https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma%20Geopark | Magma Geopark is the second Geopark to be designated in Norway, having gained membership of both the European Geoparks Network and Global Network of National Geoparks in 2010. In November 2016 UNESCO established the new International Geoscience and Geoparks Programme and the UNESCO Global Geopark are part of it. Magma Geopark has an area of 2,329 km² based on the largest layered intrusion and anorthosite area found in Europe and it is situated in southwest Norway in the municipalities of Bjerkreim, Eigersund, Flekkefjord, Lund and Sokndal.
1,500 million years ago, the region had a landscape of red-hot magma and high mountains. Through millions of years, glaciers helped to form the landscape we see in the area today. The main rock type is anorthosite, which is more common on the Moon than on the surface of the Earth.
Magma Geopark has several nature, cultural, historical and industrial attractions for both local visitors or tourists. The area has wide network routes and locations for outdoor activities, such as hiking, biking, climbing and kayaking.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekend%20Today%20%28Australian%20TV%20program%29 | Weekend Today is an Australian breakfast television program, hosted by Clint Stanaway and Jayne Azzopardi.
It has been broadcast live by the Nine Network since 2009 and airs after children's programming and runs from 7am to 10am on weekends. The show is broadcast from the Nine Network studios in North Sydney, a suburb located on the North Shore of Sydney, New South Wales.
History
In January 2009, David Gyngell, chief executive of the Nine Network and John Westacott, former head of news and current affairs announced that Today would begin broadcasting on Sunday mornings. The program entitled, Today on Sunday, competes in the same timeslot as the Seven Network's Weekend Sunrise, which dominates Sunday morning television nationally, except on the east coast. The show launched on 1 February 2009 and the original team consisted of Cameron Williams and Leila McKinnon with the news presented by Amber Sherlock and the sport was presented by Tim Gilbert on Saturday and Michael Slater on Sunday.
On 2 May 2009, after the launch of Today on Sunday, the Nine Network announced through a surprise edition that Today on Saturday would return. The program incorporates the same presenting team as the Sunday edition, being the first Australian breakfast news program to broadcast seven days a week. Due to the launch of the Saturday version of the program, the Nine Network renamed the programs as Today: Weekend Edition. David Gyngell said the launch of the Weekend editions were a part of the Nine Network's plans to strengthen its news and current affairs department and return viewers to its once leading news service. In July 2009, Today: Weekend Edition was rebranded as Weekend Today.
In September 2012, Weekend Today was extended to 3 hours on Saturday mornings.
In September 2014, Deborah Knight permanently replaced Leila McKinnon as co-host of the show; following McKinnon's move to the News Department.
In February 2016, Cameron Williams announced his resignation from the Nine Network. Peter Stefanovic took over as co-host.
In November 2016, Peter Stefanovic announced that he would be moving to 60 Minutes in 2017 as a reporter. Tom Steinfort has been announced as Stefanovic's replacement.
In December 2017, Knight was appointed as host of Nine News Sydney on Friday and Saturday nights. She replaced Georgie Gardner who replaced Lisa Wilkinson on Today. It was later announced that 60 Minutes reporter Allison Langdon would replace Knight on Weekend Today. Peter Stefanovic also returned as host replacing Tom Steinfort who will become a reporter on 60 Minutes.
In December 2018, it was announced that Peter Stefanovic had parted ways with the Nine Network to pursue other opportunities. In January 2019, Today Extra host David Campbell was appointed as Stefanvoic's replacement. Clint Stanaway also joined the team as a sport presenter and Tim Davies as weather presenter.
In November 2019, the Nine Network announced that Karl Stefanovic would return to the show as co-h |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel%20Lazard | Daniel Lazard (born December 10, 1941) is a French mathematician and computer scientist. He is emeritus professor at Pierre and Marie Curie University.
Career
Daniel Lazard was born in Carpentras, in southern France. His undergraduate education was at the École Normale Supérieure. Following graduate work at the École Normale Supérieure and the University of Paris, he was granted a doctorat d'état in 1968 by the University of Paris. His dissertation was supervised by the commutative algebraist Pierre Samuel, and was titled "Autour de la platitude" ("Around flatness", or literally "Around the platitude").
After 1970, his main area of research changed to computer algebra, particularly multivariate polynomials, computational algebraic geometry and systems of polynomial equations. To mark his retirement at the end of 2004, there was a conference at Pierre and Marie Curie University devoted to his subject area. In 2009, a special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation was published in his honor. To date, Lazard has authored or co-authored more than 40 journal articles, book chapters, conference papers, and other publications.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON-LD | JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is a method of encoding linked data using JSON. One goal for JSON-LD was to require as little effort as possible from developers to transform their existing JSON to JSON-LD. JSON-LD allows data to be serialized in a way that is similar to traditional JSON. It was initially developed by the JSON for Linking Data Community Group before being transferred to the RDF Working Group for review, improvement, and standardization, and is currently maintained by the JSON-LD Working Group. JSON-LD is a World Wide Web Consortium Recommendation.
Design
JSON-LD is designed around the concept of a "context" to provide additional mappings from JSON to an RDF model. The context links object properties in a JSON document to concepts in an ontology. In order to map the JSON-LD syntax to RDF, JSON-LD allows values to be coerced to a specified type or to be tagged with a language. A context can be embedded directly in a JSON-LD document or put into a separate file and referenced from different documents (from traditional JSON documents via an HTTP Link header).
Example
{
"@context": {
"name": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name",
"homepage": {
"@id": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/workplaceHomepage",
"@type": "@id"
},
"Person": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person"
},
"@id": "https://me.example.com",
"@type": "Person",
"name": "John Smith",
"homepage": "https://www.example.com/"
}
The example above describes a person, based on the FOAF (friend of a friend) ontology. First, the two JSON properties name and homepage and the type Person are mapped to concepts in the FOAF vocabulary and the value of the homepage property is specified to be of the type @id. In other words, the homepage id is specified to be an IRI in the context definition. Based on the RDF model, this allows the person described in the document to be unambiguously identified by an IRI. The use of resolvable IRIs allows RDF documents containing more information to be transcluded which enables clients to discover new data by simply following those links; this principle is known as Follow Your Nose.
By having all data semantically annotated as in the example, an RDF processor can identify that the document contains information about a person (@type) and if the processor understands the FOAF vocabulary it can determine which properties specify the person’s name and homepage.
Use
The encoding is used by Schema.org, Google Knowledge Graph, and used mostly for search engine optimization activities. It has also been used for applications such as biomedical informatics, and representing provenance information. It is also the basis of Activity Streams, a format for "the exchange of information about potential and completed activities", and is used in ActivityPub, the federated social networking protocol. Additionally, it is used in the context of Internet of Things (IoT), where a Thing Description, which is a JSON-LD document, |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20SIMILE%20projects | The following is a list of SIMILE projects.
The SIMILE tools assist in the storage, querying, transformation and mapping of very large collections of RDF data. The tools developed within SIMILE are meant to allow people who are not Semantic Web developers to create ontologies which describe their specialized metadata, create RDF and convert other types of metadata into RDF. These open source tools are designed to be scalable and provide for cross-community sharing of metadata at low cost.
Longwell
Longwell is a faceted browser which enables the user to visualize and browse any RDF data set, allowing the user to quickly build a user-friendly web site out of the RDF data without requiring the user to write any RDF code. Facets are metadata fields considered important for a given data set. In its default configuration, the collection of facets is returned along the right-hand side of the page, and clicking on any facet causes the refinement of facets in relation to the data retrieved. Longwell then displays only the subset of the data which meet those restrictions. This appears on the left-hand side of the page. Previously selected restrictions can be removed, which causes a broadening of the subset of items displayed.
Piggy Bank
Piggy Bank is a Firefox extension which enables the user to collect information from the Web, save it for future use, tag it with keywords, search and browse information collected, retrieve saved information, share collected information and install screen scrapers. Piggy Bank gathers RDF data where it is available, and where it is not available, it generates it from HTML by using screen scrapers. This incremental approach to the realization of the Semantic Web vision allows the user to save and tag information gathered from web pages without having to cut, paste and label the various products of their browsing. By clicking on the keyword they have used to tag particular types of item, the user can view all of those items together within her browser, without having to open other applications. Users can also deposit saved data in the Semantic Bank, where other users can browse it and add their own contributions. This pooling of keywords underlies services such as Flickr and del.icio.us, where communities can collaborate to build a taxonomy for shared data. These taxonomies, which emerge as information is accumulated, are known as folksonomies.
Solvent
Solvent is a Firefox extension that enables the user to write screen scrapers for Piggy Bank.
Gadget
Gadget is an XML inspector which enables the user to condense large amounts of well-formed XML data.
Welkin
Welkin is a graph-based RDF visualizer. It graphs RDF data sets, allowing the user to visualize the global shape and clustering characteristics of the data, which can aid them in mentally modeling it, seeing how it connects and identifying mappings between the set and possible ontologies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed%20transport%20developments%20in%20Bristol | This article lists proposed developments to transport in Bristol, England.
MetroBus
In 2018, expansion of Bristol's MetroBus network was under consideration by the West of England Combined Authority.
Bristol Airport expansion
Plans to increase the airport's capacity from 10 million passengers per year to 12 million were refused permission by North Somerset Council in 2020, among criticism of effects of the proposals on the environment.
