Q: Show that any non zero ideal of a principal ideal domain is a unique product of prime ideals I know that in a PID all the ideals are principal ideals but how to connect this with the given question?
I have no idea how to prove this.Any help
will be highly appreciated.

A: Fact: Every PID is a UFD. See here for example or any book in the topic.
Also, some easy exercises:

*

*The ideal $(p)$ is prime if and only if $p$ is a prime element.

*If $I=(a)$ and $J=(b)$ then $IJ=(ab)$.

*The ideals $(a)$ and $(b)$ are equal iff there is a unit $u$ such that $a=ub$.

*In a UFD an element is prime if and only if it is irreducible.

Now let $I$ be a nonzero ideal on a PID $A$. Then there is an element $a\in A$ such that $I=(a)$. By the exercises above we have that $I=P_1\cdots P_n$ for some primes ideals $P_1,\dots,P_n$ if and only if $a=u\cdot p_1\cdots p_n$ for some prime elements $p_i$. But as each $p_i$ is irreducible this is precisely a factorization of $a$ in irreducible elements.
Hence, existence and uniqueness of the factorization into product of prime ideals are the direct translations of existence and uniqueness of the factorization of $a$ into irreducible elements. These are true because $A$ is a UFD.

A Texas-born Italian princess is fighting a court order to vacate her 16th-century Roman villa, which houses the world's only known $335 million Caravaggio ceiling mural.
Princess Rita Jenrette Boncompagni Ludovisi, 73, was given 60 days' notice last week to leave the Casino dell'Aurora, the latest chapter in a long-standing legacy feud with her late husband's three sons.
Ms. Boncompagni Ludovisi, a former actress, told Reuters she was "stunned" when she was ordered to leave her home and would appeal the decision.
Located in the center of Rome, the Casino dell'Aurora is built on the ancient gardens of Julius Caesar and contains works of art by famous Italian artists, such as Guercino and Caravaggio's Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto.
After the death of her third husband, Prince Nicolò Francesco Boncompagni Ludovisi, in 2018, Ms. Boncompagni Ludovisi was allowed to live in the villa for the rest of her life, according to Reuters.
When sold, the proceeds would be divided between her and her late husband's sons.
The Italian king's sons disputed the terms of his will and have been embroiled in a lengthy legal dispute ever since.
The villa has since fallen into a state of disrepair and an Italian court has ordered its sale to resolve the inheritance dispute with Prince Nicolò's sons.
It failed to sell at an online auction in January 2022, after court-appointed experts placed a minimum bid price on the villa of $380 million (350 million euros).
Four other auctions at lower values also failed to find a buyer.

After the collapse of an exterior wall near the property forced the closure of an adjacent street, a judge ruled that the property was not properly maintained and issued an eviction order, according to La Republic.
Mrs. Boncompagni Ludovisi told Reuters she thought she may have been sidelined in court after offering unauthorized paid tours of the property to help with maintenance costs.
According to the Associated Press, the villa was built in 1570 and has belonged to the Ludovisi family since the early 1600s.
A previous listing at the Rome Tribunal's auction describes it as a six-level "listed building" that is "one of the most prestigious architectural and scenic beauties of pre-unification Rome".
It features three garages, two roof terraces and a "superb garden with trees and tall trees, footpaths, steps and rest areas".
Mrs Boncompagni Ludovisi has been living in the villa for 20 years, telling the guard in a recent interview that she spent "all my time and resources" on it.
Before marrying her Italian prince, Ms. Boncompagni Ludovisi had worked in New York for television and real estate and assisted in Donald Trump's 1998 purchase of the General Motors building in 1998, according to Forbes.
She was previously married to former North Carolina Congressman John Jenrette.
Ms Boncompagni Ludovisi did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The independent.

Q: Why people use style on React direct to the file on File.js? Why not just on index.html? I see many people on my learning or developer use react always make the css file direct to the App.js or component on React, like this:
require('./style/main.css');

or this
import styles from './style/main.css';

Why we must do this? Why not linking on head of index.html?

A: First of all, your question has nothing to do with react-native.
React native is a framework that was developed by Facebook that lets you build mobile apps using only JavaScript. It uses the same design as React, letting you compose a rich mobile UI from declarative components.
You can read about it more here
However, judging by what you have written, they're probably using require and import just to make you get used to the fact that you're going to them a lot in your project. You can still add your stylesheet inside your HTML document normally though.
A small basic example.
JS:
var React = require('react');
var ReactDOM = require('react-dom')

var Hello = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    return
Hello {this.props.name}
;
  }
});

ReactDOM.render(
  <Hello name="World" />,
  document.getElementById('container')
);

HTML:

  <title>React App</title>

A: As @Raymond had said in his answer, your question does not apply for react-native as there is no html in react-native.
If you are just learning react, chances are you are bootstrapping your react project with create-react-app. You can include the css in the html and it will work just fine. However, importing static assets (images, css, etc) has a few advantages, which are (quoting from the documentation):

*

*Scripts and stylesheets get minified and bundled together, thus reducing the network payload.

*Missing files cause compilation errors instead of 404 errors.

*Result filenames include content hashes so you don't need to worry about browsers caching their old versions. This will ensure that the assets are always 'fresh'.

A: To answer your main question, why do people do this...?
React is a JavaScript centric library. In that the JS code defines the component (or application) and from there all the dependencies are declared, including assets. The HTML is really a secondary concern, and just provides the mounting point for the app.
If you use a bundling tool like webpack you can declare component and application asset dependencies inside your code. The bundler will parse these files are add them to the bundle (as external files). This is good practice as it allows components to be self contained - you import the code and all dependent files are automatically added to your bundle. Via plugins, the bundling tool also has a chance to do some processing on the file, like adding browser prefixes to CSS attributes. With modular CSS this approach will become more and more common.

George III's eldest son, the Prince of Wales, had been a Whig until 1811, when the Regency Act, allowing him to rule during the mental illness of his father, became law. At the time the Tories were in power but everyone, knowing his political leanings, expected him to replace the current government with a Whig one, led by William Wyndham Grenville. Much to the Whig's disappointment, that didn't happen, and during the years, the Prince became increasingly pro-Tory.
Repaid thee by thy people's smiles!

