I don't think you can justify 3betting to iso vs 60% open with such a weak hand. Taking this mw is a nightmare.
May 9, 2017 | 12:04 a.m.
Why 3b a non nutted hand with 2 gaps? We narrow opponents range by 3betting, the value of our suit goes down and when blinds 4b we're hating life.

river isn't that good a spot to bluff, A92r flop means we're not going to have many QJ combos. We potentially have showdown, i'd take it.
Comment | P0tlimitlife commented on Awkward hand PLO10, feel like i could have done a better decision on every street, thoughts?
So we are getting 2:1 on a call, 33% required to stack off. If our outs are clean we have approximately 15 improve, or 30%. He can of course have a wrap like JQKx etc which we're ahead of. We're still behind AAxx. As played I think the stack off is near enough fine. But I don't think thats the best play.
April 8, 2017 | 12:33 p.m.
We have nut Ax, not folding especially when both the FD's miss.
April 8, 2017 | 12:53 a.m.
PPT rankings are based on AI equity, hand v hand. Not the best for postflop play. Our FD's are weak, draws can be easily nutted. Not as highly ranked as it suggests.
April 8, 2017 | 12:48 a.m.
Bet/calling at this SPR, betting pot'ish. 3b range of co really shouldn't have sets here. We can get villain off large equity share of the pot, e.g. 7xxx, a 9 should probably fold without a redraw too.

As played I call flop. 4betting pre 100% however.

It is still a definite mistake to fold preflop here vs a 4bet, especially being IP and deeper.
Jan. 23, 2017 | 6:02 p.m.
preflop the range you are assigning him is far too tight, OP said he is raising 36%, you are listing something around the top 10% of hands.
The 3b is viable IP against someone opening relatively wide OOP.
When 4b it is a worse mistake with this hand being this deep to fold pre than to peel and see a flop. Our hand plays very well postflop and is much better than a hand like QQT9ss for example.
Jan. 23, 2017 | 1:37 p.m.
I think you played it well, I think you can raise flop too. Either or is good enough imo. I don't think there is much distinction between both at our stakes, maybe if 4bet range was wider pre than the usual then raise > call.

open, 3b, cold 4b. I smell AAxx, against sb I fold. In terms of a 3 way all in, this is our equity: you can do the math, I would suggest fold considering CO is a short stack.

Not against flop fold, tough to play OOP, half our outs bring a flush in too so not exactly clean. We can of course be ahead a lot of the time, I am not against calling one as we don't want to be over exploited.

Comment | P0tlimitlife commented on PLO5 Does he have it?
Leading flop in to 4 players, lot of vulnerable turns for our hand where villain can play turn perfectly and we are at a disadvantage on many rivers being oop. For example, any T-K bring a FD will likely give villain 33% to our range when we bet turn and get called and they're not making any equity mistake then. We're also not sure where we stand as possible straights etc etc.
Jan. 22, 2017 | 5:15 p.m.
In terms of analyzing the hand, we can make assumptions about how wide the button would flat against a cut off open. Then apply that along with the flop raise and see how it pans out from there.
We will get folds when betting here too sometimes so betting isn't necessarily the incorrect play.
70/30, so if we go with your bet sizing, in order to stack off we need ~35% equity, we actually have 30% if you agree with that range so it should be a bet/fold.
Jan. 22, 2017 | 5:09 p.m.
I am not squeezing these aces pre, we are not suited and will not play very easily oop against 2 players. Very unlikely we get a hu pot so there are going to be a lot of flops we have to check. SPR of 3 on the flop is still a little high to bet gii in to 3 players.
This hand will play really well in a mw pot, we allow bb to come in with garbage pairs your squeeze will fold out and we loose value post flop there.
Flat pre, x/evaluate most flops. Possibly lead if favorable.
In terms of the stats you are using I don't think they're relevant enough in terms of the way you're looking at them or the sample size. Yes, we have a rough idea BTN is loose pre however, 120 hands is not enough to understand his postflop game solely by looking at your HUD. Play often changes considerably multi-way compared to heads-up with players usually playing tighter and I imagine the stats you're looking at are not for 3b pots.
Our situation is a 3b pot, multi-way, oop. Looking at stats to evaluate this situation would require a hell of a lot of info that we don't have.
In this spot I think I bet call against one opponent and fold against 2. Not against checking this though. Both options are viable in my mind.
Jan. 22, 2017 | 4:56 p.m.
I don't think your thinking is far off, its a guessing game at the end of the day. Turn is a good fold, if he is leading pair and gutter they get there a lot on this.
Jan. 22, 2017 | 4:45 p.m.
hand 3 is a semi-bluff, we have K high. If you can win a pot with K high that can't be a bad thing and if we get better to fold thats huge.
Jan. 22, 2017 | 4:42 p.m.

Can I just ask how the pot on the flop is $1.70 and the BB is overbetting flop?
Jan. 6, 2017 | 3:53 p.m.
Comment | P0tlimitlife commented on 4th nuts vs 3 barrel, possible turn semi bluff ?
I think I would sigh call. We block top set which is slightly annoying in this spot I think, being more advantageous for him to be more likely holding KdK with the blocker, or AdKK, of course there are a lot of combos of them hands with 2 diamonds in but we have two. Its a close spot, I think I call and make a note of his line for sure.
I think if you are seeing KdXd and AdXd at showdown, then you can potentially read in to his flop sizing and exploit. Just under 1/2 pot on a board where so many turns will change the nuts just seems very poor sizing.

