https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusion%20Detection%20Message%20Exchange%20Format | Used as part of computer security, IDMEF (Intrusion Detection Message Exchange Format) is a data format used to exchange information between software enabling intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, security information collection and management systems that may need to interact with them.
IDMEF messages are designed to be processed automatically. The details of the format are described in the RFC 4765. This RFC presents an implementation of the XML data model and the associated DTD.
The requirements for this format are described in RFC 4766, and the recommended transport protocol (IDXP) is documented in RFC 4767
IDMEF
The purpose of IDMEF is to define data formats and exchange procedures for sharing information of interest to intrusion detection and response systems and to the management systems that may need to interact with them. It is used in computer security for incidents reporting and exchanging. It is intended for easy automatic processing.
IDMEF is a well-structured object-oriented format, which consists of 33 classes containing 108 fields, including three mandatory:
The classification
The unique login
The date of creation of the alert.
There are currently two types of IDMEF messages that can be created, Heartbeat or Alert
Heartbeat
The Heartbeats are sent by the analyzers to indicate their status. These messages are sent at regular intervals which period is defined in the Heartbeat Interval Field. If none of these messages are received for several periods of time, consider that this analyzer is not able to trigger alerts.
Alert
Alerts are used to describe an attack that took place, the main areas that create the alert are:
CreateTime: Date of creation of the alert
DetectTime: alert detection time by the analyzer
AnalyzerTime: The time the alert was sent by the analyzer
Source: Details about the origin of the attack can be a service, a user, a process and / or a node
Target: Details on the target of the attack can be a service, a user, a process and / or a node and a file
Classification: Name of the attack and references, as CVEs
Assessment: Evaluation of the attack (severity, potential impact, etc.)
AdditionalData: Additional information on the attack
There are three other alert types that inherit from this scheme:
CorrelationAlert: Grouping of alerts related to one another
ToolAlert: alerts from the same Grouping tool
OverflowAlert: Alert resulting from attack so-called buffer overflow
Example
IDMEF report of ping of death attack can look as follows:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCEbus | DCEbus is a computer bus standard, originally developed for industrial control computers interfacing to the "real world" by the Belgian company Data Applications International. It is physically based on Eurocard sizes, mechanicals and 31-pin connectors (DIN 41617 similar to the DIN 41612 but simpler), and using its own signalling system, which Eurocard does not define. It was first developed in 1970 but was never adopted by any other company.
The 24 I/O lines available on the DCEbus (from an Intel 8255 of the controlling computer) could be used directly, or could use the "DCE bus mode", in which the 24 I/O lines were grouped in three groups of eight I/O lines, of which the first group was used for data, and of the second group two were used for read and write strobes, and one for "bus expansion", the third group was used for eight "card address lines". Most often these setup was used to control another Intel 8255 on the actual interface card. The remaining seven pins of the 31-pin DIN connector were used for power and ground signals.
Available cards
About twenty interface cards were available:
RWC-T24 Generic TTL interface module
RWC-D12 Isolated digital input and output module
RWC-DI24 Isolated digital input module
RWC-AI Analog Input module
RWC-V8/16 Analog high speed Data Acquisition module
RWC-A02 Analog Output module
RWC-CCE Double serial communication module
RWC-SLD Serial linecontrol module
RWC-MC/DC DC Current control module
RWC-HC/DC DC Large current control module
RWC-PTM Position and temperature measurement module
RWC-MUX 4-wire multiplex module
RWC-IEC IEC (IEEE) Bus module
RWC-F Experimental module

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La%20Luna%20%282011%20film%29 | La Luna (, Italian for "The Moon") is a 2011 American computer-animated short film, directed and written by Enrico Casarosa in his directorial debut. The short premiered on June 6, 2011 at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France, and it was paired with Pixar's Brave for its theatrical release on June 22, 2012, being shown before the film's beginning. La Luna was released on November 13, 2012, on the Brave DVD and Blu-ray, and on a new Pixar Short Films Collection, Volume 2, the second collection of Pixar's short films. La Luna was nominated for Best Animated Short Film at the 84th Academy Awards.
Plot
A young Italian boy, Bambino, goes on a midnight boat trip with his father Papà and grandfather Nonno in Genoa, Italy. After they anchor in the middle of the sea, Nonno presents Bambino with a cap similar to the ones he and Papà wear. The two men disagree on how Bambino should wear it, with Papà pulling it low over his eyes and Nonno pushing it back on his head.
Papà sets up a long ladder for Bambino to climb so he can set an anchor on the full moon, and the three ascend to start their work of sweeping fallen stars off the lunar surface. Papà urges Bambino to use a pushbroom on the stars, while Nonno favors a besom broom. As they quarrel, a huge star crashes on the Moon; it is far too large for any of them to move.
Turning his cap backward, the way he wants to wear it, Bambino climbs onto the star and taps it with a hammer. It bursts apart into hundreds of smaller stars, and all three go to work sweeping them to one side, with Bambino choosing a rake instead of either man's broom. Once the job is done, they climb down to their boat and look up at the Moon, which now displays a glowing crescent phase thanks to their efforts.
Production
The plot was inspired by Casarosa's childhood and tales by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Italo Calvino. The style comes from Hayao Miyazaki's anime and from La Linea by the Italian cartoonist Osvaldo Cavandoli.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch%20input | In computing, scratch input is an acoustic-based method of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) that takes advantage of the characteristic sound produced when a finger nail or other object is dragged over a surface, such as a table or wall. The technique is not limited to fingers; a stick or writing implements (e.g. chalk, or a pen) can also be used. The sound is often inaudible to the naked ear (i.e., silent). However, specialized microphones can digitize the sounds for interactive purposes. Scratch input was invented by Mann et al. in 2007, though the term was first used by Chris Harrison et al.
History
A natural interface for musical expression operating on scratch input principles was first published and presented in June 2007. Later that year, it was extended to an implementation on a smartphone and also a wearable computer system.
In 2008, the Scratch Input project demonstrated a mobile device input system utilizing scratch input, simultaneously popularizing the term. This system captured audio transmitted through a surface on which a mobile phone was placed, enabling the entire surface to be used as an input device.
Uses
Scratch input is an enabling input technique that is used in multitude of applications. The earliest application was a highly expressive musical instrument (Mann et al.) for use with mobile devices on natural objects, surfaces, or the like, as a non-synthesizing (i.e. idiophonic) musical instrument. Harrison et al. proposed it to create large, ad hoc gestural input areas when mobile devices are rested on tables.
Commercial potential
Microsoft has expressed interest in Scratch Input.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud%20collaboration | Cloud collaboration is a method of sharing and co-authoring computer files via cloud computing, whereby documents are uploaded to a central "cloud" for storage, where they can then be accessed by other users.
Cloud collaboration technologies allow users to upload, comment and collaborate on documents and even amend the document itself, evolving the document. Businesses in the last few years have increasingly been switching to use of cloud collaboration.
Overview
Cloud computing is a marketing term for technologies that provide software, data access, and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services. A parallel to this concept can be drawn with the electricity grid, where end-users consume power without needing to understand the component devices or infrastructure required to utilize the technology.
Collaboration refers to the ability of workers to work together simultaneously on a particular task. Document collaboration can be completed face to face. However, collaboration has become more complex, with the need to work with people all over the world in real time on a variety of different types of documents, using different devices. A 2003 report mapped out five reasons why workers are reluctant to collaborate more. These are:
People resist sharing their knowledge.
Safety issues
Users are most comfortable using e-mail as their primary electronic collaboration tool.
People do not have incentive to change their behaviour.
Teams that want to or are selected to use the software do not have strong team leaders who push for more collaboration.
Senior management is not actively involved in or does not support the team collaboration initiative.
As a result, many providers created cloud collaboration tools. These include the integration of email alerts into collaboration software and the ability to see who is viewing the document at any time. All the tools a team could need are put into one piece of software so workers no longer have to rely on email.
Origins
Before cloud file sharing and collaboration software, most collaboration was limited to more primitive and less effective methods such as email and FTP among others. These did not work particularly well.
Very early moves into cloud computing were made by Amazon Web Services who, in 2006, began offering IT infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services. Cloud computing only began to come to prominence in 2007 when Google decided to move parts of its email service to a public cloud. It was not long before IBM and Microsoft followed suit with LotusLive and Business Productivity Online Standard Suite (BPOS) respectively. With an increase in cloud computing services, cloud collaboration was able to evolve. Since 2007, many firms entered the industry offering many features.
Many analysts explain the rise of cloud collaboration by pointing to the increasing use by workers of non-aut |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20copy%20protection%20schemes | This is a list of notable copy protection schemes for various medias.
Computer Software protection schemes
Dongle
Hardware key containing electronic serial number required to run the software; relatively expensive and has no recovery when the hardware breaks.
Product Activation
Requiring user to verify the license, often by entering a Product key in order to activate and use the software; some activation schemes require sending registration information over internet to prevent the same product key from being used by multiple users. In some cases, users are required to call a number to register and receive device-specific serial number.
Bus encryption
Use of encrypted code together with Secure cryptoprocessor so only the machine with cryptoprocessor could execute the program; used in systems that require high security such as ATMs.
Keyfile
A file with activation key that needs to be installed in same directory as software; similarly, a disc media (often installation disc) may be required as key disk for activation.
Code Morphing
Hiding intermediate code by means of code obfuscation so that execution logic is not visible. This method does not protect against runtime tracing.
Commercial CD/DVD protection schemes
Commercial Blu-ray Disc protection schemes
AACS
The encrypted content can only be decrypted using combination of media key (obtained from Media Key Block by one of device keys available for each reproduction devices) and the Volume ID (unique identifiers stored on each disk) of the media.
BD+
The BD+ virtual machine embedded in authorized players will execute programs included in Blu-ray discs, allowing to verify the player's keys, transform the output so that content is unscrambled, and/or execute native code to patch the system against vulnerabilities. Based on concept of self-protecting digital content.
ROM-Mark
Recorders will check for watermark that cannot be duplicated by consumer-level recorders, allowing authentic media for movies, musics and games.
Digital Audio/Video Transmission protection schemes
DTCP
Encrypts interconnection between devices so "digital home" technologies such as DVD players and televisions are restricted.
HDCP
Transmitting device checks before sending that receiver is authorized to receive the data. The data is encrypted during transmission to prevent eavesdropping.
Serial Copy Management System
Records in the sub code data bits that expresses whether the media is copy allowed(00), copy once(10) or copy prohibited(11).
Traitor Tracing
Rather than directly preventing copying, embeds user information into files so if they are uploaded, the copyright holder could find out exactly who uploaded the file.
Protection Schemes for Other Media
CGMS-A (Analog Television Signals)
Inserts a waveform into the non-picture Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) of the analog video signal so compatible device can block or restrict recording when the waveform is detected.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical%20Dirichlet%20process | In statistics and machine learning, the hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP) is a nonparametric Bayesian approach to clustering grouped data. It uses a Dirichlet process for each group of data, with the Dirichlet processes for all groups sharing a base distribution which is itself drawn from a Dirichlet process. This method allows groups to share statistical strength via sharing of clusters across groups. The base distribution being drawn from a Dirichlet process is important, because draws from a Dirichlet process are atomic probability measures, and the atoms will appear in all group-level Dirichlet processes. Since each atom corresponds to a cluster, clusters are shared across all groups. It was developed by Yee Whye Teh, Michael I. Jordan, Matthew J. Beal and David Blei and published in the Journal of the American Statistical Association in 2006, as a formalization and generalization of the infinite hidden Markov model published in 2002.
Model
This model description is sourced from. The HDP is a model for grouped data. What this means is that the data items come in multiple distinct groups. For example, in a topic model words are organized into documents, with each document formed by a bag (group) of words (data items). Indexing groups by , suppose each group consist of data items .
The HDP is parameterized by a base distribution that governs the a priori distribution over data items, and a number of concentration parameters that govern the a priori number of clusters and amount of sharing across groups. The th group is associated with a random probability measure which has distribution given by a Dirichlet process:
where is the concentration parameter associated with the group, and is the base distribution shared across all groups. In turn, the common base distribution is Dirichlet process distributed:
with concentration parameter and base distribution . Finally, to relate the Dirichlet processes back with the observed data, each data item is associated with a latent parameter :
The first line states that each parameter has a prior distribution given by , while the second line states that each data item has a distribution parameterized by its associated parameter. The resulting model above is called a HDP mixture model, with the HDP referring to the hierarchically linked set of Dirichlet processes, and the mixture model referring to the way the Dirichlet processes are related to the data items.
