We have developed a method to label and image myeloid cells infiltrating the mouse retina and choroid in vivo, using a single depot injection of indocyanine green dye (ICG). This was demonstrated using the following ocular models of inflammation and angiogenesis: endotoxin-induced uveitis, experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis and laser-induced choroidal neovascularization model. A near-infrared scanning ophthalmoscope was used for in vivo imaging of the eye, and flow cytometry was used on blood and spleen to assess the number and phenotype of labelled cells. ICG was administered 72 h before the induction of inflammation to ensure clearance from the systemic circulation. We found that in vivo intravenous administration failed to label any leukocytes, whereas depot injection, either intraperitoneal or subcutaneous, was successful in labelling leukocytes infiltrating into the retina. Progression of inflammation in the retina could be traced over a period of 14 days following a single depot injection of ICG. Additionally, bright-field microscopy, spectrophotometry and flow cytometric analysis suggest that the predominant population of cells stained by ICG are circulating myeloid cells. The translation of this approach into clinical practice would enable visualization of immune cells in situ. This will not only provide a greater understanding of pathogenesis, monitoring and assessment of therapy in many human ocular diseases but might also open the ability to image immunity live for neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease and systemic immune-mediated disorders.	PURPOSE. To evaluate new physiologic and three-dimensional methods for monitoring leukocyte behavior in mouse retina. METHODS. Endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) was produced in mice by footpad injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Leukocytes were labeled with acridine orange (AO). Leukocyte rolling in the retinal microcirculation was evaluated in vivo with AO digital fluorography. The number of migrated leukocytes was counted in flatmounted retina. The behavior of leukocyte migration was observed three-dimensionally at the time of peak migration. After leukocytes were labeled with AO, the mice were perfused with rhodamine-labeled concanavalin A lectin to stain the vascular endothelium. Leukocyte migration into the retina was then monitored three-dimensionally with confocal microscopy, and the velocity of the migration was measured. RESULTS. Both leukocyte rolling and migration peaked at 48 hours after LPS injection. Leukocytes were seen to extravasate from the deeper capillary layers and to migrate toward the outer layer of the retina. The traveling velocity of extravasated leukocytes in retinal tissue was 2.0 ± 0.1 μm/h. CONCLUSIONS. New methods have been demonstrated for the three-dimensional and quantitative evaluation of leukocyte behavior in mouse retina.	s2orc_abstract_citation

A cell-less BEM formulation for axisymmetric elastoplasticity via particular integrals	This study deals with the particular integral formulation for purely axisymmetric elastoplastic analysis. The axisymmetric elastostatic equation is used for the complementary solution. The axisymmetric particular integrals for displacement and strain rates are derived by integrating three-dimensional formulation along the circumferential direction leading to elliptic integrals. The particular integrals for stress and traction rates are obtained by using the stress–strain and traction–stress relations. The Newton–Raphson algorithm for the plastic multiplier is used to solve the system equation. The numerical results for four example problems are given and compared with their analytical solutions or those by other BEM and FEM programs to demonstrate the accuracy of the present formulation. Generally, agreement among all of those results is satisfactory.	s2orc_title_abstract
Antifertility agents—synthesis and activity	Basic ethers, 2-phenyl-3-(p-β-dialkylaminoalkoxy)-phenyl 7(H) oxo furanocoumarin(VIa) and 9-methyl analog 2-phenyl-3-(p-β-dialkylaminoalkoxy)-phenyl-9-methyl 7(H) oxo furanocoumarin (VIb) have been synthesised by condensing 2-phenyl-3-p-hydroxyphenyl 7(H) oxo furanocoumarin (Va) and its 9-methyl analog (Vb) with appropriate β-tertiary aminoalkyl halide in acetone-potassium carbonate. Va and Vb were obtained by demethylating the methyl ethers IVa and IVb respectively with pyridine hydrochloride. IVa and IVb themselves were formed from the alkali-induced cyclisation of the ketones IIIa and IIIb. Among the compounds tested for antifertility activity, the basic ethers 12, 14, and 18* were found to have marked anti-implantation properties.	s2orc_title_abstract

Lithium isotopic systematics of A-type granites and their ma fi c enclaves : Further constraints on the Li isotopic composition of the continental crust	article i nfo Lithium concentrations and isotopic compositions of 39 A-type granites and mafic enclaves from 11 plutons in Northeast China and the North China craton are used to constrain their genesis and to characterize further the average composition of the continental crust. Lithium concentrations (2.8 to 80 ppm) in 29 A-type granites are slightly higher than those of average I-type granites and lower than those of average S-type granites, reflecting source differences. Lithium isotopic compositions (δ 7 Li= −1.8 to +6.9) of A-type granites fall within the range of worldwide I-type and S-type granites.

