Nanoparticle-doped polyimide for controlling the pretilt angle of liquid crystals devices |
Optics Express, Vol. 18, Issue 16, pp. 16507-16512 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1675 KB)
The pretilt angles of liquid crystal molecules can be controlled by using conventional polyimide (PI) alignment material doped with different concentrations of Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsequioxanes (POSS) nanoparticles, which have been observed to spontaneously induce vertical alignment. The addition of POSS in the homogenous PI changes the surface energy of the alignment layer and generates a variable pretilt angle. Experimental results demonstrate that the pretilt angle θp is a function of the POSS concentration, and can be tuned continuously over the range of 0°<θp<90°. The polar anchoring energy of POSS/PI alignment layer is almost constant regardless of the POSS concentration. This technique is very simple and is compatible with methods familiar in the current LCD industry.

Subject | [jira] [Created] (MATH-692) Cumulative probability and inverse cumulative probability inconsistencies |
Date | Tue, 18 Oct 2011 18:03:10 GMT |
Cumulative probability and inverse cumulative probability inconsistencies ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MATH-692 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-692 Project: Commons Math Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2, 2.1, 2.0, 1.2, 1.1, 1.0, 1.3, 2.2.1, 3.0 Reporter: Christian Winter Fix For: 3.0 There are some inconsistencies in the documentation and implementation of functions regarding cumulative probabilities and inverse cumulative probabilities. More precisely, '<' and '<=' are not used in a consistent way. Besides I would move the function inverseCumulativeProbability(double) to the interface Distribution. A true inverse of the distribution function does neither exist for Distribution nor for ContinuosDistribution. Thus we need to define the inverse in terms of quantiles anyway, and this can already be done for Distribution. On the whole I would declare the (inverse) cumulative probability functions in the basic distribution interfaces as follows: Distribution: - cumulativeProbability(double x): returns P(X <= x) - cumulativeProbability(double x0, double x1): returns P(x0 < X <= x1) [see also 1)] - inverseCumulativeProbability(double p): returns the quantile function inf{x in R | P(X<=x) >= p} [see also 2), 3), and 4)] 1) An aternative definition could be P(x0 <= X <= x1). But this requires to put the function probability(double x) or another cumulative probability function into the interface Distribution in order be able to calculate P(x0 <= X <= x1) in AbstractDistribution. 2) This definition is stricter than the definition in ContinuousDistribution, because the definition there does not specify what to do if there are multiple x satisfying P(X<=x) = p. 3) A modification could be defined for p=0: Returning sup{x in R | P(X<=x) = 0} would yield the infimum of the distribution's support instead of a mandatory -infinity. 4) This affects issue MATH-540. I'd prefere the definition from above for the following reasons: - This definition simplifies inverse transform sampling (as mentioned in the other issue). - It is the standard textbook definition for the quantile function. - For integer distributions it has the advantage that the result doesn't change when switching to "x in Z", i.e. the result is independent of considering the intergers as sole set or as part of the reals. ContinuousDistribution: nothing to be added regarding (inverse) cumulative probability functions IntegerDistribution: - cumulativeProbability(int x): returns P(X <= x) - cumulativeProbability(int x0, int x1): returns P(x0 < X <= x1) [see also 1) above] -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Rated 5 out of 5 by anie_d76 from Easy install I ordered this product about 3 months ago after looking in several stores and online for nickel room darkening rods. I liked the simple, sleek design, availability in varying lengths, and price. Upon receiving the order I was impressed with the quality of the finish and sturdy construction. I have installed other curtain rods and these were by far the easiest. I have gotten many compliments and questions about the rods. I plan on ordering more for the rest of my house.

Rated 5 out of 5 by katiemo20 from Love these! We bought both the small and medium sized rods for our living room—they're easy to install, simple, unobtrusive and would go with any decor, and all at a great price. Bought them with the C&B satin nickel curtain rings and they work perfectly together.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Stephanie from Wonderful Design My entire reason for hanging curtains in my bedroom was to get a room-darkening effect. The design of this product was ingenious and perfect--no light bleeding on the sides of my curtains--hooray!

