Diffraction by fractal metallic supergratings
Optics Express, Vol. 15, Issue 24, pp. 15628-15636 (2007)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (543 KB)
The reflectance of corrugated surfaces with a fractal distribution of grooves is investigated. Triadic and polyadic Cantor fractal distributions are considered, and the reflected intensity is compared with that of the corresponding periodic structure. The self-similarity property of the response is analyzed when varying the depth of the grooves and the lacunarity parameter. The results confirm that the response is self-similar for the whole range of depths considered, and this property is also maintained for all values of the lacunarity parameter.

Report: SMBs Moving Towards Interactive Media Spending
An extensive report from Borrell Associates finds small to medium-size businesses are gearing up to spend billions more in "non-advertising" marketing over the next five years.
A report by research and consulting firm Borrell Associates finds small to medium-size businesses are planning on tripling their "non-advertising" marketing (Web-based advertising and other online promotions) by 2013. However, the report, "Main Street Goes Interactive," predicts interactive ad spending will post only modest gains- 10 percent over the next five years. The smallest U.S. businesses have average annual sales of $212,000 and spend just $5,671 per year on advertising - typically in the yellow pages or on direct mail ads or coupons. But all that is changing with the rise of the Internet - where midmarket companies are now investing 11 percent of their advertising, up from less than four percent three years ago. The report finds SMBs are listening, but not yet fully cooperating.The nation's SMBs spent more than $6.9 billion on locally generated, locally targeted interactive advertising in 2008 - more than half of the U.S. total. Fifty-four percent of their spending went to "standard format" ads, the pop-ups and banners that preceded all other formats of interactive advertising. Almost a third went to paid search, and smaller amounts to e-mail marketing and streaming audio/video.
The interactivity of Web advertising is also making a big impact on yellow pages publishers. As broadband's "always on" capability and fast speeds make business look-ups on the Web faster than using the printed directory, the report found the books are taking a steep hit. Richer and more current content give online directories a huge advantage over the books, and Google's practice of listing businesses, addresses and phone numbers at the top of the search results hasn't helped. Borrell's projections call for a 38 percent decline in yellow pages advertising over the next five years, the steepest of any media.

Classification of instabilities in parallel two-phase flow
Boomkamp, P.A.M. and Miesen, R.H.M. (1996) Classification of instabilities in parallel two-phase flow. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 22 (1). pp. 67-88. ISSN 0301-9322
Abstract: | There is extensive literature on the stability of parallel two-phase flow, both in the context of liquid-liquid as well as gas-liquid flow. Aimed at making this literature more transparent, this paper presents a classification,scheme for the various instabilities arising in parallel two-phase flow. To achieve such a classification, the equation governing the rate of change of the linetic energy of the disturbances is evaluated for relevant values of the physical parameters. This shows the existence of five different ways of energy transfer from the primary to the disturbed flow, which have their origin in density stratification, velocity profile curvature, viscosity stratification or shear effects. Each class is discussed on the basis of references covering the developments over the last 35 years. |

(Saturday, February 9) Final Score: Kentucky 72, Auburn 62 Lexington, KY (Sports Network) - Nerlens Noel registered a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 12 rebounds as the Kentucky Wildcats delivered a 72-62 win over the Auburn Tigers in SEC action at Rupp Arena. Noel, who took only two shots from the floor on the day, also recorded just a single blocked shot for the Wildcats (17-6, 8-2 SEC) as they won their fifth straight game and the seventh in the last eight outings overall. Kyle Wiltjer came off the bench to record a team-best 14 points for the Wildcats, followed by Ryan Harrow and Willie Cauley-Stein with 12 points apiece and Julius Mays 10 in the triumph. The Tigers (9-14, 3-7), losers of seven of the last eight contests, were paced by Chris Denson with 15 points, Noel Johnson 12 and Shaquille Johnson 10 points all off the bench as the starting five for the program combined to score only 18 points. It took some time for Kentucky to warm up, but the team eventually led by six points at the break, 37-31, even as the hosts shot only 4-of-14 behind the 3- point line in the first half. In the second half the Wildcats again struggled on the perimeter, 2-of-7, but feasted at the free-throw line (17-of-24) in order to captured the double- digit win. Auburn was outscored at the charity stripe, 26-11, on the afternoon. 02/09 19:09:18 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

