DEVICE FOR THE DETERMINATION AND THE AUTOMATIC REAL TIME COMPUTATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF MANS STABILITY OF STANCE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known that the human body, even that of a motionless standing man, experiences continuous micromotions or variations in stance of which he is unaware. These motions represent front-to-back and side-to-side oscillations, which in turn, represent shifts of physiologic gravicenter (center of gravity of the human body). These are compensatory shifts which assure the maintenance of body equilibrium through the complex, reflex mechanisms of the central nervous system. The amplitude of these oscillations varies not only from subject to subject, but for one and the same subject, in accordance with the subjects physiologic condition at any particular time. The study of mans stability of stance offers important data to specialists in various disciplines-clinical medicine, physiology of the higher nervous system, otolaryngology, aerospace medicine, sport medicine, etc.
In the past, several devices and related equipment have been proposed to study mans stability of stance. Among them is a kymograph which records the motions of different parts of the body or a movable pneumatic platform recording the oscillations of a man standing on it. However, all such prior techniques have lacked a high degree of precision and an adaptability for objective application to practical medicine.
The present apparatus, which may be termed a statokinetometer", differs from previous apparatus by offering the following advantages: measurements are carried out under normal physiologic conditions and causing no discomfort to the subject or patient; high accuracy of measurements and computation of the stability of stance parameters; real-time computation of the parameters of the stability of stance, yielding numerical data; ease of operation; and extremely simple and brief testing procedures.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a platform with sensors and an electronically responsive system for measuring and computing, in real time, the stability of stance parameters of a man standing on the platform. The resulting data yield the total amplitude of mans physiologic gravicenter shifts in the longitudinal and the transverse planes, namely, in terms of X and Y coordinates. The signals generated in the data reduction system are memorized by 6 counters which are activated by the program controller in a definite order. The automatic data reduction system eliminates manual, time consuming computation of stability of stance measurements, and makes the stability of stance information available in numerical form immediately at the end of each test. The data reduction system computes the total amplitude of the subjects physiologic gravicenter projection per unit time (cm/min), a new stability of stance parameter offered in accordance with the present invention. Associated with the platform strain gauges, together with an electronically responsive system, a visual readout, and a program sequence controller, which can present light, sound, or other stimulito the subject during the course of a test. This system allows data output on magnetic tape, strip chart, or other types of recording equipment.
Accordingly, primary objects of the present invention. are to provide an electronic system for the real time computation of data to obtain parameters of stability of stance per unit time; in such a system, an operational memory, in the form of a series of electronic counters, for retaining the numerical results of each test; in such a system, a programming device to control the system according to a selected program in such a system, electronic timers to regulate duration of stimuli signals; in such asystem, a visual readout for the continuous control of all test phases; in such a system, a platform of new optimal dimensions and optimal material, which will simplify manufacture and thus yield more linear deformation of load elements; in such a system, increased accuracy of the measurements and decreased cost; and a new mounting arrangement of load elements to afford more uniform and linear response and symmetry of axis.
A more specific object of the present invention is to provide, as load elements, a series of rings, the axes of which are parallel to the platform and the peripheries of which support the platform. The structure and organization of the rings are responsible for extremely high reliability and repeatability.
The apparatus of the present invention permits automatic measurement and automatic computation of stability of stance parameters of a subject, and displays the results in numerical data that are useful, for example: in neurological and nuerosurgical clinics for the diagnosis (confirmation or differential diagnosis) of central nervous system diseases, including benign or malignant growths in the brain; in research of the physiology of the higher nervous system and also in the area of molaryngology (studies of the vestibular function apparatus); in aviation, space, and sport medicine research; in the development of new footwear, on the basis of comfort and of physiologic factors; and in the study, design, and development of new types of artificial limbs in orthopedic practice. Some of the other objects of the present invention are obvious; and some will in part be discussed in the following pages.
