Holes in New Knit Shirts
I found the forum titles "Holes in Shirts - HELP!" from 06 by googling the problem and was so happy to find others with the same problem.
Has anyone pin pointed the culprit?
Here's the problem in case you don't know what i'm talking about:
Tiny, clean, holes found at belly button area
Happens to new shirts as well
Only knit shirts
I can't believe how many people have these holes in shirts. I have tried a few things but none have worked. Sorry, I can't go along with the seatbelt theory because my husband's t-shirts are the worst and he doesn't wear a seatbelt. Thanks for all the suggestions, keep them coming and hopefully someone will figure this out.
When they are washed if there are pants in the load and the zippers aren't zipped maybe that is doing it. I know I have some this way but I found that I was getting the small "belly" holes at work with no fault at all of the washer. Desk or tabletops some times will have a rough place on there we don't even notice. Also maybe even on the steering wheel when we are getting in and out and turn and hit it or maybe your watch will hit your shirt. A lot of things we just don't realize it could be and don't notice it when it happens.
I like the zipper theory. Many garments have instructions saying zippers should be zipped when they are washed. I can also imagine a t-shirt contacting a zipper when it's tucked in. A belt buckle is another potential culprit. And such holes can result from the shirt being stretched, perhaps by an agitator.
Have you explored the possibility of increased acidity in the navel area? A simple litmus paper test should do the trick.
IMO, not wearing a safety belt can result in far more serious issues than a few small holes in an inexpensive and rarely-seen garment. I hope you don't follow your husband's example.
Please read carefully, because this "fenomena" is yet much harder to understand and believe.
I have 2 children, 6 (a girl) and 4 (the little boy) years old. For more than a year now all their cotton clothes get these holes in the same place, the front of the right shoulder. T-shirts, pijamas, sports clothes, sweters, absolutly everithing made of cotton. They have each their own room, own closet, etc.
We have checked for bugs of all sorts, we have bought new Mielle state of art washing and driying machines, we have changed 3 irons, we have had 3 different people carying out the washig/ironing process, we have tiled the walls of the laundry room to make sure no bug is there, we have changed the place where clothes are stored during the whole washing process, and still, piles of clothes get their mysterious holes on the front of the right shoulder. For those that support the seatbelt theory, we have one bmw x3 and one x5, one takes the left side (sofia, and the other the right side, lucas, and none of them hace ever worn a pijams in any of these cars.
I have taken more than 20 pictures of some of the clothes that we still have at home, used to share with frinds and family that are willing to solve this mystery. They are available for who ever wants to check them out. Its incredible, and up to a point, it is getting scary...
Untill now, we have had to throw away more than 50 clothes, and we still keep around 30, considering they don't last more than a week before they get ruined.
Please let me know if anyone can help us, i am ready to share all details.
There isn't one particular brand of washer that this is unique to Darboydoughboy. I have an LG, but I have read this complaint about nearly every front loader out there. My personal theory is that at ultra high spin speeds, areas of the clothing get sucked into the drain holes which weakens or tears the fabric. I never noticed this phenomenon in my old top loaders, but then again, my top loaders never spun clothes out at 1000 rpms.
10 minutes before midnight, 31st dec 2007, we found the answer!!!
It's the staricase handle. it has a paint used for metal bars that is rought. My two children would always come down the stairs hanging their right arm over the bar, and that is why all their cotton clothes broke on the same place!!!
hopefully this experience will be of some help to any of you guys!!
happy new year with no more holes!!!
We successfully replicated the infamous bellybutton holes. It is caused by our granite countertop in the bathroom, under the mirror. It wasnt perfectly smooth so we rubbed my cotton shirt and got the same holes at bellybutton height. We found that Kam's shirts had the same holes in the belly button area. Only the shirt's which she wore out to nice places were affected so we looked at her routine on the nights we go out. Turns out she leans against the bathroom counter to put makeup on. The holes or weakness seem to be caused by the rubbing of the counter, and the washing machine is the catalyst, or accelerator, that speeds the tearing of the threads. Hope this helps and let me know if it does!d
I have also been suffering with holes in shirts near belly button area¨ It just happened to a new shirt that has never been put in the washer. My daughter also gets the holes but my two sons and husband do not. We live in Austria and all of the clothing items were purchased over here. Very strange! Has anyone got any new theories besides the seatbelt, counter-top, or laundry detergent one. I also feel it can't be bugs or moths or everyone in my family would have the holes.
I also get holes in the front of my shirts, as do my friends. It is not just cotton becuase the shirt I am wearing has these holes and it is 100% polyester (Under Armour shirt). None of the theories above make sense.
1.) Not just cotton shirts affected
2.) I typically do not wear shorts/pants w/zippers with these shirts
3.) can't be the washer or other shirts/clothes would be affected and it would not happen to the exact same location on each shirt
4.) Can't be seat belts - it would happen to other shirts - my seat belt is is in good shape( new car) so no rough edges
5.)I do not rub against counters in these shirts - again, even if I did, why would it not happen to dress shirts or golf shirts??
I have no explanation for this phenomenon and it it driving me crazy!
Okay, these holes are not from bugs, or washing machines or, granite counters. They are caused by the little, sharp, protrusions on the brass zipper made by the holes cut in the zipper pull and folded outward. Some persons have a more pronounced belly (of course, I'm not one of them). When we lean against something with our favorite shirt out, regardless of the material of the shirt or the counter, our stomach presses the sharp zipper pull into our nice shirt and grinds it into the granite or even formica, and voila, the mysterious holes. When your shirt is tucked in, the shirt is behind the zipper and the zipper placket is completely smooth, so no problem. Persons who are not leaning against the counter with their shirt out, will not have this problem. I suspect taller or shorter persons will not have zipper destruction either.So it seems like if one is a short person doing the dishes, your shirt is going to be ruined.Housework or lab work in the nude would be the answer.
Same here...all my nice knit shirts...and now a brand new one worn twice! lots of little holes same place. I have no granite countertops. I typically am wearing an apron every day for painting. I sometimes wear jeans and sometimes knit pants....there doesn't seem to be one common denominator and I have ruined so many blouses - some only worn once or twice! I guess we could all start a new fad since so many of us have it!!

