Cycling is a popular fitness activity worldwide. Although the physiological benefits of cycling are known to many, its precise impact on the ‘rectus femoris’ muscle has remained elusive so far. A sports science researcher from Japan has now made a direct comparison between concentric and eccentric cycling, and demonstrated the relatively higher efficiency of eccentric cycling, using neuromuscular activation as a key performance indicator.
Working out has a science of its own. Scientists categorize different workout activities based on how the muscles are used while performing them: to understand this clearly, consider the popular bicep curl. When you are curling the dumbbell towards you, you are contracting the bicep muscle, and this is a concentric activity. Returning the dumbbell to the original position requires your bicep to ‘uncurl’ or go back to its normal length, making this an eccentric activity. Scientists are constantly on the quest to pinpoint which one of these activity types, or more realistically, what combination, gives the best output in terms of neuromuscular improvement.
A sport science researcher from Japan has recently been able to demonstrate the unique neuromuscular activation of the rectus femoris muscle during concentric, or regular, cycling, and eccentric cycling, where one resists the backward movement of the pedal instead of pushing down by contracting the muscles. The results of this study have been published in the Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology. This paper was made available online on January 30, 2022.
For the uninitiated, the rectus femoris is a long and fleshy muscle bulk that is located in the anterior compartment of the thigh. Its primary function is to extend the leg at the knee joint and to facilitate the flexing the hip joint. This muscle is vulnerable to damage, especially during intense exercise and sports or after a physical trauma.
According to the author of the study Dr. Ryoichi Ema, Associate Professor at the Shizuoka Sangyo University in Japan, “The rectus femoris muscle is an important muscle for sport performance in athletes and physical performance in older adults, indicating that it should be specifically targeted for exercise-related activity.”
Dr. Ema used an ergometer to quantitatively estimate the involvement of various types of muscles. An ergometer is a special device that measures the work or energy expended during a period of physical exercise. In an eccentric cycling ergometer, the pedals automatically spin backward.
The researcher obtained the root mean square (RMS) of the surface electromyographic (EMG) signals from the three types of muscles—proximal and distal regions of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and biceps femoris. The EMG signal measures electrical currents generated during muscular contractions and is used to assess various types of neuromuscular activities.
Dr. Ema also made a quantitative comparison between concentric and eccentric cycling. Although previous studies suggest that eccentric exercise produces less fatigue and is more efficient than concentric exercise (descending a stairway is easier than ascending it), its precise impact on the rectus femoris muscle had not been accurately determined.
Dr. Ema muses, “Eccentric cycling exercise can be performed with less effort as compared to concentric cycling exercise, a popular exercise. However, higher neuromuscular activation of the recuts femoris muscle can be obtained during eccentric cycling, thus suggesting that eccentric cycling exercise is a good for improving the function of the rectus femoris muscle.”
The numbers speak for themselves: the experimental results clearly demonstrated that the RMS-EMG of the rectus femoris muscle was indeed greater during eccentric cycling than during concentric cycling.
“Eccentric cycling exercise would be useful for improving athletic performance and for improving the quality of life in older adults, and for preventing severe damage resulting form intense exercise and sports. Although an eccentric cycling ergometer is still not a routinely used exercise equipment, it is expected to bring in significant benefits, especially during training and rehabilitation,” notes Dr. Ema.
The pandemic has taught us an important lesson: that physical fitness is crucial for human survival. Moreover, if fitness devices can quantitatively determine and compare the neuromuscular function and therefore the performance of various muscle groups, then we should definitely make it a point to incorporate them into our daily exercise regimen. Happy cycling!

Background: Human serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is a high-density lipoprotein-associated ester hydrolase which can inhibit low-density lipoprotein oxidation and has an antiatherogenic effect. Two common polymorphisms are known in the PON1 gene in humans (at positions 55 and 192), from which the latter gene alteration has been mainly attributed to alter the activity of the protein. Moreover, significantly reduced PON1 activity was found in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and renal transplant patients. Methods: The aim of the present study was to investigate the genotype and phenotype distribution of the PON1 gene as well as its end product activity in patients with CKD (n = 117), in renal transplant recipients (n = 146) and in reference subjects (n = 1,180). Results: Unexpectedly high discordances between phenotype and genotype assessments were observed in all studied groups (28.2% in the CKD, 20.55% in the transplant and 30.9% in the reference group). Arylesterase activity was significantly lower in the CKD group compared to the reference sample. There were no significant differences between patients and the reference group in the frequencies of polymorphisms PON1-55 and PON1-192. PON1 activity did not differ in patients compared to the reference group. Conclusions: Both PON1 phenotype and genotype determinations are necessary to estimate PON1 status.

A series of preparations of linear dimethyl-, methylethyl- and diethylphos-phinoborine polymers were made to optimize experimental conditions. n-methyl-piperazine when used as an end-group for linear dimethylphosphinoborine polymers provided a fair yield of product which resembled polymers terminated with other end-groups. dimethylphosphinoborine trimer was prepared in good yield from dimethylphosphonium chloride and lithium borohydride and in low yield by dehydrohalogenation of dimethylphosphine chloroborine. an x-ray diffraction study of the dimethylphosphinoborine-methylphosphinoborine pentamer indicated the crystals to be of complex structure. the synthesis of phosphine intermediates by known methods has produced one new secondary phosphine and one new organophosphine derivative. n-dimethyl-b-trimethylborazene was synthesized both by dehydrohalogenation of a mixture of the methyldibromoborine adducts of methylamine and ammonia and by pyrolysis of a mixture of the trimethylborine adducts of methylamine and ammonia.

Why it matters: California, the most populous state in the country, was one of the last states to drop its health restrictions, according to the New York Times.
The big picture: Establishments will no longer limit capacity, and people won't have to adhere to social distancing guidelines.
Masks will still be required in places like hospitals, long-term-care facilities, public transportation and prisons, but people who have been vaccinated will, for the most part, no longer have to wear masks.
Unvaccinated people are still required to wear masks, but enforcement of that rule will be based on an honor system.
The coronavirus has infected more than 3.8 million people in the state and has killed at least 63,204, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
The state has administered more than 40.5 million vaccines.

