Compassionately written by an experienced team of professionals, this book offers parents and families essential information about the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of sex development, or DSD.
DSD refers to medical conditions, usually discovered at birth, in which there is disagreement between a person's genetic sex (i.e., chromosomes) and the appearance of the person's external or internal reproductive structures. After their child is diagnosed with DSD, parents need answers to a host of questions, including
- What is DSD, why does it occur, how is it identified, and how is it treated?- Did we do something to cause our child's DSD?- Is my baby a boy or a girl?- Will my child grow up to be normal and healthy?- Does my child need surgery?
This concise book answers parents' questions in a reassuring and forthright way, giving affected individuals, their families, and their health care providers a current and evidence-based picture of DSD. It offers clear explanations of how newborns with DSD are evaluated, diagnosed, and treated; describes the different kinds of DSD; and pays close attention to both psychosocial and medical aspects of DSD. This guide also includes information about the importance of support groups and education for affected individuals and their families.
In their daily work, the authors treat, support, and educate people with DSD and their families. This resource gives parents and families access to the authors' expertise so they can reach a meaningful understanding of their child's DSD and make informed decisions about their child's health.

57 year old man | Reno, NV, USA | Seeking women 47-59 within 200 miles
I am a Retired NFL player, I was a single dad...
I am a Retired NFL player, I was a single dad to a son who is now a 25 year old firefighter , I got custody of him when he was still in diapers and I raised him alone since. So, family is important to me, and if you have kids I will enjoy (love!) that too.. I yearn for a COMMITTED relationship, someone to travel with, cook for and enjoy the simple things (which are most days so that is most important!)... laugh have fun, nurture each other, and ultimately grow old together in unity and happiness. I am a one woman man who really wants to find that one special woman that I know is out there...No players please, just those seeking love? I hope to find a woman who is adventurous, even-tempered, eats healthily and organically at least some of the time (or open to it, but not fanatically!), and who exudes good energies. I am an attractive HONORS grad from UCLA, easy-going, big but kind and gentle. I love to laugh and hate to get stressed out. NO DRAMA!!! I am spiritual,metapysical , a gourmet cook, love to read, go to plays, take dogs on hikes ( not gonna lie, NFL left my knees body devastaed so much of what I WANT to do I am not able,,,can u deal w/that? still, I work out at gym 3-5 times a week, love to go on hikes w/dogs,keep active, etc) I have lost about 80 lbs since some of my older pics, have kept it off and with my lifestyle will continue to strive to be in ultimate physical health and with a peaceful mind. I have been extensively involved w/US Congress, 3 testimonies, and am called the "father of the new concussion awareness across the world".I am largely responsible for the awareness that brought about the NFL concussion lawsuit settlement bringing $millions to those NFL retirees in need. But back to our day to day life... Most of all I would like to make a romantic dinner at home with a special partner. I am romantic, a hugger, and very eager to please and nurture a woman.I am seeking a tall woman (well, above 5'4") who loves to laugh, loves life, and who realizes we were put on this earth to enjoy every day and to enjoy each other, and life is short, so let's meet get started on our laughter and help each other through the tears..and help others in need. I am dedicated to surrounding myself w/positive successful people, so that includes a mate who exudes positive loving healing energies.. let's not waste another day!!! She must love to cook, or watch me cook, while drinking wine/martinis, or at least love to eat , love to cuddle on the couch, wrap a blanket around us and watch a a movie or TV comedy.. .Plus of course a woman who loves sports, playing, watching in person, or watching in a sports bar- I would hope she is physical, tactile, - love to hug, hold hands,touching, etc. But most of all, be a person who is most often naturally smiling and causing others to smile..Do you LOVE life, have a positive attidude and care for others altruistically? then we MUST meet... I want to have fun with the blessings I have received to make a prosperous and adventure-filled future with the RIGHT woman!!! To all, a, happy search and always have fun!!!

Postage stamps and postal history of Allenstein
In 1920 a plebiscite was held to determine whether the populace of Olsztyn (Ger. Allenstein) wished to remain in East Prussia or become part of Poland. In order to advertise the plebiscite, special postage stamps were produced by overprinting German stamps and sold from 3 April. One kind of overprint read PLÉBISCITE / OLSZTYN / ALLENSTEIN, while the other read TRAITÉ / DE / VERSAILLES / ART. 94 et 95 inside an oval whose border gave the full name of the plebiscite commission. Each overprint was applied to 14 denominations ranging from 5 Pf to 3 M.