Over the past couple weeks I've been working on creating a brand new file archive from scratch (with a lovely download button provided by Slim Trashman). Although it looks very similar to the old paFileDB system, there is a lot more room for improvement now. This means that we'd like to hear from YOU what else you'd like to see in the file archive - (almost) all ideas are welcome! Feel free to post your comments and suggestions in this thread. For now, though, the file archive will function similarly to the old one, but with a few additions. The rating system has been improved, so be sure to give your input on the mods you like and dislike. Another addition is the author page where you can view all mods (and accompanying statistics) by a certain author. |

Beschreibung 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to systems and processes that are deployed to store and deliver customer and project information to relatively large user populations. More particularly, the present invention relates to database management systems which are used to store and deliver customer and project related information to users of the same via network connections. 2. Description of the Related Art In large organizations such as those that are service oriented, the storage and retrieval of information related to ongoing projects and customers often present significant problems for system managers, customers, and service support staff. In particular, service based organizations such as telephony and communications organizations have no effective way to store and disseminate information that may be used by engineering staff, support personnel, and, most importantly, customers to obtain needed information about ongoing projects, status data, performance metrics, etc. For example, when service problems occur (e.g., network outages), it is not uncommon for customers to scurry to obtain current and valid contact numbers and addresses of key personnel who can correct or otherwise handle and address such problems. As a result, frustrations on the part of customers can run high, services often are interrupted, and problems are not effectively and efficiently addressed and resolved. To address the problems associated with storing and delivering current information such as customer related information (e.g., support staff contact numbers and electronic mail addresses, etc.), many solutions have been proposed. For example, many organizations have implemented what have been referred to as "intranets" to allow organizational personnel to access central data repositories to retrieve contact information and the like. Unfortunately, such intranets often only allow small groups of select users (e.g., internal personnel) to access such information. Historically, intranets have not been deployed to allow larger user populations such as those including internal support and engineering personnel and external personnel such as customers to access central repositories of project and customer information. To address the limitations of conventional intranets, "extranets" have been proposed to address the constant need to provide access to project and/or customer information. Such systems allow larger user populations to access databases of relevant information. Unfortunately, however, extranet systems have not been deployed in any common, uniform, or convenient way to facilitate easy and efficient use by larger user populations. In particular, each customer or project often calls for a separate and distinct network system, thus requiring an extranet to be established on al la carte, custom basis. Accordingly, the instantiation of a special extranet system to support each particular customer can become a project that may be more resource intensive to establish and operate than the underlying services to which it is to relate. Moreover, in prior networked information delivery systems such as those embodying extranets and, in particular, in those utilized in organizations that provide telecommunications services, network management centers compiled trouble and customer support ticket data which was sent to various account teams. Upon receipt of such ticket data, the account teams would produce various reports for perusal by internal staff and customers. Accordingly, the information gathered via ticket responses, etc. was prepared internally and then delivered to customers for their processing. In prior systems, there was no way for customers, for example, to access an information repository managed by a service organization and retrieve live, up-to-date reports and analyses of system and network performance, statistics, contact information, process instructions, etc. Accordingly, there exists no truly effective solution to the ever-present problem of providing project and customer information to diverse user populations. And, as organizations take on more customers and/or offer more services (e.g., telecommunications services, etc.), they are faced with allocating resources merely to control and service the demands for information that ought to be readily and immediately available. Because there are no shared repositories of information between user groups within a particular organization, that information must be disseminated and, often, replicated within a corresponding system. Such redundancy is often the cause of many inconsistencies among stored information. Thus, there exists a need to provide a system and corresponding process for storing and providing customer and project related information to diverse user populations. To be viable such a system must be able to store customer and projected related information in a central repository that is accessible from inside and outside of an organization. Such a system must store and deliver information related to customers and projects including, but not limited to, personnel contact information, engineering information project status information, project planning procedures, etc. which is retrievable using conventional network data and content retrieval tools such as web browsers, etc. The present invention solves the problems mentioned above by providing a centralized data store containing information related to customers and projects that is easily accessible by diverse user populations including internal organizational personnel and external personnel such as customers. As such, the present invention provides many benefits associated with data storage and distribution not heretofore realized by prior database management systems and facilities. For example, during times of network or service related problems (e.g., service failures, outages, etc.), customers can now easily access a centralized data store to retrieve engineering and contact personnel information, learn about corrective procedures and processes, and, possibly, page and otherwise automatically initiate contact to personnel that are equipped and trained to respond to a particular service customer's needs. Additionally, because the present invention utilizes standard tools and facilities (e.g., web servers coupled to web browsers, etc.) to distribute information and customer content (e.g., project related information such as statistics, etc.), users are able to access such information without having to know or understand special system protocols, etc. The present invention solves the aforementioned problems to deliver the benefits mentioned above by providing a system and corresponding method for storing and delivering customer information. The system and method include and involve a data storage system for storing customer information including contact information, network addressing information, engineering, and customer service information related to at least one network service customer to whom network services are provided by a network service provider. The system and method also include and involve a network access system that is coupled to the data storage system via at least one data communications link and which is configured to provide access to at least one user to permit such user(s) to retrieve the customer information from the data storage system. According to another aspect of the present invention, provided is a method of using a data communications network that includes the steps of