Alucase hinged enclosures offer easy access
Rolec Enclosurescontact supplier
Alucase hinged enclosures
Rolec has extended the IP67 Alucase range of die-cast aluminium enclosures models with hinged lids for applications including electronics and electrical control equipment.
The hinged lids are said to offer easier access for applications that require opening for calibration, data acquisition or servicing.
The new Alucase models have been designed with hinge assemblies that fully integrate into the design of the enclosure.
Whereas other enclosures have hinges simply bolted onto the side walls, the Alucase hinges are described as discreet extensions of the main profile of the case, achieving a modern and professional look.
The hinged models are available in 12 individual sizes, from 140 x 110 x 60mm to 280 x 170 x 90mm, and are powder painted grey, RAL 7040.
Access to the hinges and lid fixing screws is via two clip-on trims.
A key lock can also be employed for extra security.
The IP67 aluminium enclosures have been designed for harsh environments and have captured rust-free stainless-steel fixing screws.
All models include an earth point and threaded screw pillars in the lid and base for mounting PCBs, chassis, displays and DIN rails, for example.
The modern design also features a recessed area in the lid for mounting a membrane keypad.
Rolec offers a full customising service on these enclosures with CNC milling, drilling, silk-screen printing, assembly of cable glands and terminals and more, providing a fully finished housing ready for fitting the components.

Fridge/wall oven placement
I just read in another thread that it is NOT advisable to place a refrigerator next to a wall oven. Is this true? I see pictures of it all the time and was considering this in a new layout. Thanks.
It is extra insulation put in by the kitchen installer. Could be the cabinet maker or not.
As far as voiding warranty I have not read this voiding a warranty. But you should read the install instructions of the fridge you are considering. In the fridges I was considering, mostly built-ins, they simply required x amount of space for the compressor to get sufficient air.
These are routinely ignored by people too. They install free standing fridges enclosed in cabinetry to look like built-ins and then complain when the compressor dies in 3 years or so. Then they say " they don't make 'em like they used to."

Is Iceco the same as Rheem?
We thought we were getting a Rheem a/c and furnace. After the install, we looked at the unit in the attic, and it is an Iceco. The warranty book says it is a division of Rheem, so I guess it is a Rheem? Is it a low end one or is this the one they normally use?
I don't want a low end unit in our new custom home. We have been there, done that with builder grade hvac units. Every house with one has broken done in less than 5 years.
Just wondering if anyone knows if this is a good one.
I found that a bit ago. Didnt see that name mentioned at Rheems website. I thought they just did Rheem, Ruud and Weatherking. May be differant in your part of the country though.
Iceco is a Division of Rheem, usually marketed as Weatherking.
Some of the Iceco products are identical to Rheem except for the sticker. Some of the Weatherking is builder model units made in Mexico, the model & serial number will tell you when & where it was made.
In the middle of the serial number will be a letter followd by 4 numbers, the letters will be F,M,G,N
The F is for Fort Smith Ar.
The M is for Milligeville, Ga.
The G is for Greenville, Ms.
The N is for a town in Mexico that starts with an N.
the next 4 numbers is the week of the Year & the year it was made. 1707 is 17th week of 2007
0208 is the 2cd week of 2008
Hope this helps
That is great information you gave me. I will check the serial number. The unit ( I am talking about the thing hanging in the attic) does have a Rheem logo sticker on the panel that I didn't see last week. But the warranty booklet says Iceco warranty on it. It does say that Iceco is a division of Rheem. So I guess it is not a Weather King model???
If I find the serial number and it is built in Mexico, should I assume it is a Weather King?
I showed the warranty booklet to my builder. She called the owner of the HVAC place she uses and they said not to worry. It is a Rheem unit and the reason the warranty book says Iceco is because some of the parts are Iceco.
It's getting confusing. When Rheem made the stupid move of turning WeatherKing into the low end division, like Carrier did with Payne, they started using the name Iceco. Now, the base models that used to be only sold as WeatherKing are now sold as Rheem & Ruud too and appear on both websites. The deluxe stuff starts with R & U. The base stuff starts with the SEER or AFUE number. Still good stuff, just stripped of features and shorter warranty.

