Reducing combustion noise by flow control
The problem
Dryer oven burner
Typical A-weighted noise levels generated by a dryer oven, used in malting grain, reached up to 95 dB. A low-frequency 'boom' at a tone of 82 Hz dominated. As the boom occurred only at low firing, it was diagnosed as flame instability that developed into an oscillation at a resonant frequency of the combustion tube. The precise cause of the instability was determined to be an excessively weak ratio of fuel to air at low firing.
The solution
To overcome this problem, a motor-controlled valve, previously used for controlling weld fume extraction, was adapted and fitted to the combustion fan intake. Triggered by a micro-switch, the valve was used to reduce the air flow at low loads and so improve the combustion characteristics.
The cost
£100 per unit. (1995)
The result
An overall noise reduction of about 8 dB with the low-frequency tone being reduced by 21 dB. The bought-in units had no effect on operations, could be retrofitted and satisfied hygiene requirements.
Consultants were Industrial Noise and Vibration Centre.

In film boiling, a layer of vapor completely blankets the heated surface and prevents liquid contact with the surface. Film boiling is usually considered undesirable because it is an inefficient mode of heat transfer and can lead to temperatures in excess of those allowed for many materials. Because film boiling may inhibit desired heat transfer in several processes including metals manufacturing, cryogenic engineering, and electronic cooling, it is useful to consider how the film boiling vapor layer may be destabilized or altered such that time-averaged heat transfer is improved.

Name Loop unroll pragma extension Name Strings cl_nv_pragma_unroll Number OpenCL Extension #19 Dependencies OpenCL 1.0 is required Contributors Jian-Zhong Wang Bastiaan Aarts Vinod Grover Overview This extension extends the OpenCL C language with a hint that allows loops to be unrolled. This pragma must be used for a loop and can be used to specify full unrolling or partial unrolling by a certain amount. This is a hint and the compiler may ignore this pragma for any reason. Goals The principal goal of the pragma unroll is to improve the performance of loops via unrolling. Typically this enables other optimizations or improves instruction level parallelism of a thread. Details A user may specify that a loop in the source program be unrolled. This is done via a pragma. The syntax of this pragma is as follows _TAG_ unroll [unroll-factor] The pragma unroll may optionally specify an unroll factor. The pragma must be placed immediately before the loop and only applies to that loop. If unroll factor is not specified then the compiler will try to do complete or full unrolling of the loop. If a loop unroll factor is specified the compiler will perform partial loop unrolling. The loop factor, if specified, must be a compile time non negative integer constant. A loop unroll factor of 1 means that the compiler should not unroll the loop. A complete unroll specification has no effect if the trip count of the loop is not compile-time computable. Examples This sections lists a few examples illustrating valid and invalid uses. - Complete unrolling example _TAG_ unroll for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++) {... } This example full unrolling is requested from the compiler. Note that, since the trip count is known to be 32 the compiler will most likely honor this request. In the following example, the trip count is not known so unrolling pragma will be ignored. _TAG_ unroll for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {... } - no unrolling example _TAG_ unroll 1 for (int i = 0; i < 64; i++) {... } - partial unrolling example _TAG_ unroll 4 for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {... } Note that, in this example the trip count is not knownt at compile time, but a partial unroll factor of 4 is valid. - invalid unroll pragma usage The following examples describe some invalid uses of loop unrolling pragmas. _TAG_ unroll -1 for (...) {... } This is invalid because the loop unroll factor is negative. _TAG_ unroll if (...) {... } This is invalid because the pragma is used on a non loop construct _TAG_ unroll x+1 for (...) {... } This is invalid since the loop unroll factor is not a compile-time known value.

Weather in Limassol
Weather Forecast Limassol
Limassol is situated on the southern coast of Cyprus and has a typical Mediterranean climate having hot summers and soft winters. It is located between the ancient cities of Amathus and Kourion. Shipping and International transportation were always of vital importance to the island of Cyprus, and shipping remains still one of the major activities of the busy Business community of Limassol. Its population is approximately 180,000 and Limassol is the second largest city on the island, but yet the largest geographically.
Limassol is also the perfect spot for vacation due to its amazing beaches, exciting archaeological sites and beautiful mountain villages in the Troodos mountain range which is lying to the north of the city. With that being said, the island has a key role in strengthening the economy of Cyprus, especially during the summer season when tourists combine a morning by the beach and an evening enjoying the beautiful sky up on the mountains. Tourists also love Limassol due to its many traditional festivals and celebrations like the infamous wine festival. Moreover, the renowned nightlife of the town with thousands of discos, clubs and bars right on the beach, gives holiday makers a unique feeling of freedom.
Summer is the most popular season for tourists who visit Limassol since they are able to enjoy a lot of water sports and sunbathing when the weather is too hot for other activities such as sightseeing and walking around the city. In May and October, temperature is averaging around 23°C while during June, July, August and September the temperature can reach up to 34°C, especially in August. During the evenings, however, it is much cooler due to late afternoon mild winds coming from the Mediterranean Sea. As it was said before, during August, the temperatures can rise up to 34°C so you are advised to take the necessary precautions to avoid sunburns. Humidity is also very high in Limassol during the summer months, which can be a little uncomfortable, so you are advised to be dressed lightly and drink a lot of water and other liquids. Leave Beer and alcohol for your evening outings to the many traditional restaurants and busy nightspots
The winter in Cyprus is very mild compare to northern European countries. December and January have approximately 8 days of rain each which makes them the rainiest winter months. The two coldest months however, are January and February during which the temperature hardly ever reaches above 18°C during the day and 9°C during night time. The winter season begins in early December and lasts until about the end of February. Even during winter times, there are also approximately 5 or 6 hours per day when the sun is out there are also days when winds are so strong that can lead to storms. During December, the average minimum temperature is 6°C, 7°C during January and 8°C during February. During the day, the temperatures vary depending on the wind and on whether or not there is sun but it can rise up to 20°C.
The shortest seasons in Cyprus are spring and autumn. During these seasons there are a lot of changes in the temperature and the weather varies. In spring and autumn tourists visit Cyprus to explore the island since the weather is more applicable for this kind of activity. In March, the temperature has an average high of 17°C and in November the temperature is one of 21°C. As for the sea, the water temperature is approximately 17°C during the spring yet the mountains flourish. Even though there are some rainy days, most of the days during both months are sunny, with spring more chilly than autumn. Autumn lasts from October until November and during that period of time the temperatures can be as low as 12°C (54°F) and can reach up to 29°C (84°F). During autumn, the weather changes yearly like for instance during October of 2009 there were vicious thunderstorms and during October of 2007, the weather was very dry.