Rated 5 out of 5 by nearchicago from Works perfect! I bought two of these, one for my Kitchen and one for my Family Room. Our TV sits opposite from a bay window our Family room and we needed something to keep the light out and glare off of the TV. We bought room darkening curtains and this rod does the rest. It allows us to completely close off the window keeping out the light from the sides of the windows.

Rated 5 out of 5 by patsy22901 from Sleek, Low profile, mounts beautifully An attractive solution for light weight drapery/curtains. Hugs the wall, hides the woodwork. Easy to mount, nice finish.
Date published: 2013-08-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by SEINgirl from Sleek I really like this curtain rod. Because of the way it installs, there are no brackets to get in the way of sliding the curtain all the way to the side. The result is complete functionality with a very clean look. The finish matches perfectly to our bathroom fixtures. It is well made and not flimsy at all. We did not need to use the center bracket because our window length was at the short end of the range, causing the rod to be nearly pushed in over itself the whole length, giving it extra strength. Our curtain is lightweight as well. This is exactly what we needed for our application.

Rated 5 out of 5 by pbwg from Great wrap-around rod I looked all over for a return rod in a pewter or nickel finish at a reasonable price. Looked at C&B - where they did not carry this in the store, but the salesperson was aware they had it online. He ordered it for me (free shipping!) and I was totally pleased when it came. Easy to install: the brackets go up first, the supports slide on the brackets, and the rod screws into the supports. Center support bracket is a better-looking design than most. Nice brushed nickel finish: not too dark or too shiny. I'm not into finials, so this is a great solution for a modern look. Overall, a great rod at a great price.I would like to see this in a matte white and a matte black finish, and also a larger diameter rod as an option.

Vegetarian Restaurant
Business At A Glance
Startup Costs: $10,000 - $50,000
Franchises Available? No
Online Operation? No
Business Overview
There are an estimated 20 million American adults who are vegetarians, and this fact creates an excellent opportunity for the budding restaurateur who'd like to start a vegetarian restaurant. Like any restaurant business, conducting a market survey in the area where the restaurant will be established can help indicate consumer demand. Many vegetarian restaurants also sell food products as well as vegetarian cookbooks, and this can be a terrific way to increase profits. Furthermore, also seek opportunities for a lunch delivery service to offices and homes, as this can also be a way to bolster sales. As a rule of thumb, most restaurants operate on a 40-40-20 percent basis, meaning 40 percent of the revenue covers food and consumable costs, 40 percent of revenue covers operating and overhead costs, and 20 percent of revenue is left as the pretax gross profit.Related Business Ideas

Hi: 8° Lo:1°
THE NORTH Worcestershire Basement Project which provides a daytime drop-in service and outreach support service for young people who are homeless or facing homelessness has been given a £3272.62 cash boost from Basepoint Bromsgrove.
The cash was raised from a number of charity activities, including supermarket bag packs, church events, quiz nights and open events held by volunteers and community groups as part of the National Garden Scheme.
The Basement Project, based in Worcester Road, Bromsgrove, is run by qualified youth workers, supported by volunteers.
Grant-making charity The ACT Foundation, which is dedicated to improve the lives of those in need, owns the Basepoint Centres.
It will match funding, up to the value of £10,000, raised by any of the Basepoint centres.
Elaine Beaumont, Basepoint Bromsgrove's centre manager, said: "We are delighted to be able to present this cheque to The Basement Project. It is fantastic opportunity to support a local charity and work alongside the local community to help raise funds for such a worthy cause."
Carole Hill, the Basement Project's finance and administration manager, said: "We are grateful to Basepoint for their continued support over the years."
For more on The Basement Project or to make a donation, visit www.thebasementproject.co.uk or call 01527 832993.

Loewe Spring 2013
For Spring 2013, designer Stuart Vevers was all about sporty luxe. Chic leather pencil skirts were juxtaposed with varsity jackets that came in a variety of colors and prints. Hoods also gave dresses and coats a seriously sporty feel. Safari-inspired pieces, like a cargo vest and dress with oversize pockets, were also sprinkled throughout the show for variety. Thigh-high slits, sheer fabrics, and crop tops gave Loewe's latest line a sexy undertone, while the olive green, bright red, black, and yellow color scheme was serious-slash-spunky.