accessing a data communications network via a network connection, receiving a login authorization prompt to be validated within the data communications network, entering a login sequence via the network connection to be validated by a validation system within the data communications network, accessing a document delivery system within the data communications network after being validated by the validation system, and receiving customer information from the document delivery system based on the login sequence. The customer information includes contact information, network addressing information, engineering and customer service information related to at least one network service customer to whom network services are provided by a network service provider. The present invention is discussed in detail below with regard to the drawing figures attached hereto, of which: FIG. 1 is a diagram of a system in which customer and project related information is centrally stored within a common data repository and delivered via network connections, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart that illustrates steps that may be carried out within the system depicted in FIG. 1 to store and retrieve customer and project related information. The present invention is now discussed in detail with regard to the drawing figures that were briefly described above. Unless otherwise indicated, like parts and processes are referred to with like reference numerals. Referring now to FIG. 1, depicted therein is a diagram of a system in which customer and project related information is centrally stored within a common data repository and delivered, possibly to customers, via network connections. More particularly, FIG. 1 illustrates a system in which shared databases containing customer related information may be stored within server system and delivered to users such as customers via a variety of network connections. Such shared databases may include fields and tables needed to track network information for customers and/or projects. Such tables will include data such as IP addresses, protocols, phone numbers for contacts, personnel, passwords, and other contact information. Such data will be useful to customers, engineering staff, support personnel, account teams, etc. Additionally, databases stored in shared fashion in accordance with the present invention may include procedures and process instructions that further include escalation lists for problem handling, new site verification instructions, ticket opening and closing details, etc. Accordingly, exemplary system 100 provides such data services and includes a web server 102 (e.g., one that operates in accordance with the Netscape Enterprise Server, WINDOWS Internet Information Server packages, etc.), database servers 104 and 106 (e.g., server systems that operate in accordance with the WINDOWS SQL Database server software package which is manufactured and marketed by MICROSOFT CORPORATION). A network backbone 108 (having an IP address 205.223.?.?—an IP address accessible via a TCP/IP based network), a router 110 coupled to a redundancy platform 115 that includes a router 112, a network backbone 117, a redundant web server 114, and a redundant database server 116. Coupled to web server 102 are paging facilities 105 which are configured to automatically initiate pager notification calls in response to requests for the same from users who access web pages that facilitate immediate contact. Such paging facilities will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to allow numeric and text paging such as that used to send personnel text messages such as "CUSTOMER XXX NEEDS NETWORK TRAFFIC SUPPORT RELATIVE TO A DOWNED NETWORK SERVER." Also coupled to network backbone 108 via an exemplary network traffic interconnect is a hub and switch system comprising components 118 and 120. Connected thereto is a firewall system 122, a router system 124, a firewall system 126 and an organizational internal Intranet system 128. Organizational Intranet 128 may be configured to operate according to a protocol such as TCP/IP and may be addressable via an IP address such as 22.214.171.124 (a private IP address not necessarily registered with an IP address registration authority). Coupled to the structures mentioned above, are various customer networks 130, which may be coupled to web server 102 and database servers 104 and 106, respectively, via the public internet 132, a hyperstream frame relay network 134, and/or other dial up facilities 136. Accordingly, customer personnel accessing a network connection via a customer network such as one included within customer networks 130 may access internal intranet 128 via a dial-up facility through a firewall to gain access to customer and/or project information stored within database servers 104 and 106 via a conventional web browser facility. Because such information is centrally stored within a repository including data stored within database servers 104 and 106 which may be accessible via web server 102, a customer has ready access to current and up-to-date information related to a particular project or service offered and provided by an organization such as an organization that provides telecommunication services and the like. In particular, in the case that a network outage occurs, a customer may obtain ready access to information stored within data base servers 104 and 106 related to that particular customer via a web browser, for example, and immediately obtain information to contact appropriate personnel for correction and mitigation of network outage problems (e.g., such as via paging facilities 105). Having such information available to all personnel associated with a particular project or service for a particular customer, for example, minimizes the amount of time need to contact someone. Additionally, system 100 may be outfitted with paging capability such that a script provided through web server 102 may allow automatic paging via paging facilities 105 to particular personnel about which data is stored in database servers 104 and 106 to allow a customer to automatically page a particular person at an active and current paging number in the event that problems and network difficulties are experienced. Such paging systems will be readily understood by those skilled in the art and may include text paging and the like. Accordingly, the present invention provides a singular and central store for customer and project information. In addition, the present invention provides a reporting aspect that will allow various network management centers to report statistics such as mean time to repair, network availability, total number of tickets (e.g., trouble tickets) open, chronic issues and resolution scenarios etc. back to an account team and the customers associated therewith. By maintaining all of the reporting of such information on-line and in a current up-to-date central facility, the possibility that incorrect information is passed from one particular group to another is eliminated. The speed at which the reports are published may be measured in milliseconds unlike typical or traditional solutions where hard copy reports are printed and shipped overnight, etc. Customers and vendors can now download large files and print reports in a matter of seconds. Such a procedure eliminates the endless number of copies that are made for presentations and results are more user friendly. Less reproduction of unnecessary and unwanted copies will decrease reporting costs and increase information dissemination efficiency. Furthermore, because the present invention utilizes HTML and other web based solutions to provide information, the present invention gives all parties involved with a particular service and/or project an interface to reports, data, and miscellaneous tools that are accessible through any standard web browser. The present invention provides servers which are accessible via various routes to account teams, engineers, and customer personnel. Moreover, the present invention will be available over connections such as dial-up facilities 136, dedicated circuits, shared local ETHERNET or even via the Internet (such as via the world wide web). Web server 102 will provide each appropriate group limited access to