Great Product
Dalia from Rockville Centre, NY – Verified Buyer
Love the table - it is very stylish Only complaint is that it was hard to take the protective plastic off of the stools in a nice way, and little bits are still visible under the cushions from the side. This might be more of a problem since I ordered the table in black, but the plastic should have been more easily removed.
You from Waterford, MI – Verified Buyer
Love the product it was easy to put together and a great look for a great price.
Bevon from Baltimore, MD – Verified Buyer
My wife loves it, it added a nice touch to our living room.

Sexy S-Shaped Coffee Table
Corvette-Chick from Way South of Heaven – Verified Buyer
I love this coffee table, very sleek and sexy. Looks great with my mod furniture. The only negative was it took three times before I got a piece of glass that wasn't broken. I like two rolling stools that are included, nice for extra seating when needed. Very Happy with purchase!
Love this table!
Robin from Colorado – Verified Buyer
I am very happy with this coffee table. It is just what I wanted for my small space. It's a pleasing design, great style, and is very beautiful to look at. Great quality and easy to assemble as well.
more than just a coffee table...
brandy from spring hill, FL – Verified Buyer
this was relatively easy to assemble, taking only two of us less than 30 min. the material on the stools was a little off from what we thought tho, and one screw did get stripped, but overall we like!!
Beautiful table
Nerfertiti35 from Fort Gaines, Ga – Verified Buyer
I love this table. It's elegant and stylish. The stools came in the same color as my matching sofa without indicating color choice andi the instructions were easy to understand.
Ergonomic, Style, Quality
Steady B from Seattle WA – Verified Buyer
The stools are sturdy and comfortable and the table has more storage space then it seems. If your like me with a full (cluttered) table this is perfect for you. The lower table below the glass is perfect for remotes, coasters, ash trays etc. All those things you need here and there. That leaves the very top for other things. The table also has internal storage. ALL that in a very good looking design with high quality wood and a thick glass top./ A++
JAG from MD – Verified Buyer
The table exeeds itself, it looks just like the picture. I was really pleased with my purchase. Really added the needed touch to my living room.

To do this simply create a large plank and balance it on a wind pipe, then stand on it for four seconds. Using larger planks will be easier because you will have more space to balance on.
- Use larger planks for more room to balance.
- Use smaller planks for less room to balance, but also for an easier plank to balance on the wind pipe.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Saudi Arabia air force sergeant stood in shackles Wednesday in a Nevada courtroom and pleaded not guilty to abducting and raping a 13-year-old boy at a Las Vegas Strip hotel on New Year's Eve.
Through an Arabic language translator, Mazen Alotaibi, 23, acknowledged that he understood the nine felony charges that could put him in a Nevada prison for the rest of his life.
"But it's not right," he said through the interpreter.
Clark County District Court Judge Stefany Miley set a May 13 trial date on the charges: first-degree kidnapping, two counts of sexual assault with a minor under 14, four counts of lewdness with a child under 14, sexually-motivated coercion and burglary.
Coercion alleges Alotaibi forced the boy to do something he had a legal right not to do. Burglary in Nevada involves entering a building intending to commit a felony.
Alotaibi's lawyer, Don Chairez, said outside the courtroom that he's recommending to Saudi authorities that Alotaibi remain in custody at the Clark County jail, where he is being held on $1.72 million bail.
If a plea deal can be reached with prosecutors to avoid trial, the jail stay could be credited as time served, Chairez said.
Chairez told reporters he doesn't believe the boy's claims that he was forced into a room and raped early Dec. 31 at the Circus-Circus hotel-casino.
Chairez instead cast Alotaibi as the victim in a situation where he was severely drunk, didn't understand English and hadn't slept for many hours while traveling to Las Vegas and partying when he arrived.
For the first time, Chairez also alleged the boy stole Alotaibi's wallet and $200.
"A lot of this is going to hinge on the credibility of the boy," the defense attorney said. "We're going to expose this boy as a liar."

My Online Biz Empire - A quick Introduction One with the key what to know with regards to Matt Lloyd and his new discovery on getting tons regarding leads day-to-day and because an affiliate marketing pro is exactly where he started out. His existence had very humble beginnings throughout Australia, and before he genuinely hit the actual gold my own in multilevel marketing he was an easy lawn mowing and trimming man. One of the key issues with his story is just how he went from a normal, average, everyday guy to your marketing master simply by cracking the actual code for you to get massive amounts of leads daily for your online biz. In reality, this is basically exactly just how all MULTILEVEL MARKETING stars are born. My Online Biz Income - Start Generating revenue So lots of people are inquiring, "So just how exactly perform we begin making money online right out?

