Background: There is much controversy about the use of computed tomography (CT) for patients with minor head injury. We aimed to develop a highly sensitive clinical decision rule for use of CT in patients with minor head injuries.
Methods: We carried out this prospective cohort study in the emergency departments of ten large Canadian hospitals and included consecutive adults who presented with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 13-15 after head injury. We did standardised clinical assessments before the CT scan. The main outcome measures were need for neurological intervention and clinically important brain injury on CT.
Findings: The 3121 patients had the following characteristics: mean age 38.7 years); GCS scores of 13 (3.5%), 14 (16.7%), 15 (79.8%); 8% had clinically important brain injury; and 1% required neurological intervention. We derived a CT head rule which consists of five high-risk factors (failure to reach GCS of 15 within 2 h, suspected open skull fracture, any sign of basal skull fracture, vomiting >2 episodes, or age >65 years) and two additional medium-risk factors (amnesia before impact >30 min and dangerous mechanism of injury). The high-risk factors were 100% sensitive (95% CI 92-100%) for predicting need for neurological intervention, and would require only 32% of patients to undergo CT. The medium-risk factors were 98.4% sensitive (95% CI 96-99%) and 49.6% specific for predicting clinically important brain injury, and would require only 54% of patients to undergo CT.
Interpretation: We have developed the Canadian CT Head Rule, a highly sensitive decision rule for use of CT. This rule has the potential to significantly standardise and improve the emergency management of patients with minor head injury.

Unilever Gets Approval to Buy Sara Lee Unit
Consumer goods companyUnilever (UL) won approval from the European Union to buy Sara Lee Corp's (SLE) shower gel and European detergents business.
Unilever agreed to sell off the Sanex deodorant and body-wash brands in the region as part of the deal, Bloomberg News reported. The sale allays competition worries about the 1.3 billion euro ($1.76 billion) deal, the European Commission said.
"We had to ensure that the transaction would not lead to increased prices for consumers," Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said. "As Unilever offered a strong and clear- cut remedy to address the competition concerns in a number of deodorant markets, the commission was able to clear the merger."
The European antitrust agency said that consumers might have faced higher prices if Unilever combined the Sanex brand with its own Dove and Rexona brands.
The approval allows Unilever to add important brands to its "key growth category" of home and personal care, according to Doug Baillie, the Unilever president for Western Europe.

Stephen King's gotta have it!
Stephen King's gotta have it!
Columnist's note: Unlike most of my columns, the following was written without the aid of search engines. A person should not need Google to keep track of his obsessions.
Definition of pop dope: It's what you gotta have. You can lay off for a while — the way I can lay off McDonald's for a while — but eventually the craving kicks back in and you gotta gobble. You find yourself in front of the TV with the clicker in your hand, or at the local cineplex, cold sweat on your forehead. Take Transformers. It's a forthcoming Michael Bay movie — but my fellow addicts already know that. Most of Bay's body of work has had the cinematic nutritive value of a Cheez Doodle pizza, but still I'm nuts to see that movie. Gonna be first in line. More: Gonna get a box of Junior Mints and a big popcorn with a double dose of that monkey sweat the theater chains do not quite dare call butter, then salt the frak out of that beauty. Gonna sit dead center in the third row, where the Dolby intersects. Got my time and treats all marked out, y'see. Because it's pop dope.
This season's biggest pop dope: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. No doubt. You know it, I know it, the world knows it. Ordinarily I can get any book early by promising to review it, but when it comes to Harry, nobody gets it early. So I'll be in line with everyone else, but I can push little kids out of my way, because I'm bigger. Size and age, that's my edge. And you're going, "Would you really push a little kid to get the new Harry Potter, Uncle Stevie? Surely not!" I won't cop to it — maybe I'm just playin' witcha — but I do have an "I'd walk over you to see the Who" shirt. And besides: You gotta have what you gotta have when it comes to pop dope. These are the Quarter Pounders of the soul we're talking about, Big Macs of the mind, cheese fries of the imagination.
I may think people who dress up as aliens at Star Wars conventions are dorks, but I've already got the date the Will Smith version of I Am Legend opens marked on my calendar. And I'm writing this just 11 hours before the final installment of The Sopranos. I don't have to say any more about that, except that if faccia di merda Paulie Walnuts doesn't go down, I'm going to write David Chase a letter of complaint.
No addict waiting for the Man ever waited more patiently than I did for Scott Smith's second novel (the first, A Simple Plan, was published in 1993). Finally I was rewarded with The Ruins. I didn't just buy it; I scored that sucker. Last year, while reading what seemed like thousands of short stories (I was editing an anthology of them), I came across Scott Snyder's remarkable collection, Voodoo Heart. That was excellent pop dope. So now I'm waiting for a novel, and chortling because the guy's so young. He's capable of producing stuff I can crave for the rest of my life.
But it's TV that's been the most reliable purveyor of pop dope in the last few years, and it illustrates one of the shiniest facets of entertainment addiction: Even when the stuff's bad, you keep buying, hoping this time you'll get some of the primo stuff that hooked you. Remember the spectacular second season of 24, when President Palmer (the believable President Palmer) and Jack Bauer (the believable Jack Bauer) were trying to keep the believable terrorists from blowing up L.A.? I got that season on DVD and sat there in front of my TV hour after hour, slamming in new discs and hoping that Jack would whack the abusive father who was terrorizing Kim. Last season's 24 was only a pale imitation, but I'll be back next year, hoping for a return to the good stuff: more thrills, less filler.
And sometimes you get the good stuff. Take Battlestar Galactica. Excellent pop dope! I've been downloading season 3 from iTunes at a faster and faster clip, sending them over to my TV by way of some agreeable Macintosh juju, and then pigging out. I know one of the major characters dies, but not which one. My money's on that tough old geezer with the eye patch. And yes, I really think about these things. Maybe I shouldn't, I'm sure it's not cool, but I can't help it. Pop dope, baby. It gets into your brain and just simmers.
Also, the pusher sometimes gives up a little extra. More Jericho episodes, for instance. Radical!, as we used to say in the glory days of my youth, when I stood for 45 minutes in the pouring rain, waiting to buy a ticket to see Bonnie and Clyde.
And hey, there are worse obsessions than the pop cult — believe me, I know. A good popular entertainment can brighten life with anticipation before and spark hours of good conversation afterward. There are a hundred other examples — we haven't even touched on Heroes and Lost — but I must check my favorite Sopranos websites. Only 10 hours to go until the final episode. Of course, at 10 p.m. tonight it'll be over…or will it? If Tony survives (I'm betting he will), there's always the possibility of a movie. In the meantime, though, I've got to check those sites. Today that's my job.
There's nothing like a good obsession to help a person keep his priorities straight.
What's your pop dope? Tell us your obsessions below.