Ethereum has a simpler model by not having UTXOs (Unspent Transaction Outputs) like Bitcoin. What does Ethereum "give up" by not having UTXOs, and what does it gain?
The main validation constraints in a Bitcoin UTXO system are:
- every referenced input must be valid and not yet spent
- the transaction must have a signature matching the owner of the input for every input
- the total value of the inputs must equal or exceed the total value of the outputs
By contrast functionality in an Ethereum account-based system are:
- a global state stores a list of accounts with balances, code, and internal storage
- a transaction is valid if the sending account has enough balance to pay for it, in which case the sending account is debited and the receiving account is credited with the value
- if the receiving account has code, the code runs, and internal storage may also be changed, or the code may even create additional messages to other accounts which lead to further debits and credits
These systems indeed have various tradeoffs. For example, while Ethereum maintains the account balance as part of the global state, a Bitcoin user's "balance" is the total value for which the user has a private key capable of producing a valid signature.
In general, the benefits of UTXOs are:
- Higher degree of privacy: if a user uses a new address for each transaction that they receive then it can be difficult to link accounts to each other
- Potential scalability paradigms: UTXOs are more theoretically compatible with certain kinds of scalability paradigms
The benefits of accounts are:
- Large space savings: because every transaction need only make one reference and one signature and produces one output
- Greater fungibility: because there is no blockchain-level concept of the source of a specific set of coins, it becomes less practical to institute a redlist/blacklisting scheme
- Simplicity: easier to code and understand, especially once more complex scripts become involved
- Constant light client reference: light clients can at any point access all data related to an account by scanning down the state tree in a specific direction
One weakness of the account paradigm is that in order to prevent replay attacks, every transaction must have a "nonce" and the account must keep track of the nonces used.
The accepted answer is a very good summary of the following wiki:
See it for further details, including Ethereum's rationale:
We have decided that, particularly because we are dealing with dapps containing arbitrary state and code, the benefits of accounts massively outweigh the alternatives. Additionally, in the spirit of the We Have No Features principle, we note that if people really do care about privacy then mixers and coinjoin can be built via signed-data-packet protocols inside of contracts.
There is complete answer in Ethereum Wiki

The Australian climate, like most other parts of the world, is unique to a certain level. There's a difference between the American/European summer and Australian summer. Air conditioners that work in those countries don't necessarily do well in Australia, thanks to the harsher Aussie climate. Fortunately for Australia, the country has a home-grown AC company that knows what harsh Australian summers are like. Yes, we are talking about Actron Air. In this article, we'll focus specifically on Actron Air's Energy Smart Performance (ESP) Platinum and its benefits.
Introduction to ESP Platinum
ESP Platinum is a ducted system that's engineered to bear Australia's coldest and hottest climatic conditions. It's designed to excel in scenarios where other brand ACs would struggle and potentially stop working for a period of time. Besides this resilience, the ESP Platinum Ultima setup has several marquee features built into it. For instance, there is Energy Smart Zoning that uses sensors to virtually split the house in different areas and offer cooling based on a specific zone's requirements. There are several other benefits to ESP Platinum, which is discussed in a bit more detail in the following paragraphs.
- Superior Operating Range
Most non-Australian ACs have an upper operating temperature level of 43 to 46-degree Celsius. ESP Platinum can operate up to 50-degree Celsius. The difference of 4 degrees may not look much on paper but makes a marked difference in real life. The temperature near the outdoor AC unit could reach much higher than what's said on weather reports, thanks to the direct heat or sun radiation off the ground. These outdoor units are usually attached against a fence or wall where there isn't much air circulation. The higher operating conditions of ESP Platinum enables it to excel during higher temperature periods.
- Vertical Air Discharge
The ESP Platinum's outdoor unit is clever in the way that it has a vertical and not the industry-standard horizontal air discharge. Sides of Australian homes are certainly handy outdoor unit spaces, but they usually are jam-packed. There is, therefore, not much space for the air to escape the area. In case of horizontal discharge, there are more chances of hot air surrounding the unit, resulting in increased energy consumption, reduced performance and the possibility of the system completely stopping to protect itself till it cools off. The ESP Platinum discharges air vertically and eliminates all of these issues.
- Increased Energy Savings
As aforementioned, Energy Smart Zoning in the ESP Platinum ULTIMA ensures you receive air-conditioned air only when it's needed. An Australian home may have a big living area along with other smaller areas that will be split into various operating zones. Regular inverter systems during night time operation in particular, may deliver excessive air than is required, when a particular zone is shut off. As a result, the zone that's open experiences the "air dump" effect that is inefficient, noisy, and blows the curtain away. ESP Platinum's Variable Fan Technology delivers appropriate levels of conditioned air to your required zones, with the ability to descend to as much as 20 percent of total airflow capacity, and 20% of the total system capacity.
As a result, the ESP Platinum system delivers performance that's almost 75 percent more energy-efficient compared to traditional fixed-speed ACs. With such savings, you can save close to $4500 in 5 years on your electricity bill.
A better comparison is against inverters as every Japanese and Korean system on the market is an inverter system. The number in $$$$ saving won't be as high but it will be a comparison against all of Actron's competitors.
- Tru-Inverter Technology
Unlike traditional inverter compressors that induce a jump in capacity step-by-step, ESP Platinum's Tru-Inverter is much more reactive to demand, which means it can attain desired temperature smoother and faster. In other words, Tru-Inverter can cool and heat your house five times faster compared to a traditional inverter system. Tru-Inverter also contributes to improved efficiency of the system by operating down to 20 percent of total capacity. On the other hand, conventional inverters can go down to only 50 percent of capacity. Some other systems may also claim similar capabilities but they may only reach high capacity output for as little as 20min bursts, which obviously slows the process down. Once the 20min burst is complete the system can only run at 100% capacity till you turn it off and back on, as opposed to the ESP Platinum Plus / Ultima systems which can run at 120% 24/7. These short 20min bursts are not going to make any difference on a hot summer day which defeats the purpose of a Tru compressor system.


DSDM has three basic phases Pre-project, Project life cycle and Post project phase.
 1. Pre-project phase: - In this phase project is identified, project funds are allocated and commitment from all stake holder is ensured.
 2. Project life cycle phase: - This is the most lengthy and detail phase in DSDM. This is where all actual project execution happens. This phase is explained in a more detail manner in the coming section.
 3. Post project phase: - In this phase system is operating smoothly. The main activity conducted in this phase is maintenance, enhancement and project defect fixes. Maintenance, enhancement and defect fixing can be viewed as iterative and incremental nature of DSDM.
Figure: - DSDM Phases
Can you explain in detail project life cycle phase in DSDM?
There are in all five phases in DSDM project life cycle:-
 1. Feasibility Study: - During this stage the can the project be used for DSDM is examined. For that we need to answer questions like "Can this project fulfill business needs?", "Is the project fit for DSDM?" and "What are the prime risks involved in the project?".
 2. Business Study: - Once we have concluded that the project has passed the feasibility study in this phase we do a business study. Business study involves meeting with the end customer/user to discuss about a proposed system. In one sentence it's a requirement gathering phase. Requirements are then prioritized and time boxed. So the output of this phase is a prioritized requirement list with time frames.
 3. Functional Model Iteration: - In this phase we develop prototype which is reviewed by the end user.
 4. Design and Build Iteration: - The prototype which was agreed by the user in the previous stage is designed and built in this stage and given to the end user for testing.
 5. Implementation: - Once the end user has confirmed everything is alright its time to implement the same to the end user.
Figure: - DSDM Project Life Cycle
Can you explain LSD?
Lean software development has derived its principles from lean manufacturing.
Below figure 'Principles of LSD' shows all the principles.
Figure: - Principles of LSD
Let's understand in brief about the principles.
Eliminate waste: - Only deliver what's needed to the end user. Anything more than that is a waste. In short anything which does not add value is a waste. In short we can by pass tasks and still deliver then it should be bypassed.
Decide as late as possible: - Software systems are complex. The more they are near to execution more is the clarity. So delay decisions so that they can be based in facts rather than assumptions. For instance your team decides to use automation testing, but when you complete execution you come to know changes are delivered every day by the developer. After execution you conclude manual testing is the best option. Bad part will be if you have already bought an automation tool, its waste of money.
Deliver as fast as possible: - faster a product is delivered, faster you will get user response and faster you can improve in the next iteration. The concept is not fast coding, but try to deliver is small user identified chunks for better understanding.
Motivate team: - Team members are the most important aspect for success of any project. Motivate them, given them roles; keep your team spirit high and whatever you can do to make them feel good in the project. A highly motivated team delivers project on time.
Integrity: - Software system should be delivered in loosely coupled components. Every component or module can function individually and when integrated with the project it works perfectly well. It should be a plug and play from the end user point of view. This spirit is derived from how actual production system work. You can assemble a car with wheels from one organization and seats from other organization.
Can you explain ASD?
ASD (Adaptive Software Development) accepts that change is a truth. It also accepts in principles that mistakes can happen and it's important to learn from those mistakes in the future. Below figure 'ASD Cycle' shows three important phases in ASD.
Figure: - ASD Cycle
Let's understand all the three phases in a detail manner.
Speculate (nothing but planning):- This is the planning phase of ASD cycle. Below figure 'Speculate' shows in detail what happens in this phase.
Define Project Scope: - This is the first phase in the main speculate phase. In this we set the main goals and what's the scope of the entire project.
Set Time for Scope: - Timelines are decided for the scope identified in the previous phase.
Decide the number of iterations: - Depending on the time lines and the scope we identify how many iterations will the project have.
Break Scope to tasks: - In this section we break the scope in to tasks. Tasks are nothing but development activity which a developer has to do to complete the scope.
Assign task to developers: - Assign those task to developer.
Now that we know who will do what task, its time for coding / execution.
Figure: - Speculate
Collaborate (coding / execution):-Execute as per the task and test it.
Learn (Review and give feedback to planning):- At the end of iteration see what lessons we have learnt and apply the same for the next iteration.
From all the methodologies shown above, XP is the most used for Agile. One of the important points to be noted about all the XP methodologies described above is that every body believes in accepting change. Principles of all the agile methodologies are more or less same. So do not get confused just understand what every methodology concentrates on. For instance FDD plans around features, Scrum uses product owner and catalog for describing a project, DSDM gives importance to RAD. So understand the main theme of the methodologies but yes the common acceptance is every one believes on 'Accepting Changes'.