If you are experiencing problems scrobbling to last.fm there is little point in posting to the MusicBee forum and expecting help.
Its entirely up to last.fm whether it accepts a scobble or not. MusicBee simply reflects any error returned by last.fm. If there is an error where the last.fm guidance says to retry then MusicBee will defer and retry to scrobble on the next restart.
The status of whether a track is scrobbled or defered with any error code returned by last.fm is logged in Help/ Support/ View Scrobble Log. If its error code 16, a number of users have reported that the track will be scrobbled twice. However the last.fm guidance states the track should be rescrobbled so i wont change that.
I believe the reason some other applications work when MusicBee doesnt is because they are using the old version of the API. It can also be the case sometimes where MusicBee is sucessful and other applications are not so it works both ways.
around Sep/Oct 2017 last.fm plan to stop support for an old version of the last.fm scrobbling API. That means that anyone using versions before MusicBee v2.3 will need to upgrade to a more recent MusicBee version which is available from the downloads page.

"I thought it was gone" Cyclist gears up for 2500 mile charity race despite horrible training injury
Matthew Nixon
JOhn Bakewell from Hethersett will be cycling 2,500 miles from Belgium to Turkey over 2 weeks for chairty.
Archant Norfolk Photographic © 2015
A Norfolk cyclist is refusing to give up on his ambition to complete one of the world's toughest ultra-endurance races despite suffering a bad injury which halted his training.

On July 27 John Bakewell, an emergency medical practitioner and under ten's football coach, will set off on an epic 2,500 mile journey across Europe from Bulgaria to France called the Transcontinental Race.
But despite the fact he has climbed mountains, run marathons, and previously cycled over 1,300 miles in a week, preparing for the event has not been easy as in February the keen cyclist suffered a broken wrist after skidding on a patch of oil in Hethersett.
"Initially I was distraught, I thought it was gone, but thankfully the body heals," he said.

"It wasn't ideal, I was cycling home from a 50 mile training ride after work and I came around the corner and it was wet. The road is frequented by a lot of lorries and it must have been a bit of diesel. My front wheel went out from under me like ice."
With just months to go before Mr Bakewell would have to cycle an average 180 miles a day everyday for 16 days, he was made to stay off of his bike for eight weeks.

"It was a question of whether I'd be fit enough to do it and the surgeon said I wouldn't. I decided that I would and I'll be telling him that when I see him next Monday," he added.
Mr Bakewell, 54, from Hethersett, has attempted the Transcontinental Race twice in 2014 and 2015, but couldn't complete it for various reasons. On his most recent attempt, the father-of-four made it 1,650 miles before his right knee "had enough".
Previously Mr Bakewell journeyed from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise money for the Samaritans. This year he is fundraising to try and get a defibrillator in the Hethersett sports field, as well as to donate funds to the charity Breast Cancer Care, and he feels much better about his odds.
"Really for me it's about adventure and the bike is a vehicle. A really good friend is coming to the end of chemotherapy and radiotherapy so I'm doing it for them."
Mr Bakewell's progress can be tracked on Twitter at @johnnymbakewell and during the journey at www.transcontinentalrace.com under the race number 52,

