These projects typically reduce customer energy usage ~20%, have payback periods under 5 years, and are financed based on savings. Electric rate inflation is a growing problem for many of these organizations, particularly those in rural or economically depressed areas with limited or declining tax revenues and who are served by a utilities excessively dependent on coal.
Typical Energy Efficiency Savings by Building Type
Most Effective Energy Saving Measures
Lighting accounts for up to 25% of commercial building electricity usage and is the easiest energy efficiency measure to implement with 30%+ savings and payback periods under three years
Real-time metering at the circuit breaker level provides the data necessary to achieve fast operational savings, identifies opportunities for energy saving measures, and provides verification that savings are real while providing 4-12 month payback periods
Solar Heating & Cooling
Solar thermal systems offer faster paybacks than PV for water heating, radiant floor heating, and powering the absorption chillers that are commonly used for air conditioning, cold storage, and refrigeration in large commercial buildings with some cold storage applications having payback periods measured in months
LED Lights · HVAC · Chillers · Controls · Boilers · Refrigeration · and More
Lack of budget is the number one reason building equipment purchases like lights, chillers, and controls don’t get approved.
Building controls serve as the brain of a building and allow the implementation of demand response, demand charge management, time shifting of generation and loads, frequency regulation, voltage regulation, and smart curtailment of devices
Energy storage is increasingly economic for commercial projects with high demand charges, high utility time-of-use rate schedules, and/or mission critical infrastructure that must remain operational when the electric grid fails
Insulation, weather sealing, and window coatings reduce heating costs in winter and cooling costs in summer while delivering 2-5 year payback periods. Most other building envelope improvements like windows, roof, or siding replacement is not economic based on energy savings alone. | systems_science |

Contrary to popular belief, the reason light-enriched-uranium reactors are used, and not thorium or breeder reactors, is due to simple economics. To run breeder reactors and thorium reactors, the neutron density and heat density must be so great that high-temperature coolants must be used throughout the core.
The systems used to manage these coolants are as exotic as the coolants are. This leads to increased costs, on the order of 20%. This 20% is enough that utilities simply choose light-enriched-uranium so that the reactor core can be cool enough that cooling with water is possible and savings can offset the cost of mining the ridiculous quantities of natural uranium required. | systems_science |

Information from a variety of health care providers is collected and stored in a single record, providing a complete and accurate record of the key elements of an individual's personal health history. The protocol used to transfer data is HL7, which is an International standard for formatting, transmitting and receiving data in a healthcare environment.
Importantly, the individual decides who may or may not see information pertaining to previous health encounters. Because the system operates via the Internet, individuals have on-line access to their own personal Electronic Health Records.
Health care providers are able to access patient records at the point of a clinical encounter. This ensures that health care providers have important information about their patients' health and health care histories, enabling them to provide the best possible healthcare program. Diagnoses, treatments and outcomes will be vastly improved when health care providers have access to individual health information and can link that information to clinical support tools, as they become available.
The use of the eHR™.ZA will result in improvements in clinical processes, work efficiency, and continuity of care. Increased cost savings can also be achieved. For instance, having access to recent test results can provide huge cost savings by avoiding duplicate test requests.
Security and confidentiality will be improved as precautions have been put into place to ensure that the eHR™.ZA only grants access to those people who have a need to know and are duly authorised. This is mainly achieved by the use of fingerprint technology to ensure that the user is authenticated and it is also the means by which the patient grants consent.
The eHR™.ZA can produce benefits in managing chronic and infectious diseases by expanding the information available in the electronic health records to the primary health care level. The ability also exists for the linking of disability and welfare information into the record of an individual.
Electronic health and welfare records can provide aggregate data that can be used in health research and surveillance, programs such as PMTCT or ARV, tracking disease trends and monitoring the health status of the population.
The quality of health care delivery can be improved. The eHR™.ZA enhances the ability of managers and researchers to identify and react to problems that occur in the health care system, and improve patient safety and quality of care.
Lastly, patients can play a role in the management of their own healthcare, by being better informed about their conditions and their treatment plans.
Is the eHR™.ZA suitable for HIV clinics and monitoring ARV rollout?
The Electronic Patient Record service (eHR™.ZA) is designed to capture the encounter of a patient with a healthcare provider. There is no minimum set of clinical data to be captured, making it ideal to implement any kind of encounter details.
This makes it suitable for use in a situation where only the coded diagnosis (ICD-10) from an
encounter is required, or where just a laboratory result or a dispensed medicine needs to be
In addition, assessment, examination, measurements and results are all templates that are
user-configurable, and can vary per location and/or per specialty.
Thus in a scenario where an HIV clinic visit is being recorded, only the place, the date/time and
the medic are captured, together with the information defined for the protocol in use at that
The advantage of the design of the system is that when the patient attends a different clinic, or
is referred from the clinic to a hospital, the information concerning their clinic visits is
available to the hospital.
In the example of the HIV clinic referral, this means that the hospital is aware of the patients
CD-4 count, viral load, HAART regimen and any notes made at the clinic, irrespective of the
quality of the referring letter from the clinic.
The service is web-based and derives it's inputs from existing operational systems, or from the
web-based screens where no operational systems exist.
The other point to note, is that only a PC with an internet browser at the clinic is needed to
input or view this information. In addition, the service is hosted
inside the South African government network, SITA, thus there are no internet connection charges for a
clinic that is connected to the provincial 'OpenNet' network.
Obviously security and confidentiality in such a situation is of paramount importance. This has
been addressed by means of a biometric fingerprint solution, to ensure that both users and
patients are correctly identified. This also serves as the mechanism for patient consent.
Off-line ART capture program
There is also an off-line version of the ART system available. The idea is that plenty of clinics have a PC but few have reliable connections, making it difficult to use the on-line web-based system for data collection.
The off-line version of the program establishes no database at the site, making it easier to be installed and maintained. Instead, it acts very simply as a patient visit data capture tool, and saves the captured data to HL7 messages in text format. These can then be sent by email if there is a line available, else physically sent by stiffy, CD or memory stick to a regional/district office for transmission to the server, which sits inside the Government SITA network.
Once this data is in the eHR™.ZA system, the regional/district offices can extract their monthly reports through the browser interface, including the National and DORA reports, and treatment sites(most of these do have communications) have the patient treatment details available, no matter which clinic the patient attended previously.
There is no cost for using the system whatsoever, not for the off-line capture program nor for the repository and web-based use of the data.

An uncertain climate sees unpredictable inflows to our water storages.
Billions of litres of stormwater runoff our impervious urban landscapes, adversely impacting urban waterways and the bays.
These are just a few of the challenges now being tackled under a plan to make our urban landscapes more sustainable and liveable.
The Government's Living Victoria policy is driving generational change in how Melbourne uses rainwater, stormwater and wastewater for non-drinking purposes.
This will be achieved with the adoption of an integrated water cycle management approach which makes the best use of all the water resources available in a city or town.
The policy provides for better water services and reduces Victoria's energy and water use footprint in urban areas.
Using stormwater, rainwater and recycled water has the potential to provide billions of litres of alternative water as Melbourne's next major water augmentation.
This water will be used to replace the use of drinking water for non-drinking purposes, such as for sporting ovals, streetscapes, urban parks and gardens, water features and third pipe systems in homes.

Verda Kocabas, the Academic Chair for the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program at SAIT, is a geomatics guru, with a PhD in Geography from Simon Fraser University, and a career which includes consulting in the private sector. We spoke on how GIS has a boring name, but is actually mind-blowing, where the field is going, and some novel applications of new technologies:
Where is GIS used?
VK: Everything we do has to do with location. Any company or organization that uses location uses GIS. It’s a system that stores, manages, and analyzes spatial data to help decision makers. To some degree all industries and companies utilize GIS — the applications are limitless — and with technology changing and organizations understanding the power of GIS, [the impact of GIS] is increasing.
How have new technologies affected geomatics?
VK: One is the improvements of computer technology itself. We used to have floppy disks; now we have data centres, we have terabytes and terabytes of data storage, and the computers are now more powerful. What that means is that we can process more data. Ten years ago, you had to wait two days to get a result — now, it takes two minutes.
The other is new equipment, like UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] and drones – they are getting very popular. We are also now getting very detailed images from satellites, which we only used to get from aerial photography (imagery taken from fixed-winged, piloted aircraft). So we have more data, and better data.
The other part of technology is web-based applications, and smart phones. Uber uses maps and location all the time, so it’s a very simple GIS system. You can’t run it without your map, and [having the ability to] calculate the shortest route for the driver.
Laser scanning [using a laser/sensor system to map objects in 3D] has been getting more and more popular. It’s getting easier for users to get data out of laser scanning, and it’s getting more helpful. We used to have larger, half-million-dollar machines, but now we have smaller machines that now only cost $20,000. There are laser scanners that you hold in your hand, shake it, and walk to map an area — and in some applications that’s enough.
What are some situations where laser scanning is used?
VK: There are so many examples. One interesting example is in crime scene investigation. It’s so important to document the state of the crime scene to go back to it and analyze it, and the best way is a laser scan. If you have a large crime scene, a UAV might be a solution.
Another example is in building and design. One of our cap stones groups did a project where Rouge restaurant, a very old building, was thermal scanned to understand where the coolest points are. They then combined [that data] with a laser scan of the building, to create a model in 3D. If you’re an architect or a restoration expert, you use that data.
What is your research on?
VK: It’s spatial modeling to predict urban growth. It looks at the next 20 years, and how people like us will pick locations [to live] in the city based on their characteristics and their preferences, and then show how the city will grow in the next 20 years, including across different scenarios. The idea was to help urban planners and policy makers make decisions for the city.
What do you do as SAIT GIS academic chair?

A mysql database should be created manually. Two generic users should be created - one, with access to create, drop, insert, query, and update tables in the database, and another, for just querying the tables. Before creating the database, you may want to set
in your my.cnf file (and restart the server), so that words of a minimum length of 3 (eg, "net" and "ftp") are indexed.
Creating, and subsequently updating the database, is controlled through the use of the csl_index script in the bin/ subdirectory. The various options needed to set up the database, including the name, password, and database name to be used, are specified through a configuration file - run the script build/gen_conf.pl to create a minimal such file. Once this is set up,
perl csl_index --config /path/to/csl_config.conf --setup will initially create and populate the needed tables, after which
perl csl_index --config /path/to/csl_config.conf will update it. See the embedded pod documentation for details.
A number of example interfaces for querying the database are included:
found as cgi-bin/soap.cgi
as cgi-bin/docserver.cgi, and the required module as lib/Pod/Perldocs.pm (requires Pod::Perldoc).
Apache2::CPAN::Query, for a mod_perl interface
For the cgi-bin and mod_perl interfaces, example Template-Toolkit pages are included in the tt2/ subdirectory. Note that some of these scripts and the tt2 config file will require manual editing for urls reflecting the local server, the location of the tt2 pages, and the username, password, and name of the database to be used when connecting to the database for performing queries. See the embedded pod docs for details.
In the htdocs/ directory there are some files: faq.html, for some faqs, dslip.html, for some information on the dslip entry in the information for packages, style.css, a css style file, and ppm.html, for some information on using ppm on Win32.
Support is available for different languages (based on the preference set in the browser). Translations occurs within the language-specific modules of CPAN::Search::Lite::Lang::*. The default language used is "en" (English), if the user's preference isn't available. | systems_science |

Most of the time, these possible issues or even the current ones are made imminent by a warning light on the car’s dashboard.
With the help of scan tools, technicians can save time diagnosing and repairing problems related to the anti-lock brake system, air bags, engine, and more.
For those who don’t know, OBDII scanner is integrated with nine standard modes of operation that are used by scan tools to perform different functions. One of them is Mode 6 which specifically shows data for non-continuous monitors.
In this article, we will briefly discuss OBDII Mode 6 is and its significance in car diagnostics and repair.
What is OBDII Mode 6
OBDII Mode 6 is one of the OBDII modes defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
As indicated by both organizations, Mode 6 contains “test results for continuously and non-continuously monitored systems.”
To get a clearer understanding about what Mode 6 does, this is how it works:
A vehicle performs some tests on its systems and components like on the evaporative emission control system (EVAP), catalytic converter, and the oxygen sensors.
Once the test results are already available, they are saved by the engine computer in Mode 6. This is where a scan tool looks for results that would help technicians determine if a car is going to pass an emission test or not.
In the simplest sense, OBDII Mode 6 can be referred to as a technician’s virtual door to the car manufacturer’s “electronic strategy.” Whatever criteria or parameters that the software engineer was thinking during the development of the car, like for example the Check Engine car Lights, can be basically seen on Mode 6.
One important thing to know about Mode 6 is that its functionality is defined by every car manufacturer, thus it differs depending on the make and model. Moreover, not all scan tools are designed to support it. | systems_science |

Title : Intelligence in the Age of Big Data
- Abstract :
- In February 2011, Watson (IBM super computer) managed to beat two past grand champions on the TV quiz show Jeopardy!. Watson was able to answer questions that require intelligence when done by humans. This marked the first machine to pass the Turing test and started a new era of computing called cognitive computing where computers (modeled after the human brain) learn and interact naturally with people in order to augment what either humans or machines could do on their own. Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc., using big data technologies, smart machine learning, cognitive computing, NLP and AI algorithms were able to tap into our intensions by predicting what we click, buy, like, dislike, shop, surf, etc.,. This marked the era of smart Web or data intelligence where Turing test is reversed and machines now try to figure out who we are, our information needs, our behavioral patterns, the activities we are engaged in and our goals. Together with the torrents of data we leave behind us every time we communicate with the digital eco-system, a new era of human-machine cooperation is starting that gives us millions of potential insights into user experience, marketing, personal tastes, and human behavior. In this talk, we are going to illustrate, through motivating cases, examples, and research directions, the main characteristics of this era and how it can transform the way we interact with the Web to ultimately improve the quality of our lives and gain valuable insights into our affective, mental and physical states.