The plebiscite was held on 11 July, and produced 362,209 votes (97.8%) for East Prussia and 7,980 votes (2.2%) for Poland. The stamps became invalid on 20 August. Despite the short period of use, almost all of the stamps are cheaply available both used and unused.
After the Second World War, on 2 August 1945, the city was placed under Polish administration by the Soviets (according to the Potsdam Agreement) and officially renamed to Polish Olsztyn.

US & CanadaOutcry over student arrested in Tajikistan PhD student arrested while researching conflict management in the Central Asian country, now faces treason charges. Megan O'Toole | 26 Jun 2014 10:57 GMT | US & Canada, Canada, China, Kyrgyzstan, Russia Alexander Sodiqov's wife has denounced the charges as 'completely absurd' [Musharraf Sodiqova]Alexander Sodiqov started his day with a telephone call to one of Tajikistan's most prominent civil-society activists, Alim Sherzamonov. Shortly before noon on the morning of June 16, the pair met at a central park in Khorog, the capital of Tajikistan's restive Gorno-Badakhshan province. Sodiqov, a PhD student at Canada's University of Toronto, who had been researching conflict management in the Central Asian country, recalls asking Sherzamonov about the role of civil society in resolving and preventing disputes amid recent clashes in Khorog. "We spoke on this subject," Sodiqov later told Tajik authorities, in a statement broadcast by local media. "He said nongovernmental organisations and civil society played a positive role." But their conversation did not last long. Within about an hour, security officials had arrested Sodiqov. Nearly two weeks later, he remains in detention, reportedly facing up to 20 years in prison on charges of high treason. The case has sparked an international outcry, with foreign politicians and human-rights groups accusing the Tajik government of punishing Sodiqov for asking the wrong questions. "As far as we can tell, he is being detained and potentially prosecuted for exercising his freedom of expression to conduct academic research," Steve Swerdlow, a Central Asia researcher with Human Rights Watch, told Al Jazeera in an interview from the Tajik capital of Dushanbe. Violent history Tajikistan, which gained independence in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, fell into civil war a year later following anti-government demonstrations. The war ended in 1997, but peace has proven elusive for the mountainous, Sunni-dominated country of about eight million people - particularly in Gorno-Badakhshan, a sparsely populated breakaway province comprised largely of Shia Ismaili Muslims. In the summer of 2012, deadly fighting erupted in Khorog after the slaying of a local security chief. Dozens were killed as Tajik troops and rebel fighters grappled for control of the troubled region, situated on the country's border with Afghanistan. Fresh violence flared up this May, when a gunfight allegedly involving police and drug dealers in Gorno-Badakhshan killed four people and triggered anti-government protests. Sherzamonov has spoken publicly about his belief that Tajik authorities repeatedly created "pretexts to eliminate [suspected participants] in the 2012 clashes". Religion restrictions debated in Tajikistan At the time of his arrest, Sodiqov had been working with John Heathershaw, a senior lecturer of international relations at the University of Exeter, on research funded by the UK's Economic and Social Research Council. Focused on the management and resolution of conflicts in Central Asia, their project involved fact-finding missions in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, the UK, Russia, and China. In Tajikistan, Sodiqov was to have conducted a series of interviews with public officials and civil society leaders, Heathershaw told Al Jazeera. "[Tajik authorities] claim that he is engaged in espionage, but as there is no evidence for these accusations, there are no grounds for detention," Heathershaw said. "The detention is groundless, incommunicado and illegal." As of this week, Sodiqov was reportedly being held at a State Committee for National Security (SCNS) facility in Dushanbe. He has had little contact with his family and, while he was granted access to a state-appointed lawyer, he has not been allowed to select his own counsel, according to Amnesty International. Critics have blasted Sodiqov's videotaped police statement, which aired on television last week, saying parts appear to have been coerced. At one point, for example, Sodiqov alleges he was told by Sherzamonov that Gorno-Badakhshan's Ismaili community had misgivings about their spiritual leader, the Aga Khan - but, according to the Asia-Plus news agency, Sherzamonov has denied making such comments. "Apparently, somebody wanted [Sodiqov] to say that the people do not trust the Aga Khan," a Khorog resident told Asia-Plus. Observers say the video may have been a politically motivated attempt to discredit Sherzamonov. After Sodiqov's arrest, police searched his mother's home in Dushanbe and seized flash drives and computers. What they were looking for remains unclear. The SCNS has accused Sodiqov of spying for a foreign government, but provided no details. "[The] government wants to show that Tajikistan has an enemy somewhere far, but inside the country, everything is good," said Ravshan Abdullaev, the country director for Tajikistan with the Eurasia Foundation of Central Asia. "Of course, for the government this is much easier to do than to solve social problems in the country." Al Jazeera's multiple inquiries to Tajikistan's foreign ministry went unanswered. Asked whether the Canadian government would intervene in the case, foreign ministry spokesperson Ian Trites only said that Ottawa is "aware of reports that a citizen from Tajikistan, studying in Canada has been arrested in Khorog, Tajikistan". 