Police have arrested two people for human trafficking at a recycling plant in East London. Investigators from the Gangmasters & Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA), Metropolitan Police, and London Fire Brigade are looking into labor exploitation across England and Wales. In this past week GLAA has conducted three separate raids.
Resource reports that GLAA was initially founded to ensure that businesses meet employment standards, this year has been given extended powers to investigate all forms of labor abuse.
“While we have discovered some serious issues and laid the foundations for some solid working practices with key partner agencies, we know we have barely started to scratch the surface of the exploitation that exists in our capital,” said GLAA Head of UK Operations Ian Waterfield.
“As an intelligence-led organisation we need the public to provide us with information about labour abuse, financial and physical exploitation and possible modern slavery offences. We can and we will investigate but we can’t without help from the public.”
Hope for Justice, a charity that campaigns to end modern slavery, says that 70-80% of the victims they have assisted in the UK have been trafficked into the recycling or waste processing industries.
Several recent cases have revealed the prevalence of trafficking in these sectors. In October a Polish couple was charged with slavery offenses after trafficking a 47-year-old to work at a recycling plant in Birmingham. This follows the sentencing of four gang members to 32 years in jail for trafficking Polish workers to recycling plants in the North East.

Do-it-yourself firmware upgrades -- can it be done?
With all the hand-wringing, petitions, etc. over Nikon's requirement that the camera be returned for a firmware upgrade, I was wondering whether it is technically feasible for us to do it ourselves. Does anyone KNOW, without speculating, precisely how the upgrade is done for the D100? Is it through the CF card, the serial cable, or through some other means? Perhaps it is not possible, as a technical matter, for us to do it ourselves. I can't think of a good reason why Nikon would want to incur the massive expense in terms of labor and shipping costs if it were a simple, at-home procedure.

Acutally, I think there is a good reason, from a marketing standpoint. I am sure that Nikon USA will refuse to upgrade gray cameras -- cameras imported into the USA through "unauthorized channels." Nikon USA does not make a profit from the sale of such cameras and refuses to extend warranties to them. By refusing to upgrade gray goods, Nikon adds an additional deterrent to the purchase of them in the USA. Now, a salesperson can say "Not only won't you get a USA warranty if you buy a gray camera, but you'll have to ship it to Europe for a firmware upgrade." If firmware upgrades were readily available to do at home, there would be no distinction between USA models and gray models in that respect.
#2. "It is done from a CF card..." | In response to Reply # 0
...according to those who have walked in and had it done at one of the Nikon facilities. So it should be easily technically feasible for any user. If Nikon won't allow users to do it themselves, they should at least allow local Nikon dealers to do it so you don't have to lose the use of your camera for 2 weeks. For those who live next to a Nikon repair facility, it's no big deal, but for those of us in the hinterlands it's a tremendous pain in the ^??.

Italian telcos Wind Tre and Fastweb have signed a ten-year 5G network sharing agreement which they say ‘will lead to the rapid deployment of a shared 5G radio access and backhauling network in Italy’. The nationwide network will include Wind Tre and Fastweb macro and small cells, connected through dark fibre from Fastweb, with a targeted coverage of 90% of the population by 2026. Wind Tre will manage the 5G network, while both operators will offer commercial services independently over the shared infrastructure.
As part of the agreement, Wind Tre will provide Fastweb with roaming services on its existing mobile network (4G and legacy technologies), thus allowing Fastweb to extend its mobile coverage to national level, while Fastweb will provide Wind Tre with wholesale access to its fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) and fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) networks.
Both Wind Tre and Fastweb won spectrum in the government’s October 2018 5G auction, Wind Tre bagging 3.6GHz and 26GHz frequencies, while Fastweb secured a 26GHz permit. Fastweb also has access to 3.5GHz spectrum thanks to its acquisition of the TD-LTE business of rival firm Tiscali in November last year. TeleGeography’s GlobalComms Database notes that Wind Tre is owned by CK Hutchison of Hong Kong, while Fastweb is a subsidiary of Swisscom. In February this year another two Italian telcos, TIM and Vodafone, agreed to share their own 5G network rollouts in a deal covering 22,000 sites.

Graduate jobs pay only £3,000 more
Wednesday, 18 March 2009
Life after graduation
University students expecting to receive a boost in graduate job salary thanks to their degree will be disappointed to find that they will earn less than £3,000 more per year than those who did not receive higher education, according to Warwick University research.
The report, which studied 3,000 British people who graduated after 1970, says that some might only earn £2,800 per year more than those who left school after A-levels.
Male graduates with middling degrees in the arts or humanities are the worst off out of all students, who may have been wealthier if they had not attended university, due to increasing debt levels.
Social sciences, including law and economics, promised the highest salaries.
The study said that there was still a "substantial" earnings premium involved with a degree, however.
Graduates may also see taxes for tuition fees after university after a new proposal by the National Union of Students, which was announced in opposition to university vice-chancellors' requested to increase tuition fees.