This is the perfect chip. I can convince myself that I'm eating something healthy, even though Sun Chips are just as fatty as Lay's. Plus, my kids won't touch these because they're too spicy, so the bag lasts longer than 3 hours. I think I might try these with milk in the morning...they're that good. 5 stars.
Sun Chips, the wholesome seventh day Adventists of the chip world, have decided to pursue the dangerous life of jalapeno flavors. I often can't resist eating anything spicy, but most jalapeno chips end up tasting of hot salt. Thank goodness the experts at Sun Chips have decided to mix that spicy flavor with a good dose of cheese powder. Next time I go to subway I'm grabbing another bag. 4 stars.
I really wanted to like these but they are so disgusting. It was like eating spicy sandpaper pieces. 0 Stars.
Might as well be chewing glass for what these do to my gums. Yeah, I have sensitive gums. Cut them up and then shove spicy peppers into the wound. Perfect combo. 2 stars.

Giants vs Vikings Prediction, Game Preview, Live Stream, Odds and Picks
It will be a rematch between the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings, who played each other in Week 16 on Christmas Eve. The Vikings (13-4) barely came out of that game with a win, needing a 61-yard field goal to keep it from going to overtime.
Last week, the sixth-seeded Giants (9-7-1) rested many of their key players, letting their third-string quarterback start the game, but managed to keep it close with the No. 1 seed Philadelphia Eagles in a 22-16 loss. For the No. 3 seed Vikings, they beat up on the Chicago Bears, 29-13 as the starters played to shake off the feelings of a blowout loss the prior week.
Let's check the latest NFL odds, stats, injury reports, and NFL lines for Giants vs Vikings. We've plenty of Vegas NFL odds for NFL Wild Card Playoffs Games.
Giants vs Vikings Betting Lines
Giants Have Nothing to Lose
The Giants are the clear underdog in this Wild Card game. Under first-year coach Brian Daboll, it has been a surprise they are in the playoffs, let alone sitting at 6-2 before their bye week. But now they are here and given their last meeting with the Vikings, they have hope of pulling off the upset.
On offense, it goes through the legs of quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley. The Giants' offense has the fourth-most rushing yards and touchdowns, large thanks to those two. Barkley had a career year with 1,312 rushing yards, adding 10 touchdowns after two injury-riddled seasons. He had been slowing again while dealing with injuries, but sitting out the last game should have him more than ready to face the Vikings. He rushed for six yards per carry in Week 16.
More importantly, the defense got a much-needed rest. Key defensive linemen in Leonard Williams and Dexter Lawrence were given the week off to rest up and be ready to face the Vikings. The defense had four sacks in the last matchup with the Vikings and will look to create havoc again. Furthermore, corner Adoree Jackson looks to make his return from being out since Week 11, and safety Xavier McKinney seems ready to play. Both missed the first game with the Vikings.
Offense Must Lead the Vikings
This Vikings' season has been peculiar. They are tied for the second-best record in the NFC but ended the season with a -3 point differential. Part of that is because three of their four losses were blowouts, while the other was by 11. On top of that, they have not won by over 10 points except for their first and final games. But, the Vikings have been great in close games, primarily due to a top-tier offense that makes up for a defense that has put them in bad spots.
Kirk Cousins has had a great season, throwing for 4,547 yards and 29 touchdowns. Justin Jefferson, his primary target, led the league in receptions (128) and receiving yards (1,809) to go with eight touchdowns. The passing game is capped with tight end T.J. Hockenson, who was traded for midseason. His best game on the Vikings came against the Giants with 109 yards and two touchdowns. Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn have also played a role in the receiving game, each with at least 650 yards while combining for 11 touchdowns.
Can't forget about Dalvin Cook, having his fourth straight season of over 1,100 yards on the ground, which has helped this offense be one of the best in the NFL. They are eighth in points and seventh in yards.
The defense has been the downfall, which has been terrible, giving up 25.1 points per game, fifth most, and the second most yards. The secondary has been the problem, allowing the second-most passing yards.
Giants vs Vikings Game Injuries
Giants vs Vikings Head-to-Head
The Giants have lost to the Vikings in their last four meetings, and the last time they won was in 2013. They already played a great game this season in Minnesota. Despite the loss, Jones had one of his best passing games with 334 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Giants vs Vikings Picks and Prediction
Predicted score: Giants 23, Vikings 21
Worth Betting on the Moneyline?
The Vikings are on upset watch against the Giants this Wild Card weekend. The Giants made mistakes in the first game, which could have cost them. The defense is getting healthy and New York should have learned from its mistakes on offense, which is in rhythm against a poor Vikings defense.
Worth Betting ATS?
The Giants have been good against the spread, going 13-4, while the Vikings are 7-9-1. With the line set at -3 in favor of the Vikings, there is a good chance that the Giants should be able to make it a close game. Also, both teams have been in close games all season, which may lead to that happening again.
Worth Betting on the Totals?
Neither team has a great defense, which could lead to significant opportunities for the offenses to have big games. Yet this is still the playoffs, and they could be more conservative. The Giants' defense will be healthier this time, and the offense does not have the explosive talent at receiver to take advantage of the Vikings' weakness in the secondary.

Q: Scale of control variable in ANCOVA I am new to the field of ANCOVAs. I want to check if two groups differ in three quantitative variables. At the same time I would like to control for gender and diagnose (6 categories).
Is it possible, to run an ANCOVA with a categorial control variable? Furthermore: can I enter the three quantitative variables at once or do I have to check them seperately? If so: is there a need to correct the data with bonferroni correction?

There have never been more
unmarried women in America.
About 57 million women in the United States are unmarried — widowed, divorced, separated, or single. That's one out of every two U.S. women. Their numbers are growing, along with their power to influence elections and set policy priorities. We created the VPC Data Center to house and highlight information and analysis from multiple sources on this fast-growing, increasingly influential population. This library is intended to be an easily-accessible, often-updated resource.
New Report: Demographics & Voting Trends of Key 2018 Groups
September 26 is National Voter Registration Day… and to commemorate this occasion, we're teaming up with Lake Research Partners to release the most comprehensive political analysis of the Rising American Electorate in the 2016 elections.
In 2016, for the first time in American history, the Rising American Electorate — which makes up the majority of citizens eligible to vote at 59.2% — also cast the majority of ballots, at 52.6%. But nearly two-thirds of the projected drop-off for the 2018 election will come from the RAE, and large percentages of unmarried women (32.5%), Latinos (42.7%), and millennials (39.3%) aren't registered to vote — underscoring the huge potential of the RAE and the importance of making sure that every eligible American is registered to vote.
The report provides a thorough breakdown of demographic information from the 2016 election including dissecting data by state, analyzing how ballots were cast, comparing registration and turnout rates, population mobility, methods of registration, reported reasons for not registering, economic factors and expected 2018 drop off.