[PROBLEMS] To prevent an increase in server temperature by preventing a delay in cooling even when a server rapidly generates a large amount of heat, thereby preventing an abnormal operation of the server. Even if it is possible to prevent the rise in energy consumption, energy loss due to rapid cooling is reduced.
A temperature sensor 150 measures the temperature of each part of a server 110 and a rack 111, and a temperature state determination unit determines a temperature state of the rack 111 from the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150. The current sensor 170 measures the power consumption of the server 110, and the temperature prediction unit predicts a temperature change due to the power from the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 and the power measured by the current sensor 170. The fan control means controls the fan or louver based on information from the temperature state determination means and the temperature sensor 150.
[Selection] Figure 1
The present invention relates to a cooling system and a cooling control program, and in particular, a fan for sending air from under the floor to the front of a rack for storing a server and the like, and a louver for controlling the air direction and air volume of the air. The present invention relates to a cooling system provided and a cooling control program for controlling a fan and a louver.
Conventionally, there is a cooling system for efficiently cooling a server or the like. The conventional cooling system monitors the temperature of the server, and when the monitored temperature reaches a certain level or higher, it adjusts the louver provided on the front floor of the rack in which the server is stored to adjust the wind direction. There has been proposed an apparatus that cools by efficiently sending a cooled air to a rack in which a high-temperature server is stored by changing the temperature (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-151369
However, if the temperature is monitored and controlled, the control starts after the temperature rises above a certain level. As a result, there is a problem that when the server rapidly generates a large amount of heat, the cooling is not in time, and the server temperature rises, thereby causing an abnormal operation of the server. That is, there is a problem that the reliability of the server operation may be impaired.
Or, even if the server temperature can be prevented from rising, and even if the server does not malfunction, the operating system and the environmental load increase due to energy loss due to sudden operation of the cooling system for rapid cooling. There is.
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and even when the server rapidly generates a large amount of heat, the server temperature is prevented from rising by preventing a delay in cooling, and thus the server. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooling system that can prevent the occurrence of abnormal operation and reduce energy loss due to rapid cooling even if the rise in server temperature can be suppressed.
In order to solve the above problem, the present invention includes a fan for sending air from below the floor to the front of a rack for storing a server and the like, and a louver for controlling the air direction and air volume of the air. In the cooling system, the server, temperature measuring means for measuring the temperature of each part of the rack, temperature state determining means for determining the temperature state of the rack from the temperature measured by the temperature measuring means, A power measuring means for measuring power consumption; a temperature predicting means for predicting a temperature change due to the power from the temperature measured by the temperature measuring means; and the power measured by the power measuring means; and the temperature state determining means; And a fan control means for controlling the fan or the louver based on information from the temperature measuring means. System is provided.
As a result, the temperature measuring means measures the temperature of each part of the server and the rack, and the temperature state determining means determines the temperature state of the rack from the temperature measured by the temperature measuring means. The power measuring unit measures the power consumption of the server, and the temperature predicting unit predicts a temperature change due to the power from the temperature measured by the temperature measuring unit and the power measured by the power measuring unit. The fan control unit controls the fan or the louver based on information from the temperature state determination unit and the temperature measurement unit.
Further, in the present invention, in a cooling control program for controlling a fan for sending air from below the floor to the front of a rack storing a server or the like and a louver for controlling the air direction and the air volume of the air, A computer, a temperature measuring means for measuring the temperature of each part of the rack, the temperature state determining means for determining the temperature state of the rack from the temperature measured by the temperature measuring means, and the power consumption of the server Power measuring means for measuring, temperature predicting means for predicting a temperature change due to the power from the temperature measured by the temperature measuring means and the power measured by the power measuring means, the temperature state determining means, and the temperature measuring means And function as fan control means for controlling the fan or the louver based on information from That cooling control program is provided.
According to the cooling system and the cooling control program of the present invention, the temperature predicting means predicts a temperature change due to the power from the temperature measured by the temperature measuring means and the power measured by the power measuring means. Even if the server is generating a large amount of heat rapidly, it can prevent the delay in cooling and prevent the server temperature from rising even if the change is predicted and the cooling operation can be performed early. As a result, it is possible to prevent an abnormal operation of the server, and even to suppress an increase in the server temperature, it is possible to reduce energy loss due to rapid cooling.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example applied to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, a configuration example in which the cooling system 100 of the present embodiment is applied to a server room 10 is shown. The server room 10 is provided with a plurality of racks 111 in which a plurality of servers 110 are stored in a plurality of stages in the vertical direction. On the front side of the rack 111, a blow-out port 130 through which air blows from under the floor 120 is provided.
The front and rear surfaces of the rack 111 are formed of punched plates, and the air blown from the air outlets 130 is sucked from the front side of the rack 111 to cool the server 110 stored in the rack 111 and thereby back the rack 111. Exhaust from the side.
If the amount of heat generated due to the large number of servers 110 is large and the cooling capacity is insufficient by simply applying air, the air conditioner 140 can cool the air under the floor.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the rack and outlet according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 2, a temperature sensor 150 is attached to the rack 111. One sensor 150 is attached to each of the upper, middle, and lower tiers of the front side and the rear side of the rack 111, one to each of the front side and the rear side of the top plate, and the lower floor 121.
The air outlet 130 is provided with a louver 160 that moves electrically. By adjusting the angle of the wings 161 constituting the louver 160, the flow and air volume of air blown out from the floor 121 by the fan are adjusted.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the cooling system according to the present embodiment.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, the wind direction prediction control determination unit 180 acquires the temperatures measured by the temperature sensors 150 provided at various locations of the rack 111 and determines whether cooling is normal.
A current sensor (CT) 170 measures the power consumption of each server 110. The temperature prediction learning unit 190 stores the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 in association with the power consumption acquired from the current sensor 170. The temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 (for example, temperature 1) and the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 (for example, temperature 2) after a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes) from when the louver control state (opening / closing) is performed. The change values of temperature 1 and temperature 2 calculated from the above are stored as temperature change information.
By updating this temperature change information for each rack 111, it becomes possible to predict a temperature change with respect to the rack 111 more accurately. That is, the temperature change varies greatly because the position in the server room 10 for each rack 111 and the number and applications of the servers 110 stored in the rack 111 are different. Therefore, the temperature change can be accurately predicted by storing the temperature change information for each rack 111.
The temperature leveling unit 200 performs leveling processing for leveling the temperature in each area set in the server room 10.
Louver / fan control unit 210 controls the operation of air conditioners (air conditioners, rack fans, louvers, underfloor fans, etc.) 220 based on leveling control information received from temperature leveling unit 200.
The following processing is performed by the cooling system 100 having the above functions.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a procedure of cooling control processing by the cooling system. In the following, the process illustrated in FIG. 4 will be described in order of step number.
[Step S11] The cooling system 100 starts a cooling control process every predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes), and first performs an F parameter acquisition process based on a temperature distribution. In this F parameter acquisition process, the temperature is acquired from the temperature sensor 150 installed in each part of the rack 111, and it is determined whether or not the cooling for the server 110 is appropriate. The F parameter acquisition process will be described later.
[Step S12] The cooling system 100 performs M parameter acquisition processing based on the temperature index. In this M parameter acquisition process, when the server room 10 is divided into several areas, it is determined whether or not the temperature for each area is within a certain range. That is, when there is an excessively cool part, the supply of air to the part is reduced or stopped, and the surplus cooling capacity that can be supplied can be distributed to the warm part. The M parameter acquisition process will be described later.
[Step S13] The cooling system 100 performs a P parameter acquisition process. This P parameter acquisition process is based on the idea that if the predicted temperature after n minutes due to power consumption is above a certain level, the current temperature is not so high, but the cooling of that part is emphasized. It is determined whether or not the above control is necessary. The P parameter acquisition process will be described later.
[Step S14] The parameter acquired by each parameter acquisition process is multiplied by a certain weighting factor (α, β, γ) to determine whether or not the value is larger than a preset value J. If it is determined that the value is larger, the process proceeds to step S15. If it is determined that the value is J or less, the process proceeds to step S16.
[Step S15] The cooling system 100 performs control to open the louver 160.
[Step S16] The cooling system 100 performs control to close the louver 160.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a procedure of F parameter acquisition processing by the cooling system. Hereinafter, the process illustrated in FIG. 5 will be described in order of step number.
[Step S <b> 21] The cooling system 100 acquires temperature information from each part of the rack 111 and the temperature sensor 150 provided under the floor 121.
[Step S22] It is determined whether or not ΔThc is less than 6. ΔThc is the temperature at which the temperature sensor 150 provided on the hot aisle side (the back side of the rack 111) of the rack 111 is provided on the cold aisle side (the front side of the rack 111) of the rack 111. This is the value when the sensor 150 subtracts the temperature. When ΔThc is less than 6, the process proceeds to step S23, and when ΔThc is 6 or more, the process proceeds to step S32.
[Step S23] It is determined whether or not ΣΔT is less than 45. ΣΔT is a total of six temperature sensors 150 provided on each side of the cold aisle side and the hot aisle side, and two temperature sensors 150 provided on the cold aisle side and the hot aisle side of the top plate. This is a value obtained by subtracting a value eight times the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 provided under the floor 121 from the total temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150. When it is determined that ΣΔT is less than 45, the process proceeds to step S24, and when it is determined that ΣΔT is 45 or more, the process proceeds to step S28.
[Step S24] The value of ΔThc is small, that is, the temperature difference between the hot aisle side and the cold aisle side is small, and the value of ΣΔT is small, that is, the hot aisle side and the cold aisle side are not so different from the temperature of the underfloor 121 When it is, it is judged that it is too cold.
[Step S25] It is determined whether or not the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 provided at the upper part on the cold aisle side is higher than TH. If higher than TH, the process proceeds to step S26, and if lower than TH, the process proceeds to step S27. TH is a temperature control upper limit temperature, and is a temperature that must be cooled if the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 provided on the upper side of the cold aisle is higher than TH.
[Step S26] The F parameter is set to 1 so that it can be easily determined that the louver 160 is opened (see step S14 in FIG. 4). This is determined to be too cold in step S24, but since the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 provided on the cold aisle side is higher than TH, it is easier to determine that the louver 160 is opened for safety. Set the F parameter to.
[Step S27] The F parameter is set to 0 so that it can be easily determined that the louver 160 is closed (see step S14 in FIG. 4). In the case of excessive cooling, the operating cost and environmental load will only increase even if the cooling is further performed, so in principle, the F parameter is set so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is closed.
