroelectric will be helpful for a better understanding of fatigue and related effects. Rejuvenation studies in fatigued crystals are also reported in this paper.

Delivering professional 3D navigation and advanced ergonomic design, SpaceMouse® models are the optimal tool for engineers, designers and architects to create 3D designs across a variety of industries.
Improving ergonomics and efficiency at your workplace
A 'normal' computer mouse is an important part of any CAD workstation. It is light, compact and easy to operate. However, it poses one major disadvantage from an ergonomic point of view, in that you always have to operate it using the same hand. When a mouse is used intensively with repetitive patterns of movement, this can result in pain and functional impairments, also known as RSI syndrome or 'mouse arm'.
Using a 3D mouse can prevent these symptoms while making your CAD workflow considerably more efficient and healthier. Push, pull, twist or tilt the 3Dconnexion controller cap to simply and intuitively pan, zoom and rotate your 3D drawing. This frees your other hand to simultaneously utilize a standard mouse to select, create or edit models with ease.

METHOD: Love Analysis
Method acting training submerges in the subconscious mind finding the information necessary to create a character. Drawing true emotion from past experiences, feelings and senses to convey truth. Derived from Stanislavsky's system, a psychophysical approach, and fixed with Strasberg's adaptation, a psychological approach. The actor completes emotional identification during his character building work.
The love element depicted in METHOD short film, tells the story of impossible love. Both subjects Eva and Daniel are deeply submerged in the process of creating their character. They painfully self inflict instability, in order to reflect the truth of their role. Using experiences, feelings and emotions. They allow no limits, dangerously putting their physical and mental health at risk. Eventually loosing their selves to Method work. Whether they would be together or not in real life, the characters they build pursue opposite and conflicting objectives.
In the film within the film the character, Danny is obsessed with a woman who he wants to marry. This woman, Susie, the character, wants to break the relationship. Danny's motives are self -serving and obscure. While Susie's insecurities make her feel undeserving of his love and claustrophobic to his obsession. Meanwhile the actors Eva and Daniel, have fallen in love. But their love cannot be fulfilled not only because of the opposing character objective but more so the experiences, feelings and emotions they are relying on to build their characters blossom coming to the surface creating a barrier between them.

Tropical Fungus Range Expands into Northern Waters
In August 2008, an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin was found dead on the North Carolina coast, its skin cracked and ulcerated with an alarming growth of gray and white nodules.
This dolphin was confirmed as having lobomycosis, the first confirmed case in North Carolina waters of this chronic fungal skin infection.
Reports of this type of infection in both humans and dolphins are relatively common in the warmer coastal waters of South America. Cases of lobomycosis have also turned up in waters off both east and west coasts of southern Florida and the Texas Gulf Coast.
Now, however, the range of the fungus that causes the lobomycosis infection appears to be expanding northward.

Are You Purchasing Wood Pellets? What Should You Consider?
wood pellets stove fuel renewable burning
If you are going to buy wood pellets, then it is important to consider some essential things. Some people are making purchases on a random basis whereas others are paying proper attention to some vital factors. You should consider the brand of pellets as well as many other things that are playing a significant role. In the further post, you can easily read about these factors to get assistance for purchasing your buying process easier. With the help of this, you can buy the best wood pellets that burn cleanly and produce more heat.
1. Ash
You may all know the fact that various types of pellets produce different amounts of ash. It is also an important thing that should be considered while buying wood pellet. The amount of ash depends on the stuff that has been used in the manufacturing process of pellets. If the manufacturer is using the trees, bark, and sand into the process, then it may produce more ash. It can also create a lot of issues for you while emptying or cleaning the hopper.
2. Stove Adjustment
You should also consider the type of pellet stove that you are using while making purchases for the wood pellets. If you are using an expensive stove, then it will provide you good flexibility and efficiency. These expensive stoves do not burn lower grades of pellets, and it is one of the important things that you should take into account. After considering the stove adjustment, you can take your steps forward to buy wood pellets.
3. Moisture Content
The moisture content is also an important thing that you should look for while selecting the best wood pellets. Make sure the wood pellets that you are going to buy contain less moisture content. If you are still confused, then you should check whether the wood pellets have less than 6% moisture content or not. After paying attention to this factor, you can easily make your final purchases for the best wood pellets.
4. Quality
While going to buy wood pellets, you should also pay attention to its quality. In order to get an idea about the quality of the wood pellets, you can make a judgment on the basis of its appearance. If the wood pellet has the uniform length, then it is good for the stable pellet mill performance. The good quality wood pellet can be identified with its look. If the pellets are smooth and shining, then you can buy it without worrying about its quality.
5. Heat Output
Most of the people always avoid checking the heat output but is not good. You should try to focus on this factor for making final purchases. You should always buy the pellets that come with the higher heat output ratings. The heat output is mainly measured in BTU that is known as British thermal units. You can buy the best wood pellets from dkbrænde træpiller or other online sellers at reasonable rates.

What are National Blue Ribbon Schools?
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos today recognized 367 schools as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2020. The recognition is based on a school's overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups.
"Congratulations to this year's National Blue Ribbon School awardees," said Secretary DeVos. "It's a privilege to recognize the extraordinary work you do to meet students' needs and prepare them for successful careers and meaningful lives."
The coveted National Blue Ribbon Schools award affirms the hard work of educators, families, and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content. Now in its 38th year, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed almost 10,000 awards to more than 9,000 schools, with some schools winning multiple awards. Schools are eligible for nomination after five years.
The Education Department recognizes all schools in one of two performance categories, based on all student scores, student subgroup scores and graduation rates:
- Exemplary High Performing Schools – These are among their state's highest performing schools as measured by state assessments or nationally normed tests.
- Exemplary Achievement Gap Closing Schools – These are among their state's highest performing in closing achievement gaps between a school's student groups and all students.
Up to 420 schools may be nominated each year. The U.S. Education Department invites National Blue Ribbon School nominations from the top education official in all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Department of Defense Education Activity, and the Bureau of Indian Education. Private schools are nominated by the Council for American Private Education (CAPE).