Beyoncé Says "Giving Zero F*cks" About Her Physical Appearance Revealed Her "Beauty Within"
Beyoncé's Elle Interview on Body Positivity
December 12, 2019 by Chanel Vargas First Published: December 9, 2019
Beyoncé has been one of the biggest names in the public eye for 25 years, and being in the limelight has taught her that no one's opinion about her body matters more than her own. In an interview with Elle magazine to discuss her Ivy Park x Adidas collection, Beyoncé said the changes her body has been through over the last two decades have taught her that it's the beauty within that matters most.
"If someone told me 15 years ago that my body would go through so many changes and fluctuations, and that I would feel more womanly and secure with my curves, I would not have believed them," Beyoncé said. "But children and maturity have taught me to value myself beyond my physical appearance and really understand that I am more than enough no matter what stage I'm at in life. Giving zero f*cks is the most liberating place to be. Also knowing true beauty is something you cannot see. I wish more people focused on discovering the beauty within themselves rather than critiquing other folks' grills."
When it comes to taking care of her body, Beyoncé said she's learned to shift her focus to caring for herself physically and emotionally. "The name of the [Ivy Park] brand comes from where I built my strength and endurance as a young woman," she said. "I ran and trained in the park, and that state of mind has stayed with me all these years later. It's the first place where I learned to listen to my body. Many of us grew up seeing our parents act as if they were superheroes. Most women have been conditioned to ignore symptoms and just 'tough it out' and focus on taking care of everyone else before themselves. I am no longer one of those people."
Ashley Graham on Propelling Her Career — and a Movement — by Simply Embracing Her Body
The mother of three added that she has also learned to dedicate more time to focusing on her mental and physical health after the birth of her twins, Rumi and Sir Carter. "After having a difficult pregnancy, I took a year to focus on my health," she said. "I have researched information on homeopathic medicines. I don't just put any prescription in my body. My diet is important, and I use tools like acupuncture, meditation, visualization, and breathing exercises."
Nowadays, Beyoncé still gets countless unsolicited opinions about her body, but she knows her own perception of herself is what's truly important. "Yes, I'm human. In moments of vulnerability, I try to remind myself I'm strong and I'm built for this," she said. "Thank God most of the noise bounces off of me after all of these years."

If you have questions about the Harry Winston collection regarding a watch or availability, send us your information below and we will respond to you shortly. For immediate assistance, please call us at 877-678-8463.
HARRY WINSTON honors Mr. Winston's legacy of creativity and innovation, by developing timepieces that complement the extraordinary design and craftsmanship of the House's legendary jewels. Launched in 1989, Harry Winston's debut timepiece collection, the Premier Collection, helped revolutionize mechanical watchmaking with the introduction of the world's first Biretrograde Perpetual Calendar. This focus on innovation helped to propel the House to the forefront of fine watchmaking and set the precedent for many groundbreaking complications, including the Histoire de Tourbillon, a masterpiece dedicated to one of the most complex horological complications, and the series of Harry Winston Opus watches, which continues to revolutionize the art of telling time.
Continuing its commitment to creativity and cutting innovation, in 2004, Harry Winston introduced fine watchmaking to a revolutionary new material known as Zalium. Far scarcer and stronger than titanium, and known for its extreme durability, corrosion-resistance, and non-allergenic properties the zirconium-based alloy is used in the development of the Project Z series and remains exclusive to Harry Winston in watchmaking.
Dedicated to preserving and perfecting the traditions of fine watchmaking, Harry Winston opened a state of the art Manufacture in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2007. True to Mr. Winston's lifelong pursuit of "only the exceptional," each incredible timepiece created today - whether a Harry Winston diamond watch handcrafted in the world's finest diamonds or pushing the extremes of high horology - is crafted with the highest quality materials, combining the inimitable style of the House, with the finest traditions of fine Swiss watchmaking.
Authorized Dealer of Harry Winston watches located in Bergen County, New Jersey.
The Timepiece Collection is a Harry Winston authorized dealer in Bergen County, New Jersey with an excellent assortment of Harry Winston watches and chronographs such as the Harry Winston Premier Collection and Ocean Collections for men and women.
As a Harry Winston authorized dealer, The Timepiece Collection has an extensive selection of Harry Winston watches available in our Bergen county showroom. Located in the picturesque city Englewood, New Jersey, we are very close to New York City, just a 10 minute drive from the George Washington Bridge and Manhattan, NY.

Most Republican senators (except Mike Lee) appeared to believe pretty much the same thing: that Paul was needlessly holding up regular congressional business in the face of another government shutdown purely in the name of self-promotion.
Was Paul's "stunt" to his political advantage? Sure. There was a lot of conservative support for his stance (it might shock some to learn this, but most of what elected representatives do usually has something to do with gaining support). But it's also intellectually dishonest to dismiss Paul's act as mere self-promotion when you consider that so many voices across the ideological spectrum seemed to agree that yes, the senator was essentially right about everything he was saying.
Much backup was given from both conservative and liberal perspectives about Paul's rightness on Republicans' about-face on spending, with most of these takes separating the senator's larger point from whether or not one agreed with holding up the bill.
So, if many agreed that Paul was right, who was wrong?
The bulk of the Republican Party.
Mitch McConnell. Paul Ryan. Marco Rubio. Even Ted Cruz. Every Republican who ever criticized Obama and the Democrats' spending or warned about looming debt. Every single Republican who ever took credit for forcing Congress to automatically cap defense spending in 2011 (and then voted to ditch those caps last week). Every single Republican who once blasted a Democratic president's annual deficits and then voted early Friday for a budget even larger than any of Obama's.
So, who has been grandstanding, exactly? A senator who held a mirror up to his own party for a few hours Thursday night? Or a Republican Party that refuses to acknowledge the fact that they have now abandoned their former opposition to reckless spending — a podium they pounded for 10 years?
The Cambridge Dictionary defines "grandstanding" as "acting or speaking in a way intended to attract attention and to influence the opinion of people who are watching." Of course Paul wanted to attract everyone's attention. He wanted as many people as possible to understand what a bunch of hypocrites Republicans are.
But those Republicans have wanted attention too — and for a hell of a lot longer. Since the Tea Party movement began at the end of George W. Bush's presidency and the beginning of Obama's, Republicans have sought votes by vowing to bring fiscal responsibility to Washington. When they couldn't achieve this, they would blame Democrats. As Timpf, Cillizza and others have noted, if Republicans had an identity throughout the last Democratic administration, opposing Obama and his party was it.
Why wouldn't Paul have pointed this out last week? How could he or any honest Republican have possibly ignored it?
Republicans need pushing, constantly. Last week's Senate vote warrants a GOP pummeling in the mid-terms.
And if that happens, the Grandstanding Old Party will deserve every bit of it.