'Nefarious' narrative Edward Schatz, an associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto and Sodiqov's dissertation supervisor, said the charges have left the school "completely in shock". He described Sodiqov as a mild-mannered student who embarked on his latest research project with laudable intentions and no preconceptions. "The government views it as tantamount to fomenting conflict - you're asking questions, you must desire conflict," Schatz told Al Jazeera, noting that he has sent a letter and petition to Tajikistan's foreign affairs ministry in hope of a resolution, but received no response. "There's this narrative of a nefarious outside plot to destabilise Tajikistan, and he's found himself caught in the crosshairs." Sodiqov's wife, Musharraf Sodiqova, denounced her husband's detention as "completely absurd". The situation has posed a tremendous challenge for the couple's young daughter, who does not understand where her father is, she added. "She keeps asking me, 'Where is Daddy?' She pretends [she is] speaking to him on the phone and asking to come home," Sodiqova told Al Jazeera, adding the couple's wedding anniversary is June 26. This will be the first time in five years they are not together to celebrate. "It is just not right [for] a person's life to be destroyed for no reason." For nearly two weeks, human rights groups have urged Tajik authorities to provide Sodiqov with proper access to his family and to counsel of his choice, citing a clear violation of due process. The fact that his detention has already dragged on this long is not a good sign, Swerdlow noted. "The government has continually exhibited a lot of anxiety about any public discussion or scrutiny of events in [Gorno-Badakhshan]," he said, pointing to repeated government blocks of websites containing critical depictions of Tajik President Emomali Rahmon. With respect to Sodiqov's arrest, Swerdlow added: "It's really hard to speculate on their motivations, but we do see an increasingly authoritarian style of government in Tajikistan."

It takes me half a day just to drive from one side to the other! The Irish farmer just laughed and casually responded, Yeah, I had a tractor like that once too!
I love your show. My tenyear old grandson loves to watch it with my husband and me. Keep up the good writing.

To identify the mechanism by which the bacteria might do this, Brodsky's team made a library of Salmonella mutants, looking for those that might be involved in the evasion strategy.
Among the 18 genes they pinpointed were four that had been previously noted to have a role in enabling Salmonella strains to cause long-term, chronic infections.
"That was interesting because it suggested that at least a subset of those genes that might be important for long-term infection might be involved in evading or suppressing the inflammasome response," Brodsky said.
They trained their attention on one of these four, the gene that encodes the enzyme aconitase. Aconitase, which converts citrate to isocitrate, is a key component in the metabolic process known as the citric acid or Krebs cycle. This cycle is used by all oxygen-breathing organisms to convert sugar into energy and to produce important molecules for cell growth.
When the aconitase gene was mutated, the inflammasome known as NLRP3 was highly activated, leading researchers to believe that the normal version of aconitase might do the opposite, inhibiting the inflammasome. Moreover, when the researchers infected mice with a strain of Salmonella that had a mutated version of aconitase, the rodents were able to clear the infection, likely due to the inflammasome being activated. This infection led to increased levels of inflammation in the mice's tissues.
The Penn-led team also wanted to see whether other components of the citric acid cycle might be involved in inflammasome activation. They found that mutating Salmonella genes that encode two other players in the cycle, the enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase and isocitrate lyase, also led to higher activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.
In their normal state, these enzymes break down citrate. Thus the study's results point to the possibility

Along comes a dude...
Pretty much, this game will have lots of content from various real-life and internet sources. Almost everything will come from various people's experiences and even the people themselves. Every single NPC will be a real person.
First of all, Matt Jordan is also a real person. He is a great friend and a corky guy I attended college with. In this game, he assumes the role of a stray hero who comes along to help out the town of Osbourne. There he will meet a variety of people and things that are also taken out of various experiences and life. Pretty much mashing as much hilarity and life-related material in this simple format of a game as possible.