The Joint Directors of Labs Data Fusion Process Model (JDL Model) provides a framework for how to handle sensor ::: data to develop higher levels of inference in a complex environment. Beginning from a call to leverage data fusion ::: techniques in intrusion detection, there have been a number of advances in the use of data fusion algorithms in this subdomain ::: of cyber security. While it is tempting to jump directly to situation-level or threat-level refinement (levels 2 and ::: 3) for more exciting inferences, a proper fusion process starts with lower levels of fusion in order to provide a basis for ::: the higher fusion levels. The process begins with first order entity extraction, or the identification of important entities ::: represented in the sensor data stream. Current cyber security operational tools and their associated data are explored for ::: potential exploitation, identifying the first order entities that exist in the data and the properties of these entities that are ::: described by the data. Cyber events that are represented in the data stream are added to the first order entities as their ::: properties. This work explores typical cyber security data and the inferences that can be made at the lower fusion levels ::: (0 and 1) with simple metrics. Depending on the types of events that are expected by the analyst, these relatively simple ::: metrics can provide insight on their own, or could be used in fusion algorithms as a basis for higher levels of inference.	Sensor fusion using heterogeneous intrusion detection systems are employed to aggregate different views of the same event in order to improve the detection through detector reinforcement or complementarity. The fusion technique proposed in this paper is expected to combine the intrusion detection system outputs with subjective judgements. In this paper, a new evidence model which is an extension and improvement of the classical Dempster-Shafer theory is proposed. The feasibility of this method is demonstrated via an analysis case study with several simulated detectors using the replayed DARPA data set. The experimental results are validated and a discussion on why and how the new model is useful is provided. The result shows an improvement in the probability of detection along with a reduction in the false alarm rate with the proposed fusion algorithm.	s2orc_abstract_citation