MetroWest
The MetroWest scheme, previously known as The Greater Bristol Metro, is a proposal to improve the rail services in Greater Bristol. It was first proposed at First Great Western's Stakeholder Event in March 2008, and received political backing in 2012. The scheme includes the reopening of the Portishead Line, and increasing train frequency on the Severn Beach Line as part of phase 1; and the reopening of the Henbury line and increasing train services to Yate in phase 2.
Light rail or rapid transit
In November 2016, the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership began a consultation process on their Transport Vision Summary Document, outlining potential light rail/tram routes from the city centre to Bristol Airport, the eastern and north west fringes of the city, and a route along the A4 road to Bath.
In July 2017 a leaked draft of that document, due to be published in October 2017, suggested an underground rail network around the most built-up areas of the city as one of many solutions to congestion equating to £8.9billion. In September 2017, incumbent mayor, Marvin Rees vocally supported the creation of an underground line in the city. The service would run from Bristol Airport to Temple Meads, the centre and north of Bristol and then to Cribbs Causeway, and would cost an estimated at £2.5bn. The city council commissioned a £50,000 study to determine the financial viability of the project and Rees has suggested £3m for a geological survey.
As of 2019, four mass transit lines are proposed (with technology type and exact routes to be determined):
Bristol to Airport – connecting the city centre, South Bristol, and the Airport.
Bristol to North Fringe – connecting the city centre, North Bristol, Southmead Hospital, Cribbs Causeway.
Bristol to East Fringe – connecting the city centre, East Fringe and East Bristol.
M4 Junction at Emersons Green
It has been long proposed for there to be a motorway junction linking the A4174 road (Avon ring road) to the M4 motorway near to Emersons Green as they pass very close. In 2010 this attracted support from the Kingswood MP.
Great Western Main Line electrification
The first plans to electrify the Great Western line, announced in 2009, included the route to Temple Meads via Chippenham as well as the connecting line between Temple Meads and the South Wales Main Line at Bristol Parkway. Electrification of the South Wales line as far as Cardiff was completed in 2019, but in 2016 the government indefinitely delayed work on the Chippenham route and the Parkway |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20furnace | The data furnace is a method of heating residential homes or offices by running computers in them, which release considerable amounts of waste heat. Data furnaces can theoretically be cheaper than storing computers in huge data centers because the higher cost of electricity in residential areas (when compared to industrial zones) can be offset by charging the home owner for the heat that the data center gives off. Some large companies that store and process thousands of gigabytes of data believe that data furnaces could be cheaper because there would be little to no overhead costs. The cost of a traditional data storage center is up to around $400 per server, whereas the overhead cost per server of a home data furnace is around $10. Individuals had already begun using computers as a heat source by 2011.
Usefulness
The first kind of data furnace (DF) could be a low cost seasonal DF. This kind of DF would use an existing broadband connection to perform delay-tolerant jobs such as content indexing or the processing of large sets of scientific data. The server will only come on and start heating and processing when the house needs heat. The second kind of DF would be the low bandwidth neighborhood DF. This option can provide faster computations as it can run at all times, but this increases the risk of overheating. To get around this problem there may be vents to the outside added to the server racks to get rid of some of the unneeded heat. The third option would be an eco-friendly urban DF. This option, much like the second, runs year round and can vent excess heat to the outside. This would be an advantage for service providers to expand into urban areas more quickly, so long as the applications scale to the number of servers. This option causes a new challenge, because since it runs year round, the cost of electricity to run the servers cannot be offset by billing the home owners for the heat that they use as it will be little to none.
Energy requirements
For a data furnace heating water, the heating needs to be at least 56°C/ 133°F to prevent the development of pathogens while limiting the risks of skin. Regarding space heating radiators, a temperature of 50-60°C/122-140°F is suitable for a radiator embedding processors as long as the heating surface is of significant size to dissipate the heat.
Security
There are concerns about the security of these servers, as they would be stored on private properties unmonitored. Unlike traditional data centers that are constantly monitored, data furnaces should be treated as the most insecure environment for data storage. For the best security, each server would have a device to prevent tampering. Furthermore, all of the data on these servers would have to be encrypted so that no one except the person requesting the data would have access to it.
Applications
A few companies around the world are commercialising this concept around the world. A German company Cloud&Heat offers hot water heated by a distr |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content%20Security%20Policy | Content Security Policy (CSP) is a computer security standard introduced to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking and other code injection attacks resulting from execution of malicious content in the trusted web page context. It is a Candidate Recommendation of the W3C working group on Web Application Security, widely supported by modern web browsers. CSP provides a standard method for website owners to declare approved origins of content that browsers should be allowed to load on that website—covered types are JavaScript, CSS, HTML frames, web workers, fonts, images, embeddable objects such as Java applets, ActiveX, audio and video files, and other HTML5 features.
Status
The standard, originally named Content Restrictions, was proposed by Robert Hansen in 2004, first implemented in Firefox 4 and quickly picked up by other browsers. Version 1 of the standard was published in 2012 as W3C candidate recommendation and quickly with further versions (Level 2) published in 2014. , the draft of Level 3 is being developed with the new features being quickly adopted by the web browsers.
The following header names are in use as part of experimental CSP implementations:
Content-Security-Policy – standard header name proposed by the W3C document. Google Chrome supports this as of version 25. Firefox supports this as of version 23, released on 6 August 2013. WebKit supports this as of version 528 (nightly build). Chromium-based Microsoft Edge support is similar to Chrome's.
X-WebKit-CSP – deprecated, experimental header introduced into Google Chrome, Safari and other WebKit-based web browsers in 2011.
X-Content-Security-Policy – deprecated, experimental header introduced in Gecko 2 based browsers (Firefox 4 to Firefox 22, Thunderbird 3.3, SeaMonkey 2.1).
A website can declare multiple CSP headers, also mixing enforcement and report-only ones. Each header will be processed separately by the browser.
CSP can also be delivered within the HTML code using a HTML META tag, although in this case its effectiveness will be limited.
Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11 also support CSP, but only sandbox directive, using the experimental X-Content-Security-Policy header.
A number of web application frameworks support CSP, for example AngularJS (natively) and Django (middleware). Instructions for Ruby on Rails have been posted by GitHub. Web framework support is however only required if the CSP contents somehow depend on the web application's state—such as usage of the nonce origin. Otherwise, the CSP is rather static and can be delivered from web application tiers above the application, for example on load balancer or web server.
Bypasses
In December 2015 and December 2016, a few methods of bypassing 'nonce' allowlisting origins were published. In January 2016, another method was published, which leverages server-wide CSP allowlisting to exploit old and vulnerable versions of JavaScript libraries hosted at the same server (frequent cas |

It is the sister of the networks Talk TV, ETC, 2nd Avenue, Universal Channel, Jack TV, Basketball TV, Solar Sports, The Game Channel (which formerly used its evening airtime block) and Diva Universal. It was formerly available over and also broadcast via BEAM Channel 31 (free TV). Launched on December 24, 2011, its programming was focused on suspense, science fiction, and drama series (the same as the defunct C/S). It dissolved its operations on October 19, 2012 as it had been replaced by Jack City, the secondary network channel of Jack TV, although some of its programs are still carried over by said network station channel.
History
The Game Channel & CHASE
Formerly when it started its launch, Chase is broadcast every night after The Game Channel, which limited its broadcast on mornings and afternoons.
CHASE goes 24 and Jack CITY
On the later part of February 2012, all programs of CHASE were marked by an investigator note, located at the lower-left side of the TV screens, where it was written that CHASE goes 24. After that event, The Game Channel then bid goodbye to viewers of BEAM Channel 31 after 7 months of broadcasting on free TV, and decided to move its operations on cable. CHASE then remained on BEAMtv 31 and took its 24-hour broadcast on free TV. Some programs of CHASE are partly seen from its sister TV network on cable, JackTV.
On September 7, 2012, Jack TV plugged their announcement through CHASE programs bearing the title "Another Jack TV is rising, coming soon on this channel" (BEAM Channel 31). This indicated that CHASE was being replaced; finally, on October 20, 2012, Jack City was then launched, marking October 19 as the end of CHASE's broadcasts. Jack City still does carry some of CHASE's programs however.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap%21%20%28programming%20language%29 | Snap! (formerly Build Your Own Blocks) is a free block-based educational graphical programming language and online community allowing students to explore, create, and remix interactive animations, games, stories, and more, while learning about mathematical and computational ideas. While inspired by Scratch, Snap! has many advanced features. The Snap! editor, and programs created in it, are web applications that run in the browser (like Scratch 3) without requiring installation. It is built on top of Morphic.js, a Morphic GUI, written by Jens Mönig as 'middle layer' between Snap! itself and 'bare' JavaScript.
User interface
In Snap!, the screen is organized in three resizable columns containing five regions: the block group selector (top of left column), the blocks palette (left column), the main area (middle column), and the stage area (top of right column) with the sprite selector (also called the sprite corral) showing sprite thumbnails below it.
In the interactively resizable stage area are shown the graphical results of the scripts running in the script area and/or interactively double-clicked individual blocks in any palette. Individual blocks can be dragged from the palette onto the scripts area to be associated with the selected sprite.