Choking can be ‘silent’ and if you aren’t near your baby, you might not notice it. Aspiration: This is when food or drink goes into the lungs (instead of the stomach). This can make babies unwell and lead to chest infections and hospitalisation.
How do I know if my baby is aspirating?
Aspiration can cause signs and symptoms in a baby such as:
- Weak sucking.
- Choking or coughing while feeding.
- Other signs of feeding trouble, like a red face, watery eyes, or facial grimaces.
- Stopping breathing while feeding.
- Faster breathing while feeding.
- Voice or breathing that sounds wet after feeding.
Why is my baby choking on bottle?
Your baby often chokes while drinking
If the nipple you are using flows too quickly and your baby has too much milk in her mouth, she may choke (i.e., she swallows noisily, coughs and spits up a little milk).
What are the symptoms of silent aspiration?
Silent aspiration usually has no symptoms, and people aren’t aware that fluids or stomach contents have entered their lungs. Overt aspiration will usually cause sudden, noticeable symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, or a hoarse voice. Silent aspiration tends to occur in people with impaired senses.
What should I do if my baby chokes on milk?
“Often, just stopping the feed and positioning the baby upright with good head and neck support will give them a few seconds to manage the problem.” Gina Posner, MD, a pediatrician at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center, says if your baby begins to choke, let them stop feeding for a little bit and pat their back.8 мая 2020 г.
What do I do if my baby aspirated?
Posturing methods to treat aspiration include:
- Place infants in an upright/prone position during feedings.
- Avoid placing babies under 6 months in a lying position for approximately 1 ½ hours after feeding.
- Avoid feedings before bedtime (within 90 minutes)
- Elevate the head of your child’s bed by 30˚
How long after aspiration do symptoms occur?
Symptoms usually occur within the first hour of aspiration, but almost all patients have symptoms within 2 hours of aspiration.19 мая 2017 г.
How do I stop my baby from gulping his bottle?
Allow your baby to rest briefly during a feeding
But if your baby tends to continuously swallow which can lead to gulping, help you baby rest by leaving the nipple in the mouth and tipping it down slightly so the milk doesn’t reach the nipple tip. When your baby starts sucking again, let the milk flow again.13 мая 2019 г.
How long should it take a baby to drink 4 oz?
However, if mom has a fast flow, baby may prefer a medium flow nipple. Your baby should be able to take a 3-4 oz. bottle in about 15-20 minutes. If they finish too quickly they may not feel satiated and look for more milk that they may not really need.
Is Baby OK After choking?
If a child is choking and coughing but can breathe and talk:
It’s best to do nothing. Watch the child carefully and make sure he or she recovers completely. The child will likely be fine after a good coughing spell. Don’t reach into the mouth to grab the object or even pat the child on the back.
What to do if aspiration occurs?
For people aspiration pneumonia, a doctor may prescribe antibiotics to help clear the infection. When aspiration results from a medical condition, such as a stroke, speech therapy may help to improve a person’s swallowing reflex and lower their risk of aspiration.
How long does it take for aspiration pneumonia to develop?
Patients with chemical pneumonitis may present with an acute onset or abrupt development of symptoms within a few minutes to two hours of the aspiration event, as well as respiratory distress and rapid breathing, audible wheezing, and cough with pink or frothy sputum.
Who is at risk for silent aspiration?
Children are more likely to silently aspirate than adults,4 which may be due to immature neurologic develop- ment3,5,6 or the increased survival rate of premature infants and children with complex medical histories.
How many let downs in a feed?
The let-down reflex generally occurs 2 or 3 times a feed. Most women only feel the first, if at all.
Why do babies choke in their sleep?
Though parents are often concerned that their baby may vomit and choke while sleeping on their back, it is a total myth! Babies automatically cough up or swallow fluid that they spit up or vomit because of the gag reflex, that naturally prevents choking from happening.


The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety has released the numbers relevant to mining in western Colorado for 2018. According to the summary provided on
, approximately 1.4 million tons of coal was produced at the Colowyo Coal Mine in 2018. In 2017, production was almost a million tons more at approximately 2.3 million tons. Even with the drop, Colowyo continued to employ around 190 miners. In 2018, Trapper mine produced approximately 2.1 million tons, which is up from 2017 when Trapper produced approximately 1.5 million tons. Trapper employed an average of 170 miners since 2017.

text: Jeremy Snead Shaun Maloney June 1 2021 Approach to interest and costs in Section 238 proceedings confirmed Ogier | Litigation - Cayman Islands Jeremy Snead, Shaun Maloney Litigation IntroductionFactsDecisionIntroductionIn its recent judgment of In the Matter of Qunar Cayman Islands Limited,(1) the Grand Court confirmed and clarified how interest on awards in Section 238 proceedings is to be calculated and how the costs of such proceedings are to be determined.The judgment helpfully clarifies that the midpoint approach previously taken in Integra(2) and Shanda(3) is the correct methodology for determining the fair rate of interest payable in Section 238 proceedings. This will be welcomed by dissenting shareholders, particularly where the company has a relatively high cost of borrowing and/or where the prudent investment rate of return has been high during the period that they have been kept out of their money. However, the precise midpoint will always be fact specific and is likely to be the subject of expert evidence in most cases.The Grand Court's refusal to award the dissenters' their costs of the proceedings confirms, for the first time, that the default position of 'loser pays' will often be more nuanced in the Section 238 context; it may not simply be a question of whether dissenting shareholders have beaten the merger price. Where the crux of the dispute lies instead in the difference between the opinions of the parties' respective experts, the court will consider the question of success in the proceedings more broadly. Similarly, the court will not necessarily order that dissenting shareholders pay the company's costs merely because they have not accepted a settlement offer that exceeds the court's determination of fair value. The court may instead consider it appropriate to analyse whether the particular offer was capable of acceptance and whether the dissenting shareholders conducted themselves unreasonably in not accepting it.FactsQunar Cayman Islands Limited effected a merger pursuant to Section 233 of the Companies Act (as revised).(4) Certain minority shareholders (dissenters) dissented from this merger in accordance with Section 238 of the act, and Qunar petitioned the Grand Court to determine the fair value of the dissenters' shares. The court ultimately determined that the fair value of the dissenters' shares was 2% higher than the merger price.(5)The Grand Court was then required to determine the fair rate of interest payable to the dissenters and whether either party was entitled to costs, in circumstances where the fair value of the shares was found to be only marginally above the merger price.DecisionFair rate of interest – midpoint approach confirmedSection 238(11) of the Companies Act (as revised) states that the Grand Court must determine the "fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid by the company upon the amount determined to be the fair value". There is no further definition in the act of what constitutes a 'fair rate of interest'.Justice Parker held that:the fair rate of interest should be approached in a way which is consistent with the nature and purpose of the statutory jurisdiction and language, which is to protect the dissenting shareholders from the effect of a forced merger and in particular to compensate them for being out of their money and to fix a fair rate of interest in that regard.Following the decisions in Integra and Shanda, the Grand Court confirmed that it was right, as a matter of principle, to take account of both the disadvantage to the dissenters in being kept from the funds that they had previously invested in Qunar and the advantage to Qunar in having the benefit of access to those funds in the interim.The Grand Court consequently determined that the fair rate of interest was the midpoint between the rate:which prudent investors in the dissenters' position could have obtained had they had the money to invest (prudent investor rate);(6) andat which Qunar could have borrowed the amount representing the fair value of the dissenters' shares (company borrowing rate).(7)Interest periodThe Grand Court also determined that interest in Section 238 proceedings is payable from the date on which the company makes its written fair value offer (ie, 30 to 50 days prior to commencing proceedings) and runs until the earlier of when any judgment is given as to any interest payable or when the dissenters are actually paid for their former shareholdings in the company (taking into account any interim payment).After any judgment is made on interest, further interest then runs at the statutory judgment interest rate, which is presently set at 2⅜%.Basis of interest – simple or compoundThe Grand Court held that there was no legal basis for awarding compound interest in Section 238 proceedings and found that simple interest should apply.Liability for costs of proceedingsThe dissenters had initially contended that an uplift of 415% on the merger price should be awarded, but the Grand Court ultimately determined that the uplift was only 2% higher than the merger price. In these circumstances, the court considered that this was a case where "a more nuanced approach should apply [to costs] than merely to look at 'who writes the cheque'".The Grand Court had rejected the dissenters' expert's central thesis of a systematic undervaluation of Chinese companies on US exchanges and disagreed with his discounted cash flow calculations almost in their entirety. Given that the real issue for the court was the vast delta between the parties' respective expert valuations, and since the court's determination was significantly closer to what Qunar's expert had opined was fair value, the court held that the common sense view was that Qunar had succeeded at trial, and that it would be unfair to order it to pay the dissenters' costs.Qunar did not seek all of its costs, but instead argued that the dissenters should be ordered to pay its costs from the time that they had refused a "without prejudice save as to costs" offer to settle the proceedings for a 20% uplift on the merger price, made two weeks before the trial commenced. The Grand Court held that it would be unfair to make such an award due to uncertainty in the wording of the settlement offer, which had been made on a subject to contract basis, and that – even if the offer was capable of acceptance – the dissenters had not conducted themselves unreasonably in their response to it in the circumstances.Accordingly, the Grand Court made no order as to costs in favour of either party, and the parties each bore their own costs of the proceedings.For further information on this topic please contact Jeremy Snead at Ogier's London office by telephone (+44 1481 752301) or email ([email protected]).

