The two periods of Landsat TM/ETM + images in 1990 and 2000 are used to dynamically monitor the ecological environment of Dingxi, Weiyuan, Longxi, and Tongwei counties. The background data are obtained through screen visual interpretation. The construction, traffic, and mining land increase by 14.97%. The farming land increases by 8.02%. The woodland increases by 11.23%. The bare land, which is suitable for forest and grassland, and floodplain land decrease correspondingly. In the later 10 years, some measurements are carried into execution, for example, small basin integration control, transferring from cultivated land to forestland and grassland, the balance between grass and animal, and rotation grazing and closing of vegetation, which are results of the rationalization of land use and land cover. But there still consists of some problems such as low land use rate, higher ratio of agriculture land, low ratio of stockbreeding land, low ratio of the trees surviving. | The study area of this paper is Dingxi County, a typical loess gully-hilly region of the semi-arid regions. The land use maps in 1990 and 2000 were compiled from the Landsat TM images and other data resources. There are 9 kinds of land use types. The slope data derived of contour lines. Referring to some metrics of the landscape ecology, 10 metrics were selected or developed for quantifying the land use characteristic, monitoring the land use changes and analyzing the relationships between land use, land use changes and the topographical condition, governmental policies of the Dingxi County. Some conclusions were obtained. The selected metrics can quantify the land use and land use change in typical loess gully-hilly region, Dingxi County. The land use and land use change have good spatial distribution regularities in the slope grades. The governmental policies are the primary driving factors for the land use changes in our study area. The policies are reclaiming the slope farmlands and grassland into terraces, rainfall-collection works, and reforesting and regressing some sloping cultivated lands. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

The formation of densely packed layer of polymerized fullerene bonded to the nanotube surface was shown. | s2orc_title_abstract |
(REVOLUTION OF RETAILING IN THE FORMER CZECHOSLOVAKIA: THE CASE OF KMART | Kmart recently ended a nearly three‐and‐one‐halfyear long retailing venture in Eastern Europe where they were able to successfully transform existing ailing retailing enterprises into thriving examples of Western retailing. Even though Kmart's entrance into the former Communist Bloc was cut short, the endeavor adeptly illustrates a number of lessons of value to retailers involved in global activities. Specifically, this paper traces the entrance of Kmart into Eastern Europe, reviews the changes implemented by Kmart to adapt to this new environment, and identifies the lessons which can be learned. | s2orc_title_abstract |

In the event of multiple players maxing out (scoring 999,999 or higher), their second highest score is recorded to determine their seeding. This was especially utilized in 2018, when seven players maxed out, four of whom (Koji "Koryan" Nishio, Tomohiro "Green Tea" Tatejima, Jonas Neubauer and Harry Hong) maxed out twice. Thus, the officials needed their third highest scores just to determine the 1st to 4th seeding.

The development and testing results of a new current transformer (CT) test set at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt are described. The operation range for the ratio based bridge is intended for frequencies from 16.7 Hz up to 20 kHz. Equal setups of magnetically shielded current comparators with primary windings for rated currents from 100 mA up to 5 A convert the secondary currents of the standard CT and of the transformer under test (TUT) into proportional voltages. The errors of the TUT are calculated from the subsequent measurement of the complex voltage ratio. This current bridge and the voltage-ratio-based method allow comparing CTs with nonequal ratios. At 50 Hz, the measuring system offers an extended measurement uncertainty of less than 2 ppm or μrad, respectively. The bridge is verified for use with uncertainties of below 200 ppm or 400 μrad at a frequency of 20 kHz. | This paper describes the design and setup of different measuring systems for the calibration of commercial voltage and current transformer test sets for non-conventional instrument transformers. The calibration systems are recently developed at the national metrology institutes VSL, PTB, METAS and TUBITAK within the frame of the European project “FUTURE GRID — Non-conventional voltage and current sensors for future power grids”. The attained uncertainty of the calibration systems is in the order of 10 ppm and 10 μrad for testing the analogue non-conventional input and 20 ppm and 80 μrad for testing the digital (IEC 61850-9-2) input of the test set. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