Genevieve Gorder & Allstate Raise Money For STEM Kids NYC
Do you know much about your digital footprint? Check out Genevieve Gorder's "digital safety makeover" that supports STEM Kids NYC and get informed!
By Katarina Avendaño
Genevieve Gorder, star of TLC's Trading Spaces and Netflix's Stay Here, has opted to getting the makeover of the century from STEM Kids NYC by letting them track her online presence and digital footprint in this video, made with the help of Allstate; learning about our digital footprint is not only important for adults, but is also important when considering children's online safety.
Technology is quickly evolving, but that doesn't mean that our safety knowledge can't be up-to-date as well, especially since adults are not the only ones who use technology. Children are also immersed in it at home and even at school: "They are all on their iPads and phones, even before they can form full paragraphs of words—they are vulnerable," Gorder says. "A kid can click on it and be taken on the dark side very quickly. It is something as a parent that we are learning every day because we didn't grow up with this tech …Imagine having the world in the palm of your hand and you are 8."
That is why Gorder is excited to work with Allstate and STEM Kids NYC, an organization dedicated to building STEM skills among young scholars and showing its importance in the world. This group of kids gives Gorder her "digital safety makeover" in this video to support coding and promote digital safety. For every like, share, or comment, from now until November 14, Allstate will be donating $1 toward STEM Kids NYC—up to $50,000—to support tech safety and coding. "I think that Allstate is bringing awareness that this is something that we need to pay attention to, and how we go about doing that in each avenue," Gorder says. "[In the video,] the kids are pretty much going to dissect me today, my life, and how I am doing, what am I doing wrong, and what am I doing well."
As a busy parent and professional designer, Gorder can't tackle her digital safety alone. That is why she believes it is necessary to invest in essential protective systems that will help keep herself and family safe when online. "It is like having an alarm in your house so that you are not having to watch every window and door all night, right? It is too much, you can't do it all, so I think that it is investing in partners who just provide security for that," Gorder comments.
One of the first steps that needs to be accomplished is to educate parents on digital safety. "Adults need to learn first how to protect their own assets and get the information. Once we have the information, we can set up the barriers for everybody and everything in the house. But the kids should know what is at stake too. It is important to have a little bit of awareness there and not to be in the dark," explains Gorder. "So how to do it? How to pioneer a kind of a safety net around it is kind of up to my generation. But there is a little bit of fear that needs to be instilled, in my opinion, to protect themselves but also having all sorts of parental locks on every device in the house."
Another great tool that parents can use to be in the know is Hidden World of Data. This website gives you detailed information on how to manage your digital usage, it even offers a quiz to see the size of your digital footprint. Becoming more aware of what we do on the web and the measures we take will help protect our children in these darker areas online: "It's like someone crossing the street or walking alone down the sidewalk at night when it's too late," Gorder says. The internet is one more place that many of us overlook when we think about safety. That is why it is important today to be educated on digital safety so that you can be safe as a whole family.