Next I will present a summary of particular features I have focused on. It is not a complete list of features; nonetheless, I consider that they are some of the most important for a local development environment focused on customer work.
Both Docksal and Lando are managed from the command line; none of them have a graphic user interface. Both options provide a command line with different (but similar) commands. As an example, we have:
- To start the containers of a project :lando start, fin start. (“Fin” being the Docksal command line)
- To stop the project containers: lando stop, fin stop.
As Lando evolved from Kalabox, there are talks of a GUI available as part of a paid version in the future.
As both options are based on Docker, each project on your local storage has its own set of containers. I have found that a project requires around 500 MB of storage space (without taking into account the project data). Obviously, this can rapidly accumulate according to the amount of projects that are on the local. This can add up quickly depending on how many projects you keep on your local system.
Compatibility with the Drupal console and Drush
Docksal and the Lando command line provide a command to execute Drush commands: fin drush
Support and documentation
Both options have problem support resources and real-time chat support. Additionally, both have a relatively good documentation if both their rapid-development timeline and their frequent additions and updates are taken into account.
The update frequency is both a security measure and the project drive. In both cases, the development is ongoing as updates are very frequent.
- Docksal: last version 1.17.0, April 15, 2022
- Lando: last version 3.6.5, April 22, 2022
Docksal can be executed without internet connection, adding manually an entry to its host file through the command "fin hosts add mysite.docksal".
Lando hasx a documentation page about offline development, but it is only for Mac OS X and the process is a bit more complicated.
Both Lando and Docksal have the ability to exchange different versions of PBP through their configuration files.
Docksal allows you to select a php.ini file as a part of the project configuration. The guidelines of this file will override any default PHP configuration provided by the container.
Lando has some support for some PHP configurations as part of its configuration files, and it also supports a php.ini file as a part of the project configuration.
With both tools, it is possible to enter the CLI container and modify the php.ini configuration directly; nonetheless, with this approach these changes are only temporary, the next time that the container is built, the personalized php.ini will be lost.
The method that I used to calculate the time of execution was taking a real-client site (Drupal 8), put it to work on both programs (sequentially) and measuring the rime that it took to execute a "drush cache-rebuild all". I executed the command three times for each option, and then I calculated the average. Other factors that depend on the site and configuration can come into play (having Xdebug enabled could have an impact on performance) and so the times might vary.
- Docksal: 20 seconds
- Lando: 89 seconds
Docksal has an “automatic stand-alone CLI container”. This is a container that is not linked to a specific project, and it is always available. A big advantage of this container is that it can be used to execute Composer commands without having Composer downloaded in the host operating system. This is an advantage on Windows because installing composer can be complicated (due to its dependence on PHP).
Docksal uses a separate command to start and stop its main virtual machine (fin vm start/stop). It is not an issue, only an additional step (but the performance gains are worth it, as previously shown).
Docksal is fast. But once the maintainers decide to use of the Mac/ Windows predetermined Docker, it will be on equal footing with Lando, but for now it is just fast. I also like that Docksal includes a “fin run-cli" command that allows the Composer commands (e.g., “composer create-project”) to run before configuration of the containers of a project. I find it very useful.
Lando’s integration with Pantheon is very good. The ability to push and pull code, databases, and/or files facilitates Pantheon site integration. | systems_science |

Based on the observation that multi-user virtual worlds are becoming an increasingly important phenomenon in the Internet-based Cyberspace (see for example www.blaxxun.com and www.colonycity.com), we propose to investigate the indexing and retrieval problem for multi-user virtual worlds.
Our research is meant to extend the ACOI framework for the indexing and retrieval of multimedia objects by providing special purpose feature detectors for virtual worlds, that fit within the ACOI architecture. The ACOI architecture is built around a Monet database that stores information concerning the structure and contents of multimedia objects available on the World Wide Web. The assumption underlying the indexing and retrieval model underlying the ACOI framework is that the structure and contents of multimedia objects may be expressed by a grammar that is augmented with media-specific detectors for analysing the object. These detectors act as token generators, providing the information to be stored in the Monet database.
For the construction of feature detectors for multi-user virtual worlds, we need to develop the technology to analyse world description files and VRML encodings of the geometric structure and objects contained in a world, and an ontology or knowledge representation to store and reason about the contents of the world and its relation to other worlds. Further we need to investigate how we can assist the end user in formulating and refining queries with respect to locations within a world, informational resources contained within a world, and navigational preferences, that is the wish to migrate to different worlds.
The initial approach will be to extend the musical feature detector, see MIDI, which is based on a combination of feature grammars and descriptive logic, to the contents of virtual world. In a later stage, we will combine our virtual world feature detector with the other multimedia feature detectors developed within the ACOI framework. To validate our approach, we intend to create a small virtual world ourselves, in order to establish the effectiveness of our indexing and retrieval method.
Our research will result in actual feature detectors running within the ACOI framework, a knowledge representation or ontology for collecting information about virtual worlds, and appropriate applets to formulate queries and deliver a report of the outcome of consulting the ACOI index database. | systems_science |

Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare systems play a key role in the growth of medical information systems. Tracking, tracing, and monitoring of patients are essential to enhance the healthcare system. However, due to an inadequate healthcare situation, current medical technologies with the available tools cannot meet the same accurately. Dependency of healthcare on IoT is increasing day by day to improve access to care, enhance the quality of care, and most importantly to limit the cost of care. IoT eliminates the need for a health care professional by providing a ubiquitous monitoring system using sensors, gateways, and cloud, to analyze and store the data and communicate it wirelessly to medical professionals for further analysis.
The emergence and need for inventory management, improving workflow management, growing digitalization in healthcare management systems, and the increasing penetration of connected devices is expected to boost the demand for Internet of Things (IoT) in the healthcare market in the coming years. However, high initial cost of investment is expected to be one of the restraints that hinder the market.

https://worldenv.com/the-future-of-industrial-hygiene-monitoring/ | 2024-04-18T17:20:11 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817222.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418160034-20240418190034-00124.warc.gz | 0.917684 | 761 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__15961812 | en | Industrial hygiene monitoring plays a crucial role in maintaining a safe and healthy work environment. It’s a field that’s constantly evolving, driven by technological advancements and innovative research. As we look to the future, several key trends are emerging that promise to reshape the landscape of industrial hygiene monitoring. Let’s explore what’s on the horizon.
The Current State of Industrial Hygiene Monitoring
Before we delve into the future, it’s important to understand the current state of industrial hygiene monitoring. At its core, this discipline involves assessing and controlling environmental factors in the workplace that could cause illness or injury. This includes monitoring exposure to chemical, physical, and biological hazards, and implementing measures to mitigate these risks.
The Rise of Real-Time Monitoring
One of the most significant trends in industrial hygiene monitoring is the shift towards real-time monitoring. Traditional methods often involve taking samples and sending them to a lab for analysis, a process that can take days or even weeks. Real-time monitoring systems, on the other hand, provide instant feedback, allowing for immediate action when hazardous conditions are detected.
The Role of Wearable Technology
Wearable technology is another innovation that’s making waves in industrial hygiene monitoring. Devices like smartwatches, fitness trackers, and even smart clothing can monitor vital signs and exposure to environmental hazards, providing a wealth of data that can be used to assess worker health and safety. As these technologies continue to evolve, we can expect them to become an even more integral part of industrial hygiene monitoring.
The Impact of Big Data and AI
The rise of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) is also set to have a profound impact on industrial hygiene monitoring. These technologies can analyze vast amounts of data, identifying patterns and trends that might be missed by human analysts. This can lead to more accurate risk assessments and more effective interventions. AI can also be used to predict potential hazards, providing an early warning system that could prevent accidents before they occur.
The Promise of Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter on an atomic or molecular scale, holds great promise for the future of industrial hygiene monitoring. For example, nanosensors could be used to detect microscopic particles or chemical vapors, providing a level of sensitivity that’s currently unattainable with traditional monitoring methods. While this technology is still in its early stages, it’s a field that’s ripe for exploration and could revolutionize industrial hygiene monitoring.
The Importance of Interdisciplinary Collaboration
The future of industrial hygiene monitoring isn’t just about technological advancements. It’s also about fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. By bringing together experts from fields like toxicology, epidemiology, engineering, and data science, we can develop more comprehensive and effective monitoring strategies. This collaborative approach is likely to become even more important as we face increasingly complex occupational health challenges.
The future of industrial hygiene monitoring is exciting, with numerous trends and innovations set to reshape the field. From real-time monitoring and wearable technology to big data, AI, and nanotechnology, these advancements promise to enhance our ability to protect worker health and safety.
However, it’s important to remember that technology is just one piece of the puzzle. To truly advance industrial hygiene monitoring, we also need to invest in research, education, and policy development. By doing so, we can ensure that we’re not just reacting to occupational health hazards, but proactively preventing them.
In the end, the goal of industrial hygiene monitoring remains the same: to create a safe and healthy work environment for all. With the help of these emerging trends and innovations, we’re well on our way to achieving that goal. | systems_science |

While it is unlikely that in the future every undesirable task will be undertaken by a robot, there are certain areas where they are certain to make an impact.
The Impact of Robots on Policing and Defence
Policing is such an infinitely varied task that robots will not be up to the task for twenty to fifty years or more.
However, certain specific tasks such as approaching a terrorist who might be wearing a suicide vest is so hazardous that it would be a task better suited to a robot. Similarly searching and clearing a building with one or more gunmen inside, for whom suicide may be wanted, is extremely hazardous for policemen and soldiers.
Robots have been developed for these tasks and the evolution will continue.
The technology has advanced to such a stage that pilotless aircraft are now being used by over eighty countries
As for defence, many modern military aircraft are designed to be highly manoeuvrable while being almost invisible to radar. The resulting design compromises make the aircraft too unstable to fly by any human pilot. The planes are flown by computers, with the pilot instructing the computers. The technology has advanced to such a stage that pilotless aircraft, unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) or drones are now being used by over eighty countries. It has been reported that there are now more UAVs in the US Air Force than piloted planes.
Robots and Medical Surgery
There are a few surgical operations that require so many precisely made incisions that they are better suited to robots.
In cancer cases it is vital to remove all the cancer cells, but removal of adjacent healthy cells can impair the patient significantly. In some brain operations cancerous cells are located by an MRI scan and the locations are transmitted directly to the robot surgeon. Prostate surgery can also be done more successfully by robot in some cases because of the greater precision of the machine.
Robots and the Home
General purpose domestic robots are highly unlikely to appear in the next fifty years. This is because those tasks that we might want them for, such as ironing, making beds, climbing stairs, are all hard problems that would need expensive solutions. A robot that could do just one of these tasks would cost as much as a luxury car.
Robots that could do one or two very simple tasks such as monitor the health or provide company for the elderly or infirm are however very likely in the next ten to twenty years. Some basic companion robots already exist.
At the moment, nearly every household could have one or more single purpose robots such as floor cleaners and lawnmowers. However I cannot envisage a time in the next fifty years when nearly every household will have a general purpose robot because the cost of such a machine would be so much more than a human maid, au pair, nanny or carer.
Robots and Human Emotions
In the future, robots will have emotional intelligence, or to be more precise, robots will be able to show most, if not all, of the signs and behaviours of emotional intelligence.
The robots will not "feel", but like actors they will be able to show emotional intelligence. I would expect robots to develop levels of emotional intelligence that will be greater than most humans. Of the various aspects of emotional intelligence I would expect robots to be better than most humans at: thinking, judgement, problem solving, openness, self-control, self-analysis, and paying attention to and identifying people's feelings and emotions, for example.
However, robots wouldn't be accepted by most people as a replacement for a partner or child. Though some do accept surrogate partners, for example dolls and pets, for the vast majority of people a robot would fall so far short of a human that this would not be a possibility, even perhaps in a hundred years or more.
The cost of producing such a machine would be more than many companies could afford. The technology is probably more than fifty years away. But with advances in artificial hearts, lungs, eyes, ears skin and so on and the creation of part machine part human is possible technically. Such machines would be cyborgs or cybernetic organisms. Human beings with brain, heart, cochlea and other implants do exist already.
The Danger of Robots to the Human Race
Everything that is useful has within it the potential to be abused. As such there are dangers inherent in robots; just as there are with motor cars, trains, ships and aeroplanes.
On balance all these technologies have proved to be good things. It will be so with robots.
It has been said that if robots become more intelligent than us, if we are lucky, they might keep us as pets. If we are unlucky they might treat us in the same way as we treat chickens, pigs and cows.
There is a potential risk that corrupt dictators will create armies of killer robots. Provided the democracies stay technically ahead, as with other potential military technology, there will be an overall benefit to humanity from robots. The bigger risk will be if the democracies allow the dictatorships to become technologically more advanced.
Everything that is useful has within it the potential to be abused
If problems arise potential ill effects can be curtailed as they arise on a case by case, trial and error basis. We must be careful not to stifle development as legislators did with the advent of the motor car when people were required to walk in front of the cars waving red flags. | systems_science |
https://ashikul.info/have-you-got-experience-in-design-tokens/ | 2023-11-28T14:20:24 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679099514.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128115347-20231128145347-00781.warc.gz | 0.910679 | 395 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__39573852 | en | Design tokens are a valuable tool in the field of design systems, helping maintain visual consistency and streamline the design-to-development process. They are essentially a set of reusable, platform-agnostic design decisions that are abstracted into variables. These variables capture design properties like colors, typography, spacing, and more.
Here are some key points about design tokens:
- Consistency: Design tokens ensure that design decisions are consistent across various digital platforms and devices. This consistency is crucial for creating a unified user experience.
- Abstracted Values: Design tokens abstract design decisions into values that can be easily understood and used by both designers and developers. For example, instead of specifying a color as “blue,” a design token might define it as “$primary-blue.”
- Platform Agnostic: Design tokens are typically platform-agnostic, meaning they can be used in web, mobile apps, and other digital interfaces. This makes it easier to maintain consistency across different products and platforms.
- Centralized Management: Design tokens are often stored in a central repository or document that both designers and developers can reference. This centralization helps ensure that everyone is using the same design values.
- Updates and Iteration: When design decisions need to change (e.g., updating a primary brand color), design tokens make it easier to implement these changes consistently throughout a project.
- Efficiency: Design tokens can speed up the development process. Developers can reference design tokens directly in their code, which reduces the need for constant communication with designers.
- Scalability: Design tokens are particularly beneficial for large design systems and organizations where maintaining consistency across numerous products and teams is challenging.
To work effectively with design tokens, it’s essential to have a well-documented design system and clear guidelines for how design tokens should be used. Many design tools and platforms also offer features or plugins for managing and using design tokens effectively. | systems_science |

