Yield Gains in Major U.S. Field Crops. CSSA Special Publication 33. Stephen Smith, Brian Diers, James Specht, and Brett Carver, editors. doi:10.2135/cssaspecpub33.c5.
U.S. government work.
Edible grain legumes, including dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), dry pea (Pisum sativum L.), chickpea (Cicer arientinum L.), and lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus), have served as important sources of protein in the human diet for thousands of years. In the United States, these crops are consumed nationally and produced for export markets. The objectives of this study were to examine yield gains in edible grain legume crops over the past 25 yr. Genetic gain in dry bean during the past 30 yr based on common trials was 13.9 kg ha−1 yr−1 (0.77% yr−1) and 17.4 kg ha−1 yr−1 (0.85% yr−1) for navy and pinto bean cultivars, respectively. Data from national yield trials on research sites indicates that yield gains were 0.4, 0.7, 0.9, and 1.7% for pinto, navy, black, and kidney beans, respectively. The results also suggest that dry bean cultivars have not reached a yield plateau for most market classes. Continued introgression of germplasm from other races of common bean should provide new sources of genetic diversity to enhance yield in the future. Over the past 25 yr, the production of cool season food legumes (pea, lentil, and chickpea) in the United States has increased dramatically; however, yields of dry pea in the United States have decreased by 0.3% per year, lentil yields have increased by only 0.1% per year, and chickpea yields have increased by 2.8% per year. Pea and lentil production has increased dramatically in Montana and North Dakota, but the cultivars grown in this region were originally developed in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Canada and are likely not well adapted for Montana and North Dakota. Several currently grown cultivars are at least 20 yr old, but new cultivars have been released that are superior to these older cultivars.

Second-Quarter 2017 Infographic
Second-Quarter 2017 Financial Schedules
Deerfield, Ill. - July 26, 2017
Baxter International Inc. (NYSE:BAX) today reported results for the second quarter of 2017 and increased its financial outlook for full-year 2017 and 2020.
"Our solid second quarter performance reflects continued execution of our strategic objectives," said José (Joe) E. Almeida, chairman and chief executive officer. "Baxter's focus on innovation and operational excellence is fueling our mission to save and sustain lives, and deliver improved performance for our patients, customers and shareholders. In light of this progress and potential, we are raising our financial outlook for both full-year 2017 and 2020."
Second-Quarter Financial Results
In the second quarter, worldwide sales totaled $2.6 billion, an increase of 1 percent on a reported basis and 2 percent on a constant currency basis as compared to the prior-year period. Operationally, Baxter's sales rose 3 percent, adjusting for the impact of foreign exchange, generic competition for U.S. cyclophosphamide and the previously communicated select strategic product exits the company is undertaking.
Sales within the U.S. were $1.1 billion, advancing 4 percent. International sales totaled approximately $1.5 billion, representing a 2 percent decrease on a reported basis and a 1 percent increase on a constant currency basis. Baxter's operational sales increased 5 percent in the U.S. and 2 percent internationally.
Global sales for Hospital Products totaled $1.6 billion in the second quarter, increasing 1 percent on a reported basis, 2 percent on a constant currency basis and 4 percent operationally as compared to the prior-year period. Performance in the quarter benefited from continued strength in our U.S. fluid systems business, favorable demand for parenteral nutrition therapies and pre-mixed injectable pharmaceuticals, as well as for select anesthesia and critical care products.
Baxter's Renal sales totaled $968 million, comparable to the prior year on a reported basis and up 3 percent on both a constant currency basis and operational basis. Growth in the quarter was driven by increased sales for in-center hemodialysis (HD) products in the U.S., international acute renal care sales and global sales of peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapies.
Baxter reported income from continuing operations of $264 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, on a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis for the second quarter. These results included special items totaling $113 million ($84 million net after-tax), primarily related to business optimization, intangible asset amortization and the deconsolidation of the company's Venezuela business.
On an adjusted basis, excluding special items, Baxter's second quarter income from continuing operations totaled $348 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, exceeding the company's previously issued guidance of $0.55 to $0.57 per diluted share.
In support of its strategy to accelerate profitable growth and deliver meaningful innovation for patients and healthcare professionals around the world, Baxter has achieved a number of recent operational, pipeline and commercial milestones.
Secured clearance from all regulatory authorities to complete the company's proposed acquisition of Claris Injectables Limited, a global generic injectables pharmaceutical company. The transaction significantly broadens Baxter's presence in the generic pharmaceuticals space and will help boost the supply of essential medicines to Baxter customers. The company expects to close the transaction by the end of July 2017.
Entered into an agreement with Dorizoe Lifesciences Limited, a full-service global contract research and development organization, that will facilitate accelerated development of more than 20 generic injectable products.
Received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of two new premixed injectables - clindamycin injection in both saline and dextrose presentations. Baxter is the first and only company to offer a premixed clindamycin injection in a saline presentation, which makes this commonly prescribed antibiotic suitable for use with a wider patient population.
Announced research and clinical development collaborations with leading institutions -- Mayo Clinic and Ramot at Tel Aviv University/Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center -- to transform patient care with new technologies and products across an array of therapeutic areas, including renal care and surgical care, respectively.
Achieved a regulatory milestone for our new innovative, home PD technology with the receipt of guidance from the FDA clarifying the regulatory pathway. The new system is designed to produce sterile PD solutions using a small water filtration device that would be placed in the patient's home and integrated with Baxter's unique AMIA automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) system with SHARESOURCE telehealth platform.
Launched a new version of the AK-98 HD system in select markets offering two-way IT connectivity and capabilities to meet the needs of patients with lower weights. The system can also be used to deliver HDx enabled by THERANOVA, which was designed to work with all hemodialysis machines. HDx enabled by the THERANOVA dialyzer extends the range of molecules that can be filtered from the blood during dialysis, resulting in a filtration profile that more closely mimics the natural kidney.1
For full-year 2017: Baxter is raising its financial outlook for the year and now expects sales growth of approximately 3 percent on a reported basis, approximately 4 percent on a constant currency basis, and approximately 5 percent operationally. Earnings from continuing operations, before special items, are expected to be $2.34 to $2.40 per diluted share. This guidance assumes the closure of the company's proposed acquisition of Claris Injectables, to be complete by the end of July 2017.
For the third quarter: The company expects sales growth of approximately 4 percent on a reported basis, approximately 5 percent on a constant currency basis and approximately 6 percent operationally. The company expects earnings from continuing operations, before special items, of $0.58 to $0.60 per diluted share.
Please see the schedules accompanying this press release for reconciliations between the projected 2017 operational sales and adjusted earnings per diluted share to the projected GAAP sales and earnings per diluted share.
As a result of the company's ongoing business transformation efforts designed to accelerate performance, the company is increasing its 2020 financial outlook. Baxter expects sales to grow approximately 4 percent on a compounded annual basis from 2016 to 20202 and now anticipates an adjusted operating margin in 2020 of approximately 20 percent as compared to previous guidance of 17 to 18 percent. The company anticipates 2020 adjusted diluted earnings of $3.25 to $3.40 per share. Baxter also increased its cash flow expectations for 2020 and now anticipates operating cash flow of approximately $2.65 billion. Capital expenditures are expected to total $650 million in 2020, resulting in free cash flow generation of approximately $2 billion, an increase of $250 million versus prior guidance.
"Baxter's increased financial outlook and enhanced free cash flow generation provide the flexibility to invest in the business both organically and inorganically while also returning meaningful value to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases," said Jay Saccaro, executive vice president and chief financial officer. "The company is well-positioned to execute on its aspiration of delivering sustainable industry-leading performance."
The non-GAAP measures set forth above reflect the impact of several known items. The reconciliation of adjusted operating margin for known intangible asset amortization expense of approximately 1 percent results in operating margin of approximately 19 percent in 2020. Additionally, the reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share for known intangible asset amortization expense ($0.17 in 2020) results in diluted earnings per share between $3.08 and $3.23, respectively.
A webcast of Baxter's second quarter conference call for investors can be accessed live from a link on the company's website at www.baxter.com beginning at 7:30 a.m. CDT on July 26, 2017. Please see www.baxter.com for more information regarding this and future investor events and webcasts.
Baxter provides a broad portfolio of essential renal and hospital products, including home, acute and in-center dialysis; sterile IV solutions; infusion systems and devices; parenteral nutrition; surgery products and anesthetics; and pharmacy automation, software and services. The company's global footprint and the critical nature of its products and services play a key role in expanding access to healthcare in emerging and developed countries. Baxter's employees worldwide are building upon the company's rich heritage of medical breakthroughs to advance the next generation of healthcare innovations that enable patient care.