Challenging spring for farmers
It has been an interesting spring for Ohio farmers. A cooler than normal spring and a lot of rain caused numerous challenges. Ohio farmers shared some of their planting photos, and we've compiled some news stories discussing the challenges, consequences of the weather on planting and the impacts that are being seen, or that may still be seen.

Wow! Nickelodeon actress Victoria Justice shows us a side we've never seen in Victorious! She looks way sexy and sophisticated in the December issue of Interview magazine!
We all know and love Victoria Justice for her roles in the hit Nickelodeon shows Zoey 101 and Victorious, but now she's moving out of her teen roles and establishing herself as a brunette bombshell . The actress, singer, song writer and dancer will be featured in Interview magazine's December issue and we're lucky enough to have a sneak peak.
Victoria tells Interview just how she got started in television. "I was watching TV one day when I was 8 years – old and saw some kid doing a chip commercial," she says. "I was like, 'Mom, I can do that!'"
We're glad she had the sudden inspiration because we are huge fans and she has come a long way since!
Victoria, clad in black leather and smoky cat-eye makeup in her new photos, really knows how to pull off the edgy look! It appears she isn't having difficulty showing off her sexy side.
We just love how her image is evolving! What do YOU think Hollywoodlifers?

Asus Unveils Quad-Core Transformer Prime Tablet 274
from the shiny-gadgets-are-shiny dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
This is absolutely terrible news and I'm angry at Asus for releasing this tablet.
Now, not only are most new laptops and netbooks more powerfull than my desktop- but now a tablet is too.
Screw you Asus!
Oh well, maybe I can afford to upgrade to a Raspberry Pi this christmas if I can catch it on a 50% off sale.
so what is he trying to say ?
That Apple fanboys would sooner go a-grave robbin' to suck Steve off some more, than purchase something that might actually be useful.
At least, that's what it sounds like to me.
The ASUS enrichment center would like to remind you that the companion core will never threaten you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the companion core does speak, the ASUS enrichment center urges you to disregard its advice.

Jim Jones - Precious ft. Ryan Leslie
Artist: Jim Jones
Featuring: Ryan Leslie
Producer: Ryan Leslie
Album: Pray IV Reign
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 16 votes )
Featured back in mid-December, 2 Pistols' My Gurl found the emcee buying his special someone black pearls in honor of President-Elect Barack Obama. What does this have to do with Jim Jones's Precious, you ask? Well, after hearing the Dipset vet ask the woman of his dreams to "be [his] Michelle," I'm starting to think that Obama-themed gifts and pickup lines are just the thing to step up my game with the ladies (I'll keep you posted on how this pans out). Jokes aside, this romantic record is a strong candidate for follow-up to Pop Champagne, the lead single off Jones' forthcoming Pray IV Reign. Ryan Leslie does double-duty on the cut, contributing a bass-driven beat that bursts into bloom on his crooned hook, and Jones' surprisingly punchline-heavy verses set Precious a cut above other for-the-ladies records. Pray IV Reign, Jones' fourth studio album, is set to hit store shelves February 20th.

If you haven't seen the piles of panettone around the shop, you may not know that we recently received a large shipment of holiday treats from Italy. Along with all the breads, cakes, and other sweets came traditional savoiardi. These crisp Italian ladyfingers from Dolceria Donna Elvira in Modica, Sicily are the perfect building block for tiramisu! After a quick jaunt around the shop I had all the ingredients needed for one of my favorite Italian desserts; except, of course the rum.

A Bird to be Thankful For: Misty Knoll Turkey
Posted in Main Dishes, Meats & Charcuterie, Thanksgiving, United States, tagged food, gravy, Misty Knoll Farm, Recipes, Thanksgiving, turkey on October 21, 2014 | 3 Comments »
As a young girl my family would travel every year to share Thanksgiving dinner with family. I remember singing "Over the river and through the woods…" ad nauseam at least one of those trips. I grew more and more excited as the car crossed the Connecticut River, then through the mountain forests; the Appalachian Mountains. I knew with each landmark I was that much closer to seeing my cousins and the feast they would have prepared. Images of the giant bird, dripping with juicy gravy, made me anxious to arrive.
Perfecting the Pizza with Mulino Marino Flour