To understand how the HDP implements a clustering model, and how clusters become shared across groups, recall that draws from a Dirichlet process are atomic probability measures with probability one. This means that the common base distribution has a form which can be written as:
where there are an infinite number of atoms, , assuming that the overall base distribution has infinite support. Each atom is associated with a mass . The masses have to sum to one since is a probability measure. Since is itself the base distr |

Background
Jeffrey Williams was born in Seattle, Washington. He was born to Jeffrey Williams and Beverly Minnis Williams and grew up in a blended family of 12 children. He is openly gay. His gift for fashion and design was evident as young as age three, he loved the feel of fabrics, liked picking out his mother's dress up clothing. His mother supported and inspired her prodigious son, supplying him as young as seven, with needles, thread, and fabric his first designs were pillows. By high school he had a fully equipped design studio in his home and a Jeffrey Williams prom gown was desired by his classmates. His gift for design and style was applied to making handmade wigs for his mother during her bout with breast cancer.
Being raised in a large family that was eventually headed by one parent, he knew that the cost of pursuing fashion design would be a hard task to accomplish but after graduating from Garfield High School in 2002, he applied and was accepted in 2004 into the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. That same year his mother succumbed to breast cancer. She continues to be an inspiration. His mother left his godmother, Dawn Mason (Former WA State Representative) with instructions that she must see that Jeffrey complete design school, and that one day he would be famous.
Education
His talent as an illustrator was recognized by his instructors, and was selected for the highly competitive Illustration program. Then following a desire to add an international appeal to his design he competed for a coveted spot in the study abroad option. Offered by the New York Fashion Institute, he studied abroad at Politecnico di Milano in Milan, Italy, and developed a love for working as a fashion designer, internationally. Participating in many art programs to gain notoriety. In 2009, Williams graduated from the New York Fashion Institute getting a Bachelors in International Fashion Design. Soon after graduating, he began to collaborate with many other fashion designers in order to better his own individual clothing line. The designers Williams has worked with include Alexander Wang and Peter Som. He has also worked with many celebrity stylists such as Patti Wilson.
Career
By the request of his older sister, Baionne, Williams decided to audition for the second season of the reality television program The Fashion Show. While on the show, he received mixed reactions from the judges. As the show progressed and his fashion designs work began to improve, and he became popular with the viewing audience he became very competitive. He won as The Ultimate Designer, beating eleven other contestants. On the series finale, he was highly praised by the show's judges Iman, and Mary J. Blige, who described this work as unique and of high value. Since the ending of the show, he has gained |

News media attributed this to the show's inability to distinguish itself from the multitude of popular music programs being broadcast by other cable and terrestrial networks at the time, and its failure to improve its consistently low viewership.
Broadcast
News of JTBC's then-upcoming new music show was first announced on November 24, 2011. Titled Music on Top, the first episode aired live from Hoam Art Hall in Jung-gu, Seoul on Thursday December 8 at 6:25PM KST, overlapping with the broadcast of cable TV network Mnet's music program M Countdown which aired at 6PM KST on the same day. This raised concerns from the media and industry personnel on whether the show would be able to actively compete with M Countdown for viewership, since both programs aired in the same time slot, and attract artists to appear on its broadcast instead of the more popular M Countdown.
After just two months of being on air, JTBC changed the broadcast day from Thursday to Wednesday at 6:40PM KST effective February 15, 2012. Multiple news outlets reported the reason for the change as the increasing difficulty in procuring more artists to appear on the show since most were choosing to attend M Countdown instead. JTBC denied this was the case.
On March 27, 2012, news media reported that the show was in the process of being cancelled after similar music programs—MBN's Show K Music and Channel A's K-POP Con had both premiered around the same time as Music on Top—on other small networks had been cancelled due to low ratings and recruitment issues. The speculation was fuelled by the removal of the show's title from the network's broadcast schedule following the March 14 episode. In response, JTBC stated that that week's broadcast had already been prepared, and while discussions were ongoing as to the show's continuation, nothing had been decided. Producer Kim Hyung-joong denied the show was being cancelled and stated that a two-week hiatus—during which time new ideas for the show would be prepared—had originally been planned due to JTBC's development of an internal broadcasting system, but was now being extended to four to six weeks since it overlapped with the elections broadcast slated for April 11. Kim additionally stated that the show would resume on either April 18 or in the first week of May. On April 3, JTBC removed the show's title from its broadcast schedule for April 4 without citing any particular reason for the removal. An official from the network reiterated that this was not a |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20infrastructure | A data infrastructure is a digital infrastructure promoting data sharing and consumption.
Similarly to other infrastructures, it is a structure needed for the operation of a society as well as the services and facilities necessary for an economy to function, the data economy in this case.
Background
There is an intense discussion at international level on e-infrastructures and data infrastructure serving scientific work.
The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) presented the first European roadmap for large-scale Research Infrastructures.
These are modeled as layered hardware and software systems which support sharing of a wide spectrum of resources, spanning from networks, storage, computing resources, and system-level middleware software, to structured information within collections, archives, and databases. The e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG) has proposed a similar vision.
In particular, it envisions e-Infrastructures where the principles of global collaboration and shared resources are intended to encompass the sharing needs of all research activities.
In the framework of the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) e-infrastructure programme, e-Infrastructures are defined in terms of integration of networks, grids, data centers and collaborative environments, and are intended to include supporting operation centers, service registries, credential delegation services, certificate authorities, training and help desk services. The Cyberinfrastructure programme launched by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) plans to develop new research environments in which advanced computational, collaborative, data acquisition and management services are made available to researchers connected through high-performance networks.
More recently, the vision for “global research data infrastructures” has been drawn by identifying a number of recommendations for developers of future research infrastructures.
This vision document highlighted the open issues affecting data infrastructures development – both technical and organizational – and identified future research directions.
Besides these initiatives targeting “generic” infrastructures there are others oriented to specific domains, e.g. the European commission promotes the INSPIRE initiative for an e-Infrastructure oriented to the sharing of content and service resources of European countries in the ambit of geospatial datasets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioNumerics | BioNumerics is a bioinformatics desktop software application that manages microbiological data. It is developed by Applied Maths NV, a bioMérieux company.
History
BioNumerics was first released in 1998. PulseNet, a network run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), uses BioNumerics to compare pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns and whole genome sequences from different bacterial strains. CaliciNet, an outbreak surveillance network for noroviruses, is another example of a network which uses BioNumerics to submit norovirus sequences and basic epidemiologic information to a central database.
Features
The basis of BioNumerics is a database consisting of entries. The entries correspond to the individual organisms or samples under study and are characterized by a unique key and by a number of user-defined information fields. Each entry in a database may be characterized by one or more experiments that can be linked easily to the entry. In BioNumerics, experiments are divided in seven classes: fingerprints, spectra, characters, sequences, sequence read sets, trend data and matrices.
Examples of BioNumerics applications are whole genome Multi Locus Sequence Typing (wgMLST), whole genome Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (wgSNP), genome comparison, identification based on MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry, PFGE typing, Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) typing, sequence-based typing of viruses, antibiotic resistance profiling and functional genotyping.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meizu%20MX | The Meizu MX is a smartphone designed and produced by the Chinese manufacturer Meizu Technology, which runs on a modified Android operating system, dubbed as Flyme OS. It is the company's second Android-based smartphone, after the Meizu M9.
The MX is Meizu's first smartphone to be released outside mainland China, as its launch also happened in Hong Kong at the same time, on January 1, 2012.
Since the development phase, Meizu announced that the MX would come in a dual-core and a quad-core model, the second being due to be released later than the first. This made Meizu the first company to announce a quad-core smartphone and, later, the first to announce an Exynos 4-based smartphone, beating the Samsung Galaxy S III in marketing time (even though the latter went on sale first).
The MX was the first Meizu phone to achieve extensive coverage on tech blogs and websites outside China because of its features comparable to the flagship phones of major mobile phone manufacturers. Thanks to the good reception, rumors stated the MX could arrive on Western markets.
History
Design
The first rumors about a successor of the Meizu M9 leaked out in Q4 2010, even before M9's official launch itself, suggesting that a so-called M9II phone was in development, with a dual-core processor, 4-inch screen and 1 GB of RAM. Initially, this phone was supposed to look almost identical the M9, although with upgraded hardware, and some media thought it could have been a competitor in China to the iPhone 5, rumored to be in development, as happened with the Meizu M9.
In mid-April 2011 Meizu officially confirmed that the company was developing the phone, along with declaring that its name would be MX (M10, following the company's product name numeration). In this period the MX was attributed a Retina-like display resolution (1280x854 or 1200x900 pixels), which is not the one of the production models' display.
The device's final design, price and release date. were changed many times, as happened before with the M9.
Release
Pre-orders for the dual-core MX started on December 15, 2011, and granted a guarantee to receive the phone exactly on January 1, 2012, the day that official distribution started through the company's flagship stores (in China and Hong Kong). On launch day many customers waited for their turn outside the stores, forming queues (not as long as the ones for the M9 though); some reports claim that Meizu wanted to avoid attracting big crowds (for a matter of public order), so the customers who pre-ordered the devices were invited to arrive at the store only after receiving a phone confirmation. Even so, people started arriving the night before January 1.
Meizu assured that production and supplies would be able to meet customers' demand by 2012 Chinese New Year's Day (January 23), advising people to order the MX as soon as possible to receive it by that date.
Meanwhile, the quad-core version was rumored to be going on sale around mid-2012 and on April 16, |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual.ly | Visual.ly is a community platform for data visualization and infographics. It was founded by Stew Langille, Lee Sherman, Tal Siach, and Adam Breckler in 2011.
History
Visual.ly was inspired by the founders’ time at Mint.com. As Mint's Director of Marketing, Langille noticed that the infographics posted to MintLife, the company blog, generated 30 times more traffic than a comparable text article. According to Langille, “we knew we were onto something big.”
In April 2011, Langille, along with MintLife's Editor-in-Chief Lee Sherman and Adam Breckler, a Mint web developer, left Mint.com to co-found Visual.ly with Tal Siach, the founder of Walyou, an Israeli gadget site. Langille states that Visual.ly aims to evolve how digital news media outlets present information, similar to how USA Today’s weather infographics transformed news outlets in the early ‘90s and how Wired’s graphic design influenced digital media in the early 2000s.
In October 2011, Visual.ly announced a $2 million round in seed funding, led by Crosslink Capital, 500 Startups, and SoftTech. At the time of the announcement, Visual.ly had 26,000 users, 7,000 infographics, and 1 million monthly page views. They have partnered with The Atlantic, Buzzfeed, AskMen, CNNMoney, and National Geographic, among other media outlets, to provide infographics and data visualizations.
Site structure
Visual.ly is structured both as a showcase for infographics as well as a marketplace and community for publishers, designers, and researchers. The site allows users to search images through description, tags, and sources in a variety of categories, ranging from Education to Business or Politics. Users can publish infographics to their personal profile, which they can subsequently share through their social networks.
Visual.ly maintains a team of data analysts, journalists, and designers that create infographics and data visualizations using the Visual.ly tools. They are currently developing a tool that allows anyone to create and publish their own data visualizations. Through this tool, users will be able to gather information from databases and APIs in an automated service (meaning that users only need to specify the kind of information they want to visually display) to produce an infographic. Visual.ly’s first tool, the Twitter Visualizer tool allows users to input the Twitter handles of two people, and then generates an infographic comparing the hobbies, number of followers and occupation of the two accounts. CBC used this feature to compare leading politicians.
Reception
Visual.ly’s infographics have been featured on NPR, The Huffington Post and CNN. They were named as one of Inc. Magazine’s 10 new web tools to make life easier. Their YouTube channel has received over 100,000 views.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96sterg%C3%B6tland%20Runic%20Inscription%2077 | Östergötland Runic Inscription 77 or Ög 77 is the Rundata catalog designation for a Viking Age memorial runestone located at Hovgården (Hov Synod), which is seven kilometers north of Väderstad, Östergötland County, Sweden, and in the historic province of Östergötland.