[Step S28] When ΔThc is small, that is, the temperature difference between the hot aisle side and the cold aisle side is small, but the value of ΣΔT is large, that is, when the hot aisle side or the cold aisle side is different from the temperature of the underfloor 121 Is judged to be a state of heat accumulation.
A hot pool is a state where the air blowout on the cold aisle side is weak and the hot air circulates from the hot aisle side to the cold aisle side, causing the hot air to accumulate, or another cold aisle side air blowout. It is strong and shows that the hot air on the cold aisle has circulated around the hot aisle and the hot air has accumulated.
[Step S29] It is determined whether or not the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 provided at the upper part on the cold aisle side is lower than TL. If it is lower than TL, the process proceeds to step S30. If it is greater than TL, the process proceeds to step S31. TL is a temperature control lower limit temperature, and is a temperature at which it is determined that further cooling is not necessary if the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 provided on the upper side of the cold aisle is lower than TL.
[Step S30] The F parameter is set to 0 so that it can be easily determined that the louver 160 is closed (see step S14 in FIG. 4). This is determined to be a heat accumulation state in step S28, but since the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 provided in the upper part on the cold aisle side is lower than TL, the F parameter is set so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is closed. Set.
[Step S31] The F parameter is set to 1 so that it can be easily determined that the louver 160 is opened (see step S14 in FIG. 4). In the case of the heat accumulation state, in order to return the heat accumulation at the upper part of the cold aisle to the hot aisle side, the F parameter is set so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is opened in principle.
[Step S32] It is determined whether or not ΣΔT is greater than 45. If it is determined that ΣΔT is greater than 45, the process proceeds to step S33. If it is determined that ΣΔT is less than 45, the process proceeds to step S35.
[Step S33] When the ΔThc value is large, that is, the temperature difference between the hot aisle side and the cold aisle side is large, and the value of ΣΔT is large, that is, when the hot aisle side or the cold aisle side is different from the temperature of the underfloor 121 Is in a heat accumulation state, or it is determined that the cooling capacity is insufficient with respect to the amount of heat generated by the server 110 in the first place.
[Step S34] The F parameter is set to 1 so that it can be easily determined that the louver 160 is opened (see step S14 in FIG. 4). As in principle, the F parameter is set so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is opened when it is determined that the cooling capacity is insufficient as in the case of the heat accumulation state.
[Step S35] The value of ΔThc is large, that is, the temperature difference between the hot aisle side and the cold aisle side is large, and the value of ΣΔT is small, that is, the hot aisle side and the cold aisle side are not so different from the temperature of the underfloor 121. In this case, it is determined that the cooling state is ideal.
[Step S36] The F parameter is set to 0 so that it can be easily determined that the louver 160 is closed (see step S14 in FIG. 4).
In the F parameter acquisition process described above, determination is made based on whether the value of ΔThc is less than 6 and whether the value of ΣΔT is less than 45. Each value is set in the server room 10 or installed. It is set to an appropriate value depending on the characteristics of the server 110 or the like.
Next, a specific example of the F parameter acquisition process described above will be described in detail.
FIG. 6 is a table showing the relationship between the value of the temperature sensor attached to the rack and the state determination.
The cold side, the rack top panel, and the hot side shown in FIG. 6 indicate locations where the temperature sensor 150 is attached, and more detailed positions are shown on the right side of each column.
The specific numerical value starting from the right column is a value obtained by subtracting the value measured by the temperature sensor 150 installed under the floor 121 from the value measured by each temperature sensor 150.
Below the value of each temperature sensor 150, the values of ΔThc and ΣΔT calculated using the measured value of the temperature sensor 150 are shown.
FIG. 7 is a table showing the relationship between the values of ΔThc and ΣΔT, the determined cooling state, and louver control.
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 5, when ΔThc is small and ΣΔT is small, it is determined that the cooling is excessive, and when the value T of the temperature sensor 150 on the cold aisle upper side is equal to or higher than TH, the louver 160 is opened. The F parameter is set so that it can be easily judged. When T is smaller than TH, the F parameter is set so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is closed.
When ΔThc is small and ΣΔT is large, it is determined that the heat accumulation is present, and when the value T of the temperature sensor 150 on the cold aisle side is larger than TL, the F parameter is set so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is opened. To do. Further, when T is equal to or less than TL, the F parameter is set so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is closed.
When ΔThc is large and ΣΔT is small, it is determined as an ideal cooling state, and when the value T of the temperature sensor 150 on the cold aisle side is equal to or higher than TH, the F parameter is set so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is opened. Set. When T is smaller than TH, the F parameter is set so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is closed.
When ΔThc is large and ΣΔT is large, it is determined that the server 110 is in a heat accumulation state or that the server 110 is generating heat that exceeds the cooling capacity. For example, control is performed to increase the temperature or to lower the set temperature of the air conditioner 140.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a procedure of M parameter acquisition processing by the cooling system. In the following, the process illustrated in FIG. 8 will be described in order of step number.
[Step S41] The temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 provided in the upper part of the cold aisle side is converted into a temperature control index Tn based on a preset temperature control upper limit temperature TH and temperature control lower limit temperature TL.
For example, when TH is 40 ° C. and TL is 31 ° C. and a temperature control index Tn of 1 to 10 is assigned, 31 ° C. or less is assigned 1, 32 ° C. is 2 ... 39 ° C. is 9, and 40 ° C. or more is assigned 10.
[Step S42] The temperature control index Tn of each area set in the server room 10 is averaged. By the operations in steps S41 and S42 described above, the temperature portion that protrudes when the average value is obtained can be excluded from the calculation of the average value.
[Step S43] It is determined whether the temperature control index Tn is TH or TL. If it is other than TH or TL, the process proceeds to step S44. If TH, the process proceeds to step S45. If TL, the process proceeds to step S46.
[Step S44] It is determined whether or not the temperature control index Tn is greater than the average value of the temperature control indices Tn in all areas. If it is greater than the average value, the process proceeds to step S45, and if it is less than the average value, the process proceeds to step S46.
[Step S45] The M parameter is set to 1 so that it can be easily determined that the louver 160 is opened (see step S14 in FIG. 4). This is because in step S43 or step S44, the temperature control index Tn at that location is determined to be larger than the average value of all the areas, so the M parameter is set so that it is easier to determine that the louver 160 is opened to enhance the cooling of that portion. Set.
[Step S46] The M parameter is set to 0 so that it can be easily determined that the louver 160 is closed (see step S14 in FIG. 4). This is because in step S43 or step S44, since the temperature control index Tn of the relevant part is determined to be equal to or less than the average value of all the areas, it is not necessary to cool the part, so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is closed. Set.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a procedure of P parameter acquisition processing by the cooling system. In the following, the process illustrated in FIG. 9 will be described in order of step number.
[Step S51] It is determined whether or not the temperature predicted by the temperature sensor 150 provided at the upper part of the cold aisle side after n minutes is greater than TH. If it is determined that the value is greater than TH, the process proceeds to step S52. If it is determined that the value is less than TH, the process proceeds to step S53.
[Step S52] The P parameter is set to 1 so that it can be easily determined that the louver 160 is opened (see step S14 in FIG. 4). Since it is determined in step S51 that the temperature control upper limit temperature TH is reached after n minutes, the P parameter is set so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is opened. The value of n after n minutes is an arbitrary set value, and temperature prediction will be described later.
[Step S53] The P parameter is set to 0 so that it can be easily determined that the louver 160 is closed (see step S14 in FIG. 4). In step S51, since it is determined that the temperature control upper limit temperature TH is equal to or lower than n minutes later, the P parameter is set so that it is easy to determine that the louver 160 is closed.
FIG. 10 is a graph showing a change in temperature when the louver is closed from an overcooled state.
In FIG. 10, TL is set to 28 ° C. and TH is set to 31 ° C. Further, the four line graphs indicated by 0, 300, 800, and 1800 indicate temperature changes when the power consumed by the server 110 is 0, 300, 800, and 1800 (W), respectively. It is virtual when 1 to 4 servers 110 are operating.
The cooling system 100 stores the temperature change information, and predicts the temperature after n minutes from the power consumption acquired from the current sensor 170, the temperature change information, and the current temperature of the server 110 measured by the temperature sensor 150. To do.
The temperature prediction learning unit 190 of the cooling system 100 stores the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 in association with the power consumption acquired from the current sensor 170. Then, the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 (for example, temperature 1) and the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 150 (for example, temperature 2) after a predetermined time (for example, n minutes) from when the louver control state (opening / closing) is performed. Since the change values of temperature 1 and temperature 2 calculated from the above are stored as temperature change information, the temperature after n minutes is predicted based on this temperature change information.
According to this, when the power consumption is 0 to 800 W, it does not exceed TH even after 31 minutes, and when the power consumption is 1800 W, it exceeds TH after 26 minutes. Therefore, the control for opening the louver 160 is not performed when the power consumption is 0 to 800 W, and the control for opening the louver 160 is performed when the set n is 10 or more when the power consumption is 1800 W. This is because when the server 110 rapidly generates a large amount of heat, the cooling is not in time and the temperature of the server 110 rises, which may cause an abnormal operation of the server 110.
FIG. 11 is a graph showing a change in temperature when the louver is opened from the state of heat accumulation.
In FIG. 11, TL is set to 28 ° C. and TH is set to 31 ° C., and the four line graphs indicated by 0, 300, 800, and 1800 have power consumption of 0, 300, 800, The temperature change at 1800 (W) is shown.
According to this, when the power consumption is 0 to −800 W, it does not fall below TL even after 58 minutes, and when the power consumption is −1800 W, it is found that the power falls below TL in just over 20 minutes from the state of 34 ° C. or higher. Accordingly, the control for closing the louver 160 is not performed when the power consumption is 0 to −800 W, and the control for closing the louver 160 is performed when the set n is 20 or more when the power consumption is −1800 W. When the power consumption is −1800 W, there is a possibility of overcooling, thereby preventing the operation cost and the environmental load from increasing.
The temperature prediction in FIGS. 10 and 11 described above is not based on the temperature change information, but in the case of a server that manages a company network, for example, the amount of heat that reaches the peak of server operation before and after the start of work depends on time. Can be predicted. In such a case, prediction information of time-dependent temperature change may be provided in addition to the temperature change information, and the opening / closing control determination of the louver 160 may be made based on this prediction information.
The above processing functions can be realized by a computer. In that case, a cooling control program describing the processing contents of the functions that the cooling system should have is provided. By executing the cooling control program on a computer, the above processing functions are realized on the computer. The cooling control program describing the processing contents can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a magnetic recording device, an optical disk, a magneto-optical recording medium, and a semiconductor memory. Magnetic recording devices include HDDs, FDs, magnetic tapes, and the like. Optical discs include DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-R (Recordable) / RW (ReWritable), and the like. Magneto-optical recording devices include MO (Magneto
Optical disk).
When the cooling control program is distributed, for example, portable recording media such as DVDs and CD-ROMs on which the cooling control program is recorded are sold. It is also possible to store the program in a storage device of a server computer and transfer the cooling control program from the server computer to another computer via a network.
The computer that executes the cooling control program stores, for example, the cooling control program recorded on the portable recording medium or the cooling control program transferred from the server computer in its own storage device. Then, the computer reads the cooling control program from its own storage device and executes processing according to the cooling control program. The computer can also read the cooling control program directly from the portable recording medium and execute processing according to the cooling control program. Further, each time the cooling control program is transferred from the server computer, the computer can sequentially execute processing according to the received cooling control program.