Efficacy of entomopathogenic nematode isolates from Turkey and Kyrgyzstan against the larvae of the mosquito species Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae) under laboratory conditions
Seyma Toksoz1 &
Islam Saruhan1
Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are among the most important of the pests in urban entomology, and they not only disturb people but they are also an important health hazard as they are diseases' vectors. The biological control methods against this pest, which is difficult to fight off, have recently gained importance. A total of five different entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), Steinernema feltiae (Aydın isolate), S. carpocapsae (Karadeniz isolate), and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Aydın isolate) isolated from Turkey and S. feltiae (KG3) and H. bacteriophora (KG81) isolated from Kyrgyzstan, were tested against the mosquito species Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae) larvae under laboratory conditions. The experimental nematode suspensions were determined as 500, 1000, and 1500 IJs ml−1. The mortality rates in the trial were recorded after 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h. Dead mosquitoes were dissected under a microscope and confirmed to have died by the EPNs. Larval mortality was observed in all EPN species compared to the control group. H. bacteriophora (KG81) and S. carpocapsae isolates were found to be the most effective isolates with 100% larval mortality. The other isolates were H. bacteriophora (Aydın isolate) (70%), S. feltiae (KG3) (66.67%), and the most ineffective isolate S. feltiae (Aydın isolate) (13.3%).
Pests in urban entomology can be described as insects that affect human health. Insects in urban entomology include cockroaches, ants, termites, houseflies, ticks, insects and mites, bedbugs, lice, and mosquitoes (Robinson 2005).
Mosquitoes are one of the most important urban pests that belong to the Culicidae family of the Nematocera suborder. These pests are found in temperate and tropical regions of the world, except the polar regions (Lancaster and Briers 2008). These pests not only disturb people but they are also an important health hazard as diseases' vectors that spread malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and an important virus of the recent years Zika (Epstein et al. 1998). There are 112 genera and 3539 species belonging to the Anophelinae and Culicinae subfamilies of the Culicidae family (Harbach 2014). About 50 species of mosquitoes have been identified in Turkey until today (Muslu et al. 2011). Six mosquito species, including Culex pipiens Linnaeus, 1758; C. martini Medschid, 1930; C. deserticola Kirkpatrick, 1924; Aedes caspius Pallas, 1771; Anopheles superpictus Grassi, 1899; and Culiseta longiareolata Macquart, 1838, were found in Antalya; the dominant type was identified as C. pipiens (Çetin and Yanıkoğlu 2004).
Control methods against mosquitos' larvae include mechanical, biological, chemical, and an integrated approach where all of the above are used (Alten and Çağlar 1998). The chemical control targeted both larvae and adults, but larvae being the important ones. These pests live in water at all stages, except the adult stage. Today, insecticides used as larvicides are of biological origin, but they are very limited in number. Because of the environmental problems caused by insecticides and the effects of non-target organisms, alternative methods of combating these pests are sought. For a sustainable environment, the importance of biological control is increasing among these applications. But unfortunately, the high price of these biological agents at the moment makes it difficult for their broader implementation in the systems of production (Laznik and Trdan 2011).
One of the most successful groups of biological agents for controlling soil insect pests is the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the families Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae. Nematodes in both families are obligate insect-parasitic organisms that are mutualistically associated with bacteria from the genera Photorhabdus (heterorhabditids) and Xenorhabdus (steinernematids), which are carried within the nematode digestive tracts (Kaya and Gaugler 1993). Nematodes in the infective juvenile (IJ) stages search for an adequate host in the soil and enter the insect host through natural openings (mouth, anus, and spiracles) or through the cuticle. The symbiotic bacteria are then released into the insect hemocoel (Dowds and Peters 2002) at which point the bacteria multiply and produce toxins. The nematodes also contribute to this process, and insect host is killed within 48 h by septicemia and toxemia (Kaya and Stock 1997; Duchaud et al. 2003). Once nutrients within the insect cadaver are exhausted, progeny nematodes develop into the IJ stages and emerge from the cadaver into the soil to search for another host (Griffin et al. 2005). A total of 86 species of EPN have been identified worldwide (64 belonging to Steinernema, 1 to Neosteinernema, and 21 to Heterorhabditis) (Kepenekci 2014).
The first EPN belonging to the genus Steinernema, detected in Turkey, in soil samples collected from Rize (Turkey), was identified by Özer et al. (1995) as S. feltiae. Kepenekci et al. (1999) identified the first nematode in Turkey from the genus Heterorhabditis as H. bacteriophora, which was found in an Aelia population (Aelia rostrata Boh.) collected from Ekecik (Aksaray, Turkey) winter quarters. To utilize EPNs in the biological control of pathogens in Turkey, the principal species and hosts, present, should be determined. Although several surveys have been conducted on this subject, there is not yet sufficient information (Kepenekci and Atay 2014).
Narksuwan et al. (2004) tested the EPNs S. carpocapsae (Weiser), S. siamkayai, S. feltiae, H. indica, and H. bacteriophora against Aedes aegypti (L.), Culex quinquefasciatus, C. gelidus, Anopheles dirus, and A. minimus mosquito species, and all of them were successfully suppressed A. aegypti (L.), C. quinquefasciatus, C. gelidus species (Edmunds et al. 2017). Kepenekci et al. (2014) evaluated the efficacy of S. feltiae, S. carpocapsae, S. kraussei, and H. bacteriophora against Chironomidae family members in their study. They determined that these EPN species could survive for up to 96 h in water and even after that they could parasitize the larvae of Chironomus plumosus. They caused more than 20% mortality after 24 h.
In this study, efficacy of five EPN species, isolated from Kyrgyzstan and Turkey, was evaluated against C. pipiens larvae collected from the stagnant waters in paddy fields at Samsun (Turkey)'s Bafra province under laboratory conditions.
The experiment was carried out at the Entomology Laboratory of Ondokuz Mayıs University (Samsun, Turkey). Five different EPN species were applied to the larvae of C. pipiens. The experiment was carried out in six replications and two repetitions.
Nematode sources
Five Turkish and Kyrgyz EPN isolates, Steinernema feltiae (Aydin isolate) from a vegetable garden in Aydın, S. carpocapsae (Karadeniz isolate) from a grassland in Rize, and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Aydın isolate) from a peach orchard in Aydın (Turkey), were obtained from the Entomopathogenic Nematode Laboratory of Adnan Menderes University (Aydın, Turkey). S. feltiae (KG3) from an apricot orchard in Talas and H. bacteriophora (KG81) from a potato field in Tokmok (Kyrgyzstan) were also obtained from the Nematology and Taxonomy Laboratory of Gaziosmanpaşa University (Tokat, Turkey).
Production of nematodes
Last instar larvae of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella L., Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) was used to culture the nematodes at room temperature (23–24 °C) as described by Kaya and Stock (1997). The new-generation IJs emerged from cadavers were harvested from nematode-infected larvae which were placed on white traps (White 1927). IJs were collected and rinsed three times in sterile distilled water. Using a tetrapack juice box, each species was kept separately before refrigerating at 10 °C (Gülcü and Hazir 2012). The harvested IJs were used within 2 weeks after emergence for the experiments.
Production of Culex pipiens
Third and fourth larval instars of C. pipiens were collected from the stagnant water deposits in paddy fields located in the province of Bafra in Samsun (Turkey). The larvae were placed into 10 × 10 × 10 cm containers and 10 larvae were placed in each one. The larvae were fed fishmeal to survive. Identification of mosquitoes brought to the laboratory was carried out by Prof. Dr. İzzet AKÇA (Ondokuz Mayıs University, Samsun, Turkey).
Bioassay
Each EPN species was applied at three concentrations (500, 1000, and 1500 IJs ml−1) (approximately 7.5, 15, and 30 IJs cm2) at 25 °C temperatures. One milliliter of distilled water without nematode was used as control. Each plastic container contained moistened filter paper on the bottom. The studies were conducted at the Entomological Laboratory of Ondokuz Mayıs Univ. in Samsun. Plastic containers were placed in incubators adjusted at 25 ± 1 °C temperatures and 90 ± 5% R.H. The data for mortality was recorded after 24-, 48-, 72-, 96-, and 120-h intervals. Dead insects were dissected under a stereomicroscope to verify that they were killed by the nematodes.
One-way ANOVA was used to compare mortality rates of C. pipiens treatments. Means were compared at the P < 0.05 level, and Tukey's test was used to separate means. Serial time-mortality data from bioassays were analyzed by probit analysis program (SPSS, Version 21) to calculate 50% lethal concentration (LC50) and 90% lethal concentration (LC90).
The efficacy of five different EPN isolates and three EPN species [Steinernema feltiae (Aydın isolate), S. carpocapsae (Karadeniz isolate), and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Aydın isolate) isolated from Turkey and S. feltiae (KG3) and H. bacteriophora (KG81) from Kyrgyzstan] on C. pipiens was determined. When counts were taken 24 h after inoculation of the EPNs, H. bacteriophora (KG81) 1500 ml−1 was found to have the highest effect (43.33%). The difference was statistically significant when compared to the control and other concentrations, while no deaths were observed in any concentration of the S. feltiae (Aydın isolate) and in the control group. Deaths in other isolates and concentrations were observed at different rates. After 48 h from inoculation, it was determined that the most effective concentrations and preparations were H. bacteriophora (KG81) 1500 ml−1 (56.67%), followed by the same isolates 500 ml−1 (40.00%), S. carpocapsae (Karadeniz isolate) 1000 ml−1, and S. feltiae (KG3) 500 ml−1 (33.33%). After 72 h, a mortality rate of up to 90% was determined. H. bacteriophora (KG81) (500 ml−1) was found to be the most effective concentration and preparation. Very little efficacy was determined in all the concentrations of S. feltiae (Aydın isolate) isolate. The first 100% mortality rate was recorded 96 h post treatment at the concentration of 1500 ml− 1 for S. carpocapsae (Karadeniz isolate) isolate which was determined to be the most effective one, followed by 500, 1000, and 1500 ml−1 concentrations of the H. bacteriophora (KG81), respectively. According to the results obtained by the end of the experiment (120 h), 100% mortality rate at the concentration of 1500 ml−1 for S. carpocapsae (Karadeniz isolate) and for H. bacteriophora (KG81) at concentrations 500, 1000, and 1500 ml−1 was found. This was followed by isolates and a concentration of 1500 ml−1 for H. bacteriophora and S. feltiae, respectively. The lowest mortality rate was determined at 500 ml−1, 1000 ml−1 and 1500 ml−1 concentrations of S. feltiae (Aydın isolate) isolate. At least 50% mortality rate was detected in other concentrations and preparations (Table 1). In addition, the mortality rates at the LC50 and LC90 values are shown in Table 2.
Table 1 Effect of entomopathogenic nematode isolates on mortality of Culex pipiens
Table 2 LC50 and LC90 for Culex pipiens treated with entomopathogenic nematode isolates
As a result, the effectiveness of H. bacteriophora (KG81), S. feltiae (KG3), S. feltiae (Aydın isolate), S. carpocapsae (Karadeniz isolate), and H. bacteriophora (Aydın isolate) species against C. pipiens larvae was determined, even if at different rates. Especially after 120 h, 100% mortality rates were recorded.
Chaudhary et al. (2017) found that S. kraussie and H. bacteriophora were the most effective EPNs between 20 and 30 °C in a study on the mortality of A. aegypti in two different concentrations and three different temperature environments. At 100 IJs, concentration of S. kraussie and A. aegypti was found to have 100% mortality at 48 and 96 h. H. bacteriophora was found to have 100% mortality rate at 30 °C with 100 IJs concentration after 96 h. In the present study, the KG81 isolate caused 93.33–96.67% death after 96 h. Oğuzoğlu and Özer (2007) recorded low mortality rate of S. feltiae (Karadeniz isolate) and one isolate belonging to H. bacteriophora, collected from Turkey, on A. aegypti which agrees with the obtained results on C. pipiens. In another study, Peschiutta et al. (2014) analyzed the effectiveness of H. bacteriophora on A. aegypti and found a mortality rate of up to 84%. Obtained data of Kyrgyzstan and Aydın isolates of H. bacteriophora was effective on C. pipiens.
Cagnolo and Almirón (2010) tested six different concentrations of S. rarum (OLI strain) against the larvae of C. apicinus and recorded that the mortality rate increased as the dose increases. They recorded a 75% mortality rate at a 400:1 dose at 25 °C. Pandii et al. (2008) tested S. carpocapsae and H. indica (local Thai strain) against C. gelidus. S. carpocapsae showed more effectiveness than H. indica. In the present study, 100% mortality rate for S. carpocapsae (Karadeniz isolate) was recorded, especially after 96 and 120 h.
In a study evaluating the efficacy of H. bacteriophora, H. indica, S. carpocapsae, and S. feltiae on C. quinquefasciatus, H. bacteriophora and H. indica were successfully inhibited to C. quinquefasciatus, while S. carpocapsae and S. feltiae showed low mortality rate (Zohdy et al. 2013). In the present study, S. feltiae showed low activity against C. pipiens, whereas H. bacteriophora had the highest effect.
Culex pipiens is a well-known species among the mosquitoes found in Turkey. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are among the alternative methods to chemical pesticides that give hopeful results in mosquito control. In recent years, studies regarding these have gained speed around the world as well as in Turkey. The EPNs have been shown to be a fairly good alternative method for controlling C. pipiens. Future field trials are needed to demonstrate their effectiveness under natural conditions.