Description
The inscription on Ög 77 has runic text carved in the younger futhark on a serpent that encircles a cross. The inscription is damaged and cannot be classified using the runestone styles developed by Anne-Sophie Gräslund in the 1990s as her classification system uses the depiction of the head of the serpent, which is missing on Ög 77. The stone was found in 1867 in the basement of a former royal family-owned building called the Kungslychan at Hovgården. Before the historic significance of runestones was recognized, they were often re-used as materials in the construction of churches, bridges, and roads. The stone, which had been broken in three pieces, was repaired and then raised just north of Hovgården.
The runic text on Ög 77 states that the stone was raised by a woman named either Tunna or Tonna in memory of her husband Þorfastr, who is described using the word óníðingr. Óníðingr, which with the ó- prefix means the opposite of the Old Norse pejorative word níðingr, was used to describe a man as being virtuous. Óníðingr is used as a descriptive word in some runic inscriptions and is translated in the Rundata database as "unvillainous." It is used as a descriptive term on inscriptions Sö 189 in Åkerby, Sm 5 in Transjö, Sm 37 in Rörbro, Sm 147 in Vasta Ed, and DR 68 in Århus, and appears as a name or part of a name on inscriptions Ög 217 in Oppeby, Sm 2 in Aringsås, and Sm 131 in Hjortholmen. The text on Ög 77, Sm 5, and Sm 37 use the same exact phrase, manna mæstr oniðingʀ or "most unvillainous of men" to describe the deceased, and DR 68 uses a variant of this phrase.

It is part of the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center and is on the campus of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, CA. The archive is funded by NASA and was launched in early December 2011 by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute as part of NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program. In June 2019, the archive's collection of confirmed exoplanets surpassed 4,000. (Compare: )
The archive's data include published light curves, images, spectra and parameters, and time-series data from surveys that aim to discover transiting exoplanets. The archive also develops Web-based tools and services to work with the data, particularly the display and analysis of transit data sets from the Kepler mission and COnvection ROtation and planetary Transits (CoRoT) mission, for which the Exoplanet Archive is the U.S. data portal. Other astronomical surveys and telescopes that have contributed data sets to the archive include SuperWASP, HATNet Project, XO, Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey and KELT.
According to third-party web analytics provider SimilarWeb, the company's website has over 130,000 visits per month, as of January 2015.
Exoplanet Data Content
The Exoplanet Archive contains objects discovered through all methods (radial velocity, transits, microlensing, imaging, astrometry, eclipse timing variations, and transit timing variations/TTV) that have publicly available planetary parameters, with a mass (or minimum mass) equal to or less than 30 Jupiter masses.
Exoplanet Archive Tools and Services
In addition to providing access to large public data sets, the Exoplanet Archive has developed several tools to work with exoplanet and stellar host data.
Interactive Visualizers for Planet Parameters: These interactive tables display data for confirmed planets, Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs), Threshold-Crossing Events (TCEs) and target stellar data that users can filter, sort and download or export to other Exoplanet Archive services, such as light curve visualization for the Kepler stars.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into%20Fat%20Air | "Into Fat Air" is the first episode of the eleventh season of the animated comedy series Family Guy. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on September 30, 2012. The episode follows the Griffin family having dinner with Lois' old boyfriend's family and climbing Mt. Everest.
The episode was written by Alec Sulkin and directed by Joseph Lee. "Into Fat Air" received mixed reviews from television critics for its storyline and cultural references. According to the Nielsen ratings, it was viewed in 6.55 million homes in its original airing. The episode featured guest performances by Elizabeth Banks and Martin Spanjers, along with several recurring guest voice actors for the series.
Plot
When Lois tells Peter of a dinner date with her former boyfriend Ross Fishman (who was previously seen in "Stuck Together, Torn Apart"), his wife Pam, and their son Ben, Peter is distressed. When Ross brags about their family vacations and that they plan to climb Mt. Everest, Peter decides the Griffins will also climb the mountain. When they return home, Peter realizes he overspoke and asks Lois to make up an excuse, but Lois is also annoyed by the Fishmans' smug attitude and proposes they actually climb Mt. Everest.
Arriving in Nepal, the Griffins find the Fishmans, who are surprised they actually followed through with the trip. While climbing, they discover they are ahead of the Fishmans. But when they reach the top, they discover the Fishmans beat them there. As they start back down, things go awry when they get stuck on the mountainside in the middle of a massive storm. Starving after Peter mistook trail mix for a mix tape, they come across the dead frozen body of Ben and decide to eat him to survive. They pass Ross and Pam, who are going back up the mountain searching for their son, and come within sight of base camp. But as Lois watches the storm clouds, she decides to have the family go back after the Fishmans to save them from certain death. They discover the Fishmans lying unconscious in a crevasse and send Peter down on a rope to rescue them. Peter barely gets Ross and Pam out alongside the rock he saved before the family heads back to base camp. Back at base camp, Ross and Pam are loaded onto a helicopter to be taken to a hospital to recuperate. As Ross and Pam are airlifted out, Peter casually reveals that they ate their son.
Production and development
The episode was written by Alec Sulkin and directed by Joseph Lee. Steve Callaghan, Mark Hentemann, Danny Smith, Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild served as executive producers, and James Purdum, Dominic Bianchi as supervising directors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MVS%20TV | MVS TV (stylized MVStv) is a Mexican general entertainment programming cable television network owned by MVS Comunicaciones. The cable channel was launched along with the wireless cable television company MVS Multivision in Mexico City, now called MASTV. An associated broadcast subscription television service in the Mexico City area has been the subject of litigation since the early 2000s as part of MVS's bid to convert the concession to allow broadcast, non-pay television services over the channel.
History
Television channel launch
On September 1, 1989, MVS launched the Multivisión MMDS wireless cable system, including a bouquet of original channels. One of them, Multicable, was the flagship offering, with a program lineup of foreign series dubbed into Spanish, a cartoon block and a news program hosted by Pedro Ferriz de Con; in addition to airing on its own MMDS system, it was added to the Mexico City cable system operated by Cablevisión, the cable TV arm of Televisa, with its 400,000 subscribers. The channel's name changed to AS in 1992 and then MAS in 1996. In the 1990s, AS/MAS was where Carmen Aristegui and Javier Solórzano would work together before branching off in their distinguished journalism careers; Ferriz de Con would leave in 1999, leaving the newscast with a skeleton crew for two months before Raul Peimbert was tapped to replace him. Additionally, MAS carried coverage of the 2000 Summer Olympics.
The Channel 52 saga
In 2000, Cablevisión received concessions to operate a pay television service over channels 46 and 52 in Mexico City. The original 2000 concession restricted Cablevisión to only providing one program service per channel and provided for transmission with an effective radiated power of 250,000 watts. The award of these concessions to Cablevisión had been contested by MVS since November 1994, with the company claiming that the award was illegal and would affect Multivisión. Ultimately, MVS was given operational control of channel 52. It announced it would use the channel to launch a new television service known as "5INCUENTAYDO2" (a stylized reading of "fifty-two", cincuenta y dos) effective October 1, 2001, and it even ran promos for channel 52 in the clear—in violation of the concession, which explicitly stipulated that only pay TV services could be provided. The channel went ahead on pay and cable systems (including MVS's own) as a replacement for MAS, with the name being shortened to 52MX in 2006.
In 2004, MVS received the concession itself as part of a settlement with Cablevisión. The first renewal of the concession, which expired in 2010, would be contested. The Secretariat of Communications and Transportation informed Cablevisión and MVS that their channel 46 and 52 concessions would not be renewed, as no application was filed in time. MVS challenged the SCT and won. On September 19, 2013, it received a renewal for the Channel 52 concession, with a wrinkle: the station would move from channel 52 to 51 in order |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZAZ%20%28TV%20channel%29 | ZAZ was a Mexican cable television network owned by MVS Comunicaciones aimed at children and teenagers. The cable network was launched in Mexico in October 1991 and expanded to the rest of Latin America in 1996. In Mexico and Latin America, it was available through various cable television companies. Originally, its programming consisted of "non-violent" animated and live-action series. However, in its final years the channel's concept was changed, airing anime series and family movies.
Due to low ratings and gradual loss of programming, the channel ceased operations on July 31, 2012, with no official replacement (many cable systems that carried ZAZ replaced it with the music-oriented channel Exa TV, also owned by MVS).
History
ZAZ launched in 1991 as the third children's cable channel in Latin America after Cablin and The Big Channel in Argentina. It was only seen in Mexico through the MMDS MVS Multivisión platform. At launch, ZAZ broadcast children's programming, primarily cartoons, of American, Canadian, French, and English origin, both classic and contemporary. ZAZ was initially noted for broadcasting series from the Fox Kids Network; a year later it would also air programs from Nickelodeon and CINAR. ZAZ also began airing adult/family-skewing sitcoms, dramas, and movies from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM, primarily sourced from Warner Bros. In 1993, Fox Kids programming moved to the new Latin American FOX channel, so ZAZ continued to air Nickelodeon programming and obtained programs from Nelvana, Alliance, and DIC Entertainment.
ZAZ lost Nickelodeon programs in 1996 due to the launch of Nickelodeon in Latin America but compensated for the loss with acquired series from various production companies from around the world and Latin America. One of its most successful programs during the second half of the 1990s was the English video game program Cybernet, originally called Gameswatch, which continued to air until March 2011. However, it moved to the MAS channel in some periods, also from MVS Multivision.
In 1996, ZAZ launched on DirecTV, expanding to all of Latin America; ZAZ also began calling itself a non-violent channel.
In August 2003, the channel changed its name to ZAZ Moviepark and focused more on family movies and less series, which occupied a small space. The magazine Selecciones del Reader's Digest had its own sponsored movie segment, Al Cine Con Selecciones, where films of different types were also broadcast, including some independent productions.
On April 7, 2008, after several years without presenting new programs, ZAZ began a renewal of the channel with the premiere of Argentina telenovela Rebelde Way and changing its name back to ZAZ while changing its target audience to tweens. That same year, due to the launch of the Dish México system by MVS and Telmex, which caused a new "war" of pay TV services with Televisa, SKY, Cablevisión} and Cablemás, they withdrew MVS Televisión's channels including ZAZ.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHFS | CHFS is a file system developed at the Department of Software Engineering, University of Szeged, Hungary. It was the first open source flash memory-specific file system written for the NetBSD operating system. Intended usage is over raw flash devices on embedded systems like ARM and MIPS, the filesystem is less suitable for use on consumer SSD (because consumer SSDs already make sure to not use the same physical blocks for writing modified data).
Structure
Similar to UBIFS, the CHFS file system utilizes a separate layer for handling Flash aging and bad blocks, called EBH (erase block handler). The file system itself is modelled after JFFS2, thus the internal structure is very similar.
ChewieFS
CHFS was originally called ChewieFS during development. The name was changed to avoid legal issues and to have a more neutral name.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%20McGinty | Tom McGinty is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist known for his use and advocacy of computer-assisted reporting.
Early life
McGinty grew up in Utica, New York. He moved to Minnesota with his family when he was 15. He attended college in Minnesota before moving to Utica College of Syracuse University in New York State, where he graduated in 1993 with a bachelor's degree in public relations and journalism.
Career
McGinty began his career in 1993 working for the Times of Trenton in New Jersey. In 1999, he joined Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) as the training director teaching journalists how to use the Internet to aid their investigations. He left in 2001 to join Newsday as a staff writer.
McGinty and fellow Newsday reporters wrote a series of articles in 2004 detailing their investigation into a circulation scandal at the newspaper. Executives had been inflating circulation numbers and the newspaper staff wanted to know how bad the corruption was, so they investigated the scandal themselves. Their 75+ articles published from July through December were finalists for a 2004 IRE Award.
McGinty left Newsday to join The Wall Street Journal at the beginning of 2008 as an investigative reporter specializing in computer-assisted reporting. While there, his work was a finalist for several awards. He earned the 2011 and 2012 Gerald Loeb Awards for Online Enterprise. He was part of a team that sifted through newly released Medicare records and produced a series of reports called "Medicare Unmasked" that earned the 2014 FOI Award from the IRE, the 2015 Gerald Loeb Award for Investigative business journalism, and shared the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Journalism. In 2018, he received the New York Press Club Award for Consumer Reporting (Newspaper) for the report, "The Morningstar Mirage".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur%20Computer%20Club | The Amateur Computer Club (ACC), founded in 1973, was an early British club "open to all interested in the design, construction or programming of computers as a hobby". Most of its members lived in the United Kingdom. In 1976 an educational journal described the growth of "hobbyist" computing and said "in [the UK] there is currently one shop ... and also an active Amateur Computer Club with over 600 members".
