What other use did paper capacitors serve in the telecommunications industry?
Since the beginning of the study of electricity non conductive materials like glass, porcelain, paper and mica have been used as insulators. These materials some decades later were also well-suited for further use as the dielectric for the first capacitors. Paper capacitors made by sandwiching a strip of impregnated paper between strips of metal, and rolling the result into a cylinder were commonly used in the late 19century; their manufacture started in 1876, and they were used from the early 20th century as decoupling capacitors in telecommunications (telephony).
Japan saw the release of the Satellaview, a modem which attached to the Super Famicom's expansion port and connected to the St.GIGA satellite radio station. Users of the Satellaview could download gaming news and specially designed games, which were frequently either remakes of or sequels to older Famicom titles, released in installments. Satellaview signals were broadcast from April 23, 1995 through June 30, 2000. In the United States, the similar but relatively short-lived XBAND allowed users to connect to a network via a dial-up modem to compete against other players around the country.

Im looking for a linear algebra textbook that meets two criterion: The book should be proof-based. The book should try and motivate most, if not most of the ideas, of the geometry of linear maps and matrix decompositions. For example, the permutation maps can be thought of as rotation maps because permutation matrices simply rotate the basis vectors. I’m looking for a book that explains all ideas and methods geometrically as well. A plus would also be that the book also foreshadows which properties can be generalized to a functional analytic setting.
I plan to self-study linear algebra this summer. I am sorta already familiar with vectors, vector spaces and subspaces and I am really interested in everything about matrices (diagonalization, ...), linear maps and their matrix representation and eigenvectors and eigenvalues. I am looking for a book that handles every of the aforementioned topics in details. I also want to build a solid basis of the mathematical way of thinking to get ready to an exciting abstract algebra next semester, so my main aim is to work on proofs for somehow hard problems. I got Lang's "Intro. to Linear Algebra" and it is too easy, superficial. Can you advise me a good book for all of the above? Please take into consideration that it is for self-study, so that it' gotta work on its own. Thanks.
How do you generate all the permutations of a list in Python, independently of the type of elements in that list? For example: permutations([]) [] permutations([1]) [1] permutations([1, 2]) [1, 2] [2, 1] permutations([1, 2, 3]) [1, 2, 3] [1, 3, 2] [2, 1, 3] [2, 3, 1] [3, 1, 2] [3, 2, 1]

Im studying a book about stochastic processes and it is mentioned in the book that the equation below is true and we can obtain it by generating functions can anyone prove it. Thanks a lot. $$\sum_{m=0}^{\infty}\binom{2m}{m}p^m = (1 - 4p)^{-1/2}$$
How do you prove that $\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}{2n \choose n}x^n=(1-4x)^{-1/2}$? I tried to identify the sum as a binomial series, but the $4$ and the $-1/2$ puzzle me. (This series arises in studying the first passage time of a simple random walk.)
Found the alternative form: $\sum _{k=1}^\infty ((1-\frac{1}{k})^{k})^k$. Tried various criteria, no luck so far.

Prove combinatorial Identity using a combinatorial argument. I have proved by induction on k that : $$ \binom{n}{n} + \binom{n+1}{n} + \binom{n+2}{n}+ ... + \binom{n+k}{n} = \binom{n+k+1}{n+1} $$ But now, I need to prove it using a combinatorial argument. Could someone give me a hint ? :/ Thank you !
Combinatorial Proof for Binomial Identity: $\sum_{k = 0}^n \binom{k}{p} = \binom{n+1}{p+1}$ I am studying combinatorics and I came across the identity $$\sum\limits_{k=0}^n \binom kp =\binom {n+1}{p+1}.$$ I have read the algebraic proof and it does not appeal to me. Is there an elegant counting trick we can use to arrive at this identity?

This is not a guitar instructional book. This is an anthology or compilation of latin songs. It's a songbook with chords. If you are looking for a guitar method, try others books like guitar methods by Wolf Marshall, Carcassi method, Noad's First Book for guitar or any Mel Bay complete method for guitar, etc.