Retail and e-commerce - February 2019
Closing the loops in retail
Consumers can now give their return package to the PostNL parcel delivery staff at the door. The deliverer who hands out a parcel can also take back a return parcel, if necessary. According to PostNL, this not only offers the consumer convenience, but is also by far the most sustainable way of returning.
E-commerce association Thuiswinkel.org (in Dutch) has developed the calculation tool Consciously Delivered (in Dutch). This gives webshops and customers an indication of the CO2 impact of parcel delivery. An infographic about the calculation tool can be found here (in Dutch, 2.1 MB).
At the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, LOOP was introduced: FMCG manufacturers in the food industry introduce reusable packaging that is also collected at the customer’s home, returned, cleaned and refilled for the next customer.
Following The Money
E-commerce is still growing rapidly, but more and more attention is being paid to costs and especially to the relationship with the physical points of sale. A BEVH (in German) market report from Germany shows growth. A presentation (in German, 14.67 MB) gives more information. The growth is also visible in France a FEVAD report shows.
An ABN AMRO (in Dutch) study shows the importance of a multichannel approach (both physical stores and online presence). You can download the report here (in Dutch, 664 kB).

INFRARED DETECTOR AND METHOD UTILIZING A GAS OF SMALL MOLECULAR SIZE TO BE DIFFUSED INTO THE DETECTOR Filed Oct. 30, 1962 INVENTOR.
MAX D. LISTON ATTORNEY INFRARED DETECTOR AND METHOD UTILIZING A GAS OF SMALL MQLECULAR SIZE T BE DH FUSED HNTO THE DETECTOR Max D. Liston, La Habra, Calif., assignor to Beckman instruments, lnc., a corporation of California Filed Oct. 30, 1962, Ser. No. 234,164 8 Claims. (1. 250-435) The present invention relates to infrared detectors and more particularly to infrared detectors in which a light gas is preferentially absorbed into the interior walls thereof.
Infrared analyzers and detectors therefor are well known in the art. In such analyzers, an infrared radiant energy source is arranged such that the radiation therefrom passes through a Sample cell containing an unknown substance to be analyzed, and through one or more infrared detector cells. A positive-type analyzer of this nature is disclosed in US. Patent No. 2,924,713 entitled Instruments by Max D. Liston, in which a sample cell and two detector cells are employed. The three cells are arranged in optical series relation. The unknown substance in the sample cell absorbs energy in the infrared spectrum. Each of the detector cells has a different charge of gas therein, and includes a variable capacitor having plates movable relative to each other by changes in energy of the gas within the respective cell. The energy change within the respective cell is a function of the change in radiant energy reaching the cell.
An important factor which has influenced the accuracy of positive-type pneumatic analyzers is the changes in the responsivity of the detectors employed therein. Infrared detectors of this type are extremely sensitive to the number of gas molecules in the absorption chamber. Changes as little as one tenth of one percent may produce very significant errors, particularly when employed in a single beam type arrangement having the sample cell and detector cells in optical series. It is believed that the main reason for the changes in charges in the detector cells is the absorption of the charging gas in the pores of the metal in the detector and also on the Walls of the detector. This absorption gives rise to two types of difficulty in the over-all instrument; first, the instrument experiences long-term drifts which are a function of time and storage temperature; and second, the detectors display rather high temperature coefiicients. The temperature coefiicients referred to are particularly troublesome since they may require hours and even days to equilibriate after the detectors are shifted to a new temperature.
A number of approaches have been unsuccessfully attempted in trying to minimize the absorption problem discussed above. Some improvements have been realized by utilizing a very dense non-porous plating in an effort to fill the pores of the containing vessel. An example of such a plating is an electrolysis nickel on aluminum, with a flash of gold on top of the nickel. Additionally, British patent specification No. 727,600 describes the use of a metal bellows which may be adjusted to vary the total volume of the detector in order to compensate for losses of the charging gas into the Walls of the detector. Although this latter scheme enables manual adjustment to restore the detector to its original condition, it does not prevent the changes and their accompanying drifts and errors.
According to a feature of the present invention, a gas which is preferentially absorbed in the interior walls of an infrared detector is employed in the detector.
An additional feature of the present invention is the 3,227,873 Patented Jan. 4, 1966 ice use of a light gas in the charging blend employed in an infrared detector chamber.
A further feature of the present invention is the provision of a charge for infrared detectors including a percentage of a gas having a small molecular size.
A still further feature of the present invention is the utilization, in the charging blend for an infrared detector, of a percentage of helium.
Another feature of this invention is the use of a percentage of hydrogen in the charging blend for an infrared detector.
A further feature of this invention is the provision of a method for selectively filling the pores of an infrared detector.
According to the present invention a percentage of a gas of small molecular size is included in the charging blend in an infrared detector, or applied within the detector prior to the application of the charging blend. The specific amount of the gas needed is believed to be a function of the porosity of the cells in the containing vessel. By utilizing a gas of small molecular size, this gas selectively diffuses into and fills the pores of the chamber, rather than the infrared absorbing gas. Additionally, the infrared absorbing gas is not lost or passed into and out of the pores of the detector, and the stability of the detector is substantially increased.
It has been found that the time required for an infrared detector to age-in and stabilize is greatly reduced when a percentage of a gas of small molecular size is used in the detector. Additionally, the temperature coefficients of the detectors are reduced, thereby reducing the drift during Warm-up and diminishing the accuracy required in maintaining the infrared detectors at a constant temperature. Not only are the detectors more stable initially, but also, the calibration does not change with time, and the calibration does not change significantly with temperature. Since, an increase in temperature results in an increase in kinetic energy and a resultant reduction in the packing of molecules, some of the gas in the detector is driven from the pores of the detector walls as heat is increased. The opposite occurs as the heat is reduced. This action results in the gas being driven in and out of the pores of the detector. Certain gases of small molecular size, such as, helium, do not affect the detector performance as much in moving into and out of the pores as does the infrared absorbing gas. Thus, by the use of a gas of small molecular size in the detector, which gas tends to diffuse into the pores of the detector, temperature effects are far less pronounced.
Other features and objects of the invention will be better understood from a consideration of the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the attached drawing, the single figure of which illustrates a sample cell and two detector cells of an infrared analyzer.
Referring now to the drawing, a cross-sectional view of a sample cell 10 and two detector cells 11 and 12 is illustrated. A radiant energy source 13, which may be a conventional coil of resistance wire energized from an oscillator (not shown), is arranged to pass infrared energy through the sample cell 10 and the two detector cells 11 and 12. The cells 10 through 12 may be constructed of a suitable material, such as, aluminum.
The three cells are arranged in optical series relation and are separated by windows 14, 15 and 16 of quartz or other material having suitable transmission characteristics. The sample cell Ill has an inlet 18 and an outlet 19 providing continuous flow of sample therethrough for continuous monitoring of process streams, or the like. Of course, the cell also may be used for batch measurements if desired.