Immigration News | Misleading websites to face the squeeze
Misleading websites to face the squeeze
Consumer Minister Jenny Willott confirms extra funding for the National Trading Standards Board to investigate misleading websites.
Misleading websites that try and palm themselves off as legitimate government services are to come under the spotlight from Trading Standards today (4 March 2014) as Consumer Minister Jenny Willott confirmed extra funding for them to help tackle these rogue traders.
The Minister has committed an additional £120,000 this financial year to National Trading Standards Board (NTSB) so they can investigate these websites. This money will help NTSB also tackle websites that exaggerate the nature of the services they provide or deliberately underplay that people can get them for free or at a lower cost from official sources.
The extra funding for NTSB will mean that they are better equipped to identify, investigate and take enforcement action against any misleading websites that pass themselves off as official government services.
Consumer Minister Jenny Willott said:
"Misleading websites which dupe people into believing they are using the official government channel need to be stopped in their tracks. The unfortunate reality is that a minority are exploiting those who are perhaps less web-savvy and we need to clamp down on them. These rogues that con people out of their hard earned cash need to know that the full glare of Trading Standards is now on them."
NTSB Chair Lord Toby Harris said:
"Copycat websites that deceive consumers are a growing problem. These sites frequently encourage consumers to pay a fee or an extra charge for a service that is readily or freely available from the official website. Moreover, they often require those accessing them to share information that is personal and should be held securely. This additional government support to help tackle this challenge is most welcome. By working together in this way we look forward to reducing consumer detriment and supporting legitimate businesses."
Government continues to work with organisations such as the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), Which? and the major search engines, including Google, to raise awareness of the threat posed by misleading websites
The government's 'digital by default' agenda continues to encourage people to use the internet for government services and has worked hard to ensure that these are easily useable, accessible, and secure for all. Central to this has been the streamlining of government websites into a single domain, GOV.UK. This new website is built around the needs of users and provides 1 secure place where most government services can be accessed.
The Consumer Rights Bill is currently going through Parliament. The Bill is the biggest reform to consumer law in a generation. It will enhance consumer rights and make them easier to understand and help businesses interpret and apply the law. The changes are set to boost the UK economy by over £4 billion over the next decade.
For more information on the ASA's guidance go to Advertising Standards Authority
The NTSB is part of the Consumer Protection Partnership which brings together all the bodies in the consumer landscape, including Citizens Advice and the Office for Fair Trade, to share intelligence, identify future issues that could adversely affect consumers and agree priorities for enforcement, information and education.
The government's economic policy objective is to achieve 'strong, sustainable and balanced growth that is more evenly shared across the country and between industries'. It set 4 ambitions in the 'Plan for Growth', published at Budget 2011:
to create the most competitive tax system in the G20
to make the UK the best place in Europe to start, finance and grow a business
to encourage investment and exports as a route to a more balanced economy
to create a more educated workforce that is the most flexible in Europe
Work is underway across government to achieve these ambitions, including progress on more than 250 measures as part of the Growth Review. Developing an Industrial Strategy gives new impetus to this work by providing businesses, investors and the public with more clarity about the long-term direction in which the government wants the economy to travel.

Completing college essays is hard!
Whether it's in the middle of the night or just having a wash, I sometimes get stopped in my tracks at the realisation that I'm no longer in active addiction since I started using the services of ADS.
Even though it's getting easier, I still have my good and bad days, sometimes very bad!
I just keep reassuring myself that's it's worth doing, because if I was still using I wouldn't even turn up to college, let alone complete two essays in a week.

Q: Make Robot hold button down for a certain amount of time without halting the program I have this code for a Discord bot so far that when a user sends a message with "up" in it, it presses the W key for 3 seconds, for example. I included up and right for the purpose of an example
@Override
    public void onMessageReceived(MessageReceivedEvent event) {
        Message msg = event.getMessage();

        if (msg.getContentRaw().equals("up")) {
            MessageChannel channel = event.getChannel();
            channel.sendMessage("Going up!").queue();
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_W);
            robot.delay(3 * 1000); // In milliseconds
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_W);
        }

        if (msg.getContentRaw().equals("right")) {
            MessageChannel channel = event.getChannel();
            channel.sendMessage("Going right!").queue();
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_D);
            robot.delay(3 * 1000); // In milliseconds
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_D);
        }

The problem I have here is that if a user sends "up" and another user sends "right" before the 3 seconds are up, it will "queue" the messages and hold "w" for 3 seconds and then "d" for 3 seconds, but I want it to hold "w" and hold "d" at the same time for each of their respective times. How can I achieve this so it doesn't queue them and actually presses and reads messages at the same time, if possible?