Could you clarify whether qalqalah is always in a letter or whether it is only in saakinah letters?
As salaamu alaykum
Could you clarify whether qalqalah is always in a letter or whether it is only in saakinah letters? Most books say it is in saakinah letters. But if qalqalah is because of shiddah and jahr, both of which are sifaat laazimah which are ALWAYS in the letter, then isn't qalqalah also always in the letter? It may be less prominent, but it should be present if it is a sifah laazimah.
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh
The qalqalah is only present when the letter is saakin. The letter hamzah also has shiddah and jahr, but it is not to be read with a qalqalah. The mechanism of the qalqalah is such as it can only be in a saakin letter.
Some scholars add (when saakinah) the characteristic of the qalqalah is used for the group of letters which have the qalqalah.
There are those who say the qalqalah is always present (as stated in your question) but more apparent when the letter is saakin, but we and many others hold the opinion that it is only when the letter is saakin. It is not a big issue since in the end the way it is read is the same, and we should respect both opinions.

In Australia, various City Councils, including the City of Adelaide, are pursuing carbon neutrality at municipal-scale based on their operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As passenger transport is a major component of city operational GHG emissions, there is an opportunity for shared mobility services to play a role in reducing those emissions. This preliminary carbon modelling report has focussed on the GHG benefit from expanding shared mobility services in the Adelaide Local Government Area, although the results should be equally valid in other similar inner-urban precincts.
The Adelaide Shared Mobility (ASM) GHG model was constructed in Microsoft EXCEL using only publicly available data from the City of Adelaide's annual community GHG emissions reporting and the Vehicle-Kilometres-Travelled (VKT) projections published in a report titled, Carbon Neutral Adelaide - Foundation Report. Seven shared mobility services were considered with regard to their potential impact over a 20-year period on reducing operational or embodied emissions or acting as a catalyst to reduce GHG emissions including – ridehailing, carsharing, carpooling, bikesharing, ridesplitting and using autonomous vehicles.
The results of the modelling showed that the current state-wide decarbonising strategy of reducing electricity grid emissions coupled with the expected uptake of electric vehicles will have a significant impact on reducing transport GHG emissions, and to a certain degree will cannibalise the potential emission impact of shared mobility services. The combined GHG savings of the considered sharing economy mobility services was found to be less than 1% of the total Adelaide LGA transport emissions for each of the modelled years. The opportunities for shared mobility services for lowering embodied emissions or being a catalyst to reduce other GHG emissions related to the Carbon Neutral Adelaide goal were also found to be not significant.

Bailouts, Time Inconsistency, and Optimal Regulation
We develop a model in which, in order to provide managerial incentives, it is optimal to have costly bankruptcy. If benevolent governments can commit to their policies, it is optimal not to interfere with private contracts. Such policies are time inconsistent in the sense that, without commitment, governments have incentives to bail out firms by buying up the debt of distressed firms and renegotiating their contracts with managers. From an ex ante perspective, however, such bailouts are costly because they worsen incentives and thereby reduce welfare. We show that regulation in the form of limits on the debt-to-value ratio of firms mitigates the time-inconsistency problem by eliminating the incentives of governments to undertake bailouts. In terms of the cyclical properties of regulation, we show that regulation should be tightest in aggregate states in which resources lost to bankruptcy in the equilibrium without a government are largest.

Play and meaty food reduce hunting by cats
Play and meaty food reduce hunting by cats
Minnie the cat was part of the study. Credit: Lisa George
Domestic cats hunt wildlife less if owners play with them daily and feed them a meat-rich food, new research shows.
Hunting by cats is a conservation and welfare concern, but methods to reduce this are controversial and often rely on restricting cat behavior in ways many owners find unacceptable.
The new study—by the University of Exeter—found that introducing a premium commercial food where proteins came from meat reduced the number of prey animals cats brought home by 36%, and also that five to ten minutes of daily play with an owner resulted in a 25% reduction.
"Previous research in this area has focussed on inhibiting cats' ability to hunt, either by keeping them indoors or fitting them with collars, devices and deterrents," said Professor Robbie McDonald, of Exeter's Environment and Sustainability Institute.
"While keeping cats indoors is the only sure-fire way to prevent, some owners are worried about the welfare implications of restricting their cat's outdoor access.
"Our study shows that—using entirely non-invasive, non-restrictive methods—owners can change what the cats themselves want to do.
"By playing with cats and changing their diets, owners can reduce their impact on wildlife without restricting their freedom."
Play in the study involved owners simulating hunting by moving a feather toy on a string and wand so cats could stalk, chase and pounce. Owners also gave cats a toy mouse to play with after each "hunt", mimicking a real kill.
It is not clear what elements of the meaty food led to the reduction in hunting.
"Some cat foods contain protein from plant sources such as soy, and it is possible that despite forming a 'complete diet' these foods leave some cats deficient in one or more micronutrients -prompting them to hunt," said Martina Cecchetti, the Ph.D. student who conducted the experiments.
"However, meat production raises clear climate and environmental issues, so one of our next steps is to find out whether specific micronutrients could be added to cat foods to reduce hunting.
"We also plan to investigate whether different kinds of play have different effects, and whether combining strategies can reduce hunting even further."
The study—based on a 12-week trial of 355 cats in 219 households in south-west England—also examined the effect of existing devices used to limit hunting by cats.
Colorful "Birdsbesafe" collar covers reduced numbers of birds captured and brought home by 42%, but had no effect on hunting of mammals.
Cat bells had no discernible overall effect—although the researchers say the impact on individual cats varied widely, suggesting some cats learn to hunt successfully despite wearing a bell.
Lisa George, from Helston in Cornwall, who looks after Minnie, a three-year-old tabby cat who took part in the trial, said: "Minnie loves to hunt. More often than not, she will bring her prey home and let it go in the house. We've had birds in the bedroom, rats in the waste paper bin (which took us three days to catch), rabbits in the utility room.
"On changing Minnie's food (previously supermarket own-brand), to Lily's Kitchen, I found she hardly hunted at all. This continued the whole time she was on this food. I can honestly say I couldn't believe the difference as regards her hunting behavior."
George Bradley, from project sponsors SongBird Survival, said: "This latest study we have funded is excellent news for birds.
"The data show that cat owners (like me) can make a few small and easy steps to really improve the health and happiness of our pets as well as make a really big difference for all our wildlife, especially our beloved songbirds.
"Making these easy-to-implement changes will be a win-win for birds, cats and cat owners."
Dr. Sarah Ellis, Head of Cat Advocacy at iCatCare, which is part of the advisory group for this research project, said: "We are really encouraged by the findings of this study.
"While many cat owners are wildlife lovers and find the killing and injuring of wild animals by their cats upsetting, many owners also feel that keeping their cats indoors or restricting their outdoor access would impact negatively on their cats' quality of life.
"At iCatCare, we are particularly excited about the positive effects of play—this is an activity that owners can easily introduce at no or little cost, takes little time and is very cat-friendly.
"The mental and physical stimulation of predatory-like play are likely to help keep a cat in tip top condition and provide an appropriate behavioral outlet for its predatory behaviors."
Dr. Adam Grogan, Head of Wildlife at the RSPCA, welcomed the results of the study.
"The RSPCA cares for both and wild animals and we want to provide advice to cat owners that will benefit both cat and wild animal welfare," he said.
"This project provides us with alternatives for cat owners that are simple and effective and so easy to adopt."