relevant information as defined through appropriate scripts, etc., which will be readily understood by those skilled in the art of information delivery and database storage after reviewing the present invention. With specific regard to the access paths by which customer personnel may access web server 102 and data base servers 104 and 106, respectively, customers have the option of accessing the same via the public Internet 132, via hyperstream frame relay network 134, dial-up facilities, etc. Dial-up facilities are generally inexpensive and the simplest to establish. However, such facilities are limited by current analog modem speeds ranging from 28.8K bits per second up to almost 56K bits per second. In addition to the latency from such a slow connection, dial-up implementations provided by the present invention require that the customer set-up each of their computers with a dial-up facility. Accordingly, although dial-up facilities 136 are permitted in accordance with the present invention, customers and other personnel may choose not to use the same as dial-up facilities often are slower then desired. Alternatively, customers and other personnel have the option of connecting to database servers 104 and 106 via web servers 102 via Internet connections. This option is simple to implement and can be done securely. Unfortunately, some customers and other personnel may be hesitant to rely on the public Internet due to security issues and the like. Although safe with encryption (e.g., SSL) on the browser side via a browser and a server system, a customer may be allowed to access a firewall available from an Internet service provider to the Internet. Alternatively, a hyperstream frame relay (HSFR) connection may be used to establish a communications link between customer facilities and servers 102, 104 and 106 respectively. There are several key benefits that make this type of connection preferable over dial-up and Internet connections as discussed above. For example, a frame relay connection is a dedicated connection with guaranteed bandwidth. This insures that customers may access the information faster and allow developers of web sites, for example, to build content with graphics-intensive tools/pages. The circuit speeds can range from 56 kilobits (DS0) to 1.54 megabits (T1) based upon customer needs. A customer would have to add a single route to a service facility to their existing network routers to support hyperstream frame relay facilities. With such high-speed frame relay connections, a customer's data is only transmitted back to them and not via any other network connection which may be accessed by third parties such as those engaged in fraudulent review of network traffic. This version of connectivity can add value to a service by providing dedicated access. The customer, however, would purchase an additional permanent virtual circuit from a service provider for dedicated bandwidth or BOD (bandwidth on demand) requirements. To facilitate secure data communications in the context of the present invention and, in particular, within the exemplary network arrangement illustrated in system 100, multiple security checkpoints are in place guaranteeing compliance with particular safety standards. If a customer is using dial-up communications, their communications will be restricted to the specific IP addresses of servers 102, 104, and 106. This type of restriction may be enforced via a firewall connection such as one handled by firewall 126. In the context of Internet and hyperstream frame relay, a first security checkpoint for Internet or HSFR connections is a CISCO router that is connected to the Internet and HSFR. This router would have access lists placed in it that limit each customer to their virtual IP address on the web server as well as restricting traffic to the HTTP protocol. In the event that a customer is using a private network address, an entry router will be configured with CISCO's national address translation software, eliminating the aforementioned problems. Additionally, all connections through dial-up, Internet and hyperstream frame relay will go through a firewall 122. This firewall will be configured to restrict the customer, for example, to specific IP addresses of servers 102, 104, and 106. This firewall can be configured to grant everyone on the customers' own Intranet access to the web server or only the IP address that the customer provides. Once the customer attempts to access web server 102, they will have to authenticate themselves via a secure, encrypted login sequence. Such login sequence will validate the users security privileges, for example, via the WINDOWS NT system level in the event that WINDOWS NT Version 4.0 (manufactured and marketed by MICROSOFT CORPORATION) is used. Each customer will belong to a specific NT system group which will allow them access to their particular homepage (as specified via a specific port and virtual server connection) while restricting them from other areas on the same server. Each active server page will check in an encrypted database that will verify regions (home IP addresses) of the web server to which the particular user or customer has attempted to gain access. Accordingly, the structure and arrangements depicted in FIG. 1, link personnel from various user populations (engineers, support personnel, customers, etc.) to customer systems allowing data to be shared that is otherwise stored in a single, central location. The dissemination of information in this manner is unique in the telecommunications service industry. Additionally, the present invention allows reports to be prepared via on-line sessions and to be made available directly to customers and corresponding account teams. The customer can page, send e-mail, and even videoconference with engineers from a web site initiated location. By sharing a single source of data with customers and other personnel, a network service provider can react to problems in a more timely fashion to network outages, etc. The present invention prevents double keying of information and thus prevents entry errors. Additional benefits of the present invention include shared reports, commonality among all network management centers, data dissemination and tracking, and procedure availability. Streamlining and consistency are key parts to the novel approaches provided by the present invention. Any telecommunications company that utilizes the present invention may be able to manage more data networks and service additional customers. The present invention facilitates the dissemination of information from a central storage facility to those customers and other personnel who have appropriate access to the same. The operations that may be carried out to realize such functionality are illustrated in FIG. 2, to which reference is now made. In particular, FIG. 2 illustrates the operations that may be carried out to obtain centrally stored information related to customers and/or projects. More particularly, FIG. 2 illustrates a flow chart that depicts the operations that may be carried out to obtain such information. In particular, process operations start at step S2-1 and immediately proceeds to step S2-2. At step S2-2, a customer and/or other personnel may access web server 102 via a network connection as described above with regard to system 100 shown in FIG. 1. Next, at step S2-3, web server 102 will access databases containing customer-related information and format the same for delivery via a hypertext interface according to the present invention. Next, at step S24, a user's end terminal (such as a customer's end user terminal or personnel data processing system such as a personnel computer, etc.) may receive web content and/or HTML content regarding customer related information, reports, tools, etc. from web server 102 via a network connection as described above. Processing ends at step S2-5. Thus, having fully described the present invention by way of example with reference to the attached drawings figures, it will be readily appreciated that many changes and modifications may be made to the invention and to any of the exemplary embodiments shown and/or described herein without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, which is defined in the appended claims.