Snap!'''s blocks are divided into eight groups: Motion, Looks, Sound, Pen, Control, Sensing, Operators, and Variables. The layout of these groups in the block group selector is shown in the table below.
The central area can show scripts, costumes/backdrops, or sounds associated with the selected sprite. What that area shows depends on the selected tab.
Features
The most important features that Snap! offers, but Scratch does not, include:
Expressions using anonymous functions, represented by a block inside a gray ring, having one or more empty slot(s)/argument(s) that are filled by a "higher order function" (the one that is calling the anonymous one). (Their computer-science theoretical basis is first class functions, which in turn have lambda calculus as their even more abstract and mathematical foundation)
Lists that are first class (including lists of lists/arrays)
First class sprites (or in other words, prototype-oriented instance-based classless object programming)
"Hyperblocks": functions whose natural domain is scalars (text or numbers), extended to accept lists as inputs and apply the underlying function to the scalars in the list or a sublist
Nestable sprites
Codification of Snap! programs to text languages such as Python, JavaScript, C, etc.
Metaprogramming, reflection, and macros
Mascot
Alonzo, the mascot of Snap!, bears the name of Alonzo Church, the inventor of a model of computation in which a universal function, represented by lambda, can create any function behavior by calling it on itself in various combinations. The mascot is a modified version of Gobo from Scratch. Because Alonzo Church's work is called lambda calculus, the mascot's hair is shaped as the Greek letter lambda.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JTBC | JTBC (shortened from Joongang Tongyang Broadcasting Company (; stylized as jtbc) is a South Korean nationwide pay television network. Its primary shareholder is JoongAng Holdings, with a 25% stake. It was launched on 1 December 2011. JTBC is a generalist channel, with programming consisting of television series, variety shows, and news broadcasting; its news division is held in similar regard to the three main terrestrial networks in South Korea.
JTBC was one of four new South Korean nationwide generalist cable TV networks alongside Dong-A Ilbo's Channel A, Chosun Ilbo's TV Chosun and Maeil Kyungje's MBN launch in 2011, to serve as supplementary networks to the existing conventional free-to-air TV networks like KBS, MBC, SBS and other smaller channels launched following deregulation in 1990.
History
The JoongAng Ilbo, which used to be a part of the Samsung, had owned a TV station before. In 1964 it founded the Tongyang Broadcasting Corporation (TBC) and ran the network for 16 years. In 1980, however TBC was forcibly merged with the state-run KBS by the military regime of Chun Doo-hwan. At its founding in 2011 some media analysts considered the return of JoongAng Ilbo to television in JTBC as the reincarnation of TBC. JoongAng Ilbo wanted to reuse name Tongyang Broadcasting Corporation, but failed because of Taegu Broadcasting Corporation, which has rights of TBC in South Korea since 1994.
Timeline
26 June 1964: Tongyang Broadcasting Corporation was launched.
7 December 1964: TBC-TV Started broadcasting on channel 7.
30 November 1980: TBC-TV merged with KBS Television by the special law of Chun Doo-hwan, president of military authorities, resulting in the launching of KBS 2TV.
22 July 2009: Amendment of the Media law passed the national assembly to deregulate the media market of South Korea.
It was a response of the South Korean government to the Chojoongdong (Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, and Dong-A Ilbo), who were the major media conglomerates, aim to launch the cable market.
31 December 2010: JTBC, TV Chosun, MBN, Channel A selected as General Cable Television Channel Broadcasters.
11 March 2011: JoongAng Ilbo established JTBC corporation.
1 December 2011: JTBC (Joongang Tongyang Broadcasting Company) (Channel number 15) started broadcasting.
May 2013: Former MBC news anchor Sohn Suk-hee was designated as JTBC's new president for its news division.
January 2015: JTBC constructs a new building in Digital Media City in Sangam-dong, Seoul.
November 2018: Sohn Suk-hee is promoted to JTBC's president and CEO.
June 2019: JTBC acquired the Korean rights to the Olympic Games from 2026 to 2032.
April 2020: JTBC moves their newscasts to Creation Hall, starting with JTBC Newsroom, with its other programs following suit on 18 May.
June 2021: JTBC buys a majority stake on wiip from CAA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioSamples | BioSamples (BioSD) is a database at European Bioinformatics Institute for the information about the biological samples used in sequencing.
It stores submitter-supplied metadata about the biological materials from which data stored in the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s (NCBI) primary data archives are derived. NCBI’s archives hosts data pertaining to diverse types of samples from many species, and as such the BioSample database is similarly diverse. Examples of a BioSample include a primary tissue biopsy, an individual organism or an environmental isolate.
The BioSamples database captures sample metadata in a structured way by encouraging use of controlled sample attribute field name vocabularies. This metadata is key in giving the sample data context, allowing it to be more fully understood, reused, and enables aggregation of disparate data sets.
Sample metadata is linked to relevant experimental data across many archival databases relieving submitter burden by enabling one-time submission of sample description. They then can reference that sample, when necessary, when making data deposits to other archives.
BioSample records are indexed and searchable, supporting cross-database queries by sample description.
History
The BioSamples database was launched in 2011 to help aggregate and standardise sample metadata. Historically, each archive had created its own convention for sample metadata collection. These usually were limited in their standardisation and had no method to indicate when the a sample was used across multiple data sets.
In addition to this, there is a growing awareness amongst the research community that sample metadata is vital for understanding the underlying data. Further, chances for re-use, aggregation and integration of data are increased with improved metadata.
The database was initially populated with existing descriptions extracted from SRA, EST, GSS and dbGaP. As of May 2013, the database hosts almost 2 million BioSample records encompassing 18,000 species.
Content
The BioSamples database has doubled in size since January 2012 when 1 million samples were described in the BioSamples database, as of October 2013 2,846,137 samples are available as 80,232 groups.
The rapid growth is predominantly due to new data sources, and increased volume of data from existing sources. New data sources include 22,288 samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas, and 920,441 samples from the Catalogue of Somatic Mutation in Cancer (COSMIC).
Attributes define the material under investigation using structured name: value pairs, for example:
tissue: liver
collection date: 31-Jan-2013
After specifying the sample type, the user is presented with a list of required and optional attribute fields to fill in, as well as the opportunity to supply any number of custom descriptive attributes. The BioSample database is extendible in that new types and attributes can be added as new standards develop.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational%20astrophysics | Computational astrophysics refers to the methods and computing tools developed and used in astrophysics research. Like computational chemistry or computational physics, it is both a specific branch of theoretical astrophysics and an interdisciplinary field relying on computer science, mathematics, and wider physics. Computational astrophysics is most often studied through an applied mathematics or astrophysics programme at PhD level.
Well-established areas of astrophysics employing computational methods include magnetohydrodynamics, astrophysical radiative transfer, stellar and galactic dynamics, and astrophysical fluid dynamics. A recently developed field with interesting results is numerical relativity.
Research
Many astrophysicists use computers in their work, and a growing number of astrophysics departments now have research groups specially devoted to computational astrophysics. Important research initiatives include the US Department of Energy (DoE) SciDAC collaboration for astrophysics and the now defunct European AstroSim collaboration. A notable active project is the international Virgo Consortium, which focuses on cosmology.
In August 2015 during the general assembly of the International Astronomical Union a new
commission C.B1 on Computational Astrophysics was inaugurated, therewith recognizing the importance of astronomical discovery by computing.
Important techniques of computational astrophysics include particle-in-cell (PIC) and the closely related particle-mesh (PM), N-body simulations, Monte Carlo methods, as well as grid-free (with smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) being an important example) and grid-based methods for fluids. In addition, methods from numerical analysis for solving ODEs and PDEs are also used.
Simulation of astrophysical flows is of particular importance as many objects and processes of astronomical interest such as stars and nebulae involve gases. Fluid computer models are often coupled with radiative transfer, (Newtonian) gravity, nuclear physics and (general) relativity to study highly energetic phenomena such as supernovae, relativistic jets, active galaxies and gamma-ray bursts and are also used to model stellar structure, planetary formation, evolution of stars and of galaxies, and exotic objects such as neutron stars, pulsars, magnetars and black holes. Computer simulations are often the only means to study stellar collisions, galaxy mergers, as well as galactic and black hole interactions.
In recent years the field has made increasing use of parallel and high performance computers.
Tools
Computational astrophysics as a field makes extensive use of software and hardware technologies. These systems are often highly specialized and made by dedicated professionals, and so generally find limited popularity in the wider (computational) physics community.
Hardware
Like other similar fields, computational astrophysics makes extensive use of supercomputers and computer clusters . Even on the scale |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XQD%20card | The XQD card is a memory card format primarily developed for flash memory cards. It uses PCI Express as a data transfer interface.
The format is targeted at high-definition camcorders and high-resolution digital cameras. It offers target read and write speeds from 1 Gbit/s to about 5 Gbit/s and storage capabilities beyond 2 TB.
The cards are not backward compatible with CompactFlash or CFast cards, and despite the name similarity, has no connection with the xD-Picture Card. XQD and CFast were both designed as a replacement of the 1994 CompactFlash standard.
The format was first announced in November 2010 by SanDisk, Sony and Nikon, and was immediately picked up by the CompactFlash Association for development. The final specification was announced in December 2011.