The torrential rain saw roads submerged and caused blackouts across Beijing . Residents took to the internet to express their anger over the city's 'flawed' infrastructure . By . Kerry Mcdermott . PUBLISHED: . 11:41 EST, 23 July 2012 . \| . UPDATED: . 11:41 EST, 23 July 2012 . A devastating rainstorm that claimed 37 lives in Beijing over the weekend has raised serious concerns over the Chinese capital's ability to cope with flooding. Beijing was hit with the heaviest downpour seen in the city in 60 years on Saturday, with many roads submerged under waist-deep water for hours. The death toll had reached 37 by Sunday night according to the municipal government, after 25 people drowned, six were killed in cave-ins in houses, five were electrocuted and one was killed by lightening. Deluge: Non-stop rain saw roads turned into rivers in the city, with parts submerged in up to 17 feet of water . Chaos: Cars can be seen floating in floodwaters surrounding a residential building in Beijing, following fierce rainstorms over the weekend . Record rainfall: Two men watch as emergency services try to retrieve a damaged bus left submerged in a flooded car park after storms hit Beijing at the weekend, leaving 37 people dead . Disaster: Cars remain partially submerged in rainwater in the aftermath of heavy storms that hit Beijing, China at the weekend . The rain and flooding caused blackouts and road closures across the city. The Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway was still yet to reopen on Monday as part of it remained submerged. The disaster affected 1.9 million people and caused almost 10 billion yuan (almost £1 billion) of damages, according to state news agency Xinhua. The exact economic loss is still being verified by local governmental departments, according to Beijing flood control and drought relief headquarters. Government officials faced criticism as local people took to the internet to criticise the city's inadequate drainage systems. 'The situation of the sewers reflects the real quality of the city's infrastructure,' one user called Brother Zhang Xiaohua posted on popular micro-blogging site Sina Weibo. Another going by the name of 'Musibo' wrote: 'China has been investing heavily in construction in recent years, and the glossy appearance of the cities is eye-catching. 'However, the huge loss from the rainstorm in Beijing has exposed the flaws of the city's infrastructure, which should raise an alarm for the policy makers.' Wreckage: Flash floods receded to reveal cars left piled up in a ditch in Fangshan district in Beijing at the weekend . Devastation: The rain and flooding in Beijing is estimated to have caused around one billion pounds worth of damages . Swept away: A vehicle washed away by flooding in Fangshan district in Beijing can be glimpsed still partially submerged in the muddy rainwater . Bereft: A Beijing family try and salvage their belongings from their damaged home after a storm wreaked havoc in the city at the weekend . Scenes such as those witnessed in Beijing across the weekend are becoming an all too familiar sight in China this summer, with rainstorms and flooding wreaking havoc in cities including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongquing and Shenzhen. Experts believe the floods are largely down to urbanisation, with vast networks of roads and the elimination of greenbelts reducing some cities' ability to cope with heavy rainfall. Wang Hao, from the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research, said more than 80 per cent of Beijing's roads are covered in impermeable materials like concrete and asphalt - which prevent the infiltration of rain water. But an investigation led by Li Haiyan, a professor at the Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, about half of the city's drainage networks are filled with sediments - with some layers as thick as ten to 15 per cent of the pipes' diameter. Urban flooding: China's flooding problems are not limited to Beijing - this picture shows waterlogged streets in Gaogiao township in Dongxing district in Neijiang, in southwest China's Sichuan province at the weekend . Submerged: This picture taken in Chongqing in southwest China over the weekend shows people wading along a flooded street . Sheng Minzhi, an engineer at the Hangzhou Planning Bureau, said the mass construction of tall buildings and underground parking lots in some Chinese cities had also slowed the rate at which rainwater is absorbed into the ground. Wang Yi, from Beijing's flood control and drought relief headquarters, said the drainage systems in the city's downtown area are for the most part build to withstand rainfall of between 36 and 45 millimetres per hour. Only a few places, such as Tiananmen Square, have a more robust system that can withstand 56 millimetres of rainfall per hour. Wang Zhansheng, an environmental and engineering professor at Tsinghua University, said the flooding would not be so severe if drainage systems were designed to handle more severe rainfalls, adding that the flooding could be avoided if regulations governing urban drainage took population growth, water usage and sewage treatment into consideration. Xu Chenghua, an engineer at the Hangzhou Urban Planning Academy, said storm drainage systems are supposed to be designed in accordance with the Urban Drainage Engineering Planning Regulations approved by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in 2000. A central government group responsible for drafting regulations related to urban drainage engineering gathered on May 18 to discuss the problem of urban flooding. New regulations are expected to be launched next year, according to a source with the group. But experts have pointed out that the reconstruction of the drainage systems would be a very expensive and difficult undertaking. Since the lay-out and the functional structure of the cities are already in shape, renewing the drainage systems to bring them up to the level of developed countries would be hugely costly, according to Wang Hao at the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research. Experts have urged the government to launch a uniform urban flooding drainage standard to guide the urban planning of Chinese cities, Xinhua said.	cnn