Combining these basic research approaches, Dr. Cagan has established the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapeutics, in which new tools including 'personalized Drosophila avatars' are developed and used to screen for personalized drug cocktails. Working with co-directors Marshall Posner, Krzysztof Misiukiewicz and Eric Schadt, the CPCT is designed to treat patients with drug combinations that best address the tumor's complexities. For more information, please visit the Cagan Laboratory website.

Cancer has proven a difficult disease to achieve significant long-term advances in patient survival; improvements in survival are often measured in months. My laboratory has undertaken a genetic and drug screening approach targeting cancer—and more recently diabetes and rare genetic diseases—using the fruit fly Drosophila. We use an integrated approach: genes and drugs identified in flies are then brought to rodent models and ultimately to clinical trials; sequencing and histological data from humans are then brought back to our fly models to allow us to develop increasingly sophisticated fly models.
My laboratory has developed a Drosophila model for Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC). Targeting oncogenic Ret to the eye, we phenocopied many aspects of the human syndrome (Figure). With this model in hand, we utilized a classical genetic modifier screen to identify 140 factors that function in the oncogenic process. More recently we have developed models for lung, breast, and colorectal cancers, exploring both the biology and therapeutics response for each tumor type.
Our data and others have emphasized the complexity of tumor biology. For example, we found that most drugs that work well in genetically simple fly and mouse models of colorectal cancer (e.g., Ras) work poorly in more complex models (e.g., Ras-Pten-Apc-P53). This mirrors the remarkably high failure rate of candidate therapeutics in cancer clinical trials.
To address this complexity, we developed technology to build fly cancer models that target 12 or more genes altered in a single patient, providing a unique opportunity to capture complex tumors in a whole body context. The Center for Personalized Cancer Therapeutics is using this technology to create personalized fly avatars for each enrolled patient; robotics-based screening is then used to identify candidate drugs or drug cocktails tailored to each patient (Figure). This open-label clinical trial represents a uniquely personalized approach to treating cancer patients.
We used our fly MTC model as a screen to identify vandetanib, a kinase inhibitor that was subsequently approved for MTC (see Figure above). More recently we have collaborated with Arvin Dar, Avner Schlessinger, and colleagues to develop a new approach to creating complex drug leads. Built by combining fly genetics with medicinal and computational chemistry (Figure), these "polypharmacology" based compounds are designed to address disease complexity at the level of the whole body by inhibiting multiple targets defined in our genetic screens. Our goal is address disease by embracing its complexity, with therapeutics designed to address networks not single targets.
Wecollaborated with Tom Baranski's laboratory to create a model system for Type 2 Diabetes. Flies placed on a high-carbohydrate diet demonstrate a broad range of defects that share important properties with human diabetics: obesity, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, etc. lead to aspects of diabetic cardiomyopathy (heart failure) and diabetic nephropathy (kidney failure; see Figure). We are exploring the mechanisms by which these organs fail, and are working towards candidate therapeutics. We have also initiated studies using fly models of the inherited diseases Rasopathies and Tauopathies, with the goal of using our maturing platforms to both understand the disease and identify therapeutics best tailored to the whole body. In each case—cancer, diabetes, genetic diseases—our goal is the same: capture the whole body complexity of the disease and develop therapeutic leads designed to address both efficacy and whole body toxicity.
Dr. Cagan did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2018 and/or 2019: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.

This bold family crime drama from John Wells Productions centers on 17-year-old "J" Cody, who moves in with his freewheeling relatives in their Southern California beach town after his mother dies of an overdose. Headed by boot-tough matriarch "Smurf" Cody (Ellen Barkin) and her right-hand Baz (Scott Speedman), who runs the business and calls the shots, the clan also consists of Pope (Shawn Hatosy), the oldest and most dangerous of the Cody boys; Craig, the tough and fearless middle son; and Deran, the troubled, suspicious "baby" of the family. It isn't long before J is pulled into the family's life of indulgence and excess, but he soon discovers that it's all being funded by criminal activities. Joining the family comes with more danger and excitement than he might be ready to handle.

Leadership Highlight: Isaiah Washington the President of Alpha Phi Alpha at The University of Pennsylvania
In an effort to highlight the young leaders who are leading undergraduate chapters across the nation, we at Watch The Yard reached out to the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.'s Psi Chapter at the University of Pennsylvania and did an interview with Isaiah Washington the president of the chapter.
The position of president of an undergraduate chapter of a Black fraternity is a highly respected role and there is a special pride that one takes. 21-year-old Washington has used the position to gain new leadership experience, improve the lives of other students on campus and help the community around him.
We interviewed the Management and Entrepreneurship major and talked about his position, goals, future and what it means to hold a leadership on campus in the digital age.
What does it mean to be a chapter president to you?
To me, Chapter President is an ever-changing role that characterizes itself by the makeup of the chapter each year. I have a different chapter to lead than my predecessor did and he had a different one than his. However, regardless of who is in the chapter, a good chapter president is one that leads by example and influences through his actions. A good chapter president should not have to command respect, but respect should be automatically given based on the way he carries himself, takes care of his business and the way he advocates and fights for the greater good of his chapter and community. A good chapter president doesn't just put the chapter before himself, but he influences his chapter brothers to do the same. This is the kind of president I strive to be every day.
What made you decide to attend the University of Pennsylvania for undergrad?
I applied to the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania because I had passions for connecting with people and solving problems. Not only is the business school at Penn a main attraction, but so is the magnificently unified Black community that the University of Pennsylvania has fostered since the 80's when we came together fight for our own space. Out of that fight came the historic W.E.B. DuBois College House, the hub of Black Penn and my humble abode for Freshman and Sophomore years.
What specific initiatives is your chapter heading up this year and how do you think they will improve the campus/surrounding community?
This year, the Mighty Psi chapter is heavily promoting and pushing for voter education, registration, and advocacy. Consistent with our national program, A Voteless People is a Hopeless People, the Mighty Psi Chapter is planning many events coinciding with the election timeline including, voter registration drives, debate watches, and political discussions. We are approaching one of the most important elections in U.S. history and it is imperative that we, as a community, are ready and prepared to voice our opinions and cast our votes.
What made you want to pledge Alpha Phi Alpha?
I joined Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc because I wanted to be a leader who made a difference. When I arrived on Penn's campus in 2016, I knew that I had changes to make, and the men on campus who were making changes were men of Alpha Phi Alpha. Not only that, but I'd heard of the legacy these men had left across the country and strived to be similar and/or better. They say iron sharpens iron and I needed to get sharp so I went where I knew to go. It was one of the best decisions I've made to date.
What is it about your specific chapter that makes it so unique?
The Mighty Psi Chapter is the last single letter chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated. With our chapter's 100th year anniversary coming up on January 21, 2020, the Psi chapter will be the last chapter of Alpha to turn 100 years old. We invite everyone to Philadelphia in January to participate in the festivities!
We now live in a digital world, what do you think undergraduate chapters across all orgs need to do to represent themselves online in 2019?
Social media is a gift and a tool. The best thing about it is that we were raised in an age where this technology is second nature to us. With social media, and other technological tools, we are given tremendous power to influence the perception of our individual chapters, our organizations and Black greekdom overall. The challenge is focusing this power to enhance our community and to break down ill perceptions and misnomers from the outside.
Leadership is doing what is right when nobody is watching. Leadership is taking steps forwards when every possible force is holding you back and then reaching back for the rest. Leadership is saying "Let's go get this done" rather than "go get that done".
Why do you think Watch The Yard is important to Black greekdom?
Watch The Yard is important to Black greekdom because it brings to light the true, national and international power that our organizations have to bring people together. Watch the Yard unifies Black greekdom in a way that it has never been unified before and for this I'm thankful.
What does brotherhood mean to you?
To me, brotherhood is simple. It means support and accountability. Brothers support each other, regardless of the decisions we make. However, we also hold each other accountable and strive to make each other better.
After graduation, I will be moving to New York City to begin my career as a technology growth equity investor at Insight Venture Partners.
We at Watch The Yard would like to commend Isaiah Washington for his work as the president of The Mighty Psi Chapter Chapter which has a long legacy that spans back to 1920.
Share this on Facebook and help us highlight Isaiah Washington.