Kathie Auton:
I was already getting these recipes down on paper when the mackerel news hit the headlines last week. In case you missed it, the gist is that mackerel, even dear old reliable mackerel, are no longer sustainable. But fear not. Sardines still are. Phew. A recent post of mine for was all about how frozen sustainable fish is the friend of the family cook. But if even a spot of digging around in the freezer is feeling taxing after all the busyness of the festive period and you don't want to get your hands cold, perhaps I could suggest a ferret around in the tin cupboard instead? Yes, it's 2013 and tinned fish is the new frozen fish.

Something fishy
Kathie Auton:
I was already toying with writing a few simple fish recipes when I read a piece in The Guardian by George Monbiot – it's a very interesting read and raises several important issues about buying fish. From my perspective, as someone who wants to feed my family well, fish can be a scaly issue. Mr Monbiot is right, a lot of fish recipes you see in newspapers and magazines use ingredients that I either don't have hanging around or can't really afford, and that's before I've even considered the sustainability question.

Since September 2006, the law says that parents must use an approved car seat for their child up to 1.35 meter in height. In some countries, this maximum limit is 1.50 meter, see chart below. Approved car seats carry an orange i-Size label or ECE-R 44/04 label, that you can find mostly at the bottom of the car seat. Car seats carrying a ECE-R 44/03 label comply to an older standard. Car seats with other ECE labels are too outdated, it is not allowed to use or sell these products.