Equal Pay Day 2017: Unmarried Women and the #WageGap
Equal Pay Day for Unmarried Women: 2017
As part of our ongoing efforts to understand the voting patterns of the Rising American Electorate, we've worked with Lake Research Partners to produce this report, which catalogues the changes in voting turnout for the Rising American Electorate between 2012 and 2016 – and makes projections for voter drop-off in 2018.
The projections are sobering and troubling to everyone who cares about increasing participation in our great democracy. Our prediction is that 40 million Americans who voted in 2016 won't cast a ballot in the 2018 midterms — and to make matters worse, 2/3 of those drop-off voters will be members of the Rising American Electorate. The RAE dropoff is projected to be particularly pronounced in key 2018 battleground states, such as Arizona, Nevada, Florida, and Ohio:
Add in the effects of ongoing vote suppression efforts and the implication is clear: Democracy is facing a headwind in 2018. We need to double down on voter registration, mobilization and turnout efforts, and fighting for voting rights in order to make sure that every American has the opportunity to raise their voice at the ballot box.

Unmarried Women in America, 2017
The following excerpt is from Voter Participation Center's extensive new report, Unmarried Women in America, 2017.
In the United States today, more than one out of every two women is unmarried – divorced, separated, widowed, or never been married. Single women are one of the fastest-growing demographic groups in America. Between 2004 and 2016, the percentage of unmarried women in the population grew by two percentage points, and the percentage of married women dropped by two points:
Unmarried women are living very different lives than married women in the United States; unmarried women make less money, are more likely to live in poverty, to be unemployed, and to have no health insurance, savings, or retirement income. This "Marriage Gap" is not just economic, but political. Marital status has been proven to determine voting participation and preferences.
But instead of recognizing this fundamental change in the lives of the majority of American women and adopting policies that address the economic and diverse realities of single women's lives, the Trump administration and their Republican allies in Congress are now poised to enact health care, budget, and tax plans that will hurt all women, but unmarried women disproportionately.
To have their voices heard, affect policy changes, and exact a political price, they must vote at levels that reflect their strength in the population. In 2016, even though single women had the numerical edge in terms of eligible voters, they were not registered and did not vote at the levels of married women, who are less progressive in their views.
Right now, close to one third of eligible unmarried women aren't registered to vote, and more than one in ten of the single women who were registered in 2016 didn't vote.
Clearly, single women have more power to shape the policy and political debate than they are using. Read the full report: Unmarried Women in America, 2017.

from Equal Pay Day for Unmarried Women: 2017
April 4, 2017 is Equal Pay Day 2017 — the date that symbolizes how far into 2017 the average woman has to work in order to make the same amount as the average man. According to 2016 US Census data, the wage gap for 2016 was the same as in 2015: for every $1 the average man is paid, the average woman is paid only $0.80.
Unmarried women are hit particularly hard by the wage gap. For every $1 the average man earns, the average unmarried woman is paid only $0.71… and for every $1 the average married man is paid, the average unmarried woman is paid only $0.59. That means that the average unmarried woman has to work until May 31, 2017 just to make the same as the average man did in 2016, and until September 12, 2017 to make the same as the average married man did in 2016.
And it's even worse for unmarried women of color: For every $1 the average married man is paid, the average unmarried African-American woman is paid only $0.57, the average unmarried Native American woman only $0.50, and the average unmarried Hispanic woman only $0.48. That means that in order to make as much as the average married man made in 2016, the average unmarried Hispanic woman will have to work until January 26, 2018.
Here's a state-by-state breakdown of the wage gap for unmarried women. What is the wage gap for your state?

The proposed Trump budget released on March 16 increases spending on defense and homeland security by making big cuts to domestic spending that will disproportionately affect women and the poor — including slashing the budgets for the WIC nutrition assistance program, job training programs for disadvantaged youth and seniors, important medical research at the National Institutes of Health, afterschool programs and aid to low-income and minority college students, and neighborhood investments for low-income communities.
Overall, the trend in Trump's budget is clear, just like it is in the health care proposal being put forth by Trump and the Republicans: Tax cuts for the wealthy and increases in military spending, "paid for" by cuts to government programs that historically help working- and middle-class Americans — especially unmarried women, people of color, and young people.
March 20 Update: We've added a more thorough analysis of the FY2018 cuts to the Department of Education and the Department of Labor, and how these cuts would hurt unmarried women, people of color, and young people in particular.

VPC Summary of CBO Report on the American Health Care Act
NPWF: Not Enough Family Friendly Policies
Despite assurances from the Trump Administration that under the American Health Care Act (the GOP's replacement for the Affordable Care Act), "we'll have more individuals covered" and "nobody will be worse off financially," the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has just released an analysis of that legislation contradicting both claims.
Specifically, CBO's estimate is that if the AHCA passes, 14 million Americans will lose health insurance in 2018, increasing to 24 million by 2026. Out-of-pocket premium costs, deductibles, and cost-sharing costs will go up for most lower- and middle-income consumers using the exchanges — which will have a disproportionate negative effect on unmarried women, people of color, and young people who have all benefitted from the Affordable Care Act.
Read our complete summary of the CBO analysis below.

Read our takeaways from the CBO's analysis of the GOP's American Health Care Act, which could take away health insurance from as many as 24 million Americans by 2026.
VPC Analysis: The American Health Care Act
Since the Affordable Care Act (aka "Obamacare") was enacted in 2010, it has helped millions of Americans gain access to health insurance — and especially benefitted unmarried women, people of color, and millennials. Between 2013 (the beginning of open enrollment) and 2016, the uninsured rate among African-Americans dropped by 9.8 percentage points, adults 19-25 by 11.9 percentage points, and Hispanics by a staggering 15.9 percentage points.
All the while, Republicans have been pledging to "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act at their first opportunity — and on Monday, March 6, Republicans in Congress introduced their replacement plan, which they're calling the American Health Care Act.
Our researchers have analyzed the AHCA and found that it jeopardizes all of the gains realized in the Affordable Care Act:
Millions of Americans are likely to lose insurance coverage as the ACA's Medicaid expansion ends in 2020.
Health-care costs will rise significantly, especially for those with low incomes, because the Republican plan cuts health insurance subsidies and eliminates cost-sharing subsidies that help low-income Americans afford health insurance and health care.
The AHCA offers $600 billion in tax cuts to the wealthy, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
The AHCA could potentially unravel the individual insurance market by producing a spiral of increasing costs, reducing coverage and raising deductibles.