Pinkerton 5K run, walk Sunday to honor memory of two teachers
COFRIN submitted photo
DERRY - Pinkerton Academy DECA is honoring the memory of former teachers Bill Cofrin and Ralph Van Nostrand with an inaugural 5K memorial run and walk on Veterans Day, Sun. Nov. 11, beginning at 10 a.m.
The run is coordinated by two of Jen Scheffer's Level II Marketing and Business Management students, Michael DeMarco and Nicholas Egan, and is a DECA chapter project that qualifies as a community service event.
"Nicholas jumped on that idea because he was coached by Bill for two years as a member of the lacrosse team," said Scheffer. "Michael was also on board from the start because he felt as though it was a good cause to promote and work toward because of the contributions both Bill and Ralph gave to the Pinkerton Academy community for so many years."
Scheffer said Egan and DeMarco have been enthusiastic and dedicated to planning and organizing the event.
"They reached out to local businesses and received donations for gift baskets for the winners and have worked very hard to promote Sunday's event within the DECA chapter, as well as throughout the entire Pinkerton Academy community," she said.
Cofrin taught Advanced Placement Psychology for 28 years as a member of the social studies department at Pinkerton Academy. He was the head athletic trainer for 11 years and taught and developed the athletic training course offered at the high school. He was the assistant lacrosse coach for 28 years.
Van�Nostrand, who died at age 60 in January, was a career education counselor at Pinkerton, and through either coaching or volunteering, he played a large role in the athletic careers of many who played sports in the town of Derry. Among his many achievements, he founded and coached the boys' varsity volleyball team, leading his team to a number of state championships.
Anyone wishing to participate in the memorial run should meet at the Pinkerton football field by 9:45 a.m. for the 10 a.m. race. The registration cost is $10 per person. Entrants are encouraged to wear red and white to show their Pinkerton pride.
DECA is an association of marketing students and is an international organization that provides career preparation opportunities in marketing and business. A major aspect of the organization, in addition to career development, is giving back to the community, according to Scheffer.
"This year, when helping my students decide on a project to pursue, I made the suggestion to coordinate a walk in memory of Bill and Ralph and donate the money raised to each scholarship fund that has been established in each of their names," she said.

I always forget what I've purchased
tripletmom83January 19, 2014
In past years I have taken advantage of after Christmas sales and picked up wrapping paper, or lights or whatever, packed them up with my other Christmas stuff, and then completely forgot that I bought them. So of course, I buy them again. This year, I created an event on my phone's calendar. I set my phone to send me a reminder on Nov.1st, of what I've purchased and where I've put it.