Is it that time for an article again? On April 2nd, I said that things will be quiet for two months while I hammer out the story. It's been a little over two months, also within that time span, I've created a simple to play slot machine game that has nothing to do with Super Matt Jordan. It's enjoyable nonetheless so check it out. Mostly in the 3 months I've been writing on the story script and I've finally have a completed draft. Overall, it's about 90 pages. I crunched some numbers for fun and I wrote the same amount of pages as 26.1% of Final Fantasy 7 … disc one. Ok that's not that impressive. Let me try another example. I wrote the same amount of pages as 290.03% of God of War. Yeah that game's script is only 31 pages long. Super Mario RPG is 91 pages long so there's an interesting model of pacing and length to chew on. In fact, there are quite some similarities between the two as far as how the chapters are divided and the length of them. I love SMRPG, it's been a really strong influence on scale and storytelling. It was low scale and comfortable for players to learn. Above all else it wasn't a kids game, it was a game anyone could enjoy. This similar approachability was something I took very carefully to heart as I wrote the SMJ story, and how I will continue development.
In the last three months, I watched every episode of Extra Credits, and took notes, and applied as much wisdom as I could. It has been mentioned before that appealing to children is a valuable investment for any game title. I don't think making "kids' games" is a very effective prospect. Going on my own instincts here, I believe a game that is playable by anyone of any age is far more prospective than making a game that is geared for a specific audience. Seems obvious in the abstract, sure, but think about when you were young and all of the grown-up stuff you wanted to do. You couldn't wait to grow up. Grown-up stuff is attractive to kids, so I decided to make a mature story for the game that doesn't talk down to the player at all. Mature as in fully realized, maturity as in responsible storytelling and not holding back the theatrical punches. It only holds back a lot of the visuals that could be bad influences. Wayne no longer smokes, there's no more blood, no foul language in any of the dialogue, etc. This is simply responsible design (or even professional design), and it has zero impact on the weight and emotion involved in the story. A story like this one holds the player very responsible for their actions and decisions as well. When you get something done, or do something right, it is really rewarding. Your hand isn't held as you walk through the game like a carnival ride, and not everyone is a winner. In some stages of the story, things are meant to be lost to propagate more story, and those situations are hard to witness but are endurable events as the player. Extra credits enlightened a very clear sea of points to go on when making any video game. I suggest watching their show, whether you're a developer or not.
SMJ has a unique element to it that was interesting to work with. The game has a cast of real people, and for the most part, real events to propel a bunch of scenarios that happen throughout. Instead of developing a deep and rich back-story for each character, all I had to do was just look back at the actual person. I realized that there are no cliché characters in the story. They each have their roles but each one is completely unique on a level that could only be developed over that person's entire life so far. To think about what a character would do, what that person would do, made writing some of it easy and engaging. Some of you I need to probably talk to just to straighten things out a bit. Writing like this, I found something I never thought of and that was a paramount element for the story. The people in the game are endearing. There is something to like about each person that is something right out of real life. You often see the tough guy trope in video games, either be Barret of FFVII or Bowser from SMRPG. They often have a tough shell (pun intended) or hard exterior but often open up to express a soft and sensitive inside. This is a cliché if there ever was one, even with a new twist on it (thanks to the Catherine series) with instead of a soft gooey center, the tough guy is secretly homosexual. There is nothing like that in SMJ, or at least nothing that obvious. You learn a lot about a bunch of people before you learn about what they are capable of, which is entirely different from the role they play. What each individual is capable of also changes throughout the story, and at different intervals from one-another as they develop in the story. Imagine it like a roller coaster where each car has its own track, but they all start and end at the same places, each individual journeys through their own story. It's all very deep stuff. Oh yeah, one more thing, everyone has powers specially fit to them. It's the way this world works and everyone having special powers is a part of mother nature. Chew on that for a moment.
So the script is in its proofreading and refining stages. It's been through a lot already and there are many more pages to write in smaller parts or perhaps elaboration. I'm quite proud to say that I have run out of ideas, though I hope more come to me as things move forward. I must now trust my proofreading team. I'm scared to death but I fully acknowledge what has to be done to make this good. I've made it this far, can't turn back now.
Apologies for the lack of random character sketches. I'll do some later and post them.