HomeRMIResearch at RMIResearch projects at Dr. Robert-Murjahn-Institut
Dr. Robert-Murjahn-Institut (RMI) conducts a series of research projects into the properties of coatings and façade systems, their durability, sustainability and their environmental relevance. The research projects are financed via contributions from a number of industry partners and project-related government subsidies. We are also supported by several research institutes by means of the intensive exchange of expert knowledge. We would like to thank our collaborative partners for supporting applied research within RMI.

2013 – 2017 – 'Irrigated façades' research project
For many years, RMI has been working intensively on the release behaviour of substances from façade coatings. The understanding of the leaching process itself has been subject to intensive research by many research institutes in previous years (BAM, UMTEC, DTI, IBP, Bester et al.). A standardised laboratory test to provide a quantitative determination of release was developed and a number of outdoor exposure tests were carried out. In order to understand and estimate the impact of the release of substances on the environment, we are currently modelling the emission process on the façade and the immission process in the ground in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute IME for Microbiology and Applied Ecology.
The project 'Irrigated facades' has the financial support of a consortium of associations (VdL, IWM, Bauchemie) and about 27 companies from the paints and raw materials sector. This inter-disciplinary project is supported with specialist professional support through the collaboration with the BAM, UMTEC and IME research facilities.
The project comprises modelling, analytical field and laboratory studies and 'irrigated façades' workshops with experts from various specialist professional areas. The aim of the project is, through interdisciplinary exchange supported by directional experimental studies, to highlight the issue among experts and develop professional and practically feasible proposals for assessing the risk in the context of German and European legislation.
2012/2013 – Odour measurements
In 2013 RMI supervised a Master's thesis with the title "Development of a rapid odour test to assess the odour from coatings materials: comparison of odour intensity and selective substance groups sum parameters". The aim was to develop a rapid odour test as a pre-test to the laborious and cost-intensive DIN ISO 16000-28 procedure to identify potential odour-intensive coatings.
2012/2013 – 'Leachung of substances from façade coatings' INS Project 1206
This follow-on project to the 2010 INS 1066 project took standard EN 16105 to investigate the release of heavy metals and organic substance groups from coatings. The aim was to demonstrate that it is technically feasible to provide evidence of hazardous substances in eluates from coatings by means of test procedure EN 16105. Doped samples were used because standard market formulae generally all contain low amounts of these substances and/or the substances only show low solubility.
The research also looked at how contact time and water volume affect the release of substances. Knowledge of the water supply is important in estimating the entry of substances into the environment when driving rain hits façades.
The results serve to expand the scope of EN16105 and assess whether the test procedure EN 16105 for assessment of the hazard to the 'environment, health and hygiene' can be used in the context of the European Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) (CPD).
The project was sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology as part of the innovations in standards programme.
2012 – Discharge water on irrigated façades
In collaboration with Prof. Dr. M. Burkhardt, HSR, Rapperswil, Dr. H. Nebel, ibac Aachen, Ch. Scherer, IBP Holzkirchen and Dr. T. Wangler, EMPA Dübendorf, driving rain and discharge water was determined at three locations in Germany, in Holzkirchen (Bavaria), Aachen (NRW) and Ober-Ramstadt (Hessen), and the relationship between driving rain and discharge water was calculated for various façade geometries and locations.
2012 – Robustness validation
Robustness validation of the dynamic surface leaching test
RMI is participating in the robustness validation of the 'Dynamic test procedure for the determination of the surface-dependent release of substances from monolithic, plate and sheet type construction products (Dynamic surface leaching test)' currently being developed in the Technical Committee CEN/TC 351/WG 1 'Construction products – assessment of the release of dangerous substances:
release to soil, surface water and ground water'.
In cooperation with the German Federal Agency for Materials Research and Testing, RMI is testing synthetic resin plasters in according to EN 15824.
The projects 'Runoff water on irrigated façades' and the involvement of RMI' in the 'Robustness validation of the dynamic surface leaching test for synthetic resin plasters' have received financial support from the following partners: AkzoNobel Coatings AG, BASF SE, BK-Giulini GmbH, Caparol Farben Lacke structural protection GmbH, Celanese Emulsions GmbH, E. Dold & Söhne KG, Gebrüder Dorfner GmbH & Co., Evonik Industries AG, FEMA Farben + Putze GmbH, RÖFIX AG - Fixit-Gruppe, Greutol AG, Meffert AG Farbwerke, Omya International AG, PPG Coatings, Schuelke &Mayr GmbH, SOVA GmbH, Synthomer Deutschland GmbH, Thor GmbH, Wacker-Chemie GmbH, W&P Baustoffe GmbH. We would like to thank IBAC Aachen, the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics in Holzkirchen and the German Federal Agency for Materials Research and Testing for their support and the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik, the EMPA, Meteomedia and the UMTEC for their cooperation.
2010 – 'Leaching of biocides from façade coatings'
Façades that are exposed to weather are attacked by algae and fungae which spoil the appearance of the surfaces and can lead to long-term damage. Biocides to combat algae and fungae are added to façade coatings in order to prevent such damage.
These can leach out in weather conditions, particularly when it rains.
In this project, a laboratory method for the determination of biocides from façade coatings was developed and validated. The results have been incorporated in the European standard EN 16105. Important factors of influence were examined, such as to what extent leaching is dependent on concentration and temperature. This INS project successfully demonstrated that the developed standard EN 16105 is effective and is suitable for estimating biocide emissions from coatings. The standard should serve to optimise the use of biocides in façade coatings, and so reduce manufacturing costs and minimise the level of biocides released into the environment.
The result of the study are summarised in the following publication: (Leaching of biocides from façade coatings, E. Bagda, N. Borho, U. Schoknecht, European Coatings Journal, 06/2011, S. 33).
The project was sponsored by German Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology as part of the innovations in standards programme.
2010 – Thesis: 'Mechanisms of leaching from coating materials' by Dustin Dinse
With his thesis supported by RMI in the summer term of 2010, he is one of seven students across entire Germany to be granted a Max Buchner Research Foundation award for technical chemistry at universities of applied sciences by DECHEMA. This student award honours the best diplomas, master's and bachelor's students in technical chemistry and biotechnology at universities of applies science and polytechnics.
Algae and fungae are among the oldest living organisms on earth and need only small amounts of food and water for growth. In damp microclimates, they colonise surfaces and façades. The most effective way of preventing a microbial attack is to use façade coatings that contain biocides as active ingredients. Biocides are lipophilic, i. e. not very soluble in water. Despite this, when it rains a small amount of biocides are washed out of the façade. The aim of the thesis was to explain the fundamental processes and mechanisms of biocide leaching from façade coatings by using model substances (dyes) in order to optimise coatings.
The study tested different paints as model substances in the laboratory and conducted additional outdoor exposure experiments. The model simulations mean that laborious measurements can in future be replaced with calculations. "The study has the potential to optimise necessary coatings more quickly and easily so that they contain as many biocides as are necessary for surface protection and as few biocides as possible in the interests of the environment. The results and calculations presented in the thesis create a solid basis for this opportunity to optimise coatings," according to the appraisal.
Dustin Dinse also received the Possehl Foundation 'Possehl sponsorship award' for his thesis. This was the 29th time that the Possehl Foundation recognised the best interdisciplinary graduate theses from all the universities of applied sciences in Lübeck. The awards were presented in the Audience Hall of Lübeck Town Hall in a celebration with 100 guests from politics and business.
2010 – Outdoor tests to validate standard EN 16105
In 2009 and 2010, RMI conducted outdoor tests on the leaching behaviour of substances from façade coatings and determined the volume of façade discharge water on test pieces exposed to outdoor influences. The research was financed by the German Association of Varnish and Printing Ink Industry.