Si and Ge are widely used as analyzing crystals for x-rays. Drastic and accurate shaping of Si or Ge gives significant advance in the x-ray field, although covalently bonded Si or Ge crystals have long been believed to be not deformable to various shapes. Recently, we developed a deformation technique for obtaining strongly and accurately shaped Si or Ge wafers of high crystal quality, and the use of the deformed wafer made it possible to produce fine-focused x-rays. In the present study, we prepared a cylindrical Ge wafer with a radius of curvature of 50 mm, and acquired fluorescent x-rays simultaneously from four elements by combining the cylindrical Ge wafer with a position-sensitive detector. The energy resolution of the x-ray fluorescence spectrum was as good as that obtained using a flat single crystal, and its gain was over 100. The demonstration of the simultaneous acquisition of high-resolution x-ray fluorescence spectra indicated various possibilities of x-ray spectrometry, such as one-shot x-ray spectroscopy and highly efficient wave-dispersive x-ray spectrometers.

Why Did Kaneki'S Nails Turn Black?
How old is kaneki?
Why did they kidnap kaneki?
He was a ghoul tortured brutally by a CCG officer and quickly became a torturer himself. It's safe to say he tortured other people before Kaneki. … Yamori, a sadistic guy, wanted to see how strong a one eyes willpower was, so he took kaneki, and you know the rest from there!
What do black fingernails mean?
Dark spots or streaks rather than full discoloration of the nails may be caused by bruising, psoriasis, melanoma (a type of skin cancer), chronic infections, and medications such as from cancer chemotherapy.
Why the nails are black?
Some types of bacteria, as well as fungal infection of the nail, can also produce melanin that discolours the nails. Nicotine stains from cigarettes, certain medicated lotions and dirt can also stain our nails. Injuries or ill-fitting shoes can cause bleeding under the nail, making it appear black.
Why did kaneki's hair turn white?
As Kaneki had to repeatedly heal his toes over and over and over, all the while being tortured and borderline starved. His body was basically getting weaker and weaker because the cells were wearing thin, which is why his hair turns white, as happens with people when they get old.
Was kaneki's mom abusive?
Kaneki being abused. She was intelligent and seemed to always be kind. … Kaneki's description of his mother appears to be somewhat distorted; his memories of her show her actions of being physically abusive, beating her young son and putting others' needs before his emotional health along with her own physical health.
Did kaneki eat hide?
Kaneki has gone out of his mind, babbling irrationally in a state of being half kakuja. Hide lets Kaneki eat his face to get back his strength. While it appeared at first that Hide had died in the process, he reappeared later as Scarecrow, an ally of Kaneki and the ghoul hunters.
Is kaneki the strongest ghoul?
Ken Kaneki is the main protagonist of the Tokyo Ghoul series. … Kaneki is ranked as an SS Ghoul, but he is much more powerful than that.
What do black streaks in fingernails mean?
Black lines on the nail can be the result of many conditions. Trauma is one of the most common causes of splinter hemorrhages. This can occur when something hurts your nail bed and bursts a blood vessel under your nail.
What happens if your fingernail turns black?
It is common for a nail to turn black after an injury. The black or purple-black color is caused by blood under the nail and will go away as the injury heals. Black, brown, or purple discoloration under a nail that has not been injured may be caused by melanoma.
What mental illness does kaneki have?
dissociative identity disorderA more common and rational belief is that Kaneki/Haise suffers from dissociative identity disorder, in which the sufferer has two or more distinct and separate identities that take control over the persons behaviour.
How long was kaneki tortured?
10 daysYou are correct, but there are some people who don't know exactly how long Kaneki was tortured. He was tortured for 10 days, enough time for his hair to turn white.

Business intelligence (BI), "big data", and analytics solutions are being deployed in an increasing number of organizations, yet recent predictions point to severe shortages in the number of graduates prepared to work in the area. New model curriculum is needed that can properly introduce BI and analytics topics into existing curriculum. That curriculum needs to incorporate current big data developments even as new dedicated analytics programs are becoming more prominent throughout the world. This paper contributes to the BI field by providing the first BI model curriculum guidelines. It focuses on adding appropriate elective courses to existing curriculum in order to foster the development of BI skills, knowledge, and experience for undergraduate majors, master of science in business information systems degree students, and MBAs. New curricula must achieve a delicate balance between a topic's level of coverage that is appropriate to students' level of expertise and background, and it must reflect industry workforce needs. Our approach to model curriculum development for business intelligence courses follows the structure of Krathwohl's (2002) revised taxonomy, and we incorporated multi-level feedback from faculty and industry experts. Overall, this was a long-term effort that resulted in model curriculum guidelines.

PR Prose: PR pros can help people unite or we can help them divide
Posted May 9, 2019
By Dr. Shannon Bowen, professor in the public relations sequence
Reprinted with permission from PRWeek
As the news illustrates almost every day, the world has become more contentious and divided than in recent memory. As public relations pros we can help people converse, unite, understand, and listen — or we can help them divide.
What is our moral responsibility? How can we help our profession behave more ethically and have a positive impact on the communities and people around us?
Consider the public relations function itself. We strive for a competitive advantage for our organizations and clients, using the communication function to differentiate ourselves and stay connected to stakeholders.
That's how we contribute to our organizations and earn a seat at the table. Competitiveness is key. But what if we also embraced our roles as communication facilitators?
Although being competitive is central, we can also use our roles to help resolve conflict, generate ethical awareness and responsiveness, and to build understanding with stakeholders and even the people who may not even like us.
But what does it take to accomplish this in such a contentious environment?
A communication facilitator listens intently and acts as a liaison between two or more perspectives. Building dialogue is not easy. We must act with good will, listen to understand, not to prepare counter-points, and be willing to relinquish power for a shared understanding.
Sharing power is difficult for competitive businesses. In today's divisive environment, those seeking power seem to outnumber those who try to enhance and enable the voices of others.
One potential solution: Act as a conscientious facilitator for our organizations and clients and engage with the people who are dissatisfied with our organizations. It's a bold move, but one filled with moral autonomy, respect, and dignity.
This must be done with good intent and to help promote understanding and resolve problems, rather than to simply pacify or silence our critics.
It can also be unpleasant. You may be rebuffed, or met with derision, suspicion, and contempt. But, the role of conscientious facilitator offers huge benefits and offers insight into the perspective of others.
In a world full of divisiveness, PR pros can enhance their own worth by being the reasonable voice, the facilitator of accord, and a leader respected by all who creates a zone of understanding.
Being a conscientious facilitator requires us to be active and mindful, rather than simply convinced of the rightness of our causes. And we're required to be flexible, patient and resilient when forging a path through this difficult and divisive terrain.
For example, Bill Nielsen, a leader for years at Johnson & Johnson, once told me he regularly attended animal rights activist meetings so he could talk with them and understand their values and priorities.
He was routinely scowled upon, but he was in the room when others were not. Sometimes it just takes showing up with good intent to improve the world and lessen the divisiveness in our small part of it.
This is the essence of ethical, conscientious facilitation in public relations that leads to true collaboration and better relationships over time.
Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.