Foundation
Starting the ACC was an initiative of Mike Lord of Basildon, Essex in March 1973. He published a note in the popular electronics magazine Wireless World with a proposal to write to him if one liked the idea of having a Computer Club.
Activities
The primary way to support the members in their hobby was the ACC Newsletter (ACCN), with varied information pertinent to amateurs building, learning, using or just plainly interested in computers. The typewritten leaflet was published every 3 months starting with number 1 in March 1973. ACCN1 contained a description of the instruction set of a simple 10-bit computer designed by one of the first members: Ian Spencer. In August 1973 it mentions an offer to demonstrate a homemade copy of a PDP-8 made by John Florentin. This machine had been demonstrated earlier in March 1973 at a meeting of the Surrey Radio Contact club in Croydon. Mike published nearly anything that passed by or was sent to him, such as availability (and data sheets) of surplus and obsolete computer hardware, how to get free computer time on a university computer, latest price quotes for the newest chips (Intel 4004 and 8008, memory), algorithms, code tables etcetera.
Through the members list of ACC many contacts were made, enabling members to write to and meet each other, which resulted in meetings in several places.
Current Status
The ACC does not exist any more. It is not known when and how it expired. The last symptoms known were that local chapters were forming in several British cities that seemed to operate independently of the ACC.
Other Clubs
The example of ACC was inspiring.
In ACCN vol 2 iss 3 of August 1974, the start of a new club was announced: Association Française des Amateurs Constructeurs d´Ordinateurs (AFACO) by J-C Ribes in Meudon, France.
In ACCN vol 5 iss 2 of June 1977, the start of a new club in Dutch language was announced: Hobby Computer Club (HCC) by Dick Barnhoorn, Leidschendam, Netherlands.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me2day | Me2day () was a microblogging and social networking service in South Korea acquired and owned by NHN Corporation (present-day Naver Corporation). Similar to Twitter, Me2day was popular in South Korea with earlier establishments in android market, especially among adolescents and youth of twenties. Me2DAY had an open API and most of the applications built around it added entertainment benefits to the site. OpenID was available until March 2010, but since then until the site's closure at the end of June 2014, registration was required. Information acquired during registration included only email address, ID, and password. It allowed users to send and receive up to 150 characters to each other. Many people like Big Bang, Wonder Girls, 2NE1, F(x), 2PM, Kim Tae-hee, SHINee, U-Kiss and Seoul Samsung Thunders used the service as a way of keeping their fans updated about their whereabouts. Because Me2day was run by the NHN Corporation, the creator of one of the biggest Korean portal websites Naver.com, a Naver ID user could also immediately set up an account for Me2day without signing up.
Features
A user can befriend another by adding him/her as a friend, which will send the person a request according to the account settings; a user can change account settings to enable automatic acceptance of friends or can manually accept friends by clicking accept on their friend request. In addition, a function is provided for uploading a selected day's postings onto a personal blog in Tistory.
Summon (소환) - Similar to Twitter's "mention," allowed the user to add other users and talk to them.
Me2 - Similar to Twitter's "retweet", allowed the user to repost another user's message. The term derives from the English expression of agreement, ‘Me, too’.
Band - Allowed a user to start fan clubs, interest groups, etc.
me2day had apps available for users of iOS and Android
Site closure
On November 28, 2013, Me2day sent out an email to all users informing them that they will officially be shutting down the service on June 30, 2014.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Import%20and%20export%20of%20data | The import and export of data is the automated or semi-automated input and output of data sets between different software applications. It involves "translating" from the format used in one application into that used by another, where such translation is accomplished automatically via machine processes, such as transcoding, data transformation, and others. True exports of data often contain data in raw formats otherwise unreadable to end-users without the user interface that was designed to render it.
Import and export of data shares semantic analogy with copying and pasting, in that sets of data are copied from one application and pasted into another. In fact, the software development behind operating system clipboards (and clipboard extender apps) greatly concerns the many details and challenges of data transformation and transcoding, in order to present the end user with the illusion of effortless copy and paste between any two apps, no matter how internally different. The "Save As" command in many applications requires much of the same engineering, when files are saved as another file format.
The ability to import and export data (or lack of such ability) has large economic implications, because it can be resource-intensive to input data in non-automated ways (such as manual rekeying), and because lack of interoperability and data portability between systems unable to import or export data between each other causes stovepiping, lack of opportunity and efficiencies such as those seen in, for example, mash-ups, and may not suffice in its ability to search for information as enabled by tools such as grep.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unclick | Unclick is a term, increasingly applied in the context of computing, in which a computer user un-chooses or de-selects a specific preference, typically by moving a cursor over a selection, and pressing the left mouse button. As a result, the check mark image or dark circle inside a checkbox or a radio button is removed. While in January 2012 the term unclick is generally not formally defined in dictionaries, the term has been used in popular parlance in countries such as the United States, Britain, and Canada.
Background
As the Internet becomes an increasingly popular medium for marketers, vendors and marketers often presume that a user will prefer certain choices, such as receiving emails in the future, having specific computer settings, or preferring that specific programs will be operational when a computer is turned on. As a result, it is sometimes necessary for a user to unclick these choices to avoid exposure to unwanted advertising, or to avoid a situation in which a different website is chosen for one's home page. In Internet marketing, unclicking is often required for a user to avoid being billed automatically for unnecessary services, sometimes part of a deceptive business practice termed negative option billing. A user's Facebook privacy settings have often been chosen in advance by Facebook Inc., which presumes that a user would like particular settings, and to un-choose these options, a user may need to unclick or opt-out of the Facebook-determined choices by finding the right menus. According to behavioral economics, computer and Internet users have a general tendency to go along with a default setting.
Other contexts
The term unclick has also been used in other contexts, such as when there is a latching or locking mechanism, such as a lock on a briefcase, or seat belts in a car or airplane, or door lock, or other mechanisms which typically make a "clicking" sound. In these contexts, unclicking means to open the latch or seat belt. It has also been used in the context of guns, in which a safety catch is "unclicked", or flooring materials in which pieces are interlocked, The term has been used to describe the act of answering a cell phone by pressing on a button when it is ringing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese%20animation | Vietnamese animation, known in Vietnamese as Hoạt hình (lit. Cartoon), or Hoạt họa (lit. Animation), is a term to describe animation films (hand-drawn and computer-generated) which originates from Vietnam.
History
Vietnamese animation began in 1959 when the Vietnam Animation Studio was formed by a group of young animators (Ngô Mạnh Lân, Lê Minh Hiền, Hồ Quảng, Trương Qua...). They were educated in the historical Soviet Union.
1958–1975
The first Vietnamese animation was Đáng đời thằng Cáo (Worthy of the Fox) based on a poem called Con cáo và tổ ong (The fox and the Beehive) produced in 1959, is the first film of the Vietnamese animation industry. It is based on a poem consisting of 14 lines, telling the story of the fox trying to dig out the beehive to eat honey, but the bees gathered to sting the fox, which scared away the fox. The poem was written at a time when anti-Japanese and anti-West imperialist sentiments were high.
Tổ ong lủng lẳng trên cành
Trong đầy mật nhộng ngon lành lắm thay.
Cáo già nhè nhẹ lên cây
Định rằng lấy được, ăn ngay cho giòn.
Ong thấy Cáo muốn cướp con,
Kéo nhau xúm lại vây tròn Cáo ta.
Châm đầu, châm mắt Cáo già
Cáo già đau quá phải sa xuống rồi.
Ong kia yêu giống yêu nòi
Đồng tâm hiệp lực đuổi loài cáo đi.
Bây giờ ta thử so bì,
Ong còn đoàn kết, huống chi là người !
Nhật, Tây áp bức giống nòi,
Ta nên đoàn kết để đòi tự do.
English Translation:
A beehive dangling from a branch
Filled with delicious nectar.
The old fox gently climbs the tree
Determined to get it, eat it right away until it's crispy.
The bee saw that the fox wanted to rob him,
Pulling together to surround the fox.
Stinging the head, stinging the eyes of the old fox
The old fox was in so much pain that he had to fall down.
The other bee loves the species
Teaming up to chase away the foxes.
Now let's compare,
Bees are still united, let alone people!
Japan and West oppress the race,
We should unite to demand freedom.

Vietnamese Animation Studio has been producing 8-10 cartoons a year, most of them are traditionally drawn or by computer and a lot of animations by students groups and small studios. With the rising Vietnamese comics industry in 2010s, Vietnamese animation is hoped to rise, with Asian comics & animation and Western comics & animation to be an initial inspiration for Vietnamese animations and comics to initially draw from.
Since 2016, animation in Vietnam has seen a significant improvement in 3D animation techniques, thanks to independent animation studios such as Colory Animation or Red Cat Motion. Besides, 2D animation has also had a noticeable change, with the example of DeeDee Animation Studio. Because of the production costs of animation in Vietnam is relatively lower than the global average, Vietnamese animation studios are usually selected as the outsourcing partners for international animation projects.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBUS%20%28serial%20buses%29 | In building automation, eBUS (energy bus) is a 2-wire digital serial data-bus communication interface used in heating and solar energy appliances, by mainly German manufacturers. It was originally proposed by the Karl Dungs company, and has since been adopted by several other manufacturers. The eBUS interface has also been used by home-automation enthusiasts to connect their domestic solar or heating system to a networked PC for monitoring or remote control.
Physical layer
The eBUS 2-wire interface is an asynchronous serial port with active-low voltage that exchanges 8-bit bytes with start and (single) stop bits (no parity bit), at a symbol rate of 2400 baud, and can be implemented with a standard UART plus a voltage converter. It differs from the RS-232 interface, from which it is derived, in that the voltage levels were chosen to allow the bus also to supply power to bus participants, that can use a voltage stabilizer to derive an internal 5 V supply:
logical 0 = 9–12 volt
logical 1 = 15–24 volt (typical: 20 V)
Data-link layer
Bus participants are either "masters" or "slaves". Only masters can initiate a command, by issuing a data packet that consists of
8-bit source address (lower 4 bits: priority class, higher 4 bits: bus master address)
8-bit destination address (254 unicast destinations, 0xfe = broadcast)
16-bit command code (8 bit primary command byte and 8 bit secondary command byte)
8-bit data length indicator: 0–16 (not counting additional bytes inserted by the byte stuffing rule)
0–16 data bytes
8-bit cyclic redundancy check byte (generator: x8+x7+x4+x3+x+1)
Recipients acknowledge such a command with a single acknowledge byte 0x00 (received correctly) or 0xff (received incorrectly). Slaves follow their acknowledge byte with a reply of a length byte and 0–16 data bytes plus CRC, which the receiving master in turn confirms with an acknowledge byte.
As the last step of a data exchange, the master finishes a command by sending a synchronization byte SYN (0xaa). This signals to other masters that the bus is available for use again. A byte stuffing rule (0xa9 -> 0xa9 0x00, 0xaa -> 0xa9 0x01) is applied to all other bytes sent, to ensure that 0xaa does not appear on the wire as part of any transmitted data other than in the final synchronization byte.
The transmission of a command can only appear immediately after a SYN byte was seen on the bus. If no SYN byte has appeared on the bus for 35 ms, the bus supply transmits one to ensure that there remain transmission opportunities (AUTO-SYN). Each bus master accessing the bus immediately after a SYN has to verify (in their UART's receiver buffer) that the source address byte that they sent has indeed appeared on the bus intact and has not collided with another master's transmission attempt. In the latter case, the transmission must be aborted and a collision-resolution procedure is initiated: at the next AUTO-SYN, participants with a priority class lower than the highest that p |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolleybuses%20in%20St.%20Gallen | The St. Gallen trolleybus system () forms part of the public transport network of St. Gallen, the capital city of the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Opened in 1950, the system is currently operated by (VBSG). , it consists of a cross-city line and three radial lines, all of which meet at St. Gallen railway station, and has a total route length of .