XQD version 2.0 was announced in June 2012, featuring support for PCI Express 3.0 with transfer rates up to 8 Gbit/s (1 GB/s).
On 7 September 2016 the CFA announced the successor of XQD, CFexpress. This new standard uses the same form-factor and interface but uses the NVMe protocol for higher speeds, lower latencies and lower power consumption.
Support
In January 2012, the first XQD card was announced by Sony, declaring a 1 Gbit/s read and write speed. In July 2012, Lexar (owned at the time by Micron) announced plans to support the XQD format.
As of 2012, SanDisk and Kingston had not announced plans to produce XQD cards.
In addition to Sony, as of August 2018, Nikon and Delkin are also manufacturing XQD cards.
In late 2018, Lexar – by then under new ownership – announced that it would discontinue support for the XQD format in favour of CFexpress, citing problems with control, licensing and product availability.
Hosts
Sony has said their broadcast camcorders (XDCAM and XDCAM EX) will support the XQD cards. For their broadcast products the XQD card will be classified as a secondary media as XQD is based around consumer technology. Nonetheless, the cards will support acquisition in the broadcast quality MPEG HD422 50 Mbit/s format. On 4 September 2013, Sony released the PXW-Z100, a 4K prosumer camera that records onto XQD cards.
Nikon supports XQD cards in its newer high-end DSLR and mirrorless cameras: Nikon D4, Nikon D4s, Nikon D5, Nikon D6, Nikon D850, Nikon D500 and Nikon Z6 & Nikon Z7.
Phase One XF IQ4 camera system (three bodies) supports XQD cards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring%20your%20own%20device | Bring your own device (BYOD )—also called bring your own technology (BYOT), bring your own phone (BYOP), and bring your own personal computer (BYOPC)—refers to being allowed to use one's personally owned device, rather than being required to use an officially provided device.
There are two major contexts in which this term is used. One is in the mobile phone industry, where it refers to carriers allowing customers to activate their existing phone (or other cellular device) on the network, rather than being forced to buy a new device from the carrier.
The other, and the main focus of this article, is in the workplace, where it refers to a policy of permitting employees to bring personally owned devices (laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc.) to work, and to use those devices to access privileged company information and applications. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as IT consumerization.
BYOD is making significant inroads in the business world, with about 75% of employees in high-growth markets such as Brazil and Russia and 44% in developed markets already using their own technology at work. Surveys have indicated that businesses are unable to stop employees from bringing personal devices into the workplace. Research is divided on benefits. One survey shows around 95% of employees stating they use at least one personal device for work.
History
The term was initially used by a VoIP service provider BroadVoice in 2004 (initially for AstriCon, but then continued as a core part of the business model) with a service allowing businesses to bring their own device for a more open service provider model. The phrase and the "BYOD" acronym is a take-off on "BYOB", a party invitation term first recorded in the 1970s, standing for "bring your own beer/booze/bottle".
The term BYOD then entered common use in 2009, courtesy of Intel, when it recognized an increasing tendency among its employees to bring their own smartphones, tablets and laptop computers to work and connect them to the corporate network. However, it took until early 2011 before the term achieved prominence, when IT services provider Unisys and software vendor Citrix Systems started to share their perceptions of this emergent trend. BYOD has been characterized as a feature of the "consumer enterprise" in which enterprises blend with consumers. This is a role reversal in that businesses used to be the driving force behind consumer technology innovations and trends.
In 2012, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission adopted a BYOD policy, but many employees continued to use their government-issued BlackBerrys because of concerns about billing, and the lack of alternative devices.
New trends
The proliferation of devices such as tablets and smartphones, now used by many people in their daily lives, has led to a number of companies, such as IBM, to allow employees to bring their own devices to work, due to perceived productivity gains and cost savings. The idea was initially reje |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oprah%20Prime | Oprah Prime (formerly Oprah's Next Chapter) is an American prime-time television series hosted and produced by Oprah Winfrey, airing on Oprah Winfrey Network. The series premiered on January 1, 2012, with a two-part episode featuring Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler. The third season brought a new series title, Oprah Prime, and premiered on March 9, 2014.
Background
Oprah Prime is an interview program that allows Oprah Winfrey to step "outside of the studio for some riveting, enlightening in-depth conversations with newsmakers, celebrities, thought leaders and real-life families." The decision to launch Oprah Prime was made after Oprah reflected on her 25 years on television. "After 25 years I got myself out of the studio chairs. I moved into the next chapter, and I am having more fun than ever – moving around the country and the world talking to people I’m really interested in getting to know and I think viewers will be, too," said Winfrey. "It is so energizing to be out and about in the world exploring new people, new places and new ideas."
Series overview
Season 1 (2012)
Season 1 of Oprah's Next Chapter debuted on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network on Sunday January 1, 2012 at 9:00 p.m. ET with a two-part series premiere featuring Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhlenbergia%20cuspidata | Muhlenbergia cuspidata is a species of grass known by the common name plains muhly. It is native to North America where it is distributed across central Canada and the central United States.
This perennial grass grows in clumps. It has shallow fibrous roots. The stems have thick, knotty, scaly bases and grow up to about 60 centimeters tall. The leaves are narrow and may be flat or folded. The inflorescence is a panicle that is very narrow and spikelike, with an uneven row of short branches. The dark green or grayish spikelets contain usually one but sometimes two flowers. Blooming occurs in June through October.
This grass is most common in the northern Great Plains where it grows in shortgrass prairie habitat. It is a dominant species on sloping land and it may be codominant with blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis) and western wheatgrass (Pascopyrum smithii). It also grows on mixed-grass prairies, sometimes codominating with little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium). It is a less common species on tallgrass prairies. It is most common on dry soils and it is drought-tolerant. It may also grow on eroded land.
Many animals utilize the grass. Wild turkeys eat the seeds. A number of true bugs live only on this grass species. Many wild and domesticated ungulates feed on it.
The Navajo people used this plant to make hairbrushes and brooms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcoder%20free%20operation | In a telecommunication network Transcoder free operation, or TrFO, also known as Out of band transcoder control is the concept of removing transcoding function in a call path. In legacy GSM networks a call between two mobile stations involved two transcoding functions, one at each BSC. This transcoding functionality was generally implemented in a separate Transcoder and Rate Adaptation Unit, or TRAU. TRAU was connected to BSC and MSC through TDM E1 or STM-1.
With the introduction of NGN and 3G networks the Radio Network Controller was connected to MGW through ATM or IP instead of TDM. Therefore, this external transcoder was removed and transcoding function was moved up to the MGW. NGN also introduced Nb interface over IP such that it became possible to carry compressed voice codecs such as AMR in the Nb interface. In a call scenario such as this the transcoding functionality in the MGW could be eliminated such that voice quality can be improved and resources in MGW also could be saved. Concept of TrFO became applicable for 2G networks also with the "A interface over IP" implementation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-sleep%20algorithm | The wake-sleep algorithm is an unsupervised learning algorithm for a stochastic multilayer neural network. The algorithm adjusts the parameters so as to produce a good density estimator. There are two learning phases, the “wake” phase and the “sleep” phase, which are performed alternately. It was first designed as a model for brain functioning using variational Bayesian learning. After that, the algorithm was adapted to machine learning. It can be viewed as a way to train a Helmholtz Machine. It can also be used in Deep Belief Networks (DBN).
Description
The wake-sleep algorithm is visualized as a stack of layers containing representations of data. Layers above represent data from the layer below it. Actual data is placed below the bottom layer, causing layers on top of it to become gradually more abstract. Between each pair of layers there is a recognition weight and generative weight, which are trained to improve reliability during the algorithm runtime.
The wake-sleep algorithm is convergent and can be stochastic if alternated appropriately.
Training
Training consists of two phases – the “wake” phase and the “sleep” phase.
The "wake" phase
Neurons are fired by recognition connections (from what would be input to what would be output). Generative connections (leading from outputs to inputs) are then modified to increase probability that they would recreate the correct activity in the layer below – closer to actual data from sensory input.
The "sleep" phase
The process is reversed in the “sleep” phase – neurons are fired by generative connections while recognition connections are being modified to increase probability that they would recreate the correct activity in the layer above – further to actual data from sensory input.
Potential risks
Variational Bayesian learning is based on probabilities. There is a chance that an approximation is performed with mistakes, damaging further data representations. Another downside pertains to complicated or corrupted data samples, making it difficult to infer a representational pattern.
The wake-sleep algorithm has been suggested not to be powerful enough for the layers of the inference network in order to recover a good estimator of the posterior distribution of latent variables.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM%209370 | The IBM 9370 systems are "baby mainframe" midrange computers, released 1986 at the very low end of, and compatible with System/370. The media of the day, referring to the VAX systems manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), carried IBM's alleged "VAX Killer" phrase, albeit often skeptically.
History
The IBM 9370 was created in the aftermath of the failed Fort Knox project, which attempted to consolidate all of IBM's midrange systems into a single IBM 801-based hardware platform. The announcement described the IBM 9370 as a "super-mini computer" for commercial and engineering/scientific use—compact, rack-mounted, designed for an office environment, not needing a data center to be used.