Police raided the bistro, arrested two staff members and confiscated some 300 bottles of wine, beer and even Perrier before closing it down . Lafforgue claims he had to ban Pakistanis because serving alcohol to Muslims is illegal while it's legal to serve 'non-Muslim' foreigners .	By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 12:07 EST, 9 January 2014 . \| . UPDATED: . 12:08 EST, 9 January 2014 . A French chef opened a new restaurant in Pakistan - only to then ban any Pakistanis from eating there. Philippe Lafforgue's restaurant specialises in traditional French cuisine with coarse-grained pork sausages, blood pudding and fine wine on his menu. Lafforgue, who moved to the country in 2005, wanted his restaurant to exclusively serve expats wanting to eat non-halal meat and to drink alcohol. But his small bistro 'La Maison' in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad was shut down by police after he banned any Pakistanis from coming in unless joined by a foreigner. Raid: Philippe Lafforgue's restaurant La Maison in Islamabad has been shut down by police after he refused to let Pakistanis dine in his restaurant unless accompanied by a foreigner . He was raided by police after Cyril Almeida, a prominent Pakistani journalist, complained his restaurant was refusing reservations from anyone except 'foreign-passport holders'. After being refused a table, Almeida turned to social media, launching a campaign with the hashtag 'NoToApartheid'. Almeida said: 'It is so obviously offensive and obnoxious... why should a private individual establish a club or an establishment which blocks out the very people of the country it is operating in?' He published the address of 'La Maison' online and then contacted the police, the ministry of the interior and the local member of parliament. Two senior police officials then tried to book a table at the restaurant, which is decorated with ornate carpets and works of art, but they too were refused a table. Lafforgue claims he only barred Pakistanis from his restaurant because the law prohibits the sale of alcohol to Muslims but not to 'non-Muslim foreigners' Officers then raided La Maison, arrested . two local staff and confiscated some 300 bottles of wine, beer and even . Perrier — possibly thinking the sparkling mineral water was champagne - . before shutting the restaurant down. Lafforgue claims he felt he had no choice but to refuse locals entry to his restaurant because serving alcohol to Muslims is illegal. Former socialist prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto banned alcohol in 1977, bowing to pressure from Islamic parties. But authorities allow its sale to non-Muslims, primarily for festive purposes, and 'non-Muslim foreigners'. 'All that I have done was to abide by Pakistani law. If I did something illegal, I would have been condemned by mullahs and visited by the police [earlier],' says Lafforgue, who was previously a chef in France and moved to Pakistan to work as a firework technician. In the diplomatic enclave, a high-security area of the capital which houses most foreign embassies, private restaurants and clubs sell alcohol to foreigners and their Pakistani guests. Many prominent Pakistanis were left outraged by Lafforgue's stance - calling it offensive and obnoxious . The same goes for major hotels around . the country, where foreigners pay handsomely for beer that might come . served in a teapot or coffee cup to allay suspicions. Some posh restaurants operate a 'bring your own booze' rule as long as customers are discreet. Even those who obtain licences are sometimes forced to close for days at a time by the police, who are believed to run extortion rackets. After the raid, which happened on Saturday, Lafforgue was able to retake possession of his establishment. Confident he is in the right, he awaits the release of his two employees and the return of his stock, and hopes to re-open his restaurant — this time by registering it as a 'private club'. Almeida says he doesn’t have a problem with a private club, but says nationality should not be a reason to refuse someone membership. 'Having a membership criteria does not mean you can exclude people on the basis of nationality,' he says.	cnn

An inspiring emotional roller coaster	Mike Norton's book is one that I will always cherish. I went through a whole slew of emotions when reading this book. From empathy, to ridicule, to inspiration and gratification. It is a very inspiring story of an underdog that grew to fight through every barrier put in his place; including malnutrition, abuse, racial insecurity, and utter heartbreak. Mike gives the reader an all-too-often brutally honest look into his deepest insecurities, strengths, and fears. It felt more like reading a diary than a book. Mike bears his heart and soul for the reader at no cost other than his or her attention, and the time to read. One truly tends to feel that they have known Mike very personally and intimately after reading this memoir. I couldn't imagine a better character to befriend. Mike has issues. These are clear to the reader. But it is part of the emotional roller coaster. I felt inspired by his battles, empathetic to his losses, and saddened by his grief. His story is one of attainment, sacrifice, achievement, and destruction. This will sit in my collection of favorite books for years to come. No, I wouldn't pass this one up, it is well worth the time to read.	amazon_reviews
Effects of pump heating on laser and spectroscopic properties of the Nd:[YAl3(BO3)4] self-frequency-doubling laser	In this work, thermal effects on the spectroscopic and laser properties of Nd:YAl3(BO3)4 crystal caused by pump heating are systematically investigated. Changes in the refractive indices, absorption coefficient, and emission band shape have been studied in a temperature range 20–200 °C. Temperatures up to 88 °C have been measured in a thermally isolated crystal when pumping with 800 mW of laser power at 807 nm. A decrease in infrared laser power at 1.06 μm and its second harmonic (0.53 μm) generated by self-frequency doubling is observed during the early seconds of laser operation. These reductions are explained in terms of the absorption efficiency reduction and of thermal phase mismatch (for second harmonic) induced by pump heating. Instabilities observed in the output (infrared and green) laser power during the initial seconds of laser action are satisfactorily explained in terms of Fabry–Perot-induced interference effects.	s2orc_title_abstract