Means are provided in each detector cell 11 and 12 for determining energy changes occurring therein. Typically, the mechanical movement of a vane or plate may be converted to an electrical signal. In the exemplary embodiment shown herein, a flexible diaphragm 21 is mounted in the detector cell 11 and constitutes one plate of a capacitor C1. Another plate 22 of the capacitor C1 is fixed in place in the detector cell 11. An outlet 24 provides for evacuation of the detector cell 11 and an inlet 25 provides for introduction of the new charge of gas. The outlet 24 and the inlet 25 may be sealed after a charge of gas is entered into the cell 11. The diaphragm 21 responds to a volume change in the cell 11 produced by absorption of infrared energy by the gas in the cell. The plate 22 of the capacitor C1 may be biased by a voltage source (not shown), and capacitance variations caused by diaphragm motion are converted to a voltage output on a line 27. The response of the diaphragm 21 is to dynamic volume change, and a small hole 28 in the diaphragm 21 maintains static pressure equilibrium between a main chamber 29 of the detector cell 11 and an associated chamber 30 of the cell.
The detector cell 12 is substantially identical to the cell 11 and has a capacitor C2 with plates 32 and 33. Also, an outlet 36 and an inlet 37 are provided. The plate 33 also is biased by a voltage source (not shown), and capacitance variations caused by motion of the diaphragm 32 are converted to a voltage output on a line 34. The output lines 27 and 34 may be coupled together and connected through an amplifier and a detector to a recorder as explained in greater detail in co-pending US. patent application of Max D. Liston, et al., entitled Infrared Analyzer, Serial No. 13,932, filed March 9, 1960, now Patent No. 3,130,302, and assigned to the same assignee as the present application. The particular electronic detecting circuitry connected with the capacitors C1 and C2 forms no part of the present invention and, thus, is not'set forth in any greater detail in the present application.
In a typical operation of an infrared analyzer in the past, the detector cells 11 and 12 may be charged with a mixture of CO, the gas to be analyzed for, and argon which is used as a diluent to build up the total pressure in the cell. With the sample cell 10 empty or with an inert gas passing therethrough, the source 13 is pulsed at a low rate and the electronic circuit of the analyzer is adjusted for zero. Subsequently, the sample to be analyzed is passed through the sample cell 10 and when CO gas is present in the sample, infrared energy is absorbed in the sample cell 10 rather than in the first detector cell 11. This change in the amount of infrared energy absorbed in the detector cell results in a relative change in the time-varying changes of the capacitors C1 and C2 and, hence, outputs are produced on the output lines 27 and 34. These output signals may be summed, amplified, and detected to provide an output signal indicative of the quantity of CO in the sample passing through the sample cell 10.
As was noted previously, detectors 11 and 12 are extremely sensitive to the number of gas molecules in their respective absorption chambers. It is believed that changes in the charges of gas within the chambers is a result of the absorption in the pores of the metal in the detector and also on the Walls of the detector. Because of this fact, it has been necessary to age the detectors after they are initially charged. Frequently it has been necessary to age detectors for two months or more before the drift rate settles to a low percentage within a given period of time. Additionally, the detectors experience long-term drifts which are a function of time and storage temperature, and display rather high temperature coelficients. The temperature coefficients are particularly troublesome since hours and even days may be required for the detector to equilibriate after being shifted to a new temperature. Because of temperature variations,
molecules of the charging gas are driven in and out of the pores of the detector, and since the number of molecules within the chamber varies with temperature, so does the accuracy of the detectors.
According to a feature of the present invention, the charging blend used in the detector cells 11 and 12 includes an amount of a gas of small molecular size. This gas is preferentially absorbed in the pores of the metal of the detector and on the walls of the detector rather than the infrared absorbing gas. Examples of gases of small molecular size which have been found suitable are hydrogen and helium; however, helium has been found to be preferable. Without the inclusion of a gas of small molecular size in the charge, approximately two months is required for a detector to age-in and stabilize. With a small percentage of hydrogen, the same amount of time may be required, but the drift over the two-month period is diminished by a factor of four to five times. However, with helium, the required aging time is reduced from approximately two months to around one to three weeks. Additionally, during this period of time, the detector changes are small enough to be tolerable after the first three to four days. Temperature coefficients of the detectors also are reduced by employing helium in the charging blend.
An example of typical charges for the detectors 11 and 12 when detecting for CO is 230 mm. total charge in each detector, with detector 11 being charged with 20% CO, 10% helium and argon, and with detector 12 being charged with 90% CO and 10% helium. An example of typical charges for the detectors 11 and 12 when detecting Freon 12 is 230 mm. total charge in each detector, with detector 11 being charged with 1.4% Freon 12, 88.6% argon and 10% helium, and with detector 12 being charged with 1% Freon 114, 89% argon and 10% helium. An example of typical charges for the detectors when detecting for CO is 230 mm. total charge in each detector, with detector 11 being charged with 10% CO 10% helium and argon, and with detector 12 being charged with 90% CO and 10% helium. The above charges are exemplary and dilferent proportions of the respective gases may be employed.
The following table indicates the improvement in drift rate in detectors with helium in the charge versus detectors without helium. Detectors A through D were CO detectors without helium, and detectors B through I were CO detectors with helium in the charging blend. The number of days given in the right-hand column is the number of days required for these detectors to settle to a drift rate of less than 1% in twenty-four hours.
Without helium Instead of actually adding a small percentage of a light gas to the charge for the detectors, a substantially onehundred percent charge of the light gas may be employed prior to using a conventional charge. This may be accomplished, for example, by charging with helium to one or a few atmospheres. This charge may be left in for a period of time, such as, twenty-four hours or longer, and subsequently withdrawn. Thus, the detector may be charged with the light gas and allowed to soak for a period, followed by pumping out the light gas and recharging with a conventional charge. Additionally, it may be desirable to elevate the temperature of the detector during soaking to a temperature, such as 180 F., in order to accelerate the absorption of the light gas into the walls of the detector cell. It should be noted that it would be desirable to withdraw the light gas quickly and quickly recharge with the conventional charge in order to prevent an escape of the light gas which has been absorbed in the pores and on the walls of the detector.
It now should be apparent that the present invention relates to the use of a percentage of a gas of small molecular size in an infrared detector. The gas of small molecular size selectively diffuses into and fills the pores of the detector chamber, rather than the infrared absorbing gas being absorbed therein. Additionally, the infrared absorbing gas is not lost or not passed into and out of the pores of the detector, and the stability of the detector is substantially increased.
Although particular gases have been discussed in connection with specific charges and charging blends to be utilized in an infrared detector, other suitable gases may be utilized. Furthermore, it will be understood that although examples of gases of small molecular size which have been found suitable in practicing the concepts of the present invention have been disclosed and discussed, other suitable gases which will fill pores in detector cells may be utilized; and that other applications are possible, and that the invention as disclosed may be subjected to various changes, modifications and substitutions without necessarily departing from the spirit of the invention.