The invention accordingly comprises the devices, processes, and systems, together with their parts, steps, and components, which are exemplified in the following disclosure, the scope of which will be indicated in the appended claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED i EMBODIMENT The system shown in FIG. I comprises a gravicenter responsive platform 30 on which a subject stands, a source 36 of physiologic stimuli, a visual readout 34, and a computer readout 37. Source 36 includes visual stimuli (in the form of light sources of different colors and intensities) and audio sources (of different frequencies-and intensities) towhich the man being tested may be subjected, as well as a timer for varying the duration of light and audio stimuli in accordance with a preselected program. Visual readout 34 is in the form of a strip-chart recorder that produces a continuous rccord sheet 38 on which X and Y gravicenter movements are presented as separate indicia 42, 40. Computer readout 37 includes an analog to digital converter for receiving analog signals from the gravicenter platform, and a digital computer for processing the resulting digital signals in accordance with .a selected program. For example, the computer, which may be any of a variety of types, in one form is a portable Hewlett- Packard 2100 digital computer.
As previously indicated, the function of platform 30 is the transformation of the magnitudes and variations of gravicenter loads along X and Y axes into analog signals. The platform comprises an upper plate 44, a lower plate 46,and at least three rings, 48 which support the upper plateabove the lower plate. In the illustrated case, the upper and lower plates are square; and there are four rings, disposed respectively at the four corners of the plates, which are in registered superposition. In alternative embodiments, the plates are circular, oval, rectangular, hexagonal and octagonal. The plates which are composed of metal or plastic, for example, can vary from about 2().Ol00.0 cm (8 to 50 inches) in maximum horizontal dimension.
As shown in FIG. 2, each ring 48 is positioned with its axis parallel to the planes of plates 44, 46, and perpendicular to a diagonal of the plates, the lower portion of the ring periphery 50 abutting against plate 46 and the upper portion ofring periphery 50 abutting against plate 44. Anchoring the ring to plate 46 is a rod 58, which is fixed to plate 46 by screws 60, 60. Anchoring the ring to plate 44 is a rod 56, which is fixed to plate 44 by, screws 61, 6 1. At the inner and outer portions of ring periphery 50 are a pair of strain gauges 52, 54, respectively. Rings 48, for example, are composed of a resilient metal (such as steel, bronze, aluminum or alloys thereof) or of a resilient plastic (such as nylon or another linear polyamide). Typically, each ring 48 varies in diameter from 2 to 10 centimeters and deforms diametrically under full load from 0.0l to 3.00 millimeters. It will be understood that the spring elements, in other models, are in such alternative forms as helical coils. Typically, each strain gauge, which may be of the extensible wire or semiconductor type, varies in maximum dimension from 5 to 30 millimeters and has an effective resistance that varies from 50 to 450 ohms. Each ring can accept a load up to kilograms without permanent deformation. Typically the entire load on the platform ranges from 70 to kilograms, and the load on each ring ranges from 20 to 30 kilograms. As shown in FIG. 6, shifts from W to W in the load AS on the platform result in changes in the respective forces F F F F applied across the four rings. In consequence, the vector components AX, AY of the load increment AS are represented by analog signals gener-' ated by the pairs of strain gauges affixed to the rings.
The mathematical or theoretical diagram of the platform is given in FIG. 6 which shows the application of forces on its surface. The rings with the strain gages are indicated by 48-1 to 4; the response 'to the load by F,,F,,; the weight of the load by WW the shift of the load projection by AS and its corresponding values for axes X and Y by AX and AY.
As shown in FIGS. 8, 9, 10, voltage changes in the diagonal sections of the bridge circuit in the X direction are proportional to the sum of the load decrease on sensors 48-1 and 48-4 and the load increases on sensors 48-2 and 48-3 (FIG. 7). This yields:
where K is the electrical coefficient, F F F F are the sensors reactions before shifting of load (W), and F F F represent sensors reaction after shifting of load (W).
Let us assume that reaction to load is concentrated at one single point atthe center of each load element, and that the load surface (plate) is completely (absolutely) solid (firm) and placed over the sensors without being anchored down. In this case, from the equation of the force moment related to axis ,Y (FIG. 1), for the first position, we have where W is the weight of the shifting load and 1 is the distance between the load elements in the direction of X axis.
The next equation describes the load shift from P to P over distance AS, i.e.