In my everlasting quest to make the perfect pizza, it's always been about the dough. I've made hundreds of pies, each time striving for the balance of good structure, depth of flavor, and workability. The outcomes have ranged from revelatory to disastrous, but I'm assured—save a few singed eyebrows and flour-coated jeans—that no one has been harmed by the experimentation. From cracker-thin, high-gluten crusts with a gratifying crunch to pillowy, pliable pies that rise and fall with the heat, the permutations of just a few simple ingredients are seemingly endless.
Fennel and Potato Summer Salad
Posted in Produce, Recipes, Salads & Sides, tagged fennel, food, potato, potato salad, preserved lemon, Produce, seasonal produce on August 13, 2014 | Leave a Comment »
August is here, and with it comes the peak of our produce season. With more and more amazing local fruits, vegetables and herbs to complement our bi-weekly deliveries direct from California, the options are pretty much endless.
This delicious and light potato salad uses the brininess of preserved lemon and balances it with the brightness of fennel and fresh herbs. Potatoes are generally associated with winter and colder months but they are actually dug from the ground now. The summer brings us new potatoes with thin skin and a more pronounced potato flavor. Fennel balances this dish with a light crunch.

In a currency pair, the first currency in the pair is called the base currency and the second is called the quote currency.
Currency pairs can be separated into two types, direct and indirect. In a direct quote the domestic currency is the base currency, while the foreign currency is the quote currency. An indirect quote is just the opposite: the foreign currency is the base currency and the domestic currency is the quote currency. For an American trader, the EUR/USD quote is an indirect one. So, for example, a quote of 0.80 EUR/USD would mean that it takes 0.80 euros to purchase US$1.
Although nearly 89% of the currency trades made around the world involve the U.S. dollar, the EUR/USD currency pair is always quoted indirectly. The reason for this is mostly convention. A EUR/USD quote could easily be shown as USD/EUR by making a simple calculation, but there are no strict rules that determine whether a currency pair is shown directly or indirectly. The way currency pairs are quoted can also vary depending on the country in which the trader lives - most countries use direct quotes, while the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Canada prefer indirect quotes.

Nearly 150 guests walked the red carpet at Friday night's premiere of Abode Solo.

UnityPoint Health Dubuque and GMH have been exploring a closer partnership for more than a year. In October, the GMH Board of Directors announced a pause in discussions to give hospital leaders time to evaluate key issues important to the GMH employees, physicians and community. (Press photo by Molly Moser)
After more than a year of partnership discussions, UnityPoint Health Dubuque has announced their decision to conclude alignment discussions with Guttenberg Municipal Hospital. As a result of this decision, the Letter of Intent between the parties has been withdrawn.
"UnityPoint Health is anchored in a belief that healthcare is local," says David Brandon, president and CEO of UnityPoint Health Dubuque. "While we continue to believe an alignment between our two organizations can strengthen healthcare in Clayton County, it has become clear that GMH needs to have a wider discussion about the future of healthcare in their community. We respect that, and until this conversation occurs, it is not in either of our organizations' best interest to pursue a closer alignment."
GMH Board Chair Penny Hansel said, "We have learned a lot over the past several weeks and right now, the circumstances are not right for pursuing this. We appreciate UnityPoint Health's understanding and respect for our community."