text: A REVIEW OF CANE DIFFUSION AT SEZELA AND UMZIMKULU SUGAR FACTORIES MUNSAMY S S1 and BACHAN L2 1 Illovo Sugar Limited – Sezela, South Africa 2 Illovo Sugar Limited – Umzimkulu, South Africa firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com Abstract The cane diffusion process is widely used in the South African sugar industry for extraction purposes. This paper reviews the operation and maintenance of three stationary screen, horizontal bed diffusers installed at Sezela and Umzimkulu sugar factories. Two identical units were installed at Sezela factory in the 1983/84 season and a similar unit was installed at Umzimkulu factory in the 1991/92 season. All three diffusers produced extraction efficiencies above 98% and, in the 2005/06 season, all three units produced extractions of above 98,5%. The Umzimkulu diffuser was able to produce high extraction efficiencies at higher than design cane throughputs. All three diffusers operate at high imbibition rates of around 440% imbibition on fibre. The highest cost maintenance item is chain replacement. The average life of a chain has been around 14 years. The chain pins and bushes need to be replaced on average every 6-8 years. A negative aspect of cane diffusion is the extraction of acetic acid and corrosion of downstream equipment. Corrosion is severe in vapour pipes, evaporator and pan domes. However, it can be minimised by using corrosion resistant materials such as 3CR12 steel. Keywords: cane diffuser, horizontal bed diffuser, extraction, diffuser chain, diffuser maintenance, diffuser corrosion, factory process Introduction Illovo Sugar Limited – Sezela factory converted to 100% cane diffusion in the 1983/84 season. Two identical stationary screen, slat type diffusers were installed. A similar diffuser was installed at Illovo Sugar Limited – Umzimkulu factory in the 1991/92 season, although the Umzimkulu diffuser has a very simple cane preparation set-up compared with the Sezela units. High crush rates and high extraction performance have been recorded on the Umzimkulu diffuser. This paper reviews the operation and maintenance of these diffusers. Description of the diffusers The two diffusers (SZ1 and SZ2) at Sezela and the one at Umzimkulu (UK) are almost identical. A brief description of the diffusers is given in Table 1.

At Umzimkulu extraction benefit was achieved even at imbibition % fibre rates above 500. There was no measurable difference between adding part of the imbibition at the dewatering mills or into the diffuser. Figure 1 shows a trend between imbibition and extraction at Umzimkulu for the 2000/01 season. 98.8 98.6 98.4 Extraction (%) 98.2 98 97.8 97.6 97.4 330 350 370 390 410 430 450 470 490 510 Imbibition % Fibre Figure 1. The relationship between imbibition and extraction at Umzimkulu. Proc S Afr Sug Technol Ass (2006) 80, page 313 Temperature Initially it was believed that the diffuser temperature should be maintained on the low side; however, McMaster and Ravnö (1975) showed that losses due to thermophilic bacteria were high, and temperature should not drop below 80°C in the diffuser. For this reason, both factories maintain temperatures above 80°C. Scalding juice is maintained between 95-98°C after the heaters to obtain a draft juice temperature around 75°C. Although not quantifiable, the authors believe that a scalding juice temperature of 98°C and a flowrate of 600 tons per hour aids the sucrose extraction process. pH control in diffusers Initially it was believed that pH adjustment with milk of lime was important to minimise inversion in the diffuser. The diffusers were installed with two liming stations per diffuser. Each liming station had three outlets that introduced lime to three stage pumps. In total each diffuser had six liming points. To achieve an average cell juice pH of 6,2 the individual cells where lime was added was 'spiked' to about 7,5. Beckett and Graham (1989), Schäffler et al. (1988) and Cox et al. (1993) showed that liming diffusers increased acetate production. This research, together with high levels of vapour space corrosion, led to lime addition being discontinued. The operating philosophy that was adopted was that poor pH control was worse than no control. The authors believe that loss of sucrose due to low pH inversion on extraction is minimal. Cane preparation Cane preparation was for many years measured by preparation index (PI). Recently both Umzimkulu and Sezela factories changed to the Displaceability Rate Index (DRI) as described by Loubser and Gooch (2004). Optimum PI for good extraction ranged between 90- 92 and optimum DRI ranged between 7 and 11. However, the best measurement of cane preparation is visual, and must be such that it allows the required imbibition to be applied with sufficient wetting of the bed. The philosophy at both factories is to increase or decrease preparation according to fluid retention in the diffuser bed. The authors believe that maximum contact time between the solid and liquid fractions is very important for extraction. Another very important aspect of cane preparation is that the shredder should be set to run at steady speed, avoiding large fluctuations in speed and thus throughput. The shredder should be set as a metering device to give steady feed into the diffuser and thus an even bed level. The importance of an even bed level cannot be over-emphasised. Bed level/bed speed The average bed level around the mid-point of the diffuser is around 1,2 m, while at the cane feed area it is around 1,4 m. This is an operating parameter and is adjusted according to throughput and percolation characteristics of the bed. During rainy periods when percolation is poor a lower bed height/faster bed speed is required. Generally extraction improved with a higher bed level. Bed level should be sufficiently high for the dewatering drum to give the bagasse bed a good squeeze. The heavy duty