Palit GeForce GTX 660 Ti Jetstream review -
Product Showcase Palit GeForce GTX 660 Ti JetStream
And as you can see there are GDDR5 SMT solder traces next to each RAM IC. So perhaps there will be a three GB model released. This however remains unconfirmed. The card is PCIe gen 3.0 compatible. Going from PCIe Gen 2 to Gen 3 doubles the bandwidth available to the add-on cards installed, from 500 MB/s per lane to 1 GB/s per lane. You can see two SLI connectors, the 660 series is allowed to work with up to three cards in SLI mode. For proper scaling and little driver issues as possible we always recommend to stick to 2 cards in multi-GPU mode.
Palit gives the card two DVI connectors (dual-link), one HDMI and a DisplayPort connector (full size).
The cooler is a good chunk longer opposed to the PCB. Incredibly silent and the performance is great, the JetStream series of cooling has done Palit justice alright. Though the 3-slot design might be hinder to some of you.
The GeForce GTX 660 Ti has a maximum power consumption of roughly 150 Watts, the typical power raw will actually be a good notch lower. You'll need to power the card with two 6-pin PCIe PEG lead from your power supply. Due to the small PCB the connectors look a little oddly placed, but that is because the cooler is longer than the actual PCB. Power supply wise we recommend a 550 power supply to start with. With one card that is.
In this review we test the Palit GeForce GTX 780 Ti Jetstream, armed with that massive triple fan based Jetstream cooler and our FLIR camera we'll see if it really is good cooling. Oh and hey, this ...

Sister to our mascot, the Stromanthe triostar, the Stromanthe sanguinea is extremely similar. This plant is perfect for the plant-lover who likes a more classic look, with a showy contrast. The backs of the leaves are a vibrant reddish brown colour, which is a stunning contrast from the deep green leaves. One more stand out is the centre strip of lighter green. One major difference is that there is no pink on this plant.
Like prayer plants (maranta), these plants also move their leaves in a praying hands method throughout the day. It is awesome to see their leaves in different positions in the morning and at night! These plants can be difficult to get the hang of, so be sure to read the water and light requirements in the other tabs!
Pet lovers will be happy to know that these plants are non-toxic. But please don't let cute little Bougie nibble these beautiful leaves!
Note: Plants are unique! The plant pictured is meant to give you an idea of the specification and quality of the plant you will receive, but will not be an exact replica.