The 2017 Agenda: The Affordable Care Act and the New American Majority
The incoming president and the majority party in Congress have made it a priority to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. "Obamacare").
As part of our overall goal to collect and highlight data that reveals the economic and political conditions of unmarried women and the New American Majority (which also includes people of color and millennials), we've analyzed how repealing the Affordable Care Act would affect these crucial populations, and collected polling data on what Americans think about the ACA. We've also done some preliminary analysis of some of the Republican "replacement" plans, and put together a list of policy considerations for unmarried women in particular in any discussion of repealing and replacing the ACA.
Here are some of the things we found:
The Affordable Care Act is helping Americans. It has helped cut the uninsured rate for adults ages 18-64 by 43%, a change that has particularly helped unmarried women. In 2013, 10.1 unmarried women 18-64 were uninsured; by 2015, that number had fallen to 6.8 million.
According to a November 2016 poll from Kaiser Health Tracking, most of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act are extremely popular—including allowing young adults to remain on their parents' plan until age 26 (85% in favor), eliminating many out-of-pocket expenses for preventative services (83%), providing subsidies to low- and moderate-income Americans to help them get insurance coverage (80%), and prohibiting insurance companies from denying coverage due to preexisting conditions (69%). Additionally, a January 2017 poll from Quinnipiac (conducted after this report was completed) indicates that only 18% of Americans want to repeal the ACA.
According to analysts, the "replacement" plans being proposed would cost more money, cover fewer Americans, or both — and, of course, repealing the ACA without replacing it would take away health coverage from tens of millions of Americans, with a particularly heavy impact on the New American Majority.

Utopia Avenue : a novel / David Mitchell.
First U. S. edition.
New York : Random House, [2020]
"Soho, London, 1967. Folk-rock-psychedelic quartet Utopia Avenue is formed. Guitarist Jasper de Zoet, a shy, half-Dutch public-school musical prodigy, was hearing voices long before he dropped acid. Keyboardist Elf Holloway must defy the prejudices of her bank manager father, her housewife mother, and her age to forge her own career. Bassist Dean Moss cannot, will not, spend his life on the factory floor like everyone else in Gravesend. Band manager Levon Frankland--gay, Jewish, and Canadian--is not unduly burdened by conscience. The drummer is a drummer. Over two years and two albums, Utopia Avenue navigates the dark end of the Sixties: its parties, drugs and egos, political change and personal tragedy; and the trials of life as a working band in London, the provinces, European capitals and, finally, the promised land of America. What is art? What is fame? What is music? How can the whole be more than the sum of its parts? Can idealism change the world? How does your youth shape your life? This is the story of Utopia Avenue. Not everyone lives to the end"-- Provided by publisher.

This Industry Brief shares data-rich stories about how local governments, financial institutions and transportation hubs are reaching beyond their operational and supply chain carbon emissions and investing in their tenants and clients to help them reduce costs and carbon.
This Brief focuses on the food and beverage sector, comprising food and beverage processors and distributors, retail stores, and food service businesses. The business data provided in this Brief comes from the Climate Smart data pool of greenhouse gas emission inventories and reduction strategies for 770+ businesses, many of which have measured their emissions with Climate Smart for a number of years.
This Brief focuses on the construction SME sector. Construction employs 7% of all private-sector workers in Canada: over 96,000 people in Metro Vancouver or nearly 8% of the workforce. Within the sector, SMEs have a strong showing, representing 87% of construction jobs. 98% of construction businesses employ fewer than 50 employees.
This issue focuses on office-based businesses, which compose a broad section of the economy: over three-quarters of Canadian businesses are service-producing, with small firms (fewer than 100 employees) making up 98% of those.
Office-based businesses also include some of the most dynamic and fast-growing businesses in Canada: a greater proportion of high-growth firms are professional and administrative service businesses, as compared to many other industries.
This study examines GHG management amongst SMEs that have gone through the Climate Smart program. These organizations have received training in GHG management, and have measured their annual GHG emissions for at least one year. They are largely self-directed in deciding on and implementing reductions initiatives, though they receive guidance and peer support.


 The Value of Partnering Technologists and Designers - LPA Inc.
Technology is often seen as a disruptive force that affects virtually every aspect of our professional and personal lives. Time and time again, we've witnessed technology transform a business model and impose new rules with lower margins. It is essential for architects to view technology as an inspirational instrument as opposed to a support device.
Like any software or hardware, a tool sitting on a workbench is useless until it's placed in the hands of a craftsman who can leverage the tool to create amazing objects. Inspired by a great idea, a good craftsman can make even the crudest tool work in their favor. However, when the craftsman is paired with a tool that is innovative and accessible, the tool itself can inspire the process of creation instead of simply supporting it. In that partnership between craftsman and manufacturer of that innovative and accessible tool, lies the answer to staying relevant in a changing landscape imposed by technology.
Technologists like BIM managers, digital practice directors, and CIOs are constantly evaluating transformative technologies. Tradition often dictates that one's initial reaction to new technology is defensive. To be a good steward of your firm, it's important to consider how to mitigate risks, while maintaining a forward-looking practice.
However, to minimize the disruption and maximize the benefits of new technologies, technologists may find greater benefit in partnering with designers to take a more offensive position. In a true symbiotic partnership, the technologist and designer can advance the likelihood that technology choices will inspire the design process and sustain a firm's future.
But what does a successful partnership between a technologist and designer look like? In 2015, LPA, Inc. started to investigate this by evaluating the performance of computers within the firm. In terms of need, most designers rank speed first, stability second, and price last because they have a design that needs to be realized and a deadline to be met. The technologist, on the other hand, values stability first, price second, and speed last because they must support and supply the entire company. Because the technologist usually makes purchases, speed is sacrificed for stability and an opportunity to produce transformative work faster may be lost.
In the interest of inspiring the design process, LPA approached the evaluation of computers by partnering technologist and designers to find a better computer. Members of LPA's technology team and designers from the firm collaborated on evaluating six different computer manufacturers with more than 10 configurations to determine which computer would advance the design process while maintaining appropriate service levels.
Together, it was determined that the real-time visualization requirements of Revit and virtual reality (VR) necessitated a different class of workstation. Like many firms, LPA utilized workstations based on Intel Xeon CPUs and NVIDIA Quadro GPUs. Although these systems were relatively stable and performed well for standard workloads, they could not keep up with current trends such as using video game engines to render 3D and VR models. By migrating to workstations with Intel i7 6700K CPUs and NVIDIA GeForce 1080 GPUs, LPA balanced the needs of designers and technologists to provide a PC that performs 25 percent faster with only a five percent cost increase. Thanks to improvements in the gaming-class components, these performance improvements were realized without sacrificing stability or supportability.
After that initial exercise, LPA recognized more advanced technologies that contribute to evidence-based design solutions will be essential for the continued evolution of the firm. They will inform the design process rather than simply validate decisions. LPA created another collaborative of technologists and designers tasked with finding and implementing new tools based in iterative and generative design principles. Through a series of interviews and evaluations, LPA chose Sefaira for SketchUp, Insight 360 for Revit, and the Ladybug and Honeybee add-ins for Rhino.
To implement these tools, designers and internal technologists partnered to develop a design solution. In a series of workshops facilitated by the technology team, designers demonstrated the functionality of the tools and the technology team demonstrated the benefits for staff. Industry experts outside of LPA were also brought in to provide deeper levels of education and project-based evaluation. Having decision makers and users at the table to introduce the technology meant quicker buy-in from all, and advanced how quickly significant results were obtained. For example, LPA is now able to conduct deeper conceptual energy analysis, which allows architects to include it early in the design process rather relying on engineers to solve compliance issues after decisions are made.
While traditional means of evaluating technology have served architects well thus far, they are not the means that will propel firms into the future. LPA found that relationships are deepened when they are mutually beneficial. The firm's strides in technology would not have been as successful if a culture of collaboration and partnership was not embraced.