History
In the 1950s, the trolleybus system gradually replaced the . The last tram ran on 30 September 1957. The individual trolleybus line sections went into service as follows:
Lines
The present system is made up of the following lines:
To this day, the Trogenerbahn (Trogen Railway) runs through the inner city between the station and Brühltor on the rails of the former tramway, and thus parallel to the trolleybuses. The two modes of transport still share a common electrical substation. In the relevant section of the common route, the overhead wire voltage is only 600 V DC, as is the rest of the trolleybus system. By contrast, the remainder of the Trogenerbahn route was energised at 1,000 V DC. It now forms part of the Appenzell–St. Gallen–Trogen railway and the section that was energised at 1,000 V DC, is now energised at 1,500 V DC.
In Riethüsli, the terminus of Line 5, there is an interchange station for changing between the trolleybus system and the electrically operated Appenzell–St. Gallen–Trogen railway. Before the opening of the Ruckhalde Tunnel and rerouting of the line in 2018, the two systems used common overhead catenary poles at that station and suspension wires for about , but were electrically isolated from each other.
Line 4 has existed only since 9 December 2007. Previously, line 1 had had three different termini from 1991, and four from 1996.
Fleet
Retired fleet
The original group numbered 101–118, the fleet that opened the system in 1950, were rebodied by Hess between 1968 and 1975 and fitted with a new backup battery. They were simultaneously renumbered as fleet nos. 131–148, but not in the same sequence. Trailer operations ended either in 1991 or in March 1992.
Disposal abroad
In 1992, all twelve trolleybuses of the 1957–58 series were sold, together with the 1969–70 trailers, to the Warsaw trolleybus system in Poland, and were placed in service. That system was nevertheless closed soon afterwards, in 1995. One of the former St. Gallen/Warsaw trolleybuses (No. 128) was sold in 2001 to the Gdynia trolleybus system, also in Poland, where it later came into use as a heritage vehicle, renumbered 3300, operating service occasionally. By 2012, its original, St. Gallen fleet number of 128 had been restored.
Trolleybuses 142, 143, 144, 146 and 147 were sold in 1992 to the Valparaíso trolleybus system in Chile, but they were used in service there only briefly – most in 1992 only, with one (142) in sporadic use until 1995 or early 1996. Since 17 November 2008, ex-St. Gallen trolleybus no. 142 has been used there as a staff break room and souvenir sales outlet at t |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%20Computer%20Animated%20Hand | A Computer Animated Hand is the title of a 1972 American computer-animated short film produced by Edwin Catmull and Fred Parke. Produced during Catmull's tenure at the University of Utah, the short was created for a graduate course project. After creating a model of his left hand, 350 triangles and polygons were drawn in ink on its surface. The model was digitized from the data and laboriously animated in a three-dimensional animation program that Catmull wrote.
The hand animation consists of three sequences, all rotating. The first is the data output of the hand (now called vertices) connected by lines (now called edges) but not filled with faces. The second is a halftone sequence that shows flat shading but lacks smooth shading. The final, completed animation, with organic smooth shading of the surface between the data points, depicts the hand swiveling, opening and closing, pointing at the viewer, and tilting back so the camera can move to the inside of the hand. The clip also features computer animations of an artificial heart valve and human faces. Snippets of the animations were used in the 1976 Hollywood science fiction film Futureworld.
The short film has been called groundbreaking and revolutionary for being one of the earliest examples of computer animation. Catmull went on to become a co-founder of Pixar and then its president and president of Walt Disney Animation Studios. In 2011, the film was inducted into the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Library of Congress scholars wrote: "In creating the film, Catmull worked out concepts that would become the foundation for computer graphics that followed."
Production
Catmull hoped as a child to become a Disney animator, but reversed his ideas in high school, ruefully concluding he lacked the ability to draw. He graduated from the University of Utah in 1969 with a degree in computer science and physics, taking a job at Boeing shortly afterward. His position was soon terminated in a mass layoff along with thousands of other employees. Catmull revised his idea of becoming an animator during this time, believing computers might allow him to animate.
Fred Parke, a fellow Ph.D. student in his class who helped produce the film, recalled that computer animation was "sort of on the lunatic fringe at that time. […] People were just barely to the point where they could get a computer to put out still images." It was obvious it would take years for the state of the art in computer hardware to catch up with this ambition, and there were multiple problems on the mathematical and programming side. Nevertheless, in 1972, Catmull took the opportunity to create the short animated clip for a graduate course project.
Catmull used his left hand as the basis for the clip, first creating a model of it. He began making a plaster-of-paris mold of his hand and accidentally pulled off the hair on the back of his hand while removing the mold. He then made a |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francoist%20concentration%20camps | In Francoist Spain, at least two to three hundred concentration camps operated from 1936 until 1947, some permanent and many others temporary. The network of camps was an instrument of Franco's repression.
People such as Republican ex-combatants of the People's Army, the Air Force and the Navy, to political dissidents and their families, the poor, Moroccan separatists, homosexuals, gypsies and common prisoners ended up in these camps. The Classified Commissions that operated within the camps determined the fate of those interned: those that were declared "recoverable" were released; the "minority disaffected" and without political responsibility were sent to the worker's battalions; and the "seriously disaffected" were sent to prison and were under the order of the War Audit to be prosecuted by military court. Those classified as "common criminals" were also sent to prison. According to the official numbers of the Inspectorate of Concentration Camps of Prisoners, at the end of the civil war, 177,905 enemy soldiers were imprisoned in the approximately 100 existing camps and were detained pending trial classification. The Inspectorate also reported that until then, 431,251 people had passed through the camps.
As in many other Concentration Camps, the prisoners were ranked so that ordinary violent prisoners (thus without political or ideological motivations) were a step higher than most of those who were locked up, working as "guards" (cabos de vara), over the others. Despite the massive destruction of documentation on the camps, studies claim that they were characterized by the labor exploitation of prisoners, organized in workers battalions.
There is consensus among historians to confirm, according to testimonies of survivors, witnesses, and the Franco Reports themselves, that the conditions of internment “were, in general, atrocious”. Added to this, is the fact that the rebels did not recognize Republican soldiers as prisoners of war, so that the Geneva Convention of 1929, signed years earlier by King Alfonso XIII on behalf of Spain, did not apply to them. Illegality in the treatment of prisoners materialized in the use of prisoners for military work (explicitly prohibited by the Convention), widespread preventivity (internment without conviction), use of torture to obtain testimonies and denunciations, and absence of judicial guarantees. With regard to the official administration of the camps, widespread corruption, which enabled the enrichment of many military personnel and aggravated the suffering of inmates in their custody, has also been highlighted.
History
According to Javier Rodrigo, about half a million prisoners passed through the concentration camps between 1936 and 1942. In 2019, Carlos Hernández de Miguel identified about 300 confirmed camps, estimating that between 700,000 and 1 million people would have passed through them.
The first concentration camp was created by the rebel military on July 19, 1936, hours after the upris |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberstalker%20%28film%29 | Cyberstalker (a.k.a. Offline) is a 2012 Lifetime television thriller directed by Curtis Crawford and starring Mischa Barton. Barton portrays a young artist living in seclusion after her parents were murdered by her stalker thirteen years prior; this peace is suddenly disturbed by his reappearance. On 10 July 2012, a trailer was released. It was televised in the United States on 14 September 2012.
Plot
Aiden Ashley's life is torn apart thirteen years ago, when an online stalker tracks down her home and murders her parents. The stalker fled the crime scene without revealing his face to Aiden.
As a consequence, she shuns the Internet for the next thirteen years, attending therapy sessions and living in seclusion. She breaks this life situation after her friend and art dealer, Winton Cornelis, convinces her to hold a public art gala showcasing her own work. The event marks a significant turn in her life when she becomes romantically involved with a guest, Paul Rogers.
Meanwhile, Detective James Page continues to investigate the case of Aiden's parents' murder and recent cyber-stalking. Page hires cyber-security whiz Jack Dayton to research Aiden's life. Dayton makes the discovery that her stalker is still at large, following her undetected, and installing hidden cameras in her home.
Suspicion turns to Aiden's art dealer, with the discovery of financial transactions to his bank accounts from hers. Aiden's love interest Paul's troubled past is also revealed. Detective Page's own involvement appears curious, as he is the only one meticulously following a cold case after thirteen years. As things progress, Aiden's stalker becomes more desperate to be a part of her life while she is determined not to let him blow her life apart again.
Eventually, Jack Dayton is revealed to be the stalker and murderer of Aiden's parents, and in an ensuing confrontation, Aiden denounces Dayton for his actions and rejects his love, breaking his heart, and Dayton is ultimately shot dead by Detective Page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGP%20VAN | NGP VAN, Inc. is an American privately owned voter database and web hosting service provider used by the Democratic Party, Democratic campaigns, and other non-profit organizations authorized by the Democratic Party. The platform or service is used by political and social campaigns for fundraising, campaign finance compliance, field organizing, and digital organizing. NGP VAN, Inc. was formerly known as Voter Activation Network, Inc. and changed its name to NGP VAN, Inc. in January 2011. The company was founded in 2001 and is based in Washington, D.C., with an additional location in Somerville, Massachusetts.
In 2009, the company was the largest partisan provider of campaign compliance software, used by most Democratic members of Congress. The company's services have been utilized by clients such as the Obama 2008 presidential campaign, the Obama 2012 presidential campaign, the Hillary Rodham Clinton 2016 presidential campaign, the Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential campaign, the British Liberal Democrats, and the Liberal Party of Canada.
History
NGP VAN was created in November 2010 by the merger of its two predecessor companies: NGP Software (founded in 1997 by Nathaniel Pearlman, who later served as chief technology officer for Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, in his attic in Washington, DC), and Voter Activation Network (founded in 2001 by Mark Sullivan, in his study in Cambridge, Massachusetts).
In October 2014, NGP VAN launched their EveryAction fundraising management platform for non-profits.
There are occasional accusations that the Democratic Party has restricted access to Votebuilder to hold off a challenge to an incumbent office holder in a primary. For example, Rachel Ventura, running against an incumbent Democrat in IL-11, was told "I've heard from our Executive Director. Your request for Votebuilder for Illinois' 11th Congressional District through the Democratic Party of Illinois has been denied due to our regulations that we don't issue subscriptions to candidates challenging an incumbent."
In 2019, the company made three acquisitions; ActionKit, BSD Kit from Blue State Digital, and DonorTrends.
In 2021, NGP VAN's parent company, EveryAction, Inc., was acquired by London-based private equity firm Apax Partners. The company also named Amanda Coulombe President of NGP VAN.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline%20of%20search%20engines | The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to search engines.
Search engine – information retrieval system designed to help find information stored on a computer system. The search results are usually presented as a list, and are commonly called hits.
Types of search engines
Database search engine – search engine that operates on material stored in a digital database
Desktop search engine –
Distributed search engine – search engine where there is no central server. Unlike traditional centralized search engines, work such as crawling, data mining, indexing, and query processing is distributed among several peers in decentralized manner where there is no single point of control.
Enterprise search engine – search engine employed on and for access to the information on an organization's computer network.
Human search engine – uses human participation to filter the search results and assist users in clarifying their search request. The goal is to provide users with a limited number of relevant results, as opposed to traditional search engines that often return a large number of results that may or may not be relevant.
Hybrid search engine – uses different types of data with or without ontologies to produce the algorithmically generated results based on web crawling. Previous types of search engines only use text to generate their results.
Intelligent medical search engine
Metasearch engine – search tool[1] that sends user requests to several other search engines and/or databases and aggregates the results into a single list or displays them according to their source. Metasearch engines enable users to enter search criteria once and access several search engines simultaneously.
Search aggregator
Organic search engine – manually operated search service which uses a combination of computer algorithms and human researchers to look up a search query. A search query submitted to an organic search engine is analysed by a human operator who researches the query then formats the response to the user.
Web search engine – designed to search for information on the World Wide Web and FTP servers. The search results are generally presented in a list of results often referred to as SERPS, or "search engine results pages".
Audio search engine – web-based search engine which crawls the web for audio content.
Collaborative search engine – emerging trend for Web search and Enterprise search within company intranets. CSEs let users concert their efforts in information retrieval (IR) activities, share information resources collaboratively using knowledge tags, and allow experts to guide less experienced people through their searches.