I have turned up something close at http://www.trainelectronics.com/DCC_Arduino/DCC++/RECEIVER/index.htm however I note that this is using an RF transmitter. My thinking is that RF is fine when there is little radio traffic (eg at home), however this and IMHO the Tam Valley solution would fall over in an exhibition environment. Hence the preference for the Deltang solution, and I gather wi-fi should be very robust as well as mainstream.
I don't understand the logic here. WiFi and Deltang systems are RF systems. So how can you say that "RF is fine when there is little radio traffic"
The cheap nRF24L01+ transceivers use the same 2.4GHz unlicensed frequency band.
At a guess, Simon is referring to the "traditional" RC frequencies, rather than 2.4GHz.
The robustness comes from network protocols, e.g. binding and passwords.
Yup. HC12 Dave Bodnar is using is 433MHz. My understanding is no binding or passwords. And that is the limit of my understanding!
There is a lot of stuff in Reply #104 and rather than make an extensive and repetitive quote I will try to respond to the questions.
I don't see why not. It played some of Donna Summer quite reasonably. I think the question of polyphonic has to do with how it accesses the sound files and I am not an expert on that.
The hand-held device would also need a Deltino inside it - the communication has to be Deltino - Deltino.
How small would the wire be?
What is the capacity of the ones you are currently using?
I am using a Pololu DRV8833 which can take a max of 10.8v and 1.2A continuous. I can't remember if you can parallel the h-bridges for 2.4 amps. I originally bought them to work on a single LiPo cell.
Could that be put onto a single board, or a single processor?
I don't know if it would be reasonable to expect an Attiny1634 to run the wireless communication, control the motor and create the sound.
The idea that radio control in a metal body needs an external antenna keeps cropping up. I generally put the receiver under the roof of the cab, mainly so you can still see the status LED if you have to. The cab windows (and lack of a back panel in some locos) let in plenty of RF and I have never had any problems with using the small antenna fitted to the DelTang receivers.
I'll be putting a Bluetooth speaker in my Easybuild Class 108 and streaming sound from my iPad.
I have to match the running of my trains to the sounds, but it's easy and a lot more convincing than it sounds.
I also investigated using JMRI/VSD to send sounds to Bluetooth speakers and whilst my tests were successful and displayed on this forum in the form of a Youtube video, I soon found that there were serious limitations that would need be be addressed through significant programming resource.
My issues were predominantly to do with speed steps and also I wanted the capability of sending multiple sound samples polyphonically.
I turned my attentions to trying various other modes of transmitting quality sounds to onboard speakers and I have yet to find anything as simple as the methods described in my Sound for the Masses thread referred to in the above link.
I went on to create a Youtube video showing how effective Bluetooth streaming to onboard speakers can be.
The locomotives in the video are obviously not Radio Controlled, but a member of RMweb with a rather high profile garden railway is now using bluetooth sounds transmitted from a tablet whilst controlling the trains with his RC transmitter.