Q: How can I add image to PFTableViewCell Swift 2 Xcode 7 I am trying to display some text and images in a PFTableViewCell using Parse and Swift 2. I am able to fully display the text inside the cells but when I add the code for the images to display and run the application, it gives me the following error: "fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value"
Here is the code I'm using in:
     var textArray = [String]()
var imageArray = [UIImage]()

@IBOutlet weak var tableView2: UITableView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    let shopList = PFQuery(className:"Shops")
    let runkey = shopList.orderByAscending("shopName")

    runkey.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {(objects: [PFObject]?, error: NSError?) -> Void in

        if error == nil {
            if let objects = objects as [PFObject]! {
                for object in objects {
                    let loadTxt = object.objectForKey("shopName") as! String
                    let loadImg = object.objectForKey("shopImages") as! UIImage

                    self.imageArray.append(loadImg)
                    self.textArray.append(loadTxt)

                    print(self.textArray)

                }
            }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! TableViewCell

    cell.labelShopName?.text = textArray[indexPath.row]
    cell.shopImages?.image = imageArray[indexPath.row]

    return cell
}

A: I would need to know on which line the error occurred. My guess is that the data you are trying to pull = nil for some reason. To check if anything is being returned, comment out the line where the code is failing and do "print()". If nil is returned, you have to try something else because the image is not being downloaded.


We look to make Series A and Series B investments into companies, and so we find ourselves often asking the question: is this company ready to scale up?
Perhaps one of the most important things about the start-up and scale-up journey is having to "change gears" as one grows. Scale-up for a technology company typically mean achieving a non-linear type of growth, and leaders of the company to be effective will have to grow with the needs of the company. That's why courage in entrepreneurs is much valued, and why adaptability is high on the list of qualities we look for.
The start-up to success journey (typically ending with an IPO or a successful sale) is so non-linear it often requires big gear changes. To put it simply: you first focus on building a product (probably after identifying a need or a market gap somewhere) and iterating until you "get it right", then you focus on developing and growing the market for the product and services and finding the right strategies and the right team to help you get there. You go from a company with essentially a product team to one also with a sales team. Eventually, you would have to stitch other teams in between these two as well and keep upgrading them as well (one of the most useful books written about the entrepreneurial journey is The Second Bounce of the Ball), and when you continue to scale up your focus next changes to a different type of fire-fighting: managing the complexity of an organization where most people are no longer very entrepreneurial and don't know each other by first names, and you expend energies to stay ahead of the curve and compete with the new upstarts. We have found our thinking about the art and science of building a company with very fast growth ("scaling") to be quite aligned with this.
It is in this third phase that Clayton Christensen famously and eloquently wrote about: incumbents often miss the disruptive innovations despite having the best-trained managers equipped with the most technologically advanced resources and maintaining relationships with industry's most valuable customers, and even if they are well-run companies focused on innovations.
It is this second phase that VCs like us love – it is exciting but it is also very difficult – many small young companies do not succeed in scaling up, and sometimes even after a few tries or "pivots". There are of course many unknowns – it goes with the territory. But one of the most controllable parts to it is this: get yourself scale-up ready before you commit money and resources into scale-up. If not, you could easily spend a few millions and realize at the end of it that the product-market fit is still not there. Most importantly, you lose a lot of valuable time!


Mabel Lucie Attwell was one of the most successful female illustrators of the twentieth century, whose trademark chubby toddlers remain as popular now as they were 100 years ago. Although not well known as a poster artist, the success of her children's books, postcards and (later) annuals, made her an obvious choice for London Underground's emerging publicity campaign. Her immediately familiar style struck a reassuring note with passengers and, by implication, suggested that the new Tube railway was a safe and reliable system.
Trained at Heatherlys and Saint Martin's School of Art, Attwell's first commission for the Underground came in 1912. More followed in 1913, and it seems likely that she continued to work for the Underground after the First World War. A Pathe newsreel from about 1920, for example, shows Attwell sketching a new Tube poster, Christmas in Fairyland, in her garden using her three children as models. Sadly, no copy has survived in the London Transport Museum collection, although one exists in the Pushkin State Museum (Moscow). By this time Attwell was a best-selling publishing phenomenon. Her already extensive range of books and cards was expanded to include nursery ceramics, textiles, calendars, dolls and figurines – all eagerly collected today. But it was her immensely popular illustrations for children's classics such as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and the fairy tales of Hans Christian Anderson and the Brothers Grimm that bought her a devoted worldwide following.
Attwell continued to work into old age, assisted by her daughter Peggy who took on the management of Attwell's estate after her mother's death.
Examples of Attwell's rarely seen Underground posters are included in London Transport Museum's current Poster Girls show, together with vintage film footage of the artist at work. Behind the scenes tours of the main poster collection are available to book online.


Reason to celebrate: February 14, 2019 is National Valentine's Day.
Just what do flower shops, card shops and bistros share? They all adore Valentine's Day.
It's vague why the celebration of Saints Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terri has come to be associated with overpriced blooms; the very first link between Saint Valentine and enchanting love was made by Chaucer in the 14th Century. Just what's specific is that we cannot consider the word 'Valentine' without conjuring photos of red roses, large cards with hearts on and candlelit tables set for 2.
The concern of how and even whether to commemorate Valentine's Day can end up being vexed. For couples who are significantly in love, every day is Valentine's Day. Why sully something gorgeous by indulging in a day that, for many, has been polluted by business?
Great deals of folks do celebrate, nevertheless, and if you're among them, you'll need to schedule a table months, possibly years ahead of time. Here's to love!