average cost for landscaping
The average size residential project in the study was 19,600 sq.ft., with a landscape area of 15,680 sq.ft. (80%). The total average costs per square foot was $4.34 to $17.83 for contractor installed projects and $4.94 to $19.53 for professionally designed and coordinated and contractor installed projects.The average costs for a do-it-yourself project in the study was $2.20 to $9.77 per sq.ft.he total average costs per square foot was $4.34 to $17.83 for contractor installed projects and $4.94 to $19.53 for professionally designed and coordinated and contractor installed projects. The average costs for a do-it-yourself project in the study was $2.20 to $9.77 per sq.ft.
Landscaping Cost. A landscaping project can cost anywhere from $5,000 to over $100,000. When deciding on a budget keep in mind that investing in professional landscaping will greatly add to the value of your home. A general rule of thumb is to spend 10% of your home's value on landscaping. So, if you have a $400,000 house then a landscaping budget of $40,000 is appropriate.

game development cost breakdown
New research suggests development budgets are soaring dangerously fast. The average development budget for a multiplatform next-gen game is $18-$28 million, according to new data. A study by entertainment analyst group M2 Research also puts development costs for single-platform projects at an averge of $10 million.The figures themselves may not be too surprising, with high-profile games often breaking the $40 million barrier. study by entertainment analyst group M2 Research also puts development costs for single-platform projects at an averge of $10 million. The figures themselves may not be too surprising, with high-profile games often breaking the $40 million barrier.
Depending on what municipality/region you build in, pricing for building & development costs can range from as low as $10,000 to $30,000. For example, on a 1,800 square foot home, this translates to a difference of $11.00 per square foot.

I have 30 inch snapper bolt holes are 3inches on center will these shoes fit ???
Hello, I was able to make them fit on a older Honda. They are made of plastic so are pretty easy to file down/grind off material or drill holes into to make them fit,If you are handy. So I think they could work if you take your time , remove one side at a time and study the old shoe vs new one and see what holes you need to enlarge w a round/flat file or grinder, drill new holes etc: Take your time and have a beer, it worked for me but took a while to do : ). Hope this helps!
It might. It depends on the size of the opening of the discharge port of your deck. If you are replacing an existing chute that is already attached to your deck, check that piece for numbers molded into the plastic. That will be the part # you are looking for. If there are no numbers, this replacement chute is for the larger of the 2 openings that craftsman made for the 48' deck. Somebody on Amazon answers already has the measurements posted between the 2 different sizes. Hope this helps!

Does this have a hard shell on the bottom? I've seen some that do and it seems like a good idea. If not, does it seem like that would be better?
the fat tire snow tube is a 2 piece deal with a 'standard' black rubber truck(?) tire tube inside a very study nylon shell. the shell is not a hard one but as it is nylon it seems very sturdy. the construction of both make it very easy to store after the winter months in a very small space. a hard shell might present long term storage issues. i like the nylon shell. over i have been very happy with the fat tire tube. my 8 yr old son loves it and has used it a lot, i myself have take a few runs down the hill on it as well and found it very sturdy and stable. hope that helps.

Computer Assisted Transcription of Text Images: Results on the GERMANA Corpus and Analysis of Improvements Needed for Practical Use
We present a study of the application of Computer Assisted Transcription of Text Images (CATTI) to a task which is much closer to real applications than other tasks previously studied. The new task consists in the transcription of a new publicly available historic handwritten document, called GERMANA. A detailed analysis of the main factors in???uencing the system performance are exposed and some strategies to circumvent them are proposed.

I've been studying South Asia so I thought I'd watch some movies by people in the region. The movies arrived quickly but the sound quality is terrible and the DVDs themselves skip and get stuck on my computer, my parents' DVD player, and every other DVD player you put them on. The movies themselves have great storylines and music, but the DVDs are really poor quality.
After I purchased these movies, I did not watch them right away. Once i did watch them I found out that they all skip badly. Unfortunately it was already passed the return date policy.

how long does a bathroom renovation take
Tags: Bathroom renovation. A typical bathroom renovation takes roughly four weeks to complete. So if you don’t have a second bathroom, it’s safe to say you’ll need to factor in moving out temporarily or at the very least finding another place to shower will be essential.ainting – Any required painting to architraves, walls etc. 14. Site cleaning. Hopefully, knowing the timeline process will give you a better idea of just why your bathroom could be out of action for about four weeks.
What is the average time it takes to go to the bathroom? I did a study of 30 random men and it took an average mean of 163 seconds for a man to use a public restroom. Usually for the best preparation of GMAT an applicant takes 5 to 6 months. But if we look on the average time it seems to be only 3 to 4 months.

i mean do ihave to have a study relationship with agut am 18 years old.
Of course not. It is your life and there are times when it is easier and best if you are single and able to focus on other things than relationships.
What wrong with all the girls in your Home town or City, State, Country. Why do you think going out side of your own country is better?\n\nMost people can't make a long distance relationship work, when they live 2hours away, much less a hole state away. Get someone who's close to you, as in 20 mins. or less that you can see everyday.\nIt's called dating.