Chickens and rabbits work wonders at Chadwell Heath care home
Edwina Ellington
Published: 9:00 AM February 19, 2011
A MENAGERIE of animals in Chadwell Heath is bringing smiles to the people who need it most.
Chadwell House, which specialises in dementia care, is home to a range of animals including six rabbits, four guinea pigs, two budgies, 10 chickens and two cockatiels.
Managers at the Chadwell Heath Lane centre believe having animals around is good for residents' health.
Chris Gammons, manager of Chadwell House, said: "We find it enhances residents' well-being. They love stroking the animals and it is very therapeutic for them.
"We have one guy who likes to go out to see if the chickens have laid any eggs. Many of our residents will have had animals in their own homes so it helps to create a homely effect. We all pitch in looking after them."
A spokesman for Sanctuary Care, who own the residential home, say their aim is to ensure all its centres are animal-friendly.
The group's 42 homes across the country boast more than 15 cats, five guinea pigs, 15 rabbits, one dog, 15 chickens, 10 fish tanks, 15 other birds such as budgerigars and cockatiels, and one hamster.

In addition, residents receive monthly visits from owls, rats, scorpions, donkeys, a giant snail and a water dragon.
Len Merton, Sanctuary Group's Director of Care, said: "It is all about creating a home from home. Pets are very therapeutic, particularly to elderly people.
"Many of our residents will have had pets before and it creates a very nice atmosphere to see a pet given a special place in a home.
"We are passionate about ensuring our care homes are homely and having a pet is one element of creating a good environment."
Len added: "We even produce care plans for our pets to ensure they are given the same loving care as our residents!"
Sanctuary Care's commitment to promoting the well-being of residents extends to considering requests from people moving into its homes who may want to bring a pet.
According to the Pet Health Council, pets can help prevent illness and allergies, lower blood pressure, aid recovery and boost survival chances after life-threatening illness.