How much carbon dioxide is produced? 3NaHCO 3(aq) + H 3 C 6 H 5 O 7(aq) > 3CO 2 (g) + 3H 2 O(l) + Na 3 C 6 H 5 O 7 (aq) 1.0g 1.0g 84g/mol 192g/mol 44g/mol 1.0g(1mol/84g) 1.0(1mol/192g) mol mol (if citrate limiting) (3)= mol So bicarbonate limiting: mol 0.012(1/3)=.0040mol moles CO 2 44g/mol(0.012mol)=0.53g CO =.0012mol left mol(192 g/mol)= g left.
46 Theoretical Yield The theoretical yield is the amount of product that can be made In other words it s the amount of product possible from stoichiometry. The perfect reaction. This is different from the actual yield, the amount one actually produces and measures
47 Percent Yield A comparison of the amount actually obtained to the amount it was possible to make Actual Yield Percent Yield = x 100 Theoretical Yield
48 Example Benzene (C 6 H 6 ) reacts with Bromine to produce bromobenzene (C 6 H 6 Br) and hydrobromic acid. If 30. g of benzene reacts with 65 g of bromine and produces 56.7 g of bromobenzene, what is the percent yield of the reaction? C 6 H 6 + Br > C 6 H 5 Br + HBr 30.g 65 g 56.7 g 78g/mol 160.g/mol 157g/mol 30.g(1mol/78g) 65g(1mol/160g) 0.38 mol 0.41 mol (If Br 2 limiting) 0.41 mol 0.41 mol (If C 6 H 6 limiting) 0.38 mol 0.38 mol 0.38mol(157g/1mol) = 60.g 56.7g/60.g(100)=94.5%=95%

Boards and Institutional Diversity: Missed Opportunities, Points of Leverage
Since the financial crisis of 2008, board agendas have been dominated by financial and enrollment concerns. Yet boards can also play a key role in addressing issues of diversity, equity and inclusion on campus.
Given the many points of leverage they can apply, boards are uniquely positioned to advance change in ways other institutional stakeholders cannot. This paper explores how boards and institutional leaders can forge a tighter link between governance and campus diversity, one that leads to positive progress on a difficult and nuanced set of issues.
The authors based their report on personal observations and a detailed examination of the literature on board governance and campus diversity.

A tank of 50 ft^3 volume contains saturated ammonia at a pressure of 200 lbf/in^2. Initially the tank contains 50% liquid and 50% vapor by volume. Vapor is withdraw from the top of the tank until the pressure is 100 lbf/in^2. Assuming that only vapor (i.e., no liquid) leaves and that the process is adiabatic, calculate the mass of ammonia withdrawn.

Ordnance Survey Data Importer Coordinate Conversion Accuracy
Update 13 March 2013: Please see latest blog post (fix) on this here.
Thanks to a comment on my original post around my project that imports Ordnance Survey CodePoint data into SQL Server, I was made aware of a potential issue with the (awesome) third party GeoCoordConversion DLL I use to convert the Eastings/Northings coordinates supplied in the Ordnance Survey data files, into Latitude/Longitude coordinates. The issue relates to an inaccuracy in the conversion process, specifically to do with integer divisions instead of double.
So, this blog post is to document my analysis of that and try to quantify what, if any, impact there is on the accuracy of the conversion of Eastings/Northings to Latitude/Longitude. So what I've done is:
 1. Import the Ordnance Survey data set using the released version ( of the GeoCoordConversion library (i.e. the version my project uses)
 2. Downloaded the source code for GeoCoordConversion and corrected the parts of the calculations where the raised issue noted an inaccuracy
 3. Reran the data import into a separate table using the "corrected" conversion code
 4. Ran the following query to try and quantify how much of a difference it actually makes:
 SELECT orig.OutwardCode, orig.InwardCode,
 orig.GeoLocation.STDistance(new.GeoLocation) Dist
 FROM PostCodeData orig
 JOIN PostCodeDataWithFix new ON orig.InwardCode = new.InwardCode
 AND orig.OutwardCode = new.OutwardCode
SELECT MIN(Dist) AS MinDifferenceInMetres,
 MAX(Dist) AS MaxDifferenceInMetres,
 AVG(Dist) AS AverageDifferenceInMetres,
 SUM(CASE WHEN Dist = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) AS NumberOfDifferences
The MAXIMUM distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 124.9 metres.
The MINIMUM distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 0 metres.
The AVERAGE distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 2.5 metres.
The TOTAL NUMBER of differences was 1,652,458 (out of 1,705,177 conversions).
This map shows the case that had the biggest difference (postcode: NR34 8JW). Plotted points are as follows:
(A) = position from conversion process before fix
(B) = position from conversion process with fix
(C) = position Google Maps gives for location
Note (B) and (C) are in the same spot, so that's why you can't see both!
View Larger Map
For me, and what I see as potential uses for this data, I personally don't see this as much of an issue especially with an average difference of 2.5 metres. I will add a comment on to the GeoCoordConversion project issue page, referencing this post. Though there doesn't look to be any activity on the project, so whether a fix can be applied is yet to be seen. That's my preferred route at present, to see if the author of that project is around to apply a fix as I currently don't have full knowledge of what I changes I can make to the source code and what would be acceptable in order to distribute the amended source code as part of my project (my project is released under a different, but compatible license...but things might get murkier when it comes to amending/distributing those amendments). In a nutshell, I just don't have time to try to make head and tail of what I can legitimately do (and I don't want to change the license for my project)!
All feedback welcomed
 1. Hi,
 Many thanks for this, it is exactly what I needed. Just a question would it be possible for you to share the updated dll?
 Many thanks
 1. _USER_ - I'll see what I can do. Need to check the license applied to that project / may contact that project owner.
 2. If you can't get anywhere with that project, you might want to take a look at my.NET coords library,
 I've used it for my own projects a lot and several other people are using it without too many issues
 3. _USER_ - awesome, thanks. I will give it a try soon!
 4. Wicked, really wicked cheers!

Are In-Demand Jobs in the Hospitality Sector, In-Demand for Opportunity Youth?
A familiar theme in a "changing world of work" is the fear of job loss to automation, matched by insufficient job creation to meet the demands of youth unemployment. Despite these fears, the hospitality industry continues to grow: Demand for workers, the large number of entry-level jobs, combined with low barriers to entry, transferable customer service skills, and a tendency to promote existing and long-term employees to management-level positions, make the hospitality sector ideal for workforce development efforts that target young people. Hotel supply chains also represent a diverse array of opportunities for youth in a changing world of work. With so much potential for career pathways in hospitality, why aren't more youth engaged? This session discussed the potential of the hospitality industry alongside some of the common and persistent barriers to Opportunity Youth gaining access to jobs in the sector, as well as some of the strategies being deployed to address these challenges.