With trains becoming longer and potentially hauling increased amounts of crude oil, city officials are enhancing the existing disaster management plan to include derailment-specific training and actions. (Press photo by Austin Greve)
In response to the July 2008 derailment just outside of Guttenberg, the Dakota Minnesota and Eastern Railroad (a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific Railroad) agreed last week to pay $625,000 to settle a civil complaint filed by the state of Iowa and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Four diesel locomotives that derailed were submerged in the river for days, leaking over 4,000 gallons of diesel oil and other petroleum products. The leak caused floating slicks of oil across a 10-mile stretch of Bluff Slough.
"This settlement covers just a portion of the losses," said DNR Fisheries Biologist Karen Osterkamp, who estimates that recreational and ecological losses are much higher. Turtles, mudpuppies, water birds, mussels, and fish were impacted immediately, and the long term effect of the petroleum still in the sediment remains unknown. The settlement is expected to go into effect after a 30-day comment period, at which point dollars would be used for Mississippi restoration.
In May of this year, another accident involving the railroad and a single vehicle caused all but two of Guttenberg's 13 railroad crossings to be blocked by train cars for an extended period of time. "At the same time, the Marina Road was closed because of high waters – so there was only one crossing open at the far south end of town," said Guttenberg Mayor Russ Loven. "If there was a derailment affecting the same amount of the town we would have many challenges, especially if it were some type of volatile material."
Ashley Hess snapped this photo of her father, John, with Dr. David Ellingson (right), whose book Paddle Pilgrim recounts his experiences with the people and places along the entirety of the Mississippi River. (Photo submitted)
Many have made the journey. They get their feet wet in the headwaters at Lake Itasca, and then paddle stroke after stroke, day after day, all the way to New Orleans. For professor and Lutheran minister Dr. David Ellingson, it was a journey of two million strokes over 65 days.
A few thousand strokes in, Ellingson's kayak cleared turbulent waters below Lock and Dam 10 and was welcomed ashore by two people on the small sandy beach that is Guttenberg's shanty neighborhood.
"It was a Saturday afternoon. My daughter Ashley and I were down at the shanties with a little fire, sitting around in lawn chairs listening to music," recalls Guttenberg city councilman John Hess. They invited Ellingson to pull his kayak up on the beach and started to chat.

Do Campaign Donations Alter how a Politician Votes?Stephen G. BronarsUniversity of Texas at Austin John R. Lott Jr.Crime Prevention Research Center Journal of Law and Economics, Vol. 40, No. 2, Pp. 317-350, October 1997 Abstract: Despite all the work on how campaign donations influence politician's behavior, the nagging question of whether contributions alter how the politician votes or whether these contributions constitute support for like-minded individuals remains unresolved. By combining the campaign contributions literature with the work on politicians intrinsically valuing policy outcomes, we offer a simple test that examines how politicians' voting patterns change when they retire and no longer face the threat of lost campaign contributions. If contributions are causing individual politicians to vote differently, there should be systematic changes in voting behavior when future contributions are eliminated. On the other hand, if contributors donate to candidates who intrinsically value the same policies, there should be no changes in how a politician votes during the last period.

K. Sparks - Blindfolds
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: Kurser
Album: Self Portrait
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 13 votes )
If it's true that the absence of one sense makes the others more acute, then y'all might want to put on your Blindfolds for this one. Actually, you might want to plug your noses, too—your ears are gonna need all the help they can get unraveling the intricate lyrical flames K. Sparks unleashes on his latest single. Over frequent collaborator Kurser's Chipmunk-sampled chants and syncopated rhythm section, Sparks delivers bars so impeccably flowed that it's easy to miss the knowledge he's dropping. Complete with an equally acrobatic opening verse by guest spitter Nation, Blindfolds can be found, along with project lead single Autumn Blues and much more, on forthcoming full-length Self Portrait. Previously slated to drop this August, the DJBooth-hosted LP has been pushed forward—yes, forward—and is now set to hit our front page in June.

Food24 finds out what gets your graze on at a festival.
You are packing your tents and sleeping bags and your love for fun - and we bet the last thing on your mind is food. Well, it shouldn't be... if you want to keep those energy levels up, you need to eat!Food is mostly eclipsed by music or booze, but perhaps because it's such a fundamental part of the experience we tend to forget it's there. Most festival goers will remember the sensation of washing down a sarmie, made from various non-perishable items, with a warm beer at lunch. And don't forget the daily argument of which vendor to visit, which results in eight people splitting up. And at least six of them ending up at the same place anyway. The boerie roll stand. Or you may even recognise the story of a friend who was drunk and refused to eat anything but ice-cream all weekend.We're venturing into the trenches of mud and music to try and find the food that rocks your world. We want to know what you're eating, what you will never eat again, the amazing recipes you've come up with, and whatever other funny festival food stories you may have.Email us at email@example.com and share your festival food stories, or follow us on Twitter and like our Facebook page.

Violet in Bloom
Series that include this title
From Library Staff
Fifth-graders Katie-Rose, Violet, Milla, and Yasaman seem to have little in common except their flower-related names, but they nurture their new friendship through a social-networking site and a campaign to have healthier snacks served at school.