High on the Abilene School District agenda Monday night was discussing the four new accountability indices under House Bill 5, a law passing assessment standards in public schools.
Director of Accountability Jeannie Forehand explained the district will not be evaluated on a performance index framework that includes: student achievement, student progress, closing performance gaps between impoverished student populations and post secondary readiness.
"We always want to know how we're doing," Forehand said. "We need to know where our strengths are. We need to know the areas we need to improve. I don't know a public district that doesn't want that feedback. It will be good for us to know where we are progressing and where we still need some additional work."
In order to receive an acceptable rating the district must meet the required target in each index. Forehand said her greatest concern with the new measurements are the unknown and, "Being able to communicate such a complex system to our constituents, to our school board to our parents, to our students and to our faculty and staff."
The board also unanimously approved sending a letter to the Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams asking to return local control to school boards, allowing them to ultimately make decisions on curriculum. This resolution was because lawmakers did away with the use of future CSCOPE lesson plans in school districts.
The board also discussed the proposed budget for the 2013-2014 school year. Trustees discussed adding personnel to elementary classrooms. Classrooms should be at a 1 to 22 student, teacher ratio. This past school year, the district needed a waiver to accommodate additional students. The budget hearing is set for August 26.
At the end of the meeting Superintendent Heath Burns introduced Dr. Audra Ude as the new Associate Superintendent. Dr. Cathy Ashby left that job to take the CEO position with the United Way.

java floating point comparison
I am doing numerical analysis in Java. Due to all the arithmetic including the use of rounding functions, I often end up with floating point numbers such as 29.400000000000002 or 0.00000000001. I often need to compare such numbers for equality which fails because of the error induced.
How do I compare these numbers? I tried using an epsilon such as
if (Math.abs(a-b) <= EPISLON) { }
but the problem is that the EPSILON is variable and does not always work..
thank you,

I often need to compare such numbers for equality which fails because of the error induced.
("Error" suggests that there is something wrong. And there isn't.)
but the problem is that the EPSILON is variable and does not always work.
Sometimes all we want of "a==b" is that the quantities are within some small (fixed) tolerance. So we declare EPSILON as some static final amount and use it as you suggest.
Other times that won't do. For instance the acceptable closeness might be a relative value: a certain proportion of the given values. We might express that with
Java Code:static final int FACTOR = ... if(Math.abs(a-b) <= Math.abs(a+b)/FACTOR) { ...
It would seem to depend on the details of what you are trying to do: ie on what "doesn't work" means in this case.Last edited by pbrockway2; 03-01-2009 at 02:15 AM. Reason: typo
Your question is not really a Java question, the same topic comes up in all languages that use floating point. Your "problem" is not a problem, its a feature of how floating point works on computers.
Your "EPISLON" comment about it being a variable is not technically correct, its only a variable if you write your code to have it as a variable. But variable or constant, that's not the solution.
@pbrockway2's hints are in the right direction, but you really need to engineer the numerical analysis of your algorithm. You should google for "numerical analysis". The proper answer depends on your problem domain, and what kinds of calculations are being done.

Numerical analysis requires that you keep track of the maximum possible error your self, and then compare consider all numbers that are within that error bound as equivalent.
That's hard.
The easier approach, is to use integer math instead of floating point math. If a long does not give you enough significant digits, you can use a BigInteger.
Using BigInteger is not practical for a lot of things. Its domain specific, but for example, calculating correlation coefficients requires floating point. As does much of engineering.
BigInteger is not a solution to the problem, its designed for exactly what its name is, really big integers.

You can use BigDecimal if you need exact representation and calculation of large values with decimal places. However, that's generally reserved for financial applications.
I don't understand why you say your solution doesn't work. First, if you need more precision, use double instead of float. Second, so what if you have a field named epsilon? (Don't use all upper case unless this field is declared static final, which makes it a constant.) You can write a utility class that has a method
public static boolean equalTo(double pValue1, double pValue2, double pEpsilon) {
return pValue1 >= pValue2 ? (pValue1 - pValue2 <= pEpsilon) : (pValue2 - pValue1 <= pEpsilon);
This allows you specify the value of epsilon.

Hodgson confident on Gerrard
New Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is confident Steven Gerrard will remain at the club after he held personal talks with the Reds captain.
The 62-year-old met the England midfielder and vice-captain Jamie Carragher on his first day at the club and despite concern over Gerrard's future Hodgson said the player did not even raise the issue.
"Obviously Steven and Jamie are the playing heartbeat of the club and it's very important we keep people like that with us," he said.
"I anticipate there might be a situation where other big clubs will try to sign Steven but he gave no indication that he wanted to leave."
Hodgson told LFC Weekly: "Nobody at the club wants him to go so I will be doing my utmost to make sure he stays. I am confident he will."