From the equation of the force moments of axis Y, moving parallel to axis Y and across sensors 48-2 and 48-3, for the first position we have:
and for the second position we have W (1 XAX)+(F '+F 1 Equations (2), (3), (4), and (S) substituted in equation (1) yields:
This formula (6) proves that: l) the information given by the device is directly proportional to load shifts in the corresponding direction; 2) the data obtained (value V) does not depend upon the position of the load on the platform, in fact distance X is not included in the equation.
The bridge arrangements of the following strain gauges are illustrated in FIGS. 8, 9,and 10. The outer,
strain gauges, which constitute bridge 82, are in the mechanical clockwise sequence R R R R and in the electrical clockwise sequence R R R R, The inner strain gauges, which constitute bridge 84, are in the mechanical clockwise sequence R R R R and in the electrical clockwise sequence R R R R,,. In bridge 82, a power supply 132 is connected across the junctions of R R and R R and an output amplifier 128, 136 is connected across the junctions of R R and R R,. In bridge 84, a power supply 134 is connected across the junctions of R R and R R and an output amplifier 130, 138 is connected across thejunctions of R R and R R As shown in FIG. 7, the outputs of amplifiers 128, 130 are fed to a data reduction system 140, 142; and the resulting signalsare applied by an automatic sequence controller 110 to two channcls of an electronic amplitude adder. Automatic sequence controller 110 also controls the operation of recorder 34, light source 116, audio source 118, and timer 120. Suitable switches 122-, 126, respectively, monitor sequence controller 1 10 and provide an output to computer 37. Incremental movements along the X and Y axes are summed in an adder 112.
The circuit diagram of one channel of amplitude adder 112 is shown in FIG. 11. The input signal is applied through a push-pull amplifier. stage 160 to a stor age capacitor 163 in association with pair of amplifiers 164, 166. Capacitor 163 is the plate load for these tubes. When the voltage across the capacitor reaches a value that is sufficient to gate an amplifier 168, the current through the latter begins to increase avalanchwise, and the voltage pulse that is produced at the plate in this case is used to trigger a kipp relay 170, 174. The square pulse generated by the kipp relay is fed to the grids of amplifier 176. Its cathode load is an electronic impulse counter which counts the pulses generated by the kipp relay.
The charging rate of the capacitor varies according to the value of the signal fed to the amplitude adder which causes a change in the number of pulses generated by the kipp relay for a certain time interval and,
therefore, a change in the readings of the pulse counter for that same period. An experimental check of the dependence of the counter readings upon the value of the input signal shows a linear dependence between them. The frequency response of the amplitude adder ranges from 0.1 to 30 cps.
EXAMPLES FIG. 16 (a) illustrates typical X and Y strip-chart readouts produced in accordance with the present invention. The X and Y oscillations associated with baseline 182 designate a healty person. The X and Y oscillations associated with baseline 184 designate tumor of the brain. The X and Y oscillations associated with baseline 186 designate tumor of the spinal cord. The X and Y oscillationsassociated with baseline 188 indicate disseminated sclerosis. The X and Y oscillations associated with base line 190 indicate hypertensive disease. The X and-Yoscillations associated with baseline 192 indicate Parkinsons disease. F IO. 16 (b) illustrates typical X and Y strip chart-readouts for a healthy subject, with eyes opened, closed and re-opened. The results obtained with 32 healty subjects (16 men and 16 women) are given in Table 1. FIG. 17 is a typical data sheet for use in connection with the information produced.
. FIGS. 12, 13, 14, and 15 illustrate the linearity of response of strain gauges interms of volts with respect to deformation.
OPERATION The apparatus permits the determination of the degree of the stability of stance of a subject and computes the total amplitude of the oscillations of his physiologic gravicenter per unit time (one minute) in centimeters. This amplitude is directly proportional to the shifts of the physiologic gravicenter of the subject standing on the electronic platform. Before beginning the measurement, it is necessary to calibrate the device by means of calibrating load. Calibration is carried out by rolling the weight, such as a cylindrical form (block of weight), along the platform for a given distance (usually 200 millimeters) in the directions of front-to-back and left-to-right while simultaneously reading the information of the corresponding counters. Thecounters are then reset. The subject then stands on the electronic platform, the bridges are balanced, and the automatic program sequence controller is actuated.