At the time of announcement the systems were positioned between IBM's midrange systems (IBM System/36 and IBM System/38), and the IBM 4300 mainframe series in performance. The IBM 9370 was partially a replacement for the also-not-so-successful IBM 8100 distributed processing engine. High-level 9370 models were mentioned as a substitution when low-level 4300 models were withdrawn from marketing 1987.
Intended to be sold in large amounts as departmental machines ("VAX killers"), the 9370 initially suffered from lack of software and the failure of IBM to market it properly. Nevertheless, the systems were popular at least with users actually needing System/370 compatibility while not wanting to accept the expense of a larger system (like e.g. smaller software houses) or with users (like some large IBM customers) preferring hierarchically structured distributed processing solutions rigidly managed by central communication controllers like IBM 37xx. By 1990 the 9370 line had around 6,300 installed systems and generated over 2 billion dollars in sales for IBM. The relatively lacklustre commercial success of the 9370 served as an impetus for the creation of the much more successful AS/400 midrange systems.
While becoming part of the IBM Enterprise Systems Architecture in 1988 ("ES/9370" like "ES/4300" and "ES/3090"), the 9370s weren't XA systems. In 1990 IBM announced the "ES/9000" series; the rack-mounted models 120-170 with 31-bit Enterprise Systems Architecture (ESA) and ESCON were the suggested upgrades for ES/9370 users.
Models and options
Early models
The original 9370 hardware was based on technology created for the Fort Knox project - reusing some of the IBM 801-based processor design, and the SPD I/O bus which was derived from the Series/1 bus. All models included a floating-point accelerator as well as a processor console to install, operate and maintain the system. A militarized variant of the 9370 named the System/MIL-370 was announced alongside the original 9370 models, designed to operate in harsher environmental conditions than the standard 9370 hardware.
Each DASD/Tape Controller had eight device addresses and provided a data transfer rate of 3 MB. IBM 9332 (368 MB) and IBM 9335 (824 MB) DASD and IBM 9347 nine-track half-inch tape have |

After a pleasant interview, host Gay Byrne coaxes and goads the unwilling Brooke into singing Oh My Darling, Clementine. Unionists are subsequently outraged at what seems to be a moment clearly out of touch with grieving families, and instantly request Brooke's resignation. A humiliated Brooke later loses his position as Secretary of State to Sir Patrick Mayhew after the 1992 British General Election in April.
9 April – UK children's animated series Henry's Cat begins airing for the first time on Irish television on Network 2 starting off with the series 3 episode "The Case of the Pilfered Pearls". Only series 3, 4 and 5 were broadcast in Ireland, although viewers with access to British television were able to see the first two series.
9 May – Ireland wins the Eurovision Song Contest with Why Me? composed by Johnny Logan and performed by Linda Martin.
23 July – Joe Barry is appointed Director-General of RTÉ.
23 September – Well known British sitcom One Foot in the Grave gets its first ever transmission on Network 2.
28 December – The Irish language drama serial Ros na Rún is first aired on RTÉ Television as a series of 15-minute episodes.
Undated – Coronation Street moves from Network 2 to RTÉ 1.
RTE goes on strike. The strike started on 21 January 1992. Around 1,600 staff at RTE from three unions (SIPTU, NUJ and ETU) had gone on strike over staffing levels at RTE. The dispute began on 21 January 1992 when two-person camera crews were introduced without the agreement of the SIPTU union. For nearly four weeks, all live home produced programming on both RTE One and Network Two were axed, with RTE filling its schedules with already recorded home produced shows, along with a large amount of imported new programming and archive programming from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, USA and Australia, along with many films. The RTE News output on television was reduced to short news summaries. The strike ended on 17 February 1992, with a resolution reached between the unions and RTE management.

24 April – Network 2 airs the long running PBS television series for preschoolers Barney & Friends at 2 o'clock. The series was also very popular in Ireland and has often been transmitted on Network 2/RTÉ 2 as years and months go by, making it one of the most popular imported children's programmes on Irish television.
13 May – For the third year running, Ireland hosts the Eurovision Song Contest. This year marks the 40th event, presented by Mary Kennedy from The Point Theatre, Dublin. The BBC had offered to stage this year's Contest as a joint venture with RTÉ in Belfast as RTÉ were concerned they would not be able to afford the cost of hosting a third consecutive Contest. Ultimately an agreement was made that the BBC would host the 1996 event should Ireland win for a fourth time. However, it was won by Norway. The winning song was the mostly instrumental piece, Nocturne, by Secret Garden, although the group's violinist, Fionnuala Sherry, is Irish.
July – RTÉ appoints Mark Little as its first Washington Correspondent.
31 August – BBC 1 Northern Ireland airs the pilot of its satirical comedy series Give My Head Peace. The programme was later commissioned as a series in 1998.
9 September – British animated series Fantomcat begins on Network 2, two days after its UK television debut.
11 September – Ray D'Arcy, Socky and Dustin are back when Den TV returns to Network 2 after summer break. The return also marks the Irish television debut of the acclaimed British children's animated series Budgie the Little Helicopter, based on the books by Sarah Ferguson. The series was also animated and produced in Ireland). Also debuting in Ireland was the US animated action series Biker Mice from Mars, reruns of the US 1960s cult animated comedy series from Hanna-Barbera Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines (this was also the very first time the series has ever aired on Network 2), plus more cartoon fun with Yogi Bear as well as the Irish programmes Pop Goes The Den, Dinin and The Joke Box and the continuing episodes of the animated series Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and The Flintstones and the Canadian Nickelodeon/YTV supernatural-horror drama for children Are You Afraid of the Dark?.
12 September – US science fiction drama The X-Files receives its first ever Irish television debut on Network 2. The US sitcom Friends also premieres on Network 2 on the same day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace%20Global%20Grid | The Hackerspace Global Grid is aiming at building and establishing a distributed sensor and communication network. It was started in 2011 by Armin Bauer (shackspace), Andreas Horning (Constellation Platform), and Gregor Jehle (shackspace) after a call for participation in the Hackers in Space programme at the Chaos Communication Camp, 2011 to create a global community-driven communication network.
The long-term technical goal is to establish a system for tracking and communicating with amateur satellites in near Earth orbit, but the system is kept open for a variety of sensors, i.e. earthquake detection, radiation or weather data. Currently, the project is in a state where it is possible to receive data from commercial aeroplanes via ADS-B.
A stated but misinterpreted aim of the project is to produce a communication system, 'free from Internet censorship'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer%20%28season%203%29 | The third season of the animated television series, Archer originally aired in the United States on the cable network FX. The three part episode "Heart of Archness" aired from September 15, 2011, until September 29, 2011. The rest of the season started on January 19, 2012, with "The Man from Jupiter" and ended with the two part episode "Space Race" on March 16, 2012, and March 23, 2012, respectively, with a total of thirteen episodes.
Overview
It was announced on March 29, 2011, that Archer was renewed for 16 more episodes. FX had originally intended the first three episodes of Season 3 to air in the fall of 2011 as a "Special Assignment" three-part event, with a further 13 episodes (a normal sized season for most FX shows) to air at the beginning of 2012. Series creator Adam Reed later clarified the situation. He explained that while FX had intended the second set of episodes to be 13 episodes, he had believed that he was only going to be producing a further 10 episodes (with the first three episodes completing the standard order of 13 episodes). While he attempted to produce the full 16 episodes after he realized his error, it soon became clear that it would be impossible to produce three additional episodes. The order was eventually reduced to 13 episodes.

Previous to his position at Harvard and Google, he was Helen N. and Emmett H. Jones, Professor of Engineering and a Professor of Computer Science and Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles.
Research
Tambe's work focuses on advancing AI and multi-agent systems for public health, conservation and public safety, with a track record of building pioneering AI systems for social impact. His research focuses on fundamental problems in computational game theory, machine learning, automated planning, intelligent agents, and multi-agent interactions that are driven by these topics, ensuring a virtuous cycle of research and real-world applications. This research has led to significant practical impact, such as the use of the green security games framework to assist wildlife conservation around the world, the use of social networks and machine learning to assist in improving public health outcomes such as HIV prevention, and the use of pioneering security games research for security optimization by agencies, such as the US Coast Guard and the Federal Air Marshals Service.
In terms of public safety and security, the security games framework that Professor Tambe pioneered has been deployed and tested for security optimization, both nationally and internationally, by agencies such as the US Coast Guard and the Federal Air Marshals Service. More specifically, Professor Tambe and team provided the first-ever applications of computational game theory for operational security. The first of these deployments was the ARMOR system of game-theoretic algorithms for security (e.g., counter-terrorism) which started operating at the Los Angeles LAX airport in 2007, deployed by the LAX police division. This work was followed by pioneering deployments of security games for major security agencies such as the Federal Air Marshals Service, the US Coast Guard and the Transportation Security Administration. This research is credited with more than $100 million in savings to US agencies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard%20Rock%20Medical | Hard Rock Medical is a Canadian medical drama television series which aired on TVOntario (TVO) from 2013 to 2018. It was the first original drama series for TVO, the public television network for Ontario. The series also aired nationally in Canada on APTN beginning in 2014. The series ended after a five-season run in 2018.
The series was filmed in Sudbury and North Bay, Ontario, and revolves around a group of medical students attending the fictional Boréal Medical School, loosely based on the real-life Northern Ontario School of Medicine.