Measurement system My question is what the purpose of components in the red marked, blue marked and black marked area?.
What is the purpose of the three part circuit? I'm studying for my final on introduction to circuits and came across a question about this circuit: The question is: Identify and describe the three parts of the circuit used for a measurement system for signal conditioning. Describe the signal conditioning one intends to use the circuit for. From what I can tell the R1 and R2 resistors are the first part of the circuit used to use a fraction of the incoming voltage. The second part is the voltage follower used to move all of the incoming voltage to another circuit. Lastly there is a low pass filter used to filter off the high frequency voltage. The second question I'm not sure of the answer.

Zend Developer Zone: Security Tip of the Week
The Zend Developer Zone has starting up their own contribution to the security side of the PHP community - a "Security Tip of the Week" starting with the first three new ones posted just recently: Tip number one involves a good recommendation - keeping your PHP version up to date. Many security issues and exploits have come around because of older versions and the issues they hold. Tip number two focuses on the errors that your site gives to the viewing public and the information they can betray (file locations, etc) Tip number three talks about using other applications to help you find issues in your code that you might not even know were there - such as Chorizo and the PHPSecInfo reporting tool. Stay tuned for even more security goodness from Cal and the Zend Developer Zone over the coming weeks...

Pyrvinium pamoate in the treatment of pinworm infection (enterobiasis) in the home.
Summary Pyrvinium pamoate suspension in a dosage of 5 mg. per kilogram was administered to children from a group of families in a university housing project. The results show that a single dose was highly effective initially in controlling infection, but reinfection occurred commonly. Doses repeated at 3 week intervals partially solved the problem of recurrent infection. The data from this study do not justify the use of pyrvinium pamoate prophylactically in noninfected children. Factors important in reinfection withinthe family environment are discussed, and a dose of 5 mg. per kilogram of body weight administered 3 times at biweekly intervals is suggested.

Blobs or Slabs — is that the Question?
Theoretical models and hypotheses are the basis of any experimental work. Their predictive value has to be tested by appropriate experiments in order to select those concepts that are more viable than others.
Digital maps can be stored and, distributed electronically using compressed raster image formats. In this work, we study how the latest JBIG2 standard can be used for storing the map images. Image tiling must be performed to support direct access to partial images in the compressed file. This can be implemented by storing each image block as its own segment. Another problem is how to store the multiple image components. There are altemative ways to solve this problem by utilizing the features of JBIG2 in creative ways.

Review Article: An Overview of Image Compression Techniques
To store an image, large quantities of digital data are required. Due to limited bandwidth, image must be compressed before transmission. However, image compression reduces the image fidelity, when an image is compressed at low bitrates. Hence, the compressed images suffer from block artifacts. To meet this, several compression schemes have been developed in image processing. This study presents an overview of compression techniques for image applications. It covers the lossy and lossless compression algorithm used for still image and other applications. The focus of this article is based on the overview of VLSI DCT architecture for image compression. Further, this new approach may provide better results.

From moment explosions to the asymptotic behavior of the cumulative distribution
We study the Tauberlan relations between the moment generating function of a random variable and the complementary cumulative distribution function of this variable. We show that if the moment generating function is finite only on part of the real line, then the behavior of the MGF near the critical moment gives the asymptotic behavior of the complementary cumulative distribution function of this variable. We apply our results to an arbitrary superposition of a CIR process and the time-integral of this process.
Abstract The aim of the present paper is to give the main characteristics of the finite-source G / M /r queue in equilibrium. Here unit i stays in the source for a random time having general distribution function F i ( x ) with density f i ( x ). The service times of all units are assumed to be identically and exponentially distributed random variables with means 1/μ. It is shown that the solution to this G / M /r model is similar in most important respects to that for the M/M/ r model.