 - punishable by imprisonment in any state correctional institution; or
 - defined as a felony by law.1
1 Kan. Stat. § 21-5102(a)
I am a victim of domestic violence and the abuser has a gun. Is this legal?
Kansas state law says that it is illegal for the following people to own or possess a firearm:
 - a person who is addicted to, and illegally using, drugs;
 - a person who is/was mentally ill or an alcohol or drug abuser and subject to involuntary commitment for care and treatment;
 - someone under age 18, unless the barrel of the gun is at least 12 inches long;
 - someone who is a fugitive from justice, which means that the person knows that there is a warrant issued for him/her for committing a felony;
 - an immigrant who is not authorized to be in the United States;
 - someone who, within the past five years, has been convicted of a misdemeanor for a domestic violence offense in Kansas or a similar misdemeanor crime in another state;
 - someone who has a current protection order against him/her (a "respondent") that meets the following three conditions:
 1. It was issued after a hearing and the respondent received notice of the hearing beforehand and had the opportunity to participate in the hearing;
 2. It restrains the respondent from doing any of the following:
 - harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner, the intimate partner's child, or the respondent's child; or
 - engaging in other conduct that would place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of bodily injury to himself/herself or his/her child; and
 3. The protection order:
 - includes a finding by the judge that the respondent represents a "credible threat" to the physical safety of the intimate partner or his/her child; or
 - has terms in it that clearly prohibit the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the intimate partner or his/her child that would reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury;1
 - a person who has been convicted of a "person felony," which are various drug crimes listed in sections K.S.A. § 21-36a01 through 21-36a17 of the law, or convicted of any violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act prior to July 1, 2009;

Using Fulltext Indexes in MySQL - Part 1
February 3, 2003
One of the more useful MySQL features is the ability to search for text using a FULLTEXT index. Currently this is only available if you use the MyISAM table type (which is the default table type, so if you don't know what table type you're using, it'll most likely be MyISAM). A fulltext index can be created for a TEXT, CHAR or VARCHAR type field, or combination of fields. We're going to create a sample table and use it to explore the various features.
The simple form of usage (the MATCH() function) is available to all MySQL servers from version 3.23.23, while the more complex usage (the IN BOOLEAN MODE modifier) is available from version 4. The first part of this article looks at the former, and the second part at the latter.
A sample table
We're going to use the following table throughout this tutorial.
CREATE TABLE fulltext_sample(copy TEXT,FULLTEXT(copy)) TYPE=MyISAM;
The TYPE=MyISAM clause isn't necessary unless you've set the default table type to be something other than MyISAM (perhaps you use InnoDB tables to make use of MySQL's transactional capabilities). Once you've created the table, populate it with some data, as follows:
INSERT INTO fulltext_sample VALUES
('It appears good from here'),
('The here and the past'),
('Why are we hear'),
('An all-out alert'),
('All you need is love'),
('A good alert');
If you'd already created an existing table, you can add a FULLTEXT index with the ALTER TABLE statement (as well as the CREATE INDEX statement), for example:
ALTER TABLE fulltext_sample ADD FULLTEXT(copy)
Searching for text
The syntax of a FULLTEXT search is simple. You MATCH the field AGAINST the text you are searching for, for example:
mysql> SELECT * FROM fulltext_sample WHERE MATCH(copy) AGAINST('love');
| copy |
| All you need is love |
Searches on a FULLTEXT index are performed case-insensitively (as are searches on TEXT and non-binary VARCHAR fields generally). So the following works as well:
mysql> SELECT * FROM fulltext_sample WHERE MATCH(copy) AGAINST('LOVE');
| copy |
| All you need is love |
FULLTEXT indexes are most often used to search natural language text, such as through newspaper articles, web page contents and so on. For this reason MySQL has added a number of features to assist this kind of searching. MySQL does not index any words less than or equal to 3 characters in length, nor does it index any words that appear in more than 50% of the rows. This means that if your table contains 2 or less rows, a search on a FULLTEXT index will never return anything. In future, MySQL will make this behavior more flexible, but for now it should suit most natural language uses. If most fields in your database contain the word'music', you probably don't want these records returned, You can use the IN BOOLEAN MODE modifier to get around the 50% threshold, as you'll see in Part 2 of this article.
Results are returned in order of relevance, from highest to lowest.
The main features
 - Excludes partial words
 - Excludes words less than 4 characters in length (3 or less)
 - Hyphenated words are treated as two words
 - Rows are returned in order of relevance, descending
 "a", "a's", "able", "about", "above", "according", "accordingly", "across", "actually", "after", "afterwards", "again", "against", "ain't", "all", "allow", "allows", "almost", "alone", "along", "already", "also", "although", "always", "am", "among", "amongst", "an", "and", "another", "any", "anybody", "anyhow", "anyone", "anything", "anyway", "anyways", "anywhere", "apart", "appear", "appreciate", "appropriate", "are", "aren't", "around", "as", "aside", "ask", "asking", "associated", "at", "available", "away", "awfully", "b", "be", "became", "because", "become", "becomes", "becoming", "been", "before", "beforehand", "behind", "being", "believe", "below", "beside", "besides", "best", "better", "between", "beyond", "both", "brief", "but", "by", "c", "c'mon", "c's", "came", "can", "can't", "cannot", "cant", "cause", "causes", "certain", "certainly", "changes", "clearly", "co", "com", "come", "comes", "concerning", "consequently", "consider", "considering", "contain", "containing", "contains", "corresponding", "could", "couldn't", "course", "currently", "d", "definitely", "described", "despite", "did", "didn't", "different", "do", "does", "doesn't", "doing", "don't", "done", "down", "downwards", "during", "e", "each", "edu", "eg", "eight", "either", "else", "elsewhere", "enough", "entirely", "especially", "et", "etc", "even", "ever", "every", "everybody", "everyone", "everything", "everywhere", "ex", "exactly", "example", "except", "f", "far", "few", "fifth", "first", "five", "followed", "following", "follows", "for", "former", "formerly", "forth", "four", "from", "further", "furthermore", "g", "get", "gets", "getting", "given", "gives", "go", "goes", "going", "gone", "got", "gotten", "greetings", "h", "had", "hadn't", "happens", "hardly", "has", "hasn't", "have", "haven't", "having", "he", "he's", "hello", "help", "hence", "her", "here", "here's", "hereafter", "hereby", "herein", "hereupon", "hers", "herself", "hi", "him", "himself", "his", "hither", "hopefully", "how", "howbeit", "however", "i", "i'd", "i'll", "i'm", "i've", "ie", "if", "ignored", "immediate", "in", "inasmuch", "inc", "indeed", "indicate", "indicated", "indicates", "inner", "insofar", "instead", "into", "inward", "is", "isn't", "it", "it'd", "it'll", "it's", "its", "itself", "j", "just", "k", "keep", "keeps", "kept", "know", "knows", "known", "l", "last", "lately", "later", "latter", "latterly", "least", "less", "lest", "let", "let's", "like", "liked", "likely", "little", "look", "looking", "looks", "ltd", "m", "mainly", "many", "may", "maybe", "me", "mean", "meanwhile", "merely", "might", "more", "moreover", "most", "mostly", "much", "must", "my", "myself", "n", "name", "namely", "nd", "near", "nearly", "necessary", "need", "needs", "neither", "never", "nevertheless", "new", "next", "nine", "no", "nobody", "non", "none", "noone", "nor", "normally", "not", "nothing", "novel", "now", "nowhere", "o", "obviously", "of", "off", "often", "oh", "ok", "okay", "old", "on", "once", "one", "ones", "only", "onto", "or", "other", "others", "otherwise", "ought", "our", "ours", "ourselves", "out", "outside", "over", "overall", "own", "p", "particular", "particularly", "per", "perhaps", "placed", "please", "plus", "possible", "presumably", "probably", "provides", "q", "que", "quite", "qv", "r", "rather", "rd", "re", "really", "reasonably", "regarding", "regardless", "regards", "relatively", "respectively", "right", "s", "said", "same", "saw", "say", "s