ROMAN FOREST, TX
ROMAN FOREST, TEXAS. Roman Forest is located east of U. S. Highway 59 and near the East Fork of the San Jacinto River about thirty-two miles northeast of Houston and twenty-three miles southeast of Conroe in southeastern Montgomery County. The community began as a residential subdivision that developers named for the area's wooded terrain. By the mid-1970s residents voted to incorporate and established a city government. In 1980 Roman Forest had a population of 929. That number increased to 1,033 in 1990 and 1,279 in 2000. Roman Forest has its own police force, elementary school, and churches. Most citizens commute to Houston.

A Hidden Gem in BibleWorks
Luke 18:1-4
Luke 18:1-4 (click to enlarge)
A hidden gem in BibleWorks is the "MacDonald Greek Transcription."
BibleWorks comes with sentence diagrams for the Greek New Testament. They are also useful and look like this:
Luke 18:1-2 (click to enlarge)
Luke 18:1-2 (click to enlarge)
The MacDonald transcriptions above, however, replicate something I haven't seen in any other Bible software (EDIT/UPDATE: Logos has a "clausal outlines" module, minus the color coding), which is the sentence flow method of representing and visualizing a sentence. He uses color coding and spacing to line up parallel ideas and repeated words, making them easier to see than in just the text or even the diagrams.
It's a great way to get at the motifs and important words of a given passage. And I'd forgotten about it until recently, but am now using it most weeks in sermon preparation.
The full title of the resource above is Syntactic and Thematic Greek Transcription of the New Testament, by William Graham MacDonald, 2008. BibleWorks is available here. Its full contents list is here.
5 thoughts on "A Hidden Gem in BibleWorks
 1. In Logos, look for Dean Deppe's "Clausal Outlines of the Greek New Testament". There are NA27 and an SBLGNT editions. They don't use color, but they do structure the text, line up related components, etc. Note that Logos' sentence diagrammer can also be used to structure the text in this way instead of a traditional stick diagram.
 1. Thanks, Rick! I was looking through the Logos pages and forums to see if there was anything, and noticed that you can make your own, but didn't know about Deppe. I just see it as part of the (erstwhile top-secret?) Biblical Languages package in L5. Is it coming available separately any time soon? I find that method a great way to engage the biblical text.

The Gleg'ren
The Gleg'ren are an underwater society of semi-human/semi-fish people with blue-green skin, large, black eyes, scaly bodies, and webbed hands and feet. The most commonly encountered members of the race are the scouts. The scouts serve the society as the hunters and warriors. They are quite adept at survival on the ocean floor and can wield the crossbow and trident effectively. When hunting, gleg'ren scouts will set snares with their fishing nets or fire tethered crossbow bolts.
The gleg'ren have a complex hierarchical society with clerics at the top, wizards in the middle, and scouts and other workers at the bottom. Nearly all gleg'ren wizards are sorcerers. Over the centuries, gleg'ren have developed many spells on their own which are unfamiliar to surface mages.
As amphibians, gleg'ren can function underwater or above it, but they greatly prefer to stay away from the surface. In fact, gleg'ren are very isolationist, preferring not to come in contact with land dwellers. Usually, when a gleg'ren is sighted, fishermen or sailors capture the freaky fish man and abuse the gleg'ren in some way. Consequently, gleg'ren tend to treat surface dwellers with hostility upon sight. Aquarel alvar, the sea elves, however, tend to have decent relations with the gleg'ren.
Gleg'ren live in underwater cities replete with fine works of sculptured coral. Gleg'ren love elven silver since it does not tarnish in salt water. These treasures would fetch a fortune on the surface.

We present a new formula which models the rate of decline of supernovae (SN) as given by the light curve in various bands. The physical basis is the conversion of the flux of kinetic energy into radiation. The two main components of the model are a power law dependence for the radius–time relation and a decreasing density with increasing distance from the central point. The new formula is applied to SN 1993J, SN 2005cf, SN 1999ac, and SN 2001el in different bands.

Normally when you see a student enter the class, he moves past the first bench without even giving it a glance. Why is that? What is so scary about seating in the first bench? Services such as college homework help believe that it is a way of conveying the message that they are much more than mere book worms. FIRSTBENCHER.COM wishes to enlighten seekers of the question of what has created a gap between the first bench and the student.
- When a student is in the seat of the first bench, the only view he is entitled to is that of the teacher and the board, which seems to let the class last longer than it is supposed to.
- The first benchers are the geeky group of the class, who are considered to be boring and honestly they are not invited to the cool parties and trips.
- When you come to the class with mischievous intentions then the first bench never forms the part of the plan.
- The last benchers do not receive much focus and are out of the monitoring zone of the teacher. They can sleep or just fool around and if there is a back door to the class, they can escape after the attendance.
- If you are one of those students who always fail to do their homework and are not very fond of the idea of taking down notes then the last bench is your area.
- The first bench students are treated like minions of the teacher; they are asked to collect the notes, erase the blackboard, announce notices and often asked to carry the stuff for her.
- The first benchers ought to be attentive all the time and if they are not they get in trouble such as detention.
- The last benchers have the best view of the class; they can draw peculiar pictures of the teachers, the geeky students and even pass around funny notes.
- The teachers generally know the care-free attitude of the last benchers and avoid asking questions from them because that would only put a dent in their duty of completing the course on time.
The most basic reason of avoiding the first bench is that students do not want to come across as a dork to their friends and classmates. The true experience of the class is enjoyed by the last benchers because they remember the class not just for the studies but also for the pranks and fun they did. The irony is last benchers achieve better in life than the first benchers because the easy way to get things done which involves entertainment as well. The students look for reliable sources of accounting homework help services that can help them with their complex homework and also search for professional essay writers to make their essay come across as insightful. The best of the class is enjoyed by the last benchers because they will be leaving the institution with memories and knowledge.