Mozilla's XMLHttpRequest is modelled after Microsoft's IXMLHttpRequest object. The goal has been to make Mozilla's version match Microsoft's version as closely as possible, but there are bound to be some differences.
In general, Microsoft's documentation for IXMLHttpRequest can be used. Mozilla's interface definitions provide some additional documentation. The web page to look at is http://www.mozilla.org/xmlextras/.
See also XMLHttpRequest.
Mozilla's XMLHttpRequest object can be created in JavaScript like this:
new XMLHttpRequest()
compare to Internet Explorer:
new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
From JavaScript, the methods and properties visible in the XMLHttpRequest object are a combination of nsIXMLHttpRequest and nsIJSXMLHttpRequest there is no need to differentiate between those interfaces.
From native code, the way to set up onload and onerror handlers is a bit different. Here is a comment from Johnny Stenback <email@example.com>:
The mozilla implementation of nsIXMLHttpRequest implements the interface nsIDOMEventTarget and that's how you're supported to add event listeners. Try something like this: nsCOMPtr<nsIDOMEventTarget> target(do_QueryInterface(myxmlhttpreq)); target->AddEventListener(NS_LITERAL_STRING("load"), mylistener, PR_FALSE) where mylistener is your event listener object that implements the interface nsIDOMEventListener. The 'onload', 'onerror', and 'onreadystatechange' attributes moved to nsIJSXMLHttpRequest, but if you're coding in C++ you should avoid using those.
Though actually, if you use addEventListener from C++ weird things will happen too, since the result will depend on what JS happens to be on the stack when you do it....
Conclusion: Do not use event listeners on XMLHttpRequest from C++, unless you're aware of all the security implications. And then think twice about it.
Method Overview
void abort(); |
string getAllResponseHeaders(); |
void openRequest(in AUTF8String method, in AUTF8String url, in boolean async, in AString user, in AString password); |
void open(in AUTF8String method, in AUTF8String url); |
void send(in nsIVariant body); |
void overrideMimeType(in AUTF8String mimetype); |
Attribute | Type | Description |
channel | nsIChannel | readonly The request uses a channel in order to perform the request. This attribute represents the channel used for the request. NULL if the channel has not yet been created. In a multipart request case, this is the initial channel, not the different parts in the multipart request. Mozilla only. Requires elevated privileges to access. |
responseXML | nsIDOMDocument | readonlyThe response to the request is parsed as if it were a text/xml stream. This attributes represents the response as a DOM Document object. NULL if the request is unsuccessful or has not yet been sent. |
responseText | AString | The response to the request as text. NULL if the request is unsuccessful or has not yet been sent. |
status | unsigned long | readonly The status of the response to the request for HTTP requests. |
statusText | AUTF8String | readonly The string representing the status of the response for HTTP requests. |
readyState | long | readonly The state of the request. Possible values: 0 UNINITIALIZED open() has not been called yet. |
multipart | boolean | Set to true if the response is expected to be a stream of possibly multiple (XML) documents. If set to true, the content type of the initial response must be multipart/x-mixed-replace or an error will be triggerd. All requests must be asynchronous. This enables server push. For each XML document that's written to this request, a new XML DOM document is created and the onload handler is called in between documents. Note that when this is set, the onload handler and other event handlers are not reset after the first XML document is loaded, and the onload handler will be called as each part of the response is received. |
void abort();
If the request has been sent already, this method will abort the request.
string getAllResponseHeaders();
Return value
All of the response headers as a string for HTTP requests.
Note that this will return all the headers from the *current* part of a multipart request, not from the original channel. Returns
A string containing all of the response headers or NULL if the response has not yet been received.
ACString getResponseHeader(in AUTF8String header);
The name of the header to retrieve
Return value
Returns a string containing the text of the header specified or NULL if the response has not yet been received or the header does not exist in the response.
[noscript] void openRequest(in AUTF8String method, in AUTF8String url, in boolean async, in AString user, in AString password);
Native (non-script) method to initialize a request. Note that the request is not sent until the send
method is invoked. If there is an "active" request (that is, if open() or openRequest() has been called already), this is equivalent to calling abort().
The HTTP method, for example "POST" or "GET". Ignored if the URL is not a HTTP(S) URL.
The URL to which to send the request.
Whether the request is synchronous or asynchronous i.e. whether send returns only after the response is received or if it returns immediately after sending the request. In the latter case, notification of completion is sent through the event listeners. This argument must be true if the multipart attribute has been set to true, or an exception will be thrown.
A username for authentication if necessary.
A password for authentication if necessary.
void open(in AUTF8String method, in AUTF8String url); void open(in AUTF8String method, in AUTF8String url, in boolean async, in AString user, in AString password);
Meant to be a script-only method for initializing a request. The parameters are similar to the ones detailed in the description of openRequest
, but the last 3 are optional.
If there is an "active" request (that is, if open()
or openRequest()
has been called already), this is equivalent to calling abort()
The HTTP method - either "POST" or "GET". Ignored if the URL is not a HTTP URL.
The URL to which to send the request.
(optional) Whether the request is synchronous or asynchronous i.e. whether send returns only after the response is received or if it returns immediately after sending the request. In the latter case, notification of completion is sent through the event listeners. The default value is true. This argument must be true if the multipart attribute has been set to true, or an exception will be thrown.
(optional) A username for authentication if necessary. The default value is the empty string
(optional) A password for authentication if necessary. The default value is the empty string
void send(in nsIVariant body);
Sends the request. If the request is asynchronous, returns immediately after sending the request. If it is synchronous returns only after the response has been received.
All event listeners must be set before calling send().
After the initial response, all event listeners will be cleared.
Either an instance of nsIDOMDocument, nsIInputStream or a string (nsISupportsString in the native calling case). This is used to populate the body of the HTTP request if the HTTP request method is "POST". If the parameter is a nsIDOMDocument, it is serialized. If the parameter is a nsIInputStream, then it must be compatible with nsIUploadChannel.setUploadStream, and a Content-Length header will be added to the HTTP request with a value given by nsIInputStream.available. Any headers included at the top of the stream will be treated as part of the message body. The MIME type of the stream should be specified by setting the Content- Type header via the setRequestHeader method before calling send.
{{ Note("When sending a nsIDOMDocument, versions of Firefox prior to version 3 always send the request using UTF-8 encoding; Firefox 3 properly sends the document using the encoding specified by body.xmlEncoding
, or UTF-8 if no encoding is specified.") }}
{{ method_gecko_minversion("sendAsBinary","1.9") }}
void sendAsBinary(in DOMString body);
Sends the request, with the given string in binary. The string is converted to 8-bit by truncation (i.e. the high-order byte of each character is discarded).
void setRequestHeader(in AUTF8String header, in AUTF8String value);
Sets a HTTP request header for HTTP requests. You must call open before setting the request headers.
The name of the header to set in the request.
The body of the header.
void overrideMimeType(in AUTF8String mimetype);
Override the mime type returned by the server (if any). This may be used, for example, to force a stream to be treated and parsed as text/xml, even if the server does not report it as such. This must be done before the send
method is invoked.
- The type used to override that returned by the server (if any).
Example code
This is a simple example code for opening a simple HTTPRequest from a xul application (like a Mozilla extension) without using observers:
var req = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/xmlextras/xmlhttprequest;1"].createInstance(); req.open('POST', "http://www.foo.bar:8080/nietzsche.do", true); req.send('your=data&and=more&stuff=here');