Internationally, the series also aired on Australia's National Indigenous Television (a channel operated by the Australian Special Broadcasting Service) as of 2014.
Premise
The series focuses primarily on a core group of eight medical students at Boréal Medical School: Nancy Siebolski (Angela Asher), Cameron Cahill (Jamie Spilchuk), Gary Frazier (Mark Coles Smith), Melanie Truscott (Melissa Jane Shaw), Charlie Rivière (Stéphane Paquette), Eva Malone (Andrea Menard), Gina Russo (Tamara Duarte) and Farida Farhisal (Rachelle Casseus).
The students are learning both a traditional medical curriculum, and how to cope with the unique demands of the school's focus on rural medicine, from professors and consultants including dean Raymond Dallaire (Christian Laurin), associate dean Fraser Healy (Patrick McKenna), doctor Louise Helvi (Danielle Bourgon) and First Nations elder Julie Cardinal (Kyra Harper). In the final season, Eric Peterson joined the cast as Dr. Kesler, the head of a medical clinic where some of the students are doing their practical placements; his unpredictable performance as a doctor leads the interns to suspect that he may be suffering from the early stages of dementia, although he is eventually revealed as struggling with an addiction to prescription painkillers.
Supporting and guest actors appearing over the course of the series include Jennifer Tocheri, Marc Bendavid, Michael Cleland, Derek Miller, Mike Bernier, Jim Calarco, Jeremy Cormier, Megan Fahlenbock, Ron Lea, Jennifer Matthies, Billy Merasty, Atticus Mitchell, Greg Odjick, Samantha Reed, Sera-Lys McArthur and Julian Robino. Many, but not all, supporting and guest actors in the series are local performers from Sudbury and North Bay.
Season 3 added Eric Peterson as Dr. Kesler, and Jennifer Podemski as Bonnie, in recurring roles.
Production
The series was initially a coproduction of three Canadian production firms, Title Entertainment, Carte Blanche Films, and Distinct Features, and an Australian firm, Moody Street Productions; the series was later produced solely by Distinct Features. In addition, the series received funding assistance from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund.
First announced in 2011, production on the series began in 2012 and the series premiered on June 9, 2013, with a 13-episode first season.
TVOntario announced in February 2014 that it had greenlit a second season for the series, premiering February 15, 2015. In |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkokushi | is an unfinished Japanese official historical work compiled, in part, by the early Heian period scholar , grandson of Ōe no Otondo, who had been one of the compilers of the Nihon Montoku Tennō Jitsuroku. After Asatsuna's death in 957, his cousin Ōe no Koretoki became the head compiler. It was supposed to succeed the Six National Histories.
The Shinkokushi is recorded in the as having forty volumes and covering the reigns of Emperor Uda (887-897) to Emperor Daigo (897-930). However a later work, the , states that the Shinkokushi was fifty volumes and included the reign of Emperor Suzaku (930-946) as well as Uda and Daigo. Because of the differences in size, lack of a formal title, and that no record of a presentation of the work survives, it is believed that the Shinkokushi was an unfinished manuscript. As a manuscript, the entirety of the Shinkokushi does not survive but instead portions of it have been passed down in other works.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lundy%20murders | Christine Marie Lundy, 38, and her 7-year-old daughter Amber Grace Lundy were murdered in Palmerston North, New Zealand, on 29 August 2000. Cell phone data proved that Christine's husband, Mark Lundy was in Petone at 5:30 pm and 8:28 pm that night. He was also confirmed as being in his motel in Petone between 11:30 pm and 1:00 am by a sex worker. In February 2001, after a six month investigation, Mark Edward Lundy (then aged 43), was arrested and charged with murdering his wife and daughter.
At his first trial, the prosecution claimed the murders took place at about 7:00 pm. They claimed that Lundy drove from Petone to Palmerston North, a distance of 134 kilometres, killed his wife and daughter, disposed of his clothes and the murder weapon, altered the timing on the family computer which indicated a different time of death, ran down the street wearing a blond wig and drove 134 kilometers back to Petone in between 5:30 and 8:28 pm.
Despite the implausibility of traveling there and back in three hours, in 2002, Lundy was convicted of the murders and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years. He took his case to the Court of Appeal; the court rejected his appeal and increased his non-parole period to 20 years. In June 2013 Lundy appealed to the Privy Council in Britain. In October 2013 the Privy Council quashed the convictions, based on new evidence that was presented, and ordered a re-trial.
By 2015, the police accepted that Lundy could not have made the round trip between Petone and Palmerston North between 5:30 pm and 8:28 pm, and at the re-trial, they presented an entirely different version of events. They now claimed that he travelled back to Palmerston North in the middle of the night after spending time with a sex worker in Petone. At both trials, contentious evidence was presented that specks of matter found on Lundy's shirt came from Christine's brain tissue. In April 2015, he was found guilty again.
Lundy has continued to claim he is innocent, and in 2017, took his second conviction to the Court of Appeal. On 9 October 2018 the Court dismissed the appeal. In August 2020, Lundy was preparing an application to the Criminal Cases Review Commission established to review possible wrongful convictions. In 2022, the CCRC agreed to investigate his case. While the CCRC investigates, in 2022 and 2023 he appeared before the Parole Board where he continued to maintain his innocence.
Background
Prior to the murders, Mark and Christine Lundy had been married for 17 years; Amber was their only child. They jointly owned a kitchen sink business. The company was often in debt to their supplier for around $100,000. In 1999, Mark Lundy added to their debt by buying two plots of land to grow grapes in Hawke's Bay. The owners of the plots, Christopher Morrison and Douglas Twigg, told the court at Lundy's second trial that the sale went unconditional in early 2000. Lundy missed a number of settlement dates without paying, |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolleybuses%20in%20Neuch%C3%A2tel | The Neuchâtel trolleybus system () is part of the public transport network in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Opened in 1940, it gradually replaced the urban lines of the Neuchâtel tramway network.
The system currently also serves the neighbouring municipalities of Auvernier, Peseux, Corcelles-Cormondrèche, Hauterive, Saint-Blaise and La Tène. It is operated by Transports publics Neuchâtelois (TN), which also runs an interurban tramway to Boudry and various conventional bus lines.
Current routes
As of 2019 there are three trolleybus routes in Neuchâtel (route 107 is a radial route; the other two routes are cross-city routes):
History
The individual sections of trolleybus line in Neuchâtel went into service as follows:
Note: Opening dates above indicate the start of trolleybus service, where known. In cases of new trolleybus routes converted from tram lines, trams were replaced by a temporary motorbus service while the overhead wiring was modified, and thus the first day of trolleybus service did not immediately follow the last day of tram service.
Opened in 1949, route 4 included interurban trolleybus service to Cernier, in the Val-de-Ruz, replacing a tramway as far as Valangin and motorbus service of the Val-de-Ruz transport company (VR) between there and Cernier. Service was jointly operated by TN and by VR, which operated the (opened in 1948), with TN trolleybuses reaching Cernier and VR trolleybuses reaching Place Pury in Neuchâtel. However, most journeys on TN route 4 operated only between Neuchâtel and Valangin. Trolleybus route 4 and VR's Valangin–Cernier section both closed on 2 November 1969, and that was the final day of trolleybus service between the Val-de-Ruz and Neuchâtel.
Route 6 was converted to diesel buses on 19 March 2001 and discontinued entirely in June 2001, with realignment of the roadway in front of the railway station following.
Routes 1 (city centre – St. Blaise) and 2 (city centre – Serrières) were through-routed for many years, from the opening of route 1 in 1957 until 1981, with trolleybuses displaying route number "1" when bound for St. Blaise and "2" when bound for Serrières. They were separated in 1981, but re-connected in 1985, and the full route became route 1 at the latter date, with route "2" ceasing to exist.
On 8 July 1991, route 1 replaced route 3, making route 1 Cormondrèche–Place Pury–St. Blaise–Marin, and the Place Pury to Serrières section was taken over by route 7. On 29 May 1994, route 7 reverted to operating Place Pury–Hauterive, and the designation route "2" was revived for the Place Pury–Serrières section. At the opposite end of route 7, the trolleybus wires were extended from Hauterive to Marin, for access to a new depot opening there in September 1994, and starting on 3 October 1994 three route 7 trips per day operated through to or from Marin. In June 1996, route 7 began serving Marin at all times and days except evenings and Sundays, but with half of its scheduled non-rush-hours trip |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM%205520 | The IBM 5520 Administrative System was a text, electronic document‐distribution and data processing system, announced by IBM General Systems Division (GSD) in 1979.
Configuration
The system offered linked text-editing work stations that shared a storage unit a central processor unit (IBM 5525), CRT-based display stations (IBM 5253 and 5254), a daisy wheel printer (IBM 5257) and an ink jet printer (IBM 5258). Depending on the model, from one to 18 display stations and from three to 12 printers could be attached. The processor unit has a same case that used in a IBM System/34 midrange computer.
Other systems, i.e. 6670 Information Distributor, Office System/6, 6240 Mag Card Typewriter-Communicating and System/370 could be connected for electronic document distribution.
Market share
The New York Times quoted a technology analyst's view of the 5520 as "a competitive product in(to) a rapidly growing field."