After tossing and turning all night over trying to justify spending over £200 on anything in one go i have just ordered this beautiful thing, and it should be in my greedy little hands by Wednesday.
I currently own a DSI and i have wanted the 3DS since it came out but i never had cause to but as soon as i heard that animal crossing had came out i couldn't help myself. At first i was just going to buy a bog standard 3DS (pfft bog standard -_-) and buy the game.
Then it all went wrong from there. I saw this on game and i fell in love with it. The only reservation i had was the fact that the game comes pre loaded with out a hard copy. But i got over that as quickly as the thought came into my head. Then there was the price and that fact it was an XL i had never really gave the Xl any thought as i did think it was just a bigger screen.
So me being stupid i googled the size difference and found this,
I then saw that scribblenauts unlimited is going to be available on the console.
And that ladies and gentlemen was the final nail in the coffin. The whole point of this blog is to gather opinions and a few facts on what i can expect from this console.
Also if anyone can please help a sister out and tell me where i can find a good case for the 3DS XL i did order a kit that included a charger, case, memory SD card, car charger, headphones and styluses but it was down as a 3DS XL case but i re read the specs after buying it and is says 3DS so that will be going back. If any one knows where in the uk i can order near enough the same thing with the same accessories with it but the bigger case for the bigger console that would help me greatly.

Agronomic type: conferta
- Drought hardy
- Tolerates extremely acid soils with high aluminium
- Grows into late autumn and begins growth again in early spring
- Stands thicken up over time
- Relatively tolerant of frost
- Rapid growth rate where moisture, temperature and fertility are favourable
- Very competitive against a number of weeds including spiny burr grass and blue heliotrope
- Can be difficult to establish in very dry spring/summer conditions
- Can lose feed value quickly if grass growth is not controlled by grazing
- Not suitable for waterlogged soils or heavy clays
Plant: Densely tufted perennial 0.5-1.2 m high. The plant is generally erect but stems may bend at the lower nodes, where the whole plant often adopts a weeping habit. Light blue to grey-green foliage.
Stems: The flowering stems are smooth and round with purple to olive green nodes, lower nodes are usually purple.
Leaves: Leaves are rigid and narrow - up to 30 cm long and 7 mm wide. The leaf blades are hairless with distinct parallel veins and can be flat or rolled but usually taper to curly tip. The ligule is about 1 mm long with a fringe of hairs and long lateral hairs. The leaf sheaths are usually purple at the base, ridged with hairs on the lower surface.
Seedhead: The inflorescence is an open, olive green panicle up to 15-20 cm long and roughly triangular in outline. The flowering parts (spikelets) are 5-8 mm long dark olive green, leaden grey or purple in colour clustered on branches up to 2 cm long.
Seeds: The seed is orange to dark brown, smooth and elongated (approximately twice as long as broad). There is about 3.5 - 5 million seeds/kg.
Pasture type and use
A persistent perennial spring/summer/autumn grass. Suitable for grazing, hay and silage. Well suited to acidic light sandy, sandy loam and loam soils. Is useful for the control of spiny burr grass and other summer growing weeds such as blue heliotrope.
Warning: Not for use in regions where African lovegrass is a declared noxious weed. Consol is distinguishable from naturalised African lovegrass and cannot outcross with less desirable types. It is impossible to differentiate Consol and less desirable varieties from seed so it is important to purchase certified Consol seed.
Where it grows
Best suited to areas of NSW with a minimum average annual rainfall of 350 mm (southern NSW) and 400 mm (northern NSW). It is sown more widely in central and northern NSW than southern NSW as it responds well to summer rain.
Consol has the ability to germinate at lower temperatures than other tropical grasses. Some germination will occur as low as 10oC but is optimal at 20oC. Established plants can endure quite high temperatures (>35oC) and are quite tolerant of frost.
Autumn sown Consol can be oversown with a cereal crop but the sowing rate of the crop should be no more than 15 kg/ha.
Sowing/planting rates as single species
Sowing/planting rates in mixtures
0.3 -0.5 kg/ha
In southern NSW the best time to sow is in early spring when there is a good store of soil moisture. In central and northern NSW Consol can be sown from early spring to early autumn (preferred time is late summer to early autumn).
Lightly crushed super phosphate can be used to achieve an even distribution of seed at sowing.
To increase production and forage quality of Consol stands, apply Nitrogen. Although Consol has a low requirement for Phosphorus, it (and sulphur and occasionally potassium) should be applied to meet the requirements of the legume.
New stands of Consol should not be grazed until the plants are adequately anchored. Avoid the build up of mature, coarse rank growth as the feed quality will decline and will not be as palatable to stock. Consol can tolerate short periods of set stocking but rotational grazing is preferred. Stock should be managed to graze the stand between 800 - 2000 kg DM/ha.
It is important to allow plants to periodically seed down if initial stands are thin.
Consol lovegrass can tolerate fire which can be used strategically to rejuvenate old stands. Rank pastures that have been under-grazed can be burnt in early spring to promote a new flush of growth.
Most commercial seed of Consol is produced from dryland stands. Average yields range from 50-150 kg/ha.
Ability to spread
Spread by seed is lower than the undesirable types of African lovegrass. Consol will spread from seed in ungrazed areas where soil conditions are suitable.
African lovegrass is very competitive with other pasture species and is difficult to eradicate but Consol is less competitive than the naturalised types. Consol cannot outcross with less desirable types.
No major pest problems
No major disease problems
Consol is sensitive to Glyphosate but will require high rates to kill mature stands
Consol has moderate forage quality which varies with stage of growth and season.
Quality parameters for regrowth in the vegetative stage are:- Digestibility: 55-60% Crude protein: 10-12.5% 7.7-8.4 MJ/kg
Vegetative growth of Consol is palatable to stock but palatability declines as plants mature.
Dry matter production is greatest from spring to autumn (in summer will depend on moisture). Unlike most over tropical grasses Consol will grow slowly over winter but in areas that receive heavy frosts will have lower feeding value.
No reported problems
|Public variety - available from Heritage Seeds. Seed may be difficult to obtain.