dewatering drum, which weighs about 40 tons, is an important dewatering device. Proc S Afr Sug Technol Ass (2006) 80, page 314 Scalding juice rate All three diffusers operate at an average scalding juice flow rate of 600 tons per hour and a temperature of 95-98°C. The scalding juice is normally split between the scalding juice tray and the back plate where the prepared cane falls into the diffuser. It is important that the scalding juice is applied as close as possible to the cane feed into the diffuser. The Umzimkulu diffuser was retrofitted with an adjustable piano plate to ensure good feed distribution across the diffuser. Scalding juice performs three important functions. The temperature of 95-98°C helps rupture juice cells that are not opened by cane preparation, the temperature and flow rate are required to produce a draft juice temperature of 75°C and the flow rate is required to flatten the cane feed into an even bed inside the diffuser. Mud recirculation Due to the lower suspended solids in mixed juice ranging between 0,10 and 0,20% for the Sezela and Umzimkulu factories, filter station operation has been difficult. The slimy mud is not conducive to good filtration in conventional mud filters. Mud thickening in the clarifier boot takes a long time and mud consistency is very variable. The coarse diffuser bagasse produces poor bagacillo quality and filter operation is generally difficult. Therefore mud recycle to the diffuser as described by Meadows et al. (1998) is a sensible and practical solution. The advantages of mud recycle are zero filtercake losses, decommissioning of the filter station and elimination of microbiological and spillage losses across the filter station. Added benefits are thermal efficiency due to zero filter wash water, zero bagacillo usage and fuel value of filtercake. The zero filter wash water allows more imbibition water for the same evaporator capacity. Umzimkulu factory started recirculating clarifier mud to the diffuser in the 1999/2000 season. After initial problems and diffuser operator resistance, the practice is now well established at this factory. The thermal efficiency is clearly visible in Umzimkulu's huge surplus bagasse pile, despite a season average imbibition % fibre rate of 483 in 2005/06. This factory stays on bagasse generated electricity during weekend shuts and season-end boil offs. An added advantage of mud recycle is a clean smelling factory. In Umzimkulu's case there is another benefit of mud recycle in that diffuser cell pH increases from an average of around 5,5 to 5,8 across the diffuser. The Sezela factory has also tried clarifier mud recycle, although the authors were not at Sezela when it was evaluated. The operators were very negative about the concept and stated that the diffusers flooded extensively. The practice was discontinued and the recycle equipment was removed, thus there is no opportunity to revisit this practice. The reason for the extensive flooding was not clear. However, there are some equipment differences between the two factories. The Sezela diffusers have two cane knives before the shredder, whereas the Umzimkulu diffuser has a single cane knife before the shredder. The Umzimkulu clarifier is a long retention time unit, whereas the Sezela clarifiers are short retention time units. The authors are not implying that these were the causes of the extensive flooding, but are merely stating the differences between the factories. Proc S Afr Sug Technol Ass (2006) 80, page 315 Some mechanical problems experienced with the three diffusers Bagasse conveyors At both factories the bagasse handling system had to be modified to handle the coarser bagasse produced by the diffusers. Bagasse transfer chutes, boiler chutes and boiler feeders had to be modified. Bagasse belt speeds had to be increased and transfer chutes had to be enlarged. This was a trial and error exercise and took a number of seasons to be perfected. Dewatering mills Initially all three diffusers produced high final bagasse moistures. In the early seasons after the diffuser installation staff had to modify dewatering mill settings away from conventional milling settings. The hot bagasse and the high amount of easily squeezable liquid in the bagasse exiting the diffuser needed changes to Donnelly chute and mill settings. Both factories now produce bagasse moistures below 50%. Umzimkulu has 72 inch and 84 inch conventional three-roller mills with feed rollers in series. The Sezela units were originally installed with two 84 inch heavy duty seven-roller pressure feed mills of Walker design, part of the old milling tandem. These units worked well on the milling tandem but were very troublesome on diffuser dewatering duty. The main mechanical problem was bursting of the pressure feeders. Mill staff changed these units to conventional three-roller mills with a feed roller and operate the two units per diffuser in parallel operation. The modification was very successful. Diffuser drive gearboxes The Sezela units were originally installed with shaft mounted epicyclic gearboxes with four planetary gears around the sun gear. The four planetary gears were driven by four direct current (DC) motors. These gearboxes were very troublesome. The existing DC technology at the time of installation made synchronisation difficult and the individual motors were prone to hunting and gear damage. These gearboxes were replaced with conventional milling tandem reduction gears driven by alternating current (AC) variable speed drives. The epicyclic gearboxes had a huge space saving advantage but were not suitable for diffuser drives at that time. The Umzimkulu diffuser was installed with a set of conventional milling tandem reduction gears and AC variable speed drive. Diffuser chain The chains used to drag the prepared cane inside the diffuser require expensive maintenance and replacement. The Sezela and