Mid to big companies might have hundreds to hundreds of desktop. Each desktop has standard software application that allows staff to accomplish computing jobs without the treatment of the organization's IT department. This supplies the primary tenet of desktop computer: encouraging customers to increase productivity as well as lower prices with decentralized computer.
As the world's most preferred desktop computer data source, Microsoft Accessibility is made use of in mostly all organizations that utilize Microsoft Windows. As individuals end up being a lot more proficient in the procedure of these applications, they begin to identify remedies to service tasks that they themselves could carry out. The all-natural development of this process is that spreadsheets and data sources are produced as well as maintained by end-users to manage their day-to-day tasks.
This vibrant allows both performance and also dexterity as customers are equipped to solve service troubles without the treatment of their company's Information Technology infrastructure. Microsoft Gain access to matches this space by supplying a desktop database atmosphere where end-users could swiftly establish database applications with tables, inquiries, types and also records. Accessibility is suitable for inexpensive solitary individual or workgroup data source applications.
But this power comes with a price. As more individuals utilize Microsoft Access to manage their job, problems of information safety and security, dependability, maintainability, scalability and also monitoring become severe. The people who developed these solutions are seldom trained to be data source experts, programmers or system administrators. As data sources grow out of the abilities of the original writer, they need to relocate right into a more durable setting.
While some people consider this a reason that end-users should not ever make use of Microsoft Access, we consider this to be the exception as opposed to the regulation. A lot of Microsoft Accessibility databases are created by end-users and also never ever need to graduate to the next level. Carrying out a method to develop every end-user data source "professionally" would be a big waste of resources.
For the unusual Microsoft Gain access to data sources that are so effective that they should advance, SQL Server supplies the following all-natural progression. Without losing the existing financial investment in the application (table styles, data, inquiries, kinds, records, macros and also components), data can be transferred to SQL Server and the Access database linked to it. As Soon As in SQL Server, other platforms such as Aesthetic Studio.NET can be made use of to produce Windows, web and/or mobile remedies. The Access database application may be totally changed or a hybrid service could be produced.
To find out more, review our paper Microsoft Access within a Company's Total Data source Approach.
Microsoft Accessibility as well as SQL Database Architectures
Microsoft Access is the premier desktop data source product readily available for Microsoft Windows. Considering that its intro in 1992, Gain access to has actually supplied a versatile system for beginners and power customers to develop single-user as well as tiny workgroup database applications.
Microsoft Accessibility has actually taken pleasure in terrific success since it originated the principle of stepping users via a difficult task with making use of Wizards. This, along with an user-friendly inquiry designer, among the most effective desktop computer coverage tools and the inclusion of macros and also a coding setting, all contribute to making Access the most effective option for desktop data source development.
Since Access is designed to be easy to use as well as friendly, it was never intended as a platform for the most reliable and durable applications. Generally, upsizing ought to take place when these characteristics become crucial for the application. Fortunately, the adaptability of Gain access to allows you to upsize to SQL Server in a range of ways, from a quick economical, data-moving circumstance to complete application redesign.
Gain access to gives an abundant range of data styles that allow it to handle data in a variety of means. When taking into consideration an upsizing project, it is important to comprehend the selection of means Accessibility may be configured to utilize its native Jet database format and SQL Server in both solitary and multi-user settings.
Accessibility and also the Jet Engine
Microsoft Access has its own database published here engine-- the Microsoft Jet Database Engine (likewise called the ACE with Gain access to 2007's intro of the ACCDB layout). Jet was developed from the beginning to sustain single individual as well as multiuser data sharing on a lan. Data sources have an optimum dimension of 2 GB, although an Access database could link to other databases through connected tables and numerous backend databases to workaround the 2 GB limit.
However Accessibility is more than a database engine. It is additionally an application development atmosphere that allows customers to design questions, create types and reports, and write macros and Aesthetic Basic for Applications (VBA) module code to automate an application. In its default arrangement, Gain access to utilizes Jet internally to store its style items such as kinds, records, macros, and also components and also uses Jet to save all table data.
One of the primary advantages of Access upsizing is that you could revamp your application to continue to use its types, reports, macros and modules, as well as replace the Jet Engine with SQL Server. This allows the best of both globes: the simplicity of use of Accessibility with the reliability as well as safety and security of SQL Server.
Before you try to convert an Access database to SQL Server, make sure you recognize:
Which applications belong in Microsoft Access vs. SQL Server? Not every data source must be changed.
The reasons for upsizing your database. Ensure SQL Server offers you exactly what you look for.
The tradeoffs for doing so. There are pluses as well as minuses depending on just what you're aiming to optimize. Ensure you are not migrating to SQL Server exclusively for efficiency reasons.
In most cases, efficiency decreases when an application is upsized, specifically for reasonably small databases (under 200 MB).
Some efficiency problems are unconnected to the backend data source. Improperly designed inquiries and table style will not be repaired by upsizing. Microsoft Gain access to tables offer some attributes that SQL Server tables do not such as an automatic refresh when the data adjustments. SQL Server calls for a specific requery.
Options for Migrating Microsoft Access to SQL Server
There are several choices for holding SQL Server data sources:
A regional circumstances of SQL Express, which is a free version of SQL Server can be mounted on each individual's maker
A shared SQL Server data source on your network
A cloud host such as SQL Azure. Cloud hosts have safety that restriction which IP addresses can get information, so fixed IP addresses and/or VPN is necessary.
There are many ways to upsize your Microsoft Accessibility databases to SQL Server:
Relocate the data to SQL Server as well as connect to it from your Access database while protecting the existing Gain access to application.
Adjustments might be should sustain SQL Server inquiries and distinctions from Access data sources.
Convert an Accessibility MDB database to an Access Information Project (ADP) that attaches directly to a SQL Server data source.
Because ADPs were deprecated in Accessibility 2013, we do not advise this option.
Usage Microsoft Access with MS Azure.
With Office365, your data is uploaded right into a SQL Server database hosted by SQL Azure with an Access Internet front end
Appropriate for standard viewing and also modifying of data across the web
However, Accessibility Internet Applications do not have the personalization showcases similar to VBA in Gain access to desktop options
Move the whole application to the.NET Structure, ASP.NET, as well as SQL Server system, or recreate it on SharePoint.
A crossbreed service that places the here are the findings information in SQL Server with an additional front-end plus a Gain access to front-end data source.
SQL Server can be the standard version held on a venture high quality server or a complimentary SQL Server Express version mounted on your COMPUTER
Database Obstacles in a Company
Every organization has to overcome database challenges to accomplish their objective. These challenges consist of:
• Maximizing return on investment
• Managing personnels
• Rapid release
• Flexibility and also maintainability
• Scalability (secondary).
Making the most of roi is more crucial compared to ever. Monitoring requires tangible outcomes for the pricey investments in database application development. Lots of data source growth initiatives fail to generate the results they promise. Selecting the ideal modern technology and also strategy for each degree in an organization is crucial to optimizing roi. This implies choosing the best total return, which does not mean selecting the least costly initial remedy. This Source is often the most vital choice a chief information policeman (CIO) or primary technology police officer (CTO) makes.
Handling Human Resources.
Managing people to customize technology is challenging. The even more complex the innovation or application, the less individuals are certified to handle it, and the extra expensive they are to employ. Turn over is always a concern, and having the right standards is critical to efficiently sustaining tradition applications. Training as well as staying on top of technology are likewise challenging.
Developing data source applications quickly is necessary, not just for reducing expenses, but also for responding to interior or customer needs. The capacity to develop applications quickly provides a significant competitive advantage.
The IT supervisor is accountable for offering alternatives and making tradeoffs to support the business needs of the company. By utilizing different modern technologies, you can provide service choice makers options, such as a 60 percent remedy in three months, a 90 percent solution in twelve months, or a 99 percent option in twenty-four months. (Instead of months, maybe dollars.) In some cases, time to market is most crucial, various other times it may be price, and other times attributes or protection are essential. Demands change rapidly as well as are uncertain. We live in a "sufficient" instead of a perfect world, so understanding the best ways to deliver "sufficient" options swiftly offers you and also your organization a competitive edge.
Adaptability and also Maintainability.
Despite having the most effective system style, by the time numerous month advancement efforts are completed, needs modification. Versions comply with versions, and also a system that's created to be adaptable and also able to accommodate change could mean the distinction in between success and failure for the individuals' professions.
Systems should be made to take care of the expected information and also even more. However many systems are never ever completed, are disposed of quickly, or alter a lot in time that the preliminary assessments are wrong. Scalability is necessary, yet usually lesser compared to a quick option. If the application successfully supports development, scalability can be added later on when it's monetarily justified. | systems_science |

Last Content Update:
The MONTCO datacenter was in desperate need of a rebuild; the raised floor was failing in multiple locations and caused serious hazards to personnel.
The datacenter was also refitted with a new Power Distribution Unit (PDU). This new PDU is able to support all the new equipment and distribute power throughout the datacenter more efficiently; thus saving money on power.
We also installed a new Battery Backup Unit. This unit provides battery power, power conditioning and suppression in the event of a power spike or failure.
Lastly, the datacenter was outfitted with a 300KVA diesel generator. This generator supplies continuous power to all of the County’s server based systems, firewalls, internet connections and VoIP systems. This generator ensures business can continue in the event of a power outage.
Storage Area Network (SAN)
The IT department introduced a SAN to meet the ever growing storage needs of the different County offices. Prior to this implementation much of the County’s data was stored on old, out of date, non-replicated and less efficient Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices. These NAS devices had a high failure rate and very poor performance; these two points contributed to a decrease in productivity throughout all County departments.
Once the SAN was implemented and all the data was migrated from the NAS devices, we realized increased performance and speed across all County departments. IT decommissioned all the old NAS devices and began to scale down our data network to a far more manageable system. Doing so allowed us to free up 40% of our Data Network Engineers for other projects. We could also backup our data and recover it within minutes. The SAN is also the corner stone for our Server Virtualization Project.
In 2012 County IT along with the support of the Commissioners and Chief Clerk decided to migrate from the on premise Exchange Server environment to a cloud based system. There were several reasons that drove this project, an aging server fleet, out of date and out of compliance Exchange systems, capacity and many others.
An RFP was released in 2012 for a suitable system, the County decided on the Office 365 solution. After a successful migration we were able to decommission all 8 of our old on-site Exchange servers, eliminate Exchange backups, increase right to know turnaround times as they relate to email, provide a far more stable email infrastructure and reduce the amount of time it takes to administrate email for the County by 70%.
The County was also spotlighted for this achievement and helped several other Counties around the country through collaboration and evaluating.
Server Virtualization Project
The IT department successfully virtualized 70% of its server infrastructure using Microsoft’s Hyper-V virtualization platform. This virtualization initiative allowed us to scale down and consolidate over 100 physical servers and appliances. For example, we had a totaling of eight, 6 foot server racks for all this equipment, we now have two server racks for all this equipment. As a result, we are able to “spin up” new servers on-demand and without spending dollars on new hardware. Our turnaround time for server procurement is hours, instead of days or weeks.
Our virtualization initiative along with the Hyper-V platform is estimated to have saved MONTCO approximately $700,000.00 over the last 5 years in hardware alone.
This project also introduced a level of Business Continuance and Disaster Recovery not realized by MONTCO until this solution was implemented and tested. We are now able to recover entire systems and services in hours instead of days. We are also able to provide test and development systems at no additional cost.
Core Network Upgrade
The IT department also upgraded its core infrastructure to accommodate higher speeds and bandwidth across its fully redundant fiber ring that connects the majority of County facilities. We were able to upgrade from a 1GB backbone to a 40GB backbone. We are currently running at 10GB of bandwidth and have yet to come close to using all of it.
This upgrade paved the way for future projects such as VoIP, Internet connectivity, Backups and VDI. IT was able to provision this additional backbone for less than we paid for the original 1GB service. Lastly, IT was able to negotiate and retain the original 1GB backbone in this new agreement. IT made this provision to enable Security and EOC to use this dedicated backbone for surveillance systems.
Internet Bandwidth Upgrade
IT upgraded the County’s Internet bandwidth, increasing capacity from a single 100meg connection to two 1Gig connections. This 200% increase was acquired through RFP and through datacenter sharing with the Montgomery County Intermediary Unit (MCIU). MONTCO agreed to give the MCIU datacenter space for free Internet bandwidth. This allowed the MCIU to use space in our datacenter for low rent and in return the MCIU gave us 2Gig of free internet capacity.
Our Internet bandwidth is now fully redundant and can support our ever growing Cloud, SaaS and Virtual systems strategies.
New Phone System (VoIP)
The IT department recently deployed a new VoIP system for all County facilities and departments; this new system also included Multipoint Video Conferencing for our end user base, mobile phone apps for smartphone users and a new Data Switch Infrastructure. These new systems enabled our user community to better communicate and collaborate with fellow staff members as well as their customers, we were able to help increase productivity using these new tools while simultaneously reducing costs across all telecommunications platforms.
For example, we were able to stop issuing County provided cell phones for users because of the VoIP mobile phone application. Employees are able to use the application on their personal devices safely, securely and without having to divulge their personal cell number. In a conservative estimate IT was able to reduce the amount of County cell phones by 100 or more; the total amount of dollars saved is estimated at $5,000.00 for the hardware (phones) and another $6,000.00 a year in cell services.
This new VoIP system also allowed us to change our carrier plan to a SIP service; this allowed us to reduce amount of copper lines and rely more on our internet circuits. This bill was reduced by $20,000.00 per month.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
The IT department performed a pilot program over a 2 year period for VDI using VMWare. This pilot was such a success we had no issue justifying the production costs. Here are a few of the highlights:
1. IT introduced hoteling to the County; as a result we were able to help lower cost for new space, by reducing the amount of space needed for each employee. This enabled the County to save dollars on rent.
2. We were able to introduce BYOD in a safe, secure manner. This further reduced our operational cost because some users opted to use their personal devices.
3. Productivity rose more than 300% in some areas. Our Senior Services area reached a productivity increase of 300% while using VDI for only 17 of its workers. Because of this the department was able to save dollars in staffing through attrition. Other departments have also realized a major productivity increases, but AAS is by far the greatest at this time.
4. All of the departments using VDI are now truly mobile. Our caseworkers, detectives, sheriffs and inspectors use VDI and the VoIP to conduct business on a daily bases and never miss a beat.
5. The administration of the VDI desktops is simpler and easier to use, because of this MONTCO did not have a need to hire any additional IT staff to support the system.
6. Standardization of user desktops has led to greater security and updates on all VDI systems.
New County Website (MONTCOPA.ORG)
In 2012 the IT department at MONTCO released an RFP for a new County website. We took the opportunity to overhaul, enhance and modernize the County’s site; the result was the CCAP best County website award for 2013.
Voter Services Website
In 2014 the IT department in conjunction with the Voter Services department released an RFP to have a new Voter Services Election Night Results Website built. The new site provides real-time tally results with the help of an interactive County map. During the last primary, the website received more than one million requests. | systems_science |