Social search engine – type of web search that takes into account the Social Graph of the person initiating the search query.
Video search engine – web-based search engine which crawls the web for video content. Some video search engines parse externally hosted content while others allow content |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot%20%28Nikita%29 | "Pilot" is the series premiere of the American television series Nikita. It premiered in the United States on The CW Television Network on September 9, 2010. The episode was written by series creator Craig Silverstein and directed by Danny Cannon.
This episode introduces the series' main characters and the motivation behind the title character Nikita's mission to bring down a secret agency in the government called Division. "Pilot" received mostly positive reviews from television critics. It was watched by 3.6 million viewers and earned a 1.9 rating for women 18–34, matching the CW's highest rating ever in the Thursday 9:00pm timeslot and drawing the largest audience that the CW had had in over a year and a half.
Plot
After escaping from a secret unit of the government known as Division three years ago, Nikita (Maggie Q) suddenly resurfaces when she visits her abusive foster father Gary (David Ferry) and tells him what happened to her after she had run away from his house as a teenager. She became addicted to drugs, and six years ago, she reportedly killed a police officer, though she cannot remember whether she did so or not. She was sentenced to death, but Division faked her execution and trained her to be an assassin. However, she broke one of their rules by falling in love with a civilian, Daniel Monroe (Sebastien Roberts). Division had Daniel killed in what appeared to be an accident, and this prompted Nikita to escape. Nikita explains all of this to Gary, knowing full well that doing so would alert Division to her presence.
Meanwhile, in Detroit, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) is captured by the police during a failed robbery, while her accomplice escapes. Shortly after being brought to prison, Alex wakes up to find herself inside Division. Michael (Shane West), Division's second-in-command, informs Alex that they have faked her death and that she is being offered a second chance - an opportunity to serve her government. She soon meets two other recruits, Thom (Ashton Holmes) and Jaden (Tiffany Hines), as well as Amanda (Melinda Clarke), Division's psychologist who also assists in training the recruits. Amanda guesses correctly that Alex had been smuggled to the US after being sold to human traffickers in Ukraine.
Percy (Xander Berkeley), the head of Division gets wind of Nikita's reemergence and assigns Michael to kill her. Nikita once again gets Division's attention by visiting Daniel's grave. A strike team is sent to go after her, but, during the attack, Nikita captures Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford), Division's head technician. She demands that he give her access to Division's computer network. Even though he doesn't comply, she lets Birkhoff return to Division unharmed.
In spite of Nikita, Percy decides to go ahead with all of Division's operations, including Operation Black Arrow, in which the head of a West African nation is targeted for assassination. Nikita learns about Black Arrow from an unknown source and sabotages the mission. Nikita th |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TR-196 | TR-196 (Technical Report 196) is a Broadband Forum technical specification. Its official title is "Femto Access Point Service Data Model." The purpose of this Technical Report is to specify the Data Model for the Femto Access Point (FAP) for remote management purposes using the TR-069 CWMP.
FAP is a generic terminology that implies any Radio Access Technology (RAT). In 3GPP's terminology, Home Node B is the name for 3G (UMTS) and Home eNode B for LTE.
Details
There are two major releases ("Issue" in BBF terminology) of TR-196 data model. Issue 1 is the first publication which supports UMTS HNB only. It was later expanded to include LTE HeNB and CDMA2000 FAP, and was released as Issue 2.
TR-196 is a specification of Broadband Forum (BBF). But its work is closely related to 3GPP's work on HNB and HeNB, and 3GPP2's work on femtocell. In turn, 3GPP and 3GPP2's work were originally driven by the activities in Femto Forum (now called Small Cell Forum).
Most of the work for the first publication of TR-196 was done within Femto Forum. The work was later submitted to 3GPP SA WG5 to standardize it as respective Technical Specifications (TS). It led to the collaboration between 3GPP and Broadband Forum to officially publish it as BBF Data Model called TR-196.
History
When Femto Forum (current Small Cell Forum) was launched in 2007, one of the main issues in the Femtocell industry was the lack of standardized femtocell architecture, including the standardized O&M framework. In order to avoid the fragmentation in the market, Femto Forum initially focused on these areas. As the Forum reached consensus, the leading companies brought the joint proposal to 3GPP to standardize the HNB architecture.
The standardization in the signalling (Control Plane) architecture later resulted in Iu-h interface in 3GPP. It includes the specification of signalling protocol Home Node B Application Part (HNBAP) and RANAP User Adaptation (RUA). The Data Model was subsequently published by Broadband Forum as TR-196 Issue 1 (Femto Access Point Service Data Model). It is based on Broadband Forum's TR-069 CWMP as the signalling protocol.
Publication of Issue 1
In the second half of 2008, Femto Forum reached agreement on O&M framework to be based on Broadband Forum's TR-069 CWMP as the signalling protocol. This followed the Forum's O&M subgroup to start the HNB Data Model work. It included the definition of object organization and parameters, including the detail XML editing work.
At the same time, leading companies proposed a new Work Item (WI) in 3GPP SA WG5 (SA5) for the specification of HNB Data Model ("Information Model" in SA5's terminology). It resulted in the WI "UTRA HNB: 3G Home NodeB OAM&P Type 1 Management Interface." It is worth noting that it was the first time that 3GPP SA5 created specification for Type 1 interface (management interface between Element Manager (EM) and Network Element (NE)). Up to this point, Type 1 interface has been vendor implem |

Respiratory-driven protocols are implemented in hospitals for treatment of people suffering from asthma, bronchiolitis, and other respiratory illness. Respiratory-driven protocols are most widely applied in intensive-care units. Respiratory practitioners are not utilized globally, so most application of respiratory practitioners as physician-extenders in this fashion is in the United States.
Cost-reduction
Respiratory practitioners applying respiratory-driven protocols was initially designed and has been since shown to reduce patient cost and improve overall patient outcomes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Cassidys%20%28TV%20series%29 | The Cassidys is an Irish television sitcom that aired on Network 2 for one series in 2001. Written by Brian Lynch, the series starred comedian Ed Byrne.
Plot
The show evolved around three members of the twenty-something Cassidy family living in a house outside Dublin. Emma is a moderately successful business woman striving to be sophisticated and suave, but she is failing miserably. Barry is a neurotic out of work actor who thinks he is well-rounded and well-balanced. Lisa is deeply insecure but disguises this with her sarcasm and condescension. We follow them through their trials and tribulations, their quest for love and their search for something far more meaningful than each other.
Production
The interior scenes for the series were shot in Studio 4 at the RTÉ Television Centre while the exterior scenes were shot at various locations around Dublin. The series was filmed in front of a live studio audience.
Reception
The series received mostly negative reviews from the very start. Sinéad Egan, writing in the Sunday Tribune, was critical of the first episode, referring to the script as lame and not funny with stereotypical characters. Liam Fay of the Sunday Times described the show as "relatively awful" and compared it with Upwardly Mobile. Other critics dismissed it as a "second-hand dire comedy, which isn't funny" and derided its weak characterisation and lack of comedy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comext | Comext is a statistical database on trade of goods managed by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Commission. It is an important indicator of the performance of the European Union (EU) economy, because it focuses on the size and the evolution of imports and exports.
Introduction
International Trade
Trade statistics follow the value and the quantity of goods exchanged between the Member States of the EU (intra-EU trade) and between the Member States and third countries (extra-EU exchanges)
They constitute the official source of information on the imports, exports and the trade balance of the EU, its Member States and the euro zone.
Data
Statistics relating to the international trade represent an important source of data for many decision makers of the public and private sectors on national or international levels.
Examples :
Inform multilateral and bilateral negotiations within the framework of the common trade policy
Define and implement anti-dumping policy
Evaluate the progress of the Single Market or the integration of EU economies
Carry out market research by businesses and define their commercial strategy
Compile balance of payments statistics and national accounts
Data collection
Traditionally, customs records are the main source of statistical data on international trade. Following the adoption of the Single Market on 1993, customs formalities between Member States were removed, and so a new data collection system, Intrastat, was set up for intra-EU trade.
In the Intrastat system, intra-EU trade data are collected directly from trade operators, which send a monthly declaration to the relevant national statistical administration.
Information on extra-EU and intra-EU trade is collected monthly by Member States.
External trade data are subject to frequent revisions, as a consequence of errors, omissions or – particularly with the Intrastat system – late declarations by information providers. When data for the latest period are released, revised data for previous periods are also made available.
Data
Eurostat publishes external trade statistics of Member States, Candidate Countries and EFTA countries. For each dataset the following basic information is available:
reporter (country or geo-economic area like EU-27, EU-25 ... or euro area),
reference period (annual or monthly),
trade flows (import, export) and balance,
product,
partner country (EU Member States or third countries) or geo-economic area.
Aggregated data contain macro-economic indicators on both a monthly and annual basis (short-term and long-term indicators respectively). Trade flows are aggregated according to the product (main groups of SITC or BEC classification) and according to the partner (geo-economic areas).
Short term indicators include:
gross and seasonally adjusted trade value (in million Euro),
unit-value indices,
gross and seasonally adjusted volume indices,
growth rates of trade values and indices.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social%20network | A social network is a social structure made up of a set of social actors (such as individuals or organizations), sets of dyadic ties, and other social interactions between actors. The social network perspective provides a set of methods for analyzing the structure of whole social entities as well as a variety of theories explaining the patterns observed in these structures. The study of these structures uses social network analysis to identify local and global patterns, locate influential entities, and examine network dynamics.
Social networks and the analysis of them is an inherently interdisciplinary academic field which emerged from social psychology, sociology, statistics, and graph theory. Georg Simmel authored early structural theories in sociology emphasizing the dynamics of triads and "web of group affiliations". Jacob Moreno is credited with developing the first sociograms in the 1930s to study interpersonal relationships. These approaches were mathematically formalized in the 1950s and theories and methods of social networks became pervasive in the social and behavioral sciences by the 1980s. Social network analysis is now one of the major paradigms in contemporary sociology, and is also employed in a number of other social and formal sciences. Together with other complex networks, it forms part of the nascent field of network science.
Overview
The social network is a theoretical construct useful in the social sciences to study relationships between individuals, groups, organizations, or even entire societies (social units, see differentiation). The term is used to describe a social structure determined by such interactions. The ties through which any given social unit connects represent the convergence of the various social contacts of that unit. This theoretical approach is, necessarily, relational. An axiom of the social network approach to understanding social interaction is that social phenomena should be primarily conceived and investigated through the properties of relations between and within units, instead of the properties of these units themselves. Thus, one common criticism of social network theory is that individual agency is often ignored although this may not be the case in practice (see agent-based modeling). Precisely because many different types of relations, singular or in combination, form these network configurations, network analytics are useful to a broad range of research enterprises. In social science, these fields of study include, but are not limited to anthropology, biology, communication studies, economics, geography, information science, organizational studies, social psychology, sociology, and sociolinguistics.
History
In the late 1890s, both Émile Durkheim and Ferdinand Tönnies foreshadowed the idea of social networks in their theories and research of social groups. Tönnies argued that social groups can exist as personal and direct social ties that either link individuals who share values and belief ( |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-rank%20approximation | In mathematics, low-rank approximation is a minimization problem, in which the cost function measures the fit between a given matrix (the data) and an approximating matrix (the optimization variable), subject to a constraint that the approximating matrix has reduced rank. The problem is used for mathematical modeling and data compression. The rank constraint is related to a constraint on the complexity of a model that fits the data. In applications, often there are other constraints on the approximating matrix apart from the rank constraint, e.g., non-negativity and Hankel structure.
Low-rank approximation is closely related to numerous other techniques, including principal component analysis, factor analysis, total least squares, latent semantic analysis, orthogonal regression, and dynamic mode decomposition.
Definition

Applications
Linear system identification, in which case the approximating matrix is Hankel structured.
Machine learning, in which case the approximating matrix is nonlinearly structured.
Recommender systems, in which cases the data matrix has missing values and the approximation is categorical.
Distance matrix completion, in which case there is a positive definiteness constraint.
Natural language processing, in which case the approximation is nonnegative.
Computer algebra, in which case the approximation is Sylvester structured.