dump [-W | -w]
On media that cannot reliably return an end-of-media indication (such as some cartridge tape drives), each volume is of a fixed size; the actual size is determined by specifying cartridge media, or via the tape size, density and/or block count options below. By default, the same output file name is used for each volume after prompting the operator to change media.
files-to-dump is either a mountpoint of a filesystem or a list of files and directories to be backed up as a subset of a filesystem. In the former case, either the path to a mounted filesystem or the device of an unmounted filesystem can be used. In the latter case, certain restrictions are placed on the backup: -u is not allowed, the only dump level that is supported is 0 and all the files and directories must reside on the same filesystem.
|-level#||The dump level (any integer). A level 0, full backup, guarantees the entire file system is copied (but see also the -h option below). A level number above 0, incremental backup, tells dump to copy all files new or modified since the last dump of a lower level. The default level is 0. Historically only levels 0 to 9 were usable in dump, this version is able to understand any integer as a dump level.|
|-a||auto-size. Bypass all tape length calculations, and write until an end-of-media indication is returned. This works best for most modern tape drives, and is the default. Use of this option is particularly recommended when appending to an existing tape, or using a tape drive with hardware compression (where you can never be sure about the compression ratio).|
|Archive a dump table-of-contents in the specified archive_file to be used by restore(8) to determine whether a file is in the dump file that is being restored.|
|The number of kilobytes per dump record. The default blocksize is 10, unless the -d option has been used to specify a tape density of 6250BPI or more, in which case the default blocksize is 32. Th maximal value is 1024. Note however that, since the IO system slices all requests into chunks of MAXBSIZE (which can be as low as 64kB), you can experience problems with dump(8) and restore(8) when using a higher value, depending on your kernel and/or libC versions.|
|The number of 1 kB blocks per volume. Not normally required, as dump can detect end-of-media. When the specified size is reached, dump waits for you to change the volume. This option overrides the calculation of tape size based on length and density. If compression is on this limits the size of the compressed output per volume. Multiple values may be given as a single argument separated by commas. Each value will be used for one dump volume in the order listed; if dump creates more volumes than the number of values given, the last value will be used for the remaining volumes. This is useful for filling up already partially filled media (and then continuing with full size volumes on empty media) or mixing media of different sizes.|
|-c||Change the defaults for use with a cartridge tape drive, with a density of 8000 bpi, and a length of 1700 feet. Specifying a cartridge drive overrides the end-of-media detection.|
|Set tape density to density. The default is 1600BPI. Specifying a tape density overrides the end-of-media detection.|
|-D file||Set the path name of the file storing the information about the previous full and incremental dumps. The default location is /etc/dumpdates.|
|Exclude inodes from the dump. The inodes parameter is a comma separated list of inode numbers (you can use stat(1) to find the inode number for a file or directory).|
|-E file||Read list of inodes to be excluded from the dump from the text file file. The file file should be an ordinary file containing inode numbers separated by newlines.|
|-f file||Write the backup to file; file may be a special device file like /dev/st0 (a tape drive), /dev/rsd1c (a floppy disk drive), an ordinary file, or - (the standard output). Multiple file names may be given as a single argument separated by commas. Each file will be used for one dump volume in the order listed; if the dump requires more volumes than the number of names given, the last file name will used for all remaining volumes after prompting for media changes. If the name of the file is of the form host:file or user@host:file dump writes to the named file on the remote host (which should already exist, dump doesnt create a new remote file) using rmt(8). The default path name of the remote rmt(8) program is /etc/rmt; this can be overridden by the environment variable RMT.|
|Run script at the end of each tape (except for the last one). The device name and the current volume number are passed on the command line. The script must return 0 if dump should continue without asking the user to change the tape, 1 if dump should continue but ask the user to change the tape. Any other exit code will cause dump to abort. For security reasons, dump reverts back to the real user ID and the real group ID before running the script.|
|Honor the user nodump flag UF_NODUMP only for dumps at or above the given level. The default honor level is 1, so that incremental backups omit such files but full backups retain them.|
|-I nr errors|
|By default, dump will ignore the first 32 read errors on the file system before asking for operator intervention. You can change this using this flag to any value. This is useful when running dump on an active filesystem where read errors simply indicate an inconsistency between the mapping and dumping passes.|
|A value of 0 means that all read errors will be ignored.|
|Compress every block to be written on the tape using bzlib library. This option will work only when dumping to a file or pipe or, when dumping to a tape drive, if the tape drive is capable of writing variable length blocks. You will need at least the 0.4b24 version of restore in order to extract compressed tapes. Tapes written using compression will not be compatible with the BSD tape format. The (optional) parameter specifies the compression level bzlib will use. The default compression level is 2. If the optional parameter is specified, there should be no white space between the option letter and the parameter.|
|-k||Use Kerberos authentication to talk to remote tape servers. (Only available if this option was enabled when dump was compiled.)|
|The user-supplied text string label is placed into the dump header, where tools like restore(8) and file(8) can access it. Note that this label is limited to be at most LBLSIZE (currently 16) characters, which must include the terminating \0.|
|-m||If this flag is specified, dump will optimise the output for inodes having been changed but not modified since the last dump (changed and modified have the meaning defined in stat(2) ). For those inodes, dump will save only the metadata, instead of saving the entire inode contents. Inodes which are either directories or have been modified since the last dump are saved in a regular way. Uses of this flag must be consistent, meaning that either every dump in an incremental dump set have the flag, or no one has it.|
|If you use this option, be aware that many programs that unpack files from archives (e.g. tar, rpm, unzip, dpkg) may set files mtimes to dates in the past. Files installed in this way may not be dumped correctly using "dump -m" if the modified mtime is earlier than the previous level dump.|
|Tapes written using such metadata only inodes will not be compatible with the BSD tape format or older versions of restore.|
|-M||Enable the multi-volume feature. The name specified with f is treated as a prefix and dump writes in sequence to 001, 002 etc. This can be useful when dumping to files on an ext2 partition, in order to bypass the 2GB file size limitation.|
|-n||Whenever dump requires operator attention, notify all operators in the group operator by means similar to a wall(1).|
|-q||Make dump abort immediately whenever operator attention is required, without prompting in case of write errors, tape changes etc.|
|-Q file||Enable the Quick File Access support. Tape positions for each inode are stored into the file file which is used by restore (if called with parameter -Q and the filename) to directly position the tape at the file restore is currently working on. This saves hours when restoring single files from large backups, saves the tapes and the drives head.|
|It is recommended to set up the st driver to return logical tape positions rather than physical before calling dump/restore with parameter -Q. Since not all tape devices support physical tape positions those tape devices return an error during dump/restore when the st driver is set to the default physical setting. Please see the st(4) man page, option MTSETDRVBUFFER, or the mt(1) man page, on how to set the driver to return logical tape positions.|
|Before calling restore with parameter -Q, always make sure the st driver is set to return the same type of tape position used during the call to dump. Otherwise restore