Umzimkulu experiences have shown that the chain pins and bushes need to be replaced every 6-8 years, and the chain needs to be replaced every 12-16 years. Initially all three diffusers were installed with wooden return runners underneath the diffuser. This was a poor choice of runner material, as sand particles become wedged in the wood and behave like abrasive sandpaper. Wear was visibly more on the non-working face of the chain, i.e. that part in contact with the wooden runner. The outside runners were changed to steel runners slightly softer than the chain. In January 2006, a new chain was installed on the Proc S Afr Sug Technol Ass (2006) 80, page 316 Umzimkulu diffuser at a cost of R6,2 million. The chain runners inside the diffuser require replacement every two seasons. This is an important maintenance function, as worn runners can cause bagasse particles to lodge themselves between the chain and runner and eventually lift the chain off the drive sprockets. The drive sprockets need to be built up to the original profile every two to three seasons. An approved welding technique must be used and a qualified artisan under close supervision must do the work. It is also important that the earth lead of the welding machine is attached as close as possible to the sprocket to avoid electric current arcing of the drive shaft bearings. It is recommended that all future installations have the return chain on idlers to avoid dragging a hot, dry chain on a runner. A retrofit option was investigated for the three diffusers but proved difficult to fit in the short time available in the off-crop. Diffusers elsewhere in the industry successfully run the return chain on idlers. Dripping cold water as chain lubricant has been successfully implemented at Umzimkulu. However, this option is messy and the drip pipes need constant attention and cleaning. The use of hot water is not recommended as it evaporates very quickly. Boiler tube erosion The filtering action inside the diffuser traps sand particles, and diffuser bagasse has a higher sand content than milling bagasse. This sand is picked up by the combustion gases in the boilers, and boiler tube erosion by the 'sandblasting' effect of the combustion gases is of real concern. Tubes need to be carefully shrouded and both factories had to install stainless steel shrouding in high erosion areas. New boilers need to be of single pass design to lower the gas velocity through the tube bank and Sezela successfully converted a multipass boiler to a single pass boiler. Boiler maintenance is generally very high at both factories. Vapour space corrosion One of the disadvantages of diffusion is the extraction of impurities especially acetic acid which volatise in the process and release acetic acid. This causes major corrosion damage to diffuser roofs, vapour pipes, condensate pipes, evaporator and pan domes, and has been a serious problem at both factories. A number of studies show the formation, volatilisation and condensation of acetic acid from diffuser juices. Schäffler et al. (1988) reported that lime addition to diffusers appeared to have a definite effect on acetic acid level in diffuser juices. Beckett and Graham (1989) showed that high lime concentration increases acetate production in a diffuser. Cox et al. (1993) found that acetic acid in vapour selectively condensed before water vapour and the area of first condensation had high levels of acetic acid. Liming on the three diffusers has been discontinued and high corrosion areas have been replaced with corrosion resistant 3CR12 material. Plant observations confirm the findings of the above authors. For example the steam chest on a juice heater only corrodes around the steam (vapour) entry. The corrosion is highest on vessels that use vapour II, followed by vessels on vapour I. Vapour III and IV pipes and calandrias also show very high levels of corrosion. Proc S Afr Sug Technol Ass (2006) 80, page 317 Effect of diffuser juice on sugar quality Rein (1995) states that, on average, diffuser juice colours are about 25% higher than those from a milling tandem and that starch content is much lower. Koster (1995) states that diffuser factory raw sugar colour was 30% higher, affinated sugar colour was 36% higher and starch was 25% lower than in sugar from milling tandem factories. Koster also showed that, at Umzimkulu, juice, syrup and sugar colours increased after the installation of the diffuser. This is shown in Table 5. Table 5. Juice and sugar colours before and after the diffuser installation at Umzimkulu (Koster, 1995). Milling Diffusion Product (1985-1990) (1991-1995) Clear juice colour 21 700 28 100 Syrup colour 22 200 30 000 VHP sugar colour 1 200 1 900 VHP affinated sugar colour 600 1 000 Sezela and Umzimkulu sugar quality for the 2005/06 season is shown in Table 6, as reported by the Sugar Terminal. Table 6. Sezela and Umzimkulu sugar quality for the 2005/06 season. Parameter Sezela Umzimkulu VHP sugar colour 1 387 1405 VHP affinated sugar colour 666 783 VHP sugar pol (°Z) 99,48 89,53 Starch (ppm) 108 113 Filterability (%) 63 56 Over the seasons both factories have adapted to the higher diffuser juice colour by washing the sugar to a higher pol. Conclusions The three cane diffusers have performed well at both factories. High extractions can be achieved with high imbibition levels. There is an extraction benefit up to 500% imbibition on fibre. Cane diffusers present an elegant solution to clarifier mud filtration and mud recycle to the diffuser is an established practice at Umzimkulu. Chain maintenance is an expensive cost and complete chain replacement is required every 12-16 years. Vapour space corrosion is a problem at both factories. New boilers at diffuser factories need to be of single pass construction with low combustion gas velocities. Sugar colours are generally higher than with milling tandems, and starch content is lower.