The above merely illustrates the principle of the present invention. In addition, many modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art, and the present invention is not limited to the exact configuration and application shown and described above, and all corresponding modifications and equivalents may be And the equivalents thereof are considered to be within the scope of the invention.

Although stallion spermatozoa produce significant quantities of reactive oxygen species, a lag between 4-hydroxynonenal (4HNE) adduction and the loss of motility in stallion spermatozoa suggests the presence of a robust aldehyde detoxification mechanism. Because there is a paucity of studies characterizing the role of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in sperm functionality, the aim of this study was to ascertain the relationship between 4HNE production and motility and ALDH expression by stallion spermatozoa. PCR analysis revealed the presence of the ALDH1A3, ALDH1B1, and ALDH2 isoforms in these cells. Strong correlations (P < 0.001) were found between ALDH expression and various motility parameters of stallion spermatozoa including the percentage of progressive (r = 0.79) and rapidly motile (r = 0.79) spermatozoa, whereas repeated measurements over 24 h revealed highly significant correlations among progressive motility loss, 4HNE accumulation, and ALDH expression (P ≤ 0.001). ALDH inhibition resulted in a spontaneous increase in 4HNE levels in viable cells (21.1 ± 5.8% vs. 42.6 ± 5.2%; P ≤ 0.05) and a corresponding decrease in total motility (41.7 ± 6.2% vs. 6.4 ± 2.6%; P ≤ 0.001) and progressive motility (17.0 ± 4.1% vs. 0.7 ± 0.4%; P ≤ 0.001) of stallion spermatozoa over 24 h. Similarly, inhibition of ALDH in 4HNE-challenged spermatozoa significantly reduced total motility over 4 h (35.4 ± 9.7% vs. 15.3 ± 5.1%, respectively; P ≤ 0.05). This study contributes valuable information about the role of the ALDH enzymes in the maintenance of stallion sperm functionality, with potential diagnostic and in vitro applications for assisted reproductive technologies.