Different 12A*7 Family Tubes in a Blues Junior
Everybody talks about how you can tailor the tone of an amp by swapping tubes in various gain stages or the phase inverter. But how many people have actually done it? And how many have actually documented what the swaps do?
Call me crazy, but I went out and bought $80 worth of tubes and ran them through one of my Blues Juniors, and took scope photos to document the actual effect on preamp distortion and power tube distortion.
The first thing you need to know is that the ubiquitous 12AX7 dual triode is just one member of a family of tubes that have different amounts of gain. The 12AX7 has the most, and is rated at 100. Here are the ratings of its siblings:
12AX7 12AT7 12AY7 12AV7 12AU7
100 60 45 41 20
So the 12AV7 has less than half the gain of a 12AX7, while a 12AU7 has only one-fifth the gain. The 5751 is also in the family, and is supposedly between a 12AX7 and a 12AT7. I tried several, and couldn't find any difference between them and a 12AX7 in this test. There's also a weird cousin, the 12DW7, which has non-identical triodes. One has the gain of a 12AX7, while the other has the gain of a 12AU7. The actual amount of gain in the circuit is determined by the voltages applied and the components selected by the circuit designer. That stuff is hard to change without a soldering iron--and some serious knowledge of what you're doing. But anybody can change tubes.
The second thing you need to know is what the three 12AX7s in a Blues Junior do. The first, V1, amplifies the incoming guitar signal and has the volume control between the first two stages. It also has the FAT switch on the second stage, which boosts the stage and deepens the frequency response. Although V2 has two triodes, like all 12AX7s, only one is used. Its purpose is to restore some of the volume lost in the tone stack, which sits between V1 and V2. The master volume control is situated between V2 and V3, the phase inverter. The phase inverter amplifies the signal some more, but its main job is to create two signals that are mirror images of one another to drive the output tubes. The phase inverter itself can go into distortion, and this distortion is made louder by the output tubes. Or the phase inverter can drive the output tubes into distortion. For the purposes of my test, I didn't differentiate--as far as I'm concerned, the phase inverter is an integral part of the output stage.
Since the Blues Junior is a master volume amp, you can isolate preamp distortion from output stage distortion. Setting the master volume low, below the point where you see or hear distortion, lets you focus solely on preamp distortion, which is controlled by the volume control. Conversely, if you keep the preamp below its distortion point and turn up the master volume until you see or hear distortion, you know it's output stage distortion.
My tests showed that it's pretty much pointless to change V2. Less gain is exactly the same as turning down the master volume. It has no effect on tone or preamp distortion.
So here's what you've been waiting for: the actual scope photos of distortion at different volume settings for each kind of tube.
The Preamp (V1)
12AX7 at 6.5: Asymmetric waveform shows preamp distortion beginning
12AX7 at 8: Distortion quite audible
12AX7 at 10: Strong distortion from here up to 12.
12AT7 at 8: Delayed onset of asymmetrical distortion
12AT7 at 10: Strong distortion
12AT7 at 12: More distortion.
12AY7 at 9: Onset of distortion.
12AY7 at 10
12AY7 at 12
12AV7 at 10
12AV7 at 12
12AU7 at 11
12AU7 at 12
Phase Inverter (V3)
12AX7 at 6.5 (master volume)
12AX7 at 9
12AT7 at 7
12AT7 at 10
12AY7 at 8
12AY7 at 12
12AV7 at 9
12AV7 at 12
12AU7 at 12
The preamp distorts differently than the power amp. It mostly makes the waveform asymmetrical, although it is possible to drive the preamp into clipping with more drive from the guitar. These 440Hz waveforms above were normalized to a guitar's volume at about 6 or 7. The volume knob makes large differences in the height of the waveform and the amp's output. I adjusted the scope gain and attenuation continually to keep the waveform on the screen. None of the tubes made a significant difference in the BJr's tone. At the end of the day, it still sounds like a Blues Junior--one tube might be a little richer or warmer, another cooler and crisper. A one-or-two notch adjustment of the tone controls more than makes up for any difference in brightness. The onset of distortion was the only thing that changed. Yes, every tube sounded a little different, but the differences are completely lost in a non-studio or non-practice situation. When you're playing out, no one will ever hear the difference between a new-old stock Telefunken and a new Sovtek.
Different tubes in the phase inverter do not significantly change the amount of volume available from the power tubes, with the exception of the 12AU7. The output section's characteristic distortion is clipping, and the only difference is the level on the master volume at which clipping begins. As with the preamp, different tubes (a mix of Electro Harmonix, NOS JAN Philips, NOS RCA, and Sovtek), made no real difference in tone.
12AT7s are almost indistinguishable from the stock 12AX7s. You can go a notch or so higher in clean volume, but they sound just like the 12AX7s in breakup. The 12AV7s and 12AY7s are much more noticeable in terms of availability of clean headroom, but the 12AY7 is the better choice because its higher internal impedance doesn't dull the tone as much as the 12AV7. All of the tones you get with the lower-gain tubes are available with the 12AX7s too, but over a much narrower range. Where the stock tubes will play clean when you play soft and go into touch-sensitive breakup when you play louder, the lower-gain tubes will stay clean through a much broader range of playing. The lower-gain tube will also give you more control, so you can stay at a fat, edge-of-breakup level more easily.
My favorite combination for clean playing was a 12AY7 in V1 and a 12AT7 in V3. This combo has an extended clean range, but also has some clipping available from the output stage should you need it. Both tubes have somewhat darker tone than the 12AX7s they replace, which gives a very nice jazz tone.
The 12AU7 is so quiet that it's not worth bothering with--unless you want a low-volume practice amp that only plays clean. A BJr with 12AU7s in V1 and V3 is quiet, but still manages a thick warmth when turned up.

Software-Type Wave Particle Interaction Analyzer (S-WPIA)
To understand energy exchange processes between plasma/particles and waves through wave-particle interactions, the newly developed S-WPIA system is installed in the ERG satellite. The time evolution of the kinetic energy of electrons via wave-particle interactions is determined as follows:
where m0 is the electron rest mass, c is the speed of light, γ is the relativistic factor, t is time, q is the charge of electrons, E is the instantaneous electric field vector of plasma waves, ν is the electron velocity, and θ is the relative phase between E and ν. The positive qE(t)⋅ν(t) indicates the acceleration of particles by waves, while the negative qE(t)⋅ν(t) means the growth of waves. The relative phase θ determines the direction of energy flow.
Recently, an innovative method for direct measurement of E⋅ν has been proposed [Fukuhara et al., 2009]. Based on this idea, S-WPIA directly calculates the relative phase θ for each event of particle detection by the onboard particle instruments. S-WPIA has the capability to identify the fraction in the v-θ phase space. The fraction corresponds to the so-called electron hole, which is theoretically expected [Omura et al., 2008]. Thus S-WPIA will quantitatively discriminate which electrons contribute to chorus generation and which electrons are actually accelerated by chorus waves. This will be the first observation to unambiguously identify how energy conversion takes place via wave-particle interactions in space.
Figure 1 schematically shows the data processing of S-WPIA onboard the ERG satellite. All velocity vectors v of particles caught by the particle detector as well as the waveforms E observed by the plasma wave receiver are stored in the onboard memory on the real-time basis. The onboard CPU reads out the stored data from the onboard memory and calculates the phase between a velocity vector and the corresponding instantaneous amplitude. Once the data are sorted according to θ, the distribution of the number of counts can be obtained as shown in Figure 1a. On the other hand, the time variation of ΣE⋅ν provides important information on the energy exchange due to wave-particle interactions. We can compare the energy exchange depending on different pitch angles (Figure 1b).


Artificial intelligence is growing widely and developing to a large extent. In Africa, universities are creating and empowering in the educational sector. Ai should be highly recommended and introduced in all universities in Africa, the government should focus more on working for the development of Ai because it can render good services to teachers via search and can help concentrate more on educating students.
The migration of pre-colonial Africans depends on seasons for the purpose of fertile soil, the cause of this made education not to be fully organised in pre-colonial Africa. They were dependant on learning their own tribe, values, socialization and responsibilities.
Image result for 6 Reason Why AI Should Be Introduced In University In Africa
Since 1960s there have been different artificial technologies in sub-Saharan African. Artificial intelligence is growing widely and developing to a large extent. In Africa, universities are creating and empowering in the educational sector.
The reasons AI should be introduced more in Africa universities follow.
1.Enhance research in education; there is a need to grow talent. Application of Ai can help students understand more about technology. Its aim is to create real-world intelligent system s where leading scientist and engineers are practised and knowledge is carried out.
This process can help understand more about technology. School of chemistry deployed new Ai research initiative for Africa ( wits university Johannesburg, south Africa) in association with cirrus. Google also opened its first lab in Ghana
2. Improve Student Learning Ability: people learn and understand in different ways, some likely learn fast. The introduction of artificial intelligence in schools can help instructions focus more on understanding the weakness and strength of a student. The Watson tutor (IBM) this technology is a platform that involves machine learning with the use of natural language. A mode of learning through artificial intelligence in the educational sector
3. Acquiring all round skills: Ai can help students acquire new skills. Application of artificial intelligence can not only help student focus on just one still it also enable students to live their full potential through social entrepreneurship and digital innovation. Some students have good potential. All services can render technological skills in Africa universities. This is one inspiring way to create a better world for Africa.
4. Make Teaching Fun: this can motivate the ability to learn fast and manage mental wellbeing. For example, with the use of Chatbot to perform task. Chatbot is an easy way of learning that interacts with students. Students are now offered a quick way it gets valuable information's. This has made learning fun and less stressful
5. Enhance Students Experience: Ai increases learning opportunity. The Stanford University report explains how Ai will help in the educational sector a few years from now by using data analytics to address issues facing universities, figuring out students who are at risk of failure or dropping out. It also stated that ai is promising to improve education in all level
6. Prepare Instructors For A Higher Educational Teaching : Ai tool that can assist instructors to teach students. Ai has introduced many interesting way of education all around the globe.
This is just its beginning of innovation. The aim is not to take over humans, but rather to assist and make the world a better place. Subjectively, I'd plead to the administrators around African to enhance the use of Ai in all universities in Africa
Lastly, students should learn more about algorithms and the use of Ai in decision making. Doing this will not only benefit a student but will also assist Africa to become a better place if Ai is fully deployed in the educational sector

bread crumb spongeArticle Free Pass
bread crumb sponge, (Halichondria panicea), member of the class Demospongiae (phylum Porifera), so called because of the way in which it crumbles when handled. H. panicea is a common sponge that encrusts hard substrata and seaweed on the shore and in shallow subtidal regions. Varying in colour from dark green to light yellow, it is frequently found in shaded crevices or under overhangs. Its surface is characterized by numerous conical protuberances, each with a hole at the top. Rhythmic beating of whiplike hairs (flagella) situated on the inner body wall draws water in through minute pores in the body surface. Oxygen and food particles are extracted from the water, which is then driven out through the holes at the top of the conical protuberances.