Open systems also tend to work better and fit your particular needs better due to more vibrant innovation spurred on by diverse development communities.
Finding people who can work with these open systems can be less costly than for commercial systems due to their grass-roots popularity. In other words, more common systems are simpler to find support for.
Proprietary operating systems such as SolarisTM are not considered open here, even though SunTM considers the hardware platform open since they license external processor production and formerly permitted low-end workstation clones. True openness means availability of source code, free or generous licensing, and general independence from closed, proprietary systems.
Source code is the programming instructions that tell the computer what to do, in humanly readable and writeable form. Source code is typically compiled into binary form which is machine-usable but not humanly readable. Shrink-wrapped commercial software is almost always shipped in binary form; what's there will hopefully do what you need and not crash. If it doesn't, there's nothing you can do about it except hope for improvements in a next version or look for a different vendor. Sometimes neither remedy is available.Other types of software systems include custom, or semi-custom applications. Such applications tend to be larger and more broad-ranging in their capabilities than off-the-shelf programs. For example such systems may run your entire company from payroll to billing to sales to manufacturing. For example, Oracle, Peoplesoft, SAP vendors often create custom applications for their customers. The result is often built on existing modules and configurations, allowing some re-use of existing work, for what I would call a semi-custom application. For large applications a completely customized program (written from scratch) is not practical. For smaller requirements it may be. To date these applications have been run on closed operating systems, but with the growing corporate mainstreaming of Linux that too may change.
With access to the source code a competent programmer can read and hopefully understand how the system works. This makes it possible to fix problems that are found, or to change or extend the capabilities of the system by modifying and/or adding to the source code and re-compiling. This allows for a lot more control over what's going on and greater self-sufficiency in using the software, assuming you have access to appropriate programming skills.
The most common and widespread non-proprietary operating systems (that is, other than MicrosoftTM WindowsTM) run on the mass-volume PC platform. The PC is an example of open hardware design since the standards are openly developed and freely available. This openness is almost certainly the reason for its success. It's true that IBM, which decided to make it open, has not greatly benefitted directly from it, however the PC's ubiquity has strongly fueled the expanding information age and empowered many individuals and groups as never before. | systems_science |

--sketch flags), as well as the directory generated as the result of running the
generate-permit-list command of
alevin-fry, and it will produce an output RAD file that is collated by (corrected) cellular barcode. The collated RAD file can then be quantified with the
quant command. It also takes two other arguments (described below) that dictate how the collation and filtering will be performed.
-r, --rad-dir <rad-dir>: The directory containing the RAD file to be collated. This is the same directory on which you have previously run
generate-permit-listand that was obtained by running
-i, --input-dir <input-dir>: The input directory. This is the directory that was the output of
generate-permit-list. This directory contains information computed by the
generate-permit-listcommand that will allow successful collation and barcode correction. This is also the directory where the collated RAD file will be output.
--compress: This optional flag will tell
alevin-fryto compress the output collated RAD file. The file will be compressed using the Snappy compression format (via the excellent snap crate. If this option is passed, the output file will be written to
map.collated.rad, and the corresponding status of the file’s compression will be written to
collate.jsonin the output file. Note: The choice to use compression or not has no effect on the final result or the correctness of the output, but it may have some moderate performance implications. Specifically, it is potentially worth using this flag if you want to minimize disk space, and if you are using a sufficiently large number of threads (as compression happens in parallel, a sufficient number of threads will allow the compressed RAD file to be generated as quickly as the uncompressed). However, because some internal buffers must be duplicated during parallel compression, the collate step can use a bit more memory if run with the
--compressflag, though the memory usage should still be small and stable over different sized inputs. There can also be an effect on quantification speed (since the collated RAD file will be decompressed on the fly during quantification), but it should be small since Snappy decompresses very fast, and decompression will only be the limiting factor if you are using a simple resolution strategy (e.g. naive or cr-like) and many quantification threads.
-m, --max-records <max-records>: The maximum number of read records to keep in memory at once during collation. The
collatecommand will pass over the input RAD file multiple times collecting the records associated with a set of (corrected) cellular barcodes so that they can be written out in collated format to the output RAD file. This parameter determines (approximately) how many records will be held in memory at once, and therefore determines the memory usage of the
collatecommand. The larger the value used the faster the collation process will be, since fewer passes are made. The smaller this value, the lower the memory usage will be, at the cost of more passes. The default value is 30,000,000. Note that this determines the number of records approximately, because a specific barcode will never be split across multiple collation passes. The algorithm employed is to collect the reads associated with different cellular barcodes in the current pass until the number of reads to be collected first exceeds this value.
collate command will output all files it creates in the expected format in the output directory that is specified. It will write a file name
map.collated.rad.sz if run with the
--compress flag), one named
unmapped_bc_count_collated.bin, and one named
collate.json in the directory specified by | systems_science |

Can we determine this direction by measurement? No, we cannot. The best that we can do is extract ‘one bit’ of information – that is, the answer to a single yes/no question. We may select some direction β in space and measure the electron’s spin in that direction. We get either the answer YES or NO, but thereafter, we have lost the information about the original direction of spin. With a YES answer we know that the state is now proportional to |β〉, and with a NO answer we know that the state is now in the direction opposite to β. In neither case does this tell us the direction α of the state before measurement, but merely gives some probability information about α.
On the other hand, there would seem to be something completely objective about the direction α itself, in which the electron ‘happened to be spinning’ before the measurement was made.* For we might have chosen to measure the electron’s spin in the direction α – and the electron has to be prepared to give the answer YES, with certainty, if we happened to have guessed right in this way! Somehow, the ‘information’ that the electron must actually give this answer is stored in the electron’s state of spin.
It seems to me that we must make a distinction between what is ‘objective’ and what is ‘measurable’ in discussing the question of physical reality, according to quantum mechanics. [...] (However, we shall be seeing later that this ‘objective’ picture is much stranger with more complicated systems – even for a system which consists merely of a pair of spin-one-half particles.)

The DDC/CI specification dictates that the host computer wait 40-200 ms (depending on operation) between sending a command to the monitor and reading the response. When ddcutil adheres to the spec, it typically spends approximately 90% of its elapsed time sleeping. Many monitors respond properly with much shorter waits. On the other hand, there are monitors that require longer waits to avoid DDC/CI errors.
There are two ways to adjust wait times: explicitly using option --sleep-multiplier, and automatically using dynamic sleep adjustment.
Option --sleep-multiplier applies a multiplication factor to the DDC/CI specified sleep times. The multiplication factor is a floating point number. For example,
causes 40 ms waits to become 20 ms, and
causes 40 ms waits to beome 160 ms.
Note that ddcutil may automatically increase wait times when peforming retries. Option --sleep-multiplier applies to the inital wait time.
Option --sleep-multiplier can significantly speed up ddcutil execution - some monitors have been seen to operate properly with a sleep-multiplier as low as .1,
Decreasing the sleep multiplier increases the chance of DDC/CI communication failures, requiring retries. Option ---stats tries can help in picking an optimal value.
The default is --enable-dynamic-sleep.
The dynamic sleep algorithm automatically increases the sleep-multiplier factor (as needed) and decrease the sleep multiplier factor (insofar as possible). Data is maintained across program executions in file $HOME/.cache/ddcutil/stats.
Option --enable-dynamic-sleep or one of its variants such as --dsa turn it on (the default). Option --disable-dynamic-sleep turns it off.
If both --sleep-multiplier and --dsa are specified, existing statistics are discarded and the sleep algorithm restarts calculation with the specified sleep-multiplier value. Therefore --sleep-multiplier should generally not be used along with --dsa.
By default, existing statistics are retained even when dynamic sleep is disabled. To discard cached sleep statistics at the start of program execution, use option --discard-cache dsa (alt. --discard-cache sleep).
I2C is an inherently unreliable protocol, requiring retry management.
There are 3 kinds of operations in which retry is possible:
- Write-only operation. A request packet is written to the monitor with no subsequent read.
Used only to set a VCP feature value, and to execute command scs (Save Current Settings).
- Write-read operation. A request packet is written to the monitor, followed by a reading a response packet. Most DDC protocol operations are of this type.
- Multi-part operation. This is a "meta" operation, consisting of multiple write-read or write-only operations. Used to query monitor capabilities, and for querying and setting Table type VCP features.
By default, the maximum number of tries for each operation type is:
- write-only operation: 4
- write-read operation: 10
- multi-part operation: 8
(Note that the number of retries is 1 less than the number of tries.)
Option --maxtries adjusts the maximum try counts. Its argument consists of 3 comma-separated values. The following example sets the maximum try counts to 3 for write-only operations, 6 for write-read operations, and 9 for multi-part operations.
A value of "0" or "." leaves the corresponding try count unchanged. The following example changes only the maximum write-read try count:
The higest value to which a maximum try count can be set, is 15.
capabilities is the most expensive ddcutil command in elapsed time. It is also the most prone to failure on marginal I2C host/monitor connections, due the large number of I2C request/response operations involved.
The capabilities string is constant for any given monitor model. Therefore it makes sense to cache the value.
Capabilities string caching is controlled by options --enable-capabilities-cache and --disable-capabilities-cache. The default is --enable-capabilities-cache. Option --disable-capabilities-cache may be needed for certain edge cases.
The strings are saved in file ddcutil/capabilities within the XDG_CACHE_HOME directory. Normally this is $HOME/.cache/ddcutil/capabilities. This file can safely be erased if a stored capabilities string should become corrupted in some way.
Option --discard-cache capabilities erases the stored capabilities strings at the start of program execution.
Additional Peformance Related Options
Discards the specified cache, or all caches, at the start of program execution.
Alternatively, command discard caches can be used to delete cache files.
Enable parallel display inspection if 3 or more monitors are detected. See detect command.
The benefit of this option has proven marginal at best. It may be eliminated in future releases.
Skip checking that a monitor has properly processed a DDC Set VCP Feature request packet. For details, see setvcp command. | systems_science |

The “Company” has 20 years of history and installations in more than 50 jurisdictions, offices, and distributors in more than 15 countries, and a dedicated team of more than 1500 professionals.
Because of their widespread presence and services running in many different time zones, their IT systems run 24/7/365. Having their own private data center the “Company” needed to set up a disaster recovery plan in case of a stoppage of services due to a local hardware failure. That is why the “Company” contacted our Sirma data center to use the Disaster Recovery services.
A custom solution was implemented with all of “Company“‘s servers and data replicated via a secured L2 network tunnel to Sirma data center cloud platform storages. The process is organized in a specific way, allowing the “Company” IT personnel to have full and direct control over the replication process. In case of disaster, the servers will be started in Sirma cloud service platform. Several stress tests were performed to validate the process.
Having a disaster recovery plan always pays off, because several years after the solution was implemented, critical malfunction in the main storage of the “Company” local IT infrastructure provoked the launch of the procedure. Soon after, their services were back on and fully operational as their servers were started in Sirma cloud platform.
According to our non-disclosure agreement, we are presenting Sirma’s involvement in the project without revealing the name of the contracting company. | systems_science |