A Good Medicare Read, But Dont Make It Your Only Source Of Information | My husband is five years older than me, so we went through Medicare protocol two years ago. In preparation for that, we read many books, but the one that helped us the most was <a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Maximize-Your-Medicare-2016-Edition-Understanding-Medicare-Protecting-Your-Health-and-Minimizing-Costs/dp/0996798706/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Maximize Your Medicare (2016 Edition): Understanding Medicare, Protecting Your Health, and Minimizing Costs</a>. At the time, that book was the 2014 edition. Now that Im approaching 65, Im reading more up-to-date books to see if any new information has been added since then.
I liked reading this book, but felt Philip Moeller makes learning about Medicare more difficult than it needs to be. He uses a lot of scare tactics and extreme stories. He endorses supplemental coverage, but after reading chapters about both Medigap and Medicare Advantage policies, I wasn't sure which he thought was a better approach. I received no guidance or recommendation on those subjects whatsoever.
One new topic I did learn about is called the hold-harmless provision, which states that Social Security benefits payments cannot decrease due to rising Medicare Part B premiums, and a Medicare premium increase is capped at the dollar amount of the Social Security COLA increase. Thats good news for about 70% of Social Security recipients. The bad news is Medicare is still required to collect about 25% of total Part B expenses from somewhere, and they do. That unlucky group includes higher-income beneficiaries who pay IRMAA surcharges, people new to Medicare in a given year, and those who are on Medicare but have not yet begun claiming Social Security. The topic is very relevant to me and for that reason alone made reading this book worthwhile.
I found some value in this book, but it certainly won't be the last one I read before signing up for Medicare. Read everything you can get your hands on about a year before you reach age 65. Even though Mr. Moeller would have you believe the official U.S. government Medicare handbook is impossible to understand, it isn't and its also a very good place to start. Having companion books available while reading it helps a lot. Your local Social Security office may be invaluable as well. Maybe were lucky because we live in a rural area with fewer lines, but the staff there answered all our questions and they were instrumental in making sure my husband filled out his application thoroughly and in a timely fashion.
Mr. Moellers mantra throughout his book is No One Told Me. For that very reason, it pays to read, read, read. I found other sources easier to understand, but I did learn something new from this book too. | amazon_reviews |
The Financial Crisis: Joblessness and Investmentlessness | Financial crises follow a pattern that consists of changes in asset prices, real exchange rates, investment and employment. One noteworthy feature of this pattern is the jobless recoveries that often follow such crises. This was the experience of Finland and Sweden in the aftermath of their financial crises in the early 1990s and currently appears to be the case in the United States and many other countries. The behavior of unemployment during the crises mirrors that of investment, which is consistent with models of the natural rate of unemployment that make labor demand depend on investment in physical capital, new workers and customers. The implication is that the natural rate of unemployment falls during the investment boom that precedes a crisis and rises in its aftermath. | s2orc_title_abstract |

This paper aims at analyzing traveler behavior characteristics and travel demands in urban agglomerations based on segmentation-based travel purposes. A total of 1,488 valid questionnaires obtained from a survey in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration are used in this study. Data show that the main travel purposes include tourism travel, business travel, and personal visiting travel, but commuting travelers are very few. For tourism travel, the annual travel frequency is relatively low, and travelling by buses is their first choice. Car and ordinary train also account for a high proportion. The annual business travel frequency is relatively high. The major means of intercity transportation is high-speed rail. Business travelers prefer to take a taxi as access travel. Besides, punctuality and convenience for working and returning on the same day are highly required. For personal visiting travel, accessibility is most important; so, the predominant transportation mode is an intercity bus. | Joint destination-mode travel choice models are developed for intercity long-distance travel among sixteen cities in Yangtze River Delta Megaregion of China. The model is developed for all the trips in the sample and also by two different trip purposes, work-related business and personal business trips, to accommodate different time values and attraction factors. A nested logit modeling framework is applied to model trip destination and mode choices in two different levels, where the lower level is a mode choice model and the upper level is a destination choice model. The utility values from various travel modes in the lower level are summarized into a composite utility, which is then specified into the destination choice model as an intercity impedance factor. The model is then applied to predict the change in passenger number from Shanghai to Yangzhou between scenarios with and without high-speed rail service to demonstrate the applicability. It is helpful for understanding and modeling megaregional travel destination and mode choice behaviors in the context of developing country. | s2orc_abstract_citation |
Non-Spherical Dust Grains in the Envelopes of Late-Type Giants | AbstractEffects of the grain shape on circumstellar dust dynamics and polarization of stellar radiation are analyzed. The grains are modeled by rotating prolate and oblate spheroids.It is shown that an asymmetry of the geometry of light scattering by non-spherical particles results in a component of the radiation pressure $$ ::: \vec F_{pr} ::: $$ force perpendicular to the wave-vector of incident light. For silicate spheroids, this component can exceed 20 % of $$ ::: |\vec F_{pr} | ::: $$. For small metallic grains, the radiation pressure force for a spheroid can be 5–10 times greater than that for a sphere of the same volume.A simple light scattering consideration demonstrates that the distinction in the scattering geometry of aligned non-spherical grains can explain the observed wavelength variations of the positional angle of polarization. | s2orc_title_abstract |