Explore Mexico & the Pacific Coast
Mexico is popular with travelers from all over the world. They go there for reasons almost too numerous to mention: sunshine, blue seas teeming with fish and coral, crystal-white beaches, lofty mountains and volcanoes, jungles full of exotic wildlife, world-famous museums and painters, collectible folk art, postcard-perfect Spanish colonial cities and the breathtaking remains of ancient cultures. The megalopolis of Mexico City is Mexico's capital and lies roughly in the middle of the country. Approximately 10 million people live in the city limits, but at least twice that number call metropolitan Mexico City home. By most estimates, this is the fifth- or sixth-largest city in the world.
Popular Destinations in Mexico: Cancun, Cozumel and Playa del Carmen on the Yucatan Peninsula in the east, and Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo on the Baja Peninsula in the west. Between those two peninsulas lie such cities as Guadalajara, Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta and Oaxaca. Many visitors also take the train ride through Copper Canyon.
Canada's wild northern frontier, which has etched itself into the national psyche, and its distinct patchwork of peoples have created a country different from the USA. The edginess between Canada's indigenous, French and British traditions gives the nation its complex three-dimensional character. Add to this a constant infusion of US culture and traditions brought by migrants to form a thriving multicultural society. With its history, people, landscape and natural beauty, Canada offers well-known cities, attractions, parks and regions making for wonderful educational, inspiring or just plain fun destinations. Don't pass up a chance to explore the less-traveled areas, too—at the fringes of the inhabited world, great challenges, eye-opening experiences and hospitable people await.
California is not the promised land, but it sure has fooled a lot of people into thinking that it is. Gold-rush prospectors, dust-bowl refugees, Midwesterners brainwashed by surf songs, aspiring actors trying to make it big in Hollywood—they've all looked on the state as a paradise where their dreams would come true. Most of them didn't find the Garden of Eden when they crossed the state line, but California certainly does look the part. Fertile valleys are nestled beneath rugged mountains, grapevines cover the hillsides and the tallest trees in the world stand high above a rocky ocean shore. A land of geographic superlatives, the Golden State is blessed with more physical variety than any other state in the U.S.—from desert to snow-capped peaks—while its cities are each as distinct as a thumbprint. Travelers may be the ones who come closest to finding a utopia in the state. There are so many wonderful things to see and do that it's hard to pick what not to see and do. At the end of every trip to the region, travelers lay out plans for the next time around.
Oregon's countless opportunities for outdoor recreation top the list of reasons to visit, but you don't have to leave with sore muscles. Its cities and towns are rich with history, art, culture and shopping. Sightseeing is as near as the closest highway. And more than anything else, it's the feel of the place that makes Oregon special. It's a combination of West Coast laid-back and small-town polite. All that, and it's just plain beautiful.
Desert, snowcapped mountains, lush farmland, an immense river gorge, rugged ocean shoreline, towering temperate rain forest—you could spend several weeks taking in all that scenery on a tour of the western U.S., or you could experience it all on a single drive in Washington.
Search All Mexico & Pacific Coastal Sailings
Mexico is a large country with diverse landscapes. Much of the northern part of the country is on a high plateau and is made up of the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts. Two mountain chains—the Sierra Madre Occidental, to the west, and the Sierra Madre Oriental, to the east—extend for a good length of the country. Between these and some smaller mountain ranges are several plains and valleys that hold many of the country's major cities. Mexico also features arid coastal plains, the famous Baja Peninsula and the thick tropical jungles of the Yucatan and Chiapas. The country has long and alluring coastlines washed by the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of California and the Caribbean Sea.
California is a huge state: 770 mi/1,240 km north to south, and 250 mi/403 km wide. Ocean, mountain and desert are California's defining features. There are several different mountain ranges. The Coastal Range, immediately inland of the Pacific shore, extends north from Santa Barbara and into Oregon. In the far northeast, the Cascades extend into neighboring Oregon, and the rugged Sierra Nevada's jagged peaks tower over the eastern third of the state. The Peninsular Ranges extend from Los Angeles south into Mexico's Baja peninsula, while the east-west Transverse Ranges separate much of Southern California from the rest of the state. Cusped among all these mountains are several fertile valleys, including the vast Central Valley—an extremely flat area that's an agricultural powerhouse for one-third of the nation's produce. The southeastern quarter of the state is one vast semiarid desert fringed by valleys and mountains. Much of the Mojave Desert is enshrined within a national park. In the mid-20th century, modern water projects transformed much of this land into rich farmland and then into lush urban and suburban settings, such as the resort town of Palm Springs, where verdant golf courses spring up in the middle of the dusty landscape. In the far east, Death Valley boasts the lowest elevation in the U.S.—and often the highest summer temperatures—and an astonishing array of fascinating geological formations, from salt pans to sand dunes.
Oregon is one of the most geographically diverse spots in the U.S. The state's western border is formed by the Pacific Ocean, and the seacoast is separated from the rest of the state by the rugged mountains of the coastal range. East of the coastal mountains is the fertile Willamette Valley, stretching from southern Oregon to the Columbia River and bordered on the east by the Cascade Mountains. North and east of the Cascades is the Columbia Plateau, a dramatic, high-desert environment punctuated with mountains and secluded lakes. South and east of the Cascades is the northern end of the Great Basin desert.
The Cascade Range runs north to south and includes Washington's highest peaks: Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainier and Mount Baker. The Cascades divide the state roughly in two. Areas to the west of the mountains, which include Puget Sound, Seattle and the Olympic Peninsula, are well watered and green—the verdant landscape most people associate with the state. East of the mountains, the state is much drier, made up of farmland, rolling hills and areas with desertlike conditions.
Mexico has one of the most fascinating histories in the Americas. The first residents reached the area more than 20,000 years ago. In time, the descendants of these first immigrants produced monumental architecture, incredibly precise calendars and advanced agricultural accomplishments (they gave the world corn, vanilla, chocolate and tomatoes). Beginning around 1200 BC, a series of great civilizations waxed and waned along the Gulf Coast and southern portions of Mexico, including the Olmecs and the Maya. The Toltecs and a number of other groups came later. The Aztecs began their rise to power around AD 1300, establishing their capital at Tenochtitlan (present-day Mexico City) and eventually conquering all other groups in central and southern Mexico. Like some of their predecessors, they were a warrior civilization. Rivals who were forced to pay tribute to the Aztecs were looking for an opportunity to throw off their rule, and that opportunity soon presented itself. Hernan Cortes first stepped ashore on Mexico in 1519 and established the town of Veracruz on the Gulf Coast. With just 500 followers, the conquistador engineered the downfall of an Aztec empire by forming alliances with the Aztec's enemies, which swelled his army to more than 5,000. Diseases that the Spanish brought with them, such as smallpox, also overwhelmed the Aztecs. It took Cortes two years to defeat the Aztecs, and with his victory, Mexico came under Spanish rule.
Spanish-Mexican Indian intermarriage yielded a new mixed race of people—mestizos. Their culture was influenced by the mother country in its language, architecture, traditions and religion. The Spanish colonial capital—Mexico City—was literally built from the rubble of Tenochtitlan, as Aztec temples were dismantled to build royal palaces and churches. For the next 300 years, the city served as the center of the vast colony of New Spain. Mexican patriots started fighting for freedom in 1810 and gained independence from the Spanish crown by 1821. The ensuing decades were turbulent for the new country: Mexico passed through years of dictatorship and instability. From the 1830s through the 1850s, Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana ruled the country. During this period, Mexico lost half of its territory in wars against rebellious Texans (in 1836) and against the U.S. (in 1847). In the 1850s, the country was embroiled in a civil war that eventually resulted in Benito Juarez being elected president. One of Mexico's most progressive presidents, Juarez instituted a liberal government and the separation of church and state in a political movement called La Reforma. He also led the fight against French invaders, who ruled the country for several years and placed Emperor Maximilian on the throne before they were forced to withdraw, leaving Maximilian to the firing squad. The modern era began in 1910 with the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution. The decade-long conflict produced some of Mexico's most enduring figures, including the rebel leaders Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata. The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) held power through the next seven decades, giving Mexico one of the longest-lasting governments in Latin America, some say with near-dictatorial status.
The 1990s were unstable for Mexico. After years of state control, the government began liberalizing the economy, joining the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994. For a time, the economy seemed to be booming, until a massive devaluation of its currency dragged the country back into crisis in late 1994. Earlier that year, a small group of rebels in Chiapas State, calling themselves Zapatistas, staged a rebellion that drew international attention to the poverty endured by the country's Maya Indians. A series of high-profile political assassinations rocked already waning faith in the government. After several prominent victories by opposition candidates in local and regional elections, Vicente Fox was elected president in 2000, breaking the PRI's hold on power for the first time since the revolution. Fox's party, the PAN, a conservative centrist group, went on to win the next election in 2006 when Felipe Calderon was elected president. Winning by less than 1% of the vote, Calderon's victory was hotly contested by his opponent, Manuel Lopez Obrador of the leftist PRD party. Lopez Obrador tried unsuccessfully to set up a parallel government in the months following the election but failed. The Electoral Institute supported Calderon's win.
Then in 2012, Mexico did an about-face by electing PRI candidate, Enrique Pena Nieto, president based mostly on his platform of reform. Although he has been praised internationally for standing up to big business monopolies and putting behind bars one of the country's most notorious drug lords, "El Chapo" Guzman, his popularity at home began to wane following an announcement in 2014 of turning the government-run energy sector over to private investors. In 2018, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was elected president.
Mexico's attractions include its historical sites, archaeological ruins, cuisine, fiestas, beaches, fishing, watersports, golf, bullfighting, shopping, handicrafts, music, dance, relaxation and moderate prices. If you're interested in a unique culture and enjoy sand, sun and surf, as well as history, dance, music and friendly, fun-loving people, you'll love Mexico. California's main attractions are its inspiring beauty, cultural offerings, rocky shorelines, skiing, urban nightlife, the Monterey Peninsula, San Francisco, the Napa and Sonoma wine country, redwood forests, Los Angeles, Lake Tahoe, theme parks, national parks, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Spanish missions. Oregon is a perfect destination for those travelers who love the outdoors, beautiful craggy scenery, solitude, rural towns and an untouristy atmosphere. Among Washington's main attractions are spectacular mountains, fishing, Native American culture, Seattle, outdoor activities, the San Juan Islands, the Columbia River Gorge, fresh produce, more than 240 wineries, seafood, temperate rain forests, Olympic National Park, North Cascades National Park, Mount Rainier National Park and Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. It is impossible to walk more than a block or so in the state's large cities, such as Seattle, and not find a coffeehouse.