Abstract: For policy makers, regulators and natural resource managers, the resources necessary for original empirical resource valuations are often unavailable. A common alternative to original valuation studies is the practice of benefit transfer—the use of an empirical value estimate or estimates from a previous study or studies for application in a similar context. In order to reduce the error inherent in applying values from one parcel of land to another, researchers commonly use meta-analysis, or the "study of studies", to provide a more thorough and statistically valid value estimate for use in a benefit transfer. In the practice of benefit transfer, much emphasis has been placed on improving the validity of values for transfer, but fewer studies have focused on the appropriate application of the established estimates. In this article, several often disregarded concerns that should be addressed when practicing benefit transfer are identified. A special focus is placed on spatial considerations and the recent progress that has been made to incorporate spatial trends. Geographic information systems (GIS) are advocated as a useful tool for incorporating the spatial aspects of benefit transfer. Consensuses and trends in the literature are acknowledged, and areas of potential improvement are highlighted.

I doubt if this will be a problem.

Nope. But keep in mind, since DNA from paraffin blocks is already degraded, and will be further fragmented during bisulfite conversion, amplicons size should be kept to a minimum when designing primers.

Use of Reflectance Ratios as a Proxy for Coastal Water Constituent Monitoring in the Pearl River Estuary
Received: 11 December 2008 / Revised: 20 January 2009 / Accepted: 21 January 2009 / Published: 23 January 2009
(This article belongs to the Section Remote Sensors)
Abstract: Spectra, salinity, total suspended solids (TSS, in mg/L) and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM, ag(400) at 400 nm) sampled in stations in 44 different locations on December 18, 19 and 21, in 2006 were measured and analyzed. The studied field covered a large variety of optically different waters, the absorption coefficient of CDOM ([ag(400)] in m-1) varied between 0.488 and 1.41 m-1, and the TSS concentrations (mg/L) varied between 7.0 and 241.1 mg/L. In order to detect salinity of the Pearl River Estuary, we analyzed the spectral properties of TSS and CDOM, and the relationships between field water reflectance spectra and water constituents' concentrations based on the synchronous in-situ and satellite hyper-spectral image analysis. A good correlation was discovered (the positive correlation by linear fit), between in-situ reflectance ratio R680/R527 and TSS concentrations (R2 = 0.65) for the salinity range of 1.74-22.12. However, the result also showed that the absorption coefficient of CDOM was not tightly correlated with reflectance. In addition, we also observed two significant relationships (R2 > 0.77), one between TSS concentrations and surface salinity and the other between the absorption coefficient of CDOM and surface salinity. Finally, we develop a novel method to understand surface salinity distribution of estuarine waters from the calibrated EO-1 Hyperion reflectance data in the Pearl River Estuary, i.e. channels with high salinity and shoals with low salinity. The EO-1 Hyperion derived surface salinity and TSSconcentrations were validated using in-situ data that were collected on December 21, 2006, synchronous with EO-1 Hyperion satellite imagery acquisition. The results showed that the semi-empirical relationships are capable of predicting salinity from EO-1 Hyperion imagery in the Pearl River Estuary (RMSE < 2‰).

adidas adiZero Rose 2.5 'Playoff Edition' by Aaron Hope 10 Comments
March 15, 2012 BY Aaron Hope / 5
The Chicago Bulls love to break out those green alternate uniforms on holidays and during Green Week, and Saturday's St. Patrick's Day clash with the 76ers means their reigning MVP will have a jersey to match his new green kicks. The 'St. Patty's' adidas adiZero Rose 2.5 is covered in Kelly with white accents and just a hint of gold, their design inspired by both the Irish celebration and D-Rose's days at Beasley Academy. They'll be available at select Three Stripes stockists starting tomorrow so you can get yours in time for the game, and in the meantime you can click through to see the collected momentum with which Rose will lead the NBA's best team into tonight's tilt against the Miami Heat.