Basic low-rank approximation problem
The unstructured problem with fit measured by the Frobenius norm, i.e.,
has analytic solution in terms of the singular value decomposition of the data matrix. The result is referred to as the matrix approximation lemma or Eckart–Young–Mirsky theorem. This problem was originally solved by Erhard Schmidt in the infinite dimensional context of integral operators (although his methods easily generalize to arbitrary compact operators on Hilbert spaces) and later rediscovered by C. Eckart and G. Young. L. Mirsky generalized the result to arbitrary unitarily invariant norms. Let
be the singular value decomposition of , where is the rectangular diagonal matrix with the singular values . For a given , partition , , and as follows:
where is , is , and is . Then the rank- matrix, obtained from the truncated singular value decomposition

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trash%20Tycoon | Trash Tycoon was an upcycling social network game developed by Guerillapps in 2011. The game applies traditional social gameplay features with the issues of waste, water, and green. Gameplay includes cleaning a town overrun by trash, recycling, and constructing products and decorations out of recycled material. The game shares a number of partnerships with real world companies, including TerraCycle, Carbonfund.org, TreeHugger, and Kraft Foods. Trash Tycoon has been shut down on July 29, 2012.
Gameplay
In Trash Tycoon, players collect litter in a city covered in trash and upcycle waste into valuable, environmentally friendly products. You can create other items such as jewelry, toys and furniture, which you can either keep for yourself or sell for profit. The game's production processes reflect the aims of sponsor and partner TerraCycle, a company that provides solution programs for waste that is typically non-recyclable. The 21 million people who participate in TerraCycle’s recycling programs and Trash Tycoon earn points for every piece of waste they collect and return to a TerraCycle kiosk. These points convert to special bonuses including in-game money, special decorative items, or exclusive badges that allow users to show in-game friends their Greenness habits outside of the game.
Multiplayer
Trash Tycoon allows players to team up with neighbors in a multiplayer environment to collaborate in real-time and clean up the virtual city. The game also contains a real time chat feature. Additionally, neighbors can help players regain energy and speed up production.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droid%204 | The Motorola Droid 4 (XT894) is a smartphone made by Motorola Mobility. It was released with Android 2.3 and can be upgraded to Android 4.1. It was released on Verizon Wireless's network on February 10, 2012. It is the successor to Motorola's Droid 3, and is one of the first smartphones to support GLONASS in addition to GPS.
As initially marketed by Verizon, when first launched, the Droid 4 was not capable of roaming in countries with non-CDMA wireless networks. However, after installing the update from Android 2.3 to Android 4.0, global roaming is automatically enabled on the handsets, allowing the Droid 4 to use GSM bands and provide HSPA data connections outside the US. However, LTE speeds are only available on Verizon's CDMA network. Unlike previous versions of the phone, the Droid 4 does not have a hot-swappable battery.
Processor
The Droid 4 has a dual core TI OMAP processor with 1.2 GHz, updated from the Droid 3's dual core 1 GHz processor.
Webtop
Similarly to the Motorola Atrix 4G, the Droid 4 had the integrated Ubuntu-based 'Webtop' application from Motorola. The Webtop application would launch when the phone was connected to an external display through a Laptop dock or HD multimedia dock. While in Webtop mode, the phone, operating with a similar UI to one would find on a typical Linux desktop, could run several applications on external display such as Firefox web browser, SNS clients and 'mobile view' application enabling total access of Droid 4 and its screen. In September 2011, Motorola released the source code of Webtop application at SourceForge.
With the release of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for the Droid 4, the Webtop application was replaced with ICS's tablet mode. This allows seamless access to all of the phone's applications without moving back and forth between two user interfaces.
Updates
The Droid 4 originally came with Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" out of the box, however, Motorola gradually updated the handset to Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" and then finally to Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean". Motorola has also released regular maintenance updates from time to time.
Unofficial
LineageOS support exists and is currently being maintained by the community, with LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2 "Nougat") being the latest official port for the device. Currently there is an ongoing effort to port mainline Linux to the phone, with most of the devices already supported except for voice calls and the cameras. Work is being done to make the Droid 4 supported by Maemo Leste.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human%20Metabolome%20Database | The Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) is a comprehensive, high-quality, freely accessible, online database of small molecule metabolites found in the human body. It bas been created by the Human Metabolome Project funded by Genome Canada and is one of the first dedicated metabolomics databases. The HMDB facilitates human metabolomics research, including the identification and characterization of human metabolites using NMR spectroscopy, GC-MS spectrometry and LC/MS spectrometry. To aid in this discovery process, the HMDB contains three kinds of data: 1) chemical data, 2) clinical data, and 3) molecular biology/biochemistry data (Fig. 1–3). The chemical data includes 41,514 metabolite structures with detailed descriptions along with nearly 10,000 NMR, GC-MS and LC/MS spectra.
The clinical data includes information on >10,000 metabolite-biofluid concentrations and metabolite concentration information on more than 600 different human diseases. The biochemical data includes 5,688 protein (and DNA) sequences and more than 5,000 biochemical reactions that are linked to these metabolite entries. Each metabolite entry in the HMDB contains more than 110 data fields with 2/3 of the information being devoted to chemical/clinical data and the other 1/3 devoted to enzymatic or biochemical data. Many data fields are hyperlinked to other databases (KEGG, MetaCyc, PubChem, Protein Data Bank, ChEBI, Swiss-Prot, and GenBank) and a variety of structure and pathway viewing applets. The HMDB database supports extensive text, sequence, spectral, chemical structure and relational query searches. It has been widely used in metabolomics, clinical chemistry, biomarker discovery and general biochemistry education.
Four additional databases, DrugBank, T3DB, SMPDB and FooDB are also part of the HMDB suite of databases. DrugBank contains equivalent information on ~1,600 drug and drug metabolites, T3DB contains information on 3,100 common toxins and environmental pollutants, SMPDB contains pathway diagrams for 700 human metabolic and disease pathways, while FooDB contains equivalent information on ~28,000 food components and food additives.
Version history
The first version of HMDB was released on January 1, 2007, followed by two subsequent versions on January 1, 2009 (version 2.0), August 1, 2009 (version 2.5), September 18, 2012 (version 3.0) and Jan. 1, 2013 (version 3.5), 2017 (version 4.0)., 2022 (version 5.0). Details for each of the major HMDB versions (up to version 5.0) is provided in Table 1.
Scope and access
All data in HMDB is non-proprietary or is derived from a non-proprietary source. It is freely accessible and available to anyone. In addition, nearly every data item is fully traceable and explicitly referenced to the original source. HMDB data is available through a public web interface and downloads.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuttgart-Weilimdorf%20station | Stuttgart-Weilimdorf station is in the Stuttgart municipality of Weilimdorf in the German state of Baden-Württemberg on the Württemberg Black Forest railway and is part of the Stuttgart S-Bahn network.
History
In the mid-1860s the Royal Württemberg State Railways () planned a line from Stuttgart to Calw. This would branch from the Northern Railway (Nordbahn) in Feuerbach or Zuffenhausen and run through the Strohgäu district to Leonberg. In 1865, the parliament of Württemberg decided that the line would branch at Zuffenhausen. This decision had a negative impact on the community of Weil im Dorf, as the line only touched the north-west of the district.
The nearest station to the village was located almost two kilometres away in Korntal. It was opened on 23 September 1868. Because there were significantly more residents in Weil im Dorf than in Korntal, the station was called Kornthal-Weil im Dorf or, from 1904, Korntal-Weil im Dorf (reflecting a national spelling change). The village was connected to the station via Ludwigsburger Straße (now called Solitudestraße) or Bahnhofweg (now called Karl-Frey-Straße).
In 1913 and 1914, plans were developed for a line of the Stuttgart suburban tramway from Feuerbach via Weil im Dorf to Gerlingen. However, due to disputes over the route and the outbreak of World War I, the project could not be realised. Weil im Dorf finally received a tram service in 1926, with the opening of the Feuerbach Municipal Tramway (Städtische Straßenbahn Feuerbach). This now forms part of line U 13 of the Stuttgart Stadtbahn.
In May 1962, the Stuttgart City Council was presented with its Transport Master Plan commissioned in 1957. The traffic engineer Professor Walter Lambert had developed a transportation plan for the state capital and its environs. His design also took into account Weilimdorf (as it had been spelt since 1955) and he proposed a new station on the Black Forest Railway, between the stations of Korntal and Ditzingen. This was finally opened by Deutsche Bundesbahn on 3 December 1988.
Rail operations
The station is served by lines S 6 and S 60 of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. It has two through tracks. Track 1 is served by trains towards Korntal and track 2 is served by trains towards Leonberg.
The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyriaNed | MyriaNed is a wireless sensor network (WSN) platform developed by DevLab. It uses an epidemic communication style based on standard radio broadcasting. This approach reflects the way humans interact, which is called gossiping. Messages are sent periodically and received by adjoining neighbours. Each message is repeated and duplicated towards all nodes that span the network; it spreads like a virus (hence the term epidemic communication).
This is a very efficient and robust protocol, mainly for two reasons:
First, the nodes do not need to know who is in their neighbourhood at the time of sending a message, there is no notion of an a-priori planned Routing, data is just shared instantaneously.
Second, the network is implicitly reliable since messages may follow different communication routes in parallel. The loss of a message between two nodes does not mean that the data is lost.
Nodes can be added, removed or may be physically moving without the need to reconfigure the network. The GOSSIP protocol is a self-configuring network solution. The network may even be heterogeneous, where several types of nodes communicate different pieces of information with each other at the same time. This is possible due to the fact that no interpretation of the message content is required in order to be able to forward it to other nodes.
Message communication is fully transparent, providing a seamless communication platform, where new functionality can be added later, without the need to change the installed base. Furthermore, MyriaNed is enabled to update the wireless sensor nodes software by means of “over the air” programming of a deployed network.
Inspiration
Traditionally radio communication is organized according to the master-slave philosophy. The way two nodes communicate is point-to-point. A command is sent top-down and a confirmation is sent bottom-up between two hierarchical levels.
However, in biology this is organized differently. For instance adrenaline in the human body works completely different. This message (hormone and neurotransmitter) is sent to different types of cells. Every cell knows what to do with this message (increase heart rate, constrict blood vessels, dilate air passages) and does not sent a confirmation. This is the inspiration for MyriaNed in a nutshell.
Another inspiration is the basic radio broadcasting principle. A radio with an antenna is made to send and receive a message to and from every direction. Implicitly it is not optimized to perform point-to-point communication. Wires are ideally suitable for that because they always link two devices. Looking at wireless communication, it should be structured in such a way that it uses the potential of radio transmission.
The third inspiration is that of human gossiping. The term is sometimes associated with spreading misinformation of trivial nature but the way information is disseminated is one of the oldest and most common in nature. Information is generated by a source and |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CuBox | CuBox and CuBox-i are series of small and fanless nettop-class computers manufactured by the Israeli company SolidRun Ltd.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korntal%20station | Korntal station is in the town of Korntal-Münchingen in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is on the Württemberg Black Forest railway, which is served by the Stuttgart S-Bahn network. It is the starting point of the Strohgäu Railway (), which is served by the Württembergische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (Württemberg Railway Company).
History
The Evangelische Brüdergemeinde Kornthal (Evangelical United Brethren of Kornthal) had about 600 inhabitants in the 1860s. The church's estate in Kornthal had been very small district since the Pietist community was founded in 1819. Many of its residents worked away from the community and took advantage of the opening of the Zuffenhausen station on the Württemberg Central Railway in 1846.
When the parliament of Württemberg decided to build the Black Forest Railway through the Strohgäu district on 13 August 1865, it was not certain that a station would be established in Korntal. In fact, the citizens of the larger community of Weil im Dorf petitioned the royal government for a station on the line so as not to be economically disadvantaged.
On 23 September 1868, the Royal Württemberg State Railways (Königlich Württembergischen Staats-Eisenbahnen) opened Kornthal station as the only station between Zuffenhausen and Ditzingen at that time; it was later called Kornthal-Weil im Dorf. The two-storey red sandstone entrance building still exists. During the reform in 1904, when the spelling of thal (valley) was changed to tal, the name of the village and the station name changed to Korntal-Weil im Dorf.