To serve and protect: Perspectives on policing from the new Snoqualmie Valley department
A bump in the night, a suspicious vehicle parked out on the street, or that uncomfortable feeling you have when strange people show up periodically who don't belong in the neighborhood. These are a few of the reasons why block watch programs, such as a neighborhood watch, are important to have.
Most people know what is going on in their neighborhoods better than any outside agency. Utilizing what neighbors know and having open communication with other neighbors leads to less crimes and a better neighborhood atmosphere. Creating a group of neighbors that talk to each other and watch the neighborhood for anything strange or out of place is what makes the neighborhood watch.
Neighborhood watch programs are a group of neighbors who get together and communicate with each other to share thoughts, ideas and information about what is going on near and around their homes. Meetings can be held amongst those neighbors to bring the neighborhood closer and get to know who is who in the neighborhood. Any issues or concerns can be brought to the police department and shared, so everyone can be brought up to speed on what is actually going on in the neighborhood.
Police can't be everywhere at once. Therefore, we do depend on information passed on to us from individuals or groups who see suspicious or unlawful actions taking place. When criminals know that a neighborhood isn't going to stand for that type of behavior, they move on to another area that doesn't stand together.
If you or anyone that you know may be interested in starting a Neighborhood Watch program or interested in learning more about them, contact Officer James Sherwood at firstname.lastname@example.com or (425) 888-3333.

Many species of leaf beetles feed in groups when young, then individually as they mature. Most leaf beetles pupate on the ground or attached to foliage or bark, and overwinter as adults in debris or protected places, such as bark crevices or inside buildings. Most species feed only on a few closely related plants.