The National Museum of Qatar is a Desert Rose of Extraterrestrial Proportions
Places | Locations | Qatar | The National Museum of Qatar is a Desert Rose of Extraterrestrial Proportions
PLACES | Unusuals
January 29, 2019 Nadine Kahil
The Jean Nouvel-designed National Museum of Qatar opened on March 27th 2019 and it's a stunning celebration of a young Gulf nation's heritage – as well as its future.
Following his widely acclaimed work on the Louvre Abu Dhabi, French starchitect Jean Nouvel is putting his final touches on yet another Middle East behemoth, this one in Doha. Designed and planned under the patronage of the current Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the 40,000 square-metre National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) is meant to provide concrete expression to a young and ambitious nation's identity, relating the physical, human and economic geography of the country, together with its history.
"Qatar has a deep rapport with the desert, with its flora and fauna, its nomadic people, its long traditions. To fuse these contrasting stories, I needed a symbolic element," explains Nouvel. "Eventually, I remembered the phenomenon of the desert rose: crystalline forms, like miniature architectural events, that emerge from the ground through the work of wind, salt water, and sand. The museum that developed from this idea, with its great curved discs, intersections, and cantilevered angles, is a totality, at once architectural, spatial, and sensory."
Made up as it is of interlocking discs, Nouvel's masterpiece clearly does resemble a flower. And, both imposing in scale and yet somehow delicately beautiful, it looks set to mark a new reference point for the design of institutional buildings.
At the new museum's heart lies the restored historic Palace of Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani (1880-1957), son of the founder of modern Qatar, a building that in former times was both the home of the royal family and the seat of government, and was subsequently the site of the original National Museum.
The internal structure of NMoQ takes shape through three 'chapters' – Beginnings, Life in Qatar and Building the Nation. These are then sub-divided into eleven galleries covering a distance of 2.7 kilometres, which begin in the period prior to the human habitation of the peninsula, and continue through an immersive experience that allows visitors to learn about Qatar's ancestors and the formation of early cities, as well the modernisation of its society. Exhibitions will combine historic objects and contemporary influences, opening up a dialogue around the impact of rapid change.
Along with the permanent galleries, the museum contains a 220-seat auditorium, a 70-seat forum and facilities for the storage and conservation of the pieces. A thoroughly modern experience, the site also includes a restaurant, two cafés and a shop.
Of the museum, Sheikha Amna bint Abdulaziz bin Jassim Al Thani, Director of the NMoQ, explained, "At the core of the museum's permanent exhibits, and accessible to the public, is a digital archive of thousands of images, videos, and documents from Qatar and abroad. And all these elements will be made accessible to as many people as possible."
Innovative presentation techniques will help excite audiences and push boundaries. For example, entire walls will become cinematic screens, individual cocoons will hold oral histories and handheld mobile devices will guide people through thematic displays, which include many remarkable pieces, including the 'Pearl Carpet of Baroda' – which was commissioned in 1865, and is embroidered with more than 1.5 million of the highest quality Gulf pearls, and adorned with emeralds, diamonds, and sapphires – as well as manuscripts, documents, photographs, jewellery and costumes.
The NMoQ will also showcase a veritable treasure trove of art, much of it specially commissioned for the project. A piece by Qatari artist Ali Hassan adorns the public entrance, a work by Sheikh Hassan bin Mohammed bin Ali Al Thani welcomes visitors to the galleries and a sculpture by Iraqi artist Ahmed Al Bahrani resides in the museum's caravanserai. There's also a monumental installation by the French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel, which comprises 114 individual fountains set within the lagoon, with their streams designed to evoke the fluid forms of Arabic calligraphy, as well as a sculpture by the Syrian artist Simone Fattal, 'Gates of the Sea', which evokes the petroglyphs found in Qatar at Al Jassasiya.
The museum is an incredible endeavour and it will undoubtedly garner international acclaim when its doors open on March 28th, 2019.

The Loco Moco - a Hawaiian Delicacy?
Ah, the Loco Moco. Take white rice, plop a fried hamburger patty on top (usually well-done), pour brown gravy over everything, and then top it all with a fried egg. What hungry beast designed this dish?
According to the Wiki, "James Kelly, a University of Hawaii-Hilo professor writes that the loco moco dish was created in 1949 by the Inouye family, who owned the Lincoln Grill in Hilo, Hawaii in 1949. A group of boys from the Lincoln Wreckers sports club contributed to its creation."
The story goes that the boys didn't have much money, Nancy Inouye charged only $.25 for this... one of the boys was nicknamed "Crazy" which is "Loco" in Spanish, Moco rhymes with loco, and thus the dish was born. "Moco" means mucus or snot in Spanish, this was supposedly unknown when they named it, "Crazy Mucus."
I don't know if the Lincoln Grill still exists, but the Cafe 100 is now considered my most locals to be the most original and authentic Loco Moco you can get still in Hilo. This is where I had my first Loco Moco and I say that with pride.
You are taking already three of the richest foods: eggs, fried hamburger, and brown gravy - and sopping them all up with rice. When you break the yolk and it melts into the gravy and the rice, the umptiousness is profound. The hamburger adds substance. The entire thing contains virtually no vitamins A, B, C, E, D, or fiber.
At Cafe 100 they offer 17 varieties of Loco Moco on the menu, from the traditional Spam Loco Moco to the unorthodox Garden Burger Loco Moco; I chose the plain Loco Moco for $1.99. It is a total gut bomb, wrong on so many levels, but delicious nonetheless. It's one of those things where you once you become satiated, you continue to eat it for no natural reason.
I nearly finished it - but then I had to take a nap.