While the Office System/6 introduced two years earlier by IBM Office Products Division (OPD) was focused on word processing, the new 5520 intended to complement existing products lines with text editing and data processing power. The need for action became urgent because IBM was losing market share to companies such as Wang who exploited display (size), storage (magnetic cards), and computing (performance) weaknesses of IBM's established product lines by aggressive marketing, including direct comparisons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-City%20Buses | Light-City Buses was an Australian bus service operator in Adelaide. It operated services as part of the Adelaide Metro network under contract to the Government of South Australia. It was a subsidiary of Broadspectrum, formerly known as Transfield Services. In June 2018, the business was purchased by Torrens Transit.
History
In October 2011 Light-City Buses began operating the Adelaide Metro North-South and Outer North East region services under contract to the Government of South Australia. The two contract regions covered 43% of the bus services in Adelaide.
The contracts were to run for an initial eight-year term, from October 2011 to June 2019 with an optional four-year extension exercisable if performance criteria were met. Transfield Services had previously unsuccessfully tendered to operate buses in Adelaide in 2004 in a joint venture with Transdev. The two contracts had been operated by Torrens Transit since April 2005 and between 2000 and 2005 by Serco.
In April 2013, Light-City Buses was stripped of eight routes for continued poor performance.
In June 2018, Torrens Transit acquired the business, including 370 buses and 700 employees.
Fleet
As at April 2018, the fleet consisted of 366 buses. Buses were painted in Adelaide Metro livery.
Depots
Light–City Buses operated three depots in Morphettville, St Agnes and Wingfield.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signs%20and%20Wonders%20%28The%20X-Files%29 | "Signs and Wonders" is the ninth episode of the seventh season of the science fiction television series The X-Files. It premiered on the Fox network in the United States on January 23, 2000. It was written by Jeffrey Bell, directed by Kim Manners. The episode is a "Monster-of-the-Week" story, unconnected to the series' wider mythology. "Signs and Wonders" earned a Nielsen household rating of 8.5, being watched by 13.86 million people in its initial broadcast. The episode received mixed reviews from television critics.
The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files. Mulder is a believer in the paranormal, while the skeptical Scully has been assigned to debunk his work. In this episode, Mulder and Scully investigate the Church of God with Signs and Wonders, a church where the Bible is read literally, and punishment is dealt deftly, after a small town church is the site of a number of ritualistic-like murders. But soon the agents realize that the difference between the peaceful religious and the fanatics may not be very much at all.
Bell wished to write a "down-and-dirty" horror story about a snake-handling church. Furthermore, Bell wanted the true antagonist of the episode to remain hidden until the very end. In order to do this, the script was written so that Mulder suspected the wrong individual. According to executive producer Frank Spotnitz, the theme of the episode was "intolerance can be good", in some cases. The episode used live rattlesnakes; at any one time, there were between six and fifty snakes on the set.
Plot
In Blessing, Tennessee, Jared Chirp, while attempting to flee his home, is attacked by rattlesnakes inside his car and killed. Federal agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), confer with Reverend Mackey of Blessing Community Church and investigate Reverend Enoch O'Connor, pastor of a fundamentalist, snake-handling congregation, who is the prime suspect. Later, a Community Church congregation member named Iris tells Reverend Mackey that she feels guilty because Jared called the night he died wanting to speak to his pregnant girlfriend, Gracie, but she was already asleep and Iris didn't want to wake her. Later that night, Iris is bitten when her staple remover turns into a snake; she promptly goes into the bathroom to clean the wound, but is killed when snakes appear everywhere in the bathroom.
Mulder and Scully question Gracie and discover that she is O'Connor's daughter and was banished from the congregation and her home following her pregnancy. The agents return to O'Connor's church to search it. Scully is attacked by O'Connor, who thrusts her hand into a rattlesnake's cage but is stopped by Mulder. O'Connor is arrested and, while in his cell, is attacked by dozens of snakes. He is taken to the hospital, barely alive, but is not given antivenom because Gracie insists it would go aga |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaNet-vi | LaNet-vi is an open-source network visualization software. It is an acronym that stands for Large Networks visualization Tool.
LaNet-vi is based on the k-core decomposition of a network. This decomposition was introduced by Seidman in 1983 and divides the network in layers (the cores) thus providing a centrality measure for nodes. One of its main applications is the study of the Internet topology. Usually, the nodes in the highest cores of the Internet are densely connected between them, and serve as hubs for assuring the connectivity between peripheral nodes. The relationship between k-cores and connectivity has been studied by Havlin et al. and Alvarez-Hamelin et al..
The software was developed by José Ignacio Alvarez-Hamelin (University of Buenos Aires), Alain Barrat (CNRS), Alessandro Vespignani (Indiana University), Luca Dall'Asta (Politecnico di Torino) and Mariano Beiró (University of Buenos Aires).
An online interface of the software is also available. This online version is being hosted and maintained by University of Buenos Aires.
In November 2010 a visualization obtained with LaNet-vi appeared in the cover of Nature Physics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood%20Mackenzie | Wood Mackenzie, also known as WoodMac, is a global research and consultancy group supplying data, written analysis, and consultancy advice to the energy, chemicals, renewables, metals, and mining industries. In 2015, the company was acquired by Verisk Analytics, an American data analytics and risk assessment firm, in a deal valued at $2.8 billion. The company was taken private by private-equity firm Veritas Capital in 2023, in a deal valued at $3.1 billion.
The company is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, though it has over 40 offices worldwide. Originally founded as stockbroker in 1923, the company's energy business was launched in 1973, when it started reviewing the North Sea oilfields. Between 2007 and 2014, Wood Mackenzie acquired coal specialists Hill & Associates in the US, Barlow Jonker in Australia, and Brook Hunt, the UK-based metals analysts.
Since 2015 a host of companies have become part of Wood Mackenzie including PSG, a petroleum database service; PCI, the specialist chemicals analysis group; Greentech Media, providing analysis of the solar market and MAKE, providing analysis of global wind power.
History
The company was sold in 1987 to County Natwest by Trustee Savings Bank. In a 2003 report the company claimed that 25 of the largest oil companies had "destroyed value in 50 of the 80 countries they have invested in over the past six years". In a report from the company in 2005 it was discovered that Bangladesh will fail to meet natural gas demands by 2023. In 2007 a report from the company on the Alberta oil sands said "higher royalties will have the biggest impact on high-cost, low-margin projects" this sparked what has been described as a "furious debate" within the oil industry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kateryna%20Yushchenko%20%28scientist%29 | Kateryna Lohvynivna Yushchenko (, , 8 December 1919, Chyhyryn; died 15 August 2001) was a Soviet Ukrainian computer and information research scientist, corresponding member of USSR Academy of Sciences (1976), and member of The International Academy of Computer Science. She developed one of the world's first high-level languages with indirect address in programming (Pointers are analogous to this addressing), called the Address programming language. Over the period of her academic career, Yushchenko supervised 45 Ph.D. students. Further professional achievements include Yushchenko being awarded two USSR State Prizes, The USSR Council of Ministers Prize, The Academician Glushkov Prize, and The Order of Princess Olga. Yushchenko was the first woman in the USSR to become a Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences in programming.
Biography
Kateryna Lohvynivna Yushchenko (née Rvacheva) was born in 1919 in Chyhyryn, central Ukraine. She started her undergraduate studies in Kyiv University in 1937, and during the Second World War she attended the Central Asian State University in Tashkent, graduating in 1942. After the war she returned to Ukraine and in 1950, under the direction of Boris Gnedenko, she obtained a Ph.D. from the Institute of Mathematics of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. For a period of seven years, Yushchenko held the position of Senior Researcher of the Kiev Institute of Mathematics of the Ukrainian SSR Academy of Sciences (1950–57). In 1954, the Levedev Laboratory (where the first computer in continental Europe MESM was created) was transferred to the Institute of Mathematics. Yushchenko was a member of the joint group of scholars operating the MESM. In 1957 she became Director of the Institute of Computer Science of the Ukrainian SSR Academy of Sciences. During her forty years service to the institute, Yushchenko created an internationally notable scientific school of theoretical programming.
Scientific contributions
Yushchenko is best known for her creation of Address programming language, the first fundamental advancement in the scientific school of theoretical programming. This language provided the free location of a program in computer memory.
In the process of working with MESM, it became clear that the more complex tasks were difficult to solve by writing simple machine programs. There was a need to develop a high-level programming language, but there was a problem: the absence of an appropriate translator for better human/computer communication. L.I. Kaluzhnin, a professor at Kyiv University, who taught a course on mathematical logic in the 1950–1970s, made a significant advancement in the understanding of this problem and formalized a scheme of interfacing with the program. Following this development, in 1955, Yushchenko developed a programming language based on two general principles for the computer work: addressing and software management.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimeme | Kimeme is an open platform for multi-objective optimization and multidisciplinary design optimization. It is intended to be coupled with external numerical software such as computer-aided design (CAD), finite element analysis (FEM), structural analysis and computational fluid dynamics tools. It was developed by Cyber Dyne Srl and provides both a design environment for problem definition and analysis and a software network infrastructure to distribute the computational load.
History
Cyber Dyne was founded in 2011 as a research startup to transfer the knowledge of its founders in the field of numerical optimization and computational intelligence methods into a commercial product.