Automatic profiling machine is a movement system that has a high degree of parameter variation and high frequency of transient process, and it requires an accurate control in time. In this paper, the discrete model reference adaptive control system of automatic profiling machine is discussed. Firstly, the model of automatic profiling machine is presented according to the parameters of DC motor. Then the design of the discrete model reference adaptive control is proposed, and the control rules are proven. The results of simulation show that adaptive control system has favorable dynamic performances.
Automatic profiling machine is a movement system which has a high degree of parameter variation and high frequency of transient process, and it requires an accurate control in time. The traditional linear control methods, such as PID, cannot meet present needs or requirements of advanced performance. The adaptive control not only solves the problem that the control plant cannot be observed directly, but also improved the abilities of resisting interference. The applications of adaptive control to movement system are widespread [2–4], but it is infrequent in automatic profiling machine. A practical adaptive controlling scheme is proposed for automatic profiling machine in. In this paper, a discrete model reference adaptive control (MRAC) method is applied to automatic profiling machine. The discrete control method is convenient for program and contributes to application of adaptive control theory in practice.
2. The Mathematics Model
The control system is double closed-loop control system whose current loop is PI control and speed loop is MRAC. The DC motor parameters of automatic profiling machine are shown in Table 1. The equivalent plant of speed loop is consisted of current loop and motor, and the transfer function is
3. The Design of MRAC System
The difference equation of the plant is where and are the output and input of the plant, respectively; is delay operator; is the discrete-time variable.
The difference equation of the reference model is where and are the output and input of the reference model.
The output error and its prediction are given by where and the other variables with "∘" represent the predictions.
The structure of the adaptive control system is shown in Figure 1 where
From Figure 1, the following relationship can be obtained
According to the Hyperstability theory, the discrete system control laws are where where where
cannot be found directly in the operations above, so it can be replaced by. According to (10), becomes
The prediction error can be gained:
4. Simulation Studies
The reference model takes the form as follows:
The simulation results are shown in Figures 3–5. To make a calculation, the percentage overshoot is 6%, the rise time is 1 s, the settling time is 2 s (). Figure 3 is shown that the maximal error value is less than 40 r/min, so the control plant could better track reference model. Input the interference signal into the front of plant transfer function between 10 s and 20 s. The simulation results (in Figure 4) indicate that the control plant could be stable in 2 seconds. Input white noise into the reference input of plant not the reference input of model, and the result is shown in Figure 5. Obviously the figure has no visible variation. So the control system has better abilities of resisting interference.
The discrete model reference adaptive control system of automatic profiling machine is discussed in this paper. The results of simulation show that adaptive control system has favorable dynamic performance. The discrete design method is easy to realize by computer. The work in this paper will lay a foundation for the application of adaptive control in practice.

Cleaning and refurbishing of optical elements for lasers
The technology equipped with lasers cannot be without quality optical elements that need to be regularly checked and, if it is necessary, cleaned, refurbished or replaced. Early intervention can prevent situations where, due to the pollution of the optical element, the surrounding components are burnt and destroyed. This is accompanied by a significant financial expense and production stoppage for a repair time that takes more time than just routine checking.
Our regular inspections contain checking and optics cleaning. If needed, the optics is replaced by a new one and the original optics is taken to be refurbished, if its condition allows it and it is still economical.

Consider a desalination process where you enter sea water and receive fresh water and brine (or maybe pure salt).
How do I compute the least amount of energy per mass? I think this has something to do with the entropy of the different mixtures, mostly dependent on the salt concentration in the brine. Is this correct? How to calculate?

Assuming that the process is done at constant temperature and pressure, what you want is the Gibbs free energy difference. The reaction could be taken to be 1 mole of water in brine on one side and one mole of pure water on the other side.
The result should be a positive number since the process is not spontaneous. However the value of $\Delta G$ will be the minimum non-mechanical work necessary for the process.
To understand this read up on the Gibbs free energy.

It very important in theoretical physics, especially in quantum gravity. The Hamiltonian is a constraint in quantized general relativity. Unlike ordinary quantum field theory or quantum mechanics, the Hamiltonian is a first class constraint on physical states. We also have an independent constraint for each point in space.