A zero-day attack is an attack in which a vulnerability is exploited before a fix is available or widely deployed. These attacks can be particularly damaging because traditional cyber defense strategies are ineffective in protecting against them. Many of these strategies rely on signature-based detection, which only works if the malware's signature is publicly available.
- A zero-day vulnerability is a software vulnerability that is discovered by an attacker before the vendor is aware of it. Vendors are unaware of this, so there are no patches for zero-day vulnerabilities, making attacks more likely to succeed.
- A zero-day exploit is a method used by hackers to attack systems with previously unidentified vulnerabilities.
- A zero-day attack is the use of a zero-day exploit to corrupt or steals data from a system compromised by a vulnerability.
How do Zero-Day Attack Works
Sometimes hackers or malicious actors discover a vulnerability before software developers do. While the vulnerability is still open, attackers can create and implement code to exploit it. This is known as exploit code.
When vulnerabilities become known, developers try to patch them to stop attacks. However, security vulnerabilities are often not detected immediately. Sometimes it can take days, weeks, or even months for developers to identify the vulnerability that led to the attack. And even when a zero-day patch is released, not all users are quick to implement it. In recent years, hackers have been quicker to exploit vulnerabilities soon after they are discovered.
Exploits can sell for a lot of money on the dark web. Once an exploit is discovered and patched, it is no longer labeled as a zero-day threat.
Who carries out Zero-day attacks?
Malicious actors performing zero-day attacks fall into different categories depending on their motivation.
- Cybercriminals are people who use digital technology such as computers and the internet to carry out illegal activities.
- Hacktivists Hackers motivated by a political or social cause who want attacks to be visible to get attention for their cause.
- Corporate espionage Attackers who spy on companies to obtain information about them.
- Cyber warfare countries or political actors spying on or attacking another country's cyber infrastructure.
Who are the targets for Zero-Day attacks?
Zero-day hacks can exploit various system vulnerabilities,
- Operating system
- Internet browsers
- Office applications
- Open-source components
- Hardware and firmware
- Internet of Things (IoT)
How to identify Zero-Day attacks
Attackers use zero-day exploits in a variety of ways:
- Spear phishing emails attached to files (example, Microsoft Office documents, Adobe PDFs, or other executable files or components) embedded in a zero-day exploit
- Phishing and spam emails are socially designed to lure unwitting recipients into clicking on URLs and links to malicious or compromised websites hosting an exploit (hole-filling attack)
- Exploit kits whose attack chains include malware and malicious websites that host zero-day exploits
- Compromising a system, server, or network – whether through brute force and dictionary attacks, misconfiguration, or inadvertent Internet exposure – where attackers can then use exploit malware.
Illustration of Zero-Day attack
Some recent examples of zero-day attacks include:
1) 2021: Chrome zero-day vulnerability
2) 2020: Zoom
A security vulnerability has been found in the popular video conferencing platform. In this illustration of a zero-day assault, users' computers were remotely accessed by hackers if they were running an earlier version of Windows. A hacker might entirely take control of the victim's computer and acquire access to all of their files if the administrator was the target.
How to protect yourself against Zero-Day attacks
For zero-day protection and to keep your computer and data safe, it's essential that individuals and organizations follow cybersecurity best practices. It includes:
Keep all software programs and work structures updated.
This is because vendors include security patches that cover newly identified vulnerabilities in new releases. Keeping your information up-to-date ensures greater security.
Use only necessary applications.
The extra software you have, the extra vulnerabilities you have. Reduce risk to your network by using only the applications you need.
Use a firewall.
A firewall plays a vital role in protecting your system from zero-day threats. Ensure maximum protection by configuring to allow only necessary transactions.
Educate users within organizations.
Many zero-day attacks exploit human error. Teaching employees and users the right safety and security habits will help keep them safe online and protect organizations from zero-day exploits and other digital threats.
Use a complete antivirus software program.
By eliminating both known and undiscovered threats, antivirus software aids in keeping your device secure.
Zero-day exploits and attacks are modern threats that can affect any business, organization, and enterprise. They are often able to attack modern infrastructure. Everything the network processes is vulnerable to attack. Some forms of zero-day exploit malware have been developed by sophisticated parties, such as the Stuxnet virus (dangerous enough to be classified as a cyber-weapon). | systems_science |

The simplest way to download SpringBoard is by using one of the provided installers. They will automatically download all of the needed resources (engine, editor archives, maps) and setup files, and launch SpringBoard. They will also check for updates on launch and keep the editor updated.
Once you have downloaded one of the above files, simply run them and install as necessary. After installation, it will download the necessary files and launch SpringBoard itself.
Linux users need to make the downloaded .AppImage file executable, by doing
chmod +x SpringBoard.AppImage
The production version can be obtained from rapid, via:
The development version can be obtained from this repository, by cloning it in your game folder:
git clone https://github.com/Spring-SpringBoard/SpringBoard-Core SB-C.sdd
Games can distribute their packages differently. Some games might include the editor as part of the ingame lobby. For more information, consult the game manual.
SpringBoard runs on most machines that support the SpringRTS engine, with the requirements described here. The only additional requirement is that the Graphics Card drivers must support basic OpenGL Shaders (GLSL). Most modern GPUs should be usable, but it is necessary to ensure the system has newest OpenGL drivers (see this for download instructions).
Additionally, for better performance having a good GPU will make terrain texture editing more efficient, while having a decent CPU and more RAM will make heightmap editing and scenario editing work more smoothly.
Linux has additional software requirements:
- SDL (Ubuntu package: libsdl2-2.0-0)
- OpenAL (Ubuntu package: libopenal1) | systems_science |

admin on my pfSense.
Table of contents
Secure shell (SSH) is the encrypted protocol used to log in to user accounts on remote Linux or Unix-like computers. Typically such user accounts are secured using passwords. When you log in to a remote computer, you must provide the user name and password for the account you are logging in to.
Passwords are the most common means of securing access to computing resources. Despite this, password-based security does have its flaws. People choose weak passwords, share passwords, use the same password on multiple systems, and so on.
SSH keys are much more secure, and once they’re set up, they’re just as easy to use as passwords.
SSH keys are created and used in pairs. The two keys are linked and cryptographically secure. One is your public key, and the other is your private key. They are tied to your user account. If multiple users on a single computer use SSH keys, they will each receive their own pair of keys.
Your private key is installed in your home folder (usually), and the public key is installed on the remote computer—or computers—that you will need to access.
Your private key must be kept safe. If it is accessible to others, you are in the same position as if they had discovered your password. A sensible—and highly recommended—precaution is for your private key to be encrypted on your computer with a robust passphrase.
The public key can be shared freely without any compromise to your security. It is not possible to determine what the private key is from an examination of the public key. The private key can encrypt messages that only the private key can decrypt.
When you make a connection request, the remote computer uses its copy of your public key to create an encrypted message. The message contains a session ID and other metadata. Only the computer in possession of the private key—your computer—can decrypt this message.
Your computer accesses your private key and decrypts the message. It then sends its own encrypted message back to the remote computer. Amongst other things, this encrypted message contains the session ID that was received from the remote computer.
The remote computer now knows that you must be who you say you are because only your private key could extract the session Id from the message it sent to your computer.

If Netflix, Hulu or Disney Plus applied their approaches to passenger transport, what would that look like? Let’s take a look at some new realities and how things are changing in passenger transport.
The new PPP (Post Pandemic Patronage)
Prior to the pandemic, public transport was generally under capacity pressure caused by patronage growth. Not so currently. Will passengers come back? Yes, but not necessarily in the same “mass transit” numbers experienced pre-COVID.
And why would they? Many CBD workers are working flexibly, many employers recognise that remote working, well, works; and suburban “hubs” as community work spaces are popping up and enlivening these precincts. This will impact the public transport business model for transport authorities and operators, and to reflect a “new normal” of shifting travel patterns.
While public transport is already a sustainable transport option, increased efforts in the sustainability space to make transport infrastructure and services greener will have flow-on effects for commercial arrangements.
As various governments move towards Net Zero, commercial design will have to support such targets. Think procurement of zero emissions bus fleets or procurement which encourages (or mandates) the use of renewable energy where practical, and innovation to find ways if not.
Data and Digital
Data engineering, collection and utilisation has already had enormous impacts to a number of industries. The power of data to optimise transport networks and systems, and to predict and respond to passenger requirements hasn’t been lost on many transport organisations and authorities around the world.
And let’s not forget AI-augmented mobility. It’s not hard to envisage a transport ecosystem enabled by AI to improve traffic flow, integrate public transport timetabling, coordinating on-demand services, and perhaps, one day, autonomous vehicles.
The Rise of On-demand
On-demand transport and mobility services exist in many cities around the world. Great examples of design thinking at work, these products are enhancing transport options and disrupting how we think about singular modes of passenger transport.
Mass transit, or MaaS transit, that is the question.
Mobility as a Service is to passenger transport what streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Stan and Disney Plus have been to consumer media entertainment. MaaS relies on a digital platform that integrates end-to-end trip planning, booking, ticketing, and payment across all transport modes, public or private. A few brief examples are:
Keoride, Australia (NSW and SA)
A collaboration among Keolis Downer, GoGet (fleet provider) and Via (technology provider) offers customers end-to-end mobility services through its app. It currently operates in some areas of Sydney and a similar offering has commenced in Adelaide, in conjunction with SA’s Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure and Via.
Helsinki residents have had access to Whim since 2016, where they can plan and pay for all modes of public and private transport within the city. The app allows users to enter a destination, select their preferred mode of travel or combination of modes.
Supported by rail operator Deutsche Bahn, Qixxit provides public and private transport journey planning and allows for one-stop payments within its app.
Transport planners across many jurisdictions see a growing need to make travel more seamless and to respond to the needs driven by demand side. Policy-makers and operators are tapping into private sector expertise and building relations to innovate, exploiting their respective capabilities.
Among the commercial challenges that come to mind are how operating models will integrate on-demand with traditional forms of public transport within contractual structures that are workable for authorities and operators. | systems_science |

|Videoconference||09/13/18-9/19/18||Since last Thursday, September 13th, ITS Spokane and ITS Pullman video conferencing, network, and security engineers have been investigating significant outages to video conferencing services that have occurred at least once each day since Thursday.|
Yesterday, Tuesday, September 18th, video conferencing infrastructure experienced three such outages at approximately 9:20am, 2:50pm, and 5:20pm. It is believed the 9:20am and 5:20pm outages were triggered by Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against the Pullman Domain Name Service (DNS) exacerbated by high-packet loss in critical core network and security infrastructure in Pullman. The 2:50pm outage, the most significant by far, was caused by accidental changes by network engineering staff as they attempted to bring up additional network monitoring to better help understand the various complex dimension of the outages.
Yesterday afternoon, network engineers and technicians did an exhaustive evaluation and reconfiguration of the parallel, redundant core network infrastructure in Pullman prior to failing over to this infrastructure at 8:40pm last night after all video conferencing classes had ended. Network and security engineers are reporting zero packet loss since the failover. While preventing DDoS attacks is not something we can easily prevent, last night’s and future planned changes will certainly help us weather future attacks much better.
Finally, network security engineers have put in place – effective immediately – process controls which will eliminate the probability of a recurrence of the accident that resulted in the 2:50pm outage and will significantly minimize the impact of more broad, general accidents in the future.

MAGERI is an all-in-one software for analysis of targeted genome re-sequencing data for libraries prepared with novel unique molecular identifier tagging technology. Starting from raw sequencing reads, MAGERI extracts UMI sequences, performes primer and adapter matching and trimming, assembles molecular consensuses, alignes them to reference sequences and calls variants. MAGERI output is provided in conventional SAM and VCF formats, so it can be browsed and post-processed by the majority of conventional bioinformatics software.
- UMI - unique molecular identifier, a short (4-20bp) degenerate nucleotide sequence, that is attach to cDNA/DNA molecules in order to trace them throughout the entire experiment.
- Sample barcode - a short specific nucleotide sequence used to mark cDNA/DNA molecules that correspond to a given sample in a pooled sequencing library
- MIG - molecular identifier group, a set of reads or read pairs that have an identical UMI sequence
- MIG consensus - the consensus sequence of MIG, that is, the consensus of multiple alignment of all reads in a given MIG
- CQS - consensus quality score, calculated as the fraction of reads matching the consensus sequence at a given position. Can be scaled to
[2, 40]range to fit Phred33 quality representation.
- Major variant (aka dominant variant, supermutant) - a sequence variant that is present in MIG consensus, but doesn’t match the reference sequence
- Minor variant - a sequence variant that differs from the consensus sequence found in one or more reads within a given MIG | systems_science |

The car differential is one of the components of the car power transmission system. This part is located under the car between two front or rear wheels that divide the engine power between the two wheels. We talked about car transmission in detail in the article “Transmission Performance”. Cars have two differentials, which we will discuss together with these two types of differentials; So stay tuned to Rentauto.
The car differential is a set of gears (housing) that is responsible for changing the force produced 90 degrees and creating a difference in the speed of the drive wheels in certain conditions. The main use of the differential can be summed up in the fact that the wheels rotate at different speeds while receiving power from the engine. In the following, we will deal with the two differentials available in cars.
Front differential and its advantages
Front differential cars are basically present in most cars and are lighter than other models. The lightness of these cars was made possible by removing parts such as the steering shaft, central differential and others. This saves a lot of space under the car as well as costs. The front differential system uses all the usual components of a transmission system; But the difference is in the place where they are installed. In a front-wheel drive vehicle, the gearbox and differential are all placed side by side and connected to a transversely mounted engine.
These cars have a good balance for the car and better traction on the ground, and the weight on the front wheels is the reason for this balance and traction. Lower fuel consumption and the absence of various parts of the transmission system that take up a lot of space under the car are other advantages of front differential cars.
Rear differential and its benefits
Basically, car enthusiasts are interested in rear-wheel drive cars, because today this transmission system is more commonly found in sports and luxury cars. The main strengths of the rear differential systems are their simpler design combination as well as their more precise handling. The combination of the rear differential system is usually considered the standard design combination of a car. This system has the simplest design of a transmission system; It should be noted that the engine is installed in the middle of the car and its outputs are sent to the rear differential by means of a gearbox. The differential then divides the outputs between the rear wheels.
The handling of these cars is very precise; Lack of power transmission from the front wheels to the ground and consequently non-slip wheels are the reasons for this advantage of the rear differential system. The lower weight at the front, along with the lack of transmission by the front wheels, means that there is almost no chance of under-steering in these cars.