During appropriate time intervals, this device automatically actuates the counters-in the proper order as well as the required light and sound stimuli. After the end of the test, the sequence controller shuts off the apparatus and actuates the light display which shows that the investigation is completed. For example, the first pair of counters (I and I FIG. 7) memorize the results of the subjects stability of stance, with eyes open, for the duration of seconds. After a short sound signal the subject, having been briefed ahead, shuts his eyes.
The second pair of counters (II and II) then memorizes the results during 30 seconds with eyes closed. After the next short sound signal, the subject opens his eyes and the third pair of counters (III and Ill) fixes the re sults during the last 30 seconds with eyes open again. In each pair, one counter records the X plane (I, II, III) and the other the Y plane (I, II, III) FIG. 7 so that immediately after the test is completed the operator reads from the counters a 6-number figure, representing the total amplitudes of the oscillations of the physiologic gravicenter of the person being tested, and enters it on the data sheet (FIG. 17).
CONCLUSION The present invention thus provides a device for enabling the automatic real-time computation of the parameters of a mans stability of stance in terms of digital data capable of being processed in a digital computer. As mentioned earlier, the proposed device allows (permits) the automatic measurement and computation of mans parameters of the stability of stance on two planes which are sufficient to solve most of the set tasks. However, for some special investigations an additional number of parameters, characteristic of mans act of standing, can also be measured and analyzed using a special program. These additional parameters are calculated by the computer of the system. For our system, (purpose) we used a portable Hewlett-Packard 2100 digital computer, however the investigator may use any other similar portable computer. The computer allows, for example, one to analyze (calculate) the absolute and the mean frequency oscillations of the physiologic gravicenter of the subject or the patient, in the frontal and saggital planes, for all the phases of the study. The auto and crosscorrelation, the statistical, as well as, other analyses of mans stability of stance are also performed, which greatly broadens the efficiency of the proposed equipment and increases its value. Since certain changes may be made in the foregoing disclosure without departing from the scope of the invention hereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings be interpreted in a broad and not in a limiting sense.

Oral Histories of Reagan Offer Glimpse of President
In conjunction with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the Miller Center has been interviewing Reagan administration officials since 2001 and recently released more than 2,500 pages of transcripts.
The interviewees include such well-known figures as former secretary of state George P. Shultz, former defense secretary Caspar Weinberger, Reagan treasury secretary and White House chief of staff James A. Baker III and longtime Reagan political adviser Stuart Spencer, as well as lesser-known officials who had close access to the president and who provided intimate reminiscences of his presidency.
These are the recollections of Reagan loyalists, who offer generally positive portraits of the president, but not always. Reagan is at once human, detached, strong and malleable -- determined to bankrupt the Soviets with a costly arms race; baffled and humbled by the Iran-contra affair; influenced by his wife, Nancy; quick with a joke or story; indifferent to the details of many of his administration's policies.
Stephen Knott, an associate professor at Virginia and the Reagan project team leader, said Reagan's weaknesses -- as well as his strengths -- were evident from the interviews, but Knott said he was struck by the consistent description of Reagan's decency, describing him as "utterly without guile." "This man is the anti-Nixon to the core," Knott said. "It's kind of refreshing that someone seemingly this decent can rise to the top of the American political system. The man had his weaknesses, but as a human being, he seems to be first-rate."

Phillies 1B Ryan Howard Needs Knee Surgery
(PHILADELPHIA) -- Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard will need to have left knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus and will miss at least six to eight weeks. An MRI performed on Monday confirmed the diagnosis.
The Phillies placed Howard on the 15-day disabled list Saturday after he was playing with a noticeable limp. The 2006 NL MVP was batting .266 with 11 home runs and 43 RBIs.
No date for the surgery has been set.

How do you define a dream?
April 29, 2014
"A dream is a project."
I can still hear the guy who said that. He'd invented a contraption that keeps dogs safe while riding in a car. He'd delivered the line with so much enthusiasm he threatened to give dreams a bad name. That's how much work he made them sound.