We have developed a method to label and image myeloid cells infiltrating the mouse retina and choroid in vivo, using a single depot injection of indocyanine green dye (ICG). This was demonstrated using the following ocular models of inflammation and angiogenesis: endotoxin-induced uveitis, experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis and laser-induced choroidal neovascularization model. A near-infrared scanning ophthalmoscope was used for in vivo imaging of the eye, and flow cytometry was used on blood and spleen to assess the number and phenotype of labelled cells. ICG was administered 72 h before the induction of inflammation to ensure clearance from the systemic circulation. We found that in vivo intravenous administration failed to label any leukocytes, whereas depot injection, either intraperitoneal or subcutaneous, was successful in labelling leukocytes infiltrating into the retina. Progression of inflammation in the retina could be traced over a period of 14 days following a single depot injection of ICG. Additionally, bright-field microscopy, spectrophotometry and flow cytometric analysis suggest that the predominant population of cells stained by ICG are circulating myeloid cells. The translation of this approach into clinical practice would enable visualization of immune cells in situ. This will not only provide a greater understanding of pathogenesis, monitoring and assessment of therapy in many human ocular diseases but might also open the ability to image immunity live for neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease and systemic immune-mediated disorders.

PURPOSE. To evaluate new physiologic and three-dimensional methods for monitoring leukocyte behavior in mouse retina. METHODS. Endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) was produced in mice by footpad injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Leukocytes were labeled with acridine orange (AO). Leukocyte rolling in the retinal microcirculation was evaluated in vivo with AO digital fluorography. The number of migrated leukocytes was counted in flatmounted retina. The behavior of leukocyte migration was observed three-dimensionally at the time of peak migration. After leukocytes were labeled with AO, the mice were perfused with rhodamine-labeled concanavalin A lectin to stain the vascular endothelium. Leukocyte migration into the retina was then monitored three-dimensionally with confocal microscopy, and the velocity of the migration was measured. RESULTS. Both leukocyte rolling and migration peaked at 48 hours after LPS injection. Leukocytes were seen to extravasate from the deeper capillary layers and to migrate toward the outer layer of the retina. The traveling velocity of extravasated leukocytes in retinal tissue was 2.0 ± 0.1 μm/h. CONCLUSIONS. New methods have been demonstrated for the three-dimensional and quantitative evaluation of leukocyte behavior in mouse retina.

A cell-less BEM formulation for axisymmetric elastoplasticity via particular integrals

This study deals with the particular integral formulation for purely axisymmetric elastoplastic analysis. The axisymmetric elastostatic equation is used for the complementary solution. The axisymmetric particular integrals for displacement and strain rates are derived by integrating three-dimensional formulation along the circumferential direction leading to elliptic integrals. The particular integrals for stress and traction rates are obtained by using the stress–strain and traction–stress relations. The Newton–Raphson algorithm for the plastic multiplier is used to solve the system equation. The numerical results for four example problems are given and compared with their analytical solutions or those by other BEM and FEM programs to demonstrate the accuracy of the present formulation. Generally, agreement among all of those results is satisfactory.

Antifertility agents—synthesis and activity

Basic ethers, 2-phenyl-3-(p-β-dialkylaminoalkoxy)-phenyl 7(H) oxo furanocoumarin(VIa) and 9-methyl analog 2-phenyl-3-(p-β-dialkylaminoalkoxy)-phenyl-9-methyl 7(H) oxo furanocoumarin (VIb) have been synthesised by condensing 2-phenyl-3-p-hydroxyphenyl 7(H) oxo furanocoumarin (Va) and its 9-methyl analog (Vb) with appropriate β-tertiary aminoalkyl halide in acetone-potassium carbonate. Va and Vb were obtained by demethylating the methyl ethers IVa and IVb respectively with pyridine hydrochloride. IVa and IVb themselves were formed from the alkali-induced cyclisation of the ketones IIIa and IIIb. Among the compounds tested for antifertility activity, the basic ethers 12*, 14*, and 18* were found to have marked anti-implantation properties.

Lithium isotopic systematics of A-type granites and their ma fi c enclaves : Further constraints on the Li isotopic composition of the continental crust

article i nfo Lithium concentrations and isotopic compositions of 39 A-type granites and mafic enclaves from 11 plutons in Northeast China and the North China craton are used to constrain their genesis and to characterize further the average composition of the continental crust. Lithium concentrations (2.8 to 80 ppm) in 29 A-type granites are slightly higher than those of average I-type granites and lower than those of average S-type granites, reflecting source differences. Lithium isotopic compositions (δ 7 Li= −1.8 to +6.9) of A-type granites fall within the range of worldwide I-type and S-type granites.