Oncolyzer Mobile App
The Oncolyzer project is an interdisciplinary cooperation with Charité — Universitätsmedizin Berlin and SAP started in 2011. It combines individual competences in software engineering, IT systems, and medicine and defines a major key in our strategy to provide real-time data analysis cloud services for clinicians and researchers. The objective of the Oncolyzer project is to improve the treatment process of patients suffering from cancer diseases by leveraging optimized IT-aided software components for clinicians and researchers. As a result, doctors are enabled to select best available cancer therapies much faster by having all relevant information at hand.
The 'heart' of this innovation builds the in-memory computing platform, which supports the combined processing of structured and unstructured medical data in real-time. Thus, it is enables the integration of heterogeneous data sources within the clinical environment without the need for long-running and complex Extract Transform Load (ETL) processes to unify data. The organizational changes in the healthcare sector require increasing support by proper IT-aided tools and processes. Data needs to be instantaneously available at any location a doctor requires the data — even worldwide. The immense increase of knowledge about cancer requires the detailed analysis of biological and genetic details acquired during diagnosis of cancer cells to address only harmful cells as the target of future treatments while keeping side effects at a minimum. Until recently, common therapies that were not individually targeted were applied during the treatment of cancer. Meanwhile, treatments for specific genetic mutations are available, which enable treatment of cancer based on individual genetic dispositions. Nowadays, data processing and analysis becomes a time-consuming challenge due to improved and more detailed diagnostic approaches, such as next-generation sequencing of tumor DNA.
In the near future, the tumor's DNA of all cancer patients will be sequenced to support individualized patient-specific cancer therapies, which result in diagnostic medical data in amount of multiple terabytes. The analysis of these data required optimized software tools that enable graphical exploration of data, their real-time analysis, and the identification of therapy-relevant details to support clinical decision taking.
Features of the Hana Oncolyzer iPad Application
The Oncolyzer iPad application provides clinicians and researchers access to relevant patient data while in the secured network of the clinic's campus. The in-memory technology builds the backend of the application performing relevant data processing and analyses. Selected features of the Oncolyzer application are described in the following.
Combined Search in Structured and Unstructured Data
Oncolyzer: Search in structured and unstructured data medical data
Oncolyzer: Search in structured and unstructured data medical data
The Oncolyzer combines data from various data sources — structured and unstructured.
Structured data are, for example, biopsy results, size of tumor or tissue regions, blood concentration, etc. They are stored in a relational database format and can be accessed via defined attributes. Unstructured data are, for example, text documents, diagnosis, notes, etc. They are stored in text file and they neither consist of a predefined structure nor use standardized text paragraphs. As a result, unstructured data has the following drawback: typos, usage of pseudonyms, abbreviations, etc. However, the majority of clinical medical data is unstructured. Thus, it is important to analyze them in a systematic way and to extract relevant details in real-time. Further details about combined processing of structured and unstructured data can be found on the corresponding feature page.
Visualization of Patient Details for Personalized Medicine
Oncolyzer: Summary of patient's anamnesis
Oncolyzer: Summary of patient's anamnesis
All patient related information need to be available for decision taking by medical doctors. Individual specifics of patients need to be analyzed and evaluated to for personalized medicine. The Oncolyzer combines current as well as historic data of a selected patient on a single screen and performs automatically analysis of the available data, e.g. to highlight patient specifics compared to patients with similar diagnosis or anamnesis. Thus, characteristics and important differences are highlighted, i.e. medical doctors can use these additional information as indicator assessment of the individual reason for the disease and impact of the selected treatment. All information are visualized on an interactive time line, which enables clinicians to move back and forward through the patient's anamnesis while having access to all relevant data with a single click.
Analytical Exploration of Patient Cohorts
Oncolyzer: Real-time analysis of individual patient cohorts using freely definable criteria
Analysis data of all patients or a patient cohort is a time-consuming and often manual task. The Oncolyzer app enables analysis of patient data on mobile devices, i.e. there is no longer a need for a desktop PC to perform the analysis. Furthermore, freely definable filters can be applied to explore patient details. Thus, the Oncolyzer app enables identification of individual patients, e.g. for participation in specific clinical studies to provide individualized treatment. The use of always up-to-date data bridges information gaps and supports fast analysis and evaluation of patient cohorts. Further details about analysis of patient cohorts can be found in the corresponding app description.

Based on available archaeological, written and iconographic sources, the article gives a picture of Germanic infants and juveniles. Here are analysed the Germanic burials of children and immature individuals in the mid-Danubian region from the 1st to 4th cent. BC. The territory under study comprises southwest Slovakia, Moravia and Lower Austria. Graves with anthropological classification of skeletal remains - infants, juveniles or individuals at the turn of infants/juveniles were included into the analyses. The territory under study provided us with 120 graves of infants and juveniles, 115 of them were cremation and 5 inhumation burials. In one case a common grave of a child and juvenile was excavated, in three other cases children were buried with adult individuals. Graves from settlements are presented in the article as well and grave goods are comparable with those from graves situated on necropolises. Grave equipment is confronted with age of deceased children, their evolutionary stage and specificities. Special attention is paid to clothing fittings, occurrence of weapons and artefacts of everyday use in children's burials. Cases, when an individual of juvenile or juvenile/adult age could be a parent, i.e. could have own children, can occur among the juvenile burials.

Let slip the birds of war!
Not a great start for efforts to bring peace on Earth in 2014.
In what some are interpreting as an ominous sign for world peace, two white doves released from the Vatican have been attacked by two larger birds.
The doves were set free as a symbol of peace from a balcony overlooking St Peter's Square during Pope Francis' weekly Angelus prayers, held at noon every Sunday.
But moments later, a seagull and a black crow swooped down and attacked the doves, pecking at them repeatedly, as tens of thousands of people watched on.
The crow chased down the dove and grappled with it as the white bird tried to fly away.
The Sunday prayers called for an end to violence in Kiev, with the Pope saying there was a need for dialogue between the Ukraine government and opposition.
Tough being caught between a crow and a seagull. Is this some weird living metaphor for Ukraine being caught between Russia and the European Union? Or perhaps the civilians caught between the Syrian regime and Syrian insurgents? The interpretive possibilities are endless.

Dreams can be quite playful about serious matters. On the other hand, they can sometimes seem to take trivial things extremely seriously. A peculiar choice of words or an odd little detail can be unexpectedly significant, and every metaphor can be understood in many ways, at many levels. How are we to find meaning in the paradoxical language of dreams? This seminar will introduce the essentials of dream grammar, and the basics of conversational dreamwork. We will learn to "think like a dream," and to visit our dreams with the same combination of respect, curiosity, and sense of adventure appropriate to visiting another country, or another world.