Scanning Microscopy
The kinetics of calcium phosphate crystal growth at the surfaces of proteins and phospholipids has been investigated using free drift and constant composition methods in supersaturated calcium phosphate solutions (relative supersaturations: with respect to hydroxyapatite, HAP, σHAP = 15.0, and with respect to octacalcium phosphate, OCP, σOCP = 1. 9). Fibrinogen and collagen molecules adsorbed at hydrophobic surfaces as well as uncross-linked collagen fibrils induce ion binding and subsequent nucleation of calcium phosphate. The formation of OCP on phosphatidylserine vesicles introduced to highly supersaturated calcium phosphate solutions probably involves the interaction of the calcium ions with the ionized carboxylic groups of the phospholipid.

Most commonly encountered backgrounds in re-skimming jobs will need no pre-treatment before using our Thistle UniFinish. However there are a few that will need some preparation first and a very small number where Thistle UniFinish is not suitable even with pre-treatment.
Backgrounds requiring no pre-treatment:
All backgrounds need checking to see that they are clean, sound and free from dust. After checking this, no pre-treatment is needed for:
- Most paints, including matt, silk, vinyl, eggshell emulsions, kitchen/bathroom paint
- Walls stripped of wallpaper (with minimal wallpaper adhesive remaining)
- Painted texture compounds
- Undercoat plaster, except if very high suction (see below)
- Skim finish plaster
- Tile adhesive
Some preparation or pre-treatment is needed for:
- Very dirty backgrounds
- Loose or friable surfaces – these need to be stripped back to a sound surface. Loose layers can be identified by a hollow sound when tapped, and friable surfaces are problematic if it is possible to keep rubbing dust off them by hand. After stripping them back, the sound surface can then be assessed – in many cases the required plaster thickness will necessitate dubbing out, patching or complete re-plastering with a new undercoat before refinishing.
- Extremely high suction backgrounds – e.g. some lime-based or sand/cement backgrounds – these need suction control, which can be done with one application of Thistle GypPrime (diluted as required – it is intended to soak in and block pores within the background, not to remain at the surface). PVA may also be suitable. If this suction control is not done and the first application of Thistle UniFinish crazes severely, the suction should be controlled before continuing. For tips on dealing with more mild suction however see below.
Unsuitable backgrounds include:
- Unpainted texture compounds – these can soften significantly when wetted, leading to adhesion failure within the compound or of the whole compound layer from the original substrate
- Self-cleaning or anti-graffiti paints – these are often designed to not fully harden, or to have a deliberately water-repellent or weak surface layer so that materials that stick to them are removed easily, so they are not suitable for plastering
- Surfaces where there is flaking or delamination between layers, and poorly bonded, friable or dusty surfaces – clearly there is a high risk of failure unless such materials are removed
- Unpainted Artex and other texture compounds
What about backgrounds not listed here?
Our recommendations and advice come from controlled testing and "real-world" trials across many sites and situations. In re-skimming work, other backgrounds will inevitably occur but we have not experienced them often enough to have sufficient data to support a clear recommendation. All we can suggest is that customers apply common sense and caution – e.g. it may be appropriate to test a small area in some cases, and to remember that it is not enough that Thistle UniFinish adheres to the surface itself – the whole system of previous layers needs to be stable and to hold together during and after refinishing. If there is doubt about whether it will, then removal or overboarding with a system like GypLyner UNIVERSAL should be considered.
What about painted Artex and other texture compounds?
If painted they are probably suitable, but note the following:
- They still need to be checked for cleanliness and soundness
- Deep texture patterns will be more difficult to cover than shallow patterns
- Scraping the peaks off a deep texture before plastering is not recommended for two reasons: 1) if the compound is old enough it may contain asbestos and 2) scraping removes all paint from small areas, exposing unpainted compound
- While Thistle UniFinish will adhere to the painted surface, no-one can guarantee that failure within or between earlier layers won't occur, e.g. between texture compound and the original substrate, when more weight of plaster is applied.

How does my computer know that it is connected to the internet ?
The answer is surprisingly simple for Windows computers. It attempts to connect to
NOTE: This address has been updated to starting with Windows 10, version 1607
If it receives a HTTP 200 (if it receives the text "Microsoft NCSI" in the file) then you are on the internet – if it does not receive this text then you receive the warning symbol on the network item in the system notification area.
So, if you don't have internet connectivity but need your computer to think you have for some reason (because a piece of sofwtare requires it for a lab or some toher reason) then yuo can simply create your own version of the abve site and file using your internal servers and DNS and fool your computers into thinking that they are indeed internet connected.

The generating function of the sequence that represents the number of graph vertices at a given distance from the root is called the spherical growth function of the rooted graph. This mathematical notion is first applied to finite and infinite graphs representing _n_helicenes, the simplest nonplanar unbranched catacondensed benzenoid hydrocarbons. The calculation of growth function is then generalized to graphs that have an arbitrary connected graph in place of each hexagon and therefore represent a subclass of fasciagraphs. Also, the connection between the growth function of a finite graph and its Wiener index is established.

The influence of the air high moisture content of air compressor
by：Atlas Greenair Screw Air Compressor 2021-01-29
Users in general, the air compressor into the air moisture content the indicators are concerned with compressed air, the water content of the finished product working environment of air moisture content may not get enough attention, in fact, air moisture content on the machine can produce very big effect, moisture content is too high will produce harm is as follows: 1, the volumetric efficiency of the air; 2, air moisture air compression narrow pathways, thus increasing the air flow resistance; 3, wet air, less than the same volume of weight of dry air. When the compressed air after cooler air tank and piping most of the water vapor is frozen, so the weight calculation of production capacity will drop; 4, the moisture in the air because of containing metal ions, such as ion of Yin and Yang, has higher corrosion resistance, the air compressor of spare parts and pneumatic machine is easy to rust, shorten its service life; 5, the moisture in the air in the compression process after mixed with oil, reduce lubrication efficiency, increase the parts ( Such as rotor) Wear and tear, not only in the glue with circulation lubrication packing can lead to bad sealing, and makes lubricating oil metamorphism; 6, go against machine is compressed, the air compressor in the part of the spare parts and pneumatic mechanical suffered from the impact of water, if the cylinder and the excessive water cooler storage, also can cause the damage of the spare parts of air compressor; 7, air supply system with water, if the temperature below zero degrees centigrade, water will freeze in the duct wall, in the same way, make narrow diameter. Worse, sometimes even cause individual piping completely frozen, hinder the individual section of the work. Therefore, the quality of the compressed air is not only determined by its pressure, at the same time, it is determined by its humidity. That is some air high water content will influence on the air compressor, for your reference.