Add a CommentI LUV IT BUT WHENEVER I FINISH A book when I try and read it again I get bored of it and keep on skipping the pages, but nvm that here is the big part: IT IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book is long but really, really, really, really, really, really,really,really,really, Awesome! Every single girl should really read it! Even my seven year old brother(younger) tryed to read with me under his covers! P.S. I like the choice of character. ( Katie- Rose, Yasaman, Camilla, Violet,Cyril, Natalia, and more!
Really Good.This was my first Flower Power book. Lauren Myracle has hooked me on yet another series.
this was a very good read i loved it especially how much violet's new friends where there for her especially when she was dealing with her mom not being around at the moment. a fantastic story about new friendships and much more. read it for yourselves loved ever second of it.
It was so fun to jump back into fifth grade with Milla, Violet, Katie-Rose and Yasaman! I absolutely loved the first book in this series, Luv Ya Bunches. There was lots of drama in this book but Myracle deals with it all in a way that's endearing and age-appropriate. I hope the next book has lots more FFF (Flower Friends Forever!) hijinks and lessons about friendship.
Katie-Rose, Violet, Milla, and Yasaman are back for another round of blogging, videos, chats and text messages. This time they face the problems jealousy, a mentally ill parent, crushes, hamster death and a fight for healthier food. All while trying to stay friends.
Myracle once again proves she has an ear for the voices of the tween set. She also knows how to integrate new technology into her writing without it being a gimmick. These two facts make up for the fact that the story takes a bit to get going and some parts are a little implausible.
Good stuff.
yasaman is mulim like me. i have 4 friends and we all are like a girl in the story. im like yasaman one of my friends is like violet, another is milla and the last is katie

Following today's action outside PaknSave Royal Oak, the attention turns tomorrow morning to PaknSave Manukau, where a picket will be joined by a giant inflatable rat from 8.30am.
Pak n Save workers were the first to speak up against the new youth rates law which came into force today.
As the government's new youth pay law comes into effect today, a large group of Auckland supermarket workers are taking action to prevent a wage cut through youth rates being introduced in their stores.
Supermarket operator Foodstuffs is isolating itself as a low wage employer for young workers, and should instead take the lead from the large fast food firms and others in retail who have opted out of youth rates, the retail workers' union said today.
Countdown workers' wages are going up again, by 3 per cent.
In January the final instalment of a two year deal that saw wages rise by 10% in 4 stages was paid out to workers.
Union members get their payrise two months early.
Countdown Kilbirne worker Cheryl says it's been good getting regular payrises and it makes workers feel valued.
A potential merger of the two North Island Foodstuffs cooperatives should be used as an opportunity to improve workplace relations and lift their very low wages, the union for workers at the company says.

Red squirrels are being tipped to make a comeback after a successful experiment in culling their stronger grey cousins.
A project on the island of Anglesey in North Wales to remove the larger, more aggressive grey squirrel has led to a swift doubling in the population of the red version of the species.
The scheme has removed more than 7,000 of the non-native grey, leaving fewer than 50 on the island.
Environmental experts have predicted that by autumn the island's Newborough Forest will be home to 150 adult reds and their offspring. after being re-introduced to the forest in 2004.
Dr Craig Shuttleworth, a woodland ecologist for the Mentor Mon environmental group based in Anglesey, said the project could be rolled out across Britain, such was its success.
Red squirrels have been in danger of extinction since their grey counterparts were introduced from USA in the 19th century.
Compared to three million greys, there are now only around 120,000 reds left in Britain.
Greys are better at finding food and shelter, while they also spread the squirrelpox virus which they are immune to, but which kill reds.
They also damage trees and wipe out birds by robbing their nests.
The native squirrel is now restricted to Merseyside, Scotland, Cumbria, Northumberland, the Isle of Wight and the islands of Poole Harbour.
They are known to select their food carefully, eating only matured nuts, pine cones, small seeds and fungi, and prefer to live in conifer and Scot's Pine forests.
In April, an experimental cull of grey squirrels in Northumberland was crticised by the RSPCA as being "ethically dubious killing one species for the sake of another."