- Interactive Verification of Synchronous Systems (2014)
- Embedded systems, ranging from very simple systems up to complex controllers, may nowadays have quite challenging real-time requirements. Many embedded systems are reactive systems that have to respond to environmental events and have to guarantee certain real-time constrain. Their execution is usually divided into reaction steps, where in each step, the system reads inputs from the environment and reacts to these by computing corresponding outputs. The synchronous Model of Computation (MoC) has proven to be well-suited for the development of reactive real-time embedded systems whose paradigm directly reflects the reactive nature of the systems it describes. Another advantage is the availability of formal verification by model checking as a result of the deterministic execution based on a formal semantics. Nevertheless, the increasing complexity of embedded systems requires to compensate the natural disadvantages of model checking that suffers from the well-known state-space explosion problem. It is therefore natural to try to integrate other verification methods with the already established techniques. Hence, improvements to encounter these problems are required, e.g., appropriate decomposition techniques, which encounter the disadvantages of the model checking approach naturally. But defining decomposition techniques for synchronous language is a difficult task, as a result of the inherent parallelism emerging from the synchronous broadcast communication. Inspired by the progress in the field of desynchronization of synchronous systems by representing them in other MoCs, this work will investigate the possibility of adapting and use methods and tools designed for other MoC for the verification of systems represented in the synchronous MoC. Therefore, this work introduces the interactive verification of synchronous systems based on the basic foundation of formal verification for sequential programs – the Hoare calculus. Due to the different models of computation several problems have to be solved. In particular due to the large amount of concurrency, several parts of the program are active at the same point of time. In contrast to sequential programs, a decomposition in the Hoare-logic style that is in some sense a symbolic execution from one control flow location to another one requires the consideration of several flows here. Therefore, different approaches for the interactive verification of synchronous systems are presented. Additionally, the representation of synchronous systems by other MoCs and the influence of the representation on the verification task by differently embedding synchronous system in a single verification tool are elaborated. The feasibility is shown by integration of the presented approach with the established model checking methods by implementing the AIFProver on top of the Averest system.
- Test rig optimization (2014)
- Designing good test rigs for fatigue life tests is a common task in the auto- motive industry. The problem to find an optimal test rig configuration and actuator load signals can be formulated as a mathematical program. We in- troduce a new optimization model that includes multi-criteria, discrete and continuous aspects. At the same time we manage to avoid the necessity to deal with the rainflow-counting (RFC) method. RFC is an algorithm, which extracts load cycles from an irregular time signal. As a mathematical func- tion it is non-convex and non-differentiable and, hence, makes optimization of the test rig intractable. The block structure of the load signals is assumed from the beginning. It highly reduces complexity of the problem without decreasing the feasible set. Also, we optimize with respect to the actuators' positions, which makes it possible to take torques into account and thus extend the feasible set. As a result, the new model gives significantly better results, compared with the other approaches in the test rig optimization. Under certain conditions, the non-convex test rig problem is a union of convex problems on cones. Numerical methods for optimization usually need constraints and a starting point. We describe an algorithm that detects each cone and its interior point in a polynomial time. The test rig problem belongs to the class of bilevel programs. For every instance of the state vector, the sum of functions has to be maximized. We propose a new branch and bound technique that uses local maxima of every summand.
- Private-by-Design Advertising and Analytics: From Theory to Practice (2015)
- There are a number of designs for an online advertising system that allow for behavioral targeting without revealing user online behavior or user interest profiles to the ad network. Although these designs purport to be practical solutions, none of them adequately consider the role of ad auctions, which today are central to the operation of online advertising systems. Moreover, none of the proposed designs have been deployed in real-life settings. In this thesis, we present an effort to fill this gap. First, we address the challenge of running ad auctions that leverage user profiles while keeping the profile information private. We define the problem, broadly explore the solution space, and discuss the pros and cons of these solutions. We analyze the performance of our solutions using data from Microsoft Bing advertising auctions. We conclude that, while none of our auctions are ideal in all respects, they are adequate and practical solutions. Second, we build and evaluate a fully functional prototype of a practical privacy-preserving ad system at a reasonably large scale. With more than 13K opted-in users, our system was in operation for over two months serving an average of 4800 active users daily. During the last month alone, we registered 790K ad views, 417 clicks, and even a small number of product purchases. Our system obtained click-through rates comparable with those for Google display ads. In addition, our prototype is equipped with a differentially private analytics mechanism, which we used as the primary means for gathering experimental data. In this thesis, we describe our first-hand experience and lessons learned in running the world's first fully operational "private-by-design" behavioral advertising and analytics system.
- On the Extended Finite Element Method for the Elasto-Plastic Deformation of Heterogeneous Materials (2015)
- This thesis is concerned with the extended finite element method (XFEM) for deformation analysis of three-dimensional heterogeneous materials. Using the "enhanced abs enrichment" the XFEM is able to reproduce kinks in the displacements and therewith jumps in the strains within elements of the underlying tetrahedral finite element mesh. A complex model for the micro structure reconstruction of aluminum matrix composite AMC225xe and the modeling of its macroscopic thermo-mechanical plastic deformation behavior is presented, using the XFEM. Additionally, a novel stabilization algorithm is introduced for the XFEM. This algorithm requires preprocessing only.
- Combinations of Boolean Groebner Bases and SAT Solvers (2014)
- In this thesis, we combine Groebner basis with SAT Solver in different manners. Both SAT solvers and Groebner basis techniques have their own strength and weakness. Combining them could fix their weakness. The first combination is using Groebner techniques to learn additional binary clauses for SAT solver from a selection of clauses. This combination is first proposed by Zengler and Kuechlin. However, in our experiments, about 80 percent Groebner basis computations give no new binary clauses. By selecting smaller and more compact input for Groebner basis computations, we can significantly reduce the number of inefficient Groebner basis computations, learn much more binary clauses. In addition, the new strategy can reduce the solving time of a SAT Solver in general, especially for large and hard problems. The second combination is using all-solution SAT solver and interpolation to compute Boolean Groebner bases of Boolean elimination ideals of a given ideal. Computing Boolean Groebner basis of the given ideal is an inefficient method in case we want to eliminate most of the variables from a big system of Boolean polynomials. Therefore, we propose a more efficient approach to handle such cases. In this approach, the given ideal is translated to the CNF formula. Then an all-solution SAT Solver is used to find the projection of all solutions of the given ideal. Finally, an algorithm, e.g. Buchberger-Moeller Algorithm, is used to associate the reduced Groebner basis to the projection. We also optimize the Buchberger-Moeller Algorithm for lexicographical ordering and compare it with Brickenstein's interpolation algorithm. Finally, we combine Groebner basis and abstraction techniques to the verification of some digital designs that contain complicated data paths. For a given design, we construct an abstract model. Then, we reformulate it as a system of polynomials in the ring \({\mathbb Z}_{2^k}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\). The variables are ordered in a way such that the system has already been a Groebner basis w.r.t lexicographical monomial ordering. Finally, the normal form is employed to prove the desired properties. To evaluate our approach, we verify the global property of a multiplier and a FIR filter using the computer algebra system Singular. The result shows that our approach is much faster than the commercial verification tool from Onespin on these benchmarks.
- Impact of 'Dioxins' on Gene Expression in Mouse Liver in vivo, and in both Rat Liver Cells and Human Blood Cells In Culture (2014)
- 'Dioxin-like' (DL) compounds occur ubiquitously in the environment. Toxic responses associated with specific dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) include dermal toxicity, immunotoxicity, liver toxicity, carcinogenicity, as well as adverse effects on reproduction, development, and endocrine functions. Most, if not all of these effects are believed to be due to interaction of these compounds with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). With tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) as representatively most potent congener, a toxic equivalency factor (TEF) concept was employed, in which respective congeners were assigned to a certain TEF-value reflecting the compound's toxicity relative to TCDD's. The EU-project 'SYSTEQ' aimed to develop, validate, and implement human systemic TEFs as indicators of toxicity for DL-congeners. Hence, the identification of novel quantifiable biomarkers of exposure was a major objective of the SYSTEQ project. In order to approach to this objective, a mouse whole genome microarray analysis was applied using a set of seven individual congeners, termed the 'core congeners'. These core congeners (TCDD, 1-PeCDD, 4-PeCDF, PCB 126, PCB 118, PCB 156, and the non dioxin-like PCB 153), which contribute to approximately 90% of toxic equivalents (TEQs) in the human food chain, were further tested in vivo as well as in vitro. The mouse whole genome microarray revealed a conserved list of differentially regulated genes and pathways associated with 'dioxin-like' effects. A definite data-set of in vitro studies was supposed to function as a fundament for a probable establishment of novel TEFs. Thus, CYP1A induction measured by EROD activity, which represents a sensitive and yet best known marker for dioxin-like effects, was used to estimate potency and efficacy of selected congeners. For this study, primary rat hepatocytes and the rat hepatoma cell line H4IIE were used as well as the core congeners and an additional group of compounds of comparable relevance for the environment: 1,6-HxCDD, 1,4,6-HpCDD, TCDF, 1,4-HxCDF, 1,4,6-HpCDF, PCB 77, and PCB 105. Besides, a human whole genome microarray experiment was applied in order to gain knowledge with respect to TCDD's impact towards cells of the immune system. Hence, human primary blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from individuals and exposed to TCDD or to TCDD in combination with a stimulus (lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or phytohemagglutinin (PHA)). A few members of the AhR-gene batterie were found to be regulated, and minor data with respect to potential TCDD-mediated immunomodulatory effects were given. Still, obtained data in this regard was limited due to great inter-individual differences.