Q: Automatic id generation Any one have idea how to generate id starting from 1 so that the next object has 2 and so on?
I have trying the following but dose not work:
class students{

    private int id;
    private String name;

    public student(String name){
        this.id=id++;
        this.name
    }
}

A: You need a static class member to keep track of the last-used index. Be sure to also implement a copy constructor:
class students
{
    private static int next_id = 0;   // <-- static, class-wide counter

    private int id;                   // <-- per-object ID

    private String name;

    public students(String name)
    {
        this.id = ++students.next_id;
        this.name = name;

        // ...
    }

    public students(students rhs)
    {
        this.id = ++students.next_id;
        this.name = rhs.name;

        // ...
    }

    public static void reset_counter(int n)  // use with care!
    {
        students.next_id = n;
    }

    // ...
}

Update: As @JordanWhite suggest, you might like to make the static counter atomic, which means that it will be safe to use concurrently (i.e. in multiple threads at once). To that end, change the type to:
private static AtomicInteger next_id = new AtomicInteger(0);

The increment-and-read operation and the reset operation become:
this.id = students.next_id.incrementAndGet();  // like "++next_id"

students.next_id.set(n);                       // like "next_id = n"

A: Beware, using a static variable to keep track of your counter works in a very limited circumstance. You can't run this code on more than one machine e.g. a web cluster if it's a web application. Also, the static variable is transient and will reset when you restart your application.

A common solution to generating a sequential id is to use a database. Most databases have a built-in way do this. For example, IDENTITY in SQL Server or AUTO_INCREMENT in MySQL.
Consider using a persistence framework like Hibernate and you can declare one of many proven strategies like identity, hilo or uuid some of which are sequential and some aren't. Some are generated by the application and some by the database but the trade-offs are well documented and you'll know what you're getting yourself into.

A: you should chanage private int id; to private static int id; and id++ to ++id.
you can try:
class Students{
    private static int id;
    private String name;
    public Students(String name){
    this.id=++id; // this.id +=1;may be better
    System.out.println(this.id);
    this.name = name;
   }
}

TestCode:
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Students s1 = new Students("Mark1");
    Students s2 = new Students("Mark2");
}

}

Tony Albert's VISIBLE at Queensland Art Gallery
Louise Martin-Chew June 7, 2018 Blog
ART GUIDE AUSTRALIA
Tony Albert: Visible
PREVIEW 31 May 2018
Tony Albert has been collecting Aboriginal kitsch objects, known as Aboriginalia, since he was a child. Living in the suburbs back then, he was excited to find "the faces of my uncles, aunties and grandparents" on plates, cups, ashtrays, and in cartoons. Later he would fully comprehend their racist undercurrents. Albert has mined these objects powerfully in his work, using them to highlight the absence of Aboriginal people in mainstream Australian narratives, and to cross-examine notions of difference. For his first institutional survey exhibition at Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art, at the age of 37, his private collection of these objects will combine in an installation.
These potent items have been a hallmark of Albert's right from the beginning of his artistic career, and will be arranged as wall works that read 'SORRY' and 'ASH on me.'
Albert will also display paintings of Aboriginals on velvet, their faces barely visible in the darkness of the exhibition space.
On these Albert has stenciled sentences such as "invisible is my favourite colour". In this survey exhibition, Albert (who has won prestigious prizes, public art commissions, and exhibited nationally and internationally), may be at his most visible to date.
The installation of Aboriginalia includes a vintage pinball machine that is every bit intended for public interaction and play. Curator Bruce Johnson-McLean said that while the audience will take the opportunity to "interact with the collection and have fun… the imagery sows a seed." He continues, "Tony uses humour and playfulness to engage people in often heavy historical ideas and discussions."

Albert began as a trainee at the Queensland Art Gallery 17 years ago. His success was propelled by membership of proppaNOW – a Brisbane-based art collective. And he is eager to reciprocate the favour. He told Art Guide Australia, "As a young artist I had five years with Richard Bell, who advocated for my work. Understanding that is part of the values I bring forward now – I take every opportunity to mentor others."