Enjoy the miles of nature trails and acres of woodlands. Goa is a tropical paradise of singular beauty. So it is only fitting that Mandrem Beach Resort provides a vacation experience- an unspoilt expanse of soft white sand in which one can almost get lost, and to which one will long to return.Mandrem Beach resort, a soul stirring, peaceful hideaway, located on the pristine Mandrem Beach, is your ultimate holiday destination in Goa.
This beach offers you complete relaxation, peace and solitude; free from the hectic day-to-day life. Even many of the areas are out of range for cell phones. It is most entertaining and well accommodative than others in the same area i.e., Ashwem and Morjim.
Geographically Mandrem is surrounded by the villages of Morjim, Parxem, Chopdem and Arambol. But it is the pristine beach land which works wonders for the village. The foreign backpackers discovered the beach spot while heading to Arambol. The twin beaches of Ashvem and Junas now provide a colorful corridor to the Arambol beach, a much beaten north destination for tourists in Goa.

Men's Golf Sinks Third at Yale's Macdonald Cup
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – This past weekend, Harvard men's golf placed third out of 14 teams at the Macdonald Cup hosted by Yale. The Crimson combined for a total score of 874, plus 34. Highlighting the Harvard lineup was junior Aurian Capart, who placed first among Ivy League competitors, fourth overall and was just two strokes off the number two spot (72-68-72, +2).
Despite taking the top three individual finishes, Stirling University was edged by Yale for first place in the team competition by just one stroke. Crucial to the Bulldogs success was four players placing in the top 10 of the individual competition. Rounding out the top five were Yale's B team in fourth and Princeton taking fifth.
Rij Patel finished tied for 13th in the individual competition, carding rounds of 73, 72 and 72 to finish plus seven.
Round One Highlights
Grant Fairbairn set a new career low round of 72.
Harvard led the tournament with 28 birdies with Grant Fairbairn and Aurian Capart contributing a tournament high eight and seven respectively.
Round Two Highlights
Aurian Capart posted another five birdies in round two.
Round Three Highlights
Yale's infamous ninth hole proved to be the most difficult in round three, players averaging +0.86 strokes on the 213 yard, par three hole.
All seven players finished in the top 50 of more than 80 competitors in the tournament.
Harvard will head west next weekend to compete at the University of California's Alister Mackenzie Invitational.