The Joint Directors of Labs Data Fusion Process Model (JDL Model) provides a framework for how to handle sensor ::: data to develop higher levels of inference in a complex environment. Beginning from a call to leverage data fusion ::: techniques in intrusion detection, there have been a number of advances in the use of data fusion algorithms in this subdomain ::: of cyber security. While it is tempting to jump directly to situation-level or threat-level refinement (levels 2 and ::: 3) for more exciting inferences, a proper fusion process starts with lower levels of fusion in order to provide a basis for ::: the higher fusion levels. The process begins with first order entity extraction, or the identification of important entities ::: represented in the sensor data stream. Current cyber security operational tools and their associated data are explored for ::: potential exploitation, identifying the first order entities that exist in the data and the properties of these entities that are ::: described by the data. Cyber events that are represented in the data stream are added to the first order entities as their ::: properties. This work explores typical cyber security data and the inferences that can be made at the lower fusion levels ::: (0 and 1) with simple metrics. Depending on the types of events that are expected by the analyst, these relatively simple ::: metrics can provide insight on their own, or could be used in fusion algorithms as a basis for higher levels of inference.

Sensor fusion using heterogeneous intrusion detection systems are employed to aggregate different views of the same event in order to improve the detection through detector reinforcement or complementarity. The fusion technique proposed in this paper is expected to combine the intrusion detection system outputs with subjective judgements. In this paper, a new evidence model which is an extension and improvement of the classical Dempster-Shafer theory is proposed. The feasibility of this method is demonstrated via an analysis case study with several simulated detectors using the replayed DARPA data set. The experimental results are validated and a discussion on why and how the new model is useful is provided. The result shows an improvement in the probability of detection along with a reduction in the false alarm rate with the proposed fusion algorithm.

The rain and flooding caused blackouts and road closures across the city. The Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway was still yet to reopen on Monday as part of it remained submerged. The disaster affected 1.9 million people and caused almost 10 billion yuan (almost £1 billion) of damages, according to state news agency Xinhua. The exact economic loss is still being verified by local governmental departments, according to Beijing flood control and drought relief headquarters. Government officials faced criticism as local people took to the internet to criticise the city's inadequate drainage systems. 'The situation of the sewers reflects the real quality of the city's infrastructure,' one user called Brother Zhang Xiaohua posted on popular micro-blogging site Sina Weibo. Another going by the name of 'Musibo' wrote: 'China has been investing heavily in construction in recent years, and the glossy appearance of the cities is eye-catching. 'However, the huge loss from the rainstorm in Beijing has exposed the flaws of the city's infrastructure, which should raise an alarm for the policy makers.' Wreckage: Flash floods receded to reveal cars left piled up in a ditch in Fangshan district in Beijing at the weekend . Devastation: The rain and flooding in Beijing is estimated to have caused around one billion pounds worth of damages . Swept away: A vehicle washed away by flooding in Fangshan district in Beijing can be glimpsed still partially submerged in the muddy rainwater . Bereft: A Beijing family try and salvage their belongings from their damaged home after a storm wreaked havoc in the city at the weekend . Scenes such as those witnessed in Beijing across the weekend are becoming an all too familiar sight in China this summer, with rainstorms and flooding wreaking havoc in cities including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongquing and Shenzhen. Experts believe the floods are largely down to urbanisation, with vast networks of roads and the elimination of greenbelts reducing some cities' ability to cope with heavy rainfall. Wang Hao, from the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research, said more than 80 per cent of Beijing's roads are covered in impermeable materials like concrete and asphalt - which prevent the infiltration of rain water. But an investigation led by Li Haiyan, a professor at the Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, about half of the city's drainage networks are filled with sediments - with some layers as thick as ten to 15 per cent of the pipes' diameter. Urban flooding: China's flooding problems are not limited to Beijing - this picture shows waterlogged streets in Gaogiao township in Dongxing district in Neijiang, in southwest China's Sichuan province at the weekend . Submerged: This picture taken in Chongqing in southwest China over the weekend shows people wading along a flooded street . Sheng Minzhi, an engineer at the Hangzhou Planning Bureau, said the mass construction of tall buildings and underground parking lots in some Chinese cities had also slowed the rate at which rainwater is absorbed into the ground. Wang Yi, from Beijing's flood control and drought relief headquarters, said the drainage systems in the city's downtown area are for the most part build to withstand rainfall of between 36 and 45 millimetres per hour. Only a few places, such as Tiananmen Square, have a more robust system that can withstand 56 millimetres of rainfall per hour. Wang Zhansheng, an environmental and engineering professor at Tsinghua University, said the flooding would not be so severe if drainage systems were designed to handle more severe rainfalls, adding that the flooding could be avoided if regulations governing urban drainage took population growth, water usage and sewage treatment into consideration. Xu Chenghua, an engineer at the Hangzhou Urban Planning Academy, said storm drainage systems are supposed to be designed in accordance with the Urban Drainage Engineering Planning Regulations approved by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in 2000. A central government group responsible for drafting regulations related to urban drainage engineering gathered on May 18 to discuss the problem of urban flooding. New regulations are expected to be launched next year, according to a source with the group. But experts have pointed out that the reconstruction of the drainage systems would be a very expensive and difficult undertaking. Since the lay-out and the functional structure of the cities are already in shape, renewing the drainage systems to bring them up to the level of developed countries would be hugely costly, according to Wang Hao at the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research. Experts have urged the government to launch a uniform urban flooding drainage standard to guide the urban planning of Chinese cities, Xinhua said.