VCO vs. NCO: Which Synthesizer Should You Use?
This analog synthesizer contains multiple VCO and NCO circuits.
I still remember being 10 years old and receiving a synthesizer for Christmas. I had hours of fun playing with the different settings and trying to understand how turning a simple knob would produce such a broad range of sounds. Little did I know, some fundamental oscillator circuits were responsible for this tone generation, and these frequency synthesis methods have found a home in communications systems, modulators, mixers, and other important applications.
Choosing between a VCO vs. NCO depends on what type of oscillation you are trying to achieve and what you are using as the input. In either case, the goal is to create a highly stable waveform for use in a variety of analog applications.
What is the Difference Between a VCO vs. NCO?
In the simplest sense, both types of circuits are analog and digital versions of the same device. A VCO is an analog frequency generator, where the output frequency can be adjusted by choosing values of passives in a circuit. VCOs can be constructed from op-amps, varactor diodes, transistors, or as a simple LC oscillator. VCOs can output a square wave, sine wave, sawtooth wave, or other waveform after some signal conditioning. The output frequency is proportional frequency to the DC magnitude at the input. An NCO produces a highly stable discretized oscillation from a noisy input oscillation. This is quite important in applications requiring stable oscillations during their signal processing.
Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
A simple implementation of a VCO is to use a pair of op-amps with an RC circuit, where a varactor diode is used instead of a standard fixed capacitor. In a varactor diode, the capacitance is a function of the voltage drop across the diode. This is what allows the output frequency to be varied as a function of the input voltage. An example is shown in the circuit below, where two op-amps are used with a MOSFET. In this circuit, the output from the first op-amp switches between a positive and negative voltage whenever the MOSFET switches. The rate at which the MOSFET switches depends on the rate at which the varactor diode capacitance charges or discharges.
Example VCO circuit with two op-amps
Here, you can access two possible outputs; a triangular wave (Output 1) and a square wave (Output 2). In this circuit, the second op-amp functions as a Schmitt trigger, and it converts the triangle wave to a square wave. The hysteresis (duty cycle) in the Schmitt trigger is chosen by selecting appropriate values for R6 and R7. Note that a VCO can also be implemented as a Colpitts or Clapp oscillator, or as an LC oscillator in the above circuit, which will produce a sinusoidal output.
Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO)
An NCO is a digital frequency generator that can be used to clean up a noisy input oscillator signal. A microcontroller or FPGA is used to measure the speed of the rising edge of a clock pulse and determine the input frequency. This is then matched to a reference frequency value using a lookup table, and discrete values of the corresponding sine wave. The output is a discretized sine wave, which can then be run through a DAC to generate a very accurate clock frequency. The device can effectively take a noisy sinusoidal signal from a low-quality oscillator and produce a clean version of the oscillating signal at the intended frequency.
When the output digital signal is sent to the DAC, truncation causes spurious sideband frequencies to be seen around the desired output signal in a power spectrum. This is shown in the figure below. This is due to leveling off in the output when the temporal resolution in the digitized signal is too low. The same applies when the vertical (signal level quantization) resolution is too low. You can smooth out the signal with a very narrow (higher order) bandpass filter with center frequency equal to the desired output frequency.
Spurious sideband generation in the output from an NCO due to truncation and quantization.
Note that some NCO ICs will produce a triangular wave as well as a sinusoidal wave; the triangular wave can then be converted to a square wave with a Schmitt trigger. The RMS jitter provided by an NCO circuit can reach below 1 ps, making the output from these circuits an extremely stable reference sinusoid. This output can then be used in applications such as modulation/demodulation, digital PLLs, clock recovery, precision mixers, and any application that requires extremely precise time measurements. A great example is in time-to-digital conversion in LiDAR systems, where a small level of jitter will translate to a huge error in a rangefinding measurement.
Voltage-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (VCXO)
A related circuit is a VCXO, which is used for frequency pulling. In other words, this is used to correct the frequency of a clock signal that is output from a piezoelectric crystal. Typically, the output frequency can be tuned by ~100 ppm over a wide range of input voltage values. This type of tuning is required when a crystal is being used as a stable reference oscillator that must match a specific frequency very precisely. This is also important when a crystal oscillator is used as a system clock for clock synchronization of other oscillator circuits (i.e., in a PLL).
Modeling VCO and NCO Circuits and Systems
There are some important analyses that you should perform when designing a VCO or NCO. As an NCO is defined in terms of software rather than hardware, the simulations involved require simulating the desired sinusoid in your particular application. This means you can simply generate the desired sinusoidal signal you want to use in your circuit and vary the circuit with parameter sweeps, Monte Carlo analysis, or temperature sweeps.
The primary concerns in VCO design are linearity. The frequency of the signal output from an ideal VCO is a linear function of the input voltage. You should check that the output frequency is indeed a linear function of the input voltage by running DC sweeps. Eventually, the op-amps, MOSFET, varactor diode, or other components in your VCO will saturate if the DC input is too high. This can cause the output frequency and amplitude to no longer be a linear function of the input voltage (see the graph below for an example).
Example linear range for the output from a VCO
A VCO could have some level of harmonic distortion in the output if used to produce a sinusoidal signal, and you should check the output from the VCO using an FFT or by looking at the power spectrum. Harmonic distortion is manifested in the frequency domain as harmonic generation, where integer multiples of the desired output frequency are generated by the nonlinear components in the VCO.
When you're working with ultra-precise timing and synthesis applications requiring a VCO vs. NCO, you can simulate each type of circuit and your entire system when you work with the right PCB design and analysis software. The simulation tools in PSpice Simulator for OrCAD and the full suite of analysis tools from Cadence are ideal for analyzing the behavior of your VCO or NCO circuit. You'll also have access to manufacturer part search tools as you prepare to source components for your system if you want to build these circuits in your PCB layout from discrete components.
If you're looking to learn more about how Cadence has the solution for you, talk to us and our team of experts.

Описание презентации AIRCRAFT ENGINES 1 The term aircraft engine по слайдам
The term aircraft engine refers to reciprocating and rotary internal combustion engines used in aircraft. Jet engines and turboprops are the other common aviation power plants; while operation differs substantially, the basics here apply to all types.
Internal combustion piston engine Components of a typical, four stroke cycle, internal combustion piston engine. E — Exhaust camshaft I — Intake camshaft S — Spark plug V — Valves P — Piston R — Connecting rod C — Crankshaft W — Water jacket for coolant flow. Camshaft — стержень ( меняющий направление движения механизма ) Spark plug — свеча зажигания Rod — штифт Crankshaft – коленчатый вал
Jet enjines A jet engine is an engine that discharges a fast moving jet of fluid to generate thrust in accordance with Newton's third law of motion.
Jet enjines This broad definition of jet engines includes turbojets, turbofans, rockets, ramjets, pulse jets pump-jets,
Jet enjines In common usage, the term generally refers to a gas turbine Brayton cycle engine, an engine with a rotary compressor powered by a turbine, with the leftover power providing thrust.
The first look Basically, a gas turbine engine consists of five major sections: an inlet duct , a compressor , a combustion chamber (or chambers), a turbine wheel (or wheels), an exhaust duct.
A turbine engine scheme. Compressor. Shaft Burner Fuel inlet Exhaust nozzle Air inlet T u rb in e
Cold Section:
Air intake Preceding the compressor is the air intake (or inlet), which is designed to recover, as efficiently as possible, the ram pressure of the streamtube approaching the intake. Downstream of the intake, air enters the compressor.
Compressor or Fan The compressor is made up of stages. Each stage consists of vanes which rotate, and stators which remain stationary. As air is drawn deeper through the compressor, its heat and pressure increases. Energy is derived from the turbine (see below), passed along the shaft. Vane — лопатка
Comressor The compressor, which rotates at very high speed, adds energy to the airflow, at the same time squeezing it into a smaller space, thereby increasing its pressure and temperature.
Common: Shaft — The shaft connects the turbine to the compressor, and runs most of the length of the engine.
Hot section:
Combustor or Can or Flameholders or Combustion Chamber — This is a chamber where fuel is continuously burned in the compressed air.
Combustion chamber A combustion chamber is the part of an engine in which fuel is burned.
A ring of can type combustors circles the mid section of this gas turbine.
Turbine A turbine is a rotary engine that extracts energy from a fluid flow
A Pelton wheel also called a Pelton turbine, is one of the most efficient types of water turbines.
Turbine A gas turbine extracts energy from a flow of hot gas produced by combustion of gas or fuel oil in a stream of compressed air.
An afterburner is an additional component added to some jet engines, primarily those on supersonic aircraft. Its purpose is to provide a temporary increase in thrust, both for supersonic flight and for takeoff
A nozle is a mechanical device or orifice designed to control the characteristics of a fluid flow as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe.
A nozle is often a pipe or tube of varying cross sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas). Nozzles are frequently used to control the rate of flow, speed, direction, mass, shape, and/or the pressure of the stream that emerges from them.