Getting out on the trail is an absolute joy for millions of hiking enthusiasts around the world. Even if you are a beginner or a casual hiker, there is nothing more refreshing or exhilarating than getting out into nature and getting some casual exercise. Hiking can be great for your legs and core muscles and give your heart a boost.
Hiking has so many benefits that include a great cardio workout, time well spent with friends and family, and even breathtaking photo ops. Even if you are just taking a light hike, you still need to warm up your body properly to avoid muscle fatigue and injury. Walking on uneven terrain can be taxing on many of your body’s muscle groups so you want to be properly warmed up and limber.
You don’t want to end up with a sports injury that will sidetrack you for weeks, send you for treatment with the pros at a facility like Total Rehab and keep you off the trail. Stay active and healthy by following a good warm-up and warm-down routine during any exercise. Before you head out for a hike, whether you are an old pro or just a beginner, there are a few basic stretches that you should start with.
If you are new to working out or hiking, you may not know the difference between Dynamic stretching and Static stretching. Most people don’t really know that there is a difference at all. Stretching is just stretching, right? In the case of hiking, the difference can be very important to your muscle health.
Dynamic stretching is a way to warm up your muscles while you move through the stretch instead of holding it. Your movements will create a muscle memory routine and open the proper range of motion. This can help prep your muscles for the variety of motions that they will need to perform out on the trail.
Static stretching is also good for your muscles, where you hold a stretch, but it is best to do after your hike to help ward off any soreness. When you fail to complete a warm-down stretching routine your muscles can contract too quickly and make you really uncomfortable. This is the time when your tissues are the most susceptible to injury.
When you hike you will be using a wide range of muscle groups including your quads, calves, hips, hamstrings, and core. A good session of dynamic stretching lasting at least 10 minutes can help you reach your hiking goals and reduce the possibility of injury. By getting the blood circulating through your muscle groups and lubricating your ligaments and joints through stretching you can get your body primed for safe exercise.
Squat Hip Flexors
Stand straight with shoulders back and feet spread shoulder-width apart. Descend into a classic squat movement bending at the knee but keeping the knee from going forward over the tip of your foot.
From the squat position take one leg and reach it backward straight. While pushing your hips forward you should be able to feel the stretch through your hips. Bring the leg back forward after no longer than two seconds and repeat on the other side.
If you are hiking in a variety of elevations you may be doing a lot of climbing. These squat hip flexors will help you to have better balance and strength to carry yourself safely upwards.
Standing with your legs hip-width apart raise one of your legs with the knee bent towards your chest. Gently grab your leg in front of the knee and pull inwards toward your core. Hold for less than two seconds, you should feel a nice stretch through your hips and buttocks. Repeat on the other side.
This stretch can help to loosen your groin and hips and get them ready for the trail. You should feel the stretch through your hips and lower back as well. If you feel your lower back starting to strain you can take a break and repeat an additional series of stretches. Always make sure to hydrate to keep your muscles from cramping.
Hiking is all about leg power so your quads will need a good stretch before you head out. Standing with your legs hip-width apart, raise your foot up towards your buttocks. Reach back with the same side arm and grab the toe of your foot.
Deepen the stretch by pulling your foot further towards your body. You should feel the stretch all along the front of your quadriceps muscle. Repeat on both legs.
Heading out to hike without warming up your legs with the proper stretches can be risky. Not only do you want to eliminate any post-workout soreness but, you want to make sure that your joints and muscles are stretched and ready to work when you get on the trail.
Balance is a big part of being on the trail. When you are navigating rocks and roots it’s easy to twist your back if you are not careful. Stand with your legs hip-width apart and bend at the waist. Reach your hand down to your opposite foot and hold for no more than two seconds making sure to flex your sides and shoulders. Repeat on both sides.
When you are on the trail it’s important to keep your posture healthy with a strong core. You may be carrying a pack and need to stay balanced on uneven ground so it’s important to stretch out your core muscles and lower back range.
You may not realize the power and agility that you need to have in your core to keep you stable when you are out on the trail. By warming up with these torso twists you can get limber and warmed up for your hike.
Hiking can be an adventurous and rewarding workout to enjoy on your own or with family and friends. Always take a few minutes at the beginning of your hike to do some dynamic stretching to prepare your body properly for the trail ahead. Once your adventure is over, don’t forget to take a few minutes to cool your body down with a static stretching routine.

Main Article Content
Cancers of the large and small intestine are major contributors to worldwide cancer morbidity and mortality. Out of all the cancers, colon cancer is one of the most common diseases in the world. Every year 1.2 million patients are diagnosed for colon cancer. The rate of colon cancer incidence was low in India but is presently increasing; out of 3.5 million cancer cases, 35,000 have colon cancer. As a part of chemotherapy, lots of anticancer drugs are in the market, but the main problem associated with these drugs is their side effects. Because of chemotherapy treatment side effects, the patient needs secondary palliative care treatment. Plant medicines are well known for their non-toxic side effects, so the objective of the study is to develop a drug from medicinal plant against colon cancer with non-toxic side effects. It plays an important role in the discovery of lead compound for the development of conventional drugs. About 60% of currently used anticancer agents are derived from a natural source. In the present study, Melothoria maderaspatana was used to study the anticancer potential of the extract and to synthesize new anticancer moiety. With the findings of the study, it can be concluded that the plant Melothoria maderaspatana and possess anti-colorectal cancer activity. Before the clinical usage of extract, thorough toxicological profile has to be determined on the crude extracts as well as on isolated compounds to confirm the safety of the drug.

Black Hills Exploration and Production helped substantiate the USGS estimate by completing a number of 8,000- to 10,000-foot horizontal wells in the Niobrara Formation in the Piceance Basin in Colorado. The Niobrara Formation in the Piceance Basin is a 1,200 foot thick gas-producing pay-zone of complex rock properties. The exploration program had three major items to address: the optimal zone in which to land the horizontal wells; the proper orientation of the horizontal wellbore in that zone; and how to complete the horizontal wells effectively. Black Hills believes maximum production in the Niobrara will be achieved by optimizing hydraulic fracturing operations to create the largest quality reservoir contact.