Good evening, I was wondering how to prove easily this inequality: \begin{equation} py^{p-1}(x-y)\leq x^p-y^p\leq px^{p-1}(x-y) \end{equation} for all $x,y\geq0$ and $p\in[1,+\infty)$. I tried to study both the functions $\frac{x^p-y^p}{y^{p-1}(x-y)}$ and $\frac{x^p-y^p}{x^{p-1}(x-y)}$, but I'm not getting anywhere.
I was trying to solve the following: Given: $0 < a < b$ and $n>1$, prove: $$na^{n-1}(b-a) < b^n-a^n < nb^{n-1}(b-a)$$ I managed to get this far using the mean value theorem: $$a^n(b-a)<b^n -a^n<b^n (b-a)$$ Any idea how to continue?
In an urn there are $n$ red balls and $m$ blue balls. I extract them without replacement. Let $X$=time of first blue. What is $E(X)$? I found PMF of $X$ and it is, if $k > n+1$ $$P(X=k) =\frac{n(n-1) \dots (n-k+1)m}{(m+n)(m+n-1) \dots (n+m-k+1)}$$ How could I evaluate $E(X)$? Edit: I'm looking for an explicit form of $E(X)$

what is the motion of paramecium through the water?
A photograph of Paramecium is shown right below. Movement The outer surface of the cell is covered with many hundreds of tiny hair-like structures called cilia. These act like microscopic oars to push through the water, enabling the organism to swim. The speed of motion is about four times its own length per second. It moves so quickly that microscopists have to add a thickening agent to the water to slow it down to study it. As it moves through the water it rotates on its axis and small particles of debris and food are collected and swept into the gullet. If Paramecium comes across an obstacle, it stops, reverses the beating of the cilia, swims backwards, turns through an angle and moves forward again on a slightly different course. Feeding

motivating diagonalization of a matrix I have to teach about diagonalization of a matrix to a first year undergrad student and I was wondering what would be a good way to motivate this concept. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
Why do we need a diagonal matrix? Apart from simplifying matrix powers, why do want to diagonalize a matrix? Do they have any appealing application which can be used to motivate to study diagonal matrices. Thanks for any answers.
What are recommended, general strategies to start block-cipher design and/or analysis? I (and many others for that matter) have always been fascinated by the inner workings of the modern building block of cryptography: block ciphers. Now, the ressources on the "black art" of design and analysis of these ciphers are sparse; especially for the entry level. Available information like seems to be somewhat outdated (due to its age). What's the general consensus of the “best” (read: recommended) strategy to start designing and/or analyzing modern cryptographical block ciphers? Nota bene: Think of this as a general, wiki-alike question – for learning purposes only. (Besides that, this Q&A would represent a place we can point people to when alike algorithm design questions arise.)

We consider topological properties based on continuous extensions of total preorders. First we study extension properties based on closed subsets of topological spaces. Thus, we analyze the Yi’s extension property for which any total preorder defined on a closed subset of a topological space, and continuous with respect to the relative topology, admits a continuous extension to the whole space. We show that the Yi’s extension property implies the Tietze’s extension property, so that it is a particular case of normality. In the second part of this paper, we study extension properties based on open subsets of topological spaces, showing that they are related to topological properties of extremal disconnectedness.
We consider the problem of extending preferences from a subset of a commodity space to the entire space. It is a simple consequence of the Tietze extension theorem that continuous preferences can be extended if they are defined on closed subsets of a normal space and are representable by utility functions. We show the following: If the space is a non-separable metric space, then extension of preferences is not always possible. In fact for (path-connected) metric spaces, extension property, utility representation property, and separability are equivalent to each other.

Please give me examples of disconnected metric spaces that cannot be isometrically embedded into connected metric spaces. I have just started to study connected metric spaces and I haven't found out a metric space $X$ which isn't a subspace from another metric space such that $X$ isn't connected. Every counterexample that I've looked, has been subspaces from a bigger metric space, e.g. $[0, 1]\cup[2, 3]$ which fails to be an interval in $(\mathbb{R}, |\cdot|$). It might be topological space that isn't connected but for metric spaces? is there any apart from discrete metric spaces? Thanks in advance
Is every metric space a subspace of some connected metric space? If the space itself is connected then we're done, but if not then I think we can extend our metric space to make it connected. I'm not sure whether this will work or not, but intuitively I think the answer is yes.

There seems to be two common definitions of neighborhoods of a point- an open set containing the point, or an set containing an open set which itself contains that point. Why don't we just use the former definition, it seems so much simpler? What do we gain from the latter?
I am a Physics undergrad, and just started studying Topology. How do you define neighborhood and open set in Topology.Wikipedia gives a circular definition. An is defined as follows. In topology, a set is called an open set if it is a neighborhood of every point While a is defined as follows: If $X$ is a topological space and $p$ is a point in $X$, a neighbourhood of $p$ is a subset $V$ of $X$, which includes an open set $U$ containing $p$ which itself contains the term open set. How do you define it exactly?