A method to generate lower bounds for the channel assignment problem is given. The method is based on the reduction of the channel assignment problem to a problem of covering the demand in a cellular network by preassigned blocks of cells called tiles. This tile cover approach is applied to networks with a cosite constraint and two different constraints between cells. A complete family of lower bounds is obtained, which include a number of new bounds that improve or include almost all known clique bounds. When applied to an example from the literature, the new bounds give better results. | Lower bounds for the number of frequencies required by solutions of certain frequency assignment problems are derived. The bounds constitute generalizations of the clique number, which appears in the pure co-channel case, to problems including adjacent channel and co-site constraints as well as preassigned and blocked frequencies. Examples of mobile telephone systems are studied with the aid of these bounds. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

I live in a very small town in Washington State. We have a Middle/High School and an elemenatary. I only have 48 kids in my 7th grade class. In the whole school there is only about 340 kids. I really like going to a small school 'cause I know everybody. So, would you rather go to a BIG school or a small school? | Do you prefer to be a BIG FISH in a little pond or a LITTLE FISH in a big pond?\n\nIf you like to get involved and want to be a part of the school climate/government/activities/etc., go for the small school.

I would like to estimate the optimal weights where weights are all positive and add up to $1$. The most basic problem of this is as follows: Regression $y = \beta_1x_1 + \beta_2x_2$ with constraints $\beta_1 + \beta_2 = 1, \beta_1, \beta_2 > 0$. Try I would make up the following loss, $$ \sum (y_i - \beta_1 x_1 - \beta_2 x_2)^2 + \lambda (\beta_1 + \beta_2 - 1) $$ where $\lambda$ : lagrange multiplier. But I'm not sure this optimization problem is related to any statistical problem. | I see a similar constrained regression here: but my requirement is slightly different. I need the coefficients to add up to 1. Specifically I am regressing the returns of 1 foreign exchange series against 3 other foreign exchange series, so that investors may replace their exposure to that series with a combination of exposure to the other 3, but their cash outlay must not change, and preferably (but this is not mandatory), the coefficients should be positive. I have tried to search for constrained regression in R and Google but with little luck. | stackexchange_body_body |

The effect of culture temperature on urokinase production by HT-1080 cell line was studied in batch culture and hollow fiber reactor. Small-scale t-flask experiments revealed that urokinase production could be enhanced and media utilization could be reduced by lowering the culture temperature in production phase. Urokinase production was scaled up using a hollow fiber perfusion reactor system. Temperature of culture was maintained at the physiological 37 °C during growth phase that extended up to 12 days in hollow fiber bioreactor. Subsequently, in the production phase, culture temperature was lowered to 34 °C. Decrease in culture temperature resulted in a significant increase in urokinase production. Proteolytic degradation and inhibition was also minimized. The medium utilization rate was decreased at lower temperature, and hence, a higher economy of production could be obtained. | Animal cell (Chinese Hamster Ovary) concn. was detd. online in a packed bed process using dielec. spectroscopy. This enabled the evaluation of the effect of temp. on specific metabolic rates during 3 mo of continuous culture. The effect of low cultivation temp. on cell growth and metab. was monitored, and the data were used for process development. At 37 DegC cells grew exponentially with a specific growth rate of 0.038 d-1 and specific glucose uptake and lactate prodn. rates increased continually. Redn. of the temp. to 33.5 DegC resulted in a lowering of these metabolic rates while having no effect on cell proliferation. Subsequent redn. of the temp. to 32 DegC resulted in stabilization of the cell concn. at a high d. (3.6 * 107 cell per mL of packed bed). In addn., the specific prodn. rate of the protein of interest increased by a factor of 6 compared to the value at 37 DegC. During the stationary phase at 32 DegC, all other specific metabolic rates could be controlled to low and const. levels. [on SciFinder (R)] | s2orc_abstract_citation |
Overall pleased with these sketchbooks! | The covers are cardboard which is nice, but the binding isn't fantastic. I think it will hold up well enough, though, especially for the amazing price.
The paper is thick and holds up well with markers [though I keep paper behind the page I'm working on to make sure there's no bleedthrough]. I've used india ink and a bit of watercolor on them and as long as I don't use too much water, the paper is fine with that too!
It was really hard to find sketchbooks with blank covers and few pages and I'm glad I found these. I may stock up on them in the future! | amazon_reviews |