In the Simulated Mars Missions CHAPEA, crew members will spend one year living and working in a habitat at Johnson Space Center that has been designed and built to simulate life on the Red Planet. The Skypersonic drones and rover will be taken to an area on Earth that is similar to Martian terrain – such as a desert or mountainous region – where they will be controlled remotely by crew members in Houston. The exercise is designed to test the ability of astronauts on Mars to remotely explore the planet with drones and rovers.
The hardware and software delivered to Houston were proven in August 2022, when NASA personnel stationed at the Johnson Space Center controlled the Skypersonic drones and rover on the Martian-like environment of Mt. Etna, an active volcano thousands of miles away in Italy. Not only was the surface of the volcano like that of Mars, but there is no GPS signal on Mt. Etna, which gave NASA personnel insight into how the technology would perform on a Martian surface. Because its proprietary remote piloting technology doesn’t rely on GPS, Skypersonic allows pilots, and the drones or rovers they control, to be located virtually anywhere in the world – or out of this world.
“This recent delivery is the latest milestone in our five-year contract with NASA to provide drone and rover hardware, software, and support to the Simulated Mars Missions. We look forward to working closely with the Simulated Mars Missions crews in the coming years to develop and test the prototype of the first drones and rovers to be used by humans on Mars. The challenges are great – extremely thin atmosphere, dramatically cold temperatures, a largely unknown environment – but I am confident we will prevail and advance the science of our industry in the process,” said Skypersonic CEO Giuseppe Santangelo.
NASA personnel trained on piloting the recently delivered drones with Skypersonic’s Martian Simulator, a computer-simulation of the Martian environment based on actual photographs and video of the surface of Mars. | systems_science |

HydroCo was involved in collating similar data for 310 pressure managed DMAs in a project several years earlier so had an appreciation of what a labour intensive project this could be. Although the advent of SQL tools in InfoWorks could help remove a small number of the manual processes compared to the previous methodology, it would still be an extremely manual process with reduced cost-effectiveness for the water company. Furthermore, a quick turnaround was sought so that any potential leakage saving could be realised sooner rather than later.
HydroCo identified a resourceful and time approach to collating the data, whilst also capturing much more detail than had been possible in the previous study. Because the process was to be largely automated it would also remove the element of unintentional human bias from the process which could easily skew the results when attempting the rank the final outputs. It was accepted that the results, like the previous study, would effectively be a ‘first-pass’ and that it would serve to trigger feasibility studies where significant leakage savings were indicated.
The conception of the proposed new automated methodology was made possible by the completion of another project that HydroCo was instrumental in; the company wide generation of HTD (Hour To Day) factors for leakage assessment. As a key output of the HTD Factor project the pressure results of every node in all of the models at time-steps of 15 minutes were exported into spreadsheets. This was achieved by writing bespoke SQL routines within the InfoWorks environment. Other data exported for every node included, DMA, number of customers, length of main, coordinates and elevation. This information was vital in summarising the hydraulic performance of each DMA
The new process reconciled data from the following sources:-
- Hydraulic and spatial data from the model from the HTD factor exports.
- Spatial data from GIS. This was achieved by writing routines within StruMap to create plots of each DMA and achieve counts of items associated with each DMA. (e.g. customers, bursts and length of recently replaced mains).
- Current leakage rates by DMA from the Leakage Management team.
The resulting outputs took the form of a two page report per DMA. The figures demonstrate the output for two DMAs. The first page is a visual plot of the DMA showing the extent of the DMA, elevations, safeguard customers, PRVs and meters. The second page is a summary of the hydraulic performance of the DMA which also includes burst history, length of recently replaced mains and counts of other relevant features. Of most importance is the figure indicating scope for pressure reduction at night and during the day.
These outputs provided a concise interpretation of a DMA’s performance and proved very how to read. When the two pages are viewed together a ‘picture’ of a DMA’s performance is quickly understood. It was therefore easy for network managers to scan through the outputs and identify the DMAs which were suitable for pressure management. All of the output data was also collated in a spreadsheet table so that the DMAs could be sorted and filtered on any criteria. | systems_science |

The first screenshot shows the current kernel 2.6.18-308.el5 for RHEL 5.6, and the configuration of the yum.conf file that has an explicit exclude=redhat-release-5Server* rule. We also see that we now have the redhat-release-5Server-126.96.36.199.
We will now modify the /etc/yum.conf so that we can download the redhat-release-5Server-188.8.131.52.x86_64.rpm file. We comment out the exclude file, and we install immediately the release file for RHEL 5.7
Now it’s important to immedialty renable the exclusion of the redhat-release-5Server, so that you will not by accident upgrade to RHEL 5.8
Now you can run the yum upgrade to your own pace, and be sure that you are staying on the supported release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for the vCloud Director 1.5.1 | systems_science |

Making a choice about which computer system is right for you means understanding the components of the system and matching its capabilities to your computing needs.
A gamer, keen photographer or someone working with video has very different computing needs from a home user who is just looking to take some family photos, surf the web and check their emails.
Think about what you want to use your new computer for and keep that in mind when reading the recommendations below.
I prefer to buy PCs built by major manufacturers like HP and Compaq, but that is just a personal preference. Local computer stores build PCs out of individual components and I think unfortunately you can never be quite sure of the overall quality.
Budget systems tend to be made of budget components, so think about possible maintenance costs as well as the up-front price when deciding which computer to buy.
I would recommend a general home user needs a minimum of 1Gb of RAM for Windows XP, or 2 to 3Gb of RAM for systems running Windows Vista. I would recommend gamers, photographers and other more intensive users look at double that amount.
RAM is the single most significant performance factor in a PC and it is relatively cheap, so it pays to stock up at the start.
Think of RAM memory as your computer's IQ. The higher your IQ the faster you can think and the more things you can think about at once. Generally the more RAM memory your computer has the more responsive it will be.
You can never be too beautiful, too rich or have too much RAM.
The processor is the computer chip that processes instructions, so the more powerful and faster your processor, the more responsive your computer will be.
Family photographs are probably the most intensive thing a general home user will want do with their new computer, so processor type and speed isn't too critical for them.
Intel Celeron dual core and Pentium dual core processors are the current families of entry level computer processors and have adequate performance for the needs of home users.
Intel Core 2 Duo processors are higher end and more capable processors, but they also cost more. These processors are a must for gamers and video users, but home users may not really need the extra performance.
Processor speed is measure in GHz, with bigger numbers meaning faster performance. Gamers etc. should look for 2.8Ghz or better processor speed - but again, this is mostly irrelevant for a home user's needs.
Hard drives are the amount of storage space your computer system has for storing files (like music and digital photographs) and programmes. The storage capacity of hard drives is measured in Gigabytes (Gb).
New computer systems typically offer 160Gb-250Gb drives as a minimum standard. Unless you are going to take a lot of photographs, that much hard drive storage space will be plenty for a normal home user.
I would advise gamers or people working with video to look at a minimum hard drive capacity of 500Gb or more.
The built-in graphics on a motherboard should be sufficient for a home user. This is also sometimes called onboard graphics.
Gamers and other intensive users will require a more capable graphics card like an nVidia 8600GT or better with 512Mb or better of video RAM.
We hope this guide has helped you understand your needs and what to look for when looking to buy a new computer system.

Magnetos have 3 main components; a magnet, an armature and a condenser (capacitor).
There are a number of different magneto designs that have been used over the years. They all use the same basic principle to generate a spark. The most popular in vintage cars and motorcycles is the shuttle magneto. In this design a wound coil is rotated in a stationary magnetic field provided by a horseshoe magnet. The other is an inductor magneto, in which a permanent magnet is on the rotating armature and the coil is stationary.
Explaining the workings of a magneto
A magneto works by collapsing a magnetic field quickly causing a voltage spike. It follows a 2nd order transfer function.
There are two windings on the coil of the magneto, this goes for both types (shuttle magneto and inductor magneto) described here. The coil is wound like a transformer with a primary winding, consisting of a few turns of thick wire and a secondary winding, consisting of lots of turns of very thin wire. The winding of this coil is critical, because it is this that generates the voltage for the spark.
As the magneto spins, the wires in the coil pass through the magnetic field produced by the permanent magnet. Passing a wire through a magnetic field produces a voltage. If a lot of turns pass through the magnetic field then a voltage is induced into each turn of the coil, producing a voltage dependent on the number of turns. This can only allow a current to flow if there is a circuit from one end of the coil to the other.
This circuit is completed via a timing contact which interrupts the current flow at the point at which an ignition spark is required. When this contact opens, the current ceases to flow in the magneto primary winding so that the magnetic field collapses extremely quickly. As the voltage produced by the secondary winding, which has a much higher number of turns of wire, is directly proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux a high potential appears at the secondary winding terminals. This high pressure is held at a reasonable level because of the discharge across the points of the spark plug. In the absence of a spark plug the energy may be discharged across an internal safety gap at about 15kv to avoid damage to the secondary winding insulation. A capacitor is connected across the timing contacts to absorb the energy created in the primary winding due to back EMF (reverse electro-motive force) created by this magnetic activity thus avoiding excessive damage to the timing points.
One end of the secondary is connected to the top end of the primary winding, still close to ground as far as the secondary winding is concerned. The other end of the secondary is connected to a slip ring, which a carbon brush contacts. This carbon brush carries the potential to the HT lead connection.
If it is a single cylinder magneto then the connection to the HT lead is fixed, however if its a multi cylinder magneto, then the connection to the HT leads is done through a distributor on the back of the magneto. In this case, the carbon brush contacts the slip ring, then carries the potential down an insulated spindle with a wiper arm on the other end. There is another carbon brush on the end of the wiper arm which contacts the inside surface of the distributor. So as the wiper arm spins it contact each of the HT connection points in turn. A gear alters the rotational speed of the wiper arm, such that each rotation of the armature fires one HT lead. | systems_science |

This truck-mounted crane handles a variety of lifting requirements for field service technicians. In its initial configuration this machine utilized basic on/off hydraulic controls with limited proportional functions which caused undue boom stress loads and lacked the ability to perform multiple functions at the same time. The radio remote control did not provide any feedback information, and was not scalable to meet unique user demands.
GSH greatly improved the performance, productivity and safety of this truck-mounted crane by integrating a total machine control system which is scalable to meet the specific needs of each user. GSH updated the hydraulic system design to include proportional control valves, flow sharing, load sensing, and pressure compensation. GSH developed a family of machine control solutions ranging from an advanced proportional control system up to an industry leading CAN/Hydraulic control system with a crane-specific load management system. Application-specific software calculates safe operating limits so the boom is not overextended and operational limits of the machine are not exceeded. The diagnostic system allows for monitoring all aspects of the machine functions, including outrigger positions, engine performance, winch status, and proportional outputs. The diagnostic system provides hydraulic preventive maintenance indications, error event logging and messaging. An innovative last wrap indicator is optional on the winch and provides an added measure of safety and performance enhancement not previously utilized in the industry. | systems_science |

Parking in town has become a real nightmare. To keep traffic flowing, support local business and make parking management easier, Orange has implemented smart parking in Braine-l’Alleud.
Looking for a parking spot in town is frequently frustrating and even dangerous for drivers. The constant battle for parking spaces means business owners lose out when customers are unable to find a place quickly enough. The problem has less to do with a lack of available spaces and more to do with people leaving their cars parked in these spaces for too long. What’s more, for the local area, these vehicles represent needless CO2 emissions, air and noise pollution. When we see statistics showing that 30% of drivers in built-up areas have to look for parking and that drivers can spend more than two months of their lives looking for parking spots, the magnitude of the problem becomes all too clear.
To tackle this issue, Braine-l’Alleud has opted for smart parking. ‘The aim is to keep drivers updated, in real time, about free parking spaces in town. At the same time, this will help breathe new life into local businesses,’ explains Didier Panneels, On-Street Manager for CityParking, a subsidiary of Q-Park, that is responsible for managing street parking. ‘Rather than using ground-based sensors, which is a relatively expensive solution, the city has chosen to use smart cameras. They help manage parking spaces using the CommuniThings technology platform, an Orange company partner.”
How does it work? Orange connects their narrowband Internet of Things network to cameras on a platform that shows a map of available parking spaces. The platform then connects, displays and analyses data, whilst its reporting function sends data to the authorities. A smartphone app (available on both Apple and Android) then shows drivers a real-time map of the currently available parking spaces, along with a map that gives them directions to their desired space.
Parking attendants also have an app which enables them to monitor parking. It alerts them when a vehicle stays in a space longer than permitted (with irrefutable evidence of arrival and departure times recorded via cameras). To ensure personal data protection legislation compliance, cameras only record images of parking spaces every five minutes.
The CommuniThings platform will manage a total of 772 parking spaces. ‘This is a first for Belgium,’ explains Didier Panneels, adding that its rapid roll-out has been facilitated by comprehensive network coverage from Orange and the fact that it works as soon as the cameras are installed, in addition to the fact that NB-IoT networks are highly efficient for smart camera batteries. | systems_science |

Thanks to the RMM tools, MSPs are able to deploy updates and patches, configure and install software, and diagnose and solve problems remotely.
RMM stands for Remote Monitoring and Management Solutions, also known as network management, and remote monitoring software.
How an RMM is Deployed
RMM software solutions can be deployed via an agent, a small-sized software component that is installed on various devices within a network. This software component is used to deploy RMM software solutions, including workstations, PCs, servers, and mobiles.
These agents are used by MSPs to obtain remote monitoring capability. Client devices send information to the MSP. This information is machine status and machine health, which allows the MSP to gain insight into client networks.
The best RMM tools monitor devices and send information back to the MSP. They also act proactive, detecting potential issues and taking action when necessary. When they spot a problem, agents can create service tickets automatically.
These tickets can be classified according to their severity and type. This classification allows the MSP to allocate its technical resources in a way that is most efficient for problem resolution.