We'd spent the first few minutes of our conversation talking about how much he loves dogs. Nothing superficial about this affection. It went deep. It burned with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns, as Katie might've described it years ago -- reciting a line from a favorite cartoon.
Dog Lover put me on hold for a minute while he corralled one of his furry friends, but he didn't realize the recorder was still on. When we listened to the interview later we couldn't stop laughing at what had happened while we were on hold. "Shut up!" he'd screamed at the dog he loved so much, so loudly and with so much frustration I swear I can still hear it.
You love your pets, your work, your life. But up close, on any given day, maybe not so much.
"Dreamy" is often only from a distance.
How's your vision?
April 28, 2014
It was stunning, really. In the course of an approximately fifteen-minute conversation, the gentleman had trashed not only high school and college sports -- but high school and college altogether, driving in the winter, and life itself.
Don't get me wrong. There are problems, big problems, inherent in all of those.
But the man was so down on everything I wondered how he found motivation to get up in the morning. What could possibly be the point?
"Indeed," I'm sure he would've said.
There's some grumpy in all of us, I bet -- including me. But because I don't talk with this person very often, it was easy to see him for what he was -- a bit of a spirit killer. All you could do was laugh at the hopelessness worthy of a Rodney Dangerfield routine.
So why, when I'm having a bad day, it's sometimes difficult to remember life won't always suck?
Because I'm too close to the situation, that's why. It's like holding your hand really close to your face. It looks fuzzy. You have to pull away a little, to sharpen that perspective.
See for yourself.
What does your body know?
April 24, 2014
Most of the time you'll find me slouched over a keyboard. Sometimes you'll hear me trailing off at the end of a sentence, to keep from offending by saying something straight out.
I'm not proud.
Just honest.
Darrell's noticed that isn't always true. There are times I stand up straight and present myself with not only confidence but with the full force of my convictions.
I take it as a sign what I'm talking about is worth your time. I find it interesting my body knows something my mind hasn't had the chance to process yet.
What does your body language say about you?
How do you withstand the bullies?
April 23, 2014
You wouldn't expect the author of a book called The Benevolent Dictator to have much patience for people who cry at work. Would you?
But Michael Feuer, former CEO of OfficeMax who's graced the talk show more than once, told me he doesn't read tears as a sign of weakness. He reads them as a sign he's doing something wrong.
Hence the word benevolent, huh?
When someone starts crying -- or yelling, for that matter -- you can take it as a sign productive communication is over. You don't have to give up on that, but unless you stop for a moment and reassess your technique I wish you luck getting anywhere you want to go.
You probably know people who keep tickling after you beg them to stop. Who keep teasing after you tell them it hurts. Who won't let up with the accusations when they couldn't be further from your truth.
If they refuse to read the signs it's your job to hold up a bigger one.
It's red and white, has eight sides, and will help you turn a corner -- if you take it seriously.
Who ups your game?
April 22, 2014
When I found out my friend Colleen had subscribed to my blog, I tweaked that night's post for an hour. I'm not kidding.
Wasn't I already as picky about wording as it's possible to be?
Apparently not.
Talking with Colleen or even just thinking about her inspires me.
You're supposedly the average of the five people you spend the most time with. I've only met Colleen in person once and I don't know her very well at all. What I do know, though, makes me want to do a better job at life.
Because you only get the one...
Is there really no such thing as a stupid question?
April 21, 2014
The light we just bought -- the one that'll help me apply makeup in even the most dimly-lit hotel bathrooms -- was anchored to a sturdy piece of cardboard backing with contraptions that took Darrell a while to assess.
"Do they have instructions for freeing the light from the cardboard? On the back of it, maybe?" I asked. Then I realized how silly that would be. Darrell agreed. But if they did, he guessed they'd be under a heading that read: "How to Steal This."
When I was little I submitted a question to a national newspaper column that catered to curious kids. "Why the 'T' in T-shirt?" not only made the column but rated a headline in my hometown paper: "Omahan learns why of 'T' in T-shirt." Which inspired so many other questions. Like what the heck I'd been thinking. What did I think the T stood for? What? And if I was so curious, why didn't I just ask someone a little more worldly? A baby brother or sister, perhaps.