In addition to the five major sections each gas turbine engine is equipped with an accessory section, a fuel system, a starting system, a cooling system, a lubrication system, an ignition system.
Cooling systems Combustion temperatures can be as high as 3500 K (5841 F), above the melting point of most materials. Cooling systems are employed to keep the temperature of the solid parts below the failure temperature.
Fuel system Apart from providing fuel to the engine, the fuel system is also used to control propeller speeds, compressor airflow and cool lubrication oil. Fuel is usually introduced by an atomized spray, the amount of which is controlled automatically depending on the rate of airflow.
Engine starting system The fuel system as explained above, is one of the 2 systems required for starting the engine. The other is the actual ignition of the air/fuel mixture in the chamber. Usually, an auxiliary power unit is used to start the engines. It has a starter motor which has a high torque transmitted to the compressor unit. When the optimum speed is reached, i. e. the flow of gas through the turbine is sufficient, the turbines take over. There a number of different starting methods such as electric, hydraulic, pneumatic etc.
Ignition system Usually there are 2 igniter plugs in different positions in the combustion system. A high voltage spark is used to ignite the gases.
Lubrication system A lubrication system serves to ensure lubrication of the bearings and to maintain sufficiently cool temperatures, mostly by eliminating friction. The lubrication system as a whole should be able to prevent foreign material from entering the plane, and reaching the bearings, gears, and other moving parts. The lubricant must be able to flow easily at relatively low temperatures and not disintegrate or break down at very high temperatures. Bearings – подшипники Gear – зубчатая передача
Gas turbine engines' classification. Jet Engines The three most common types of jet engines are turbojet, turboprop , turbofan.
Turbojet engine Air entering a turbojet engine is compressed and passed into a combustion chamber to be oxidized. Energy produced by the burning fuel spins the turbine that drives the compressor, creating an effective power cycle.
Turboprop engines Turboprop engines are driven almost entirely by a propeller mounted in front of the engine, deriving only 10 percent of their thrust from the exhaust jet.
Turbofan engines Turbofans combine the hot air jet with bypassed air from a fan, also driven by the turbine. The use of bypass air creates a quieter engine with greater boost at low speeds, making it a popular choice for commercial airplanes.
Turbofan Engine
Turbofan Engine This Rolls-Royce Tay turbofan engine pushes nearly three times as much air through the bypass ducts as it pushes through the central core of the engine, where the air is compressed, mixed with fuel, and ignited. Turbofan engines like the Rolls-Royce Tay are not as powerful as turbojets, but they are quieter and more efficient.

Engine design Engines must be: lightweight, as a heavy engine increases the empty weight of the aircraft & reduces its payload.
Engine design Engines must be: small and easily streamlined; large engines with substantial surface area, when installed, create too much drag, wasting fuel and reducing power output.
Engine design Engines must be: powerful, to overcome the weight and drag of the aircraft.
Engine design Engines must be: reliable, as losing power in an airplane is a substantially greater problem than an automobile engine seizing. Aircraft engines operate at temperature, pressure, and speed extremes, and therefore need to operate reliably and safely under all these conditions.
Engine design Engines must be: repairable, to keep the cost of replacement down.
Aircraft noise is defined as sound produced by any aircraft on run-up, taxiing, take off, over-flying or landing. Aircraft noise is a significant concern for approximately 100 square kilometers surrounding most major airports. Aircraft noise is the second largest (after roadway noise) source of environmental noise. It is usually measured in Decibels.
Aircraft noise Take-off of aircraft may lead to a sound level of more than 100 decibels at the ground, with approach and landing creating lower levels.
The W 2/700 engine flew in the Gloster E. 28/39, the first British aircraft to fly with a turbojet engine, and the Gloster Meteor.
The Gloster E. 28/39 (also referred to as the «Gloster Whittle», «Gloster Pioneer», or «Gloster G. 40») was the first jet engined aircraft to fly in the United Kingdom

A pulse jet engine (or pulsejet) is a very simple type of jet engine in which combustion occurs in pulses.


The DEA310 batch-deaerator can be applied as a standalone system or prior to the heat treatment of your product. The benefits of deaeration include reduced oxidation and improved product shelf life. As such, a deaerator system can serve as an essential part of your process, optimizing product conditions by removing dissolved air and gas.
OMVE's DEA310 comes with the option of three different deaeration methods: static disc, rotary disc or spray nozzle. The choice of either single or multiple passes allows you to achieve a concentration level of 0.5ppm or less. The aroma in the vapors is regained by the aroma regenerator/condenser, preventing unwanted increases in concentration or potential loss of aroma.
The tanks are available with a capacity of either 10L, 20L or 50L.

Thank you! (windows 7, 64 bit)


Robert Eady is a novelist, an unconventional one who takes writing breaks from real life and his responsibilities, leaving his wife, Leah, to pay the bills and take care of the kids. The marriage is faltering, but Leah is used to Robert's disappearances—he's an artist, after all—so she doesn't think much of it when he doesn't come back from a run one day, even though he didn't leave a note like he usually does.
Until the disappearance stretches out into weeks without a single word or trace of Robert. The police think he's dead. Then Leah finds six letters on a scrap of paper hidden inside a cereal box and realizes Robert had bought tickets for all of them to visit Paris—the city he and Leah had talked about since the day they met.
Leah and the girls head to Paris in search of Robert and end up co-owners of an English-language bookstore. The girls claim they see Robert everywhere, but Leah thinks he's gone…until she finds one of his books in the store window, I'm sorry scrawled inside. Is Robert dead? Are the girls really seeing him? Leah struggles to untangle the truth as she builds a life in Paris.
This book sounded like it would be a great read. The execution, however…this was very slow-paced. Very. I found Robert completely selfish and unlikeable, to the point of active dislike. Leah is in denial about everything for most of the book. (Actually, make that "all" the book.) I finished this, but the disconnect from Leah and my dislike of Robert made this merely a so-so read.

The biggest benefit of online learning is that you can work to earn your degree from your own home while raising a family, working full-time or experiencing particular life circumstances that make commuting to campus difficult or impossible. Online learning also gives you an opportunity to interact with a diverse group of students from different regions and backgrounds.
At UofL you are taught by the same world-class faculty as our on-campus students. You read the same books, do many of the same assignments and earn the same degree. Neither your transcript nor your diploma notes your degree was completed online, only that you completed courses at the University of Louisville. The biggest difference is that you are able to do coursework on your own time and in a way that best fits your learning and lifestyle. Please note, however, that not all on-campus courses are available online.
I noticed that the Department of Women's and Gender Studies offers both a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Women's and Gender Studies. Can the Bachelor of Science in Women's and Gender Studies also be completed fully online?
No, at this time only the Bachelor of Arts in Women's and Gender Studies will be offered fully online. The research methods course required for the Bachelor of Science is not currently taught online, but we hope to be able to offer it in the future.
Yes. All the courses you need to complete a full, four-year degree are available online.
Yes, at UofL you are taught by the same world-class faculty as our on-campus students. You read the same books, do many of the same assignments and earn the same degree. The biggest difference is that you are able to do it in a way that best fits your lifestyle.