For parents seeking the utmost protection for their children, AI drowning detection devices represent a cutting-edge approach to pool safety. In this article, we’ll explore the distinct advantages of AI drowning detection devices over traditional pool alarms, emphasizing their role in enhancing child safety and providing unparalleled peace of mind.
- Enhanced Accuracy through Artificial Intelligence: Traditional pool alarms rely on basic sensors to detect disturbances in the water, triggering alarms based on predefined criteria such as motion or surface agitation. In contrast, AI drowning detection devices leverage sophisticated algorithms and machine learning to analyze multiple variables in real-time. By continuously monitoring factors like underwater movement patterns, body positioning, and duration of submersion, these devices offer unparalleled accuracy in identifying potential drowning incidents. This advanced level of precision minimizes false alarms while maximizing responsiveness, ensuring that genuine emergencies are promptly detected and addressed.
- Immediate Alerts and Intervention: One of the most significant advantages of AI drowning detection devices is their ability to provide immediate alerts and intervention in critical situations. By rapidly processing data and distinguishing between normal pool activity and distress signals, these devices can trigger instant notifications to caregivers via smartphone apps or connected smart home systems. This rapid response time is crucial in emergencies, enabling parents to intervene swiftly and effectively to prevent tragedies. Whether it’s notifying nearby adults or triggering automated safety protocols, AI drowning detection devices offer invaluable support in moments of crisis.
- Monitoring the Pool Activity, and providing Protection when the pool is Active: Since 88% of Drowning Happen when there is at least one-adult near by(which means the pool is active) the Monitoring of the pool activity in those moments is very significant for saving lives, a Pool Alarm would be de-activated when the pool becomes active, only an AI Drowning Detection device will continue to monitor the pool activity when it’s Active.
- Adaptive Learning and Customization: AI drowning detection devices excel in their capacity for adaptive learning and customization, continuously refining their algorithms based on real-world data and user feedback. Over time, these devices become increasingly attuned to the unique characteristics of individual pools and the behavior patterns of swimmers. By learning from past incidents and adjusting their sensitivity levels accordingly, AI drowning detection devices can adapt to changing environmental conditions and evolving safety requirements.

It was developed because it’s much easier to remember a domain name than an IP address.
Back in 1983, when DNS had just been invented, DNS requests and responses were sent over the internet in clear text, and they still are. Now, with so much at stake on the internet, there is an additional need to encrypt DNS traffic. Because, as the DNS requests are sent in plain text, attackers in the middle can sniff the traffic and know what you’re into.
Unlike other protocols such as HTTP and FTP, DNS never got a security upgrade that prompted widespread adoption. Instead, one of the most important features of our modern internet has used the same level of encryption for the last 35 years.
pros and cons of doh
The new standard released by the IETF enables DNS protocol to be enabled over HTTPS connections (the more secure form of HTTP). DNS over HTTPS (abbreviated as DoH) is an internet security protocol which communicates domain name server information in an encrypted way over HTTPS connections as a layer of security.
Pros to Early Adoption of DNS over HTTPS (DoH):
- You get to test out how DoH will integrate with your networks ahead of time and fix any potential issues before the DoH protocol becomes default.
- If implemented right, you can gain more data security and better privacy across your organization.
- You get to test out the compatibility of DNS over HTTPS with your DNS traffic filter.
- Your feedback may help all software parties involved better their products, to your benefit.
Cons to Early Adoption of DNS over HTTPS:
- If your system admin(s) are not experienced with DoH and similar security protocols, this can end up in blocked queries, false-positive security flags and so on.
- If your DNS traffic filtering solution is not able to integrate with DoH, this can render it ineffective.
Even though DoH prevents the ISP from viewing a user’s DNS requests, DNS is not the only protocol involved in web browsing. There are still countless other data points that ISPs could track to know where a user is going.
In the enterprise sector, most of the system administrators use local DNS servers and DNS-based software to filter and monitor local traffic to prevent users from accessing non-work-related sites and malware domains. DoH traffic will bypass these filters and render them essentially useless.
Another problem is that DoH centralizes the DNS traffic to a few DNS resolvers. “Centralized DoH is currently a privacy net negative since anyone that could see your metadata can still see your metadata when DNS is moved to a third party,” APNIC said. “Additionally, that third party then gets a complete log per device of all DNS queries, in a way that can even be tracked across IP addresses.
“Encrypting DNS is good, but if this could be done without involving additional parties, that would be better,” APNIC added.
Enterprises will need to invest in new ways of monitoring and filtering traffic, as the era of DNS-based systems seems to be coming to an end. Like any IT innovation, DNS over HTTPS can pose a few challenges at first, until everyone gets aligned with it. But once DoH becomes the standard, the benefits of it will greatly outweigh the difficulties it poses in the beginning. | systems_science |

Initiatives to cut fuel costs – and improve environmental performance – have paid dividends for Milnsbridge-based E Stott & Sons Ltd.
The company, based at Colne Vale Garage, had a Road Angel live tracking system fitted to its fleet of 12 coaches in 2009 as a first step to saving on fuel costs and keeping track of its vehicles.
Director Carl Stott said: “Initially, we had the hardware fitted to 12 coaches and after the first 12 months we saved about £22,000 on fuel by reducing idle time by one hour per coach per day.
“We issued an idle time report every Monday for drivers to see, which highlighted all idle time over five minutes.
“We invited all drivers to see how the system worked, what reports we could produce, the reasons why we had it installed and we encouraged them to contribute any further ideas for improvement.”
Last year, as fuel prices began to rise again, the company had Road Angel fitted to the rest of its fleet – and looked to make additional savings on fuel costs by getting driver totals for idling time which could be converted into actual cost per driver.
Road Angel provided a weekly driver mileage summary report listing each driver’s total mileage, duration, idle time and time in motion.
Said Carl: “Since we introduced this report, we have seen another decrease in idle time and think that this further saving is sustainable. The system also enables us to check our carbon usage and cost of fuel per vehicle per day.
“In these challenging economic times, these savings have enabled us to give all our staff their annual pay increase this year, which may not have happened in the absence of these savings on idle time.”
The first week’s report showed a cost of £623.32. Subsequent weekly savings have ranged between about £415 and about £244. Said Carl: “Since this has been produced and distributed to drivers, it has encouraged them to make a reduction in idle time and to make cost savings.”
He added: “Since April, 2012, we have achieved additional cost savings for the company, encouraged drivers to identify the impact on the environment when keeping their vehicles running and at the same time reducing our carbon footprint.” | systems_science |

Designed for use in commercial, institutional, retail, and low- to high-rise construction, this innovation provides architects with the natural beauty and character of concrete in lightweight panels that accomplish their rainscreen design goals.
Among precasters, High Concrete Group has taken the lead with a water reclamation program that is slashing water consumption and boosting process efficiencies. Engineers implemented the nearly $750,000 system so water can be reused in the Denver, Pa.-based concrete batch operation.
High’s system employs vacuum filtration, a significant advance over standard settling basin technology, that conserves approximately 10,000 gallons of water per day that otherwise would be lost to evaporation. In the new process, all wash water from transport mechanisms, batching process mixers, trucks and buckets is captured. Coarse and fine aggregates are settled out, and cement and other particles are separated and trapped
for disposal. The vacuum filtration system also conserves valuable space, allowing it to meet site constraints.
“The initial challenge was to get the processed water in balance and then to appropriately feed the system to keep it in balance,” says Kevin Iddings, vice president of operations for High. “With this portion of the process stabilized, we’re continuing to evolve practices to manage demand with a goal of increasing output without an associated increase in water consumption." The system also has the capability of segregating excess concrete aggregates for reuse according to concrete mix design.
The core of the vacuum system is a horizontal drum with a cloth medium coated with a filter cake of diatomaceous earth. As wash water is pulled through the rotating drum, a knife peels off deposits trapped in the earth. High Concrete Group developed a system of tanks and weirs (spillover devices) to control the water through various stages of treatment and minimize risk of contaminants escaping into the environment. | systems_science |

First off: it runs fine. Many of the concerns were that 64-bit Java would break Eclipse because of the SWT/Carbon underpinnings, which are 32-bit, as I understand it.
Well, rest easy - as it does with many new technologies, Apple has left full backwards compatibility in place. It appears that Java runs in 32-bit mode by default, so basically everything that worked previously (including SWT) will continue to work.
So what about Eclipse on 64-bit Java? Yeah, it doesn't work. So - to all those that predicted this, kudos. You got it right. Adding "-d64" is the flag that tells the JVM to run in 64-bit mode - and adding this to eclipse.ini "-vmargs" causes an exception when SWT is loaded.
Want to test if you can run 64-bit Java? Here's what to do. In Terminal, run the following command:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java -d64 -Xmx2560M -version
Running this should output something like so:
java version "1.5.0_13"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05-237)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode)
If you don't get this, or get some type of message like "Cannot run Java in 64 bit mode. Continuing in 32 bit mode." then you may not have a 64-bit chipset. Notably, the PPC chips (while G5s are 64-bit) cannot run 64-bit Java). Further, the first generation of Intel chips released by Apple, Duo Core, are not 64-bit. Only the Core 2 Duo (and later) chips are 64-bit. Finally - if you ran the "-d64" test by just specifying "java" on the command line, instead of the full path - you may be running into a bug that was discovered too late to be fixed in GM.
I'll give a shot at running 64-bit Java from within Eclipse (say, to run JBoss AS - that should work). I'll report back with results! | systems_science |

This feature is useful especially when your system encounters any threat or hardware issue or making any changes in the registry or installing any software. So, whenever any error is encountered you can select a restore point where the PC was functioning perfectly fine and revert back to that phase. By this you can eliminate many errors. But, restoring to a set point removes all the files and folders that were created after that restore point. If any other user restores your PC without your presence then you might be at a risk of losing all your valuable data. Here is the tutorial about how you can enable or disable system restore in Windows 8 and Windows 7.
System restore feature can be found in every former versions of Windows OS be it XP, Vista, 7 or new Windows 8. This feature play a significant role in bringing back the earlier state of Windows OS in case something goes wrong or upon encountering error.
It also relieves you from installation failures or virus infection. Disabling the feature might prevent re-infection or re-enable after removal of virus. Here is how you can enable or disable System Restore based upon your operating system.
Steps to Disable/ Enable System Restore in Windows 8
- In Windows 8 desktop mode, right-click on lower left most corner
- A pop-up menu appears, here click on System
- In the left pane, select System protection
- Under System Protection tab, select Configure
- If you want to disable System Restore, check the option Disable system protection and hit OK
- If prompted by UAC, click on Yes
- In order to enable System Restore, check the option Turn on system protection and hit OK
That’s all. You can now see that System restore has been disabled or enabled as per your set preference.
Steps to Disable/ Enable System Restore in Windows 7
- Go to Start orb > Start menu and right click on Computer and click on Properties
- Under properties in the left pane, click on System protection
- In System Protection tab, click on Configure
- Here if you want to disable System Restore, simply check the option Turn off system protection and hit OK
- Upon prompted by UAC, click Yes
- If you want to enable System Restore, check the option Restore system settings and previous versions of files and hit OK.
Once you have completed the steps you can enable or disable system restore in Windows 7.
Upon following the procedure mentioned above you can now enable or disable system restore in Windows 8 and Windows 7. | systems_science |

Oxygen delivery depends on blood flow (cardiac output) and the amount of oxygen in the blood.
Oxygen delivery ¼ cardiac output × oxygen content in arterial blood
Oxygen is carried to the tissues and delivered to cells via the capillaries, where oxygen istaken up (consumed) by cells, so that venous blood contains less oxygen (and more carbondioxide) than arterial blood. The partial pressure of oxygen in the venous blood (PvO 2 ) is,on average, ~40 mmHg (this corresponds to an oxygen saturation of ~70–75% in the venous blood).
Venous oxygen saturation (SvO 2 ) reflects oxygen supply and demand; venous oxygensaturation will decrease if there is a decrease in oxygen delivery or an increase in oxygenconsumption, because cells will extract more oxygen from the blood to meet demand.
A decrease in venous oxygen saturation below the usual value of ~70 –75% suggestsincreased oxygen extraction and an oxygen supply/demand imbalance. Increasing oxygendelivery with inotropic support, or red blood cell transfusion if the hemoglobin is low, may improve patient outcomes in sepsis. | systems_science |

GDB Question Suppose we have a 999 records of employees Emp1, Emp2, Emp5, Emp6 and so on up to Emp998 and Emp999 stored in a sequence. Hence, records are nothing but a row in the table. In the employee table, we want to inserts new records Emp3 and Emp4 in the sequence, and once we have done insertion we need to update and retrieve the record efficiently to optimize the performance of a database by minimizing the access time when query is being executed.
You are required to solve the problem with the index sequential access method with pros and cons in the given scenario.
Solution ISAM method is an advanced sequential file organization.in this method, records are stored in the file using the primary key. An index value is generated for each primary key and mapped with the record. This index contain the address of the record in the file. Now according to the situation if there is space on track then push the record Emp5 and Emp6 to the next and insert record after Emp2 if there is no space in track all tracks are full then place these records in overflow area in track and link it with track.
In this method, each record has the address of its data block, searching a record in a huge database is quick and easy.
This method supports range retrieval and partial retrieval of records. Since the index is based on the primary key values, we can retrieve the data for the given range of value. In the same way, the partial value can also be easily searched, i.e., employee name starting with “So” can be easily searched.
This method requires extra space in the disk to store the index value.
When the new records are inserted, then these files have to be reconstructed to maintain the sequence.
When the record is deleted, then the space used by it needs to be released Otherwise, the performance will slow down. | systems_science |