After reading reviews suggesting that it may be better to go with a size smaller than normal because the shirts may run large, I did that and determined that it's probably bad advice. I wish I would've ordered the exact size I normally wear because there was enough shrinkage on washing that it is now a little too snug. The overall quality of the shirt is decent, but I think there's room for improvement.

RESEARCH ON FAULT DETECTION METHOD OF SATELLITE ATTITUDE DETERMINATION SYSTEM BASED ON MULTI-SENSORS

Under the gyro-less condition a decentralized filter is designed to fuse information from the star sensor, the digital sun sensor and the digital earth sensor which compose the satellite attitude determination system. Then the estimated angular rate information is gained. On the basis of this, a fault detection method with weighted sum-squared residual (WSSR) is presented. Comparing with Chi-square test method, the computer simulation results show that WSSR method could detect both abrupt and slow change fault of sensors more effectively.

Choosing a motor to lift window blinds I'm looking to raise my blinds every morning using an rpi/Arduino and a motor. The blinds are lifted by a cord that loops near the bottom. I've checked that the cord requires about 20N force to pull down, and the gear turning the cord loop at bottom will have a diameter of 6 cm. Which motor should I buy? Min torque needed ~ 20*3 = 60 Ncm. Min speed ~ 20 rpm

Using electric motor to adjust blinds? So I'm trying to do some insane home DIY with my room blinds. I'm trying to make them adjust (go up and down) automatically. Now for this, obviously, I will need a motor. The blinds I'm working with don't require much strength to pull down, but a fair bit to pull them up (using the little string/cord), So I'll need something fairly powerful, but slow. I'm taking a look at a few gear motors on site, but I have no idea which one would be right to use for this kind of task. Could anyone help me out?

Philippe Lafforgue's bistro La Maison serves French specialties and wine . He banned all Pakistanis from dining there unless accompanied by a foreigner . Police raided the bistro, arrested two staff members and confiscated some 300 bottles of wine, beer and even Perrier before closing it down . Lafforgue claims he had to ban Pakistanis because serving alcohol to Muslims is illegal while it's legal to serve 'non-Muslim' foreigners .