During the talk show I once asked a career consultant who's also a triathlete if the Ironman is a year-round sport. He was gracious as he explained you don't do Ironmans in the northeastern part of the country in the winter. Then it hit me, how difficult it is to swim through ice.
Darrell thinks a willingness to ask the silly questions is essential for a talk show host. What's silly to one person, after all, is often what the next person would ask -- if he wasn't afraid of embarrassing himself.
A question about cow sex comes to mind. It wasn't something I'd posed on the talk show, thankfully. It was on the way to California several years ago. Darrell fielded one question after another as we made our way across the desert, and Katie was enchanted. The laughter kept building until my big finale, at which point Darrell bent over the steering wheel and started laughing so hard I thought he'd never stop.
If you want to find out what I asked, let me know.
I hesitate to fill you in here.
It's that silly.

Do you ask good questions?
April 17, 2014
"Why don't they just water ski somewhere else?"
You'll have to watch this video of people dodging Asian carp to understand why Darrell laughed so hard at that question.
"They're doing it on purpose," he said. "They're demonstrating, in a lighthearted way, how pervasive the species has become."
What do you doodle?
April 16, 2014
Darrell and I were about to have a conference call with the team who's going to rep our radio shows. I'd written the ringleader's name down so I wouldn't embarrass myself by forgetting that, and then I started drawing a little beehive of circles next to it.
At the risk of revealing there's nothing too trivial for me to dissect I asked myself the following: "Why circles?" The last time I remembered doodling -- in college, believe it or not -- I drew triangles.
This means something, I bet.
So I looked it up, because the Internet knows everything. It seems I've moved from "purposeful and meticulous" to outgoing and honest, if not totally confident.
That rings true.
It reminded me how, after my divorce, I started crossing my T's from right to left. I couldn't figure out why, and it was such a sudden switch I couldn't stop wondering what it meant.
Is this what it means? "When the T bar goes back to the left, representing the past, it shows introversion." Divorce has a way, I think, of making you introverted. You're a little less eager to hand over your soul to just anyone. So there's a possibility that analysis is dead on.
I understand handwriting analysis -- or doodling analysis -- as much as I understand astrology or professional wrestling. Which is to say, not at all.
I don't discount what I don't understand, though. I'm sort of a sucker for the mystery of it. And Darrell's such a skeptic it helps keep things even more interesting around here!

This project utilized both shore-based and shipboard commercial marine radar technology to collect wave statistics. In the first application a shore-based system was installed at Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon in order to collect real-time wave information. This information was collected under the auspices of the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS) and will be used in ongoing studies on wave-current interaction. In the second application, a shipboard radar system was utilized to develop processing procedures and algorithms for collecting offshore wave data. These shipboard collections were in support of the environmental baseline study of the Reedsport Wave Energy Site, funded by the Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET). 2009 2009-12-15T00:00:00Z Case Study for Tsunami Design of Coastal Infrastructure: Spencer Creek Bridge, Oregon http://hdl.handle.net/1957/55167 Case Study for Tsunami Design of Coastal Infrastructure: Spencer Creek Bridge, Oregon Yim, Solomon C.; Wei, Yong; Azadbakht, Mohsen; Nimmala, Seshu; Potisuk, Tanarat The absence of tsunami load provisions in coastal infrastructure design has led to unchecked resistance capacity of bridges against one of the most eminent natural hazards on the U.S. west coast. The Spencer Creek Bridge, which was completely rebuilt on the Oregon coast in 2009, is a unique example to demonstrate development and implementation of site-specific tsunami loads during the design stage. Two tsunami models, the Cornell Multigrid Coupled Tsunami model (COMCOT) and the Finite-Volume Wave model (FVWAVE), defined the flow fields from three rupture configurations postulated for a Cascadia earthquake, which has a moment magnitude of 9.0 consistent with the seismic design of the bridge structure. Although both models produce comparable surface elevations at the site, the finite-volume formulation of FVWAVE provides higher flow speed because of its capability to conserve momentum and mass even with formation of tsunami bores. The FVWAVE results define the input to the computational fluid dynamic module of LS-DYNA. The computed time history of the horizontal and vertical loads on the bridge deck, in turn, provide the input to a finite-element model of the bridge structure for capacity comparisons and damage analysis. It is concluded that the earthquake design specifications used for this particular bridge provide more than sufficient strength to resist the maximum tsunami horizontal force. The margin of safety is much smaller for the uplift force, but still remains in an acceptable range.