- Robust Flows with Losses and Improvability in Evacuation Planning (2014)
- We consider a network flow problem, where the outgoing flow is reduced by a certain percentage in each node. Given a maximum amount of flow that can leave the source node, the aim is to find a solution that maximizes the amount of flow which arrives at the sink. Starting from this basic model, we include two new, additional aspects: On the one hand, we are able to reduce the loss at some of the nodes; on the other hand, the exact loss values are not known, but may come from a discrete uncertainty set of exponential size. Applications for problems of this type can be found in evacuation planning, where one would like to improve the safety of nodes such that the number of evacuees reaching safety is maximized. We formulate the resulting robust flow problem with losses and improvability as a mixed-integer program for finitely many scenarios, and present an iterative scenario-generation procedure that avoids the inclusion of all scenarios from the beginning. In a computational study using both randomly generated instance and realistic data based on the city of Nice, France, we compare our solution algorithms.
- Virtual Reality Methods for Research in the Geosciences (2014)
- In the presented work, I evaluate if and how Virtual Reality (VR) technologies can be used to support researchers working in the geosciences by providing immersive, collaborative visualization systems as well as virtual tools for data analysis. Technical challenges encountered in the development of theses systems are identified and solutions for these are provided. To enable geologists to explore large digital terrain models (DTMs) in an immersive, explorative fashion within a VR environment, a suitable terrain rendering algorithm is required. For realistic perception of planetary curvature at large viewer altitudes, spherical rendering of the surface is necessary. Furthermore, rendering must sustain interactive frame rates of about 30 frames per second to avoid sensory confusion of the user. At the same time, the data structures used for visualization should also be suitable for efficiently computing spatial properties such as height profiles or volumes in order to implement virtual analysis tools. To address these requirements, I have developed a novel terrain rendering algorithm based on tiled quadtree hierarchies using the HEALPix parametrization of a sphere. For evaluation purposes, the system is applied to a 500 GiB dataset representing the surface of Mars. Considering the current development of inexpensive remote surveillance equipment such as quadcopters, it seems inevitable that these devices will play a major role in future disaster management applications. Virtual reality installations in disaster management headquarters which provide an immersive visualization of near-live, three-dimensional situational data could then be a valuable asset for rapid, collaborative decision making. Most terrain visualization algorithms, however, require a computationally expensive pre-processing step to construct a terrain database. To address this problem, I present an on-the-fly pre-processing system for cartographic data. The system consists of a frontend for rendering and interaction as well as a distributed processing backend executing on a small cluster which produces tiled data in the format required by the frontend on demand. The backend employs a CUDA based algorithm on graphics cards to perform efficient conversion from cartographic standard projections to the HEALPix-based grid used by the frontend. Measurement of spatial properties is an important step in quantifying geological phenomena. When performing these tasks in a VR environment, a suitable input device and abstraction for the interaction (a "virtual tool") must be provided. This tool should enable the user to precisely select the location of the measurement even under a perspective projection. Furthermore, the measurement process should be accurate to the resolution of the data available and should not have a large impact on the frame rate in order to not violate interactivity requirements. I have implemented virtual tools based on the HEALPix data structure for measurement of height profiles as well as volumes. For interaction, a ray-based picking metaphor was employed, using a virtual selection ray extending from the user's hand holding a VR interaction device. To provide maximum accuracy, the algorithms access the quad-tree terrain database at the highest available resolution level while at the same time maintaining interactivity in rendering. Geological faults are cracks in the earth's crust along which a differential movement of rock volumes can be observed. Quantifying the direction and magnitude of such translations is an essential requirement in understanding earth's geological history. For this purpose, geologists traditionally use maps in top-down projection which are cut (e.g. using image editing software) along the suspected fault trace. The two resulting pieces of the map are then translated in parallel against each other until surface features which have been cut by the fault motion come back into alignment. The amount of translation applied is then used as a hypothesis for the magnitude of the fault action. In the scope of this work it is shown, however, that performing this study in a top-down perspective can lead to the acceptance of faulty reconstructions, since the three-dimensional structure of topography is not considered. To address this problem, I present a novel terrain deformation algorithm which allows the user to trace a fault line directly within a 3D terrain visualization system and interactively deform the terrain model while inspecting the resulting reconstruction from arbitrary perspectives. I demonstrate that the application of 3D visualization allows for a more informed interpretation of fault reconstruction hypotheses. The algorithm is implemented on graphics cards and performs real-time geometric deformation of the terrain model, guaranteeing interactivity with respect to all parameters. Paleoceanography is the study of the prehistoric evolution of the ocean. One of the key data sources used in this research are coring experiments which provide point samples of layered sediment depositions at the ocean floor. The samples obtained in these experiments document the time-varying sediment concentrations within the ocean water at the point of measurement. The task of recovering the ocean flow patterns based on these deposition records is a challenging inverse numerical problem, however. To support domain scientists working on this problem, I have developed a VR visualization tool to aid in the verification of model parameters by providing simultaneous visualization of experimental data from coring as well as the resulting predicted flow field obtained from numerical simulation. Earth is visualized as a globe in the VR environment with coring data being presented using a billboard rendering technique while the time-variant flow field is indicated using Line-Integral-Convolution (LIC). To study individual sediment transport pathways and their correlation with the depositional record, interactive particle injection and real-time advection is supported.
- The LIR Space Partitioning System applied to the Stokes Equations (2014)
- We consider two major topics in this thesis: spatial domain partitioning which serves as a framework to simulate creep flows in representative volume elements. First, we introduce a novel multi-dimensional space partitioning method. A new type of tree combines the advantages of the Octree and the KD-tree without having their disadvantages. We present a new data structure allowing local refinement, parallelization and proper restriction of transition ratios between nodes. Our technique has no dimensional restrictions at all. The tree's data structure is defined by a topological algebra based on the symbols \( A = \{ L, I, R \} \) that encode the partitioning steps. The set of successors is restricted such that each node has the partition of unity property to partition domains without overlap. With our method it is possible to construct a wide choice of spline spaces to compress or reconstruct scientific data such as pressure and velocity fields and multidimensional images. We present a generator function to build a tree that represents a voxel geometry. The space partitioning system is used as a framework to allow numerical computations. This work is triggered by the problem of representing, in a numerically appropriate way, huge three-dimensional voxel geometries that could have up to billions of voxels. These large datasets occure in situations where it is needed to deal with large representative volume elements (REV). Second, we introduce a novel approach of variable arrangement for pressure and velocity to solve the Stokes equations. The basic idea of our method is to arrange variables in a way such that each cell is able to satisfy a given physical law independently from its neighbor cells. This is done by splitting velocity values to a left and right converging component. For each cell we can set up a small linear system that describes the momentum and mass conservation equations. This formulation allows to use the Gauß-Seidel algorithm to solve the global linear system. Our tree structure is used for spatial partitioning of the geometry and provides a proper initial guess. In addition, we introduce a method that uses the actual velocity field to refine the tree and improve the numerical accuracy where it is needed. We developed a novel approach rather than using existing approaches such as the SIMPLE algorithm, Lattice-Boltzmann methods or Exlicit jump methods since they are suited for regular grid structures. Other standard CFD approaches extract surfaces and creates tetrahedral meshes to solve on unstructured grids thus can not be applied to our datastructure. The discretization converges to the analytical solution with respect to grid refinement. We conclude a high strength in computational time and memory for high porosity geometries and a high strength in memory requirement for low porosity geometries.
- Transit Dependent Evacuation Planning for Kathmandu Valley: A Case Study (2014)
- Due to the increasing number of natural or man-made disasters, the application of operations research methods in evacuation planning has seen a rising interest in the research community. From the beginning, evacuation planning has been highly focused on car-based evacuation. Recently, also the evacuation of transit depended evacuees with the help of buses has been considered. In this case study, we apply two such models and solution algorithms to evacuate a core part of the metropolitan capital city Kathmandu of Nepal as a hypothetical endangered region, where a large part of population is transit dependent. We discuss the computational results for evacuation time under a broad range of possible scenarios, and derive planning suggestions for practitioners.