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 12:07 EST, 9 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 12:08 EST, 9 January 2014 . A French chef opened a new restaurant in Pakistan - only to then ban any Pakistanis from eating there. Philippe Lafforgue's restaurant specialises in traditional French cuisine with coarse-grained pork sausages, blood pudding and fine wine on his menu. Lafforgue, who moved to the country in 2005, wanted his restaurant to exclusively serve expats wanting to eat non-halal meat and to drink alcohol. But his small bistro 'La Maison' in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad was shut down by police after he banned any Pakistanis from coming in unless joined by a foreigner. Raid: Philippe Lafforgue's restaurant La Maison in Islamabad has been shut down by police after he refused to let Pakistanis dine in his restaurant unless accompanied by a foreigner . He was raided by police after Cyril Almeida, a prominent Pakistani journalist, complained his restaurant was refusing reservations from anyone except 'foreign-passport holders'. After being refused a table, Almeida turned to social media, launching a campaign with the hashtag 'NoToApartheid'. Almeida said: 'It is so obviously offensive and obnoxious... why should a private individual establish a club or an establishment which blocks out the very people of the country it is operating in?' He published the address of 'La Maison' online and then contacted the police, the ministry of the interior and the local member of parliament. Two senior police officials then tried to book a table at the restaurant, which is decorated with ornate carpets and works of art, but they too were refused a table. Lafforgue claims he only barred Pakistanis from his restaurant because the law prohibits the sale of alcohol to Muslims but not to 'non-Muslim foreigners' Officers then raided La Maison, arrested . two local staff and confiscated some 300 bottles of wine, beer and even . Perrier — possibly thinking the sparkling mineral water was champagne - . before shutting the restaurant down. Lafforgue claims he felt he had no choice but to refuse locals entry to his restaurant because serving alcohol to Muslims is illegal. Former socialist prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto banned alcohol in 1977, bowing to pressure from Islamic parties. But authorities allow its sale to non-Muslims, primarily for festive purposes, and 'non-Muslim foreigners'. 'All that I have done was to abide by Pakistani law. If I did something illegal, I would have been condemned by mullahs and visited by the police [earlier],' says Lafforgue, who was previously a chef in France and moved to Pakistan to work as a firework technician. In the diplomatic enclave, a high-security area of the capital which houses most foreign embassies, private restaurants and clubs sell alcohol to foreigners and their Pakistani guests. Many prominent Pakistanis were left outraged by Lafforgue's stance - calling it offensive and obnoxious . The same goes for major hotels around . the country, where foreigners pay handsomely for beer that might come . served in a teapot or coffee cup to allay suspicions. Some posh restaurants operate a 'bring your own booze' rule as long as customers are discreet. Even those who obtain licences are sometimes forced to close for days at a time by the police, who are believed to run extortion rackets. After the raid, which happened on Saturday, Lafforgue was able to retake possession of his establishment. Confident he is in the right, he awaits the release of his two employees and the return of his stock, and hopes to re-open his restaurant — this time by registering it as a 'private club'. Almeida says he doesn’t have a problem with a private club, but says nationality should not be a reason to refuse someone membership. 'Having a membership criteria does not mean you can exclude people on the basis of nationality,' he says.

An inspiring emotional roller coaster

Mike Norton's book is one that I will always cherish. I went through a whole slew of emotions when reading this book. From empathy, to ridicule, to inspiration and gratification. It is a very inspiring story of an underdog that grew to fight through every barrier put in his place; including malnutrition, abuse, racial insecurity, and utter heartbreak. Mike gives the reader an all-too-often brutally honest look into his deepest insecurities, strengths, and fears. It felt more like reading a diary than a book. Mike bears his heart and soul for the reader at no cost other than his or her attention, and the time to read. One truly tends to feel that they have known Mike very personally and intimately after reading this memoir. I couldn't imagine a better character to befriend. Mike has issues. These are clear to the reader. But it is part of the emotional roller coaster. I felt inspired by his battles, empathetic to his losses, and saddened by his grief. His story is one of attainment, sacrifice, achievement, and destruction. This will sit in my collection of favorite books for years to come. No, I wouldn't pass this one up, it is well worth the time to read.

Effects of pump heating on laser and spectroscopic properties of the Nd:[YAl3(BO3)4] self-frequency-doubling laser

In this work, thermal effects on the spectroscopic and laser properties of Nd:YAl3(BO3)4 crystal caused by pump heating are systematically investigated. Changes in the refractive indices, absorption coefficient, and emission band shape have been studied in a temperature range 20–200 °C. Temperatures up to 88 °C have been measured in a thermally isolated crystal when pumping with 800 mW of laser power at 807 nm. A decrease in infrared laser power at 1.06 μm and its second harmonic (0.53 μm) generated by self-frequency doubling is observed during the early seconds of laser operation. These reductions are explained in terms of the absorption efficiency reduction and of thermal phase mismatch (for second harmonic) induced by pump heating. Instabilities observed in the output (infrared and green) laser power during the initial seconds of laser action are satisfactorily explained in terms of Fabry–Perot-induced interference effects.