What is a Version Control System (VCS)?
A VCS tracks the history of changes as people and teams collaborate on projects together.
As the project evolves, teams can run tests, fix bugs, and contribute new code with the confidence that they can recover any version.
Developers can review the project's history to find out:
- What changes were made
- Who made the changes
- When were the changes made
- Why were changes needed
A VCS allows multiple people to work on the same set of files in structured harmony.
Messaging your teammates about which file you're changing and telling them to keep their fingers off is not the optimal workflow.
Neither is storing .zip snapshots of your code on a shared online drive.
With a VCS, team members can work on any project file on their local version and merge their changes into a shared version.
The latest version of a file or the whole project is always in a shared location managed by the VCS.
Saving a version of your project after making changes is an essential habit.
But without a VCS, this becomes tedious and confusing very quickly.
How much do we save? Only the changed files or the complete project? How do we name these versions?
If you're a very organized person, you might be able to stick to a coherent naming system.
How can we know exactly what files changed in these versions? It is problematic to expect humans to carefully document each change consistently.
A version control system acknowledges that there is only one project.
Therefore, there's only one version on your disk that you're currently working on.
All the past versions and variants of your project are available through the VCS.
Restoring Previous Versions
Being able to restore older versions of a file or the whole project means you can't mess up!
If the changes you make prove to be garbage, you can undo them with a few commands. Knowing this should make you more relaxed when working on a project.
Understanding What Happened
Every time you save a new version of your project, your VCS requires you to briefly describe what was changed to help you understand how your project evolved between versions.
You can see also see what file contents were changed.
A distributed VCS like Git can also act as a backup.
Every team member has a repository of the project on their disk with its entire version history.
All you need to recover your entire project is one copy of the git repository.
What is Distributed Version control System
A distributed version control system (DVCS) is a type of version control where the complete codebase — including its full version history — is mirrored on every developer's computer.
Which VCS do we use in practice? At Grey Software, we use Git, like the overwhelmingly vast majority of software development companies. | systems_science |

Multi-view bi-clustering via L1-norm enforced sparse LRR
Identify consistent sample cluster among all views and simultaneously associated feature clusters per view. Clusters are obtained via finding sparse low rank representation (LRR) of input data matrices, where the sparsity is enforced using L1-norm. One sample cluster and its associated feature clusters are identified and returned each time this function is used. If multiple clusters are desired, call this function repeatedly with samples left unclustered.
List of input data, where each element is a matrix. For all the matrices, rows represent samples and columns represent features. These matrices are the characterization of a same set of samples from different perspectives (views), one matrix per view. So all the matrices should have the exact same rows, but can have different columns. The rows in the same position in all matrices represent a same sample.
A numerical vector with length that equals to the number of views, which controls the sparsity of vector u in the decomposition of each view. This parameter helps control the size of the sample cluster. A larger value indicates stronger sparsity and thus leads to a smaller sample cluster.
A numerical vector with length that equals to the number of views, which controls the sparsity of vector v in the decomposition of each view. This parameter helps control the size of the feature clusters. A larger value indicates stronger sparsity and thus leads to smaller feature clusters.
A number, which controls the sparsity of vector z in the decomposition of all views. It helps to tune the size of the identified sample cluster. A larger value means stronger sparsity and thus leads to a smaller sample cluster.
(Optional) Maximum number of outer loop iterations, which is one of the criteria that controls when to terminate the outer loop in the process of searching for an optimal solution. The default value is 100000.
(Optional) The other criteria (besides the above 'maxOuter' argument) for terminating the outer loop. When the sum of squares of the difference between two consecutive outer loop iterations of vector z passes (is smaller than) this threshold, the loop is terminated. The default value is 0.00001.
(Optional) Maximum number of inner loop iterations. It works the same way as above 'maxOuter' argument, but controls the inner loop in the optimization process. The default value is 10000.
(Optional) This works the same way as above 'thresOuter' argument, but looks at the sum of squares of the difference between consecutive vector u (the other multiplier (besides vector z) of left singular vector) and controls the inner loop in the optimization process. The default value is 0.00001.
(Optional) Logging level, which can be set to 0, 1 or 2. It controls the amount of printing, where a larger value means more printing. The default value is 0, which turns off the logging.
This method identifies clusters via finding multi-view sparse low rank representations (LRR) of input data matrices. The LRR is obtained via matrix decomposition in the form: (zu)v, where both z and u are column vectors and their length are equal to the number of samples, (zu) represents the element-wise product between z and u, and v is a column vector and its length is equal to the number of features in the view. Vector z is a multiplier shared across all views, while both u and v are view specific. Sample cluster is read off directly from z by assigning samples with non-zero component in z to the cluster. Because z is shared across all views, the obtained sample cluster is a common cluster among all views. Feature cluster is obtained by assigning features with non-zero component in v to the cluster. Because v is view specific, feature cluster is view specific as well. Sample cluster and feature cluster are associated in the sense that they help determine each other.

Companies involved with credit and collections can face an infinite number of data security risks. While the term “identity theft” has become synonymous with the thought of computer hackers, the truth is that there may be vulnerabilities within your own operations that frequently lead to accidental privacy violations - which can be equally damaging. The risk of data loss through the internet is obvious, but the security risk that are involved with people taking work home via laptops, portable USB devices, services like Dropbox (free) etc. can be overlooked. In this regard, important considerations include whether you have a system in place (and a policy) that ensures your employees are shredding all sensitive documents or have limited access to sensitive data.
Here are some questions to consider when determining how well your company is identifying and tackling the risks of data loss:
- Are the appropriate resources readily available to do an effective assessment of risk and install more effective controls if necessary?
- Is redundant customer data disposed of securely?
- How is all customer data stored in electronic databases?
- Are the proper controls in place to limit access to customer data and prevent it from being misused, lost or stolen.
Centralizing data storage. Your customers’ sensitive data should be stored in a central database that is securely monitored and protected. Important customer payment information such as credit card numbers should be encrypted securely and located on a non-internet accessible location and not saved in individual computers or other devices.
Implementing multiple layers of security. To eliminate unwanted intrusions to your network, one layer of security is simply not enough. Multi-level hardware firewalls, virus and malware protection software and a secure SSL. Internet connection are just a few lines of defense that can safeguard your customers and your institution from harm.
Limit access to your server room. Entrance to the server room should be off limits to your staff other than the IT department. Cipher-locked key pads or security codes are one way to restrict access to only those who have been granted permission. If an employee with access to the server room elves the company, all key cards and security codes should be changed and reissued.
Prepare for disaster. If a data breach happens, the last thing you want is to be caught unprepared. Set out a dedicated disaster recovery plan for the handling of sensitive customer data and a clear communication plan, both internally to employees and externally to your customers. Be sure to thoroughly investigate the source and cause of the breach to your system and identify the controls that need to be implemented to prevent a second incident from occurring.
Eliminate obsolete data safely. Any data that is redundant or deemed obsolete should be promptly removed from the central database and destroyed securely and permanently. As a best practice, data should be digitally overwritten to prevent any data from remaining intact.

Most of the Garmin Handheld GPS has rubbed tough designed plus IPX7 water resistant rating. They are made to last in extreme NZ outdoor condition. Whether you are heading into outdoors camping or sports, Garmin Handhelds GPS are great handy devices to locate you and your friends, keep your tracks and communicate with your friends. They are also popular among hikers, city cyclers, off-road mountain bikers, and sailboat racers.
Garmin HotFix Software
Most of GPS devices have to acquire the signals from satellites after they started up. After the connection is established between the GPS device and satellites, the GPS device will download the location data from the satellites. This data download process typically takes up to 30 minutes. The new generation Garmin handheld GPS has built in Hotfix software. This software allows the device continues to download data from the satellites after the device has been located and "fixed" the location. Once the Garmin GPS devices have received the data, they can calculate the location of those satellites for the next three days. As long as you use your Garmin GPS again, it will repeat the process and keep your device up-to-date. This can dramatically shorten the initial start up time of the device instead of getting the data from the satellites every time.
Some Garmin GPS handheld devices work with GPS and GLONASS satellites which are able to receive 24 more satellites signals than normal GPS only devices. The GLONASS also has a faster connection speed and better signal strength. Combine with GPS and GLONASS, Garmin eTrex and GPSMAP series handheld drives are able to acquire satellites up to 20% faster than devices that rely on GPS alone.

However, existing studies either recommend news from the same media platform or just bring multiple sources of information together without considering readers’ preferences. Sometimes the former may lead to the media bias problem or even the fake news spread.
Based on our previous network-alignment approach, we propose a novel cross-media news recommendation system, which can provide articles with diverse perspectives from different news media and preserve both document and topological information based on the inter- and intra-connections between news articles. Moreover, according to user browsing history, the recommendations made by the system can not only help readers understand their personalized interested news from a broader overview but mitigate the media bias problem. Empirical experiments with real users demonstrate the effectiveness of our system, and reveals the personalization and diversity of the recommendations .
Moreover, network alignment can be extended to assist weakly supervised learning in multi-aspect review comment analysis. Notice that nowadays online users’ feedback usually comprises only a single comment-level score and a review comment on mainstream platforms, such as Yelp and Google Maps. Reading through numerous review comments to figure out the important aspects of a target item (e.g., food quality of a restaurant) is definitely time-consuming. Moreover, some missing aspect information is entangled in the text commentaries and hardly accessible. Apparently, there is a huge gap between available review information and crucial aspects for users’ preferences, while aggregating the aspect information by text analysis could become the key to success. There has been, however, a dearth amount of research on weakly supervised models for this topic. In this study, we thus proposed a weakly supervised framework called Seq2CASE (Sequence to Commentary Aspect Score Estimation) to estimate the vital aspect scores from the limited mainstream review information. The aspect score estimation from only the weakly supervised signals is close to the actual aspect scoring; precisely, the average MAE (Mean Absolute Error) is less than 0.4 for a 5-point grading scale. The performance of the weakly supervised Seq2CASE framework is comparable to or even better than the state-of-the-art supervised approaches in recommendation tasks. We further demonstrate the capability of analyzing users’ behavior by exploiting only Seq2CASE regardless of users’ background. We expect this work to be a stepping stone that can inspire more studies working on this important but relatively underexploited research topic .
This is a real implementation of Seq2CASE for the review comment analysis of restaurants on Google Map. The preliminary version considers around 150,000 restaurants with 14 million text reviews in Taiwan as well as 15,000 restaurants with 3.5 million text reviews in New York City.
We also studied a fundamental problem in systems biology, i.e., to understand the cell as a system of interacting components and especially, almost every biological process is mediated by a network of molecular interactions. In particular, there has been a considerable amount of research devoted to the discovery and exploration of interactions between proteins in the last decade. Since many cellular activities are a result of protein interactions, proteins often interact with other proteins to perform their functions, and form a complex biological system, i.e., a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. This powerful way of representing and analyzing the vast corpus of PPI data describes the interaction relationship among proteins in a cell. Furthermore, knowledge about the topology of a PPI network in one organism can yield insights about not only the networks of similar organisms, but also the function of their components. Hence comparison between protein interaction networks is becoming central to systems biology.
With the increasing availability of large PPI networks, comparative analysis of PPI networks across species has been proving to be a valuable method to study biology at a systems level. Protein interaction network alignment enables us to identify conserved functional components across species and perform high-quality ortholog prediction, i.e., identifying genes in different species derived from the same ancestral region. However, the computational complexity of alignment of multiple networks grows exponentially in the number of species. Besides, the genomes corresponding to the various networks being aligned may vary widely in size. We aim for the better global alignment algorithm of multiple PPI networks which will enable more accurate identification of functional orthologs across species more efficiently. We have collaborated with the MIT team and developed global alignment algorithms for performing comparative analysis of multiple biological networks, and especially our graph-theoretic spectral clustering technique, IsoRankN which is analogous to PageRank used by Google to rank web pages, outperforms all the existing algorithms so far. The related results have appeared as oral papers in the top conferences ISMB’09 and PSB’10 , and one of the papers has been invited to be published in Bioinformatics .
In addition, the use of PPI networks in computing orthologs can produce biologically-appropriate mappings that better conserve protein function across species. It also facilitates annotation transfer from well-studied species to others. This practical use has also motivated a significant amount of work in the identification of orthologs. We consider the ortholog detection problem which is to identify gene correspondences across species that maximize functional similarity. Our goal is to build a publicly available network-based ortholog database that focuses on groupings of functionally related proteins. We have also collected the clusters computed using IsoRankN and build the first functionally ortholog (network-based) database, IsoBase (also see prototype). The related result has been accepted by the top journal Nucleic Acids Research .
We extend IsoRankN to explore the phylogenetic relationships between microorganisms through global alignment of multiple metabolic networks . The resulting trees reflect the living style of organisms as well as classical taxa. For phylogenetically closely related organisms, the classification results are consistent with specific metabolic characteristics. Moreover, our exhaustive analysis of microbial metabolic pathways reveals differences in metabolic features between phylogenetically closely related organisms. We then proposed a new aligner, PISwap, for optimizing global pairwise alignments of protein interaction networks based on a local optimization heuristic . PISwap can begin with different types of network alignment approaches and then iteratively adjust the initial alignments by incorporating network topology information, trading it off for sequence information. In practice, our algorithm efficiently refines other well-studied alignment techniques with almost no additional time cost. We also show the robustness of the algorithm to noise in protein interaction data.
Recently, we designed a new algorithm to automatically identify protein complexes , which is one of the most challenging tasks in systems biology. The algorithm integrates functional orthology information across multiple species to expand the search space of protein complex detections. As part of our approach, we also defined a new edge clustering coefficient to assign weight to interaction edges in PPI networks so that protein complexes can be identified more accurately. The edge clustering coefficient is based on the intuition that there is functional information captured in the common neighbors of the common neighbors as well. Our results showed that the algorithm outperforms well-known protein complex identification tools in a balance between precision and recall on three eukaryotic species: human, yeast, and fly. As a result of multiple network alignments of the species, the proposed approach can tolerate the edge loss of PPI networks and even discover sparse protein complexes which have traditionally been a challenge to predict.