Tone-Loc Arrested for DUI, Claims It Was a Seizure
By Minara El-Rahman on January 05, 2011 5:47 AM
Wild Thing rapper Tone-Loc was arrested for a DUI on Dec. 13, but this is no ordinary rapper gone wild case. Tone-Loc asserts that he was not overindulging in the funky cold Medina before he was pulled over by police, 411mania.com reports. Tone-Loc claims that he was not driving drunk; he was having a seizure.
Tone-Loc was pulled over by the LAPD at approximately 3:00 a.m. because of his erratic driving. Tone-Loc's manager claims that the reason for the erratic driving is that the rapper suffered from a seizure that may have been caused by "bad food he had earlier that day," TMZ reports. His manager also claims that Tone-Loc has an extensive history of seizures and has not drank alcohol in years.
While that is certainly an interesting defense, according to Epilepsy.com, it is worth knowing that a person who suffers a seizure while driving may be civilly or criminally liable for a motor vehicle accident caused by a seizure. So while Tone-Loc may not have been driving drunk, he could have been liable for other criminal charges had there been an accident due to his seizure.
FindLaw states that some common defenses to drunk driving charges are necessity, duress, entrapment, mistake of fact, or involuntary intoxication. However, the best defense is if the driver can prove he or she was sober.

Q: Refresh listbox with inserted value I want the easiest way to refresh my ListBox when value is inserted
And then we have the create a new company code, I want the listbox to be updated once thus code is runned.

A: Hi call this method after Message box(MessageBox.Show("Grattis! Du har skapat ett företag");).
initCompanyList();

A: Since the list portion of your ListBox is data bound, the easiest way to show the newly added company name (without rebuilding the whole list) is to add it to the underlying data source, and the data binding infrastructure will take care of updating the ListBox for you:
private void createCompany_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // ...
    ((DataTable)companyList.DataSource).Rows.Add(textBoxCompanyName.Text);
}

Install IPFS by downloading the binary from https://ipfs.io/docs/install/
You'll then want to start the daemon, using:

```
ipfs daemon
```

If the IPFS daemon is not already running, then Beaker will start one for you.

## Hosting a site

IPFS allows you to host a site, or folder, directly from your device.

![ipfs-host.gif](ipfs-host.gif)

After the process completes, copy the url (as in the gif above) and prefix it with `ipfs:/ipfs/`.
You now have a valid IPFS url.

For reference, here is a valid URL: `ipfs:/ipfs/QmU5XsVwvJfTcCwqkK1SmTqDmXWSQWaTa7ZcVLY2PDxNxG/`

Note: to be sure that friends can find the site, be sure to leave your device online with the IPFS daemon running.

## Cloning a site

To copy a site from your browser, first copy the base58-string out of the url:

![ipfs-copy-url.gif](ipfs-copy-url.gif)

Then, paste it into the CLI as part of the following command:

![ipfs-clone.gif](ipfs-clone.gif)

Once the download is complete, you can examine the files.

Home » Real Life with Royal + Reese » Raw.
Today, I sit here before you to tell you about some personal things in my life. Something I'm not too keen on doing, because it makes me feel vulnerable and exposed. Some of you reading this will completely understand this feeling, and others of you won't, and both are completely fine, but today, I'm going to get raw—one of my least favorite things in the world to do. But my hopes in doing so, is for others who feel this exact same way, to know that they're not alone.
I was twelve when my parents separated. I was thirteen when their divorce was final. I watched both of them go through their fair share of struggles, trying to figure out who the other one was when the other one wasn't in the equation. Those years shaped my life. I went through something in my class at school that not one other kid had gone through, not one. I lived in a small town and divorce was unheard of, unlike now. Divorce is so prevalent, we're really never surprised to hear that "so and so didn't make it" because he or she were unfaithful, or because he didn't love her anymore or vice versa.
I watched people hurt my parents and watched my parents hurt people and it was something I couldn't get behind. I didn't want that, and the thought of anything close to it, scared the living crap out of me. I didn't want to get hurt. I didn't want to feel that gut wrenching pain, the kind that hurts down to your fingertips. But, fast forward to my adult years. When I was 20 years old, I found someone who I fell in love with and someone that loved me and practically idolized the ground I walked on, at first. He was older than me, so of course, it didn't enthrall my folks in the slightest. Nonetheless, I was going to marry this man. It didn't matter that he constantly put me down, emotionally abused me day after day, isolated me from friends and family, I was still with him and I needed him and I loved him...right?
Wrong. When I finally was strong enough to get out from underneath his thumb, it was four and a half years later. I was finally seeing how toxic our relationship was, and more than anything, I wanted out. I was just beginning to find out who I was and I wanted no part of us. But ever since then, ever since those two series of events in my life, it's difficult for me to date. There have been some over the years that I've pushed and pulled in and out of my life, ones that I wish I could go back and apologize for not being able to give my all to, apologize for hurting them...mainly because I couldn't get a grip.
But, It wasn't until this year, at 32 years old, that I've felt a gapping hole in my life more than ever before. Most my friends are married or having babies and I'm stuck in this stagnant phase of life: watching, hoping, praying, that there's a gentleman out there for me. In my early 20's I wanted babies. In my late 20's and even up until a year ago, I went through a phase where I didn't want any children...but now, I just want to meet someone to share my life with because I can see my window for children slowing closing.
I have the most amazing nephew, and he kinda looks like me, which makes me so happy and at the same time, I wish I had a little person just like him that I could hold and cuddle all the time. I see such wonderment in his eyes, I hear his imagination when we play out scenarios, I love him to absolute pieces and would lay down my life for him. He makes me want to be a better person. When I struggle with anything in my life, I remember him and I fight, I fight for him, so I can be a positive influence in his life.
So if it's this easy to feel this way, to want this love so badly, why is it so tough to find that person? Why have the last two people I've had interest in, shoved me away? But on the same token, I've done that to many, myself. I just have to slowly pick up my pieces for the next one, each one a worse break than the last. But, what I keep coming back to is this: be true to yourself, follow your heart, and the day that you're supposed to meet that man, you will!
It seems like such a bs answer because it's completely cliche, but it's the right answer. I'm not sitting around waiting anymore. My heart is open, I'm ready to meet that gent, and I have faith that when it's right, it will be R I G H T and hopefully by then, all of my dreams will come true and he will love me more than anyone else in the world and until then, I'll keep blogging, exercising, zip lining, hiking, eating crazy amounts of lean turkey, and laughing, oh boy—will I be laughing.
So in the meantime, if you know of any single gents that love Jesus, let me know! I'm ready to dive in head first! But to the other ladies, like me, who sometimes can feel hopeless or wonder why you haven't met that man, just relax, find a buddy to do fun things with and reinvent yourself to discover new things that you've never known about yourself. You never know, he could be a zip line away.