First Class completed their first STEM activity this week. We have been learning all about houses and homes in SESE and completed a STEM activity based on that. We read the story of the three little pigs and talked about the different materials used in each house. The class were then presented with a challenge.
The children split into six teams. Two teams made a house from straw (plastic straws), two teams made a house from wood (lollipop sticks) and two teams made a house from bricks (strong card).
We talked about fair testing and decided each team should get the same amount of materials to work with and each team should have the same amount of time to complete the task.
The children planned what their project would look like by sketching.
The children worked together to create their houses.
All of the houses passed the test of the big bad wolf!
The children reflected on their work afterwards and discussed some things that they would do to improve their houses.


The report is in and there will be no more indictments. Whether that means Mueller found reasons to indict Trump is still unknown. And we might never know. If they manage to bottle up the report and the counterintelligence info is all classified we might never know.
But we really don't know much at the moment other than what we knew before. Russian government agents interfered in the election and went to great lengths to infiltrate the Trump campaign. And we know that Trump was compromised with his big Trump Tower deal which he kept secret and about which he lied repeatedly to the public.
And we know that Trump has behaved in a bizarrely secretive and obsequious manner with Vladimir Putin. We still don't know whether or not Putin pulled his compromised strings or whether Trump just knows what he needs to do.
Mueller's team has left a trail of breadcrumbs suggesting that if there was collusion with the Russians, then Trump's campaign chairman Paul Manafort may have played a key role. Trump and Manafort deny any collusion, and in dozens of public filings, Mueller never produced any evidence implicating them in collusion. But prosecutors repeatedly alleged that Manafort worked for free, was desperate for cash, and tried to monetize his position with influential oligarchs.
In addition, Mueller laid out how Trump acolyte Roger Stone sought information from WikiLeaks with prodding from Trump's campaign, as to when the website would release politically damaging documents. Those documents were stolen by Russian government hackers. But Mueller never accused Stone of directly working in cahoots with WikiLeaks or the Russians.
Trump's ex-attorney Michael Cohen recently testified on Capitol Hill that he witnessed Stone and Trump discussing WikiLeaks in summer 2016. During a gripping daylong hearing, Cohen also described how he and Trump pursued a massive business deal with a Russian company during the campaign. Mueller's team has suggested that this could be a motive for collusion, outlining in court filings how the deal would have enriched Trump with Russian help.
If there was collusion, and it rose to the level of criminality, it's safe to assume that Mueller would have brought indictments. The Russia investigation is now over, and nobody in Trump's orbit was charged with conspiring with the Russian government. A Justice Department official told CNN on Friday that no additional indictments are coming from the Mueller investigation.
Another element of the unfolding Russia drama was the on-again, off-again dance between Mueller's team and Trump's lawyers regarding the President's testimony. Trump provided Mueller with written responses about his 2016 campaign, but nothing that happened after Election Day, viewing the transition and his time in office as subject to executive privilege.
With the investigation over, it appears that Trump's lawyers succeeded in staving off an in-person interview.
Trump's lawyers knew their client regularly strays from the truth and sometimes flat-out lies. So, preventing an interview was tantamount to preventing perjury.
Mueller could have subpoenaed Trump, though this would have carried risks of its own, like a lengthy court battle ending with a ruling in Trump's favor. Mueller might have found ways to get what he needed from other witnesses. Or perhaps he was ultimately swayed by Trump's lawyers that they cooperated so extensively that a sit-down interview wouldn't add much value.
After the election, Trump's team maintained that there were zero contacts between the campaign and Russians. It didn't take long for this story to completely fall apart. Since then, at least 16 Trump associates have been identified as having contacts with Russians during the campaign or transition. There were dozens and dozens of Trump-Russia contacts.
That list of 16 includes senior people from Trump's campaign, senior Trump administration officials, members of Trump's family, and people who were part of Trump's trusted inner circle.
Obstruction can be a lot of things. Already, members of Trump's inner circle pleaded guilty to witness tampering, lying to the FBI and misleading congressional investigators. Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress and testified to lawmakers that he did so at Trump's direction, though Trump didn't explicitly use those words. Prosecutors say these actions by Cohen and former Trump campaign aides impeded the Russia investigation time and time again.
Many of Trump's detractors already think he is guilty of obstruction. They point to his firing of FBI Director James Comey, his role in misleading the public about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, attempts to remove Mueller from his post, relentless public attacks against witnesses, and more.
McCabe said in interviews that the counterintelligence investigation was spurred by Trump's bizarre public statements and comments — not some damning classified information. But once the probe was opened, the FBI could use a wide array of tools to investigate the President.
The most salacious elements of the dossier are unproven, yet many of the allegations contained in the memos have held up over time, or at least proven partially true. The memos accurately described Russia meddling and said Trump's campaign was hiding contacts with Russians and that the Kremlin was involved in potential real estate deals for the Trump Organization.
Trump famously declared in a July 2017 interview with The New York Times that Mueller would be crossing a "red line" if he investigated Trump's personal finances and his family's business.
Mueller blew past Trump's rhetorical line. He scrutinized potential efforts by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner to mix his business interests with his government role. And he handed off the wide-ranging Cohen investigation to federal prosecutors in Manhattan. That case put the Trump Organization squarely in the crosshairs of federal investigators.
That is some of what we know. We also know that Mueller never indicted any members of Trump's family — the closest he got to Trump's innermost circle was Cohen. But there might be things we don't know.
It would not have been difficult for Mueller to obtain Trump's tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service. Trump has worked hard to keep his taxes out of public view — perhaps Mueller's report will change that. If not, the onus will fall on eager House Democrats.
Michael Flynn, Trump's short-lived national security adviser, cut a deal with Mueller and provided evidence against one of his former lobbying partners. Bijan Kian was charged with illegally lobbying for Turkey and is set to go on trial this summer. He pleaded not guilty.
Other key players — like Manafort's longtime deputy Rick Gates and influential DC lobbyist Sam Patten — have been cooperating with Mueller for a while. Gates was a senior official on Trump's inaugural committee, which is now under scrutiny by federal investigators in Manhattan.
Mueller's investigation was never just about Russia. There was an entire component that looked at how Middle East countries potentially tried to improperly influence Trump's team, perhaps through emissaries like Blackwater founder Erik Prince. Mueller didn't bring any charges from that swath of the probe, though parts could have been handed off to other investigators.