From 1898, several municipalities called for the construction of a railway line between Zuffenhausen or Ludwigsburg through the northern Heckengäu towards Pforzheim. The railway committee soon abandoned Pforzheim as the endpoint of the line. Similarly Münchingen would not be served if the line started in Ludwigsburg. To economise Korntal was chosen as the starting point of the line. On 13 August 1906, the Württemberg Railway Company opened its Strohgäu branch line to Weissach.
On 30 December 1926, the Feuerbach Municipal Tramway (Städtische Straßenbahn Feuerbach) was opened from Feuerbach to Gerlingen. This allowed passengers to and from Weil im Dorf a more comfortable way to travel and spared them a long walk. As a result, there was a reduction in passenger numbers at Korntal station. The station's name was changed from Korntal-Weil im Dorf to Korntal. On 1 December 1937, Deutsche Reichsbahn completed the duplication of the section between Zuffenhausen and Korntal. Electrification from Zuffenhausen to Leonberg was completed on 15 May 1939.
After the Second World War, Korntal finally developed into a residential suburb of Stuttgart. On 30 June 1958, the Interior Ministry gave the municipality a city charter. There were now over 8,000 residents in the former Evangelical United Brethren community.
In May 1962, the traffic engineer Professor Walter Lambert delivered a plan to the Stuttgart City Council for an S- |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehran%20Peace%20Museum | The Tehran Peace Museum is a member of the International Network of Museums for Peace. The main objective of the museum is to promote a culture of peace through raising awareness about the devastating consequences of war, with a focus on the health and environmental impacts of chemical weapons.
Currently housed in a building donated by the municipality of Tehran within the historic City Park, the Tehran Peace Museum is as much an interactive peace center as a museum.
On June 29, 2007, a memorial for the poison gas victims of the Iran–Iraq War (1980–88), along with a Peace Museum, was completed in a park in Tehran, capital of Iran. These facilities were established by the Society for Chemical Weapons Victims Support (an Iranian NGO), the city of Tehran, some other NGOs, and individuals and groups in Hiroshima.
The museum coordinates a peace education program that holds workshops on humanitarian law, disarmament, tolerance, and peace education. At the same time, it hosts conferences on the culture of peace, reconciliation, international humanitarian law, disarmament, and peace advocacy.
Additionally, the museum houses a documentary studio that provides a workspace wherein the individual stories of victims of warfare can be captured and archived for the historical record. The museum’s peace library includes a collection of literature spanning topics from international law to the implementation of peace to oral histories of veterans and victims of war. The 3D Holographic images are exhibited here. They have been made from the portraits of Iran–Iraq War's Martyrs. They designed by Hesam Bani-Eghbal and his team on Hesam Animation Studio.
Permanent and rotating peace-related art exhibitions, displaying the work of amateur international and Iranian artists and children's drawings, are also housed in the museum complex. Finally, the Iranian secretariat for the international organization Mayors for Peace is housed in the Tehran Peace Museum.
Founding the Iranian Peace Museum Movement
Its founding began with a conversation between the founders of the Tehran-based Society for Chemical Weapons Victims Support (SCWVS) and a coordinator for the International Peace Museums Network. This, as well as a visit to Hiroshima, Japan by members of SCWVS, fed into the desire for a museum in Tehran.
It was in Hiroshima where the suffering from atomic arms was able to convert most powerfully into a drive for peace manifested via a peace museum. This ability to use the intense suffering of war to highlight the need for peace made the Tehran Peace Museum’s founders realize Iran's parallel suffering from chemical arms and the need for a parallel drive for peace.
Focus on survivor involvement
While visiting Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, the founders of the Tehran Peace Museum realized the necessity of involving the victims of war in the creation of the museum. Only these individuals could provide credible accounts of the harsh realities of war and their correlatin |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master%20the%20Mainframe%20Contest | Master the Mainframe contest is a mainframe programming challenge that is organized annually by IBM Academic Initiative System z.
History
Originally catered to students attending North American institutions of higher learning (US and Canada, excluding Quebec), the contest is currently running in separate countries across the globe (30 to date). The goal of the contest is to provide students with the opportunity to experience working with mainframes. The contest was created in part to increase the number of mainframe skilled individuals in the computing workforce. The North American contest has successfully completed 7 contests to date.
Contest
The contest that runs for North America typically starts during the Fall semester and runs until the end of December. It is separated into 3 parts in which each part increases in complexity. Part 1 introduces the contestants to the basic aspects necessary to get started with mainframe technologies and requires minimal time to complete. Part 2 on the other hand involves more steps for each tasks and usually takes a day or so to accomplish. The first 60 winners of Part 2 will receive monetary prize in recognition of their achievement. Lastly, part 3 is more in depth and may involve multiple programming challenges such as COBOL, REXX, JCL, etc. (depending on the questions set for the year's challenge).
Prizes
Past winners of Part 3 have receive gifts such as iPad, iPod, laptops or netbooks. Winners also receives an all-expense-paid trip to the IBM mainframe facility in Poughkeepsie, New York.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psych%20%28season%207%29 | The seventh season of Psych, containing 14 episodes, premiered on the USA Network in the United States on February 27, 2013. The primary run ended on May 29, 2013, but a television special, Psych: The Musical aired later in the year. James Roday, Dulé Hill, Timothy Omundson, Maggie Lawson, Corbin Bernsen, and Kirsten Nelson all reprised their roles as the main characters in the series.
Production
Steve Franks continued as showrunner of the series. The song "I Know, You Know", performed by The Friendly Indians, continued to be used as the theme song for the show.
Psych was renewed for its seventh season on January 10, 2012. On April 6, 2012, Dulé Hill tweeted that filming for the season was to begin on April 23, 2012.
The previously announced musical episode, originally thought to be part of the sixth season, aired during the seventh as a two-hour event in December 2013. However, the episode was intended to occur in the middle of the season, and it suffers several continuity errors as a result. The season also contains episodes inspired by Clue and The Blair Witch Project; the Clue-based episode aired as the series' 100th.
Cast
James Roday continued to portray the fake psychic detective Shawn Spencer. Dulé Hill appeared as Burton "Gus" Guster. Timothy Omundson and Maggie Lawson portrayed detectives Carlton "Lassie" Lassiter and Juliet "Jules" O'Hara, respectively. Corbin Bernsen continued as Henry Spencer, and Kirsten Nelson returns as SBPD Chief Karen Vick.
Kurt Fuller and Sage Brocklebank reprised their recurring roles as Woody the Coroner and Officer Buzz McNab, respectively. Ally Sheedy returned to the series in the musical episode as Mr. Yang Cybill Shepherd returned as Madeleine Spencer, Shawn's mother, while Kristy Swanson continued to portray Marlowe Viccellio, Lassiter's convict girlfriend (who is released and married to Lassiter during season seven). Max Gail, Arden Myrin, and Jerry Wasserman returned in the premiere, titled "Santabarbaratown 2", reprising their roles of Henry's shooter, stalker, and the shooter's accomplice, respectively, from the sixth season. The season had a Clue inspired 100th episode, with Curt Smith returning as himself. Parminder Nagra appeared in a recurring role as Rachael, a beautiful and charming woman for whom Gus falls; she is later revealed to be a single mother. Jeffrey Tambor appears in two episodes as Juliet's step-father, Lloyd French. Anthony Michael Hall appears as Harris Trout, a consultant hired by the mayor to increase efficiency at the SBPD. John Kapelos makes his first appearance as the Mayor of Santa Barbara. Other guest stars for the season included Rose Abdoo, Garcelle Beauvais, Rachel Blanchard, Barry Bostwick, Cocoa Brown, Cindy Busby, Jake Busey, Tate Ellington, Pete Gardner, Lauriane Gilliéron, Neil Grayston, Gregory Harrison, David Koechner, Christopher Lloyd, Lori Loughlin, Brooke Lyons, Jessica Makinson, Eddie Matos, Mike McGlone, Katy Mixon, Rebeka Montoya, Garrett Morris, O |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxin%20and%20Toxin-Target%20Database | The Toxin and Toxin-Target Database (T3DB), also known as the Toxic Exposome Database, is a freely accessible online database of common substances that are toxic to humans, along with their protein, DNA or organ targets. The database currently houses nearly 3,700 toxic compounds or poisons described by nearly 42,000 synonyms. This list includes various groups of toxins, including common pollutants, pesticides, drugs, food toxins, household and industrial/workplace toxins, cigarette toxins, and uremic toxins. These toxic substances are linked to 2,086 corresponding protein/DNA target records. In total there are 42,433 toxic substance-toxin target associations. Each toxic compound record (ToxCard) in T3DB contains nearly 100 data fields and holds information such as chemical properties and descriptors, mechanisms of action, toxicity or lethal dose values, molecular and cellular interactions, medical (symptom and treatment) information (Fig. 1–3), NMR an MS spectra, and up- and down-regulated genes. This information has been extracted from over 18,000 sources, which include other databases, government documents, books, and scientific literature.
The primary focus of the T3DB is on providing mechanisms of toxicity and identifying target proteins for common toxic substances. While a number of other toxic compound databases do exist, their emphasis is on covering large numbers of chemical compounds that are almost never seen outside a chemical laboratory. T3DB attempts to capture data on only those toxic substances that are abundant or in widespread use and have been detected or measured in humans. T3DB is fully searchable and supports extensive text, sequence, chemical structure, relational query and spectral searches. It is both modelled after and closely linked to the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) and DrugBank. Potential applications of T3DB include metabolomics and environmental exposure studies, toxic compound metabolism prediction, toxin/drug interaction prediction, and general toxic substance awareness.
Scope and access
All data in T3DB is non-proprietary or is derived from a non-proprietary source. It is freely accessible and available to anyone. In addition, nearly every data item is fully traceable and explicitly referenced to the original source. T3DB data is available through a public web interface and downloads.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small%20Molecule%20Pathway%20Database | The Small Molecule Pathway Database (SMPDB) is a comprehensive, high-quality, freely accessible, online database containing more than 600 small molecule (i.e. metabolic) pathways found in humans. SMPDB is designed specifically to support pathway elucidation and pathway discovery in metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and systems biology. It is able to do so, in part, by providing colorful, detailed, fully searchable, hyperlinked diagrams of five types of small molecule pathways: 1) general human metabolic pathways; 2) human metabolic disease pathways; 3) human metabolite signaling pathways; 4) drug-action pathways and 5) drug metabolism pathways. SMPDB pathways may be navigated, viewed and zoomed interactively using a Google Maps-like interface. All SMPDB pathways include information on the relevant organs, subcellular compartments, protein cofactors, protein locations, metabolite locations, chemical structures and protein quaternary structures (Fig. 1). Each small molecule in SMPDB is hyperlinked to detailed descriptions contained in the HMDB or DrugBank and each protein or enzyme complex is hyperlinked to UniProt. Additionally, all SMPDB pathways are accompanied with detailed descriptions and references, providing an overview of the pathway, condition or processes depicted in each diagram. Users can browse the SMPDB (Fig. 2) or search its contents by text searching (Fig. 3), sequence searching, or chemical structure searching. More powerful queries are also possible including searching with lists of gene or protein names, drug names, metabolite names, GenBank IDs, Swiss-Prot IDs, Agilent or Affymetrix microarray IDs. These queries will produce lists of matching pathways and highlight the matching molecules on each of the pathway diagrams. Gene, metabolite and protein concentration data can also be visualized through SMPDB's mapping interface.
SMPDB is part of a suite of metabolomics databases that also includes Human Metabolome Database, DrugBank, and the Toxin and Toxin-Target Database (T3DB). While DrugBank includes information on 7000 drugs and >4200 non-redundant drug targets, enzymes, transporters, and carriers, HMDB houses over 40,000 small molecule metabolites found in the human body. The suite is complemented by T3DB with its over 3100 common toxic substances and over 1300 corresponding toxin targets.
Version History
The first version of SMPDB was released on January 1, 2010. This release contained more than 350 image-mapped pathways for small molecule pathways. The viewer interface was limited to scroll-bar image navigation with 3-step (small, medium, large) zooming. The pathways in this first version were limited to 1) human metabolic pathways; 2) human metabolic disease pathways; and 3) human metabolite signaling pathways. The second version of SMPDB was released in 2014. This version contained more than 620 small molecule pathways. The viewer interface was enhanced to include a Google-Map-like interface with click-n-drag |