Small-scale physical experiments were conducted to investigate the application of the Goda wave pressure formulae modified to predict the horizontal wave loads on elevated structures considering non-breaking, broken, and impulsive breaking waves. The air gap defined as the vertical distance from the still water level to the base of the structure played a key role in the reduction of wave impact forces. Physical model results using random waves confirmed that the modified application of the Goda wave pressure formulae provided a good estimate of the horizontal forces on elevated structures for both broken and impulsive breaking waves. As the air gap was increased, the resulting forces decreased, and the estimated values became increasingly conservative. When the ratio of the air gap to water depth, a/h′, increased from −1.0 to 1.5, the reduction in force was approximately 75% when the wave height to breaking water depth ratio, H/h[subscript b], was equal to unity.

Concept inventory results from diverse fields suggest that students do not understand fundamental engineering, mathematics, and science concepts. These two concerns may result from different knowledge deficiencies; one from lack of conceptual understanding and the other from lack of applied knowledge. The research goals of this paper are to identify misconceptions, knowledge about phenomena that are persistent and incorrect, related to traffic signal operations and design in novice and expert engineering students and practicing engineering and to attempt to explain the patterns in misconceptions across these three cohorts. Results indicate three patterns (decreasing, increasing, and no change) of misconceptions across the three cohorts considered in this study (novice students, expert students, and practicing engineers). The pattern of decreasing misconception can be explained by a traditional model of learning that suggests improved understanding with additional instruction and student time on task. The pattern of increasing misconception appeared for concepts that were particularly complex and confounded, where practicing engineers produced much more complex answers that were mostly correct, but made leaps and speculations not yet proven in the literature. Misconception frequencies that stayed the same tended to include topics that do not have required national standards or that are buried in automated processes. The process of identifying and documenting misconceptions that exist across these cohorts is a necessary step in the development of data driven curriculum. An example of a conceptual exercise developed from four misconceptions identified in this study is also demonstrated. This is an author's peer-reviewed final manuscript, as accepted by the publisher.

Gents, recently got a Romanian SKS during a trade. Initially I didn't know what country the rifle was from, but had owned a Chinese SKS for my first semi-auto rifle when I was 18, back when you could get em for around $100. Liked SKS's ever since. I also have fired several Russians over the years. This particular gun's origins irked my curiousity, as it looked Russian because of its blade bayonet and reciever markings, but didn't have a laminated stock. It took me until I got home with it to find the "Cugir Romania" stamp on the barrel. I've done a little research since then and found out several decent facts about the gun from SKS collectors, such as only 450,000 were made, possibly on Russian machinery and that the Romainian government denied producing them. An unknown small number of them were imported into the U.S. and went pretty fast. A Romy is an apparently hard to find SKS variant nowadays with it's accuracy, quality and prices rivaling a Russian. I'd like to know more, but the original posts dated no later than 2008.
I'm curious as to what this SKS might be worth as of current prices. The gun reciever is marked CD-4603, 1958. All of the numbers on the reciever, bolt carrier, bolt, top cover, trigger group, magazine and stock match, without being "forced" or overwritten. It has around 90-95% of it's bluing, no rust, save the chrome on the bolt carrier, which has more of a patina than I prefer. The wood has a factory made storage dent up by the crossbolt, but again the overall finish of this gun is a LOT better than other comparable SKS's made in Romania that I've seen pictures of that were for sale.
I may or may not sell the rifle, trades are possible, but I'd still like to see what it may be worth first. Pics are included, any info is appreciated!