Covering issues as diverse as written and practice based research, PAD aims to bring to the fore new ideas, new approaches to existing debates, interpretations on written and visual practice, debates in art and design history, and issues of creative pedagogy. Our goal is to allow scholarly activity to be delivered through equality, where there is no hierarchy between the academic and the student, those with a record of publication, and those who will be shown here for the first time.
How Cindy Sherman's Instagram works are making contributions to the Art Historical Canon
Alyson Agar, Lecturer in Visual and Creative Cultures
Cindy Sherman is one of the world's most renowned female contemporary photographers. Frequently identified as a conceptual photographer by critics and academics, Cindy Sherman's photographic practice has spanned decades; from her beginnings in the late 1970s to her most recent explorations of 'selfie culture' on Instagram. Subsequently, the prevalent theme firmly embedded within Sherman's practice is the exploration of identity and its social constructs; in particular, societal female archetypes, evidenced throughout Cindy Sherman's pre and post-internet practice.
In the summer of 2017, Cindy Sherman made her Instagram account public; since doing this, she has amassed more than 187,000 followers (May, 2018) This move to Instagram marked a seismic shift in Sherman's photographic practice; initially it provided the public with an insight into the 'real Cindy Sherman' and the introduction of a 'digital mask' in contrast to the other masks Sherman has worn previously throughout her forty year career.
In order to explore Cindy Sherman's move to Instagram, we must first ascertain why Cindy Sherman has elected to use Instagram as a mode of operation. In addition to this, Sherman's shift in practice must be located within a contemporary critical and theoretical framework in an endeavour to understand her positioning. Sherman's Instagram works make a valid contribution to the art-historical canon, they examine and reference new developments in visual culture in the widest possible sense, whilst simultaneously referencing Sherman's historical practice.
Sherman's Instagram images reference contemporary 'selfie' culture; an interesting, yet not unexpected exploration for Sherman who is one of the most important female artists of the twentieth century to turn the camera on herself in dialogue with a wider cultural and historical vision. Arguably, Sherman's Instagram 'selfies' serve to continue the conversation as they confidently comment upon new representations of self in the digital realm; contributing to new knowledge regarding new taxonomies regarding new statements of femininity.
Sherman's handling of a new visual language; the language of the internet is compelling. Key characteristics of the selfie are examined, and ultimately subverted throughout Sherman's Instagram works. Methodically, she examines the tilt of the head, the upwards angle, the pouting lips and presents them as hallmarks of contemporary selfie culture. An analytical and visual enquiry is manifested in the work, in parlance with a new confidence and inquisitiveness seen as Sherman navigates new working methods.
Blending In, 2nd March 2018, depicts an elongated floating head that operates fully within the centre of the frame. Blending In mimics the shape of a classical bust, in particular, the triangle of the décolletage. Referencing unity and connoting insinuations of the golden ratio; further reinforced by the gold medallion that the figure wears around her neck. The character seems detached from reality, gazing down at the world below, one can't help but wonder if this could be a metaphor for Sherman's relationship with technology.

Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass is electrically conductive and ideal for use in a wide range of devices, including applications such as opto-electronics, touch screen displays, thin film photovoltaics, energy-saving windows, RFI/EMI shielding and other electro-optical and insulating applications. Fluorine doped tin oxide has been recognized as a very promising material because it is relatively stable under atmospheric conditions, chemically inert, mechanically hard, high-temperature resistant, has a high tolerance to physical abrasion and is less expensive than indium tin oxide.
TEC GlassTM materials from PilkingtonTM are generally superior in combination of cost and performance. Moreover, FTO based materials avoid problems with indium diffusion into the N-type TiO2 or ZnO nano-structured films.
These FTO glass materials have a wide range of thermal and heated glass performance properties, while also increasing light transmittance and optimizing electrical conductivity.
Electrically conductive for heated and thermal control, electrostatic dissipation and reduced transmittance of electromagnetic radiation.
Color neutral glass inhibits reflector color, increases light transmittance and minimizes haze to optimize clear visibility.
Easily fabricated durable pyrolytic surface can be handled, cut, insulated, laminated, heat-strengthened and tempered using standard techniques.
Bendable TEC GlassTM can be heat processed and bent after production, unlike soft or sputter-coated glass products.
Durable Pyrolytic Surface provides unlimited shelf life, minimizes rubs and scratches, and will not oxidize or change color over time.


Announcing a strategic initiative with GlobalFoundries, QuickLogic will broaden its market reach, by selectively licensing its proprietary, low power, programmable logic technology under the trade name ArcticPro eFPGA. This embedded FPGA initiative is in conjunction with a partnership agreement with the foundry, enabling SoC design companies to acquire a license from QuickLogic to embed ArcticPro low power eFPGA technology in designs targeting GlobalFoundries' new power- and cost-optimised 22nm FDSOI fabrication technology, which is scheduled for production in 2017.
ArcticPro IP is also available now for designs targeting the foundry's 65nm and 40nm fabrication technologies.
QuickLogic expects to announce additional foundry partners in the future.
One of the primary drivers of the growth in the embedded semiconductor IP market is an expected rapid expansion of the IoT market, which is forecasted to reach nearly $11 Billion by 2022. According to QuickLogic, this growth opportunity presents SoC designers with new challenges. Unlike the mobile market, which is dominated by smartphones, the IoT market includes a wide variety of end products and product variants that are difficult to address with a single fixed SoC design. This fact, combined with the steadily rising cost of bringing SoC devices to market, is prompting the trend to increase the flexibility of SoCs to accommodate a wider selection of end product designs. At leading edge fabrication nodes, this is economically accomplished with embedded programmable logic.
Design Tool Suite in Q1 2017, to enable SoC designers to evaluate, target and define custom eFPGA logic cell array sizes and generate the necessary design files for SoC integration.
ArcticPro eFPGA IP is currently available for designs targeting GlobalFoundries' 65 and 40nm processes and will be available with the new 22nm FDX process in 2017.