Wirek (do 1948 Nowa Wieś) – dawna gmina wiejska istniejąca pod tą nazwą w 1948 roku w woj. śląskim (lub śląsko-dąbrowskim; dzisiejsze woj. śląskie). Siedzibą władz gminy był Wirek (obecnie dzielnica Rudy Śląskiej).

Jednostka powstała 7 marca 1948 w związku z przemianowaniem Nowej Wsi na Wirek i konsekwentnie gminy Nowa Wieś na gmina Wirek.

Jako gmina wiejska jednostka przestała istnieć 1 stycznia 1949 wraz z nadaniem Wirkowi praw miejskich i przekształceniem jednostki w gminę miejską.

1 kwietnia 1951 roku Wirek został włączony do Nowego Bytomia (który 31 grudnia 1958 wszedł w skład Rudy Śląskiej).

Q: Regular expression for getting string part I have some string like
Shp 1,737 Plenty Rd, Mill Park VIC 3082
560 High St, Preston VIC 3072
217 Mickleham Rd, Tullamarine VIC 3043

from these i need "VIC" . Can anyone help me to find out a solution using regex or php string function
This is the actual strings... that read from an excel sheet i want the states name from these string like, NSW, ACT, VIC etc

A: if it's always next-to-last, just split the string on space and take the penultimate element.

A: preg_match_all('/(?P<state>[A-Z]{2,3})\s\d{4}$/m', $str, $matches);

var_dump($matches['state']);

Output
array(3) {
    [0]=>
    string(3) "VIC"
    [1]=>
    string(3) "VIC"
    [2]=>
    string(3) "VIC"
}

This uses a regex in multiline mode to match the 2 or 3 capital letters preceding a whitespace character and a 4 digit postcode.
I called it state because I live in Australia and these are all Australian states :)

A: To get vic with its value:
$getvic = substr($myString,-8,-7);

To get just VIC:
$getvic = substr($myString,-8,-2);

Q: Нахождение дублей фраз в тексте Есть задача проверять текст на дублирующиеся предложения. когда перенесли пару абзацев, а старый кусок не удалили. замысел - побить весь текст на фразы(запись в списке), сделать два списка - брать фразу из одного и сравнивать с другим. фраза из рабочего списка, с которым сравнивается - удаляется, на следующей итерации список опять приводится к эталонному и из него удаляется следующая фраза. эталонный - lst, рабочий - loop.
по неясной мне причине эталонный список тоже уменьшается, хотя в коде я этого не вижу.
text= 'Атас. Бинго. Атас. Кошерно'
text=text.replace('\n', '')
lst= text.split('.')
ll=len(lst)
print ('первый список', lst)
for l in range (ll):
    loop = lst
    print ('sravni',l, lst[l],loop[l])
    del loop [l]
    print ('лист', lst)
    #print ('sravni222',lst[l],loop[l])
    if lst[l] in loop:
        print ('loop', l, lst[l])
    else:
        pass
print (ll)
print ( lst)

много принтов - искал причину.

A: Списки является ссылочным типа, а это значит, что строка loop = lst не копирует список lst в переменную loop, а лишь объявляет loop синонимом переменной lst.
Т.е. все изменения в переменной loop отразятся и на списке lst и наоборот.
Это должно помочь:
loop = lst[:]

Q: How do I find the size of an SQLite database in an iPhone application? In my iphone application,i have used sqlite3 for storing the data.
how to get the size of the database using the iphone functionality?
if anybody has any code or any useful link or any other resolution,which would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mishal Shah

A: You can use the following code (drawn from my answer to this question) to determine both your database's size and the free space on the filesystem:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *persistentStorePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"database.sqlite"];

NSError *error = nil;
NSDictionary *fileAttributes = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfItemAtPath:persistentStorePath error:&error];
NSLog(@"Persistent store size: %@ bytes", [fileAttributes objectForKey:NSFileSize]);

NSDictionary *fileSystemAttributes = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfFileSystemForPath:persistentStorePath error:&error];
NSLog(@"Free space on file system: %@ bytes", [fileSystemAttributes objectForKey:NSFileSystemFreeSize]);

This assumes that your database is called "database.sqlite" and is stored at the root of your application's documents directory.