finally, I don't feel stupid for not knowing what they're thinking! good voice choices (... well, thanks for getting somebody to do the voices, at least), although now I'm kind of freaked out by how many people have something wrong with one of their eyes in this series. for 1-5 (i think), it was Shell and (... DOH) er, Dark, was it? Then it was SithLord #1 and Whitey after that (I've figured out that she's called Delta by now... at least, i think I have). Now it's Kat, this new girl, and... why does Dark have a mask like the drone-lookin' dudes? somethin happen to his other eye? Wait, what happened to his left eye the first time?! At this point, Ice is the only one that's gonna get away with the ability to see straight out of both eyes.
... what else? Uh, what's with the drone masks (the easy way out when you need a lot of enemies but don't feel like introducing any of them by name, hence no real face), and if Kat, Ice, Dark, and Shell have made it this long into the 'war', it's a wonder that it's still even going.

This was one of Lancasters' least appreciated performances in the wind down of his career. He gives Major Asa Barker a sense of genuine salty humor and a hard edge of the disheartend military veteran. GO TELL THE SPARTINS was sadly lost in the rush of big Vietnam dramas in 1978 (THE DEER HUNTER, COMING HOME). It is a small marvel and a sterling effort by director Ted Post.

Former Minister Koujalgi deputed to iron out differences
ZP posts election slated for Saturday
Post of zilla panchayat president reserved for woman from Backward Class 2 A category
BIJAPUR: Concerned over the stand taken by rival groups with regard to the election of president and vice-president of the zilla panchayat, the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) has deputed former Minister V.S. Koujalgi to iron out differences.
According to District Congress Committee president and former MLA from Sindagi, Sharanappa Sunagar, Mr. Koujalgi will arrive here on Friday. He is scheduled to hold talks with the zilla panchayat members and other leaders of the party.
In the second term of 20 months, the post of president is reserved for a woman from Backward Class 2 A category and that of vice-president for general category. The election is slated for Saturday.
The Congress has comfortable majority with 21 members, including an associate member, in the 38-member panchayat.
However, they are divided into two groups.
The faction of All India Congress Committee member, M.B. Patil, MLA representing Tikota segment comprising rural areas of Bijapur taluk, and former Minister B.S. Patil Sasanur commands the support of 11 members. The group is projecting Apsara Begum Chapparabandh, representing Nidagundi segment, for the post of president.
On the other hand, the rival faction led by Basavanabagewadi MLA Shivanand Patil and Muddebihal MLA C.S. Nadagouda wants Sangeetha Dinni of Sarwad segment to become president.
Their contention is that Arjun Rathod of the opposite camp was made president in the previous term, so this time a member of their faction (Ms. Dinni) be given a chance.
Representation issue
However, those in Patil-Sasanur camp argue that both Mr. Rathod and vice-president of previous term Shivanagouda Patil are from Bijapur taluk. The Sarwad segment represented by Ms. Dinni falls in Bijapur taluk. So, Ms. Chapparabandh, who is from Basavanabagewadi should be chosen this time, they say. Different caste groups are also at work.
While Muslim leaders in the party are rallying behind Ms. Chapparabandh, the Kuruaba community leaders have been pressuring the party leadership in favour of Ms. Dinni.
According to sources in the party, the KPCC leadership may decide to divide the 20-month term into two, and give the top post to the aspirants of the two groups on rotation.
The party is expecting more problems with regard to the post of vice-president because it is open for all. The party is likely to adopt the same formula for this post too.
The combined strength of the Janata Dal Secular (12) and the Bharatiya Janata Party in the panchayat is 17, and they too have eligible candidates for the top post.

attention strawberry officianados.
Hello my name is Patrick. This is my first time posting here so I'll be brief. I could use some expertise from anybody who has any experience or strawberry growing. I have an idea to use the PVC tower message inside of the cabinet to grow hydroponically. I just want to do this as a test to see how well it would work before I go and spend a lot of money building a bigger cabinet or 2. Basically do you think that this would work. Putting two PVC type towers inside of each cabinet with plants only planted on the insides facing the lights that r setup in the middle of the cabinet. My go for now is just to grow some delicious hydroponic strawberries for me and my family and if I had success with this possibly building bigger towers to sell at local markets. Also what grow medium do you suggest using when growing hydroponically. And also how many watts of light do you think I should need? Thanks so much for any help it I really appreciate everything and I will be here to ask many questions so I hope you guys are very patient!