Features
The problem definition workflow is based on the data flow paradigm. Multiple nodes can be interconnected to describe the data flow from the design variables to the desired objectives and constraints. Input/output nodes can be used to calculate any part of the objective(s) computation, using internal (Java, Python or Bash/Batch) or external (third-party) processes. Any of these procedures can be distributed over a LAN or the Cloud, exploiting all the available computational resources. The optimization core is open, and using the memetic computing (MC) approach, which is an extension of the concept of memetic algorithm, the user can define its own optimization algorithm as a set of independent pieces of code called "operators", or "memes". Operators can be implemented either in Java or Python.
Algorithm design
In mathematical folklore, the no free lunch theorem (sometimes pluralized) of David Wolpert and William G. Macready appears in the 1997 "No Free Lunch Theorems for Optimization."
This mathematical result states the need for a specific effort in the design of a new algorithm, tailored to the specific problem to be optimized. Kimeme allows the design and experimentation of new optimization algorithms through the new paradigm of memetic computing, a subject of computational intelligence which studies algorithmic structures composed of multiple interacting and evolving modules (memes).
Design of experiments (DoE)
Different DoE strategies are available, including random generator sequences, Factorial, Orthogonal and Iterative Techniques, as well as D-Optimal or Cross Validation. Monte Carlo and Latin hypercube are available for robustness analysis.
Sensitivity analysis
Local sensitivity as correlation coefficients and partial derivatives can be used only if the correlation between input and output is linear. If the correlation is nonlinear, the global sensitivity analysis has to be used based on a variance-relationship between input and output distribution, such as the Sobol index. With sensitivity analysis, the system complexity can be reduced and the cause-effect chain can be explained.
Multi-objective optimization
In the development process of technical products, there are usually several evaluation goals or criteria to be met, e.g. low cost, high qual |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modalohr | The Lohr Railway System or Modalohr System () uses special railway wagons of a type known as piggyback wagons, to carry standard road semi-trailers on the European rail network. They are currently used on the AFF route from France to Italy and Luxembourg to the French border with Spain and vice versa. There are plans to expand this service. They have also been approved for the Channel Tunnel.
This articulated railway wagon consists of two low-floor decks, resting on a single Y25 jacobs bogie in the middle and on two Y33 bogies on the extreme ends. Using standard bogies resulted in lower maintenance costs compared with the similar rolling highway concept.
The deck between the bogies (trucks) pivots (swings) 30°, allowing the trailers to be loaded from the sides. The cars are built by Lohr Industrie.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local%20Coordination%20Committees%20of%20Syria | The Local Coordination Committees of Syria (: LCCSyria or LCCs) are a network of local groups that organise and report on protests as part of the Syrian uprising. In June 2011, the network was described by The New York Times as beginning to "emerge as a pivotal force" in Syria. , the network supported civil disobedience and opposed local armed resistance and international military intervention as methods of opposing the Syrian government.
Creation
The Local Coordination Committees of Syria started in March 2011 from local groups that published reports about protests during the Syrian uprising and developed into a national network involved in journalism about protests and the protests themselves. The groups had developed from informal networks of friends and colleagues involved in dissidence that had existed for many years. Prior to the uprising, Syrian activists had brought in mobile telephones, satellite modems and computers in anticipation of Arab Spring protests developing in Syria. In June 2011, The New York Times described the network as beginning to "emerge as a pivotal force" in Syrian politics, "earning the respect of more recognized, but long divided dissidents."
Structure
The LCCSyria network consists of "overwhelmingly young" demonstrators of multiple religious and class backgrounds. The network is decentralized and works in secret. The first of the committees was created in the Daraya suburb of Damascus. , the most active committee was in Homs. , the network had 35 individual leaders, who tried to communicate daily. , the network had 14 local committees, one each in Daraa, Homs, Baniyas, Saraqeb, Idlib, al-Hasakah, Qamishli, Deir ez-Zor, the Syrian coast, Hama, Raqqa, as-Suwayda', Damascus and the Damascus suburbs.
Finances
LCCSyria is financed by donations from individual supporters. This is further facilitated by the "Adopt a Revolution" initiative. Furthermore, the Office for Syrian Opposition Support, which itself was founded by the United States Department of State and Foreign and Commonwealth Office and is funded by the Friends of Syria Group, provides "material support" and "training assistance" to the LCCs.
Human rights journalism
Rami Nakhle, who helps LCCSyria from exile in Lebanon, said that media activities documenting protests were the network's first main activity. The Syrian human rights lawyer Razan Zaitouneh, winner of the 2011 Sakharov Prize and the 2011 Anna Politkovskaya Award, has documented human rights in Syria for the network. The network's text and photographic reports of injuries and deaths of protestors have been used by CNN, Al Jazeera English, The Guardian and The Washington Post. The network publishes reports on its own website and on Facebook.
On 1 February 2012, LCCSyria criticised the international and Arab community as having been "unable to take any decision that contributes to stopping the cycle of violence in Syria". It estimated the number of deaths in the civil war is more than 100,000.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%20Network | M Network was a video game division of Mattel that, in the 1980s, produced games in cartridge format for the Atari 2600 video game system.
History
In the early 1980s, Mattel's Intellivision video game console was a direct competitor to Atari's Video Computer System (VCS), better known as the Atari 2600. Although Mattel designed and produced video game cartridges for their own system, the company surprised the industry by also releasing simplified versions of its games for the 2600 under the M Network label.
M Network produced home ports of popular arcade games, including BurgerTime, Bump 'n' Jump and Lock 'n' Chase (all 1982) as well as original titles such as Tron: Deadly Discs (1982 – based on the Disney movie) and Kool-Aid Man (1983), one of the earliest "promogames", originally available only via mail order by sending in UPC symbols from Kool-Aid containers.
Mattel programmers (named by TV Guide as the "Blue Sky Rangers") were also encouraged to develop video game tie-ins with other Mattel properties; games such as Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man (1983), leveraging Mattel's Masters of the Universe media franchise, were released.
M Network cartridges made for the 2600 were physically similar to Intellivision cartridges, but with a base designed to fit the 2600's larger cartridge slot. Most of the names were changed for the 2600 version; Astrosmash was, for example, renamed Astroblast.
Although Mattel, through M Network, released cartridges for Atari consoles, they balked at allowing Atari to release cartridges for the Intellivision: in the early 1980s the company filed a lawsuit against Atari alleging that Atari had stolen Mattel's trade secrets when it hired former Mattel employees to develop a line of Intellivision-compatible cartridges.
In May 2023, Atari SA obtained rights for over a dozen M Network games, including Armor Ambush, Astroblast, and Star Strike.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital%20sensor | A digital sensor is an electronic or electrochemical sensor, where data is digitally converted and transmitted. Sensors are often used for analytical measurements, e.g. the measurement of chemical and physical properties of liquids. Examples of measured parameters are pH value, conductivity, oxygen, redox potentials. Such measurements are used in the industrialized world and give vital input for process control.
Analog sensors were used in the past, but digital sensors have come to dominate in the age of microprocessors. The differences between the two types, and the reasons for the development of digital sensors are discussed:
General aspects
Digital sensors are the modern successors of analog sensors. Digital sensors replace analog sensors stepwise, because they overcome the traditional drawbacks of analog sensor systems (cf chapter 3 –which book?)
History
Electronic and electrochemical sensors are typically one part of a measuring chain. A measuring chain comprises the sensor itself, a cable, and a transmitter.
In the traditional analog systems, the sensor converts the measuring parameter (e.g. pH value) into an analog electrical signal. This analog electrical signal is connected to a transmitter via a cable. The transmitter transforms the electrical signal into a readable form (display, current outputs, bus data transmission, etc.).
The sensor and the cable often are not connected permanently, but through electrical connectors.
This classical design with connectors and transmission of small currents through a cable has four main drawbacks:
1) Humidity and corrosion of the connector falsify the signal.
2) The cable must be shielded and of very high quality to prevent the measuring signal from being altered by electromagnetic noise.
3) The sensor cannot be calibrated or adjusted until installation, because the influence of the cable (length, resistance, impedance) cannot be neglected.
4) The cable length is limited.
Use and design
Digital sensors have been developed to overcome the traditional disadvantages of analog sensors.
Digital sensors are widely used in water and industrial processes. They measure parameters such as pH, redox potential, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, ammonium, nitrate, SAC, turbidity.
A digital sensor system consists of the sensor itself, a cable, and a transmitter. The differences with analog sensor systems are:
a) The sensor has an electronic chip. The measuring signal is directly converted into a digital signal inside the sensor. The data transmission through the cable is also digital. This digital data transmission is unaffected by cable length, cable resistance or impedance, and is not influenced by electromagnetic noise. Standard cables can be used.
b) The connection between sensor and cable can be contactless and done by inductive coupling. Humidity and related corrosion is no longer an issue. Alternative fibre optic cables may also be an option for long or electromagnetically hostile connections

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert%20correlation | Alert correlation is a type of log analysis. It focuses on the process of clustering alerts (events), generated by NIDS and HIDS computer systems, to form higher-level pieces of information.
Example of simple alert correlation is grouping invalid login attempts to report single incident like "10000 invalid login attempts on host X".