"Good stuff"
I had toyed with the idea of picking up these books on occasion at various places. After I heard the interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air (on my 40th birthday no less), I had to give these a try. This not just kidstuff (although they are completely kid appropriate). These are so much FUN!!! My husband and I listen to them over and over and laugh our heads off. Misery loves company -- and I am hooked. The characters in this one are really great -- and the image of Salmonella Restaurant (featuring All Salmon all the time) will stay with you forever.

Case Study
Kroll, Inc.
Together with MarkMonitor, bridging the gap between the virtual and physical worlds
New gTLD Resource Center
Automotive & Industrial Manufacturing Industries
Counterfeit spare parts can have fatal consequences—while also damaging reputations and revenues
No one wants consumers traveling in automobiles and aircraft whose safety is compromised by substandard parts. But according to the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association, the global automotive industry loses US$12 billion annually to counterfeiting. To make matters worse, this in turn robs the industry of 750,000 jobs.
Enter the Internet, whose anonymity and global reach make it the ideal vehicle for trafficking in counterfeit and grey market parts on B2B exchange sites, online auctions and unauthorized eCommerce sites—undermining both the margins and the integrity of legitimate distribution channels. It's equally frustrating that the scammers exploit brands built with tremendous care (and at great expense) to divert web traffic and disrupt the supply chain.
Driving away with their ill-gotten gains, these criminals leave legitimate brandholders with sagging demand, damaged channel relationships, and higher customer service and warranty costs—not to mention the staggering product liabilities involved when brakes, engine parts or other components fail.
Fortunately, automotive and industrial manufacturers can reclaim their brands, channels and revenues using the right combination of strategy, technology and vigilance. MarkMonitor® can help.
MarkMonitor at Work
A major industrial goods manufacturer protects their reputation and revenues by using MarkMonitor Brand Protection™ and MarkMonitor Domain Management solutions—shutting down online sales of counterfeit goods and throttling the brand abuse employed to divert traffic from authorized distribution channels.