John Stuart Third Earl of Bute died - On this day in history
John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute and the first Prime Minister from Scotland following the Act of Union, died on 10 March 1792. Bute was an Edinburgh man who became prime minister in 1761, thanks in large part to his friendship with King George III, whom Bute had tutored as a boy.
Bute proved an unpopular prime minister, receiving widespread criticism after introducing a cider tax which penalised cider producing areas heavily. After retiring from politics in 1780, he devoted himself to horticultural matters on his estate in Hampshire and published Botanical Tables Containing the Families of British Plants.
He died at Grosvenor Square in London and is buried on the Isle of Bute.

Aarhus University, December 3, 2020
Welcome to the ReThink Eating 2020 Conference
The Food Quality Perception and Society Team at the Aarhus University Department of Food Science warmly welcomes you to our virtual conference.
This is not a traditional conference. We want to invite people from different backgrounds and disciplines to come together and brainstorm the future of eating. Due to the recent COVID crisis, it has been made clearer than before that we need to rethink not just what we eat, but also how we eat, and who we can share a meal with.
You are invited to join us in coming up with daring and creative solutions, and we want to hear your questions around pressing issues. In these increasingly serious times, we welcome the weird, wacky, and wonderful. Maybe even a sprinkling of magic.
We aim to address big questions like:
 - Why do people eat the way they do?
 - How does digital information influence our physical reality?
 - What role can technology play in creating new eating experiences?
 - How can we rethink what it means to eat together?
 - The conference is fully online and free of charge.
 - Registration deadline is November 26
 - The conference is made possible by the Carlsberg Foundation Young Researcher Fellowship project "Virtual and augmented flavours: Extending human flavour perception via novel sensory inputs"

DAG presents "Madhvi Parekh: The Curious Seeker," presented in collaboration with the Consulate General of India in New York.
Spanning five decades, "The Curious Seeker" offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore Parekh's evolution as an artist, from her roots in folk tradition, to the myriad ways that she diverged from conventions to create her own distinctive style. The exhibition features iconic works by the artist that together represent every phase of her illustrious career, including rare drawings and paintings from the 1960s, influenced by the abstraction of Paul Klee, and significant examples of works that feature recurring themes and subjects across her practice, including the countryside of India, religious imagery, and anthropomorphic forms.
Parekh is recognized by scholars as one of the most significant living Indian artists, who has established her own oeuvre and language in contrast to the artistic conventions of her time. With no formal education in art, her work initially evolved from childhood memories, popular folk stories, legends of her village, and the forms of painting that were part of her family's everyday rituals, such as the traditional floor designs of rangoli. Inspired by her artist-husband Manu Parekh and artists such as Paul Klee and Joan Miró, Parekh began painting in 1964. Her paintings are unplanned, unfolding like a story where she adapts each work to the scale it demands and developing from a single point into vast narratives.
"Madhvi Parekh has often been narrowly defined within the tradition of folk art in India, yet her practice defies categorization—reflecting her own distinct language, as well as wide-ranging influences that deserve further exploration," said Kishore Singh, curator of the exhibition. "Bringing together works from every decade of her practice, this retrospective finally places Parekh squarely within the pantheon of Indian modernism."
Apart from folk motifs, legends, and figures, Parekh also uses imaginary characters in figurative and abstracted orientations in her compositions, demonstrating her use of rhythm and repetition. In most of her works, she utilizes the familiar settings and motifs of Kalamkari, a traditional hand-painted or block-printed cotton textile, and Pichwai, devotional pictures on cloth or paper, in which she enshrines the main character of the composition in the center and fills the minor or secondary ones in the borders.


Keel FAQs:
Q: Is keel the initial step in the construction of a ship?
A: Yes, and in British and American shipbuilding traditions the construction is dated from this event.
Q: Is keel the "flat plate keel"?
A: Yes, and this is fitted in the majority of ocean-going ships and other vessels.
Q: Is keel to provide ballast?
A: Yes.
Q: Are keels different from centreboards and other types of foils in that keels are made of heavy materials to provide ballast to stabilize the boat?
A: Yes.
Q: Is keel often the first part of a ship's hull to be constructed?
A: Yes, and laying the keel, or placing the keel in the cradle in which the ship will be built may mark the start time of its construction.
Q: Is keel to convert the sideways motion of the wind when it is abeam into forward motion?
A: Yes.
Q: Is keel suitable with its massive scantlings?
A: Yes, but there is always a problem of the increased draft with no additional cargo capacity.
Q: Is keel almost inevitably of the flat plate type?
A: Yes, and bar keels often being associated with open floors, where the plate keel may also be fitted.
Q: Are keels provided in the bottom of some vessels?
A: Yes.
Q: Is keel the bottom-most structural member around which the hull of a ship is built?
A: Yes.

Uncle Bob's Bowling Game Kata
August 11, 2009
Someone mentioned Uncle Bob's Bowling Game Kata to me a few days ago; it is apparently famous as a tutorial on object-oriented programming and test-driven development, though I had never heard of either Uncle Bob or his Bowling Game Kata.
A game of tenpins bowling lasts ten frames, in each of which the bowler makes one or two attempts to knock down ten pins arranged in a triangle. If the bowler knocks down all ten pins on the first attempt (that's called a "strike"), he scores ten pins plus the number of pins knocked down on his next two rolls. If the bowler knocks down all ten pins after two attempts (that's called a "spare"), he scores ten pins plus the number of pins knocked down on his next roll. If the bowler fails to knock down all ten pins (that's called an "open frame"), he scores the number of pins he knocked down. The scores accumulate through all ten frames. At the last frame, if necessary, the pins are reset for one or two additional rolls to count the final bonus. The sample scoresheet below shows how the calculations work:
For instance, the score in the second frame is 9, the sum of the two balls in the open frame. The score in the third frame is 15, which is 10 for the spare plus 5 on the next ball. The score in the ninth frame is 20, which is 10 for the strike plus 10 for the spare on the first two balls of the tenth frame. The score in the tenth frame is 16, which is 10 for the spare plus 6 for the extra ball, which is a bonus ball not really part of any frame (the two balls of the tenth frame have already been rolled).
Your task is to write a function that calculates the score of a tenpins bowling game. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.

What does this symbol in Photoshop CS3 mean? It doesn't look like a standard layer symbol, but yet it has gradient styles on it without any layer effects applied.
enter image description here
That arrow downwards means it is being clipped. The layer under this one is the clipping mask.
This has the effect that layers deeper down are not affected by this. Only the one directly beneath.
This tecnique is very usefull when using adjustment-, fillor other effects layers because it limits the effect to just one layer instead of affecting the whole stack.