A: Try the following, this could help you
- (NSString *)applicationDocumentsDirectory {
    return [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) lastObject];
}

- (void) logSqlliteStoreSize
{
    NSString *yourSqlLiteFileName = @"YOURDATABASE_NAME.sqlite";
    NSString *yourSqlLitePath = [[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] stringByAppendingPathComponent: yourSqlLiteFileName];
    NSError *error;
    NSDictionary *storeAttributesOfItemAtPath = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfItemAtPath:yourSqlLitePath error:&error];
    // here you should test for errors, this is a simplified version

    // the next log will show much information about your sqlite file
    // including the filesize
    NSLog(@"storeAttributesOfItemAtPath=%@", storeAttributesOfItemAtPath);

}

A: You can find the database file, of the application in the iPhone simulator, in
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/*a long number*/Documents/

If you have a jail broken phone you can SSH into it and find the applications folder where it will also be in a /Applications/*<a long number>*/Documents/ folder.

1. A core, or nucleus, of protons and neutrons that are surrounded by an orbiting cloud of electrons: The chemical behavior of an atom is largely determined by the distribution of its electrons, particularly the number that exist in its outermost level.
Carbon, the sixth element of the periodic table of atoms, forms the basis of most biological molecules and oxygen is another atom, one of about a hundred basic elements that make up all of the objects around us.
2. The fundament building blocks for all matter: An atom is the smallest representative sample of a chemical element and it consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
All of the matter on the Earth is made of atoms which are the chemical structures of our world.
New modern atomic theory is generally credited to an English meteorologist, John Dalton (1766-1844), who suggested that for each chemical element there was a corresponding species of indivisible objects called atoms.
Two or more atoms that are joined together form a molecule which is the same term that applies to any cluster of atoms which can be isolated, whether it contains two atoms or a thousand atoms.
3. A tiny particle or a very small amount of anything: After the politician's presentation, Nicola was heard to say that there was not an atom of truth in anything that he had said.
4. Etymology: atom means "not cut, indivisible"; from Greek atomos, "uncut, indivisible"; from a-, "not" + tomos, "a cutting"; from temnein, "to cut".
1. A reference to being based on or involving nuclear reactions: Some atomic references include, atomic reactor (device in which a chain reaction is initiated and controlled, with the resulting heat typically used for power generation and the neutrons and fission products used for military, experimental, and medical purposes) and atomic waste (material containing the unusable radioactive byproducts of the scientific, military, and industrial applications of nuclear energy); plus many other applicable terms.
2. Pertaining to or related to the smallest particle of an element that can exist: Here are some significant atomic terms which are related to atoms.
Element, a chemical substance that can't be broken down; including solids, liquids, and gases.
Atom, the smallest particle that keeps its chemical identity.
Molecule, any collection of two or more atoms that are bound together.
Electron, an atomic particle that has only a small fraction of the mass of protons and neutrons of the atom.
Nucleus, the small, massive central part of an atom made from positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons.
Proton, a positively charged nuclear particle consisting of individual electromagnetic waves.
Neutron, an electrically neutral nuclear particle.
Ion, an electrically charged atom.
A lack of physiological firmness of tissues and normal functions of bodily organs: The atonia of Olivia's body was a result of a poor diet and a lack of exercise that caused various muscular disorders; such as, spasms and temporary rigidity of her muscles.
Something that is caused by, or exhibits a lack of normal muscle tone or strength: Wilber's atonicity can result in a loss of tension or strength in a muscle, so that it is completely flaccid or floppy.
Some atonicities take place because of a nervous system disorder or after an injury to the nerves: The arm muscles may have atonicity resulting from damage to the "brachial plexus" or nerve roots in the neck that go into the arms.
Characteristic of not being poisonous nor harmful to people, animals, or the environment: Rory, the farmer, made sure that he was using ataxic fertilizers in his fields so no living creatures would be harmed.
1. Referring to anything that is not inflicting or causing damage or injury: Doctors try to use atraumatic therapies or therapeutic instruments and devices that are unlikely to cause tissue or other physical damage to patients.
2. Especially designed or planned to minimize injurious effects: Dr. Hall used atraumatic sutures during the surgery.
Congenital (at birth) absence or loss of hair: Ever since Theodore was born 60 years ago, he has always had a head that was atrichosis.
A reference to the absence of hair either congenital (from birth) or acquired during life: There are some men who prefer to have atrichous heads instead of having hair to take care of.
The wasting away of tissues, organs, or the entire body: Whenever a person has atrophia, this condition can be traced to a disease or because of a lack of exercise; both of which cause weakness or the wearing away of body tissues and structures.
A wasting away; especially, of body tissue, an organ, etc., or the failure of an organ or part of it to grow or develop, as a result of insufficient nutrition or because of a disease: Many people suffer from atrophies of tissues, body organs, or the entire body because of a reduction in the sizes or numbers of their cells.
Atrophy is commonly caused by the lack of use; such as when a limb (arm, hand, etc.) has been immobilized in a plaster cast or by inadequate cell nutrition because of poor blood circulation.
Physicians are aware that atrophy may also take place during a prolonged serious illness, when the body needs to use up the protein reserves in the muscles.
1. To waste away as a result of the degeneration of body cells: Without adequate exercise, the muscles will atrophy regardless of one's age.
Simon significantly atrophied during his bedridden illness.
Many elderly people have "sarcopenia", when the muscles are atrophying, because either they don't exercise at all or not adequately. People are never too old to exercise!
2. The degeneration, decline, or decrease, because of the lack of using something: Dr. Hughes, the professor, argued that freedom and independence of thought were progressively atrophying because too many people were simply ignoring their political rights.
A descriptive term for that which is not usual or normal: Jane and Roger Kilfoil had an atypically leisurely work day just before the holidays.
Showing page 22 out of 23 pages of 340 main-word entries or main-word-entry groups.


Learning to say these ten simple words with confidence may be one way to begin to bridge the Confidence Gap.
The removal of Condoleeza Rice and Ayaan Hirisi Ali as speakers at Brandeis and Rutgers commencement proceedings considered racist and sexist by Forbes.
Successful women entrepreneurs share what they got wrong and other career advice from people who matter.
Jill Abramson fired for gender pay gap issues, female entrepreneurs ahead of their time and feminist political party member Soraya Prost to join the European Parliament.
According to extensive research on the Confidence Gap, men are far more self-assured than women and are constantly reaping the rewards of false confidence.