- Maintain healthy margins and strong relationships by effectively managing channels and acting against unauthorized sellers
- Help bring down big offenders by identifying multi-channel operators and amassing evidence to enable investigations into supply sources
- Keep multiple brands strong online through proactive domain portfolio management
- $1.2 million in counterfeit and unauthorized products removed from a single auction site in just six months
- A four-fold decrease in the number of illicit exchange and auction site listings, restoring legitimate revenue flow
- 60% of squatted sites shut down in less than four weeks, enabling previously diverted web traffic to more easily find authorized resellers
- 95% reduction in unauthorized use of copyrighted brand images and text

New Commerce secretary Pritzker to visit Colorado businesses
- Mark Harden
- News Director- Denver Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
Penny Pritzker, the new U.S. secretary of Commerce, will visit Denver-area businesses Thursday and Friday as she kicks off a nationwide "listening tour."
Pritzker plans to stop at Bouder-based Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. on Thursday and Denver's Intertech Plastics Inc. on Friday.
Prizker will "travel across the country to meet with business and thought leaders, entrepreneurs, academics and Department of Commerce employees," the agency said. "She'll hear from these groups about their priorities, concerns and ideas on how the public and private sectors can work together to strengthen the economy and create American jobs."
At Ball Aerospace, the space-technology division of Broomfield-based Ball Corp. (NYSE: BLL), Pritzker "will hold a roundtable with local business and community leaders, as well as government officials, to hear about the challenges they face when it comes to the growth and success of businesses and the economy," the Commerce Department said.
At Intertech, she'll visit a company that makes high-speed, high-volume injection molding products.
Pritzker also plans stops at local offices of agencies her department administers, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which includes the National Weather Service, and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
Commerce also runs the Census Bureau and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Pritzker is a billionaire businesswoman and longtime political backer of President Barack Obama who co-founded Artemis Real Estate Partners, was CEO of PSP Capital Partners and was a a board member of Hyatt Hotels, which her family controls.
She was confirmed for her post by a 97-1 Senate vote in June.

When is rubbish collected?
Will we provide bins for you to store your rubbish?
We provide recycling and composting kit free of charge but do not provide bins for non-recyclable rubbish.
If you would like to purchase a bin for your own use please ensure it is no more than 1.07 metres high (the standard size of a wheelie bin up to 240 litres). This is because our collection crews manually empty each bin and must be able to reach to the base of the bin to empty it.
Any bin for rubbish should be black or grey. It must NOT be green, as this is the colour of our recycling bins.
The bin must be stored entirely within your property, and there must be no steps between where it is stored and the public highway.
If you have any questions about purchasing a rubbish bin, please contact environment services
Can I put bags next to or in litter bins?
No, this is flytipping.