Experimental Lighting
 A continuous light such as a torch or candle can be mixed with flash light to create a composite negative with two exposures. How to get this effect: 1. Set the camera to multiple exposure. 2. Use the camera on a tripod with a cable release. 3. Meter for the flash light (or overhead/daylight in the case of the Picasso or Dance Hall images) and make the 1st exposure. 4. Then in a darkened space where the torch is the only light source use a long exposure to record the movement of the torch (this could be about 20 seconds for example). 5. The torch Read more
Combining Flash and Continuous Light
 Fill-in flash uses a combination of flash and daylight to make an exposure. It is useful in strong daylight to fill in shadows formed by existing light. The effect is natural rather than harsh. PDF: Combining Flash and Continuous Light


[nvda] Re: nvda and internet
It should be noted that insert f1 places you in a key describer function. Press any key or combination of keys and you will hear a brief description of the command, if any. If no command corresponds to the key or combination, you may simply hear something like the letter or number spoken. You probably have to be in the program you want to work with for program specific commands to be announced. Just systematically going through different combinations, such as insert and each letter or function key or number key will teach you a lot. Or in some programs such as Internet Explorer, just pressing every letter of the alphabet will teach you a lot. From the little playing around I've done, it appears that the key describer will only announce commands that are specific to NVDA. For example, pressing tab while in Internet Explorer won't tell you anything. this is an Internet Explorer command. Typing the letter k will tell you something because that is a command in NVDA.

The original borders of Franklin Township were established in 1819 from land situated between Canton and Towanda townships. Land in the western part of the town was given over to form Granville Township in 1831 along with Burlington and Canton townships. In 1835 land was given to form LeRoy Township along with Canton Township. In 1853 Overton was created and Franklin contributed with land south of Schrader Creek. In 1866 the border with Burlington Township was re-drawn though that change would not be reflected in this map.
The southern part of Franklin Township was originally established as Barclay Township in 1867 when the area supported a large mining concern. In time, however, the mines fell into decline and Barclay was incorporated into Franklin.
The (Indian) Sheshequin Path leads through the most densely populated part of Franklin Township, indicating the early settlers, and those that followed, used the Indian paths. The Sheshequin Path leads from the present-day Canton area to Tioga Point, a major Indian stronghold and trading area.
When settlers first entered the area the land was covered with pine, hemlock, oak, and maple trees. The Indians used the area for hunting but there were no permanent Indian settlements in the valley or nearby mountains.
In 1858 Franklin Township had two school houses (near the center of the populated portion of the town), eight saw mills, a store in Barclay and two coal mines. Two communities, or concentrations of people, were evident in 1858: Franklindale and West Franklin. Only Franklindale had a Post Office.
No churches or cemeteries were found within the township. This may mean services were held at homes or that the surveyors did not include them.

Several names could not be read in the Franklindale area, in the eastern portion of the township, due to fading and other markings on the map.

I have a question for you about sex that may seem a little silly. I had a cold recently with a badly running nose. My boyfriend and I started having sex. While we were having sex, my nose stopped running completely. After we were done, my nose started running again. Do you know the reason for this?
If you're looking for a method to stop your running nose, taking some cold medicine may be more practical than having continuous sex, though probably not as much fun. A runny nose occurs because the small blood vessels in your nose are swollen and irritated. Your nose may have stopped running during sex if you were in a prone, horizontal position, similar to not having to blow your nose as much at night when you are lying down. It may be that lying in a prone position somehow reduces the dripping.
More likely, your nose stopped running temporarily because of the effects of adrenaline, a hormone also known as epinephrine. Any type of physical activity (including sex), stress, and fear trigger the release of adrenaline by the adrenal gland. Adrenaline's actions include constricting blood vessels in the skin, increasing blood flow to muscles, and opening up airways. Regarding your runny nose, adrenaline helps shrink the mucous membranes of your nose, reducing your nasal congestion. In this way, adrenaline acts as a temporary natural decongestant.
Once exercise (or sex) is over, adrenaline levels will recede and your symptoms will likely return. So while having sex or other physical activity may not cure your runny nose, the temporary reprieve it can provide may be just what you're looking for!
Sending sniffle-free wishes,Alice!


The Mediterranean gull (Larus melanocephalus) can be found in a single colony, located at Murghiol and declared ornithological refuge in 1938.
At the beginning of the 20th century the population of this species decreased dramatically, due to the colonisation of Dobruja and due to the increase of the anthropic impact on the area.
It is a migratory species, which comes to the Delta at the beginning of March and it leaves at the end of October. It comes to the Delta from the north of the Black Sea.
Its plumage is completely white, excepting its head, which is black. During winter time its head also becomes white, with one black spot on its ears.
Its food consists of mostly dry land insects instead of aquatic creatures. Usually, it hunts above steppes and humid meadows.
The Mediterranean gull has a particular cry, like a caterwaul, which distinguishes it in a mixed flock of gulls.
It nests in mixed colonies alongside other pond species, but it never cohabits with the yellow-legged gull. Their nest is a small construction on the ground, usually made from dry vegetation. The female lays 3 eggs, which are incubated by both parents for 23 or 24 days. After the hatching, the nestlings stay close to the colony.
The natural enemies of this species are the jackal and the raccoon dog.

During Utah's history there have been 14 Territorial Governors and 17 Governors of the State.
Young | Cumming | Dawson | Harding | Doty | Durkee | Shaffer | Vaughan | Woods | Axtell | Emery | Murray | West | Thomas
_PHONE_ LIBERAL PARTY/REPUBLICAN
A native of Royalton, Vermont, born in 1805, Durkee became a business, civic, and political leader in Wisconsin, serving as territorial legislator, congressman, and U.S. senator (1855-61), affiliated at various times with the Liberty, Free Soil, and Republican parties. Appointed governor in 1865, Durkee pursued an energetic course oriented toward territorial development and harmony with the Mormons, although he was critical of the lack of public schools. He returned to Wisconsin in late 1869 and died in 1870 in Omaha.