My boyfriend and I spent the first part of our Hawaii trip in Kauai. This was actually my first time in Kauai and as you can see from the pictures, it is just gorgeous!! Kauai is very different than Oahu since it is less crowded and most of the land is private property (which can make it difficult to explore a lot of the island).
We stayed at the Koloa Landing Resort for five days. It is a beautiful resort with three pools and gorgeous landscaping plus a delicious restaurant called Holoholo Grill. On the first day we just explored and drove around the island. On the second day we went on a boat ride along the Napali Coast with Go Blue Adventures! Go Blue Adventures definitely took us for a ride! The waves were a big crazy so we got kind of soaked but it was so cool seeing the saves and beaches with no land access! On the third day we took a helicopter ride which is how I got these beautiful landscape photos!

New details have emerged in the shooting death of former radio personality and BET DJ Megatron. According to The New York Post, Megatron was reportedly approached by three men before the shooting. Reports also say that he was on the phone with a friend at 2 am when he was gunned down.
Sources told police that three men accosted Megatron, real name Corey McGriff, and were seen fleeing the scene. Cops added that a robbery was unlikely because Mega only had $1 in his wallet and his phone was not taken.
According to Allhiphop.com, police said that Mega was talking on his cell phone as he allegedly drove to buy a cigar and a small amount of marijuana. Law enforcement is investigating Megatron's homicide as a possible random crime, a planned hit, or a drug deal gone wrong.
Other reports say that the authorities are now saying the shooting could have been a result of an unpaid debt. The newspaper reported that a user name "Megapayup" left threats on Megatron's YouTube page regarding an alleged debt.

Hyundai Motor vows to serve customers better

By Kwak Yeon-soo
Hyundai Motor Group has vowed to place its primary focus on customers rather than competitors and put quality first to keep ahead of rivals.
Hyundai Motor's Executive Vice Chairman Chung Eui-sun attended an event hosted by The Carlyle Group in Seoul, Wednesday, and discussed issues including "how to revive customer interest" and "how to provide pre-emptive customer service" with Lee Kew-song, co-chief executive of The Carlyle Group.
"I've been emphasizing the need to bring the focus back to customers," Chung said. "Customers have always been our priority, but I question whether we are really thinking of our customers in our services and products. I want everyone at our company to think about how they can make the customer happy."
He also stressed the need to adapt a flexible corporate culture to bring change and innovation to the company.
"We will give more autonomy to our employees so they can make their own decisions," he said. "We are making our utmost efforts to improve communication within the organization."
Regarding leadership style, Chung said he differs from his grandfather Chung Ju-yung, who founded Hyundai Motor Group in 1947 and led the nation's industrialization.
"My grandfather was a strong leader, with the whole company following a single direction," he said. "But I try to provide a general direction and discuss ideas altogether. It may take longer, but I think we can find better answers when we work together."
Chung stressed the automaker's commitment to "quality," explaining that new technologies can only enrich customers' lives when quality is guaranteed.
"Technology can make driving more convenient, but malfunctions must be minimized," he said. "A car cannot reset every time, like a phone or a PC."
He also stressed the need to boost investment and efficiency in research and development, referring to it as one of his biggest challenges.
Chung said building partnerships is the key to future success.
Hyundai Motor Group has been partnering with mobility companies like Grab and Ola to accelerate its transition into a smart mobility solutions provider.
"Younger generations are not as keen on the idea of buying cars or even getting a drivers' license, so we have to shift our business to service," Chung said.

Mazus ist eine ostasiatische Pflanzengattung. Die Gattung wurde traditionell/früher zur Familie der Braunwurzgewächse (Scrophulariaceae) gerechnet. In der aktuellen Systematik, die auf Gensequenzanalysen beruht, gehört die Gattung aber in die Familie Mazaceae.

Beschreibung
Es handelt sich um relativ kleine, ein- bis mehrjährige krautige Pflanzen, die aufrecht bis niederliegend wachsen und an den Blattknoten wurzeln können.

Die unteren Laubblätter stehen in einer Rosette oder sind quirl- oder gegenständig, die oberen bei vielen Arten wechselständig. Die Blätter sind langsam in den Blattgrund verschmälert bzw. die Blattstiele sind geflügelt.

Die Blüten stehen in endständigen und meist einseitswendigen traubigen Blütenständen. Die zwittrigen, zygomorphen Blüten sind meist fünfzählig. Der grüne Kelch ist trichter- bis glockenförmig und meist tief in fünf Kelchzipfel gespalten. Die Kronblätter sind zu einer Kronröhre (sie kann röhrig bis glockenförmig sein) verwachsen. Die Unterlippe der Blütenkrone ist dreilappig und flach nach vorne oder unten ausgebreitet. Dabei sind die beiden Seitenlappen meist deutlich größer, als der Mittellappen. Über dem Mittellappen befinden sich zwei längliche, längsliegende, oft farblich abgehobene Ausbeulungen. Die Oberlippe ist meist deutlich kürzer als die Unterlippe. Sie ist zweilappig, wobei die beiden Lappen bei den meisten Arten nur kurz und schmal lanzettlich sind, und die Oberlippe schon vor dem Beginn der Lappen verschmälert ist. Meist sind vier Staubblätter ausgebildet. Der oberständige Fruchtknoten besteht meist aus zwei verwachsenen Fruchtblättern, die Narbe ist zweilappig.
Es werden Kapselfrüchte gebildet, die winzige Samen enthalten.