Shift The Energy For Your Success
Updated: Jun 17, 2020
How much time do you spend setting up the energy of your environment? It is well known that your environment influences your behaviour. You are an energetic being living in an energetic world. You are constantly responding or reacting to your environment. Why not shift the energy for your success. You have the ability to do it!
Colours, for example, are a fascinating blend of wavelength and electromagnetic radiation. They can have a great impact on an environment. Jacob Olesen, in his article '7 Best Colours For Healing' says 'healing colours are the colours that influence mood, calm the nervous system and make the environments less provoking and peace inducing.' Orange is a great colour for inspiring creativity and red will evoke vitality.
Aromas can also be used to create a positive and productive environment. They can have a powerful impact on cognitive functions. Peppermint is known to increase alertness. Lemongrass will lower anxiety. Lemon is known to improve performance and rosemary has been proven to significantly improve memory. Consciously incorporating smells into your environment can assist your body to optimise the time in that space. How awesome is that!
One of my most favourite ways to influence an environment is to use the process of visualisation. Many office spaces, conference rooms, hotel rooms and hospital rooms, to name a few, have no access to fresh air often relying on air-conditioning to keep the air 'fresh'. When spaces are unable to access fresh air, energy builds up. If this energy is not cleared it becomes dense impacting on you and your ability to function at your optimum whether you are conscious of it or not. The great news is, you have the ability to shift the energy.
For me, the process of visualisation simply means using your imagination, and we've all got one of those! Did you know that your thoughts have a powerful ability to create reality. Dr Bruce Lipton was instrumental in shining a light on the power of your thoughts. In his book 'The Biology of Belief', he wrote about our DNA being controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. He showed a link link between mind and matter, and the effects it has on us and our lives.
- Henry Ford -
Visualising connects you to your creativity ability within your mind. To clear the energy in a room, shut your eyes and'see' the space flooded with brilliant white light. White light transmutes any dense, negative energy into positive energy. I have found that this quick process can lighten the mood of a room and get energy flowing.
When preparing for a task, visualise how you would like the environment to feel to ensure the outcome you desire. Whether you're about to go on stage, walk into an interview, catchup with a friend in a cafe, undergo surgery, go house hunting, there is power in preparing the environment ahead of time. You have the power to set yourself up for success.
Believe it... do it... and you will have it.
Do you feel your ability to visualise lacks some clarity? To see how I can help, contact me at and book a free 30 minute discovery call.
In support of becoming the best you, you can be,

I want to prove or disprove (A-B)'=B'-A'.
So, let x be an element of (A-B)'
Then x is not an element of A-B
This is where I get confused...
Do I say x is an element of A', x is an element of -B'?
these are not proofs that the claim is false, however, to disprove something, you must give a counter example
To have that (A-B)' IS equal to B'-A' THIS must hold for all A AND B.
However if this equality does not hold then there must be an A or B or both such that :
(A-B)' IS not equal to B'-A' AND Plato already gave you an example.
Perhaps an example not using Nos is the following:
Let B= Φ ( the empty set), and if substitute Φ ΙΝ (Α-Β)' we have:
( A-Φ)'= (A)'= A' BECAUSE A-Φ=Α.Αnd substituting Φ in B'-A' we have:
Φ'-A' = U- A' =A BECAUSE Φ'=U WHERE U is the set of which A, B are subsets.
Hence we have A'= A NOT true.
But we can give a proof in propositional calculus without using a counter example by the following procedure:
Let xε( A-B)' <===> ~xεΑ v xεB as it was shown
Let xε(B'-A') <===> ~xεB & ~xεA' <====> ~xεB & xεA.
Now put xεA=p and xεB=q. So if we want (A-B)' = B'-A' W must have,by the axiom of extensionality :
xε(A-B)' <====> xε(B'-A') or ~xεΑ v xεB <=====>~xεB & xεA or
~p v q <=====> p & ~q which means that ~p vq logicaly implies p & ~q and p & ~q logicaly implies ~p v q,which means that ;
The conditional ~p v q ------> p & ~q must be a tautology and,
The conditional p & ~q ------->~p v q must also be a tautology.
Now by forming the true tables of the above we see that none of the above is a tautology.
Now by a theorem in propositional logic that states:
A formula is a theorem ( hence provable ) of the propositional logic if and only if it is a tautology.
And the fact that the above two conditionals are not tautologies we conclude:
~p v q <=====> p & ~q is not provable,hence xε(A-B)' <====> xε(B'-A') is not provable and,
(A-B)' Is not equal to B'-A'
Note ~xεΑ x does not belong to A, AND ~p means not p
For a mathematical statement it is totally meaningless.
I think that is a perfect example why "Symbolic Logic" is dieing as a separate subject.
The American Symbolic Logic Society meets at the joint meeting of the American Mathematical Society and The Mathematical Association of America. Over the last thirty years I have tried to attend sessions of the Logical Association, but lately the average session has no more that five in attendance

Focus was invented by Sid Sackson.
Focus is played on a square board with some of the corners removed. Here is the board with the pieces in the initial position. Players move, and must move, in turn. White moves first.
In Focus stacks of men emerge in any combination of colors. A stack is owned by the player who's color is on top.
- On his turn a player moves a man or a stack of men horizontally or vertically, based on the number of pieces to be moved (e.g. one piece moves 1 square and a three-piece stack moves 3 squares). Stacks may be split in this process: a player may choose for instance to move only the top man (1 square) or the top two men (2 squares) of a higher stack.
- When a stack grows over five pieces tall, the remaining men are removed from the bottom of the stack. Men of a player's own color become'reserves' to be re-entered into the game at a later time, while pieces of the opponent's color are captured.
- Instead of moving a piece, a player may choose to enter one of his reserves on any square of the board, whether vacant, or occupied by a piece of either color.
A player wins when his opponent cannot move a piece, nor enter a reserve on the board.
Note: Focus gave rise to Crossfire.

Objective: To investigate the effect of oxidized transitional metal (ferric and cupric) ions on the amino acids. Methods: 25 mmol/L hydroxyproline and 25 mmol/L histidine were incubated with 50 μL Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions at pH 7.4 and 37 °C for 30 mins in separate test tubes. Then 500 μL of 1% thiobarbituricacid (TBA) was added to the incubated amino acids followed by addition of 500 μL of glacial acetic acid. The resultant mixture was vortexed and heated at 100 °C for 30 min. Absorbance readings were noted after cooling to room temperature. The experiment was repeated in the presence of various reagents, like hydroxyl radical scavengers, antioxidant enzymes, and reducing agents and metal ion chelators. Results: The pink chromogen formed with the absorbance maxima at 524 nm, AND shifted to 560 nm in alkaline pH. The absorbance was expressed as TBA-adduct in MDA units. The TBA-adduct decreased in the presence of reducing agents and metal ion chelators. Antioxidant enzymes and hydroxyl radical scavengers did not show any effect. Conclusion: Transitional metal ions in their oxidized state showed significant damage to amino acids, hydroxyproline and histidine. The results indicate the possible role played by high-valent oxo-iron species, ferryl and perferry radicals in damaging biomolecules.
